Information kiosk for i-SITE building?

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s i-SITE might have closed its doors, but that may not be the end of the flow of information out of the central Ashburton building.

Currently it is home base for Experience Mid Canterbury and with the i-SITE officially closed from October 23, there are question marks hanging over the future use of the Ashburton District Council-owned building.

Experience Mid Canterbury general manager Bruce Moffat said that discussions were still to be had around his organisation’s continued tenure of the building, but he’s hoping the building itself will be retained on site by the council. The location is great and the building itself suited to a variety of uses, he said.

“I see some good opportunities for this building and I’d like to see some kind of unmanned information kiosk in here.”

The i-SITE’s doors have been closed for several weeks and signs direct people wanting to access its transport booking service to either House of Travel on East Street or the Methven i-SITE. That referral system appears to be working well, Moffat said.

Methven’s i-SITE remains open and while there had been a “couple” of staff changes, it was a case of business as usual for the public with the normal change to summer opening hours in the next week or two.

Council commercial manager Colin Windleborn said that no decision had yet been made on the future of the i-SITE building.

Wickliffe back in court One of New Zealand’s most highprofile criminals has returned to the familiar surroundings of a courtroom.

Dean High Te Kahu William Wickliffe, 68, appeared before a registrar in the Tauranga District Court yesterday to face two charges, including one charge of excess breath alcohol and one of breaching parole conditions.

Through his lawyer, he entered an intimated guilty plea to both charges, which relate to an incident on September 23. An intimated guilty plea effectly tells

the court the accused intended to plead guilty at a later appearance.

Wickliffe, one the country’s longest-serving inmates, has spent more than half his life behind bars.

He is serving a life sentence for the manslaughter of Wellington jeweller Paul Miet during an armed robbery, a sentence originally imposed in 1972.

Wickliffe has been released and recalled to prison five times between 1987 and 2011.

Wickliffe has been remanded at large to appear in front of a judge later this month.

Ashburton mother Sarah Bartlett was helping to give back to those supporting her through her own breast cancer journey yesterday.

■ PINK RIBBON STREET APPEAL

Cancer victim gives back to those that supported her

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Volunteers are painting Mid Canterbury’s streets pink as they collect for the annual Breast Cancer Foundation street appeal – among them, one with a very personal connection.

Ashburton mother Sarah Bartlett is battling stage three breast cancer, and wanted to give back to those supporting her.

“I would usually do this for my mum who passed away from breast cancer … but now this year I guess I’m just trying to give back,” she said.

Bartlett recently had a bilateral mastectomy and is currently undergoing a course of chemotherapy treatment.

Her diagnosis came in early July, and was in fact her second encounter with cancer in a short period of time. Just last year Bartlett successfully managed to beat a brain tumour found in her frontal lobe.

But Bartlett remains full of positivity, taking to the streets with a smile yesterday to help collect for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

“It’s amazing, when you get talking to people, everyone has

a story, a connection,” she said.

“And everyone has been really good this year, it’s going really well.”

Volunteers will be collecting for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal again today from 8am to 6pm, in locations across the district.

In Ashburton they will be stationed by the BNZ, EA Networks Centre, Mitre 10, Countdown South and Redmonds; in Rakaia at Mobil and Four Square; and Tinwald at Supervalue. Donations can also be made on the Breast Cancer Foundation’s website.

Course participants carry out bucket test Taking part in an Irrigation New Zealand irrigation operator and manager training day in Ashburton on Thursday were (from left), Morris McKay, Bruce Hood and Shannon Hende.

The day, which was aimed at farmers and system operators, included a mix of classroom learning and practical, in-the-paddock-application.

The field work required course participants to carry out a bucket test, which involves using a set of buckets, spaced at set intervals, to measure how much water is being applied by an irrigator and how uniformly that is being done.

The training was run by Paul Reese of Irricon Resource Solutions.

■ ASHBURTON BOWLING CLUB

Still at loggerheads

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A large redwood tree at the entrance to the Ashburton Bowling Club is driving a wedge between club members and landowners the Ashburton District Council.

The bowlers say the tree poses a significant risk as they fear high winds could see it fall across the club house and playing greens, but the council is adamant the tree is in good condition.

Last month club president Murray Anderson made a plea to council to have the tree removed. It was a significant safety issue as during high winds its shallow roots could be seen moving in the ground.

If the council ignored the con-

cerns of club members it was showing blatant disregard for their safety, he said.

In an effort to have something done, Anderson met with mayor Donna Favel, councillors and open spaces manager David Askin. He also spoke during the public forum of September’s council meeting, saying the tree had to go.

Anderson’s pleas have fallen on deaf ears with the council sticking to its guns, the tree would stay. It was considered in good condition, was a superb specimen and did not pose a risk to the clubhouse, council staff said.

And that’s left the bowling club with a dilemma on its hands. They

are adamant the tree needs to go because it poses a safety risk, but they’re forced to accept it will remain, said member Roger Gutberlet.

“Yes, we’ll just have to live with it but the members are definitely not happy,” he said.

The club had a shed destroyed by a falling tree several years ago and if the redwood fell on the clubhouse that would signal the end of the club, Gutberlet said.

“If it falls and kills someone, the council can’t say it hasn’t been warned.”

The club might carry insurance, but at the end of the day, there had to be absolute assurance that trees were safe, he said.

In brief Man missing Police are becoming “increasingly” concerned for an elderly Wellington man who has been missing for more than 24 hours as the weather in the city deteriorates. Graeme Penny was last seen at his Johnsonville rest home about 4.30pm on Thursday.

Police are continuing to search for him. Police said in a statement they were growing increasingly concerned for the man’s wellbeing as the weather in the area worsened. They asked Johnsonville residents to check any outdoor buildings on their property, in case Penny has sought shelter and requested those in the area to keep an eye out for him.

Sausages recalled

Playcentre showcases Mayfield gardens

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When they needed to raise funds for their playcentre, Mayfield parents realised they had the makings of a fundraising venture on their doorstep, their neighbours’ gardens.

That saw the start of Mayfield Playcentre’s Homegrown Garden Tour and Fete.

It’s been running every second year for the past six years and has gone from strength to strength.

This year it’s back again and

will include several local gardens along with the largest ever fete, with more than 50 stalls setting up for business.

The Mayfield District is renowned for its stunning gardens and the fundraiser has secured access to many of these over the past six years.

This year the tour will include Hamish and Catherine McCormick’s Manaton, which is home to an extensive range of rare and interesting trees and plants; Erin and Kevin McNab’s beautifully

landscaped Stoneylea, with its large reflection pond; the often admired The Olde Manse garden developed by Nuala and Rob Ewer on the threshold of Mayfield; and finally Ben and Victoria Johnson’s Barcoo Estate, a beautiful country garden which will double as this year’s fete site.

Many of the parents originally involved now have school-aged children but continue to support the biennial event, said event spokesperson Rebecca Whillans.

“And of course this event

couldn’t survive without the wonderful support that playcentre receives from its community,” she said.

The fete will offer a huge range of homewares, garden sculptures, children’s and women’s clothing, plants, children’s toys, art, soaps and candles, preserves, giftware, jewellery, lampshades, baby products and tasty food.

Mayfield Playcentre’s Homegrown Garden Tour and Fete will be held on November 4.

Toasting turns into a roasting

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A group of students enjoying school holidays on Wakanui beach recieved a big fright when their fun turned to flames on Thursday afternoon.

The group were roasting

marshmallows on the beach near the Hakatere huts, but the fire spread to old rubbish and debris.

At around 2.30pm, a passerby on State Highway 1 called Ashburton Fire and Emergency after spotting “out of the ordi-

nary” smoke.

A second caller soon confirmed that tyres and other objects were alight on the beach.

Two tankers and one fire truck were sent from Ashburton fire station.

“It wasn’t a big fire but as you

could imagine, it was pretty smoky, Senior Station Officer Charlie Kelland said.

“The local hut-holders assisted with their fire-fighting pump … and we got it under control pretty quickly, in about 10 minutes.”

A Wellington teenager went into anaphylactic shock on Wednesday after eating a sausage mistakenly labelled as dairy free. Hellers has recalled a batch of its Original Sizzlers after discovering they were cheese sausages in the wrong packaging, but the recall didn’t come soon enough for 14-year-old Meaghan Robertson Serjeantson. The Roseneath girl was rushed to hospital with hives and her throat closing after eating the sausages. Meaghan needed two doses of adrenaline, as well as oxygen and steroids. She and her mother were in the hospital for about nine hours.

Cull for diseased cows Planning has started for a major logistical exercise required to cull about 4000 dairy cattle in the Waimate district. The decision to slaughter the cattle on five Van Leeuwen Dairy Group properties was made as the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) moved to contain the bacterial disease Mycoplasma bovis. MPI director of response Geoff Gwyn said the cull was not something that would “start tomorrow”. Rather, it was a big logistical exercise that needed to be thoroughly planned and co-ordinated. It was expected removal of the animals would start after consultation with affected parties and most would be sent for slaughter. The disease was confirmed for the first time in New Zealand on two Van Leeuwen Dairy Group properties in late July.

Barry signed on for the long-term

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Barry Kerr is one of life’s goodsorts.

There’s not much the Mt Somers local doesn’t know about his community and there’s not much he hasn’t done when it comes to giving his time for that community. But Barry has a problem.

He’s put in more than 50 years volunteering for a variety of organisations and he’s thinking about retiring. His problem is there’s no one coming behind him to carry on.

It’s not that Barry wants to retire, it’s just that his health isn’t the best. His immune system is stuffed and that means he runs out of stuffing too if he works too hard or too long.

In July he logged 50 years as a volunteer for the Mt Somers Fire Brigade and he’s just ticked off 51 years’ service with the Mt Somers Reserve Board, 28 years as its secretary-treasurer.

He’s given the board plenty of notice – when the next elections are held in in two years’ time he won’t be putting his hand up. He’s attended his last meeting as secretary but says he’ll hang onto the purse strings for two more years.

Barry blames his dad Jimmy for getting him hooked on community work.

“We were at a meeting and dad said ‘I’m retiring, Barry you’re taking over’.” And he did.

The same happened with the fire service – dad moved out and Barry moved in.

“I was already going to fires with dad while I was still at school. You couldn’t do that today though, it’s a very different set-up.”

Being the money man for a reserve board mightn’t sound like a tough job but Mt Somers has a thriving camping ground thrown in the mix.

“That means you can be sitting down counting out $3000 worth of cash and sometimes $1000 of that’s in 50 cent pieces. It all has to be itemised for the council now whereas in the past you just banged it in the bank.”

Deciding to hand in his reserve board job wasn’t an easy decision, Barry said.

Barry Kerr, the ultimate volunteer, has given more than 50 years’ service to the Mt Somers community.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 131017-SN-022

“I feel I’m letting the community down by stepping away, but I’ve got serious health problems. I’ve been told that if I don’t slow down I won’t be here by Christmas. My gosh, it was a hard decision, I actually broke down because my community means a lot to me.”

He spends every Tuesday in Ashburton Hospital and reckons over the 40-odd years he’s been ill he’s slept in just about every bed

in the hospital – except maternity.

Most days he’s working by 7.30am but by mid-afternoon he’s exhausted.

He’s still signed on with Fire and Emergency New Zealand, but says he’s only called in now to make up a crew.

“Just because I’m giving up the reserve board, doesn’t mean I’ll be any less interested in my community, hell no. You make a huge

number of friends when you’re a volunteer but it does worry me that there are no younger people coming in to do these things.”

Barry’s family has long links with Mt Somers. His grandfather was in charge of pit ponies in the Mt Somers Coalmine and his dad Jimmy worked in the mine while his mum milked cows.

They lived in a house about 100 metres from where Barry lives

today. His home is the one they moved into when he was nine when they swapped mining for farming several hundred acres in the area.

Until a few years ago Barry farmed 56 hectares of land but that’s now leased and he’s happy to be the keeper of the family home.

Living surrounded by history is a pretty good feeling, he said.

Retracing the horror

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mark Lemon, reliving his journey into the past at Passchendaele, following the war footsteps of his great uncle Walter David Lemon.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 131017-SN-008

Today the paddocks that were the battlefields of Passchendaele are immaculate farmland, home to Belgian families for whom the war is simply an event in the pages of a history book.

But to many New Zealanders, that farmland hides an horrific history. For them it was a battlefield on which their ancestors died.

One of those, Mark Lemon, travelled to Belgium to trace the final days of his great uncle Walter David Lemon.

Walter was a latecomer to the World War One battlefields of Europe but his war was to be a very short one.

He enlisted in January 1917, sailed for Europe in April, arriving in June and became one of the thousands of New Zealanders to lose their lives at Passchendaele.

That series of allied offensives occurred between July 31 and November 10, but October 12 is carved in the pages of New Zealand’s war history as the blackest of many dark war days.

Walter’s army records show that the rifleman was among the first wave of soldiers to attack Bellevue

Walter David Lemon (second from left, back) with his mother Harriet (centre front) and siblings Thomas, Harriet, Samuel and in front Martha, and Flora in 1900.

Spur. He was wounded on October 12 and died two days later in a field hospital.

He died from wounds received in battle – GSW head – gunshot wounds to head. It is impossible to imagine the horror and the pain Walter would have suffered during his hours as he lay wounded and dying in the thick

mud of the battlefield.

Many were unable to be rescued and while Walter was, that rescue came too late.

For Walter, the youngest of three sons in the Lemon family, conscription was automatic. At 27, he was unmarried and with no dependants the New Zealand Army deemed him

of Passchendaele a prime candidate for its ranks. His brothers were spared.

Retracing his great uncle’s war journey was an emotional rollercoaster ride, Mark said.

“We walked out onto the paddocks and looked up at what would have been the German lines and there were just trees, houses and farms,” he said.

“You can see that they were just sitting ducks with the Germans firing from higher ground. We were really emotionally drained afterwards.”

For the families living on that land and in nearby Ypres, the Battle of Passchendaele is just part of their history. There are experts who’ll act as guides for people wanting to retrace the war journey of an ancestor, but to many, the past is just the past, Mark said.

A family he and wife Sally met as they travelled in the area were living in the same house their ancestors had occupied during the battle.

They still farmed the same land but like many in the area preferred to live in the present, letting the area’s history lie.

“In some ways it seemed almost meaningless to the family. They knew about the battle, but it was

just not a part of their lives,” he said.

What surprised Mark was the quantity of artifcacts that were simply lying around waiting to be collected.

He came home with several – part of a rifle, stonework from a gun pillbox.

Roadworks in the area still see bodies unearthed, and it’s not uncommon for farmers to do the same. When this occurs the experts are called in and attempts at identification are made through dog tags. Where possible families are notified.

With the centenary of Walter’s death today, Mark said it was the right time to tell what little his family knows of his life and his war story.

“I’d been fascinated by Walter and Passchendaele ever since I was a kid and I really needed to go, to do this.”

He visited Walter’s grave in St Sever cemetery in Rouen, France where many soldiers who died in hospital found their final resting place.

The journey was a poignant one, but it was one that Mark felt his family needed to make.

Artifacts gathered from the battlefield of Passchendaele.

Special ops soldier killed during exercise The special operations squad member who died during a training exercise off Coromandel Peninsula yesterday was Sergeant Wayne Taylor.

Taylor, who was married and a father of four, fell about 5m during the training exercise, witnesses have reported.

He had served in East Timor and Afghanistan since joining the Defence Force in 1997.

Chief of the Army Major General Peter Kelly said the regiment would remember him as an outstanding soldier.

“He was a consummate professional, who was known for his dedication and reliability – always upholding our core values in every endeavour,” he said.

The soldier’s family are being supported by members of the New Zealand Special Operations Force and the New Zealand Army.

An Auckland Rescue Helicopter was sent to a vessel near Channel Island about 6.30am, a spokesman said.

Maritime New Zealand said it was reportedly a “medical incident” but the Defence Force announced later Taylor had died during an exercise.

A witness at Port Jackson in the Co-

Sergeant Wayne Taylor romandel told Radio New Zealand he had seen a soldier brought ashore there in an inflatable boat, accompanied by about 15 people in black, some of them armed.

The witness told the broadcaster he had been told the soldiers had been training on a boat off Channel Rock and that the soldier had fallen.

He described how ambulances arrived and he saw paramedics work for about 90 minutes in an attempt to revive the soldier.

Police have been informed and all inquiries are being directed to them.

A police spokeswoman said police were made aware of a death off the Coromandel Peninsula, and will be making inquiries on behalf of the coroner.

Defence Minister Mark Mitchell has extended condolences to Taylor’s family.

“I offer the Government’s most sincere sympathies and my own to the soldier’s family. Our thoughts are very much with you at this terrible time,” Mitchell said.

“No words can adequately describe this sudden and tragic loss. Your family member was a man who commanded high respect amongst his fellow soldiers and embodied the Army’s core values of courage, commitment, comradeship and integrity.”

Mitchell said the tragedy would be felt by the wider Defence Force, particularly others in the Special Operations Force.

“As Minister I’ve been supported by the SOF and have witnessed their professionalism on operations and in training. I understand there will be a high level of public interest and outpouring of sympathy for the family, but I ask that everyone give family, friends and colleagues the time and space they need to grieve.”

Boil water notices still in place Earlier this week the Ashburton District Council issued boil water notices for people drawing their household supplies from the Mt Somers and Montalto schemes.

Those notices will remain in place over the weekend until test results indicate the supplies are both safe, says council assets manager Andrew Guthrie.

The council detected E.coli in the Montalto supply this week, while the Mt Somers scheme still has high levels of turbidity, he said.

“E.Coli tests must come back clear for three days in order for the Montalto boil water notice to be lifted.

We are awaiting today’s test results for Montalto to confirm whether E.coli has been detected again or whether there is a clear result.”

The council would continue monitoring the Mt Somers water, which still had high levels of turbidity – or cloudiness – present, Guthrie said.

“The notices will remain in place until we are satisfied the water is safe to consume as normal. Our number one priority is the community’s health and wellbeing.”

A precautionary boil water notice for the two schemes was issued on Monday when monitoring equipment at the treatment facilities detected high levels of turbidity.

The treatment equipment is still working correctly, but high turbidity levels lower the effectiveness of the equipment to treat the water properly, he said.

It is believed the heavy rainfall last weekend caused the turbidity levels to rise.

The council will update the status of the two water schemes on Monday, but until then water should be boiled for three minutes before consumption, for use in food preparation or for hygiene purposes.

Plunket resigns from BSA over tweet Broadcaster Sean Plunket has resigned from the Broadcasting Standards Authority after posting a controversial tweet about Harvery Weinstein.

Plunket was appointed as a member of the BSA – the body which deals with complaints from viewers and listeners – on September 7 but only took up duties for the position about two weeks ago.

On Wednesday Plunket tweeted: “Anyone else feeling for Harvey Weinstein?” – which seemed to imply that he felt for the Hollywood producer currently involved in a scandal involving many women coming out claiming he’s sexually harassed them.

The tweet quickly received a number of replies, including from several Kiwis outraged that the

He said: “I feel revulsion and disappointment towards Harvey Weinstein, but as is with so often the case with Twitter, those seeking to be outraged leapt to attack anyone who doesn’t comply with their group think.”

Tens of thousands of jellyfish-like creatures have washed up on Greymouth beaches, surprising even the Department of Conservation with the scale.

DoC says the rotting mass are by-thewind-sailors, also called Velella.

A huge mass blankets an 18m by 8m area of the Blaketown aerodrome car park, with more scattered south along the high tide mark.

They were giving off a strong smell as they lay in the sun.

DOC marine expert Don Neale said by-the-wind-sailors were related to jellyfish and “bluebottles”, which also often washed up.

“They’re quite often seen washed up on West Coast beaches and when there’s one there’s usually dozens, but I’ve never seen them drifted up this much (in their thousands) in one place before,” Neale said.

“As the sea starts to warm up in the spring, all the floating plankton starts to bloom and it’s not unusual to get a lot more things like this starting to wash up, as well as ‘red tides’ of plankton out at sea.”

Just over a week ago, a large number washed up at Cable Bay, Nelson, and a few days later also at Farewell Spit.

They get their name from the small erect ‘sail’ on their backs, which allows propulsion by the wind.

They are not considered dangerous and are part of the Cnidaria family.

Methven Rodeo 2017

BY CRAIG WIGGINS It’s Boots and Hats, Spur and Latigo with the roar of a Sunday crowd to quote the Garth Brooks song happening at the Methven Rodeo grounds on Sunday, October 22. Yes that’s right it’s Labour weekend and that sees the many cowboys and cowgirls travelling to Methven to earn the chance to be champion in what has become New Zealand’s biggest rodeo.

There is always room on the bank for all with a great day’s entertainment and picnic type atmosphere while you watch the athletic Bulls, Horses and cattle put cowboys either in the dirt or if successful line up at the pay window to collect the huge prizemoney on offer thanks to great sponsors and a hard working committee.

As usual there are stalls and refreshments on the ground but please not there is no alcohol to be brought to the rodeo and a total glass ban. A family pass for two adults and up to four children under 16 will cost $50 with adults $20 and under sixteen $10. Bring your under-fives as they are free.

To keep those young ones entertained at lunch time there will be a local team school challenge race with the winning

school team taking home $200 worth of sports equipment.

The community benefits hugely from this annual event as accommodation is in short supply every year as the influx of both contestants and crowd bring the town alive.

There is entertainment planned during the rodeo and for a while after, then in the evening bands will keep your boots stomping till you’re stomped out.

Last year the major benefactor

of the rodeo was the Methven House aged care fundraiser currently raising funds to secure a new facility for the elderly. The donation made after last year’s Rodeo was $8000 plus $5000 the year before.

The committee wishes to run another successful event this year and would like to thank everyone that helps make it possible. All we ask from you is turn up bring some friends and have a bucking good time.

Fonterra confident of its product

Dairy products account for about 27 per cent of New Zealand’s annual $50.84 billion of exported goods and New Zealand households spend 10 per cent of their food budget on dairy products.

Fonterra is keeping tabs on what’s going on with synthetic foods and is currently investigating consumer attitudes to alternative proteins and the role technology plays alongside dairy, a spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.

“Milk from cows provides a natural and complex mixture of proteins, fats, minerals and other nutrients, which will be almost impossible to manufacture, so there will always be a global, growing market for dairy,” she said.

Fonterra noted the growth in consumer interest in “social and environmental factors when making purchase decisions” in its 2017 annual report, and predicted “shifts towards diets with lower environmental footprints”.

Gluckman said the shift raised

a number of “really hard questions” that will need a wide public debate because plant-based synthetic foods rely on genetically modified ingredients to enhance the taste and texture. He sees New Zealand as having three options: stick with ruminant-based farming but adopt new practices including the use of GM foragers; switch to GM-free plant-based ingredients; invest in the full supply chain and produce meat and milk alternative foods.

He said the Ministry of Busi-

Trustpower upgrades earnings forecast Trustpower raised annual earnings guidance for a third time this financial year with strong wholesale electricity prices on both sides of the Tasman and increased generation in New Zealand, boosting the outlook for controlling shareholder Infratil.

The Tauranga-based company forecasts earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and fair value adjustments to be between $255 million and $270 million in the year ending March 31, 2018, up from a previous forecast of $225 million-to-$245 million. Trustpower’s New Zealand generation climbed 16 per cent to 729 gigawatt hours in the Sep-

tember quarter from a year earlier, largely due to its North Island hydro-plants, while the average spot price generated more than doubled to $98 per megawatt hours.

“The increased forecast has been driven by the favourable trading conditions in the year as well as a recalibration of the expected Australian generation determined as part of the current strategic review,” chief financial officer Kevin Palmer said. “Trustpower now expects its Australian ebitdaf to be in line with FY17.”

The electricity generator-retailer has already upgraded earnings guidance twice this year, citing favourable trading conditions and

hired Forsyth Barr to look at spinning out its Australian hydro generation assets.

Listed infrastructure investor Infratil holds a controlling stake in Trustpower and yesterday’s increased earnings guidance feeds into the shareholder’s own accounts. Infratil now sees ebitdaf of between $485 million and $525 million in the year ending March 31, 2018, up from a previous forecast of $460 million-to-$500 million.

Trustpower shares last traded at $5.67 and have gained 20 per cent so far this year, while Infratil was at $3.11, up 13 per cent this year.

Last month the Auckland-based company reported a 7.7 per cent decline in annual earnings to $59.2 million, beating guidance, and is about halfway through a three-year strategy to improve profitability by ditching duplication, streamlining operations, and shrinking the physical footprint.

The shares last traded at $2.16 and have dropped 24 per cent this year, lagging behind a 13 per cent gain on the S&P/NZX All Index over the same period.

The stock is rated an average ‘hold’ based on five analyst recommendations compiled by Reuters with a median price target of $2.08.

“My confidence in this leadership and our strategy for the next 12 months and beyond makes it possible for me to take a leave of absence.”

This will be Tindall’s first extended break from the company since he opened the first store in Auckland’s North Shore in 1982, before going on to establish a nationwide footprint with the distinctive ‘Red Shed’ stores.

Tindall to take extended leave Warehouse Group founder Stephen Tindall will take a year off from the board to focus on his other commitments, especially the preparations for Auckland to host the America’s Cup. Tindall is taking a leave of absence from the board until October next year, with his son Robbie Tindall standing in as an alternate director, the retailer said in a statement.

He’s taking a break to focus on his commitments as Team New Zealand chair, such as securing the necessary infrastructure for Auckland’s hosting of the America’s Cup defence.

“The Warehouse Group is currently well-led at a governance

ness, Innovation and Employment was already tackling those issues in “considerable depth”, although the ministry downplayed how far down the track it was.

Gluckman said New Zealand was better-placed to re-open conversations about genetic modifications than it was 20 years ago and is capable of discussing the issue “without getting drowned immediately in rhetoric”.

That debate was one the public will need to be engaged in, and will canvass new questions about what constitutes ‘natural’, with food derived from GM crops already allowed to be sold in New Zealand if it’s been approved by the Australia New Zealand Foods Standards Council.

New Zealand’s current settings mean the use of GM techniques need regulatory approval, which Gluckman said was stifling innovation where the technology is regulated rather than the output, and pointed out that even nuclear applications weren’t subject to such onerous oversight.

MBIE’s Crabtree said the existing legislative and regulatory frameworks still allowed many “present opportunities in developing plant-based protein foods”.

Fonterra Co-operative Group is confident the complexity of cow milk will always trump plantbased alternatives, which the Prime Minister’s chief science adviser Peter Gluckman sees as posing an “existential threat” to the country’s economic fortunes.

Gluckman threw down the gauntlet in a keynote speech to the annual NZBIO conference in Wellington, saying there was a growing consumer appetite around the world for synthetic alternatives to meat and milk, including in the all-important Asian market, with plant-based foods now crossing the taste and texture threshold and offering a much smaller environmental impact than food derived from pastoral farming.

“Fundamentally there’s an environmental concern for the population as a whole, not only in US, but in countries like China there’s an environmental consciousness,” he said.

“The question is for New Zealand is it a fad? Or is it a real threat for our commodities?”

When Gluckman was appointed to the position eight years ago, he viewed synthetic foods as one of the “big existential risks to New Zealand” and “now I think the risk is real”.

Standing tall but is it standing safe?

Matt Markham

EDITOR

A

n old redwood tree, standing proudly in the middle of the Ashburton Domain, is causing quite a kerfuffle.

The Ashburton Bowling Club are calling it a health and safety issue and want it removed due to the fact it could cause the end of their club while the Ashburton District Council state that the tree is a superb specimen and in good condition.

So, who is right and who is wrong?

Presumably, on face value, one would lean to siding with the professionals in this instance because they should have drawn their conclusion based on the information of a trained person or persons.

The Bowling Club, on the other hand, are acting on only what they can see.

Ashburton Bowling Club president Murray Anderson has led the crusade to have the tree removed and despite writing letters and speaking in a public forum at a council meeting, his pleas to ensure the safety of not only the members of the bowling club, but also ensuring the safety of the future of the popular club, have fallen without success.

The tree in question is quite an incredible piece of timber.

There is no doubt, however, that it is encroaching ever-soclosely on the bowling club property and could potentially pose a risk at some point in the future.

What is clear now is, that because it has been brought to the attention of local government, the Ashburton Bowling Club have done everything they possibly can to ensure the safety of their members and you would hope that in making their decision and coming to the conclusion that they did, that the council have considered that, and, now should something happen – the spotlight will turn directly onto them.

The bright spot on the whole saga is that the bowling club is still fully operational, despite the ever-present danger of the tree.

And with the summer months fast approaching, it will become a hot bed of business as people flow in and out of its gates.

Let’s just hope they can continue to do that safely for a very long time to come.

The nation is on edge as PM Theresa May attempts to keep the lid on the steadily rising temperature of division within and without her Conservative Party and in the country beyond.

Her supposedly moraleraising and sinew-stiffening call to the faithful and the furious at her party conference disintegrated into the original “unmitigated disaster”.

At one point, a professional joker came onto the stage waving an unemployment form under her runny nose; she was then torpedoed by a fit of almost uncontrollable coughing and, just to emphasise the downward spiral in which she was caught, the letters of the party slogan, emblazoned in piercing blue magnetic letters on the whiteboard behind her began, one-by-one, to fall to the floor, leaving a curiously distorted definition of the party’s hopes and dreams.

Some of the many members in attendance could not bring themselves to watch, others covered their ears, while senior ministers in the front row blanched but remained stoically stiff upper-lipped.

EYE ON POLITICS

Yet, despite the disaster, and as the true blue lady she is, May kept right on to the end of the road, at which point she received a standing, and prolonged, ovation.

The aftermath of this amazing episode continues to reverberate wherever – and by whom – politics in general and Brexit in particular are discussed – and that includes almost every man, his woman, of course and their jointly-owned, and walked, dog.

Roaring lion, Boris Johnson, has urged all good “men and true” (and women) to unite behind their beleaguered leader and fight on the beaches – and elsewhere – to ensure an everstronger Britain when the long and dusty path of negotiation reaches its final destination, at some far distant, future date.

Boris, though an infatuated follower of the great, late Winston Chuchill, and despite his clarion call for harmony and unity, is thought by many to have, currently – and furtively – behind his back, the knife

that, when he adjudges the time to be right, he will plunge into Theresa’s back.

Who can tell?

It’s a similar situation to that faced by the mighty Julius Caesar when Brutus, supposedly the most loyal of his henchmen, was the one who ultimately wielded the dagger that killed him.

Brexit has caused such chaos in this part of the world that the final outcome remains shrouded in a miasma of uncertainty, doubt and depression.

Meanwhile, I am entirely up with all the twists and turns of the Great Kiwi Negotiation Saga (GKNS), but as we are 12 hours behind you here, I shall have to give my ‘verdict’ before the real one is known.

I simply cannot begin considering this issue without repeating my long-held view that MMP is neither the sacred expression of democracy nor the panacea of same it is claimed to be, or ever was.

That one man can bully his way into government on the strength of the minuscule percentage of the vote he, and his colleagues, achieved is plain ridiculous.

However, that’s how it is and for better, or much worse, we have to accept the decision of whichever party has successfully flattered Winston into submission.

Whatever the decision, it will please only about half the voting public of New Zealand, but then that is normally par for the course whatever the system employed.

I have noticed the sage of Newshub, Dr P. Gower, has filled in the parliamentary vacuum with a stream of speculative pieces regarding the final outcome of the GKNS. He seems to have covered all bases, indicating he has not only ensured he has a bob each way but also a dollar across the board. Thus, he is bound to be right whatever the political pattern of the new government, his Solomonesque reputation firmly intact!

Still, one has to be comforted by the thought, however dysfunctional one thinks this pattern to be, the dawn will still come up over Aotearoa, New Zealand (unless, that is, Donald Trump and his friend, Kim Jong Un, don’t lose the plot completely) and the All Blacks will go on winning, by one point or 50.

All will be well.

Politics and religion – always risky bedfellows

T

NE

W

hey say religion and politics are two topics of conversation unsuitable or perhaps dangerous to engage in at the dinner table.

Combining them today might seem as risky as poking an alligator with a short stick.

It is, of course, only in recent times that religion and politics have been so drastically separated.

For most of human history they were inseparable, followed by a time of co-existence and now politics are deemed (by many) to be a public matter and religion a private one.

With the passing of time the intolerance and invective so gleefully pointed to by critics of religion has become increasingly the preserve of politics instead.

Why should this be so?

People care about being right or wrong. Once religion is removed from the public square, politics remains the great dividing issue into which we can pour

all our heart and soul.

Political rightness or wrongness becomes the ultimate battleground.

Here we plan the campaigns, denounce the enemy (demonising them where possible), seek the victory and once gained, force our will upon the defeated – with the assurance that we (the righteous) have triumphed over them (the wicked).

Or, if unsuccessful, we regroup in dismay that the dark side has overcome and wait for the day that light will dawn, the people will come to their senses and good will prevail.

Carl von Clausewitz, the famous Prussian general, remarked that “War is the continuation of politics by other means”.

Perhaps today, politics is the

continuation of religion by other means.

Human nature will express its religious core one way or another. Even atheists have a religious commitment to their position – that is, a “faith” in their principles which are, at rock bottom, unprovable by science or logic.

Others dismiss claims of a religious nature on the basis of “what my net don’t catch, ain’t fish”.

The religious core will however, express itself somewhere, and politics appears a suitable vehicle for the purpose.

By the time this article makes it to print we may (or may not) have some decision on the forming of a government for New Zealand.

With all the media focus and personal celebrations and wailings that will accompany it, we may do well to remember this.

Whatever the result, it will be neither the gaining nor loss of

The crowds in Jesus’ time wanted him for a political Messiah. He refused, and went to the cross to remove the separation between God and sinners.

Palestinian deal signed Palestinian rivals Fatah and Hamas reached a preliminary agreement that could return the Gaza Strip to President Mahmoud Abbas’ control and ease a decade-old Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the coastal territory, but past attempts at unity have foundered on key issues that remain unresolved.

The deal was announced at a news conference in Cairo, where negotiators have been meeting.

Egypt has been eager to show progress in unity talks, and both Palestinian factions face pressure to resolve their differences.

The sides have tried, and failed, to reach reconciliation several times before, but even with such scepticism Palestinians celebrated this announcement.

In Gaza, residents took to the streets to rejoice.

A senior Palestinian official said Abbas, the leader of Fatah, might visit Gaza in the coming weeks, depending on the successful implementation of the agreement.

The Western-backed Abbas hasn’t set foot in Gaza since 2007, when the Islamic militant Hamas seized the territory after days of factional street battles.

The Hamas takeover left Abbas in control of autonomous enclaves in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Over the past decade, each side deepened control over its territory, making it increasingly difficult to forge compromises,

Senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmad, (centre right), and Hamas’ representative, Saleh al-Arouri, (centre left), sign a reconciliation agreement during a press conference at the Egyptian intelligence complex in Cairo.

PHOTO AP and repeated attempts at reconciliation failed.

Under the emerging agreement, Hamas would hand over responsibilities of governing Gaza to the West Bank-based government of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah.

Azzam al-Ahmad, head of the Fatah delegation, said Abbas’ Palestinian Authority would assume control of the crossing points between Gaza and Israel

by November 1.

A permanent opening of the Rafah crossing would mean an end to the crippling Israeli and Egyptian blockade imposed on Gaza after the Hamas takeover, which prevents free trade and bars the vast majority of Gaza’s two million people from leaving the territory.

Israel, which has fought three

wars with Hamas since the takeover, has been cool to the idea of Fatah partnering with Hamas, which it along with most of the West considers to be a terrorist group. It also fears that opening Gaza’s borders would help Hamas expand its arsenal and rebuild its military infrastructure.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas is required to recognise Israel, cease its militant activities, release Israeli hostages it holds and abide by international agreements, demands the Islamic militant group has always rejected.

Only one of Gaza’s four commercial crossings to Israel, Kerem Shalom, is currently operating. A small number of people, mainly medical patients, business people and aid workers,

use the Erez crossing to enter Israel.

Officials close to the talks said the sides agreed to set up committees to work out the outstanding details. In the past, such mechanisms quickly led to deadlock.

One committee would have four months to determine who among thousands of Hamas civil servants would be able to join the new government. Another committee would merge 3000 Palestinian Authority loyalists into Gaza’s Hamas-run police force.

Saleh al-Arouri, the head of the Hamas delegation in Cairo, said “we in Hamas are determined, serious and sincere this time and every time to end the division.”

Palestinian political analyst Ghassan Khatib said just reaching an agreement was “not good enough” and it was too early to judge the chances of implementation.

A major sticking point has been the Hamas military wing and its weapons, which Hamas has said are not up for discussion. Hamas officials have assured the Fatah negotiators that the military wing would maintain a low profile as part of any deal. It’s not clear if this will satisfy Abbas, or if the dispute will re-emerge later on.

Various factions aim to meet next month to discuss other issues, such as holding longoverdue parliamentary and presidential elections.

China sees Catastrophic penguin breeding season off US warship

■ ANTARCTICA

A colony of more than 18,000 pairs of Adelie penguins in Antarctica have suffered a catastrophic breeding season with just two chicks surviving, wildlife experts say.

Scientists say an unusually extensive sea ice late in the summer – despite low ice early in the season – is being blamed as this meant the penguins had to travel further for food causing the chicks to starve.

Conservation group WWF says the devastating breeding season also proves waters off East Antarctica must be protected from fishing fleets which make it harder for penguins to find their key food source, krill.

The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) will meet early next week to consider a proposal for a new marine protected area for the waters off East Antarctica.

A marine protected area, which would prevent krill fishing, would help to secure a future for the wildlife of East Antarctica, including Adelie and emperor penguins, WWF said.

Adelie penguins are gener-

Adelie penguins. ally faring well in East Antarctica, but declining in the Antarctic peninsula region where climate change is already established, the conservation group said.

But the same colony which failed to breed chicks this year, failed to produce a single chick four years ago from 20,196 adult pairs, with heavy sea ice combining with unusually warm weather and rain followed by a drop in temperature leaving many chicks saturated and freezing to death.

WWF has been supporting penguin research by French scientists working for the French National Centre for Scientific Research in the re-

gion since 2010.

Rod Downie, head of polar programmes at WWF said: “Adelie penguins are one of the hardiest and most amazing animals on our planet.

“This devastating event contrasts with the Disney image that many people might have of penguins. It’s more like ‘Tarantino does Happy Feet’, with dead penguin chicks strewn across a beach in Adelie Land.

“The risk of opening up this area to exploratory krill fisheries, which would compete with the Adelie penguins for food as they recover from two catastrophic breeding failures in four years, is unthinkable.”

Beijing sent a warship, fighter jets and a helicopter to chase off a US Navy destroyer after it sailed past disputed islands in the South China Sea, it has emerged.

Chinese military chiefs said the USS Chafee had infringed on the country’s sovereignty and security with its “provocation” as it neared the Paracel Islands.

America’s operation was the latest attempt to counter what Washington sees as Beijing’s efforts to limit freedom of navigation in the strategic waters.

China, angered by the mission, responded immediately by dispatching its own navy and air force to warn the US ship to leave.

It comes as President Donald Trump’s administration seeks Chinese co-operation in reining in North Korea’s missile and nuclear programmes.

Hua said: “The US vessel action violated Chinese laws and relevant international laws, undermined China’s sovereignty and security interests.

China’s defence ministry warned it would now further strengthen its naval and air defences.

Perry helps fan propose Katy Perry helped two fans get engaged during her concert in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday night. The 32-year-old singer was performing a gig as part of her Witness: The Tour when she invited two women to join her on the stage. After introducing the ladies, she asked one of them, called Katie, what her biggest wish was. Katie, clearly nervous, then took the microphone and looked at Becky as she told the audience: “Well, I don’t know if all of you’ve all seen Becky, but she’s pretty even without any make-up on ... she’s perfect!” Katie then asked Becky, “Will you marry me?”. The reply was yes.

Lovato not holding back.

The 25-year-old singer sat down with ET’s Keltie Knight to talk about her new YouTube documentary, Simply Complicated, where she revealed some shocking truths about herself. “I lay it out on the line and I’m very, very honest,” she said. “When I share things with my fans, I want it to be honest and real, so I do.

I share all that with them.” And Lovato knows the truth isn’t always flattering.

“That’s the type of honesty that people need to hear in order to protect themselves from possibly going down that road because drugs and alcohol [are] so tempting,” she said.

Fonda not retouched Jane Fonda just gave you one more reason to love her. The Oscar-winning actress has opted to go completely unretouched on the cover of Town & Country. The 79-year-old fronts the November issue sporting a white collared shirt, a chain-link necklace, and statement earrings. The graceful black-and-white cover follows Jane’s appearance at L’Oréal Paris’ Le Défilé catwalk show alongside fellow L’Oréal spokesperson and veteran actress Dame Helen Mirren. While society’s obsession with a woman’s eternal youth is nothing new, thankfully, it is becoming increasingly challenged.

Taliban kidnap victims freed Five years after they were seized by a terrorist network in the mountains of Afghanistan, an American woman, her Canadian husband and their children – all three born in captivity – are free after a dramatic rescue orchestrated by the US and Pakistani governments, officials said.

The US said Pakistan accomplished the release of Caitlan Coleman of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, and her husband, Canadian Joshua Boyle, who were abducted and held by the Haqqani network, which has ties to the Taliban. The operation, which came after years of US pressure on Pakistan for assistance, unfolded quickly and ended with what some described a dangerous raid, a shootout and a captor’s final, terrifying threat to “kill the hostage.” Boyle suffered only a shrapnel wound, his family said.

The couple were kidnapped in October of 2012 while on a backpacking trip that took them to Russia, the countries of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and then to Afghanistan. Coleman was several months pregnant at the time, “naive,” but also “adventuresome” with a humanitarian bent, her father James told The Associated Press in 2012.

The Pakistani military said the family was “being repatriated to the country of their origin.” But it was not known when they would return to North America. They were together in a safe, undis-

PHOTO AP closed location in Pakistan, according to a US national security official.

The Pakistani military said the family had been freed in “an intelligence-based operation by Pakistan troops” after they’d crossed the border from Afghanistan.

Boyle and the High Commissioner for Pakistan to Canada described a scene in which gunshots rang out as Boyle, his wife and their children were intercepted by Pakistani forces while being transported in the trunk of their captors’ car.

The high commissioner, Tariq Azim Khan, said, “We know there was a shootout and Pakistan commandos carried out an attack and rescued the hostages.”

A US military official said a military hostage team had flown to Pakistan, prepared to fly the family out. The team did a preliminary health assessment and had a transport plane ready to go. But sometime after daybreak there, as the family members were walking to the plane, Boyle said he did not want to board.

Boyle’s father said his son did not want to board the plane because it was headed to Bagram Air Base, a site associated with accusations of prisoner abuse, and Boyle was philosophically opposed to going to there. Another US official said Boyle was nervous about being in “custody” given his family ties.

He was once married to Zaynab

Khadr, the older sister of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr and the daughter of a senior al-Qaida financier. Her father, the late Ahmed Said Khadr, and the family stayed with Osama bin Laden briefly when Omar Khadr was a boy.

Officials had discounted any link between that background and Boyle’s capture, with one official describing it in 2014 as a “horrible coincidence.”

The US Justice Department said neither Boyle nor Coleman are wanted for any federal crime.

The couple told US officials and their families they wanted to fly commercially to Canada.

Boyle’s father called the rescue a “miracle.” Coleman’s parents, Jim and Lyn Coleman, meanwhile, posted a statement on the door of their Pennsylvania home expressing joy.

The developments came rapidly – nearly five years to the day after Coleman and Boyle lost touch with their families while travelling in a mountainous region near the Afghan capital of Kabul.

Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said her country was “greatly relieved” the family was safe, and she thanked the US, Afghan and Pakistani governments for their efforts.

US officials have said that several other Americans are being held by militant groups in Afghanistan or Pakistan.

More sexual assault claims laid against Weinstein Detectives in New York City and London are taking a fresh look into sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein now that some 30 women have accused the Hollywood film producer of inappropriate conduct.

New York Police Department spokesman Peter Donald said that investigators are reviewing police files to see if anyone else reported being assaulted or harassed by him.

So far, no filed complaints have been found, he said, other than one well-known case that prompted an investigation in 2015, but authorities are encouraging anyone with information

on Weinstein to contact the department.

London police were also looking into a claim it had received from the Merseyside force in northwest England, British media reported. Merseyside police said the allegation was made a day earlier and concerned “an alleged sexual assault in the London area in the 1980s”.

Some 30 women have now spoken out to say Weinstein had sexually harassed or sexually assaulted them. Rose McGowan, who has long suggested that Weinstein sexually assaulted her, tweeted on Thursday that “HW raped me”.

“Any allegations of non-

consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein,” Weinstein’s representative Sallie Hofmeister said.

Weinstein was sacked last weekend by The Weinstein Co, a studio he co-founded with his brother.

Some of the allegations involved conduct at hotels in Beverly Hills, but police there didn’t return calls on whether they were investigating any possible crimes.

Detectives in the NYPD’s special victims unit have been told to identify and speak with any potential victims, including the women who spoke about their encounters with Weinstein in a

recent New Yorker article.

In The New Yorker expose, a former actress, Lucia Evans, said Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex in 2004 when she was a college student.

At least one other unnamed woman said she was raped by Weinstein, but the article did not disclose when or where it happened. A third woman, actress Asia Argento, told the magazine that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in 1997 at a hotel in France.

Weinstein, through a spokeswoman, has denied any nonconsensual sexual conduct with any women.

Paris to be free of petrol-powered cars by 2030 In the future, the noise of car engines revving around the streets of Paris might become just a memory.

In its latest initiative to reduce air pollution, Paris City Hall wants gasoline-powered cars off the roads by 2030. The controversial move follows Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s plan to ban all diesel cars from the city by 2024, when Paris will host the Summer Olympics.

Speaking on France Info radio, the Paris deputy mayor in charge of transport, Christophe Nadjovski, said “we have planned the end of thermic vehicle use, and therefore of fossil energies, by 2030”.

Many Parisians don’t own a car but Hidalgo still has angered many of them with her efforts to make Paris a greener city. Her detractors have accused her of waging a war against cars.

Wary of those critics, Paris City Hall issued a statement insisting the 2030 deadline isn’t a proper ban but “a feasible and realistic” goal.

Paris has faced rising air pollution in the last few years.

Hidalgo has been seeking to reduce pollution with a series of measures.

In September 2016, Paris authorities decided to close a 3.5

kilometre downtown road and transform it into a promenade.

A year later, the body measuring air pollution said the move had no significant impact on residents’ exposure to carbon emissions across the whole city.

With her ambition of taking gasoline-powered cars off the Paris roads by 2030, Hidalgo wants to go faster than the French government.

In brief Just like family An Italian librarian who says her English setter is her family has won the right from her employer to use family sick leave to care for her ailing pet instead of having to use vacation days. Italian animal advocacy group LAV says it helped persuade public La Sapienza University to let her use two days’ family sick leave to care for 12-year-old Cucciola.

LAV president Gianluca Felicetti says in a statement that anyone who obtains a veterinarian’s certificate should enjoy the same benefit, citing Cucciola’s case as a precedent.

Authorities were called to the scene in the centre of Trelleborg, south-west of Stockholm, a police spokesperson said. Two people were apparently shot in the incident, which occurred near the town’s main shopping street, while two others received other injuries, he said.

The cause of the shooting is not yet known. Swedish news agency TT spoke to a witness who said that he heard six large bangs from his apartment and saw “several people” running around. “It was chaotic,” he said, adding that the police arrived soon after the shooting. An unspecified number of people have been apprehended for questioning, the police said, and a special division responsible for dealing with serious crime is now investigating.

Croc attack Australian police and wildlife officers have yet to find the crocodile responsible for the suspected attack on a 79-year-old grandmother in north Queensland.

Acting Inspector Ed Lukin confirmed yesterday the remains found at a Craiglie Creek in Port Douglas late on Thursday were human. Items belonging to Anne Cameron, including a walking stick bearing her name, were found some distance from the remains on Thursday. “We strongly suspect now that there has been involvement of a crocodile attack given the location of those items and the human remains located close to a watercourse,” Insp Lukin said. Police are awaiting results of forensic tests but Insp Lukin said it was “highly likely” the remains belonged to the missing woman because no other people were reported missing in the Port Douglas area.

The Mid Canterbury Hammers will be hoping leading try-scorer Maleli Sau can find the tryline at least once this weekend as they look for the full five points against King Country today.

Finals berth on knife-edge

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

With only one game remaining in the regular season, there is only one option for the Mid Canterbury Hammers when they take to the paddock against King Country in Taupo this evening.

Anything less than a bonus point victory, and the Hammers can kiss their Meads Cup aspirations goodbye, and despite needing Wanganui to win without a bonus point, the Hammers are focused on that semi-final berth.

“There is only one scenario and it is the only option we have got, and that is to get the five points,” co-coach Craig Dunlea said.

“It is a shame we aren’t in con-

“

We just have to stick to our processes and see what happens

trol of our own destiny but we just have to go out there and get the four tries we need.”

Due to the game kicking off at 5pm, the side will know whether they still have a shot at making the Meads Cup, or if they will be looking at home ground advantage in the Lochore Cup. Despite this, it will not be something Dunlea wants his

players to be worrying about.

“We have just got to worry about what we have to do. We won’t even bring that into it,” he said.

The Hammers will be without loose forward Seta Koroitamana after he picked up his third yellow card in as many games, but Dunlea is not worried about his absence.

“I don’t see any issues, we just

have to do it and stick to our processes and see what happens,” he said.

The starting 15 remains unchanged apart from Kurt Polson replacing Koroitamana on the openside, while the Hammers have elected to run with a full front row on the bench, with both props Tom Heywood and Domenic Vesesio making the trip north.

This leaves the green and gold without a flanker on the bench, but both locks Angus Lindsay and Eric Duff have spent plenty of time on the blindside in the past.

Isireli Masiwini is the only other change on the bench, replacing Jason Kjestrup.

Time to don th With Mid Canterbury’s premier cricket competition set to get under way today, Guardian sports reporter Jaime Pitt-MacKay caught up with those in charge of the teams to see what their aspirations and expectations are for this season.

The season kicks off today with the first two rounds of the T20 competition. Coldstream start off against Lauriston, while Technical will test themselves against Methven, with Allenton having the bye. Later in the afternoon they play their first match against Coldstream, while Lauriston will face Tech. The first round of the 45-over season kicks off on November 4, with the first round of the Pritchard Shield.

t has been hard to ignore the stacks of silverware Allenton collected last season, and you would be hard pressed to not call them favourites this time around, but captain Jeff Naish is not going overboard out it all.

“We will be hoping to repeat it, but we will have to wait and see how the first few weeks go,” he said.

The side picked up all but one of the pieces of silverware available last season, the list including the T20 Trophy, the Pritchard Shield, the Muirhead Rosebowl, Studholme Shield and the JR Mousey Fielding Trophy.

Naish himself picked up the ACCA Wicket Keeping Trophy, while bowler Lyall Jemmett collected the best bowling performance award.

Not only do Allenton have their sights set on the local competition, the team will also be competing in the national club championships.

“We will try to perform well in that as well,” he said.

“Our focus is probably more on the long form stuff.

“Everyone will get a bit of a go in the T20s but we will look to maintain a more competitive squad for the longer stuff,” Naish said.

While Methven proved a bogeyteam early on last season, Naish expects Lauriston to be one of the toughest sides to face.

“They have built pretty well and I am expecting some strong displays from Tech, so it should be a more even competition this year,” he said.

ith a good base of players, and plenty of depth, Lauriston seem set for a good season of cricket.

However, co-captain Bevan Richan is noting getting ahead of himself when it comes to the season ahead.

“Everyone is equal on the day and anybody can win on the day,” he said.

“Nobody likes losing.”

Like many of his fellow captains, Richan has his main sights set on the 45-over competitions, but is excited for the T20s.

“It is a great way to start the season.

“At the moment the pitches are probably still about a month away and nobody likes playing on a green, slow wicket, so this is really a great chance to get a go on the artificial wickets and everyone gets a go,” he said.

Having lost a few players and picked up a few, it will be the bowling of Matt Pawsey and Alex Hooper that could provide the difference.

“Matt Pawsey bowls extremely well and it looks like we will have Alex Hooper for most of the season, and he is a bit sharper than most and difficult to face,” he said.

When it comes to the pointy end of the season, Richan expects the side to be there or thereabouts.

“Every team is beatable and it just depends on who turns up on the day,” he said.

here Allenton dominated last season, Tech struggled, with a regular theme of lack of player numbers haunting the side throughout.

This season, numbers are looking good so far, but captain Callum Gallagher is not looking too hard into the crystal ball.

“At this stage the numbers are looking good, but it is always at the start everyone is keen, but the numbers we have are a good sign,” he said.

Like many of the other sides, Gallagher said they will be looking to use the T20 matches as a way to dust off a few cobwebs before it gets serious in the 45-over competitions.

“The T20 is our test to who is round and blow off a few cobwebs,” he said.

Having lost opening bowler Hayden Sinclair, Gallagher said he will be looking to Tom Small and Harry Jones to pick up the slack, while some of the younger recruits will be thrown in the deep end in regards to batting.

“Last year was a bit tough, we didn’t start with 11 players in a match before Christmas, so the main goal is just getting back to the Tech of old,” Gallagher said.

“The goal is commitment, the message will be if you are committing, you are committing, and hopefully that will spark the boys up.”

t is never good to start a season by saying “could do with a few more”, but that is what Coldstream face for this season.

“Things are not too bad, but we could do with a few more, but you always need a few more,” captain Richard Print said.

“We have still got our main five or six regulars, so that is good.”

When it came to listing flat-out goals, Print said they would just be taking it game by game, and looking forward to the 45-over competitions.

“We are going to focus more on the 45-over stuff and hopefully make some semi-finals,” he said.

“Allenton are going to kick some ass this year, but it does come down to the day and I can see Lauriston and Tech having good seasons.

“Everyone is stacked this season apart from us.”

Right – Coldstream captain Richard Print will have a battle on his hands this season, with things not looking quite as positive as it has for the rural club in seasons past.

Clashes between Methven and Allenton dominated the end of last season, and Methven captain Davey Maw is expecting his team to be not too far away this season.

M

uch the same as last season, that is the general message about Methven heading into this year’s cricket season.

A very familiar face in Mid Canterbury sport, Davey Maw has taken over as captain, and is expecting Methven to be putting out a similar squad to last season.

“It will be pretty similar, numbers are not too bad.

“There is a young fella who has come over from England so we will see how he goes and we have Mitch Sim and a few others back,” he said.

When it comes to goals for the upcoming season, they are pretty simple.

“We would like to get a few good wins under our belts early on,” he said.

“It would be nice to win the T20 but we will be targeting the 45-over stuff.”

When it comes to the side he sees as the team to beat, the answer was an easy one.

“Allenton will take a bit of beating.”

In brief Historic first for cricket Ireland will play Pakistan on home soil in May in their first-ever Test match. Ireland and Afghanistan were given test status in June and Ireland have now secured a deal for Pakistan to be their inaugural opponents. Agreement was reached during an International Cricket Council meeting in Auckland this week, with the date and venue for the match yet to be confirmed. “It’s fantastic news for Irish cricket. It’s going to be a bit special and it’s always great to be a part of history,” Ireland captain William Porterfield said.

Top tips from the Kings

Some of Ashburton’s future cricketing stars got a chance to rub shoulders with some of Canterbury’s best cricketers yesterday.

The Canterbury Kings’ Kyle Jamieson, Ed Nuttal and Andrew Ellis, as well as Canterbury Women’s player Natalie Cox were all present at the Ashburton Domain to show off their skills, and

spend a bit of time with the Mid Canterbury children aspiring to greater things on the cricket pitch.

“It is just a bit of fun and games and getting them together with

some of the Canterbury players,” Mid Canterbury director of cricket Garfield Charles said.

The junior cricket season kicks off the weekend after Labour Weekend on October 28.

Tonga suddenly a league world power

R

ugby league has its share of the headlines right now, and as is historically normal for that sport, it is for the wrong reasons.

With the World Cup about to kick off, all the news should be about the main contenders (well, all three of them), and how they’re shaping up for the big dance, and how some of the minnows might give a bit of lip early on.

Instead, it’s all about who is playing for who, a situation that on the face of it beggars belief.

Isn’t this the World Cup, the tournament in which you proudly represent your country, giving it all for the flag?

Apparently not.

In days gone by there’s been the odd turn-up for the books, with players like Hasim El-Masri, who played more than 300 games for the Doggies and scored a bucketload of points in the process (knocking Daryl Halligan off his

perch) and represented Australia in 2002, appearing on the run-on list for Lebanon.

The Island nations also had their share of handy players who couldn’t quite make it in the Kiwi or Kangaroo squads, so suddenly they became supreme patriots, honoured to wear the jersey of their country of birth, or at least their parents’.

But this year that’s all changed.

The Kiwis’ brightest star, Jason Taumalolo, with the whole publicity campaign (not to mention game-plan) based around him, abruptly decided that Tonga was the place to be representing this year, apparently completely blindsiding coach David Kidwell, and everyone else involved.

The actual reasons for this major tectonic shift in allegiances remain clear as mud, with all and sundry putting forward their valuable two cents worth.

But Taumalolo wasn’t a lone warrior here.

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

And the end result is that Tonga, previously a team with a bit of pace, the ability to knock your block off if you weren’t paying attention, but not such a great threat in the results stakes, has swiftly become a major player.

There’s the likes of Andrew Fifita, David Fusitu’a, Michael Jennings, Daniel Tupou, Konrad Hurrell, Tui Lolohea, Sika Manu and Manu Vatuvei unexpectedly requiring coaches from all the other nations to take notice, and put serious plans into place should they clash with the Tongans.

How could this possibly come about?

It’s actually all ok, under the current rules of the game.

Players are allowed to change the country they play for; the aim of it all is in fact to give all those little teams who never had a realistic chance of getting anywhere near the big guys some sense of still belonging in the tournament, with a few ex-internationals on their rosters to show flashes of what they used to be, therefore inspiring the youngsters in the team to great heights.

But Jason Taumalolo has changed the landscape forever with his sudden switch.

Two things; no doubt the day after the tournament ends the powers that be will be convening a meeting to change the rules.

Second, league aficionados around the world have suddenly perked up immensely, and the TV ratings for games involving the Tongans will be going through the roof.

And that’s gotta be a good thing.

Pace bowler Mitchell McClenaghan has given himself a two-out-of-10 chance of getting compensation from the postponed first season of the South African T20 Global League. The tournament with the big name has so far delivered a zero return for 144 players signed with the promise of employment for six weeks’ cricket in the republic. Delays in securing stable broadcast and sponsorship deals were listed as key reasons for the failure. “I’ll probably write it off and reset,” McClenaghan said yesterday. “I’m swinging the ball in the nets, so if [New Zealand coach] Mike Hesson is listening, I could be a test option.”

■ SQUASH

King through to semi-finals Kiwi squash star Joelle King has surged into the semi-finals of the US Open tournament in Philadelphia.

The Waikato-based world No.10 edged out English opponent Alison Waters 11-9 8-11 11-2 11-3 yesterday, proving far too strong in the latter stages.

It’s another string in King’s impressive US Open bow, having defeated Milou van der Heijden in the first round before knocking out French third seed Camille Sermie in five sets in Wednesday’s second-round action.

She had not made the US Open final four since 2013.

“Alison was always going to be tough, we were (ranked) four and five in the world for a while so we had a lot of battles,” the 29-yearold King said.

“I tried to fight a bit more in the third, I felt a bit tight in the second and kind of lost my way and fell away from the game I like to play.

“I just tried to come back and played my style, and it worked.”

King, seeded 11th, will now face No.2 seed Raneem El Welily of Egypt, who beat fifth-seeded compatriot Nouran Gohar 11-

Kiwis in Barbarians

Hartley looking at big bucks Kiwi Brendon Hartley’s potential Formula 1 drive could see him become one of New Zealand’s highest paid sportsmen.

Formula 1 salaries range from $100,000 to almost $60 million-plus per season depending on the driver and the situation.

Hartley has been tipped to take the seat at next week’s US Grand Prix in Austin with the Toro Rosso team but is also rumoured to be in the running for a fulltime drive with the Red Bull-owned team next year.

Ferrari’s Sebastien Vettel is the sport’s highest earner – he will collect in excess of £33m ($61m) this year in guaranteed money while he stands to make around half that again in performance bonuses (though a drivers’ title win is now looking extremely unlikely).

Lewis Hamilton also sits among the best paid, with the Mercedes driver on a basic yearly salary of £20.9m ($38m), although win bonuses could see him take home up to £28m ($40m).

But from those lofty figures there’s a significant drop down in salaries paid to other top 10 drivers, with Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas collecting $8.5 million (including bonuses), Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen on $7 million (without bonuses), and Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo – $6.5 million (plus bonuses).

Not everybody has it so good, however, once you get down towards the bottom end of the top 20 rankings, where the likes of Sauber’s Pascal Wehrlein and Force India’s Esteban Ocon scratch out a living on base contracts worth between $150,000 and $185,000.

Sure, they’re hardly driving on Struggle Street, but it’s a far cry from the riches that fans imagine all F1 drivers enjoy.

■ METHVEN

Breaking new ground

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

He might be chasing his first Methven Cup success, but Leo O’Reilly will have broken new ground before he even steps onto the Methven track tomorrow.

The Rakaia horseman will start five runners at the races for what he believes is a first for his stable in 30 years of training with Jerry Garcia, Bank Raider, Sounds Like A Gem, Make Us Grin and James Dean all wearing the familiar blue colours with the white and cerise chequered sash.

The latter will lead the stable charge when he steps out in the $35,000 Methven Cup – taking on a number of horses who are considered to be leading contenders for the New Zealand Trotting Cup next month at Addington.

And the enormity of the task isn’t something that’s lost on O’Reilly.

“It’s a good field, a very good field in fact,” he said.

“But it should suit my guy, he’s pretty tough and loves the grass so hopefully they roll along a bit for us and we can get the run we need.”

An impressive winner at Addington last Friday night in Premier grade company, James Dean has been a real riser in the Canterbury pacing ranks recently.

Since the start of July, he’s raced five times for four wins and a fourth with six overall wins and four placings coming from his 12 career starts.

He is the least experienced horse in the Group Three event, with the next lowest amount of starts belonging to Hidden De-

sire who has raced 17 times while at the other end of the scale, Boomer Bailey will race for the 98th time in his career.

O’Reilly has never been shy of having a good horse or two in his barn in his training career, but believes James Dean – who is owned by Dean Harrison and James Reardon, is right up there with the best he’s been associated with.

“He’s definitely up with the likes of Kajura (seven wins from 25 starts) and Savarma (six wins from nine starts) and even a

horse like Playing With Fire (four wins from 12 starts).”

“And he’s only four, so he should probably keep getting better.

“But it’s going to get hard to place him now because of the grade he’s in.”

The Methven Cup has been the long-term goal for the James Dean camp and O’Reilly is keen to have a crack at the race which, for him, is about as local as it can get.

His brothers, Gerard and Patrick have won the race previous-

ly, but Leo’s luck hasn’t been that great over the years.

“It’s a race we want to win, I think I’ve only ever lined up Willygo in it, but it would be great to win it this year.”

Tomorrow’s edition of the traditional New Zealand Trotting Cup lead-up race will be headed by former Auckland Cup winner, Dream About Me, from the Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen stable while other Cup contenders; Titan Banner, Seel The Deal and Classie Brigade are likely to draw plenty of support.

While he’s hopeful with James Dean, O’Reilly’s feeling much the same about the remainder of his big team.

“I know I’ve had four runners a couple of times, but I can’t ever remember having five,” he said.

“They’re all going good too.”

Maiden pacer, Make Us Grin will get her best chance early in the day after two strong placings in her most recent starts, while both Bank Raider and Sounds Like A Gem are also solid eachway prospects.

One of the stable favourites, Jerry Garcia, who won nine as a pacer but is now making a good fist of the trotting game will be looking to continue his good form too.

He’s run third in his three most recent races and is slowly catching on to the change in gaits.

“It’s given him a second chance being able to trot and he’s getting it all together.

“He just needs to be allowed to balance up early and then he’s right.

“He’ll go a good race again this week, I’m sure.”

More wins required for Ronald McDonald Two weeks into this month’s charity drive for Ronald McDonald House and there’s some ground to make up.

After Guardian editor Matt Markham pledged $100 to invest $1 each-way on each drive of Ricky May’s during the month of October, some more supporters joined the fray with an initial starting pot of $300.

That saw the investments lift to $3 each way for each drive and despite a few winners, the current tally sits on the wrong side of the ledger.

The balance after racing at Addington on Thursday night is $253.60 – but with a big day out on the grass at Methven tomorrow and a big book of drives for local driver May, there’s strong hope that the tally will increase and be on the right side of things

by Monday morning.

It’s not too late to pledge to the cause either.

For every $100 pledged, the each-way bet will increase and the remaining funds at the end of October will be donated to Ronald McDonald House.

In brief Aiming for clean sweep The quest for just the second Constellation Cup clean sweep and a more complete performance, will drive Australia in the final match of the series in Sydney today. The Diamonds took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the four-game series with a 55-43 win over New Zealand in Adelaide on Wednesday night. It was the seventh time in the eight years of the competition they have held the trophy, but only in 2014 were they able to sweep the Silver Ferns. “We may have won the Constellation Cup now, but we want to finish four-zip and that’s what we’re going to aim to do,” Diamonds’ wing attack Liz Watson said. - AAP

Team ‘does AshColl proud’

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

The Ashburton College Senior Netball side have put aside the fact did not initially qualify for the NZ National Secondary Schools’ Netball Tournament, and have finished in 12th place in the 16 team tournament.

The lost their final game to St Margaret’s 42-17, but despite the loss, coach Angela Mitchell was

still very pleased with how her team performed.

“We are really pleased with how the team did.

“The intensity probably caught up with us a bit today and we hit the wall but that just shows how much effort these girls have put in,” she said.

“It was a really competitive competition and I would say we have out-performed expecta-

tions and really done AshColl proud.”

After winning one match in their pool, the side progressed in third to the next stage of the competition, where they won their next two games on the bounce.

They started off with a comfortable eight goal victory against St Andrew’s College, winning 3325, with goal shoot Grace Wilson top scoring with 25 of the points.

The next day they snuck by Palmerston North Girls’ High School 29-27, before Sacred Heart College proved too tough a test in the third game, winning 40-25.

“They are a great team.

“They fought hard and really showed the strength of the relationships they have built and played some really nice netball,” Mitchell said.

Questions raised over Ferns’ performance

By Dana Johannsen In the space of 10 days, the Silver Ferns’ season that had shown surprising early promise has unravelled.

The high of the Ferns’ Quad Series win over Australia – not just any win, a 10-goal drubbing at that – sparked unprecedented levels of optimism in the New Zealand camp heading into this month’s Constellation Cup. Katrina Grant’s side appeared to have their biggest opportunity in several years to wrestle the coveted trans-Tasman netball prize away from the Diamonds.

The Australian side was under huge pressure heading to the four-test series, with their performances over the Quad Series forcing a re-think of selections and several star players put on notice.

Less than a fortnight on the

Socceroos midfielder Tom Rogic may be among five players missing for Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers when the Scottish champions host Dundee. Rogic, who took part in both legs of Australia’s World Cup play-off win over Syria, does not return from international duty until today. “We are still waiting on Tom Rogic, he has a way to go,” Rodgers said. Midfielders Stuart Armstrong and Scott Brown missed Scotland’s World Cup qualifying games against Slovakia and Slovenia with respective calf and hamstring injuries while Bosnia defender Jozo Simunovic sat out two matches, reportedly due to a hamstring tear.

- PA

tough, uncomfortable questions are now being asked of the Silver Ferns’ programme with the New Zealand side on the brink of their most disastrous series in recent times.

A loss in Sydney today would consign the Ferns to just their second whitewash defeat since the Constellation Cup was introduced in 2010.

It would also mean if you discount their January three-test series against Wales, the New Zealand side will finish the international season with a negative win-loss record, having also dropped two games against England last month.

Today is the Ferns’ final opportunity to restore some respectability to their season and, more importantly, confidence in the young New Zealand side as next year’s Commonwealth

Games loom on the horizon.

Sitting clear at the top of the list of work-ons for coach Janine Southby will be her side’s attacking efforts.

Rather than building understanding and confidence across the series, the links in the New Zealand attack only appear to have weakened as the series has progressed, culminating in Wednesday night’s hapless display in Adelaide.

The Ferns made errors scarcely seen at this level, with breaking, held ball, footwork, and over a third calls featuring among the 42 turnovers committed during the match.

The biggest problem remains their passing placement.

The number of soft passes the Australian defenders were able to pick off should be cause for alarm for Southby and co, with

players not doing the basics like taking their feet to the ball, and doing the pre-movement to get away from their player.

It isn’t just the young players who are guilty of making these mistakes.

Maria Tutaia – the Ferns’ most seasoned performer – was one of the chief offenders, committing a game-high seven turnovers, while Shannon Francois, another in the New Zealand leadership group, was also expensive.

The Ferns dreadful attacking performance shrouded what was the New Zealand side’s best defensive effort of the series as they managed to restrict Australia to just 55 goals, despite committing more than 40 turnovers.

They must bring that same defensive intensity if they are going to have any chance of avoiding a series whitewash.

New Zealand has failed to survive the group stage of the Under-17 World Cup in India, bowing out with a 3-1 loss to Mali. The Kiwis needed a win to progress through the competition after drawing 1-1 with Turkey and losing 4-2 to Paraguay in their two other matches. Yet despite the return of captain Max Mata from suspension, the New Zealand side again found themselves behind early, with Mali’s Salam Jiddou scoring a long-range stunner in the 18th minute.

- NZME

Toughness questioned Western Sydney Wanderers caretaker coach Hayden Foxe has questioned the physical resolve of the Central Coast Mariners on the eve of their A-League clash at Spotless Stadium. The Mariners were thumped 5-1 by visitors Newcastle Jets in their opening round match last weekend. Foxe was complimentary about the Mariners’ style and the job coach Paul Okon was doing, but added some spice to Saturday’s game by casting doubt on their ability to handle the more physical elements of their opposition.

Tickets in demand Football fans from around the world have applied for almost 3.5 million tickets for the 2018 World Cup in Russia during the first part of the opening sales phase. The ruling body FIFA said yesterday that around 70 per cent of the applications came from the host nation, while most foreign requests came from countries including Germany, Brazil and Argentina but also from the US and China whose teams failed to qualify. Almost 1.5 million of the requests came in the final 48 hours after several teams including Argentina, Poland, Egypt and Colombia qualified.

You did an amazing job and it was obvious that you had put a lot of thought into what David would have liked with the plants etc as decoration.

Bruce Allan thank you so much for organising and managing the sound system.

Thank you to the Ashburton District Council Open Spaces Team for the guard of honour, it meant so much to us that you all cared about David and we know he would have felt very honoured by your presence at his funeral.

Thank you to those people who gave heartfelt tributes at David’s service and on social media. Your words have been a comfort to us. Thank you to the Upper Rangitata Gorge and Peel Forest communities for providing an amazing afternoon tea and for managing the kitchen.

Your generosity was overwhelming. Also thank you to those people who tidied the hall afterwards. We would like to thank the Aclands of Mt Peel Station for allowing David to be laid to rest surrounded by the plants, trees, mountains and river he loved so much. Lastly thank you to Jane Gibson and the team at Geraldine Funeral Services. Your professionalism, empathy and support has been outstanding. Jane you are a treasure! The care you have shown our family has been so appreciated. It made this sad final journey with David all that much easier to bear. We have just been so fortunate to have such wonderful support from everyone. Please accept this notice as a personal acknowledgement of our appreciation.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ll think logically and ask, “What am I trying to accomplish here?” but don’t get too intellectual on it. Sometimes you just have to feel it and make your move.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re not lazy about work, and neither will you be lazy in matters of love or friendship. You’ll go even when you feel like stopping in order to please or help another.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Instead of worrying about how your needs will get met, you focus your attention on serving the people you care about. Service has a way of turning up your personal power – and your mood.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): As you think of the one that got away, know that and this person’s unique and appealing qualities are mythically and enormously exaggerated through memory. Also know that someone thinks of you in this way.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Ideally you would devote yourself to an important cause, although that does get complicated, and you may have trouble finding your “in”. There’s more potential in that little cause grabbing at your attention.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Not everything requires a thought process to move forward. When a thing is ready to take off, it will. Growth isn’t always a plan. It’s often just what happens in a conducive environment.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You can tell when a person is listening but not understanding, or looking at you but not listening. You won’t take it personally. You’ll use it to experiment to find more effective communication.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It seems like good ideas are being snatched up all around you. Actually, they were snatched up long ago, and now they’re getting reworked. There’s more where that came from. Seek antiquated inspiration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): If you focus on what’s wrong, people will tune out. If you dance around the subject, your message won’t land.

So be clear and direct about what you want.

Don’t forget the sugarcoating, though!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s a message in joy and a message in pain. Both will point you in the direction of more happiness and enjoyment today, so be quick to pick up on the hints.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your focus will be more inward this weekend and that will serve you better than distractions that stop you examining your own mind. Building a rich inner life will lead to a rich exterior life.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): This is a day for skipping steps because you need to get quickly to the heart of the matter. For instance, you may assume a warm familiarity with someone you hardly know in order to become fast friends.
