Tim Lovett has set time aside over three decades to be part of the Ashburton A&P Show.

30 years of A&P passion

BY TIM CRONSHAW

TIM.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

For 30-odd years Tim Lovett has worked hard with a small team of volunteers to have the grounds spotless for the start of the Ashburton A&P Show.

Today is little different, except expectations have risen steeply.

“We are amateurs running a

professional show and everybody’s expectations are of a high standard. That’s the main difference from 30 years ago,’’ said Lovett, a dairy farmer on 400 hectares at Newlands. “It’s our business at stake … and it’s all about entertaining people today.’’

The pull of the show keeps him coming back as a volunteer. A

sharemilker on the family’s 1100cow farm allows him to commit his energy to the event. His wife Beth, who frees up his time by running the calves, tolerates his passion.

“It’s good to get off the farm and do other things because it’s healthy for you. I get out and meet like-minded people.’’

Show volunteering is a family affair with son Matt taking a week off work for the event, Beth helps out in the grain and seed section and other son Sam used to be a willing helper.

Lovett doesn’t count the hours he puts in helping to prepare the grounds for the show. The team starts with spraying the grounds

a few months before the turnstiles start spinning.

The reality is as soon as the show is over they start planning the next event.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Putting the best of the past on show

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When the gates open on Ashburton’s 141st show today, it will be an historic moment for members of Mid Canterbury’s Vintage Machinery club.

After years of working to establish a permanent base for their club and its growing collection of elderly farm machinery, work on its home for life, a large building in Ashburton’s showgrounds, is close to completion.

And no one is happier to see that job close to wrapping up than club president John Hall.

“It’s been a bit of a goal for us to get this completed for the show.

We’ve got a temporary permit for the workshop and display area, but there’s still work to be done on the meeting room,” he said.

Club members are going all out during the two day show to put a large part of their collection of vintage and classic tractors on display and to show the public what their organisation is all about.

Displays will mark the 100 year milestone of John Deere manufacaturing tractors and the 60th birthday of the Massey Ferguson.

Yesterday members, wrapped up against driving rain, were driving those tractors to the showgrounds, where today they will be lined up so visitors can see the developments in tractor power from the 1930s through to modern day.

Up to 40 tractors will be on display and club members will be on

hand to share their passion for vintage machinery with visitors.

Because the club has had no permanent base, vintage items have been stored in members’ sheds and garages; the new

rooms and workshop will mean the community will have much easier access to viewing machinery that has played a huge role in the Ashburton District’s past, Hall said.

Thirty years of Ashburton A&P Show passion From P1 The showgrounds are spread over 17.4ha and he works with a caretaker to ensure the mowing and machinery repairs and maintenance runs smoothly.

The small team of seven or eight volunteers is sometimes boosted by extra people power in the lead up to show day.

Ashburton’s showgrounds has its own irrigation system and un-

til yesterday’s southerly blast, the irrigators have been put to good use to ensure the grounds have a green tinge.

As a farmer Lovett couldn’t help himself with welcoming yesterday’s rain.

“It’s good to see the rain – it helps the farmers and they should be in a good mood today.’’

Another change he has witnessed over decades has been the

growth of the trade area which has taken over half of the car park.

“We have firms competing side by side at the A&P show and that’s what it is all about.

“The trade site would be one of the best for an A&P show that I know of and it’s part of why our Ashburton show has been so successful.’’

He has often tried to calculate how many millions of dollars

worth of machinery is on display before giving up.

Lovett said missing out on a show was unheard of when he was a boy, but there are more interests competing for people’s time.

“Now there is shift work and not everyone has the weekend off.

“We were brought up to go to the A&P show and now it’s not as necessary so you have to provide

the amusements and entertainment.’’

The gates open to the public at 9am today for the 141st show and the first event scheduled to start at 7.30am is the dog trials.

This will be followed by morning activities including horse events, indoor and outdoor markets and the judging for home industries and grain and seed entries.

■ THEFT FROM CAR

Thieves make off with precious items

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Two well-known Ashburton musicians are on the hunt for the recovery of two precious items stolen from their vehicle on Wednesday morning.

Simon Christensen and Nikita Hyde had a number of items stolen from their van on Osborne Grove between midnight on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

Some of those items, including a special pair of glasses worn by Simon to combat Irlen Syndrome – an eyesight issue, have been returned following the arrest by police of an individual who was found in possession of the items on Wednesday.

However, still missing were Christensen’s laptop and a Walden semi-acoustic guitar which belonged to Hyde.

“Nikita has had that guitar since she was 13,” Christensen said.

“It was given to her by her father, who is sadly no longer with us so the sentimental value around it is huge for us.

“My laptop had all my

study notes and assignments on it as well as about five years of photos, so it’s got huge value to me too.

“Unfortunately, my hard drive was also with the laptop.”

The pair together perform as ToPeace and are also members of the well-known covers band, Wishlist who play at a number of venues around the Mid Canterbury region, and further afield.

Hyde has recently purchased a new guitar so will still be able to perform, but for obvious reasons is very keen to get her old guitar back.

“Her new guitar is a really nice one, but she said to me she wished it was that one which had been taken and not the one her Dad gave her.”

Christensen is currently studying to become an Early Childhood Educator and as the end of the education year approaches, he said a number of assignments and course work were due in the coming week and all his work was on his laptop.

“I’m currently trying to

sort out what I’m going to do there because everything is on the laptop.”

Despite the frustrations, Christensen said he had nothing but praise for the public’s help so far and also the efforts of the police.

“We can’t say enough about how good the police have been, they’ve actually been incredible.

“And we put a post up on our social media accounts to try and spread the word and it’s been shared more than 200 times which is amazing.

“We just want the stuff back, especially the guitar.”

The pair will be in action tomorrow at the A&P Show where they will be entertaining the crowd on the Hokonui Stage at various times throughout the day.

Police last night confirmed they had been called to a theft from a vehicle on Wednesday morning and later that day arrested a 20-year-old man in relation to the incident.

The man was remanded in custody for receiving property and will appear in the Christchurch District Court on Monday, November 5.

Simon Christensen and Nikita Hyde are on the lookout for items stolen from their vehicle this week including a guitar which is pictured here being held

by Hyde.

Quake plaque crackdown on cards

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Dozens of commercial property owners around the Ashburton District are about to be put on notice – continue ignoring requests to display plaques detailing their building’s compliance rating against building standards and you will be prosecuted.

Council building services manager Michael Wong said the plaques were sent to owners more

than six weeks ago and currently virtually the only ones on display are on council-owned buildings.

For buildings where the council had been provided with an engineer’s assessment the plaques listed the percentage the building complied with the building code and when strengthening work needed to be completed.

“There are about 80 who have had reports, who know their percentage and they’ve been given

their deadline (for strengthening work or demolition) and they’ve done nothing to put their plaques up,” Wong said.

Those where no engineer’s report was available were listed as earthquake prone and from those and while no plaques had appeared around town, there had been quite a reaction, he said.

“We had 50 of those sent out and we’ve had 20 come back with their reports. Out of those 20, 18

didn’t have to put plaques up because they were proven not to be earthquake prone,” he said.

And that indicated there were 30 owners that had not provided the council with an engineer’s report and around 80 who had provided reports, who knew what their compliance was but who were refusing to put their signs up, Wong said.

“They have a legal requirement to put these up, but there’s just been this ominous silence.”

The council would not be letting the issue lie, Wong said, and a decision needed to be made on the next steps to take to ensure compliance. The last resort option would be to impose what is likely to be a substantial fine, he said.

■ TRUSTPOWER AWARDS

■ STATISTICS NZ

School group wins award

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A group of parents committed to providing the best possible learning environment for their children won the judges’ hearts in this year’s Trustpower Community Awards.

As Ashburton winners of the supreme award, Lauriston School’s school support group earned their school community both the title and a $2000 cheque at the recent award ceremony and that win still has the group’s members reeling, said group member Sus Palmer.

She prepared the entry and with other group members was on hand to take a turn in the spotlight when the awards were handed out.

The group is made up of school parents and it has a single focus – raising money for their community’s school. Key among that was the school’s pool.

“I put everything we’ve raised money for into our application and they’ve centred on the pool as it was our main focus, a huge amount of money went into this,” she said.

Since the Ministry of Education withdrew funding for school pools, the group has raised $80,000 for the pool to ensure students had every opportunity to learn to swim.

Stage one five years ago saw it relined, a new pump and filtration plant installed and a pool cover purchased and stage two wrapped up this year with new changing rooms.

“The old rooms were definitely not up to health and safety standards. They were horrid and they’re now used as a chook house for the kids’ farm.”

Pool projects were completed with hundreds of hours of volunteer work.

Fundraising is constant for the group and it was humbling the way the school community kept on giving, Palmer said.

The support group raised its money in many ways, ranging from selling goods donated by

Ashburton’s Trustpower Community Awards supreme winners, Lauriston School Support group members Jenna Muir, Sus Palmer and Amy Honeywell with school board chairman James McKenzie.

PHOTO SUPPLIED local businesses and individuals, raising stock and catering.

It is committed to providing its school with the funds needed to ensure Lauriston children have the best facilities possible and virtually every parent, every family was committed to being part of the group, she said.

“Fundraising is ongoing. On top of the pool project, $32,000 was donated to the school this year and that was used for iPads and computers and we’ve paid for a modern learning environment, furniture for the playground, and we’re currently

looking at an outdoor learning space.”

Last year and again this year, $10,000 was given to the school for its annual camp.

Currently the school has a roll of about 85 and growing. The new entrant class has 28 students.

The support group was overwhelmed when their name was called out as winners, Palmer said. “I was a bit blown away on the night because so many people from so many groups had done so much work.

“A lot of other groups were

made up predominately of retired people but our people are either working or have children at home.”

The children were the group’s inspiration but the work that was done to raise money could not be done without the commitment of so many parents and the wider Lauriston community, she said.

Lauriston’s school support group will now compete against supreme winners from 26 other parts of New Zealand in the national awards in Tauranga in March.

Migrants have become the greatest contributors to population growth in the Ashburton District.

Figures just released by Statistics New Zealand show the district’s population has increased only marginally over the year to June 30.

The increase of 400 people (1 per cent) saw migration contribute 200 towards that growth. The natural increase, an excess of births over deaths, was 100.

At June 30, the population sat at 34,500 with growth slowing from the previous year.

From June 30, 2013 to June 30 this year, the district’s population has grown from 32,300.

The Ashburton District now has the 12th largest population base in the South Island. Outside of Christchurch, 388,400, Dunedin, 130,700 and Invercargill, 55,200, Selwyn now has the most populous area.

Growth hot spots in the South Island were Queenstown Lakes, 5.5 per cent growth, 2900 extra people, total population, 39,100, Selwyn, 4.8 per cent, 2900 extra people, population 62,200; Central Otago, 3.6 per cent, Kaikoura, 3 per cent and Waimakariri, 2.4 per cent.

While there were no areas in the South Island where population declined, several had only minimal growth – Hurunui and Grey districts, 0.3 per cent, Timaru and Gore, 0.4 per cent. Buller’s population was unchanged.

Queenstown Lakes is now the fastest growing district in New Zealand followed by Auckland’s Waitemata and Selwyn.

Waitomo stood alone as losing population.

They used cutting equipment to clear the way for ambulance officers to work on the occupants, one who was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

One person was taken to Ashburton Hospital for injury assessment after two cars collided in the passing lanes on State Highway One just south of Tinwald yesterday.

The highway was closed for about an hour and southbound traffic was diverted along Longbeach Road and Winslow Willowby Road, while northbound

included the elderly driver of one car and a passenger in the other.

Police blocked the highway while the emergency services teams worked.

A busy period continues for firefighters, who had responded to five incidents on Wednesday.

Their Wednesday began at 12.43am when they were called to an area off Melrose Road where a car was on fire. A man was also there, helping police

with inquiries. A crew responded to a medical assist in Allenton at 3.28pm, then three evening callouts put paid to the volunteer brigade’s scheduled training exercise.

A smoke alarm in a private home was activated about 7.35pm, but no fire was found; crews were then called to a minor two-car collision at the corner of Racecourse and Allens Roads; then at 8.24pm, they raced off to

■ MEDSAFE

In brief

Online medicine warning A health watchdog has warned against the dangers of using illicit medicines available online as 500 tonnes of medicine were seized globally after a crackdown.

An international operation, that was organised by Interpol, revealed the most commonly seized medicines by Medsafe in New Zealand are erectile dsyfunction medicines.

Every year Interpol organises Operation Pangea – a global crackdown on the trade in illicit medicines.

Medsafe again partnered with New Zealand Customs to participate in Operation Pangea XI. During the course of the operation, Medsafe investigated website domain names selling illicit medicines and reported back to Interpol.

Globally 500 tonnes of medicine were seized, 3671 web links were taken down and 859 arrests made.

In New Zealand, medicines for the treatment of erectile dysfunction were the most commonly seized medicines by Medsafe.

Medsafe’s Compliance Branch Manager, Derek Fitzgerald said for the year to date just under 125,000 dosage units of erectile dysfunction medication was seized.

“Antibiotics are also commonly seized medicines – more than 73 thousand dosage units seized for the year to date.

“Incorrect and indiscriminate use of antibiotics contributes to the development of superbugs which do not always respond to antibiotics and can result in serious harm

Weird weather Two seasons and more than 22 degrees in temperature separated two days in Ashburton this week.

While Graham’s Weather Station in Ashburton recorded a high of 30.3 degrees mid-afternoon on Wednesday, yesterday at the same time the mercury had plunged to 8.2 degrees, dropping 22.1 degrees.

And less than 24 hours after breaking high temperature records, yesterday Ashburton could well have recorded an October low.

Wednesday’s 30.3 degree high was recorded at 4.38pm and was the hotest October temperature recorded in 11 years.

The MetService, however, logged Wednesday’s temperature as slightly lower, 28.5 degrees and yesterday’s low at 8.6 degrees.

Scooter concerns

and death.”

“Websites purporting to be in New Zealand, but actually run from elsewhere were reported to Interpol.

“While those responsible aren’t in New Zealand, it was important to relay that information to Interpol for further action.”

“Operation Pangea is a good chance to warn New Zealanders of the dangers of purchasing medicines online from overseas,” Fitzgerald said.

“We need to send a message to the opera-

tors of these rogue internet sites that New Zealand will not tolerate them taking advantage of New Zealand’s good reputation.”

Interpol’s assistance highlighted the importance of global co-operation to tackle a criminal activity that has “no respect for borders”, he said.

Fitzgerald said people actively involved in this trade make large quantities of money, often without any concern for the health of those they are reportedly trying to help.

A rider safety summit aimed at educating people about electric scooters is to be held in New Zealand over the coming days after safety concerns were raised. Lime, the international company behind the scooters, has announced the summit in light of concerns from local authorities as well as members of the public.

A spokesman, Hank Rowe, said company representatives will be in discussions with the NZ Transport Agency, Auckland Transport and the Christchurch City Council about safety.

New branch manager for Smiths City Ashburton, Nikhil Saini’s philosophy on running a successful store is quite simple – he just wants to help people live better.

Saini, who is originally from India but moved to New Zealand eight years ago, has recently taken up the role within the Ashburton branch of the popular store having completed eight years in the retail trade previously after obtaining a post graduate diploma in entrepreneurship and a master of management degree in business.

The lure of the central location of Ashburton was a major selling point in shifting down from Rotorua.

“We travelled past Ashburton a few times on our way to down south and last year, we decided to move here since it is quite close to Christchurch, Timaru, Geraldine and other places and life is very calm and peaceful,” he said.

“It’s only been six weeks in Ashburton, we just feel it is a very welcoming environment, friendly community and easy to commute everywhere.”

Saini said despite the short time he’s been here he can already see a real sense of community coming through the doors of the store and that it’s something he wants the business to become renowned for locally.

“I’d like to involve myself and Smiths City more with participating in community events, hosting events, giveaways and contests.

“Myself, and the Ashburton team, have been working hard lately to build up a new look for the Smiths City Ashburton store which includes bringing up new ranges of furniture and expanding the appliances department side of business.

“My goal is to build up the brand awareness and make Smiths City, the first retailer choice for furniture and appliances in the Ashburton region.”

■ UNITED STATES

Schoolgirls’ deadly plans Two schoolgirls in Florida in the US took knives and a pizza cutter to school with the intention of killing their classmates, cutting them up and drinking their blood before “leaving their body parts at the entrance” and killing themselves, police said.

The girls, aged 11 and 12, took the knives to Bartow Middle School on Tuesday.

They were caught and no one was hurt.

They were arrested and sent to a juvenile detention facility.

They now face charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and possession of a weapon at school, among other charges.

Prosecutors will now decide whether the two girls will be charged as juveniles or as adults.

Police released photos of the weapons recovered from the girls, including a pizza cutter, a meat cleaver and a goblet, which is presumed they intented to use to drink their victims’ blood from.

According to the police affidavit, their plan was to stake out a bathroom and wait for smaller students to enter.

They would then cut their victims’ throats, cut up their bodies, eat the flesh and drink their victims’ blood.

Their plan included fatally stabbing themselves.

“The plan was to kill at least one student but were hoping to kill anywhere from 15-25 students,” the affidavit said.

“Killing all of these students was in hopes it would make them worse sinners ensuring that after they committed suicide ... (they) would go to hell so they could be with satan.”

Police said the girls devised the plot while watching “scary” movies at one of their houses over the weekend.

The plot was foiled when school administrators looked for them after the girls did not show up for class.

They found them in a bathroom stall and brought them back to their offices.

Weed killer traces found in many cereals Dozens of cereals, oatmeals and snack bars contain trace amounts of a weed killer that has been linked to cancer, a new report says.

Released by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), the report found 26 of 28 oat-

It could have gone horribly wrong for Rami Malek. Taking on the larger-thanlife Freddie Mercury, Queen’s former frontman famed for his posturing and bluster, was always going to be a gamble for the Emmy-winning star of hit television drama Mr Robot. But it is a gamble which has paid off, thanks to a flawless performance in the muchhyped biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody. From the first frames of the film – depicting Queen’s 1985 Live Aid performance of their signature hit song Bohemian Rhapsody at London’s Wembley Stadium – Malek not only replicates Mercury’s movements and mannerisms but perfectly channels his essence.

based cereal products that were tested had ‘harmful’ levels of glyphosate, the main ingredient of Roundup.

Products included variations of Cheerios and Quaker Oats, including Honey Nut Cheerios, Quaker Oatmeal

Squares Honey Nut, and Quaker Overnight Oats.

The weed killer was recently at the centre of a trial in which a California jury found Roundup was responsible for giving groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson, 46, terminal cancer.

None of the products had levels above what is allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency, but the EWG argues that customers should be concerned that any levels are being detected in products consumed by children every day.

Jennifer Garner is dating again with news the 46-year-old actress has a new boyfriend. US Weekly has revealed that Garner is dating West Coast businessman John Miller. A source said, “They’ve been together six months – and it’s getting pretty serious”. Miller, 40, is the CEO of CaliGroup which owns Miso Robotics and a chain of around 50 CaliBurger restaurants. According to the publication, the Alias alum and the ex-wife of Oscarwinner Ben Affleck seems to have gone public just two weeks after she finalised her divorce from Affleck with whom she has three children – Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6.

POT UP YOUR

petunias Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

October marks the middle of spring – the most popular planting season of the year. Many of you will have your summer vege crops of lettuce, peas, courgettes and tomatoes top of mind right now. And rightly so!

But have you thought about which flowers you’d like to pot up in your garden this summer?

For a colourful injection of beauty into your pot plants and garden you can’t overlook petunias.

Petunias have a cheerful flower that can bloom non-stop from summer

through to late autumn.

They are also incredibly diverse.

Petunias come in an amazing range of colours, shapes and sizes. They can have a single or double layer of petals, being ruffled or smooth. Many have a gramophone shaped flower. Petunias are ideal for bedding, borders, pot plants and hanging baskets.

Larger petunias (referred to as grandiflora) can grow up to 80cm across (if you really let them go) and have huge flowers spanning 15cm. Their impressive size make a real statement but with this comes more responsibility.

The large flower means, if it is planted in an exposed place, it will get hammered from wind and rain. And you need to deadhead them to encourage more flowering.

The medium-sized varieties will grow between 25 – 50cm high, with flowers that span 5cm. Flowers on the smallest petunia plants only span 2cm.

They are great for path borders and

cutting gardens too.

I recommend mixing a few of the smaller varieties and combining them in pots together. Petunia mini picobella and duo red and white are early bloomers suited to pots. And they don’t need much deadheading.

At time of writing this there are 24 varieties of petunias on offer on our online shop.

And this year we also have two new varieties available – duo burgundy and double mix. Excitingly they are both brand new varieties to all of New Zealand (as far as we know). So get in now to plant something truly unique in your gardens this summer.

You can grab your petunia seedlings from our online store and have them delivered direct to your door. We guarantee you’ll be happy with the quality of your plants and if you’re not we will replace them.

Planting-wise petunias are pretty easy. They like a sunny, well-drained,

fertile spot. Plant seedlings between 15 to 40cm apart depending on their size.

Individual guides come on their labels and you’ll also find this information on our website.

If your planting plot is partially shaded, plant them slightly closer together.

Watch out for snails and aphids on petunias. If they stop flowering sooner than you expected aphids could well be the cause. Petunias can also catch diseases. One method to reduce your chances of disease is to avoid overhead watering.

But if you really want to give your petunias a fighting chance - buy our petunia seedlings. We grow our seedlings with high quality seeds that have increased disease resistance. This means our petunias are more likely to deliver months of beautiful blooms.

In about six to eight weeks your pots should start to look perky with petunia colour.

Premium quality = BMW

T

he BMW 3 Series Sedan has epitomised the concept of sporty driving pleasure in the global premium midsize class for more than 40 years.

Exuding dynamic design, agile handling, exceptional efficiency and innovative equipment features, it takes the signature characteristics of a BMW and turns the volume up several notches.

The sedan represents not only the core of the BMW 3 Series range (of which over 15 million units have now been sold worldwide) but also the heartbeat of the BMW brand.

The seventh generation of the sports sedan moves the game on once again in its segment in terms of driving dynamics, premium quality and innovation.

The market launch of the car will commence in March 2019. The new model will be produced at BMW’s “home” plant in Munich, at the Tiexi plant in Shenyang run by the joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive (BBA) and the newly constructed BMW Plant San Luis Potosí in Mexico.

BMW’s new design language showcases the modern and dynamic character of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan with precisely drawn lines and strikingly contoured surfaces.

Full-LED headlights come as standard, while the LED headlights with extended features and Adaptive LED headlights with BMW Laserlight for non- dazzling high beam are available as an option.

The brand’s new design language also brings a clear arrangement of surfaces to the interior of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. This accentuates the spaciousness of the cabin and, together with the cockpit’s focus on the driver, enhances their concentration on the road.

Responsive power delivery, the freerevving characteristic of BMW, supreme

refinement and exemplary efficiency: these are the hallmarks of the petrol and diesel engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology available from market launch for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan.

The upgraded four-cylinder engines form the basis for the sporty driving experience offered by the BMW 330i (2.0-litre, 190 kW / 400 Nm), BMW 320i (2.0-litre, 135

kW / 300 Nm), BMW 320d (2.0-litre, 140 kW / 400 Nm) and BMW 318d (2.0-litre, 110 kW / 320 Nm).

A new-generation six-cylinder in- line diesel engine powers the new BMW 330d Sedan (3.0-litre, 195 kW / 580 Nm). And the addition of units with four cylinders, six cylinders and BMW eDrive technology bring further variety to the range.

ON A MISSION.

THE ALL-NEW BMW X3.

FROM $89,990*.

Whatever your mission, the all-new BMW X3 takes charge with its advanced connectivity, intelligent driver assistance systems and BMW’s class-leading xDrive all-wheel drive system. Book your test drive at Christchurch BMW today.

“The Mercedes-Benz A-Class takes aim at the premium hatchback segment with enhanced safety featuresand segment leading infotainment systems, while the latest Subaru Forester delivers on its boast to upgrade your fun with its revitalised new 136kW engine and more efficient CVT gearbox.

“Suzuki deserves praise for raising the bar by delivering a well-balanced compromise between driving fun and everyday practicality with its Swift Sport, while Volvo’s first entry into the crowded premier compact SUV market with the XC40 is roomy and practical and a quiet cruiser on the motorway,” Dobson said.

AA motoring services general manager Stella Stocks said the next stage of judging is part of what makes the awards the country’s most comprehensive.

“Each of the top 10 COTY finalists is put through its paces in a rigorous trial both on the road and at the Pukekohe Park Raceway with set exercises that see all judges scoring from the driver’s seat.

“To top it off, for the first time Kiwis will be able to see what went on in the testing process with video content from the trials and behind the scenes interviews with the judges.

“We are confident that the AA Driven New Zealand Car of the Year Awards will give the definitive answers on which car has truly swept all competition before it, and provide motorists with the sage advice they’ve come to expect from the AA,” Stocks added.

en vehicles will duke it out to be named as the first AA Driven New Zealand Car of the Year.

The finalists for the prestigious award were named this week, with the winner being announced in December.

The 10 models are the Holden Commodore CalaisV wagon, Hyundai i30N hatch, Hyundai Santa Fe SUV, Hyundai Kona compact SUV, Kia Stinger sportback, Mazda CX-8 SUV, Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatch, Subaru Forester SUV, Suzuki Swift Sport hatch, and the Volvo XC40 compact SUV. A panel of nine motoring journalists selected the top 10 vehicles, with the criteria being that the new models had to be on sale in New Zealand from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018.

Chief Judge and Driven’s Editor at Large Liz Dobson said the quality of each of the vehicles considered by the panel was impressive.

“Each of the top 10 contenders deserves its place on the list,” she said.

“The Holden Commodore wagon is a new take on a Holden icon with unprecedented levels of safety and a brilliant driving experience.

“Hyundai’s i30N was a pitch perfect first attempt, while the Santa Fe has a huge and impressive list of safety features for potential buyers who are looking for a family vehicle.

“The Kona may be Hyundai’s first compact urban SUV, but its technology and looks made it seem like it’s been part of the model line-up for years.

“The Kia Stinger is slickly styled, very quick off the mark and well-priced and feels like the sequel to Australia’s ocker rear-wheel drive sports sedans that we never had, while the Mazda CX-8’s first sign of feel-good is when you start its 2.2 litre turbo-diesel engine a refined, frugal unit

Rio revisited

W

ith all the excitement of the Carnavale, Kia’s little Rio has been revitalised to meet the demands of a market becoming evermore sophisticated.

A repositioning of the model line-up with new drivetrains and two new trim levels puts the Rio back at the top of the mix in the ultra-competitive light car segment.

The Si and SLi models have been discontinued, replaced by the new Sport level trim which is highlighted by a 6-speed automatic in place of the previous 4-speed box and the top-of-the-range GT-Line with a goody-bag of special features led by the perky 1.0-litre turbo coupled to Kia’s in-house 7-speed dual clutch transmission.

“The Rio has always been a foundation stone of the Kia brand and remains so with this latest range of improvements,” Kia Motors Australia Chief Operating Officer Damien Meredith said.

“Competition in this segment is

extremely tough but we have continued to listen to what our customers and the industry commentators say and made improvements based on that feedback.”

Mr Meredith said that the improvements to the Rio – coupled to Kia’s industry-leading 7 Year Warranty, 7 Year Capped Price Servicing and 7 Year Roadside Assist – have kept the Rio as a compelling option for light car buyers.

The new Rio range starts with an unchanged entry level S model with the 74kW 1.4-litre petrol engine coupled to either a 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.

Standard features on the S include ABS, ESC, VSM (vehicle stability management), reverse parking sensors, rearview camera, three child restraint points (two ISOFIX), six airbags, six-speaker sound system with Bluetooth, Apple Carplay and Android Auto compatibility.

The top-spec Rio will be easily identifiable on the road through a GT-Line body kit, LED Daytime Running Lights, LED Position Lamps, LED rear combination lamps and LED fog lamps.

Sleek. Eye-catchingly so.

T

his smart-looking new A200 is the first of a the new range of Mercedes A-Class compact (similar size to Corolla/Mazda3) vehicles to arrive.

To follow are the entry level A 180, the 2litre A250 and AMG versions.

It has a very smart looking, areodynamically efficient body complete with slimline LED headlights and 18inch alloys that sit on a new longer, wider platform.

It proved to be quite a headturner in its bright Jupiter red, and that’s maybe a hint of the avant-garde styling of the dashboard.

This is really something! And for which you will normally have to pay much more money to get – like a $100,000 plus for an E Class!

There’s easy access into the plush cabin, both front and rear.

Seated, the driver and front passenger can really appreciate the quite amazing looks of the large, colourful,digital touchscreen that extends from centre dash to almost the drivers door.

Turned on it provides a decidedly attractive spectacle as you survey it from the leather-clad, sports-style front seats with their high contoured backs and built in head rests.

The screen colours and instrument setup can be changed, and that’s done either by calling ‘Hey Mercedes’ (see below) or by the touch-pads mounted between the seats or on the steering-wheel.

It really is more like being in a luxury car with all the multiude of info and individual driver’s personal settings that can be saved.

Saying “Hey Mercedes” activates the

intelligent voice control component of the so called MBUX system.

Then issue instructions to “her” to do a multitude of things – like change the ambient lighting, make phone calls, navigate the airwaves and terrain, change the climate settings, seat adjustment and even select your driving mode.

The advantage of Hey Mercedes is that it’s not the human who has to adapt to the machine, but the other way round, which she (Mercedes is of course female) does very well, most of the time.

Smart stuff under the bonnet also, with a remarkably punchy 1.33 litre turbopetrol and very quick acting double-clutch gearbox driving the front wheels.

This sweet engine produces 120 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque at 1600rpm, which in itself is impressive given what like-sized engines were producing a decade or so ago.

As well the driver has the choice of various modes, comfort, economy and sports to change the engine and auto’s responses.

Its fine when left in “comfort” because this keen engines peak torque is quickly on hand, so acceleration is both smooth and quick with the double-clutch gearbox choosing the exact moment to change so as to get the most from the engine.

The stated 0-100kmh sprint (in sports mode) is 8 seconds, while that for fuel economy (using premium 95 RON+) is just 5.7L per 100 km.

For general running the low sixes were indicated.

A door-to-door figure, Ashburton to Armstrong-Prestige in Christchurch, was 5.8l/100km.

MERCEDES BENZ A200 Roger Hart

ROAD TEST

■ Most people will be perfectly content with this performance. But for those who need more, the A250 is coming!

With its standard suspension set-up of front MacPherson struts and torsion bar rear (a multi-link rear is optional) the A200 feels settled on the open road and supple about our varied town road surfaces.

Then its nimble, nicely balanced and predictable in the twisty stuff, where the sensitive, accurate steering builds up in weight through corners, but then lightens up for around town duties, where the ride was generally very good particlarly in comfort mode.

The selectable sport setting is firm enough, but not too much so. There is some tyre noise on coarser chip.

Oh yes there’s plenty of space in the front and two standard size adults were happy in the rear.

Good luggage space of 370 litres (or 1210 litres back seats down) also, and easily loaded via the high rising hatch.

But you do forgo a spare wheel, instead there’s a puncture kit and pump.

There’s a host of standard safety equipment including nine air bags, semi-autonomous braking, active parking/lane keep/ blind spot assist.

Cruise control however is not adaptive.

PS - At the other end of the economy and performance scale is Mercedes’ fastest SUV, the AMG GLC 63 S 4MATIC. The 4-litre, bi-turbo V8 delivers 375kW from (5500 to 6250rpm) and 700Nm of torque from (1750 to 4500rpm). This in conjunction with its 9-speed auto means it rockets from 0-100km/h in a super-car like 3.8 seconds.

Which this all singing, all dancing SUV, can

Black on black

I

t’s well documented of course that the DeLorean DMC-12 from the beloved Back to the Future film franchise was a total bucket of bolts.

It might’ve packed supercar looks and a vaguely supercarish price-tag when it eventually emerged on the market, but its Peugeot-Renault-Volvo (PRV) 2.8-litre V6 engine was only good for a wheezing 97kW – just seven kilowatts more than a Toyota Prius Prime.

Not to mention it was poorly built, unreliable, and could be had with a threespeed automatic.

Because of these things, I’m forced to concede that the coolest vehicle in BTTF was actually the 1985 Toyota Hilux SR-5 4x4.

It didn’t exactly have a starring role in any of the flicks, but Marty McFly’s dream rig was a tough looking thing all the same.

Black on black on black, lifted, fog lights ... enough for it to obtain cult-classic status (to the point where you can even buy a Hot Wheels version today).

It was inevitable that Toyota would cash in on the ute at some point.

In 2016 at the Washington Auto Show they revealed a Tacoma ute featuring similar wheels, fog lights, and blacked-out sports and bull bars.

But, that was just a concept.

This new Hilux on the other hand, is a reality.

It’s called the Invincible 50, and it’s just been announced for the UK market as a celebration of the popular model’s 50th anniversary. And although there aren’t any direct ties in its naming or marketing to the Back to the Future franchise, it’s not out of the question that it was inspired by the movie trilogy.

Black 16” wheels are wrapped in macho painted 265/75 BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres, with wider fenders helping accommodate the larger rubber.

A vast jungle gym of a sports bar is painted black, and forms the mounting points for a row of four Vision X LED highoutput overhead fog lights.

Beefed up looks are backed up by improved articulation and increased ground clearance (40mm up front, 20mm down the back).

These elements have been tinkered with

by Icelandic off-roading experts Arctic Trucks and by Bilstein.

You might recall Arctic Trucks and their special lifted Hiluxes from previous Top Gear episodes.

In short, when it comes to honing a vehicle for off-road abuse, they know what they’re doing.

Now, before you dust off the chequebook and run down to your local Toyota dealership, know that this isn’t likely to appear in New Zealand any time soon.

None of Toyota’s previous Invincible models have ever been offered on either side of the Tasman, and it’s doubtful that that’s going to change soon.

It’s worth noting that the Invincible 50 is built on the European-spec Hilux, which comes equipped with a 2.4-litre fourcylinder turbo diesel – as opposed to the 2.8-litre that we get here.

Just 50 of them are being made in total, so there’s every chance that they’re all accounted for at the time of writing (even though pricing hasn’t been confirmed yet).

But, there’s nothing stopping you from giving yours a respray, grabbing some aftermarket wheels and fog lights, and living out your Marty McFly dreams ...

Tough and practical W

hen I first reviewed an eZee Sprint in the early days of this site, I likened it to a Hilux Ute. To extend that metaphor, the Hilux just got an automatic gearbox and aircon.

It’s still the lovable tough ute, and just as the Top Gear crew tried to destroy a Hilux, my review bike survived a similar attempt at destruction by a Hamilton bogan with hardly a scratch.

So what’s different?

Well better brakes for a start.

They are really good.

Well modulated and powerful, and hydraulic so no adjustments are needed.

The chain also requires no maintenance, because the rear wheel is fixed and there is a chain tensioner.

The chain looks like it will survive a nuclear holocaust.

The Alfine rear hub is much nicer than the cheaper Nexus hub; you need to ride them to appreciate the difference.

The one thing that defines this model though is the torque sensor.

It now pulls off smoothly even in top power setting and allows you to modulate power through your feet.

I found that I never really had to adjust the power setting.

What’s more is that the display is useful and gives an accurate indication of battery level, so no more red-LED-induced range anxiety.

If you buy the T4 and decide you don’t like Torque mode, there is a hidden cadence sensor mode too (it involves a bit of poking around in menus).

It would be nice if eZee made it easily switchable like Smartmotion has done.

The same Sprint virtues remain – tough of course, but practical.

It has a low step-through frame, a useable throttle and a genuinely one-size-fitsall design.

I’m over 6-foot and ElectricMeg is a bit more than 5-foot; we both fit the same bike.

The stock battery is 19Ah (684Wh) and you can get up to 34Ah (1224Wh).

Take that Bosch and your measly 500Wh! Then you get arguably the most practical stand, quality components, useable lights, puncture-resistant tyres, go-forever wheels, built-in locking and in general, a built and specification that ‘just works’.

The forks are still awful (you can thank the front wheel motor for that) but appeared thicker than on the Classic.

e-bike reviews are courtesy of NZ Electric Bike Review

In my interview with Wai Won Ching he reckoned the battery design will be with them forever, so you’ll always be able to get a new one down the line.

There is a reason why the Sprint is the fleet bike of choice, and equally the choice of many commuters who demand practicality, maintainability and long life over fancy features and aesthetics (let’s be honest: this isn’t the bike people will coo over).

Compared to the ‘classic’ Sprint the T4 is a little slower (perhaps 32km/h) but has more grunt up hills.

These are the attributes favoured by typical Sprint buyers.

On the Grafton Gully test, it was similar to the Classic (but I had a headwind), and up Liverpool St it was credible, limited mainly by traction – the front wheel was chirruping on the steep bits.

When we rode the Hamilton-Ngauruwahia ride, the T4 was consistently faster up hills than the Classic.

At $4250 RRP this is $900 more than the classic.

I think the upgrades are worthwhile – it

really is easier to ride and feels a whole lot more sophisticated.

Who is this bike for?

Commuters who demand the most practical conveyance Fleet owners who want ease of maintenance and robustness

Shazza is one cool cat!

Meet three-year-old Shazza, she’s so chilled out that she ends up in all sorts of positions.

Originally from Australia (hence the name), Shazza is loving, friendly and too fat to catch mice. She gets a bit of a wobble on when she runs, so it’s not productive. Her parents even had to install an extra-large cat door. She and Bonnie the dog (above) are besties and her mum reckons she is so tolerant of Bonnie’s antics and just puts up with it – anything for a bit of love. TOP CENTRE: Every morning, Shazza tries some slow-motion breakfast stealing and lives in hope that the breakfast’s owner will not see her this time.

the egg in a shallow bowl and season. Place the flour on one plate and the breadcrumbs on another. Place one chop in the flour, dusting off excess, then dip in the egg and finally the breadcrumbs, pressing them on so the chop is well coated. Place in the roasting dish. Repeat with remaining chops. Drizzle with the oil, cover dish with foil and place in the oven to cook for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, turn chops over and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes.

■ Spinach and pea risotto: While the chops are cooking, make the risotto. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy-based saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook over a low heat until they are soft but not coloured. Add the rice and stir until the rice is well coated with oil.

■ Add 1C of hot stock and stir. Allow risotto to cook and the stock

to be almost completely absorbed by the rice before adding a further 1C of stock. Continue adding stock and stirring frequently until the rice is almost cooked, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

■ Add the spinach and peas along with more stock and cook until the rice is tender and creamy, about 5 minutes.

■ To serve: Spoon risotto into shallow bowls and top with a lamb loin chop. Squeeze over some lemon juice and sprinkle with mint.

Show shines spotlight on district O

ne of the biggest social events on the Mid Canterbury calendar kicks off today when the gates open on the 141st edition of the Ashburton Agricultural and Pastoral Show at the Ashburton Showgrounds.

The show is an event which sees our district on show, from the wide-ranging agricultural aspects right down to locally owned and operated businesses of a completely different nature – the show gives everyone an opportunity to showcase what they are up to.

Thousands of people will flock through the gates of the showgrounds to check out what the 2018 edition has to offer and the

group behind the two days of events have again been working hard to have everything in readiness.

We’re incredibly lucky to have a hard-working, dedicated team of volunteers behind the scenes who put their all into two days of each year to ensure that everyone who walks through the gates has an enjoyable experience.

And it’s up to us as a community to get behind them as an organisation and support all their hard work.

But the show isn’t just about wandering around looking at stalls and eating candy floss.

For many the two days are about catching up with old friends, talking with like-minded people and for everyone who holds a site – it’s a chance to showcase their abilities and give an insight into what they can offer the everyday Mid Cantabrian.

We’re no different to that here at the Guardian either.

We will be on hand over the next two days at our tent, giving the community a little more of

California killed five firefighters (investigators later determined the cause of the blaze was arson).

Ten years ago: US military helicopters launched a rare attack on Syrian territory, killing eight people in a strike Damascus condemned as “serious aggression”.

Five years ago: A Phoenix man went on a rampage, shooting to death four members of a family who lived next door to him, along with their two dogs, before turning the gun on himself; authorities speculated that the incessant noise of

barking dogs drove Michael Guzzo to kill.

One year ago: President Donald Trump declared opioid abuse a national public health emergency and announced new steps to combat what he described as the worst drug crisis in US history. At the request of the FBI and CIA, the president blocked the release of hundreds of records on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy while allowing 2800 other files to come out.

an insight into what we do as a business and what we’re trying to achieve.

But the opportunity for us doesn’t just end there.

We really value and enjoy the opportunity to be able to speak to people about what is going on within our district. And we relish any chance we get to have a conversation with someone from within our boundaries, and those further afield, about what might be bothering them, or what they’re concerned about from a district point of view.

Over the course of the two days we’ll have a member of the editorial department on hand at our site to chat with anyone who

wants to talk. So, please do pop in and say hello. Tell us what you like about what we’re doing on a day-to-day basis in the Guardian and similarly tell us what you might not like.

We’re open to hearing any and all suggestions – this is your daily newspaper after all and we want it to be everything you need in an information source and more.

We hope we get the chance to catch up over the next two days as you all enjoy the show.

Judging by the amount of work that’s gone in to getting things organised behind the scenes, it’s sure to be another great instalment.

Hammering in Hanmer W

hen is a suitable or acceptable time to get an e bike?

We had a fabulous long weekend in Hanmer and it didn’t involve the overpriced hot pools at all.

We did go there though, with the idea of the kids having a swim and the big kids having a hydroslide.

But there was a queue, not just out the door but 30 metres down the street as well.

Bugger that for a game of soldiers we thought and off we went to the local domain for a swing and a slide.

The weather was stunning, perfect (apparently) for mountain biking up tracks, that some of those tahr that the government are keen on culling, would look twice at.

Some people, like our receptionist Mel Spice, say they love the uphill grind and the burn in the thighs. I DO NOT! I am a downhill expert and when I say expert, I mean I enjoy it.

I’m guessing my motor has something to do with things, I’m sure a V8 goes much better downhill than up?

The tracks in Hanmer are pretty cool and there is something there to suit all abilities.

I must admit, once we finished some of the advanced tracks, I was kind of chuffed.

Unlike my younger and fitter brothers-in-law.

I am very much an intermediate rider so to step up to the advanced tracks a couple of times was a bit of a buzz. I think the boys enjoyed it as well, mainly because it gave them more ‘waiting for Phill’ resting time.

So as well as the halfway up the track ‘What the hell am I doing’ thoughts I had. If I want to keep up with the lads, apart from slipping a lengthy bungy cord onto the back of their

bikes, an e bike is probably my next option.

Yeah I know there are lots of people older than me out there caning it on bikes. I know I’m not going to get the same workout with an e bike.

BUT I’m probably gonna enjoy it a whole lot more and therefore do it a whole lot more, therefore compensating for the reduction in workoutness.

Quantity over quality! Did that make any sense at all?

An e bike purchase does raise some questions though.

Will the beer still taste as good afterwards? When I say afterwards, I mean once I have stopped gasping for breath enough to swallow safely.

Would I be able to look at my Strava and see 80kms of biking for the weekend and feel a sense of achievement?

The answers, beer tastes good anytime and if you have enough of them you won’t give a rats about your Strava anyway.

Although my 50th birthday is just days away, my inner athlete is telling me it’s too early to be considering an e bike purchase.

Well that and our bank balance!

Dementia awareness On behalf of the Ashburton Pakeke Lions Club I would like to sincerely thank the sponsors who very generously donated goods and services for our fund-raising Dementia Awareness Breakfast held last Friday morning, October 19.

Thank you also to the Hotel Ashburton staff for their help in enabling us to run a very successful and informative event.

A full house listened with intent interest to our speakers; Hamish Riach, Darral Campbell and Lee Andrews from Dementia Canterbury and keynote speaker, Greg Kelly.

Greg is an Australian with early onset dementia who is riding his Harley-Davidson around Australia, New Zealand, United States of America and the United Kingdom to highlight dementia.

His speech was received with a standing ovation and made those present very aware of the consequences of this disease and what can be done to try and alleviate

problems which sufferers face.

An auction following the breakfast raised a considerable amount of funds which will be used to help those with the disease and their carers.

And thank you to auctioneer, Roger Letham who gave freely of his time.

Last, but not least, I thank my committee for their hard work putting this function together for the benefit of our community in Mid Canterbury.

Ron Paterson, president Ashburton Pakeke Lions Charitable Club

In brief

■ RENTAL PROPERTIES

Landlords want ‘three strikes’ New Zealand’s 1.5 million tenants in the country’s 546,000 rental properties could be subject to a new three strikes pre-eviction policy under a proposal from the country’s largest landlord group.

Andrew King, NZ Property Investors Federation executive director, said faced with the Government axing the 90-day tenant evictions, landlords should be allowed to invoke a three strikes policy against renters by giving two initial warnings, then a 90day notice period.

He made his organisation’s submission on the Residential Tenancies Act reform, proposed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, saying an alternative was needed if the 90day eviction rights ended.

Currently, tenants on a periodic or no-fixed-term rental agreement must give 21 days notice and landlords 90 days, or 42 days if they are selling.

But tenant advocates say the three strikes proposal would cause considerable disruption to renters and their families.

“We want to move towards far greater genuine security for tenants and we need to reduce landlords’ ability to evict tenants from their homes,” said Kate Day of Renters United.

“We want to preserve their stability of tenure.

“Andrew’s proposal of three strikes immediately makes you think of the three strikes legislation,” she said referring to criminal law for serious offenders.

King had previously argued a minority of landlords used the 90-

day notice period “so we consider it inconsistent to keep arguing for something that a low number of landlords use”, Day said.

Last year, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said: “Labour is committed to restoring the Kiwi dream of owning your own place.

“We also recognise that longterm renting has become a reality for more families, but the current law creates instability and insecurity for many.

“We are going to fix this. We want our rental system to be fair

and take away stress for both tenants and landlords.”

Landlords would still be able to terminate tenancies for just cause, she said. But the 90-day notice period would go.

King said if it had to be axed, landlords wanted an alternative to going to the Tenancy Tribunal.

“If the Government still believes that the 90-day no-cause notice has to be removed, then a potentially acceptable proposition is to introduce a three strikes, no-stated-reason, 90-day notice,” King wrote.

The ministry discussion document says: “After removing the ability for landlords to issue a 90day notice without reason, landlords would have to give tenants an opportunity to stop their bad behaviour then if they don’t, apply to the Tenancy Tribunal”.

The ministry document cited harassment, intimidation, verbal abuse, intimidating other tenants or neighbours, and sustained noise as examples of what could be included in the law as unacceptable behaviours.

Investors kept on their toes

I

t was a turbulent week for markets across the board, as concerns about US earnings, Italian government finances and escalating trade tensions saw risk aversion return.

Geopolitical tensions also grew as investors remain attuned to developments of the death of Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist killed in Saudi’s consulate in Istanbul.

China’s recent stock market troubles and Britain’s efforts to exit the EU have also kept investors on their toes.

US markets saw a sharp selloff prior to the closing bell on Wednesday, erasing year-to-date gains for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones, while the Nasdaq finished in correction territory, as the latest round of earnings failed to impress the market.

The Dow Jones tumbled more than 600 points, while the Nasdaq is now 12.6 per cent below its August high.

A correction is often defined as a pullback of at least 10 per cent.

Adding to the negative sentiment was the US Commerce Department, which showed a drop in new home sales for September, which saw a drop of 5.5 per cent.

Back home, the NZX 50 followed global peers lower and is trading back at levels last seen in May, wiping out the past five months of gains.

There was also a slew of corporate announcements this week, giving local investors plenty to digest.

The Munich Regional Court found Fisher & Paykel Healthcare had breached a patent held by ResMed.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

national dairy markets and the uncertainty surrounding international trade.

The share price remains up 13 per cent this year.

Off the main index, SLI Systems received a takeover notice from Texas software investor, ESW Holdings.

ESW has offered to acquire all SLI shares for a price of not less than 63 cents per share.

The bid values SLI at over $40m, more than double the company’s market value at the close of business on Friday.

Shares of SLI surged 86.7 per cent to close at 56 cents following the announcement.

Steel and Tube was fined after making misleading representations about its steel mesh products that didn’t meet testing standards.

The company was fined $1.89m on 24 charges under the Fair Trading Act, and noted the fine won’t impact financial results in the 2019 year.

Meanwhile, European markets fell to their lowest levels since late 2016 as concerns over Italy’s budget weighed on investor sentiment.

The European Commission has told Italy that it must revise its budget proposal. The Commission is worried about the impact of higher spending on already high levels of debt in Italy, the eurozone’s third-biggest economy.

The decision can be appealed to the Higher Regional Court Munich, and will be deemed invalid if an earlier appeal to the European Patent Office is upheld.

The company said it will not impact the sale or supply of the affected masks.

F&P closed down 4.42 per cent on the news.

Tourism Holdings (THL) announced the possible sale of some of its tourism businesses amid fears confidentiality may have been breached whilst in discussions with third parties.

THL is in discussions regarding its Kiwi Experience business and some of the Discover Waitomo businesses including Black Water Rafting, Ruakuri and the Waitomo Homestead, however it was noted the Waitomo Glow Worm Cave business is not included as an asset for sale.

The discussions remain incomplete and the company expects to provide more information in November or December.

Skellerup Holdings announced it delivered a record performance in FY18, with NPAT up 23 per cent.

The company expects an Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Inimprovement in profitability in vestment Partners.

■ STRETCHING RESOURCES

In brief

Big day for Sharrock stable Allan Sharrock is stretching his resources like never before but is hoping for a landmark weekend of success as he produces runners in stakes races at three different venues for the first time in his career this weekend.

The New Plymouth trainer is in Melbourne putting the finishing polish on Gr.1 Auckland Cup (3200m) winner Ladies First ahead of tomorrow’s Gr.2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup (2500m), while back home London Express tackles the Gr.3 Partners Life Soliloquy Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie and Art Deco contests the Gr.3 Gee & Hickton Thompson Handicap (1600m) at Trentham.

“We’re a bit stretched and Kane [Sharrock, son and stable foreman] is under the pump but they’ve all worked well this week and we’re hoping to make our presence felt everywhere,” Sharrock said.

Former stable apprentice and champion jockey Michael Walker takes the ride on Ladies First in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup from barrier one and was aboard in her trackwork at Tuesday’s Breakfast with the Stars session at Moonee Valley.

“Michael had no knock on her work at all. She handled the Valley just fine.

“She looks really good and she’s fit,” Sharrock said.

“I’d liken her condition to how she was before the Auckland Cup. “We think she’ll be at her optimum for Saturday but whether that’s good enough, we’ll find out.

“We’ve just had the misfortune to come up against one of the strongest Moonee Valley Cup fields in years.

“They had seven last year but this year it’s a full field of 15 and three emergencies.

“She should get a soft enough

Guineas for Dawn Patrol Unbeaten three-year-old gelding Dawn Patrol will now head to Riccarton next month to contest the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) after pleasing trainer Frank Ritchie in his 1200m trial at Te Aroha yesterday.

“We’ve had a trial and we’re happy,” Ritchie said. “He just had a trial at Te Aroha and ran third to Passing Shot I’m very happy with it. At this stage we are going.

We are happy with the run and I needed to give him something between his last run and the 2000 Guineas. Unless something arises in the next couple of weeks we will be going.”

Humidor ready for Winx Multiple Group One winner Humidor pushed Winx close in last year’s Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) and his connections are hoping he can go one better this year. The New Zealand-bred and part-owned gelding has had a solid preparation leading into Saturday’s feature at Moonee Valley for trainer Darren Weir, which included victory in the Gr.1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield in September. “He’s had a beautiful preparation heading in towards Saturday’s Cox Plate,” Weir Racing stable foreman Jarrod McLean said.

Goddess delivers Michael Walker will be aboard Ladies First in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup tomorrow. run from barrier one and if she could run in the top five we might back up (in the Hotham Handicap) on Derby Day and then get her home for another Auckland Cup preparation in the autumn.

“I couldn’t be any happier with her.

“We’ll see where she sits on Saturday.”

Sharrock was pleased with Listed winner London Express ahead of the Soliloquy Stakes at Ellerslie, the Shamexpress filly’s first start at Group level.

“She won a jumpout at Haw-

era and she worked right-handed on Tuesday and we reckon she goes that way more comfortably than what she does left-handed,” Sharrock said.

“Media Sensation will be hard to beat but we’ll be more than competitive.”

Safely through Saturday’s race, London Express will prepare for the Gr.3 Lucia Valentina Wellington Stakes (1600m) at Otaki on November 30.

Art Deco is nearing the end of her preparation but Sharrock is expecting a typically bold per-

formance from the Road To Rock mare in the Thompson Handicap after Group Three placings at her last two starts.

“She’s super. She could have done with drawing a better barrier [than gate 12] but there’s a bit of rain coming and that would help her too,” Sharrock said.

“She never fails to please us.

“She probably won’t do much more after this.

“She’s had a long campaign but we’ll get her back for the autumn and she’ll probably be off to a stallion next spring.”

■ COX PLATE

Pitman gets green light to travel A cautiously excited Michael Pitman has been given the green light from his surgeon to travel to Melbourne on Friday to watch Savvy Coup contest the Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley.

“I get out of the hospital this afternoon and I’m on a flight first thing tomorrow morning,” Pitman said from hospital yesterday.

“I’m not sure whether it’s the right thing to be doing but that’s what I’m doing. I’ve just got to take it easy and pace myself a bit, but I’ll be right.

“It’s an opportunity not to be missed, it’s just massive.”

Pitman, whose battle with bowel cancer has been well publicised, had surgery on Monday and he has been recuperating in hospital since.

“They kept me in on purpose

Ashburton Guardian 31

for an extra couple of days just to make sure that I was okay and all my vital signs were good, and they are.”

The Christchurch-based trainer is realistic about his mare’s chances against a quality field headlined by superstar mare Winx.

“Honestly a pass mark would be running fifth.

“All up it cost about $65,000 for acceptances, fifth money is $200,000, sixth and seventh is A$100,000 and eighth is $75,000,” he said.

“For a broodmare prospect, it would be massive if she could run second or third in a Cox Plate.

“We’re going into it eyes wide open and this isn’t really our grand finale because we were always going across for either the

MacKinnon Stakes or the Matriarch and it just so happens that the perfect lead in race happens to be a 2000m race at Moonee Valley two weeks before which is the one we are contesting.

“She’s come through her work the other day fantastic and we really couldn’t be happier with her.

We know it’s a massive task but we’re going into it with a horse that we are very happy with.”

When asked how he would feel if the unfathomable did happen, Pitman was quick to show his competitive nature is still intact.

“I wouldn’t be embarrassed to beat Winx,” he said.

“I know it won’t happen but you do think about it and man I’d love to beat Winx, of course I would, you would never be forgotten in the history of the game.”

Pitman will be joined on the flight to Melbourne by his son and co-trainer Matthew, however, his wife Diane is returning to Christchurch to take care of things on the home front.

“Diane’s been over there for the last eight days but she’s flying home because we have a big team in at Riccarton as well,” Pitman said.

Amongst Pitman Racing’s nine runners at Riccarton is last start winner Elfee who is the topweighted horse in the Christchurch Casino Spring Classic.

“She’s just been a revelation since she arrived at our place, 29 starts for us for 28 cheques,” Pitman said. “I’m not going to moan about the fact that she’s the top weight because she’s the best horse in the race.”

Our Sea Goddess, the daughter of seven-time Group One-winning mare Seachange, recorded her first victory at Geelong on Wednesday.

The Lindsay Park-trained fouryear-old was bred by The Oaks Stud principal Dick Karreman and carried the farm’s colours to victory over 1400m in just her second start. The Darci Brahma mare dictated terms throughout and held off a late challenge by Boltoutoftheblue to win by a head. - NZME

Ellerslie re-opening Ellerslie bosses are approaching the long-awaited re-opening of our premier racetrack with no nerves but plenty of excitement. After being closed for seven and a half months the home of Auckland racing is back in business on Saturday with the first meeting since the track had new drains installed around the entire circuit.

While the track was out of action the Auckland Racing Club also built a new stabling area, with the total bill for both over $7 million.

While a new track surface can cause a few nerves, especially after Otaki’s disastrous comeback last Sunday, ARC boss Paul Wilcox says they are confident of a successful start to the summer.

Waller lashes out Chris Waller has hit back at English racing commentator Matt Chapman, who this week questioned the form of legendary Australian mare Winx. At Tuesday’s Cox Plate barrier draw, ITV host Chapman mounted a case for Godolphin raider Benbatl, suggesting that the view abroad was that Winx had been beating ‘fairly moderate horses’ in Australia. Waller took umbrage at the comments, suggesting they were disrespectful and labelling him a ‘bit of a dickhead’ in the process. “For him to stand up and say that, it’s just utter nonsense.”

In brief Salah hits top form Jurgen Klopp hopes the scrutiny over Mohamed Salah’s form will stop after he became the fastest Liverpool player to reach 50 goals.

The Egyptian scored twice in the 4-0 Champions League victory over Red Star Belgrade at Anfield to make it to his half century in only 65 games. Klopp has repeatedly stressed he has not been concerned about Salah’s performances, and said: “It’s an exceptional number, hopefully he can continue.”

Red Star trounced Liverpool stamped their Champions League credentials with a 4-0 win over Red Star Belgrade yesterday, as Angel de Maria scored in added time to rescue a point for Paris Saint Germain against Napoli in the French capital. In Spain, Barcelona beat Inter Milan 2-0 with goals from Rafael Alcantara and Jordi Alba to consolidate their position in Group B, but Tottenham’s hopes were left in tatters after a 2-2 draw at PSV Eindhoven.

Napoli stunned the hosts with goals from Lorenze Insigne (29th) and Dries Mertens (77th).

Come and try petanque

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton MSA Petanque Club is throwing its doors open to the public this weekend in a bid to attract new players.

For the first time in a couple of seasons the club is holding an open day, which will run from 10am until 3pm at the club’s home at 115 Racecourse Road.

Club secretary Marian Harrison said all gear would be provided and club members would be on hand to offer coaching.

“People might want to come for an hour or so, or they might want to stay for the whole day,”

Harrison said yesterday.

She said it was hoped families might head along to see what petanque was all about, because it really was a sport for all ages.

She said it was an easy sport to learn and one that was easy on the body.

“Concentration has got a lot to do with it, and we find a lot of people who have played bowls or golf have a good eye for a line,” Harrison said.

The club just hoped that people would enjoy it and see what current members loved so much about the sport, and come back again.

The Ashburton MSA Petanque Club had been in existence for about five years and after starting off with only around a dozen players, had grown to have more than 40 players on its books today.

The club hosted tournaments and competitions about eight times a year, and while some players headed away to tournaments, most members were just social players.

Three players have been away to South Islands and nationals in recent weeks though, with Richard Browne taking out the South Island singles and doubles title,

with partner Brian Westerbeek.

Over Labour Weekend, Browne and fellow Ashburton players Karen and Neville Bensdorp headed to the nationals in Auckland.

While Browne missed out on the top 16 in the singles, Neville Bensdorp made it through and finished fifth equal in the trophy consolation, to finish 13th overall.

In the doubles, Browne and his Auckland partner and the Bensdorps both made the top 16, as they did in the mixed doubles, where the Bensdorps came third in the trophy consolation and took home a bronze medal.

Leeds have returned to the top of the English Championship as Derby routed West Brom at The Hawthorns yesterday. Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds beat Ipswich 2-0 thanks to goals from Kemar Roofe and Liam Cooper as they went above Middlesbrough and Sheffield United on goal difference at the summit. It was just Leeds’ second win in six outings as they moved up from fifth ahead of Saturday’s visit of Nottingham Forest. Derby demolished West Brom 4-1 at The Hawthorns as Frank Lampard’s side motored into fifth.

Chelsea to accept rap Coach Maurizio Sarri has insisted Chelsea will accept the consequences of his assistant Marco Ianni’s improper conduct charge from the English Football Association.

Chelsea manager Sarri admitted he does not know what punishment Ianni could face, but promised the club would accept any sanction.

Finch bemoans ‘horrific’ Aussie collapse

By MichaEl raMsEy Australian skipper Aaron Finch says he deserves plenty of blame for a woeful T20 loss to Pakistan that he likened to a slow-motion car crash.

Set a gettable target of 156 in Abu Dhabi, the tourists lost six wickets in what Finch described as a “horrific” powerplay on the way to being skittled for 89.

Each of Australia’s top four batsmen were bowled and Chris Lynn (14) was the only member of the top six to reach double digits in a 66-run defeat in which

Australia posted their equal third-lowest total in a T20 international.

Finch started the rot when he was clean-bowled by left-arm spinner Imad Wasim for a thirdball duck while leaning back into an attempted cut shot.

“Opening the batting, it’s my responsibility to get us off to a good start and set up the chase there,” Finch said.

“I take full responsibility for that. I think any time that you’re chasing a total like that it’s important you have a solid start and for me to get out in the first over

and not give us that was not good enough. That powerplay was horrific ... it was like a car crash in slow motion.”

Man of the match Imad also accounted for D’Arcy Short and Alex Carey, finishing with 3-20 in his first national outing in almost a year.

Only a rearguard action led by Nathan Coulter-Nile (34) saved Australia from what had threatened to be a record T20 loss.

Test squad members Mitch Marsh, Nathan Lyon and Peter Siddle were all overlooked for the series-opener, along with Mitch-

ell Starc who is nursing a tight hamstring and almost certain to miss the remainder of the series.

Finch said changes had to be considered for the second T20 in Dubai, which will also host the third and final game on Sunday.

However, Marsh may well be the only inclusion given Australia’s bowlers held up their end of the bargain in restricting Pakistan to 8-155.

Ashton Agar went wicketless and could be vulnerable should offspinner Lyon come into the frame for just his second T20 international.

In brief Life ban for Bruyneel Lance Armstrong’s former cycling team manager Johan Bruyneel was banned from the sport for life on Wednesday after a successful appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The 54-year-old Belgian was initially banned for 10 years in 2014 by the American Arbitration Association North American Court of Arbitration for Sport (AAA) for helping orchestrate an elaborate doping programme that helped Armstrong to seven Tour de France titles. CAS also said doctor Pedro Celaya was handed a lifetime ban while trainer Jose “Pepe” Marti had his period of ineligibility increased to 15 years from eight.

Ref gets a holiday The referee at the heart of the Melbourne derby penalty blunder has been given a week off from A-League duties. Kurt Ams, who awarded a turning-point penalty after video review to Melbourne City in their 2-1 defeat of Melbourne Victory, wasn’t among the officials named for round two of the new season.

Whether by design or otherwise, Ams’ omission fulfils the desire of ex-Socceroo Mark Bosnich to see referees benched for poor performance. A-League chief Greg O’Rourke admitted the referee’s mistake after the match.

Carter resigns Olympic gold medallist Hamish Carter has resigned as High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) Campaign Consultant Manager after it was revealed that he had passed on confidential documents from the 2016 Olympic Games campaign debrief.

The Cycling New Zealand review conducted by Michael Heron QC detailed that the leak of information to the media came from a person who had access to former CNZ track sprint coach Anthony Peden’s house.

That information, in turn, had been provided to the coach in error by an HPSNZ staff member.

Sources said that Carter was the source of the leak, with one stating it was done “naively”.

Yesterday, Carter admitted responsibility and stood down from his role.

“As I told Mr Heron in the Cycling NZ review, I did provide confidential interviews to Mr Peden. I accept full responsibility for that genuine mistake.

“I want to take this opportunity to sincerely apologise to those athletes and staff affected by my error.

“I want to assure all athletes and other stakeholders with whom I have worked over the years that my overarching priority has always been to support them and their success.

HPSNZ Chief Executive Michael Scott said Carter made the decision of his own accord.

“There has been no agreement or settlement between us relating to Hamish’s decision to leave HPSNZ and we want to be clear that Hamish has made this decision on his own account.

“In accepting the resignation, HPSNZ would like to recognise Hamish’s contribution to the organisation since joining in 2013 and acknowledge the honesty and integrity he has shown in responding to the report by Michael Heron QC.” - NZME

Jazz grab road win over Rockets Joe Ingles played a support role as young gun Donovan Mitchell grabbed 38 points in a confidence-boosting 100-98 Utah Jazz victory of NBA western conference rivals Houston Rockets.

Beaten 4-1 by the Rockets in last season’s conference semi-finals, the Jazz took advantage of Chris

Paul’s suspension and fellow star James Harden’s late injury exit as they bagged a road win.

Australian starter Ingles scored 11 points, including three 3-pointers from six attempts, to go with six rebounds and three assists as guard Donovan dominated the Jazz scoring.

Whincup buys into Triple Eight

By Ben McKay Jamie Whincup has bought into the team he has piloted to seven championships, becoming a minority owner of Supercars outfit Triple Eight.

“The guys and girls at Triple Eight are like family to me and if it’s my choice, I will keep racing with them until I am 80 years old,” he said.

“My motivation to be a team owner has risen from the fact I simply love the concept of motorsport.

“I want to ensure that I’m still racing well after my driving career.”

Since joining the team in 2006, Whincup has claimed 113 race wins – the most in Supercars history – in the Triple Eight Commodore.

The team, founded by Roland Dane back in 2003, now counts Dane, Tim Miles, Paul Dumbrell, Jessica Dane and Whincup as owners after the Brit opened up his outfit to minority stakeholders three years ago.

“Jamie and I have been working on a plan for him to come into the business side of the team for a few years, so to see this start to come to fruition now is very satisfying,” Dane said.

“I’ve no doubt he’ll put every effort into learning as much as he can about the running of Triple Eight to make sure that his contribution is valuable.”

Whincup, 35, has a driving contract to the end of 2019 but has signalled he wants to continue in the seat full-time for at least another two years.

As Whincup consolidates his role in the sport, speculation continues to rage around Craig Lowndes’ position.

The 44-year-old announced his intention to step back from full-time driving at the end of this season, but then rolled back the years to win the Bathurst 1000 earlier this month and carried the Enduro Cup with Steven Richards for good measure.

That performance would suggest Lowndes has race-winning efforts left in him, but there’s been no firm announcement of future plans.

As it presently stands, Lowndes would race as a co-driver to either Whincup or Shane van Gisbergen at the three endurance events in 2019.

Harden had scored 29 points when he headed straight to the locker room midway through the game’s last quarter, while NBA veteran Carmelo Anthony produced a season-high 22 for the Rockets.

Boosted by the off-season acquisition of Kawhi Leonard, the

Leonard scored 35 points and added five rebounds as the Raptors took their record to 5-0 with a 112-105 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Kyle Lowry had his third con-

secutive double-double for the eastern conference heavyweights with an impressive 13 points and 10 assists.

Jonas Valanciunas added 16 points and nine rebounds, Serge Ibaka scored 15 points and Norman Powell added a valuable 10 points.

TRADES, SERVICES

Shock selections Far from naming a predictable team for the third Bledisloe Cup test against the Wallabies in Yokohama on Saturday, the All Blacks selectors have thrown a few surprises into the mix, the biggest one the naming of Damian McKenzie at fullback.

It will be a welcome return to the game for the little 23-year-old, who hasn’t played since coming off the reserves bench to fullback for the final, frantic, minutes of the defeat to the Springboks in Wellington six weeks ago.

He was included in the extended squad to play Argentina in Buenos Aires but flew back to New Zealand following a family bereavement, and while he travelled to South Africa for the return test against the Boks it was decided that due to the travel he had undertaken it wouldn’t be appropriate to play him.

The best way to use McKenzie’s pace and counterattacking talents has clearly evolved in the minds of the selectors in relation to the development of first-five Richie Mo’unga.

Until Mo’unga’s rise at the Crusaders and, latterly the All Blacks, McKenzie was seen as a No.10 who could play at fullback (a bit like Beauden Barrett, in fact).

McKenzie played a whole season at the Chiefs in the No.10 jersey following the departure of Aaron Cruden and that was where he seemed set, but such has been Mo’unga’s impact – and he has again been named as Barrett’s back-up in Yokohama – that clearly the selectors have modified their thinking.

It will now be up to the Chiefs player to work his way into a big test from the first whistle rather than exploit tiring defences off the bench in the second half.

Should he do so then he will quickly become a genuine option for the 15 jersey because it’s clear that Jordie Barrett, still only 21, has a bit of developing to do yet in terms of his test career.

The major casualty here is probably right wing Waisake Naholo – not included in the squad after a couple of quiet tests against the Springboks in Pretoria and Argentina in Buenos Aires.

Ben Smith will wear the 14 jersey, with Rieko Ioane predictably named on the left

You have a gift for getting to the point. This is an act of character and strength.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Today it seems possible to be younger in every area of life. Youth is small, so gravity goes easy on it. Live the levity you feel, and if you don’t feel it, imagine it and live that.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Trying to do things the “right way” is, in a sense, moving the power to the thing that is telling you what the “right way” is. The thing is often correct but not always.

It’s a good time to check it.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The move that puts you ahead today is a move toward information. Inform yourself, as this will put you in a position of choice, while those who don’t know will default to one way or method.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll provide a kind, welcoming face to those who normally may not have such a thing in their realm. This is will be your gift to the world and also, because of what it elicits in others, your take from it.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You don’t have to be consistently one way to succeed. Loved ones are intrigued by your many facets and moods. Your determination and ambition seem to wax and wane with the moon and the tides.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Mother said, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

Discretion serves everyone well but it’s also possible to get somewhere by shaking things up. Your charm and will be amusedly received.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Like attracts like. Use the principle to guide and inform yourself.

For instance, those attracted to the troubled, intelligent types are most likely troubled and intelligent. Call it what it is.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll enjoy lo-fi fun and down-to-earth delights. As your sign-mate Humphrey Bogart once said, “A hot dog at the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz.”

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Whatever you’re doing, don’t stop. What you need now more than anything else is momentum. Getting into the flow of motion will begin any number of exciting happenings.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Is there a sincerer love than the love of food? You’ll challenge the premise in your own way today and in the process take a probing look at your relationship with your sustenance.

WEDNESDAY WARRIORS

Riders made the most of a perfect spring night on Wednesday and hit the road for the second of the Tinwald Cycling Club’s mid-week races of the season. The races are held on Wednesday nights on Fords Road and are a 16km ride designed to give people the opportunity to learn the art of riding in bunches. The Wednesday night rides are organised by a group of enthusiastic cyclists.

Big pre-test blow for the Wallabies The late withdrawal of top lock Adam Coleman complicated the jigsaw pieces that the Wallabies shuffled to search for a winning formula against the All Blacks in Yokohama tomorrow.

A recall for Sefa Naivalu on the wing, Taniela Tupou shuffling to the bench, an emergency centre role for Israel Folau and comebacks in the reserves after long-

term injuries were announced by coach Michael Cheika.

All the tweaks make solid sense but having skilful names on paper has never been the problem against the Kiwis this year when poor concentration and soft regrouping in defence have killed the Wallabies.

The jolt that the Wallabies didn’t need arrived when Coleman suc-

cumbed to a groin niggle he has carried through the training week in Tokyo.

It is frustrating deja vu but he plays with such full-on force you have to expect such blips just as he was a late withdrawal with thumb damage before the test against England at Twickenham last November.

Veteran Rob Simmons steps in

and the vigour he showed in the upset of the All Blacks at Suncorp Stadium a year ago is what is needed again for the Wallabies.

Speedster “Super Sefa” has won his first test opportunity in 16 months to fill the hole left on the wing because Folau has been switched to outside centre on a fill-in basis.

Naivalu has the fastest wheels

in the Wallabies backline and showed them too with two tries against Italy in Brisbane last year before a cruel ankle injury forced him off during the test.

Folau is confident that he can handle the heat of the All Blacks’ attack in Yokohama on Saturday after being selected at outside centre for the first time for his 70th test.
