Positive weekend for Sprague
A fourth generation Timaru racing driver is continuing to push the limits in search of national glory. Corban Sprague, 18, is competing in the Toyota TR86 Trophy Series after securing a seat in the CareVets car via a scholarship. After a successful first round outing in May, he returned to the track late last month for round two in Taupō. Sprague immediately showed off his skills picking up P1, P3 and P2 in the three practice sessions ahead of qualifying. After qualifying fifth, he battled away to pick up fourth place in both main races and now also sits fourth in the overall series standings with two rounds to go. Sprague said it was another positive weekend. "It wasn't the overall result I had hoped for but I think we showed some great signs heading into the next couple of rounds. There were some great lessons learnt, obviously I want to be winning but it's still great learning. "Practice went really well, we rolled out off the trailer and the car was really fast. "In qualifying, we all go out on a new set of tyres and I just didn't maximise that new tyre as well as everyone else which sort of cost me for the races. "We had really good speed in the races, being one of the fastest, but with the cars being identical, if you don't qualify well it makes it really hard to pass. I put myself in that bad place, I've learned from it and I'll make sure I'm not doing it again." He said it was his first time racing on the big track at the Taupō International Motorsport Park. "I've driven around the smaller track, but that was my first time on the big track, I really enjoyed it. "It's quite a big, long track compared to what I'm used to. "It flowed really well and it's got quite a bit of undulation, so I really enjoyed it in the Toyota 86." After previously racing in the Mazda Pro 8 New Zealand series, the Toyota car was still taking a little bit to adjust to, he said. "It's taken a bit more than I would have liked to be honest. It's very different to the Mazda, so I'm having to try and get all my bad habits I learnt in it out and concentrate on the good things in the 86. "I'm starting to, and more mileage helps me get closer to where I like to be in it. "There's still a couple of thing I need to improve on, but it's all looking promising." Sprague will turn his attention to Manfeild next weekend for round three and said it was a track he was very much looking forward to racing on. "I've driven around there once but I've never raced it. I had a good first impression of the track. "It's quite an old school track, like Levels raceway, which I'm used to. It's a real flowy, high-commitment track which I'm really looking forward to. "The goal is always to battle out for wins and podiums, so I've just got to execute in qualifying and the other areas and hopefully we'll be able to do that." The action at Manfeild will take place on July 5-6 before a return to Taupō for the final round on July 26-27.

Lindsay Clancy's testing by government experts to be streamed live for defense but not recorded, prosecutor says
'They're fine with recording the interviews of the defendant,' Sprague said. 'However, regarding the testing, there are copyright issues. So ... their request is that there be a live feed that counsel have access to, where we can observe the testing, but that it wouldn't be recorded due to copyright issues.' It wasn't immediately clear what the testing will entail. Advertisement 'I would have no objection to the defense experts viewing that live feed as well,' Sprague said. Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, appearing remotely via Zoom, requested the parties return for an August hearing to 'just to talk about this ... issue with the live feeds, recordings.' Judge William F. Sullivan set the next hearing date for Aug. 25.

Clancy, 34, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder for the Jan. 24, 2023, slayings of her daughter Advertisement The defense has said it Should she be found not guilty by reason of insanity, Clancy would be sent to a state psychiatric hospital where she'd come up for periodic reviews to determine whether she could be released. Under that scenario, she could remain hospitalized for the remainder of her life.

Sprague Operating Resources Awarded Renewable Diesel Supply Contract for New York City Ferry System
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sprague Operating Resources LLC ("Sprague"), a leading provider of energy and materials handling services across the Northeast, today announced it has been selected by the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to supply renewable diesel (RD) for its marine fleet, including the iconic Staten Island Ferry. This significant contract marks a major step in New York City's plan, announced in October 2024, to transition its marine vessels to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emission fuels. "We are incredibly proud to partner with New York City and DCAS on this critical initiative," said David Glendon, Chairman at Sprague. "Supplying renewable diesel for the city's ferry fleet aligns perfectly with Sprague's long-standing commitment to providing sustainable and renewable energy solutions. This contract is a testament to our team's capabilities and our shared vision with the city of New York." RD is produced from renewable sources such as used cooking oil and waste fats that are refined to be chemically identical to traditional fossil-fuel diesel, so it can be used in existing diesel engines and infrastructure, like those on the Staten Island Ferry system. By changing their fuels to RD, the busiest municipal ferry system in the Nation will immediately lower lifecycle GHG emissions (up to 60 percent) as it carries over 24 million passengers each year. "We congratulate Sprague and are excited to partner with them on this exciting initiative for New York City," said Neal Sahni, General Manager of St. Bernard Renewables (a joint venture between PBF Energy and Enilive).
