MPI refutes farmer’s claims Dear editor, MPI response to: ‘Dairy farmer’s bills mounting up to millions’ I was concerned and surprised to read a story in the Ashburton Guardian earlier in the week with the heading: ‘Dairy farmer’s bills mounting up to millions’. The story included comments made by an Ashburton farmer affected by the mycoplasma bovis response. While I appreciate this is a challenging time for all affected farmers, it is also important the public is presented with accurate information when affected farmers choose to talk to media about their individual circumstances. In the story, the farmer says he has not been paid any compensation by MPI. He also says MPI has not paid any of his farm’s feeding bills for about four months and that he has spent $160,000 on feeding during the last five weeks. This is not true. For privacy reasons we are limited in what we can say about this individual farmer’s case or his compensations claims. However, it is important to note, to date, this farmer has been paid substantial feed costs by MPI. This includes MPI paying the majority of the feed bill he mentions. We will likely make further payments to this farmer in the near future.

Last week The Guardian told of the plight of local dairy farmer, Matt Walker and his dealings with MPI around compensation following mycoplasma bovis. As a response to that story, MPI’s Geoff Gwyn has written the following letter to the editor which has been then responded to by Walker. I would also point out this farmer’s stock compensation claim was only received by MPI last week, a few days before he spoke with the Ashburton Guardian. Farmers can be assured, if they submit complete compensation forms with proof of losses, they will receive a decision from MPI as soon as possible. A substantial part of a farmer’s compensation claim for culled cows should take four to 10 days, with a fully verified claim taking two to three weeks. Since May we have doubled our compensation team to 40 people and brought the average time for paying a claim from 100 days to about 20. In addition, the Prime Minister recently announced a new compensation assistance service which is staffed by the dairy and beef industries. They can sit alongside farmers and help them prepare their claims. I will be meeting with affected farmers in Ashburton next week

and am happy to speak to this farmer about his concerns then. Yours sincerely, Geoff Gwyn Director of readiness and response

Dear editor, I write in response to Geoff Gwyn’s (MPI director of readiness and response) letter to the editor: The article featured in the Guardian on October 27, 2018, was written in conjunction with Minister [Damien] O’Connor’s article on the same day. It is disappointing that Mr Gwyn has not contacted us directly, instead choosing to write to the Guardian. With respect to the comments made by Mr Gwyn, we strongly refute that feed invoices and compensation claims were paid to us in the timely manner, as has been suggested. Our company had not received payment of any response cost or compensation claim, up until October 31, 2018. Despite some

claims having been submitted since July 20, 2018. The meeting held in Ashburton for affected farmers, that myself and other affected farmers helped arrange with the Rural Support Trust, clearly demonstrated that other farmers were also encountering similar claim issues that we are. It was commonplace for claims, some up to five months old, were not yet paid at the time of the meeting. The contractors that we work with had been waiting to be paid for feed supplies, so we escalated these matters to Roger Smith and were granted a meeting with Mr Gwyn. Some of those invoices are over three months old. We are able to supply copies of these invoices, but we would assume these have been viewed by Mr Gwyn as he has advised that he approves the payment of response costs. Over the past five weeks we have accumulated feed costs, estimated to be $160,000, for 900 animals in a feedlot situation (as directed

to do so by MPI and which is not normal farm practice) because MPI stated on August 6, 2018, that the animals would be eradicated by mid-August and to date, all animals remain on-farm. This situation is causing a lot of emotional distress to those staff members that are tending to those animals as they await culling. As Mr Gwyn has stated that a substantial part of a farmer’s compensation claim for culled cows should be paid within four to 10 days, if this is correct, we should be receiving that in very short order – so we will keep you fully informed as to the outcome. As Mr Gwyn is coming to the Ashburton region next week, I would like to hear from anyone that is having similar issues so that we can make sure they are raised with Mr Gwyn and MPI during their visit. Please contact the Guardian or Rural Support Trust and they can pass on my details. Matt Walker

We need to take climate change seriously BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton needs to get serious about planning for life in a district that will be impacted by climate change, says Ashburton District councillor Selwyn Price. The district was way behind the rest of New Zealand when it came to getting its head around the issue and planning for change and that had everything to do with governance, he said. “The majority around the table tend to oppose anything with the words climate change in it but until we acknowledge that the weather we experience and will continue to experience will be impacted by climate change, we won’t do anything.” There needed to be a significant attitudinal change around the council table, Price said. “The only thing we’ve done is around reducing solid waste. Compared to other councils around the country our performance is pretty poor.” A local government climate change declaration was signed by almost every local authority around New Zealand, but the majority of Ashburton’s councillors voted not to add the district to the list. Price last month attended the local government climate change symposium in Wellington and said it was clear Ashburton was out of step with other local authorities. It lagged behind measures taken in other parts of the country and New Zealand as a whole was well behind measures taken in many parts of the world, he said.

Selwyn Price “We need to understand this, to read the science and believe the science.” Neil Brown suggested that the impact of climate change in Mid Canterbury might not be significant – temperature change of less than one degree and rainfall that might be more or less frequent. “Farmers are doing something out there, what are people in town doing, do they need to do something? No, it seems they don’t,” he said. Ashburton needed to focus on what needed to be done in the district, not what the country needed to do, Brown said. “We decided not to sign the national declaration because we wanted to develop one of our own.” Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel believes climate change action is needed and she was keen to see the council sign the local government declaration. “We live on this planet, not just in the Ashburton District and we’ll be affected by what’s going on around us. Advocacy is part of our role,” she said. Work on the council’s climate change policy has yet to start.

High-achieving siblings BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

There’s been some serious cheering in the Cayanan household in Ashburton this week. Eighteen-year-old Chrizia was named Ashburton College dux on Wednesday night at the Year 13 prizegiving and her brother Carl, 17, was named deputy head boy on Thursday at the Year 12 prizegiving. The family came to Mid Canterbury from the Philippines in 2012 and Chrizia said mum Christina and dad Christopher, a motor mechanic at Honda Country, were very proud of what they’d achieved. Chrizia was top student in physics, stats and accounting and scored highly in her other subjects to become dux ahead of the proxime accessit Artem Kravchenko. She was also awarded several scholarships. Chrizia is heading to the University of Canterbury next year and has plans to be a secondary school maths teacher. She will

be studying towards a Bachelor of Science, majoring in maths. She said she had wanted to be a maths teacher since she was a young child and loved working with numbers. She also excelled in German and was one of two Ashcoll students to attend a scholarship language school in Germany last summer holidays. Chrizia said she had worked hard over the years on her school work but also found time to be a member of the Ashburton Youth Council and hold down part-time jobs at a supermarket and berry farm. The siblings have encouraged each other too, though they have different talents. “I am the brains and he is the people person,” she says with a laugh. Teachers have also provided plenty of support and she names German teacher Ken Pow and accounting teacher Claire Bedward as her favourites. She and Pow are competitive

chess players. Chrizia said her focus now was on exams, with calculus and accounting first up on November 13. At the Year 12 prizegiving, the school’s 2019 leaders were named – head students are Mollie Gibson and William Wallis, with Harriet Stock and Carl Cayanan as deputies. Principal Ross Preece said 10 girls and 13 boys put their hand up for consideration and the final four were chosen after an intense selection process. “There were some quality candidates who didn’t make the short list and some quality candidates who were not chosen.” He said the school had been well served by this year’s student executive, who were on hand as the head students’ names were revealed. Naming deputies, which happened for the first time this year, had been successful and the four had shared the roles well, he said.

■ WORLD SANDWICH DAY

Going where no Ashburton mayor’s gone before BY SUE NEWMAN

Left – Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel doing double duty as a Subway sandwich maker as she helps Ashburton win top sub maker branch for World Sandwich Day.

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s mayor Donna Favel stepped into new mayoral territory yesterday when she became sandwich maker for an hour. She went where no mayor has gone before, behind the counter at Ashburton’s Subway where she joined the sub production line, taking orders, filling rolls and filling hungry lunchtime tummies for locals and travellers. Favel was taking part in the World Sandwich Day celebrations and decided to get behind the counter at Subway to support the franchise’s fundraiser – buy one sub, get one sub free and a meal is donated to charity. A self-confessed subway fan, Favel said her favourite lunch bite is a vege pattie version. Her reason for doing a turn behind the counter was simple – owner Tony Corbett asked and she said yes. Ashburton is part of a worldwide effort to make a record number of subs on one day with the incentive for buyers – pay for one and get one free. Last year Ashburton topped the country on 1600 subs for the day; this year Corbett reckons they’ll well and truly top that. “This year we’ll rock that. But that’s good old Ashburton,” he said.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 011118-SN-186

Money from the sub making effort is donated to a meal charity. Last year New Zealand raised enough money for 90,000 charity meals; this year the target is to top

100,000 charity meals. Favel’s stint as a sandwich maker was just one more entry on a mayoral calendar that some days is log-jammed

with events. Where other mayors have been busy, Favel is clearly going above and beyond the call of duty in giving her time to public events.

At each meeting of the Ashburton District Council, she lists the meetings and events she’s attended. The numbers are huge. She leaves other mayors in the dust. Between September 10 and October 22, 42 days, Favel attended community events, went to meetings and took part in civic occasions on all but five days. On many of the 37 days she was out and about in the community, she attended four events, with a record of five on September 27, On that day she visited the Chinese heritage site with Heritage New Zealand representatives, met with MPI representatives, attended a farewell function at Federated Farmers and went to the Mt Somers District Citizens’ Association AGM. Two other meetings on that day were attended on her behalf by deputy mayor Neil Brown and councillor Stuart Wilson. Her busy calendar included out-of-town conferences and meetings, hosting official functions around the district, opening events and attending many community functions.

■ DRIVER SAFETY

Be safe on our roads this summer BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hinds fire chief Dave Kingsbury has a message for his community: Be safe on the roads this summer – he doesn’t want to find locals injured or dead. Volunteer firefighters headed out about 1am yesterday to a crash on Isleworth Road. A local man had lost control of his car as he was driving east

towards the coast; the vehicle crossed the centre line and ended up in a hedge on the other side of the road. Kingsbury said firefighters had been preparing to use cutting equipment to remove the driver, but he extracted himself and was treated by ambulance officers. He said the fire crew had approached the scene with a degree of trepidation.

“You hold your breath when it’s a crash on a local road. If it’s on State Highway 1, chances are it is not going to be one of your mates. But if it’s on a side road, there’s a big possibility you’ll know who they are.” Kingsbury said it was important people in the Hinds community be safe on the roads this summer and that included making plans to get home if they were drinking

and driving to the conditions. He said Isleworth Road had areas where the surface had been repeatedly patched and drivers needed to take care. Technology and the latest model vehicles also offered no protection, “People still get hurt.” Since the start of July, the Hinds unit has attended 16 call-outs, 12 involving motor vehicle accidents. The crew attended a double

fatality at Ealing three weeks ago when two vehicles collided on State Highway 1. Kingsbury said firefighters were taking advantage of support offered by their professional body and keeping an eye on each other’s wellbeing. Ashburton firefighters attended a minor two-car crash on State Highway 1, just south of Tinwald on Thursday afternoon.

Golf carting around Trott’s gardens Thanks to the generosity of Ashburton Lions, moving around the expansive lawns at Trott’s Gardens has become a little easier for less able-bodied people. Trott’s Charitable Trust applied to Lions for funds to buy a golf cart and Lions members said yes. And the cart, now on site, is already being well used, said trust chairwoman Robin Kilworth. As well as being used by visitors it is also used, trailer on behind, by volunteers and staff working in the gardens, she said. “It’s wonderful for our visitors because quite often in a group there is someone who can’t get around quite as well and with the cart they can now see all of the gardens,” Kilworth said. The cart has also been used at a wedding to transport older relatives to areas where family photos were being taken, she said. “It’s a fantastic asset. It’s used all day, every day.”

The Ashburton River rail bridge, parallel to State Highway One, is undergoing routine maintenance, including re-sleepering. KiwiRail’s South Island operations manager Jeanine Benson said the general maintenance was important to ensure the bridge remained in good condition. “All KiwiRail bridges are inspected annually. They also receive a detailed inspection if there is an adverse event, such as flooding. “We expect that the work on the Ashburton bridge will finish in the next four weeks.” KiwiRail maintenance teams worked with operational staff to schedule the maintenance around train traffic, while at the same time providing enough time to work on the bridge in a safe and efficient way, she said.

Art gallery’s cabinet of curiosities By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Myth or reality? That will be the conundrum Ashburton Art Gallery visitors face as they journey through a cabinet of curiosities. Ashburton-born author and illustrator David Elliot will open an exhibition tomorrow which takes visitors through the story of his award-winning book – Snark, Being a true history of the expedition that discovered the Snark and the Jabberwock … and its tragic aftermath. It will feature Elliot’s original drawings, as well as exhibits from the Otago Museum, including a stuffed beaver, stuffed hyena, moa skulls, skull of a tasmanian tiger, top hats and gloves. Elliot’s Snark book elaborates on The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll. “I know from being an author that when you create these places they do become quite real,” Elliot said. “It’s about setting up a space between the objects and the drawings, and people who come to the exhibition can use their own imagination and conjure up a story.” As well as the drawings and exhibits, there will be some audio, including from a seagull, bell and creaking ship. The Snark exhibition will open on Sunday with a talk from Elliot at 2pm. Right – Award-winning artist David Elliot is preparing to take Ashburton Art Gallery visitors on a journey.

PM wants answers from immigration Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern expects answers to the residency case of Karel Sroubek before the three-week deadline, and has openly criticised it for the first time. But she continues to stand by Immigration Minister Iain LeesGalloway, who has given Immigration NZ up to three weeks to investigate claims that, if true, would contradict the reasons why he granted Sroubek residency in the first place. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic’s Justice Ministry said it will begin the extradition process to have Sroubek sent back from New Zealand. An Interpol listing states Sroubek is wanted in the Czech Republic for disorderly conduct, damaging of another’s property, and attacking a law enforcement officer. Lees-Galloway has been under pressure for granting residency despite Sroubek being found guilty of using a false passport and serving a prison sentence for drug-smuggling. Speaking at the Labour Party conference yesterday, Ardern said she had spoken with Lees-Galloway. Lees-Galloway has not discussed the detail of the claims, but a High Court judgement revealed that Sroubek had been back to Eu-

Jacinda Ardern rope in 2009, undercutting any belief that Sroubek’s life might be in danger if he were deported. Lees-Galloway was not aware of the court judgement, and said it was not standard practice to have all court decisions relating to Sroubek handed to him. Ardern defended him, saying ministers had to rely on the information put before them. She said the investigation would look at why the court judgement was not passed on to the minister, but she denied she was throwing immigration officials under the

She said the focus was on Sroubek’s case at the moment, but the investigation may uncover systemic issues. “If that turns out to be the case, we would absolutely need to rectify that and get to the bottom of that.” The National Party has called for the axe to fall on Lees-Galloway, adding that the investigation is not needed and Sroubek should be deported.

“Despite the claims of fear of being sent back to the Czech Republic, he was voluntarily going back there and living in plain sight,” National’s immigration spokesman Michael Woodhouse said. Meanwhile, the Justice Ministry of the Czech Republic announced that it would begin extradition proceedings for Sroubek. “Karel Sroubek was sentenced to four years and six months in prison in the Czech Republic. At the same time, the Czech Republic is prosecuted for further crimes. In 2013, an international search was

announced,” a translated version of the Ministry of Justice statement says. The ministry had been waiting for deportation, but would now ask for extradition because Sroubek’s deportation liability had been cancelled. “The Ministry of Justice will do so in the near future.” Justice Minister Andrew Little told Parliament on Thursday Czech officials had not yet requested Sroubek’s extradition. A Parole Board spokesperson said that Interpol had provided the board with paperwork signed by a Czech judge that outlined offences for an extradition. Sroubek came to New Zealand on a false passport from the Czech Republic in 2003, but was unmasked in 2009 when New Zealand police were given details of his identity and an international arrest warrant for minor charges. In 2011 he was found guilty of using a false passport, but was discharged without conviction on grounds that he would be in danger from corrupt Czech authorities if he were deported. He was previously acquitted of committing aggravated robbery with members of the Hells Angels, but in 2016 was jailed for five years and nine months for importing 5kg of MDMA. –NZME

Predator-free mainland island plan

Minister of Conservation Eugenie Sage has announced plans for a 310,000ha predator-free “mainland island” in the centre of the South Island. The area, called the Manahuna Aoraki, lies between Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, and the upper drylands of the Mackenzie Basin. The Government is partnering with a number of different organisations to fund the $4.5 million project, which will be completed in three years. Of that, the Department of Conservation (DOC) will be contributing a third, the NEXT Foundation will contribute $1.5m and various other groups will stump up the rest. Sage said the project was “huge and ambitious”, adding that “predator control on this scale has not been done before in Aotearoa”. “Te Manahuna Aoraki will help to preserve and protect the habitats of 23 threatened species including wrybill/ngutuparore, robust grasshoppers, kea and the world’s rarest wading bird, the

Eugenie Sage kaki/black stilt,” Sage said. The predator-free “island” will take advantage of the area’s natural barriers such as 3000m-high mountain peaks, ridgelines and waterways. Sage said this would prevent or reduce re-invasion of predators like rats, possums and stoats, while protecting species such as the kaki. “For the kaki population to

thrive, it needs its braided river habitat to be healthy and riverbeds to be clear of introduced weeds and protected from introduced predators.” Sage said Department of Conservation (DoC) biodiversity ranger Scott Theobald played an important role in the Te Manahuna Aoraki restoration project before he was tragically killed in a recent helicopter crash in Wanaka, along with his colleague Paul Hondelink and their pilot Nick Wallis. “All three men were committed to conservation and were pioneers in their fields.” The Government will be partnering with a number of different organisations to fund the project. These include DoC, NEXT Foundation, Te Runanga o Arowhenua, Te Runanga o Waihao and Te Runanga o Moeraki. They are joined by high-country landholders and investors Aotearoa Foundation, Jasmine Social Investments, Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC) and Predator Free 2050 Ltd. – NZME

More KiwiBuilds ready The trickle of new KiwiBuild homes coming on to the market is speeding up as another 10 apartments in Otahuhu open for public viewings. The two-bedroom apartments are priced between $580,000 and $600,000. They come with an oven, cooktop, dishwasher, washer-dryer combo, floor coverings, LED downlights and a carpark. From tomorrow, interested buyers can view the homes every weekend until November 30. Those wanting to enter the ballot to be given the chance to buy them can do so from Monday until the end of the month. Head of KiwiBuild Stephen Barclay said the development showed the Government was “getting some runs-on-theboard”. So far 18 KiwiBuild homes have been completed in Papakura, while a further 70 are under construction in South Auckland and in Wanaka in the South Island. Contracts have also been signed to build another 3367 KiwiBuild homes.. It said KiwiBuild was on track to deliver the first 1000 KiwiBuild homes by mid-2019, a further 5000 homes by June 2020 and 10,000 homes in the year to June, 2021.

However, the unveiling of the first 18 KiwiBuild homes in Papakura last weekend re-ignited debate about how many Kiwis can afford them. This took an ugly turn when one of the first families to move into the homes deleted their social media accounts after being accused of being too wealthy. Fletcher Ross and Derryn Jayne took ownership of their four-bedroom KiwiBuild home at a cost of $649,000, but it led to questions about whether a graduate doctor and marketing manager should be eligible for the programme. Twyford this week said the Government was working on a new shared-ownership scheme. This would likely involve the Government or banks buying homes in partnership with lowincome Kiwis by paying a share of the upfront cost of each house and the buyer paying the rest. By having the Government take a stake in their home, the buyer would then have a smaller home loan and reduced mortgage payments. At a later date, they could then buy the home outright. The scheme could also be used in conjunction with KiwiBuild plans to build 100,000 houses for first-home buyers around the country. – NZME

down one side so that the tubes open out flat. Wash well, then score the inside of each tube to make a diamond effect. Slice squid into strips. Place the squid into a small bowl and toss with diced kiwifruit. Cover and place in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, then rinse. This softens the squid a little, but try not to leave it for longer than 20 minutes or the squid will become too soft in texture. Garlic aioli: To make the aioli, place egg yolks, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and mustard into a food processor and puree on a high speed. Add oil slowly in a fine stream until a mayonnaise type consistency has been reached. Season to taste. Fry the squid: In a large shallow dish, sift together the flours,

salt and pepper. Dip the strips of squid into milk, then into the seasoned flour, tossing to coat well. Dust off excess flour. ■ Place enough oil into a frying pan to shallow fry. Shallow fry the squid strips for a couple of minutes or until golden brown and the edges are beginning to curl. ■ Cut limes in half and dip in sugar. Place a frying pan on medium heat. Add lime halves cutside down to the frying pan and cook quickly until caramelised and golden. ■ Serve squid on a bed of rocket and garnish with caramelised limes.

hen it comes to his teaching career, Ken Pow says he’s a one-trick

pony. He started at Ashburton College 37 years ago and that’s where he’ll wrap up his time in the classroom in mid-December. Along the way he’s carved himself a niche in the college’s record books as a man with three big passions – all things German, all things chess and all things football, but by the time Christmas rolls around Ken and wife Joan will be living a new life in a new home in a new town – Lincoln. “We were ready for a change and we wanted to be closer to family in Christchurch. We’ve always wanted to build and leaving it until this stage means it’s a relatively permanent decision,” Ken said. Lincoln had everything – the small-town feel and close to Christchurch without being part of Christchurch. The move is also about starting a phase of their lives where work becomes flexible. “It’s the next stage for us. I intend to do some relief work and there are three or four secondary schools within a few minutes’ drive and an organisation called Chess Power is spreading to Christchurch so there might be tournaments to run and classes to tutor.” His journey to the teaching profession began in Scotland. The Pow family moved to New Zealand when Ken was 6, settling in Dunedin. He took German at secondary school and a lifelong love affair was born. “I loved languages and did Latin, French and German at school and I was fortunate enough at the end of Year 13 to win a scholar-

Think German teachers and in Ashburton just one name springs to mind – Ken Pow. But when Ashburton College opens next year, Ken and wife Joan will be missing from the staff roll call. He talks to reporter Sue Newman about his 37 years in the classroom.

ship to Germany for three months and that really sealed the deal,” he said. University followed and then time spent travelling and working overseas and in Wellington before Ken decided teaching would be a good career choice, committing to a year at training college in 1981. A job was available at Ashbur-

ton College teaching English and German, but as student numbers grew, German became his only subject. That – and the change project Tomorrow’s Schools – was the start of his role heading the school’s international student programme as schools around New Zealand began chasing the growing fee-paying student

market. “I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed this role. I was in at the outset when we developed codes of practice and got approval from the ministry to do it. We were all finding our way, part of the vanguard of development.” The college now takes around 20 fee-paying students each year, mainly from Thailand, Japan and Germany. The international role also saw Ken travel overseas regularly to work with education agencies while his position as German teacher meant he was able to take student groups into Germany for several weeks most years. As with most things in education, however, he juggled two roles – fulltime classroom teaching and director of international students. He was instrumental in gaining PASCH school accreditation for the college, one of just four schools in New Zealand to belong to that network. This brings sup-

port from the German government and considerable advantages for the college’s students studying German. Chess was also a passion of Ken’s and he helped decades of college students develop high level playing skills. “When I came to college there was already a very good chess team here. Back then the Year 13 students just drove themselves to tournaments in Christchurch.” Competition in the city was tough and the college teams were viewed as participants, rather than winners, but persistence paid off and they became winners in their own right, he said. He’s still a keen player, but said most of his chess is played online. The Ashburton chess club has folded and he’s out of local competition. When it comes to his third passion, football, that’s the one where he admits he’s now an observer rather than a participant. After

Ashburton College teacher Ken Pow is never happier than when he’s indulging his three passions – chess, anything to do with Germany and football. He’s pictured sharing lots of moments with students during his years at the college.

years of coaching and playing. He’s happy to be the man on the sidelines. Looking back over 37 years as a teacher, Ken said he sees two very different worlds. Expectations of both students and staff had changed dramatically, he said. “The biggest change has been the accumulation of stuff. Very little gets dropped out of school life, yet more stuff arrives – new activities, new subjects, more internal assessments and more paperwork around anything that students do. It’s not just teaching now.” Most people who went into teaching did so because they wanted to be with students in classrooms and if the world of teaching had remained like that schools would be full of teachers today, Ken said. The relationship of teachers with students had also changed over the years and it was now one teachers had to work to build. “You have to gain their respect now rather expect respect and you need to be on their wavelength – you have to bluff a lot and keep up to date with what the kids are talking about and doing.” You can’t walk away from 37

years in one school without a backward glance and while Ken says he won’t miss the pressure that teaching today has become, he will miss the camaraderie of staff. “And of course I’ll miss my German students and my German teaching. The things German are

still there in the forefront.” The college is losing not just one member of the Pow family from its staff when the school year ends; Joan Pow will also be wrapping up about 20 years on staff, but unlike her husband, admits she might be back – on a very casual basis. She joined the staff in 2002

in the student learning support unit, working with students whose families had moved from overseas to Ashburton, helping them improve their English. Her work grew to include fee-paying international students and later to providing support for students across a range of subjects.

“I loved working in the support unit right from the beginning. My degree was in German and Russian so I had an empathy and understanding of people who were learning another language and the problems that came with second language learning. You have to be thinking all the time about how to make it easier for them to learn and they have to use so many strategies to work it out.” As she’s wrapping up her time at college, Joan said she’s starting to realise how much she’ll miss the school and the students. “I hope I’ve made a difference in some of their lives. My work is one-on-one and that can be quite tiring because you work so hard with an individual and they’re all different.” She’s indicated she’ll come back to relieve “if they’re desperate’” but admits returning will give her an opportunity to see how her students are progressing. Unlike classroom teaching, you often formed a close bond with students you’re working with oneon-one, Joan said. But the trade-off, being closer to children and grandchildren and the freedom to travel will make the leaving a little easier, she said.

OUR VIEW

Reflecting on a successful royal tour J

ust in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last wee while, we’ve had a couple of royals walking our ground this week – and it’s been a rather big deal. Although they never set foot in the best part of New Zealand (the Mainland) the presence of Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has certainly caused a fair few Kiwis to get a little bit excited about things. They lined the streets for the chance at a glimpse at the royal couple, most in the desperate hope of the opportunity of snapping a pic, or a handshake from either of one of the world’s most famous couples.

The royal family ia an incredible group of people. They demand attention, even from those on the other side of the world, and are followed by hundreds everywhere they go – but what’s the big fuss? After all, they are just mere mortals like you or I, other than that they hold a special title and come from one of the most significant families in the

history of the world. One has to wonder how it feels for them, too. Are they embarrassed about all the fuss, or do they secretly enjoy the attention? Whatever the answer is, there’s no denying that what they do, they do very well. Prince Harry in particular seemed well-prepared for his visit to our shores. He’d brushed up on his Te Reo and delivered confident conversations when required and both duke and duchess showed real genuine interest in the cultures and beliefs associated with their visit. It’s hard to imagine that the proposition of heading to a for-

eign country, where your every move is going to be scrutinised by both media and ordinary people alike, would be that appealing to anyone, but if it bothers any royal, they certainly don’t show it. The visit this week of Harry and Meghan was pretty much over before it began – a fleeting four days, in which they tossed gumboots, spent time with the typical New Zealand citizen and rubbed shoulders with some of our nation’s leaders. In terms of our relationship with the Commonwealth, these visits are important and how we conduct ourselves and portray our country is vitally important to the future of that relationship.

Prince Harry has always been a bit of a rugby nut, so there’s probably not much chance of him turning on the home of the All Blacks in any hurry. Unless, of course, we are again the conduit to the demise of his beloved English side in next year’s World Cup in Japan. So, love them, or loathe them – we’ve survived another visit from those who, in terms of royalty, sit well above all of us. They’ll head home and tell their family members of the really enjoyable time they had in our country and how hospitable we all were. Which is a victory, no matter which way you look at it.

Today’s highlight in history: On November 3, 1992, Democrat Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd president of the United States. On this date: In 1839, the first Opium War between China and Britain broke out. In 1900, the first major US automobile show opened at New York under the auspices of the Automobile Club of America. In 1903, Panama proclaimed its independence from Colombia. In 1908, Republican William Howard Taft was elected president. In 1911, the Chevrolet Motor Car Co was founded in Detroit by Louis Chevrolet and William C Durant. In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won a landslide election victory. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 2, the second manmade satellite, into orbit; on board was a dog named Laika, who was sacrificed in the experiment. In 1964, President Lyndon B Johnson soundly defeated Republican Barry Goldwater to win a White House term in his own right. In 1970, Salvador Allende was inaugurated as president of Chile. In 1979, five Communist Workers Party members were killed in a clash with heavily armed Ku Klux Klansmen and neo-Nazis during an anti-Klan protest in North Carolina. In 1986, the Iran-Contra affair came to light as Ash-Shiraa, a proSyrian Lebanese magazine, first broke the story of US arms sales to Iran. In 1997, the Supreme Court let stand California’s groundbreaking Proposition 209, which banned race and gender preference in hiring and school admissions.

You are being fleeced P

etrol companies are here to make money and for no other reason. They are not there to make our lives better despite the smiling ads and the persistent odour of crushed coffee beans mingling with over-used toilets. In June this year it was reported that BP paid a $400 million dividend back to its parent company in the UK. That is one company, in one year sending $400 million offshore, that has come from your back pocket. They were able to do this because they had just reported a 65 per cent increase in profit from the year before. Yip, you read that right, BP increased its profit by 65 per cent in one year, from little old New Zealand. Again, this is just one of the oil companies in this country. How do you increase a profit by 65 per cent? Simple, you squeeze your customers who are in a no-win situation. You bleed them dry until they are whiter than the peaks of Mt Hutt in winter. You also make sure there is no

competition by price matching with other oil companies in the same town, so that every petrol station returns the same profit to its owners. Did you know $400 million could run my school, including teacher salaries, for the next 500 years!! That is simply nuts! Or to put it another way, enough money was gouged out of this country, in one year, by one company to teach 122,500 children, and pay all the staff that work with them, for a year. Read that again, 122,500 children could be taught, housed in schools and provided with a curriculum for a year, from the dividend that BP paid its parent company. Now I know that we need petrol and diesel at the moment. Remember they also need us

to buy from them. But we do not need this blatant fleecing. This consistent flogging of the motoring public is having a very real and detrimental effects on the community, and as always, on the most vulnerable. No-one at BP has to face families that were already struggling, making rock and a hard place decisions about food and clothing, but as schools we do. I have already had children miss school because their parents are waiting until pay day to afford petrol to get them here. Oh I know they might point out that they offer loyalty schemes and support communities by blah, blah, blah, but the reality is they are here to make money, and make money they do. In fact, I will bet my Ministry of Education-issued underwear, that if every oil company ran honest ad campaigns that simply said “We exist to fleece you at the pump” their businesses would not suffer. No-one would bat an eyelid and no-one would complain to the broadcasting standards authority because we

UN condemns US embargo The UN General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to approve a resolution condemning the American economic embargo of Cuba after rejecting proposed US amendments strongly criticising the lack of human rights in the country. Resolutions adopted by the 193-member world body are unenforceable, but they reflect world opinion and the vote has given Cuba an annual stage for the last 27 years to demonstrate the isolation of the US on the embargo. It was imposed in 1960 following the revolution led by Fidel Castro and the nationalisation of properties belonging to US citizens and corporations. The General Assembly’s vote on the Cuban-sponsored resolution on the “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba” was 189-2 with no abstentions. The US and Israel voted no. In earlier separate votes on the proposed US amendments, Ukraine and Israel were the only countries to join the US in voting yes on all eight measures while the Marshall Islands backed one amendment. Some 114 countries voted against the amendments and about 65 abstained.

Hand prints of students are seen on a wall during an event against the US trade embargo of Cuba. PHOTO AP The proposed amendments expressed serious concern at the lack of freedom of expression and access to information in Cuba and the prohibition on workers’ right to strike. Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the US embargo “a flagrant, massive and systematic violation of the human rights of Cuban men and women”. He accused the US government of committing “crimes against humanity,” pointing to its dropping of the atom bomb in Japan in World War II, waging wars that “caused the death

of millions, many of them innocent,” and carrying out “extrajudicial executions, kidnapping and torture”. He also accused the US of violating the human rights of its citizens, singling out AfroAmericans, Hispanics, minorities, refugees and migrants. US Ambassador Nikki Haley stressed that “our reason for the embargo is and has always been Cuba’s denial of freedom and the denial of the most basic human rights for the Cuban people.” But the US failed to get support even from Western na-

tions. The European Union said the US amendments did not belong in a resolution dealing with a trade embargo, and its members supported the resolution calling for the US “to repeal or invalidate” the embargo. Cuban President Raul Castro and then-President Barack Obama officially restored relations in July 2016. South African Ambassador Jerry Matjila expressed regret that the gradual relaxation of the embargo under Obama had been reversed. – AP

■ SEXUAL MISCONDUCT

Saget, Rizzo marry

Google staff protest treatment of women Several hundred Google employees around the world have briefly walked off the job in a protest against what they say is the company’s mishandling of sexual misconduct allegations against executives. Employees staged walkouts at offices from Tokyo and Singapore to London and New York, with more expected to do so in California. In Dublin, organisers used megaphones to address the crowd of men and women to express their support for victims of sexual harassment. Other workers gathered indoors, in conference rooms or lobbies, to show their solidarity with abuse victims. Protesters in New York carried signs with such messages as ‘Not OK Google’ and ‘Don’t

be evil’ – a mocking reference to Google’s one-time motto. Designer Leeung Li Jo said from New York that she wanted to show support for the MeToo movement, “so we can have a comfortable working environment”. “Time is up on sexual harassment, time is up on systemic racism, time is up on abuses of power! Enough is enough!” organiser Vicki Tardif Holland shouted at a gathering of about 300 people in Massachusetts. The Google protest, billed Walkout For Real Change, is unfolding a week after a New York Times story detailed allegations of sexual misconduct about the creator of its Android software, Andy Rubin. The report said Rubin received a $US90 million sev-

Rubin derided the Times story article as inaccurate and denied the allegations in a tweet . The same story also disclosed allegations of sexual misconduct of other executives, including Richard DeVaul, a director at the same Google-affiliated lab that created far-flung projects such as self-driving cars and internet- beaming balloons. DeVaul had remained at the X lab after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced about him a few years ago, but he resigned thiw week, without severance, Google confirmed. Google chief executive Sundar Pichai apologised for the company’s past actions in an

email sent to employees. “I understand the anger and disappointment that many of you feel,” Pichai wrote. “I feel it as well, and I am fully committed to making progress on an issue that has persisted for far too long in our society. And, yes, here at Google, too.” In an email last week, Pichai and Eileen Naughton, Google’s executive in charge of personnel issues, sought to reassure workers that the company had cracked down on sexual misconduct since Rubin’s departure four years ago. Pichai and Naughton also disclosed that Google had fired 48 employees, including 13 senior managers, for sexual harassment in recent years without giving any of them severance packages. – AP

Woman to leave Pakistan A Christian woman acquitted in Pakistan after eight years on death row for blasphemy plans to leave the country soon, her family says. Radical Islamists mounted rallies across the country for a second day after Pakistan’s Supreme Court overturned the 2010 conviction against Asia Bibi for insulting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed. Bibi’s acquittal posed a challenge to the government of Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Imran Khan, who came to power this summer partly by pursuing the Islamist agenda. He asked protesters not to “test the patience of the state”. Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the government was avoiding the use of force against demonstrators to resolve the issue peacefully. Bibi remained at an undisclosed location late this week, where the 54-year-old mother of five was being held for security reasons, awaiting her formal release, her brother James Masih said. Masih said his sister simply would not be safe in Pakistan. “She has no other option and she will leave the country soon,” he said. Masih would not disclose the

Jail officials said two inmates were arrested last month at an undisclosed detention facility for planning to kill Bibi by strangling her. They said the men were still being questioned.

Meanwhile, more than 1000 Islamists blocked a key road linking the capital Islamabad with the garrison city of Rawalpindi, demanding Bibi be publicly hanged. Hundreds also blocked another key motorway, linking Islamabad with major cities such as Lahore and Peshawar, chanting slogans

against Bibi and demanding her execution. Lawyer Ghulam Mustafa filed a petition in the Supreme Court requesting the judges review the acquittal as the government began talks with rally organisers to end their protests, which led to dozens of vehicles being torched. – AP

Pacific island nation to ban sunscreens ment that the penalties find the right balance between “educating tourists and scaring them away”. The law defines reef-toxic sunscreen as containing any one of 10 chemicals, including oxybenzone, and states that other chemicals may also be banned. The legislation also requires tour operators to start providing customers with reusable cups, straws and food containers. Remengesau said a big impetus for the ban was a 2017 report which found that sunscreen products were widespread in

Palau’s famed Jellyfish Lake, which was closed for more than a year due to declining jellyfish numbers before being recently reopened. The president noted legislative findings that “plastic waste, chemical pollution, resource overconsumption, and climate change all continue to threaten the health of our pristine paradise”. Scientists have found that some chemicals in sunscreen can be toxic to coral reefs, which are a vital part of the ocean ecosystem as well as a popular

draw for tourists. But some critics say there aren’t enough independent scientific studies on the issue while others worry that people will suffer from too much sun exposure if they stop using the products. Some manufacturers, meanwhile, have already started selling “reef-friendly” sunscreen. Palau, located east of the Philippines and north of Indonesia, is home to 21,000 people and has an economy that relies on tourism and fishing. – AP

In an attempt to protect the coral reefs that divers so admire they have dubbed them the underwater Serengeti, the Pacific nation of Palau will soon ban many types of sunscreen.

Banned sunscreens will be confiscated from tourists who carry them into the country, and merchants selling the banned products will be fined up to $US1000. Remengesau said in a state-

Officials said the cabin crew on Patterson’s Qantas flight from Los Angeles failed to notice that the dog was on board without an import permit. The Bullets, who play in the National Basketball League, say it was an innocent mistake, not a deliberate attempt to flout Australia’s strict quarantine laws. Patterson, who averaged 45 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in the latest Chinese CBA season,

is just the latest visitor in a tangle over a travelling pet. Tennis great Martina Navratilova has been a critic of Australian laws that don’t allow pets in aircraft cabins. Australia’s ex-Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce was perhaps best known abroad for the tough stance he took on Johnny Depp’s pet dogs Pistol and Boo. Joyce threatened to have the Yorkshire terriers euthanised after saying they were smuggled into Australia in 2014 where

Depp was filming the fifth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. Depp’s then-wife Amber Heard pleaded guilty to falsifying an immigration document to conceal the dogs in a private jet. She avoided jail under a deal that included Heard and Depp appearing in an awkward video warning against others breaking Australia’s strict quarantine laws. Heard later took to Twitter to mock Joyce. – AP

Parliament dissolved The parliament in Armenia has been dissolved after it failed to choose a new prime minister for the second time, paving the way for a snap election. Nikol Pashinian, who resigned as Armenian prime minister last week, was the only nominee in the vote held this week. Pashinian and his supporters want an early vote because Armenia’s current parliament is dominated by the party that backed his predecessor and has been blocking some of his initiatives. The 43-year old former journalist took office in May after spearheading weeks of protests that forced the resignation of long-time leader Serzh Sargsyan. The protests drew on widespread anger over unemployment and corruption. – AP

Alert from earlier flight The pilot of a Lion Air flight from Indonesia’s Bali island made an alert call minutes after takeoff due to technical problems, but they were overcome and he pushed on to Jakarta.

Herson, chief of the airport authority for the Bali-Nusa Tenggara area, told Reuters that after the call on Sunday the pilot updated the control tower to say that the plane was flying normally and he would not return to the airport as requested. “The captain himself was confident enough to fly to Jakarta from Denpasar,” said Herson, who goes by one name, speaking by phone from Bali. - AAP

South Island drilling necessary, says NZOG By Gavin Evans New Zealand Oil & Gas says the country needs to advance drilling off the South Island’s east coast to help reduce global emissions. The company is seeking drilling partners for two large permits it operates off the South Canterbury coast and in the Great South Basin south-east of Stewart Island. Chief executive Andrew Jefferies told shareholders yesterday that both basins are highly prospective and likely to contain large gas deposits. “It’s that gas that can be used in the global energy system to displace the coals, and the bitumens and oilsands which is where the other reserves are seen,” he said. “These prospects should be unlocked, they should get drilled. If we don’t use these resources then the world will continue to use resources – they will just continue to use them from other places and we’re going to have to buy them. “And that will leave New Zealand poorer and similarly global emissions higher.” NZOG has spent several years seeking partners to drill the Barque prospect off the Oamaru

coast. The 150 square-kilometre structure lies in the Clipper permit the company owns with Beach Energy and could hold the equivalent of 530 million barrels of condensate and gas. But the venture faces a drilling decision next year, in what could be the first real test of the Government’s commitment to allow existing offshore acreage to continue to be worked and developed if a discovery is made. The Government is currently rushing legisla-

OGOG believes in the Barque prospect and the Ironbark prospect off Western Australia that NZOG has also just taken a 15 per cent stake in, he said. The company is not seeking quick profits and is willing to invest significant capital over “very long” time frames in sectors it gets involved in. It wants to keep NZOG listed so that it can raise the capital needed to fund future growth, and so that existing investors can continue to share in that growth, he said. Jefferies said the scale of opportunity and the firm’s credibility with potential counterparties, has risen since OGOG got behind the company. And he said the firm would likely come to shareholders and the broader market to seek funding for some “large asset purchases” in the future. He cited Ironbark – potentially five-times the size of Maui – as a potentially “transformative” investment for the company. It ranks among the world’s top10 undrilled prospects and has a “great address” among a string of major gas fields. “It’s a really exciting well.” – NZME

tion through Parliament to block the granting of any new offshore exploration permits. Jefferies told shareholders the Government’s ban had turned the “headwinds” the firm faced finding partners into a “gale”. But the Government had provided a written guarantee of its continuing rights under its existing permits. A well must be drilled at Clipper by late 2020 or the acreage surrendered. “We’re hoping that they continue to be supportive in helping us

keep the permit going and to get that well drilled,” Jefferies said. “We really want to see Barque drilled. We really want to be part of that discovery of the new North Sea in the south.” NZOG shares were unchanged at 63 cents. Jefferies had no new details to offer the roughly 30 shareholders attending the Wellington meeting on the testing of the onshore Kohatukai well in Taranaki. Drilling was completed by Mitsui-owned AWE last week and produced encouraging gas shows in its two main target formations. Logging is under way and further pressure testing and sampling is planned over the weekend, he said. NZOG and major shareholder OG Oil & Gas each have 25 per cent interests in the well which is targeting a 48 square-kilometre structure that extends almost to the coast. Chairman Samuel Kellner, a director of OG Oil & Gas, said his firm’s experience as a partner at Kohatukai had reinforced its confidence in the management team at NZOG and the opportunities ahead.

Consumer confidence dipped in October as people fret about the future. The ANZ Roy Morgan consumer confidence index fell to 115.4 in October from 117.6 in September. People’s optimism about their present situation lifted slightly to 122.0 from 120.2, but the future conditions index fell to 111.0 from 115.9, the lowest since late 2015. “Consumers are feeling good about the here and now, but concerns about the future are clearly growing. Consumers haven’t been this pessimistic about their own and their family’s financial outlook one year ahead since mid-2012,” said ANZ chief economist Sharon Zollner. Perceptions regarding the next

year’s economic outlook fell 5 points to a net 1 per cent expecting conditions to deteriorate versus a net 4 per cent expecting an improvement in the prior survey. The five-year outlook fell 4 points to positive 14 per cent. A net 11 per cent say they were better off now than a year ago versus a net 12 per cent in the prior survey. A net 20 per cent expect to be better off financially this time next year, down 7 points. However, the survey also showed that a net 33 per cent say it’s a good time to buy a major household item, bouncing back 4 points from last month. “A key question is whether this growing concern about the outlook will lead to consumers reining in their spending. However, encouragingly for retailers, the proportion of respondents who

think it’s a good time to buy a major household item increased and is at a level consistent with solid growth in spending,” Zollner said. Inflation expectations were a tad higher with prices seen rising at an annual pace of 3.5 per cent during the next two years, up from 3.4 per cent in October but down from 4 per cent in August. Zollner said ANZ’s confidence composite gauge – which combines business expectations and intentions with overall consumer sentiment – suggests a slowing in economic growth by year-end. “Such a development would not be welcomed by the Reserve Bank, who is struggling to get inflation sustainably up to the inflation midpoint. We continue to see an eventual OCR cut as a very real possibility.” – NZME

Netflix picks up Kiwi television series Popular New Zealand reality television show The Casketeers has been picked up by online streaming giant Netflix. The series, about Auckland Maori funeral home business Tipene Funerals, gives the audience a glimpse into the emotional rollercoaster world of funeral directing. “It’s a show that sees the ups and downs of the funeral directing industry. It’s a show that also highlights the sadness and hurt

of the immediate family,” Kaiora Tipene, the executive administration and director of finance, told Te Karere. “You see the ups and downs of the industry but Francis says it’s an honour that whanau allowed them to film them in those trying times. “There are no words to describe our thanks to the families and to the people, we’re so lucky.” The show, which will be entering its second season, will be

screened on Netflix in Australia. Francis Tipene, chief operations officer and senior funeral director, told Te Karere it was an opportunity for families overseas to tune into the show. “We have many family members living in Australia who are wanting to watch the programme.

Sport Blades of glory For Ted Yee, cross-country skiing training this winter involved roller blades or roller skis on the footpaths of Ashburton. PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 281018-RH-090

By Erin Tasker

Erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Cross-country skier Ted Yee is used to having some of the best training possible at his doorstep, literally. But winter 2018 had been different. Ted, who hails from New England in America (where snow typically covers the ground for the bulk of winter), has spent this winter living in Ashburton where the nearest competition crosscountry skiing venue is hours away in Wanaka. So he’s had to improvise, using roller blades or roller skis and hitting the footpaths of Ashburton to keep up the kind of momentum which had seen him make the Massachusetts under-16 team back home. It has done the trick. In September Ted headed to Snow Farm in Wanaka for the national secondary schools’ cross-country skiing championships where he finished third in the classic event, fourth in the skating event and third in the team event where he joined up with a couple of skiers from Dunedin. It was a good result considering there had been few opportunities to actually train on the snow in New Zealand, compared to back home. Most of his training

has been done on roller blades or roller skis, with the track around the Ashburton Business Park one of his favourite training grounds locally because of its smooth and flat surface. Ted, a 15-year-old year 11 student at Ashburton College, came to New Zealand in July with his family, mum Mary, dad Ed and sister Peggy. Mary Yee, a GP, landed a position as a physician at the Moore Street Medical Centre for a year so the family packed up their lives for an adventure on the other side of the world. Three months in, they are loving it, although it has felt a little odd to look out the window and see flowers in bloom in the middle of winter. For them, winter generally means piles of snow everywhere and endless snow shovelling. The family hails from a town of about 7000 people, called Dalton. The town’s claim to fame is that for more than 200 years it has been the only producer of US currency paper. In the summer it is muggy and humid, but in the winter it is cold, with snow generally covering the ground from Christmas through to the end of February. Snow and snow sports are a big part of their lives. Ed Yee used to be a coach for the American

PHOTOS SUPPLIED junior Olympic biathlon team, a job which saw him help set up a programme aimed at seeking out some of the country’s brightest young future stars. That, Ted said, was probably how he got the cross-country skiing bug. He skied for his school ski team for the past three years and was

also on the Lenox Memorial Middle and High School athletics team. In the summer, Ted runs. He is pretty good too, the fastest on his team and sixth in the league back home, which is about the equivalent of sixth in Canterbury here. With the ski season finished, the

New Zealand secondary school athletics championships is the next big competition on his mind. There he is eyeing up the longer distances – the 3000m and the 1500m. “I’m better at running, but skiing is a lot more fun because it’s faster and it’s fun to just fly over the snow,” Ted said. “And it’s not as harsh as running on your legs, so you don’t get the injuries like tendonitis and things like that.” When it comes to the future, Ted doesn’t know where his future lies. In America, competition is tough when it comes to high performance sport, and spots at the winter and summer Olympics are hard to come by. So he is just taking things as they came. For now, that means enjoying the experience of a year abroad and looking forward to telling his mates back home about his experience attending nationals during his year in New Zealand. Ed Yee said while the nearest cross-country ski area that was regularly open in the South Island is in Wanaka, that didn’t mean it wasn’t possible to achieve great things. “We have people who have made the Olympic team that live in New York, who practise in Central Park,” Ed Yee said.

■■CRICKET

Lauriston, Stags in shield rematch Limited overs cricket returns to the Ashburton Domain today when the first round of Mid Canterbury Cricket’s Pritchard Shield gets under way. Lauriston are the defending champions and could be shaping up to be the team to beat again this season, after making the final of last weekend’s T20 competition. Last season, Lauriston took

out three of the four trophies on offer – the Pritchard Shield, the Muirhead Rosebowl and the Studholme Shield – with the only one they didn’t pick up being the T20 trophy. That was won by Methven, but the Methven side fell short of making the final this season, only winning two of their four games in the round robin. This year’s T20 final was fought

out between Lauriston and the Tech Stags last weekend and it ended in a rare draw after Lauriston went from looking like they were cruising to victory chasing the Stags’ 96 all out, to capitulating and losing their final wicket with the scores tied in the final over. The limited overs season will start today with those two teams

squaring off for the second weekend in a row, on the Technical wicket at the Ashburton Domain, while the day’s other game will see Coldstream host Methven in another repeat game from last weekend. Methven won that one by three wickets. The Mid Canterbury Cricket open grade competition is down to just four teams for the rest of

the season now, thanks to the withdrawal of Allenton due to a lack of numbers just before the season started. Five teams took part in the T20 competition, with a second Tech team – the Tech Old Dogs – being formed just for the shortened version of the game which was contested over three weekends to start the season.

Ferns legend to assist Northern Stars Northern Stars assistant coach and Silver Ferns legend Temepara Bailey is set to return to the court in a player-coach role for next year’s ANZ Premiership. Following a disappointing season, finishing last with just four wins from 15 games, the Stars lost a huge amount of experience in the midcourt and attacking end with the recent withdrawal of captain Grace Kara due to pregnancy. Team management said they looked to younger players associated with the Stars, but due to

significant injuries, head coach Kiri Wills has turned to Bailey to fill the experience void and potentially lead the young franchise to their best season yet. “The decision was a relatively easy one from my point of view. We have a number of young driven players in our team and for us to win, we need to have on-court leadership and experience, there is no doubt Temepara will bring these qualities,” said Wills. “One of Temepara’s great strengths is her capacity to direct players on court and drive

on court team strategy, whilst still doing her job to a very high standard. “We have some great young talent in our team and the wider squad and we will be looking to push those players hard to get them ready for the ANZ Premiership. When they are ready to contribute to a winning performance they will certainly get opportunities.” Bailey, who retired from netball in 2012, will continue in her role as assistant coach for the third consecutive year.

The 43-year-old has often been used as an extra training partner with the Stars and said she was very excited to play in front of her home crowd again after six years on the sideline. “South Auckland is home for me and I’m looking forward to preseason with the team and getting out on court in the purple colours of the Stars next year,” said Bailey. Northern Stars General Manager Dianne Lasenby said she believed the community would embrace Bailey’s return. - NZME

One of the most entertaining players on the ATP tour is returning to Auckland. Charismatic Frenchman Gael Monfils, known for his acrobatics and ability to hit winners from anywhere on the court, has been confirmed as part of the 2019 field at Stanley Street. Monfils is currently ranked No 30 in the world, but was as high as No 6 two years ago. The 32-year-old has reached the last four at the US Open and Roland Garros, and has made the quarter-finals at six other occasions at Grand Slams. Monfils has graced the ASB Classic on two previous occasions. He lost in the first round in 2007, but lit up the tournament in 2013. He came back from a set down to beat Benjamin Becker in the first round, then outlasted Tommy Haas 3-6 7-5 6-3 in the late night quarter-final, in a match that is still regarded as one of the best in the tournament’s history. “We’re stoked to have Monfils back at the ASB Classic this year, and we’re thrilled that he’s chosen to head to Auckland over defending his title at Doha, said tournament director Karl Budge. “He is an absolute showman, an exciting player to watch and we know he’s going to entertain the crowd. Gaël’s match against Tommy Haas is one of the most memorable in tournament history, truly epic. It’s become one of those iconic matches that are referred to when people are talking about the ASB Classic.” Monfils took his seventh ATP title in Doha this year. He has also reached the final of the European Open and two more semifinals (Argentina, Turkey). Former Auckland champions John Isner and Roberto BautistaAgut, along with grand slam finalist Tomas Berdych and young Korean Hyeon Chung are other names confirmed for the men’s events, which runs from January 7-12. - NZME

■ TENNIS

In brief

Title contenders show early form After two rounds of the Mid Canterbury Tennis A grade competition, two teams have already put their hands up as early title contenders. Methven and Allenton are the only two sides to have picked up two wins from the first two rounds and each will be out to keep that winning feeling going this weekend. The two unbeaten sides so far won’t play each other until the final round of round one, on November 24, setting up a potentially exciting finish to the season’s opening round. At the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre today though, Allenton is set to take on a Fairton side yet to pick up a win despite having multiple-time Gala Cup singles winner Rhys Cromie at number one. Cromie missed the first round, but was there last weekend when his side took on Methven and lost on a countback of games. Allenton’s number one is Sam Bubb, while Mid Canterbury Tennis coach Andre van Rooyen is at number two. Methven is led by Edwin Dargue at number one and his side will be looking to make it three from three when they take on Hampstead today. Hampstead has also lost both

Ban ‘should be lifted’ The bans on Australian cricketers Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft should be lifted following a damning cultural review into the sport, Rod Marsh says. The Test great and former national selector says the review proves the three players aren’t solely to blame for the ball-tampering that led to their suspensions. “The thing is, they were banned on a premise, that they were the people to blame entirely,” Marsh said. “Well, it has been proven, I think, if you want to rely on what the review says, it has been proven that it wasn’t only them. “So the ground has shifted a little bit. And as a result of the ground shifting I think there’s a strong case for them to be reinstated.” -AAP

Usain Bolt quits trial at Mariners Usain Bolt has quit his A-League trial, rejecting a contract offer from the Central Coast Mariners. The Olympic sprint great was unable to strike a deal with the Mariners, which largely hinged on finding a commercial partner to boost his salary. Bolt had been on trial at the club for the past two months. “I would like to thank the Central Coast Mariners’ owners, management, staff, players and fans for making me feel so welcome during my time there,” Bolt said in a statement released by the club yesterday. Central Coast were understood to have offered Bolt a contract in the vicinity of $150,000, without any guarantee the Jamaican would get an A-League game. Bolt’s camp, the Mariners and Football Federation Australia were unable to find commercial partner to increase the amount of the offer. Mariners chief executive Shaun Mielekamp said there was some regret “this huge opportunity wasn’t able to be maximised”. “It’s more of a timing issue,” he told reporters. “Unfortunately for us ... we weren’t able to come to an agreement in terms. “But in all fairness, it was such a crazy moment that everyone just got a brilliant chance to enjoy the ride that happened. “There’s no doubt that everybody - Usain, to the players, to

the club - everybody together genuinely believed that if this was the right fit and if this could really make a big difference, then it would have happened. “Reality is, it didn’t get there.” Mariners owner Mike Charlesworth deemed Bolt’s trial worthwhile for the club and the eighttime Olympic gold medallist. “It has been a pleasure to work with Usain as he pursued his desire to become a professional football player,” Charlesworth said in a statement.

“It has been a mutually beneficial partnership that brought an increased level of excitement and attention to both the Mariners and the A-League.” Charlesworth said Bolt had made “great strides as a footballer” during his trial but the 32-year-old was widely thought to be well short of A-League standard. Bolt made his professional football debut for the Mariners when going on as a substitute in a friendly game against a lo-

cal Central Coast select team on August 31. On October 12, he scored twice in another friendly, against amateur club Macarthur South West United. Six days later, Bolt was offered a two-year contract from Maltese club Valletta, which he rejected. The Mariners then offered Bolt a contract in a move coinciding with the start of the A-League season. Bolt had been considering the deal in the past fortnight. - AAP

A win for England against South Africa in their rugby Test on Saturday will keep coach Eddie Jones’ critics at bay, but a loss will sharpen the knives. A crisisrelieving victory in the final Test of England’s rugby tour of South Africa in June gave Jones some breathing space amid mounting criticism of his tenure. A loss to the Springboks on Saturday at the start of a tough-looking schedule of November Tests might see the doom-mongers return in force. Less than a year out from the Rugby World Cup, coach Jones and the England team as a whole remain in a vulnerable place. Just this summer, England were on a six-match losing run, a dramatic slump after the record-tying 18-match winning streak at the start of Jones’ reign. - AP

Rooney misses penalty Wayne Rooney’s fairytale first season in Major League Soccer ended in disappointment when the DC United striker missed a penalty in a shootout defeat to Columbus Crew in the knockout round of the play-offs. The 33-year-old stepped up for his team’s first spot kick after the match had ended 2-2 following extra time, but his shot was saved by Crew goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who dived to his right and swatted away the former England skipper’s effort. Rooney’s team mates Luciano Acosta and Nick DeLeon also missed their efforts as Crew ran out 3-2 winners in the shootout to move on to the Eastern Conference semi-finals, where they face New York Red Bulls. “It’s disappointing losing on penalties but as a team we can be extremely proud of what we have achieved in the last few months,” Rooney told reporters. - AAP

McLaughlin into the wall at Pukekohe Championship leader Scott McLaughlin has put his Falcon into the wall in practice, walking away unhurt but unsure ahead of the penultimate meet of the Supercars season at Pukekohe Park. The 25-year-old looked shaken after an uncharacteristic error at his home circuit yesterday. After topping the timing charts in the morning’s practice session, the DJR Team Penske man was fastest again during the early stages of their afternoon tuneup. But McLaughlin looked for too

much at turn two at the regional New Zealand circuit, losing control and locking up before spearing into the wall. “I just overstepped the mark. Completely my fault,” he said. McLaughlin reported to the medical centre but was quickly released, even though damage to his Falcon made it impossible to return for the rest of practice. “It was a pretty big hit ... it felt big but I can’t do much about it now,” he said. “I’ve got to own it and get over it.

“I’m pretty disappointed in myself. I’ve given (my pit team) a whole heap of work they didn’t need so I give myself a kick up the arse.” Despite the crumpled hood and damage to the car’s exterior, McLaughlin’s team is expected to have car No.17 ready for qualifying and racing today. The Pukekohe circuit, about 50km south of Auckland, is notoriously tough for drivers and in windy conditions yesterday, several drivers struggled to stay on the tarmac.

As the session resumed, McLaughlin took up a broom in the garage while his championship rival Shane van Gisbergen took a trip over the grass. The top four drivers in the series – McLaughlin, van Gisbergen, Whincup and Lowndes - occupied the top four positions in the order for the first practice session. McLaughlin leads van Gisbergen by 14 points with the two races in New Zealand and two races in Newcastle remaining in the series. - AAP

■■WARRIORS

Nikorima shows support for Johnson The treatment of Shaun Johnson by the Warriors has been “pretty harsh”, according to one of his Kiwis teammates. Johnson’s future at the Auckland club has come under the spotlight, after it was revealed the player and his management had been told they were free to explore other options when the November 1 transfer deadline passed. Warriors’ CEO Cameron George also confirmed to media that while they were “openminded” about the future, the club was “not going to be scared to make big calls on any player.” While the Auckland club might

argue they were being transparent, the revelations have created a firestorm across the NRL. It was strange timing, and an unnecessary distraction on tour and an unusual way to conduct negotiations with a marquee player. Kiwis five-eighth Kodi Nikorima was certainly surprised. “I thought it was pretty harsh how it all came out, with him being on the other side of the world, not having control of that,” said Nikorima. “I’ve spoken to Shaun about it. I just told him, stay focused, you are part of this team now and the rest will just take care of itself.”

Johnson is always a focal point – no matter who is he playing for – and the recent news has only increased the spotlight on him. He had a mixed game in the first test defeat and is probably feeling more pressure than ever, but Nikorima said the 28-yearold is handling the situation well. “We haven’t really spoken too much about it,” he said. “He’s a professional and I just had a quiet word to him myself because he is my roomie. He doesn’t show too much and he is still the same Shaun Johnson as he was when he first came over here, before all that news came out. In terms of

how he’s been, he’s just the same. He’s not really spoken about it. He’s a professional and I love playing with him.” Nikorima also admitted that the developments are symptomatic of the corporate side of the NRL, especially around marquee players. “I guess it just shows that this is a business that we live and play in, unfortunately,” said Nikorima. “No doubt when he gets back home he will sort it all out.” Johnson and Nikorima’s developing partnership will be key on Monday morning when the Kiwis play England. - NZME

In laying out the possible courses to be raced in the 36th America’s Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand showed sailing was moving with the times. The courses outlined are all spectator-friendly, allowing more fans of the regatta to get a firsthand view point of the racing. Luna Rossa Challenge team director and skipper Max Sirena said what ETNZ have proposed could be spectacular for the sport. “Naturally it’s like a theatre,” Sirena told AmericasCup.com, “which is the future – we need to produce a good TV production and Auckland is just perfect for that.” All going well, there will be plenty of fast and exciting racing taking place in Auckland in 2021, with the introduction of the new AC75 class for the event. Expected to be able to reach incredible speeds, the 2021 event could be the most exciting from a spectator’s view point yet. Executive director and skipper for New York Yacht Club’s American Magic challenge Terry Hutchinson was a tactician with ETNZ in the 2007 America’s Cup, and told AmericasCup.com, for him, it was good to be getting back to familiar waters. “I look forward to being out in the Hauraki Gulf, or between North Head and Takapuna. We know the area, we know the race course, and I’m looking forward to a successful regatta becuase in the end that’s what we’re going for.” While having the choice of venue to host the regatta might be an advantage, ETNZ electing to hold it in Auckland might not give them the usual home field advantage. Members from all three of the confirmed challengers have spent plenty of time on Auckland waters and are familiar with how to handle to conditions. INEOS Team UK skipper Ben Ainslie knows Auckland well, and told AmericasCup.com he was prepared for the challenges of what can be a difficult area to sail. “The conditions are very changeable, there’s quite a lot of tide, and the best part about it is Aucklanders love sailing - it’s called the City of Sails, so the America’s Cup I think will be a big success.”

■■RUGBY

Smith hails ‘genuis’ of Sir Graham Sitting back in Japan, Wayne Smith watched Auckland rugby’s provincial triumph and felt compelled to pay tribute to someone he considers the architect of successful modern day rugby environments. Smith doesn’t want this man’s influence on all levels of rugby to be forgotten, and so has taken it upon himself to recognise his contribution. “Graham Henry, along with Steve Hansen, is the greatest rugby coach of our time,” Smith said from his Kobe base in Japan. “He has been a winning coach since the 1980s and at 72 retains the skills and sharpness he has been renowned for.” Henry’s latest stint as assistant coach with Alama Ieremia’s team, following his successful reign from 1992-97 which captured four titles, again demonstrated his love for rugby; his passion for Auckland and his ability to change along with the game and its players. “That win over Canterbury, in one of the best provincial finals ever, was a lesson in how to turn a team around through humility, respect and personal meaning,” Smith added. “Alama and Filo Tiatia deserve massive kudos for this. They also showed great foresight in getting Graham on board. Not only is Graham a great coach, he is also a wonderful mentor for players and people, from school kids through to the world’s best players.” Smith says when spending a weekend with “Ted” you are just as likely to be roped in to mentoring school leavers as you are involved in coaching somewhere.

Sir Graham Henry celebrates with Auckland players after their Mitre 10 Cup win.

He notes Henry has been known to man the barbecue alongside fellow Waiheke Island resident Peter Leitch, aka the Mad Butcher, another of life’s givers, to raise money for charity as well as willingly speaking at charitable events. Offering insight into Henry’s influence on his own career, Smith recalled the start of his coaching

tenure with the Crusaders in 1997 and, specifically, the New Zealand Rugby Union’s Super 12 conference he attended at the beginning of that season. “The keynote speaker was Graham Henry, who had coached the Blues to the first Super 12 title the year before. He proceeded to give all his secrets away. I couldn’t write down the ideas fast enough.

He provided a coaching blueprint that a young guy like me could base his programme on. “It taught me sharing your ideas is a critical part of improving. “The moment Graham walked out of that lecture theatre he was already planning to change everything he was doing with the Blues. He had forced himself to innovate, to create new ideas.

“He reinvented himself. And, the Blues went on to be even better in 1997. This is a pattern in Graham’s life.” Smith says when he, Henry, Hansen and scrum guru Mike Cron began leading the All Blacks together in 2004, they adhered to the traditional coaching model. “We coached and the players played. Only it wasn’t working that well. Along with the guidance of Gilbert Enoka, who incidentally has been as big a catalyst for a winning change in rugby as anyone in history, Ted began to shift the coaching paradigm. “BJ Lochore was another guiding hand and influential thinker, and together we changed the environment from one of authoritarian leadership and instruction to a model of dual ownership.” This shared responsibility model is one Auckland adopted this season to evoke the best from their leadership group; one the All Blacks continue to use with great success, and one countless professional teams around the world now attempt to replicate. “Great leaders emerged, the decisions were no longer made unilaterally by the coaches, and players became more accountable for their own preparation and performance. “The genius of Graham was to understand the need for change, to lead it and trust the people around him to help guide it. “The genius of Steve Hansen has been to continue that growth and, in his own way, drive forward a paradigm that is changing the rugby world. Graham is part of this legacy.” - NZME

■■OPINION

Hansen growing a new crop of All Blacks By Gregor Paul Seen through English eyes, the All Blacks are giving test caps away this weekend with a casual disregard for the integrity of international rugby. Ask the All Blacks coaches and they say they are building their next team, developing a new generation of players, many or most of whom will be heavily involved post 2019. One view makes good headlines, the other makes good sense and New Zealanders should be thankful they have an All Blacks coach whose skin is thick enough and whose conviction in his own judgement strong enough to pursue a strategy that is most definitely the right one even if there are screaming voices of dissent. If you are unsure whether Steve Hansen has made the right selection for the test against Japan, then think about this. If there is an accusation to be thrown this weekend about

devaluing tests, then it could be hurled at England who have picked a pack to play against South Africa that only has 60 caps when it doesn’t include the 92 brought by Dylan Hartley. England’s back row has a combined total of 10 caps, which is less than the 13 the All Blacks will be fielding in Tokyo. England coach Eddie Jones hasn’t done this by choice, but by necessity because so many of the players he wanted to pick are currently smashed up and limping around. Jones has been forced to pick an England team to play a mustwin, Tier One test at home with just 160 test caps in the pack. The All Blacks, who are supposedly devaluing the jersey, have picked a pack that has 113 test caps in it to play a Tier Two team. What’s devaluing test rugby is the insanity of having so much of it combined with ever expanding club programmes. England are the most obvi-

ous victims of circumstance and that will become more apparent next week when they play the All Blacks in a fixture that has been feverishly anticipated for two years. When the two sides meet, England will most likely have a starting pack with about 160 test caps combined. The All Blacks will have a starting pack with about 520 caps in it and with the benefit of having had a week off. Whose position would New Zealanders rather be in…England’s or the All Blacks’? And that’s why Hansen is selecting the way he is – not to devalue the All Blacks jersey but to preserve and enhance its proud legacy. He would be shot if he had no choice but to select the team he has for Japan against England because of injuries forced as a result of over playing the best players. What he’s doing is strategically avoiding a catastrophe and tak-

ing a calculated risk that the All Blacks’ second tier of talent will be good enough to beat Japan and in the process, take a step towards readying themselves to graduate into the top tier. And that’s the other point worth making – the All Blacks starting team in Tokyo is not full of players we will never see again at this level. Two of the back three are in the original 32-man ‘proper’ squad and Nehe MilnerSkudder is a genius hoping to recover his best form. There’s a reasonable chance Sonny Bill Williams and Ryan Crotty will both move on after the World Cup and Ngani Laumape and Matt Proctor are likely to become All Blacks regulars. Richie Mo’unga doesn’t need any explanation as to how good he is, while Luke Whitelock, Vaea Fifita, Jackson Hemopo and Patrick Tuipulotu are all in the frame to go to the World Cup. Dane Coles is world class, Ofa Tuungafasi will go to the World

Cup as the man who can cover both sides and Angus Ta’avao is the third-ranked tighthead in the country and only ever an injury away from a full call-up. The bench, where six of the new caps sit, is where the All Blacks have been forced to dig deeper into their talent pool than they normally would but that was the cost of sending the top team to London early. They didn’t want to have to ask a handful of frontliners to stay in Japan to man the bench – hence the army of extra players being brought over. Ultimately the question about devaluing the jersey can’t be properly answered for a few weeks yet until we see results and performances. But if the All Blacks win their next three tests and play well in the process, will those who have coined the term ‘confetti caps’ stick to that belief or will they see Hansen’s selections as the smart strategic play which it is?

■■WASHDYKE PREVIEW

In brief

Butt content with Astound David Butt has driven over 1100 winners but these days he has contented himself with driving just one horse in his brilliantly-bred maiden trotter Astound. Butt has not won a race since Wilma’s Mate took out the 4YO Ruby at the Harness Jewels in June last year, but Astound will not be long clearing maiden ranks and that could easily come at Washdyke on Saturday. The four-year-old daughter of Majestic Son and the first foal from Habibti was placed on a number of occasions last season and showed she has come back from a spell “stronger and better” when she resumed with a third behind Majestic Hurricane and Kings Landing at Addington two weeks ago. Astound was beaten by seven lengths that night, but there was certainly no disgrace in the performance. “Astound is going good enough to win a couple of races before too long,” Butt said. “We gave a little bit of thought to chucking her in foal this season and racing on a bit, but as we have another filly from Habibti now, we decided to race her for another year and maybe she can win some more races before we retire her next season. “She was a bit nutty for a while there but she’s been better this year and hopefully she might improve a bit more.” That second filly from form top racemare, Habibti, is a yearling by Andover Hall called Resolve. He will be broken in by Butt after New Zealand Cup week.

M2

David Butt is content with Astound. “She was a late foal so Habibti was only bred the once last season (to Kadabra) and missed. “She was booked to Muscle Hill this season, but the semen hadn’t arrived, so she was served by Father Patrick.” Astound was the result of an embryo trans-

fer when Habibti was a four-year-old, having completed an outstanding three-year-old season. Then, she won multiple Group race features, headed by the NZ Trotting Derby over Blitzthemcalder, Royal Aspirations and Sheemon in a national record 3.13.5. From that season she really only showed glimpses of her best, twice reducing the national 2600m trotting record for mares from a stand. On the second occasion Habibti came off 20m to beat Sheemon, Stent and Master Lavros in the Canterbury Park Trotting Cup in 3.16.7, a record which has since been reduced to 3.14.8 by her sister Habibti Ivy. Butt also rates his other starter at the meeting in Son Of A Tiger a winning chance although he’s hoping for a scratching to bring him into the front line, as “he’s a good beginner”. Son Of A Tiger was also third when resuming at Addington a few weeks ago and then “never got into it” after drawing the second line in a 2400m mobile at Ashburton won in 2.57, home in 26.5sec. Astound and Son Of A Tiger make up half of Butt’s racing for the moment, with Doitson at Addington this week and last start winner Rollova due back at the trials next week after a freshen up. “Rollova will race at Ashburton during cup week, while Doitson will start one of the days at Addington.” - NZ Harness News

Start in balance The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained Zacada is currently 24th in order of entry for the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) on Tuesday, but he will be relying on results to go his way at Flemington on Saturday in order to retain his spot in the field. The Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) runnerup’s spot could be taken by the winner of the Gr.3 Lexus Stakes (2500m) or Thinkin’ Big, who will contest the Gr.1 VRC Derby (2500m). His trainers have been pleased with his work this week and are just hoping he can make the field for the two-mile feature.

Waller keen Trainer Chris Waller believes he holds a strong hand in Saturday’s Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) with stablemates Invincibella and former Kiwi Shillelagh. “I expect both horses to be very hard to beat,” Waller said. “Shillelagh won on this day last year in the Kennedy Mile against the boys and she returns to her own sex here, under weight for age conditions. “Her runs have been very good, she wasn’t suited by the style of race last start in the Toorak but still hit the line well and has come through that race in good form. “Prior to that she ran a very creditable race in a strong edition of the Epsom Handicap.”

Saturday, November 3, 2018

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Most people say more than they need to. The classy way is to think about what you need to say, and then say a little bit less than that. You’ll be pleased by the effectiveness of today’s exchanges. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re more self-sufficient than most. Even so, it would be ludicrous to claim people’s attitudes toward you don’t matter. You thrive with certain kinds of attention, and you suffer with other kinds. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Everyone who lives has injuries of some sort. And everyone who lives has access to the great healer – time. Wanting the healing process to be faster won’t make it so. Patience looks good on you. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to tell someone how much they mean to you. Those moments have too many built-in expectations, making it hard to hit the right note. Give when no one expects. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): With so many options, your main challenge will be to understand your own needs better and then focus on what’s going to make a difference to you. Do this, and you’ll be unstoppable. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s good stress and there’s bad stress. No matter how pressured you may be today, consider resting for five minutes of every waking hour to stave off the bad kind of stress. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It is very difficult to discover your own blind spots. Trust that they’re there. When someone points out where you’ve made a mistake, this is a gift. You’ll be grateful for the enlightenment. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When you said you’d love someone forever, you weren’t lying. The love will take on many different forms though, because love is immaterial. Love is a flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Part of what makes you such a wonderful conversationalist is that you’re curious about how other people live. Today, it also might lead you to learn more than you wanted to know. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Setbacks are normal, just don’t give them too much attention. Have faith in the inherent qualities and powers of good. Truth over time equals change for the better. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It doesn’t matter that actions speak louder than words if the two are saying the same thing. In your case, they will be, and the effect is a sort of stereophonic brilliance. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): A life without risk is a life without happiness. Though happiness isn’t always a risky proposition, sooner or later an element of danger will stand between you and your wishes.
