District pulls in tourist dollars

It might have made a $10,000 loss in the last financial year, but it was a year that Experience Mid Canterbury general manager Bruce Moffat described as very, very positive.

There was strong growth in both domestic and international tourism, he said, with $171 million coming into the district in tourism dollars, up more than $40 million on the previous year.

The Ashburton District was currently in fifth slot in Canterbury for tourism income behind Christchurch, Mackenzie, Timaru and Waitaki.

“The most significant spend is coming from the Singaporean and the Malaysian

your eyes and they want an honest answer, they don’t want an answer online.”

Trenz remained one of the biggest bangs for marketing dollars because it allowed the district to be exposed to dozens of wholesalers from one venue. This year Moffat spoke with 51 individual companies.

Most of the EMC budget comes from an Ashburton District Council grant of $386,000 and that meant he had to run on a ‘really skinny rag’,” he said.

Looking ahead, domestic tourists, Asia and the Australian market continued to be big players for Ashburton but there was increasing interest from Europe.

Over the past year the organisation had reviewed its website to ensure it had the right imagery and that it could be easily viewed on all devices from large screen to cellphone as most tourists were now using devices to plan their travel.

Through working with its strategic partners – Christchurch Airport, Canterbury Tourism and Mt Hutt – EMC had made a significant push into a range of markets. This had involved Asian trade fairs and to China.

The Chinese market was different to most in that they preferred face-to-face meetings, he said. “If you don’t do that, then they’re not playing. They like to see

■ TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP

Core TPP principles finally agreed

The re-branded Trans-Pacific Partnership is ready to be signed if a majority of the 11 partner nations agree to the terms.

Agreements in principle have been reached on almost all aspects of the agreement, but four countries are being given time to renegotiate aspects of contention.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says while New Zealand isn’t one of the four holding it up there’s still work she’d like to do around the controversial investor-state dispute settlement clauses.

But for now New Zealand’s team have managed to achieve a narrowing of provisions so they’re similar to what’s in free trade agreements with China and Malaysia.

“It is not a perfect agreement but it is a damn sight better than what we had when we started,” Ms Ardern said on Saturday afternoon (local time) following the APEC Leaders Summit in Da Nang, Vietnam.

The Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) no longer applies to investor screening. Anyone who takes up contracts with the government would have to sue under domestic procedures instead of ISDS and a third aspect has been agreed around financial services.

Those provisions have been suspended, so while they will re-

main in the deal, a separate side treaty notes that they would not apply unless all nations agreed to re-include them.

As well as the reciprocal agreement with Australia to scrap ISDS provisions Ms Ardern said New Zealand was also continuing to seek side letters with a handful of other countries, but won’t detail who they are until an agreement has been ratified.

Trade Minister David Parker said New Zealand had also had wins in suspending patent extensions in relation to Pharmac, something the government believed would increase the cost of medicines.

But TPP opponent Jane Kelsey is suspicious of the spin the government is putting on what has been achieved, especially around ISDS. “If there is more, we need to see it so we can evaluate the government’s claims. I am inherently suspicious given the spin that Trade Minister David Parker has put on other provisions,” the Auckland University professor said.

A side agreement with Australia not to use ISDS was in the original agreement, Prof Kelsey said.

Most investment came from Australia but that did not protect New Zealand from investment disputes.

New chiller units will soon be installed in the EA Networks Centre’s pool complex.

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Taking the heat out of summer

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Sweltering summers in the EA Networks Centre’s pool complex will be a distant and unpleasant memory this year with work under way to install new chiller units.

Excessive heat in the pool area last summer unleashed a flood of complaints from users and that prompted the Ashburton District Council to dig into its coffers to fund the installation of a bank of air chillers.

On one occasion this year staff were forced to close the pool and on about 27 others the temperature in the pool complex breached comfort levels.

Stage one of the chiller installation has been completed, sports facilities manager Steve Prescott said, with the complex closed at the end of last month while cables that will power the new units were laid.

With that work completed, the installation of the units should be a straightforward exercise, he

said. The air conditioning system will be operational in early December.

The chiller units were part of the original design but were not installed as costs were pruned to keep the project within budget.

When complaints about excessive heat were made on many occasions last summer, Prescott made a case to the district council to invest $400,000 to ensure temperatures in the swimming pool area were comfortable yearround.

■ REFUGEE CRISIS

Manus response ‘unacceptable’ New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has blasted Australia’s handling of the refugee crisis on Manus Island as unacceptable as she seeks another meeting with Malcolm Turnbull on the issue.

Ms Ardern has continued to push New Zealand’s offer to accept 150 refugees and asylum seekers from Australia’s offshore detention centres since her first

face-to-face meeting with her Australian counterpart in Sydney a week ago.

She wants a more substantive conversation when both leaders reach the Philippines for the East Asia Summit this week.

“We made the offer because we saw a great need. No matter what label you put on it there is absolute need and there is harm being done,” she said yesterday.

“I see the human face of this and I see the need and the role New Zealand needs to play. I think it’s clear that we don’t see what’s happening there as acceptable, that’s why the offer’s there.”

There are 400 refugees and asylum seekers who have barricaded themselves inside the mothballed detention centre.

■ CHRISTCHURCH A&P SHOW

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Christchurch A&P Show might run like a well oiled machine, but behind the scenes there’s an incredible amount of work carried out by a small group of people to ensure the three-day show continues to be a headline event.

And one of those is Ashburton woman Nicola Henderson.

She’s into her fourth year in the marketing manager’s role and says that each year the job gets easier.

“I definitely know my way around the place now. The key is knowing the right people to talk to and often they’re our huge volunteer base. They’re the ones who do a lot of the grunt work,” she said.

The show might be only a three-day event, but each one is a year in the making, occupying three full-time and three or four part-timers. Show week sees around 500 volunteers join their ranks.

“This is the 155th show so there’s definitely a lot of plug and play but the challenging thing is that outside show time this is just a park and everything for the event has to be built each year – and taken down again,” Henderson said.

Work starts about three weeks before the show opens with marquees erected, trade stalls constructed and two weeks after the last member of the public leaves on Friday, the site has to be cleared again.

“It’s quite an autonomous job with a lot of responsibility. I’m the right hand man – or woman – to the event director,” she said.

Her parents farm at Lyndhurst and Henderson suspects her rural background may have been one of the reasons she landed the job.

“With as little as I know I’ve become the go-to person on rural things.”

It’s a job that brings her into

contact with a wide range of people from sideshow owners and entertainers to agribusiness owners and exhibitors.

It is the event’s 20th year at Canterbury Park after its move from inner city Lincoln Road.

Like all events that have longevity, the Canterbury show is constantly changing.

It now caters for both town and country and the current thrust is to grow the innovation and agribusiness sector.

“It’s important we continue to promote the positive side of agriculture and I feel proud that we’re able to do this. The show is also a great chance for rural and urban people to talk. It enables people to have discussions face to face and get an understanding of issues. There is a disconnect, but events like this help break that down,” she said.

When the gates open on Wednesday, Henderson becomes public property. It’s her job to talk to media, set up interviews and to ensure any problems are happily solved.

“We’re a well-run organisation but there’s always a little chaos underneath. It’s like being a swan, we paddle furiously under the water but we’re calm on top.”

Show week sees her team working very long hours. The first animals arrive two or three days before the gates open and it’s a daylight to dark event until the last animal and exhibitor leave the following weekend.

One of the biggest changes for organisers of any public event has been tougher health and safety regulations.

Because of the sheer size of their event, the show team started working in the changed environment a year early to ensure every base was covered.

Henderson is not Ashburton’s only link to the Canterbury show – Ashburton farmer Peter Gilbert is the chairman and Richard Lemon is a past chairman.

International growth in school rolls in Mid Canty

“

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO

CHANGE YOUR

BEHAVIOUR PAUL RICHARDS WHITE RIBBON DAY VOLUNTEER

Fee paying overseas students are a growing source of income for schools and Ashburton College is hoping that next year it will see numbers on its campus rise.

Currently the college has 19 international students on its roll, predominately from China and Japan, but principal Ross Preece is keen to see the nationalities diversify and the numbers grow.

With 5 per cent of a school roll set as the upper limit for fee paying student numbers, the college had plenty of room to grow before it reached 60 students, but there was one thing hampering that growth, however, and that was classroom space, he said.

The school has rebuild plans awaiting Ministry of Education sign-off but until new classrooms were built it is at 100 per cent maximum capacity.

Preece is keen to move into the German market and the introduction of a new outdoor education course at senior level was likely to be a significant attraction to these students, he said.

“The German schools have a long history of sending students overseas to schools and they also come with pretty good English.”

Current overseas students are a mix of Year 11, 12 and 13 and while European students tended to come for six months or a year Asian students were often at the school for two or three years.

Students live with families while in New Zealand.

“It’s a lucrative business for a school but it also provides valuable cultural integration and while we’re likely to have the same number next year making plans and a business case for some new markets as well as maintaining our traditional markets,” Preece said.

Fees sit at around $13,000 for a year with home stay costs added.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE ALUMNI

In brief

Catching up with the past

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton College Alumni group is holding a function to celebrate its first year.

Organisers are inviting former students, teachers and others who support the school to share in the night on November 22.

The evening will include an address by college principal Ross Preece, who will reveal the

group’s first project.

Alumni board chairman Alister Argyle said the organisation had grown considerably on Facebook and via its website in the past year.

The evening was a chance to socialise, remember old times and look at how people could contribute to the life of the school in the future.

“We’ve enjoyed seeing the en-

gagement on social media, with plenty of comments around old school photos.

“There is a lot of goodwill in our community for the college and it has produced some outstanding citizens.”

Former student and rocket technician Pete Datlen was back in town last week as guest speaker at the school’s Year 13 prizegiving. He said the college had pro-

vided plenty of opportunities and good times.

He now works for Rocket Lab, a company that launched a rocket into orbit from New Zealand earlier this year. NASA is amongst its clients.

The celebration function will be held at the Gluyas Motor Group’s new showroom, on Kermode Street, on November 22, from 5.30-7pm.

■ FREAKY FRIDAY FRIGHT NIGHT

First fright night a screaming success

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

Methven’s inaugural Freaky Friday Fright Night is being hailed as a success by organisers and competitors alike.

The event, which was held in Methven at the Methven Racecourse on Friday night, saw more than 100 people take part in the newlook event for the town and everyone walked out buzzing about the experience.

Juanita Richards, who came up with the original idea for the night before it was developed by her and her fellow organisers, said she went into the night with no expectations but was over the moon with the outcome.

“For a first go, I thought it was great,” she said.

“We have had a lot of positive comments about the night and also picked up a few things to learn from that we can do better in the future.”

A joint venture between the Methven Community Pool and the Mt Hutt College Japanese Fundraising Group, Freaky Friday Fright Night saw competitors venturing on a winding course through the Methven Racecourse and the Methven Walkway with frights and surprises at every corner.

A huge amount of effort had gone into the preparation with the costumes of those charged with giving competitors a fright incredibly well done and the different scenarios they had to walk through, each as well thought out as the other.

Final figures in terms of the fundraising effort are still being tallied with donations still coming in, but Richards said they were in-

Rescued from Pukaki A woman has been rescued from Lake Pukaki after she and a friend drifted out to the middle of the lake in their small inflatable without a paddle. Police, Coastguard, ambulance and a rescue helicopter were all called to the incident at the South Island lake on Saturday night, which has prompted a warning from police over water safety. The two women took the inflatable onto the lake wearing just their togs and no life jackets with nothing to call for assistance, says Inspector Hirone Waretini. One of women swam to shore to call for help and the Coastguard boat eventually rescued her friend. She was then taken to hospital by helicopter in a moderate condition.

Homicide probe Police are treating the death of a woman in her 20s in south Auckland as a homicide. Officers were called to a house on Maich Road, Manurewa early yesterday, and discovered the woman when they arrived. “As a result of our initial assessment of the scene, a homicide inquiry has commenced,” Detective Inspector Gary Lendrum said. The woman’s body will undergo a post-mortem examination and police are carrying out a forensic examination of the property.

Arson charges

Competitors are given a fright by one of the scarers at the Freaky Friday Fright Night.

PHOTO MATT MARKHAM 111117-MM-008 debted to businesses from Methven and Ashburton who got behind the idea and donated “hundreds of prizes” that were given out on the night.

“We were blown away by the support we received from people around the district.

“The amount of prizes we were able to give out was amazing.”

As well as the course, discos were held for

varying ages of children throughout the night with food stalls on offer as well.

The night began in daylight for the youngest of children who were taken around the course under adult supervision before the older kids had their turn.

Then, the extreme fright challenge began in darkness which tested the nerves of even the most hardy of souls.

Two woman have been arrested and charged with arson following a fire at a Hamilton high school.

The 19-year-olds will appear in Hamilton District Court on Wednesday following Friday night’s fire which destroyed two science class rooms at Sacred Heart Girls’ College. The school says NCEA exams for senior students will continue today as normal while junior students will return to school tomorrow.

Rural Women celebrate 85 years

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

COLIN.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Rural Women Mid Canterbury celebrated 85 years of existence last Friday with a fashion show of wedding dresses representing the decades since the group’s inception in 1932.

About 60 people attended the event at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds, including Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon and his wife Rose Austen-Falloon.

Members of the many branches within the Mid Canterbury area modelled or displayed and discussed a range of wedding dresses, while other women read out lists of local, national and international events that helped define the past eight and a half decades, both highlights and moments of sadness.

The activities of Rural Women New Zealand (formerly Women’s Division of Federated Farmers) began in Mid Canterbury on August 9, 1929 when a branch known as Mid Canterbury was formed, with Mrs F. G. Evans as president.

In 1931 the name of that branch was changed to Ashburton, as by then other braches had formed, including Seafield, Lismore, Mayfield, Ruapuna and Westerfield.

Then on November 19, 1932, it was decided to form a Mid Canterbury provincial organisation, with Seafield’s Mrs F. Johnson the first president.

In 1999 Women’s Division of Federated Farmers changed its name to Rural Women New Zealand.

Budding directors will have the chance to immerse themselves in the silver screen this summer and get behind the lens of an original homegrown film.

The Big Little Theatre Company is bringing celebrated cinematographer Sam Walls to town to produce music videos and an original movie.

Walls is this year’s Artist in Residence at the company’s Summer Theatre School, and will be helping 6 to 18-year-olds produce film content with the Plains Museum as a backdrop.

Children’s Theatre Director Jackie Heffernan said she was excited to have secured Walls, who has worked in video production all across the world.

“I’ve wanted to make movies for a long time but I’ve never been able to find the right filmmaker until this year,” she said.

She said Walls is particularly experienced in the world of adventure film, having worked with Tourism New Zealand, Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism and Black Cat Cruises, the United Nations Development Programme, Pole to Paris climate change campaign and on the documentary film Thirty Million.

Walls describes himself as a “cinematographer and photographer with an energetic, dynamic style,” who has worked in locations from the sweltering rice paddies of Bangladesh to the freezing blizzards of the Mongolian Russian Mountains, and also founded a production company called Raw Cinematics.

Under Wall’s guidance, Heffernan said the summer school course will involve an intensive week of film work, followed by a red carpet premiere of the final products.

“The plan is to take them to the Plains Museum, immerse them and see what they come up with,” she said.

“The films will be totally original, and although it’s a big ask to create, write, short, act and film in a week, it will be a heap of fun.”

Students will be able to choose between producing a film or, if musically inclined, a music video.

“More and more, music videos are becoming a form of art,” Heffernan said.

After six weeks of pop-up artworks and arty activities, SCAPE Season 2017 wraps up on Saturday.

Forty works are currently distributed around central Christchurch, ranging from giant polished steel dinosaurs to a glowing glass pavilion. Managing Curator Heather Galbraith said the festival catered for all ages and could be viewed by foot, bike, tram, buggy or car. A SCAPE app shows the best route to view all the art on, as well as a calendar of fun-filled interactive activities including artist workshops and guided tours.

OUR VIEW

Is there an answer to the i-SITE dilemma?

Matt Markham

EDITOR

M

ayor Donna Favel’s suggestion that perhaps the businesses which seemed to benefit directly from the town’s i-SITE could be responsible for paying for it to be open certainly drew plenty of discussion over the weekend.

In the midst of a heated Q&A session following the Experience Mid Canterbury AGM on Friday afternoon, mayor Favel floated the idea that businesses could pay a targeted rate to keep the door open, or in this case reopen them, or the cost could be added to existing rates.

On face value, it seems like a decent option – and the large amount of public outcry around the closure would certainly suggest that members of the Ashburton District would be more than happy to face a rate rise to ensure its future.

Or would they?

No matter how determined the argument, the suggestion of having to spend some of your own money can often put a dampener on things and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to suggest that the people of this region might not, in fact, be happy with footing the bill for the i-SITE to remain open.

Likewise, local businesses.

With increases looking likely across the board with a rise in the minimum wage and a declining number of faces in the Ashburton CBD, an added cost to the business on top of everything else might just about seem like a step too far.

Money often changes everything. Especially if it is your own.

There is a bit of irony in the thought that a rate increase could be a potentially saving option for i-SITE, when it is money that has ultimately spelt its demise in the first place.

So, what’s the answer here then?

The basic answer is that there isn’t one. The i-SITE in Ashburton was decommissioned 10 days ago and the chances of it reopening are seemingly non-existent.

Perhaps it might be time to try and embrace the new – and move forward from the old.

All the information provided at the i-SITE is still available, just in different locations and like anything it will take a bit of time to adjust to that.

Or, again, perhaps, the fight needs to continue.

That power is in your hands.

Question of the Day: With Summer just around the corner, what’s your favourite thing to do in the Ashburton District on a Sunday?

Lucy Took my daughter to the Plains Railway for the first time today and went for a ride on the steam train, we both thoroughly enjoyed it and looking at the old tractors! Will be going again next time the trains are running.

Angela I would like to say church with the family but those who know me know that would be a lie, not alot to do here so if it’s not a walk to the domain I use the towns supply of water and put the sprinkler on Keryn I like bike riding with my niece and nephew to the domain. I don’t live there any more but it will always be home to me. If you don’t like the place move and stop moaning Greg Tinwald. Pool and Ashburton Domain ...a drive to the foothills and lunch at Stavely store a definite fav as well Adam Work! It’s the only day on farm my phone won’t ring all day so it makes for a piece full day of work!

Becky Take the dirt bikes down to the ashburton track and let off some energy!

Les Nothing to do here so go somewhere else and enjoy Shirley Go out to the airport to watch the activity. Great!

Cathie Church then a nice lunch somewhere then a stroll through the domain.

Unless there’s rugby on TV! Gaylyn Go to the beach or the domain with the kids to run off some of their energy Bev Boring here go somewhere exciting on nice days Nomex Put petrol in car and get out of it Shirley catch up with family Pam Make time for family and friends

Sabine Work. Luckily I love my job Courtz Skydive Mel Plains railway, take the kids to the park (Tinwald or Ashburton domain, or one of the smaller parks around Tinwald) visit family, coffee with friends, walk/ bike ride for an Ice cream for kids. I think it’s more about the people than the actual places.

I also don’t understand why so many people complain about Ashburton, if you don’t like it, move elsewhere. You’ve obviously got somewhere better in mind, so go there.

Cynthia There’s also plenty of Beautiful native bush available close at hand to go on walks and family day outs. Ashburton and surrounding districts like Methven, mount somers, Geraldine where you can spend a day at peel forest in the fresh air. Get your kids organised and enjoy the close proximity of lots of out door things to do.

New government out of touch with our region P

arliament is back in session following the election with a new minority Government in place.

While it is a new experience for me sitting on the opposition bench, I remain incredibly proud to be representing Selwyn once again and maintaining a focus on the issues that matter to our communities.

Canterbury was well-represented under the previous government with a number of cabinet ministers hailing from this region.

Furthermore, both Sir John Key and the Right Honourable Bill English grew up in the South Island.

Unfortunately the new government has only one Canterburybased minister in the new cabinet, which is where the key decisions in government are made.

Our region will still have a strong voice in Parliament, however, as I am joined by many National colleagues in the opposition who are based in Canterbury electorates and who have a strong understanding of what matters to Cantabrians going

Development; and Andrew Falloon, MP for Rangitata.

In my own role as the opposition spokesperson for Justice and Workplace Relations and Safety I am already concerned at the direction that the new government is taking in announcing its intention to abolish the 90-day trial period for new employees.

I have spoken to many small business owners around Selwyn over the past few years and they have told me that this legislation has encouraged them to take a risk in hiring a new staff member, particularly a young and inexperienced one.

In most cases the new staff member has worked out well and proven to be an asset to their business.

If the staff member does not perform satisfactorily, however, the employer is able to end the employment relationship with notice, and after having given the employee appropriate feedback and the opportunity to improve.

The 90-day trial period is not just a useful tool for small

business owners but is also appreciated by many employees because it gives them the opportunity to decide if a new job is really suited to them before committing to it long-term.

Due to the economic policies of the previous government and the hard work of our businesses, the current government has inherited a strong employment market and an unemployment rate of 4.6 per cent, which is the third highest employment rate in the whole of the developed world.

It is important that we all hold the new government to account to ensure they don’t fritter away the great gains made by New Zealand workers and businesses in recent years.

■ UNITED STATES

Trump now agrees with US intelligence President Donald Trump says he’s convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin believes it when he says Moscow did not interfere in the 2016 US presidential election.

But Trump says he also believes US intelligence agencies, which have concluded that Russia did meddle.

“I believe that he feels that he and Russia did not meddle in the election,” Trump said of Putin at news conference with Vietnam’s President Tran Dai Quang in Hanoi “As to whether I believe it, I’m with our agencies.”

The US intelligence community has concluded that Russia interfered in the election to help the Republican defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump had said that Putin again vehemently denied the allegations - this time during an economic summit in Vietnam. Trump said he believed “that when he tells me that, he means it.”

Trump had also dismissed former US intelligence officials as “political hacks” and accused Democrats of using the issue to try to sabotage relations between the two countries, putting lives at risk.

At the news conference, Trump reiterated his view that it’s crucial for the US to get along with Russia, and seemed to suggest that it was time to remove the sanctions Congress has slapped on Russia in retaliation for its election meddling efforts.

As he travelled to Hanoi, the secondto-last stop of his Asia trip, Trump told reporters that Putin “said he absolutely did not meddle in our election. He did not do what they are saying he did.”

“Every time he sees me, he said: ‘I didn’t

The president lashed out at the former heads of the nation’s intelligence community, and said there were plenty of reasons to be suspicious of their findings. “I mean, give me a break. They’re political hacks,” Trump said, citing by name James Clapper, John Brennan and James Comey.

In a tweet sent from Hanoi, Trump bashed the “haters and fools” he said are questioning his efforts to improve rela-

tions with Russia. Trump had danced around the question of whether he believed Putin’s denials on Saturday, telling reporters that pressing the issue would have accomplished little.

“Well, look, I can’t stand there and argue with him,” Trump said. “I’d rather have him get out of Syria, to be honest with you.

I’d rather have him, you know, work with him on the Ukraine than standing and arguing about whether or not – ‘cause that whole thing was set up by the Democrats.”

Royals mark anniversary of end of war The Queen and senior royals have joined servicemen and women past and present at the annual Festival of Remembrance as Britain remembered its war dead on Armistice Day. The monarch was joined at the Royal Albert Hall in London by thousands of veterans for the 90th anniversary of the event, organised by the Royal British Legion, of which she is patron.

Millions of people fell silent as events

were held across the UK on Saturday to mark the 99th anniversary of the end of World War One. A special tribute was held in honour of former Forces’ Sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn, who celebrated her 100th birthday this year.

The Queen was accompanied by Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Kate, Prince Andrew and Princess Anne.

A German woman had to be rescued from a charity clothing bin after falling in while trying to retrieve her ATM card.

The 23-year-old woman had deposited some clothes into the container before realising that she had left her card in the pocket of one of the garments.

She then tried to climb halfway in, the western German city of Moenchengladbach’s fire department said yesterday.

Despite the help of a passerby, she fell inside the container completely and was unable to climb back out, as the bin’s flap was designed to only work in one direction.

The local fire department used heavy machinery to open the container and the woman emerged, uninjured and holding her bank card.

Honorary Oscar The first Oscars of awards season have been presented to four film-industry veterans.

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president John Bailey called the honorary award recipients “very representative of the breadth of filmmaking”. None has won an Oscar before, though Roizman was nominated five times.

Jessica Teich told the New York magazine blog Vulture.com that the actor made continual, overt and lewd comments and invitations after they met at a theatre where she worked and Dreyfuss appeared. Dreyfuss agent Barry McPherson has denied the actor ever exposed himself to Teich but that he acknowledged to Vulture other encounters Dreyfuss now realises were inappropriate.

Vieux-Quebec (Old City) is overlooked by the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac – claimed to be the most photographed hotel in the world.

History’s grip in Quebec F

rom the Dickensian atmosphere of falling snow and glowing lamps, to the peeling of church bells from elaborate cathedrals, row-upon-row of quaint stone gabled houses with steeply pitched roofs, ancient convents, leafy pocket parks, sidewalk cafes, cobblestoned lanes and horse-drawn caleche, VieuxQuebec (Old City) is unstoppably picturesque.

It is like a grand set of evocative gorgeousness, a built landscape spanning 400 years, bestowed with World Heritage protection in 1985.

It is the only North American walled city beyond Mexico, underpinning its proud sense of historical continuity. A city that clings to her French-speaking heritage and Gallic traditions.

Home to the largest Francophone population outside of France, Vieux-Quebec is the cradle of French North America, where the dream of New France was born and died.

The Old City comprises the Upper Town, surrounded by fortifi-

Charles Dickens probably summed up Quebec City’s appeal best: “Splendid views which burst upon the eye at every turn,” writes Mike Yardley. cations and strutting the craggy heights of Diamond Cape, while the Lower Town is nestled around its base, fanning out from Place Royale.

I started my exploratory at this compact and photogenic plaza which the locals consider as the birthplace of French America. It is where the famed French explorer Samuel de Champlain made his home away from home in 1608, after declaring it French territory.

There’s still a bust of Louis XIV, the Sun King, in the centre of the plaza, installed in 1686, which was the town’s bustling marketplace in the 17th and 18th centuries. Commercial activity stagnated in 1860 and the district became rundown and all but abandoned on the grubby edges of the port.

But 50 years ago, the harbourside district was reborn and rehabilitated, with antiques shops, bistros, and chic boutique hotels

breathing renewed atmosphere into the plaza.

Dominating the square is Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, Québec’s oldest stone church, built in 1688 after an inferno razed many Lower Town homes.

Built atop the ruins of Champlain’s first outpost, British cannons smashed the church during the 1759 siege, which was lustily restored four years later. Unsurprisingly, the church is one of the most coveted locations for weddings in Canada. It’s fully booked for the next two years.

Rue du Petit-Champlain is arguably the prettiest street in the city, flanked by impeccably restored merchant houses and fur trading posts, now brimming with bistros, art galleries and handicraft boutiques. Natural-fibre weaving, Inuit carvings, handpainted silks, local fashion design, and enamelled copper crafts are

among the trademark specialities for sale here.

After founding the settlement in the Lower Town, Champlain relocated its heart to the more easily defendable Upper Town, atop Diamond Cape.

Originally the two districts were connected by the vividly-named Breakneck Staircase, a gut-busting stairway first built in 1635. Originally built in wood, the current steel staircase replaced it in 1968.

It’s a hell of a thigh-burner, so save your energy and opt for the funicular when ascending.

I’m a funicular fanatic from way back and Quebec’s cliff-climbing contraption is a classic. It’s actually one of the region’s oldest businesses, hauling humanity between the Upper and Lower Towns since 1879. The funicular coughs you out onto Dufferin Terrace, which occupies the site of the fort and chateau St. Louis that

Champlain founded in 1620, prior to his death in 1635.

For two centuries, the chateau served as the official residence for the governors of New France, including the British rulers, until it was destroyed by fire in 1834.

The governor at the time, Lord Durham, decided to build a sprawling cliff-side wooden promenade on top of the chateau ruins, which has been progressively enlarged ever since.

This ginormous boardwalk, which now extends for a kilometre along the cliffs of Diamond Cape, delivers sweeping views across the Lower Town and the St. Lawrence River.

I loved strolling along the terrace at night, or grabbing a seat on a bench, backdropped by the soaring turrets of the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac – claimed to be the most photographed hotel in the world.

Rue du Petit-Champlain is arguably the prettiest street in the city.

The moon’s glow turned the St. Lawrence River into the colour of liquid mercury, which of course would famously freeze over in the heart of winter.

Lurking beneath the terrace, the archaeological crypt of the chateau’s remains and the seat of power for French and British governors. In recent years, a major excavation project has revitalised the ruins and the relics, which you can now walk through, underneath the terrace. Highly recommended!

The terrace eventually leads you all the way down to the Plains of Abraham, where a 20-minute battle changed the course of history and a continent’s destiny. It was on this field that Britain’s General James Wolfe and the French General de Montcalm crossed swords and both died, climaxing in the British army conquering Quebec, spelling the death of New France.

It’s a peaceful city park now, full of winding walking paths and bicycle trails, and a favourite spot

for cross-country skiers, come winter.

Adjoining the park, the British reinforced the city’s defences and built a colossal star-shaped fortress, the Citadelle – the largest fortified base in North America still occupied by troops. The regiment turns out in scarlet tunics and bearskin caps for the changing of the guard, daily.

In a city that has borne witness to such dramatic military history, the Fort Museum brings it all to life with a riveting sound and light show, re-enacting the area’s important battles.

It’s all staged across a 400-square-foot replica of the city – complete with ships, cannons, and hundreds of miniature soldiers lined up for battle. This eye-popping diorama was first created 50 years ago, but has been progressively enhanced with technological lighting effects, delivering an easy-to graspinsight into the battle-scarred story of Quebec. https://www. quebecregion.com/en/

Reid channelling Nelsen

By Jason PIne In big games, the best players stand up.

Eight years ago, Ryan Nelsen was colossal in the heart of New Zealand’s defence as the All Whites beat Bahrain to reach the 2010 World Cup. On Saturday afternoon, on the same patch of grass, Winston Reid emulated his former skipper with an absolutely immense performance in the heart of his side’s defence as they drew 0-0 with a side ranked 112 places higher in the world.

Time after time, Reid was central to repelling everything the Peruvians threw New Zealand’s way with last ditch tackles, towering headers or timely interceptions.

His performance was even more impressive given the fact he was clearly struggling with a niggle in the second half, yet still charged into his work and glued the New Zealand rearguard together.

If Reid was New Zealand’s man-of-the-match, Ryan Thomas wasn’t far behind.

With every game in the white shirt, this talented youngster displays ability and heart in equal measure.

He showed both at the Confederations Cup this year and they were again in evidence yesterday.

In the pressure cooker atmosphere of a game with as much riding on it as this one, the latter is probably the most important and this kid – and he is still just a kid - has the courage of a lion.

It’s hard to exaggerate what a special talent Thomas is.

At his Dutch side PEC Zwolle, he’s a first choice starter in one of the most technical leagues in the world.

The smart money is on him joining one of the really big clubs in the Netherlands – Ajax, PSV Eindhoven or Feyenoord – sooner rather than later.

If their club scouts were watch-

Looking forward to Lima Coach Anthony Hudson believes the fact the All Whites seldom play at home will help in Lima next week. He said his side have played in a variety of challenging environments, adapting to different cultures and languages when taking on some top teams. And even if they haven’t won, they have at least scored a goal. Those tough experiences on the road will serve the All Whites well as they take on Peru in the second leg of their World Cup playoff on Thursday. “We’re used to playing away from home.

We’re looking forward to going to Lima,” said Hudson.

- NZME

Jets right on track Newcastle Jets coach Ernie Merrick believes his side have the ingredients to challenge for silverware after an unbeaten opening six rounds in the A-League. The Jets’ latest triumph was a 2-1 win over Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium on Saturday which saw Newcastle temporarily take top spot with four wins and two draws.

Merrick drew similarities between the Jets’ current opening and that of the 2006-07 Melbourne Victory side, who won their first seven matches before going on the claim the championship.

Aguero gets Argies home

New Zealand’s Winston Reid holds back Peru’s Jefferson Farfan during their World Cup qualifying match in Wellington on Saturday.

PHOTO AP ing yesterday, they’ll be quickly preparing some paperwork.

Internationally, Ryan Thomas will play for New Zealand for a decade or more.

Chris Wood’s exclusion from the starting side threatened to suck the life from New Zealand’s chances, but his carefully managed introduction with 20 minutes to go proved crucial.

The Burnley striker immediately cast doubt into the opposition’s minds and caused

havoc in the penalty area.

With Anthony Hudson optimistic Wood can start Thursday’s return match, his absence for over three-quarters of the first leg may turn out to be absolutely pivotal.

Peru haven’t had a good look at him.

They may just get that in Lima.

But most impressive – more than the players and the performance – was the All Whites’ reaction to what they achieved.

At the final whistle there were no high-fives or celebrations.

Instead, there was a quiet sense of contentment with what they’d accomplished but – to a man – the understanding that it’s only a job half-done.

These players are no longer satisfied with just being on the same field as Mexico, Portugal and Peru.

They believe they belong there.

It’s half-time. It’s nil-nil.

Game on.

Socceroos confident

Morocco, Tunisia qualify for World Cup Morocco and Tunisia became the final African nations to qualify for the 2018 World Cup as both countries ended long spells away from the finals.

A 2-0 win at the Ivory Coast, who needed a victory of their own to progress, ended a 20-year

qualifying drought for Morocco who last made the finals in 1998.

Tunisia’s absence has not been as long but they will celebrate a first appearance in 12 years thanks to a goalless draw at home to Libya.

Nigeria, Senegal and Egypt had

previously sealed their spots in Russia next year.

Morocco travelled to Abidjan leading Ivory Coast by a point in Group C and needing only a draw in the last matchday.

They endured a scare when Gervinho missed a good chance

for the hosts but Nabil Dirar’s cross evaded keeper Sylvain Gbohouo in the 25th minute.

When captain Medhi Benatia swept home a corner just five minutes later, Ivory Coast were left facing a first missed finals since 2002.

In brief Ready for the critics Michael Cheika says he and Wallabies players are relishing the chance to face England next week and silence critics of his side in the local media. Cheika has lost the past four matches against rival Eddie Jones with the current England side unrecognisable from the one ruthlessly carved apart in 2015.

England were unimpressive in their 21-8 win over Argentina yesterday but Cheika refuses to bite when asked about the prospect of another week of to and fro with Jones. “It’s not about fun with Eddie. We’ll have fun in our own camp and then prepare ourselves the best we can each day.” - AAP

Aussies edge Wales Australia fed off Wales’ errors and ran in four tries in a clinical 29-21 victory in Cardiff on Sunday, extending its winning streak over the Welsh to 13 test matches.

The Wallabies have played seven tests since their opponent’s last, and their match sharpness told in the first half, when Wales paid the price for failing to clear its lines at restarts and its ambitious, high-tempo game plan. Wales had the better of the second half, but was hit by a sucker-punch when fullback Kurtley Beale stole the ball from Steff Evans and raced 60 meters to ground between the posts in the 63rd minute.

■ RUGBY

All Blacks unconvincing

By GreGor Paul Just as they did last year, the All Blacks managed to cling on to victory in Paris in the most unconvincing manner, this time eventually winning 38-18.

It was utterly peculiar that they ended up having to scramble the way they did given that they had the game well under control at halftime.

It was virtually in the bag and then, out of nowhere, the French erupted, played all the rugby, looked a million dollars and barely allowed the All Blacks to touch the rugby ball in the second half.

If the All Blacks made it into French territory after the halftime break it was only just and not for long.

They spent 40 minutes defending, conceding penalties, dropping the ball and looking about as vulnerable as they have any time in the last decade.

Rarely have they been so outplayed for such a long period and still managed to win.

Rarely have they chased their tails the way they did, unable to do anything legal to stop France’s momentum.

It was astonishing not just for what it was, but also because it

was in stark contrast to the first half.

Just as France were unrecognisable from the first half, so too were the All Blacks.

They came out with a calm authority to take a grip on the game early, attack hard and often and subdue the French before they had any ideas about settling into things.

There wasn’t a hint of fatigue anywhere within the All Blacks.

The gas tank was most definitely full.

It was the All Blacks who had all the running in their legs, all the sharp movements, all the urgency.

And there is no surer sign of a team feeling alive and energised than their ability to finish moves.

Tired teams are rarely clinical.

They don’t have the awareness to see the space quickly enough or the precision in their execution.

The All Blacks weren’t perfect in their finishing, but they didn’t squander many opportunities and to hit the break with four tries posted and 31 points in the bag was certainly an A, if not an A-plus sort of effort.

And what particularly impressed about their attacking

game was the composure and almost relaxed nature of it all.

To a man, they took their time on the ball to assess what was on and mostly make the right decision.

Beauden Barrett never seemed to be in a hurry.

He was happy to pick his runner carefully.

The first try was created by Barrett holding on for long enough to allow Dane Coles a gap to storm through.

The second was down to Barrett’s awareness and calm to see the rushing French defence and then beautifully fire a long pass high and wide to Waisake Naholo, who literally doddled over in acres of space.

That calm proved to be infectious as just before halftime Sonny Bill Williams had every French defenders and his dog coming at him and he dropped the ball on to his toe and nudged it perfectly for Ryan Crotty to get through and score.

It was the perfect option, perfectly executed and unlike the shoulder charging or punching the ball dead, a welcome skill that Williams has taken with him from league.

And then of course the importance of that accuracy became

apparent in the first quarter of the second half when the French, as they are prone to do, suddenly came to life and got their offloading working.

It was a little reminiscent of the 1999 World Cup semi-final – New Zealand in control at halftime and then 10 minutes later, unsure what exactly had just hit them.

France scored 13 quick points after the break, brought the crowd into the game and set a little panic racing through the All Blacks.

Quite a lot of panic, and New Zealand’s transformation from being in control to shell-shocked was as dramatic as France’s was in the opposite direction.

If Teddy Thomas’ foot had been an inch to his left, France could have come within six points of the lead with 20 minutes left and the All Blacks not sure if it was Samedi or Dimanche.

And so, just like their visit to the Stade de France last year, they were more than a little relieved to hear the final whistle.

France 18 (T. Thomas, Penalty tries; A. Belleau 2 pens) New Zealand 38 (D. Coles, W. Naholo (2), R. Crotty, S. Cane tries; B. Barrett 4 cons, pen) - NZME

An old rugby league habit has tarnished another test for Sonny Bill Williams. One of the better performances of his test career was spoiled by a bizarre play in the second half of New Zealand’s 38-18 win. The 32-year-old leapt to claim a cross-kick but rather than simply catch it and force a drop-out, Williams batted the ball over the dead ball line. The result? A yellow card and a contentious penalty try, letting France back into the test.

“He doesn’t know the rules, he’s playing league,” coach Steve Hansen deadpanned.

Italy ends losing streak Italy ended a nine-test losing streak when they beat Fiji 19-10 in the first of their November tests.

Punter sweats on ABs One lucky punter has pocketed $55,000 after a gutsy bet on the All Blacks to beat France by 13 points or more. The winner probably thought the All Blacks had the game in the bag at half time, like the rest of the country, however he would no doubt have been sweating as the French forged a fighting come back in the last 40 minutes. It wasn’t enough though, and despite pegging up 13 points, the All Blacks held on to take the win 38-18. TAB spokesman Mark Stafford said the man bet $100,000 on the team to win by 13 or more. “But before the game I actually thought the All Blacks would win by 25 or more so that’s why I thought it was a good bet.”

Ferguson took careerbest figures of 12 wickets for 78 runs in Auckland’s 135-run Plunket Shield victory, despite bowling with a fractured right thumb.

Methven repels challenge

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

Methven continued their winning way in Mid Canterbury A Grade tennis action on the weekend to put themselves in the best possible position to drive for round one honours.

They had to fight hard to hold off the challenge of a resilient Southern side, but eventually claimed honours 4-2 in a good tussle.

Koji Kawamata kept his unbeaten run going and is now a winner of all eight of his matches so far this season.

He and Sam Bubb were forced

to a tie-breaker in their doubles match against Jason Feutz and Luke Glendining but emerged victorious 6-3, 3-6, 10-8.

The Methven side made it a brace of wins for the doubles when Gareth Evans and Isabelle Talbot beat the McKeowns, Oliver and Amelia 6-3, 6-2.

In the singles action, Feutz got one back on Bubb, beating him a tie-break 3-6,6-1,10-2.

Kawamata brushed past Glendining 6-3, 6-2, Oliver McKeown was too good for Talbot 6-2, 6-1 and Evans was the same against Amelia McKeown winning 6-0, 6-3.

Hampstead claimed the biggest win of the round with their 6-0 victory over Fairton.

Jade Brosnahan kept her unbeaten run in singles intact with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Erin Connelly-Whyte while Aidan Mitchell and Pete Kirwan were dominant in their doubles, winning 6-0, 6-0 against Will Edgar and Dave Hampton. The win puts Hampstead in with a sniff of getting close to the pace-making Methven.

Tinwald claimed success in Saturday’s other match-up, beating Allenton 4-2.

With the scores level after the pairs, Tinwald asserted their

dominance in the singles with wins for Eddie Dargue, Pete Leonard and Josh Jones while Aaron Reid led the Allenton resistance, beating Henrik Tawatao in a tie-break.

In A Grade reserve play, Methven Diamonds beat Melthven Gold 4-2, Allenton beat Hampstead Aces 5-1 and South Wakanui clean-swept Hampstead Hillbillies 6-0.

Tennis takes a break this week for Christchurch Show Weekend and when the return in a fortnight it will be for the final round of matches for the first half of the season.

Mannering backs Pasifika tri-series By angelo risso

They failed to win a game in the group stages and looked far from impressive in their draw with minnows Scotland. But Samoa have vowed not to be roadkill for tournament favourites Australia when they meet in the Rugby League World Cup quarter-finals in Darwin on Saturday.

opponent, and have topped their Rugby League World Cup pool with three wins from as many games.

Mannering, gregarious in defeat, said it was a pity to lose to Mate Ma’a but felt the result could only be positive for international rugby league.

While State of Origin tends to hog the headlines in Australia, he felt New Zealand could host the Pasifika sides for tests on a more regular basis.

He also said Kiwi defectors including Taumalolo, David

Fusitu’a and Sio Siua Taukeiaho should stick with Tonga for the sake of the test-level game.

“It’s to our detriment today that Tonga beat us but I always thought (about) how good it’d be for our game, for the second-tier nations to beat top-tier nations – unfortunately it was us today,” the Warriors-based veteran NRL lock told reporters.

“But hey, if the Pacific Island teams get to choose their strongest teams and we can create an international game where (we’re) not having to rely on England

or Australia to get tournaments going, we could play Tonga in a three-match series here or Samoa, or a tri-series.

“If they have their strongest teams, they’re competitive.”

The Kiwis’ loss sees them on a collision course with Australia in the semi-finals.

But first they must overcome the Bati in Wellington.

“We’ll move on,” Mannering said. “Good things for rugby league today but we’ve got to pick ourselves up and really show something next week.”

Lebanon coach Brad Fittler faces an anxious 24 hours – first to find out whether he has another game to coach, and then whether he has enough players to play in it.

Already two men down due to injury, stars Robbie Farah (heel), Michael Lichaa (cramp), Mitchell Moses (shoulder) and Chris Saab (concussion) all went down against Australia. Fittler said: “He’s been wanting to play in this for a long time. Really passionate Lebanese footballer. He’s been playing for Lebanon for quite a while. He gives us a lot of energy around the camp.”

■ RICCARTON

Pitmans eye sprint double Michael and Matthew Pitman have a black type sprinting double on their home track in their sights.

The Riccarton trainers bagged the opening leg on Saturday when Enzo’s Lad produced a career-best performance to win the Listed Yesberg Insurance Pegasus Stakes (1000m).

The Testa Rossa five-year-old isn’t in Wednesday’s Gr.3 Lindauer Stewards’ Stakes Handicap (1200m), in which the stable will rely on Kinagat and the last-start Ashburton winner Flying Ibis.

Enzo’s Lad executed a longterm plan when he collected his fourth win in 18 appearances.

“In the autumn we were thinking that he would be a lovely spring horse so we put him away,” Matthew Pitman said.

“We’ve always had a high opinion of him and he’s obviously come up really well this time.”

A potential contender for January’s Gr.1 J.R. & N. Berkett Telegraph, Enzo Lad was guided to victory by champion jockey Chris Johnson.

Next 48 hours crucial A CT scan this morning will determine the immediate future for popular kiwi galloper Gingernuts who suffered a serious injury during his preliminary for the Emirates Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on Saturday. The four-year-old fractured a near front pastern as he was cantering to the start of the feature race and required immediate veterinary attention.

The gelding was loaded onto the horse ambulance and taken to the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinic in Werribee where the injury was diagnosed.

“He travelled like a winner and I got a gap half-way down the straight before it closed and with no weight on his back he was too good for them,” he said.

“I really like him.

“He’s lightly-raced and getting better with age.”

Enzo’s Lad speared between runners to beat Don Carlo and Signify with the winner’s barn mate Kinagat overcoming a che-

quered passage to finish fourth.

“He’s gone a really nice race, at the top of the straight he got into a bit of trouble and got going again,” Pitman said.

■ NEW ZEALAND CUP DAY

Bagrie looking for early Cup day win New Zealand Cup Day invariably gets underway on a bright note with the loose class handicap trot over two miles The Garrards Horse & Houndsponsored race usually draws a full and even field and often produces a winner at double figure odds like Lothario last year or a potential top liner like Eyre I Come two years earlier.

For many engaged this year there will be the chance to win a race on Cup Day for the first time and into this category comes young Tom Bagrie, who lines up

M3

one of the favourites in the fouryear-old BD Khaosan.

Bagrie comes from a family which has a rich tradition of success on Cup Day stretching back over 50 years and last year he had his first starter at the meeting with The Governor.

He was outclassed by the All Stars pair of Thefixer and Vincent, who finished six lengths clear of the rest in a C1 pace, but it was a moral victory of sorts for Bagrie as The Governor won the race for third amongst the other stables.

The All Stars Stable has runners engaged in seven of the 12 races tomorrow and will probably win half the card, but at least Bagrie won’t have to contend with them this time.

Lavros Jack will start the favourite in the first and will probably win if he does things right, but BD Khaosan is right behind him in the Fixed Odds betting and will pose a serious threat tomorrow.

The son of Angus Hall was a disappointing fourth at Ascot Park in his last race but Bagrie is

hopeful he will perform in line with his very good earlier form this season.

BD Khaosan made up a stack of ground for sixth after an early mistake when he resumed at Addington in early October and then he bolted in by three lengths on a soft track over 3000m at Methven, which is the most pertinent form line for Tuesday’s 3200m event.

Bagrie’s grandfather Bill had a top pacer back in the 60s in Orbiter, who was second in the Cup in 1964.

Co-trainer Karen Parsons was giving little away prior to the start of Saturday’s Rating 75 1100m contest at Riccarton as she discussed the prospects for the return of injury plagued mare Starvoia. The now four-year-old mare was making her return off an eight-month break from the track that was necessitated due to some niggling issues she had experienced during her three-year-old campaign.

Parsons was expecting a tidy performance from her charge, but even she was nearly lost for words after the daughter of Starcraft produced a devastating burst of speed that carried her past her rivals in the twinkling of an eye at the business end of the Riccarton contest. “That was unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable,” she said as she waited for the mare to return to the Riccarton birdcage.

Katie Cox and Rites of Zhou have their rivals covered in the learners’ trot at yesterday’s Mt Hutt Trotting Club trials at the Methven workouts. Rites Of Zhou was the only horse in its heat to complete the entire race without galloping and cleared away inside the final 200 metres to win comfortably. It was a big day up on the Methven track with 17 heats and close to 110 horses as the grass track racing circuit starts to draw close with many horses starting off their campaign at the trials meeting. Local legend Ricky May was in good form winning five heats, four of which were on horses trained by Greg and Nina Hope.

Maiden pacer Saying Grace was the most impressive of those. Nine horses gained their qualifying ticket in the four qualifying heats.

Cryptic crossword

Monday, November 13, 2017

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The beginning of love is intoxicating, ravishing, irresistible even. The middle mellows out. There’s no shame in that mellow middle stage. Some actually prefer it.

Before you decide to fight it, give it a chance.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re not the only one who loves a good joke. That’s why you’ll take the time to carefully construct one for someone else today. Pranking, silliness and the like can be an act of love.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When you want to see someone badly, you’ll make it happen. The same principle applies for those who seek an audience with you. The trick today is in finding irresistible triggers that build desire.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): As respectful as you are (you have no desire to overstep boundaries or make anyone feel defensive), you also have a good sense of when to move forward with certainty. Don’t wait to be chosen.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It feels pretty bad when loved ones aren’t supportive. It’s hurtful when they ignore your efforts or don’t seem to get what you’re doing. On the bright side, the more you love your work the less you need them to.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll get attention, but that’s not really what you were going for, nor is it a pressing need. What’s more important and lasting than attention is respect. It’s a good day to make “respect” your mantra.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re going for greatness.

Part of the reason is that so many people do good work that “good” becomes the new “mediocre.” Today’s version of greatness will include tenacity and originality, too.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Editors looking for mistakes in a text will often change the font to keep their eyes from glossing over what’s very familiar. It really works! Some version of this trick will work for you today, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Helping people is who you are. There’s nothing that could be offered – no reward or incentive – that could ever motivate you more than the caring heart that is your nature.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll be sharing your memories with people who really want to know you better. Inside jokes are born out of this and will be perpetual, strengthening the tie.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re the master of being you. Others will make suggestions! Just remember you are not beholden to anyone in this regard and have only to please yourself.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): This is one of those times when it’s best to do nothing. But why do it passively when you can do nothing with a vengeance? Take it to the level of art, doing nothing passionately, almost actively.

WordBuilder

Insert the missing letter to complete an eight-letter word reading clockwise or anti-clockwise.

How many words of three or more letters, including plurals, can you make from the five letters, using each letter only once? No foreign words or words beginning with a capital are allowed. There is at least one fiveletter word.

Sport Deja vu for Maloney For James Maloney, It’s a case of deja vu going to black from blue.

Maloney has all but confirmed his move to Penrith next NRL season, completing the player-swap that included Matt Moylan switching to Cronulla announced last week. The Panthers are expected to officially announce the three-year deal worth a reported $2.5 million this week.

Penrith will be Maloney’s fifth club in 10 years, including a two-year stint at the Sharks where he helped lead them to a maiden premiership in his first season.

Stags upset Allenton

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

What looked like a reasonably clear picture at the start of the Mid Canterbury senior cricket season is getting murkier by the week, after another weekend of surprise results.

Both Allenton and Methven suffered defeats, completely throwing the formbook out the window and leaving the competition wide open after the first two rounds of the Pritchard Shield.

At the Ashburton Domain, the Tech Stags won the toss and captain Callum Gallagher threw the challenge down to defending champions, Allenton, and asked them to bat.

They lost their first four wickets inside the opening 10 overs and had it not been for a 56-

run partnership between Sean Strange and Matt Tait, the 139 that Allenton put up would have been a lot less with nine batsmen only managing single figure scores.

Tait finished up the top run scorer with a well-compiled 42, while Strange added a valuable 31 runs to the total.

Wickets were evenly shared among the Tech bowlers with Josh Barnett, Kody Stuthridge and Jeremy and Scott Punselie grabbing braces.

It was Stuthridge who set the tone however, taking the vital wickets of both Jeff Naish and Lyall Jemmett on his way to recording figures of 2-7 of just five overs.

In reply, Tech made light work of the run chase.

William McKee and Henry

Hudson looking forward to Lima P16

Cook put together an impressive 136-run opening partnership before McKee fell for 76.

Cook saw the side through for victory with his unbeaten knock of 47.

Up in Methven, Coldstream arrived with a full squad and had their hosts under pressure from the outset. They managed to limp their way through to 70 all out after Jay Houston ripped through the middle order on his way to 3-28 of seven.

Richard Print was his usual menacing self with the ball, taking 3-17 of his 7.1 overs.

For Methven, Louis McDonald registered the highest score with 15.

Coldstream made harder work of the run chase than they would have liked, losing four wickets on the way to securing

the required runs with Houston’s 19 the highest score of the innings.

“I thought we bowled really well,” Richard Print said of his side. “We put them under a lot of pressure and got the wickets at the right times.

“We probably didn’t bat as well as we should have, but we’ve got to be happy getting the win.”

The weekend’s results leave four teams with one win each after the opening two rounds and Allenton, who had the bye the previous week, will be out to try and get things back on track next week when they head out to Coldstream.

Lauriston will host neighbours Methven in the other match, while Tech get the week off with the bye.

Ellyse Perry could be the greatest allrounder test cricket has ever seen.

Perry rewrote the record books on Saturday, amassing the highest ever score by an Australian woman in a test as she finished on 213 not out. Perry’s Ashes knock was also the third highest of any player in women’s test history, the highest unbeaten total and also the highest on Australian soil. Saturday’s unbeaten innings took her test average to 61.71, the thirdhighest in the women’s game.

Formula One robbery Lewis Hamilton has demanded Formula One’s owners take significant action after eight members of his world championship-winning Mercedes team were held at gunpoint in a harrowing robbery on Friday night.

The incident occurred at 10pm local time shortly after the crew had left the Interlagos circuit. One of the team members had a gun held to his head while shots were fired. “I was horrified. I am very close to those guys,” Hamilton said after he crashed out of qualifying. “Things should be in place to keep everyone safe.”
