Terminally Busy day for ill ‘should brigades have choice’ By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Cancer sufferer Sarah Bartlett is among Mid Cantabrians coming out in support of the End of Life Choice Bill as debate about the topic intensifies around the country. MPs will vote on the contentious End of Life Choice Bill later this month and a number of elected members have begun sharing their decision publicly drawing further opinion. And for Bartlett, the chance to have a decision in the right circumstances is something she can only wish for. “Having dealt with a brain tumour, and now with breast cancer, and after watching my mother die due to breast cancer, I cannot wish for anything other than a dignified and comfortable-as-possible death for myself and others,” the Ashburton mum said. She said while the ideal was for everyone to grow old and pass peacefully, having received “the amazing gift of grey hair and wrinkles”, the chances of that happening for herself were not huge. “So, when or if the time comes, that this beast called cancer becomes too much, I would like the choice to go on my terms, with peace and dignity for myself and my family.” Bartlett believed it was important to emphasise the word “choice”, as not all
terminally ill people would want to access assisted dying. “People have their faith and other beliefs, and that is enough for them, there is nothing wrong with that or with others choosing assisted dying,” she said. Former nurse Cathie Withington has also come out in support of the bill. “I would want significant safeguards, but I can see the point,” Withington said. She said for most in hospitals or care homes the phrase “life is sweet” fitted, in that they had the capability of finding things sweet enough in their life for them to want to continue. However, for some this was not applicable, and she had once nursed a younger woman who had motor neurone disease. “That was the thing that really got me. She was still completely conscious, alert and aware, but her body was just shutting down around her. In the end it got to her breathing becoming paralysed as well.” It was in those type of situations that Withington could see the benefits of terminally ill having access to assisted dying. Withington wanted to see further public discussion, particularly around the topic of the ways and means of assisted dying.

Emergency services kept on their toes By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
Emergency services were kept busy on Thursday with a variety of calls to all corners of the district. A person had to be transported to Ashburton Hospital in a moderate condition after a crash between a bus and car on Thompsons Track. The crash was reported to police at around 8am. St John spokesman Gerard Campbell confirmed two ambulances attended the crash but only one person required treatment and was transported to Ashburton Hospital. Methven Fire Brigade chief Brent Anderson said they were called to the scene, but were mainly tasked with traffic management. Emergency services were called out again later in the day after a single vehicle rolled at the corner of Maronan Valetta Road and Tanks Road at 11.55am. St John treated a female at the scene for minor injuries and she
did not require transport to hospital. The Ashburton Fire Brigade were also in action and were called to Life Pharmacy on East Street at around 10.20am following an alarm activation. Station officer Charlie Kelland said they were unable to find anything that would have caused the alarm to activate. Traffic was disrupted for around 10 minutes around 10.20am on East Street as firefighters inspected the building before declaring it a false alarm. The Pendarves Volunteer Rural Fire Force were also called into action. The unit was called out at 10.52am to an excavator that had caught fire. Chief officer Paul Stewart said the operator of the excavator had managed to extinguish most of the fire by the time they arrived, and that it was a simple task of dampening things down once they arrived, and that they were not there for too long.

Locals support End of Life Bill By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon
Mid Cantabrians mostly support terminally ill people having access to assisted dying, as long as there is legislation to protect the vulnerable. Debate on the topic is heating up as MPs prepare for a second reading of the End of Life Choice Bill, before they will vote on it later this month. Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon announced this week that after careful thought and consultation he had decided he would vote in favour. “It was not an easy decision to make, and I’m conscious that some in our community will disagree,” he said. Falloon was one of 21 National MPs to support the Bill at first
reading in 2017 to allow it to go to select committee. He has since held two public meetings in Ashburton and Timaru, responded to almost 5000 pieces of correspondence, and over the Christmas period read through about 7000 of the written submissions that were made to Parliament’s Select Committee. He said many he had talked to in this process had shared heart-breaking stories of seeing close friends or family suffer in their final stages of life. “They’ve rightly made the point that should the bill become law, access to euthanasia would be available only to those in grave suffering,” Falloon said. He said he was also aware that some with degenerative illnesses take their lives while they’re still
able to and without implicating others. “This bill will mean they can enjoy many more years of life, knowing that the decision is still open to them even if they’ve physically lost the ability to carry it out themselves.” Falloon was pleased the bill’s author David Seymour had agreed to changes he had suggested including amending the eligibility criteria to terminal illness, and having a binding referendum. Fellow National MP, Amy Adams in Selwyn, is also supporting the bill, only for those with terminal illnesses. “While I would like to see a form of euthanasia being available for the terminally ill, I am seriously concerned about how a legal framework could be created with
appropriate safeguards to ensure the law cannot be misused and the vulnerable are protected,” she said. Meanwhile Labour List MP based in Rangitata Jo Luxton has not yet made up her mind on whether to support the bill as she reads through the large volume of information on the topic. “It’s such a huge decision to make,” she said. Of 39 members of the public who commented on a Guardian Facebook post by 3pm yesterday, only two came out strongly opposing the bill. The remainder were in support, although some cautious and detailing the need for protections such as only being done on “case by case basis” and “with proper criteria and safeguards”.

■■METHVEN LANDSAR
Award for local LandSAR group By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
The skill and abilities of the Methven LandSAR team was recognised in Wellington this week. The team, along with the Otago Rescue Helicopter and the South Canterbury Police SAR Squad were presented with the New Zealand Search and Rescue certificate of achievement for operational activity. “It was a real honour to be able to go to Wellington and receive the award from the minister (Phil Twyford),” Russell Currie, who received the award on behalf of the Methven LandSAR squad said. “There is a lot of work that goes in so it is great to be recognised.” The certificate was awarded after a rescue of a woman on Little Mount Peel after she had slipped and broken her ankle 1100m up the track. Deteriorating weather conditions meant the rescue helicopter was only able to fly a single paramedic close to the patient who stabilised the patient ahead of a long stretcher trip down the mountain. The rescue totalled 11 hours, with the patient stretchered out around midnight.
The conditions were cold, and the risk of hypothermia was described as high. “Those long stretcher carries are something we have only had to do three or four times in the last six years,” he said. “They are quite physically demanding and difficult and take a considerable amount of time. “Usually if there is good weather they can just be helicoptered out so it is generally only when the weather turns foul.” Currie said in this case it was likely nothing could have been done to change what happened. “They were just out tramping and all it took was a slight slip and she broke her ankle,” he said. “Yes the weather conditions did deteriorate but they had planned to be out by that time so there was nothing else they could have done.” Currie said while it was important to remember the common safety messages around tramping, he believes that nobody should ever be put off venturing in to the great outdoors. “It is great to see people out there and the numbers of rescue we do aren’t that big for the number of people that do go out.”

Skiers unfazed by predictions for a warm winter By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Skiers and snowboarders are preparing for a good ski season at Mt Hutt this winter, despite a forecast for a warm winter. In its Seasonal Climate Outlook through to July, NIWA is predicting temperatures are most likely to be above average, with an equal chance of precipitation levels being below normal or normal, in Canterbury. “I would say in general it’s not particularly promising,” said principal scientist Brett Mullan of the likelihood of a cold ski sea-

er than average temperature pattern for the north and east of the North Island and the east of the South Island. The pattern is caused by a variety of factors including continuation of a weak central Pacific El Nino and warmer than average sea temperatures. “They are cooling, but they are still remaining above the average for this time of year,” Mullan said of sea temperatures.

son with bountiful snowfall. NIWA is forecasting air pressure to be higher than normal to the west and north of New Zealand and below normal to the south of the country, resulting in more westerly quarter winds than normal. However, Mullan said the three-month outlook was an overall pattern and did not rule out southerly storms bringing significant snowfalls. “And it doesn’t mean you can’t get one month within the three that is cold,” he added. NIWA is forecasting the warm-

through “thick and fast” from New Zealand and overseas. “A little bit of snow still excites people,” she said. And last year had been a case in point, with it being a lean snow year but a top season in terms of customer experience and skier numbers. This was due to state-of-theart snowmaking facilities topping up the regular snowfall, and snowmaking was being improved even further this year. Mt Hutt Ski Area manager James McKenzie said he did not read too much into long-range
forecasts, as history told him that predictions of either a warm or cold winter did not end up having much bearing on snowfall. And while El Nino could see more nor’westers, these were generally followed up with a southerly bringing snow. So far there had been high snowfall this year, with one metre having fallen since February, and snow on the mountain now keeping things cool. The snowmaking crew began work yesterday and would begin making snow in about two weeks’ time, leading up to opening on June 7.

■■ CHINESE VILLAGE
Village waiting for restoration By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
In just four months Ashburton’s Chinese settlement could join a very small group of historic spots recognised by Heritage New Zealand as a post-1900 archaeological site. An application will be filed this month for its declaration as one of eight sites in this group and that declaration is likely to be made by August. This status recognises the historic value of the site’s heritage, planning consultant Arlene Baird said, and it also opens up a range of funding opportunities. On Wednesday she provided the Ashburton District Council’s Chinese village working group with an update on the restoration project and said that work on stage one was now completed. This saw several buildings deconstructed and others stablised and made watertight while they await reconstruction. Some applications for funding future work had been made and others would be made over coming months, Baird said.
Over the past few months a large number of items had been salvaged from the site and these had been bagged, labelled and were now being cleaned, analysed and recorded by Underground Overground Archaeology, she said. “We’ve been incredibly lucky that they’ve provided us with pro bono work on this because we could never have afforded to pay for work like this. They do one pro bono job a year and they jumped at it.” Moving forward, work would be undertaken to lower ground around the remaining buildings to improve air flow, an access path would be gravelled and ways to flatten some of the open space area were being investigated, she said. An open day is likely to be held over the coming months so the community can see the work that has been done and to have an opportunity to ask questions. Information boards are also being prepared for the site. This will provide a brief history of the Chinese settlement and the families who called it home.
Ashburton’s Chinese settlement is awaiting further restoration.

Ashburton’s housing market remained stable in April with the average current value of properties changed over the past year moving less than 1 per cent. The current average value is sitting at $345,565, making it one of the more affordable places in the South Island – apart from the West Coast and Southland – to buy a home. House values in Ashburton reflect the central South Island trend towards zero movement, but from Waitaki south, values have risen significantly over the past year with Dunedin leading the way on 13 per cent growth, followed by Southland and Invercargill on 11 per cent. Queenstown Lakes, where prices now average $1.194 million, is still seeing house prices rise, 3.3 per cent over the past year. The cheapest place in New Zealand to buy a home remains Buller at $188,472 and the most expensive Auckland city east, $1.534 million. There are now 10 are-
as in New Zealand where the average value tops $1 million, with nine of those in the Auckland area. New Zealand’s annual rate of value growth dropped from 7.6 per cent in April last year to 2.7 per cent last month. The key market of Auckland continues to see a reduction in value levels, down 1.5 per cent year-on-year across the region. QV General Manager David Nagel said that while the rate of national value growth continued to slow year-on-year, the more affordable regions continued to attract plenty of buyer demand, resulting in solid value growth. Dunedin continues to lead all other main centres in quarterly value growth, up 4.9 per cent and in a continuation of recent trends for Christchurch City, value growth remaining modest. Values are slightly up year-on-year and slightly increased by 0.1 per cent over the past three months. The average value in the city is now $498,105, Nagel said.

■■PIKE RIVER
In brief
Safety fears delay re-entry NZME Families of the 29 men who died in the Pike River mine are disappointed by an eleventh-hour delay to today’s re-entry operation but accept safety must come first. Expert miners were due to enter the West Coast mine this morning in a long-awaited bid to try to recover the 29 men killed during the November 19, 2010 disaster. The Pike River Recovery Agency (PRRA) has been working for months to purge methane and oxygen from the mine by pumping in nitrogen before they head underground. But on Wednesday, they got an “unknown reading of oxygen” from a borehole 2.3km into the mine’s drift, where the roof collapsed in the 2010 explosions. The oxygen had the potential for a “spontaneous combustion event”. Pike River Recovery Minister Andrew Little made the shock announcement yesterday. “Yesterday (Wednesday), unexpected and unexplained readings were reported by the atmospheric monitoring systems in the Pike River mine, leading to re-entry operations being suspended,” he said. Tactical action response plans meant they had to immediately shut down operations and find out the cause of the oxygen leak
Car crash claims life One person has died after a car rolled in a serious crash south of Auckland. The crash took place on Buckland Road in Tuakau, near Tuakau College, at about 4.30pm yesterday, a police spokeswoman said. One person had died as a result of the crash, police said. There were no reports of injuries to any other people. Ambulance crews and police serious crash investigators had been called to the scene. The Serious Crash Unit had been advised. - NZME

The delay could last days, even weeks, but PRRA bosses say they will “definitely” still go into the mine. Anna Osborne, chairwoman for the Pike River Family Reference Group and whose husband Milton died in the tragedy, said the families would be disap-
pointed. She is “slightly” disappointed too, but was glad that the agency was putting the health and safety of the men going back into the mine first. It’s not a showstopper, she said, and once the issues are investigated, “it will be back on”. Pike River Recovery Agency
chief operating officer Dinghy Pattinson denied it was a tough call to delay the re-entry, because they have also stressed a safety first attitude. “It was an easy decision to make,” said Pattinson, who was due to lead a three-man team of miners back into the mine today.
Justice Joseph Victor Williams has become the first Māori judge of the Supreme Court. Justice Williams, of Ngāti Pūkenga and Te Arawa (Waitaha, Tapuika), replaces current Supreme Court judge Justice Sir William Young, who is chairing the Royal Commission of Inquiry Christchurch mosque attacks. In 1988, Justice Williams established the first unit specialising in Māori issues in a major New Zealand law firm at Kensington Swan. He became a partner there in 1992, before leaving in 1994 to co‑found Walters Williams & Co in Auckland and Wellington. In 1999 Justice Williams was appointed Chief Judge of the Māori Land Court. The following year, he was appointed acting Chairperson of the Waitangi Tribunal and was permanently appointed in 2004. He was appointed as a judge of the High Court in 2008 and a judge of the Court of Appeal in 2018. - NZME
City Rail blowout
Deadly crash’s sole survivor leaves hospital
Auckland councillors have agreed to pump an extra $500 million into the City Rail Link project. It comes after bean counters revealed earlier this month that the transport project’s budget had blown out by an extra $1 billion to a total cost of $4.419b. With Auckland Council and central Government having earlier agreed to fund the project 50/50, city councillors yesterday formally voted to pick up council’s share of the extra costs. Mayor Phil Goff said $700 million had already been spent on City Rail Link – which aims to double the capacity of trains in Auckland’s inner city by building 3.4km of underground railway – and it was critical to now complete the project. “Without the CRL, Auckland will hit gridlock and the city will grind to a halt,” he said. - NZME

The sole survivor of Sunday’s highway tragedy northwest of Taupo has been discharged from hospital in time to join the tangihanga for his parents and five siblings at a Hawke’s Bay marae. David Poutawa, 9, was discharged from Hawke’s Bay Hospital in Hastings on Wednesday, Hawke’s Bay District Health Board media staff said. His discharge came a few hours ahead of the overnight return of the remains of his parents David Poutawa, 42, and Margaret Luke, 35, which arrived early yesterday morning at Timikara Marae, Moteo, along with those of his siblings Trinity, 13, Chanley, 11, Jahnero, 10, Akacia, 8, and Khuys, 7.

but it is not out of the ordinary for students to be community minded and put themselves out there.” Police searched the area and spoke to people at the school, but the man is yet to be found. A police spokesperson said thanks to information provided to them at the school, they had positive lines of inquiry that could lead to an arrest.
The remains of the deceased arrived at Timikara about 1am in a fleet of vehicles, and those present respected whanau and marae requests that mobile phones and cameras not be used during the homecoming. Hundreds are expected to be hosted at Timikara and the nearby Moteo and Wharerangi marae as the family prepares for the final service at Timikara on Saturday, starting at 11am, followed by burial at the local urupa. A Givealittle page established by Simplicity Bereavement Services to support the family had over $13,000 committed by midday yesterday. Police continue a crash investigation, having earlier this week said there were no known direct witnesses.
The man accused of the Christchurch mosque shootings was known within the Australian white nationalist community for three years, the leader of one group says. The leader of the group has made veiled threats of violence and claimed he tried to recruit the man allegedly behind the mosque attacks on March 15. Lads Society president Tom Sewell approached the accused in 2017. Sewell said that via an online community he asked the accused to join a project to help create a “parallel society” that compromised exclusively of white people. Sewell said that people within his scene had known about the accused gunman for at least three years. - NZME

Tear gas on May Day AP Clusters of anarchists and yellow vest protesters disrupted a May Day march in Paris by setting fires and antagonising riot police squads at the beginning and end, punctuating the route walked peacefully by thousands of people with bursts of tear gas. Officers fired flash grenades and rubber balls along with the tear gas as troublemakers wearing black masks and hoods confronted them in the street and pelted them with stones and other objects. The confrontations broke out near the start of the main labour march near Montparnasse train station and resumed when police tried to disperse stragglers at the finish, near the Place d’Italie in southeast Paris. The French Interior Ministry said 24 protesters and 14 police officers were injured. A private company hired by a group of French news outlets, Occurrence, counted 40,000 protesters in Paris, while the CGT union said there were 80,000 participants. More than 7400 police officers from across France were deployed in Paris because of the May Day events. The Paris police department said there were 330 arrests. Officers also performed more than 15,300 “preventive searches” of bags. The streets of the French capital calmed down as marchers slowly left the area amid a still-heavy presence of police. French authorities had warned radical activists might disrupt the Paris demonstration as in previous yellow vest protests and on May Day during the last two years. Associated Press reporters saw groups of the masked and hooded protesters caus-

The first trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale’s third season has been released, revealing June’s efforts to spark a revolution in the oppressive nation of Gilead. After last season’s cliffhanger, in which June (Elisabeth Moss) decided to stay in Gilead to search for her daughter, the new trailer shows her recruiting allies – including Serena, Wife of Commander Fred, who appears to be switching loyalties. Despite her role in June’s enslavement, Serena began to question Gilead’s rules last season after she was violently punished by Fred, eventually helping June escape with her child.

Pesticide spread near homeless community AP An Alaska businessman who acknowledged spreading a pesticide on a public right of way used by homeless people has been convicted of reckless endangerment and polluting. Ron Alleva, 67, president of Grubstake Auction Co. in Anchorage, also was convicted of unauthorised pesticide distribution and misuse of a pesticide, state prosecutors said. Alleva formerly owned property across the street from a homeless shelter, the Brother Francis Shelter, and a soup kitchen, Bean’s Cafe. The pesticide was strewn less than a block away. Alleva has been a high-pro-
file critic of the city’s homeless policy. He said people attracted by the shelter and soup kitchen used drugs, defaced his property and stole from him, according to news reports. Anchorage police and state environmental officials investigated on June 7 when a white substance was found where homeless people gather around the corner from the shelter. Assistant attorney general Carole Holley, who prosecuted the case, said volunteers that day had picked up trash in the right of way. Grubstake Auction Co. employees assisted and then were recorded on video spreading the white
substance, Holley said. Investigators determined the powder was Zappit 73, a product advertised as a pool cleaner. The powder is a registered pesticide and designated as hazardous by the Environmental Protection Agency. Exposure puts people at risk of serious physical injury, including blindness, Holley said. “It’s really strong stuff,” she said. Homeless people could have been especially vulnerable if they did not have the opportunity to bathe or suffered from mental illness, Holley said. “It could be that people become sick, and they don’t know what caused it,” she said.
Holley argued to the jury that Alleva had acted out of hostility toward the homeless, she said. Immediately after the chemical was spread, Alleva told the Anchorage Daily News that he considered it to be a disinfectant. He described his action as a public service meant to mitigate a public hazard of human faeces, vomit and old food that people had left. Alleva faces a maximum of a year in jail and a $25,000 fine on each misdemeanour count, Holley said. The three environmental misdemeanours could be consolidated for sentencing, Holley said.

The Bill that’s dividing a nation D
avid Seymour’s End of Life Choice Bill has seemingly divided a nation but as things begin to intensify within the government cauldron, more and more are stepping forward and either lending their support or publicly declaring their opposition to it. And it’s creating an interesting environment with people from all walks of life and ages seemingly invested in what’s been said and discussed at a political level. And it’s being done with more intensity than most other discussions of a similar nature. In that respect, it’s a difficult decision for anyone to make, even internally.
But to have to go public on such a matter and declare your standing on one side of the fence or the other is a big move – and opens you up to a world of potential criticism from opposing individuals. So, there’s nothing but respect for politicians, like our own Andrew Falloon, who have stepped into the public sphere and stated their case and explained how they have reached that decision.
What it would pay to remember though when gauging your own opinion on the subject is that the decision of an elected person is in almost all cases a reflection of the general feel of their turf. If a local councillor makes a decision, it should always be made with the thought process that it is what the wider community would want – and not for purely personal reasons and the same with politicians. Their decisions on what way to vote, and in which corner to stand should always be done with the best intentions, or wider opinion, of their electorate – although, sadly it isn’t always the case, particularly higher up the food chain.
This particular debate, on the End of Life Bill, is an intense one. There’s so much public opinion on the matter and this newspaper isn’t about to engage in the debate of what is right and wrong, that’s an argument better held with oneself than in the public sphere. It could be guaranteed that in an office of 30 people, you’d likely come up with 30 different opinions on the subject as to its practicability and moral standing. But it’s great that we are able to have these discussions and that we live in a society which allows it to be so robustly debated with everyone gaining a significant amount of information in which to form their own
opinion. Instead we could have a society in which we simply bow down to greater knowledge and have decisions like this inflicted upon us whether we like it or not. But we’re lucky in that sense, because it’s not how things work – most of the time. If you’ve got access to social media, it’s highly suggested you jump onto the Facebook page of Andrew Falloon and have a read at the varying opinions and arguments being shared in relation to the subject. It makes for some quite remarkable reading with so much strength in some of the comments being shared that it almost leaves you compelled to share your own thoughts.

hree days of leave resulted in 10 days off for me over Easter. For once I took my own advice, advice I shared on social media, late last year, that with the way Easter and Anzac Day fell this year, you could do just that. Take three days of leave and end up with 10 days away from work. One of my colleagues in Dunedin pointed it out to me and it ended up on radio websites up and down the country. My boss in Auckland commented when sending out the rosters for the Easter period that it seemed half of our company was doing the same as I. It was a super break away. So what exactly did I do with my holiday? BUGGER ALL. An overseas holiday packed full of sightseeing and travelling here and there is great but there’s something to be said for chillaxing. I had a sleep-in every second morning (8am is a sleep-in for me). The other mornings I got up with Bowie the puppy, who is

He seems to think that 5.30am is an awesome time to break his fastest time for the ‘round the kitchen bar, under the dining table, charge into the lounge, dive and slide under the couch, crab-crawl the length of the couch and bark at the cat’ circuit. His sleeping is getting better each week; two weeks ago he was keen to start his morning circuit training at 4.30am. This week he has added half an hour to his sleeping time and is ready for action at 6am. Two-and-a-half-year-old Maddison has a love/hate relationship with Bowie. Happily it’s a 95 per cent love and 5 per cent hate ratio. On occasions Maddy has

Thirty seconds of tears and then they are besties again with Maddy giving as good as she gets. I think we need to invest in a faux fur pillow for her, then maybe she’ll stop lying on top of the pooch. I doubt it though. On Monday, Maddy was lying on the couch, with her head hanging over the edge, poking it in and out much like a cuckoo clock, directly above Bowie. He saw this as an invitation to a new game Lick the Cuckoo. Like his circuit training, he gave the new game 100 per cent and he loved it, but not nearly as much as the cuckoo.

What is Rotary? Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million men and women who work together to service their communities, locally and globally. Rotary International’s charitable arm is the Rotary Foundation. The foundation supports work in six areas of focus - promoting peace; fighting disease; providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; saving mothers and children; supporting education; growing local economies. Rotarians are actively working to eradicate polio worldwide. From 350,000 cases of polio annually in 1985, there were just 27 in 2018 in two countries. Rotary has funded $US1.8b for the programme. Rotarians also support a range of projects and causes in their own communities. They meet regularly, often to have a meal together, plan projects and enjoy each other’s company. Rotary was formed in 1905 in Chicago and next year will celebrate its centenary in New Zealand and Australia.

Rotary International has two clubs in the Ashburton District – Ashburton and Ashburton Plains. The Rotary Club of Ashburton has held the town’s annual Bookarama for 40 years. The project has grown into a major one-week extravaganza for second-hand book lovers. Over the years the project has generated around $1 million for the club to put back into supporting community projects, organisations and individuals. The Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains run a variety of projects but are possibly most visible in Ashburton in the lead up to Christmas when members sell the new potatoes the club grows. A Classic, Vintage and Veteran Car Run is also organised annually by the club during Ashburton’s Wheels Week. The run is now in its 27th year, and like the potato sales, generates funds to be spent in the community.
Both clubs support young people in a number of ways including assisting them to attend Outward Bound, the National Rotary Science Fair, Rotary Youth Exchange, the Rotary Youth Leadership Award programme, academic excellence awards, annual Pride of Workmanship Awards, the Young Totara Award and scholarships through the Advance Ashburton Charitable Foundation. The clubs have also supported, jointly and separately, a number of community projects around Ashburton including the EA Networks Centre and the Ashburton Museum. The Rotary Club of Ashburton meets each Tuesday, 5.30pm, at the Ashburton RSA. Enquiries to 308 9997. The Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains meets each Wednesday at 6.00pm at the Ashburton MSA.

■■JETSTAR LANDING SCARE
Report finds approach too low By Grant Bradley NZME
A Jetstar A320 with 134 people on board flew below a minimum safe altitude on approach to Christchurch, an accident investigation has found. Although the plane landed safely it was found the crew did not maintain “adequate situational awareness” of the plane’s location in relation to the standard arrival path, the Transport Accident Investigation Commission found. Jetstar’s procedures have been identified as inappropriate. “The operator’s procedures did not encourage the appropriate use of the aeroplane’s automated navigation systems,” the report says. Pilots elected to use an “open descent” procedure rather than the available, fully automated “managed descent” mode. By not setting the flight control unit to the next altitude restriction, a higher level of human intervention was required to keep the aeroplane within permissible limits on the arrival route.
An air traffic controller didn’t follow procedures either. “An air traffic controller observed the aeroplane’s descent below the minimum safe altitude, but did not follow the required procedures and alert the flight crew until the aeroplane had landed,” TAIC says. During the incident on August

bus aircraft for Jetstar since 2005 and had about 8000 flying hours on the A320. “There is nothing wrong with following such an arrival procedure using the open descent mode. However, the aircraft automation in managed descent mode provides an important defence against aircraft descending below minima,” the report says. In open descent mode the plane is still flown by the autopilot, but the pilots manually control the vertical (altitude) component of the flight path. This means the pilot is required to ensure that the aircraft complies with the altitude restrictions for the standard arrival route, while the autopilot ensures that it follows the pre-programmed lateral navigation. Comment has been sought from Jetstar and Airways, which operates the air traffic control system. The TAIC report found that following a similar incident in 2012 involving a Jetstar plane, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau identified “mode awareness” as a central issue.

he local NZX 50 rose 1.7 per cent for the month of April, extending gains for a fourth straight month and taking its yearto-date increase to 13.1 per cent. The index bounced between losses and gains this week as it hovers around the 10,000 level. The a2 Milk Company started the week at an all-time high of $16.77 and by far remains the biggest company on the NZX. However the market darling fell from its highs after reporting a 42 per cent rise in revenue in the nine months through March, making no material change to its FY19 and FY20 outlook. Still, the milk marketer remains the best performer in the index this year, with shares up 44.6 per cent year-to-date. Shares in SkyCity dropped 4.9 per cent after the casino operator lowered its annual guidance on weaker than expected trading. Sky TV closed Wednesday at a new record low of $1.21. ANZ jumped 3.3 per cent after reporting a 2 per cent increase in net profit which was comfortably ahead of market expectations. Management said that despite economic uncertainty – low unemployment, interest rates and China are likely to be key drivers to global growth for the years ahead, and New Zealand remains in a good position to prosper. EBOS Group resumed trading on Wednesday after its shares were placed in a trading halt to complete its $175m capital raise.

general corporate purposes as they arise. Outside of the benchmark index, NZ King Salmon tumbled 17.5 per cent to $2.45 on Wednesday after warning that warm water had increased its fish mortality rate. This will cause its harvest to be smaller than expected for the next two seasons. In economic news, Stats NZ said the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 4.2 per cent in the March 2019 quarter, down from 4.3 per cent in the December 2018 quarter. The fall in the unemployment rate reflected a rise in the working-age population. Meanwhile, jobs growth was negative in the first quarter and wages growth missed expectations, boosting expectations for a rate cut when the RBNZ meets on May 8. Meanwhile New Zealand firms remain pessimistic about the general economic outlook, with few seeing growth in their own activity and more than half expecting weaker earnings. A net 37.5 per cent of the 353 respondents to the ANZ Business Outlook expect the economy will slow over the coming year, in line with the 38 per cent reading in March. There was a small improvement in expectations for the firm’s own activity with a net 7.1 per cent anticipating an improve-
ment, compared to 6.3 per cent a month earlier. Elsewhere, US markets closed lower on Wednesday and the S&P 500 snapped a three-day streak of record high closes after comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell appeared to dampen hopes that the US central bank could move later this year to cut interest rates. The Fed left interest rates unchanged and reiterated it will stay patient with rates amid a mixed economic backdrop. The global reporting season ramped up this week with more than 150 S&P 500 companies reporting earnings. At the half way point in the earnings season, the results have been better than expected. Some 76 per cent of S&P 500 companies have reported earnings above estimates, while 56 per cent have exceeded sales forecasts. One of the key results was Apple. The company’s share price jumped 5 per cent after reporting a stronger than expected second quarter result. Sales were comfortably ahead of expectations driven by strong iPad and Apple Watch sales. Management’s guidance also indicates that Apple may be through the worst of the recent iPhone slump in China. The news pushed the company’s market cap through the $US1 trillion for the second time since first hitting the milestone in September 2018. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners.

Ten design trends
for 2019
By Megan McDonough Washington Post
The home remodelling and design platform Houzz recently released its annual forecast, derived from conversations with industry experts as well as trends spotted among its 40 million monthly users. It offers a snapshot of what we might see in stores, living rooms and Instagram feeds this year. We chatted with Houzz editor and writer Mitchell Parker and asked him to dig into this year’s projections. So before you pick up that paintbrush, take a look at the colours and styles the pros say will be big in 2019. The backsplash as a focal point: In 2019, home design professionals expect to see more full-height backsplashes that seamlessly stretch from the counter to the ceiling – behind floating shelves and rangehoods – for a clean and cohesive look. This dramatic statement can create the illusion of additional surface area. Dark and moody colours throughout the home: Although Living Coral may be Pantone’s pick for colour of the year, Houzz predicts homeowners will lean toward darker and moodier colours, such as navy and forest green, in the
new year. Colour experts say it is a reaction to white and bright hues that dominated the design world for the past several years. Destination tubs: Bubble bath fans, rejoice. As bathrooms shift from private, utilitarian spaces to open, spa-like environments, homeowners are focused on the accoutrements, including free-standing tubs. ‘Tuxedo’ kitchens: Although white kitchens have long reigned supreme, professionals are seeing a return to black in kitchen cabinets, rangehoods and island accents. The colour can be edgy, chic and surprisingly practical for parents.
“If you’ve got a house with dogs and kids, scuff marks on white kitchen cabinets are going to be a big problem. Black paint hides a lot more,” Parker says. Expect to see a lot more “tuxedo” kitchens contrasting black with white walls, backsplashes and marble countertops. Glass-and-steel room dividers: Thanks to the popularity of open floor plans, statement-making partitions will continue to flourish in 2019. Thin metal-and-glass doors and walls offer the illusion of open space while still providing privacy, light and noise mitigation. Free-standing dining benches: Custom, built-in benching, while popular and convenient, can be expensive. Homeowners are instead opting for padded furniture benches as an affordable alternative. The multifunctional pieces are great for small breakfast nooks, providing flexible seating and in some cases hidden storage. Board-and-batten accents: The modern farmhouse style will continue to flourish in 2019 and spread to the exterior of the home, Houzz experts say. The white siding delivers a “homey
look” and can provide texture and interest to an otherwise flat facade. Kitchens that open to the outdoors: Fans of entertaining and cooking may want to consider expanding their kitchen area to the outdoors. Homeowners in warmer climates are transforming patios into extra seating areas, with durable rugs, cushions and fabrics. Wood vanities: Houzz experts saw a resurgence of unpainted wooden vanities in 2018, and they predict it will only be amplified in 2019, with a turn toward reclaimed and light wood. A four-wall accent colour: Forget the accent wall; 2019 is all about the accent room. Instead of a bold-coloured feature wall, homeowners are opting to paint all the walls – even the trim and moulding – in one room a dramatic and bold colour. Popular colour choices include navy and forest green.

By Linda Clarke
If you’re planning a new garden, or thinking about beautifying the patio, don’t be afraid to plant roses. Mid Canterbury rose lover Daphne Rissman has around 800 in her large country garden and she says they’re not difficult to grow and the resulting blooms are a gift from nature. Her biggest tip is to keep the water up to them and feed them well. Not all fertilisers are created equal, so choose wisely and remember that a little goes a long way. Daphne says this summer’s weather has been hard on her roses and the cold nights, heavy dews and hot daytime temperatures were ideal conditions for mildew. But she always manages to have a vase of freshly-cut flowers inside, the fragrances of the English varieties standing out. Daphne’s garden has grown over 20 years and it holds precious memories. She says the roses have become an addiction and quite possibly an obsession. She has no favourites though amongst the roses she has planted in complementary colour groupings. She says diseases are less likely if the

rose is healthy. Watering, at the base of the plant not from above, is key. Growing roses in a container can be tricky because they don’t like to be hot, so consider moving containers out of direct sunlight. “Keep the roots cool and the water on it,” is Daphne’s advice. Some roses are also more susceptible to black spot, especially if they get under stress because of a lack of water. Spray if you need to and seek advice

from the experts. Daphne belongs to the New Zealand Rose Society, a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the world’s most favourite flower. District rose societies, the South Canterbury Rose Society in this neck of the woods, hold meetings, organise rose shows and pruning demonstrations, publish newsletters and arrange garden visits.

Like a professor’s tweed blazer T his year, Hyundai has won its eighth Wards 10 Best Interiors trophy, this time for the all-new Santa Fe. The midsize SUV is loaded with standard driver-assistance technology, handsome materials, great utility, easy-tograb knobs and a fetching dark grey/light brown colour scheme, set off with orange contrast stitching. The all-new Santa Fe is top-of-the-range with ultimate trim, all-wheel drive, heated second-row seats, wireless device charging, second-row privacy shades and the kind of brushed-aluminium sillplates usually found in luxury cars twice the price. Fit-and-finish is impeccable, as the matte-finish wood-like trim carves a halfmoon along the passenger side of the instrument panel, then sweeps precisely into the upper part of the door, visually connecting the entire front row. Truly unique are the door-mounted mocha-brown speaker grilles, which have a raised, textured appearance, resembling pebbles in a stream. For another Santa Fe notable, just look up, the headliner is uniquely woven, blending grey and ivory threads like a professor’s tweed blazer. The new Santa Fe comes in either 2.4 petrol or 2.2 diesel with three variants (Entry, Elite and Limited). Prices range between $59,990 and $82,990 plus on-road costs. The Hyundai brand has won seven Wards 10 Best Interiors trophies over the past eight years, including one for the previous-generation Santa Fe in 2013.

iwi drag racers are on record breaking pace as they prepare for a major meeting at Sydney Dragway this weekend. Aucklanders Rod Harvey and Barry Plumpton could potentially line-up against each other – in their very different cars – at some point during this weekend’s Nitro Thunder meet. They are competing in the Pro Extreme class which is on the same programme as the penultimate round of Australia’s 400 Thunder Pro Series. Harvey has campaigned his six-cylinder turbocharged Toyotas on Australian tracks for the last decade while Plumpton only shipped his ‘68 Chevrolet Camaro doorslammer – powered by a 15.7-litre nitrous oxide boosted V8 – across the Tasman in recent weeks. And both have shown the Australian fans that Kiwis can fly with Harvey recent-
ly improving his own benchmark as the quickest Import racer in Australasia while Plumpton lowered the best elapsed time for any nitrous boosted car in Australia first time out at Sydney Dragway. Harvey debuted a new Toyota Camry with his turbocharged Toyota 2JZ six-cylinder engine almost a year ago. He raced the car twice in Orlando, Florida at the end of 2018 and returned to Australian competition at the end of March for the Sydney Jamboree. ‘‘At the test and tune before the Jamboree we basically rolled the car straight out of the container from Orlando and ran a 5.818secs personal best,’’ said Harvey. ‘‘I’m really keen to get back to Sydney this weekend because the track prep is killer at the moment,’’ he said.’’ ‘‘If I can put the first half of the 5.82 run together with the back half of the 5.81 test run then we should be really moving.’’

Options abounding
I
t doesn’t matter at all which new Tucson you are driving, whether its the $39,990 entry level model or the top of the range Limited, because they are all sharp lookers! As well they come with the option of a variety of engines, automatics and array of fittings, driver assist and safety systems to suit differing driver requirements, conditions and needs. The two front-wheel-drive models have a 2-litre petrol engine producing 121kW and 203Nm of torque. This is mated to a 6-speed auto. They are priced at $39,990 or $44,990 for the Elite as driven. The rest of the range come with a smart on-demand H-Trac all-wheel-drive system with differential lock, of which there’s three versions including Elite and Limiteds with both petrol or diesel power. The petrols come with a 1.6-litre turbo engine producing 136kW and 265Nm of torque and a 7-speed dual-clutch auto. They’re priced from $47,990 to $59,990. The 2-litre turbo diesel versions with 136kW and 400Nm have an 8-speed automatic, and cost from $51,990 to $63,990. Of this comprehensive range I have recently spent time with a 2-litre petrol Elite followed by the range-topping diesel Limited. It so happened that five of us were travelling from Auckland Airport to north of Whangarei by rental. This was arranged with Go Rentals (they were great to deal with) who by chance gave us a new 2-litre petrol Elite for the journey. So how did it work for five adults on tour? Firstly – while we were theoretically travelling ‘light’ there was still a fair amount of luggage, which fitted nicely into the luggage space (Hyundai says its 488 litres) via the smart tailgate and without needing to be piled above window level. As well it was reassuring to know that a full size spare wheel was sitting below. With the others deciding who was to be

first to experience sitting in the centre rear seat of the leather appointed cabin, I got set up behind the wheel. The redesigned instruments and centre consoles as part of Tucson’s facelift include the touchscreen for the infotainment system. This and everything else present a neat, nicely set out dash, both easy to identify with and use. Certainly deserving mention is the quality feel of the cabin, with its abundance of soft-touch materials on the dash and door trims. We in front had plenty of comfort, seat adjustability and space, without encroaching on the leg space of the rear occupants, who also had comfortable space for heads and arms. Those who took turns at sitting in the middle said it was comfortable enough and that the space taken up by the centre tunnel wasn’t too intrusive. While the 2-litre petrol Elite comes with heated seats front and rear, it does not get dedicated sat-nav (there’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) or smart cruise control. Both of the latter which would have been appreciated for our trip. In that respect the all-wheel-drive Elite and Limited models, as well as having smart cruise control also have additional driver assist/safety systems and other features. So how did the 2-litre four cylinder petrol engines 121kW of power and 203Nm of torque stack up? And was the load of five people and their gear noticeable or a challenge?
Well, noticeable really only when quick overtaking was desired, especially on the likes of up-hill passing lanes and general hill work, where the six-speed auto was quick to change down and the engine, which was nicely quiet at cruise, keen then to rather noisily deliver. Circumstances where the 400Nm torque (from 1750 to 2750rpm) of the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and its 8-speed auto that swaps gears early and often to keep the engine in its maximum torque band, would have been ideal. Through having to brim-fill the tank for the return to GO Rentals an accurate fuel use calculation was possible, which was just under Hyundai’s stated figure of 7.9L/100km – very impressive given the load carried and roads driven. Like most of the Hyundai range, the Tucson has been tuned for Anzac driving conditions. The result, even loaded up as we were, the ride comfort was excellent with Northland’s bumps, potholes and road imperfections hardly ever noticed. Well, except for the frequently driven, steep, deeply-rutted shingle access road to where we were staying, which would have also suited the H-Trac all-wheel-drive system very well. Handling-wise, I liked the well-weighted steering, and the Tucson showed itself to be suitably nimble through even tighter corners, with the expected, given the comfortable ride amounts of body lean. All models have standard safety equipment including six airbags (dual front, side and curtain), electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, and the usual electronic stability and traction control systems and 5-Star ANCAP ratings. But as mentioned, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, highbeam assist, and driver attention warning are currently reserved for the upper range models.

ot only will the Tesla Roadster be one of the fastest electric vehicles on the planet when it releases, but it could also have the longest range. We haven’t heard a lot about the insanely-fast Roadster since it was revealed around 18 months ago, but Tesla CEO Elon Musk broke that silence just last week – revealing the Roadster’s range. When a Twitter user asked if the Roadster’s range is “still going to be 998 km” Elon responded by saying that it is now going to be over that estimate. The CEO put the answer in reasonably plain terms – “Range will be above 1000km”. An extremely impressive range combined with incredible performance will make the EV an automotive wonder. When the car was first unveiled, it could shoot from 0-96km/h in just 1.9 seconds, and carry on to a whopping 162km/h in just 4.2 seconds. It can manage a standing quarter mile in 8.8 seconds, and the top speed exceeds 402km/h. With stats like this, hypercar manufacturers like Koenigsegg and Bugatti will have to watch their backs. Performance, range, and economy like this won’t come cheap, but considering the prices of similar performing hypercars – the Roadster is a bargain. Starting at US$200,000 (NZ$299,000) the base model should feature everything that you’d need, but if you want to go one step above that, the Founder Series will be limited to 1000 units and cost about NZ$75,000 more.

his V8-swapped 1987 Holden Barina may not actually be a Holden. Technically it isn’t a Pontiac either – but there is no question that it is absolutely insane. Starting off life as a Suzuki, the Cultus had quite a few different rebadging options depending on where it went in the world. We got the Holden Barina, Japan got the Izuzu Geminett II, and the US got the Pontiac Firefly. It can be argued that there is almost nothing Suzuki left on this particular example, with a transplanted Chevrolet heart, and a Pontiac driveline, this car is as just about American as they come. Recently listed on auction site Bring a Trailer, the current owner reveals that this little Pontiac has had its fair share of ups and downs in its life. The secondary school engineering teacher-owner talks about how he “Frankensteined” this car back from the dead, and turned it into a vehicle that has absolutely no problem at all tackling the hills that surround his house. Once a tame, mild-mannered little three-cylinder car, the Firefly has undergone a full overhaul where the owner has swapped both the engine and the whole driveline. Now, a Chevy 350 cubic-inch engine is mated to a TH350 automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels through a rear axle sourced from a Firebird. As the old saying goes; “with great power, comes great responsibility”, a roll cage has been installed in the car as well as a battery shut off switch. Sports seats now take pride of place in the cabin, and are one of the only luxuries offered. No radio, no ventilation system. Complete with 264,000 kilometres on the body, this isn’t your usual immaculate barn find, but it makes up for the bumps and bruises with personality and brute force. But because personality doesn’t always mean value, the car has been listed without a reserve, and bidding is currently at $US3500.

In brief
Trail Blazers level series AP CJ McCollum scored 20 points, picking up the slack with backcourt mate Damian Lillard struggling, and the Portland Trail Blazers turned back the Denver Nuggets 97-90 yesterday to even their playoff series at 1-1. The Trail Blazers led by 15 at halftime, 17 in the third quarter and 14 to start the fourth but the Nuggets pulled to 95-90 in the final minute thanks to an astonishing 14 offensive rebounds and a 19-9 run before Rodney Hood’s two free throws with 17 seconds left iced it. “The good news is they had all of those offensive rebounds but they didn’t convert a lot,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “They were 8 for 24 on second-chance points. We were fortunate we came away not hurt as badly as we could have been on the offensive boards. “(Nikola) Jokic and (Paul) Millsap were just playing volleyball with it. “They’re both excellent offensive rebounders. They’re a topthree offensive rebounding team anyway and we’ve got to make sure they don’t have those opportunities in Game 3.” Lillard added 14 points but was just 5 of 17 from the floor and 1 of 7 from 3-point range, 24 hours after scoring 39 in the series opener. Still, the Blazers seized the home-court advantage with the series shifting to Portland for Game 3 tomorrow. Jokic had 16 points and 14 boards but got off to a slow start

and wasn’t nearly the take-control force he was in Game 1, when he scored 37 points. With Jokic taking – and missing – just one shot in the first
quarter and scoring six points in the first half, the Nuggets trailed 50-35 at halftime after the franchise’s worst quarter ever at home in the playoffs, one
in which they made just 5 of 23 shots and missed all 10 of their 3-pointers. Nuggets coach Michael Malone said he admonished his team at halftime, “’if you’re not making shots, maybe attack the basket, maybe get to the foul line, maybe get to the rim.’ “And we were getting such open looks. “I understand our players shooting the shot. “But when you’re not having a night when you’re making a shot consistently, you’ve got to attack the basket, you’ve got to push pressure on the rim. “You’ve got to think attack instead of settle. “And I thought in that first half we just didn’t have that mindset.” To top it off, they lost their sparkplug forward Torrey Craig, whose nose was bloodied after he was knocked down and slammed into team-mate Monte Morris’ foot early in the game’s second quarter. Craig, whose insertion into the starting lineup turned around the Nuggets’ first-round series against San Antonio, returned with a face mask with three minutes left in the third quarter. He immediately grabbed a rebound and his 3-pointer with a minute left in the quarter was Denver’s first since 1:11 of the first quarter. “I think Torrey Craig is the unsung hero of the game,” Malone said. “He’s got some (guts). “He’s got some toughness.”

Messi double puts Barcelona in box seat Lionel Messi hit the 600-goal mark for Barcelona after scoring twice to lead the Spanish club to a 3-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final yesterday. Luis Suarez opened the scoring against his former club in the 26th minute against a Liverpool side that spurned a couple of good chances to equalise during a strong spell after the halftime break. Messi then quashed the comeback effort when he doubled the lead from a rebound with 15 minutes left and followed that up by making it 600 career goals for Barcelona by curling in a perfectly struck free kick in the 82nd. Liverpool dominated long stretches of the match but failed to finish its chances when it had the hosts on their back foot, especially early in the second half. Mohamed Salah still almost grabbed a valuable away goal for Liverpool late when he hit the post. Coached by Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona is aiming to replicate the treble of titles it achieved in 2009 under Pep Guardiola and

The top four places in men’s rankings are all held by Egyptians with Ali Farag at one. The second ranked Kiwi male is Campbell Grayson who recently won the Irish Open and is 42nd in the world.
Coach comments on Ko Lydia Ko has undergone yet another change, dumping her swing coach Ted Oh on the eve of defending her Mediheal Championship title this weekend – and it’s one change too many says former coach David Leadbetter. Leadbetter, who coached Ko from 2013 to 2016, oversaw the 22-year-old’s rapid rise to the top of women’s golf. However, those early years – where Ko took out two majors and held the world number one spot for 84 weeks – now feels like an age away. Leadbetter said it is sad to see Ko’s downfall. - NZME
Defender may be back Temalisi Fakahokotau is keeping hope alive of a shock return in time for the Netball World Cup. Fakahokotau’s dream looked in tatters after she ruptured the ACL in her right knee in November, but a steady recovery could have the tenacious goal keep back in time for the final rounds of the ANZ Premiership, potentially giving her a last-gasp chance to prove her fitness ahead of July’s World Cup. Tactix coach Marianne DelaneyHoshek revealed she’s hoping to have the star defender back for the final few domestic rounds, to give her a chance to impress the Silver Ferns selectors. - NZME

Ashburton Guardian 31
Ready to attack winter Guardian racing reporter Matt Markham takes a look at the racing week that was and then glances ahead to what’s in store for the next couple of days. Mid Canterbury stables set to fire up Winter can be a frustrating time in the racing game, but a number of Mid Canterbury thoroughbred stables will be out to make hay while the sun doesn’t shine. Things start to get a real winter racing feel to them this weekend with a big day at Riccarton tomorrow and the return of jumps racing earlier this week – but a couple of Mid Canterbury barns will be out to get the ball rolling in the right fashion. Plenty of eyes will be on the Sarah and Matthew Smith-trained Diorissimo when she shoots for three wins in a row tomorrow at Riccarton. The six-year-old mare has been in dominant form and sneaks into her assignment this week with a lightweight in a $40,000 Open Handicap event and will be running home stronger than most of her rivals. Bevan and Robyn Wilson will also be out to make the most of their opportunities, with a couple of nice each way chances during the day at the same meeting. They’ve got Zawhip and Final Say engaged, both of whom look decent options in their respective races.
Informant set to make a return Sources tell me that we should expect some news in the coming week or days around a potential return from the dead for popular racing publication, The Informant. After the shock announcement last month that effective immediately the weekly publication would cease to operate, many racing fans and industry participants have been left in the dark around what’s next for racing news in New Zealand. But insiders have stated that we are close to seeing the paper return to its former glory with new financial backers and a renewed future within the racing industry of this country. Its absence has undoubtedly highlighted the lack of racing news available to the general public and a return to normality will be welcomed by all corners of the game – no matter what the format.
John in the hot seat Former Mid Canterbury lad, John Morrison is continuing to hold a narrow lead in the race to the New Zealand junior drivers’ championship. The former Ashburton College student current sits two wins clear of his nearest rival, Sheree Tomlinson, on the premiership table with three months of the racing season remaining. With 42 wins on the board, Morrison has already doubled his previous best season tally of 20 wins in a 12 month period and looks set to increase that margin over the coming months. A wealth of drives in the deep South
Dexter Dunn is continuing to make a huge impression on the American racing tracks. has without doubt helped his cause and he’s a busy man at Saturday’s Invercargill meeting with close to a full book of drives at Ascot Park. As well as the driving, Morrison continues to make a good job in the training ranks with three winners now next to his name thanks to a winning double by the now-sold Kiwi Bloke. Morrison’s success from a Mid Canterbury perspective is accentuated by the continued form of Sarah O’Reilly. Sarah now sits fifth on the same premiership with an impressive 16 winners next to her name.
Dexter Dunn, remember him? It’s been a while since he departed our shores for America, but Dexter Dunn’s stocks continue to rise at a rapid rate in his new country. He’s winning races at a strike-rate almost similar to what it was when he was back here in New Zealand, and fast becoming one of the most wanted commodities in American harness racing when it comes to driving.
Last week at Harrahs Philadelphia the record-breaking Kiwi drove five winners for the first time since arriving stateside – further underlining his talents to the rest of the world. There appears to be no need for Dunn to cut short his time in America at the moment and it’s seeming less and less likely that he will return to New Zealand in the near future.
Racing this week Premier racing returns again to Alexandra Park this week for Rowe Cup and New Zealand Messenger night in Auckland. Some of the best in the business will strut their stuff under the ribbon of light and there will be plenty of interest in the outcome of a number of races during the evening. Locally, there’s a fair few Mid Canterbury horses trekking up to Addington for the support meeting for the night. Keep an eye out for Rakaia trotter Girls Let Loose who is shooting for three wins in a row. Tomorrow the thoroughbred code kicks in at Riccarton, with a big day of racing there with plenty of local hopes
throughout the day as mentioned above, before we head to Rangiora on Sunday for harness action there again with strong Mid Canterbury interest throughout the day.
What are we backing? My girl, Attimo, managed to run second at a nice place price at Blenheim last Friday so our 50 per cent strike-rate remains intact as Morningstar Gold wasn’t up to the task at Invercargill the following day. Let’s shoot for the 100 per cent this week. Thoroughbreds: Let’s go for Diorissimo to make it three on end with the lightweight on her back this week. A small field, so she shouldn’t be too far off them and should be able to round them up down the long Riccarton straight. Harness: Going to look for the Colin and Julie DeFilippi-trained Desert Wings to get things back on track at Rangiora on Sunday. Nice trotter with a bit of a future and should be able to make its presence felt in a small field.

Future plans up in the air NZME Beauden Barrett will know where his future lies in the coming weeks. Like many All Blacks, the incumbent first five-eighth is off contract at the end of the season and likely to have a number of lucrative contract offers from clubs abroad. A two-time World Rugby player of the year, Barrett said he and his team had been assessing their options. “Hopefully we can get something across the line and announce it in a couple of weeks’ time.” Late last year reports emerged out of France that clubs were willing to pay the 27-year-old upwards of $2 million a year to lure him overseas, while a sabbatical in Japan was also reported as a possibility. Barrett wouldn’t be the only All Blacks star to take a sabbatical in Japan. Earlier this week it was announced Sam Whitelock had re-signed with New Zealand Rugby for four years, however his contract had a few points
of interest included. Whitelock will play in Japan following this year’s World Cup, which will see him miss the 2020 Super Rugby season. He has also been granted exit clauses in his contract, with NZR admitting they needed to show flexibility in their negotiations with top players. Speaking about Whitelock’s contract, NZR boss Steve Tew said: “We know our players have a number of choices to make when it comes to where they play their rugby and we have to be flexible when it comes to renegotiating with our leading players.” Barrett said Whitelock’s contract could lead to a number of other players trying to negotiate extras into their own clauses going forward. “There’s no harm in asking. “NZR will have some tough decisions to make on where they draw the line. “A lot of players will push as hard as they can but it comes down to the protocols or rules the NZR have and they’ll make the decisions at the end of the day.”
Bryn Gatland’s foot injury is so bad that his famous father rushed home from Wales to manage his recovery. Welsh coach Warren Gatland, whose side won this year’s Six Nations, is making the emergency dash to ensure his son is treated by a top medic. The 23-year-old Gatland will undergo major surgery to save his career after he was carried off during the Highlanders massive win over the Sunwolves in Tokyo. Gatland’s foot was trapped under bodies causing bones to snap and ligaments to tear. A surgeon reportedly believes he can reconstruct the foot so Gatland can resume his career. - NZME
A number of Wallabies players are reportedly considering a boycott if Israel Folau wins his case to play again. Folau will face a Rugby Australia Code of Conduct hearing this weekend after challenging the governing body’s termination breach notice for his homophobic posts on social media. But even if the star fullback comes out of the hearing with his contract intact, his presence could cause a number of his teammates to make themselves unavailable for selection. An unknown number of players felt Folau broke a “prime directive” and had “placed himself before the team”. - NZME
Bender back for Landers
Crunch time for South African sides AP
The Sharks’ scrum will have to be right on top of their game to compete with the champion Crusaders at AMI Stadium tonight. opponents in each of the last two years, in last weekend’s round, suggesting a broad gulf between form in the New Zealand and South African conferences. In another yardstick match this weekend, the Bulls will host the struggling Waratahs in Pretoria in a match which is important in re-igniting their campaign. Australian teams have enjoyed mixed results in South Africa this season. The Melbourne Rebels lost to the Sharks in the sixth round but
Gatland’s mercy dash
Folau dividing team
Right – All Black Beauden Barrett has plenty of choices.
The chances of a South African team winning the Super Rugby title this season, for the first time in nine years, are likely to be measured in a series of games in the 12th round. Super Rugby’s South African conference has developed this season in a tough, internecine contest of closely-matched teams in which the first-placed and last-placed franchises share 5-5 records, separated in the standings only by bonus points. That closeness likely leaves all five conference teams, including Argentina’s Jaguares, still in the race for playoffs positions. But no South African team has yet been able to emerge from the pack, firmly establish itself as the best in the conference and as a serious threat to the New Zealand and Australian conference leaders. The Durban-based Sharks took a step forward last weekend when they beat the New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney. An ability to win consistently outside South Africa is a prerequisite for any of the conference’s teams aiming to win the Super Rugby title. But any claim the Sharks may have to their first Super Rugby championship will be tested when they face the defending champion Crusaders in Christchurch tonight. The Crusaders comfortably brushed off the Johannesburg-based Lions, their finals
In brief
the Queensland Reds beat the Sharks in Durban in round 10 after previously losing to the Bulls. At the same time, South African teams have had mixed results in New Zealand and Australia. The Cape Town-based Stormers lost two matches in New Zealand and one in Australia before beating Australian conference leaders the Rebels 41-17 in Melbourne. The Lions managed to beat the Chiefs in Hamilton for the second straight year but were out-
classed 36-10 by the Crusaders. That doesn’t eclipse the fact they’ve reached the final in three straight years and beat the Crusaders once on their way through the playoffs. Recent results suggest to some degree that inter-conference playoffs matches could be close this season and that home advantage, something enjoyed by the conference winners, may be influential. The Sharks would clearly enhance their playoffs prospects if they can even get close to the Crusaders in Christchurch. Their win over the Waratahs continued a season of erratic performances in which they had previously been beaten at home by the Reds and Jaguares after thrashing the Bulls away. One of the factors in those muddled performances is that their game, like that of all South African teams except for the Lions, is based on kicking. By not holding onto possession they have made themselves reactive to the tactics of their opponents and not pro-active in establishing their own style. A continuation of that style will be costly against the Crusaders, who tend to score in rapid bursts and will pile on points if the Sharks cannot deprive them of possession for long periods. That task will be made more difficult by the absence of prop Tendai Mtawarira, one of the Sharks’ key players, who has returned to South Africa with a knee injury.
All Blacks star Smith sat out his second stand down match against the Sunwolves last week but has been named in a strong Highlanders team to face the Chiefs in Dunedin tomorrow and is now available for the rest of the season. Highlanders co-captains Luke Whitelock and Ben Smith will both start against the Chiefs. In-form Elliot Dixon retains the No. 8 jersey against the Chiefs, with James Lentjes in the No. 7 jersey as part of the powerful Highlanders loose forward combination that has been excellent all season.
Christchurch’s fortress The Crusaders have another milestone match on their hands at Christchurch Stadium tonight; if they topple the Sharks it will match the record 26 consecutive home wins they scored between 20042007. Coach Scott Robertson said it would be a special moment, and something the team would probably discuss on game day, although such records were not a massive driver for the team.
Hunt moving south? Mitchell Hunt, one of the Crusaders’ No. 10s, may be heading to Highlander country next year. With Richie Mo’unga and Brett Cameron ahead of him in the Crusaders’ pecking order, Hunt may look elsewhere to advance his game. The Highlanders have lost current No. 10 Bryn Gatland to a serious foot injury. Hunt can also play a bit at fullback, and with Ben Smith leaving the Highlanders next year that may also be a contributing factor. Luke Whitelock, Jackson Hemopo and Liam Squire are also leaving the southern ranks, but coach Aaron Mauger was happy that All Blacks Aaron Smith and Liam Coltman have re-signed with the Highlanders.

The Blues were hard at work at practice this week. loads and this is their opportunity to provide a different role for us. “This Super Rugby competition is incredibly tight, perhaps the closest in memory. “There’s 10 teams within six points from third to 12th so these final seven games starting with the Brumbies are going to be a huge test.” A win is a non-negotiatable for the Blues because on their return they host the Hurricanes and Chiefs over consecutive weeks before travelling to Christchurch to play the Crusaders. One positive is that the Brumbies are one place lower than them in 12th but the Blues haven’t impressed away from home this season and hardly fired an attacking shot in the second half last time out against the Highlanders in Dunedin.

NZME The Blues, their playoffs chances slipping as New Zealand rivals the Hurricanes and Highlanders kick into gear, are gambling on a strong finish against the Brumbies in Canberra tomorrow. Already without left wing Rieko Ioane, who is finally having an All Black rest week, the Blues are leaving Karl Tu’inukuafe, James Parsons, Patrick Tuipulotu and Dalton Papalii on the reserves bench as they seek a first win since their victory over the Waratahs at Eden Park on April 6. Since then they have lost to the Chiefs and Highlanders away and a bye last weekend saw them slip to 11th position. Unfortunately for the Blues, the Hurricanes and Highlanders are going the other way thanks to a resurgence of form which suggests they will both be difficult propositions in the playoffs. One of the big factors in the Blues’ wins over the Highlanders, Stormers and Waratahs was the impact provided by the bench and head coach Leon MacDonald is going back to the tried and tested. The Brumbies have also just returned from a difficult tour of South Africa and Argentina, so they could be vulnerable in the final quarter. One notable starter for the Blues is Blake Gibson, who will lead the side from openside flanker after being sidelined by a badly cut knee. Fellow loose forward Akira Ioane needs to come through training from a minor hand injury to start for his 28th straight game. Right wing Matt Duffie makes his first start of the season after recovering from a serious hamstring injury suffered last year, with Caleb Clarke switched to the left wing. Sam Nock has his first start at halfback. “We have a number of players back from injury and others who have been performing well on the training field or with their minutes as replacements who have earned their chance. “In this regard we are confident that this starting side will do the job we want,” said MacDonald. “At the same time we did well earlier in the season with some real ammunition off the bench to add significant energy in the final quarter of the game and we feel we have that capability with this team. “Also some of these players have carried some big

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker
Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): As the warrior of the zodiac, you’re very careful to determine what’s really worth fighting for before you even think about suiting up. Your time and effort are valuable commodities. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Shadows of the soul are easy to clear. You don’t have to scrub or organise or manage anything. All you have to do is turn up the heart light (or just generally lighten up) and the darkness disappears. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Whoever told you that making yourself happy was selfish was sadly mistaken. It is, in fact, your job to make yourself happy. And when you follow your bliss, you inspire others to do so, too. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Relationships change in tone as you get to know people better. This will be a good thing – a delightful thing – as comfort breeds fun, laughter and interesting developments. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The problem with chasing rainbows is that you never get to where they are. You arrive and they or move. It’s the same with chasing other lovely illusions, but there’s still a lot of fun to be had in the pursuit. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You may not be an instantaneous fit for a situation, but that doesn’t mean it’s not for you. Try it on. There’s some tailoring that could be done, so to speak. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There are many reasons why a person might earn the label of “difficult.” A lot of times it’s just because that person isn’t conforming. And maybe the norm isn’t worthy of conforming to. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your skills are getting sharper in the way that most things do – through friction. It’s why you don’t bemoan the challenges. They give you the practice you need to become great. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Things are being worked out behind the scenes while the stage appears to be nothing but a blank space in front of a curtain. You’re going to like what happens when that curtain opens. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your feelings will change quickly and completely, so it’s better not to air them straight away. Give it time. Don’t send the first email, text or letter. Sleep on it. Come back and look at it tomorrow. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): After a bit of indecisiveness and not being excited about your choices, suddenly something new drops in. You want it. You throw your energy after it. Your aim is true. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Because you’ve been so warm and inviting, new relationships spring up like green shoots from the ground, a fresh change of your emotional landscape.

Bowlers hit early top form The Ashburton Indoor Bowls representative team kicked off their season in fine style with a dominant performance against their North Canterbury rivals on Sunday at the McNally Street Indoor Bowls stadium. Fresh off the back of a stellar 2018 season where they claimed some massive representative scalps during the season, the side picked right up where they left off, crushing their visitors by an
imposing 135-33 scoreline. Playing two rounds of fours, pairs and singles, the Ashburton side managed to dominate all facets of the day, picking up more than two-thirds of the matches played on their way to a strong victory. They will be hoping to carry that form towards the coming weeks with two more representative fixtures on the horizon. On Sunday they host South
Canterbury at the stadium for the annual Hight Trophy and Calder Shield fixtures. Two teams of 16 players will compete for the two prizes over the course of the day. Next Thursday night, a squad of 24 is off to Lincoln to take on Ellesmere in an annual fixture. Also played last weekend was the Ashburton Mixed Pairs competition with last year’s National Masters Pairs winning combina-
tion of Mark Sheard and Helen Rennie emerging on top of the field to claim the title. They proved too strong for a good line-up of pairings to beat Cecil Tubb and Maureen Eaden with the mother and son duo of Colin and Jackie Gilbert finishing third. Sheard, who was the Masters player of the tournament at the National Championships here in Ashburton, and Rennie will now
head to the zone play-off later in the season to earn the right to then head onto the national final. As well as Sunday’s rep match against South Canterbury, players will be on the mat on Saturday for the first edition of the New Zealand Indoor Bowls Masters Fours competition – a new-look qualifier which creates a pathway for players to earn their way through to the national final later in the season.
