Rape charge dismissed A lack of evidence led to an Ashburton man having a charge of rape dismissed in the Timaru District Court yesterday.

Angus James Mackenzie faced one charge of rape following an incident in Ashburton back in June 2015.

The trial, which was initially set down for five days and began on Monday, ended yesterday after Judge Joanna Maze ruled there were no grounds, based on the evidence which had been presented, for a jury to convict Mackenzie of the charge.

The complainant had alleged she met Mackenzie at a house party on Taits Road.

She admitted to being very drunk and

not being able to remember large portions of the night’s events after having drunk one bottle of vodka with two of her friends.

The complainant had become separated from her friends when many of the group walked into central Ashburton and found herself alone with Mackenzie when the alleged rape took place.

In her initial interview, the complainant said was taken back to the house but that was where things “got quite blurry” due to her being very drunk.

Mackenzie took her into the bathroom, turned off the light and took off both his and her clothing.

He maintained that throughout the whole incident he believed he had consent. Mackenzie denied that there was penetration, but that a sexual act had taken place.

The complainant’s evidence was that penetration had occurred and that the act was not consensual.

In coming to her decision to dismiss the case, Judge Maze said that in order for Mackenzie to have been found guilty, the crown had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that penile penetration had occurred, and that it was without the complainant’s consent and without the defendant thinking he had reasonable grounds for consent.

■ I-SITE CLOSURES

Methven prepared to go it alone

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The people of Methven have made their position clear – an information centre will remain in town, with or without the support of Experience Mid Canterbury (EMC).

Two weeks ago the tourism organisation told staff at the Ashburton and Methven iSites that closure of both was on the books. A final decision would be made once staff had an opportunity for input.

Rather than wait until the axe fell, Methven’s Viv Barrett took action. He started a petition calling for the i-Site to remain in business and the document had attracted well over 500 signatures.

He presented it to the EMC board on Monday and hoped to hear the outcome by today.

Regardless of the result Barrett said, an information centre of some kind was key in Methven and if EMC wouldn’t run one, then the community would.

“We had a bit of a talk through what might happen with them and we got a good hearing but if they come back and say it will definitely close we might have to look at the option of opening an information centre, but not an i-Site,” he said.

Whatever the outcome, a central point for providing information about Methven and the surrounding area would not be lost, Barrett said.

“There has to be something, this place (the Heritage Centre) is the hub of the town. We’re taking this step by step but we won’t be go-

The Heritage Centre is home to the Mt Hutt Snow Desk, Methven Travel, a Methven travel agent, Methven’s art gallery and visitor attraction and the New Zealand Ski Heritage Museum and several other heritage exhibits.

EMC general manager Bruce Moffatt said that feedback from i-Site staff was still being considered and a decision on the outcome had not yet been made.

The Board met with the i-site team and members of the public to obtain their feedback on Monday.

“At this meeting, the board was provided with a significant amount of documentation to review,” Moffat said.

The board met again on Wednesday to review all the documents and feedback from the team and members of the public and was still on track to meet with the i-Site team on Tuesday.

“We are likely to be in a position to provide more information then,” he said.

Heated sleepers burst into flames

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Firefighters spent a “long, slow and tedious” six hours working in Tinwald yesterday morning, after a 40-foot shipping container of railway sleepers burst into flames.

The sleepers were undergoing heat treatment at Wilson Bulk Transport on Melcombe Street, when they ignited at around 3.30am.

Two staff members at Wilson Bulk Transport dialled 111 after

seeing the flames.

Every available firefighting appliance in the district attended the scene, along with a crew from Timaru who arrived at 8.30am.

Volunteer Firefighter Robbie Maw said the sleepers had been imported from the United States, and were being heat treated after pre-soaking in a solution.

“The temperature got too high and they just ignited,” he said.

Imported railway sleepers are usually treated for around 27 hours

at 75 degrees Celsius, as a compulsory measure to remove unwanted organisms and vermin.

Maw said all sleepers had to be removed from the container using a forklift, and dampened down thoroughly before the scene could be given the all-clear.

Minimal harm was caused by the fire.

“There was no damage, just a few scorched sleepers,” Maw said.

Firefighters finally departed the scene at around 9.30am.

Labour soars; Greens plummet in poll The Green Party has plummeted below the five per cent threshold it needs to return to Parliament while Labour has soared in the first political poll since former Green co-leader Metiria Turei stepped down.

The One News Colmar Brunton poll has the Greens on just 4 per cent while Labour has rocketed up from 24 to 37 per cent in the first

Colmar Brunton poll since Jacinda Ardern took over as leader.

The Greens are just short of the five per cent party vote needed to get over the threshold to return to Parliament.

The poll shows the change from Andrew Little to Ardern as leader has worked for Labour to recapture support. It is seven points adrift of

National which was also feeling the strain, dropping from 47 to 44 per cent.

Ardern had rocketed up to 30 per cent as preferred PM, even with National leader Bill English.

The poll was not as bad for NZ First as the Greens – it was down from 11 per cent to 10.

■ CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT COURT

Hotel Ashburton gunman jailed A masked gunman who shot two women during a horrific home invasion and robbed six Canterbury pubs and bars at gunpoint, including the Turf Bar at the Hotel Ashburton, has been jailed for 13 years, eight months with a minimum non-parole period of sixand-a-half years.

Douglas Anderson Roake, a 23-year-old who worked as a security guard was “operating in a violent fantasy world” during his violent outburst that had his family mortified, and wondering just what was behind it.

The court heard how Roake – who has no criminal history – used high-powered firearms to target licensed premises and demand cash from the tills, safes and gambling machines.

It began on March 10 this year, when he entered Christchurch’s Tavern Harewood wearing a black balaclava and wielding a pumpaction shotgun at about 10.40pm.

Roake pump-actioned the shotgun twice before telling the duty manager to put the cash from the safe and gambling machines into the bag. The duty manager put $18,982 into the bag.

Four days later, he went to The Brickworks Bar, again with a longbarrelled pump-action shotgun and demanded cash. He got away with $43,000.

On March 24 shortly before midnight, he hit Trevino’s Restaurant and Bar in Riccarton, stealing $29,708. Five days later he returned to The Brickworks Bar, blasting his way in through a locked front door, getting $12,000.

Carrying a long-barrelled SKS rifle, with its wooden stock cut off, he entered the Springston Hotel on April 6 at 10.30pm. As he fled with $10,000, he told patrons not to follow or he would murder them.

It all came to a terror-stricken crescendo on April 19.

At about 10pm, he went to a farm at Newtons Road, Rolleston where Nicola Dawson and her daughter Michaela, with her fourmonth-old son, lived in the main house.

Michaela, 27, had previously

Douglas Anderson Roake met Roake through her ex-partner.

Heavily-disguised, with a black woollen hat with the eyes cut out, Roake entered the farm carrying a long-barrelled pump-action shotgun and black sports bag containing a mallet.

Roake blasted two shots into the locked front door of the main house, where the mother and daughter had been watching TV. He told them to get on the floor and demanded money and keys to a car.

Michaela, believing she was going to be killed, refused to lie down, and tried to grab the gun.

During the struggle, his balaclava came off and she recognised Roake straight away.

Meanwhile 53-year-old Nicola ran from the room and phoned police, as well as her son who lived nearby.

Roake hit Michaela with the mallet, aiming at her head, before shooting her in the leg.

She tried to run away, and Roake was bashing her again with the mallet, when Nicola came back into the room and tried to strike him with a vase.

He swung the firearm to Nicola and he told her: “I’m going to shoot you”.

He shot her in the stomach, causing her to fall to the floor.

Her son Creighton had then showed up. Roake aimed at his head, but was out of ammunition.

Police have the entrance to the Hotel Ashburton’s Turf Bar taped off following an armed robbery on April 19.

In an emotional victim impact statement, a haunted Michaela said it “terrifies me every day that he came to kill me”.

“Having a gun held to your head is one of the scariest things in the world,” she said.

Nicola, whose husband died two years ago, said if she hadn’t tripped when Roake had shot her, her severe injuries could have been fatal.

Both women spent 12 days in hospital, undergoing surgery, and say they’ll be affected by their injuries for the rest of their lives.

After the home invasion, Roake fled to Ashburton where he held up the Turf Bar at the Hotel Ash-

burton. He fired a shot into a wall and then two more into the cash till as he tried to open it. He took $1645 in cash from the safe before fleeing to an address at the Rakaia Huts.

Police found him the following morning where he admitted the Ashburton robbery. None of the cash has been recovered.

Roake has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, formerly known as Asperger’s, and in the months leading up to the events, had been “completely obsessed” with competition bodybuilding and strongman events, defence counsel Jonathan Eaton QC said.

He was abusing testosterone supplements, which Eaton said can cause anxiety and aggression, and had been existing on energy drinks.

Judge Jane Farish said police, lawyers, family, and victims were “baffled” by his out-of-character actions. She granted him discounts from his sentence for being of previous good character, his relative youth, remorse, mental health or capacity, and entering an early plea of guilty.

She jailed him for 13 years, eight months with a minimum non-parole period of six-and-ahalf years.

■ ASHBURTON SOCIETY OF ARTS

Early Spring Show has a popular guest watercolour artist

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Society of Arts are prepped and ready to open the doors to their annual Early Spring Show tomorrow.

The new event comes hot on the heels of their popular 53rd annual exhibition at the Ashburton Art Gallery, and will run over the next five weeks.

An array of art from 14 members of the society, along with guest watercolour artist Quilliam Collister, now lines the walls of their Short Street studio.

Pieces are priced from $10 to $600 and come in all shapes, sizes and sorts.

Ashburton Society of Arts convener Ngaio McKee says the group are lucky to have North Canterbury-based Collister on board – after she met him by chance at another exhibition a few months ago.

“I saw how popular his work was and I thought ‘hey, he’d be a really good guest artist’,” she said.

Collister has practised watercolour art for over 25 years, practising, tutoring and exhibiting around the world.

“Unfortunately we had to ring him at the last minute ... but he phoned me back and said ‘yes’,” McKee said.

The Early Spring Show will be open from 10am to 3pm on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays from now until September 24.

The Ashburton Society of Arts studio is located at 53 Short Street.

Breakfast clubs’ spinoffs ‘amazing’

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Breakfast clubs for Ashburton schoolchildren are not only tackling hunger and poverty, but having “absolutely amazing” positive side-effects, say parents and teachers.

Netherby School, Ashburton Intermediate and Ashburton College are among more than 43 Canterbury schools now offering free food in the morning.

The initiative of parent Angella Otene brought the Whanau Kickstart Breakfast to Netherby School, and she says it’s about helping the next generation.

Otene wanted to make difference for children in need without singling them out from the rest of the school community. Since launching in February, her breakfast club has gone from strength to strength – extending from two days a week to three, and now involving music, dance and games.

“We’ve had so much support – not just from our sponsors, but from our community,” Otene said.

She said the positive effects of the breakfast club had been vast – providing children with fuel for concentration in classes, but also opportunities to help out, socialise, have fun and up their independence through the morning sessions.

“I’ve had teachers comment that the late kids are no longer late, and less of them are talking in class because they’re already socialised over breakfast,” she said.

“The senior kids get to help the babies ... and the kids that don’t have happy homes have an opportunity to change their mind frame and feel happy.”

But not all parents think free breakfast

is a good thing, with arguments raised on a national scale in that “breakfast clubs foster a culture of dependency” and “take responsibility away from parents”.

Otene said she had received critical comments along this line, which she’d refuted because “it’s not about the parents”.

“We can’t just sit back and let the children be hungry,” she said.

The Netherby breakfast club is sponsored by Countdown, Netherby 4 Square and House of Travel, along with Fonterra and Sanitarium who offer Weet-Bix and milk to schools nationwide through the KickStart programme.

Ashburton College also offered free hot Milos and hash browns during winter months, independently of the KickStart programme and sponsored by the Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury.

Deputy principal Helen Shore-Taylor said it had around 20 to 50 students take up the offer of the free food each day and the successful programme was now in its third year.

“There was concern about the number of students turning up with empty stomachs – either because they had no time, or they’d had a long bus ride and it had been a while since breakfast, or they didn’t want to eat … we wanted to see if we could change that.”

Ashburton Intermediate also runs a free breakfast programme, but only for select students who are given permission.

They said they believe that all students require a good breakfast prior to commencing the school day for learning and that their programme also offered students a warm space before classrooms were opened.

■ RAILWAY CROSSINGS

Pedestrians urged to tune in, not out

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Over the past five and a half years pedestrians or vehicles have been involved in 25 collisions or near misses with trains at rail crossings in the Ashburton District.

As KiwiRail marks its annual rail safety week it is also highlighting a growing area of concern, pedestrians wearing headphones who have been involved in crossing accidents.

And statistics show that Ashburton could be following that trend. In the four years from 2012 to 2015 there were no near collisions recorded with pedestrians in the district but last year there was one and with almost four months still to run two have already been recorded this year.

Last year was the worst on record for level crossing accidents and near misses in the Ashburton District – one collision with a pedestrian, one near collision with a pedestrian and five near collisions with heavy or light road vehicles, seven in all.

KiwiRail chief executive Peter Reidy says there is a worrying increase in the number of people using personal technology that appears to be causing distractions around railway tracks.

“A number of recent deaths have involved the use of headphones. These events cause an enormous amount of trauma for the victim’s friends, family, the wider community and for our people,” Reidy said.

In 2005 there were nine near misses with pedestrians at level crossings; last year there were 94 and already this year there have been 68.

TrackSafe NZ’s foundation manager Megan Drayton said three deaths at level crossings in the past 18 months had reportedly involved the use of headphones.

“People are on autopilot when they’re familiar with an environment and don’t remember to look up from their phones or remove their headphones when they approach a level crossing,” she said.

“Ask us about this smaller car that’s big enough to get more out of life!”

Bodies believed to be Fleets Police searching for Raymond and James Fleet yesterday found two bodies in the Mamaku Forest.

The uncle and nephew were reported missing on Wednesday August 9.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark van Kempen said while the bodies were yet to be formally identified, police at this stage believe they are the missing men.

Post-mortems will be conducted to help in the identification and to determine cause of death.

Police are treating the deaths as suspicious, and a scene examination will continue today.

A local store worker said the entire community had been saddened by the disappearance of the two men.

“It is sad, but it’s good for the family that they’ve been found,” she said.

“I’m just really happy for the family.”

People were quick to share their condolences with the Fleet family on social media.

With one person saying “that’s so heart breaking my love goes out to the Fleet Whanau”.

The pair mysteriously disappeared over a week ago.

James Fleet, 25, who worked as a roofer in Rotorua, was last seen

Raymond Fleet (left) and James Fleet have been missing for more than a week. last Monday night.

At around 6.30pm a man knocked on the door of his grandmother’s house, where he was living, and he went to the door.

It is understood he then left with the man, without his wallet, shoes and keys.

Raymond Fleet’s partner, Michiko Suzuki, said she spoke to Raymond by phone at 1pm last Monday when he was at his mother’s house a couple of doors away.

“I haven’t seen or heard from him since that day. His car was here and he always takes his car,” she said.

Ms Suzuki tried ringing Raymond that night but he did not answer his phone. The next day the phone went straight to answer machine.

She said it was out of character for him not to call or text.

Ms Suzuki, said she was “not doing very well”.

Volunteers from the small community in Mamaku began their own search for the missing men on Tuesday.

A close family friend sparked the search in a Facebook post on the Mamaku notice board asking for more volunteers.

“We spent hours out there today [Tuesday] looking for our

bro, but it’s a bit hard when there’s only a handful we need as many as possible tomorrow,” he said.

“Lets get together as a community and comb the bush, we have an area that has been pointed out to us by support people from both ends of the country.

“Let’s do what is logical and do it ourselves, we need more people please.”

He ended his cry for help saying “come on Mamaku let’s bring them home!”

Yesterday Bronwyn Fleet, James’ mother and Raymond’s sister, said the family really appreciated the efforts.

Earlier this week she said the last week had been “pretty rough”.

“We’re all looking after each other. We’re all here together.”

She told NZME on Saturday she had no idea where her 25-year-old son was and was mystified as to why he disappeared.

Ms Fleet said her son was a “gentle-natured boy”.

The family were close and were “always at each other’s houses”.

James had popped in last Saturday to see his younger siblings and watch TV show Game of Thrones with his mum.

Hostage siege over; woman arrested Armed police stormed a Lower Hutt house at the centre of a hostage drama yesterday.

A 25-year-old woman has been taken into custody and another woman is being treated for minor injuries.

Police said the 25-year-old was allegedly holding the other woman hostage.

Explosions went off just before armed offenders squad officers stormed the house after a 12hour siege.

A police spokeswoman said the explosion was a flashbang, used to temporarily disorient the offender so police could safely enter the flat.

Police cordoned off the Kings Crescent flats at 8pm on Wednesday, although police said there was no risk to the public.

Hutt City Mayor Ray Wallace said the police handled the drama well.

“This was a serious situation but it’s been handled well by the police. No one has been killed, which is good.”

Neighbour Duleep Dasilver said yesterday morning that police told him a hostage situation was unfolding at a set of flats inside the cordon.

OUR VIEW

All Black may face massive backlash Matt Markham

EDITOR

I

n a classic case of Australian desperation, it would appear that we haven’t heard the last of Aaron Smith’s toilet tryst.

The All Blacks No.1 halfback rose back to prominence for all the wrong reasons yesterday when Australian newspaper, The Daily Mail, published a long instalment of text messages between the World Cup winner and the woman he was seen leaving a toilet with at Christchurch Airport last year.

To question the validity of such a story, especially on what is almost the eve of the first match of the Rugby Championship where the All Blacks and the Wallabies are set to lock horns in Sydney, is perfectly understandable and there will be more than just the odd slightly annoyed Kiwi at the claims.

When the incident took place, the matter was dealt with in a very professional manner by All Blacks management and Smith.

It was dealt with correctly and the appropriate punishment was handed out to Smith who was sent home early from South Africa.

What happened was wrong.

There’s no doubt about that.

Especially from someone in a position of prominence such as Smith.

But he faced up to his punishment and admitted his wrongdoing and took it on the chin.

His partner supported him. He dealt with the demons and came back and played some very good rugby during the Lions tour and for the Highlanders during Super Rugby.

Yet here we are again faced with our No.1 halfback having to head out on to the paddock to do battle this weekend with a massive cloud hanging over his head.

Steve Hansen went to great lengths yesterday to go into bat for Smith and stated on more than one occasion that the outbreak was not going to impact on Smith’s or his side’s performance.

From a New Zealand rugby fan’s perspective, let’s hope not.

But if it does, be ready for the backlash to hit with full ferocity come Sunday morning.

Because there’s nothing quite like an All Black fan who has been scorned, especially when the person or persons responsible for the scorning happens to hail from just across the Tasman Sea.

I’ve done it and I’m sure I’ll do it again in the future, but when I do I’ll give the person on the receiving end of my blunder an apologetic wave.

Not deliberately look away or, even worse, arrogantly stare them down like I own the road.

Now my biggest driving peeve is people texting while driving, especially on the Ashburton River bridge, like the driver of a truck was doing last week.

I hope all the bosses of local trucking firms get their drivers to download this in the coming months.

When Apple releases iOS 11 this spring, users will find a new feature prompting them to activate a ‘do not disturb while driving’ mode, which will prevent any notifications from appearing on the screen while its owner is driving.

Why? To keep us from looking at our smartphones when we are supposed to be looking at the road.

If you forget to turn the feature on, the phone figures out that it is in a moving vehicle anyway, thanks to its motion sensors, GPS and WiFi systems.

Trying to unlock the phone will be purposely difficult to do while driving, but easy if you’re an innocent passenger.

The software can also ping a simple reply to anyone who messages the driver. For example, an automated “I’m driving right now and will get back to you later”. A similar Android app already exists.

Great idea, but I’m not so sure about the ‘making it difficult to unlock while driving’ part.

Because you know some idiots, like the aforementioned truck driver on the bridge, will try!

LETTERS Now here’s a handy wee gadget for surviving with teens while camping. phones, here is a handy wee gadget for those people who are camping this summer.

We plan on heading to the Rangi camping ground again this Chrissy, Maddy will be a year old and more than ready for her first adventure in a tent.

One of the big bonuses of camping there for me is the lack of cellphone coverage. But for those who need to be online but still want to get away from it all, here’s a handy wee device.

You’ve seen the wireless cellphone chargers. You leave your electronic device on a compatible electronic mat and boom! it charges almost as fast as if you plugged it in.

Very handy. But how cool/ hot is this? It is now possible to charge your phone using fire.

Seriously.

The BioLite Wood Burning CampStove combines the benefits of a lightweight backpacking stove and an off-grid power charger so you can cook a meal while charging your gadgets.

The stove is the perfect solution for both the backcountry campsite and for emergency preparedness kits.

The stove cooks meals using nothing more than twigs and contains a jack you can plug your phone into and charge your device from the heat generated within the CampStove.

How much? $US125.

How did we survive without cellphones?

■ UNITED STATES

‘Righteous action’ urged The mother of the young woman mowed down while protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville urged mourners at a memorial service yesterday to “make my child’s death worthwhile” by confronting injustice the way she did.

“They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what?

You just magnified her,” said Susan Bro, receiving a standing ovation from the hundreds who packed a downtown theatre to remember 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

Heyer’s death on Saturday – and President Donald Trump’s insistence that “both sides” bear responsibility for the violence – continued to reverberate across the country, triggering fury among many Americans and soul-searching about the state of race relations in the US. The uproar has accelerated efforts in many cities to remove symbols of the Confederacy.

Heyer was eulogised as a woman with a powerful sense of fairness. The mourners, many of them wearing purple, her favourite colour, applauded as her mother urged them to channel their anger not into violence but into “righteous action.”

Hunt, partner split

Susan Bro, mother to Heather Heyer, becomes emotional during a memorial for her daughter at the Paramount Theatre in Charlottesville, Virginia.

PHOTO AP State troopers were stationed on the surrounding streets, but the white nationalists who had vowed to show up were nowhere to be seen among the residents, clergy and tourists outside the Paramount

Theatre, just blocks from where Heyer died.

Heyer, a white legal assistant from Charlottesville, was killed and 19 others were injured when a car ploughed into counter-protesters.

Helen Hunt has allegedly split with her boyfriend of 16 years. According to a report from InTouch Weekly, the 54-yearold Oscar-winning actress – who is best known for her TV series Mad About You and the film As Good As It Gets – has ended her relationship with Matthew Carnahan, 56. “The breakup was very messy,” a source close to the actress told the publication. It was also claimed that they stayed together for as long as it did because of their daughter Makena, 13.

Matthew is best known for his shows Dirt with Courteney Cox and House Of Lies with Don Cheadle. Helen and Matthew first started dating in 2001. The insider alleged that Helen “was convinced Matthew had strayed”.

The driver of the car, James Alex Fields Jr, a 20-year-old Ohio man described as an admirer of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, was arrested and charged with murder and other offences.

Aussie justice minister denies UK citizenship Australian Justice Minister Michael Keenan has denied he is a British dual citizen, after becoming the latest figure caught up in a political saga.

Australian MPs and senators are not allowed to hold dual citizenship.

Five other Australian politicians are due to have their eligibility for office tested in court over claims they are dual citizens.

Mr Keenan said he renounced his British citizenship

in 2004 before entering parliament.

“I am an Australian citizen and I do not hold citizenship of any other country,” he tweeted.

Fairfax Media reported it took Mr Keenan two days to confirm he had renounced his citizenship. Mr Keenan accused the outlet of a “cheap grab for a headline”.

He did not release documents showing his citizenship renunciation.

However, Immigration Min-

ister Peter Dutton said Mr Keenan had “dealt with that matter” through his statements.

Mr Keenan was born in Australia but inherited British citizenship from his Durham-born father.

He is the third government minister to be swept up in the saga, after Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce and Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Matt Canavan.

Like Mr Joyce, Mr Keenan sits

in the lower House of Representatives, where Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s government has only a one-seat majority.

If any members of the government were to be ruled ineligible, it would trigger a complex process that could threaten Mr Turnbull’s hold on power.

A section of Australia’s constitution prohibiting dual citizens from holding office will be tested in the nation’s High Court next week.

Craig back as Bond Daniel Craig’s 007-era will die another day. After months of gossip and denials, Craig has confirmed he will indeed return for another James Bond movie. The yettitled film is due out November 2019.

“We’ve just been trying to figure things out,” Craig said. “I always wanted to. I needed a break.” The 49-year-old actor’s stewardship of James Bond has spanned four films — and now will go for a fifth — but it has generated enough rumours to power the kind of doomsday device Bond is usually trying to stop. Craig’s time as Bond has been distinguished.

Kiwis in dark over investments

Only 52 per cent of those surveyed knew that bonds were a type of debt.

Two thirds of people said they were confident their money would be paid back yet less than half knew the credit rating of the bond – a key which points investors to the likelihood of the debt being paid back.

There was also greater uncertainty about other features. Of those surveyed only 38 per cent knew bonds were not guaranteed.

Only 39 per cent knew bonds did not keep their original value if sold before the maturity date – the date at which the money is due to be paid back to the investor.

Gregory said investing in bonds was often associated with greater certainty and lower risk.

“But that’s not always the case.”

Gregory said when interest rates rise, as they are doing now, bond values tend to fall which may cause some conservative and default funds to have negative returns.

gins improved with the output PPI rising 5.2 per cent from a year earlier, outpacing a 4.7 per cent increase in input prices.

The recovery in global dairy prices drove the annual movement, with prices received by dairy cattle farmers jumping 53 per cent in the June quarter from a year earlier, and dairy product manufacturers’ output prices rising 35 per cent.

The annual increase in input

prices was led by dairy product manufacturers whose costs were up 42 per cent.

“In the June year, prices received by dairy cattle farmers were up 53 per cent due to a rise in farmgate milk prices, from $4.25 to $6.50 per kilo of milksolids,” Stats NZ’s Williams said.

“This was still lower than the March 2014 quarter peak, when forecast milk prices were $8.65.”

Power prices squeeze NZ producer margins New Zealand producers had their margins squeezed by rising electricity and gas prices in the June quarter as increasing prices for beef, lamb and dairy products weren’t enough to offset more expensive power.

The output producers price index, which shows the prices producers receive for their goods and services, rose 1.3 per cent in the June quarter, a smaller increase than the 1.4 per cent increase in the inputs PPI, which shows how much they pay to produce things, Statistics New Zealand said.

The outputs measure was led higher by an 8.8 per cent gain in prices received by sheep, beef cattle and grain farmers and a 6.9 per cent increase in meat and meat product manufacturing prices.

However, the price producers paid for electricity and gas supply rose 8.5 per cent, seeing an overall narrowing of margins in the quarter.

“These increases were influenced by higher prices for electricity generation, partly arising from a dry winter,” business prices manager Sarah Williams said in a statement. “Higher output prices for electricity lead to higher input costs for other industries.”

Wholesale electricity prices have spiked higher in recent months as low hydro-lake levels coincided with heavy winter demand for power.

Still, the data show annual mar-

“It is important investors are not unnecessarily surprised if that happens to their bonds in those conditions.

More than a million KiwiSaver members have a large portion of their money invested in bonds yet many aren’t aware of it.

Research by regulator the Financial Markets Authority has found a low level of awareness for bonds – a type of investment where companies and governments borrow money from investors and pay interest for the loan of that money.

The FMA says around $15 billion is in KiwiSaver conservative and default funds – much of which is invested in fixed interest investments including bonds.

But in a survey it undertook just four out of 10 KiwiSaver members knew that most funds invest in bonds.

The FMA did the research as part of Money Week, which launched on Monday and is focusing on debt this year.

Paul Gregory, head of investor capability at the FMA, said while some people invested directly in bonds most people were invested through KiwiSaver.

“We wanted to check to see whether New Zealanders realised this, and how much they knew about bonds.”

irst shown to the media and public in late 2016, the Z900 will appear in a brand new colour option for the 2018 sales season after a year of strong sales and high praise.

Already established as the ‘go-to’ bike in its sector of the naked streetfighter class, the Refined Raw Z900 uses the unique-to-Kawasaki Sugomi engineering and design philosophy to balance its forthright personality between aggressive, no-nonsense good looks matched by thorough Kawasaki engineering.

A real rider’s machine that suits both firmly established bike fans and those wishing to migrate

further up the capacity ladder, the latest colour option for the Z900 will be Candy Persimmon Red with Metallic Spark Black delivering, along with three further options, a total of four colour choices in 2018.

“The Z900 represents that most elusive of combinations, a great all-round Refined Raw motorcycle package”, commented Director of Kawasaki Motors Europe, Morihiro Ikoma.

“Sitting centrally in the Z range, the Z900 is an important bike for Kawasaki. With this new colour option it will certainly stay frontof-mind for buyers in this popular market sector.”

The 2018 Kawasaki Z900 will be available from October 2017.

arely does an authentic, Classiche certified, Ferrari F40 come to market, but an amazing example of the iconic eighties supercar will cross the auction block with Silverstone Auctions at the prestigious Salon Privé Sale on September 2.

On the 30th anniversary of the F40 and the 70th anniversary of Ferrari, the hugely desirable noncatalytic converter, non-adjustable suspension, sliding plexiglass windows Ferrari F40 will be offered with an estimate of £875,000£975,000.

The Ferrari will star in a lineup of seventy of the world’s finest

classic and sports cars scheduled to cross the auction block at Salon Privé, a glamorous Concours D’Elegance and garden party set against the backdrop of Blenheim Palace.

The first supercar to break the 200mph barrier as Ferrari fought for dominance in the performance car market in the eighties.

The stripped down 478 bhp Rosso Corsa Ferrari F40 first appeared in 1987 and immediately set the world alight. The car is equipped with a DOHC V8 engine with twin turbo chargers and is capable of a 0-60 time of just 3.8 seconds.

Comfort and class

M

azda reckons with the new and significantly changed CX-5’s bold looks, its ride and performance, that once you are behind the wheel you just want to keep on driving.

So we did, four up in the latest Limited diesel through the chaotic traffic of central Auckland, to the scenic and winding roads of Winston P’s “far North”.

The Limited of course sits at the top of the CX-5 range. The GLX is the entry level model and the GSX the mid-ranger.

All are well equipped and set up to carry five people.

There’s also three tried and tested engine options, all used by the previous model, but now with enhancements.

That’s also the case with the six-speed auto used for all, which now adapts its reactions to the drivers style.

The 2-litre 114kW/200Nm petrol engine can only be had with the front-wheel-drive versions of both the GLX and GSX. For the all-wheel-drive GSX and Limited, there’s either a 2.5-litre 140kW/251Nm petrol or 2.2-litre turbo-diesel, which “our” new (had done just five hundred kms) Limited had.

Packed up with four people and luggage, this smooth, refined diesel’s keenness to eagerly pull away from around 1100 rpm and the auto’s smooth changes meant a very easy, relaxed drive.

Yet with 420Nm of torque on hand at 2000rpm, it was still very quick to respond when asked, for overtaking and hill work.

Very good economy too, with a claimed overall figure of 6L/100kms.

Our shown 7.2L/100kms was very reasonable, given the CX-5’s newness, loads carried and roads travelled.

It was obvious Mazda have done lots, including double glazing, triple door seals and sound deadening materials, to ensure a very quite ride with an absolute minimum of engine, wind or road noise.

That was appreciated by all, as was the classy cabin, complete with its many softtouch surfaces, facings and the obvious attention to detail.

The leather-clad seats, both front and rear, proved both long distance comfortable and supportive.

With the winter-less north not living up to its name, good use was even made of the heated front seats.

Setting up my ideal driving position was easy, from which there was very good views to the outside world.

For parking, there’s front and rear sensors plus guidance from the reversing camera on the large, easy to read infotainment screen, whose other functions include the Bose sound system, sat-nav, phone etc. It’s quick and easy to use by either with the rotary controller, just behind the gear-selector, or using the screen’s touch-ability.

The other dials and controls, including those for the dual climate-air, were also easy to find and use.

I really liked the excellent heads-up display and adaptive cruise control, plus there was plenty of space, head, shoulder and leg room for we four, adult tourists.

Those in the rear enjoyed their reclining seat-backs, separate air vents and two USB

charging points.

There was plenty of storage about the cabin for stuff that accumulated on tour, as well the 455 litres of luggage space held all our gear.

Loading was easy with the powered tailgate and there no lip to lift over.

For golfers, it was wide enough for a typical sets of clubs, then if you want more space a pull of a couple of levers drops the seat-backs.

From a handling and ride point of view, my experience with the previous CX-5 was that Mazda had set it up, as much as they could possibly do for a mid-size SUV, to reflect their Zoom Zoom philosophy, and they achieved this without upsetting the ride comfort.

Well this new model, with its lower centre of gravity, revised suspension and G-vectoring control system (sharpens the steering response and the smoothness of turn in) handles, steers and rides even better!

It was definitely enjoyable to drive along the typically windy, hilly secondary roads we experienced, especially with the reassuring grip provided by the smart, ondemand all-wheel-drive system.

FINALE At the end of our trip there was unanimous agreement from all aboard that Mazda have done very well with this new CX-5 Limited. From its styling to the classy cabin whose comfort and quietness, as well as the ride were notable. While I, as the sole driver echoed these, I added added just how easy it was to drive, the diesel’s power and economy plus the always engaging handling, which at times could be enjoyed without the others noticing!

Jazzed up for 2018

T

he new-look Honda Jazz has been revealed ahead of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. As well as updates to the exterior styling and interior trim, the new Jazz will also be available with a 130 PS (96 kW) 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine for the first time in Europe.

Exterior changes align the Jazz with the latest Honda family style, incorporating the Solid Wing Face headlight signature and grille.

The front bumper is sharply sculpted, with more aggressive contours around the air vents.

At the rear, shallower grille sections are linked by a gloss black trim strip above a trapezoid lower section. Updates to the exterior are rounded off by the addition of metallic Skyride Blue as a new colour option.

Honda’s 130 PS petrol engine combines high output with low fuel consumption, and complies with stringent Euro 6 emissions standards.

It achieves fuel economy of 52.3 mpg and CO2 emissions from 124 g/km with the optional CVT automatic transmission.

The new Honda Jazz retains the exceptional versatility of the previous model, including boot space of 354 litres (up to 897 litres with the rear seats folded down) and passenger space that is unrivalled in the class. Honda’s highly practical 60:40-split Magic Seat system allows for numerous cargo configurations, with a maximum interior loading length of 2,480 mm and maximum loading height of 1,280 mm.

Standard equipment on the Jazz includes cruise control, automatic headlights and the City-Brake Active safety system. Higher grades feature a 7-inch Honda Connect infotainment system, rear-view parking camera, keyless entry and start, as well as advanced safety technologies such as Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Traffic Sign Recognition.

Doing the time warp

N

issan Motor Corporation and premium automotive brand INFINITI have unveiled a sleek, open-wheeled electric retro-roadster prototype at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

The car, called Prototype 9, is a celebration of Nissan and INFINITI’s ingenuity, artistry and craftsmanship. It represents a re-imagining of a 1940s race car with time-honoured production techniques employed to realise its retro design.

“Prototype 9 celebrates the tradition of ingenuity, craftsmanship and passion of our forebears at Nissan, on whose shoulders we stand today.

“It started as a discussion – what if INFINITI had created a race car in the 1940s?

If one were to imagine an open-wheeled INFINITI racer on the famous circuits of the era, such as Japan’s Tamagawa Speedway, what would that look like?

“The sketches were stunning and the idea so compelling that we had to produce a prototype. As other departments became aware of this, they volunteered their time to create a working vehicle.”

Alfonso Albaisa, Senior Vice President, Global Design Prototype 9 is emblematic of INFINITI’s entrepreneurial spirit and passion for stunning design. From humble beginnings as a sketch, to the dynamic example presented at Pebble Beach, Prototype 9 has been brought to life as an after-hours endeavour by a passionate and enterprising team of employees from across the Nissan Motor Corporation.

The car is powered by a prototype electric motor and battery from Nissan’s Advanced Powertrain Department. This nod to the future contrasts with the traditional materials and techniques applied for the Prototype 9’s manufacture, including panels hand-beaten by a team of Takumi – Nissan Motor Corporation’s master craftspeople.

Prototype 9 was inspired by an emerging era of Japanese motorsport. The custom-

built Prince R380, which also makes its public debut at the 2017 Concours d’Elegance, broke several land speed records in 1965 before taking overall victory at the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix.

Prince Motor Company is considered to be Japan’s original builder of premium automobiles, and its legacy can be traced to INFINITI Motor Company and its current model line. The R380 in Pebble Beach is the actual Japanese Grand Prix-winning car, believed to be the only surviving R380.

Where existing and future INFINITI models adhere to the company’s Q and QX nomenclature, Prototype 9 represents

“

The starting point for bringing Prototype 9 to life was a conceptual sketch: an interpretation of an INFINITI race car, inspired by roadsters and aircraft of the era yet moulded in new materials and advanced technology. From this moment Prototype 9’s transformation from sketch to reality was inevitable.

Albaisa created a sketch of the vehicle, with sleek lines, and aeronauticallyinspired bodywork crafted in bare sheet metal. Initially shared only with close colleagues, the idea soon spread among INFINITI’s design team members – with a number enthusiastically calling for the

Open-wheeled racers of the age were beautiful machines, elegant and powerful and with a wonderful purity of purpose.

something different. Echoing the company’s origins, the figure 9 is pronounced ‘kyuu’ in Japanese – similar to the anglicized pronunciation of the letter Q’, which is used for all of the company’s production cars.

Prototype 9: designers imagine, ‘what if…?’

“We discussed the idea of chancing upon an unrecognised race car, hidden away for decades in a barn, deep in the Japanese countryside. We wanted to explore what this looked like, what it would have been made of.

“Open-wheeled racers of the age were beautiful machines, elegant and powerful and with a wonderful purity of purpose.

It’s an automotive fantasy, but the notion captured our imaginations enough to put pencil to paper.”

Alfonso Albaisa, Senior Vice President, Global Design

vehicle to be brought to life. The sketch triggered a domino effect – each person who saw it felt it deserved more attention, and soon there was a burgeoning desire within INFINITI to take it beyond the drawing board.

More designers at the INFINITI Design Studio in Atsugi, Japan, began making their own detail contributions – the shape, design and materials that could feature in the cockpit, for example. Chasing a passion for beautiful vehicle design, the team moved to bring the sketch into the physical world.

The vehicle was transformed from a daring idea into scale design studies in clay. Full-size models were soon formed.

Although still a secretive ‘passion project’ at this point, word seeped into other parts of INFINITI Motor Company and throughout its parent company, the Nissan Motor Corporation. People noticed something a little different was taking shape at the centre.

A team of Takumi – Nissan Motor Corporation’s master craftspeople – was gathered to create the motorsport – and aeronautically-inspired racer.

Finished in a bare sheet-metal skin, Prototype 9 is the result of countless hours of careful construction. The designs of the brand’s contemporary road cars are characterised by deep-stamping production methods, which enable the creation of sharply defined lines and smooth body surfaces. Far from production lines, this out-of-hours project required similarly technical yet more traditional crafting methods.

In every other respect, the car is unashamedly inspired by retro aeronautical designs. Prototype 9 is defined by its smooth, aerodynamic surfaces, long bonnet and short overhangs, an exposed cockpit, and open-wheeled layout. 19-inch centre-locking wire-spoke wheels at each corner are even wrapped in period crossply competition tyres.

In a cabin that features no distractions from the road ahead, the steering wheel rotates around a fixed central hub, housing the driver’s instrument gauges.

The hub itself finished in turned aluminium, an effect found on aircraft throughout the first half of the 20th century. Like the machines that inspired its design, the effect has been completed by hand.

A team of powertrain engineers brought their own proposal: to equip the car with a next-generation EV powertrain. The Prototype 9 is the first INFINITI to be powered by a new EV powertrain – a 30 kWh high-voltage battery paired with a prototype electric motor, one not yet seen on a production vehicle.

The motor produces 120 kW (148 hp) and 320 Nm (236 lb ft) of torque and driving the rear wheels, via single-speed transmission. Prototype 9 has a top speed of 170 kph (105.6 mph), and sprints from 0-to-100 kph (0-to-62 mph) in 5.5 seconds, with a maximum EV range of 20 minutes under heavy track use.

X2 in disguise G erman carmakers BMW have released pictures of the upcoming addition to their SUV X range – the X2.

Set to go up against the likes of the Auidi Q2, Mini Countryman and Mercedes’ recently update GLA – the X2 crossover will target young and urban SUV buyers.

First revealed as a concept at the Paris Motor Show last year, the production X2 will share the same underpinnings as the new Mini Countryman and BMW series 2 Active Tourer.

The aggressive front inlets, inverted kidney grille and wide bumpers have been carried over from the concept, while the spy shots seem to reveal a more user friendly design for the driver and rear passengers with a taller roof accommodating bigger windows.

As the model name suggests, the X2

will sit between the X1 and X3 in the company’s model range.

BMW is expected to release more details on the new X2 model at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

Global sales are not expect to commence until 2018.

The new X2 is based on BMW’s UKL structure platform for transversemounted engines powering the front or all the four wheels. The shape of the low-slung SUV is an indication that the car may target urban users who may use it for some occasional trail drives as well. However, the outright off-roading doesn’t seem its forte.

Propelling the 2018 X2 may be the same four-cylinder turbocharged motors – in different states of tune – which powers the X1. Also, an M Performance version with close to 300 horses can be expected.

Electric Mini confirmed

B

MW will make the electric version of its Mini compact cars at its factory in Oxford, England, a decision that comes at a time when automakers are scrutinising investment plans due to Britain’s impending departure from

the European Union. BMW AG said the battery-powered Mini would be based on the three-door model. The electric drivetrain is to be made in Germany.

This fully electric car will go into production in 2019, increasing the choice of Mini powertrains to

include petrol and diesel internal combustion engines, a plug-in hybrid and a battery electric vehicle.

BMW is pushing to include more electric vehicles in its lineup by offering hybrid and battery-only models of existing diesel and gasoline cars.

■ ADDINGTON

The front runner DeFilippi set to What’s on:

join elite club Christchurch reinsman Colin DeFilippi is on the verge of a significant milestone and there is a realistic chance he might finally bring it up at Addington tonight.

The long-time horseman is sitting on 1998 New Zealand driving wins, just two away from joining the elite 2000 club populated by only five other men.

But it’s been a slow stagger to the line for the popular driver – he has only driven two winners in the past three-and-a-half months.

DeFilippi, who drove his first winner in 1974, says he knows the ‘double ton’ will come sooner or later, but he’s fed up with all the waiting.

“I’m getting sick of not bloody getting there, to be honest,” he said with a laugh.

“I used to drive two winners a day and not even think about it, now I can’t even drive one in two months!”

There is light at the end of the tunnel, though, and he hopes he reaches it this week.

“It’s one of the better books I’ve had in quite a while,” he said optimistically.

He makes that familiar drive to Addington tonight with three or four decent chances, one of the better ones on paper being his own charge, Izmok, in the first on the card.

The maiden trotter is a half-brother to former Horse of the Year Stent and has racked up six straight placings.

“I thought he was a wee bit tender over the back last week so I had Tommy Behrns (chiropractor) treat him.

“But then it rained all weekend, and Monday, and I had to lunge him instead.

“He’s missed a bit of work, but that will be the case for a lot of them, I suppose.

“He’s not 100 per cent, but I’d like to think he’s better than most of them and that makes him a good chance without being a certainty.”

He pairs up with Bruce Negus – whom he met great success with driving Courage Under Fire 18 years ago – in the second of the card, driving Living Legend.

He won an amateur drivers’ race two back and had excuses after getting back last week, so should be in with a chance from the two draw.

“If he’d stuck to the fence last week he might have run in the money.”

“He’s not a very nice horse to drive, but he has hit form and is a chance from the draw.”

Friday: Addington and Wanganui Greyhounds. Addington Harness.

Taupo Gallops.

Saturday: Otaki Maori, Tauherenikau & Te Aroha Gallops Sunday: Manakau Greyhounds. Kurow Harness. Wanganui Races.

Local luck: Look for a big weekend for Leo O’Reilly. He has two chances tonight at Addington in Articulight (Race 2) and his own horse, Bank Raider (Race 3). It’s at Oamaru on Sunday where he could shine though. James Dean will look to make it three wins in a row in the Kurow Cup (Race 8) while Jerry Garcia (Race 5) and Sounds Like A Gem (Race 10) are also solid eachway prospects.

Punting Pool Colin DeFilippi is sitting on 1998 wins.

Don Pierre is racing in career-best form for trainer Sam Smolenski, and would only need to run up to his recent performances to be a big show in the third on the card.

“He’s a good, tough horse and one you can put in the race.

“I’m looking forward to driving him and he’s probably my best chance on the night.”

Sharnae is fresh-up for a month after galloping twice at Addington last time out, but her run at Timaru the start before was very good and, crucially, she has the ace draw over the sprint trip this week.

“Draw one is a help for her and Brad’s (Mowbray) team is flying at present.”

Veteran trotter Valmagne also has the ace draw for a mobile sprint in the night’s feature race, a Free For All, but he looks up against it taking on the exciting Ronald J. “He seems to go best when racing week after week so after a let-up I’d be surprised if he figured here.”

Rounding out the night for DeFilippi is the Robbie Holmes-trained Bohannan, who was a tough winner on this track last time, and looks a very progressive type.

“Robbie hasn’t said anything yet but I did watch his tapes and he looks like a horse with potential.”

Other members of the 2000-win club are Tony Herlihy, Maurice McKendry, Ricky May, David Butcher and Dexter Dunn, who only achieved the feat last month.

Starting Pool: $100.

Of everything going around this weekend, Hypervelocity in Race 6 at Kurow on Sunday looks the best of good things. Meets a massive drop in class from recent racing and should

be too powerful with Nathan Purdon in the sulky. A great bet. We will invest $20 to win and hope to kick things off in top fashion.

Who am I: I was an outstanding trotter of my time who hailed from Mid Canterbury.

All totalled I won 17 of my 54 starts for more than $200,000 in stakes, including a win in the prestigious 1998 Dominion Handicap at Addington.

My trainer, known best for his blue overalls and incredible stories is still training to this day and the guy who sat behind me most of the time is still regarded as one of the best in the business.

Star trialist: From the Chertsey trials at Ashburton on Wednesday keep an eye out for the Ken Ford-trained Honeys Son. A three-year-old colt with some impeccable breeding he’s got all the makings of a horse to follow.

He won by 10 and a half lengths on Wednesday and finished more than 10 seconds under the required qualifying time. That’s promising.

From the files: Local lad, Daniel Stackhouse gets Villefranche home to win the 2011 Ashburton Autumn Cup. In a somewhat local quinella, the ever-consistent, Dr Dee Bee is pictured on the inside finishing second for Jan Hay under the riding of the late Ashlee Mundy. Villefranche was trained by Shane Kennedy at Riccarton and won eight of his 43 career starts. Stackhouse is now enjoying a successful career riding in Australia.

WHO AM I ANSWER: Cedar Fella.

In brief NZ Cup finalised Nominations closed yesterday for the biggest race in each gait on the calendar – the New Zealand Trotting Cup and the Dominion Handicap, both held at Addington in Cup Week, The Cup attracted the same number of entrants as last year – 29 – with former Kiwi Tiger Tara, a runner-up behind Lazarus in the 2016 edition, the only Australiantrained runner nominated. Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen have entered seven horses while Robert Dunn has entered five. Monbet heads the Dominion nominations and the two most notable names missing are Rowe Cup winner Temporale and star-on-the-rise Ronald J. His trainer, Paul Nairn, does have five nominated though the most of anyone.

Gold Trail beckons Another bold showing at Taupo will confirm Astor’s first crack at black type. The lightly-raced Iffraaj filly broke her maiden in fine style last time out and she will bid for further success in today’s New Zealand Bloodstock Insurance Pearl Series Race. “She’s looking good and we’re really pleased with her,” trainer Danica Guy said. “It was a heavy and testing track at Hawke’s Bay and she didn’t enjoy it, but she

got through it to get the job done.

She’s in a really good space at the moment and there are a couple of other nice fillies in the race so we’ll get a good line on where we’re at.

It’s a nice option for her.” - NZME

Chance a fine thing Spring Cup hope Chance To Dance is making sound progress toward his seasonal debut. The Teofilo eight-year-old, trained by Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards for Fortuna Syndications, galloped well at Te Rapa on Thursday morning over 1000m ahead of a trial at Avondale next Tuesday.

“This morning’s gallop was his first serious piece of work since returning from his spell,” Fortuna director John Galvin said. “He has put on over 40kgs of weight since his run in the Sydney Cup and has not put a foot wrong in his preparation to date.

“After two trials, he will resume

over 1600 metres and then head to the Livamol.”

- NZME

Waiting for the weather Matamata trainer Danica Guy is marking time with the smart sprinter-miler Snapshot. “I’m just waiting for the good tracks for him,” she said. “He’s going really well and I took him to Taupo the other day for a gallop, but he just doesn’t enjoy wet ground.” Partowned by former All Black captain Richie McCaw, Snapshot has won six of his 11 starts and last raced when he finished a close-up eighth in the Listed Newmarket Handicap at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. - NZME

Mime has an edge Andrew Forsman finds it hard to split the stable’s runners in Saturday’s Group Two feature at Te Rapa with the weather likely to have the final say. With Murray

Baker, he will be represented by the resuming duo of Coldplay and Mime in the Lisa Chittick Foxbridge Plate.

Forsman said the 1200 metres is likely to be on the short side for the pair, but the wet track would be more in Mime’s favour. - NZME

Placings not enough Dexter Dunn did his best to stay in contention at the World Drivers Championship in Canada with three seconds yesterday, but is now virtually out of the running to defend his 2015 title. The drivers made their way to the Hippodrome halfmile circuit in Quebec for heats and Dunn, who started the day in fifth place, was looking to make a move and get himself right in contention for the final day. Dunn has now recorded seven seconds across the 17 heats, but it looks like being in vain. It was business as usual for Mark Purdon, who sits dead last of the 11 drivers.

McKenzie, Squire to start

End in sight for Kaino?

By anGelo risso

By GreGor Paul

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has sprung a major surprise ahead of the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship opener against Australia in Sydney, opting for young gun Damian McKenzie at fullback.

The 22-year-old livewire, who enjoyed a stellar Super Rugby campaign with the Chiefs, is the main beneficiary of a backline reshuffle.

He will play in the black No.15 jumper for just the second time, while incumbent fullback Ben Smith moves onto the right edge.

Rieko Ioane, who missed July’s third British and Irish Lions test through illness, has been named ahead of Waisake Naholo and Israel Dagg on the other wing.

Ryan Crotty and the returning Sonny Bill Williams are in midfield.

“We just think that for this game in particular, Damian has been playing really well and it gives us a better-balanced back three, aerially – and Rieko as we know is really strong too,” Hansen said.

“Our midfield combination is a one-two-three hit.

“We think the combination of Sonny and Crotty is the best one, they complement each other well.”

With star hooker Dane Coles ruled out earlier this week, the All Blacks forward line takes on a similar complexion to that seen against the Lions, with four of the tight five coming from the Crusaders.

However, in another surprise, bruising Highlanders loose for-

Damian McKenzie gets the nod at fullback against the Wallabies tomorrow night. ward Liam Squire has earned the nod at blindside ahead of 81-test veteran Jerome Kaino.

The two-time Rugby World Cup winner has been left out altogether.

With several of his All Blacks regulars leaving Kiwi shores post-Lions, Hansen has also been forced to make changes to his bench.

Blues prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi will replace ex-teammate Charlie Faumuina as the All Blacks’ back-up tighthead, while Lima Sopoaga has been rewarded for his patience, named as reserve

five-eighth behind Beauden Barrett.

Hansen said his side were determined to hang onto the Bledisloe, having won the transTasman trophy 14 years on the bounce.

“It’s the biggest trophy we play for outside of the World Cup and it means a lot to the group – it’s part of who are we, and our legacy is about honouring, respecting and enhancing the jersey,” Hansen said.

“We’ve held this trophy for a while, and no one wants to be part of giving it up.”

Reserves: Nathan Harris, Wyatt Crockett, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Luke Romano, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Lima Sopoaga, Anton Lienert-Brown.

Glasgow boss Rennie not thinking of ABs Former Chiefs boss and new Glasgow Warriors coach Dave Rennie insists his move to the Scottish Pro14 side is all about learning, and has nothing to do with a future All Blacks coaching job.

After a glittering six-year stint in the Waikato, yielding two Super Rugby titles, Rennie will

coach the Warriors in this year’s expanded Pro14 competition.

He told Scottish reporters yesterday that his move was motivated by the chance to enjoy a new experience and style of rugby.

And while some have touted Rennie as the man to take over from Steve Hansen after the 2019

Rugby World Cup, he wasn’t having a bar of it.

“I’m not coming here to think I’ll position myself for an All Blacks role. Who knows? Steve might stay there for another couple World Cups,” Rennie said.

“I saw this as a great opportunity for my wife and I, a great opportunity to grow. It’s refereed

differently and it’s almost a different game at times.”

Rennie has been tasked with taking the Warriors back to the top of the Pro14, with the Glaswegians last winning the competition in 2014-15. He takes over from Gregor Townsend, who has been promoted to the Scotland test job.

Former league star debuts for Wallabies

Curtis Rona

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has named former NRL standout Curtis Rona to debut in tomorrow night’s Bledisloe Cup opener at ANZ Stadium in Sydney.

Rona, who played for the Western Force in his first full season of Super Rugby, will line up on the left wing with Dane Haylett-Petty succumbing to a bicep injury.

The opening Bledisloe clash also sees the return of Kurtley Beale, who will pull on the gold jersey for the first time since the

2015 Rugby World Cup Final.

Surprisingly, Saturday night’s clash will be the first time that Beale will wear the number 12 jersey at test level.

The Wallabies have also never started a test with a backline featuring Beale, flyhalf Bernard Foley and fullback Israel Folau.

Beale will partner Queenslander Samu Kerevi in the centres after the latter missed the June Test Series with an ankle injury.

Sean McMahon will also make his return to the test arena after

a wrist injury left him sidelined during the mid-year internationals.

Wallabies: Israel Folau, Henry Speight, Samu Kerevi, Kurtley Beale, Curtis Rona, Bernard Foley, Will Genia, Sean McMahon, Michael Hooper (capt), Ned Hanigan, Adam Coleman, Rory Arnold, Allan Ala’alatoa, Stephen Moore, Scott Sio. Reserves: Tatafu Polota-Nau, Tom Robertson, Sekope Kepu, Rob Simmons, Lopeti Timani, Nick Phipps, Reece Hodge.

he selection of Damian McKenzie at fullback will instinctively feel to many to be the big surprise in the All Blacks team to play the opening Bledisloe.

But really, the point of interest is no Jerome Kaino at blindside.

That’s a selection that takes a bit longer to get the head around and one that has perhaps more significance longer term.

McKenzie’s inclusion is relatively easy to understand. Ben Smith is going on sabbatical and Jordie Barrett is out for the season.

So there are seven tests where the All Blacks are going to be without Smith and Barrett and be forced to use either McKenzie or David Havili at fullback.

The logic of playing McKenzie now is that he can be guided through the test by Smith and build a little more experience and confidence. He’s also brave and competent under the high ball, brings back-up goal-kicking and has been in compelling form.

There’s also the fact that Israel Dagg had a big workload through the Lions series and then with the Crusaders, so shifting Smith to the wing means the All Blacks can have two men in their back three who are kick and chase players. with one power wing in Rieko Ioane.

But why no Kaino is harder to stack up. He definitely hasn’t been overworked in recent weeks. He had a hit out in the Game of Three Halves, which was his first game since the Blues were humiliated by the Sunwolves in mid-July.

Kaino is short of football and desperate for more having proven over the years that he responds well to a heavy workload.

His non-inclusion, therefore, hints at a few things. The first is that the coaches are maybe a little concerned about his tackling technique in this zero tolerance world around striking the head. Kaino was yellow carded against the Lions and again for the Blues and admitted that he’s accepted the need to change his tackle height.

The selectors may also have questioned whether they got enough out of Kaino during the series. He made a number of dominant tackles and carried with his usual effectiveness. But did impose himself for long enough periods and bring the consistency of energy that the All Blacks have every right to expect from their blindside.

Maybe the coaching panel came out of the Lions series review undecided about Kaino’s overall contribution but feel that it wouldn’t do any harm for the veteran to be in the stands in Sydney, as a means to ask himself how strong his desire is to still be an All Black. The sight of Squire wearing that No 6 may trigger something carnal within Kaino – reconnect with his inner beast.

At 34, he knows he doesn’t have a huge amount of time left and that the coaches have to be preparing for the future. But he probably didn’t feel that process was going to begin this week.

Colts prove rugby’s depth

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

The future of Mid Canterbury’s rugby is looking bright if the Colts side is anything to go by.

The squad took to the paddock on Tuesday night, taking on the Ellesmere Development squad, and were able to pick up the win 15-5 at West Melton.

“It was a close game,” said cocoach Kyle Gray.

“It was a different side to who we played earlier on.”

After losing to the Ellesmere Colts in Kirwee in early July, he said the main focus had been on continuity, operating more as a team and improving on the defensive end.

The side now has a long roadtrip ahead of them to Wanaka to face the Otago Sassenachs on Saturday.

“It will be a massive step up for us.

“They will be a lot better side with a lot better skills and it will be a challenge,” he said.

Gray, who is coaching along-

side seasoned Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft, said he believes having the Colts team alongside the A squad is a great sign for the development of the game in the region.

“The Colts are exciting to coach but they also have their challenges, but that is like any other rugby team,” he said.

Big names lining up for Mitre 10 Cup teams Several former All Blacks will return to the Mitre 10 Cup this weekend.

In the most notable returnees to the provincial tournament, Malakai Fekitoa will make his long-awaited return to Auckland colours, while fellow former All

Black Zac Guilford will also end his Mitre 10 Cup absence.

Fekitoa has been named to start for the blue and whites in their Mitre 10 Cup season opener against Counties Manukau on Saturday, having not played for Auckland since 2013.

Fellow unwanted All Blacks Patrick Tuipulotu and George Moala are also turning out for Auckland this season, with Tuipulotu named captain.

Counties have named Stephen Donald at second-five for the clash in Pukekohe, with Baden

Kerr starting at 10. Halfback Augustine Pulu will captain the Steelers.

Also making his return to the Mitre 10 Premiership is Guilford, who will turn out at fullback for Waikato when they take on Taranaki.

Football worth the wait and the price T

here is nothing like the special feeling of a something coming back into your life.

No, I am not talking about a bacon and egg mayo roll from a certain café in town, but the English Premier League.

One of the greatest leagues in the world for any sport, let alone football, kicked back into action last weekend.

It was a joyous occasion to gather with friends, eat fast food and get barely any sleep.

However, being a football fan in New Zealand is not easy.

Logistically, watching the games is an absolute nightmare.

Unfortunately, a few years ago, the delightful monopolydriven Sky did not re-buy the rights to broadcast the Premier League.

It left football fans in a tough place, having to stream the first season through something called the Premier League Pass, or access it through illegal streams.

Recently, Sky has buddied up with beIN Sports to offer a lot of football all the time, which is quite good.

(They even have an online streaming service, which is great if you want to watch football while unloading the dishwasher or using the bathroom).

Jaime Pitt-MacKay SPORTS REPORTER

This has left only two small issues.

One, the cost. It is something like an extra $17.99 a month to sign up for the service.

That’s not too bad, but I can imagine if you are forking out however many dollars and a firstborn child to have a Sky Sports

subscription, it might be a small whack in the face.

So you’ve got access to the football, and you are all ready to go, and now you face the real test.

Do you stay up till 2am to watch your favourite team play?

Or set an alarm and hope you have the mental fortitude to not hit stop on the alarm when it goes.

It is a tough life, especially when your team loses, but when I wandered into work on Sunday, I was tired, but still delighted.

The opening week has set up months of excitement, and I just can’t wait.

But the playmaker promises longsuffering fans the Warriors are determined to achieve “something special” despite last Sunday’s loss to Canberra extending their finals drought. Johnson confirmed he would miss tonight’s clash with South Sydney and would return from a knee injury next week against Manly.

Dragons injury-hit

Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet insists Liverpool know only one way to play and will not compromise their attacking football to lessen the defensive risks.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has drilled into his side the importance of a high-tempo, aggressive style which commits players forward in significant numbers in an attempt to overload opponents.

It worked brilliantly for the first half of last season when they blew away most teams on their way to topping the Premier League table in early November, but they ran out of steam at the turn of the year as teams worked out a game plan to frustrate them.

Already this campaign they have conceded four times in two matches, including late goals in both which could prove costly.

An equaliser at Watford robbed them of three points and a consolation for Hoffenheim gave the Bundesliga side hope of overturning a 2-1 deficit in next week’s Champions League playoff second leg at Anfield.

Liverpool were stung by Mark Uth’s 87th-minute strike in the Rhein-Neckar-Arena when they should have been looking to close out a victory with a clean sheet but Mignolet, the man who is left most exposed by the team’s approach, accepts that is the way it has to be.

“We can only play one way and that is forward,” he said.

“We scored two goals away

“We knew that we can always score. We have so much style up front.

“We have the qualities and our natural game will be attacking, we know we have to fill that in

with a really defensive spirit.”

Notwithstanding that, the Belgium international knows there are weaknesses in their game which have to be addressed.

The season is not yet a week old and already Liverpool are being criticised for the defensive frailties – primarily but not exclu-

sively set-pieces – which derailed their unlikely title challenge just a few months ago.

However, Carrick’s elevation has not guaranteed him minutes, having been an unused substitute in the UEFA Super Cup de-

Manly’s worst defensive month in 12 years is only papering over a bigger issue of attacking discipline at the club, according to captain Daly Cherry-Evans. The Sea Eagles have conceded a concerning 140 points in the past four matches – the most in the club’s history since the end of the 2005 NRL season.

The form slump has seen them drop from third to seventh on the ladder, with a 50-point worse defensive record than any other team in the top eight. But CherryEvans said there was a bigger issue at play, with half of the 24 tries conceded in the past month having come in the direct aftermath of their own incomplete sets. - AAP

They have two more home games – against Penrith and Newcastle – before finishing the minor round in a tough away trip to the likely minor premiers, Melbourne Storm.

Frosty red hot on race wins

By Ben McKay Mark Winterbottom admits he’s running out of time to avoid a career Supercars low.

The 2015 series winner is running sixth in the championship and while that’s not ideal, it’s not what’s bugging him the most about this year’s campaign.

It’s the lack of podium time.

Winterbottom heads to Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend with a best effort this year of second place in the Sunday race on Phillip Island.

And that’s just not good enough.

“I want race wins,” he said.

“I haven’t been through a season without having a race win. That’s the priority.”

Not since joining Ford Performance Racing in 2006 has ‘Frosty’ failed to spray champagne from the top step on the dias at least once in a year.

With 10 races to go in the season, Winterbottom needs help from his engineers to make it happen.

The No.5 Falcon has struggled to avoid technical issues through the opening rounds, leaving insufficient time for fine tuning.

“I initially had braking issues,” Winterbottom said.

“All our first three or four rounds, our setups meant nothing. Because all I had was inside locking – the red light was on – scorching tyres.

“You get told it’s the tyre but then you find the brake and it’s not the tyre. It’s always something.

“When the car’s hooked up, its very very quick. When you get it wrong it spits you out very quickly.”

Mark Winterbottom is suffering from a shortage of Supercars podiums. the return to form of stablemate Chaz Mostert has Winterbottom in the unheard-of position of the fourth best Falcon in the Supercars grid.

It’s not a position he’s used to but one he thinks he can improve before season’s end.

“Other guys are damn quick at the moment. The 17 with Scotty McLaughlin is very fast,” he said.

“The dream of catching him is not what you’re looking at.

“I’m not looking at the championship. I need a car that is going to do what I want it to do, week in, week out.

“That’s been the hardest thing this year.

Even (co-driver) Dean Canto has been hopping out saying ‘what are you giving me?’

“We need to come up with something pretty quick, have a weekend and have a good endurance campaign.

“I know when it all clicks we’ll win races.”

Puzzles

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

Friday, August 18, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re not interested in being a decent communicator or adequate leader. You want to be great. That’s why you’ll work out solutions before you point out the problem.

Why complain if you can’t make it better?

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The research suggests that for many people, talking about themselves can be more rewarding than food or money.

Giving someone the opportunity to do this is thereby a very valuable gift.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When you feel blue, you’re apt to behave in ways to reinforce the mood.

It’s why having a reason to fake happiness – such as interacting with children, strangers or your boss – can be a path to happiness.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re trying to keep it classy.

You behave as though every moment will be broadcast to the people you most want to impress. It will help to remember who those people are through your day.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ve a ritualistic approach to things that don’t really require such care.

Don’t skip steps and don’t change details or the order. Rituals give things meaning and they have a habit-forming potential.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll be the most disciplined and mentally sharp within the first four hours after waking. Take advantage of this by getting the hard work done and over with. By lunch, you’ll already be ahead of the game.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Sleep is a process based on phases. It doesn’t work if the phases are interrupted. In that case you have to start all over. Work is the same. Shield against interruptions, as there will be many today.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): No matter how hard you look, the heart can never be fully understood.

Anyway, some things are best approached with cursory attention. Ruminate at a later date.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll be in a position to be rated, judged, critiqued or followed.

Your audience will be sceptical, and you can win them over with your delivery of what you know to be true. They’ll feel your integrity.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your original plan won’t seem nearly as exciting once you realise other people are having some fun. Review your priorities so that whatever you decide, you can do it consciously and feel good.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Whatever you get into today (work, relationships, projects) leave yourself an out. That’s smart. As things develop, so will your feelings, and you don’t know how you’ll feel about it next week.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Entitlement is a contagious disease. One person decides “I deserve this!” and the next gets the bug. Choose your company carefully. Prize humility and modesty.

Tuke wins warm-up Blair Tuke will head into the Volvo Ocean Race later this year with the wind in his sails after winning its official warm-up event. The Kiwi sailor, America’s Cup winner and Olympic gold-medallist took out the Leg Zero series with his Spanish Mapfre team yesterday, boding well for the start of the around-the-world Ocean Race in October. America’s Cup helmsman Peter Burling, meanwhile, finished Leg Zero in third place overall with his Dutch outfit, Team Brunel.

Final berth eludes College

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

Ashburton College’s Senior Girls’ Netball side narrowly missed out on making the final of the Christchurch Supernet competition on Wednesday night, losing 41-34 to St Margaret’s College.

“It was reasonably close but we were a little bit outclassed

on the night,” said coach Angela Mitchell. “We were four down with four minutes to go and we had the opportunity to close it but we couldn’t.

“They don’t make many mistakes so you have to take your opportunities when you get them.”

The last time AshColl made

the final was two years ago, when now U-21 New Zealand re Kate Lloyd was playing.

“We are really pleased to have made the top four and we always knew it was going to be a big challenge facing St Margaret’s in the final,” said Mitchell.

“We were really pleased with most of the performance.”

Looking on the bright side, Mitchell said it was exciting to be able to come back and work on what was not working the next day in the Mid Canterbury Netball premier competition.

“We get to try and fix things the next day and do things differently and don’t have to think about it for a whole week.”

Cautious pass mark for NZ athletes Pretty good, but could do better: Athletics NZ high performance boss Scott Goodman has allocated a cautious pass mark to New Zealand’s 12-strong team at the recent world athletics championships in London.

“If you gave it a mark, I’d say it was six or seven out of 10,” Goodman said.

“It could have been better, and there were certainly a couple we need to sit down with and have a good chat with them and their support teams.”

The Kiwi pre-championship target was set at one medal, one top-five finish and two in the top eight.

Shot putter Tom Walsh’s outstanding gold medal aside, New Zealand’s next best result came in the 1500m, where double Olympic medallist Nick Willis finished eighth.

Jacko Gill (shot) and Eliza McCartney (pole vault) both placed ninth while race walker Quentin Rew set a new national record in finishing 12th in the 50km walk.

McKenzie gets a starting role P24

Both Willis and McCartney were competing following injury-disrupted build-ups.

Nonetheless, Goodman admits there were a few athletes “a bit out of their range”.

Hammer thrower Julia Ratcliffe and discus thrower Marshall Hunt, both invited through the International Association of Athletics Federation’s qualification system, performed below their best.

Javelin thrower Ben Langton Burnell, long distance runner

Camille Buscombe and sprinter Joseph Millar were also well shy of their best. Middle distance runner Angie Petty missed out on the 800m semi-finals by 0.03sec, while 10,000m runner Zane Robertson was a solid 16th.

Goodman says work towards the Commonwealth Games next April has already begun.

“We’ve already started meetings with some of our athletes.
