What they’re saying ...

What they’re saying about Jacinda Ardern’s new coalition government: “Whether you’re a townie or a cockie, when it comes down to it we all have the same hopes and aspirations – Federated Farmers is looking forward to getting around the table” – Federated Farmers’ president Katie Milne.

“All three parties have pledged increases in student financial support and free tertiary education. We look forward to seeing that become a reality” – NZ Union of Students’ Associations.

“On behalf of working people, I can say how excited we are to have a coalition government who have committed to lifting incomes, to women actually getting equal pay and to ending poverty in New Zealand” – CTU secretary Sam Huggard.

“Based on policy announced before the election, the EMA is keen to better understand how the new government will work with business on labour relations” – Employers and Manufacturers Association.

“The new government has an historic opportunity to unlock a future where New Zealanders thrive in harmony with nature” – WWF New Zealand.

“We’re looking at an exciting new progressive partnership between three parties that have campaigned on commitments that deal with the biggest issues affecting New Zealanders” – PSA. “While we need the formal coalition agreement and other information to see what the change will mean for New Zealand, the indications are that it will be major” – Taxpayers’ Union.

“If the Greens are going to stay with the policy of allowing immigration at current levels, how will the new government be able to implement their policy of reducing migrant numbers?”

– NZ Association for Migration and Investment.

Jacinda Ardern will announce the portfolios of ministers next week.

Ardern announces her Cabinet Prime Minister in waiting Jacinda Ardern yesterday announced 16 ministers inside Cabinet and five ministers outside Cabinet to serve in the next Government – elected by caucus.

Inside caucus will be: Ardern, David Clark, Clare Curran, Kelvin Davis, Chris Hipkins, Iain Lees-Galloway, Andrew Little, Nanaia Mahuta, Stuart Nash, Damien O’Connor, David Parker, Grant Robertson, Jenny Salesa, Carmel Sepuloni, Phil Twyford and Megan Woods. While sitting outside cabinet are: Kris Faafoi, Peeni Henare, Willie Jackson, Aupito William Sio, Meka Whaitiri.

Ardern said she could look at changing portfolios and that was something she would consider in coming days.

She will announce the portfolios of ministers next week.

Ardern said there was immense interest in both economic development and regional economic development.

“I want to spend a bit of time making sure I get alignment” in those portfolios.

Asked about Labour’s 100-day plan, she said it will “broadly” stay the same.

Transport was another portfolio that could be split, but she again said it was something she would look at in coming days.

“We are retaining our policy on the tax cuts and our policy on the families package.

That means dumping National’s plans and replacing it with Labour’s package that was substantially more generous “to lower income families”.

She said her personal view on cannabis use was that people should not be impris-

oned for cannabis use. She was looking for a “workable” solution, and the current “justice-based” approach wasn’t working. It was a conversation that needed to be had with the rest of New Zealand.

Ardern said she had spoken with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and would be speaking to UK Prime Minister Theresa May. The call with Turnbull was “warm and friendly”. She hoped to go to Australia “sooner rather than later”, but making the Government official was more important at the moment.

She had not received a call from US President Donald Trump, but would take it if it happened. She said she wanted everything lined up so ministers can be sworn in on Thursday.

Price of power ‘too high’

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

COLIN.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Jacinda Ardern and the Labour Party have paid too high a price for power and they will more than likely come to regret it, Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury president Mike Salvesen says.

The deal that rewarded New Zealand First with four ministerial posts and an undersecretary role outside cabinet on just 7 per cent of the vote was “a bit out of line”, Salvesen said.

“They’ve extracted an extraordinarily high price for the partnership. It’s out of proportion to their support. Too much influence.”

Salvesen said he would be surprised if the coalition partners would find it easy to work together.

“Somewhere along the line there’s going to be some quite serious disagreements.

“It will be interesting to see how they hold it together.

“I just hope they remember that they are there to govern for all New Zealanders, not just the people who voted for them.”

He was, however, keen to take whatever positives he could get and said the impending demise of the proposed water tax was something that would please the rural community.

Most Mid Canterbury farmers were already operating in terms of best practice, he said, so punishing them through an extra tax on water that no-one else in the country would pay was unfair and unnecessary.

Labour’s proposal to include agriculture in an emissions trading scheme was a concern, Salvesen said, as although the science to mitigate those emissions was improving, it was not available to

farmers yet. He said most other countries do not include ruminant emissions in their trading schemes “so why should we?”

“We need to think carefully about the consequences of doing that.”

Although he thought National Party leader Bill English came across well during the election campaign, Salvesen did not expect him to hang around for long in opposition.

“I think he’ll move on to something else.”

As English was a list MP he could walk away from parliament without the need for a by-election, he said, opening up the leadership role of the parliamentary branch of the party to some new blood.

“Maybe they need to think about someone who’s more of a street fighter, who can connect with younger voters.”

In the meantime Salvesen’s advice to farmers was simple.

“Hang in there and be careful with your spending. Don’t overspend on frivolous items.”

That included being careful about spending on environmental compliance.

“Do the minimum necessary to comply with current legislation, because if the legislation changes you’re going to have to do it all over again.”

Falloon focused on Rangitata

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

COLIN.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton District won’t be severely disadvantaged by having its electorate MP sitting in opposition, despite the incoming government being more focused on Auckland than the regions, Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon says.

Falloon said his focus was on being a strong and effective advocate for local people, pushing for things like further investment in roading, the continued rollout of ultrafast broadband, “and opposing all the new taxes that Labour, the Greens and NZ First proposed during the election campaign”.

However, he did not expect the four-laning of the road between Ashburton and Christchurch, which the National Party announced support for during the election campaign, to gain much traction with the new government, Left – Andrew Falloon

given both Labour and the Greens have signalled they are more interested in pouring funding into Auckland rail projects.

Although detail about possible changes to immigration numbers is yet to be announced, Falloon said he was concerned about the likelihood of substantial cuts in that area and the effect that would have on regional communities like the Ashburton District.

“We need skilled and semiskilled migrants in places like Ashburton to do jobs that we can’t find labour for.”

He said unemployment in the area was very low and many employers were struggling to fill vacancies, which was affecting productivity.

Although it was disappointing that National was unable to form a government, especially given that nearly one in two voters opted

for the party, Falloon said the focus now was ensuring it played a strong role in opposition.

“We’re the largest party in parliament and we’ve got a tight and cohesive team, so we will be holding the Government to account,” Falloon said.

He said he had used the time following the election productively, getting things up and running in the electorate, including employing staff for offices in Ashburton and Timaru, and meeting with a range of community stakeholders and leaders.

“I’ve been getting my teeth into constituency work, advocating for people with a number of government agencies like ACC, Housing New Zealand and the District Health Board.”

Hinds-based Labour list MP Jo Luxton was unable to be reached for comment.

Greenfields users could be funders ■ OPINIONS

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury Rugby will be the big winner with the greenfields development around Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre.

But as well as being a user, it could also be a financial contributor to the development, said its chief executive Ian Patterson.

“In general terms the answer to that is yes, it’s at what level,” he said.

A draft master plan for the greenfields development was released to Ashburton District councillors this week and included four full-size rugby fields and a softball diamond.

When the idea was first floated, the association was first off the rank when it came to signalling interest and that hasn’t changed, Patterson said.

The association is renegotiating its current lease on land at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds, but looking to the future, the ideal would be to have playing fields that were not shared with other non-sporting activities, he said.

“The council asked us what our requirements might be and the reality is, we accept this is a longterm plan project rather than something immediate; it doesn’t change our short-term plans,” Patterson said.

Councillors were concerned

Mid Canterbury Rugby would be one of the big winners out of the proposed new sports facility.

that having a dedicated rugby hub could see some rugby clubs abandon their own grounds, but Patterson said that could be a positive long-term result.

“Rugby clubs generally are over-invested in buildings and I think some of the clubs are finding it quite challenging in terms of meeting the costs of their facilities,” he said.

There were plenty of examples of clubs that had successfully consolidated their playing fields, Patterson said.

To help the plan move forward, council open spaces manager Da-

vid Askin said his next step would be to talk to the rugby union about any financial involvement and the level this might be at.

Estimates are the greenfields development (without the stadium) could cost around $4.5 million.

It will be developed on eight hectares of council-owned land and, while it would be ideal to have a large block available, its neighbours are a mix of private owners and DOC. The council is in negotiation, Askin said, to buy a slice of DOC land on the southern boundary.

“If we were able to buy more

land, it would certainly help,” he said.

An early greenfields plan looked to accommodate rugby, cricket, hockey and bowls.

Both the council and surrounding blocks of land are zoned Business D and the development is likely to require a resource consent.

The development plan is in its infancy and the council will be throwing it in the spending mix when it looks at how rates money will be spent over the next 10 years during its long-term plan discussions.

EA centre greenfields without compromise

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Yes it’s another big cash investment in recreational facilities, but there’s every chance a greenfields development around Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre is on the horizon.

That the council is looking at this option should come as no surprise.

It’s been on the radar since the stadium complex was built and it’s high time it moved from idea to the drawing board at least.

If there’s any criticism of what’s proposed it’s that it doesn’t go far enough.

The first draft masterplan unveiled this week shows eight-plus hectares of land dedicated to

SENIOR REPORTER

rugby and softball, with perhaps a double-sided grandstand in the centre.

If that’s all we’re looking at we’re selling ourselves short.

This is Ashburton’s one opportunity to develop a major outdoor sports complex and we need to get it right.

First up we need more land.

Eight hectares is simply not

enough. The original concept was for this area to include bowling greens, a hockey turf and cricket grounds as well.

Currently they don’t fit.

Land surrounding the council’s block is in a mix of private and DOC ownership. Deals can and should be done.

We must learn from the EA Networks experience. Cost was the over-riding deterrent to building the ideal. Corners were cut, elements shaved off and while what we’ve ended up with has been an absolute success, there have been a fair few patch-up jobs needed – air-conditioning, sound systems, a better designed sports house, a gym that’s too small, indoor courts that now need to be extended and

a pool complex that’s over-used to a point where learn-to-swim lessons are full.

All of those can be fixed – in stages and at far greater cost than if we’d built the Mercedes rather than the Mini model at the outset.

The council needs to buy more land, build a master plan that includes a home for all.

Start with developing fields for rugby, cricket and softball, but have land in the bank for other sports to become part of Ashburton’s sporting heart as and when they’re ready.

Think big, plan big and don’t compromise. We have one opportunity to get this right and we don’t want to tell latecomers there’s no room at the inn.

The Ashburton District Council’s plans to develop playing fields around the EA Networks Centre have struck a chord – and discord – with the district’s residents.

Facebook’s Ashburton Noticeboard has become a de facto forum for airing views on the project.

Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel opened the debate with a post asking people for their thoughts on the project: “Great day in the Council Chambers.

“We kicked the day off with potential development plans for the outdoor space west of EA Networks Centre – including more carparks, rugby and softball fields. The size of the land is approximately 8 hectares – What do you think?...”

Facebook followers were quick to respond.

Including a softball diamond in the mix has been applauded by some and there were suggestions of a velodrome, equestrian ring, agricultural park, scooter tracks, BMX tracks, rollerskating and skateboarding parks.

Sports fans were clearly keen on the idea.

Posters who were not so enthusiastic suggested the council should focus on getting the library and civic centre rebuild sorted out first, that it should focus on improving roads, building a second bridge, moving the rail shunting yard out of town and many said the EA Networks Centre should be extended to included bigger pools and a hydroslide.

The project is in its infancy with the council this week seeing a first draft masterplan for development on land west of the EA Networks Centre.

Yee-haw, it’s rodeo weekend PHOTOS MATT MARKHAM 201017-MM-001

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Some of the best bucking bulls and horses in New Zealand were quietly munching breakfast today. At the Methven Rodeo tomorrow, they will be different beasts.

The animals are bred for rodeo work and it is their first outing of the new rodeo season at Methven.

Rodeo committee president Stephen Sauer said it was also important for the cowboys who will ride them to claim early points in the national competition.

In the premier open bull ride, cowboys must survive eight seconds on the back of a beast weighing in at around 800kg.

The more difficult the bull, the more challenging the ride … but more potential to score points from the judges.

The same applies to the broncos, with cowboys wary of reputations.

Sauer said the animals were treated under a strict welfare code and an experienced veterinarian would be on course tomorrow to make sure there were no issues. “The last thing we want is for an animal to get hurt.”

Thousands of people are expected to attend the annual event

and Sauer said the day was geared toward family entertainment.

Second division competitions will run during the morning with open classes in the afternoon; there will also be barrel racing and calf roping.

Sauer said some of the best cowboys and cowgirls in the country would be competing and

weather for the day was shaping up to be fine.

All up, there are around 300 entries across the different events.

Refreshments and food are available at the arena, though anyone wanting to buy alcohol must prove they are over 18 years of age. While the rodeo will wrap up late afternoon, there will be

live music in several venues in Methven at night.

Profits from the rodeo are redistributed to clubs and causes in the Methven district and tomorrow’s rodeo will be the 48th.

Organisers will be spending today putting the final touches on the yards and arena ahead of tomorrow’s action.

Police seize Christchurch gang pad Police have seized the Christchurch gang pad of the Head Hunters Motorcycle Club.

Under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009, restraining orders were granted by the High Court at Christchurch in relation to motorcycles and residential properties, including the Vickerys Road gang clubhouse.

The civil proceedings follow a police operation last year in which the Canterbury Police Organised Crime Unit charged who they

allege are “key members” of the Head Hunters gang with organised crime and methamphetamine dealing offences, including senior figure Lyndon Richardson.

“We have a zero tolerance approach to gangs and criminals operating across Canterbury,” said District Commander Superintendent John Price.

“Gangs drive organised crime across New Zealand and reducing the harm they cause

to families and communities is a priority for police, as demonstrated by today’s proceedings.”

Police raided the Sockburn gangpad yesterday morning. One patched member was led away by police. Others wearing Head Hunters hoodies were seen outside the gated property with multiple security cameras while police were searching inside.

The Christchurch moves come after the

execution of search warrants and an extensive investigation into a senior member of the Head Hunters gang in Auckland recently. Police froze $6 million of property from Head Hunters’ 62-year-old boss Wayne Doyle.

Over the past three years, the Aucklandbased Head Hunters have been specifically targeted in at least 12 police investigations across the country, the Herald earlier reported.

Guns, drugs, cars, and cash have been seized in Northland, Auckland, Tauranga, Rotorua, Wairarapa, Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch.

“The intention of the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 is to disrupt, deter, and derail crime, especially in the areas of organised crime and methamphetamine offending,” said Detective Superintendent Iain Chapman, National Manager Financial Crime Group.

“Our work in this area denies criminals the opportunity to either enjoy the benefits of offending or to reinvest those proceeds in further criminal activity.”

Any assets ultimately forfeited are managed by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).

Money from that fund is then bid for by government agencies.

Given the investigation is ongoing, police say that no further i n f o rmation is available at this time.

Ashburton College students Bobbie Rushton and Hannah Mae Jerao

Students at Ashburton College had a visit from a drug detection dog on Thursday.

The bags of 1200 students were checked for any suspicious contents, in a visit organised by principal Ross Preece.

Preece said the check fulfilled a number of functions – firstly acting as “a deterrent to any student considering doing anything stupid”, and secondly reassuring the Ashburton community that the college is a safe place to attend.

“It provides factual data to counter those who like to spread destructive urban myths about our college,” he said.

Of all the students checked, one individual was found to have “a very small amount” of something on him. Preece said the school was dealing with the student and their family.

The random check was not planned in response to anything in particular and Preece said the school would be likely to organise further random checks in future.

Five rural pools built on Ashburton District Council land have had a stay of execution.

Rural pools safe – for now

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The committee members who run five rural pools built on Ashburton District Council land heaved a sigh of relief earlier this week when they were told there had been a backdown on tough health and safety rules that could have kept them closed for business this summer.

Committees running pools at Ruapuna, Hinds, Mt Somers and Rakaia had been told that a tough new health and safety regime would mean they might find themselves needing to find trained lifeguards for the summer.

Requirements likely to be imposed by the Ashburton District Council (owner of the reserve land on which the pools were built) were designed to ensure the council was not found negligent if an accident occurred at any of the pools.

If the council took the proposed tough line, the pools would all have remained closed this year, but councillor Peter Reveley went in to bat for the committees and convinced his fellow councillors to take a softer approach to the new regulations.

He met with committee members earlier this week and said that meeting was a positive one and those attending went away feeling much more confident that they could open for the summer.

Mayfield’s pool committee members were one of those heaving a huge sigh of relief on the council’s back-down on requiring trained pool attendants to be on site when their pool was open.

The new regulations would have seen those pools remain closed for the summer because it would be too hard to find and train staff. The council has since stepped back from that requirement – for now.

Mayfield pool spokeswoman Sarah Dunkley said that finding and training those people would have been impossible and it would have been impractical to have trained people on duty for a pool that op-

erated a key access system.

Her team is now frantically trying to do the maintenance work that had been put on hold ahead of a planned opening early next month.

“We’re about a month or two behind,” she said.

Like other pools, however, Mayfield will still be struggling to meet one of the requirements – having volunteers sample and treat pool water twice each day.

“We met last night and there were only five of us there. We’d normally have a roster to do this testing, but with only five of us we’d be doing it every one or two days,” Dunkley said.

She’s now desperately trying to find enough volunteers to man the testing roster so pool keys can be sold for the summer.

“People think this is a big job, it’s not but we have to have people willing to do it.”

Under the current key sale regime, Mayfield will not need to have a pool supervisor on site, but Dunkley believes this might change in the future and opening hours might need to be set and supervisors trained.

“There’s still a lot of unknowns, but certainly if the council pushed ahead with lifeguards that would be the end for us,” she said.

Representatives of the five pools met with councillors and council staff on Tuesday and were told that this season needed to be one of data collection on pool use.

“They want to know who is coming and going, but with a key system, how do we do this? Where does responsibility stop and start, we’re so PC now. We’re limping along from one season to the next now and financially it’s really tough.”

The community is not the only user of Mayfield’s pool, it is also used by the village school for its swimming programme.

“So if we close the pool then the kids don’t swim,” Dunkley said.

It’s circus show time in the domain

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Towering circus tents have sprouted up in the Ashburton Domain, as the Weber Brothers Circus hit show time.

The largest touring circus in Australasia kicked off their 12show, nine-day visit with their first performance of Adrenaline last night.

Among those hard at work rehearsing and setting-up yesterday was aerial artist Kiarnna Weber, who was born and raised in the circus along with her six siblings. Her parents Marie and Harry are the circus directors.

Kiarnna said the 50-member circus are all very happy to be in Ashburton.

“We’ve had a massive trip down from Palmerston North, but it’s so good to be here where it’s warm and the grass is green,” she said.

“We love coming to new places … and I think the last time I saw Ashburton was about 11 years ago.”

After eight years travelling the globe, Ashburton marks the first stop on the circus’ South Island tour. The circus spent a day-anda-half setting up and will be here until October 29.

Kiarnna said the Adrenaline show promises to be “very excit-

“We’ve brought the globe of death, the FMX and the human cannon,” she said.

“The FMX riders will jump over

the globe of death – something which has never been done before and it’s the first time a human cannon has been used in New Zealand in 20 years.”

Pole artists, a laser show, slapstick comedy, trapeze and Kiarnna’s aerial silk performances are also set to wow the crowd.

“I love hearing the excitement

Tickets for the Adrenaline can be bought on-site, at Regent Cinema or at iticket.co.nz.

Ashburton misses out on top sausage awards They entered their best and tastiest sausages, but Ashburton’s butchers have come home empty-handed from this years’ competition to find New Zealand’s best sausage.

Paddy Kennedy from Allenton Meats and Mike Hanson, Netherby Meats, are both regulars in the annual top sausage competition. Both have been category winners in the past and Kennedy has taken a supreme title for a beef and blue cheese banger, but this year was not to be their year.

The competition is judged over 12 categories with gold, silver and bronze medals awarded.

Gold medallists are then judged against one another for the supreme sausage title.

This year’s supreme award went to the Akaroa Butchery and Deli for its Boudin Noir, a black pudding sausage.

People’s choice went to Albany’s Mad Butcher for a chicken, pumpkin and feta creation.

Five signs you should have your hearing checked. fected when communication with our loved ones is disrupted by hearing loss,” says local Audiologist, Ron Trouson from House of Hearing in Ashburton.

The five clear signs that your hearing is not entirely as it should be are.

Hearing loss generally develops over many years; the effects become apparent only gradually. This makes it difficult for those affected to recognise that they are actually suffering from a hearing impairment. Family and friends are often the first to realise that something is wrong.

Hearing loss is not only a problem for the hearing impaired individual, but also for friends and relatives.

“Leaving a hearing loss untreated can have many negative consequences for our quality of life, impacting the things we enjoy such as spending time with friends and family. This causes frustration and social isolation which can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety. Personal relationships are af-

1. Do you find it difficult to understand phone conversations clearly?

2. Does your family complain about the volume when you are listening to the radio or television?

3. Do you find it difficult to follow a conversation in noisy environments?

4. Do you often feel exhausted after family celebrations because listening is such an effort?

5. Do you hear better when you can look at the person talking to you?

All these are typical signs of a hearing impairment. But don’t worry; hearing loss is not something simply to be endured.

You can and should do something about it. Can you do something to reduce the negative impacts of hearing loss, and improve your health for the future? Absolutely!

ge in

Reporter Susan Sandys takes her 19-yea

“

As soon as we walk out of that airport, there will be people trying to get our money,” I said to Brooke as I prepared to take her to New York for her tertiary education.

It was the beginning of one journey, from small town Methven in New Zealand, and the end of another, that of at-home parenting. Brooke was to be the last of my little flock of two to move out of home.

So all those years of love and laughter, mixed in with singlemum slog and toil, were coming to a close, forever. There was of course tears at the airport as she said goodbye to friends and family, and we boarded our flight.

About 33 hours later, which was travel time including two stops in Sydney and Los Angeles, we ar-

rived at our JFK Airport destination, jetlagged.

Just as I had predicted, cash soon began to make its merry march from my wallet, but it started before we even got out of the airport.

Requiring a SIM card, I went up to the only phone shop I could see and bought its lowest priced plan – $US59. Cheap, except it wasn’t. I had initially hesitated, but the shop representative did what New Yorkers do, she bartered, and turned it into a twoweek plan for the same price.

I was to later find out it is better to buy a SIM card designed especially for tourists once you are in town, they are better plans for half the cost.

Coming out of the airport wheeling two bags each, with

other bags over our shoulders, we managed to avoid a persuasive taxi driver and a tempting line of taxis, and followed our goal of finding the air train and linking to the New York Long Island Rail Road and subway. As a reasonably experienced traveller I am used to doing things this way, it’s amazing how much you can save when you look into it.

The clean spaciousness of the airport and air train soon became substituted for the crowded griminess of the subway system.

The most daunting thing was when we had to climb the stairways out of the subway on to the streets above. There did not seem to be any elevators and it was a matter of lugging all our bags up.

This was a logistical nightmare as we did not want to leave some

at the bottom unattended in case they were stolen. But New York is like every other city in the world in that it has plenty of nice people and thankfully there were some around to help.

Outside on a crowded 8th Avenue it was 31°C. We were plunged into the Manhattan cityscape, a melting pot filled with the millions who work and live there, as well as the homeless, hustlers, artists, models, the rich and beautiful, street performers, and heaps upon heaps of tourists.

Wealthy people seem to get around mainly in cars, as there’s a lot of expensive vehicles. The sound of tooting horns quickly became familiar and I later found out this is from drivers warning pedestrians to get out of the way.

Trundling along with our bags,

several blocks later we came upon our accommodation – mine a quirky first-floor guesthouse and Brooke’s at what would be her home for the next two years, a large gracious residence with a rooftop featuring a pretty cool backdrop in the form of a New York skyline.

It is run by a congregation of sisters with the grounding philosophy of providing an affordable home away from home for women pursuing their educational and career goals. It was fantastic to meet the people there, they were lovely and it really did feel like a second home.

Over the next few days Brooke and I had a great time, marred only slightly by three more incidents of gravitating cash.

One was when I was walking by

ar-old daughter to New York, where they both wise up on big-city ways. myself in the daytime, probably still a bit tired and jetlagged, and someone seeming to give away CDs placed one into my hand.

“It’s my album, where you from, what’s your name?”

He was Mr Manhattan, a rap singer trying to make it in the Big Apple. It would be good music to do my exercises by, he said, and somehow I ended up parting with $5.

“Oh mum,” Brooke said when I met up with her. “Nothing is for free. You just have to be polite and make a quick escape.”

An internet search revealed it is a common New York scam called the CD Bullies.

Central Park was one of our highlights, we happened to see a movie being filmed there and enjoyed seeing iconic settings

such as the sailboat lake which features in so many films. As we sat on a grassy hill there, trying to cool down, three young men carrying boxes approached us.

“We are raising money to keep kids off the streets and out of gangs,” one of them said. “We train them in a basketball team and buy them uniforms like this,” he added, tugging on the basketball singlet he was wearing.

“Would any of you two ladies like to support us today?”

Just like Mr Manhattan, the trio were charming and friendly, and next thing Brooke was paying $10 for two small packets of lollies.

We don’t know whether it was legitimate or not; they seemed to decide the pricing depending on what they thought we could pay.

Walking around all the attrac-

tions, it is easy to get tired and hungry, and the familiarity of a Subway or a Starbucks is always welcome. I ended up in conversation with an elderly man we had just got a Subway flyer from, on the footpath of a busy intersection, as we had to wait for the lights to change.

He said to me: “I am poor man, I am 83, I earn $20 per day doing this, I am from Bangladesh, my son works here in the city. I would really like to buy myself a coffee, can you give me some money for a coffee?”

I had some change in my wallet, money I had almost felt guilty about not having given to any of the beggars we had seen on the streets.

I gave him a $1 note and what I thought was a quarter, but it was

just 5 cents. In his friendly way, he did not appear impressed. “Oh well, that’s all I have,” I laughed, then the lights changed and we could cross the road.

A few days later as we sat in Union Square, where we missed by a few hours seeing a pop-up naked statue of Donald Trump, Brooke noticed a slightly unkempt man talking to people on park benches. “He’s asking for money,” she said, “Let’s go on our phones.” It seemed we had learned the determined body language of hardened New Yorkers and the man did not approach us.

I didn’t have time to put on my Mr Manhattan CD after arriving home last month, but decided to do this the other day. It was really bad. It features a monologue of swearing and then there are some

instrumental pieces, which may be rapping backing tracks.

It is definitely not what I will remember Manhattan by, which is a great area with so much to do – Times Square, Broadway, Empire State Building, World Trade Centre memorial site and Freedom Tower, Battery Park looking out to the Statue of Liberty, incredible libraries, museums, art galleries and parks, and the Highline walkway, just to name a few things.

And New York is of course the concrete jungle where dreams are made, as the Alicia Keys song goes.

That is why Brooke is there, studying performance at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. She is having a wonderful time and I can’t wait to get back there and see her again.

“Peters’ talk of fighting capitalism and his (and Labour’s) more populist agenda don’t sound market-friendly at face value, but the reality is that we’ll likely see only a minor shift in economic direction,” said Jason Wong, currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand, in a note. “A cloud will overhang the NZD until we get more policy detail over the coming week.”

First Qantas Dreamliner touches down

Migration continues to cool New Zealand’s annual net inflow of new migrants continued to cool in September as the lure of Australia starts attracting local residents across the Tasman.

Annual net migration was 71,000 in September, still up from the 70,000 net inflow a year earlier, but extending the slowdown from a peak in July, Statistics New Zealand said.

Of that, annual permanent and long-term arrivals rose 5 per cent to 131,600 from a year earlier, while departures climbed 9 per cent to 60,600.

New Zealand’s inflow of new migrants was latched on to by political parties in the September general election, with the final decision on which bloc would form government announced yesterday.

Yesterday’s data continue a trend of slowing net migration,

with the seasonally adjusted figures showing a monthly inflow of 5,190 in the month of September, the smallest intake since June 2015.

Net migration figures had been bolstered by a reluctance of Kiwis to shift across the Tasman as Australia’s economy went through a downturn and New Zealanders lost access to certain government supports.

However, yesterday’s figures show an annual net outflow to Australia of 66 people in September, the first annual net outflow since September 2015.

The number of people moving to New Zealand from Australia shrank 3 per cent in the year to September 30 from a year earlier, while departures rose 5.2 per cent.

ASB Bank senior economist Mark Smith said in a note that the “improving Australian labour

market, if sustained, could further slow net immigration via triggering increased PLT (permanent long-term) departures across the ditch.”

Yesterday’s figures also show tourism remains robust, with annual visitor arrivals up 9 per cent to 3.68 million in the year ended September 30.

That was driven by a 5.9 per cent gain in visitors from Australia to 1.47 million, while Chinese visitors increased an annual 0.6 per cent to 407,700. US visitors were the third-biggest pool for visitors, up 18 per cent in the year to 319,500, followed by the UK which increased an annual 14 per cent to 246,000.

ASB’s Smith said visitor arrivals keeping posting “new annual record highs and reflect a booming market for inbound tourism.”

“The arrival of the Dreamliner coincides with a new chapter for Qantas.

“We’re recruiting more pilots and cabin crew, we’re expanding the number of places we fly.”

The first Dreamliner will fly a number of domestic passenger services around Australia to help with crew familiarisation before

its first international service from Melbourne to Los Angeles in December this year.

The second Qantas Dreamliner is on the production line at Boeing’s Seattle factory and will be delivered by early December. Two more Dreamliners will be delivered by March to coincide with the start of Perth-London services. All eight will have arrived by the end of 2018.

So far more than 600 of the planes have been delivered to about 60 airlines after a rocky start to the Dreamliner programme.

Air New Zealand was the launch customer for the 787-9 and got the first of its planes in 2014.

Qantas’ first Boeing 787-9 touched down in Sydney yesterday after a low-level swoop down the city’s harbour trailed by helicopters shooting footage of the plane.

The plane, VH-ZNA, was greeted by more than 1000 staff, politicians and guests in a hangar.

Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said his airline had rediscovered “its mojo” and the aircraft would give it capability to fly new routes and make savings on fuel.

Three years ago the airline suffered heavy losses on international routes.

“We’ve taken delivery of hundreds of aircraft in our 98-year history but only a few of them have been game-changers like

The stock market selloff was broad-based. Forty stocks fell, five gained and five were unchanged on the NZX 50 this morning. Retirement village operators led the decline.

ment strategy Greg Fleming said now that the election outcome is known “investors holding New Zealand assets will need to re-examine some of their assumptions about domestic economic policy and direction, many of which have been taken for granted during the last decade.”

He said the change of government is part of “a rising tide of impatience with the established order, and the probability that dissatisfied elements around the world would wield more influence in the political economy than has been the recent norm.”

For New Zealand stocks, which have made gains of 18 per cent this year, Fleming says that barring an unlikely sharp rise in interest rates, the share market “is likely to retain a good part of those gains.”

Demand for New Zealand shares “is strong, both because of domestic retirement savings and international support driven by yield and diversification,” he said.

Labour and NZ First may also increase spending on infrastructure, in a boon to companies ranging from telecoms and IT to utilities and construction firms, Fleming said.

The New Zealand dollar fell as much as 2 per cent and the benchmark stock index dropped more than 1 per cent as the certainty of a three-term National government, under which the economy grew and equities rallied, was replaced by a coalition that may prove fractious and unconventional.

The Kiwi dollar fell as low as 70.07 US cents from 71.29 cents before the announcement on the new government yesterday. The S&P/NZX 50 Index fell 1.1 per cent to 8037.39, the lowest in almost two weeks, and swap rates fell in the wake of the NZ First Party’s decision to team up with Labour, installing Jacinda Ardern as prime minister and handing ministerial positions to MPs from both NZ First and the Greens.

OUR VIEW

Who will be calling the shots?

Matt Markham

EDITOR

L

ess than 48 hours after the decision that divided our country, it would seem we already have a lone wolf masquerading under the guise of a vivacious, young and bright lamb.

Yes, Jacinda Ardern is our new prime minister but, is the reality that she is just the puppet with Kingmaker Winston pulling all the strings from behind the curtain?

You would hope not.

NZ First, for a party who received just 7 per cent of the vote, have walked away from negotiations having done quite incredibly.

Not only do they have an element of the power, but they also managed to pick up four ministerial posts and an undersecretary role outside of cabinet – a seemingly rather high price for a party which polled so low.

Truth be told, we don’t know what the impact of it all will be, but presumption is a wonderful thing and there will be plenty of that happening over the coming days and weeks.

Already we’ve seen some movement in the immediate aftermath.

The water tax, which the Labour Party pushed during the election campaign, has been drowned, presumably at the hand of Winston.

The Green Party has made public their major win through securing the right to a referendum on the Personal Use of Cannabis Act. There’s a lot of Winston influence riding in the undertones of many of the announcements.

At the end of the day, however, and most importantly, at least we can say that we’ve finally got to the point where we all wanted to get to. The end. It’s been a marathon effort just to get here, but it is, in all reality, just the beginning.

And as the days turn into weeks and then months we will gain a clearer understanding of just went on behind those closed doors – what deals were cut, who sold their soul down the river to get the best outcome and who is actually calling the shots.

As a country we can only sit, wait and watch now.

Democracy has ruled. Whether you like it or not.

Yes, there would appear to be some concerns over the process and exactly how we got to this point.

But the bottom line is that we have got there. And now we need to move forward, together.

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK Question of the Day: What was your first reaction when Winston made his announcement last night?

Melissa Devastated - if half of what Labour wants to do happens our rural community is going to suffer which in turn will affect our township. Not a happy camper Stevo A massive cut back on immigration, should make jobs more accessible to New Zealanders. Shut the door on your way out Bill, lol.

Matt Personally I felt nothing. The sun came up I went to work and got on with the day. This is because I voted for the party who won the election by loosing 93% of the vote. What ever the way he went his voice will be heard.

Chris If 1 party struggles internally, 2 parties will disagree in many matters so a 3 party team who knows, but a MP and possible dep PM who didn’t even win his own electorate, just saying Beverly Before he had announced his decision i heard the word comrades and i thought its Labour. Happy Happy Gary Not surprised ,tomorrow is another day.Hopefully Pick River will be re opened and expose the true facts.

Karen These 3 parties have a general consensus for a fairer NZ for all NewZealenders Yvonne So pleased this is what I wanted to happen no matter what smart comments are put on we need Winston Peters Jenny Oh my god. Whats going to happen now......

Fran Relieved decision made... but wait and see how it all pans out.

Leanne It’s going to be an interesting 3years if it makes it that far!

o I wrote this before the decision was made about who got the keys to the golden toilet on the ninth floor of the Beehive.

Of course Winston Peters, aka Northland’s Garden Gnome, gets to decide who will sit on the lofty throne and use the 6-ply loo paper (hand made by specially trained North Sudanese ShortHaired Squirrels, feed organic nuts and soy lattes.)

Whether it is a big brother/little brother scenario with National or creepy uncle/smiley niece with Labour, I’ve got to mention the elephant in the room – the guy is old. He’s a pensioner! Winston is closer to valve radios than he is to fibre optics.

I’m not being ageist – I’m stating it how it is and you can’t avoid the fact that each generation has grown up with major social and political events that shape our opinions, perceptions and beliefs on how the world is and should be.

Old people do not see the world the way young people do.

My issue is no one has asked the question – how can Winston know what our younger generations are thinking and experiencing?

I don’t know myself and I’m still in my forties.

Look, I’m not about dismissing the knowledge and wisdom gained over living your life, but I am worried who will be the advocate for the children and younger people of this country.

Our poverty statistics are simply shameful. Poverty always

Who in the next government is going to take seriously the issue of poverty in our families?

Who cares about a four-lane road between here and there when families are unable to provide the basics despite being in full time positions?

No point having a fancy road if people can’t afford transport.

There is no point saying farmers feed this country when most cuts of meat and basic dairy products are no longer affordable for those who are struggling.

Jump onto this website – www. childpoverty.co.nz and see the story in numbers and in some excellent graphics.

Yes, water use is an important issue, yes, our schools and hospitals can always improve and yes, functioning roads are needed, but all of this is secondary to a plight tens of thousands of children and families find themselves in.

We can blame, we can ignore or we can ask for the spotlight

to be turned upon the festering sore that is daily reality for too many people.

It doesn’t bother me which way Winston turns, it bothers me that he is at the wrong end of the demographic scale to connect and understand the social conditions younger people are growing up in.

Again I’m not bashing older people, Winston is your advocate – who will be the advocate for the young people?

I was gutted my two teenage boys were unable to vote.

They are more than aware of what awaits them once they leave the sanctuary of schooling and our home – student debt, unaffordable housing, and low wages when they work while at university. Both have talked about opportunities that exist overseas and the ability to earn more once they have finished study here.

Teenagers are not stupid. A lot of them have worked out the school system, and are aware of future decisions they face.

I, for one, would want to see the voting age reduced to 16, because they will leave school soon after voting and be affected by the outcomes of elections. They have a voice and are capable of thinking through policies.

So back to Winston and my age hang-up.

In theory he should have retired seven years ago and let others take up the challenge of governance. He has more than had his turn. I’m not interested in him having one last gasp of Beehive oxygen to further promote the gold card.

There is no point tending to the old trees in the orchard unless the seedlings are nourished and given the best possible conditions to grow.

Swooping magpies can be deterred by carrying a stick vertically so its end is about a metre above your head.

The stick is not for hitting at the birds; just holding it in place forms the protection.

Birds aim for the highest point.

That was the top of your head, now it is the end of the stick.

On the internet there are photos of tourists in Iceland walking along in groups, each tourist carrying a stick straight up above their head to deter aggressive arc-

tic terns. It looks naff, but not as naff as a hole in the head.

This simple safety method seems to have been forgotten about locally, although years ago it was common knowledge. It really does work.

Fish-screens In response to Rex Whiting’s letter to the editor, October 20, 2017, I’ve been advised that the requirement to install fish-screens on council’s stockwater network applies to four intakes (includ-

ing the Cracroft intake on the Rangitata River) from a total of 26 intakes consented through Environment Canterbury.

As a result of council’s ongoing progress to rationalise the race network there remains a real possibility that many intakes may eventually close within the next 5-10 years, including some (or all) of the four intakes associated with the fish screening requirement.

Fire bill hits $US1 billion The wildfires that have devastated Northern California have caused at least $US1 billion in damage to insured property, as authorities increase the count of homes and other buildings destroyed to nearly 7000.

Both numbers were expected to rise as crews continued assessing areas scorched by the blazes that killed 42 people, a total that makes it the deadliest series of fires in state history.

State Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said the preliminary dollar valuation of losses came from claims filed with the eight largest insurance companies in the affected areas and did not include uninsured property.

The loss total was expected to climb “probably dramatically so”, Jones told reporters, making it likely the fires also would become the costliest in California’s history.

The initial insurance total covered 4177 partial residential losses, 5449 total residential losses, 35 rental and

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s estimate of homes and structures destroyed was

boosted to 6900 from 5700 as fire crews returned to hard-hit neighbourhoods and assessed remote and rural areas they could not get to earlier, spokesman Daniel Berlant said.

California Governor Jerry Brown late on Wednesday issued an executive order to

speed up recovery efforts as fire authorities say they’ve stopped the progress of wildfires.

More than 15,000 people remain evacuated late this week, down from a high of 100,000 last weekend.

It has been two months since Hollywood’s most awesome couple, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt announced their separation and it seems like the House Bunny star is back on the dating scene.

According to various eye-witnesses, Faris has been spotted on multiple dates with her cinematographer Michael Barrett with whom she worked on her upcoming movie Overboard. While fans of the couple would like to hold on to the chance that Faris was simply talking shop with Barrett, a source said that it looked more like a date. “They were laughing at the table. She looked very happy and had a smile on her face when she was leaving,” the source said.

■ SYRIA

Displaced Syrians getting easier to reach As Islamic State militants lose territory in Syria, it’s becoming easier for the World Food Programme to feed millions of displaced people.

But the organisation is expected to run out of funding for its Syrian operation at the end of the year.

“When IS is being defeated and pushed out it opens up opportunities for us,” the programme’s Middle East regional director Muhannad Hadi told AAP in Canberra.

His organisation is no longer having to do expensive air-

drops over Deir Ezzor province, which has been liberated and aid groups can now truck in supplies.

However, reduced funding means there is less food to go around.

Previously food baskets had enough to meet the daily requirements for a family of five.

Now the same family has to rely on a basket that feeds three.

“We are reducing the calorie content of the basket and we are reducing the number of people we are reaching,” Hadi said.

The programme is feeding between four and five million people in Syria every month.

The situation in Yemen is also dire with the country on the brink of famine as a result of two-and-a-half-year civil war.

The WFP is feeding seven million people in Yemen, but 17 million are going hungry.

The programme is trying to scale up its operations to reach an extra two million people in the coming months.

Hadi said it was critical in the global fight against terror-

ism to provide food to civilians otherwise groups such as IS will fill the void and gain more supporters.

“A bag of rice, a box food that says on it gift of the people of Australia, that sends a very strong message to the Syrians that we are with you,” he said.

Hadi met with officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra this week and is hopeful Australia will be able to chip in more.

Pollution deadliest of all Environmental pollution – from filthy air to contaminated water – is killing more people every year than all war and violence in the world. More than smoking, hunger or natural disasters. More than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined.

One out of every six premature deaths in the world in 2015 – about 9 million – could be attributed to disease from toxic exposure, according to a major study released in The Lancet medical journal. The financial cost from pollution-related death, sickness and welfare is equally massive, the report says, costing some $4.6 trillion in annual losses – or about 6.2 per cent of the global economy.

The report marks the first attempt to pull together data on disease and death caused by all forms of pollution combined.

Experts say the 9 million premature deaths the study found was just a partial estimate, and the number of people killed by pollution is undoubtedly higher and will be quantified once more research is done and new methods of assessing harmful impacts are developed.

Areas like Sub-Saharan Africa have yet to even set up air pollution monitoring systems. Soil pollution has received scant attention. And there are still plenty of potential toxins still being ig-

Toxic froth from industrial pollution floats on Bellundur Lake in Bangalore, India.

PHOTO AP nored, with less than half of the 5000 new chemicals widely dispersed throughout the environment since 1950 having been tested for safety or toxicity.

Even the conservative estimate of 9 million pollution-related deaths is one-and-a-half times higher than the number of people killed by smoking, three times the number killed by AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined, more than six times the number killed in road accidents, and 15 times the number killed in war or other forms of violence, according to GBD tallies.

It is most often the world’s poor-

est who suffer. The vast majority of pollution-related deaths – 92 percent – occur in low or middleincome developing countries. Environmental regulations in those countries tend to be weaker, and industries lean on outdated technologies and dirtier fuels.

In wealthier countries where overall pollution is not as rampant, it is still the poorest communities that are more often exposed, the report says.

The report cites EPA research showing that the US has gained some $30 in benefits for every dollar spent on controlling air pollution since 1970, when Congress

enacted the Clean Air Act, one of the world’s most ambitious environmental laws. Removing lead from gasoline has earned the US economy another $6 trillion cumulatively since 1980, according to studies by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

Some experts cautioned, however, that the report’s economic message was murky. Reducing the pollution quantified in the report might impact production, and so would not likely translate into gains equal to the $4.6 trillion in economic losses.

The study’s conclusions on the economic cost of pollution measure lost productivity and health care costs, while also considering studies measuring people’s “willingness to pay” to reduce the probability of dying.

While these types of studies yield estimates at best, they are used by many governments and economists trying to understand how societies value individual lives.

While there has never been an international declaration on pollution, the topic is gaining traction. The World Bank has declared that reducing pollution, in all forms, would now be a global priority. And in December, the United Nations will host its first-ever conference on the topic of pollution.

■ NORTH KOREA

North Korea nuclear weapons-capable in months CIA Director Mike Pompeo believes North Korea is months away from perfecting its nuclear weapons capabilities.

“They are close enough now in their capabilities that from a US policy perspective we ought to behave as if we are on the cusp of them achieving” (their objective of being able to strike the United States), Pompeo told a national security forum in Washington.

But he said there’s a difference between having the ability to fire a single nuclear missile and the capability of producing large amounts of fissile material and developing an arsenal of such weapons.

“When you’re now talking about months, our capacity to understand that at a detailed level is in some sense irrelevant,” he said.

“We are at a time where the

president has concluded that we need a global effort to ensure Kim Jong Un doesn’t have that capacity.”

He said China has done more than expected to reduce trade with its wayward ally but can do more.

Beijing has also communicated around the world it is intent on helping the US resolve the issue.

“We all want to resolve this

without resorting to military activity,” he added.

North Korea has accelerated its weapons tests and in July, twice launched a long-range missile that could potentially reach the US mainland. In September, it conducted its most powerful atomic explosion yet.

Dire threats traded by Trump and Kim have further stoked fears of war.

Last of the Australian-assembled Holdens Holden’s last locally-built car, a red Commodore sedan, is set to officially roll off the production line, ending an era for the company and for Australia’s manufacturing industry.

Holden’s assembly plant in Adelaide’s north closed yesterday with its remaining 955 workers downing tools for the final time.

It draws the curtain on more than 50 years of car building at the Elizabeth factory and on the company’s 70 years of vehicle manufacturing in Australia.

The Elizabeth plant produced its first full car in 1965, a Holden HD and its first Commodore, a VC, in 1980.

Altogether the company has

built more than 7.5 million cars since the first Australian-manufactured FX was launched in Melbourne in 1948.

Holden workers say while the final day will be sad, they are proud of the vehicles they’ve produced.

But unions, the federal opposition and the South Australian government remain adamant

that the company and Australia’s car manufacturing industry did not need to close.

“It closed because of the lazy, negligent, disinterest of the rightwing economic rationalists of the Turnbull and Abbott governments,” Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said.

“They goaded the industry into going. As a result, Australia is poorer.”

The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union estimates 2500 jobs could be lost across Holden and its supplier network when the plant shuts, but exact numbers are hard to gauge.

Union state secretary John Camillo said some of those

would find other fulltime work, some part-time or casual positions, and others would be forced to retire.

“And that’s the tragedy about what’s happening today,” he said.

“When those doors close at Holden, the car industry will close forever.

“History will remember this as the greatest betrayal of blue-collar workers.”

Holden communications director Sean Poppitt said everyone who finished up yesterday would leave with their heads held high.

“We are focused on celebrating with Australia, not commiserating,” he said.

In brief Marburg disease kills 2 Kampala Two people have died of suspected Marburg disease in eastern Uganda, the health ministry said, adding that one of them was a hunter who was believed to have been infected by bats. Marburg disease, named for the German city where it was first identified in the 1960s, is “highly fatal,” according to the World Health Organisation, and is caused by a virus from the same family as the one that causes Ebola. Uganda’s health ministry confirmed that a 50-year-old woman died from the disease earlier this month after nursing her dying brother, who had exhibited similar symptoms. Symptoms include diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, and many patients also suffer haemorrhaging.

Weinstein was awarded a BFI Fellowship in 2002 for his contribution to British cinema. In recent weeks, dozens of women have accused him of sexual assault and harassment. He has been fired by the film company he founded with his brother Bob and expelled from Hollywood’s movie academy.

Weinstein denies having any nonconsensual sexual activity. London police are investigating allegations of sexual assault against him made by two women.

Hammers make one change

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

The Mid Canterbury Hammers will be looking to extend their campaign by one more game this weekend when they take to the paddock in their Lochore Cup semifinal against Poverty Bay. Consistency in the Hammers line-up has been noticeable over the past weeks, as they once again retain the same starting pack as the past few weeks, bar one change.

The Hammers will be happy to see Seta Koroitamana back in the starting lineup. He returns from suspension after picking up three yellow cards.

“It is really good (having kept

the same forward pack for several games) as the combinations are there and we don’t have to work on the basic things during training,” co-coach Craig Dunlea said.

“He has been playing some bloody good footy and should slide back into the pack well. He seems to like them (yellow cards) but he is smart enough to know that you can’t be doing that in a big game like this.”

The side’s most capped player Will Mackenzie retains his spot at halfback, while former All Black Regan King is absent again, and is replaced at centre

by Tom Hanham-Carter.

“He (King) is probably gone for the rest of the season but we

have gotta do what we have gotta do and we’ve got full confidence in the other guys that they can do the job,” he said.

Left winger Willie McGoon retains his spot after taking a heavy knock last week.

“It is a different injury as he took an elbow to the shoulder he got re-constructed and it got him right in all the nerve endings which left him in a fair bit of pain, but it came right and he trained fine,” Dunlea said.

Top try-scorer Maleli Sau stays at fullback, while Matt Bentley and Hamish Mackenzie return to the bench after missing out last week.

■ SHOOTING

Aiming for shot at Games

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

Mid Canterbury local Kay Perrett will be gunning for a place in the Commonwealth Games when she makes her way over to Australia next week.

Perrett is part of the New Zealand Pistol Shooting Team that will compete at the Commonwealth Cup, an event that will serve as the qualifier for the games for the Australasian region.

“I was the only South Islander to make the team and there are 22 of us going, which is quite special,” she said.

Perrett shoots in both air pistol and sport pistol, and has already

picked up some experience on the big stage, despite only having been shooting for six years.

“I went to the Olympic Games qualifying two years ago and I had not long started shooting and there were people there with titles as long as my arm, while I was just Kay Perrett, South Island, New Zealand,” she said.

“So when I finished third I think they all got a bit of a shock, like who is she?”

Despite the third place finish, it was not enough to book Perrett a place at the Olympics, with only first place progressing, and it will be the same scenario for the Commonwealth Games.

“It is going to be really tough

as there will be some really good shooters there, like world champions and ones that have been to the Olympics so it will be challenging,” she said.

Perrett said she first got in to pistol shooting after finding difficulty trap shooting due to being right handed, but left-eyed.

Still wanting to do a sport together, Perrett and her partner shifted to pistol shooting, which Kay was not too impressed with after just being given an air pistol.

“They just gave me an air pistol and it kind of felt like, oh you are a girl, here, just use this, but I quickly found I really enjoyed it and it is my favourite one to

shoot as you have to be very precise,” she said.

As well as competing at a high level, Perrett also coaches the Ashburton College Pistol Shooting Team, and works as a coach for the South Island team.

One of her top students, Ben Thomas, will also be travelling to Australia next week to compete at the Junior Olympics.

“He has just turned 16 and I have been teaching him through College and this is his third year shooting and it just shows that you can reach those top levels as long as you have the right attributes and you don’t have to be big and physical to do well, it is a real mental sport,” she said.

■ BASKETBALL

New Zealand Breakers thrash Sydney Kings The New Zealand Breakers will embark on their first overseas endeavour with confidence, and more importantly, a winning record.

A 90-73 thrashing of the Sydney Kings has moved the Breakers to 2-1 early into their Australian National Basketball League season, and Thursday night’s victory was easily their most convincing performance to date.

After escaping with a lastsecond win thanks to a DJ Newbill buzzer-beater when the two sides clashed last week, there were no such nerves for the hosts in what could easily stand as their easiest victory of the campaign.

A tougher test awaits tomorrow afternoon, with their first away trip seeing them take on the pre-season favourites, the

2-0 Melbourne United.

Yet, the Breakers will have less trepidation about that battle now, after ruthlessly exploiting a flawed Sydney team.

The Breakers starting big men – Mika Vukona and Alex Pledger – had their best games of the young season, while guards Shea Ili and Edgar Sosa found plenty of rewards for relentlessly attacking the paint.

Sydney were overwhelmed on the glass, with the Breakers snaring 47 rebounds to Sydney’s 25; granting the Breakers a slew of extra attacking opportunities to build upon.

Build, they did. Their lead progressed, first slowly, then rapidly. A double-digit advantage with four minutes left in the half was suddenly a 55-31 disparity by halftime, as part of an 18-1 run which left the Kings

in ruins. Breakers coach Paul Henare highlighted the first half as a sign of what the Breakers can accomplish this season.

“For us to play the way we’ve been aiming to play for a while was really pleasing.

“The first half really showed the potential that this group has.”

The 24-point lead was the Breakers’ biggest half-time advantage in the franchise’s 225 home games, and although the Kings had mounted an impressive second-half comeback last week, there would be no such repeat as the Breakers maintained their standards in the third period.

Pledger continued to produce, finishing with 19 points in 21 minutes, assisted by his frontcourt partner Vukona, who notched a 10 point, 12 rebound

double-double in the same time on court. The pair combined for 10 offensive rebounds, and Henare wants his side’s rebounding output to maintain against all opposition.

The Breakers import duo also continued their solid start to life in the ANBL, with Sosa compiling 19 points and seven assists in just 23 minutes, while Newbill added 10 points, three rebounds and two assists.

That balanced attack pleases Henare, who now has had all nine members of his core rotation put in at least one strong showing in their minutes on court this season.

The challenge now will be to put in similar performances on the road against the best teams in the league; a challenge that will begin against Melbourne.

The Wallabies are ready to prove just how far they’ve come since their first-up Bledisloe Cup shellacking in Sydney, captain Michael Hooper has said. tonight’s clash at Suncorp Stadium is Australia’s first at home against New Zealand since they were blown away 40-6 in the first half of an embarrassing series opener in Sydney. It was a performance that shattered the team’s credibility in the eyes of rugby fans in Australia and across the world – but two months and five test matches later, Hooper insists the Wallabies are now an entirely different proposition.

Caitlin NZ’s most improved

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

Mid Canterbury has continued to grow its reputation as a hotbed for young croquet talent, and Caitlin Smith has helped to add to that reputation.

The Mount Hutt College student recently collected the award for the most improved golf cro-

quet player in New Zealand for the 2016/17 season.

“They look at the tournaments you have entered and how you performed in them and they also look at your handicap,” she said.

“I went from a 10 to a five and that is quite a big jump.”

In her third season of playing croquet, the 16-year-old

was introduced to the sport by her nana, and saw the success other Mount Hutt students had achieved on the greens.

Looking towards the future, Smith said she is looking to enter as many local tournaments, as well as booking a place at the nationals, with the ultimate goal of attending the Under-21 World

Championships.

Smith attended this year’s World Championships, and finished in 16th place.

“It is quite a tactical sport, a lot of people just think you hit the ball around but there is more than that and you also get to meet new people which is cool,” she said.

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Dean Barker linked to New York Cup bid Kiwi Dean Barker has been linked to the New York Yacht Club’s America’s Cup team.

Sailing legend Tom Ehman, writing on his website sailingillustrated.com, says multiple sources have indicated that club CEO and skipper Terry Hutchinson has hired Barker to helm Quantum Racing’s TP52 next summer in the Mediterranean.

The monohull Super Series is seen as the main training ground for 2021 Cup teams, at least until they can start sailing their first new AC75 in 2019.

The yacht club has already indicated it will enter the 2021 America’s Cup in Auckland.

Hutchinson has a relationship with Barker as tactician in the 2007 Cup in Valencia on Emirates Team New Zealand, winning the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger selection series over Prada, but losing to defender Team Alinghi.

Barker sat out the 2010 Cup, the Deed of Gift match between Alinghi and Oracle BMW Racing, won by Oracle. He was back at the wheel for Team New Zealand

A heavy workload to reach strict fitness levels with the All Whites may have contributed to an injury which could keep Andrew Durante out of next month’s World Cup playoff. The veteran defender has a torn adductor in his groin, with early indications that he may be out of action for up to three months. That would not only see him miss the home and away intercontinental playoff against Peru, but also the first half of the A-League season with the Wellington Phoenix.

Dean Barker raced for Team Japan at this year’s America’s Cup. in the 2013 match in San Francisco, which the Kiwis lost 9-8 after leading 8-1.

The skipper was then involved in an acrimonious split with Team New Zealand. At the time he said he was gutted at the way he was treated by the team.

“I have always remained loyal to Team New Zealand. I could have gone a number of other times, to go and work for other teams. I had an approach from Alinghi, Luna Rossa, but for me

it’s never been about working for another team. It’s not about the money. It’s about bringing the America’s Cup back to New Zealand.”

This year he was back in the Cup as CEO/skipper of SoftBank Team Japan in Bermuda where they lost in the challenger semifinals to Sweden’s Artemis Racing 4-3.

Barker has been non-committal about his sailing future after Bermuda.

He admitted he had mixed emotions watching Team New Zealand regain the Cup. “Reflecting back on the racing, particularly the racing between Emirates Team New Zealand and Oracle Team USA, I cannot help but be impressed with the domination that ETNZ showed. They were truly a class above the rest, and the radically different design and innovation that the team had taken ended up far superior to the solutions the other teams had found,” Barker said.

“Having been a part of Team New Zealand for a large part of my career, it is with mixed emotions that I watch the team take the America’s Cup back to New Zealand.”

Barker said having the America’s Cup back in Auckland would be massive for sailing and the New Zealand economy.

“It will be amazing to have the America’s Cup back on New Zealand waters and it will be a great boost to the New Zealand marine industry as a whole.”

Methven eyes double

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

Mid Canterbury’s cricketers will be itching to get back out in their whites for the second weekend of the T20 competition today.

It was a mixed bag of results last week, with no team able to put two wins together.

Methven walloped a huge message of intent in the first round, smashing the Tech bowling attack for 187 runs in their 20 overs out in the middle.

They will play their first game against Lauriston, who the Tech bowling attack were able to dismiss for 47 runs in their clash last week.

Their second game of the day will come against Allenton, who got off to a rocky T20 title defence, losing by three wickets to Coldstream.

Allenton and Tech will play the other early game, which will be a good chance to see how the newly strengthened Tech can fare against the pillar of strength that is Allenton.

Tech will face Coldstream in their afternoon game, and will have to be wary of the many experienced names that they boast.

After this weekend, the sides will play one more game each, before the top two sides battle it out in the final, before the 45 over competitions begin.

Hopefully we will have some great weather to get out and about to watch some great sporting action this weekend.

On Saturday we have the Hammers taking on Poverty Bay in the Lochore Cup semifinal, while some of our top tennis talents will be on the court all weekend in the Ashburton Trust Junior Open.

Or, if you are more equine inclined, it is a busy weekend of racing in Ashburton, with the gallops today, with the $70,000 Barneswood Farm Stakes, or the big harness race of the year, the Ashburton Flying Stakes, on Monday.

Everton fan carrying child involved in brawl An angry Everton supporter was involved in a mass brawl during Thursday evening’s 2-1 Europa League loss to Lyon at Goodison Park.

The ugly scenes were sparked by an Ashley Williams foul on goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, who was then pushed in the melee towards the advertising hoardings at the Gladys Street end, where an irate fan carrying a young child slapped him on the

head twice. Instigator Williams lost his head during the scrap as was seen swinging his arms in an aggressive manner towards Lyon midfielder Lucas Tousart.

Williams was fortunate to escape with just a yellow card from referee Bas Nijhuis and will almost certainly face retrospective disciplinary action when UEFA review the footage.

But Williams played down the incident when quizzed by BT

Sport after the final whistle.

He said: “It’s what happens, it’s football. It is what it is. It’s just what happens, it’s football and stuff happens. It was one of them things I suppose.”

Lopes later retorted: “I don’t think it’s part of the English atmosphere to hit an away player but it was like that.”

Lyon forward Bertrand Traore was shown a yellow card after confronting the fan who struck

his team-mate.

Traore told L’Equipe: “In these heated moments, like the fight, we have to help each other, stay as a team. That’s what I tried to do. There’s a supporter who puts a blow to Anthony Lopes, I think it’s not normal. I defended him.”

The incident occurred midway through the second half when the score was 1-0 to the visitors.

Williams later equalised for Everton, only for Traore to re-

store the Lyon lead which had earlier been established by Nabil Fekir.

Everton have now taken just one point from their first three group games in the Europa League this season.

The defeat – Everton’s sixth in their last 10 games in all competitions – piled more pressure on manager Ronald Koeman, who criticised the standard of officiating.

Dark Horse trainer sounds warning Rising trotting star Dark Horse resumes at the Tuapeka meeting on Sunday but trainer Nathan Williamson has sounded a warning that he is using the feature trot as a glorified trial.

The 5-year-old mare has had no workouts or trials and Williamson will be advising stewards that he intends “driving her for one run at them”.

The classy and speedy Dark Horse has won eight of her 16 races and wrapped up last season with a four-length romp in the $40,000 Uncut Gems Classic at Addington from a back mark of 20m.

But staying up for that race in mid-June following a third at the Jewels has in itself caused Williamson some issues this time in.

“She spelled well but I haven’t been entirely happy with her coat and condition during this prep

M6

For Dark Horse, the Tuapeka feature trot will just be a glorified trial. and we sort of ran out of time to give her any trials,” said Williamson.

“I’m not too concerned about that as she does perform pretty

well when fresh and I figured a race this week would be of more benefit than a trial.

“We needed a race this week and I also nominated her for the

Flying Mile at Ashburton, but the possibility of them going 1.54 there wasn’t going to be what’s required at this stage of proceedings.

“So she is going to need the run on Sunday and I won’t be looking to do any extra work as that could do more harm than good.

“Obviously it’s a race and we’re going there to win, but 60m is a big ask and I’ll be driving her with a sit and looking for a drag into it, or for a bit of luck. If she got that then she can win.

“And that’s the sort of run that will bring her on nicely,” he added.

Ultimately, Williamson is just looking for Dark Horse to move up the rankings enough to guarantee a start in the Dominion on Show Day. He has also earmarked a race at Addington in a fortnight with a back mark of 40m, which is also

two weeks out from the Dominion, and all going well “that should be enough to have her at peak for Cup Week”.

“She would only start on Cup Day (in the mobile G1 Trotting FFA over 1950m) if we really had to,” said Williamson.

“While she’s got a lot of speed, she’s better suited to being driven for one run over the staying trips than racing the shorter trips.”

Williamson hasn’t made any plans beyond the Cup meeting but he is likely to be staying closer to home with Dark Horse over Christmas rather than going to Auckland.

“We’ve got a bit of work to do the Auckland way and being just a 5-year-old, there’s plenty of time for that.

“Although having said that, nothing is set in stone yet either.”

In brief Crusaders lose Enari Young Crusaders halfback Ereatara Enari will miss the entire 2018 Super Rugby season with a broken leg sustained on provincial duty for Canterbury. The 20-year-old Enari played one game for Scott Robertson’s side in 2017 and was set to make the step up to a full-time gig next year until injury intervened. Robertson said he was upset to lose Enari.

Aussie appointed Basketball New Zealand has appointed Australian Leonard King to lead its high performance programme. The appointment comes as New Zealand is branching out into basketball’s Asia zone and looking to qualify for the 2019 World Cup in China. The non-coaching role is responsible for leading all high performance programmes from the national talent programme through national age-group levels and up to the Tall Ferns and Tall Blacks. King has previously worked with BNZ in a coaching capacity with the national teams from 2004 to 2007.

Hartley goes centre stage Kiwi driver Brendon Hartley has had his first taste of the Formula One circus.

He’s shared centre stage with Lewis Hamilton in a press conference before his Formula One debut in Austin, Texas on Monday.

Hartley will race for the Toro Rosso team at this weekend’s round and will get his first taste behind the wheel of the car tomorrow morning (NZ time) in one of two practice sessions The 27-year-old was joined by Hamilton, the current leader on the F1 standings, as well as Sauber driver Marcus Ericsson and Carlos Sainz who has switched from Hartley’s new team to Renault.

“This happened very quickly. I didn’t know about it much sooner than the press did. So it’s been quite a whirlwind of a couple of weeks to arrive here. I’m pretty relaxed at the moment, all things considered. I’m really looking

forward to getting out on the track.

“I had a bit of time to chat to the engineers and go through some data ... a little bit of time on the sim. But I’m looking forward to free practice one and see how comfortable I feel and working towards the race start on Sunday.

A big moment for me so I’m really excited.”

Hartley said he’s a lot mature as a driver since he was a reserve driver for Red Bull Racing when he was just 17 but comes into his debut under-prepared having raced in the World Endurance Championship.

“I’m not very prepared for this weekend. I haven’t driven a single seater since 2012 but I like to think that the Porsche lmp1 has helped prepare me well.”

Hartley said he only just met members of the Toro Rossa team yesterday after flying to the United States from Japan where he was racing over the weekend.

“There’s been no expectations been set. To be honest some of the team members I’m just meeting for the first time today and yesterday during the seat fit.

Nothing has been said yet, obviously I want to do the best that I can, although I’m trying not to put too many expectations on it.”

Hartley may not be familiar with the car but he knows the Circuit of the Americas well having tasted success in Austin during the Rolex Sports Car Series in 2013.

“It’s definitely nice to have my Formula One debut at a track I know very well. Dates back to 2013 and I think I’ve driven here every year since. Actually as a racing driver learning a track, when you have enough experience it can happen quite quickly.

I think learning the car will be a bigger challenge. The big tires, the big downforce that these Formula One cars have at the mo-

ment. They’re setting lap records at every track they go to. So I’m going to have a bit on my hands tomorrow. I think the tracks only a small part of it.”

Hartley, who will become the ninth Formula One driver from New Zealand when he takes the track on Monday NZT, said he has had plenty of advice from Porsche teammate and former F1 driver Mark Webber in the past few days.

“All the friends I have in the sport I’ve been asking for a bit of advice. I saw Mark [Webber} this morning for breakfast and I saw Daniel [Ricciardo] who is one of my best buddies as well, two nights ago. I asked him all the advice I could manage to get out of him regarding tires. Some of it’s going to come down to driving in free practice one, seeing how I go and then asking some of those questions. A lot of them aren’t really relevant until I experience the car.”

■ BASKETBALL

Adams starts well in Thunder’s opening win Steven Adams and the Oklahoma City Thunder brushed off some first half rust to cruise to an easy 105-84 opening victory against the New York Knicks.

Fans poured into Chesapeake Arena in Oklahoma eager to see the debuts of star off-season acquisitions Paul George and Carmelo Anthony alongside last season’s MVP Russell Westbrook.

It was a special game for Anthony, playing his former team for whom he spent over six seasons with and left as the seventh highest scorer in franchise history.

The Thunder got off to a slow start and trailed the Knicks for a large amount of the first half, however, found their rhythm in the second, streaking away from

their opponents in the third quarter.

The league’s newest Big Three synced well, combining for 71 points, while Westbrook picked up where he left off last season, finishing with yet another triple double, the 80th of his career.

Adams was his usual self, finishing strongly around the rim and defending staunchly.

The Kiwi centre finished the game with 12 points and five rebounds, five steals, three blocks and shot 100 per cent from the field.

Oklahoma City travel to Utah for their first away game of the season, before playing a newlook Minnesota at home on Monday.

Coll into quarters Kiwi squash player Paul Coll has safely negotiated the opening round of the VAS Championship at St George’s Hill in Surrey, England.

The 25-year-old world No.10, ranked sixth for the tournament, downed unseeded Australian Ryan Cuskelly 11-4 11-5 11-7. He will likely face formidable opposition in second seed Al Farag of Egypt, ranked fifth in the world, in the quarter-finals.

Coll has been in impressive form recently, claiming the biggest scalp of his career in beating world No.2 Karim Abdel Gawad 11-8 11-3 6-11 11-8 in the first round of the US Open in Philadelphia earlier this month.

Windies to tour NZ The White Ferns will play an eightmatch series against the visiting West Indies world champion Twenty20 women’s cricket team next March. New Zealand will host the Windies in three oneday internationals in Christchurch as part of the ICC women’s championship, before a five-game Twenty20 international series in Mt Maunganui, New Plymouth and Hamilton. New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White says the tour is another important step in the evolution of the women’s game in New Zealand. “There’s no doubt that women’s cricket is on a roll at the moment,” White said.

Defensive support New Kiwis defence guru Ben Gardiner has vowed to make his side’s try-line defence the steeliest of this year’s Rugby League World Cup. Gardiner, the North Sydney Bears coach and South Sydney Rabbitohs assistant, was appointed as David Kidwell’s right-hand man on Thursday after incumbent Kiwis No.2 Garth Brennan took up the Gold Coast Titans job. A close friend of head coach Kidwell, Gardiner will focus on the Kiwis’ defence as they look to win their first World Cup since 2008. He arrived at the team’s current base in Ngaruawahia late on Wednesday night, barely 24 hours after getting the call from Kidwell.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The hand you were dealt is but one of many factors that are influencing the game, some of which you can control, most of which you can’t. So you’ll dive into all that’s within your control and play daringly.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There are reasons to root for the underdog, or quest for impossible outcomes. Sometimes those reasons are good enough, but today not so much. Take on the battle you know you can win.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you don’t feel like making an effort to reach out, fit in, deliver the goods, etc., well, that’s telling you something, too.

Maybe this situation is no longer for you.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You don’t have to be merciless about getting your way. But if you’re going to be relentless at anything, be relentlessly charming. Why force anyone’s hand when you can cast a spell on it instead?

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): That kindly baby sitter called time, which is supposed to keep everything from happening all at once, does not seem to be doing her job. It’s like she’s checked into her phone and suddenly it’s a free-for-all.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): As is usually the case, much can be accomplished through hard work and continuous improvement. It does take a long time, and it’s not the most exciting way, but it’s the best way.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There’s always a way to look at life that’s alarming. And there’s always another way of finding sweetness and charm.

Do the latter, and you’re so attractive because of this that you won’t know whom to choose.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You were uncertain, and now you’re an expert. You were new in the group, and now you’re a leader. You were filled with nervous anticipation, and now it’s old hat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There are those who will go out of the way to tell you what you didn’t ask to know.The truth is probably the opposite of what they say. Of course you know this. It’s not your first rodeo.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Question traditional gender roles and other aspects of life in which you could be automatically playing out the script. There’s a danger in slavishly following the way things have always been done.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Pay attention to what the others don’t understand and ignore or cast off. With your creativity you can easily make something glorious out of the items, jobs and relationships that others can’t value.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You keep putting your feelers into the situation and coming out with the same information: You’re here because it worked once. But don’t be afraid to reach out and explore other situations that could work even better.

ACROSS 1. Harmful before June half gone, I’d go back to one in state (11) 8. To lift an Academician is the start of ecstasy (5) 9. Enjoy the taste of holding one who is the one to rescue us (7) 10. Man in suit of lights, or dam at being upset by him (7) 11. Worked on bed and got the floor raised (5) 12. In a non-alcoholic setting the listener is so dull! (6) 14. Marry when about to go out, having feet like a duck (6) 18. A number took a breather and held fast (5) 19. Picks a form of steel with little science (7) 21. Roughly mended hose, like some old ways (7) 23. Sailing, and not knowing where one is (2,3) 24. One who has a brush along the way (4,7) DOWN 1. One of seven wonders is a shapely thing (7) 2. Letter - Greek letter: is the French to include it? (7) 3. You’d half take in a writer to turn one over (5) 4. Put in what is inactive around the South (6) 5. How poet writes, contrary to the established order (7) 6. Sign for a pope? (3) 7. Nakedly exposed, tar loses head in his berth (5) 13. Crown and Sceptre - and the big smoke (7) 15. Lends support, like angry cats (5,2) 16. Awkward ride around health resort makes one lose hope (7) 17. Squadron-leader among confidential assistants whispers (6) 18. Being pert, get gun ready to shoot at end of day (5) 20. Agreement to gratify, when topped off (5) 22. Some soap may be required where people drink (3)
