Four injured in head-on crash

Four people had to be extracted from their vehicles following a head-on collision which closed State Highway One near Dromore on Saturday.

A north-bound and south-bound vehicle collided near the intersection of Dromore Methven Road about 6.10am, leading to the road being shut for more than six hours.

Two seriously injured patients were airlifted to Christchurch Hospital by Westpac Rescue Helicopter and two moderately injured were transported by ambulance, also to Christchurch. Yesterday all were in a stable condition.

Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade

chief Alan Burgess said the crash resulted in the front of the two vehicles, which were both SUVs, being “demolished”.

“When you look at the end result of the vehicles being relatively modern vehicles, and of the type they were, they held up extremely well, but it’s been a pretty extreme crash,” Burgess said.

Firefighters at the scene operated extraction equipment to cut into both vehicles and provide access to the victims.

Police said the accident was being investigated by the Serious Crash Unit, so they were not in a position to comment on the cause. The crash added to a horror weekend on the roads in Canterbury, which saw two 16-year-olds killed in a head-on crash near Amberley yesterday.

Saturday was particularly bad in Mid Canterbury, with there being two other crashes besides the one at Dromore.

At about 4.30am Ashburton firefighters responded to a one-vehicle crash at Wilsons Road, Elgin, where the vehicle had rolled. St John transported one patient with minor injuries to Ashburton Hospital.

At about 1.40pm both Hinds and Ashburton firefighters responded to a minor two-vehicle crash at Hinds. Each car had just one occupant, and St John reported one of the drivers refused medical assessment at the scene. The other driver was assessed, and was deemed to have minor injuries, but refused transport to hospital.

■ ORIGINAL GYPSY FAIR

High costs end fair’s visits to Ashburton

Andrew Falloon

BY KATIE TODD

■ POLITICS

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

“Constantly increasing” council-imposed fees have brought visits from the Original Gypsy Fair to a bitter end – but the council say what they were charged was nothing unreasonable.

After more than 25 years visiting Ashburton, organisers of the nationwide travelling fair say this weekend was their last in our town as they can no longer afford to park in the domain.

Owner Jim Banks said the cost of Ashburton Domain is “well up” on anything else in New Zealand, and continues to increase every year.

“We won’t be coming back because it’s just unaffordable now.”

Field manager Gavin MacKenzie said he also couldn’t understand how the ground rate increases were justified when the domain has barely changed in his 17 years visiting with the fair.

“I mean, the lawn’s going to get mowed whether we are here or not,” he said.

The Ashburton District Council reported that the Original Gypsy Fair were charged $350 a night including power and water along with $1300 in bond which is returned without any damage to the domain. They were also liable for a $75 licencing and activities fee on the days that they traded.

However, open spaces manager David Askin said “if they have about 20 trucks or buses that ground rent works out to about $17.50 for each of them – which doesn’t seem unreasonable, including power and water”.

He also said he did not recall any increases in the fees over the past few years.

“If we do ever put it up it’s just for inflation, so no more than 2 per cent or so.”

MacKenzie said the council should consider the widespread benefits of visits from the Original Gypsy Fair, which is free entry and “certainly popular” among local families.

“When you look at what we inject into town – we fuel up here, buy our groceries at the supermarket, dine at your cafés and restaurants, some stay at your motor camps … we’re pouring money into the economy. And then there’s all the people we drag into town from places like Fairlie and Rakaia, and they’ll go on to use your cafes and supermarkets ... but

Falloon part of US programme Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon flew to the United States on Saturday night as part of a US State Department sponsored programme.

“Every year the American Council of Young Political Leaders invites a small number of young leaders from around the world to travel to the United States to examine their political system, explore governance, policy making and bilateral relations, and discuss points of difference.

“I’ll travel to Northern California, where I’m interested to look at how smaller centres have developed without being caught in the shadow of larger neighbours, and to Washington DC. There’s been a fair amount of turbulence in US politics in recent times, and I’m keen to see how we might avoid that here,” Falloon said.

The programme is fully funded by the US State Department, with support from labour unions and businesses.

Participants are identified as being “demonstrated leaders with future potential”.

Also taking part in the programme, which runs for eight days, are fellow National MPs Chris Bishop and Erica Stanford, Green MP Chloe Swarbrick and Labour MP Tamati Coffey.

The last time MPs from New Zealand went was 2015.

Elijah Rangi, 6, tried his hand at blowing massive bubbles at the Original Gypsy Fair on Saturday.

PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 170318-RH-121 now other places are just screaming out for us to come and visit them instead.”

However, Askin said the fair did not have to stay in the Ashburton Domain, which he described as a “premium site”.

“Nowhere else in New Zealand can you set up on the corner of State Highway 1.”

MacKenzie said over the years, the fair had considered other locations in Ashburton to set up. But the ground at Mona Square proved too soft and Borough School’s field was too far out-of-the-way to attract crowds.

Organisers believed the same problem would occur if they were to use the Ashburton Racecourse.

“We rely on people driving past and seeing us and going ‘ooh, a fair’, because we’re not allowed to put up our placards here either,” he said. “I remember the time at the Borough School, I ended up with only $20 for my

weekly shop with my family. I keep my shooting gallery at $5 – and I haven’t put up that price in 12 years – because it’s you know, for families. It’s not exactly Disney on Ice.” From Ashburton, the Original Gypsy Fair is heading to Oamaru and Dunedin.

Data from the Waitaki District Council website shows a ground rent of around $260 a night in Oamaru’s Orana Park, and fee lists from the Dunedin City Council shows a ground rent of $471 per day at the Oval.

The gypsy fair have also visited South Brighton, where Christchurch City Council charge around $255 for a day’s commercial event hire with less than 5000 people.

But the most recent Ashburton visit was “really the end of an era, sadly”, Banks said.

“It’s a shame because we did like coming to Ashburton. The cost is the only drawback,” MacKenzie said.

■ METHVEN A&P SHOW

Showgoers brave the cold

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Cold weather did not deter exhibitors and visitors to the Methven A&P Show on Saturday.

Despite the sun not revealing itself all day, and temperatures staying in the low teens, gate takings were up on last year.

Last year it rained and gate takings were cut by one third.

President Andrew Griffiths said he was pleased to report gate takings back up to normal levels, and thousands of exhibitors and visitors flocking to the show.

“We were all delighted at the end of the day, we had some really good feedback.”

Highlights were many and included the gift sheep and calf auctions with stock fetching good market prices, shearers emerging as contenders for upcoming championships, and Mullet Man getting plenty of laughs as he performed to crowds young and old.

Horse entries were at normal levels despite Horse of the Year taking some would-be entrants to the North Island, and equestrians had been impressed and gave good feedback on presentation of the ring.

As ever, the animal shed was a hit, with all creatures great and small, including a litter of labra-

dor puppies maxing out on cuddle time with visitors.

“It was just something that helps bring the town folk and the rural folk together, and enjoying the day together,” Griffiths said.

Among winners at the show was first time home industries pavilion entrant Grant King. The Methven A&P committee member had entered in the men’s pikelets, a class revived after no entries last year.

“I was coaxed into entering because there was a bit of a focus from the committee, brought on

by Ben Streeter, who came second,” King said.

By all accounts, Streeter had been quite disappointed, but King was not letting that spoil his enjoyment of victory, and he felt “very honoured and privileged” to have won.

It was the first time he had made pikelets for “a very, very long time”, and it took many trial runs with a recipe from Edmonds cookery book. Not that wife Denise and their four children were complaining, as they had enjoyed leftovers from the many dud runs.

King said he had ultimately mastered the right technique, which had involved getting the fry-pan temperature just right, and adopting a nifty flipping style.

Methven A&P Association committee member Grant King was victorious after winning in the men’s pikelets class.

■ SMOKEFREE LEGISLATION

■ VERTICAL PURSUIT

Smokefree warning to licensed premises

Top jump for McCartney

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The Ministry of Health is reminding Mid Canterbury bar and restaurant owners to take note of smokefree legislation, following filing charges against an Ashburton premises.

The ministry has filed charges, in the Ashburton District Court, against the licensee of an Ash-

burton bar and restaurant, for failure to take reasonable steps to prevent patrons from smoking in an internal area.

Ministry chief legal advisor Phil Knipe said smokefree enforcement officers around the country regularly monitored licensed premises to ensure they were compliant with the Smokefree Environments Act 1990.

“Where there is sufficient evidence of a breach and a prosecution is in the public interest, the ministry may file charges,” Knipe said.

“Bars and restaurants must take reasonable steps to ensure that patrons do not smoke in an area on their premises which is ‘substantially enclosed’.”

The Smokefree Environments

Act 1990 requires all internal areas of workplaces, licensed premises and certain public enclosed premises to be smoke-free.

Smoking is only legally permitted in open areas, however employers and proprietors may choose to prohibit smoking in these areas as well. If convicted businesses can be faced with a fine up to a maximum of $4000.

■ AMBERLEY CRASH

Two killed, three injured in Amberley crash Two 16-year-old boys have been killed and three people injured in a high-speed crash involving two cars north of Christchurch yesterday.

Police said one of the cars was on the wrong side of State Highway 1, about 3km north of Amberley, when the collision happened about 6.20am.

Police confirmed the two teens had died in the crash, and a third 16-year-old had been injured.

He was receiving medical treatment.

“Two men in the other vehicle received non-life threatening injuries and are receiving medical treatment,” a spokeswoman said.

“One of the vehicles involved

in the crash has crossed the centre line.”

A witness who arrived at the scene soon after the crash said a ute and a white sports car had clearly collided, but a lorry was also pulled over to the side of the road.

“It happened on a bend going over a bit of a hill and they met at the top of it – so they were possibly overtaking in a stupid place. If so, that’s a terrible place to overtake.”

He had overheard a police officer saying the teenage driver of the white car did not have a licence, he said.

“I think the guy in the ute survived but he was in pretty bad

condition – they choppered him to hospital.”

A St John spokesman said two of those hurt were seriously injured and another had moderate injuries.

State Highway 1 has been closed, and a detour is place but is not suitable for heavy vehicles.

The St John spokesman said three ambulances and a helicopter had been sent to the scene, and would take the patients to Christchurch Hospital.

Three fire trucks were also at the scene of the crash on Glasnevin Road.

State Highway 1 is closed between Watties Road and Innes Road and diversions are in place.

Police said severe delays were expected and asked motorists to avoid the area as the closure would remain in place for some time. The Serious Crash Unit is investigating.

The Hurunui District Council said the detour was not suitable for heavy vehicles and people should avoid travelling if possible.

The crash brings New Zealand’s road toll for March to 21, after a person was killed in a crash in Reporoa near Taupo on Saturday night.

As of Friday, 86 had been killed on our roads this year, compared to 74 this time last year.

Pole vaulter Eliza McCartney has reached new heights, and is now setting her sights on even loftier targets.

McCartney cleared her best ever height of 4.90 metres at the Vertical Pursuit in Auckland yesterday – eight centimetres higher than the personal best she set last year.

While it won’t officially count as a New Zealand record because the run-up at the outdoor event didn’t meet international standards, McCartney is still excited at what her jump represents.

“We knew going into it that it wouldn’t be completely legal, but still being able to jump a 4.90 bar, regardless of what the run-up setup is like, that’s still awesome.”

McCartney later attempted to clear the elusive five metre mark but couldn’t clear it after three tries. Only two women have ever cleared five metres but McCartney’s coach, Jeremy McColl, believes she can soon become the third.

“It’s only a matter of time before it clicks, she can jump a lot higher than that. She’s going to fly.”

The 21-year-old McCartney is also looking ahead to reaching the five metre mark as he ramps up her preparation for the Commonwealth Games.

■ ALLENTON SCHOOL

Principal calls time

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

After sporting the principal badge for over three decades, Graham Smith is preparing to call it a day.

A new Allenton School principal will take over his desk at the end of term one, as Smith departs to travel overseas with his wife and swap full-time principal-work for part-time relief teaching.

It’s with mixed emotions he said he is moving into the next stage of his life, after a career spanning 12 schools in locations everywhere but his hometown of Christchurch.

Smith has worked in London, the Chatham Islands, Franz Joseph, Ikawai – and for the past 28 years Mid Canterbury, in principal positions at Hinds School, Methven Primary School and since 2012, Allenton School.

Wherever he’s been based, he said he has undertaken projects to develop the “user friendliness” of the schools for their communities.

“I guess I’ve always made an effort to stabilise the schools.

And I am quietly proud of the steps that I’ve taken because really, it’s all about the community when it comes down to it.”

Along with change in the schools he’s worked in, he said he has seen in the general role of ‘principal’ and what is required of him.

What isn’t so good, he said, is that principals are now tasked with more paperwork and longer days, while teachers also face higher expectations and more “parenting” work than ever before.

“There needs to be significant recognition, of teachers in particular. Sometimes parents don’t understand, or realise, that we really do try our darndest.”

But one of the real positives, he said, is the change in cultures he has noticed, especially in Mid Canterbury.

“We have an incredible number of ethnicities [at Allenton] – there’s Pasifika kids … kids from Thailand, the Philippines, South America, Eastern Europe, English kids and more … it’s added

In brief Car fires Police are making inquiries following two stolen cars being set alight yesterday. About 5.45am Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade members responded to a car fire in a stolen and abandoned vehicle on Milton Road near the Ashburton River bed. This followed a 4.40am car fire at Rakaia, on the side of State Highway One. Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade confirmed the car had been stolen, from Ashburton, before being set alight and abandoned. Police responded to both incidents but were unable to say yesterday whether the two fires may be linked.

Obama to visit NZ Former US president Barack Obama is embarking on a weeklong tour of Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Japan.

He’ll meet with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and participate in separate moderated conversations hosted by the New Zealand-United States Council and his foundation. On Friday and Saturday Obama will visit Sydney and Tokyo on Sunday. - AP

a real flavour to the community, and it’s just absolutely incredible what they add.

“It’s so great just seeing their smiles and joy at being who they are.”

Smith speaks fondly of Allenton School – from the teachers he has worked with to the community beyond, which are a “re-

ally good cross section of society”.

“And at Allenton something else I’ve always liked are the trees and the grounds – seeing kids go out and eat their lunch under the trees, not under canvas.”

But what he will miss most about his work is the children.

“The way their eyes light up

when they get something, and the enjoyment they find in coming to school. I’ll really miss that,” he said.

But it’s time to go, before I become too much of a repeated cog. I’ve always thought it’s better to leave while still you’re doing it right … you know, before you become sour. I’ve seen a lot of people go through, and now I’m meeting parents who are ex-pupils of mine, and it’s quite strange,” he said.

“It would be dead tough if I reached the point where the grandparents started saying ‘you taught me’!”

Smith will be farewelled by the school community on April 12, and new principal Bruce Tilby will take over at the end of April.

Taute said it was one of three sold within a few months of each other.

■ FOOD ACT

Food Act registration deadline approaching Ashburton District Council is reminding new food businesses in the district to make sure they have registered their business under the Food Act 2014 by the end of March.

The act, which is being rolled out in stages since it came into force in March 2016, requires new food businesses to be registered

by March 31 as part of new legislation to help ensure businesses

are preparing and selling food that is safe and suitable to eat.

Existing food businesses are changing over to the new rules in stages.

Council Environmental Monitoring Manager Rick Catchpowle says registration forms can be found on the Ashburton District Council website, alongside information on the kinds of businesses the deadline affects.

“The Food Act requires all food businesses to register under one of three options; a template Food Control Plan (FCP), a National Programme (NP) or a custommade Food Control Plan. If you’re unsure if the registration deadline affects you or you aren’t sure which option you should register under, visit www.ashburtondc. govt.nz or the Ministry for Primary Industries website www.mpi.

govt.nz/food-safety “It is crucial that these affected businesses are registered on time, so if you haven’t already, make sure you get your forms in before the end of the month.”

New businesses that need to register include: • School boarding houses, tuckshops and canteens • Food service businesses without a liquor licence

• Retailers that prepare, handle or sell food including pre-packaged chilled and frozen food (excluding prepackaged ice creams and ice-blocks) • Bakeries • Manufacturers of confectionary, dairy products, food additives, prepared foods, meat, non-alcoholic beverages and egg products • Processers of herbs and spices

■ UNITED STATES

McCabe kept memos on Trump Andrew McCabe, the one-time FBI deputy director just fired by the attorney general, kept personal memos regarding US President Donald Trump that are similar to the notes compiled by dismissed FBI chief James Comey detailing interactions with him, The Associated Press has learned.

It was not immediately clear whether any of McCabe’s memos have been turned over to special counsel Robert Mueller, whose criminal investigation is examining Trump campaign ties to Russia and possible obstruction of justice, or been requested by Mueller.

McCabe’s memos include details of interactions with the president, among other topics, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The disclosure on Saturday came hours after Trump called McCabe’s firing by Attorney General Jeff Sessions as a “a great day for Democracy”. Sessions, acting on the recommendation of FBI disciplinary officials, acted two days before McCabe’s

scheduled retirement date. McCabe suggested the move was part of the Trump administration’s “war on the FBI”. Trump tweeted in praise of Sessions’ announcement, asserting without elaboration that McCabe “knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels off the FBI!” An upcoming inspector general’s report is expected to conclude that McCabe, a confidant of fired FBI Director James Comey, authorised the release of information to the media and was not forthcoming with the watchdog office as it examined the bureau’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

“The FBI expects every employee to adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability,” Sessions said. McCabe said his credibility had been attacked as “part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally” but also the FBI and law enforcement.

“It is part of this administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the

special counsel investigation, which continue to this day,” he added, referring to Robert Mueller’s probe into potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign. “Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the special counsel’s work.”

Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, cited the “brilliant and courageous example” by Sessions and the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility and said in a statement on Saturday that the No. 2 Justice Department official, Rod Rosenstein, should “bring an end” to the Russia investigation “manufactured” by Comey.

Dowd told The Associated Press that he neither was calling on Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general overseeing Mueller’s inquiry, to fire the special counsel immediately nor had discussed with Rosenstein the idea of dismissing Mueller or ending the probe.

Mueller is investigating whether Trump’s actions, including Comey’s ouster, constitute obstruction of justice.

William, Kate brave cold The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have faced down snowfall and ferocious winds to watch a traditional St Patrick’s Day parade of the Irish Guards. William, who is Colonel of the Irish Guards, and heavily pregnant Kate braved icy gusts to visit the 1st Battalion at their base in Hounslow, west London. About 350 soldiers arrived on the Parade Square in their red regalia, led by Irish wolfhound Domhnall. Kate, who is due to give birth to the couple’s third child next month, presented the shamrock to officers and warrant officers. Betraying no awareness of the biting temperature, she smiled and chatted to each of the military men in turn, finally fastening a shamrock to the collar of Domhnall. William took the salute as the regiment continued a march-past and three thunderous cheers were then declared for the royals.

Musical talents combine for concert

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

April 6 will mark both the first Ashburton concert for one Kiwi blues legend and the 72nd Ashburton concert for another local group.

Paul Ubana Jones and the Mid Canterbury Choir have been rehearsing for a combined concert which will bring offerings from both their repertoires – and both international and local expertise – to the stage.

Jones has four decades of professional performance, nine albums and a number of international awards under his belt, and has worked alongside names like BB King, Bob Dylan, Norah Jones, Crowded House and Taj Mahal.

The choir said they are “thrilled” to bring him to Ashburton and draw from his experience.

“Paul has been generously spending time with the choir in rehearsal, encouraging them out-

side their comfort zone with two familiar songs and one of his own composition,” Mid Canterbury Choir Manager Carol Gunn said.

“The choir members have enjoyed his exuberant style and his never-ending patience and positivity.”

Jones was born in London, but has lived in New Zealand since the late 1980s, and is currently based up the road in Southbridge.

He was playing guitar by the age of 11, and went on to study

guitar, cello and composition at Music College.

Throughout his studies Jones began to forge his own contemporary style, influenced by blues, rock, folk and jazz, which he has developed over the years.

Paul Ubana Jones and the Mid Canterbury Choir will perform one show only of Ride That Train on April 6 – tickets and more information are available on TicketDirect.

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

Art enthusiasts visit local gallery

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton Art Gallery recently played host to a group of 20 art enthusiasts from SCAPE, the largest producer of contemporary art pieces in New Zealand.

The team installs year-round public art in Christchurch and hosts an annual six-week ‘season’

of works, and earlier in March dropped by to see how things work in Mid Canterbury.

Communications and exhibitions assistant Nicole Bourke said all were first-time visitors to the Ashburton Art Gallery.

They enjoyed a guided tour of the current exhibitions, Zonta Ashburton Female Art Award

2018 and Memory of Place Takes Flight by Fiona Van Oyen, along with a rare behind the scenes walk through the workroom and collection store.

“A nice surprise for the group was the work by Janna Van Hasselt on display in the ZAFAA18 exhibition,” Bourke said.

“Van Hasselt is a familiar artist

for the group as she participated in SCAPE Public Art Season 2016 with her site-specific work Buzz carpet.”

She said the visit was a great opportunity for the group to learn more about the gallery’s programme and how the gallery operates and serves the community.

Road toll shocking, tragic N

ew Zealand’s road toll so far this year is both shocking and tragic to contemplate.

From January 1 to March 16, the Ministry of Transport reported 83 deaths. This compares to last year’s total for the same period, of 74 deaths.

And there has been at least two more since March 16, with two teenagers killed yesterday in a head-on crash near Amberley on State Highway One, after their car crossed the centre line.

The figure shows we are on track for one of our worst road tolls in years, and experts are forecasting it will surpass 400.

Last year’s road toll was bad enough, at 380, up from 327 in

Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

2016, and 319 in 2015.

The road toll reality means that there are more than 300 Kiwis who will be out and about living their lives today, who will not be here by the end of this year.

These 300 or so people are not some anonymous figures dotted around the country.

They are fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, sisters, brothers

– people upon whom communities and families rely, people who bring something into the lives of those around them.

They are you and me, people who will probably be suffering Mondayitis today and going through all the highs and lows that every normal day brings.

Death by road accident not only cuts short the life of the person who is killed, but has a hidden toll in the grief and sadness it leaves behind.

The social cost of road crashes in New Zealand is also huge, and was estimated for 2016 to be $4.17 billion, measured in loss of life and life quality, loss of output due to injury, and medical, legal and property damage costs.

There has been ongoing action at government level in recent years to reduce the road toll, such as advertising campaigns, lowering the drink drive limit, and road improvements.

But there is much we can do at an individual level.

They include no texting or using your cellphone, no speeding, making sure you pull over for a rest if you are tired, no drink driving, wearing your seatbelt and keeping your eyes on the road at all times.

They are just the basics, but things that at some stage we have all been guilty of not doing.

The growing road toll should be a reminder to all that it’s time to get back on track to safe driving.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, March 19, the 78th day of 2018. There are 287 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On March 19, 1918, Congress passed the first law establishing daylight saving time in the United States, with clocks to be moved forward one hour from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. (This law was repealed in August 1919.)

On this date: In 1687, French explorer ReneRobert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle — the first European to navigate the length of the Mississippi River — was murdered by mutineers in present-day Texas.

In 1863, the Confederate cruiser Georgiana, was scuttled off Charleston, South Carolina, on its maiden voyage to prevent it from falling into Union hands.

In 1931, Nevada Governor Fred B. Balzar signed a measure legalising casino gambling.

In 1945, during World War Two, 724 people were killed when a Japanese dive bomber attacked the carrier USS Franklin off Japan (the ship was saved). Adolf Hitler ordered the destruction of German facilities that could fall into Allied hands in his so-called “Nero Decree,” which was largely disregarded.

In 1953, the Academy Awards ceremony was televised for the first time; The Greatest Show on Earth was named best picture of 1952.

In 1958, “South Pacific,” starring Rossano Brazzi and Mitzi Gaynor in an adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, opened in New York.

In 1965, the wreck of the Confederate cruiser Georgiana was discovered by E. Lee Spence, 102 years to the day after it was scuttled.

In 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the start of war against Iraq. (Because of the time

difference, it was early March 20 in Iraq.)

Ten years ago: In an audio message, Osama bin Laden denounced the publication of drawings insulting to the Prophet Muhammad and warned Europeans of a strong reaction to come.

Five years ago: Pope Francis officially began his ministry as the 266th pope, receiving the ring symbolizing the papacy and a wool stole exemplifying his role as shepherd of his 1.2-billion strong

flock during a Mass at the Vatican.

Insurgents carried out a wave of bombings across Iraq that killed at least 65 people.

One year ago: Fire broke out in the foothills near downtown Boulder, Colorado, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of residents. Authorcolumnist Jimmy Breslin, the legendary street-smart chronicler of wise guys and underdogs, died at his Manhattan home at age 87.

Hawke’s Bay orchadists recently struggled to find workers to pick their fruit, resulting in the declaration of a regional labour shortage.

Call for international student policy rethink T

he Labour-led Government has indicated that it plans to review the ability of international students to work in New Zealand both after they graduate and also while they are studying.

According to figures provided by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), removing the right to work for international students studying for qualifications at lower than Bachelors’ degree level will likely reduce the number of students coming to New Zealand by 7000 to 10,000 each year.

MBIE has indicated that having 10,000 fewer international students each year would translate to a loss of revenue of $70 million from tuition fees.

The overall cost to the economy is estimated at $261 million and this is a “best case scenario”.

A sharp reduction in students of this level will not only have massive consequences for private training providers but will also impact on our polytechnics and institutes of technology

which acquire significant income from fee-paying international students.

Furthermore, MBIE has predicted that restricting the ability of international students to work while they are here will also lead to labour shortages in a number of sectors including hospitality and retail.

The Immigration Minister’s response to this concern was reportedly that “students are primarily here to study, not prop up businesses that could be employing New Zealanders”.

What the Honourable Minister Iain Lees-Galloway seems to have overlooked, however, is that these businesses would employ New Zealanders if they could find them.

I am frequently told by small, medium and large business owners in Selwyn and further afield that they are struggling to find staff.

The fact of the matter is that international students and those here on working visitor visas are not taking jobs away from Kiwis – they are filling jobs that need filling.

Due to our robust economy and low unemployment rate, workers are in short supply in a range of industries.

For example, recently orchardists in Hawke’s Bay have been struggling to find workers to pick their fruit, resulting in the declaration of a regional labour shortage.

In the kiwifruit industry 60 per cent of the workers are New Zealanders and 15 per cent are international students. The remainder of workers are international holiday workers and individuals recruited under the Regional Seasonal Employment Scheme.

Industries such as dairy farming are competing against other

industries such as construction and road building. Once again the figures are interesting – 80 per cent of dairy workers are New Zealand-born and the other 20 per cent are migrants.

What these figures and the feedback from industry groups are telling us is that both international students and those here on working holidays make up an important component of the workforce.

If you suddenly take away 10 to 20 per cent of your pool of workers, who is going to pick the rest of the fruit or serve customers in the local cafe?

The Government needs to rethink its policy on international students before it causes real damage to our regional economies.

Riding Switzerland’s rails is a stress-free way to hop-scotch between destinations.

GoldenPass Line put to test P

ulling out of Montreux Railway Station, the romance of rail had me all aglow. The rising sun was gilding the rooftops of the Belle Epoque hotels and the snow-dusted peaks of the French Alps, backdropping Lake Geneva’s eternal blue waters.

Riding Switzerland’s rails is my idea of European holiday bliss; it’s breathtakingly efficient and terrain-defying train network constantly impresses, it’s a stress-

After a recent stay in Geneva, I shimmied around the lake to Montreux, to put the GoldenPass Line to the test. It’s reputed to be the pioneer of the panorama train, lustily sporting giant picture windows to maximise the vistas, writes Mike Yardley. free way to hop-scotch between destinations, and the kaleidoscopic scenery transforms even the most jaded of travellers into snap-happy gluttons.

The rolling photo shoot just keeps on giving. It was a crisp, clear November morning as my train chugged out of Montreux, ascending the thickly-wreathed

Spaciously seated within our glassed cocoon of comfort, we oohed and aahed like school children on a sugar hit.

slopes of the Lavaux vineyard terraces, set against glinting peaks and a millpond-smooth lake.

I virtually had the entire 1st class carriage to myself, with just Tom and Sharon, a charming couple from Melbourne, sharing my journey.

Spaciously seated within our glassed cocoon of comfort, we oohed and aahed like school children on a sugar hit, all the way to Interlaken. Gloriously clear weather sans the crowds – there’s a lot to be said for off-peak travel!

The climb out of Montreux was strikingly steep, with the first 10km ascending to 1110 metres, as those UNESCO-protected vineyards, medieval watchtowers and ravishing country estates glided by the curving cogwheel track.

A fresh coating of snow carpeted the verdant green valleys, adding to the cinematic spectacle, as we delved deeper into the alpine hinterland.

Spruce, fir and pine forests were mantled in snow, as we whizzed by plump dairy cows and weathered wooden chalets, half expecting Heidi to come skipping into view.

Rather surreally, the GoldenPass train threads its way through the heart of villages, right down the main street, bringing all

vehicular traffic to a stop, as we peered intimately into the yards and homes, flanking the track.

The elaborate carvings of the chalets seemed to get ever more impressive and ornate, as we tootled through Les Avants.

Noel Coward was so enchanted by this town when he visited in 1959, that he swiftly bought a chalet and spent the rest of his life here.

Clinging to the steep mountainside and crossing a multitude of bridges, we entered the long summit tunnel of Jaman, before soaking up more scenic spoils through Montbovon, the cheese region of Gruyere, Saanen, and Chateau d’Oex – which hosts the International Ballooning Festival every January.

Beautifully decorated chalets and the piercing spires of alpine church steeples abound in these parts. In picturesque Rossiniere, I swooned at the sight of the Grand Chalet – Switzerland’s largest, a five–storey intricately carved and painted masterpiece constructed in the 1700s to produce cheese, complete with 113 windows.

This palatial construction, which became the home of the world famous artist Balthus, has hosted a roll-call of distinguished guests, from the Dalai Lama to David Bowie.

Alpine winter wonderland.

The Grand Chalet in picturesque Rossiniere.

Lauvaux vineyard terraces high above Lake Geneva.

Hungry cows corralled in a typically Swiss village.

Further down the line, the enchantment factor meets all-star glamour, glitz and Gucci in the high-end alpine resort town of Gstaad, where the chalets looked impeccably stylish.

As you pass from Frenchspeaking to German-speaking Switzerland, put the wood-pile theory to the test. I’m convinced that while the French-speaking residents stack their wood in free-form style, the Germanspeaking folk tidily pile wood with absolute precision.

The route’s highest point tops out at nearly 1300 metres at Saanenmoser, before changing trains on the wide valley floor at Zweisimmen.

Purring through the Simmen Valley to Spiez, half-timbered houses, sigh-inducing chalets and forested mountains studded this quintessential pastoral pocket of Switzerland.

The stately 15th century Wimmis Castle lorded over us, like a valley sentinel, as we neared Spiez and Lake Thun. One of nature’s own guards, the pyramid-shaped might of Mt Niesen, shimmered in the early winter sun, casting its towering triangu-

lar shadow over the lake.

Interlaken beckoned ever closer, as we breezed by a host of seductive lakefront hamlets, like Faulensee and Leissigen. So many places, so little time. For day-trippers on the GoldenPass line, a carefully choreographed change in trains at Interlaken leads you on to Luzern, but I had places to see and people to meet in Interlaken, first.

In the great alpine cradle of the Bernese Oberland region, Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn were calling me.

The full journey between Montreux and Luzern is just 210km in length, taking under four hours to complete. Interlaken is the half-way point. Blessed with jawdropping topography, nature sets the stage for Switzerland’s fabled collection of scenic train journeys, including the Glacier Express, Bernina Express, Gotthard Panorama and the GoldenPass.

Do one of these legendary routes and you’ll be hooked, panging for your next hit.

In brief Blues crash out The Blues coaches have described the team’s performance during their defeat to the Stormers this morning as “unacceptable”. Head coach Tana Umaga admitted the Blues lacked urgency throughout the 37-20 defeat at Newlands, which came a week after their remarkable come-from-behind victory over the Lions in Johannesburg. But as the expectation levels rose, the Blues’ performance dropped.

Squire breaks thumb Liam Squire is the latest All Black injury casualty – the loose forward leaving his team’s victory over the Crusaders in Dunedin with a broken thumb. Squire will be out of the game for up to six weeks, but a positive for coach Aaron Mauger is the way Elliot Dixon performed as Squire’s replacement in the second half of the 25-17 win. Dixon, back from injury himself, was back to the form which won him three test caps in 2016 as his side maintained their perfect record this season. - NZME

Hat-trick for the Reds Ireland’s players celebrate winning the Grand Slam after the Six Nations rugby union match against England at Twickenham yesterday.

■ RUGBY

Paddy’s Day celebrations Ireland ignited the St Patrick’s Day festivities by sealing the third grand slam in their history as England collapsed to a 24-15 defeat at Twickenham.

A record-extending 12th successive Irish victory was sealed at a canter as a 21-5 half-time lead in south west London established an unassailable position to elevate Joe Schmidt’s class of 2018 alongside the heroes of 1948 and 2009.

Garry Ringrose and CJ Stander crossed before Jacob Stockdale plundered a record-breaking seventh touchdown of the tournament, claiming a try that was laced in irony due to the exten-

sion of the in-goal area in anticipation of snow.

England, under former Wallabies boss Eddie Jones, have descended into crisis as their 14test unbeaten home record under the Australian drew to a close, in the process registering a third successive loss and a first championship defeat at Twickenham since 2012.

“We knew it was going to be a really tough task to come here and win.

“Right from the off we tried to attack England with and without the ball, it was a very ferocious test match, right throughout,” said Ireland captain Rory Best.

“We just had to make sure we made every moment count, every single moment, build the moments on top of each other and try to build as close to a perfect 80 minutes as we could because we knew the reward would be worth the massive effort required.

“Words can’t describe how delighted we are with that win but also the Grand Slam.

“It was all about this game and all about the Grand Slam.

“The statement for us was to make sure we won something big and ultimately in this, what turned out to be a cup final for us, to show what we’re made of.”

England boss Jones had warm

words for Ireland “They’re a good, tough team, well coached, very well disciplined.

“They play to their strengths and they’re very worthy Grand Slam winners,” he said.

“There was no lack of effort but we just struggled to execute at certain times. I thought our players really stuck at it, but we gave them too big a lead.

“It’s obviously disappointing but you go through these little runs and the only way you get out of it is by focusing on what you need to improve.

“We’ve just got to keep working on our game, keep looking at how we can improve it.”

Highlanders win battle of attrition on home turf

By Steve HepBurn The Highlanders got home 2517 over the Crusaders at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday night to remain the only unbeaten New Zealand team in Super Rugby.

The home side led 14-10 at the break and then sucked up plenty of pressure to win the game with two late Lima Sopoa-

ga penalties icing the victory.

The Highlanders scored a crucial try early in the second half through Elliot Dixon and held on as the Crusaders kept pressing but could only score one try through halfback Bryn Hall.

Best for the Highlanders were hooker Liam Coltman, lock Tom Franklin and Sopoaga.

The Highlanders looked the

more dangerous side in the game’s first half but did not have a lot of ball.

The Crusaders were first to score when winger George Bridge sped through a gap and could not be stopped.

But the early 7-0 lead for the Crusaders did not last long as the Highlanders struck back though hooker Coltman.

On the quarter hour mark, the Highlanders scored another try with some good work by the forwards laying on a platform which Sopoaga finished.

The Crusaders thought they had scored in the dying minutes of the half but an earlier Tim Bateman knock-on led to a Jordan Taufua try being ruled out.

Queensland’s Super Rugby renaissance has continued with a stirring 18-7 victory over the Jaguares in Buenos Aires – their third win in a row. In their first overseas tour match under Brad Thorn, the Reds produced more stoic defence and gritty set-piece work to upset the Argentinians yesterday. Tries from first-year rookies Brandon PaengaAmosa and Filipo Daugunu, plus two penalties from James Tuttle, sealed the club’s first win in South America.

Wales down the French Thank God that is over. Wales winners by a point (14-13) but this was a drab end to the Six Nations.

The fact that France failed to win shows that their renaissance will have to wait. At times this was incredibly difficult to enjoy, such was the dearth of skill on offer – both sides ruining the second half with countless errors. By taking a losing bonus-point France made sure England suffered the intense embarrassment of a fifth-place finish – their worst performance since 1983, while the second-place finish is worth £3.5 million in prize money.

Brumbies win at home A return to Canberra has reignited the Brumbies’ Super Rugby season, scoring a 24-17 victory over the Sharks on Saturday night. Entering the match at GIO Stadium after two straight defeats to Australian Conference rivals, all the pressure was on Dan McKellar’s team to deliver. While it wasn’t always pretty, the Brumbies did enough to account for their South African opponents and square their season ledger at 2-2 heading into a bye.

In brief Root finding form England captain Joe Root made a century on the final day of the redball warm-up match at Hamilton’s Seddon Park. The visitors reached 353 for nine in reply to the New Zealand XI’s 287 for 13. That came after the Kiwi outfit, featuring four of the Black Caps’ test squad, reached 376 for nine and England slumped to 319 for 14 earlier in the week. Root struck form after getting trapped lbw for one by Doug Bracewell. That led to his 115 from 150 balls across more than three hours.

Cup favourites roll home

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

If the pressure of the favouritism tag caused concern for either Rhys Cromie or Tessa McCann in Gala Cup action over the weekend, neither let it show as they waltzed their way to titles.

The pair dominated the courts in their prestigious singles events – going through unbeaten to lift the silverware again.

For Cromie, it was title number nine, having won his first back in 2005 as a 13-year-old – at which point, McCann, who has now won the last three women’s

titles, was just five years old.

Playing in a strong line up of players in the A Grade men’s competition, Cromie breezed his way through to the semi-final with a 6-0, 6-0 win over John Leslie before a 6-3, 6-0 win over Edwin Dargue.

He then took on rising star of the local scene, Sam Bubb in the semi-final but his experience shone through as he won a tough encounter, 7-5, 7-5 to set up an intriguing clash with Aidan Mitchell in the final.

Mitchell had to beat previous Gala Cup winners, Jason Feutz

and Flynn Ness, to get to the final – which came as no surprise considering the season he’s enjoyed in the interclub competition.

Cromie never allowed him to get into the final though, winning the first set 6-1 before claiming the second 6-4 to win the match.

The women’s title only comprised four players, but didn’t lack for quality.

Played in a round-robin format, McCann had no struggles in winning all three of her matches; beating Amelia McKeown 6-1, 6-0, Larissa Allan 6-0,

6-0 and Ashleigh Leonard 6-1, 6-0.

Leonard finished second with two wins from her three matches.

Michael Kerr won the plate event in the A Grade men’s singles, beating Dallas Scott while the A Reserve grade men’s singles was won by Neil Alombro who beat Ryan Watt.

In the Women’s A Reserve grade, Felicity Pye was the winner.

Results from the doubles action over the weekend will appear in Tuesday’s Guardian.

Improvement still left to come in Warriors

BY DAVID SKIPWITH Coach Stephen Kearney believes the Warriors can get much better after his side produced some erratic attacking play in their 20-8 NRL win over the Titans.

The Warriors were thrilling to watch as they laid on four tries, but the score could have been even greater if they had shown better composure with the football.

Kearney was keeping a lid on celebrations after the match and

said he’d emphasised the need for his side to play with better control as they aim to make it three-in-a-row with next Saturday’s away clash with Canberra.

“The thing we’re not getting carried away with here is we have a lot more improvement in us and we recognised that in the sheds after the game,” said Kearney.

“It was a tough grinding win and it was good to get the result.”

Captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was again outstanding, scoring

a brilliant first-half try, and making three line-breaks while powering through a game-high 215 metres with the ball, while he also made some crucial tackles near the line.

The 24-year-old credited the trust the players have in their team-mates as being the cornerstone for the side’s strong start to the season.

“There’s a lot of confidence in everyone just doing their role,” said Tuivasa-Sheck.

“That’s what we talk about, the

coaches give us a plan and we just expect everyone to do their jobs.”

Disappointed Titans coach Garth Brennan wasn’t surprised by the Warriors attacking style and raved about their performances over the two opening rounds and the brilliant attacking ability of their key playmakers.

“I said during the week it was probably the best 80 minute performance I’ve seen from the Warriors, in my time being a footy fan,” said Brennan.

It took three weeks, but Auckland finally gave the Volvo Ocean Race fleet some wind to sail in. While the in-port race last week was a slow affair, the yachts were flying at 20 knots as they departed Auckland on Sunday to take on the Southern Ocean. With a fully repaired Vestas 11th Hour Racing back in the mix, the fleet’s full compliment left Auckland to a big reception to start their 7600 nautical mile (14,075km) journey.

Tigers defying pundits The Wests Tigers are continuing to thumb their noses at a horror NRL draw, delivering them meetings with the top-four contenders from last season to open this year.

Many expected the Tigers could be winless after the opening five rounds, having to take on the big guns including two matches against defending premiers Melbourne. But having travelled south and knocked over the Storm in a 10-8 thriller on Saturday night at AAMI Park, after an openinground one win over the Sydney Roosters, they have no fears about what’s to follow.

Panthers slow starters NRL comeback kings or not, Anthony Griffin says his Penrith side needs to address the issue of slow starts after their fighting 18-14 win over South Sydney on Saturday. For the second week in a row at Panthers Stadium the hosts fought back from a 14-0 deficit with three second-half tries to down the Rabbitohs and go into the NRL’s top four. And while they might have been tough enough to get the job done for the last two weeks, the general feel is the slow starts must pick up sooner rather than later.

In brief

■ TRENTHAM

Savvy filly on target Outstanding filly Savvy Coup has the right credentials to continue New Zealand’s run of success in next month’s A$1 million Australian Oaks (2400m).

The daughter of Savabeel bagged the first leg of a prized double on Saturday with a sublime performance to claim victory in the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham and will step out next in the Randwick feature on April 14.

“The way she won today we have to go, she’s a very fit horse and the last two winners have done the same thing so we’ll take that path as well,” said Matthew Pitman, who trains Savvy Coup with his father Michael.

Stephen Marsh’s Sofia Rosa was relegated to second behind Fanatic in the 2016 New Zealand Oaks before winning the Sydney classic and the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-prepared Bonneval won both Group Ones last season.

Savvy Coup’s win completed a red letter day at Trentham for the stable, who had earlier enjoyed success in the Gr.3 Wentwood Grange Cuddle Stakes (1600m) with Montoya Star.

“This is massive for us and all our team work incredibly hard,” Pitman said.

“We’ve had an incredible year.”

Savvy Coup provided rider Chris Johnson, who opted to ride the three-year-old over runnerup Contessa Vanessa, with his fifth Oaks winner.

“I’ve been lucky enough to ride the two best fillies and I got on the

Promising three-year-old Pop Star Princess backed up her stunning debut performance at Matamata recently by breaking her maiden status with ease at Rotorua. The Makfi filly had impressed many when she fought on determinedly for second at Matamata behind Contessa Vanessa in an open threeyear-old contest. Trainer Fred Cornege didn’t hesitate to tackle a similar event on Saturday and Pop Star Princess dealt to her rivals with a bold front-running display. - NZME

Johnson gets it done The experience and guile of leading rider Chris Johnson was on display for all to see as he guided enigmatic mare Euphoria to victory in the opening event at Trentham on Saturday. The talented Rip Van Winkle mare has a reputation of being a real handful and she looked to be in that sort of mood in the early stages of the Dixon and Dunlop Premier. Johnson was having none of it as he calmly kept her on an even keel. Euphoria produced a sustained burst of speed to snatch victory in the final few strides from The Bandito.

Seventh Up ready

Chris Johnson gets Savvy Coup across the line in the New Zealand Oaks at Trentham. right one,” the 53-year-old said.

“She’s tough and very talented.

“Group Ones are hard to win, especially at my age.”

Savvy Coup settled midfield on the outer before Johnson made his move 800m from home.

“I couldn’t really hang on to her much longer, I would have preferred to wait but the pace steadied and I didn’t want to get too far

off them when they quickened,” Johnson said.

Savvy Coup drew alongside Contessa Vanessa 400m out before easing clear to win by a length and a-quarter with Milseain a similar distance back in third.

Caricature was on the pace all the way and stuck on grimly for fourth ahead of the maiden Mark

Two, who made solid ground from midfield.

Savvy Coup was bred by the Chittick family’s Waikato Stud and provided resident stallion Savabeel with his 17th individual Group One winner.

New Zealand Bloodstock’s Insurance Advisor Jim Bruford purchased the filly for $65,000 in 2016 NZB Yearling Sale. - NZME

War Dan Delight adds Kindergarten to Sapling win Natalie Rasmussen’s fleeting visit to Young Quinn raceway on Saturday proved worthwhile when her drive, War Dan Delight, won the $25,000 Alabar NZ Kindergarten Stakes in a race record 1:53.3.

It was the Bettor’s Delight colt’s

Pop Star impresses

second Group Three win in two starts following his victory in the Sapling Stakes at Ashburton.

It has been a quick return for Australian owner Danny Zavitsanos, who paid $90,000 for the brother of 2017 Northern Derby

winner Raukapuka Ruler at last year’s premier sale.

Rasmussen said War Dan Delight was one of 30 they picked out at the sales.

“He had no faults,” she said.

“You hope they will all turn out

group one horses and after what he has done he rates up there.”

Later in the day, the Wyndham Cup went the way of Gotta Minute (Dexter Dunn), who ran down Canterbury pacer Tiger Thompson in the shadows of the post.

Last year’s Gr.2 Easter Stakes (1600m) winner Seventh Up looks in fine fettle to defend his title next month judging by his comfortable first-up victory at Rotorua on Saturday. The lightly raced seven-year-old was resuming after finishing well back at Ellerslie in early December and relished the give in the Rotorua surface that was officially rated as a Dead4 on the day. Despite being off the scene for over three months trainer Shelley Hale felt her charge could run a bold race based on his leadup work.

Promising future Daytona Red produced a careerbest performance at Trentham on Saturday and trainer Shaune Ritchie believes there’s plenty more to come from the four-year-old. The Sebring gelding was a dominant winner of the Yealands Family Wines New Zealand St Leger and expectations are that he will be featuring in some of the country’s premier distance events next season.

TRADES, SERVICES

Comeback kid “My hand is up. And I’m ready.”

With those seven words, Brendon Hartley set in motion one of motorsport’s great comebacks.

On the other end of the phone, Helmut Marko, head of Red Bull’s driver development programme barely uttered a word, but that was enough to give Hartley hope.

“I didn’t get so much of a response, but he didn’t say no. And I could tell he was thinking, so in my books, the phone call went well.”

It turns out the 28-year-old’s instincts were dead on.

Just two weeks later, Marko returned his call, inviting him to come and test the Red Bull F1 simulator.

Hartley – who was still in the midst of his World Endurance Championship campaign with Porsche – simply packed his bag and headed to Milton Keynes.

“I didn’t ask any questions at all, I just went and drove the simulator. I had no idea I was being put in the car for Austin.

That all came about quickly, with a weekand-a-half to go.

“I had to hold my nerve.”

A fortnight later, Hartley started the United States Grand Prix.

Six months on, that surreal experience has become very real, as he prepares to start the 2018 season as a fully-fledged Formula One driver for Toro Rosso.

Hartley admits even he sometimes forgets his own unlikely story.

“Every now and then when people ask what I do, I find myself forgetting just for a

moment that I am an F1 driver,” he laughs.

The off-season has been a combination of intense training in preparation for the coming F1 season, but also reflection as Hartley tries to rationalise just what happened in the second half of 2017.

“The last few months have been time off; time to digest everything that happened. I became an F1 driver, which is something I’d dreamed of since I was a kid.

“I won a World Championship. I won Le Mans ... and I got married.”

His marriage to long-time partner Sarah in January, was a not-so-subtle reminder of the turmoil his career was in before Marko became his ‘F1 fairy godfather’.

The date was moved forward to avoid any clashes with Formula E. While his negotiations to move to IndyCar to form an all-Kiwi line-up with Scott Dixon at Chip Ganassi Racing were widely reported, Hartley was also hedging his bets.

Not even his Waiheke Island wedding was going to get in the way of a possible drive in Morocco.

There are plenty of unknowns for Toro Rosso as they adopt the Honda power unit unwanted by both McLaren and Sauber.

But confidence was boosted by the first real world test in Barcelona.

“I’m older and more experienced now.

I’m better prepared and fitter. I’m in a lot better place than I was then. I’m a different person than I was eight or nine year ago.

“I’m happy and grateful to get my chance in F1, but now I want to make the most of it.”

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Laughter, like yawning, is contagious. Bonus: You don’t even have to know what you’re laughing about to get the many benefits of a jolly good time today.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Those with a primitive conscience do not want to do bad things because of what would happen to them. Those with a higher conscience do not want to do bad things because of their effect on others.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Good relationships are not defined by an absence of problems. Good relationships go on regardless of what problems are present, not letting issues get in the way of the shared goals and purposes.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Life is movement. Engage the movement and you are dancing. Stay rigid or resist in any way and you risk being passed over, hurt or broken by the strong forces that keep the circle whirring.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re open to seeing things differently. Because of your sophisticated mind, you can understand the story from many sides without losing your take on it.

Because you see differently, you act differently.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Lately, you’ve been dealing with a few layers of negativity. Rest assured the condition isn’t chronic. You’re doing something every day – maybe even every hour – to heal yourself, and it’s working.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The currency of the ego is glamour, money and might. It’s the ability to influence and control others. This is what goes for power, but it’s not real power, as the really powerful know well.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Beware of people who always seem to want more – more of your time, more of your attention, more of your money. They will never be satisfied by what you give them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): People around you feel compelled to give their opinion, whether or not they were asked for it. When there are “too many cooks in the kitchen,” you can best express your caring by being quiet.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Anyone with money can show affection through the purchase of gifts or by wining and dining. Be different. You’ll stand out when you use your intelligence, sense of play and many talents to create a unique impression.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ve been stable and consistent in an endeavour, and now you’ll enjoy the rewards earned by your actions.

Others are reassured by your dependability and will give you their trust.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The small print will now be a large part of the deal. The hidden costs will come out of hiding. Deal with them immediately and you’ll avoid paying for what you didn’t understand well to begin with.

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

Tom Innes on his way to claiming two wickets in the Muirhead Rosebowl final.

It’s Lauriston’s rosebowl

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Lauriston claimed the Muirhead Rosebowl on home territory on Saturday, but not without a few scares first.

The match, which was relocated out to Lauriston, saw both the home side and their opponents Coldstream struggle with the bat in a low-scoring affair that still went almost the full distance, despite a combined total of runs scored of just over 200.

Coldstream took the willow first but were in trouble early doors with Deon Biggs back in the pavilion at the end of the third over for just five.

Fellow opener Bo Houston lasted a little longer – scoring seven off 29 balls before Reuben Early got one through him to send his stumps flying.

With Sean Burgess back in the sheds too, Coldstream were in trouble at 27-3 after just 11 overs.

Jono Print’s arrival at the crease saw a small fightback by the visitors, but the reintroduction of Alex Hooper to the bowling attack turned the game back around in favour of the host side.

Hooper snared the dangerous wicket of Richard Print for a duck, and then Lauriston captain Bevan Richan produced a deathly spell.

Richan finished with 4-20 of his 8.2 overs as he cleaned up four of the last five wickets while Hooper finished with three for 25 of his nine.

Jono Print’s 32 not out was the highlight of the Coldstream innings.

He faced 112 balls and batted time, scoring just the two boundaries as he watched

batting partners come and go at a frequent and alarming rate down the other end.

Coldstream finished with 101 all out in the 41st over.

In reply, Lauriston made a horror start too, when Richard Print had Scott Maher back in the shed for 0 at the end of the first over – trapped lbw.

A 30-run partnership between Scott Morgan and Tom Ravenscroft steadied the ship somewhat however and when Morgan fell for 16 after eight overs, things were looking a lot brighter.

Ravenscroft then went about batting time with Luke Gilbert as the pair added 49 for the third wicket before he fell for 39 off 85 balls.

Gilbert stuck around for a valuable contribution of 11 runs, moreso useful that he lasted at the crease for 94 balls, providing a

steady set of hands in the middle before he was bowled by Bo Houston.

At 91-4, needing just 11 runs to win, Lauriston should have breezed home, but Print returned to the bowling line up and claimed three scalps in one over to leave Lauriston fans nervous.

The experienced shoulders of Rob Hooper arrived at the crease and he and Tom Innes went about securing the remaining runs to give Lauriston the victory with just 10 balls remaining in the innings.

The win gave them the Muirhead Rosebowl to add to the trophy cabinet alongside the Pritchard and Studholme Shields to tidy up a very good season for the country club.

Methven were the only other side to claim a title when they won the T20 competition at the start of the season.
