End of life theme for public forums BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

HANG TIME Mercedes Rugnitz at Hannah Wakelin’s dance workshop yesterday. FULL STORY

Electorate MPs from both Selwyn and Rangitata will hold public meetings next month to discuss euthanasia. With the End of Life Choice bill currently going through the select committee process in Parliament, both Selwyn’s Amy Adams and Rangitata’s Andrew Falloon have put plans in place to invite the public along to learn more about the controversial topic which has gripped some sectors of the country. And both have secured the services of David Seymour – the man behind the bill, to attend and speak at the meetings. Adams said that the public interest in the bill was high and she saw it as a strong opportunity for people to learn more about the subject. “I know that many people have strong views on this issue while others may be unsure,” Adams said. “Given this, I felt it would be helpful to host a public information evening on this bill and I have invited Members of Parliament with contrasting views on this topic to speak at the meeting.” Joining Seymour at Adams’

meeting in Rolleston next month will be National’s Maggie Barry, the MP for North Shore who is also the party spokesperson for issues affecting senior citizens. Adams will hold her meeting in the theatre of Rolleston College on Monday, August 6. “I want this meeting to enable anyone who is interested to hear first-hand the arguments for and against the legislation. “In addition, the meeting will give me further opportunities to hear from residents of the electorate on this conscience issue to help inform my own views.” Meanwhile, Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon is still confirming the exact details of his meeting to be held in Ashburton but confirmed to the Guardian yesterday that he has secured Seymour to speak at the meeting. “It is a really important and difficult issue which many people feel strongly about. “I’ve had 4000 emails about it and many phone calls.” Falloon urged anyone locally who wished to discuss the bill to contact his Ashburton office to make a time. The next vote on the legislation won’t take place until the New Year giving people plenty of time to make contact.

■ WAKANUI ROAD FATALITY

Crash focus on speed, alcohol By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

As investigations continue into the car crash that took the life of 24-year year old Timothy “TJ” Walker police are looking at two major causes – alcohol and speed. Following the early morning accident in Hampstead on May 19, the serious crash unit were investigating by looking at toxicology reports, the mechanics of the car involved, the accounts of people living in neighbouring properties and evidence left on the roads. The car had been travelling along Wakanui Road at around 3am when it flipped and hit a fence, killing Walker and injuring two Mid Canterbury men and one Mid Canterbury woman.

The passengers had to be cut out of the car. Police on Tuesday confirmed no charges will be laid as the deceased was the driver. However, they will be working to prevent any similar events happening in the future, and Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said they had eliminated all but two possible contributing factors. They will be looking at the combined influences of alcohol and speed. “This was a tragic crash. A young man made a decision on the night and paid the ultimate price,” he said. The matter is with the coroner and a full report is yet to be released.

Police investigating if burglaries linked By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Police are investigating two domestic burglaries in the Ashburton District and trying to determine if they are linked. Following the incidents, both within the past week, Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said it was a timely reminder for people to take measures to prevent their properties from being targeted. Police recommended checking the security of windows and doors – including garage doors and vehicles stored within the driveway or garage at night.

When travelling on holiday, police recommend informing neighbours and taking measures to make the house look lived in, such as stopping newspaper deliveries and keeping garden areas tidy and maintained. Police also recommend installing sensor lights around the house, recording (or photographing) the serial numbers of any valuable items and ensuring insurance policies are kept up-todate. Any burglaries or suspicious activity should be immediately reported to the police.

Rolling out LED street lights By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury residents may begin to notice a difference in the appearance of their streets from next month. Work will soon be under way to replace the district’s 2536 streetlights with white, LED alternatives. Ashburton District Council made the decision to change the lights last year, after receiving the offer of an 85 per cent subsidy from the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). The new lights will be more energy efficient than the existing high-pressure sodium lights, requiring less power and less maintenance, roading manager Brian Fauth said. “International research has also shown that the LED’s increased luminescence and white light helps to reduce urban road accidents, which is a positive outcome.”

The council has awarded the contract to Electricity Ashburton to source and install the lights, which are expected to arrive in the district in late August. The majority of the work is expected to take place between August and December. Thanks to the subsidy, the council will fork out just $200,000 for the project, which comes at a total cost of $1.4 million. In Allenton, some LED lights are being installed early as part of ongoing power undergrounding work. Other benefits of the new lights are that they come on instantly, last up to six times longer than conventional bulbs and are shock and vibrationproof. An Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA)-commissioned report estimates that switching to LED could save the country $10m in operational costs each year.

■ ASHBURTON WRITERS’ GROUP

Competition judges faced with tough job By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Judges of the annual Ashburton Writers’ Group Short Story and Poetry Contest faced a tough job this year as they divvied up and marked entries from 99 young wordsmiths. Students at primary schools across the district put pen to paper to produce poetry and fictional stories on a topic of their own choice, or on the theme of Kate Sheppard’s Dream for the 21st Century. The Writers’ Group has held the contests for around 15 years now and enjoy a high standard of entries – with this year no exception, according to coordinator Rae Magson. At an awards ceremony yesterday deputy mayor Neil Brown presented the winners with prizes. The competition is sponsored

by Ashburton Paper Plus, and writers received book vouchers to fuel their imaginations. Explaining how she chose the winners, contest judge Janet Benfell said storytelling is not unlike car-selling. “[Like a car] a story’s got to have a good front – or start – and a good end. “And it should have a good body in the middle … and good wheels,” she told the young storytellers. Cars wouldn’t work without matching wheels, she explained, and stories don’t quite work as well when they have little spelling mistakes or errors, she said. Benfell said she always enjoys looking through the pieces submitted. The top entries from each category will be printed in Saturday’s Guardian and the full list of winners can be found here:

Free dental care recipients rejected Two people, offered free dental care by an Auckland charity, have had their hopes that long-standing issues with their teeth were about to be solved dashed. Ashburton solo father Michael Wilson and Dunedin beneficiary Tamara Smith featured in a May feature in the Otago Daily Times publication, The Weekend Mix on the high cost of dental care. Auckland charitable trust Smileplan subsequently offered to fly Wilson and Smith to Auckland for free treatment. However, group practice manager Gavin Ray emailed both potential patients last week to tell them surgery in Auckland was not a viable option for their con-

ditions. Wilson has gum disease and cannot chew many foods. Ray wrote that having seen photos of Wilson’s mouth, he realised that his infected gums meant treatment would require multiple visits to the dentist over a period of time. “If we were to rush treatment, or condense it down so as to reduce the amount of visits up to Auckland, it may have detrimental effects on the health of your gums, which is just as important as the health of your actual teeth.’’ It was a similar story for Smith, who has rotten teeth which cut the inside of her mouth. She also sent photos to Smile-

plan, which also showed gum infection. “Additionally, it is likely that some of your fillings are very deep and would require fillings as a first attempt, or root canals as [a] second step should the fillings not hold,’’ Ray said. “This would again mean multiple visits to the dentist as these treatments cannot be completed in one appointment and require a certain rest period in order for the treatment to be successful.’’ Both were told to find a local dentist who would accept payment by installments, and apply to Work and Income for money to pay for the work. Wilson said he was disappoint-

ed, but philosophical. “Dreams are free I guess – I don’t take anything like that for granted until it happens,’’ he said. Smith said she was upset she would now not be receiving free treatment. “They said there was pretty much nothing they could do ... I was quite excited that I might be able to go out and look normal, but no.’’ Smith said her own dentist had suggested she only needed treatment to her top teeth, and questioned Smilecare’s gum disease diagnosis from seeing two photographs. Ray said Smilecare should have obtained a fuller picture of Wil-

son and Smith’s conditions before saying it would fix their problems. “One lesson we feel we could learn from this is to do a full clinical assessment of the patients prior to offering this treatment,’’ he said. “If we had done that then we would definitely not have offered to do this treatment for them, unless they were in Auckland.’’ Smilecare did not own dental practices in Dunedin but many surgeons, or the dental school, could offer affordable dental care, he said. Smilecare would stay in touch with Wilson and Smith to help them, if possible, he said. - NZME

■ ZONTA ASHBURTON FEMALE ART AWARD

Two coveted prizes on offer By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Art Gallery have announced the return of an annual award offering a local woman a big leg-up into artistic success. The Ashburton Art Gallery and Zonta Club of Ashburton are now welcoming entries to the third annual Zonta Ashburton Female Art Award – also known as the ZAFAA19. Two coveted prizes are once again up for grabs to emerging and mid-career female artists. The Premier Award will give one lucky woman the chance to win a cash prize and also hold a fully curated, professionally installed solo exhibition at the gallery the following year. Gallery curator Shirin Khosraviani said there is much more than money to be gained from award exhibitions such as ZAFAA. “The winner will have the incredible opportunity to develop a new body of work for public exhibition and have the support of a passionate institution at their side.” The Young Generation Award also offers recognition to a creative Cantabrian youth with outstanding potential. One artist between the age of 16 and 20 will take home a $500 cash prize. Last year, the Premier Award was taken out by Fiona van Oyen, who drew on her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s to create a large-scale lino print titled I Think This Is Part Of Our Garden. Emma Fitts was named this year’s Premier Award winner with her work Unknown Cloak – a woollen underlay cut in the shape of a chair cover, hung up to look like a cloak, and simultaneously alluding to the domestic space and the story of a Hawaiian princess and a cloak whose maker is unknown. The annual exhibition is designed to reflect Zonta’s vision, by recognising the artistic accomplishments of women who are actively contributing to and shaping the art scene and creating a bold and diverse future for the arts in Canterbury.

In brief Lost and then found Police have found a 79-yearold woman reported missing yesterday. A member of the public called police to report a sighting of Marion Twitchet, who was reported missing about 2.25pm yesterday. She was last seen in Kilbirnie around the Kilbirnie Crescent/ Henry St area. Twitchet suffers from dementia and may have become lost and confused. - NZME

Recovery plan signed The Pike River Recovery Agency’s concept plan outlining three re-entry options has been signed off by Andrew Little, the Minister Responsible for Pike River Reentry. The Pike River Recovery Agency, Te Kahui Whakamana Rua Tekau ma Iwa, chief executive Dave Gawn said it was focused on developing a safe plan to reenter the mine drift, to promote accountability for this tragedy, to give the Pike River families closure and to help prevent future mining tragedies. - NZME

“The awards are an exciting opportunity for Zonta to empower women through art and to raise the public profile of women artists,” ZAFAA committee member Jane Hurley said. ZAFAA is supported by a range of local businesses including Real Estate New Zealand Ashburton, House of Travel Ashburton, ANZ Private Bank, Bushey Park Trust, Everist Gilchrist Lawyers, Dentistry on Parkside, Hattitude, CharRees Vineyard and Countdown. Entries to ZAFAA19 are now open and close on October 31. Entries will be shortlisted by a panel of judges comprised of three art sector professionals. The awards will be announced by the judges on the opening night on March 1, 2019. ZAFAA19 entry forms are now available through the gallery’s website, www.ashburtonartgallery.org.nz

A fisherman has discovered a body in the Waikato River. The man’s body was spotted by the fisherman about 9.15am, north of the Huntly Cemetery, on Great South Rd. Waikato Police Senior Sergeant Simon Cherry said the find was not considered suspicious. Search and rescue responded to the incident and the body has been recovered. Police are now working to identify the man and notify next of kin, Cherry said, and Disaster Victim Identification was notified. He said police would go through missing persons reports but it was possible the man had not been reported missing. - NZME

Too early for law

Auckland residents are fed up after being woken before dawn by noisy rubbish collectors, and one woman has found they are actually breaching council bylaws. A Kingsland woman told Newstalk ZB she had been repeatedly woken up by commercial rubbish collectors making noise as early as 3.45am. After doing some digging she discovered they were breaching council bylaws. The rules were that near residential areas, Monday to Saturday, businesses could not make noise before 7am, nor after 9pm, she said. - NZME

Couple defraud disability trust of $500,000 A Christchurch couple has pleaded guilty to defrauding a Governmentfunded disability trust of nearly $500,000. Cecilia Ellenbroek, 61, and Alfonsus Ellenbroek, 64, had the charges brought against them by the Serious Fraud Office after they spent funds from the Alpha Support Centre Trust, of which they were both trustees. The couple used the funds on personal expenses, including extensive international travel and accommodation, meals and entertainment, clothing, cigarettes, alcohol, jewellery and household appliances. They entered their pleas at the Christchurch District Court, where Ellenbroek pleaded guilty to six counts of “theft by person in special relationship” and six counts of “false accounting”. Mr Ellenbroek, pleaded guilty to six counts of “theft by person in special relationship”. They were remanded on bail until sentencing on October 25. Serious Fraud Office director, Julie Read, said the Ellenbroeks’ offending

took place over a sustained period, was premeditated and the amount of public funds stolen was significant. “The funds were allocated for community day care and vocational services for people with intellectual disabilities. The offending came at the expense of some of the most vulnerable members of our society, with whose care the Ellenbroeks were entrusted,” she said. Alpha’s client base included individuals with mild to challenging intellectual disabilities and enabled them to participate in activities such as music, reading, puzzles, sports, baking, and offsite community-based activities. The trust received funding from both the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Development, as well as donations and funding grants from other sources. It ceased operation in February 2015 after 17 years of operation. The Serious Fraud Office is the lead law enforcement agency for investigating and prosecuting serious or complex financial crime, including bribery and corruption. - NZME

Kiwis got catfished out of $8m More than 200 Kiwis have been caught out by romance scams this year, costing them $7.9 million. That’s just for the first three months of 2018 alone, according to the latest quarterly report from Netsafe. The amount is six times more than for the whole of last year. Here are a handful of recent anonymised cases which the Commission for Financial Capability has dealt with: • A woman in her 60s was contacted through Instagram by a man who complimented her appearance. It went from there, and over two months she lost $72,000. She was left feeling embarrassed, isolated from her family and heavily in debt. • A man in his 40s met someone on a dating

website, losing $200,000 over six months. It was a blow to his confidence, life savings and left him feeling deeply embarrassed. • A man in his 80s also met someone on a dating website, losing $40,000 over five months. He told the Commission that despite it not being a real person, it filled his “void of loneliness”. The Commission’s manager fraud education, Bronwyn Groot, deals with such cases and told the Herald the new figures aren’t surprising. “We need to remember that most of those funds will have gone offshore, possibly to fund organised crime such as drugs and human trafficking,” she said. “Not only do the victims lose financially and emotionally, but all New Zealanders are affected by so much money being lost to our economy.” - NZME

■ THAILAND

Moss celebrates birthday US actor Elisabeth Moss, who plays Ofglen in the hit series The Handmaid’s Tale, turned 36 this week. She made waves as the dowdy secretary-turnedcopywriting queen in period drama Mad Men. And while her role as Peggy Olson paved the way for Moss as a leading female heroine, her turn as the sexually enslaved handmaid in The Handmaid’s Tale cemented her status among Hollywood’s A-list. Behind the scenes, her personal belief in Scientology has drawn some criticism, especially after Moss decried the oppressive regime portrayed in Handmaids. - AP

Footballers pray for fortune The Thai soccer boys and their coach began their first day back home with their families since they were rescued from a flooded cave with a trip to a Buddhist temple to pray for protection from misfortunes. The 11 boys and the coach kneeled and pressed their hands in prayer to the tune of chanting monks. They were joined by relatives and friends at the Wat Pra That Doi Wao temple, overlooking Myanmar on Thailand’s northern border. The remaining member of the Wild Boars soccer team – Adul Sargon – is not a Buddhist and did not attend the ceremony, meant to extend one’s life and protect it from dangers. The team has already said they would ordain as Buddhist novices to honour a former Thai navy SEAL diver who died in the cave while making preparations for their rescue. The boys and coach faced the media yesterday for the first time since their or-

deal, describing their surprise at seeing two British divers rising from muddy waters in the recesses of the cave. It would be another week before they were pulled out of the Tham Luang cave. “We weren’t sure if it was for real,” 14-year-old Adul said. “So we stopped and listened. And it turned out to be true. I was shocked.” In one poignant and emotional moment, a portrait was displayed of Saman Gunan, the Thai diver who died. One of the boys, 11-year-old Chanin “Titan” Vibulrungruang, the youngest of the group, covered his eyes as if wiping away a tear. “I feel sad. And another thing is I’m really impressed with Sgt. Sam for sacrificing his life for all 13 Wild Boars to be able to live our lives outside happily and normally,” he said. “When we found out, everyone was sad. Extremely sad, like we were the cause of this that made the sergeant’s family sad

and having to face problems.” The Wild Boars had entered the cave on June 23 for what was to be a relaxing excursion after soccer practice. But rain began, and water soon filled the cavern, cutting off their escape, and they huddled on a patch of dry ground deep inside the cave. Coach Ekapol “Ake” Chanthawong said the trip was meant to last one hour, simply because “each of us wanted to see what was inside”. When the hour was up, they were pretty deep inside and already had swum through some flooded areas in the spirit of adventure. But in turning back, he discovered the way was not at all clear, and he swam ahead to scout the route, attaching a rope to himself so the boys could pull him back if necessary. He said he had to be pulled out. Ekapol said he told the boys: “We cannot go out this way. We have to find another way.” - AP

Police identify spy poison attack suspects UK police are believed to have identified the suspected perpetrators of the Novichok attack on Russian former spy Sergei Skripal. Officers think several Russians were involved in the attempted murder of the former double agent and daughter Yulia in Salisbury and are looking for more than one suspect. “Investigators believe they have identified the suspected perpetrators of the Novichok attack through CCTV and have cross-checked this with records of people who entered the country around that time. “They are sure they (the suspects) are Russian,” a source with knowledge of the

investigation told the Press Association. The news comes as an inquest is due to open today for Dawn Sturgess, who died earlier this month, eight days after apparently coming into contact with Novichok from the same batch used in the attempted murder of the Skripals in March. Her partner Charlie Rowley, was left fighting for his life after also being contaminated by the chemical weapon. It is understood Sturgess was exposed to at least 10 times the amount of nerve agent the Skripals came into contact with. Investigators are working to the theory that the substance was in a discarded perfume bottle found by the couple in a park or somewhere in Salisbury city centre and

Sturgess sprayed Novichok straight on to her skin. The Metropolitan Police, who are leading the investigation, declined to comment. On Wednesday, a fingertip search of Queen Elizabeth Gardens in Salisbury was carried out. The park and other locations in Salisbury and nearby Amesbury were cordoned off last month after the exposure of the couple to the nerve agent. Last week counter-terrorism detectives revealed they had found a small bottle containing Novichok at Rowley’s home in Amesbury. - PA

Williams seeks help Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams says she’s seeking help for the depression she has struggled with for years. Williams said in an Instagram post that she has “sought help from a great team of health care professionals”. She gave no specifics on her treatment, but TMZ reported on Tuesday that Williams had checked herself into a mental health facility. Williams’ post says that for years she has dedicated herself to increasing awareness of mental health and empowering people to seek help. She says she recently decided to listen to the advice she has given, and wants to lead by example in seeking treatment. - AP

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

Every month I try to write about a couple of different plants that can be planted at the time of writing. I hope to share some information you might not know about and give some practical advice on how to plant them. This month I’ve decided to dish the dirt (so-to-speak) on dianthus. Dianthus (often called pinks) is a hardy cottage-garden flower ideal for planting in borders. This cheerful plant will be sure to provide you with many months of colour in your garden because, unlike many other flower varieties, you can plant it all year round. If you get your dianthus plants in the ground now they will do some nice growing through the rest of winter and be ready to flower in spring.

Once established, dianthus are easy to maintain. They are rarely struck by pests or disease

”

In fact, two weeks ago I did just that – planted some confetti dianthus around the outside of a pot, and origami pink and white aquilegia in the middle. Come spring the pot will be a colourful and bright welcome next to my front door. Right, some more dirt on dianthus. It produces smaller-than-average flowers, that look like they have been cut with shears, on strong upright stems. And the flowers are fragrant and make excellent cut flowers for bright indoor arrangements. At Awapuni we currently have three different varieties of dianthus seedlings available – the confetti I just mentioned, blueberry and mixed. Confetti grows to about 20cm high and produces a variety of flowers in lively

colours. It’s ideal for growing in pots, hanging baskets or borders of gardens. Blueberry grows a little bit taller to around 25cm and its flowers are a rich, violet colour. Its petal edges are jaggered – looking lacy and frilled. Lastly, our bundle of mixed dianthus seedlings grows to approximately 20cm and produces larger, ruffled carnation-like blooms in a vibrant mix of orange, red, pink and yellow. You can buy Awapuni Nurseries dianthus seedling bundles from your local supermarket, The Warehouse, Bunnings, or from our online shop at www.awapuni.co.nz and have them delivered direct to the door.

In around spring, they will begin flowering and continue throughout summer. Regular trimming of the dead growth (just cut back a bit to encourage new growth) and removing the dead heads will reward you with two to three sets of blooms and encourage a denser crop of flowers.

Lastly, on a culinary note, did you know dianthus flowers are edible? They make great decorations on cakes or bring colour to salads. And for the real dirt on dianthus? At Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding, their cake was flavoured elderflower and lemon and decorated with fresh flowers.

5.05

Don’t ask how I know that. I can’t confirm these were dianthus (as a nod to Lady Di) but if it was – you heard it here first.

They are quality guaranteed, and if you’re not entirely happy we will replace your order. Check online for how to qualify for free shipping too. Now, how to plant. To create a cottage garden feeling in your garden, I recommend planting an assortment of dianthus varieties in close proximity – at around 30cm spacings. Their dense evergreen foliage keeps bushy all year long and when planted they cover bare spots quickly. Dianthus cope fine with frost so you can plant them just about anywhere. Look for somewhere sunny with good drainage. Ideal companion plants to grow with dianthus are marigolds, roses, petunias, and livingstone daisies because they all like the same conditions. Once established, dianthus are easy to maintain. They are rarely struck by pests or disease and just require a little bit of care.

SHOWSTOPPER

he Michelin Supercar Paddock concludes its seventh year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with the flagship Apollo IE hypercar from Apollo Automobil taking the crown of Michelin Supercar Paddock Showstopper 2018. A shortlist of four supercars was compiled through a Michelin UK Facebook poll, with the cars voted ‘showstopper’ from each day of the Festival going into the final on Sunday. A panel of expert judges took to the Michelin Supercar Paddock Live Stage on Sunday afternoon to weigh up the shortlisted cars and agree on one overall ‘Showstopper of the Festival’ winner. Michelin Supercar Paddock presenter and former BTCC Champion Tim Harvey led the panel, which included vloggers Sam from Seen Through Glass and Paul Wallace from Supercars of London, designer Peter Boutwood from Noble Cars and designer from Vazirani Automotive, Chunky Vazirani. Receiving the accolade at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Apollo Automobil general manager Ryan Berris said: “The Apollo IE marks the return of the truest, most organic form of the hyper-car – our flagship that represents the ethos of the brand. “Created from a blank sheet of paper, the IE is the beginning of the next chapter for Apollo. We are so delighted with

this award and the reception the IE has received here at the Festival of Speed, demonstrating the appreciation across all generations for a true, pure hyper-car. “The high revving naturally-aspirated V12 combined with a design that blends lightweight, aerodynamic efficiency with intense emotion and soul. It has really struck a chord with fans and aficionados of all ages and tastes here at Goodwood, and we are extremely proud of that.”

Chief Judge, Tim Harvey, added: “It is not often that we are presented with a supercar as true and pure as the Apollo IE, designed, engineered and built without any cost constraints whatsoever. “This isn’t a commercial enterprise, it is a labour of love and passion and that is a truly rare thing in the modern automotive world. “A 6300cc V12 delivering 335kph and 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, bolted to the road

surface by super high performance Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres. “What’s not to like?! It was a pretty much unanimous decision by us judges and a well-deserved one too.” Michelin also played host to a number of product debuts on both its main commercial stand and in the Michelin Supercar Paddock, from Apollo (IE), Aston Martin (V12 Vantage V600 and Cygnet V8), Brabham (BT62), Lotus (Exige GT430), Noble (M500), Singer (DLS), Toyota (Supra A90 Concept), Vazirani (Shul Inspire Granturismo), W Motors (Fenyr Supersport), and many more across the Goodwood Festival of Speed weekend. The Michelin Supercar Paddock played host to a number of special guest appearances from stars of the race circuit, television and film, YouTube and the global auto industry. Guests included Emerson Fittipaldi, Mark Webber, Andy Priaulx, David Brabham, Harry Tincknell, Oli Webb, Mr. JWW, Chris Harris, Marino Franchitti, Urban Outlaw Magnus Walker, Darren Turner, Andreas Preuninger, Marek Reichman, Vicki Butler-Henderson, Paul Wallace from Supercars of London, Martin Donnelly, Louise Goodman, Supercar Blondie, Sam from Seen Through Glass and many more across the Goodwood Festival of Speed Weekend.

Look mum, no driver

his week Roborace’s Robocar became the first ever driverless race car to complete the Hillclimb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The run is the first in the history of Goodwood to be completed by a race car that has no human driver in the car – a huge milestone moment for the Festival, which this year is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The electric race car wowed the crowds as it took to the Hillclimb, using a variety of sensors located around the vehicle to give it 360-degree vision of its environment. The information provided by these sensors gives Robocar the ability to localize its position on the hill and detect drivable surfaces and objects using deep neural networks.

The race car’s speed was limited to 120kph to allow visitors to get a good look at the car on its way up the Hill. “We are ecstatic that the team have been able to achieve this landmark run and we hope that it draws attention to the amazing advances that are being made in the automotive industry,” said Rod Chong, Deputy CEO of Roborace. “Robocar is an ambassador for the future technologies we will see on our roads and we hope that inspirational stunts like this will change public perceptions of autonomous vehicles.” “It is an enormous achievement for a race car to complete the very first run of the hill using only artificial intelligence,” said Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Duke of Richmond and Founder of the Festival of Speed. “Roborace has worked incredibly hard

in order to pull this off and we are excited for the public to see them in action over the Festival weekend.” Visitors to the Festival could also experience this historical run from the perspective of Robocar in the FoS Future Lab – an exciting technology showcase which was located in a pavilion on the Goodwood lawn. Inside the exhibition, Roborace offered visitors the chance to try out a fully immersive VR simulator, in conjunction with HTC VIVE and DBOX. In its second year at the Festival, the FoS Future Lab was bigger and even more exciting than its debut appearance at FoS 2017. This year’s exhibition focused on innovation topics like space exploration, autonomous transport, robotics and personal flight.

Visitors were able to view displays and demonstrations, interact with some of the technology and learn more about the new and future technology featured. Robocar, the world’s first autonomous race car, was designed by Daniel Simon, the automotive futurist known for his work in Hollywood films such asOblivion and Tron: Legacy. The vehicle weighs 1350 kg and is powered by four 135kW electric motors used to drive each wheel, for a combined 500-plus hp. An NVIDIA DRIVE PX2 computer processes Robocar’s data, which includes inputs from the LiDar, radar, GPS, ultrasonic, and camera sensors. Roborace provides the car with an API as a platform for teams who then add their AI driver algorithm to the vehicle.

New Holden – options aplenty

olden has released details of the first-ever diesel Commodore, launching it alongside the first diesel-powered version of the new medium-size SUV, the Equinox. The two new models provide torque-loving diesel fans with fresh powertrain options and build on technological advancements introduced with the recent launch of petrol powered engine variants. “We anticipate the new diesel Commodore, available in both Liftback and Sportwagon bodystyles, will find particular favour with fleet operators. “It’s a large and comfortable vehicle which provides effortless performance and all-round drivability thanks to the 400Nm of torque available from 1,750rpm delivered via an eight-speed automatic transmission,” said Product Marketing

Manager, Ina Economopoulos. “Fuel efficiency is best compared against the same cubic capacity 2.0-litre four cylinder petrol Commodore LT Liftback model, which sees the advantage go the diesel by almost two-litres per 100km (5.6 litres compared with 7.4 litres). “And with the environment in mind, diesel drivers will be pleased to know the engine has lower CO2 emissions compared with the petrol option.” The new Equinox diesel is a more family oriented proposition which is loaded with increasing levels of specification across the three-model range, all of which feature a 1.6-litre engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Like the new diesel Commodore, the diesel Equinox features fuel-saving auto stop/ start technology as standard, as well as numerous passive and active safety aids which contribute to its five-star ANCAP safety rating. The Equinox line-up starts at $46,990 for the LT, the LTZ is available at $55,900 and the highly-specified range topping LTZ-V priced at $59,990.

Celebrating in style

ith a pedigree and heritage like no other, Lotus has today unveiled two unique Celebration cars, the Exige Type 49 and 79, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018 to pay homage to some of the most recognisable racers in the British brand’s history and its 70th birthday. The Exige Type 49 and 79 Celebration cars have been hand crafted by Lotus Exclusive in a salute to Lotus’ 70th birthday, and the victory anniversaries of two historic race cars that helped define the brand as one of the all-time great automotive marques. On display and in action over all four days of the Festival of Speed weekend, they’re a fitting tribute to one of the pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit of Lotus’ founder. In 1948 Colin Chapman built his first competition car, in a small London lock-up garage, following his own theories for improved performance. He formed Lotus in 1952 and from there the company continued to innovate in both road and race engineering. Changing the very nature and intent of car design forever, Chapman was at the vanguard of a new way of thinking and his concepts are as relevant today as they were 70 years ago. In addition to 2018 marking the anniversary of Lotus’ birth, it’s a

milestone for two historic racers. With the two one-off cars containing the marque’s DNA, the Exige Type 49 marks the 50 years since Graham Hill clinched both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ World Championship in the Lotus Type 49. Far from being just for show, the Exige Type 49 and 79 Celebration cars by Lotus Exclusive pack phenomenal performance into one of the all-time great chassis designs. Based on the wildest ever incarnation of the Exige the Cup 430, the Type 49 and 79 set the fastest lap time for a road car around Lotus’ hallowed Hethel test track, covering the 2.2 miles in just 1 minute 24.8 seconds. Showing its potential, the Exige Type 49 is taking to the Hill for the Festival weekend, with demonstration runs over all four days and a sprint against the clock in the timed Supercar run on the Saturday afternoon. Employing a supercharger and chargecooler designed specifically for the potent engine, both the Exige Type 49 and 79 possess 430 hp at 7,000 rpm and 440 Nm (325 lbft) of torque from 4,000 rpm. 0-60mph is demolished in just 3.2 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds) before they reach a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

Exotic yet practical

act – nearly half the new vehicles sold in NZ are SUVs. Or classed as such, for the term SUV is indeed wide-ranging. And includes this new X2, which incidentally BMW describe as a Sports Activity Coupe. So it’s no surprise they set out to make it look small and sporty. But in doing so ensured it still has the genes of, and signals its membership of the BMW X family. There’s petrol-only X2s for NZ. While the test car was a 2-litre with front-wheel-drive, there’s also an sDrive1.8i, which has a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbo-petrol. It costs $60,900. As well, x-Drive20i (all-wheel-drive) versions priced from $73,900 will shortly be available. While the X2 shares its platform with, and has the same wheelbase as the latest X1, its body is shorter, wider and sits some 7cm lower than the X1. The result is a smart looking, nice sized (it is indeed larger than it looks) coupe-ish version of the X1. So while it may look smaller and sportier, sharing the X1’s platform means it has the same convenient leg-space both front and rear. Head space for those in the rear, because of the sloping roof, is less, although this will only be a problem for those quite a bit taller than my 1.77 metres.

There’s a smooth, integrated, practical feel about the cabin, much of which is also shared with its sibling. However there’s extra brightwork and the test car had colour co-ordinated blue stitching, both for its upholstery and about the dash. The driver and front passengers sports front seats are both suitably elevated and comfortable. Standard equipment includes the latest i Drive system and drive assist package, with active cruise control, front/rear sensors and self parking. As well there’s sat-nav, dual climate air and more. The optional full-colour, head-up display projecting driving info and navigation assistance onto the windscreen was excellent. The luggage space is stated to hold 470 litres and can be easily loaded via the power operated tail-gate. As well the shapely rear seats split and fold 40/20/40 as required to increase load space to 1355 litres. So given these looks, both inside and out you expect the X2’s engine and chassis to multi-task by being able to deliver some fun driving for those who so wish, as well as being easy to drive about town and then a quiet, relaxed, fuel efficient cruiser. For a start, the excellent, strongly performing, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol develops 141 kW, and a broad spread of 280Nm of torque from 1350 to 4600rpm. It’s mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission, which

The steering is direct and informative and there’s minimal body movement when being hustled through corners. The optional wide 20-inch (19-inch is standard) wheels complete with their 225/40 tyres provide plenty of grip. They can however be vocal on very coarse seal. Of course there’s all the usual driver assistance and safety systems on board to ensure you and yours arrive safely and relaxed.

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

stands out with both its swift and very timely gear changes. Driving proved easy in stop-start traffic and around town, also at cruise on the open road where it felt composed and quiet. But then it just as quickly delivers a rewarding drive when pressing on. And that’s even when its left in the default Comfort mode of its driving experience control. As well there’s an efficiency-enhancing Eco Pro plus Sport modes. The latter gives even more dynamic steering and sharper engine and auto responses, especially so with the gear selector in S, like enabling sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and a top speed of 227 km/h. Staying in either of the other two modes may see you achieving the claimed combined fuel consumption figure of 5.9L/100 km. As indicated above, the combination of well poised on-road stance and firmish sports suspension means a fittingly sporty ride.

Roving far and wide A

convoy of 70 rare and important Land Rovers stole the show at Goodwood Festival of Speed this week as part of a record parade up the famous Goodwood Hill, celebrating 70 years of Land Rover. The largest ever batch of vehicles to drive up the famous hill were led by a recreation of the very first Land Rover – a Centre Steer prototype – and ‘HUE 166’, the first Series I pre-production prototype from 1948. The Series I was such a success that it spawned the Series II and Series III, an example of which became the millionth Land Rover sold just 28 years after the very first prototype. That millionth car also appeared in the parade, as part of a group of 25 early Series I, II and III vehicles including fire engines, SAS vehicles, aircraft crash rescue and African expedition heroes – demonstrating the breadth of versatility of Land Rover over the years. All four generations of Range Rover featured in the convoy, including a Trans-Americas Expedition example which crossed the all-but-impassable Darien Gap in 1971. Also present was Land Rover’s Discovery nameplate showcased with an example of each of the five generations, including the first Discovery ever built and the millionth Discovery to roll off the line. Representing Land Rover’s very latest crop of off-road vehicles was an example of each of the latest line-up; Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Evoque and Evoque Convertible.

Sometimes travelling with members of the Ashburton Photographic Society can mean many stops, like on this trip to Fairlie early one morning by David Oakley. A brief stop was made to photograph the rising sun from Mt Michael. The judge in our landscape competition could see the benefit and awarded this an Acceptance.

QUICK RECIPE

Mini Yorkshire puddings with beef, basil, tomato 2 eggs 1C milk 1/2 T salt 4 heaped T flour Rice bran oil 1/4 C horseradish cream or sauce Basil leaves 200g sirloin steak, cooked to medium rare 12 cherry tomatoes, halved Pepper ■ Make the Yorkshire pudding batter by whisking the eggs, milk and salt in a bowl. Sift in the flour and whisk together gently. Do not over-whisk – any lumps will soften in the resting period. ■ Pour batter into a jug and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to a few hours. ■ Preheat oven to 210°C. ■ Fill a mini muffin tray with 1t oil in each hole. Place in the oven for four minutes or until the oil is very hot, almost smoking.

Write to us!

■ Keep the muffin tray on the oven rack (so the oil doesn’t cool). Quickly and carefully pour batter into each hole to half-full, then bake for 8-10 minutes until puffed up and golden. ■ Remove from the oven, turn the puddings out and stand for a few minutes to drain any re-

maining fat. ■ Set aside until required. ■ To assemble, top each pudding with a smear of horseradish cream, a basil leaf, a slice of rare beef, then a cherry tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Recipe courtesy of www.countdown.co.nz

OUR VIEW

It’s your choice to view, or is it? J

ust when it appeared TVNZ had won their battle over the decision to air the controversial UK television show, Naked Attraction, on TVNZ 2, it’s risen to prominence once again. The game show, which appears on television screens at 9.30pm on Friday nights, sees contestants choosing someone to go on a date with based only on their body and voice, with no clothes involved in the process. After choosing a compatible partner – the pair then go on a date together, fully clothed, to find out whether the right decision has been made. When the first season of the show aired in New Zealand last year, the TVNZ complaints

committee received 536 complaints about the show while the Broadcasting Standards Authority received 13. Now, fresh on the heels of the show returning to our screens for another season, Family First have seemingly taken it upon themselves to become the public’s judge, jury and executioner by demanding advertisers on TVNZ insist on not having their

advertisements shown during the show’s ad breaks. Some have, others have stood tall and decided against it – following the path of the Broadcasting Standards Authority who last year ruled that the show was acceptable for broadcast but did offer the opinion that a stronger content/viewer discretion warning for audiences was needed. To their credit, TVNZ have handled the entire situation incredibly well. The show is, without doubt, hugely popular across the country and this season is most definitely carrying much heavier content warnings for viewers which appear at the beginning of the show and at the end of each ad break.

It will never be everyone’s cup of tea, nothing rarely is – but does it need to be stopped from appearing on our screens? Seriously? The intentions of Family First seem well and noble, but in the current situation they have nothing to be complaining about. Perhaps last year, when the show aired at a much earlier time they did, but at 9.30pm on a Friday night, carrying heavier viewer discretion warnings than any other show on television, it’s pretty well-guarded I would have thought. I’m not a religious watcher of the show, but I have watched it occasionally and actually find it quite entertaining.

There’s a strong element of humour for a Friday night. Some might say that this is just what the doctor ordered for the end of the week and dare I say it, I actually found the first episode that I watched of this new season, quite educational. Covering a wide range of diversities and sexualities, the show can actually provide an insight into the way that the different minds, of people from varying and different walks of life, operate. Notwithstanding the fact the people in front of you are naked, it’s actually pretty decent viewing – but clearly not for everyone, as the kickback TVNZ have received would show.

Today’s highlight in history: On July 20, 1944, an attempt by a group of German officials to assassinate Adolf Hitler with a bomb failed as the explosion only wounded the Nazi leader. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for a fourth term of office at the Democratic convention in Chicago. On this date: In 1861, the Congress of the Confederate States convened in Richmond, Virginia. In 1923, Mexican revolutionary leader Pancho Villa was assassinated by gunmen in Parral. In 1942, the first detachment of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps — later known as WACs — began basic training at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. The Legion of Merit was established by an Act of Congress.

OFF THE AIR

ast weekend was a big one for Maddy Hooper. A weekend of highs and lows. Her cousin Zac came for a sleep-over on Saturday night. It’s something we do each month with Manda’s brother and wife, so we can have a child-free night. Zac is two weeks older than Maddy and they get on great together – most of the time. He’s a typical boy and hasn’t missed too many meals in his life to date. He’s a big unit! A future All Black number 8 I reckon. Sometimes his hugs resemble a King Curtis Body Slam from On the Mat back in the 70s. Not that I saw that wrestling programme many times. Mother didn’t like her little darlings watching violence. Not that it stopped me from trying to watch it. I can clearly remember watching the first 10 minutes of On the Mat at nana and grandpop’s place before mother walked into the lounge and spotted the glee on my face in front of the Pye Vidmatic. A micro second after that she spotted the reason for my glee, the nightmare causing gore that was grown and often overweight men pretending to smack down on each other in a ring. Off the TV went in a flash! Followed by a finger wagging lecture about violence being bad, blah blah blah. That’s when the toys went right out of my cot. I stormed out of the house, claiming to be running away for good this time! I remember stopping at the corner, nine houses into my journey of protest for all those

kids who weren’t allowed to watch On the Mat. Oh wait that’s right, I was the only one in the whole wide world (fact I made up on the spot, nine houses walk and half a tantrum ago). Nobody’s coming after me, why aren’t they coming after me? Don’t they love me? Has something happened? I better go back and check. “Oh you’re back are you? I hope you’ve calmed down a bit now”. I decided to continue my protest by not talking to anyone, especially the meanest mother in the universe! A silent protest, yeah, that’ll learn them! Back to Maddy and her week-

end of ups and downs. The biggest ‘up’ was her learning to jump! I’m sure in her mind, she is just about to crash through the ceiling, her jumps are so huge. Each attempted jump is accompanied with a small grunt of effort. Not a Maria Sharapova annoying shriek, just a cute wee “humfph”. Around 20 per cent of the attempted jumps are successful and about three centimetres of clearance could clearly be seen. She is very proud of this new skill and requires a round of applause and a fist bump from all witnesses at the completion of each ‘jumping session’. Biggest ‘down’ for the week-

end, was actually more of an ‘out’ than a ‘down’. A spew bug hit the poor wee mite on Sunday night. Much like her jumping, she didn’t hold back there either! It’s amazing how quick they bounce back though, literally. By Monday night she was back attempting to break her jumping record again. Till next week, hoo roo Phill Hooper - father of a very cute kid.

been punished accordingly, with a referee watching over the game, along with two linesmen, and, of course, the TMO. Surely this should be enough to see that everyone gets a fair go. However, what about the ball carrier? 100kgs plus, 2 metres tall, with the ball tucked under one arm,

and steaming for the line. Shoulder down, and other arm across his body. What is he trying to do? Yes, smash the opposition out of the way by fair means or foul. Do the rules which govern dangerous tackles not apply to the ball carrier? I cannot recall seeing one pe-

nalised. Yes, I know, it is a contact sport, but there is a limit to what is reasonable play, and, in my opinion, some of the actions of the ball carriers today, are just as dangerous as the banned dangerous tackles. Should they not also be subject to punishment? B.M. Leighton

Storms lead to 1042 claims More than 1000 claims have been made to EQC this year after storms and ex-cyclones that ravaged the country between January and June. Of the 1042 claims lodged so far this year, the commission has already settled 727 and spent nearly $7 million in damage repairs. It has been a hectic six months for the country, with ex-Tropical Cyclones Fehi and Gita hitting New Zealand in February and Cyclone Hola battering our shores in March. Many parts of the country have also been ravaged by heavy rain and strong winds, causing extensive damage in the Coromandel, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Northland and on the West Coast. EQC received 101 claims nationally for the January storm centred in Kaiaua-Thames, and 93 have now been resolved with $1,103,964 paid to customers. There were 134 claims lodged for ex-Cyclone Fehi, and of these claims 124 have now been set-

tled, with customers receiving $801,434 from EQC. A further 222 claims have been resolved out of the 278 lodged for ex-Cyclone Gita, with $4,800,016 paid to customers. Robyn Nation, manager of national customer care, said EQC covers damage to land from storms and floods and damage to land, home and contents from landslips. This includes the removal of silt and debris from under and around houses and from access ways, she said. “The impact of each storm is different across regions and for communities and EQC works directly with residents, community organisations and councils to provide local residents with as much support and information as possible about lodging a claim.” Nation said anyone whose residential land has suffered storm, flood or landslip damage in the past three months, including from last weekend’s storms, should contact EQC. - NZME

he past week has been action packed with plenty of local economic data to digest and the global reporting season taking the spotlight offshore. In addition to this, US President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Fed Chair Jerome Powell appeared before Congress. Locally, we saw inflation figures for the June quarter come in slightly lower than expected, the Global Dairy Trade index continue to fall as well as the latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of NZ (REINZ). The local bourse continued to track lower and is nearing a onemonth low after reaching a record high of 9,084 at the start of the month. Across the ditch, the ASX 200 hit a 10-year high after seeing a rebound in banking stocks. However, signs of a softening Chinese economy dented sentiment after second quarter economic growth expanded at a slower pace. Furthermore, June industrial output growth was the weakest in over two years. Back home, the consumers price index (CPI) inflation rate was 1.5 per cent in the June year and up 0.4 per cent for the quarter. This followed a 1.1 per cent annual inflation rate in the March year. The largest contributor to inflation was higher prices for housing and household utilities, however higher fuel prices was also a major driver. REINZ released its recent figures on Tuesday and showed a sharp downturn in the number of houses sold in June, as winter blues hit the market. Nationwide, 6034 homes were

sold last month, down 20 per cent from May’s figure but down just 1.6 per cent compared to those sold in June last year. That trend largely reflected the Auckland market. However sales in other major centres were significantly down in June compared to the prior comparable period. The Waikato region was down 14 per cent, Wellington was down 11per cent, while Canterbury and Southland were both down 8 per cent. Prices however remained generally flat, with the national average dropping just $2000 from $562,000 in May to $560,000 in June. Meanwhile, the Global Dairy Trade auction index fell for a fourth consecutive session this week, down 1.7 per cent. The result would have been much softer had it not been for key product group, whole milk powder, which managed to hold its ground, rising 1.5 per cent, having slipped 7 per cent at the previous auction. Rennet Casein saw the biggest decline, down 9.5 per cent, followed by butter, which slipped 8.1 per cent. Reporting season is now in full swing in the US, and up until now, more than 80 per cent of the S&P 500 companies that have reported have beaten earnings estimates and 96 per cent have beaten earnings forecasts.

Shares in Amazon reached an all-time high and a rebound in Netflix led to a comeback in tech stocks. Netflix initially plunged after reporting weaker-thanexpected subscriber growth. The company traded just 5.2 per cent lower after falling as much as 14.1 per cent earlier in the session. A strong earnings result from Johnson & Johnson also bolstered the indices. In addition, the European Union slapped US giant Google, with its biggest ever antitrust fine of $US5 billion, after the EU ruled that its Android mobile operating system had abused the mobile software’s dominance in the industry. Google said it would appeal the decision. Alphabet’s share price slipped slightly following the announcement. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell appeared before Congress and stated that the US economy has grown at a solid pace so far this year and noted the latest data suggests economic growth in the second quarter was ‘considerably stronger’ than in the first quarter. With consumer price inflation a little above the central bank’s 2 per cent target, Powell said the Fed will continue to weigh a wide range of relevant information and stressed that the central bank’s policy decisions will depend on the economic outlook.

In brief

■ HARNESS

Purdon to link with Show Gait Three-year-old trotting filly Show Gait is to be given plenty of time to acclimatise to the Australian way of life before her Australasian Breeders Crown tilt next month. The Regan Todd-trained filly will depart for warmer shores at the end of the month, travelling alongside the All Stars contingent belonging to Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen, with her trainer going along for the ride. “It’s quite exciting, we’ve obviously campaigned horses for big races before – but not a really

one where it looks like we are big chance,” Todd said. The young horseman is no stranger to heading to Australia, having done so as a caretakertrainer for Mark Jones, but this time it’s with his own horse and that’s a whole new kettle of fish. However, the company he will be keeping is sure to keep him grounded and focused on the task ahead. “I’m really excited to spend some time with Mark (Purdon) and Poi (Matt Bowden) and learn how they handle the trips away.

“It should be a great learning experience and to have their skill to call on will be huge.” Todd has a standing start event at Menangle on August 7 earmarked as the first step towards the Breeders Crown and for that particular assignment he’ll need to call on Purdon again. The master horseman will handle the driving duties of the filly through the campaign and likely right through to the Breeders Crown although no firm plans have been confirmed. “It makes sense to have Mark

driving her, I think he was quite keen to sit behind her considering she originally came from his place. “It’s not a mark against Sam (Ottley), and nothing has been set in stone for the Breeders Crown yet, but we will benefit from getting Mark’s opinion.” Safely through her first run on August 7, Todd may look for one more race before the big dance, although he may also look to favour a trial around Melton instead, to allow the filly to find her feet on a foreign track. - NZ Harness News

Rogerson celebrates success in Darwin Graeme Rogerson is no stranger to success in Darwin and the internationally-successful horseman has made his mark there again. His familiar colours were back in winning action this week when Culzean was victorious over 1100m at Fannie Bay. “I do race a few around the world and I quite like this horse, but he really can’t get 1200m so I sent him over to Garry Lefoe,” Rogerson said. “He missed the start and still won. We’ll play it by ear, but I think he’ll go through the grades.” By Duke Of Marmalade, Culzean broke his maiden over 1100m at New Plymouth when trained by Rogerson and his wife Debbie. He has campaigned horses in Darwin in the past and has fond memories of his 2003 venture there when he won the Listed Darwin Cup (2000m) with Wild Heart and two open sprints with To Be Fair. A team of seven horses formerly prepared at Tuhikaramea were transferred to the Northern Territory in May, with five joining Lefoe in Darwin and two sent to Rogerson’s cousin Ken Rogerson, who trains at Alice Springs. Rogerson’s silks will also be seen at Randwick on Saturday when (Our) Malambo runs in a Benchmark 77 handicap over 1200m. “She’s a good horse and I’ve sent her to Chris Waller,” he said. A three-year-old daughter of

Herlihy to return Tony Herlihy will return to race night driving at the final northern meeting of the season. New Zealand’s all-time winningest reinsman, with 3455 local wins, was injured when tipped out of the sulky behind C K Spur at Alexandra Park on May 11. He was diagnosed with cracked ribs and was expected to miss a month of driving at the least. “I’ve been given the all clear to resume Friday week,” Herlihy told The Informant. Next Friday, July 27, is a full 11 weeks since the injury and will give him one night to add to his tally of 32 winners for the season.

Ferguson fined Wyndham reinsman Craig Ferguson has been $350 by the Judicial Control Authority after admitting to a charge of failing to drive his horse out to the finish line. Ferguson was in the sulky behind the mare he trains, Rozzano, when he finished fourth, a half-neck from third, at Forbury Park on June 21. Ferguson stopped driving about 45 metres from the finish when in the passing lane after a trip behind the leader throughout. But another horse he trains, No More Change, flashed down the extreme outside to nab third right on the line. Ferguson noted in his defence that he felt Rozzano was “struggling” and he expected she would be swamped.

Graeme Rogerson and stable apprentice Ryan Elliot.

Duelled bred and co-owned by Rogerson, Malambo has won four times and hasn’t raced since she finished runner-up at Te Rapa in May. She finished fourth in a recent open trial at Rosehill behind the Group One winner Music Magnate. Meanwhile, Rogerson has new careers in mind for a pair of Group-winning gallopers in his

Tuhikaramea stable. “Assign and Gallante will be going for their jumping tickets on Friday at Anne Browne’s place,” he said. “They’re badly handicapped here, they’ve won nearly $3 million between them, so we’ll look at hurdling them.” The Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) winner Gallante and Assign, winner of the Gr.2 Herbert Power Stakes (2400m), were two of five

horses Rogerson purchased from leviathan Melbourne owner Lloyd Williams. The package deal also included Makybe Diva’s son Surrey, who has since won once from three starts. “He looks tremendous, but he doesn’t like it wet,” Rogerson said. “He’ll kick off in August if we can get a dry track.” - NZ Harness News

Valachi announces major expansion Valachi Downs are significantly increasing their holdings in the thoroughbred industry. The Kevin Hickman-owned Matamata operation will be the new home for Group One-winning trainer Stephen Autridge while the breeding arm of the business will also be further developed. “Valachi is expanding both the racing and stallion side of the business and we have bought the property formerly known as Wex-

Ashburton Guardian 31

ford Stables,” manager Jonathan Scully said. “We will take over in mid to late September and Stephen will have the bulk of the Valachi horses and probably four outside clients. “He’ll probably kick off with about 50 horses and build on that over the next few years. It’s still the intention to spread about 20 per cent of our young stock with other trainers.” The new venture will be located on 10 acres with 70 boxes and

direct access to the Matamata track with former trainer Kris Shailer as foreman. “We’ll be putting in a treadmill as well,” Scully said. “Stephen was going to take a bit of a step back, but Kevin had a chat with him and it works for both parties. “It’s a great opportunity and Stephen’s very excited. He’ll have some great bloodlines to work with. “There will be a couple of European fillies and Kevin bought

three more by Dubawi, Nathaniel and Choisir at the Tattersalls Sale and they will probably end up down here at some stage. “There’s also the Frankel colt out of Silent Achiever. I saw him at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago and he’ll come out here to Stephen later this year. “Kevin will also probably keep a few more colts than he has done in the past. It’s great that people like Kevin and his wife Jo keep investing.” - NZ Racing Desk

Group One-winning trainer Don Grubb passed away on Monday. Based at Feilding for many years, his leading representatives included the high-class trio of Tanalyse, Always Summer and Gatcombe’s Pride. “I enjoyed a good association with Don when I was living in Feilding,” former top jockey David Walsh said. “Tanalyse was a terrific horse and I still say that when he won the Telegraph in 1986 it was the best performance from a horse I’d ever ridden, it was amazing. We also won the Lion Brown Sprint at Te Rapa. Don was a very good trainer and he liked a bet,” Walsh said. “He was a real character and it was never boring being around him.”

Red Choux’s salute The Darren Weir-trained Red Choux’s notched his third victory when successful at Sandown on Wednesday. The four-year-old son of Jimmy Choux was perfectly ridden by Brad Rawiller to win the Blue Star Print Group Handicap (1600m) and has been a model of consistency for connections, boasting a podium finish in 12 of his 14 starts. “He got a good start and there was really nice flow-on speed that first three or four hundred metres and Brad just got the perfect spot,” stable representative Darren Murphy said.

Family’s star rising Ocean Park gelding Star of the Seas made light work of his opposition at Warwick Farm on Wednesday when he distanced them to win by two and a half lengths in the #Theraces handicap (1200m). The Chris Waller-trained three-quarter brother to Group One performer Spieth secured his first victory in just his third start. It was a great result for breeder’s Trelawney Stud.

Grass track to test drivers

Highlanders spoilt for choice in clash with Waratahs

Fancy your skills behind the wheel? Then the Ashburton Car Club has got just the event for you. The Ashburton Car Club is hosting a grass motorkhana at its club headquarters on Wakelins Road, just off the Methven Highway, on Sunday and it’s open to anyone to take part. Club spokesperson Ben Lambert said a motorkhana was generally a tight and technical course around cones. “It’s more about car control, than speed,” Lambert said. But time played a part too. Participants would each get two or three runs on each of the two or three courses set out on the day, and their best times on each would count towards their overall total. Lambert said anyone was welcome to take part, whether it be in their own car, or in the club’s car. “Anyone is welcome as long as their car is tidy and up to standard,” Lambert said. “And if they haven’t got a car that they can use, the club car is there.” It will cost $30 for entry and hireage, with documentation

Grass, rather than asphalt, will be the testing surface for drivers in the Ashburton Car Club’s motorkhana on Sunday. PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN starting at 11am, with the day’s first runs set to hit the grass at 11.30am. The Ashburton Car Club’s clu-

brooms are on Wakelins Road, off the Methven Highway just past Digby’s Bridge. If the weather over the weekend is wet, the

event may be postponed. For more information check out the Ashburton Car Club’s Facebook page.

Read, Crotty ready for final crusade The Crusaders, boosted by the return to health of senior players Kieran Read and Ryan Crotty, are in championship mode – a time during which the eight-time title holders tend to thrive. But if they need an extra reminder of what the Sharks may bring to their Super Rugby quarter-final in Christchurch tomorrow, they may want to turn their minds back to a match at the same venue in 2014 when the men from Durban beat them despite playing with 14 men for 64 minutes. It was a 30-25 defeat which will live long in infamy in the upper half of the South Island and beyond, and was still being talked about in South Africa this week; the day flanker Jean Deysel was red-carded for a stamp to the face of Jordan Taufua – named in the No6 jersey for his team’s match at AMI Stadium – and still won. “Why can’t the Sharks not beat the Crusaders in Christchurch? They have done it before, with 14 players. We all have to hope,” former skipper Jean de Villiers was quoted as saying this week. To make matters worse, Sharks lock Willem Alberts was sinbinned in the fourth quarter, meaning his side played with 13 players for 10 minutes and still the Crusaders faltered (although they soundly beat the Sharks in the semifinal rematch in Christchurch). Different times, players and coaches of course, so the past probably doesn’t have much rel-

Richie Mo’unga will be in the Crusaders’ starting line-up on Saturday against the Sharks. evance to this match, although Crusaders coach Scott Robertson is a student of history and could raise the defeat this week as he prepares his side for what could be the first of three sudden-death matches at home. The recovery of No8 Read from a wrist injury suffered against the Blues last weekend, and that of second-five Ryan Crotty from a thumb problem, are big advantages. Read was relatively quiet

against the Blues but his quality was obvious a week earlier against the Highlanders on his return from back surgery and Crotty, also unlucky with injuries, is an integral part of their midfield alongside the equally impressive Jack Goodhue. “Kieran’s been great, he’s recovered quickly and since that Xray there’s been massive relief in the camp and especially for him after the amount of injuries he’s

had in the last year or so,” Robertson said. Robertson has been able to name his strongest squad apart from loosehead Joe Moody – still out with a knee and ankle injury – although he isn’t far away if required next weekend. “Joe could have possibly played – he’s that close – so that’s positive news as well,” Robertson said. There is no room for fullback Israel Dagg, who played well against the Blues but who can’t find a way past the returning David Havili. With outside back Manasa Mataele also returning, the Crusaders have a fearsome 23 with an All Black pack and Wyatt Crockett and Luke Romano on the bench. “We have got depth and you need it when you’re in championship mode,” Robertson said. “You have to make sure the next person is ready and we’ve done a lot of work around that.” Another issue this week which could increase motivation levels, especially among the pack, was the penalty try conceded in the second half to the Blues when the Crusaders scrum failed spectacularly – a rare sight. “One scrum doesn’t make a season – I think we’ve been pretty good apart from that one,” was Robertson’s response. Skipper Sam Whitelock said: “We are in a good space but we went through our game last week and there was a 10 to 20-minute period that we weren’t happy with.” - NZME

It’s surely every coach’s dream to head into a sudden-death playoff with close to their team’s full roster available for selection. It can create some headaches, but as Highlanders coach Aaron Mauger can attest, it’s a good problem to have. Welcoming back a host of key players for Saturday’s quarterfinal in Sydney against the Waratahs, Mauger had to make a few tough calls. There was no room in the squad for impressive loose forward Dillon Hunt, with James Lentjes winning the No 7 jersey for the match. ”We can only select 23,” Mauger said about the making the decision to omit Hunt. “It’s been a hotly contested position the openside flanker position over the last six to eight weeks since Jimmy’s come back from injury. I just feel that what he’s going to bring to the game in terms of energy and how we want to play the game is best suited for this weekend.” The last time the Highlanders met the Waratahs, winger Tevita Nabura was sent off early for kicking counterpart Cameron Clark in the face. The Highlanders went on to suffer a heavy defeat. Like many Super Rugby coaches preparing for the quarter-finals this weekend, Mauger had a fair idea of what the squad would look like early in the week. Ben Smith returns at fullback, Aaron Smith at halfback, Rob Thompson at No 12 and Luke Whitelock at the back of the scrum after having last round off to rest. While the side’s form has been a mixed bag of late, Mauger said now they were in the playoffs, none of that mattered, and backed his side to do the job. “The most important thing is what’s ahead of us...I’m sure we’ll be okay with 15 men on the field this time ‘round.” Ben Smith echoed his coach’s approach to the match. After having a week off to get his body right, the co-captain was excited to get back on the pitch for what he expected to be an intense match. “When you’re not playing it gives you a chance to get your body right and it gives you a good chance to work with the trainers and that kind of thing and just get in the right frame of mind going into this week,” Smith said. “Just the excitement of getting over there is a big one for us. We want to go over there and really execute our game. “We want to push forward in this competition but we can’t do that if we don’t give ourselves the best chance leading into Saturday.” - NZME

In brief Nonu on the market? Ma’a Nonu might be eyeing a return to Super Rugby, but Chiefs coach Colin Cooper wouldn’t be drawn in to discussing the former All Blacks midfielder just yet. Nonu left French club Toulon after three seasons for family reasons in May and with the Hurricanes already ruling out signing their former star, the Chiefs loomed as a potential landing spot. The Chiefs could be in the market for midfield talent in 2019, with Charlie Ngatai, Tim Nanai-Williams and Johnny Fa’auli leaving the club at the end of this season. However, when about the possibility of signing Nonu yesterday, Cooper brushed the query aside. “We haven’t talked about that,” he said. “I’m just saying we haven’t been discussing it. I’m not saying no or yes.”

The four-day tournament came to a close yesterday, with Mid Canterbury taking on Kapi Mana in their final game. The game was a play-off for 37th place and Mid Canterbury won it 32-27. The tournament was dominated by the big netball centres, with Wellington A and Auckland 1 fighting it out for the tournament’s main prize – the Anna Rowberry Cup – yesterday afternoon.

■ RUGBY

Wallabies rue Kuridrani loss The Wallabies are facing a big problem at outside centre for the Rugby Championship with Tevita Kuridrani to miss the next three months due to a pectoral injury. The 58-Test veteran Kuridrani tore the muscle in the Brumbies’ win over the NSW Waratahs last weekend, their final match of the Super Rugby season. It comes after Wallabies coach Michael Cheika’s recent first-choice outside centre, Samu Kerevi, was also sidelined for the duration of Rugby Championship with a bicep injury. Curtis Rona and the versatile Reece Hodge are the two players most likely to fill the No.13 jersey, although the latter has played at five-eighth for the Melbourne Rebels for much of this year. Other options could be Rebels centres Tom English and Billy Meakes. Rona has played only three Tests but has been in good form for the Waratahs and has established combinations with Wallabies backline regulars Bernard Foley, Kurtley Beale and Israel Folau. If Hodge is chosen for the role, it may mean Cheika will be forced to draft in more cover for five-eighth Foley in his wider training squad.

Warburton calls time on great rugby career, aged 29 Sam Warburton, Wales’s record-breaking captain and one of the most successful figures in the history of the Lions, has been forced to retire through injury at the relatively early age of 29. Warburton has not played since leading the Lions to a drawn series against the All Blacks a year ago and has realised since resuming training this summer that the neck and knee injuries which caused him to sit out the entire 2017-18 season were too chronic to allow him to reach the peaks of conditioning that he needed to perform at his customary elite level. “My body is unable to give me back what I had hoped for on my return to training,” said Warburton. Such was the outpouring of tributes paid him, it was no surprise to hear calls for him not to be lost to Welsh rugby even if he will never pulling on the red jersey that he was worn with such distinction (74 caps, 49 of them as captain) again. Cardiff Blues chief executive, Richard Holland, intends to sit down with Warburton, who has only ever been a one-

club man, to see ‘how he can remain part of the organisation’. Wales Secretary of State, Alun Cairns, called Warburton ‘the ultimate model Welsh rugby player,’ while his friend from days at Whitchurch HS in Cardiff, Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale, was moved to tweet ‘congratulations on an incredible career, mate. #welshlegend.’ Warburton has already impressed as a TV pundit and given that he has been held in such esteem for the natural decency of his personality as well as sought-after on the corporate circuit for his well-tested leadership abilities, (two Lions tour as captain) his phone will soon be ringing. There is little doubt, too, that he would make a good coach one day for his ability to read the game and interact with referees, notably doing enough to persuade Frenchman, Romain Poite, to reconsider his decision at the end of the final (drawn) Lions test against the All Blacks, awarding a scrum rather than a potentially serieswinning penalty to New Zealand. - AAP

The football World Cup is consistently one of the most watched sporting events on the planet, with the past two tournaments each reportedly attracting a total TV audience of 3.2 billion. While the global figures for this year’s World Cup are still being tallied, Nielsen data in New Zealand shows that 29 per cent of New Zealanders (aged 5 years and over) tuned in to watch the FIFA World Cup 2018 on TV. According to Nielsen, that’s more than 1.2 million Kiwi viewers who tuned in to watch at least one game or the highlights of the tournament in Russia. One of the best stats to emerge from the World Cup was that 99.6 per cent of the entire Icelandic population (335,000) watched the national team’s opening match against Argentina, according to Iceland’s national broadcasting service RÚV.

Black Sticks challenge Fresh from their two-week tour of Japan, with a one win, two loss, one draw record, the Vantage Black Sticks Men have settled into their new accommodation in Bangalore, India and are readying themselves for the three test series against what will be a fired up Indian side. The teams have faced off several times in 2018, with India touring New Zealand in January competing in the University of Waikato Men’s 4 Nations International Series, as well as the famous win against them for the Black Sticks in the Commonwealth Games semi-final on the Gold Coast, that took New Zealand to the final, and eventually silver.

Tongan’s new aim Famous Tongan flag-bearer Pita Taufatofua is setting his sights on competing in a third Olympic sport. The youth worker from Brisbane has been an internet sensation, despite being a competitive dud, after representing Tonga in the 2016 Rio Olympics and this year’s Winter Games in South Korea. The new Unicef Pacific ambassador is aiming to compete in a water sport at the Tokyo Olympics in two years, adding to his taekwondo and cross-country appearances. What grabbed the public was his coconut-oiled face and torso at the opening and closing ceremonies where he appeared in the Tongan ta’ovala. - NZME

Murdoch’s final years revealed The final days of Keith Murdoch’s life have been revealed by the few people who got to know the former All Black as he hid out in the Australian outback. The tragic Murdoch story, after he was sent home from the 1972/73 tour of Britain and France, has never fully been told, such was the secrecy in which the big rugby forward lived. Perth Now reporter Tony Barrass has gathered more pieces of the Murdoch mystery, his Sunday Times story beginning with the line “For 40 years, he roamed the vast expanses of the interior, drifting from one job to the next, a big man of few words who kept his eyes low and his head down”. Murdoch passed away, aged 74, in February and is buried in tiny Carnarvon where “no one knew Murdoch’s secret. No one. Everyone just knew him as Keith, the big bloke who sat in the corner and didn’t say boo”. The second, bizarre chapter in Murdoch’s life began in Cardiff, December 1972. Hours after scoring a try as Ian Kirkpatrick’s All Blacks beat Wales at the famous Cardiff Arms Park, the famously strong Murdoch had a physical confrontation with a hotel security guard. Sent back to New Zealand, he quit the flight in Singapore and headed for Darwin

and was barely seen in public again, fending off any media attempts to draw him into the open. All the while the Murdoch legend grew, as did sympathy for the Otago player over the way he had been treated. Murdoch, who is believed to have returned to New Zealand a few times, was not about to break cover, however, sympathy or no sympathy. “Romanticised by the Australian outback and embellished by hundreds of possible sightings over the decades, the Murdoch story became folklore,” Barrass – an Australian journalist who has worked in Auckland – reported. The story revealed that Murdoch “headed west a decade ago from the Northern Territory”. He ended up in Carnarvon, a coastal town 900km north of Perth, population less than 5000. There, a local car dealer from New Zealand called Graham ‘Kiwi’ Jackson said he was “floored” to find out the Keith Murdoch who had died in the town was THE Keith Murdoch. A 53-year-old electrician named Dean Parry was said to be among the few people Murdoch trusted, making him next of kin during the final days. Yet even Dean was kept in the dark - NZME

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Whether the job is big or small, your sincere aim to do it right will be what makes this day a success, regardless of how far you get. Good instruction will be key; the search engine will be your best friend. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Anything fresh out of the fire is unsafe to touch: This is true more metaphorically than literally today. Let that hot thing in your life cool down before you approach. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When you ask a question and the response is not forthcoming, take that as your answer. Instead of waiting around, assume the silence means “No”; move on; explore new options; be a happy traveller. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ve an inner zeal that is so much a part of who you are that you don’t even realise how many people walk around without an ounce of enthusiasm for life. You’ll share your energy with someone who lacks it. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Love thrives on the tongue, but who puts it in practice? You want to. There’s a lot you once did out of love that has now turned into duty, or just habit, and you’re trying to get back that original feeling. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The best strategy is not to talk about yourself unless you absolutely have to today. It’s the demonstration that counts. Don’t worry; you’ll savour the look on their faces when they see what you can do. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There is nothing to gain from being harshly self-critical. You learned this kind of treatment of yourself, and you can unlearn it. Start by sweetening the tone you use when you talk to yourself. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You know the nature of favourites dictates that only one person or thing can top the category, but it doesn’t stop you from treating each loved one like a favourite – that attracts much luck today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): They want to talk of past glories; you do not. You’ve done some cool stuff, but you know in your heart that the best is yet to come. Arms open and onward! CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Don’t let things that happen to you make you feel “less than”. If you can’t help feeling that way, that’s OK. Just know feelings can lie. The truth is you are more because of what you’ve experienced, and you’ll continue to build on it. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You haven’t always had the care you needed to help you thrive as who you really are inside, but that will change. Support is gathering around you. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You don’t need propping up; nor should you be another person’s prop. You’re a whole person, and it’s right for you to connect with another whole person and work together in a way that honours you both.

Richie ready to roll P34

ON THE MAT Michael Lawson will be a vital part of the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Patterson Trophy side this weekend.

They’ll be the home town favourites, but the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Patterson team will have to pull something out of the hat if they’re to claim glory in one of the sport’s major representative events this weekend. The annual fixture, from which the winner will qualify to represent their zone at the Welch Trophy – indoor bowls top representative fixture – later in the season, will be held at the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Stadium from tonight through to Sunday morning with some of the best players in the South Island in on the action. And for Ashburton, the chance to bury the demons of a horror

start which last year ultimately led to their demise up in Nelson, will be fresh on the minds when they hit their local mats. Ashburton were woeful on the opening night last year and were forced to stage a remarkable comeback to see them in contention heading into the last round of play – a position they don’t want to find themselves in again 12 months later. Featuring the top eight players from each district the Patterson Trophy sees sides from Nelson, Marlborough, Golden Bay and Motueka, the West Coast and Canterbury coming together for five sessions of bowls, each ses-

sion featuring a game of fours, pairs and singles. The Ashburton side will be led this year by current South Island representatives Michael Lawson and Grant Wilson who will skip the two sides. Lawson won the national triples title earlier this year and both he and Wilson were a part of the North Island fours winning team. Wilson will be joined in his side by former South Island representative Matt Markham, who will play three and the father and son combination of Murray and Mat Bassett who will fill the front two spots. Lawson will have double na-

tional champion Mark Sheard at three in his side with former South Island representatives, Chris Talbot and Ken Mackenzie filling the front two spots. It’s a side that sees three players recalled from last year’s squad with Murray Bassett, Sheard and Talbot returning to the team. Graeme Chapman is the side’s reserve and Geoff Laird is the manager. Ashburton will begin tonight with fours matches against Golden Bay and Motueka and the West Coast before playing the West Coast and Marlborough in singles. They play Marlborough and Canterbury in pairs as well.

The Ashburton side will also be looking to make a solid start in new look uniforms for the district. After playing in black and white for a number of years a decision has been made to shift the district’s colours to the more traditional green and gold with this weekend being the first occasion the new colours will be worn. A strong Canterbury side, which features Simon Thomas who played for Ashburton last year is likely to provide the toughest challenge for the Ashburton side although all six regions are capable of performing on any given day.
