Fish hooks and a hefty bill

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The future of St John’s base in central Ashburton could come down to how much the organisation is prepared to pay for an Ashburton District Council-owned piece of land.

The organisation is expanding its service with more crew and more ambulances, requiring a reconfiguration of its Tancred Street base. And as part of that it

wanted formal right of way over an adjoining Ashburton District Council section for ambulances returning to base.

The request was made to a July council committee meeting but it was turned down.

Granting right of way would compromise the potential use and value of the section, councillors decided.

St John has now asked the council if it could buy the section

which is currently used as informal, long term public car parking.

While that could be an option, at yesterday’s finance and business support committee meeting, business support manager Paul Brake said a sale would come with a few fish hooks and a hefty bill for a land status report.

If it is reserve land any sale would be handled by the Department of Conservation and the

land would initially be offered to Ngai Tahu. If it is not reserve land then it could be sold by the council.

It has an estimated market value in excess of $380,000.

Because there would be a significant cost to obtaining a land status report, councillor Neil Brown suggested St John should come up with a purchase price before the report was commissioned.

“If we want a certain number of dollars and they’re not prepared to pay, we need to know. We need a commitment from St John as to what they’re prepared to pay,” he said.

Councillors decided the organisation should be asked what it was prepared to pay for the land and if the numbers are right then the council would commission a land status report that would decide the sale process.

■ FOOD TRUCK TV STAR

On a mission to help tackle obesity rates among children

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Top Kiwi food personality Michael Van de Elzen is on a mission to help tackle obesity rates among children – and next week on Friday that mission will bring him to Ashburton.

The restaurateur, chef and star of TV series Food Truck wants young people around the country to know what’s in their food and how to cook, following the release of his book Good From Scratch Kids Cookbook.

He will be delivering a demonstration to students at Ashburton Intermediate, who are currently learning how to cook food products from scratch for their market day in December.

Van de Elzen is a father of two girls and has been spurred into action over his growing concerns about child obesity in Aotearoa, with new research by the University of Auckland confirming there is an ever-growing problem.

“I’m a chef, I want to educate and upskill our Kiwi kids and I feel hugely motivated to make a difference,” he said.

“What I’ve found after working with groups all over New Zealand is that often it starts with the next generation. In most cases if you teach the children, they go home and teach their parents.”

Van de Elzen is touring New Zealand for eight weeks in total.

He said being in the kitchen from a young age helps build a positive association with food and teaches life skills.

His demonstrations aren’t about “reinventing the wheel”, he said, but changing up some Kiwi favourites like fish and chips and pies, and adding a healthy, easy-to-cook twist.

Restaurateur, chef and TV star Michael Van de Elzen is en route to Ashburton to spread a positive message about food.

Struggling to shake whooping cough

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury is struggling to shake its whooping cough affliction.

There has been one case notified each week for the last three weeks in a row, harking back to levels not seen in the district since February.

Canterbury District Health Board public health physician Dr

Ramon Pink recommended timely vaccination for pregnant women, and for babies at six weeks, three months and five months.

Both patients representing the most recently notified cases in the month of October had recovered from their illness, he said.

“There is a national epidemic, formally notified in October 2017 by the Ministry of Health,” Dr Pink said.

However, while notification rates for Canterbury increased late last year, they had now declined over 2018 almost back to pre-epidemic levels.

Whooping cough, or pertussis, is caused by bacteria transmitted through airborne droplets.

It can be fatal in infants, and immunisation is free to pregnant women and on the childhood immunisation programme.

Otherwise booster shots cost about $50.

Health authorities suggest that those in contact with the most vulnerable also be vaccinated.

Whooping cough epidemics generally occur globally every four to six years.

The last epidemic in New Zealand began late in 2011 and did not settle until 2014.

Mid Canterbury had 10 cases

in December last year, followed by three each in January and February, dropping to zero for the months of March, June and August, and one each for the months of April, May, July and September.

The September case was notified for the week ending September 28, preceding another notified for the week ending October 5 and then another for the week ending October 12.

Winchmore church on demolition list

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The completion of the Winchmore church in 1911 was a cause for celebration, but 117 years later that same church is little more than a charred ruin.

Its future, church treasurer Brian Reesby says is clear.

Demolition.

But just 10 months ago, while its congregation may have dwindled to just five, the church was looking at a new and bright future.

The property, valued at $107,000 was put on the market and sold to a Canterbury artist who planned to breathe new life into the historic building.

The building was sold in late December, but just three weeks into 2018 it was badly damaged by fire and the small Winchmore congregation was left with a huge headache – the sale had not been completed and the building was beyond repair.

“The person who bought it withdrew from the sale so we’re left with it,” Reesby said.

Yes, it was insured but to date, no money has been paid out. He believes that won’t happen until the insurer completes its demolition.

And then all that will be left is a quarter acre section fronting State Highway 77. No date has been set for the demolition.

Reesby anticipates the

ShakeOut a refresher for quake reactions KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Police inspect the damage after a suspicious fire at the former Winchmore Church in January this year.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN church land will be sold to a neighbouring farmer.

Money from insurance and the sale of land are likely to go to Advance Ashburton Foundation to be used as part of its grants pool to community groups and organisations in the Ashburton District, Reesby said.

An auction of chattels was planned for late January, but all that was left after the fire were a trailer load of church pews salvaged post fire and memorial boards, one from each world war, and an extremely old bible, that had earlier been removed for safe keeping.

The fire was treated as sus-

picious and investigations are continue.

In July 2011 the church celebrated its 100th birthday with its final church service.

Not long after that, owners the Methodist church said it would need an expensive seismic survey and decided it should be closed.

■ I-SITE MEETING

BY SUE NEWMAN

why discussion on the future of Ashburton’s i-SITE building should be held in committee.

There was high public interest in the future of the building and therefore discussion around its future should be open to the public, Wilson said.

Council business support manager Paul Brake was quick with an answer. Some of the options for its use were com-

mercially sensitive and that meant those details weren’t for public consumption, he said.

A group would speak to one of the proposals Brake said, but would be asked to leave before any other proposals were discussed.

Wilson might have lost his attempt at opening up discussion on the i-SITE, but Neil Brown had success with his when

he asked when discussion on weather related issues with the Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Centre would be held.

A report on the issue will be presented at the committee’s November 29 meeting. Those discussions, Brake said, would largely be in open meeting.

Issues that related to pending court action, however, would be in-committee he said.

When the clock struck 9.30am yesterday, 2256 Ashburton District residents stopped what they were doing to “drop, cover, hold”.

A national ShakeOut drill was held for Kiwis to refresh their knowledge of what to do in an earthquake or tsunami – including local preschools, schools, families, businesses and the Ashburton District Council.

For students at Mayfield School the drill meant dropping down under their desks and holding onto the legs.

Principal Richard Kidd said classes individually showed their teachers how they’d find shelter in an earthquake, and most were well-versed in what to do.

“Obviously you can never fully prepare for such an event, but you can make yourself more comfortable by being ready,” he said.

“Practice makes perfect, so to speak.”

Over at Lauriston School, principal Colin Brodie said a bell sounded to represent the earthquake, then the whole school practised what they would do.

Brodie said many students at the school have memories connected with the Christchurch earthquakes – including one who was born during a quake.

Knowing what to do in an emergency is important for the kids and their families, he said.

Other groups, such as Ashburton Borough School, have opted to schedule their own ShakeOut in the next week, at a time when more people will be able to participate.

Participants have also taken home Civil Defence packs, including magnetic torches and information sheets for their fridges.

Civil Defence emergency management director Sarah Stuart-Black said all of New Zealand is at risk of earthquakes and the coastline is at risk of tsunamis.

“We can’t predict when one will happen, or where we will be, but we can protect ourselves and our families by practising what to do.”

ShakeOut is an international exercise that originated in California and was held nationwide in 2012 and 2015. This year the focus has changed to an annual event.

Futsal festival sparks lots of fun and bonding Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Peters: A new low

A futsal festival brought heaps of fun, heaps of laughter to the EA Networks Centre last weekend.

Batchelor said a particularly impressive performance came from councillor Leen Braam in the role of goalie.

“He was just absolutely committed,” she said.

A number of vocally support-

ive spectators joined the side line and there was heaps of fun, heaps of laughter, she said.

The event was sponsored by a number of local businesses and prizes were handed out throughout the games.

Overall, it was a well co-ordinated event which made use of a great facility, Batchelor said.

The country’s second Welcoming Communities futsal extravaganza is taking place in Tauranga this weekend.

From here, Batchelor said organisers are taking the feedback on board and looking at what other initiatives they could bring to Ashburton in the future.

Seeing fun and laughter wasn’t the only marker of success for organisers of Ashburton’s first futsal festival – it was watching new connections form between members of the community.

New Zealand Football joined forces with Ashburton District Council’s Welcoming Communities Co-ordinator, Immigration New Zealand and Mainland Football to deliver the unique event last weekend with really positive results.

The event was a first for Ashburton and a first for New Zealand, Welcoming Communities Community Development advisor Ilana Batchelor said.

It was intended to help foster connections between established locals and new arrivals in the area, as part of the wider Welcoming Communities programme being piloted in Ashburton.

Twenty-one teams competed, comprised of locals and newcomers, in junior, youth and adult categories.

An additional 65 children took part in a skills workshop, to learn the ins and outs of the fivea-side indoor football game.

The afternoon also saw a celebrity match take place, with guests the Mainland Dragons, and local personalities including Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel, the head boy and head girl at Ashburton College, coun-

ing development. Tenders close next week for infrastructure and earthworks.

Marketing of sections is anticipated to start by mid-November, but the subdivision is already generating interest from potential buyers, Skevington said.

Village Green has been 12 years in the making and its timing meshes neatly with developments at Lake Hood by the Aquatic Park Trust, he said.

Their development, however, is very different to the aquatic park extension project.

The name Village Green was chosen because it best described the way groups of houses would be built in a park-like setting, with each house sited to take advantage of lake and mountain views.

The development offers sections in four groups and includes covenanted green spac-

es and the sections are large enough that each will feel quite separate. While the sections are in clusters, they are shaped in a way that will ensure home builders’ privacy and views are retained.

The sections will come with covenants around areas such as fencing and sheds, and terrace houses and those on the west side of the central road must be single storey.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters says New Zealand politics has hit a new low in the wake of the Jami-Lee Ross tape saga and his public feud with National Leader Simon Bridges. Peters – who has been a Member of Parliament for the better part of 25 years – said he has “never seen a meltdown like this in my time in politics”. “It’s venal, it’s vicious and a level of public debate we have seen in the US, which we saw in the spill in Australia and now [we’re seeing it] in National.”

‘I’m no hero’ The mystery man who pulled a woman to safety after she fainted and fell on to railway tracks as the train approached says he’s not a hero. Angelo Brown was waiting at the Upper Hutt train station on Tuesday morning as the Wairarapa service approached, when he saw a young woman fall on to the railway tracks. “My initial thought was ‘just get in there and move her before the trains hits’,” he said. “The last thing I wanted to see in the morning was someone getting hit by a train.” Adrenaline took over as Brown leaped into the rail corridor to get the woman out of harm’s way. He tried to pull her back on to the platform but, running out of time, moved her to the side of the tracks instead.

Fortunately, the train was able to stop about 20m short of the spot where the woman fell.

Celebrating India’s dance, delicacies

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Each year Diwali showcases not only India’s dance, design and delicacies, but also Ashburton’s vibrant and thriving multi-culturalism.

The Festival of Lights has been celebrated in Ashburton for nine years and this time, organisers say they are going bigger than ever, with an upscale new venue at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre and around 500 tickets to sell.

From small gatherings at community houses, the event has grown steadily in popularity over the years, organiser Bikash Sakul said.

Last year, around 400 people from right across Canterbury attended, included local MPs, the mayor and guests of all ages.

Diwali is one of the most important festivals on the Hindu calendar, marking the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshman from 14 years of exile after conquering the Demon King Ravana.

Traditionally, people light their houses with lights, candles, firecrackers and earthern lamps called diyas.

At the event on Saturday, Octoner 27, savoury and sweet foods will be served up, and followed by a range of entertainment from

A performance at last year’s Diwali festival. a West Coast Bollywood performance group, to Bhangra and Diya dances, henna drawings and, of course, lanterns.

“It’s good food, good entertainment,” Sakul said.

Dozens of community groups,

businesses and sponsors have teamed up with the Indian Multicultural Trust to deliver this year’s festival.

Sakul said he was grateful to Advance Ashburton, the Tindall Foundation, Ashburton Dis-

trict Council, NBS Bank and the Community Organisation Grants Scheme for their generosity.

The Indian Multicultural Trust are also intending to hold a Holi festival in Ashburton for the first time next year, and it’s hoped the

fun, family-friendly festival of colours could take place in the domain.

Tickets for Diwali are now on sale from the Ashburton Trust Event Centre. The event starts at 6pm on Saturday, October 27.

■ WANAKA HELICOPTER CRASH

Second tragedy for Wallis family Wanaka’s Wallis family has been struck by a second helicopter tragedy in less than three months.

The Otago Daily Times understands pilot Nick Wallis was one of three people killed in a helicopter crash near Wanaka Airport yesterday.

Police have confirmed there were no survivors and that there were three people on board.

Wallis is survived by a wife and twin 7-year-old daughters.

Yesterday’s crash comes less than three months after his brother and fellow pilot Matthew Timothy Wallis was killed in a helicopter crash.

The 39-year-old’s body was discovered in the chopper wreckage at the bottom of Lake Wanaka, two days after the crash.

It is understood Nick Wallis was flying a leased Hughes 500 also carrying two Department of Conservation staff when it crashed yesterday. An empty DoC vehicle can be seen at the airport car park.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has expressed their sympathies for families, colleagues and friends of those who were killed in the crash.

“My heart goes out to the fami-

lot,” Sage said.

“I know that DOC is supporting the families and the work colleagues struck by this tragedy.

Director General Lou Sanson has flown south to be of assistance and I will be doing the same to offer what support I can.”

Inspector Olaf Jensen said the victims’ families have been notified and police are working to support them.

“We acknowledge this is the second helicopter crash in the Wanaka area in recent times and the impact this will have on the local community,” he said.

The scene will be secured overnight and police are working with other agencies on scene examination and recovery of the victims’ bodies.

The families have asked for respect at this time.

A former DOC worker who has flown with Nick Wallis on many occasions said it was a brand new Hughes 500 helicopter that was super safe.

“It will be really interesting to find out what has happened here.

I can’t believe it would be a pilot error as Nick was super experienced and a really talented pilot.”

He said Wallis ran a well-or-

Nick Wallis lies and loved ones of all those who died in today’s tragic crash,” Ardern said.

“DOC staff go to work every day on our behalf to take care of New Zealand’s precious environment.

Their work can take them into dangerous situations.

“It’s an absolute tragedy that these staff and the helicopter pilot, who were just going about

their work, will never return home.”

Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage also expressed her condolences to the families and friends of those killed in the incident.

“This is a devastating tragedy.

My thoughts and sympathies are with the families and work colleagues of the two DOC staff members and the helicopter pi-

ganised operation and they were using a brand new machine that was specifically designed to be super safe.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told Newshub she knew how many DoC staff were on-board the flight but would not reveal that information until the victims’ families were notified.

“DoC staff go out everyday working on our behalf on our environment, sometimes in really dangerous situations and this is an absolute tragedy,” she says.

DOC Director General Lou Sanson said he knew all involved in the crash.

He confirmed the chopper was on its way to undertake tahr control in the Haast area when it crashed.

It was a tragedy for DOC staff who were “like family” and passionate about the work they did, said Sanson, who was on his way to the region yesterday.

DOC’s focus was “to support the families and staff as they go through this tough time”, he said.

“We are still trying to come to terms with this morning’s tragedy.

Our hearts go out to the families of the DOC workers involved.”

Caravan closes on Mexico Mexico has amassed 250 extra police on its border with Guatemala in preparation for the arrival of a migrant caravan heading for the United States, officials say.

The caravan has been growing steadily since it left the violent Honduran city of San Pedro Sula late last week and is estimated to include between 1500 and 4000 people.

The migrants hope to reach Mexico and then cross its northern border with the US, to seek refuge from endemic violence and poverty in Central America.

US President Donald Trump has criticised the caravan and has already threatened Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador with aid cuts if they fail to stop migrants from crossing their borders on the way to the US. “Hard to believe that with thousands of people from south of the border, walking unimpeded toward our country in the form of large caravans, that the Democrats won’t approve legislation that will allow laws for the protection of our country,” Trump said on Twitter this week.

The first migrants have arrived in the Guatemalan border town of Tecun Uman, according to the country’s Bishops’ Conference.

Partial shredding a glitch

A group of some 2000 Honduran migrants bound to the US border sit on trailers in Guatemala.

PHOTO AP The migrants, who include children and elderly people, are moving by bus, other vehicles and on foot. Guatemalan authorities pledged to guarantee order and security, but let the migrants pass through.

Mexico has announced that it will not allow the entry of people without the necessary documents. However, the migrants have the possibility of seeking asylum in Mexico, Amnesty

International said.

Mexican police chief Manelich Castilla said earlier that police would assist the migration authority, but that its task was not to block the caravan.

Meanwhile, about 500 people have left Choluteca department in southern Honduras to join the caravan. They were unable to stay in their country because of high crime rates, unemploy-

ment and economic difficulties, one of the organisers told local media.

Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez has called on Hondurans not to risk their lives by participating in the caravan.

“Today you are exposed to criminal gangs, traffickers of people and organs, drug traffickers ... criminal gangs,” Hernandez said.

■ INDIA

Indian minister resigns amid sex scandal India’s junior external affairs minister MJ Akbar has resigned amid accusations by 20 women of sexual harassment during his previous career as one of the country’s most prominent news editors, becoming the most powerful man to fall in India’s burgeoning #MeToo movement.

Akbar said in a statement that he would “challenge false accusations” in a personal capacity, referring to a criminal defamation case he filed against the first woman to accuse him.

Akbar, 67, first served as a lawmaker for India’s then-ruling India National Congress party between 1989 and 1991.

He then edited The Tele-

graph, The Asian Age and other newspapers and wrote several books of non-fiction, becoming one of the most influential people in the Indian news media.

He returned to public life in March 2014, when he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party and was appointed national spokesman during the 2014 election that brought the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to power.

In India’s deeply conservative society, the #MeToo movement began belatedly but has picked up steam in recent weeks.

Since September, Indian actresses and writers have flooded social media with allegations of sexual harassment and

assault by their superiors and colleagues.

The string of accusations against Akbar began when journalist Priya Ramani identified him on Twitter on October 8 as the unnamed editor that she had described in a story about newsroom sexual harassment published in Vogue last year.

Other women in media have alleged that Akbar interviewed job candidates in hotel rooms at night; groped, massaged and forcibly kissed young interns and employees; and offered young women choice out-oftown postings so that he could go visit them there.

After returning from an official visit to West Africa, Akbar

denied the allegations as “false, baseless and wild”.

He then filed a defamation case against Ramani.

“Why has this storm risen a few months before a general election?” he asked.

Modi is hoping to remain in power in elections due early next year.

On Tuesday, 20 women signed a statement asking the court hearing Akbar’s defamation case against Ramani to allow them to give their own testimonies against him.

The case was filed in a New Delhi court. If convicted of criminal defamation, Ramani could be jailed up to two years.

Banksy has posted a new video to his website implying the partial shredding of his Girl With Balloon at a London auction was supposed to have been complete. The video shows the famously anonymous artist constructing the shredding mechanism inside an ornate frame and pushing a button in a black box to activate the destruction at Sotheby’s in London earlier this month.

The act shocked the crowd, but the winning bidder, a European collector, went ahead and bought it anyway for $US1.4 million, according to the auction house, which did not name the buyer.

Buble slams rumours Grammy-winning singer Michael Buble is shutting down rumours that he’s going to retire, saying he was misquoted in a recent interview. Buble told media he was not planning on retiring anytime soon. The Canadian singer is disputing an October 13 interview published in the Daily Mail that said he would be quitting music after the November 16 release of his upcoming album Love. The report suggested Buble was stepping away from music after his son Noah’s cancer battle. But the singer says the story is false. He says he found out about the report after receiving text messages from friends.

■ HEATHROW AIRPORT

Heathrow to roll out facial recognition technology London’s Heathrow Airport is rolling out biometric technology that will recognise your face throughout departures, cutting out the need to use boarding cards.

The move is optional to passengers and part of a £50 million project that will make it the world’s largest biometric deployment when it launches in the northern summer of 2019, with facial recognition points at check-in, bag drop and boarding.

It will potentially reduce the

average passenger’s journey time by up to a third.

At present, travellers need to stop to show agents different forms of ID such as boarding cards, booking reference numbers as well as their passports.

“As our passenger numbers continue to grow, we must look for innovative ways to make it easier and quicker for them to travel through Heathrow with choice, whilst keeping our airport secure,” Heathrow customer relations and service director Jonathan Coen said.

“With this technology we’ll be able to offer passengers choice on how they travel through our airport, with colleagues on hand to guide passengers that require it.”

Some forms of biometrics are already in use at the airport, such as facial recognition e-gates at the border, but the latest step will be the first time that Heathrow will use the technology at every stage of the departing passenger’s journey.

Although the system would

mean significantly less contact with staff departing from Heathrow, colleagues will still be on hand to assist passengers who need it and will cut down on repetitive tasks that can cause bottlenecks.

Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport recently unveiled a similar offering to help speed up the departure process, with self-service kiosks for flight and baggage checkin, security clearance and boarding powered by facial recognition.

Palace left red-faced As if news of the royal baby wasn’t enough to steal her thunder, Princess Eugenie has suffered a further insult — Buckingham Palace has mistaken her for her sister while selling wedding souvenirs. In a post on its official Instagram account, Buckingham Palace announced the sale of commemorative mugs marking last week’s nuptials of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

There was only one thing — the caption mistakenly referred to Eugenie’s older sister, Princess Beatrice. “This exclusive mug issued in commemoration of the wedding of HRH Princess Beatrice of York and Mr Jack Brooksbank is now available for purchase,” the caption said.

HOW PROPERTY BUYERS CAN SPOT

a healthy home like reducing mould and damp.

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

Purchasing a house that’s warm and dry is a priority for many property hunters, but how can buyers identify a ‘healthy’ home?

Real Estate Authority (REA) chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith says there are a handful of key traits to watch out for.

“A house that’s hard to heat can make you sick and miserable. In many cases, the key is good insulation,” Lampen-Smith says.

The World Health Organisation recommends a minimum of 18 degrees in our homes. Insulation is often the most practical and cost-effective way to make a house more energy efficient. An insulated home is warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which can provide health benefits

“Ask the agent or seller if the property is insulated, the type of insulation used and when it was installed. Ask your building inspector to check the state of the insulation,” LampenSmith suggests.

Lampen-Smith explains insulation should be replaced or topped up if it’s less than 12cm thick, doesn’t cover the whole ceiling, has become wet or damp, or been damaged by rodents or birds.

“If a property you’re looking at isn’t insulated, it’s a good idea to budget for the cost of doing the work, as your health (and your wallet) will thank you in the long term.”

There’s support available for some buyers, such as a Warmer Kiwi Homes

insulation grant.

Some local councils also allow property owner to add the cost of insulation to their rates and pay this back over time.

When working to identify a healthy home, Lampen-Smith says it’s important to watch out for dampness. Signs of dampness include musty smells, damp or mouldy wardrobe contents, mould forming behind paintings or furniture, or mould or watermarks on ceilings or walls.

“Condensation on windows, especially in bedrooms, isn’t necessarily a sign of excessive dampness if it only happens occasionally during winter,” Lampen-Smith explains.

Ideally, the house will have extractor fans in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry that are vented outside. Fans should not be

vented into the roof space.

Good curtains can also help a house retain warmth.

“It’s important to note that curtains aren’t necessarily included in the sale of the house, so ask about this and if the answer is yes, ensure they’re included in the list of chattels in the sale and purchase agreement,” Lampen-Smith says.

According to EECA, good curtains should be floor-length and fit tightly against the wall or window frame. Sill-length curtains are ineffective. Curtains should be wider than the window frame and preferably be double layered with a thick lining. If the property has ineffective curtains, or does not come with curtains, buyers should factor this cost into their budget.

A whole new theme

T

here’s plenty to like about the new Santa Fe, the stylish looks of the stronger, larger new body, and the highlight – its more upmarket cabin furnishing.

The new Santa Fe displays new design themes inside and out.

You won’t confuse the Santa Fe with the slightly smaller Tucson anymore.

Nor will there be any identification issues between the new SF and the compact Kona, despite the larger vehicle adopting a similarly adventurous headlight layout to the smaller, with arrays of LED driving lights taking top billing on the fascia, while the genuine possum-stunners reside on either side of the enlarged front bumper, stacked into two large pentangle-shaped recesses.

As for the “fluidic sculpture” theme of recent Hyundais, the exterior of new Santa Fe no longer looks like it was shaped by running water.

Instead of the rippled character line of the current model, there’s a strong shoulder line running down the flanks of the new SF from front to rear, adding a crisp muscularity to the design.

As for the interior of the new Hyundai, it’ll take several decades to grow old.

There’s the twin cockpits for front-seat occupants, accompanied by a centre console that cascades past them while keeping every control handy.

The driver gets to face a TFT screen with an Audi-like ability to select multiple

instrumentation layouts – and, like top Kona models, there’s a legible and informative heads-up-display. Another large colour TFT screen at the top of the centre console monitors secondary control settings, and projects cellphone info and applications via either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, as well as the maps of Hyundai’s new fifthgeneration nav system.

But it’s the new trim and colours that set the mood. There’s a choice of brown and royal blue leathers.

With a well-arranged mix of rough and

All New Santa Fe

smooth textures, it all comes together to create a Genesis-like ambience, and few mainstream SUVs exude such class inside.

The Krell audio system fitted to top-spec Santa Fe models has the ability to resurrect Woodstock, offering clarity and resonances that will allow you to pick out new nuances in your music du jour.

Getting in or out of any of the seven seats of the Santa Fe is now easier, thanks to a 65mm wheelbase extension and the pulling forward of the front windscreen pillars.

The fourth-gen Santa Fes will continue to be powered by the 2.4 litre direct-injection petrol engine with its 138kW/241Nm peak outputs, and the same R-series 2.2 litre turbo-diesel that generates 147kW and 440Nm. The powertrain improvements to our wagons are the lighter new eight-speed automatic gearbox that replaces the sixspeed of the current model and provides a wider spread of ratios, and improvements to the adaptive 4wd system that add driving modes.

Cutting-edge Citroen Bernard Egan MOTORING

C

itroen welcomed a staggering 1.3 million visitors to their display stand at the 1948 Paris Salon de l’Automobile seventy years ago.

Those visitors got to see the newly unveiled Citroen 2CV or in French “deux chevaux” – two steam horse power.

Some motoring critics weren’t sure about the unusual little car, but the public liked it, and orders amounting to three years’ production were taken.

Although it was first seen in 1948 initial design of the 2CV began in 1935 and after experimenting with various design options Citroen produced a prototype just before the outbreak of World War 2.

The hostilities meant the concept was pretty much put on hold.

But not forgotten.

Some work was done on the project during the war, then as soon as peace arrived Citroen went back to the drawing board thinking the idea of a basic cheap, simple, and economical small car would appeal to French (and ultimately other) motorists.

They were right.

Ten years had passed since the original idea was conceived so some design changes were made.

Production, which began during 1949, ultimately lead to over 5 million “pure” 2CV saloons and vans built during the next 41 years.

In addition millions more variations of the 2CV design, using the same mechanical elements including Ami, Club, Charleston, Dyane, Mehari, Acadiane and Special were also built.

The 2CV’s small air-cooled flat twin overhead valve engine, which started out at just 375cc, was developed as production went along.

Ultimately capacity reached 602cc.

Citroen placed real emphasis on economy and adequate power combined with reliability.

The aim which was achieved was to produce a hard-working engine which would pass the test of time.

Citroen have never been afraid to introduce cutting edge, sometimes radical designs, and the delightful little 2CV is no exception.

It has a style of its own and the original design hardly changed.

No eggs were harmed in the making of this story.

And of course as time has gone on that has made the 2CV a classic – a delightful little lady with some might say unusual looks which of course makes it what it is – a real little attention grabber.

Not everyone appreciates the style – and the 2CV certainly has plenty of that – but with time these delightful little cars grow on people and it becomes a case of you either like the 2CV or – you like it a lot.

Basil and Bev Attewell are among those who like 2CVs a lot.

Currently they have a 1979 Club and another member of the 2Cv family – an Ami 6 station wagon.

Both have been restored by Basil, who previously worked his same magic on two other 2CVs. So when we spoke with Basil the first and probably most obvious question was “why do you like 2C Vs, what is about them that appeals to you?”

“Well, we wanted a slightly unusual car, we saw a 2CV and it was obviously a bit different, a bit out of the ordinary, a bit quirky and we liked what we saw”, explained Basil.

Their current 2CV Club is a fortunate little car whose future could have been a lot different if it were not for Basil.

For something like 10 years the poor little car languished abandoned in a Wellington car park building.

In the end the building owner sold it to defray expenses, the purchaser’s circumstances changed and Basil bought it.

After a full restoration, much of it done

by Basil, the car was back on the road and looking resplendent, in 2010.

Since then it’s provided much motoring enjoyment for Basil and Bev, often on Sunday runs, sometimes with fellow Citroen enthusiasts.

The 2CV has an interesting essentially independent suspension system, which provides an incredibly smooth ride.

Being one of the later versions the Attewell’s car is fitted with a 602cc motor coupled to a 4-speed gearbox.

Changing gears is an interesting procedure which Basil handles with ease, and

choosing the correct gear is essential for maximum efficiency.

There’s a delightful story about the gearbox.

Because Citroen were aiming for the lowest possible production costs, the company accountants stipulated a 3-speed gearbox but the design engineers knew the little car’s small engine would need to be equipped with four forward gears.

So they came up with a cunning plan, suggesting the 3-speed box be fitted with what they called “overdrive”, an idea the bean counters agreed to, or put another way fell for!

The original design brief for the 2CV called for an uncomplicated easily maintained car and included the stipulation it should be able to carry 50kg of produce to market, run very economically and carry a basket full of eggs on the front seat across a ploughed field without breakage.

The lovely little car achieved all that and more.

Now seventy years after it was born the Citroen 2CV has become an icon, and thanks to enthusiasts like Basil and Bev Attewell will only become even more well liked as time goes on.

One of Bond’s best

E

arlier this year Basil Attewell shared a very interesting article from a Citroen magazine with us which we in turn published.

It seems appropriate to repeat it now at the time of the 2CV’s seventieth birthday.

It’s about the Citroen 2CV which James Bond drove during a chase scene in the movie For Your Eyes Only.

Yes that’s right, he drove a Citroen 2CV, and did some amazing things in it.

Driving that is.

Mind you it was fitted with a more powerful Citroen motor and because it had such appeal Citroen produced a limited number of Special edition 2CV 007 models, which have become very collectable.

There is an interesting twist to this, the appeal of the delightful little Citroen was reflected in the results of a 2006 worldwide survey in which James Bond fans voted it the best car in which 007 had slipped and shaken.

Ahead of the famous “Goldfinger” Aston Martin DB5!

EcoBoost Meaner and leaner T

Turbocharged Pony: Under the hood

The hood vents on the 2019 Mustang EcoBoost feed a highly sophisticated direct fuel-injection 2.3-litre turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine, mated to a standard six-speed manual or optional allnew 10-speed paddleshift automatic.

With an aluminium block and head, featuring an integrated exhaust manifold, it produces 224kWii and 441Nmii and uses a twin-scroll turbocharger.

The Mustang EcoBoost’s turbocharger has been tuned for optimal spooling to deliver a smooth torque curve yet low-end responsiveness behind the wheel.

It also features forged conrods, lightweight pistons with steel rings, and twin independent variable cam timing.

A new 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, now available with both EcoBoost and V8 engines, is the best automatic Mustang has ever offered and now

also boasts new Ford-patented technology.

With a wide-ratio span and optimised gear spacing, this all-new transmission helps deliver higher average power for acceleration – improving responsiveness and performance.

Compared to the previous six-speed, the new 10-speed transmission improves shift times, low-speed tip-in response and reduces friction losses.

The six-speed manual transmission for both of the engine options has been upgraded for optimal torque, and now includes a dual-mass flywheel to deliver more efficient clutch modulation, delivering improved NVH and higher torque capability.

FULL FORECOURT SERVICE Remember a time when you went to your local Petrol Station/Garage and they greeted you with a warm smile, checked your oil and water, cleaned your window screen and filled your tank with fuel?

Mustang EcoBoost: unmistakable style for 2019

Available in Convertible and sleek Fastback body styles, Mustang EcoBoost brings with it a fresh visual upgrade for 2019.

Its more athletic and contemporary exterior design includes a lower, remodelled bonnet and grille for a meaner, leaner look, and a new front splitter for improved handling and improved fuel economy.

For the first time, the entire Mustang line-up features all-LED front lights, including iconic tribar daytime running lamps (DTRLs) plus there are revised LED taillamps, new bumper, fascia and an optional performance spoiler.

The classic long-bonnet, swooping roofline and short-tail is punctuated by the standard black 19-inch alloy wheels showcasing the Brembo brake calipers.

Leading to revised taillight design, a black rear diffuser houses quad-exhausts, with rolled finishing for 2019.

The 2019 Mustang EcoBoost is so customisable that even its exhaust note can be adjusted.

Delivering an audible experience like never before, an all-new active valve exhaust system is now standard on every new Mustang, with a fully variable soundtrack to match the entire acceleration range.

When your WOF was due they would remind you and book you in and take care of everything.

Allenton Auto is a place where the customer comes first and where everything is easy and uncomplicated.

It doesn’t matter if you have a car, van, ute, light commercial or a Motorbike of any make or model Allenton Auto can take excellent care of it. Warrants, tyres, batteries, engine repairs and re-builds and exhaust systems are all areas of know-how and expertise. When you add in outstanding customer service you are on a winner.

At Allenton Auto these are still the good old days!

Owner Aidan Flett and his very able team look forward to seeing you at Allenton Auto soon.

Carbon fibre classic

H

igh end bikes are almost all made from carbon fibre – not just for light weight – but because it gives the designers more flexibility to get exactly the ride characteristics they want.

There is no reason why this shouldn’t apply to high-end ebikes too.

In this case, it does lend lightness – it was noticeably lighter than the Levo I compared it to – and the handling was tight as a new drum.

This British-built thoroughbred is assembled around a Shimano E8000 motor, 504Wh battery and a Shimano parts set.

They all work well together.

The motor is grunty if a bit raucous at times, the XT shifter works crisply and accurately even under load, and the Deore single-pot brakes are well modulated and powerful.

The Shimano display is low profile and easy to read in all lighting.

The power levels are changed using two trigger shifters that work well, but take up a fair bit of space on the bars.

I did find myself hitting the dropper lever on one occasion.

The display is well protected and easy to read.

The suspension set-up is typical of midtravel eMTBs with a 150mm Roc Shox Yari fork and a Deluxe trunnion mounted out back with Horst linkage and 460mm stays.

It lends the bike a nice responsive nature, but still stays planted even on the steepest of climbs (because it can climb up anything).

The 2.8-inch Schwalbe Magic Mary tyres on 27.5-inch wheels lend heaps of confidence with nice bitey sidewalls.

I suspect they will handle mud and wetness well.

The geometry is very similar to other bikes – I was comparing it to a 2018 Specialized Levo.

Compared to that bike it was lighter but felt a bit more ‘old school’ in it’s setup.

Quite probably due to the longer stem, which is easily remedied.

Talking about things I’d like to remedy, the Selle Italia saddle is unlovable.

e-bike reviews are courtesy of NZ Electric Bike Review

It belongs on an XC bike, not a rowdy All Mountain bike.

The Lev Integra seatpost worked well although it can’t extend as far as others, so err on the side of a larger rather than smaller frame (it comes in S-XL).

Getting back to the carbon fibre frame, the ride was amazingly accurate.

Once I had the suspension setup right for me I was able to fly around corners with confidence and tackle drops and dips.

The good balance and lightness allowed me to pop the wheel over obstacles and whip the tail over little jumps.

The Shimano motor system is very sensitive to input and in Trail mode gives the rider a lot of control, a bit like the Bosch eMTB mode.

It is also adjustable by app.

I found myself sometimes putting the motor on ‘BOOST’ uphill which turned otherwise climby stuff into fun stuff, it

should say ‘BLAST’ instead because that is what it was.

This isn’t the cheapest of bikes by any means at just under $9000, but for a carbon bike with a great parts set it is about right.

Electrifying the Renegade T

he FCA Melfi Plant in Italy is beginning preparations to produce the Jeep Renegade Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) scheduled for market launch in early 2020.

The Renegade PHEV will be produced alongside the Renegade and 500X full combustion engine products that are currently produced at the Melfi vehicle assembly plant.

The pre-production units of the new Jeep Renegade PHEV are scheduled in 2019.

The investment for the new engine launch equates to more than 200 million euros and also includes a strong commitment for training all workers on the application of this new technology.

The plant facilities involved in the production will also be modernised accordingly. ”With over 742,000 Renegades produced to date in Italy, the Melfi plant and the Renegade are the ideal location and the perfect product to launch the PHEV, further strengthening the offer of this highly successful Jeep”, said Pietro Gorlier, Chief Operating Officer EMEA region.

During the FCA Capital Markets Day on June 1, when the 2018-2022 business plan was presented, it was stated that one of the most important change factors addressed in the strategic plan is electrification. Investments during the plan period result in a portfolio of technical solutions that will enable FCA to comply with the regulatory requirements in each sales region. At the same time, the technology will also be applied to enhance the specific strengths of each brand.

By 2022, FCA will offer a total of 12 electric propulsion systems (BEV, PHEV, full-hybrid and mild-hybrid) in global architectures.

OUR VIEW

No harm in being prepared I

t’s not all that long ago that the prospect of having a nationwide ShakeOut would have seemed quite irrelevant.

Now, considering the events of recent years, they are almost a necessity.

So, when the clock struck 9.30am yesterday morning and students and workers around the country all ducked underneath their desks in an effort to ensure that, should the ground decide to rumble once more, we are prepared and know best how to keep ourselves safe.

It is particularly useful and worthwhile for our younger generation, especially those who

may be in their first few years of schooling or even at a preschool.

They weren’t around, or they weren’t aware, of what was unfolding back in 2010 and 2011.

So, ensuring they are wellversed in what the best things to do should we strike a situation the same again is critically important and why days like

yesterday are undertaken.

Unless you haven’t lived through one of the many thousands of earthquakes we’ve had here in the Mainland since those horrible memories of September 4, 2010 and beyond, the significance of being prepared and knowing what to do won’t be lost on anyone.

We’ve all sat there at some point and felt the gentle beginnings of a shake – bracing ourselves for the intensity to rapidly magnify while searching for the best and easiest place to take refuge.

And it is only in those moments that you learn just how you are going to react in such a situation.

A drill is a really good way to prepare yourself for it in a location where you spend an awful lot of your time but being prepared at other stages of the day is equally as important.

Whether a direct result of being in Christchurch when the major quake struck or not, I always tend to find myself looking for a safe haven when I walk into somewhere new.

It’s become a ritual now where a quick scope of my surroundings is done before choosing a location in which I can duck to if required.

Some might see that as a little over the top, but I like to think of

it as being that extra bit vigilant.

Earthquakes, as I’m sure I don’t need to explain, are horrible experiences to live through – especially those like we’ve had in the past eight or so years.

They are the sort of memories that still really haunt people from within the Canterbury region and further afield.

Yesterday won’t have brought back happy memories for a lot of people, but those same individuals can also take solace in the fact that as much work as is possible is being done to ensure that when the next big quake hits, everyone is as prepared as they possibly can be.

o know or not to know, that was the question.

I attended my first ever gender reveal party on Saturday.

An emotionally-charged occasion that could have gone so wrong, but ended up being near perfect.

A series of balloons to be popped with darts randomly, leaving coloured paint splatters on the backing board.

Twelve balloons, three of which are either blue or pink depending on the sex of the bump, two of the other and then seven green ones. Confused? Yes, I was.

Why so many?

What was the green for?

Gender neutral?

Oh just to add to the anticipation? I get it, sort of.

But what if the first three balloons are blue or pink? Oh, okay, job done. We can go and eat some cake.

What if the board falls over and all the balloons pop? Oh that’s what the cake is for. It’s either blue or pink inside. I just thought that was part of the party food. Are we allowed to eat it?

When the first couple of darts hit the grass in front of the balloon board, my thoughts drifted off to Sideshow Bob and the upcoming A&P show.

Step right up, step right up, everyone’s a winner!

I then started thinking about a carnie dog dunked in tomato sauce. I may have dribbled a little.

Back to the balloons, 11 popped. Sevens green spatters, two blue and two pink. Couldn’t have worked out better! Pop! Blue. Phew, it wasn’t green!

Right let’s check the cake asap, just to double check it is a boy.

From a bloke’s point of view, I reckon the reveal is a much better idea than the surprise at birth.

If one does accidentally show a smidgen of disappointment with the result, her indoors’ reaction is likely to be less violent than if she has just gone through child birth.

Plus, it gives us fellas lots more procrastination time re nursery painting – “I will get round to it, I don’t need you reminding me every month”.

A gender reveal must be a very good reason to celebrate with

Email us! editor@theguardian. co.nz some quality craft beers also?

It’s also very good for the world’s economy!

Here are a few ideas to make your gender reveal party top drawer.

■ Pokemon gender reveal ball In this case, you gotta catch just one – your little boy or girl.

Let your guests know which by tossing this poké ball and watching it explode into blue or pink dust.

■ Gender reveal with LED lightsabre Use the Force to reveal your baby’s gender.

If you’re expecting your own little Princess Leia, the pink light-sabre makes a cute Star Wars themed party favour.

There’s also a blue sabre for mini Luke Skywalkers.

■ Gender reveal piñata Simply smashing –a piñata that explodes with pink or blue confetti, revealing baby’s gender.

Serve up tacos and virgin sangria to make it a full-on fiesta.

And my personal favourite, depending on which end you’re on.

■ Gender reveal paint gun fun Proud parents-to-be wear white to the party and arm their friends with paint guns filled with pink or blue paint.

Darts and hormones flying around at the same time, could be a trap for a young player, so fellas remember, a closed mouth gathers no foot.

Till next week, hoo roo.

In brief

■ RESTAURANT BRANDS

Mexicans bid for KFC Mexico’s Finaccess Capital has offered $881.5 million – a 24 per cent premium – to buy threequarters of Restaurant Brands New Zealand.

The fast-food franchise operator put off paying an interim dividend when announcing yesterday’s first-half result, saying it’s received a non-binding partial takeover offer from the Mexican company.

The $9.45 a share offer is a premium to the $7.60 close yesterday and more than the record $8.15 the company hit in June.

The bid values Restaurant Brands at $1.18 billion.

The New Zealand company’s board, chaired

by Ted van Arkel, who plans to step down next year, recommends shareholders wait until a formal offer is received and a target company statement issued.

“There is no guarantee at this stage that agreement will be reached or that Finaccess will advance the proposal to the point where a takeover notice is issued,” the company said.

Finaccess Capital’s interests include AmRest Holdings, which operates KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks outlets across Europe and China. Restaurant Brands holds the franchise for KFC, Pizza Hut, and Carl’s Jr in New Zealand, and operates KFC franchises in Australia. It also runs Taco Bell and Pizza Hut stores in Hawaii.

Any deal would need approval from the Overseas Investment Office and Yum! Brands, which owns the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands.

Restaurant Brands also reported a net profit of $20.4m in the 28 weeks ended September 10, up from $19.1m a year earlier.

It affirmed guidance for annual profit of $43m to $45m, including the looming sale of its 22 New Zealand Starbucks Coffee stores.

Restaurant Brands’ 94 New Zealand KFC stores remain the earnings driver, accounting for $37m of the group’s $69.2m of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.

KFC margins held up at 20.6 per cent from 20.7 per cent, with product promotions and a new delivery service for some stores boosting sales.

Pizza Hut New Zealand ebitda dropped 30 per cent to $1.5m as the company sold stores to independent franchisees. Margins shrank due to increased wages from the hike in minimum wages. Carl’s Jr stores boosted earnings 28 per cent to $700,000 as the company shifted its strategy from driving sales through discounts.

The Australian unit boosted earnings 43 per cent to $14m, largely on new store acquisitions.

Debt collectors warned Debt collection agencies have been put on notice by the Commerce Commission after it warned one company about its actions amid a spike in complaints about the industry. The commission said it had warned Intercoll it had likely breached the Fair Trading Act after the company told a debtor that if she wanted to question her debt she would need to contact the company she originally owed money to. But that was not true because Intercoll had bought the debt and the woman who owed the money should have been able to dispute it directly with the company.

An otherwise limp Sky TV annual meeting was enlivened when a shareholder objected to board candidate Derek Handley. The entrepreneur has been on Sky’s board since 2014 and was up for re-election. Retail investor Coralie van Camp stood up to say, “A lot of information has come out about his business activities that have lost investors a lot of money.” Another Handley startup, Feverpitch had lost investors $3 million she said, while a third, Snakk Media, had seen its market cap slump from $60m to below $1m.

ast week we saw the return of volatility, something that has been missing from the market for some time.

The back end of last week was a bit of a rollercoaster ride, with the local NZX 50 benchmark down 3.6 per cent on Thursday, but rebounding 1.4 per cent on Friday (likely taking a lead from the US futures, which were pointing to a rebound on the US market).

Friday’s rebound broke a nineday losing streak for the NZX 50, although only Thursday saw a fall of more than 1 per cent throughout that nine-day stretch.

This week so far the local market has been slightly more stable and, despite the falls our local bourse has seen of late, it is still currently up over 6 per cent for the year to date (as at the time of writing).

The week’s key event on the local economic calendar was the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for the September 2018 quarter.

The third quarter inflation data was stronger than expected, with the headline CPI rising 0.9 per cent quarter on quarter. This saw annual inflation pick up to 1.9 per cent, up from 1.5 per cent in the second quarter.

The non-tradables inflation data was as expected with tradables inflation being slightly higher.

The New Zealand dollar rose to a two-week high on the back of the data release, as the stronger than expected inflation data lowered traders’ expectations for a rate cut.

Other economic data of note included the Global Dairy Trade

auction with an overall drop in prices of 0.3 per cent, marking five consecutive periods of declines.

In company news, Restaurant Brands announced first half results that were broadly in line with expectations together with a partial takeover offer by Finaccess Capital at a 24 per cent premium to the share price. Port of Tauranga also held its AGM releasing its first quarter trading update, which was modestly below market expectations. Of some concern was soft container volumes, which are currently being offset by strong log volumes.

Australian shares rebounded this week, with the benchmark ASX 200 rising throughout the week after Monday’s performance saw the benchmark sit at sixmonth lows.

In Australian economic data, the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest six-monthly Financial Stability Review saw the central bank warn that the risks of international shocks hitting Australia’s otherwise resilient financial system were growing.

The nation’s overall financial strength has improved, with the major banks’ capital positions up approximately 50 per cent from a decade earlier and tighter mortgage lending standards reducing risk.

International risks that the RBA

expressed concern about included the potential impact of global shocks, citing an escalation of the trade war, slower Chinese growth, contagion risks from emerging market economies and the escalation of banking and sovereign debt problems in Italy.

Seen as a major driver for global markets, third-quarter earnings season is now well under way with 56 of the S&P 500’s constituents having reported thus far.

Very impressive earnings growth has been a key theme for equity markets in 2018, and this looks set to continue as 70 per cent of companies that have reported have beaten revenue estimates while 90 per cent have beaten earnings expectations.

Starting the long list of corporates reporting were financial heavyweights, Citigroup, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs which all produced strong third quarter results.

Healthcare companies, UnitedHealth and Johnson & Johnson posted better-than-expected earnings. Johnson & Johnson also raised its full year guidance for the third consecutive quarter, as demand for its cancer drugs and immune disorder treatments rose strongly.

Of note, streaming giant, Netflix also reported a strong result, beating earnings estimates and revealing a strong pick up in subscriber numbers.

■ MONBET

Long wait could be over Greg Hope had two open class reasons to smile yesterday.

And that could mean the long wait for champion trotter Monbet to return to the track is almost over.

Hope not only trains Monbet but New Zealand Cup contender A G’s White Socks and both are coming off setbacks of wildly different lengths.

Monbet hasn’t raced for 23 months after an array of leg issues while A G’s White Socks was dragged off the track just minutes before Sunday’s Methven Cup after soft tissue damage believed to have been suffered in a raceday slip.

But the news is good for both.

Monbet made one of his first public appearances since winning the Dominion at the Cup carnival two years ago when Hope snuck him on to the Rangiora track for a workout on Wednesday.

There was nothing official about it, with Monbet working solo over 2600m but it was as good as a trial and a massive step in the right direction. He trotted 3:24 for 2600m, his last 800m in 60 seconds and final 400m in 28 and most importantly pulled up sound.

“It was nice work and showed he is ready for a trial next week and then the races at Addington on November 2,” said Hope.

“After that, all going well, we will aim him at the Trotting Free-ForAll on Cup Day (November 13).”

In brief Tiger Tara on track Tiger Tara continues his NZ Cup build-up at Menangle tomorrow night. And, in exciting news for Addington officials, trainer Kevin Pizzuto confirmed his other open-class star, Majordan, would accompany Tiger Tara to Christchurch. “Majordan’s target will be the (NZ) free-for-all on the Friday,” Pizzuto said. Majordan will clash with Tiger Tara for the third consecutive week in Saturday night’s 2300m Kevin Newman Cup. Tiger Tara led throughout to brilliantly win last week’s Victoria Cup with Majordan having little luck from a back row draw and finishing seventh. - HRNZ

Bocce to resume

Monbet with regular driver Ricky May in the sulky.

Hope and his wife Nina pulled Monbet out of the Dominion, New Zealand’s richest trotting race on November 17, because they believe they couldn’t get enough competitive miles into his legs in time for the gutbusting 3200m.

“And we want to do the right thing by the horse.

“He has won it before and it is a long season so we didn’t want to rush him.”

A G’s White Socks is improving steadily after his weird setback on Sunday and has accepted for Monday’s Flying Stakes at Ashburton and looks 90 per cent likely to start.

“What happened last Sunday was very strange.

“I actually worked him the morning of the race and he was great then we put him away for a while before taking him to the races.

“During that break I think he must have slipped and hurt himself a little bit.

“There was no sign of it at the races until he started to warm up and we had to pull him off the track.

“But I am confident that we are over all that now and we can still get the racing into him he needs to run in the New Zealand Cup.”

Monday’s 2400m stand looks the most important New Zealand Cup lead-up of the season so far with many of the big names headlined by Dream About Me (barrier 1), Eamon Maguire (2), Ultimate Machete (7) and Star Galleria (8), with A G’s White Socks to start from barrier nine if he makes the race.

In the Flying Mile for the trotters at Ashburton, Harriet Of Mot (barrier 2, but likely to start in one) and Great Things Happen (likely barrier 2) have got the best of the draws in what has traditionally been New Zealand’s fastest open class trotting mile event.

■ CAULFIELD CUP

Dream draw for Caulfield favourite The dream run in 2018 of the once little-known former English galloper Kings Will Dream continued at yesterday’s barrier draw for tomorrow’s Caulfield Cup when he came up with the ideal barrier of six.

“We were hoping for something between barriers four and eight so six is ideal,” managing part-owner Brad Spicer told Racing.com.

“It continues the faultless preparation this horse has had and let’s hope it can keep going for a few more days.

“He’s come a long way in a short time.

“We had him earmarked for a Geelong Cup this spring but he’s just put himself into the picture and we go into the race with a great barrier and some confidence.”

Kings Will Dream reclaimed favouritism for the race following the draw, firming into $5 with some bookmakers while Chris Waller’s mare Youngstar, who also drew reasonably well in 10, eased half a point to $5.50.

Such has been the trouble-free run of Kings Will Dream since his Australian debut in January at Warrnambool in a lowly Bench-

Don’t forget about us, says top Kiwi hoop James McDonald, who rides The Taj Mahal in tomorrow’s Caulfield Cup.

mark 64 that even though he is winless in four runs this spring, his form at weight-for-age level has surpassed expectations.

Spicer said such was the easy ride so far for connections, he could only lament the wait they’ve had to endure since the horse claimed a ballot-free run into the Cup via his Mornington Cup win in March.

“But we’re here now and things couldn’t have gone smoother,” he said.

The sole New Zealand-trained

horse in the race Jon Snow was not so well treated in the draw, coming up with barrier 15.

That is less than ideal for a horse whose best performances have been when he races on the speed.

And he also appears to not have been kindly treated by the Melbourne weather.

Jon Snow won last year’s ATC Derby in Sydney on a wet track and would appear to need more rain to bring the track into the easy or soft range to be a winning

chance on Saturday.

But while rain and even storms were forecast for Melbourne as early as Tuesday night they hadn’t eventuated by late Wednesday and a revised forecast suggests any rain will be of minimal concern for the track and it is likely to race as good on Saturday.

But one superstar of racing not being put off by wide draws was champion Kiwi jockey James McDonald claiming the 19 drawn out for his mount The Taj Mahal did not rule the horse out of Saturday’s Cup. “It can be a funny old race,” McDonald said before declaring the horse will be in the race ‘up to his ears’ if he can find any luck from the gate.

Kerrin McEvoy, who won the Caulfield Cup 10 years ago for Godolphin aboard All The Good, echoed McDonald’s thoughts about the unpredictability of the Caulfield Cup. “It’s a different race to ride in than any other race during the year,” he noted, saying he was pleased with the barrier 10 drawn by his mount Youngstar as it meant all options were open coming to the crucial turn out of the straight.

Stakes-placed galloper Bocce is set to resume on Saturday in the Faulkner Drainage 3YO at Rotorua and has won a trial to fit him for his return to racing. Trained by Mike Moroney and Pam Gerard, Bocce was a debut winner before finishing third to Champion Two-YearOld Avantage in the Listed Karaka Million and fourth in the Sistema Stakes. He won his trial well recently at Cambridge and came on for it,” Gerard said. “He’s coming back from a pretty hard two-year-old season, but we’re happy with him and he’s still got plenty of improvement in him.”

Hall chooses Lincoln Just before Gary Hall Jr heads to NZ with Chicago Bull, he’s popped back home for tonight’s Gloucester Park meeting. And he had a big decision to make with his drive in the feature race, the $50,000 Group 2 Mount Eden Sprint. Hall Jr had to choose between King Of Swing for his father, Gary Hall Sr, and the exciting Rocknroll Lincoln for trainer Justin Prentice. To the surprise of many, Hall Jr went with the barrier draw and opted for Rocknroll Lincoln from gate two.

Hall Jr then heads back to Auckland to prepare Chicago Bull for his race at Alexandra Park on Friday week.

Charles ready to run A bright and content Charles Road is poised to enhance his Melbourne Cup claims with a bold run in Saturday’s Coongy Cup, according to Matamata trainer Lance O’Sullivan.

O’Sullivan, who trains the five-yearold in partnership with Andrew Scott, flew to Melbourne on Thursday to oversee the final preparations for the Coongy, which could yet serve as the Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) placed stayer’s lead-up run into next month’s Melbourne Cup at Flemington. “If he runs up to his best, he’s going to be very competitiive.” - NZME

In brief

■ RUGBY

Cullen ‘not a haka guy’ All Blacks great Christian Cullen has opened up about life in the spotlight in a candid interview with World Rugby.

In the video, the 58-test fullback reveals he was most nervous about performing the haka ahead of his debut test as he’s “not a big haka guy”.

His debut test – as a 20-yearold against Samoa in Napier in 1996 – proved challenging but not for obvious reasons, Cullen said.

“I had just come off the sevens [circuit] which was helpful, because [Eric] Rush was there, Jonah [Lomu] was there ... those boys were in the ABs. “For me, a young kid from Paekakariki, it was quite intimidating. When we were coming through it was still a lot of that old-school mentality.

“You had to earn respect and work your way up,” Cullen said.

“You sit in that change room and you get your jersey.

“I was probably more nervous about the haka more than anything in that first game.

“It wasn’t about the game because, I guess, if you’re there you’re there for a reason, you can play.

“It was probably more about I’m not a big haka guy so it was probably the most nervous [I’ve been].

“Once the haka’s gone you’re into it and it ended up being a pretty good start.”

Cullen scored a total of 46 test tries, establishing himself as one of the leading scorers in the game before his last appearance on the international stage in Paris in 2002.

He says playing with Lomu at the Hurricanes and the All Blacks was a particular highlight.

“I just had an attacking mindset and our team at the time – we had Tana [Umaga] and obviously Jonah was down at the Hurricanes with us.

“We were all just free-spirited and played like that and once you get to the All Blacks, obviously

Big ban for Kaino Former All Blacks loose forward Jerome Kaino has been hit with a five-week ban following a dangerous tackle charge. Kaino was initially given a yellow card and cited following the shoulder charge on Welsh centre Jamie Roberts in a game between Bath and Toulouse.

The 81-test veteran pleaded not guilty to the charge and was hit with a lengthy ban. “The committee upheld the citing complaint as it determined that Kaino had committed an act of foul play that warranted a red card,” tournament organisers European Professional Club Rugby said.

Scotland picks Thomson Former Hurricanes flanker Blade Thomson has been fast-tracked into the Scotland rugby squad for their autumn internationals.

Thomson, now plying his trade at Scarlets, is one of three new caps in coach Gregor Townsend’s squad.

He had previously played for the New Zealand under-20s and endured a run of shoulder injuries.

Scotland faces Wales, Fiji, South Africa and Argentina in the coming weeks.

Foley signs one-year deal Wallabies playmaker Bernard Foley has signed a new contract but only to the end of next year’s Rugby World Cup. A veteran of 64 tests, 29-year-old Foley has kept his options open beyond that. While Michael Cheika expressed confidence that Foley won’t be lost to a rich overseas club contract, he also talked about him leaving a legacy.

“I’m very happy that Bernard has signed on but I don’t believe this will be his final year in Australian rugby,” Cheika said.

- AAP All Blacks’ superstar Christian Cullen and his parents after his debut test against Samoa in 1996. you’ve got a pretty good forward pack in front of you and you get those opportunities to do that.

“With Jonah and Jeff [Wilson], we had some handy players.”

Cullen played in the midfield during the All Blacks’ failed World Cup campaign in 1999.

He had a strained relationship with former All Blacks coach John Mitchell and was controversially dropped for the 2003 World Cup.

LOCHORE CUP

Cullen quit Wellington for Munster in Ireland soon after but following four injury-plagued seasons was forced to hang up his boots late in 2007.

“There are a few things in my career I would loved to have done.

“The [1999] World Cup, playing at centre wasn’t my favourite position.

“I would have loved to go in and play fullback,” Cullen said.

“But back then you pretty much played where you were told and what’s best for the team.

“I would’ve played anywhere just to get on the field.

“The other thing for me is I would’ve loved to get to 100 games for the Hurricanes.

“I got to 85 and another couple seasons there would’ve been good.

“There are probably three regrets but it is what it is.” - NZME

Chemo for Nasi Manu Former Highlanders captain Nasi Manu will undergo chemotherapy after it’s been revealed he has a form of urological cancer. Manu, now playing for Italian club Benetton, has been out for the last few months with what was initially described as an unspecified accident. But a tumour was found and operated on in August. He was discharged for a period of convalescence, but earlier this week had further medical checks and blood tests which highlighted the need to start a chemo cycle.

■ SOFTBALL

In brief

Softball centre of attention Mid Canterbury Softball officials have been in full swing for the past few weeks putting all their planning energy into a special event to be held over the long weekend.

The association is officially 40 this year and in order to celebrate the milestone, there is a special anniversary weekend being held over three days which will see a number of former players return to the fold to mark the occasion.

David Waaka, who is part of the organising group, said that preparations were going well and now it was a case of just waiting for people to turn up.

“The response has been great and the weather is looking good for us, so hopefully we have a great weekend,” he said.

Waaka said there were some coming from as far as Australia for the event.

The weekend begins with a social get together tonight at the Ashburton Club and MSA from 7pm.

On Saturday morning, normal softball will be being held but then on Saturday afternoon those who are part of the anniversary will be heading to Hampstead for the afternoon to take part in a few games.

“Hopefully we are going to have enough for about four teams and we’ll just play some one-hour games which will be great.”

The celebrations will wrap up on Sunday with a barbecue from lunchtime, giving everyone a chance to catch up again.

Waaka said registrations were still open for anyone interested. The weekend registration was $20 per person and anyone wishing to be a part of the significant milestone for the Mid Canterbury Softball association could contact David on 0273519769.

Softball will be the focus at Hampstead this weekend.

Full house for test Australia’s historic first rugby league test against Tonga in Auckland has sold out. After less than 13,000 fans attended last week’s clash between the Kangaroos and New Zealand, the NRL have confirmed the 30,000seat stadium was booked out.

“The level of interest in this game has been staggering so it will be great to see the house full sign up outside Mt Smart Stadium this Saturday,” NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said.

Peachey set to spark Tyrone Peachey says he is ready to stake his claim for a Kangaroos debut after admitting he was devastated to be overlooked for the side that lost to New Zealand last week. Peachey was again named in the No.18 jumper for Australia for Saturday’s historic clash with Tonga, with Luke Keary at five-eighth despite suffering a concussion during the loss to the Kiwis. Keary will be monitored throughout the week, with Peachey on standby to come onto the bench if Ben Hunt replaces the Sydney Roosters No.6. “I suppose I have that x-factor coming off the bench and with what happened on the weekend with a few players going down, I think that I’ve got a few positions covered,” he said.

For years, Stanton looked like someone the Miami Marlins could build a competitive team around. One of the league’s elite power hitters, Stanton was locked away on a massive deal in 2016.

He repaid the team the following year with the best season of his career, earning National League MVP honours in 2017.

However, the 28-year-old was traded to the New York Yankees ahead of the 2018 season, as Miami looked to rebuild and shed his mammoth contract.

Neymar – Joined Paris Saint-Germain on a five-year, $NZ390m deal.

Scoring 68 goals in 123 appearances for Barcelona since joining the side in 2013, Neymar showed he had the talent to compete with the world’s best footballers on a nightly basis.

In doing so, he grabbed the attention of the high-rolling Paris Saint-Germain club, who broke out their cheque book to secure his services.

James Harden – contract extended to receive $NZ347m from the Houston Rockets over six years Remember when the Oklahoma City Thunder traded James Harden because they didn’t want to fork out big offers for both he and forward Serge Ibaka?

The Houston Rockets had no issue in giving the star guard big deals in 2012 and

Giancarlo Stanton has signed a $470m deal with the Miami Marlins 2016, and then extending it last season.

On top of the two years he had remaining on his deal, the Rockets and Harden agreed to a four-year extension in last season which lifted his total contract to a six-year deal making the reigning league MVP the highest paid player in NBA history.

Aaron Rodgers – contract extended to receive $NZ274m from the Green Bay Packers over six years In a similar case to that of Harden, Rodgers was signed to a record-breaking extension which pushed the time remaining on his contract out to six years, including the 2018 season.

The contract will keep the Green Bay superstar in Wisconsin until the end of the 2023 season, and will likely mean he’ll play out his career as a one team man. - NZME

It was confirmed yesterday that Czech Tomas Berdych will make his first visit to Auckland in 2019, after a stellar career. He has been ranked as high as number four, and has been remarkably consistent. Berdych is one of only three players to have beaten all members of the ‘big four’ (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray) at grand slams, with the others being Jo Wilfried Tsonga and Stan Wawrinka.

■ OPINION

Team-mates rights over-ride right to privacy

By Chris rattue

T

here’s a giant hole in that just-released cycling report, and probably only one person who can fill it.

Who was the female athlete involved in an alleged relationship with coach Anthony Peden?

We, the taxpayers, have got a right to know.

It was all very modern and a little bit quaint, that titillating investigation into what had gone wrong within the New Zealand cycling programme.

There was bullying, and there was also sex.

On one hand, the investigation found that in his role as sprint coach Peden had transgressed by either initiating or not discouraging an alleged “inappropriate” intimate/sexual relationship with a female athlete.

On the other hand, the woman involved doesn’t get named,

which is very old fashioned, like she needs protecting, can’t stand up for herself, was somehow taken advantage of, did nothing really wrong.

I’m sure this isn’t a surprise to anyone, but sex in sport is hardly new.

It’s been going on for a while.

However, sex between an athlete and a coach is, with little doubt, uncommon.

A contributing reason is that most coaches and players are of the same gender, and homosexuality is not the dominant form of sexual preference.

So the odds of it happening are relatively small.

And there are certainly reasons why team coach-athlete relationships are wrong, principally the enormous chance they create charges of favouritism and lead to divisions.

But consenting adults will do all sorts of things.

That’s life, and the Olympics for example have always generated a lot of heat away from the heat of the battle.

People thrown into intense situations can do the craziest things – the movie world is full of trysts on film sets.

What I can’t work out is why the athlete isn’t named.

The inference is that Peden had all the power as coach, so somehow the woman was a victim.

She apparently has this right to privacy as a current cycling employee.

I’m just not buying any of that, particularly as team-mates may have rightly felt the athlete had established a form of unhealthy power over them.

For starters, identifying the woman will prevent other athletes being wrongly implicated.

Her identity will be an open secret in cycling circles anyway.

As much as you can argue that

a coach wields power, you can also argue that an athlete might be attracted to it.

Maybe they just fancied each other.

We’re talking two adults here, both of whom need to take equal responsibility.

The idea that you can pin down who initiated a relationship is often a nonsense.

For us to blindly accept that any such relationship contains a one-way “power imbalance” – as the report alludes to – is pretty naive.

Sexual power can work in all sorts of directions not reliant on job descriptions.

I also feel a patronising attitude to women comes across in all of this; of strong men in suits looking after a weak damsel in distress.

Hey people – women are strong, clever, independent, know right from wrong, can fall to

temptation, can be manipulative, make mistakes, like sex, initiate sex, can take responsibility.

In my view, entering a relationship with your coach is – potentially – disrespectful and even harmful to team-mates.

In the absence of being indentified as Peden has been, I’d strongly encourage the woman to come forward, tell her side of the story, remove the clouds over other people, let us better judge if our money was mis-spent.

She will win a lot of respect by doing so.

Asking the tax-paying public to rely totally on a report isn’t good enough, quite frankly.

What happened may not be right, but these things happen in life.

We’re not robots. But we want a fuller picture.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You know what you must do but you just don’t feel like it. And getting your feelings aligned in the direction of your goals isn’t quite as easy as you’d like, but if you can do this, you can do anything.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Relationships should not be left unattended for too long. They are like gardens that, untended, will grow in strange directions or not at all. You care, so you’ll put the time in to make a thing beautiful.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It is each person’s responsibility to fill up the emotional tank.

Today you need physical exercise, professional fulfilment and interesting hobbies that will contribute significantly to your well-being.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The luckiest thing you can do today is go where you’ve never been. Don’t wait for someone you know to join you.

Something as simple as breathing different air will make a big difference to your mood.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Don’t be surprised if getting what you want doesn’t stop the yearning. It’s just a sign that it wasn’t what you wanted after all. Strive to understand, in the deepest way, what you really need.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): People show and feel caring differently. The closer these match up, the happier the relationship will be. Chances are, someone is caring for you in ways you don’t recognise as care.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The outside world will feel like a dream but if this doesn’t suit, turn to your inside world which is where you’ll feel most awake. There, discovery awaits you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It would be nice to wake up full of confidence, but it doesn’t always work that way. For instance, today it works like this: Someone believes in you and then you start believing in yourself more, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): People will inspire you with their stories and maybe you’ll even start a programme based on the inspiration.

Things will happen differently because every person’s journey is different. Focus on yours.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It will be lucky to stimulate your mind with challenges not found at home.

You don’t know what exactly these challenges will be, and you don’t have to seek them. Go out into the world and they’ll be there for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re due an apology.

Even though many of the mistakes made were unintentional, you still feel a deficit _ like something has to be made right. Until this happens, there’s a sense of being incomplete.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You take pleasure in the happiness of others. You prefer to do this in person, as even the prettiest picture on social media can be secretly unhappy. You want to see the joy for yourself.

FUTURE STARS ON THE COURT

Tyler Leonard is a local player to watch in this year’s Ashburton Trust Junior Open.

Aspiring young tennis players from around the South Island will converge on Ashburton this weekend for a big annual tennis tournament.

The Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre is set to once again play host to the Ashburton Trust Junior Open, an annual tournament that

takes place at Labour Weekend and attracts young players from near and far.

Players will take to the court in 10, 12, 14 and 16 age groups, with play getting under way on Saturday and continuing in to Sunday.

The first finals are likely to take

to the court late Sunday and the remainder on Monday.

Tournament director Ahmad Abdul-Rahman said the tournament had attracted around 130 players, with the biggest entries being in the 14s category.

After a couple of years where entry numbers had dropped, Ab-

dul-Rahman said this year it had gone the other way, with entries up on previous years.

“There’s been considerable effort from my side of things to try and invoke a local drive.

“That’s been successful, and I think there’s been some other factors in there as well – success

attracts success,” Abdul-Rahman said.

A number of promising young locals will feature in the tournament, with Riley Breen and Josh Gilbert among the Mid Canterbury players to watch in the 10 year age grade, and Tyler Leonard in the 14s.
