Festival lets Muslim community give back

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Currie pipped at the post P24

Ashburton’s Muslim Association celebrated their first festival together on Saturday and used the occasion to give back to the community.

The group met in the Seniors’ Centre between 6pm and 9pm on Saturday and celebrated the Eid al-Adha festival.

Mubashir Muhktar, the secretary for the association, said the festival was celebrated internationally to commemorate the sacrifices made by Prophet Abraham, and also to share with the needy.

One of Abraham’s main trials was to face the command of Allah to kill his only son. Upon hearing the command Abraham prepared. When Abraham was prepared, Allah revealed to him that his “sacrifice” had already been fulfilled and

a lamb was prepared to be sacrificed instead.

Eid al-Adha is celebrated around the world at the end of the Hajj, where many Muslims make the journey to Mecca.

In the past Muslims in Ashburton have had to travel to Timaru or Christchurch to celebrate with others.

However, this year the group of around 50 people were able to come together and share the occasion.

Muhktar said a big part of the festival is to look after the less fortunate in the community so that they can also share in the celebrations.

This year they reached out to the newcomers’ network and were able to put together a meat package to feed around 10 families in Ashburton, which was given to the Salvation Army.

The association hoped the initiative would help the Muslim community to integrate well into Ashburton.

“Such collaborations will open further doors for us to take active part in progress and wellbeing of this wonderful district,” he said.

Muhktar said Muslims are also encouraged to celebrate with non-Muslims.

“The gathering brings people closer and helps us in the bonding and bridging of communities,” he said.

The Muslim Association has members from around 12 different nationalities, including Singapore, Ukraine, Egypt, Kenya and Pakistan, all working in different sectors in the district.

The group is planning to meet with Ashburton’s Maori community next month to broaden their connections.

■ BOULEVARD DAY

■ CHRISTCHURCH

Sea of hats for event

Arrests after dairy robbery

There will be a sea of hats when Boulevard Day kicks off on Ashburton’s main street for the 40th time next week.

Event co-ordinator Sue Cooper said everything was set for another great day of shopping, entertainment and tempting tucker for the annual event, to be held on Monday, September 26.

“We are all organised – all the stall sites are full, we’re just sending out the site plans to stallholders,” she said.

“We’ve got some fabulous new stallholders – locally and from out of town, along with the old favourites.”

Boulevard Day is timed to coincide with South Canterbury anniversary day and attracts thousands into the town’s CBD, many there to get a jump start on the Christmas shopping.

And with the range of goods on offer there’s bound to be something for everyone, from arts and crafts to plants and clothing and

everything in between. Local retailers will also be in on the action with many setting up on the footpath, offering bargain prices.

This year will see a return to the themes of past Boulevard Day’s with hats being featured.

“We thought it was appropriate to choose hats because of Mid Canterbury’s high UV light readings,” Cooper said.

As well as stall holders, a number of service and support groups will be on hand to offer informa-

tion and advice. Prizes will be handed out for the best hats.

East Street will be closed to traffic from 7am on Monday with stalls opening at 9am.

The street day coincides with day one of the district’s massive second hand book fair, Bookarama. It opens in the Ashburton Sports Hall on Tancred Street at 8am on Monday and runs until midday Saturday, October 1.

Funds raised at Bookarama go to charity.

■ MASONIC LODGE

Two teenagers armed with a baseball and firearm have been arrested after a dairy robbery in Christchurch on Saturday night.

The pair - both aged 16 - are alleged to have entered the Division St Dairy just before 5.30pm with a third offender.

Police said they were armed with a gun and a baseball bat and stole an amount of money and cigarettes.

Two of the group were later spotted driving a stolen car, police said. Officers tried to stop them, but when the driver failed to stop, a pursuit started.

The pursuit ended about 10.20pm on Avondale Road and those in the car were arrested.

Both teens will appear in the Christchurch District Court today, charged with a number of offences, police said.

Authorities are still hunting for the third person involved in the robbery.

Calendar a hit worldwide Midlands Masonic Choir performing at the Combined Mid Canterbury Masonic Lodge’s Charity Concert yesterday afternoon.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 180916-AK-014

Plenty of talent at charity concert The Combined Mid Canterbury Masonic Lodge’s Charity Concert was in strong voice at the Ashburton College Auditorium yesterday afternoon.

The proceeds raised from the charity concert will be donated to the Life Education Trust, while five young musicians were also recipients of the Midlands

Masonic Musical Scholarship award.

Opiti College’s Jessica Marshall, Ashburton College’s Annelise Diamond, Geraldine High

School’s Zoe Scott, Mackenzie College’s Daisy Hottham and Mt Hutt College’s Matilda Smith received $500 to go towards their future musical endeavours.

A calendar made up of photos from the web cam that followed the exploits of Moana the albatross at Taiaroa Head will help ensure the camera continues in future, and perhaps add more.

Orders for the calendar from Turkey, the United Kingdom and Canada show just how popular the web cam has made the albatross colony around the world.

It was put together by Christchurch woman Elise-Maree Duncan, who was initially going to put it together for friends and family, but decided to expand that idea.

All funds would go back to the Otago Peninsula Trust for the colony, and more cameras.

■ BATTLE OF THE SOMME

Family honours soldier’s service

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

Jack O’Carroll’s short life was remembered by his relatives on Saturday at the Ashburton Cenotaph, 100 years after he was killed during the battle of the Somme.

O’Carroll was a 21-year-old Ashburton man who served during World War One. He first served in the Gallipoli Campaign and was wounded while fighting, after recovering he was posted to France.

On September 16, 1916 O’Carroll was struck by shrapnel while carrying ammunition and killed instantly.

A group of 63 of his relatives met at the Ashburton Cenotaph on Baring Square West and laid wreaths and poppies.

Trish Baker, O’Carroll’s niece, said family had travelled from all over the country including Christchurch, Dunedin, Auckland and even Melbourne in Australia.

Baker said four generations would be present, and all the relatives were descended from children born in Ashburton between 1902 and 1914.

The oldest was Neville Hill at 83, the youngest was two-year-old Sophie Watson who had travelled

form Auckland to commemorate her great, great uncle.

She said the weekend began with a service in Christchurch, at the RSA, which had around 70 members.

Jim O’Carroll, the only relative to have served in the military, read an ode.

After the service in Ashburton, the group travelled to the Plains Museum, where O’Carroll’s name can be found on an honours board.

Before his service, Jack O‘Carroll worked for his father in their tailor shop on Tancred Street and the family lived on the corner of Wellington and Orchard Street.

Baker said O’Carroll’s grave is not known, but his named can be found alongside other New Zealanders who fought at the Caterpillar Valley Memorial in Longueval in France.

Of the New Zealand force, nearly 18,000 served in the battle of the Somme, 6000 were injured and 2111 were killed.

The battle of the Somme was New Zealand’s first, and most costly, engagement on the Western Front.

The total number of New Zealanders who fought during World War One was around 100,000, about 10 per cent of the country’s total population at the time.

Neville Hill, of Christchurch, who is Jack O’Carroll’s nephew and the oldest living relative, at 83 years old, commemorates his service.

■ EDENDALE

Farmers forced to dump milk after silo collapse About 100 farmers in Otago and Southland were forced to dump milk at the weekend as the aftermath of a five-storey milk silo collapsing at Fonterra’s Edendale site continues.

This comes as Fonterra has called in engineers from around New Zealand and the world to try to get the plant fully operational after the silo collapsed at the site on Friday, bringing down an overhead gantry carrying large steam pipes.

Neighbours reported hearing a

single loud boom about 1.50pm, followed by the sound of steam escaping from the ruptured pipes, a noise which continued for about 30 minutes.

One said it sounded like a 747 flying low overhead.

Fonterra chief operating officer global operations Robert Spurway said the collapse had affected milk collection over the weekend, with delays expected to continue.

“We have certainly had some delays in pick-ups and [overnight Saturday] there was about 100

farms of the roughly 1100 farms across Otago and Southland where we were unable to collect the milk.”

Most of the site was back up and running overnight Friday, but collection was affected as it carried out additional repairs on Saturday. The situation was improving and the Edendale site was processing more milk than was being collected yesterday.

It would continue to keep farmers informed and if progress continued as planned there would be

no further problems collecting milk.

Staff at the site and local engineers completed the initial repairs, but a team of engineers from across New Zealand and around the world were being brought in to carry out the “major” repairs needed to make the plant fully operational.

At the moment one of its milk powder plants and the milk protein concentrate plant were out of action, and it could take “a number of weeks” before they were

back up and running.

“We will need a few more days with engineers just to work out what the repair and recovery strategy is and how long that might take to reinstate those plants.

“Even without them we do have options to ensure that milk collection and processing can continue and that’s what we are working on getting in place at the moment.”

A number of investigations involving “forensic engineers” were under way to determine the cause of the collapse.

■ WHITE RIBBON DAY

Double stabbing A man is appearing in Timaru District Court today charged over a double stabbing that left one critically injured. The 25-year-old man had been taken into custody after the attack late Saturday night at a property on Whitcombe Street in Temuka. Police said he’d be facing “related charges” following the attack. They had been called to the address just after 10pm on Saturday where two men were found stabbed. One person remained in a critical condition in Christchurch Hospital yesterday, while another person had been treated for minor injuries. - NZME

Fighting family violence

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Planning for this year’s White Ribbon Day is well under way but before November 25 the committee will be on deck with a stall on Boulevard Day. Co-ordinator Jeff Withington said it was important to maintain a presence in the community to keep the message at the front of people’s minds.

“The impact of family violence should be remembered all year, we need to come up with ideas to keep pushing the message – stop the silence to stop the violence,” he said.

While a rise in crime statistics may be disturbing, there is an upside in that more people are reporting family violence offences, he said.

Withington likened the cam-

paign to raise awareness of family violence to that undertaken by anti-smoking lobbyists.

“Who would have thought 20 years ago that it would have been unacceptable to light up inside buildings, nowadays you’d be hard pressed to find a café you can smoke outside of,” he said.

The White Ribbon Riders will overnight in Ashburton on November 24 on their journey

around the country and take part in the White Ribbon quiz night to be held at Hotel Ashburton that night. This will be followed up by barbecue on the East Street chessboard the following day in support of national White Ribbon Day. If you want to enter a team of four to six people for the quiz night call Safer Ashburton on 3081395.

■ COLIN CRAIG DEFAMATION TRIAL

Craig’s wife to speak at defamation trial Colin Craig’s wife will finally speak about his relationship with his former press secretary and the kiss they shared on the night of the 2011 general election when she takes the stand at his defamation trial this week.

Helen Craig will be called as a witness for her husband and will tell the jury exactly what she thought of what he has called “inappropriate” affection towards Rachel MacGregor.

Craig is on trial for allegedly defaming Taxpayers’ Union director Jordan Williams, a friend of MacGregor’s, who resigned sud-

denly two days before the 2014 general election.

After her resignation MacGregor turned to Williams for support, and told him she had made a complaint to the Human Rights Commission that Craig had sexually harassed her.

She shared letters and poems the politician sent her. Williams then revealed the details to other Conservative Party members.

When Craig found out he publicly claimed Williams was part of a group of “culprits” determined to have him removed as party leader through a “campaign” of

“false accusations”. Williams then filed defamation proceedings in the High Court, saying he did not lie about Craig. The trial will go into its third week today.

Craig gave evidence on Friday and is now under cross examination by Williams’ lawyer, Peter McKnight.

That cross examination will be completed today, then Helen Craig is expected to be called.

She supported her husband in the court room for the first day of the trial but as she is a witness was excluded from the proceedings until after she has given her

evidence. Last week Craig told the jury his wife would recount to them in her own words what she thought of MacGregor’s allegations and her reaction to the night her husband kissed his press secretary.

Craig admitted he kissed MacGregor on the night of the 2011 general election. He deeply regretted the kiss, but he said it was consensual and he came clean soon after to his wife.

He said he was grateful for Helen Craig’s support through what had been a very difficult “season” in their marriage.

New Customs vessel A new Auckland-based New Zealand Customs Service vessel is to be locally designed and purpose-built. Hawk V will replace Hawk IV, which has been in service for 18 years. It will be similar in size and shape to the New Zealand Police vessel Deodar III, and similar in design to vessels operated by New Zealand Coast Guard, says Customs Minister Nicky Wagner.

The new vessel will be based in Auckland, and operate with a crew of four Customs officers. Delivery is expected in 2017-2018. - NZME

Classic Days in Classic Cars

Classic Cars - 1938 Willy’s 38

David Oakley with his 1938 Willy’s 38 which he spent four years restoring from the chassis up.

D

avid Oakley can admit that while his 1938 Willy’s 38 was the beginning of an automotive shift in the United States, it’s not exactly a looker.

He said that the Willy’s four-cylinder engine was a rarity in America before World War Two, but when the United States government put out a call for car companies to make a new universal vehicle, Willy’s came up with the GP, which became what’s now known as the Jeep.

Willys-Overland Motors was a popular choice because of the economy of their four-cylinder engine.

But this is not the only reason David finds the car so interesting.

He brought the car in 1988 and spent four years fully restoring it, from the chassis up.

David has travelled to nearly every corner of the South Island in his now fully restored Willy’s 38.

“Probably the most memorable was

a trip to the Maniototo, which is somewhere the car wasn’t really built for, but I went with a bunch of adventurous people,” he said.

The 1938 Willy’s 38 has a four-cylinder 2.2-litre engine and starts to get the speed wobbles at about 110km/h, but has a cruising speed of about 70-80km/h.

David thinks there are about four other roadworthy Willy’s 38’s in New Zealand, which means his car gets quite a bit of attention at the petrol station when he stops by.

His car also has air-conditioning installed, which he said was typical for cars of the era but it’s not exactly a modern system.

There is a hatch on the top of the bonnet which, when opened, created air flow through the car, however, it is not a fool--proof operation.

“There’s no filter in there so anything can get in – birds, bees, just about anything flying,” David said.

Ashburton welcomes a new benchmark in aged care.

This exciting new development combines clinical excellence with unparalleled support services and state-of-the-art facilities. The focus at Millstream is on encouraging independence, preserving dignity, celebrating individuality and welcoming family and friends.

■ PRINCES COURT REST HOME

Rest home activities praised

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The activities provided by Princes Court Rest Home have received praise and donations from families of residents.

Owner Vicki Green said the home has recently received a donation of outdoor chairs from the family of a Princes Court resident who passed away.

They also received a large sum of money from another family.

She said the families wanted to say thanks to the staff who co-ordinate the activities.

Chris Willis and Chris King are the co-ordinators of activities at Princes Court and Willis said residents wanted and required different activities.

She said they work from 8am until 4pm Monday to Friday and then an evening co-ordinator worked between 5pm to 8pm. Coordinators also worked at the weekend.

Willis said having the residents participating in the activities was important because it kept their minds active.

The mornings started off reading the newspapers and doing a quiz before moving on to midday where they try to get entertainers in.

Mostly the entertainers are made up of volunteer musicians who perform for the residents and Willis said they’re greatly appreciative of the ongoing support from them.

In the afternoons they may go out for drives and often times they are treated to an ice cream on the way home.

Willis said their presence in the home was also positive.

She said some residents didn’t have family in Ashburton so it was good for them to have someone who wasn’t necessarily their carers but someone they could put their confidence in.

“When you make that first breakthrough it’s all worth it,” Willis said.

Exhibitions fresh, innovative Two fresh and innovative exhibitions will open at the Ashburton Art Gallery next week.

One will give you a taste of street art with revamped skateboards while the other is a series of video works which explore the commonplace as you have never experienced before.

Everyday Things is presented

by CIRCUIT Artist Film and Video Aotearoa-New Zealand and features video works that explore the nuances of ordinary actions bringing together six films which highlight the strange, surprising and humorous moments.

Included in this exhibition are works by Samoan multi-media artist Angela Tiatia and celebrated Korean artist Seung Yul Oh, Melbourne-based Daniel Von Strumer along with New Zealand-based artists Steve Carr, Lanye Waerea and Kate Woods.

These works will surprise you, fill you with anticipation and make you perceive your everyday in a new way.

The Ashburton Art Gallery is thrilled to bring Everyday Things to a Canterbury audience with the assistance of CIRCUIT. CIRCUIT is an arts agency which celebrates New Zealand

artists working in moving image through the commissioning of works, distribution, critical review and professional practice initiatives.

Gallery manager Shirin Khosraviani is supportive of the work CIRCUIT does on behalf of film and video artists. “We are thrilled to be able to bring the work of six artists to Ashburton and showcase the varied approach that they each employ in communicating through moving image.”

Everyday Things will be available for viewing from Saturday September 17.

To further explore the transformation of the ordinary, the gallery will also be displaying the works of Ashburton College Year 10 students for a threeweek period beginning Saturday, September 10.

Twenty-eight handmade and repurposed skateboards have been sprayed, stencilled and reborn as new works of art by local college students and take inspiration from poetry, street art and heartfelt personal circumstances.

The boards will be on display until the first week of the school holidays.

Chalk paint while enjoying a rustic lunch Claire Roy and Jen Sheppard, who both love food and wine, invite you to bring a piece of furniture, one that will fit in your car, along with your paint, wax and friends to our Chalk paint and rustic lunch day.

Claire will share tips and tricks and guide you through painting and decorating your piece of furniture using chalk paint as a base.

Then you will be able to enjoy a beautiful rustic lunch, which will feature a set menu from local produce and which will further inspire you with great table and food ideas for the coming summer.

Our menu includes Devonshire teas with a twist, a warm seasonal dish (lamb/venison salad) along with artesian

breads and local cheeses, a beautiful, mixed array of summer refreshments and an oldfashioned inspirational dessert (to be revealed) The only flavour they are revealing is orange blossom!

Then there are two further experiences left which you will not want to miss out on, the only giveaway is that, you guessed it, it is food related and you will be taking it home.

This promises to be a great day out with like-minded people.

If you would like to know more about this day, please message them on Facebook and they will get back to you.

Don’t let fear make us ignorant Linda Clarke

SENIOR REPORTER

A

shburton’s Muslim community got together on Saturday to celebrate an important festival in their faith.

It was the first time they have celebrated the Eid al-Adha festival in Ashburton and they were keen to share it with the wider community.

It’s a big step in helping Mid Canterbury people learn more about members of the Muslim community who are now part of our community. They are people from countries around the world, including Singapore, the Ukraine, Egypt, Kenya and Pakistan, who practise the religion of Islam.

Many Kiwis trace their religious roots back to the Catholic or Protestant religions and know little about Islam. They associate Islam with headscarves and terror through ignorance.

Last year a Sikh medical student at an Auckland cafe was mistaken for a terrorist by a panicked person, who called police when they saw headphone wires sticking out of his bag.

Getting mistaken as a Muslim for wearing a turban and people thinking all Muslims were terrorists was another terrible bias, the student said at the time.

Should we be embarrassed by such ignorance? Yes. We should set aside our biases and be prepared to learn at least a little about how other people live and their belief systems.

We are lucky to live in a country where we have choices about who we marry or live with, have freedom of speech and are free to follow our religious beliefs.

We should not let fear make us ignorant, but take time to welcome newcomers and understand a little of their culture in the name of getting along together in this small district.

The local Muslim association has had to travel in the past to Christchurch or Timaru for Eid al-Adha, now their numbers have grown to the point where they can stage their own. Part of the occasion is to help those less fortunate and they put together a food package that will be distributed by the Salvation Army, a group with entirely different religious beliefs.

Festival organisers hope the gathering will help in the bonding and bridging of communities. Let’s hope so.

Higher wages and low inflation helping families T

wo recent reports have confirmed anecdotal evidence from around the country that the strong economy is helping to boost incomes for families in our region and around the country.

The MSD’s latest Household Incomes Report shows that the majority of households have experienced strong real income growth in recent years, and that New Zealand has experienced a stronger recovery than many OECD countries since the Global Financial Crisis.

The New Zealand median household income grew on average by just under 3 per cent each year in real terms between 2011 and 2015. Our net gains between 2009 and 2015 are better than for many OECD countries, such as the UK, Australia, Italy, Spain, France, Germany and the US. New Zealand’s average annual wage has increased by 25 per cent to $58,000 since 2008, which is more than twice the rate of inflation.

Amy Adams

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

A combination of rising wages, reduced taxes on income and savings, and low inflation has seen take-home pay increasing at four times the rate than it did under the previous government.

Between 1999 and 2008 take home pay did increase, but nearly all the gains were taken away by inflation. For example, back in 2008 although wages had increased by 5.1 per cent in the previous year, families were no better off because of rampant inflation which was also running at 5.1 per cent.

Meanwhile, the latest Household Labour Force Survey showed that 327,000 jobs have been created since the lowest point of the Global Financial

Crisis (GFC). Furthermore the number of people not in employment, education or training was 10.7 per cent, the lowest since September 2008.

We are now seeing job growth and real wage growth happening over an extended period of time.

The low inflation environment means that although wage increases are modest, most wage growth is going into the back pockets of families rather than being eaten up by cost of living increases.

The MSD report also found that income poverty is either flat or falling and that there was no evidence of any increasing depth of relative income poverty over the last two decades.

However, while incomes for beneficiaries and minimum wage workers have remained steady in real terms, the figures show that housing affordability and quality issues remain for lower income groups.

Overall the MSD report indicates that we are going in the

right direction. It also highlights that we are right to focus on helping people out of poverty and into training and employment. There are more than 40,000 fewer children in benefitdependent households since welfare reforms were introduced, and over 38,000 fewer people on a benefit.

Alongside this, the Government has increased support for low-income families. For example, earlier this year we introduced the child material hardship package which raised benefit rates for the first time in 43 years. We also increased Working for Families payments for low income working families and increased Childcare Assistance. Other important initiatives to help low income families included the introduction of free GP visits and prescriptions for children under 13, and the provision of around seven and a half million free breakfasts in schools as part of the expanded Kickstart programme.

Explosion ‘intentional’ A loud explosion has shaken the Chelsea neighbourhood of Manhattan, prompting New York City police and fire department personnel to swarm the area.

At least 29 people have been injured in the blast, Commissioner of the New York City Police James O’Neill said.

Of this group, 24 had been transferred to hospital with “various degrees of scrapes, abrasions, from blasts from metal”, another official said.

At a press conference, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said there was no evidence that the explosion was terror-related “at this point”.

De Blasio also said there was no connection between the explosion in Manhattan to a separate incident in New Jersey earlier in the day.

However, authorities had confirmed that the explosion in Manhattan was “a deliberate act”.

“We want to be upfront that there is no

evidence at this point of a terror connection to this incident,” de Blasio said.

“This is preliminary information. It is something we will be investigating carefully but there is no evidence at this point of a terror connection.”

De Blasio said it was “too early to say” whether the blast had any connection to the United Nations General Assembly next week, which a number of world leaders will attend.

Whatever the cause of the blast, New Yorkers would not be intimidated, de Blasio said.

“We’re not going to let anyone change who we are or how we go about our lives.”

People had suffered “significant” injuries, but none of them were life-threatening, he said.

A second site, in a neighbouring area, was being investigated by the NYPD and had been closed off to the public.

The explosion came hours after a pipe

bomb in a trashcan blew up near a funrun for the military in New Jersey, the Daily Mail reports. No-one was injured in that blast.

The New York incident occurred when a dumpster blew up outside a 14-storey residence for the blind, with the explosion shattering the lower windows of the building.

The explosion, described by one neighbour as “deafening”, happened outside the Associated Blind Housing facility at 135 W23rd St, according to the Post.

The facility provides housing, training and other services for the blind, nypost. com reports.

A witness said at least three people were seen being taken away from the apparent scene of the blast in ambulances, on Saturday night but the severity of their injuries was not immediately clear.

Transgender UK soldier on the frontline A 24-year-old transgender soldier, has become the first woman on the frontline of the British Army, the BBC reports.

In July, then UK Prime Minister David Cameron lifted the ban on the participation of women in the combat missions against enemies.

Chloe Allen, who joined the Scots Guards as a man in 2012, officially changed her birth name of Ben and started hormone therapy.

Although the official process to recruit women in infantry unit will only begin later this year, the British forces decided to

keep Allen in the infantry once she was officially registered as a woman.

“I’m delighted to have our first woman serving in a ground close combat unit,” said General Sir James Everard, Commander of the Field Army.

Gibson to be a father Mel Gibson is to become a father again for the ninth time - aged 60. The Lethal Weapon star and his girlfriend Rosalind Ross, 26, are expecting a baby early next year, the star’s rep confirmed according to People. Gibson already has eight children: seven with his ex-wife Robin and one more with Oksana Grigorieva.

Gibson and Rosalind, a champion equestrian vaulter, have been dating for two years and this will be her first baby. “Mel and Rose are so excited about the baby,” a friend close to the couple told People. “Mel loves being a dad and he and Rose can’t wait to be parents together. The last two years have been some of his happiest years he’s ever had.”

Halfway through the first season of The Real Housewives of Auckland, model and stylist Angela Stone says she’d do it all again. There has been plenty of onscreen bickering among the housewives — including the now-infamous plus-sized model dig — but Stone still rates the experience. “It’s been crazy, but amazing!

Very full on and draining at times, but ultimately fun and an experience I would definitely do again.” Stone is pleased with how she has come across in the show so far. “I am very much who you see on the show — I love my family, I love my business, I love fashion, I love nature and spirituality. That’s me!” But there is one scene Stone would reshoot. “The first scene, where I meet Gilda, Julia and Lou.

attack was “conclusive evidence” of US support for Islamic State, noting that the strike was “dangerous and blatant aggression”.

Islamic State said in a statement on its Amaq news channel it had gained “complete control” over Jebel Tharda.

The defence ministry in Russia, which has been aiding Syria’s President Bashar

al-Assad in the five-year civil war, said US jets killed more than 60 Syrian soldiers in four strikes and a fierce battle had erupted near the airport.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights cited a military source at Deir alZor airport as saying at least 80 Syrian soldiers had been killed in the strike.

Santa Fe style paints town gold

Saint Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe looks like a mountain of gold when the sun hits it full force.

A

s Cynthia places the towering plate of nachos in front of me – one-handedly, no less, a dip of the table signals just how big a challenge this is going to be. Dripping with molten cheese, my nachos look like a mountain of gold.

And that’s just the entree.

Half an hour later, Cynthia comes to check on me.

“You didn’t warn me,” I manage.

There’s still half a mountain to go.

“You look like you’re doin’ just fine, honey,” she laughs.

Before I can determine if that was a subtle insult, the main course arrives – a burrito.

My jaw drops, and not because I’m still hungry. How did they deliver this without a truck?

Santa Fe wears its history proudly and colourfully – it looks like the natural evolution of an Old West town you see in the movies.

I had expected New Mexico’s capital to be just another city of glass and steel. So imagine my surprise when I discover “the Santa Fe style”.

The city’s buildings all feature Pueblo adobe-style architecture, making it look as if Santa Fe has

Santa Fe has a style all of its own and wears it proudly, as the author of this story found out on a recent visit.

been sculpted rather than built.

Over the centuries, the territory that includes Santa Fe has been part of New Spain and Mexico. It then enjoyed a rare run of independence before finally ending up as part of the US – originally as a part of Texas. It wasn’t until 1912 that New Mexico became a state.

Today, Santa Fe is a city of the arts, and one that strives to stand apart from other cities. Art galleries are everywhere; it’s hard to turn a corner without walking into another boutique gallery, with no two styles the same.

Looney Tunes animator Chuck Jones has a gallery here, filled with Jones originals of Bugs Bunny and the Grinch.

Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin is a long-time resident and a patron of the arts scene. In 2013, Martin bought and restored the town’s historic Jean Cocteau Cinema, and in early 2015 funded the city’s Meow Wolf art collective.

In the middle of town is The Original Trading Post, which claims to have been established in 1603.

Given the kind of tacky trinkets on sale within, I’d believe it. Nobody’s impressed by lava lamps anymore, guys.

Especially not with Meow Wolf’s mind-blowing House of Eternal Return art installation close-by.

The Victorian-era house, which covers almost 2000 square metres, combines art and narrative by allowing visitors to choose their own path through secret passages and inter-dimensional portals as they try to solve a mystery.

And I thought the drive to get here was tough.

Stepping from the House back onto the streets of Santa Fe is like leaving a heightened reality by climbing a flight of steps: it’s just that arty here.

The heavy grey storm clouds, which have followed me all day, cast a shadow over Santa Fe’s

adobe-like buildings, and as the rain begins to fall it stains them heavily. It’s a remarkable sight.

As an Australian, I feel like a total alien – more so than in any other American city I’ve visited.

The atmosphere, the vistas and the style are all completely outside the usual points of reference, and it’s not even a look you ever see on-screen – except maybe in Road Runner cartoons.

This alienation doesn’t come into play with the friendly residents.

In desperate need for change to buy the local paper, I ask an older bloke sitting at the bar if he can break a George Washington.

“Hi,” he says. “How’re you doing?”

Talk about laid back. Uh, now about the change?

Instead, he tells me all about how he’d love to visit Sydney one day, but he’s put off by the travel.

“It’s a very long plane trip,” he laments.

STAYING THERE: Some of the more artistic accommodation available in Santa Fe includes the Old Santa Fe Inn, the Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, and the legendary La Posada de Santa Fe. Visit santafe.org for details.

I know, mate.

Hard-fought change in hand, I’m heading up the main street when the clouds finally part and let the sun through. And a powerful sun it is.

The light hits downtown’s Saint Francis Cathedral full force, and suddenly the secret brilliance of Santa Fe style is revealed.

It looks like a mountain of gold.

The MSA Outdoor Bowling Club opened its doors for its yearly open day in fine weather on Sat-

New Zealand completes clean sweep Rubin Statham and Finn Tearney have won the reverse singles rubbers in straight sets to complete a dominant Davis Cup weekend for New Zealand tennis in Christchurch.

Having clinched the tie with victory in Saturday’s doubles, Sunday’s reverse singles matches were reduced to best of three sets at Z Energy Arena,Wilding Park.

Tearney overcame stern resistance in the second set before completing a 6-1,6-3 victory over Mohammad Abid Ali Khan Akbar

to cap a fantastic Davis Cup debut on home soil for the 25 year old Wellingtonian.

Tearney will next head across the Tasman for an ITF Futures tournament in Alice Springs this week before playing an ATP Challenger event in Brisbane.

Rubin Statham recovered from a sluggish start to beat Pakistan number two Samir Iftikhar 6-4, 6-1 in the final singles rubber.

Iftikhar rolled his ankle in the opening game of the match and fell again in the third game, but

took it to Statham in a tight first set.

Statham had to twice rally from breaks down before closing out the set.

New Zealand’s most capped Davis Cup player then ran away with the match in the second set.

Having retained its place in Asia/Oceania Group One of Davis Cup for 2017, New Zealand now await next Friday’s draw to see who it will face in February’s first round.

South Korea, India, and Chi-

na are confirmed in Group one while Uzbekistan could join the group if it loses this weekend’s World Group qualifying tie against Switzerland in Tashkent (Switzerland lead 2-1).

All Blacks juggernaut continues to crush all before it

By GreGor Paul It’s getting a bit tricky to deny the gulf between the All Blacks and the rest of their Southern Hemisphere chums.

For the fourth game in a row there was daylight between them and their opponent.

The scoreline only partly tells the story – it doesn’t quite detail just how much and where there was daylight between the two teams.

New Zealand’s 41-13 win, combined with Australia’s 36-20 win over Argentina, meant that the All Blacks reclaimed the Rugby Championship title from the Wallabies with two rounds still to play.

South Africa could tick all the obvious and expected boxes such as set-piece solidity – although their scrum was creaking badly – and defensive linespeed and accuracy.

But they brought so little else and the days of being able to win a test on muscularity alone are long gone.

That sort of approach was able to keep them just about in touch

for 55 minutes or so before they capitulated.

And these days of limited game plans are gone because the All Blacks can tick all the foundation boxes and so many more.

Their ability to use the ball is reaching new and unprecedented heights.

How were the Boks ever going to compete against a team with a player like Dane Coles?

The All Blacks hooker set up two tries in the first half with beautifully-timed passes and then a third in the second when he threw a huge, perfect pass to Sam Whitelock on the wing.

A hooker firing a perfect long pass to a lock out in the open ... it’s just standard fare for the All Blacks but light years ahead of what the South Africans were capable of.

Then there is the speed of their movement and decision making.

They assess where the space is so quickly and effortlessly and flood the holes with runners.

The Boks could only stick a finger in the dam as it were: make so many tackles before they could no longer halt the black tide.

As per the custom, resistance began to wane as the final quarter arrived.

It was then, as they nearly always do, that the All Blacks shifted a gear. They upped the tempo, found the width and continuity and three quick tries to kill off the contest.

The final 10 minutes were about how much pride the Boks had and how disciplined the All Blacks could be in not trying to over-complicate things and get greedy.

Simple rugby had broken the Boks and simple rugby would be the way to add to their pain. Pass and catch and use the space – its simplicity was audacious but effectiveness breathtaking.

How many tests away the Boks are from being able to remotely emulate this type of rugby is hard to tell.

Their problems are extensive and some were self-inflicted.

They talked about soft moments having cost them in the recent past and vowed to cut them out.

To beat the All Blacks, it had to

Dane Coles be a 10-out-of-10 performance.

They couldn’t manage it.

After they constructed their impressive opening try when they found holes in the All Blacks’ defence up the middle and then stretched them wide, Elton Jantjies fumbled the kickoff 5m from his own line.

That sort of stuff is a killer, especially when the All Blacks put down a rock-solid scrum and scored two phases later when Israel Dagg was superbly played in

by Coles.

It was the old classic of being vulnerable straight after a score.

When teams play against the All

Blacks, they can’t afford to make things any easier than they need to be.

Every half-chance has to be converted, every tackle made and a bit of luck is probably a necessary these days, too.

They played a little too deep and laterally and were just a touch hesitant.

They also passed and ran from deep inside their own territory more than Springboks teams in the past would have dared.

It didn’t really do them any good and this is where they have to tidy their thinking.

How can they best mix their traditional strengths with their emerging hoard of adventurers?

Booting the ball down the other end always used to work for them and probably would again – except now they could be a little more expansive and creative with what they do without once they are down there.

New Zealand 41 (I. Dagg, J. Savea, B. Smith, A. Savea, S. Whitelock, TJ Perenara tries; B. Barrett 4 cons, pen) South Africa 13 (B. Habana try; E. Jantjies con, 2 pens). Halftime: 15-10.

Turbos upset Cantabs A contentious late try has given Manawatu one of the biggest upsets in recent NPC history. The Turbos toppled Canterbury 19-13 in Palmerston North to claim one of the province’s greatest wins in curious circumstances. Down by a point in the dying minutes, an attacking Manawatu kick caused a contest for the ball in the Canterbury ingoal. Johnny McNicholl thought he had safely grounded the ball, leaving trailing Manawatu’s Jackson Hemopo to causally plant a mitt on it, seemingly as an after-thought.

His decision proved to be pivotal, with TMO Chris Jansen ruling McNicholl hadn’t dealt with the danger, and awarding Manawatu the match-sealing try.

Hammers back in the hunt

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s Meads Cup aspirations received a boost with a 42-26 victory over HorowhenuaKapiti in Levin on Saturday.

The Hammers’ bonus point victory sees them move up to sixth place on the ladder with 12 points at the half way mark of this year’s Heartland Championship.

Tries came from Maleli Sau, Phil Watson, Jackson Donlan, Eric Duff and Richard Catherwood along with five conversions and a penalty from first five Jarred Percival saw Craig Dunlea

and James Jowsey’s men to their second win of the season.

Mid Canterbury led 18-0 at half time before Horowhenua-Kapiti fired back with 26 points in the second 40.

A double from imposing prop Rahiri Connor-Johnson and tries from Scott Cameron and Nathan Kendrick as well as a conversion from Warwick Lahmert rounded out the home side’s scoring.

With four more round robin fixtures remaining, Wanganui remain the only team with an unblemished record after downing a defiant King Country 22-10 in Te Kuiti.

The defending champions lead the chasing pack on 19 points with South Canterbury in hot pursuit on 17 after toppling Poverty Bay 52-28, while Buller and North Otago round out the top four on 16 and 15 points respectively.

Buller made light work of West Coast for a 48-0 win to secure their third win of the campaign after falling to a narrow two point loss to South Canterbury in week one.

Meanwhile North Otago extended East Coat’s winless run with a 48-8 thumping in Ruatoria.

Mid Canterbury’s week three tormentors Wairarapa Bush remain one place above the Hammers in fifth spot after taking their third successive victory, downing Thames Valley 28-18.

Mid Canterbury will welcome West Coast to the Ashburton Showgrounds next Saturday.

Heartland Championship week four: Mid Canterbury 42 (M. Sau, P. Watson, J. Donlan, E. Duff, R. Catherwood tries; J.Percival 5 con, pen). Horowhenua-Kapiti 26 (R. Connor-Johnson 2, S. Cameron, N. Kendrick tries; W. Lahmert con) HT: 18-0.

Counties stun Auckland The Counties Manukau Steelers have had more than their fair share of heartache this season, let alone against Auckland at Eden Park.

Close shaves in 1979, 1985 (most famously) and 2013 spring to mind on this ground. But now, for the first time since 1977, they have lowered their big brother on Eden Park. It will not have done coach Darryl Suasua’s heart much good after enduring his fifth tight result in six games, but he will enjoy the fact his side often played enterprising rugby mixed with a physical approach.

Chris Rattue runs the rule over the All Blacks’ efforts Chris Rattue’s player ratings from the All Blacks’ 41-13 victory over South Africa in Christchurch.

Ben Smith 6 Certainly not his finest work, a few fumbles, and the odd good run including neat try.

Israel Dagg 6 Saved the best for last, a tricky dicky pass which almost brought a try.

Malakai Fekitoa 4 Bad in a bad test. Ouch. Poor hands, nothing stylish on attack, bustling defence.

Ryan Crotty 5 Got away with one of the biggest forward passes in history. Otherwise, okay.

Julian Savea 6 Where are you, big guy? The odd burst,

one fine finish, but not enough to lift this dour test.

Beauden Barrett 7 More of a high speed battering ram than twinkle toed rapier. No magic moment, which is weird.

Aaron Smith 9 A fast, flat passing masterclass. Given space and took it. Great run and nifty pass to set up tries.

Kieran Read 8 But he still isn’t the Read of old. And we miss that bloke.

Ardie Savea 7 Took a while to get motoring...wouldn’t be a surprise if Todd gets a start though.

Jerome Kaino 7 Shock, horror - didn’t go the distance.

One stonking run but not the usual brutal impact before injury struck.

Sam Whitelock 5 A quiet test, like a lot of players. Ended up on the flank. Brushed off by Marx.

Brodie Retallick 6 Also below peak. A little late burst. Maybe drained by big effort against Pumas.

Owen Franks 6 Plenty of tackles. Could’t find his flamboyant side this time.

Dane Coles 9 Possibly a 10, for three brilliant and varied final passes for tries, in strong overall game. A rose among thorns.

Joe Moody 5 What is the often anonymous Moody all about? Great tackle on flying de Jongh though. Free Wyatt Crockett.

Reserves Codie Taylor (Coles, 67m) 5 Not much doing but one top scrum and

one not so great lineout.

Wyatt Crockett (Moody, 46m) 6 Terrific steal. Got away with a block on Hougaard.

Charlie Faumuina (Franks, 54m) 5 Good one week, quiet the next.

Luke Romano (A. Savea, 60m) 7 Bit more robust than the starting locks in his own stolid way.

Matt Todd (Kaino, 52m) 7 Hurtled about with gusto and almost created a wonder try in the corner.

TJ Perenara (Smith, 64m) 8 Hitting his straps as an understudy and alert as ever to try chances.

Lima Sopoaga (Dagg, 68m) 4 Couldn’t rise above token appearance.

Anton Lienert-Brown (Crotty) 6 More flashes of promise on defence and attack. Worth a start for Fekitoa?

In brief

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Raiders keep dream alive Canberra’s mountain men have kept their hopes of ending their 22-year premiership drought alive after surviving a second half scare to beat Penrith 22-12.

The Raiders are now one game away from a grand final appearance, booking themselves a trip to Melbourne to play the minor premiers on Saturday after eliminating Penrith.

“Playing against the best team in the competition next week.

“It’s going to be a very, very difficult task,” Raiders coach Ricky Stuart said.

“I was disappointed with 1520 minutes of our football in the second half.

“We were playing as if we were 40 up. If we play like that against Melbourne they will touch us up.

“They take huge advantage of teams making poor fundamental mistakes.”

Canberra’s big men dominated the Panthers, helping Canberra race to an 18-0 lead early in the second half.

A Matt Moylan-inspired Penrith comeback was not enough to snatch back the lead, despite the Panthers scoring two tries in eight minutes.

Josh Hodgson and Blake Austin were important inclusions to the Raiders squad.

Hodgson had limped from the field just seven days earlier with an ankle injury, which looked certain to not only rub him out of Saturday night’s game but also this

Raiders’ skipper Jarrod Croker was denied one try, but scored another to help get his team over the line. season. He showed no ill-effects of the injury, playing 71 minutes and finishing with 30 tackles.

A head knock prevented him from playing the full game.

Austin struggled at times with his injured hand and to make matters worse he limped through parts of the first half with a leg injury.

But before that, he made an immediate impact scoring the Raiders’ first try after 11 minutes.

Canberra had received another

set with a contentious call about the advantage not being played.

Taking advantage of slipping Penrith defenders Isaah Yeo and Suaia Matagi, Austin scored after stepping off his right foot.

The Raiders five-eighth went straight to the sideline to have further padding added to an already heavily strapped hand after this try.

Poor last-play options helped ease the pressure on the Panthers.

The home side extended their lead to 12 when Jordan Rapana crossed for a club record-equalling 22nd try.

Rapana again combined with Joey Leilua who put in a grubber kick for his winger to score.

The first half was almost a replica of their last-start loss to Cronulla, but the Raiders managed to keep hold of their 12-point lead.

Canberra could have had three first-half tries but skipper Jarrod Croker was correctly denied a try after attempting a one-on-one strip on Bryce Cartwright despite two men being in the tackle, before racing away under the posts.

The Panthers could not have started the second half more poorly.

Sitaleki Akauola was penalised and placed on report in the first tackle after the break for a high shot on Rapana. The Raiders forced a line drop-out from the penalty before Paul Vaughan easily brushed aside Trent Merrin to have Penrith on the back foot.

“Unfortunately we beat ourselves tonight, 18 was always going to be hard to run down,” Panthers coach Anthony Griffin said.

“We were up against it then.

The players are hurting.

“Unfortunately we put ourselves in that position.”

Canberra 22 (B. Austin, J. Croker, Rapana tries, J Croker 5 goals) bt Penrith 12 (T Peachey, D WateneZelezniak tries, N Cleary 2 goals).

Cronulla will be boosted by the return of key forwards Paul Gallen and Sam Tagataese for Friday’s NRL preliminary final against North Queensland. Gallen sat out the Sharks’ qualifying final victory over Canberra two weeks ago due to a back injury, and Tagataese hasn’t played in five weeks due to a shoulder problem. However, Sharks coach Shane Flanagan expects them both on deck for the Allianz Stadium battle with the reigning premiers.

Rookie welcomes break Penrith rookie Nathan Cleary says he’s ready for a break after his fairytale rise to the NRL came to a crashing end in Canberra on Saturday night. The game included two clutch sideline conversions from Cleary to keep his team in the game. It was yet another mature performance from the 18-year-old, who has enjoyed one of the more stunning ascensions to first grade in recent memory. But the son of former Panthers coach Ivan has welcomed the upcoming off-season ruling himself out of a return to the club’s under-20s preliminary final this week.

Foran gets a job

■ PARALYMPICS

Stedman adds another bronze to NZ tally New Zealand’s medal tally at the Paralympics has risen to 21 with a bronze to runner William Stedman on the track.

The 16-year-old from Christchurch secured his second medal of the Games, following his bronze in the 400m T36, with a personal best of 2:11.98 in the men’s 800m T36 event.

Paul Blake of Great Britain won silver and James Turner of Australia won gold in style with a world record time of 2:02.39.

Earlier cyclist Emma Foy, 27, who competes in the visually impaired event with pilot Laura Thompson, won a bronze medal in a time of 1:59.33, behind the tandems from Ireland and Poland, taking silver and gold respectively. The race was delayed and reduced to 70km from 85km but Foy and Thompson coped well and the key point in the race for them was a breakaway from the pack at the 50km mark.

It’s the second medal of the competition for the pairing of Foy and Thompson after they won silver in the women’s B3000m individual pursuit on the final day of racing at the Rio velodrome.

The New Zealand Paralympic team have won 21 medals, exceeding the pre-Games target of 18.

Gallen fit to return

Unsigned Kiwis international Kieran Foran has entered the workforce and started a job in retail as he continues to work towards returning to the NRL next season.

All sweet at Belmore

Sophie Pascoe’s massive medal haul must surely launch her into Halberg contention.

Meanwhile, could a paralympic athlete ever mount a stronger case to top the Halberg Awards than Sophie Pascoe this year?

Five medals at Rio 2016, three golds, a world record and New Zealand’s all-time greatest paralympic athlete.

With a total of 15 medals, including nine gold, Pascoe is a shining light of Kiwi sport.

A tragic lawn mower accident before her second birthday meant Pascoe’s left leg had to be amputated below the knee. She started swimming a year later

and has gone on to blaze a trail for paralympic sport in this country.

The charm of Pascoe’s achievements reached an emotional high in Rio when the Christchurch swimmer burst into tears on the dais.

Sitting at the bedside of her dying grandfather 14 years ago, Pascoe pledged to “Gragra” that she would win a Paralympic gold to honour him. She has done far more than that.

And at 23, Pascoe has another Olympic cycle in her and more medals for the taking.

Other great Kiwi paralympic athletes are joining Pascoe’s lead already, including fellow swimmer Mary Fisher, the only other athlete to win the disabled Halberg other than Pascoe since the category was added in 2011.

Pascoe has claimed the award four out of five times, but has never been seen by the judges as deserving the supreme award above her able-bodied peers.

And if the judges don’t deem her to have done so now, it’s difficult to see how they ever will.

Star playmaker Moses Mbye has refuted suggestions internal strife was to blame for Canterbury’s meek exit from the premiership race. Onfield frustration boiled over, not for the first time this year, when Mbye colourfully remonstrated with hooker Michael Lichaa as the Dogs desperately pressed for a late comeback. It was the second time Lichaa had been involved in a heated onfield debate. But Moses is adamant everything is OK at Belmore. “It’s all sweet,” he said. “My spray at Lichaa was just a bit of frustration coming out. It was just one of those things.”

Former Pukekohe trained galloper Admiral made a triumphant return to his former home patch when he streeted his rivals in yesterday’s Listed Haunui Farm Karaka Classic (1600m).

Although most pundits expected the free-going Align gelding to make the pace in the race, popular opinion had it that he would be found wanting by his better credentialed rivals at the business end of the contest.

Admiral and rider Viktoria Gatu initially followed that script as they set off at break neck speed to establish an early lead on their rivals however, as they approached the home turn, it became apparent no-one had told Admiral how the story was supposed to finish.

Gatu had the powerful gelding pinging along beautifully and increased the lead margin as they rounded the home bend as their rivals started to become urgent in their chase.

The pursuit was ineffectual though as Gatu and Admiral maintained a spirited gallop throughout as they relished the heavy underfoot conditions to lead all the way, easing down by just over five lengths at the winning post.

Cambridge visitor Blizzard closed strongly from well back to grab second while former Hong Kong galloper Willie Cazals showed he was returning to his better form with a tidy third.

Ecstatic trainer Stephen Ralph, who is now based at Te Rapa after moving from his initial Pukekohe base, admitted he had concerns about how his charge would cope with the 1600 metre journey after having never previously won past 1200 metres.

“That light weight was what we needed,” admitted Ralph after the race. “He was coming back home as this is where he started off so he knows the place well.

“I thought he was going to faint when they were so far out in front but good on Viktoria, a job well done.”

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Celebrate the fact that you think faster than you talk. This afternoon you’ll get into a position to win or lose someone’s esteem. Thinking twice or three times before you utter a word is advised.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You resist the task, but you know that it’s something you just have to do. Hunker down and do it, no complaints.

It will go quickly once you quiet your mind and get to work.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Some days are more special than others. You’ll reach out to people who are going through times of heightened emotion and intensity, and you’ll make it better for them.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): What you are naturally is enough. So much will be offered to you in the way of enhancements. They would be hard-pressed to make you better; you’re so good today.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Without the soul’s intention of being loving and beautiful, there is no gorgeous. It’s only a superficial alignment of elements. Gorgeous is as gorgeous does – and gorgeous does as gorgeous thinks.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re a masterful organiser and your flawless logic in this regard will be executed to perfection. Still, the wild gypsy in your soul wants to be free – of possession and other people’s definitions.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Achieving a certain goal might change what you do with your days, but that will not automatically change who you are inside. It takes emotional work to alter your emotional resonance.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You don’t want anyone to see what goes into making you seem super at what you do. This isn’t shame; it’s professionalism. Keep your own secrets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): To start a fire is one of the most elemental basic skills of human survival, and yet most humans haven’t learned to do it. Your fire-sign instincts will kick in today on an emotional level.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The most intriguing person may not be doing the things that you think are very intriguing at all, and yet it’s the way this person approaches life. It’s all in the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Mistakes are common, to be expected and definitely a highlight of the adventure. You have to wonder if that person trying so hard to avoid a mistake has something against fun.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your original intent was to help others, restore justice and make the world a better place. It’s not your fault that you will now reap an enormous benefit from the events your action has set in motion.

Cruden ruled out All Blacks five-eighth Aaron Cruden will miss the last two Rugby Championship Tests, as New Zealand deal with a significant injury toll.

Cruden’s groin injury has ruled him out of a 32-man squad which will be announced today to play Tests away to Argentina on October 1 and South Africa in Durban a week later. Cruden joins flanker Sam Cane (hamstring) in missing the trip, with both a chance to be fit for the Test against Australia in Auckland on October 22.

Murrays haul GB back

The strain is obvious in their faces as Josiah Middaugh (left) and Braden Currie take it right down to the wire yesterday.

PHOTO JESSE PETERS

Currie in tightest finish ever Methven’s Braden Currie put it all on the line, literally, at the XTERRA Pan America Championship in Utah, United States yesterday.

In a desperate bid to wrest the inaugural title from Josiah Middaugh, Currie slid towards the finish tape.

But, in a cruel twist of fate, the 30-year-old’s outstretched leg did not have his timing device on it, allowing reigning XTERRA World Champion Middaugh to snatch the win by the smallest 7/100th of a second margin.

In what was the closest finish in XTERRA’s 21-year-history, Currie had led Colorado-based Middaugh for the whole 1.5km swim, 28km mountain bike and 10km trail run up to the last five metres.

Despite his obvious disappointment, Currie took plenty of positives from the race as he attempts to better his 2015

runner-up result at the XTERRA World Championships in Hawaii next month.

Currie has recovered from a recent calf strain and will be able to dedicate the next five weeks to mountain biking, after having a largely road bike-focused past six months.

The event began strongly for Currie, who lined up with a massive 35-pro athlete field for the swim.

He worked his way into the top bunch of four and exited with them into the first transition.

Using his lightning-quick changeover skills, Currie was first away on the punishingly steep 28km mountain bike ride.

It featured 1036 metres of climbing and was an uphill battle for the entire first hour.

“This sort of big climbing course seems to suit me, I got to the Sardine Peak Trail summit

(2225m) and this is where Josiah caught me last year,” said Currie.

“So my goal this year was to get there without him in sight, which I did.”

A technical descent followed, and Currie kept the pace up to arrive into the run transition 23 seconds ahead of Middaugh.

After only four days acclimatising to Ogden’s higher altitude, the run, which began at Snowbasin resort at 1950m, was “pretty brutal,” according to Currie.

“I felt like I was breathing through a straw on the climbs,” he said.

“I knew that would be the toughest part with Josiah, as he is really strong on the climbing because he lives and trains at altitude in Vail, Colorado”.

Middaugh alternately gained and lost time to Currie over the single loop run zig-zagging its way along a scenic trail and featuring a few short, very steep,

uphill sections with about 250 metres of climbing.

The last fateful descent was where Middaugh started to gain ground on his rival.

Sprinting down the finish chute, Currie still had a four second advantage, but then, in the final five metres, Middaugh edged alongside and in desperation the Kiwi athlete drove a leg forward under the line.

“If only I knew which foot my timing chip was on,” said Currie.

The closeness of this race has only fuelled Currie’s desire and increased his commitment to his main goal of becoming a world champion this year.

“I intend to put everything into the next five weeks and our plan to stay in Lake Tahoe after the Pan Am Champs and train,” he said.

“It is the best possible training environment I could hope for going into the Hawaiian event.”

Andy Murray fought through exhaustion, teaming with his brother Jamie to keep Britain alive 1-2 in the Davis Cup World Group semifinal against Argentina with a 6-2 3-6 6-4 6-4 doubles victory. The must-win rubber for the holders in the worldwide team competition took nearly three hours, putting Andy Murray’s court time over two weekend matches at eight hours.

“Yesterday was a very tough day and to get the win today with Jamie was great,” Andy said.

GWS, Cats in box seat Adelaide coach Don Pyke suspects Geelong may face Greater Western Sydney in the AFL grand final, suggesting the week off still holds a lot of value. The Cats host Sydney at the MCG on Friday night, while GWS are up against Western Bulldogs at Spotless Stadium on Saturday. Pyke is in agreement with bookmakers, who have installed Geelong and GWS as favourites. Geelong and GWS both earned a week off following qualifying-final wins over Hawthorn and Sydney respectively.
