It is Methven’s biggest event of the year, and went off without a hitch.

The Methven Rodeo attracted a crowd of around 5000, and brought hundreds of thousands of dollars into town.

Spokesperson Dave Harper said the 47th annual event had been bigger than last year’s, with yesterday’s warm and sunny weather to thank for attracting extra crowds.

In addition there had been a bigger emphasis on side shows, stalls and rides for children.

“We are trying to orientate it more towards families,” he said.

The approximate 300 cowboys and cowgirls competing had come from throughout New Zealand. They had been a fit and healthy bunch, with lots of training under their leather belts.

Consequently, injuries had been few.

He was aware of just one dislocated shoulder, as well as the usual bumps and bruises.

“There was no helicopter rides, that was a bonus,” Harper said. There had also been no ambulance rides.

Secretary Rosa Harper said the bulls had proved too tough and none of the dozen or so cowboys in the event lasted the eight seconds required.

“The bulls won the day,” she said.

The Methven community was another big winner, with 10 per cent of entry fees going to Methven Lions Club which looked after the gate, and much of the annual proceeds also donated back to the community.

In the past two years alone the club had donated $10,000 to local groups including most recently Methven Care Trust.

Dave said the shift several years ago to not allowing BYO alcohol and just having an onsite bar was continuing to work well and prevent intoxication issues. A bar operated on the premises, and there was to be an after party at Mount Hutt Memorial Hall with live performers last night.

Father and son duo Pat McCarthy and Patrick McCarthy took out the team roping, while Rakaia cowboy Adam Williams won the open bareback.

For the saddle bronc Lane Whitelock was the champ, and other winners were Klay Lanigan in steer wrestling, Jenny Atkinson in the barrel race, and Corey Church in rope and tie.

In brief PM answers phone When an Australian journalist wanted to find out how to correctly pronounce the name of New Zealand’s incoming prime minister, he went straight to the top. Tiger Webb of Australia’s ABC Radio called New Zealand Parliament on Friday to find out how Jacinda Ardern pronounces her surname. Webb was transferred to the Labour Party’s offices, and none other than Ardern herself answered the phone. The brief phone conversation sparked some lively Twitter banter after an impressed Webb tweeted about the incident.

Blessing for marae carvings

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

More than 10 traditional Maori carvings were blessed in a special ceremony held at Hakatere Marae yesterday.

“It more or less completes the complex,” said marae spokesper-

son Janet Benfell.

About 80 people attended the blessing, which began shortly after 5am on a pleasant clear morning.

Master carver Alex McLeod, from Rolleston, had completed the works and he acknowledged

Ashburton master carver Vince Leonard who began them.

The carvings, from totara, feature in the entrance porch of a wharenui which is the main marae building.

The marae has been at the site since about 1970 and it is used

for a wide range of community events such as Matariki, Waitangi Day and Anzac Day. Among those attending yesterday was Te Tai Tonga MP Rino Tirikatene, Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel and councillors, and MP Jo Luxton.

Police have arrested a man after an assault in Hastings left a 49-yearold Napier man critically injured.

Police are seeking witnesses to the assault in Karamu Road at 1.15am yesterday. A 41-year-old Hastings man, who is known to the victim, has been arrested in relation to the alleged assault. The victim is in Hawke’s Bay Hospital in a critical condition.

Quake near Kaikoura

Ardern talks tough on fair access for Kiwis

A magnitude 5.4 earthquake has been recorded near Kaikoura, the coastal settlement in the South Island still recovering from a 7.8 quake last year. The quake was recorded at 5.10pm yesterday, GeoNet says. It was centred 10km west of Kaikoura with a depth of 13km. Of the 1365 people who registered online to say they felt the quake, 793 said it was weak.

Fire and Emergency NZ said it had not received any calls relating to the quake.

- NZME

Incoming New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern hopes the Turnbull government doesn’t go ahead and restrict Kiwis from university courses in Australia as she may be forced to end a reciprocal arrangement.

Ardern said yesterday she hopes the mutual access continues.

Ardern made the comments during the election campaign in response to New Zealanders living in Australia losing access to affordable university study.

“But if we do find New Zealanders aren’t able to access tertiary education the same way as Australians currently do, there

will be flow-on effects here,” she said.

“I hope it doesn’t come to that, I hope that we have that degree of mutual policy and access that we have had in the past.”

She also intends to stick with the 11-member trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations as long as she can limit foreign investment in New Zealand housing.

“Our view has been that there has to be a balance between delivering for our exporters but also making sure we can protect the ability of New Zealanders to buy homes,” she said.

She insists her Labour government believes in free trade and

will do so in the future. But she said the economy must deliver for all New Zealanders.

“At the moment New Zealanders are not seeing the gains of economic prosperity,” she said.

“What is the point, for instance, of having up to three per cent growth when you have some of the worst homelessness in the OECD.” Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has congratulated Ms Ardern, who says she hopes to travel across the Tasman to meet with Mr Turnbull soon. She said Turnbull had extended an invitation for her to come anytime.

When asked if she plans to

speak with Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, she said she intends to meet with her in the near future.

Turnbull said on Friday that now was not the time for “scratching away at past political episodes”, referring to comments Bishop made in August that suggested she would find it hard to trust a Labour government in Wellington.

“I’ve got no doubt we will work together effectively and confidentially and constructively as Australian and New Zealand prime ministers have done from different political persuasions across the ditch for generations,” he said.

■ WOOLF FISHER FELLOWSHIP

Prestigious prize for principal

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Methven Primary School’s principal is the stunned recipient of a prestigious prize which will see him jetting off on a fully-funded 10-week educational trip to the US, UK and Europe.

In the recently announced 2017 Woolf Fisher fellowship, three primary school teachers were plucked from around the country for their “educational excellence”. Chris Murphy was the only primary school principal to be selected from the South Island.

Recipients are offered a 10week trip to observe overseas education, along with a 10-day leadership course at Harvard School of Education.

Murphy said due to the secretive nature of the selection process, the news came as a “huge surprise”.

“It was a massive shock to open the envelope,” he said.

“It’s not every day you win something like that.”

Murphy said he will be observing at and drawing from some of the “best practice around” to bring useful information back to

his school – in particular looking at flexible learning spaces and collaborative teaching.

Murphy and the board of trustees celebrated the news with a surprise morning tea for the rest of the school’s staff, who were all keen to congratulate Murphy on the “well-deserved recognition”.

“This is an amazing award for Chris,” said board of trustees chairman Mark Taylor “and a great recognition of his work for Methven Primary School and education in Mid Canterbury.”

Murphy has spent 20 years working in the education industry and five years at the helm of Methven Primary School, which is the only school in the region to have back-to-back five-year ERO reports.

Sir Woolf Fisher of Fisher & Paykel established the WoolfFisher trust in 1960 to enrich New Zealand education and give deserving teachers and principals recognition.

Nearly 1100 fellowships have been awarded to date.

Murphy said he is not sure exactly when he will undertake the trip, but it will likely be in term two of 2018.

Right – Chris Murphy has spent five years at the helm of Methven Primary School, and 20 years in the education industry – and now his hard yards have earned him a prestigious fellowship.

Velodrome plan quietly ticking away in background

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It was initially considered as an add-on to the EA Networks Centre, but a central velodrome may have moved off Ashburton’s cycling community’s radar.

One of its keenest promoters Donald Sutton said the project had not disappeared, however.

Funds continued to come in to its trust account and the drive to

when the group made a bid to have Ashburton secure government funding that would have set it up as a centre of cycling excellence.

The bid was not successful, but the velodrome trust continued to pitch for an indoor track to be part of the new indoor stadium, saying it would still be the South Island’s cycling hub.

The idea was supported by

the Ashburton Stadium Trust in 2011. It was estimated to come with a $7 million price tag and the velodrome trust had already started fundraising. It gave itself a five-year timeframe to have the facility completed.

Three years later they were looking at a longer timeframe, saying they wanted to see the stadium up and running before their project started.

My Promise

There are still no firm plans for the facility and Sutton said as funds build, there could be a change of tack and the trust may decide to make significant investments in its own track at Tinwald instead.

“We’d still love to do this but at this stage we need the support of the council and that’s just not there. We’ve had no real discussions,” he said.

“

As far as being a part of the next stage of development at the EA Networks Centre, Sutton said it would take some interest and probably financial commitment from the Ashburton District Council to kickstart the project.

■ ASHBURTON MENZSHED

Sharing skills with community

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

They might be officially retired, but members of Ashburton’s Menzshed can often be found putting in a full day’s work, and they won’t see a cent for their efforts.

Officially there are about 60 members on the books and they bring with them skills gathered over a lifetime. They’re retired builders, engineers, electricians, welders, farmers and even the odd accountant or two. And they’re all motivated by just one thing – keeping busy and active in retirement by working for their community.

But right now their focus is on bringing their new shed on Williams Street up to top working standard. The group moved out of its original Methven Highway base in April and since then they’ve been flat out turning a shed rescued from a demolition site into a high performance workshop. And they’ve made huge progress.

“This was just one big open shed when we moved it here and we’ve put up walls, put in insulation, created a kitchen and meeting room – we’re just about there, said chairman Stewart Dunlop.

The pressure is on to have all of their equipment out of storage and to have the workshop running at full speed by their public open days on November 21, 22 and 23.

“That’ll be our chance to let the public see what we’re about,” Dunlop said.

Ashburton’s Menzshed was formed in 2014 and is one of 26 in Canterbury.

“It’s a movement based around men’s health and it started locally because Presbyterian Support was looking for something for men on their books to become involved in,” he said.

Over the years Ashburton’s group has become much more.

It now does work for many community groups, the toy library, kindergartens and museums and works on projects that no one else wants to do, does small jobs for people who can’t manage them themselves and in the future plans

some DIY courses for women.

“What we don’t do is the jobs that tradesmen would do. We don’t want to take their money away.

We do the jobs that they wouldn’t want to do, that are too small for them to do,’ Dunlop said.

Across the range of skills their members have, just about anything can be made or fixed, he said.

A first aid trained supervisor is always on site when the shed’s in business and all members are given training on equipment they may be unfamiliar with.

One of its bigger jobs was the restoration of a wool wagon for Mesopotamia station.

The Menzshed is also about companionship and in the new building there’s a large lounge and well equipped kitchen (removed from a member’s kitchen). Everything in the building has been swapped, gifted or built from scratch.

Currently several men are building a large table for the social room out of a massive slab of macrocarpa. It’s been sanded to a fine finish and metal legs and end pieces are being created.

While it works for the community, the organisation is also reliant on community support to keep it in business. Grants from the Lion Foundation, Mid South Canterbury Trust, ACL and EA Networks to name just a few are big contributors, Dunlop said.

Its huge equipment and tool stocks have come from donations and there’s a good business in trading surplus stock between the Canterbury sheds, he said.

Most often what it does in the way of repairs can be done with material members have stockpiled, but if the job needs something extra, then the person getting the work done is asked to supply materials.

There’s never a shortage of work but in the race to get the new shed finished, community jobs are pretty much on hold. If there’s any spare time they’ll make planter boxes with spare wood and have made dozens of vermin traps for DOC.

Working together at Ashburton’s Menzshed are Don Duff (left) and Stewart Dunlop.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 191017-SN-004

While making and fixing things is the shed’s purpose, it’s about more than that Dunlop said; it’s also about men enjoying a laugh, a coffee and companionship.

“You can come down here and you don’t have to do anything if that’s what you want,” he said.

With its new centrally located workshop open for business, Dunlop hopes membership will again build to earlier levels of 100 plus.

Entering the Impressions exhibition, it’s easy to feel a sense of serenity. Rippling Canterbury scenery meets organic hues in a 44-piece feast for the eyes. But painting the pieces can be far less serene and more sandfly-filled, say the team behind the plein-air exhibition.

“Painting on site … it takes you on a journey,” said Alison Ramsay, “and it comes with constant challenges.”

The artists recount battles with dirt, seeds, dog hair and sandflies; canvases dropped in rivers; encounters with wind and rain and paint spills throughout their cars.

Debbie Lambert said on one occasion, the wind was blowing so hard she had to tie herself and an easel to a concreted-in DOC sign.

“Now that was extreme painting.”

But she said “plein-air painting is the best job in the world”.

“You form a relationship with an area. Foodies might be drawn to a particular smell – but we see something and it grabs us.”

Nine artists have contributed to the exhibition, and many work together at weekends or on day trips. Jac Sparks said days out in the open are “very bonding”, but she also enjoys moments alone, “snatching time alone when she can” with her dog and her canvas.

When working together, the artists said it is amazing to see how differently one another can interpret a scene – hence the name Impressions.

A group of artists have swapped their studio for the great outdoors to deliver a captivating exhibition at the Ashburton Art Gallery. They are (from left) Jac Sparks, Alison Ramsay and Debbie Lambert.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN use,” said Lambert. “You know, if a group of people look at a tree one person might see the bark, another person might see the branches, one person might see the beehive … It’s what’s most relevant, most inspiring to you.”

Ramsay recounts an area of trees which look to her like dancers with tutus.

“Everyone else probably sees some trees in a paddock – but I’ll

show them what I mean one day,” she said.

The artists said contrary to expectation, time spent plein air painting doesn’t always involve brush-on-canvas action.

“You’ve got to sit, think, look,” said Ramsay. “A lot of it is the observation, taking in the detail,” said Lambert.

“I think, because of that, since I started doing plein air work my

art has improved.”

Two styles of plein air painting feature in the exhibition – alla prima work, which is done startto-finish on site, and work which is started on site and touched up at home.

Impressions runs until November 5 at Ashburton Art Gallery, and is open daily from 10am until 4pm. All artwork is on sale, ranging in price from $350 to $5500.

Ardern to embody NZ spirit Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

T

he Labour Party faces a challenging three years within the new coalition government framework.

It will be wanting to meet the many high hopes it has inspired leading into the election. It also has the Winston factor to counter in, and faces formidable opposition in the form of National, which will not let it forget that as an individual party it received more votes.

Whether Labour can retain power in such a tough environment is yet to be seen, and one term may end up being its moment in the sun.

Nevertheless, I personally am excited by having a fresh face at the helm in the form of Labour Party leader and new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

According to former National government minister of defence Wayne Mapp, prime ministers can embody the spirit of a nation, and Ardern will convey New Zealand “as a dynamic young country where interesting things can happen”.

The fact she is female is something for us to be proud of as well, especially in the country which was the first to allow women to vote. I was equally proud when Mid Canterbury’s own Jenny Shipley took office, and then Helen Clark.

Federated Farmers is no doubt cautious about the new government but is taking a positive approach.

President Katie Milne congratulated the PM and coalition partners on finding a consensus, and said Feds were ready to get around the table and talk.

ACT was not quite as gracious, and leader David Seymour referred to Winston Peters as “a madman on the loose”, to which the weak left-wing coalition was now beholden.

“The silver lining for the centre right is that the three-ringed circus is likely to fall apart – perhaps even before its three years are up. The Greens and New Zealand First despise each other,” Seymour said.

Oh well, besides getting together for a pity party, there’s not much he and others in the indignant centre to far right can do right now.

Engaging genuinely as Milne said sounds like a good idea, though.

“Let’s give the new government a chance and let’s hope they can make decisions based on unity and mutual trust,” she said.

We will be a strong and effective opposition R

elief.

Yes, relief.

The election that wouldn’t end is finally over.

While I’m incredibly disappointed that National hasn’t been returned to Government, I can say with absolute certainty that we will be a strong and effective opposition.

With 56 MPs the National Party is by far the largest party in Parliament.

Under our MMP voting system that counts for little. Winston Peters and his eight MPs have determined that Jacinda Ardern will lead the next Government.

She inherits a strong and growing economy.

Under Bill English’s leadership, the Government’s books are strongly back in surplus after running deficits during the Global Financial Crisis.

Unemployment nationally is the lowest it’s been in a decade, and employment locally is at record highs.

As an opposition we won’t let the Labour-NZ First-Greens Government squander what New Zealanders have worked so hard to achieve.

Locally I’ll continue to speak up for increased infrastructure spending.

During the election campaign the National Party committed to building a fourlane highway between Ashburton and Christchurch.

Labour and the Greens have said that money should instead be spent on

Andrew Falloon

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

Auckland rail projects.

I don’t accept that. Cantabrians pay a lot in fuel taxes; that money should be spent locally.

Over recent years we’ve rolled out Ultrafast Broadband to Ashburton, with Methven and Lake Hood next on the list.

I challenge the new Government to follow through on National’s pledge to continue to invest in a growing local economy, ensuring we get our fair share.

As part of National’s last Budget in May, we legislated for a $2 billion Family Support Package that will from April next year lift the incomes of 1.3 million families by an average of $26 per week through tax changes and Working for Families payments.

It gives support to those most in need, with families on lower incomes more than $100 a week better off.

Both the Greens and NZ First voted for it in Parliament.

Unfortunately Labour have said they’ll scrap the package, meaning those families will pay more in tax than if the package remained. The Greens and NZ First should do the right thing and push Labour to retain the Family Support Package.

Those are just the tax changes we know about.

During the election the Labour

Party campaigned strongly for a water tax, despite all the evidence from regional New Zealand of the damage it would cause.

At the time of writing the prospect of a water tax hasn’t been ruled out.

Incredibly, they still haven’t told us how much their water tax would be.

Worse, is the fact that it’s a tax only on the regions.

Labour’s policy specifically exempts urban areas from paying a water tax. Farmers in Mid Canterbury will pay, but major water users in Auckland like Coca-Cola won’t.

It’s been estimated that 40 per cent of the water tax – $40 million – would come from the Ashburton District, which makes up just 0.7 per cent of New Zealand’s population.

With the economy growing strongly, and the Government’s books firmly back in surplus, now is not the time to be increasing taxes.

ously and last term ADC commissioned a Section 17A – Delivery of Services Review on economic development and tourism. This review was delivered to an extraordinary meeting of Council on 14 April 2016, by Peter Winder from McGredy Winder Limited.

As many of you will recall, on the matter of economic development, Council decided to end its contractual arrangement with Grow Mid Canterbury.

In regards to tourism, it was resolved “That council thanks Peter Winder and receives his report, and recommends that council continues to work with Experience Mid Canterbury to address

the issues raised in the report in the 2016/17 year.”

There are a couple of statements from the McCredy Winder report that I wish to highlight.

Firstly, “The two i-SITEs consume a very large share of its (Experience Mid Canterbury’s) resources and management”. The consultant added, “two activities, that offer greater potential returns than I-SITEs are marketing Mt Hutt and attracting, developing and growing events”.

ence Mid Canterbury Board publicly announced its intention to close both i-SITEs and sought feedback on that decision. After considering the feedback, it decided to close Ashburton and retain Methven.

On Thursday, September 21, 2017, Ashburton District Council received a petition, delivered by Mrs Karen McIntyre on the closure of the Ashburton i-SITE. Council staff are preparing a report, in response to that petition for council to consider. This will be received at the meeting of October 26, 2017.

■ PHILIPPINES

Top terror suspect dead DNA tests have confirmed the death of one of the FBI’s most-wanted terror suspects, who the Philippine military reported was killed in a final battle to quell an Islamic State group-linked siege in southern Marawi city.

US Embassy spokeswoman Molly Koscina said DNA tests done in Virginia at the request of the Philippine military confirmed the death of Isnilon Hapilon.

Washington has backed efforts by the Philippines to combat terrorism for years.

“This is yet another example of how the US is supporting

our friend, partner and ally in the fight against terror,” Koscina said.

Hapilon and Omarkhayam Maute, another leader of the Marawi siege, were killed in a gunbattle last week in a push by thousands of troops to retake the last pocket of the Islamic city held by the militants, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

The Philippine military believes that Mahmud bin Ahmad, a top Malaysian militant and close associate of Hapilon, had also been killed in the Marawi clashes, although his body has yet to be recovered

by troops. DNA tests were also being done on the remains of other suspects who have been recovered by troops, Lorenzana said.

The confirmation of the deaths of Hapilon and Maute would pave the way for the payment of huge US and Philippine bounties.

A rescued 16-year-old hostage provided the crucial information that allowed troops to locate Hapilon and Maute in one building in Marawi, Lorenzana said.

The US State Department had offered a reward of up to $US5 million ($NZ6.5 million)

for Hapilon, who Washington blames for ransom kidnappings of several Americans, one of whom was beheaded in 2001 in southern Basilan province. Hapilon had been indicted in the District of Columbia for his alleged involvement in terrorist acts against US nationals and other foreigners.

A soft-spoken Islamic preacher born to a family of militants on southern Basilan island, Hapilon had been linked to several major attacks in the southern Philippines, including kidnappings, bombings and attacks on urban centres.

■ SPAIN

Spain demands ousting of Catalonia’s rulers The entire regional government of Catalonia should be dismissed and new elections should be held there within six months, the Spanish government says.

Madrid asked to dismiss Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and all his ministers, and to bring regional public media under Madrid’s direct control, after Puigdemont dodged repeated requests to set aside separatist plans.

“The Spanish government has undertaken the worse attack on the institutions and the people of Catalonia since [Francisco] Franco,” Puigdemont said in an evening statement, referring to the dictator that ruled Spain from 1939 to 1975.

Spanish government actions are “a direct attack on democracy,” Puigdemont added, announcing that the Catalan parliament will meet to discuss a response to them.

In a show of relative moderation, he did not specifically call for the assembly to vote on independence.

Hours earlier, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he was not asking to “suspend the autonomy or the self-government of Catalonia,” but to

Protesters hold up signs during a march to protest against the National Court’s decision to imprison civil society leaders, in Barcelona, Spain.

PHOTO AP dismiss the “people who have placed this self-government outside the law”.

His proposals, under the never-used-before article 155 of the constitution, will nevertheless put an end to Catalonia’s home rule prerogative, and mark an escalation of Spain’s biggest political crisis since a failed coup d’etat in 1981.

As it acquires control of Catalan ministries, Madrid will assume responsibility over security, public order, finance, tax and budgetary measures, and telecommunications, a government statement indicated.

Article 155 allows for the suspension of a region’s autonomy if it does not fulfil its obligations to the state. Its activation requires Senate consent, but a

green light is anticipated because there is cross-party consensus.

The upper chamber is expected to hold a final vote on 155 on Friday.

Saturday also saw approximately 450,000 people take to the streets of Barcelona to demand the release of leading Catalonian independence campaigners Jordi Sanchez and Jordi Cuixart, who were placed in pre-trial detention on Monday on charges of sedition.

Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, Puidgemont and his ministers were among the protesters.

Catalan authorities have been threatening to declare independence after a disputed October 1 referendum. About 90 per cent of voters opted to break off from Spain, but turnout was only 43 per cent, and the Spanish Constitutional Court said the ballot was illegal.

Catalonia has 7.5 million people and accounts for almost 20 per cent of the Spanish economy. Its nationalist pride is boosted by a separate language and culture, but its society is deeply split on secession, with an apparent slight majority for the unionists.

Nearly a reunion Former Spice Girl Mel C will be joined by three of her former bandmates in her latest music video. The near-reunion takes place in the singer’s crowdsourced visuals for Room For Love which features cameos from Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner. Only Mel B is missing from the video which brings together crowd footage of Mel C and montages of fans and stars performing into their phones and cameras from across the world. Beckham, who reportedly scuppered a full Spice Girls reunion last year, is shown making a love heart with her hands while Bunton sings along to the track.

Beach Boys

Tornado hits venue High winds and torrential rains accompanying a likely tornado tore part of the roof off of an Oklahoma casino where the Beach Boys were playing a concert attended by state governor Mary Fallin. Fallin said she had to be evacuated from the Riverwind Casino in Norman, Oklahoma, twice during the concert yesterday. She said that she realised there was serious damage when she was walking through the auditorium of the casino. “I looked up towards the balcony and there was this huge flood of rain coming through the roof,” Fallin said.

The building was evacuated because of concern the roof would collapse, she said.

She says that she also saw damage at a nearby hotel.

■ EGYPT

Gunmen kill 54 Egyptian police Priscilla Presley At least 54 policemen, including 20 officers and 34 conscripts, were killed when a raid on a militant hideout southwest of Cairo escalated into an all-out firefight.

The officials said the exchange of fire began in the alWahat al-Bahriya area in Giza province, about 135 kilometres southwest of Cairo.

The firefight began when security forces acting on intelligence moved against a militants’ hideout in the area.

Backed by armoured personnel carriers and led by senior counterterrorism officers, the police contingent drew fire and rocket-propelled grenades, according to the officials.

The officials said what happened next is not clear, but indications suggest that the force ran out of ammunition and that the militants captured several policemen and later killed them. One officer managed to escape in his armoured vehicle, they added.

The officials said the police force appeared to have fallen into a carefully planned ambush set up by the militants.

Egypt’s Interior Ministry, which is in charge of police, announced a much lower death toll, saying that 16 were killed in the shootout. It added that 15 militants were killed or injured.

The last time Egypt’s security forces suffered such a heavy loss of life was in July 2015 when militants from the

extremist Islamic State group carried out a series of coordinated attacks, including suicide bombings, against army and police positions in the Sinai peninsula, killing at least 50.

However, the army said only 17 soldiers and over 100 militants were killed.

No militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which bore all the hallmarks of the Islamic State group.

■ NEW ZEALAND

Brewing up a Kiwi icon

The Speight’s Brewery in Dunedin.

W

inston Churchill said it best: “History is told by the victors” and who better to learn from, than the brains behind New Zealand’s most popular beer, Speight’s.

Keeping Kiwis refreshed since 1876, Speight’s has been quietly churning out award-winning brews year after year, while still staying put in their homeland of Dunedin.

In 1983, Speight’s was one of the first places in the world to host heritage tours in an operational brewery. And after 34 years, the Speight’s Brewery and Heritage Tour has just undergone a $1.3 million facelift.

Design team Art of Fact was given the task of retelling the story of Speight’s in just two months; including rewriting the entire script, redesigning heritage displays and installing new and creative interactive technology to make this tour as immersive and engaging as possible.

Director David Hebblethwaite is proud of the outcome, narrowing the success to how it sticks with the staff.

“The guides love it and that’s fantastic . . . it means if the guides love it, the people will

The evolution of Dunedin’s Speight’s Brewery continues with a redesigned tour, writes Daniel Simmonds. love it”. The new tour is built around a simple but effective structure. Hebblethwaite boils it down to three steps: “Tell them, tell them what you told them, then tell them what you told them again.”

The goal of the new tour is to give visitors information using new visual and interactive technology, then putting this knowledge to the test; seeing, touching and tasting your way through the brewing process.

A great tour focuses on the journey, rather than the destination. A greater tour focuses on the journey, and has beer at the destination.

The end of this tour winds up in the newly renovated tasting room, where you can use your newfound knowledge to identify your hops, malts and sugars.

Photographers are on call to take a picture while you stand behind the bar and pour yourself one of 10 beers from the new

tap, including a few exclusive ales not found outside Dunedin.

The new and improved gift shop perfectly caps off the tour experience – there’s everything from key chains to Swanndris and the best seller, a beer cosy fashioned into a glove.

I had the honour of seeing the action first-hand at the official Speight’s launch, seeing the $40m addition from 2014, while meeting the staff and designers who had worked so hard on this project.

Being a Southern man, I traced back to my Invercargill roots, donning my red Swanndri and wool socks, then immediately regretting that decision as I stood among 60 suits.

That all changed as soon as the Southern Man himself, Denis Henderson walked through the doors.

Memories flooded back as he brought out his guitar to play the Speight’s anthem (who could

It was also a pleasure, after the tour, talking to the staff about the preparation required on their end.

The guides had to unlearn a 35-year-old script from the previous tour for a new one within two weeks and the brewers were all forever dedicated and hardworking.

It felt like a family business the way everyone got along – and in some ways it was, among the staff there are brothers and sis-

ters, others were following a long family lineage of past Speight’s brewers.

For a fixed adult price of $29 (including tasting), the 90-minute tour is a hard deal to turn down.

Speight’s marketing director Jane Dempsey says the tour celebrates the story of one of New Zealand’s iconic beer brands.

“The new tour will continue to celebrate our 140 years of history, and to tell the Speight’s story as we move into the future.”

Here’s to another 140 years!

Melbourne City inflicted a second loss of the season on the Nix on Saturday, Ross McCormack’s thunderous 68th-minute free kick the difference between the two teams. Wellington have now recorded back-to-back losses.

■ CRICKET

Runs flow freely in T20

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

If the Mid Canterbury T20 competition is any pointer to the cricket season ahead, there is good reason to be excited, with plenty of topsy-turvy results coming in from the second week of play.

In the first round of games, Allenton and Tech played out a high scoring thriller, after Tech won the toss and elected to bat first. They were able to put an impressive 203 runs on the board from their 20 overs, only losing three wickets in the process.

Jason Morrison led the way with the bat, hitting 53 runs, while captain Callum Gallagher had a rapid-fire 43 not out off 16 balls, with three other batsmen also reaching 30 runs.

Every Allenton player was thrown the ball for at least one over, with Jordan Bird the most notable, taking one wicket for two runs off one over.

Lyall Jemmett and Bird led the way in Allenton’s run chase, picking up 45 runs and 30 not out respectively.

However the total eventually proved too much, with Tech winning by seven runs after Allenton finished their 20 overs 196-9.

In the other match, Methven looked to back up their first week win with another, this time against Lauriston.

The batted first, and thanks to Matt Winter’s 67 and Toby Redfern’s 32 not out, Methven were able to reach 188 runs in their 20 overs.

Scott Morgan led the Lauriston bowling attack, and took three wickets.

Despite some strong batting performances in the chase, Lauriston were only able to amass 132 runs, with Bevan Richan hitting 52.

Mark Wareing was the pick of Methven’s bowlers, taking three wickets.

In the afternoon Methven saw their winning run come to an end, with Allenton beating them by seven wickets.

Methven won the toss and chose to bat, but were only able to reach 133/9, with Davey Maw registering a good knock of 61, while Mitch Sim was next highest with 24.

Jack Dudley, Ryan Bell and Jack

Meyrick all picked up two wickets for Allenton.

It only took Allenton 12 overs to chase down the total, with Ryan Bell top scoring with 35 not out off 15 balls.

Coldstream and Tech played out the second game, which turned out to be another high scoring affair.

Coldstream were able to take out the victory, batting first and posting a total of 192.

Bo Houston and Jonno Print led the way with the bat, posting 55 and 54 runs respectively.

Tech were able to chase to 153, but ran out of overs to complete the chase.

William McKee was Tech’s brightest spark at the crease, hitting 65 runs.

Sarfraz approached over spot fixing in Pakistan Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed notified the Pakistan Cricket Board after claiming he had been approached with regard to spotfixing, according to reports.

PCB chairman Najam Sethi

confirmed an unnamed international had “immediately” reported the matter to the governing body, which has in turn alerted the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit (ACU).

“A player was approached. As per rules he immediately reported to PCB who informed ICC. Matters are jointly in hand. No further comment,” Sethi wrote on Twitter.

Multiple sources have announced the player as skipper Sarfraz, who oversaw Pakistan’s unlikely path to Champions Trophy glory in England earlier this year.

Savea still unwanted Similar to the nuns at the start of the Sound of Music, the All Blacks coaches are pondering how they solve a problem like Julian Savea.

The giant wing is fitter than he’s ever been and yet, despite fixing his form issues, he’s seemingly further now from All Blacks selection than he’s ever been. With power wings in Rieko Ioane and Waisake Naholo ensconced in the squad and a third, Seta Tamanivalu strongly tipped to be called up, there’s little expectation that Savea will be named in the All Blacks end-of-year tour party.

Cup final beckons

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

The Mid Canterbury Hammers have booked themselves a place in the Lochore Cup final after thrashing Poverty Bay 56-22 at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday.

The green and golds ran in eight tries in what was easily their most well rounded performance in the competition yet.

Poverty Bay had no answer for the strong ball carrying of Seta Koroitamana, Willie McGoon, Sam Finau and Maleli Sau, and simply folded under the pressure of the Hammers’ sharp backline play.

Finau opened the scoring within the first 10 minutes, easily picking the ball off the back of the ruck and charging straight through a giant gap in the Bay defence.

The visitors did look up to the task straight after though, with winger Brody Lam running straight through after the kick-off into the corner.

Koroitamana then set up McGoon for his first of three tries, powering through the defence before selling an inside dummy, taking an extra five metres before offloading to the big winger, who

breezily stepped inside for an easy finish.

The Hammers kept the pressure on Poverty Bay at scrum time, but things were much more even at the breakdown, with plenty of turnover ball to both sides.

McGoon showed his great running ability soon after, capitalising off great build-up play to hit a gap and step his man for his second try.

At this point Poverty Bay still clung on, and a great run from tighthead prop Semisi Akana saw him cross the line, and thanks to an Ethine Reeves conversion, they only trailed by eight points at 20-12.

Not to be outdone by his Rakaia team-mate McGoon, Heartland Championship top try-scorer Maleli Sau was soon amongst the action.

After some slick passing, he was given only one man to beat, which was far too easy for the flying Fijian, who crossed easily for his 11th try of the season.

The Hammers wrapped up the first half with an easy penalty after Koroitamana was hit high in front of the posts, with Jarred Percival extending the lead to 3012.

Not long after halftime, Sau and McGoon linked up, with McGoon putting in a great run, easily setting up Sau for his second.

Finau picked up his second in an alternative fashion; after his attempted offload was knocked back by a Poverty Bay player, he simply regathered the ball and charged home.

This left Sau, McGoon and Finau all on two tries each, and it was just a matter of time to see who would pick up their hattrick.

A small puff of wind was taken out of the Hammers’ sails after Nete Caucau drilled a flat pass straight in to the arms of Lam, who ran in from the 22 for an easy try.

But the rest of the game was all Hammers, with McGoon being the one to pick up his hat-trick after collecting an offload well inside his half, he ran it straight down the right wing in to the corner.

Substitute halfback Tyler Blackburn was the last one to cross the white line, with the Hammers showing that they can do it up front as well, working several phases through the forwards before he grabbed the

ball and dived over the top to dot down.

“We are very happy with that.

“We had the disappointment of missing out on the Meads Cup and we had to regroup and put in an 80 minute performance, and we did that,” co-coach James Jowsey said.

“We know it won’t be easy next week and there is still 80 minutes of football to go before the boys can put their feet up for the summer.”

The Hammers will now face the West Coast in the final in Methven next Sunday after they defeated defending Lochore Cup champions North Otago 24-14.

Wanganui will have a chance to do the three-peat in the Meads Cup after defeating top ranked South Canterbury 29-24 in Timaru.

The Wallabies are keeping the lid firmly in place despite the euphoria of their Bledisloe Cup breakthrough, with coach Michael Chieka reminding his team they have won nothing yet. It took a ferocious defensive effort in the second half to repel the rallying All Blacks but for once, the Wallabies were able to grind out a hard-earned result.

The expressions on players’ faces showed just what it meant after a year where Australian Super Rugby sides lost all 26 matches against Kiwi opposition. “As enjoyable as the win was, the disappointment of not winning the cup still resonates for me,” he said.

Tests live and free?

The country could see a return to live and free television coverage of All Blacks rugby tests under the Labour-New Zealand First government. NZ First sports and recreation spokesperson Clayton Mitchell said his party’s policy was discussed in the coalition talks, albeit in confidence. He said the prospect of Kiwis getting free access to “games of national significance” was “still on the table”.

Tasman eye history 2017 could become the greatest season in Tasman rugby history, but there’s one more obstacle in their way. A quality season has now turned into a potentially historic campaign for the Makos, who have reached the NPC final for the third time, where they will take on powerhouses Canterbury in a rematch of last year’s final. Led by 25 points from first-five Mitch Hunt, Tasman claimed an upset 3029 victory over Taranaki to book their spot in the final, making the most of the ill-disciplined display by the competition’s top qualifiers.

The clash was a repeat of the 2014 finale. That year, it was Taranaki’s name carved into the trophy, but now it’s Tasman’s turn to try and record their first Premiership title.

■ RUGBY

Few bright points for ABs

BY LIAM NAPIER When the All Blacks sit down to review their sixth loss in the same number of years, option taking and a lack of attacking firepower will come under scrutiny.

In the immediate aftermath of the Wallabies’ 23-18 victory at Suncorp Stadium, a match with high drama, brutal hits but not so much skill, the All Blacks were reluctant to make anyone a scapegoat.

There were obvious bright points in the efforts of Sam Cane and Sonny Bill Williams.

But many were guilty of individual errors, and the lack of collective composure when they needed it most at the death will be a concern.

Wet, slippery conditions made life difficult but the inescapable truth is the All Blacks missed Beauden Barrett; his speed and ability to create a magic play at just the right time.

Lima Sopoaga, in his first start for over two years, appeared muddled at times in terms of whether to kick, pass or run.

Perhaps his early intercept pass dented his confidence.

He is sure to learn and grow from the experience,

but his performance undoubtedly contributed to the All Blacks failing to consistently threaten.

In six Rugby Championship matches the All Blacks averaged 41 points and almost six tries.

On Saturday night they crossed the line twice – and even that was a struggle.

“There’s a few things I could put my finger on but we won’t talk about them here we’ll do that when we’re sitting around video footage as a team,” All Blacks

coach Steve Hansen said of his side’s attack.

“If your team doesn’t click between your forwards and backs which we didn’t tonight then you struggle.

“Some of that is the ball we’re presenting; some of that are the decisions we’re making and some of that is the pressure from Australia.

“There’s no point pointing fingers at anybody we’ll have a good look at the tape and find out exactly what was wrong and get on with fixing it.”

Sopoaga certainly wasn’t alone in his struggles.

Ryan Crotty made uncharacteristic errors and ill-discipline proved costly with Reece Ho d g e’s booming boot ultimately sealing their treasured win, the Wallabies’ first in eight tests against the All Blacks.

Assistant coach Ian Foster Lima Sopoaga was desperate to start for the All Blacks, but didn’t produce his best performance.

went into bat for Sopoaga, the Highlanders playmaker who was replaced after 60 minutes with Damian McKenzie shifting to No 10.

“He’s been desperate to have a start.

“He’s played well for us this year.

“We weren’t that smooth from set piece through the backs and that combination it just didn’t flow in the conditions.

“It was a tough day to be a 10.

“The Wallabies struggled a little bit in that area too – there was a lot of ball being knocked on.

“It probably wasn’t a game that comes naturally to Lima but he’ll learn from that.”

After locking away the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship titles once again, defeat is a disappointing way to sign off the Southern Hemisphere section of the season.

But if some good can come from it, All Blacks captain Kieran Read expects it to give those 37 players who travel north a healthy dose of reality.

“Losses hurt a lot more so hopefully the microscope from an individual point of view will be a bit stronger and the boys will learn from that,” Read said.

“We’ve got a few days at home, but then the trip up north will certainly be going through our heads and about what our last performance was like and hopefully that creates a bit of edge for us.”

- NZME

Cantabs rumble into another NPC final Canterbury remain on track for their ninth NPC title in the past decade, but they will need a smoother display in the final if they are to continue their historic dominance.

A late surge took them to a 35-24 semi-final win over North Harbour, but – compared to their usual standards – it was a performance which was sloppy in extended patches.

That’s not to discredit North Harbour’s efforts, who gave Canterbury as much as they could handle for 75 minutes.

Having not been in the Premiership semi-finals since 2005, their steady rise was further documented in a credible semi-final showing.

Yet, with all that said, a familiar sight remains – Canterbury’s presence in the final.

And, despite not hitting their

usual heights, they will surely be favoured to raise the trophy come next Saturday.

They may have to do it without some of their standout players this season. Braydon Ennor and Rob Thompson both failed concussion tests after heavy collisions, while first-five Richie Mo’unga could be a candidate to go on the All Blacks’ end of year tour. However, Canterbury still ground out a victory without those key members of their backline.

Young first-five Brett Cameron stood up with a solid display; guided well by the guile of halfback Mitchell Drummond.

Their cool heads were needed after a fast Harbour start.

Ben Volavola opened proceedings with an impressive solo try, and Canterbury were struggling to answer as their early play was plagued by turnovers.

Tim Bateman Twice they were dragged down centimetres short of the line and couldn’t convert the resulting phases.

But the hosts slowly built their way back into the contest, with first Drummond and then George Bridge going over to

craft a 17-10 halftime lead.

The clash retained a physical, chippy nature, with both teams aggressive at the breakdown and trading critical turnovers.

History suggested that Canterbury would pull away in the second stanza, as they did against Harbour earlier in the year, but the visitors weren’t going away, and a try to Chris Eves right after half-time tied proceedings.

The boot of Cameron kept Canterbury a point in front, and as nerves tightened, Canterbury veteran Tim Bateman finished off a patient build-up by flying under the posts, securing yet another trip to the finale for the country’s leading rugby province.

Canterbury 35 (M. Drummond, G. Bridge, B. Harmon, T. Bateman tries; B. Cameron 3 cons, 3 pens) North Harbour 24 (Volavola, Eves, Taramai tries; Volavola 3 cons, pen) HT: 17-10

Wallabies to kick on

BY VINCE RUGARI Man-of-the-match Jack Dempsey has declared the Wallabies are ready to go to the “next level” after ending their seven-match Bledisloe Cup losing streak.

The 23-year-old said he had never felt more nervous in his life than in the moments before Saturday’s 23-18 third Test victory in Brisbane _ his first taste of action against the All Blacks in his fledgling international career.

It didn’t show, with Dempsey one of Australia’s best performers at a rain- drenched Suncorp Stadium and providing much of the grunt work in the clinches that set up the result.

After a heartbreaking near-miss in the second Test in Dunedin and two frustrating draws with South Africa, Dempsey said it was a feel-good moment for the team.

“It’s pretty special but, to be honest, it’s just another step for us,” he said.

“The spirits are up, which is the best thing. It’s more just the relief of getting the reward for all the hard work.

“We’ve lost a few in the clutch moments and this game was all about where we are now, how we’ve changed, how we’ve developed from a mental point of view.

“That’s obviously where we feel we’ve strengthened a lot in the last few weeks.

“We’re ready to go to the next level.”

Dempsey said winning beston-ground honours came as a surprise and that he felt skipper Michael Hooper, fellow back-row dynamo Sean McMahon or superboot Reece Hodge were more deserving of the individual recognition.

Asked what he learned about his debut clash with the world champions, he said: “The width they play with, I found myself out there marking three blokes at one point and they all were numbers 11 plus, which can be a bit daunting.”

“To be honest before the game ... I don’t think I’ve ever been that nervous in my life.

“But once (it) starts, once you get your first carry, your first impact, your first tackle – it is just another game.”

Coach Michael Cheika said Dempsey’s performances in the No.6 jersey vindicated the call to take him along on last year’s European tour as a development player.

“Since he’s got his fitness right, he’s had some good performances and let’s hope he keeps going forward from here,” he said. - AAP

Female prime ministers not a good omen for All Blacks There will be many excuses offered up for the All Blacks being dumped in Brisbane – and don’t be surprised at some tonguein-cheek finger-pointing at the changing face of our Government.

In the lead-up to the clash

against the Wallabies the Herald printed ‘Five reasons to worry’ about the All Blacks’ hopes against their trans-Tasman foes.

Four were rugby based. The fifth was a light-hearted mention of Jacinda Ardern’s pending

swearing in as PM. The basis was the All Blacks’ past woes while the country has a female PM. “The first time New Zealand had a female prime minister was when Jenny Shipley was in power between 1997-99 and in 1998, the

All Blacks went through one of their worst losing streaks, dropping five tests in a row. Coincidence? We hope so.”

The ABs have bombed out of World Cups while Jenny Shipley and Helen Clark have been PM.

Superstars hit the track

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

The stars will come out to play at the Ashburton Racecourse today as the lure of New Zealand Trotting Cup Week at Addington draws closer.

Some of the biggest names in the business, both human and equine, will be on show in an action-packed affair which is highlighted by the running of the time-honoured The Trust Ashburton Flying Stakes for $50,000.

A field of eight will face the starter in the black-type event, including six runners from the all-conquering Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen stable, headed by $1.45 favourite and defending champion, Lazarus.

Last year’s New Zealand Trotting Cup winner is plotting the perfect path again toward the second Tuesday in November and after a tidy hit-out at the Ashburton workouts last week, Purdon is confident he’s gone up a level from his last assignment.

“He felt very good in that workout,” Purdon said.

“He’s definitely improved on that first up run, he felt stronger.”

Purdon and Rasmussen hold all the cards for the race with their other five horses filling the next five lines of betting with Heaven Rocks a $2.70 second favourite.

He seems over the drama which plagued his fresh-up run earlier this month and Natalie Rasmussen was more than happy with his performance against Lazarus in the workout last week.

While the pacers hold the mantle of the main race of the day, there will be just as much interest – if not more – in the Ashburton Trotters’ Flying Mile.

With the Dominion Handicap and the New Zealand Trotting Free-For-All looming, today is one of the final public opportunities for the trotters to strut their stuff with assignments made easier by the withdrawal from Cup Week features of Monbet last week.

In brief Upset in Livamol In a thrilling finish to the rescheduled Gr. 1 Livamol Classic local galloper Wait A Sec upset the applecart with a stunning victory on his home patch yesterday.

The seven-year-old has proved a revelation of late with an extended campaign netting six wins from his last 8 races including the Egmont Cup just eight days earlier. Despite the impeccable form-line he was not freely considered to be a leading contender to claim the jewel of the Hawkes Bay Spring Carnival. The Postponed gelding started at odds of better than $26 and held out a blazing late charge from Gingernuts.

Her ability to master the extra distance of the Gr.1 gavelhouse.com New Zealand Bloodstock 1000 Guineas (1600m) has been questioned, but her latest performance at Ashburton provided an emphatic reply. Prom Queen scored a hollow victory, her eighth from nine starts, in Saturday’s Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) and was full of running at the post.

There are plenty of well-credentialed runners in the event including multiple Group One winners.

The horse with the most to lose and gain from the race though will be Marcoola.

Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost confirmed that they’re likely to keep Hartley on for the Mexican Grand Prix next week.

Tost said the Kiwi driver has done extremely well throughout the week, putting down four good races.

“He improved his performance from lap to lap.

“He gets more familiar with the Brendon Hartley is racing in the US Grand Prix this morning.

car and the team, and in qualifying he showed a good performance.

“We are happy with his performance.”

Despite finishing 18th fastest in qualifying, Hartley will start at the back of the grid after taking a penalty for a power unit change.

Tost said he is confident Hartley will be able to climb up the ranks on race day.

“If he is around 13th position I think this will be quite a good race result.

“I’m convinced that he can do this because he is very committed.

“He’s learning fast and therefore he will climb up I’m convinced of this.

“If he shows his performance over the next races and if he proves, then I’m convinced that he will become a driver for next year.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): There will be no shortage of wisdom in your realm. Quotations and sayings abound! The current zeitgeist involves pretty advice. Applying a frame is a popular option; applying the advice, less so.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You know where you want to go, and you thought you knew how to get there. But something about the route has changed. As much as you hate to ask for directions, it will be the smart thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re feeling rather driven.

There is much to be done, and that includes forging relationships, both professional and personal. Stay open and helpful without offering up so much as to seem overeager.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): In the current cosmic shift, you’re like a hermit crab outgrowing its shell.

You know you’re changing, yet in a strange way, you also know you’re becoming more like who you really are.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It will be easier to influence the group when the members trust you. They’ll trust you when you seem to be like them – at least in ways that matter. Show them why you’re a good fit and you can lead them.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll be dealing with people who are more fragile than they seem. So be sure not to overestimate their confidence or the thickness of their skin. You’ll definitely be doing some coaxing and encouraging today.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You offer a combination of traits that can’t be found in any other person.

So though many could fill the role you fill, do the job you do and so forth, you are still, in many other ways, completely irreplaceable.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’ll find other people’s routines very interesting. In the study of this, there’s something in it for you – a life hack or practical tip that will make an area of your life run much more smoothly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): When you encounter something beautiful, you’ll want to protect it with all your might and light. Just make sure it really needs your help. Do your homework, because some causes are not what they seem.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re trying to learn the social lay of the land. It starts with figuring out each person’s motive. Seeing as no one will tell you what his or her real purpose is, you’ll have to figure it out from clues.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): This day comes with a built-in assignment for you – and the added bonus of all the motivation, inspiration and resources you need to do a fantastic job.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You either are not in the mood to go by the book or simply see a better way. In your defence, “the book” was written a very, very long time ago; things have really changed since then.

Sport Surprise new coach World No.3 Karolina Pliskova says she wasn’t even looking for a new coach, but is already having fun with Australian Rennae Stubbs in her corner.

Stubbs was something of a left-field pick by Pliskova to guide her career, with her only involvement in the game post-retirement being in the media. But Pliskova says she only had her father guiding her through the latter stages of the WTA season after she split with her previous coach David Kotyza. “I was already talking to her for a few weeks, and she said, ‘yeah, if you want to go, so let’s go to Singapore. So I said, Yeah, why not?”

Surf’s out for Wright

FULL STORY P16

Owen Wright’s hopes of claiming a world title have officially died in the waters off Peniche, Portugal.

Starting the event in fourth place on the leaderboard Wright needed a big performance with just this event and the Pipe Masters to come if he was to catch leader and reigning world champion John John Florence.

However, Wright was soundly beaten in round one and then was eliminated in round two by Portuguese wildcard Vasco Ribeiro.

Breakers upset Melbourne The New Zealand Breakers have continued their steady early season improvement, tipping over the highly-fancied Melbourne United in Melbourne 88-76 yesterday afternoon.

The Breakers have gotten better in each of their four games to date.

Having started their campaign with a defeat to the Cairns Taipans, followed by victories of contrasting comfort over the

Sydney Kings, this win was the Breakers’ most impressive of the lot, and extends their upward trend.

Melbourne were pre-season favourites in the Australian National Basketball League, and rightly so. Their lineup is truly stacked, and they arguably had the advantage at every position against the Breakers.

However, they are yet to gel as a team, and the well-oiled Break-

ers took advantage in their 88-76 upset victory at Hisense Arena.

Most of the Breakers core have enjoyed a rested off-season, and a settled pre-season, allowing them to click earlier in the season than some of their rivals.

It showed against Melbourne, who have now lost nine of their last 10 games against the Breakers, and put in a sloppy display which belied the immense talent on their roster.

The Breakers can take credit for that, forcing Melbourne into mistakes – 17 of them, to be exact.

The win moves the Breakers to 3-1 early in the campaign, but most significantly, the victory bodes well for the difficult away trips ahead. Last season, the Breakers went just 5-9 on the road, and a better effort on their travels is essential to return to the playoffs.

Bayern catches Borussia Bayern Munich took advantage of Borussia Dortmund’s faltering campaign to move level on points with them atop the Bundesliga.

Dortmund’s mini-slump continued as it wasted a two-goal lead and drew at Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2, before Bayern edged 10-man Hamburger SV 1-0 in the late game. Dortmund still leads on goal difference after nine rounds but the pressure is building after its fourth game without a win from five matches across all competitions. Marius Wolf’s first Bundesliga goal was the equaliser.
