A popular Ashburton smoko spot is taking cigarettes off the shelves for good after a middle of the night break-in this week. Riverside Foodbar owners Margaret and Neil Chapman received a call at 1.47am on Thursday morning from their security company advising them that their shop had been broken into. The glass section of the door

to the shop had been smashed open, littering the floor with pieces of glass which even punctured an energy drink can on a nearby shelf. Once inside, the burglars stole cigarettes, lighters, loose cash and a prize for the Ashburton Lions Charity Golf Tournament. “We’ve been here 16 years and this is our third break-in, and the first in about 14 years, we had a couple in the first years we

owned it but nothing after that,” he said. “We got the call at 1.47am from Masterguard and we came to check it out and called the police. “They have taken just cigarettes and some loose cash. I also had a prize ready for the Lions Golf Tournament which was a couple of Stanley jemmy bars.” Earlier this year the business moved into its new building after the previous premises needed to

be repaired due to earthquake damage, and at that time the couple had even considered not stocking cigarettes. “Prior to moving in to this building we were weighing up selling cigarettes in the new shop,” he said. “We have refrained from selling any of that vape stuff, and after last night we have made the decision to not stock cigarettes anymore.

“I think there is only one other place in Ashburton that has made that decision and it is a tricky one, there will be a few guys in the area that will be disappointed but it is just not worth it. “We will still do what we are good at and that is food.”

Shaking out any bugs in national ShakeOut Testing their drop, cover and hold moves at Hampstead School are Kata Tamakaha (left), 7, and Brooklyn Aberhart, 8. “If we don’t have a lot of practice, some of us might not know what to do,” Brooklyn wisely said following yesterday’s national ShakeOut earthquake and tsunami drill. Schools and premises throughout Mid Canterbury, including the Ashburton District Council’s library, museum and EA Networks Centre, participated in the drill, held at 1.30pm. Hampstead assistant principal Claudine Campbell said pupils had to drop, cover and hold without warning when a message about the drill came over the school’s PA system, so it had been good practice indeed. Once the “shaking” stopped, pupils and staff evacuated to outdoor sports courts, and reported to the appointed warden to have their names checked off. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 171019-SS-0107

From P1 Cigarette related break-ins have dominated headlines around New Zealand for the past few years, with some locations like dairies and petrol stations being targeted multiple times a month. Statistics from 2016 show that nationwide in a 13-month period leading up until September, there were more than 500 burglaries related to cigarettes. Earlier this year a night-time crime spree across the district that resulted in multiple vehicles being rammed and a car set alight in Mt Somers started with a cigarette burglary at a Tinwald petrol station. Earlier this year an Ashburton man pleaded guilty to his part in the theft of cigarettes worth $41,247. The break-ins included a Glentunnel dairy and a Hororata service station on February 12 last year; a Leeston dairy and service station on February 25 and the Hinds Tavern on March 2. In most cases, the thieves smashed their way in and removed cigarette cabinets. A Police spokesperson confirmed they were called to the Riverside Foodbar burglary and that their enquiries were ongoing.

Jobseekers ‘skyrocket’ – Opposition By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

An increase in the number of Mid Cantabrians on the dole is reflective of a slowing economy, says Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon. Territorial authority data for Ashburton District shows that as of September 2019, 494 people were on Jobseeker Support, representing an increase of 19 in the last quarter since June, from 475. It is a four per cent increase, part of what the Opposition calls an “explosion” nationally – a 4.9 per cent increase of 6700 more people on the dole in the last quarter. The local increase comes hot on the heels of a 13.4 per cent

increase in the district from June 2018 to June 2019, from 419 on the Jobseeker Support benefit, to 475. Falloon has echoed his National party leader Simon Bridges’ comments that the “sky-rocketing” numbers show the Labour-led government is not serious about getting Kiwis off welfare. He pointed out the relatively modest increase in Mid Canterbury in the last quarter was in line with a rise in the district’s unemployment rate – from 1.8 per cent in December and March, to 1.9 per cent in June. “There’s no doubt the economy is slowing down. When National left office the economy was grow-

ing strongly and creating 10,000 additional jobs every month,” Falloon said. Economic growth had slumped to an “anaemic” 2.4 per cent, and job growth had ground to a halt. This was despite the country’s exports having grown. “The Government are trying to bury their heads in the sand and deny what’s happening,” Falloon said. “Their anti-growth policies have led to a sharp cut in businesses having the confidence to invest. That’s tanked our growth rate and the number of jobs being created. A higher unemployment rate costs everyone.”

However, Labour List MP based in Rangitata Jo Luxton said it was important to keep the figures in context. Mid Canterbury’s unemployment rate of less than two per cent meant employers were looking for skilled workers. And nationally the unemployment rate was the lowest it had been for over a decade, at 3.9 per cent. “After nine years of neglect, we are putting more into helping people move into sustainable work,” Luxton said. The government was investing in upskilling and training, as well as investing $26 million to support people with disabilities or health conditions into em-

ployment, incentivising those on benefits to work and keep more of what they earn, and bolstering Ministry of Social Development frontline staff by 263 to help more into long-term work. “We are also committed to making sure the welfare system is fair and accessible when there is genuine need,” Luxton said. “With historically low rates of unemployment, it’s more important than ever to help people who aren’t working to stabilise their financial situation, but they also get the proactive employment support that they need to upskill so they can fill the roles available in our local businesses.”

■■ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Brown keen to get on with job By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Neil Brown might still be the Ashburton District’s mayor-elect, but four days into the job he’s already settled into his new office and has held a string of meetings with his newly elected council team. With final votes confirmed, and the council team unchanged from the top nine on election night, Brown said he’s been busy talking with those councillors finding out their interests and the positions they may like to hold on the new council ahead of official swearing-in on Thursday. Official results were released late Thursday and while the gap between two candidates in the council’s western ward was very narrow – just 14 votes, after special votes were counted, the final result remained in Rodger Letham’s favour. His challenger Evan Chisnall missed a seat around the council table by just 16 votes. For Brown that means he can move ahead and make critical appointments for his deputy mayor and the chairs of the council’s three standing committees. “I’ve met with pretty much all of the councillors. I know their interests and what they want and they’ve all been pretty accommodating but I’m still mulling those appointments over,” Brown said.

to get on with business,” he said. Brown counts himself fortunate to have a council team with just three newbies. The fourth new councillor Angus McKay has already served two terms as the

While there is no cut-off date for the leadership appointments, he’s keen to have decisions made before Thursday’s official swearing-in ceremony. “It’s critical to get things rolling,

district’s mayor. “I’m confident I have a good team on board and I’m hearing that in the community too, people are saying it’s a good council for the next three years.”

Until he is officially sworn in as mayor, Brown cannot make council decisions. His job until then is to appoint his team and to make sure he’s up to speed with the requirements of the job. Chief executive Hamish Riach has mayoral delegation. He might have 15 years’ experience as a councillor and three of those as deptuy mayor, but there were still plenty of areas of the job that were new, and where he was seeking Riach’s guidance, he said. “I’m in the office and that feels a bit weird. It’ll take a bit of getting used to so many people around. I’m used to my home office where there’s no one but me.” Right now the mayoral office is sparsely furnished, just a few council owned paintings on the wall, but Brown is planning to add his own personal touches. While Ashburton’s voter turnout was strong compared to many councils – 55.06 per cent, up 2 per cent on 2016, Brown believes the way votes are cast needs to change before the 2022 election to ensure younger voters are engaged with the voting process. Online voting has been discussed, was to be trialled but that trial was abandoned over security concerns, but he sees electronic voting as the way of the future.

Survey gauges support for public transport service By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A public transport service in the Ashburton District could be about to move one step closer with a district-wide survey under way to gauge community need. District councillor Liz McMillan and Safe Communities Ashburton District co-ordinator Lesley Symington are driving a project that could see a community vehicle in service around the district as part of a scheme widely used in other parts of Canterbury.

she said. An online survey is now running to gauge support for the establishment of a Community Vehicle Trust. If there is sufficient support, the service could initially focus on providing transport for people in rural towns into Ashburton on a regular basis for appointments or shopping. “We want to see what the community demand would be, how people see it working. We’d start with one vehicle but going by experiences in the rest of Canterbury

The Community Transport service is funded through Environment Canterbury and in areas where the service is running it is well used and that use is growing. Bringing the service to the Ashburton District is long overdue, McMillan said. “I have a copy of this ECan map that shows all the other community trusts around Canterbury. They’re everywhere, but there’s this huge gap where Mid Canterbury sits. I don’t know why we’ve been so slow to get involved,”

it will only grow, McMillan said. The community vehicle service would be available to everyone. It’s a scheme run on a not-for-profit basis and often involves volunteers to manage and deliver the service. Users pay a small amount towards operating costs. McMillan ran an informal survey in Methven and there had been strong support for a vehicle based in the village. “Now we really want to hear from people across the district who feel restricted from going about their

everyday business and activities in Ashburton by a lack of transport.” It was important people took a few minutes to provide feedback as this would be used to help decide what, if anything was needed in the way of public transport, McMillan said. The public transport survey is available at http://tinyurl.com/ CommunityTransportSurvey. Paper copies can be collected from Community House. The survey closes on November 22.

Methven retains hot spot tag By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Methven continues to be the Ashburton District’s real estate hot spot with median sales price for properties in the village increasing 12.7 per cent over the past year. The median price for the 12 months to September sat at $411.500, up from $365,000 12 months earlier. Methven also had the distinction of REINZ numbers putting it as the most expensive place in the district to buy a home. Rakaia kept the flag flying for rural towns, with an 11.6 per cent price increase over the past year, up from a median of $310,000 to $346,000. If the news was good for rural towns, it was bleak for the Ashburton suburb Netherby. House prices plummeted 17.7 per cent over the year to September 30, down from a median of $348,000 to $286,500. The affordability of that suburb improved even more dramatically over the past three months, with prices dropping 35.3 per cent for the September quarter. Prices showed solid growth in Hampstead, up 8.2 per cent to a

In brief Councillor omission I wish to extend my apologies to Mark Malcolm and your readers in regards to my column in the Wednesday, October 16 edition of the Ashburton Guardian. Mark was mistakenly omitted from the list of councillors who served our district in the last term of council. Mark served alongside former Mayor Donna Favel, Alasdair Urquhart, Peter Reveley, Russell Ellis, Selwyn Price and Thelma Bell. This omission was not intentional and I felt it necessary to follow up with this correction – Hamish Riach, Chief Executive.

median of $305,000. Price growth was slower in Allenton, 4.8 per cent to a median of $382,500. In Tinwald, the median was static at $327,000 but the shift over the last quarter was more marked, a drop of 4.7 per cent. The number of properties sold across the district over the past year was well up, 557 compared to 508 to September 30, 2018. More homes changed hands in Allenton than any other suburb, 203 followed by inner town Ash-

burton, 101. In Hampstead there were 68 sales, 38 in Methven, 46, Netherby, 27, Rakaia and 74 in Tinwald. Allenton numbers rose from 161 to 203 and inner Ashburton from 78 to 101. REINZ chief executive Bindi Norwell said that across Canterbury there had been an increase in the number of people attending open homes but that had not been matched by a surge in listings.

In September the district’s median sales price was $336,500, down $9000 on August but up $3000 on September 2019. The number of properties sold was also down from 62 last month to 48. The average number of days taken to sell a home was 40, well up on the September average of 32. Excluding Auckland, the country’s median house price is now $500,000.

Two Aucklanders might be sharing the spoils of the $38m Powerball draw from Wednesday night, but one lucky player who purchased their ticket in Rakaia will be receiving a financial boost. A ticket sold at Rakaia Mobil was one of 39 second division winning tickets from Wednesday night’s draw, with each taking home $15,232.

Switchboard fire

Lighting up Ashburton with Festival of Light

Members of the Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade were called to a switchboard fire on Wednesday afternoon. Chief Fire Officer Tyrone Burrowes said the fire was in a switchboard in a dairy shed, and did not spread to any other areas of the building. “There is going to be a bit of work for a sparky,” he said.

House raid ‘too far’

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

One of the most spectacular festivals on the Indian calendar will take place in Ashburton on Saturday night. Diwali, the Festival of Light celebrates the triumph of light over dark, good over evil and in Ashburton the Ashburton Indian Multicultural Charitable Trust will play host to the community in a celebration that will include food, entertainment and of course, candle lighting. Trust member Bikash Sukul said that support for the event was growing and this year he anticipates around 500 people will attend. And that will involve a huge amount of work for the trust team, he said. Just hours out they’re hard at work doing a mountain of food preparation work for the vegetar-

ian dishes, curries, rice and Indian sweets that will be offered. The meal will be served to guests at 5.30 and will be followed by a candle lighting ceremony, anticipated to start at about 7pm and this will be followed by speeches and entertainment. Dancing and music will be provided by members of the local Indian community along with entertainers from both Christchurch and Timaru. There will also be an opportunity for women and children to have their hands painted with henna designs. Last year Sukul said, Ashburton’s Diwali attracted just short of 400 guests This year he anticipates numbers will be even greater. Tickets at $18 a piece are available at the festival venue, the Ashburton Event Centre.

Auckland Council went too far when it raided the home of a local politician searching for evidence to prosecute him for work on his property, a judge has found. An investigator, three council officers, two surveyors and a police constable executed a search warrant at the home of Waiheke Local Board member Paul Walden in July last year. Waldren, who was at the council offices on the island when his wife Jo was served with the warrant, has been charged with four offences relating to building work and earthworks on the property. The search went beyond its authorising purpose and so went too far, said Judge David Kirkpatrick in a decision after a hearing to quash the evidence obtained in the search. - NZME

Students celebrate generosity By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

As their final year of secondary school winds down, Ashburton College Year 13 students celebrated their fundraising efforts and thanked the sponsors of a fresh initiative to the school. The shared morning tea initiative was started by the school’s student executive last year, and grew again this year, providing a morning tea to students at the school thanks to sponsorship by four local businesses who were thanked on Wednesday. Four businesses are on board with the scheme, and teacher Claire Bubb said it was fantastic to see the programme being carried forward by each student executive. “I like the saying if there is something that is working, don’t mess with it, but the student executive this year have done really well with bringing more sponsors on board,” she said. Bubb said there was also the possibility that they could look to move the initiative outside of the school, attempting to create a form of foodbank cafe providing free food and drinks to the community through food that would have otherwise been thrown out by local cafes. Students also raised more than

$2000 to go to two separate charities through events held by the school recently. A fundraising quizco held by the students at the Collegiate Rugby Club recently raised $1057

which has been donated to the Ashburton branch of the YMCA. YMCA youth development team member Stacey Barnett said the funds would be put towards the organisation’s Youth

Resiliency Programme. “We are already in a lot of schools in the Mid-South Canterbury area and we hope to be in all of them eventually,” she said. The programme works with students in Years 9 through to 13 on resiliency, and giving students the ability to recognise when they or others may be struggling. A cheque was also presented to Ronald McDonald House South Island trustee David Whalley for the sum of $1034 which was raised through a mufti day. Whalley, who also owns the Ashburton and Rolleston McDonald’s franchises, said it was a privilege to accept the funds for the charity that does so much great work supporting families affected by illness. “It is something that is very dear to a lot of families,” he said. “We had a trustee meeting just the other night and I went for a wander round and it just blew me away at the amount of pain and suffering these families were experiencing.” Whalley said there had been a noticeable increase in families that were feeling the effects of increased anxiety and depression in the Canterbury region, with the earthquakes and March 15 terror attack contributing factors.

Watch what goes in your rubbish, recycle bins By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

It might not have happened in the Ashburton District previously, but the council want to remind people not to put potentially flammable items in their rubbish or recycling after a string of fires in Auckland. Three kerbside recycling collection trucks have had fire incidents in Auckland within the past month, each requiring intervention from firefighters. Ashburton District Council service delivery group manager Neil McCann said the Ashburton District Council’s contractor EnviroWaste confirmed that no fires and/or damage has been reported to collection trucks to date.

“EnviroWaste operators are trained to look out for situations where this can happen and take preventive action where possible or as required,” he said. Investigators found one of the Auckland fires was caused by a lithium-ion battery that had been placed in a recycling bin. “Studies suggest that the two most common causes of fires in rubbish and recycling trucks are ashes and lithium batteries,” McCann said. “Through our educational programmes, residents are frequently reminded that ashes should not be put into wheelie bins and neither should E-waste which includes all manner of laptops and household batteries.

“These should be recycled at the Resource Recovery Park, not through the wheelie bin service.” “Additionally, our kerbside recycling audits help further educate the public on the use of the wheelie bin service.” On Tuesday a fire broke out in a recycling truck in a Warkworth residential street. The truck had to be diverted and the load was jettisoned in a new subdivision where the load was assessed without posing a risk to local residents, housing, or passing pedestrians and with minimal disruption to traffic. The NZ Fire Service attended the incident, called in a loader to turn over the dumped load, and hosed down the paper and card-

board to prevent the fire reigniting. An earlier recycling truck fire happened in Green Bay on October 7. The NZ Fire Service was called and doused the truck hopper, extinguishing the blaze. The truck was then diverted to the Auckland Council’s Waitakere Transfer Station, where it was unloaded safely. Investigators found the culprit to be a lithium-ion battery that someone had placed in their recycling bin. In September, another fire occurred where the cause was unable to be determined. It is suspected the blaze was caused by hot barbecue ash being tipped into a kerbside recycling bin.

Familiar faces back at Ellesmere A&P Show By Jonathan Leask jonathan@selwynapp.nz

Both dairy and beef cattle make a welcome return to the Selwyn Spring Show. The Ellesmere A&P Association’s 149th annual show is themed Celebrating Selwyn and there will be plenty of the district on display at the Ellesmere Showgrounds in Leeston. Mycoplasma bovis kept the cows away last year but they are back while the show also hosts the final of the International Mounted Games, featuring teams from around the world, demonstrating agility, speed and horsemanship at the highest level. There is also everything from chickens to alpacas, horse riding to sheep shearing as well as good food, wine and craft beer, cooking demonstrations and hundreds of displays. In the dairy section the number of entries are still down on previous shows due to M. bovis, however there will be a selection of ayrshire dairy cows while the alpaca and dairy goat sections have large numbers of entries. Sheep entries have stayed strong once again, with the dorper section having record entries due to it being the feature breed of the year drawing exhibitors from all over Canterbury. There will also be over 50 pet lambs making tough work for the judges. Sheep dog trials will again be hotly contested and will feature the return of the current New Zealand test captain Andy Clark and his dog Girl. This year the wearable arts in the PGG Wrightson’s marquee will be showcasing how spectacular ensembles can capture the essence of Selwyn. It all kicks off at 8am and builds up to the grand parade at 3pm.

Fifty-plus expo an all-round winner An expo aimed at encouraging people to plan for a retirement that involved a range of activities attracted a big turnout in Ashburton on Wednesday. 50 Plus Connexion Showcase was the brainchild of Waitaha Primary Health and a group of Ashburton organisations working in the health and aged care sector. Its goal was to bring together groups and organisations that offered activities for people aged 50 plus. It was based on the understanding that people who were busy in retirement were healthier and more satisfied with life, said Waitaha practice support navigator Brenna Russell. Support for the expo both from those who staged displays and those looking for information was great, she said, with people keen to gather information. Groups involved included sport, arts and crafts, social and special interest groups. The event is fully funded by Advance Ashburton and supported by Presbyterian Support, the Rural Support Trust, Community House, Senior Citizens and Aged Concern.

A 21-year love affair with records from the past By Sue Newman

If you want to know who owned which property in early Ashburton, ask John Carter. He’s made a happy retirement occupation out of old property records, taking information painstakingly written in rates books and on certificates of title, and transferring that information into computer files. And in doing that, Carter has created an historical record of his own, 21 years as a volunteer at the Ashburton Museum. Becoming a keeper of history wasn’t something he sought. In fact he thought history was a waste of time at school, but like many things that become a passion, his came from an accidental encounter. ‘I was a member of the Vintage Car Club and they had a night at the old museum. Rita (Wright) happened to ask if anyone would be interested in fixing up an old display circus that was stored in

boxes,” he said. Carter had not long retired and decided he’d give it a go. “I ended up fixing the circus and doing a lot more work, it was a bit of fun and I loved it.” Without intending to Carter became the museum’s fix-it man, drawing on the skills learned from his farming background. “Anything they wanted done, I seemed to do it.” He recalls the back sheds at the old museum, crammed full of items there was no space to display. And he recalls how the threat of rain meant covering those items with plastic because of a leaky roof. Officially he’s been a one afternoon a week volunteer, but admits when there were odd jobs to do, he has no hesitation in putting his hand up. A piece of work he particularly enjoyed was transferring information from certificates of title for farms onto digital files. As an ex stock and station agent

he was very familiar with the rural parts of the Ashburton District and said it was a real thrill to be tracing the ownership of many of those farms over many, many years. Now his attention has turned to the old Ashburton Borough Council’s rates books. Page after page details names, addresses and amounts paid, one by one Carter is transferring the contents of those books online. Currently he’s working on 1903. It’s fascinating work and at times he said he finds himself stopping and taking a visual journey along town streets, particularly in the CBD, putting business names to buildings. “I’m getting through two or three rates books a year. It keeps me busy and I love it. I’m doing something I really enjoy,” he said. Carter might have hit a 21-year milestone as a volunteer, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up the work, saying it was great to feel he was playing a part in preserving the district’s history.

■■GOOGLE MAP PRANK

In brief

Logan Park became Bogan Park By Jono Edwards NZME

A prankster changed the name of a Dunedin school to something slightly less appealing on Google Maps on Wednesday. In the afternoon when users scrolled around northern parts of Dunedin on the service, the location marker for Logan Park High School had been replaced. Instead it said “Bogan Park High School” with characters depicting a leering face next to it. Logan Park High School co-principal Kristan Mouat said the school was “not overly worried” about the edit. However, it did hope it would get changed back. “It hasn’t been brought to our attention. I guess it’s just part of the current climate, with social media and technology.” In the school’s media studies classes pupils learned about fake news and information in the digital age, she said. “So I guess this relates to that.” By Wednesday evening the school’s name had been reinstated. A Google spokeswoman said

The solicitor-general has asked for a coroner’s case involving the death of two Spanish tourists in Northland nearly a decade ago to be reopened. What has sparked the reason to have the case reopened could not be revealed but would be part of the inquest according to a Coronial Services spokesman. The inquest has been scheduled for December 4 this year in the Auckland District Court before Coroner Peter Ryan. Coroner Brandt Shortland released his findings into the death of Spanish couple Joan Roma-Serra and Eva Fajula-Rovira, both aged 34, in June 2012. The fatal head-on crash involving the couple’s Toyota Hiace campervan and a Mercedes

When users scrolled around northern parts of Dunedin on the service, the location marker for Logan Park High School had been replaced. overall allowing users to suggest information “provides comprehensive and up-to-date info”, but there could be occasional

inaccuracies. “When this happens, we do our best to address the issue as quickly as possible.”

Users could flag listings they believed violated its listing policies by clicking “suggest an edit” and then “report”.

Benz truck and trailer unit happened on December 22, 2009, about 10.30am just two days before they were due to fly home after completing their threeweek holiday in New Zealand. Shortland found the tourists were in the wrong place at the wrong time and did not contribute to their deaths in any way. “These were unnecessary deaths. They could not have avoided this unfolding situation as their options to take evasive action were zero,” he said. “I find the truck lost control as a direct result of driver error. I am satisfied there are no mechanical defects or sudden loss of electrical or mechanical functions within the truck that contributed in any way to this crash.” Evidence was given by Linfox

Logistics Limited, the company who owned the truck, that confirmed the truck was in a proper state of fitness consistent with a certificate of fitness as required before the crash. During the original inquest it was confirmed the rental van driven by Roma-Serra was travelling north on State Highway 1 near the Maromaku turnoff when it was hit head-on by the truck driven by Ioane Etuale. The truck lost control causing the truck and trailer to jack-knife and to crash into the campervan. A car following the truck was hit by the trailer as the driver tried to take evasive action. Shortland said it was extremely lucky Lisa Berger and her young son were still alive. The Spanish tourists died at the scene.

A 30m section of the southbound lane where Etuale lost control was in poor condition with a pattern of ruts and corrugations known as “crocodile cracking”. It was known for being difficult to handle, especially for an unladen truck like the one Etuale was driving. “Uneven surface” signs were erected the next day and the highway was later repaired. Etuale of Auckland, was charged with two counts of careless driving causing death and one of careless driving causing injury, but was found not guilty in the Kaikohe District Court in 2011. Etuale did not attend the inquest held in Whangarei in 2012 and could not be found by police at that time.

NZ First MP removed from Tauranga bar NZME New Zealand First MP Clayton Mitchell says he is victim of a “politically motivated” attack after he was forced out of a Tauranga bar on Saturday night. Mitchell fronted media yesterday and said that he expected an apology from security “buffoons” at the Brew Co bar for overreacting and “forcefully” removing him and his friend from the bar. He vehemently rejected reports that he had accidentally hit a female bar staffer, causing her to cry, or that either he or his friend had told security “we are the law” when they were asked to leave.

Do not swim at Browns Bay beach, that’s the message from authorities after elevated levels of E. coli were discovered there. Discharge from a stormwater outlet was tested by Auckland Council and Watercare and it was discovered levels had increased. The beach was not safe for swimming until the issue was rectified, authorities said in a statement last evening. The discharge indicated illegal crossconnections from wastewater to stormwater generally and initial investigations are yet to find the source of the problem. - NZME

Fatal 2009 crash inquest to be reopened By Kirstin Edge

“We know the Young Nats are in behind, trying to stir something up here,” Mitchell said. “Essentially there was some behaviour of a staff member that overreacted and very, very forcefully handled myself and a friend of mine. “I have spoken with the owner of the business and I think they’re taking measures to resolve that at their end.” Young Nats president Sam Stead rejected Mitchell’s claim. “This issue has nothing to do with us. The Young Nats wouldn’t waste their time on an MP they’ve never heard of.” Security guard John Domoney, who was working at the bar at the

time, told Newshub that Mitchell and his friend were asked repeatedly to move from an area where bar staff needed to pass through. Domoney said that when they were asked to move, the bar staff were told: “We are the law.” He said that Mitchell accidentally hit a female bar staffer on the side of a head with a glass. “A female staff member came out of the bar crying and upset and she had said one of the guys from that group which was Clayton had hit her on the side of the head with a glass and spilled his drink on her,” he told Newshub. “It wasn’t an assault, it was more of an accidental incident, but it was because he was in that

bar area.” But Mitchell said he and his friend were ordering a drink at the bar, and there was plenty of room for bar staff to move around them. “If standing at a bar that is busy and ordering a drink is being a ‘dick’, then I think that’s why they need to talk to the security member about their behaviour.” He said he and his friend moved away from the bar after getting their drinks, and security approached them three minutes later. Asked if he owed anyone an apology, Mitchell said that he was the one who should be given an apology.

Whanganui Police have charged a 28-year-old man with the murder of Jasmine Wilson. Jasmine, 30, died on August 2 after receiving non-accidental injuries in Whanganui on July 31. The man is currently on remand in custody and is due to appear in Whanganui District Court on October 29. He was initially arrested on August 26 on charges of assault with intent to injure, and injuring with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Following further investigation he has been charged with assaulting and murdering Jasmine Wilson. - NZME

Crash victim named Police can now confirm the name of the man who died following a single-vehicle crash on State Highway 29 on the Lower Kaimai. He was 51-year-old Shane Michael King of Putaruru. The investigation into the crash is ongoing. The crash happened about 7.40pm on Tuesday. Police divers on Wednesday found the body of King inside the car that left the road and ended up submerged in the Wairoa River. - NZME

Arrests after pursuit Up to six people have been arrested following a police pursuit involving two cars in and around Kawerau yesterday. A police media spokeswoman said at 1.35pm police were called following an alleged petrol drive-off in Kawerau involving two cars. Both cars allegedly failed to stop for police, resulting in a chase. One car came to a stop near Pukehina, the other stopped on State Highway 30 near Rotoma. “A number of people, around five to six, were arrested across both vehicles however the total number and charges aren’t quite clear at this stage,” the spokeswoman said. - NZME

Rare art auction Three rare New Zealand artworks could fetch more than $1.2m when they go under the hammer next week. Nearly 60 paintings belonging to the late district court judge Paul Barber, and wife Kerry, will be auctioned at Auckland’s International Art Centre next Wednesday. Among them are pieces by artists ranging from Toss Wollaston, Colin McCahon, Lois White and Evelyn Page to Gretchen Albrecht, Nigel Brown and Dick Frizzell. A highlight was a recently rediscovered Don Binney 1974 oil painting, Pipiwharauroa over Te Henga, depicting a shining cuckoo over Bethells Beach, and expected to sell for up to $650,000. - NZME

Syria blocks Turkish plans AP Syrian forces have rolled into the strategic border town of Kobani, blocking one path for the Turkish military to establish a “safe zone” free of Syrian Kurdish fighters along the frontier as part of its week-old offensive. The seizure of Kobani by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad also pointed to a dramatic shift in northeastern Syria: The town was where the United States military and Kurdish fighters first united to defeat the Islamic State group four years ago and holds powerful symbolism for Syrian Kurds and their ambitions of self-rule. The convoys of government forces drove into Kobani after dark, a resident said. The resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, was one of the few remaining amid fears of a Turkish attack on the town. Syria’s state-run media confirmed its troops entered the town. Syria’s presence in Kobani puts a firm limit on Turkish ambitions in its offensive. The town lies between a Turkish-controlled enclave farther west and smaller areas to the east that Turkey seized in the past week. Turkey had talked of creat-

Turkish forces had shelled Kobani in recent days as part of the offensive but had not advanced ground troops on it. The battle for Kobani turned the once-nondescript town into a centrepiece of the international campaign against Isis, with TV cameras flocking to the Turkish side of the border to track the plumes of smoke rising from explosions in the besieged town. The Isis extremists were finally driven out in early 2015

in their first major defeat, and an alliance was cemented that would eventually bring down the group’s caliphate in Syria. Now the Kurdish authority agreed to allow Damascus to deploy its military in the town and other parts of northeast Syria to protect them from Turkey’s offensive launched after US President Donald Trump pulled back American troops working with the Kurds. The US-led coalition said it had vacated a cement factory south of Kobani, which had served as a co-ordination centre with the Kurdish-led forces.

Coalition spokesman Col Myles Caggins said that after troops left the base, two US fighter jets launched pre-planned airstrikes to destroy ammunition that was left behind. The coalition also said its forces had left Raqqa, the former capital of the Islamic State that was liberated in 2017, and Tabqa, a town to the west. After being effectively abandoned by the US, the Kurds’ turn to the Syrian government for protection has allowed Damascus’ ally, Russia, to step in as the biggest power player. Moscow asserted that role, offering to mediate a resolution to the conflict, one day before US Vice President Mike Pence was to begin a mission to press Turkey for a cease-fire. Earlier this week Trump imposed limited economic sanctions on Turkey to raise the pressure on Ankara. Erdogan defied the sanctions, saying the only way its military offensive would end was if Syrian Kurdish fighters leave a designated border area. Erdogan also said he had “no problem” accepting an invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit Russia soon to discuss Syria. But he threw into doubt a planned November meeting with Trump, citing the sanctions.

Bindi’s wedding heartache It’s a day Steve Irwin would have given the world to be at. And while his beautiful daughter Bindi (21) and her fiancé Chandler Powell (22) prepare to tie the knot at her family’s beloved Australia Zoo it seems her special moment will be marred by the continuing fallout from his tragic death. Key members of the Irwin clan, including Steve’s father Bob and sister Joy, won’t be among the revellers, after it was revealed the family has been locked in a bitter feud since Steve died in 2006. Joy claims Steve’s widow Terri (55) “forced” her and Bob out of Australia Zoo after Steve was killed by a stingray, and says the two sides of the family haven’t spoken since. Bob (80) has even given up hope of an invitation to the big day.

Large 6.3 magnitude earthquake kills four AP A landslide and building damage caused by a strong earthquake in the southern Philippines killed four people and injured dozens. The Office of Civil Defense said yesterday morning that two people died and 18 were injured in a landslide set off by the quake in Magsaysay town in Davao del Sur province. ABS-CBN television network reported two more deaths elsewhere, including a girl hit by a collapsed house wall. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the 6.3 magnitude earthquake Wednesday night was centred 22 kilometres southeast of Tulunan in North Cotabato province at a relatively shallow depth of 8 kilometres. More than 200 aftershocks have been recorded. The US Geological Survey placed the magnitude at 6.4 with a depth of 14 kilometres. OCD said at least 27 people were injured in the landslide in Magsaysay or from falling objects and collapsed concrete walls. Some areas lost power, including the transport hub of Kidapawan city. A fire broke out in the Gaisano shopping mall in General Santos city shortly after the quake, but there were no reports of people trapped.

Ron ELy’s wife stabbed Tarzan actor Ron Ely’s wife was stabbed to death in their Southern California home by their son, who deputies found outside the house and fatally shot, authorities said. Valerie Lundeen, a former Miss Florida, was found stabbed to death at the couple’s Santa Barbara property on Tuesday night, according to TMZ police sources. A 911 call after 8pm (local time) reported a family disturbance involving the couple’s son. The deputies identified the couple’s son, 30-year-old Cameron Ely, as the suspect, and found him outside the home after a search, the statement said.

Kravitz announces NZ tour Damaged walls are seen on a building after a strong quake struck the southern Philippines yesterday. PHOTO AP Vice Mayor Joselito Pinol of North Cotabato’s M’lang town said patients were evacuated out of a hospital to ensure their safety during the quake. Several buildings were damaged, including Pinol’s office, where the glass-windowed facade fell. Schools in quake-hit areas, including the president’s hometown of Davao city, sus-

pended classes yesterday so buildings can be inspected for damage. President Rodrigo Duterte was in the capital, Manila, when the quake struck. Leslie Francisco, a local disaster response officer, said a small college in Digos city in Davao del Sur province had extensive damage. The Philippines is one of the world’s most disaster-prone

countries, with frequent typhoons, earthquakes and volcanic activity. It lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, the arc of faults around the Pacific Ocean where most of the world’s seismic activity occurs. A magnitude 7.7 quake killed nearly 2000 people in the northern Philippines in 1990.

OUR VIEW

Let the decision making begin

ne of the first sets of decisions, mayor elect, Neil Brown will make over the next week may, in fact, be some of the most important he makes in the early stages of his tenure as mayor of the Ashburton District. Brown will have a busy week, meeting with and getting to know his group of councillors – all the while pondering who might sit best where when it comes to committees and groups. Key roles to be filled include the position of chair and vice-chair of environmental services, service delivery and finance. Positions which last term were filled by Brown (initially), Peter Reveley (environmental services), Stuart Wilson (service delivery) and of course Russell Ellis (finance – after

Brown stepped aside to focus on being deputy mayor). And there’s also the all-important role of deputy mayor to be filled too. Filling these positions are important decisions and an important time. Not just for Brown, but for the Ashburton District. It’s critical that the right people are wearing the right hats and that some of the significant work done

in previous terms is allowed to continue, in order to see continued growth and prosperity in some sectors. But similarly, it is also important that Brown reflects carefully on what might not have worked in recent years and that he comes up with the best possible solutions to see things return to a more profitable manner. By now you’d expect that the discussions have been had and that the decisions have been made and it will be interesting to learn in the next week or so just who has been given what role and who will play a vital part in some of the more significant aspects of council life. But it’s the role of deputy mayor which will most likely attract the most public interest.

Brown will have been cautious in his own mind of ensuring he gets the right person into the role with there being a strong possibility, this time round, that the position may require a lot more hands-on work than what it previously has. That could mean becoming a strong and prominent face out and about in the community, representing the mayor and the Ashburton District Council at countless events and gatherings. But just where that person stands within the district will also be of high importance. There’s almost an unwritten rule there that suggests the position should be filled by a trusted, experienced and well-versed member of the council bench, someone who’s shown they’re capable of

stepping up to the plate when required and of doing the job well. With a really new-look line-up of councillors this year, those who fit into that category are probably few and far between and the loss of some faces from the previous term will have made the decision a little more difficult to figure out for Brown than what it might have been if certain individuals were still there and in the mix. Officially, the curtain will open on this new-look Ashburton District Council next Thursday, but the ground work and organising will have been done well before then so that, once the niceties are completed, it’s straight down to business and the wheels can start turning again for the next three years.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, October 18, the 291st day of 2019. There are 74 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 18, 1977, West German commandos stormed a hijacked Lufthansa jetliner on the ground in Mogadishu, Somalia, freeing all 86 hostages and killing three of the four hijackers. On this date: In 1648, Boston shoemakers were authorised to form a guild to protect their interests; it’s the first American labour organisation on record. In 1892, the first long-distance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened. In 1898, the American flag was raised in Puerto Rico shortly before Spain formally relinquished control of the island to the US. In 1912, black boxer Jack Johnson was arrested in Chicago, accused of violating the Mann Act because of his relationship with his white girlfriend, Lucille Cameron. In 1924, from a family sheep station in East Otago, amateur radio operator Frank Bell sent a groundbreaking Morse code transmission received and replied to by a London-based amateur operator, becoming the first trans-global radio transmission. In 1931, inventor Thomas Alva Edison died in New Jersey, at age 84. In 1944, Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia during World War Two. In 1954, New Zealand Opera Group had its first opening night. In 1961, the movie musical West Side Story, starring Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer, premièred in New York, the film’s setting. In 1962, James D Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were honoured with the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for determining the double-helix molecular structure of DNA.

Maturity, it’s overrated W

e are having some maturity issues at home at the moment. No it’s not with Miss nearly 3-years-old Maddy or with Bowie the 8-month-old black lab. It’s me. I have done some research on this and it’s not really my fault. Men mature a lot later than women do. The average bloke finally grows up at 43 compared to the average chicky babe who crosses that line at 32. I am clearly one of the blokes keeping our average on the high side. Maddy has a major role to play in our issues, well when I say ‘our’ I really mean Manda’s. Maddy is a right little parrot at the moment and as is typical, she seems to pick up on and repeat with gusto the words you don’t want her to. This is the catalyst for my immaturity! How is a bloke meant to keep a straight face and ignore these situations? Manda was at work on Tuesday arvo and me and Maddy were hanging out. There was a pungent smell in the lounge all of a sudden. The dog was outside, probably digging another hole in my lawn, pruning our apple tree again, before running around the yard with his new five foot long chew toy or burying a bone in the middle of the broccoli plants in my vege garden again. So that left either me or Maddy. To the best of my knowledge I hadn’t had a moment like my mate in Auckland who sharted while looking at used cars with his new girlfriend (refer my column a few weeks ago). As I removed the nappy and before I could utter a word, she exclaimed with fervour, “Phooorrrr, holy hell that really stinks!” “Exactly Maddy,” I replied before remembering the straightfaced, ignoring plan.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Later that afternoon, I was busy doing some virtual stable work on my phone and noticed how things had become very quiet all of a sudden. I went to investigate. Here was Maddison straddling the dog’s water bowl, splashing Bowie, trying to encourage him into a double, front-footed stomp into the bowl. Much like he does in her paddling pool with some encouragement. “Right! Off to time out,” I said, grabbing the dog, as he was heading that way too. Off she went and sat down. It’s what happened next that cracked me up, before remembering the straight-faced ignoring plan again. She proceeded to give herself a jolly good telling off. “What the hell Maddy, I’ve told you not to play in the water bowl,” followed by a whole lot of broken sentences, all with a stern tone. Once I stopped giggling, I thought to myself, oh well that saved me a job. Hey it could be worse. When my boy Josh was a wee fella (around 16 years ago), he loved all vehicles, especially trucks.

But like a lot of kids around 3-years-of-age, he had trouble pronouncing trucks and would swap the TR for an F. This I also found very amusing until a ‘very big truck’ went past us, while walking on a very busy East Street one afternoon. Most people around us that day didn’t stick to the straightface and ignore plan either! Till next week, hoo roo

Fair Pay Agreement flaws emerge By Pattrick Smellie NZME

Likely sticking points in the government’s slowly emerging plan to implement a new system of wage bargaining through national Fair Pay Agreements are becoming clearer following the release of a public discussion document on the proposals. Key issues on which political wrangling can be expected include proposals that a “market test” be carried out after an agreement has been negotiated and before it is put in place, to ensure it does not contain undue economic risks, along with arguments over the boundaries of proposed FPAs’ industry or sector coverage and regional variability. The long-awaited next step in the government’s labour law reforms was released by Workplace Relations Minister Iain Lees-Galloway yesterday, a day after he gave the Council of Trade Unions’ biennial conference in Wellington no assurances on the timing of legislation that would be required before FPAs could be negotiated. The 56-page discussion document from the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employ-

ment shows officials seeking a fine balance between the hopes and fears of both unions and employer groups for a set of reforms the government is concerned will contribute further to the skittish and increasingly pessimistic business mood in recent months. “The requirement (in FPA negotiations) to specify both occupation and sector, combined with the public interest test and representativeness test, should drive initiators to only include relevant occupations that could benefit from an FPA,” the document says, referring to key parameters that would determine whether or not an FPA could be negotiated. “Occupations with high bargaining power would likely not be included if applicants need to pass a public interest test. This will encourage applicants to choose the most relevant coverage and reduce the risk of overlaps.” The proposals suggest that either 1000 workers or 10 per cent of workers in an identified sector or industry, whichever is the smaller, should be able to trigger an FPA negotiation. In sectors where there is evidence of such

negotiation position had been reached. The proposal to undertake economic or market impact testing appears to represent such a barrier to an FPA moving to implementation immediately after negotiations have successfully concluded. The CTU is targeting three lightly unionised, poorly paid groups of workers as the first priorities for FPAs as it seeks to prove its primary focus is improving the lot of workers in the lowest-paid parts of the economy.

Council of Trade Unions president Richard Wagstaff welcomed the discussion document, which seeks public submissions by Nov. 27. Issues on which unions would seek change were in initiation processes, market impact testing, and representation, he said. A six-point manifesto released by the CTU before its conference strongly recommended against any further steps after a final

consultation process, which is expected to produce policy recommendations, which will then be the subject of coalition negotiations and the introduction of draft legislation. Unions hope that the legislation might be passed before the election. The MBIE document also outlines processes for including a government-appointed ‘navigator’ to FPA talks and discusses at length how to ensure fair coverage of both employees and employers in the bargaining process. At issue is the potential for some workers and their employers not to know that negotiation is occurring, and for some workers and employers to want to choose representation at the bargaining table other than their national representative bodies. The ability to negotiate regional variations, or even region-specific FPAs, is also discussed, although such negotiations “could significantly increase the number of FPAs and the complexity of managing the system,” MBIE says. Data at a regional level may also not be reliable enough to support a public interest test.

t was a week of gains for the local sharemarket this week, with positive news from various companies on the NZX. Globally, European shares rose to their highest level in three months on Tuesday, while reporting season in the US got off to a positive start. Sky TV kicks back Sky TV announced on Monday that it had reached an agreement for a broadcast deal with the New Zealand, Australian, South African and Argentinian Rugby Unions. The deal will also see New Zealand Rugby become a five per cent shareholder in Sky. The broadcast rights include exclusive coverage of all Investec Rugby Championship, Steinlager Series, Investec Super Rugby, Mitre 10 Cup and all New Zealand’s other domestic competitions. Sky was the most traded stock on the NZX on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, jumping 20.22 per cent in the three sessions. Positive updates from leading New Zealand companies led the domestic market higher Fisher and Paykel Healthcare upgraded its revenue and earnings guidance for FY2020 on Monday, after gaining the rights to sell its new full-face mask in the US. F&P Healthcare said the sale of the new Vitera mask used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) was expected to add $10m to its previous guidance provided in August. The company is now forecasting a net profit of between $255m to $265m for the financial year ended March 31, 2020, with an operating revenue of $1.19m. Restaurant Brands also traded strongly following the announce-

ment of positive half year results, with net profit after tax up 14 per cent on the year prior. KFC was the key driver of the upgrade, with a record performance in the quarter. Fletcher Building announced a new $15m off-site house production plant Fletcher Building opened New Zealand’s largest purpose designed, offsite home manufacturing facility in Auckland on Wednesday. The high-tech site can produce components for at least 500 new homes a year. This facility will reduce on-site build times by 60 per cent, or from 22 weeks to around 6-10 weeks. Another positive for the housing market was record highs shown in the Residential Property Data released from REINZ. Median house prices across New Zealand climbed by 6.6 per cent in September to a record high of $597,000, up from $560,000 in September 2018. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose more than expected by the market Data released by Stats NZ on Wednesday showed the CPI rose 0.7 per cent in the September quarter. The annual inflation rate fell to 1.5 per cent from 1.7 per cent in the June quarter. The increase was more than expected by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which had forecast annual inflation of 1.3 per cent.

Global Dairy Trade (GDT) headline index up 0.5 per cent Dairy product prices increased for the third session in a row at the GDT auction on Wednesday morning. Rennet casein had the biggest increase, up 3.6 per cent, while skim milk powder prices climbed 2.4 per cent and anhydrous milk fat gained 0.8 per cent. Prices for key product group, whole milk powder, were unchanged. Butter declined 0.4 per cent and cheddar fell 2.2 per cent. US earnings season kicked off on a positive note Johnson & Johnson shares rose 1.8 per cent after third quarter earnings and revenue beat expectations, amid thousands of consumer health-related lawsuits. The growth in earnings and revenue was attributed to a lift in sales of its cancer and prescription drugs. Meanwhile, shares in JP Morgan climbed on Tuesday, after reporting positive quarterly earnings, including record revenue. European markets swung amid Brexit talks European shares closed at a three-month high on Tuesday, after Brexit negotiations sparked optimism in the markets. This was the fourth daily gain in the EU market. The British pound soared to a four-month high against the US dollar. However, Brexit talks hung in the balance on Wednesday, as investors paused for guidance. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners. This article should not be deemed as advice.

tipped to increase

By NZME

Westpac is predicting that house prices will increase by up to 7 per cent in 2020 and now ASB says the market is “springing back into life”. The Westpac prediction comes as the latest data from the Real Estate Institute shows prices picking up after a sluggish period. In its Home Truths newsletter, Westpac said the cancellation of capital gains tax, combined with tumbling mortgage rates would push prices higher. The bank predicts the turnaround of the market will be most pronounced in Christchurch and Auckland, where markets have been weakest. This comes as the Real Estate Institute’s House Price Index, which measures the changing value of property, rose 3.6 per cent to a record high in the year to September.

Median house prices across New Zealand increased 7.3 per cent, to a record high of $597,000, over the year earlier. Median house prices in Auckland rose 0.5 per cent to $848,000, and sales volumes were up nearly 3.6 per cent in the region over the year before. The regions with the biggest increase in median prices included Manawatū-Whanganui, Southland, Taranaki and Hawke’s Bay. Those with the biggest price drops were West Coast, Northland and Nelson. While the national volume of sales was flat, REINZ chief executive Bindi Norwell said it was the highest number of properties sold in a September month for three years. “This suggests that we’re starting to see the usual spring uplift and also that more confidence is starting to creep back into the market,” she said.

Regions with the highest volume of sales growth included Tasman, Otago and West Coast. Mike Jones, ASB senior economist, has also commented on the REINZ figures. NZ’s housing market is springing into life. It’s an important sign monetary stimulus still works. It’s just that there are different sectoral impacts and lags to consider. We expect the housing market upturn to gather pace in coming months,” Jones wrote. ASB had long been calling a spring lift in the housing market, due to mortgage rate cuts that began in autumn providing a boost to activity and prices from around now, given the usual lags in play. “We’re now seeing clearer signs of this pick-up occurring. Importantly, Auckland activity has rebounded strongly from mid-year stagnation.

Prices are starting to respond to the prior lift in activity. And new listings are rising from low levels, as sellers become encouraged. We expect the housing upswing to gather pace in coming months,” Jones said. OneRoof editor Owen Vaughan told the Herald that there have already been strong signs of increased activity across the market. “We’ve been hearing from agents in Auckland since the start of spring and illustrate the strength of the turnaround in city’s real estate market,” Vaughan said. “Open homes are packed, and we are seeing sale prices well above CV in many of premium suburbs that had been in a funk. Auctions clearance rates are also ticking upwards, which will give homeowners who had been unsure of the market the confidence to list their properties.”

Stronger, safer, more durable

SUZU continues to build a reputation for diesel engines since developing Japan’s first air-cooled automotive diesel engine in 1936. Constant technological improvements, innovations and in-depth experience across the production of more than 26 million diesel engines means ISUZU is an established global leader in developing capable and efficient engines for all kinds of applications. The unwavering commitment to performance is on show in the ever popular 430Nm 4JJ1-TC Hi-power 3.0 litre engine with a Variable Geometry System (VGS) turbo charger. This engine delivers practical torque for improved highway acceleration, genuine off road performance and uncompromised towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes. As a leading global producer of commercial vehicles, ISUZU understands the importance of using high quality, well designed and durable components to make everything in the ISUZU D-MAX last longer. ISUZU D-MAX TOUGH, uncompromising utes are built using technologies and features taken directly from it’s truck heritage. The D-MAX chassis gains truck strength and durability that delivers more confident road holding and balance under a diverse range of conditions, with or without load. Thorough testing of vehicles in harsh,

real world conditions means that it is engineered to last. A century of experience in truck manufacturing is evident in every single ISUZU D-MAX – this is ISUZU’s truck DNA. ISUZU’s ‘universal design’ concept drives development and inclusion of features that are intuitive to use, easy to reach and greatly improves occupant and driver convenience. The distinctive wider door arches on the ISUZU D-MAX make for easy access to the cabin offering generous head and leg room as well as comfortably designed

seats for every occupant. An abundance of thoughtfully placed storage and cup holders complete the interior giving it a striking sense of design and function. In addition, state of the art features like the built-in GPS enabled audio system or the 8-speaker surround sound (double cab models)* and Bluetooth® connectivity all feature controls that are effortless to reach and simple to use. The D-MAX offers all of the luxury appointments expected in modern vehicles. Premium leather seats with power

height adjustment (LS-T models only) rear seats with 60/40 split fold up/down configuration, instrument panel with multi-information display (LS-M, LS & LS-T models only), 8” touch screen audio system with USB, AUX, Bluetooth connectivity and an inbuilt SAT NAV function (LS & LS-T models only) Double Cab 4WD LS-T interior, push start and passive entry system (LS-T models only) * LS & LS-T Models only. At ISUZU, safety is always the first thought. Careful attention to detail allows ISUZU to deliver higher levels of active safety features. The Hill Start Assist (HSA) function engages automatically on significant gradients to prevent the ISUZU D-MAX rolling when moving from a stationary position while the Hill Descent Control (HDC) allows a smooth hill descent at a controlled speed. Intelligent cabin design allows excellent road visibility while Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and projector lens headlamps actively work to keep drivers alert to potential hazards and in control. When combined with its tough, high tensile steel cabin, energy absorbing front end, side impact anti-intrusion bars and six airbags with pre-tensioning seatbelts you can be assured that the D-MAX is made stronger and safer for you and your passengers.

n 1983 Volkswagen launched the second Golf generation on the market. It was in this vehicle that the “Golf generation”, as German best-selling author Florian Illies coined the vehicle’s contemporaries, learnt to drive. The fact of the matter is that this Golf also became a worldwide success: by the time it was phased out in 1991, Volkswagen had produced 6.3 million Golf Mk II. Generation Golf now definitely had more space in the Golf. Even though the new Golf generation had become considerably larger, Volkswagen was able to significantly improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics: the Cd value dropped from 0.42 to 0.34. The Golf Mk II set new technical benchmarks in the compact vehicle class.

This vehicle generation saw the introduction of the catalytic converter (1984), anti-lock braking system (ABS, 1986) and power steering. The Golf was also available with allwheel drive for the very first time (syncro, 1986). Additionally, the engine in the GTI was the first Golf engine with four-valve technology (1986). 1988 saw the sporty highlight of the series be released as the Rallye Golf G60, featuring a G-Lader supercharger. In that same year Golf production hit the 10 million mark. In 1990 the all-wheel drive Golf Country also gave us the first taste of modern sport utility vehicles (SUV). From 1991 the Golf Mk II was not only assembled in Wolfsburg, but also at the new Mosel plant near Zwickau (Saxony).

Driver appeal tops the list P

ictured are a pair from the latest, fifth generation Hiace range – the standard size 5265 mm long ZR and the even longer, 5915mm and higher roofed ZX. The big surprise about both versions was just how enjoyable they were to drive in the some 350km I drove in each of them. Of course the Hiace name is so ubiquitous it’s almost the household word for a van. As well, they are either directly or indirectly part of most Kiwis’ daily lives through transporting people, mail ,or stuff, across towns, cities and rural roads. Indeed just about everywhere! You will note their fronts have a very different look and shape, including sprouting a bonnet. For rather than having the van’s traditional engine between the seats as has been the case since the original 1967 models, all these new ones have their 2.8-litre turbo-diesels mounted ahead of the front axle. There are many benefits to this, particularly so regarding safety with all the new models achieving five-star ANCAP ratings, and that is a landmark achievement for the commercial van segment. There’s also much easier access to the cab via the wide opening doors and wide step to the now lower seating position. Where for the driver there’s also much more adjustability and comfort with a lever for the seat height, while the steering has both tilt and reach adjustment. The overall feeling in the Hiace cabin is one of being more like sitting in (and driving as well) a large, quiet SUV, rather

than being perched high up in a van. Even more so with the easy to use and see dash and controls including the coloured 7-inch touchscreen audio unit complete with sat-nav and plenty of other functions. There’s also a 4.2” colour multi information display with a digital speed readout, as well as cruise control. There’s lots of handy-reach, useful storage for both driver and passenger in the wide, long centre console. While you may be sitting lower than previously, there’s also a much better view, both side to side and forward because of the large expanse of glass and the lower belt line. The reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors are particularly helpful. There’s a variety of configurations available for this new ZR. They include the two-seater with full glass windows as driven, a five-seater (2+3) with extra airbags, half glass and solid panels, together with a 10-seat version with full glass, additional speakers and both, rear cooling and heating. The two and five-seaters have dual sliding doors while the 10-seat ZR has a left-hand side sliding door. Meanwhile the cavernous ZX comes with two seats, full glass, and lots of overhead storage in the ceiling above the sun visors. The ZX has one, left-hand side, sliding door. While all have the same 2.8-litre turbo-diesel together with the 6-speed auto as used in the Hilux, there’s also a 6-speed manual option, as was driven, for the two-seater ZR.

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

Maximum power of 130kW is developed at 3400rpm. For those with the 6-speed auto there’s a most usable wave of 450Nm of torque on hand between 1600 and 2400rpm. The 6-speed manuals torque is 420Nm from 1400 to 2600rpm. That’s a significant increase – 30kW and 150Nm (120Nm for manual) more than the previous model produces, which are certainly reflected in eager manner in which these new ones drive. I mention “produces” in the previous paragraph because the previous model indeed continues alongside this new one, but just in two carry-over variants, the ZL two-seat cargo van (in both auto and manual) and also the ZX twelve-seat minibus. The new platform also has a longer wheelbase to match the increased exterior length. The cargo area is larger so that wider stuff such as pallets or sheets of gib board now fit/lie flat between the wheel arches. There’s also an adequate number of well-placed tie-down points. Then the space in the ZX is huge. Mention has previously been made of the five-star ANCAP safety rating. Toyota’s Safety Sense package, which all the new models come with, makes a major

Toyota Hiace

contribution here. It consists of a pre-collision system that has autonomous emergency braking and vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian detection. Also there’s lane departure alert with brake control, vehicle sway warning, trailer sway control, blind spot monitoring, cross traffic alerts and more.

TOYOTA HIACE ZR, ZX ■■ Drive away pricing: (includes all on road costs; WOF, registration, a full tank of fuel, 1000 kms of RUCs, Toyota’s service package, floor mats, and the three years or 100,000 kms warranty). -ZR 5 Door, 2 Seat Manual $44,990 (auto $46,990).

FINALE With this latest Hiace range Toyota has been careful to both keep and improve the core functionality, like great load-carrying ability, versatility and a variety of interior layout configurations. But then also has very clearly been mindful of the importance of adding greater comfort, performance, driver appeal as well, top class safety!

ew for 2020, Triumph’s top specification Street Triple RS gets a major step up in performance from a significant engine update developed by Triumph’s Moto2TM engine team. It features all new more aggressive styling, and has been designed to set the new category benchmark for capability and handling, making this the ultimate performance street bike. And for LAMS license riders, the new Street Triple S is updated with the same new aggressive attitude, poise and styling of the RS model. Adding to its already high level of specification and equipment, the characterful 660cc triple engine, and intuitive, agile and easy handling, makes this the new street champion. Light, fast, fun, agile and stylish – the Street Triple has been a game-changing bike in the motorcycle world since its launch in 2007 with its distinctive character and thrilling triple engine. It redefined the middleweight sports category, establishing itself as the first choice for its combination of aggressive looks, light intuitive handling, thrilling power delivery, and its unique triple soundtrack. Evolving from its renowned 675cc triple to an even more exhilarating 765cc in 2017, the Street Triple RS redefined the category, becoming the lightest bike in class, with all new state-of-theart technology, high specification chassis and Triumph’s signature exceptional standard of finish and detailing. And now, for 2020, the new Street Triple RS has been designed to set the benchmark all over again with a major step up in performance, much more aggressive attitude and even better ride-enhancing technology. Combined with its trademark agile, dynamic handling, and high specification suspension, brakes and tyres, the new Street Triple RS is perfect for the street and the track. For riders looking for an even more accessible way into the Street Triple line up, the new Street Triple S introduces a new LAMS compliant option that also benefits from more aggressive and striking new styling, a high specification of equipment, exceptional low and mid-range performance, and exhilarating handling. For a major step up in performance, the new Street Triple RS benefits from a significant Euro 5 update to its characterful 765cc triple engine, developed by Triumph’s expert Moto2TM engine team. The result is a significant increase in torque, now 9 per cent higher in the midrange, peaking at an even higher 79Nm at 9350rpm. The new exhaust balance pipe smooths the torque curve for exciting, usable torque from low down and across the entire rev range. Power is also up by 9 per cent in the mid-range, peak-

ing at 123PS at 11,750rpm, making the new Street Triple RS a totally addictive ride. Engine updates include a new exhaust cam optimised for more mid-range performance, and new higher precision machining on the crank shaft, clutch and balancer, which lowers inertia and reduces engine mass. The throttle is also now even more responsive on the RS model, as a result of a 7 per cent reduction in rotational inertia, which, combined with the increase in torque across the rev range, delivers a notable improvement in immediacy. There is also a new silencer on the Street Triple RS, which is now freer flowing due to the twin catalyst system, reducing restriction and lowering emissions. It’s finished off beautifully with a premium sporty carbon fibre end cap, which delivers a significantly improved, more distinctive triple sound. This comes from the exhaust system refinements and the all new intake duct, which together improves the crispness and purity of the tone, with a smoother balance between intake and silencer sound.

www.guardianonline.co.nz

The smooth, refined gearbox on the new Street Triple RS has short first and second gear ratios, delivering exceptional acceleration performance and slick gear changes. Higher precision machining also enables the removal of the anti-backlash gears, reducing mass and adding further refinement. Plus, the Street Triple RS retains its high specification slip and assist clutch, for a really light feel, reducing clutch lever effort and improving rider comfort and control. Now with a significant update to their iconic styling, the new Street Triple RS and S have a much more aggressive new look. The LED headlights are all new, with a striking new shape and a sharper and more purposeful style. They are also now whiter and brighter, making them much more conspicuous. The Street Triple RS also features Daytime Running Lights (DRLs – market applicable) which have an all new, even more distinctive design, while the Street Triple S has position lights, which also increase visibility. The new Street Triple RS and S both have all new bodywork, which is more angular, more sporty, and with much cleaner lines. The new fly screen and air intake are now more pronounced, echoing the shape of the new headlights, plus the side panels and rear unit are all new and distinctly different. The Street Triple RS also features a colour coded new seat cowl and belly pan, and a restyled silencer which is more sporty and compact, with a beautiful carbon fibre finisher and Triumph badge branding. Plus, there’s enhanced finish and detailing with new contemporary mirrors on both models, and in addition for the RS model, a new branded handlebar clamp, and more harmonised component finishes, including blacked out control plates and rear footrest hangers, plus satin metal heel guards and silencer finish. And, being the top of the range, the Street Triple RS also has the highest level of finish, now with a new Titanium Silver main frame, matching the finish used on the Speed Triple models. As the lightest bike in its class, the new Street Triple RS has an incredible powerto-weight ratio that is key to its new category leading performance, making this a very agile, exhilarating and accessible bike for all riders. Both the Street Triple RS and S also have the lightest wheels in the class, contributing to their agile feel and precise, engaged handling. The iconic gullwing swingarm on both models delivers torsional stiffness and lateral flexibility. This maximises stability at higher speed, while its optimised pivot position provides more natural resistance to compressing the RSU under hard acceleration. Together these enable tight corner exits and the Street Triple’s precise chassis behaviour.

CHARGED UP I

t was only in September that the new electric sports car from Porsche celebrated its high profile premiere on three continents simultaneously. Now, the company is already presenting the third version of the sports saloon with the Taycan 48. The new model is available with two battery sizes and delivers with the Performance battery up to 390 kW (530 PS) or with the Performance battery Plus up to 420 kW (571 PS). Following the Taycan

TurboS and the Taycan Turbo, the Taycan 48 is therefore the new entry-level model in the series. A single-deck Performance battery with a total capacity of 79.2 kWh comes as standard. The two-deck Performance battery Plus familiar from the Taycan • Latest faceliftTurboS and Taycan Turbo is optionally available. • 15,000km Total capacity here is 93.4 kWh. • 2.8L Turbo Diesel The power output and range therefore vary correspondingly: with the Performance battery, the

Taycan 48 generates up to 390 kW (530 PS) overboost power output. Equipped with the Performance battery Plus, it delivers up to 420 kW (571 PS). In both variants, the Taycan 48 accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. The top speed is 250 km/h in both cases. The range is up to 407 kilometres with the Performance battery and up to 463 kilometres with the Performance battery Plus.

■■COX PLATE

Opie aboard the Shark? NZME The chances of Te Akau Shark making next week’s Cox Plate appear to be increasing but the chances of him retaining jockey James McDonald are heading in the opposite direction. And that could gift New Zealand’s champion jockey Opie Bosson a shot at winning the second of Melbourne’s three great spring races at The Valley in nine days’ time. The field for the A$5 million Cox Plate won’t be finalised until 11am (NZ time) on Tuesday and Te Akau Shark is anything but guaranteed a start. The big Waikato gelding doesn’t have the group one victory that would propel him into the weight-for-age championship, being denied it by some cruel luck in the Epsom in Sydney at his last start. But he does have serious x-factor and punting appeal, which aids his case as the Cox Plate is chosen by the committee of the Moonee Valley Racing Club, rather than on strict ratings or money won. The chances of him making the final 14 guaranteed a start (there are four emergencies as well) improved when the Godolphin pair of Hartnell and Flit were withdrawn yesterday, but New Zealand mare Verry Elleegant became a probable contender after her trackwork gallop at The Valley yesterday morning. Verry Elleegant, who started her career in this country and is still part-owned by New Zealanders, could have been aimed at Saturday’s Caulfield Cup or any number of the rich spring features in Melbourne but she pleased trainer Chris Waller with how she handled the tricky Valley surface. So her connections are now hoping to gain a Cox start and that could leave the Te Akau Shark ride, should he get into the field, up for grabs. James McDonald, who has been Verry Elleegant’s regular rider and won the ATC Oaks on her in April, made a special trip to ride her in work at The Valley before returning to Sydney to

Te Akau Shark pictured with Sharks’ superstar Paul Gallen and jockey Opie Bosson. ride on Wenesday afternoon. That alone was an indication he was likely to opt for her as his Cox Plate ride if she makes the field but there is also the Waller factor, with McDonald riding more and more for the new king of Australian racing. So as much as McDonald also has close ties to Te Akau he looks likely to lean toward Verry Elleegant should she make the Cox. And while Te Akau boss David Ellis is waiting to see how the pieces of that puzzle fall together before any decision is made, he

knows he has a world class rider waiting in the wings for Te Akau Shark, who is the $9 fifth favourite for the Cox Plate, which also might not do his chances of making the field any harm. “We aren’t making any decisions on anything until the picture becomes clearer next week but obviously we have Opie,” says Ellis. “He has a great record on The Shark and in our colours so if the horse makes the race there is a very good chance he could ride him.”

Having already won a Caulfield Cup on Mongolian Khan, a Cox Plate would give Bosson two legs of the Melbourne Triple Crown, with the last leg, the Melbourne Cup, becoming increasingly harder for any Australasian jockey to tick off their list. Meanwhile, one Victorian spring group one ride Bosson is already guaranteed is Melody Belle, who was flown across the Tasman yesterday to be set for the A$1 million Empire Rose Stakes at Flemington on November 2.

Danzdanzdance set for Sydney assignment Danzdanzdance will don new gear and step through a new routine in Sydney tomorrow. The dual Group One winner will race for the first time for new trainer Chris Waller in Saturday’s Gr.3 Craven Plate (2000m) at Randwick. Waller has immediately made changes to the Mastercraftsman five-year-old mare’s gear, opting for a norton bit instead of the lugging bit used in each of Danzdanzdance’s 17 starts so far and

removing her tongue tie. Part-owner Kylie Bax said Waller had tried the gear changes in a 1200m trial at Warwick Farm earlier this month with success. “Chris hadn’t expected her to win the trial so that was an added bonus,” Bax said. “They are really happy with her. Chris has played around with her gear. “He changed from a lugging bit to a norton bit and he’d been considering earmuffs or even just using earmuffs pre-race but in the end has opted against that.

“The trial was to pull it all back to basics and what worked with her. It turned out better than we had hoped for and that will help get her confidence back. Hopefully this week we get an idea about whether the gear changes work and whether her confidence is right back.” Danzdanzdance has proven herself adept on any footing but it’s clear she’s most potent on rain-affected tracks, conditions she is unlikely to strike on Saturday, with a Good4 posted on yesterday.

“Unfortunately the forecast rain hasn’t come,” Bax said. Nash Rawiller will ride Danzdanzdance for the first time with Bax hoping she would settle well midfield for him. “We don’t really know what to expect but all her owners will be over there. We love her and love being there to watch her race,” she said. “It’s really all about what happens on Saturday and then we’ll make a call on what comes next. No doubt Chris has already thought about that and has something up his sleeve.”

Half of Bathurst is headed to the Auckland Inter Dominion. Well that’s a slight exaggeration, but the country NSW town best known for its annual car race will certainly be punching above its weight at Alexandra Park with a probable five representatives in the series starting on November 29. Steve Turnbull, already an Inter Dominion winner with Smooth Satin, has three of his stable stars booked on a flight to NZ next month. “Conviction, Atomic Red and Courtsinsession are all on that flight at this stage,” Turnbull said. “Maybe they are a step below the very best ones, but I’m really happy with them all and they deserve a crack at it.” Turnbull’s daughter, Amanda, is adding to the family raid with her classy pacer Ellmers Image making the trip across as well. But it could be a non-Turnbull who represents Bathurst’s best hope in the series through Chris and Anthony Frisby’s Our Uncle Sam, runner-up to Tiger Tara in last year’s Melbourne Inter Dominion final. Our Uncle Sam returned from a spell at Bathurst on Wednesday and won’t race again before crossing the Tasman to chase the NZ Cup ahead of the Inter Dominion. But Ellmers Image, Conviction, Atomic Red and Courtsinsession will only target Auckland. “Conviction won well in quick time first-up at Eugowra and runs at Menangle Saturday night, while Atomic Red and Courtsinsession have come up really well,” Steve Turnbull said from Bathurst trots on Wednesday night. “Atomic Red would be the best of ours, but he has this condition where he’s been continually growing bone chips and needing them removed. “About five months ago we were told he’d stabilised, so we’ve brought him back and he seems great through the trials.” Amanda Turnbull said Ellmers Image would trial Monday. “He won the consolation in last year’s Melbourne series and I think it was the making of him, he won some nice races really well afterwards,” she said. “After this trial, I’ll find a race for him then get him ready for the trip across,” she said.

Bender misses out

Wallabies’ massive gamble

NZME

■■RUGBY

The All Blacks have sprung few surprises in their line-up to play Ireland in their Rugby World Cup quarter-final on Saturday. As expected, Brodie Retallick starts despite only playing 30 minutes at the World Cup so far, while Jack Goodhue gets the nod ahead of Ryan Crotty and Sonny Bill Williams despite a similar lack of gametime. Richie Mo’unga starts at firstfive with Beauden Barrett at fullback as the All Blacks retain their dual playmaking options, while Codie Taylor is perhaps the one slight surprise in the starting XV, edging out Dane Coles for the

starting hooker berth. On the bench, Jordie Barrett is selected ahead of Ben Smith as the utility back option. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen explained his side. “We feel we’ve selected a great mixture of talent in our 23, who are in great form, and the squad includes many players who have a lot of Rugby World Cup knockout match experience. “Together with our experienced management team, that brings a deep understanding of what is needed to get the job done. “There’s a lot of energy and excitement in the team which is normal for this stage of the tour-

nament where the winner takes all. It will add extra pressure to both sides. “Past Rugby World Cup history is important because of the positive or negative experiences you’ve had. “But ultimately it is what happens on the day that counts.” Hansen added that all 31 players had been fit and available for selection, which was an added bonus in this stage of the tournament. “This is a great reflection on the players themselves and the staff who have done a great job getting them through the pool play phase of the tournament. “We are very happy where the

team is at at this stage and it feels like the team is right where it needs to be for what will be a physical and fiercely-fought encounter.”

ALL BLACKS Beauden Barrett, Sevu Reece, Jack Goodhue, Anton Lienert-Brown, George Bridge, Richie Mo’unga, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Sam Cane, Ardie Savea, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Nepo Laulala, Codie Taylor, Joe Moody. Reserves: Dane Coles, Ofa Tuungafasi, Angus Ta’avao, Scott Barrett, Matt Todd, TJ Perenara, Sonny Bill Williams, Jordie Barrett.

Slight distraction for Hansen tomorrow Steve Hansen’s nerves will be at an all-time high on Saturday. And not just because the All Blacks will be preparing to face the Irish in a do-or-die Rugby World Cup quarter-final clash. Hansen – a long-time horse racing fan, owner and even breeder – will be glued to the

TV in Japan when Nature Strip, a thoroughbred the All Blacks coach part-owns, runs in one of the richest races in the world. The Everest, a $14 million sprint race, will take place tomorrow a few hours prior to kick-off. When asked which would be more important, the All Blacks

or Nature Strip, Hansen replied wryly: “The one you have some control over. There’s not a lot I can do. I can’t ride him [Nature Strip] or carry him.” Kiwi-born Chris Waller, one of the leading trainers in the world, will team up with jockey Tim Clark, who will ride Nature Strip.

A proud All Blacks supporter, Waller said he was straight on the phone to Hansen last month after Nature Strip won the $1m Moir Stakes. “How’s my rugby team?” Waller fired back before a quick catchup left them both confident their champions were in safe hands.

Michael Cheika isn’t concerned about inexperience in selecting the Wallabies side to contest their Rugby World Cup quarter-final against England this weekend, with twotest youngster Jordan Petaia set to be given the nod. Fox Sports reports Petaia, 19, will replace James O’Connor at centre for the do-or-die encounter in what will be his first run in the midfield at test level. It was described by the publication as “the biggest selection bombshell in Australian World Cup history”. In his two previous tests, both of which were during the World Cup, Petaia has played on the wing. He featured in 11 Super Rugby games for the Reds this year in an injury-riddled campaign. Fox Sports reports selectors had originally hoped to trial Petaia at 13 earlier in the World Cup but a hamstring injury on the eve of the tournament put a halt to those plans. Petaia will more than likely find himself squaring off against English star Manu Tuilagi, with Reece Hodge expected to be recalled to the right wing, while Kurtley Beale is set to be named at fullback but must still be cleared in concussion protocols.

The rush defence ‘all sorted’ NZME

Young athletes hit the track Beau Kirwan has his eyes firmly set on the track in front of him during the opening night of the Ashburton Athletics Club’s season on Wednesday night. Athletics for kids takes place every Wednesday night from 5.30pm, and it’s open to all kids aged five to 18 keen to give track or field a shot. The club also takes part in a number of events during the season, including the Colgate Games – which are this season being held at Nga Puna Wai in Christchurch – and the annual Arthur Cup day, which will be held in Ashburton on November 3.

Heading into the Rugby World Cup, there were questions raised about the best way to handle a rush defence. Now, the World Cup has become a spectacle of how to do exactly that. From the All Blacks’ kicking display against the Springboks to Fiji’s free running performance against Wales, the puzzle of rush defences has seemingly been solved. For former All Blacks No.10 Stephen Donald, that comes as a relief. “It’s just highlighted that yes you can have the rush defence and all the rest of it, but I think all of a sudden the attack coaches or whoever it is that’s doing it for these teams has come up with plans to beat it which is great,” Donald said. “We don’t just want to see suffocating defence win a World Cup, so I think the attack side of things has been brilliant.” The All Blacks, who had been susceptible to rush defences in the lead up to the World Cup, go into their quarter-final match this weekend against Ireland having shown they’ve learnt how to overcome the pressure. By the time Saturday night’s game rolls around it will have been just shy of two weeks since the All Blacks’ last match, after their scheduled pool game against Italy was cancelled due to Typhoon Hagibis. Donald said it wouldn’t hurt the All Blacks in any way.

Japan’s fairytale footy tournament about to end By Buck Shelford

he pleasantries are out of the way and it’s time for the real Rugby World Cup to start – lose and you’ll have to wait another four years for a tilt at the Webb Ellis trophy. And, say what you like about the Irish and their recent form, they possess the firepower to knock the All Blacks out. There’s no doubt in my mind that the All Blacks would have preferred a quarter-final meeting with Japan or Scotland. Yes, you want to play the best en route to the final but if you have an opportunity to avoid some of the tougher sides early on, you embrace it. That said, the cancellation of the All Blacks’ final pool match against Italy because of Typhoon Hagibis could be both a blessing and a curse. The players and management would have welcomed the opportunity to recover from what has been a long season and the scrutiny and rigours associated with

being considered the favourites at the World Cup. The non-start also meant that some key men wouldn’t have had the game time they wanted ahead of the do-or-die clash. Brodie Retallick, in particular, would have welcomed at least another 40 minutes on the pitch after spending months sidelined due to injury, while we also haven’t seen enough of Jack Goodhue (or his budding midfield partnership with Anton Lienert-Brown) in Japan. Cancelling the game was the right call and the All Blacks would have dealt with the lack of contact by roughing each other up in training sessions, in preparation of the expected Irish onslaught. Joe Schmidt’s team will be physical as always but if that’s what they will rely on – beating up the All Blacks – they’ll be found wanting. Very few teams in world rugby – if any – can outmuscle us up front and we saw that in the first pool match against South Africa. What we don’t want is to give

the Irish an early sniff, allow them to build a lead and then control the pace of the game. We need to start well, rattle them early and not let them recover. Schmidt is a clever coach and he will have a few tricks up his sleeve, but World Cup knockout pressure can be suffocating and is hardly the best ground for experimentation. Besides, the All Blacks coaching staff have proven time and again that there’s more to them than relying on brute strength in tight contests – we outfoxed the Springboks strategically by playing a lot of rugby behind the gain line in an attempt to draw them out of their defensive shape and strike on the counter-attack. I expect the All Blacks to face England in the semi-final, as I can’t see the Wallabies getting close to Eddie Jones’ men. Of the remaining teams, the English worry me most – they’ve been uncharacteristically quiet this tournament. Unlike in previous campaigns,

Eddie Jones there haven’t been any off-field dramas and with the exception of Jones, they’ve stayed out of the headlines. The fact that they’ve kept their mouths shut, tells me the English are more focused than ever before. They want to win this World Cup badly. And they can do it, too. The Wales v France clash is probably the hardest to call. Warren Gatland is a good mate of mine and while some part of me would like to see him do well, I would not be at all surprised if the French get their act together for the first time in this tournament.

They seem to be at their best when there’s infighting and turmoil in the camp and, if reports are to be believed, there has been plenty of that over the past weeks. One thing Kiwis know by now is that you never write off the French at a World Cup. I reckon an upset is on the cards in Oita. I can’t see a similar surprise in the quarter-final between the Springboks and Japan. The Japanese had the element of surprise in Brighton in 2015 but this time everyone is aware of the threat they pose. Japan have had a remarkable rise in world rugby over the past four years and to see them lift themselves up against Scotland with the Hagibis devastation all around them, will go down as one of the most special World Cup memories of all time. What they’ve achieved over the past four weeks has been nothing short of a sporting fairytale but as much as I would love for them to beat the Boks again, I believe that fairytale is about to end.

Life after Westbrook for Thunder AP

Social netball on the rise Mid Canterbury Netball’s ever-popular summer league social netball competition got under way at the EA Networks Centre on Wednesday night. This year it’s attracted 40 teams, with more teams on the waiting list, and each week they’ll battle it out in social, social competitive, and business house competitions. Among those hitting the court on opening night was Emma Smith, whose McIntosh Group team went up against AWF in the social competitive grade. PHOTO ERIN TASKER 161019-ET-0012

No one knew. Russell Westbrook had a chance to put the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead in the final moments of Game 6 of their Western Conference first-round series against Portland. He tried a layup with 18 seconds left. It missed. No one knew that was the 17,350th and final shot he would take as a Thunder player, the last time he would touch the ball in an Oklahoma City uniform, the end of a storied 11-year run that – when factoring in both regular-season and postseason games – saw him score more points than anyone else in franchise history. A new day has arrived in Oklahoma City. The Thunder – one of only two teams to have a better-than-.500 record in each of the last 10 seasons, San Antonio being the other – have pushed the reset button. Westbrook is gone to rejoin James Harden in Houston, Paul George has taken his still-unfulfilled pursuit of a championship to the Los Angeles Clippers, and Oklahoma City is thinking about the future. “We’re still 100 per cent focused on building the most sustainable path for an elite team in Oklahoma City, realising that that’s something that eventually we’re going to embark on, but we’re not at that point yet,” Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. “And we think that this season is one that we should really dive into and experience.”

■■NETBALL

Diamonds turn to Richie for inspiration The Australian netball coach Lisa Alexander has credited an All Black legend for helping them to victory in the second game of the Constellation Cup series against the Silver Ferns in Auckland. Alexander was able to celebrate her 100th test in charge of the Diamonds with a 48-42 win that levels the four game series. Alexander wanted to do something a bit different in the build-up to the game and revealed the Diamonds got a bit of inspiration from a former All Blacks captain. “Don’t tell them, but we had a look at Richie McCaw’s movie we had a little clip of that when he talks about the moments and when the forensic psychiatrist talks about how we worked with Richie and we were very struck by that by how very inspirational that is.” The Ferns had edged Australia in their previous two clashes, including a heartbreaking one-goal loss in the World Cup final. Those defeats, and the magnitude of Alexander’s personal milestone, prompted a switch-up.

“I actually threw out the script to my pre-game,” Alexander said. “And they were all looking at me. Especially C-Bass (captain Caitlin Bassett) as she’s seen every one. I did something different because I wanted to demonstrate to the players that they needed to be brave out there and I had to be brave too.” Alexander took the tone down. “I didn’t want the players thinking ‘Oh we have to play well for Lisa’. No,” she said. “You have to play well, because it’s important for Australia. “That’s very heartfelt to me because I didn’t play for Australia so I want them to make sure they take every opportunity to put everything into every match. “So I did a poem in the rooms and I did a meditation ... a breathing technique and centering. “Just talking about a few things that are really positive, because that’s what you have to get you have to get that positive mindset to perform. “And we actually were inspired by that, Richie McCaw’s movie. You know how inspirational that is to us.”

The motivations certainly worked. Gretel Tippett was an all-action goal attack, ably supported by Bassett and Tegan Philip, while Courtney Bruce was the star of the showdown with five intercepts. The series now heads to Australia for two matches with the Cup on the Diamonds’ terms. “We’ve put ourselves into a great position for this for the rest of the series,” Alexander said. “We can go home and land and feel like winners.” The Silver Ferns failed to execute the performance they desperately desired. Stuck in catch-up mode from the first centre pass, the Ferns struggled to get the upper hand over a polished Diamonds side. Shooters Maria Folau and Ameliaranne Ekenasio had their work cut out for them in the circle, with the Australians displaying tighter defence on the pair. “It was really physical out there and I thought in our attacking end we got caught running side to side and probably didn’t get enough penetration onto the circle edge, not as much as we did on the first test,” Taurua said after the game. Maria Folau lines up another shot.

Putting for a good cause

A capacity field of 144 golfers filled the fairways of the Ashburton Golf Course for the annual Lions Club of Ashburton Charity Golf Tournament. Golfers with and without handicaps duked it out in fine conditions with prizes for longest putt and nearest to the pin. The tournament has been held for around 25 years, with last year’s edition having to be postponed due to poor weather.

■■GOLF

Rule change proves costly

Tough test for Ryan Fox

NZME

■■GOLF

The rules have changed since Lee Ann Walker last played competitive golf. She found out the hard way. Walker shot rounds of 85 and 74 at the Senior LPGA Championship at French Lick Resort in Indiana. That was before she realised players no longer can putt when their caddies have been standing directly behind them. She had to add 42 penalty shots to her first round, turning that into a 127, and 16 more penalty shots for the second round, turning that into a 90. It left Walker contemplating a consolation prize. “I may have made the Guinness Book of World Records,” she said yesterday on her drive home to North Carolina, where she works in the real estate industry. That wasn’t the idea when she decided to play in the Senior LPGA. Walker, who split time between the LPGA Tour and Symetra Tour, thought it would be fun to compete.

She had heard French Lick was a beautiful course. And it would allow her to catch up with friends. But she’s not involved in tournament golf – her last full season on the LPGA Tour was in 2008 – and the sport went through the most comprehensive overhaul of the Rules of Golf, effective this year. One that caused the most problems on tour was caddie alignment, Rule 10.2b. Caddies no longer can stand behind players as they prepare to hit a shot unless players back away after the caddie is no longer behind them. Walker knew to take penalty drops from knee level. She just didn’t know the caddie rule. “When I played my first round, my caddie lined me up and I did not reset,” she said. “I did not realise I was violating any rules.” She played the first round with Jackie Gallagher-Smith and Cathy Johnson-Forbes and said neither noticed her mistake. The second round, she played

Lee Ann Walker with Laura Baugh and Laura Shanahan Rowe. They did. “They made me aware of it on 14 or 15, and I called a rules official to ask what to do,” she said. “They had me continue playing so they could have a conference on the violation and what I needed to do.” Most amazing about this bizarre episode is that Walker could remember which holes and how many times her caddie was behind her without her starting the process over. She had 21 violations the first round – each penalty is two shots – and eight in the second round before she was aware of her mis-

take. Without the penalties, Walker would have missed the cut by one shot. “What can you do at that point?” Walker said. “It was my fault for not knowing the rules. I don’t have anyone to blame but myself. Big lesson learned.” Thanks to another new rule, her scores of 127-90 were in the books. Previously, once she realised she should have added penalty strokes, Walker would have been disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. In this case, she finished. And she added every score on every hole. The scorecard from the first round featured six 9s, an 8 and four 7s. She also had a 4 – a birdie on the 18th hole. “Because it was a DQ and I wasn’t injured – I wasn’t going to withdraw with an injury – that was my score, and everyone gets to see it,” Walker said. “I’m glad I went. “It was a great golf course, great event,” she said. “Everything was great except for my penalties.”

New Zealand’s top-ranked golfer Ryan Fox returns to the venue of last year’s Ryder Cup to begin his push to qualify for the European Tour season-ending Dubai World Championships. Fox teed off this morning at the Open De France outside Paris, played on the Le Golf National course where Europe completed a stunning win over the United States in the Ryder Cup in September last year. “It is one of the toughest tests of golf you can have and probably the strongest closing stretch of holes I’ve ever played,” Fox said. The Kiwi has had a tough season after winning his maiden Tour title at the IPS Handa World Super 6 in Perth in February. He has missed eight cuts including six in a row before returning to form with his best result in a major, tied for 16th at the British Open in July. He is coming off a tie for 18th at the Italian Open last weekend. Fox is ranked 128th in the world and 55th on the European Race to Dubai standings.

Women see new contracts Eight domestic women have been offered the very first NZC Women’s Development Contracts for the 2019-20 season following last month’s Women’s Master Agreement announcement. The contracts give the NZC High Performance coaches a chance to work with the next generation of female cricketers and learn more about their all-round abilities and future potential. NZC GM High Performance Bryan Stronach said the ability to grow and develop talent is crucial to the high performance programme and goes a long way to ensuring long-term success at the top level. “We’ve got an opportunity to create a bespoke programme for these players, however the contracts are not necessarily for

players who are ‘next in line’ to play for the White Ferns,” Stronach said. “This particular lot of contracts are for players we have identified as having talent we want to work with and discover more about,” he said. The eight players selected will receive financial support and will be required to attend extra camps with access to additional support in delivering their performance plans. Women’s Development Contracts: Skye Bowden (Auckland Hearts) Natalie Dodd (Central Hinds) Arlene Kelly (Auckland Hearts) Jess Kerr (Wellington Blaze) Natasha van Tilburg (Auckland Hearts) Saachi Shahri (Auckland Hearts) Jess Simmons (Canterbury Magicians) Jess Watkin (Central Hinds)

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If it’s difficult to find things to appreciate in those around you, then you might be in the wrong crowd. There is no good reason you shouldn’t be around people whose qualities you admire. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Get some altitude. Once you see a problem from the top, you’ll know how to solve it. But you can’t do it from there. You have to go back down and solve it on the ground. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Life is messy. So when you embrace life, don’t be surprised when you come away with a few stains on your shirt. This is just evidence that life embraced you back. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Those who act the most confident may be the most insecure. The truly secure don’t usually see the point in drawing attention to themselves, as they’re too busy just doing what comes naturally. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): A secret is a powerful thing that has an impact. Keep it to yourself with a sparkle in your eye and its impact is charismatic. Keep it to yourself with shame and its impact is a gravitational pull on your spirit. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Instead of trying to force yourself to be nicer, find more reasons to be cheerful. And when you succumb to negativity, you’ll find reasons to be there, too. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Get in the mix however you can – as a volunteer, an intern or just as an unqualified person doing a job for free. Even if you mess up a lot, you’ll be better off than you would be paying for a class or experience. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Focus your attention on the one area of your life that, if changed, would favourably touch every other area of your life. Tonight will be a particularly fantastic time for introspection and planning. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You know what you want, and you’ve committed, but when it’s time to actually put this in motion, your brain will object with the most interesting excuses. Don’t give it the chance. Act first; think later. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A sentimental mood makes the passage of time a little blurry. And, if so inclined, you’ll find that you can move fluidly to a feeling you had in the distant past. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You feel it’s not as important to air your feelings as it is to reconcile them within yourself, much will depend on your company. Only your nearest and dearest will get the full picture and only in small doses. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Repairs will be necessary. Don’t waste time with amateurs. Likely, this is beyond your scope of expertise, and you probably don’t have the tools to do it the right way. Use the best professional you can afford.

GEAR

The summer cycling season in Mid Canterbury is hitting top gear this week. Three weeks after the Tinwald Cycling Club’s Sunday afternoon road cycling programme kicked off for the 2019/20 season, the club’s mid-week series got under way on Wednesday night, and to-

night that will be followed by the club’s first night at the track. Wednesday nights in the summer see cyclists converge on Fords Road for a mid-week sharpener known as Jimmy’s race, and it’s a 10-mile handicap with registration from 6pm, ready for a 6.30pm start.

Brad Hudson leads the way round a bend during the Tinwald Cycling Club’s Wednesday evening race. PHOTO ERIN TASKER 161019-ET-0054 Tonight, it’s the turn of Whizz Wheelers at the club’s Maronan Road velodrome – a weekly session which caters from everyone to kids on their balance bikes through to the more experienced

riders. Anyone who is keen to give it a go needs to register by 5.45pm to be ready for a 6pm start. Then on Sunday it’s back to the club’s road racing programme, where riders will head to Daw-

sons Road to contest the Tinwald Club Cups. The main race will be a 45km handicap race for seniors, while division two and under-17s will tackle a 15km route.
