Status quo for hunters

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s annual hunting competition will go ahead this weekend without much fuss, despite the topic of guns being hot in the news this week.

Yesterday police minister Stuart

Nash and finance minister Grant Robertson announced further details of the buy-back scheme put in place following the passing of the arms amendment bill following the March 15 terror attack in Christchurch.

The amendment banned most

semi-automatic firearms and some pump-action shotguns; and also certain large-capacity magazines, with limited exemption of who may possess parts of prohibited firearms.

Hunting competition organiser Richard Clucas said there had

been no changes to the way the event would be run in 2019 following the passing of the arms amendment bill, except that a sponsored prize of a rifle was no longer being put forward. “It hasn’t really had an effect, we are still doing the same old thing.”

Clucas said he had heard grumblings after the law change, but hunters he had spoken to had not really had any complaints.

Early morning crashes

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Former Ashburton College head boy Lachie Davidson and Ben McColgan will be taking on the best egg throwers in the world at the Egg Throwing World Championships at the end of the month.

Having a crack at world champs

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

It might not matter if it was by luck or by skill, but former Ashburton College head boy Lachie Davidson will soon be winging his way to England to have a crack at the World Egg Throwing Championships.

Along with his mate Ben McColgan, the pair of university students took out second in the egg throwing competition at the New Zealand Rural Games after simply giving it a go.

“We were doing the fencing and stuff and hadn’t even thought about the egg throwing but we won the have a go section and ended up in the nationals which was full of cricket players and baseball players,” he said.

Egg throwing competitions see a pair of competitors starting off 10 minutes apart.

One person has the job of throwing the egg to the other person who has to catch it without breaking it.

After each successful catch, 10 metres is added to the gap, until each team has cracked the three

eggs they are allocated for each distance.

At the national championships, the pair were scrambled at the 50m mark, dropping all three of the eggs.

One other pairing was able to throw further, winning the national title.

However, they chose not to take up the offer of a free trip to the world championships, handing it to Davidson.

The flights to the event in England are sponsored by a travel company and Davidson said Massey University has jumped on-board, sponsoring their team outfits, proudly showing off their name, the Yolk Ferns.

While their friends have been joking about the competition, the pair has been taking it seriously, getting plenty of training in ahead of their exams.

“In the competition they use free-range size six eggs, so we have been trying to replicate that and I got my granddad to lathe a wooden egg so we can save a bit of money,” he said.

Each person in the team has a

role, which leaves Davidson in charge of the throwing and McColgan in charge of the catching.

“He used to be a wicketkeeper so it makes sense for him to do the catching,” Davidson said.

“I never used to play cricket as I rowed in the summer and I don’t have the best arm, but I am accurate, which is important.”

Both are studying AgriCommerce at Massey University and have been getting a few tips from the university’s sport advancement manager and former Black Cap Jacob Oram.

Davidson said while New Zealand teams have traditionally been strong at the event, the pair isn’t going into it with big goals.

“Our goal is to go and have a good crack at it, but it is a bit of fun so if we don’t do well that is okay,” he said.

The event, on June 30, falls directly in the university holiday break after exams, so the pair will make the most of the free airfares to Europe to do some travelling around the rest of the continent before returning home, potentially with a trophy in their luggage.

The early hours of Thursday morning were busy for emergency services across the district responding to two crashes within two hours.

At around 12.45am emergency services were called to single vehicle accident on Rakaia Barhill Methven Road.

Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade Chief Brent Anderson said it appeared the driver of the vehicle had misjudged the corner and the car had left the road and rolled on to its roof.

A St John spokesman said two ambulances attended the crash and that both patients declined assessments.

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade were called to a single vehicle crash near Maronan Road at 1.34am.

Chief Alan Burgess said it appeared a ute had crashed into a pole and that there were no other vehicles involved.

“We weren’t required to extract anyone from vehicles and St John checked the driver out and things were done from there,” he said.

Status quo for hunting competition From P1 “Rules are rules and laws are laws and there is not much you can do about that,” he said.

The competition begins today and runs for three days, with similar entry numbers to previous years, Clucas said.

The buy-back offer started yesterday and runs for six months to December 20, and the amnesty to surrender firearms, parts, magazines and ammunition will run until the same date.

The buy-back price will reflect the brand, make and model of the prohibited firearm, its base price and its condition.

Compensation will only be available to those who are licensed firearms holders.

Over the next six months, a number of collection events will be held across New Zealand until the amnesty period ceases on December 20, 2019.

A list of these events – with dates and locations – will be available on police’s website from Monday, June 24.

Ashburton District sub-area supervisor Senior Sergeant Leigh Jenkins says he understands that an event will be held in the Mid Canterbury area, but details are yet to be formalised.

So far two firearms have been handed into the Ashburton Police Station, along with a magazine.

There will be four options for collection: large-scale events at centralised community locations, handing over items at approved gun dealers, bulk pick-ups by police and at police stations.

Less preferred options will also be available, including handing in items to an approved dealer, police pick-up in high-risk circumstances, and handing them in at police stations.

Jenkins said a formal process of receipt was yet to be determined for firearms handed into the Ashburton station, and that when those details were available they would be released.

“The police preference is for people to hand-in firearms, parts, magazines and ammunition at the large community events,” Nash said.

“This will be the most effective and efficient approach. Until then, firearms owners should keep their items safe and secure.”

The firearms and parts will then become property of the Crown and will be destroyed.

Students design bright recovery park

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The creative work of a group of Ashburton College students will soon be brightening the landscape at the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park.

The park’s reuse shop will shortly move into a new, albeit temporary, home, in several shipping containers and each container will be covered in works of art created by students.

Teacher Milly Brown has worked with her Year 12 art students to create a series of designs that are now close to completion.

It’s been an inspirational project for the students, she said, and one that is exciting to watch unfold as each panel is completed.

Student Jane Cribb said the students had worked in groups on design work. Each container has four artworks – one each on its two long sides and one at each

end. “We planned it out on paper first, then coloured the designs in so they could be sent to the district council to be approved,” she said.

With design work ticked off, the students ‘went for it’, Cribb said.

While most of the work is carried out in class time, several students have been working overtime to ensure their designs are completed by the end of June when the containers will be transported to the resource recovery park.

Paint for the project was donated by Bunnings and Mitre 10 and while that paint was suited to outdoor work, students were having to deal with the impact of rain or frost, Brown said.

The artworks attracted plenty of attention on campus, with several Year 11 and 13 students also volunteering to be part of the project.

ADC post-election pay packet boost likely

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The job of Ashburton’s mayor could attract a flood of interest with the position set for a 20 per cent pay increase in October.

The Remuneration Authority has released its pay rates for elected members for the year from July 1, but salaries for the Ashburton District Council’s elected members will change again after the October election.

Today Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel earns $108,713 per year. From July 1 this will rise to $112,976.

OPEN HOMES or view our open homes in 3D “24/7”

www. realestatenewzealand. net.nz/open-homes/

If Favel gets the voters’ nod again on October 12, she will then earn $121,500 a year.

The new team of district councillors will also earn more during the next council term. Not only has the funding pool increased, but there will also be fewer of them drawing from that pool, down from 12 to nine.

The council decides how this money is divvied up and traditionally the deputy mayor and three committee chairs earn more than rank and file councillors. Current rates are $36,440 for deputy mayor Neil Brown

and $32,535 for the three standing committee chairs Peter Reveley, Russell Ellis and Stuart Wilson.

Councillors currently earn $26,029 for their time, just over $500 per week.

The new remuneration pool, post election will increase around 14 per cent to $377,856 and the council will decide how much it pays councillors.

How they decide to divvy up the funding pool will need to be signed off by the Remuneration Authority.

It has set the minimum salary

Address

that can be paid to an Ashburton District councillor at $25,047, but given the size of the remuneration pool and with fewer councillors around the council table, there could be some solid pay rises in the wind.

After October’s election, rank and file councillors could be earning around $40,000 a year, committee chairs more than $45,000 and the deputy mayor more than $50,000.

The mayor’s salary and the Methven Community Board are not included in the remuneration pool.

New signs for scenic route The scenic drive through the Ashburton high country will soon be a safer trip with new signs being installed to increase driver awareness.

The Ashburton District Council and the NZ Transport Agency is in the process of installing a number of warning signs at various sites along Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road (commonly known as the inland scenic route) and roads that intersect with it, in a bid to increase driver preparedness for intersections and curves.

The signs will warn motorists of looming give way or stop intersections so that they have more time to slow down on approach.

They will also inform drivers of curves in the road ahead and guide them around the bend.

Some of the signs have been designed to be more visible at night due to their colours and reflective surface.

They will be installed at an angle that prevents glare from headlights reflecting back at the driver.

There are 22 sites along the road that have been identified for these safety improvements.

These include the intersections at Prices; Moodies; Springburn Bushside; Ashburton Staveley; Sawmill; Lochheads; Gundrys; Winterslow; Forks; McFarlanes; Pudding Hill; Hart; McLennans Bush; Carneys; Alford Forest Cemetery and Alford Forest Settlement Roads.

Signs to warn drivers of curves in the road will also be installed at a number of these sites.

Accidents at intersections, due to drivers failing to give way or stop, are one of the most common crashes that happen in the Ashburton District.

As a well-used route connecting motorists from the Rakaia Gorge Bridge through Staveley, Mt Somers, Mayfield and on to Geraldine, Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road sees a significant amount of visiting and local traffic every day.

Musical back on stage at college

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

For the first time since 2015 students at Ashburton College will get to wow audiences for three nights with a musical.

Students will perform High School Musical at the start of next month, an exciting prospect said teacher Claire Bubb.

“It is light, bright, and it is going to be the maximum number of performers on stage at once,” she said.

“We are trying to get maximum participation and the maximum amount of students on stage.”

Bubb said a total of 50 students will be taking part on and off stage, and for around a quarter of the students it would be their first production, which fits in well with the themes of the musical.

“It hits home the messages of the musical, it is all about using your talents and skills and it is for everyone,” she said.

Calais Hill and Savannah Martin will be filling the main roles of Troy Bolton and Gabriella, while Ocean Waitokia will play Sharpay, Joseph Collins will play Ryan and Georgia Muir will play Ms Darbus.

A number of teachers will play cameo roles, including former Ashburton College student Jack Hanrahan, who will play the role of coach Bolton.

There will be three performances of the musical in the Ashburton College Auditorium on the 4th, 5th and 6th of July, with tickets available for purchase from the Ashburton College office.

The cast of Ashburton College’s production of High School Musical are set and ready to go for the school’s first musical since 2015.

Billion Dollar Bonfire a hit

9.30pm

Edgbaston, Birmingham

The author of the book outlining the downfall of South Canterbury Finance has been delighted by the reception the book received in Mid Canterbury and with the attendance at a talk about the book, held at Ashburton Paper Plus on Tuesday evening.

“Ashburton has been the second highest seller of the book, but it is obviously not the second biggest town in the country which is quite amazing,” Billion Dollar Bonfire author Chris Lees said.

“Allan Hubbard was well known in Ashburton and there was a bit of an audience.

“It is nice to be able to tell the real story of why South Canterbury Finance collapsed.”

Lees said while at the time of the South Canterbury Finance collapse Hubbard bore the brunt of the blame, information made public following a court case last year revealed it was 50-50 split of blame

between South Canterbury Finance and the National government at the time.

While the truth being made public was important, Lees said his main objective of the book was to challenge lawmakers to make changes to legislation so the same issue does not happen again.

“The real purpose of the book was to get some reform of the dreadful laws that allowed this to happen,” he said.

“Market regulators are having conversations about reform so you could say it has achieved its objective.”

Lees says he has been pleased with the attention the book has received so far, but says it is not him that should receive the credit.

“I have done nothing really, the story tells itself, he was a complex and interesting man and I know the Hubbard family are pleased the truth has come out,” he said.

Welcoming our new NZers

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When 59 people took their oath or made their affirmation to become new New Zealanders yesterday, it was in an environment of heightened security.

In the aftermath of the Christchurch mosque shootings in March, heightened awareness of the need for vigilance at large community events saw the Department of Internal Affairs ask the Ashburton District Council to take additional security measures ahead of yesterday’s citizenship ceremony.

This involved an alert to police and Talbot Security that the event was being held in the Ashburton Event Centre, and a pre-ceremony briefing for district councillors and council staff.

Nothing could dampen the importance of the ceremony, however, as those about to become citizens filed into the auditorium with dozens of family members and friends.

Mayor Donna Favel welcomed the 59 people who would be swearing oaths and affirmations of allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II and said that they would be sharing a common bond with all New Zealanders.

“You bring your culture with you and that enriches all of us,” she said.

“Today you are fulfilling the

Lucyane Fangaiuiha celebrating becoming a New Zealand citizen with her husband Uikelotu and seven month old son Tevita at a citizenship ceremony in Ashburton yesterday that saw 59 people take oaths or affirmations of allegiance to the Queen. hopes and dreams that brought you to this land.”

Sixteen different nationalities were represented at yesterday’s

ceremony. While some had been in New Zealand only a few years, others had been living the Kiwi lifestyle for a long time.

Among the long stayers was Tongan Lucyane Fangaiuiha. She came with her husband Uikelotu and their youngest child seven month old Tevita.

They came to New Zealand for work, and 20 years later, Lucyane said she had decided to become a citizen. Her husband said he might do the same in a year or two.

Their five children were all born in New Zealand and to the Fangaiuiha family it is now home. Yes, they miss Tonga, but said they love the Kiwi way of life and love the openness and friendliness of New Zealanders.

Making their oath or affirmation of allegiance yesterday were: Scott Paul Ammerman, American; Cecilia Banghal Bongcawel, Englbert Floyd Casbasag Bongcawel, Catheya Joyce Banghal Bongcawel,Randy Ramos Pascua, Anita Vivit Pascua, Sharifa Sheli Vivit Pascua, Shenell Abiad Laffey, Filipino; Latafale Schuster, Don Willy Falua, Samoan; Miranda Bucchel, Leichtesnsteiner; Lucyane Longo Fangaiuha, Tongan; Richard Johon Christie, Lily Mai Thanh Tran, Sandra Helen Sigel, Samuel James Reilly-Sigel, Australian; Julie Ann Clements, David

Bite Nite event gets council funding approval

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton ratepayers will be investing $13,000 in helping a group of young people understand how to run a community event.

Yesterday Ashburton’s district councllors agreed to grant $13,000 to their Youth Council members to hold the annual Bite Nite festival, a family friendly event based around food, entertainment and activities.

The event started three years

ago and was originally funded through a grant from the Ministry of Youth Development but when committee members applied for multi-year funding of $15,000 a year to host this year’s event, they were turned down.

From the funding pool of $3 million that was available this year, there were 300 applicants seeking a total of $21 million.

Council communications manager Ruben Garcia said the event started after a survey of the district’s youth suggested they

wanted more events that targeted their age group. Each year youth council members used the event to raise money for a local charity by passing around a collection bucket.

Last year $700 was raised for the Mid Canterbury Boxing Academy.

The event was seen as a good way for a group of young people to gain experience in planning, promoting and holding a community event and in handling the financial details associated

with that, Garcia said.

“It’s a reasonable amount of money, but it is worthwhile,” he said.

Councillor Stuart Wilson questioned the amount the youth council wanted. Bite Nite attracted between 300 and 400 people but the district’s other food fair, Multi Cultural Bite attracted many thousands and only received $5000 from the council, he said.

Leen Braam agreed. The amount asked for could run out

at $32.50 per person attending the event, and he asked what the council got in return.

In funding the Bite Nite event, the council was actually funding one of its own activities, mayor Donna Favel said.

“The youth council is part of us; we are making a decision for council.”

It might be part of the council, but Wilson said it should be made clear to the youth council that it could not rely on receiving a funding grant every year.

Gun owners ‘frustrated’

By Derek Cheng NZME

The Council of Licensed Firearms Owners is exploring legal action over the Government’s gun buyback scheme over what it says are unfair prices.

And council spokeswoman Nicole McKee said that while the council is urging its 40,000odd members to abide by the law, some have told her that they don’t intend to hand in their now-illegal firearms.

“Some of the offered prices for higher-end firearms are well out of kilter. We’re talking thousands of dollars,” McKee said.

“It may get down to a point where we have to look at court action on behalf of our members, and that is something we will be looking at under advice from our lawyers.”

Yesterday the Government released details of its gun buyback scheme, which covers more than 300 guns as well as high capacity magazines and other parts, but excludes business losses.

It follows the gun law reform in April that banned most military-style semi-automatics (MSSA) and associated components in response to the Christchurch terror attack that killed 51 people.

Police released an extensive list of guns, each with a price for poor condition (25 per cent of the base price), average condition (70 per cent of the base price), and new or near-new condition (95 per cent of the base price).

The list also includes gun parts – including magazines, silencers, open sights and custom triggers – with a different price setting: 70 per cent of the base price for new or used, and 25 per cent of the base price for poor condition.

Gun City owner David Tipple said the offered prices for the guns were about 25 per cent below what they should be, and the prices for the components were even worse.

“The component prices are horrible robbery.”

But Tipple said he would en-

“We want them to comply ...

Arguing over 5 to 25 per cent, I think they’re just being miserable.

“Let’s get them paid quickly so we can get compliance. Nobody wants a black market.”

He also planned to hand in any illegal guns and components that Gun City has. He had not done a stocktake, but expected to lose “tens of thousands” of dollars.

The scheme excludes business losses, but Tipple said that was “a fight for another day”.

Making matters worse was the fact that business losses or items such as a safe for securing guns were also not covered, McKee said.

“That is unfair. Businesses have operated legally, have purchased and invested legally, and they’re not being fairly compensated.

“Why do we have to go through this when a foreign terrorist came into this country and committed a crime? The firearms owners are being made scapegoats.”

Police Minister Stuart Nash said the scheme excluded business losses because it was about ensuring law-abiding citizens were not out of pocket, rather than allowing anyone to make a profit from being compensated.

Dealers can still cash in their existing stock of banned guns and parts, and there will be no cap on the number of items that can be compensated for.

Dealers will firstly have to show evidence that they tried to return stock to suppliers, and they will only be compensated for the cost of the guns, not the market value.

Act Party leader David Seymour said the prices on the police list were too low and risked creating a black market.

“The only way the Government will retrieve all newly-prohibited firearms, and keep the public safe, is if it offers owners reasonable compensation. It has failed to do that.”

Meanwhile police are giving assurances that dozens of events to collect thousands of dangerous firearms will be safe and secure.

Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement said today that safety had been given a sharper focus in the wake of an incident in a Palmerston North police station, where a man helped himself to 11 firearms because a door was left open.

Police are still yet to recover three of those guns.

The first collection event will be at Addington Raceway in Christchurch on July 13, which Clement said was a symbolic gesture to the city that had suffered the horrific terrorist attack on March 15.

■■HUTT CITY COUNCIL

Thousands spent on mayoral office drinks fridge NZME Hutt City Council spent thousands of dollars on what looks like an elaborate drinks fridge in the mayor’s office, documents reveal.

This is despite there already being a fridge in the office kitchen but, according to acting council chief executive Matt Reid, it is “very small”.

The Delta Backbar Bottle Cooler has a 320L capacity, two sliding doors and a black powder-coat finish.

The purchase has come under fire from elected officials, with one labelling the expense

Murderer released on parole for third time

“wasteful” at a time of tight budgets.

The council paid $1453.95 for the fridge excluding GST. A contractor estimate released under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act set the estimate for works to the Mayor’s kitchen area at $2441.42 excluding GST. This included the fridge installation as well as labour costs, electrical modifications and painting and touch-ups.

In a statement, the council said this cost also covered a redesign of the existing joinery to provide more storage space and make more efficient use of the

existing cupboards.

The fridge was primarily installed to increase limited food storage capacity in the mayoral office kitchen for events, Reid said.

Food was often delivered several hours before an event and good food hygiene was vital, he said.

“The kitchen itself is a small and narrow space and the fridge was considered as the best way to increase capacity for storing food and beverages as it can fit under the bench.

“Food and beverages are regularly served at formal mayoral events and meetings. It was an

operational decision to install the fridge to make the best use of space in a very small kitchen area,” Reid said.

The building the mayor’s office is housed in underwent a refurbishment between 2014 and 2016 when it was found it did not meet the current earthquake code.

The interior of the original building was demolished but the original facades to the north and south were retained, along with the roof and a section of internal structure.

The additional fridge was installed in 2018 by council officers.

A murderer twice recalled to prison after breaching her parole conditions will again be released back into the community.

And this time she has been banned from using drugs and alcohol for the rest of her life, and will be subject to random testing to ensure she abides by her parole conditions.

Michelle Elizabeth Ann Nicholson was sentenced to life in prison in 1997 for the murder of her partner, Dennis Hind, of Temuka.

Nicholson, also known as Michelle Richards, was living with Hind and her three children when she convinced 18-year-old Robert Smith to commit the murder.

Nicholson was a drug addict and had significant debt as a result.

Hind had changed his will to include her, and soon after she had him killed.

Smith, who was in a relationship with Nicholson, entered Hind’s bedroom in January 1997 and stabbed the older man to death in his own bed.

Hind was stabbed 127 times.

Both Nicholson and Smith were convicted of murder and jailed for life.

Nicholson was first paroled in 2007 but was recalled soon after when it emerged that she had formed a relationship with a man who had been jailed for murdering a prostitute.

The pair met at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.

Nicholson was granted parole again in December 2011 and completed her masters degree in criminology at Victoria University in 2014.

In early 2016 she was recalled to prison again after police searched her home and found drugs in various locations including her bedroom.

Nicholson appeared before the Parole Board again on May 30.

Board panel convenor Neville Trendle revealed in a decision released yesterday that since her last recall, Nicholson had completed a drug treatment programme and 19 sessions of offence-focused individual treatment with a psychologist.

However she also “took a step back” after she was caught using methamphetamine two years ago.

“She has since completed further drug and alcohol counselling and progressed to the self-care units,” Trendle said in the decision.

“Ms Nicholson completed a number of guided releases to attend AA meetings and a number of shopping trips.”

Nicholson’s lawyer Judith Fyfe said if released her client would attend a residential treatment programme to “facilitate her transition to the community”.

Free holidays please!

An alleged leaked email sent by a talent agency reveals that two Married At First Sight stars are asking for free holidays in exchange for publicity. There are claims that MAFS Australia bride Tamara Joy’s talent agent sent an email requesting free travel for her and MAFS NZ groom Samuel Levi and in return, they will share their experiences on social media. SL Media Co didn’t deny to the publication that they sent the email, which was found riddled with errors and spelling mistakes.

Rhino poachers killed NZME Two suspected rhino poachers in Zimbabwe were killed in a collision with a goat.

According to Nehanda Radio, the incident took place last Wednesday at Bubye Valley Conservancy, on the outskirts of Beitbridge.

Game park rangers tracked and chased the alleged poachers, leading to the two men speeding off in a high-speed

car chase when they hit a goat and overturned.

Godfrey Makechemu and Charles Runye died following the crash due to their injuries.

There were two other suspected poachers in the vehicle who survived the accident and have been charged with hunting a specially protected animal in violation of the Parks and Wildlife Act, the state-run Chronicle reported.

Prosecutor Misheck Gu-

wanda said the four men fled in their Toyota Wish car when they saw park rangers following them.

Guwanda revealed the men’s tracks indicated they were following the rhino’s spoor.

“Acting on a tip-off, a police mobile unit saw the suspected poachers coming out of Bubye Valley Conservancy and heading towards a nearby Jopembe village and pursued them,” he added.

A rifle with a telescopic sight was found at the scene of the crash.

The four were part of an alleged poaching gang which hunts rhinos at the Bubye Valley Conservancy, revealed Eyewitness News.

Rhinos in the wildlife sanctuary are under increasing threat. Last month two poachers were killed during a gunfight with game rangers inside the park.

Vape explodes, shatters teenager’s jaw NZME

Doctors had to reconstruct shattered bone.

A teenage vaper has had emergency surgery to reconstruct a hole in his jaw after his e-cigarette exploded in a freak accident.

The 17-year-old boy, from Nevada, was vaping when his e-cigarette exploded in his face, breaking his teeth and shattering his jaw.

It remains unclear what type of e-cigarette was involved in the incident.

“People need to know before they buy these devices that there’s a possibility they’re going to blow up in your pocket, in your face,” said Dr Katie Russell, the trauma medical director at the Primary Children’s Hospital who treated the teenager.

According to Dr Russell, while being treated, the teen repeatedly said he had no idea his vape could explode.

“At that time, in my career, I had never seen this.

“I have never heard of this as a possibility,” she said.

Dr Russell believes many users aren’t even aware e-cigarettes can explode –

meaning they don’t seek out resources on battery safety.

“I just wanted to get this out there so other people could know that this was possible,” she said.

“A pack of cigarettes says this can kill you.

“While e-cigarettes warn that nicotine is addictive, they seem to offer little information on battery risk.”

Earlier this year, a novice vaper from Texas died after using an e-cigarette for the first time. It exploded and cut an artery in his neck.

William Eric Brown, 24, had been trying out the vaporiser pen, which is said to be a safer alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes.

His grandmother Alice Brown, who he looked after, has warned people about the dangers of vaping.

She told NBC: “He should be alive and living his life now. It’s crazy, don’t do it.

“He was talking when he got to the hospital.

“Now he’s got a new address in heaven.”

The new Little Women Brand-new images have been released of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Little Women adaptation, starring Meryl Streep and Laura Dern. Vanity Fair has debuted a series of images from the upcoming adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel, which marks the second solo feature from Lady Bird director Gerwig. The formidable cast is rounded out by Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timothee Chalamet, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen (Sharp Objects). Dern shared the images on her Instagram, saying: “Love that everyone gets a peek to such visual beauty. Wait til you see what extraordinary Greta has created.”

Queer Eye carries on Netflix’s show Queer Eye says it’s bringing fabulousness to the masses for two more seasons. The streaming service announced Tuesday the fourth season will debut on July 19. The eight episodes were shot in Kansas City, where last season the stars revamped a prison guard, a children’s camp programme director and two sisters who own a barbecue joint. Netflix also says production will begin soon in Philadelphia for the fifth season, to be released next year. The show features fashion expert, Tan France, along with food guru Antoni Porowski, hairstylist Jonathan Van Ness, culture expert Karamo Brown and home designer Bobby Berk.

Design

By Jura Koncius nzme

Every now and then, a design blog will declare gallery walls “over” — a fad that’s had its moment.

But they’re a decorating staple, says Susan Tynan, founder and chief executive of Framebridge, an online framing company. “I get asked a lot whether I think the gallery wall trend will go away anytime soon,” Tynan says.

“It’s not a trend. It’s been around for hundreds of years.”

In 17th-century Paris, the paintings of recent graduates of the Royal Academy were hung floor to ceiling so as many as possible could be viewed, creating a sensation and inspiring grand salon-style museum exhibitions that continue to this day. This arrangement style eventually became popular with collectors and art lovers.

For the more timid and budgetstrapped among us, an army of experts, online tools and apps have popped up to help consumers curate artwork — and get over their fear of hammering multiple holes in their walls.

“Gallery walls give a visual wow factor,” says Paula Wallace, founder and president of Savannah College of Art and Design. “Lots of residences today are small. Instead of scattering

postage-stamp-size works of art all over, focus attention and care on one wall and arrange your works of art and collectibles. With a salon wall, all rules are out the window. If it pleases you, mix modern and vintage frames, traditional art with contemporary. It’s all fine.”

A gallery wall (or salon wall) is loosely defined as a collection of items: framed artwork, photographs and personal treasures hung in a grouping. Search #gallerywall on Instagram, and you’ll see more than 865,000 incarnations, some hung in millennial-friendly symmetrical rows, some Bohemian assemblages in mismatched frames.

“You see gallery walls all through history, whether in grand estates in Moscow, at Monticello or in Diana Vreeland’s iconic apartment in New York,” says Michelle Adams, editor and creative adviser at Artfully Walls, an online company that sells the work of more than 450 artists reproduced in digital giclee prints and has a collection for Anthropologie. It also sells precurated gallery walls you can try on for size with an online tool that shows how they will look in your room.

“We see people mixing in a lot of personal photos, and even wall-hanging plants have become part of the gallery wall today,” she says. “They’ll even mix

in Samsung’s Frame TV that looks like a piece of art.”

Interior designers say the gallery wall is frequently on clients’ wish lists. “When I start working with someone, I ask them to send me photos of rooms that inspire them,” says designer Miles Redd of the New York firm Redd Kaihoi. “Invariably they show me that one wall of eclectic art that everybody loves and wants to have.”

Designer Sheila Bridges filled an entire wall with art in her tiny 2019 Kips Bay Decorator Show House room. Her theme in her Le Salon Des Chien was the “many-faceted relationships between humans and canines”. The gallery mixes portraiture, needlepoint and evocative photos from the civil rights movement.

There’s no one way to organise a wall.

Some gallery walls have the same style frames or all the same colour frames; some have artworks that share a theme, such as travel, or a certain shade of chartreuse. Some just reflect the whim of the collector.

“It’s a collage you are making, and it’s all about relationships,” Redd says. “You hold things up, and if it feels good you keep going.”

“A lot of overthinking goes into choosing art and making a gallery wall, but it should be fun choosing things that you like to look at every day,” Adams says. For installation, David Kassel, who owns ILevel art placement and installation company in New York, recommends enlisting a second pair of hands to hold things up before you hammer, mix up sizes and use picture hooks, as plain nails often aren’t strong enough in the wall by themselves. He’s not a fan of adhesive hooks, either, which he says can’t hold the weight of most framed artworks and can discolor walls.If you still can’t bring yourself to put nails all over your perfectly painted walls, and you’re not exactly sure of placement, there are always photo ledges. “As someone who lives in a perpetual state of redecoration, I love the flexibility ledges offer,” Wolf says.

“Be sure you get the proportions of the pieces right; frames on a ledge need to be different enough in height so that they stand out when layered.”

Don’t let the colder weather deter you from getting out in your garden.

There’s plenty you can be doing right now, from planting winter flowers to composting.

Broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale and winter lettuces can all be planted out now. Remember to mulch around them to keep the weeds down. Watch out for slugs and snails – apply slug bait or use an organic beer bait to trap them. It’s also time for broad beans to go in.

If you’ve already got yours established, check to see they aren’t falling over. Stake them at each end, and wind string between the stalks to give them support. June is also traditionally the time to plant out your garlic – on the shortest day. But I keep hearing about people doing this slightly earlier each year, with lots of success.

Really any time between May–July is suitable.

It’s almost strawberry planting time to ensure your summer supply. If you’re planting new seedlings, remember

DJ GLEESON CONTRACTING LTD FENCING

that they will be most productive in their second year. If you’ve already got established strawberry plants, give them a tidy up. Divide your plants, and remove the runners. You do this by keeping the newly grown plants off the runners (the little stems running off that go on to make new plants) closest to your main clump. Remove the other runners and new plants and dispose of them or transplant them on to new places in your garden.

It’s also time to tidy up your asparagus patches. Your unpicked spears will have grown into ferns, some reaching over a meter high. Once

they’ve dried off, trim them back to ground level. Then weed and mulch your patch. You can wait until the new spears start coming in spring before needing to apply any fertiliser.

Sort out your pots and hanging baskets with some winter colour from flowering annuals.

Violas,pansies and lobelia are all great places to start. For larger garden beds, try ornamental kale with carex grasses slotted in between.

It’s also a good time of year to plant out any citrus trees or native plants, while the soil isn’t too wet. Look to your roses. You can start pruning any time from now, depending on where you live.

If you’re not sure, the NZ Rose society puts great free demonstrations on each year throughout the country, on how to prune. Check their website for dates.

Before you do start your pruning, spray your roses with a lime sulphur.

This helps clear disease (rust, scale, black spot) and sends the rose into a dormant state.

*At the time of printing And finally, keep raking those leaves.

Run the lawn mower over them (for faster breakdown) and then add to the compost heap.

If you don’t have a large heap, have a go at rubbish bag leaf-mould composting. Press as many leaves as possible into a heavy-duty plastic rubbish bag. Perforate with a few holes, and add a bit of water to dampen, and some lime.

Store in an unused area, out of the sun, for around a year.

Try to turn the leaves in the bag a couple of times, and add a bit more water. You’ll know it’s ready when it has an earthy smell.

Then dig the leaf mould through your soil to increase its soil structure, beneficial bacteria and water retention.

Save your bags for re-use next time.

The highlights just keep on coming

W

hen the roof opens, so does the freedom of pure driving pleasure in the all new BMW Z4.

A roadster that could not be any better: open, sporty and uncompromising. With powerful driving dynamics and a progressive design, it has only one aim: the freedom between the road and the open sky.

The Z4 has changed.

It’s become sportier – the old one, with its folding hardtop and cuddly dynamics, took aim mostly at the Mercedes SLK (now SLC).

The new one has a fabric top, dropping the weight measurement and centre of gravity.

It’s evidently having a pop at the Porsche 718, itself in a vulnerable position since the much-lamented departure of that old flat six.

Heading the range is the M Performance-powered BMW Z4 M40i.

This takes the traditional straight-six engine layout BMW is famous for and adds a single turbocharger to hit 250kW from 5000rpm to 6500rpm, with an amazing 500Nm from 1600rpm through to 4500rpm.

This strong performance is matched by high efficiency, with 7.4L100km fuel economy and 169g/km CO2.

Performance astounds, with 100km/h achieved in only 4.5 seconds.

The BMW Z4 is offered with an eightspeed sports automatic transmission with launch control fitted as standard.

Ah yes, sporty.

Hello internet, the ’Ring time is comfortably under eight minutes.

The Z4’s physical dimensions are good for hot laps.

The wheelbase is shorter than before by a huge 20cm, for agility. The track is much wider, for grip.

The body is a whole lot stiffer than the old Z4’s, and it’s light.

The front suspension, unlike other BMWs, mounts to a special aluminium subframe for precision. Those aren’t the

only declarations of intent.

The Z4 M40i’s tyres come from the M4.

Its brakes are M-developed too.

There’s an e-diff between the rear halfshafts.

You get the gist.

You can thank Toyota for the existence of the Z4. Toyota wanted a new Supra but didn’t have a platform. BMW saw the roadster market softening and wasn’t sure if it could sell enough to justify replacing the Z4. But sharing could satisfy the spreadsheet-jockeys. BMW of course is one of the

staunchest global holdouts for straight-six engines and rear drive, two articles of faith for a Supra.

So the Supra gets most of the Z4’s basic engineering, which is BMW stuff.

Engine, suspension and basic platform parts, and electronics too, come from BMW’s current set that’s used on every longitudinal car they’ve launched since the 7-er of 2017.

The Supra is tuned and set-up differently from the Z4.

Both the cars are built at a BMW-overseen line in the Magna plant in Austria.

So if it matters to you that a car has ‘brand purity’, you’ll be wanting the Z4.

If you want a roadster, that’ll also be the Z4.

So despite the common rootstock, these cars legitimately appeal to different audiences.

The tail appears bulky, but aerodynamics is the answer. At the other end of the car, the jutting jowls are designed to help capture airflow and usher it past the wheels.

If you don’t like it, well, lower-spec Z4s have a slimmer front bumper.

The seats haven’t just been yanked out of a saloon. They’re bespoke to the Z4, and have electric bolsters to plug you solidly into the car whatever your girth.

Super-bonus – you can still enjoy the excellent stereo at big open-roof speeds.

How much, you ask? The BMW Z4 M40i will set you back $133,800. *Recommended retail pricing, excluding on-road costs.

STEP UP THE PERFORMANCE. The 7-speed Steptronic automatic transmission with double clutch makes shifting gears exceptionally dynamic. It uses a precision-tuned electronic gear shifting system that offers seamless transitions with the ability to choose between manual and automatic shift mode.

Frank’s final destination Bernard Egan MOTORING

W

ords remain unwritten an intended story is unfinished.

Thoughts have strayed to something – or more precisely someone – else.

Frank William Schulz has been on the mind.

This writer never knew Frank William Schulz, nor would any reader have known him.

There may be readers who know of him, but if so they are few and far between.

Frank William Schulz died on June 18 1919.

These words are being written one hundred years to the day later.

They’re appearing in the paper on the 100th anniversary of his burial in free ground – sometimes referred to as pauper’s graves – in the Ashburton Cemetery.

He is interred among several hundred others almost all in unmarked plots, but thanks to the foresight his son and one of his grandsons a simple plaque identifies his resting place.

When Frank died, he had no family connection with our town – that would come later.

He spent his last days well cared for in Tuarangi Home.

Born in Germany in 1850 Frank, was described as a very tall, powerfully-built man distinguished by a shock of red hair.

When he was young, changes were occurring in Germany, and his father advised Frank and his brother to get out of that country because troubled times were ahead.

The advice was taken and ultimately

Frank ended up in New Zealand, coming via the USA, never to return to his homeland.

He served in the army before becoming a distinguished policeman, making an arrest in a sad but famous case.

Frank and his wife had one son and several daughters before their marriage was dissolved.

No-one is really sure why Frank came to Ashburton, or of the reason for his obviously strained circumstances.

It’s assumed he arrived here because of the facilities offered by Tuarangi Home.

One can’t help wondering what Frank William Schulz, who during his working life rode horses, thought about the relatively new horseless carriages which by the time of his death were having a major impact on society.

Two years before Frank died, Henry Ford had produced the two millionth Model T. Having been in the army, Frank was probably intrigued by the advent One of the very first tanks ever to roll across the battlefields of World War One. of motorised military vehicles.

Especially the tank – that monstrous and scary behemoth which have known still exist.

any years ago – maybe thirty or more – veteran Ashburton Guardian reporter Ray McCausland, who was renowned for his insightful and fascinating stories in the local newspaper, wrote a feature about unmarked graves in free ground at the Ashburton Cemetery.

Those graves number in the hundreds.

They occupy space set aside for those who for whatever reason, maybe financial or because there were no known next of kin, could not be interred elsewhere.

Thankfully this grassed area is well maintained.

head of next month’s Silk Way Rally, Hino Team Sugawara has released images of its new truck and confirmed its new driver.

In addition to the current Dakar Rally 500 Series truck, the team has developed a new bonnet-type truck with three seats, based on the 600 Series truck which is sold in North America.

Following the retirement of the Ironman of Dakar Yoshimasa Sugawara in April, the team has announced his replacement driver, Mr Ikuo Hanawa, who is an experienced international off-road racer.

“In addition, an experienced crew member in the third seat will increase the team’s ability to cope with any problems encountered during the rally,” said Mr Dimitri Andreatidis, Hino Australia’s Head of Customer and Brand.

“The team’s goal is to continue its recent dominance of the Under 10-litre class which has included 10 years of consecutive wins, and also propel it further up the standings in the overall truck category,” he continued.

He will join recently-promoted lead driver Teruhito Sugawara, who was victorious in the Under 10-litre category in 2019, and finished ninth overall, beating larger rivals to the line.

Both of the Hino Dakar Rally vehicles will use an enhanced version of the Hino A09C 6-cylinder engine, with the production version available in the 500 Series Wide Cab trucks in Australia.

A derivative of the A09, the A05 engine, powers the all-new 500 Series Standard Cab, currently available from Hino Australia.

Key specifications of the two 2019 Dakar Rally Hino trucks include full-time 4WD and a 8.866 litre direct injection turbocharged and intercooled engine, which is matched to a six speed manual transmission in Car 1 and six speed automatic transmission in Car 2.

The new truck and driver will make their debut at the Silk Way Rally which will be held in Russia, Mongolia and China from July 6-16, 2019 before taking on the 2020 Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia from January 2-17 2020.

BMW 8 GRAN C` O UPE A SNEAK PREVIEW

I

t’s always an incredible coincidence (cough) when a new car’s design is revealed in the days before its full launch.

And, what would you know, some pictures of the new BMW 8 Gran Coupe have popped up on the internet prior to its expected launch this week.

The Gran Coupe takes the new 8 (a car we quite like) and throws two more doors into the equation.

Those who shudder at the mere thought of a ‘four-door coupe’ will hate it, while the rest of us will watch on curiously.

As more buyers search for cars that tick as many boxes as possible, the luxury fourdoor coupe space continues to grow.

Buyers like them for their suave design, badge power, luxury, and performance aspects.

This 8 Gran Coupe will come up against the likes of the four-door Mercedes-AMG GT and Porsche Panamera Turbo – most likely doing so with a lower price attached.

The looks themselves aren’t too unfamiliar.

Take the proportions of the 6 Series Gran Coupe (a design that’s ageing surprisingly

gracefully) and superimpose the front and rear ends of the reasonably handsome 8, and you arrive at these leaked images.

Although the 6er is a reasonably commodious thing already, dignitaries and Fendalton property home owners should expect the 8 to have even more rear legroom on hand.

The curious thing to see, as always, will be how well BMW’s sloping roof-line design accommodates headroom for rear-mounted passengers.

In regards to that cabin, the dash in the front is almost a complete swap-and-drop of the dash we know and love from the standard BMW 8 coupe.

Among the few design differences that others have noted are that the window switches are metal instead of plastic.

The eagle-eyed who peep the gallery of images below will note the presence of a fifth seat-belt in the rear. It’s true that the bigger 8 can fit five people, but – with a huge centre console precisely where one’s legs would go – don’t expect said fifth passenger to want to sit there for too long.

The aforementioned centre console has a couple of air vents, plus a pair of charging points, and controls for air and seat heating/cooling adjustment.

Apart from these images, nothing else has been confirmed.

However, it’s probably safe to say that the engine packages of the coupe and this new Gran Coupe will probably overlap.

So, expect the Gran Coupe to – at the very least – come with the option of either the 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel (making 234kW/502Nm) from the 840d or the 4.4-litre V8 (390kW/750Nm) from the M850i.

There’s also an M8 version supposedly coming down the pipeline.

New Zealand only gets the current 8 in petrol V8 form, for reference.

Orange the new orange

T

he first Mazda MX-5 30th Anniversary Edition model has arrived in Australia, cutting a unique figure with its Racing Orange paintwork.

Eclipsing three decades of opentop driving fun, the anniversary model’s colour scheme was inspired by the breaking of dawn, signalling the beginning of a new era in the history of the world’s favourite sports car.

The limited edition model is one of 3000 produced for global sale, and one of only 30 to be offered in Australia.

Based on the manual 2.0L Roadster GT, the MX-5 30th Anniversary Edition features forged alloy wheels (Rays ZE40 RS30) developed exclusively for the MX-5 in co-operation with Rays Co., Ltd. and inspired by those seen on MX-5 Global Cup Cars.

Peeking through the wheels, Racing Orange painted Brembo front callipers and rear Nissin callipers, plus a special anniversary badge, accentuate the MX-5’s exclusive exterior.

Inside, the sporty colour palette is carried through to orange piping and stitching on the Recaro seats, stitching on the steering wheel, shift lever, dash and door.

Four Wheeler Becomes Three at Ashburton Speedway Although this photograph by Ashburton Photographic Society member Malcolm Whyte was taken at the last meeting of Ashburton Speedway on June 10 last year, it is well worth sharing. The day was classified as a fun day, but that did not stop the competitors pushing both themselves and their machines to breaking point and beyond. Malcolm managed to capture the rear rider picking up a tyre as he is riding around the track. Some pictures are well work a second look and this was one of them! Our judge awarded this an honours in the photojournalism competition last year.

OUR VIEW

Just a girl who wants to play rugby B

riar Hales is the only girl in her Havelock North Intermediate First XV team.

Her side is due next week to take part in a Super-Six competition between intermediate schools in Napier and Hastings playing rugby, netball, football and other sports with points awarded for success.

But this week organisers of the competition told Hales’ school that her team would not get points if it was to field her on the paddock during the tournament.

That’s despite it being allowed in various other tournaments during the year.

The reason? Hales is a girl.

A statement issued by the organisers and released to various media outlets around the coun-

try said there was equality in the competition if the sexes were separate, and that there were health and safety issues as “boys can be bigger, stronger, heavier and faster”.

No mention of the fact that girls can be bigger, stronger, heavier and faster too though.

When news broke this week of the plight that Hales, her team and her school are facing, the

nation reacted. Politicians, sporting stars, minister and all sorts of other individuals, both male and female from around the country have weighed in on the debate, lending their support to the young girl and her school for the predicament they face.

The Black Ferns, the New Zealand Women’s Rugby Team have extended an olive branch themselves, inviting Hales to come and train with them at some point in the future – a really nice gesture.

Yet, despite all that – the most powerful moment in the whole saga came from a group of people a lot closer to home for Briar, her own rugby team-mates.

The 21 boys in the squad which makes up her team for

next week’s competition have all agreed to play in the tournament, alongside their team-mate and in doing so forfeit any points they might receive.

That’s an incredible show of faith and solidarity from a group of young men to stand beside their team-mate, shoulder to shoulder and not let archaic systems stand in the way of young people enjoying playing sport.

But the question does have to be asked, should it take a group of people so young to take such a stand to really get a message across, especially in this day and age?

Definitely not.

A group of adults, sitting around a room discussing this subject should surely be able to

see that the decision they have made is wrong – and be able to reverse it. Instead we are told that it is too late now to make a change ahead of the tournament.

Again, there is no reason offered as to why it can’t be fasttracked.

There are without doubt some concerns around Hales playing, she might pop her shoulder out or suffer a knee injury but then again so could any of the other 29 people who are on the paddock with her at that same point in time – irrelevant of whether they are male or female.

Society has come a long way in so many ways when it comes to gender equality, but incidents like this show that we still have a very long way to go.

In 2013, President Barack Obama nominated James Comey, a Bushera Justice official, to head the FBI, succeeding Robert Mueller.

Ten years ago: Newsweek reporter Maziar Bahari was among hundreds of people arrested during the Tehran government’s crackdown on nationwide protests over Iran’s disputed presidential election. (Bahari was released nearly four months later.)

Five years ago: Gerry Conlon, 60, who was unjustly imprisoned for an Irish Republican Army killing and inspired the Oscar-nominated film “In the Name of the Father,” died in Belfast.

One year ago: First lady Melania

Trump visited with migrant children during a brief stop at a Texas facility housing some children separated from their parents at the border; she caused a stir when she left Washington wearing a green, hooded military jacket with lettering that said, “I really don’t care, do u?”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, June 21, the 172nd day of 2019. There are 193 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On June 21, 1964, civil rights workers Michael H. Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James E. Chaney were slain in Philadelphia, Mississippi; their bodies were found buried in an earthen dam six weeks later. (Forty-one years later on this date in 2005, Edgar Ray Killen, 80, was found guilty of manslaughter; he was sentenced to 60 years in prison, where he died in January 2018.)

On this date: In 1377, King Edward III died after ruling England for 50 years; he was succeeded by his grandson, Richard II. In 1864, at Te Ranga the British sought revenge for their humiliating defeat at the battle of Gate Pā.

In 1942, German forces led by Generaloberst (Colonel General) Erwin Rommel captured the Libyan city of Tobruk during World War Two. (Rommel was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal; Tobruk was retaken by the Allies in November 1942.)

In 1964, Beatlemania hit New Zealand when 7000 hysterical fans greeted the Fab Four in Wellington during their Far East tour.

In 1977, Menachem Begin of the Likud bloc became Israel’s sixth prime minister.

In 1982, a jury in Washington, DC found John Hinckley Jr. not guilty by reason of insanity in the shootings of President Ronald Reagan and three other men.

In 2001, a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, indicted 13 Saudis and a Lebanese in absentia for the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 American servicemen.

In 2002, one of the worst wildfires in Arizona history grew to 128,000 acres, forcing thousands of homeowners near the community of Show Low to flee.

Rocking out the ’do with perm and blonde highlights, a trendy Hoops from the past.

Thankfully Hoops is well and truly over his ‘bad hair’ days.

Email us! editor@theguardian. co.nz

Comfortable in my own skin I

was sitting on a stool in the kitchen, deep in thought on Tuesday night. Now before you start thinking, what is this weirdo up to now? I wasn’t in search of Zen or something similar. I was getting a well overdue haircut.

My gorgeous wife was taking to my mop with the hand-held clippers I purchased from Briscoes a couple of years ago. You won’t believe this but I got them at a ‘sale’ there.

They are really good clippers, about the size of your palm and they are waterproof, so you can use them in the shower. Manda is not a huge fan of me using them in the shower.

She says the cut is just a wee bit too short and I look like a crim or like I’ve just been released from a concentration camp, without the starvation!

Let’s hope it has nothing to do with the charging cord not being

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

long enough to charge as I use it.

To the best of my knowledge she doesn’t have any hairdressing experience to call on, but she does a super job. She buzzes around the side and back with the comb on the clippers and then removes it and uses a fingers and clippers combo like a boss.

To be fair it does look much better than the all-over buzz cut I produce in the shower.

Anyhoo, back to my halcyon state of deep thought. I was contemplating how much things had changed in what felt like just a few short years. In reality its 30

years, but hey, who’s counting really.

I was thinking about the jumped up 18-year-old that thought he was the coolest thing since Fonzie from Happy Days.

He worked in Record World, which was a very cool job and right near the very top of his priority list was his hair.

The thought of an inexperienced hairdresser going anywhere near his hair with clippers would have sent him into hysterics.

He did not spend all that money at Get Smart, the very cool hairdressers in the Arcade on the blonde highlights and spiral perm just to have an amateur attack it with clippers!

Although I blame the self-absorbed, youth stage of life, for my hair obsession, I also hold my Mother accountable!

Not only did she butcher my hair on a regular basis, insert im-

age of a bowl cut into your mind.

She also let me give things a tidy up myself at age 3! Well when I say ‘let me’, I mean she left me alone, in the same room as a pair of scissors for 30 seconds. Clearly the trauma of this event left me with bad haircut issues!

These issues have clearly been resolved as these days I am very happy with my Manda makeover and natural grey highlights.

And the price is right for a bloke who gets paid a couple of scoops of rice a week.

Come on Ashburton District Council.

It was recently published in the Guardian that installing grass strips into refurbished footpaths round town was quite unfair, as you haven’t consulted with anyone before carrying out this work and yet you are still doing it!

We thought that the common sense of some councillors had prevailed but what is going on?

How fair is this? You haven’t considered those who don’t wish to have to tend to the new grassed areas you are foisting upon us? (I know that we are not alone in this viewpoint – some people even pay to have their lawns tended and didn’t ask for this extra cost).

The Guardian article also raised the issues of limited access for mobility scooters and wheelchairs, muddy messes to negotiate, weeds, unkempt strips, etc.

And where is the water going to come from to keep the areas

green in the summer?

How do we stop this madness?

While we are talking about footpaths, we understand that the old deep entrances with bridges are being removed due to increased maintenance costs, etc.

Some areas have quite different levels between the road and footpath. This means some properties are left with an entrance which is causing grief for those with low clearance vehicles, trailers, etc.

This is also happening at street

corners and causes major stability issues for mobility scooter riders and kids on small bikes, etc.

When the roadand footpath levels are being upgraded, can the planners please work to limit or minimise this new hazard we are creating?

Hoping for some common sense from our council – “Whatever it Takes”.

Homeowners, landlords, renters – it’s now your chance to weigh in and let the council know your feelings.

■■INLAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT

‘Morally wrong’ not to repay $42m NZME A financial adviser has slammed the tax department for incompetence and says they are making a “morally wrong” decision by not paying out $42 million to Kiwis who have overpaid tax on their investments, including KiwiSaver.

But the Inland Revenue says the system it used before April did not allow it to work out which prescribed investor rate people should be on and current law is stopping it from paying that money out.

Revenue minister Stuart Nash has said he will look into changing the law to allow overpayments to be refunded in the future but the onus has been on individuals to make sure they are paying the right investment tax rate.

This week the IRD revealed an estimated 1.5 million Kiwis were on the wrong prescribed investor rate in the year to March 31, resulting in 950,000 people overpaying tax on their investments and 550,000 underpaying.

While the 550,000 will have to pay the tax owed estimated to be an average of between $80 to $90

Revenue minister Stuart Nash. per person adding up to a total of between $45 million to $50 million, the 950,000 who are owed an average of $44 each won’t be refunded the $42 million they have overpaid because the current law doesn’t allow for it.

Rachelle Bland, an Auckland financial adviser, said the situation was an appalling indictment of the Inland Revenue Department.

allow for it to calculate a person’s prescribed investor rate until it had switched to a new system in April.

She said the new system now allowed it to group together all the income people received including wages, salary and investments which enabled it to see if people were on the right rate relative to their income level.

“In the past our old system did not do this automatically and we relied on people and their investment providers to make sure they were on the right rate.”

Thompson said it had made a business decision not to go back beyond the last tax year because it would have required significant work not just for Inland Revenue but for individual taxpayers and financial institutions.

The current legislation did not allow for refund of overpayment.

Bland said hiding behind the idea that the law does not allow them to collect a member’s PIR, or refund the overpayments, and blaming their internal system’s capabilities showed a “mind-numbing level of incompetence”.

of tax has been around since 2007 and in part was created by the IRD forcing all auto-enrolled [KiwiSaver] members into the highest tax bracket.”

A person automatically enrolled into KiwiSaver through starting a new job is put on the top tax rate of 28 per cent and must tell their provider three months later if they should be on a lower rate.

Bland was one of nine advis-

ers who wrote to finance minister Grant Robertson and Commerce Minister Kris Faafoi and regulators last year warning them that many of the lowest income earning KiwiSaver members were paying tax at the highest possible rate of 28 per cent when they should have been taxed at 10.5 per cent or 17.5 per cent.

At the time Robertson’s office acknowledged it had received the letter but said minister Faafoi would be responding to it.

In a letter dated June 8, 2018, Faafoi said issues about the prescribed investor rate did not fall within his portfolio but he had raised concerns with the tax department.

Bland said while the tax problem might have been an oversight at the time when it was set up in 2006 it was “totally appalling” that it had been left unfixed for 12 years.

“It is morally wrong this year for the IRD to be collecting on underpaid but not refunding overpaid tax.”

Sharon Thompson, Inland Revenue deputy commissioner, said on Wednesday its system did not

ew Zealand shares traded higher this week with the benchmark NZX 50 reaching fresh new highs.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi opened the door to more stimulus and US President Donald Trump announced plans for an “extended” meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Japan next week.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and pointed to possible interest rate cuts in the future, citing rising “uncertainties” about the economic outlook.

Domestic newsflow was dominated by a number of executive departures. Firstly, ANZ confirmed the appointment of Antonia Watson as Acting CEO, following the departure of David Hisco.

Hisco’s departure follows ongoing health issues as well as board concern about the characterisation of certain transactions following an internal review of his personal expenses.

Meanwhile, Air New Zealand Chief Executive Christopher Luxon announced his resignation and will be stepping down in September, after seven years in the role. Luxon has hinted to a move to politics and a possible career with the National Party. Air New Zealand shares are down 12.6 per cent this year.

Contact Energy also announced Chief Executive Dennis Barnes will be stepping down at the end of 2019, after eight years in the role, while Meridian Energy announced the departure of Chief Customer Officer Julian Smith.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

Mobile-app payment provider Pushpay upgraded FY20 guidance at its annual shareholders’ meeting. The company upgraded operating earnings from $US17.5 - $19.5m to $US18.5 - $20.5m and reiterated revenue guidance for $US122.5 - $125.5m. Shares closed 2.6 per cent higher at $3.90 following the news.

In economic news, Stats NZ said gross domestic product increased 0.6 per cent in the March quarter, following a 0.6 per cent rise in the December 2018 quarter.

“Construction was the main contributor to GDP growth this quarter, rising 3.7 per cent, on top of a 2.2 per cent increase in the previous quarter,” National Accounts Senior Manager Gary Dunnet said. The increase in construction reflected higher investment in both residential and non-residential buildings.

The Global Dairy Trade auction reported its third consecutive fall in dairy commodity prices early Wednesday morning with the headline index down 3.8 per cent, dragged lower by a 4.3 per cent decline in whole milk powder.

Butter suffered the heaviest drop, down 5.7 per cent, while cheddar fell 4.3 per cent and anhydrous milk fat was down by 3.3 per cent. Rennet casein was the only product to post an increase,

with its price up 2.3 per cent.

Across the Tasman, the Australian sharemarket hit an 11-and-ahalf year high closing within 3 per cent of 2007’s best-ever finish.

The Reserve Bank board meeting minutes indicated that the country’s central bank is likely to cut interest rates in the months ahead, with markets pricing in a 75 per cent chance of a rate cut

by August. Within the ASX 200 index, software firm Xero closed above $A60.00 and index heavyweight CSL hit a nine-month high of $A215.20.

Turning to Europe, European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi suggested that the central bank will provide more stimulus if inflation does not pick up.

Speaking at the ECB Forum on central banking in Portugal, Draghi said, “Further cuts in policy interest rates and mitigating measures to contain any side effects remain part of our tools.”

Meanwhile, the US and China are rekindling trade talks ahead of a meeting next week between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Financial markets cheered on hopes that an escalating trade war between the two countries would abate.

Trump said on Tuesday that teams from both sides would begin preparations for the leaders to sit down at the G20 summit in Osaka.

Ashburton Guardian 29

In brief Riodini wins on debut The Nigel Tiley-trained Riodini kicked off his raceday career in perfect style at Counties yesterday, winning the NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race (1200m) and securing the $8000 bonus for his connections.

The two-year-old son of Proisir headed into the race off the back of a 935m trial win at Cambridge last month and Tiley was pleased with his first-up effort, winning by three lengths over Sai Fah, with a further three lengths back to Ruby Negroni in third. “He got to the line very well. I think he is a nice horse with a future,” Tiley said. - NZME

Ticket to Ride a winner The Keith Opie-trained Ticket to Ride secured her fourth career victory at Counties yesterday when taking out the Lone Star Pukekohe 1600. There was an early injection of speed in the race, with four horses contending for the lead.

After initially sitting parked, jockey Darren Danis pressed forward to take control of the race at the 900m. Ticket to Ride went clear in the straight to record a 2-1/4 length victory over Rippin, with Tipical a further half a head back in third.

Jockey Tanya Jonker gets the best out of Lil Miss Swiss right on the line at Riverton in April.

■■RICCARTON

Punting world-wide

Tyler has high cup hopes Kelvin Tyler is hoping to spoil the favourites’ party in Saturday’s Greenwood Amberley Cup (1600m), suggesting his pair The Bumper and Lil Miss Swiss are in prime order to cause an upset in the Riccarton feature.

Tyler, who trains at Riverton with his daughter Aimee, has already won the Amberley Cup twice, with Timy Tyler in 2015 and Lochan Ora the following year, and believes improving Bullbars five-year-old gelding The Bumper and proven Rip Van Winkle five-year-old mare Lil Miss Swiss are in the right form to complete a treble for the stable.

“It’s just a race that has fitted well into the programme for my

horses. We don’t have a lot of open mile races down home,” Tyler said.

“Both horses are really well.

“It’s the biggest test for The Bumper but if the rain comes like it’s meant to, then he’ll be right in it.”

The Riccarton track was rated a slow 9 yesterday, with any further rain expected to suit The Bumper, who has won six races from 37 starts, five of those on heavy tracks.

TAB bookmakers opened The Bumper at $21 but were forced to shorten him to $15 after early betting support as he chases his fourth straight win.

Lil Miss Swiss was at $19 in a market headed by Gr.3 Canter-

bury Gold Cup (2000m) winner Who Dares Wins at $3.80 chasing his fourth win from as many outings this preparation.

The Bumper’s last three wins have been in lower grades but he carries just 51kg in his open class debut under apprentice Kin Kwo. “On his trackwork, he should be headed straight to the top but he’s not that genuine,” Tyler said.

“But at the moment we’ve found his happy place bowling along in front so let’s hope he can acquit himself well.”

Lil Miss Swiss is another horse whose preference is for testing heavy tracks, having scored by 13 lengths in the Wairio Cup (2115m) at Invercargill last

month on heavy 11 going.

“She loves a wet track and mud.

“The wetter the better for her.

“She’ll have this one and then we’ll have a crack at the Parliamentary with her.

“You normally get a bog at Trentham for that meeting,” Tyler said.

“She’s really well too.

“We could have a look at the Winter Cup (Gr.3, 1600m)with her on the way back home but she needs it wet to be really competitive over a mile.

“She’s well and she’s fresh and with the track already a slow 9 and making it a testing mile, she’s pretty right for this race on Saturday.”

■■AUSTRALIA

Pizzuto pair back on the racetrack

By Adam Hamilton Kevin Pizzuto’s scaled back his numbers and been unusually quite of late, but all that’s about to change.

The colourful trainer’s two stable stars – Inter Dominion hero Tiger Tara and star speedster Majordan – are primed for racetrack returns.

Majordan will be first back to the track, being specifically set for a first-up tilt at Sunday week’s $100,000 Group 1 Len Smith Mile at Menangle.

And, judging by his Menangle trial last Tuesday, the US-owned

pacer is the horse they all have to beat.

Majordan put almost 20 metres on his rivals in a scorching 1min49.5sec mile trial. Clockers can’t recall a faster trial run in Australia.

“That’s what I wanted, a really serious hit-out because he will be first-up in the big one. But it’s worth noting Todd (McCarthy, driver) said he could’ve gone 1min48sec and he never moved on him. He’s come back really well,” Pizzuto said.

Providing he runs as well as expected in Len Smith, Majordan will then be heading to Brisbane

for a winter campaign.

Tiger Tara will accompany Majordan up north, but it will Majordan alone who contests the $100,000 Group 1 Sunshine Sprint on July 13.

“I know my horses and Tiger Tara’s best hope of winning the Blacks A Fake is going into firstup (July 20),” Pizzuto said.

Tiger Tara will have his first private trial back this campaign at Bankstown on Tuesday.

“He’s working better than Majordan, so all signs are he’s come back at least as well as last time in work,” Pizzuto said.

Pizzuto has more time to focus

on Tiger Tara and Majordan after dramatically cutting his team from 35 to just 11 out of frustration.

“It’s just so hard in NSW. You win a couple of races then your horses are racing against each other and given bad barriers under the system up here,” he said.

“It became so hard to keep my owners happy.

“They wanted horses staying in work for too long to earn and, in the end, it was best to cut my numbers and focus on quality,” Pizzuto said.

“I got really frustrated and things weren’t changing here, so I had to do something myself.”

A new era in international racing got off to a strong start on day one of Royal Ascot (June 18) with the Hong Kong Jockey Club reporting a significant increase in turnover compared to the corresponding day in 2018. In partnership with Ascot and Totepool, the HKJC has created the first ever parimutuelbased World Pool in which overseas wagers from the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and the USA are commingled into Hong Kong’s pools directly or via Totepool to ensure maximum liquidity for a growing international audience.

Ambitious future plans Never-say-die Bullbars mare Te Toro Pearl has Cambridge trainer Jon Miller daring to dream big ahead of Saturday’s Listed Ultimate Ford And Mazda Tauranga Classic. Miller will produce his stable star in the weight-for-age fillies and mares feature not only with the aim of winning but also with a view to assessing her prospects for next season’s Tarzino Trophy at Hastings.

Entries for the first Group One race of the new season close on July 16 and provided Te Toro Pearl continues to please Miller, she is likely to be among those aimed at the August 31 showpiece.

- NZME

Hurdles a possibility Jumps racing is not off Londonderry Air’s agenda despite the horse’s impressive flat win at Oamaru on Wednesday. The Brian and Shane Anderton-trained galloper, who qualified for hurdle racing last season, was one of few horses to charge home from off the pace when scoring in rating 82 company. The win kept Londonderry Air’s unbeaten record at Oamaru intact and continued his excellent flat form this campaign.

Like most in-form southern gallopers, the horse will be targeted at the upcoming Grand National Meeting. And despite his impressive flat form, the Anderton stable have not ruled out aiming Londonderry Air at a hurdle event at Riccarton.

Highlanders’ trump card

Briar Hales’ exclusion ‘pretty rough’ – Cocksedge

By Adrian Seconi Ben Smith will play at least one more game for the Highlanders.

The classy All Black outside back has been named in a settled-looking side for the quarter-final against the Crusaders in Christchurch tonight.

Smith has been sidelined since he suffered a hamstring injury during the Highlanders’ 31-31 draw with the Chiefs in early May. He will leave New Zealand rugby at the end of the season and it appeared he might have played his last game for the Highlanders.

But the Dunedin-based team slipped into the Super Rugby playoffs courtesy of a big win against the Waratahs in Invercargill on Friday night.

That has given Smith, who has played 152 games for the Highlanders, a chance to don the jersey again.

His presence is a huge boost for his side, coach Aaron Mauger said.

“His influence in this side is massive [not only] for what he can do on the field in terms of his action, but he just inspires people with his energy,’’ Mauger said.

The Highlanders have a much more menacing look with recent returnees Liam Squire, Jackson Hemopo and Waisake Naholo also bolstering the side’s quality.

There are two other changes to the run-on side which defeated the Waratahs 49-12.

Tevita Li makes way for Sio Tomkinson on the left wing.

Tomkinson is a more robust defender and there is likely to be plenty of heavy traffic nipping down the blind.

“He is one of our strongest de-

fenders in our team and it is going to be a physical battle.

“We are expecting the ball to be wet ... and we just think his ability to defend out in those wide channels [will be needed].

“He is a midfielder primarily but he has also played really well on the wing for us this year.

“He has a great kicking game and he is tough, and that’s what we are going to need.’’

With the Highlanders opting for a six forwards-two backs split on the bench, Tomkinson’s versatility was also another major reason he got the nod.

In the other change, Daniel Lienert-Brown starts ahead of Ayden Johnstone in the front row.

Mauger said the wet conditions which greeted his team in Invercargill last week were the “perfect dress rehearsal’’ for the game against the the Crusaders.

The Highlanders controlled territory well, they were physical and they “worked hard for each other’’.

“Do those three things well and you give yourself a chance to win.’’

The Crusaders will start as favourite but Mauger is keen to remind everyone the score is still 0-0 at kick-off time.

First five-eighth Josh Ioane will be key in keeping the big Crusaders pack running backwards.

“If you look at Josh Ioane’s game last week there is a real step up in his game and all-around performance. We know that he can run and that he is tough.

“But I thought how he controlled the game and the field position was really critical last week and it set us up to score some points.’’

Ben Smith’s presence is a huge boost for the Highlanders in their clash with the Crusaders in Christchurch tonight.

All Black front row lines up for Crusaders

By Patrick McKendry The Highlanders have Ben Smith back for their quarter-final in Christchurch but the Crusaders have been able to select an All Black tight five following the return from injury of both Owen Franks and Codie Taylor, a state of affairs which should hand the advantage firmly to the home side.

In fact, it is the first time this season Franks, Taylor and Joe Moody have started together, and with Scott Barrett and Sam Whitelock in the scrum behind them the pieces appear to be falling into place once again for head coach Scott Robertson, who also has an embarrassment of riches in his backline.

With George Bridge and Sevu Reece the starting wings and Ryan Crotty and Jack Goodhue in the midfield, there is no room in the starting XV for the in-form Braydon Ennor and no room in the match-day 23 for the talented 21-year-old Will Jordan, who has just re-committed to the Crusad-

ers for another three years.

The Crusaders are fresh from their bye week, but after watching the Highlanders thrash the Waratahs in Invercargill and then cling on to a top-eight position as other results went their way, there is a feeling in the south that the visitors are worthy finalists.

“A lot of people thought they might not be in there so they’ve almost got that nothing-to-lose feel which is pretty dangerous to play against,” Franks said after getting the all-clear from a shoulder injury.

“Personally, I think they’ve got the best scrum in the competition so it’s going to be an awesome challenge for us.”

Normally an upbeat character, Crusaders coach Robertson was uncharacteristically quiet in Wednesday’s press conference, presumably because of what’s at stake and possibly because he wants to give the opposition absolutely nothing in terms of extra motivation.

He agreed with Franks’ opinion that the Highlanders’ scrum

Owen Franks is one of the best around.

“It’s going to be a hell of a contest,” he said, adding Franks and Taylor, who is returning from a broken finger, could have played last week.

“They probably could have played in the bye week, so to give them an extra week is great timing. They’ve trained well, they’re keen, they’re fresh as you can get.”

Franks said of his return: “I’m

pretty pumped with the outcome to be honest.

“It’s feeling really good. I think whenever you avoid surgery it’s a win. I’m glad the medical staff here backed me and got me back on the field.”

Robertson acknowledged there were some tough decisions to make around the selection of his backline. It’s hard to name names but Braydon Ennor deserves special mention.

“His form has been incredible, but with George Bridge there and Jack Goodhue at centre … it’s tough on Braydon but the impact he provides us is incredible. That was probably the toughest one for us.”

New Zealand rugby player of the year Kendra Cocksedge has slammed the exclusion of 11-yearold Briar Hale from playing with the boys in a Hawke’s Bay rugby tournament.

Hales, a Year 7 Havelock North Intermediate student, pulled out of her team on Wednesday after five opposition school principals were against her playing with the boys.

The disapproving principals went as far to say that if she competed in the upcoming tournament, her team would not be awarded any points.

But Cocksedge, who was annoyed to read that Hales had been excluded because of her gender, believed the call was wrong.

Crediting much of her rugby success to having played with boys growing up, Cocksedge said the exclusion was “pretty rough” and hoped that the call wouldn’t put Hales off her rugby dreams.

“I am a little bit gutted for her actually.

“I grew up playing with the boys and I think it is an opportunity for her to be able to play,” Cocksedge, who was a member of the Black Ferns’ 2010 and 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup winning squads, said yesterday.

“Looking at the footage of her skills it looks like she’s got some great skills and she is capable to be able to play. It’s a tough one and I just hope that she looks forward and it doesn’t put her off her game.

“Rugby is for everyone and we just want her to play.”

Hawkes Bay Rugby CEO Jay Campbell said that while Hale’s exclusion was not the preferred approach, there was little the governing body could do to change the way in which schools chose to run their competitions.

“Hawke’s Bay Rugby’s policy is very clear, that rugby is a game is for everyone and both males and females can play together in mixed gender grades up to Under 13 level,” Campbell said.

“While it would be fantastic if all tournaments aligned with our policy, we respect the decision of the schools which I am sure they are making for what they perceive to be in the best interests of the tournament.

“While not our preferred approach, having a female only sevens competition at the super 6 tournament, will hopefully expose many young girls to rugby for the first time and this is an exciting element for tournaments such as these.

“My hope is this unfortunate experience doesn’t put Briar off wanting to continue playing and enjoying her rugby.”

Despite the nationwide backlash that resonated as far as the Beehive organisers of the event have dug their heels in. A statement said the call was made partly over health and safety issues as “boys can be bigger, stronger, heavier and faster”.

THE STATS

■■CRICKET

Leading from the front

By Niall Anderson There have been more fluent displays from the bat of Kane Williamson.

Smoother showings.

Technically superior performances.

But few have been more important.

Williamson’s unbeaten 106, capped off with the winning runs in the final over, was the immovable anchor in the Black Caps’ thrilling four-wicket win over South Africa in Birmingham, maintaining their unbeaten start to the Cricket World Cup in incredible style.

The skipper’s maiden World Cup century was of immense importance, and ended up being superbly timed, as Williamson weighed up the conditions, bowlers and situation in order to expertly guide the Black Caps home with three balls to spare.

Vintage Williamson this was not, which in a way, makes his innings even more impressive.

Inside edges flew past the stumps, three times he was hit on the arm, and as he later explained, for large periods he was finding fielders with his welltimed shots, and mistiming most of the rest.

Ashburton Guardian 33

On an Edgbaston wicket that was difficult to score on the entire day, Williamson knew that this task going to require a different type of performance – one where he needed to grind instead of glide.

“Sometimes you knew that you were going to have tough periods out there,” he reflected post-game.

“Going into the innings, it was important that you tried to give yourself a little bit of a break because no one played the free-flowing innings except for, perhaps, [Colin] de Grandhomme, which was obviously very nice to watch.

“You’re just trying to take the game to a stage to not let [the struggles] bother you despite the fact that you always want a few more.”

For Williamson, who always preaches a team-first ethos that never feels inauthentic, that meant he was perfectly content with grafting singles, if de Grandhomme (60 off 47 balls) was blasting away at the other end, keeping the required run rate at a manageable level.

“Taking the focus away from yourself and much more around the situation of where we’re going to be as a team is the focus.

Colin de Grandhomme “It doesn’t really matter as long as the team is moving forward.

“If a guy at the other end hits a boundary and you’re looking at 4.5 an over, then a large part of that over is achieved.

“It didn’t have to be right there right now – which I guess is sometimes the thing that can cloud you – it can be in a few overs.

“You’re just wanting to make the best decisions you can despite at times struggling through different periods of an innings.”

Those struggles nearly result-

ed in his wicket, on multiple occasions.

Imran Tahir thought he had Williamson heading back to the pavilion on 76 with a bottom edge, except nobody else – umpire included – agreed, as the chance for a review went unused.

The replay suggested Tahir had a right to be aggrieved.

On 77, Williamson was nearly run out, only for an errant throw to cause David Miller to knock off the bails without ball in hand.

And, on 91, he nearly spooned a delivery back to Lungi Ngidi – the ball dropping inches short of his diving fingertips.

They were chances that South Africa rued. Severely.

An audacious dab past short third man produced a four when New Zealand needed 12 from seven balls – “I was just looking for a single, to be honest”, grinned Williamson – was followed by a booming six, reminiscent of Grant Elliott’s famous shot, as he brought up his century.

The next ball went for four, completing a superb victory, and one of New Zealand’s greatest World Cup batting displays.

It was difficult. It was a struggle. It was a hell of a grind.

It was, ultimately, brilliant.

■■CYCLING

Roulston back in Olympic mix Former Ashburton Olympian, Hayden Roulston is back in the frame for the Olympics – just this time it’s as a coach.

Cycling New Zealand this week announced the double Olympic medallist’s name alongside its longest-serving sports scientist/ coach, Craig Palmer as the two men who will lead the men’s endurance track programme to the Tokyo Olympics.

Palmer, who joined Cycling New Zealand in 2007 as a sports scientist, has had a stint as women’s endurance coach and coached two-time world champion Alison Shanks and Roulston.

He will become the men’s endurance lead coach and will be joined by Roulston, who takes up a contract role as men’s endurance assistant coach for rider development.

The coaching group will be completed with the addition of Shem Rodger, a former professional rider, national junior coach and academic in the role of training systems specialist.

Palmer was head sports scientist for the track programme post-Beijing through to the 2012 London Olympics, overseeing training and competition performance, and supervision of innovative software initiatives.

Post London Olympics, Palmer moved back to coaching, taking control of the women’s endurance programme before returning to focus on the role as Cycling New Zealand’s sports scientist.

“In this role, Craig has worked very closely with the men’s endurance coaches and we believe he is best suited to move back in control of the squad’s coaching,” said Cycling New Zealand high performance director, Martin Barras.

“The riders know him well and he knows them probably better than they know themselves in terms of their riding skills and approach.

“He has already established the protocols and procedures and was working closely in advising our coaches.”

Palmer said he is looking forward to the challenge.

“I am probably a coach by inclination and with my background,

Ashburton’s Olympic cyclist Hayden Roulston, pictured at the Mid Canterbury Sports Awards earlier this year.

I take a scientific approach to my coaching,” Palmer said.

“We have this endurance squad developing well with their 3:50 team pursuit early this year and the efforts of Campbell Stewart in the omnium giving a glimpse of their abilities.

“With hard work and clear direction, I believe they have the potential to threaten medals in

Tokyo and we will collectively look forward to that challenge.”

Barras said the organisation was thrilled to gain the services of both Roulston and Rodger.

“Hayden did a stint with us as an assistant coach.

“He has such mana as a rider of course, but the riders and staff alike greatly appreciated his input as a coach.

“He will be a huge asset and has all the attributes to develop into an outstanding coach especially in helping nurture younger riders.

“Shem has already had a stint with us as a high performance sports science analyst and as coach of our Subway Hub programme. He has his Masters of Science and he sees his analyt-

ical process through the eyes of a former professional rider and coach.”

Barras said the trio are highly skilled, well respected by the riders and have a clear understanding of the detailed planning and delivery required to both Cycling New Zealand and HPSNZ in the current high performance environment.

■■SQUASH

Crunch time on court for Celtic’s defending champs The Celtic Squash Club will find its champions on the court for 2019 this evening.

When the finals are concluded at the club’s Keenans Road courts, 2018 champions John McDonnell and Julie Smith will find out whether their names will again be engraved on the trophies.

Top seed McDonnell made it into tonight’s final with wins over Mick Hooper and a tough battle with Jason Feutz in the semi-final.

On the other side of the draw Kevin Milne got past Ben Kruger, then had to withstand a massive challenge from Nick Marshall,

who won the first game and just wouldn’t go away, meaning Milne had to dig deep into his box of squash tricks to score a berth in the final.

Feutz and Marshall will provide a fascinating battle tonight in the playoff for third and fourth spots, while on Wednesday night Billy Nolan proved too tough for Chris O’Reilly in the special plate.

James McCloy and Ed Harrison have met on court many a time, and they’ll do it all again in the B grade final tonight.

McCloy left Pete Blacklow and Paul Cousins in his wake on the

way to the big match, while Harrison beat Ron Carlson and Harry Stanway to secure his spot.

Top seed Blair Horrell stumbled in the C grade when he came up against the ever-energetic James Bowker, and Bowker will face second seed Nathan Forbes in that final.

Forbes disposed of Neil Keenan and Rob Giles on his way to the final, so is in his best form for a shot at the trophy.

Jordie Hooper already has his name on the D grade cup several times, and will be looking to add to that number tonight, but Shane

Muckle will have other ideas and that should be a very competitive final.

Reece Wallington was top seed in the E grade and has wrapped up that title, with the final played on Wednesday night.

Hamish Trott lived up to his second seed billing to make the final, but Wallington was just too strong in that clash.

Newcomer Shad Katipa impressed when taking out the classic plate over Sam Kuipers, who came up with some interesting shots in their match on Wednesday.

Julie Smith and Chris Lima were reasonably untroubled in getting to the ladies final, but the fireworks will be all on when they step on the court tonight.

Kate Williams experienced the ups and downs of squash over the tournament, having to face up to the might of top seed Smith in her first match, but in the special plate on Wednesday night she came out on top in a titanic five-setter with Jane Kingan, both players producing their very best squash.

The finals are scheduled to start around 7.30 tonight, and all spectators are welcome.

FOR SALE

It’sWarrior v Warrior The Kiwis host Mate Ma’a Tonga at Mt Smart Stadium tomorrow night. Christopher Reive looks at the three key match ups in the game.

Ken Maumalo v David Fusitu’a Maumalo and Fusitu’a are used to being on the pitch together, but this weekend they’ll be in the unfamiliar position of facing off against one another. For the Warriors this season, Maumalo has been the more in-form of the two and has become one of the team’s most reliable options on attack. Fusitu’a’s try-scoring prowess is well documented, leading the NRL’s try-scoring count last season, and will likely be a focus of the Tongan attack at the end of sets.

The two will want to best their NRL teammate, so keep your eyes on them.

Shaun Johnson v John Asiata It’s a case of the veteran taking on the rookie.

Shaun Johnson, who has missed a chunk of the NRL season due to injury, will likely

outshine Asiata in the attacking game.

Johnson has proven ability to run the attack; be it through his playmaking or taking on the defence.

Asiata has spent most of his NRL career in the forwards, but is a great ball player and more than capable of making plays.

But, in his Tongan debut, the question is whether he’s up to the task of test football and if he will be able to steer the ship when called upon.

Brandon Smith v Siliva Havili If we know one thing for sure it’s that the dummy halves will be in for a busy night on the defensive end.

Both teams are fielding forward packs that aren’t just big, but mobile too. Smith and Havili will be required to make a lot of tackles; with the likes of Jason Taumalolo and Isaac Liu charging up the middle.

They’re not going to play 80 minutes, but making their tackles and organising the defence will go a long way to getting their team a result.

About 500 stars make up the cluster, but only seven can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Traditionally, it is a time for reflection and renewal, for spending time with the whānau (family), and planning for the year ahead.

We are celebrating the reappearance of the Matariki star cluster at the Gallery by inviting visitors to make their very own woven star, to create a Matariki star cluster up our stairway.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You know yourself better than ever, and you know what you want. As generous as an offer may be, if it doesn’t work for you, then move along without fuss or regret.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re drawn to quirky people, ones who surprise and baffle you with their non-typical responses. Even though you understand them better than most, they still keep you on your toes.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ve not been great at giving yourself pep talks, but you’ll get better with practice. Practice today. The best encouragement you could possibly get will be from you to you.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Yes, this looks like what you’ve already seen. If you approach it like you already know, you’ll miss what’s there and make mistakes. Your mantra for top performance: Everything that happens is new.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Greed continues to be the worst quality. The immunisation for the disease of greed is self-acceptance. Avoid greedy people at all costs, and take measures necessary not to become one of them.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Life is a constant negotiation today, though most back and forth just seems like your daily routine. When to smile, whom to help, how to approach relationships – these are subtle agreements you make ... or don’t.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): While there’s much satisfaction in making a fair exchange, there’s a higher level to be reached. Happiness is ... a trade that is not only fair; it also brings an element of delight to both parties.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You are the grandmaster of paradox today. For you, doing nothing is harder than doing something – in the same way that not thinking is harder than thinking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It is said that spicy food raises the metabolism, and spicy living does the same for energy. You’ll add a little risk, novelty and excitement, and suddenly, things will pick up across the board.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Humanity’s worst sins have been crimes of indifference – people who could have helped stood by, not fully comprehending their human responsibilities.

You understand. You’ll wake people up.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Sincerity is better than falsehood, but one person’s truth won’t make a difference for all involved. You go 10 steps beyond to really understand everyone’s part in the situation and present solutions.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re drawn to unexplored territories today, and it’s very likely that you’ll be the one to make discoveries and map out the terrain for those who come along later.

Ashburton golf pro Matthew Davis is putting on a school holiday programme for golf coaching this July.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

Pro golf coaching for kids Ashburton golf pro Matthew Davis is preparing to host a two-day golf school holiday programme for kids in the coming July school holidays.

It’s not the first time he’s tried to put on a spot of holiday golf coaching for youngsters, but his

past attempts haven’t been so well supported.

This time, though, he’s hopeful it will be different.

Davis, an NZPGA golf professional, is based at the Ashburton Golf Club and it’s there that he’s putting on the programme.

It will take place on July 11 and 12, and both days will run from 11am until 2pm, with a 30 minute break for lunch.

Day one will be about having a bit of fun with SNAG golf (starting new at golf), learning the basics of chipping and putting, and fun

games and competitions.

Day two will see the kids actually get out on the golf course and have a team game and a prizegiving afterwards to finish it off.

Davis said registration is essential because the programme will only go ahead if there are enough

numbers for it to run.

It will cost $50 per school student for both days, or $30 for one day, and registrations can be phoned through to the Ashburton Pro Shop on 03 308 9380 or emailed to segagolf01@gmail. com.
