Our $19b district BY SUE NEWMAN
SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Anyone able to stump up $19 billion could buy the Ashburton District. That massive price tag comes at the conclusion of the three yearly revaluation of properties across the district, completed by QV New Zealand. The overall value is up from $17 billion in 2015.
While the revaluation has not seen a dramatic surge in values that occurred then, the current worth of the district was a good, positive outcome, national revaluation manager Gail Smits said. The capital value (CV) for residential properties rose an average of 6 per cent but that increase in value was not evenly shared across the district.
Rakaia was the hot spot in terms of an increase in CV, up 9 per cent, followed by Methven up 8 per cent. Values in rural Ashburton, Ashburton west and Tinwald all increased a similar amount, 6 per cent, while the CV for Ashburton east properties was up just under 5 per cent. Average capital value for properties across the district is now $350,000 with Ashburton west,
Methven and rural Ashburton edging towards $400,000. Land values in Rakaia and Methven also rose more than in other residential areas, up 10 per cent since 2015. The CV of rural properties rose on average by 12.6 per cent, but land values showed a much more dramatic change – pastoral up 19.5 per cent, arable up 18.9 per
cent and dairy up 15.2 per cent. A change in the way irrigation schemes are now valued has affected some land values. Across the district 468 dairy farms, 738 pastoral, 706 arable, 10 horticultural and 76 specialist livestock properties were valued.

Locals ‘dead against’ tahr cull By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
Proposals to cull up to 17,500 tahr have angered local members of the NZ Deerstalkers’ Association, along with Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon. Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage has this week ordered an urgent cull of the wild goat-like animals across the South Island, where populations have supposedly proliferated to destructive levels and expanded into northern and southern exclusion zones. It’s thought that current numbers of Himalayan tahr – estimated between 35,000 and 50,000 – are a threat to tussock grasslands and iconic species like the Mt Cook lily and yellow mountain buttercup. The Rakaia-Rangitata area will be one of the first areas targeted in the cull. But Falloon said it is astounding that Sage would approve the cull without proper engagement and consultation. He said her decision completely ignores the interests of local recreational hunters and is wilfully ignorant of the conservation efforts they make. “She needs to put aside her Green Party nanny-knows-best approach and actually talk to people in the region who’ll be affected,” Falloon said. The NZ Deerstalkers’ Association have also spoken out against the proposal, claiming that it could spell the demise of a unique and valuable tro-
Plans for a massive cull of Himalayan tahr has been met with anger from local hunters. phy herd. Local members have penned letters to Sage and other local MPs, asking them to rethink the decision. “We’re dead against it … every one of us,” Kelvin Williams, treasurer of the Ashburton branch said. “It’s our recreation. It’s our part-time passion. And it’s a
multi-million dollar industry.” He said Deerstalking Association members had attended just one meeting on the matter and been largely ignored. “There’s definitely a lot of people angry about it,” he said. But Forest & Bird are supporting the move, and said it was disappointing to learn that hunting
groups were opposing the plan. Tahr numbers show that hunting organisations are not able to adequately control the goat species’ population, they advised. “In the last couple of decades, recreational, safari, and commercial hunters have lobbied for the management of tahr numbers to be left mainly to their
own efforts,” Forest & Bird’s regional manager for Canterbury Nicky Snoyink said. “Leaving the main management of tahr numbers in the hands of the hunting community has led to the out-of-control population increases.” But Williams felt it would be possible to reduce the population less drastically – perhaps by 40 per cent – and still have a good population for hunting. Hunting tahr has become more and more popular over the years, Williams said, and there was no reason why reasonable numbers could still be left. “In the 60s, the populations of tahr were double what they are now, and those plant species that are threatened now were actually able to recover.” William is also involved in professional guided hunting, and spoke of economic impacts of the cull. He said fellow professional hunters have estimated that each tahr shot by an overseas visitor brings $14,000 into New Zealand. But Snoyink said the proposed plan still gives hunting organisations a key role in achieving the necessary control, while importantly giving DOC the responsibility of making sure that the reduction targets are fully met. “If the hunting organisations were genuine in their claims that they want to look after the environment they would support DOC’s proposals rather than opposing them,” Snoyink said.
Valuation puts $19 billion dollar value on our district From P1 While residential property inspections are carried out from the street, rural property owners were sent pre-valuation survey forms and many were visited by revaluation teams, Smits said. Commercial property values were up 12.4 per cent overall with
land values up 7.1 per cent. The Ashburton Business Estate had shown a much higher lift in values, up by 20 per cent since 2015. In revaluing the district, QV looked at the sale prices of all properties as its base. The new rating values will not be used for rating purposes until
July 1, 2019. Rating values were a snapshot of the market at a single point in time and were not the benchmark for setting a sale price, Smits said. “Sale prices create values, it’s not values that create sale prices.” For several years Ashburton’s residential property values have
run well ahead of the national market in terms of growth, but this had flattened off over the past 18 months, she said. “But the market is steady.” Revaluation details are now available online at the Ashburton District Council’s website: www. ashburtondc.govt.nz and details
will be mailed to property owners within the next week. Property owners not satisfied with their revaluation can lodge an objection with QV by phoning 0800 787 284 in the first instance or online www.ratingvalues. co.nz. The objection period closes on November 1.

On a mission in memory of her son By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
A New Plymouth woman is inviting locals to meet with her and have a yarn next weekend, as she embarks on a nationwide tour to challenge unacceptable level of mental illness and suicide. Gwynna Whiteowl will be in Ashburton with the Extravaganza Fair from next Saturday and believes that the best way to tackle New Zealand’s high suicide tally is to start at the level of “heart and soul”. Whiteowl lost her son to suicide in 2001 and said one place she has found healing for her own heart and soul is in musical therapy – in particular, playing the Reverie Harp. The instrument brings healing “no matter the trauma”, she said. Now she wants to help other people, whether suffering mental illness, suicide ideation or the bereavement of somebody else, by inviting them to share information, talk and listen to the harp, free of
charge. “As human beings we suffer all manner of trauma in our lives,” she said “We struggle at times to heal ourselves as the world doesn’t stop to allow us the time to get off and take care of ourselves, even if we knew what we needed to heal.” Whiteowl said it may seem strange that she is part of the Extravaganza Fair, which also offers an array of market stalls, food, entertainment and arts and crafts – but it allows her to connect with people of all walks of life. When it comes to New Zealand’s mental wellbeing, change is necessary, she said. “If we keep doing what we have always done we will keep getting the same results.” Whiteowl will be at the Extravaganza Fair from 9am to 5pm on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 September. She will also be holding Reverie Harp sessions at 10am and 1pm each day.

■ MID CANTERBURY TEACHERS
Physical restraint rules ‘too restrictive’ By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury teachers who feel helpless dealing with violent students say they would like to see the rules around physical restraint reconsidered. New guidelines were introduced last year permitting teachers to use physical force only “if there is a serious and imminent risk to safety,” such as a student putting themselves in danger, physically attacking another person or moving in with a weapon. However, teachers around the country are now arguing there are other circumstances when
physical restraint may be necessary, such as a student damaging or removing property, attempting to leave a classroom without permission or refusing to comply with an adult’s request. A Northland principal hit headlines earlier this week after describing the current rules as PC gone mad. The Te Tai Tokerau Principals’ Association president and Hora Hora Primary School principal Pat Newman said the pressure on teachers was absolutely huge. “You ring up any teacher and they’ll tell you the biggest fear that they have is that they’ll do
something and end up in front of [the Education Council].” Another local primary school teacher, who preferred not to be named, said there had been a number of occasions she had seen her students fighting with one another, and struggled to know what she was allowed to do. “I think a lot of us teachers feel the same,” she said. At Ashburton Intermediate, principal Brent Gray said it was partially a matter of safety, with some students much bigger and stronger than their teachers. However, asked if he feels that physical restraint rules were a
problem, he said absolutely. He said two staff at his school have received formal training about what you can and can’t do – and other staff can refer to them for advice. “But it is often largely dependent on the situation,” he said. While 99 per cent of students are never an issue, he said teachers sometimes have to make fast decisions how to react when a child blows up. General protocol is to safely remove the rest of the class from harm’s way, allowing the situation to de-escalate. But one complicating factor
was the differing stance of parents. “Some would ask ‘why do you want to use physical force?’, but others would ask why you wouldn’t immediately stop a child from doing something,” Gray said. If parents do report a teacher using unreasonable force, the matter is considered by the school’s board of trustees before the Ministry of Education. Schools around New Zealand reported 1010 incidents in the first six months after the new restraint rules came into force on August 15 last year.

Women changing the face of their workplaces BY SUE NEWMAN
SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
They may be just 15 in number, but the women who feature in a photographic exhibition at the Ashburton Museum fly the flag for women across the Ashburton District who have broken gender barriers. The exhibition Women Power; Freedom for Change, celebrates the ways in which women make history every day in the workplace by choosing to work in fields that, in the past, were the domain of men. Photographer Emmily Harmer captured images of those women in their places of work and on Wednesday night to mark the 125th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote, the exhibition opened. For Harmer, the project represented more than a year’s work. It came with challenges, but with immense rewards, she said. “Every shoot, every environment I was shooting in was different and I really didn’t know what I would be faced with until I got there. I had to build a rapport quite quickly with each woman, but I absolutely loved it, it was a lot of fun.”
Women leading the way. And given the situation was a new and probably pretty daunting experience for the women involved, Harmer said they handled the photoshoots remarkably well.

“I just called them and explained what I was doing and said I wanted to photograph them. I was amazed at how willing they were to participate.”
She found her 15 women through social media, friends and through networking and said once she started looking she was amazed at the incredible things
women were doing in the workplace. The greatest challenge was telling each woman’s story in just one image, Harmer said. “That was a bit frustrating at times, but I think I managed to achieve it. I’m happy with what I’ve got, but at times I was right out of my comfort zone.” At each workplace, Harmer said the employer was very supportive of the project. For museum director Tanya Robinson, the exhibition exceeded expectations. It started as a conversation between herself and Harmer and represented a year of planning on her part and hard work for Harmer. Opening night saw 13 of the 15 women featured there with family members. “Family members were clearly really proud of the women in their lives. “Emmily has really captured not just the women, but their stories. The photos throw a new light on these women and how pioneering they were.” Robinson said. The Women Power exhibition runs in the Ashburton Museum’s Murney Room until early November.

■ SUFFRAGE 125
In brief Car crashes into fence
Ancestor’s history-making efforts marked
Members of the Ashburton Fire Brigade were up early to offer their support to Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade and other emergency services yesterday, following a car accident. A vehicle left the road and crashed into a hedge on Kyle Road, between Dorie and Rakaia, shortly after 6am. A police spokesperson said there did not appear to be any injuries.

Ashburton’s Suffrage 125 celebrations had a special edge for one, three generation family who took part in Wednesday’s march and rose planting ceremony. Susan Kent, her daughter Emma Brockhurst and granddaughters Libby, 4, and Charlotte, 3, were not only celebrating the 125th anniversary of women gaining the vote in New Zealand, they were also celebrating the role Kent’s great grandmother Sophia Trevurza played in the history making moment. Like many women living in the Wakanui area at the time the suffrage petition was circulating around New Zealand, Sophia pledged her support and signed her name. And that simple signature is something her descendants are extremely proud of, Kent said. The family dressed for the occasion in clothing similar to that worn by women and children at the time the Electoral Act 1893 was passed. For Brockhurst, the rally was an opportunity to wear her wedding gown again, while Kent created her granddaughters’ outfits. After an hour or two in spring sunshine, none of the family said they were keen to swap today’s clothing for the restrictive garments of another era.
A body has been found on Weymouth Beach, near Manurewa, in south Auckland. Police were told about the body around 1.10pm yesterday. “Inquiries are under way to establish what has happened and there is no further information at this stage,” police said. A fire crew also helped police recover the body, a Fire and Emergency spokesperson said. - NZME

PM Ardern sacks Whaitiri Labour MP Meka Whaitiri has been sacked as a minister over allegations of a fracas with a staff member but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has left the door open for her to return to Cabinet. Ardern said yesterday she no longer had confidence in Whaitiri as a minister after receiving a report on Wednesday night into an incident in Gisborne on August 27 between Whaitiri and a staff member. Whaitiri was suspended as Customs Minister on August 30. The details of the incident have never been revealed but it is believed there was a physical altercation between Whaitiri and a press secretary who had been in the job for only a week.
“While the facts are in dispute, the report says an incident occurred. Meka Whaitiri continues to contest details of the incident, but there are elements which are agreed,” Ardern told reporters. She would not reveal further details of the report by Ministerial Services because it was an employment matter and to protect the privacy of the staff member involved. But she said a version of the report would be publicly released. Ardern would not be drawn on whether an assault took place, saying she was waiting for that report to be made available. She had spoken to Whaitiri who had accepted her decision but still maintained her posi-

tion. Ardern said she talked to her about providing support on staff management. Whaitiri could not be reached for comment yesterday. Ardern said she still had confidence in Whaitiri as an MP and left the door open for her return to Cabinet. “I like to, of course, leave openings for ministers to address the issues that been raised that have led them to lose their portfolios. I will do that for Meka as well.” Whaitiri holds the Maori electorate of Ikaroa-Rawhiti, which stretches down the east coast of the North Island and Ardern said she would remain an MP. “I have a view that the member works incredibly hard across
Ikaroa-Rawhiti, that she will continue to be able to fulfil those roles. However, based on what I have seen, I do not have confidence in her retaining her role as minister,” Ardern said. Whaitiri had held the portfolios of Customs, Associate Agriculture, Associate Crown Maori Relations, Associate Forestry and Associate Local Government. Consumer Affairs Minister Kris Faafoi, who took over the Customs portfolio when Whaitiri was stood down, would keep it, Ardern said. Whaitiri’s associate minister responsibilities would revert to the lead ministers, and Ardern said there were no plans for a Cabinet reshuffle. - NZME
A man has been charged with murder over the death of a baby girl nearly two years ago. Eightmonth-old Bella Richardson died in Whanganui on November 7, 2016. The 25-year-old arrested for her murder was known to her, but they were not related. The accused appeared in Masterton District Court yesterday and was remanded in custody. Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Baskett said he hoped the charge would bring some closure for Bella’s family. “This has been a protracted investigation due to the complex nature of the medical evidence. “I would like to thank all those who helped with the investigation.” - NZME

The Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal found Dr Martyn Robyn Howells had altered medical records of 12 patients between 2004 and 2010 to maintain their enrolment at Green Island Medical Centre, which he owned. These had resulted in a financial benefit of $3929. Although Howells repaid the $3929 in December 2015 the tribunal found the alterations were based on “negligence”, and the conduct was bringing “discredit to the medical profession”. - NZME

■ PIKE RIVER MINE
Three re-entry options It seems ever more likely a team will head into the Pike River Mine after experts found no showstopping obstacles preventing re-entry. Twenty-nine men were killed and trapped in the mine when it was rocked by a methane blast on November 19, 2010 but so far expert teams have been unable to reach the bodies of the men. However, the Pike River Recovery Agency appointed by the Labour-led Government to examine the risks of re-entering the mine, says it has so far turned up no showstoppers. “[The team of experts have] been poring over the ins-andouts of each task required to enable re-entry via the three agreed options,” agency chief executive Dave Gawn said. “There’s still a couple of stages to go before the agency pulls together its recommendation to the Minister, but I’m confident that at this stage, there’s nothing I’ve heard that would mean reentry is impossible.” The agency’s findings are being closely followed by families of the 29 miners, who have long called on the Government to recover the bodies and investigate the explosion further.
Pike River Recovery Agency boss Dave Gawn says experts have been poring over the ins-and-outs of each task required to enable re-entry via three agreed options. The agency has so far developed three options for entering the mine. These included: ■ A single entry into the current “portal” with safety controls in place. ■ Building a new 220 to 250-metre-long tunnel from up on the hill to connect with the Pit Bottom in Stone area ■ A single entry with a new large-diameter borehole to provide a means of emergency escape
The agency’s own technical mining experts have spent the last two weeks meeting with independent miners, representatives of the miners’ families and experts from WorkSafe, New Zealand Mines Rescue, and the Department of Conservation to discuss the risks. Two further phases of the risk assessment process will include a review of the findings by technical experts on October 1 and a final review on October 16. - NZME
Kiwi euthanasia proponent charged with murder in SA A New Zealand citizen, with a previous conviction for assisted suicide in Dunedin, has appeared in a South African court on a murder charge. Sean Davison is facing the charges in relation to the death of Anrich Burger who became a quadriplegic after a vehicle accident in 2005 – he was not terminally ill. Davison pleaded not guilty and was released on bail of $NZ2050 and is due to reappear in court again on November 16. He admitted that in 2014 he injected lethal drugs into Burger, a close friend of his, in November of the previous year, News24 reports. In 2011 Davison was sentenced to five months’ house arrest in Dunedin after pleading guilty to counselling and procuring his mother’s suicide. Davison is the president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies, which supports euthanasia and assisted suicide for adults with incurable illnesses. The New Zealand End of Life
Choice Society (formerly the Voluntary Euthanasia Society) is a member. The 57-year-old said in 2014, “not all quadriplegics want to die, but those who do want to, should have the option,” during a speech at the federation’s conference. The executive officer of Euthanasia-Free NZ, Renée Joubert said Davison’s actions suggest the federation wants any adult to be eligible. “Mr Davison’s words and actions demonstrate that ‘assisted dying’ advocates don’t really want a narrow law limited to terminal illness, but one that would eventually allow virtually any competent adult to be eligible, including people with disabilities. “Disabled people would be included under both clauses of David Seymour’s Bill. “Terminal illness involves disability. So do many other longstanding physical and mental conditions,” Joubert said. - NZME

Build a wall, says Trump Donald Trump suggested building a wall across the Sahara to tackle Europe’s migrant crisis, Spain’s foreign minister has claimed. Josep Borrell said the US President had insisted the type of barrier he has vowed to build along America’s border with Mexico would work for Europe as well. Spain has become a key entry point for migrants who follow a Western Mediterranean Route to Europe from Northern Africa. Many of the refugees are from sub-Saharan nations. Borrell revealed Trump’s Saharan wall ‘solution’ during a lunch in Madrid organised by cultural association Club Siglo XXI, which was formed in 1969 and is known for holding prestigious debates, conferences and forums. Spanish daily El Pais said he had made it clear he disagreed with Donald Trump’s diagnosis but insisted a policy had to be put in place to deal with the fact Africa would double its population in the next 20 years. Borrell also took the opportunity at the event in Madrid to attack Italy’s right-wing Interior Minister Matteo Salvini who made his mark in the job by turning away a boatload of more than 600 African refugees in June and leaving Spain to pick up the pieces. Borrell was appointed Foreign Minister in June when Pedro Sanchez became PM after winning a no-confidence motion he proposed against the country’s former right-wing leader Mariano Rajoy. Trump, meanwhile, said earlier this month he was considering using military resources to finish construction of his long-promised border wall instead of relying on Congress to fund it. He has insisted Mexico will pay for it since he started touting the idea of a border block during his presidential campaign. Mexican officials have consistently said they will not pay. Spain has overtaken Italy and Greece as a popular entry point for migrants.

EU border agency Frontex registered 12,500 arrivals in August – with 6500 of them reaching Spain’s Mediterranean coastline and making the country the main EU port of arrival for migrants for the second month running. Most of those reaching Spain were from Morocco, Guinea and Mali. Nearly 30,000 migrants used the Western Mediterranean route in the first eight months of the year according to Frontex, double the figure for last year. New research has found two million migrants have arrived in Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea since 2009. The route most travelled this year was from Morocco to Spain – in stark contrast to previous years when this western route was the least travelled migration path. Pew Research Center drew on data from Europe’s border and coast guard agency Frontex and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. From 2009 to the end of 2917, 89,000 migrants had arrived along Spain’s south coast using the western route. But between January and August alone, there have been 28,000 arrivals. This was greater than both the Africa to Italy ‘central route’ and Turkey to Greece ‘eastern route’ both of which saw 20,000 arrivals. Pew Research Center said this was partly due to Spain accepting migrant rescue ships in its docks when other countries had denied them entry. It added that 2018 had proved to be a particularly deadly year for Mediterranean crossings between Africa and Italy. For every 18 migrants who reached Italy by boat during the first seven months of this year, one drowned attempting that crossing, UN figures showed. Since 2009, a million refugees have crossed the Mediterranean from Syria and Iraq while a further 620,000 have come from sub-Saharan Africa and nearly 390,000 from Asian countries including Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the Pew Research Center reported. - PA

September IS A GOOD TIME TO ...
Make the most of the longer days at the moment and get into your garden. Preparing your garden for spring planting is best done now as the soil is warming up and things are coming to life after winter.
HANDY HINTS
It’s time to clear out weeds and give your soil a good turning over. Dig in compost and sheep pellets to fertilise your soil. Check out ZooDoo online for delivery bagged garden products.
• What to try something new this month? How about making your own compost? Compost is a great nutrient rich food for your soil that reduces the need for additional fertilisers.
Plant new season veges like lettuce, spinach and silverbeet. Plan for where you will be putting your spring varieties like cucumbers, peas and zucchini.
• As always, turn over your compost and dig it in to your garden if it’s ready. How do you know when it’s ready? It should look like potting mix.
Most of these should become available over the next month. Continue to stagger your planting (adding some every few weeks to ensure continual supply) of our seedlings that thrive all year round such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, beetroot, celery, most leafy salad greens and rhubarb. If you want to plant some onions get them in now. We have Pukekohe brown longkeeper onions and also pearl drops (a white cocktail onion). It’s also the right timing now for spring onions, and the delicious looking spring red onion.
your new plants from the cooler weather. Once the mulch starts to break down dig it into the soil. Protect any sensitive seedlings you may have in from any late frosts. Recycle plastic milk bottles by cutting the bottom off and placing over the top of the seedlings.
You can also now start planting some tomatoes. If it’s still a bit cold try planting some in pots. Stake and tie them once they develop some height.
Even the new deeper plastic meat trays from Countdown work well on small seedlings. But there is still plenty of time for spring planting so don’t feel rushed this weekend.
Apply a 10cm layer of mulch to protect
Keen for some beans and some peas?
Runner beans and sugar snap peas can also be planted right now. Both are idea for pots (just add a stake frame) and once ready can be eaten straight from the garden. Your broad beans should also be ready now. If you’ve got too many how about freezing some. Blanch your broad beans first before freezing to prevent little spots appearing on them when frozen. How do you blanch? Put them in a pot of boiling water for a couple minutes, then quickly drain and run cold water over them
to stop the cooking process. Now you’ve got the vege garden arranged let’s work some colour into your garden. Try planting Canterbury bells, cornflowers, lobelia, larkspur, sweet peas, and petunias. Finally, plant any strawberry runners that you’ve still got left. And it’s not too late to start now, we have a few strawberry plants left to accompany your Christmas day pavlova.

erman automaker Volkswagen has announced that it will no longer produce the classic Volkswagen Beetle. The company has said that it would end production of the iconic car in 2019, following a pair of final editions of the insect-inspired vehicles. The chief executive of Volkswagen Group, Hinrich Woebcken said the move to axe the model comes as the brand begins to switch its focus to electric cars and larger family-friendly vehicles. In a statement he said: ‘The loss of the Beetle after three generations, over nearly seven decades, will evoke a host of emotions from the Beetle’s many devoted fans’. He also added that while there are no immediate plans to replace the Beetle, that he could ‘never say never’. Even though the iconic car was first designed in the 1930s, mass production didn’t take place until 1945. The original idea for the Beetle was
that it would be a ‘people’s car’, and would be affordable enough for people who didn’t come from substantial wealth. The idea of the Beetle was conceived in 1931, when Ferdinand Porsche and Zundapp developed the Porsche Type 12, or ‘Auto fur Jedermann’ (translated as ‘Car for Everyone’. In 1933 Adolf Hitler commissioned Porsche to develop a ‘Peoples Car’, with the specifics that the car would be able to seat two adults and two children, with room for their luggage, and be able to cruise at around 100km/h. Fast forward to the 1960s and Volkswagen started to bring significant changes to the model, including changes to the bodyshell. From 1975 through until 1978, when the Beetle production line was finally closed, the car stayed virtually the same, save for a few colour options which had been introduced on the new Golf model. In 1996 Mexico became the last country to produce the old style Beetle.

imon Johnson climbs out of the camouflaged Ranger Raptor with the red Alice Springs dust swirling behind him. Removing his racing helmet, the Vehicle Dynamics Lead has a grin from ear to ear…. “Wow. People are going to be able to buy this?” Johnson and his team had just come off the back of a Desert Endurance Test – 1600 km at full race speed on tracks where the Ford engineers had deliberately sought out whoops, jumps and chatter bumps to push the then-secret Ranger Raptor to its limits. One of the very first to experience the Ranger Raptor’s ride, Johnson understood early on that Ford had created a whole new class of off-road vehicle. “I’ve pushed the Ranger Raptor far harder than any customer is likely to push, and I’ve been absolutely stunned by how capable this vehicle is.” It’s the combination of technology and high-performance off-road design that allows the Ranger Raptor to deliver unmatched driving dynamics, and if the Bi-Turbo diesel engine and 10-speed transmission are Ranger Raptor’s heart, the all-new chassis and suspension are its soul. With huge ventilated disk brakes and a red centre marker on the steering wheel to ensure the driver knows which way the 285/70R17 BF Goodrich tyres are pointing, the Ranger Raptor is primed to deliver the driving experience of a lifetime. Loading a performance truck with this much cutting-edge suspension and technology has massive benefits for everyday driving. Damien Ross, Simon Johnson and the other Ford insiders who drove the first prototypes soon dubbed it ‘the magic carpet ride.’

Road trip with style R
ecently local motoring enthusiast Ron Winchester presented a very fascinating booklet to the Vintage Car Club. It’s an interesting account written by Henry Schnelle of a trip made by himself, his wife, their three “half grown” daughters and his father from Taumutu (near the outlet of Lake Ellesmere) to Timaru. The trip was made in September 1913, and they journeyed in their 1910 Studebaker. Back then the Schnelle and Winchester families were neighbours. Obviously a wordsmith, Henry Schnelle writes in a delightful manner, using quite interesting turns of phrase. He prefaces his story by saying under favourable circumstances a motor trip to Timaru would prove a pleasant and interesting outing, but under adverse conditions at least some of the sunshine may be taken out of such a run. They departed Lakeside around noon on Saturday and were soon off the old beaten track and speeding up through Killinchy. Dunsandel was reached in a short space of time and a left hand turn made onto the Great South Road (now SH1). The party reached the north side of the then flooded Rakaia River to see the gates closed in front of them because a goods train was crossing the then combined road rail bridge. The delay was lengthened because of a communication problem between the gatekeepers at each of the bridge caused because their “talking machines” (telephones) were not operating properly. Finally the bridge was crossed and the party were able to speed towards Ashburton, where a picnic stop was made what Henry describes as our beautiful and well-kept domain. The road south of Ashburton was unknown to our intrepid travellers, who were directed to follow Maronan Road to get to the Rangitata Bridge (at Arundel) which was reached in good time. Henry Schnelle describes the country between the Hinds River and Rangitata

as bleak, even going as far as to suggest it may be inferior to Siberia. They were relieved to find the Rangitata Bridge was vehicle only and they crossed upon arrival but soon after sought some directions to Temuka which proved incorrect and they literally ended up on the wrong track. “The road appeared long and lonely not a soul to be seen only here and there some trees broke the monotony”. Worse still the group realised they were heading inland rather towards the coast and any guideposts were poor. Things got worse! The weather changed and they ended up stuck in a stream, which in fact turned out to be the Orari River. Henry had to wade the current and walk to get help while his family stayed in the Studebaker. However it’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good and they were towed out by Mr Tripp of Orari Station, who provided hospitality and correct directions. Thankfully the motor was not drowned but some essential supplies like carbide – for lights – and matches were either wet or on their way out to sea. Progress to the next stop – Geraldine – was slow but without mishap. By then it was dark and they were down to one light. Friendly locals in Geraldine helped and supplies were replenished. The travellers heeded a warning not to proceed to Temuka in the dark, especially because of a notorious creek along the way. Deciding they’d seen enough creeks for one day they stayed overnight in Geraldine. “On the following morning we were early astir, in fact I believe we were the first to rise in the whole of Geraldine”. The weather was better and after a
Donation ‘huge help’ for Cancer Support

heels Week, our own local unique celebration of all things wheelie, is an event which always gives a lot and that giving continued last weekend when Originals Club members made a donation to the Child Cancer Foundation. The donation was the proceeds of a Motorcycle Show and Shine staged by Originals members during Wheels Week.
Accepting the donation (right) on behalf of the Child Cancer Support Group, volunteer Anna Raukawa said gifts like this are a huge help because they enable her group to provide activities for families coping with illness. Originals member Gerald McKenzie says the club is pleased to be able to offer support. In November Originals members will be staging a major bike show in Ashburton.
quick look around they were back on the road again, recording that they were glad to have waited until morning because in the daylight they were able to enjoy the “simply beautiful countryside” which “when whirled along present an air of prosperity”. After getting to Temuka a “splendid little town” the group ventured further south to visit friends. After a pleasant time there they proceeded to and stayed in Timaru. The return journey undertaken the next day proved less eventful but tyre troubles overtook them between Hinds and Rangitata, which saw the tyre being taken off six times. Tired of roadside repairs, they stuffed the tyre with tussock which got them to Ashburton where “satisfactory repairs were affected.” From Ashburton a non-stop run got them home, “none the worse but considerably wiser” after the motor trip to Timaru. At the time the Schnelles made the trip their 1910 Studebaker had 2000 miles “to its credit”.
The family replaced the car in 1917 with an Overland. By that time they had moved from Taumutu to Lakeside. The account of this epic trip which took place 105 years ago this month is testament to the incredible pioneering spirit of our early motorists. It’s also a reminder of how things – roads, bridges, cars and of course our countryside – have changed. Wouldn’t all those changes amaze Henry Schnelle, if he could experience them in this day and age. And by giving the booklet to the Vintage car Club, Ron Winchester has helped ensure motoring history is preserved. Originally of German origin the Schnelle family name has been anglicised to Snell and made famous by a family member – Sir Peter Snell. While many of the place names mentioned in Henry Schnelle’s account of his family’s 1913 Taumutu to Timaru trip are still familiar, one is less so. Henry refers to the coast line in this part of the country as Ninety Mile Beach – the name it was known by in those times.

Exclusive as it gets
A
lready renowned for the individuality of its products, Maserati has taken exclusivity to a new level with the 2018 Maserati Quattroporte GTS GranSport Nerissimo Edition – there are just 50 worldwide and only one is coming to New Zealand. And, if you are in any doubt – the rarity of the Nerissimo Edition is certified by the plaque on the centre console that states “Nerissimo Edition One of 50” and which is sitting atop some of the carbon fibre which is liberally spread inside and out across this car that is special, even by Maserati standards. The Maserati Quattroporte GranSport
GTS Nerissimo Edition embodies the excitement of urban night and enhances the aesthetic sportiness of the Quattroporte. Luxuriant Nero Ribelle paint combines with black piano finishing on the front grille, inserts on bumpers and rear extractor to create a truly unique statement. Also getting clothed in black are the window surrounds, exhaust pipes and vertical grille bars. The vehicle also features front and rear sport bumpers, body-color side skirts, 21-inch glossy black Titano wheels, anodised red painted brake callipers and an exterior carbon package that extends from the front splitter, through the door mirrors and door handles, b-pillar trim to the rear splitter.
The interior of the car features 12-way power sport seats, full premium black leather upholstery with red stitching as well as the red embroidered trident on the headrests, gearshift paddles and door sills, a sport carbon steering wheel, carbon trim and an Alcantara headliner. Comfort is completed by four-way split ventilation with a full set of controls for the rear passengers. The Maserati Quattroporte GranSport GTS Nerissimo Edition is powered by the flagship 3.8-litre V8 engine that is the perfect representation of Maserati’s performance tradition. The engine produces 390 kW (530 hp) of power at 6800 rpm and 650 Nm of
turbo-power K
torque from 2000 rpm to 4000 rpm. This maximum normal torque figure offers an over-boost feature of 710 Nm from 2250 rpm to 3500 rpm during acceleration. These engine figures help the Quattroporte to reach 100 kmh in just 4.7 seconds, making it the fastest accelerating fourdoor car in Maserati’s history and another record held by the Quattroporte is its top speed, well above the 300 kmh barrier at 310 kmh and second only to the mighty MC12 with a V12 engine. The unique Maserati Quattroporte GranSport GTS Nerissimo Edition is priced at a recommended retail price of $315,860 plus dealer costs and delivery.
ia has turbocharged its latest addition to the Rio hatchback with the introduction of a sporty GT Line model. Featuring a 1.0-litre T-GDi (Turbocharged Gasoline Direct injection) engine and dualclutch 7-speed transmission, the new top-of-the-range Rio GT Line is all set to deliver lively performance and fun motoring. The responsive powertrain is matched with engaging handling characteristics thanks to its lightweight, enhanced by a sports styling package that sets the Rio GT Line apart from the rest of the Rio range. But it’s what is under the bonnet that will interest many buyers of the new Rio GT Line. In place of the standard 1.4 litre petrol engine is a lightweight, compact threecylinder 1.0-litre T-GDi petrol engine. This engine provides the Rio GT Line 88kW (118hp) at 6000rpm, with the 171Nm of torque available from 1500 to 4000 rpm for maximum flexibility in all driving conditions. Paired with Kia’s 7-speed dual-clutch transmission which adds to the sportier driving experience and reduced fuel consumption. The Rio GT Line is now on sale in New Zealand at a recommended $28,990 plus on-road costs.

There’s nothing compares to
BATHURST
T
he Ford Performance GT will make its track debut on Australian soil at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, showcasing Ford Performance innovation and engineering in one of the most advanced race cars it has ever built. Driven by full-time Ford Chip Ganassi Racing driver, Ryan Briscoe, the Le Manswinning Ford GT will turn its first wheel in anger at the world-famous 6.213 kilometre circuit as a prelude to this year’s Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. “We’re excited to have the opportunity to put this amazing race car on such an iconic circuit,” said Ford Australian and New Zealand President and CEO, Kay Hart. “Innovation through design and engineering drives Ford Performance, and where better than Bathurst to introduce the Ford Performance GT to Australians.” The Ford Performance GT race car is the culmination of years of Ford innovation in aerodynamics, lightweight carbonfibre construction and ultra-efficient EcoBoost engines, and serves as a test bed for new technologies and advanced lightweight materials that will benefit future Ford cars, trucks, SUVs and electric vehicles. With its carbonfibre teardrop-shaped body climbing the Mountain, it will be the most capable vehicle wearing a Ford badge to ever lap Mount Panorama. “To have such an iconic vehicle in the Ford GT here – a car with strong success in some of the world’s greatest races – is something Australian fans will love, and
it shows how highly regarded Bathurst is globally, and by Ford and Ford Performance,” said Supercars CEO, Sean Seamer. The Ford GT’s simultaneous road and race-car development centred around three primary goals. At its core, the program provides a working training ground for Ford’s engineers to develop future engine technology and to expand their understanding of aerodynamics. On top of this, the challenge pushed the

occasion, and intends to take full advantage of a once-in-a-generation opportunity. “The Ford GT is an ultra-high-performance car, so I’m really excited and honoured to turn the Ford GT’s first laps at Bathurst” said Ryan Briscoe, who last raced in Australia’s premier motor race in 2013. “For me, Bathurst is one of the best, if not the best racing circuit in the world.” The challenging mountain layout will

boundaries of advanced material usage, which has resulted in its teardrop body shape with carbonfibre buttresses, not possible if made of steel. The Ford Performance IMSA GT Number 67 will be freighted to Australia for the first time, and will see Briscoe behind the wheel as part of the Ford Performance presence at this year’s Great Race. “To have Ryan, an Aussie who has driven with us many times at Bathurst, Sandown and on the Gold Coast, is the icing on the cake.” Briscoe is well aware of this momentous
be another to add to the Ford GT’s list of iconic race tracks, which so far this season has seen Briscoe and co-driver Richard Westbrook finish as three-time winners following victories in Canada, Road America and the 2018 Rolex 24-hour at Daytona to build their championship campaign. “Nothing quite compares to Bathurst,” said the Ford Chip Ganassi Racing pilot this week. “Bathurst as a circuit demands the highest respect at all times. “It has the intensity of a circuit like Indy,
where its very high speed and you just always need to be 100-percent focused,” he said. “Of all the circuits we race on, Bathurst is probably closest to Watkins Glen (New York), though, as they both have a very smooth, high-grip surface with a lot of high-speed corners.” Mount Panorama will provide an even greater challenge than ‘The Glen’, as it’s known, with the steepest corner at the Australian track being The Cutting, with its 1-in-6 grade climb. “Watkins Glen doesn’t have near the elevation change that Mount Panorama has,” said Briscoe. “And while the downhill section of Bathurst is comparable to Laguna Seca, Laguna is a very low-grip track, so it’s different in that way. In 2016, the GT made history with its triumphant debut at the Le Mans 24 hour, by claiming victory 50 years on from the Ford’s crushing 1-2-3 formation finish for the Ford GT40 in the 1966 race. In doing so, it achieved the primary goal of the Ford GT’s program. Fittingly, Ford’s superb legacy at Mount Panorama goes back to the event’s origins in the 1960s, and since then, Fords have claimed victory at Bathurst 19 times. In 2019, Ford Performance will support the Ford Mustang’s entry into the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, which kicks off in March at the Adelaide 500. The Ford Performance GT will be in action during the Supercars Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, held over October 3-6, 2018.

A personal statement
T
oyota has enhanced the daring styling of the C-HR compact SUV with the availability of a two-tone paint scheme on a new Limited variant. “Fashion is all about choice, colours, and attracting more customers with different personalities,” said Mr Lala. “The C-HR is a funky fashion accessory to personalise to your own taste and personality.” “Personalisation is a heritage of iconic Japanese cars, and C-HR is following in that tradition.” The two-tone paint option features a black roof, rear spoiler, A-pillars and exterior mirrors and is available with five of the eight body colours the C-HR comes in. The five choices are black with Crystal Pearl, Shadow Platinum, Ruby, Sun Fusion or the newly added Nebula Blue. “The C-HR adds more spice with the addition of the new Limited variant and the two-tone paint,” said Mr Lala. Toyota’s New Global Architecture chassis has allowed Toyota’s designers more styling freedom, leading to visually distinctive designs like the C-HR said Mr Lala. “The two-tone colours, combined
with the sweeping lines of the C-HR provides customers with a real statement on the road.” The Limited variant, available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive, doubles the number of C-HR variants. Apart from the optional two-tone paint, the C-HR Limited has a leather accented interior, heated front seats, powered lumbar adjustment of the driver’s seat, smart key entry and push button start, and distinctive cabin trim and illumination. The C-HR Limited is powered by a 1.2 litre turbocharged petrol engine with a continuously variable transmission that offers the best of both worlds – economy and performance. All C-HR variants come with 18-inch alloy wheels, dual zone climate air conditioning, rain sensing wipers, blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert, satellite navigation with SUNA* traffic channel, front and rear parking sensors and seven airbags as part of the comprehensive specification. The Toyota Safety Sense package includes a Pre-Crash Safety system with Autonomous Emergency Braking, Automatic High Beam, Lane Departure Alert, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.

OUR VIEW
How do you cope in emergencies? N
ot for the first time this week, the fire alarm in Somerset House went off yesterday afternoon. And so, for the second time in just a couple of days, the entire office of the Guardian and other businesses below us filed in an orderly fashion down and out onto the street to await confirmation of our fate. Watching people’s reactions when faced with a situation like a fire alarm going off is always an interesting experience. You’ll see those with a look of pure glee on their face for the opportunity to get away from the desk for a bit and then at the complete other end of the spec-

trum are those who are seemingly annoyed at being dragged away from their work as if it is a huge inconvenience on their life. Those latter individuals are usually the ones who are lining the door, ready to go straight back to work when the all-clear is given too. Because yesterday’s alarm was the second in a week, there
seemed no logical explanation as to why it could have been another drill and the distant wailing of the fire sirens were enough to suggest that in fact we may have been set to face the real thing. Luckily, that wasn’t the case – but hearing those sirens and knowing the emergency services were on their way certainly heightened the heart rate a little. Does anyone else find themselves panicking a little in those situations though? Technically you’re not supposed to take anything with you when you evacuate during a fire drill, or a real fire for that matter. But it doesn’t really stop the
mind from wondering what you could grab in slick 10 to 15 second movements. Should I grab my lap-top? What about my cup of coffee, if this is only a drill, I’m going to be mighty annoyed to come back in to find it cold? In that moment, time almost freezes. You’re left pondering the situation and then questioning your own morals on how it might look if you make your way down three flights of stairs with a laptop tucked under one arm while balancing a cup of coffee. It’s not a good look – and from personal experience it is largely frowned upon by fire wardens, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
But it is funny how the mind works. Some just bolt for the door, others do exactly the same as you and as you look around the room you can see them pondering the same dilemmas in their own brains before it kicks back into gear and they scarper to the door. All I can recommend is that you grab your car keys, if nothing else. Speaking from experience during the Christchurch Earthquakes, there’s nothing worse than walking to your car only to remember that your keys were sitting on your desk in what was a then crumpled and destroyed building.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, September 21, the 264th day of 2018. There are 101 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On September 21, 1792, the French National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy. On this date: In 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Mass., by Frank Duryea, who had designed the vehicle with his brother, Charles. In 1937, The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, was first published by George Allen & Unwin, Ltd of London. In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives. In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21. In 1983, in a speech to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Interior Secretary James G. Watt jokingly described a special advisory panel as consisting of “a black ... a woman, two Jews and a cripple”. Although Watt later apologised, he ended up resigning. In 1985, In North Korea and South Korea, family members who had been separated for decades were allowed to visit each other as both countries opened their borders in an unprecedented family-reunion program. In 1989, Hurricane Hugo crashed into Charleston, South Carolina (the storm was blamed for 56 deaths in the Caribbean and 29 in the United States). Twentyone students in Alton, Texas, died when their school bus, hit by a soft-drink delivery truck, careened into a water-filled pit. In 1996, John F. Kennedy Jr. married Carolyn Bessette in a secret ceremony on Cumberland Island, Georgia. In 2001, Congress again opened the federal coffers to those harmed by terrorism, providing $15 billion to the airline industry, which was
suffering mounting economic losses since the Sept. 11 attacks. Ten years ago: South African President Thabo Mbeki announced his resignation. The United States took back the Ryder Cup with a 16 1/2-11 1/2 victory over Europe. Five years ago: Days after mass shootings in Washington and Chicago, President Barack Obama urged the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to help push stalled legislation out of Congress so dangerous people wouldn’t get their hands on guns.

Hijinks and hilarity in the Hillman Super Minx M
y lad Josh has a new car. It’s a racing red B4 Subaru. I can’t help thinking to myself that it’s a bit different to the Hillman Super Minx that I learned to drive in. I would have much rather he bought himself an old crapper to learn in but I guess that’s a sign of the times though eh. I can’t help but worry about him in the car but then I think back to the sheer luck I have had behind the wheel over the years and hope that he has the same sort of luck. I of course hope that he doesn’t do some of the STUPID stuff I did while sitting in the pilot’s seat. The big difference will be speed. The Super Minx’s bonnet used to fly up if you went faster than 80 miles an hour, that tended to make one slow down very quickly. Not only was it like a chute, similar to a dragster finishing a run, but it covered the whole windscreen and not seeing anything made you hit the brakes rather sharpish. The fact that it was built like a brick Scheißhaus didn’t help it as far as speed was concerned

either. I was also lucky that my best mate Charlie Jaine lived on a farm and we got to learn how to drive in paddocks.
“
person on the grass skis or on top of the upturned bonnet being towed by the car were in a far worse predicament. Thinking about it, not only were we learning to drive but you could almost say it was an extension of our school work, let’s call it homework. We learnt about mathematics. If a car going 80 kilometres an hour and then turns 90 degrees while towing somebody on a bonnet with a 20 metre rope,
The Super Minx’s bonnet used to fly up if you went faster than 80 miles an hour, that tended to make one slow down very quickly.
We learnt what to do when we got the car sideways, without putting anyone but ourselves in danger. The reason I said ourselves was, not only was it those in the car, that were in danger but the
what speed is that person doing when they hit the water race? And does the open mouthed scream slow them down any? The answer of course was, she’ll be right. Talking maths, we also learnt

about percentages and probability. Even though large stones only covered .001 per cent of the paddock in total, the probability of the knee of a falling grass skier slamming into one of the stones was better than 80 per cent. We also studied physics, the friction caused by a bonnet on grass and the odd stone at 80km/h for 10 minutes caused the bonnet to heat to what temperature? The answer is, too bloody hot to sit on, unless we give it a dunk in the afore-mentioned water race. Good times! It would be nice if there was a paddock that all new drivers could have a blat around in and learn a few driving skills that they shouldn’t get on our roads. Minus the rope, grass skis and bonnet.

Capital gains tax recommended A capital gains tax on the sale of investment property, businesses, shares and farms is a step closer if the interim report of the Tax Working Group leads to firm recommendations next February. The final recommendations of the independent group, led by a former deputy prime minister and minister of finance Sir Michael Cullen, will then require government decisions, but the interim report falls firmly in favour of broadening the existing narrow range of capital gains taxes to capture profits on the sale of a far wider range of assets than the current regime. Crucially for public acceptance of such an outcome, Finance Minister Grant Robertson simultaneously released updated instructions that the group should produce a final package of recommendations that “could” raise no more revenue that the tax system does today. The family home is already excluded from any consideration of a capital gains tax. However, an expanded CGT could include residential land other than under a family home,
“commercial, agricultural, industrial and leasehold interests not currently taxed, intangible assets, including goodwill; all other assets held by a business [for example, depreciable assets]; and shares in companies”. Cars, boats, and other durable personal assets were not to be included, with most such assets falling in value anyway, the report says. Nor would jewellery, fine art and collectables for reasons of “simplicity and compliance costs”, nor property sold in the course of a relationship settlement. Cullen challenged whether New Zealand’s long-standing “mantra” that its tax system’s strength lies in charging tax at low rates and is broadly based. That was “not true” in the case of capital taxation, especially when compared to other developed economies, said Cullen, raising the question of whether New Zealand was “so smart or too dumb” to tax capital gains in ways more similar to its international peers. For its final report, the group will consider two types of capital gains tax:

An extension of the existing tax net to cover the sale of a wider range of assets; or taxing “deemed returns from certain assets” or “risk-free rate of return” approach, although Cullen said “noone does that” because taxpayers could struggle to pay tax on unrealised increases in the value of assets covered by the regime. Cullen said the TWG could theoretically recommend against both options in its final report, but it was unlikely to
do so. There are no findings on tax rates or thresholds, which will appear in the final report, although yesterday’s report recommends against cutting the company tax rate, moving to progressive company tax rates to assist smaller businesses and supports retention of the imputation tax credits system. The interim report recommends against land, wealth or gift taxes and was not permitted to consider reinstating

death duties or inheritance taxes. It finds a case for extending the range of environmental taxes, but warns they should be aimed at changing environmental outcomes over raising more revenue. On sugar taxes, Cullen appeared to favour a broad-based excise on sugar rather than explicitly taxing the sugar content of “fizzy drinks” as that would act as a poorly targeted tax on low income households. Likewise, the report suggests there should be no further increase in tobacco excise and that smoking cessation policies should be the focus for reducing tobaccorelated harm. Alcohol excises were complex and could benefit from being simpler. The report discusses a new mechanism for taxing the business income of charities, an issue raised by large commercial entities such as Sanitarium. Rather than imposing income tax on their earnings, it proposes a system that would tax their business operations and offer rebates for distributions to charitable purposes. – NZME
The market week in review
M
arket movement was mostly positive this week, despite escalation in the tit-for-tat trade war, with a new round of tariffs placed on US and Chinese goods. However, sentiment got a boost as investors deemed that the trade war between the two largest economies will not be as bad as previously feared. On Wednesday, the NZX 50 closed 17.6 points shy of its alltime high, reached on August 29. The local sharemarket has seen a number of companies trading at all-time highs this week, namely Meridian, Mainfreight, Chorus and Oceania Healthcare. Meanwhile, the New Zealand economy expanded at its fastest pace in the past two years in the second quarter, led by farm production and household spending. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) gained 1.0 per cent over the June quarter, making a 2.7 per cent gain for the year, beating forecasts and sending the New Zealand dollar higher. Results from the latest Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction saw dairy prices drop for a tenth time out of the past 12 auctions. The headline index fell 1.3 per cent with rennet casein the only product to see a gain at the event. Key product group, whole milk powder, was down 1.8 per cent, while skim milk powder fell 1.1 per cent. Fonterra has suggested increased supply from other key regions like Argentina, Europe and the US has been a factor of the decline, and that we could see further weakness if the trend continues. In company news, Synlait reported another impressive result with NPAT up 89 per cent, driven by strong infant formula volume growth. The company also
Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS
announced it has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Talbot Forest Cheese assets. Despite the strong result, its share price closed 6.6 per cent lower on the day. Kathmandu also produced an excellent full-year result this week with EBIT up 31 per cent and revenue up 11.7 per cent. The company continues to outperform the retail market and management is executing well with a more targeted promotions strategy and better product management. Despite no recent news, Comvita’s share price has gained momentum and is now trading back at levels last seen in May, with some investors expecting a better year ahead following two seasons of poor harvests. At the end of the scale, Sky TV fell to an all-time low this week and remains down 18.5 per cent this quarter, as it struggles to compete for customers and content. Tourism Holdings has also been facing headwinds after management flagged the potential for further offshore acquisitions causing some investor nervousness. However, the company remains in good shape, demonstrating solid management and offshore earnings. Across the ditch, the ASX 200 is on course for its second worst month of the year. A Royal Commission into the aged care sector
was also announced this week after a string of allegations of abuse, neglect and failures within the sector. Meanwhile, minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia’s September policy meeting highlighted that global tensions from trade policy presented a ‘material risk’ to an otherwise upbeat outlook for global and local economies. Separately, a government report showed that house prices in Australia were down 0.7 per cent sequentially in the second quarter, in line with expectations and unchanged from the prior quarter. Trade remained in focus this week as the United States and China plunged deeper into a trade war. Beijing added a further $US60b of tariffs on US goods in retaliation for president Donald Trump’s planned levies on $US200b worth of Chinese goods. The tit-for-tat measures are the latest escalation in an increasingly protracted trade dispute between the world’s two largest economies. Both countries’ tariffs come into force on September 24, despite both sides saying they are open to talks. Looking ahead, the latest ANZ Business Outlook survey is due for release this week. Last month, a net 50 per cent of respondents said they expect general business conditions to deteriorate in the year ahead. Business confidence is at decade lows and markets will be watching to see if sentiment bounces or slips further. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners.

In brief
■ SPRING RACING
Pike focused on features Tony Pike had three starters in all of August. Over the next three days, he will have 20. The Cambridge trainer has quickly ramped up his spring team and at Taupo, Hastings, Riccarton and Pukekohe, he will present four runners in three stakes races and unleash a team preparing for an array of feature targets. “August was extremely wet and we only had three runners but we had plenty trial up at Te Teko and Cambridge getting ready,” Pike said. “We’ve got a big weekend ahead and while the majority of them will improve ahead of their main spring aims, we’re expecting to see them run well. “We’ve got seven in at Riccarton and we’ve just tried to split them up.” Heading the Riccarton team are Wekaforce and Luvlucy, who contest the Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Canterbury Belle Stakes, having chased subsequent Gr.3 Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) winner Melt at Ruakaka at their last start. “The two fillies we’ve got down there probably wouldn’t have been quite competitive enough with Avantage and Melt in the north so we’ve tried to target black-type down there and hopefully they can continue to improve to be Guineas contenders,” Pike said. TAB bookmakers have installed Wekaforce a $3 favourite for the Canterbury Belle Stakes after her second placing to Melt at Ruakaka, with Luvlucy a $6.50 third favourite behind Emily Margaret at $5. “Wekaforce did plenty of work to get across from the wide gate but she fought well and was beaten by a very good filly. “That Melt form has been franked and this should be a bit easier,” Pike said. “We rode Luvlucy quietly and she closed the race off nicely.
Sherrif trainer cautious Group Three winner Sherrif will return to the races this weekend when he steps out in the Rating 82 Bay Ford NZ Punter Of The Year 6 October (1400m) at Hawke’s Bay tomorrow, but Roger James, who trains in partnership with Robert Wellwood, believes the son of High Chaparral will derive plenty of improvement from the run. “He’s like a lot of our team at present having a first-up run, give us a month or six weeks and we will have a lot of nice horses ready to fire,” James said. - NZME
Lowland upgraded The Little Avondale Lowland Stakes (2100m) at Hastings has been upgraded from Group Three to Group Two status and the Partners Life Soliloquy Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie has been promoted from Listed to Group Three. Both races are confined to fillies. Meanwhile, the Shaw’s Wires Ropes Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m), a threeyear-old race run at Ellerslie on Boxing Day, has been upgraded to Listed status. - NZME
Guineas targeted
Wekaforce will go out favourite for the Canterbury Belle Stakes at Riccarton tomorrow. “Up in distance and racing on the big roomy Riccarton track will help her. “They are both bringing that Melt form and I’d be disappointed if they didn’t go well.” Pike said there were several three-year-old options for both fillies to progress towards the Gr.1 gavelhouse.com 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton on November 17, provided they performed to expectations on Saturday. The 1000 Guineas is also the target for Stella Noire, who tackles Saturday’s Gr.3 Hawke’s Bay Breeders Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) at Hastings after a mystifying last-start failure. Asked what went wrong with
the Showcasing filly’s unplaced resuming run at Hastings three weeks ago, Pike said: “I have no idea. Maybe the track? “She’s come through the race well and her work since has been sensational with the blinkers on. “She’ll race in blinkers on Saturday and from a good gate, I’d expect to see a big improvement from her.” TAB bookmakers have Stella Noire a $5.20 third favourite for the Gold Trail Stakes behind Group One winner Avantage at $1.85 and impressive last-start Taupo winner Xpression at $3.90. “She’ll probably stay up north if she continues to improve and we’ll look at the Soliloquy Stakes
and the Sarten Memorial and if she’s racing well enough, we’ll look at taking her down to the 1000 Guineas after that,” Pike said. Pike’s other stakes runner this weekend is Group Three-placed Caricature in Sunday’s Listed Haunui Farm Karaka Classic (1600m) at Pukekohe. “We scratched her at Ruakaka last week knowing she’d get too far back from the wide draw and this is really the only other suitable option for the next couple of weeks. “It’s really just a throw at the stumps,” Pike said. “But she looks up to that class, even as only a one-win mare.” - NZME
■ SAD DAY FOR STABLE
Tiger Thompson heading Stateside Talented Canterbury pacer Tiger Thompson is set to embark on a North American racing career. Trainer Brad Mowbray confirmed the five-year-old’s owners have accepted an offer from United States buyers. Tiger Thompson will leave New Zealand early next month the winner of five races and with stake earnings of over $113,000. New Zealand racing fans have been well familiarised with the pacer’s immense talent and wayward tendencies during his 25-start career here. Though he has put Mowbray to the test during his career, the trainer admits it will be a sad day when the talented pacer leaves his stable. “He has tested our patience
Ashburton Guardian 31
and been one of the more character-building horses we have had,” he said. “He has done a huge job for us and he has a great bunch of owners, so it will be a sad day when he goes.’’ In his most recent racing Tiger Thompson has calmed the wayward tendencies he was known for when he tested himself against the best three-year-olds of his year. Tiger Thompson’s progression to being a more professional pacer should be credited to Mowbray’s wife, Mel, working extensively with the horse, the trainer said. The Big Jim gelding raced consistently last season and rose up the racing ranks before scoring
Trainer Brad Mowbray his best win in the group 2 Central Otago Cup at Omakau in January. He then went on to register his Group 1 placing behind A G’s White Socks in the Easter Cup at Addington in March. Tiger Thompson’s departure is
partly due to progression. The horse had reached a tricky spot in the handicaps where he was forced to consistently race top-line horses that had his measure, Mowbray said. Tiger Thomson should be able to find a grade that suits him in North American and he will be suited to the racing there, Mowbray said. “I think he will love the repetitiveness of mile racing, he is definitely a routine horse.” Tiger Thompson joins another high-profile pacer that has left the Mowbray stable and headed to North American shores. Delishka has produced a 1.51.6 mile time in winning one of only four starts she has had since landing Stateside. - HRNZ
Tony Pike is making no secret of the high regard he holds for Riccarton debutante Sacred Quartz. The Cambridge trainer will produce the Raffles Racing-owned Zoustar three-year-old gelding in maiden company on Saturday, the first step on a path he hopes will lead to success in November’s Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld 2000 Guineas (1600m) at the same track. “We’ve got a pretty high opinion of him. On paper, he’s just a maiden having his first start, but we’ve got him down there early with a view to getting him to the 2000 Guineas,” Pike said. - NZME
Cup quest continues Matamata-trained stayer Sir Charles Road will step out at Caulfield on Saturday in the Gr.3 East Malvern Bendigo Bank MRC Foundation Cup (2000m), a race where the winner gains ballot exempt status for next month’s Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m). Prepared by Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott, Sir Charles Road has had two runs back from a spell and impressed when lumping 60.5kgs to victory in the Reliable Man Trophy (1600m) at Hastings at the beginning of the month. “That win probably exceeded expectations with the weight on his back,” O’Sullivan said. - NZME
Carzoff ruled out Carzoff is the latest confirmed highprofile withdrawal from the Group One Metropolitan. The Newcastle Gold Cup winner was removed from nominations for the Group One staying test yesterday. Trainer Chris Waller told Racing NSW stewards Carzoff would be spelled instead of contesting the Metropolitan for which he was second favourite. Carzoff’s scratching follows the defection of long-time favourite Avilius who will be sent to Melbourne for the Group Three Bart Cummings, a Melbourne Cup qualifying race. The Metropolitan is one of three Group One races at Randwick on Saturday week and Waller still has a strong hand with three of the top four chances in betting. They are headed by the $5 favourite Brimham Rocks. - AAP

In brief Joseph stands down
Methven’s champions on the fairways
The Sunwolves will have a fourth head coach in four seasons of Super Rugby after Jamie Joseph announced he’ll stand aside in 2019. Japan national coach Joseph will instead concentrate on preparing the Brave Blossoms for next year’s World Cup, which they will host. He will play a part in appointing next year’s Sunwolves coaching staff. Tony Brown will be favoured to be promoted from assistant coach to head coach, potentially mirroring the same transition that took place at New Zealand’s Highlanders in 2017. The 48-yearold New Zealander succeeded Filo Tiatia as head coach this year and failed to prevent the Sunwolves picking up the wooden spoon for the second time. - NZME
The Methven Golf Club’s club champions for 2018 have been found. They were (from left) Russell Currie who won the men’s junior B grade, Athol McAlpine who won the men’s intermediate grade, Nola Hydes who won the ladies bronze B, Dale Lucas who won the men’s senior, Ross Breach who won the men’s junior A, Ruth Smith who won the ladies bronze A, and Sara Gallagher who won the ladies silver.
Hart back with Blues Former All Blacks coach John Hart has been appointed to the board of the Blues. Hart, Richard Dellabarca and Sam Lotu-Iiga have been appointed to the board for the Super Rugby club, after an independent review of the club’s governance structure. The appointments were made by New Zealand Rugby, as part of the organisation’s 40 per cent partnership interest in the club. Hart coached the All Blacks from 1996-1999. - NZME

■ RUGBY
ABs re-think attitude By GreGor Paul An unexpected loss in Wellington and an equally surprising Argentinian resurgence are unlikely to have persuaded the All Blacks they need to vastly re-think their selections or strategy for the next test against the Pumas in Buenos Aries. What will be under scrutiny is the All Blacks’ attitude, as heading to South America on the back of a loss will have instilled a sense of urgency, especially with the Rugby Championship still very much alive. Not that the All Blacks were ever likely to mentally coast, but the changed circumstances have ensured there will be greater psychological intensity in the next two tests. Unlike last year when several senior players were left at home for the away test against the Pumas, the All Blacks always intended to take their strongest squad to Argentina this year and for the same group to make the connecting trip to South Africa. Last year, ever wary of the volume of rugby still to be played, the All Blacks decided to take a risk at the corresponding stage of the season in a bid to keep something in the tank for the European tour in November. They gambled that they didn’t need to take the likes of Brodie Retallick, Sam Whitelock, Sam Cane, Beauden Barrett and Ryan
Sam Whitelock is one of only three fit front-line locks for the ABs.
Crotty to Argentina and instead gave them an extra week off before they flew to South Africa to rejoin the squad. That meant the team that played the Pumas was missing a number of familiar faces and consequently lacking experience. But with the Rugby Championship already in the bag and the need to preserve some of the already over-worked senior core, the All Blacks felt it was a calculated risk and one worth taking. While the risk paid off in Argentina with a comprehensive 36-10 bonus point victory, the All Blacks felt it backfired the next
week in Cape Town when some of the senior players, who had been resting in New Zealand the previous week, struggled with the pace and intensity of the test. In reviewing what happened last year, the All Blacks decided not to repeat their split-shift philosophy in 2018 – partly because it didn’t quite work, but more because the third Bledisloe Cup test is being played a week later than normal, providing an opportunity for players to have a longer break once they return from South Africa. There is a third difference between last year and this which is that the key goal in 2018 has been
to take performance to a higher level and embed combinations. The All Blacks’ thinking preRugby Championship, therefore, was that they would take their best players on the road and would most likely select from that, a relatively established and experienced match day 23 in Buenos Aries that would only have a few spots taken by fringe players. That’s still likely to be the plan as the All Blacks want a bonus point victory to secure the Rugby Championship, improve their performance from Wellington and also keep in mind they face more long haul travel to get to Pretoria where they face a likely epic return encounter with the Boks. They also have a few key injuries which reduces their options. The only three fit locks – Whitelock, Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu – are going to share the workload across the next two tests, and so too will Shannon Frizell and Jackson Hemopo most likely be job sharing at blindside with the former more likely to win the greater game time. Sonny Bill Williams will return to action – maybe from the bench in Argentina with a view to starting him in South Africa, and possibly Nathan Harris will start at hooker in Argentina or at least be given an extended run to ensure the in-form Codie Taylor is fresh for the Springboks. - NZME
Wallaby Samu Kerevi has spurned interest from the Brumbies to remain with the Queensland Reds for next Super Rugby season. Kerevi has penned a one-year deal with the Reds, following the recent re-signings of Izack Rodda, JP Smith, Filipo Daugunu, Chris Feauai-Sautia, Aidan Toua and Alex Mafi. It means the 24-year-old will be at Ballymore in the lead-up to next year’s World Cup. But the short-term nature of his contract leaves him free to test the open market in 2020 and beyond, with a strike centre of Kerevi’s calibre sure to attract big-money offers from Europe and Japan. - AAP

Cover up those tats World Rugby has advised the 20 teams contesting the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as well as supporters attending the event, that they need to cover up any tattoo markings in public places for fear of causing offence – as such body markings are associated with the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia. An education programme, which also highlights the need for visitors to wear different footwear indoors from outdoors, is already under way. - NMZE

All on in local derby By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
A rare senior rugby league local derby will play out at Robilliard Park on Saturday when the Ashburton Barbarians take on the Chertsey Oilers in round two of Aoraki Rugby League’s Aoraki Cup competition. Both would head into the game eager to get points on the board after suffering losses in the first round of the competition, a double header in Ashburton last week where the Oilers lost to the Timaru Outlaws and the Barbarians narrowly lost to last year’s champions the Country Cowboys. The game between the Barbarians and the Temuka-based Cowboys was a repeat of last year’s final, and with only two points in it at the final whistle it showed that the gap had closed this year, Ashburton Barbarians
manager Matt Milne said. The Barbarians led at half-time against the Cowboys last weekend, but the defending champions came back strong in the second half and got out to a big lead, which the Barbarians did manage to claw back to within two before time ran out. “We just didn’t execute things as well as we should have done,” Milne said. But, it was an exciting game of footy and the Barbarians would look to build on that as they eyed up another shot at the title this season. “We’ve closed the gap because last year they (the Cowboys) beat us by 20 in the round robin and then beat us by about 10 in the final. “It was decent margins, so it shows we’ve improved as a team, and the way the new guys have come in and just gelled is great.”
The formation of the Chertsey Oilers last year took the total number of teams in the competition to four – two from Mid Canterbury and two from South Canterbury – and the newest side would dearly love to pick up its first win of the competition against the Barbarians. But to do that, the side would need to produce a much more polished performance than the one it put in against the Outlaws, Oilers player/manager Deon Biggs said. “We just need to complete our sets and just reduce our handling errors and play a positive style of footy that we know we can play, and just get on the front foot early on,” Biggs said. “If we have a good start we can definitely have an upset.” While the Barbarians had been playing all season in the Canterbury Rugby League division
one competition, the Oilers side only came together for the Aoraki Cup, so there had been limited time to build combinations and form trust. But Biggs said that would come. The week before the Aoraki Cup began, the Oilers and the Barbarians played each other in a pre-season match and although the Oilers led early on, the Barbarians got their act together and took it out. “The boys can take big confidence from the past two weeks into this game. “We know we can do it, it’s just self-belief and keeping the ball in hand and making tackles in defence,” Biggs said. The Barbarians and Oilers will kick off at 2pm on Saturday at Robilliard Park in Ashburton, at the southern end of Chalmers Avenue.
South Sydney star Sam Burgess appears set to play in tomorrow’s grand final qualifier despite being involved in a sexting scandal that the NRL integrity unit is investigating. The Rabbitohs were rocked last week by a woman’s allegations that a social media account owned by Burgess was used to communicate lewd video of two players to her in May. There were fears the matter would result in a player being suspended from the rest of this year’s finals. However, NRL boss Todd Greenberg said while the case is expected to be finalised as soon as possible, he would not be rushed into a decision on potential bans. - AAP
Chooks right at home Trent Robinson has turned Allianz Stadium into such a home for the Sydney Roosters during his tenure that at one stage he had his players sleep there. It was the 2016 preseason and the Roosters were embarking on another camp scheduled around the ground. Fond of the history and traditions Robinson had players pitch up a tent and spend nights sleeping on the soon to be redeveloped ground. “And it rained,” Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves said. “It poured down and everyone got soaked.” - AAP
One game at a time Brisbane may have rested their star centre for the NRL Women’s Premiership grand final but coach Paul Dyer says they aren’t getting ahead of themselves. Meg Ward trained with the Broncos yesterday but will be sidelined from tonight’s crunch clash with the Warriors in Melbourne due to a hand injury. Brisbane – the only undefeated side – can guarantee a grand final berth and knock the Warriors out of the equation with an AAMI Park victory. If the Broncos secure a third straight win, their opponent will be decided by Saturday’s St George IllawarraSydney Roosters final regularseason clash. - AAP
Storm ready to counter Sharks’ plans for Smith By MElissa Woods Melbourne are on high alert for Cronulla to target their skipper Cameron Smith in their NRL grand final qualifier, simulating the Sharks’ ruck tactics at training this week. The Sharks made their intentions clear early this week with coach Shane Flanagan, saying the
way to beat the Storm in tonight’s AAMI Park clash is to “attack their leader”. Cronulla, as well as a soaring penalty count, got under the skin of Smith in their round four match, culminating with the Storm captain being sin-binned for dissent – the first time-out in his NRL career. Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy
says the Sharks are welcome to try and unsettle Smith again. “The Sharks saying they’re going to go after Cameron – what else is new?” Bellamy said yesterday. “Cameron hasn’t played 400 games without getting targeted? I reckon he will handle that OK and that will give us a couple of other opportunities in other situations.” While the Storm have long
been criticised for their wrestling tactics at the ruck, they believe Sharks are flouting the rules on markers and they have been training this week in preparation. Rather than standing square immediately in front of the playthe-ball with the second player directly behind, their markers have been standing side by side, which prevents Smith’s usual
running from dummy half. Despite reports that their longtime leader had put pen to paper, Smith said this week he and the Storm were still finalising the deal that would see him play on for an 18th season. The game is the last in Melbourne and dependent on the result could be the final hurrah for superstar Billy Slater. - AAP

In brief Diamonds avenge loss Australia have overcome some shaky first and last quarter periods to avenge their Commonwealth Games netball final loss to England with a 52-47 win over the Roses. Trailing 14-9 late in the first quarter of their Quad Series game in Australia, outscored England 15-10 in each of the the two middle terms to take control of the match. But New Zealand showed they would be no pushovers for Australia in the Quad Series with a 61-37 crushing of South Africa in Tauranga on Tuesday. - AAP
Wolff replaces Peden A former Olympic and world championship medal winner will take over as Cycling New Zealand’s sprint coach. German Rene Wolff will replace Anthony Peden, who has left the organisation in the wake of an investigation into the culture of the sports body, amid allegations of bullying and inappropriate behaviour. Wolff, from the old East Germany, steered the Dutch national team at the last two Olympic Games. As a rider, he won two medals, including one gold, at the 2004 Athens Olympics and was a twotime world champion. - NZME
Ronaldo sees red Cristiano Ronaldo has had a Champions League debut to forget with Juventus as he was sent off in the first half of their 2-0 win at Valencia while holders Real Madrid started their defence by beating Roma 3-0. Ronaldo was dismissed in the 29th minute for a seemingly minor clash with Valencia defender Jeison Murillo. Miralem Pjanic’s pair of penalties gave Juve the win and they are second in Group H on goal difference behind Manchester United after their 3-0 triumph at Young Boys. - PA

A seventh Bathurst 1000 title is in Craig Lowndes’ sights but the Supercars great fears he will end up in disgruntled rival Scott McLaughlin’s mirror at Mount Panorama. Lowndes, 44, can join Jim Richards as just the second man to conquer the Great Race seven times on October 7. And Lowndes, who won his first Bathurst 22 years ago, was expected to move a step closer to Peter Brock’s record nine victories this year after his Triple Eight Holden team dominated Sandown. However, Lowndes expects a huge fightback from McLaughlin. - AAP

Sixers coach puts massive faith in Fulz, Simmons Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz are expected this season to join Philadelphia’s Big Three. No, not as franchise cornerstones – the No. 1 draft picks were already part of that trio with AllStar centre Joel Embiid. But as long-distance shooters, Simmons and Fultz went 0 for the season on 3s; Simmons, the NBA rookie of the year, missed all 11 attempts and Fultz went 0 for 1 from 3-point range. Sixers coach Brett Brown said
both players have put in the work needed on their jumpers, though neither player will ever become defined by his work beyond the arc. Brown said Fultz took about 150,000 shots this summer under the tutelage of trainer Drew Hanlen. Simmons has worked with his brother, Liam, a former college basketball assistant coach, at 3s and shooting from the elbow. Simmons attempted just one 3
in the postseason and he’ll have to establish some sort of long-range jumper to become a serious allaround threat in the NBA. “His jump shot’s not going to define him,” Brown said. “At some point, it will sure help. But I have aspirations, ambitions for him where I want him to feature on an all-defensive team. “I personally want to post him more. I look forward to using him as a screener and giving Markelle the ball and let him roll out of it,
that Blake Griffin-sort of half-roll and go to dunk.” Simmons also needed work on his free throws: He made 191 of 341 for just 56 per cent. “Imagine if he can score one more point, it translates to three to five more wins,” Brown said. “When I look at how you’re going to do that, that’s one way that interests me, let’s just get him more free throws. “Can you finish, can you be a better free-throw shooter than
you were in the regular season? “He has to be.” But if Simmons can’t shoot and Fultz can’t shoot, then how are they going to play together on a Sixers team that won 52 games last season? “At (some) point of the game, is it the start, is it ending, those two guys will play together,” Brown said. “There’s zero doubt we’ll go through some growing pains as everyone expects and should expect.” - PA

TODAY’S GOALS: Good - 17 Excellent - 24
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): People are so complex they often don’t know their own reasons for taking a certain action. Introspection only captures but the tiny fraction of a thought process. So go easy on yourself. You had your reasons. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): If you haven’t decided what goals to set, don’t rush. Your sincere desire to be useful and helpful will propel you forward better than any other ambition. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ll be reassessing what matters to you. It’s almost as if your priorities come up for review when the sun is about to change signs, and today you’ll be reassessing what matters to you to better plan your future. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Staying healthy is about prevention, eating right, sleeping long and being happy. Later you’ll be glad you put today’s energy toward creating better habits around self-care. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The zoom function of your mind is touchy, and you’ll have to check yourself to keep from getting too analytical. Every action counts for something, but no actions count for everything. That should take the pressure off. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): A surge of inner determination will be your lovely parting gift as the sun prepares to leave your part of the sky. You’ll push forward, no hesitation, and face life head-on. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The way to handle compliments is to turn them around, flattering the kindness and observation of the giver. These and other niceties are old hat to you. Cosmic attention coming your way will activate your social grace. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’ll make the first call, and you’ll also be the one to repeat call when the other person isn’t calling you back. That doesn’t make you less powerful; it makes you more in control of the relationship’s destiny. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): People from the past will figure in and you’ll find out what they’re up to. You’ll also note what’s changed – your entire self-concept, for starters. Because you see yourself in a new light, the world does, too. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Gather more information to satisfy your curiosity or to help yourself understand a situation better, but don’t worry about passing judgment. This one is not for you to decide. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Unfortunately, just because it’s called a game doesn’t automatically make it fun. But the players can make up the difference today, so invite your favourite people to join you in this “game.” PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You have a talent for relating to those whose education and culture is different from your own and this is handy today as your life is enhanced by connecting with those from other walks of life.

NEW CHAMPS IN 2018

Record entries and a good weather forecast mean the 2018 instalment of the Peak to Pub multisport race, which starts at the top of Mt Hutt Ski Area and finishes in Methven, is shaping up to be huge. With a day still to go before entries closed numbers for Saturday’s ski/bike/run race had surpassed 400, which was well up on last year’s total entries of around 365. By yesterday afternoon they’d had to start turning people away, as with 435 entries the field was at capacity. But two names that were not
likely to feature on the starting list were the defending champions in both the men’s and women’s events, with the men’s defending champion Flavio Vianna and the women’s defending champion Julia Grant both having been away overseas competing, Mt Hutt sales and marketing co-ordinator Richie Owen said. Methven’s Grant was a definite non-starter while Vianna was due to arrive back in the country on Saturday, and if the weather forced the postponement of the event until Sunday, he had indicated he could compete, Owen said. But with Saturday’s weather looking good and a postponement
not likely at this stage, it was highly likely there would be new champions this year. Grant had won the women’s race for the past three years, while Vianna had won the event the past two years, with Methven’s Glenn Currie – now the race director for the Coast to Coast – winning in 2015, and Vianna also picking up the 2014 title. “It’s anyone’s race, which is pretty cool,” Owen said. The race started at the top of Mt Hutt with competitors making a 500-metre dash to their skis before skiing from the mountain’s summit to the base (a roughly 500 metre vertical ski). At the base they swapped skis
for bikes and pedalled their way 12km down the ski area’s access road, before switching to running shoes for the 12km run into the Methven township, with a small, refreshing 10 metre swim across the RDR in the middle. The race would finish outside the Blue Pub. The race was set to begin at the top of the mountain at 2pm and the fastest competitors were likely to complete the course in roughly 1 hour 15 minutes. Owen said the Peak to Pub – which was into its 19th year – was growing in popularity. Most of the event’s entries generally came from the wider Canterbury area, and around 150 peo-
ple took part in the 2014 event, while in 2015 just under 300 took part. The past two years the event had topped 350 entrants, and this year numbers were well over the 400 mark. “I think perhaps we have got a few more teams this year, but in saying that there’s about 195 individuals, too,” Owen said. While it hadn’t been a massive year at Mt Hutt in terms of snow accumulation, it had been a steady season and the snow base was still good. The ski area had only had to close for nine days so far this season, compared to 21 closed days in total for the 2017 ski season.
