i-SITE closure a done deal BY SUE NEWMAN

THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

A five hundred person-strong rally and the signatures of another 1500 were not enough to persuade Ashburton’s mayor and district councillors to take a second look at the closure of the Ashburton iSITE. Neither were the feelings of those 2000 plus residents enough to raise a single hand of support at yesterday’s Ashburton District Council meeting. On the agenda was a recommendation that a petition presented by Karen McIntyre at the last council meeting should be received and the concerns raised acknowledged. It was.

There was no debate and councillors moved on to the next agenda item. Later in the meeting Experience Mid Canterbury general manager Bruce Moffat presented his six-monthly report to the council. Included were comments on the process his board went through before officially closing Ashburton’s i-SITE on Wednesday. It has been replaced by a transport booking service offered by House of Travel and by an unmanned information kiosk in the Ashburton Library. “This hasn’t been without its challenges,” Moffat said. Door counter figures for the i-SITE showed that numbers had “literally

crashed” over the past year, he said. “It hasn’t come over the past couple of months, it’s been coming for a long time.” In spite of community angst over the closure, Moffat said no-one had approached him to talk about the closures; no-one had asked what they could do to stop it. Mayor Donna Favel attended yesterday’s East Street rally and told her councillors there were “some views expressed” on the closure.

Mayor urged to listen to the people BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Her election slogan might have been “Donna for Mayor, still listening to you,” but when it came to the future of Ashburton’s i-SITE Donna Favel needed hearing aids, said retailer Tony Todd at yesterday’s central Ashburton protest rally. Fed up with the lack of response from the mayor and her councillors to the community’s outrage at the i-SITE’s closure, Todd decided to hold a public rally to show the depth of public anger. More than 500 people turned up to listen to Todd call for the council to start listening to what the people wanted. When the rally started, just one councillor, Leen Braam was on the chessboard. Favel and three others arrived part-way through his speech, delayed by a pre-planned council meeting. An i-SITE could not be looked at as simply a profit centre, it was a service to the community and to visitors, Todd said. “The council rates us all so they

can provide services this district requires. Part of that rate goes to tourism to promote our district and fund our i-SITEs. Can I say that funding is grossly inadequate.” The council funds Experience

Mid Canterbury by $386,000 each year, reducing by $10,000 each year until 2025. For that money there was a huge return on investment, Todd said – $170 million in tourist dollars. “Mr Scrooge is alive and well at

council. The council needs to embrace tourism, it needs to roll out the welcome mat. No i-SITE is not a good look for this town.” Technology might have changed the way people gathered information but there was still no substi-

tute for face-to-face communication, Todd said. “I challenge mayor Donna and council to recognise what tourism does for our district and to support the re-opening of this i-SITE. My plea to you Donna is to show true leadership, move from the chair that plans to close this i-SITE be delayed until July 1, 2018 and direct EMC to reopen this site.” The way EMC was funded, it was being set up to fail by the council, he said. The council said it wanted community feedback on issues. Delaying the closure and listening to the people would give them the answers they needed on the i-SITE Todd said. “Donna, I haven’t seen one note anywhere supporting the council’s stance on closing the i-SITE.” He urged those at the rally to email the mayor with their thoughts. All the community could hope for now was that the mayor and council took on board the community’s concerns and opened the i-SITE immediately, he said.

WHAT YOU’RE SAYING .... Why do you think the i-SITE should stay open?

“I used to live in Ashburton and then I moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Every time I come home I use the i-SITE a lot to ﬁnd things like aerobics classes and shuttles and I’m not sure what I’d do without it.”

“I was lost when I ﬁrst came here and it was a big help! Without it I think I would just have been walking around.”

“I’m French Canadian and visiting, and I think the i-SITE is good for that local information you just can’t ﬁnd online. Local people can tell you other little things to see, but online you can only ﬁnd the big attractions.”

Going . . . going . . . gone BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A public rally was planned for noon, a council presentation later that afternoon, but the future of Ashburton’s i-SITE had clearly been decided when staff from Experience Mid Canterbury were spotted removing signage from the East Street information base. Experience Mid Canterbury general manager Bruce Moffat might have been wearing his work best, but that didn’t stop him picking up a scraper and drill and climbing a ladder to remove the building’s distinctive branding. It was a condition of the closure that the signs were removed, he said. The i-SITE was part of a branding network and that meant closed doors meant the signage had to go. Moffat and the EMC board have been at the centre of the i-SITE closure row. They made the decision to close Ashburton and reshape services at Methven after a review suggested the money they received in grants from the council would be better spent elsewhere.

The absolute indication that Ashburton’s i-SITE will not reopen for business – Experience Mid Canterbury general manager Bruce Moffat taking down signage. PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 261017-SN-003 The closure was not popular but Moffat was adamant that i-SITEs had had their day as the go-to place for tourist information and transport and accommodation bookings. “But we do accept there’s a social cost to the closure,” he said. Bus bookings are now available through House of Travel and an

unstaffed information kiosk is being established in the foyer of the Ashburton Library where visitors have access to free wi-fi. Moffat’s office is in the i-SITE and while the building has been closed for almost two months, he said there had been very few visitors hammering on the door wanting information.

i-SITE closure a done deal From P1 Speaking at the rally she told the crowd the i-SITE closure would be discussed at that afternoon’s meeting but neither she, nor her councillors put their hand up and said the closure should not go ahead. Questions were asked about alternative information and booking services but no one challenged the decision to close. Stuart Wilson asked whether any business had been approached and asked if they were willing to pay to keep the site open. The answer was no, Moffat said. Russell Ellis came closest to querying the closure when he asked how the library information kiosk would work. “I can’t see the point of saying you can get information from the library if it’s only a stand. People need to see a human face,” he said. Library staff were already providing visitors with information that was also available at the iSITE, Moffat said so they were already doing the job and were happy to continue answering queries.

The library was already well used by visitors because it offered free wi-fi, he said. Ellis then suggested that an influx of tourists at the library could create traffic and parking congestion in that area. “It could become an issue if momentum picks up,” he said. Methven’s i-SITE will remain in business. It has, however, had a change of personnel with the manager made redundant and the other full time staff member resigning. It will now be run by a new full timer and two part-timers. A full time staff member was also made redundant from Ashburton. One of the reasons given for the closure was that the money it took to run the i-SITE could be better used for other promotion projects. Favel wanted to know what those would be and was told that a strategy would be developed now the i-SITE closure deal was sealed. With Moffat’s report wrapped up and councillors’ questions answered, Favel called a break for afternoon tea and the i-SITE discussion was over.

“For the tourists! I’ve gone in before wanting to know what shops I can go to.”

“I came here as a tourist from the Czech Republic … the i-SITE is a point of interest in any town.”

“I’m very passionate about the i-SITE staying open. For a town our size it’s deﬁnitely necessary.”

“I do a bit of travelling around New Zealand, and no matter where I go the i-SITE is the focal point of town. And Ashburton’s i-SITE does get used a lot.”

“It makes perfect sense for Ashburton to have an i-SITE. Every town has got one, and we’re reliant on tourism in Mid Canterbury.”

■ ASHBURTON A&P ASSOCIATION

Ready to go at A&P show BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

COLIN.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Months of hard work is over, with the gates opening this morning on the 140th Ashburton A&P Show. A&P association president Chris Watson said he was pleased with how the efforts of more than 100 volunteers had come together to make sure everything was set up on time, ready for the public, competitors, exhibitors and stallholders. Along with the usual events, entertainment and competitions, this year’s show features more than 100 exhibitors, along with 40 outdoor market stalls and 34 indoor ones. The layout of the showgrounds has been changed for the 2017 show, and Watson is confident the redesign will work well, with the market sites moved to the eastern end of the showgrounds, along with most of the food sites and the entertainment stage.

This year’s show theme is horsepower of yesteryear and includes a Dayboo Clydesdale Stud demonstration of a vintage chaff cutter in action, along with a selection of tractors supplied by members of the Ashburton Vintage Machinery Club and Cochranes, which is marking its 65th anniversary, while it’s also 175 years since the establishment of agriculture company Case IH, which Cochranes holds a number of dealerships for. The club’s exhibits include a 1913 Burrell traction engine that was used to power threshing machines early last century. It’s the first outing for the engine, owned by the family of Wakanui’s Peter Butterick, since it was recently restored in England. Another feature is a Massey Ferguson 1250 model tractor. The only one of its kind in New Zealand, it’s owned by Ashburton’s Richard Hampton.

PHOTO COLIN WILLISCROFT 261017-CW-046 The weather forecast for the two-day event is looking pretty good, with overnight rain on Wednesday freshening up the show ring nicely for the horse events, equestrian co-ordinator Carolyn Coulter said.

Three judges from the Auckland area and another from Dunedin will join others from the wider Canterbury area to oversee what Coulter said was a good number of entries in both show and showjumping catego-

ries. The quality of showjumping entries was strong, she said, with some competitors having previously taken part in the Horse of the Year show, New Zealand’s premier equestrian event.

■ TROTT’S GARDENS

Giant marquee in residence By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Trott’s Gardens has just taken a significant step towards becoming a place that will be used for community gatherings large and small, with the erection of a large, permanent marquee. The internationally recognised garden was established by Alan and Catherine Trott and for many years it hosted visitors from around the world and many weddings were celebrated in its chapel. Last month the garden changed hands and is now owned by a charitable trust, and that change of ownership placed it firmly in community hands, said trust chairwoman Robin Kilworth. A team of volunteers working with resident caretaker Jane Ashworth will maintain the gardens to the high standard set by the Trotts and largely it will be business as usual for tour groups, Kilworth said. Having a permanent marquee, on site, however, adds a new dimension to the garden, she said. This project was sponsored by EA Networks and the marquee

PHOTO LAURA BAGRIE 241017-LB-205 will be known as the EA Networks Pavilion. The company was proud to be associated with the garden trust, EA Networks chief executive Gordon Guthrie said. “This exciting project will have a lasting benefit and impact on the district and its residents and, by direct association, our con-

sumers,” he said. In providing the gardens with a permanent pavilion, Guthrie said the venue would be enhanced and the scope of events it could host would be significantly extended. “We know this will bring more visitors to our district and we wish all the volunteers involved well

in their endeavours to save this heritage for our all. These gardens are a real credit to Alan and Catherine Trott’s dedication and work for over 40 years.” For the trust, acquiring the marquee had involved significant contribution from the community, not just EA Networks in be-

ing its sponsor but also Bradford Construction whose staff spent three days erecting the 12x25 metre structure, Kilworth said. “This adds a whole new element to the gardens and we’re already getting bookings coming in,” she said. Trott’s Gardens Charitable Trust is made up of a small group of trustees and a large group of volunteers. It was formed to buy the gardens to ensure they remained in community hands. The property would continue to run and be maintained and developed as it did when the Trotts were its owners, Kilworth said and it would still host tour groups as well as holding functions and events. This summer former owner Alan Trott would continue as the tour group guide. He is also making a video about the property that visitors will be able to view. “We’re looking after this property for the future, for the community,” she said. The public will have an opportunity to tour the gardens without charge on November 5, between 11am and 3pm when the trust’s holds an open day.

OUR VIEW

A valiant effort but in vain? Matt Markham

EDITOR

t was a valiant effort Ashburton, but it would appear your attempts have fallen on deaf ears. More than 400 people showed up on the checkerboard yesterday to show support for Tony Todd and his rally to save the i-SITE. Included in the crowd, albeit belatedly, was our mayor, Donna Favel, along with a number of other dignitaries. Those of you who did attend will have taken some pleasure out of the reassurance from the mayor that the i-SITE decision would be the focal point of multiple discussions at yesterday afternoon’s council meeting. However, other than acknowledging the two petitions received, there was no discussion. So, the weight of people who have disagreed with this decision, through signature or in protest, has meant nothing. And while it was the mayor who announced that it would be discussed at the council meeting, surely there must have been a councillor sitting at the table yesterday who thought it worthy of at least a discussion. I wanted to give credit to the mayor for showing up yesterday. She could have easily stayed back behind the closed doors and delayed meetings, but, by all accounts, she pushed through the morning’s agenda to get there in time. But to what avail? It would appear none. The writing was probably already on the wall when they began to pull the signs down from the i-SITE building on East Street yesterday morning – just hours before the rally. The rally may prove to be a case of being too little, too late. But well done, all the same, Ashburton. Yesterday you stood up and asked to be noticed. You showed you are no longer going to take major decisions that affect you, or this district, lying down. You will challenge outcomes, you will question the authority and you will make your voice heard. There’s been a lot of discussion in many different forums on the subject over the past month and a bit and, other than the comments coming from those who have made the decision, there’s not been a lot of positivity for it. Surely that must say, and mean, something. Definitely more than what was said at the council meeting yesterday, that’s for sure.

wanted to start this week’s column by wishing the Agstaff Mid Canterbury Hammers all the best for Sunday’s Lochore Cup final. Hopefully the West Coast boys find the going too tough on the high veldt in Methven. I also wanted to thank the Mid Canterbury Rugby team and management for making a wee fella’s weekend. Aiden Bungard was selected to be the young MC Hammer for the semi-final against Poverty Bay. It looks like the fellas, especially his new hero Jarred Percival, went out of their way to make him feel like part of the team. Photos like these reaffirm just how awesome my job is, glad I could play a small part in Aiden’s awesome day. I’m sure Madie Brook will have an equally amazing time this Sunday. I’m looking forward to heading out to the A&P Show tomorrow. As usual we will have our Hokonui entertainment stage up and running again. You can expect to see the Wearable Waste competition again, which blows me away every year. We have some incredibly talented and creative people in this region of ours.

spaghetti (here’s looking at you, Bill). But what if there was a better way to make a toastie, and ensure that your bread was always perfectly crispy, without having to use even a lick of butter? According to Australian food writer Tristan Lutze, the trick is in using mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside of the bread, which could, at least, be a cheaper option at the moment. “Once the outside of your bread hits the heat of the sandwich press, a thin layer of mayo will transform into a perfectly even coating of oil that toasts any bread – be it soft white, hearty ciabatta or luxurious brioche – to crispy perfection,” Lutz said. “While butter splits into oil

and solids, the latter of which burns quickly against the hotplate, mayonnaise is perfectly emulsified, meaning no more blackened patches. “And whole egg mayonnaise – the kind you buy in a jar – has the same ratio of salt, so you won’t be sacrificing any flavour,” he said. Of course, being a true professional, I had to sample it for myself and I can confirm, THEY ARE GOOD!

Xi tightens grip on power The model lunar rover didn’t much impress the retiree in a cotton Mao jacket visiting an exhibition of Chinese achievements under President Xi Jinping. Nor did the displays charting China’s climate change progress or other technological advances. Instead, it was an exhibit showing how Xi has locked up thousands of corrupt officials that drew his approval. “We finally have a leader who is doing something right,” said the retiree, a 72-year-old former wastewater worker who would give only his surname, Lu, as he gazed at pictures of handcuffed Communist Party cadres. “He’s strong. He’s not afraid of anything, or anyone.” Lu is among an estimated 780,000 people who have visited the vast exhibition in west Beijing put on by the Communist Party’s propaganda department to coincide with the party’s twice-a-decade national congress, which finished yesterday and where Xi secured a second five-year term in office. The two events – one teeming with ordinary citizens, the other taking place behind closed doors under heavy security –

PHOTO AP show both how Xi has centralised power under his control and how he is leading China into what officials portray as a confident, gleaming new era. Since Xi assumed the party’s leadership in 2012, dissident historians have warned that his accumulation of power could

slide dangerously into something resembling the excesses of Mao Zedong’s totalitarian reign. Rival Communist Party factions have seethed under Xi’s anti-corruption campaigns, which have landed political challengers and potential suc-

cessors in jail, while stepping up supervision of cadres at all levels. Chinese and international rights activists, meanwhile, have railed against Xi’s crackdowns on dissent and universal values – the most suffocating in decades. - AP

Actor Kevin Sorbo says he was sexually harassed by the late Italian designer Gianni Versace. Sorbo, known for playing Hercules in the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, told comedian Adam Corolla on his podcast that the designer touched him without consent while he was working as a model in the early 1990s. At 6’3”, he wanted me to do fashion shows with these ... tall women.” Sorbo said on one occasion, he showed up to what he thought was a dinner party to discover only Versace was there. “All of a sudden, his hand goes up my leg,” Sorbo said. “[I said], ‘Dude, you know I’m straight?’ Sorbo told Corolla that Versace said: “’This is why I like you. You’re not a girlie man. You are a man’s man.”

Moment of truth for JFK conspiracy theories For decades, the existence of secret government files linked to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination has helped fuel conspiracy theories that others besides Lee Harvey Oswald were involved in his murder. Now the public is going to get a deeper look at the collection. The government is required by today to release the final batch of files related to Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Experts say the publication of the last trove of evidence

could help allay suspicions of a conspiracy – at least for some. “As long as the government is withholding documents like these, it’s going to fuel suspicion that there is a smoking gun out there about the Kennedy assassination,” said Patrick Maney, a presidential historian at Boston College. Here’s a look at what to expect from the files: The collection includes more than 3100 documents – comprising hundreds of thousands of pages – that have

never been seen by the public. About 30,000 documents were released previously with redactions. The National Archives is planning to post the files on its website. It’s unclear exactly how many files will be released. President Donald Trump is the only person who can stop any of the documents from becoming public. Trump pledged in a tweet on Saturday that – “subject to the receipt of further information” – he will allow the “long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be

opened”. Experts expect certain IRS files to remain secret, like the tax return of Jack Ruby, the man who killed Oswald two days after Kennedy’s assassination when the suspect was in police custody. President George H.W. Bush signed a law on October 26, 1992, requiring that all documents related to the assassination be released within 25 years. The push for transparency was driven in part by the uproar in the wake of Oliver Stone’s 1991 conspiracy-theory filled film JFK. - NZME

Fats Domino dies at 89 Fats Domino, who brought rolling New Orleans boogie-woogie piano to early rock ’n’ roll in hits such as Blueberry Hill and Ain’t That a Shame, has died at the age of 89. Domino, who for a while was mistakenly thought to have been killed when Hurricane Katrina devastated his New Orleans neighbourhood in 2005, died at home on Tuesday of natural causes, the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office said yesterday. As one of the pioneers of rock ’n’ roll in the 1950s, Domino sold 65 million records, more than anyone in that period except Elvis Presley, according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He had dozens of songs on the pop and rhythm-and-blues charts.

Huge earning increase for ANZ in NZ

market opened, falling more than 5 per cent although these losses were pared back later in the day. Although locally there has been only limited economic data released this week, there has been plenty coming in from offshore. Flash PMIs (Purchasing Managers Index) for October were released for the US, Europe and Japan. Flash PMIs are usually the first economic indicators we get to gauge how economies are tracking. Japanese manufacturing activity slowed slightly during the month, falling to 52.5 from 52.9 in October. An index reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector. In the US, the flash manufacturing PMI rose to 54.5, hitting a nine month high as the US economy continues to expand. It was a similar story for Europe with its PMI rising to 58.6, its highest level in over seven years. Weak inflation data from Australia disappointed markets. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.6 per cent for the third quarter of the year, below the 0.8 per cent gain expected. For the year, inflation was forecast to be 2.0 per cent however, it was only 1.8 per cent. This is also below the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target range of 2 per cent to 3 per cent. The Australian dollar weakened

following the result and chances of an interest rate hike next year declined further. Politics were also front of mind globally, with snap elections held in Japan during the weekend and the China Communist Party Congress finishing this week. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was re-elected with an even stronger mandate than he previously held. This was cheered by the Nikkei which had an exceptional 16 session winning streak. Chinese President Xi Jinping has been given a second five year term in power and was also honoured by having his ideology indoctrinated into the constitution. This makes him the most powerful leader since Mao Tse-tung, founder of the Communist Party. Global reporting season has also ramped up and driven indexes in the US to fresh all-time highs. Overall the reporting season so far has been positive, however, as we expected, misses have been heavily punished by investors. The reporting season kicks up another gear next week, with the busiest week of the third quarter reporting season. We will be watching for results from Apple, L’Oreal, and Tesla among others. Next week, we will be watching the US Federal Reserve meeting for further signs of policy tightening, while third quarter employment data from New Zealand will be closely watched.

t was a holiday shortened week for New Zealand, and given the excitement from late last week we probably needed it! Winston Peters finally announced that he was forming a coalition with the Labour Party and that the Green Party would be on board with a confidence and supply agreement. Jacinda Ardern was sworn in as the 40th prime minister of New Zealand this week while Winston Peters is her deputy. Although we have seen very little reaction from the New Zealand share market, we have certainly seen a significant decline in the New Zealand dollar. The TWI is now at an 18-month low. Initial declines came following the coalition announcement and these losses were extended following policy announcements. Policies of note include the review and reform of the Reserve Bank Act, minimum wage rising to $20 an hour by 2020, a feasibility report on moving the Port of Auckland to Northport, and a strengthening of the Overseas Investment Act. The NZX50 continued its exceptional run this week, narrowly breaking a 16-session winning streak mid-week. There has been plenty for investors to process as the AGM season continued. Of note, Fletcher Building went into a trading halt on the day prior to their AGM, pending an announcement around its building and interiors business. The announcement was a further $160 million loss for the division, in addition to the downgrades from earlier in the year. The share price was sufficiently pummelled as the

David Hisco, ANZ New Zealand chief executive, said the reduction in costs took it below the lender’s 2010 levels, while at the same time

Under chief executive Shayne Elliot the lender has been restructuring to quit less profitable lines of business and introduce more agile working styles to strip out bureaucratic waste. The board declared a final dividend of 80 Australian cents per share taking the annual return to $A1.60, unchanged from a year earlier. ANZ’s New Zealand lending business, which will see former Prime Minister John Key take over as chair in the new year, grew its mortgage book 5 per cent in the year to $72.35 billion, while commercial loans increased 1 per cent to $40.96 billion. Total net loans were up 4 per cent to $117.24 billion, while customer deposits increased 7 per cent $81.86 billion. The heightened level of competition in the market continued to put the squeeze on net interest margin which shrank 6 basis points to 2.31 per cent in the year, although ANZ’s New Zealand lending division increased return on assets 3 basis points to 1.22 per cent. – AP

ANZ New Zealand, the local unit of Australia & New Zealand Banking Group, boosted annual earnings 21 per cent as the country’s biggest lender cut costs by shrinking its workforce and bad credit charges fell as concerns about the rural sector eased. Cash profit, the favoured earnings measure of the Australianowned banks, rose to $1.86 billion in the 12 months ended September 30 from $1.53 billion a year earlier. Net interest income edged up 2 per cent to $3.08 billion while operating expenses shrank 8 per cent to $1.45 billion and credit impairment charges more than halved to $59 million. The bank’s net profit rose a more modest 15 per cent to $1.78 billion, which included fair value losses on financial instruments and insurance policy valuations. ANZ’s New Zealand staff shrank to 7755 as at September 30 from 7869 a year earlier, although the bulk of that is in the group’s Kiwi banking division where full-time equivalent staff was trimmed to 6207 from 6317 a year earlier.

Rugged, but very civilised

he music choice, given the looks, size and heavy metal used in Toyota’s iconic LC70, just had to be Metallica’s Greatest Hits! And that was certainly not to drown out engine or road noise, for this the latest version of this truck, proved surprisingly quiet, and civilised to drive, albeit, in an unapologetically rugged way. They have always been pretty much kings of the hill and mostly spotted about NZ doing the real hard yards, such as serious towing and load carrying on high country stations, mines and in forests. Wherever it might be, their long history shows they are no-compromise, strong, hard-working, virtually unbreakable trucks with ample grunt, good (283mm) clearance, a clean underbelly and other go-anywhere features. With 4WD vehicles definitely continuing to become more genteel, it is great to see Toyota continuing to commit to the real thing. Real being the heavy duty ladder chassis, dual-range 4x4 complete with dual range transfer case, diff locks front and rear and a big, unstressed V8 diesel. Oh but what about health and safety? Well no compromises there either, especially for the single cab models whose comprehensive safety equipment gives them the maximum 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

This safety gear includes side, curtain and driver’s knee airbags, pre-tensioned seat-belts, stability and active traction control, hill-start assist and a reversing camera. LC70s are available as a single cab/ chassis (2.4m x1.8m tray costs around $4000) or a double cab with correspondingly shorter tray. As well there’s a Wagon with two seats and van-like cargo space. The 5.2 metres long, and tall, tried and

tested exterior is pretty much unchanged except for a slightly higher bulge in the bonnet. You climb up in and there’s an expansive view to the front and sides from the long haul, comfortable seats. Expectedly the cabin furnishings and controls are practical and durable, and there’s no fancy stuff such as electric windows or central locking. But while sitting tall enough to eyeball truckers, it has also joined the digital age,

for there’s a 6.1-inch screen, decent sound system, with CD player, USB port, Bluetooth, simple but efficient air-con, and even cruise control! All models use the reliable 4.5-litre V8 turbo diesel engine producing 151kW of power and 430Nm of torque from 1200 to 3200rpm. With new injectors and diesel particulate filter, it meets EURO 5 emission regulations. This big, relaxed V8 is a wonderful lugger and while the gearbox remains a 5-speed manual, it gets taller 2nd and 5th gears. It feels strong, changes easily and given the engine’s pulling power, doesn’t need more ratios. It’s reasonably quick off the mark when you need it to be, and then on the open road it happily lopes along at 100km/h in a surprisingly quiet and refined manner. The other surprise, given the heavy duty suspension with the amount of off-road articulation it offers, is just how good the on-road ride is and how flat it sat through corners with just a light load on the deck and towing a largish pop-top camper. While the front and rear diffs can be locked up, I found, during my limited off-road driving in dry conditions, that the smart active traction control system did all that was needed. The ride in those conditions was firm, but not uncomfortable. - By Roger Hart

total solar eclipse is considered to be one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights, yet it can’t be viewed directly with the naked eye. When it comes to the brand-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, onlookers simply won’t be able to avert their gaze. Mitsubishi Motors is proud to announce the arrival of an all-new nameplate to its range. Marrying sleek coupe lines with the freedom of movement of an SUV, the attractively styled Eclipse Cross will be available as a 2WD or AWD in XLS and VRX editions.

Packed with a glittering array of advanced technology and safety features as standard, it is being heralded by Mitsubishi as an exciting new phenomenon in the automotive sphere. “The arrival of this smart and stylish compact SUV marks a significant addition to our line-up – one which is sure to turn heads and spark imaginations,” said Mitsubishi NZ general manager of vehicle sales and marketing Daniel Cook. “In terms of size, it sits between Outlander and ASX. “In terms of styling, performance and technology, it is in a league of its own. It is

our most advanced vehicle yet, packed full of features. “There is a lot to get excited about, from bold exterior detailing to the introduction of Mitsubishi’s all-new 1.5L Direct Injection Turbo engine and CVT with 8-speed Sport Mode. “We’re just as thrilled with this new model as we think customers will be.” The eye-catching Eclipse Cross leads from the front with a new Advanced Dynamic Shield front fascia, delivering a distinctive Mitsubishi look and feel and giving the vehicle its own unique identity. At the rear, a sporty spoiler and stylish

taillight design combine to ensure a lasting impression. With 18” alloy wheels, sleek chrome accents and privacy glass as standard, Eclipse Cross presents a markedly premium appearance – all of which is completed by a new Brilliant Red hero colour option. Even the paint job takes this vehicle into a new dimension. A multilayered base and clear coat process – featuring rich red pigment, highly reflective aluminium flakes and mica – lends unrivalled depth and brightness to the finished effect.

Road-legal hyper-car

cLaren, the British creator of luxury sports and super cars, has confirmed that the next model to be introduced under its Track22 business plan will be an addition to the Ultimate Series. Its mission is to be the most extreme, trackconcentrated road car McLaren has yet designed. To be publicly revealed in the first quarter of 2018, it will be delivered ahead of a second future Ultimate Series model codenamed BP23, which aims to be the world’s first Hyper-GT.

As members of the McLaren Ultimate Series, both will be produced in very limited numbers and all examples are already assigned. Ultimate Series models are positioned above McLaren’s core Super Series and have a distinct focus. Previous examples of the Series include the McLaren P1™ and McLaren P1™ GTR. This next model to join the Ultimate Series will be the ultimate track car but will be road legal. Its design, described as brutal, will be the purest expression yet of the company’s ‘form follows function’ philosophy.

Popular with good reason J ust a few years ago you needed to spend a great deal of money and buy a luxury brand to get the latest in driver assist, safety and crash avoidance technology. We’re talking about things such as adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking and lane departure warning etc. Well this new $25,990 Swift RS (as does the $24,500 GLX model) comes with all of this in addition to their six airbags, ABS, traction and stability control. The RS with its three-cylinder turbo petrol is currently the flagship of new Swift range. It is to be joined next year by a new Sport model featuring a 1.4-litre four cylinder turbo-petrol producing 103kW and 230Nm. While there’s a definite traditional Swift look about the exteriors of these new cars, they are indeed quite different, with a thoroughly modern, more grown up look about them. While they are slightly smaller and lighter, their wheelbase is 20mm longer and there’s more space inside. Unlike the GL and GLX models which have four cylinder 1.2 litre 66kW/120Nm engines and CVT transmission, the RS’s engine, as indicated above, is a 1.0-litre, three cylinder Boosterjet turbo petrol, with a six-speed auto and torque converter. Although of course the forthcoming Sport version will be “hot” model in the

range, the RS proved suitably enthusiastic. For a start there’s 82kW, but more particularly the 160Nm of torque, all of which is on call from 1500 to 4000 rpm. Add in the very perceptive, smoothshifting auto, which keeps the engine in its sweetest spots together with the cars light weight means its a keen performer for all driving situations, even more so with the auto in M mode and using the paddle shift to fully appreciate the unique, enjoyable thrum associated with three-cylinder engines. As is the case with the quite delightful little Ignis, Suzuki have been very clever, given the Swift’s also compact dimensions, in coming up with such good passenger space, both front and rear. The cabin has been designed with attention to detail and with easy-to-use controls in the right places. There’s an uncluttered look to it, with excellent clear dials and a 7.0-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system. It has dedicated sat-nav, bluetooth, reversing camera, Apple and Android smartphone capability, a 6-speaker sound system, climate air-con and key less entry/pushbutton start. Colour-wise the cabin’s more conservatively styled and lacks the splashes of colour of the Ignis and Vitara. We found the front seats comfortable as well as being nicely placed for easy entry and exit.

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

When seated therein there’s plenty of headroom and very good vision all round. As mentioned, despite the compact exterior size, the back seat space is two standard size adult-friendly, or three of a smaller size for longer trips. The boot has quite a deep floor and will hold a handy 242-litres of stuff. On the road the enthusiastic nature of the RS’s power train, positive steering and well-sorted chassis mean a composed yet rewarding drive, and playful handling for those who wish to go down that road. But then it cruises in a nice, relaxed manner on the open road, where the raft of advanced driver-assist and safety systems provide both tangible assistance and reassurance. Wind and road noise are well suppressed for such a small car. Around town it is very easy to drive and park, because of the combination of its size, good views out, very tight turning circle and as needed, the reversing camera.

Pricing: $25,990. GL manual is $19,990. Auto $21,990 and GLX Auto $24,500 (all plus ORCs). Engine: 1.0-litre 3 cylinder turbo petrol, 82kW/160Nm. Transmission: 6-speed auto with sport mode –front-wheel-drive. Quoted Economy: 5.1L/100km. Safety: 6 air bags, comprehensive advanced driver assist/safety technology package. 5 star ANCAP rating. Warranty: 5 years of warranty (100,00km) and 5 year roadside assistance.

FINALE Rentals sales aside, the Swift has over the last 12 years been the most popular car amongst N Z’s private car buyers. And it’s very likely this impressive new RS and its siblings with their looks, charm, great dynamics and driver assist/safety technology will ensure this continues!

Pursuing perfection

ailored for design and sportiness, the new Porsche 718 GTS models are about to hit New Zealand. Porsche is expanding its mid-engine model range with the new two-seater 718 Boxster GTS and 718 Cayman GTS. Power for the turbocharged 2.5-litre, four-cylinder GTS boxer engine is now 269 kW (365 hp); this increase coming from a newly developed intake duct and further engine optimisations. An overall additional 11 kW (15 hp) is gained over the 718 S model and an even more significant 26 kW (35 hp) achieved over the previous GTS iterations with naturally aspirated engine. The latest 718 pair are available with manual six-speed transmission or optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). The GTS models gain a host of standard features previously available as options only; including Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with mechanical rear differential lock and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which lowers the body by 10 millimetres.

With maximum torque of 430 Nm (plus 10 Nm over the 718 S) acceleration and in-gear flexibility is even greater. Maximum torque is available between 1900 and 5000 rpm, capped at 4,500 on the 718 S. When combined with PDK and Sport Chrono Package the GTS models acceleration from zero to 100 km/h is in 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 290 km/h. The GTS models stand out within the 718 model range not only in terms of technology, but also in visual design. The new Sport Design front bumper emphasises the sporty character and, as is typical for GTS models, the front light clusters and Bi-Xenon headlights are black-tinted. At the rear, the tinted tail lights, black logos, black rear lower bumper and centrally positioned black tailpipes of the standard sports exhaust give the GTS its unique appearance. The local specification and pricing for 718 Boxster GTS and 718 Cayman GTS models is currently being finalised and will be announced shortly and the first vehicles will arrive in New Zealand dealerships around March 2018.

In brief

■ RICCARTON

Classic berths on the line Tony Pike’s plans for Christchurch will become clearer in the coming days. The Cambridge trainer has four horses nominated for next month’s Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) with Bostonian, a $12 chance, the only one of the quartet a confirmed starter at this stage. The Listed El Roca Trophy (1200m) winner secured his place with a luckless fifth in the Gr.2 Sarten Memorial (1400m) at Te Rapa on Monday. “I thought it was a massive run,” Pike said. “He got wiped out on the corner and had a front leg taken out from under him. “I’m surprised he’s drifted in the Guineas market.” The stable’s other classic contenders are Sacred Rebel, who runs at Pukekohe today, while Aim Smart and Ever Loyal will be in action on Saturday at Ellerslie and Riccarton respectively. Sacred Rebel, currently at $31 for the Guineas, steps out in the Mount Shop 1400m. “We were going to run him in the Sarten then it rained all day and he’s hopeless in those track conditions so he was a late scratching,” Pike said. “He’s got a wide draw, but we’re running out of time. “It’s D-Day for him and if he goes out and runs very well then he’ll go to Christchurch.” Aim Smart’s southern prospects – he is being kept safe at $12 for the Riccarton feature – depends on his performance in the

Swing Note will attempt to secure a start in next month’s Gr.1 gavelhouse.com New Zealand Bloodstock 1000 Guineas (1600m) when she tackles tomorrow’s Zacinto Stakes at Riccarton. The Encosta de Lago filly pressed her claims for a start when she cleared maiden grade with a 1 3/4-length win at Riccarton three weeks ago and Jamie Richards is hoping for further improvement. “It’s a good field on Saturday, it will give us a good guide for whether we press on to the 1000 Guineas.” - NZME

Canterbury trainer Mark Jones made a winning start to his new Sydney satellite stable when Whittaker was victorious at Bathurst on Wednesday night. The son of Sportswriter took out a heat of the Star Trek series, which will culminate with a A$15,000 Final at Bathurst on November 10. Jones has set up a stable at Menangle, which is being run by Ashlee Grives. As well as recent arrival Whittaker, classy Group 1 performed mares Rocker Band and Delightful Memphis are also based there for Jones. - NZHN

3Y0 in classic Derby trial

Bostonian is the only confirmed starter from Tony Pike’s stable for the Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas at Riccarton. PHOTO RACE IMAGES Love & Co 1400m. “If he comes out and runs very well then he’s a chance to go down,” Pike said. “It’s been so hard to get a line of them – every decent threeyear-old race has been run on wet tracks.”

Impressive last-start Te Aroha winner Ever Loyal, who has shortened to $10 in the Guineas market, has been sent south early for the Listed Zacinto Stakes (1600m). “We’ve always had a big opin-

ion of him,” Pike said. “He’s a long-striding horse and Riccarton will suit him. “It looks like a nice race for him and hopefully he will run very well and go on to the Guineas.” - NZME

Winx ‘can’t be faulted’ in Plate build-up A faultless few weeks since champion racehorse Winx’s Turnbull Stakes victory has the champion mare perfectly placed for her attempt at a record-equalling third Cox Plate. “The Cox Plate last year we said on that day it had to be a champion to beat her because she was as good as we could have her,” trainer Chris Waller told reporters yesterday. “Nothing’s changed going into this year’s Cox Plate. “Her semi-final run in the Turnbull was very impressive. “It will be a stronger field on Saturday but her work since then, and a perfect three-week gap between races, couldn’t have been any better. “So that to me would suggest she’s very well. “Every check that we’re looking for has been perfect.” Winx is rated a sizzling-hot $1.15 favourite to join Kingston Town as a three-time Cox Plate winner on Saturday at Moonee Valley.

Guineas start on radar

Whittaker wins debut

■ COX PLATE

By Mathew toogood

Ashburton Guardian 23

Unbeaten in her past 21 starts, Winx faces eight rivals and Waller said everything had gone to plan leading in. “With any animal, any sportsperson, you’re always a little cautious of what may go wrong,” he said. “We know we’ve got the right horse, a great jockey, the right race, and everything has worked towards this since she won the Cox Plate last year. “We’re just trying to keep everything in a similar pattern to last year and thankfully everything has gone well.” He says condition-wise, Winx is carrying more weight this year which suggests she is a stronger horse with more muscle. “Does it really make them run faster? “I don’t know,” he said. “Potentially it could make them a little bit more explosive. But it’s hard to detract when she did set a track record as a lighter horse as a four-year-old and won by the biggest margin as a five-year-old.

“And here she is now as a sixyear-old in good form and still holding together very well.” Winx galloped at Moonee Valley on Tuesday and did three-quarter pace work at Flemington yesterday. Her main gallop was last Saturday at Flemington. “Hugh (Bowman) was equally as impressed in that workout as he was this time last year in her final serious piece of work going into the race,” Waller said. Waller is well aware of the history surrounding Winx’s third Cox Plate bid. Victory would also see Winx overtake Makybe Diva as Australian racing’s highest prize money earner and join Black Caviar on a record 15 Group One wins. “We understand the level of expectation of everybody and it’s fantastic to see it’s a sell-out crowd,” Waller said. “It really is a proud moment for our sport and us that’s diWinx is heading for a third Cox rectly involved with Winx.” - AAP Plate victory tomorrow.

Weather With You pressed his VRC Derby claims with victory in his fourth Australian appearance. The Cambridge-trained three-year-old was fitted with blinkers for Wednesday’s Geelong Classic and, after racing on the pace, he was in front on straightening and held a strong gallop to beat Ocean’s Fourteen, a New Zealand-bred son of Ocean Park. “Obviously the 2500m of the Derby won’t hurt him,” said Andrew Forsman. “It was the plan when we brought him here to go for the Derby, even though he was still a maiden.” - NZME

Wait proves worthwhile Patience was rewarded when Vengeur Masque won the Gr.3 Geelong Cup (2400m). The five-year-old’s success on Wednesday, his first on Australian soil after two in France, has pressed his claims for higher honours. “We’ve had a lot of faith in this horse, but he’s been a slow maturing horse and he’s only just come of age,” Michael Moroney said. “He’s on his way to this year’s Melbourne Cup.” - NZME

■ RUGBY

‘Battler’ achieving goals BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

While he might not have the flashy offloads and powerful drive like his fellow Mid Canterbury loose-forwards, blindside flanker Phil Watson is more than happy being a self-confessed battler. The team’s player of origin may call Christchurch his home and Shirley his club team, but the 33-year-old is as Mid Canterbury as it gets. He played all of his junior rugby for Mid Canterbury, as well as representing the Ashburton College 1st XV, and always saw himself in roughing it with the big boys in the green and gold. “I always wanted to play for the first team, it was a real goal of mine,” he said. “I always wanted to play some rugby for Mid Canterbury so when the option was there, I took it.” A teacher at Christchurch Boys’ High School, this is his second year representing the Hammers, but missed out on their attempt at the Lochore Cup last year through injury. “Last year was a disappointing finish. It was a shame to miss it through injury and not being there to help the boys out,” he said. “I have loved it this season and it is a shame we missed out on the Meads Cup and we have shown we can beat the top teams, but it will be nice to get the chance at some silverware.” The semi-final thrashing of Poverty Bay saw Watson bring up his 17th game for the province, a landmark occasion known as the blazer game. “That was cool, it kind of came out of the blue and it was nice to be recognised for what you are doing for the union and the work you are putting in,” he said. Watson will once again partner the lively Seta Koroitamana and Sam Finau in the loose forwards this Sunday in the Lochore Cup final against the West Coast, but he is not worried about trying to

Marler on sidelines England front-rower Joe Marler will miss next month’s clash with Australia after being suspended for two matches, but captain Dylan Hartley has been cleared to play. A disciplinary panel decided Hartley should receive no further sanction after being sent to the sin-bin for striking Rabah Slimani during Northampton’s 24-7 Champions Cup defeat. But England will be without Marler for next month’s matches against Argentina and the Wallabies after the frontrower pleaded guilty to striking Will Rowlands during Harlequins’ Champions Cup defeat. - PA

Tui happy to swap role

Phil Watson gets the jump in the line-out in the Mid Canterbury Hammers’ clash with North Otago earlier in the season.

Emerging forward and impact player Lukhan Tui wouldn’t mind muscling his way into the Wallabies’ mosquito fleet back row in addition to adding oomph to the second row. Test rookie Tui played a vital role off the bench in the Bledisloe Cup win over New Zealand at Suncorp, home base of his Queensland Super Rugby team. Although he’s primarily a lock, the 21-year-old Tui can also play blindside flanker as he did when he came off the bench against Argentina. - AAP

Robertson re-signs Emerging prop Tom Robertson has re-signed with Australian Rugby and the NSW Waratahs until the end of 2020. The 23-year-old, who made his test debut against Argentina in Perth last year, has won 13 of his 15 caps off the bench, earning starts against Fiji and Scotland in June. Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said the Sydney medical student was still young for a test prop and had the chance to really nail down a spot. - AAP

match their attacking prowess. “I would say I am more of the battler but I love being able to do that unseen stuff such as hitting the rucks and looking to turn the ball over,” he said. While they came many years ago, Watson has faced plenty of tough times in his rugby career, tearing his anterior cruciate ligament three times. “They were a long time ago, but they do sit in the back of your

mind and you think more about the positions you put yourself in. “But whether that comes with experience or injury prevention it is definitely something I am conscious of,” he said. While he loves pulling on the green and gold jersey during this time of year, his club, Shirley, are also a key part in his rugby life. “I’ve been with the club a long time and I have got a lot of good friends there and it is re-

ally enjoyable,” he said. Despite not playing for a team like Canterbury or the Crusaders, teaching at a rugby-mad school like Christchurch Boys’, his time with the Hammers has not gone unnoticed. “There are a lot of rugby players at the school and a few really pay attention to it and ask how I am getting on and have a few conversations about it which is pretty cool,” he said.

Former All Blacks first five-eighth Aaron Cruden turned down a 1 million euro ($NZ1.7m) offer to play for English side Bristol before signing with French club Montpellier. Montpellier’s billionaire owner Mohed Altrad revealed in the Mail on Sunday that his Top 14 club offered the 47-test All Black a lesser contract than what was on the table from the English side. “We offered him €800,000 a year. His agent told me Bristol had offered more than €1million, yet he chose to join us,” Altrad said. - NZME

■ RUGBY

In brief

RFU plans domination By Mick cleary The Rugby Football Union has made the bold declaration that it wants to be “the strongest sport in England”, and that the country should be “the world’s leading rugby nation” by setting out plans to invest a record £443 million ($853 million) into the game, an increase of 30 per cent on its last four-year Strategic Plan. The governing body also stated its target of winning the men’s World Cup in Japan in 2019 and the women’s World Cup two years later. In addition, there are clear goals to win more Six Nations titles as well as medals in the men’s and women’s sevens at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. There are initiatives in place to increase the number of RFUowned artificial pitches around the country from the current six to 60 by the 2019 Rugby World Cup. The assertion that rugby union could one day lay claim to being “the strongest” sport in the country could not have come at a more apposite time given the mess that the Football Association finds itself in. The RFU may never be able to match the participation levels of football but it makes no secret of its desire to “lead the way”, in the manner in which it conducts its business. On a specific level, it has revisited all its internal processes and procedures in the light of the revelations of racism that led to the Football Association being arraigned in front of a Parliamentary select committee last week. “The aim is not to be the biggest sport in England but the strongest in the way we go about our business,” Stephen Brown, the RFU chief executive, said. “On the field, the aim is to win Six Nations titles. “We are not planning to come second. We want to deliver the game of our lives. “There is a substantial increase

Black Caps skittled India outplayed New Zealand across the board in Pune yesterday, and New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson acknowledged his team will need to step up in the ODI series decider on Sunday night. Both teams have had a six-wicket win in the series. “We certainly came here with high hopes and we put a much better performance together in Mumbai, not so much today,” he said. “India are very good opposition and we do need to play much better in Kanpur.” - NZME

Four more years Brisbane captain Darius Boyd was happy to delay his own contract talks for teammates and is also willing to shift from fullback to the halves next season to boost the club’s NRL premiership prospects. Boyd signed a new four-year deal reportedly worth around $750,000 a season yesterday that should allow the 30-year-old to finish his NRL career at the club where it began 12 years ago. - AAP

Beaten by the buzzer

England coach Eddie Jones has been given massive support with the World Cup in mind. in investment to match what we see as our substantial commitment to being the best on and off the field. “This has been a step-change for us and perhaps [would be] for other organisations. “We have looked at everything again internally and it is critical for the good governance of a sport that we keep checking and challenging ourselves to meet high standards by being open and transparent. “Any sport is at risk [of issues such as arose in football] but we are working as an organisation to be in a place where that would not be allowed to happen.” There is little doubt, too, that the union recognises the importance of success at international level, the ripple-down effect that winning World Cups can have, as was shown in the country’s reaction to the 2003 triumph. To that end, the breakdown of

the injection of almost half a billion pounds up to 2021 divides into £253 million designated for the professional game and £190 million assigned to all other areas such as artificial pitches, facilities and infrastructure. The women’s game has seen more than £1 million of investment since the World Cup. The union has taken findings from a specially commissioned survey that reached 26,000 people to help shape its view of the game across the spectrum. The blue-riband target, though, remains the 2019 Rugby World Cup with Eddie Jones “leading the charge towards it”, in the words of the RFU’s director of professional rugby, Nigel Melville. There are many tiers to the RFU Strategic Plan but the apex remains the planned-for success of the national team. On that rests so much, as Jones has already shown with a Grand

Slam and Six Nations title to his name to fuel the feel-good vibe at Twickenham. “Eddie has a very clear purpose and that fits with ours,” said Brown, who has begun the succession planning for Jones’s intended retirement after the 2019 World Cup. “We are on the same page. “We want to win the Rugby World Cup and reach world No. 1. “It would be odd for the union not to be ambitious. “You are either ambitious or you are not. “Our two views [Jones and the RFU] are complementary and appropriate. We are building that recipe and need to have Plans A, B and C ready. “Eddie wants to leave a legacy, a system that the next head coach can pick up. We are in a good place [as regards succession plans], probably better than in the past.” - NZME

Hamilton sevens already a sell-out Moving the New Zealand leg of the world sevens series to Hamilton is already providing dividends with the event selling out 100 days before the tournament. Previous editions of the event in Wellington have failed to attract big crowds with Hamilton taking over the hosting duties for the first time next February. According to organisers, 40 per cent of ticket sales have been purchased by fans from outside of Hamilton. “It’s exciting to have a sell-out on our hands again, and the Sevens are now officially the hottest ticket for summer in Hamilton, promising a great weekend of rugby and entertainment for all, New Zealand Sevens general manager Steve Dunbar

said. “The move to Hamilton has clearly revitalised what remains a premier global Sevens event, and we can’t wait for kick-off in 100 days’ time.” The tournament organisers announced yesterday three zones outside the stadium that will form part of a wider event precinct. Mill St Park will see an R18 Entertainment Zone including specialty bars and food outlets, fair rides and areas dedicated to music, attractions and themed activities. A separate area on Mill St Park will host a Family Fun-Fair. And Fred Jones Park will house the teams’ Warm-up Zone where fans can watch the players up close as they prepare for their games. - NZME

Patty Mills had three points and four assists in San Antonio’s 117-110 win over Miami. Elsewhere, LeBron James recorded a triple-double – 29 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists – but could not prevent the Cavs going down to the Brooklyn Nets 112-107. - AAP

Fallon back in the fold There may be some selection shocks in the All Whites team to face Peru next month. As he searches for every possible advantage before the vital World Cup qualifying matches, coach Anthony Hudson is exploring all his options. The Herald understands that Hudson is set to recall Rory Fallon, who famously scored the pivotal goal against Bahrain in 2009. It’s also believed that Hudson is considering bringing Jeremy Brockie back into the fold, almost 18 months since he last pulled on the silver fern. - NZME

Australia ‘vulnerable’ England believe Australia are ripe for the picking in Friday’s Rugby League World Cup opener, according to Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga. Australia haven’t lost to England in 22 years, however Meninga insists the old enemy reckon they can cause an upset at AAMI Park. “They’re one of the major forces in the game of rugby league. They’ll probably think we’re at our most vulnerable tomorrow night. Again, we’re prepared for that,” Meninga said yesterday. - AAP

Hopes high for Freyberg By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The Aorangi team to contest the 2017 Freyberg Masters has a very strong Mid Canterbury contingent this year, with only one player not a member of a club in the district. Owen Miller (Tinwald), Regan

Stills (Tinwald), John Smitheram (Tinwald) and Robbie Bell (Ashburton) will team up with Highfield’s Ray Grant to contest the tournament. The team of five will compete in eight rounds of matchplay over the six days, with Aorangi having a strong history of top

four placings in the past. Blair Franklin, who plays his golf at Ashburton, will also be a part of the team as the reserve. Miller returns to the team at number one after a strong performance at the South Island Masters tournament, and will be leading the team that boasts

plenty of Freyberg experience. The tournament will be played at Auckland’s Whitford Park Golf Club from November 6-10. The team will open the tournament on the Monday in the morning against Waikato, before a derby against Canterbury in the afternoon.

Hartley keeping it simple for Mexico By Dale BuDge Kiwi Formula 1 star Brendon Hartley has a target of scoring a championship point at this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix. The 27-year-old made an impressive debut with Toro Rosso on Monday in Austin, finishing a respectable 13th after starting from the rear of the grid. Having been retained for the second straight week, Hartley has now turned his attention to improving his performance even further and bagging a top 10 finish that would earn championship points. “I think winning the race is optimistic,” Hartley said. “People that follow Formula 1 will under-

stand that not every car is capable of winning. As a driver, that is not what you want to be saying but that is the reality. “A realistic goal or target would be to score a point. “That would be huge. If I could score a point in Mexico, that would call for a big celebration. That has to be the goal. A difficult goal, believe me. “Obviously long term, that is the dream – to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix – but for the moment, one step at a time. “I would love to score a point.” Stories have surfaced out of Europe quoting Toro Rosso boss Helmut Marko and claiming that Hartley has been handed a drive for each of the remaining three

Brendon Hartley races this year. It also said that Russian driver Daniil Kvyat, who has spent the majority of the year with the team, has been told he is free to pursue a drive elsewhere. But the Le Mans 24 Hour winner said he’s had no confirmation

of any of that from the team. “At the moment I don’t know exactly what the future holds,” he said. “All I know is I am making my second Grand Prix, which I am very excited and happy about. “I am keeping it pretty simple. Even in Austin I didn’t ask too many questions and I just focused on doing my job.” That approach seemed to work. He handled the extra attention and scrutiny well and passed the test with flying colours. “It has been quite a crazy few weeks for me – pretty surreal. “Now I have got an incredible opportunity to take my second Grand Prix and hopefully build on that first weekend.” - NZME

New Zealand’s elite track cycling teams have been named for next month’s two World Cups in Europe and the Oceania Championships in Cambridge. The team has blended experienced and developing riders with a view to February’s world championships in the Netherlands and April’s Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. Sprint-focused squads will be taken to the World Cups in Poland and Manchester, Britain. The world champion men’s team sprint will lead the way. Ethan Mitchell and Eddie Dawkins return from competing at the London Six-Day competition while Sam Webster is back after racing in the Japan Keirin League. Natasha Hansen, a top-six qualifier in sprints at the world championship, will lead the women’s group. The men’s endurance squad, who won silver in the team pursuit at this year’s world championships, is largely intact with Nick Kergozou, Dylan Kennett and Regan Gough returning. Kennett is working his way back to fitness, while Gough has just returned from a European season on the road. Missing is Piet Bulling, who is taking time away from the sport. His absence opens up opportunities for the likes of four-time junior world champion Campbell Stewart and fellow junior world medallists Tom Sexton, Jared Gray and Hugo Jones. The women’s endurance squad has three of its four riders back from the team that won bronze at the world championships in Michaela Drummond, Racquel Sheath and Rushlee Buchanan. Jaime Nielsen is missing after suffering glandular fever in the wake of her one-hour record ride, while Ashburton’s Olympian Lauren Ellis is expecting the birth of her first child in November. That offers opportunities for Bryony Botha, Elyse Fraser and Kirstie James to join the team pursuit combination. “It’s nice to have your best available all the time, but with some riders not available it also presents an important opportunity to develop our depth as we look ahead to Tokyo and beyond,” Cycling New Zealand chief executive Andrew Matheson said. “We are under no illusions that we did not perform to expectations at Rio but at the same time we are not jumping at short-term patch solutions. “We have had some outstanding results on the global stage at junior level for the past few years and this presents an opportunity to give some of this talent some invaluable international experience.” Matheson expects a strong Australian team to head to the Avantidrome in Cambridge for the Oceania Championships, which provide qualifying points for international competition. “It will give an early indicator looking to world championships and to the Gold Coast.” - NZME

the haka. It is an opportunity that very few get, and while he hasn’t been grabbing the headlines like the other three new players in the team, he could easily have the biggest impact on the tour. The props are definitely the weakest zone currently for the All Blacks and as we saw earlier in the season someone can go from playing in the Mitre 10 Cup to starting for the All Blacks just as Perry’s

team-mate Kane Hames has done. It will be great to see how he does and hopefully he can make a big name for himself from the opportunity. It has been a few years since we have had an All Black from Mid Canterbury and this will hopefully be a nice reminder to the players in the region that with a bit of hard graft, you can make it to the top. We have plenty of young, talented players here that have pulled on the green and gold jersey, and have been rewarded for it with big futures ahead of them. They will get their last chance this season to show off their skills in the Lochore Cup final on Sunday, with all the television cameras on them, so here’s hoping the make the most of it.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Tuivasa-Sheck to shine By Angelo Risso Fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck says he can’t wait to cash in on the hard work of props Adam Blair and Marty Taupau in Saturday’s Rugby League World Cup clash with Samoa. Kiwis skipper Blair and Manlybased enforcer Taupau – as well as reserve Russell Packer – will lay the platform for Tuivasa-Sheck and company in Auckland. For Tuivasa-Sheck, it’ll be a long time coming. In his debut NRL campaign as Warriors captain, the 24-year-old rarely received quality service, playing behind a floundering pack for much of 2017. The Warriors were 10th for overall running metres and third last for offloads, punting on a more-cautious style under coach Stephen Kearney. They ultimately finished 13th, well out of finals contention. Tuivasa-Sheck hoped for more luck in the black and white jumper. Achieving pack dominance will be easier said than done against

Roger Tuivasa-Scheck Toa Samoa, who have monster forwards including Junior Paulo and Josh Papalii. “Playing and training behind these guys, I haven’t been feeling that much pressure – more excitement with the ball in hand,” Tuivasa-Sheck said. “With Marty, the way he can of-

fload, Adam Blair, all of that. Defensively, these guys will match up well against Samoa. “Marty’s a pretty big guy and there’s a few big dudes in the other team so it’ll be good.” Tuivasa-Sheck, who will play against four Warriors teammates in the Samoan squad, has plenty of history with this weekend’s Polynesian opponents. Born in the Samoan capital of Apia, Tuivasa-Sheck moved to Auckland as a child and went on to make his Test debut in 2013 against his birth nation. But on Saturday, it’ll be all business. Tuivasa-Sheck said he’d look to play more freely under coach David Kidwell’s new tactical set-up, dropping in and out of the Kiwis’ attack. “He sort of gives us a bit of licence to float around players, because that’s the sort of Kiwis style he wants. “Go down short side if there’s a mismatch, take them on if there’s a back-rower fatigued,” TuivasaSheck said. - AAP

The farmer-turned-professionalrugby-player will be joining the All Blacks for their northern tour, and he sounded like a kid who had gotten every single birthday and Christmas present for the next 20 years delivered in one day.

Friday, October 27, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Ailments of the soul require the healing balm of faith. As it is with all balms, the healing isn’t really in the ointment. The balm creates a condition in which the body can put itself back together. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Good news is fun to deliver. You’ll be tempted to leave the bad news for someone else to tell, or maybe if you ignore it, it will somehow go away. Hey, it’s actually worked before. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Being good can be hard. . It is possible you actually feel weary from constantly doing the right thing. Maybe there’s such a thing as being too good. You don’t need to do wrong, do nothing instead. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your encouragement will boost the morale of your group. Your role as cheerleader is crucial, because all those little extra things you do create cohesion. You’re the glue. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s a powerful, driving beat behind your love – a rhythm that moves everything forward. Just be careful not to overpower anyone with your energy, because that would be counterproductive to your desire. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Expectations are tricky. Often people rise to the guidelines that expectations impose. But right now, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what occurs when you loosen up in your expectations of a loved one. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The technology will fail, glitch and even seem to mock you today, but this is all a test of your patience, and ultimately easily solved. These issues make you extra appreciative of devices that serve you daily. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your deft handling of a delicate matter will earn you the trust and respect of the kind of intelligent, sensitive people who recognise the value of social skills such as yours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve come to the bridge. Appreciate all that went into building this shortcut that joins all the places you want to go. This appreciation may keep you from burning the bridge later. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The impossibilities may be, upon second thought, quite possible. In fact, there’s a whole range of things that might occur were any one of the elements involved to be changed or subtracted. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Sit quietly, processing your thoughts until you can accept what’s going on in your life. You might not get there, but you will make progress. There is no greater success than coming to terms with now. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): People trying to help often don’t know how. Friends might overstep boundaries. If there’s a choice between taking issue with something and letting it go, do the latter.

Sport Thurston ﬂying the ﬂag Injury has prevented him from playing in the Rugby League World Cup but Johnathan Thurston will have the honour of flying Australia’s flag at the tournament’s opening ceremony. The North Queensland playmaker is among 14 rugby league greats who will carry the flags for their countries before the opening clash between Australia and England in Melbourne tonight. Former great Ruben Wiki, the first New Zealander to play more than 300 NRL matches, is also in the group.

Wozniacki rolls Garcia Whether Simona Halep stays as World No.1 at the end of the year is in doubt after she was brushed aside 6-0 6-2 by Caroline Wozniacki at the WTA Finals in Singapore. Wozniacki confirmed her place in the semifinals after the win on Wednesday, qualifying from the Red Group and booking a spot alongside the White Group’s Karolina Pliskova. Halep must now equal or better the result here of World No.2 Garbine Muguruza to retain the crown.

Heartland’s Hammers BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Mid Canterbury Hammers will be well represented next Saturday when four of their players take to the field for the Heartland XV in a one-off match against New Zealand Marist. Lock Eric Duff will be making his fourth appearance for the team, while the competition’s leading try-scorer Maleli Sau makes his second appearance. Rampaging flanker Seta Koroitamana and first-five Jarred Percival have been called in to the team for the first time. “All four of the selections are justified and they really have been our stand-out players this season,” Mid Canterbury co-

coach Craig Dunlea said. “It is a brilliant experience and it is selected on form and they really have been outstanding all year.” For Percival, it was just one of his goals ticked off for this season. “It was a personal goal of mine when I transferred down here to make the team,” he said. “I don’t think there is anyone else apart from Duffy (Eric Duff), Seta (Koroitamana) and Lesa (Maleli Sau) in the team that I know because I am so new to the Heartland set-up so that should be interesting getting to meet them.” While Percival will be pulling on the black Heartland strip for

the first time, this will be lock Eric Duff’s fourth time representing the competition. “I probably understand what it is all about now,” he said. “For me the highlights are just getting to work with the new coaches and players, and it is always a high level of rugby. “The Marist team is normally very good so it is just a good way to cap off all the hard work of the season.” The four will join the Heartland camp next Tuesday, before the game at the Alpine Energy Stadium in Timaru on Saturday, November 4. South Canterbury’s Barry Matthews will coach the side once again.

“When you are coming together for one match, it’s important to pick guys in form, and these are the players who have impressed this season,” he said. “We had a good culture last season so we will look to build on that, do some one-on-one coaching and make sure it’s an enjoyable week. “It is a thrill for these guys to represent their provinces in this team.” The quartet will spot two familiar faces in the Marist team, with their Hammers’ teammates Angus Lindsay and Christian Vainerere selected to represent the side from their club team Ashburton Celtic.

Celtic rout Aberdeen Celtic has recorded a convincing 3-0 win at Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen. Only goal difference separated the sides before the game at Pittodrie but a huge gulf in class was revealed. First-half goals from Kieran Tierney and French striker Moussa Dembele had the Dons on the ropes. Dembele headed in a second in the 63rd minute and there could have been more before the end. The powerful, pacey and talented Hoops have now gone 61 domestic games unbeaten.
