Rental regime a killer, Plains tenants say

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hat-trick highlight P16

A new rental regime for the organisations calling the Tinwald Domain’s historic precinct The Plains their home, could see some going out of business.

Several groups run by teams of volunteers are based on land in the Plains Museum precinct and after years of paying for little more than their electricity, those groups are now facing site rentals that for some could run over $1000.

The Ashburton District Council set up a trust to oversee development and to manage the Plains Village.

This group is now finalising licence to occupy deals with tenants and it has signalled the end of a free ride for those

groups not paying their way.

The precinct’s original tenant, the Railway and Preservation Society, has footed the rent bill and other costs for the whole area for years, said chairman Darryl Nelson, but the Plains Museum Trust decided it was time to try and establish a new charging regime.

“They looked through our books and divvied up the costs. That’s still left us paying about 62 per cent of the costs but this is about bringing all the organisations into line and getting them paying their fair share,” he said.

Nelson estimates the all-up costs for rent and maintenance is about $16,000.

“It’s not huge money; their issue is they don’t make any money and this

would mean they’d have to start raising money,” he said The organisations do not receive any funding from the council but do receive a 50 per cent rates subsidy because they are based on reserves board land. The council has agreed to fund an upgrade of the area’s power supply, likely to cost about $60,000.

Unlike other museums, the Plains does not receive any financial support from the council and Nelson suggests it was time it stepped up to the mark.

■ METHADONE PROGRAMME

■ MT SOMERS GARDEN RAMBLE

Programme offers a way out of addiction

View or purchase photos online guardianonline.co.nz

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

In the past two years, an average of 700 addicts have accessed Canterbury’s methadone programme.

The Ministry of Health offers a programme to provide opioid addicts with a means to control their withdrawals and get clean.

In Ashburton there are about 10 to 20 people accessing the programme each month, however the Canterbury District Health Board was unable to give annual statistics as to protect users’ identities.

Opioids are a painkilling drug that includes morphine, codeine and heroin.

The programmes gives addicts alcohol and drug counselling, as well as a prescription to pick up methadone and more recently Suboxone.

Methadone and Suboxone are opioids that are long lasting and give no high, meaning users are safe to drive.

Dr Carmen Lowe, clinical head and consultant psychiatrist at Hilmorton Hospital, said the two drugs are designed to help people get through their withdrawals.

She said methadone lasts for a whole day, and Suboxone, which has only been available for two and a half years, lasts for around 48 hours.

The clinic operates out of Ashburton Hospital and to get on, people first need to go through counselling provided by a community alcohol and drugs group.

Garden ramble fundraiser for library

A doctor and a case manager travel down to the hospital from Christchurch about once a month and provide counselling and prescriptions.

The service operates as a satellite clinic to Christchurch.

Dr Lowe said other clinics were set up in nearby areas but Ashburton is the only one to remain open.

The drugs are not dispensed at the hospital though – they can be picked up from pharmacies that have signed a contract with the Government allowing them to provide them.

Most people on methadone or Suboxone are only given one dose at a time, which is where Suboxone is more advantageous, because it lasts longer, meaning less travel is needed between visits.

Dr Lowe said the programme is a long-term solution and most people are on it for about five years.

“It’s not something you just start and then stop one week later,” she said.

A number of private gardens in Mt Somers were opened up to the public yesterday for people to enjoy in a bid to raise money.

The goal of the day was to raise money for the Old Post Office Library, which is volunteer run,

to buy new books and paint the outside of the building.

One of the organisers, Marguerite Murphy, said there were about 140 people who came for a look around the gardens.

A plant stall was also set up

and the library was open and inside people could buy Devonshire teas, which is scones with cream and jam.

Murphy said the gardens are maintained by amateur gardeners and the day was successful.

■ TINWALD PLAINS

Rental regime a killer, tenants say

From P1 “It would take away a whole heap of hassle for these groups if the rent, rates and perhaps the mowing costs were covered by council. Then the groups out there would only have to pay for their power and that’s fair and reasonable,” he said.

The other site occupiers are the Fire Service museum, the Model Railway group and the Woodworking Museum. The district’s vintage machinery group has indicated it also wants to establish a base in the area.

Fire Museum member Peter McQuarters agrees that the council should have a stronger role to play in supporting the precinct’s tenants, saying this occurred in many other parts of New Zealand.

His organisation currently pays only a nominal fee in rental but the new charging regime would see the committee facing a bill of between $1500 and $1800 a year, he said.

Trust member Brian Lester said the trust was focused on working with occupiers to devel-

op a fair way of sharing costs and it accepted this would always be a challenge for smaller volunteer groups.

By giving those groups a licence to occupy their site they had security for the future. It was also working with them on a development plan for, Lester said.

“We want to create this as more of a destination and ultimately this will help with costs,” he said.

The Plains Historic area is leased from the Tinwald Domain Board.

■ ULTRAFAST BROADBAND

Ashburton leading the way

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton was ahead of the rest of the country when it came to completing its ultrafast broadband roll-out and it’s leading the pack when it comes to numbers connecting to the new service.

Chorus completed its UFB rollout in Ashburton in March last year.

By the end of May, 1116 connec-

tions had been made; now there are 2300. And that, Chorus media spokesperson Nathan Beaumont says, means a 25 per cent uptake, slightly higher than the national average.

In May last year, Ashburton’s uptake was 12.8 per cent. It lagged behind Blenheim (16.9 per cent), Timaru, Palmerston North, Auckland and Dunedin.

Since that date fibre optic con-

■ SAMSUNG

nections nationally doubled from 105,000 to 220,000.

Across New Zealand, while there are still many areas where UFB is not available, the high speed connection rate now makes up 12 per cent of all connections.

While every property in urban Ashburton has access to ultrafast broadband, the Chorus network does not cover the entire rural area.

Thanks to local lines company EA Networks, however, many rural areas also have this option. When the lines company wanted to be able to access its service cabinets dotted around the district, it undertook its own cable laying programme.

Its cables created a new network across many parts of the district and the company made the high speed option available to rural

schools and many rural communities along the routes.

The cause to improve connectivity in rural parts of the district was also given a significant push by the Canterbury mayoral forum.

As part of a multi-pronged project that involved five mayors from five districts, access to the 4G network was improved and the speed of the fibre optic network spread stepped up.

■ DIWALI CELEBRATIONS

Air NZ bans fire-risk phones Air New Zealand has joined the swathe of airlines banning the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 mobile phone from flights over fears they can catch fire.

The ban came into force yesterday and the airline says they won’t be accepted in person, in carry-on luggage or checked luggage. Previously airlines allowed the phone on board if it was switched off.

Air NZ warned people should not bring them to the airport as there was nowhere to store them at check in. “Air New Zealand apologises to customers for any inconvenience, however, this is an Federal Aviation Authority and United States Department of Transportation safety requirement,” the airline said.

An emergency joint directive from the two US bodies banning the Note 7 on flights was issued on Friday (US time).

Qantas and Virgin Australia are also banning the phone on all flights. Ailitalia and Singapore Airlines have also issued a ban.

The battery of the Galaxy Note 7 has been known to catch fire, with its maker issuing a recall for 2.5 million devices.

Another successful Diwali celebration Balmoral Hall housed a number of Ashburton locals during Diwali celebrations on Saturday night.

Diwali is a festival of light and Balmoral Hall was lit up with fairy

lights and candles.

The night was put on by the Ashburton Indian Multicultural Society and has been run for the past nine years, to great success.

Performers and musicians took to the stage and danced and sang to keep guests entertained.

The first of the night’s entertainment was a group of drum-

Ashburton’s largest property management & rental properties available

mers who performed traditional music.

Guests were also treated to Indian food, cooked by members of the multicultural society.

■ MUDDY GOOD RUN

Event deemed a success

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Hundreds of very muddy men, women and children ran, crawled and slid through the course during this year’s Muddy Good Run yesterday.

The course in Rakaia offered contestants a run across the domain, the Rakaia riverbed and through private property as well as running through the pony club, before finishing back at the domain.

However, this wasn’t an ordinary run, contestants had to crawl under wire and cars, run up hills and down hills and scramble over obstacles, including horse jumps.

Event co-ordinator John Moore, who created the Muddy Good Run four years ago, said the day was a great success.

“The weather was absolutely perfect, couldn’t have asked for anything better, everyone enjoyed themselves,” he said.

Moore said there were 834 people who took part in the event.

He said people from all around the world participated, including entrants from Australia, Germany and Sweden.

The Muddy Good Run is held twice a year, with the first event held in Christchurch in April and the second held in October in Rakaia.

The overall male winner for the 5km was Roman Prazak in the 30-39 age category with a time

of 36:46, and in the female 5km it was Mary Orton, who competed in the 50-59 category, with a time of 40:21.

However, contestants weren’t judged just on their physical skills as many came dressed in a huge array of costumes to try and win the best dressed title.

Moore said they had people coming as Spiderman, lifeguards, Thingee One and Thingee Two and even people handcuffed together.

Hardie class action

The Hinds fire service are pleased with their new station at its official opening yesterday.

Hinds fire station open for business A new fire station in Hinds is taking the pressure off the community.

Twenty-six people turned up for yesterday’s official opening of the new Hinds fire station, which is making its way to being fully

self-sustainable. Hinds fire chief Dave Kingsbury said the new building and its guttering system meant the water tanks would be filled up by rainwater and the fire service would not have to rely on the community’s water supply.

He said they did not want to be a “burden” on the community.

The new station is a good improvement for the 18 volunteer firefighters and able to house two fire trucks, which is all they needed, Kingsbury said.

He said the station still needed to be improved slightly with an additional water tank to be installed.

Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel attended the opening to officially cut the ribbon.

The High Court has given permission for a leaky building representative class action to proceed against cladding maker James Hardie, says the action’s lawyers. Anyone wanting to join the action now has between two and 10 weeks to do so, says Dan Parker, of Parker & Associates.

“Opt-in periods range from 10, four and two weeks from the judgment date depending on the representative claim so there is a real urgency for those yet to opt in to get on board,” Mr Parker said. The action claims James Hardie was negligent in its design, manufacture and supply of the Harditex and Titanboard cladding systems. Mr Parker said 19 commercial owners have signed up for the Titanboard claim, and more than 60 for the Harditex claim.

Last year Mr Parker said more than 500 people had contacted them about potential claims.

Classic Days in Classic Cars

A Ford enthusiast’s dream Every week, the Guardian will be talking to Ashburton locals about the stories behind their classic, vintage, unique or interesting cars, in a series called Classic Days in Classic Cars. If you or anyone you know owns something that fits the bill, call Colin on 3077953 or 027 844-5544 or send through an email.

A

llen Moore’s Ford enthusiasm can be characterised by a 22-year career with the motor company and an original Ford V8 Fairmont.

The latter was purchased by Moore in May 2004, but he’d had his eye on it for some time.

The car was originally bought by an elderly man from Hutchison Ford, after he died it went back to the dealer which had since become Team Hutchison Ford.

Due to the man being elderly the car had been rarely driven.

The car was then purchased by someone Moore’s son knew.

When Moore eventually got the car it had just under 63,000km on the speedo.

Moore said he and the car recently shared a special number, as a few day after he turned 78 the car reached 78,000km.

The car was also the first model to feature a speedo in kilometres rather than miles.

Moore said the car has been used for a number of special occasions, including weddings and it always turned heads when he drove it.

“I’ve been offered some big money for it, but it ain’t for sale,” he said.

Although it’s a V8, the car is actually pretty good for fuel efficiency if it’s kept on low revs, he said.

The Fairmont took out consecutive prizes in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Westport All Ford Day. In 2008 it won best interior, for its perfect condition ivory upholstery, and in 2009 and 2010 it won best stock engine, which Moore said was because the only work done to it had been a repaint to keep the original blue.

Moore is also a member of the vintage car club and said his Ford Allen Moore sits on his original Ford V8 Fairmont which he purchased in May 2004. has a P-60 – P-80 classification.

■ STABBING

Man dies after stabbing in Glendene A 42-year old man has died following a stabbing incident in the West Auckland suburb of Glendene.

It was the second fatal stabbing in West Auckland at the weekend.

A woman also died as a result of stab wounds at a Te Atatu address on Saturday night.

A 36-year-old woman has been charged with her murder.

The Glendene incident happened at 9pm on Saturday night.

Police were called to an address on Hepburn Street and found a man in a critical condition following a dispute with a group of three or four people.

He was treated at the scene and transported to Auckland Hospital by ambulance where he later died.

Up to a dozen officers were investigating at the scene yesteday.

Three police tents have been erected and officers are clad in white and blue boiler suits.

Some officers appeared to examining some items of black clothing, including a black glove, that were strewn on the grass.

An open medic pack was next to the clothing.

Other officers appeared to be doing a “sweep” of the street, looking for items that might be related to the incident.

Hepburn Street is busy with passing traffic, and the property cordoned off is a few doors down from the Delegat’s winery property.

Drops of what appear to be blood can be seen on the footpath inside the cordon, which has closed one lane of the street.

What appears to be a knife is laying on the grass nearby.

Pokey a well-loved rabbit Pokey the mini lop-eared rabbit has many friends at Wakanui School.

The three-month-old rabbit is the school’s communal pet and lives in a hutch built from recyclable materials by students Tim, Samuel and Dylan.

The trio’s hutch was originally built to accommodate two, Pokey’s brother Hokey – but the

latter managed to escape on his first night.

No matter, says principal Hilary Boyce, having a pet is a learning experience.

The boys made some improvements to the hutch and Pokey has been there every morning since.

She said Pokey had become a much-loved member of the

school community. The boys said they taught the younger students how to hold him and took turns making sure he had enough food and water.

Pokey loves lettuce and grass, and will take the opportunity to nibble on school sweaters.

Boyce said the rabbit would be soon gaining some guinea pigs for companionship.

Singing may take Lucy around the world

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Looking back on 2016, Lucy Clough says it has been “kind of crazy”.

“But I love it, I don’t think I would do it any other way.”

The 18-year-old has been named as the recipient of this year’s Ashburton Musical Club $700 scholarship to put towards her singing studies.

Lucy is also a competitive swimmer, and has just recently returned from the national agegroup championships in which she received top 10 placings.

Her days begin at 5.45am, when she has to be at the pool for training. She then heads off to Ashburton College where she

is a Year 13 pupil, and squeezes in leadership duties, science tutoring, singing lessons and choir practice.

Her day also includes more swimming in the evening, musical instrument practice, and study at night.

Lucy is a member of the college’s Phoenix Chorus and Ashburton College Strings Group, which have performed at musical club concerts, and she has also sung in solo performances at the club.

Lucy has been accepted into the New Zealand Singing School, an 11-day course in Nelson in January, where she will receive tuition from some of the country’s top vocal tutors.

Currently she is studying towards an ATCL Performance Diploma, and in December plans to audition for the New Zealand Youth Choir, hoping for the opportunity to travel around the country and the world performing with other top singers from throughout the nation.

“It would be very cool,” Lucy said.

Inspiring her in her singing goals has been her tutor Jo Castelow, who has taught her for 11 years.

Next year Lucy plans to incorporate music papers into her study in health sciences at the University of Otago, hopefully leading towards a career in pharmacy.

Lucy plays the cello, double bass and piano.

“I love them all, I can’t really say I have a favourite,” she said.

And despite the obvious differences between her passions of swimming and music, the two had some similarities, Lucy said.

“You have to have the same work ethic for both, you have to be really determined and really good at time management because they are both so busy,” she said.

The Ashburton Musical Club also presented its $100 Grace Ackerley Award for a student showing promise in their chosen instrument, which went to Sam Kuipers.

Clown craze takes hold James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

T

he creepy clown craze that has spread around the world, even landing in New Zealand, has left many people terrified.

With their brightly painted faces, exaggerated features and over-sized clothes giving them the perfect disguise, this new craze has the capabilty to give even the steadiest of us the jitters.

Clowns aren’t inherently terrifying, most are comedic performers trying to entertain, but somewhere along the way this changed.

Even the words ‘clown’ and ‘clowning’ are used to describe silliness and nothing more menacing. The evil clown character emerged in the 1980s, most notably in Stephen King’s novel It, and has taken up a place in people’s nightmares ever since.

As a child I never had a problem with clowns, anyone trying to elicit a laugh was a winner in my books, but as I grew older the funny face and slapstick humour started to morph into something more sinister.

Because society associates clowns with the macabre, the recent clown sightings which began in the United States in August and spread to at least 10 other countries, is terrifying. Many of these sightings were more than just creepy with robberies, assaults and even a stabbings being reported.

There have now been hundreds of sightings in the US, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia and even here in New Zealand.

Two weeks ago the craze hit New Zealand with a clown scaring children at a Porirua School and two are believed to have attacked a woman in Hamilton while others have been seen in the University of Auckland library and at a Blenheim park.

Sales of clown costumes have also been rising on Trade Me and the incidents have led many costume stores in New Zealand to stop hiring out costumes in the hopes of curbing the clown mania ahead of Halloween.

Having the craze in our own backyard makes everything much more scary and while it isn’t expected to last, it has terrified hundreds.

Many clowns have voiced their concerns over what this craze is doing to their reputation as funloving and harmless comedians.

In the United Kingdom Zippos Circus even announced it would be pulling all clown acts from their shows due to the scary craze affecting ticket sales.

In whatever way to look at this new craze, intimidation is the aim.

We have enough problems in society without those intent on making others feel vulnerable for kicks.

ast week in my role as Minister for Communications I was involved in launching Connect Smart Week. This year the focus of Connect Smart Week was on equipping New Zealanders to be cyber secure at work.

New research conducted by Colmar Brunton found that 20 per cent of New Zealanders have been affected by cybercrime in the last year, and this figure rises to 72 per cent when spam and suspicious emails are included.

According to the research, 76 per cent of New Zealanders are proactively taking steps to manage their cyber security, which is great.

Disappointingly though, this result represents a decrease from the 84 per cent of New Zealanders who reported the same in 2014.

This seems to suggest a bit of complacency, which is concerning given the prevalence of cybercrime.

At a global cost of around $600 billion a year, cybercrime is now bigger than the global drugs

trade. All employers and employees should understand their role in protecting the information that belongs to their workplace.

This is particularly important with the trend for employees to work remotely and use multiple devices to access work-related information.

Disturbingly, however, only 17 per cent of New Zealanders say they have received training or advice about cyber security at work. This indicates that organisations across both the public and private sector need to take the opportunity to look at their cyber security practices and up their game.

Phishing emails and ransomware are increasing, and employees are the key to preventing

security incidents in the workplace.

It is imperative that New Zealanders are aware of cyber risks and take simple steps to protect themselves, including creating strong passwords, keeping a look out for suspicious, unsolicited emails, and thinking before they click.

Other results from the research show: • Awareness is high 91 per cent of New Zealanders have stopped and thought before clicking on links and attachments in emails in the past three months.

• Smart practice is slipping Compared to last year, fewer people are now updating or installing security software (64 per cent down from 70 per cent in 2015), changing passwords (63 per cent down from 68 per cent in 2015), ensuring they are using a secure connection (57 per cent down from 61 per cent in 2015), and checking their social media privacy settings (56 per cent

down from 60 per cent in 2015).

• Businesses need to step up Few people have sought advice (20 per cent) or received advice or training from their place of work (17 per cent).

• Lack of knowledge remains a barrier Taking steps to manage cyber security is held back by a lack of knowledge around what steps should be taken – 41 per cent of those who do not regularly take steps say this is a barrier to doing so (up from 32 per cent in 2014).

Those seeking help can find resources on how to be cyber smart online at Connect Smart (www.connectsmart.govt.nz) and Digital Journey (www.digitaljourney.nz).

Ensuring New Zealanders are safe, resilient and prosperous online is at the heart of the Government’s refreshed national Cyber Security Strategy. The strategy was launched in December 2015 with an action plan and a national plan to address cybercrime.

Three dead in gunfight Several suspects are still on the loose after three people were killed and 12 injured in a gunfight at a birthday party in Los Angeles.

The shooting occurred in the early hours of Saturday after an argument broke out at a party in a restaurant, broadcaster KABC said.

Police said that three individuals left the party, before returning with guns and opening fire.

Shots were also returned from party guests.

Detectives were searching for at least three suspects in the shooting, Peter Whittingham from the Los Angeles Police department said.

Police took into custody two “persons of interest” – a man and a woman – but neither has been formally arrested, the newspaper reported.

“We have street names for these suspects but we don’t who the killers are yet,” he said. “The people shot either don’t know the killers or aren’t telling us what they do know.”

Whittingham said it may have been more than a simple argument that erupted at the party, with police not ruling out a gang-related motive.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a statement about the incident, saying action needed to be taken “against (the) easy access to firearms and the thoughtless indiscriminate murderous use of them”.

“We cannot tolerate these tragedies multiplying in communities across America,” the statement said.

Wild winds wreak havoc Authorities have cancelled a severe weather warning for central parts of Victoria after trees and power lines were brought down by wild winds at the weekend.

Damaging winds, with gusts up to 110km/h, are still expected for parts of East Gippsland, North East and West and South Gippsland with wind gusts of 130km/h already recorded at Mt Hotham and 93km/h at Melbourne Airport.

The Bureau of Meteorology has cancelled an earlier severe weather warning for Central and North Central districts.

But emergency crews have a big clean-up ahead of them – especially in Melbourne’s outer east and southeast.

Ausnet had 642 customers affected by blackouts as of 11.30am yesterday, down from 1144 at 8am.

Worst affected areas include Toolangi and Chum Creek – mostly because of fallen tree limbs on power lines.

CHANGE YOUR

Those numbers pale in comparison to last week’s storms – which cut off power to 70,000 homes across the state.

The SES received more than 235 calls for assistance on Saturday, as winds up to 89km/h felled trees and damaged buildings. Already yesterday, they received another 99 calls – mainly in Melbourne’s southeast following reports of fallen trees and powerlines.

Disaster assistance has now been activated for a total of 48 councils across Victoria affected by floods and storms following last week’s wild weather.

Emergency relief payments, available through the jointly-funded Commonwealth-State Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangement, of up to $520 per adult and $260 per child are available to help meet immediate needs, including emergency food, shelter, clothing and personal items.

Angela Stone opens up

‘Mystery drug’ concerns Queensland paramedics

Angela Stone has further opened up about her family tragedy, recalling her mother’s death and brother’s disappearance “like it was yesterday”. “It was the coldest, greyest day in my life,” The Real Housewives of Auckland star told Woman’s Day. She spoke about her mother’s struggle with schizophrenia and anxiety, before she eventually took her own life in 2003. “I can remember exactly what I was doing and what time of day it was – and for as long as I live, I know I’ll never forget how it felt,” Stone said. “I had talked to mum the night before, the same way we did every night ... but I had a feeling. I knew something was up and I kept asking her, ‘are you ok?’” Stone’s second tragedy struck when her brother Carl was so deeply affected by their mother’s death that he disappeared later that year. Stone says she’s spoken to him on the phone a handful of times and seen him once, but “he just looked lost, gone” and eventually Stone had to accept that may not want to be found.

Queensland paramedics fear a mysterious new drug that causes severe hallucinations may be handed around at the annual schoolies celebrations.

Paramedics were called to treat seven patients in Surfers Paradise and one in Labrador on Saturday night, in what became the second round of cases.

A Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) spokesman said the patients were all suffering the same symptoms, including hallucinations, and paramedics were “very concerned” about the unknown product.

At least one of the patients had to be sedated before being taken to hospital.

The latest round of incidents followed another eight cases involving seven men and one woman suffering the same symptoms the previous night.

A group of three men in a Gold Coast high rise were “severely hallucinating” and jumping on furniture, while another patient was swimming in a canal.

QAS operations supervisor Paul Young warned unknown illicit drugs had the potential to be deadly.

“It’s a concern for QAS and any of the emergency services that, being so close to schoolies, these types of drugs are around out there and this is what happens if you take them,” he said on Saturday.

It also prompted a similar warning from police.

“No evidence of any criminal activity has been located at this stage and investigations are continuing into the source of the drugs believed to be involved,” a police spokesman said.

Olivia Wilde

Second baby for Wilde Olivia Wilde has welcomed her second baby. On Saturday the 32-year-old actress broke the news via Instagram that the child arrived on Tuesday. The beauty also shared a shot of the little girl she has named Daisy Josephine Sudeikis. This is her second child with fiancé Jason Sudeikis. ‘There goes the neighborhood,’ Wilde wrote. ‘Daisy Josephine Sudeikis. Born, like a boss, on #internationaldayofthegirl.’ The couple already has son Otis Alexander, aged two. In 2015 she told UsWeekly: “He’s so smart and just plays his piano all day long. He’s really musical, so we’re trying to encourage that.”

■ DENMARK

Whirl of a time in Legoland I

t’s at least 32 degrees Celsius on a late afternoon at Legoland in Billund, Denmark, home of the legendary plastic brick empire.

My wife and three boys are queuing for the Mini Boats ride for the third time today, while I selflessly guard the stroller (not strictly necessary, if I’m honest).

Beside me is a man, probably in his 50s, completely laid out on a bench with a cap over his face.

I don’t know who he is but, my goodness, I know exactly how he feels.

We’ve spent almost seven solid hours dashing from ride to ride, only really stopping for a late lunch. And, of course, our kids have absolutely loved every minute of it.

Between them, they’ve driven a fire engine, sailed inside a secret cave, taken a ride on Duplo train, fired water cannons at pirate ships, watched a 4D mini-movie, climbed a lighthouse, ridden on a dragon roller coaster, gained a “licence” at the Seat Driving School and ... well, loads more I’ve forgotten in a blur.

By any measure, this has been a grand day out – and we’ve spent relatively little of it queuing.

With the final boat ride done, we retreat to Hotel Legoland where we have a Kingdomthemed room (other options include Pirates, Friends and Ninjago).

Waking up next to the image of a beaming, yellow-faced knight is a stark reminder that you’re on a kids’ holiday. The rooms are covered with elaborate decals, and feature various brick-based furnishings and creations – in this case, burning torches on the wall, and a model owl and rat. I imagine relatively few guests here are on their honeymoon.

We start the new day by toasting our middle son’s fourth birthday with a bottle of “fizz” – well, a non-alcoholic strawberry drink which comes as part of the birthday package, along with a gift (a neat Legoland train) and card.

The room itself has been transformed with bunting, balloons and special bedding. At around £47 ($81) extra, the package isn’t cheap, but Dylan is made to feel pretty special.

Guests at the hotel are entitled to two days’ access to Legoland, so after making the most of the expansive buffet breakfast, we make the short walk down corridors, ready to enter the park bang on 10am.

Feeling a little like we are on a mad trolley dash, we sprint to the

While primarily designed for children, Legoland is sure to have something even the big kids can appreciate and enjoy.

4D ride in the new Ninjago World, and then onto Lloyd’s Laser Maze, in which you have to step through red laser beams, Mission Impossible-style. We manage to go twice, before queues begin to form.

By midday, we’ve been on 10 rides and attractions, but it’s time to drag ourselves away to go to Lalandia, a popular resort that is literally just across the road.

We have day-tickets for the Aquadome, Scandinavia’s largest waterpark – and, after a frantic day and a half at Legoland, it proves to be a welcome change of pace and scene.

Alex and Dylan, our two youngest, enjoy splashing around in the toddlers’ pool and bravely going down six-metre slides with little intervention, allowing us adults to take turns on the numerous water rides, including the exhilarating wild river (apparently the longest in Europe). After trying some of the rides himself, seven-year-old Oscar seems content going round and around the lazy river.

Sitting in the toddlers’ pool, I note how friendly and smiley everyone seems. And then remember that I’d put a bright yellow inflatable ring on my head.

Tired and hungry after a marathon six hours in the Aquadome, we head to nearby restaurant, Ristorante il Bambino. It’s part of the same complex at Lalandia, which also features bowling lanes and a softplay area.

Above us is an artificial sky with clouds painted on the ceiling.

Our fatigued kids find this a little confusing.

Not for the first time on the trip, conversation with my wife turns to the cost of food and drink.

There’s no denying that it can be expensive in Denmark, but our buffet dinner here is a semireasonable £24 ($41.50) for adults and £10 ($17.30) for kids. Drinks are pricey though – a “medium” Coke is a whopping £4.70 ($8.10).

There aren’t dozens of bar and restaurant options in Billund.

This is a small residential town

with just 6000 or so inhabitants, not a bustling city. The Lego HQ and factory dominates the area, but apparently, even most of its employees commute in from somewhere else.

Just 25km away is Givskud Zoo and an adjacent hostel, which is a great option if you’re looking to keep down the cost of your stay.

Givskud is actually part zoo, part safari and part dinosaur park. Our kids enjoy driving among lions, elephants and giraffes, watching gorillas being fed, petting goats, getting up close to lemurs and then walking among 40 life-sized dinosaur models.

“It’s nice to see dinosaurs in their natural habitat,” remarks Oscar. Rather than the oppressive captivity of the Natural History Museum, presumably.

Together, Legoland, Lalandia and Givskud Zoo form a triumvirate of hugely compelling attractions around Billund (combo tickets for all three are available).

don’t really need a hire car but, of course, it’s great having the option to explore.

We spend our final night at the popular Ribe Byferie holiday village, about an hour’s drive from Billund. Ribe is Denmark’s oldest town and extremely picturesque, with a beautiful cobbled centre, and gorgeous shops and restaurants.

Our kids are a little young to appreciate local Viking history, but enjoy staying up to follow the town’s night watchman, as he gives a tour of the area and tells stories of yore.

If we’d had the time, we would have loved to explore Ribe on bicycle and maybe even try canoeing but, sitting at the swish Billund airport, we reflect on what has been a fun-filled, actionpacked few days.

The kids, meanwhile, are eyeing up the airport’s solitary toy shop.

It only sells one brand of toy. No prizes for guessing what it is.

Hansen helps Brethren

Meads Cup dream gone

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen and Victoria Cross recipient Willie Apiata were guest speakers for thousands of Exclusive Brethren at an Auckland conference this week.

Their presence at the business conference has been called “unprecedented”, as Brethren cannot play team sport and are encouraged not to associate with “worldly” people. The event, named “Game Plan 2016” was held at Auckland’s Vector Arena and cost $2415 to attend both days Hansen and Apiata spoke. Hansen had just returned from South Africa with the All Blacks before speaking.

Mid Canterbury’s Meads Cup aspirations have been dashed following a frustrating afternoon at the Alpine Energy Stadium in Timaru on Saturday.

The Hammers were downed 14-0 by a well-drilled South Canterbury side.

Mid Canterbury dominated in possession and territory but South Canterbury’s defensive display was exemplary.

The home side took the lead in the sixth minute through hooker Junior Faavae following a prolonged period of pressure.

The trusty boot of Willie Wright then claimed the extras from the conversion for an 8-0 lead.

South Canterbury were then reduced to 14 as John Dyer was sent to the bin before halfback Nick Annear followed the No.8.

But Mid Canterbury failed to

make their numbers count as South Canterbury’s defence frustrated the Hammers’ faithful.

Mid Canterbury continued to bang on the door for the remainder of the half but could not cross the line.

Wing Maxx Morrison then added South Canterbury’s second try of the encounter, but Wright failed to convert.

Mid Canterbury continued to attack as first five Jarred Percival and wing Seta Koroitamana came close, but it wasn’t to be.

South Canterbury must be commended for their fine defensive display to book a Meads Cup semi-final berth and claim the Hanan Shield.

Following the loss, Mid Canterbury’s Meads Cup hopes rested on the result of Wairarapa-Bush and East Coast’s evening encounter in Masterton.

Steelers deliver Canterbury a timely wake-up call

By CampBell Burnes The Steelers have sailed into the Mitre 10 Cup Premiership semifinals with a withering second

half display against the defending champs in Pukekohe.

The four try blitz, after two games without their offensive mojo, was achieved not via the

conventional manner of using the stiff breeze, but through their usual run and gun game which rocked Canterbury. The visitors looked strangely off colour on attack,

mainly due to 14 handling errors.

“A lot of that (second half) was down to that first half defence,” said Steelers coach Darryl Suasua, who acknowledged that Canter-

bury will be a very different side in personnel and mindset should they face them again in the semis.

It was also their first victory over Canterbury since 1998. - NZME

In round two, Lauriston continued their success but had a tougher battle against Tech as they lost six wickets in their chase.

Tech set a meagre total after they were bowled out for 71 in 15 overs and could not contain Lauriston who chased them down in the 18th over with four wickets left.

Allenton had a strong start to their season against Coldstream as Ryan Bell smashed 115 off 60 to put his team into the commanding position of 180/5 after 20 overs.

Coldstream could not keep up with Allenton’s run rate as they fell 60 runs short in their chase and finished on 120/7.

Sydney FC claim A League title favouritism The A-League has its early title favourites, now the long wait is on for a blockbuster round 10 clash when Melbourne City and Sydney FC meet to decide whose case is stronger.

No other side has neared the class and utter ruthlessness displayed by the two glamour clubs in the opening two rounds.

Sydney’s back-to-back 4-0 floggings of Western Sydney and Central Coast have them at the top of the table on goal difference from second-placed City, whose 4-1 Melbourne derby whitewash has to be seen to be believed in much the same fashion as Tim Cahill’s preposterous goal.

There was only a slim possibility that Cahill, the figurehead of the marketing campaign, could match the enormous expectations surrounding his longawaited debut in the league.

That the Socceroos’ all-

time leading scorer exceeded them has already gone along way toward paying for the mega-money investment, the 36-year-old describing his audacious 35m half-volley as being “up there” with the best goals of his career.

It sets up the season’s first clash between Sydney FC and Melbourne City, at ANZ Stadium on Friday, December 9, as a mouthwatering encounter, though both sides have been keen to keep a lid on expectations.

City midfielder and man of the match Luke Brattan agreed with coach John van `t Schip’s assessment that “championships are not won in the first two games”.

Yet he was not surprised at the way his team ripped crosstown rivals Melbourne Victory to shred in a performance coach Kevin Muscat labelled an “embarrassment”.

“If you look at our squad and the pre-season we’ve had, we’re very confident in ourselves,” said Brattan, who scored City’s third goal.

“We’ve got lots of talented players, we’re extremely fit and I think that showed.”

The Sky Blues were up against lesser opposition in the battling Mariners, yet the ease with which Graham Arnold’s men disposed of them suggested that they could comfortably lift several more notches when required.

“I don’t think it was our best performance, but to still win pretty comfortably when you’re not playing your best was a good sign,” right-back Rhyan Grant said.

“It’s early doors but we can be pretty happy with our start to the season.”

Paul Okon’s reinvented Mari-

ners dominated possession but spent most of it dallying inside their own half, a smattering of schoolboys errors soon leading to self-destruction.

Last season’s wooden-spooners have just a point to show for their first two games, but there is promise that more improvement will come as the team familiarise themselves with Okon’s fluid game philosophy.

The Wanderers, humiliated by their record Sydney derby drubbing, picked themselves off the floor to beat reigning champions Adelaide United in Friday night’s grand-final rematch.

Brendon Santalab came off the bench to bag a brace, including an injury-time winner minutes after laying a crunching challenge on Reds midfielder James Holland for which the super-sub was lucky not to be sent off.

Manchester City have been held to a 1-1 draw as Maarten Stekelenburg saved penalties from Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero, while Arsenal joined them on top of the Premier League yesterday.

Romelu Lukaku gave the visitors a shock second-half lead when Yannick Bolasie flicked on a long ball from deep into the Belgian’s path and he stormed forward from halfway, outpaced Gael Clichy and slammed a firm low shot past Claudio Bravo.

After De Bruyne saw his penalty saved just before half-time, Aguero experienced the same feeling after 70 minutes.

The Argentina striker missed two spot-kicks in one game against Steaua Bucharest earlier in the season and another for his country in midweek.

Stekelenburg was at it again moments later, clawing out another Aguero effort, but he was finally beaten when Nolito, on for Sane, headed home a Silva cross with his first touch after 72 minutes.

Bob Bradley’s first game as Swansea manager ended in defeat as his side were narrowly beaten by 10-man Arsenal in an entertaining clash at the Emirates Stadium. The Swans had won there on their previous two visits and had not lost away to Arsenal in over five years but, despite threatening a comeback, they succumbed to a 3-2 loss that sent the Gunners level with Manchester City at the top of the table.

Theo Walcott was all-but gifted a brace to put Arsenal in charge but Granit Xhaka, who would later be sent off by referee Jon Moss, handed possession to Gylfi Sigurdsson to bring Bradley’s side back into the game.

Mesut Ozil restored Arsenal’s two-goal cushion with a well-taken volley but a first Swansea goal for record signing Borja Baston kept things nervy for the Gunners, who played with 10 men for the final 20 minutes after Xhaka was shown a straight red card for bringing down the impressive Modou Barrow.

Tottenham are just a point behind in third place but missed the chance to go top of the table after needing Dele Alli to rescue a late point at West Brom.

The England midfielder struck an 89th-minute equaliser to clinch a 1-1 draw after Nacer Chadli looked to have condemned his former club to defeat just seven minutes previously.

Earlier, Diego Costa scored his seventh Premier League goal of the season as Chelsea claimed a 3-0 win over champions Leicester at Stamford Bridge.

Bournemouth were the big winners of the day as they thumped Hull 6-1, while Joe Allen’s scoring streak continued as his double in a 2-0 win gave Stoke a first Premier League victory of the season over winless Sunderland.

Fairton, Tinwald in a thriller

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Allenton, Hampstead and Fairton took wins in their respective open grade interclub ties at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on Saturday.

Fairton claimed a 7 set to 6 victory over Tinwald in a tightly contested affair.

The Tinwald doubles team of Josh Feutz and Andre Van Rooyen toppled Fairton’s Connor Brosnahan and Peter Leonard 2-6,

6-4 (10-4) but Philip Crozier and Mary-Anne Martin returned fire for Fairton with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Dallas Scott and Mathieu Lucas.

In the singles, Feutz proved too good on the day for Brosnahan to secure a 6-1, 6-1 win and Van Rooyen added to Tinwald’s tally by downing Leonard 6-4, 6-1.

But Tyler Leonard and Crozier then beat Scott 6-3, 6-4 and Lucas 6-2, 6-2 respectively as Fairton secured the win.

Allenton’s victory over Southern was more convincing.

Reigning Gala Cup champion Rhys Cromie and Andres Gomez took wins over Tessa McCann 6-1, 6-0 and Edwin Dargue 6-1, 6-2 in their singles ties, while Nicholas Thomassen saw off Erin Connelly-Whyte 6-1, 6-2.

Oliver McKeown recorded Southern’s only singles victory by downing Maisie Looij 6-4, 6-3.

Hampstead also took a win

with a 4-2 downing of Methven.

Hampstead won both doubles encounters with Aidan Mitchell and Tony Brosnahan defeating Flynn Ness and Jarrad Hill 7-6 (6), 6-4 and Mary-Anne Thyne and Jade Brosnahan beating Sophie Ness and Isabelle Talbot 6-0, 6-3.

Victories for Flynn Ness, Hill, Sophie Ness and Isabelle Talbot in the singles saw the score through to 4 matches to 2 in favour of the Hampstead side.

Ferns powerless to stop rampant Diamonds By dana Johannsen From upstarts to upstaged.

The Silver Ferns experienced the full force of a wounded Australian side at Vector Arena on Saturday night, as the Diamonds rampaged to another 12-goal win to all but wrap up the Constellation Cup for a fourth-straight year.

It was the fightback the Silver Ferns knew was coming but were powerless to stop.

After they “poked the bear” with a shock 53-51 win over the Diamonds in Wednesday night’s second test, Australian returned to the form shown in their 6856 demolition in last weekend’s opener in Sydney.

They were brutal on defence, clinical through the midcourt and calm and composed in the shooting circle.

The result extended the Silver Ferns’ winless run on home soil to seven matches, having not recorded a win at home against the Diamonds since the opening test of the 2013 Constellation Cup in Invercargill.

The Ferns had high hopes of breaking their drought in front of a sold-out crowd at Vector Arena after their efforts in Launceston.

But they were unable to find the same spark they had in game two, as their attack end wilted under a ferocious defensive effort from the Diamonds, led by Sharni Layton and Gabi Simpson.

Caitlin Bassett At the other end, Caitlin Bassett was once again the star of the show for Australia, breaking her all-time highest tally for the second time this season.

Incredibly, Bassett’s individual tally of 55 goals was higher than the Ferns’ collective score of 50.

Ferns coach Janine Southby said

the most disappointing aspect of her side’s performance was their failure to match the Diamonds’ increased physical intensity having highlighted it as an area in which they may be targeted.

“They really stepped up the pressure on us on the body and I don’t think we were able to cope with that at times,” she said.

“I think we lost our connections on attack.

“You could see at times we either got on top of one another or got really isolated so there’s certainly work to do in that area.”

The Ferns will now head to Invercargill knowing it will take a miraculous result to wrestle the Constellation Cup away from Australia.

Andy Ruiz Junior has expressed supreme confidence in his ability to beat Kiwi Joseph Parker in a potential world title fight in Auckland in December. However, in a potential blow to Parker’s hopes and those of his supporters in New Zealand and further afield, the bout will remain in doubt until after the World Boxing Organisation’s fiveday convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which starts tonight. The fight will not go ahead if the WBO decide to make it an elimination bout for the organisation’s heavyweight title.

Support for Foran It would be wrong for the NRL to block Kieran Foran’s return to rugby league and prevent the Warriors recruit from getting his life back on track, says his new team-mate Shaun Johnson.

Johnson, who is a close mate of Foran’s, said the Manly title winner deserves the chance to turn his life around. “If they (the NRL) are genuine about helping someone get their life back on track I don’t see how they can really stop him playing footy in New Zealand,” Johnson said.

Lydia in form slump It might seem strange to suggest for a golfer who has won four tournaments this year and finished in the top 10 13 times but Lydia Ko’s ‘slump’ continues. yesterday the world No 1 carded a 1-over 73 at the Hana Bank Championship in South Korea to be 1-over for the tournament after three rounds and is in a share of 45th, 13 shots behind leader Alison Lee. It is now three months since her last tournament win – the Marathon Classic – which is a long time for someone of Ko’s success and consistency and her lead over Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn in the Race to the CME Globe is less than 140 points. Ko won the title, which is a season-long points competition, in 2015.

Kiwis found wanting

By DaviD Skipwith Kiwis coach David Kidwell admits he made some fundamental errors and suffered a rude awakening in his first international assignment in Saturday’s 26-6 trans-Tasman test defeat to Australia in Perth.

Three weeks into the job after being named as former Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney’s successor, Kidwell accepted responsibility for the side’s misfiring forward pack and poor set completions in the five-tries-to-one rout at Nib Stadium.

Kidwell admits he mishandled the side’s forward interchange rotation and insisted he did not intend on damaging lock Jason Taumalolo spending the majority of the second-half on the sidelines.

The 39-year-old former Kiwis back-rower intends on formulating a clearer game plan that would better utilise the side’s strengths and get the best out of

halfback Shaun Johnson ahead of their opening Four Nations encounter against England on October 30 (NZT). “(I) Just some basic fundamental errors that people don’t usually make,” Kidwell said.

“I’m only three weeks into the job and very disappointed in the result yes.

“But the way we prepared, the culture that we’re trying to instill in these guys, I couldn’t be happier that way.

“Yes we have to fix some stuff at training and we’ve addressed that as a team and as a senior leadership group.

“I’ve got to look at some stuff as a new coach myself and make sure that we move forward and get it right for what is going to be the opening test of the Four Nations against England.”

The Kiwis were starved of possession and territory during the opening quarter but restricted Australia to two tries and an 8-0 lead before Kevin Proctor crossed

to help narrow the margin to two at halftime.

Recalled prop Jared WaereaHargreaves was limited to just four runs in his first test in three years and captain Jesse Bromwich and Taumalolo also struggled to impose themselves against an efficient and relentless Kangaroos forward pack.

After working themselves back into the match the Kiwis then lapsed badly in the third quarter and struggled for go-forward and momentum with Kidwell admitting he erred in keeping Taumalolo and Bromwich off for extended periods.

“The rotation for me was a big learning curve and I didn’t intend on that happening like that,” he said. “We’ll sit down as a coaching staff and have a look at that and, obviously, one of those points is making sure that JT (Taumalolo) is playing a bit more time and make sure that that doesn’t happen again.

“I’ll take full responsibility for

that but I’ve got to learn from that and moving forward making sure that that doesn’t happen again.”

Johnson has worn much of the blame for the side’s ineffective attack, with the Warriors playmaker preferring to launch set moves through a deep backline rather than playing on the advantage line.

Kidwell defended Johnson’s play and believes unrealistic expectations are often placed on his shoulders but conceded improvements could be made to how they finish their sets.

“We’ll have a look at those fifth tackle options,” said Kidwell.

“He’s a guy who sees stuff that other people don’t see. We’ve just got to make sure we’re communicating, make sure that we’ve got a good game plan around him so that he can play his best football.”

Kidwell is adamant the Kiwis will improve in the coming weeks as they build cohesion throughout their Four Nations title defence.

First Serve gives rivals a pasting Talented mare First Serve continued on her winning way when she simply smashed her rivals in Saturday’s Half The Asset sponsored open 1200 metre contest at Ashburton.

Sent out a warm favourite by the punters, the Michael and Matthew Pitman-trained mare gave her rivals a galloping lesson as she extended powerfully in the home straight to cruise home by three quarters of a length and record her fifth career victory.

Such was the contempt that she showed for her rivals, rider Samantha Wynne had the luxury of riding the mare hands and heels over the last 300 metres of the contest.

“I was very confident she would win as she had improved since her first-up run and had the conditions well in her favour,” noted Michael Pitman.

“It was only her sixth lifetime start so I’m also confident there is plenty of improvement left in her.

“She really only does what she has to which is why Sam gave her one flick with the whip when she went up to challenge just to keep her mind on the job.”

Pitman was also happy enough with the unplaced runs of the stable’s other two representatives in the event with neither Kinagat nor El Chico appreciating the give in the Ashburton surface that saw the track rated a Dead 5 for the day.

“Kinagat needs a good track to show his best so I’m prepared to forgive him for that one,” he said.

“It was a typical second-up sort of performance but we know on a firm track he is far better than what he showed on Saturday.

“El Chico also did what we expected as he needed the race and will strip fitter next time.”

First Serve and Kinagat will clash again twice next month when they contest the Yesberg Insurance Services Pegasus Stakes (1000m) on the first day of the New Zealand Cup Carnival at Riccarton on 5 November, followed by the Gr. 3 Lindauer Stewards Stakes (1200m) four days later.

Smolda smokes ‘em

In brief

Tim Williams and the All Stars stable scored a notable victory in the Methven Cup yesterday with Smolda giving his rivals a pacing lesson.

Mossdale Connor (Ricky May) had taken the lead early off Seel The Deal (Matt Williamson), and handed up when Smolda came around with a mile to go.

Smolda then held out all challengers down the straight to record an impressive victory.

Oh so easy for Spratt Few feature race wins come more easily than Scapolo’s victory romp at Rotorua in the hands of Sam Spratt. Neither horse nor rider were blowing after they coasted home in the Sweynesse Stakes by four and a half lengths on Saturday. “It really was as easy as it looked,” Spratt said.

“It’s pretty cool to ride a horse like him – it makes life a whole lot easier.”

Jameka eyes double He fell for Jameka the moment he saw her and now Ciaron Maher believes the mare can win him the Caulfield Cup-Melbourne Cup double. The favourite raced away to win Saturday’s $3 million Caulfield Cup and Maher is convinced she can repeat the feat on the first Tuesday in November. “There’s no reason why she can’t,” Maher said after the biggest win of his career.

She’s in great form. Why couldn’t she?”

Top jockeys outed Craig Williams and Blake Shinn will miss the Cox Plate meeting at Moonee Valley after being suspended at Caulfield. Williams was suspended following his ride on Real Love in the Caulfield Cup while Shinn was banned for his ride on Moqueen in the Ethereal Stakes.

Racing Victoria stewards suspended Williams for 12 meetings on a careless riding charge. He will miss the ride on Hauraki in next Saturday’s Cox Plate.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You have big dreams and the passion to match. It’s why you show up early, stay late and do whatever else it takes to complete this (rather challenging) step.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): If you’re concerned about meeting expectations or being good enough, don’t worry. You’re the one who will set up the expectation. Put it where you want it, and then deliver more.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): To ask for help from the right people, the ones who are in a position to give it – there is some research to be done. Start with who you know, and work your way toward who you want to know.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Forgetful? Write it down.

Procrastinating? Set a timer. Distracted?

Lock the door, turn off the Wi-Fi, and get down to business. Today’s best solutions will be simple, elegant and obvious.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There are two reasons to cross things off your to-do list – because they are done or because they will never be done.

Forces will collude to help you get more realistic about what you truly want.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Due to recent changes and new influences, there are a lot of thoughts zinging around today. But should you really be thinking about what to think? How about you reason it out on paper instead?

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Claiming oneself as the centre of reality is a sure way to gain the contempt of others. You do the opposite, centring your life on the service of your loved ones, and you gain their undying devotion.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You can’t stop time, but you can slow it with your mind, keep it from slipping through your fingers, cling to it as it passes. Hang on tight. These moments are worth noting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): What about when it doesn’t add up? What about when there is a deficit no one can reconcile? If it’s not happening, it’s not. What to do next?

Nothing – except the one step you take now.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): This was all just a dream; that’s the way you’ll think about it.

People with more of a handle on the rules will show you the inside workings, and you’ll be able to choose what to do next.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your way will work, but it’s not the best you can do. Get help; reach out. Use your current projects as an excuse to get to expand your network. There are people out there you really need to know.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ll be surprised by how much joy you can extract from your obligations, especially when they involve your community. Work the phone today.

Your gift of gab is stellar.

Sport Appeal ‘un-Australian’ Supercars boss James Warburton has slammed the protest that could have robbed Will Davison and Jonathan Webb of this year’s Bathurst 1000 as “un-Australian”. The Confederation of Australian Motorsport officially crowned the pair Mount Panorama kings after Red Bull’s appeal was dismissed. Hitting out at Red Bull after the team failed to have Jamie Whincup’s 15-second penalty overturned, Warburton declared the team had “threatened the integrity of the sport” by attempting to win Australia’s greatest race in a courtroom.

No messing around Gareth Hunt in action during Ashburton College’s two-wicket victory over Christchurch Boys’ High School Colts.

College takes a thriller Ashburton College’s 1st XI started the season with a nail-biting two wicket victory over Christchurch Boys’ High School’s Colts on at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday.

After winning the toss and sending the visitors into bat, opening bowler Josh Buchanan picked up former local Thomas

Schmack in the second over to a fine catch by Gareth Hunt.

The Colts then lost wickets at regular intervals, while another local Archie Redfern, managed 22 for them before they were all out for 96.

Buchanan finished with two wickets, Hunt picked up three, Sam Hall nailed two and Con-

nor O’Grady grabbed one.

There were also two fine runouts.

College’s chase didn’t start too well, losing Tom Ravenscroft in the first over and Hall, Josh Gill and Liam O’Connor in the second.

Hunt and Will Graham steadied the ship, however.

Graham went on to anchor the innings with 54 as College chased down the target in the 37th over.

Bowlers Buchanan and Jarod Hopwood finished the game with a few lusty blows while Redfern was the best of the Colts bowlers with four wickets.

Meninga joins ‘protect Thurston’ chorus Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has renewed calls for superstar playmaker Johnathan Thurston to be offered better protection by referees.

Thurston was collared early in a high tackle by Kiwis enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves in Australia’s 26-6 in Perth on Saturday night.

The Australian five-eighth was smashed soon after in a border-

line tackle by Martin Taupau.

North Queensland coach Paul Green has been at pains to point out questionable tactics used in targeting his premiership-winning pivot.

And Meninga has brought the issue to a head again ahead of the Four Nations starting later this month.

“He is the best player in the game and he is always going to

have a target on him,” Meninga said. “Every game he plays he knows he is going to cop it left, right and centre in club footy, Origin or test footy but he just gets up.

“That’s why he is such a champion player.

“More than anything else he is such a tough player.”

Former Queensland coach Meninga did question the legal-

Lionel Messi scored within three minutes of returning to action for the first time in over three weeks to help fire La Liga champions Barcelona to a resounding 4-0 home win over Deportivo La Coruna yesterday.

Substitute Messi latched on to a through ball from the Brazilian to stroke the ball high into the net in the 58th. Messi is expected to return to the starting lineup for Wednesday’s mouth-watering Champions League game against Manchester City.

ity, or otherwise, of tactics opposition sides employed to shut down Thurston.

“As long as it is within the legitimate rules of the game,” he said.

“I think Jared’s tackle should have been put on report.

“He is OK, JT, but it has to be within the rules.

“He is as tough and resilient as they come.”

Cycle champ retires Announcing her retirement, Australian cycling great Anna Meares has revealed she needed six cortisone injections through her spine to compete at the Rio Olympics. The 33-yearold Meares said yesterday she had decided to end her stellar career, highlighted by two gold medals from four Olympic campaigns and 11 world championship titles. “Obviously a lot of people will be wondering where I am going to post-Rio. With some time in reflection I have decided that I am actually going to retire,” she said.
