Four-lane axing ‘a slap in the face’ BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton District’s two National MPs Andrew Falloon and Amy Adams are refusing to give up their fight to have the highway between Ashburton and Christchurch extended to four lanes. Axing National’s four lane plan was a slap in the face for regional New Zealand, they said. Yesterday the two MPs presented submissions in support of the fourlane highway to Parliament’s transport and infrastructure sub-committee and produced hard-hitting facts to support their cause. The Ashburton District’s diverse and growing economy and the growth in Timaru’s Prime Port meant traffic flows were huge along that stretch of highway and that was impacting on all road users, Falloon said. Add to that the increasing number of people commuting between Christch-

urch and Ashburton and ever increasing numbers of tourists and the two-lane highway was under extreme pressure, he said. “This is a critical transport route and this road has become far more dangerous over the past decade. I have growing numbers of people saying to me they no longer feel safe travelling the road. It’s one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the country and this is why National wants four lanes.” There were 19 fatalities and 109 people seriously injured on that section of road over the past eight years, he said. Labour’s changed road funding focus meant the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) had to scale back a lot of its state highway upgrades but the option they had come up with for the Ashburton to Christchurch stretch was totally inadequate, Falloon said. Last week NZTA released a draft proposal to retain the highway at two lanes

but with additional safety measures, including the construction of a median barrier to keep the two streams of traffic separate, making it clear a four-lane highway was off the agenda, he said. “There are a huge number of safety issues around this. Slapping a median barrier on a road that’s decades old will create additional problems. This is a big and very important traffic corridor and the existing road is becoming a handbrake on Canterbury’s growth.” Emergency vehicles would struggle when it came to overtaking other traffic and if access to some side roads was closed, a call-out could be minutes longer. And for cyclists the highway would become even more dangerous with a median barrier as there would be limited room for overtaking, he said.

New era of gender equality in law firms BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton lawyer Jane ArgyleReed knows what a challenge it can be to balance work and family. For that reason she is right behind values represented in the New Zealand Law Society’s Gender Equality Charter, which has been picked up by dozens of firms in the country since its launch earlier this year. Her firm Argyle Welsh Finnigan is the first in Mid Canterbury to jump on board, keen to support the goals of improving diversity, inclusion and increasing the retention of female lawyers. “It’s about making the workplace a better workplace for women, and it’s about balancing work with family commitments for both men and women,” ArgyleReed said. As well as being a partner at the firm, Argyle-Reed and her husband farm locally while raising their children aged seven and five. “It’s a busy balancing act,” she said. For a firm which already supported the ideals behind gender equality, it seemed a natural progression to sign up to the charter. In her case she had been able to start with part-time hours following maternity leave before gradu-

Argyle Welsh Finnigan lawyers Joseph Shaw and Jane Argyle-Reed are fully on board with a new era of gender equality in the legal profession. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 071118-SS-0009 ally getting back to full-time. Two of the five partners at Argyle Welsh Finnigan are female, and overall only six of the approximate 30 people who work there are male. Among commitments the firm has had to make in order to be eligible to sign up, is to make sure women represent at least 30 per

cent of the professionals to whom clients are referred. Additionally it had to ensure workers were able to remotely access the firm’s computer system, and deliver training to raise awareness about any unconscious gender bias they may have. Fellow partner in the firm, Joseph Shaw, said he equally ap-

preciated the values represented by the charter. He is a dad of five aged four to 12, including three daughters. “Just to know they will be able to make their own way based on their talents and abilities and hard work. It’s comforting to me to know that these sorts of changes are being made.”

Service to remember loved ones who have died A special service is being held in the chapel at the Ashburton Hospital later this month for people who have had a connection with the palliative care team. The Light up a Life service is to remember loved ones who have died. Palliative care nurse specialist Jane Smith said it was a non-religious service for families whose

loved ones had been under the care of the palliative team in the past two years. The team had sent invitations to families for the service last year but decided to open it to the public this year. Smith said it was acknowledgement that loved ones were not forgotten. She said it also gave families

who had been part of the palliative care system a chance to meet other families who had travelled the same path. “You get in a bubble and it’s a good chance for families to have an informal chat, especially when younger people die.” Smith said it was also good for palliative care team nurses to be able to catch up with families, as

patients passed out of their care if they moved to rest homes. The memorial service has been organised with the help of the Ashburton Cancer Society. The service will be in the hospital chapel on November 27, with Carol Gunn officiating. It will begin at 2pm and be followed by afternoon tea in the hospital cafeteria.

Four lane axing ‘a slap in the face’ From P1 At the Selwyn end of the highway, Adams said, the area had undergone, and continued to undergo extremely rapid population growth with significant numbers of people living in one area and travelling the highway to work in another. “These people expect to be able to travel easily but the highway is becoming more and more congested. There’s a bottleneck around the Rakaia River Bridge, one of the longest and the narrowest on State Highway One. Any disruption there and the highway is shut down,” Adams said. The highway was the major route between Rolleston’s I-Zone and Timaru’s Prime Port and traffic volumes were increasing at a rapid rate, she said. During question and answer time yesterday afternoon, Falloon asked Transport minister Phil Twyford why the government was proposing to install a median barrier on the existing, narrow, two lane highway when it was now the second most dangerous stretch of highway in New Zealand. Rather than give reasons, Twyford replied that he assumed NZTA would make the most economical, rational and best safety decisions when it invested in New Zealand’s transport system. In January Falloon launched a petition to support his call for the four-lane highway. This attracted well over 1000 signatures and was presented to parliament in June. Support for a four-lane highway is growing around the Ashburton District and Falloon is calling on mayor Donna Favel and her councillors to support the four lane project. ”It would be useful for council to add its weight to this, we need all parties in local government and central government to get behind this,” he said. The select committee will now discuss and evaluate the submission and will gather information on traffic flows and projected traffic flows.

Huge storage lake to benefit BCI farmer shareholders The Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation Scheme has finished building its new storage pond near Methven and the scheme’s farmer shareholders are set to benefit. The $11 million pond will hold water pumped under consent from the Rakaia River and release it to farmers during times of peak demand. BCI general manager John Wright said the 1.5 million cubic metre Akarana storage pond was another string to the scheme’s bow and part of its overall vision to sustainably manage irrigation water. Lake Coleridge is used for BCI storage with the water released on demand into the Rakaia River, where it is pumped up by Trustpower at its Highbank power station and injected into the tail end of the Rangitata Diversion Race for distribution and now storage. Wright said the Akarana pond, already operational, would improve the scheme’s operational efficiency and reduce reliance on on-demand pumping. The savings for farmer shareholders would be in the longterm through reduced fixed annual costs. It was also a feat of engineering, he said. “Its sheer size is impressive and state of the art construction uses world-class concept design,

“Unfortunately the large body of water cannot be used for recreational purposes due to the liner being vulnerable to damage and difficult to climb when wet.” The name of the pond, Akarana, is a reference to the name of

i-SITE decision a long time coming BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Striking a deal that will bring new life into Ashburton’s town centre i-SITE is taking longer than it took to close the building and dismantle its business. The council is in discussions with a group known as the Ashburton Tourism and Information Hub, made up of local entrepreneurs led by Tony Todd and David West. Exactly what their business proposal is, is still under wraps. The group was one of several making a pitch to lease the East Street building and presenta-

Recent discussions held with representatives from the council, the Ashburton Information Hub Committee and Experience Mid Canterbury, the existing tenant, had been “very productive,” he said. “We are happy to report that council is making progress in the evaluation and review of Ashburton Information Hub Committee’s proposal to establish a new Ashburton Information and Tourism Hub, or ‘Ashburton Info Hub’ at the former i-SITE building.” Riach said there was strong interest in the Info Hub proposal

tions were made to the council’s finance and business support committee last month during an in-committee meeting. Council chief executive Hamish Riach said discussions on the proposals were held in-committee due to the commercially sensitive nature of the proposals and a request for confidentiality from the Information Hub Committee. In a press release yesterday he indicated the council was working with the hub group, but it was unclear whether or not this group would be picking up the building’s lease.

from Experience Mid Canterbury, the organisation currently working in part of the building. “We are collectively working to find common ground to benefit the Ashburton area,” he said. The council is now further exploring the Information Hub option and as part of the ongoing process that group could now provide the council with additional information, Riach said. The i-SITE was closed on the back of rising costs and ongoing failure to make a profit. The board of Experience Mid Canterbury opted to close the business late

last year. This was done in spite of strong public pressure for it to remain open, but the Ashburton District Council-funded organisation was told it could get better value for its council grant than using a portion of this to fund an i-SITE. The i-SITE may have closed in October last year, but the desire to see an information centre in some form reopen in the building remains. The Hub group have previously said they wanted to have their business up and running as quickly as possible.

■ CLIMATE CHANGE

District dragging the chain By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton may have stood alone in refusing to sign a national climate change declaration, but it was important it moved with haste to develop a climate change declaration tailor-made for the Ashburton District, says councillor Leen Braam. He joins fellow councillor Selwyn Price in urging both the council and the district to start taking seriously the implications of changing weather patterns. “We can put our heads in the sand, but it will happen. You can say we don’t have a problem – open your eyes, we do.” Unfortunately there seemed to be a “rural versus urban” attitude to climate change but town and country were intertwined in cre-

ating the problem and they had to be intertwined in finding solutions, Braam said. Urban people might accuse farmers of pollution but farmers were making efforts to overcome this. Town people were also polluters from vehicle emissions, fires and basic things such as wastewater from houses, Braam said. “Let’s not blame each other, let’s work together in a positive way. I don’t care if we have a national or a local declaration as long as we have one.” Ashburton was a global town, a global district. The district might be a significant exporter to many countries, but if those markets were badly affected by climate change they might no longer want product out of the district. The

impact of that would be significant and would have been triggered by the wider impact of climate change, he said. “We are part of the world, we don’t live in isolation.” Urban or rural, people needed to take a longer view of climate change and realise the changes they made today were for the future, they were about leaving the planet a better place for future generations, Braam said. A plan for the changes climate change would bring could only be built and accepted by the community if all sectors worked together, and the district needed to move with urgency on this, he said. Council staff have been requested to prepare a draft climate change declaration but work on this has yet to start.

Suspicious fire Ashburton firefighters say a fire in a cabbage tree just before midnight on Wednesday was suspicious and will be investigated. Fire chief Alan Burgess said firefighters found the tree alight at the rear of a property on Princes Street after a 111 call at 11.44pm. “There was no good reason for it to have been a fire so at this stage it is classes as suspicious.” The fire at the base of the tree was extinguished.

Infectious diseases Campylobacteriosis was the most common notifiable diseases in the Ashburton District reported to Canterbury Community and Public Health in October, with six cases. Four cases of pertussis were reported, two of cryptosporidiosis and one each of gastroenteritis, salmonellosis, VTEC/STEC infection and yersiniosis.

Decision on college rebuild in new year By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The rebuild of Ashburton College’s elderly classrooms has been on the drawing board for several years and the project’s future is now in Government hands. College principal Ross Preece has been working with the Ministry of Education’s property advisors on the rebuild and said what happened next was up to Cabinet. “We know we’ve cleared the ministry’s hurdles, we’ve done all we can and it’s up to Cabinet to decide how many dollars they’ll give us,” he said. The ministry could recommend a scale of work and put a dollar value around this, but the power lay with Cabinet to say yes, or no, Preece said. “The good news is that we will know the decision early in the new year and if there is a significant rebuild with large dollars around it the minister will announce it.” Most parts of the college were

In brief

Four people have been arrested and drugs, firearms and cash seized following a search warrant at an address in Tauranga. The search warrant was carried out by Tauranga police, helped by the Armed Offenders Squad, at an address on State Highway 2 in Wairoa yesterday. Three men aged 35, 28 and 25 were arrested, as well as a 30-year-old woman. They are due to appear in the Tauranga District Court today for a variety of offences including unlawful possession of pistols, a rifle and ammunition, possession of methamphetamine, cannabis and a non-approved psychoactive product for supply. - NZME

shabby and run down and the college’s dilemma now was whether to spend money on upgrading those blocks if they were to come down in five years, he said. Upgrade work will be carried out on the school’s mini-gym but work on the auditorium will be deferred until the outcome of the

building proposal is known. “We’re having to do selective work until we know but drab, grey concrete blocks might be fine in East Berlin but not in a modern learning environment.” In terms of a time frame, Preece anticipates that if funds for a rebuild are approved, the ‘new’ col-

lege is unlikely to be completed before 2021. The college was at 100 per cent capacity in terms of classroom space but it was fortunate in having plenty of green spaces and the old netball court area where prefab classrooms could be placed during a rebuild, he said.

A police officer who drove at speeds of up to 200km/h during a pursuit that led to a crash killing two people committed dangerous and unjustified driving, the police watchdog has ruled. The police handling of the Auckland chase on October 23 last year – which left two people dead when the car being pursued crashed into a tree – has been faulted in a report released yesterday by the Independent Police Conduct Authority. The IPCA says the police officer should have faced a criminal investigation - but police say it’s now too late to consider charges. - NZME

■ MT SOMERS SPRINGBURN SCHOOL

Students jump their way to fitness and a title By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

For 18 years JUMP JAM has seen thousands of Kiwi kids dancing their way to fitness, and this year, students at Mt Somers Springburn School proved they’re the top aerobics exponents in the South Island. The MSS crew took on the South Island’s best in Christchurch on Saturday and won with their high energy performance to a song from the Great Gatsby, A Little Party Never Killed Nobody. For teacher Michaela George and her 11 students the win was a huge victory. Not only did they receive high praise from the judges and a large silver trophy, they also had the satisfaction of beating many teams from much larger schools. The win was a big reward for the students who had practised daily leading up to the event, George said. “It was our first time in the competition and it was a very cool experience for everyone.” A second placing in an earlier event had inspired the students to try for a place in the South Island championships and they qualified via a videoed performance. On Saturday, competing in the Year 7 and 8 section, they put their hours of practice to the test and turned on a slick and polished performance that won the judges’

the event. Her efforts also won an excellence award for costumes. Following this year’s success, she anticipates there will be fierce competition between students to gain a place in next year’s team.

the programme can enter teams in interschool competitions. It is a fusion of dance and fitness disciplines and is now adopted by 90 per cent of New Zealand’s primary schools.

Domain welcomes cultural garden The soil has been carefully prepared and Ashburton’s first cultural themed garden is ready for planting. Today the first plants will be put in place to create, with flowers, the Om symbol in what will become a special place for Ashburton’s Indian community. The symbol will be planted using the marigold flower, which is of great importance and prominence in the Indian culture, often used in special occasions and celebrations. A border of verbena

and lobelia flowers in purples and blues will complement the symbol planting, helping to recognise the Fijian Indian influence across the culture. Ashburton District Council open spaces team has worked closely with the Ashburton Indian Multicultural Trust to design the garden and to raise seedlings to recreate the Om symbol in the triangle flowerbed near the waterwheel and duck pond in the domain. In Hinduism and Buddhism

the ‘Om’ symbol is a sound and is a powerful mantra often used in meditation, yoga and other spiritual practices and is of great importance to the Indian culture. The cultural themed garden is a Welcoming Communities initiative and recognises the district’s growing cultural and ethnic diversity, open spaces manager David Askin said. “We are very proud to be working with the Ashburton Indian Multicultural Trust on this garden. The domain is a great place

for people to relax, spend time with friends and family and enjoy the gardens. Naturally, those new to our district have embraced the domain in the same way as residents who’ve been here for many years. It’s great that we can showcase different cultures and let the people that live here see their culture reflected around them in one of the district’s most popular sites,” he said. The project had been challenging for us in terms of design, but it had also raised awareness of

other cultures, Askin said. “As this themed garden is a seasonal planting, we hope that there may be an opportunity each year to work with different cultural groups in the district to design and showcase a themed cultural garden,” he said. Planting began today and will be completed tomorrow morning prior to the official community opening at 11.30am with a free barbecue. If very wet, the event will not be held.

■ SROUBEK DECISION

Lees-Galloway under pressure Under pressure Immigration Minister Iain-Lees Galloway admits he did not read the whole immigration file before making his controversial decision to grant residency to Karel Sroubek. And the decision took him “within about an hour or so”. But he denied he was being sloppy and said he followed the proper process. “I read various aspects of the full file. I didn’t rely solely on the summary. This is the usual process for these decisions. “I took much, much longer on this decision than I have on other decisions, and I’m following exactly the process that I inherited from the previous minister.” Lees-Galloway has previously said that the decision was one of the hardest he has had to make. National’s immigration spokesman Michael Woodhouse, a former immigration minister, said it was an “extraordinary development” about an arrogant and reckless minister. “A case that the Prime Minister described as needing careful consideration and deeply complex was decided possibly within minutes, probably at most within

an hour. “This was terrible decision made by an arrogant minister who didn’t look at his papers properly ... It’s reckless, frankly.” He said the minister might not read the whole file and rely only on the summary if the decision was about upholding deportation liability. “When consideration is given to suspending or cancelling deportation liability, a deeper analysis is required. On a complex case like this, it would be absolutely vital. That’s what the minister said he had done, but we now know that to be patently false.”

He said Lees-Galloway was unfit to be a minister. “He is solely responsible for this debacle. No one else.” Lees-Galloway said he has looked at the whole file since the original decision. “I’m still confident that, given the information I had available to me at the time, I was able to make a decision ... I was thorough in making that decision.” A further allegation emerged yesterday that Sroubek may have threatened his estranged wife. In Parliament yesterday, National’s deputy leader Paula Ben-

nett asked the Prime Minister whether Police or Immigration New Zealand had a phone record of threats made by Sroubek from prison to his estranged wife on May 3 this year. “Are they considering that as part of their investigation?” she asked. Minister Chris Hipkins, responding on behalf of the Prime Minister, said the investigation would look at all the information Lees-Galloway was presented with when he made his decision, and whether that was complete. Under questioning from National, Lees-Galloway confirmed he met his officials at 4.30pm on October 19 and made his decision that day. Earlier yesterday, Sroubek released a statement through his lawyer, saying that “much of what has been said about me and my circumstances does not present the true picture”. He said he had nothing to do with an alleged burglary at a $2.3m Remuera house that took place a few days after he placed a caveat on it. On Wednesday during Question Time, Paula Bennett asked

the Prime Minister whether the Immigration NZ investigation would look into the alleged burglary. “The National deputy leader, by her questions in Parliament, has implied I may have had something to do with an alleged burglary of a property I have an interest in,” Sroubek said. “The allegation I was involved in that burglary is completely without foundation. I was not involved in the burglary.” It was also revealed this week that 2010 court documents showed that a man and his family were placed in a police witness protection programme because of alleged actions by Sroubek and two other men. Sroubek said he was acquitted in that trial. “Comments made about that case in the media are not balanced, and in particular do not reflect that the key prosecution witness’ evidence was discredited.” Sroubek said he would make no more comment until Immigration NZ finished its investigation into his case. - NZME

■ LIME E-SCOOTERS

Electric scooters see 89 ACC claims made in 25 days It has been 25 days since Lime E-Scooters were launched in Christchurch and Auckland and the latest ACC claims show there have been 89 injuries by electric scooters in that time. But claims for foot powered scooters in the same time period is 567. Since the launch of the Lime E-Scooters on October 14 there have been 89 ACC claims for electric scooters. Fifty-seven of those claims came from Auckland and 32 claims were from Christchurch city. The most common type of injury was by puncture/laceration, soft tissue injury and fracture/dislocation. In that same time period non-electric scooters accounted for 567 claims across Auckland, 171, Christchurch, 61, and the rest of New Zealand, 337. It comes as the San Francisco based company Lime plans to roll out a $3m safety campaign that would see 25,000 helmets given for free to applicants. “The first 25,000 riders to sign the pledge will receive free Lime helmets in the mail for showing their support. “Over the next six months, we will be distributing a total of over 250,000 free helmets to riders across the globe.” By signing the pledge Lime riders agreed to ride responsibly at all times, wear a helmet while riding, abide by all traffic laws and speed limits, ride only within designated areas such as streets and bike lanes. Also to “park properly out of the way of pedestrian walkways, service ramps and metro stops and be aware of automobiles, pedestrians and fellow riders”. Auckland Mayor Goff requested a memo from council on the safety and rules of the new e-scooters after councillor Christine

The memo said council should “proactively” gather data at peak times could be a quick way to get “a better understanding of the nature and the scale of the problem”. In the first week Lime e-scooters were trialled in Auckland and Christchurch, 700 scooters were ridden 40,000 times. “As with the emergence of other modes,” said the memo, “experience shows there are initial peaks in safety incidents”.

■ UNITED STATES

White House bans reporter The White House yesterday suspended the press pass of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after he and President Donald Trump had a heated confrontation during a news conference. They began sparring after Acosta asked Trump about the caravan of migrants heading from Latin America to the southern US border. When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Trump said, “That’s enough!” and a female White House aide unsuccessfully tried to grab the microphone from Acosta. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement accusing Acosta of “placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern”, calling it “absolutely unacceptable”. The interaction between Acosta and the intern was brief, and Acosta appeared to brush her arm as she reached for the microphone and he tried to hold onto it. “Pardon me, ma’am,” he told her. Acosta tweeted that Sanders’ statement that he put his hands on the aide was “a lie”. Journalists assigned to cover the White House apply for passes that allow them daily access to press areas in the

Breaking Bad movie Breaking Bad may have had its finale in 2013, but Variety has confirmed that series creator Vince Gilligan is working on a new film with ties to the beloved series. Gilligan is working on a two-hour film, though whether it’s destined for multiplexes or television is unclear. Details are sparse, with no information on what shape the movie would take – a prequel like Better Call Saul or something else – or whether any of Breaking Bad’s stars will return. The Albuquerque Journal includes a logline stating the film “tracks the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom”. - AAP

President Donald Trump speaks to CNN journalist Jim Acosta during a news conference in the East Room of the White House. West Wing. White House staff decide whether journalists are eligible, though the Secret Service determines whether their applications are approved. The post-midterm election news conference marked a new low in the president’s relationship with journalists. “It’s such a hostile media,”

Trump said after ordering reporter April Ryan of the American Urban Radio Networks to sit down when she tried to ask him a question. His exchanges with CNN’s Acosta and NBC News’ Peter Alexander turned bitterly personal, unusual even for a forum where the nature of their

jobs often put presidents and the press at odds. “I came in here as a nice person wanting to answer questions, and I had people jumping out of their seats screaming questions at me,” said Trump, who talked for nearly 90 minutes despite the run-ins with reporters. - AP

■ INDONESIA

Red bull drawn in cave 40,000 years ago Scientists have found the oldest known example of an animal drawing: a red silhouette of a bull-like beast on the wall of an Indonesian cave. The sketch is at least 40,000 years old, slightly older than similar animal paintings found in famous caves in France and Spain. Until a few years ago, experts believed Europe was where our ancestors started drawing animals and other figures. But the age of the drawing reported Wednesday in the journal Nature, along with previous discoveries in Southeast Asia, suggest that figurative drawing appeared in both continents about the same time. The new findings fuel discussions about whether historical or evolutionary events prompted this near-simultaneous “burst of human creativity,” said lead author Maxime Aubert, an archaeologist and geochemist at Griffith University in Australia. The remote limestones caves on Borneo have been known to contain prehistoric drawings since the 1990s. To reach them, Aubert and his team used machetes to hack through thick jungle in a verdant corner of the island. Strapping on miners’ helmets to illuminate the dark-

Scientists say the red silhouette of a bull-like beast is the oldest known example of animal art. ness, they walked and crawled through miles of caves decorated with hundreds of ancient designs, looking for artwork that could be dated. They needed to find specific mineral deposits on the drawings to determine their age with technology that measures decay of the element uranium. “Most of the paintings we actually can’t sample,” said Aubert. Aubert and his fellow researchers reported in 2014 on cave art from the neighbouring Indonesian island of Sulawesi. They dated hand stencils, created by blow-

ing red dye through a tube to capture the outline of a hand pressed against rock, to almost 40,000 years ago. Now, with the Borneo cave art, the scientists are able to construct a rough timeline of how art developed in the area. In addition to the bull, which is about 1.5 metres wide, they dated red- and purple-coloured hand stencils and cave paintings of human scenes. After large animal drawings and stencils, “It seems the focus shifted to showing the human world,” Aubert said. Around 14,000 years ago, the cave-dwellers began to regu-

larly sketch human figures doing things like dancing and hunting, often wearing large headdresses. A similar transition in rock art subjects happened in the caves of Europe. “That’s very cool, from a human point of view,” said Peter Veth, an archaeologist at the University of Western Australia, who was not involved in the study. “People adopted similar strategies in different environments as they became more modern.” The island of Borneo was still connected to mainland Southeast Asia when the first figurative drawings were made about 40,000 years ago – which is also about the time that the first modern humans arrived in Europe. The earliest drawings of animals in the French cave of Chauvet have been dated to about 33,500 to 37,000 years ago. Whether new waves of people migrating from Africa brought the skills of figurative cave painting with them, or whether these arts emerged later, remains unclear. Scientists have only a partial record of global rock art. The earliest cave etchings have been found in Africa and include abstract designs, like crosshatches, dating to around 73,000 years ago. - AP

Broods to tour with Swift Taylor Swift is one pop superstar who gives her support acts the full rock-star treatment. Kiwi duo Broods were handpicked by Swift to open the Australian and New Zealand legs of her Reputation tour after she checked out their show in Los Angeles. Most stadium-worthy artists place heavy restrictions on how much stage they can use for their set but Swift told the Kiwi brother-and-sister duo to shake it off and enjoy the experience of performing on her massive catwalks and wings to more than 50,000 people. “She’s more like ‘What do you need from me to make your show dope?’” says Caleb Nott, one half of the duo. - NZME

Kylie to tour Australia Kylie Minogue is bringing her Golden tour to Australia early next year. Minogue will perform a series of arena shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in March as well as outdoor concerts in Perth, and the Hunter Valley in NSW as well as Mt Cotton, south of Brisbane. Her 14th album, Golden, has become her sixth chart-topper in the UK, a place she’s called home since the early 1990s. Joining Kylie on her Australian tour will be close friend, Scissor Sisters’ frontman Jake Shears. Minogue last toured Australia in 2015 with her Kiss Me Once show. - AAP

The heat IS ON

Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

Chilli seem to generate a mass following all over the world. Did you know right here in NZ, we have our own chilli eating competition and hot sauce festival? Much like coriander, chilli also really polarises people. They either love it or won’t touch it. When it comes to chilli, I’m definitely in ‘team heat’ and love a good chilli in my cooking or even on its own. Chilli heat is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The higher the rating the hotter the chilli. Trained testers dissolve dried chilli in alcohol and sugar water to measure its pungency. They then sample the mixture and dilute it until they can’t detect any more heat. Now I love chilli, but I’m not sure if I’d like this job.

The current champion tag for the world’s hottest chilli goes to the Carolina reaper. It has a little grim reaper shaped tail and clocks in at 1,600,000 SKU. To give some perspective – the friendly jalapeno measures around 5,000 SKU. Eating hot chilli is not for the faint hearted. People often find them to taste initially sweet, with an after burn that can last up to one hour in unsuspecting victims. And as a general rule, the smaller the pod the hotter the taste. Chillies are a spring and summer plant. The first varieties ready right now at Awapuni are the jalapeno and red hot chilli. In November you’ll see the habanero red, bhut jolokia (ghost pepper) and the jalapeno red flame seedlings become available. You’ll have to wait until Christmas time to get your hands on a Carolina reaper plant. Here’s our list of chillies in order of hottest (starting with the hottest of the hot) – Carolina reaper, bhut jolokia, habanero red, red hot pepper, jalapeno red flame and jalapeno. Awapuni also have two mixed variety bundles of chilli this year (thanks to customer requests). The medium hot mix has

a combination of the latter three chilli and in the hot mix you’ll find our hottest three chillies. Planting wise, chillies are fairly easy to grow. They like a well-drained, sheltered and sunny spot in your garden that is very similar to where you’d plant your tomatoes, capsicums, basil and parsley. If you’ve got space near any bee-friendly plants like oregano and lavender, plant your chillies there to help with pollination. Increase the quality of your soil by adding a good general fertiliser and some compost. Sheep pellets are also great to mix in with the compost, and act as a slow release fertiliser. Chilli plants can get quite big, so plant your seedlings around 30 to 50cm apart. But they don’t actually need a lot of space, and grow well in pots as well. Water straight after planting, but after that they only need attending to every few days. Avoid wetting the leaves to prevent the spread of any diseases. And, once your chillies have developed, you might like to water them sparingly (depending on your taste buds) as less watering will make the fruit

hotter. In around two to three months from planting, you’ll start to see some spicy life. First flowers appear then, after being pollinated, they turn into fruit. If you’re unsure whether your plants have been pollinated simply dab a small paint brush in each flower to help spread the pollen around. Remember as with many fruit plants, cut your chillies rather than pulling them off. This encourages more fruit to grow. And what many people don’t realise is that a whole chilli freezes really well – lasting up to six months in the freezer. When you’re ready to cook with them, use an extra sharp knife and chop up your chilli whilst frozen. With fresh chilli about $2 each in the supermarket right now, it sure makes sense to freeze them. Chillies are perennial plants meaning they can last a few seasons. Once your plant has finished fruiting, simply prune back by about a third, and remove any dead branches. They don’t cope well with frosts. If you did plant them in pots, move them to warmer ground for winter. Either indoors, or higher to the deck or under the eaves of your house.

For the discerning driver

n black with graphite wheels, the Volkswagen Arteon looks a little like something that you’d find parked in Bruce Wayne’s driveway. Aerodynamic contours, frameless windows and a striking overall design – its allure endures far beyond the first encounter. The Arteon is set to thrill with its turbocharged engine delivering 206kW with 350Nm torque. The coupe is not only great to look at, it boasts exceptional performance, with an acceleration time of 5.6 seconds from 0–100km/h. The powerful engine is coupled with a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG) and 4MOTION drivetrain. DCC Adaptive Chassis Control is a standard feature that offers stability at high speed and every standard model is fitted with 19-inch alloys. Advanced innovative driver assistance and convenience systems optimise the connection between comfort and driving dynamics. The second generation Emergency Assist works in conjunction with Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to offer more safety behind the wheel. If the driver has a health event, the system not only slows the car down but also steers it into the slow lane, eventually bringing the vehicle to a stop and activating the hazard lights. Enter the exquisite interior of the Arteon and it’s clear to see, luxury and intelligent design continue throughout the cockpit. The standard ergoComfort seats in Nappa leather offer exceptional comfort for any journey. The innovative Active Info Display with a 12.3 inch TFT screen with customisable views can be tailored to the driver’s preferences.

The upgraded Discover Pro 9.2-inch glass covered touchscreen is the infotainment and navigation system for the especially discerning driver, and with innovative gesture control as standard, the multimedia can be controlled with a single hand movement.

nMotion Ventures, Jaguar Land Rover’s venture capital fund, this week announced its investment in Arc, which unveiled ‘Vector’ – the world’s first fully-electric motorcycle with Human Machine Interface (HMI). Arc Vector is the most advanced electric motorcycle ever brought to market, using exotic materials, thoroughbred componentry and cutting-edge architecture, wrapped in a futuristic body. The investment from InMotion Ventures will support Arc with its global ambition for Vector to be the cleanest, safest, and most fulfilling motorcycle on the road. The Arc show stand will showcase the brand, along with the bike itself and its ground breaking intelligent haptic ride-wear and connected Heads-Up Display helmet. The Arc team consists of industry-leading professionals, coming together to develop an all-new experience on two wheels. Mark Truman, Founder & CEO, Arc, said: “Our aim has always been to bring technology, performance and safety together to create an entirely new two-wheeled experience. “Vector isn’t just a motorbike; it’s the world’s first fully-electric café racer, it’s an innovative heads-up display helmet and it’s a sensory riding suit – all working in unison to create an experience package like no other.”

The Arteon is fitted with a high level of standard features positioning it as the new premium offering of the Volkswagen range. Volkswagen General Manager Tom Ruddenklau commented; “Since we first laid eyes on the Arteon we knew Volkswagen

were creating something quite special that will appeal to a wide range of customers here in New Zealand. At the heart of Volkswagen’s DNA is world class engineering that is accessible to many and has been recognised as the ‘Top Executive Car’ here in New Zealand.”

The end of range anxiety A

t most Friday night pub sessions (to which I ride my not E-bike) discussions about cars utes, and increasingly so said E-bikes and EVs are common. My suggestion that currently hybrids are more appropriate than pure EVs for most Mid-Cantabrians who may be considering some method of electrification to reduce their fossil fuel use and cost thereof, promotes some interesting comments. Particularly so from my mate Graeme Church who is firmly of the view that carrying around a petrol motor/gearbox and tank of petrol in addition to an electric motor/battery pack is just not sensible. Well I agree that in certain circumstances with the currently affordable pure EVs he is right. Such as if you are just doing round town running or doing a daily return commute between the likes of Ashburton to Methven. But you still need to be regular and dedicated with plugging in to recharge the batteries. Otherwise there’s always the question of both that dreaded range anxiety, and the reality of really needing another vehicle for long journeys. Both which of course you can overcome, but only by buying a much more expensive EV. For example the 64kWh, 450km capable Hyundai Kona Electric costs from $73,990 and similar range Tesla S60 from $122,300. If you can’t do so, then with current crop of “affordable” EV’s available, even a drive to Oamaru will mean twiddling one’s thumbs en route during the necessary plugs-in to recharge. And while some maybe happy to enjoy

the scenery or read a book, others during this enforced downtime will most likely indulge in some retail therapy. And possibly spend more than what’s being otherwise saved on fuel! Which is where Kia’s Niro EX SUV currently costing less than $40,000, and with a claimed fuel use figure of 3.8L/100km comes to the party. This nicely-styled and packaged compact SUV (it’s shorter than and sits a little lower than its Sportage sibling) which can seat five comfortably, hold 427 litres of luggage and looks and drives just like a usual petrol SUV. It use Hyundai/Kia’s dedicated Hybrid/ EV platform and advanced, fuel saving technology, comprising of a 1.6 litre petrol engine and a very smooth operating 32kW electric motor/hybrid system which sits neatly between the petrol motor. This allows the full outputs of both the engine and electric motor to be transferred in parallel through the double-clutch, 6-speed auto. The combined petrol/electric power output is 104kW, with maximum torque, a rather impressive, 265Nm. The 1.56kWh lithium-ion battery pack sits beneath the back seat alongside the 45litre petrol tank. Leaving the auto in D is fine for most every-day, most economical driving, but then selecting the S mode means the battery’s power is also accessed for maximum acceleration and 0-100kmh in just under 10 seconds is possible. Meanwhile the fuel consumption remains in the low fours. Inside is the well laid out cabin, which – except for the economy/hybrid gauge in place of a rev counter – you could well be

sitting in a Sportage. Well equipped too, including adaptive/ smart cruise control and other advanced safety technologies including autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist and parking sensors/camera. As expected it proved very easy to drive, both about town and on the open road, then also through the winding bits, even on its 16-inch Michelin Ecosaver tyres, for the handling remained neat and tidy and the ride pleasantly comfortable. Mostly hushed too, except for really coarse chip. In addition to the EX, which is currently available at an introductory price of $34,990 instead of $39,990, theres also a LTD version costing $43,990 and a $55,990, plug-in PHEV LTD. The latter has a 42.5kW electric motor and 8.9kWh lithium-ion battery which allows up to 55km in pure EV mode. Kia say its fuel use can be as low as 1.3L/100km. So hybrids (both plug-in and not), until the coming of more affordable, quick charge, long range EVs, are in the meantime, in my view the most sensible option! But then for Graeme and other pure EV converts, a fully electric Niro with a 450km-plus range arrives next year.

Kia Niro EX

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Price $34,990 (introductory). LTD is RRP $43,990 and PHEV LTD $55,990 (all + ORCs). Engine: 1.6-litre, 4 cylinder petrol/hybrid -104kW/265Nm. Transmission: 6-speed, twin-clutch auto, front–wheel-drive. Quoted economy/CO2: 3.8L/100km. CO2 output- 88g/km Safety Rating: Five Star. Size - mm: Length 4355, width 1805, wheelbase 2700mm Turning circle: 10.6 metres Warranty: 5 year/100,000km vehicle, 7 year/160,000km battery, 5 years roadside assistance and a 3 years/45,000km free servicing.

FINALE The under $40,000 compact SUV market is growing rapidly. So the Niro EX’s arrival with its hybrid point of difference, and resulting excellent real life fuel economy is very timely. As well it achieves this without compromising its style, dynamics and practicality. Then of course it is capable of very long trips without having to plug-in, or meantime causing the driver absolutely no range anxiety!

Breaking through at 32

he Gepida Reptila 1000 is one of the first commuter bikes available in NZ with the Bosch Active Line Plus in a 32km/h format. This ‘breakthrough’ comes after years of insistence by Bosch that we should only have ‘safer’ 25km/h bikes like Australia and Europe, when they made 32km/h versions for the North American markets and we’ve had hub motor bikes that can do around 36 for ages. They have now allowed manufacturers to ship US-market motors to NZ. So expect to see more. I believe Shimano has followed suit, and Brose/Specialized has been 32 or 45 since forever. It really is a game-changer. What a difference 7km/h makes: 25 always seemed disappointingly slow where 32 seems about right for most purposes (including eMTB). Gepida is a Hungarian manufacturer and has been producing the Reptila line since 2011. The 1000 series has 700c (28-in) wheels while the 900 series has 26-in wheels. They are otherwise identical and smaller riders will probably be more comfortable on a 900 series. The Bosch Active Line Plus motor is also new for 2018, featuring more torque and less internal resistance than the base model Active Line. It has been a bit of a criticism of Bosch motors (including their current Performance and CX motors) and is not noticeable in this design. True to the ‘Active Line’ character, it is smooth in pickup and will never surprise in an unpleasant way. As such it is a great commuter. It’s an adequate hill climber, though I noticed in my Grafton test climb I found myself exceeding my test-limited heartrate of 120bpm quite early on. Battery is 400Wh which will suffice for most journeys of up to 50-60km (assuming typical rider weight and not overusing ‘Turbo’). Being a Bosch battery, you can buy replacements including a 500Wh battery, and Bosch service is apparently very good nationwide. It is a comfortable, refined and practical bike. I like the stepthrough and for most rid-

e-bike reviews are courtesy of NZ Electric Bike Review

ers the battery placement will work out OK. Do try it for yourself though. The Kreidler Vitality had a nicer configuration with the battery tucked around the back – they are otherwise very similar bikes.

Don’t be put off by the hydraulic rim brakes – they are well modulated and powerful – and brake pads are cheap to replace compared to disk pads. Comfort features include a suspension seatpost and SR Suntour fork, and the seat too is just right.

Tyres are puncture-resistant Schwalbe Energizer Life. It comes with an Abus frame lock. You can also buy an optional chain that slots into the frame lock for added security. I’d also recommend a good set of pannier bags. It has a Nexus 8-speed hub. I did find that you needed to back off the power when shifting which took a bit of getting used to. The benefit of a hub gear is less maintenance and the ability to shift gears when stopped, such as when you stop suddenly when the traffic light goes red. All up this is a nicely put together ebike, looking very nice in red. RRP is $4499.

Who should buy the Gepita Reptila 1000?

You typically commute less than 15km each way You use it for going to meetings, running errands Occasionally you might want to do a bit of a tiki-tour including roads and light trails (rail trails, Hamilton-Ngaruwahia, Hawkes Bay)

Who isn’t this for?

Who have to negotiate very steep hills daily You think 32km/h is just tooo slooooow (are you sure? not many bikes are much faster and it makes less of a difference for most journeys than you may think) 400 Wh battery isn’t going to be enough (are you sure? it’ll go quite far at moderate speeds. I have done 60km in Hawkes Bay trails in 400Wh) - By electricbazza

ven at age 42, there’s no stopping Suzuki ace Daryl Hurley and the eve of Guy Fawkes night is probably an appropriate time for him to be setting off the fireworks again. The multi-talented Kiwi retired from fulltime motocross racing several years ago, but now is back on top of the world after he took his Suzuki RM-Z450 to win the over-40 Pro class at the 2018 edition of the World Veterans’ Motocross Championships in the United States at the weekend. Racing at the Glen Helen track at San Bernadino, in a blazingly-hot Southern California, the 42-year-old Suzuki bike shop dealer from Hawera finished runner-up and then first in his two races in this premier class, eclipsing British former Grand Prix racer Kurt Nicoll, who finished 3-2, and American Dirt Rider magazine test rider Kris Keefer (1-4). Over a long and glittering career, Hurley has been a regular visitor to the top step of the podium. Hurley won four New Zealand 125cc motocross titles (in 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2004) before moving on to win the New Zealand MX1 title in 2007, following by his winning the New Zealand MX2 crown in 2008. He also won the New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix title at Woodville in 2005 and again in 2009. Hurley won the opening round of the World Supercross Championships at a muddy Estadio Olimpico in Seville, Spain, in December 2003. He beat South African Grant Langston (who was later crowned 2007 AMA motocross champion) to the chequered flag at that event in Spain, as well as leading Americans Tyler Evans and Heath Voss. The list continues and is seemingly endless for this Kiwi champion.

OUR VIEW

An accident waiting to happen J

oan is an Ashburton resident. She hates driving to Christchurch once every fortnight for a medical appointment and her look around a few favourite shops while in the area. Joan hates the drive because of the way that being on State Highway 1 between Ashburton and Christchurch makes her feel. She’s nervous, there’s a lot of traffic in a really tight and confined space and there seems to be even more people abusing their privilege to be on the road every time she points the car north and hopes for the best. The prospect of a median strip down the middle of the road is of huge concern to Joan too.

She’s worried that an already tightly compacted main road is going to become even more claustrophobic if its two sides are separated by a barrier. She also has a friend, Betty, who lives on the eastern side of the main road who she likes to call in and see on her way north but isn’t quite sure just how far she’ll have to travel up the road before she can turn off to come

back to Betty’s front gate. Just behind Joan is Arthur. Arthur is a retired truck driver who’s spent more hours than he cares to remember carting all sorts of items up and down the country. He too despises the main stretch between Mid Canterbury and Christchurch and has seen some pretty harrowing sights across his time too. He knows the road is an accident hot spot. He’s seen it with his own eyes and wishes someone would do something about it. He’s watched far too many near misses on the Rakaia Bridge, which worries him even more because without that

bridge, there’s not really an easy fix access to south of the river. Arthur dreams of a day when he can drive the major stretch of road without fear. Where it’s a spacious piece of real estate that caters for everyone and leaves no one feeling uneasy about what might be waiting around the corner. Both Joan and Arthur tuned in yesterday to watch Andrew Falloon and Amy Adams deliver their submission to the transport and infrastructure sub-committee, hoping that the efforts of the two MPs would be recognised and a better outcome than what had previously been proposed by New Zealand Transport Authority last week.

Both hope for a main road that’s safe and spacious – a road that doesn’t have them gripping at the steering wheel every time they make the trek. Congestion shouldn’t be a problem on a major slice of roading in a predominantly rural area – but it is and Arthur and Joan have had enough. So, like many others including Falloon and Adams, they will sit and wait. They’ll wait with hope that their local council might throw their support into the mix as well and hope that if not them, then future generations can travel the gateway from rural life to suburban living without the same fear they have.

and a huge party at the landmark Brandenburg Gate, Germany celebrated the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 2007, President General Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan placed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto under house arrest for a day, and rounded up thousands of her supporters to block a mass rally against his emergency rule. Ten years ago: Barack Obama’s transition chief, John Podesta, told Fox News Sunday the president-elect planned to review President George W. Bush’s executive orders on such

things as stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas. Five years ago: Three of the four surviving Doolittle Raiders who attacked Tokyo in 1942, all in their 90s, offered a final toast to their fallen comrades in a ceremony at the National Museum of the US Air Force near Dayton, Ohio. One year ago: During a visit to Beijing, President Donald Trump criticised what he called a “very one-sided and unfair” trade relationship between the US and China, but said he doesn’t

blame China for having taken advantage of the US. Today’s birthdays: Baseball Hall of Famer Whitey Herzog is 87. Baseball Hall of Famer Bob Gibson is 83. Actor Charlie Robinson is 73.

Rock musician Dee Plakas (L7) is 58. Actress Ion Overman is 49. Rapper Pepa (Salt-N-Pepa) is 49. Rapper Scarface (Geto Boys) is 48. Actor Jason Antoon is 47.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, November 9, the 313th day of 2018. There are 52 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On November 9, 1938, Nazis looted and burned synagogues as well as Jewish-owned stores and houses in Germany and Austria in a pogrom or deliberate persecution that became known as “Kristallnacht”. On this date: In 1620, the passengers and crew of the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod. In 1918, it was announced that Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II would abdicate; he then fled to the Netherlands. In 1961, US Air Force Major Robert M. White became the first pilot to fly an X-15 rocket plane at six times the speed of sound. The Beatles’ future manager, Brian Epstein, first saw the group perform at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. In 1965, the great Northeast blackout began as a series of power failures lasting up to 13½ hours left 30 million people in seven states and part of Canada without electricity. In 1967, a Saturn V rocket carrying an unmanned Apollo spacecraft blasted off from Cape Kennedy on a successful test flight. In 1970, former French President Charles de Gaulle died at age 79. In 1976, the UN General Assembly approved resolutions condemning apartheid in South Africa, including one characterising the white-ruled government as “illegitimate”. In 1986, Israel revealed it was holding Mordechai Vanunu, a former nuclear technician who had vanished after providing information to a British newspaper about Israel’s nuclear weapons programme. (Vanunu was convicted of treason and served 18 years in prison.) In 1989, communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West; joyous Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall. In 1999, with fireworks, concerts

Cheers for a great night I

actually didn’t think I was that bad, but I must have been! A two-day hangover followed my 50th celebrations on Saturday night. I wasn’t that keen on a big celebration, in fact I said to Manda that I was happy to host a BBQ for family and a few mates at home. “No way,” she said. “It’s a biggy, leave it to me.” I think she has missed her calling; she should look at a career in event management when Maddy heads off to school. The golf-themed invites were very cool. As was the amazing two-tiered golf cake. I know Manda and my sister-in-law Kara spent hours producing both. We did our best to keep the numbers around 100, which is not easy, the list could easily have topped 300. I was absolutely stoked to see a big turnout from my rellies. Even some made the effort, at reasonably short notice, to fly down from Auckland. The Hoopers have always enjoyed a good kneesup! As we are all getting older, it’s always good to get together for a happy celebration instead of a sad occasion, which is often the way eh? You just never know when the dynamic changes forever. I had mates there that I have known for a long time, like Cam Bruce. We started playing sport together, pretty much as soon as we were old enough to sign up. We also ended up flatting together in Christchurch, unlike a lot of kids today, as soon as we could possibly leave home. When I say ‘flatting’, a more accurate description would be ‘surviving’. If I wasn’t working for the catering company that did the food on the Ansett flights and able to bring home meals that weren’t eaten, I’m sure we would have starved! I guess food wasn’t high on our priority lists back then, unlike now! Both of us have made up for it in recent years! He lives in Auckland now so we don’t get to see each other that much, but when we do, it’s like we

I would just like to explain more fully, my position on the proposed improvements on State Highway 1 between Ashburton and Christchurch, and the effect they could have on our region, and other regions further south. Road safety is of paramount importance to me, and I have been involved for many years working on motoring issues within our region with the aim of making our roads safer. However, proposed roading improvements need to take into account the effect it will have on the regions involved, and also take into account further growth predictions. To spend $50,000,000 plus contingencies on the planned rope barrier down the centre of SH1 is a gross waste of taxpayers’ money and would be better spent on

Phill Hooper We played together for a OFF THE AIR few seasons, but to be honest we did our best work off the court. In fact we were in a minivan together on the way home from a weekend ‘bonding’ trip to Dunedin when we heard the news that Lady Di had died. There was a good smattering of mates from other sports like cricket, trotting and golf. There was a full turnout from the FPC, Friday Poker Club. We have been gathering once a month for nearly 12 years. It was great to see all the gents and their wives in attendance. It was an eclectic mix of people and I want to thank all those who fronted. Most of all I want to thank my gorgeous wife, not only for organising the bash but also stepping way out of her comfort zone and doing a lovely speech. It was a great night (and morning).

Ashburton Guardian 27

LETTERS four-laning SH1. I ask readers to think back over the past five years, and the extra traffic flows generated during that period. Now think forward another five years and imagine the same growth and how congested SH1 north will be then, with still no opportunities to pass except the existing passing lanes, since there is no plan to extend these in the plan. My other point regarding the growth of our district reflected on the proposed changes and the effect they will have on Ashburton. To maintain a strong retail model in the CBD, we need to attract more service industries to establish themselves in our district. This will, in turn, add to the consumer spend in town, enabling growth to take place. Add to that the number of buildings in need of redevelop-

WASHTEC COMBI WASH The best of both worlds

ment in our CBD, the cost of this redevelopment along with the higher rents required by the developer to cover their building costs and it is not difficult to see the only successful way forward is to be in a growth pattern. The proposed centre line wire barrier for SH1 takes none of these local factors into the equation, nor do they matter to those making the decision. It is up to our council to fight vigorously for a better outcome. Rather than sit back and accept the inevitable, take a stand for the ratepayers of this district, who deserve a better outcome, and fight for a four-lane highway. If you think small, then that is exactly the result you will get! Stand up for what is correct for our people and it is amazing what results can be achieved. I would like to point out that this is my own view, and not that of the Canterbury/West Coast AA

District Council of which I am a councillor. John Skevington

As a young person in Ashburton it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that the council have not even considered the four-lane highway issue, I guess they’re the same people that tore down the Somerset Bar and replaced it with another hairdressing salon, a place that was awesome to sit out in the sun and socialise and have a good time. I guess a 60-year-old lady’s hairstyle is more important than the future of our fast-becoming joke and embarrassment of a town centre. And being a country that thrives on tourism, what do they do next, shut down the i-SITE. How about a fresh new council please, and fast. Jack Doyle

■ BP CONNECT

■ AIR NEW ZEALAND

Revamped BP Connect open

Prepare for flying squeeze

The new BP Connect on West Street opened for business on Wednesday after a three-week renovation. It is the company’s 100th BP Connect and features a Wild Bean Café, more fuel options and car wash with jet washes. The first customer, Andreas, received a Wild Bean Café gift basket from BP New Zealand managing director Debi Boffa.

Air New Zealand is warning passengers to be prepared for a summer flying squeeze. It says it will carry more than six million customers between December 1 and the end of March next year. December and January are shaping up to be the busiest months, with the airline expecting to operate 30,000 flights over those two months. The busiest single flying day will be Friday, December 21 when Air New Zealand is expecting to operate more than 600 flights across its network. The airline’s general manager of customer experience Anita Hawthorne said it was hiring additional staff in customer facing roles at Auckland Airport during the summer peak. In previous years congestion getting to and through the airport has caused problems with some passengers missing flights. Auckland Airport has said it has measures in place to minimise the risk of a repeat this year. - NZME

All eyes on midterm elections T

here was an abundance of economic releases this week, but dominating global headlines was without doubt the US midterm elections. Back home, we saw the unemployment rate unexpectedly fall to a decade low, a decision from the RBNZ to hold the OCR steady, and prices at the Global Dairy Trade auction continue to slide. It was also a busy week of results, with almost 100 of S&P 500 companies reporting earnings. In New Zealand, we saw results from TrustPower, Goodman Property Trust and Pushpay, and annual meetings from NZ King Salmon, Fonterra and Trade Me. This week saw unemployment drop to a surprise 10-year low, sparking a rally in the NZ dollar. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.9 per cent in the September quarter, well below 4.4 per cent recorded last quarter and the lowest since the June 2008 quarter, when it was 3.8 per cent. The rate was well below market estimates for a slight increase to 4.5 per cent. The NZ dollar rallied more than 1.1 per cent against the US dollar to a three month high of $US0.67 following the news. Meanwhile, annual wage growth remained a relatively modest 1.9 per cent. The next day, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept the Official Cash Rate steady at a record low of 1.75 per cent. It has now been two years since the last move. The bank said it expects the rate to stay unchanged until 2020 and removed commentary of a rate cut. Governor Adrian Orr commented “employment is around its maximum sustainable level,

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

however core consumer price inflation remains below our 2 per cent target mid-point, necessitating continued supportive monetary policy.” Dairy product prices continued to slide at the latest Global Dairy Trade auction this week. The headline index fell 2 per cent from the previous auction three weeks ago. Whole milk powder dropped 2.9 per cent to its lowest price since August 2016, as supply continues to outweigh demand. Cheddar saw the most dramatic move, falling 4.6 per cent, while butter slipped 1.7 per cent. In the US, markets soared following the midterm election results, lifting a cloud of uncertainty that was weighing on the market. Democrats won back the House of Representatives while Republicans retained control of the Senate, an outcome that has split Congress. Following the result, President Donald Trump indicated he is willing to work with the Democrats on policy initiatives to ensure the economy continues to grow. The major indices hit session highs following his comments. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 posted gains of more than 2.1 per cent, marking the best rally after midterm elections since 1982. Historically, markets have

performed well when Congress is split and the White House in under Republican control, with the S&P 500 performing well in the wake of the elections. However, a split Congress could also lead to more investigations into President Trump and therefore create more market volatility. Trade will also remain one area of policy where Trump still has a high level of freedom. Another notable announcement out of the US this week, was the number of US job vacancies. The data showed Americans remain confident in leaving their jobs for better pay or benefits elsewhere. Job vacancies exceeded the number of unemployment by more than one million, indicating the increasing difficulty for employers to fill open positions. Across the ditch, the Reserve Bank of Australia announced its decision to keep the cash rate unchanged at a record low of 1.5 per cent. Governor Philip Lowe said GDP is now expected to grow by 3.5 per cent in 2018 and 2019, up from 3 per cent. The Australian dollar held firm following the announcement. Markets in Europe were mixed this week with politics remaining in focus. Euro zone finance ministers continue to put pressure on Italy to submit a new budget to the European Commission to end the standoff over the country’s spending plans.

In brief

■ NEW ZEALAND CUP

Shock draw for Tiger Tara By Michael Guerin Tiger Tara’s incredible run to the New Zealand Trotting Cup hit some serious turbulence on Wednesday that has seen the Aussie star almost double in price for next week’s great race. Former Mid Canterbury horse Tiger Tara has already placed in two New Zealand Cups and an amazing series of events this year seemed to be conspiring to help him finally get to the promised land. The sale of nemesis Lazarus to the US came after budding champion Vincent was retired because of injury then a succession of pacing’s big names were sidelined one by one – Lennytheshark, My Field Marshal, Jilliby Kung Fu and then finally and most brutally last week Chicago Bull. That left a rock-hard, fit Tiger Tara looking every inch the Cup winner, especially after a huge win in the Victoria Cup last month. Until Wednesday. Because the NSW iron horse drew the second line for the 3200m Cup at Addington next Tuesday, a draw made significantly worse by the fact the four Purdon-Rasmussen representatives most favoured behind Tiger Tara in the pre-draw market all drew well on the front line. And it got worse for trainer Kevin Pizzuto. Tiger Tara follows out Cruz Bromac at the start, a horse Pizzuto used to train and one of the worst standing starters on the front line. “I didn’t want the second line

Dawn Patrol ready Veteran trainer Frank Ritchie is looking to land his first Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) with lightly-raced gelding Dawn Patrol, who tackles the Al Basti Equiworld sponsored feature at Riccarton tomorrow. The 74-yearold trainer believes Dawn Patrol, unbeaten in two starts, provides him with his best opportunity to win the three-year-old classic since the great Bonecrusher finished third off an interrupted preparation in 1985. - NZME

Breaking new ground

Tiger Tara’s odds have soared since this week’s draw puts him behind Cruz Bromac. and I definitely didn’t want to be following out Cruz Bromac, that is for sure,” said Pizzuto. “That is not good at all and it will now be up to Todd (McCarthy, driver) to get some sort of run with him.” “I am happy with the horse, I think he is bigger and stronger than last season, but we didn’t need that.” Bookmakers agreed, with even the Australian TAB doubling Tiger Tara’s price from $3.50 to $7, with three Purdon-Rasmussen trained runners now more favoured.

Dream About Me (barrier five) and Thefixer (barrier one) look set to battle for favouritism, while Cruz Bromac has tightened after securing barrier two, although it may not help him all that much. Tiger Tara wasn’t the only onetime favourite for a group one on Tuesday to cop a second line draw, with unbeaten three-yearold Ultimate Sniper to start from two on the second line in the $170,000 Sires’ Stakes Final. But while he only has 1980m to make up that disadvantage he still looks better off than Ti-

ger Tara as he follows out a quick beginner and his last start victory suggested he has lengths on most of his opponents. He still may have to sit parked for the last 1000m to win but will be odds-on to do so. Northern trotters Speeding Spur (barrier three) and Lemond (one) were the big winners in the draw for the $100,000 NZ Trotting Free-For-All, which disappointingly is being bypassed by many of the trotting stars as they don’t want to be flattened before the $300,000 Dominion three days later. - HRNZ

■ FLEMINGTON

Savvy Coup primed for the Matriarch The occasion surrounding the Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) with glamour mare Winx got too much for Kiwi galloper Savvy Coup according to her connections, but they believe she is primed to contest her major Melbourne target on Saturday, the Gr.2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m) at Flemington. The Kiwi mare pulled hard throughout the Moonee Valley feature a fortnight ago and Michael Pitman, who trains the mare in partnership with his son Matthew, was happy enough with the run despite the circumstances. “She just lost the plot (in the Cox Plate),” he said. “She was quiet and very settled out the back, but as soon as she got into the parade ring she just lost it. She pulled hard in the prelim, she got bumped a couple of times by Winx and she just overraced and ran herself into the ground really. “She normally just settles out the back and relaxes up. “She gets keen, but Michael McNab and Chris Johnson have ridden her most of the time and

Ashburton Guardian 31

they have never said it has been an issue, but the other day she just got right up on the steel behind the pace and I thought it was an outstanding run to finish as close as she did.” Pitman is happy with the way his four-year-old mare has pulled up after the Cox Plate and said she has been working well heading into Saturday’s contest. “We think she has improved since the Cox Plate, which was always going to be the case because I’ve quite openly stated that the Cox Plate wasn’t her grand finale, it just happened that it was a suitable race to use to lead into the Matriarch,” Pitman said. “She worked really good on Tuesday and she’s come through the race really well.” Savvy Coup has drawn the outside barrier in the 15 horse field, but that poses no concern for Pitman who is confident with the mare who is a $7.50 equal second-favourite for the race with TAB bookmakers. “I’d rather draw there than the inside because Flemington has

Chris Johnson had plenty of racing on it and the fence might be a bit off I would imagine. “It has had three days of racing on it already this week,” Pitman said. “She has drawn wide plenty of times, she drew wide in the Oaks and the Livamol and Chris (Johnson, jockey) will work it out. “I’ve been in Australia enough times, I’ve won 20-odd races there, to know that if you’re in the

market you’re a chance. “She was a 60-1 shot in the Cox Plate and ran accordingly, but this week she is second favourite in the Matriarch.” Although Pitman, who is battling bowel cancer, was able to make it to Melbourne for the Cox Plate, he won’t be oncourse at Flemington on Saturday as he is currently in hospital after complications relating to his illness. “I’m currently in hospital and I’m going to be here possibly for another week,” he said. His stay in hospital will also mean that he will be unable to attend races on his hometrack of Riccarton on Saturday, where his stable will line-up 20 runners, including three in the Listed Yesberg Insurance Services Pegasus Stakes Handicap (1000m). The Pitman stable holds a strong hand in the race with last-start winner Morse Code and stakes-placed gelding Mr Typhoon, but Pitman has labelled four-year-old entire Sensei as his best chance. “If it was a dry track I expect Sensei to win it,” he said. - NZME

The Dennis brothers have stepped into new territory in their bid to complete the double in the Gr.1 three-year-old classic at Riccarton. Tony, Joe, Ray and Martin Dennis, recipients of the 2016 Outstanding Contribution to NZ Racing Award, won the 2002 NZ 1000 Guineas as owners and breeders with The Jewel and this weekend they will be looking to add the NZ 2000 Guineas to their trophy cabinet with The Chosen One. “It’s the first time we’ve put a syndicate of our own together,” Tony Dennis said. “We usually just race them ourselves. We tried to sell him at Karaka, but he [only] got to $130,000. Later Tony Rider suggested we syndicate him. He took 10 per cent straight away and it went from there.” - NZME

Tough act to follow Legendary French trainer Criquette Head-Maarek remains humble about her amazing achievements. Part of the Head racing dynasty, Head-Maarek is best known as the trainer of dual Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Treve. She still remembers how it felt to become the first female trainer to win Europe’s most prestigious race. “It’s fantastic to win,” Head-Maarek said. Now retired after a 41-year training career that would be the envy of many, Head-Maarek won three Arcs and ended her career with 126 Group One wins. - PA

Chance for revenge After missing out on a start in The Everest, Pierata gets his chance to tackle Redzel when the two line up in the VRC Sprint Classic at Flemington. They are the early equal favourites for the Group One sprint over the 1200m-straight course, something new to Pierata but familiar to Redzel, the winner of last year’s race. Redzel has won the first two runnings of Australia’s richest race, The Everest, with Pierata under consideration for a slot a couple of weeks out from the race last month. - AAP

Juvenile domination Co-trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have continued their domination of early two-year-old races, claiming a feature juvenile race of the Melbourne spring at Flemington. Vinicunca took out yesterday’s Group Three Maribyrnong Plate to give Waterhouse and Bott their third two-year-old winner. Unite And Conquer won the Maribyrnong Trial at Flemington last month with Espaaniyal successful at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate day. idden by visiting Irish jockey Wayne Lordan, Vinicunca ($5) scored a nose victory over Art Collection ($5) with Chicago Bull third. - AAP

■ RUGBY

ABs roll out big guns By Liam Napier Joe Moody’s lacerated eyelid has forced the only selection surprise to an otherwise strong, fullstrength All Blacks team. Nothing else would be expected for a high profile test against England at Twickenham. In a freak training incident, Moody required three layers of stitches to his eyelid and will be sidelined for six weeks after copping a wayward finger during a routine lineout lift in London earlier this week. The injury adds to a frustrating year in which Moody, the All Blacks’ first-choice loosehead prop now confined to wearing an eye patch, has missed the majority of the season, playing six tests, after a catalogue of injuries for the Crusaders and All Blacks. “Joe Moody has found a way to get himself injured in unusual fashion this year,” All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said. “Anyone else it would probably have missed his eye. “Plastic surgeon has recommended the six weeks and as our doctor described it your eyelid is your window washer so if you’ve got half of it missing you can’t wipe your eye so it will impact your eyesight long term so we need to make sure he is okay.” Moody’s misfortune opens the door for the big-scrummaging Karl Tu’inukuafe to make his fifth start of the year, with Ofa Tu’ungafasi providing cover from the bench. Angus Ta’avao’s ability to play both sides of the scrum has resulted in his recall over loosehead specialist Tim Perry. Tu’inukuafe, described as a di-

Karl Tu’inukuafe gets a shot at England this weekend. amond, has been the find of the season for the All Blacks. No doubt he will relish the prospect of locking horns with the English front-row. Elsewhere the All Blacks have picked what they, for now, consider their strongest team. That includes the return of Jack Goodhue, the Crusaders centre partnering Sonny Bill Williams for only the second time in the midfield after last appearing for the All Blacks seven weeks ago. Blood tests cleared Goodhue of any lingering glandular fever, an illness which kept him out of the Bledisloe Cup victory in Yokohama two weeks ago. His return pushes Crusaders

team-mate Ryan Crotty to the bench. “Jack has trained the house down so you’ve got to trust the medical people,” Hansen said. “They say he’s ready to go so he’s ready to go. “It’s a bit tough on Alby [Anton Lienert-Brown] because he’s been doing the job for us off the bench but we’ve got to find out if someone else can do that job. “People say this is a big test but that’s the best time to find out.” The back three – Rieko Ioane, Ben Smith and Damian McKenzie – which the All Blacks felt had success against the Wallabies last time out has also been retained.

This gives McKenzie another chance to fulfill the second playmaking option the All Blacks are now favouring from fullback in order to take decision-making pressure off Beauden Barrett. “We think Damian is very good in the air. “Bender is world-class. “Rieko is very good receiving them; he’s still got a bit of work to do chasing them. “All the other qualities he’s got I think we can cope with that one not quite being world-class.” In their on-going, competitive duel, Aaron Smith regains the start at halfback from the continually-improving TJ Perenara. After making his long-awaited test return against Japan, Hurricanes captain Dane Coles is set to make the step up from the bench. “He’s not right back yet but he’s well on the way. “His throwing is world-class and we’ll need a good thrower for 80 minutes on Saturday. It’s nice to have that experience back.” - NZME

The team will wear the Royal NZ Returned and Services Association poppy proudly on their sleeves to mark the day when guns fell silent and conflict ceased after four years of brutal warfare that marked World War One.

Slade, Te’o set to go Henry Slade is eager to continue his centre partnership with Ben Te’o when England end their four-year wait to face New Zealand. The duo played together for the first time in Saturday’s 12-11 win over South Africa, with Te’o making his maiden appearance since May after recovering from injuries. Their performances improved in tandem with England’s fightback against the Springboks and they are expected to keep their places when Eddie Jones names his starting XV for the All Blacks’ visit to Twickenham. “The partnership felt pretty good. It feels like we’ve got pretty good balance,” said Slade. - PA

Wales wary of No. 7s Wales flanker Justin Tipuric is wary of going toe-to-toe with two of the world’s best No.7s when his side takes on the Wallabies this weekend. Tipuric says there’s crazy competition for back row places in his squad, even with former Wales and Lions captain Sam Warburton no longer part of the selection mix. Wales’ likely starting back-row for the test against Australia at the Principality Stadium on Saturday – Tipuric, Dan Lydiate and Ross Moriarty – are all Lions representatives. - PA

■ OPINION

Spark may be turning its sights towards rugby By Chris KeaLL

t’s now conceivable that Spark could launch a bid for All Blacks games or Super Rugby. Formerly, Sky TV’s nearmonopoly on outside sports broadcasting facilities has been regarded as key plank in its fortress as it seeks to defend its sports rights. But that’s changed this week with Spark announcing a new deal for local rights to the FIH (International Hockey Federation) series, including local games. While hockey is a minority sport, the deal is notable because it will be Spark’s first foray into local sports production – in partnership with NEP, the world’s largest outside sports broadcaster. NEP set up a NZ office last year. Spark says by positioning itself as the host broadcaster for FIH games, it’s “demonstrating ambi-

tion to become a key player in the local sports market”. The telco has started taking sign-ups for its new service at www.spark.co.nz/sport. Spark also named its technology partner for streaming live sport. The telco’s technology partner for its Spark Sport service – which will be used to stream the Rugby World Cup 2019 and other events in Spark’s growing sports stable – will be iStreamPlanet, which currently supports streaming for the Super Bowl, the NBA League Pass and the Olympics. Signing a gold-plated partner like iStreamingPlanet will help address concerns about streaming wobbles. But Spark still faces the larger problem that at least 15 per cent of the population (and probably a lot more) won’t have ultrafast broadband by Rugby World Cup time. This week also saw something of a shift in alliances as new Vodafone NZ chief executive

Jason Paris said his company was already in talks with Spark about adding Spark Sport to Vodafone TV. Many pundits had presumed Vodafone would remain tightly tied to Sky TV, despite the pair’s merger being blocked. But its new boss has new thinking. Paris says Spark successfully streaming the Rugby World Cup would be good for New Zealand. Paris acknowledgd there could be complications to resolve with Vodafone’s wholesale contract with Sky, which he acknowledged had a number of restrictions relating to non-Sky content. On October 25, Spark bolstered its sports lineup by winning three-year exclusive rights to Formula 1. Pricing has yet to be announced, although the telco has already displayed a robust appetite for charging, with MD Simon Moutter raising the possibility that a Rugby World Cup

pass will cost around $100. Spark has recently built a portfolio of sport, outbidding Sky TV for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, regaining English Premier League rights for three seasons from next year, and securing Heineken Champions Cup rights to European rugby. At Sky’s recent annual meeting, chairman Peter Macourt stressed that not all the country would have ultrafast broadband by the Rugby World Cup. Macourt said Sky’s ability to reach the whole country via satellite was a key advantage with sports bodies. And although he did not name the telco, Macourt put the acid on Spark by reminding shareholders about the Fifa World Cup debacle in June – where a frozen stream saw Optus forced to refund all views and hand over all games to broadcaster SBS, delivering the free-to-air channel a bonus 1.2m viewers. For its part, Spark has part-

nered with TVNZ and says it has a plan B if streaming fails. It has not detailed its plan but presumably it would involve handing off coverage to the freeto-air broadcaster if things go south. At the AGM, Sky chief executive John Fellet reiterated that his company had pulled out of bidding for Formula 1 races for the next three years. Fellet said a move to races at 1am and increased highlights on social media had pushed viewership to below 1 per cent of Sky subscribers – greatly diminishing Sky’s appetite to place a high bid. Premier League and Heineken Champions Cup viewership was also in the faction-of-a-per cent range, he said. On social media, a number of F1 fans had been hoping that noone would pick up local rights – a turn of events they hoped would allow them access to the official Formula One app that is currently geo-blocked to Kiwis. - NZME

In brief

■ CRICKET

Taylor stirs up hornets’ nest By Niall aNdersoN Pakistan cricket captain Sarfraz Ahmed has taken aim at Black Caps batsman Ross Taylor following claims of illegal bowling during the Black Caps’ 47-run victory in their opening One Day International yesterday. Taylor appeared to accuse veteran Pakistan spinner Mohammad Hafeez of an illegal bowling action during the first innings of the clash in Abu Dhabi. Taylor seemed to make a “chucking” gesture to the umpires during Hafeez’s first over, mimicking a bent arm – an accusation that caused Sarfraz to have heated discussions with both Taylor and the umpires. According to Pakistan cricket journalist Saj Sadiq, Pakistan management have made an official complaint to the match referee regarding Taylor’s actions, and Sarfraz hit out at Taylor after the game, labelling his actions as ‘disgraceful’. “Ross Taylor’s actions were wrong and it’s not his job to do that. “The way he motioned the action on television was disgraceful. I don’t think that’s his job, his job is to bat. “It’s better if he focuses on his batting,” Sarfraz said. “The way the batsmen reacted two to three times was completely wrong. “They are professional cricketers and they should take care regarding such things. “If there is a problem they

Mid Canterbury’s first ever under-15 girls’ sevens squad heads to Timaru this weekend to take part in the inaugural South Island Under-15 Girls’ Sevens tournament. The team will take on South Canterbury, Otago and Canterbury Country on tomorrow’s opening day at Alpine Energy Stadium, with play set to wrap up on Sunday. The team is being coached by Johnny Galbraith and managed by Tania Trusler-Clark. The team is: Naomi Sooaemalelagi (C), Megan Hurley (VC), Madison Trusler-Clark, Claudia Thomas, Anna Gray, Gemma Tapurau, Gemma Taylor, Lauren Taylor, Stephanie Geeson, Billie Surridge.

Horses on show

Black Caps batsman Ross Taylor suggests to the umpires that Hafeez may be bowling illegally. shouldn’t make signals on the television screen, they can instead speak to the umpires. “There is no problem with Hafeez’s action, his action is completely clear and I think the batsmen were trying to create an issue for no reason.” Hafeez has been banned from bowling four times during his career by the International Cricket Council, including three times in the past four years. The most recent suspension came in October last year, causing the 38-year-old to remodel

his action once again, eventually being cleared in April. Hafeez bowled during the Twenty20 series without incident, but Taylor’s gesture caused plenty of drama in Abu Dhabi, with Sarfraz exchanging heated words during Hafeez’s spell, with the umpires eventually having to speak to Taylor after repeated complaints from Sarfraz. Hafeez finished with 0-23 from his six overs, while Taylor topscored for the Black Caps with 80, before a hat-trick from Trent Boult led the visitors to victory.

Earlier, half centuries from Ross Taylor (80) and Tom Latham (68) revived the Kiwis after captain Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat. But Pakistan hit back in the innings’ last 10 overs with ace legspinner Shadab Khan (4-38) claiming three wickets in four balls and fast bowler Shaheen Afridi ending up with 4-46. Taylor looked set for another century but played on to left-arm spinner Wasim before Ish Sodhi (24) and Tim Southee (20) produced little cameos. - NZME

Howard under fire from Aussie great Stuart MacGill has savaged Pat Howard for “stealing an income from Cricket Australia”, while Ian Chappell believes the sacked team-performance boss’s rugby background meant he was in a difficult position from day one. Howard made it clear to players and CA staff earlier this year that he intended to leave after

Sevens girls head south

the 2019 Ashes, when his contract expired. But he was tapped on the shoulder by CA chief executive Kevin Roberts on Wednesday. Former legspinner MacGill wondered why the former Wallabies five-eighth, who was appointed in 2011, lasted so long. “I just wish we had it a few

years ago because Pat Howard has been stealing an income from Cricket Australia for a long time,” MacGill said. “It was always a joke to me and to a lot of my mates that he was high-performance manager when his performance during pretty much his whole time has been anything but.

“There was a period of time where Pat Howard was providing Australian selectors with a list of players they were allowed to pick the team from. “In effect there was only one Australian selector and it was Pat Howard. “It was absolute rubbish.” - AAP

At the end of 2017, the American was the reigning Open champion and ranked second in the world, while Woods had played one event in his latest comeback and was a lowly 656th.

■ GOLF

Junior tourney revived A new concept aimed at getting kids into golf, which has just made its debut in Ashburton, will lead to the resurrection of an old junior golf tournament in a few weeks’ time. The New Zealand Golf initiative, Futures Team Golf, was played at the Ashburton Golf Club for the first time on Sunday and attracted 16 primary-aged children keen to give the sport a go. Aorangi Golf community golf manager Malcolm Wood said while some of the children had played the game before, either through the golf in schools programme or the odd hit with their parents, a lot of the children were new to the game, which was what they wanted to see. Team golf – played in an ambrose format on a shortened course with the rules relaxed – would continue to run at the Ashburton Golf Club on Sunday afternoons for the next three weeks, and then on December 2 the club would host the Ashburton Junior Open. Wood said the tournament had not been played for many years, so they were trying to resurrect it from the ashes. It was hoped the tournament would attract top juniors from around Canterbury, with Wood hopeful numbers might hit around 30. It was also hoped some of the new juniors who had taken part in the Team Golf days around South and Mid Canterbury might sign up and play in a nine-hole event. Ashburton Golf Club resident professional Matt Davis was running the Team Golf events on Sundays through November, and Wood said that would be great for the children to get some consistency with the game. Wood said those who turned out on Sunday had a great day. “Matt’s first task was to rally the children into groups and then have them select a team name that they would play under, trust me, there were some interesting selections,” Wood said. “After explaining the format of the game along with the rules, the groups, along with parent support, headed out to play their game in fine sunny conditions, albeit a bit windy. “It was great to see the children having so much fun without any outside pressure and this allowed them to enjoy the moment in the hope that we can keep them engaged with golf.

“Playing the six holes with a par of 26, each team excelled with three teams scoring 26 and one team scoring 27.” If you’ve got a child keen to take part in the coming three Team Golf days, check out the Aorangi Golf website or Facebook page for more details. Clubs are available to use on the day.

Stunning Man U comeback Two goals in three minutes saw Manchester United come from behind to stun Juventus 2-1 in an action-packed Champions League clash in Turin yesterday. Juventus appeared headed for victory when striker Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the 65th minute, but Juan Mata’s leveller (86th) followed by Alex Sandro’s 89th-minute own goal upset the hosts. After the final whistle, United boss Jose Mourinho marched onto the Turin pitch and cupped his ear towards the Juventus crowd which resulted in deafening jeers from the home fans. The victory took the Red Devils to second in Group H with seven points, with Valencia two points behind in third after the Spanish club beat Young Boys 3-1. Mata, whose superb free-kick brought

United back into the contest, could not hide his delight. “What a nice last five minutes. It is a very, very good night for us to win here today, to get the three points against Juventus in Italy is amazing,” Mata said. “It was a very difficult game. They push a lot, they have fantastic players, they are a top team but in the last two chances we have, we score.” In Plzen, Real Madrid thrashed Czech hosts Plzen 5-0 to make a statement under caretaker manager Santiago Solari. In England, Manchester City defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 6-0 to qualify from Group F. Munich defeated AEK 2-0 with a brace (31st penalty and 71st minute) from Robert Lewandowski. - DPA

eight-letter word reading clockwise Previous solution: TORTURES

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Every attitude causes a chain reaction. It’s important to check yourself before stepping one foot into conversations, environments or projects. Where am I at? What attitude am I bringing to it? TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): A buoyant mood prevails. From here it’s easier to be resourceful and open to change. Any and every thing you do to feel better will contribute to your positive vibes. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The challenge will be choosing what to believe. Assessing not only if a potential belief is correct, but also what its natural trajectory is. Who will you be if you believe? Choose uplifting, empowering beliefs. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Conventional approaches to self-improvement may leave you resentful and rebellious against the taskmaster that is supposedly the higher version of you. Make your overall well-being a priority instead. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The key to harnessing and maximising your energy is to embrace your own polarisations – the best and worst in you, attractive and unattractive traits and tendencies. There’s power in loving your whole self. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Productivity and joy go hand in hand. Even work you once considered to be a grind will be over quickly and done well because of the happiness in your approach. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your brain has a way of balancing itself and today you can practically feel it at work, guiding you to the next action that will lead to your health and well-being. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The earth is big, and yet in the entire world there is only one place where success exists, and that place is inside you. There are experiences you’d like to have. Whether you have them or not, you are successful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Because everyone has different values, it can be difficult for people to understand what matters to you and how you want to be treated. Today you won’t have that problem. They’ll get it right away. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): How can you get more of the things that make you feel good being in your body? Because when your physical self is happy, the rest of you will follow in kind. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The first time you do something, there’s excitement and possibly trepidation over the unknown aspects of it. The second time you know what to expect and can relax into the process. The third time – that will truly be the charm! PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Learning about things makes you appreciate and enjoy them better. Your urge to go deeper into a body of knowledge is an instinct to move toward happiness.

Shock exit for Warriors’ hard man Hard-running front rower James Gavet is set to make a shock departure from the Warriors to join Newcastle on a two-year deal. The Herald understands the Warriors have released Gavet from the final year of his contract, with the paperwork expected to be finalised last night. The 29-year-old is believed to be heading to the Knights on a

two-year contract. News of his exit comes after Gavet made a cryptic social media post yesterday suggesting his time at the Warriors was over. “Thanks for the ride fam OUTTA-HERE !!! DONE & DONE,” read Gavet’s story on Instagram. Gavet’s release comes after disciplinary issues contributed to him being dropped from the Warriors

side for their final round 20-16 win over Canberra on August 25. It’s understood Gavet was late to training and a couple of other club functions in the lead-up to retiring forward Simon Mannering’s 300th NRL game and last home appearance at Mt Smart. Gavet returned to the starting side for the Warriors’ season-ending qualifying final loss to Penrith

at ANZ Stadium in week one of the playoffs. The Samoan international joined the Warriors in 2016 after stints at the Bulldogs, Wests Tigers and Broncos. Gavet played 42 matches throughout his time at the Auckland-based club and made 19 appearances for the Warriors last season. - NZME
