Warning signs for black spot BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hoops says goodbye P27

A dangerous rural Mid Canterbury intersection that claimed the lives of three people in 2014 is about to receive special advanced warning safety signs. A mother and two girls died four years ago when a Dutch tourist drove through a stop sign on Somerton Road and hit their vehicle on Thompsons Track. They were on their way to Lake Ohau for the long Queen’s Birthday weekend. A four-way partnership between the Ashburton District Council, the New Zealand Transport Agency, ACC and AMI will soon result in the erection of flashing

signs on Somerton Road, warning drivers that a stop sign is ahead. Similar signs have been trialled in Selwyn and the low-cost high-visibility treatment has been successful in changing driver behaviour at other rural intersections. Preliminary work has already been carried out on Somerton Road and the signs should be in place this month, in time for the extra traffic expected on Thompsons Track when Mt Hutt Skifield opens. Ashburton District Council roading manager Brian Fauth told councillors yesterday the intersection had already been singled out for safety improve-

ments by council but that work was on hold pending the installation and success of the signs. “We were going to improve it but ACC and NZTA got together and decided they wanted to use it as a test pilot case for the flashing warning signs. The signs will say ‘stop ahead’.” Data on driver behaviour will be collected prior to and after the signs are installed to show their effect. There have already been five crashes at the intersection this year, the most recent in March when four people were injured when a car and a truck collided there.

■ NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Bowlers to battle it out here By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Up to 1000 indoor bowlers and supporters will converge on Ashburton over the next eight days for their national championships at the EA Networks Centre. The centre’s bookings officer Sarah Paton said special mats would be laid on the stadium floor today as part of the set-up and games would be played from tomorrow and throughout next week with the fours finals played the following Saturday. It was one of the biggest tournaments the centre had hosted, in terms of the number of competitors and days of play, she said. The centre’s gym remains open as well as the pool and learn to swim classes, though the stadium was not available for netball or other court users. Parking may be at a premium. Experience Mid Canterbury is one of the principal sponsors of the championships and general manager Bruce Moffat said the event would be a financial boost for the town. Around 300 competitors will take part, with another 600 visitors and supporters expected. “Last year the event was held in Taupo and the visitor spend was estimated at $1.3 million, based

on 1100 players and supporters.” Experience Mid Canterbury staff would be onsite during the week handing out an official visitors’ guide to the players and supporters so they could discover more of the district while they were here. Paton said the championships had been booked two years earlier and regular stadium users were able to reconfigure their competitions by playing on other days to work around the tournament. “It’s going to be a big week.” The 69th national indoor bowls championships starts tomorrow with the singles but defending open champion Wayne Baker will not be defending his title because his wife Annelies is having treatment for a serious medical condition. There is no shortage of previous champions in the field though, which includes well known lawn bowler Gary Lawson. The draw has thrown up some interesting match-ups and will see Ashburton’s Grant Wilson up against his sister Fiona Keegan in the singles. Guardian editor Matt Markham will also be in action in the singles; other Mid Canterbury players will also be competing throughout the week and spectators are welcome, free of charge.

■ AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY STUDY

Majority of users satisfied with EA Networks Centre By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ninety-three per cent of people using the EA Networks Centre are satisfied with their experience, according to a report on the facility. A survey last October undertaken by an Australian university found common complaints were around too hot temperatures in the three-year-old centre but air

conditioning has since been installed. The report cost $2500 to $3000 and will be conducted annually. Some 390 survey participants rated the centre an overall 6.2 out of 7; 31 per cent had experienced a problem, with three-quarters of those successfully resolved. Strengths of the centre were identified as cleanliness, equipment and instructors’ knowledge

and experience. Almost half the respondents visited the centre three or more times a week, spending up to an hour. Customers used the centre in the early morning (21 per cent), late morning (28 per cent), early afternoon (14 per cent), late afternoon (19 per cent) and in the evening (19 per cent). Ninety-five per cent of people took their car to the centre, with

58 per cent living within 5km. Women were the biggest user group, at 77 per cent, with 91 per cent of all users identifying as European or Pakeha. Car parking was mentioned as a problem by some, but Ashburton District councillors seeing the results yesterday were not convinced more parks were needed. Cr Russell Ellis said it made no sense to install more parks at the

moment when parking was only an issue 10 per cent of the time. Parking areas are on the sportfields development phase of the centre, which is several years away. The centre’s assistant manager Richard Wood said senior staff had talked through other criticism and were taking action, like customer service training for frontline staff.

■ FARM SAFETY

Accident reduction ‘a nightmare’ By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Organisations are urging farmers to think twice before they use machinery – but trying to reduce farm injuries can be a nightmare, says one safety advisor. Following two serious Mid Canterbury farm accidents in one day last week, Federated Farmers and Worksafe were urging farmers to consider winter conditions and risks. However, Farmers for Farm Safety Director D’Arcy Palmer said preventing accidents can be an incredibly complicated affair. While Palmer has not observed any recent increases in farm accidents and could not comment on those in Mid Canterbury, he said he is worried when it comes to the future of farm safety. The biggest problem, he said, is the proportion of farmers who do not come from a farming background. His company works with thousands of farmers throughout New Zealand, but 80 per cent of farmers I see today are not actually from a farming background,” he said. Sons of farmers aren’t farming anymore, yet those who come from a farming background learn inherent skills from an early age, he said. “I grew up on a farm, and we learnt to ride quad bikes when we were eight years old. We learned how to ride well, and safely, because we learnt early and because we were yelled at,” he said. However, those who do grow up on a farm also face difficulties, because children under 15 aren’t allowed anywhere near quad bikes because they are machinery and pose the risk of injury, he said.

Jo Pugh “The fines are now astronomical if a child is injured riding a quad bike under 15 … and that’s scaring the hell out of farmers.” But Worksafe said working in and around farm vehicles are the instances where the decision by the farmer “can be the difference between life or death”. Nearly 90 per cent of farm fatalities involve working in and around vehicles and machinery and the company are currently rolling out a three-year Safer Vehicles, Safer Farms, programme. “Making even a small improvement in this area will have a significant impact on reducing injuries and saving lives on the farm,” WorkSafe Assessments deputy general manager Jo Pugh said. Through the Safer Vehicles, Safer Farms programme, WorkSafe will also be encouraging farmers to share their knowledge, expertise and ideas to help create safer ways of working with vehicles and machinery. “Engaging farmers, to tell us what works for them, will be crucial,” Pugh said. “Farmers will know safer ways of doing jobs, which equipment is safest in different situations, and what engineering solutions are out there, that make vehicles and machinery safer.”

■ ASHBURTON COMMUNITY ALCOHOL AND DRUG SERVICE

School, service team up together By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Longbeach School has become the first in the district to team up with the Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service, in a bid to formalise their commitment to a healthy environment. They have worked with the organisation to develop a policy on alcohol in the school – including a blanket ban not to be involved in the process of selling or supplying alcohol on school premises. “Schools are role models for their children,” said school principal Neil Simons. “We have always been committed to limiting the exposure and removing alcohol from the environment … but this is the next step. It’s about crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s.” Longbeach School was one of

23 local primary and secondary schools last year approached by Acads with information on school alcohol policies. Acads said feedback from other schools was slow, but Longbeach School was quick to show initiative and work with their organisation to develop a policy specific to their needs. The Ministry of Education suggests schools have an alcohol policy so there is clear guidance about its use on school premises or at school events. Research shows that children’s future drinking behaviour can be influenced by seeing adults drink in the school setting and that direct harm can result from schools supplying alcohol. Acads CEO Chris Clark said it was encouraging that Longbeach School had seen the benefit in adopting a policy, and was hopeful more schools

would follow suit. Longbeach School’s new alcohol policy also follows comments from the Hawke’s Bay District Health Board (HBDHB) that the sale of alcohol at some school fundraising events may violate the rights of children in the eyes of the United Nations. The HBDHB has vowed to start opposing applications for alcohol sales at school functions where children are present, amid concerns about the presence and promotion of alcohol in settings like fundraising events, discos, jubilee celebrations, art shows, quiz nights or school camps. Alcohol was being made available despite evidence that shows young people exposed to it in this way have a greater likelihood of drinking at a younger age and drinking more hazardously, the board warned.

In brief Independence day Mid Canterbury’s Filipino community will celebrate Philippines Independence Day with a special pageant and talent show on Saturday. Around 200 people are expected at the event at the Tinwald Memorial Hall. Philippines Independence Day is a national holiday in the Philippines and observed on June 12; it marks the declaration of independence from Spain in 1898. Organiser of Saturday’s event in Mid Canterbury, Pilar Ward, said it was important to remember the day, especially for young people. The event will involve 14 girls, between the ages of five and 10 years, who will compete for the Miss Independence crown.

Longer hours a hit

Coats for Kids initiative has coats to give away Looking swish while keeping warm at the Coats for Kids depot at Base Youth Centre is centre regular Kane McDonnell, 13 (above). Co-ordinator Katrina Ward said the initiative was an overwhelming success this winter, with dozens of jackets having been donated. There were plenty to give away, and she encouraged families to come in and try some on. Even parents popping in with their children had been able to find coats which fitted them, as the coat sizing ranged from babies to adults. It was good to see the initiative popular not only with donors, but also people wanting coats, and as many as eight coats were given away in one day at the weekend. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 060618-SS-004

Three Chch dairies targeted Police in Christchurch are looking into three different aggravated dairy robberies in the city overnight on Wednesday. It is not yet known whether the incidents are connected, but cash and cigarettes were taken at all three locations. Police were called to the first robbery at the Templeton Dairy about 5.15pm on Wednesday. Two people armed with a pistol entered the store and made off with an amount of money and cigarettes. The thieves got away in a Maz-

da Demio, which was found by police shortly afterwards. At the second robbery, at 8.22pm, two people armed with a hammer threatened a staffer at the Worcester Street Discount Dairy. Like the first robbery, cash, cigarettes and also tobacco were taken. They left in a vehicle also. The third aggravated robbery occurred in the early hours of yesterday morning, about 4am. Police said a man armed with a metal bar turned up at a shop on Riccarton Road and threatened a

staff member on duty. The worker was uninjured, but like the first two robberies, cash and cigarettes were stolen and this time, the thief made off on foot. Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Cottam said: “Canterbury CIB have carried out scene examinations at all three scenes and are collating these latest aggravated robberies to ascertain if they are linked and are working to identify the offenders.” Police said they were working closely with local dairies and

petrol stations to come up with preventative opportunities. “We ask that any member of the public who witnesses suspicious behaviour near these types of premises – day or night – to contact police on 111 immediately,” Cottam said. “It is only a matter of time t someone gets hurt durbefore ing this offending and the small amount of goods taken in these robberies is not worth the extended prison terms that the offenders will be liable for when arrested.” - NZME

Extended opening hours at the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park over daylight savings were a hit with more people bringing mostly green waste to the park at the weekend, when opening hours were 8am to 6pm on Saturdays and 9am to 5pm on Sundays. The longer hours had removed opening-time spikes and queues, Ashburton District Councillors were told yesterday. The longer Sunday hours will remain through winter. Waste reports also showed a 12 per cent increase in kerbside collections, with a corresponding 12 per cent decline in waste brought to the tip.

Hinds charging station A charging station for electric vehicles is to be installed at Hinds, while another will be located in Methven, near the heritage centre. The Ashburton District Council is also seeking data on the current use of stations at Rakaia and Ashburton, both installed over the past 12 months.

Police seek driver Two cyclists were taken to hospital yesterday after a collision with a car in Nelson. Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash at the intersection of Rutherford St and Van Diemen St about 2.30pm. A police spokesperson said the car was last seen headed toward Waimea Road. The two cyclists – a man and a woman in their 20s – were taken to hospital with moderate injuries. - NZME

Haybales aid in whitebait research University of Canterbury researchers have been successfully locating, protecting and studying whitebait spawning sites in Christchurch city rivers with help from the humble haybale. Doctoral researcher Shane Orchard, along with University of Canterbury marine ecologists Dr Mike Hickford and Distinguished Professor David Schiel at the College of Science, have been working to improve the protection of whitebait spawning sites. Their new paper published in the scientific journal Ecological Indicators sets out the science behind using artificial habitats such as haybales to find areas used for spawning in degraded waterways. PhD candidate Shane Orchard, who is based in the Waterways Centre for Freshwater Management, conducted a study using haybales as artificial habitats, to help with spawning surveys of the Opawaho Heathcote River and Otakaro Avon River. “As part of our whitebait spawning research we developed a method using artificial habitats – haybales – as an experimental tool. This will provide useful information alongside field surveys designed to locate and map the areas used for spawning,” Orchard said.

Scientists used haybales to ﬁnd whitebait spawning areas in the Heathcote and Avon Rivers. PHOTO SUPPLIED

It helps by improving the chances that eggs laid in degraded locations will be found. Previous UC research has found that

most eggs will die in these conditions – and they could easily have disappeared by the time a field survey was done.

This technique was used successfully to investigate major shifts in spawning habitat due to the Canterbury earthquakes.

“A surprising result from our spatial ecology work was the discovery that spawning habitat had expanded following the Canterbury earthquakes to be more extensive than ever recorded. “The Avon Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai waterways are now home to the largest documented spawning area for any catchment in New Zealand.” The artificial habitats work included a project that involved installing a large number of bales to detect degraded areas that could be restored, and engaged the Christchurch community, including several schools, in the haybale experiment to raise awareness of conservation needs. In future, a similar approach could be useful to identify spawning locations in other catchments or to help monitor spawning activity over time, especially in degraded riparian environments, Orchard said. The technique directly supports conservation planning by helping to address the need for accurate information on spawning locations. It also provides useful information for restoration work by confirming beyond doubt that spawning can occur in those areas.

WHITEBAIT - THE FACTS ■ ■ ■

Inanga (Galaxias maculatus) is the mainstay of New Zealand’s whitebait fishery, but is declining in numbers. Spawning habitat is found on waterway margins that are often degraded by human land uses. In degraded locations spawning may happen but most of the eggs will die. This also makes detection of these sites

more difficult, but if identified they could be protected. Using artificial habitats, such as haybales, can overcome this detection problem. Artificial habitats can help identify and confirm the location of spawning – and this information is directly useful for whitebait conservation.

Child injured in airport conveyer-belt incident A toddler has been rushed to hospital after an incident on a luggage conveyor belt at Auckland International Airport yesterday. The Herald understands the 2-year-old boy was seriously injured about 3.30pm after an incident involving a conveyor belt at a check-in area. The toddler reportedly climbed onto the belt which carries luggage from the check-in area to the security clearance area and was carried some distance. The little boy suffered a serious injury and has been taken to Middlemore Hospital. An Auckland International Airport spokeswoman said staff were reviewing the security footage to establish what had happened, and how. She said the priority was the safety and wellbeing of the child. Police and St John ambulance attended. Police confirmed they were aware of an incident but referred the Herald to airport management and Aviation Security.

The Herald is also seeking comment from Aviation Security. Overseas, a number of children have passed through baggage conveyor belts in recent years. In 2006 a woman passed her onemonth-old grandson through the X-ray machine at Los Angeles International Airport. The Guardian reported that a security worker saw the baby entering the machine sitting on a plastic bin intended for hand luggage and jackets. That official managed to pull the bin out along the conveyor belt. In 2013, a five-month-old boy died on a baggage carousel at a Spanish airport after his mother put his baby carrier on the conveyor belt and it became trapped in the machine. Spanish police said the weight of the baby carrier activated the special carousel for outsized luggage, carrying the infant off to the entrance of the bag drop. - NZME

Panther’s Rock goes pink for breakfast

Two women arrested for Chch burglaries Two women have been arrested for a spate of burglaries in Christchurch. Police had been aware of a series of burglaries that occurred when properties in the area were rented through popular accommodation websites. Yesterday, the suspects, aged 30 and 35, were located in Sumner. The pair were due to appear in Christchurch District Court yesterday on a range of charges. Christchurch Tactical Crime Detective Sergeant Colin Baillie says the properties were booked using stolen credit card details from overseas banks. “We’re pleased to have made two arrests but property owners still need to take extra care. “Ensure bookings are legitimate by asking for photo identification and having renters pick up the keys from an agent or trusted person. “Watch out for anyone who doesn’t want to pick up keys in person but asks for them to be placed in a lockbox.” Baillie said just because the credit card transaction goes through, does not mean it’s legitimate – transactions still go through with illegally obtained details. “We believe others may be involved, so enquiries are ongoing. “Anyone who’s been a victim of burglary after using an online booking site is urged to contact their local police station.”

Boy rotted to death A malnourished 18-year-old boy died in squalid conditions on his living room floor after being left to “rot to death” by his mother, sister and grandmother, a court heard yesterday. Jordan Burling weighed little more than six stone when paramedics found him lying on a filthy inflatable mattress, wearing a soiled nappy and covered in pressure sores, the Daily Mail reported. He died as a result of malnutrition, immobility and infection-riddled sores after being “allowed to decay” for several weeks before his death, it is alleged. His body was likened to those of prisoners held in World War Two extermination camps, Leeds Crown Court heard yesterday. His mother Dawn Cranston, 45, sister Abigail Burling, 25, and grandmother Denise Cranston, 70, are accused of manslaughter in his death. Shockingly, the jury also heard how a police search of the house uncovered the body of Dawn Cranston’s full-term newborn baby, which had been stuffed into a rucksack. Opening the case, prosecutor Nicholas Lumley QC said: “The fault lies with each of the accused. “What met the eyes of the paramedics was a shocking and disturbing scene.” Lumley continued: “Jordan was lying, utterly helpless, on an inflatable mattress in a cluttered living room. “He was little more than skin and bones, he weighed 37kg, less than six stones. “He wore a soiled nappy under some pyjamas. “The expert dietitian said they had never seen such malnutrition in 26 years and likened the condition of the body to that found in WWII extermi-

Jordan Burling eventually died as a result of malnutrition. nation camps. “His heart stopped, his life could not be saved; he expired in that living room. “For reasons which may never be understood, Jordan had been allowed to decay, to rot to death, by those closest to him for at least several weeks. “There was no other reason for his death, no natural or other illness, apart from the conditions created for him by the accused.” The jury heard Jordan had led a relatively normal life before being taken out of school at age 16 where he was then home-schooled by Dawn Cranston. There were no apparent illnesses which led to his deterioration in health and eventual death on June 30, 2016. A clip of the 999 call made by Dawn was played to the court. She told the operator: “He’s been poorly and having prob-

lems breathing. “He’s gasping for breath and not responding. “He was refusing to go to the toilet so I put a nappy on him. “He was fine half an hour ago he was chatting and talking. He’s so stubborn he wouldn’t go to the doctors.” Lumley told the court: “As that call was taking place an ambulance was dispatched to the house and arrived in minutes. “The paramedics were – through no fault of their own – late, by many months.” Jordan had suffered terrible pressure sores as a result of barely moving which were infected leaving his bones exposed in places. The jury was told Jordan’s father Steven Burling, with whom he had limited contact, had sent several text messages asking about his son’s condition.

He did not see the true extent of what Jordan was suffering but he urged Dawn to take him to the doctors multiple times. In one message Stephen said: “I’ve been told by your mother not to come. “I told you to take him to the doctors and you won’t listen to me. “He’s not the same person.” Lumley told the court Jordan died from acute bronchopneumonia, a result of his malnutrition, immobility and infection-riddled sores. The court heard how police found Google searches on a computer in the house about pressure sores just eight weeks before Jordan’s death. Lumley also told the jury of the disturbing find of a baby’s remains when police searched the property in Farnley, Leeds. The child of Dawn Cranston and Steven Burling had grown to full term in the womb but it could not be established if he was born dead or alive, he said. The baby could have been born as long ago as 1992. He added: “Within what would have been Jordan’s bedroom, officers found a small rucksack, within which were plastic bags inside plastic bags. “As the police handled the rucksack, a rancid smelling liquid began to seep from the layers of bags. “Amongst the liquid were tiny bones, all that remained of a baby boy.” The three women sat quietly in the dock all facing a principal charge of manslaughter and an alternative charge of causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable person. Dawn Cranston pleaded guilty to concealing birth of a child by secretly disposing of body. - PA

■ MIDDLE EAST

‘Humanitarian aid is disappearing’ Samia Hassan used to have enough money to feed her two dozen children and grandchildren. Now she spends much of her time worrying about food, scouring Gaza’s vegetable markets for end-of-day discounts or walking miles for a pot of free gruel from a soup kitchen. Large numbers of Gaza families have been pushed deeper into poverty in recent months by Palestinian political infighting and the freezing of US aid. Life is tougher than ever for most of the two million Palestinians locked into tiny, blockaded Gaza, where electricity

is off most hours of the day, unemployment approaches 50 per cent and the Islamic militant group Hamas rules with a tight grip. “It’s a perfect storm,” said Hilary DuBose of the Catholic Relief Services, which has had to forego emergency food distributions because the Trump administration is withholding funds. “At the same time that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening, humanitarian aid is disappearing.” Growing despair in Gaza has helped drive recent Hamasled protests against the border

blockade by Israel and Egypt. The closure was imposed after Hamas, branded a terrorist group by Israel and the West, seized Gaza in 2007, driving out forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The escalating crisis also spotlights the lack of a coherent Gaza policy by the external players trying to shape its future. Israel and Egypt say they need the blockade to contain Hamas, but have not offered a viable plan for Gaza. The international community wants the blockade lifted, but hasn’t said how it would deal with Hamas, which re-

fuses to disarm or renounce violence. Hassan – who shares her unfinished cinderblock home with seven of her 12 adult children, three daughters-in-law and 16 grandchildren – said she joined the border protests repeatedly, intentionally getting close to the fence in hopes of getting shot and killed by Israeli troops. “Death is better than this life,” she said to her sons’ astonishment as the family gathered for the meal breaking the dawn-to-dusk fast of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. - PA

Orchard ACTION PLAN FOR JUNE

Fruit tree expert Sarah Frater from Edible Garden has pulled together her action plan for taking care of your fruit and nut trees and plants at this time of year.

Check moisture levels While it’s getting wetter in most of the country, it’s still important to make sure your trees are receiving enough water. It’s particularly important to ensure your citrus trees (which are shallow rooted) get enough water. If they don’t get enough water in summer and autumn their fruit in winter will be pithy and dry. Mulching will help conserve moisture – and under your feijoa trees will make fruit collection easier. Remember to water well and deep – drippers and soak hoses are ideal for doing this.

Check plant ties and stakes Make sure your plant ties are secure but not overly tight. These can be a great place for bugs (like scale) to over-winter so check and renew the ties if you need to. It’s also important to check any plants that need stakes are secure.

Harvest nuts Mow under your nut trees so the grass is short. This will make it easier to collect fallen nuts especially if you’re raking them by hand. Next, dry them out of the sun (like under a veranda or in a shed) on an open base (like an old inner sprung mattress base).

After a week or two, when the nuts are dried, store them in onion sacks (ideally hanging from the rafters) and away from rodents.

Leaves and prunings Burn any prunings or leaf litter lying around under any of your fruit trees to avoid the spread of over-wintering insects and diseases. This is especially important for trees that have suffered leaf curl and/or brown rot. Remember to remove all mummified fruit as well. Mummified fruit is fruit that has been damaged by fungi and the fungi encases the whole outer of the fruit. All that fungi, if not removed, is just sitting around waiting to re-infect the following season.

Frost protection If you live in a frost-prone area, start thinking about how you’re going to protect your citrus, tamarillo and passion fruit trees and plants. Either spray them with liquid frost cloth or for your citrus trees you could make straw bale houses around them which you can then secure frost cloth over the top of.

Protect pipfruit from codlin moths Place corrugated cardboard around the trunks of your pipfruit trees as a trap for migrating and over-wintering pests such as codlin moths. You could also try planting pelagonium tomentosa (peppermint pelagonium) which has strong scented leaves. The oil in pelagonium leaves is also present in the roots and can help to deter codlin moth that may try to pupate or over-winter in the soil.

Spraying Spray plants like gooseberry with winter oil (we use Enspray 99) to protect your plants against mites. Spray lime sulphur on your pip and stone fruit trees as an autumn/pre-winter cleanup to target pests and diseases. It is very important to remember it burns off the foliage, lichen pests and diseases so only apply it in cool months.

And never use it on apricots and some pears and apples such as Cox’s Orange Pippin and Red Delicious which are sulphur sensitive. It’s also very important to never mix lime sulphur with other products (especially copper) and allow two weeks after the application of lime sulphur before applying copper or spraying oil to fruit trees.

Brambles and raspberries This is your last chance for a post-harvest clean-up on brambles and raspberries. Prune out the spent canes or mark with ties so you know which ones to remove and tie new season canes in place.

Planting If you’re planning on planting your trees (feijoas, citrus, berry, nut, fruit, etc) in a pot then you can do this at most times of the year. With the exception of February as it’s normally too dry for fruit tree planting. And if you’re planning on planting in the ground, now’s the time to start getting ready. Work out where and what you want to grow for planting in winter when the trees are dormant (late June to August). Take a look at Edible Garden’s catalogue and place your order. Our trees are mostly deciduous (lose their leaves) and we dispatch the bare-rooted trees when they’re in their dormant phase. Bare-rooted means they have been pulled from the ground and will have no soil around their roots. This means they need to be planted as soon as you receive them in winter and then they will shoot away in spring. Once you’ve got your trees, try companion-planting something like primulas and pansies around the base of the trees to add some colour before the trees shoot off.

Aggressive new style for Camry T here’s a new Camry in town. “Don’t think of this Camry like the previous 8 generations. “There is a reason why the Camry is featuring as a finalist of World Car of the Year – This is the best Camry ever built,” says Neeraj Lala of Toyota New Zealand. Now manufactured in Japan the sleeker, sportier V6 and hybrid models are completely new from the ground up. While the price leading GL as well shares the new body and longer wheelbase platform, it carries over the existing, 133 kW/231Nm, 2.5 litre petrol engine and a revised six speed auto. The $47,990 V6’s 3.5-litre directioninjection engine now produces 224 kW and 362 Nm of torque and is paired with an eight speed auto with paddle shifters. While it sits on sports tuned suspension and 19” alloy wheels, has a boot spoiler and twin exhausts, the rather luxurious cabin has a Lexus feel about it. The Camry’s hybrid engine now has a total system output of 160kW. It was included in the Wards Auto 2018 top 10 best engines list for its effortless, seamless and consistent performance. With a new Auto Glide Control system that promotes smooth and efficient coasting, aiding fuel economy, which is said to be 4.2-4.5 L/100 kms, depending on the variant Standard equipment on the $35,990 GL grade includes: wireless central locking; 17” alloy wheels with full sized spare;

manual air-con; 4.2” colour multi information display; six speaker audio system; and reverse camera with dynamic guidelines. The $41,490 GX Hybrid adds four drive modes has a temporary spare wheel; smart entry; smart start; and dual zone automatic air-con. The SX Hybrid costs $42,990 and adds a sports exterior styling package; eight-way power driver’s seat adjustment; 7” colour

multi information display; sat-nav and front and rear parking sensors. While the $49,490 ZR Hybrid has paddle shifters; 18” alloys; tilt and slide moonroof; rain sensing wipers; driver and front passenger seat heating/ventilation; head-up display; blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert. models come with Toyota Safety Sense, which includes Pre-Crash Safety system

with Autonomous Emergency Braking; all speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control; Automatic High Beam; Lane Departure Alert with steering assist, a Vehicle Sway Warning system, LED headlights and daytime running lights.

Touring as it should be

ets carry on with Bernard’s last week motoring theme of journeys and destinations! For irrespective of the daily advantages of driving on MidCanterbury’s mostly straight, flat roads one needs to travel further afield to get a real feel of a vehicles handling, road-holding and comfort etc. I was fortunate to do just that in the Calais Tourer. I would also suggest that for both keen drivers and motorcyclists the long way home to Ashburton from Dunedin via Middlemarch-Macraes Flat-Palmerston, with its wonderful variety of scenery and definitely undulating terrain is a delight. Especially so the little-travelled George King Drive (sharp right turn immediately after crossing the Taieri river at Outram), which few will fail to enjoy with its twists and turns, the spectacular descent and subsequent climb out of the Lee Stream Gully. Great roads and country to appreciate the benefits of the state of the art Twinster adaptive all-wheel-drive system, which the Tourer (as do all the new V6 Commodores) has. This very clever system, which has a separate clutch for each rear wheel, constantly reads the road conditions and distributes power between the front and rear wheels by making sure the most effective wheels are driving at all times.

As well, the Tourer’s supple, slightly softer suspension setup and 18-inch wheel/235/50 tyre package complement its 20mm higher ride height and deliver a very good ride for the secondary/ski-field roads it is very likely to be used on. Be assured, this is not to the detriment of its cornering abilities, or passenger comfort when enjoying these, for it handles, grips and steers impressively on all surfaces. That’s especially so in the selectable Sport mode, which further sharpens the steering response, as well as having the Twinster system apportion more drive to the rear wheels. Looks-wise the Tourer distinguishes itself from its Sports Wagon sibling through being ever so slightly taller and having plastic cladding about its wheel arches in keeping with its SUV-like image. Under the bonnet sits a naturallyaspirated 3.6 litre petrol V6, which delivers 235kW at 6800rpm and 381Nm at 5200rpm. So while it obviously looks like it prefers a few revs, thanks to its slick, intuitive nine speed auto it is just as happy and still suitably brisk and responsive when dawdling around town and in other lower speed situations. Then, on the open road, it is either quick for overtaking, or a very relaxed, quiet cruiser. The contemporary-looking cabin, and I guess its not surprising seeing it’s built there, has a feeling of German quality and

proved logical to both read and use. It’s four adult-friendly (five if necessary) with suitably comfortable, long distance, leather covered seats. Those in the front are heated, ventilated and the driver’s has a massage function, while the two outer rear seats are heated. As well there’s a large panoramic glass roof and lots of storage for stuff needed en route. There’s loads of driver assist, safety and infotainment gear, including a head-up display, 360 degree birds-eye view camera, adaptive cruise control, adaptive matrix LED headlights, lane-keep assist, Bose sound system and embedded sat-nav, and lots more including self-parking. Luggage capacity with the rear seats up is 560 litres – with them folded 1665 litres. Loading is easy with the hands-free tailgate, opened with a wave of your foot under the rear bumper, but you need to ensure you have the key fob in your pocket to do this!

Pricing: $65,990 + ORC. (other Commodore from $45,990 to $67,990) Engine:, 3.6-litre petrol V6 -235kW@6800rpm and 381Nm@5200rpm. Transmission: 9 speed auto – adaptive all-wheel-drive.

FINALE This nicely balanced, modern, very well set up Calais-V Tourer can just so easily turn your journey to wherever your destination is, and whatever the weather and road conditions are, into a grand tour! And how knows, but in due course there may even be a 2.0-litre turbopetrol variant, whose 191kW and 353Nm would undoubtedly team up so very well with that Twinster all-wheel-drive system.

SELF-DRIVING T

he world-first ‘CORTEX’ project will take self-driving cars off-road, ensuring they are fully capable in any weather condition: dirt, rain, ice, snow or fog. As part of the project, a ‘5D’ technique combining acoustic, video, radar, light detection and distance sensing (LiDAR) data live in real-time is being engineered. Access to this combined data improves the awareness of the environment the car is in. Machine-learning enables the selfdriving car to behave in an increasingly sophisticated way, allowing it to handle any weather condition on any terrain. Chris Holmes, Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Research Manager at Jaguar Land Rover, said: “It’s important that we develop our self-driving vehicles with the same capability and performance customers expect from all Jaguars and Land Rovers. “Self-driving is an inevitability for the automotive industry and ensur-

ing that our autonomous offering is the most enjoyable, capable and safe is what drives us to explore the boundaries of innovation. “CORTEX gives us the opportunity to work with some fantastic partners whose expertise will help us realise this vision in the near future.” Jaguar Land Rover is developing fully- and semi-automated vehicle technologies, offering customers a choice of the level of automation, while maintaining an enjoyable and safe driving experience. This project forms part of the company’s vision to make the self-driving car viable in the widest range of reallife, on- and off-road driving environments and weather. CORTEX will develop the technology through algorithm development, sensor optimisation and physical testing on off-road tracks in the UK. The University of Birmingham, with its world leading research in radar and sensing for autonomous platforms and Myrtle AI, machine learning experts, join the project.

The magic of Mazda

ast week, Mazda celebrated the production of their 50-millionth car; a milestone well worth kicking up a fuss over. The Japanese marque was founded in 1920, and since then has been at the forefront of some of the world’s biggest motoring revolutions. Though they’ve perhaps never quite knocked on the door of the Toyotas of the world in terms of sales figures, Mazda’s a company that’s always been giving enthusiast drivers a side-wink via a continual focus on driving satisfaction and fun behind the wheel. It’s something that we’ve always appreciated, and an element that ensures picking five ‘best cars ever’ from the manufacturer is sure to be a challenge. But, to celebrate a production milestone, it’s the least we could do.

ing pointed and proper go-kart handling. And these elements were complemented by gull-wing doors (a big ol’ deal, even today) and mini-me-supercar styling cues galore. The only catch? It wasn’t really a Mazda ... most of the development was done by Suzuki, who released their own version of the AZ-1; the Cara. Mazda did release a MazdaSpeed version later on [pictured above] which had a limited-slip differential among its options list.

3. 1989 Mazda MX-5 (NA) Speaking of the ‘there’s no replacement for displacement’ crowd, arguably no car angers them more than the Mazda MX-5. Yes, you could argue that the MX-5 came off the back of Mazda simply observing the traditional British sports car, and copying the concept. But while the ‘British sports car’ is long dead,

5. 1992 Autozam AZ-1 We’ve talked at length about Kei cars, but here’s a brief refresher. The kei concept was prompted by mood on the ground in post-war Japan. The idea was that a new set of regulations for cars produced to minuscule dimensions could help spur industry growth. And as Japan’s industry boomed and places like Tokyo became incredibly dense and crowded, the kei car’s purpose changed to encompass a need for families to occupy as little space as possible (in certain areas you can only buy a car if you’ve got room to store it, making the humble kei car quite handy). For a long time, the motoring genre was seen as being lowest-common-denominator transport. But that changed through the 70s and 80s when hot hatches and small sports cars started to emerge as Japan’s ‘bubble era’ started to show through in what was rolling onto showroom floors. Arriving in 1992, the Autozam AZ-1 (Autozam being one of Mazda’s spin-off brands) arguably represents the absolute peak of the genre. Coming up against the likes of the Suzuki Cappuccino and Honda Beat, the ‘zam was a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive dream. It came with the same engine as the Cappuccino; a sophisticated turbocharged 660cc three-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder. Each corner of the pocket rocket had MacPherson struts and disc brakes ensur-

4. 1967 Mazda Cosmo The beginning of the rotary legend; a car that simply couldn’t not be on this list. Produced across five years, the Cosmo was a beautiful, svelte two-door GT from a company known better at the time for their economy vehicles. The Cosmo wasn’t the first rotarypowered car to be sold on this great planet (that crown goes to NSU’s Spider), but it was the first rotary Mazda, and that’s significant given that they were the only manufacturer to persevere and develop the technology to the heights we know today. The first production Cosmos were powered by a 982cc, 110hp (82kW) 0810 two-rotor unit that featured plenty of interesting mechanical quirks (on top of .. .you know ... being a rotary engine). And it sounded like nothing else on the road. While the Cosmo’s design spoke to affluence and the jet set, the rotary engine actually made the car great value in terms of costs on the run, given that the subone-litre engine meant it was in a lower tax bracket to plenty of other cars. But small capacity didn’t come at the expense of pace; the Cosmo bending the ‘there’s no replacement for displacement’ logic with its 185km/h top speed and confident handling chops. It truly set the tone for Mazda’s future rotary-powered vehicles.

the MX-5 soldiers on as the best selling two-seat sports car of all time. And while the MX-5 continues to be one of the most well-rounded and chuckle-conjuring cars money can buy today, plenty of motoring purists will say that the best of the bunch was the very first one, the ‘NA’. It debuted at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, and by the end of the year they were selling like hot cakes across North America, Japan, and Europe. Many of the ingredients could be considered humdrum in isolation. An inline 1.6-litre four-banger with 86kW to its name and a five-speed manual as standard. The Roadster didn’t come with a fancy roof, just a folding canvas job. The interior spartan, top speed just over the 200km/h mark. But, this is the crux that’s always enveloped the MX-5 – it is not about numbers or statistics. It’s about gooey stuff like feel and how all of the little convertible’s ensemble interact with one another. Many of the MX-5’s moving parts were lightened specifically for the model, including the camshaft and flywheel, and they were mated to a tiny wheelbase with four wheels with independent suspension, placed close to the corners. Mazda’s engineers were even given specific order from upstairs to make the throws between each manual gearshift as close as possible. All of these things and more ensured that the MX-5 would be one of the most unanimously loved cars ever made.

2. 1992 Mazda RX-7 (FD) This, arguably, is the car that gave rotary power its greatest market penetration outside of Japan. It came in a decade where seemingly every Japanese manufacturer had a buck in the performance-car ring. The RX-7 though had its own unique characteristic; the twin-turbo 13B rotary under the bonnet. Many make the most noise about the FD’s insane red-line and noise, but consider too how rapid it could meet that red-line thanks to the sequential twin turbos. It made for a perfect canvas for the aftermarket tuning scene; a flame fanned by the likes of The Fast and the Furious. The 13B itself is a bit of a legend in its own right, having powered wankel Mazdas

for more than three decades. The FD RX-7 was the 13B’s victorious swansong; a victorious end for an engine that had avid fans across multiple generations. As well as a few haters, of course. Sadly the RX-7 would only be with us from 1992 to 2002.

1. 1991 Mazda 787B Yes, a race car. Sorry. But, what an incredible race car. It weighed 150kg less than the first-generation Mazda MX-5. The chassis was a combined kevlar and carbon composite monocoque. And under the rear hatch was a custom-built R26B naturally aspirated four-rotor engine capable of generating 670kW of power and revving out to 9000rpm. And in full flight, it sounded like a Formula 1 car on some kind of class A drug. Fronting up at Le Mans, Mazda was well and truly the David to the Goliaths of MercedesBenz, Jaguar, and Porsche. And though that showed in the early years, Mazda’s 767 and 767B often made it to the finish line reliably. It was only in 1991 that success would come with Johnny Herbert in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For all the calls about the rotary engine’s lack of reliability, it’s deeply ironic that the engineers from Mazda’s racing programme thought that the race-winning 787B was healthy enough to do a second 24-hour race straight away. No sweat. Throughout Mazda’s history, they’ve waded into motorsport, but often it’s been under the pretence of being an underdog or a minnow. Winning at Le Mans with a unique package ended those feelings. Even if it was Mazda’s (and Japan’s) only ever Le Mans win.

Honorary mentions 2006 Mazda 6 MPS A sensible family sedan with true performance capabilities and all-wheel drive. Well sorted, and a heck of a bargain in today’s second-hand market.

1971 Mazda RX-2 A dash of Americanesque styling, shrunken and then mixed with an ever improving rotary engine platform (though it was also offered with an inline four) made for a spectacular little car. Plenty of motorsport history to boast about, too.

1992 Mazda Familia GT-R Speaking of motorsport, the Familia/323 GT-X and GT-R were a superb group of rally cars for the road built through the ‘80s and ‘90s alongside a global rallying campaign.

Mazda CX-5 Yes, a plain Jane SUV makes the list. But for good reason; the second-generation CX-5 represents one of the sharpest design and interior packages outright that you can buy today. And that’s against the best from Europe.

Mazda RX-8 It was more practical than its predecessor, but the RX-8 was always destined to live in the shadow of its RX-7 father. But it was still a stellar car. “This car is sensational,” said Jeremy Clarkson in 2003. “Of all the cars that I’ve driven this year, I’m pretty sure this one is the best.”

Updates for a favourite

INI Australia is proud to announce specification details for updated MINI 3 door, 5 door and Convertible ranges. Featuring a higher level of standard equipment, a unique lighting signature and a swathe of new colour and trim options, the updated MINI range also majors on connectivity – thanks to the new MINI Connected 4G system installed as standard. “The MINI hatch has been the best-seller in its segment over the last two years,” explains MINI Australia General Manager, Brett Waudby. “This refresh simply enhances MINI’s product offering further, with key updates to connectivity, higher-quality materials and a fresh new look, emphasised by those fantastic Union Jack LED tail lamps,” he said. From the newly-designed MINI logo – a prominent feature on the new key fob, as well as the exterior, projection lighting and steering wheel – through to the latest lighting systems, the new MINI’s overall design has been further refined. An additional five exterior colour options have been added to the palette, available for both Hatch and Convertible. These include Solaris Orange, Emerald Grey, Starlight Blue, Melting Silver and Chili Red. Contributing to the MINI’s unique look is the newly-designed LED lighting system that is fitted as standard to Cooper S and JCW variants (optional on Cooper). This system has been designed to further increase both low- and high-beam range. LED daytime running lights and LED turn indicators are integrated into the main headlight fitting to create a unique lighting signature. Move to the rear and the distinctive Union Jack styled tail lights (standard on Cooper S and John Cooper Works variants) are set to become another icon of MINI design. As standard, the Cooper variants feature a Halogen front lighting system, with black

edging to the headlight surrounds refreshing the appearance. LED tail lights are now employed. For the ultimate in exterior lighting, an Adaptive LED system is optionally available, featuring a ‘matrix’ high beam function that adapts to the road ahead. The updated MINI Hatch and Convertible ranges are at the cutting-edge of premium compact connectivity, with the introduction of MINI Connected. A holistic approach to connectivity, these MINI variants utilise the 4G network and offer a touchscreen interface, to make vehicle interaction a breeze. The MINI Connected suite includes

Real-Time Traffic Information (unique to the segment) as well as Remote Services, Connected Services and TeleServices. Peace of mind is added with the only integrated Emergency eCall function in the segment. Apple CarPlay is fitted as standard across the ranges, and wireless phone charging is standard on Cooper S and JCW variants, as well as the Cooper Convertible. Strengthening these digital credentials further is the MINI Connected App, which truly integrates the user’s smart device with their MINI. Using the MINI Connected App provides send to car functionalities, such as sharing

your calendar and contact data to the car, creating navigation and suggesting departure times based on traffic information. The Remote Services system allows display of the vehicle’s location and fuel level, while enabling the user to flash the lights, lock/unlock the vehicle and even pre-condition the vehicles cabin, all from a connected smart device. MINI’s Connected Services provides weather information, key points of interest, news items, petrol station locations and send to car functionality. The TeleServices system meanwhile enables the vehicle to communicate with the chosen MINI dealership to share service requirements, then triggering a message to the driver whenever servicing is required. An integrated Concierge function, providing the user with additional functionalities such as dinner recommendations (again unique-in-class), is also available. A thoroughly modern interpretation of the classical MINI’s intent, the 3 Door Hatch remains the highest-selling MINI variant today. The 3 Door Hatch range commences with the $29,900* Cooper and is augmented by Cooper S ($A39,900*) and John Cooper Works ($A49,900*) variants. Befitting its lively nature, all variants are available with a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. Cooper purchasers can also opt for the new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, an exceptionally lightweight and efficient automatic-shifting gearbox. Stepping up to the MINI Cooper S enables a sports-tuned version of the sevenspeed dual-clutch gearbox, complete with paddle shifters for additional driver control. Opting for this transmission also provides a JCW sports leather steering wheel and the ability to make launch control starts, for impressive standing-start acceleration capability. Top-of-the-range JCW buyers can choose an eight-speed sports automatic gearbox, again with paddle shifters and launch control capability.

The World’s Supreme Small Car Morris Minor by Ray Newell

he postwar Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was one of the most popular British cars. 2018 marks 70 years since the first Minors rolled off the production lines at Cowley in Oxfordshire. In this celebratory publication Ray Newell looks in detail at the development of the wide range of models produced during a production run that spanned twenty two years in the UK. Using mainly contemporary materials covering four decades, he transports the reader back to an era when the pace of life was much slower and the marketing of the vehicles was considerably different to the slick advertising of today. The worldwide appeal of this trendsetting vehicle is examined in the context of the ‘export or die’ mentality that dominated postwar Britain, as are the innovative production methods used to ensure that Morris Motors Ltd lived up to its quality first reputation. Issigonis sketches of the prototype cars, sales brochures, promotional materials, and rare and unusual photographs make this a fascinating book. The continuing appeal of the car voted Britain’s most popular classic in 2016 is examined, as are the factors which continue to attract a new generation of 21st century owners.

Make a good impression Ashburton A

shburton and its surrounding areas will be on show for the rest of the country over the course of the next week and a bit with hundreds of new faces rolling into town for the New Zealand Indoor Bowls national championships. The arrival of the tournament, which will see close to 1000 people spending time and money within our boundaries, is of huge economic benefit to the district and will serve as a perfect platform from which potential future visits can be fostered. Almost everyone who is playing in the tournament will be staying somewhere in the district. They’ll be eating at our restaurants, shopping at our shops and making the most of some of the

other recreational facilities this region has to offer. They’re coming from the far reaches of the deep south and also from the very top of the North Island, as well as everywhere in between, with almost every district in New Zealand represented to some degree by someone competing in the eight days of action. And so it’s important that this district makes a good impression.

Even if half of those who will attend the championships go home and tell their family and friends about their experience in Ashburton and recall it as being great, the opportunity for those people to visit in the future is automatically enhanced. So don’t be afraid to offer a warm welcome to some of the new faces who will be walking the streets over the course of the next week. If they look a little lost, help point them in the right direction. A good impression is invaluable in terms of promoting our region. And, if you get the chance, make sure you pop along to the EA Networks Centre stadium over the course of the next week to check out the action.

With a field of more than 300 lining up on Saturday for the first competition of the week, the singles – the sight of the entire EA Networks floor being filled with mats and bowls will be something to behold as well as the sheer number of people in there playing the sport. Indoor bowls might not seem like a traditional sort of sport to attract the big numbers to the table and like many other minority sports around New Zealand it is struggling for numbers. But those who do play, flourish and take every opportunity they can get to be on the mats whether it’s a casual club night during the week or a national championship like what will be on show in Ashburton at the EA Networks Centre for the next week.

With some incredible characters, and well known names from all different walks of life, there’s some amazing stories to be told by some of those who are in town for the championships and it is the Guardian’s goal to introduce you to some of those faces over the course of the next week. But the main news attractions will come from on the mat with the biggest names in the sport all in attendance as they try to add to their already impressive hauls of national titles and higher accolades. Ranging from youngsters of just 10 and 11 right through to those in their 90s, indoor bowls boasts one of the widest ranging age groups of players of any sport in this country – and in fact, the world.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, June 8, the 159th day of 2018. There are 206 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On June 8, 1968, authorities announced the capture in London of James Earl Ray, the suspected assassin of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On this date: In AD632, the prophet Muhammad died in Medina. In 1042, Edward the Confessor became King of England, beginning a reign of 23 1/2 years. In 1845, Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, died in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1917, during World War One, Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, arrived in Liverpool, England, while en route to France; also, the 1st Expeditionary Division (later the 1st Infantry Division) was organised at Fort Jay in New York. In 1920, the Republican National Convention opened in Chicago; its delegates ended up nominating Warren G. Harding for president. In 1939, Britain’s King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Washington, DC, where they were received at the White House by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1953, the US Supreme Court ruled unanimously that restaurants in the District of Columbia could not refuse to serve blacks. Eight tornadoes struck Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, killing 126 people. In 1967, during the six-day Middle East war, 34 American servicemen were killed when Israel attacked the USS Liberty, a Navy intelligence-gathering ship in the Mediterranean Sea.

No, wait it is you. We have been seeing each other for a long time now and to be honest I thought you would have treated me better than you have in the last few years. The cost of our relationship has increased, but you’ve brought nothing new to our arrangement, in fact you’ve taken things away.

Why is it so expensive???” Receptionist: “We are a fivestar hotel, sir, with a world class private golf course and one of the finest spas in the country.” Husband: “But we didn’t use the golf course, and we didn’t go to the spa!” Receptionist: “I understand, sir, but it was there if you wanted to.” The husband pulls out $100 and hands it to the receptionist. Receptionist: “Excuse me, sir, but you’re $300 short.” Husband: “The cost for sleeping with my wife is $300.” Receptionist: “I did not sleep with your wife!!!” Husband: “I understand, but she was there if you wanted to.” I think it would be great to sit down this Friday night, and book in the Blues versus the Reds Super Rugby game and then skip

New Zealand aircraft manufacturer fined $75,000 By Sam Hurley A New Zealand aircraft manufacturer has been fined nearly $75,000 after indirectly, but knowingly, exporting plane parts to North Korea, breaking strict United Nations sanctions imposed against the rogue nuclear state. New details about what the Hamilton company knew about its plane in North Korea can also now be revealed by the Herald. Pacific Aerospace pleaded guilty in August last year to three breaches of UN sanctions against North Korea and one charge under the Customs and Excise Act. The charges stemmed from a Customs investigation after one of the company’s PAC P-750 XSTOL aircraft was seen and filmed at a North Korean airshow in the city of Wonson displaying the hermit state’s colours during September 2016. It was North Korea’s first-ever public airshow and featured fighter jets and military helicopters. A UN panel of experts also conducted an investigation. Earlier this year, a sentencing hearing was heard for Pacific Aerospace before Judge John Bergseng in the Manukau District Court. Judge Bergseng fined Pacific Aero-

space $74,805 in his reserved judgment on May 29. He described the breaches as “reckless”. The case was the first of its kind in New Zealand and one of only two worldwide of a similar nature, Customs prosecutor Jasper Rhodes said. He asked Judge Bergseng to impose a denunciatory sentence “that goes above and beyond” to send a strong message of deterrence. The UN laws against North Korea ban a wide range of exports and services to the isolationist nation in response to its nuclear

weapons programme. Yesterday Judge Bergseng released his decision. Court documents obtained by the Herald show that in 2014 Pacific Aerospace started a joint venture enterprise in China with Beijing General Aviation Company (Beijing Aviation). The P-750 was sold to Beijing Aviation on June 16, 2015, before being exported from New Zealand on September 12, 2015, and arriving in China on September 18, 2015. However, the plane was onsold to another company, Beijing Freesky Aviation Co. Ltd (Freesky),

in November 2015. Then, on Christmas Day that year, the P-750 was flown into North Korea airspace, where it has remained ever since. But Pacific Aerospace later knew its plane was in the possession of the secret state. On January 6, 2016, Beijing Aviation notified Pacific Aerospace that its aircraft was now North Korea’s, court documents read. Pacific Aerospace also installed tracking data to the plane, which was turned on at all times, and were able to locate the whereabouts of the P-750. A UN Security Council report

and a chain of emails further suggests the New Zealand company knew its plane was in North Korea and had been contacted by the Chinese company for parts and training. Beijing Aviation emailed Pacific Aerospace about parts and requested that North Korean operators should be “trained ASAP for this aircraft operating”. Pacific Aerospace replied that they would co-ordinate training in China. The P-750‘s configuration can be changed and the aircraft used in a range of roles, including passenger/cargo; freight; agriculture, solid and liquid; firefighting; survey, geophysical and photographic; medical evacuation; skydiving; and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). Pacific Aerospace also made an erroneous declaration about accessories that were sent inside the aircraft, which included two medivac stretcher bases and a floor plug designed to attach survey equipment to, court documents show. – NZME

‘KiwiSavers’ missing out on $270 million Last year, more than half a million KiwiSaver members missed out on $270 million in government contributions, and their employers may be partly to blame. A Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC) survey in May of 500 companies showed only 55 per cent of employers paid the 3 per cent on top of wages, 10 per cent paid it out of their employees’ salaries, 20 per cent were ‘not sure’, 10 per cent said ‘it varied’ and 5 per cent offered other pension schemes. David Boyle, education manager at the Commission for Financial Capability, said employers need to be more aware of fulfilling their legal obligation to pay the required 3 per cent employer contribution to KiwiSaver on top of their employees’ wages.

“I think employers need to be more aware of their obligations to their staff. Legislation requires them to pay their 3 per cent on top of wages, and if they want to negotiate to include it in an employee’s package, then in good faith they should increase that person’s salary by 3 per cent,” Boyle said. “If an employee thinks their employer is not meeting their legal obligations, they can complain anonymously to IRD.” Other KiwiSaver members are missing out on the $521 Member Tax Credit contribution from the government by not contributing the minimum amount each year. If a KiwiSaver member does not contribute at least $1042 to their account by June 30 each year, they are not eligible for the

full government contribution of $521. By the end of June 2017, more than 520,000 KiwiSaver members had not contributed anything to their accounts, missing out on $270 million in Member Tax Credit contributions. Boyle says the $521 is “practically free money” to encourage KiwiSaver members to contribute at least $20 a week. “That’s less than the price of a couple of beers, or four lattes per week,” Boyle said. Boyle believes responsible employers should revisit KiwiSaver with their staff each July to make sure they are contributing at least $20 a week so they are eligible for the Member Tax Credit on June 30 the following year. – NZME

Retail workers across the country are protesting against Farmers’ pay performance conditions. Auckland and Wellington workers of the mid-market department store are picketing outside the Queen St and Queensgate stores – the first of a series of organised protests in coming weeks – with the hopes it will encourage the retailer to ditch its archaic pay conditions. Most Farmers workers start on

$16.50 per hour and for most roles the pay scale ends at $17.50. Pay increases from there are only obtained through its performance pay review grading system, First Union says. Workers have presented a petition with more than 600 signatures to management asking for the living wage of $20.55 and an end to performance pay. First Union says its members believe the performance pay system is unfair, with one worker receiving multiple certificates,

glowing reviews praising his customer service skills but still received a C-grade in his pay performance review. The union said more than half of its 870 members – around 30 per cent of Farmers’ workforce, were on or below this grade. First Union retail, finance and commerce secretary Tali Williams said Farmers workers want the retailer, owned by the James Pascoe Group, to phase out the system that holds wages down. – NZME

In brief

■ TRENTHAM

Chasing sentimental win A horse bought over a drink will be the toast of Wellington if he can open his jumping account in Saturday’s K. S. Browne Hurdle (3200m). Notabadrooster will deliver a fitting outcome for part-owner and trainer Christopher Faulkner, who has the fondest of memories of the venue. “I got married at Trentham so it would be a royal result,” he said. “I bought this horse in the pub off a bloke crying into his beer.” Notabadrooster has also had to overcome more than his fair share of adversity to continue his career. “After he won his first three races he did a tendon and that came right and then he had to have bone chips taken out,” Faulkner said. The seven-year-old will be making the fourth appearance of his current campaign tomorrow and heads south off the back of a last-start third in the Waikato Hurdles (3200m). “The track was too good for him at Te Rapa so he went alright,” Faulkner said. “All going well, he’ll probably run in the Wellington Hurdles and then the National.” Notabadrooster is the only horse he is preparing himself. “I’m a drainage contractor so the rooster has to fit in around the jobs,” Faulkner said. “I’ve got two others with Ken Duncan, one with Wayne Hillis and three with Craig Phelan. “I was apprenticed to Baggy Hillis and rode over fences and later on I trained in partnership with Cliff Fenwick when he had Lord Reims.” Lord Reims was an outstanding stayer of the mid-1980s and won the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) and three successive editions of the Adelaide Cup (3200m). - NZME

Dunn fines reduced Father-and-son horsemen Robert and John Dunn have successfully appealed their $7000 apiece fines handed down after a hearing. The Judicial Control Authority heard an appeal in Auckland last month and have issued their decision, reducing the amounts to $3900 for each man. Panelists Murray McKechnie and Geoff Hall found the original panel, in deciding their penalty, used an inappropriate starting point before applying concessions and discounts. - NZHN

Bonds go shopping Promising Southland filly Alfie Romeo has been sold and will do her future racing in West Australia. Greg and Skye Bond have purchased the daughter of Washington VC, who was a last-start winner at Gore for trainer Des Baynes. A couple of starts prior she was a brave fifth behind Dibaba in the Group 2 Southland Oaks final. The Bonds have had good success buying out of Baynes’ stable in recent times, most notably with 2017 Inter Dominion heat winner Galactic Star ($309,662). - NZHN

Targeting the National Top jumper Amanood Lad will open his winter campaign with a run on the flat at Trentham tomorrow. The rising 14-year-old will be ridden by Michelle Northcott in the Fasttrack Insurance Amateur (2200m). “We’d like to run him in the National later on if all goes well,” trainer Paul Nelson said. Amanood Lad has won seven times over the big fences, including the Great Northern Steeplechase, the Wellington Steeplechase, a Pakuranga Hunt Cup and two editions of the McGregor Grant Steeplechase. - NZME Notabadrooster has had his fair share of adversity to overcome in his career.

Caution the wise play, says Connors It won’t be a lack of stamina or conditioning that will have Wise Men Say beaten in tomorrow’s Irvines McGregor Grant Steeplechase, according to owner-trainer Raymond Connors. However, the Wanganui farmer admits 4000m around Trentham’s figure-eight steeplechase course might be a bit sharp for his jumps star. “For him it’s a case of the wetter, the better. He’s not a fast horse but he’s got stamina and that’s his key edge,” Connors said. “But they might just go a bit quick for him around Wellington. “He might need a bit more distance.” Wise Men Say was only warming up at the end of the race when he won last year’s Great Northern Steeplechase (6400m) at Ellerslie and while he has won a steeplechase over 3780m, at Wanganui two years ago, the Yamanin Vital gelding is second-up against a strong line-up of proven bigfence jumpers with 70kg on his back. “He’s well and we’re happy with him and it doesn’t make much

Wise Men Say has the stamina to keep his rivals honest tomorrow.

difference to us that it’s at Trentham and not at Te Rapa,” Connors said. “He’s still got to carry that big

weight and it’s not a bad field.” Sea King, The Big Opal, Just Ishi, Zardetto and Thenamesbond will provide Wise Men Say

with stern opposition on Saturday, but he showed he was on track for a profitable winter with a tenacious maiden hurdle win at Wanganui last month. “We thought he’d run all right. “Being a maiden, you never know but he ran really well and it’s brought him on a lot, though that was a month ago now,” Connors said. “Still, he’s probably better with his races spaced, though he will probably go to Awapuni next week and race there next. He’s up in the weights now so we have to take what we can get and we’re always happy to win any race.” Connors will also produce Our Jackson in the maiden steeplechase at Trentham and Whoshotmymate in the amateur riders’ race. “Our Jackson didn’t go a bad steeplechase in his first run over fences this winter and he’s kept improving so hopefully he can be thereabouts and Whoshotmymate, hopefully he can go well for Emma Glasglow. “He should get through the ground all right.” - NZME

Hurdles next for Max Max will be seen out over the smaller fences next when he runs in the Manawatu ITM Awapuni Hurdles (2900m) on Saturday week. Trainer Raymond Connors has made the switch with the last-start Waikato Steeplechase (3900m) winner to avoid a clash with stablemate Wise Men Say in the Manawatu Steeplechase (4400m). Connors said Max would revert to steeplechasing at his following start in the Animal Health Hawke’s Bay Steeples at Hastings on June 30. - NZME

Tavistock tops sale A colt by New Zealand based sire Tavistock led the way to top Day Two of the Magic Millions Gold Coast National Yearling Sale. Consigned by Amarina Farm, the colt was knocked down to the bid of Jason Abrahams of Champion Thoroughbreds for $250,000. Abrahams said he and trainer John O’Shea had seen the colt late last year as he was being prepared for the Karaka Sales, but after a presale setback he was redirected to the Gold Coast. - NZME

Latrell Mitchell, Tom Trbojevic and Josh Addo-Carr all scored on their Origin debuts as they clinched the series opener 22-12 at the MCG on Wednesday night. None of the 11 were overawed, although Trbojevic and Nathan Cleary will long remember copping huge hits from Greg Inglis. “They are the future of our game and they nailed it,” Fittler said. “I’m excited for them.”- AAP

Julie Devera lunges for a shot during the Mid Canterbury Badminton Club’s Tuesday night session at the EA Networks Centre this week. The Mid Canterbury Badminton Club meets twice a week, for a daytime session and a night-time session, and numbers have grown substantially since they moved from their old home at the Sports Hall, to the EA Networks Centre when it opened. Mid Canterbury Badminton Club president Janine Havis said at the Sports Hall they only had four courts they could use, but at the EA Networks Centre there were eight badminton courts available. The club plays on a Tuesday night from 7pm until 9pm, and on a Thursday from 9.30am until 11.30am. New players are always welcome. PHOTO ERIN TASKER 050618-ET-021

It’s perhaps the biggest lesson a State of Origin rookie can learn – and it comes well after the glow from their Origin debut subsides. Despite having just two days to recover from the biggest match of their careers, Penrith’s young trio are expected to back up against Canberra tonight. While James Maloney has plenty of experience on returning to club land after tasting the Origin highs, Nathan Cleary, Reagan CampbellGillard and Tyrone Peachey are uninitiated. - AAP

Morgan steps up Queensland may be counting on the return of injured superstar Billy Slater for the second Origin clash but Maroons team-mate Valentine Holmes says Michael Morgan provided perfect cover.

■ CRICKET

Hesson leaves a lasting legacy By Andrew Alderson Mike Hesson has left an indelible legacy as the New Zealand cricket coach. When he finishes on July 31, the 43-year-old will have spent six years in charge of the Black Caps. Cricket coaching is what he wanted to do when he left school, and he’s realised that ambition at the highest level, stepping through the ranks of Argentina, Kenya and Otago on the way. The country’s home-and-away competitiveness and consistency reached a rare altitude during his tenure. New Zealand’s first World Cup final appearance in 2015, alongside an unprecedented seven successive undefeated test series (2013-2015) and a record-equalling 13 undefeated tests at home (2012-2016) occurred under his watch. It seems no coincidence the country’s three longest winning streaks across all formats – including the 13-match sequence which ended during the T20 series against Pakistan – have come within the last three years. He has overseen his team’s success by applying a sabermetrics and humility-driven culture. Hesson is already New Zealand’s

longest serving coach extending beyond John Bracewell’s five years and two months in charge from 2003 to 2008. He was contracted until the end of the 2019 World Cup in England, so establishing an organised succession plan leading to that tournament and beyond will be a tricky proposition. In terms of continuity, Black Caps batting coach Craig McMillan, strength and conditioning coach Chris Donaldson and manager Mike Sandle were signed en bloc in May 2016 through until the World Cup. Logic suggests that with a young family, Hesson might opt for seasonal work, following the path trodden by the likes of former New Zealand bowling coach Shane Bond. One year it was estimated he spent more than 300 days away from home. One to two-month postings in the T20 leagues of India, Australia, England or the Caribbean could provide a welcome alternative in the form of significant income streams and less nights in hotel beds. Hesson also debuted as an analyst on Star Sports during the current Indian Premier League and won plaudits – and viral social

Mike Hesson (right) with his skipper Kane Williamson. media postings – for his studio presentations on how to defend against Kane Williamson and by cracking a whip to deconstruct Indian batsman Robin Uthappa’s failure to execute the pull shot. It made a welcome change from television commentary’s penchant for in-jokes and oneupmanship. Hesson also replaced Darren Lehmann as the coaching representative on the International Cricket Council’s Cricket Committee. His appointment suggested he was held in the utmost regard by the sport’s governing body.

The committee is charged with advising the ICC’s chief executives on issues such as the laws of the game, playing conditions, the use of decision-making technology and regulations surrounding illegal bowling actions. However, he has resigned immediately from that role because an active international coach is required. Hesson’s era in charge – supported by a core of outstanding players – has drawn comparisons with the Richard Hadlee-inspired 1980s. His teams played 53 tests, won

21, lost 19 and drawn 13. By generic comparison, the 1980s had 59 tests, of which 17 were won, 15 lost and 27 drawn. In completed ODIs, Hesson has overseen 112 for 65 wins, 46 losses and a tie; the 1980s results were 122 played, 56 won and 66 lost. His wife Kate and daughters Holly and Charlie will be hoping dad spends more time at home in Dunedin. A debate will ensue over the next appointment. Should NZC look overseas for the best candidate, or does a home-grown coach deserve an opportunity? The Hesson tenure provided the stability to groom coaches on the domestic scene, plus a number have spent time in the national set-up to witness the job demands first-hand. McMillan looms as an obvious contender, having been in an assistant role since the West Indies tour in 2014. A host of major association mentors could also make a case. Of the incumbents, Gary Stead (Canterbury), Mark O’Donnell (Auckland), Heinrich Malan (Central Districts), former national selector Bruce Edgar (Wellington) and Gareth Hopkins (in his first T20 attempt with Northern Districts) have each won domestic titles. - NZME

■ GYMNASTICS

Sparkling future for young gymnasts Olympia Gymnastics Sports Ashburton may be one of the district’s newest sporting organisations, but they’re going from strength to strength both on and off the competition floor. A group of their young gymnasts competed in the Canterbury Championships at Lincoln at the weekend and Arnica Smith-Copland was fifth overall and won bronze in the ball and freehand. They also got bronze in the grade two hoop group with Mai-

sy Bowen, Gracie Moses, Hayley Duffell and Marama Harrison, and silver in grade one with Bowen, Moses, Chelsea Sara and Harrison. Greta Bowen also picked up a prize for being the youngest competitor at just four years old. Olympia trains at Ashburton’s EA Networks Stadium under the watchful eye of coach Michelle Smith-Copland and is steadily building in terms of both numbers and equipment. “We also have been lucky

enough to get a grant from The Lions for our floor mats, so we now have a proper rhythmic floor area to train on,” SmithCopland said. They received $8640 towards the purchase of three acromat floor strips to go with the two they already had, and the help was appreciated, Smith-Copland said. It was a busy time for the club, with competition’s most weekends. The weekend before the Canterbury Championships,

Marama Harrison – a six-yearold stage one rhythmic gymnast – won bronze at the Auckland Championships. This weekend they’re off to Wellington and the following weekend they’re in Christchurch competing. Olympia Gymnastics Sports Ashburton will also host their first ever rhythmic competition at the EA Networks Centre on September 23 where they’re hoping to attract gymnasts from Wellington and Auckland.

Veteran halfback Morgan Parra returns from three years in the international rugby wilderness in an experimental France team named to face the All Blacks. Parra is the most experienced player named by coach Jacques Brunel for the first of three tests. The last time Parra ran onto Eden Park was in the 2011 World Cup final loss. Veteran fullback Maxime Medard is back after two years and lock Yoann Maestri ends a year’s absence as Brunel mixed a smattering of veterans among a host of relatively new faces. - AAP

Whitelock to lead ABs Sam Whitelock will play his 97th test and will captain the All Blacks for the second time. His previous test as skipper was in Cardiff last year – a victory however he was yellow carded in that game. Whitelock will be three tests shy of becoming the eighth All Black to crack 100 tests. Whitelock has scored just five tries in his previous 96 tests. - NZME

■ RUGBY

Barrett brothers make rugby history Another barrier broken: It has taken 567 tests, played since 1903, but the All Blacks have finally done it. Beauden, Scott and Jordie Barrett will be the first trio of brothers to start a test match, when they run on to Eden Park against France on Saturday night. The Brownlie, Nicholls and Whitelock families have had three brothers who wore the black jersey, and they are amongst 46 sets of All Black brothers. This is new territory though, although Eden Park has already been a memorable place for the Barretts of Taranaki. It is a bittersweet moment for

Taranaki — New Plymouth will celebrate this history making achievement in a week when their rugby stadium has been condemned for safety issues. Lock Scott and utility back Jordie came off the bench to join No. 10 Beauden when the All Blacks smashed Samoa early last year. Scott also joined his brothers on the field as a 78th minute replacement against the British and Irish Lions in the third test in Auckland last year. Before the Lions series, Beauden talked of how farm life and typical sibling rivalry had hardened their resolve.

Backyard sport often went into extra time, with youngest brother Jordie particularly keen to get the final say. “Mum would call for dinner and it (the game) would always go 10 minutes extra,” Beauden said. “It would be most likely him (Jordie) flying at you, getting up crying and he would come back that little bit harder next time.” The Whitelocks, Sam, George and Luke, are the only recent-era trio of All Black brothers. The Brownlies (Cyril, Maurice, Laurie) and Nicholls (Mark, Ginger, Harold) played nearly a century ago. - NZME The Barrett brothers, Jordie, Beauden and Scott.

■ SPEEDWAY

TRADES, SERVICES

Big day on track Speedway cars will transform themselves in to soccer players for the first time in Ashburton this weekend. Ashburton Speedway is holding its final day of racing for the season on Sunday and club captain Ross Butterick said it’s promising to be a big day of competition, and fun, with a big feature set to be the debut of speedway soccer. Speedway soccer is pretty much what it sounds like. Drivers will manoeuvre their cars around the track to ‘kick’ a big soccer ball around, and while it’s been done elsewhere before it’s the first time it will have been done in Ashburton, Butterick said. It’s set to be such a big day that racing will start at the earlier than usual time of 12.30pm in order to fit everything in. It won’t just be speedway cars on the track either. The Canterbury ATV Club has been invited down to race, with some of their 250cc and senior riders set to have a crack around the track. The day will start off with the usual speedway action, with plenty of support fields, and will finish with the speedway soccer followed by the Westside Hire Demolition Derby. Racing will get under way at 12.30pm and run through until about 4pm, at the Ashburton Speedway on Seafield Road. It’s the final Ashburton Speedway meet of the season, with the season re-starting around September.

In brief The second and final Ashburton Duathlon race of the year will be held at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds on Sunday. Both short course and long course distances are on offer, with the short course consisting of a 2.5km run/walk, a 10km bike and another 1.25km run/walk, while the long course is a 5km run, a 20km bike and a 2.5km run to finish. People can enter as individuals or teams – male, female, mixed or family teams. For more information check ashburtonduathlon. co.nz. Racing starts at 10am.

Friday, June 8, 2018

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Close your eyes and breathe through intense moments of the day so you get internally focused. You can breathe out the stress and breathe in all that’s necessary for an optimum state of mind. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): We’re told over and over that life isn’t fair. And yet, the belief that life should be fair still permeates our thinking. Those who know this is an unjust life will be ever vigilant in working toward fairness. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Commercial purposes serve the client. Artistic purposes serve the muse. It will benefit your soul and your pocket to do a little of each service in the days to come. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Stick your neck out and seek opportunity, because even though it’s fallen in your lap before (and will again), the best options will arise from a concerted effort on your part. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): We’re all just trying to get along using what we have to work with. Perhaps it will help you to think of someone whom you once would have called “disabled” as, more aptly, “differently abled.” VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Metaphorically speaking, instead of short seats or tall seats, consider an adjustable seat. It will cost more, but, adjustable seats will be continually useful. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): When people won’t listen to you, listen to them. They’ll (indirectly and accidentally) tell you where their weaknesses are and what they’re missing. You’ll learn all you need to know to make your next move. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You think you know what they’re trying to say, but you question anyway. Conversely, you don’t expect others to readily understand your message, so you pose it a few different ways, making it bulletproof. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The outcome you’re worried about is unlikely – unless you keep worrying, then your fixation will trick your mind into assuming you want that scenario, and it will do everything in its power to make it so. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There is only one person in your life you can truly change, and that’s you. Even that takes a considerable amount of effort. Remember this fact of life and save yourself some trouble. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): More people getting involved doesn’t necessarily mean more productivity. The work will still only be done by the same people who were doing it before – namely, you and your crew. Seek efficient solutions for a tight team. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): In text, email and conversations that happen in real time, there are no takebacks. Be thoughtful. Consider where it could go wrong. Imagine multiple responses and refutes. Be ready. This one is important.

CHALMERS, Margaret – Please note all late death Six years ago today Ray, notices or notices sent Heather, Linda, Neville and outside ordinary office hours Andrea Chalmers and family must be emailed to: said goodbye to Margaret. On deathnotices@theguardian.co.nz this day we remember one of to ensure publication. Margaret’s favourite poems, Daffodils by William WordsTo place a notice during office hours please contact worth. I wandered lonely as a cloud us on 03 307 7900 That floats on high o'er for more information vales and hills, Any queries When all at once please contact I saw a crowd, 0800 A host, of golden daffodils; ASHBURTON Beside the lake, (0800-274-287) beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Canterbury owned, Ten thousand locally operated saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in Patersons sprightly dance. Funeral Services The waves beside them danced; but they and Ashburton Out-did the sparkling Crematorium Ltd waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, Office and Chapel In such a jocund company: Corner East & Cox I gazed -- and gazed -Streets, Ashburton but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

INTENSITY REWARDED

Ashburton College centre Grace Adams looks for support up court during her side’s win over Rangi Ruru in a SuperNet game in Ashburton on Wednesday night. BY ERIN TASKER

A 39-27 win over Rangi Ruru Girls’ School has given Ashburton College’s netballers a much-needed push up the Canterbury secondary schools’ SuperNet competition leaderboard. Playing at home at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre on Wednesday night, Ashburton College coach Kaye Kennedy said her side overcame a sluggish start to record a good win over a traditionally strong netball school. “We had a pretty slow start, we just need-

ed to lift our intensity a wee bit in that first quarter and they did,” Kennedy said. “They responded to being asked to do that and our second and third quarters were really strong.” Kennedy said her side had a lot of possession in the fourth quarter but didn’t sink as many goals as they would have liked to. Had they converted more of that possession, the margin could have been greater. Heading into the match there were five teams tied at the bottom of the SuperNet points table. That included both Ashburton College

and Rangi Ruru, with Christchurch Girls’ High School (CGHS) at the top and Villa Maria – Ashburton College’s opposition next week – second. “To actually get a win (over Rangi Ruru) just takes the pressure off a little bit,” Kennedy said. “I don’t want to get to the last game of this round and have to win this game to avoid promotion/relegation. “There’s no guarantee that that still won’t happen but getting a win and not giving Rangi a bonus point will help.” This year’s Ashburton College side fea-

tured just two Year 13 students who were part of last year’s team, and included three Year 11 students. “Our success is when we can say that every week that we have done things better than we did the week before,” Kennedy said. Wednesday night’s win over Rangi Ruru was Ashburton College’s second of the first round of SuperNet. Last week they beat St Andrew’s, but lost to Kaiapoi High School, while they also lost to CGHS in the first game of the competition.
