The job of delivering the news – good and bad – to Ashburton’s four mayoral candidates on Saturday afternoon, will fall to Ashburton District Council chief executive Hamish Riach.

When progress election results are forwarded to the council by Electionz. com, Riach will be on the phone, delivering the good news first, congratulating his new mayor. He’ll follow that with calls breaking the less welcome news to the others.

Candidates for the council will find out their fate either by a phone call from a council officer or by email – their choice.

The district’s mayor is likely to be on the job next week, but ultimately that’s

their choice, Riach said.

“I will offer them a meeting with myself first thing Monday morning, however, it will depend on their preferences and commitments.”

The mayor elect, however, cannot officially act as mayor until the final results are declared later in the week. The swearing in ceremony for the mayor and councillors is likely to take place on October 24.

“We will, of course seek their view as mayor-elect on any matter that would normally be performed by a mayor, but until they are sworn in, they cannot officially act,” he said.

The first progress results, likely to be known early Saturday afternoon. These are based on the count of approximately 98 per cent of returned votes but will

not include some special votes and votes that are cleared from the ballot box in the council’s reception on Saturday morning.

Saturday’s ballot box votes are couriered to the vote processing centre in Christchurch and once they have been counted, preliminary results will be issued later in the afternoon.

Results will be available on the council’s website www.ashburtondc.govt.nz and a printed result sheet will also be posted on the council’s main door.

Final results and the total number of voting papers returned will be known later next week.

ELECTION

Leen Braam

Neil Brown

Donna Favel

Tony Todd

The Ashburton District mayoralty –

One job, four candidates

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District could be looking at its tightest mayoral race in many years, with four candidates chasing the district’s top job.

Word on the street is that the mayoral race is too close to call, but in less than 36 hours the votes will be counted, preliminary results known and Ashburton’s leader for the next three years will be celebrating their success.

The outcome of this election could spell the end of their local body careers for two candidates, the start of a new career in local government for one or a mix of options for the fourth – the mayoralty, life as a district councillor, or like two of his rivals, it could be career ending.

Incumbent mayor Donna Favel is seeking re-election. If she misses the top job, after two terms as a councillor and one as mayor, her time around the council table will be over. ‘

Likewise for five-term councillor Neil Brown. He is seeking election as mayor only. For these two the election is an all or nothing event.

Local government newcomer Tony Todd is also chasing only the mayoralty, but one-term councillor Leen Braam is hedging his bets – standing for both the mayoralty and as an urban ward councillor.

All four are philosophical about the outcome and say they have a plan B ready in case votes don’t go their way.

For each, tomorrow will be a day of anxious waiting, waiting for a phone call that will effectively see them become very public property for the next three years.

And all four plan a low-key day while they await results. For most, friends and family will be sharing that wait with them.

Tony Todd said he’ll be doing what he does most Saturday mornings, heading to the supermarket, but tomorrow he’ll be

buying for friends who’ll be turning up early afternoon to share a drink – win or lose.

And there’ll be food in the Weber to ensure no-one goes hungry, he said.

“We’ll be having a happy, social day, whatever the result. You have to go with the decision process; if you get the tick, that’s fine. It’s always unknown.

“The feedback I’ve received has been positive but you’re in the hands of the voters, that’s just the way it is.”

Todd said he was relaxed about the outcome. He has a plan B – if he misses out on the mayoralty, he and wife Christine could be driving off into the sunset on a campervan tour of New Zealand.

Leen Braam said he’ll be spending a fair percentage of election day working around his property.

Family will arrive later in the day and together they plan to watch the All Blacks play Italy in the Rugby World Cup. He’s standing for both the may-

oralty and for council and said he’ll be happy with however the results go – mayoralty, councillor or Joe citizen.

“Yes, I’d like to get the mayoralty but if not, so be it, if I don’t get the job, that’s fine. I’ve got a great life outside council. Waiting is always an anxious time, but I’m happy either way. It’s what people want.”

For Neil Brown, Saturday morning will be business as usual – a bit of farm work and then a whip around town taking down his election signs.

“We’ve got friends coming round on Saturday lunch time for a few drinks while we wait for results but we’ll be celebrating – one way or the other.”

That celebration could be the mayoralty or it could be the conclusion of a 15-year stint as a district councillor, Brown said.

“I feel I’ve put my best foot forward. If people want me, that’s fine; if not, that’s fine too.”

If the votes don’t go his way,

Brown said he would be spending more time on the businesses he and wife Judy own and overseas travel would be getting higher priority in their lives.

Current mayor Donna Favel won’t be sitting around worrying about election results tomorrow.

After some “me time” in the morning for a massage, she’s rostered on to work at the Regent Cinema she and husband David own.

“I anticipate I’ll be there all day and on Sunday, apart from some time out to do the Hope for Hakatere walk,” she said.

She’s taking on board advice she often gives others – “hope for the best, but plan for the other”, she said.

Whichever way the election results go, Favel said she’ll be spending the weekend with David.

She’s tidied her mayoral office, just in case, and yesterday was getting a head start on her cinema office – just in case.

A weekend of mud & steel

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

The Methven Lions are keeping their fingers crossed that weather stays clear over the weekend for the first Methven Mud & Steel 4WD event.

The event sees teams of two in a 4WD vehicle use its motive power and its winch to climb up ridiculously steep and muddy hills.

“The course is all set up and ready to go and looking at some of those hills I wouldn’t climb up them let alone drive a vehicle up them,” Methven Lions Mac McElwain said.

“One section of the course is called the bog and that is what it is, a literal bog.”

Despite mud being a key part of the event, McElwain said he had been worried looking at the weather forecast for the weekend with rain predicted, but with those predictions changing, he is confident the event will be a success.

Tickets are still available online and can also be purchased from the gate.

“We have sold 170 tickets online which is a good sign, but I expect a lot of families will be waiting to see what the weather does on the day, while it will be the hardcore people who have purchased their tickets online,”

he said.

“There was a similar event held in Sheffield about a month ago and, while that was more of a give-it-a-go day, they had 3000 people turn up.”

Around 26 vehicles have been entered in the event, with some ranging in price of up to

$100,000. The event will form a round of the national championship, the NZ1 Winch Challenge, sponsored locally by Harmer Earthmoving, and include entrants from the North Island as well as from all over the South Island.

Money raised from the project

will be put towards the KidzMethven skatepark and the Lions Charitable Trust.

The event is being held on Carneys Road, Alford Forest, and begins at 8.30am tomorrow.

Tickets and more information can be found on www.methvenmudandsteel.co.nz.

Voters in many parts of New Zealand might be passing up their democratic right to have a say in this year’s local body elections, but that’s not the case in the Ashburton District.

With just over 24 hours until polls close, voter numbers for the district are on track to equal, if not exceed those achieved in the 2016 election, 53.2 per cent.

By late Wednesday 45.34 per cent of ballot papers had been returned ahead of the 2016 return rate at the same time, 42.72 per cent. Across the district 21,865 people are eligible to vote.

In many parts of New Zealand, this year’s election is shaping up to go down in history as the one with the lowest voter engagement. Some areas are counting returns in less than 20 per cent, with cities faring the worst.

Generally return numbers are stronger in the South Island, but the Selwyn and Waimakariri districts are both showing low returns, 30.00 per cent and 36.33 per cent respectively.

Voting papers can be completed and dropped into the ballot box in the Ashburton District Council’s reception area until noon on Saturday.

Christchurch man admits counterfeit crimes A Christchurch man who was linked to four of seven counterfeit bank note complaints in Ashburton has pleaded guilty in a Christchurch court to 18 charges.

The man, Arumadura Manoj Kristhnan Dayachandra De Silva, 29, of St Albans, admitted 17 charges of using forged documents and one charge of theft which also related to a forged bank note.

Judge Jane Farish remanded him for sentencing on November 21. She asked for a pre-sentence report which will consider his suitability for a home detention sentence.

OPEN HOMES or view our open homes in 3D “24/7”

www. realestatenewzealand. net.nz/open-homes/

said De Silva had no previous convictions, and accepted Judge Farish’s question that his immigration status could be become an issue now that he has been convicted.

He said De Silva now had no suitable address, but if he was able to arrange one a bail application would be made during the remand, and the address could be considered for home detention.

Two people had been arrested in relation to an ongoing counterfeit money investigation in Canterbury, but they are not linked to the complaints in Mid Canterbury made earlier this year.

The offending took place in June and July in Christchurch, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, and Ashburton.

On many occasions it was not noticed that the notes were counterfeits until he had left the store, and his registration was apparently noted after he left an Ashburton store.

On July 2 he attempted to pay for $50 of petrol with a forged $100 note which staff refused to accept.

De Silva became abusive and left without paying for fuel, which lead to the theft charge being laid.

Defence counsel Tony Greig

Mid Canterbury Sub-Area Supervisor Senior Sergeant Leigh Jenkins said previously the best advice for anyone who has come into possession of notes they believed to be counterfeits was to hand them into a police station in an envelope.

The Reserve Bank spokesperson said the notes are mainly being passed at fast food outlets and service stations, and are in a variety of denominations, from both series of polymer notes in circulation.

“All the fakes are easily detected through having the wrong feel as they are paper and will easily tear

Price

on an edge, unlike genuine polymer notes,” they said. “They also have visibly imperfect or missing see-through windows.

“None of the security features of genuine New Zealand banknotes have been compromised.”

The Reserve Bank spokesperson said they are continuing to liaise with Canterbury business networks and chains to ensure staff are trained and reminded to check notes as they are handed over.

More information on how to spot counterfeit notes can be found on the Reserve Bank’s website www.rbnz.govt.nz.

Hundreds of dogs to converge on Mid Canty

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Kelpie cross Oi has come a long way from when she was found abandoned in a riverbed as a puppy.

Her owner Debbie Woods is preparing the two-year-old, as well as her other dogs Russell the staffy cross and Bisket the terrier shih tzu cross, for the Mid Canterbury Dog Training Club’s biannual agility event.

The club has record high entries for the event to be held at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds on October 19 and 20, with about 290 dogs coming from throughout New Zealand.

Among them will be Oi, who with just a few months of competition behind her is still learning agility tasks.

Woods, an animal control officer, retrieved Oi from the pound, after she was found in a riverbed.

Despite her disadvantaged start to life, Oi loved people and was coming along nicely, doing well at both agility and obedience, Woods said.

“She’s a little bit goofy.”

Her high sociability could let her down at times, as she would often get distracted from the

A memorial mountain bike ride and plaque unveiling will be held to commemorate the life of Paul Skinner, who passed away suddenly last month, aged 47.

Keas to converge On Saturday around 270 Keas from around the South Island are expected to flock to Ashburton, but not the bird kind. Keas, which is the 5-to-8-year-old section of the Scouts is celebrating its 40th birthday with a big celebration at the Mania-o-roto Scout Park on Saturday. Mania-o-roto zone leader Michelle Brown said they were expecting around 270 children to be on-site from 1pm to about 6.30pm. Brown said it was the first time an event of this size for Keas had been held in the district, but there may be other big gatherings in the pipeline.

Visitors are also invited to take up their pooches for a dog derby, where canines are invited with their owners to go through a course on the snow.

task at hand and run off to introduce herself to people.

“I think I’m just taking my time with her, some things you just can’t rush, you have to keep it fun and enjoyable,” Woods said.

About 20 of the dogs competing at the event will be from Mid Canterbury, while the remainder will be from throughout New Zealand.

Many will be on the way to the national show at Cromwell at

Labour Weekend.

Woods will also compete at the national event, alongside three other Mid Canterbury members – Caroline Sinclair with Diggles, Mady Bensdorp with Dusty, and Carol O’Connor with Shaye.

Memorial ride to commemorate Paul Skinner

By Susan Sandys

In brief

wanting to participate in the ride can access the unveiling separately via a nearby carpark.

The ride will take in the Ashburton River Trail loop and a sausage sizzle will follow.

Organiser Brad O’Brien said he and friends got together to hold the event to commemorate the life of Skinner, who had been a committed mountain biker and volunteer on the river trail.

In addition, the event would be a fundraiser, as they wanted to support Skinner’s son Jacob.

The group felt it was important, in particular, that Jacob could continue with the sport he and his dad had been passionate about – motorcycle racing.

A donation of $10 per rider has been suggested for the memorial ride, but any amount would be gratefully received, O’Brien said.

O’Brien has also set up a givealittle page, which has raised about $1000.

As well as having been a committed member of the Mid Canterbury Mountain Bike Club and keen motorcycle racer, Skinner was considered a leader and hard worker in the community, known for throwing himself into everything he did with passion, energy and a down-toearth sense of humour.

Footage outlawed The Government has deemed footage of the recent terrorist attack in Germany objectionable, meaning it is illegal to download or distribute it in New Zealand.

This puts the footage in the same category as the video that was live-streamed during the March 15 terror attacks in Christchurch.

Wednesday shots were fired outside a synagogue and into a kebab shop in the eastern German city of Halle.

hen you have a dream that involves moving a vast amount of dirt, that requires roads to be carved out of an empty paddock, and pipes buried deep in the ground you need to call in the experts, say John Skevington and Jo Ruane.

Their subdivision the Village Green, is being developed on terraced land above Lake Hood and while it represents many years of dreaming and planning, the project could not have become a reality without the team from Ashburton Contracting Ltd (ACL), they say.

In June ACL’s men and machines moved on site and since then they’ve laid pipes to connect to the Lake Hood water supply, have buried pipes for storm and wastewater, created retention ponds and created roads and footpaths, carving out the shape of the subdivision. But that’s only the visible work.

If John and Jo’s Village Green development is venturing into new territory above ground, below ground it is also moving into innovative fields for the Ashburton District with a low pressure sewage system rather than gravity feed system installed because of the high water table in the area.

The ACL team is taking care of every stage of the project – apart from landscaping – water, sewer, waste water, roads and footpaths, each

has been completed to the highest standard, John said.

“They’re an amazing bunch of guys, nothing’s a problem to them and if any problems do arise, they just get on and sort them out.”

In terms of workmanship, what’s been achieved by the ACL team is second to none and a friend who had been involved in a large number of subdivisions described the Village Green as one of the tidiest worksites he’d seen, John said.

After years of planning to get the project to the point where ground work could begin, it was a relief to hand the job over to a team of experts, he said.

“Everything they do is on time and on schedule. Until you do a subdivision you don’t realise how much work goes on underground.

Some of these guys are down in trenches all day and they still come out smiling. It’s so important for us know all our underground services are A1 and we know that the work they’ve done underground is as tidy as the work above ground.”

Ashburton was lucky to have a home grown contracting company of the calibre of ACL, John said.

“ACL staff are all incredibly skilled at what they do and one of the great things is you’re working with locals, with guys you know. We’ve had a lot of laughs with them.”

ACL had made the development stages of the project pretty stress free, John said.

“It’s been the easiest stage of the project for us. They were our contractor of choice for efficiency, workmanship and pricing. They had the whole package really and they’re so easy to work with. They’re flexible and you can always get hold of them no matter who you need to talk to.”

In all aspects of the development, John said their preference had been to work with local contractors if possible and ACL fitted that brief too.

And it wasn’t in just the physical work that ACL stood out, the company’s approach to health and safety on site had been impressive, he said.

“They’re really strict with this. Even when we visit we have to sign in and wear all the appropriate gear. It’s great.

They don’t compromise in any area.

It’s absolute professionalism at every level.”

Village Green is a unique housing concept for the Ashburton District. It is a 32-home, village style development spread over 20 hectares with each property having unique views of the mountains.

It will be released to the market in stages, with 17 home sites in the first release.

Accessory sale opening its doors

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

Mid Cantabrians will get the chance to get their hands on a wide range of pre-loved accessories and support the local community at the same time.

The Ashburton County Lions Club are bringing back their accessory sale later this month for three days.

“We did it approximately six years ago and it was a huge success and we have had members of the community asking when we were going to do another one,” publicity co-director Lynda Tayles said.

Off the back of that, the club decided to bring it back for 2019, as the club’s big fundraiser for the year. Their other big one is Stars In Their Eyes which is held biennially.

Tayles said the community had already thrown their support behind the event, with plenty of accessories already donated by the community.

“If people are coming along thinking they are getting new items there won’t be any, they are pre-loved, but it is good stuff and we check it all,” she said.

The group is still collecting items and accessories can be dropped at Community House or people can contact Francie Pritchard on 03 308-7947.

The proceeds from the event will go towards the Lives Worth Living co-ordi-

nator/facilitator which is part of Safer Ashburton, local youth groups and Lions’ Club of Ashburton County Charitable Trust.

The role is completely funded by the community and is a new suicide prevention initiative that will run workshops that will focus on empowering people in the

community to offer practical support, giving people an awareness and skills to recognise when further help is needed.

The accessory sale will run for the three days out of the former Caroline Eve shop on East Street and will be open from 10am to 4pm on October 17 and 18, and from 10am to 2pm on October 19.

Chance to bag a bargain

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When it comes to giving, it takes a lot to beat the generosity of the Ashburton community, say Birthright fieldworker Christne Muff and SEEDS co-ordinator Marie McNulty.

That generosity, however, has created a problem – in a good way. Storage facilities at their base in Community House are overflowing with clothing and bedding and they want to share that bounty with families needing to top up their children’s wardrobes.

The items have all been donated and on Saturday they’ll have a chance to find new owners when the two organisations set up a garage sale in Community House.

It’ll be a simple system, with boxes filled with clothing available to rummage through and shoppers will definitely be bagging a bargain as the price will be fill a bag for $5, McNulty said.

“We’ve had a lot of donations over the past six months and we just cannot store

it all. We have more than we need so we want to pass it along, let other people have an opportunity to get some clothing for their children,” she said.

The garments are in good order and some have not been worn. Clothing has been sorted by size and is available to fit from newborn babies to 14-year-olds.

Birthright has between 80 and 90 families on its books and SEEDS regularly works with between 14 and 15 families at a time. Both groups rely on community support and proceeds from the garage sale will be used by both organisations to benefit their clients.

“We want to share what we have and this fundraiser means that money from the clothing people have donated will still benefit our clients,” Muff said.

“The community helps us and this is about us helping the community.”

The Birthright and SEEDS garage sale will be held in the Community Centre’s Rakaia Room from 11am to 1pm on Saturday.

Trump impeachment charge more certain AP The combative White House letter vowing to defy the “illegitimate” impeachment inquiry has actually put President Donald Trump on a more certain path to charges. His refusal to honour subpoenas or allow testimony would likely play into a formal accusation against him.

The letter sent to House leaders by White House Counsel Pat Cipollone Tuesday evening declared the president would not cooperate with the investigation – a clear reason, Democrats say, to write an article of impeachment charging him with obstruction.

The White House insists that a formal House vote is necessary just to start the impeachment process. But Democrats are moving ahead without one, confident for now that they are backed by the Constitution and Trump’s own acknowledgements of trying to persuade a foreign government to investigate a political foe.

Trump again defended his decision not to cooperate, calling a whistleblower’s complaint about his call with Ukraine’s leader “a fraud being perpetrated on the American public” and saying Republicans are being treated unfairly. He repeated he was being vilified for “a perfect phone call.”

But the president also undercut his no-cooperation argument Wednesday by putting conditions on his willingness, saying he would cooperate only if the House held a vote and Democrats would “give us our rights.”

Bolstered by polls showing increased public support for impeachment, Pelosi has shown no signs of shifting her strategy.

Democrats plan to continue investigating while focusing on the president’s own acknowledgements that he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy

NCIS star thanks fans

President Donald Trump answers questions from reporters. to investigate his country’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election and also political rival Joe Biden and his family.

The intelligence panel, along with the Foreign Affairs and Oversight and Government Reform panels, subpoenaed Gordon Sondland, the US European Union ambassador, after Trump’s State Department barred him from showing up at a scheduled deposition. Texts provided by another diplomat last week showed Sondland and others navigating Trump’s demands for investigations as they spoke to Ukrainian government officials about a possible visit to Washington.

Trump’s stonewalling of impeachment comes as polls find that Americans are more likely to approve than disapprove of the inquiry, even as they divide on whether Trump should be removed from office.

Still, the White House signalled it would not give an inch.

Trump has taken to Twitter frequently to bash the probe, charging that the inquiry is not about anything more than partisan politics.

“The Do Nothing Democrats are Con Artists, only looking to

hurt the Republican Party and President,” Trump wrote. “Their total focus is 2020, nothing more, and nothing less.”

After two weeks of an unfocused response to the impeachment probe, the White House letter amounted to the first volley in a strategy that is more defined – but one that carries its own risks.

But Trump allies, both inside and outside the West Wing, were pleased at the shot the letter represented.

They argue their best chance at winning the politics of impeachment is to emulate the just-say-no tactics they used for much of the special counsel’s Russia probe and against other investigations launched

by Democrats in the House majority.

By making the fight as contentious as possible, the White House hopes to convince voters that the impeachment process is simply about politics. They also want to push the proceedings into next year, when the first ballots of the 2020 primaries are cast. That would make it easier for Republicans to demand that impeachment be put aside in favour of letting the vot-

ers decide in November.

Aware of the risks, Democrats are planning to move quickly. Multiple subpoenas sent by the House panels came with a deadline to respond within the next two weeks.

Fiona Hill, a former White House adviser who focused on Russia, is expected to meet with three House committees behind closed doors Monday, according to an official working on the impeachment inquiry who requested anonymity to discuss the confidential meeting.

As the House returns from a recess next Tuesday, the Democrats plan to hold hearings and votes to make their case, including legislation designed to improve the security of elections and prevent foreign interference. But they are so far declining to hold high profile hearings featuring fierce, argumentative allies of the president, including Giuliani, who was involved in the negotiations with Ukraine.

Democrats believe the president’s own words are paramount to impeachment and don’t want to distract from that.

But they will also continue to investigate.

Pauley Perrette took time to reflect on her “difficult years” following her departure from “NCIS” and thanked fans for supporting her as her new CBS show “Broke” gets closer to the premiere date.

“I want to thank all y’all that supported me through a few devastatingly difficult years,” the star said on social media. “I’m so happy and healthy now and having a blast.” Perrette explained that she is “SO FREAKIN HAPPY” while shooting her new show and ended her tweet with a loving message. “THANK YOU positive people for helping me and being kind Love y’all!” Pauley wrote.

Playing Dolly Dolly Parton is spilling the beans on who she would like to see portray her, should a biopic about her fascinating life and stellar career ever get made. The country music legend was interviewed and she opened up about the possible project and which big-name actresses could potentially fill her cowboy boots. “That depends on when I get it done,” she said, later stating that both Scarlett Johansson and Reese Witherspoon have crossed her mind when it comes to bringing her story to the big screen. The 73-year-old hitmaker also reflected on how the #MeToo movement has changed things for women, though many issues still remain.

Shots fired outside German synagogue AP Shots were fired outside a synagogue and into a kebab shop in an eastern German city on Wednesday, Judaism’s holiest day, witnesses said.

Germany’s top security official described the shooting in the city of Halle as an anti-Semitic attack and saying that prosecutors believe there may be a far-right motive.

A 35-minute video was posted to live-streaming video platform, Twitch, after the gun attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, in which explosives were left near the synagogue and a grenade

thrown into a Jewish cemetery in Halle, Germany.

The news magazine Der Spiegel, without citing sources, reported that the suspected assailant is a 27-year-old man from the state of Saxony-Anhalt, where Halle is located. It said investigators also have a video that the assailant apparently filmed with a camera on his helmet.

The attacker tried to force his way into the synagogue in the city of Halle but did not get in as 70 to 80 people inside were observing Yom Kippur, a local Jewish leader said.

Police said in a tweet that the suspects fled in a car, and soon

after reported that one person had been arrested.

Officers were out in force across Halle, a city of 240,000.

They initially urged residents to stay at home, and the city’s train station was closed. Several hours later, police said that there was no longer an “acute” danger to the population and residents could go back into the streets.

Federal prosecutors, who in Germany handle cases involving suspected terrorism or national security, took over the investigation.

A video clip broadcast by regional public broadcaster MDR showed a man in a hel-

met and an olive-coloured top getting out of a car and firing four shots from behind the vehicle from a long-barrelled gun. It wasn’t clear what he was shooting at.

Pictures from the scene showed a body lying in the street behind a police cordon.

The body was lying opposite a synagogue, about 30 meters (yards) away from the building, dpa reported.

The head of Halle’s Jewish community, Max Privorozki, told German news magazine Der Spiegel that a camera at the entrance of the synagogue showed a person trying to break into the building.

LOTR call out Talent agencies are calling on Kiwis with specific looks to apply to be part of Amazon’s Lord of the Rings TV series. It was confirmed in September that would begin early next year. Auckland Tourism, Kumeu Film Studios announced that they were looking for people to apply to be in the show. “We are looking for a mix of people of all ages, genders/other from multi-racial backgrounds with interesting character faces and physicality’s [sic],” Talento said on Facebook. This included people with; earthy, weathered, dark skin, missing teeth, wonderful noses, bearded hairy biker men and women, people with lean, tall androgynous looks, and people with beautiful, fair, fine bones faces.

a real estate agent

By NZME

Your home may be your biggest asset, so when thinking about selling it makes sense that you would want to choose an approach that would get the best result for you.

Understanding what a real estate agent has to do to get a licence and what working with an agent means may help you make this decision.

In New Zealand it’s illegal to carry out real estate agency work without a licence. Licensed real estate agents must comply with the rules of the Real Estate Agents Act 2008. There are exceptions for lawyers, conveyancers and licensed auctioneers.

“To be a real estate agent, you must complete qualifications, be assessed as fit and proper to hold a licence and complete annual professional development requirements set by the Real Estate Authority,” says Real Estate Authority chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith.

There are three types of real estate licence: a salesperson, branch manager and agent. An agent’s licence allows an individual to carry out real estate agency work on their own or in a partnership.

This level of licence is also required in order to be the lead agent, often referred to as the licence holder, for an agency. Salespeople and branch managers must work for, or on behalf, of someone that holds an agent’s licence. Salespeople are also required to be supervised by an agent or branch manager. Each level of licence allows an individual to auction a property without holding an auctioneer’s licence.

“When choosing a real estate agent, it can be useful to get recommendations from friends, family and work colleagues. You can also search for online reviews and testimonials,” Lampen-Smith says.

“The Real Estate Authority (REA) has a public register where you can look up an agent, check that they hold a current licence and find out if they have had any complaints upheld against them.

You should never use an unlicensed

person to sell your home as they will be breaking the law and you will have no recourse if things go wrong.”

“When you decide to work with a particular agent or agency, you will be asked to sign an agency agreement.

This is a legal document that sets out what the sale process will be and how much commission the agency will receive if the property sells. It also covers matters such as the agreement’s timeframe, how the property will be marketed and what the costs of that will be.”

“You can list your property with one agency under a sole agency agreement, or two or more under a general agency agreement. As the name suggests, a sole agency agreement gives one agent

or agency the exclusive right to market and arrange the sale of your property.

If you sign a sole agency agreement, you should not sign an agreement with any other agent or agency, or you may have to pay all the agencies a commission regardless of which one arranged the sale. Whatever you decide, it’s important to remember that many of the conditions in agency agreements are negotiable. It is always advisable to get legal advice to help you understand what the terms of an agreement mean and to ensure you get what you want before you sign it.”

“Before you sign an agency agreement, the agent must give you a written appraisal. This is their estimate

of the property’s sale price, which must realistically reflect current market conditions and refer to comparable sales data. The agent should also explain the different options for selling your property, whether by tender, auction or at an advertised price. They must explain how your property will be marketed and make it clear what advertising they provide as part of their service and what you will need to pay extra for.”

“Agents are most commonly paid commission. Some firms offer fixed fees, but other commission arrangements are negotiable. Before you sign an agency agreement, the agent must explain to you how the commission will be calculated, the conditions under which it must be paid, when it must be paid and the estimated total amount you will pay based on the estimated sale price of your property.

The commission is usually made up of a set amount, plus a percentage of the selling price and GST. An administration fee is also usually included. You can often negotiate commission fees with the agent, but make sure any changes are reflected in the agency agreement before you sign it.”

“To help protect New Zealand’s reputation and economy from money laundering activity and financing terrorism activity, real estate agents must take you through a vetting process that will include confirming your identity, including your date of birth, and your address details before you sign an agency agreement with them.”

“Agents are bound by a code of conduct under The Real Estate Agents Act 2008. They are not allowed to put any undue or unfair pressure on a seller, and they must keep you updated about anything relevant to the sale of your property. If they, or someone they know, are interested in buying your property, this conflict of interest must be declared. If this happens, ask another agent to represent you. It’s important that you have someone independent working to sell your property, especially when you’re paying them to do it,” Lampen-Smith says.

First-time renovators are everywhere.

For some it will be once and never again.

For others it will be the start of a profitable and satisfying journey up the property ladder.

While renovations can bring you profit and/or the perfect home, they can also bring tears.

Mark Trafford, a project manager who runs renovation company Maintain to Profit, says all too often renovators run out of cash mid renovation and are left sitting on half-finished homes. Sometimes for years.

Trafford fields calls every week from people whose renovation has turned pear-shaped.

If you do want to renovate a home, make sure that you’re not biting off more than you can chew.

It can be cheaper in Auckland to demolish and rebuild if the home is totally dilapidated, Trafford says.

In heritage areas that’s not always possible and a large, but ramshackle character home could cost up to $500,000 to bring up to the standard expected in a suburb such as Parnell.

Most people who have never renovated can seriously underestimate the cost, says Trafford.

Many may have grander visions than what they can afford. That can come from watching too many TV programmes such as The Block, Ugly House to Lovely House, or The £1 Houses.

Trafford comes across people who assume a home extension to add living space and bedrooms will cost something like $50,000, whereas the reality can be more like $150,000 to $200,000.

Potential renovators can start with a renovations calculator or spreadsheet to get a rough ball-park figure of what it will cost.

much out.

These calculations can give you an indication if the work is even feasible.

Kiwis often do their renovations in a couple of stages thanks to the cost, so you might want to split the work into stage one and stage two.

You will need a full breakdown of the costs, including building, plumbing, electrical, painting and other trades such as drain–laying and roofing if necessary.

Owners can do a lot of the grunt work themselves, Trafford says. When it comes to the trades, however, you must by law use a licenced builder, drain–layer, plumber or other tradesperson.

The Building Act allows homeowners to do simple work themselves such as replacing doors or building fences, but nothing structural.

Some owners try to wing it. But doing work without building or resource consent or DIY where the law requires you use a licensed practitioner really can come back to bite.

It’s not uncommon when you come to sell for the buyer’s solicitor to find out that the work has been done without proper consents.

Inevitably you’ll need a mortgage broker early in the process, Trafford

says. “If it’s a sizeable project most people borrow money,” he says.

The sum of money the bank is willing to lend is another indication as to whether the project is affordable.

“With that you can budget and scale the renovation accordingly.”

If you’re not sure where to start go to a builder or renovation company, says Trafford.

They can tell you whether or not the renovations you plan needs an architect and council consent.

Both add time and money to the project.

“Just to get concept plans for an architect can be at least three months at the moment,” Trafford says.

Be wary of issues such as asbestos, Trafford says. If there is asbestos on site it’s not just a matter of ripping it out.

You’ll need to do an asbestos assessment.

“Tradies won’t work on the site without that.”

Having no experience when it comes to renovations is a bit of a Catch 22.

The best way to get the knowledge and experience needed is to jump in boots and all.

Do make sure, however, that you’ve

*At the time of printing done your numbers first, Trafford says.

At least that way you will have a good indication of the time and money needed.

Also ensure that you can get the tradespeople needed. Getting the project off the ground without them may be impossible.

“The biggest challenge at the moment is getting tradies. All the new builds are sucking tradies out of the renovation sector,” Trafford says.

Problems lining up tradespeople as the renovation progresses can also be an issue.

“If the plumber turns up and the other trades aren’t ready you may not be able to get the plumber back for weeks.”

This beauty is still a real beast N issan have a long history of building strong, dependable pickups.

With each new model the boundaries of innovation have been pushed, providing you with everything you need to get the job done.

And now it’s time to experience the next generation Navara.

It combines a tough, working pedigree, with premium ride comfort, smart technologies, and sleek, modern styling.

All of which means you can step from a day on the job to a night on the town without missing a beat.

The Around-View® Monitor uses four cameras to give you a virtual composite 360° birds-eye view of your vehicle, with selectable split-screen close ups of the front, rear, and kerbside views, so you can get a better look.

The sign of a truly modern pickup?

One that shows how power, acceleration and fuel efficiency cannot just co-exist, but thrive.

The Nissan Navara offers three engines that do just that, thanks to advanced technology that helps squeeze the most performance out of every drop of fuel.

The ST and ST-X variants are powered by an advanced 140kW twin-turbo diesel engine.

With a small turbo to get you moving

and a larger one to keep you going strong, the diesel engine gives you best in class fuel economy.

Load up your family or grab a few friends and experience the smooth and comfortable ride of the Nissan Navara.

With 5-link rear suspension it is as capable and comfortable off-road as it is on road.

In the front, the fatigue-reducing all day comfort seats create a neutral posture that improves blood flow to make long rides considerably more pleasant.

In the back, passengers will enjoy plenty of legroom plus their own air conditioning.

And if you’d rather opt for a little fresh air, there’s the press button sunroof and a

rear power sliding window.

Whether you’re looking to pull a heavy load at work, or for a weekend away, the Nissan Navara makes it easy.

All of our diesel engine models can muster up the grunt to pull a massive 3500kg braked towing capacity.

Tackling hilly terrain?

Now you can do it with more confidence and control.

On an incline, Hill Start Assist can help keep you from rolling backwards when you’re accelerating up a hill from a stop.

And Hill Descent Control helps you maintain steady speed and braking, so you get down a steep grade more safely.

The Nissan Navara also has a host of safety features standard across the range.

Seven airbags including driver knee airbag, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) Navara ST-X 450 Double Cab Introducing the special edition Navara ST-X 450 Double Cab. Darkened in all black with orange accents, it comes with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, 18 inch alloy wheels, tough black fender flares, stylish blackened headlamps and of course Nissan Intelligent Mobility. It’s powerful made clever.

VW now R-rated

T

he performance brand Volkswagen R represents the sportiest models in the Volkswagen portfolio.

Since 2002, the R models have been right at home on racetracks throughout the world.

In addition to high-performance engines, Volkswagen have offered their owners the combination of

everyday usability combined with stylish understatement.

Along with the Golf R in four generations, the portfolio includes the Passat R36, the Touareg R50, the Scirocco R and the Golf R Convertible.

Aside from the Golf R1 and the Golf R Variant2, the new T-Roc R3 is also currently available.

Indians ‘near-perfect’ Bernard Egan MOTORING

T

wo weeks ago our motoring pages were part of the very special 140th Anniversary issue of this newspaper.

There are so many facets to a newspaper, including news, readers and of course advertisers; each needs the other.

Newspapers and advertisers go together like a hand in a glove.

Over the years advertisements have evolved because goods, services and products have changed, as has the terminology used to promote them.

With the history of this paper in mind it was fascinating to read an historical snippet in the just-arrived latest edition of Beaded Wheels.

In his always interesting Timelines column Graeme Rice referred to the Indian Motorcycle Company’s statement made one hundred years ago. in November 1919.

The Indian Company bosses claimed that after 21 years their products were built nearer to perfection than any other motorcycle.

They advertised Indians as the product of the largest motorcycle factory in the world.

And they proudly went on to announce where other makes have three or four strong features, the Indian had one hundred of them and there wasn’t one weakness in their construction.

Slightly different terminology than we might see today.

Indian motorcycles have not been around for as long as this newspaper, but the timing of the advertisement coincides with Robert Bell becoming the owner of the Guardian.

About that time American George M. Hendee founded a bicycle production company called the Hendee Manufacturing Company.

The bicycles carried brand names such as Silver King, Silver Queen, and American Indian, which was shortened to simply Indian and became Hendee’s primary brand name.

The company was renamed for the

V

ernon George – Vern – Ellis who passed away recently will be missed by many people including the Ashburton Guardian Motoring Team.

Vern who had a lifelong interest in machinery and cars enjoyed vintage motoring and restored several vehicles often doing much of the work himself.

He joined the Ashburton Branch of the Vintage Car Club in 1990.

Vern was a committee member for two years and between 2002 and 2008 served 4 terms as Chairman of the Branch and was always willing to provide advice and assistance to other members.

His collection of veteran, vintage and post vintage vehicles ranged from a 1911 Renault through to a 1983 Cortina with American classics in between.

Vern and Phyl enjoyed taking parts in club runs and rallies.

Some years ago Vern made us an offer we

colloquial name of Native Americans, which Christopher Columbus mistakenly called Indians.

Although it’s had a few bumps and a few rough rides along the way, the company is still producing motorbikes and keenly points out that just as the Indians were North America’s first residents, the Indian Motorcycle Company predates Harley-Davidson in manufacturing of motorcycles in America.

In the same Beaded Wheels column Graeme Rice records that Oldsmobile also got the key of the door in 1919 and like Indian turned 21 years old.

And they were no less boastful, claiming their Model 37 was a gasoline saver and more economical to own, maintain and operate than any other vehicle.

They are features which advertisers continue to recognise as being important to consumers.

Oldsmobile was a brand of American automobiles produced for most of its existence by General Motors.

It derived its name from its founder Ransom E. Olds.

The name was not as suggested by some wits an abbreviation of Old Ladies Driving Slow Makes Others Behind Infuriatingly Late Everyday.

Indian and Oldsmobile would have relied heavily on newspaper advertising so no doubt their products would at some time or other been promoted in our paper.

couldn’t refuse. Mind you it was an offer we wouldn’t want to refuse.

Vern asked if a member of the Guardian Motoring Team would like to take his fully restored, pristine De Soto on the Vintage Car Club Annual Rally and in return publish the experience as a way of letting people know about the fun of vintage motoring and the activities of the club.

This writer, along with Marlene, Kate Robins and her late husband Mark accepted the offer and we had a delightful day’s motoring in a very special car.

The idea was typical of both Vern’s innovative thinking and the generosity for which he was renowned.

We always appreciated Vern’s ongoing interest in and support of our motoring pages, we will miss him.

The Ashburton Guardian Motoring Team offer our sympathy to Phyl, Brian and Megan, Sue and Brent and their families.

A

s perhaps the most anticipated model to join the Yamaha stable in a generation, there is a lot riding on the release of the Yamaha Tenere 700.

Developed around the 689cc parallel-twin engine found in the MT-07HO – which produces 54kW at 9000rpm and 69Nm produced at 6500rpm – the Tenere is the first adventure bike from a Japanese manufacturer to debut in the middleweight adventure category.

It will be priced from $16,999 and is due in December.

It will enter the market against stiff competition from Europe; Triumph’s Tiger 800 and KTM’s 790 Adventure are squarely in Yamaha’s sights.

“I think what we’ve done is present a bike to market to allow consumers a solid choice against the European contenders,” says Yamaha Motor New Zealand’s general manager, Alan Petrie.

As part of a Trans-Tasman Tenere Tour, Yamaha Motor NZ secured three pre-production Tenere 700s to tour the country, stopping off in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

“We’ve basically sold out our first shipment of the Tenere 700 already. I believe there is only a handful of bikes left in that shipment so the bike has been received very well,” says Petrie.

The Teneres were in the main colours of blue/silver, black and white/red and were kitted out with different accessories from the Yamaha catalogue to help riders get a feel for the full potential of the machine.

Petrie says: “We believe this bike will bring a lot of new customers to the sport of adventure riding as the value is extremely good, they’re well specced and they’ve been designed to deliver.”

In Australia, the annual Tenere Tragics adventure ride is a regularly sold-out affair and the event could soon be in New Zealand. “We absolutely want Tenere Tragics to happen here,” says Petrie.

Ford has revealed that it will have more power than the 345kW Mustang Bullitt

ord has kept the Mustang line-up nicely updated over the years through the introduction of various RTR and Roush-tuned models alongside the special ‘Bullit’ models that made it down under.

For their latest project, one that is exclusive to Australia, Ford has teamed up with Herrod Performance to create a Mustang that can rival some of the most serious muscle coming out of America.

This joint project has been dubbed the Ford Mustang R-Spec, and only 500 units are going to be built, exclusively for the Australian market.

Joining the already capable Mustang line-up, including the EcoBoost and the V8-powered GT, is the R-Spec with its bonkers supercharged V8.

Official power figures haven’t been released just yet, but Ford has revealed that it will have more power than the 345kW Mustang Bullitt.

It has been rumoured that the R-Spec will pack a whopping 520kW, or a nice and round 700hp, and up to 827Nm of torque.

This will make the R-Spec the most powerful Mustang that Ford has sold in Australia.

All this power will be sent exclusively through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels which are wrapped in a set of sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.

This R-Spec will sit around

20mm lower than the standard GT thanks to a set of shorter springs paired with the standard MagneRide suspension system. Thicker stabiliser bars sit at the front and rear of the car to improve cornering.

Herrod Performance has added their unique exhaust system to the vehicle, which features Quiet, Normal, Sport, and Track modes.

On the inside, this special edition Mustang contains all the standard interior components including the iconic tri-spoke steering wheel.

AEB, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and self-levelling headlights all come standard.

“We have been working hard with Herrod Performance to deliver a supercharged Mustang to Australian customers”, said Ford Australia and New Zealand CEO and President, Kay Hart.

“Now, working with Herrod Performance, we’ve been able to bring this special edition Mustang to Australian customers through our extensive dealership network, and with the peace-of-mind of fiveyear, unlimited kilometre warranties backed by Ford and Herrod.”

It sounds like Ford is set on keeping the Mustang R-Spec exclusive to Australia, but Ford New Zealand have been contacted for comment, and we’ll update this article when we hear back.

old and red may have previously reserved for the Chinese flag, but it looks like Aston Martin has taken ownership of the colour scheme with its latest release.

This release comes in the form of the highly-anticipated 2020 DBS GT Zagato that is exclusively available in the DBZ Centenary Collection, which includes the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation.

Both of the vehicles were unveiled at the Newport Concours in Rhode Island last weekend, where Aston Martin revealed that they are only planning on

Friday, October 11, 2019

building 19 sets of the cars, and if you want to buy one, you have to buy both.

If you do plan on forking out the $11 million for this collection, you will be rewarded with a stonking new English coupe alongside a re-imagined classic.

Under the hood of the DBS GT Zagato sits a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 that cranks out a whopping 567kW of power.

Interestingly, this Zagato is only available in Supernova red, which is complemented by the black accents on the exterior, and gold accents inside.

Highlights on the

exterior of this Zagato include the double-bubble roof (which you can’t see out of), the intriguing taillights, the massive black and gold 21-inch wheels, and the 18-carat solid gold Aston Martin badges.

On the inside, the interlocking gold 3D-printed pieces took upwards of 100 hours to produce, and contrast the rest of the cabin spectacularly.

Accounting for the other half of the DBZ Centenary Collection is the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation, which is a track-going recreation of the legendary car that comes with a few updates.

Unfortunately, if you were dusting off the old check book, and getting ready to fork out the necessary $11 million for the pair, we’ve got some bad news.

All 19 sets have been accounted for.

View from the Mount John observatory Member of the Ashburton Photographic Society, Maria Chamberlain called into the Mount John Observatory late one afternoon last year while on a weekend trip to Twizel and this was the view that greeted her. Sticking to one of the golden rules of landscape photography, early morning or later in the day, paid off and Maria earned an acceptance from the Judge in the landscape competition.

OUR VIEW

A day that can shape a district A

t the end of the day, tomorrow is just another day.

Families will be looking to mark the end of the school holidays by spending time doing something relaxing, sporting teams will take to the fields as they do each and every week and people will flock to various events being held around the district in what is a very busy looking weekend.

But, behind it all, there’s a bigger thing happening. Not something that is physically evident, but something which will have, ultimately, an impact on all of us going into the future.

In an office, tucked away from the world, people will be counting.

Counting bits of paper with

ticks, or marks, on them and ultimately coming to an outcome which will shape this district of ours for the next three years.

Counting election votes.

Every three years we get our chance to have a say on who governs this district. It’s our opportunity as the people of this region who make the place tick to have our voices heard before and enforce change, decision making and give power and responsibility

to a group of people who have declared their passion for making the Ashburton District a better place.

All eyes, of course, will be on the outcome of the mayoral race.

It is, after all, the top job in the district and having a good, solid and strong leader to pave the way is critically important to our success.

We’ve got four strong contenders. Four passionate and enthusiastic people who are willing to put their hand up and say they’re ready to accept the challenge.

It’s a good place for us to be in.

But it can also be easy to be swept away in the biggest race of them all but it would be remiss not to acknowledge the impact of what other results will be an-

nounced today too.

Our soon to be elected crop of councillors are equally as vital and critical to the success of this district. They are charged with bringing pragmatic and lateral thinking to the table and making decisions that are based on well-researched and informed opinion.

Likewise those will be elected onto ECan. At this current point of time, there is arguably no more critical role to be played in this district than those which deal with the matters of water.

There’s also the Ashburton Licensing Trust, an organisation which has helped and ensured the continued services of so many in this area and the Canterbury District Health Board as well.

So while the top job might steal all the headlines, the subsidiaries are just as important.

And no matter what eventuates in the counting house today, those whose names are announced as successful will ultimately be handed some of the greatest responsibility of all.

There’s a strong possibility that what we’ve got by late afternoon and early evening tomorrow could be a completely new-look type of set up for this district. A new vision, a new direction and a new focus.

And just who might they all be when the dust settles?

Who knows?

You’ve had your say and soon we’ll get to hear them have theirs.

conference since taking office, President George W Bush said “it may take a year or two” to track down Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network in Afghanistan, but he asserted that after a fiveday aerial bombardment, “we’ve got them on the run”.

In 2002, former President Jimmy Carter was named the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ten years ago: Thousands of gay rights supporters marched from the White House to the US Capitol. A 22-hour attack on Pakistan’s army headquarters in Rawalpindi ended with nine militants and 14 others dead. A Russian Soyuz capsule carrying Cirque du Soleil founder Guy

Laliberte and two other space travellers landed safely in Kazakhstan.

Five years ago: US Customs and health officials began taking the temperatures of passengers arriving at New York’s Kennedy International Airport from three West African countries in a stepped-up screening effort meant to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus.

One year ago: A rocket carrying an American and a Russian to the International Space Station failed two minutes into the flight, sending the capsule into a steep, harrowing fall back to Earth; the crew landed safely in Kazakhstan.

The Dream Team

U

p and down, in and out.

I’ve been at this for an hour now.

I’m sweating and starting to moan.

Man my butt hurts, is that right?

Am I doing this wrong?

I have to stand up and slow down a bit to get some feeling back in it.

There are people watching me, some are encouraging, some are being a bit harsh with their critique of my technique.

I’m not sure I should be doing it right in front of these huge windows with all these people walking past and looking in either.

Finally I’ve finished. It feels so good! I have a very satisfied grin on my face. I stand up slowly because my legs feel like jelly.

I grab a rag and some spray and start cleaning up the mess I’ve left.

Another 36 kilometres on the spin bike completed.

What did you think I was talking about?

Throughout my radio career I have had several ‘I wish I didn’t say that’ moments and a couple of months ago I had a doosey.

Anna, from the gym, was in the studio chatting about a challenge that the gym bunnies were getting stuck into and she said to me if I ever came up with any challenge ideas to let her know.

We then went on to chat about her brother Braden Currie and how awesome he was doing on

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

the Ironman circuit.

That’s when I came up with, 1 plus 1 equals you are a big mouth idiot.

I stupidly said why don’t the gym members do an Ironman, but instead of eight hours like Braden does, the locals do it over a week.

“Great idea, you’re the first on the list” Anna said.

Then followed my second – engage your brain before talking – moment in a manner of seconds, “Yeah, it should be easy enough.”

The brain quickly caught up with the gob then, “Hang on a sec, how far is it?”

Four kilometre swim, 180km bike and 42 kilometre (marathon) run.

Engage back pedal!!

I can’t do that! I’m a hopeless runner, I hate it. I need to assemble ‘The Dream Team’.

Jenny – from gym, can do the running and Jonesy – the swim coach, can do the swim, I’ll do the bike.

One hundred and eighty kilometres over a week shouldn’t be too bad.

I knew I could bash out 15kms

in half an hour easy enough, so I figured the 36kms I needed each day for the five days should equate to a touch over an hour a day.

The dream team quickly turned into a nightmare for me, right about the 35km mark on day one of the bike.

How the hell am I gonna do this another four days in a row, I thought.

After four days I would love to tell you that I’m doing it easy, but that would be a lie.

The timing of my brush with death (man flu) last week wasn’t ideal either.

But at least I’ve had words of encouragement from my team mates to spur me on. “Get on the bl*@dy bike and stop being a big women’s blouse,” from Jenny and from Jonesy, “Just think how good that beer will taste on Friday night mate”.

I’m just looking forward to getting some feeling back in my butt cheeks.

Till next week, hoo roo

■■CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change awareness a must

By Gavin Evans NZME

Company directors are not as aware of climate change challenges as they should be and risk leaving their firms insufficient time to respond, says Karen Silk, deputy chair of the Sustainable Business Council.

While some firms are taking strong positions, many others are reacting to regulation and tending to do the minimum.

Directors have “a wee way to go” in lifting their understanding, she said. Boards need to recognise that the time horizons for making decisions on strategy have shifted, and understand the potential breadth of impacts and opportunities faced by the businesses they are responsible for.

“They set the tone from the top which drives the culture,” Silk told delegates at the Climate Change and Business Conference in Auckland yesterday.

“Given the degree of challenge that we are facing, we actually need to see leaders step up and lead and not manage to that minimum.”

Silk, general manager of commercial, corporate and institutional

banking at Westpac New Zealand, was speaking as co-chair of the Sustainable Finance Forum. The forum was established earlier this year to look at ways to adjust the country’s finance system so that it can better fund projects and new technologies needed to reduce emissions and improve environmental sustainability.

efforts will be required.

The forum aims to provide recommendations to the government by mid-2020 and will be seeking feedback on an interim report it aims to publish by Oct. 31.

But Silk said improved availability of funds for projects will be of little value if firms aren’t acting.

Companies no longer have the luxury of waiting for new technologies to become economic. They need to be acting now.

Silk observed that the country’s first large-scale wind farm was commissioned at a time when the cost of its generation was about twice the prevailing wholesale power price.

“They didn’t do it because it was economic. They did it because they believed that that was the technology of the future and that someone had to stand up and take a chance,” she said.

“We can create all the tools, processes and make the capital available, but until somebody actually wants to use it, this won’t happen.

“It’s a collaboration that’s required. It’s not a one-way, supply-side discussion.”

Mixed week for local sharemarket I t was a mixed week for the local sharemarket this week with Spark Sport making headlines after winning NZ Cricket broadcasting rights.

US-China trade tensions and deteriorating Brexit negotiations also continued to sway markets.

The Government announced a $7.9bn surplus on Tuesday, the biggest in 11 years. The surplus for the year ended June 2019 was up $2bn on the previous year and more than double forecasts.

Debt levels were also the lowest in a decade, falling to 19.2 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).

Finance Minister Grant Robertson described the country’s economy as being in “good shape” and that the local economy is projected to grow faster than the US, UK, Japan, the Eurozone, Canada and the OECD average.

Spark Sport continued to make waves after securing broadcasting rights to New Zealand Cricket (NZC) for the next six years.

As of April 2020, Spark Sport will be the official rights partner for all NZC matches played in New Zealand, while TVNZ will join as the free-to-air partner for a selected number of T20 International and Super Smash matches.

Sky TV shares tumbled to a record low of 90 cents following the announcement, and said it was “proud to have been a partner with NZ Cricket since 1995”.

ANZ Australia will take a big financial hit as it compensates customers for poor financial advice. ANZ said it would put aside $A559m for customer-related remediation costs after an internal review found the bank had been overcharging customers in fees and interest payments, as well as charg-

ing clients for no service. ANZ said it had recognised the impact it had on both customers and shareholders, and said it is progressing to fix the issues with a team of specialists to refund its customers as soon as possible.

Shares in Fonterra continued to bounce off record lows.

The dairy co-op had its fifth consecutive day in the green on Tuesday, after outlining a refreshed strategy and changes to its operating model and management team in the previous week.

The dairy co-operative announced on Tuesday that Fraser Whineray will be joining the company as chief operating officer in 2020. Whineray is currently Chief Executive of Mercury Energy and has been with the gentailer for the last 11 years.

The Brexit talks are on the brink of collapse.

Expectations that the UK will agree a deal with the European Union (EU) at this week’s summit are fading fast after German chancellor Angela Merkel said it was “overwhelmingly unlikely” any deal could be reached based on proposals UK Prime Minister Borris Johnson sent to the EU. Merkel reportedly told Johnson that the only way the UK could leave the EU was for Northern Ireland to stay permanently in the single market.

Adding to the chaos, Johnson is

facing a rebellion from his cabinet over a no-deal Brexit, with a group of cabinet ministers poised to resign.

An unnamed cabinet minister said that a “very large number” of Conservative MP’s would quit if it came to a no-deal Brexit.

Australian consumer sentiment dropped to a four-year low in October. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute Index of Consumer Sentiment fell 5.5 per cent to 92.8 in October, from 98.2 in September.

Westpac Chief Economist Bill Evans said the result is the lowest level for the index since July 2015.

The index has fallen 8.4 per cent since the Reserve Bank of Australia started cutting rates in June and is down by 8.6 per cent over the last year.

Hong Kong’s continued violent protests are putting the economy on the brink of a recession.

The effects of the US-China trade war, in combination with a crackdown on pro-democracy protests have driven tourists and shoppers away, decreasing demand for the region’s companies and pushing investors to do business elsewhere.

Key economic indicators have slipped in the past few months, including Hong Kong retail sales by value falling 23 per cent in September from the previous year.

Looking ahead, third quarter earnings season kicks off this week with the big banks dominating the initial line-up. Results from Netflix and Johnson & Johnson will also be of interest.

■■NYMPHE MONTE

■■TRUE ENOUGH

Double on the cards

Mistake turns out fortunate

Wairarapa trainer Grant Nicholson believes defending champ Nymph Monte is going just as well as he was when he won last year’s South Taranaki Club Egmont Cup (2100m) at Hawera.

The Tavistock eight-year-old gelding is shooting for successive wins in the Egmont Racing Club feature as he continues his buildup to next month’s Gr.3 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup (3200m) at Riccarton.

“Going into last year’s race we were very confident he would run well and he’s in the same condition as he was last year,” Nicholson said.

Nicholson has followed a similar blueprint to last year’s Egmont Cup win, again producing Nymph Monte for tomorrow’s race at his fourth start for the preparation.

The winner of 10 of his 56 starts finished fourth in the Gr.3 Metric Mile (1600m) at Awapuni second-up and finished strongly for third at Hastings last month behind subsequent Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) runner-up Peso over 2000m.

“He’s improved again on what he showed at Hastings,” Nicholson said.

“He’s very, very well going into Saturday. I couldn’t be any happier with him.

He likes the track – he’s unbeaten at the course and he won the race last year, so we’re going back to where he’s gone well before and hopefully he can do it again for us.”

Safely through the Egmont Cup, Nymph Monte is likely to tackle the Listed Ricoh Feilding

Nymphe Monte has improved on his Hastings run, and will be hard to beat tomorrow.

Gold Cup (2200m) at Awapuni on November 2 before heading to Riccarton, where he won the Listed Spring Classic (2000m) and Metropolitan Trophy (2500m) then finished fifth in the New Zealand Cup back in 2016.

“He’s grown up a little bit since then, especially mentally as he’s got older,” Nicholson said.

“He’s always had joint issues

that we’ve had to deal with right the way through, even as far back as when he was three.

“They aren’t there at the moment so he couldn’t be in any better order.”

TAB bookmakers opened Nymph Monte as a $3.80 favourite for the Egmont Cup ahead of last year’s Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) runner-up In A Twin-

kling, who was fourth in the same leadup race at Hastings, at $5.50, with Hi I’m Nikkita a $6 third favourite.

Leah Hemi takes the ride from barrier three, a draw Nicholson wants to take advantage of.

“We’ll try and put him in the race one off the fence and hopefully he can do the job again.

“On form, he’ll be hard to beat.”

■■THEFIXER

Todd observing cup preparation Woodend Beach trainer Regan Todd is in the curious position of being able to focus on the rest of his team despite the reigning New Zealand Cup winner joining his stable.

Todd is effectively playing host for Thefixer as Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen attempt to revive the pacer’s spring campaign.

The trainers have turned to beach training as the defending New Zealand Cup champion battles hoof problems in the lead up to his title defence.

The All Stars team have been working and caring for Thefixer while he has been stationed at Todd’s stable.

That means apart from some routine feeding, Todd is in the unusual position of being able to watch on as the star pacer is prepared for the second Tuesday in November.

“It is a bit of a thrill having him there,” Todd said.

“They’ve done absolutely everything with him, we are just

Thefixer with Natalie Rasmussen. lucky enough to have him staying.”

“It will be great if he can go good on Sunday and head towards the cup.”

The first race day step towards the New Zealand Cup comes on Sunday, when Thefixer lines up

for his first start of the season in the Methven Cup. Todd has runners of his own at the Methven meeting, as well as starters at Gore on Saturday.

At Methven, the young trainer holds one of the biggest keys to the second major race of the

day, the Fillies and Mares’ trot in recent stable acquisition, Renezmae.

After battling for form, the former Breeders Crown winner has been in grand for from her new quarters winning in stylish fashion fresh up at Ashburton before a brave third at Addington a week later.

Kept quiet since that last run, she will face a big field of trotting fillies and mares on Sunday.

Todd also has promising pacer, Swamp Major engaged at the meeting in the intermediate grade pace.

The big pacer looked strong in a recent trial behind some of the Cup contenders and should be in for a good season.

His other runner at Methven is the in-form That Alexander Guy who will operate from a handy draw in the junior drivers’ event.

At Gore tomorrow, Todd lines up maiden pacer Hold Thumbs who will be out to do a little more than the debut effort last week.

Recent Red Badge Spring Sprint (1400m) winner True Enough is what you would call a fortunate mistake.

Co-owner and breeder Mick Preston had Valda’s Dream booked to visit Fairdale Stud’s Full Fledged in 2012, but an oversight resulted in her being covered by Nom du Jeu instead who she had missed to previously.

“She was supposed to go to Fully Fledged but Duncan Fell made a blue and put her to Nom du Jeu,” Preston said.

“To be honest I tried to think of a name like ‘Dunc’s Mistake’ or something.”

There are obviously no hard feelings as True Enough has gone on to win seven of his 15 starts and place in another six including a third behind Volpe Veloce in the Gr.2 Japan-NZ International Trophy (1600m).

True Enough could be in for his biggest season yet, with the sixyear-old gelding holding a nomination for next month’s Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile at Riccarton.

Preston has had a long association with the family of True Enough, purchasing his granddam Kerry’s Dream (NZ) (Sir Sydney) in the late 1980s.

“Kerry’s Dream was bred by a very old friend of mine Kerry O’Brien,” Preston said.

“Kerry passed away and I bought her from his estate from the Waikato Sales when she was either a yearling or a two-year-old.”

Kerry’s Dream went on to win three races, earning her spot in Preston’s broodmare band. Valda’s Dream, named after Preston’s wife, was her fourth and final foal and was a winner over 1200m.

True Enough is the fourth foal out of Valda’s Dream, she has produced two other winners including Victory Drive who has just returned to pre-training.

“When I retired and sold my farm about 12 years ago I kept Valda’s Dream for a while and then it was getting too dear to be paying for grazing so I gave her to Mr Keenan in Wanganui.

“He had a young horse that he was trying to get off the ground as a stallion (Dial A Prayer) so I thought he could have a go with her and I knew he would give her a good home.

“Since then I bought one by Dial A Prayer out of Valda’s Dream.”

It is a feat in itself that True Enough made it to the races, let alone perform as he does due to poor health as a youngster.

Preston recalls how a serious case of travel sickness nearly cost the then two-year-old his life.

“We nearly lost him. He was in a very bad way for quite some time but Alison Henry and the Cambridge Vets nursed him back to health.”

Once recovered and through his early education with John Malcom, True Enough was sent to the stable of Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman.

■■RUGBY

Typhoon blows away rugby

By Patrick McKendry The one big World Cup danger for the All Blacks as they get to grips with the cancelled Italy game is how they get Brodie Retallick back up to speed following his return from a dislocated shoulder because his next match will be a quarter-final.

It is a trap they fell into at the end of last year after the man generally agreed to be the best lock in the world couldn’t back up his superb performance against England at Twickenham the next week against Ireland in Dublin.

His full range of abilities were on display in a very tight test in south west London after he made a return off the bench against Japan in Tokyo in his previous match but it turned out he was under-done conditioning wise and he couldn’t find the same levels at Aviva Stadium as the All Blacks lost to the Irish for the second time in two years.

Retallick would have been pencilled in for 60 minutes or so against Italy in Toyota Stadium on Saturday and now the All Blacks have to find another way to replicate that intensity, but, in an interview with the Herald, coach Steve Hansen said it was under control.

The England v France game in Fukuoka is the other game to be scrapped as the authorities prepare for the arrival of Typhoon Hagibis, with the Japan v Scotland game in Yokohama on Sunday at risk but going ahead at the moment.

A cancellation of the highly-an-

Brodie Retallick is massively important in the All Blacks’ World Cup plans. ticipated game between the hosts and Scots would be hugely significant as it would result in Scotland missing out on a chance to qualify for a quarter-final.

Hansen described it as a “disaster”.

As for Retallick, Hansen said:

“It’s not really an issue because you just modify his training to compensate for that.”

He wouldn’t elaborate on what the modifications would look like but they are likely to involve a physical battering for the 28-yearold who has played 78 tests.

Hansen ruled out bringing in another team for an opposed training session, saying he would use all 31 players to presumably provide something similar.

“I’m not going to say what we’ll do,” he said.

“But we modified training today

and then we’ll modify it tomorrow because tomorrow was down to be a captain’s run “You certainly don’t do too much at a captain’s run and so we’ll have to do more.

“Saturday obviously we won’t be able to train and then Sunday we’ll look at what we can do.

“During this period we just have to adapt and adjust and be as positive and smart as we can be.”

Midfielder Jack Goodhue is the other All Black in need of game time following his return from a hamstring problem.

Goodhue played the first half against Canada and 60 minutes against Namibia.

He would have been expected to get through 80 against Italy but given his relative youth – he’s 24 – and place in the backline rather than pack, a huge amount of contact work probably wasn’t such a priority for him.

For Hansen, the key is to quickly adapt and retain the positive attitude that has taken the All Blacks to their last two World Cup triumphs.

He said all contingencies had been planned for, including a cancelled game.

“It’s not that big an issue for us because we’ve already qualified,” he said.

“It’s a potential disaster for Scotland because if they miss out on playing then it’s a big one.

“But life’s not fair and so why would sport be fair?

“Sometimes it tests your resolve and you just have to take it on the chin and accept it even though you don’t like it.”

Barrett happy with decision to switch allegiance In a year full of seemingly constant change, Beauden Barrett remains the picture of calm.

Between Barrett’s decision to switch from the Hurricanes to the Blues for next year’s Super Rugby season, to his move from first five-eighth to fullback for the All Blacks, this Rugby World Cup year

could easily have been the most unsettling of his illustrious career.

Instead one of the most sought-after talents in world rugby takes it all in his stride with a side of perspective, as he does almost everything on the footy field.

That includes the vastly varied opinions he’s received since con-

firming his imminent move, arguably the most significant transfer in New Zealand Super Rugby history, from Wellington to Auckland.

Long-serving Hurricanes, the likes of All Blacks hooker Dane Coles and halfback TJ Perenara were among those most taken aback by Barrett’s switch in alle-

giance after eight years with the franchise.

But as he said in Tokyo, it hasn’t all been bad, with fellow All Blacks Rieko Ioane, Patrick Tuipulotu and Ofa Tuungafasi enthused about welcoming his presence.

“There was mixed feedback,” he said. “You’ve got Colesy and TJ

who are staunch Hurricanes that probably will still struggle to accept it or see me in a blue jersey, but it is what it is.

“You’ve got people like Rieks and Paddy on the other hand who are over the moon. It happens with all sorts of other sports or professions in any walk of life.”

■■CRICKET

Spark grabs cricket broadcasting rights Spark Sport says it has won the broadcast rights to NZ Cricket fixtures from April 2020 with TVNZ as its free-to-air partner.

The six-year deal allows it to exclusively broadcast all matches played by the Black Caps and White Ferns in New Zealand.

The matches will be played on its Spark Sport platform, while TVNZ will air some of the T-20 and Super Smash matches on its free-to-air-channels.

The price for the rights was not disclosed, but Spark chief executive Jolie Hodson said the deal strengthened its position in the sport streaming market.

“Cricket is an iconic sport that has continued to innovate,” she said.

“So we’re excited to announce this new partnership with New Zealand Cricket, one that cements our place as a significant player in New Zealand’s sports viewing landscape.

“This partnership with New Zealand Cricket is another major step towards Spark’s strategy of building a profitable sports media business.”

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said the deal was ground-breaking because it would cater for future demand.

Spark CEO Jolie Hodson “This is a deal which future-proofs the whole of cricket in New Zealand,” Mr White said.

“Live streaming is the future.

“It is timely that we make this move now, at a time when more New Zealanders than ever – and especially young Kiwis, consume their sports content through digital devices.”

In a written statement, Sky said it had held the cricket rights since 1995.

“New Zealand Cricket has chosen a different path from 2020 and we wish them well,” the statement said.

“While we would have liked to retain the local NZ Cricket rights from next season, we will continue to offer some of the best cricket the world has to offer, including exciting international fixtures involving the Black Caps on tour.”

It retained a partnership with Cricket Australia, which gave it the rights to broadcast Black Cap tours until 2021, and all international matches.

Spark Sport has run into trouble with the streaming of this year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan, after it nabbed the rights from Sky Network Television last year.

Sky was doubling down on sport content, with the introduction of a refreshed sport streaming app earlier this year.

It announced it was bidding for the rugby Sanzaar rights for more than $235 million last month.

Sky chief executive Martin Stewart previously said it would send anyone home broke who tried to outbid it for sport content rights.

Spark hit major problems early in the RWC, after its streaming service dropped out for some subscribers during the critical match between the All Blacks and the Springboks.

At the time Spark became so concerned about the quality of its feed that it decided to simulcast the match on TVNZ’s free-to-air channel, Duke.

Many incensed viewers took to social media posting photos of choppy pixelated images, slow connections and error messages from Spark Sport.

It blamed the configuration of the signal coming out of the US for the problems.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters was among those who complained that Spark had dropped the ball when it most mattered.

■■CRICKET

Fans upset Kiwi cricket fans haven’t been so riled up since the underarm bowling incident of 1981 – at least it feels that way.

Yesterday, Spark Sport announced it had snatched the New Zealand Cricket from Sky TV after first securing the rights to the Rugby World Cup. From April next year, domestic and international cricket matches will be streamed on Spark Sport for six years until the deal expires.

Sky TV also recorded a record low share price on the NZX, dropping by 18 cents (16.22 per cent) to as low as 92c.

Since the decision was announced, the Herald had been inundated in emails from disgruntled sports fans.

Rurally based cricket fan Lyn said they had a poor wi-fi connection and had already missed out on the Rugby World Cup coverage.

“My reaction? Awful and gutwrenching,” Lyn said.

Robin England also weighed in: “Living rural and having limited rural broadband to be able to stream mean we will have to top up and that costs us a fortune.

“So looks like we can no longer support cricket in New Zealand now.”

Jeanette Holman was as equally dismayed about the prospect of having to stream the cricket.

“Gutted they can’t get Rugby World Cup right ... dreadful coverage ... come on Sky get your act together ... how did you drop the ball again?” she said.

The announcement sucked, Allan said, and he would be cancelling his account with Spark.

“What really annoys me Winston, is that you promised before the election that we would emulate Australia and have major matches in all codes free to air.”

Tough battles on the courts

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

Mid Canterbury’s young hoopers’ struggles have continued on their home courts at the U13 Southern Regional Basketball Championships which are being held at the EA Networks Centre.

The Mid Canterbury Girls B Grade side were the first team to pick up a win at the tournament, defeating Marlborough 46-40 yesterday morning.

McLaughlin totally focused on breaking Bathurst duck Dominant Supercars series leader Scott McLaughlin hopes his Holden rivals can finally stop their whingeing after receiving aerodynamic changes that have dramatically increased their speed ahead of Sunday’s Bathurst 1000.

Defending series champion McLaughlin said he was sick of speculation that this season was not a level playing field after his Ford team’s blistering start, but hoped all that would end at Mount Panorama thanks to Holden’s new-look package.

Supercars officials green-lighted new aero changes for every Holden at the last round in New Zealand, promptly turning the form guide on its head at the Auckland SuperSprint.

Holden won pole position at both races in New Zealand, winning one before McLaughlin emerged triumphant in the other to clinch his 17th victory for the season – a new Supercars record.

It ensured McLaughlin arrived at Bathurst with a staggering 598-point championship lead over his nearest rival.

Holden’s aerodynamic package is the latest of several changes of-

Scott McLaughlin has trouble keeping four wheels on the ground. ficials have adopted this year to ensure parity after McLaughlin’s Mustang dominated from the outset in 2019.

Officials introduced a new centre of gravity rule for all cars following the second round, the Melbourne 400 at the Australian Grand Prix round in March, after McLaughlin won five of the first six races.

Then there was an aero reduc-

tion slapped on Ford before not one but two aero modifications for Holden, the latest introduced in New Zealand.

Rather than look over his shoulder at the renewed Holden threat, McLaughlin hoped everyone could now start focusing on racing at Bathurst and stop speculating that Ford held an unfair advantage.

Asked if Holden were now faster

thanks to their new aero package, McLaughlin said: “For sure they are better, absolutely.

“There is not as much whingeing any more.

“That’s certainly going to help everyone’s ears.

“Hopefully we can just get on with racing and stop talking about the ‘p’ word because honestly parity has been a big subject this year.

“It is something frankly that is

quite annoying for all involved.

“I just hope it is a great race (at Bathurst) and that word doesn’t come up and the people at the end of the race are the absolute deserved winners.”

While clearly annoyed by the noise from Holden this year, McLaughlin said he was solely focused on breaking his Bathurst winning duck.

McLaughlin is the red hot favourite with co-driver Alexandre Premat but the Kiwi has never had much luck on the mountain.

His best finish in seven previous attempts is a distant third last year.

But McLaughlin believed his huge championship lead would ensure he wouldn’t die wondering this weekend.

McLaughlin can conceivably crash out in the next two rounds and still lead the series.

“We know we have got a good car and we know we are going to be somewhere in the mix but you need a bit of luck,” he said. “(But) I have an opportunity where I am a fair bit ahead in the championship and I can afford to be aggressive and take risks.”

Ashburton College have come agonisingly close to recording their first win at this year’s New Zealand Secondary School Netball tournament.

In their first game of post pool play yesterday, they faced off against St Mary’s College.

Having battled against some of the biggest named schools in the country such as St Kentigern College over the first two days, AshColl started strongly against their Wellington rivals.

By half-time in the game they were leading by two goals, with the scoreboard reading 21-19.

In the third quarter St Mary’s were able to swing the advantage and led by three goals at stages, but AshColl never dropped the bit, keeping the scores close.

Eight minutes in to the fourth quarter St Mary’s were able to extend back out to a three-goal lead.

AshColl cut that lead to one at the five minute mark, and levelled the scores with four minutes and 23 seconds left on the clock.

From there the game went goal for goal, with St Mary’s holding the centre pass advantage that meant AshColl had to score every time just to keep the scores level.

Eventually that pressure told and St Mary’s were able to turn the ball over with one minute 30 to go, and were able to score quickly, extending the score to 40-36 by the final whistle.

In their first post pool play match on Wednesday afternoon AshColl faced off against a very familiar opponent in Villa Maria.

Half-time saw the game locked up at 17-all, but a drop in intensity in the third quarter by Ashburton saw them trailing by seven going into the last quarter.

A strong fight back from AshColl saw them get within three off Villa, losing 32-35.

When the team needed the ball near the end off the game Mia Pearson came up with two crucial turnovers.

By finishing within three goals off Villa the College girls gained a critical point, something the team thoroughly deserved.

In their third game of post-pool play, AshColl faced off against a sharp Napier Girls’ High School side that was fresh of a victory against Villa Maria.

Napier started strongly, and led 15-7 at the end of the first quarter.

They kept the pace going strongly and worked to an unassailable lead of 30-13 at half-time.

From that point the AshColl girls got up to speed, but were never able to take much off of Napier’s lead, trailing 41-23 at the end of the third quarter, with final score of 4833.

Ashburton Guardian 37

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You could use a few connections that will nurture your talent, and you’ll find them by joining a group, signing up for a class or just aligning yourself with our own interests in a more public way.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Whatever you do that’s good for your confidence, from getting a haircut to taking a social risk, will make your loved one treat you better. It’s as though they will sense your new elevation and meet you there.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The selfless nature of true love allows you to appreciate a person without requiring that person to be like you or fully understood by you. The connection still has requirements, but they’re minimal.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The group dynamic will serve you well. Someone will be good at the things that you are not good at, and you will be able to help people who have entire different sets of skills than you can contribute.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Persistence can be a character trait, but it can also just be a habit. So if you’re feeling a little low on grit, focus on making it easy for yourself to do the thing you need to do. How can you clear the way?

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): People who either don’t possess or have given up the need to be right all of the time have a lot more energy and are 10 times more charismatic than anyone holding on to that impossible and annoying standard.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Fearlessness isn’t attractive, because it’s not very relatable. Most people know fear. They admire those who come up against it and try to go on in spite of it.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Wherever you go, you gravitate to people you can learn from. In today’s case, you’ll learn that your friendship is valuable and your service is appreciated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Regret is a form of rejection. If you regret, you reject the person you were and the choices you made. What if you could accept you did your best back then? Would it be easier to move forward?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It’s not too late. It looks like it’s too late because a lot of people did things long ago, but later, today will seem like an early hour. Anyway, it’s the best hour you’ve got. Proceed.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You set out to learn a thing in order to achieve a different result. If you’re still getting the same result, you either haven’t implemented what you learned, or it wasn’t the lesson you were looking for and you need to look elsewhere.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): It’s actually easy to be cool when you’re oblivious and self-focused.

Those who are sensitive and hyperaware will find it hard to be cool; however, they’ll be something else – maybe warm or curious – and that will matter more.

New skills on the course

By Heather Mackenzie

Grey skies and the odd spot of rain did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of budding golfers in Methven yesterday.

Nineteen young golfers, ranging from five years to mid-teens, are attending a two-day programme led by Ashburton golf pro Matt Davis.

This was the first time Davis has taken a class like this at the Methven club.

“I’m really happy to be up here teaching the local kids.”

Day one was all about teaching golf basics from the ground up.

“We’ll start with what I call GPS

– grip, posture and stance, then move on to learning the mechanics of a half golf swing”, Davis said.

Next the young golfers moved on to learning a full swing and once they mastered that, Matt taught them the difference between an iron and a driver, when to use them plus the relevant GPS. “Irons are shorter than drivers, so that means the players setup is different.”

Today the golfers get to put their new skills to the test playing a nine-hole round, with Matt on hand to give relevant advice and encouragement.

The Methven club has a history of running golf classes for young golfers.

“When our last teacher left the district, I approached Matt to see if he could help over these holidays”, golf co-ordinator Bruce Dixon said.

Clearly his decision to involve Matt was a success.

His teaching ability and communication style soon saw his young charges’ skills improve rapidly.

“I’m really pleased with the turnout.

“The plan is to instill a love and

understanding of the game that hopefully lasts a lifetime,” Dixon said.

Davis is originally from Timaru where he began playing golf at a young age.

From 14 he was playing representative golf and continued to do so into his mid-20s.

Shifting from Timaru and leaving the freezing works prompted acareer change.

“To begin with I moved to Christchurch and played my golf there.

“One day I drove past the Ash-

burton Golf Course and thought, why not?

“I called in to see if they needed a golf pro.”

Luckily for him they did.

Davis has been with the Ashburton Golf Club six years and is a fully qualified golf pro.

“To become fully qualified you have to train.

I completed a three-year apprenticeship through NZPGA.” If you want to know more about children’s golf in the Methven area, Bruce Dixon is always happy to help.

Time for whingeing is over, says Scotty McLaughlin
