Emotional farewells

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

With six Ashburton District councillors calling time on their local body careers next month, almost 60 years of knowledge and experience will be missing from the meeting table when the new council convenes after October’s local body election.

And with six speeches and responses to be made, the traditional farewell ceremony became a marathon of words – and emotion.

When he paid tribute to his deputy mayor Darryl Nelson, Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay choked up as he farewelled a man he described as having been his dependable rock.

“You’ve been a councillor extraordinaire and you’ve been my dependable rock with your advice and clear view,” McKay said.

“You’re a team player and a pragmatist with a huge degree of common-sense.

You’re no nonsense.”

In response, Nelson ticked off a very

long list of projects he said had been achieved during his 21-year stint, but each of those had been achieved by councillors and by staff “who got off their tails and got things done”.

He added that the council today was “a better council now than it has ever been over 20 years in terms of staff”.

■ CAR CHARGING STATIONS

Charge up and drive away

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The world’s motoring future is about to arrive in Ashburton with plans to construct three electric car charging stations around the district.

A deal has been signed between the Ashburton District Council and EA Networks that will see the charging points built

in Ashburton, Methven and Rakaia.

And those stations will come at no cost to ratepayers, with the lines company footing the bill for the work. The council’s part in the deal has been to provide three small pieces of land.

The council fully supported the initiative, chief executive Andrew Dalziel said.

“EA wanted to do this and this is the way New Zealand is going so we’ve jumped at the opportunity to try and make it happen by giving land.”

When the stations were discussed at yesterday’s council meeting however, councillor Darryl Nelson suggested the location in the West Street carpark might not be the best one. A site

units were also similar in size to a petrol bowser so they needed to be sited where they were less likely to be hit by vehicles, she said.

Rakaia’s charging station will be outside Salmon Tales, while the one in Methven will be outside the medical centre.

All three are planned to be in use by March.

has been identified at the southern end adjacent to Moore Street.

“I’m a bit concerned that this is in the all-day parking area, wouldn’t it be better near the information centre?” he said.

Council environmental services group manager Jane Donaldson said the location chosen may have been because there was a power supply in that area. The

Emotional farewells

Dad Philip Orr had plenty of willing helpers erecting a fence at Lauriston School yesterday around the students’ garden plots.

Students undergoing a growth spurt Lauriston School students have taken inspiration from television show The Block for an enterprising project to grow vegetables and edible flowers.

The students are growing vegetables in plots in the school yard.

The four groups, representing the school’s four houses, all had a budget of $30 so are upcycling where possible.

The students on Thursday put seeds into potting mix and they are waiting for them to sprout in the

school’s glasshouse.

A group of dads spent two days at the school this week building fences around the garden plots and the soil will be turned and the seedlings planted when school resumes after the holidays on October 10.

The project has involved plenty of brainpower – plots must be measured and drawn to scale, plants researched, irrigation systems considered. And with such a small budget, they have been

crafty and resourceful converting and upcycling materials to make shelving units for the glasshouse and seed raising pots.

Teacher Jo Smith said the kids were bursting off the school bus to check on the progress of their plots and were excited and engaged about the project.

The students said growing their own veges was amongst their cooler school projects, which also included building go-karts and a dinner theatre show.

From P1 Like Nelson, Rod Beavan leaves after a 21-year council career, and over those years he’s been unofficially known as the council’s social conscience.

Yesterday he said he had more aptly been described as “the minister of unwinnable causes”.

His contribution had been significant and had come in the form of membership of dozens of committees, subcommittees and working parties, Nelson said.

“His passion and his heart have always been in looking after people who were not so well looked after and who were the most vulnerable in town.”

Martin Nordqvist who served several terms as a Methven Community Board member before his two council terms, paid tribute to council staff.

“There are some very, very talented people inside our civic building,” he said.

Some of the retirees also had sage words of advice for the people who would make up the next council team and Don McLeod did not mince words.

“I could say I’ve enjoyed every moment of the past six years, but that would be bollocks,” he said.

Councillors had to put up with abuse and criticism from the public for decisions that were made and while negative comments were often made

in ignorance, it was hard not to be upset by them, McLeod said.

He suggested the council could do more to support its members when they were in the public firing line.

In turn, McLeod paid tribute to fellow two-termer Alan Totty describing him as a passionate, informed and hardworking councillor.

“Alan doesn’t just talk about it, he puts his words into action,” he said.

Totty said becoming a councillor had been a long time ambition, but it had to wait until the time was right on his farm.

And like McLeod, he said he had had to put up with often being in the public firing line.

“I was elected to make the best decisions on the information available at the time, but it was not my job to be popular.”

Ken Cutforth was described

by Stuart Wilson as a councillor who shot from the hip.

“You’ve always said what you think. A lot of us think things and we don’t say them. You say them anyway and that’s meant you’ve spent a lot of time in the headmaster’s office, but you’re not afraid to put your stake in the ground,” he said.

In response, Cutforth said he would take away from council a high level of satisfaction from the number of large projects and works that had been achieved during his time.

■ RANGITATA MP

China visit cements stronger food safety bonds

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Forming a strong relationship between two food safety departments was on the cards when Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew visited China last week.

“My travel to China as Minister for Food Safety, and Associate Primary Industries Minister, focused on strengthening the Food Safety and Forestry relationship between our two countries.

“I met with the Ministers of the China Food and Drug Administration, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and with the Minister for the State Forestry Administration,” she said.

The Minister for Food Safety and Associate Primary Industries made two announcements during her time in China.

She announced the opening of a new Fonterra Breeding Hub in the Shanxi Province, which will house up to 30,000 cows and employ 400 locals and the extension of scholarships between New Zealand and China.

“I was able to announce the extension of scholarships between the Ministry of Primary Industries and the China Food and Drug

Jo Goodhew Administration, which will benefit both countries by deepening our understanding of each other’s food safety systems,” Goodhew said.

The scholarship programme has been extended two more years and since it began, 13 officials from China have participated.

The programme has an academic programme which is led by Massey University, it also covers best practice regulation, risk management, food processing and design, and the development and implementation of food standards.

“China is a very important trading partner for New Zealand and we’ve established a relationship based on trust, respect and New Zealand’s well-earned reputation as a producer of high quality and safe food, Goodhew said.

Students enthralled with their new state-of-the-art playground By linda ClarkE

linda.C@thEguardian.Co.nz

The 150-or-so kids at Hinds School had to be prised off their new playground yesterday to eat.

The state-of-the-art playground was officially opened by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay, who said it was far removed from the steel bars in the playground of his youth.

The $100,000 playground, which includes a revamp of the school’s existing playground, has been fundraised by the Hinds School Charitable Trust.

Board of trustees chairman Andrew Watt said the trust had been

active in a way only possible in rural communities, by rearing calves and selling cattle and peastraw.

The trust put $250,000 into the school’s new library and classroom revamp six years ago and will now turn its attention to modernising the original 135-year-old junior rooms.

Watt said 25 children were enrolled when those rooms were first used, now the school roll was just above 150 and the school was part of a thriving and increasingly diverse community.

Filipino children make up about a quarter of the roll and they are

represented on the board by Thelma Bell.

McKay said the opening of the playground was an auspicious event in the life of the school.

“It shows the feeling in our rural communities that drive this district.”

McKay cut the ribbon opening the playground, then the oldest and youngest children at the school – Emily McLaren-King, 13, and Paige Blair, 5 – were invited to play.

Both children’s families have connections to the school over several generations.

■ MAYFIELD HINDS IRRIGATION SCHEME

In brief

Expansion money welcomed Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy has welcomed $345,000 in new funding to investigate expansion of the Mayfield Hinds Irrigation Scheme.

The funding comes from the Ministry for Primary Industries’ Irrigation Acceleration Fund (IAF) and will look at the feasibility of increasing the irrigated area of the current scheme by 4500 hectares through piped extensions.

“Storing alpine water to use in dry times is crucial for rural communities to thrive, especially as the climate becomes more variable,” Guy said.

“Well planned and managed irrigation schemes are good for rural economies and the environment.

“If this expansion is shown to be feasible then the project will appoint a design and construction contractor, complete finan-

cial models and secure finance.

“It offers opportunities for a variety of industries such as horticulture, crop farming and small seed production.

He said there would be strict environmental limits on nutrient discharge and all scheme farmers will require a Farm Environmental Plan.

“The piped extensions will increase water use efficiency through an increased use of pivot

irrigation and reducing groundwater use.”

The Mayfield Hinds irrigation scheme has delivered water from the Rangitata River since 1949 and is an important contributor to the local economy.

A recent report by New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) found that irrigation contributes $2.2 billion to the national economy and this has the potential to increase further.

■ IRRIGATION SEASON

Irrigators preparing for another dry season

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury farmers are keeping a wary eye on the weather as the irrigation season gets under way and preparing for a dry year.

The Rakaia, Rangitata and Ashburton Rivers have partial restrictions and many other rivers in Canterbury have low flows.

Environment Canterbury says it was a wet July, but August had seen the alpine area receive lower than average rainfall pushing the monthly flows in alpine rivers to well below their long-term averages.

ECan surface water science manager Tim Davie said the restrictions were designed to protect ecosystems and stream life.

ECan assesses them daily.

He said there had been three consecutive winters with very low recharge of groundwater.

Likely consequences of this were more springs and spring-fed steams drying up, limited surface water irrigation and wells drying up.

“There is still time for groundwater levels to recover at least to some degree if we receive some significant rain, but it is unlikely that they will recover to average levels.

“We will continue to work with farmers and the rural industry,

Body in bush Police have recovered a body from a rural bush area 20 minutes east of Kaitaia which they believe has been there for some time.

The body was taken from the scene yesterday and a postmortem examination will be held in Auckland today. Police have been searching the area since Wednesday using cadaver dogs and a specialist search unit from Auckland. They were searching as part of their investigation into the disappearance of gang member Kimble Moore. Detective Senior Sergeant Rhys Johnston said Moore had been missing since March and last month police upgraded the investigation to a homicide. A scene examination will continue at the site today, Johnston said.

Police raids Two people have been arrested after meth, cannabis and a range of stolen property was recovered by police from addresses in Wellington and Hutt Valley. Police executed a number of search warrants at the addresses, finding power tools, vehicles, car parts and other property. Methamphetamine and cannabis found during the searches was also seized. The warrants were targeting offenders responsible for offending related to burglary, car theft and theft.

Two people were arrested on charges relating to receiving stolen property and possession of methamphetamine for supply.

The pair will appear in Wellington District Court today.

The Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR) has a consent to take water from the Rangitata River but RDR management company boss Ben Curry said their irrigators were not yet affected by the restrictions.

The company was, as always,

keeping a close eye on river flows. “I would expect the spring melts will be tame compared to previous years and that is a bit of a concern at the moment. But our demand is not exceeding supply and there is plenty of water. We are used to this, we are a run of river scheme.”

He said farmers on schemes that had invested in storage or converted open races to pipe

would benefit from their investment. “They will be looking at the season and thinking we are in a reasonable position because of storage.

That, and on-farm investment, was seeing a significant reduction in the amount of water being used on farm, he said.

Farmers were preparing for a dry year though, with a sting around January and February.

A man who died when he was struck by a train had been using his cellphone at the time. Tejas Patel, 24, was killed after getting off a passenger train at the Morningside Station, Auckland, last January. A report released by the Transport Accident Investigation Commission yesterday said after getting off his train, Patel walked onto a station platform to an electronic fare-payment P H I L O S device.

■ ROTARY CONTEST

Young speechmakers put to the test

By Linda CLarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

A speech about values earned Year 8 Ashburton Intermediate student Marlese Schoonderbeek the title of best young speechmaker in the district on Wednesday night.

Schoolmate Jack Jessep was second, with a speech about his grandfather and Dorie School’s Stella Vaivai was third, talking about making the most out of being a kid.

Organiser of the Rotary speech contest Ray King said each of the seven speechmakers was representing their school, or school cluster, and gave a 2.5 to 3 minute speech. The topics were varied and ranged from iron deficiency to Te Reo Maori and understanding teenagers.

The students were marked by International Toastmaster criteria which covers delivery, enunciation, eye contact and gestures,

originality and humour.

King said the contest was an extension of schools’ own language programmes and a chance for those who did well to take it a step further.

He said public speaking was a valuable skill as most people, no matter their age, feared it.

The Rotary Club also recognised five other students nominated by their schools as honour roll students.

King said the honour roll programme had been running since 1959 and recognised citizenship and community service.

“It is all about encouraging kids in citizenship, leadership, service and role modelling.”

The five recognised were Samantha Hood, Ashburton Intermediate; Megan Rutter, Mt Hutt College; Georgia Winchester, Longbeach School; Sara Harris, Hinds School; Georgia WilliamsFreeman, St Joseph’s School.

Emily McLaren-King, from Hinds School, asks the question: Is there enough iron in your diet?

■ SUPREME COURT

Corrections got the law wrong Parole and release dates have been wrongly calculated by the Department of Corrections, the Supreme Court has ruled – and prisoners could be freed as early as tomorrow.

In a judgment that could have wide-ranging consequences the court has unanimously held that Corrections has misinterpreted the Parole Act in some instances.

Corrections says it has already identified prisoners who are affected by the ruling – with some likely to be released as early as today.

Douglas Ewen, lawyer for Michael Marino who appealed to the Supreme Court and has found to have served too long in jail, told the Herald they will seek compen-

sation. Ewen said Corrections’ mistaken interpretation of the law dated back to a ruling in 2003 – meaning thousands of people could have had their sentences incorrectly calculated.

“In terms of numbers of people affected it may not be a stretch to say that there are thousands of people who have been wrongfully detained in New Zealand prisons.”

Yesterday’s decision was “vindication” for Marino, Ewen said, but it was in another way “cold comfort”.

“Because whilst the Supreme Court has said that he was wrongfully detained for four and a half months, he was still wrongfully detained - that’s four and a half

months of his life that he doesn’t get back. “Compensation will certainly be sought on his behalf.

Don’t ask me to put a figure on it.”

Time held in detention before a person is sentenced to imprisonment is treated by the law as time already served when release dates and parole are determined.

The Supreme Court has ruled that time in detention from arrest counts as pre-sentence detention for all charges – even those that are filed in the time after arrest.

Corrections has instead been working out time in detention on a charge-by-charge basis - meaning some people have been given jail sentences that are too long.

This was done in the case of Marino, who was taken into cus-

tody in February last year on family violence charges.

In March and June further charges were laid of attempting to pervert the course of justice as a result of telephone calls he made from prison.

Marino pleaded guilty to all charges and got 22 months imprisonment on both charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice, and 12 months on the family violence charges.

His sentence was to be served concurrently – meaning he would serve 22 months in jail, less any time already held in detention.

Corrections worked out that he would get out of jail in May this year – calculating time in detention from when the second

perverting the course of justice charge was laid.

That was June 19 last year – meaning he didn’t get credit for the period from February to June when he was held on family violence charges.

Rachel Leota, Corrections’ deputy national commissioner, said the department was working through the decision’s implications.

“There are 21 prisoners that are readily identifiable to Corrections as being immediately affected by the decision. Once their records are validated, they will be released as early as tomorrow. The Department has been prepared for this eventuality and their potential release.”

■ FOSTERING LAWS

In brief

Iwi priority axed for abused A new law outlined yesterday will axe a longstanding provision that gives priority to placing abused children with foster parents from the same extended family or tribe.

Social Development Minister Anne Tolley said the law would require that any child who is removed from its family and cannot be returned to immediate family “must be placed with a safe, stable and loving family at the earliest opportunity”.

The change removes a 27-yearold provision that gave priority to placing a child with “a person who is a member of the child’s or

young person’s hapu or iwi (with preference being given to hapu members), or, if that is not possible, who has the same tribal, racial, ethnic, or cultural background as the child”.

Instead, the first principle in the new arrangements for children removed from their parents is that “decisions should be centred around the child or young person’s best interests and understanding the views and needs of the child”.

A Cabinet paper outlining the changes notes that an effect will be “increasing the ability for nonkin placements where it is in the

child’s best interests”.

The Government has also signalled it will run a recruitment campaign for foster parents to cope with the changes.

Labour children’s spokesperson Jacinda Ardern said the change was understandable because there had been many cases of abuse of children in extended family care.

“There is not the same level of scrutiny around kin care, so there is not the same level of assessment of whether or not it’s the right or safest placement for the child.

“That unfortunately has under-

mined kin care and I can see why we have ended up in this place.”

However Ardern hit out at another provision in the new law that adopts all the principles of a “Covenant for the Nation’s Children” drawn up by Judge Carolyn Henwood except for a promise “to strive to provide them [children] with a proper standard of living”.

The Cabinet paper says: “These commitments (with the exception of the pledge to provide children with a proper standard of living) will be incorporated into the Child, Young Persons and their Families Act.” - NZME

Pre-schoolers and retirees play together

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Rosebank Resthome residents were treated to concert performance by students of Phoenix Preschool on Wednesday.

Six residents made the trip to the preschool to sit and listen to the students sing the national anthem and act out their favourite book, before breaking to sit and paint or play with playdough together.

The visit was not the first meeting between the preschoolers however it was the first time in a few years that the residents of Rosebank had come to the school.

Centre Manager Anna Hattin said they try to make sure the monthly visits have music and art to keep everyone entertained.

The visits usually last for around an hour but Hattin said they don’t put a time limit on and they just let the kids and residents spend time together.

Phoenix Preschool teacher Carole Gielingh said the visits were good because the kids learned good social skills from being around the residents.

Debbie Shore, diversional therapist at Rosebank, said they were making the visits a regular thing and getting the residents

Trustpower fined Trustpower has been hauled through the courts and fined $390,000 for misleading consumers over a campaign for an unlimited broadband deal.

Between March and July last year, Trustpower promoted a $49 a month for 12 months unlimited data broadband plan. The campaign ran on television and online advertisements as well as billboards. However, the $49 price was available only to customers who signed up for power and broadband at the same address on a 24-month contract term. For the last 12 months on the contract the cost jumped to $79 a month and if a customer wished to cancel the contract at any time during the 24-month period they would incur exit fees.

Bus stop stolen Thieves have nicked an aluminium and glass bus shelter from a Granity street, but no one saw it go or missed it for over two months.

Solid Energy’s Stockton Mine owned the shelter which was built for its workers. It was adjacent to a carpark on private land in Torea Street where Solid Energy vehicles parked, near Granity’s Lyric Theatre. Stockton Mine manager Michael Harrison said Solid Energy noticed the shelter missing when it handed the carpark back to the owner. “During that process we’ve wondered where it went to so we’ve asked around, and we’ve left it [the case] with the police.”

out to the preschool was no hassle thanks to the group of volunteers they had.

She said it was positive because a lot of the residents didn’t

have grandchildren living close by, or get to see them often so it was nice to spend time with the kids.

Whenever the kids went over

to Rosebank they always filled a room with people, Shore said.

She said they make sure to have different people in the groups so everyone gets a chance.

A teacher lied about not having a job to claim more than $13,000 in benefits. Evelyn Grace Temamaero Toki claimed she was not receiving any income and hid her employment from officials, in order to claim the sum. She was convicted of two counts of providing misleading information about her income to obtain a benefit, and lying to a social welfare officer. The details of her offending were revealed in a disciplinary decision published by the Education Council. Between March 2013 and May 2015 she failed to inform social services that she was employed by the Ministry of Education, and on two separate occasions submitted forms claiming she was not receiving any income.

OUR VIEW

Pleasure and pain of council service Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

D

istrict councillors, we love to hate them.

When the going is good and they’re doing what we want and believe in, then we’re fulsome in our praise; if we don’t agree then we’re quick to condemn. And as the six councillors who are retiring from the Ashburton District Council next month were quick to point out, the public ire is not always easy to take.

They’re the first to admit that holding a public office is not a popularity contest. Making tough decisions will guarantee that the best you can hope for is to please half of the people half of the time.

And if you’re standing for council for the right reasons, as those six retirees did, then you accept the blows and move on – dented, a bit sore, but resolute in your belief that the decisions you’ve made are the right ones.

Don McLeod summed it up well – if he said he’d enjoyed every moment of his six years on council it would be bollocks.

Those who are leaving were also quick to point out to those who will take their places that they shouldn’t be expecting an easy ride.

If you sit back, say nothing, agree with everything and nod, the ride through a council term might be comfortable – but boring.

Ashburton doesn’t need councillors like that. We’re losing some pretty decent local body capital and we need to replace like with like, people who’re not afraid to stick a stake in the ground and to hell with the consequences.

Rod Beavan says the best advice he was given was “if the hairs don’t stand up on the back of your neck when you walk in the council chamber, then you’re in the wrong job”. And he’s right.

If you’ve read the stuff you need to read, know your agenda like the back of your hand and have the conviction to stand up for what you know is best for our district, then every time you walk into the council chamber you should be feeling the buzz.

The next time our council meets there will be at least six new faces among the 12 councillors and mayor; let’s hope those new chums have fire in their bellies and brains engaged.

ust before I throw a few ideas around about our CBD and how we can revamp and revitalise it, I thought I should finish the crap service saga from last week.

The item we purchased finally arrived in store more than three weeks after the “week to 10 days tops” date had passed. To be fair I did get a phone call to say that it had arrived in store and was ready to be picked up.

Just in case I had any inkling at all to possibly set foot back in that store in the future, the following happened, to slam the door shut on that possibility: Cellphone rings, “Hello Mr Hooper, it’s … from …, your item has arrived and is ready to be picked up.”

Me: “Aaah finally, thank you.

Can I please get that delivered?”

S.A. (shop assistant): “Um yes we can organise that, there will be a delivery charge though.”

Me: “Really? After waiting all this time you are going to charge me to drop it off at my place?”

S.A. (shit attitude) “Oh, um, one moment please”.

She asks someone beside her (without muting or covering mic on phone) with a Kylie Mole, naughty teenage girl tone: “He wants it delivered for free because he’s had to wait so long, is that ok?”

After a muffled response from her workmate: “We will talk nicely to the truck driver and hopefully it should be fine.”

So they didn’t actually have it in store at all, it was still on a truck somewhere.

S.A.: (Slightly annoyed and really sick of talking to me): “I will get them to call you an hour before they are at your house so you can meet them there.”

Me: “That’s great, thank you.”

S.A. (Sorry and apologetic …

NOT): “Thanks, bye.”

I got off the phone with a sense of relief, we were finally going to get our item and I had at least an hour up my sleeve to finish up at work and get home. Timing was going to be perfect.

Ten minutes later I get a call from the truck driver saying they have our item ready to drop off and the GPS is saying they are three minutes away!

Never again!

Syria debate: Gloves off The United States and Russia abandoned diplomatic niceties yesterday in a fractious public debate over Syria, blaming each other for spoiling the country’s cease-fire and offering only temporary patches to stem the bloodshed.

Secretary of State John Kerry called for all warplanes to halt flights over aid routes, while Russia’s chief diplomat spoke of a possible three-day pause in fighting.

In a UN Security Council session originally envisioned to enshrine Syria’s September 9 truce, world powers rued the possibility of a darker phase in the conflict amid increased attacks on humanitarian workers.

The council’s nations all sought to revive the US-Russian cease-fire deal, but once again illustrated why they’ve been unable for more than five years to stop Syria’s civil war.

“Supposedly we all want the same goal. I’ve heard that again and again,” a visibly angry Kerry told the council.

“Everybody sits there and says we want a united Syria, secular, respecting the rights of all people, in which the people of Syria can choose their leader-

While the US and Russia have previously butted heads over several proposed resolutions critical of the Syrian government, yesterday’s

Instead, the two-hour discussion served as a warm-up act for a later meeting blocks away in New York that will include Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their counterparts from more than a dozen European

Marion Cotillard has addressed rumours she’s involved in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s split by confirming she’s pregnant.

The 40-year-old actress took to Instagram to deny reports of an affair with her Allied co-star Pitt and to reveal that she and her partner Guillaume Canet, 43, are expecting a second child together. Cotillard wrote: “I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiralling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up. Many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need.

Police: ‘We didn’t shoot’; man killed in protest Authorities in Charlotte tried to quell public anger yesterday after a police officer shot a black man, but a dusk prayer vigil turned into a march that ended with the gunshot death of a protester.

The man was not shot by police who had massed in riot gear to keep the marchers outside an upscale downtown hotel, Charlotte officials announced on Twitter.

But the second night of violent protests, added Charlotte to the list of US cities that have

erupted in violence over the death of a black man at the hands of police.

With officials refusing to release any video of the shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, anger built as two starkly different versions emerged: Police say Scott disregarded repeated demands to drop his gun, while neighbourhood residents say he was holding a book, not a weapon, as he waited for his son to get off the school bus.

The killing inflamed racial

tensions in a city that seemed to have steered clear of the troubles that engulfed other places.

Destructive protests that included shutting down eightlane Interstate 85 and burning the contents of a tractor-trailer turned violent. Along with the man shot to death, paramedics said two other people and six police officers suffered minor injuries.

The protest started as a downtown prayer vigil, but an angry group left the vigil and marched through downtown Charlotte.

They shouted “black lives matter” and “hands up; don’t shoot” while cursing at officers with bicycles blocking intersections.

As the protesters approached the Omni hotel, officers in riot gear lined up outside arm in arm and a few marchers threw bottles and clods of dirt.

Immediately after the shooting, police began firing flash grenades and protesters threw fireworks. Police then fired tear gas, and the crowd of hundreds dispersed.

than 1.9 per cent following the announcement and the yen fell which is good for the export reliant nation.

The US Federal Reserve chose to hold rates as was expected, despite some turmoil in recent weeks after members of the Fed said that the committee could be ready for a rate hike as early as this meeting. However, the market was fairly certain that the central bank would hold rates pricing in a mere 20 per cent chance of a rate hike occurring.

Interest was certainly high however, for the commentary following the Fed decision, with Chair Janet Yellen commenting that US growth was looking stronger and a rate increase would be needed soon to keep the economy from overheating and fuelling high inflation.

Expectations are that there will be only one rate hike this year and the most likely scenario is that this will occur in December. The market is now pricing in a 61.2 per cent chance that this will occur. At the same time policymakers cut the number of rate hike increases they expect this year from two to one and projections for the next couple of years’ interest rate path were less aggressive.

The final cab off the rank was the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

As with the Fed, expectations were for the RBNZ to hold rates

steady at the all-time low of 2.00 per cent and this came to fruition.

RBNZ Governor Graeme Wheeler acknowledged that despite global growth remaining low, economic growth in New Zealand is going well, particularly since dairy prices have started to gain ground.

Housing remains a major risk to economic stability as price inflation remains excessive, but also mentioned that macro-prudential tools and tighter credit conditions are having a moderating influence.

The RBNZ intimated that a further interest rate cut will be required to boost inflation, even though long-term inflation remains in line with the targeted range.

Fonterra made two major announcements this week, starting with the upward revision of the forecast milk payout for the current season by a further 50 cents to $5.25 per kilo of milksolids. This came on the back of a third consecutive rise in the Global Dairy Trade auction, albeit a modest one by comparison.

In addition to this, the company announced a solid result for the year, with net profit after tax rising 65 per cent to $834 million. The company acknowledged that the 2015/16 season had been hard for farmers as dairy prices were at unsustainably low levels, and although expectations are for volatility to continue, there are solid signs of improvement in prices.

Central bank news dominates entral bank meetings have dominated news flow this week both locally and offshore with the Bank of Japan, US Federal Reserve and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand all making monetary policy announcements.

All three announced within 24 hours of each other, so gave investors plenty of data to process in quick succession. Markets were fairly muted in the lead up to the announcement with most investors wanting to sit on their hands and not take a big position either way.

The Bank of Japan was the first cab off the rank and expectations were high that the central bank would implement some kind of fresh monetary easing. Rumours that it could possibly lower interest rates further into negative territory proved false, however, others relating to less conventional measures were more accurate.

These measures included a cap on 10 year government bond yields at zero per cent, which is designed to steepen the yield curve. The BOJ will maintain its government bond buying programme more or less in line with the current pace of 80 trillion yen a year; however, this will include fewer long-term bonds. The central bank also committed to continuing to buy assets until inflation exceeds the current target of 2 per cent and stays above this level in a stable manner.

The response to the increased stimulus was mixed, with some analysts downbeat about the decision to not cut rates further or expand the asset purchases, seeing it as a signal that the central bank has little scope for further easing.

However, the Nikkei gained more

completion of the merger.

In the year to June 30, Fairfax generated revenue of $350.3 million and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $60.2 million.

Over the same period NZME generated revenue of $415.9 million and EBITDA of $75 million.

On a combined basis, NZME and Fairfax generated total revenue in the year to June 30 of $766.2 million and total EBITDA of $135.2 million.

“NZME and Fairfax have undertaken a review of expected transaction synergies, and as a result of this review, expect that the combined business could generate significant synergies,” they said.

The realisation of those synergies would require one-off costs to be incurred by the combined business. In order to fund its obligations under the merger agreement, NZME expects to increase its bank facilities to $250 million through a syndicated bank facility.

The Overseas Investment Office has granted consent to the proposed merger of media companies NZME and Fairfax NZ. Media company NZME, publisher of the Herald and owner of Newstalk ZB, plans to pay Fairfax Australia $55 million as part of the proposed merger with its rival.

The merger remains conditional on NZME shareholder and New Zealand Commerce Commission approval, among other matters.

The companies released details to the NZX on September 9 saying NZME intends to pay Fairfax Australia $55 million, with the Australian parent taking a 41 per cent stake in the merged group.

A decision from the Commerce Commission is expected by March next year.

The media groups said that Fairfax NZ’s significant New Zealand audience reach was complementary to that of NZME, with the combined business reaching about 3.7 million New

C-HR the RAV4’s new little sibling C-

HR stands for Coupe – High Rider, despite its having four doors and riding kind of low for a crossover.

Smaller than its corporate sibling the RAV4, it is bigger than the Nissan Juke and should have greater interior room.

The company did a better job with the styling than the name.

The bulging fenders, tapered greenhouse, falling roofline, and rising beltline were originally sketched at Toyota’s California design studio and survived almost entirely intact through two concept iterations that were shown in September 2014 and September 2015.

The C-HR is built on Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA), a flexible platform that debuted with Toyota’s fourth-generation Prius.

Compared with the one-size-up RAV4, the C-HR is roughly 25cm shorter, 50cm narrower, and 10cm lower.

Yet the C-HR still has a significant size advantage on the Juke. The Toyota packs an extra 23cm of length and 11cm of wheelbase compared with the Nissan, so it should be better suited to moving passengers and cargo behind the front seats.

Toyota also says it wants the C-HR’s dance moves to match its looks.

Engineers claim it handles like a C-segment hatchback, with less body roll than the common crossover.

The C-HR will be offered with a 1.2-litre turbo four-cylinder or a hybrid powertrain that uses a 1.8-litre four-cylinder this will be confirmed prior to release along with fuel figures later this year or early next.

■ MINI WORKS CLUBMAN

Potent new Mini still fun to drive T he new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman offers all the style, practicality and fresh-thinking of the Clubman, combined with the high performance and sporting dynamics of the John Cooper Works range.

The result is a unique and exclusive proposition that combines the John Cooper Works-specification engine and corresponding modifications with MINI’s ALL4 all-wheel drive system.

In creating this potent model, able to take full advantage of the maximum possible traction in all conditions, MINI has created a powerful but practical vehicle that’s fun to drive in the true spirit of a MINI. As the latest member of the John Cooper Works family, the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman features all the upgrades already seen on the John Cooper Works Hatch and Convertible models.

These include the 231 hp engine with modified MINI TwinPower turbocharger, sports suspension and powerful braking system.

A 0-62 mph time of just 6.3-seconds and a top speed of 148 mph is the result, but not at the expense of economy or emissions; with up to 41.5mpg on the com-

bined cycle and CO2 emissions as low as 154 g/km.

The MINI John Cooper Works Clubman is instantly recognisable thanks to its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, and its rear wing.

These not only help reduce lift, but in the case of the front section, assist with the additional cooling requirements of the more powerful engine. Unique alloy

wheels and John Cooper Works badging also denote the top-of-the-range Clubman, as does the option of the special colour Rebel Green.

Inside, the John Cooper Works specification includes sports seats, an Alcantara headliner, and a wide array of standard equipment including MINI Navigation, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and cruise control with brake function. MINI

2008 Toyota Hilux SR5 175,300kms, Auto

logo projection is also included within the standard package. Beyond that, MINI offers a huge range of personalisation options, allowing owners to create their own, unique, MINI John Cooper Works Clubman.

The new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman uses the same highly tuned engine as the John Cooper Works Hatch and Convertible models.

The 2-litre unit features the latest MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology and Valvetronic fully variable valve control on both the intake and exhaust camshafts.

To effectively realise the increased output of 231 hp between 50006000rpm (up 39 hp on the standard Cooper S engine), the John Cooper Works Clubman uses a modified turbocharger made from a particularly heat resistant material.

A correspondingly larger intercooler is also fitted, which contributes to an increase in torque to 350 nm which develops over a particularly wide band from 1450-4800rpm.

Unsurprisingly, the cooling system has also been upgraded to cope with the increased heat generated by a more powerful engine, and now features a second coolant radiator found in the left-hand wheel arch.

Finally, a sports exhaust helps to reduce the engine’s backpressure and also gives the Clubman a sporty sound familiar from other models in the John Cooper range.

NZ connection to the fore B

y taking the season’s fifth win, Porsche has extended its lead in the manufacturers’ standings of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

At the sixth out of nine championship rounds, held in Austin, Texas, last weekend, the reigning world champions, Timo Bernhard (DE), Brendon Hartley (NZ) and Mark Webber (AU) achieved their third victory

in a row in tropical weather conditions.

They had started from third position on the grid.

When the race got underway at 5pm local time, ambient temperatures were over 35 degree Celsius and tested the drivers and mechanics to the limit.

The cooler it became after sunset, the stronger the Porsche 919 Hybrid became.

Thanks to a well-managed pit stop strategy, the winning trio took the lead some time after mid distance.

In total this is the 12th victory for the innovative Porsche 919 Hybrid prototype since its 2014 debut.

For Bernhard/Hartley/Webber it is their seventh WEC success. Porsche now leads the manufacturers’ standings with 238 points ahead of Audi (185) and Toyota (137).

â– V8 SUPERCARS

Kiwi drivers friends again

T

hings got a little testy last weekend but Kiwi Supercars drivers Shane Van Gisbergen and Fabian Coulthard are mates

again.

The relationship between the two New Zealanders reached breaking point in last Saturday’s qualifying race ahead of the Sandown 500 when Van Gisbergen attempted to pass Coulthard but jumped across a curb and banged him off the track.

Coulthard then made contact with Will Davison once he rejoined the track, which resulted in race control forcing him to slow down and slot in behind the Tekno driver.

Coulthard could be heard blowing up on the team radio.

Van Gisbergen admits it was his error but says Coulthard wasn’t fully aware of what happened. “I crashed into him, which wasn’t too good for our friendship but I went down and saw him,� the Holden driver said. “My mistake there but he was pretty livid about it until he saw the footage where I had mucked up. I think he had thought I had just driven into him.�

The two Kiwis put that behind them on Sunday as they completed top six finishes in the main race. “It is cool to have a couple of Kiwis up there in fast cars and the potential for other Kiwis to be up there as well,�

Van Gisbergen says.

■ JEEP - THE SUPREME GENERAL PURPOSE VEHICLE

Powerhouse on wheels S

eventy-six years ago this week a vehicle born of necessity made its debut.

It gained iconic status almost immediately.

And it’s never lost it.

Born just seven weeks after it was conceived the Jeep was the result of lots of hard work and heaps of genius.

The idea, or if you like twinkle in the eye, had been around for a while, even as far back as World War One when the American military had recognised the need for a fast, light-weight allterrain reconnaissance vehicle.

But things became urgent in 1940 when the Axis powers were scoring victory after victory in Europe and North Africa and it looked increasingly likely America would be dragged into World War Two. So the Army put out a call to automobile manufacturers to come up with ideas.

Actually it was more than that, the Army asked for a running prototype in just 49 days.

The original specifications included a suggested weight which ultimately proved unrealistic and had to be increased, ground clearance, payload, dimensions, and the power output of the engine.

It was also specified that the vehicle had to be 4-wheel-drive and have a cooling system which would prevent the engine overheating during sustained low speed activity, one of the special requirements of the new vehicle.

It was a very tall order, especially given the short time frame.

Of 130 companies invited to submit a design only two – the Bantam Car Company, which had supplied some earlier reconnaissance vehicles to the Army, and Willys Overland – responded.

Bantam’s only hope to meet this deadline was to bring in outside help.

Their saviour was Karl Probst, a well-known Detroit engineer who accepted the job as a patriotic challenge without salary.

He went to work on July 17 1940.

Incredibly in just two days he had completely laid out plans for the Bantam prototype, which was known as the Quad, and on July 22 Bantam’s bid was submitted complete with layouts of the new vehicle.

Bantam’s first handbuilt proto-

type was complete and running

by September 21, 1940, meeting the 49 day deadline.

The Army put the prototype machine through torturous testing, and eventually the testers concluded the vehicle would fit the bill.

Ultimately, Willys Overland and Ford both submitted prototypes based on the Bantam plans supplied to them by the Army.

Each added their own changes and modifications to the original Bantam design.

Because of Bantam’s shaky manufacturing and financial position and the advantages of the Willys Overland vehicle the Army awarded the contract to Willys Overland.

Since the War Department required a large number of vehicles in a relatively short time, Willys Overland granted the United States Government a non-exclusive licence to allow another company to manufacture vehicles using Willys’ specifications.

Under this agreement, Willys supplied the Ford Motor Co. with a complete set of specifications.

During World War Two Willys Overland and Ford filled more than 700,000 orders.

Overnight Jeep vehicles were recognised by soldiers and civilians alike as the vehicle that could go anywhere and do anything.

An incredible story.

But there is an interesting twist to it.

Where did the name Jeep come from?

Although no one really knows for certain, there are several theories about how the Willys Quad ended up being called the Jeep.

Maybe it came from the slurring of the acronym GP for General Purpose vehicle, the designation the Army gave to the new vehicle.

Another explanation is the name was used in Oklahoma as early as 1934 to designate a truck equipped with special equipment for drilling oil wells.

Some people claim the vehicle was called a Jeep in reference to the character Eugene the Jeep in the 1936 Popeye comic strip.

Comic character Eugene the Jeep was a small, impish looking animal that had the power to travel back and forth between dimensions and could solve all sorts of problems.

Yet another version is that Irving “Red” Haussmann, a Willys-Overland test driver gave a demonstration ride to a group of dignitaries in Washington, DC. Among the group was Kath-

Bernard Egan MOTORING

erine Hillyer, a reporter for the Washington Daily News, who wrote an article about the vehicle that was published in February 1941 with the photo caption headline, Jeep Creeps Up Capitol Steps.

This was probably the first media reference to the Jeep name.

Whatever the origin of the name, Jeep has become one of the most recognised brands in the world.

So the incredible Jeep not only became an immediate success but it also created a sense of mystery around its name.

The Willys Company quickly realised their Jeeps, which had proved themselves in combat, would also have a place in peace time, so they registered the trademark and in 1945 they produced the first of what is now a long series of various civilian models, while still supplying the Military who have used them in many other campaigns.

Advertised in 1945 as a Powerhouse on Wheels and preceded by a wonderful reputation, the Jeep very soon became both a recreational vehicle and a workhorse, often bought by ex-military personnel who were keen to continue their association with the vehicles which they knew they could trust and which had served them so well in the theatres of war.

The Jeep is arguably the oldest four-wheel-drive mass production vehicle, and it certainly encouraged other manufactures like Landrover to produce similar excellent vehicles.

It took just 49 days – seven weeks – to produce the first prototype which appeared 76 years ago this week.

Some of the Jeeps being built today are a far cry from the original utilitarian model, but they share a wonderful heritage and Jeep is still revered and always will be.

‘Don’t put me with Phil please’

Mt Hutt riders run hot

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mt Hutt College students were in top form at the recent Aoraki Secondary Schools’ Mountain

Bike Championships at Centennial Park in Timaru.

The four riders – Brea Roderick, Alex Roderick, Jack Davey and Anthony Kearvell – were

faced with a tough technical cross country course, but all battled hard for a podium place.

Brea Roderick took out third spot in the Under 15 girls’ race.

Not to be outdone, Alex Roderick also placed third, while fellow 7/8 boys’ riders Jack Davey pedalled to silver and Anthony Kearvell took a superb first place.

■ CYCLING

Bond back for another shot at Tour Olympic and world champion rower Hamish Bond will swap boat for bike when he takes on next month’s Tour of Southland.

Bond, one half of the indomitable New Zealand men’s pair with Eric Murray, will ride for the Vantage Windows & Doors team, which will include his brother Alistair and New Zealand professional cyclist Michael Torckler.

The tour runs from October 30 to November 5 and is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.

“I don’t have any expectations or ambitions in terms of cycling, and that’s why it’s such a luxury to come down,” Bond said.

“I’ll be in good shape and good form by my standards, but there’s no pressure, which is something that I’ve lived with since we stepped into the pair and started winning.

“Every race we put our winning record on the line and there’s a lot of pressure associated with that, mainly from ourselves.

“I’m looking forward to being

that underdog maverick that I haven’t been able to be for eight or nine years.”

It’s not the first time Bond has competed in New Zealand’s most prestigious stage race, which he’d previously rode as a 23-year-old in 2009.

“He’s an elite athlete at the top of the game and this won’t be a junket for him at all,” Tour of Southland director Bruce Ross said. “It’s great to see him place so much respect on this race and I know he’s putting in a lot of training to be competitive.”

While Bond finished 68th on general classification in 2009, more importantly he was part of the Zookeepers-Cycle Surgery team which claimed team classification honours, and helped Heath Blackgrove to take out the yellow jersey.

“I’ve always enjoyed cycling.

“I had a go at the tour in 2009 when we had just recently won our first world championship in the pair.

Hamish Bond “I was still pretty green and I was trying to ride and row at the same time and I didn’t really do either any justice,” Bond said.

“It’s fair to say I wasn’t really prepared for Southland and I suffered really badly, so I wanted to come back and do it justice.

“I was in a team with some

serious talent, of which I was seriously lacking, but they never made me feel that way and I’ve remained friends with the guys through to this day.

“My greatest memory is just being out the back and having to survive in the crosswinds, riding in the gutter for kilometre after kilometre.”

Bond and Murray have won 69 straight races in a streak which goes back to 2009, including back-to-back Olympic and eight world championship titles.

Bond said he never seriously thought about continuing his partnership with Murray on the bike.

“I don’t know if Eric would make it up Bluff Hill, to be honest, even if he only started at the bottom,” Bond said with a laugh.

“We do a lot of cycling for crosstraining and there wouldn’t be too many stronger bike riders in the world that are Eric’s size – but when the road starts going uphill he certainly notices it.” - NZME

Dustin Johnson says he does not want to partner United States team-mate Phil Mickelson at next week’s Ryder Cup in Minnesota.

Throwing diplomacy out of the window, the long-hitting Johnson made clear his thoughts regarding five-times major champion.

“I think I can partner pretty well with pretty much anyone, except for Phil,” world No.2 Johnson told reporters on the eve of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club.

“Me and Phil don’t partner well together,” added Johnson, in what amounted to a public plea to US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III. US Open champion Johnson made it clear he has no personal issue with Mickelson, with whom he regularly plays practice rounds before tournaments, usually with a wager on the line.

“We play well against each other,” said Johnson.

“I love Phil and we’re great friends but we have a lot more fun when we’re playing against each other than when we’re partners.”

Johnson’s antipathy to partnering Mickelson stretches back to the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor in Wales, when the two were paired for the opening day foursomes and fourballs.

They lost both matches 3&2.

Left-hander Mickelson famously also had a nightmare partnership with Tiger Woods at the 2004 Ryder Cup. They were arguably the best two players in the world at the time, and US captain Hal Sutton thought they would be invincible together.

But that proved to be a terrible decision, as Woods and Mickelson lost both of their first-day matches.

They have not been paired since.

Mickelson has a 16-19-6 (winloss-halve) record from 10 Ryder Cups, while Johnson is 4-3-0 after two appearances.

■ RUGBY

All Blacks ‘losing their way’ The whinging Aussies are at it again – and it’s a familiar pied piper at the head of fresh Wallaby allegations that the All Blacks and New Zealand rugby are arrogant.

Sir Graham Henry’s observation last weekend that the current Australian team is the worst in its rugby history has clearly hit a giant nerve across the Tasman and the volume of the whining is increasing daily and is again being led by ex-Wallaby motor-mouths Rod Kafer and Greg Martin.

The pair was at it on Fox Sport’s midweek Rugby 360 television show where it was clear they were mortally offended by Henry having a viewpoint – let alone the temerity to express it – and used the occasion to list a litany of complaints about the All Blacks and rugby on this side of the Tasman in general.

Under the provocative subject heading of “The All Blacks are losing their way”, Kafer, Martin and two guests discussed Henry’s comments.

“There will be young blokes in the Wallabies who have never heard of Graham Henry,” scoffed Martin in a debatable claim given Henry only hung up his coaching tags in 2011.

If any Wallabies don’t know who ‘Ted’ is, you could legitimately question whether they have any real rugby knowledge and should even be in an international team.

Martin’s dismissal of Henry’s view seemed to embolden Kafer who then went on a lengthy ti-

The All Blacks suffer from a lack and humility and good manners, according to Greg Martin. rade – not for the first time either – after being asked by Martin about the All Blacks’ apparent lack of humility and good manners.

“We did mention it here (previously) and were rudely bagged by our New Zealand friends,” began Kafer, also a former Australian selector.

“There’s been a series of events around New Zealand rugby over the past 12 months.

“It started when Richie McCaw didn’t thank the Wallabies in the World Cup final, Dane Coles didn’t thank the Lions when they played the Super Rugby final, we’ve seen the off-field incidents in New Zealand from the Chiefs,

we’ve seen the way some of the things that have been occurring around the All Blacks camp. “(There was) the eye-gouging incident that for everyone watching around the world thought there was a case to answer, and the All Blacks just ignore it and blow it away.

“Steve Hansen just dismisses it.

“Here’s the former coach, a knighted coach, one of the greatest coaches of all time ... why does he have to make a comment like that at the Wallabies?

“Why? “To me again it just continues these little chips into that very humble team that was the All Blacks.

“And I think they are losing their way.

“That’s just my opinion from the sidelines.”

Kiwi rugby fans rallied to the All Blacks defence on social media as quickly as Kieran Reid’s men rack up double digit scorelines against the Ockers.

“You do not like honest feedback,” wrote Ron Wood.

“Your game is crap.

“It is disappointing for Tatafu, who has been one of the most consistent and valued members of our finishers off the bench. He needs time to get his body right and we respect that,” coach Michael Cheika said.

Veteran winger Drew Mitchell, lock Will Skelton and back-rower

Ben McCalman have all been left out due to a lack of recent match fitness.

Matt Toomua misses out too as he continues to follow concussion protocols following his head knock against the All Blacks in Sydney last month.

The only other addition is Nick Frisby, who joins Nick Phipps as back-up to in-form halfback Genia.

McCalman’s exclusion means

the race to replace the injured David Pocock at No.8 is essentially down to two – Sean McMahon, who came on for Pocock when he broke his hand during the win over the Pumas, or Lopeti Timani, who made his test debut off the bench in that match.

Redelinghuys has recovered from a hamstring injury suffered in the narrow win over Argentina in Nelspruit last month – the Boks’ only victory in four matches in this year’s Championship.

Coach Allister Coetzee said he had opted for continuity despite three successive defeats.

“Although the results have not gone our way so far in the campaign, I think it will be good to keep the current squad together so that we can build continuity,” he said.

“It’s great to have players with the experience of Pat and Willie back in the squad.

“The same goes for Julian and Lood, both of whom have played very well for us this year and will both add something to the pack.

“Pat has been included in the squad so that our medical and conditioning team can get firsthand feedback.

“We have much work to do as a team and the best way to build confidence is to keep continuity and improve on the individual errors and our game management that have so far hampered us.”

An English rugby writer has poured cold water on Steven Hansen’s proposal of an annual match between the Six Nations and Rugby Championship winners because he says World Rugby won’t agree to it. Officials have held talks about the scheduling of rugby after the next World Cup, with proposals to align the northern and southern hemisphere playing calendars.

Evening Standard writer Chris Jones said it would be fantastic to see the clash between the likes of the All Blacks and England for a world championship go ahead, but says the main issue will be scheduling and getting World Rugby to sign it off.

The All Black posted a short video to his Twitter account showing him with his left foot, which is in a moon boot after surgery, strapped to a skateboard to allow him to use a rowing machine.

Hammers out to climb ladder

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will return to the Ashburton Showgrounds tomorrow where they will play host to West Coast in week five of the Heartland Championship.

The Hammers returned to winning form against HorowhenuaKapiti last weekend with a 42-26 victory to take all five points.

Following back-to-back defeats the Mid Canterbury faithful will hope their side is now back on track.

Mid Canterbury will be heavy favourites on paper to see off a West Coast outfit that currently hover second from bottom on

the Heartland ladder.

Coast were on the wrong end of a 74-6 thumping by perennial Heartland heavyweights Wanganui in week one before South Canterbury heaped on more misery by dealing them a 58-20 loss a week later in Greymouth.

A 36-30 victory over winless East Coast followed but last weekend’s 48-0 humbling at the hands of Buller will be an occasion the Coasters will want to forget quickly.

There will be several changes to the Mid Canterbury XV that downed Horowhenua in last Saturday’s physical encounter in Levin.

Jon Dampney will return to the fray at lock, but his usual duties as captain will be retained by Eric Duff.

Meanwhile Celtic’s Hamish Finnie will make his first start at loosehead prop after Adam Williamson suffered a calf injury in training on Tuesday.

Williamson is expected to be out of action for between four to six weeks.

Another change to the front row will be Brendon Ridgen, who replaces Jackson Donlan at hooker.

Openside flanker Troy Mangan has been stood down for the mandatory three weeks after

suffering a concussion against Horowhenua-Kapiti last Saturday.

He will be replaced by Celtic’s Nick McKain.

The only other change to the starting lineup for tomorrow will be on the right wing where Christian Vainerere will don the 14 jersey in place of Maleli Sau, who is being rested as a precaution after picking up a neck strain.

Meanwhile the introduction to the bench of origin player Jordan Stewart at lock and loan Christchurch prop Sam Cottom will bolster the Hammers’ depleted forward ranks.

TEAMS Heartland Championship week five: Mid Canterbury v West Coast, 2.30pm, Ashburton Showgrounds.

Mid Canterbury: Hamish Finnie, Brendon Ridgen, Mike Lynch, Jon Dampney, Eric Duff (c) Tavita Ula, Nick McKain, Phil Watson, Will Mackenzie, Jarred Percival, Seta Koroitamana, Nete Caucau, Richard Catherwood, Christian Vainerere, Timoci Nabakeke.

Replacements: Jackson Donlan, Sam Cottom, Angus Lindsay, Jordan Stewart, Cory Sinclair, Ollie Sapsford, Andrew Letham.

West Coast: David Crouchley, Troy Tauwhare, Jesse Macrae, Kalave Aualiitia, Josh Manning, Brogan Watt, Kevin Curtis, Amenatave Tukana, Nick Makea, Nik Cumming, Chad Kingi-Ternant, Erenimo Tau, Regan Stanton, Kolinio Radrovi, Brad Tunnicliffe.

Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan is unfazed by Ricky Stuart’s attack on his NRL club’s playing style, believing his Canberra counterpart is only using the Sharks as a way to get at Melbourne. Stuart accused Cronulla of turning Canberra’s qualifying final against Canberra into a UFC battle, indicating the Sharks ignored referees’ instructions on offside and in the ruck. But Flanagan believes Stuart only used the attack as a way to get inside the minds of referees ahead of his team’s preliminary final clash with the Storm on Saturday. “For me it’s just a tactic of Sticky to put the referees on notice,” Flanagan said.

Malone sets sights on able-bodied runners Double Paralympic gold medallist Liam Malone (right) has his sights set on breaking the national able-bodied record and becoming the fastest man in the country over 400 metres.

Malone returned from Rio this week to a hero’s welcome at Auckland airport after winning gold with Paralympic recordbreaking times in the men’s 400 metre T43 (46:20s) and 200 metre T32 (21:06s) events and also claimed silver in the 100 metre (11:02s).

Not content with that haul, the 22-yearold wants to compete in the New Zealand Nationals and believes he can compete with the fastest able-bodied runners in the country.

“Next for me, in terms of competition, will be nationals (and) break the New Zealand able-bodied record which is 46.1,” Malone told NZME’s Laura McGoldrick.

“I’ll go into the 45s I hope.”

Malone says a lack of competition in New Zealand means he already has to train and compete against able-bodied runners.

The Nelson-born Wellington-based athlete recalled how a lack of sporting prowess as a youngster is driving him to

become the fastest New Zealander over 400 metres.

“I have an advantage in (that) I just run against the able-bodied guys because I don’t have anyone else to compete against.

“And so it’s not legit in a sense, but I’m a kid who lost every race at primary school, high school, worst on the rugby field, sucked at team sports, always let people down.

“So the narrative of going from being that person to being the fastest person in the country over 400 metres, advantage or no advantage, I couldn’t care less.

“To me that’s pretty cool.”

The next few days will allow Malone the chance to explore some business opportunities that have come in the wake of his success in Rio before resuming his university studies next Monday.

But before he hits the books he revealed a desire to follow up on some opportunities to do some stand-up comedy.

“That’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” he said.

“I’m going to have to really start learning how to write jokes and get on to that within the next couple of days.” - NZME

Even if Michael Ennis’ NRL career ends without a 2016 premiership ring, North Queensland’s Jason Taumalolo reckons the Cronulla rake is already guaranteed one title – the league’s most irritating player. But Taumalolo did not warm to the prospect of finally silencing Ennis by bringing an abrupt halt to his playing days this week. Few would argue after Ennis copped plenty of criticism for taunting Raiders fans with his own “Viking clap” following the Sharks’ opening finals win in Canberra. For the record, Taumalolo reckoned he could see the funny side of Ennis’ dig at Canberra fans.

New rules ‘a farce’ International rugby league has just created a monster. Dramatic changes to the game’s international eligibility rules have turned the international theatre of rugby league into a farce. Under new rules being proposed by the Rugby League International Federation, players not selected for the socalled tier-one nations, Australia, New Zealand and England, will be free to play for developing league countries. It means Jarryd Hayne and Anthony Milford could play State of Origin, before being selected to play for Fiji and Samoa respectively at the World Cup.

Hard work reaps rewards From the outside Cooper Cronk is one lucky man.

Elite footballer, millionaire, handsome with a glamorous girlfriend by his side.

But Cronk is a walking example of the old adage that the harder you work, the luckier you get.

The 32-year-old Melbourne halfback will play his 300th NRL game in their preliminary final against Canberra on Saturday night, becoming just the 25th player to do so.

Cronk says if it wasn’t for the Storm and his long-time coach Craig Bellamy he would be lucky to have played half that amount of games.

“No disrespect to any other football club but I’m probably a 100-150 game player somewhere else if it wasn’t for the influence of Craig,” Cronk said.

“For him to give me the opportunity and the environment, atmosphere and resources I’ve had, I’m pretty fortunate.”

Bellamy can’t disagree, saying Cronk has made the most of his talent.

He says Cronk is mostly selftaught – driven by the want to succeed – and he’s never coached a player who has worked harder.

“Some people do go a long way on their talent; Cooper has gone a long way on the talent he’s been given through hard work,” Bellamy said this week.

“I don’t think I’ve seen anyone work as hard on his game, especially in his first 18 months.

“He still continues to work really hard but it was quite remarkable the amount of work he put into his knowledge of the game.”

Ahead of the grand final qualifer, Cronk said that passing on that knowledge gave him as much joy as winning.

“I’ve had some remarkable moments on the football field and I suppose my inspiration these days is to make sure other guys get to experience the moments like that, because when you’re 50 and retired you can sit

Cooper Cronk has played 299 games, including five grand finals. back and cherish that,” he said.

“That would make me super proud.”

In the early days Cronk came across, at least to the public, as somewhat aloof.

He’s been called eccentric, an enigma and most certainly an independent thinker.

Rather than head off on boozefilled end of season boys’ trips, he preferred to travel solo, soaking up the mystery of Peru.

He’s well-spoken and wellread, naming American conservative political and cultural commentator David Brooks as a favourite author.

He’s not on Facebook and he doesn’t tweet although he has recently been urged into setting up an Instagram page.

While it no longer exists, he did launch his own website that offered his reflections on his journey.

He talked of challenging himself as a youngster, not permitting himself to go home until he’d kicked 10 goals straight,

which often happened after dark.

In 14 years he’s played 299 games, reached five grand finals, won a Dally M medal and a Clive Churchill Medal.

He’s also played 28 games for Australia including a World Cup win and six State of Origin triumphs in seven years with Queensland.

Bellamy says he’s in awe of the resilience of Cronk.

“I’ve coached a lot of players and he’s right up there,” Bellamy said.

“His reliability and his resilience to play as many games as he has and he certainly doesn’t play in a dinner suit.

“He’s only a small guy and he cops some late hits as all halfbacks do but he just keeps getting up.”

For all his skills, his toughness – both mentally and physically – Bellamy says Cronk means just as much to the Storm off the field.

“It’s not just what everybody

sees and everybody knows; Cooper is really good with a lot of our younger blokes.

“Especially blokes who might be going through a tough time, whether they’re struggling to get into first grade or maybe they’ve been injured or they’ve got a few financial problems off the field.

“Whatever it is, when Coops hears of that, he’s the first one to go and help them.

“He’s not just a great footy player, he’s a really good person and this club has been lucky to have him.”

Cronk and Cameron Smith will become the first 300-gamers to play in the same team, with the Melbourne skipper reaching the milestone last season.

They have shared plenty and Cronk hoped there was more good memories to be made, starting Saturday night at AAMI Park.

“We were living the dream when we were 19, 20 and we still are today,” Cronk said.

Sharks set sights on stopping Taumalolo Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan has identified stopping rampaging North Queensland back-rower Jason Taumalolo (right) as key to the Sharks’ chance of progressing to a grand final in a unified competition for the first time in almost 40 years.

The premiers stand in the way of Cronulla’s path to the decider, in particular Kiwis forward Taumalolo who was a standout man of the match in last week’s extratime semi-final win over Brisbane.

Earlier in the week he won the Rugby League Players’ Association Players Champion award as the NRL’s best player as voted on by his peers.

And Flanagan is under no illusion as to Taumalolo’s impor-

tance to the Cowboys side.

He is playing some great footy,” Flanagan said at the Sharks’ captain’s run at Allianz Stadium yesterday.

“We need to get up on him, we need to cut his time down so he is not coming at us, we are going at him.

“But that is a challenge in itself, the play the ball before can’t be quick and we can’t be sitting on our heels.

“He is a big man coming at you with speed and footwork, you need to be going at him rather than have him coming at you.”

Sharks skipper and lock Paul Gallen, who will return from a back injury tonight, has been mentioned as the player respon-

sible for stopping his opposite Taumalolo. But Flanagan insisted it needed to be a team effort.

“It is everyone’s job,” he said.

“He will carry the ball in the middle and carry it towards our edges sometimes.

“It is up to our whole forward pack to stop him.”

Sharks forwards Sam Tagataese and Joseph Paulo did not take part in the Sharks’ captain’s run and will miss the clash with the Cowboys as their recovery from respective shoulder and knee injuries continue.

If the Sharks can progress to their first grand final in a unified competition since 1978, Flanagan said Tagataese and Paulo would be available.

Puzzles

Puzzles and horoscopes www.guardianonline.co.nz Cryptic crossword

Friday, September 23, 2016

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): How have your choices, for better or worse, landed you here? It’s the question you’ll keep asking yourself. In order to make your next move you have to understand your last one.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You haven’t a clue what’s coming, and the surprise of that makes life interesting for you. A fantastic new circle of friends will celebrate your ideas and support your plans.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): In the same way that flowers can’t recognize their own beauty and grizzly bears don’t think of themselves as ferocious, you have this talent that’s so close to you that you can’t even see it.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): How will you control the wild energy? Never doubt that there’s a way to tame and direct it to create huge beauty in the world. A Sagittarius or Aquarius will be your ally in this endeavour.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It’s more than a cliche: Everyone is busy. It’s almost gotten to the point of being a contest – not a contest you’d want to win, though. Clear some space. When you are less busy, you’ll get more accomplished.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Someone is pressuring you to move before you are ready. Don’t buy into that person’s time frame; you have your own! That someone has a different sense of pacing doesn’t make your pace wrong.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Needing to be the best can help you break records and push limitations.

It can also create the kind of tunnel vision that stops you seeing the bigger picture. Be mindful of the feelings of those around you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It’s not always easy to let go of the baggage. The current nugget of emotional dead weight you’re trying to drop might require more work. Celebrate your small steps.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Brainstorm. You’ll have a good sense, when all is said and done, what the best ideas really were.

Allowing yourself space to explore is crucial.

The elements will line up and you’ll do well.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s nothing quite so poignant as outgrowing your mentor, parent or teacher. This is what you’re facing now – the bittersweet goodbye to your wideeyed point of view.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re trying to go back, and yet there is no “back.” All your opinions are changing. What happened then will be coloured by what you now know, which is a lot more and better.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): If a partner is looking for reasons your relationship won’t work it’s a sign that it won’t. You’ll be blessed when heavy baggage leaves your life.

Man Utd revive campaign After successive Premier League defeats, Manchester United will hope to re-energise their faltering campaign and make up ground on the early pacesetters with victory at home to champions Leicester City this weekend. United already trail Pep Guardiola’s vibrant City by six points to sit in seventh place on the ladder. Manager Jose Mourinho has spoken about his new charges reacting badly to “negativity”, which some observers felt he increased with public criticism of defender Luke Shaw after the 3-1 defeat by Watford.

To sweep or not to sweep

BY DAVID LEGGAT New Zealand captain Kane Williamson hopes his team have scooped up enough information leading into the first test against India which started yesterday to present a resilient challenge for their hosts in Kanpur.

The match is being played in sweltering heat on a pitch bound to favour spin.

Williamson hopes his players don’t get paranoid about how much it might favour the home side.

“You do want to go into matches as educated as you can be to try and apply your plans,” the man rated third-best batsman in the test game said.

“That’s where it’s important

for experience among players to come into it.

“You do learn a lot in the first hour of a test match.

“It’s important you adapt quickly in those conditions to get the best out of them.”

New Zealand are chasing just their third win in India in 31 matches – the others were in 1969 at Nagpur and in 1988 at Mumbai.

One of the challenges for New Zealand’s batsmen is working out a game plan that suits.

The sweep shot is often seen as an outlet against spin but it’s not a stroke which suits all batsmen.

“It’s up to the individuals, some guys sweep more than the others,” Williamson, whose test

Kane Williamson average is 51.08, said.

“Another thing is that you tend to come to an overseas tour and often the overseas players are so used to their own conditions that you can learn a lot off them.

“And I suppose sweeping isn’t a big part of the Indian players’ batting.

“They have got great footwork, they get forward, they get back, they come down the wicket.

“So you can learn a lot from how they play spin but at the end of the day it’s up to individual players.”

Williamson pointed to the world T20 earlier this year in India where New Zealand reached the semi-finals taking turning challenging conditions, in which their bowlers did a sterling job, to their advantage.

“We have got some exciting young talent. We showed that in the T20 World Cup. “That was huge for us.

“Yes, the formats are different but I am hoping we can build on from those experiences.”

Astute use of the AFL’s rookie list continues to set Sydney apart from rivals. The Swans have made a mockery of the notion a club must bottom out, with this September representing their seventh consecutive finals series. With the exception of a 12th-place finish in 2009 they have contested at least one final for 14 straight years. It is a staggering record that is a result of their club culture, clever trading and a smooth coaching transition from Paul Roos to John Longmire.

Messi on the sidelines Lionel Messi will be out of action for three weeks after the Barcelona talisman suffered a groin injury in the La Liga champions’ 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid. The five-times world player of the year limped off in the second half of Barca’s match at the Nou Camp, moments before the visiting side equalised. “Leo Messi has torn the groin muscle in his right leg. He will be out of action for approximately three weeks,” Barcelona officials said in a statement.
