■■SPARROWS

Ponty’s boots march into history

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ponty Proctor could have the oldest boots in Ashburton stored in his wardrobe.

They might have been made 70 years ago, and they might no longer fit, but they’re in mint condition and prove that the boot makers of yesteryear knew a thing or two about making footwear that never wore out.

The soft leather boots were made in England and bought from Ashburton store, Sparrows.

They were Proctor’s best footwear as a three-year-old and, once outgrown, they were packed into storage by his mother.

“I know I got those when I was three and I have a photo of me wearing them,” Proctor said.

He knew his mother had kept the boots – along with locks of his baby hair and baby clothing – and when she moved into care he stored them away and forgot about them.

“I re-found them again when we shifted. They’re made out of pretty good leather,” he said.

His family has been a staunch supporter of Sparrows over the years. His grandfather bought his wedding suit from the business more than 100 years ago and

while the family does not have the suit, Proctor is the proud owner of a mantle clock the business gave to all wedding suit purchasers. It sits proudly on the mantelpiece in his home and still keeps perfect time.

Following that tradition, Proctor also bought his wedding suit from the business, a last minute panic purchase when the suit he’d ordered was the wrong size.

In the family’s hoarding tradition he still has that suit but it no longer fits.

“Something happens to your clothes when they go into a walkin wardrobe,” he said.

When he handed the leather boots over to Sparrow’s managing director Euan Sparrow, Proctor said he was surprised to discover that Sparrow knew the make and design.

“He was pretty pleased to get them and maybe this might bring a bit more stuff out of the woodwork.”

For Sparrow, the return of the 70-year-old boots means he’s one step closer to building up a good stock of old garments and footwear that tell his family’s story as clothing retailers for well over a century.

He’s hoping Proctor’s boots will

“We’ll be happy to receive any memorabilia. It doesn’t happen very often that we get things but

we are trying to collect items like this. We want to make sure things are preserved and we hope to get them on display in an appropriate place,” he said.

Those old items were the best way to tell the human story of his family business and the role it played in the life of the district, Sparrow said.

Falloon cynicalSizzling of Labour’s Facebook

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s two MPs have had completely opposite reactions to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s commitment to sign up to new Facebook rules.

Ardern announced on Thursday that the Labour Party will voluntarily sign up to the new rules which aim to crack down on fake news by letting users see who is behind paid online ads and who is being targeted.

Labour List MP based in Rangitata Jo Luxton will soon be among MPs having to sign up to the new rules, on her Jo Luxton MP page, and said she was

HUNDREDS OF TILES

proud of her party for taking the stand.

She echoed her leader’s sentiments that New Zealanders deserved a positive election, without negative fake-news style campaigns which had taken place overseas in recent years.

Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, of the National Party, avoided the question of whether he wanted to see his party follow suit, and was cynical of the Labour Party’s announcement.

“It’s telling that, on the same day as benefit numbers are released showing the number of people on the unemployment benefit is the highest it’s been in

nine years, that the Prime Minister makes an announcement about Facebook advertisements rather than on growing the economy,” Falloon said.

However, he pointed out that the Page Transparency facility available on all pages, including his Andrew Falloon MP for Rangitata page, makes his Facebook advertisements available to view on Facebook’s ad library.

“I place very few advertisement on Facebook so I use the default Facebook ad management tool which means they’re visible to anyone who wants to check,” Falloon said.

Facebook pages are for the

targeted. By being transparent about who is behind ads there is likely to be a flow-on effect of parties ensuring they are accurate too,” Ardern said.

The authorisation and transparency measures are compulsory in countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and the European Union.

It will take around two weeks to ensure Labour’s pages and staff are fully compliant. The Labour pages and the Prime Minister’s pages will roll the policy out first. Other MPs will follow once set up and staff are trained in how to use it.

likes of public figures and organisations and as such are different to Facebook profiles created by individuals to share information about themselves.

Luxton’s page currently shows no running ads, while Falloon has one running, on needing a four-lane highway from Christchurch to Ashburton.

Dairy owners to hit TV screens

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Allenton Dairy and Lotto owners Kunal and Divya Saluja are set to become TV famous as a documentary goes to air.

The couple are among hardworking faces behind the humble Kiwi dairy, and will star in The Changing Face of the New Zealand Dairy on Prime TV, 8.30pm, February 2.

The documentary is on the evolution of the dairy and the associated impact on Indian migrants looking to find their place in New Zealand.

Kunal is among dairy owners hailing from the Punjab people of India. They, and the Gujarat people, were among the first dairy owners in New Zealand as they immigrated here in the late 1800s to early 1900s, initially selling fruit and vegetables from wheelbarrows.

Producer/director Melanie Rakena brought her film crew to Allenton Dairy and Lotto one year ago.

She is now looking forward to airing the documentary, which delves into how something, that was a New Zealand icon, had come from an Indian base., “Dashing down to the local dairy has long been a Kiwi institution, even the term dairy is uniquely

ours,” she said.

Kunal said yesterday he was looking forward to watching the show.

“We are proud that they chose us as a dairy owner in Ashburton, to be premièred in a documentary,” he said.

He is also proud of his people’s association with the development of dairies in New Zealand, but he is himself a later arrival.

He came here in 2004 as an international student, and became a lecturer at the Waikato Institute of Technology in Hamilton, in accounting information systems. He branched out into service station management and dairy ownership in the North Island, before the much quieter life of Ashburton beckoned.

The Salujas have now operated Allenton Dairy and Lotto for fiveand-a-half years, where they revel in serving the surrounding community and treating their customers like royalty.

And while the face of dairy operation in New Zealand may well be changing, it is for the better at Allenton where business just keeps growing. Kunal put this down to offering good customer service and meeting demand for having the right products on the shelves.

Dairy operators Kunal and Divya Saluja were the subject of documentary makers’ attention last year, and now can’t wait to see the finished product.

Growing numbers locally connect to fibre

More than 5000 properties in Ashburton are now connected to ultra fast broadband.

The number of connections increased over the past year by 22 per cent, taking numbers to almost 5500. And not only are connection numbers growing, the amount of data used by each connection is also increasing, up 30 per cent over the past year.

Ashburton’s consumption has grown at double the national rate of 15 per cent, but the national average consumption, is significantly higher – 363G in December.

The busiest time of the year on the network was on October 20, during the Rugby World Cup quarter final when Wales played France. During that match

2.6 terabits of data per second were used, a 37 per cent increase on the 2018 high.

The increase was largely driven by streaming becoming the norm, Chorus Network strategy manger Kurt Rodgers said.

While the roll-out of fibre has been completed in Ashburton for some time, the laying of Methven’s fibre network will only begin next month. It is anticipated to be completed by August.

Power poles – going, going, gone

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Undergrounding overhead power lines is a huge project but it’s one that will have double benefits – a more robust electricity network and safer roads for road users.

As part of a joint venture between Ashburton electricity co-operative EA Networks and NZ Transport Agency, the last section of state highway power poles and overhead lines between Ashburton and Rakaia were removed this week, completing a project that began in 2016.

Safety for road users and reliability of the electricity network in storm and high wind situations were the drivers for the undergrounding work, said John Keenan, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Maintenance Contract Manager.

“The removal of the electricity poles creates a safer road side in the event of any loss of control or run off the road crash situation.

In open road, high speed areas,

any such crash can result in a death or serious injury outcome for vehicle occupants,” he said.

Until last year NZTA’s safety programme funding allowed it to provide a contribution to EA Networks to assist in the high costs of the resilience project and the organisation continues to seek funds to keep contributing to ongoing resilience and safety improvement work, Keenan said.

EA Networks was committed to improving public safety of its networks as well as improving the reliability of supply to its customers, EA Networks network manager Brendon Quinn said.

“Removing poles on the roading networks reduces deaths and injuries from car crashes as well as making our network more resilient to extreme weather events such as snow, wind, falling trees and debris being blown into the overhead lines.”

Completion of the 30 kilometres of State Highway 1 between Ashburton and the Rakaia bridge was a major mile-

In brief Crash on main road Traffic was disrupted on West Street on Thursday night after multiple vehicles were involved in a nose-to-tail crash. Emergency services were alerted to the crash just after 5pm on Thursday. A police spokesperson said there were two vehicles involved in the crash, though Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Alan Burgess said it appeared three vehicles had been involved. St John spokesman Gerard Campbell said two ambulances attended, treating three patients at the scene for minor injuries.

Auckland airport woes

A joint venture between EA Networks and NZ Transport Agency is under way to underground power lines along State Highway 1 north of Ashburton.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 230120-SN-0026 stone, he said.

In addition to this stretch of the state highway, during the coming year EA Networks would remove a further 4.1 kilometres of poles from the state Highway between Ashburton and the Rangitata Bridge. When this is completed the 66 kilometre stretch of highway from Rakaia to the Rangitata River will be made pole free,

Quinn said.

Another area to benefit from the overhead power line replacement programme has been State Highway 77, from Methven to the Rakaia Gorge. Work in this area is ongoing with 25.2 kilometres of the 54 kilometre route completed and an additional 5.2 kilometres of poles to be removed this year.

Improvements planned for Methven water supply

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Methven’s keen gardeners might be fed up with this summer’s tight hosing restrictions, but improvements to the village’s water supply are on the horizon.

Gardens can currently only be watered by hand-held hoses from 6pm to midnight, on alternate days of the week, according to property numbers, but Ashburton District Council service delivery manager Neil McCann said the council is in the process of looking at long-term options to improve the town’s water supply.

“This is definitely on our radar, it’s the area we’ve identified as needing a complete review of options going forward. Council is definitely aware of this”, he said.

Supply improvement options were worked through with consultants last year and the council was now looking at a range of proposals, McCann said.

“Methven is growing and we’re very aware of this and we’re planning for it. The fix won’t be overnight but the council is planning long-term, we’re doing as much as we can. It’ll be very expensive but it will be very worthwhile.”

Complete Local Care Since 1982

A report on options for improving Methven’s town water supply will be discussed at a council workshop in the coming weeks.

Household water supply improvements would not just be limited to Methven in the council’s long-term plan, McCann said.

Mt Somers was also high on the list of supplies that needed improvements and its intake supply was currently being supplemented by a small bore. The village is on a boil water notice but water restriction have been downgraded to level four – that means residents can now use a bucket or

watering can to water their gardens. Hoses and sprinklers are not allowed.

“People in Mt Somers need to be very careful with water,” he said.

Ashburton has undergone supply improvements in recent years and there is now capacity for urban growth, but hosing restrictions at level one – alternate days – are still in place as consumption has been very high on some days, McCann said.

“We’re comfortable with where we are at the moment with Ashburton.”

Flights were held in the air or diverted after Auckland Airport suddenly closed its runway for a patch-up when debris was found yesterday. The airport was releasing few details of the work required, a spokesman said it was closed briefly today following the identification of FOD (foreign object debris) and the need to carry out a small patch repair.

“This was ‘standard practice’ at airfields around the world, and the work took about 20 minutes to – NZME complete”, he said.

Locals ‘winner a visitor’ Mackenzie District mayor Graham Smith said it had been fantastic to see one of the little towns in Mackenzie sell a big winning Lotto ticket. He believed the winner was probably somebody from out of town. “It would have been pretty hard for a local to have kept it real quiet but you just don’t know,” he said. “All I can say as mayor is well done and I wish them all the very best.” While it was a life-changing sum, and should be managed as such, he hoped the winner also knew that money was not everything in life.

Picton port evacuated The port at Picton, including the ferry terminals and the surrounding industrial area, were evacuated due to a gas leak yesterday morning. KiwiRail has confirmed an LPG gas leak was detected on a train wagon in a yard at the port soon after 6am.

Disabled boy gets just $4 a day for food NZME A profoundly disabled teenage boy gets just $4 a day for food, less than prisoners in a police cell.

The government funding through the Ministry of Health is part of Eamon Marshall’s daily rate of $9.11 for food and laundry.

Father Glenn Marshall estimates Eamon, who was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis, cerebral palsy, severe epilepsy, visual impairment and intellectual disability at 6 months old, uses up to $5 each day in laundering.

“It is not uncommon for Eamon to go through two-three changes of clothes each day, plus he goes through several bandannas a day with his dribbling,” Marshall said.

“His sheets are also changed two-three times per week. So his laundry part of food/ laundering would be at least $4-$5.”

It leaves 17-year-old Eamon with little more than $4 each day for all food at the residential care home he lives at in the Hawke’s Bay. Figures released to Marshall from the New Zealand Police under the Official Information Act show a person detained in police custody overnight attracts funding of $10.25 for dinner and breakfast and $3.25 for laundry.

By comparison the New Zealand Defence Force said its budget guide for daily food costs was $20.32 alone for Navy personnel on ships.

Marshall said he was dismayed at the low cost allocated to disabled people for food.

“In my view it is a poor reflection on the government that it is prepared to fund food for disability persons at a lower rate than it is prepared to fund a prisoner in a police cell.

“For many of those disabled people a nice meal is one of the few highlights in their day.”

A 2018 New Zealand Food Cost survey by the University of Otago put the average cost of healthy food for an adolescent boy at $74 per week.

Eamon gets $63.80 for food and laundry, making his diet “extremely limited”.

Marshall said he and his wife Fran, who visit their youngest child most nights, regularly take him low-sugar home baking.

The couple made the heartbreaking decision to give up care of Eamon when he was 18 months old because of his high and complex needs.

They have fought for his rights and the rights of the disabled community since.

“This is a human rights issue. They’re just getting left behind.

“It’s not just about nutrition but it’s about taste. For such a small amount of extra money you could provide such a profound difference to their life.”

In a response to Marshall’s questions about funding for Eamon’s food, the ministry’s head of disability Adri Isbister, said laundry and food costs were minimal in the context of overall residential funding and were shared across the number of people in the home.

When asked by Marshall why the ministry did not separate out food and laundering costs, she said Disability Support Services did not fund providers at “this detailed level of assessed need”.

When asked if the ministry would be happy for one of their family members to be funded $4 per day for food, Isbister said the provider was responsible for delivering appropriate and quality service within the overall funding envelope.

Youth to represent our district Five young people will become key players in Ashburton’s international partnership programmes.

Mary Bernarte, Jasaiah Claydon-Wade, Marc Juntilla, Jade Kruger and Fylgia Romero are the district’s new Global Ambassadors and will have an opportunity to gain practical experience and make valuable connections to kick-start their future in international relations.

Their first assignment will be to assist the Welcoming Communities programme in its support of the Holi Festival of Colours hosted by the Ashburton Indian Multicultural Charitable Trust on February 15.

Another important project the ambassadors will get to be involved in is the upcoming national Sister Cities Conference happening in Ashburton in April this year.

The theme for the conference is, Growing cultural diversity in the regions.

The ambassadors were officially welcomed into their role on Monday by Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown.

The five appointees had a very exciting year ahead as they worked to improve international relationships and took part in high quality workshops and training, he said.

“I’m sure they’ll do very well representing our district to the international community here and beyond, and I wish them all the very best for a great year of professional development.

“They have a chance to make

Economic development did not just depend on gross domestic product growth; diversity and prosperity were equally important factors in the community’s wellbeing, Brown said.

“The Global Ambassadors Pro-

Throughout the year, the ambassadors will attend workshops on topics such as Te Tiriti o Waitangi, te reo Maori, cultural competence, international relations and communications. They

will also be connected with people in politics and will get to participate in planned activities for five hours a month.

At the end of the 12-month programme, each ambassador will receive a certificate of completion.

Giving the gift of yoga to the community

By Sue Newman

It’s Annie Hunt’s mission in life to demystify yoga, to encourage people to understand that it’s a nactivity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and all levels of fitness and flexibility.

And each year she holds two

yoga classes to do just that. Hunt calls them her koha yoga sessions, her opportunity to give back to the community that supports her year round.

One community class has been held, but the second in the twoclass series will be held on Monday at 6pm in the Sinclair Centre.

NZ has overinvested in roads and motorways for decades.

- Phil Twyford, Minister of Transport.

“Every January I gift the community two free yoga classes and all I ask is donations to cover the cost of the hall,” she said.

Hunt is a qualified Anusara yoga teacher and massage therapist and by day is a clinical social worker.

Yoga is suitable for anyone of

of any age and while a donation is appreciated, there is no requirement to give.

Participants are asked to bring a mat and to wear comfortable clothes. She recommends participants arrive early to ensure they are ready for the class to begin at 6pm.

Tell the Government to fund a four lane highway from Christchurch to Ashburton Not long after the last election the Government cut more than $5 billion from the state highway network to instead spend on rail and cycle projects in Auckland. It’s left less money available for important upgrades to our local highways. Now the Government have announced plans to borrow $19 billion, with $6.8 billion earmarked for rail and road projects. It represents an opportunity to send a message to the Government that the road to Christchurch, the second most dangerous stretch of highway in New Zealand for fatalities and serious crashes, needs upgrading to four lanes to make it safer.

Coronavirus may impact market

It had lost ground against the Aussie Thursday after better-than-expected jobs numbers across the Tasman reduced the chances of a rate cut there next month.

The Kiwi also got a lift against the euro after the European Central Bank left rates unchanged – as expected – but announced a strategic review of its monetary policy objectives, the second in 20 years.

“It will be a whole host of things.

It will have to do with how we deliver, how we measure what tools we have and how we communicate,” ECB President Christine Lagarde told a press conference.

Lagarde said climate change would be “an important matter” for the review to examine.

She also said risks to the bank’s growth outlook remained “tilted to the downside” which saw traders pare back expectations of a rate rise next year.

The Kiwi was trading at 59.68 euro cents from 59.43 cents.

The domestic inflation data, however, will be the main focus.

The median forecast among economists polled by Bloomberg is for annual inflation to be 1.8 per cent, above the central bank’s 1.6 per cent forecast.

omists have also pointed to Jetstar’s retreat from some regional services as a driver for higher domestic ticket prices.

International airfares climbed 9.3 per cent in the December quarter, driven by a seasonal increase. Prices fell in 2019 as a while however, continuing a trend which has seen international airfares, as measured in the CPI, fall by about 20 per cent since 2014.

Petrol prices also rose 1.6 per cent in the December quarter, but were down 0.8 per cent for 2019 as a whole. In the South Island prices fell in the December quarter, especially in Canterbury, down 3.6 per cent.

While rising inflation eats into household spending power, the latest news is likely to be welcome news for the Reserve Bank, which is tasked both with controlling inflation and maximising sustainable employment.

The central bank is meant to keep inflation as close as possible to the mid-point of a 1-3 per cent inflation band. While inflation has stayed consistently above 1 per cent in recent years, only in one quarter since

2012 has it reached 2 per cent.

Friday’s inflation release was marginally stronger than bank economists were expecting and ahead of the 1.6 per cent the Reserve Bank was expecting in its last major forecasts from November.

Increasingly financial markets have been suggesting the odds that Reserve Bank will have to lower interest rates to stimulate inflation this year are dropping.

ANZ economist Mile Workman said yesterday’s release should hit 2 per cent this year, but was not likely to be concerning for the Reserve Bank.

“We think economic activity is poised to gradually accelerate over the year ahead and grow around trend over the medium term, with resurgence in the housing market, improving business sentiment and the promise of a little extra government spending on key infrastructure all supporting,” Workman said.

“Unless something untoward happens, we think the RBNZ will keep the [official cash rate] at its current, stimulatory, level of 1 per cent for the foreseeable future.”

Rents rose at the fastest pace in more than a decade in 2019, official figures show, amid strong demand and new rules for accommodation.

Statistics New Zealand said the rental component of the consumer price index (CPI) jumped 0.8 per cent in the final three months of 2019 and 3.1 per cent for the year.

This was the largest annual jump since 2008.

Statistics NZ said the rise was likely caused by strong demand as well as new rental standards for landlords.

“The rise in rent prices is likely to reflect the high demand for rental properties in parts of the country,” Statistics NZ pricing manager Paul Pascoe said.

“Another factor was the Healthy Homes Standards introduced in July 2019. Some landlords have upgraded their properties in order to meet the new standards and may have passed on the costs to the tenants.”

Wellington’s rental shortage has gained attention recently, but the biggest increase was actually in the North Island excluding Wellington and Auckland, where annual rents rose 4.9 per cent.

Rents in Wellington increased 4.5 per cent in 2019, by 1.9 per cent in Auckland and 1.3 per cent Canterbury.

Combined with increases in petrol prices and airfares, household inflation rose by 0.5 per cent in the quarter, pushing annual inflation to 1.9 per cent, the highest in more than a year.

Domestic airfares climbed 12 per cent in the December quarter, part of which was a seasonal increase around the summer holidays. Econ-

The local stock market may follow Wall Street lower amid concerns the coronavirus outbreak may slow China’s economy.

China put millions of people on lockdown on Thursday in two cities at the epicentre of the outbreak which has killed 18 people and infected more than 630.

Most transport in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people, was suspended on Thursday and people were told not to leave.

Hours later, neighbouring Huanggang, a city of about seven million people, announced a similar lockdown.

In New Zealand, the government triggered its official pandemic response plan and travellers at the New Zealand border are being notified of health precautions in English, Mandarin and simplified Chinese signage.

Further steps are available if, and when, required.

The news will likely see further slippage in the number of Chinese tourists traveling to New Zealand.

Data Thursday showed there were 408,300 arrivals in New Zealand last year from China, down

From P11 Downstairs the kitchen is a chef’s dream.

It is large and with the owners both keen cooks, it has sufficient bench space for two. It offers two wall ovens, an induction hob and has an engineered stone bench top.

The open plan living area sees the kitchen flow into a sunny dining area and a spacious living room that opens through to a sheltered, glass pergola covered outdoor dining area.

Cavity sliders separate the living area from the formal lounge. This is heated by a gas fire and opens out to its own secluded deck.

The lower level is heated by a floor mounted heat pump and a wall mounted hall heater.

Downstairs offers a master bedroom complete with very large walk-through wardrobe and an ensuite that includes spa bath, shower and a sensor wash toilet.

The home’s fourth bedroom is also downstairs and while the current owners use this as an office, it has a large wardrobe and could easily accommodate two single beds.

The property has a separate guest toilet downstairs and a spacious, separate laundry that opens to the rear yard.

The garage provides parking spaces for three vehicles and offers a drive through option to the backyard. There is also loft storage above the garage, accessed by a pull-down ladder.

The home has been designed to create a second level area that is self-contained.

There are two generous bedrooms with excellent wardrobes. They share a Jack and Jill bathroom.

A third living area has been built on the second level and this comes complete with a cupboard enclosed kitchenette and its own private balcony. Views of the mountains from the upper level create a feeling of openness and space.

The current owners use this as quiet retreat but the entire second level would be ideal for teenagers, guests who wanted some independence or as an Airbnb opportunity.

The property was designed and built by local tradesmen and while the owners had already built several homes, they say when completed it exceeded their expectations both in quality and as a place to live and call home.

With an interior colour scheme of pale grey and white, the home provides a blank canvas on which new owners can create their own special place – modern, eclectic or traditional – it is a home that will suit all furniture and furnishing styles.

This very special Wills Street home is sited on an 822 square metre section. It is located just a short walk from town and is very close to the Ashburton Domain. It is well fenced to ensure maximum privacy.

It is for sale by negotiation, with viewing by appointment only, with agents First National.

Above – The Wills Street property offers a perfect place for couples to cook with spacious benchtops and a great layout.

Guardian sub-editor Steve Devereux was recently on a family road trip in the deep south.

On their travels they ‘discovered’ the National Transport and Toy Museum.

I

It’s a tank. Yes, every self-respecting toy collection should have a 44-tonne Centurion tank sitting in the yard.

t’s a bit far for a day trip.

But if you happen to be cruising down Central Otago way, and you’re heading into Wanaka, you can’t help but spot the massive complex that is the National Transport and Toy Museum.

Can’t miss it; it’s just past the Wanaka Airport, home of the rightly world famous Warbirds Over Wanaka.

And the official, almost officious-sounding title?

Don’t let that put you off, at all.

This is a hidden gem of the finest magnitude, and when you reach the counter and the nice lady says “$19 each plus a couple of bucks for the kids”, do not flinch and say you’ve already spent too much on this holiday; this is an opportunity to visit a genuine national treasure.

It helps, of course, that you’re already in an area pretty much entirely disposed to holiday enjoyment, things like getting lost in the maze (unless you know The Secret), swimming in the beautiful Lake Wanaka and just swanning about in the lake’s spectacular surroundings, or feasting on the delights available at the myriad of orchards that the whole area is justly renowned for.

Stopping to pick up a punnet of perfect boysenberries, as big as apples and with an exquisite taste sensation to match, is part of the Central road trip experience.

is, and preferably you’ve left a few hours of one of your precious holidays to take the time to appreciate it properly.

In fact, if you’re remotely into this sort of stuff, set aside a whole day.

There’s so much there, it’s hard to know where to start.

In one of the four massive Warehouse-sized sheds there’s a rickety old Air New Zealand plane you can get into and imagine you’re off to some magic

destination, although you might be a little dubious about its ability to stay off the ground.

The plane is surrounded, like everything seems to be, with hundreds of vehicles of all shapes, sizes and purposes.

The blurb claims there’s over 600 wheeled vehicles, 20 aircraft (civilian and military), a hundred motorbikes and scooters, fire engines, trucks, jeeps, racing cars and boats.

These are crammed tight into the hangar/sheds, sometimes you can’t squeeze between them, some are restored to pristine condition and some,

well, aren’t. Presumably there’s some plan to eventually get them all into shape, but I can’t actually imagine how, it would take years.

And around the vehicles, covering acres of wall-space, is all the other stuff.

Thousands of miscellaneous items, musical instruments, clocks, ancient kitchen stuff, typewriters, ornate cash registers, sewing machines, clothing fashions, gadgets of all descriptions – and toys. Sixty thousand of them.

Remember your childhood toys?

They’re here. All of them.

Meccano constructions that must have taken years to build, and its successor Lego. Somebody has far, far too much time on their hands.

Teddy bears, and dolls.

Lots and lots of dolls. Most of the Barbie population appears to be on permanent holiday in Wanaka.

Train sets that go on batteries, train sets that are clockwork.

Toy cars and trucks – a vast array.

And endless other stuff, so much that the brain cannot retain what it all was, so I had to take a few pictures.

There’s some pedal cars on the grounds, if you’re sick of walking and walking and walking, and a nice little cafe at the end of it all.

Also the inevitable shop full of brand new toys for your children to hound you into spending a couple more dollars, but if you’re staunch enough you can leave that bit out.

Anyway, by that time you’re exhausted, shattered by the sheer volume of what you’ve seen, and busy making plans to return, when you have a lot more available exploration time.

OUR VIEW

Water, water everywhere, but not to use W

ater, it’s a bit of a precious commodity in this part of the world at the moment.

Pound for pound, to be fair, it probably takes up as much column space as most subjects in the district when you sit down and think about it, especially over the past 12 months – thanks in part to the government’s freshwater proposal, which really got people hot under the collar and of course, issues with the Rangitata River flooding in December last year.

But the latest issues aren’t about cleanliness or too much of the good stuff, but instead, too little with heavy watering restrictions impacting on many parts of the district and the dis-

tinct threat of more joining the dry party as the mercury rises and things get even drier.

Mt Somers has a water issue, exactly what it is is still unclear other than that there just isn’t enough, and Methven and Chertsey have had their restrictions ramped right up this week too as their supplies dwindle.

Ashburton District Council have told us there are plans in the pipeline to improve

the systems in places, which you would imagine will have provisions for more storage of water, but you’d be forgiven for wondering if the horse might have already bolted, in some sense.

A place like Methven is a perfect example.

It’s growing, it’s population is expanding and each year the town boundaries extend a little further in all four directions, with new subdivisions and buildings going up at a rapid rate.

And it’s only going to get bigger.

With the hot pools complex underway and a projected completion time of under a year – holiday houses and the prop-

erty market in the often sleepy summer town will prosper.

Three big subdivision projects, all within walking distance of the hot pools complex, are either well under way, in their early stages or in the pipeline and, if all three go hell for leather once things are up and running, then the demand on the water supply in the town is only going to get greater.

One of the major issues, and without doubt a factor in lowering water levels, is that almost all new builds need new grass and in order to grow grass, you’ve got to pile the water onto it and prior to the restrictions going into place, a casual walk around the township, particularly in the north-east of the

township, would find multiple homes watering like crazy for multiple hours per night.

It’s just what you have to do and it’s a whole lot easier to chuck the sprinkler on and forget about things for a couple of hours than it is to stand out there, hose in hand, and do it manually.

You’d hope that the plans in place to try and stem some of these water issues from happening every time things get a little hot during the summer might be quicker coming many will be hoping.

It’s a bit of a necessity of life is water and the prospect of running the well dry is one which most people won’t want to even have to think about.

The truth will out

N

ine fifty-five am, Monday January 20, 2020, somewhere on Oceanview Drive, Mt Maunganui, Tauranga.

A frantic Paul Goldsmith is hammering on the door of a substantial home, still heaving from the 50 metre dash up the driveway because the diplomatic protection squad wouldn’t let him bring the crown car in.

These were dangerous political times that had just got even darker.

Eventually, the leader of the opposition opens the door. Paul catches a glimpse of a drum kit in the corner next to a karaoke machine. Above it hangs a photo of Simon and Duncan Garner.

“Simon! Simon, we have a problem, a big, BIG problem!”

“Sorry, who are you?” Simon asks casually, after all it was the middle of the school holidays and if it was good enough for school principals not to be up, it was good enough for him to still be in casual mode.

“It’s me, Paul – I’m from the Epsom office.”

“But we didn’t win Epsom, we gave it to the guy who lost dancing with the stars”, replies Simon.

“I know, I live that reality every day, I’m the eternal political bridesmaid.”

“Congratulations Paul, I didn’t know you were getting married again.”

“What? No ... look we a problem, last night someone broke into the office and stole some laptops, National Party laptops, but not mine so I’m hoping you

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

will know what’s on them and if it is sensitive information.

I think it’s a political attack, I think …”

“Okay, okay, calm down Paul, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. I can check what was on them, I can access copies of all the back-ups, come in while I check.”

Paul sits down next to a coffee table with photos on it.

One of them is of Simon and Andrew (known as Four Lane Falloon amongst his colleagues), in their earlier days as kids. They are playing in a sandpit and Andrew is driving a toy grader, making big wide roads in the sand.

Simon comes back with his face the colour of a Stewart Island tan, Paul knows something is now really wrong.

“What is it, what’s wrong, is there information about JamieLee Ross on there?”

“No, it’s worse, they have a copy of the Ashvegas Strategy.

This could be bigger than a Shane Jones feed on Waitangi Day.” “What’s the Ashvegas Strategy?

I’ve never heard it.”

“That’s because you’re a list MP, not cabinet, but seeing as this will probably go public, I

might as well tell you.”

Simon begins to explain the Ashvegas Strategy, the most wellkept secret of the National Party until now.

“Back when Jenny was in Ashburton, she came up with the most audacious long-term strategy to keep the National Party winning votes. It was named after the town she was in. The key to the strategy is subtle mind manipulation of voters through actions that could not be directly linked back to National.”

Paul looked confused, so Simon explained by turning his own laptop around.

“Have a look at the National Party logo, a large white letter, on a blue background. Now look at the logo for a newspaper in Ashvegas, a large letter, it’s white, on a blue background.”

Paul was stunned – “We own the newspaper?!”

“No, we don’t own it, but we condition the readers that when they get to vote, they tick the box with a large white letter on a blue background because it reminds them of their own newspaper.”

“Now, take a look at one of the next articles coming out, about the Horticultural Society.”

Paul quickly reads about a group of seniors who go about giving out awards to good looking gardens in Ashburton, he then looks very confused, so Simon explains.

“Who has the time to have a great looking garden – old people right. Who do old people vote for – Winston right, and

who began their career in National – Winston. So, when the older people get these garden awards, it conditions them to think of us, but not directly, so we can’t be blamed!”

Paul sat in awe of the brilliance of the strategy, but Simon wasn’t finished.

“Do you remember when Judge Judy got in trouble with her visits to China?”

“Do you mean Judith Collins – is that her nickname, Judge Judy?” Paul asks.

“Look don’t tell her I said that,” Simon replies.

“Anyway, everyone thought it was a disaster for National, but the reality was that it drove up shares in Fonterra and who owns those shares – farmers. And who do farmers vote for – National.”

“So, you see Paul, we need to get those laptops back, this could be explosive if it got out.

You do this for me, and I’ll make sure we fund a proper campaign in Epsom for you.”

Paul knew this was an opportunity to make it big, to finally no longer be the bridesmaid to that skinny legged dancing Seymour.

He would be finally remembered for something other than that dumb idea to write that Don Brash biography.

■■AUSTRALIA

Koala plan slammed A UK businessman who has proposed selling koala fur to raise money for the bushfire-affected marsupial, has been labelled “sick” after making his pitch on TV. Ryan-Mark Parsons, who was a contestant on The Apprentice, launched his controversial plan on Good Morning Britain on Thursday.

Half a billion animals are estimated to have died in bushfires in the last few months, with koala populations among the worst hit.

Parsons has proposed the pelts of dead koalas could be sold in high-end retailers such as Harrods to fundraise for the animal.

“The idea of this is to raise money for the charities,” he said.

“Now it is very unfortunate, I completely agree what has happened in Australia is utterly devastating, and as a result the koalas have died.

“But the animals are dead and if we can use the fur to raise money, to save the other animals I don’t see why that’s an issue.”

But Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid slammed the idea, labelling Parson’s plan “sick”.

“We’re there watching these terrible scenes on our screens, these poor creatures suffering and dying in these bushfires,” she said.

“And now you’re saying, ‘let’s use their fur’.

“It’s kind of a sick idea, isn’t it?”

“Well, I don’t think it’s a sick idea because you have to take into account that the purpose of this is to raise money for the injured animals in the rescue centres,” Parsons hit back.

“I am not going on this debate saying we need to slaughter koalas.

“In fact I love koalas, if there was a koala here I’d hug a koala.”

However people weren’t buying Parsons’ idea, slamming it as “disgusting” and “ridiculous”.

According to the Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) there are less than 100,000 koalas left in the wild and the population could be in fact as low as 43,000.

If Australia’s koala popula-

Jen fabulous at 50 After Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s interaction at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, two questions broke the internet. “Does this interaction mean more?” and “How is Aniston 50 years old?” Aniston, who won best actress in TV drama series at the SAG awards, arguably looks exactly as she did 25 years go – and she has a strict regime to thank for it. The New York Post got in contact with the actress’s facialist, Toska Husted, who charges $600 for a standard facial. Husted admitted that despite giving her a regular pamper day at the spa, she doesn’t need much help.

“She has genetically beautiful, strong skin, which she maintains by being very diligent with her skin-care routine.”

Oprah supporting Megzit Oprah Winfrey supports the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to step out of royal life “1000 per cent”. The 65-yearold media mogul, who was a guest at the couple’s wedding in May 2018, insisted the couple had clearly taken a lot of time to think about forging a new life for themselves. She thought they deserved to be backed for making the move, as it was such a huge choice for Prince Harry in particular.

Koala bear numbers in the wild may be down to 43,000. tion falls below 50,000 it would be “functionally extinct”, the AKF said.

However koala expert Dr Alistair Melzer from Central Queensland University told news.com.au earlier this month some bushfire-affected koala habitats were already recovering.

But they will need to adapt

to their changed surroundings in order to thrive once again.

“We have already received accounts of healthy koalas surviving the fires in the Carnarvon Ranges in Central Queensland and in some northern New South Wales forests,” he said.

“Those surviving koalas will have to adapt in these areas –

will they find enough food resources? Koalas are dependent on eucalypt for both food and water.

“With the prolonged drought and heat and now these bushfires the quality of that foliage will go down, which may limit the availability of water, and the nutrient content of the foliage.”

■■CHINA

Chilling coronavirus warning; cities locked down China’s National Health Commission says the number of cases of a new respiratory virus has risen to 830 with 25 deaths.

The update yesterday also confirmed the first death outside the central province of Hubei.

The health commission in Hebei, a northern province

bordering Beijing, said an 80-year-old man died after showing symptoms upon his return from a two-month stay in Wuhan to see relatives.

Wuhan is the capital of Hubei and has been the epicenter of the outbreak of the coronavirus first detected last month.

The respiratory virus has

claimed two dozen lives since emerging from a seafood and animal market in Wuhan, and been detected as far away as the United States.

The deadly virus claimed its first victim outside the epicentre of the outbreak, with authorities reporting a death in Hebei province, near Beijing.

Yi Guan, a prominent virologist, warned the virus showed signs of being far worse than severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) after travelling to Wuhan.

“Conservative estimates suggest that the scale of infection may eventually be 10 times higher than SARS,” he said.

Enthusiasm still uncurbed Because its fate rests on the whims of creator Larry David, the return of Curb Your Enthusiasm always feels like a big deal. Kind of amusing considering the show focuses so tightly on the smallest of slights and the most banal of trivialities. David’s obsession with cultural norms and the way things are supposed to work has not only driven Curb for an astonishing 20 years now, but also powered Seinfeld , the best sitcom of the 90s, which he co-created with Jerry Seinfeld. After only one episode it’s far too early to call how the season will play out but so far it’s looking pretty, pretty, pretty good.

orty years ago it was a wilderness area, home to Ashburton’s rubbish dump, and well used by kids during long hot summer holidays as a place to play and ride bikes.

But today, Ashburton’s Riverside Industrial Park is a place of thriving businesses, with some of those who call the park

home, having been its original tenants, others are newcomers, but all share a work environment that comes with big benefits.

Riverside is as close to town as it’s possible for a business park to be and yet it is a place of business that has its own special character.

It was born out of what was then the Ashburton Borough Council’s desire to create an area that would attract new businesses to the district but would also provide a central option for existing businesses wanting to relocate and expand.

It also had the benefit of concentrating industry in one

The Animal Guardian The world can be a big and scary place.

For a tiny, vulnerable and sick kitten it can be even more terrifying when you are left to face it alone. Sadly, we see far too many animals left in frightening situations.

This was the reality for little Hudson.

When SPCA staff met little Hudson they were shocked. He was absolutely tiny, in a poor state and his fur was crawling with hundreds of fleas. At only a few weeks old, he should have been cuddling up with his mother. Instead, Hudson was fighting for his life.

Luckily Hudson was brought to SPCA in the nick of time. He was fed, bathed and nursed back to health by our dedicated team.

It wasn’t long before Hudson was ready to find a home. It’s no surprise that his lovely kitten was quickly adopted by a devoted family.

Without heroes like you, animals like Hudson wouldn’t know safety, love and warmth.

TEST YOURSELF

The Centre of New Zealand Monument, in the Botanic Reserve, on Botanical Hill, Nelson.

In the 1870s, a geodetic survey (which uses a triangulation method, that results in the curvature of the earth being taken into account) was commenced, to connect up numerous surveys previously completed in isolation around the country.

John Spence Browning was selected because he was the only person in New Zealand with the necessary experience to undertake the job. He was located in Nelson, where he was the chief surveyor.

He proceeded by using the summit of the Botanical Hill for the apex of his first set of triangles (the base line used for the first triangle is Rutherford Street, between Examiner St and Haven Rd) before then moving southwards to the West Coast.

Later on, his survey was then linked to surveys that had been completed in Canterbury.

COURT COMBAT RESUMES

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s A Grade interclub competition returns to the courts today after the holiday break and one side in particular will be out to pick up where they left off prior to Christmas.

Fairton will start the new year as the top side after two rounds of play in the second round of the competition and they will take on the only other unbeaten side through the two days of

play thus far, Southern, on court today.

In an even match-up the pressure may go on from the outset, with both sides boasting some strong players across the board who are capable of beating anyone else on any given day.

A potentially mouth-watering clash could kick start the season with Sam Bubb playing for Southern and Diego Quispe-Kim for Fairton.

clash between the two sides back in a round one – a match which Southern won comprehensively.

Bubb hasn’t been beaten in a singles game during the interclub season and will be out to do that today, although he could arguably face his toughest challenge in Quispe-Kim. As the winners of round one of the competition, the pressure will

go on Southern to kick-start 2020 in the right fashion and get some valuable points on the board from the outset.

Methven, who currently sit second on the points ladder courtesy of a 9-0 victory over Dorie in the final round before the break, will tackle Hampstead today in what should be a very even clash, while the other match of the day

sees Allenton and Dorie squaring off.

With the Gala Cup Mixed Doubles coming up in just a couple of weeks’ time, the return of the interclub season will have been welcomed by many players looking to get some time on the courts under the belt before the prestigious mixed doubles event rolls around.

■■CRICKET

Stags out to roar once again

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

With five rounds of play remaining before the end of the normal season, it would take a massive disaster for the Tech Stags’ hold on the Canterbury Country Cricket competition to come to an end.

Unbeaten throughout the season, the newcomers to the competition have been dominant and have barely raised a sweat on their march to an unbeaten season, but will be conscious of the only side in the competition to sit anywhere near them on the points table this weekend when they trek over to Tai Tapu.

There waiting for them will be Peninsula Harbour who have been the other form team of the competition, winning four of their seven matches in the southern branch of the competition and both of their cross-over matches against northern rivals during the season thus far.

Peninsula Harbour won’t have fond memories of the last time the two sides met however when they were rolled for less than 50, chasing down a target of 200.

That match was in Ashburton but this time around it’s on home turf and the locals will be out to

put on a show for their supporters.

Last week Tech called on a few senior heads to fill in gaps in their side, with Lauriston’s Rob Hooper and Nick Gilbert both stepping in.

Whether they are required again to play today remains to be seen, but it’s shown that even without their usual squad – due to the lack of a Mid Canterbury Saturday senior competition – only strengthens their reserves.

Other notable players from around the district to play for the side this season are Bevan Richan and also Richard Print.

It’s not quite as easy for fellow competition side, Allenton.

Newcomers to not only the Canterbury Country scene but also Mid Canterbury cricket in general, they’ve put together a solid record in their first foray and have shown that they possess players capable of turning any game on it’s head.

Today they head to the Weedon’s Cricket Club and will be hoping to get things back on track after a loss last week.

Meanwhile, Methven and Lauriston enhanced their hopes of success in the inaugural 18-over Wednesday competition when

Bevan Richan has been a regular face in the Tech Stags side this season.

they won each of their top section clashes.

Methven posted 138/6 in their 18 overs against the Allenton Wanderers and were able to roll their rivals for 115 in the 17th over.

48 from Luc Rodwell and 40 from Davey Maw played big roles

in the Methven side reaching their target, while Rodwell then did the damager with the ball too, taking 3-20 off his four overs.

Recent Hawke Cup debutants, Angus Jemmett (60 not out) and Devon Flannery (34), scored the majority of the Wanderers’ runs.

Lauriston hosted Progressive

Livestock and batted first, scoring 130 and needing only three batsmen to do so.

Bevan Richard finished with an unbeaten 50 after opening the batting with Rob Hooper (40), while Hooper’s son Alex strode out at first-drop to chip in with 27 not out off just 13 balls.

At 44-6 the Allenton run chase looked forlorn, but a blistering 62 from Manpreet Singh threatened to turn the game on it’s head, before he was the last wicket to fall with just two balls remaining.

In the bottom section the all-Coldstream affair was a success for the Kings side, posting an imposing 195/4 off their 18 overs.

A 185-run opening stand between Navan Jakhar and Harry Stanway did most of the damage before Stanway fell for 54.

Jakhar eventually retired for an unbeaten 105 in a 47-ball run innings which featured 10 fours and seven sixes.

In reply the Coldstream Old Boys had no answer and were all out for 117 with Robert Thorne (34) and Hamish McCulloch (29) leading the scoring.

A result between Phat Duck Allenton and Rakaia was unavailable before deadline yesterday.

■■RUGBY LEAGUE

Barbarians to tackle the Rolleston Nines The Ashburton Barbarians league side will be out to make an intimidating start in their first appearance in the annual Rolleston Nines today.

Seven league sides from around Canterbury will line up to compete in the competition in which a new winner will be found with last year’s winners, Linwood Keas, not returning to defend their title.

The Barbarians will be joined by three local Selwyn sides, The Rolleston Warriors, Burnham Chevaliers and the 2/1 Battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry, while the remaining three sides are; the Halswell Hor-

netts, the Upper Riccarton Knights and Canterbury Bati.

The latter is a Fijian side full of size and speed, who make their first appearance in the competition too and are expected to bring plenty of flair to the tournament.

As well as the men’s tournament the Rolleston Warriors’ women will play the Sydenham Swans in a series of matches while two junior sides will also take the field.

The first matches kick off at 10am with the men’s final scheduled for 4.30pm, with all games at Foster Park.

■■BASKETBALL

New coach for 3x3 team Canterbury’s Piet van Hasselt has been named head coach of the New Zealand men’s 3x3 team and is tasked with taking the national side to two big fixtures in 2020.

The first is the FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in New Delhi, to be held 18 to 22 March.

Two months later the team will joining the New Zealand women’s side at the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup in Changsha, China, to be held May 13 to 17.

Coaching the elite New Zealand team is a step up for van Hasselt.

Last year he led the national Under 23 men’s side at the FIBA U23 World Cup in China, where the team narrowly missed

out on a quarter-finals berth due to an overtime loss in Argentina.

It was the first time New Zealand had played at that age-group event and van Hasselt says that it was an experience that helped develop him greatly for this new role.

“The New Zealand Under 23 programme is important to the senior programme as it facilitates more players to experience the increased physicality and pace of the international 3x3 game.

“I enjoyed the chance to put into practice what I’d been learning about 3x3 in recent years and have been further studying international trends and concepts of the game since,” said van Hasselt.

■■TENNIS

Barty still going; Williams out Ash Barty is starting to feel right at home at Melbourne Park.

The top-ranked Aussie was the first player to secure a spot in the fourth round of the Australian Open, and thinks she’s starting to regain the momentum that helped get her to the top of the rankings and a first major title in 2019.

Barty fended off eight breakpoint chances before beating 29th-seeded Elena Rybakina 6-3, 6-2 in the opening match yesterday on Rod Laver Arena.

The 20-year-old Rybakina had won 11 of her first 12 matches of the season, winning the title in the tune-up tournament in Hobart after reaching the final in Shenzhen.

Barty, the French Open champion, won her first title on home soil in Adelaide last week and, after dropping the first set she played at Melbourne Park, has advanced through three rounds without losing another set.

She had a tough start against Rybakina, having her serve broken in the opening game, but otherwise felt good about her latest win.

“I felt I needed to be switched on.

“A lot of the games were long and tough and happy to get out of them,” she said.

“Today was probably my sharpest match that I played (this summer).

“I felt really comfortable moving around the court.

“I felt like I found the middle of the racket a lot sooner than my other matches.”

Barty reached the quarter-finals last year, which gave her the confidence she carried through the full season and included titles at Roland Garros and the WTA Finals.

An Australian title is a big step, though.

Ash Barty is all intense concentration on her way to victory over Elena Rybakina yesterday.

It’s been more than four decades since an Australian lifted the trophy.

She’ll next meet either No. 18 Alison Riske, or her doubles partner Julia Goerges on Sunday for a spot in the quarter-finals.

No. 14 Diego Schwartzman was the first of the men through the fourth round, beating No. 24 Dusan Lajovic 6-2, 6-3, 7-6 (7) and could meet seven-time champi-

on Novak Djokovic in the fourth round.

Meanwhile Caroline Wozniacki’s farewell tour at the Australian Open is over.

The 2018 champion lost her third-round match 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 to Ons Jabeur at Melbourne Arena.

Wozniacki said late last year that she would retire from the game after the Australian Open in order to spend more time with her

family and because she has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2018.

She sat in her court-side chair wiping tears from her eyes before doing an on-court television interview.

“I think it was only fitting that my last match ended with a forehand error,” the former No. 1-ranked Wozniacki told the crowd, smiling through the tears.

Serena Williams’ bid to win a 24th Grand Slam title has been falling short with losses in finals.

At this Australian Open, she didn’t make it nearly that far.

Williams stunningly exited in the third round, beaten 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-5 by 27th-seeded Wang Qiang of China yesterday. This was her earliest defeat there since also bowing out in the third round all the way back in 2006.

■■BASKETBALL

James triple-double helps Lakers down the Nets LeBron James had 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in his 10th triple-double of the season and the Los Angeles Lakers made a season-high 19 3-pointers to pull away and beat the Brooklyn Nets 128-113 yesterday.

James closed within 17 points of Kobe Bryant for third place on the NBA’s career scoring list with a flurry in the fourth quarter.

He can pass Bryant at Philadelphia, where the five-time champion with the Lakers was born.

James has 33,626 points.

Bryant finished with 33,643.

A back-and-forth game for nearly three quarters turned into a rout after the Lakers broke the Nets’ spirits with four straight 3-pointers spanning the third and fourth quarters, extending a one-point lead to 10794, and Los Angeles coasted from there.

Anthony Davis had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Dwight Howard finished with 14 points and 12 boards in his first start of the season.

Kyrie Irving scored 20 points after missing a game with right hamstring tightness, but the Nets lost their fifth straight. Brooklyn has won just two of its last 14 games.

The Nets were without backup centers DeAndre Jordan and Nicolas Claxton, leaving them without many options behind starter Jarrett Allen. But they struggled just as badly guarding the perimeter. Los Angeles was 19 of 38 behind the arc.

Danny Green made three 3s in the first four minutes of the third, pushing the lead to 88-75, but the Nets had it down to 95-94 after a 3-pointer by Irving with 49 seconds remaining.

But then Davis and Rajon Rondo hit 3s before Jared Dudley, who played in Brooklyn last season, hit one from near the Nets’ bench to beat the buzzer and make it 10494.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope made it four straight 3s to open the fourth, extending the lead back to 13.

James then scored eight in the period be- Nets’ Spencer Dinwiddie defends Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James (23) during the fore taking a seat for good. second half of their game yesterday.

■■BOYS GET PAID

Massive bets on the cards at Karaka

By Michael Guerin

the latter dividend initially paying out $100,000 but with deductions possible after Piaggio was scratched from the race.

The top four payout comes into play as the TAB will pay four fixed odd place dividends on races 2-6 at the mega meeting.

BGP founder and pied piper Luke Kemeys says the response to the punting club has been stunning.

“Obviously we had a magic night here the last couple of years but the interest this year has been enormous,” says the Auckland-based accountant.

“We will have over 400 BGP

New Zealand’s biggest and noisiest punting party may be robbed of their chance to place one of the largest bets in New Zealand racing history tomorrow.

Facebook group Boys Get Paid is set to amass at least a $220,000 punting war chest for the Karaka Million meeting at Ellerslie and have already gone on the attack.

They have placed a $50,000 fixed odds bet on Probabeel at $1.95 to win the Karaka Classic Mile (race six) and a $28,500 multi on Catalyst to win and Taroni to finish top 4 in the Karaka Million,

members at the track and well over 1000 different people involved in the punters club.

“Some of them are people who are already in punters clubs who have joined us for the day, others are groups who want to have their own party and watch the races at home, whether that is in Invercargill or Australia, but be part of the fun.

“We are already past $200,000 in the kitty and I think $220,000 is likely but $240,000 is possible.

“That last figure would be great so we could average around $40,000 spend per race.”

Kemeys says while his group’s

M6 Canterbury gallops

members want a return many are involved for the fun and will roll the money over into future punters clubs.

Last year BGP cleaned up when Probabeel won the Karaka Million, setting off scenes rarely seen at a New Zealand sporting venues as they paid their very loud respects to winning jockey Opie Bosson.

Kemeys and his team of analysts were keen to have a $100,000 bet on Catalyst, the hot favourite for race two on Saturday, but were put off by his $1.10 fixed odds price.

“That is too short so we are

hoping they drift him out,” he explains.

“But we already have him in that multi bet.”

TAB bookie Stephen Hunt said $100,000 bets are extremely rare in New Zealand but he wasn’t going to be doing the BGP any favours.

“Catalyst might get out to $1.15 but not the $1.20 I hear they want,” laughed Hunt.

The Australian TAB opened Catalyst at $1.60 on Wednesday and were slammed with big bets, including one of A$94,000 at $1.45.

He is now $1.30 there but with other runners shorter than the NZ TAB.

■■RUGBY

Silver lining to Saracens scandal

By Patrick McKendry As Englishman Joe Marchant prepared to start for the Blues in their pre-season match against the Hurricanes yesterday, New Zealand Rugby say they are open to more English players representing Kiwi sides in Super Rugby.

Marchant, a 23-year-old who played three tests for England last year, will start at centre at Onewa Domain in his side’s final pre-season game before next Friday’s competition opener against the Chiefs at Eden Park.

He is the second England test player to turn out for a New Zealand Super Rugby side following James Haskell’s season with the Highlanders in 2012, and, as the Saracens salary cap scandal continues to play out in the United Kingdom, is unlikely to be the last.

In fact, New Zealand Rugby’s head of professional rugby Chris Lendrum said it was possible more high-profile players could seek a change of scenery Downunder as the fallout continues.

“It will be interesting to see now that they’re relegated what happens with

some of their key players – their high wage players, their England players, and how the rest of the competition reacts,” Lendrum said.

“It [salary cap scandal] is not a situation I would ever see happening here, but if some of them are interested in coming out here and playing Super Rugby.

“We’ve got Joe Marchant playing at the Blues this year from Harlequins, our partner.

“We’re massively excited about Joe and you never know – maybe not in a Lions year next year but if someone else wants to come out and try their hand at Super Rugby we’d be really open to it.

“In those situations players have to drive it.

“Joe drove his decision to come here, just like James Haskell did seven or eight years ago because they want to try a different style of rugby in a different environment.”

The experience is a key factor; England’s test stars would never travel to New Zealand for the money but if Marchant enjoys his time here as much as Haskell did, a Downunder sabbatical may hold a

little more appeal for those in Blighty.

The garrulous Haskell later said in an interview that he was paid only $20,000 a year to play for the Highlanders, but quickly took to the southern lifestyle and years later said he still kept in touch with former coach Jamie Joseph.

The big difference between Marchant and Haskell is they came to New Zealand at opposite ends of their test careers.

Marchant is said to have a big future at England and raised a few eyebrows back home with his move, while for Haskell it was a near final roll of the dice.

Marchant’s decision came at a good time for the Blues as they faced up to the loss of midfielders Ma’a Nonu and Sonny Bill Williams, and the selection of Leon MacDonald’s midfield next week will be highly anticipated.

“It’s been a fast-paced pre-season – everything is done at top speed,” Marchant said after being named in the midfield alongside captain Faiane.

“It helps having such perfect conditions to train in. I was on the phone with family back home and it’s -1 degC and I’m on my way to training in 25degC.” England, and now Blues, star Joe Marchant.

All Blacks success – it depends on the basics

By Gregor Paul

F

or almost 10 years between 2009 and 2018, the All Blacks were so dominant on the world stage that they became a favoured thesis topic for curious minds that needed to understand what was driving this success.

It made for comprehensive reading as rugby’s finest sleuths found an incredible number of factors which they said separated the All Blacks from everyone else.

When the World Cup was in New Zealand, writers from everywhere traipsed across the country, calling in for tea with Colin Meads and visiting the fabled home-made goalposts at the Carter homestead in Southbridge.

They sampled the air in Kurow to see if it held any clues about the near superhuman qualities possessed by Richie McCaw. They went to South Auckland to try to gauge the weight of the Polynesian influence within the All Blacks and they called in at primary schools to see if rugby skills really are innate in New Zealand kids.

Everyone reached the same conclusion – that the All Blacks sit atop an holistic rugby system that is built piece-by piece, day-byday, skill-by-skill.

Their success is not attributable to just one factor, but instead a whole series of infinitesimal happenings over an inordinately long rugby apprenticeship, that is aligned with a selection and development plan that spits out players who seem to have an almost Jedi-like feel for the game.

No one can disagree with this, but the whole business of what set the All Blacks apart in 2009

to 2018 could just as easily, and perhaps more effectively, be answered by saying it was due to their ability to execute the basics of the game better than everyone else.

New Zealand as a mystical land of rugby gurus leaving their rundown milking sheds and imparting their wisdom to wide-eyed, bare-foot children on Saturday mornings makes for a Hollywood narrative, but it’s overblown.

The 10,000-hour theory carries no romantic elements, but it better explains why the All Blacks were so good for a decade.

Pick a skill – any skill – between 2009 and 2018 and New Zealand’s best players could hand on heart say there was no-one anywhere in the world better at it than them.

And they did so through relentless application: a belief that endless repetition would lead to excellence.

The quality of the pass and catch in that period was mesmerising and that’s because there were days when they did nothing other than pass and catch.

In Italy in 2012, the All Blacks backs spent an hour running back and forth across the width of the training field, varying the length of their passing and speed at which they were running.

For a whole hour, the ball stayed in front of the catcher, perfect passes being met with soft hands and not once was it dropped.

Maybe other teams could produce similar excellence on the training ground, but it was the fact that come game day, the All Blacks could reproduce this quality of pass and catch under intense pressure that set them apart.

Be it Daniel Carter, Ma’a Nonu, Conrad Smith or Israel Dagg, the timing and accuracy never deserted them in those critical moments when they had a split second to get the ball to the next man.

No matter how good defences were, the All Blacks’ basic skills were good enough to play their way through.

In that same period, no one was better at taking the high ball than Cory Jane, Dagg and Ben Smith.

Carter had an immaculate and diverse kicking game and he inspired Aaron Cruden to work relentlessly to find more length and accuracy off both feet.

The All Blacks’ lineout rarely malfunctioned.

After a terrible period in early 2009, teams across New Zealand were encouraged to speed up and simplify their execution and for a decade they arrived on the touchline and three seconds later had the ball secured.

Whatever the world threw at the All Blacks they found a way to conquer it.

However good the rest of the world became, the All Blacks were a step ahead simply because they always found a way to execute their skills regardless of pressure or occasion.

And so on the eve of the 2020 Super Rugby season kicking off, it is obvious what must happen if the All Blacks are to return to the top of the world game.

They need to get back to basics.

Throughout 2019 there was endless talk that manic, frantic defence had become all too easy to produce in a world of lax officiating of the offside line.

Again, there is basis to this –

Dan Carter – Practice, practice and more practice led to perfection. that the All Blacks faced an impossible mission trying to attack their way through solid defensive walls that were camped a metre further up the field than they should have been.

But, also, there is more truth to the counter-argument that the reason the All Blacks struggled last year was that their basic pass and catch wasn’t sharp enough; their kicking not accurate enough and their general skills not quite polished enough.

There were games when the

All Blacks were great: moments against Ireland, Australia and South Africa when they were their old selves – powerful running and off-loading, incredible timing of the passing, clever kicking.

Everyone in 2011 was looking in the wrong places for answers about New Zealand’s rugby dominance and the process could easily be repeated in 2020 in the search for ways to return to the top.

It’s simple enough – across all five Super Rugby teams, the passing needs to be better.

The ability to draw a defender and create space needs to improve.

It’s not that these skills have fallen off the cliff – they just haven’t kept apace with the improvements that have been made across the world on the defensive front.

New Zealand’s kicking needs to collectively improve – both the actual execution of the skill and knowledge of when and where to kick.

More forwards need to be able to off-load: to stay on their feet for longer in the contact and play the ball out of the tackle more.

Lineouts need to be executed quicker – less thinking and talking, more accurate throwing and better-timed lifting.

Just as there used to be people all over the world trying to explain New Zealand’s dominance, they are now devoting hours detailing why this country’s rugby empire has collapsed.

They missed the point in the boom years and they are going to miss it again now – the key to success has always been and always will be the precision execution of basic skills.

celebrates 140 years of service Stories wri�en by Malcolm Hopwood

P

PAUL CUNNEEN STRIVED FOR EXCELLENCE IN SPORT AND BUSINESS

aul Cunneen deserved his reputa�on as one of the finest loose forwards on the New Zealand rugby field.

From Monday to Friday he worked for the Rural Bank, but on Saturday and o�en Wednesday he wore the green and yellow. Mid Canterbury had a great second division side in the late 1970s and ’80s and, on its day, could topple any team at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds. Mostly it did and its scalps regularly included Canterbury.

It was in those scraps that Paul and other outstanding players – such as the Frew brothers, Murray Roulston, Jock Ross, the late John McLay, Bruce Parkin, Grant Perry and Murray McLeod – punched well above their weight. At those games the Mid Canterbury public, o�en one-eyed, would evaluate Paul against all other visi�ng loosies.

One especially was des�ned for greatness. He was the late Jock Hobbs, future All Black captain and CEO of New Zealand Rugby. But on the showgrounds at least, he was overshadowed by Paul.

Nearly 40 years ago Paul had all the quali�es that All Black selectors look for in a player. He was versa�le, rangy and could play six, seven or eight in a pack. Warren Frew claimed the number seven slot so Paul, the marauder, tackler, runner and player who could set up counter movements, reigned supreme at blindside or back of the scrum.

“We had such a good side and achieved a lot of recogni�on,” Paul says, looking back over his career.

“It was a team effort and, if you didn’t play to your utmost, you felt you let the side down.”

Jock Hobbs had the eye of selectors who didn’t spend enough �me at the showgrounds assessing Paul and some of the other players. Instead they shone in the victorious South Island teams of the 1980s.

Guardian sports reporter, Dave Lemon, covered the rugby and the team enjoyed reading his post-match review. “We subscribed to the Guardian to read about our performance, but we also devoured other sport,” Paul recalls.

“By reading the newspaper I felt informed and part of the wider community.

Mid Canterbury people supported me and I wanted to support them back.”

Because Paul had graduated from

Lincoln with a B.Ag.Com, majoring in Valua�on and Farm Management, he was interested in rural issues. “I read everything about farming, including even CWI events,” he said. “The Guardian helped weld it all together.”

If the ABs didn’t pursue Paul, London Welsh did. Mid Canterbury played a scrappy game against the Bri�sh and Irish Lions touring side in 1983 and Paul’s dedica�on in staying cen�metres away from the ball all day, impressed Welshman, Rob Ackermann.

He contacted Paul to play for London Welsh. It was �me for his OE. He spent two years in Great Britain and, on his return, he wanted a change, something different. Colin McLeod offered him a job selling rural real estate. Paul had found his post-rugby niche.

“We were a firm that used the latest technology and it wasn’t long before we were working with the Guardian to improve our adver�sing. They helped me present proper�es for sale in a more professional manner,” he says.

But Paul was an avid reader for another reason. He needed to know everything in the newspaper to improve his local knowledge. “I read the death no�ces, the trades and services, the local news, the le�ers to the editor. It was my way of knowing the people,” he said. “It helped discussion when spending �me in the car with clients.

“The Guardian was my early version of Google.”

Today Paul regards the newspaper as an essen�al component of a thriving community. He especially sees its benefits when, as a member of NZ Realtors, he visited communi�es that had lost their local paper.

“People are the poorer without a publica�on that brings them together and tells them what’s happening.”

Just as with his rugby, Paul has strived for excellence in real estate and achieved it. Un�l recently he was one of the South Island owners of Property Brokers but, in his 60s, he’s relinquished ownership and is “happy to be a salesperson”.

“I just want to enjoy the rest of my healthy life,” he comments.

At 62, Paul and partner, Belinda,

looked around New Zealand to see where they wanted to re�re. It was an easy decision. “We love this place, we’re connected to it, it’s where we want to stay,” Paul says.

A home at Lake Hood, surrounded by real estate he’s sold and the Guardian. There’s no be�er future re�rement to look forward to.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ll be struck by the number of people around you who you genuinely admire, a few in your actual circle, many in the cultural community and a few who happen to be versions of yourself.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Each person travels in a cloud of their own convictions. You know which personal atmospheres mix well with yours and which will be intolerable (in which case this is no day to argue, just leave): GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, the higher ones only become an issue after the lower ones have been fulfilled. Be grateful for your complex problems, it’s a sign that your basics are solid.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Dopamine is to the brain what cupcakes are to the world of carbohydrates.

In both cases, little goes a long way. Too much pleasure, anticipation and wanting is unhealthy, addictive even.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It seems there are dozens of reasons why you shouldn’t do a thing and only one reason you should. When the one reason is important enough – opposition is inconsequential.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Enlightenment is a terrible goal, it cannot be achieved or even discovered.

Instead, it’s a state in which it is found that there is nothing to find. Your peace will come inside the moments you inhabit. No striving.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): People who ask for your opinion are trying to figure out who you are, where you stand and what you might do for them. They want to know, like and trust you more than they want your thought process.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The philosopher Seneca believed that to laugh in the face of fear or stay calm in tumult could only be the result of “a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body.”

Maybe you’re there because you did the work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Yes, you are the prophet of your own story, generating numerous predictions per hour and seeing many of them come true. Wisdom comes of you being willing, and even excited, to be proven wrong.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re already in a constant collaboration with yourself. Mix in a few more opinions from the peanut gallery and it all becomes a little much. It will be more peaceful and more fun if you go this one solo.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Get creative on paper. How much brainstorming do you need to do to get to a real solution for your problem? As much as it takes. You’ll know it when you see it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re not sure what’s on the other side of your fear, but you can certain that whatever its qualities, you will experience them in retrospect as the sublime reward for courage in motion.

BACK or NECK PAIN? Then try a Teeter WHY INVERSION?

Inversion helps to:

Because in most cases it works! Inversion Therapy is the oldest recorded medical cure for back issues, first recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC, otherwise known as spinal traction. Traction was used by modern hospitals for many years however because it is a slow process and ties up hospital beds for many weeks, they recently stopped using the treatment.

• Relieve Back Pain • Relieve Neck Pain • Relieve Muscle Tension • Stimulate Blood And Lymph Flow • Improve Posture • Increase Flexability

Inversion Therapy is gentle and relaxing if done properly and has many other benefits apart from relieving back pain, it helps realign the spine and pelvic area, loosens up tight muscles, increases oxygen to the brain, stimulates circulation and the lymphatic system and has many other benefits.

Inversion NZ have been teaching people how to use this treatment for over twelve years, it is an amazing process with most people getting off the Teeter pain free for the first time in years or with their pain substantially reduced. The relief usually lasts around 30 minutes to three hours and as the pain returns you use the machine again, after using this method of treatment, in a few weeks the relief increases, which is the discs starting to retain more fluid, muscles starting to loosen up and the body coming back into alignment. In our experience most people are pain free in around three months, then the Teeter is used daily to maintain the health of the body.

WHY TEETER?

Frank Harwood (84 at time of picture) using his Teeter, Frank’s been Inverting for over eleven years and has found it keeps him young

The biggest issue with inversion tables is there is no safety standards that need to be met. Because of this, other brands use mild steel for 100% of the metal involved. Mild steel is great for static loads, in other words things that don’t move such as chairs, tables etc, however with Inversion Therapy there is considerable movement and this movement causes mild steel to flex. Because it always flexes in the same place it eventually causes metal fatigue and can result in failure.

All Teeters are manufactured for extreme safety. Heat treated high tensile steel has been used in all areas subjected to stress. High tensile steel is far stronger and most importantly does not flex. This means Teeters are the strongest and safest tables on the market today.

IT IS PURE LOGIC AS TO HOW THE TEETER TABLE WORKS

Discs:

It uses gravity to apply traction, the traction gently opens the discs and as they open up they create suction, this suction draws fluid from the surrounding tissue back into the discs, re-hydrating them. This is the key! Discs do not have their own blood supply, they rely on trans fer of fluid from the surrounding tissue to keep them healthy and hydrated and over the years as discs get thinner with age, they lose the ability to take on fluid (just like squeezing a sponge) and they start to de-hydrate.

Posture: Poor

posture is one of the major cases of pain and is a major contributor to the deterioration of the body with age. A difference in leg length causes most of the hip and knee issues, as they continue to place uneven loads on the joints; similar to the wheels out of alignment on your car.

Trying to correct posture is extremely difficult due to muscle memory, as it constantly pulls the muscles back to where they were. At a level of 40 degrees or more on the Teeter, the muscle groups open up and eventually come back into alignment, using the table daily, does not allow the muscle memory to pull them back out of alignment and slowly the muscles start to lose their memory and go with the flow, allowing the body to come back into correct posture. Then using the table once a day will ensure it is kept there.

De-Hydrated discs are less flexible, they are harder, more prone to injury, they interfere with nerve roots creating pain and ultimately the de-hydration causes degen eration. The Teeter Inversion table slowly and gently brings the hydration back into the discs, plumping them up. It separates the nerve roots far more effectively and This is pure logic, if a machine is out of returns quality of life

Muscles: A lot of pain is muscular, when

muscles are stressed they become tight which restricts the flow of blood and lymph through the muscles so toxins build up, Co2 and Lactic Acid. Traction opens up the muscles, Rhythmic Traction, is a gentle rocking motion that stimulates circulation and encourages blood flow through the muscles, which clears the lactic acid into your lymph system where it stimulates lymph flow and deals with it. Most people with serious neck issues see a large improvement after only one treatment.

alignment it does not last long, the only difference between the body and a machine is that the body is constantly repairing itself, however if the wear and tear on the body is greater than the body’s ability to repair itself, it is a slow decline.

The Teeter slowly brings the body out of its decline and allows the body to repair itself, resulting in a far healthier life.

If you are serious about investing in your health and really sorting your issues out, come see us at one of our local roadshows, you have nothing to lose and chances are, a lot to gain.
