It was an eventful day for motorists on the Mt Hutt access road on Saturday, with one car going off the road, and another being consumed by fire.

The first incident occurred about 7.30am, when a Methven skier, on his way to the skifield, drove off the side about five kilometres from the base of the road.

The vehicle rolled about six times and came to a stop about 30 metres below the road. Miraculously the man, who was the sole occupant, was able to walk out of the wreck and get back up to the access road, where a fellow motorist transported him up to the Mt Hutt medical centre.

He was checked here and found to be fine, having sustained little more than a scratch to his head.

Ski area manager James McKenzie said the accident had been caused by suspected sunstrike. As such, it was a good reminder to have a clean windscreen, keep the windscreen visor down, and wear sunglasses.

“That’s the same everywhere, particularly on the mountain, as when you are driving up that time of day it does feel like you are driving into the sun,” McKenzie said.

It was the first time a motorist had gone off the road for two years, the last incident also representing a lucky escape when a Frenchman was driving down too fast for the conditions and went off

the road at Cutting Edge Corner.

There have been big improvements made to the safety of the road in recent years, with barriers installed at its most treacherous locations.

Mt Hutt staff were planning on retrieving the vehicle yesterday.

Later on the Saturday morning, about 11.25am, a car caught fire on the road and was destroyed.

The road was closed for a short time to both uphill and downhill traffic as the Methven Volunteeer Fire Brigade responded.

No further details were available from the brigade by deadline yesterday. It was the second mobile property fire its members had responded to for the day, with the first at 5.41am.

Suffrage celebrations begin

By SuSan SandyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

On Wednesday, New Zealand will mark 125 years since it became the first self-governing country in the world to grant women the right to vote.

Celebrations are gearing up in Mid Canterbury already, and at the weekend there was a Suffrage 125 breakfast at Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Methven, attended by about 40.

And yesterday a special church service was held at Plains Railway Church, followed by the planting of a Kate Sheppard camellia outside the historic building.

Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, speaking at the service, provided insight into how much Mid Canterbury has been at the forefront of the movement for gender equality.

“Sir John Hall, the Member of Parliament who tabled the legislation, was from not far from here, in Leeston. And one of my predecessors, Jenny Shipley, elected by the people of Ashburton, went on to become New Zealand’s first woman Prime Minister,” Falloon said.

“Although she finally broke that glass ceiling, our history goes back further, to Mary Grigg.”

Grigg was the granddaughter of

Sir John, and by winning the Mid Canterbury by-election of 1942, became New Zealand’s fourth female MP, and the first from the National Party.

“During her time in Parliament she advocated for more female police officers, controversially, at the time, calling for numbers to more than double. She successfully argued for women to serve on juries, which happened in 1943,” Falloon said.

We should rightly feel proud of how far society has come, however there was still much to be achieved with a gender pay gap of nine-and-a-half per cent, and women representing the majority of victims in the more than 100,000 family violence call-outs each year.

Planting the camellia was mayor Donna Favel with Plains Railway vice-president Lorayne Oakley and service celebrant Dellwyn Moylan.

Behind the Methven celebration was Ashburton District Councillor Liz McMillan and others.

McMillan said she was approached by resident Nicola Robertson about whether there was any events planned, and they came up with the idea of a commemorative breakfast.

Council chases art works

Strong winds fan blazes in Mid Canty

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Finding all the works of art owned by the Ashburton District Council has been a long journey of discovery for staff at Ashburton’s Art Gallery.

While there are about 200 known works of art that the council has bought or been gifted over the years, to date only 151 of those have been located and registered, but gallery curator Shirin Khosraviani an-

ticipates the search project will wrap up by the middle of next year.

Along with documenting and condition reporting every item in the collection, gallery staff perform a general clean of the frame and glazing of poorly kept items.

Some of those are returned to their location and displayed until the council decides on their long-term care.

While staff started out with a

list of ‘known’ items in the collection, they were finding art works that were not on any register, Khosraviani said.

Some watercolours were found to be in poor condition because of sun damage or from the effects of fluctuating temperatures and these were most often put into storage, she said.

Other objects, such as pottery pieces were left on display but were secured in place with earthquake wax.

There was some concern that many of those items were at risk from accidental bumps or damage from misuse, Khosraviani said.

Once all items were on a register, they could be valued and a decision made on their future.

This could include an exhibition of the works later next year.

The council would also need to decide whether it was prepared to fund conservation work on some paintings, she said.

Rakaia and surrounding firefighters fought a blaze at Chertsey into the night yesterday.

Rakaia was called to the fire in tree slashings about 1.45pm, believed to have flared up in the wind, and were backed up at the scene with units from Lauriston, Pendarves and Dunsandel.

Chief Tyrone Burrowes said embers in several heaps of tree slashings on a Chertsey property burned into grass around them and a gorse hedge.

About 7pm firefighters remained at the scene. The fire had not increased in size, but was requiring more gear to keep on top of.

Shortly after the callout mid-afternoon, Rakaia firefighters were called to a house fire on a Dorie farm. At the scene they found the owner had put out the blaze, in an unoccupied derelict building, with a fire extinguisher and garden hose. The main damage sustained was scorching to a wooden porch.

The cause had been from a nearby rubbish fire in the wind.

Mayfield firefighters had a more unusual callout, with a boy, aged about 10, having his leg trapped in a playground pipe at Panthers Rock. However, he had been freed by the time firefighters arrived. Panthers Rock management had no comment yesterday.

It’s all Greek to me . . .

Former Ashburtonians Tony and Leanne Argyle have abandoned their comfortable life on the Gold Coast to trek through Europe.

Tony Argyle continues his tale.

W

ith the first stop on our adventure being Greece I decided it would be a good idea to learn a little of the language before I went.

I had survived there previously there with a smattering of “hello”, “good morning” and “where do I find the bathroom?” all delivered so badly that the locals immediately reverted to English to avoid five thousand years of their linguistic heritage sounding like it had been processed by a shredder on high speed.

My logic was two-fold.

Firstly, we were hosting a tour so in the interests of impressing our small group I wanted to convey the impression that I could hold my own in convivial conversation with every Tom, Dick and Yanni we would meet.

Secondly, it would better equip me to deal with some of the roguish behaviour we might encounter from those less than scrupulous people we might cross the path of during our journey.

I had previous experience of this to draw on.

Last year, while in Athens, I made the rookie mistake of falling for one of the taxi scams that run from the airport, despite being well aware of their existence.

The old saying – If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog it must be a dog – doesn’t apply to large yellow cars with meters that are driven by convivial leathery Greeks that look as though they’ve just gotten in from a hard day trawling for mackerel.

Shortly after getting on board there were several dead giveaways – his insistence on lighting several cigarettes during the journey, his less than religious adherence to keeping within his driving lane, (or even acknowledging its existence), and the fact that his taxi

meter spun like an arrivals board at an airport lounge, all had my suspicions aroused.

Despite my constant pointing out of landmarks I’d already seen to my fellow travellers, and the fact I could indicate the exact house we were stopping at as I’d stayed there before, he still insisted on trying to charge twice the normal fare for the journey.

Although I was a good six inches taller than him and he looked 105 in the shade I’ve been blessed with a physique of skinny arms and small pot belly best reserved for a World Vision famine billboard, so we both knew I was unlikely to cause him any physical harm.

I instead resorted to the internationally recognised expression of indignation and despite our lack of a common language we were able to communicate quite clearly with words like “taxi license”, “regulatory authority”, and “I’m taking your number plate” all appearing to sink in.

He left me with half his asking price and a much wider understanding of the Queen’s vocabulary, much of which he wouldn’t want to share within the vicinity of young children.

So, with plenty of motivation, I’ve recently jumped on my phone and downloaded an app that promises to equip me with enough Greek to get my face slapped, something I considered progress over getting a blank look before.

I’d had little exposure to Greek language or culture during my early years in Ashburton, other than ordering dinner from George Proto’s fish and chip shop and fielding next to Basil Moskovis in the slip cordon for the Star second grade cricket team.

Basil used to mutter something

that must have been Greek whenever the ball went past the wicketkeeper and he had to chase it, but I doubted it was anything I would want to use in a public place.

The first thing you should know about Greek is that they don’t always use the same alphabet as us.

Their native language is in a Cyrillic script (much like Russian) which means that their m looks like a small h written upside down, their r looks like a p, and their i can look like an n that’s been drawn by a five-year- old whose writing hand has just suffered a bee sting.

I decided I would stick to the

version using our alphabet to make my job easier.

I had done two years of French at Ashburton College under Dr Benefield which had left me with a vague memory of about 40 words, none of which I could make into a sentence other than “Can I rest my golf club on your toilet roll?”

Despite this, I was feeling confident that Greek could be mastered. After all, I would have several hundred Greeks to correct me during the next few weeks if they could just stop laughing long enough to do so.

So far progress has been good. I

have learned around one hundred words although struggle to recall them unless an image is presented at the same time.

Unless Athenians carry around flashcards with pictures of a church, a policeman or a ‘flat white, half strength, soy milk, one sugar’ (the wife’s order not mine), then I may struggle a little with the recall.

Never mind.

As long as I have “taxi”, “you’re wanting to charge me how much?” and the Greek word for extortion on the tip of my tongue, I will feel well equipped for the journey ahead.

Variety concert fundraiser for Tyrrell

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Dancers from Ashburton’s Life Dance Academy (LDA) have been working on a very special performance for a seriously ill Ashburton woman.

Three teams of, junior, intermediate and senior dancers will star in a special fundraiser concert for Nikki Tyrrell in two weeks’ time at the Ashburton College auditorium.

Head LDA teachers Madi Wilson and Anna Raukawa said they were honoured to be taking part and presenting dances including a piece specifically choreographed in honour of Nikki herself.

Funds raised at the Nikki’s Fight Variety Concert will help get Nikki to Cyprus to receive treatment she desperately requires for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Lyme disease.

Through the concert, a Givealittle page and a fundraising auction night later in October, her friends and family are aiming to fundraise $70,000.

“As a community dance school these events are very important to us,” Wilson said.

“Giving back to our community is at the heart of LDA. “ Other performers at the event include Ashburton musical duo ToPeace, Ashburton-born singer-

songwriter Liam Kennedy-Clark, the Phoenix Chorus choir, two Phoenix soloists, singer Samantha McArthur, highland dancers Charlotte and Brianna Sloper and bag-

piper Hamish Sloper.

Tickets for the Variety Night concert are now available from the Ashburton Trust Event Centre at $25 a head, $12 for children under

12 and free for children 3 and under.

It will be held on September 23 in the Ashburton College auditorium, starting at 6.30pm.

■ METHVEN THEATRE COMPANY

■

Encore set to entertain Theatre has been a part of life for so many people in Mid Canterbury over many years and starting next week, the Methven Theatre Company will celebrate some of those names and shows with their 75th jubilee.

The theatre company will next Wednesday night open their special show, Encore, which will take those who attend on a walk down memory lane, as a talented cast of performers pay homage to those who have spent time as part of the Methven Theatre Company and also its former identity, the Methven Choral Society.

Written by Methven businesswoman Marya Trengrove, Encore takes a look at all the things which make a theatre show work, from selecting a play right through to the performance, encapsulating the efforts of everyone on the stage and also those who work tirelessly behind the curtains.

Featuring well-known songs from shows performed in the past while also taking on a more traditional undertone as well, the show also includes some magical moments with video interviews from some of the more influential names from the thea-

tre company’s existence.

A cast of more than 30 members, with a huge backstage crew as well, Encore boasts some of the best musical and theatrical talent in the district and the team have been working hard for the past two months under the direction of Trengrove, musical director Kate Lambarth and choreographer Julia Bell.

With popular musical hits from through the decades, Encore will have those attending the four shows which are being held, tapping their feet and joining in with the cast.

The four shows will culminate

with a special gala evening on the Saturday night which will see many former names of the show scene gathering for a special get-together to reminisce over shows from years gone by before enjoying the closing night performance, which is also open to the public.

Tickets are available for $35 each, plus transaction fees, for each of the four nights from www.iticket.co.nz or by phoning 09 361 1000.

Encore opens at the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall on Wednesday, September 26 and finishes on Saturday, September 29.

OUR VIEW

Nine-year-old takes a political stand A

s we prepare to celebrate 125 years since women were granted the vote in New Zealand, across the ditch politicians have been quibbling over whether it is okay for a nineyear-old girl to take a political stand about something she believes in.

Brisbane pupil Harper Neilson recently refused to stand to sing Advance Australia Fair during her primary school’s assembly, believing the national anthem disregards the country’s indigenous history.

In an interview, she put it like this “When it says Advance Australia Fair, it means advance the white people. And when it says ‘we are young’ it completely disregards the indigenous Australians who were here before us for 50,000 years.”

Personally, if I had a nine-year-old who not only had a strong sense of what is fair and right in this world, but also had the determination and bravery to

Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

take a stand on those beliefs, I would be very proud indeed.

And it is surely a valid point to make, particularly with regard to the words “for we are young and free”.

Last year, the Australian government rejected a proposal to change this line to “in peace and harmony”, and to add a third verse to recognise indigenous history.

It was not convinced of enough support countrywide for such a change.

It is a contrast to here in New Zealand, where we sing God Defend New Zealand in both Te Reo and English.

Some Aussie politicians were not at all impressed with Harper’s stand. In fact, right-wing conservative Pauline Hanson said she wanted to give her “a kick up the backside”, and another called her a “brat”, while even former PM Tony Abbott said she should “follow the rules”.

It made good television, but seriously, to talk about a child like this in front of the nation really is a disgusting misuse of political power, and I believe these politicians have shown themselves to be of lesser maturity than the nine-yearold they are criticising.

Many Aussies, thank goodness, including sports stars and celebrities, have backed Harper, and the hashtag #ISitwithHarper is trending online.

It is, after all, important that something as iconic as an anthem is to a country’s identity, is not of the nature that it divides, but instead represents pride and is something that everyone wishes to unite behind.

Canterbury misses out on transport funding T

he Government’s new plan for transport is bad news for Canterbury.

Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country and the Government is egging them on by proposing three rounds of tax increases, as well as legislating for a regional fuel tax so it can be rolled out across New Zealand in a few short years.

This is going to see the cost of living continue to track sharply upwards.

Despite taking more money from everyday New Zealanders through these additional taxes, the Government has actually cut $5 billion from its budget for building regional roads. Instead, that money will now shift to funding trams for Auckland.

In the meantime, our region has to keep paying the fuel taxes to fund these trams, and sit and watch while the much needed highways in our area go unfunded.

These changes are very damaging for transport infrastructure around the country.

For Canterbury this means projects our communities were

in public transport and moving towards new transport technologies – all while keeping the cost of living under control.

Our Roads of National Significance policy was the cornerstone of our transport plan.

We invested $12 billion to build the first seven projects to reduce congestion, improve safety and support economic growth.

On top of this, the policy also created around 35,000 new jobs across the country.

National was committed to expanding our regional focus with our next generation of Roads of National Significance.

This would have built ten major regional highways across New Zealand, including the new Christchurch-Ashburton highway.

This was a carefully balanced plan for transport which prioritised our regions, supported our cities and didn’t require further tax increases.

We were keeping our own books in order with strong budgets that would deliver on key infrastructure for all of New

relying on are now even less likely to get built.

These include the proposed upgrade to State Highway 1 between Ashburton and Christchurch, as well as the northern motorway project north of Christchurch.

Both of these projects are sorely needed to reduce congestion, improve safety and improve productivity for businesses providing services and transporting goods through our region.

This approach of cherry picking projects in Auckland and raising taxes is in stark contrast to National’s transport plan.

While in Government we had a track record of funding major new roading projects, while also making significant investment

Zealand. Now our regions are in limbo.

With new vehicle sales having reached a record high in August, major cuts to state highway funding could not have come at a worse time.

The volume of traffic on our state highways is rapidly increasing, with New Zealanders travelling up to one billion kilometres in the last year – an increase of 5 per cent according to Infrastructure New Zealand.

Cuts to roading projects alongside a record level of car sales and an increasing use of state highways is a recipe for regional economic downturns and gridlock. Canterbury deserves better, as do the other regions around New Zealand that are missing out.

■ UNITED STATES

Death toll rises to 11 Three more people have died in North Carolina as a result of the hurricaneturned-tropical storm Florence, bringing the overall death toll to 11.

US President Donald Trump was briefed by telephone yesterday on Florence’s impact on the East Coast.

The US Marines, the Coast Guard, civilian crews and volunteers used helicopters, boats and heavy-duty vehicles to rescue scores of people trapped by Florence’s shoreline onslaught, even as North Carolina braced for what could be the next stage of the disaster: widespread, catastrophic flooding inland.

A day after blowing ashore with 145km/h winds, Florence practically parked itself over land all day long and poured on the rain. With rivers rising toward record levels, thousands of people were ordered evacuated for fear the next few days could bring the most destructive round of flooding in North Carolina history.

Nearly a metre of rain had fallen in places, and the drenching went on and on.

“I cannot overstate it: Floodwaters are rising, and if you aren’t watching for them you are risking your life,” Governor Roy Cooper said.

As of 5pm, Florence was centered about 95km west of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, inching west at 4km/h – not even as fast as a person walking. Its winds were down to 75km/h. With half of the storm still out over the Atlantic, Florence continued to collect warm ocean water and dump it on land.

In its initial onslaught along the coast, Florence buckled buildings, deluged entire communities and knocked out power to more than 900,000 homes and businesses. But the storm was shaping up as a two-part disaster, with the second, delayed stage triggered by rainwater working its way into rivers and streams.

The flash flooding could devastate communities and endanger dams, roads and bridge.

Matthew Perry

Long stay in hospital Friends star Matthew Perry has revealed he has spent three months in hospital following surgery to repair a ruptured bowel. Last month, a spokeswoman for the actor, 49, said he underwent an operation in Los Angeles and was “grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals”. On Friday, Perry tweeted to say he was still in hospital. He said: “Three months in a hospital bed. Check.” A punctured bowel can occur along any point in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach, small intestine and large intestine.

PHOTO AP Authorities ordered the immediate evacuation of up to 7500 people living within a mile of a stretch of the Cape Fear River and the Little River, about 100 miles in from the coast. The evacuation zone included part of the city of Fayetteville, population 200,000.

Officials in nearby Harnett County urged residents of about 1100 homes to clear out because the Lower Little River was rising toward record levels.

One potential road out was blocked as flooding forced the shutdown of a 26km stretch of Interstate 95, the main highway along the Eastern Seaboard.

Coast Guard helicopters were taking off

across the street to rescue stranded people from rooftops and swamped cars. Coast Guard members said that choppers had made about 50 rescues in and around New Bern and Jacksonville as of noon.

The dead included a mother and baby killed when a tree fell on a house in Wilmington, North Carolina.

South Carolina recorded its first death from the storm, with officials saying a 61-year-old woman was killed when her car hit a tree that had fallen across a highway.

Three died in one inland county, Duplin, because of water on roads and flash floods, the sheriff’s office said.

■ PHILIPPINES

Typhoon kills 12 in Philippines Typhoon Mangkhut has lashed the northern Philippines with destructive winds and heavy rain that set off landslides and destroyed homes, leaving at least 12 people dead.

The most ferocious typhoon to hit the disaster-prone Philippines this year slammed ashore yesterday in Cagayan province on the northeast tip of Luzon island.

China and the Philippines agreed to postpone a visit by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that was to start today due to the onslaught, which caused nearly 150 flights – a third of them international – to be cancelled and halted sea travel.

Presidential adviser Francis Tolentino said the 12 died mostly in landslides and in houses that were pummelled by the storm’s fierce winds and rain.

Among the dead were an infant and a two-year-old child who died with their parents after the couple refused to immediately evacuate from their high-risk community in a mountain town in Nueva Vizcaya province, Tolentino said.

He said at least two other people were missing and the death toll could climb

to at least 16 once other casualty reports were verified.

Mayor Mauricio Domogan said at least three people died and six others were missing in the mountain city of Baguio after strong winds and rain destroyed several houses and set off landslides, which also blocked roads to the popular vacation destination.

Authorities were verifying the drownings of three people, including two children who reportedly died as the typhoon approached.

About 70 men reportedly returned to their coastal village in Cagayan to check on their homes as the typhoon drew closer Friday, but Tolentino said he had received no report of the men figuring in an accident.

Mangkhut’s sustained winds weakened to 170km/h, with gusts of up to 255km/h, after it sliced northwest across Luzon before blowing out to the South China Sea, aiming at Hong Kong and elsewhere in southern China.

About 87,000 people evacuated from high-risk areas of the Philippines.

Tolentino and other officials advised

them not to return home until the danger had passed.

“It’s still a life-and-death situation,” defence secretary Delfin Lorenzana said, citing past drownings in swollen rivers after storms had passed.

Storm warnings remained in effect in 10 northern provinces, including Cagayan, which could still be lashed by devastating winds, forecasters said.

Thousands of people in the typhoon’s path had been evacuated.

At daybreak in Cagayan’s capital, Tuguegarao, Associated Press journalists saw a severely damaged public market, its roof ripped apart and wooden stalls and tarpaulin canopies in disarray.

Outside a popular shopping centre, debris was scattered everywhere and government workers cleared roads of fallen trees.

Many stores and houses were damaged but most residents remained indoors as occasional gusts sent debris flying dangerously. The Tuguegarao airport terminal was badly damaged, its roof and glass windows shattered by strong winds that also sent chairs, tables and papers flipping about inside, Lorenzana said.

Bieber secretly marries Singer Justin Bieber is reportedly a married man. People magazine reports that Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, who got engaged in July, tied the knot in front of a judge in New York City. “They went ahead and did it without listening to anyone,” a source close to the couple said. TMZ reported that the 24-year-old singer and the 21-year-old supermodel will have a ceremony in Canada next week in front of a small group of people.

Bieber and Baldwin became engaged on July 7 after having dated on and off in 2015 and 2016. The news came as a shock as Bieber had only just split from his childhood sweetheart, Selena Gomez months earlier.

Chicago’s tall towers put on a spectacular show at night.

A marvel of inspiration T

he Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruise is the one tour to rule them all. Not only are you served up a slew of prime vistas to fill your social feed, but the on-board narration is vividly brought to life by a foundation-certified expert volunteer guide.

Our unscripted and unrivalled guide was Tom, a story-telling wizard who left us spell-bound

From its hit parade of architecture, art and that electrifying skyline, Chicago is a marvel of inspiration. An art gallery on a super-sized scale, writes Mike Yardley. over the course of 90 minutes, as he unfurled his rich tapestry of bite-sized insights on the city’s grand dames.

I felt like I was a taking a crashcourse in architectural design, as we glided by all of Chicago’s

defining period specimens, from neo-classical and art deco to modernism, post-modernism, new-modernism and adaptive re-use – currently all the rage as old riverside warehouses are internally gutted and repurposed

The Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruise is a great way to see all the city has to offer.

for residential use.

Drifting under downtown Chicago’s 34 bascule bridges, it’s the blockbuster buildings and the design giants behind them, that take pole position.

Emerging from the embers of the 1871 Chicago Fire, innovation was to the fore as Chicago sought solutions to make their rapidlygrowing city more liveable. Parks and boulevards sprouted and the course of the Chicago River was reversed to stop Lake Michigan becoming so polluted.

The warehouse behemoths of Fulton House and 600 West were some of the earliest skyscrapers, before the beloved Tribune and Wrigley buildings of the mid1920s held court.

Conversations soon turned to people’s respective pet picks, and it’s the Wrigley’s white terracotta tiled neo-Renaissance splendour that stole my affections.

I was also struck by the circular towers of 1967 Marina City building, endearingly nicknamed the Corn Cobs. This 61-storey twin tower complex must have been positively futuristic upon completion. The first 15 floors are still used for car parking.

At over 90 storeys high, the Trump Tower is one of the latest cloud-piercers to flank the riverfront, a gleaming blend of brawn and grace designed by the same architects behind Dubai’s Burj El Khalifa.

In this ultimate of look-up cities, I ogled building after building including that champion of contextualism, 333 West Wacker Drive.

Opened in 1983, this building was lauded for its curved, shimmering, green-tinted façade, faithfully flowing in harmony with the river’s hue. In my hometown of Christchurch, the postquake Deloitte building has done exactly the same thing, overlooking the Avon River.

Tom remarked that the river’s distinctive green tinge is because of the algae and clay in the water.

I was also gripped by his insights on the river district’s substructure, where by many high-rise developers have had to dig down 25 metres to reach bedrock, so they can secure the foundations.

Much of the downtown district’s substrata is all “peanut and jelly”, with layer upon layer of clay. It’s the most inhospitable terrain for a forest of skyscrapers to be developed. All the more reason to marvel at the miracles of sky-high engineering, festooned with artistic flourishes.

After alighting from the head-turning cruise, I strolled down North Michigan Avenue to Millennium Park. You’d be hard pressed to find two better specimens of insatiably engaging public art than Cloud Gate and Crown Fountain.

The Chicago River is an ideal way to negotiate the huge metropolis.

High rise buildings stand like sentinels either side of the Chicago River.

Left – Sampling the Tilt at the John Hancock building.

Right – A rather different perspective of the city of Chicago.

The former is better known as The Bean, an ingenious stainless-steel elliptical sculpture, designed by Anish Kapoor. This whimsical, wondrous and reflective artwork acts like a tractorbeam for the selfie brigade, filling Instagram feeds the world over.

No matter what time of day, or the whims of the weather, Cloud Gate captures Chicago’s subtle mood shifts and skyline drama, including that great wall of buildings lining South Michigan Avenue, with unwavering finesse.

Just across the way, I was equally riveted by the video and water sculpture surrealism of Crown Fountain, which radiates a slew of local faces and spouts water from their mouths.

In the thick heat of summer, the fountain’s expansive pool is a godsend for a cool-down.

The 24-acre Millennium Park is a civic jewel, despite the lingering cloud of claims spanning corruption, bribery and cost overruns. I gazed over the glimmering stainless-steel ribbons of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, designed by Frank Gehry and instantly reminiscent of his Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. From a distance, it looks like the swirls of ribboning you attach to a gift.

Across the road from Millennium Park, I also ventured to the one-year old American Writers Museum. This little cultural gem is being showered with accolades for its engaging and interactive celebration of American writers, delving deep into their influence on American history and culture.

The children’s section is equally compelling, showcasing the likes of Where the Wild Things Are writer, Maurice Sendak.

Strolling down to Grant Park, I transported myself to Paris at the Chicago Arts Institute, which famously boasts the world’s biggest collection of Impressionist masterpieces, outside of France.

I feasted my eyes on more than 30 paintings by Claude Monet, including a number of Water Lilies; Renoir’s Two Sisters; Cézanne’s The Basket of Apples, Henri Matisse’s Bathers by a River; and Vincent van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles and Self-portrait.

Equally compelling is the Modern and Contemporary Art collection, headlined by Pablo Picasso’s Old Guitarist, a stack of works by Andy Warhol and some fine pieces by Lichtenstein.

Unmissable Chicago.

In brief Shooters miss mark New Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua wasn’t pulling any punches after suffering a record loss to England in her first match in charge.

The Ferns went down 52-39 in their Quad Series opener, their biggest ever defeat to the Roses.

Although the late injury withdrawal of Temalisi Fakahokotau had supporters questioning the Ferns’ inexperienced defensive lineup prior to tip-off, it was the ineptitude of seasoned shooters Maria Folau and Ameliaranne Ekenasio that proved most costly.

The two teams that fought out the final of last year’s Aoraki Cup rugby league competition played out a thriller in the first round of the 2018 instalment on Saturday.

The Ashburton Barbarians took on the defending champion Country Cowboys in the second game of a double-header at Ashburton’s Robilliard Park on Saturday and went down by just two points, 34-32.

It was a tough end to what was otherwise an amazing day for rugby league in Ashburton, Barbarians manager Matt Milne said.

The day began with a junior tournament featuring three newly formed Barbarians junior teams along with teams from Timaru, Christchurch and Rolleston, and ended with the Aoraki Cup double-header on

what turned out to be a beautiful spring day.

The Barbarians led early in the piece, but the Temuka-based Cowboys side came out firing in the second half.

“We had the lead at half time, then the Cowboys came out and they hit us hard and fast,” Milne said.

“We were our own worst enemy.

“We weren’t completing our sets, we were just turning the ball over and we just didn’t mount pressure on them and keep the pressure on in the second half.”

From leading at half time, the Barbarians were then down by 16 with about 20 minutes to go, and while the home side did battle back into contention, it was too late, Milne said.

“It was three minutes to go just after we scored our final try, and time just ran out.”

“We just didn’t execute things as well as we should have done, but it was a very good game – it was a fantastic game of footy.”

In the opening match of the double-header, the Chertsey Oilers went down 42-22 to the Timaru Outlaws.

Chertsey Oilers manager Deon Biggs said his team made a few too many errors and didn’t complete enough sets, but the side would look to build on the performance over the next two weeks.

The game was only Chertsey’s second for the season, with the first being a pre-season hit-out against the Barbarians the weekend prior.

Biggs said he was pleased with how the side performed, given their limited build up.

“There’s some outstanding players that have got heaps of potential to go a long way in the

game if they want to take it that far,” Biggs said.

“There’s still a lot of things to work on.

“As we get to know each other better it’s just that trust thing.

“If you’ve been together for10 weeks like rugby, or like anything, you build so much trust, but when you’ve only been together for two or three weeks it’s about learning to trust the players around you.”

The Chertsey Oilers and the Ashburton Barbarians would play this coming Saturday in round two of the Aoraki Cup at Robilliard Park, before all four teams again came together for another double header, in Timaru for round three.

The Ashburton Barbarians junior teams will also make the trip to Timaru to play in another mini-tournament to start the day off.

Paul McGregor admits St George Illawarra missed an opportunity in Saturday’s topsy-turvy one-point loss to South Sydney but insists the year has not gone to waste. McGregor refused to put the blame one any individual players after the 1312 loss, despite his his side leading 10-2 with 25 minutes to play and 12-11 just moments from fulltime.

The result capped off a tough end of the season for the Saints, who led the competition for 15 of the first 16 rounds but finished seventh before beating Brisbane in week one of the finals.

■ RUGBY

Uphill battle for Hammers

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s destiny is in its own hands, after a loss to Wanganui on Saturday dealt a massive blow to their top four aspirations in rugby’s Heartland Championship.

Wanganui won the match 3012 to maintain pole position at the top of the competition’s 2018 leaderboard, alongside King Country, while Mid Canterbury dropped from third to sixth.

But the competition was shaping up to be tight, with three other teams tied on the same points as Mid Canterbury and another two just one point back, and Mid Canterbury coach Sean Carter said it meant every result from here on in was vital.

He said a third loss would make a top four finish and a spot in the Meads Cup finals hard.

It would mean relying on other results, and that was why bonus points could prove vital come the business end.

Mid Canterbury had won two, and lost two, after four rounds and while the side picked up two bonus points in the first loss of the competition to North Otago, there were no bonus points from the defending champions on Saturday.

Playing Wanganui on home turf, at Cooks Gardens, was a tough ask for any team and the defending champion side was as tough as ever, leading 20-7 at half time, before going on to win 30-12.

Carter said Wanganui was a clinical side that played percentage rugby, and that was what had made the team so successful over the years.

“Obviously Wanganui had done their homework and their defence was really solid.

“They put us under a lot of pressure and shut us down from first receiver out, so we couldn’t really get out to our wings like we had done in previous games,” Carter said.

He said Mid Canterbury headed into the match with a game plan, and it was the right game plan, but it just wasn’t executed properly.

“We prepared really well and we wouldn’t have done anything differently when we reflect on how we prepared during the week,” Carter said.

“I think the thing was, in the first half, we didn’t employ the tactics we had put in place to counter their rush defence.

“They play a really smart style of rugby, but they are just so clinical, everything is percentage plays.”

Thirteen points behind at half time, Carter knew his side had a massive uphill battle to fight if they were to get back into it, but he knew his players were capable of if they struck quickly in the second half with a couple of early tries.

That didn’t happen, but Mid Canterbury did manage to stem the flow, with a try to Wanganui right on the final whistle blowing

Squire out for ABs Liam Squire is the latest All Black to be ruled out of the remainder of the Rugby Championship after sustaining an injury in the loss to South Africa. Squire looked to pick up a shoulder injury during the first half of the 36-34 loss, but was able to play on until he was substituted

by Patrick Tuipulotu in the 59th minute. However, the All Blacks announced yesterday Squire would miss the rest of the tournament due to a hand injury.

Aussie fans angry Talk is cheap and Wallabies coach Michael Cheika knows the only way to placate an increasingly agitated Australian rugby fanbase, after letting them down once again, is through actions on the field. The Wallabies have arrived at yet another crossroads after Saturday’s limp 23-19 defeat to Argentina – the first time Los Pumas have prevailed on Australian soil in 35 years.

The level of disgust was palpable at Cbus Super Stadium. One man was so angry his verbal tirade at players led to a physical altercation with Lukhan Tui and several other Wallabies.

Wellington hit straps The Mitre 10 Cup Premiership has officially split itself into two factions.

After Wellington jumped to the top of the ladder with a 53-12 dismantling of Counties Manukau on Saturday, four teams have separated themselves from the other three.

Wellington look set to be joined by Auckland, Canterbury and Tasman in the playoffs, while Counties Manukau will battle with Taranaki and North Harbour to stave off relegation. Counties remain in fifth place with 13 points, but fell six points behind the next best, after an impressive kicking display from Jackson Garden-Bachop orchestrated a superb Wellington offensive showing.

Early form for Carter Dan Carter has made a winning Japanese rugby debut. Carter scored 21 points, including a try, as he helped their Kobelco Steelers side to a 36-20 over champions Suntory Sungoliath in Japan’s Top League. The 2015 World Cup winner belied his 36 years and a heavily strapped right leg by playing the full 80 minutes. Carter found himself opposing an old adversary when former Wallabies five-eighth Matt Giteau came on as a substitute for Suntory.

Auks down Canterbury

Mid Canterbury’s Angus Lindsay goes high to receive a ball in the line-out during his side’s loss to Wanganui, in Wanganui, on Saturday.

PHOTO WANGANUI CHRONICLE the final score out a little.

Despite starting the day by losing Uma Tu Uga in the warm-up with a calf strain, Mid Canterbury came through the game relatively unscathed, with a few stitches above the eye of Angus Lindsay the worst of it.

In the week leading up to the match Mid Canterbury lost Jesse Houston with a hamstring injury, and Matt Bentley to illness, the latest in a string of players who had been struck down by bugs in the competition’s opening rounds.

Carter was hopeful that was the end of the bugs, with a big few weeks looming.

He said Mid Canterbury needed to take ownership of the rest of the season, because if they were to lose another one it would be a massive blow to their top four hopes.

Next up Mid Canterbury was headed to Timaru to take on third placed South Canterbury – a side which notched up a record score against East Coast on Saturday, beating East Coast 100-7.

In other results, the team sec-

ond on the ladder on points differential – King Country – notched up another win, beating Thames Valley 37-29, while the team Mid Canterbury beat last week, West Coast, just edged out Poverty Bay 31-30.

Buller’s winless season so far continued with a 61-29 loss to Wairarapa Bush, while Horowhenua-Kapiti lost to North Otago 27-24.

Mid Canterbury beat Horowhenua-Kapiti in round one, but lost to North Otago in round two by a solitary point.

Auckland is definitely a legitimate title contender in the Mitre 10 Cup, after beating reigning champions Canterbury 34-29 in Christchurch yesterday. In their first win in Christchurch since 2007, it was their fifth consecutive win in the Mitre 10 Cup. Midfielder TJ Faiane scored a hat-trick in the bonus point win, a match Auckland never trailed in, and one they were all but in control of from start to finish. Canterbury scored two late tries, including one by their replacement hooker Brodie McAlister after the hooter, to nab a couple of bonus points, but were left to rue the 80m intercept try Auckland centre Tumua Manu scored, when he latched onto a Phil Burleigh pass with 10 minutes left in the match.

In defence of Barrett

BOK SHOCK!

■ OPINION

Boks find their mojo

BY CHRIS RATTUE

A

ll power to South Africa and their inspirational captain Siya Kolisi for a stirring 36-34 victory in a gripping test match.

BUT...

What the heck were some of those All Black selections about?

It’s not the All Black players who got carried away with their invincibility.

It’s the coaches this time, and their complacency may have seeped onto the field.

Jack Goodhue made an absolute monkey, mockery or whatever description you like of Steve Hansen’s decision to leave him on the bench.

An absolute mockery.

Having just established himself as the best All Black centre by three country miles, Goodhue was needlessly benched for the more wispy charms of Anton Lienert-Brown.

This argument isn’t about winning or losing.

It’s about quality of selections, building a World Cup team.

There’s a headline somewhere about Hansen defending Beauden Barrett.

Hansen needs to defend himself.

Okay, so Barrett hit the post, but Hansen hit an air shot.

He is, for my money, the greatest All Black coach.

But it doesn’t mean he’s untouchable.

The power-packed Goodhue is a rising star full of energy, playing out of his skin, with only a year or so to get primed for the World Cup. What is the point of establishing a combination between Ryan Crotty and Anton LienertBrown?

The backline should be built around Goodhue, particularly with Sonny Bill Williams always in the casualty ward.

The straight running Goodhue was fantastic when he came on against the Boks, changed the flow, the energy.

Lienert-Brown, who has thrived playing off the bench, looked lost.

I love the way the All Blacks keep pushing the envelope attack wise, even if it does carry a risk which didn’t quite come off against the Boks this time.

Rugby needs that All Black endeavour.

But Goodhue plays the percentages so well.

He’s the perfect straight man for the wonderful chaos around him, a balancing act for Rieko Ioane’s ego, Barrett’s flights of fancy, the frantic Ben Smith, the passing parade of second five-

eighths, the ever-changing back three.

Every backline needs a selfless rock.

As for Jordie Barrett at fullback – ridiculous.

He’s not on the same planet as Ben Smith in the No 15 jersey, while a brilliant attacker like Waisake Naholo – who is also a clever turnover merchant – exits.

Jordie Barrett’s superior goalkicking wasn’t even utilised.

It was a ripper of a test match, and the emotional Springbok response to victory an antidote to what had been a relentless All Black march through opponents.

Kolisi, the first black captain of the Springboks, has achieved so much for himself and his country.

He has also endured a lot, including disgusting abuse for being in a mixed race marriage.

The Kolisi story includes the powerful friendship, from schooldays, with the outstanding Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth, two men of very different backgrounds.

Etzebeth was among the players replaced by Kolisi as captain by new coach Rassie Erasmus, after which the big forward said of Kolisi: “Can I say I love another man? Because I really

love the guy.

“It’s awesome for me to see him as captain, leading this team. I’ll be there to back him up all the way.”

Sometimes South Africa plays as if they are backing each other up, and sometimes they are like the unacquainted early arrivals trying to warm a party up.

Unlike New Zealand, they can struggle to maintain standards against lesser opposition.

But on their day watch out.

South Africa found their mojo during the game in Wellington, relying on those terrific power forwards, not overplaying their hand in the backs and defending en masse and via sharp reads.

In the finest traditions of Bryan Habana, there is nothing wrong with relying on the opportunism which helped them to victory either.

The All Blacks and South Africa are my picks to meet in the World Cup final next year.

But the Springboks are so erratic (as is the overall Rugby Championship form) that it is still hard to know if they are on a more successful track.

The most reliable factor in world rugby is the superbly marshalled skill, cohesion and commitment of the All Blacks.

Saturday night, on its own, doesn’t change that.

- NZME

Beauden Barrett has experienced once again the cruelty that test rugby can provide.

In his last test he scored four tries in a remarkable performance against Australia, but against the Springboks he missed four conversion attempts.

In the end those eight missed points were crucial, but he was defended stoutly by his coaches Steve Hansen and Ian Foster afterwards.

Jordie Barrett, his younger brother, is an accomplished goalkicker, and so is Damian McKenzie who was on the field for the fourth quarter, but Beauden kept the tee despite missing three relatively easy ones.

“Yes – it’s one of those things we left to them on the field,” said Foster when asked whether there was a discussion about changing the goalkicker after the 36-34 defeat.

“We talked about the possibility of changing.

“Beaudy I think kicked two of the first four. He hit the post with his last two, so that shows you the margins. I know that they would have discussed it … but Beaudy obviously thought he was kicking pretty well.”

“I’d add to that too,” Hansen said.

“Goalkicking is a really difficult job … Tiger Woods hits a good golf ball but now and then hits a bad one.

“It’s part of our sport. You only have to be that much out and you don’t get the results. We could sit here and say, ‘yeah, kick a couple of goals and we win the game’, but that’s not why we lost the game.”

While the coaches and skipper Kieran Read were gracious afterwards, there will be disappointment that referee Nigel Owens missed the call from his assistant in the final seconds which stated Boks halfback Faf de Klerk and No8 Warren Whiteley were offside.

Hansen, however, refused to blame Owens’ miss – which would have handed Barrett a kick straight in front to win it – or his No10’s wayward radar.

“That’s why I said … about that call that Nigel missed; that’s not why we lost the game,” Hansen said. “We lost the game because we allowed South Africa to score 36 points.

“That’s something that we can control as a team. It’s a team game and in this case I know Beauden is feeling it.

“He’ll be disappointed but he’ll come out next week and maybe kick 100 per cent. You can’t carry that bag of coal on your back all the time because it will kill you.”

Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus was on the side of the pitch when the final whistle blew.

It is easily the most significant success of his young coaching career.

“We know we could have lost that game in the last seconds so we were a bit lucky,” he said.

“No one beats New Zealand here so we feel very privileged to be one of those teams.” - NZME

Eyes firmly on the winning post

Mid Canterbury driver Johnny Morrison has it all under control has he heads down the long Methven straight with I’ldoitmyway in the Cashmere Club Trot, fifth on the card at the Mt Harding Racecourse yesterday.

PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 160918-RH-079 Grass track harness racing for the new season kicked off in sublime fashion yesterday underneath Mt Hutt for the Methven Trotting Club’s annual September meeting.

A huge crowd made their way to the Mt Harding Racecourse for the action, including a large group of more than 600 people who attended as part of the Clubs of Canterbury Race Day which sees clubs from all around the South Island sending groups of members along to enjoy the meeting.

That crowd, plus a huge crowd of general harness racing fans

who filled the grass embankment, were treated to quality grass track action throughout the day with punters being tested to the max by big even fields with some decent dividends on offer too.

The locals made the best of their knowledge early in the day with Ricky May driving two winners, Simon Adlam and Gerard O’Reilly combining for success with Turkish Trousers and then Johnny Morrison added his name to the winners’ list when he piloted I’ldoitmyway to success, beating the Michael Heenan-trained Stellar Success.

May, a former president of the

Methven club, was successful with Wainui Creek for Richard Aubrey in the second event of the day before guiding Blazin Creek to success later on for Greg and Nina Hope.

May took no chances with Wainui Creek, moving her three-wide in the back straight to the parked position. The rangy filly then produced a strong effort to win her 2400-metre mobile event.

The effort was enough to have her driver think the Bettor’s Delight filly could have this season’s better three-year-old fillies races as long-term goals.

O’Reilly has just joined the

Methven Trotting Club committee and wasted no time in making his mark with a bold and confident drive on Turkish Trousers who was purchased into the Adlam stable after beginning his career with Nigel McGrath.

Morrison made it two wins for the afternoon a little later in proceedings when he guided Gorilla Playboy to victory for North Otago trainer, Colin McKay. Not to be outdone by his brother, Leo O’Reilly continued the good day for the locals when he produced an all the way win with Sounds Lika Gem for Methven owner, Vic Lamb.

In brief Legh a big winner Melbourne-based businessman Rupert Legh experienced the kind of joy that most thoroughbred owners can only dream about at Flemington on Saturday. In the space of a golden two-hour period, Legh collected valuable black-type victories with a pair of O’Reillysired gallopers in Brutal and Grunt, as the majority owner in the pair.

Three-year-old colt Brutal maintained his unbeaten record with a tough front-running win in the Antler Luggage Plate before Grunt added the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes to an impressive resume that already includes the Gr.1 Australian Guineas from last season.

Wide run no barrier Wanganui raider She’s Poppy overcame a horror trip in transit to claim her biggest victory when she prevailed in the Gr.3 Boehringer Ingelheim 1550 at Awapuni. The lightly raced seven-year-old has raced exclusively in stakes company during her current campaign with a win first-up at Awapuni in the Listed Rangitikei Gold Cup followed by a runner-up finish on her home track in the Listed Ag Challenge Stakes in June. Following a brief let-up, she tackled the Gr.3 Winter Cup at Riccarton last month where she produced another game effort for second behind Platinum Command.

Writer back on track Gai Waterhouse says Japanesebred stayer Hush Writer is heading in the right direction after a pleasing second in a staying test at Flemington. Hush Writer made his Australian debut at Moonee Valley on September 8 and raced like a ‘dill’ according to Waterhouse when ninth in a 2020m-race won

by Trap For Fools. His racing manners were much better on Saturday at Flemington under Stephen Baster when he finished a length second to Jaameh over 2500m. “He couldn’t explode up the straight because he’d used all his petrol in the middle stages but Stephen said he relaxed much better under the circumstances of how windy it was.”

In brief

■ BAKER-FORSMAN

Team targets black type Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman’s assault on the riches of the Melbourne Spring Carnival is starting to gain momentum as witnessed by Jon Snow’s game performance at Flemington on Saturday.

The former Gr.1 ATC Derby (2400m) winner showed he is right on track for the staying features on offer over the next two months when he fought doggedly to snatch third in the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) behind impressive winner Grunt.

The Iffraaj five-year-old performed with distinction in Melbourne last spring where he captured the Gr.3 JRA Cup (2040m) at Moonee Valley, and a third placing in the Gr.1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m) before producing a creditable effort when unplaced in the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup to round out his campaign.

“I thought he was very good on Saturday as it was only his second run back and he will take a ton of improvement from it,” Baker said.

“It was an outstanding field with nine Group One winners in it, so to see him fight on so strongly was very pleasing.

“The track was also pretty firm which isn’t really to his liking, although he has pulled up well this morning so he’s definitely on the way up.”

Baker will now consider a start in the Gr.1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on September 30 for his charge, a race where he could be joined by stablemate Bonneval who kicked off her campaign with an unplaced run at Moonee Valley last weekend.

“I’m not quite sure where we will go next with Jon Snow but the Underwood at Caulfield is a likely option for him,” he said.

“Bonneval is going there as

Speed machine Prom Queen was back doing what she does best when she scorched her rivals over 1200m at Ruakaka on Saturday.

The Ken Rae and Krystal WilliamsTuhoro trained mare was making her first appearance since returning from a Brisbane winter campaign that ended in disappointment after a promising first-up run for second at Doomben. Unsighted in public since her return from Queensland, the Super Easy mare showed she had lost none of her dash as she quickly assumed control of the open contest after jumping well from an inside barrier.

- NZME

Win no. 27 for Winx She’s done it again. Champion mare Winx has made it 27 straight race wins with a commanding performance in the group one $500,000 Colgate Optic White George Main Stakes (1600m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday. The seven-year-old bay took her career earnings to almost $20 million with the win and set another stunning list of records. It was her eighth consecutive group one race win – joining Black Caviar. - NZME

Jon Snow impressed with a fine third place in the Makybe Diva Stakes on Saturday. well and I will be looking for an improved showing from her.

“I wasn’t disappointed with her race at Moonee Valley as she had only had the one trial leading in to it, so we were behind the eight ball a bit with her.

“It was a real front-runners track that day so when she got back that was really her day done.

“She finished off okay and has come on since then, so I think she will be more competitive in this one.”

Bonneval will look to defend her title in the Underwood having produced a strong performance to take out the Group One feature last season.

That victory added to Baker’s outstanding record in the feature, having also captured the prestitigious event with The Phantom (1990), Lion Tamer

(2011) and It’s A Dundeel (2013).

Baker is also looking forward to two promising three-year-olds joining their Flemington based team for the Carnival with Botti and Peaceful touching down in Melbourne on Sunday.

“It will be good to have Botti and Peaceful here as they are both nice types that we have high hopes for,” he said.

“They will join Rubira, who is already here, with the threeyear-old features as their main aims.

“Botti looks a real staying type so the goal is to get him to the Victoria Derby.

“He is a three-quarter brother to Lion Tamer who won the Derby in 2010 so his breeding and racing style suggests he can get the 2500m trip.

“You’ve got to have a shot

when you can as they are only three once.

“Rubira is also a nice staying type, so the Oaks will be her main aim while Peaceful looks more like a 1000 Guineas type of filly, so that’s the race we would like to get her to.

“The main aim is to try and pick up some Australian blacktype with both of those fillies.”

Baker also has a Melbourne Cup chance in Zacada, who will be aimed towards the A$7 million feature.

Bred and raced by dairy farmers Andrew Bryant and Dave Armstrong, in conjunction with their former Cambridge neighbours Sir Patrick and Lady Justine Hogan, the son of Zabeel is qualified for the Cup courtesy of his runner-up finish in this year’s Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m).- NZME

Tiley makes right call Pukekohe trainer Nigel Tiley’s decision to take his exciting threeyear-old Melt back to Ruakaka on Saturday paid off handsomely when she dealt to her rivals in the Cambridge Stud Northland Breeder’s Stakes. The Iffraaj filly had opened her current campaign with a hollow win over 1000m at the venue a fortnight ago. With the group one New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) as her major spring target, Tiley began tossing up as to whether the Ruakaka contest was a better option for her next run as opposed to a lengthy trip away to the group three Hawke’s Bay Breeder’s Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) at Hastings next weekend. In the end Tiley plumped for Ruakaka and Melt didn’t let him down.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Alone, you’re strong, but you can only do so much. Seek other strong people to add to your network. The first step to accelerated success is to acquire support.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Release control and let the day take you where it will. What ensues will be highly creative. You could stumble onto a path that turns out to be more of a calling.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Though the physical you is becoming, someone close is currently being magnetised to your very attractive mind. That said, remember you have nothing to prove, and sharing all you know is not advised.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Whether or not you know what you want, you are attracting it. That’s why it’s important to write down your thoughts on the subject. Try to dig deep. You’ll be surprised by what you find out about yourself.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Maybe you can’t always be around the people you admire (because some of them are dead and others are inaccessible celebrities), but you can spend time with them through studying and imagination. Even better.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Though you don’t want to cause stress by making others wait unnecessarily, the energy of rushing is also stressful. Both states are avoidable through planning, which is your expertise.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There are days when the obstacles are avoidable or easily surmountable or nonexistent. These are the smoother days, but not necessarily the better ones, when you consider that the obstacle is actually the path.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The people who operate under a specific creed will intrigue you and make you question your views. Though there is no right or wrong here, some ways of thinking are more productive than others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Nothing in the forest grows in the wrong place. Every seed finds its way to a useful purpose, whether it’s in the stomach of a squirrel or in fertile soil.

Rest assured that the natural progression is working toward the greater good.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Food for thought can be assessed for nutritive value just as food for the body can. You’ll find greater enrichment as you avoid the mental equivalent to junk food.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You don’t have to go out of your way to find or even create something beautiful today. It’s all there for you already; all you have to do is see it. Loving eyes bring normal things into stunning focus.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Spiritually driven, you’re definitely no money-grubber. However, there’s nothing wrong with your craving for certain material creature comforts or even dreaming of riches as you will do today.

BIG HITS APLENTY

Barging his way through a tackle during a junior rugby league tournament at Robilliard Park on Saturday morning was Suliasi Halaufia. Halaufia was playing for one of the Ashburton Barbarians club’s newly formed under-10 teams. The club only put the call out for players to create its first ever junior days 10 days before they were set to play, but had a great response, ending up being able to field two under-10 teams and an under-8 team. Teams from Ashburton, Rolleston, Christchurch and Timaru took part in the tournament, before the four teams in the big boys’ Aoraki Cup competition took to the field in the afternoon for a double-header.

Holden trifecta at Sandown Red Bull Holden Racing duo Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell have romped to victory in the Sandown 500, cashing in on their superior pace to lead home a Triple Eight Racing podium.

Shane van Gisbergen and codriver Earl Bamber, on his Supercars debut for Red Bull’s other combination, improved to second and boost the series leader’s championship hopes.

Veterans Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards (Autobarn Lowndes Racing) rounded out Triple Eight’s first 1-2-3 since a sprint race win at Queensland Raceway two years ago.

In a mind-numbingly dull start to the Enduro Cup, car No.1 cruised to a success that looked likely from Friday’s first practice session.

Dumbrell trashed Whincup’s

long-running lap record on his first spin around the Melbourne circuit, showing the awesome pace of their ZB Commodore.

Whincup took his own record back in qualifying, when only an overly-cautious decision to put on wet tyres cost them pole position.

That didn’t matter yesterday, when Dumbrell jumped polesitter David Reynolds’ co-driver Luke Youlden from the line.

The dynamic duo were never headed for effective control, claiming a third Sandown victory by almost seven seconds.

Whincup’s win was his fourth in the Sandown 500 while Van Gisbergen’s race-day resurgence headed off a hit to his title hopes.

The Kiwi driver was well off the pace at the Home of Horsepower until yesterday, when Bamber improved from his 11th placed

start and van Gisbergen did the rest.

“What a privilege to drive these cars with the Red Bull Holden Racing Team. They gave us some rockets today,” van Gisbergen said.

The Kiwi’s chief rival for the title, countryman Scott McLaughlin, finished fourth by holding off outside championship shot Reynolds.
