10-year wait for second bridge

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

Hopes that Ashburton’s State Highway 1 traffic congestion might be soon be resolved were dealt a death blow yesterday.

A second bridge across the Ashburton River and traffic lights at Walnut Avenue’s intersections with East Street and State Highway 1 have been pushed down the New Zealand Transport Agency’s to-do list, councillors were told at an Ashburton District Council work-

shop. When councillor Russell Ellis wanted to know when the bridge would be built so the council could put costs into its budget, he got an answer he didn’t expect.

Regional transport manager Michael Blyleven delivered a double whammy, saying the second bridge would not be built for around 10 years and that until the council coughed up half the costs, the Walnut Avenue lights would also stay on the backburner.

Currently NZTA would pay 51 per

cent of the cost of the bridge.

It would only pay for the West Street lights, but not the East Street lights on Walnut Avenue, even though it insists one set of lights cannot be installed without the other.

That did not sit well with councillor Neil Brown.

Irrigation schemes merge

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Mayfield Hinds and Valetta irrigation schemes have merged and the farmers in charge say it is positive news for the environment and the way water is managed in the Ashburton District.

Farmers in both schemes, which use water delivered by the Rangitata Diversion Race, voted 87 per cent in favour of the merger this week.

The merged business, which began trading yesterday, will be known as MHV Water Ltd and will supply water to around 47,000 hectares of farmland in the Hinds catchment.

Mayfield Hinds was already one of the largest privately-owned irrigation schemes in New Zealand when it was supplying water to 33,000ha.

Farmer shareholders in both schemes have been considering merger information since December and at least 75 per cent support was needed from each camp to go ahead. The new company will be headed by CEO Melanie Brooks, specially appointed for the job.

Former Mayfield Hinds chairman John Nicholls is the new chairman of MHV Water and former Valetta chairman Mark Dewhirst is deputy.

Nicholls said it was a fantastic result and reflected shareholder support indicated earlier.

He said it was a fascinating time to be involved in the irrigation sector with changes to irrigation practices and improved irrigation efficiencies. With over 50 wells monitored for nitrogen and well depth in the new catchment area, farmers were increasing their knowledge all the time and using results to focus on further reducing nitrate loss.

Friday, June 2, 2017

A recent audit had already shown a 16 per cent reduction in nitrogen discharge from shareholders’ properties in the past season.

Nicholls said the managed aquifer recharge trial in MHV Water’s patch was also showing positive results.

“Water has now moved over 2.2km below the trial site, well levels have lifted by 18 metres and nitrate levels have decreased by 60 per cent.”

Work had begun to determine how to apply this on a catchmentwide basis, he said.

Farmers appreciated that the Ashburton District Council had continued to supply water for the trial for another season to benefit the wider community.

“While we do not yet have all the answers, we believe we have turned a corner and are beginning to make positive progress.”

Both irrigation schemes have been delivering water from the Rangitata River via the Rangitata Diversion Race for about 60 years.

The water is consented and subject to restrictions when river flows are low.

Nicholls said storage remained a priority for irrigators going forward, despite three massive ponds built at Carew in 2015. The Mayfield Hinds network is open channels, though a $13 million new extension at Ruapuna is being piped.

Valetta converted its open channels to pipes in a $31m project in 2014.

Farms in the area have undergone huge changes since the 1940s when the RDR was created and about half is now in dairy with the remainder in dairy support, mixed livestock and cropping.

Toko located at Chch airport

By MiCheLLe neLson

MicheLLe.n@theguardian.co.nz

A young man reported missing from a Tinwald motel on Monday is safe and well.

Toko Peter James Parata went missing from the Adcroft Motel at 9pm on May 29, sparking a nationwide hunt.

Police reported he was located Wednesday evening, using information received from a member of the public.

Ashburton police acting senior sergeant Ash Tabb confirmed Parata was found at Christchurch airport at about 7pm.

The 19-year-old had left his

smashed cellphone and his belongings at the motel, raising concerns for his welfare.

Police issued a statement asking for information on Parata’s whereabouts the following day, however social media channels were already at work.

Parata’s sisters asked Facebook users to look out for their brother on Tuesday afternoon, and the message was shared thousands of times, quickly covering the length and breadth of the country and eliciting messages of support from family, friends and complete strangers.

Reports came through from people who believed they had

seen Parata at various locations heading north on State Highway 1 between Ashburton and Rakaia on Tuesday.

There was an outpouring of relief when word got out that he had been found.

Parata thanked all involved for the support he had received on his Facebook page.

According to one of his sisters, Parata had arrived in Ashburton from Waikato two or three weeks ago for work, and had been staying at the Adcroft Motel.

His family and police thank everyone who assisted in the search.

Work with youth recognised

By JaiMe Pitt-MaCkay JaiMe.p@theguardian.co.nz

After 13 years of service to the youth of the Ashburton District, Jan Gilmoure has been nationally recognised for her contributions to the community.

Gilmoure, who operates as a youth education tutor at the YMCA Ashburton education and training centre, was awarded with the Leading by Example award at the national YMCA conference last weekend.

She joined the Ashburton branch of YMCA South and Mid Canterbury in 2004, and has worked with more than 150 16 to 18-year-olds since that point.

“I wasn’t able to be there on the night to collect the award, so it was presented to me here on Monday by our general manager,” she said.

Gilmoure said she enjoyed the challenges of the job, as well as the way it has changed over the years.

When she first started the job, she said the main focus was directing people towards training at a polytechnic, or into employment.

“Over time it has become a fully academic course,” she said. “I have had to up-skill

YMCA youth education tutor Jan Gilmoure with her Leading by Example award.

PHOTO SUPPLIED qualifications-wise with all the challenges and changes that have been made.”

Gilmoure said the best part of the job was the young people themselves.

“It is the kids, the youth themselves, I am very passionate about working with young people and just seeing them achieve,” she said.

Other awards YMCA South and Mid Canterbury won were

the Innovation in a New Programme Award (Resiliency Toolkit), the George Briggs Youth Award (District Youth Surveys) and the Y That Catches the Eye Award.

In addition, one of the longest-serving board members, Mark Rogers, received the YMCA New Zealand President’s Award in recognition of his 20 plus years’ service at the local and national levels.

Hundreds queue at new supermarket

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

While most people were still eating breakfast, the lights were on and Ashburton’s Countdown South was packed with staff, invited guests and a long queue of customers waiting to be first through the new store’s doors.

As more than 300 people queued outside the store hoping to nab an early shopper voucher, staff put the final finishing touches to in-store displays before the speeches started and a red ribbon was cut to signal the store was ready for business.

Countdown managing director Dave Chambers was on hand to applaud staff for the hard work they’d put in preparing the store for opening day.

“The store looks fantastic; the amount of effort that’s gone into this is phenomenal,” he said.

Progressive Enterprises had started looking for a site in Ashburton for a new store in 2012 and started planning in 2013.

“Now we’re opening a store that cost $22 million and has a new team of 68. When I was talking to staff last night they said they were going to have the best customer service in Ashburton and Canterbury.”

Chambers was quick to scotch rumours that the original Countdown store might close.

With Countdown South open, money would now be spent in upgrading the original store, he said.

“You don’t spend money on something you’re going to close.

We have a lot of confidence in Ashburton as a community.”

The store has employed a large

Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel speaking at the opening of the newest supermarket in town, Ashburton’s Countdown South.

number of newcomers to the Countdown team, but there were several who had opted to transfer from stores around the South Island.

Chambers most difficult task before the store opened had been deciding which department deserved the ‘department of the day’ award; he opted to make a dual award to seafood and meat.

“When you’re opening a new store, there’s always something that goes wrong at the last minute.

Today it was the seafood department’s icemaker and staff had to go down to the service station to buy ice.”

The store is the185th Countdown in New Zealand and the 16th open with an in-store pharmacy.

Ashburton had been watching

its development for many months, mayor Donna Favel said as she cut the official red ribbon.

“Ashburton has been watching with anticipation as the store has come to life; it’s a wonderful addition to our town,” she said.

Tinwald School children were part of the official opening performing a special kappa haka and store manager Kyle Webber con-

firmed the store’s continued ties to the Salvation Army by presenting Major Ken Smith with a $1000 food donation for the community food bank.

Ashburton South is part of Countdown’s Food Rescue programme, which helps donate more than $3.5 million worth of food to foodbanks around New Zealand each year.

Ten-year wait for second bridge, says NZTA From P1 “If we did nothing and said we won’t spend any money on the bridge, you’d eventually have to do something – it’s your bridge,” he said.

He took the same approach to funding the Walnut Avenue traffic lights, particularly after the agen-

cy highlighted the project would have pedestrian safety gains.

“This is also your project. We’re already spending unsubsidised ratepayers’ money on roading and you want this money to be put into your project.

“It’s all yours, it’s your project,” he said.

The NZTA team wasn’t buying

his argument.

“We understand your pain but we’re in a position where there are things we can fund and things we cannot fund,” Blyleven said.

When the second bridge’s time came, the subsidy might be a bit higher, southern regional manager Michael Aitken said.

“We’ll enter into discussions on

where the benefits fall. The second bridge will take away the necessity for us to do things to the current bridge, so no doubt it will be a bit more than 51 per cent but it won’t be 100 per cent.”

NZTA might say that traffic volumes were pumped up by local traffic, but that didn’t hold any water with Stuart Wilson.

“It’s a national highway, why would you expect our ratepayers to fund a state highway when in other areas it’s funded by NZTA or the Government.”

It was grossly unfair that road user charges were taken out of the Ashburton District and used to subsidise urban transport, he said.

New tool to help our youth

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The youth of the Ashburton District will now have an even better opportunity to become more resilient, thanks to a new project from YMCA South and Mid Canterbury.

On Friday night, the organisation officially announced its Resiliency Toolkit.

The programme, which has been operating in the Timaru District for a year, offers five different sections, to create “Resilient Youth, who are young people who can bounce back from whatever life throws at them”.

Marketing, communications and fundraising manager, Michèle Keggenhoff, said they constructed it based on results from youth surveys conducted in the Timaru District.

“We took the info and looked at resources available and built the toolkit in response,” she said.

“There are five main areas, stress management, cyber safety, healthy relationships, making good decisions around alcohol and drugs and peer mentoring.”

The programme is designed to be a preventative approach to helping youth, offering an option “at the top of the cliff”.

“If a young person is stressed out, they may start taking drugs or alcohol or engage in anti-social behaviour as a coping mech-

Poppy Cooper-Vear (left) and Keith Shaw (right) announced to the crowd attending the YMCA’s function last Friday night that its resiliency toolkit will be hitting Mid Canterbury secondary schools.

“We want to redirect that for a

more healthy way of coping.”

Information gathered as the course progresses, will be used to further enhance the programme,

Keggenhoff said.

Ideas will be continually developed and reinforced with the children from 14 years old

through to 18.

The toolkit will launched in to both Ashburton College and Mount Hutt College.

■ MID CANTERBURY RURAL SCHOOLS

Gypsy Day not proving a major disruption this year

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Wednesday marked the first part of Gypsy Day for 2017, but unlike the past, rural school principals are finding the tradition is having minimal impact on their school rolls.

Wakanui School principal Hillary Boyce said this year moving day has had a negligible effect.

“It is not the big mover and shaker that traditionally it would have been,” she said.

“We now see people come and go throughout the year.”

Boyce said most of the students are now starting at the normal school’s joining age, which presents much less of an inconvenience.

At Mayfield School, principal Richard Kidd said he was only

aware of one family that would be leaving. “It is obviously detrimental if there are students coming in and it is something we have to consider as a school,” he said.

“There will often be extra testing with the students to determine their academic level and they will require extra work with teachers.”

While it had been quite quiet with movement ahead of moving

day, Kidd said it can sometimes happen where families will just leave, or arrive at the gate on the day to join.

Sean Wansbrough, principal of Mt Somers Springburn School, said he believes it is down to how the school welcomes incoming students to minimise the disruption in their education from moving day.

“We have two out and two in

this year and I have spoken to their previous teachers to gather as much information about their learning as possible,” he said.

Last year, Dairy NZ introduced a fund to help schools provide more resources to their students from dairying families.

“The fund is a great idea and allows the teachers to really get to know the kids better,” Wansbrough said.

Schools come together for cluster cross-country

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

On Tuesday, Chertsey School saw its grounds filled by more than 250 extra students from Fairton, Tinwald and Netherby schools.

The students had made the trip to the school for the annual cluster cross-country.

Chertsey School principal Sarah Coard said the school always hosted Netherby and Fairton, but this is the first time Tinwald had joined, after a change in the school sports clusters.

“Without the home and school committee we wouldn’t be able to have such a good event and they have put on 400-plus lunches today which is fantastic,” she said.

Tinwald School principal Peter Livingstone said all the feedback he had received had been really positive.

“It was really nice to have the schools together,” he said.

“A lot of the students have a connection to each other already outside of school so it was nice for them to be able to see people that they know.”

Deep aquifer transfers concern farmer

By Linda cLarKe

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury farmer wants Environment Canterbury to think again about allowing the transfer of some shallow bore water abstraction consents to deep underground aquifers.

Alistair Morrison, who farms on Maronan Valetta Road, said he was concerned about the overallocation of the deep well aquifers by allowing the transfer from shallow stream-depleting aquifers beside the Hinds River.

In a letter to the Ashburton Water Zone Committee on Tuesday he said he had noticed a sharp decline in the deep well aquifers on his farm during the last irrigation season.

He asked the committee to recommend to ECan that it review the transfers.

“From what I can see, all that has happened by allowing this transfer from shallow unreliable

stream-depleting consents to deep aquifers is that the problem has been transferred to the deep aquifers.”

Zone manager Olivia Smith said there were only about 10 consents potentially affected by the swap and the consequences had been

“

“I would be surprised that it (the sharp decline Morrison had noted in his wells) is a consequence of any of the takes so far.”

The usual rules applied as with any consent, farmers still had to demonstrate demand for the water.

... the problem has been transferred to the deep aquifers

considered by decision-makers.

The practice would be evaluated in five years and reviewed in 10.

Senior hydrogeologist Patrick Durney said about five consents had been switched, but it was unlikely the infrastructure had been built yet to take the water.

Zone committee chairman Bill Thomas said every farmer in the area had an opinion about the use of water and there were swings and roundabouts. For instance, lowland streams had dried up when farmers higher up the plains had sunk deep wells.

$50,000 boost for rowing club Ashburton’s community-based projects have snared more than $200,000 worth of funding in the latest funding hand-out from the Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury.

The biggest winner was the Ashburton Rowing Club with a $50,000 grant towards its boat shed extensions.

The Ashburton’s Menz Shed’s new shed fit-out project attracted a grant of $44,000, while the Allenton Sports Club received $40,000 to upgrade its artificial bowling green.

Hauora Ashburton District leadership group which targets connectedness, well-being and safety issues in the community received $34,000 towards its administrative costs.

Other local welfare agencies to receive grants were Presbyterian Support, $15,000 towards

therapy and budget advice programmes and St Vincent de Paul, $10,000 towards foodbank supplies.

Mid Canterbury Hockey received $12,000 towards safety fencing, the Age Concern Ashburton seniors hip hop group, $2000 and St Andrew’s Sports Club, $2000 to purchase more visible yellow indoor bowls.

Across Mid and South Canterbury, the trust gave away donations totalling $564,541 to 29 community organisations and 67 schools.

The school donations were made to principals’ discretionary funds for the assistance of disadvantaged students. Funding for each school is determined by a formula based on roll numbers and decile rating and ranges between $11 and $16 per student.

OUR VIEW

Filipino pride on display this weekend Megan Gnad

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

T

he bright colours of the Filipino flag will be flying proudly in Ashburton this weekend.

In an exciting mix of passionate sportsmanship and hometown rivalry, we get to play host to about 700 athletes and their supporters who will arrive for the South Island Filipino Games.

This is a big deal for the local Filipino community and one the rest of Ashburton needs to get behind, support and embrace.

For the past decade, local players would travel the length of the country to attend these games, but as the town has grown and our facilities have improved, it means the South Island can now come to us.

Co-ordinator Earl Magtibay told me it wasn’t until the building of the EA Networks Centre (where the opening ceremony and many codes will hold their events) that he knew we were ready to host such an event.

The infrastructure was in place to put on a show and that’s exactly what they’ll be doing all weekend.

Filipinos from all walks of life will be coming from the districts of Nelson, Hurunui, Christchurch, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, Invercargill and Balclutha.

Included on the schedule – at different locations around town – will be everything from lawn tennis and the hotly-anticipated basketball games, to volleyball, billiards and darts.

The Filipino Dairy Workers in New Zealand Inc (FDWNZ) will host the games on Saturday and Sunday.

It will also coincide with the group’s 10-year anniversary as an incorporated society, which will be officially celebrated in September.

An event of this scale is further evidence of the massive contribution the Filipino community makes to Mid Canterbury and the way they are helping shape development in the region.

The extra visitor numbers will be a welcome boost to local accommodation providers, our cafes, restaurants and services; not to mention what the influx of new visitors will mean for local tourism.

If you’re competing this weekend, good luck.

If you’re visiting, we hope you can come back and explore more.

And if you see competitors celebrating their love of sport and culture, show your support.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

T

his time of the year – May 31 and June 1 – when sharemilkers move from one farm to another with their cows is traditionally called Gypsy Day. A recent Otago Regional Council media release referred to Gypsy Day, but Dunedin city councillor Aaron Hawkins objected, saying the term “gypsy’’ was often used as a slur against Roma people.

Council officials later said the term was still commonly used in farming circles, but because of its “undertones’’, the council would not use it in future.

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK Melissa I thought it was called gypsy day because it’s the end of the season and the time when workers are most likely to change jobs and move on to new jobs/ farms. Most of the cows on the roads are moving to dry blocks for winter grazing and return home in time for calving. I don’t see how it’s offensive, gypsy day just refers to the often nomadic lifestyle of dairy workers.

Learning all the time I

love coffee, especially at 4am weekdays when I’m prepping my radio show for the day. But even I think this is going overboard!

The world’s first smartphone case that also serves users a warm shot of espresso.

It is called ‘Mokase’ and Smart K, the Italian company that came up with it, says they were looking for a way to make coffee available anywhere.

The case doesn’t appear much larger than a standard smartphone case, hence the fact that it only carries one lonely shot of espresso. The heat-proof case contains the water and ground beans necessary to prepare the espresso.

All you have to do is insert a capsule into the case, and access the Mokase app on your phone and press a virtual button. A built-in battery will heat up the coffee in the capsule to around 50-60°C. When it’s ready, another button in the Mokase app will allow you to pour the espresso through a hole at the top of the case.

Luckily, in Mid Canterbury we have some awesome cafes and

are never too far from a great coffee.

Now, from the ‘well I didn’t know that’ file.

Most of us use these consumer products every day without being aware of the fact that they will not last forever and that they should be replaced after some period of time.

• Pillows: 2-3 years.

Natural wear and tear will make the pillow to lose its shape and because of lack of support, you will experience neck pain. Moreover, your pillow will become a home for dust mites.

• Bathroom towel: 1-3 years.

Most of us hang our towels on a hook to air dry without knowing that these damp towels are a fantastic environment for bacterial growth. Washing towels

after they ferment in their wet state will not solve the problem. You’d think they would last longer, considering you are supposed to be clean when you use them, right?

Perfume: 1-3 years.

Perfumes that contain essential oils can last for three years when they are stored closed and two years if they are stored opened.

Bra: 1-2 years.

Once a bra begins to lose its shape, loses its elasticity, or becomes uncomfortable, trash it and buy a new one.

Running shoes: 1 year.

Once they hit 450-500km, their cushioning starts to break down and causes stress to your joints. 500km!

Mine should last the rest of my life then.

Spices: 1-3 years.

Spices lose their taste and smell over time. Ground spices, especially, should not be kept more than 6 months. (I just checked all the labels, and we have no ‘ground’. Phew! Ba Dom Tish).

• Disinfectants: 3 months.

They can lose their effectiveness after three months of use.

• Hairbrush: 1 year.

It is recommended you clean your brushes thoroughly once a week and replace them yearly. If the hairbrush you use is a natural bristle, buy a new one every 7-10 months. That’s one of the great things about radio, no need to own a hairbrush.

I had a wander around the new Countdown on Thursday morning not long after their opening.

I must congratulate the team on the store – big, bright and breezy.

There were people there from 6.40am lining up to be the first through the door at 8.30am.

That’s commitment!

Antarctica crack growing A long-growing crack in the Larsen C ice shelf, one of Antarctica’s largest floating platforms of ice, appears to be nearing its endgame.

Researchers with Project MIDAS, working out of Swansea University and Aberystwyth University in Wales and studying the shelf by satellites and through other techniques, have released a new update showing that the crack grew a stunning 17km in the space of just one week between May 25 and May 31.

It now has just over 12km to go before an iceberg roughly six times the size of Auckland breaks free into the Southern Ocean.

“There appears to be very little to prevent the iceberg from breaking away completely,” the researchers write.

Elsewhere in their post, they note that the crack has now curved towards the front of the ice shelf and the ocean, meaning that the time when a major break could occur “is probably very close.”

The researchers have estimated that the section of ice set to break off could be over 5000 square kilometres in area.

“When it calves, the Larsen C Ice Shelf will lose more than 10 per cent of its area to leave the ice front at its most retreated position ever recorded; this event will fundamentally change the landscape

Red Shoes advert shamed

Larsen C ice shelf of the Antarctic Peninsula,” the Project MIDAS team wrote. “We have previously shown that the new configuration will be less stable than it was prior to the rift, and that Larsen C may eventually follow the example of its neighbour Larsen B, which disintegrated in 2002 following a similar rift-induced calving event.”

The prospect of an enormous iceberg afloat in the seas around Antarctica could draw further attention to the threat of climate change at a time when

US President Donald Trump is considering whether to exit the Paris agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

An ice shelf is the floating extension of a glacier that itself grows from the land out into the ocean.

However, there is not nearly as much ice held behind Larsen C as there is behind other glaciers in East and West Antarctica, which have also begun to lose mass in recent decades.

Chloe Grace Moretz is apologising for the marketing campaign for the upcoming movie Red Shoes, which has been accused of body shaming. It was announced earlier this month that Moretz would voice a character in Red Shoes And The Seven Dwarfs. At the Cannes Film Festival last week, the first promotional material for the animated film was unveiled. But the poster only attracted controversy. It shows a slim Snow White transformed into a curvier a woman, with the tagline, “What if Snow White was no longer beautiful and the 7 Dwarfs not so short?” Many have interpreted that as a body-shaming message that implies one is ugly and not beautiful if you are fuller-figured.

Passengers fight back in plane threat Brave passengers staged a mid-flight retaliation against a would-be bomber, binding his hands and planting their feet on him after he threatened an international flight out of Melbourne.

Malaysia Airlines flight 128 abandoned its planned trip to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday night and turned back to Tullamarine Airport where terrified passengers were forced to wait about another 80 minutes before authorities stormed the aircraft.

Police boarded the plane, removed the offender and an object he claimed was explosive.

Former AFL player Andrew Leoncelli says the man had a “boombox” the size of a watermelon before passengers tackled him, tied him up and held him down.

“He had eight shoes sitting on his face, his back and his legs... (they) jammed him in between the row and they stuck their feet on him,” he told 3AW yesterday.

Leoncelli said passengers endured a terrifying wait for police, unsure if there

was a bomb on board.

Passenger Selena Brown said the passengers weren’t going to let the man cause a problem.

Passengers were calm but unhappy about how long it took police to get onto the plane, Brown said.

“Victoria Police Superintendent Tony Langdon would not say how long police waited to board the plane.

“We have a standard procedure in relation to these matters and at times we will be slightly delayed in what we need to do purely because of concerns in relation to the passengers,” he told reporters.

■ UNITED STATES

Trumps to withdraw US from climate accord A White House official says President Donald Trump is expected to withdraw the US from the Paris climate accord.

But the official says there may be “caveats in the language” that Trump uses to announce the withdrawal – leaving open the possibility that the decision isn’t final.

Trump later said on Twitter that he would announce his decision over the next few days.

“I will be announcing my decision

on the Paris Accord over the next few days,” he said. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Nearly 200 nations, including the United States, agreed in 2015 to voluntarily reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to combat climate change.

During Trump’s overseas trip last week, European leaders pressed him to keep the US in the landmark agreement.

“You can appreciate that an aircraft is quite a complex piece of equipment.

“So we have to make sure that we’re doing everything humanly possible to not further endanger passengers, crew and (the) person apprehended.”

Passengers Stan and Pam Young were on MH128 starting a trip to London when the trouble unfolded and knew nothing of the bomb threat until hours later when they disembarked and were searched before being taken to an isolated terminal room.

“It took two hours for them (police) to come. We sat on the tarmac waiting not really knowing what was going on,” Ms Young said.

“If there was a bomb on that plane we should have been evacuated from it. Instead we sat there,” Mr Young said.

A 25-year-old Dandenong man is in custody.

He has a history of mental illness, police said.

Singapore more digitally competitive Singapore is now the world’s most digitally competitive country, according to an inaugural World Digital Competitiveness ranking by Swiss business school IMD. The new ranking released this week measures a country’s ability to adopt digital technologies that transform government practices, business models and the larger society.

Fifty criteria were analysed in the report, reflecting an economy’s capability to harness new technology and be ready for the future.

While Singapore ranked tops in knowledge and technology, it fared badly in business agility, earning the 14th spot. - DPA

Rob in new relationship?

On May 30, Rob Kardashian posted a few images to Instagram to honour his baby’s mama Blac Chyna, even calling her “the woman I love.” One day later, though, a report surfaced indicated that he is dating reality TV star Mehgan James. On May 31, In Touch quoted a source who said, “Rob’s been seeing Mehgan James for almost three months, and most of the Kardashians are very upset about it because Mehgan is known for being out of control and volatile.” The insider added, “The Kardashians want Rob to find a woman who is kind and calm.” Mehgan, 26, has appeared on several reality shows.

Jury date for Taylor Swift Taylor Swift has a date with a jury in August. The pop star accuses former KYGO radio host David Mueller of groping her at a backstage meet-andgreet. “It was completely intentional, and I have never been so sure of anything in my life,” testified Swift at a deposition.

In turn, Mueller denies the assault and battery claim and contends that Swift and her team got him fired for no good reason. Both versions will be heard by a jury at a nine-day trial beginning on August 7 as a Colorado federal judge partially rejected Swift’s summary judgment bid to defeat Mueller’s claims.

In brief Housing boom over

Google’s tax bill ‘modest’ The New Zealand subsidiary of internet giant Google paid $356,124 in New Zealand income taxes last year.

In formal accounts to December 31 2016, the company recorded revenues of $12.6m, up from $10.7m the year earlier.

The company’s structuring sees its New Zealand subsidiary earn only a “service fee” from parent company Alphabet in return for providing marketing services.

New Zealand companies paying Google for advertising are typically invoiced from related companies based in low-tax Singapore or Ireland.

An investigation last year into the online advertising market found Google and Facebook – who run a similar setup – likely respectively earned $400m and $100m in advertising revenues from sales to local client.

In a statement accompanying the accounts a spokesman for the company said they paid US$4.7b in taxes globally.

“Google complies with the tax laws in every country where we operate.

“We agree everyone would benefit from a simpler, more transparent system and believe international forums are the right places

House prices in Australia’s capital cities fell 1.1 per cent in May, the latest sign Australia’s booming property market has finally peaked.

to have those conversations,” the spokesman said.

The tax arrangements of multinational companies – particularly internet firms whose “weightless” operations allow them to easily relocate economic activity around the globe – has become a hot topic internationally in recent years.

New Zealand government reforms intended to crack down on profit-shifting by multinational companies, expected to haul in $100m annually, have explicitly warned problems of capturing tax revenue from online economic activity are unresolved. - NZME

New boss at Sistema Sistema Plastics chief operating officer Drew Muirhead has been appointed chief executive to replace founder Brendan Lindsay following the company’s sale to US-based Newell Brands for $660 million last year. Originally from Scotland, Muirhead moved to New Zealand 14 years ago and started working at Sistema on the factory floor as a die setter, becoming chief operating officer in 2014. - NZME

ON THE MARKETS

May reporting season ends.

Mainfreight was a stand out for the week delivering another solid result, as momentum continues to build for the company. Australasia was again a bright spot while the Americas segment was a notable laggard.

Summerset Group announced a retail bond offer of $75 million. The issue will be a six-year maturity. This is Summerset’s first bond issue and this is also a first for the New Zealand retirement village sector.

Outside of the main index, Orion Health Group announced a capital raising for $32.9 million, via a two-for-nine rights issue at 90c. This was announced together with its full year result, which reflected a loss of $34.2 million, due to a slowdown in sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Data was released from the ANZ’s latest business confidence index, which saw a rise to 15 per cent from 11per cent in April.

Of those surveyed, 38.3per cent see better times ahead for their own businesses, up from 37.7 in April and well above the long run average of 28 per cent.

Businesses own expectations are often a better gauge of conditions, reflecting a largely positive sentiment in the business community.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand released its biannual Financial Stability report this week.

This is an overview of the nation’s financial systems and helps to identify risks for the economy.

The May report revealed that the financial systems are working well and that tighter credit controls, specifically the loan-tovalue ratio’s on house sales are beginning to take effect.

The report acknowledged that the global economic outlook had improved however, pockets of political and policy uncertainty remain. Domestically, the three main risks to the economy continue to be the housing market, bank funding pressures and dairy sector indebtedness.

Of the political risks, the UK’s election is imminent, taking place on June 8.

This has increased uncertainty for financial markets over the last couple of weeks as polls are now showing a much closer result.

The incumbent Conservative Party’s lead has narrowed significantly. Some polls are predicting that Theresa May’s Tories will not gain enough votes to govern, which will affect Brexit negotiations. However, after pollsters got the results of the Brexit vote and the US Presidential election so wrong, many appear to be looking at alternate options for predicting how the election will play out, like betting sites.

Blackout a one-stop truck H

olden is launching a special edition Colorado Blackout 4×2 utility in the run-up to the National Fieldays at Mystery Creek, Hamilton, June 14 to 17.

“The Holden New Zealand (HNZ) team, has constructed a limited-edition Colorado LS model kitted out with more than $11,000 of Holden Genuine Accessories, representing an excellent value proposition,” says HNZ general manager-marketing Marnie-Jane Samphier.

“When Colorado first arrived in New Zealand, part of the appeal was the huge number of Genuine Holden Accessories available with the new model – almost 80 in total,” says Samphier.

“As part of our Fieldays campaign, we decided to build a ‘one-stop-shop truck’ and feature a selection of these accessories,” she says.

The Blackout Edition wears front and rear flare guards, an extended sports bar, sports guard liner, steel side steps, 18-inch rims and tyres, plus a LED light-bar as well as nudge bar.

“A unique, understated Blackout bonnet decal completes the overall look of the great looking new truck, and we believe it will receive a huge amount of attention when it takes pride of place on our stand at Fieldays,” says Samphier.

The special edition Holden Colorado Blackout is only available throughout May and June and is available now at participating Holden Dealers around the country.

Based on a Colorado LS 4×2 manual, the Blackout model has an RSP from $39,990 plus GST and on-road costs.

As well as the Black vehicle on the front cover, Holden is also applying the Blackout accessory kit across all the other available colours in the Colorado range upon request.

Paying homage to a motoring icon

T

he spiritual home of one of the greats of Kiwi sport is to get a new lease of life – quite literally.

Motor racing legend Bruce McLaren’s original garage in Remuera is to undergo a sympathetic transformation into apartments and potentially a suitably themed cafe or restaurant, whilst still paying homage to the iconic driver and constructor.

The heritage building itself was built back in 1926 but after many years as a garage and home to the McLaren Trust is now in real need of modernisation to ensure it is preserved for future generations of Kiwis

and motorsport enthusiasts to enjoy.

Developer Charles Richards has consequently assembled a team of heritage specialists to oversee the transformation.

But fans of McLaren don’t need to worry too much, as original features of the McLaren’s own apartment, including the famous “F1 drivers signature wall” signed by some of the all-time greats of the sport, will be retained.

Six apartments will be created within the building – and they will all be created to an incredibly high standard.

The three original apartments on the first floor of the garage building will be

refurbished and will retain character features such as exposed brickwork. All living spaces are north facing and bathed in sunshine and the six apartments will be finished to the same exacting standard and specification.

The building will, of course, retain its original external shape and style.

A new canopy and enclosure on the ground floor will be extensively glazed to create the impression of an open area below a floating roof, reminiscent of the original slender forecourt and canopy.

And who knows ... the garage area on the ground floor could even become a McLar-

en themed cafe and a lasting reminder – and celebration – of one of New Zealand’s sporting greats.

Franchise owner Graeme Moore, himself very experienced in motor sport in New Zealand and with a son Richard who is a national champion, said everyone involved in the project was sympathetic to both the needs of the building, and for the overriding requirement to preserve its history.

“There’s so many cues to McLaren and history that any of these apartments would make fantastic places for motorsport people, or for those who are keen to share in part of our history and heritage.”

Bespoke, beautifully W

hen, approximately one year ago, Rolls-Royce presented 103EX to the world, it invoked its coachbuilding heritage to inspire its future clientele.

This Vision Vehicle envisaged a world of completely personal luxury mobility where new technologies would allow every Rolls-Royce to be designed in their owners’ image, should they wish.

Such a Rolls-Royce would represent the truest meaning of luxury – a personal, bespoke motor car like no other for each individual commissioning patron.

The mere idea of a modern coachbuilt Rolls-Royce was not enough for one Rolls-Royce connoisseur however. This individual approached the marque with his own idea of a two-seat Rolls-Royce that he wanted to be created in the here and now.

That motor car is here, now and is christened ‘Sweptail’.

In a nod to the swept-tail of certain Rolls-Royces from the 1920s, admired by the client so much, he asked Rolls-Royce to reimagine this feature on his one-off motor car.

Presenting the car to the media at the Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este this week, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said, “Sweptail is a truly magnificent car. It exudes the romance of travel for its own sake, and immediately places ‘Sweptail’ in the pantheon of the world’s great intercontinental tourers.

“Rolls-Royce’s history as the world’s leading coachbuilder is at the very core of its identity as the world’s leading luxury brand. The arrival of 103EX shone a light on the future of Rolls-Royce in this field, and ‘Sweptail’ is proof, today, that Rolls-Royce is at the pinnacle of coachbuilding.

Through this commission, RollsRoyce has proven once again to be the world’s leading luxury goods provider.

“Sweptail is the automotive equivalent of Haute Couture,” comments Giles Taylor, Director of Design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “It is a Rolls-Royce designed and hand-tailored to fit a specific customer. This customer came to the House of Rolls-Royce with an idea, shared in the creative process where we advised him on his cloth, and then we tailored that cloth to him.

“You might say we cut the cloth for the suit of clothes that he will be judged by.”

A connoisseur and collector of distinctive, one-off items including superyachts and private aircraft, this gentleman came to Rolls-Royce to realise his vision of a one-off luxury motor car like no other.

The client immediately established a close rapport with the design department led by Taylor, who set about bringing the idea to life.

Inspired by the beautiful coachbuilt Rolls-Royces of the 1920s and 1930s, the client’s desire was for a coachbuilt two seater coupé featuring a large panoramic glass roof. He was inspired by many of his favourite cars from the marque’s golden era of the early 20th century, as well as many classic and modern yachts.

The grandeur, scale, flamboyance and drama of the 1925 Phantom I Round Door built by Jonckheere; the svelte tapering glasshouse, dramatic dash to axle proportion and up-sweep of the rear departure angle of the 1934 Phantom II Streamline Saloon by Park Ward and the flowing roofline, rising departure angle, and again the swept tail coachwork of the 1934 Park Ward 20/25 Limousine Coupé were all considered by today’s Rolls-Royce designers in the creation of this very distinctive motor car.

“Our job was to guide, edit and finely hone the lines that would ultimately give our client this most perfect of RollsRoyces,” comments Taylor.

The result of this one-off coachbuild project is the completely unique RollsRoyce ‘Sweptail’.

The highlight feature of ‘Sweptail’ however is that specifically asked for by the client. An uninterrupted glass roof, one of the largest and most complex ever seen on a motor car of any marque, allows the cabin to be flooded with natural light, animating a host of beautifully handcrafted materials and componentry.

The size, scale and complexity of the glass roof’s curvature is a marvel to behold, and from above again accentuates the speed and elegance of ‘Sweptail’.

Creating the ambience of the interior of the motor car, the glass of the roof is framed by polished aluminium rails that channel it into a vanishing point at the rearmost extremity of the cabin.

One story leads to another

O

nce upon a time ...

Maree Chambers suggested this story should begin with those words.

You see once upon a time – that time actually being the day this is being written advice was sought from Maree.

She asked the writer what else are you doing today and was told there is a story to be written.

“What will it be about? “asked Maree.

Answer “it’s going to be a follow up to another story, but the opening words are proving elusive, so have you got any suggestions?”

That’s when Maree said well how about “once upon a time”.

A great idea which the writer is grateful for.

So here we go.

Once upon another time – this particular time being two weeks ago – we were able to share Sister Annette’s story and one of her special memories.

Readers will recall it was a delightful story of a lady who followed her calling to a religious vocation and many of you have responded by telling us you found Sister Annette’s story fascinating.

To recap as a young lady growing up in Sevenoaks, Kent, prior to immigrating to New Zealand Sister Annette saw a Triumph Mayflower, a car which because of it’s styling left a lasting impression.

It’s obvious from the response we’ve had the Triumph Mayflower has left similar memories with many others too.

Not surprising because the Mayflower, with its razor-edge styling, is a classically designed car.

The Triumph Mayflower is a two-door salon and several people have asked if there was a four-door version.

Well there sort of was and there sort of wasn’t.

Triumph did produce a similarly-styled four-door car ultimately badged as the Renown and for some time it and the May-

Classy interior, for its day, and the razor-edged styling personified (below).

flower were being built simultaneously.

But to go back a step.

Once upon a time – this particular time being 1897 – Siegfried Bettmann, a German gentleman who had settled in England, founded the Triumph Motor Company in Coventry.

Like so many others he began by manufacturing bicycles and soon moved into the production of motorcycles, adding automobiles in 1923.

Following World War Two, the by then Standard Triumph group unveiled a large model called the Triumph 1800 Town and Country Saloon.

It later became the 2000 (another model bearing this name was introduced by the company about two decades later) subsequently it was renamed as the Renown in October 1949.

Permission was sought from the Royal

coachbuilding techniques of attaching sheet metal over a wooden frame made from ash.

Sheet metal was in short supply after the war and was largely reserved for manufacturing just the fenders of automobiles.

However, aluminium was still readily available because of the large stocks left over from RAF aircraft manufacturing, which had taken place in a number of car

An absolute classic which stands out and attracts attention, the Triumph Renown is now a very rare car

Navy to use the name Renown, in honour of the First World War battle cruiser HMS Renown.

Incidentally the Standard Motor Company again with permission named one of its later models after HMS Vanguard.

Back to the Triumph Renown.

The bodies for this model were handbuilt by Mulliners of Birmingham – not to be confused with the famous H.J. Mulliner of West London – using the traditional

factories including Standard’s facilities.

Using aluminium originally intended for combat aircraft and adopting the name of a famous battle cruiser – and given because of its luxurious style the Triumph Renown was probably used to transport top brass – it could be said the car had serrious military connections.

The Renown’s body was fitted to an entirely new pressed-steel chassis and utilised new front suspension components.

The 2088cc four-cylinder Standard engine was fitted with a three-speed transmission with a column change gear lever.

The combination of the column shift and a front bench seat made the Renown a spacious saloon that could cruise comfortably at 75 mph (120 km/h).

As time progressed, aluminium became more expensive, an added cost which impacted the bottom line, contributing to the demise of the Renown in 1954.

The side profile of the defined razoredge coachwork has a striking resemblance to some of the Hooper-bodied Rolls Royce and Bentley saloons from the 1930s.

The total production figures of several variants of Renown’s from 1949-1954 amounted to approximately 9301 units, with this total including 191 limousines.

An absolute classic which stands out and attracts attention, the Triumph Renown is now a very rare car, with the UK Triumph Razoredge Owner’s Club Ltd knowing of only around 250 Renowns surviving worldwide.

The smaller Triumph Mayflower, also named after a famous ship, has a very similar style and look and some of the razor-edge styling can be detected in other models produced by Triumph.

While we are not sure if there are any examples of the Triumph Renown in this country, several people including the writer feel that once upon a time they have seen one, but if so, it was a long while ago.

Likewise everyone who responded to our last story said a fair bit of water has passed under the bridge since they last saw a Triumph Mayflower.

Once upon a time Triumph with both the Renown and the Mayflower set out to produce sharply styled distinctive and memorable luxury cars.

They succeeded!

This story is very much a case of one nice memory leads to another – actually those could have been not bad opening words – but Maree’s are better.

Ashburton Guardian 23

In brief Wynne on target Samantha Wynne has a number of chances at Phar Lap Raceway today to move closer to bettering her best ever tally of winners in a season. The Christchurch-based jockey has a strong book of rides at the South Canterbury meeting with the Kevin Myers-trained Bisou Bisou in the Village Inn Sports Bar Dash one of her choice mounts. “I finished second on her at Blenheim last year and she’s a nice little filly,” Wynne said. “She’s in very good form and I think she’ll be pretty hard to beat.”

- NZME

When Mr Wolf calls Samantha Wynne is looking forward to a brief overseas venture next month. “I got a call last night to go to China and I’ll be riding at two meetings over there on the 6th and 8th of July,” the Christchurchbased jockey said. The invitation was extended by the Inner Mongolia Rider Horse principal Lang Lin, commonly known as Mr Wolf. “It will be nice to have a look around over there and I’ll only miss one meeting here,” Wynne said. - NZME

■ HARNESS JEWELS

Expect the unexpected The best horse champion trainer Mark Purdon takes to tomorrow’s $1.2 million Harness Jewels meeting is the one he is the most unsure of.

Because while Purdon and partner Natalie Rasmussen are favoured to win two-thirds of the all-group one programme, it is $1.50 chance Heaven Rocks who he doesn’t know what to expect from.

The giant pacer with the small brain is the second best pacer in the country behind Lazarus and routinely gives away huge starts and still smashes quality opponents in races like the Easter Cup. But tomorrow he faces settling six to 10 lengths off Waikiki Beach, his stablemate with two sub-1:50 mile times to his name in the $150,000 four-year-old Emerald.

And for all his admiration for Heaven Rocks’ motor, Purdon knows that sort of disadvantage could be near impossible to overcome in a sizzling mile.

“We all know how good he is but he could be close to last while I think Waikiki Beach will probably lead,” Purdon said.

“And logic tells you that will be a very hard advantage to overcome, especially if they run hard the whole way.”

Purdon says he hasn’t been put off by a loose workout from Heaven Rocks at Ashburton last Saturday where he paced roughly.

“He still could have won that had I asked him to go and he will improve. But it could be the tricky race of the day.”

Barrier draws have been very kind to Piccadilly Princess, Elle Mac and Spankem from the All

Stars stable so Purdon expects them to perform up to their optimum, while he rates President Roydon a chance to upset Enghien in race five for the same reason.

“He got very close to him last start and has improved since. I think we can lead and Enghien might have to sit parked so we can test him.”

Sitting parked is where the All Stars flying filly Spanish Armada might find herself in the threeyear-old Diamond, with her widish draw suggesting she could take a while to get alongside arch rival Delightful Memphis.

She has dominated the latter most of the season and the fact she sat parked to crush her NZ Oaks opposition last start suggests Spanish Armada can do so again, but it may not be a comfortable watch for punters.

But Purdon saves his most de-

finitive quote of Jewels day for his pick of his four contenders in the last on the card, for the threeyear-old pacing boys.

This time last year’s More The Better just held out Ultimate Machete in the two-year-old division but since then the latter has been too strong in races like the Sires’ Stakes Final and Sales Series Pace.

Neither horse has had an ideal lead-up to tomorrow because their high ratings made it hard to find suitable races, but Purdon was very pleased with how Ultimate Machete worked in private at Addington on Monday.

“More The Better is very well and as close as he can be to ready Ultimate Machete just has a bigger motor than him these days and he is our clear best chance in that race.”

Stayer right in the groove for Wanganui Cup The prospect of a sticky track holds more concerns for Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman than Maygrove’s 60kg equal topweight when assessing the Group Two winner’s chances in tomorrow’s Listed Wanganui Cup. The Authorized six-year-old was sent out a $2.80 favourite in

last month’s Gr.3 Rotorua Cup (2300m) on a holding heavy track and Forsman was wary that similar conditions could blunt the grey stayer’s potency in the Civics @ Cambridge Thoroughbred Lodge-sponsored event.

“He was disappointing at Rotorua. He would have appreciated a

bit of rain and a looser track and that’s the one concern going into Wanganui,” said Forsman, who trains in partnership with Murray Baker.

“We’d love to see a bit of rain for him before Saturday. But he’s going really well. Matt [Cameron, jockey] came in this morning and

galloped him and he was really happy with the way he’s going.”

Maygrove has become accustomed to carrying 60kg in handicap races this season and did finish second under that weight in the Listed Hawke’s Bay Cup (2200m) three starts back behind Five To Midnight.

- NZME

Auckland Cup runner-up El Pistola has been retired after fracturing a fetlock. Bred by Frank and Faye Drummond and raced on lease by the Hoofit Bros Tokoroa Syndicate, El Pistola won four of her 30 starts and pushed Chenille to three-quarters of a length in the Gr.1 Auckland Cup (3200m) at Ellerslie in March. She was second to Chocante in the Gr.3 Counties Cup (2100m) at Pukekohe earlier this season.

- NZME

Cup start for mare Given the opportunity, Tiffany’s will chase a stakes credit at Wanganui.

The six-year-old mare is third on the ballot for the Listed Civics@ Cambridge Wanganui Cup and guaranteed a start in the Rating 65 Balance Accountants 2040. “If she gets a run she’ll start in the cup,” part-owner and trainer Tony Bambry said. “We want to get some black type with her.” - NZME

Take two for Rageese A false start has forced a change of Queensland plans for the Windsor Park Stud-bound stallion Rageese. The son of Street Cry was to have boarded a flight yesterday, but the plane remained grounded after an attempted hijacking forced a Malaysia Airlines flight bound for Kuala Lumpur to return to Melbourne. Rageese will contest the Gr.2 Moreton Cup ahead of Saturday week’s Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap.

- NZME

Tactics key for Slimline A change in race tactics has worked wonders for the Gary Vile-trained mare Slimline as she heads into tomorrow’s Listed Ag Challenge Stakes at Wanganui.

The decision was made to race her off the pace after her impressive first-up win this campaign and the five-year-old Castledale mare has gone on to record a win and placing in her two subsequent starts. “Danielle Johnson rode her back when she was fresh-up this year and she stormed home, so I’ve kept the same tactics and they seem to have worked with her,” Vile said.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Baabaas well motivated Respect is what the New Zealand Provincial Barbarians are after in their clash with the British and Irish Lions.

Coach Clayton McMillan named the lineup he hopes can push the Lions, but recognises the battle ahead of him.

“Obviously we’ve had our challenges in the side.

“We’ve gone with a lineup giving us a bit of size and then a bench that can give us a bit of pop.”

“We’ve got through the hard part of the week now.

“I’ll be satisfied if the boys complete the goals they set themselves and do the Barbarians jersey proud.”

“The Lions are the big dogs and if we can come out with a bit of respect, that’s the main thing.

McMillan named a powerful forward pack and complemented it with an exciting backline capable of playing with the flair associated with the Barbarians’ jersey.

Captain Sam Anderson-Heather said they’re keeping their own goals close to their chest.

“We’ve got a lot of goals and different motivations within the team but we’ll keep that between us.

“We obviously know about them but we want to make sure they know us by the end of the match.

The match kicks off at 7.35pm at Toll Stadium.

As of yesterday the venue was virtually a sell-out.

Lions’ Laidlaw keen to grab late chance

BY ANGELO RISSO Barely six weeks ago, Scottish halfback and skipper Greig Laidlaw was looking ahead at a rugby-less northern summer.

Yet fast forward to the present day – and 18,000 kilometres across the globe – and the wily No.9 is being mooted as a midweek captain of the British and Irish Lions.

The 31-year-old Laidlaw was originally omitted from coach Warren Gatland’s 41-man Lions squad for their 10-match New Zealand tour, but found himself back amongst the fray after the late withdrawal of English halfback Ben Youngs.

With Youngs withdrawing due to his sister-in-law’s terminal ill-

ness, it was hardly a moment of celebration for the Clermont Auvergne-bound playmaker.

But after being one of the first Lions to report for duty at Gatland’s training camp in Cardiff last month, Laidlaw is primed for a leadership role in tomorrow’s tour opener against the Provincial Barbarians in Whangarei.

Laidlaw scoffed at suggestions he could skipper the Lions if incumbent Sam Warburton was rested at any point, as proposed by former Scotland boss Vern Cotter this week.

Yet he is a near-certainty to play some part in Northland, and hopes to press his claim for a test No.9 shirt over Irish ace Conor Murray or Welshman Rhys Webb.

He will also need to play his

Greig Laidlaw way back into form after suffering ankle ligament damage in February and missing Scotland’s final three Six Nations games.

“It was difficult circumstances and I think everybody knows that, after that, it was a rugby opportunity for myself – it was good

for me to be in (camp) from the start,” Laidlaw said.

“It’s up to me to show what I’m all about.”

Just one of three Scots in camp alongside Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour, Laidlaw admitted the Lions’ training sessions had been scratchy in places but were coming together nicely after the arrival of several players from their clubs.

He knew little of the Barbarians’ playing group – bar Bryn Gatland at first-five – but expected them to stick to their customary adventurous style.

“They’re going to come together and I’m sure they’ll give it a rip, because that’s the Barbarians style all throughout the world,” Laidlaw said.

NZ U20s win opener Winger Tima Faingaanuku has scored a hat-trick as New Zealand beat Scotland 42-20 to open their campaign at the under-20 rugby world championship in Georgia. The five-time tournament champions scored six tries to three in Kutaisi, with Tasman flyer Faingaanuku crossing twice in the first spell to put them 19-10 ahead. New Zealand’s next pool opponents on Sunday are Italy, who lodged a 2221 win over Ireland.

- NZME

Selectors stay with Banks Marty Banks has again seen off the challenge of Lima Sopoaga for the Highlanders number 10 jersey. Banks will run the cutter in tomorrow afternoon’s Super Rugby derby against the Crusaders in Christchurch. Sopoaga has come off the bench the last two weeks against the Force and Waratahs.

The only change to the backs is Rob Thompson getting the nod at second-five and Richard Buckman moving to the left wing.

- NZME

Waratahs lose Phipps An ankle injury has ruled Wallabies halfback Nick Phipps out of the NSW Waratahs’ must-win Super Rugby match against the Chiefs.

Jake Gordon, who scored two tries after replacing Phipps against the Highlanders last week, will come into the starting side for tomorrow’s match in Hamilton.

Halfback Matt Lucas will come onto the bench along with new Wallabies squad backrower Jack Dempsey.

- AAP

Haylett-Petty lucky Western Force fullback Dane Haylett-Petty admits he is a tad lucky to earn his latest Wallabies call-up but is keen to make the most of the opportunity. HaylettPetty was named in the 34-man Wallabies squad for the June test window despite having not played since tearing his right hamstring in the Force’s loss to the Chiefs on April 22. The 27-year-old will make his return in tomorrow night’s clash with the Hurricanes in Perth, before linking up with the Wallabies’ squad before tests against Fiji, Scotland, and Italy. Haylett-Petty has impressed during his 14-Test career, and Wallabies coach Michael Cheika is backing the West Australian to produce the goods yet again. - AAP

In brief Anna Harrison retires Silver Ferns defender Anna Harrison has announced her retirement from international netball.

Harrison represented New Zealand in 88 tests, including two Netball World Cups (2003 and 2011) and three Commonwealth Games (2006, 2010 and 2014) in a career which spanned over a decade. A two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist and gold at the 2003 Netball World Cup highlight her career which began in 2002.

She was renowned as a menacing defender who could play all three defensive roles.

There’s some strong expectation on the contingent of Ashburton indoor bowlers heading to Nelson to compete in the South Island Championships over the course of the weekend.

The Ashburton district has a proud history at the championships and currently boasts having the two most successful bowlers at the event playing in the region in Michael Lawson and Simon Thomas, who hold six titles each.

Thomas won’t be in action over the weekend, having just returned from Australia where

he wore the silver fern of New Zealand for the Mat Blacks, but Lawson will be on the mats and looking to defend the South Island triples title he won with Ken MacKenzie and Stephen Preddy last year.

Lawson and Preddy will combine forces for the pairs, an event they won together in 2013.

MacKenzie too will have plenty of eyes pointed in his direction as the defending player of the tournament after winning the triples and finishing runner-up in the pairs 12 months ago.

He will pair up with his wife Rowena in the pairs again and the duo will then combine with

Lawson and Preddy for the fours.

Off the back of his hot form on the local scene, Grant Wilson will be looking to carry his form to Nelson as well.

The former national Champion of Champion Singles winner will team up with former New Zealand junior singles winner, Mat Bassett in the pairs, while the duo will be joined by Rowena MacKenzie in the triples.

They will then combine with South Otago’s Chris Moffitt and Alannah Preddy to contest the fours.

Also in action from the Ashburton region over the weekend

are Russell, Cameron and David Ellis.

The twin brothers, Cameron and David, who have a New Zealand secondary schools’ pairs title next to their name will team up for the pairs while father Russell will play with Marilyn Holmes.

It will be an all Ellis affair in the triples, before all four team up to tackle the hotly contested fours competition as well.

The tournament will give a number of the players in action a chance to put in final preparations before they head to Taupo next week for the week-long national championships.

Titans chasing Origin form from Hayne Gold Coast want Jarryd Hayne to reproduce his NSW State of Origin form for the Titans after he committed to the final year of his deal with the NRL club.

The Titans confirmed yesterday that Hayne had opted against moving back to Sydney to invoke the final-year option of his $1.2-million a season deal with the club, ending months of speculation.

The option was set to expire on May 31, but chief executive Graham Annesley said the delay was to give Hayne the best chance to

have an undistracted lead-in to the Origin opener on Wednesday.

It worked, as Hayne scored one try and made four tackle-breaks in the Blues’ stunning 28-4 win.

But now Annesley wants that to be replicated at club level as the 12th-placed Titans attempt to reignite their season.

“Jarryd showed again last night the kind of value he can deliver,” Annesley said.

“He’s starting to show some of those touches we all know he can deliver. We look forward to him reproducing that form for us.”

Hayne’s representatives had previously sounded out the possibility of a return to Parramatta, but the Eels stated he was not part of their future plans.

Hayne himself also admitted through a club statement a return to Sydney had crossed his mind, before he recommitted to the Titans.

But Annesley said he was always confident Hayne would stay, and scoffed at suggestions he had only remained at the club after none of their NRL rivals would meet his hefty price tag.

“Everyone’s got the same salary cap and everyone’s got the same opportunity to decide who they bid for and who they don’t,” Annesley said. “I don’t have any doubt there would have been enormous interest in Jarryd.”

And he’s now confident of getting a significant return on the club’s investment, both on and off the field.

“There aren’t too many players in the game that can generate commercial opportunities for clubs, and Jarryd is one of those,” he said.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since Australia last lifted the ICC Champions Trophy eight years ago in South Africa. That team powered past New Zealand to win by six wickets in Centurion.

New Zealand are again the opponents in Australia’s tournament opener at Edgbaston, with a side brimming with talent. But the inclusion of Chris Lynn is a fascinating one. The big-hitting Queenslander’s explosive talents could be the X-factor in a tourney where scores of 300 will be par.

Dogs sign Hopoate Des Hasler has added another piece to Canterbury’s 2018 NRL puzzle, after the Bulldogs secured the signature of Will Hopoate for the next three seasons. Having already lured Aaron Woods and Kieran Foran to the club for next season, Hopoate confirmed yesterday the coach who gave him his debut at Manly in 2010 had been instrumental at keeping him at the club. Crucially, the 25-year-old’s deal does not include a Sunday clause, meaning he will not skip games on the sabbath as he did in 2016. - AAP

Peats plays through pain Nathan Peats was so determined to play out his Origin debut, he battled through the pain of a badly corked thigh. The Blues rookie No.9 was struggling in the second half after copping a Will Chambers knee to his leg. Coach Laurie Daley was preparing to replace Peats when it became obvious centre Josh Dugan was out on his feet. Peats refused to come off and delivered a message to Daley that he was right to see out the 80.

- AAP

Triumph for Fifita NSW and Cronulla wrecking ball Andrew Fifita reinforced why he is fast building a reputation as one of the NRL’s premier big game players after turning in a barnstormer in the Blues’ Origin I win. After scoring one try, playing an important role in another two, running for 153 metres and busting seven tackles, the giant NSW prop was named man of the match.

Tensions rising on the water

By Mark OraMs

www.guardianonline.co.nz

Friday, June 2, 2017

here was no racing yesterday, but still plenty of theories and mysteries to mull over.

What further development is likely in these AC50 catamarans?

More specifically, what are the teams holding back?

Those are the main questions arising on social media.

Only the teams truly know the answers, and the old sailing adage of “loose lips sink ships” is their mantra.

Everything else is speculation.

Here is some more.

1. The five challengers must stay in the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series – no point keeping some ‘kit in the bag’. Get knocked out, and you won’t get to use it. The teams under pressure to make the semi-finals are forced to show their hand.

France, and probably BAR, have to play all their cards. They can develop further, but only using existing kit.

Artemis and Team Japan may still be holding kit back, but probably not.

Team New Zealand have stated they have more equipment to unveil, and are in a position to hold that back. This is a smart play and they have this opportunity by virtue of having a competitive all around package.

2. Defenders Team Oracle USA are already in the Cup Match and don’t need to show their hand yet. They will be using their involvement in the qualifying rounds to check in, to test and to learn. They will be looking carefully at what the challengers are doing, in terms of equipment, set ups and technique.

They will be putting a huge effort into intel-gathering and will be poring over the telemetry data from all the challengers and their own yacht.

They also have time on their side. While the America’s Cup match is only weeks away, they do not have to race after the qualifying series and therefore are not pre-occupied with this in the lead up to the Cup. 3. What can the teams still do to develop their boats?

All teams must have the same hulls, wings, jibs. They can vary the foils (four main foils and unlimited rudders) and onboard control systems. The latter must be thoroughly tried and tested so replacing them would be very risky.

This leaves the focus on foils and rudders. These take months to build so new ones won’t be built now. But they may already have other foils and rudders ready to bring out.

To my eye, Team NZ and Oracle have used the same main foils throughout so far – Oracle a non-matching pair and Team NZ a matching pair (if they are different it is too subtle to pick up on TV coverage). I think the other teams have used different foils so they have already put their cards on the table in that respect.

I expect Team Oracle USA will do more testing – including using Team Japan – prior to bringing their third and fourth foils out for the Cup Match.

Team New Zealand will want to do the same. If they can win the challenger semi-finals they may not put the third and fourth foil on until the Challenger finals.

I do not think they would want to go into the America’s Cup without having tested these additional foils in real racing.

4. Thinking back, this strategy is reminiscent of the Team New Zealand 1995 approach where NZL38 was used through the Louis Vuitton Challenger series and then the faster NZL32 was introduced in the finals and Cup Match. This strategy led to a 5-0 victory and the America’s Cup becoming “New Zealand’s Cup”.

However, Emirates Team New Zealand 2017 may not have this luxury if they are in a fight to get through the semi-finals and finals of the challenger series.

Oracle will want other challengers to be competitive enough to force Team New Zealand’s hand and reveal all their cards as early as possible.

Hence the power Oracle has in terms of their partnership with Team Japan.

Oracle can continue to use them as a surrogate (remember their boats are identical) gaining both hard data and just as importantly Dean Barker’s wisdom and intuition.

Rudders also present an opportunity for development and change. There is no limit on the number, and the aim is to lower drag as much possible while maintaining steerage control.

Rudders also provide pitch control, via small downward angled wing foils (“winglets”) on the bottom.

Thus, while the yachts fly on their main foils, the rudder winglets provide some lift.

The teams are able to control the rudder rake fore and aft, enabling them to lift the stern and drop the bow or vice-versa.

What is interesting with these AC50s is that the rules allow teams to use rudder rakes independently on each hull.

Remember, these catamarans have two rudders in the water and so they can adjust to have the rudder on one hull providing lift and pushing the bow down while the other one provides the opposite.

This is why you see the AC50s flying with the orientation of the bow down and windward hull down – thus the entire yacht is canted to windward.

Team NZ certainly think this mode is fast and we see them adopting this “mode” quite frequently.

To a normal sailor’s eye this looks strange, but the aerodynamic advantage is significant. (Apologies for getting a little technical with this explanation!)

Bottom line: There is still a long way to go in this regatta, and there are wheels within wheels and games being played on and off the water.

This is the America’s Cup – would you expect anything less?

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): What affects you directly will affect others indirectly. We’re all tied together, whether or not we want to be. Our wants do not change the way things are.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): If you can’t seem to muster up a positive attitude or visualise the ideal outcome, don’t worry. Today you’ll be much better off just being yourself and approaching things in your usual down-to-earth way.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): For reasons lost in the mist of time, you still manage the logistical details of your work with some degree of redundancy.

You’re either not using or not trusting new technology. Remedy this today.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You want to make gains but are afraid to risk and possibly lose the gains you’ve already made. To minimise loss and avoid danger is a legitimate aim. Don’t let daring people persuade you otherwise.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s no need to fight over who is right. You’re both right; you just have different styles. As long as you stay focused on the aim and are respectful in the way you disagree with one another, this team can win.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You will definitely need some confidence to get through the next challenge, but not a swaggering “I am the greatest” kind of confidence. Rather, you’ll simply need the “I believe I can” type.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ve such an engaging personality that you’ve gotten by on charm instead of skills. Today you’ll be given (or create for yourself) the opportunity to circle back and pick up those skills you missed.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It will be pretty easy to get going on today’s mission. You have something to prove and a strong reason for demonstrating that to others and finally receiving the validation you deserve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The Easterners say that separateness is an illusion, while the Westerners say we should each make the most of ourselves. What’s the balance?

Amazingly, you’ll strike it today.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Be ready with plan B. The stronger your fallback plan is, the likelier it is your first choice will succeed. The law of detachment applies, but don’t think too deeply.

Just know that it’s good to be prepared.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): What you care about is getting better. Because you’re so focused on improving, you will. Just keep in mind that progress isn’t always readily apparent, but as long as you’re learning, you’re also growing.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): In order to stay motivated today, you need to know you’re progressing quickly toward your aim. Break the goal down to smaller sub-goals you can reward and celebrate along the way.

Wenger signs new deal Arsene Wenger has signed a new two-year contract to remain as Arsenal manager. Speculation over the Frenchman’s future has been rife in recent months but, despite a backdrop of supporter unrest, he has committed to the FA Cup winners with a fresh deal that will extend his reign to almost 23 years.

Wenger, 67, had come in for criticism after a run of seven defeats in 12 games. The Gunners dropped out of the English Premier League title race and suffered humiliation in the Champions League as they were thrashed 10-2 on aggregate by Bayern Munich.

‘Unity in diversity’

BY MEGAN GNAD AND LINDA CLARKE About 700 athletes and their supporters are expected to descend on Ashburton this weekend for the South Island Filipino Games.

The Filipino Dairy Workers in New Zealand Inc. (FDWNZ) is holding its annual games on Saturday and Sunday at various locations around town.

This year, events included on the line-up are; basketball (seniors and under 23), volleyball, badminton, table tennis, lawn tennis, billiards, darts and chess.

Co-ordinator Earl Magtibay said Filipinos from different walk of life will be coming from the districts of Nelson, Hurunui, Christchurch, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, Invercargill and Balclutha.

“We are very pleased to be the host of the tournament this year, which is also the group’s 10th year anniversary as an incorporated society,” he said.

“It is an opportunity to meet other Filipinos from other plac-

es in the South Island, and show the hospitality and friendliness and the community we have in Ashburton.”

Events will be held at different locations over the weekend, including lawn tennis at Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre, basketball at the BBMC Stadium, volleyball at Ashburton College, billiards and darts at the RSA Ashburton, plus plenty more – including the opening ceremony – at the EA Networks Centre.

Magtibay said judging on the success of previous tournaments, they’re expecting about 700 visitors.

It is the first time Ashburton has hosted the event, with Magtibay saying it wasn’t until the building of the EA Networks Centre that he was sure the town was ready.

“Since 2008, The South Island Games has brought together Filipino groups from different districts of the South Island to strengthen bonds within our respective communities, celebrate our love for sports and through

Wynne chasing Phar Lap winners P23

it, find unity in diversity,” he said.

“The highlight is always the basketball games, but there’s no major events. All sports will be dealt with equally.”

Ashburton College year 12 student Marc Juntilla will be lacing up his boots to play for a Mid Canterbury team in an under 23 basketball tournament that is part of the Filipino games this weekend.

The point guard has been fitting training for the games around his weekly commitments with the college’s senior boys’ basketball team, which plays in the Canterbury Basketball Association’s Thompson Trophy league on a Tuesday night and their men’s under 20 competition on Saturdays.

The college side also trains two nights a week, so Juntilla has had to make the most of other time after school to run through plays with his Filipino teammates for this weekend.

He is looking forward to taking the court and making it rain

from the three-point line.The official 10th anniversary will be held in September to recognise the actual date the society incorporated.

Ons Jabeur’s dream French Open debut has continued as the 22-yearold Tunisian beat sixth seed Dominika Cibulkova in straight sets to reach the third round of a grand slam for the first time in her career. Jabeur, who is ranked No.114, won 6-4 6-3, sealing the victory on her third match point when Cibulkova double-faulted.

She struggled to hold back the tears and ran over to her team to grab a Tunisian flag which she held over her head.

Feeling sorry for Tiger Greg Norman has joined a chorus of Australian golfers offering their support to embattled former world No.1 Tiger Woods. Speaking at the US PGA Tour’s Memorial Tournament in Ohio, 62-year-old Norman believes golf’s current crop of stars would have shared in a “collective sigh” after 14-time major winner Woods’ DUI arrest on Monday. The 41-yearold Woods was found by Jupiter police asleep in his car at 3am and was arrested for driving under the influence and illegally parking.
