The Rakaia makes its fury felt BY SUSAN SANDYS
SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Blustery northerly winds hit Mid Canterbury yesterday, but the district escaped the worst of a weather system impacting other areas of the country. While the MetService had urged Mid Cantabrians to be cautious as winds gusting at 110 kilometres and more could hit the district, yesterday’s highest gust in Ashburton was a mere 59km/h, from the south-west. Winds were forecast to ease overnight. This speed is nowhere near the Ashburton area’s highest ever wind gust, recorded in the ferocious 1975 wind storm, of 153.8km/h at Winchmore, on August 1. The second highest was recorded in the 2013 windstorm, 128km/h, on September 10 at Ashburton. Even Mt Hutt, which takes the meaning of wind gusts to a whole new level, remained relatively calm on the weather front yesterday. Mt Hutt Skifield spokesman James Urquhart said a meter on the mountain measured 205km/h and then clicked out, probably due to a small amount of snow freezing it.
“These winds are normal for Hutt anytime during the year, so nothing really exciting,” Urquhart said. At 3pm, EA Networks reported no power issues due to the blustery conditions, however, the council’s resource recovery park was closed. High rainfall in the alps caused rapidly rising river levels and at 7.35am the Rakaia River peaked at the gorge at 3180 cubic metres per second, a flow which is expected to occur on average every five years. It was the highest level since January 2, 2013, when a peak flow of 5245 cubic metres per second was recorded at this site. The Rangitata River flow at Klondyke peaked at about 900 cubic metres per second yesterday, a flow which is expected to occur on average every two years. Rakaia Gorge camping ground manager Di Murray said yesterday morning the river was “raging” at the gorge. Many sightseers were stopping to look over the bridge at the wild waters, and “high pressure waves” were a spectacular sight to see. “It’s absolutely amazing,” she said.

Environmental activists want coal left in the hole By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Environmental activists are converging upon Ashburton over the weekend to take a stand against the dairy industry. Coal Action Network Aotearoa (CANA) is holding its annual Summerfest in the town and have entitled it Coal, Cows and Climate. About 50 environmentalists from throughout New Zealand will be staying at the Tinwald Domain, holding meetings, training for non-violent action, and may stage a protest on Sunday or Monday. Speakers will include CANA member and former Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons, veterinarian and agro-ecology consultant Alison Dewes and Greenpeace water campaigner Genevieve Toop. CANA wants New Zealand to phase out the use of coal and says Fonterra is among the worst offenders. However, Fonterra has pointed the finger back at CANA, highlighting inaccurate figures on its website. CANA says 95 per cent of Fonterra’s milk is made into powder for export, a process which requires the use of coal,
while Fonterra says in fact 95 per cent of Fonterra’s milk products are exported, only one of which is milk powder. Fonterra uses coal at a third of its manufacturing sites, the majority in the South Island where there is not the option of natural gas. Chief operating officer global operations Robert Spurway said like CANA it was conscious of the impacts that all industries had on emissions. “We have had ongoing dialogue with CANA over recent years and understand and share their position on coal. We too believe a transition away from coal will be the only sustainable future for dairy production,” he said. CANA group member Cindy Baxter said there had also been strong interest from local groups such as Bung the Bore for the Ashburton gathering. While CANA’s focus was coal, it had widened the topic of the Summerfest to also include other dairy environmental concerns. Baxter said dairying contributed to climate change not only through Fonterra’s use of coal, but also through the output of methane and use of palm kernel. • See climate crisis story, P5
Ashburton could see a similar protest at the weekend.
■ BLACK-BILLED GULLS
Woman catches youths abusing gulls By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Information on youths throwing stones at rare breeding gulls in the Ashburton River bed is being referred to police. Please note: Faces are blurred to protect the identity of the youths. PHOTOS SUPPLIED
Critically-endangered gulls, too young to fly, huddled together in the Ashburton River bed as youths threw stones at them on Tuesday. Environment Canterbury biodiversity officer Donna Field said she was shocked at the actions of the three locals – two boys and a girl. She was visiting the colony of rare black-billed gulls at the State Highway 1 bridge when she came upon the incident. She shouted at the youths and they ran away, but she followed and managed to apprehend the trio. She spoke to them at the scene and phoned police. Police were unable to attend at the time, however, she was forwarding the
information she had to police. She was unsure whether any of the black-billed gulls, the world’s rarest gull, had been injured or killed. The incident caused the young gulls to move back towards the water, making them vulnerable to falling into the river. The incident is one of several this month which have plagued the blackbilled gull colony. Two youths rode a quad bike close by, there was a report of a group being nearby with a BB gun, and another of a group disturbing the birds and damaging a sign. The colony of about 2500 is expected to leave the riverbed in the next few weeks as the chicks get to the stage of flying. Disturbing the colony can attract fines of up to $100,000 or two years in prison.

■ ASHBURTON RESOURCE RECOVERY PARK
Anger at dump closure By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Mid Cantabrians wanting to dump their rubbish and recycling yesterday were frustrated to find the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park closed. The Ashburton District Council said the closure was due to strong winds, however, staff at a neighbouring waste organisation believe the council acted too quickly. Wastebusters was inundated with angry motorists, pulling up with trailer-loads of their rubbish and recycling. Spokesperson Brooke Sheridan said she and fellow staff had turned away about 15 people by 2.30pm. Wastebusters itself would close if it was really windy, but she did not think yesterday qualified as windy enough. “Some have come from as far away as Methven and Mayfield,” she said of the motorists who had pulled up. None had verbally abused Wastebusters staff, but many had been angry. Council waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin said the council was monitoring the park and would re-open when conditions improved.

There was no set wind speed at which the park closed. “Weather forecasts for Ashburton might not be the same as
up at the park. “We therefore monitor the conditions on site and if we find that wind is blowing materials
away and posing problems for visitors and staff, we close the park until conditions improve,” Goodwin said.
■ RESIDENT MEDICAL OFFICERS
Ashburton Hospital copes well with strike By Megan gnad
megan.g@theguardian.co.nz
Robust contingency planning has meant Ashburton Hospital coped well with this week’s strike by members of the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association. The second round of industrial action, protesting unfair work hours, continued for 73 hours from 7am Tuesday and finishes at 8am today. Six Resident Medical Officers
(RMOs), who are members of the Resident Doctors’ Association, went on strike out of a total of eight employed at Ashburton Hospital. Ashburton Hospital health services manager Bernice Marra said there were no issues to report. “Our contingency planning to minimise disruption has worked well,” she said. “We would like to thank the
public who have had their outpatient appointments or surgery postponed because of the industrial action, for their ongoing support and understanding.” Eleven patients due to have outpatient appointments this week at Ashburton Hospital had their appointments postponed and rescheduled. Currently doctors can work up to 12 days in a row or 10 consecutive nights, and a shift can last up
to 16 hours. The New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association is asking for the maximum consecutive days to be lowered to 10 and night shifts lowered to four. During the strike days, the public was advised to call their usual general practice number for care around the clock. The Canterbury DHB employs about 533 Resident Medical Officers and understands about 75 per cent are RDA members.

Free ticket proves golden One bonus has turned into a much bigger one for a Christchurch couple now $624,922 richer. The couple had won a bonus ticket of a free line of Strike with a Lotto ticket bought in November – and it turned out to carry the lucky numbers in Saturday night’s draw. The woman who purchased the original ticket, and who wished to remain anonymous, found out she’d won when her husband checked their ticket in bed just before turning in for the night. “He’d written down all the winning numbers and was in bed checking them off on our ticket when all of a sudden he just sprang out of bed and said ‘Oh my God’,” said the winner. “I just replied, ‘Oooh, we haven’t won Lotto have we?’ I thought we might have won $400 if we were lucky. “The next thing I knew he was back at the computer double checking that he had written the numbers down correctly – he wouldn’t tell me anything until he was sure. “Then he gave me the ticket to check and all I kept thinking was this can’t be true – it was so surreal. “We didn’t get a wink of sleep that night.” The couple had won bonus Strike tickets before, but had never paid them much thought. “You certainly never think you’ll win big with that one little line. Even now I still can’t believe it.” With the money now safely in the winners’ bank account, the couple have celebrated their win with their immediate family. “The evening after we won we went out for a family dinner and splashed out on some champagne to celebrate. “To be honest it hasn’t really sunk in yet.” The winning ticket was purchased from Unichem Bishopdale Pharmacy on January 14. – NZME

Massive slip closes SH 73 State Highway 73 through Arthur’s Pass was closed Wednesday night due to numerous and substantial slips. One of the slips saw debris strewn across the road and into the Taramakau River, blocking traffic in both directions. All but one of the main roads into Greymouth were closed yesterday after the promised weather bomb hit Wednesday night, prompting late-night flood meetings and stranding motorists and trucks. Only SH6 south of Hokitika was open, with occasional surface flooding. A slip just north of Barrytown closed the Coast Road, which opened and closed several times. It was closed again just before noon yesterday due to severe flooding at Wingham Park and Coal Creek, cutting off Runanga township. The weather kicked up a gear about 9pm Wednesday, after a lull, as the first thunderstorm rolled in. Metservice recorded 209 lightning strikes over Westland. Rotomanu farmer Katie Milne recorded 136mm of rain in 24 hours and she was told Inchbonnnie got over 200mm, plus very strong winds of over 100km/h. Greymouth was soaked with 84.2mm and Hokitika with 85.6mm, but Arthur’s Pass had a staggering 307.4mm. DOC Arthur’s Pass ranger Chris Stewart said several trucks were stuck in the village, in between slips on both sides. “There’s a big blowout at Wardens Creek. The rocks are right across the road. They’ve not been able to get to it yet (but) they’ve bigger problems at Otira.” Trucks were also stuck at Otira, in between slips. Otira resident Gillian MacDougall said one slip was brought down across the highway about 11.30pm Wednesday. “There has been no one to clear it as we are blocked in on
either side,” MacDougall said. SH7, between Greymouth and Reefton, was closed by deep floodwater at the Stillwater underpass, and the TaylorvilleBlackball Road was only accessible to 4WD vehicles yesterday morning. Lewis Pass reopened to one lane about 10am yesterday. A slip closed the road between Murchison and Westport, from the intersection with SH65 through to the intersection with SH67. Amid fears with the rising Grey River, the Grey Flood Committee met in Greymouth after midnight and again at 5.30am. The river peaked about 8.30am yesterday but remained high for hours afterwards. The concrete flood barriers were erected across Preston Road at 4am but were not needed. West Coast Regional Council chief executive Mike Meehan said a hydrology team closely monitored river levels throughout the region during Wednesday night, and yesterday continued to monitor the Buller, Mokihinui and Karamea rivers and tributaries. “I’m encouraging all Coasters, and visitors to our region, to be aware of the warnings that have been issued and to keep up to date with any new information that may come out, this includes road information from the NZTA website and Metservice weather warnings,” Meehan said. Westpower chief executive Rob Caldwell said only small pockets of consumers were without power in a number of areas. West Coast police prevention manager sergeant Vicki Walker said police staff were out and about “all night”. “We had to move all of the freedom campers, who had set up beside the Cobden Bridge, as the Grey River was rising due to the heavy rain,” Walker said. However, police were unaware of any serious incidents. -NZME
Railway Footbridge.

Heritage NZ renames footbridge By Megan gnad
megan.g@theguardian.co.nz
Heritage New Zealand has adjusted the name and extent of the Ashburton Railway Footbridge, in line with the demolition of the station building in 2013. The list entry was previously the ‘Ashburton Railway Station and Footbridge’ but this has been changed by the board to ‘Railway Footbridge’. Following a review, the extent will now be for the area just around the footbridge, rather than the whole site, taking effect as of today. The iconic footbridge, with its bowstring truss, spans the railway lines between East and West Streets, just north of Wills Street. Constructed in 1917, it is a key surviving feature from the Ashburton Railway Station complex, following the demolition of the main station building. It represents a structure once common throughout New Zealand, but now rare with only a
very small number of such railway footbridges still in existence, all differing slightly in the number of spans used and the design of the bracing. In a review completed by Heritage New Zealand, it was reported that in 2002, the passenger train service stopped altogether and the station building was demolished in 2013. “However, the railway line itself continues to be used by freight trains and the Railway Footbridge remains a well-used public amenity, despite the loss of the station building itself,” the review states. “The Railway Footbridge has historical significance … it is a tangible survivor of a place that demonstrated the pre-eminent role played by the railways throughout New Zealand. “The Railway Footbridge is associated with an era when railways were New Zealand’s dominating means of transport, an important aspect of the country’s history. “This particular place is illus-
trative of the structures built from the end of the First World War, when the rail system was being greatly developed. “The Railway Footbridge is now a key railway heritage survivor at Ashburton.” In addition to the Ashburton Railway Footbridge, six other surviving bowstring truss railway footbridges include, the Greymouth Railway Station Footbridge, Oamaru Railway Station Footbridge, Dunedin Railway Station Footbridge, Woburn no. 1 and Woburn no. 2 footbridges, Feilding Railway Station footbridge (now known as the Makino Footbridge). Papakura’s bowstring railway footbridge was demolished in 2007, The Huntly Railway Station Footbridge was relocated to Helensville Railway Station in about 1993, and The Point Resolution bowstring bridge, which crossed the railway line at Parnell Baths, Auckland, was completely replaced by a modern structure in the 2000s.

CIA kept tabs on New Zealand 1980s and New Zealand’s ban on nuclear- armed warships. The CIA reports said a Labour government would project its anti-nuclear stance throughout the South Pacific, which would inhibit the movement of the US naval fleet, which was 40 per cent nuclear-powered at the time. However, there do not appear to be any publicly available reports on public servant William Sutch, who was acquitted of being a Soviet spy after being seen handing a package to a Soviet embassy official outside a public toilet in Wellington. A 1987 reports notes that despite New Zealand’s ban on nucleararmed ships, the country was unlikely to warm to Soviet overtures as its activities increased in the South Pacific. There is also a report on growing racial tensions between European and Maori in the late 1980s. “Although the risk of racial violence is small, tensions are likely to increase as the slumping economy swells unemployment among the Maori, and as public resentment builds against Maori demands.” -NZN
Govt must tackle climate crisis: Greens Last year broke the record for the hottest year on earth. The previous hottest year was 2015. Before that it was 2014. Extreme weather and figures like that are, according to the Green Party, a sign of things to come if action isn’t taken to halt a climate crisis. Dry conditions across Northland combined with devastating storms rolling through the upper South and lower North Islands are mirroring long-term climate change scenarios, coleader James Shaw says.

The United States’ spy agency kept tabs on New Zealand’s exposure to communism in the latter half of last century but didn’t think it would take hold here. The Central Intelligence Agency has released about 13 million pages of declassified documents following lengthy efforts by freedom of information advocates in the US. Nearly 4000 documents, from the latter half of last century, contain some reference to New Zealand and are made up of either CIA reports or news clippings. Some information is redacted. Some of the references are passing or unexplainable, such as an official report on the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, which says CIA radio broadcasts prompted a flood of requests from New Zealand for prizes of ballpoint pens. An earlier 1949 briefing says the New Zealand Communist Party had less than 1000 members and its influence was small, largely confined to the unions. A number of the files cover the Rainbow Warrior bombing and fallout, the Labour government’s economic reforms of the

“The science tells us it’s probable that we’ll see more violent storms and more frequent, deeper droughts because of climate change,” he said. Drought conditions like those in Northland, where farmers have receive half their annual rainfall, are hurting the economy and food supplies. And politicians, who spend large amounts of time in the capital, should be extra concerned with Wellington particularly vulnerable because of a combination of rising seas and
more intense storms, according to Mr Shaw. The Green Party wants to combat the climate crisis by moving to 100 per cent renewable electricity, investing in clean-energy transport and making sure climate polluters pay for emissions. “All governments have a moral responsibility to ensure that the next generation doesn’t inherit a more volatile climate and unstable world,” Mr Shaw said. - NZN

Boy flown to hospital A 2-year-old boy was flown to hospital after he ate up to 50 ibuprofen pills on Great Barrier Island on Wednesday evening. Paramedic Stefan Gabor said the boy had been left in a car for a short time alone around 7pm. When his mum came back he had a “chalky mouth” and had gotten into Nurofen and Clonazepam, a drug used to treat anxiety. His mum knew how much medication was gone and estimated he could have had up to 50 tablets. She took him to a Claris medical centre and the doctor called the Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Gabor said that even though the boy was in quite a good mood he was in serious condition due to the amount of medicine he had potentially consumed. “We transported him to Starship Hospital. “He was happy, he liked the flight. He was looking around sitting on mum’s lap with his toys in his hands. “He was in a serious condition because of the potential amount of medication he had. [His] mum was pretty sure how many were missing. He had enough to be a cause of concern.” The boy is now in a stable condition. -NZME
Couple swept down flooded river
Que Langdon, with her mother, Ariane Wyler.
Yachtie’s daughter returns to NZ A young girl taken to Australia by her father, sparking a monthlong search by police in New Zealand and overseas, has returned home with her mother. Que Langdon, six, spent a month on a six-metre catamaran with her father Alan Langdon. The pair were last seen in New Zealand on December 17, prompting wide scale searches. Langdon and his daughter were located by authorities in Australia last week. He has been charged by New Zealand police with illegally taking his daughter out of the country.
The 49-year-old, who has remained in Australia, has a court date in Te Awamutu District Court next week. Que touched down at Auckland airport with her mother on Thursday morning. “I’m very happy to be reunited and I look forward to spending some quality time with my daughter,” Ariane Wyler told reporters on their return. The little girl, who was born in Palau but is an Australian citizen, clutched a teddy bear and hid shyly behind her mother while she spoke to waiting media. Wyler was reunited with her
daughter in Ulladulla on Sunday after 22 months apart. Child recovery expert Col Chapman, who was hired by Wyler, helped her take back her daughter. “It was beautiful, like something off TV. Que couldn’t believe that her mother materialised out of nowhere ... there was tears, they were both crying,” Chapman told NZ Newswire of the reunion. Langdon reportedly responded by travelling to Melbourne to file court documents seeking that Que be allowed to remain with him in Australia. - NZN
A Swedish couple have survived a terrifying ordeal after they were swept down a flooded South Island river. Maritime New Zealand posted details of the dramatic incident, and subsequent rescue, on its Facebook page yesterday. The Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand co-ordinated the rescue from a flooded river flat in the Southern Alps. The couple had set off their emergency beacon after being swept down the flooded Hawdon River, Maritime New Zealand wrote. “The man managed to get out of the river but the woman was swept 300m downstream before washing up on a small island. RCCNZ identified a break in the weather and Garden City Helicopters made the rescue. “The helicopter crew plucked the severely hypothermic woman from the middle of the river before taking both to Christchurch for medical assessment.” A fast notification from the new Meosar beacon detection system and quick action by the centre and helicopter crew led to the successful rescue, Maritime New Zealand wrote. -NZME

OUR VIEW
Be vigilant when on the farm Megan Gnad
NEWS CO-ORDINATOR
A
nother tragic farming accident this week in the South Island is a reminder for vigilance when out working on the land. It’s heart-breaking and shocking to hear about the loss of a young farmer in North Otago, and a recent near-miss accident by a farm worker in Fairlie. While details of the North Otago incident are yet to emerge and is being thoroughly investigated by WorkSafe New Zealand, it is no secret that accidents can – and do – happen at any time. Our farmers work through so many variables every second of every day that the risks often seem never-ending. Of course, they have a job to do and we can’t wrap everyone in cotton wool, but when tragedy does strike, its effect, and trickledown impact on the community, is immense. A handy tool to know about is www.saferfarms.org.nz which offers helpful and practical guidelines for keeping safe on farms. As of April 4, 2016, health and safety legislation also changed, so make sure you are up-to-date with the new rules. The Government’s WorkSafe New Zealand initiative also provides helpful information, pointing out that 120 people died on farms between 2008 to 2014. They remind us that farms are environments where families live, work and play. Covering off safety surrounding everything from being careful on quadbikes and tractors, to water hazards and steering clear of dangerous agri-chemicals, it is a one-stop-shop for everything you need to be as prepared as possible. Seven children died as a result of an accident on a farm between 2013-2015. In the 12 years up until 2015, nearly 20,000 children were injured on the farm. WorkSafe New Zealand has made it clear too many are dying, being badly injured or becoming ill in the country’s workplaces and it’s twice as bad as Australia. Like anything, an accident is just that, an accident, and sometimes we’re faced with scenarios and issues entirely beyond our control that the best planning could not prevent. But a brush with tragedy, or a near-miss, should serve as a prompt that with awareness, knowledge and education, hopefully we can do our best to prevent tragedies occurring in the future. Stay safe out there!

Surely common-sense has to come into play soon W
e must be getting close to the point of the journey where we can go no further away so we have to head back towards the start. The journey I am talking about is the one taking us away from common-sense. I’m talking about the PC brigade taking things too far, as I believe they have done with the likes of banning bullrush at schools and a lot of the worksafe rules in place these days. It looks like the next thing will be banning kids from watching shows like Batman and Superman. A new study finds that kids who are “highly engaged” with superheroes are more likely to be aggressive. Researchers have evaluated levels of three types of aggression among preschoolers and kindergartners: Physical (hitting, kicking), relational (hurting others’ feelings) and verbal (name-calling). Results show that kids who are more engaged with superheroes are more likely to be physically and relationally aggressive. Also troubling to the tree huggers, I mean survey-takers, these kids are not found to be emulating superheroes in other ways, such as helping or defending others. The study suggests that, in early childhood, it may be difficult to distinguish the aggressive behaviours that superheroes demonstrate from the altruistic, pro-social behaviours. So what exactly does “more likely” mean? And won’t all kids this age at some stage show signs of aggression? Isn’t that when the kindy teachers and parents hop into action and teach the kids about what’s right? I wonder how much this survey cost and if the people responsible ever stopped for a moment and thought, this really is a load of crap, maybe we would be better off spending this money on a cancer cure? I think back to when I was a wee fella, when I was bitten on the arm on my first day of school, went home on the back of Mum’s

I was probably sat down in front of Batman until I felt a bit better about life, then went outside to play in my tree hut, which was built without scaffolding, a ladder and with no safety harnesses. I also drank water from the garden hose when I was thirsty! My parents are bloody lucky they didn’t get locked up! While on the subject of taking things too far, I came across this during the week: If you’d like to fill your veins with the blood of young people, you need only drain your bank account of $8000. That’s right, young blood is now joining the ever-growing ranks of “cures” that people are paying for to combat age-related diseases and even ageing itself. California-based company Ambrosia is trying to conduct a clinical trial testing the effects that blood from younger people (aged 16-to-25) has in older bodies and hopes to convince 600 people to each pay $8000 for a single 1.5-litre transfusion of plasma.

■ GAMBIA
Jammeh refuses to leave After more than two decades in power, Gambian President Yahya Jammeh faced the prospect of a military intervention by regional forces, as the man who once pledged to rule the West African nation for a billion years clung to power. After a midnight deadline set by the West African regional bloc to step down, there was no word from Jammeh. But Mauritania’s leader appeared to be making a last-ditch diplomatic effort, meeting with Jammeh and then flying to Senegal to meet with its leader and Gambia President-elect Adama Barrow. Earlier, a military commander with the regional bloc known as ECOWAS announced that troops were positioning along Gambia’s borders with Senegal. “The mandate of the president is finished at midnight,” declared Seydou Maiga Moro, speaking on Senegalese radio station RFM. “All the troops are already in place,” he added, saying they were merely waiting to see whether Jammeh would give in to international pressure to cede power to Barrow. As midnight approached, Jammeh met with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz on the crisis. The Mauritanian leader left
Kiwi star gets rave reviews
President Yahya Jammeh says there were irregularities in the Gambian election process and has refused to cede power. Gambia shortly before midnight, telling Gambia state television that “I am now less pessimistic (Jammeh) will work on a peaceful solution that is in the best interest for everyone.” He then went to the meeting at the Dakar airport in Senegal, state television there reported. Thousands of Gambians have fled the country, including some former cabinet ministers who resigned in recent days. Hundreds of foreign
tourists evacuated on special charter flights, though some continued to relax poolside despite the political turmoil. Gambia is a popular beach destination in winter, especially for tourists from Britain, the former colonial power. The downtown area of the Gambian capital, Banjul, was empty late Wednesday, with all shops closed. But there was no visible military presence apart from a checkpoint at the en-
trance to the city. Tiny Gambia is surrounded by Senegal and the Atlantic Ocean. Witnesses reported Senegalese soldiers deploying in the Senegalese Kaolack region, north of Gambia, and in the southern Senegalese region of Casamance. In another sign of the international pressure, Nigeria confirmed a warship was heading toward Gambia for “training,” - AP

Youth shoots teacher, classmates; kills self A 15-year-old student opened fire with a gun at a private school in Monterrey yesterday, hitting a teacher and two other students in the head before killing himself. Another student suffered lesser injuries in the shooting, which was captured on a video posted to social media. Nuevo Leon state Gov. Jaime Rodriguez said the shooter died at a hospital and the other three victims with head wounds were “fighting between life and death”. The boy wounded in the arm was out of danger.
A video, apparently from the school’s surveillance camera, shows a female teacher handing out materials and students seated at their desks when a boy opens fire with a pistol from a sitting position, hitting a boy sitting in front of him, who immediately slumps to the ground. He next shoots the teacher, who was looking in another direction, and she falls to the ground. The boy rises from his seat and walks around, firing shots at his classmates, before turning the gun on himself. His first shot apparently
misses his head, and then he runs out of bullets. The shooter runs to his backpack, apparently to reload, as his classmates cower at their desks. He appears to say something to the surviving students, who begin to rush for the door, and then he shoots himself in the head and falls to the ground. The crowded classroom was left with a jumble of overturned chairs, blood and fallen students. State security spokesman Aldo Fasci said four of the injured, including the shooter himself, had bullet wounds to
the head and were in extremely serious condition. He said the student shot the 24-yearold teacher, a 14-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy in the head, and a 15-year-old classmate in the arm. He then pointed the gun at classmates before shooting himself in the head. “The classes were going perfectly well, the student stands up from his desk and pulls out a gun,” Fasci said. Fasci said the shooter had been under treatment for depression, but that the motive was under investigation. - AP
Kiwi actor KJ Apa’s new show is about to premiere in the United States, and the first reviews are highly positive. Riverdale is a dark, sexy re-imagining of the classic Archie comics. Apa stars as Archie Andrews himself, who finds himself involved in a bit of a love square while also dealing with the death of a classmate. Reviews are beginning to trickle out, and the consensus seems to be that it is perfect television. Upon its premiere at Comic-Con last July, Nerdist described the show as “the best new drama of the season” and made note of how Archie had gotten hot.
George to be a dad George Clooney’s wife Amal is pregnant with twins, and has even learned that she will have a boy and a girl, according to Daily Mail Online in InTouch Weekly. That’s the claim from made by the magazine. The 38-year-old human rights lawyer and her 55-year-old Oscar-winning husband – who wed in 2014 – are thrilled with the news, it was added. This comes after the brunette beauty appeared to show off a bump in a floral dress at a screening for The White Helmets in London on January 9.

Killing suspect released from hospital Authorities asked the courts yesterday to deny bond for the suspect in last week’s fatal shooting of an Orlando police officer as he was hospitalised for most of the day with injuries he got during his arrest. An affidavit, filed with the Orange County Clerk of Courts a day after 41-year-old Markeith Loyd was arrested in an abandoned home, shows authorities want to make sure he remains in custody, as is
customary for a fugitive facing murder charges. Loyd was arrested after a manhunt that lasted more than a week. He is accused in the killing of Lt. Debra Clayton outside a Wal-Mart store last week and in the death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Sade Dixon, last month. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said Presidentelect Donald Trump had a phone conversation with
Clayton’s husband. Bondi described the conversation between Trump and Seth Clayton as “a brief, very touching, private conversation between two husbands”. Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said the arrest is bittersweet, noting that in addition to Clayton, a deputy in his agency, Norman Lewis, died in a traffic crash during the manhunt for Loyd. “I believe that our en-
tire community is going to breathe a sigh of relief at this point,” Demings said. “They will sleep better knowing tonight that ... this maniac is off the streets.” Loyd’s face was bloodied and swollen when he was taken to police headquarters, and he was hospitalised overnight. He remained in the hospital for most of the day until he was transferred to the Orange County Jail. - AP
MacGyver ditches mullet Even in a world brimming with reboots and remakes, the notion of a new MacGyver series is pretty loaded. Especially in a MacGyver-revering country like New Zealand. The many fans of the beloved late ’80s action adventure show will no doubt be further dismayed to hear that the new interpretation has altered a fundamental aspect of the famously resourceful main character. MacGyver (now played by X-Men star Lucas Till) no longer has a mullet. Ironically enough, the new MacGyver originally did sport the classic hairstyle. But the show’s mullet-ified pilot episode was poorly received and resulted in taking the scissors to Till’s flowing locks.

■ KRAFT BRANDS
Bega grabs flagship Kraft brands greater diversification to its existing dairy foods and nutritional businesses. “This acquisition will be value accretive in its own right, strategically important and company making,” executive chairman Barry Irvin said in a statement. “These iconic brands alongside the Bega brand are strong building blocks to enable Bega Cheese to become a great consumer goods business.” Australian dairy companies were caught off-guard by last year’s slump in global dairy prices when there were was a supply glut, although Bega managed to ride through the downturn, lifting annual revenue and more than doubling profit. Mondelez’s New Zealand operations include the Cadbury factory which was part of a global takeover in 2010. The local holding company posted a profit of $9.2m in calendar 2015 on revenue $291.3m, of which $68.3m of sales were to Mondelez Australia and $19.4m to Cadbury Enterprises. Bega’s ASX-listed shares jumped 8.7 per cent to $A4.87. - BusinessDesk

from Trump to increase fiscal spending, cut taxes and roll back regulations. Commentators have dubbed this the Trump Bump but are wondering whether the recent weakness could be described as the Trump Slump. Investors have also been subdued on the global scene as they await the start of the corporate earnings season. Following the Trump Bump, investors are looking for a solid earnings season and will be hoping for a positive outlook to support the high share prices. So far a handful of companies have reported, one of which was Netflix. The company’s result was outstanding with a 25 per cent increase in subscriber numbers in 2016. This in turn saw revenues rise 30 per cent and profits jump an extraordinary 50 per cent. Aftermarket trading saw the share price rise by more than 8 per cent. The latest Global Dairy trade auction, and the second of the year to date, saw a marginal rise in the average price of dairy of 0.6 per cent. Expectations were for a bigger increase than this as dairy futures were well higher prior to the auction. The last two auctions have yielded pricing declines. Disappointingly, whole milk powder

prices decreased by 0.1 per cent and volumes trended lower again. Commentators remain upbeat on the outlook for the dairy sector for 2017 with many believing that there will be further upside to the current forecast payout from Fonterra. The latest Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion has shown that business confidence remained high at the end of 2016 with a net 26 per cent of businesses expecting an improvement in economic conditions over the coming months. The survey indicated that the New Zealand economy will likely continue to gain momentum. Confidence was high across all sectors however confidence in the building sector remained highest, reflecting the construction boom. The latest REINZ housing report was also released this week and showed a drop in the median house price of $4000 for December. While Auckland house prices are still rising, they were doing so at a slower pace. Of the 12 regions in the report, five showed new record median sales prices while median house prices in Tauranga gained $130,000 over the year. The number of house sales were slightly lower than the previous year but the time taken to sell a house was also slightly less. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners.

t has been a mixed week for markets with investor sentiment waning in the lead up to several key political events. There has also been plenty of economic data to digest for markets including the latest global dairy trade auction in New Zealand. The first of the major political events that came into focus for investors was the much anticipated speech from the UK Prime Minister Theresa May. The speech outlined her approach for “Brexit” when the UK leaves the European Union. As was expected May called for a hard Brexit, giving the UK a clean break from the single market. Britain is determined to regain control of migration, and this was a key reason the vote to leave was successful. The nation will seek new trade deals with countries including New Zealand and Europe, however the final deal, which is not expected until 2019 would need to be voted on by both houses of Parliament in the UK. Immediately following the speech the pound strengthened against its major trading partners, causing the UK share market to decline sharply. The other major political event scheduled for this week is the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. There has been plenty of caution attributed to this event which is to be held Friday night in the US and Saturday NZ time. Since the election, markets have rallied making large gains on the back of election promises

Australian dairy company Bega Cheese will buy the bulk of Mondelez International’s trans-Tasman grocery business, including the flagship Vegemite brand, for $A460 million. The deal will be fully funded by Bega’s existing $A500m banking facility and is expected to boost earnings by $A40-to-$A45m and revenue by $A310m in the first full year of operation, Bega said. The dairy group generated sales of $A1.2 billion in the year ended June 30, 2016, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $A65.4m. The acquisition will give Bega the global trademark rights for Vegemite spread and ZoOSh salad dressings, a transitional royalty licence for several Kraft products including peanut butter and cheese until the end of the year, 6.3 hectares of land and buildings in Port Melbourne, and a licence for Dairylea and Snackabouts brands. The Philadelphia cream cheese brand wasn’t included in the sale. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2017, and Bega said it will provide new cash flow and growing businesses that mirror its existing structure, and

New Barina Trax boosts Holden range
H
olden New Zealand finished 2016 with a flourish, thanks to the release of two new models which round out a frenetic period of launch activity. “Last year witnessed an unprecedented amount of new model launches from Holden, starting in March with AA NZ Motoring Writers Guild Car of the Year finalist, the all-new Spark,” said managing director of Holden New Zealand, Kristian Aquilina. “There has also been the new Colorado and Trailblazer, as well as special editions of Commodore, Barina, Trax and Captiva. “It’s exciting to finish the year with the launch of two dynamic small cars, both of which represent a significant new focus on technology, all-round aesthetics and an enhanced value equation.” The 2017 Barina and Trax step up the level of connectivity and raise the bar of what’s available in their respective segments. “The ability to be connected at all times is incredibly important to people who drive vehicles like Barina and Trax, so the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto as standard across both ranges is something which will be of huge appeal,” said Mr Aquilina. “The information displayed on the screen will be easy to keep an eye on, thanks to the large 7-inch colour screen found in both models and respective variants.” The Barina and Trax also receive significant external and interior enhancements, demonstrating fresh and engaging styling which lifts the appearance of the new model to a new level. The new models display a more mature and refined appearance and are instantly recognisable thanks to a new front fascia, grille and rear fascia.
The higher specification Trax LTZ offers further visual differentiation to its LT stablemate, with turn-signals integrated into the wing mirrors providing an additional styling adornment. Both the Barina and Trax model lines feature carryover pricing compared with the model they replace, but thanks to the inclusion of additional features offer an enhanced value equation. The new Barina starts from $22,490 and is available in dealerships now and entry to the Trax range, which lands in dealerships in February, is from $32,990. “For example, in the case of the Barina LS, the alloy wheel
size has increased from 15 to 16 inches, while the LT gains passive-entry push-button start,” said Mr Aquilina. “The enhanced appearance and inclusion of additional creature-comforts make the new Barina a very desirable place to be and helps to maintain its reputation as a fun to drive new car. “Meanwhile, the raised SUV driving position of the Trax allows for greater all-round visibility, as well as comfortable ingress and egress for driver and passengers.” All models feature rear view camera and rear park assist as standard and are also five-star safety rated, while the highest
specification models also offer heated front seats. The vital output statistics remain unchanged on both models, with the 1.6-litre Barina offering 85kW of power, 155Nm of torque and a fuel consumption figure of 7.2l /100km while the 1.4-litre turbo Trax, now standard in all specification levels, is capable of delivering 103kW, 200Nm and consumes 6.7l of fuel per 100km. “The past 12 months have been full of activity and it was great to finish off 2016 with two exciting new models which will help strengthen Holden’s position on the consideration list for new car buyers,” said Mr Aquilina. “There are exciting times ahead for Holden in New Zealand as we forge ahead with our promise of launching 24 new models by 2020, which continues with all-new Astra in the first quarter of next year. “We’re looking forward to introducing Kiwis to what this new-look Holden has to offer and what we’re capable of achieving for our customers. There’s never been a better time to be associated with the brand.”
What’s all the fuss about? IT IS ALL ABOUT NEW COLORADO
Unbeaten towing & torque. Outstanding ride & tech.

Top 25 WRXs chosen T
he public and judges have chosen New Zealand’s best 25 Subaru WRXs and the winners are bound for the 2017 Leadfoot Festival. Subaru of New Zealand is celebrating 25 years of the WRX in 2017 and wanted to find the best WRXs in the country to celebrate this iconic performance model’s anniversary. Interest in the competition was overwhelming, with more than 12,000 votes and 268 entries. Turns out that people love showing off their WRXs – and for good reason! The 25 winners received tickets to attend the Leadfoot Festival to be held over Waitangi Weekend, February 4 and 5, 2017, and will enjoy Subaru hospitality at the Coromandel event, as well as having their WRX on display in a Subaru WRX tent in a prime position at the festival. Five lucky owners will also be chosen on the day to drive their WRX up the incredible 1.6km driveway, owned and built by motorsport legend Rod Millen, on his oceanfront ranch in Hahei.
lane. We had everything from a 1995 WRX WRC car, rare 22B limited edition models, through to a spec’d-up Time Attack STi and also some later model WRXs. “We look forward to seeing them all lined up at the Leadfoot Festival and encourage all those coming along to this fantastic February event to make sure you admire them on display,” Mr
Subaru of New Zealand managing director Wallis Dumper who together with Leadfoot Festival founder Mr Millen and Subaru Brand Ambassador (and WRX driver) Ben Hunt formed the judging panel says it was incredible to see the variety of WRXs entered in the competition. “Looking through all the entries was like a trip down memory
Dumper says. Among them will be one of the competition winners, Simon Rowe, of Auckland, who owns a 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX Crouching Tiger limited edition, which is number eight of only 10 bought into New Zealand. He wasn’t after a blue, red or white WRX. “The orange just appealed to me. I liked the colour scheme,” he says. Mr Rowe has never been to the Leadfoot Festival before and is looking forward to going. Wellington-based Grahame Hill was doubly thrilled to receive the news that his 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C Type RA-R was one of the country’s best 25 WRXs. Not only has he always wanted to attend the Leadfoot Festival but Saturday, February 4 is his birthday and he will be able to celebrate it by showcasing his WRX in the competition-winners display area. This high performance model comes with a potent set of specifications and was only sold in Japan. Chris Watt was encouraged by
his local Subaru dealership in Tauranga, Famer Auto Village, to enter the best 25 WRXs competition because the staff there knew his 1995 Subaru WRX RA is his “little pride and joy,” he says. He describes himself as “an absolute motorsport nut,” so he will “absolutely” be heading to the Leadfoot Festival. Subaru of New Zealand has a partnership with the Leadfoot Festival and has been proudly supporting the unique event since 2013. The venue was also used to launch the new generation WRX in 2014. The 150-acre estate features a spectator-friendly driveway, which was designed to be the perfect hill climb. Subaru also displays their latest line up of vehicles under the Subaru tent, where festival goers can shelter from the weather in either rain or shine. The Subaru team will be providing giveaways to lucky draw Subaru owners, and visitors can grab a seat in a prime position on the Subaru beanbags to watch the action unfold – simply show your Subaru keys and you’re in.

■ MAZDA MX-5 LIMITED
Going topless pleasureable Roger Hart ROAD TEST
I
t’s not just campers and others on holiday who have been frustrated by this years’ so far very changeable weather. But also those who expect to enjoy days of top-down (topless) motoring, especially when some not so busy country roads can be found. Driving topless is something the whole Guardian motoring team have been, or are currently known to enjoy. For sub-editor Steve drives a Honda S2000. Bernard was a long time owner of both a Triumph TR4 and TR8. I have a TR6 and Mazda MX-5, while Deidre, the force behind this motoring supplement, has owned a trio of MX-5s. So it seems quite appropriate today’s story should focus on the latest range of MX-5s and how they show that topless fun doesn’t need to be super-fast or overly expensive. Currently the MX-5 line-up consists of the six speed manual,1.5 litre GSX and 2.0Litre Limited models, either with a six-speed manual or six-speed auto. Prices range from $40,995 to $48,495 (plus ORCs). Come mid-year, they will be joined by a new 2.0 litre RF, (Retractable Fastback) with neat “targa” styling. It has a “flick of a switch”, retractable hardtop and rear window. The boot space, with the roof and rear window stowed, is said to be almost the same as the soft-top models. Mind you they perhaps encourage clutter free, (even topless motoring in the real sense of the word), for the boot, even though there’s an inflation kit instead of a spare holds just 130 litres of luggage. So, what is this topless motoring all about? Well when doing so in the latest MX-5, you can experience, in a civilised, noise free manner, a wonderful combination of a feeling of speed and the delights of superb handing courtesy of a neatly balanced chassis and pin-point accurate, electric steering.
And simultaneously enjoy the sights, sounds, and of course the mostly pleasant aromas of the countryside. Where the ride is excellent, and then about town, where it’s still comfortable and not as firm as you perhaps expect it to be. All in all it’s a totally different experience to a drive in a tin-top car, or SUV. And that includes the necessity of wearing a decent hat and 50+ sunblock! And your hats stay on, for the MX-5’s snug, sporty but well furnished cabin is pretty much free from wind buffeting, because of the car’s shape, low seating position and the deflector between the headrests. Meantime when a storm arrives, the hood is easily raised while sitting in the driver’s seat. You need to stop of course! As well as having more power than the GSX, the Limited versions also have climate air-con, embedded sat-nav, a premium Bose sound system, heated leather seats, key-less entry, larger 17 inch alloys and more.
I enjoyed my time with the GSX, and while thinking the 96kW and 150Nm its 1.5 litre engine delivered were, just like its looks and handling almost perfect, a little more would be nice. Which is just what you get when buying a Limited or the RF. For their 2.0litre fours up the ante to 118kW and 200Nm of torque. Just as the smaller engine does, the larger engines pull strongly from lowdown, yet are just as happy to spin around to their red lines. And do so with a nice exhaust note. While the short throw, very quick 6-speed manual gear box is the obvious first choice, I admit being impressed with the way the 6-speed auto matched up to the engines performance. Even though I still think an auto in such a playful sports car is an anomaly, the impressive thing is how during press-on driving, this rather high geared auto, consistently keeps the engine in its sweetest spots. Finale Need a bit of reasonably priced, open air
fun, comfort, safety and driving satisfaction for 2017? If so here’s your answer!
MX-5 LIMITED ■ Cost: $46,995 (auto $46,495 and 1.5L GSX $40,995) all + ORCs. ■ Engine: 2.0 litre, 118kW @ 6000rpm and 200Nm @ 4600rpm. 4 cylinder petrol ■ Transmission: 6-speed manual, rear–wheeldrive. LSD ■ Quoted economy: 7.1L/100km. ■ Safety: 5 star - front/side air bags; blind spot and lane departure monitoring. ■ Turning circle: 9.4 metres ■ Warranty: 5 years, including roadside assist and 3 years/100,000 km servicing.

■ MINI CONVERTIBLE
Open top driving fun M
INI New Zealand is launching the new third generation MINI Convertible offering open-top driving fun, more interior space, the latest generation TwinPower Turbo petrol engines and trademark MINI “go-kart driving” dynamics. In dealerships now, the MINI Convertible is available in Cooper S guise and is priced from $53,900 plus on-road costs. The new soft top, with its integrated sunroof function, offers a quieter, more refined operation and can be opened and closed using the button on the remote control when stationary or at speeds of up to 30km/h via the toggle switch on the roof frame. Inside, the new MINI Convertible maintains its stylish, premium feel with the car’s increased size offering substantially more passenger space for the four occupants as well as greater luggage capacity. Standard features include six-speed manual gearbox, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, MINI Navigation system with 6.5-inch screen, and harman/kardon Hi-Fi sound system with full USB and Bluetooth connectivity. A full complement of safety equipment adds Rear View Camera with guidance lines, rear park distance control, DSC, fully integrated rollover protection system, four airbags and automatic rain sensor windscreen wipers and lights. On top of this, sports front seats covered in cross-punch leather and with integrated heating, a sports leather steering wheel, MINI driving modes and LED headlights are all included as standard on the Cooper S Convertible. BMW Group New Zealand
managing director Florian Renndorfer, welcomes the new MINI Convertible to New Zealand, just as the weather is heating up for summer. “Opentop motoring in New Zealand is a wonderful experience, and the new Cooper S combines the joy of a convertible with the distinctive and “go-kart” driving experience that only a MINI can offer drivers”. Under the bonnet driving the front wheels, the new MINI Convertible is powered by the latest generation TwinPower Turbo petrol engine that
generates more power and torque than their predecessors along with reduced fuel consumption and emissions. Powering the Cooper S is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine that generates a maximum power of 141kW and peak torque of 280Nm driving through a six-speed manual gearbox, giving the car a 0-100km/h time of 7.2 seconds. Combined fuel consumption is 6.2 l/100km with CO2 emissions of 143 g/km (5.8 l/100km and 135 g/km when combined with a six-speed sports automatic
transmission). Combining a highly rigid body structure with modelspecific bracing elements, MINI’s proven single-joint McPherson strut front and multilink rear suspension, and tight and responsive Servotronic Electric Power Steering, the MINI Cooper Convertible delivers MINI’s trademark dynamic responsiveness. With other MINI model variants, the new MINI Convertible brings a wide range of customisation possibilities. Customers can choose one of
14 exterior colours ranging from the time-honoured Midnight Black through to a traditional British Racing Green, and vibrant hues such as Electric Blue or Caribbean Aqua. Combined with three interior themes and the option of various exterior mirror caps and coloured bonnet stripes, for the first time the MINI Convertible is available with an interwoven “Union Jack” pattern, contrasting in grey stitching on a blackcoloured soft top.

■ PONY CLUB DRESSAGE
Mid Canterbury riders excel Mid Canterbury riders excelled at the South Island division of the New Zealand Pony Club dressage championships held in Mosgiel in the weekend. The six strong Ashburton, South Canterbury and North Otago team consisting of three Mid Canterbury riders, two from Oamaru and one from Timaru, rode into second place overall in the two-day competition, won by Canterbury by 14 points.
Coach Debbie Nelson-Love was impressed with her young team’s performances. Methven-based Charlotte Roberts and Kate Waddell both produced stellar performances and just missed out on taking the titles for the junior and senior divisions respectively, each taking a first and second placing. “We got beaten by Canterbury but we had a very green team.
Two had competed in the South Island champs before, but the other four were new to the competition,” Nelson-Love said. Eleven-year-old Ruby Thomas, from Rakaia, held her own in a field of riders up to the age of 16 in the junior division of the competition. “It’s really hard for this district to field a team, partly because of timing. The trials are held straight after New Year and two
■ RUGBY LEAGUE
Wiki to play in Auckland Nines Ruben Wiki will play for the Warriors at the Auckland Nines next month. The former Kiwi ironman will be named in the Warriors squad for the fourth edition of the tournament at Eden Park on February 4 and 5. Warriors head coach Stephen Kearney is yet to name his 18-man squad but yesterday confirmed his former Kiwi team-mate will fill one of the spots. Wiki, who turns 44 this Saturday, will swap his regular role as the club’s NRL strength and conditioning coach to join players he trains, many of whom weren’t even born when he began his first-grade playing career in 1993. “It was a huge buzz when ‘Mooks’ (Kearney) asked me,” said Wiki. “I might have dropped the hint in the past that I’d like to have a go, especially when guys like Brad
Ruben Wiki Fittler and Steve Menzies were picked, but I didn’t think it would happen. “I’ve got some work to do getting ready for contact again but I’m looking forward to it. While I’m a bit nervous about it, the thought of pulling on a Warriors jersey again is cool. I’m so honoured and excited. “I’ve never played on Eden Park either so now I have the chance to run out there in front of my fam-
ily and thousands of fans. That’s unreal.” Kearney has no doubts the long-time hard man will be up for the challenge. “Rubes didn’t need much convincing. Put it this way, we certainly didn’t have to ask him twice,” he said. “We told all the players this morning and they couldn’t have been more excited. “While Ruben finished playing quite a few years ago, he has always prided himself in staying in fantastic condition and he’s absolutely jumping out of his skin for this. “This is a huge thrill for his family and for all of us at the club as well as our members and fans. I can’t wait to see him back out on the field playing in front of a big crowd at Eden Park and I’m sure everyone else will feel the same.” - NZME
days later they have the show jumping championships, so a lot of people are tied up with those and are unavailable,” she said. “The Canterbury team is recruited much earlier and have a lot of very experienced riders, whereas we had to headhunt to get a team together, so it was a really good effort. It was a very tough competition and our top riders were right up there.”
The result has Charlotte Roberts in the running for a national junior rider title as a first timer in the competition. The judges fly down to score the South Island riders before returning to judge their North Island counterparts. It was the second time Oxford-based Nelson-Love had coached the team but plans are already under way to raise funds for next year’s competition.
■ BASEBALL
Three players elected to Hall of Fame Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines and Ivan Rodriguez were elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame yesterday. Steroids-tainted stars Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were passed over for the fifth straight year by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. But they received a majority of votes for the first time and could be in position to gain election in coming years. “Anxiety was very, very high,” Bagwell said. “I wrote it on a ball tonight. It was kind of cool.” In his 10th and final year of eligibility, Raines was on 380 ballots (86 per cent). He started at 24.3 per cent in 2008 and jumped from 55 per cent in 2015 to 69.8 per cent last year.
“Last night probably the worst night I’ve had out of the 10 years,” he said. “I knew I was close, but I wasn’t sure.” Rodriguez, at 45 the youngest current Hall member, received 336 votes (76 per cent) to join Johnny Bench in 1989 as the only catchers elected on the first ballot. “I’ve been having trouble sleeping for three days,” the popular Pudge said. “Johnny Bench was my favourite player growing up.” Players will be inducted July 30 during ceremonies at Cooperstown along with former Commissioner Bud Selig and retired Kansas City and Atlanta executive John Schuerholz, both elected last month by a veterans committee. - NZME

In brief McCullum back Captain Brendon McCullum will make a welcome return for the Brisbane Heat in tonight’s seasondefining Big Bash League clash with the Melbourne Renegades. But West Indian legspinner Samuel Badree will not be risked, despite returning to full fitness after a hamstring injury, and will come back in next week’s semi-finals. McCullum missed Tuesday night’s win over the Melbourne Stars because of a one-week suspension for a slow over rate. Left-arm paceman Josh Lalor has also been included in the Heat’s 13-man squad for his first appearance of the season, having suffered a side strain in November during a BBL practice match. - AAP

Red Bull Holden Racing Team unveils new livery The Red Bull Holden Racing Team was officially launched today at GM Holden’s headquarters in Melbourne. Yesterday’s launch of the new partnership between Red Bull, Holden and Triple Eight Race Engineering, to form the Red Bull Holden Racing Team, saw six-time Supercars champion Jamie Whincup and the reigning series winner Shane van Gisbergen unveil the new team livery ahead of this year’s Supercars season. “It’s a big change for the team this year, but a very exciting one,” said Red Bull Holden Racing Team Driver Shane van Gisbergen. “The history of the Holden brand in Australian touring cars

the team, I can’t wait to see how it looks on track.” Jamie Whincup, who has won four of his six championships as a Holden driver, echoed his teammate’s thoughts on the launch. “I’m pumped, it’s a great atmosphere here today,” said Whincup “It’s a good feeling to know we have the support of Holden and Red Bull as we come into a new era of the sport next year. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Supercars category, there is plenty of development on the horizon.” “To know that we have the strength of these two brands behind us, as well as our other team partners, gives us a lot of confidence.” - NZME
New race format for Supercars at Pukekohe Organisers have axed the short sprint race format that produced significant criticism at the ITM Auckland SuperSprint at Pukekohe last year. The 2017 race meeting will instead feature two 200km races – one on the Saturday and one on the Sunday – with compulsory pit stops scheduled for both races. That format will allow strategy to become more of a factor and
should lead to more exciting racing. Four 100km sprint races failed to capture the imagination in the penultimate round of the championship in November and prompted ATEED, whose investment has made the Pukekohe event possible, to question whether they would renew the partnership after the final year of the current agreement this year.
Fans and drivers also complained about the lack of excitement the shorter races used last year while crowd numbers were down on 2015. “The Supercars Commission is extremely focused on the quality of our racing and continues to make positive improvements to formats,” Supercars chief executive James Warburton told the Supercars website.
The format changes were one of three race meetings to have tweaks made to their 2017 schedules. The Clipsal 500 on the streets of Adelaide will feature two 250km races - one on each day - with a top 10 shootout for qualifying used on both days as well. The Phillip Island round will now feature two 250km races as well – also with a compulsory pit stop. - NZME
The feature match of the Australian Open women’s singles looks to have something for just about everyone. Redhot No.9 seed Johanna Konta booked her spot in the round of 32 early on Wednesday with a comprehensive 6-4 6-2 win over hard-hitting Japanese teenager Naomi Osaka. The 17th-seeded Caroline Wozniacki was even more comprehensive in victory, trouncing Croatian Donna Vekic 6-1 6-3. Konta and Wozniacki will square off for the first time on Friday. - AAP
Two game ban Perth won’t appeal the two-game A-League ban handed to captain Rostyn Griffiths over his second-half brain snap in Newcastle. Griffiths was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Devante Clut late in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with the Jets, before then copping a straight red for giving referee Stephen Lucas a retaliatory earful. It means he’ll miss Saturday’s vital home clash with Melbourne Victory along with next weekend’s trip to Central Coast. - AAP
Ewan wins again Australian sprint ace Caleb Ewan has added to his Tour Down Under haul, winning stage three. Compatriot Richie Porte retained his overall lead, but second-placed Spaniard Gorka Izaguirre lost a lot of skin yesterday in a high-speed crash near the Victor Harbour finish. Izaguirre finished well behind the peloton that contested the high-speed finish. But the crash happened just inside the last 3km, meaning the Movistar cyclist did not lose any time. He remains 20 seconds behind Porte on the overall standings. - AAP

Will Smith be next All Black to go? France-based freelance rugby writer Gavin Mortimer believes that Ben Smith’s move to France is as good as done. Mortimer explained on Radio Sport that earlier this month reputable bi-weekly French rugby newspaper Midi Olympique were reporting that Ben Smith’s move to Pau appeared likely, where he would join former All Blacks Conrad Smith, Colin Slade, Tom Taylor and Jamie Mackintosh. “I think negotiations have been going on for about two or three months, I think it’s just about the money but he seems to be keen to go. “Pau are very interested to have him and of course Conrad Smith has just signed on for another year so it seems as if that’s going to happen.” However, Mortimer believes that if Smith goes then
it is almost certain that Dagg – linked with Toulon in October – will stay. Mortimer also addressed Aaron Cruden’s move to Montpellier, and revealed that the French club was not the All Black’s only suitor. “I think it had been in the pipeline for a while. There had been interest from two English clubs allegedly – Northampton and Bristol – and Northampton were quite confident at one stage, then Montpellier came in with a bid, allegedly around one million euros and that’s out of Northampton’s league so Montpellier got him.” - NZME Right – Will Ben Smith be the next All black to head to France with some believing he is already well through with negotiating a contract with Pau.

Black Ferns named Most of the big names are there for the 20-strong list of Black Ferns Sevens contracted players for 2017. The group is made up of 18 fullycontracted players and two training contracts, leaving a further spot to be filled later in the year. There is room, however, for just two of the victorious Counties Manukau team, which clinched their first national provincial sevens title last weekend in Rotorua. The squad to contest the remainder of the 2016-2017 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series sees the addition of eight new contracted players into the Black Ferns Sevens environment. Black Ferns Sevens head coach Allan Bunting said he was excited about the mix of talent in the team. “There is a lot of potential in this team. The high level of performance at the national sevens tournament on the weekend made selections very hard. The higher standard of coaching at provincial union level is really making our job difficult, which is great, but we are lucky because they are delivering quality rugby players which will make coaching the squad easier. “There is already a lot of experience in the squad, but it is youthful experience. Every player can go through to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and most of them could still be going for gold at the two games after that. “One player, Lyric Faleafaga, is in her last year of school and Alena Saili has just finished school last year. It’s great to see amazing talent coming through at such a young age which is exciting for the future of the team. Now that sevens is an Olympic sport, more teenage athletes are seeing it as a path to competing on the international stage at the highest level. “When selecting the squad, we were looking for a mix of playmaker ability in the middle and power, speed and skill on the outside.

Black Ferns sevens captain Sarah Goss. and that we have gained some size, height and have speed throughout the squad. “Because we have two training contracts, that means we have a space for potential other training contracts and also we have left one full contract that we can fill later. We will be looking to see who comes through the Go For Gold programme, which is aimed at attracting new athletes into sevens rugby. “The focus for the next couple of weeks, heading into Sydney, will be continuing on from what we started in Dubai, which is building our foundations and bringing the new members up to speed on what we have learnt.” The full Black Ferns Sevens squad will go into camp in Wellington from Monday January 23. The squad will be attending the Wellington Sevens tournament on January 28, before a travelling team of 14 will leave for the Sydney tournament on January 29.
Crackdown on residency The Rugby Football Union is to spearhead calls for a crackdown on the international residency laws that allowed Nathan Hughes to make his debut for England this season by demanding that the qualification period increases from three to five years. World Rugby is due to vote on the issue in May after launching a review involving consultation with 126 unions last November. Any proposal for change is likely to face considerable opposition – as it did when the issue was last raised following the 2015 World Cup – but the RFU is determined to argue the case and hinted that it may impose its own five-year rule even if it is voted down. Agustín Pichot, the World Rugby vice-chairman, made it clear he felt three years was too short amid concerns that it was undermining the fabric of the international game and fuelling the player drain from the Pacific Islands. Scotland and Ireland have been criticised for targeting young players from the southern hemisphere with the view to bolster their squads after three years. - NZME

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): To develop a crush on someone who is unreachable or unknown is more or less common. To develop a crush on someone you’re already in a committed relationship with is love at its finest. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You shine back at your love with distortions lovely and confusing, glints of sparkle and fading sunshade. It’s not an accurate representation but a personal one – the only kind a person can give. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Why things end up where they do is a question constantly in your mind today, partly because you don’t want what you’re working on to end up the same way. Find out then plot your course differently. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The great prizes of the day are connected with your home and all that means to you. There’s a spirit you cultivate there, and it’s very much alive and generating energy. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): People will receive your creative output in a variety of ways, some that may please you, some that may offend. You really have no control over it. As a creative person, your job is to create and let go. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The part of your mind that’s wrapped up in an endless, nagging to-do list is bogging you down. Bottom line, if it can’t be scheduled, it won’t be done. Either put it on the calendar or cross it off and forget it. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll find a new affinity for a relationship, interest or object you possess. It’s like finding treasure in your own pocket. The feeling of wealth costs nothing to you. Sweet felicity! SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You will alternate between producing beautiful work and admiring the beautiful work of others. These tones are both so enjoyable and becoming on you. This is a good day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Being too comfortable is disempowering. Agitation can be a favourable condition. Go deeper into your agitation. Let it move you to make a difference. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It’s nice to get a medal, but really what matters more is doing the best you can with what you have. It’s better to feel progress and not place than to win first place without feeling progress. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It’s luck that you are not tempted by the same things that others in your group find irresistible. You’ll help others focus and stick to what’s positive and productive. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): As you bring order and tidiness to your home, you confront yourself, remember details of life, decide who you want to be, see who you are, and (bonus!) get a clean place to operate from.

Sport Sodhi ‘rejuvenated’ Ish Sodhi didn’t sleep much on Wednesday night; no surprise there, you don’t get six for 11 in a T20 match every day. New Zealand legspinner Sodhi had a night to savour in the Big Bash League, helping the Adelaide Strikers to a thumping 77-run win over the Sydney Thunder in Sydney. Only five players have better T20 figures than the Northern Districts spinner who spearheaded the Thunder being rolled for 101, taking six of the last seven wickets. He’s back in New Zealand today and will play against Central Districts at Hamilton on Sunday.

Local tennis hot shots have been getting the opportunity to hone their skills. Head coach Andre Van Rooyen has been running holiday training camps at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre. With help from his two assistant coaches, Ashleigh Leonard and Connor Brosnahan, Van Rooyen has spent the week developing young tennis talent.
Two separate morning sessions are run, with a session for four to seven-year-olds that are new to tennis and seven years old and above who are at a beginner or intermediate level. Van Rooyen said a higher level camp was run last week for the more experienced players. “It is something that is very important for me as these are the young guys that will be coming through and playing in
the future,” Van Rooyen said. When the school holidays end, the tennis doesn’t. Beginning on February 10 Hot Shots Coaching Term One will begin, with the option of enrolling for either one or two sessions a week. There are three levels of groups, red, orange and green, which are all designed for different age grades. Red is designed for children aged five to eight years old, or-
ange eight to 10 and green for 11 and above. Van Rooyen believes one of the strengths of the setup is the ability to cover all aspects of the game. “My specialty area is the serve so I can take a group and focus on that while the others can go off with Ashleigh and Connor and focus on other areas like the forehand/backhand and volleys,” Van Rooyen said.
Kyrgios hunts for coach Lleyton Hewitt is being urged to rescue Nick Kyrgios after the troubled tennis star vowed to step up his search for a coach following his demoralising Australian Open exit. Despite climbing to world No.13 and winning his first three ATP titles while flying solo in 2016, Kyrgios admits he desperately needs a fulltime mentor. The 21-year-old cut a shattered figure after self-destructing in an extraordinary five-set second-round collapse against Andreas Seppi on Wednesday night.
NZ cricket ‘needs T20-led overhaul’ Stephen Fleming personified test cricket class. Style, elegance, technique. The lanky left-hander had the lot, even if he struggled for the big scores to match his ability. But now one of New Zealand’s finest first class batsmen wants New Zealand Cricket to give the traditional form of the game a bit of a bash. Fleming, who coaches in the Indian Premier League and Aussie Big Bash, says New Zealand should scale back its emphasis on test cricket in favour
of promoting players who excel in the shorter forms. The conflicts being caused by the rise of T20 cricket, particularly in Australia, came to a head when veteran Kiwi star Kiwi Ross Taylor was blocked by the NZC hierarchy from a quick hit with the Melbourne Renegades this month. Fleming said New Zealand cricket was at an important crossroad. “We’re not really ever going to threaten one or two in the world (in test cricket). We’ve

come close at times but it’s only going to be for brief moments,” said Fleming, the Melbourne Stars coach. “We don’t have the resources (players). If we lose a few players we’re exposed. To compete against the big countries is always going to be a challenge. “So why not focus on the shorter forms of the game? We can win World Cups - we got close last year. And we can win T20 because we have that type of player. “Maybe a change of thinking
needs to take place to encourage our players to be exposed to these world competitions at the expense of four-day cricket. “There needs to be a change of focus back to the short forms of the game ... it is an interesting stage for New Zealand cricket, how everything fits in.” The Big Bash is a runaway success in Australia particularly in drawing crowds to grounds - up to 80,000 have watched matches at the MCG. - NZME
Berghan called up The Scottish forward pack will have a distinct Kiwi flavour as they gear up for the Six Nations. Former Canterbury and Crusaders prospect – plying his trade with Edinburgh since 2014 – Simon Berghan has been included in expat Vern Cotter’s 37-man squad named yesterday. Christchurch born Berghan joins fellow Kiwi born players John Hardie and Sean Maitland in the Scottish side. The 26-year-old prop qualifies for Scotland through his grandfather.
