■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Range of options for paying rates

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The level of unpaid rates might be rising, but that’s more a reflection of higher rates rather than an inability of property owners to pay their bills, says Ashburton District Council finance manager Sandy Hogg.

With two rating instalments for the current year ticked off, Hogg said that compared to many local authorities, the district’s ratepayers have a pretty good record of meeting their rating requirements.

Christchurch City has watched its unsettled rates increase by nearly 1000 properties over the past year, but in the Ashburton District the number of properties with outstanding rates is pretty consistent year to year, Hogg said.

“I think this can be put down to the options we offer our ratepayers and we’re pretty proactive if we see that people are starting to fall behind.”

One of the best used schemes and one that many more people could be using is the rates rebates option, she said.

Most property owners with an income of $33,000 or less are eligible for some form of rates relief. This is income based and that means a person on a benefit receiving a small amount of interest could still be looking at some level of rebate.

“I’d urge people to have a look at it, it’s worth doing because it’s based on income, not on investment.”

By using a system that balances rates against income a property owner could be eligible for a maximum rebate of

$620 this year, she said.

Eligibility can be checked on the council’s website or by visiting the council and talking to staff.

A less well used and less well known option is the rates postponement scheme. This could see ratepayers take what amounts to a rates holiday for several years, with the debt accumulating and paid off when their property is sold.

It costs $300 to set up and there’s an annual fee of $50 plus a small annual security fee. The set-up fee covers consultation sessions to ensure the property owner and family members understand the postponement deal.

The benefit of that scheme, Hogg said, is that once you sign on you can still continue paying your rates if you are able to do so as the amount to be postponed is only calculated at the end of the rating year. Fees are paid each year, however, whether rates are paid in full or not.

Property owners must sign up each year to remain in the scheme.

The council also offers payment options that can be as frequent as weekly to spread the rates burden.

Every effort is made to ensure ratepayers have a payment schedule they can manage, she said.

“We do everything we can to make it as easy as possible. We try to bring the level down by being as proactive as possible.

There are lots of options available, people just need to contact us.”

■ WORLD SANDWICH DAY

Hundreds take up two-for-one deal

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

World Sandwich Day went off with a bang at Subway Ashburton yesterday.

Crowds flocked to the West Street store to snap up the twofor-one Subway deal and free cookies, with lines out the door and staff filling sandwiches at a frenetic pace.

Franchise owner Tony Corbett said by lunchtime the store had prepared well over 500 subway

sandwiches for happy customers.

“We’re expecting to sell around 1200 to 1500 by the end of the day,” he said.

“On a normal day we’d make around 400, so it’s about three times above average.”

For every sub sold, a donation was also put towards helping feed Kiwis in need through the charity KiwiHarvest.

“Our store alone will probably raise about $1000,” he said.

Corbett said staff had begun

baking and preparing ingredients at 2am yesterday morning. He had cooked up breakfast for them and prepared a supply of energy drinks, snacks and Berocca to help keep the energy levels up.

Sub-Dude entertained the queues and dished out the cookies, while 13 staff at a time manned the decks.

It was the first event of its kind at Subway, and it was simultaneously celebrated by stores right across the world.

Police payout for Dotcom, ex-wife Kim Dotcom and his former wife Mona have accepted a confidential settlement from the police over the raid which saw him arrested, saying he did so to protect their children and because the Government “recently changed for the better”.

He said that previous desire to see accountability had been trumped by wanting to “do

Allen’s Ashburton offer a great service

what was best for our children” by bringing an end to the court case.

The settlement came after a damages claim was filed with the High Court over what was considered an “unreasonable” use of force when the anti-terrorism Special Tactics Group raided his $30 million mansion in January 2012.

The raid was part of a worldwide FBI operation to take down Dotcom’s Megaupload file-sharing website which was claimed to be at the centre of a massive criminal copyright operation.

Dotcom and three others were arrested and await extradition to the United States on charges which could land them in prison for decades.

Vehicle ploughs into East St fountain

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Onlookers received a surprise when a vehicle went swimming in the East Street fountain yesterday.

At around 11.30am a driver lost control of their vehicle, ploughing through two concrete bollards and into the fountain opposite the East Street/Tancred Street intersection.

One person received moderate injuries in the crash and was transported to Ashburton Hospital by St John Ambulance staff.

Two police cars and two ambulances were present at the scene, and a tow truck helped to remove the vehicle while a number of onlookers watched on. The area was cleared by around 11.50am.

The front portion of the vehicle was badly damaged in the collision. The impact also damaged the rockwork around the fountain, and two concrete bollards were knocked over.

It wasn’t just ducks swimming in the East Street fountain yesterday.

Constant assessment ‘too much’

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

With a review of NCEA looming under the Labour-led Government, Mid Canterbury’s principals are hoping any future changes will steer away from assessment.

NCEA was introduced 15 years ago, and is due to be reviewed in 2018 by the Ministry of Education.

Although details have not yet been released concerning exactly what will be reviewed, NCEA has hit the headlines for issues regarding “constant assessment” which allegedly ramps up student anxiety and loads unman-

ageable workloads on teachers.

According to a report by the Ministry of Education, other critics have also argued that NCEA puts too much emphasis on internal assessment and awards too many opportunities for reassessment.

Ashburton College principal Ross Preece said he is confident that NCEA effectively serves the needs of his Year 11, 12 and 13 Ashburton College students, and equips them with skills for the future.

“NCEA is certainly far preferable to the old nonsense of the School Cert system,” he said.

“In School Cert, 50 per cent of

students were destined to fail.

And when you’re telling 15-yearolds that they’re a failure, it’s not great for their progress.”

However, he said personally he would like to change the amount of internal assessment, and decrease the marking pressures on staff.

Preece said a successful system would promote an ability to communicate and to collaborate, rather than to “regurgitate material”.

“Every country in the world is considering dropping external exams,” he said, “and I would hate to take a huge backwards step and go back towards the old sys-

tem.” Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs did not express a clear opinion on whether he thought NCEA was effective, but echoed Preece’s sentiments and said it is “better than a system in which 50 per cent of the population fail.”

“It’s reactive to things happening and I don’t think the system is necessarily well understood by parents,” he said.

“But there have been issues with over-assessment … and we need to look at the workload on teachers, but also on students.”

Schreurs also said that “though it’s not perfect,” NCEA is preferable to alternatives such as those

used in the United States involving even more frequent assessment.

“I think what’s most important is to recognise key competencies … and help create well-rounded students.”

Under the new Labour-led Government, other proposed education changes include axing the National Standards system for assessing progress among primary school students, and making the first year of tertiary education free.

This year’s NCEA external examinations begin next week on Thursday, and run until December 1.

■ SPECIAL BIRTHDAY

Rita turns 107 in style

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When Rita Turtill turned 107 yesterday, an internationally acclaimed opera singer was on hand to sing her happy birthday.

To the accompaniment of a keyboard and piano accordion, Judy Glenn sang her mother’s favourite song Glasgow Belongs to Me, with backing vocals from Rita’s fellow residents at Cameron Courts Resthome. There were balloons, party hats and best of all a birthday cake to ensure their celebrity resident’s birthday milestone was recognised in style.

For Rita it was a pretty exhausting day. She was up early and by mid-morning was ready to celebrate. Wearing a pink crown and immaculately turned out, she was happy to sit back and enjoy being fussed over and when her birthday cake arrived she was keen to blow out the candles and get down to the business of cutting the first slice.

As the messages of congratulations flowed in, Rita accepted each visitor with a gentle smile.

She might be hard of hearing, but the 107-year-old is still in good health. She enjoys regular outings in the resthome van and woe betide anyone who sits in her special seat. And she enjoys spending time in the garden. Her favourite flowers are roses.

“I’m being very well cared for here and there’s such good food, this is a nice, small, homey place,” she said.

Rita might now be well up the list of New Zealand’s oldest residents, but she’s still enjoying life, particularly a game of housie.

It surprises Rita that she’s living well beyond her 100th year as she was a sickly child, however, she has always maintained that happiness and being satisfied with your lot in life were keys to staying healthy.

Rita was born in Christchurch but moved with her family to Ashburton when her father Frank Smallbone opened a garage on Cass Street.

She went on to establish a career as a seamstress and later

In brief Assault unprovoked A man has suffered a broken jaw and several broken teeth, after a group of men tried to steal his food and then assaulted him.

The victim was walking down Wakefield St in central Wellington around 4.50am on Thursday, carrying takeaways, when he was approached by six men. Police said the group tried to grab his food, before turning on the man, knocking him to the ground and kicking him. The attack left him with a broken jaw and several broken teeth. The man was flown to New Plymouth hospital for surgery yesterday.

■ TROTT’S GARDENS

Gardens open up to the public

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The community will have an opportunity to stroll through a garden of international significance tomorrow when Trott’s Gardens opens its gates to the public.

The gardens, developed over more than 30 years by Alan and Catherine Trott, were sold in September to a charitable trust.

Trust chairman Robin Kilworth said the driver for the trust, made up of a number of local people, was not only to ensure the property was maintained to the standard set by the Trotts, but also to keep it in local hands.

Teams of volunteers now provide the garden workforce and an onsite manager has been employed.

To the gardening world there will be little change. The property will continue to open its gates to tour groups and will continue to hold its place in the horticultural world as a garden of international significance, Kilworth said.

On Sunday the public will have its first opportunity since the sale, to view the gardens. It’s an important occasion for the trust as will give people a chance to spend some time in a property that is now essentially community owned, she said.

There will be three opportunities to join tour groups that will be guided by Alan Trott. Numbers in each group will be limited to 50 and tours will run at 11.30am, 12.30pm and 1.30pm.

While the focus of the open day will be on the gardens, there will

“We’ve been working hard to have everything looking perfect for the day and we’re looking forward to people coming along to

Entry is free.

Port Hills fires report: ‘We need to improve’ A lack of co-operation between fire agencies and decisions made on the ground contributed to the Port Hills fires raging out of control earlier this year, according to an investigation.

Firefighters could have done better when responding to the Port Hills fires, the review has found.

The then New Zealand Fire Service (NZFS) and National Rural Fire Authority commissioned an independent operational review of the event to learn from their response.

The focus of the review, conducted by Alan Goodwin of the Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Authority Council (AFAC),

was to make recommendations on how the newly established Fire and Emergency New Zealand would carry out its duties in the future.

“The review found that while firefighters from across the agencies did a lot of things well there are areas we need to improve,” Fire and Emergency chief executive

Rhys Jones said.

“The Port Hills fires were one of the biggest and most complex in New Zealand’s history.

“We accept the review’s findings and have developed an action plan to set out how we will respond to meeting each of the recommendations,” Jones said.

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Top sporting stars from Mid Canterbury’s schools converged on the Ashburton Domain yesterday for an athletics face-off.

The annual Mid Canterbury County Athletics Sports day saw athletes from 20 different schools going head-to-head under the sun, watched by hundreds of onlookers.

Activities included long jump, high jump, shot put, sprints, discus, distance running and relays.

Primary Sports Co-ordinator Brooke Morshuis said the competitors had qualified through their performance at individual and cluster athletics days around the region.

Yesterday’s top competitors will progress to the Canterbury Athletics Day, which will be held on December 6 at the Ashburton Domain.

The events are organised by the Mid Canterbury Primary Schools’ Association.

Christchurch man escapes conviction over assault A Christchurch manager disguised as the Mr Four Square character who assaulted a teenager on a train travelling to the Auckland Darts Masters has avoided a conviction.

Giuseppe Lyle Vassalini, 32, yesterday admitted the August 12 assault on the Auckland train where he was dressed in the distinctive mask, shirt and white apron costume.

Two teens were travelling home on the same train as five men in costumes en route to the popular darts competition at the Trusts Arena in Henderson.

Two other people were treated for moderate injuries.

Sergeant Daniel Cleaver said the crash was near a sharp bend just north of the Towai Tavern.

The crash involved multiple vehicles.

The Serious Crash Unit attended the incident.

One child was injured after a collision between a car and school bus in Queenstown.

A police spokesperson said they were called to the crash on Frankton Road between Sugar lane and Yewlett Crescent at 3.49pm.

A St John spokesperson said two patients had been transported to Lakes District Hospital.

One patient was an 8-year-old girl with minor injuries, and another patient sustained serious injuries.

A person has been seriously hurt in a crash on State Highway 1 at Maungakawera, just south of Whangarei.

A St John ambulance spokeswoman said the incident involved a car and a motorcycle and happened just after 5pm.

One person had serious injuries, she said.

Vassalini also offered to make an emotional harm payment to the complainant.

Police took a neutral position on the discharge application, saying Vassalini was otherwise of good character.

Vassalini later spoke to police and admitted pushing the teen as described but denied that he intended to strike him with his head.

When Vassalini became aware that an incident had occurred, he came forward and helped police with their inquiries, Judge David Saunders said.

Judge Saunders said he was satisfied that a conviction would out of all proportion to the gravity of offending and granted the discharge without conviction.

He ordered Vassalini to pay the victim $750 in emotional harm compensation within seven days.

Two die in separate crashes on SH1 It was a day of carnage on New Zealand roads yesterday after two people died in separate crashes at opposite ends of the country.

A child was also injured after a collision between a car and school bus in Queenstown and a person was seriously hurt in a crash on State Highway 1 south of Whangarei.

One person died and three others suffered injuries after a four-vehicle crash in South Canterbury.

The accident happened on Waimate Highway, State Highway 1, near Morven.

A St John spokesperson confirmed one person was dead in the crash. One person was in a serious condition and two were in a moderate condition.

The seriously injured patient would likely be flown to Dunedin Hospital. The two moderately injured patients were taken to Timaru Hospital.

The state highway has been closed and diversions are in place at the intersections of Barnetts Rd and Hornsnells Rd. The Serious Crash Unit have been advised.

In a separate crash in Northland, a female died after a collision just north of Towai.

shburton broke new ground in New Zealand when it established a community charitable foundation and it is still one of the country’s best examples of community philanthropy, says Sir Stephen Tindall.

The Tindall Foundation founder was in Ashburton this week as guest speaker at an evening held to celebrate Advance Ashburton’s work over the past year.

He was there when the Advance Ashburton Charitable Foundation was launched 14 years ago as its guide and mentor and yesterday said he now counts it as New Zealand’s second most successful foundation.

He puts that success down to a combination of being a community that is able to give and one where people are passionate about their community and its future.

“It’s locally based and people can get involved. They can direct their donations and grants to things they’re passionate about,” he said.

Through the Tindall Foundation he has provided the start-up support to dozens of charitable foundations across New Zealand.

Like many men of his generation, Tindall’s wealth hasn’t been handed to him, it’s a result of hard work, determination and sound business nous.

He grew up in the Auckland suburb of Bayswater in the days when there was no connecting road bridge to the city, just a ferry.

As a child he quickly made the link between work and money, mowing lawns and delivering groceries on a bike for the local Four Square store and in the school holidays working for his father in his hardware shop.

Tindall also grew up in a multigenerational home with his greatgrandmother and his grandmother, as well as his parents and sister.

He admits he was probably genetically programmed to go into the retail industry.

His great-grandfather founded a traditional department store in Auckland and his father owned a hardware store. As a school leaver he divided his time between working in the store his great grandfather founded and studying business at university.

Sir Stephen Tindall, philanthropist and retail maestro.

“I started on the ground floor and worked my way up. It was at a time when Brierleys were taking over stores. I could see the writing on the wall and I knew I’d be part of the management team casualty,” he said.

Tindall decided to jump ship before he was pushed overboard and in 1982 started a small business in a small shop. He called it The Warehouse.

With limited finance he knew he couldn’t afford to buy stock and sourced suppliers who would send goods on a sale-or-return basis.

“It was the rats and mice, endof-line stuff they couldn’t sell and I thought, ‘let’s see how this goes. If I’m lucky I might eventually have two or three shops’,” he said.

He did more, much more. Today Tindall’s business empire includes 94 red sheds, 72 Stationery Warehouses, 62 Noel Leeming stores and 14 Torpedo stores, plus online businesses.

He admits his timing was impeccable. Change was sweeping through the retail industry as older retail stores such as Woolworths, McKenzies and traditional department stores were in a transition phase.

History is repeating with retail now going through another era of change, one that will be far more dramatic than anything in the past, he said.

“Who knows what it will look like in 10 years’ time. Bricks and mortar retailing won’t disappear, but it will be very, very different.”

Online retail would continue to grow and continue to erode traditional retail, but there were still huge opportunities for savvy retailers to trade through the click-andcollect model, because the most expensive aspect of online business was delivery, Tindall said.

He sees major changes ahead in the way retailers advertise, saying marketing would be very targeted

rather than shot gun – “show me you know me” is the catchphrase, he said.

“When I learned retail 47 years ago maybe 2 per cent of customers who read an ad would respond.

With ‘show me you know me’ you’ll only put product in front of people you know will need it. By making offers only of things that are relevant to them you’ll get a 40 per cent response rate.”

Europe, the UK and the United States were good benchmarks for New Zealand in terms of retail as generally they were four or five years ahead in trends, Tindall said.

“There’s been a massive demise of retail bricks and mortar and there are whole malls going out of business all across the US.” And Ashburton, he said, did not appear to be over-shopped in spite of empty spaces in its CBD. Across his retail network, Tindall said stores were changing to meet changing customer needs – stock

was being reduced, the stationery stores were moving into red sheds and product stocked was becoming more targeted to specific customer needs.

It’s not all doom and gloom in New Zealand, however, Tindall said.

“The reduction in bricks and mortar is only 9 per cent in New Zealand, in some countries it’s up to 30 per cent.

It probably won’t get that high in New Zealand, but it will grow from 9 per cent. Retailers will either have to go online, or else be very, very customer focused.”

With international online businesses now able to deliver product within three days, the local advantage of immediacy had almost gone, Tindall said “And that means the key to survival will be customer service.”

Across all sectors people had to be prepared for greater automation of jobs and whole industries would

Stephen Tindall Massive year for Advance Ashburton Advance Ashburton Charitable Foundation celebrated its 14th year of providing funds, grants and donations to the community this week. Its chairman Trevor Croy reflects on the foundation’s strongest year yet.

change dramatically, he said.

“I still have a lot of faith that automation won’t kill jobs completely.”

The best way New Zealanders can ensure New Zealand businesses survive is by supporting those – bricks and mortar and online – that keep their profits onshore, Tindall said.

By 1994 with his retail businesses trading well, Tindall decided he wanted to share some of the financial rewards with others and the Tindall Foundation was established. Through this the Tindall family began donating to communities and organisations in need of support.

Between 1995 and 2014 the Tindall Foundation donated more than $135 million to help communities across New Zealand – and it paid another $116 million in tax.

Today the foundation gives an average of $9 million to $12 million away each year through six pro-

gramme areas.

His wife Margaret and their five children are all involved in the foundation The Tindall children have also established the Next Gen funding programme. That funds a limited number of selected initiatives that use the arts to engage with, and support, vulnerable young people, giving them the opportunities to express themselves and gain confidence and lifelong skills.

Tindall is officially on a oneyear leave from his charities and businesses to allow him to tackle the job of chairing the Team New Zealand board, but during his Ashburton visit he admitted old habits die hard – he still took time to call into his three Ashburton businesses, The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery and Noel Leeming.

“I still can’t drive by a store and not go in. For me it’s all about the culture, culture will eat strategy for breakfast.”

he Advance Ashburton Charitable Foundation has been in business for 14 years and last year was its biggest on record, says chairman Trevor Croy.

Over the years there was substantial growth in grants to causes in the Ashburton District, the foundation’s scholarship programmes had increased in number and value, its investment portfolio showed excellent returns and funds under management had increased from new and existing donors, he said.

“The trust’s purpose was finding projects and causes in the Ashburton District that were catalytic or transformational that make for a better place to live.

We’re motivated to make the district a better place by connecting generous local people with community causes that matter.”

The two stand-out projects for the year involved Ashburton Hospital. The first was the completion of the new acute admission unit and operating theatres together with the strengthening and refurbishment of existing buildings.

The foundation, along with the Mackenzie Charitable Foundation, Lochhead Charitable Trust, Lion Foundation, Wilson Bulk Transport and the Ashburton Licensing Trust contributed $1,500,000 to the project.

The second significant project was the establishment of the Rural Health Academic Centre based at Ashburton Hospital.

“This initiative has seen our hospital become a teaching and research hospital in addition to its usual service delivery functions,”

Trevor Cro

y

Croy said.

This has been achieved through a partnership with the Canterbury District Health Board, Otago University and ourselves with the initial setup funding coming from our foundation and the ongoing costs being shared equally with the Mackenzie Charitable Foundation.

Over the past year the trust donated 28 scholarships worth $59,000, funded a literacy programme that benefited more than 100 children, assisted Ashburton College with a new project, aided bowel cancer research and on behalf of the former Lochhead Charitable Trust gave land worth $470,000 to Methven’s Care Trust.

Six new named funds were established during the year, two from individuals, two from community organisations that have transferred their surplus assets to us and two were funds established for arts and heritage.

In the financial year to March 31 the trust received $714,456 of new donations and its accumulated funds are now just shy of $10 million.

Assets under management total $10.1 million with nearly $29 million of promised bequests in the future, Croy said.

Included in the foundation

assets is a property at Mona Square which is occupied by the Cancer Society and its remaining assets are being held in perpetuity, in a portfolio managed by its Investments Committee, assisted

by Andrew Withers of Forsyth Barr.

Returns on the portfolio amounted to a net 10.83 per cent (before tax) and operational costs were kept below 1 per cent of the total assets under management.

This ensured the donor funds were inflation-proof and 5 per cent could be allocated in grants during the year, he said.

The foundation’s patron is Roger Bonifant and its board members are Mary Ross (deputy chairwoman), Elizabeth Ashford, Gary Fail, Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel, Jack Allan, Jo Taylor, Nicki Webster and Chris Wylie.

After 10 years Anne Fleming retired from our board and executive officer Margaret Rickard also retired during the year after seven years in the job. During her tenure assets under management grew from $500,000 to more than $10 million and bequests from $2 million to more than $25 million.

Sandi Woods, a local banker has taken up the executive officer’s position.

Icebreaker clothing sold to US Icebreaker, an iconic New Zealand company, has been sold to a US company in a deal that is thought to be worth at least $100 million.

Auckland house sales fall in Oct The Auckland housing market was stable in October despite the political uncertainty, with prices steady although sales volumes dropped.

The number of sales fell to 634 in October from 778 in October 2016, the lowest in an October month for seven years, realtor Barfoot & Thompson said in a statement. New listings dipped 9 per cent on an annual basis to 1733, while stock available at the end of the month was 20 per cent higher than a year earlier at 4451.

New Zealand’s property market has been slowing through the course of this year as Reserve Bank restrictions on more highly-lever-

aged mortgage lending and tighter credit criteria being demanded by banks made it more difficult for borrowers, even as low interest rates made it easier to service much larger debts.

Quotable Value figures yesterday showed property value growth slowed to an annual pace of 3.9 per cent in October as inflated Auckland house prices fell for the first time in six years.

During the housing market’s last downturn in 2009 and 2010, sale prices remained largely static, with the slowdown showing up in smaller sales volumes, longer days to sell, and a build-up

in available listings.

Barfoot said the elongated lag between election night and government formation contributed to the low number of sales in October, and the market “is now well set for an active run into year end” as it enters what is traditionally the strongest sales period of the year.

The median sale price of $830,000 in October was unchanged from the same month a year earlier, and down 3.4 per cent from September, while the average price of $910,537 was down 3.5 per cent annually and 1.9 per cent in the month.

Icebreaker had annual sales of $220 million, of which 86 per cent were in offshore markets.

Buy local and everybody wins Matt Markham

T

oday marks the start of the Guardian’s Shop Local ‘N’ Win promotion.

And while there’s no hiding it’s a marketing tool and a drive for advertisers, the promotion, which runs for the next six weeks is just the surface of a story worth telling.

As a small community in the big pond, the requirement to support local businesses here in the Ashburton District is huge.

And frankly, without that support things would struggle.

Earlier this week we ran the story of how local bricks and mortar retailers will be in a fight for survival if locals choose to spend their money out of town, or online.

Bob McDonald’s message in the story was pretty simple.

Shop local if you want local retail to survive. And it’s hard not to agree.

By shopping at a local store you ensure that locals remain in jobs, the businesses remain open and that the district as a whole prospers.

We boast one of the best unemployment rates in the country due to the strong local nature of the workforce and we don’t want to see that discontinue at any point in the near future.

From a Guardian perspective, Shop Local ‘N’ Win is a huge opportunity for us to get behind the local businesses who have chosen to be a part of the promotion and we are urging you to do the same.

Some lucky local will win $2500 just before Christmas through the promotion, while the business at which they shop will also see benefits through advertising in these very pages.

With the festive season just around the corner, it’s important that we keep things on a local perspective.

We need Ashburton to continue to prosper and the last thing we want to see is more empty shop fronts because locals have been drawn to the big smoke or online to do their shopping.

There are more than 35 local businesses involved in Shop Local ‘N’ Win this year – all of whom are listed on Pages 8 and 9 of today’s Guardian.

So, make sure you lend them your support and give them your dollar, but not only them, if you need to buy, buy locally.

That way everybody wins.

10 things not to do this Christmas T

hese weeks leading up to Christmas, are perhaps the busiest, most hectic times of the year.

In the breathless rush to make the most of the season, it is easy to forget that this sacred season is less about “holiday cheer” and more about a “holy child”.

It is our opportunity – a gift from God in itself – to re-orient ourselves to receive the gift of Jesus. Here, in descending order, are the top 10 things not to do during this lead-up to Christmas: 10. Do not forget your rituals: Be careful not to treat this time as just another busy time of the year. Rituals in your personal and/or family life, can help you slow down and prayerfully ponder the gift of the Incarnation, the Son of God made flesh. Take time daily to relax, meditate or pray.

9. Do not add to the frenzy: If you are a parent, try not to add to the craziness of this season by being frantic yourself about last-minute shopping, entertaining or decorating.

8. Do not forget your Bibles: What Bible passages point to themes of preparation, promise, hope, expectancy, God’s enduring faithfulness, the time when God’s kingdom will be fulfilled? Advent

Joan Clark

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

is an excellent time of the year to familiarise yourself again with the Bible’s stories that lead up to the birth of Jesus.

7. Do not try to be perfect for the holidays: Believe it or not, it’s not the end of the world if the Christmas tree has a bare spot on one side, if a bulb in one of the window candles is burned out, or if you cannot find just the perfect gift for Uncle Bob. The holiday season can be stressful enough without allowing the drive for perfection to overwhelm you.

6. Do not overdo your schedule: Learn to say “no” to some of the demands or events that may beg for your presence, however enjoyable or good they may be. Know your limits. As the saying goes, “Too much of a good thing is still too much”.

5. Do not overdo gifts: I recently heard of a study that indicates children on average receive 60 per cent more for Christmas than they expect.

Very good news for parents, right? But it also indicates that while parents need to be

very clear with their children about expectations, ever more important is that they themselves need to be consistent with these expectations in their own gift giving.

Remember, the focus is Jesus, God’s supreme gift to us, not our gifts to others.

4. Do not go into additional debt: Perhaps this is easier said than done. However, it is important to remember that the gift-giving of Christmas is supposed to spring from and be a sign of our gratitude to God for his gift-giving of Jesus. Rather than large grandiose, expensive gifts, consider giving smaller, more thoughtful items.

3. Do not expect the culture to follow your lead: A truly Christian approach to Christmas will inevitably be counter-cultural. If you embrace much of this list, have faith in what you are doing. Christmas is not about a Martha Stewart-quality centre piece, the gourmet Christmas feast, or getting the “hot toy of the year”. Our spiritual health depends on our resisting the cultural message that we need to get out and “shop till we drop”. Jesus came into the world to die for a different reason.

2. Do not forget the less fortunate: Remember that

the real Christmas story is not set in a warm and cosy house, tastefully decorated and filled with more gifts than can fit under the tree, however wonderful that all may be. The real Christmas story is set amidst those who know enduring poverty and danger. What more loving witness could you offer than to seek out some holiday opportunity to identify with the poor and downtrodden as God does?

1. Do not wait until Christmas Eve to come to church! Avoid the holiday rush and join us for worship in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Worship in the church is beautiful this time of year, with beautiful and powerful hymns and songs. Join us for worship and allow it to bring you back to a sense of expectancy and alertness for the coming of God into our world, into your very life.

Mischief and stupidity from some Greek ‘Gods’

R

andy and Carl are two of the lesser-known Greek Gods. And for very good reasons.

Carl can simply be described as shallow, thick and slow, a bit like the current leader of supposedly the greatest nation on earth, while Randy is Bart Simpson with God powers. They are lesser known because Cronus, ruler of the Titans, kicked them out and banished them to Middle Earth where they have wreaked havoc ever since.

Carl, sadly, has been gifted the power to install a human into the position of Prime Minister on Middle Earth and make them do things. Randy has only a talent for persuading Carl to do what he wants in order to cause mayhem and mischief. Randy gets his kicks from creating confusion in Middle Earth’s inhabitants’ lives, much like Kim Jong Ping Pong delights in publicly executing relatives with surface-to-air missiles. Ping Pong is considering writing a book called The Red Mist.

Anyway, Carl was getting bored, (because he was a simpleton this did not take much), and turned to Randy for something to do.

“I know,” says Randy, “let’s play Dick-A-Round with Education again!”

Carl looked glumly on, he didn’t really know what that meant because it had a word in it with more than one syllable.

Fearing he might sound thick, he asked a question hoping to sound brainy.

A bit like when a former housing minister asked the media ‘What housing crisis?’

So Carl asked Randy – “Is that when I make the Prime Minister

pull someone’s hair? I don’t think that would work Randy ‘cos we have a new Prime Minister and he has got long hair and big teeth.”

“That’s because the Prime Minister is a woman and I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain that to you. No what I am talking about is telling our new Prime Minister to have her Education Minister make an immediate announcement.”

“

Somewhere a village has been robbed of an idiot.

“Carl, you are the reason this country had to put instructions on shampoo,” replied Randy.

“What I mean is remember when we made the last government invent wildly unrealistic standards of measuring learning, sold them as the cure to improve achievement and then threatened the teachers if they didn’t implement them? Well, now that they have stopped their moaning and gone back to wearing sandals and socks in a compliant manner, let’s take away those silly standards and tell them it was all a waste of time!”

“So will that mean the teachers will be mad again?” asked Carl. “I like it when we make the teach-

As one teacher wrote in a report to Carl’s parents – Somewhere a village has been robbed of an idiot.

“Oh,” says Carl. “Like I could get the dishonourable Crisp Napkins to say that all Middle Earth children are only allowed fizzy drinks and doughnuts for breakfast and then they would be silly all day at school and annoy their teachers! That would be fun! Shall I do that?”

Carl really didn’t like teachers because he was simply repulsive at school. As one teacher wrote in a report to Carl’s parents –

ers angry!”

“Even better Carl, my sub-moronic pimple-licking congenital idiot, they will be left bewildered because we won’t tell them what will replace them once they are gone.”

Now Carl was silent because he was sure he may have been insulted by what Randy had said, but he couldn’t be certain.

Eventually he decided to ask a question because he had learned

that smart people like politicians avoided answering tricky questions by asking one themselves.

“Will it be fun to watch?” asked Carl.

“Oh my precious Carl,” replied Randy. “I love how your brain works, even if your brains were dynamite they wouldn’t ruffle your hair. Of course it will be fun!”

Now Carl was really happy because Randy said he had brains and this game was going to be fun! So Carl began his preparations to make the Prime Minister tell the Education Minister to get rid of National Standards. First he chanted the ancient incantation Randy had taught him – “May the fleas of a thousand camels infest my armpits”. Carl said this three times.

Then Carl sent a telepathetic message via the interweb to the Prime Minister of Middle Earth, instructing her what to say.

He then finished by reciting his personal mantra: “The lights are flashing, the barrier arms are down, the bells are ringing but the train is not coming.”

Randy had told Carl this was a powerful chant about him that allowed him to keep his powers over the leaders of Middle Earth.

And so it came to pass that Randy and Carl amused themselves by playing Dick-A-Round with Education that left the teachers of Middle Earth happy, (not bewildered unbeknownst to Carl).

I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience as we have had with the above block buster ‘promotion’?

In early July we purchased a fridge from a local store.

A promotion running at this time promised cash giveaways.

This was not what made us buy this fridge, but I did apply for the ‘bonus’, which had to be done online.

The application was sent on or about July 12 and required a copy of the receipted invoice.

There was a slight hitch with the copy of the invoice, but eventually, on August 18, more than a month after the original application, I received the following email: Your claim is now with our promotion team for validation.

If your claim is approved you will receive an approval email from Haier (The manufacturer), and your bonus gift will be delivered within 45 days … Your proof

of purchase is attached for your reference. (Imagine, 45 days to process this!)

Several emails later they advised that the application had not been approved, as they required a clearer copy of the invoice, to which I replied, referring them to their earlier email with a copy attached. (Perfect clear copy).

Early emails were to the supplier and I am not sure where they are located. Either China or South Korea, or maybe even North Korea.

However, over the past two months, the correspondence has been with Fisher & Paykel.

I thought they would be a highly efficient organisation, but perhaps I am wrong.

Despite my protests, here we are nearly four months later, and no BLOCK BUSTER GIVEAWAY! My last email, voicing my complete frustration, has not even been acknowledged.

You can guess where we are NOT going, to buy a new washing machine and freezer.

Shooter ‘hostile loner’ A man arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting three people inside a suburban Denver Walmart has been described by neighbours as a hostile loner who cursed at them and often carried a shotgun in and out of his third-floor apartment.

Police arrested Scott Ostrem, 37, a day after the shooting that killed three people following a brief morning rush-hour chase in the northern Denver suburb of Thornton several blocks from his apartment building and about 8 kilometres from the Walmart.

Ostrem was handcuffed at a crowded intersection about 14 hours after the shooting, which killed two men and a woman and sent dozens of shoppers and workers fleeing in panic from the busy store.

Police did not disclose if they had not determined a motive for the shooting, but residents of the Samuel Park Apartments building where Ostrem lived described him as a rude man

Police guard the front entrance to Walmart where a shooting occurred.

Most of the building’s tenants talk to each other, but renter Teresa Muniz said Ostrem never returned her greetings and swore at people for sitting on exterior stairways and leaving laundry in com-

munal machines.

“He didn’t seem to have anybody,” she said. “Being angry all the time. That’s what he seemed like, always angry.”

Gerald Burnett, a 63-yearold retiree who lives in a firstfloor unit, said he was sitting

on the stairs drinking coffee one morning when Ostrem came down, told him to move and cursed at him.

“Dude had an attitude, big time,” Burnett said. “He’s the type of person if you said ‘good morning,’ he wouldn’t say nothing. If you greeted him, he wouldn’t say anything back. I just learned not to even talk to the clown.”

Witnesses said the shooter walked calmly into the Thornton Walmart, opened fire and fled.

Marlena and Jason Fobb said they were paying for a vacuum and contact lenses when a man at a nearby register was shot.

“We were all looking at each other like, oh gosh, this is it,” Marlena Fobb said.

The couple and others hid in a small storage room, she said.

When officers arrived, they told them to “hurry and run” and not look at bodies, she added.

Mutiny threat on Coro St Coronation Street bosses have denied the soap has been plunged into mayhem after staff are said to be “threatening to walk out”. The behind the scenes workers are said to have been hit hard by the new six-episode weeks. And the new working hours mean that many have had their annual leave cut in the run-up to Christmas. “Corrie bosses are facing a mutiny if nothing is done to change what’s happening behind the scenes,” a source said. “They’re short staffed and overworked and the crew have had enough. It’s been made worse since they started filming six episodes a week.

Canadian drug mule sentenced in Australia A Canadian drug mule will spend four and a half years in an Australian jail after admitting she tried to smuggle 30 kilograms of cocaine into Sydney on a cruise ship to clear a $A20,000 debt.

Isabelle Lagace, 29, arrived in Sydney on the Sea Princess in late August 2016, having boarded the ship in England before travelling to Ireland, the US, Bermuda, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile.

Australian Border Force officials found a suitcase containing about 30kg of cocaine in her shared cabin, later

estimated to be worth up to $A21.5 million.

Late last year, Lagace pleaded guilty to importing a commercial quantity of a bordercontrolled drug but claimed to have been given an ultimatum about clearing an $A20,000 debt to an unnamed person.

She also claims she began to receive threats and was told her debt would be cleared if she provided a bag to another passenger to be filled with a substance.

In evidence presented to the NSW District Court on Friday, Lagace admitted she took full

responsibility for her actions.

“I have embarrassed my family, my friends, myself,” she said.

“It pains me to know that my defining years of womanhood will be spent in prison halfway around the world.”

Judge Kate Traill said the defendant had a job, an apartment and a support network when she decided to go through with the plan.

“There were many choices open to her to pay the debt,” she told the court.

The judge also rejected as “vague and imprecise” the

woman’s claims of a threat, noting she was non-responsive and evasive when asked to elaborate.

But Lagace had good prospects of rehabilitation and a solid support network, Judge Traill said.

She imposed a sentence of seven years and six months, however, after the non-parole period was backdated to her arrest date Lagace will likely be released in February 2021.

Lagace said she was angry to have been involved with the “dirty, filthy drug trade”.

Hidden chamber found in pyramid

UK interest rate up for first time in decade

Scientists have found a hidden chamber in Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza, the first such discovery in the structure since the 19th century.

In an article published in the journal Nature on Thursday, an international team said the 30-metre void deep within the pyramid is situated above the structure’s Grand Gallery, and has a similar cross-section.

The purpose of the chamber is unclear.

The scientists made the discovery using cosmic-ray imaging, recording the behaviour of subatomic particles called muons that penetrate the rock similar to X-rays, only much deeper.

Their paper was peer-reviewed before appearing in

Nature, an international, interdisciplinary journal of science.

The pyramid is also known as Khufu’s Pyramid for its builder, a 4th Dynasty pharaoh who reigned from 2509 to 2483 BC. Visitors to the pyramid, on the outskirts of Cairo, can walk, hunched over, up a long tunnel to reach the Grand Gallery.

The newly discovered chamber does not appear to be connected to any known internal passages.

Scientists involved in the scanning called the find a “breakthrough” that highlighted the usefulness of modern particle physics in archaeology.

“This is a premier,” said

Mehdi Tayoubi, a co-founder of the ScanPyramids project and president of the Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute. “It could be composed of one or several structures ... maybe it could be another Grand Gallery. It could be a chamber, it could be a lot of things.”

“It was hidden, I think, since the construction of the pyramid,” he added.

The pyramids at Giza, the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, have captivated visitors since they were built as royal burial chambers 2500 years ago Experts are still divided over how they were constructed, so even relatively minor discoveries generate great interest.

The Bank of England has raised its key interest rate for the first time in a decade as it seeks to dampen down inflation largely stoked by last year’s Brexit vote.

In a statement on Thursday, the bank said its rate-setting body had increased the benchmark rate to 0.5 per cent from the record low of 0.25 per cent.

Rate-setters were faced with a dilemma during their deliberations. Though inflation is running a full percentage point above their target rate of two per cent, the British economy has come off the boil since the vote to leave the European Union.

Meghan’s hawk-eyed fans and followers have spotted one very obvious change in her sartorial choices with some adamant that she’s adhering to the Queen’s dress-code rules. Meghan hadn’t been seen in her signature wardrobe item – shorts – since her relationship with Prince Harry became serious, Meghan’s style makeover due to the Queen’s reported ‘no knees’ rule.

“Another perfect BTS example of my full attention and work ethic during the live taping of tonight’s episode @ bigbangtheory_cbs,” Cuoco cheekily captioned the shot. Cuoco is known to keep things light-hearted on the set.

Heartland boys set to go

Baabaas providing a test trial

By Jaime Pitt-macKay

By Daniel Gilhooly

All three of Mid Canterbury’s representatives are set to start in the one-off match for the Heartland XV today.

Lock Eric Duff, loose forward Seta Koroitamana and utility back Jarred Percival will all hear the first whistle in the game against New Zealand Marist.

The game is being played at the Alpine Energy Stadium in Timaru, with the three players heading into camp on Tuesday.

However, it was meant to be four Hammers playing in the game until Maleli Sau was red carded in the Lochore Cup final, earning him a threeweek suspension.

Duff will start at lock alongside South Canterbury’s Kieran Coll, and may end up facing off against his Mid Canterbury team-mate Angus Lindsay, who was named in the Marist side alongside winger Christian Vainerere.

Koroitamana will play at openside flanker, working in the back of the scrum with Poverty Bay’s Siosiua Moala and Wanganui’s Bryn Hudson.

Percival starts at first-five, and will have to build a quick relationship with Buller halfback Andrew Stephens, and North Otago second-five Lemi Masoe.

Jerome Kaino, Scott Barrett and a handful of fringe backs are among those playing for All Blacks test spots when they face the Barbarians at Twickenham.

While the club side are vowing to play attacking rugby in the tour opener, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is treating the match like a test – with “wriggle room”.

It also doubles as a trial of sorts ahead of three tour tests, against France, Scotland and Wales.

The last-start loss to the Wallabies in Brisbane has made some positions more contestable, most notably at lock.

Barrett has struggled in the last three tests to fill the enormous boots of Brodie Retallick, with the world class forward having taken an extended break for personal reasons.

Fourteen-test veteran Barrett admitted he hasn’t enjoyed his best form, a blunt self-assessment which Hansen didn’t dispute.

“It was probably a pretty honest appraisal from Scotty. It’d be good if he steps up,” Hansen said.

“There’s been an opportunity there for a few weeks. It’s just waiting for someone to take it.”

Barrett’s locking partner this week is the more test-hardened Luke Romano, who impressed in a rare start against Argentina in Buenos Aires and could yet earn promotion to partner Sam Whitelock in Paris next week.

Kaino’s first All Blacks appearance since the British and Irish Lions series gives the 34-year-old a chance to prove he’s not ready for the test scrap heap.

Liam Squire and Vaea Fifita are mounting cases to take over permanently on the blindside flank but Hansen is reluctant to place pressure on Kaino, whose All Blacks debut featured a try against the Barbarians in 2004.

However, Hansen wants to see signs of the veteran’s trademark muscle.

“He’s a physical player, a good ball-runner,” Hansen said.

“He won’t have had a lot of rugby so the gas tank will be running on empty pretty, I’d suggest.

“I’ve told him, I don’t care if you play 30 minutes. Just give me everything you’ve got and then we can build on that.”

Further out, the likes of midfield backs Anton Lienert-Brown and Ngani Laumape; wingers Waisake Naholo and Seta Tamanivalu; and fullback David Havili aren’t out of test contention.

Rather than trying to match the Baabaas’ expected fireworks, Hansen wants his backline to play with structure, at least to begin with.

“There’s plenty of wriggle room (to play expansively) but you’ve got to earn the right to do that first,” he said.

“Our guys like to play, it’s in their DNA. But a lot of spilled ball gives a lot of opportunities.

“We need to look after the rugby ball.”

All Blacks v England clash ‘simmering’ By liam naPier England and Eddie Jones have been the elephant in the Lensbury room this week.

While not immediately relevant, given the All Blacks don’t face England for another year, local scribes have been keen to stoke fires and keep the most anticipated test in world rugby simmering along.

Every time the All Blacks have spoken to the media they have been peppered with questions about whether they are disappointed about not playing England on this tour, and whether they would rather face them than the Barbarians at Twickenham on Sunday (NZT).

Players and management have largely batted away the hypothetical probes – Anton LienertBrown even copped a gentle ribbing from England supporters at a promotional event.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, as he so often does, swiftly tackled the issue head on when it was suggested this week’s young squad would be keen to ‘make a statement’ in England’s backyard.

“You guys love saying that,” Hansen said.

“I remember we lost in 2012 to England and it was ‘oh this is going to ruin your World Cup’.

“There’s so much water to go under the bridge. Things like that aren’t even on our mind.”

Steve Hansen has plenty of praise for England rival Eddie Jones.

Hansen was warmer in his praise for Twickenham as a venue, though couldn’t resist a subtle jibe about the revenue disparity which has become a hot topic in regards to the Samoan team of late.

The Samoan union is close to bankruptcy. Its players will earn £650 each, while England’s pocket £22,000 from their match at Twickenham.

Under the established revenue arrangement which sees the home nation retain gate earnings, that is essentially deemed fair and equal in the eyes of those running the game.

“It’s one of the great grounds in world rugby and it holds a lot of

people so it will have a great atmosphere.

“I’m not sure if they’ll sing swing low ... but they can if they want to.

“People are excited about rugby in England and that’s a credit to the rugby union and the England team. It would be nice if we had the population to fill stadiums up like that too; then we’d have a bit more money ... England might want to share a bit eh?”

As for Jones, his name was inevitable lobbed into the conversation.

Last week when he announced his squad for the November internationals Jones praised the All Blacks for setting the bar about

how to evolve between World Cups.

Jones mentioned expanding depth, experimenting with the way they’ve played – noting the All Blacks had slowed the pace at times when everyone else tried to speed things up – and deliberately putting themselves under pressure, all with the World Cup in mind.

“They are equipping themselves so if that happens, they are ready,” Jones said.

“They can play the game slow too because they’ve got the best lineout in the world and the second-best or best scrum in the world.”

Hansen did his best to turn on the charm and return serve.

“Eddie is on the ball – he’s got a dossier on everything we’re doing.

“We’re trying to do things subtly different so we’ve got a game that’s more complete.

“It’s nice to get a compliment from Eddie. He’s doing a good job with England and that’s wonderful for rugby.

“I know everyone is excited about playing them next year, as they are of us. We will worry about that when the time comes.

“The hardest part about a compliment is accepting it.

“Most of us are a bit shy in taking it.

“We’ll take it, particularly off Eddie because he’s a good coach and he’s a good man too.”- NZME

In brief Massive NRL pay deal The NRL will have the power to access players’ personal records for integrity matters as part of the biggest pay deal in the game’s history. The five-year $980 million Collective Bargaining Agreement will afford players a 29.5 per cent share of forecast game revenue, while the salary cap will be set at $9.4 million next season and rise to about $10 million in 2022 as part of a 52 per cent pay rise.

Southern the top club

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Rakaia and Southern dominated the major awards at this year’s Mid Canterbury Rugby Union Awards last night.

Southern were awarded the club of the year award, while first team captain Eric Duff was named the union’s Heartland player of the year.

Rakaia’s Sean Carter was presented with the Neville Goodwin Memorial Trophy for coach of the year.

After leading the Heartland team for points scored this season, Jarred Percival was named as back of the year, on top of being voted the players’ player of the year.

Despite starting several games on the bench and missing one due to suspension, the impact of loose forward Seta Koroitamana could not be ignored, and he was named forward of the year.

Energetic reserve hooker Phill Mills was awarded the best team man award.

Southern took a clean sweep of all six senior grade awards, but the individual awards were shared around the clubs, with

Celtic’s Sam Watt securing the best open grade captain award.

The positive play award went to the Methven seniors, while the Celtic colts won the Roy Smith Memorial for best conduct and best dress.

Rakaia’s Tomas Hanham-Carter took out the MB Roulston Cup for most points in senior rugby.

Despite losing both, making the final of the Watters Cup and Combined Competition was enough for Rakaia coaches Sean Carter and Wayne Foxcroft to win the open grade coach of the year.

Welcoming back Jarryd Hayne won’t benefit Parramatta, Eels great Mick Cronin says. The four-time Eels premiership winner believes Hayne owes the Gold Coast Titans some loyalty and fears the NRL star will use Parramatta as another pit stop on his code-hopping journey.

Parramatta is firming as Hayne’s next destination after a report claimed his agent was seeking a Titans release so the ex-NFL player could be closer to his daughter in Sydney in 2018. Hayne had only triggered a $1.2 million 2018 Titans option months ago.

Friendly rivalry urged Samoa have urged fans to show respect after street violence marred the lead-up to tonight’s Rugby League World Cup clash with rivals Tonga in Hamilton. Local police have stepped up patrols ahead of the game after social media footage of Tongan and Samoan fans brawling that emerged on Tuesday night was followed by reports of further street fights on Wednesday. Samoan prop Sam Tagataese called for calm from both groups of fans.

Breakers regroup The New Zealand Breakers have racked up five-straight wins since their season-opening defeat to the Taipans, but the NBL tabletoppers won’t be taking tonight’s rematch in Cairns lightly. Coach Paul Henare says the competition leaders will be keeping things simple as they look to back up from Thursday’s 92-88 win over the third-placed Adelaide 36ers in Auckland. “With a quick turnaround, you can’t get too creative,” he said. “You’ve got to keep things really simple and that’s what you fall back on, rather than trying to get too tricky. You’ve got to be really solid with what you do and hopefully you’ve got enough there in the pocket to come away with the win.”

In brief

■ COOLMORE STAKES

The blinkered approach Lance O’Sullivan concedes Summer Passage needs to lift at Flemington to give today’s $1 million Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) field a fright and he’s banking on a gear addition for that extra edge.

The Matamata horseman, who trains with Andrew Scott, said the three-year-old’s efforts in Melbourne have been satisfactory, but improvement is required.

“He’s in great order and I certainly can’t fault the way he looks in the coat and he’s very bright in the eye,” he said.

“If you look at his runs he hasn’t been far away, but he does need to find a length or two.”

Summer Passage opened his campaign when eighth in the Gr.2 Danehill Stakes (1200m) and then finished runner-up in the Gr.3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m) and sixth in the Gr.3 Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m).

“He missed away a bit in the Blue Sapphire and Hugh Bow-

Champion New Zealand apprentice Sam Weatherley will further his racing experience in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, next week. Weatherley, who will be accompanied by New Zealand Thoroughbred riding mentor Noel Harris, will attend the HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak International Federation of Horse Racing Academies (IFHRA) Training and Education Conference. The 18-year-old will leave Auckland on Tuesday night, after riding at Ellerslie that day, and return on November 13.

The Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards-trained pair of Grazia and Imperium will both be fronting up in Saturday week’s Listed Redwood Metropolitan Trophy Handicap (2500m) at Riccarton.

“They’ll run with a view to the New Zealand Cup,” Te Akau principal David Ellis said. Grazia won the Listed Spring Classic (2000m) last time out while Imperium, who was third in last year’s New Zealand Cup, was fourth over 2100m at Ashburton at his most recent appearance.

man then gave him a beautiful ride and he came in and said in his opinion we could very seriously look at adding blinkers so we’ve opted to do that this time,” O’Sullivan said.

“He’s done plenty of pace work and a bit of fast work in them so we’re hoping.

“They seem quite an even bunch of three-year-olds and there’s no real stand out this year, the fillies look a bit stronger if anything.”

O’Sullivan said Summer Passage is still developing and the best might be to come after Christmas.

“I would have liked to see him carrying just a bit more condition.

“He’s fractionally light and he might bloom in the autumn.

“He has grown quite a bit in the last two or three months.”

In brief England ‘squeaky clean’ England opener Mark Stoneman says England are determined to make their fans proud by being squeaky clean off the field in wake of the Ben Stokes saga. Stokes has been provisionally suspended while police investigate a violent incident that occurred outside a UK nightclub. Stoneman said the players were determined to be on their best behaviour.

Davison with SVG?

Shield cricket kicks off

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

With the first trophy of the season safely locked away in Methven’s trophy cabinet, Mid Canterbury’s senior cricket teams will now have their sights set on the first round of the Pritchard Shield today.

Defending champions Allenton will have time to regroup with the bye after a

mixed performance in the T20 competition, where they only won one game.

In a rematch of last week’s T20 final, Tech and Methven will face off in a 45over match for the first time this season.

Methven will be looking for another strong performance from their opening batsmen, while Tech will be hoping their bowlers can fire this time around.

In the other match, Coldstream will play Lauriston, who struggled through the T20 competition, needing a dead-rubber victory against Allenton to get their first win of the season.

Coldstream only just missed out on the T20 final, and with the Prints and Houstons in the lineup, are always a side to be feared.

It will be a rematch of the T20 final in the first round of the Pritchard Shield today when Tech and Methven face off.

McLaughlin turns on the early pace Scott McLaughlin set the fastest time in the opening practice session at the ITM Auckland SuperSprint at Pukekohe Park Raceway.

The Shell V-Power Ford racer set a time of 1:02.715s to top the sheets yesterday in front of team-mate Fabian Coulthard and championship leader Jamie Whincup’s Red Bull Holden.

Both Shell V-Power cars had spins during the session as well as drivers tested out the new surface at various parts of the track.

“It was good,” Coulthard said.

“Just familiarising yourself with Pukekohe again. It is a little bit different with the surface changes and things like that but we seemed to adapt not too bad.

“It was good for the team to finish one-two.

“It is just everyone getting used to it and understanding what is different and where it is different. I don’t think it is affecting things too much – it has made it a little bit smoother in places and that is always a good thing.”

The weather was grey and overcast Scott McLaughlin but the track remained dry throughout the session.

Reigning series champ Shane van Gisbergen posted only the 19th fastest time although he remained in the pits during the back end of the session having earlier set times comparable with the leading drivers.

Jack Perkins was the first driver to feel the bite of the challenging Pukekohe Park Raceway circuit.

The experiencef racer was a late replacement in the Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport team for Alex Rullo this weekend and he made an auspicious start by running off the track at the final corner and scraping his Holden along the pit straight wall. He managed to limp the car back to the pits but took no further part in the session.

Multiple Bathurst winner Will Davison hasn’t given up hope of remaining a full-time driver in next year’s Supercars championship.

The 35-year-old is off-contract with Tekno Autosports at the end of the year and yet to lock in his future. Pitlane whispers are growing that Davison will sign on as co-driver for Red Bull Holden Racing Team’s Shane Van Gisbergen in 2018. However the 2009 and 2016 Bathurst 1000 winner says he’s still considering offers to race full-time, which remains his priority.

Gunners into knockout Arsenal secured their spot in the last 32 of the Europa League yesterday while fellow Premier League side Everton crashed out on matchday four of the competition. A hard-fought 0-0 draw in London against Red Star Belgrade was enough to carry Arsenal into the knock-out phase from Group H. Cologne won a thriller 5-2 over BATE for their first points elsewhere but trail Red Star by two and BATE by one in the race for second.

Weekend Sports Box A look ahead to the sporting weekend, with a glance back over the shoulder at the week that was.

Out and about ...

This week sees the start of the 45 over cricket in what should be an exciting summer. If you fancy a wee drive, Coldstream are hosting Lauriston at home, or head down to the Ashburton Domain at noon to see T20 finalists Methven and Tech battle it out.

The punt ...

If it wasn’t for a pesky Colin Munro scoring 10 more runs than our mate Tom Latham in the third ODI, we would have been in the money. This week we are going to start up a hypothetical betting pool to see what we can do by the time winter comes around. Let’s start of generous with $100 and see what damage we can do.

Swansea v Brighton: Swansea @ $2.20 Tottenham v Crystal Palace: Tottenham @ $1.25 Manchester City v Arsenal: Manchester City @ $1.42 Chelsea v Manchester United: Under 2.5 Goals @ $1.60 $5 bet for $31.20 return Pool: $95.

Crystal Palace v West Ham Handicaps: West Ham +0.5 @ $1.60 Arsenal v Swansea - Handicaps: Swansea +1.5 @ $2.25 Bournemouth v Chelsea - Handicaps: Bournemouth +1.5 @ $1.45 Ath Bilbao v Barcelona - Head to Head: Barcelona @ $1.45 Alaves v Valencia - Head to Head: Valencia @ $1.60 West Brom v Manchester City - Head to Head: Manchester City @ $1.25 Liverpool v Huddersfield - Handicaps: Liverpool -1.5 @ $1.60 Watford v Stoke City - Handicaps:

Stoke City +0.5 @ $1.80

Quick quiz ...

Who was the last Mid Canterbury born All Black before Tim Perry?

Quote of the Week …

“I look forward to having a very generous audience – sports fans cutting me slack for not being what I was 30 years ago.” Andre Agassi says he will play in next year’s World Tennis Challenge in Adelaide.

The gambler ... $80 Football Multi wins $5232.00 This punter used the handicap options to perfection to score a huge payout from this weekend’s European Football.

Atl. Madrid v Villarreal - Handicaps: Villarreal +1.5 @ $1.50

It is certainly not the most memorable high tackle of the Lochore Cup final (Maleli Sau safely holds that title), but just quite how this one eluded the referee’s vision is a bit confusing.

Class 4 and 5 Drivers

Licensed Sales Assistant BAYLEYS - Ashburton

Rural Driver Licencing Coordinator

Bayleys Ashburton sells some of Canterbury’s finest Rural and Lifestyle properties and there is now an opportunity for an aspiring sales assistant to work alongside Mike Preston, one of the Canterbury’s top salespeople, as part of Mike’s highly-functioning team.

This is an evolving role offering plenty of growth and opportunity for the right candidate. Initially day-to-day responsibilities will include sales support and customer communications, buyer work and open home support.

This role requires a balanced skill-set and the ideal candidate will have secured a national certificate in real estate while possessing competency across compliance, marketing, superb communication skills and excellent presentation – along with an interest in the Agribusiness sector and Rural market.

This is a rare opportunity for a real estate professional in the early stages of their career to benefit from the skill sets that exist in Mike’s current team which will provide support to achieve your full potential.

As the South Islands largest full-service agency Bayleys Canterbury has built a strong reputation in the market place as a market leader in the rural and lifestyle sector and as an exciting, vibrant place to work. The company offers unlimited opportunity for a candidate who is motivated, proactive and ready to reach their potential.

Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust has been successful in obtaining funding through a range of community funders to develop a Newcomer Rural Driver licencing Scheme. The Rural Support Trust is working in partnership with Safer Ashburton to develop and deliver this new initiative for our rural community. As such we are looking to employ a person who will be responsible for the development and delivery of this initiative. » Are you passionate about improving outcomes for those in the rural community? » Do you have experience in working with, and alongside, a wide range of individuals from different backgrounds? » Are you a skilled communicator with excellent relationship management? » Do you have excellent organisational and time management skills? » Do you have a knowledge of and commitment to our rural community?

If you can answer yes to these questions we would love to hear from you.

This is a hands on position where you will spend time both in the office on administrative tasks and out and about working directly with people in our rural community. You don’t need to have knowledge around driver licencing, what we are really looking for is someone who has a knowledge of the rural community, in particular within the dairy sector, can build on that knowledge forming strong links within the rural community, and can coordinate this fantastic initiative.

This position is for 20 hours per week and covers the Ashburton District.

For further information and an application pack please contact Mary Bailey at: Safer Ashburton 44 Cass Street, Ashburton Ph: 03 308 1395 mary@saferashburton.org.nz

CROMIE, Adrienne Paula – The family of Adrienne Audrey, Roberta and Russell, Ross and Liz, Max, Brent and Janine wish to thank so many of the Rakaia Community plus everyone from throughout New Zealand and overseas for their condolences, flowers, cards, phone calls, baking and kind remarks, we do appreciate your kindness so much. The Rakaia Fire Brigade, Ashburton St John Ambulance, Westpac Helicopter services, Jenny for flowers and hall display, Julie for much of the organising, all who helped at the shop, the Rakaia Pony Club, Norm for the service and his sister for the heartfelt singing, all Adrienne’s horsey mates, the staff at the Rakaia Foodstore, the local ladies from the Play Centre, Scouts and School and all who attended the service. You have all been so wonderful during this awful sudden passing of Adrienne.

Our present staff at the shop will endeavour to follow in Adrienne’s footsteps to ensure our customer service continues in the way Adrienne would have wished.

It is a tragedy that Adrienne is not here to see the end result of the shop renovations.

Rakaia is a very friendly community, our thanks to you all for being so loyal and kind during these very hard times, and they are hard times.

STEVENS, Allen Dickson – The family of Allen, Jan and Fred, Rona and Malky, Pat and Dave would like to thank everyone for their support and love during the loss of a loved dad, grandad and great grandad. To everyone who sent cards, baking and phone calls and to those who attended the service to celebrate Allen’s life, we thank you. Many thanks to all those who visited dad at McKenzie Healthcare, Geraldine. He enjoyed all the visits. Please accept this as a personal acknowledgement of our appreciation.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you fear that you’re bothering someone by reaching out, it’s a sign that this person hasn’t made you feel comfortable and accepted enough to relax. Not your fault. Also, probably not a good match for you.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Thinking ahead will help you play your moments better. A lot of moments won’t even happen unless you make a plan.

Just don’t get stuck there. You don’t live inside the plan; you live inside the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re a very responsible person. You’ll take charge of the situation as far as it should be taken charge of, all the while keeping in mind that some things are better left alone.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Inspiration will come in the form of people you may feel competitive with.

It’s something you’ll keep hidden, and wisely so. Let it burble up in you to be examined and turned into improvement-fuel later.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll look back and laugh at some of the rules you used to give yourself. It’s a good time to ask: “Am I doing the same thing now? Is there a rule I’m imposing on myself that is unnecessarily holding me back?”

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): That tough person you admire (but wouldn’t exactly want to be exactly) will help you find the courage to cut out a piece of nonsense and get down to what’s important to you.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your fantasies are the celluloid that will project onto the real world like film to the silver screen. Shift what you think about toward a topic that makes you feel giddy, warm and inspired.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Friends are blessings. You wouldn’t take that for granted. And yet, you really should be able to feel free, even a little bit careless around them. Shake off the uptight energy and, hopefully, they will, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Even though you can tell when someone is lying, it’s not always wise to call the person out right away. Going along may give you a strategic advantage.

Watch and understand what’s going on today.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You may feel a little bit irritable. Do you need more excitement or less excitement to get back into the zone? Let intuition speak to you and then take action (or inaction as the case may be).

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re ready to admit what makes you feel secretly superior. Then you can let compassion take its place. The more equal and connected you feel, the easier life will be.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Synchronicity happens so often that it’s almost de rigueur. Nonetheless, it will be a delight to learn the one you think of is also thinking of you. You could even show up randomly at the same place.
