With a slew of tenders now closed and under assessment, the progress of Ashburton’s new civic administration building and library is on track for work to start in October next year.

Tenders for quantity surveying and a range of engineering work

including mechanical, hydraulic, fire protection and electrical work have been evaluated and tenders for structural, general and geotechnical engineering work are still to be evaluated by the Ashburton District Council’s Project Control Group (PCG).

Those tenders will go to the October 30 Ashburton District Coun-

cil meeting for sign off.

There were a good number of tenders received across all work and the quality of those tenders was high, business support manager Paul Brake said.

Currently the architects, Athfields Ltd, were still refining building concept drawings and these would come to a council work-

shop in December, and were likely to be signed off in late December.

This is in line with a timeline that set a year end completion of this stage of the project, he said.

The council administration building and library site includes land currently occupied by the Methodist Church Hall. When the council bought the hall and

land, the original agreement with the Methodist Church was that no work would take place on the new build until the church had completed design work to strengthen its historic Baring Square church.

On Friday afternoon they were called to dampen down hotspots in Tinwald after fire destroyed Ray’s Gym earlier in the week and then later that evening they attended a pump shed fire out near Lake Hood.

While initially described as potentially being suspicious, investigations into the fire at Ray’s Gym have ruled that out as a factor into the source of the fire.

Firefighters are warning Mid Canterbury locals to be extra vigilant as the region starts to dry up after a run of incredibly warm weather.

It’s been a hectic time for local fire units with a spike in attendances coinciding with the arrival of some really warm weather over the past few weeks.

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade alone has had close to 30 call-outs in the past two weeks, continuing its run as one of the busiest volunteer stations in the country.

But as the weather continues to warm up, Rural Fire Officer Don Geddes is sure that locals can help keep the number of call-outs down by simply supervising any fires that might be lit.

“It’s all the usual stuff we remind everyone of from year to year really,” he said.

“We are starting to see a rise in call-outs to vegetation type fires which sits alongside the change to some pretty warm weather.

“The Ashburton volunteer guys have been really busy lately and any call-out that can be prevented is actually a really good result for the community.”

Geddes said the onus was on the person in control of the fire to make sure that they were on hand at all times and ready to act should things look like getting out of control.

But he also said the biggest issue was a lack of respect for the power of ashes and embers which could remain warm for weeks before reigniting during wind.

“That’s where a lot of people get caught out, they’ll watch something burn right down but then not properly extinguish it.

“It’s a really common mistake, but one we’re trying to make sure

Some TLC for hall

By Linda CLarke

Council HQ on target

The Ashburton District Council will keep a protective eye on historic Pioneer Hall when it builds its new admin and civic building next door, says Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel.

Favel made the pledge when she unveiled an historic plaque on the hall on Monday. It is now home to Historic Places Mid Canterbury.

The bright blue plaque had earlier been fixed high on the Havelock Street frontage of the hall, which sits next to the former art gallery and museum building – which will need to make way for the new council build.

Favel said the council was trying to honour the district’s history and had projects on the go at Wakanui Beach and the Chinese village on Allens Road.

Pioneer Hall was already a heritage-listed building, she said. “We will be doing everything we can to make sure we honour what we can, including saving this building.”

Historic Places Mid Canterbury has called the hall home since 2007 but the building started its life as a base for the Ashburton Hospital Board in 1916. It has been a women’s rest rooms, a taxi office and the headquarters for Birthright.

The information plaque is a welcome sign.

The historic places group embarked last year on a campaign to highlight Ashburton’s buildings of importance with informative plaques, coloured blue. The first was erected on the 100-year-old overhead railbridge in November and Pioneer Hall became the second site this week.

Another six or seven buildings are in the pipeline, with the group talking with building owners around town.

From P1 This agreement, however, has been amended, council assets manager Colin Windleborn said, to allow the council to move ahead with its project.

“Originally we were waiting for them to have their design work done for their building before the handover of the hall, but now it doesn’t matter where the church is at with its plans we just have to give them a specified period of notice and we can then take occupancy of the hall,” Windleborn said.

And that meant the council was now able to move ahead on its own time frame without any pressure on the church, he said.

The council, however, cannot take over ownership of the hall or schedule its demolition before March 1.

“We’ll be working with them (the congregation) to find them somewhere else to meet.”

The church will be strengthened and new meeting rooms built once the hall is demolished.

The council has carried out a survey of the church and buildings close to its Baring Square site to establish the state of these ahead of work on the civic project.

It would be a critical step in the project in terms of understanding available space, when both the hall and the county council building were demolished and there was a clear site, Windleborn said.

The county building will continue to be used as the council chamber until the Havelock Street Civil Defence building is completed in mid December.

This will become the council’s meeting chamber until the new administration building opens in early 2021.

The unveiling took place before the historic places group’s annual meeting.

Project leader Nigel Gilkison said the modest little hall provided a great base for the group and the plaque project had good support.

“It is one of those projects people really get behind and it is really, really heartening to see that sort of kindness.”

Ireland said it was a shame some of that work had been undone by lack of maintenance.

Other “defeats” around that time included the demolition of the Ashburton Railway Station and the former Ashburton Tech building.

The loss of the railway station was a tragedy, he said. “If only we could have got some firm in there.”

Former historic places local chairman Peter Ireland said the group had to kit the hall out with chairs and tea-making facilities when it took it over in 2007. Before then, members had met in church halls so the permanent base was gratefully received.

Back then members were involved in a project to restore several rural cemeteries that had become overgrown.

Building consent for MSA big ticket project

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A giant step has been taken in the Ashburton MSA’s rebuild project with the granting of a building consent.

When the Burnett Street end of the complex is demolished and rebuilt, it will be the completion of a project that started about 16 years ago.

Originally the entire complex was to be replaced and a car parking area built on the upper level. Only the central and Havelock end of the premises, however, have been rebuilt.

When an engineer’s report indicated the Burnett Street end of the building needed significant strengthening after the Canterbury earthquakes, the club’s committee was faced with two choices – spend more than $1m on strengthening work, or a new build. It opted to rebuild.

With the building consent in its hands, the club is on track to start work after September 1, 2019.

The search for building contractors will begin shortly, with a start date for building after September 1, 2019.

“Everything’s up to time according to our original plan,” club manager Simon McDonnell said.

Climber injured A climber was flown from the Ashburton Lakes with serious injuries on Monday. A travelling party of six activated their personal locator beacon on the eastern side of Mount Harper around 12.20pm on Monday after one member of the group was injured following a fall. A helicopter transported the injured climber to the Christchurch Hospital in a critical condition.

Auction cancelled

The MSA’s Burnett Street frontage is to undergo a major revamp.

The Burnett Street section of the complex was built in 1941 and includes the upper level restaurant and lower level club offices, meeting rooms and snooker room. In the rebuild the restaurant will move to the ground floor.

One facility that won’t survive

the rebuild will be the MSA library. Its popularity has been declining and the club would soon have been forced to make a decision on its future anyway, he said.

The new section will have a larger ground floor but a slightly smaller upper level. The distinctive art deco frontage will not be

recreated in the rebuild.

When demolition work starts, the club’s offices will move into the now vacant room near the Havelock Street entrance that until recently housed the TAB. The club restaurant will also be out of business, for at least 12 months.

Protection order breached couple’s children were at the Caltex service station in Ashburton.

The children’s mother and her new partner drove past in the Saxelby family car, a Nissan Pathfinder, with another of the former couple’s children in the car.

Saxelby denied noticing the pair drive past, but both the ex-partner and her boyfriend testified that he saw them and quickly got into his vehicle and followed them closely across the Ashburton River bridge.

They said they pulled into the Z service station at Tinwald, knowing there would be a forecourt security camera there.

Saxelby testified that he pulled into the Z to buy chips for his children, and did not notice who the occupants of the car in front of him were until his ex-partner’s new partner got out of the vehicle and began to approach him.

The pair had a discussion where Saxelby told the man that he should not be driving the car due to the car’s insurance details.

Saxelby told the court he drove off as soon as he realised his expartner was in the passenger seat of the Pathfinder, ensuring he would not breach his protection order.

An auction night planned to rally the support of the Mid Canterbury community for Nikki Tyrell has had to be cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales. Organisers advised over the weekend that they had to unfortunately pull the pin on the event. Tyrrell suffers myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and Lyme disease, and has been largely bed-bound for 20 years with seizures, migraines, paralysis episodes, flu-like symptoms and limbic system dysfunctions. The organising group said donated items would still be put to good use with an online auction set to be held instead which begins this Saturday – the same night as the auction was supposed to be held.

Driving close behind his expartner on State Highway One resulted in a Mayfield man being found guilty of breach of a protection order.

David Saxelby, 32, unsuccessfully fought the charge at a judge alone trial in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

The court heard Saxelby had been served a temporary protection order in January by his ex-partner and mother of their children.

The charge related to an incident on the afternoon of Saturday June 16 which began when Saxelby and two of the former

by’s prompt delivery of messages to his ex-partner’s boyfriend reflected his intentions in following the car to the Z station.

And it defied common sense that he would not have looked at the number plate of the car in front of him as they drove, considering the vehicle was so similar to his car.

“I’m unable to accept the defendant was completely unaware that the Nissan Pathfinder so closely in front of him on the bridge was his own vehicle.”

She convicted and sentenced Saxelby to six months’ supervision.

The Rakaia Presbyterian Church will hold a sale next weekend to help raise funds for the church with something on offer for everyone. The group have been working hard behind the scenes to gather enough items to sell on Saturday, November 3, from 9.30am to 11am opposite the Rakaia Mobil on the main road.

There will be secondhand clothes, household items, plants and toys on offer for everyone to view and potentially purchase.

Pedestrian hit by car A pedestrian has been moderately injured after a collision with a car in central Christchurch. A police spokeswoman said they received a report at 11.20am that a person with moderate injuries was lying under a car on Victoria Street.

A Fire and Emergency spokesman said it was reported to be a “car versus pedestrian”.

In brief

Fine weather forecast for Ashburton show day

By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

The weather is changing at the wrong time this week as the district gears up for its annual Ashburton A&P Show.

Sideshow and ride operators are enjoying setting up in fine conditions, with temperatures set to hit 26 degrees today after reaching into the early 20s for the last five days in a row.

Tomorrow southerlies are forecast to move in with rain developing, and the maximum is just 16 degrees, followed by 15 degrees on Friday with overcast conditions, and 17 on Saturday with cloud breaking way to fine weather.

Show events convenor Chris Watson said it was good news that rain was not forecast for the two show days of Friday and Saturday, and that Saturday was set to be fine.

The cooler conditions compared to the start of the week were arriving on the tail-end of rain, which would have farmers happy their paddocks had received a dousing.

“Everyone’s irrigating, so having a bit of rain will not hurt,” Watson said.

Entries are up on last year, at 4772, no small feat considering about 140 less represented due to no cattle showing this year due to mycoplasma bovis.

Cameron at fight night Former Commonwealth cruiserweight champion Shane Cameron will be the special guest at The Dubliner’s Fight Night on December 8. Fight Night II will be held at the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Methven, and will feature an evening of live boxing with all proceeds going to the Methven Rugby Football Club. Local contenders commenced training in September under the guidance of coaches Gary Manning and Joe Keepa of The Dubliner Bar and Restaurant. Tickets are limited to four per person at $75 each and will go on sale this Friday at The Dubliner.

Job seeker numbers rising

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton employers might be struggling to find the right staff for the job, but the latest unemployment statistics show job seeker numbers in the Ashburton District are on the rise.

For the September quarter 433 people were registered with the Ministry of Social Development

as looking for work, the second highest number in the past six years.

Job seeker numbers hit a low for the September quarter in 2014 at 312. The six year high for that period was in 2016, 430. Last year there were 413 registered job seekers at the end of September.

Not every person registered as looking for work, however, is able

to step into a job immediately.

OF those on the register only 259 were listed as job ready. The remainder were listed as having a range of health or disability conditions.

More males, 230, than females, 193 were looking for work, with the majority, 263 listed as New Zealand European.

Forty to 54 year olds made up

the bulk of job seekers, 138, followed by 25-39 year-olds. 116 and 18 – 24 year olds, 82. Almost half of those on job seeker support had been receiving a benefit for less than one year.

Total number of people receiving benefits in the district was 1119. Of those 259 were receiving sole parent support and 428 a supported living payment.

Taranaki sting nets cash, drugs Police have arrested three people and seized cash, drugs and a luxury vehicle in a Taranaki organised crime operation.

Two vehicles were stopped and searched in New Plymouth on Monday.

A 42-year-old local man was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine for supply, and was due to appear in the New Plymouth District Court yesterday.

A 45-year-old Waitara man and 32-year-old Opunake woman have also been charged with possession of methamphetamine.

In one of the vehicles 11 grams of methamphetamine

was found, as well as an envelope containing what police described as a “large quantity of cash”.

A commercial premises on State Highway 3 has also been cordoned off and searched as part of ongoing inquiries, police said.

The arrests follow an investigation into the sale and supply of methamphetamine in the Taranaki area.

“We want to reassure the community we followed up their concerns and will work tirelessly to hold those responsible for drug offending to account,” Detective Senior Sergeant Brent Matuku said.

“Taranaki Police are committed to protecting our community from the serious harm caused by

organised crime and methamphetamine.”

Missing man’s partner dies in Rotorua Hospital It’s been eight days since Rotorua man Wi Keefe Kaa sat beside his dying partner’s bedside at Rotorua Hospital. He left the hospital and hasn’t been seen since.

His partner of 30 years died yesterday morning and their daughter is appealing for help to find her father so they can grieve for her together.

Kaa, known by his middle name Keefe, had been visiting his partner, who had been in a critical condition in Rotorua Hospital.

He was last seen by his family at her bedside on Saturday October 13. He left the intensive care unit upset about his partner’s suffering, telling family he

was getting food, but his family haven’t seen him since.

Hospital staff confirmed he went back to the intensive care unit two days later on the night of Monday October 15 to visit her.

Family members reported his disappearance to police on Saturday October 20.

Woman’s death unexplained Police have named the woman who died in Christchurch in what they deemed an unexplained death as American citizen Lauren Biddle.

The 22-year-old, who was working in New Zealand, died early on Monday morning.

“A post-mortem was completed today and preliminary results have been forwarded to the Coroner,” Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Cottam said yesterday.

“As part of the post-mortem process, Police and the Coroner are waiting on toxicology results.”

Police are still carrying out a scene examination at the address which they believe Biddle had been at – which is expected to be completed today.

Emergency services were initially called to the incident by a friend who was performing CPR on Biddle at Cliffton Terrace.

“We have been in contact with Lauren’s US-based family and have been working with the US Embassy to offer them the support they need,” Cottam said.

“No further information is available at this stage. We will provide an update as soon as we are able.”

Trump awaits death reports President Donald Trump said he’s not satisfied with the explanations he’s heard about the death of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi and is awaiting reports from US personnel returning from the region.

Khashoggi, who lived in the United States and wrote critically about the Saudi royal family, died earlier this month at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. Saudi Arabia said he was killed in a fist-fight, but Turkish officials said the 59-year-old Washington Post columnist was attacked and killed by a 15-man Saudi team.

Asked if he believed Saudi Arabia’s explanation, Trump said, “I am not satisfied with what I’ve heard.”

“We’re going to get to the bottom of it. We have people over in Saudi Arabia now. We have top intelligence people in Turkey. They’re coming back either tonight or tomorrow,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before leaving for a political rally in Texas.

“We’re going to know a lot over the next two days about the Saudi situation,” said Trump. “It’s a very sad thing.”

Trump spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is the son of Saudi King Salman.

Schumer pregnant US comedian Amy Schumer has announced she is pregnant with her first child – on a friend’s Instagram account.

Schumer first hinted at the news with a picture of her husband Chris Fischer and herself edited onto an image of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan. Fans were then linked to the profile of journalist Jessica Yellin, who posted Schumer’s recommendations for the upcoming US midterm elections. The list ended with the words: “I’m pregnant – Amy Schumer”. The royal couple had shared their own baby news last week while on tour in Australia.

Saudi Arabia is moving ahead with plans to hold a glitzy investment forum, despite some of its most important speakers pulling out in the global outcry over the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

PHOTO AP “He says he is not involved nor is the king,” Trump told USA Today in an interview aboard Air Force One en route to a political rally in Texas.

The newspaper said Trump declined to say whether he believed the crown prince’s deni-

als. If their involvement was proven, Trump said: “I would be very upset about it. We’ll have to see.”

Trump characterised Khashoggi’s incident as a “plot gone awry” and told the newspaper he didn’t think the writ-

er was deliberately lured into the consulate to be killed.

When he was asked late last week whether he thought Saudi Arabia’s claim that Khashoggi died in a fist-fight was credible, the president answered: “I do. I do.”

Kiedis in strife over brawl

Monsanto verdict upheld, award cut to $78m A Northern California judge has upheld a jury’s verdict that found Monsanto’s weed killer caused a groundskeeper’s cancer, but she slashed the amount of money to be paid.

In denying Monsanto’s request for a new trial, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bolanos cut the jury’s punitive damage award from $250 million to $39 million.

The judge had earlier said she had strong doubts about the jury’s entire punitive damage award. Bolanos gave DeWayne

Johnson until December 7 to accept the reduced amount or demand a new trial.

Johnson’s spokeswoman Diana McKinley said he and his lawyers are reviewing the decision and haven’t decided the next step. “Although we believe a reduction in punitive damages was unwarranted and we are weighing the options, we are pleased the court did not disturb the verdict,” she said.

Monsanto spokesman Daniel Childs said that the com-

pany was pleased with the reduced reward but still planned to appeal the verdict. Childs said there’s no scientific proof linking Roundup to cancer.

The jury awarded punitive damages after it found that the St. Louis-based agribusiness had purposely ignored warnings and evidence that its popular Roundup product causes cancer, including Johnson’s lymphoma.

Punitive damages are designed to punish companies that juries determine have

purposely misbehaved and to deter others from operating similarly.

In a tentative ruling on October 11, Bolanos said it appeared the jurors overreached with their punitive damages award.

She said then that she was considering wiping out the $250 million judgment after finding no compelling evidence presented at trial that Monsanto employees ignored evidence that the weed killer caused cancer.

Although previous studies have calculated that Europeans could ingest as many as 11,000 tiny pieces of plastic a year, through consuming seafood or accidentally eating bits of packaging, it has never been proven until now.

Scientists at the Austrian Environment Agency and the University of Vienna analysed stool samples of people from eight countries and found every one contained microplastics.

In some cases nine different types of plastic were found in a single sample.

On average, 20 microplastic particles per 10g of human waste were found.

“This is the first study of its kind and confirms ... that plastics ultimately reach the human gut,” said Dr Philipp Schwabl, the lead researcher who presented the findings at the United European Gastroenterology meeting.

“While the highest plastic concentrations in animal studies have been found in the gut, the smallest microplastic particles are capable of entering

the bloodstream, lymphatic system and may even reach the liver. We need further research to understand what this means for human health.”

Microplastics are particles of plastic less than 5mm and are used in various products.

They also form when large pieces break down through weathering, degradation or wear and tear.

Microplastics – shed by everything from synthetic clothing to road paint – are present in 83 per cent of tap water samples, all German beers and even in European rainwater, studies show.

Experts fear that microplastics in the body may damage the immune system, trigger inflammation, and can help carry toxins such as mercury or pesticides into the body.

The study looked at eight individuals from Finland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, the UK and Austria.

Their food diaries showed that all were exposed to plastics during the week by consuming plastic-wrapped foods or drinking from plastic bottles.

Six of them consumed sea fish, that often consume microplastics.

Wonder Woman delayed The world will have to wait a while longer for the Wonder Woman sequel, which will now arrive in cinemas in mid-2020.

Warner Bros. announced that Wonder Woman 1984 will now open on June 5, 2020 — three years since the release of the first film, which made more than US $820 million at the box office worldwide.

The sequel, which will see Gal Gadot return as the titular Amazonian superhero, had been slated for a November 2019 release. Patty Jenkins is returning as director and has teased fans with tidbits about the series’ time jump to the 1980s.

OUR VIEW

Our firefighters need a helping hand E

very time a fire alarm goes off in our district a group of hardy souls drop whatever it is they are doing and run to the rescue.

It doesn’t matter if they’re halfway through their dinner, just about to jump into the shower or even four hours into what could have been a full night’s sleep, they leave it all behind to go and help those in need.

We’re bloody lucky to have an incredible group of firefighters right around our district. They’re a dedicated bunch of volunteers who do it for the love of being able to make that little bit of difference.

Some might never save a life,

some might not be able to stop a house from burning to the ground or a complete paddock of crop from being wasted, but they will always do their best for anyone concerned when they are asked to.

But the battle is real, our firefighters are flat out.

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade is one of the busiest

volunteer units in New Zealand and unless there is a dramatic reduction in call-outs, will reach 400 call-outs in the 12 months of 2018.

That’s some huge numbers for a group of volunteers.

A lot of the call-outs aren’t for anything in particular.

There are a lot of alarm activations thrown into the mix that’s for sure.

But it doesn’t stop them from walking away from their jobs to jump in the truck and go and check it out.

The thing is though, as great as our volunteer firefighters are, they can only do so much.

The buck ultimately rests with

us as a community.

It might seem like an odd situation, but the firefighting crews of Mid Canterbury wouldn’t mind if they were less busy than they are.

And that’s where we can step in and play a role.

By ensuring we are as safe as we possibly can when it comes to fire or burning something – we automatically reduce the chance of having to call the fire brigade.

A lot of that attention will be pointed in the direction of our more rural corners – particularly when it comes to rubbish fires and burn-offs, but it’s as much about the town folk being vigilant as well.

If you light a firepit to sit outside one night and enjoy the warmer evenings a little bit longer, make sure you put it out properly.

A good nor’west wind can flare something like that up in a heartbeat and any stray embers could spell disaster.

So, it is pretty simple.

I would doubt there is anyone who would begrudge the work done by our firefighters and any chance to help them out should be welcomed.

So be smart, if you’re burning something, burn it safe – or you might just find out that you’re burning a lot more than you bargained for.

xtraordinary scenes in the foyer of Parliament last week. We are now as familiar with them as we are with details of the gruesome death of Jamel Khasghoggi in the Saudi consulate in Turkey.

Jami-Lee Ross’ treatment by National has, at least so far, been marginally less brutal.

National’s hitherto “conventional”, “reliable” representative for Botany, Jami-Lee Ross, holds media spellbound as he delivers hour-long tirade against his erstwhile friend and current leader, Simon Bridges.

He ends by announcing his *resignation from the party and his decision to stand in the resultant by-election for the electorate where, at last year’s election, he had a majority of just under 13,000.

This pre-exempts Bridges’ concurrent caucus meeting where it is unanimously been decided to expel J-L.R from the party, forthwith. ( * Later rescinded by Ross in favour of staying on as an Independent in Parliament once the extreme unlikelihood of his standing and winning a by-election in Botany as an Independent had dawned on his troubled mind.)

Such a public display of mayhem and vitriol in the National Party is said to be unprecented.

The eyes and ears of the members of the media on hand to witness and listen to this cataclysmic political explosion will remember October 16, 2018 as a turning point in their careers, if not their very lives.

Among Jami-Lee Ross’ earliest, and most serious allegations against Simon Bridges was one involving a wealthy Chinese businessman’s donation of $100,000 to the party, which, according to the, “on a mission”, Ross, Bridges asked him to break into different, sub $15,000 “parcels”, with concocted names attached, so they would meet the requirements of electoral law.

If that had turned out to be true, Bridges would have found

Jami-Lee Ross and Simon Bridges. against his, once-was, trusted lieutenant. All in all, Jami-Lee Ross could have said to have been “thirsting for revenge”, which might go at least some way to explaining his hour-long diatribe.

In, between, Ross has taken to the police a number of secret recordings of what he claims is Bridges instructing him to break up the donation (as described above). The conversations include also racial and dismissive comments about several of their National colleagues. All in all, an imbroglio without borders.

As I said last week, however this brutish affair pans out it has already, surely, put an end to any forlorn hopes Bridges may have had of becoming Prime Minister in 2020.

The fact he was ever chosen to take over the party from Bill English was always both a surprise and a mistake.

For all sorts of reasons he has not got what it takes to lead a political party to victory, “anytime soon”. Charisma and mana seem to have by-passed him, both vital characteristics in the make-up of a successful political leader.

He lacks, also, a telegenic presence which, these days, is the most important trait a would-be Prime Minister can possess.

Now, as Bridges crawls, bruised and bleeding, out from under this collapse and control of his party, National will now have to go through an urgent search for a suitable replacement

himself inextricably wedged between the devil and the deep blue sea. His replies to persistent media questioning on the issue were less than convincing, consisting of endlessly repeated references to the matter now “being in the hands of the police”.

He had, he insisted, “done nothing wrong”. Unsurprisingly, that issue has now become sufficiently fudged for Bridges to survive its potential dangers.

Although the member for Botany has some “form” in matters of challenging the behaviour of “senior officers” – not least his spat some years ago with Len Brown, then Mayor of Auckland – his apparently unprovoked outburst – as well as similar comments he had made the day before – seemed to stupefy his National colleagues (now, former, colleagues.)

That Bridges had also accused him of being the now legendary “leaker” of his, Bridges’, “gettingto-know-the-nation” tour by limo and expensive hotel (as alleged) and that he, Ross, had recently had mental troubles, further enraged the Botany man, which is why he drove “nine hours” from Auckland to Wellington so as to be in position to launch his broadside condemnation at precisely the moment he was, himself, being condemned by the Top Brass of the National Party.

Bridges had, by then, also managed to throw in a number of accusations of *sexual assault

for him, and a lot sooner than they might have anticipated.

This time it has to be a woman.

National seem not to have a man likely to cause palpitations in the Ardern camp.

Judith Collins would be a no-nonsense popular choice; if she were fit, Nikki Kaye, already a double political winner over Jacinda, would be an admirable foil while Amy Adams would bring intellect, erudition and a rich degree of articulation to the position.

So, Simon, this is your Rubicon moment – every politician seems to have to have a “moment” of some sort these days. For the good of the party, you must gird your loins and cross it. (Your Rubicon).

As you do, think Andrew Little.

He accepted his fate, realised his un-electability and stood aside for Jacinda. It was a “Far, far better thing than he had ever done before” (Dickens).

Simon Bridges, you should do the same. By so doing, you will establish a moment of admirable selflessness in the annals of the National Party. A worthy legacy, surely, if not quite the one you may have had in mind.

Sir Peter’s $150m real estate empire Sir Peter Jackson’s hometown once flirted with labelling itself Wellywood, but perhaps Jacksonville would be more appropriate after revelations the rich-list director has acquired more than a hundred million dollars in Wellington real estate over the past two decades.

According to data collated by CoreLogic the Hollywood director – and driving force behind the capital’s subsidised Wellywood film industry – has assembled a property empire based in Wellington, but with outposts stretching from Masterton to Queenstown, worth $150m.

This includes $77m in commercial property in Miramar tied to his Weta group of film-making companies that employs nearly 2000 people in the capital, as well as heritage-protected Wellington landmarks the former Vatican Embassy in Melrose and Seatoun churches St Christopher’s and Our Lady, Star of the Sea. His holdings also include nearly 20 residential properties including a large chunk of a Wellington street, a new holiday home in Queenstown, and his sprawling estate in the Wairarapa.

The Jackson estate in Matahiwi in the lower-North Island, in-

Our Lady Star of the Sea Convent Chapel in Seatoun, owned by Sir Peter Jackson. cludes buildings listed as providing 1639sqm of floor space and is said to include a 100-seat cinema, underground tunnels and a recreation of hobbit home Bag End, has a combined council valuation of $12.8m.

Property records show in July he acquired a relatively modest 110sqm holiday home in Closeburn, 10 minutes drive from Queenstown.

The property adjoins two other sections he’d previously acquired,

Real estate is not the only major asset held by the near-billionaire, assessed earlier this year by Forbes as being worth $600m.

In 2013 he forked out for a new Gulfsteam GVI650 private jet – worth $80m and capable of flying further, including non-stop to Los Angeles, and faster than anything operated by the Royal New Zealand Air Force – and founded The Vintage Aviator, a company churning out million-dollar recreations of World War One military aircraft.

with his holdings in the region valued at $3.6m Jackson’s property holdings had previously been mostly kept in the name of his Wellington lawyer, but earlier this year were restructured into a new company – Stanley Properties – directed by Jackson and his long-time partner Frances Walsh.

Stanley Properties is owned by Wingnut Films – the production company behind Lord of the Rings – which in turn is owned by Jack-

son, Walsh and Phillipa Boyens.

Boyens is a neighbour and longtime business partner of Jackson and has co-produced each of his films since 2005’s King Kong.

The trio are credited as coscreenwriters on both the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogies, which between them made $9 billion at the box office.

Additional business properties associated with the Weta Group – worth some $40m and including vast studios in Miramar and the former General Motors car factory in Upper Hutt – are held by Camperdown Studios, whose ownership is split equally between interests associated with Jackson and those of his long-time partner and Weta Workshop founder Sir Richard Taylor.

Jackson, in London this week to launch his World War One documentary They Shall Not Grow Old based on colourised historic footage, did not respond to a request for comment. The director is famously protective of his and his family’s privacy.

This motivation may partly explain his acquisition of most of a Karaka Bay street. Since 2000 – when Lord of the Rings was being made – he began acquiring

HRV Clean Water, owned by Vector, has been fined $440,000 after pleading guilty to making unsubstantiated claims about the benefits of its water filters and also for making misleading claims about the quality of New Zealand’s home water supply.

The fine was issued by Judge John Macdonald in the Auckland District Court on October 19 for claims made in promotional material between July 2, 2014 and October 12, 2017.

The unsubstantiated claims related to the ability of a magnetic ‘ioniser’ in its water filter systems to soften water, which would in turn help to relieve drinkers of skin conditions, such as eczema and dermatitis.

The claims made included statements such as “reduces skin irritations, dermatitis and eczema” and “removes existing lime scale and extends the life of your appliances”.

Commissioner Anna Rawlings said the company did not have reasonable grounds to make such claims.

“HRV relied heavily on the information provided by the supplier without getting this verified by an expert,” Rawlings said.

HRV has been hit with big fine, following legal action by the Commerce Commission.

“Although HRV had some testing done, the results did not provide a reasonable basis for the various claims it had made about the benefits of using the filters.”

HRV made further misleading representations about the quality of the water and about the additives in New Zealand’s home water supply.

This included the claim that “90 per cent of our waterways are polluted below swimming standards, yet this is where we source our water from”, and that the filter would “remove many of the additives,

as well as funny tastes and smells from your water supply”.

Rawlings said these misleading statements likely created concern among consumers.

In a statement released yesterday, HRV said that it accepted the findings and the fine imposed.

The company said it has taken steps to address the concerns and remove any inaccurate information. “We also put in place additional processes to ensure tighter control over marketing material in the future,” the statement said.

Tauranga struggling to fill skilled roles Tauranga is in the midst of a perfect storm as industries across the board struggle to find skilled workers, despite strong interest from overseas and New Zealand to the city.

Recruitment agencies claim it is hard to fill some positions, with one saying there is a gap in the market between those seeking work and the jobs available.

Priority One projects manager

Annie Hill said the organisation was contacted by about 35 people a month wanting to move to Tauranga and enquiring about jobs.

Half those enquiries were from overseas and returning expats.

The organisation was working with 726 active job seekers as part of its Wish You Were Working Here talent attraction campaign and had 6507 social media followers.

IT professionals are in high de-

mand, as are software developers, she says.

Kirsty Morrison, of One21 Recruitment, said a lot of clients were sourcing staff offshore, especially for boat building, carpentry and trade jobs.

“It’s a shame as the balance between the candidates out there looking for work and the jobs we need to fill is a bit of a mismatch.’’

■ RUGBY

The balance of power

BY GREGOR PAUL It’s too hard to resist going all Star Wars when analysing the changing roles played by Codie Taylor and Dane Coles.

In 2015 when Taylor first came into the squad, he was the raw youngster being given the chance to learn his craft at the school of Coles, who was at the time, the world’s best hooker.

Taylor was Luke Skywalker, Coles Obi-wan Kenobe.

That was the way of things until 2017 when in an alarming further similarity to the movie, Coles, like Kenobe, was struck down.

Concussion and calf injuries saw him miss much of the first part of 2017, while a serious knee injury ruled him out of almost all of this season.

And with Coles out of the picture, again, eerily similar to the Star Wars story, Taylor fasttracked the learning of his craft.

With regular game time, Taylor grew in confidence and he’s been one of the most consistently impressive All Blacks since the Lions series last year.

Which means that here we are now with the old master ready to come back, but not necessarily in such an obvious mentoring capacity.

If there was a bit of daylight between them at the start of 2017, then there no longer is.

There is certainly not an obvious gap between them in terms of ability and potential impact and at the moment Taylor sits as the number one, until Coles has at least had some more time on the field, having only managed bit parts in the Mitre 10 Cup so far this year.

Perhaps when he’s back in the groove, Coles will reclaim his starting role, but there has been a role reversal that should last for the next few weeks at least.

Taylor, once the pupil, is now playing the role of teacher.

“I came into the mix in 2015 and he has always been unreal for me,” Taylor says of Coles.

Kiwi win locked in A New Zealander is guaranteed to be a winner in the women’s world sevens rugby player of the year category after Michaela Blyde, Sarah Goss and Portia Woodman were named as the three nominees for the award, which will be announced at World Rugby’s annual prize-giving in Monte Carlo on November 26.

Whitelock eyes Japan All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock admits that time in Japan is a career option he’s considering but says he won’t make his mind up about his future until after the end of year tour. Whitelock, along with Beauden Barrett and Brodie Retallick comes off contract after next year’s World Cup, and all three are understood to be considering making longterm commitments to New Zealand Rugby that include one or possibly two sabbatical seasons in Japan. Whitelock, still only 29, is believed to want to have a crack at being part of the All Blacks 2023 World Cup campaign, but feels that after 10 seasons with the Crusaders and national side, he’ll need some kind of break. - NZME

Quade lashes out

Codie Taylor and Dane Coles form a formidable duo battling for the hooker’s spot.

“I was a sponge taking as much knowledge as I could from him and Kev [Keven Mealamu] and the same goes now.

“With him being out for the

“

“It is a great chance for me to give that back to him and when he gets his chance, he’ll be ready to go.”

While the balance of power

The role may have changed a little because we have changed the way we are trying to play a little bit in the All Blacks

amount of time he has, the role may have changed a little because we have changed the way we are trying to play a little bit in the All Blacks and he wants to learn all that.

in their relationship may have shifted somewhat in the last two years, Taylor, like the rest of the squad is relieved to see Coles come back.

He brings not only a wealth

of experience and leadership skills, but also a fresh pair of legs, mental energy and a determination that few other players can match.

With five tests in five weeks coming as they do at the end of a long hard rugby season – particularly for Taylor who was heavily involved with the Crusaders and has had the bulk of the All Blacks game time at hooker – the return of Coles is perfectly timed.

“I think he is probably a little bit nervous given how long he has been out of the game,” Sam Whitelock said of Coles.

“But Dane is Dane and he is going to bring a bit of edge and get out there and be excited.

“No doubt him and Codie will find each other somewhere on the field.”

Former Wallabies five-eighth Quade Cooper has dropped the biggest hint yet he’ll sign with the Rebels while delivering an inyour-face message to Brad Thorn.

In a not-so-cryptic social media post, the 30-year-old said the Queensland Reds had “forced” him out of the Super Rugby team he loves but “but thank God there’s more than one place that loves me”. Cooper was frozen out by Reds coach Thorn from the outset this season and settled for playing club rugby while on a Reds salary in excess of $600,000.

■ OPINION

Tongans put on a show

O

n Saturday night I witnessed some of the most incredible scenes I’ve ever seen on New Zealand sporting soil, and the most incredible part of it was that there wasn’t a New Zealand team in sight.

Like thousands of people around the country I tuned in to the first ever rugby league test match between Australia and Tonga at Mt Smart Stadium, and it was just amazing.

It wasn’t so much what happened on the field, as it was about what happened off the field.

Mt Smart was bathed in a brilliant sea of red as New Zealand’s large Tongan community stepped out in full colour and voice to support their Mate Ma’a Tonga side.

I have been to Mt Smart Stadium a few times before to watch my beloved Warriors, and I can not imagine what it must have been like to have been there in person on Saturday night’s grand occasion.

Watching avdily as the thousands of people all wearing red

and proudly toting their Tongan flags swarmed down the hill and into the stadium as the game neared, and then seeing just how much red there was in the stands was truly a sight to behold.

There was the odd Australian supporter there, every now and then you’d catch a glimpse of the union jack peeking through the mass of Tongan flags, but they were well and truly outsupported.

I’m sure the Australian players well knew that they were going to be on the losing side when it came to support from the sidelines, but judging by the looks on the faces of some of the players as the two sides walked out of the players’ tunnel, I think even they were surprised by the scene they were met with.

A couple of tentative wee smiles and ‘what on earth have we walked into’ sort of looks were exchanged between players.

There were plenty of players in both sides who have played in big league matches before,

Erin Tasker SPORTS REPORTER

whether it be NRL grand finals, State of Origin, or World Cup finals, but this was something else altogether.

Tongan fans are a passionate bunch.

The support for their side wasn’t limited to Auckland on Saturday, or in the days leading up to the historical clash.

If you have ventured on to the roads of Ashburton at all in the past week, I can almost guarantee that you would have passed a car with Tongan flags flying on the roof, hanging out windows or draped over bonnets.

Sometimes passion can go too far.

A while ago referee Matt Chechin spoke out about the

death threats he received after refereeing the Rugby League World Cup semi-final between Tonga and England, which Tonga lost.

But on Saturday night, the passion was all positive.

The Tongans didn’t have a lot to cheer about when it came to the on-field action and the final score, but when there was something to cheer about the crowd could probably just about have been heard from the top of the Sky Tower.

The roar when Tevita Pangai Junior spied a gap on the 15-minute mark and went in for his side’s first try after Australia had scored a couple of quick ones, was huge.

It may not have been Tonga’s night on the field, but the match was a win.

The tears on the cheeks of the Tongans as they sung the national anthem, and the feeling they put out when they performed their Sipi Tau showed just how much the occasion meant to the players.

And it was a pleasure to watch it.

Hasler will be forced to operate below the NRL’s salary cap next year with a $330,000 punishment still hanging over their head. However, on the field their roster at least appears in far better shape this time around. Tom and Jake Trbojevic are 21 and 24 but are already first-choice picks for Australia. Hasler will also have Kangaroos halfback Daly CherryEvans at his disposal.

Bennett still the man Brisbane halfback Kodi Nikorima insists Wayne Bennett’s no busted flush and maintains the seven-time premiership-winning coach still has what it takes to lead the Broncos.

Uncertainty surrounds Bennett’s future at Red Hill and whether he will see out the final year of his contract after the Broncos board decided against offering the 68-year-old a new deal in 2020. But New Zealand playmaker Nikorima believes Bennett, who gave him his NRL debut in 2015, is still at the peak of his powers and has plenty yet to offer. The 24-year-old will be a key cog in the Kiwis side that takes on Bennett’s England team in Hull on Sunday morning.

Tania aces it

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

A hole-in-one is a memorable feat for any golfer, but Methven golfer Tania Wilson’s first ace had some added wow factor.

Wilson was playing at the Ocean Course in the holiday resort of Kauai, Hawaii, when she struck her first ace in September.

The ace came on the picturesque course’s par three, 115-yard eighth hole and was struck with the 19-handicap golfer’s own nine wood, with Wilson and husband Stuart having taken their own clubs on the long trip to Hawaii.

The couple were on a Charlie’s Golf Tour, a holiday which saw them cruise around the islands’ golfing spots, clubs in tow, and playing five rounds of golf in 10 days.

It was the third time that the couple had been on one of the unique golfing holidays, but it was the first time either of them had achieved the rare golfing feat of a hole-inone.

“If you want to know the real

story, my husband said he nearly got one the day before, so I showed him the next day how it was really done,” Wilson joked.

“It was an expensive shout though, the dollar was not in our favour.”

Wilson, a golfer of 14 years, said the shot felt good off the tee.

“I was really pleased with it.

“I went ‘that felt good’ and the girls said it went in the hole and I said ‘no it didn’t, it was short and it went behind’,” Wilson said.

But when they got to the green her playing mates wouldn’t even let her get her putter out of her bag, making her go straight to the hole to check, and the ball was indeed in the hole.

Sadly though, the rest of Wilson’s Ocean Course round didn’t quite live up to that perfect shot on the eighth.

“I had eight points in two holes, then I blew up after that.

“The reality clicked in.”

But, it gave her one heck of a story to tell when she got back to the Methven Golf Club.

Right – Methven golfer Tania Wilson was celebrating recently after hitting her first hole-in-one during a golfing holiday to Hawaii.

Ozil stars as Arsenal gun down Leicester

By Mark Mann-Bryan A sublime display from captain Mesut Ozil inspired Arsenal as they came from behind to beat Leicester in the Premier League and extend their winning run to 10 games.

After a shaky start from the Gunners, Leicester took the lead through a Hector Bellerin own goal but Ozil – back in the side following a back spasm – turned home an equaliser on the stroke of half-time.

He was then heavily involved in two goals for substitute PierreEmerick Aubameyang, who had also netted twice off the bench at Fulham last time out, with Arsenal

eventually running out 3-1 winners at the Emirates Stadium.

Coach Unai Emery will be slightly concerned by the pedestrian nature of Arsenal’s opening 40 minutes, but the Spaniard will be pleased to toast a seven-match Premier League winning streak which has taken his side to within two points of the top.

While Arsenal were flat-footed from the start, the visitors started particularly brightly with Kelechi Iheanacho twice threatening in the opening exchanges.

Bernd Leno made a superb stop to keep out Harry Maguire’s header as Claude Puel’s side continued to dominate, before Jamie Vardy came within inches

of heading in Ricardo Pereira’s cross.

The constant pressure soon paid off as Leicester took the lead, albeit in fortuitous circumstances, as Wilfried Ndidi fed Ben Chilwell and his pass deflected in off Bellerin, wrong-footing Leno in the process.

The visitors were unable to hold out until the interval as Arsenal’s head of steam saw them draw level courtesy of Ozil, who steered Bellerin’s low cross past Kasper Schmeichel with aplomb in the last minute of the half.

The hosts were visibly lifted by their leveller as the second half commenced, Henrikh Mkhitaryan spurning a decent chance after

smart work from Alexandre Lacazette.

Emery looked to change things around by introducing both Matteo Guendouzi and Aubameyang from the bench with an hour gone as Lichtsteiner and Mkhitaryan made way.

It took the Gabon striker less than two minutes to make the difference, sweeping home from close-range after Ozil’s perfect pass allowed Bellerin to send in a low cross.

Ozil was again heavily involved as Arsenal scored their third of the night soon after, Aubameyang tucking home from in front of goal after a delicious pass from the German.

The win extended Arsenal’s unbeaten run to 10 matches ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash with Sporting Lisbon.

“We are happy because we are progressing.

“We need to play with organisation but also with heart,” Emery told Sky Sports.

“We are beginning to play with heart.

“When you continue to improve your demands are very high. We need to control the matches more than we are doing now.

“First half we didn’t play well, but then we played with quality and heart.

“This feeling together is very good.”

Embellish back on track Embellish showed a glimpse of his talent at last week’s Te Awamutu trials, but he won’t be part of the Te Akau Racing Stables squad competing at the New Zealand Cup meeting at Riccarton next month.

Winner of the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) last November, the son of Savabeel hasn’t raced since finishing midfield in the Gr.1 Australian Guineas (1600m) at Flemington in March.

In the meantime he has had just two trials, the first when unplaced at Cambridge earlier this month and the other when beating Caprikosa over 1150m last Thursday.

“He looks to be back on track,”

M6

trainer Jamie Richards said. “He’s taken a bit of time this year, but Opie (Bosson) was pleased with his trial.”

A winner of three of his eight starts, Embellish holds a nomination for the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) at Riccarton on November 14, but won’t be taking his place in the feature.

“It’s come around a bit too soon,” Richards said.

“We’ll play around with him and have him ready for Ellerslie over the Christmas-New Year period.

“He could start off in an open 1300m at Tauranga on November 3 and could be a chance for a race like the Gr.2 Rich Hill Mile at Ellerslie (January 1).”

Trainer Jamie Richards A brother to the Group One winner Diademe and closely related to two-time Group One winner Sacred Star, Embellish is raced by the Te Akau 2016 Breeding Syndicate along with Brendan and Jo Lindsay, the owners of Cambridge Stud.

The Lindsays bought a 50 per cent interest in Embellish after his Group One win and soon afterward he finished second in the Listed Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie, splitting Scott Base and Savvy Coup.

Though Embellish will be missing from the Coupland’s Bakeries Mile, his stablemate Te Akau Shark is currently the $1.90 Fixed Odds favourite in the 1600m feature, while Sword Of Osman put his hand up for a tilt at the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) on November 10 with a narrow win in Monday’s Gr.2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial Stakes (1400m) at Te Rapa.

Barrier six for Winx Three-time Gr.1 Cox Pate (2040m) winner Winx will jump from barrier six when she lines-up in the Moonee Valley feature on Saturday.

If victorious, the Chris Wallertrained runner will hold the record for the most Cox Plate wins, surpassing her own record which she jointly holds with Kingston Town who won three Cox Plates in the early 1980s.

Jon Snow ruled out Jon Snow’s Melbourne spring campaign has come to an end after he tailed the field home in Saturday’s Gr.1 Caulfield Cup. Nothing went to plan for the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained five-year-old and the decision has been made by his connections to bring him home.

“Bursting through the gates didn’t help,” Forsman said. “Damian (Lane) said he came out of the gates the second time and felt like a bit of a stunned mullet.” - NZME

Report at 11.30am for a 12 noon start.

The Kiwis enjoyed their trip north – a

two-day stop in Dubai featuring a desert safari with some players adopting full local attire, with Bromwich suggesting “Isaac Liu actually looked like a local I thought”.

Maguire’s trust extended to allowing some of the 24-man squad to visit Dublin on their day off before returning to camp on Saturday afternoon in Wigan.

Back to business, he has been quick to ensure no heads are in the clouds.

“It’s only one victory,” Maguire said.

“We haven’t really done anything yet.

“It’s about what you do over a long, long period of time. That’s something the team has spoken about and I think is the reason why they’ve dived straight back into training. We understand what we are heading into.

“I’ve looked at the team and the dynamics of where we want to go.

“I’m a big believer in youth. You give a young man an opportunity and they perform and keep performing, well, they can stay there for a long period of time.

“At the international level it’s something I suppose the Australian team has had, and the England team have now, is a lot of players who have played a lot of football together.

“Having that over a period of time is something I want to build.”

These messages are music to the ears of especially those who have experienced the extreme highs and lows the Kiwis often encompass.

Bromwich, for one, has noticed changes from previous squads.

“I think there is a bit of a different feeling.

“A lot of the boys are young. I’ve come into camps before where the boys are older. You look around the team now and there’s only really Adam Blair that has been there for a real long time.

“The young boys have great attitudes.

They’re all hungry to play.

“Michael let us savour the moment after the game but as soon as we got over here he let us know that’s been and done; we’re here for a job, we’re here to make our families proud, work hard and play some good football.” - NZME

Corey Anderson is no stranger to the Black Caps squad.

■ CRICKET

Black Caps add some firepower New Zealand A captain Corey Anderson and top order batsman Glenn Phillips have been selected as the additions to the Black Caps T20 squad to face Pakistan at the end of the month.

The duo will play the two remaining one-day A games against Pakistan A in Dubai this week, before linking with the Black Caps as part of a 13-player squad.

Selector Gavin Larsen said Anderson and Phillips have been rewarded for strong performances for New Zealand A through the recent T20 series.

“Corey and Glenn are in good form and have performed well in the local conditions over the past couple of weeks,” Larsen said.

“They obviously bring plenty of firepower, but their versatility will also give the squad the desired balance.

“Despite Martin Guptill being ruled out, we’ve decided to name just two rather than three additional players, taking the squad to 13.

“We’re confident that, with the As on the ground over there, we

have adequate cover.”

Anderson, who last played for the Black Caps at the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, said it was always an exciting moment getting that call.

“It’s obviously been a long road back and after the surgery there were some long tedious days,” he said.

“But this is what the rehab is for and to be picked again is a great feeling.”

Larsen said returning to the international scene was an important step for the talented 27-yearold all-rounder.

“Corey’s had a really good winter playing in the UK and training back at home, and has shown on the New Zealand A tour he’s more than ready for the rigours of international cricket.”

The final game of the New Zealand A one-day series is on Friday, after which Larsen and coach Gary Stead will name the final additions to the Black Caps ODI squad.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): A little comedy will give a nice hum to an otherwise run-of-the-mill scenario.

Your wry humour lands perfectly with the company you’ll keep, and you could attract an admirer at that.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Everyone wants a piece of the pie today, and you’ll take it one step further, preferring to call the flavour, too.

You’re going to have to do the baking now... more work, and more satisfaction.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Feeling special in the eyes of others is important to everyone. It’s wonderful to be adored and loved. While praise from others is a highlight today, real and lasting validation comes from within.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): If life is a highway, then today represents that stretch of road dominated by a rumbling hunger. Look for signs that will tell you where you might drive up and order what you need to feed your soul.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The same outcome could be considered a victory or a loss, depending on the larger surrounding context and the expectations of those involved. Success may be a matter of opinion.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Disorder threatens to make work inefficient, though it will tend to make life more interesting. It’s a trade-off you might consider before you clean, clear and organise it all.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Rested, energised, happy minds make the best decisions. It’s why some people are a different person two hours into their day than they are 14 hours into it. It’s also why nothing great happens past 2am.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Listen to your trusted people. They see you more clearly than you’ll see yourself. There also may be excellent information from the unvetted general public.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Business is not the only area of life ruled by the laws of supply and demand. People in certain social roles who feel underappreciated can easily find a different and better placement.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You can’t control what people think about you while it’s happening, so don’t worry. The time to influence people’s impression of you is before you ever meet them. How you prepare will be everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There are those who work very hard to make it look easy, and then there are those who make it look easy because it is actually easy to them. The first category appreciates compliments; the second doesn’t.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): As you concentrate on improvements that can be quantified (such as number of books read, number of calories consumed, number of people reached out to...) unquantifiable improvements will take hold.

TODD, Alisha Kaye – 6-3-1978 - 24-10-2017 One year ago you left us, leaving a huge gap in so many lives. It only feels like yesterday but so much has happened already. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of you, your huge smile and infectious laugh still echoing in my head. Life will never be the same without you by my side. I can only hope you are finally at peace. You may be gone but will never be forgotten living through your four beautiful, amazing girls who you would be so proud of. Miss you all so, so much my gorgeous, amazing wife.

Love you always and forever.

Your husband Ray, daughters Jessie, Ashlin, Savannah and Luka. xoxo HASTIE, Verna Gash – Jennifer, Diane, Richard and families would like to express their thanks and appreciation of the kindness and support they received from friends and family and especially Verna’s Tauranga family and friends during the three months after she suffered a debilitating stroke and after she passed. It was a very difficult time and the compassion and friendship was thoughtful and supportive. Thank you to the hospital staff, Dr Ritchie, and the dedicated care she received from the staff at Radius Millstream, the respect and care from Barry and Katrina from Paterson’s and to Bernard for helping us to celebrate Mum’s life and to let her and us, rest and be at peace. A special thank you to the groups in her social network with whom Mum was involved and the individuals who made contact and let us know how much they valued her as a person for her friendship, determination and poise.

JUNIORS SHINE ON COURT

Sam Kingsbury eyes up a backhand return during the Ashburton Trust Junior Tennis Open at the weekend.

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The sun didn’t stop smiling down on the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre over Labour weekend, helping to make the annual Ashburton Trust Junior Tennis Open a huge success.

Around 130 young tennis players from around the South Island converged on the tennis centre for the tournament, which began on Saturday morning and wrapped up on Monday.

The 14s age group was the one

which attracted the biggest field, and the singles titles were won

by Nathan McKenzie for the boys and Amelia McKeown for the girls, beating Luca Landells and Brianna Howell in their respective finals.

The 14s doubles titles went the way of McKenzie and Ben Michael, who beat Landells and Tyler Leonard in the final, while the girls’ final was won by McKeown and Howell, who defeated Lucy Crawford and Phoebe GuileHughes in a three set final.

In the older age group, the 16/18 boys’ singles title was won

by Grayson Cullen, who only dropped one game in the final against Jenner Johnson, while the doubles title was won by Ayoub Ahmad and Cullen.

They downed the Ashburton pairing of Connor Brosnahan and Bryn Looij in the final 6-0 6-3.

Down in the 12s, the girls’ singles final saw Charlie Byers defeat Maia Liu, while the girls’ doubles final was won by Nishitha Maarka and Isabella Van Dooren.

For the boys, the 12s singles title was taken out by top seed Josh Karathra who beat Oliver Bubb in the final 4-6 6-3 6-3, and the doubles title was also won by the top seeds, Tyrell Eden and Gus Preston.

In the 10s, third seed Tate Aikawa downed top seed Jacob Adam in the semi-finals on his way to the final, in which he beat Ashburton’s Riley Breen 2-4 4-1 7-4.

Breen took out the doubles title though, teaming up with Josh Gilbert and taking out the final.

For the 10s girls, the singles title was won by Lucy Young, while the doubles title was won by Aminah Ahmad and Young.

The youngest competitors were in the under 9s section, where the boys’ singles was won

by Hugo Brosnahan, who beat Anzac Robinson Hawkins in the final, and the girls’ title was won

by Arabella Brosnahan in a round robin.

Arabella Brosnahan then teamed up with Annalise King to take out the doubles title.
