CHINESE SETTLEMENT BUILDINGS ARE:

Community feedback on the future of buildings in Ashburton’s Allen’s Road Chinese settlement has prompted a top level suggestion that those buildings could be demolished rather than restored. That suggestion was made at yesterday’s Ashburton District Council meeting by deputy mayor Neil Brown. “I’ve listened to people out there in the community and they’re saying it’ll cost a huge amount of money to restore because they’re pretty well stuffed,” he said. After listening to what people were saying Brown said he was inclined to agree. “They’re saying demolish the buildings and develop the site into something else, something that’s a memorial to the Chinese settlers, some-

thing that’s useful. I’m not sure we’re heading down the right track with restoration.” There needed to be some serious conversations around the best way to mark the contribution of the Chinese settlers, Brown said. “Putting money into the restoration of those old buildings is probably a waste of money.” The council has already agreed to spend money on fencing the site and making it safe. Funds were approved for stage one of this work and at last month’s finance and business support committee meeting they agreed to seek further funding to complete a revised and staged restoration programme for the settlement. Chairman of the council’s Chinese settlement working group, Leen Braam, said he was also hearing similar sentiments in the community. “I’m certainly open-minded (on the outcome) and open to discuss this,” he said.

Strengthening ties between Ashburton and China By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The first building blocks in what could be a solid relationship for the future were laid recently when a three-person delegation from Ashburton spent a whirlwind week in China. Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, Ashburton College principal Ross Preece and Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel were hosted by Fineboon International, the company establishing a goat milk plant in Ashburton. Other Ashburtonians on the trip included New Zealand Dairy Collaborative partners, Geraldine Ling, Angus McKay, Peter Huang and Paul Huang. The primary purpose of the visit was to attend two significant milestones for Fineboon and to acknowledge the importance that the Ashburton District holds for the company, Favel said. “Our first stop was Xiangyang,

Shaanxi Province, where we attended the 10th anniversary celebrations of Fineboon International Limited. “Andrew and I spoke of how pleased we are that Fineboon selected Ashburton District for its New Zealand operation and that we are looking forward to the official factory opening, in the near future. “Ours is a special relationship for Fineboon and it was nice to see the reverence they hold us in,” she said. With the district’s new international strategy established, Favel said it was important the council showed its commitment to the friendship agreements it had in place with several cities and to reaffirm a Friendship City agreement with Xiangyang, a visit was made to government officials in that city. The original agreement was signed (August 2016), by then mayor McKay and Mayor of Xi-

angyang, Madame Weihua. Ashburton District is the 12th such agreement for Xiangyang. “They’re keen to enhance this relationship further, particularly to understand economic, education and tourism collaboration between the two districts,” Favel said. A visit was made to Xianyang Shijuan Middle School – with 6000 pupils (3000 of them boarders). The school is supported by both state and central government. “We were most impressed to see five principals, teachers and students – all there to showcase their school during summer school holidays. The students were preparing for the National Robot Wars competition.” The Ashburton team also attended a factory opening in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, where speeches were translated from Chinese to Ewenki and then to English.

Inner Mongolia had many similarities to Ashburton District such as ample water, good soil, talented farmers – dairy, beef, sheep and goats. But there are also a few differences, including the immensely vast landscape – no mountains, buildings or stands of trees on the skyline. From October to May the land is under snow, dropping to -50°C in winter, she said. “On more than one occasion, the bus driver had to slow to avoid stock wandering on to the road (very few fences). “We even had to slow for a group of wild horses, who decided to run along the road,” Favel said. “While in Hangzhou, Ross and I met with Westlake government officials and education representatives to see if we could find some common opportunities. “We want to look at the opportunities that are there for collaboration.”

Chinese buildings ‘pretty well stuffed’ From P1 His suggestion is that councillors sat down and looked at what could realistically be done and how. The problem, he said was that the council was faced with restoring buildings that were never built for longevity or to be restored. Several letter writers to the Guardian have suggested the land could be cleared and a memorial with story boards erected. They have suggested the site itself could become another park. The council has had an historical assessment carried out on the site and called for registrations of interest in restoration work. The cost of that work has not been released publicly. Councillor Diane Rawlinson had already signalled her concern saying at an earlier meeting her instincts said to proceed with caution on the project. “I don’t think we should be throwing bucketloads of money at this,” she said. The council signed an agreement several years ago, with descendants of the Chinese settlers, to become caretakers of the land and its buildings.

■ SMILES 4 MILES

Fancy a trip in an ambulance or hot rod? By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The Ryal Bush Transport Yard will be buzzing with truckloads of petrol-powered excitement and community spirit on Saturday as Smiles 4 Miles rolls back into town. The community event offers a fun afternoon out for children and adults living with special needs. It launched last year and was hailed a huge success – with 42 engines of all shapes and sizes and around 70-80 attendees. This year, a member of the organising committee, Matt Johnson, said they were expecting trucks from as far as Christchurch and Timaru, along with a large number of local vehicles. Attendees will have the chance to sit in the back of an ambulance, take in the view from a truck driver’s cab or even cruise through the streets in their favourite vehicle. Hot rods, vintage cars and machinery will also be on show. “Anyone can go on anything they want – it’s not a matter of lining up for the next one over,” Johnson said. The Rapid Relief team will be serving up a free sausage sizzle while sponsors will be offering raffle prizes. The event will run year after year for as long as people continue enjoying it, Johnson said. Smiles 4 Miles will be held from noon to 3pm on Saturday at the Ryal Bush Transport yard, 77 Maronan Road, Tinwald.

Quarterly rates bills about to kick in By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Many Ashburton District property owners will have given their August rates bill a second look as the district council moves into its new, three-monthly payment cycles. Earlier this year the council decided to move from its traditional

two-month cycle and that has meant this month’s instalment is due just two months after the final 2017/18 installment was paid in June, said council finance manager Sandy Hogg. Knowing the larger quarterly payments could create hardship for some ratepayers, Hogg said the council had widened its direct

debit options to include weekly, fortnightly, monthly, two-monthly and quarterly payments. The first payment of the new cycle was anticipated to cause some issues, because of its timing, she said. “This is the hardest one, but the next payments will be November and February. Before there was a

payment due right at Christmas so that one will no longer be an issue.” There had already been an increase in the number of people wanting to sign on for a variety of direct debit payments, Hogg said. “We’ve got these processes in place, people have opportunities to make arrangements and we

want people to be proactive, talk to us if they think they may have a problem and to take a look at the payment options.” Until the new payment regime had settled down, the council’s finance team would be watching its debtor levels closely to monitor how people were dealing with the change, Hogg said.

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The hunt for Ashburton’s most extraordinary 12 to 24-year-olds has honed in on four movers and shakers. Artem Kravchenko, Alyce Lysaght, Hine Moka and Ronan Kenny have been named as the finalists for the Supreme Youth Award for the Ashburton District, within the YMCA Canterbury Youth Awards. Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, sponsor for the award, said Ashburton is brimming with young people doing amazing things and he congratulated all the finalists and everyone who put themselves forward for nomination. “It will be a hard choice to pick a winner and I’m pleased I don’t have to make it,” he said. A ceremony will be held on August 31, where awards like young champion, commitment to wellbeing and youth voice will be handed out, along with the Supreme Award for each of Canterbury’s seven districts. Falloon is sponsoring two awards in total and said they are a great opportunity to acknowledge the contribution young people make to our district. “As the local MP I want to celebrate their achievements and inspire others to do the same,” he said. Nominee Artem Kravchenko is

a volunteer youth leader across a range of holiday sporting and other activity programmes, as well as co-chairman of Ashburton

Youth Council and a key organiser of Bite Nite. He is involved in YMCA Mid Canterbury and a number of lead-

ership and peer-support roles at Ashburton College. Alyce Lysaght took numerous leadership roles at Ashburton

College and was the former chairwoman of Ashburton Youth Council, with involvement in Bite Nite. She is now studying engineering at University of Canterbury and is involved with the Student Volunteer Army and other mentoring programmes. Ronan Kenny has been heavily involved in the scouting movement with a number of leadership and mentoring roles – and was earlier this year awarded a Chief Scouts Commendation for his actions assisting a badly injured skier on Mt Hutt. And Hine Moka has been nomintated as she organises anti-bullying and ‘big buddy’ programmes at school. She works to encourage other Maori students and promote inclusion (for example, through the planning of a Diversity Day) as well as being involved in a number of environmental and ecological causes.

Flu numbers low in Mid Canterbury By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

A mild winter and high vaccination rates are being credited with keeping Mid Cantabrians relatively flu-free. The Canterbury District Health Board reported yesterday that there had so far been no patients confirmed positive for influenza admitted to Ashburton Hospital. “The number of cases of influenza like illness in Canterbury has been much lower than the

previous five-yearly average, despite the northern hemisphere having a relatively heavy influenza season last year,” Canterbury Medical Officer of Health, Dr Alistair Humphrey said. “One reason could be that the strain affecting the northern hemisphere (H3N2) had already started to circulate in New Zealand last year, so there would already have been some resistance to influenza in the Canterbury community,” he said.

Moreover, Canterbury had relatively high influenza vaccination rates, and temperatures had been relatively mild. The latter meant people were less likely to be crowded indoors, reducing the risk of transmission of respiratory pathogens. St John data backs up Mid Cantabrians staying relatively well this winter, particularly when compared to their Christchurch counterparts. While figures for the month of

July from St John for flu-related call-outs spiked in the Christchurch metro, they remained relatively stable in Mid Canterbury. There were 178 flu-related callouts in Christchurch metro for the month, compared to 90 in June, and 153 in July last year. For Mid Canterbury there were 24 flu-related call-outs in July, compared to 18 in June and 38 in July last year. Meanwhile, Mid Cantabrians are being asked to sign up to a

new online flu monitoring system called FluTracking. About 4000 people nationwide have registered, and they participate each week during flu season, being sent a link to answer a couple of simple flu-related questions. The regional map for August 8 at info.flutracking.net shows just three for the Ashburton area, none of whom were showing either fever and cough or other flutype symptoms.

Ball a fundraising success Take four friends and one great idea and you have a surefire winner when it comes to fundraising. The friends are Di Thomas, Carolyn Bond-Hood, Moana Taylor and Gabrielle Thompson. The idea was the Pretty in Pink Ball and that saw $21,000 raised for Ashburton’s Cancer Society. That money could not be raised however, Thomas said, without the generosity of businesses and individuals who supported the event with donations, gifts of items to auction and in sponsoring tables. “It’s absolutely amazing the way the community gets behind this event,” she said. The ball is held biennially and July’s event was held in a new venue, Trott’s Gardens. While that meant a slight reduction in ticket numbers, there were great comments about the venue, Thomas said. Live and silent auctions were held during the ball. For the Cancer Society, health promoter Mandy Casey said donations such as the ball funds ensured the organisation was able to continue meeting the needs of people affected by cancer in the Ashburton District. The money would be well and wisely spent, she said.

■ MYCOPLASMA BOVIS

M. bovis farm total rises again

One more property has been confirmed as infected with mycoplasma bovis this week. Late on Tuesday the Ministry for Primary Industries said the number of active infected properties (IPs) had risen to 38, from 37 earlier in the day. The property is a North Canterbury dairy farm, and is connected to known infected farms through animal movements. The addition follows two dairy farms from Mid Canterbury being confirmed as IPs last week, and takes the total number of farms to have been confirmed as infected with the bacterium to 60. Over the weekend the active IP list reduced after four previously-infected properties had their IP status lifted, following herd depopulation, decontamination and completion of a 60-day stand-down period. The four were one Canterbury and three Southland farms.

■ BLACK BILLED GULL

The black billed gulls are back in town BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s rare black billed gulls are back in town. An estimated group of about 300 are flying around their familiar haunts of the McDonald’s carpark, nearby shop roofs and the Ashburton Domain as they prepare for their annual mating and nesting period. They are expected to settle on the river near the State Highway One bridge mid-September. Ashburton Forest and Bird chairwoman Edith Smith said the birds would be currently getting to know each other, and form into their colonies. They would not only be scavenging for food around town, but also heading out to nearby farm paddocks and feeding on grubs. She was hopeful of a successful nesting year following good numbers being able to raise chicks last year despite flood events. “The river is looking really good, there is some quite good islands,” Smith said. This was due to freshes in the river keeping it clear, as well as a flood in January which swept away weeds following spraying by Environment Canterbury. Colonies of the rare black billed gulls are expected to settle not only at the State Highway One

bridge, but also at other sites on the river, in particular the river mouth. More than 10,000 settled at the

two sites last year, and despite flooding events many ultimately ended up successfully raising their chicks.

Hundreds of black billed gulls are hanging out at the Ashburton Domain and the town centre, preparing to settle onto the nearby river for the spring and summer nesting season. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 080818-SS-0114

Electric cars are the future

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It felt good to be behind a car which was pulling into a full petrol station on Wednesday. I was driving a wee electric Nissan Leaf demo vehicle that Gluyas’ have loaned me. And while I needed to fill up, so to speak, I did not have to follow that car into the queue and wait. I could just keep on driving, straight on my way to the West Street carpark where there is a free EV fast-charger.

At least one of the two charging parks is generally always empty, so there is no need to wait. And while there is the inconvenience of having to come back an hour later to disconnect and find a parking spot, it is nowhere near as painful as seeing numbers next to the dollar signs on a fuel pump escalate to eye-watering levels. I returned the car after driving it for a couple of days, and am pleased to report it was a fantastic experience.

2.30pm Hinds Domain, Heartland Pre-season Agstaff Mid Canterbury v South Canterbury 12.50pm Mid Canterbury “A” v South Canterbury “A” Sunday 2.00pm Mt Somers Domain Senor B; Bruce Beckley Memorial Cup Rakaia v Collegiate

This was, of course, besides the minor incident involving a shovel on the road and just a little range anxiety. As it turns out, electric cars are perfect for small commutes, so it worked well for me having to make the drive from Methven to Ashburton and back each day. Going on a bigger trip to Christchurch would have necessitated charging up in the city before coming home, and a trip to, say Dunedin, would take longer than the usual four hours

as there would have to be at least two one-hour charging stops on the way. Despite the downsides of the cost of the vehicles being higher than that of petrol cars, and the cars having a lack of towing capability, it is easy to see why many people are going electric. The main problem I see in future is whether we will be able to keep up by installing enough fast-charging points. They will have to be everywhere, not just provided publicly,

but also by companies for their staff and customers. Nissan sales manager at Gluyas’, Scott Donaldson, predicts that within five years about 20 per cent of cars will be electric, and this could rise to 50 per cent within 20 years. So it seems electric cars are the way of the future. And this is something we can look forward to, particularly as technology improves, and the range and capability of the cars develops.

Boys get Thai citizenship Three young soccer players and their coach, who were rescued with other teammates after almost three weeks in a flooded cave, were granted Thai citizenship on Wednesday. All four had been stateless, and their lack of citizenship deprived them of some basic benefits and rights, including the ability to travel outside of Chiang Rai, the northern province where they live. In all, 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach were trapped by the flooding until their dramatic rescue. Nopparat Kanthawong, the head coach of the Wild Boars team, said the four received official Thai ID cards along with another teammate who had not been in the cave but also applied for citizenship. “I’m happy,” he said. “I want to say that football can elevate the lives of kids whose families may not be in the best position.” Nopparat said he also submitted documentation this week to help apply for citizenship for seven other Wild Boar players who are stateless.

■ VENEZUELA

Arrest ordered for opposition leader after attack Venezuela’s Supreme Court has ordered the arrest of opposition leader and former congressional speaker Julio Borges in connection with last weekend’s failed attempt on the life of President Nicolas Maduro. The court said that Borges is also responsible for the attempted homicide of seven army officers who were injured in the attacks. The lawmaker was also charged with “terrorism, funding terrorism, and conspiracy

to commit crimes”. Borges, who remains a member of congress, is currently in neighbouring Colombia. The order to arrest Borges comes as the National Constituent Assembly debates lifting the immunity of various legislators accused of links to the attack on the president. Maduro was presiding over a military ceremony last weekend when attackers launched two drones carrying explosives toward the president, his wife

and other dignitaries. Electronic counter-measures diverted one drone and the second hit an apartment building several blocks away. The ceremony was being aired live on television and viewers could see images of Maduro and the first lady looking upward before security officers gathered around the president to shield him. Six alleged perpetrators are in custody. Earlier this week, Maduro

accused Borges and another lawmaker, Juan Requesens, of being involved in the attack. Primero Justicia, the party to which both lawmakers belong, denounced Requesens’ arrest from his home by the Sebin intelligence service. Borges also condemned the arrest of his colleague. “You are the only person who is responsible for the tragedy in the country,” Borges wrote on Twitter from Colombia. – EFE

Reviews were mixed, but a Barnes & Noble fiction buyer said in a statement released by co-publishers Alfred A Knopf and Little Brown and Co that The President is Missing had benefited from very strong word of mouth.

Hunt continues for earthquake victims Rescue efforts have intensified to find people buried in rubble following the earthquake that shook Indonesia’s Lombok island. The national disaster agency has stood by its latest death toll of 131 from Sunday’s quake despite other government agencies including the military reporting much higher figures. The governor of the province that includes Lombok, the military and the national search and rescue agency issued different death tolls that ranged from 226 to 381. But a disaster agency spokesman said the information from those sources was incomplete and had not been cross-checked for duplication.

Villagers gather at a temporary shelter after ﬂeeing their earthquake damaged village. PHOTO AP As the aid effort stepped up, volunteers and rescue personnel erected more temporary shelters for the tens of thousands left homeless on

Lombok by the magnitude 7.0 quake. Water, which has been in short supply due to a prolonged dry spell on the island,

as well as food and medical supplies were being distributed from trucks. Nearly 1,500 people are in hospital with serious injuries and more than 156,000 have been displaced due to the extensive damage to thousands of homes. Authorities said all the tourists who wanted to be evacuated from three outlying holiday islands due to power blackouts and damage to hotels had left by boat. The quake was the second in a week to hit Lombok. Indonesia is prone to earthquakes because of its location on the “Ring of Fire”, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin. – PA

Underwood pregnant Carrie Underwood says her family is adding “another fish to our pond”. The 35-year-old singer announced on Instagram that she and her husband, Mike Fisher, are expecting their second child. She said they are “absolutely over the moon”. Underwood and Fisher, a former NHL player for Ottawa, Canada, and Nashville, Tennessee, have a 3-yearold son, Isaiah. Underwood’s next album, Cry Pretty, is due out September. A tour will follow in 2019. The seven-time Grammy winner will join Brad Paisley as co-host of the Country Music Association Awards in November. It will be their 11th time together.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW WHEN

selling for the first time? People are often so focused on what it takes to buy a property that the thought of selling it never occurs to them. Home ownership is embedded in New Zealanders’ DNA, but most people experience changes in their lifestyle, family circumstances or work situation that will make them want – or need – to move on. Whatever your reasons, it’s important to take the time to think about what you want to achieve from the sale before you start the process. “Many people find it hard to be objective about their first home and this can have an impact on decision making when it comes to sale time,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate Authority (REA). “In this situation it can be helpful to look at it as an investment from which you want to get the best possible return.” A good way to start the process is to get an idea of the property’s current market value – either by using online tools, paying for a registered valuation or getting a current market appraisal (CMA) from a licensed real estate agent. While friends and family make good sounding-boards, you can’t beat the advice and guidance you’ll get from trained, experienced professionals. Depending on your needs and the type of property you’re selling, your support team is likely to include a lawyer or conveyancer, along with possibly a valuer, an accountant (if you have used the property for business purposes) and an insurer or lender. The other key figure for most Kiwi home sellers is a licensed real estate agent. “More than 90 per cent of residential properties in New Zealand are sold by licensed real estate agents, who work for the seller in return for a commission that’s usually based on a percentage of the sale price,” Lampen-Smith says. “It’s important to choose your agent well – remember that you are trusting them with what’s likely to be your biggest financial asset. Ask around for recommendations in your area and feel free to ‘interview’ a few before you make your final decision.

Don’t forget that you can negotiate with them on the costs and the range of the service they will provide you – talk to experienced friends or family or your lawyer if you’re not sure how to do this. Some will provide the full suite of services for you, others will require you to run your own open homes. You generally pay for what you get, you just need to decide what you want.” Some people rush into selling a property without thinking what costs are involved because they’re dazzled by the thought of a nice big cheque at the end. Talk to your bank or lender about what to expect – you may need to spend money on preparing the physical property for sale as well as paying legal fees, marketing and moving expenses. Talk to the real estate agent before embarking on any renovations as they will be able to tell you what buyers in your area expect.

Have you thought about where you’ll live when the property is sold? Could you cope if a buyer wanted a short settlement date and you had to move out sooner than expected? These are all things to consider before you start the process. There’s more information at www.settled.govt.nz. Lampen-Smith says it’s also crucial to remember your obligations as a seller. “Whether you sell with an agent or privately, you must be upfront about any issues or information that could be relevant to a buyer,” he says. Is there a gang house next door? Are there any signs of watertightness issues? Is there a stream at the back of the property that threatens to inundate the house after a lot of rain? Do you have the necessary consents and compliance documents for any work that was done? If you’re not sure what to

disclose, talk to your lawyer. “The best rule of thumb is to imagine yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer and think how you would feel if you discovered the seller had not been entirely truthful,” Lampen-Smith says. “If that’s not enough motivation, consider that a buyer may have the right to cancel the sale or renegotiate a reduced price if you have misrepresented anything to them. They may even be able to take you to court and claim damages.” Selling a property can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be life-destroying. Be thoughtful about your decisionmaking, seek advice from the experts and remember why you’re moving on. For independent advice on buying or selling property, check out settled.govt.nz.

With spring just around the corner there is plenty to keep us busy in the garden right now.

It’s now time to plant your brassicas. (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower etc). We also sell mixed vege that have a few of each of these products. When planting work in plenty of compost. Think about staggering your planting (adding some new seedlings every three to four weeks to ensure a long and plentiful crop.)

Plant beetroot, broad beans, lettuce, silverbeet, peas and rhubarb. Add general fertiliser and some mulch to give the soil a lift.

Prepare the rest of your soil for spring gardening. If you planted a cover crop like lupin turn this over into the soil.

*At the time of printing

If you haven’t already get your strawberry plants in. How about adding some strawberries to a hanging basket? In our house we have five to six plants per person to ensure a generous serving. Prune the last of your roses. Also check for aphids and spray new growth with Yates super shield to control insects, mites and disease. New roses can also be planted now. They like compost rich, well-drained soil. Add fertiliser fortnightly to ensure their success. Plant any new fruit trees now too. Fertilise all your trees by spreading it underneath the drip line. But be careful – fertiliser touching the trunk can burn the stem so don’t go too close. It’s time to turn your compost over. Compost can take around three months over winter to complete. If it needs a hurry up turn it more often.

You’ll know it’s ready when it looks like potting mix. Check how your grass is looking. Does it need revamping with some added fertiliser and grass seed? First rake up old leaves and other debris such as fallen camellia flowers. Fertiliser high in nitrogen will help prepare for new growth. If moss is a problem after a damp winter add some sulphate of iron to kill the moss. Grass seed will have more success

when the soil temperature has started to rise. Keep on top of your weeding. Weeding now will be a lot less work than weeding when they’ve taken off with spring growth. I take the little and often approach when it comes to weeding the garden and the lawn. There is an old saying “one year’s seeds make seven years’ weeds”. So, attacking the weeds before they go to seed really helps.

Awards well-deserved

ften there is an historical component in our stories. Perhaps because enthusiasts have shared information about their historic

vehicles. On other occasions historical facts have been mentioned, take for example a story about the car in which Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. That event took place in Sarajevo in 1914, and our story about the car was prefaced with a brief explanation of the factors which led up to the assassination and the horrific results which followed. After publication quite a few readers commented on an obvious interest in history and asked what prompted that. To a large extent credit must go to one of my former teachers – Brain Edmondston – who made history interesting. Sadly Brian passed away last week. Brian encouraged his pupils to look beyond an event and also consider its causes and effects. The assignation in Sarajevo 104 years ago was and will remain a major event in human history. Before publishing our take on it I ran those thoughts past Brian, he confirmed the summary and a particularly interesting discussion followed. At the time it seemed quite special to think a former teacher and former student could have a chat like that. And it confirmed what so many of us are fortunate to know – Brain Edmondston was a natural teacher. Because of Brian’s wonderful nature and clever sense of humour it was always easy to engage in interesting discussions with him. Brian himself has an important place in the history of our town and of Ashburton College. Having taught at Hakatere College he was among the very talented faculty who

Bernard Egan MOTORING

were original teachers at Ashburton College. He and Audrey came to Ashburton in 1964 to complete two years country service – a requirement at the time – thankfully they decided to stay for the remainder of Brian’s teaching career and into retirement. Brian influenced lots of people and taught them lots of things. We hope it comforts Audrey and her family to know Brian Edmondston is remembered for all sorts of reasons, not the least for being a wonderful gentleman, teacher and historian. History of another sort was recorded recently by the local Branch of the Vintage Car Club when three long service awards were presented. Les Nell and Ron Winchester each received 50-year membership badges. A similar badge recognising Jocelyn Hosken’s dedication was presented posthumously to her family. Interestingly these three members joined the Vintage Car Club before the local group gained full Branch status. Each has been a stalwart of the organisation and has encouraged and made a huge contribution to historic motoring. The Ashburton Branch itself will turn 50 next year and that milestone will be celebrated when it hosts the 2019 National South Island Easter Rally. Planning for that event which will attract many enthusiasts in a wide range of vehicles is well under way, with interesting rally routes being mapped out and some fun entertainment on the cards.

Michael Lavender, secretary/treasurer of the VIntage Car Club of NZ, made a posthumous presentation of Jocelyn Hosken’s 50 year award to her sister Judy Kingsbury.

Fifty years of membership in the Vintage Car Club was recognised for Les Nell.

Brian Edmondston quick quip. This writer was fortunate to have great teachers. There was an opportunity to acknowledge that at a function attended by some of them including Brian Edmondston. When referring to Brian the writer couldn’t resist saying “Brian teached me history”. Brian’s quick retort “yes that’s right and you did OK at it, but perhaps the same can’t be said of your English!”

Ron Winchester picks up his 50-year membership badge.

Tribute to a legend

elebrating one of the most important countries in its racing and family history, Brabham Automotive is teaming up with Michelin to debut the sensational Brabham BT62 in the United States, with a fitting tribute to American hero and ex-Brabham Formula 1 winner, Dan Gurney, at this year’s Monterey Car Week. Fresh from its public dynamic launch at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Brabham BT62 is set to win the hearts and minds of the American public at a series of prestigious events on the Monterey Peninsula. Working in conjunction with technical partner Michelin, the car will be centre stage on the tyre manufacturer’s stand at Laguna Seca on August 24 and 26. Over the week the car will also appear at the McCall’s Motorworks Revival and at the Exotics on Cannery Row. The BT62 will be proudly sporting a new tribute livery, in honour of Dan Gurney, the first ever driver to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix in a Brabham racing car. Finished in Brabham’s distinctive green and gold colours, it’s a homage to the Brabham BT7 that Gurney steered to victory at the French Grand Prix of 1964. A highly successful racing driver, race car constructor, and team owner in his own right, Gurney was the racer Sir Jack Brabham chose as his first team mate for his fledgling Brabham racing team back in 1963.

Heralding the start of an exciting new chapter for the iconic marque, the BT62 has been designed from the ground up to feature a host of unique engineering details and draws on the project team’s vast experience to create a car without equal. Crafted from lightweight carbon fibre, the BT62’s exterior surface and aggressive aerodynamic package combine to strike the optimal balance between function and form. Pure-bred for the track, the car is powered by a Brabham naturally-aspirated 5.4-litre capacity V8 engine, boasting a power-to-weight ratio of 730ps per tonne and a dry weight of just 972kg. The launch of the Brabham BT62 in the United States coincides with the marque’s 70th anniversary – a period which has brought Brabham, the team and the family, great success around the world, and no more so than

in North America. The scene of countless Brabham victories and firsts over many years, North America holds a special place in the family’s heart. Proudly presenting the Brabham BT62, a car truly worthy of carrying the iconic Brabham name, triple 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, two-time American Le Mans Series winner

Brabham Automotive founder David Brabham, will be at Monterey for the week of celebration and the next chapter in the evolving Brabham story.

Presented in green and gold, in celebration of its proud Australian roots, the Brabham BT62 at Monterey Car Week wears a tribute livery to Dan Gurney’s Brabham BT7.

R IS FOR RECORD

n the fifth and final of a planned series of lap record attempts across Europe in 2018, Honda has set a new 2 minute 10.19sec record for a front wheel drive production car at the Hungaroring GP circuit in Hungary. The Civic Type R was driven by Formula One World Champion and current NSX Super GT driver, Jenson Button. The track holds special significance for Button, as the circuit where he won the first Grand Prix of his career with Honda in 2006. The Hungaroring circuit is a twisty and narrow 4.38km track with 180degree corners and a complex chicane, making it one of the more technical tracks in Europe. However, this proved to be a perfect demonstration of the Civic Type R’s Adaptive Damper System, delivering a firmer, flatter ride and greater agility for high performance handling around the tight circuit. Alongside the suspension system, the unique steering setup and improved aerodynamics enabled Button to secure the lap record for Honda at the Grand Prix circuit. Speaking about the lap record, Jenson Button said: “We came here to the Hungaroring, where I won my first F1 race in 2006 with Honda, to set a new frontwheel drive production lap record in the new Type R, and I’m very happy that we did it!” Commenting on the Type R itself, he added: “The first thing I noticed when I left the pit lane was how neutral the car was. “I come from a background that is not front-wheel drive focused, so it was very different for me but because the Type R is so well balanced it was instantly really enjoyable and more natural. “The thing that surprised me most is how late you can brake with this car. “The manual gearbox works really well, too. Most cars these days don’t come with manual boxes, so it’s nice to have that manual feel. “You always feel a lot more connected to the car.”

“ Honda set the original benchmark time for Hungaroring during a similar challenge in 2016, using the previous generation Civic Type R. This new benchmark time is the fifth front-wheel drive lap record set by Honda in The Type R Challenge 2018, achieving the objective set out by the challenge, which was thought up after the Type R became the fastest frontwheel drive production car ever round the Nürburgring Nordschleife in April 2017, with a lap time of 7 minutes 43.8 seconds. These six records cement the Civic Type R’s position as the quickest car in its class. The challenge saw five of Honda’s racing champions put the car through its paces around five tracks in Europe, setting new record lap times for a frontwheel drive production car. WTCR driver Tiago Monteiro set a lap record of 2mins 01.84secs at Estoril circuit in Portugal. BTCC legend Matt Neal set a lap record of 2mins 31.32secs at Silverstone in the UK. Japense Super GT star, Betrand Baguette, set a record of 2mins 53.72secs at SpaFrancorchamps in Belgium. WTCR driver, Esteban Guerrieri set a new 2mins 1.51secs lap at the MagnyCours GP circuit in France. Newly engineered from the ground up to deliver the most rewarding driving experience of any Civic Type R, this latest generation Civic development programme is the largest in Honda’s history. The high performance hatchback remains the quickest and fastest accelerating car in its class, lent to a combination of its lightweight, highly rigid body shell and unique dual-axis strut front suspension system, which reduces torque steer and conquers hard cornering. Button finished with: “This new Type R is a mega bit of kit, as they always have been, and it’s definitely not lost any of its charm.”

for your

driving pleasure

he BMW i8 is the sports car of the future in the showrooms of today. The 2+2 seater has been a technological pioneer and the world’s best-selling hybrid sports car since it arrived in 2014. Now in 2018 it is joined by a new model that adds further allure to the arena of sustainable driving pleasure. The all new BMW i8 Roadster takes the combination of emissions-free and highperformance motoring and adds open-top thrills. It is unique in offering such performance and silent acceleration with the pure sensation of roof-down driving. First shown as a concept car back at the Beijing Motor Show in 2012, the BMW i8 Concept Spyder showed what a roofless version of the, as yet, unlaunched i8 Coupé might look like. It too featured clever packaging and dihedral doors despite the design challenges of not having a fixed roof. Jump forward to 2018 and much of that striking original concept car has been retained in this finished vehicle. From innovative packaging of the roof, through to retaining the iconic doors and maintain the i8 family side profile, something many roadsters and convertibles fail to do when switching from hard-top to soft-top variant. Driver and passenger in the all-new BMW i8 Roadster will look up to find either the open sky or a high-quality, all-season fabric soft-top with high-level soundproofing. All-electric operation ensures the roof opens or closes in an almost silent hush, within 15 seconds and while travelling at up to 31mph. This makes the i8 Roadster the BMW with the fastest opening roof across all the company’s models. The i8 Roadster is unique in offering a fabric soft-top which stows into a perpendicular position in the rear when opened.

This allows for far better packaging and day to day practicality. The three segments of the roof fold vertically in a Z-shape, thus taking up very little space and leaving an additional 100 litres of storage capacity between the roof box and the seats. This is in addition to the 88 litres of cargo space in the rear compartment. Opening the roof raises the rear window automatically by around 30mm, reducing air turbulence inside the cabin and ensuring passengers can enjoy the pleasure of open-top driving with minimal disturbance. The driver can adjust the height of the

“

fully made model-specific badges bearing the inscription Roadster. A similar logo can be found on the tail of the two-seater. The design cues common to the i8 Coupé also appear on the i8 Roadster and include dihedral doors that open forwards and upwards as well as optimised aerodynamics. The low bonnet, the BMW kidney grille, air flap control system, Air Curtains in the front apron, sealed underbody, contoured side skirts, stream flow lines of the car’s flanks, and air ducts between the rear lights and roof frame allow the air to be channeled extremely effectively. The i8 Roadster is equipped with

It is unique in offering such performance and silent acceleration with the pure sensation of roof-down driving

window at the touch of a button and control airflow as desired. Intelligent, lightweight design and innovative production technology play a key role in the car’s construction. For example, aluminum elements connecting the roof with the body of the car are produced via a new 3D printing process. This manufacturing method breaks new ground and allows the parts to be produced in a geometric form, which would not be possible using conventional casting techniques. The framework was provided by the new LifeDrive vehicle architecture for BMW i models, whose horizontally split structure comprising an aluminium chassis and a CFRP passenger cell offers an exceptional degree of design freedom. The C-pillars are adorned with beauti-

exclusive 20-inch light-alloy wheels in a W-spoke design. Intelligent lightweight design also makes an impact here, with each wheel weighing around one kilogram less than the lightest wheels previously available for the i8. The progressive style of the i8 Roadster shines through clearly in the interior design. Standard specification for both includes a sports steering wheel and multi-functional instrument display plus Carpo interior trim comprising full-leather upholstery in Ivory White for the Coupé and Ivory White/Black for the Roadster. The new BMW i8 Roadster is powered by a hybrid synchronous electric motor and a three-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The engine’s power is fed to the rear wheels through a

six-speed Steptronic transmission, while the electric motor propels the front wheels via a two-speed automatic gearbox. The end result is a hybrid-specific allwheel-drive system that glues the car to the road. However, to enhance low emissions running and overall performance the number of driving situations where the electric motor is solely responsible for powering the car has been significantly increased. By contrast, the combustion engine is only brought into play when accelerating hard, and is switched off again more frequently with a measured driving style. The improved technology means the i8 Roadster can cover up to 33 miles with zero emissions, broadening the reach of allelectric mobility well beyond the city limits. The battery cells’ higher capacity means that the proportion of all-electric driving can be increased substantially, even in hybrid mode. With the default driving mode engaged, the i8 Roadster is capable of pulling away and reaching speeds of up to 65mph purely on the electric motor’s power, making it possible to drive with zero emissions not just in town, but on country roads as well. If the eDrive button is pressed, the all-electric threshold is increased further to 75mph. The i8’s combustion engine has also undergone further improvements. The turbocharged three-cylinder unit featuring direct injection and VALVETRONIC variable valve timing extracts a maximum output of 231hp from its displacement of just 1.5-litres, plus peak torque of 320Nm. It generates a distinctive soundtrack that now has an even sportier note when its power reserves are called upon. The system output produced by the electric motor and engine acting in unison has increased to 374hp. The new i8 Roadster has an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.

OUR VIEW

Technology creates a dangerous world A

n incident at Ashburton College this week has highlighted the dangerous world we now live in thanks to technology. A teacher, who was guiding what appears to be a student who is behaving badly from the classroom, was filmed in the process and that video was sent by an anonymous Facebook user to various media outlets around Canterbury. Now, had this been a case of a teacher bashing a child over the head with a textbook or behaving in an unacceptable manner, then we might have had a story on our hands, but instead we appear to have a premeditated incident in

which students were at the ready with cameras ready to roll. The restrictions placed on our teachers when it comes to contact with students are strenuous to say the least. Any one hand out of place and a whole can of worms can surface. But in the instance which surfaced this week, there appears to be no real reason to be con-

cerned with what unfolded and if anything, the teacher was doing a good job of trying to ensure the remainder of his class received a valuable lesson. A certain amount of disrespect has arisen between students and their teachers across New Zealand – and the strict laws in place, which leave little to no moving room for a teacher, are only making things harder. In days long before I was at school a little corporal punishment went a long way to sorting out unruly behaviour – but that kind of retribution for disruptive actions these days would see the teacher facing disciplinary proceedings.

Basically, if a kid is being a brat in the classroom, there’s not much a teacher can do about it. Verbal exchanges will only ever go so far and for many of the youth out there today, words are turned around and thrown back in the teacher’s face. Add to that the threat that now almost every student will be walking around with a recording capable device at the ready and any minor incident, such as that shown to us this week, will attempt to be blown way out of proportion. Our teaching stocks are struggling. There’s no hiding from that fact. I read somewhere this week that

400-metre freestyle relay team, anchored by 41-year-old Dara Torres, took the silver behind the Netherlands. Stephanie Rice of Australia won the gold in the women’s 400-metre individual medley in a world record time of 4:29.45. Five years ago: A harrowing week-long search for a missing California teenager ended when FBI agents rescued 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and shot and killed 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio at a campsite deep in the Idaho wilderness.

(Authorities say in addition to kidnapping Hannah, DiMaggio killed her brother and mother at his home east of San Diego.) One year ago: North Korea’s military described as a “load of nonsense” Trump’s warning that the North would face “fire and fury” if it threatened the United States. Today’s birthdays: Actress Rhonda Fleming is 95. Singer Ronnie Spector is 75. Actor James Reynolds is 72. Rock singer-musician Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) is 71. Singer Patti

Austin is 68. Actor Daniel Hugh Kelly is 66. Folk singersongwriter Sam Baker is 64. Actress Rosanna Arquette is 59. Actor Antonio Banderas is 58. Rock musician Jon Farriss (INXS) is 57.

the average age of teachers in New Zealand is closer to 50 than it is to 30 and that too should be a worrying sign. There’s little incentive to teach anymore, really. So many do it for the love of helping grow and nurture young minds, but the downfalls of what is not allowed to be done is probably far outweighing a lot of the positives. Teachers should be able to focus on what is important, and that’s the students who are there to learn and make the most of school, but the amount of time and the amount of restrictions in place around teaching is making that a hard task. Something has to change.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, August 10, the 222nd day of 2018. There are 143 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On August 10, 1792, during the French Revolution, mobs in Paris attacked the Tuileries Palace, where King Louis XVI resided. (The king was later arrested, put on trial for treason, and executed.) On this date: In 1846, President James K. Polk signed a measure establishing the Smithsonian Institution. In 1861, Confederate forces routed Union troops in the Battle of Wilson’s Creek in Missouri, the first major engagement of the Civil War west of the Mississippi River. In 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with polio at his summer home on the Canadian island of Campobello. In 1969, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were murdered in their Los Angeles home by members of Charles Manson’s cult, one day after actress Sharon Tate and four other people were slain. In 1977, postal employee David Berkowitz was arrested in Yonkers, New York, accused of being Son of Sam, the gunman who killed six people and wounded seven others in the New York City area. (Berkowitz is serving six consecutive 25-yearsto-life sentences.) In 1991, nine Buddhists were found slain at their temple outside Phoenix, Arizona. (Two teenagers were later arrested; one was sentenced to life in prison, while the other received 281 years.) In 2006, British authorities announced they had thwarted a terrorist plot to simultaneously blow up 10 aircraft heading to the US using explosives smuggled in hand luggage. Ten years ago: At the Beijing Olympics, Michael Phelps began his long march toward eight gold medals by winning the 400-metre individual medley in 4:03.84 — smashing his own world record. The US women’s

Angie Harmon is 46. Country singer Jennifer Hanson is 45. Actress JoAnna Garcia Swisher is 39. Singer Cary Ann Hearst (Shovels & Rope) is 39. Rhythmand-blues singer Nikki Bratcher (Divine) is 38. Actor Aaron Staton is 38. Actor Ryan Eggold is 34. Actor Charley Koontz is 31. Actor Lucas Till is 28. Reality TV star Kylie Jenner is 21.

The best way to beat Mondayitis is don’t get dog tired over the weekend and make sure you get a good night’s sleep on Sunday, or failing that, watch some clips of animal antics.

What a fantastic weekend M

addy had a sleepover at her cousin’s place on Saturday night, which was perfect timing wise because Manda and I had two milestones to celebrate. The first in Hinds, helping my workmate Mel ease into the 40’s. The best present she got by far was her husband saying “Yes”. They renewed their vows as part of the celebrations. Damo was completely oblivious to this part of the evening, I’m sure Mel wanted it to be a nice surprise and the idea of no time to ‘run for the hills’ wasn’t a factor. The second was Uncle Brian and Aunty Bev’s 60th wedding anniversary celebration dinner at the MSA. How amazing is that! It was great to see all the rellies there. It was very touching to see the best man and bridesmaid there celebrating also. Two parties attended and still home in time for the second half of the rugby, boy things have changed! Sunday afternoon Manda and I went for a lap around the river track with her bro Sam and partner Rachel. The track is in awesome condition at the moment, very smooth riding. It was great to see around a dozen kids of all sizes using the skills park at the back of the ACL

yard. The volunteers who do all the work on the track are doing a mint job! But like all good things it must come to an end. The Sunday evening blues weren’t as bad as usual because Maddy returned home around 5pm so that was a lift to the spirits. They normally set in around dinner time on a Sunday eh? With that in mind, here’s a plan I have come across to make your Mondays less miserable. ■ Get a good sleep Sunday night: Monday’s are tough enough without adding sleep deprived to the pain. Maybe a relaxing bath after dinner before hitting the scratcher. Even if it means skipping that Sunday nap, starting your week with a good sleep the night before helps you start things in the right frame of mind. ■ Wear yellow: This colour elicits feelings of euphoria in whoever sees them. And if yellow doesn’t look good on

you, just add a pop of colour to your desk decor for a mood boost that’ll last all day. Avoid social media: It can do more harm than good. When your friends complain on social media, their stress can be contagious. (Apart from Hoops On Air Facebook page of course). Spruce up your office space with a potted plant: Studies show that it will brighten your mood and create a calming environment conducive to getting stuff done. I have two pot plants in the studio (not that kind of pot either, thank you). One named Robert and one named Nuclear. Have caffeine – but not too much: Monday mornings are the wrong time to start kicking that habit. A little bit of brew in moderation can prevent mood swings that might arise later in the day. (I am choosing to ignore the ‘not too much’ comment). Plan lunch: Having something to look forward to – like a delicious and undemanding lunch – can turn a miserable morning into a productive one. And when you step outside, you’ll feel a rush of endorphins, thanks to the fresh air of the great outdoors.

Load up your schedule: Plan as many activities as possible, as idling around gives way to boredom and depressive thoughts. ■ Go out of your way to do something nice for someone: Just one simple act of kindness is enough to lift your spirits and improve your well-being. (Research says your spirits will be lifter higher if that act of kindness is directed at radio announcers). ■ Watch a cat video: Or a dog video if you prefer. Taking a few minutes to indulge zaps you with a burst of energy and rids you of unpleasant emotions like anxiety, anger, and frustration. (I prefer Fail Army videos, is it wrong that other people’s misfortune makes me happy?) (The best way to make Mondays less miserable? three day weekends!) ■

‘Watch, worry, wait’ – RB governor “Watch, worry and wait.” That’s Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr’s assessment after the bank kept its official cash rate at 1.75 per cent. The Bank surprised no one by leaving its rate unchanged but caught the market off guard by extending the period where it was likely to remain at that level by a year. The surprise move drove the New Zealand dollar down by a US cent at one point to its lowest level since early 2016 as it dawned on traders that the risks to the economy looked to be skewed to the downside. While there was no change to the rate, the time extension was seen as the bank becoming more “dovish” – or accommodating – in its stance. At a news conference following the release the bank’s monetary policy statement, Orr said the risks to the economy were balanced, so that the next move in the OCR could be be up or down. “We are comfortable where we are,” he said. “We will do what central banks do best, which is watch, worry and wait,” Orr said. The OCR has been on hold since November 2016.

Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr kept its official cash rate at 1.75 per cent. Phil Borkin, senior macro strategist at ANZ, said financial markets were caught off guard by the likely duration of the current low interest rate regime. “I think people are realising that it’s going to take a lot for the Reserve Bank to hike from here,” Borkin said. “They are not worried about inflation at all and they are much more worried about the stability and persistence of any growth,” he said. “And the risks to growth are obviously skewed to the downside at

he told the Herald in a phone interview. “The economy is still doing OK. It is still growing, but it’s not growing quite as much as we expected,” Bascand said. “That means that a rise in inflation and a tightening of the labour market is just a bit delayed.” The output gap – a measure of the difference between the actual output of an economy and the output it could achieve at full capacity – would be softer for longer. “The story we are telling is one of good growth. It’s not a story of gloom. It is a story of taking slightly longer to get to a target.” Westpac chief economist Dominick Stephens said it appeared the Reserve Bank had accepted that economic growth is falling short of its previous, bullish forecasts. “The intensity of the Reserve Bank’s reaction today to the slowdown in growth surprised us and financial markets,” he said in a commentary. By late on Thursday the New Zealand dollar was trading at US66.80c – its lowest point since early February 2016 – down from US67.50c just before the release. The low for the day of US66.60c. - NZME

the moment,” Borkin said. In a statement, Orr said that while recent economic growth had moderated, the bank expected it to pick up pace over the rest of this year and be maintained through 2019. Robust global growth and a lower New Zealand dollar exchange rate would support export earnings, he said. “At home, capacity and labour constraints promote business investment, supported by low interest rates,” he said. “Government spending and in-

vestment is also set to rise, while residential construction and household spending remain solid,” Orr said. There were some “welcome” early signs of core inflation rising. Inflation will increase towards 2 per cent over the projection period as capacity pressures bite, Orr said. “This path may be bumpy, however, with one-off price changes from global oil prices, a lower exchange rate, and announced petrol excise tax rises expected,” he said. Orr said the bank would keep the OCR “at an expansionary level” for a considerable period to contribute to maximising sustainable employment and maintaining low and stable inflation. The central bank revised down its forecast of the average rate of GDP growth in the four quarters to Q1 2019 from 3.1 per cent to 2.6 per cent. Deputy governor Geoff Bascand said the slightly slower growth in the economy had brought about a change in the bank’s thinking. “We have had slightly slower growth for a while and that means that the expected pick-up in capacity pressure has been delayed,”

Local reporting season ramps up M arkets have continued to digest company results this week as the global reporting season starts to wind up and our local reporting season has now begun. Trade tensions continue to be reflected in overseas markets, and at the end of last week, China retaliated on the US threat of increased tariffs by saying they would impose tariffs of 5-25 per cent on some $US60 billion of US goods (including agricultural and chemicals products). While most equity markets traded lower through the week the US market bucked the trend and continues to rise as strong earnings and a solid jobs report offset fears of escalating trade tensions. Last Friday the US non-farm payroll numbers came in just slightly below estimates with 157,000 jobs added in July. The headline unemployment rate dropped to 3.9 per cent from 4 per cent, in line with expectations, which puts it at the lowest level in decades. Looking at the global reporting season, nearly 90 per cent of S&P 500 companies have now released their second quarter results. Of those, 71 per cent of companies have beaten revenue forecasts and 83 per cent have exceeded earnings estimates. However, there have been some notable disappointments this season with Facebook losing about a fifth of their value and Disney shares dropping more than 2 per cent after posting weaker than expected earnings and revenue. Turning to our local market, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

(RBNZ), released its survey of expectations for the September quarter. Results from the survey showed respondents saw a small increase in expectations for short-term inflation, while the unemployment rate was expected to decrease further, and wage growth was expected to rise. As expected, Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr kept the Official Cash Rate unchanged at 1.75 per cent on Thursday. He now expects to keep rates on hold through 2019 and into the second half of 2020, after expectations for a move around in the third quarter of 2019. The New Zealand dollar fell to 66 cents against the US dollar following the announcement. The latest Global Dairy Trade auction showed no change in the overall index, as dairy prices remained steady. Whole milk powder prices were broadly flat, up only 0.1 per cent at $US2958 a tonne, after staging a modest recovery at the prior auction. In Australia, the Reserve Bank of Australia held rates as expected, keeping their official interest rate at 1.5 per cent. The benchmark interest rate has now remained unchanged for a record period of two years, with economists expecting this to continue

until potentially 2020. Locally the August reporting season is now upon us, with a handful of companies reporting this week, before things get very busy over the following fortnight. Sky City reported a rebound in net profit, driven by its VIP international business customers. The company reported net profit of $169.5m for the year to June, up from $44.9m in the prior year. Key drivers were strong growth in international business, continued growth in Auckland and improved performance in Adelaide. Property for Industry also reported, announcing its half year net profit was $29.6m, helped by valuation gains and cost savings. In Australia, Transurban produced another solid full year result, though FY19 distribution guidance was below market expectations. The company awaits the result of its bid on Westconnex motorways. Commonwealth Bank announced its first full year net profit decline for the first time since 2009 due to regulatory fines. Next week the New Zealand and Australian reporting season ramps up and we will see Contact Energy, Freightways, National Australia Bank, Cochlear, Summerset and PGG Wrightson report early in the week.

On track to defend title By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

With only one more game to go before the finals, the Ashburton College/Mount Hutt College girls’ combined first XV rugby side are on track to defend their Aoraki girls’ rugby title. The Ashburton/Mount Hutt team played their final home game of the competition on Wednesday night, downing Timaru’s Roncalli College 38-7, and were sitting at the top of the leaderboard alongside Craighead with only Geraldine left to play in the round robin. They’d play Geraldine in Geraldine next weekend before heading into the finals, where if results went as expected they’d end up lining up against Craighead in what should be a hardfought final. Ashburton/Mount Hutt coach Grant Elvines said his side had only lost one game so far this season and that was their first game, against Craighead. They

lost that one 27-20, but the second time the two sides met this season Ashburton/Mount Hutt turned the tables and won 17-10. “Craighead has a very good team this year, so hopefully it will be us and them in the final, and that will be a cracker game,” Elvines said. Last year, Timaru Girls’ High School were Ashburton/Mount Hutt’s biggest opposition. The two sides met in the final and Ashburton/Mount Hutt won 6440. “We got off to an absolute flyer and they just kept mowing us down,” Elvines said. “Even though it was 20 points in the end, with a few minutes to go it could have gone either way. I was a cot case, to be honest.” That team featured Mount Hutt’s Te Moananui triplets – Chloe, Erana and Jamee – who had been an integral part of the Ashburton/Mount Hutt team over the past three years and heading into this season, with

the triplets having finished school, some questioned how the Ashburton/Mount Hutt team would go without them, Elvines said. But they needn’t have worried. “The 15 girls on the paddock have all stepped up. They’ve sort of come out of the shadows,” Elvines said. “They can all do what the triplets could, and now it’s their turn to blossom. “Every team evolves. You lose players one season and the next season you get new ones in. It’s not just us, it’s the All Blacks as well, like when Richie McCaw and Dan Carter finished up, people were worried.” Like the All Blacks, Ashburton/Mount Hutt had shown they were still a force to be reckoned with, and they were hopeful they could go all the way again this season and take the competition out. Last year, Ashburton/Mount Hutt went through the whole

season unbeaten. The year before that they lost just one game, and the year before that, they were unbeaten. “Losing just isn’t on our radar. The girls have always been competitive, but don’t get me wrong, it’s a really good competition – the Timaru schools are really strong,” Elvines said. Unfortunately for them, Ashburton/Mount Hutt had proven to be just that little bit stronger in recent years. Elvines said while the 38-7 scoreline against Roncalli on Wednesday may have flattered his side a little, he was still impressed by much of what his side produced. “The first half was really good rugby. The girls just struggled a bit with the wet weather to be honest,” Elvines said. With the competition’s semifinals and final played in Timaru, the game against Roncalli was Ashburton/Mount Hutt’s final home game for the competition.

Double header a family affair for the Papali’is Friday night’s Warriors double header will be a family affair in more ways than one for mother and son pair Lorina and Isaiah Papali’i. The duo will make history as the first mother and son to represent the same NRL club at the same time when Lorina runs out at Mt Smart Stadium for the Warriors women’s side’s first trial match against the Auckland women’s representative team, before Isaiah lines up for the NRL clash against the Newcastle Knights. The night will hold extra

significance for the Papali’is with Lorina and Isaiah both looking to represent her uncle, Steve Tavita, whose hopes of an NRL career were cut tragically short while coming through the grades with the Knights during the 80s. Lorina was also raised in Newcastle and the connection between club and family continued when Isaiah made his Warriors debut against the Knights in round one of last season, before making his second appearance against Newcastle in the round 22 clash at McDonald Jones Sta-

dium. “I’m really excited. [It will be] quite a sentimental night,” said Lorina. “My uncle, he’s actually in a wheelchair from playing league. He was in the system for the Newcastle Knights. “So having Isaiah play against the Newcastle Knights, that brings back memories of him and his campaign to play for Newcastle. “I grew up in Newcastle so it’s a sentimental night as well.” In just his second season of

first grade, 19-year-old Isaiah has cemented himself as a starting second-rower in the Stephen Kearney coached side. The former Mt Albert Grammar rugby star has quickly built a reputation as a tireless worker in defence and in recent weeks has been able to showcase his offloading and attacking skills. He intends on altering his preparation to get to the ground early to make sure he can watch on and support his mum before worrying about his own game. - NZME

Australian golfer Jarrod Lyle has died after a long struggle with cancer. He was 36. “It breaks my heart to tell everyone that Jarrod is no longer with us,” the golfer’s wife, Briony Lyle, said in a statement yesterday. “He passed away peacefully at 8.20pm last night having spent his final week among his family and close friends.” Briony Lyle said her husband had asked her to pass on a “simple message: ‘Thanks for your support, it meant the world. My time was short, but if I’ve helped people think and act on behalf of those families who suffer through cancer, hopefully it wasn’t wasted’.” Lyle, who won twice on the Nationwide Tour in 2008, was first diagnosed with leukaemia as a teenager and suffered recurrences of the disease in 2012 and 2017. He returned to the US PGA Tour in 2013 after apparently having beaten cancer for a second time. But the illness returned and Lyle last week announced his decision to forego further treatment and enter palliative care. He was survived by Briony and daughters Lusi, 6, and Jemma, 2. “Lusi, Jemma and I are filled with grief and now must confront our lives without the greatest husband and father we could ever have wished for,” Briony Lyle said. “At the same time, we have been blessed and overwhelmed with the messages and actions of support from around the world and feel comforted that Jarrod was able to happily impact so many people throughout his life. Our humble thanks to you all.” Lyle was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 1999 when he was 17. He spent much of the next nine months in a hospital in Melbourne and it was another year after that before he could walk around a golf course. He gradually reduced his handicap to scratch and earned a golf scholarship before turning professional in 2004. He qualified for the Asian Tour in 2005 and started playing on the second tier of the US tour in 2006. After an another setback he made an emotional comeback to a Victorian state golf course during the 2013 Australian Masters before using a medical exemption to play on the US PGA Tour in 2015. Lyle underwent a bone marrow transplant last December following a recurrence of acute myeloid leukaemia but opted recently not to continue with treatment after saying he’d “reached his limit” and that he and his doctors had agreed that a “positive outcome” was no longer achievable. Lyle’s sense of humour and courageous comebacks made him popular with fans and fellow golfers. - NZME

Two wins for Ashburton By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s senior girls’ basketball team ticked off one of their 2018 goals on Tuesday night, beating Cashmere 86-51 at the Oxford Street Stadium to see them into the Whelan Trophy’s play-off for sixth spot. Ranked last in the division one competition heading into the Canterbury secondary schools’ basketball competition, next week’s play-off for sixth against Middleton meant they would finish higher than their seeding, which coach Mark Douglas said was one of their goals at the start of the competition. Douglas said the win over Cashmere was his side’s best defensive effort of the season. “After making some adjustments at halftime and increasing the work-rate the team were able to apply pressure up the court leading to scoring off turnover ball. “Swish Pierce and Raspberry Strawbridge did a great job of getting in the passing lanes and disrupting their flow, along with Sam Tuck and Sophie Adams in the middle of the press,” Douglas said.

“Summer Anderson and Tessa Thompson were rocks at the back and along with Taryn Douglas passing bullets to the post, Alena Patterson driving the lane and Tessa Thompson making shots, the whole team were locked in and playing some exciting basketball.” After taking on Middleton in the play-off next week, the Ashburton girls would head to the South Island championships in Invercargill with the goal of qualifying for the nationals. Meanwhile, in the boys’ Thomson Trophy division two competition, the Ashburton College boys picked up an impressive 116-56 win over Lincoln High School. Lincoln were vying for a playoff position and on a 3-0 run heading into the game, with guard Cody Wareham averaging close to 36 points for those last three games, and Ashburton’s key to success was negating his effectiveness, Ashburton College coach Brian Kerr said. Ashburton employed a full court zone press and caused major problems for Lincoln as they regularly turned the ball over gifting easy layups.

Along with the easy fast break baskets, Abel Wilson slotted a trio of three pointers to help his side gallop away to a 32–6 lead at the end of the first quarter, with strong defensive play by the Ashburton guards only allowing the Lincoln danger man a solitary basket. The second quarter continued in the same vein, with the Ashburton guards smothering Wareham, while their offence found the mark from the perimeter, landing six more threepointers. Only when Ashburton’s zone press began to tire a little did Lincoln find a bit more freedom to score, but the damage had been done and Ashburton went into the halftime break up 68–25. Kerr said it was a game that virtually ended after the first quarter. “This was the best the boys had run the zone press this season. They were hungry and just played good trapping defence,” Kerr said. “They also transitioned well once we scored to get into their positions to run the press. The best parts were when changes

were made to the starters – the guys off the bench kept up that transition and intensity.” Kerr said Quinn Ritchie did a particularly good job of not allowing Wareham any space, while Abel Wilson had a good return knocking down five three pointers for his tally of 21. Marc Juntilla also terrorised the Lincoln guards, top-scoring with 26 points and Penuel Pantaleon added 16 with another good all-round display. Fotu Hala also netted 23 points. “He’s got a complete game. He’s a strong rebounder, is a good perimeter shooter and dangerous on the drive to the basket, plus he has a good read of the game,” Kerr said. “He is a pivot in the transition from defence to offence which allows our fast break to function. Most pleasing is his consistency.” He said it was a good game for building confidence and for all players, including the bench, to feeling part of that overall team dynamic. “We had a plan for this game, which the boys implemented and then stuck to it really well. Really pleased with the effort.”

Retiring Southern Steel captain Wendy Frew was not ready to draw the curtain on her stellar career as she led her side to a stunning victory in the ANZ Premiership elimination final. The Steel defeated the Mainland Tactix 53-49 in front of a passionate home crowd at Invercargill’s Wendy Frew Stadium which was temporarily renamed in honour of the skipper’s final home game. The Southern side will now go on to contest their second consecutive ANZ Premiership final when they face the Central Pulse on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Tactix will return home empty-handed and bitterly disappointed after a historic season that saw the Mainlanders break a bunch of franchise records. But the visitors didn’t go down easily with a resilient performance that kept the Steel on guard. Tactix captain Jane Watson and star defender Temalisi Fakahokotau were in formidable form once again as the pair proved why they had earnt the reputation as the top defending duo in the league. Fakahokotau’s feisty nature quickly put the Steel’s Jen O’Connell under pressure as the young shooter showed some hesitancy in the opening quarter. But standing her ground under the hoop, O’Connell remained consistently accurate to secure her side a slim three-goal lead. Meanwhile, Silver Fern midcourter Shannon Francois caused early problems for pocket-rocket Tactix centre Kimiora Poi. Francois’ swift movement and tight defence slowed down Poi’s ability to feed the ball from the circle edge as the tall Ellie Bird fought for space under the hoop. Tactix head coach Marianne Delaney-Hoshek called Australian import Kate Beveridge onto the court in the second quarter in a bid to catch up with the surging Steel. Beveridge found good connection with Bird around the circle but the star goal attack’s presence failed to make an immediate impact as the Steel extended their lead to six. However, as the force of Fakahokotau and Watson’s defence unit took full effect, the Tactix suddenly turned things around. As their Southern rivals edged their way back one turnover at a time, the Steel were robbed of their lead with the Tactix securing a one-goal advantage at halftime. Both teams delivered an accurate and intense third stanza, Fakahokotau adding to the drama with a speedy timeout to fix a split lip. But as the see-saw affair continued throughout the final quarter, the Steel made back lost ground as the Tactix struggled to hold it together in the final minutes of the Southern derby. In an exciting finish, the Steel stormed ahead to secure the win and keep a perfect 11 for 11 home ground winning record. The Steel will play the Pulse at 4.10pm on Sunday afternoon at Palmerston North’s Fly Palmy Arena. - NZME

Finals berths on the line By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Finals berths go on the line for two Mid Canterbury hockey teams in the Mid/South Canterbury senior hockey competition this weekend. Having finished top of their respective tables at the end of three rounds of competition, both the Hampstead senior women’s side and the Wakanui senior men’s side would have home turf advantage for this weekend’s semifinals. Wakanui were set to open a big afternoon of hockey at the Ashburton hockey turf tomorrow, taking on Northern Hearts in their semi-final at 1pm, with Hampstead to follow against Cambridge at 2.45pm. The Mid/South Canterbury senior hockey competition finals set up meant for both the men’s and women’s competitions, the team that finished top of the table took on the team that finished second in one semi-final, while

the teams that finished third and fourth played in the other. The team that won that one versus two semi would go straight through to the final, while the loser of that game would play the winner of the three versus four game, with the winner of that game taking the other spot in the final. For both Hampstead and Wakanui that meant a win tomorrow would send them straight to their respective finals. If they lost, they’d get a second chance to make the final next weekend against the winner of the Temuka versus Cambridge match for the men, and the Geraldine versus Timaru Girls’ High School (TGHS) game for the women. For Hampstead coach Rex Turnbull, the whole season came down to the next two weeks. His side hadn’t been beaten all season, with two draws with Geraldine the closest any team had come to downing them, but that unblemished record meant noth-

ing if they lost at the end, Turnbull said. “If we play as a team we will be fine, but semi-finals can put different pressure on people and people respond differently. So it will be a test of character for them,” Turnbull said. Hampstead finished the round robin second to TGHS last season, but downed them in the one versus two semi-final in a penalty shoot out to go straight to the final, where they then met TGHS again and this time lost the deciding penalty shoot-out. Over in the men’s competition, Wakanui’s run to the finals hadn’t been as smooth as Hampstead’s. They’d lost two games and drawn two games during the season, but it had been a tight competition and they’d done enough to finish on top, nine points clear of Northern Hearts. One of their draws this season came just a week ago, 4-all against Cambridge, and they’d be looking to step it up a notch against

Northern Hearts. The last time Wakanui played Northern Hearts was on June 30, and Wakanui won that one 4-2, but past results don’t mean a lot come finals. Although they’d been one of the traditionally strong teams in recent seasons of the Mid/South Canterbury competition, last season wasn’t one of Wakanui’s best, as they finished the round robin down the opposite end of the points table than they had this season. This season hadn’t been the best for Mid Canterbury’s other senior women’s side either. They finished the round robin at the bottom of the table, and they would head to Timaru today to take on Craighead – the team that finished second to last. The winner of that game would then take on the loser of the three versus four game, while the loser would give the team that won the one versus two game a match next weekend while their final opponent was being decided.

Kelly Slater’s loss is Australian young gun Mikey Wright’s gain. Wright gets the chance to consolidate his claims to a fulltime berth on surfing’s World Championship Tour next year when he replaces the legendary American in the field at fearsome Teahupoo in Tahiti. Making great use of wildcard entries, 21-year-old Wright is ninth on the WCT points standings with five of the 11 events remaining following third placings at the two events in Bali in June. He has been promoted to the main draw for Teahupoo, scheduled to start today, after 11-times world champion Slater withdrew, not feeling ready despite attempting a comeback from a lingering foot injury at J-Bay in South Africa last month. - NZME

Djokovic, Nadal progress Four-times champion Novak Djokovic and top seed Rafael Nadal have advanced to the third round of the weather-interrupted Canadian Open. Djokovic, coming off his fourth Wimbledon title, beat Canadian wild card Peter Polansky 6-3 6-4 after heavy morning rain in Toronto delayed the ATP Masters 1000 match by about an hour. The Serb had seven aces and never faced a break point in the onehour 24-minute match. “I thought I served well in the moments when I really need it,” Djokovic said. - AAP

All Blacks on edge The All Blacks are toning back their Wallabies-are-favourites line but believe the Sydney factor makes the Bledisloe Cup opener a danger game. Coach Steve Hansen swivelled heads on both sides of the Tasman when he said Australia were “worthy of starting as favourites” to reclaim the silverware they ceded in 2003. The merits of the claim have been challenged by former Wallaby Stirling Mortlock, who said it was “tripe”. - AAP

Grant at peace with losing Silver Ferns captaincy Silver Ferns captain Katrina Grant has made peace with the thought of not being selected to skipper the national side for the remainder of the team’s international season. The Silver Ferns fell to an alltime low in April when they returned from the Commonwealth Games medal-less for the first time in their history. A comprehensive review was

promptly launched by Netball New Zealand to investigate the cause of the national side’s sudden demise which revealed major issues within the Ferns’ leadership group. Janine Southby stood down as Ferns head coach in July after her coaching style was pinpointed as the key reason for the division emerging between the coaches

and players. Although Grant’s role as captain wasn’t identified as an immediate issue, the skipper was criticised for not appearing to take responsibility for the failed campaign. But breaking her silence for the first time, Grant said although she would love to continue leading the national side, she had accepted the possibility of losing the cap-

taincy title. “Leading my country has been amazing, there’s no way you could ever take that away,” Grant said. “A lot of people have said I need to take responsibility too for what happened and I completely understand that, so if the new team is named and I’m not in that, that’s fine. “If there’s someone more suited

to be captain then honestly that’s no worries for me, I just want to play netball and play for my country and win games ... If I’m the best person for the job then I’ll take it, but if I’m not, then that’s totally fine with me. “I’m all about the growth of others and moving forward and just wanting to be the best for that black dress.” - NZME

By Erin TaskEr

Upsets in the final round of the Canterbury Rugby League (CRL) division one competition almost meant the Ashburton Barbarians faced the tough road to the final. The Barbarians were on the road to Marist Saints Gold on Saturday and having only lost two games all season, were on track for a secondplace finish on the points table, but Marist Gold had other ideas. Marist Saints Gold won the match 30-26, and with the top-ofthe-table Burnham Chevaliers also losing on Saturday to the Woolston Rams, a cat was really thrown amongst the pigeons heading into this weekend’s semi-finals. The Burnham Chevaliers still finished on top of the table, and despite the loss the Barbarians just held on to finish the round robin in second spot, due to their result being reversed after Marist were found to have fielded unregistered players. That meant this weekend, two enticing matches awaited rugby league fans. The competition’s finals set-up saw one play two and three play four, meaning the Chevaliers and the Barbarians would play again on Saturday and the winner of that game would go straight through to the final, while Marist Saints Gold and the Woolston Rams would play in tomorrow’s other match, with the winner to take on the loser of the one versus two match for the other spot in the final. Ashburton Barbarians player/ coach Johno Simon said there would be no shortage of determination in the Barbarians ranks come Saturday, with a spot in the final on the line. The Barbarians’ 30-26 loss to Marist on Saturday could have been a lot more, Simon said. He

said his side didn’t respect Marist enough in that game, and they’d need to step it up against Burnham. “We’ve just got to stick to our structure and catch them on the back foot,” Simon said. The final few weeks of the competition had been somewhat disjointed, with the total number of teams having pulled out of the competition now at four – the Addington Magpies, the Celebration Lions, the Hornby Panthers and Marist Saints Green. The Shirley Hawks had also struggled for numbers in recent weeks, defaulting to the Barbarians a fortnight ago, and Simon said he hoped that the CRL would clamp down on the issue next season, and ensure teams had enough players to see the season out. Withdrawals and defaults meant

the remaining teams had seen very little game time in the past month and for the Barbarians it showed against Marist Saints Gold. “It was kind of hard to get back into the swing of things,” Simon said. But, all teams had been in the same boat, and the top four would be determined to finish the season on a high. “It should be a good fight to the finish, the last couple of games,” Simon said. Saturday’s loss was just the Barbarians’ third of the season, with the others being against Burnham and Woolston, and all three of those losses had been on the road. This Saturday, they were on the road again, with their match against Burnham set to be played at Coronation Park, with kick-off at 2pm.

Friday, August 10, 2018

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Today will call back to an era in which conversation was a status symbol. Those who could manage one artfully were elevated, while those who couldn’t were demoted. The judgment will be on a subconscious plane. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Where you invest love, you invest hours, attention and money. This is why anyone who knows you knows whom and what you adore without your having to say a word. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re in a mood to do something spontaneous for the one you love. People may not like being caught off guard today, though. Sometimes what makes a surprise most pleasant is that it’s not really. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Technically, every day is a chance to begin anew. We are so entrenched in our own identity, relationships and environments that “new” sometimes takes a herculean effort. You’re part Hercules today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The situation will pique your existential curiosity and challenge your beliefs. Don’t worry: Even the most devoted religious follower or confident atheist is likely to experience moments of spiritual perplexity. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll add new friends in weeks to come. Ideally, they will possess qualities to fit your style, such as an above-average sense of humour and at least one heartbreak in their past. You resonate with the experienced. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Love comes with problems and risks – always. That’s the nature of it. You’ll gladly take those on for the one you love and the joys of your heart will make the downside seem negligible. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There’s a logical option on the table, but don’t decide strictly based on what looks good on paper. You don’t live on paper; you live in your feelings and senses, and, as guides, they won’t let you down. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You would never jump ship at the first sign of rough seas. However, you also shouldn’t, on purpose, sail directly into a storm. The time to think this through is before you embark at all. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Two paths meet, and suddenly you’re in a face-off with someone going the opposite direction. Neither of you is right or wrong. But for the blockage to clear, someone has to yield the right of way. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Being a person of character matters more to you the older you get. You’ll forgive someone young for being flighty while acknowledging the behaviour as not ideal. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): It is possible to assess and manage a situation without being judgmental about it in a personal way. This type of compartmentalisation will make you efficient today.

Hundreds of Ashburton College students got a glimpse into the world of indoor bowls yesterday through a coaching session with some of New Zealand’s best players of the minority sport. As part of the North Island team’s tour of the South Island, the 20-strong side, plus supporters, arrived in Ashburton yesterday morning and got straight to work, putting six classes of students from Ashburton College through

their paces in the college gymnasium. The students were given a strong introduction to the game through North Island single representatives Jess Moffat and Steve Fisher before breaking off into groups with players assigned to each mat. During both the North Island and South Island tours, the sides take time out of their schedule to spend time playing the sport with some of the younger generations

in an effort to foster and identify new talent and introduce new faces to the game. The side spent three and a half hours at the school, taking three sessions while a small group travelled out to Wakanui School to give some of the students out there a taste of the sport. The North Island team has been in the mainland since last Friday, trekking their way from one end of the island to the other, playing

representative sides from many different districts. After playing Canterbury in Christchurch on Wednesday night, they headed to Ashburton yesterday and were due to take on the Ashburton side last night at the McNally Street Indoor Bowls Stadium. Unbeaten on the tour heading into last night’s match, they were expecting a tough encounter with the Ashburton side.

The team has a rest day today before returning to McNally Street on Saturday to take on the South Island team in a three-round test match involving men’s and ladies singles, pairs, triples and fours. Two Ashburton faces will be in the big fixture with Michael Lawson and Grant Wilson representing the South Island. Lawson, a national champion earlier in the season, will captain the side.

Nightingale to hang up his boots at the end of season St George Illawarra winger Jason Nightingale has announced he will retire at the end of the season. The former Kiwi international will hang up the boots after an illustrious 12-year career that has included 265 NRL games to date, 33 tests for New Zealand, the 2012 NRL All Stars as well as the Dragons’ 2011 World Club Challenge

win. The 31-year-old is also the last remaining player from the Dragons’ 2010 grand final victory over the Sydney Roosters – where he scored two second half tries. Nightingale’s longevity at the Dragons and in the NRL will also see him challenge for equal billing as the most-capped Dragon,

Steeler or St George Illawarra player ever in the coming weeks, alongside fellow club legend Ben Hornby (273 games). The local Renown United junior was just 15 when he first donned the Dragons jumper, playing in the Harold Matthews and SG Ball competitions in 2002-04. The man affectionately known

as ‘Gypsy’ made his NRL debut in Round 8, 2007 against the Penrith Panthers at Jubilee Oval, Kogarah. Scoring a try in the 28-16 win, Nightingale has since added a further 109 tries to his NRL career tally to sit equal-sixth for most tries in the history of the Dragons, Steelers and St George Illawarra. “It’s a very proud and solemn

Grant at peace with losing Silver Ferns captaincy

day for me to be announcing the end of the career,” Nightingale said. “I am extremely grateful for everything that the Dragons and the game has done for myself, and what I’ve been able to achieve. “There are so many people to thank for what’s been a special journey.” - NZME
