CBD fountain moving on By Sue Newman

For more than 25 years a water sculpture has taken pride of place on Ashburton’s East Street green, but within two years it will be gone, relocated to a new home in the Ashburton Domain As plans firm up for the redevelopment and revitalisation of Ashburton’s town centre, both the water feature and the information centre building have been found wanting, they do not fit into the new streetscape plans that will give the CBD a more modern, spacious look. Rather than a green where both the water feature and information building disrupt pedestrian and cycle flows, the new-look town centre will be about creating open and useful spaces with clear pedestrian and cycle pathways. But when plans to move the water fea-

ture were discussed yesterday by Ashburton District councillors not everyone was happy with what was proposed. Town centre working group chairwoman Diane Rawlinson said it was important when the CBD was revitalised it did not come into a new era dragging some of its past behind. “It’s like doing up a house and bringing it into a modern era, but leaving the kitchen in the past,” she said. It was a no-brainer for Peter Reveley. The water feature would be a great addition to the domain, he said. Selwyn Price agreed with removing the water feature but said he wanted the council to keep an open mind on its future home. The domain might not be the best option, he said. Lynette Lovett was also open-minded on a future site but wanted assurances

the feature would not be removed and the site left vacant for months. The exact time frame for the relocation couldn’t be pinpointed yet, environmental services group manager Jane Donaldson said, as this would be tied in with when the landscape teams were ready to do paving, planting and the installation of cycle lanes in that area. The move, however, would be within two years, she said. While eight councillors and Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel were enthusiastic about the water feature’s relocation to a domain site, Neil Brown, Mark Malcolm, Russell Ellis and Sewlyn Price were not.

Mixed feelings to looming ban By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton retailers have mixed feelings about the single-use plastic shopping bag ban which comes in Monday, and one has been hit hard in the pocket. Bob McDonald at Ashburton’s Health 2000 said the Health 2000 group, of which he was the national chairman, had stocked up with compostable bags costing tens of thousands of dollars some months ago, only to find out the ban was to include them. This did not make sense to him, as the bags were entirely compostable. Additionally, he did not see the sense in the plastic bag ban to begin with. “There’s no such thing as a single-use plastic bag, most of them get used over and over again,” McDonald said. “We would be far better doing something about people who litter, with fines, because bags don’t jump into the ocean, someone puts them there,” he said. He is among Ashburton retailers who have been left with thousands of single-use plastic shopping bags as the deadline banning them nears. It seems such shop owners will have a lifetime-supply of bin liners and bags for general instore purposes, as they will not be able to provide any to customers from Monday onwards. This is when Waste Minimisation (Plastic Shopping Bags) Regulations 2018 come into force, after being announced in December to allow for a six month phasein period. The regulations apply to bags including those made of any type

WHICH BAGS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE BAN? ■■ Bags without handles including light-weight barrier bags, eg. bags without handles used for meat and produce ■■ Bin liners/rubbish bags ■■ Bags for pet waste or nappies ■■ Bags that form an integral part of a product’s packaging, eg. breadbags and pouches for cooked chicken ■■ Bags that do not contain plastic including bio-sourced plastics, eg. cotton, jute, hemp, paper and flax ■■ Long-life multi-use bags made from synthetic fabric, eg. nylon and polyester, between 45 and 70 microns in thickness Plastic is on the way out at Paper Plus, represented by retail assistant Norma Geddes, but it comes an at additional cost for the business. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 270619-SS-0010 of plastic less than 70 microns in thickness. These include bags with carry handles, and bags from bio-based materials such as starch and plastics designed to be degradable, bio-degradable or oxo-degradable, as New Zealand does not yet have appropriate processing facilities available. Terry McNab at Ashburton’s Paper Plus said customer demand for plastic bags had declined markedly over the last six months. “It’s just getting back into the habit, I remember years ago when

mum used to go to town she carried a basket, we have come full circle,” McNab said. He was not sure what to do with the thousands of plastic bags the business would be left with come Monday. And the paper bags the business was now supplying, with large ones provided to customers for 50 cents, came at a higher cost for the business. At The Warehouse and Warehouse Stationery, leftover bags will be given to a recycler and eventually turned into reusable plastic products such as plastic

pallets and cable covers. A Warehouse Group spokesperson said 100 per cent of the net proceeds from $1 reusable bags at the two chains will be given to charity, half going to supporting their local areas. The spokesperson said excess single-use plastic bag stock at Noel Leeming would be recycled and turned into store fixtures. “Noel Leeming stores will offer a $1 reusable bag with 100 per cent of net proceeds supporting Youthline.” Many owner-operators of busi-

nesses along East Street and in The Arcade yesterday said they supported the ban. Some had already been offering only paper bags, while others were still getting ready to make the transition. “We have always had brown paper bags, we have always thought that paper is better than plastic for the environment,” said Lyn at Fusion Gallery. The Ashburton District Council is asking businesses to drop their excess bags off at the Ashburton and Rakaia Resource Recovery Parks, free of charge, for recycling. And a soft plastics bin will be available at the Methven Recycling Drop Off Facility.

Council agrees to relocate East Street water feature From P1 For Ellis, the relocation was a cost ratepayers should not have to carry. “I’m against this because of the financial implications. Ratepayers are not a bottomless pit of money. Somewhere we have

to say no. We have some big projects on our books and a lot of money to spend over the next few years. We need to draw a line in the sand and say our ratepayers need a break,” he said. The cost of dismantling the fountain and rebuilding on a yet

he would not support tying the move to a location in the domain. The water feature design is based on the three major rivers that make up the Ashburton District.and is officially called Three Rivers.

The water feature is officially a sculpture and its structure is known as virbela flowforms. It was designed and casted by Iain Trousdell and was installed in late 1994 at the cost of $45,000, excluding pumps, rocks and construction of feature areas.

Olympus awaits Ashburton College ball-goers By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Once the finishing touches are complete, those attending tonight’s Ashburton College ball will be treated to an elegant, sophisticated night to enjoy. This year’s Ashburton College ball is themed Olympus Awaits, and the venue, the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, will be decorated with classical Greek pillars, ivy, fountains and statues, with a strong use of white and gold as colours. “There is a big variety of ancient Greek decorations and it is really enhanced from last year,” the committee said. “It is very elegant and quite different from last year.” It will be the fourth year the ball has been held at the Event Centre, and deputy principal Helen Shore-Taylor said the students are getting used to the environment they have to work with to prepare the ball. “Everyone knows what they are doing and everyone has a part to play,” she said. “The weather is also set to be great which is good.” Shore-Taylor said the public were more than welcome to come along and watch the students as they made their way down the red carpet and into the venue after being dropped off. “The event starts at 8pm and there will be tiered seating and lots of viewing for people to enjoy them walking down the red carpet along with the music and the decorations,” she said.

Local MPs back euthanasia bill NZME Mid Canterbury’s three MPs threw their weight behind a bill legalising voluntary euthanasia in Parliament on Wednesday night. Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, Selwyn MP Amy Adams and Labour List MP based in Rangitata Jo Luxton were among the 70 MPs who supported the End of Life Choice Bill, seeing it pass its second vote. Fifty MPs voted against it. While the vote appears decisive, with a majority of 20, it will require a shift of only 11 to block it at the third and final reading – and that makes New Zealand First’s nine MPs very important. The party has supported it at the first and second reading but only on the expectation that an

mother die a “painful and dehumanising” death. She told the House while she felt the legislation needed more work before it could become law, it contained “kernels” of what could be a system to give people a choice about how to die. She said the decision would be personal for many. “For me it was watching my mother die a gruesome, painful and dehumanising death,” she said. “If she had wanted to spend her last days drugged to the eyeballs feeling nothing I am sure that was possible. But that isn’t what she wanted. What she wanted was to be able to choose exactly when that end would come. “This was a woman who was proud, independent, intelli-

amendment will be passed putting it to a referendum at the next stage of debate. Act Leader David Seymour’s The End of Life Choice Bill passed after a debate in which many MPs shared emotional stories of personal loss. The bill legalises voluntary euthanasia by allowing adults with less than six months to live or those with a “grievous and irremediable medical condition” to request a lethal dose of medication. The vote now means debate over the bill will continue when it returns to the House in about a month, where hundreds of amendments will be proposed. As she threw her support behind the bill, National MP Amy Adams described watching her

gent, knew what she wanted. … Instead we watched her get literally eaten alive from a vicious melanoma and suffer.” Adams said her core concern was about the bill extending to those with “irremediable conditions”. Adams said her core concern was about the bill extending to those with “irremediable conditions”. Act leader Seymour has promised that if the bill passes its second reading, he’ll amend it to only apply to the terminally ill. That follows widespread concern the “irremediable condition” clause would put vulnerable people at risk of coercion. National MP Gerry Brownlee told Parliament the elderly and vulnerable would be put under pressure if the bill passed, saying

it would have “coercive power”. “It would be unfortunate if we were to see peoples starting to think: ‘well I’ve had a good innings. So now maybe I should opt to make the choice that makes it easy for so many others’,” he said. Brownlee described having to tell his mother she would die within a month if she didn’t get treatment for her brain cancer or that she could live a year-and-ahalf if she fought it. “She just sat up and said ‘What a month? … Bugger that, I’ll have the treatment’. And it wasn’t easy. It was awful. But she did as much from her desire for us to have a farewell,” he said. “I don’t think we should have a bill, passed into an act, that makes that choice to end a life so much easier than it is at the moment.”

■■MT HUTT

Snowmakers to the rescue By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mt Hutt Ski Area’s boost to its snowmaking system this year is paying dividends as Mother Nature fails to deliver. Like most skifields South Island-wide, a lack of real snow is keeping mountain ridges exposed and most expert terrain closed. But Mt Hutt has benefited from the high pressure system dominating New Zealand weather this week, causing frosts, low humidity and still conditions. Additionally it has the advantage of being about 2000 metres above sea level. This compares to Treble Cone, which has had to delay its opening, at 1250 metres. Following its last significant snowfall early this month, Mt Hutt has been able to top up its main trails, with this week in particular enabling it to set itself up for the season. Manager James McKenzie said the base on main trails had built from around 45 centimetres and less to 60 centimetres over the past week. Snowmakers were working

around the clock and each night alone were pumping from 3000 to 5000 tonnes of snow out, and on a really cold night this could get as high as 10,000 tonnes. Getting the best coverage was assisted by new SNOWsat technology on groomers. “That just allows us to spread the piles of snow created by the guns more evenly across the trails,” McKenzie said. The snow was “squeaky winter snow”. “It’s a very smooth refined product, man-made snow, and it actually skis very, very nicely.” Additionally it was more hard-wearing than natural snow, and he was confident the ski area would have a good base leading into the New Zealand school holidays beginning in a week’s time. Meanwhile, forecasters do not have strong hopes of another big snowfall soon. MetService meteorologist Andy Best said there was the possibility of a front on Monday or Tuesday next week, but a period of warming was associated with it. This meant precipitation could fall as rain, rather than snow.

Life begins for Village Green By Sue Newman

Left – A red letter day for John Skevington and Jo Ruane as earthmoving equipment moves on site at the Village Green housing development on the terrace above Lake Hood

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a long, winding and at time tortuous road for John Skevington and Jo Ruane, but their hard work was rewarded this week when earthmoving equipment moved on to the site of their housing development. The couple have spent several years of planning and sheer hard graft to take their dream of a housing development on terraced land above Lake Hood from drawing board to reality. Along the way they’ve surmounted several hurdles that would have stopped a less determined and committed couple. But finally those hurdles have been cleared and work on the road for the first stage of the development has started. They can’t stop smiling. Ruane said she’s still coming to terms with the project getting under way. “We had to pinch ourselves when we saw the first bit of the road dug,” she said. After so many years of planning, Skevington said there was a real sense of satisfaction in knowing work was finally under way. “Seeing the road taking shape

means we can actually see the subdivision taking place.” The T-connection that will link Village Green into the Ashburton urban water supply is in place and marker posts define sections and that means marketing of lots

can begin in earnest, he said. “We had a meeting in the frost on site on Monday morning and it’s been all go since then.” Titles for sections are likely to be available by the end of this year.

It’s been a 13-year project that will see a village green style development on land that was once owned by Skevington’s grandmother. He bought the land 23 years ago with no clear plan for its future,

other than it perhaps becoming the site of his retirement home. “It’s been an exciting project for both of us, but very frustrating at times. We’ve spent a lot of money and we could easily have walked away and sold the block. It’s been a long, long road and it’s taken a lot of tenacity and pig-headedness,” Skevington said. Less than half the 20-hectare block will be used for housing, the remainder will be landscaped green space. It will be subdivided in a way that no more house lots can be created in the future. Nine sections will be offered in the first stage of the development and the project has the capacity to be developed over four stages. All house lots are angled towards the sun and have views, and there are height, style and fencing covenants in place.

Cash still big player in Mid Cantabrians’ personal spending By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Reserve Bank might have painted a question mark over the future of cash transactions in New Zealand, but in Ashburton cash is still king for many. With statistics telling us the use of cash is on the decline, the NZRB published an issues paper asking the public whether cash was still relevant for today’s consumers. It wants to know what the public thinks so it can make decisions around the future of cash and be prepared for future innovations. Part of that planning is to ensure that sectors of society were not unfairly disadvantaged because cash might be falling out

of favour, RBNZ governor Adrian Orr said. The bank wants discussion and feedback so it can refine its views and develop options to help manage the future of cash. While some people rarely use cash, the amount of cash in circulation in New Zealand has continued to rise. Norway and Sweden are the only two countries where the amount of cash in circulation is falling. A national survey carried out in 2017 showed that 96 per cent of the adult population still used cash, but that older people were those who used cash more frequently. The survey also found that 80 per cent of New Zealanders carried some cash in their

wallets and that 30 per cent had cash stored somewhere other than in a bank. Kiwis still clearly like cash, but younger Kiwis are less cash dependent than seniors. For many, cash was seen as something they stashed for emergencies and for others it was kept for small transactions. The survey found that just 1 per cent of people use cash for purchases over $500, but Ashburton retailer Terry McNabb said he’s seeing a different picture. About 35 per cent of Kiwis said they used their debit card for purchases below $5 and 52 per cent said they used it for purchases between $20 and $100. Just 36 per cent of Kiwis said they used their

debit card for purchases over $500. Ashburton Paper Plus owner McNabb said that while the days of cash-only over the counter and bill payments by cheque have long gone, there are still plenty of customers who pay for purchases with cash. Eftpos, however, was now the norm for many, he said. His business recently took over Ashburton’s New Zealand Post agency, and in that area, there was a surprising amount of cash transacted, McNabb said. “It’s still out there, definitely still out there. What I am seeing is that people might be paying by card, but they still have cash in their wallets; they say it helps them budget.”

McNabb is not a cash carrier, but said he believes it will be a long time before we become a cashless society. Somerset Grocer owners Mark and Nicky Milmine say that transactions by card significantly outweigh cash. “It’s card, card, card nowadays,” Mark Milmine said. Even small transactions of a couple of dollars are being paid by eftpos and for a cafe, card users and payWave were a bonus because it kept business moving at the counter, he said. The full future of cash report can be found on the NZ Reserve Bank website www.rbnz.govt.nz/ news/2019/06/whats-the-futurefor-cash-in-new-zealand

■■AUCKLAND DISTRICT COURT

In brief

Minister jailed for sex abuse NZME A disgraced Ratana Church Minister has been jailed for a raft of sexual abuse charges against young boys. His offending was described as “very predatory” in court, and his victims – who gave evidence as adult men – were commended for their courage and willingness to seek justice. Daniel Brass Raharaha Nehemia pleaded guilty to historic child sex offending in April. The guilty plea came part-way through a trial in the Auckland District Court, after two of his three victims had given harrowing evidence about his offending which occurred between 1977 and 1999. Nehemia, who was ordained as a minister in 2015, was convicted on three charges of indecencies between males, four of indecencies with a boy and two of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection. His victims were aged 8, 10 and 11 at the time. Nehemia was known to all of their families and he abused all of the boys in their home environments. Yesterday at sentencing, Crown prosecutor Brian Dickey

Child sex offender Daniel Nehemia at sentencing in the Auckland District Court. sought a jail term of just under seven years for the repeat sex offender. He said Nehemia’s offending on boys, who were vulnerable due to their age, was profound and had lasting impacts on them. “The assaults were very predatory,” Dickey told the court. “He had existing ties or relationships with them ... these were very much predatory attacks ... there was little other engagement with these children

apart from to gratify his own sexual needs and wants. “There was an abuse of trust ... all three victims have expressed the view that [Nehemia] should go to jail.” Dickey said the first two victims gave “powerful” evidence at trial. The third did not get a chance before Nehemia changed his plea. “I commend his fortitude, strength, integrity in seeing the matter through, his willingness

to give evidence at trial,” said Dickey. That victim was in court, flanked by family and the officer in charge of the investigation, to see his abuser sentenced. The court heard that during an interview for a pre-sentence report Nehemia told a probation officer that he denied any offending. However the court was assured by defence lawyer Peter Tomlinson that Nehemia stood by his guilty plea and accepted any sentence handed down. Judge Russell Collins read the summary of facts in full, outlining the sickening offending. During one particularly horrific assault, Nehemia told his young victim “don’t say anything, no one will believe you”. “It took great courage for them, in a court room full of strangers, to talk about the things that happened to them when they were young children,” Judge Collins said. “Their evidence was extraordinarily powerful – anyone in that courtroom would not have had any doubt at all that they were telling the truth.” Judge Collins sentenced Nehemia to five years and 10 months in prison.

Megan Woods to lead KiwiBuild ‘reset’ NZME Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced that Kris Faafoi has been promoted into Cabinet and will join a “new team of housing Ministers”. Faafoi – Minister of Civil Defence and a number of other portfolios – was tipped to receive a promotion. He was what’s called a Minister outside Cabinet – he has Ministerial portfolios but was not a permanent member of the Ministerial Cabinet. Ardern yesterday said his promotion will see him join a “new

team of housing Ministers”. Megan Woods will lead this new team of housing Ministers and is now responsible for the KiwiBuild reset. Faafoi is in charge of public housing and homelessness. Phil Twyford, who was Housing Minister, will be in charge of urban development. He will no longer be responsible for housing. Woods picks up Housing from Twyford, but loses Government Digital Services. She is also no longer the Minister Responsible for the Earthquake Commission.

David Parker’s Economic Development portfolio was given to Twyford. Nanaia Mahuta has been given the associate Minister of Housing (Maori Housing) portfolio. Ardern would not comment on impending changes to Kiwibuild, saying she would leave it for the reset announcement. Ardern said the new housing Ministers were not an admission that Twyford had failed, but that is was a job for more than one minister. She said a lot had gone right in housing, such as state housing, but many things had gone

wrong and that was why other ministers had been brought in. Woods and Faafoi would bring a fresh perspective into housing, Ardern said. She defended Twyford and said he had pursued an “extensive housing agenda”. Grant Robertson becomes Minister Responsible for the Earthquake Commission, Jenny Salesa becomes Minister of Customs, Peeni Henare becomes Minister of Civil Defence and a small number of associate delegations change. Ruth Dyson will be nominated for the role of Assistant Speaker.

Sudden death Emergency services were called to an address on Racecourse Road at around 9.20pm on Wednesday night. A police spokesperson said it was a sudden death incident that was not suspicious and that it has been referred to the coroner.

Arrest in brazen theft A man has been arrested for allegedly using a front-end loader to rip an ATM from the wall of a small Bay of Plenty town’s bank and then take off down the street with it. The brazen theft took place from the New Zealand Credit Union in Murupara in the early hours of June 3, with the ATM later found abandoned and intact in the nearby Kaingaroa Forest. A 27-year-old Kawerau man had now been arrested and charged over the burglary. He will appear in the Whakatane District Court on July 10. - NZME

Appealing conviction A man jailed for life over the gruesome execution-style killing of a Rebels Motorcycle Club gang member is appealing his conviction. Both Kasha William Gosset and Cody Derek Martin pointed the finger at each other for carrying out the cold-blooded murder. But they were held equally responsible in court after a jury found them guilty of murdering Bradley Lomax. Yesterday, the Court of Appeal in Wellington confirmed that Gosset has filed an appeal against his conviction. No dates have been set. -NZME

Excessive force used A police officer used excessive force during a Huntly house party arrest and made comments to the effect of “some of these kids got what they deserved”, the police watchdog has ruled. The inquiry began after a fellow officer reported concerns that colleagues were “beating the s*** out of” a suspect. Landing blows that included “elbow strikes, knee strikes, kicks, and punches” while the male was screaming, he said. Police’s investigation and subsequent legal advice found there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any officers involved, he said. Based on that information, the matter has been closed. - NZME

■■IRAN

Uranium threat issued AP Iran will exceed limits on low-enriched uranium set by the 2015 nuclear accord unless Britain, France and Germany take timely, practical steps to preserve the agreement that is “now in critical condition,” the Iranian ambassador to the UN said yesterday. Majid Takht Ravanchi told a Security Council meeting that the three European countries, which support the deal, and the United States, which pulled out of it, will have to “accept the full responsibility for any possible consequences” if serious steps aren’t taken. Britain, France, Germany and three other European Union countries responded by strongly urging Iran to abide by the agreement and “refrain from escalatory steps”. French Ambassador Francois Delattre warned the council that “any even partial cessation of Iran’s commitments would have negative consequences in terms of the risk of nuclear proliferation, and would further destabilise the region.” Iran said June 17 that it would surpass the deal’s 300-kilogram limit on low-enriched uranium by today, and has recently quadrupled its production. It also threatened to raise enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels on July 7 if the three European countries that still support the 2015

Groping case to proceed A judge rejected Cuba Gooding Jr.’s bid to throw out his New York City groping case so he can continue working, saying she needed time to review written arguments and didn’t want to make a rash decision. Judge Keisha Espinal said she wouldn’t rule on the actor’s request to dismiss the misdemeanor case until August 14, dashing his and his lawyers’ hopes of swiftly scotching 2-week-old charges that he grabbed a woman’s breast at a Manhattan bar, which he denies. The star’s film projects could be in jeopardy if the case drags on and he has to shuttle between his Hollywood home and a Manhattan courthouse for hearings.

Iran President Hassan Rouhani listens to explanations on new nuclear achievements in Tehran, Iran. PHOTO AP agreement don’t offer a new deal. Under the 2015 agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran agreed to limit its enrichment of uranium and submit to UN inspections in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. But President Donald Trump

pulled the United States out of the accord in May 2018 and has imposed increasingly tough US sanctions to pressure Iran to negotiate a better deal – and the US has threatened sanctions against countries that trade with Iran. Ravanchi told the council that the “US economic war,” including attempts to cut

Iran’s oil exports to zero and disrupt its trade, had in practical terms left the nuclear agreement “respected by only one party”. “A multilateral agreement cannot be implemented unilaterally,” he said. “Iran alone cannot, shall not and will not take all of the burdens anymore to preserve the JCPOA.”

■■EUROPE

France on alert as heatwave hits Europe AP The sunset had an orange glow. So did the extreme weather warning for Paris. Meteorologists placed more than half of France, including around the capital, on alert for high temperatures as a heatwave was expected to spread across continental Europe this week. National weather agency Meteo France predicted the hot weather could produce temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius across the country just as the summer tourist season shifts into high gear. The French weather agency set the heat warning level at orange – the second-highest intensity on its four-level categorisation system for potentially dangerous conditions requiring public “vigilance”. In Paris, charity organisations patrolled the streets to provide homeless people with water, while local authorities organised air-conditioned public places where people could seek shelter from the heat.

Jean-Michel Blanquer, deciding it was too hot to study, ordered national exams taken by students heading to high school postponed to next week. International soccer federation FIFA could face implementing heat precautions at the Women’s World Cup, which France is hosting. The precautions include holding

cooling breaks during matches and postponing games if the heat is too intense. Women’s World Cup matches are scheduled every day this week, except Wednesday and Sunday. Luckily, most were set to be played at night. France introduced a heat watch warning system after a long, deadly heatwave in August 2003. The highest tem-

peratures in more than half a century eventually were estimated to have caused 15,000 heat-related deaths, many of older people left in city apartments and retirement homes without air conditioning. French President Emmanuel Macron said vigilance was the watchword for the week. “As you know, at times like these, sick people, pregnant women, infants and elderly people are the most vulnerable. So we must be vigilant with them and have prevention measures in place in order to intervene as quickly as possible,” Macron said. French Health Minister Agnes Buzyn said that “everything is ready” in retirement homes, hospitals and transportation systems. “Yet when people are fragile, even when everything is organised, there’s always a higher mortality rate,” she warned. Meteorologists said hot winds from the Sahara Desert brought the scorching weather to Europe. Similar heat is expected in Belgium, Switzerland and Germany.

Bounty Hunter’s wife dies Beth Chapman, the brash wife and costar of Dog the Bounty Hunter reality TV star Duane “Dog” Chapman, has died. A family spokeswoman said Chapman died at Queen’s Medical Centre after an almost two-year battle with cancer. She was 51. She was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017. A tumour was removed and she was declared cancer-free. But in November 2018, she was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. “This is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain,” Duane Chapman posted on Twitter. “Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.”

Stranger Things still Stranger Things’ third season is just a week away – but Aucklanders have a chance to return to the Upside Down even sooner. Performers Lee Smith-Gibbons and Tom Sainsbury are this week putting on a parody show titled Strange Thing (Or . . . What About Barb?), in which they retell the first season with a cast of actors and comedians. Smith-Gibbons says the idea to tackle Stranger Things came from one direction. “My friend Matthew Crawley was saying he wanted to do some performance stuff. I was thinking about what the next thing we should do, and basically, because of his haircut, I was like, ‘He should be Eleven, and we should do Stranger Things’.

Sell your house in winter

People often believe that winter is a bad time to sell a property, based on the diminished number of houses for sale. However, people always need to buy houses and few manage to arrange their lives to fit so neatly into the seasons. Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate Authority (REA), says the smaller percentage of houses on the market is good news for sellers. “If you choose to put your property up for sale in winter then there’s more chance of it standing out because there’s less competition,” he says. “There’s no one ‘perfect’ time to sell your property, because everyone’s situation is different. You’ll never be able to control the weather, so you’re best to focus on what you can influence and make the most of the opportunities you have.” 1. Get expert advice Lampen-Smith recommends discussing your plans with a licensed real estate agent who has a good track record in your area. “They will have the inside knowledge and statistics on when properties sell best. Talk to them and ask what demand is like in the winter months.

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

Get their opinion on whether you can sell now, or whether you’re better off waiting for spring.” 2. Work out what ‘homework’ you need to do There are plenty of practical things you can do to make your home attractive to potential buyers in winter, Lampen-Smith says. “You don’t have to completely renovate – ask the agent what will be the most cost-effective fixes for your property. It can also be useful to take a look at other properties for sale and see what you’re up against.” 3. Keep it cosy “If you have a particularly efficient heating system, make sure it’s included in the marketing plan,” Lampen-Smith says.

The best dreams START WITH

“Work out what you can do to deal with problems like condensation and keep the home well-aired. Make sure the heating is on during viewings and open homes, but don’t over-do it.” 4. Don’t neglect the garden Potential buyers want to see a property that looks tidy and low maintenance, even in the bleak of winter. “Make sure all trees and shrubs are pruned, lawns are mowed and any rubbish is taken away. Keep paths and driveways swept and remove any mould or moss,” Lampen-Smith says.

5. Be honest and up-front “Treat any potential buyers as you would like to be treated yourself,” Lampen-Smith says. “If your property is subject to particular problems in winter, like a boggy section or a leaking roof, it’s far better to discuss these issues (and any possible remedies) with your real estate agent before you put it on the market. Pretending these problems don’t exist, or lying about them, is a bad look whatever the season.” For independent guidance and information on buying or selling, check out settled.govt.nz.

Every organisational challenge is different, but the causes of clutter in each room of a house are often similar: People have either too much stuff or inadequate storage spaces — or both. Here’s a room-by-room rundown of the biggest clutter culprits and what to do about them. Master bedroom A bedroom should feel like a sanctuary. Not a magazine-style refuge, but at least a space that is calming. In many homes, however, the master bedroom is messy at best and overcrowded at worst. Clothes are often not put away neatly — or at all — and books and magazines sit stacked on the floor or piled on nightstands. If clothing is cluttering your master bedroom, the first step is to eliminate items that don’t fit or that you don’t wear. Then find or create storage solutions that will adequately fit your belongings. Try to think through whether you need more shelving, a larger dresser or more hanging space. If you have a designated space for everything, it will be easy to put items away. Give yourself a month to read a magazine and then recycle it or give it to a friend. Only books you are currently reading should be bedside; all others should be on shelves, either in your bedroom or elsewhere in the house. If you don’t have enough space on your bookshelves, it’s time to cull your collection to make room. Kitchen Our kitchens are the most-used room in our homes, making them particularly prone to clutter and disorganisation. The biggest culprits in kitchens are too many plastic storage containers and water bottles, as well as an overabundance of mugs and glassware. Whether your kitchen is big or small, maximising the most accessible storage areas is vital. But too often, people’s primary cabinets and drawers are overcrowded. Every six months, go

through your water bottles and plastic containers and donate or recycle any surplus. Because let’s be honest, a family of four does not need 16 water bottles. Nor do we need to save every Chinese food delivery container just in case it might be useful some day. Try to make do with less. Bathrooms There’s typically not a lot of storage space in bathrooms, but people still try to cram a ton of beauty products, medicine, first-aid supplies and toiletries into tiny vanities. Resist the temptation to bring home shampoo, conditioner and soaps from hotels, and don’t accept free samples at stores. You don’t need them and will likely never use them. Assess what you really need to have in your bathroom and maximise cabinet, drawer and wall spaces with dividers and shelving. And find another location to store medications, if possible. It’s better to have them in a place where temperatures and humidity levels don’t fluctuate. Dining room In many homes, the dining room is rarely used for dining, but the abundance of flat surfaces makes it an appealing place to set items down to deal with later — incoming and outgoing mail and boxes, gifts you’ve received or plan to give, school projects, newspapers and magazines, completed Lego sets. I actually think it’s okay to take advantage of an underused first-floor room for transitional items. The key is to keep up with it. Objects cannot “live” in your dining room for months, or years, and if you’re using the room for long-term storage, it’s time to reassess what — and how much — you’re bringing into your home, as well as changes that may be needed to other storage spaces. Family room Family members should feel comfortable spending time together in this casual room, so don’t aim for absolute organisational perfection. However, comfortable and casual doesn’t equal messy. Maybe even more than in other rooms, it’s vital

to designate a specific place for everything so everyone knows how to clean up. Newspapers can go in a basket, games and toys should be stored in cabinets or bins, and books should live on bookshelves. At least once a year, go through games, toys and books and determine what can be donated. While kids are school-age, there will be a constant churn of items coming in and going out, and it’s optimal to purge frequently. Hallway The most frequent clutter issues in entry areas and mudrooms are unpacked bags. Whether the bags are filled with sports gear or school papers, they should be gone through weekly, their contents properly stored. When there are multiple unpacked bags on the floor, it’s harder for people to find what they’re looking for. And when they can’t locate their water bottle, socks, jacket or pencil box, they go out and buy more, which means there is more to organise and more to store. Garage Garages were primarily used for parking cars in decades past, but more recently they’ve become overflow storage space for almost everything — except cars. Why? Mostly because people continue to buy more stuff than they can store inside. Whether you would like to park your car in the garage or not, establish some guidelines for what can and cannot be stored in the garage. If you decide that sports gear and bikes, camping and garden supplies, tools and holiday decorations are allowed, buy some heavy-duty shelving to maximize wall space, and create sections for each category. But the only way this works is if everyone adheres to the rules, which is often a challenge. The best way to avoid having your garage become a dumping ground may be to go back to the basics and use it to park your car. Kids’ rooms With very few exceptions, kids’

P.A.

*At the time of printing rooms are difficult to keep organised, primarily because so much stuff makes it into their rooms — toys, trinkets, crafts, stuffed animals, awards, pictures and more. And that’s in addition to what actually needs to be in there, such as clothing, books and schoolwork. Keep a child’s room organised by making sure there is adequate and accessible storage space and to spend time cleaning or purging items every few weeks. Depending on the age and disposition of the child, you can spend time purging by yourself or with your child’s help. Even though the process takes longer with a child, engaging them in the process is important so they can eventually make their own decisions about their belongings. Clothes and books can be culled each season to keep up with their growth. Home office Not surprisingly, the biggest clutter offender in offices is often paper. Even if a home office is primarily used for someone’s job, it’s also often where papers related to house maintenance are stored, as well as bills, financial documents and school papers. All of this paper requires sufficient storage and time to organise. Unfortunately, many households are in short supply of both. Setting up a proper filing system and managing papers on a daily or weekly basis should be a priority. Time spent setting up a functional filing system and designating a space for incoming papers will save you that time and frustration later. No one has ever regretted creating an efficient paper-flow process.

Topless - if you dare

ub-editor Steve Devereux does it, I do it and Bernard Egan used to do it. Drive topless cars that is! For others who so do, the weather up until Queens Birthday weekend certainly invited such indulgence. But now, even with the benefits of this C43 Cabriolet’s furnace-like heating system, the heated (and ventilated) front sports seats and the air-scarves with warm air flowing out from the front headrests for the driver and front passenger’s necks, for many it will still be a case of carefully choosing the day and time thereof for topless experiences. There’s little doubt this two-door car cuts a real dash and looks at its best topless, especially with the frame-less side windows also down. With the press of a button, the very well-insulated, soft-top hood disappears, without trace in just 20 seconds. While this can done while on the move, I didn’t try this. But I did the key-fob control thing while approaching, which meant it was topless and ready to go before climbing in. AMG is the Mercedes-Benz high performance arm. With this C43, AMG’s input is rather subtle, but very effective and includes the special wheels, interior finishings, badging, 4Matic all-wheel-drive and the neat controllable exhaust noise system. Controllable, because AMG obviously reckon, that in appropriate circumstances topless motorists expect and appreciate rich exhaust music as part of the deal. This I enjoyed even more, because the

FINALE This sportily plush C43 cabriolet with its style and price is undoubtedly a niche car. But one that delivers, with a great combination of luxurious topless motoring with strong but quiet performance. Or then, if you so wish, can be rather quick and louder!

test car came with the optional sports exhaust system which delivered, on request, some delightful, throaty sounds . What’s under the bonnet and providing both the sound and urge is a very smooth, quiet if you so want, 3.0-litre turbo-petrol V6, which delivers 287kW at 6100rpm and a nice linear 520Nm of torque from 2500 to 5000rpm. The latter means there’s lots of V8-like urgency, right from low down to quickly (very so in Sport+ mode) whisk you away. But for everyday driving, you don’t need to exceed 2500rpm. Depending on which of the selectable drive modes you choose (Comfort is the default one) at a 100km/h cruise, the rev-counter can show just over 1200rpm. Even in Comfort, its a keen but very smooth performer, while delivering a quality ride and neat handling. All of which is likely to suit most drivers, especially so with passengers on board, and perhaps with economy in mind. Sport means things happen even more urgently. Then choosing Sport+ means super-quick responses from the engine, while the always slick changing 9-speed auto goes into fast change mode and the steering and suspension further stiffen up. It all adds up to a serious performance package, with 0 to 100km/h possible in just 4.8 seconds, and while top speed is limited to 250km/h, Ruapuna Raceway is Sport+ territory. Also the suspension settings can be changed separate to the aforementioned drive modes. However just using those modes will

likely keep most drivers more than happy, for in any of them its always a pleasure through corners. Of course the all-wheel-drive adds to the car’s sure-footedness. Sliding behind the wheel into the luxurious, shapely front seats in white leather, there’s plenty of adjustment on hand. The smart-looking dash has a large centre screen and the other digital dials appearances and colours can be changed by touch pads. As well there’s a fantastic-sounding Burmester surround-sound system, changeable colour ambient interior lighting and a head-up display. Getting in/out for two the rear passengers is relatively easy. Once in, there’s adequate leg space, although depending on how far back the front seats are, this may be a bit tight for longer trips. While for topless winter driving those in the front are totally cosy with all their heating comforts, they in the rear mostly miss out on these, so its a cases of toughening up, and making sure the wind blocker and side windows are up. The many latest driver assistance

systems include a surround-view camera for parking and active cruise control with stop/go. Safety-wise there’s an array of airbags, active assist systems for the drivers attention, collision prevention, cross-traffic, evasive steering assist, blind spot, lane keeping and more including excellent reactive LED headlights.

RACETRACK READY

he 718 family welcomes new members: with the new 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4, Porsche introduces two particularly emotional and powerful top models to claim top spot in the model series. Their pure character will appeal to sports car enthusiasts who delight in unadulterated driving pleasure and appreciate a high level of agility and an almost intimate proximity to the centre of power. The perfectly balanced mid-engine concept offers all this. For the first time ever, the 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4 share a technical base. This includes the newly developed four-litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, together with a six-speed manual transmission. The boxer engine generates 309 kW (420 PS) in both models. Whilst the GT4 represents the entry-level GT road model from Porsche, the Spyder lends itself to all kinds of curves. Both rely on highly efficient aerodynamics, a full GT chassis and powerful brakes.

At the heart of both models is the new four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine. The naturally aspirated engine is based on the same engine family as the turbo engines in the current 911 Carrera model series. The new high-revving engine generates 309 kW (420 PS) – 35 PS more than in the GT4 predecessor models. The third generation of the Spyder even has 45 PS more. It delivers a maximum torque of 420 newton metres at between 5000 and 6800 rpm. The manual transmission sports cars can both break the 300 km/h barrier: the 718 Spyder has a top speed of 301 km/h, whilst the 718 Cayman GT4 can reach 304 km/h. Both models accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds from a standing start. The correlated fuel consumption of the mid-engine sports cars is 10.91/100 km according to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). The fascinating character of this naturally aspirated engine combines a modern

gasoline particulate filter emission control system with the linear power delivery and the immediate response of a GT engine. It has a maximum engine speed of 8000 revolutions. The unparalleled boxer sound remains untouched. Piezo injectors are used for direct fuel injection for the first time ever in a high-revving engine. They split each injection process into up to five individual injections. This supports a complete – and therefore emissions-friendly – combustion process. A variable intake system with two resonance valves ensures optimum gas exchange in the cylinders. Among the striking features of the 718 Cayman GT4 is the comprehensively improved aerodynamics concept. It produces up to 50 per cent more

Thrillseekers choose Mini

ew research reveals that Brits would prefer to drive a classic Mini over high speed thrills, such as in a Jaguar E-Type. Indeed, as Mini anniversary celebrations take place across the UK in 2019, www.trackdays.co.uk confirms that Mini track experiences are outselling other higher speed classic experiences by 15 per cent year to date. The surprising revelation is further good news for the iconic, and much-loved marque, in a milestone year. Imran Malek, operations manager at TrackDays, said: “Our latest research indicates that our love affair with the Mini is stronger than ever in its 60th anniversary.

“Many drivers would prefer to get behind the wheel of this iconic compact, which still packs its own punch, rather than experience even faster thrills in some of the other classics available to drive such as the Jaguar E-Type. “It really is great to see that the enduring appeal of one of Britain’s most popular classics is attracting such high levels of bookings.” Further analysis shows that the average age of customers booking a classic Mini driving experience is between 55 and 65 years. Imran added: “Driving a classic Mini is a great way to turn back the clock. Given the average age of customers, it would seem many want to pay homage to a car that was so important in their youth.”

downforce, without adversely affecting drag – proof of outstanding efficiency. The aerodynamics of both models benefit enormously from the newly designed single-chamber arch rear silencer: it creates space in the rear section for a functional diffuser, which accounts for a good 30 per cent of the downforce at the rear axle in the 718 Cayman GT4. The fixed rear wing is also marked by greater efficiency: it produces around 20 per cent more downforce compared with its predecessor. This corresponds to an additional downforce of twelve kilograms at 200 km/h. The front section, which is optimised in the GT style, maintains the aerodynamic balance with a large front spoiler lip and so-called air curtains. The latter calm the air flow along the front wheels.

Dramatic one-two for Toyota

oyota Gazoo Racing won the 87th Le Mans 24 Hours with a one-two finish at the Circuit de la Sarthe following a dramatic final hour of the 2018-2019 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season. Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso, in the #8 TS050 HYBRID, defended their Le Mans crown and secured the drivers’ World Championship in the process, winning by 16.9secs from team-mates Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López in the #7. The Le Mans 24 Hours race was Fernando’s last WEC for Toyota Gazoo Racing. He has been replaced for the next season by New Zealander, Brendon Hartley. The #7 car had been heading for a certain victory towards the closing stages of the race but was denied the win in a dramatic finish. On the 367th lap, with a lead of over two minutes, data on the #7 car indicated a puncture and José pitted to replace the tyre. A sensor issue resulted in the wrong tyre being identified, meaning José left the pits still with a deflating tyre. That necessitated a slow lap back to the pits when all four tyres were changed, handing an unassailable lead to Kazuki in the #8. The #7 crew had controlled much of the contest, having set the fastest-ever Le Mans race lap of 3mins 17.297secs. Other motorsport records were rewritten too; Kazuki became the first circuit-racing World Champion from Japan and Fernando is the second driver to win four-wheel world titles in two different disciplines, having previously been crowned Formula One champion.

Beef shin ragu

■■ Preheat the oven to 150°C. ■■ Season the beef with a little salt and pepper. Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan over a very high heat and sear the beef to brown all over (you may need to do this in two batches). Set the beef aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter and another dash of oil to the pan and cook the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and oregano for about 7-10 minutes until the vegetables are soft. ■■ Add the tomato paste and anchovies and cook for

1 6 another few minutes. Add the wine, turn up the heat and let it bubble for 30 seconds. Add the stock and the bay leaf. If your pan is ovenproof, add the beef and its juices back to the pan and cover with the lid or, transfer everything to a covered casserole dish. ■■ Bake in the oven for 3 hours, stirring a couple of times to ensure the beef stays mostly covered with liquid. ■■ Remove the meat with tongs and place on a clean board. Remove and discard the bones and pull the beef into chunks with two forks. If necessary, at this point you can simmer the sauce in a saucepan on the stovetop to reduce and thicken it. Add the meat back into the sauce, taste and season as required. ■■ Spoon the meat sauce onto the hot pasta and sprinkle with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Serve with a side of green salad.

OUR VIEW

How would you choose to die? E

very now and again, as individuals, we have to stand up and be counted and let the world know what we think. While we all hold strong opinions on some issues, we’re all guilty of, on occasion,of failing to stand up and be counted, in going with the majority. Sometimes that’s done for expediency, sometimes because we need to toe a particular group or organisation line. But there are times when you have to put your big girl or boy pants on and speak up for what you believe. And that’s what our politicians were asked to do when Act Leader David Seymour’s End of Life Choice Bill came up for its second reading.

No hiding behind party lines, votes were cast according to conscience and for most MPs this would be the most emotionally challenging vote casting they’ve been ask to make. There were plenty of emotional speeches and stories of personal experiences with family members dying painful deaths to support their votes. The bill had the numbers and it will now move onto a third and

final reading, but between now and then anything can happen. Minds can change, votes can be cast differently. There are never any guarantees. What’s at stake is the most contentious, the most challenging of all issues – the right to end your life rather than facing a painful, slow and undignified death. If asked whether that’s how they’d like to spend the last days of their life, most would say no. This bill that Seymour has laboured over for so long is about giving a person with a ‘grievous and irremediable medical condition’ the right to request a lethal dose of medication. It includes a raft of conditions including age, being sound of

mind and able to give permission and oversight by medical and other professionals. In simple words, it’s about carefully controlled choice, giving a person who is at the end of their life, the right to hasten that end so it comes with dignity . . . That so many (more than 40,000) have already made submissions on the bill indicates just how strongly New Zealanders feel about this issue. And that most of those were in opposition shows how much people fear this bill could be more far reaching than intended. The question we should all be asking ourselves is this – if you knew you were dying, that death would come within a few short months, but that those months

would be months of pain and a diminishing quality of life, wouldn’t you want the right to say – enough. Most will say yes. Understandably there are concerns over the right to die being interpreted far more widely than intended, there are fears it could be used to terminate lives for reasons of convenience. that’s where the wording, the conditions and the safeguards are critical. At the end of the day this bill will do nothing more than give those who are out of options, one final option – the choice to end their life a few months early while they are still in control. Do I support the End of Life Choice Bill? My vote is a resounding yes.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, June 28, the 179th day of 2019. There are 186 days left in the year. Today’s highlights in history: On June 28, 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the University of California-Davis Medical School to admit Allan Bakke, a white man who argued he’d been a victim of reverse racial discrimination. On this date: In 1778, the Revolutionary War Battle of Monmouth took place in New Jersey; from this battle arose the legend of Molly Pitcher, a woman who was said to have carried water to colonial soldiers, then took over firing her husband’s cannon after he was disabled. In 1838, Britain’s Queen Victoria was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1881, Elizabeth Robinson of Christchurch was the first woman to register as a pharmacist under a registration system established by the Pharmacy Act 1880. In 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were shot to death in Sarajevo by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip — an act which sparked World War One. In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in France, ending the First World War. In Independence, Missouri, future president Harry S. Truman married Elizabeth Virginia Wallace. New Zealand’s Prime Minister Bill Massey’s was the 17th signature on the treaty. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Alien Registration Act, also known as the Smith Act, which required adult foreigners residing in the US to be registered and fingerprinted. In 1973, New Zealand Prime Minister Norman Kirk told the 242 crew of the Otago that their Mururoa mission was an “honourable” one − they were to be “silent witness[es] with the power to bring alive the conscience of the world”.

Warren – A sleepy story I

was reading a story on Monday about a lady who fell asleep on a plane and got locked on board. Here’s her story. An Air Canada passenger claims she was left terrified after waking up alone on a pitchblack, locked plane. Tiffani Adams said she fell asleep on the short 90-minute flight from Quebec to Toronto. But on waking, she found she had been left behind. Panicked, Adams called a friend, but her mobile phone battery died. Attempts to charge the phone failed as the power was out on the plane. After finding a torch in the cockpit, Adams says she managed to open a door, but then faced a “15m drop to the pavement below”. She eventually attracted the attention of a passing airport worker, who was “shocked” to see Adams. Apparently she is having trouble sleeping now and has been left quite traumatised by the whole thing. Can anyone else smell a pending lawsuit? The story reminded me of a bloke named Warren from Auckland, who I met in Scotland while on my OE a few years back. Warren could sleep anywhere, at the drop of a hat and very deeply. I experienced this five times on one excursion to Europe. The first of these was the

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Amsterdam to Paris leg. He was lights out in seconds and if it hadn’t been for me shaking him awake as we arrived in Paris, he would have ended up God knows where. I put it down to the confusion we had suffered earlier that day when ordering some cake in a café. He told me as we were dossing down at the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris en route to Munich and the beer festival, that he once slept on a full train in the netting baggage holder no worries at all. Once again he was lights out in seconds and once again I had to shake him awake. I didn’t get a lot of sleep that night as I was worried about us getting mugged, but thinking about it, a cemetery with a huge concrete wall surrounding it is probably the safest spot in the city. Needless to say I was very tired by the time we hit the early morning train from Paris to Munich. Luckily for me we found a sleeper cabin and could stretch out and crash out. Unbelievably Warren beat me to sleep, he was

snoring in seconds! I wasn’t far behind though. It felt like only minutes later I was woken by our cabin doors being slammed open and two guards entering, each with a weapon and a large dog. One had a german shepherd, the other had the biggest rotty I have ever seen. They demanded our passports and cameras, apparently camera cases are a good spot for stashing ingredients for the afore-mentioned cakes. I quickly passed mine over for inspection. Passport, they barked again (the guards not the dogs) at Warren, unbelievably he was still sleeping. They were in no mood for mucking around and one of them jabbed the sleeping Kiwi in the ribs with the butt of his weapon. Warren sat bolt upright, with eyes bulging, face-to-face and just a few centimetres away from the drooling rottweiler. I think he may have soiled himself a little, but it was hard to tell as we both hadn’t showered for a couple of days. As the guards departed, I remember thinking, a small part of me felt sorry for Warren and his sore ribs, but a bigger part of me thought he got what he deserved. My thought pattern was interrupted by Warren’s snoring, yep back to sleep in seconds, sore ribs and skid marks and all.

Experience number four was when I had to save Warren from getting kicked out of a beer hall at the beer festival. I hadn’t sighted Warren since returning from a food run until I saw him between security men, who were escorting him towards the door. “What did he do wrong?” I asked. “We found him sleeping under a table,” they replied. The fifth experience was at Dachau Concentration Camp the following day. It was a hot day and we decided to have a wee rest on the grass beside the side fence of the camp. You guessed it, Warren was asleep in seconds, I must confess I joined him for a bit. When we woke and continued our tour, we passed a sign nearby that said “Any prisoner who set foot on this grass was shot instantly, no questions asked”. That woke and sobered us up quickly. I think about Warren every now and then and I hope he’s doing okay. Most of all I hope he doesn’t take the train to work!

Fonterra’s ‘instant cheese’

IRD may be on the case

Dairy giant Fonterra has developed a range of products including instant cheese and high protein cracker-like snacks which it hopes will drive the company’s next stage of growth. The dairy co-operative yesterday showcased six products in the final stages of development in its Palmerston North research and development centre. ‘Cheese powder’ which by adding water turns into a cheese solid after 30 minutes, a glitter high-protein drink designed for those on the go and a medical recovery drink were showcased to a small group in Auckland. Fonterra has been at work on the protein for an instant cheese product for 15 years, though the country’s largest company was tight-lipped on its plans to commercialise the product. An ingredient in the cheese powder (which surprisingly tastes like regular cheese) has already been patented and Fonterra said the product would suit developing countries without access to refrigeration, and could

The science behind the ingredient for the cheese is a ‘milk powder concentrate’ whereby milk is put through a filter to concentrate the proteins. Fonterra research and development consumer brands general manager Andy Smith said the company was exploring opportunities to take the product to markets including in Asia and the Middle East.

There are potential tax implications from the ANZ’s sale of a luxury St Heliers Bay mansion to the wife of its former boss David Hisco and the Inland Revenue is likely to be looking closely at it, says a tax expert. ANZ won’t answer questions on whether it paid tax. The house on St Heliers Bay Rd was purchased by ANZ New Zealand-owned subsidiary company Arawata Assets in 2011 for $7.5 million and, despite a booming property market over the next six years, the property was on-sold to Hisco’s wife in 2017 for $6.9m. As of July 1, 2017 the property had a Rating Valuation of $10.75m. Terry Baucher, principle of specialist tax advisory service Baucher Consulting, said the fact the property appeared to have been sold below market value after renovation raised potential tax issues. “From an income perspective is it income for Hisco or is it going to be subject to fringe benefit tax? “At first sight someone somewhere has a tax issue potentially,” he said. “Inland Revenue will almost certainly be watching with interest.”

product was not yet available anywhere in the world. “For a lot of markets this actually isn’t just a gimmick,” Sheelagh Hewitt, Fonterra research scientist and food chemist, said. “There’s a huge proportion of China which doesn’t yet have stable refrigerator cool chains.” Fonterra said it had discussed instant cheese with contacts in “a number of markets”. “We’re now taking it to the next stage of what it will look like as a consumer proposition and [ex-

ploring] what are the key features and benefits it needs to bring to the table.” Fonterra manager of science nutrition Aaron Fanning said there was an emerging trend in how people were consuming food, with many in China and South East Asia moving away from three set meals towards smaller meals and snacks often, which why the company had begun to develop high-protein snacks. Fonterra has developed a 20g snack with 10 grams of protein on it – around 40 to 50 per cent of the product is protein, the equivalent to a glass of milk per serve. It hopes that a similar product on the market would become an alternative to a bag of potato chips or muesli bar. Another product was a concentrated protein medical drink designed for people who were recovering from surgery or not able to eat a meal due to age or a health related issue. It was designed to be full of protein and the nutritional benefits of a balanced meal.

ew Zealand shares traded higher this week with the benchmark NZX 50 reaching new highs. There was plenty of domestic corporate newsflow for investors to digest as a slew of companies within the top 50 closed at record highs. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) left the Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged at 1.5 per cent but signalled that further cuts could come later this year. Governor Adrian Orr said: "The weaker global economy is affecting New Zealand through a range of trade, financial, and confidence channels." Still, the RBNZ is upbeat on the economic outlook. "We expect low interest rates and increased government spending to support a lift in economic growth and employment. Inflation is expected to rise to the 2 per cent midpoint of its target range, and employment to remain near its maximum sustainable level," Orr said. In corporate news, Tourism Holdings announced an $80m equity issue designed to provide balance sheet headroom and flexibility, plus fund short-term opportunities through TH2. The company sees a stronger balance sheet as prudent given headwinds in some markets. The tourism operator also updated its FY19 guidance and management is now guiding for net profit after tax of $25m-$27m (previous guidance was $25m-$28m). At this stage Tourism Holdings has not provided any guidance for FY20.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

The a2 Milk Company CEO Jayne Hrdlicka this week played down concerns that new Chinese regulation would hurt its position within China's infant formula market. She said the company was listening to regulators and talking to key leaders in the market to ensure its position. ANZ New Zealand said they will work with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand on independent reviews of its capital models and attestation process, in the wake of David Hisco’s departure. Retirement village operator Arvida announced it has entered into agreements to purchase Bethlehem Country Club, Bethlehem Shores and Queenstown Country Club for approximately $180m. The acquisition and transaction costs are to be funded through a combination of new equity and debt. Fletcher Building announced that it will undertake a capital return to shareholders of up to $300m through an on-market share buyback. The buyback will commence following release of the company’s full year results. Fletcher Building warned of lower than expected full-year earnings in Australia due to a sharp de-

cline in the Australian residential market. The construction company confirmed FY19 guidance of operating earnings of $620m to $650m following its downgrade in early June. Sky TV CEO Martin Stewart reaffirmed the company’s focus on streaming services. The company has announced that in August it will be launching a new sports app, with new pricing, content and features. It was a mixed week in the US after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is assessing whether current economic uncertainties call for lower rates. Powell noted the Fed will take a wait-and-see approach given how rapid recent economic changes have been. The central bank also believes US inflation will return to 2 per cent, albeit at a slower pace than expected. Powell also said the Fed remains independent of “short-term political interests.” Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin lifted expectations of a potential trade deal between China and the US. Mnuchin said that there was "a path to complete" a trade deal between the US and China. He also said that a deal had previously been "about 90 per cent" done.

■■HARNESS RACING

In brief

Powerful new partnership By Jonny Turner Two outstanding harness racing families will combine when Nathan Purdon joins Cran Dalgety in a training partnership next season. Dalgety has handed Purdon the opportunity to add to his family’s incredible legacy and follow in the giant footsteps of his father, Mark, and grandfather, Roy, by producing feature race winners in New Zealand. With his blueblood harness racing pedigree and his outstanding experience around the world it was an easy offer to make, Dalgety said. “He is quite chuffed about it.” “He has been around Australia and worked in America and worked in Sweden and he is probably at the stage where he wants to take the knowledge he has and take it in to practice.” “Being a son of Mark Purdon, he was an easy sell to my clients.” Though he has not tasted big race success in New Zealand, Purdon brings a CV already stamped with a group 1 win to the partnership. He trained and drove Ohoka Punter to win the group 1 Blacks A Fake at Albion Park in 2016. That feat heads Purdon’s long list of harness racing experiences around the world. Those experiences and having some of his family’s outstanding horse talent will make him a huge asset to his stable, Dalgety said. “In terms of reading a horse, he can read them like a book, he is very talented in that area.” “He has got a fair bit of his Dad in him, so if we can make benefit of that it will be great for both of us.” The move to form a partnership does not signal a huge change in direction for Dalgety.

Shooting for the stars There will be an air of excitement at Ruakaka tomorrow when Drops of Jupiter makes his debut in the Racing Sunday August 11 (1600m). The three-year-old son of Echoes of Heaven is a half-brother to Kiwibred Hong Kong superstar Beauty Generation, currently the highest rated active racehorse in the world. A winner of seven Group Ones, including the Hong Kong International Mile and Champions Mile for the past two years, and on a nine-race winning streak, Beauty Generation is considered a formality to defend his crown as Hong Kong Horse of the Year next month. - NZME

Shamal a tough nut

Nathan Purdon brings plenty to the new harness racing partnership. It will largely be business as usual for the multiple group 1 winning trainer, next season. “It will be very similar, its just Nathan will have a percentage more of extra responsibility and I am sure he will lift from that,” he said. “Nathan will learn plenty from me, but I am also looking forward to learning from him.” It is hoped Interdominion heat winner Pat’s Delight will be the flagbearer for the new Dalgety-Purdon stable, next season. The talented 4-yr-old has slipped in to harness racing obscurity after spending much of the second half of this season in the spelling paddock following his Interdominion campaign. Pat’s Delight has this year’s In-

terdominions and the New Zealand Cup firmly on his agenda. The pacer is back in work and will be ready to race well ahead of his major race assignments, as he is about four weeks away from trialling. Dalgety said he plans to race Pat’s Delight in early lead up races to the New Zealand Cup before letting the horse freshen. “He had eight months out and he is a bit bulkier now and a bit stronger and I think he has gone to the next level.” “He will be our flag flier and I hope we can build a team around him.” Dalgety will have two runners at the Addington meeting tonight as his time as a solo trainer draws to a close.

Flyin Milly Mac looks an excellent winning chance in race 4 on the strength of her second placing behind I’mallaboutthebase in the recent Uncut Gems Mares Classic. “She did go very good, Jimmy Curtin drove her super last start,” Dalgety said. “With all respect to the rest, it is a drop back in class and I would like to think she is a top three shot.” Bunzinga went an excellent race for fifth at the Harness Jewels before disappointing in her last start. Dalgety is hopeful the 3yr-old can bounce back to form on Friday night. “In her general well-being, she is in good shape.”

Only Ken Duncan really knows just how tough Shamal is. And that’s not just the courage the Zabeel eight-year-old gelding showed during his recovery from a tendon injury that threatened his career as a four-year-old. Or the tenacity he displayed in grinding out a win over Gagarin when he claimed the Waikato Steeplechase at Te Rapa last month when not fully fit. “They don’t get any tougher,” the Hunterville trainer said when describing the favourite for tomorrow’s AHD Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase. “He’ll bite you and kick you as quick as look at you. You’ve got to keep on going down to buy a new Kathmandu jacket because he keeps ripping it off you.” - NZME

Sacred Elixir back Group One winner Sacred Elixir returned to New Zealand from his former Hong Kong base on Wednesday and a scan has revealed positive signs that the injured son of Pour Moi will make a raceday return in his homeland. Formerly trained by Cambridge conditioner Tony Pike, Sacred Elixir won three Group races for owners Raffle Racing, including the Gr.1 JJ Atkins Stakes (1600m), and finished runner-up to Prized Icon in the Gr.1 Victoria Derby (2500m) before joining Tony Cruz’s Hong Kong barn in 2017. - NZME

■■RECORD-BREAKER

Hannam aiming for $1m prize-money barrier NZME Central Districts jockey Robert Hannam hasn’t let a delay to his New Zealand racing season hinder him from setting a record tally of stakes wins this term. The hoop spent the early part of this season in India, where he was finishing off a four-month contract, which was halted in 2017 after he broke an ankle in a starting gate incident. He returned to New Zealand in October and wasted no time in getting on the board, recording five stakes wins to date this season, an all-time best for Hannam, and nearly $1 million in prizemoney. Hannam is pleased to be back in New Zealand. “I was very happy with the time that I spent there, but it was time to come home and concentrate on back here.”

It was Hannam’s third stint in India. He said the introduction of taxes made his riding career there less viable. “Just before the second time I went there GST got introduced in India and that dropped the stake money by 40 per cent,” he said. “As a foreigner, I could only ride in half the card. “It just wasn’t viable to stay over there away from my family and ride for probably the same amount of money as what I could get in New Zealand.” I know there is probably a lack of jockeys around but people had open arms and I was more than happy to oblige. Hannam was overwhelmed with the support he received from trainers across the country on his return and he was quick to repay the favour for many of his backers. “I know there is probably a lack of jockeys around but people had

open arms, ready to put me on and I was more than happy to oblige,” he said. He travelled the country in subsequent months and recorded a quintet of stakes victories. Two of those came on his home track of Awapuni aboard Rock On in the group three Manawatu Cup (2200m) and Hinerangi in the Listed Rangitikei Gold Cup (1600m). Hannam also spent plenty of time in the South Island and was rewarded with victories aboard Residential in the group three South Island Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton and Emily Margaret in the Listed NZB Insurance stakes (1400m) at Wingatui. Hannam’s other stakes victory of the season was again on Emily Margaret in the group two Wellington Guineas, and he said it had an uncanny similarity to his triumph in the race a decade ago.

Robert Hannam “Winning the Wellington Guineas again is a pretty big thing. I won it for Adrian Bull 11 years ago on a grey filly called Skirmish. “To win it twice, and for them both to be grey fillies, that was pretty special.”

While he is rapt to have won five stakes races this season, another highlight for Hannam was finishing runner-up in the group one Captain Cook Stakes at Trentham in December aboard veteran galloper Authentic Paddy. “That was fantastic with the old fella,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it, he tries so hard and he is a gem of a horse. He has got a heart the size of Texas.” Hannam said he is still enjoying riding and is hoping he can break through the $1 million barrier in prizemoney by season’s end. “I do love riding, but I was a little bit suspect this morning when it was zero degrees,” he quipped. “I am very passionate about riding and I love travelling. I will go anywhere to try and get a winner or get enough rides. I just enjoy it. “Hopefully there is still a good chance I can break $1 million in stakes money this season.”

All set to take on the Aussies By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

An Ashburton girl now attending university in Dunedin is getting ready to represent her country at rowing for the first time. Grace Wilson, 20, is a part of the 2019 New Zealand University Trans Tasman team’s women’s eight to compete against Australian universities at Cambridge’s Lake Karapiro next week, and has spent this week in camp getting to know her fellow crew members. Wilson, a second year student at Otago University, is just one of two girls from the university lining up as part of the women’s eight at the trans-Tasman event, with the other being Katie Bell. It’s set to be the biggest challenge of her rowing career to date, and Wilson can’t wait. “It’s the first New Zealand team I have made, so it’s pretty up there, I guess,” she said. Wilson started rowing at the end of Year 9 at Ashburton College. Her older sisters rowed, as did her friend Veronica Wall, so Wilson thought she’d give it a go, and she hasn’t looked back since. Between them, Wilson and Wall ended up being forces to be reckoned with on the water. Wilson said her career highlight is still the 2017 national secondary schools’ Maadi Cup regatta, where they won gold in the under-18 double and quad. It was a huge achievement for both the young rowers, the school, and the Ashburton Rowing Club, with Ashburton being a relative newcomer on the rowing scene compared to some. “When I started we got like 11th at Maadi and we thought we were awesome,” Wilson said. With rowing having been a huge part of Wilson’s teenage years, there was no question as to whether she’d continue when she headed to Dunedin for tertiary study.

A talented young netballer as well, Wilson eventually gave that sport away but continued to row, swapping Lake Hood for the at times more challenging waters of the harbour in Dunedin, and getting her first taste of the eight boat. Growing up in Ashburton, there was an eight boat, but they didn’t have enough people to crew it, and while the bigger boat has

taken a bit of getting used to, it’s a boat Wilson is now more than comfortable in. At the New Zealand Universities Championships earlier this year she was part of the winning crews in the varsity eight and quad, and followed that up with a successful trial for the national team, which meant there’s been no time to rest. Rowing may typically be a sum-

mer sport, but the trans-Tasman event is being held in the middle of a New Zealand winter, meaning there’s been no let-up for Wilson and her crew-mates. She’s been hitting the water three times a week – weather permitting – and even managed to get out on Lake Hood at the weekend, while she was home for a few days before heading to Cambridge.

Cooper leaving Chiefs NZME Chiefs head coach Colin Cooper will step down from the Super Rugby club this year with his next priority to spend time with his family. Cooper, who has coached the Chiefs for the past two seasons, opted not to see out the last of a three-year term and sought an early release from the club. Chiefs boss Michael Collins said he and Cooper had been in discussions for several weeks, which meant the Chiefs could begin their recruitment process discreetly without interrupting the 2019 campaign. “We are grateful to Coops for his outstanding leadership and coaching at the Chiefs. “He is a proud man who set an incredibly high bar in terms of personal

standards and behaviour, both on and off the field. “We are really proud of the culture he has fostered inside our club and team environment, and he can be proud of what he has achieved with the Chiefs.” New Zealand Rugby Chief Executive Steve Tew acknowledged Cooper’s commitment and contribution to the Chiefs and NZ Rugby. “Coops is a remarkable individual with great presence and mana. “We know Coops to have a special talent in communicating with young men and working to bring the best out of those in his charge, and to help grow outstanding individuals on and off the field. “We appreciate that he will have some decisions to make and while he will have choices in front of him, we

hope his special abilities won’t be lost to New Zealand rugby. “Next year is a post-World Cup year when there will be a lot of player movement within Investec Super Rugby and clubs are beginning the next four-year cycle. “Taking that into consideration, both Colin and the club have spoken at length over several weeks and agree that the time is right for a new coach to take the Chiefs into 2020 and beyond. “Being an ultimate professional and team man, Colin’s early decision was not made lightly by either him or the club, but it has allowed us some space to recruit and plan for a smooth and successful transition.” Cooper said he was proud to have been part of the Chiefs and leading a “great group of young men”.

The rest of her training has been done indoors, with countless hours spent on ergs, and Wilson hopes all of that hard work will pay off in the coming days. Wilson and her New Zealand Universities team-mates have spent this week training up in Cambridge, before the Australians arrive ready to race in what is likely to be cooler conditions that they’re used to, next week.

Big wins on court Two Ashburton College junior boys basketball teams made a successful trip down to Timaru for the Aoraki junior boys’ basketball tournament on Wednesday. Playing two mixed teams of their A side and B side, both tackled the top grade, with the college A side taking home the trophy. With a number of games taking place across three courts the games are condensed into a shortened 30 minute time slot with 30 minutes between each game. AshColl A, coached by Mark Douglas, had round robin wins against Roncalli College, St Kevin’s College, Waitaki Boys’ High School and AshColl B, but lost to Timaru Boys’ High School by three points. The top-two sides met in the final, with AshColl A finding themselves looking to turn the tables on Timaru Boys’. Thanks to some strong second-half defence and smart offence, the AshColl side were able to take the win by 12 points. The AshColl B team, coached on the day by Fotu Hala, secured two wins and saved their best game to last with a big win over St Kevin’s to finish fifth.

Who can drive their team around the paddock best? AP History has proven first-fives are keys to success in Super Rugby and this weekend’s semi-finals will emphasise the point, as the four best in the tournament attempt to shape the fate of their teams. There is no surprise that the best No. 10s in this season’s tournament have propelled their teams into the final and those players will now have a major part in deciding which teams advance to the championship match. The Crusaders and Wellington-based Hurricanes who meet in Christchurch are driven by the current All Blacks pivots Richie Mo’unga and Beauden Barrett. Their contest behind forward packs of differing quality will be one of the highlights of the semi-finals. In Buenos Aires, the outcome of the contest between Argentina’s Jaguares – playing in a semi-final for the first time – and the ACT Brumbies – seeking their first title in 15 years – will depend on the performances of first-fives of vastly differing experience. To some degree the Jaguares owe their best-ever Super Rugby season, their first placing in the South African conference and their 12-5 record so far, to the steadying influence and goalkicking of 30-yearold flyhalf Joacquin Diaz Bonilla.

Despite his age, Diaz Bonilla had played only 10 Super Rugby matches and one test at the start of the current season after recently succeeding Nicolas Sanchez in the No. 10 jersey. In contrast, Christian Leali’ifano, who is in his 12th and final Super Rugby season with the Brumbies, will play his 150th Super Rugby match and is a seasoned international. He will leave the Brumbies to play in Japan when the current season ends and will be driven by the knowledge that each he plays now may be his last. Leali’ifano’s career has been tempered by adversity. He was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2016 but won his battle with the illness to resume his professional career. Every milestone since has been a bonus. Leali’ifano, now the Brumbies captain, said he had been humbled by the support he had received as he prepares to become only the second Brumbie after prop Ben Alexander to play 150 matches. “The amount of support I’ve had and messages has been really, really special,” he said. “It makes me feel like I’ve had an impact here and I’m really humbled by that.” The best individual match-up of the semis undoubtedly is the one between Mo’unga and Barrett.

Barrett is currently the All Blacks’ firstchoice but Mo’unga has the chance again on Saturday to highlight his own strong form as the World Cup approaches. Mo’unga was instrumental in the Crusaders’ quarter-final victory over the Highlanders last week, dotting down for two tries among his 20 points. But he has the advantage of playing behind the best forward pack in the competition. Barrett has had to cope with the often scrappy ball that comes from a weak Hurricanes’ pack. While he remains composed under pressure he is inclined when pressed by defences to make poor tactical choices, over-using kicking options. The Crusaders realise that curbing Barrett’s attacking influence by keeping him under pressure will be crucial tomorrow. Former Ireland flyhalf Ronan O’Gara, who coaches the Crusaders’ backs, says that will be part of a larger game plan. “If you win collisions, if you win the gain line, no matter how good you are as a 10, your time is diminished significantly,” O’Gara said. “Our boys have done a great job in that regard in previous campaigns. “But when the ball is in Beauden Barrett’s hands, it’s not a good sign for any op-

■■CRICKET

Pakistan stuns Black Caps AP Pakistan enhanced its reputation as the most unpredictable team in international cricket with a six-wicket victory that kept its World Cup semi-final hopes alive, ruined New Zealand’s perfect record, heaped more pressure on host England and had fans reliving memories of 1992. Babar Azam hit his 10th ODI century, finishing 101 not out off 127 balls, as Pakistan reached 2414 with five balls to spare in reply to New Zealand’s 237-6. It was the Black Caps’ first loss in the tournament following five wins and a washed-out game against India. For some optimistic Pakistan fans this campaign is looking very familiar. Imran Khan’s team in 1992 also had only two wins in its first six matches – with an identical record to the 2019 Pakistan team – and went on to win the title. For now, every boundary – 11 of them from Babar – produced a huge roar and a sea of green flags in the stands as an overwhelmingly Pakistan-supporting crowd had a day to remember at Edgbaston. So did Babar. “It’s difficult to bat on this pitch,” Babar said. “It’s spinning a lot.” Babar shared a fourth-wicket partnership of 126 with Haris Sohail, who was run out by Martin Guptill for 68 in the penultimate over after hitting five fours and two sixes. Babar also put on 66 for the third wicket with Mohammad Hafeez (32) Pakistan moved level with Bangladesh on seven points, one point behind fourth-place England, which has lost its last two games. The top four in the 10-team league stage advance to the semi-finals. New Zealand is still in a strong position with 11 points but wasted a chance to retake the lead and secure its place in the last four. It now has difficult games left against defending champion Australia and England. Pakistan, which is not seen as a run-chasing specialist in this format, also went to the last over on Wednesday but on this occasion it was much more comfortable.

Black Caps Ross Taylor and keeper Tom Latham can only watch as Pakistan’s batsman Babar Azam smashes another one over the boundary in their Cricket World Cup match at Edgbaston in Birmingham yesterday. PHOTO AP Pakistan started its chase quickly on an overcast day with floodlights on. Trent Boult (1-48) won the battle of the lefthanders when opener Fakhar Zaman (9) was caught by Guptill after an edge went high into the air with the total on 19. Guptill then did even better with a diving catch forward to dismiss Imam-ul-Haq (19), who was unable to control a hostile, rising delivery from Lockie Ferguson (150), making it 44-2. Pakistan began to accelerate

the run chase and the 24-year-old Babar reached a landmark – becoming the second fastest man after South Africa’s Hashim Amla to compile 3000 ODI runs, in his 68th innings. Babar and Haris hit nine off one Colin Munro over and 10 off the next from Kane Williamson. The pair reduced the target to 23 from five overs, 13 in three overs, and 4 in 12 balls before Haris was run out. It was left to skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed to hit the winning boundary.

Earlier, Jimmy Neesham and Colin de Grandhomme combined to revive New Zealand’s innings with a 132-run partnership for the sixth wicket after captain Williamson had elected to bat first. Left-arm seamer Shaheen Afridi (3-28) had helped reduce the Black Caps to 46-4 and 83-5, when dangerman Williamson was out for 41. Neesham struck an ODI-best 97 not out from 112 balls. He hit five fours and three sixes, including smashing the last ball of

the innings over the ropes. De Grandhomme (64) was run out, being found out against Mohammad Amir’s throw. “I think you’d be pretty naive to expect to go through the whole tournament unbeaten,” Neesham said. “We prepared for a tournament where we’d probably lose one or two games, but for us it’s all about making it to the semi-finals, (when) you’re only two good games away from lifting the trophy.”

Where to from here for the New Zealand brains trust? By Andrew Alderson New Zealand have a series of pivotal selection decisions to make as they contemplate the next phase of their cricket World Cup campaign. Coach Gary Stead has been at pains to point out anyone in the team can perform, if required. That has yet to be tested with a winning combination masking over potential flaws until their six-wicket loss to Pakistan. Captain Kane Williamson is building his team around consist-

ency and loyalty. Evidence is king and he will be loath to drop anyone on a whim. However, another failure by the openers and the decision to opt against selecting leg spinner Ish Sodhi on a turning Edgbaston pitch means they will want to pay closer attention to their mantra of adapting to conditions. Asking a player to enter the tournament against Australia and England and a possible play-off would be a significant move. Specifically the issue amounts to three questions. Do they:

1. Persevere with the opening combination of Martin Guptill and Colin Munro, or introduce Henry Nicholls? Nicholls was settling into the opening role, but a hamstring injury earned Munro a reprieve. He pounced with 58 not out against Sri Lanka but has struggled since. Similarly, Guptill has battled after an unbeaten 73 to start. Any deficiencies against the swinging or seaming ball have been plastered over by The Cricketing Defibrillator (aka Williamson) and his ability to resuscitate

any innings which risks flatlining. After the first game, he has not entered any later than the sixth over and has twice trotted out to face the second ball of the innings. 2. Stick with Tom Latham at No.5 as a batsman-keeper, or debut Tom Blundell at the business end? Latham had a reasonable summer in the dual role, averaging 38.4 at a strike rate of 93. His keeping has been solid with 12 dismissals but he’s struggled to play his strokes. Exacerbating that is the form of

Tom Blundell. The way he’s performed hint he could deal with finals scrutiny. 3. Continue with Matt Henry’s pace and seam movement, or showcase Tim Southee’s swing and guile? Henry’s future depends on how scarred he is after the “Brathwaite incident”. The Windies all-rounder tore 25 off the 48th over in the five-run win at Manchester. Southee’s recovered from his calf strain and has the handy record of taking 25 wickets at 28.16 from 16 matches in England.

TRADES, SERVICES

St Bede’s too tough The Ashburton College A basketball side had a tough day in the office when they welcomed St Bede’s College to the Oxford Street Stadium on Tuesday night, going down 86-58 to the visitors. College started with a man to man defence which had moments of effectiveness, however a lack of communication allowed St Bede’s to score some easy baskets underneath, allowing them to take a 25-18 lead into the second quarter. College stuck with their man to man defending and began to step up their intensity. They began creating turnovers, got on a roll and were able to close the gap. That was until St Bede’s put on a zone press which put the pressure back on College, and turnovers proved costly as St Bede’s went to the break 44-35 up. College up until this point had not played particularly well but were still in the fight.

The third quarter saw a change to a zone defence and again the intensity caused all sorts of problems for St Bede’s as they turned the ball over and College increased their pace and intensity. College were able to convert on the break and halfway through the quarter they led 50-46. St Bede’s called a time out, and from that they were able to come back stronger, while College were unable to replicate what they had done before the timeout. St Bede’s took back the lead and were ahead 57-51 at the end of the third quarter. The final stanza was all St Bede’s as College went cold, turnovers crept in and the fire went out. Defensively they were unable to counter the strong St Bede’s offence and what had been a fairly tight encounter suddenly blew out to a convincing 86-58 win.

By Dylan Cleaver When Joseph Parker turned up in Vegas for his customary prefight camp, Kevin Barry was blown away by the sight that greeted him. The veteran trainer has seen most things in his long career but this was a new one. “Joseph came back to camp at his fighting weight, which I was shocked by,” said Barry. Parker, who is preparing to fight Samoan Australian Alex Leapai in Rhode Island on Sunday has always been a diligent trainer during camp, but often he came back out of shape after over-indulging in the days and weeks following fights. However, the “boy is growing into his man’s body” and with it has come a new attitude. Parker admitted to Barry that he didn’t know what he was thinking by letting himself go physically. “I told him that is what I had been telling him for the past six years,” Barry said. The most common observation from observers in the Parker entourage this week was how trim the fighter looked compared to recent fights. At one point during camp Parker was as light as 106kg, but his trainer expects him to be closer to 110kg by weigh-in. “He’s bigger in his arms and across his back, but he’s a lot trimmer around his gut “He’s watched what he ate for the very first time.”

Truth be told, Parker is unlikely to need his full range of skills to cast aside the 39-yearold Leapai, who one boxing website described unkindly as having not beaten anybody with a pulse recently. Barry expects the Australian to try to use his physicality to disrupt Parker, but said he’d be disappointed if his fighter found himself on the end of one of Leapai’s overhand rights – his knockout punch. “His best days are behind him,” he said dismissively. Parker’s on the other hand, Barry was quick to point out, lie ahead.

Friday, June 28, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): This is a good day for making contingency plans. Having a backup plan makes you less likely to need one. Relatedly, don’t get so used to someone’s help that you’d be lost without it. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Parasailing, roller coasters, surfing – these can thrill but you’ll be attracted to feats that require a sort of courage more native to your heart. The risks are emotional and there’s a different kind of payoff. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): This is the best day for collaboration. The more minds on your problem, the better the solution. Brainstorm sessions will be wild and free. When they think small, you’ll think big and vice versa. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Though you are more than willing to sacrifice for the good of others, should you always have to? Your inherent goodness is often enough in and of itself – no extra work required. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You don’t owe anyone anything. You don’t have to engage if you don’t want to. You’re not obligated. This will not always be the case, so savour and take advantage of your current autonomous position. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Immaturity is marked by an assumption that “everyone is like me”. Maturity recognises that people have various needs. The mature can love, do business, affect the world in a way the immature cannot. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re extraordinarily useful to others now, so why not bank on it? Someone needs your skill set. When you find out who could use you and then make it easy for them to do so, the money rolls in. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): In the same way that fish don’t notice water, you’re so familiar with your own environment that you don’t see it for what it is. Get out of it for a while though and you’ll really appreciate all you’ve built. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Those who suffer as a consequence of their own actions deserve help and compassion, but they should be led to see the correlation. Distinguish between bad luck and the penalty of folly. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You love a challenge, but not just any challenge. A good fit is important. You’re happiest when you focus on the challenges that are right for you and not merely impressive to others. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Graciousness is your default mode. No one is born into this level of benevolence and generosity. You’ve had to work at this, as anyone does. The work gets easier, but it never ceases to be necessary. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The best thing about power is that it puts one in a position to do more good in the world. You’re headed in that direction today and the stellar way you handle it.

Husband and wife claim title Wakanui indoor bowlers, and husband and wife duo, Kevin and Gaylene Smith claimed the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Championship Pairs title on Sunday, heading out a strong field of competitors. The Smith pair claimed victory by beating another husband and wife pairing, Ken and Rowena Mackenzie, in a well-contested final. 18 teams took to the mats

for the tournament on Sunday morning and after four rounds of qualifying games, seven did enough to make their way through to the post-section stage of the competition. Mat Bassett and Chris Talbot claimed the sole bye to earn a path into the semi-finals and they were joined by Martin and Jenny Nordqvist, alongside the Smith and Mackenzie combinations.

The victory gave Kevin his 11th Ashburton championship title and Gaylene her fourth, leaving her needing just one more title for a gold star. Meanwhile, selectors have named this yearâ€™s Paterson Trophy squad to head to Collingwood at the top of the South Island next month to attempt to win the zone play off. After winning last year and producing a solid effort to finish

third at the Welch Trophy final, the side will be out to earn the chance to head to the premier representative fixture of the season once again. This squad is spearheaded by New Zealand representative Michael Lawson alongside Grant Wilson, Mat Bassett, Ken Mackenzie, Matt Markham, Graeme Chapman, Russell Ellis, Maurice Sunbeam, Murray Bassett and Chris Talbot.

This weekend itâ€™s back on the mats at the McNally Street Stadium for singles action. The Jim Patterson Championship Singles tournament begins tonight with one round of qualifying play before a second tomorrow morning, with post-section play getting under way on Saturday afternoon, while the Ken Hampton Masters Singles, a new tournament, will be held on Sunday.

Powerful new partnership on the racetrack
