Luckiest Lotto store

Charlie Hill is sharing the story of CharRees vineyard at an open day on November 20.

CharRees spreads its story

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s own vineyard CharRees is breaking new ground in the wine world, by spreading the word that Mid Canterbury produces not just milk but a very good Riesling and other wines.

The vineyard on the outskirts of Tinwald is owned by Charlie and Esme Hill; they make a living selling milk but their passion is nine hectares of land at their back door planted with nearly 10,000 Riesling, pinot noir and pinot gris vines.

The vineyard has won five medals for its wine in the past few years and the Hills will be the Canterbury A&P Show next week telling wine-drinkers that Mid

Canterbury grows great grapes.

Hill says people are always surprised to hear viticulture is part of the district’s agribusiness scene.

Cows, sheep, beef and seeds are what most relate to the fertile soils between the Rangitata and Rakaia Rivers.

He says his grapes are no different to those crops, and the wine in the bottle is a reflection of their work in the vineyard, subject to the influences of Mother Nature.

This summer will be their 10th on the vineyard and Hill says their aim this season, as always, is to enjoy their passion and hopefully break even.

He won’t be giving up his day

job as a milkman any time soon.

The decade has been a learning curve: the vines require personal attention. New buds are currently being scraped off trunks and after the Christchurch show the vines will be thinned to encourage growth where it is wanted.

The tiny bunches that are emerging at the moment are vulnerable to frost and Hill says they are at the mercy of the elements on that front.

After the grapes are harvested around April next year, they will be sent wine-maker Kirk Bray in Waipara. But there is a lot of work and weather to happen before then.

The story about their boutique vineyard, where people can taste

the different wines around the Hill family’s dining table, is actually better known outside the district. Hill says he hosts tastings for groups often passing through Ashburton, including amateur wine-makers and tourists who love hearing about his journey from wine-drinker to wine-grower.

He has decided to tell the story to Mid Canterbury people by hosting an open day at the vineyard on November 20.

There will be free tastings, wine for sale by the glass and bottle, food and music – visitors will be encouraged to wander around the vines and ask questions about the journey from grape to glass.

The luckiest Lotto store has been revealed ahead of Saturday’s $38 million jackpot.

Unichem Stortford Lodge Pharmacy in Hastings has a reputation as New Zealand’s luckiest shop with 43 first division wins, including two this year and two Powerball first division prizes.

The total winnings amount to more than $27 million. Kiwis around the country are snapping up Lotto tickets as the Powerball prize swells to $38m today.

The next luckiest stores, Pak `N Save Riccarton in Christchurch and Nelson’s Richmond Night `N Day tie second-equal with 32 first division wins each. The Christchurch store has more than double the total first division winnings, with $36m compared to the Nelson store’s $16m.

Coastlands Lotto in Paraparaumu comes in at third place with 29 first division wins, and Berrymans in Auckland, Mall Books and Lotto in Wellington and Hornby Mall Lotto in Christchurch share the title of fourth “luckiest”, with 26 first division wins to their names.

Lotto spokeswoman Emilia Mazur said although these stores have a lucky reputation every ticket has the same chance.

“We know these stores will be busier than usual with players hoping some of their previous good luck will rub off.

Pre-school steps up for Diabetes NZ Breath■ DUNEDIN

They may not have understood the seriousness of the message but students at Stepping Stones Pre-School were happy to take part in a coin trail and dress up day to raise money for Diabetes New Zealand.

President Denise Wells visited the centre to talk to the youngsters about healthy eating and she was joined by a mum whose child is a diabetic. Taking their turn to entertain during the day were from left: four year olds Brandi (rear), Levi, three yearold Naleah (rear) and Krishant, four.

tested at home Police have taken the unusual step of breathalysing a man who was tucked up in his bed at home.

The move was revealed when council engineer Kieran Trainor appeared in the Dunedin District Court following a car crash.

The court hear Trainor had been so drunk he drove home on the wrong side of the road.

The judge said Trainor was so intoxicated he was surprised he could walk let alone drive.

The 30-year-old was sentenced to 350 hours’ community work and 12 months’ intensive supervision and banned from driving for 15 months.

The judge also imposed judicial monitoring, meaning he would be sent regular reports on Trainor’s progress in completing the sentence.

■ BARING SQUARE CHURCH

Swap the library for a church

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Saving the Baring Square Church is a given, not an option, says Ashburton man Peter McQuarters.

In a recent letter to the Ashburton Guardian McQuarters made a pitch for the council to enter a land swap deal that would see it sell the current library site on Havelock Street to a developer, and use the funds this generated to buy the historic church.

In an Opus report on site options for Ashburton’s new civic centre and library, the church and its neighbour the old Ashburton

county building were tagged as the first choice option. The proposal was to demolish both to make way for a new, combined structure.

While the church site suggestion came from the community, when it came out of the selection process as number one option there was a growing band of opposition. McQuarters believes his idea could meet both the needs of the community and the council.

He suggests that using funds from the library site sale, the church could be bought, restored and turned into a multi-use space for performances and meetings

and it could also be used by its previous owners the Methodist Church congregation. He proposes it is run under the umbrella of the council owned Ashburton Event Centre.

McQuarters takes his suggestion one step further, proposing to demolish the adjoining church hall and rebuilding a new structure that would be linked to the county building. This could then become the district’s new library.

Whether or not the idea would fly with the council is yet to be tested.

Mayor Donna Favel is non-

committal, but open minded. She wants her new team of councillors to take a breather on the project before it makes a plan.

“The difficulty is we have one mayor, 12 councillors and many views around the table. We have seven new councillors to bring up to speed. I’m not opposed to any suggestion and I’m really keen to ensure we get the answer the community wants.”

And while she might have her own preferred options, at this point it was important the community was listened to first, she said.

“Right now I don’t want to throw my opinion out there.

Many of the ideas put in front of us have merit. Anything is possible; it’s a case of what’s the bigger plan here.”

Realistically the civic project would be stalled until the new year and it would then be debated in workshops and council meetings, Favel said.

“It’s be nice to get it done before Christmas but when I look at all the other processes and training our team has to go through it’s not realistic. We all have to walk before we can run.”

War of water on chessboard

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When it came to the moves, the rules of chess were observed to the letter but in between those moves it was a case of anything goes when Ashburton College student executive and college staff clashed in a traditional challenge.

While teacher Peter Fougere and student Vlad Barbu made the official moves, the human chess pieces created chaos on the school’s chess board and by the time the students delivered their fatal move, the chess board and its black and white men were awash with water.

Organiser Ken Pow said that while frivolity may have been the order of the day, the rules of the ancient game of chess were strictly observed.

However, while the official players knew where their men were on the board, they were unable to control their behaviour between moves.

And that, of course, resulted in the usual watery chaos, Pow said.

The chess match has been a school end of year tradition since the 1970s. The dress code is always black and white but with

how that’s interpreted is without boundaries.

Over the years the changes have been few apart from the size of the water weaponry now available.

The match is run with a strict time limit and while the students took the title, Pow believes the

teachers had their chance to take the title for 2016.

“It was very close and I’d say that Pete Fougere lost an opportunity on move 37.”

The title has been pretty evenly shared over the years and the matches are always hard fought – on the board and off, he said.

Water supply fix completed Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The timing couldn’t have been worse but the renewal of Methven’s water supply infrastructure has been a problem-free exercise.

The Ashburton District Council is wrapping up the final stages of the major, four-month work project on the ski village’s water gallery, but when work started during the ski season there were serious concerns about the timing, Ashburton District councillor Liz McMillan said.

At that time she chaired the Methven Community Board and

Weed clean-out Lake Hood’s waterways will be in for a spring clean over the next three weeks when an aquatic weed control programme is carried out in its canals. Some time between November 7 and 25 the waterways will be treated with a product that will reduce the weed mass in the canals. The actual period of discharge, however, is likely to be only three hours. Lake Hood manager Gilbert Murdoch said the product will be released into the canals with a gel that ensures it sticks to the plant and for up to 48 hours after its release the canals should not be used for swimming.

“We’ll have notices up, although what’s used is not a notifiable chemical. But we are making sure we take precautions,” he said.

Call for members

■ METHVEN WATER SUPPLY

By Sue NewmaN

In brief

said businesses were nervous about the potential the work had to impact on business operations.

Those fears were unfounded and over the four months McMillan said the impact had been minimal.

“It appears to have been done without any major issues. There was the odd comment that at times there appeared to be more chlorine in the water but that was just part of the flushing process,” she said.

Work on the gallery was needed because it had sustained dam-

age to parts of the infiltration pipe deep underground. Urgent repairs were needed to ensure the safety and sustainability of the town’s drinking water.

Council service delivery group manager Neil McCann said the project was a large and extremely complicated one.

It involved installing 500 metres of pipe to replace the damaged system.

A number of new chambers also had to be dug out.

The council accepted the work had been carried out during the busiest time of year for Methven

businesses; their patience and understanding had been appreciated, he said.

“All of this had to be done without compromising the water supply, and I am proud of our staff’s tremendous effort to keep the system working effectively throughout the project.”

For a time there had been a precautionary 10 per cent chlorine increase in the water, but this was now back to its regular level, McCann said.

The project is set to be officially completed in the next three weeks.

If you’re interested in art or in creative projects, the Ashburton District Council would like to hear from you. It is looking for people to put their names forward for its Creative Communities Committee.

The committee needs at least five new people to join the team to help decide where Creative New Zealand funding grants will be spent. It assesses applications from artistic community groups and determines which groups will receive funding. It is expected the committee will meet twice a year to assess applications.

Nominations are open until December 5. Further information and application forms are available on www.ashbutondc.govt.nz

Rampage ends in jail A 23-year-old man who led police on a dangerous 50km rampage across North Canterbury and Christchurch has been jailed for three years. Kyle James Clarke, a 23-year-old from Geraldine, South Canterbury, was sentenced yesterday at Christchurch District Court on a raft of charges, including reckless driving, failing to stop for police, driving while forbidden, a burglary at Amberley, being found without reasonable excuse in an enclosed yard, and taking a Nissan Safari from Waikuku. The pursuit began in North Canterbury on September 15 at around 8.30am and finished almost two hours later in the suburb of Woolston.

■ ASHBURTON FIRE BRIGADE

Fireman racks up 50 years

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

When Graeme Baker joined the Ashburton Fire Brigade as a volunteer fire fighter he had no idea he would still be serving the community 50 years later.

Yesterday Baker joined fellow volunteers and their family at the Ashburton station to celebrate marking half a century to the day he followed in his father’s footsteps and signed up.

His older brother was also in the brigade for a short time, however none of the next generations of Baker’s have answered the calling, he said.

Through the years Baker has climbed the ranks and is now the station’s deputy fire chief.

It’s been a big commitment and one which requires volunteers to drop whatever they are doing when the siren sounds.

“We are a very busy station – we attend about 400 callouts every year,” he said.

“The bosses around town are pretty good at allowing staff to attend callouts.”

In Baker’s case he was the boss, or one of three in the carpeting business he ran in conjunction with brothers Maurice and Ken on the southern end of East Street.

“I could get away most of the time, but not always.”

In fact one of his most memorable callouts was in 1991, to that very business.

“I was working on the corner of Havelock Street when the siren went, I saw the plume of smoke coming from that direction and remember hoping it was not our place. But when I got to the station I was told it was.

“It was going extremely well by the time we arrived.”

A fire at the now defunct Ashburton Power Board also stands

out as a major event.

“It went up well and truly,” he said.

As far as firefighting goes, not a lot has changed over the past 50 years, however the technology has moved with the times.

“We still use water to put out fires but the appliances have become more sophisticated over time.”

In rural surrounding irrigation has made life easier for firefighters, with appliances now able to connect and vacuum pump water from bore heads.

Notably there has been a big increase in the number of vehicle smashes and medical callouts the service attends and in a district like Mid Canterbury there’s a good chance a volunteer will know victims. Baker has so far been lucky in that respect.

“Touch wood I’ve never had to deal with a close family member or friend,” he said.

The local brigade has great depth and knowledge with men like Allan Burgess and Alister Kenny both nudging their own 50 year mark, but the younger recruits are also pulling their weight.

“We’ve got a very good brigade at the moment, it’s great to know the guys in the back (of the truck) know exactly what they’ve got to do.”

And that trust is important – because lives are on the line, both those of victims and fellow firefighters, Baker said.

Right now he has no plans to quit. “I haven’t really thought about – you get to the 25 year mark and the years keep rolling on. I enjoy being able to serve the community, because you are helping people.”

Baker will be honoured by the New Zealand Fire Services with the presentation of his 50 year medal in the New Year.

Woman rescued from burning island

A woman found on fire-ravaged Browns Island had been stranded there since Monday and was lighting fires to raise the alarm, police say.

A Police Eagle helicopter spotted her several hours after the fire was reported on Thursday.

She was plucked off the burning island by the Police Maritime Unit vessel, Deodar, and taken to the mainland around 9pm Thursday.

Detective Sergeant Tony McKenzie said police were still investigating how she got there and, along with fire crews, were examining the scene.

“She’s told us she was left stranded there on Monday afternoon for three nights, and that she was able to access food and shelter in a hut on the island.

“She had lit, and then later extinguished, small fires to attract attention for help from passing boats but Thursday evening’s fire had got out of her control due to winds.”

The woman, in her 30s, had no fire-related injuries, but was taken to Auckland Hospital, McKenzie said.

She had since been released and was resting at home in Auckland.

Firefighters were now targeting hotspots as the enormous fire on the uninhabited Hauraki Gulf island was brought under control.

The fire burned fiercely across half the island on Thursday, but was now under control.

Browns Island is a pest-free volcanic reserve close to central Auckland. It is also known as Motukorea.

Historic sites cover much of the island and include Maori pa sites, gardens and settlements, some several hundred years old.

Other sites are associated with early European settlement, according to the department.

The island is managed by DOC and the Auckland Council to protect its historic landscape and volcanic features. -NZME

Police under investigation after booze disposal

■ WAKANUI SCHOOL

Creative flair for garden

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.SCHOOL.NZ

Wakanui School art extension students are putting a creative flair in the school’s garden.

The seven students designed and painted five totem poles about what their school means to them.

Wakanui School arts teacher Cherie Livingstone said the totem poles had words painted on like friendship, family, learning, singing and connectivity – all aspects the students loved about other students and their classrooms.

Livingstone said there was still a bit of work left to be done on the totem poles but they would be completed by next week.

Once finished, a photo will be taken of the poles and be entered into the Resene Paints Mural Masterpieces Competition by November 14.

She said Wakanui School could win up to $7000 worth of prizes while making their garden more colourful.

Christchurch police are being investigated by an environmental agency for pouring hundreds of litres of booze into a drain.

On Thursday 343 litres of champagne, cognac, whiskey and $800 red wines were tipped down a drain at the central Christchurch police station, Fairfax reported.

Yesterday, Environment Canterbury said the dumping was being investigated.

“We’re currently determining whether this was a stormwater or trade waste drain.”

However, police say the booze went down a vehicle wash drain, not a stormwater drain.

“The wash water goes into the sewerage system, not the stormwater drains”, a police spokeswoman said She said Environment Canterbury had received lots of calls from members of the public concerned about the disposal.

“They have therefore sent an inspector to confirm that the disposal method was appropriate.”

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

On track with stock water targets The Ashburton District Council has successfully reduced its stock water takes from the Ashburton River, seven years ahead of the proposed target.

Under the Ashburton Zone Implementation Programme (ZIP), the council has been given the task of reducing stock water takes out of the Ashburton River from 5355 litres per second down to 2900 litres per second by July 2023.

The council has been operating below this target since February 2015.

Council assets manager Andrew Guthrie says the results are very promising. “Council has worked hard to achieve these results in such a short time.

“We are very committed to meeting targets under the ZIP, and it is rewarding to see these goals reached,” he said.

Mr Guthrie says the gradual closure of stock water races, changing farm practices and dry Mid Canterbury seasons have all affected water takes from the Ashburton River.

“Ashburton District has been experiencing a number of changes relating to water use, as well as lower-than-average rainfall. Although people have cut back on how much water they take during a dry season, our data suggests we would continue to meet our 2900 litre per second target even with wetter seasons, which is very reassuring.”

The Ashburton Zone Implementation Programme sets out a number of objectives targeting sustainable water management goals, as part of the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.

The council works as part of the Ashburton Zone Committee to achieve the targets set out in the ZIP.

■ JUSTICES OF THE PEACE

Long service honoured Three retired Ashburton Justices of the Peace have been presented with retirement badges.

Royal Federation of JPs Association president Denise Hutchins attended the Ashburton JP Association’s annual meeting recently to honour the long service of George Ward, Janet Butterick (35 years) and Len Butt (37 years).

George Ward has given outstanding voluntary service to Mid Canterbury for over 68 years, 50 of which were as an active JP. He was president of the Royal Federation of Justices of the Peace Associations 1985/86 and has contributed to at least eight community groups and two national bodies over that time.

Janet Butterick has made an immense contribution to the Wakanui district and the community during her lifetime of voluntary service as well as her 35 years of Justice of the Peace duties.

In 2011/2012 she was president of the Altrusa Club.

She joined the Wakanui branch of the Women’s Institute

in 1955 and was president for eight years, secretary for five years, treasurer for eight years and remains a member today, giving 61 years of service.

For 20 years she played the organ at the Wakanui church.

Leonard Butt has made an immense contribution to the Lowcliffe district and the Methodist church during his lifetime of voluntary service, including 37 years of Justice of the Peace duties.

He was delegate to the Mid Canterbury Cricket Association from 1962 to1968, president from 1972 to 1979 and is now a life member and patron of the association. Butt was instrumental in writing and publishing the history of the Lowcliffe district.

At the annual meeting Richard Johnson was elected as president of the Ashburton JP Association.

Steve Wise was elected vicepresident, Ian Moore junior vice-president, Murray Bassett as treasurer and Noel Lowe as registrar.

Morgan forms political party High profile millionaire economist and philanthropist Gareth Morgan has announced he’s forming a new political party.

It will be called The Opportunities Party and its policies will promote fairness, reduced poverty, housing affordability, environmental sustainability and national pride.

“Today is ground zero for us – this is where we begin,” he said yesterday.

Gareth Morgan’s new political party will be called The Opportunities Party. he intended breaking the stranglehold that career politicians had on New Zealand.

“They look at their career prospects above everything else,” he said. The party will be list only

and his initial policy platform seems to be centre-left.

Green Party co-leader James Shaw says he doesn’t see why any of his party’s supporters would vote for another which had vir-

tually no chance of getting into parliament.

A list-only party has to gain 5 per cent of the party vote in an election to get into parliament.

Kiwis are set to be treated with the most spectacular “supermoon” since 1948 – if bad weather doesn’t hide it from us.

If it’s a clear evening at 8.45pm on November 15 people will notice the moon as a huge orange globe creeping over the eastern horizon.

Astronomers are predicting it to be the most impressive such spectacle in 67 years.

“For most of the population, it’ll be the best one they’ve seen in their lifetime,” Stardome astronomer Dr Grant Christie said.

The phenomenon occurs when a full moon phase co-incides with its closest approach to the Earth.

As its orbit around Earth is an ellipse, not a circle, its distance from Earth can vary from a distant apogee of 406,000km to a closer perigee of 357,000km, although these ranges can also vary because the orbit of the moon is affected to some degree by the sun’s gravity.

On November 15, the full moon will appear about 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter than an apogee full moon – and there won’t be a closer full moon until 2024.

Final Chch Motorway projects under way

In brief Early release?

The Corrections Department has agreed to take another look at whether a woman who is dying in prison should be released early. Vicki Letele, 35, is eight months into a sentence of three years and two months for fraud.

She has terminal cancer and is expected to live for five months.

The mother-of-three wants to spend her remaining time with her family. The Parole Board has decided that Letele does not meet the exceptional circumstances test for early release. But Collins revealed yesterday afternoon that the Corrections Department would reconsider its position.

Prime Minister John Key and Transport Minister Simon Bridges today marked the start of the final two Christchurch Motorway projects to be built under the Government’s Roads of National Significance programme.

Work on Stage 2 of the Christchurch Southern Motorway extension and the new Christchurch Northern Corridor project both start this month. The two projects form the final part of the Government’s $900 million Christchurch Roads of National Significance programme.

The $195 million Christchurch Southern Motorway extension project will see the current four-lane motorway extended by 13km through to Main South Road, just north of Rolleston.

The extension is expected to halve travel time between Rolleston and Christchurch at peak times from 30 minutes to about 15 minutes.

The new $240 million northern corridor includes ■ A new 8km four-lane motorway starting at the Waimakariri River and finishing on Cranford Street in the City ■ Four-laning of QEII Drive ■ The addition of a third northbound lane on the Waimakariri Bridge ■ A shared pedestrian and cycle path that will run almost the full length of the Christchurch Northern Corridor, from Empire Road to Cranford Street All up, the construction of these two projects will see nearly half a billion dollars injected into Canterbury, providing hundreds of jobs directly and indirectly, Bridges said.

“These two significant motorway projects will also complete the city’s roading network. They will change the way people and freight move around Christchurch City, from the Lyttelton Port of Christchurch, the inland port links at Rolleston and to the

“The Government is committed to seeing the South Island’s largest city and largest port supported by a roading network which will support the South Island’s economic and social

growth,” Bridges said.

The Christchurch Roads of National Significance programme covers three corridors – Northern, Western and Southern. Stage 1 of the Southern Motorway was completed in December 2012

with Stage 2 scheduled for completion in early 2020.

Completion of the new Christchurch Northern Corridor is also scheduled for 2020. The Western Corridor is scheduled for completion in 2018.

The bill that will allow New Zealand to ratify the TransPacific Partnership free trade agreement has passed its second reading in parliament and is a step closer to becoming law. It amends numerous acts to bring them into line with New Zealand’s obligations under the 12-nation agreement. “All primary legislative changes that need to take place prior to TPP’s entry into force are addressed in the bill,” said Trade Minister Todd McClay.

Gary’s journey from the Gary Fransen has a new set of lungs and a new lease on life. He talks to Susan Sandys about his journey back from the brink, and his dedication to the cause of organ donation.

Above – Gary Fransen’s sister Tina McKenzie supported him throughout his surgery and recovery.

Right – Gary Fransen was able to return to work in September.

O

n April 11 this year, Gary Fransen and his boss, Kerry (Jacko) Bartlett at Paul Smith’s Earthmoving, were out looking at jobs, and the subject of Gary’s health came up. They both decided it was time for him to take leave.

It is a day Gary remembers well.

He loved his job as a digger operator and leaving was the last thing he wanted to do.

But he had no choice. Gary had been struggling with severe lung disease and the time had come.

He could barely walk to his letterbox to get his mail, let alone operate heavy machinery.

On an organ transplant waiting list, Gary was hopeful of getting a new set of lungs, and he and Jacko decided it was time to take leave until that happened.

However, fate, in the form of an unknown family’s kindness, stepped in for Gary on that sunny autumn day. Just one hour after having that conversation with his boss, he took a call on his cellphone.

It came through as “caller unknown”, but when he answered it the female voice sounded vaguely familiar and he soon realised it was one of New Zealand Heart and Lung Service’s transplant coordinators.

“Hi Gary, it’s Denise, we may

have a set of lungs for you.”

Gary had been on the lung transplant waiting list since February, and expected to have to wait up to one year.

His uncommon blood group of B plus was expected to make finding a suitable donor that much more difficult.

That call represented more than Gary, now aged 53, could ever have wished for.

He had been given just one year to live the previous July, and had not been confident of making it through the winter.

Five years earlier Gary was diagnosed with COPD/alpha-1 antitrypsum deficiency, a hereditary condition which causes reduced functioning of the lungs.

While he had suffered some asthma as a child and then in more recent years as an adult, the diagnosis had come as a shock.

The symptoms had been waking in the night gasping for air and one time he contracted pneumonia and ended up in hospital on life support.

His condition ultimately saw his lung function drop as low as 16 per cent and he was no stranger to emergency airlifts to Christchurch Hospital.

As soon as he got off the phone, Gary called his support person, his sister Tina McKenzie, and the pair

booked a flight. Jacko drove Gary home and a close friend drove him and Tina to Christchurch Airport.

There his adult children met him, to give him their best wishes as they farewelled him off for the life-saving surgery.

One son celebrating his birthday messaged Gary to say the news was the best birthday present ever.

There was a delay when the flight had maintenance issues, said to be a loose bolt, and instead of arriving in Auckland around 9pm, Gary and Tina got there around 11.30pm.

Hospital staff met them at the facility’s door and Gary was in surgery at 5.30am on April 12. Seven weeks later he was able to return home.

Tina had been based in the nearby Hearty Towers, where families can stay to support their relatives undergoing surgery.

Gary and Tina will forever be grateful to Gary’s organ donor, a 40-year-old male, and his family.

They appreciate that through the family’s grief of losing a loved one, they had given consideration to saving the lives of others.

“It’s a gift, he’s helped Gary live, their son has helped someone else,” Tina said.

“No words can describe how I feel about what they have done for me,” Gary said.

They urged Mid Cantabrians to

251016-TM-0102

talk to their families about organ donation.

If they wanted to donate their organs, make sure family members knew this, as it came down to the decision of family members.

Gary is still mending after his surgery, but can now go on long walks and enjoy his hobby of boating without having to worry about getting out of breath.

He returned to work at the end of September, glad that leave he had been granted did not have to be for long.

Gary is proud to take the honour of being the 228th double lung transplant recipient in New Zealand and he plans to write a letter of thanks to his anonymous donor’s family.

He is grateful to the medical professionals, including at Allenton Medical Centre and Ashburton Hospital, who helped him in the long journey of preparing for the surgery and now his recovery.

One day he hopes he may have the opportunity to pass on the favour of a new life that someone gave to him, to someone else.

Gary is an organ donor, and yes, he has talked to his family about it.

He is happy to donate his organs in the hope that they will give new life to another, and save a family from the heartache of losing someone close to them.

N DONOR DEATHS

FACTS ■

■ ■

■

More than 550 New Zealanders are waiting for an organ transplant and approximately 450 of these are waiting for a kidney transplant. People waiting for a heart, lungs or liver may die without a successful transplant while those waiting for a kidney transplant lead lives restricted by long-term dialysis treatment.

Many more people are waiting for tissue transplants, including corneas, heart valves and skin.

The success rates for transplantation in New Zealand are comparable to international rates. Five-year patient survival rates from deceased donors are 78 per cent for hearts, 60 per cent for lungs, 89 per cent for adult livers, 87 per cent for pancreas and 82 per cent for kidneys.

The number of deceased organ donors in New Zealand has risen from 29 in 2005 to 53 last year.

Gate grabs yellow jersey Olympian Aaron Gate has powered into the Tour of Southland lead after a surprise move on the fifth stage from Invercargill to Gore.

Christchurch’s Michael Vink looked set to cruise to victory with two days of the week-long race remaining, but a brazen move by a 20-strong breakaway in cold, wet conditions shook everything up.

Gate was part of the early break which established itself 30km into

the 151km stage and never looked back.

While Vink led by more than two minutes at the start of the stage, the breakaway continued to gain time through Drummond, Winton and Springhills.

“I looked around and we had a group of 20 guys and it was surprising at that point because a lot of guys that were up on GC were missing from that group,” Gate said.

“We gave it a nudge and kept pushing it, and then all of a sudden we had a minute, then two minutes and at one stage we had six and a half minutes.

“We managed to hold on enough at the end to put me into yellow.”

A bronze medallist in the team pursuit at the London Olympics and fourth in Rio, Gate started the day two minutes 19 seconds down on Vink, but finished with a 2:29

lead over Dutch rider Sjoerd Kouwenhoven.

“It’s still going to be all on tomorrow, the race isn’t won yet for sure,” Gate said.

“Anything can happen on that last day, so I’ll be doing everything I can to protect it.”

Today’s final day begins with a 13km individual time trial at Winton, followed by a 77km final stage from Winton to Invercargill. - NZME

In brief

■ HALF MARATHON BID

It’s a touchy subject ...

N

ew week, new challenges.

With some old ones showing their naughty faces too.

So how did my long run go?

I was supposed to do 8km this time, however as you know I aborted my 16km run the week before due to a sharp pain in my right knee and very tight calves, so I was keen to get as close to 16km as I could.

Determined to get the better of my knee and calves, I started running all pumped up, thinking that I would beat them and run despite whatever pain I was in.

To be honest with you, I didn’t really want to run through the pain (scared of injuring myself for good), but I wanted this to make me feel confident again that I can achieve this half marathon coming up (too soon – it is two weeks away.

Mama Mia.) The start of my run was great and pretty pleasant despite the tightness of my calves – tightness that is much better after with my physio’s massage (the torture she put me through was definitely worth it in the end) – and despite my water belt going up and down my derriere for the first km.

I wear a water belt and, until now, I had only put water in the front two bottles not the two at the back.

This time I thought I’m better have water in all four as on race day, they will need to be all full.

I’m happy I did it because the

jingling of the belt was a challenge.

At the end, I found the best placement for it so it wasn’t moving anymore. I must remember the back bottles need to be at kidney level.

What a mission to get this sorted! But this is now one more thing ready for the big day.

I ran focusing on my posture and my legs – no dreaming for Emma this time – thinking it would help avoid the pain of my right knee which strapped by my physio who hoped it will give support to it.

Unfortunately it didn’t.

The pain came at around the 7km mark and I was not a happy cookie.

Determined and furious at my knee, I kept going. I wanted to see if the pain would stop.

Another km in and nothing had changed. Arghhh. So I thought, no, I won’t quit and I’ll try something new.

I decided to do a series of 20 seconds faster run with bigger strikes 20 seconds with knees as high as they could go and 20 seconds with feet touching my derriere, then normal run for a couple of minutes, then the series and so on for around 10 minutes.

It actually helped. The sharpness of the pain decreased and eventually disappeared. I am not sure if what I did was a good thing or not but it actually made a difference.

Is it all only in my head? Be-

EMMA ON THE RUN

cause I wanted it so bad, it happened. Not sure but I felt relief.

I kept running for a few kms, happy as, with a smirk on my face “I got the best of you knee” and boom. The next challenge hit me.

My bowel decided to let me know in a big hurry that it was ready for action.

Oh my … It had never happened to me before and it wasn’t pleasant. At all.

I panicked for a few seconds and realised very quickly I had to cut my run short and found the shortest route home to avoid the worse happening.

I even thought of calling my partner to rescue me (desperation) but realised he was at cricket training so not an option unfortunately. I was probably 1.5km away from home and I ran faster than I ever did before, like I was chased by a monster. Every second was dreadful. I finally got in my driveway, threw my water belt on the concrete, grabbed the house key and dashed into the toilet. What a horrible experience.

I didn’t really want to share this with you all, there is definitely a taboo around this ‘bowel movements’ situation, however after mentioning it to some of my colleagues at a strength training session and watching them

fall on the floor laughing, I felt I should.

This can definitely happen to any runner at any time.

There are many stories online of athletes who didn’t get as lucky as I did. One of my French compatriots, who participated in the Olympic games this year, is the testimony of what happened to you when you have bad stomach troubles during a race and things go wrong.

I did a bit of research online and there are lots of articles on “how to go to the toilet before your race” to hopefully help avoiding any troubles during your race.

Here are eight tips that are forever in my head: * Get enough fibre and water the weeks leading to the race * Wake up early: Two hours prior to the race is good. Don’t be rushed and allow time to eat, drink and more * Have a cup of coffee or any hot drinks to get your digestive system started * Breakfast: Eating helps create some movements too * Take a seat: The action of sitting can help create the urge to go to the toilet * Exercise: Do some light exercise to help stimulate a bowel movement * Ease the stress: Easy said! * Do practice in advance: During training, act like it is race day for your long runs. I have only two weeks left to the race but will definitely practice for those two!

Let’s pray this doesn’t happen on race day …

PS: Why didn’t someone tell me exercise stimulates the bowel?

Van Gisbergen firing on all cylinders Championship leader Shane van Gisbergen smashed the lap record at Pukekohe Park Raceway on the way to posting the fastest time in practice two at the ITM Auckland SuperSprint yesterday afternoon.

The New Zealander fired a lightning-fast lap of 1:02.4611s in warm and dry conditions in the second of three practice sessions yesterday.

He holds a 148-point lead in the championship.

Ford’s Mark Winterbottom was second quickest, .37s behind the Kiwi. The Nissan of Michael Caruso was third fastest while New Zealander Scott McLaughlin, who had a couple of trips off the race track, was fifth.

The session began with championship contender Jamie Whincup spectacularly losing control of his Red Bull Holden coming up over the hill on his first flying lap.

He dropped all four tyres off the road and spun around on the wet grass but did incredibly well to keep the car off the walls.

In the meantime, at the other end of the track, McLaughlin backed his Volvo into the tyre barrier at the entry to the back straight.

He’d only just got the #33 car out of the corner when Will Davison followed him into the same set of tyres.

McLaughlin’s hit was fairly heavy but the damage was superficial and he continued throughout the rest of the session.

Two red flags disrupted the session – the first brought out to clean gravel off the circuit and the second to collect Holden driver Nick Percat who parked his car in the sand at the hairpin.

There was one final practice session later yesterday afternoon, and the same format will be used on both days over the weekend with a morning qualifying session and two afternoon races.

Birdie blitz from Lee Danny Lee’s experienced a round of mixed fortunes at the PGA Tour’s latest event in Las Vegas.

The kiwi golfer has carded a one under 70 opening round. Lee had bounced back well from two early bogeys with a run of five birdies before dropping two shots on his 15th and 16th holes. He’s 10 shots off the lead held by Australian journeyman Rod Pampling. - NZME

Bursting the bubble Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat sees tonight’s muchanticipated clash against Sydney FC as an opportunity to burst the A-League leaders’ bubble.

As far as propositions go in the A-League right now, they don’t come much more daunting than playing the Sky Blues at Allianz Stadium. Graham Arnold’s side is undefeated, three points clear at the top of the table and haven’t conceded a goal after four rounds.

Muscat concedes Victory are the underdogs going into the first Big Blue of the season, but is confident his side travels to Sydney expecting success rather than hoping for it.

Djokovic into quarters Novak Djokovic recovered from a slow start as he continued the bid to retain his world number one ranking with a 4-6 6-2 6-3 win over 14th-seeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the Paris Masters third round yesterday. The Serb, needing to reach the final to stay ahead of Andy Murray at the top of the rankings, set up a quarterfinal clash with Croat Marin Cilic who clinched one of the two remaining spots for the ATP World Tour Finals with a 6-3 7-6 (9) win over Belgian David Goffin. Murray advanced in much easier fashion by demolishing France’s Lucas Pouille 6-3 6-0.

Red Bull owner angry

Shane van Gisbergen

Red Bull Racing owner Roland Dane has taken a swipe at defecting engineer Ludo Lacroix, accusing his long-time lieutenant of disloyalty. Lacroix announced a departure from powerhouse outfit Triple Eight this week, agreeing to join up-and-coming rival Supercars team DJR Team Penske in 2017.

In the latest sign of animosity between the sport’s leading team and the cashed-up Ford upstarts, Dane couldn’t resist criticising his technical director for disloyalty on the way out. “It’s what happens when you’re at the top of the category as we have been for a decade. People are going to come and try and steal people from you,” he said Pukekohe.

Top gong for Catherwood

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

R

ichard Catherwood received the Morgan Trophy as the Hammers’ Heartland Player of the Year at Mid Canterbury Rugby Union’s annual awards evening last night.

Catherwood played an integral role throughout the 2016 campaign for Mid Canterbury, offering his experience and guidance to younger players while producing consistent individual displays himself.

The 27-year-old donned the green and gold jersey for the 50th time in September when the Hammers downed West Coast, making him Mid Canterbury’s second most capped player in the current squad behind Jon Dampney.

The Methven midfielder’s journey to the Morgan Trophy is made more memorable by the fact that his name was not among those announced after the Watters Cup final.

Catherwood played just 40 minutes of club rugby this season, the cameo appearance came in Methven’s solitary Watters Cup victory over Hampstead.

He had been sidelined after sustaining a wrist injury in Thailand that required surgery.

But he was eventually called upon by co-coaches James Jowsey and Craig Dunlea after some impressive pre-season displays with the Mid Canterbury Development team.

Top honours Mid Canterbury Rugby Union’s annual awards evening was held at Hotel Ashburton last night, as players, coaches, officials and volunteers were recognised for their contribution to the game.

The premier awards were hotly contested with plenty of talent and dedication among Mid Canterbury’s rugby fraternity, but only one in each category can be given the nod.

Chris O’Malley picked up the Ant McGirr Trophy as Mid Canterbury Referee of the Year and Mark Hanrahan’s efforts earned him the Phillip McDonald Cup for the Rugby Volunteer Services Award.

Dale Palmer was presented with the Neville Goodwin Memorial Trophy for his outstanding individual coaching performance within Mid Canterbury Rugby Union, while Mt Somers were named Mid Canterbury Club of the Year.

Mid Canterbury right on the ball Mid Canterbury’s participation ratio of people playing rugby is the third highest in New Zealand.

Nine per cent of the total population of the Mid Canterbury District plays Rugby.

A further seven per cent are involved directly in the game through local clubs as administrators, volunteers or members.

Mid Canterbury has more than 230 coaches and a ratio of one coach for every nine players. This ratio puts the district in the top three nationally.

Mid Canterbury has one referee per 21 players compared with the national target of one for every 35 players.

This year saw a further five per cent increase in junior playing numbers, Mid Canterbury now has approximately 1300 players in the 0-12 year age band.

There has been a 10 per cent increase in the number of teenagers playing rugby in Mid Canterbury this year.

There has been 23 per cent growth in teenage numbers since 2012, this is against a national decline in numbers of 2 per cent.

Right – Richard Catherwood was named Mid Canterbury’s Heartland Player of the Year at Hotel Ashburton last night.

In brief Half-century for Savea All Blacks winger Julian Savea will notch up his 50th Test against the same Irish opponent where his international rugby journey began. Savea, nicknamed The Bus for his bulldozing play down the left flank, opened his test career in style against Ireland in 2012, nabbing a hat-trick in a 42-10 Eden Park thumping. He has since gone on to notch a further 42 tries, putting him just four behind alltime leading Kiwi tryscorer Doug Howlett.

Deans tips Lions The stakes are rising over next year’s eagerly awaited British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand with Robbie Deans suggesting the visitors can strong-arm their way to victory over the All Blacks. The former Crusaders and Wallabies coach believes the Lions could be physically superior to the All Blacks and that could pave the way for them to beat the Steve Hansenmentored world champions. “The Lions have the depth to pick from,” Deans told the BBC. “They have some once-in-a-generation players coming through, like [England second-rower] Maro Itoje. It won’t be easy but they can do it.” - NZME Celtic’s Angus Lindsay has been selected to the New Zealand Marist squad.

■ RUGBY

Angus up against some familiar faces When Mid Canterbury’s Maleli Sau, Jackson Donlan and Nete Caucau line up for the New Zealand Heartland XV against New Zealand Marist this afternoon, a

familiar face will be staring back.

Celtic’s Angus Lindsay was selected to the Marist side following an exemplary 2016 campaign.

The 25-year-old, who can operate at lock and loose forward, said yesterday that he is out to make the most of the experience.

New Zealand Heartland XV v New Zealand Marist, to be played at the Ardmore Marist Rugby Club, Papakura, 2.00pm today.

ABs’ band of brothers Saturday’s clash with Ireland is shaping up to be something of a family affair for the All Blacks, with two sets of brothers in the same matchday 23.

Savea brothers Julian and Ardie have been an ever-present fixture in coach Steve Hansen’s squads in 2016, making eight and nine test appearances respectively.

But tomorrow’s match in Chicago will serve as a first for the Barrett family, with star first-five Beauden in the No.10 jumper and brother Scott in line for a debut off the bench.

The Taranaki pair will become the 45th pair of Kiwi brothers to pull on the black jumper.

The appearance of two sets of brothers in the same matchday squad is the first since 1961, when the legendary Meads siblings were joined by Don and Ian Clarke against France.

“The opportunity to run out side by side, it’s going to be a proud moment,” Beauden said.

“Hopefully we both get the opportunity to be out there at once on Saturday, and it’d be pretty cool, the first time I’ve played with Scott.”

Little brother Jordie will also be present, though from the stands as he serves his apprenticeship in the All Blacks camp.

Beauden, who convinced his brother to join the Hurricanes in 2017, said the 19 -year-old utility had more than a few butterflies in his stomach on his first day.

“It was quite daunting for him and no doubt it still is, but he’s got nothing to prove.

“He’s just here to learn and physically develop,” Beauden said. “He’s got a lot of time to train and get in the gym and learn from the best.”

Beauden, who has dazzled in a near-flawless 2016 campaign for club and country, will take to Soldier Field for his 29th appearance in all competitions.

The Taranaki native knows the Irish better than most, having lived in the rural town of Ballinacree for 18 months as a child.

“We taught the little school how to play rugby, it was all round ball, Gaelic or soccer back then,” Beauden said.

New Zealand have never lost to Ireland, winning 27 Tests and drawing one since 1905.

Meanwhile, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has drilled one key lesson above all into young second-rower Patrick Tuipulotu.

Don’t be Sam Whitelock or Brodie Retallick – just be Patrick Tuipulotu.

However the burly Blues lock, 23, will have to do his best impression of the all-conquering duo when he lines up alongside an out-of-position Jerome Kaino against Ireland tomorrow.

Whitelock and Retallick, an ever-present combination in Hansen’s run-on XVs since 2012, have both been ruled out of the side’s first northern fixture of 2016 with injury.

Experienced understudy Luke Romano, meanwhile, was forced to travel home on Tuesday after suffering a loss in the family.

The trio’s absence makes Tuipulotu, with just 10 caps, the side’s most experienced locking option against the Irish.

Yet the Aucklander, who has made three Test appearances in 2016, said he still feels like a young kid when watching stalwarts such as Kaino do their thing.

“I’m still the kid who grew up idolising him and I still do now, with the way he plays,” Tuipulotu said. “(There’s) no issues at all, for me I’m just happy to get out there and play alongside him.”

Tuipulotu burst onto the Test scene in 2014, making seven appearances in the black jumper and going on the side’s end-ofyear tour.

Yet double hip surgery in 2015 saw the 127kg behemoth miss much of the Blues’ Super Rugby campaign and New Zealand’s World Cup title defence.

He then missed a chunk of the 2016 season with a hand injury.

It’s something that makes his current position even more satisfying.

“It goes to show how much work I’ve put in, especially with a big setback like that,” Tuipulotu said. “I still don’t think I’m where I want to be but I’m always wanting to improve.”

With Whitelock and Retallick unavailable, Hansen has called uncapped pair Scott Barrett and Vaea Fifita into the squad, with the former to start against Ireland on the bench.

- NZME

Wales set for Wallabies The Wallabies will kick-start their bid for a drought-breaking grand slam against a Wales team desperate to break the stranglehold placed upon them by the two-time world champions. The visitors insist their 11-game winning streak over Wales will be of no significance when tomorrow’s kickoff rolls around.

But for a Welsh playing group that has admitted to sleepless nights following last year’s famous World Cup defeat to the Wallabies, ending the streak - and killing Australia’s grand slam prospects at the first hurdle - would provide some rare sweet relief.

Garden-Bachop a Rebel New Zealand rising star Jackson Garden-Bachop has signed on as the final member of the Melbourne Rebels for the 2017 Super Rugby season. The 22-year-old playmaker, son of former All Black five eighth Stephen Bachop, and nephew of ex-All Blacks halfback Graeme Bachop, has agreed to a two-year deal with the Melbourne-based club. A versatile five-eighth, Garden-Bachop was a New Zealand Schoolboys representative in 2012 and New Zealand Under20s representative in 2014. - AAP

Payne to face ABs Fit-again Rob Kearney was restored at fullback and Jared Payne in the centres by Ireland for the test against New Zealand at Soldier Field tomorrow.

Whether to play Kearney was one of coach Joe Schmidt’s key decisions yesterday. Kearney hurt his hamstring and missed the tour of South Africa in June. Then he hurt knee ligaments in September.

Payne starred at fullback in South Africa, where Ireland beat the Springboks for the first time, but he has been reunited with Robbie Henshaw against the All Blacks.

Also back was flyhalf Jonathan Sexton, who missed the South Africa tour because of a right shoulder injury.

Reward for dedication to her sport

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury Netball president Karla Newlands’ dedication the game was recognised at the New Zealand Netball Awards at the Auckland War Memorial Museum on Thursday evening.

The former United player received the Volunteer of the Year award for her services to the game in the district.

Newlands, who has held various positions within Mid Canterbury Netball, has been president for the past three years and on the board for the past eight years.

Newlands has been involved in netball for as long as she can

remember, following in her mother Elizabeth’s footsteps who was a player, umpire and committee member.

Newlands retired from playing five years ago, but her passion for the game remains as strong as ever.

“I felt very humble receiving this award, there are many people doing voluntary work for netball so it was a huge honour,” she said.

“I certainly don’t do it for reward, so it was special night.

“A huge thanks to Mid Canterbury Netball and Netball Mainland for nominating me and to New World and Netball NZ for hosting us.”

Langman supreme Ousted Silver Fern Laura Langman has been awarded New Zealand Netball’s top prize for the second straight year. Langman, who will be ineligible to play for the Silver Ferns next season after signing a contract with the Sunshine Coast Lightning, scooped the Dame Lois Muir supreme award at the New Zealand Netball Awards. The midcourt star’s dominance of the awards will only raise further questions over Netball New Zealand’s decision to block their best player from representing the Ferns next year, bringing an end to an incredible unbroken run of 141 test matches.

Mansour ‘devastated’ Penrith boss Phil Gould expects Josh Mansour’s serious knee injury suffered on Australian duty at the Four Nations to affect most of his 2017 NRL season. The Penrith winger awaits reconstructive surgery after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in a freak mishap while training. A devastated Mansour faces a six-month rehabilitation but he may not undergo the surgery in Australia for another two weeks as he remains in England while risk of blood clotting from flying abates and swelling from the injury subsides.

Fear factor no longer applies to Kangaroos By michael mcKendry For the Kiwis, there is no longer advance Australian fear.

That has been the biggest change over the last two years of trans-Tasman league rivalry.

The Kiwis know that the Kangaroos, with their well-oiled combinations and greater depth, are a formidable outfit, and will still be favoured to triumph in Sunday’s Four Nations clash.

They realise that Australia have rebuilt this year under their new coaching regime, headed by Mal Meninga, and that it will need a herculean effort to topple them in Coventry.

But they also know how to beat Australia, what it takes to lower the green and golds.

The Kangaroos are no longer mythical creatures, “ten feet tall and bulletproof” as former Kiwis coach Graham Lowe used to joke in the 1980s.

But that hasn’t always been the case.

Up until a few years ago, there was a whole generation of players who had never beaten Australia.

At the start of the last Four Nations tournament (2014) men like Shaun Johnson, Jesse Bromwich, Kevin Proctor, Lewis Brown, Gerard Beale, Dean Whare and Kieran Foran had only known the bitter feeling of defeat in transTasman matches.

They could talk about beating Australia and be genuine in their belief – but until you actually do it - like a steep hill start, a half marathon or a best man’s speech – it’s hard to imagine what it actually takes.

That’s all changed now, with

Shaun Johnson is well aware of what it takes to defeat the Aussies.

the three game winning streak between October 2014 and May 2105 showing what is possible.

The tide may not yet be completely turning, but the gap is definitely closing.

After recording a solitary win in ten tests against the Kangaroos from 2010-2013, the Kiwis have won 50 per cent of the clashes since 2014.

Topping Australia is still a complicated equation – everything has to click for the Kiwis, as well as some luck go their way – but it is no longer an against the odds, Rocky Balboa type scenario.

“At this level any team is beatable,” said Kiwis winger Jordan Rapana.

“You have to give Australia respect; they are definitely a qual-

ity side, if not the best team in the world with the players that they have.”

“But with the confidence that we have amongst our boys, we believe that we can beat them.

We need to make sure we do our homework, address what we need to focus on and prepare well.

“Then bring our best games.”

Rapana excelled last Sunday against England with two well taken tries, but he is part of a right edge that still has question marks over it.

Shaun Johnson, Shaun KennyDowall and Rapana have struggled to gel defensively as a unit and will again be targeted by the Australians on Sunday (9am NZT) “We were a bit rusty on our defence in Perth,” said Rapana.

“We need to step up in that area and make sure there is no tries coming down our edge.”

Meanwhile, the absence of a veteran winger and the return of a long-serving forward are the significant aspects of the Kiwis team named to face Australia.

As suspected, winger Jason Nightingale has failed to recover from a nasty ankle injury sustained in the 17-16 win over England last week and is replaced by Gerard Beale.

The other change is also injury enforced, with Bulldogs forward Greg Eastwood coming into the 17 man squad for Jared WaereaHargreaves, who is carrying a knee strain and isn’t deemed to be 100 per cent fit.

Adam Blair, who was so impressive off the bench against England, will be part of the starting rotation in place of WaereaHargreaves.

- NZME

Australia coach Mal Meninga has named an extended 19-man squad for the crucial Four Nations clash against New Zealand in Coventry.

Meninga will make several changes to the side that beat Scotland, with Queensland big guns Johnathan Thurston, Greg Inglis, Darius Boyd and Matt Scott all recalled after being rested for the 54-12 win at Hull. Back-rowers Matt Gillett and Boyd Cordner also return along with Cronulla winger Valentine Holmes.

- AAP

Changes to haka The Kiwis are changing their strategy around the haka, after some concerns it could affect their performance at the start of test matches. The haka remains a great tradition – and is cherished by the team and their supporters – but some questions were raised after the match against the Kangaroos in Perth three weeks ago. After a typically impassioned haka, New Zealand struggled from the beginning of the game, barely getting their hands on the ball for the first 10 minutes. There were players that looked like they barely took a breath for around 90 seconds during the haka, and then they were straight into the action with no recovery.

Campese, 32, the former Canberra five-eighth who left Hull KR following their relegation from Super League, is returning to captain his old junior club Queanbeyan Blues next year. - AAP

AT HOME

Customise your space Is your sofa lacking pizazz? Is your seating area boring? Is that armchair uncomfortably bare?

Adding a throw pillow can really help to jazz up your seating area and making your own throw pillow can give your room a personal touch.

You will need some fabric of your choice (how much is

112 Creek Road, Ashburton

dependent on how big you want your pillow and remember you need a front piece and a bask piece) a sewing machine, needle and thread, any stuffing you want and a pair of scissors.

First of all, measure out the size of your pillow, make sure to leave a bit of buffer room for the stitching.

Once you have your two pieces of material, put them together, with the patterned sides facing each other so the seam is hidden when the pillow is complete. Sew up three of the sides and flip the case back the right way, with the patterned sides now facing out.

Sew up half of the open edge and stuff the pillow with whatever stuffing you have chosen.

Once the pillow is stuffed to your liking, sew up the final edge and put your pillow in its new home.

You could also customise your pillow further by making it a different shape, like a star or if you are confident in your sewing ability you could make a moon or a circle, as a curved edge is harder to sew around.

You could also get a plain coloured piece of fabric (like black or white) for the main body of the pillow and hand-stitch on different patterns in different colours. If you are feeling extremely creative, you could even make letter shaped pillows and spell out your name or the name of someone else in pillow form as an easy yet thoughtful gift.

Many of us see on our bank statements at the end of every month many see bank fees.

they asked me to do and in the presentation I asked for no bank fees and a contribution towards legal fees for the clients.

A quick look at a client’s statement provided for a loan and it nearly blew me away, it had blown them away already.

I received the following mix from the four banks.

• Bank A: $2,000 cash to pay for legal fees, no monthly bank fees as long as salary or wages were direct credited

• ATM Withdrawal fee • Eftpos Withdrawal fee • Network Withdraw fee

John Moore

• Manual fee • Eftpos fee • Electronic fee • Base fee • Overdraft facility fee Eight fees charged at the end of every month, this client came to me, as they wanted to change banks because they were staggered by all the fees they’re currently paying every month. PLUS their fixed rate mortgage was maturing. What set them over the top was that they were told there’d be a fixed rate fee to fix the mortgage for another term.

These clients couldn’t believe that they were bringing a business, their business

and they were being charged to do so.

There brief to me was to get them a good mortgage rate that gave them flexibility with no or low fees per month for their banking.

On discussion with them they made the comment that Banks say that a mortgage is a commodity, like buying a television, but they charge you for the right to bring your business to them. Have you every purchased a television and been charged for the right to buy it? No. When putting the mortgage application together, I put it across four banks which

• Bank B: $2,000 towards legal fees, no monthly bank fees while the mortgage was in place.

• Bank C: $500 contribution towards legal fees, no monthly bank fees while the mortgage was with them • Bank D: No bank fees while the mortgage was with the bank and salary direct credited to the bank The interest rates from these banks were all below their current carded interest rates and after going over with the clients they decided to take bank B’s offer. The interest rates offered were a better fit for them and gave them the flexibility they required.

*At the time of printing pay a loan application fee, a fixed rate fee or any of the above fees per month and they were paid $2000 for bringing their business to this Bank. If they’d stayed and paid the fixed rate fee they wouldn’t have known what was actually available for them.

This raises the question, have you looked at your bank statement lately and reviewed the fees and interest rates you’re paying or receiving on you accounts.

If you want these reviewed give me a call and I’ll see what I can do for you.

It was amazing that they are now saving over $800 per annum in fees let alone the interest rate savings. They didn’t have to

Trim your plants

Clean your patio

Trim away any sprawling plants to keep your garden looking neat and tidy. This very simple task can have your garden looking fantastic in minutes. Get a good pair of gardening scissors and make sure you wear gloves to keep your hands protected.

Regular weeding The most effective way of weeding is to pull them out by the root. But today, there are also many weed killer sprays and powders available to purchase from most garden centres or supermarkets. There are also some homemade weed killing remedies you could try such as boiling hot water, bleach or vinegar.

Keep your tools tidy Tools and gardening equipment can create clutter if they are not stored away properly. A garden shed is a fast and simple way of keeping everything you need in

A quick sweep and hose down will usually do the trick. Cleaning your patio will prevent build-up of dirt, grime or moss. Moss killers are available from supermarkets and garden centres if you need some extra help in getting rid of the unwanted growth.

You can scrub your patio with warm water and soap or you can use a pressure washer to target more stubborn dirt.

Clean Your Outdoor Furniture Outdoor furniture is a fantastic addition to any garden and it can transform your outdoor area into a brilliant social space. But furniture needs to be looked after if you don’t want your backyard space to look run down. Garden furniture should be wiped over with a wet cloth every week, and every so often, they may need a more thorough clean or polish.

Just be sure to check the care instructions with your furniture.

Whatever you plant, remember to mulch. As the weather warms up everything in the garden will take off – including weeds.

In brief

■ RICCARTON

Nymph Monte thriving Grant Nicholson has few concerns about Nymph Monte seeing out a strong 3200m for Saturday week’s Gr.3 Christchurch Casino 153rd New Zealand Cup at Riccarton.

The Wairarapa trainer paid the late entry fee for the Cup after the Tavistock five-year-old gelding ran out a convincing four-length victor of the Listed Spring Classic (2000m) at Riccarton last start.

“I was rapt with the way he dropped the bit and relaxed and then hit the line hard.

“It was good to see,” Nicholson said.

“We paid the late entry fee the Tuesday after that race and Danielle Johnson is booked right through.”

Johnson takes over from Nymph Monte’s Spring Classic-winning jockey Alysha Collett for Saturday’s Listed Gold Club Metropolitan Trophy Handicap (2500m) at Riccarton.

“We just want to see him drop

M6

the bit and do the same as last time.

“He’s improved out of his run last time because there was a month between races.

“He’s loving it down here. It’s like he’s on a road trip with the boys.”

Nicholson has Nymph Monte stabled at Riccarton and can’t wait for his star stayer to tackle the glamour 3200m of the New Zealand Cup. “In his breeding, everything in his family is a 2400m horse and further.

“If he relaxes like he’s been doing, I can’t see any reason why he won’t run out a strong two miles,” Nicholson said.

Nymph Monte shares second favouritism at $6 for the New Zealand Cup with the Chris Wood-trained Pacorus, with the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained Maygrove, a rival for Saturday’s Metropolitan, the $5 favourite.

Low a winner again After a quiet time of it recently, Raewyn Low has got that winning feeling back. The Ashburton horsewoman produced Linda’s Cullen to produce a victory on Thursday that suggested wouldn’t be the last time she’s in the circle this season. Low’s last winner was Ardwell’s Key two years ago.

Owned by Ron and Dallas Patterson along with George Henderson, Linda’s Cullen has always looked capable of winning a maiden and after a canny drive from Gavin Smith she has now ticked that off the list.

The Miracle Mile winner made sure everyone knew he was still in the mix when he won the annual Cup Trial, but the real excitement machine hasn’t shown up just yet but it was a step back in the right direction and it could be all down to a simple gear addition, bloomers, on the advice of his other co-trainer, Mark Purdon’s father, Roy. - HRNZ

One era ends, another begins Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

Y

esterday it was just another rushed morning as usual, dropping my daughter off to school at Mount Hutt College on the way to work.

But in the midst of all the commotion, I knew this was a day unlike all the others. It was a day that I had known would arrive some time, but it always seemed so far off that I guess I thought it might never really happen.

It’s sort of like in the heat of summer you can’t imagine how cold it gets in winter. Well, in the chaos of raising children, you never can really imagine life without it. But yesterday this day had finally arrived – the last day of school ever.

And not only was it my daughter’s last day, but my last day of taking my children to school altogether, as that milestone passed for her brother four years ago.

Driving to the school gates yesterday morning I blinked through tears as I recalled when the school journey began for my daughter.

Parking the car each day, holding her hand while walking up McDonald Street to Methven Primary School, then having to wait until the bell rang before she let me leave. That stage seemed to last forever!

There are so many stories to remember from both my children’s years at school. There are the not-so-good occasions, such as digesting school reports with the hopeful phrase “needs to try harder”, taking phone calls from frustrated teachers and dealing to head-lice infestations. And there are the good occasions, such as marking academic, cultural and sporting achievements, and enjoying happy times with friends.

Those school years are just memories now, but part of a very important past which has helped shape two human beings going off into the world.

Year 13 pupils across Mid Canterbury are getting up to all sorts of mischief this week, such as driving to school in their tractors at Mount Hutt College and having water fights at Ashburton College.

They are fun occasions buoyed by the anticipation of a whole new world opening up.

While there is sadness, at the same time a new era begins, as we all embark on new times and new experiences.

Unlike MPs, teachers and principals are in this for the long haul.

Consider this, since 1992 when I first began as a teacher there have been nine ministers of education in those 24 years, giving them an average tenure of 2.6 years.

The fact that Hekia Parata, Trevor Mallard and Lockwood Smith held the portfolio for almost 16 of the 24 years, shows how short some of the minister’s tenures have been.

Each minister has had a go at toying with the system, adding their agenda to the workload of schools. So my final bit of advice is this:

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

Y

et again, like a 14-yearold pimple-faced boy, I am rejected by the female species.

I thought being a career educator, with a receding hairline to prove it, would put me into the circle of trust with our education minister. No, minister Hekia Parata announces her retirement from the top job without letting me know first.

I’m used to rejection, I’ve tried cooking for my family and sending audition videos to New Zealand’s Got Talent, of me playing I Did It My Way on the kazoo. However, I thought my deeply thought-provoking opinion pieces on education (where I have restrained my use of sarcasm and flippant phrases), would build a connection with our elected leader. So obviously I’m not in the know about all things education, and therefore feel highly qualified to pen some words of advice and information to the next minister.

1. Working with children is like

reading a weather forecast.

When we teach we experience highs and lows. At times we face a hail of interruptions and can get snowed under by bureaucracy. Often we come across hot air billowing from those who sit on higher mountains than ours. Just when we need the sun of satisfaction to shine, a tropical storm like national standards rains on our parade. What does all of this mean? Children and their learning are unpredictable.

2. Our unions still wear sandals

and socks. Yes, when it comes to union thinking, we have catchy slogans like – “What do we want? – Morning Tea!” “When do we want it? – soon, before the holidays!” Our un-

5. Make sure you have a back-

Hekia Parata told to look for a black cat – that isn’t there.

So is a vision important?

Absolutely 100 per cent yes.

Otherwise we have this silly popularity situation whereby every three years politicians implore us to love them because they may give us what we see as essential in education, if we vote them in.

Had we been sticking to a strategic plan that was leading us towards meeting a national goal, then this pot pourri of popular policies from politicians would not exist.

Even now, amendments to the Education Act are open for submissions and we still do not have a single clear vision as to why our $1.1 billion dollar education system exists.

ions still believe in stop-work meetings to discuss ministry proposals that may not happen and printing cute little signs for teachers to hold up on West Street.

Unlike children, negotiations are predictable. They ask for 5 per cent over three years, you counter with nothing. They ask for 3 per cent over two years, you yawn. They ask for 1.1 per cent every 18 months for a promise not to vote in the Conservative Party. You agree then to team up with the right wing extremists and grant them another Charter School.

3. Write a vision for education.

Yip, strange that this may seem, but we still don’t have a national vision captured in the education act. What we do have is a raft of strategy changes to the direction of education, without a goal in mind. We are like a blind man, in a dark room, being

door in the Beehive with velcro on the back. That way it will be easier to take down.

up plan. You won’t be in the job for more than six years (the same as a primary school child at Tinwald School).

In the short time that you are there, leave the nuts and bolts of teaching and learning to the people who know what they are doing and focus on building a cohesive ministry of education around a central vision that remains untouched by triennial elections.

No doubt part of you wants to be remembered for what you have done in the job.

Honestly no-one will remember what you said, they will remember you for how you made them feel.

And there you have it, from an uncivil servant to the next big kahuna who is given the responsibility of leading a $1.1 billion taxpayer funded ministry, with no idea of why it exists – have fun with it, pull some ponytails, ignore airport security, deny there is a housing crisis, enjoy secret dinners with Chinese billionaires, after all – what could go wrong?

Berlin attack planned A suspected Islamic State member who was arrested in Berlin had been given permission to carry out a terrorist attack in Germany from a member of the extremist group in Syria, investigators say.

Ashraf al-T, the man arrested in Berlin’s western district of Schoeneberg, had received permission from an Islamic State militant in charge of planning attacks abroad.

“He is thought to have been given permission from there to plan an attack in Germany in the near future,” the federal prosecutor’s office said.

The suspect told police that he was 27 years old and Syrian, but security sources said he is believed to be a Tunisian national who portrayed himself as a Syrian asylum seeker.

According to a report in news magazine Focus, the man was planning a knife attack in Berlin and had called his commander in the group requesting permission to proceed after waiting impatiently.

The US secret service listened in on the phone call and alerted German authorities, Focus reported.

Ashraf al-T’s full name was withheld in keeping with German privacy laws. He arrived in Germany in 2015 and had been staying with a German

No explosives were found in the suspect’s possession.

A magistrate is to decide whether he will be remanded in custody and brought to Karlsruhe, the seat of the federal prosecutor’s office, which investigates all terrorism-related cases.

Ashraf al-T had been under surveillance by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency for several months before his

arrest alongside a German accomplice of a similar age.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said he was “very happy” to be able to have the suspect arrested and that German authorities were doing everything in their power “to avoid an attack in Germany.”

The tip-off came from an allied intelligence agency, which de Maiziere said was a sign that cooperation between international intelligence services was improving.

Germany has been on high alert since two terrorist attacks in the space of one week in July were claimed by Islamic State. Both were carried out by people who entered the country as asylum seekers.

In October, German authorities arrested a Syrian refugee who had reportedly travelled to a Berlin airport to plan a terrorist attack. He was later found hanged in the cell where he was being held.

Oprah releases Christmas must-have list Thanksgiving? Meh. Who needs turkey when one can advance directly to Oprah’s favourite things for the giftgiving holidays.

Yes, it’s that time of year, when “O, The Oprah Magazine” unveils the queen’s curated gift suggestions, to be included with discounts in the December issue. For 2016, there are exactly 101, a majority available on Amazon for the second year.

Oprah elves Gayle King, the magazine’s editor-at-large, and Adam Glassman, the creative director, presented highlights of the haul Tuesday after schlepping to food and trade shows in search of products for the boss lady to consider in June, when their Christmas begins.

“It was summer and the air conditioner broke so she was sitting there sweating like a brahma bull, but you know she’s always very pleasant,” King told The Associated Press in an interview with Glassman, of Oprah’s hands-on process this year.

“And she was wearing this cute little one-piece onesie,” Glassman said, “and I kept saying, ‘Don’t you want a Tshirt?’ and she kept saying, ‘No, I want my onesie!’”

“With the tennis shoes and the vest,” King chimed in.

The outfit they spoke of has

Tiny Tunes animal speakers Oprah looking Christmas fly in red stripes, Santa cap and bright red high-tops on the December cover, to hit newsstands soon.

The list includes a range of price points for a range of gift recipients.

Some highlights include: Oprah’s Poinsettia Flower Pot Cake - on the outside, it looks like the actual holiday plant. On the inside is chocolate cake goodness with vanilla mousse. Very sweet.

“Food, Health and Happiness,” by Oprah herself: Part memoir, part cookbook, a little bit of self-help. Weight Watchers points are included. It’s for fans willing to wait until the book comes out in January.

Yonanas Elite: Speaking of points, fruit equals zero. This sorbet maker turns frozen fruit into soft-serve with no added sugar.

Travel cord rolls: Who hasn’t wasted way too much time untangling cords? Oprah has, and she’s had it. This is a compact, roll-up case with slots to keep your ear buds and charging cords in order. In coloured leather, including blue, pink, green and aqua.

Beats by Dr. Dre, Powerbeats3: They’re wireless, light weight and offer a quick fiveminute charge for one hour of playback.

Tiny Tunes: They’re littlecreature speakers that pack a powerful sound via Bluetooth, and they’re one of Gayle’s favourites this year. Oddly enough, you can enable a selfie feature and snap a pic. .

Supersonic Dyson Hair Dryer: Oprah promises that it’s super-fast, and it has the signature Dyson hole in the middle. It promises a quiet motor, three magnetic attachments and, did we mention, speed.

Organic sachets: They’re filled with dried rose petals and lavender florets to scent lingerie. In a gifty little green box topped by a big splashy flower.

Peoni cleansers and toners: New line of products from Oprah’s facialist, Jennifer Bro-

deur. Free of toxins, artificial fragrances and gluten.

Jellycats: Unusual, inviting critters with fluffy feather appeal. The hug potential is great. In medium and large sizes, including an ostrich, swan and chicken.

Children’s slippers: Washable terry cloth with non-slip bottoms. Choose cushy white bunnies, brown pups, yellow ducks and more.

Family onesies: Just like Oprah’s. Let baby and bigger kid in on family pajama bonding in horizontal holiday red-andwhite stripes. In cozy organic cotton.

Glyph: It looks like headphones but in true “Star Trek” manner it plugs into any HDMI-supported device, goes across the eyes and can be used for everything from checking email to watching movies in digital HD. Serif TV: Owe somebody a big-box gift that’s functional and looks like a piece of modern art? This elegant smart TV can be placed on a counter or on its own minimalist stand. It has apps, a full web browser, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

She says a producer once told her she’d never work in this town again when she refused to pose semi-naked for a men’s magazine.

Kunis writes that she is “fortunate that I have reached a place that I can stop compromising and stand my ground, without fearing how I will put food on my table.” She says she hopes that by adding her voice to the conversation, working women feel more empowered.

Turkey detains Kurds Authorities in Turkey detained 11 pro-Kurdish lawmakers early Friday as part of ongoing terrorrelated investigations, including both party co-chairs and other senior officials, the Interior Ministry said.

People’s Democratic Party, or HDP, co-chairs Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag as well as other prominent figures such as Sirri Sureyya Onder and Idris Baluken were among those detained, according to the ministry’s statement.

The detentions occurred in the middle of the night, with cochair Demirtas describing on Twitter how he was taken into custody: “Police officials are at the door to my house in Diyarbakir with a detention warrant.”

State-run Anadolu Agency reported co-chair Yuksekdag was detained in her home in Ankara.

The ministry says the detention warrants were issued by the chief public prosecutors of the southeastern provinces of Diyarbakir, Sirnak, Hakkari, Van and Bingol.

Anadolu reported the lawmakers were detained for not appearing in court to testify for ongoing terrorism-related investigations.

The government accuses the HDP of being the political arm of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which has fought an armed insurgency against the

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other senior government officials have repeatedly called for the prosecution of proKurdish lawmakers on terrorismrelated charges, which was made possible after legal immunities protecting legislators from prosecution were lifted in May. Hundreds of charges were filed against HDP lawmakers follow-

ing the lifting of immunity, including “disseminating terrorist propaganda” to “membership in an armed terrorist organization.”

Demirtas reportedly reacted to the lifting of immunity by saying none of his fellow party members would voluntarily appear in court to testify. “If they want our testimony they’ll have to force us there,” he said, according to Anadolu.

Earlier this week Gultan Kisan-

ak, the HDP mayor of the largest predominantly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir, along with co-mayor Firat Anli, was arrested over alleged membership in the PKK. The government appointed a local Ankara district administrator to take over Kisanak’s duties.

In September, the government similarly ousted 28 mayors and other administrators, mostly from the HDP, and appointed trustees in their place.

Brexit sees calls mount for emergency election Theresa May is trying to restore her grip on Brexit as calls mount for an emergency general election to settle the question of British withdrawal from the EU. The Prime Minister was engaging in an urgent round of telephone diplomacy in the wake of the High Court decision which insisted Parliament must have the final say on Britain triggering divorce deal negotiations with Brussels.

Mrs May is calling European Commission president JeanClaude Juncker in a bid to persuade continental leaders that the explosive legal ruling would not shake her from the pledge to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon

Ashburton Guardian

Treaty - which would formally launch Brexit - by April next year.

But the uncertainty created by the High Court judgement was underlined by Tory former chancellor and ardent proEuropean Ken Clarke, who told BBC Newsnight he would move to block invoking Article 50.

With the largely pro-EU Commons in the Brexit driving seat pending an appeal of the High Court ruling to the Supreme Court in early December, interim Ukip leader Nigel Farage called on Mrs May to call a snap general election.

The move came as Communities Secretary Sajid Javid gave a

scathing response to the judgment as he branded it “unacceptable”.

Asked on BBC Question Time if the High Court ruling flew in the face of democracy, Mr Javid said: “Yes, it does.”

He added: “This is an attempt to frustrate the will of the British people, and it is unacceptable.”

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Farage said: “The best thing Theresa May could do now would be to call a general election, but it is unlikely that Labour MPs, led by a man they don’t believe in, would be keen on facing the likely electoral oblivion that would follow.”

Under the Fixed Term Parlia-

ment Act brought in by the ToryLiberal Democrat coalition, the slated May 2020 general election could be brought forward only if two thirds of MPs vote for it or the Government loses a vote of no confidence and other parties cannot form an alternative administration within 14 days of such a move.

After the High Court ruling rocked Westminster, Brexit Secretary David Davis conceded that an act of Parliament would now be needed to trigger Article 50, with Mrs May’s spokeswoman stating his view was the “logical conclusion” to draw from the High Court judgment.

Test may predict birth weight

Aust may ditch 5¢ coin

A urine test for pregnant women may provide a simple way of predicting birth weight, research suggests.

Scientists linked essential nutrients found in urine called branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) with variations in birth weight.

“We found that a 50 per cent increase in the mother’s level of individual BCAAs equated to a 1 to 2.4 per cent increase in birth weight, or 5-11 grams,” Dr Muireann Coen, from Imperial College London, said.

Lifestyle comparisons showed that BCAA variability between mothers could

Mr Turnbull was more open to the five cents debate than his treasurer, who famously refused to answer the question when asked the day after the

■ FAMILY BUSINESSES

Call for better planning While many New Zealand family businesses experienced increased growth last year, they may fail to capitalise on future opportunities because of poor strategic planning, a new survey has revealed.

Financial services firm PwC’s 2016 family business survey included interviews with more than 2,800 businesses in 50 countries, which had turnovers ranging from $US5 million ($NZ6.8m) to over $US1 billion ($NZ1.36b).

It revealed one third of New Zealand respondents expected to see steady growth over the next five years and 79 per cent expected to earn most of their revenue from the same products they sold today.

But PwC partner Robbie Gimblett said the report also warned that many families were unable to turn promise into sustainable success because they did not adequately plan for leadership succession and long term goals.

“What’s confusing is that 62 per cent of NZ respondents feel that it is very important to ensure the long-term future of the business yet 51 per cent have no succession plans in place for senior roles,” he said.

Mr Gimblett said he was also worried by how few New Zealand family businesses planned on ex-

“An important balancing act for family businesses is staying profitable and continuing to build value for the future,” he said.

“However, only 31 per cent of local respondents are currently working outside of NZ, compared to half of our global respondents.”

“A worrying minority of eight per cent said they will move into different export markets, while 28 per cent (are) aiming to become more innovative.”

Pest Control Technician

Do you take pride in your work, have a high level of attention to detail, are reliable, possess a “can do” attitude, and like to travel the countryside?

Are you able to do a variety of general workshop tasks, multi task and cope in a busy environment (even though your position will be less hectic)?

Then we want to hear from YOU! Unfortunately due to Grahame hanging up his broom for a different pace of life, we are currently looking for a humorous dedicated person to attend to our workshop needs, deliver parts to work-sites, keep an eye on basic stock levels, monitor vehicle maintenance, and most importantly keep our work-shop in top order. The position will be part time, hours negotiable for the right person, and would suit a semi-retired person.

So if you feel you are able to step up and take over Grahame’s broom, and have a current driver’s license, feel free to apply.

Please apply to: stockerdairyservices@xtra.co.nz Or post your CV to: PO Box 668, Ashburton 7740

Due to an increase in work load we require a pest control technician trainee, the applicant must have a full clean license and undergo a drug test and police check.

Full training will be given.

Good remuneration for the right applicant, must be able to work on their own, be presentable with good communication skills.

Please apply in writing outlining work history to: Spiderban Ltd, P.O Box 6023, Ashburton

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you pretend it’s your job to help the other person express himself, you will have a transcendent conversational experience (with someone you may not agree with, or even like): TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): If only you could be a fly on the wall where she works or a shadow that follows him through his day. Casual and gentle interest will gradually open the relationship.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you go into it pretending you have no problems, you’re wasting time. There’s something to be gained from handing over the flaw. Be brave.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): What fits the occasion today may not suit you next season, but that’s something to consider later. Speak your mind. Live this moment. Better to do what you’ll regret than to regret what you didn’t do.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There are times when forgiveness is harder. You’re not holding a grudge exactly, but there’s a bit of justice to be served here, and it feels you’d be doing all a disservice if you were to simply let it go.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You pride yourself on being useful in a crisis, but you’re even more useful in avoiding such things. They may never appreciate what you do to steer clear of drama today, but you should feel good about it!

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There’s a difference between listening to what others are saying so you can use it and build on it with your own story and listening to help another person articulate what’s on his or her mind and heart.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The way you’re acting – they’ll swear you have a secret. Of course you do! And no matter how badly they want to know, they’ll have to settle for revelling in the delicious air of mystery around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Before you endeavour to resolve a discrepancy, settle a dispute or dispel a doubt, consider why you need so badly to fix it. Also, is it yours to fix? Might there be a benefit to leaving it broken?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Whatever a quality lifestyle is to you, you can bet others share enough common elements in the Venn diagram to warrant a serious go at combining efforts and forming a relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You seek greater control over your life and feel driven to start with your body. Doing too much or restricting too much will be counterproductive.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Those who support you best may turn a blind eye to things you do to sabotage your own success. Get on your own support team. This method may just work.
