Concert a scary task for students Allenton School students Gabbie and Bailey perform April Sun in Cuba in the Allenton School Hall yesterday as part of the Middle School Singers Melody Makers Academy of Music annual concert.

■ ASHBURTON YOUTH HEALTH TRUST

■ HOSPICE MID CANTERBURY

New hands on helm

Reiki therapy proving popular

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton Youth Health Trust (AYHT) elected a new chairwoman at their AGM on Wednesday.

Madie Venmore-Kerr has stepped down at the age of 19 from her role as chairwoman of the trust and was replaced by Judith Lilley who had been part of the trust over the past year.

Venmore-Kerr had led AYHT for the past two years and had focused on helping Ashburton youth when she joined seven years ago.

She said she looked forward to being part of AYHT and had learned a lot being chairwoman.

“It’s been really cool.

“I’ve learned a lot about myself as a leader.”

As chairwoman, Venmore-Kerr attended a governance seminar in Auckland earlier this year and said it was a good and refreshing experience but unusual as the rest of the people who attended the seminar were 40 years or older.

“It was good. In the end they start-

Judith Lilley ed to come to me to talk about new ideas.”

In the HYPE Youth Health Centre Annual Report 2015/16 chairwoman’s report Venmore-Kerr said the HYPE Youth Health Centre joining with the YMCA and BASE Youth Centre was exciting and important for the youth of Ashburton District as it allowed them to go to one place

for any help they needed.

“The future for youth services in Ashburton is looking up and I am extremely hopeful that the services will continue to be used to the same extent, if not more, in the future.”

Another great event in the year was the visit from Prime Minister John Key as visits from “someone so esteemed” helped endorse what the youth services provide and removed the stigma around youth.

HYPE Youth Health Centre coordinator and AYHT co-ordinator Janet Hadley said the year had been a successful one, particularly for HYPE who had reached 532 youth through HYPE, 500 through Outreach and more than 400 through networking.

The AYHT had a net surplus of $7500 which was down by $2000 compared to last year.

However, AYHT had a net increase of cashflow of $22,600 and ended the financial year with a cash balance of just under $40,000 – more than double that of the previous year.

Reiki is proving popular with people seeking the services of Hospice Mid Canterbury.

Hospice Mid Canterbury Trustee Jane Wright said there had been lots of positive feedback about the complementary therapy which is reported to assist with stress, pain and anxiety, and improve sleep and energy.

Hospice Mid Canterbury was set up a year ago to help people with end-of-life care, by providing services with emotional, mental and spiritual elements.

As well as reiki, it provides a massage service and a biographer, for people who want to have their life story recorded.

Wright, guest speaker at an ANZ function in Ashburton this week, said trained volunteers helped hospice staff.

“Our clients have loved recording their stories and the families have a lasting memento.”

She said the group’s co-ordinator Alison McGregor was based at Community House but ideally Hospice Mid Canterbury needed its own base where it could run its various programmes, including a day stay programme offering activities and companionship.

“Our focus is on living rather than dying.”

Hospice Mid Canterbury does not receive Government funding and the money it needs is fundraised locally.

■ WAKANUI HALL

Heart help on hand for Wakanui

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Senior students at Wakanui School have come up with a life-saving idea for their community.

As part of a learning unit about keeping safe and healthy, the students decided to canvass the local community for support for an automated external defibrillator (AED), which helps restore normal heart rhythms in the event of a heart attack.

AEDs are commonly found in community buildings and large stores, but the closest one to Wakanui is at least 10km away.

St John says using an AED within 3 to 5 minutes of a collapse can increase the chance of surviving a heart attack by up to 40 per cent.

Wakanui principal Hilary Boyce said the Year 7 and 8 students discussed the range of services and facilities in the community that helped to keep them healthy, and found the nearest AED was in Ashburton.

“What would happen if someone here had a heart attack,

how long would it take an ambulance to get here – if one was available?”

An AED can cost up to $3000, so the students decided to ask the community how they felt about fundraising to buy one.

To their surprise over the recent school holidays, community members fronted with the money.

Boyce said the AED would be housed in a protective cupboard on the outside of the Wakanui hall so it was accessible to all.

Student Sarah Leadley, who led the project, said she was surprised by the fast response and she would make sure she was among senior students who learned how to use the defibrillator.

Boyce said the Wakanui area included Hakatere and a wide farming base, so the AED would be available to many people if needed.

“This is a really neat example of how a school and community can work together for something really needed.”

■ ZONTA CLUB QUIZCO

Funds to go towards scholarships Supporting educational and community scholarships for local women will be the focus for the Zonta Club of Ashburton when it holds a fundraising quizco evening next month.

To be held at the Ashburton Club and MSA on November 18, the proceeds from the evening will go towards annual scholarships awarded by Ashburton Zonta to Mid Canterbury women.

A career development scholarship is open to women taking up or returning to tertiary education following leave from the workforce.

The second is a community

service scholarship open to young women attending either Ashburton College or Mount Hutt College, acknowledging outstanding service to their local community.

With these scholarships local women have the potential to further careers, become leaders and contribute in the Mid Canterbury community and further afield.

Teams of up to six people can enter for $40 per team, which includes supper and a fun night of entertainment.

Zonta has been fortunate to have secured great prizes sponsored by local businesses for the leading three quiz teams and a

wide array of raffle prizes.

The night will include several auctions, including artworks from well-known local artists, locally crafted jewellery and holiday accommodation.

Doors will open at 7pm and the evening gets under way at 7.30pm with nationally famous sports and events commentator – Ashburton’s own Craig (Wiggy) Wiggins taking the reins as quizmaster, auctioneer and master of ceremonies to keep the evening “alive and kicking”.

Unique flavours make for NZ’s top sausage Methven boutique butchery Drycreekmeats has won a silver medal in the Great New Zealand Sausage Competition.

Winners in the annual contest were announced in Auckland on Thursday night, with the top award going to chicken, lime and lemongrass sausages made by the Mangawhai Meat Shop in Northland.

Up to 500 sausages from all around the country were entered for consideration in this year’s competition.

Drycreekmeats in Methven is owned by Mikyla Grant, her partner Jared McKerrow and

Murray and Margaret McLeod.

It sells handcrafted sausages and sustainably farmed meat online.

The butchery, which also operates a home-kill business, entered several sausages into the competition, with their freefarmed pork and bacon taking a silver medal in the traditional meats category.

The business uses only 100 per cent Mid Canterbury grown meat and local suppliers for all its ingredients; Grant said traceability was important to them and their customers all around the country.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

In brief

Long serving teachers leaving

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College will lose longserving teachers Peter Fougere and Mary Buckland at the end of the school year.

Both are retiring after many years of service at the college.

Acting principal Andrea Pearce said they would be a huge loss and farewelled by students at the school’s end of year prizegivings and by faculty at the end of year staff celebrations.

Their jobs have been advertised and Pearce said there was a good field of applicants for both.

The college is leading up to external NCEA examinations with students in Years 11, 12 and 13 hoping to gain credits towards their respective qualifications.

Level 1 English kicks off the main exam schedule on November 10.

Pearce said students were getting plenty of advice for coping with exam pressure through forums, transition and family forms. With the increase in internal assessments, fewer students were taking external exams each year.

Parents and caregivers have

been keeping an eye on their students’ performance for the year through the school’s new parent portal – parents can now access their child’s attendance record online, and see how many credits have been achieved for the year.

She said the school was still analysing data on student behaviour following a move at the start of September to shorten lunchtime. The midday break was cut to 45 minutes in an effort to stop fights that had been breaking out at the end of the hour.

“Certainly anecdotally the issues at lunchtime have been reduced and there has been a positive feel about the length of lunchtime from most staff and students.”

Year 13s will have their final day at school on November 7, with their prizegiving that night at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Year 12s’ last day is November 8, with their prizegiving the following night at the event centre; Year 11s finish on November 8, with their prizegiving at school that afternoon.

The Ashburton A&P Showgrounds will host more than 250 dogs and 140 dog owners for the Canterbury Dogs Training Club’s Championship Agility Event today and tomorrow in preparation for the Labour weekend New Zealand Dog Agility Championship in Rakaia.

Speedster nabbed

Taking the Troy story to the big stage

A 20-year-old who allegedly led police on an almost 800km chase spanning much of the South Island – often at dangerous high speeds – has been nabbed.

Like a scene from the iconic Kiwi movie Goodbye Pork Pie the alleged offender managed to evade authorities from Nelson to Dunedin. Police said the pursuit started in Stoke, near Nelson, at about 1pm. The alleged evader failed to stop for officers in Nelson and Christchurch. He also sped off when police tried to stop him in Palmerston and then Dunedin before he abandoned the car. He was later arrested in Waikouaiti at 5pm. The man has been arrested and charged with driving while disqualified and for failing to stop for police. Police said he will appear in the Dunedin District Court today.

Wakanui School is taking a famous tale about the Greeks and the Trojans to the big stage.

Seventy senior students at the school have been rehearsing sword battles and war scenes in preparation for the show, which will be held on Tuesday night in the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Principal Hilary Boyce said the students had devoted plenty of energy to the Troy Story production and their efforts deserved to be seen on the big stage.

Admission to the show is free and Boyce said the event was open to Wakanui School friends and family and the wider Mid Canterbury community.

The school has hired lighting and sound experts and the students will have just one day to rehearse in the venue before the show goes ahead.

The show features costumes that the children and their parents have made themselves. A huge cardboard Trojan horse is also one of the props and students were putting the finishing touches to that on Thursday.

Students have been learning about Greek mythology as they

Achilles, who eventually died from an arrow to the heel, was a

hero of the battle.

The topic followed from a learning unit about the Olympics and myths and legends.

Boyce said the students had been activated by the story and loved the action scenes. “There is a fair amount of death and destruction, people die and there are weapons like swords and

bows and arrows.”

Trena Watt is directing the show, with help from Cherie Livingstone.

Boyce said the students were excited about the show and a bit nervous.

“It makes sense to celebrate their hard work in the event centre.”

A person is in critical condition and two others are also in hospital after a mass brawl involving up to 30 young people in Otahuhu on Thursday night. Police said weapons were used in the fight, which broke out on Mangere Road, about 10.20pm on Thursday.

Three people were admitted to Middlemore Hospital. One remains in critical condition and has been transferred to Auckland Hospital.

Police are investigating the brawl and are appealing for information.

Getting to know your mayor A

us to continue to improve our relationship with Arowhenua Runanga.

s mayor elect Donna Favel wraps up her first week, she’s taken time out of her schedule to answer questions put to her by reporter Sue Newman that could help residents have a clearer picture of her leadership style.

Q. Where do you stand when it comes to the possible amalgamation of the Ashburton District with a neighbouring council?

A. It isn’t something I would desire in this term of council.

Q. Where has your interest in local body politics come from; was standing for council six years ago a long held ambition?

A. Standing for council wasn’t a long held ambition but the more I have been involved in local body politics, the more fascinated I have become. Prior to standing for council six years ago, my husband and I had built a new cinema in Ashburton and as part of the process I came to realise there was much more to councils than rates and roads.

Q. Will you be looking to revisit or overturn any decisions made by the previous council?

A. That’s not something a mayor can do single-handedly. There are very strict protocols, set by legislation that the new council would have to consider, should this ever arise.

Q. What steps would you like to see taken to ensure the district continues to grow and thrive economically?

A. The district’s Economic Development Strategy is currently being developed and it will have a clear and implementable action plan. The council will be looking at what strategic partnerships are needed to help promote growth in the district’s GDP and employment opportunities.

Q. How will being the district’s mayor change your life?

A. That’s somewhat unknown right now.

I do know that being a councillor, and now mayor, means that I am forever learning new things about our district and the enterprising things that people are doing here. I am also looking forward to getting to know our new group of councillors and hearing the new perspectives they will bring to the council table.

Q. How available do you plan to be to the public?

A. I will be available as much as possible but I’m quickly discovering that there are very high demands on the role of mayor.

Right now, I’m struggling to respond to the many congratulations notes that I have received!

Q. You will now become very public property, how will you handle this?

A. Well, I hope. I am very much a people person. I love getting to know people and learning about issues that are important to them – something that I’m sure will come in handy as mayor.

Q. Do you believe our councillor numbers should be reduced?

A. I don’t have an opinion either way on that. Councillor numbers will be reviewed again in 2018 during the representation review. It will be then be up to the community to decide.

Q. How do you walk the line between

Ashburton’s new mayor Donna Favel, settling into her new role and her new office.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 111016-TM-0018 management and governance?

A. As a mayor, I believe that you need to be well aware of the boundaries between management and governance, so that elected members focus on more strategic parts of council business and allow council staff to do their work at an operational level. It’s really important in my new role to assist new councillors to understand this separation. I see elected members as walking alongside council management to implement the best outcomes for the district.

Q. As an urban councillor and now as mayor, do you believe you have a good understanding of wider rural issues?

A. I have made it my business to develop a good understanding of rural issues but I am one generation removed from a farming

background. I am pleased that others on the council have more ongoing involvement in rural issues and I will regularly be seeking advice from them. That’s why it’s important to have a good balance of people on the council so that we can build on each other’s strengths.

Q. Ashburton’s mayors have generally been significant players in regional and national organisations, do you see yourself stepping onto these platforms?

A. Initially, my focus will be very local but as time goes by I will certainly want to work for Ashburton at a regional and national level. It is important that we are represented amongst other decision makers and staying up to speed with changes and innovations that may assist Ashburton residents. I also think it’s very important for

Q. Assuming there is inevitably conflict around a council table, how will you deal with this?

A. I have been managing teams of people for nearly three decades. Team dynamics and maximising other people’s strengths are issues that I’m very familiar with. I’ll always look for a good resolution to an argument and take into account other people’s views. It’s all part of working collaboratively. Local Government New Zealand also has good processes for dealing with conflict within councils.

Q. Do you believe our rate rises are too steep and if so, how would you see these being reined in?

A. Rates are a discussion for the full council. They are reviewed as part of the annual planning and long-term planning processes and that will be the same this term.

Sam’s true bravery A

Methven Young Farmer is bravely speaking out about his near fatal battle with depression to address the stigma he says still surrounds mental illness in rural New Zealand.

Once a confident young man, 26-year-old Sam Robinson began to experience depression in his final year at Mount Hutt College in 2008.

The then head boy looked to have it all on the outside – he was bright and a school leader, but incrementally over that final year the pressure of expectations he put on himself took its toll.

Feeling worthless under the weight of stress he was carrying, he was also diagnosed with hyperhidrosis – an illness that can be caused by stress or anxiety and leads to excessive sweating.

Embarrassed by the illness, he began to isolate himself and drank heavily if he had to socialise.

“For a long time I tried to drink away the issue in order to try and forget that I was struggling.

“All this led to was drinking myself into an absolute state in full public view. Then I wouldn’t be able to control my head at all which would lead to me doing

Methven Young Farmers member Sam Robinson speaks to Nadine Porter about his battle with depression to help others.

Sam Robinson something stupid and expressing that through aggression.

“I would then punch someone or something for no reason or try to get myself into a fight in order to get someone to hit me back, so hopefully I would feel pain.”

Sam says that pain felt like a form of release, which meant he

didn’t have to hurt himself.

Not wanting to admit that he was suffering because he felt so ashamed, Sam went to Otago University to study law and commerce, but by the year’s end he felt worse than ever and dropped out to come home to the family farm.

More than anything he felt weak for not being able to overcome the demons inside him as he had always been the one to help others out.

He decided to go to Lincoln University, but pulled out after one semester and went back home to the farm. Years of struggle followed, including suicide attempts, but this year Sam decided to get help – much to the relief of his family.

Now with the help of his doctor and with counselling support Sam has started back at Lincoln and hopes to complete a Global Business and Supply Chain Degree by the end of next year.

Recently Sam spoke out on Facebook and shared what he had

been going through. It was gutsy and it elicited huge support from his home community.

“I wanted to change the way people view and think about depression. It’s important not to feel guilty or weak about having depression because after all it’s an illness. You don’t choose to get it so you shouldn’t feel ashamed about seeking help for it or talking about it.”

Now Sam wants to encourage people to ask their mates how they are instead of sitting back.

“Just do something for the person you think might be suffering. It doesn’t have to be much.

It could be as simple as kicking a ball around.”

These days Sam knows his triggers and acts quickly when he thinks he might be going downhill.

Recently that meant quitting as vice-chairman of his Methven Young Farmers Club, although he still loves attending club activities and believes the organisation offers an important social network

for young people to share their feelings.

He exercises regularly, doesn’t drink alcohol and has a healthy diet.

“That all helps.”

NZ Young Farmers CEO Terry Copeland said unfortunately there were many cases like Sam’s and he urged young people to take note if a friend’s behaviour changes.

“Just like Sam said, it’s important to be brutally frank and ask about a friend’s wellbeing.”

Mr Copeland said the organisation was becoming a Good Yarn Workshop facilitator in an effort to help those that may be suffering undiagnosed depression.

“As an organisation representing young people, we have a duty of care to look out for mental wellbeing.”

■ MUDDY GOOD RUN

Everyone keen to get down, dirty

BY NOAH GRAHAM

NOAH.G@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Splashing through mud is always a good idea, but even better when there is a reason for it.

Around 800 people will compete in this year’s Muddy Good Run at the Rakaia Domain on Sunday and make their way over, under and through the myriad of obstacles on the mud-splattered course.

Muddy Good Run race director John Moore said the participants can expect a variety of challenges which ranged from sliding under trucks and barbed wire to climbing up and over hills and even a camouflage net, all whilst covered in mud.

He said the adult competitors were signed up into two groups, teams and individuals, who would complete the 5km lap once or, for the fitter people, finish the lap twice for a total of 10km which would start around 11am.

Four hundred children were also signed up for the

children’s race which would start at 9.30am and range from 1.2km to 2km depending on their age, he said.

Moore said there were three age groups for the children with seven and eight-yearolds in one, nine and 10-yearolds in another and 11, 12 and 13-year-olds in the last.

He said it was the fourth time Rakaia had held the race and people “love it”.

“That’s the cool thing about it … people have a smile from ear to ear.”

Moore said he had been setting up the course over the past few days and had used diggers to create the trenches and mud pools.

He had also loaded 120 small bales for the children to climb over on their course along with fences and tyres, he said.

Moore said if people still wanted to enter they could, but it would cost an extra $10 for late register.

Adults and children need their race packs to participate.

Alpine Fault ‘due to strike soon’

A stunning display of stars and constellations light up the night sky above Tekapo Springs.

PHOTO ASTROPHOTOGRAPHER MARK GEE

■ TEKAPO NIGHT SKY

Star show another attraction Visitors to the Alpine village Tekapo, will soon have another opportunity to view the Mackenzie Country’s night skies.

The multi-award-winning South Island tourism attraction Tekapo Springs is starting a new venture Tekapo Star Gazing.

Tekapo sits within the world’s largest international dark sky reserve (4144sq km), only the fourth such reserve in the world.

And now Tekapo Springs owner Karl Burtscher has added a unique offering to the established facilities.

Star gazing tours with a difference will see guests able to navigate the Southern night sky’s bright stars and constellations

from the warmth and comfort of the hot pools.

They can enjoy the after-hours soak (from 9.30pm onwards), watching the moon and stars above as nature paints her everchanging colours.

Tekapo Star Gazing will be an audio–visual experience, with relaxing star-inspired astro music playing in the background as qualified Star Guides point out the brightest features.

Guests can get closer to the stars and planets by looking through two new 9.25 aperture Celestron telescopes sitting on the patio outside the complex’s café and bar.

Tours are scheduled to start

early 2017. They will be 1.25 to 1.5 hours long and will run throughout the year.

Mr Burtscher said Tekapo Springs had been considering adding the night sky products for the past two or three years.

Just under a year ago, Tekapo Springs officially launched three new pools at the complex, bringing the total number of pools to six.

“We just keep adding more and more reasons to visit Tekapo Springs including our winter ice skating rink, winter snow tubing and a huge inflatable summer waterslide,” Burtscher said.

“Adding Tekapo Star Gazing will continue to broaden what

we offer, and extend the range of things to do in Tekapo at night.

Many Asian visitors in particular are entranced by our night skies because they can’t see the stars at home due to excessive light pollution.

“Anecdotally we also see and hear increasing numbers of people asking for night options, and our social media sites frequently feature people asking if they can soak in the pools at night, enjoying the star show on offer.”

With about 150,000 people a year visiting the area’s Mt John University Observatory, it was clear there was a huge and growing demand for the night sky experience, he said.

The catastrophic threat the South Island’s Alpine Fault poses to New Zealand was front and centre at a Civil Defence conference in Queenstown yesterday.

Conference delegates were updated on what’s called Project AF8 – a joint effort to develop a co-ordinated response in the event of a potentially devastating rupture on the fault, running up the spine of the South Island.

Research over the past four decades has added considerably to the understanding of its rupture history and the likely impacts from its next big earthquake, which could change the face of the country and lives within it forever.

On average, earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 or larger strike along the Alpine Fault every 300 years – a relatively frequent rate in geological terms – and scientists say it’s highly likely the next big quake will happen in the lifetime of today’s population.

It last ruptured 299 years ago – producing a massive earthquake of about magnitude 8.0 – and has an average 30 per cent probability of rupturing in the next 50 years.

GNS Science maintains the rupture would produce one of the biggest earthquakes since European settlement of New Zealand and have a “major impact” on the lives of people across the country.

At the South Island Civil Defence Emergency Management Conference, staged this week, Dr Caroline Orchiston of Otago University’s Centre for Sustainability gave a presentation on some of the research around Project AF8 she was leading.

Once complete, the research would inform a series of workshops with the South Island’s six Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) groups to help develop a plan.

It was the first time a collective South Island-wide response plan had been attempted.

“We are still talking about a South Island-wide impact that will be felt across all of those different CDEM regions – that’s why we need to do this work so we can get all of the plans in place.

“LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT LIVING AND HERE YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD OUTSIDE OUR SECURE ENVIRONMENT”.

Some people believe that to live in a Lifestyle Resort such as ours means losing their independence. This is simply not correct. In our resort you will have your own space without any hassles. You are able to furnish your villa with your own furniture and personal items and decide how you wish to spend your days and with whom. The security of your villa is controlled by you and you should feel at home and absolutely secure in your environment.

Some people are concerned that when moving away from their family it means that no one will be around to help when needed. At our Resort we have built in security measures designed to reduce the worry that often comes from living along. Features are in place to respond quickly in the event that you need someone to help you.

Some people also believe that moving to a place of independent living means saying goodbye to hobbies such as gardening. Our residents will tell you that they are more active now than when they were living alone. Residents are still able to look after their own gardens if they so desire and in addition to this there are numerous other activities that they can pursue.

It is important to note that studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier. Activity programmes give all residents options and choices tailored to their specific needs, desires and lifestyles. They can also reduce the isolation felt when living alone.

The life and times of When the white, twostorey house in Mona Square changed its life from family home to restaurant and bar, it became Ashburton’s social hot spot for many years. In its final years it stood empty and looking for a new life. That new life is now a date with the demolition crews. Reporter Sue Newman takes a look at the building’s past and talks to its owners about the site’s future.

I

t’s been a family home, a wildly successful restaurant, a quiet office space and shortly the Billy Thomas-designed house in Mona Square will become a pile of rubble.

But before that happens, people who have spent time in the building will have an opportunity to buy a piece of the past when its owners hold a three-hour predemolition sale.

Alister Lilley and Graeme Church have tried three times to find a buyer who would move the house off-site and three times they’ve failed.

Relocation was just too hard, Alister said.

“Basically the building is stuffed. Its foundations have slumped. We’ve tried very hard to have it moved, but at the end of the day, it was just too hard. You just can’t shift it.”

Rather than call in the demolition crews, they’ve decided to open the doors and sell off fixtures, fittings, doors, windows, carpets, panelling, fire surrounds and even weatherboards.

If anyone wants anything that can be un-nailed, unhinged, cut out, then for a fair price, it’s theirs he said.

Anything that’s remotely moveable – even if it is nailed down – has been priced and this morning from 10am, the doors to the

elderly house will be thrown open to the public for a final time.

“It’s a case of first in buys it, no holds, pay cash and it’s yours,” Alister said Buyers will have one week to remove or have a tradesman remove their purchase before the demo crews arrive.

For anyone extending or renovating a character home the house is a treasure trove – stained glass windows in a variety of sizes and shapes, dozens of solid wooden doors, hundreds of metres of panelling, deep skirting boards, plate rails, a wooden staircase and even the rough sawn weatherboards that are the exterior cladding.

The prices will be good Alister said; the objective is to sell anything that’s remotely salvageable.

“And that includes the gates, the picket fence and even the plants in the garden.”

Their business Electraserve needs the land for expansion but the old house just doesn’t meet modern business requirements, he said.

“This place has meant a lot to a lot of people over the years so we decided if we couldn’t shift it we’d give people an opportunity to have a piece of it.

“If these walls had ears ...”

The 9 Mona Square square selloff will run from 10am until 1pm today.

The life and times of 9 Mona Square The house was designed by well-known local architect Billy Thomas who started his career as a joiner at Tuckers and then decided to study architecture through an American correspondence course.

He qualified in the late 1920s and began designing houses, many of which are still standing around the Ashburton District.

Thomas died in 1967 but his distinctive style of architecture lives on in Ashburton.

Owners of the Mona Square building have included Mr Bird, a teacher at Ashburton Technical College, timber miller and tiger moth enthusiast Herb Dobson, the McEllhinney family and the Gluyas family. It was then rented before being sold to Alister Lobb who owned Moore Street Autos.

For about the past eight years it has been owned by Graeme and Lyn Church and Alister and Margaret Lilley.

Chandler House The building’s new life then began as a restaurant in the early 1980s. Chandler House was established by Marion and John Gardiner, later sold to Heather

Lochhead and then to Trevor Dickson and Helen McCoombe.

During its years as Chandler House and then Jesters and finally Mona Lisas, the old house rocked to music, laughter and thousands of good times.

The bar and restaurant was Ashburton’s first independently owned hospitality outlet during the years that the Ashburton Trust held its monopoly on liquor sales in the district.

It broke new ground in offering the community an alternative to trust-owned businesses for their socialising. And the community responded.

Midweek the restaurant was always busy with quiet diners, but come Friday and Saturday nights, the mood changed and it rocked on its elderly foundations.

Many a relationship was born, or died within its walls. And for many, meals in its dining room would be their first experience of “fine dining”.

The district’s hospitality scene changed as the trust lost its trading monopoly and more restaurants and bars opened for business. After a span that stretched about 30 years, the Mona Square night spot closed its doors.

The building was leased to a string of organisations as office space, but in recent months it has been empty and its owners began

looking at options for clearing the site. Removal wasn’t an option and that left only demolition.

The land where a family home once stood will become part of the growing Electraserve Complex, initially as parking space but eventually it will be part of the business’ expansion.

■ CRICKET

Stags up for title defence

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

S

enior cricket returns to Mid Canterbury pitches today as the Tech Stags begin the defence of their T20 title against Coldstream at noon, before locking horns with the Lauriston men at 3pm.

The opposite midday fixture will pit Lauriston against Methven while last year’s beaten finalists Allenton have the bye.

At 3pm Allenton will be in action against Coldstream and the Methven side have the bye.

It was a memorable season for Tech last year.

The Stags downed Allenton to claim T20 honours in an exciting final.

Allenton were all out for 136 in the 18th over of the match before Tech chased down the total with an over to spare for the loss of six wickets.

Tech went on to claim the Pritchard Shield and Studholme Shield, while Lauriston and Coldstream shared the Muirhead Rosebowl following a final draw.

Test spots wide open Less than half of the Australian test team have done enough to guarantee their spots for the first match of the home summer against South Africa next month, according to former captain Mark Taylor. Australia were embarrassed in a 3-0 Test series defeat to Sri Lanka in August when batting frailties to spin bowling were starkly exposed, and while pitch conditions in Perth will be far different, the 104-Test veteran believes there are plenty of spots in the XI up for grabs.

Big names returning With six titles between them in Auckland, Spaniard David Ferrer and American John Isner have confirmed that they are returning for January’s ASB Classic tournament. The duo were announced yesterday while another American, former finalist Sam Querrey has also confirmed to NZME at the Shanghai Masters, he’s returning to the Classic. The trio add to the already announced defending champion Roberto Bautista Agut (ranked 19) for a field that will probably lack the star power of the ASB women’s Classic, it’s headline act is Serena Williams, but will have strong depth.

Dodgers bowl Cubs Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw did his job in an unfamiliar closer role to secure a 4-3 win for the Dodgers at Washington, clinching the series and advancing to the National League Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs.

After regular closer Kenley Jansen issued a pair of walks with one out in the ninth inning, Kershaw was called up for his first relief appearance in seven years. He got Daniel Murphy to pop out, then struck out Wilmer Difo to end it, taking his first ever save in the majors and responding to question marks over his reliability in playoff games.

DRAW T20 competition week one: 12 noon: Coldstream v Tech, Lauriston v Methven, Allenton bye.

3pm: Tech v Lauriston, Allenton v Coldstream, Methven bye.

Rain hits England England’s hopes of some practice time out in the middle before the first Test against Bangladesh next week were hampered as the first day of their warm-up match was abandoned in Chittagong. There was no rain yesterday morning but it was decided less than half-anhour later to call off play for the day. The fixture, and the one that immediately follows on Sunday and Monday, is an opportunity for Haseeb Hameed and Ben Duckett to stake their claims to become Alastair Cook’s next opening test partner.

■ HALF MARATHON BID

In brief

Progress report: Encouraging I

am now officially halfway through my 12-week training.

Yes! What a great feeling.

Oh, I have definitely come a long, long way …

If you had told me a couple of months ago that I would be running nearly 15km (13km, close enough), I would have probably laughed and said “no way”.

But here I am.

I can still remember struggling to run 2km in a row, dreading it and not enjoying a single minute of it with a body totally out of shape.

I am amazed that in just six weeks – six weeks – so many things have changed …

First I am looking forward to going for a run (maybe not for the long Sunday one yet, I am still anxious about that, but all the others) and if I don’t go for a few days, I miss it.

Ashburton Guardian 17

It may sound weird but I actually really do.

I am no longer worried about running a few kilometres and would easily run 5-6km without a struggle.

Who would have thought?

Not me!

I am enjoying running even if it is hard sometimes because I’m tired, because I am not feeling well that day or any other reasons.

I am not a masochist, let’s be clear, but actually even the bad runs are good runs to me and the satisfaction I get when they are done is priceless.

I guess it is the same for any kind of exercise, right?

You feel good when you do it or if not, after you are done.

A feeling of achievement I reckon.

EMMA ON THE RUN

My body is a lot stronger today than when I started.

The body is an amazing machine, isn’t it?

In only a few weeks, I can feel fitter (not fit yet but a lot closer to fit than I was!) and I have improved the way I run a lot.

It isn’t perfect, however, it is getting better every time I run.

I have come a long way and I have learned a lot about my running and about myself. * I don’t like running on a treadmill and will always prefer the outdoors – if you like running on the treadmill, please give me some tips on how to enjoy it! * I run better in the morning

than the afternoon and I prefer shingle to tar seal (so much softer on your joints). * I need to fuel my body with lots of vegetables and protein as I really lacked energy for my runs when I didn’t. * I have vital accessories I can’t run without: iPhone (as you know, I need my music), bottlebelt (I need to keep hydrated so this is a must!), Haribo teddy bears (they are European lollies that I love as I need sugar when the kilometres are piling up) and tissues (you never know when you need to blow your nose). * I can’t always stick to my training plan and when it happens, I have learnt not to beat myself up. * A strong mind can make you achieve anything!

All in all, I am really happy I gave myself this challenge.

I feel so much better for it inside and out!

Give yourself a challenge, I bet you won’t regret it either.

PS: Try running.

■ OPINION

New Zealand batsmen bamboozled by the spin doctors

By Wynne Gray

W

hen was the last time a New Zealand test batsman took several paces down the wicket to a spinner or played several sessions with soft hands and his bat and pad technique sorted?

Let me have a quick scurry through the memory banks. Was it Martin Crowe, Glenn Turner, John Fulton Reid or another leftie, Bert Sutcliffe?

Current skipper Kane Williamson has shown that ability and, against spin, is a notch above his team-mates, although Ravi Ashwin had his measure recently.

Williamson plays with soft hands and likes to work either side of the crease without venturing too far down the pitch, but an

inclination to play his favourite cut shot found him out at Indore.

New Zealanders are taken through a cricket nursery where medium pace is the preferred weapon of choice for the bowlers.

There are many reasons.

It’s easier to bowl than spin and is a favoured method in those demanding runs per over stats columns in one-day cricket, while pitches in this country do not inspire spinners.

Captains are often reluctant to use a spin option unless they have someone like Daniel Vettori, who was as frugal as a trundler.

It all adds up to an ingrained style for New Zealand batsmen.

They play from the crease, where they can judge the line, bounce and anticipated move-

ment from the quicks. When they face bowlers like Ashwin, whose weapons are guile, flight, spin, variety and close-set fields, they are entering unfamiliar territory.

We hear that as an excuse for the failings of the batting order in the 3-0 test series loss to India.

We see it, too, with some of the uncertain block-slog tactics, the front-foot lunge and hard hands pushing at the ball.

We have been hearing it for some time.

There were the laments about the Kiwis’ inability a few years ago to deal with the Sri Lankan attack and how they were bamboozled by a range of finger spinners.

The best players of spin use their feet and are quite happy to keep the score ticking over in sin-

gles, as Virat Kohli did at Indore.

In New Zealand, there is a mentality that, if a batsman takes several steps down to a spinner, then he has to lift him somewhere to the outfield.

Rarely do we see batsmen skipping down the track then stroking a spinner into the gaps.

They seem to favour the Brendon McCullum-style tonk.

The block-bash method runs through the longer versions of the game and into more explosive shorter forms. The ability to accumulate runs against spin is an art-form very few New Zealand batsmen have grasped.

Mike Hussey, Shiv Chanderpaul, AB de Villiers, Brian Lara, Greg Chappell, VVS Laxman, Michael Clarke, Doug Walters and Javed

Miandad were batsmen who understood how to play spin. They had plans built on great footwork and positive strokeplay. Kohli turned the strike over against spin and accumulated runs as he worked the ball around the field, rather than looking for a maximum or playing against the turn.

Whacks over the outfield into the crowd are the stuff of one-day cricket and men like McCullum, Adam Gilchrist and Chris Gayle.

They managed it in test cricket, too, but were the exception.

Garfield Sobers, Don Bradman, Graeme Pollock and Sachin Tendulkar fashioned incredible test cricket records where footwork and the ground were their allies against spin, rather than indecision and the air.

A Mt Hutt College pupil is trying to raise money to train overseas after this year’s success in under 14 national skiing competitions.

At the age of 12 Chloe Keizer has claimed five podium positions from six national skiing events this year, which included three gold medals and two bronze.

Keizer wants to raise around $5000 so she can start to venture overseas to enhance her skills in summer training camps and compete more seriously in national competitions.

She won two gold medals in the Mt Hutt Junior Interfields, one for the slalom and another in the giant slalom.

Keizer also claimed a gold in the dual giant slalom and a bronze in the ski cross at the NZ Junior Snowsports Nationals.

She had her best place of the season in the South Island Championships where she won bronze in the giant slalom.

Keizer also claimed first place in the McNulty’s Ski Cross Race at Porters in the 12 to 18-year-old girls.

If people want to help Keizer travel overseas they can contact Mt Hutt College for more information on how to donate.

A tight turnaround between matches may turn tonight’s third Constellation Cup clash between the Silver Ferns and Australia into a survival of the fittest.

The two sides only arrived in Auckland late Thursday night following the Ferns’ thrilling 53-51 victory in Tasmania, giving them just one day to prepare for the third meeting of the series at Vector Arena tonight.

Heading into the series New Zealand coach Janine Southby had highlighted the two-day turnaround around between the second and third test as a potential stumbling block for her team if they don’t stay on top of their recovery protocols.

Southby said she and her management team have kept a close eye on the condition of the players and their energy levels since Wednesday night’s tense showdown and adjusted individual workloads as they saw fit.

Veteran defender Anna Harrison – one of the stars of the Ferns stunning comeback victory in game two – sat out today’s final court session in order to give her every chance of taking the court tonight.

Harrison, who is returning from a calf injury which kept her out of the first half of the international season, was supposed to be on limited minutes in Wednesday night’s test, but after a dominant first half performance against Australian star Caitlin Bassett, Southby opted to let the 33-yearold play out the match.

The national coach is hoping Harrison has another 60 minutes in her in game three, with the star providing the defensive bite the New Zealand side were lacking in their 12-goal hammering in the opening test.

But Harrison is not the only concern in the Ferns camp, with Southby describing her side as “a little jaded” yesterday, forcing management staff to shorten the planned training match.

“I think we have a wee way to go to get the energy levels back up again,” said Southby.

“We have tried to keep training short and really focused on what we need to do.

“Now it is all about recovery and we have some systems in place about what we need to follow, and a lot of it is around catching up on sleep.”

After their meek performance in the series opener, the Silver Ferns’ victory on Wednesday night breathed life back into the series.

The challenge for the team now is to be able to string together wins consistently and prove the game in Launceston was not an anomaly.

Cahill ‘the enemy’

The Mid Canterbury 13th grade football team are delighted with the effort they put in at the South Island tournament held in Queenstown last week.

Otaki hat-trick a highlight

By Noah Graham The Mid Canterbury 13th Grade football earned one of their best ever positions in the South Island Tournament in Queenstown last week.

The team placed seventh out of the 13 teams that entered the tournament which began on October 6 and finished October 8.

Coach Paul Bradford said they were one of the smaller teams in the tournament and did well to place where they had.

The other regions that entered

“

Goalie James Robinson was the hero as he saved three out of five shots from Southland

the tournament were Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury, North Canterbury, Selwyn, South Canterbury, Central Otago, Otago and Southland.

At the end of the first day of

the tournament Mid Canterbury had done well after they lost two games, one to Central Otago and Otago Blue, but managed to beat South Canterbury Green 4-1.

On Friday the team worked

their way to fourth in their pool of six with a 5-4 close game against Marlborough in which Lear Otaki scored a hat-trick.

Then they played Canterbury Black and lost.

On the final day the team had a seventh and eighth place-off game against Southland which went into penalty shootout after the score was 3-3.

Bradford said the team won 4-2 in penalties and goalie James Robinson was the hero as he saved three out of five shots from Southland.

Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat has paved the way for a roasting of Socceroos legend Tim Cahill in tonight’s A-League derby with Melbourne City, describing him as “the enemy”. Muscat has welcomed the all-time leading national team scorer to the A-League but on the eve of the big match, declared the moment for plaudits to end. “Enough’s been said. Tim’s been great for our code and our country but right here and now, he’s the enemy,” he told reporters.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Right man for the job

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will be led by Eric Duff when they emerge from the sheds at the Alpine Energy Stadium in Timaru today for what will be the Hammers most pivotal tie of the 2016 campaign.

It is do or die time for Mid Canterbury.

A win will see them through to the Meads Cup play-offs, and potentially a home semi-final, but a defeat could see the twotime winners slip out of the top four.

Duff’s announcement as skipper mid-season was a quiet one.

Co-coaches James Jowsey and Craig Dunlea handed him the responsibility to allow Jon Dampney some time to work on specific aspects of his game without the added pressure of captaincy.

It was a logical appointment.

Duff’s Heartland career has been a distinguished one.

The lock, who can also operate as a loose forward, has won the Meads Cup on two occasions – once with North Otago in 2010 and again in 2014 with Mid Canterbury.

He has also been selected to the Heartland XV three times, and captained the side against New Zealand Marist last year.

Duff is now fully focused on the job at hand, and is confident that the Hammers have the credentials to win the Meads Cup for a third time.

“We’ve come together pretty well in the last month,” he said.

“We’ve got a bit of momentum and we’ve got a good side.”

The 28-year-old does not have the characteristics of a typical captain.

You won’t see him bellowing at his team-mates in frustration.

But discretion should not be confused with weakness.

After all, it’s not the person that talks the most that makes an effective leader, but rather the person that talks the most sense.

Duff justifies his right to lead

Heartland Championship week eight: South Canterbury v Mid Canterbury, Timaru, 2.30pm.

Tietjens confirmed Former All Blacks Sevens coach Sir Gordon Tietjens is returning to coaching after being named as the new mentor for Samoa. He was unveiled as Samoa’s new coach at a press conference yesterday.

Tietjens, who led New Zealand to two World Cups, four Commonwealth Games gold medals and 12 world series crowns, will have former Manu Samoa coach Stephen Betham as his assistant.

Kenya had also been seeking the signature of Tietjens.

Donald keen to play on Former All Black Stephen Donald says he has no plans to hang up the boots just yet despite another injury-plagued season.

Donald has been out of the game for almost three months after injuring his right shoulder in the Chiefs’ quarter-final victory over the Stormers in July. The 32-year-old will come off the bench for Waikato when they take on Wellington in the capital today, in what could be his sole Mooloos appearance of 2016. Last season he managed only two appearances for the provincial outfit after battling a hamstring injury sustained after his return from Japan.

Eric Duff will lead the Hammers in what has all the makings of a thriller against South Canterbury in Timaru today.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 131016-TM-0060 through his own performances.

“I try to lead by example.

“I don’t say too much, but focus on my own performance before anyone else’s,” he said.

And his calm exterior will be vital today as the Hammers bid to make the play-offs while defending the Hanan Shield for the seventh time.

Duff also cited the support he receives from other senior personnel as playing a key role as the Hammers hunt for a third Meads Cup. “I enjoy a challenge and captaincy is a new challenge for me,” he said.

“It’s not an easy job, but I’m very well supported.

“Will Mackenzie, Richard Catherwood, Jon Dampney, Jackson Donlan, they’re all very good.”

He may not be the most vocal man on the paddock, but Duff’s cool temperament will be just what the Hammers need in what is set to be a heated affair this afternoon.

Steelers girding up

Rapana ‘a proud Kiwi’

By CampBell BurneS Counties Manukau have rolled out the big guns for today’s shot at Canterbury in Pukekohe.

All Blacks hooker Hika Elliot, RWC medal-winning prop Pauliasi Manu and Chiefs wing Toni Pulu all slot into the starting line-up, the front-rowers for their first starts of an injury-ravaged 2016.

Halfback Augustine Pulu, the fulcrum around which much of their attack is based, makes a timely return from a one-match suspension.

After Auckland’s narrow defeat to Taranaki on Thursday night, the Steelers need just one competition point to clinch a Premiership semi-final berth for the first time since 2013.

But the reality is they would love to register a victory to enable them to possibly, pending today’s Tasman-Southland game, finish as high up as third and thus avoid an unappetising trip to Christchurch next weekend.

There is the further motivating factor that they have not lowered Canterbury’s colours since, astoundingly, 1998, though they pushed them hard in the 2015 regular season before losing 2015.

Canterbury, the No 1 qualifier and defending champions, have made several changes to their line-up, including resting injured form playmaker Richie Mo’unga.

Jordie Barrett moves back to fullback and Fijian international Ben Volavola will start at first five.

But Steelers coach Darryl Suasua is not fooled.

“Talking to our guys who have spent a lot of time down there (read their Crusaders Jordan Taufua, Jimmy Tupou and Sione Fifita), it’s just not in the Canterbury psyche to take the game lightly.

“They want to win everything and have been the form

By DaviD Skipwith

Augustine Pulu, a vital cog in the Steelers machine, is back to face Canterbury today. team of the competition.

“The energy of their tight five is key,” says Suasua.

The Steelers were clearly the better team on the paddock in their 16-14 crucial victory over Otago last weekend, with the likes of So’otala Fa’aso’o and Richard Judd to the fore, but they still required a last minute Joe Reynolds penalty goal to seal the result.

Though the kick was directly in front, it was a chance for Reynolds to exorcise the demons of his late, costly, miss against Taranaki.

However, he broke his hand at training during the week, and joins prop Sione Faletau (calf ) on the sidelines.

Other players, such as Fa’aso’o and prop Kalolo Tuiloma are bracketed, while there was a

lighter training week for some who have had a heavy workload this season, namely Piers Francis and Taufua.

“We haven’t been pleased with our last two games.

“We made 12 line breaks against Otago, but just weren’t finishing off.

“A lot of our games have gone down to last plays,” says Suasua.

Accordingly, the Steelers have trained for such scenarios, looking to drive lineouts, work to the middle and perhaps force a penalty.

Incredibly, their four losing margins in games this season total just 10 points.

They have played well enough to be semi-finalists and should be good enough to secure at least the one point required to confirm that today.

Jordan Rapana went through an identity crisis before his heart told him to choose the black and white of New Zealand over the green and gold of Australia.

Rapana will make his test debut for the Kiwis in tonight’s transTasman league test against the Kangaroos in Perth after he abandoned a childhood dream of playing for the All Blacks and turned down the chance to play State of Origin for Queensland.

The Porirua-born, Gold Coastbred Canberra Raiders wing was forced to make some hard decisions and even defied his mother’s wishes before declaring his allegiance to New Zealand.

“I’m a very proud Kiwi and even though I didn’t spend too many years there.

“I know my roots, don’t worry,” said Rapana.

“I’m not the heartiest Kiwi but I have a lot of passion.

“I had a lot of people saying ‘what are you doing’ but it was my decision and my heart is with the Kiwis jersey.

“You can take the boy out of New Zealand but you can’t take New Zealand out of the boy.

“Mum wasn’t too happy but obviously it would mean a lot more to wear the Kiwis jersey than a Queensland jersey. She’s been stuck in Aussie too long.”

Rapana has taken the long route to the big time and at 27 years old is something of a late bloomer in an era when future internationals are usually identified at a young age.

Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga had hoped Rapana would swing towards playing for his beloved Maroons and Australia and has no doubts the Kiwis will benefit from his inclusion.

“The Kiwis have got a good side and Jordan will obviously fit in really well,” said Meninga. - NZME

In brief

Northern raiders big threat

By GreG Jones The Ashburton Racing Club meeting should provide some outstanding racing today with seven North Island trainers providing entrants in nine of the races on the programme to intensify the competition.

While some have come south to miss the continued wet tracks at home, the timing of the Ashburton meeting fits in very well for horses progressing to the NZ Cup meeting.

The 10-race programme has drawn large fields.

The feature race of the programme is the Barneswood Farm Stakes a listed event for threeyear-olds.

The time interval of three weeks between this race and the principal spring target for most, the 2000 Guineas, is ideal and many recent winners and placegetters have backed up well at Riccarton.

The quality of the field this year is strong, the depth impressive.

The highest rated horse, Heroic Valour, has looked top class and

M6

while losing his winning record last time on a wet track he clearly looked uncomfortable on, he showed spirit and determination to run a creditable third.

Trained by Te Akau stables who have a terrific record in the race and partly owned by local enthusiasts Paul and Barbara Shaw, Heroic Valour will have the blinkers on to help him race to his potential.

The main danger would appear to be the O’Sullivan/Scott-trained Sweet Leader, unbeaten this season and a convincing winner over this distance last time out.

Local fillies La Diosa and Starvoia (especially if wet) will not be without a chance either as they have revealed a lot of ability in their limited careers to date.

The RD Petroleum Ashburton Cup is race six on the programme and looks to be between the wellperformed top weight Maybe Miami and the exciting Stokers Rock who has won the last four starts impressively.

Coulee has the credentials to pose some problems and should

Matt Cameron is down to ride Heroic Valour today. complete the trifecta.

Racing starts at 12.18 and Cha Siu Bau and Boxachocolates look set to fight out the finish in the first as both look very promising.

Waylay and Hot Tempo look to be the best of the South Islanders.

Fame Seeker has won at Taupo the last two starts and from a nice draw looks hard to beat in the second. The local Flag The Groom trialled well recently and should be close up, while Laaffaire is another local with a great record here.

Trentham beckons Smart mare Rasa Lila will chase her first Group One success in the Rydges Captain Cook Stakes in early December. “She’s still out in the paddock and when she’s back we’ll keep her ticking over until Trentham,” co-trainer Steven Ramsay said. “We know she operates best when she’s fresh.”

- NZME

The Pitman stable has two high class sprinters in First Serve and Kinagat contesting the open 1200m event and it is hard to separate them. The local Signify will likely be forward enough to provide some serious opposition.

Paco Rabanne could quit maidens in the fifth of the day and the odds might be more attractive than the good formline would indicate.

R7 has an open look about it and the best chances probably lie with Tavis Star, Hugo The Boss and Royal Road.

Imperium looks well-placed for the Te Akau team in the penultimate race even with the top weight and it looks a moveable anchor for the multiple bets.

The last is a fairly decent R85 field of stayers and Speedy Jax looks as good as any with a good track record, while Wise Move could be the giant killer as it has a massive finish at times and the tracks at Riccarton in recent times seem to been against him.

Best Bet: Race 1 Chau Siu Bao Longshot: Race 10 Wise Move

Stayer doing well Highly-regarded staying prospect Royal Success is making good progress toward a return to racing. Beaten only once in four appearances, he hasn’t been seen out since he completed his hattrick of wins at Te Rapa in June and while he holds a nomination for the Coupland’s Mile, he won’t be going south. “We’re taking our time with him and he’s a very progressive stayer in the making,” trainer Jamie Richards said.- NZME

Smart mare returns Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott aren’t in any great rush with the well-related mare Mary Quant.

“She’s due back in the stable any day after a good, long spell,” cotrainer Andrew Scott said. “We’ll get cracking with her when the ground firms up.”

Heartland pumps $4m into lender

Michael Coleman and Selwyn Sloan MONEY MATTERS

similar returns to those of New Zealand equities over the period.

This was despite a more mixed reporting season where there were more downgrades than upgrades.

Earnings per share (EPS) growth in Australia, however, is expected to recover over the next two years and this resulted in gains over the quarter.

Looking forward, even with downgrades having been made, the materials, utilities and healthcare sectors are expected to deliver double-digit earnings growth over the next two years.

Market growth is expected to be more modest, although still a respectable +7.0 per cent per annum.

Fixed interest markets back Central Bank support for longer While domestically the Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to cut the official cash rate, longer-term interest rates are being driven by global Central Bank policies and in particular quantitative easing measures.

Recently, some of the stimulus provided by Japan and Europe has been lower than the market expected.

The US Federal Reserve is also closer to raising its official rate.

This has led to some speculation that longer-term interest rates could be nearing an inflexion point.

In reality, real interest rates have been falling for over a decade.

This has been a reflection of durable goods deflation and demand constraints posed by ageing demographics in developed economies.

To bolster demand and growth in these economies, fiscal stimulus is expected to be the next step adopted by authorities.

The indebtedness of governments does however require interest rates to remain low.

Accordingly, it appears more likely that Central Bank policy will continue to remain accommodative and cap longer-term interest rate increases.

In the meantime, low absolute interest rate levels have led to an increase in corporate issuance.

This continues to allow investors to be more selective and to use the new issuance to improve the overall quality of portfolios.

Corporates commit to electric vehicles

BY PATTRICK SMELLIE Thirty of New Zealand’s largest companies are committing to at least 30 per cent of their corporate fleets being electric vehicles by 2019.

The initiative represents some 1450 vehicles – a 75 per cent increase in the total number of EVs on New Zealand roads today.

It coincides with an unheralded government decision to begin procuring EVs for the public sec-

tor in quarterly tranches from the end of this year in an effort to bulk up demand for either fully electric or plug-in hybrids capable of being charged from the national grid and running on conventional fossil fuels.

eviewing equity market returns over the three months to September 30, returns were positive but much of this can be attributed to the returns made in July.

Markets have tended to mark time since then, with the November US presidential and congressional elections taking centre stage.

Equity markets have also shown unease with the lower-thanexpected stimulus from Japanese and European central banks, albeit Japan still targets capping longer-term government rates at 0 per cent.

US, European and UK equity markets had the strongest net positive earnings revisions among international markets, albeit the stronger New Zealand dollar counteracted these gains. UK returns were particularly hard-hit by currency, with the British pound (GBP) depreciating significantly following the vote to exit the European Union.

New Zealand equities continue to deliver above-average returns, but similar to other markets, August and September monthly returns were muted.

This may be a reflection of lower foreign flows, though New Zealand’s relative strong economic growth and stable outlook should continue to see New Zealand remain in favour from a global context.

In August, Harmoney said it would plead guilty to six charges relating to a pre-approval letter sent in various forms to more than 500,000 New Zealanders between October 2014 and April 2015, which misled recipients by telling them they had been pre-approved to borrow money.

This week, ACT Party leader David Seymour called for Commerce Minister Paul Goldsmith to give P2P lenders more flexibility about how to charge, claiming the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment was “advising the minister to apply fee restrictions to these companies as if they are traditional lenders, despite the fact that they are not actually lenders, but intermediaries connecting personal lenders with borrowers”.

Heartland Bank, the NZX-listed lender, has lifted its stake in Harmoney Corp, injecting $4 million of new equity into the peer-topeer lender.

The Auckland-based bank paid about 50.9 cents apiece for almost 787,000 shares, increasing its stake to 13 per cent, filings to the Companies Office show. That’s the same price as was paid by Stone Ridge Ventures and P2P Global Investments when they pumped $8.8 million into Harmoney in its last capital raise in February.

Harmoney said the funds raised will support the P2P lender platform’s “exceptional growth”, which has seen $320 million of loans facilitated and earning $32 million in interest for investors.

Co-chief executive and its biggest shareholder, Neil Roberts, said at the time he didn’t envisage raising more funds until Harmoney was cashflow neutral, which it would then use to develop into a large-scale business.

Harmoney got a head-start as the first mover in the market but is facing increased competition from the arrival of other licensed P2P lenders Squirrel Money, LendMe, Lending Crowd and PledgeMe, which also operates a crowdfunding platform.

OUR VIEW

The times they are a changin’ Michelle Nelson

N

ews that legendary singer songwriter Bob Dylan topped the list to be selected as this year’s Nobel laureate has been met with mixed reaction.

The 75-year-old American has made history in becoming the first musician to win the prize, adding his name to a list of literary greats stretching back 115 years.

He is now in the company of giants such as Faulkner, Hemingway and Steinbeck.

While not entirely surprising, the odd naysayer took to social media to voice disapproval, claiming the boy who first stepped on to the stage half a century ago is not a writer in the truest sense of the word. I think Dylan has more than earned the accolade.

Dylan changed the world. He told stories which had to be told, he introduced ideas in a popular forum. He delivered the beauty of prose to a new audience.

He shook up the world with words which expressed the sentiments of the day.

The injustices which led to the American Civil Rights Movement and the horror of the Vietnam War were laid bare in songs such as Blowin’ in the Wind, The Times They Are A-Changin’ and Chimes of Freedom.

His works became literature, his deep and sometimes dangerous words have been subject to innumerable interpretations, doctorates have been written on their meanings.

Dylan’s music is as relevant today as it was when he first brought his politics to the fore in Knoxville in 1965.

And he has never slowed down. He continues to write and perform.

Throughout his long career he has referenced all manner of literature; the classics, mythology, modern culture – even the Bible.

He continues to challenge us, to entertain us and to enlighten us. There’s little in modern music which doesn’t reflect an element of Dylan.

Even if you’re not a fan, forget the mournful, jagged voice and sojourns into various religious traditions and read the words.

After all: “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

Fifty years of storytelling through music – surely worthy of Nobel recognition?

ABAS began providing budgeting advice in the Ashburton District approximately 25 years ago and in the intervening years has developed into a large and very well-respected organisation.

Changing times encouraged ABAS as a group of volunteers to look at other ways of maintaining the service and in December 2014, Presbyterian Support took over the day-to-day delivery of the service under a management contract.

This has proved to be very suc-

cessful for all concerned, particularly from the viewpoint of the clients who have been able to access the wrap-around support which then became available.

ABAS would like to acknowledge the amazing volunteers and paid staff who have delivered budgeting advice and kept the service running in often very challenging conditions.

We are grateful that the advisors, in particular, now have certainty in their continued roles under the new initiative.

The Ashburton District will continue to be very well served by the management and staff of Presbyterian Support.

Congratulations to all the elected councillors, the district owes you a lot for putting yourself forward and for the time you are about to give.

I have confidence that you will use your business acumen to consider the issues and make decisions.

The recent letter from Jen Branje expecting fresh eyes and open minds is great as the value of council land with a water consent must be seen for its real value.

Take the past emotion out of it and until there is a proposal for the sale and use of the land we must accept that the water consent attached to Lot 9 is a valuable asset for the future.

Let’s make sure local business doesn’t drown

S

o two random thoughts collided in my cerebellum and have produced this Ode to the Small Business.

The rather random ideas were firstly from involvement in the Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre production of Cinderella and Xanadu.

It was here that I met a number of small business owners and marvelled at their willingness to be involved through sponsorship, and donating time and materials.

The second inspirational thought came from the announcement by the Lake Hood Trust to target Auckland business owners south to our pastoral paradise.

Great initiative by them and hopefully no splinter cell of the citizens group decide to stop them setting up shop here (I could imagine their slogan – “Eat The Jaffa!”)

Small, local businesses are so vital for this town that they deserve an ode. So here’s one for you: Ode to the Small Business

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

Here’s to the little guy Who sets up shop in this town To the one or two-man bands That put their business roots down Hooray for their enthusiasm and passion And willingness to give it a go For their skill and expertise And knowledgeable knowledge they know Ahead of them lies dealing with paperwork From our bylaw-slinging, ruleabiding local council There’s consents, permits, applications And building inspector visits as well They may have to run the

gauntlet Of local well-meaning citizens’ groups With their catchy chants and discipline Like Montana Militia troops

And when we need uniform sponsorship For a hockey or netball team You know we will call them up And ask to help kids reach their dreams

And once they have the go ahead To conduct business around the town Look out for big brother from Wellington With taxes that could shut you down

Of course they buy our chocolate And give a prize for a local quizco And when you hear the fire siren Who do you think is ready to go?

There’s GST, ACC and PAYE And a dollop of IR4 forms to complete It’s only fair IRD have first take Like hyenas on fresh meat But the little guy keeps battling on And starts to do quite well Enough to take on someone else The staff begins to swell They employ locally from the town Or bring a family in Extra kids in our schools And local builders win

So roll out the welcome mat It’s better than having a shut door There is so much to offer them Cheaper housing, slower pace and more Let’s hear it for the smaller business The ones that make this town In the rising tide of a global economy Let’s make sure they do not drown Peter Livingstone is the principal of Tinwald School.

United States election in the gutter

T

he US election has now descended to the gutter where it will no doubt stay until election day on November 8 and probably for some time after.

That it has come to this is hard to fathom.

Despite Donald Trump being written off as a no-hope candidate when he joined 15 other Republicans over a year ago, he has outlasted them all, broken every convention in the election manual and turned the election itself into an unseemly series of sordid, insult-swapping and baseless, personal allegations.

Nevertheless, there is still no certainty he, and his oft-embarrassed wife, the elegant Melania, will not be spending their first night at 1600, Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC at the end of that same, potentially tumultuous day, November 8.

There seems to be, sweeping the United States, a fever of disenchantment with conventional politics.

Somehow, and almost certainly to his complete surprise, Mr Trump has been the instigator of

Nick Lindo

EYE ON POLITICS

this sea surge of floating voters all of whom, apparently, see in him a man ready to take on the world and make America great again.

With no political experience, Trump has turned himself into some kind of vote-catching demagogue.

Various political gurus much more savvy than I have credited Mr Trump with seeing himself as the representative of a number of thought-provoking but acceptable groups to be found in the American political lexicon.

Thus we are informed he is obviously preaching from the “liberal right”, the “social left” or, simply, “the centrist school”, or is actually presenting the attitudes of yet another school of thought completely.

He didn’t, after all, attend Yale or Harvard, as the majority of presidential candidates have over the years; he has “made” himself – albeit with the help of a substantial legacy from his father – and now, as very much the social outsider, finds himself the choice of many of his fellow countrymen and women to be their next president.

That he is crude, crass, lascivious and ignorant doesn’t seem to bother his supporters.

He is also intimidatory, as his prowling about on the stage behind Mrs Clinton at this week’s so-called “debate” would seem to suggest.

In all her long and mostly successful political life, it is most unlikely Hillary Clinton has ever been confronted by a “nonconformist” like Trump and she has clearly found handling him difficult.

Now, we while away the remaining days till November 8 as the long, drawn-out procedure reaches the moment of truth.

For a brief moment the guns and gurus will fall silent before rushing back into print to ex-

And if Trump wins? What then?

You can bet your life the Republican Party will instantly change its constitution to ensure such an aberration is never repeated but will it actually suggest also to well-placed, if entirely non-political “movers and shakers” everywhere, that getting one’s hands on the levers of government as the 21st century gathers momentum may not require the traditionally tedious path of door-knocking and leaflet distribution to guarantee office.

Have we, in New Zealand, indeed a host of would-be “President” Donald Trumps just waiting in the wings ready to seize the day and march to power with only the flimsiest contact with a major party?

When it comes to future high office will history suggest it was Trump who broke the mould by reaching the top via the voice of the people and despite the opposition of the hierarchy of the party to which he was nominally attached?

Could be a game-changer.

■ PHILIPPINES

Killings elict warning The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor said she is “deeply concerned” about reports of extrajudicial killings of suspected drug dealers and users in the Philippines.

Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda also said that statements by “high officials” in the Asian nation “seem to condone such killings.”

The written statement by Bensouda appeared aimed as a blunt warning to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, whose anti-drug crackdown has left an estimated 3000 people allegedly involved in the drug trade dead.

The Philippines is a member state of the International Criminal Court, the world’s first global court prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity, so crimes committed there could be prosecuted at the Hague-based institution.

“Any person in the Philippines who incites or engages in acts of mass violence including by ordering, requesting, encouraging or contributing, in any other manner, to the commission of crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC is potentially liable to prosecution before the Court,” Bensouda said.

In the Philippine capital, Manila, Duterte exuded confidence in a speech late Thursday that he could easily parry any criminal investigation into the killings. He said he has written letters to invite President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, UN and EU

Kendall Jenner testifies Kendall Jenner says she was terrified by a man who followed her into her driveway earlier this year and repeatedly knocked on her car window in the Hollywood Hills.

The model and reality television star testified at a stalking trial that it was the scariest moment of her life. The 20-yearold Jenner testified that she previously saw defendant Shavaughn McKenzie outside her former condominium in Westwood. Jenner testified for about 50 minutes and was due back on the witness stand after break. The 25-year-old McKenzie is charged with misdemeanour stalking and trespassing.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been under criticism by international human rights groups, the United Nations, European Union and the United States for the more than 3000 deaths of mostly suspected drug-users and drug-pushers.

PHOTO AP officials to visit the Philippines to investigate him, but warned he would publicly humiliate them by disproving their allegations.

As a former trial lawyer for eight years, “they cannot be brighter than me, believe me,” saying that after he’s investigated, he should be allowed to grill his inquisitors.

“I will play with you in public. I will ask five questions that will humiliate you. And I will ask 10 questions for you to agree with me,” Duterte said in a speech at a business conference. “It would be a spectacle.

You better watch it all. It will give you an entertainment.”

EU lawyers alleging he may be criminally liable for threatening criminals with death are “idiots,” Duterte said. He has said that there’s no Philippine law barring presidents from doing that.

Human rights advocates, however, say Duterte swore during his inauguration in June to ensure the execution of Philippine laws, some of which prohibit serious threats, especially death, toward people. The constitution also prohibits any cruel and inhumane punishments, including the death penalty.

Bensouda said her office will closely monitor developments

in the Philippines in coming weeks with a view to establishing whether she should open a preliminary investigation.

Since becoming president in June, Duterte has drawn widespread criticism for his country’s deadly war on drugs.

Last week, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the US remains “deeply concerned by reports of widespread extrajudicial killings by or at the behest of government authorities in the Philippines.

The use of that kind of tactic is entirely inconsistent with universal human rights and the shared values of our two countries.”

Syrian war crime New York Times call rhetoric Putin rejects Trump claim

■ UNITED STATES

The New York Times rejected Donald Trump’s claim the newspaper had libelled the Republican presidential nominee, saying its story about two women who said he sexually assaulted them was “newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern.”

In a letter, Times attorney David McCraw said Trump “has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women” and that multiple women had already come forward. “Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself,” he wrote.

The Times reported that two women told the paper of his unwanted sexual advances.

One, Jessica Leeds, said Trump groped her on an airplane more than three decades ago.

The other, Rachel Crooks, said Trump kissed her without invitation in 2006 when she was a 22-year-old receptionist for a real estate firm located at Trump Tower.

Trump vehemently denied the allegations, and demanded through his attorney that the story be retracted. At a rally in Ohio, Trump said the media had “slandered and lied about me with false accusations.”

The Times refused to retract the story, saying its reporters worked diligently to confirm the women’s accounts. “It would have been a disservice not just to our readers but to democracy itself to silence their voices,” McCraw’s letter said.

McCraw said that if Trump decides to go ahead with a lawsuit, then “we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed suggestions for investigating his country over potential war crimes in Syria as political rhetoric.

Diplomatic tensions have raised between France and Russia over Syria’s conflict, with Putin postponing a scheduled trip to Paris after France called for a war crimes investigation into bombardments in Syria’s divided city of Aleppo.

Speaking to a French broadcaster in an interview, Putin called the suggestions “political rhetoric that does not have great significance and does not take into account the real situation in Syria.”

Putin added that Russia’s aim is to combat terrorism.

“The sad reality is that wherever military operations take place, innocent people

suffer and die. But we cannot allow terrorists to hide between civilians used as a human shield,” Putin said.

In September 2015, Russia started an air campaign in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad.

The rebel-held section of Aleppo has been under intense airstrikes by government forces and allied Russia since last month when a US-Russian-brokered truce collapsed in Syria.

At least seven civilians were killed in bombing by unidentified jets on opposition-controlled districts in eastern Aleppo, a watchdog reported.

Four children were meanwhile killed in shelling by rebels on a regime-held neighbourhood in western Aleppo, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights added.

Friends and former bandmates of Prince celebrated the Oscar and seventime Grammy winner, who died of an accidental painkiller overdose in April.

Coolio, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr, was charged with one felony count of possession of a firearm by a felon. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office says Coolio has two prior convictions in 2001 and 2009.

■ THAILAND

Thai prince needs time to mourn Thailand’s next king, Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, carries a son’s burden of living up to a great father.

King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died Thursday at the age of 88, reigned for 70 years with almost legendary rectitude and devotion to his country’s development.

The 64-year-old Vajiralongkorn, the second child and only son of Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit, however, is dogged by a reputation that some fear could weaken respect for the monarchy.

Bhumibol designated Vajiralongkorn to be his successor more than 40 years ago. There were other possible candidates for succession — including a younger sister — and there had been speculation one might be chosen.

Prayuth said he had an audience with the prince, and that he has asked for more time to mourn the loss of his father before he becomes king.

“Once the crown prince has expressed his sadness and bereavement over his father, and once the time is appropriate, he affirms that he realises the duties of the heir of the throne,” Prayuth said.

The public at large has long traded rumours about Vajiralongkorn’s finances, hot temper and other matters. Three stormy marriages are a matter of public record.

Although he attends the requisite royal ceremonies and in recent years filled in for his father for some ceremonial and diplomatic duties, the prince is generally a private figure, visibly ill at ease in most public settings.

While all the siblings travel abroad frequently, his sisters usually are promoting their homeland in one manner or another.

In 2015 he made two highprofile public appearances in

Born on July 28, 1952, the prince was accorded the kind of smothering attention one would expect from growing up in a palace — in later life he told an interviewer that even at the age of 12 he was unable to tie his own shoes because courtiers had always done it for him.

Efforts to prepare the prince for the throne began in earnest in his early teens. He was commissioned as an officer in the three branches of Thailand’s armed forces and by age 14 was sent to boarding school in England. He continued his studies at a school in Sydney in preparation for Aus-

tralia’s Royal Military College at Duntroon, which he entered in 1972 and graduated from in 1975.

The prince took part in some military actions against Thailand’s homegrown communist insurgency.

In 1977, reportedly bowing to his mother’s wishes, he married a maternal first cousin, Soamsawali Kitiyakara. Their daughter, Princess Bajrakitiyabha, was born in 1978, even as the marriage was falling apart. When just nine months later the prince had a son by Yuvadhida Polpraserth, a commoner who was to become his second wife, it was clear that Vajiralongkorn felt free to steer his own course socially, regardless of royal propriety.

Palace elders tried to encourage Vajiralongkorn’s enthusiasm for military duties with training stints abroad.

And unsavoury rumours continued to follow him.

Further zika outbreak in Miami Health officials announced a new zika zone in Miami — a setback less than a month after declaring a nearby neighbourhood cleared of the virus following aggressive mosquito spraying.

Five people have been infected with zika in a 1.6-square-kilometre area of the city just north of the Little Haiti neighbourhood according to a statement released by governor’s office.

It is the third Miami-area neighbourhood identified where mosquitoes have transmitted the virus to people These are the first such areas of transmission confirmed in the continental US, following major outbreaks in Latin America of the disease, which can cause major birth defects, including stunted heads.

A travel advisory for the area for pregnant women was expected, similar to current warnings for pregnant women to consider

Ashburton Guardian

postponing non-essential travel to Miami Beach and the rest of Miami-Dade County, said Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

“We’re not yet at the end of mosquito season, so we might continue to see local transmission going on for a little while yet,” Skinner said.

Officials in Florida had warned that Hurricane Matthew would interrupt efforts to eradicate the mosquitoes that spread the virus, and Governor Rick Scott had told residents to be mindful of draining standing water on their properties after the storm passed.

Four cases from the new zone first reported symptoms in September, and the fifth began suffering symptoms earlier this month.

The patients in the new zone include two women and three

men, according to the statement from Scott’s office. Three live in the area while the other two either visited or worked there.

Zika infections have been reported in over 1020 people in Florida, the vast majority of them deemed related to travel to affected areas outside the country.

Health officials have so far traced 105 cases to three Miamiarea infection zones.

“We have seen that aggressive mosquito control efforts have worked and we hope the county also aggressively sprays in this area so we can limit the spread of this virus and protect pregnant women and their growing babies,” Scott said in the statement.

Health officials also were investigating a non-travel zika infection reported in a Broward County resident.

Over time, some of the more outrageous allegations have faded. But the rumour mill has continued to feed on his personal life.

In 2001, he married another commoner, Srirasmi Koet-amphaeng, with whom he had a son, Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, in 2005. The prince then had the royal status of his sons by his second wife withdrawn.

Also widely discussed, albeit privately, in Thailand is Vajiralongkorn’s relationship with former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was deposed by a military coup in 2006 after being accused of corruption and disrespect for the king.

Asked about the crown prince in an interview published online in 2009 by the Times of London, Thaksin said: “He’s not the king yet. He may not be shining (now) but after he becomes the king I’m confident he can be shining.” -AP

HP cuts jobs US computer giant HewlettPackard’s hardware arm HP Inc has announced plans to cut up to 4000 jobs in the next three to four years.

Speaking at a conference in New York, HP President and CEO Don Weisler said between 3000 and 4000 jobs are to be cut, affecting departments throughout the company.

“Although our markets remain very challenged, we are committed to innovation in the core and continue to see long-term growth opportunities in commercial mobility and services, the disruption of the A3 copier market, and the digitisation of graphics and manufacturing through our leading 3D printing solutions,” Weisler said.

“We are confident in our strategy and believe it will continue to produce reliable returns and cash flow, while also enabling HP to invest in differentiated innovation and long-term growth,” he added.

Tech giant Apple will continue its investigation into the conduct of several Brisbane employees it sacked for going against our values to determine if they accessed any customer’s personal data. The US corporation can expect to hear from Australian Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim, who has indicated he wants to know more about the incident. The sacked employees are also accused of sharing the photos and ranking them out of 10 based on their looks. The breach of protocol was apparently picked up by a staff member who noticed a technician fossicking through a customer’s phone while it was being repaired.

Tourists told to behave Tourists in Thailand are being urged to “behave respectfully” and wear “sombre” clothing as the country mourns King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Thailand has entered a period of mourning lasting one year to mark the death of the 88-year-old king. The UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office updated its travel advice to urge tourists to “respect the feelings and sensitivities of the Thai people at this time.

Access to entertainment may be restricted and you should behave respectfully when in public areas,” it said.

Quake rattles Qld town An earthquake has rattled a popular tourist town in north Queensland. The 3.9 magnitude quake struck off the coast near Airlie Beach shortly after 11pm on Thursday. The quake was felt nearly 150km away. Duty seismologist Dan Connolly said there had been no reports of damage. The quake comes less than two months after one measuring 5.1 was recorded off the coast of Bowen. Connolly said earthquake activity was high in that region.“I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more to come.” - AAP

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t have to spend money to be happy, though when you’re out and about it will feel this way. That only means that the marketers are doing their job.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Overnight transformations are the stuff of fairytales. In reality, improvement follows the slow-growth model. In four weeks you’ll look back and be impressed by how much you’ve changed.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It may seem that resisting temptation is only making it harder to resist temptation. However, if you persist, there will come a time in which this trend reverses, and you’ll no longer want what’s bad for you.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Half-full, half-empty -- if the glass has anything in it at all, it’s serving the purpose it was made for. Perhaps we don’t need to judge it with such precision. Perhaps we only need to drink.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s so much going right for you today. Then there’s this little section of, well – what doesn’t get better by chance might get better with a concerted effort. And even if it doesn’t, at least you tried.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your mood makes this an ideal time for emotional planning. Make a list of all of the things that could possibly help, should you fall into an emotional rut. If you run into trouble later, you’ll be ready.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The next step is just like the last.

It’s going to go on like this for a while. You’re used to it by now. Maybe you’re even deciding you love it. The end of the day will bring a twist – something wonderful to ponder.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It’s intriguing how you can focus in a certain way and then suddenly it’s all you see. On a practical level, the self-fulfilling prophecy is all too real. It’s something you’ll experience and control today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): What you used to be afraid of is now old hat: Slap it on; look great; no problem. You’ll help another through a fear today – very real, and very silly, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): When others start looking to you, talking to you, asking you for advice, it can be very intoxicating to the ego at the beginning. The only way to counter this is to do something intentionally humbling.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You hope that some people will forget you, others will remember you with a stinging poignancy and, in the case of tonight, others will merely remember to give you your food, your money or both.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Even the best baseball players find it hard to hit a curveball. Most would agree, though, that the best way to know what’s going to come at you is to study the pitcher.
