Five things that may interest you

Sneak preview of Fifty Shades

The first look at Fifty Shades of Grey has fans in a tizzy – for the most part. Fifty Shades of Grey was one of the top trending tweets yesterday, following the trailer’s release overnight.

Many fans were delighted by the first sizzling glimpse of kinky billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele, taking to Twitter to express their excitement. Author E L James, who wrote the bestselling romance/ bondage book the movie is based on, was also rejoicing. When fans tweeted her saying they were cheering and dancing watching the trailer, she replied: “Me too! <3”. The casting of Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in the lead roles did, however, leave fans disappointed.

Some, just want the whole thing to go away. Fifty Shades of Grey releases on Valentine’s Day, 2015.

CONTACTS days to go

Back in time 26 July 1894 Breaking up was very hard to do in colonial New Zealand: Richard Mostyn Hoops, who left Invercargill per the SS Wakatipu, has been arrested in Melbourne on a charge of wife desertion. Constable Burrows leaves on Monday to bring him back.

It is said his wife’s suspicions were aroused by hearing her husband had been spreading a statement that she was in bad health, which was not true.

Shane Warne denies kissing Sophie Monk Shane Warne has denied kissing Sophie Monk but the radio DJ says she doesn’t lie. Monk was tricked into admitting she had kissed the former Australian cricketer when being quizzed about her love life by her 2DayFM co-hosts Jules Lund and Merrick Watts on Thursday morning. But Warne says that’s not true and has confirmed he’s in a relationship with model Emily Scott. The spin king was asked about “the kiss” while appearing on the Kyle & Jacki O show on Sydney’s Kiis 1065 on Friday morning and seemed staggered by the suggestion. “I think Sophie mentioned on her radio show that you guys had hooked up,” Kyle Sandilands told Warne. “What,” Warne exclaimed. “No that’s not true, we’ve been friends for ages,” Warne said. Earlier in the interview, Warne spoke of his relationship with model Emily Scott, confirming they are an item. “Yes Emily is my girlfriend,” Warne said. “She’s met my parents, met the children, we hung out in Vegas ... she was fantastic with the children.”

Work doesn’t harm ‘em School students can forget trying to wriggle out of a part-time job – new research says it isn’t all that bad. Children who juggle school and work are not shown to suffer any long-term disadvantage, according to the University of Otago. The research, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, found paid, regular employment of school children was not associated with any long-term harmful effects on their wellbeing and education, and did not lead to increased smoking or drug use. The long-running Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study followed 1000 people born in 1972 and 1973 to the age of 38. Lead author Dr Ella Iosua said it appeared working after school did not prevent the children aged between 11 and 15 from completing homework. “Nor did such work make them more likely to smoke, drink alcohol excessively, or regularly use cannabis in adulthood,” Dr Iosua said.

■ ASHBURTON DRUG RAIDS

Major impact on local drug scene

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Drug busts which resulted in 14 people being arrested in Mid Canterbury this week will have a major impact on the district’s drug scene, the district’s police commander says.

Mid/South Canterbury area commander Inspector Dave Gaskin was in Ashburton on Wednesday to oversee the raids on numerous properties around town which resulted in arrests and substantial quantities of drugs – both cannabis

and methamphetamine – being seized, along with an undisclosed amount of cash.

“It’s a major effect on the criminal fraternity in Ashburton and the drug culture,” Mr Gaskin said.

“I don’t think we are naïve enough to think it’s going to disappear altogether, but at least these people are aware we are not going to tolerate it.”

More than 60 police officers from Timaru and Christchurch converged on town on Wednesday and a total of 13 people

were arrested. Another woman was arrested on Thursday night, taking the total number of arrests to 14.

That woman – reported by the Christchurch court news website as Stacey Leigh Curtis, 24, of Allenton – appeared in the Christchurch District Court yesterday and was bailed.

Mr Gaskin said taking 14 people out of the local drug scene, even if only for a short time, was huge.

He said some of those arrested were allegedly dealers

of some “reasonably serious narcotics”.

Four people spent Wednesday night in police custody and appeared in the Christchurch District Court on Thursday facing charges relating to the sell and supply of drugs.

They were all remanded without plea to appear in the Ashburton District Court on August 18.

The remainder of those arrested were released on police bail and are also due to appear in the Ashburton District

Court. Mr Gaskin said a lot of time and effort had gone in to planning Wednesday’s raids, which formed phase one of Operation Webster – an operation police say will be ongoing against the district’s drug underbelly.

Phase two of the operation is due to get under way in the next couple of weeks.

Phase two will again target groups and individuals believed to have connections to that underbelly, as well as providing community assurance.

■ FAIRFIELD CRICKET CLUB ARSON

Fire a further knock back to struggling cricket club

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It’s a club with more than 100 years of history, but the Fairfield Cricket Club now faces a massive uphill climb to get back up and running after a fire at its clubhouse early yesterday morning.

The fire ripped through the main area of the clubrooms and a locked storage shed at the back which contained a $3000 mower and equipment like nets, leaving the club with virtually no assets.

Club president Steve McCloy was unaware of the fire when the Guardian called him. He went straight there and was disheartened and angered by what he saw.

“It’s just senseless vandalism that doesn’t achieve anything,” he said.

Although the club did not have enough players to field a team last season, it’s still affiliated to Mid Canterbury Cricket

and they were looking to the future, with hopes of bringing in some young blood to get a team back on the pitch next season.

Mr McCloy said the club was determined the fire would not spell the end though, even if it meant pitching a tent as a temporary clubrooms.

It’s not the first time they’ve faced hurdles like this. They’ve had windows broken in the past and couches set on fire. They no longer have insurance; they’ve been on the edge of the financial cliff, but they’re still going.

They will now face the cost of buying a new mower and nets, on top of their already daunting fundraising task. Balls and affiliation fees alone cost a club around $3000 a year and with just 11 or 12 players on the roster paying subs of $150, there was no extra money floating around for unexpected costs like those caused by the fire.

“Money is hard enough to

come across to run a club and to have it taken away by a prank or stupidity is frustrating,” Mr McCloy said.

The only saving grace was the fact that the club’s honours board and vital pieces of history had been removed following earlier incidents of vandalism.

Had they still been there, they would have been destroyed, Mr McCloy said.

A lot of hard work and volunteer hours have gone into it in the past, and even more lie ahead now, but the club is vowing not to be beaten.

Police and fire safety investigators say the fire started in a chair, spread to the back wall and the ceiling. With no power source it was either deliberately lit, or accidentally lit by someone potentially using the building.

Anyone with any information in relation to the fire is asked to contact Ashburton Police.

Steve McCloy from the Fairfield Cricket Club inspects the damage caused by a fire at the club’s rooms early yesterday.

■ BARING SQUARE METHODIST CHURCH

In brief

Maintenance the vexing issue

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Finding the money to repair Ashburton’s Methodist church is not the problem, it’s the cost of maintenance and insurance long term that is vexing the Baring Square church’s parishoners.

The parish went to the community this week, calling a meeting where it asked for ideas that would generate long

term income for the church complex. And while there were ideas put forward, developing those into a dollar earning project would take considerable work, said church property officer Allan Tweed.

“The meeting was good because it gave us an opportunity to explain our dilemma to the community and how difficult it is for us.

“People seem to be focusing on generating money to fix the

church but this is not our problem; our problem is being a viable church once we get it fixed.

But we don’t want to have the label as the people who demolished the church either,” Mr Tweed said.

The reality the church had to face was that there was little point in fixing the church building if the parish couldn’t afford to pay for maintenance costs and insurance into the future, he said.

In about two weeks church members will meet to discuss some of the user and fundraising ideas put forward.

There was a loose target date at the end of the year to have a decision made on whether the best outcome would be to repair or demolish the church.

“This is the hardest call in the world to make.

“It would have been easier if the church had fallen over after the earthquake.”

■ NORTHPARK RAIL CROSSING

Barrier arms could cost ratepayers $30,000

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It could cost ratepayers at least $30,000 to install barrier arms at the accident riddled Northpark Road rail crossing.

After a fatality at the crossing last month, a resident approached Ashburton mayor Angus McKay with a plan that would see the council enter into a cost sharing scheme to improve safety measures at the site.

While KiwiRail plans to install bells and lights later this year, Mr McKay believes that does not go far enough.

At Thursday’s meeting of the Ashburton District Council’s service delivery committee, a report on the rail crossing was presented and councillors were divided over ratepayer funds being used to provide additional safety measures.

Councillor Donna Favel wanted mayor Angus McKay and chief executive Andrew Dalziel to pursue action through discussions with KiwiRail.

Using ratepayer money for

Rates rebates In the year to June 30, 736 Ashburton ratepayers applied for and were granted a rebate on their rates payments. The amount discounted from rates for the year was $383,896. In the year to June 30, 2013, 764 ratepayers received rebates to the value of $395,353.

Ratepayers can now apply for rebates on the current year’s rates if they own a property and their income is $24,250 or below. An additional income allowance of $500 is made for each dependent of the property owner. The closing date for applications is June 30, 2015.

Wedding Expo Everything you need to know about planning a wedding can be found under one roof tomorrow at the Mid Canterbury Wedding Expo.

Now in its third year, the annual event will see 32 stallholders set up shop offering information, competitions and prizes, organiser Nicole Williams said. Entry will be $10 and the day will run from 10am to 4pm at the Hotel Ashburton.

The expo will feature two runway shows showcasing wedding dresses, at 11.30am and 2pm.

A court first Evidence from a cellphone has been used for the first time to convict a person of possession and making a copy of objectionable material. Hastings man Michael Lawrence Worsnop, 29, was found to have 154 pictures of child sexual abuse on his cellphone. He pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 17 months in prison

by Judge Bridget Mackintosh at the Napier District Court yesterday.

barrier arms wasn’t supported by councillor Darryl Nelson who said flashing lights and bells were the right level of warning at the crossing.

While he supported pushing KiwiRail to install barrier arms, Mr McKay said he believed the funding responsibility still lay with the rail company.

The safety factor, however, changed priorities, he said.

“I’ve had people phone me and say I shouldn’t entertain the idea of putting ratepayers’ money into this but I disagree.

“Any issue relating to the safety of people in this community is something the council should look at.”

By initiating discussions with KiwiRail on the Northpark Road crossing, Mr McKay said he hoped he would be able to raise concerns about other crossings in the district, some of which have been the scene of fatal accidents and yet remained without any warning signs.

Solid Energy could be set to slash 28 jobs at its Christchurch head office, as part of a new corporate structure. Solid Energy communications manager Bryn Somerville said they were consulting with staff over removing 28 of the 88 roles at the headquarters. Some of those positions were currently vacant.

“It is proposing a new corporate structure which is aligned with the company’s reduced size, scope and scale and would better support its mining operations to deliver their operational plans.”

■ CRUSADERS’ SEMI-FINAL

Will’s flying the flag for Mid Canty

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A coin toss decided rugby-mad Will Lemon’s Methven Under 8s wouldn’t play in the final at the Ashburton Showgrounds today but he picked up a pretty good consolation prize.

Will (right) won’t feature in the club final but he will be at the Crusaders’ Super 15 semi-final against the Sharks where he will represent Mid Canterbury.

He is one of six JAB players selected to fly the flag for the provincial unions that make up the Crusaders region.

His mother Kerri secretly entered him into the Crusaders Facebook competition and was able to break the news to him on Wednesday night.

“He just smiled quietly but then started shouting “wahoo” every half hour out of nowhere,” Kerri said.

“He is crazy about rugby. He’s slept with a rugby ball since he was four and he is really excited.”

Will has been to AMI Stadium several times to watch the Crusaders from the stands but this time he gets a close up view from the field.

He gets a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium, to watch the team warm-up from the sideline, and will then be a flag bearer as the Crusaders run onto the field before taking a seat to take in the action.

First though, he has his last game of the season for Methven against Hampstead, before popping over to the showgrounds to watch some finals and then on to Christchurch to complete a big day of rugby.

■ TELECOM CHARGES

Paper bill charge defended Telecom has come to the defence of the $1.50 fee it charges for paper bills, saying that charge does not apply universally to all of its services.

Public affairs head Conor Roberts said there had been considerable confusion around the fee which applied to broadband accounts and post-paid mobile accounts.

It does not apply to landline only, prepaid mobile or dial up internet accounts.

Customers on those plans

can still receive a paper bill for free.

“Telecom believes providing customer services like billing and payments through digital channels is the way forward for our business and we are increasingly shifting our products and services online (as are many other businesses and organisations).

“It is convenient, cost effective, and makes sense from an environmental perspective,” Mr Roberts said.

The $1.50 paper bill fee reflected the cost of providing a paper bill (including printing, postage and other operational costs).

Telecom has actively encouraged and supported its customers to make the change to using electronic payment methods.

If anyone needed assistance, they could call 123, or visit www.telecom.co.nz/mytelecom, he said.

“The crucial thing is that we

don’t want customers to pay the fee – we would much rather they avoid it by moving over to an online bill.”

The $1.50 over-the-counter charge at NZ Post shops reflected costs passed on from NZ Post and included the administrative cost of manually collecting and processing the bill through the post office.

This charge and the paper bill charge were increasingly normal for service companies, Mr Roberts said.

■ EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO

Young dancers in for a special experience Ruby Wills and Sarah Moore are winging their way to Scotland to perform in this year’s Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The two Ashburton girls are part of a 30 strong contingent of highland dancers representing New Zealand at the event.

New Zealand started participating in this tattoo in 2002 to celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee.

For 16-year-old Ruby, this is the second time her family has been part of the event, with older sister Kate a member of the inaugural New Zealand team.

Performances take place over three weeks in the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, daily from Monday to Friday, with two shows on Saturday evenings.

On Saturday and Sunday the team travels to perform at smaller events and march in street parades around Scotland.

The team arrives in Scotland a week before the tattoo starts and will begin daily rehearsals.

To gain a position in the team, dancers had to submit a video of three highland danc-

The Air Nelson aircraft was left stranded on the runway with a full load of passengers due to the malfunction, airport manager Kevin Kill said yesterday. “The airport is closed until such time as we can move the aircraft. “They’re sending engineers up from Nelson via helicopter and we hope to have it moved by somewhere around 6pm tonight. “The plane was departing.

We had to ferry the passengers off the plane by bus, back to the terminal.”

es, with an accompaning CV and references.

Selection was based on the quality of their dances, and their commitment and involvement in Highland Dance.

Both girls learn from Julie Hawke School of Dance, and travel to Christchurch at least once a week for classes.

They also have a weekly practice in Ashburton with

Lana Donaldson.

For the first time the highland dancers are travelling and performing with two of New Zealand’s top Kapa Haka groups; Te Waka Huia and Te Whanau a Apanui.

The team has assembled twice in Auckland to learn their dances and to meet the Kapa Haka groups.

Combining the two very dif-

ferent art forms into one eight minute dance was a challenge, but the choreographers from both sides rose to the challenge to come up with a unique piece.

The dance follows the story of the Maori, the arrival of the Scottish settlers and the ensuing strife.

It ends with both groups dancing as one.

Explosives found The discovery of what appeared to be explosives caused the closure of a popular Dunedin scenic drive.

Contractors discovered the items on John Wilson Ocean Dr, and notified police. “They found what appears to be some explosives,” said acting Senior Sergeant Ben Butterfield of the Southern District command centre. That prompted the closure of the road to pedestrians and vehicles and the partial closure of several holes at the Chisholm Park Golf Club.

In brief Thief jailed An Auckland woman who admitted stealing nearly $4.5 million from the transport company she worked for has been sentenced to four years, six months’ jail. Sushila Devi Mosese, 51, pleaded guilty to eight charges of dishonestly using a document to obtain nearly $4.5m from Mainfreight dating back to 2006. She appeared in the Auckland District Court before Judge Phillipa Cunningham yesterday for sentencing. As the company’s credit controller, Mosese was in charge of collecting outstanding invoices, depositing cheques for payments into a bank account with a similar name to her employer. Nearly 500 cheques were deposited into the account she controlled, from which she withdrew cash – up to $850,000 in one year.

■ EYESORE FINALLY GONE

Bridge approach area cleared For months it’s been an eyesore, but Ashburton District Council parks staff were working this week to improve a bank area on the southern side of the Ashburton River. Trees along the rail line bank were damaged in the September wind storm, but the clean up job was made more difficult because removing the tree stumps would have destabilised the bank. Over the past few months rubble has been deposited in the area, open spaces manager David Askin said, and this week machinery was on site levelling the area and preparing it for spring landscaping.

Thieves hit laundromats

By Elliot ParkEr Thieves have caused at least $2000 worth of damage to laundromat operators in the last week, all for the sake of gaining some loose change.

They targeted two of the Mawley Park coin boxes, which operate their driers, on Tuesday just before 9.30pm in what owner Rodney Algie described as a “brazen” move.

The thieves ripped two of the coin boxes off the wall. They are worth $700 each but “didn’t have many coins in them”. They caused damage to the wiring of the driers which Mr Algie had to have fixed. All up he said the theft cost him about $2000.

Mr Algie said he will be installing security cameras to prevent further thefts.

He has also had to issue two trespass notices against people coming into the campground without permission.

Wairarapa Laundrette on Renall St was also targeted by thieves last week.

Doug Flemming, who coowns the laundromat, was unavailable but an employee said it was the second time the laundromat had been targeted.

Senior Sergeant Mike Sutton said: “We are investigating these thefts and also ask that any places of business that do operate coin operated machines be mindful of the security they have around them.

Carjack claim sought Police want to hear from a woman who claimed she fought off a carjacker at a service station in Whangarei. Police said they had not received a complaint regarding the incident but due to the serious nature of the allegation contacted the service station and viewed the CCTV footage. The footage showed a man in a hooded red jacket walking up to the car, opening the door, reaching in and then taking off. The man didn’t appear to be forcing his way on to the driver’s seat. However, Whangarei Senior Sergeant Cliff Metcalfe said the man appeared to be committing an offence of unlawfully interfering with a motor vehicle.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Japanese students settling in Thirty students from Japan’s Tokorozawa-Kita High School got a special lesson on the history of Ashburton and the similarities between New Zealand and Japan yesterday during their visit to Ashburton College.

It was taken by Ashburton College head of social science Peter Fougere.

It was the 17th time Tokoro-

zawa-Kita High School had sent students to visit the college.

They were accompanied by two teachers.

During their visit they stay with host families and join host buddies in class.

For Tokorozawa-Kita High School English teacher Atsushi Kikuchi it was his fifth visit.

He enjoyed visiting Ash-

burton and often looked at the Guardian online from Japan to check on things here, including the weather.

While students visited they had free-time with their individual host families but had planned group visits to Rosebank Retirement Village, Lincoln University, Hampstead School and some fun activities at Lake Tekapo.

The amount of money put into pokie machines outside of casinos is continuing to drop. Latest figures from the Department of Internal Affairs show pub and club gaming machine expenditure has dropped 2.5 per cent in the last year, from $826.3 million to $806.2 million. There are also fewer licence-holders, gambling venues and gaming machines. This year, licence-holders fell from 351 to 329, gambling venues declined from 1356 to 1321 and the number of gaming machines decreased from 17,534 to 17,130. Figures also showed that spending by pokie gamblers in pubs and clubs rose in the first and second quarters of 2014, from $192.8 million to $200.7 million.

Series of quakes A series of earthquakes shook the lower North Island yesterday morning. Three quakes in quick succession rocked Waipukurau in central Hawkes Bay shortly after midnight, while a separate quake shook close to Eketahuna a few hours later. The strongest of the earthquakes hit a magnitude of 4 around 5km northeast of Waipukurau at 12.15am. It was the second of three early morning quakes, rocking the town at 12.10am with a magnitude of 2.4, and 12.28am at 2.5 magnitude. All three struck at a depth of between 10km and 12km. Meanwhile, residents in Eketahuna also received a jolt to wake them up yesterday, with a 3.4 magnitude quake striking at 7.22am. - APNZ

■ AUCKLAND DISTRICT COURT

Gun dealer jailed for 6 years

By Patrice Dougan An unemployed Auckland man who purchased $50,000 worth of firearms then passed them to gang members and other criminals has been jailed for nearly six years.

Peter James Edwards purchased 72 rifles and shotguns in just 18 months, then modified the weapons by cutting down the barrel or stock and adding pistol grips and silencers.

The pistol-sized firearms, which are easily carried and concealed, are highly prized in the criminal fraternity and the

case has highlighted how easily guns can fall into the wrong hands.

Edwards, 58, was yesterday sentenced in the Auckland District Court after earlier pleading guilty to supplying firearms to unlicensed individuals, supplying a pistol and supplying methamphetamine.

The gravity of his offending was “extremely high”, Judge Nevin Dawson said.

“A large number of seriously dangerous weapons were supplied to Head Hunters gang members by you and they would have had them for devious purposes,” he said.

“The extent of harm from your offending is hard to assess but the risk to the community is very high.”

Edwards had sold methamphetamine to his daughter, starting on her 19th birthday, something Judge Dawson described as “thoroughly scurrilous behaviour” and an “abuse of trust”.

“Your excuse that you were helping her is simply outrageous.” Edwards’ offending was at the high end of the scale, Judge Dawson said, only giving a minimum reduction for an early guilty plea and calling his remorse “presen-

tence-induced”.

He sentenced Edwards to a total of five years and 10 months in prison.

His lawyer Graeme Newell said there had been a “limited degree of commerciality” in relation to the meth supply charge and his client had no relevant criminal history in New Zealand.

He also argued his client had recently gone through a knee replacement and a prison sentence could add “further hardship”.

Edwards has 53 previous convictions in Western Australia.

■ CAMERON COURTS

‘Temporary’ job lasts for 25 years

By Sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

What started out as a short term casual job that could be juggled around raising a family, 25 years later has become an important part of Chris McLaren’s life.

Yesterday with her workmates at Cameron Courts, Mrs McLaren celebrated that milestone admitting she’s done every job on staff – except cooking.

Initially she was an on-call casual doing whatever job turned up. She then ran the laundry for seven years before tackling possibly the hardest job in aged care, cleaning.

It’s a job some might hate, but Mrs McLaren said it’s a job she loves.

“In the early days they called and you came and did whatever needed to be done. I worked all shifts including night shift.”

Working with older people brings huge rewards and it doesn’t take much to bring a smile to their faces, she said.

For her, it has been a combination of enjoying interaction with residents and the staff she has worked with over the years that has kept her coming back.

“If you love your job you stay; if you don’t you move on,” she said.

Working in aged care is not always easy because of the attachments you form to long term residents, Mrs McLaren said.

While that brings many rewards it also has the down side of inevitable deaths.

“The hardest part is always when you come back after a weekend and find someone has died while you were away,” she said.

But the upside is knowing that each day when you go into a resident’s room a quick chat and a smile while she is working will brighten their day.

“They love to tell you little things about themselves and their lives and that’s always very special.”

Chris McLaren has just clocked up 25 years on staff at Cameron Courts.

■ AUTHOR TO VISIT COLLEGES

Murder victim’s mum to speak on dangers Year 11 and 12 students will have the chance to hear Sophie’s Legacy author Lesley Elliott speak next week when she visits. There will also be a public session but seats are limited.

Mrs Elliott witnessed the murder of her daughter Sophie, at the hands of Sophie’s ex-boyfriend Clayton Weath-

erston in 2008. Mrs Elliott went on to write a book about the experience.

She has since established the Sophie Elliott Foundation to change attitudes to domestic violence.

It was in the process of developing a school-based programme called Loves-Me-Not to help youth – and their par-

ents – recognise unhealthy relationships.

The visit was arranged by Zonta Club of Ashburton. It was a follow-up to the international Zonta says No campaign last year where 283 pairs of shoes – representing reported domestic violence incidences in Mid Canterbury between June 2011 and June 2012 – were

lined up in Ashburton’s central business district.

Mrs Elliott will speak to Year 12 and 13 students about healthy relationships and how to identify classic signs of abuse – especially in dating relationships.

She will be at Ashburton College on July 29 and Mt Hutt College on July 30.

■ PAPAMOA

Dog lost down hole A dog who spent 30 hours trapped down a cold, four metre-deep hole was joined down there by her owner’s cat.

Papamoa vet Brett Kirkland was taking his two dogs for a walk around 6am on Thursday when he noticed his 12-year-old Irish Setter, Saffron, had vanished.

“My other dog was eating something so I went over to her to get it off her and Saffy was behind me, then I turned around and Saffy was gone. She’s a bit old and dottery so I thought she might have wandered off.”

Mr Kirkland searched the neighbourhood and handed out fliers with his friends, then went to bed worried about his much loved pet.

The plot thickened when early yesterday morning he realised his cat Zippy hadn’t been home last night either.

It wasn’t until around 10am yesterday – 30 hours after Saffron disappeared – that he spotted the hole just five metres from his back fence.

“The number of times I would have passed that hole in the last 24 or 30 hours would be dozens.

“I saw a little break in the grass and there was an old septic tank that has reinforced concrete on top and that had fallen through, and I saw the black eye of my cat running around in there.”

“I think the cat went there looking for [Saffron].”

Mr Kirkland peered down, and as his eyes adjusted to the darkness he saw Saffron there too.

“She was trying to crawl up the sides so I could see she didn’t have any breaks or anything.”

Saffron doesn’t have a strong bark anymore, which may be why she couldn’t be heard from the bottom of the hole, he said.

“Me and a friend lowered a ladder down and I went down and got the cat. It was a 10 or 12 feet hole and there was no way I could carry my dog up.”

Mr Kirkland called the Fire Service and then waited down the hold with Saffron for half an hour until crews from Papamoa, Te Puke and Mount Maunganui arrived to help get the dog out safely with ropes.

“They were brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

“At the end I said do I owe you anything? And they said, ‘no it’s all part of the service.’ But I think I owe them some drinks.”

Mr Kirkland has owned Beach Road Vets in Papamoa for 17 years and lives above the practice.

His staff and the community were pleased to have Saffron back.

Below – Two Methven posties, Thelma Lock and Lyell Middleton, prepare to deliver the town’s mail in the big snow of 1945.

The Last Post Restaurant will this week commemorate 100 years since the town post office opened in the building. Susan Sandys reports.

Methven’s p

A

framed black and white photo revealed something surprising to the operators of Methven’s Last Post Restaurant.

Taking a close look at the picture, which has hung on the exterior of the building ever since it was converted into a restaurant 23 years ago, Jeff Nowell noticed a date – 1914.

In the photo, that year was on a sign above the building’s entrance, with the words “Methven Post and Telegraph Office”. Mr

Nowell said he had gone outside to look at the picture after someone mentioned it was 25 years this year since the post office closed down.

“That got us thinking,” Mr Nowell said.

So not only was it 25 years since Methven’s stand-alone post office closed, but, as the photo showed, it was 100 years since it first opened in that building in the town.

He and business partner Earl Romero decided celebrations

post office ‘celebrates’ its 100th were in order, and tomorrow they will host a special dinner for former workers of the post office.

Among them will be one of the last post masters, Neil Owen of Methven.

Mr Owen worked there for 25 years, beginning as a post boy. He became a telegraph boy, then worked on the telephone exchange in the building, then the front counter, before becoming manager.

He said mail would come into

the town via train, before the town’s railway station closed down.

The telephone exchange would operate 24/7, with the night shifts being 7pm to midnight and then midnight to 7am.

He said working at the telephone exchange had really been the “good old days” when those who operated it knew everyone in town. Exchange operators had to speak to everyone calling residents in the town, and everyone calling out.

The exchange was where the Last Post bar is now. Exchange operators would watch the shutters on each number, and when one fell down, they would plug in and ask “Number please?”

But conversation would often develop, as the exchange operators knew everyone in town, and they knew them.

“You used to know what was going on, who was ringing who,” Mr Owen said.

“You knew everybody’s number, where they lived, back then.”

But as much as the exchange may well have been a vast wealth of common knowledge and town gossip, exchange operators were, of course, professionals.

“It would cost you your job if you got caught listening in,” Mr Owen said.

Town residents could however share conversations with “party lines”. Everyone on the number 73 for instance would be on the same line, but the person with the phone number 73K would know to only pick up the phone

if the ringing beeps were “short long short”. At 73A their signal was “short short long”.

Mr Owen was himself on a party line.

“You could be talking away and the next thing the neighbour’s kids pick up the phone and start yaking,” he said.

There was a radio telephone in a separate room at the post office.

Here the town grocer would pick up weekly orders from Rakaia Gorge high country farmers. continued over page

from previous page The grocer would fill the orders and they would be trucked up the gorge.

Methven resident Angela Grieve, whose father-in-law Bill Grieve was one of many locals employed at the exchange over the years, said she remembered walking past there in the 1960s.

“I remember when I was a kid in the 60s they would have those windows up if it was a hot day, and they would talk to everyone who was going past,” Mrs Grieve said.

The former post office was turned into a restaurant by its first operators, Jeff Holzer and his partner Jude. They retained many of its old features. It still has the original safe and its two fireplaces, also believed to be original. Old post box keys still today hang in the safe, which is now a wine cellar.

“We have people visit and say I remember I used to be post box number such and such. If their key is there we give them the key,” Mr Nowell said.

The Unto The Hills book on Methven’s history says the town post office opened in the building in 1914, with Mr H G Hunt as postmaster. Residential quarters were included in the building.

As well as the function tomorrow night, Mr Nowell and Mr

■ MOVIE – EVERYTHING WE LOVED

Premiere online and on screen

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Cantabrians can attend the premiere of New Zealand arthouse film Everything We Loved this coming Monday, without even leaving their living rooms.

But the initiative has received a mixed reaction from Mid Canterbury film lovers.

The psychological suspense film is to open at Auckland and Wellington theatres, screening at 8.15pm.

Director Max Currie said, in what will be a first for an arthouse film in New Zealand, the movie will screen online at the same time, making it accessible to New Zealanders in locations around the country.

“For any cinema lovers in regional New Zealand, it’s a pioneering first,” Mr Currie said.

And prior to the movie there would be a live web stream from the red carpet, hosted by Hugh Sunday, featuring interviews with the cast and producers,

Actors Sia Trokenheim plays Angela Shepherd, who is married to Charlie Shepherd, played by Brett Stewart, in Everything We Loved.

while following it there would be a live question and answer session in which web viewers could participate. Viewers can even enter the red carpet bestdressed competition by taking a

“Making dramatic art available and accessible to a greater audience has to be a good thing, but I think it sounds lonely.”

“I think art should bring us together and there should be a shared sense of audience – literally rather than virtually.”

Ashburton Art Gallery curator Shirin Khosraviani said she was excited to see the film after reading about it, and it had seemed like the project “was a true labour of love”.

She said it could be “heartbreaking” for film makers not to be able to share their work throughout the country. The in-home premier idea would gain traction, but the quality of viewing would unfortunately depend on streaming quality.

■ BOARD OF INQUIRY

‘Holiday highway’ gets go-ahead A Board of Inquiry has granted consent for the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway north of Auckland, known as the “holiday highway”.

The New Zealand Transport Agency acting highway manager Steve Mutton said the draft decision from the Board of Inquiry was welcomed by NZTA. “The draft decision is great news and an exciting and important step towards improving transport connections between Auckland and Northland and the rest of the upper North Island,” Mr Mutton said.

The first stage of the project involves constructing a 18.5km four-lane motorway from the Johnstone’s Hill tunnels on State Highway 1 north of Auckland to a roundabout north of Warkworth.

Ramps to and from Auckland are planned near Puhoi.

NZTA will provide feedback to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) within

20-working days. Construction could start between 2016 and 2019, subject to the Board’s final decision in September, Mr Mutton said.

It is estimated the motorway will take five years to build.

“While it’s important to remember that the final decision is yet to be made, we are encouraged by the draft decision, which has followed an extremely rigorous fact-finding process,” Mr Mutton said.

“Whangarei to Auckland is one of New Zealand’s key transport routes, and investigations on how to continue improving and securing this corridor are ongoing, including for the Wellsford to Warkworth section.”

The $760 million extension is the first half of the Ara Tuhono Puhoi to Wellsford Road of National Significance. The Government had flagged the motorway as a vital freight and tourism link with Northland.

NZ wine sales in UK second only to France higher than all other wines in the UK and its popularity showed it was seen as being consistently of a high quality, Mr Yorke said.

“I think customers trust that they’ll get a good wine if they see a New Zealand wine.”

New Zealand’s annual wine exports reached a record high earlier this year and now stood at $1.33 billion - up 10 per cent for the year ended June 2014.

Stash the cash, says advisor W

hether you’re 16 or 60, every little bit you can stash away for your retirement will help you to live rather than merely exist in your non-working years, financial advisor Martin Hawes says.

But stashing the cash against the future is not something Kiwis are good at, he said.

“Young people don’t think they’re going to get old so they don’t plan and too many people are getting to 60 with nothing other than a mortgage-free house.”

But all is not lost even if you’re a 60 something, and there’s very little in the bank.

The money won’t magically appear, but there are still steps you can take to make sure there is a little in reserve when you sign off from the workforce, Mr Hawes said.

“If you’re 60 then you need to spend the next five to seven years putting some money away.

Even a very small amount of capital will make a big difference to your life in retirement.”

Cash poor older New Zealanders still had options when it came to ensuring the words poverty and retirement weren’t inextricably linked, he said.

“If you just have your freehold house then you can downsize. The best way to think of this is that for every $100,000 off the value of your home, it will be worth $4000 a year to you in income. Another option

Martin Hawes is a financial author, seminar presenter and a financial advisor. This week he ran a seminar for Heartland Bank in Ashburton on making the most of your retirement years and talked to reporter Sue Newman. is to use the home equity release scheme that allows you to draw a certain amount of money on your home.”

And the other option was to keep working. “People are working a lot longer now, 68-69 seems to be the average retirement age. A survey in the States showed that 37 per cent of 45-60-year-olds expected to work until they died.”

“

ment, but the simple formula was to understand that for every $100,000 you invested you were likely to receive $4000 in the hand as a return. The multiples of this that were needed varied from individual to individual, Mr Hawes said.

For younger people ditching their mortgage was number one.

With that gone, however, planning for the future meant con-

to ensure they built their own financial strategy and retained some financial independence – “a man is not a financial plan”.

How you invest would vary with where you were at in life – it could be shares, unit trusts or a little in term deposits to ensure ready cash in an emergency. Term deposits were not a long-term option because of the lower returns, he said.

... too many people are getting to 60 with nothing other than a mortgage-free house

The picture in Ashburton would be little different, but work as you aged did not necessarily mean 40 hours a week, he said.

“It’s about finding work you want to do, work you can do.

One of the hardest things you can do is go from receiving a pay cheque every second Thursday to having to use any money you’ve accumulated to provide an income.”

There was no one answer to the amount of money an individual would need in retire-

tinuing to commit the mortgage payment to a savings fund.

There were also many New Zealanders whose chances of a financially comfortable retirement had been hampered by divorce, with women hardest hit, Mr Hawes said.

“Divorce has created a whole generation of New Zealanders who are not well off. It’s hard to recover from this and statistics show that women do less well than men.”

He sounded a word of caution for women in relationships

It was important to have some of your portfolio off-shore, but said that right now he would skip residential property.

“New Zealand is a brittle economy based on agriculture and tourism and Ashburton is so typical of this. And I’m very wary of people investing in housing, in residential property, at the moment. There has been a great run for this but at the moment the market is over valued.”

Kiwis were a funny lot when it came to taking advice on what to do with their money, he said.

While they were happy to ask advice on just about any other subject, when it came to investments there was an element of assuming they knew the answers, Mr Hawes said.

“They know about term deposits and they know about property so by default they seem to go into these areas.”

He accepts that a few dodgy characters in the financial planning industry had investors running scared, but said the industry had changed. Tough new rules came into effect in 2011 that offered much greater protection to clients, he said.

In his private life he says he walks the talk with his own finances.

For him investment is not about numbers, it’s about people and helping people build a financial plan. That’s a creative rather than a black and white process, he said.

Financial planning was about attitude more than knowledge, about habits and behaviours, about not just creating a plan but committing to that plan, Mr Hawes said.

“My belief is that money is not important, life is important, but money is the resource you need to live your life.”

Disappointing start for Silver Ferns

By DaviD Leggat Silver Ferns coach Wai Taumaunu was far from impressed with her team’s firstup Commonwealth Games performance.

The double defending champions edged past rapidly-improving Malawi 50-47 last night in a shaky opener to their title defence.

Taumanu made several changes at halftime, and expected her players would pull clear but it didn’t happen.

Indeed at 39-all with 10 and a half minutes left, all the ingredients were there for a massive boilover.

Instead the Silver Ferns made a fivegoal run which was enough to give them a small cushion. ‘’I was disappointed,” Taumaunu said. ‘’I thought there were too many errors, and was disappointed in the number of offensive penalties. Those are things we need to tidy up.”

World No 5 Malawi had the outstand-

ing figure on court in the Tactix goal shoot Mwai Kumwenda, who was largely responsible for Malawi making 47 of their 51 shots at goal, compared to New Zealand’s disappointing 50 from 60.

“I thought Malawi were impressive yesterday against Northern Ireland and we are pleased to be through that,” Taumaunu said.

Captain Casey Kopua sat out the first half and defender Katrina Grant was playing her 50th international.

Asked what she liked about New Zealand’s performance, Taumaunu took a long pause, then: ‘’There was pressure and we did come through it. I think we put ourselves under it, but we pulled out. ‘’The occasion got to them a little bit.

There was excitement which turned into nerves.”

Blood-free best for Kiwi boxer

By DaviD Leggat Heard the one about the boxer who doesn’t like blood on her?

New Zealand’s most experienced woman boxer, Alexis Pritchard, made the admission while discussing the Commonwealth Games rule on headgear.

That specifies there will be none in the men’s competition, but the women will wear it.

That’s just fine by Pritchard, the London Olympian who will

go into the 60kg division ranked second in the Commonwealth.

“I’d prefer having headgear because I don’t like the cuts. I don’t like their blood on me,” she laughed.

Pritchard is less happy about the lack of seeding for the event.

The fighter ranked ahead of her, England’s Natasha Jonas at 30 the same age as Pritchard is a fine boxer who finished fifth in the London Olympics.

Pritchard and Jonas were up

in the same session in London.

Pritchard lost in a quarter-final to Russian Sofya Ochigava and Jonas went down to Northern Ireland’s Katie Taylor.

Pritchard figures she’s not had the rub of the green in most of her major international tournaments. She reckons she’s due.

Certainly it seems lunacy to possibly have the No1 and No2 ranked boxers drawn together in the opening round - in their case on Tuesday night (NZT).

“I’m hoping it doesn’t happen.

I’d like to get a warm up fight.

I’m hoping this will be the one when I get a bunny somewhere.”

Pritchard and Jonas have sparred at a training camp in Sheffield before coming to Glasgow. Jonas won their one official bout, in Liverpool, Jonas’ home town, this year.

“I know I am as good as Natasha and know I could be better than her,” Pritchard said.

“It’s really just what happens

on the day, but if I get it all firing at the right time I feel I can overcome her.

“We’ve had some epic sparring sessions in Sheffield. It’s going to be a battle of wills.”

So are they friends?

“I don’t think I’d say that but we say hi and bye and thank you for sparring.”

Pritchard is the first New Zealander to have won an Olympic women’s bout. She is ranked eighth in the world.

Think twice before tweeting, athletes warned

By Kris shannon Don’t expect any Kiwi athletes to become embroiled in social media scandals during the Commonwealth Games.

The New Zealand Olympic Committee has done its utmost to avoid that, sending every member of the team a 14-page document outlining the behaviour expected of them in cyberspace.

Put simply, the aim of the NZOC is to inspire Kiwis and enable the country’s athletes to achieve on the world stage, and social media “can both abet and hinder” that goal.

It’s the hinderance aspect of tools like Twitter that causes the most concern, especially in the wake of the team’s previous meeting.

The NZOC is right to be wary

after a couple of incidents at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, with Rebecca Torr’s escapades on dating application Tinder attracting negative, if unintended, attention.

And, according to NZOC media manager Ashley Abbot, that was one of the main themes of the guide emailed to athletes before the Glasgow Games - showing respect for themselves, their team and their country.

“Because social media’s growing so fast, and we estimate we have 70 per cent of our team using social media, we think it’s really important that we’re clear about what’s a good idea and what’s not a good idea,” she said.

“Especially for the less highprofile athletes, they may not realise the interest in them and the type of thing that a normal person might be able to get

While some of those instances are obvious - a certain All Black’s selfie and a Warrior’s home movie spring to mind - others follow in the vain of Michael Jordan’s famous axiom about discussing politics: Republicans buy shoes, too.

Engage in harassment or make any sexist or racist remarks.

Say anything that you wouldn’t say if you were speaking in public.

Get sued. Under UK law you will be liable for anything you say that could be considered defamatory or obscene.

Under a heading titled Be Aware, athletes are instructed to avoid “demonstrations of a political, religious or social propaganda that many draw unwanted attention”, and “entering into conversations that could implicate you with an issue or negative situation”.

If that sounds tantamount to a gagging order, the guide does explain the benefits of such an

approach. As well as a chance to conclude the games with their reputations intact, athletes are told they can improve their brand, attract potential sponsors and enhance job prospects for life after sport.

Failing to follow the guidelines, on the other hand, cannot only harm their own reputation but damage that of those who have worn the silver fern at previous games, as well as those who will follow in their footsteps.

New Zealand sport has yet to truly experience the full force of a social media storm - the type of homophobic or racial rant that invariably leads to an athlete claiming their Twitter account was hacked - and, by the looks of the guide, the NZOC is intent on keeping it that way.

In brief

Royal invitation for Sevens star DJ Forbes is not short of crowning moments in his illustrious sevens career but lunch with the Queen will surely be right up there for the New Zealand skipper.

The 31-year-old did not even have time to change out of his dress shirt as he arrived for yesterday’s press conference in Glasgow; standing out like a sore thumb among his dresseddown colleagues.

But Forbes savoured the occasion and - with New Zealand bidding for a fifth consecutive gold at Ibrox Stadium this weekend - he will now turn his focus to a different kind of crown at the home of Rangers Football Club.

“I’m not sure how I got nominated, but to be amongst the Queen with some of the other athletes was special,” said Forbes.

“I met Kate and Wills earlier in the year and meeting the family has been pretty good.

My etiquette was on point; I made sure I was sitting properly.

“There wasn’t too much meet and greet. She was ushered into the dining hall and the athletes got a chance to take a few photos. We were pretty reserved and made sure we didn’t offend her in anyway. “ Forbes is building up an illustrious list of regal acquaintances. The royal family are ardent followers of rugby and there

will be no shortage of interest in this weekend’s competition.

If New Zealand they are going to continue their record at the Commonwealth Games, then they must overcome Canada, Scotland and Barbados in the pool stages.

South Africa, who finished

second in the World Series, will provide the biggest challenge in the latter stages, but they are likely to be without Springboks winger Bryan Habana.

The Toulon star missed the cut-off date to be named in South Africa’s 12-man squad, but he has been placed on

standby in case of any injuries.

Forbes, however, is not concerned about a possible face-off with the XVs star.

“Everyone knows the game is changing,” said Forbes. “No disrespect to Habana, but I think he knows the pressure that comes with jumping across to the seven-man code, where the skillsets and the demands are extremely different.

“He could lift the team morale. But the coach will know that, to be good at sevens, you’ve got to be playing for a bit longer than a week. If they do go ahead with him then so be it, we will see it as an opportunity to test ourselves against one of the best wingers in the world.”

New Zealand are unbeaten in 25 games in Commonwealth competition. Forbes was part of the victorious team at Delhi 2010 and - after a week-long camp in Holland - he is satisfied with preparations for this year’s event.

“The camp was top notch,” he said. “The club we trained at are like a New Zealand rugby club, in terms of the support that turned out for us. We played a local Dutch side and I think 5000 plus turned out to our training venue. The facilities were great, the food was good, and our hotel was right on the beach, which was good for recovery.”

Relaxed Walsh ready for action

By DaviD Leggat If Tom Walsh has any pressing concerns right now, they’re not showing.

The big man from Timaru, among the big chances to win shot put gold at the Commonwealth Games track and field competition, seems among the more relaxed souls around the Games village.

He was full of quips, grins and bonhomie as he talked ahead of his event, which culminates in the final early on Tuesday (NZ time). Then again, life is pretty good right now.

Since stunning the sport with a bronze at the world indoor championships in Sopot, Poland in March, life seems to have been a merry old ride for the 22-year-old.

He’s up to sixth in the world, top in the Commonwealth.

This month, in a high-calibre field, Walsh threw 21.23m

to finish third in the Diamond League event at Hampden Park. It was his longest outdoor throw, 3cm off his indoor best in Sopot. For comparison, double Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski was fifth.

“I’m feeling pretty comfortable the way training has been going and I’m pretty confident as well,” he said.

Hampden Park is “an awesome facility” and Walsh hopes that experience might give him a small edge in what’s shaping as a top contest.

“I’d say 21m-plus would throw you in the mix for sure.

“But then again it can rain in Glasgow, so that could possibly bring it down a bit. But that would give you a decent chance of a medal.”

Canadian heavy hitter Dylan Armstrong is injured, but two others, Jamaican O’Dayne Richards, is 16th, and Canadian Tim Nedow 19th. Walsh is ex-

Ashburton Guardian 21

pecting a decent tussle.

Walsh admits he was a bit twitchy a few weeks ago, but his technique is coming together nicely and he’s pleasantly surprised at his lead-up work for Glasgow.

He quipped that the problem was possibly not working. He’s a builder and hasn’t been on a site since late May. Walsh has no plans to change his way of life, which includes plenty of time away from the sport with hammer in hand.

“Working is a bonus and it takes my mind off it. It’s good for me, keeps me level-headed and the boys definitely know

how to pop my head if I’m getting too big for my boots.

“For example, I missed out on the world champs last year by 1cm and everything [at work] was ‘oh Tommy that’s 1cm too long’.

“It’s good for me so I will keep doing that as long as I can.”

Talking of the opposition inevitably raises the Jacko Gill question. The North Shore 19-year-old is rarely seen and only his closest confidantes really know how he’s tracking.

“You never know what he’s going to do,” Walsh said. The pair get on fine but they’re not tight, which is no surprise given their geographic differences for a start. Plus Walsh is out and about in competition; Gill very selective.

Cricket and rugby were ahead of the shot for Gill when he was at school. “I never thought I’d be a shot putter, that’s for sure.”

I’d love to see him stay from a selfish point of view.”

Twelve months ago, Rakaia ground out a 13-9 win over Methven to take the Watters Cup. The river men face the mountain men once again for Mid Canterbury rugby supremacy today - with another big battle expected to go down to the wire.

Earlier this season they met in the opening round of the Combined Country Cup competition, playing out a 17-all draw in Rakaia, the only time Rakaia hasn’t walked off winners in the rivalry since losing to Methven in the 2011 semifinals.

The two sides went as

far as the semi-finals of the Combined Country Cup but both were knocked out before Rakaia took out the third place playoff 20-9, also in Rakaia.

The blue brigade will start as heavy favourites, but they know it will take an 80-minute effort to go back-to-back.

In recent history, the Watters Cup final has been a low scoring arm-wrestle, where goal kicking has been a key contributor to success or failure.

But as both sides are well aware, it all starts up front.

“You’ve got to win up front first and go from there,” said Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft.

“When opportunities arrive you have to take them. If you

don’t take them in finals you miss out. You don’t get a second chance.”

Rakaia have been able to call on Crusaders prop Tim Perry, who will square off with his former Tasman Mako teammate Gary Redmond - with the Methven flanker returning from injury for last week’s semi-final after dislocating his elbow in May. They will both be amongst the big battle fought in the forwards and if it is a war of attrition Methven have plenty of fresh legs to call on with six forwards on their seven-man bench.

“It’s going to be won up front and we expect a big forward battle which is why we

leaned towards the forwardheavy bench,” Methven coach Dale Palmer said.

There was no room for Simon Fleetwood, who returned from getting married in Scotland midweek, and Richard Catherwood was ruled out with hamstring injury.

Methven know they can ill afford to give Rakaia a head start – as they did in last year’s final and the other four games over the past two seasons.

“We must start well. We need to set a good platform early on that we can build from because we don’t want to be forced to play catch-up.”

Having been down 13-0 at halftime, Methven’s forward pack sparked a 20-13 come-

back win over Celtic in 2012 but couldn’t repeat the feat against Rakaia last year, unable to come back from 10-0 down as Rakaia held their line at the death for the four point win.

Mistakes and penalties will be crucial to the outcome and in a positive move referee Kevin Opele attended a training with both sides in the lead up to the finals to go over the break area ahead of the game, so that the players have every chance to determine the result and not the whistle.

However, as recent history has shown defence and goal kicking go a long way to deciding who will lift the cup come the final whistle.

Colourful Flynn prepares for f Corey Flynn’s journey to tonight’s semifinal, his 150th match for the Crusaders and a clash against Bismarck du Plessis, considered the best hooker in the world, has been a long and often painful one.

There have been the broken arms - five in total. He has broken his left arm four times and his right arm once, misfortune which would have forced many to think about packing it in. Not him, though. He has been in and out

of the All Blacks, painful in itself, which he believes his many injuries have given him the mental strength to handle. And there is the school of hard knocks, which the now 33-year-old encountered during his introduction to the game in Southland before he made his way north to Christchurch.

All things considered, Flynn, who will leave the Crusaders for Toulouse in France at the end of the season, has had a colourful ca-

reer. He isn’t one to get ahead of himself, which is why this week he was wary about talking up the Crusaders’ chances against the Sharks in Christchurch tonight, saying simply the team had prepared well over the past fortnight and it was now up to them to get the job done in order to make their first Super Rugby final since 2011.

He was, however, in the mood for some reflection, including his arrival at the Crusaders in 2002,

Cup briefs

METHVEN

■

Heading into today’s final Methven has won the Watters Cup 18 times and Rakaia 16 times. The trophy was first played for in 1927 and Methven’s first win was in 1930 followed by Rakaia’s first win in 1931.

■

Rakaia won the trophy four years in a row from 1976, sharing the cup with Mayfield in in 1979, but and then had a 32 year wait for their next win in 2011 over Southern.

■

After also sharing the cup with Mayfield in 1983, Methven had a similar 25-year wait until beating Southern in 2008.

■

Both sides only had to wait one year before lifting the cup again with Methven in 2010, and 2012, and Rakaia last year.

■

Looking for a Watters Cup win with his second team is Rakaia first five Nathan Fridd.

His last Watters Cup win was in 2006 with Southern when they shared the trophy with Celtic in following a 12-all draw.

■

The same is true for hooker Jon Sharpe and his last season in Mid Canterbury which ended with a Watters Cup win with Collegiate in 2002.

■

Sharpe’s teammate at the Stoke Rugby Club in Nelson and a Methven returnee this season, Brenton Connell, also netted a Watters Cup win in his previous season - when Methven beat Southern in 2008.

■

The same two teams will play in the final but only half the same people. From last year’s final Methven has returned with five starters in the run on 15 again – and 11 players back from last year’s 22, compared to six starters and 10 from Rakaia’s winning squad.

final hurrah with Crusaders his respect for his rival du Plessis, and the things he will miss most in Christchurch.

Asked if after the fifth broken arm he might have considered a new career path, he replied: “Never. You wonder why injuries are happening but it allows you to get a bit of mental resolve and I think it’s been the making of me in terms of being able to handle injuries or non-selection or stuff like that.

“It gives you the resolve to keep

boxing on. I think it’s completely the other way, I never had those thoughts. We’re pretty lucky to be doing what we’re doing.”

Flynn arrived in Christchurch as a 21-year-old not quite sure what to expect after representing Southland for two years. They did things the old-fashioned way in Invercargill in those days young players were forced to scrap for everything - so his arrival at Crusaders’ HQ was eyeopening on several levels as front

rowers Greg Somerville, Greg Feek, Mark Hammett and Dave Hewett took him under their collective wing.

“As soon as I came to the Crusaders I actually found it quite unsettling in terms of how much they were prepared to help me. I had come from an environment where you learn by getting a hiding and then all of a sudden I was then given all this knowledge ...

I was like ‘what’s the story here, what’s the catch?’. It’s always

been like that since I’ve been here.”

Flynn’s experience is probably the main reason he has been given the starting hooker’s role against the Sharks and he has nothing but respect for 30-yearold du Plessis.

One of things he will miss when he leaves for France, and with the competition starting in mid-August, Toulouse want him there asap, is an annual “spud competition” which has been a

tradition for the past five years or so for Flynn and several of his mates, including teammate Dan Carter.

Crusaders team to play the Sharks at AMI Stadium tonight, kick-off 7.35pm is: Israel Dagg, Kieron Fonotia, Ryan Crotty, Dan Carter, Nemani Nadolo, Colin Slade, Andy Ellis, Kieran Read (c), Matt Todd, Richie McCaw, Sam Whitelock, Dominic Bird, Owen Franks, Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett.

Renee ready for German mission

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mayfield’s Renee Olley has completed her eight-week training block at Lake Karapiro and departs for Germany on Monday for the Junior World Rowing Championships.

Olley and the New Zealand junior team will compete in the championships in Hamburg, Germany from August 6-10 and then for Olley and four others it is on to Nanjing, China, to compete in the Youth Olympics.

For the past two months she has been based at Cambridge, putting in the preparation for her international racing debut.

“It’s a pretty awesome programme they’ve got going here so it has been hard,” Olley said.

“The weather’s been a bit windy and wet, but you just train through it.”

The build-up is all done and the only thing left to do is race.

Olley isn’t worried about what they are up against – just how her crew performs.

“It’s whoever brings it out on the day and we want to go out and give it our best race in the heat and go from there.

“We can only control what is happening in our boat so we’ll just focus on that.”

At the Junior Worlds she is in the women’s coxless four with Ella Pudney (Chilton St James), Beth Ross (Chilton St James) and Jackie Gowler (Nga Tawa Diocesan School), and then will adjust to competing in the pair with Gowler for the youth Olympics in China.

She will return from her double shot of international racing at the end of August and will have to get straight back into some important school work in her final year at Craighead.

She has, however, been get-

ting some school work done in amongst the intense training programme.

“It’s just another thing you have to adjust to.

“For a while we were attending St Peters but not going into the classes. We were just there on the school grounds so we had access to teachers if we needed them.

“I guess you can’t afford to fall behind the eight-ball too much but I should be alright. I’ll see what’s like when I get back to [Craighead].

She hasn’t been “at home” since June 7 and when she gets back it could potentially be with two medals in tow from the two championships.

The same two regattas, but at different venues, that fellow Mayfield rower Emma Dyke competed in last year.

Dyke is currently in Varese, Italy where she will contest a final at the World under 23 Championships.

Emma Dyke’s women’s four took out the repechage yesterday morning to advance to tonight’s final.

The New Zealand women’s four had finished fourth in their heat and needed to finish in the top two of their five boat repechage to progress to the final and they did so in style leading right from the outset.

They pressed out of the start to gain the lead and from there sat out in front of the field gradually increasing their lead and eventually finishing three seconds ahead of second placed Ukraine, in a time of 7:23.330.

Rodriguez eager for more premier league action

By DanieL RichaRDson When Alex Rodriguez was on the books of English Premier League side Sunderland, he would have envisaged lining up against the likes of West Ham United and Newcastle.

But the new Phoenix midfielder, who could only crack the reserves and Sunderland’s under-21 side before transferring to Wellington, had to travel half a world away to make his first appearance against such opposition.

Rodriguez, previously known as Alejandro Gorrin on his arrival to the capital, announced

himself to the Phoenix faithful with a well-placed goal at Eden Park on Wednesday as Wellington toppled West Ham 2-1.

The win will long be talked about as part of Phoenix folklore and the club could add to that when they meet Newcastle United at Westpac Stadium in Wellington today.

“It was a great debut but that’s in the past,” Rodriguez said. “I just need to look forward to the next game and hopefully it’ll be a good one.”

The 20-year-old provides Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick with various options in the midfield and has already formed a

bond with fellow Spaniard Albert Riera, who was impressive again for Wellington on Wednesday night.

“He’s a nice guy and so easy to get along with,” Rodriguez said of his midfield mate. “It’s just the same on the pitch.”

Newcastle opened this week’s Football United Tour with a 4-0 victory over Sydney FC in Dunedin on Tuesday as the heavyweights flexed their muscles.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew saw the Phoenix’s tough-tackling approach on Wednesday and said he may have a word with Merrick and the officials ahead of today’s game to

help keep a lid on things.

“I’m sure it’ll be competitive,” Pardew said. “I know there were a couple of challenges [against West Ham] that were probably not suitable for pre-season, so hopefully we don’t see those.”

Merrick confirmed he would likely employ most of the same starting XI that beat West Ham for today’s game, which gives the uncontracted Tom Doyle another opportunity to prove he is worthy of a full-time deal after impressing at left back on Wednesday night.

All Whites midfielder Michael McGlinchey wasn’t expected to be available as no ruling had

emerged from his ongoing contract saga.

As part of today’s doubleheader, West Ham play Sydney FC before the Phoenix meet Newcastle with a huge crowd expected at Westpac Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix confirmed yesterday they have signed versatile Dutch utility Roly Bonevacia on a two-year contract. “This is exactly what we wanted,” Merrick said. “We wanted a defensive player who was comfortable in the midfield, at centre back when we lose players to the All Whites and a fullback when we need him to fill in.”

Late burst pays dividends Keepa Tramp with Terry Moseley in the saddle in a late burst of speed, managed to mow down the field in the RD Petroleum Winter Cup trial at yesterday’s Ashburton races.

The five-year-old gelding, trained at Riccarton Park by Sandy Cunningham was well down in the punters’ list of favourites at the race start, but stormed home to deprive Absolut

Excelencia and Jamie Bates of the top stake money. Red Magic and Rosie Myers finished in third.

Local horse Dr Dee Bee trained by Jan Hay led from the gate with Halo

Buster tucked in the trail. The pursuer issued a challenge at 400 metres and the pace cranked up as late runners Keepa Tramp and Absolut Excelencia showed their colours.

■ MARKET DEBUT

Kiwi gets top US job

First trades made in Scales

People make the difference A ttracting and retaining your talented and skilled employees is one of the most important challenges faced in today’s business world.

In Mid Canterbury, strong growth in the agri-sector and manufacturing, combined with the construction boom in Christchurch has placed additional strain on local businesses’ ability to keep staff.

There is a lot of natural cross-over in skill sets giving workers more opportunities to move between positions and shop around for a better deal.

In such a competitive market it is also important to remain focused on retaining management and leadership staff.

In order to be successful, more value must be given to your people.

The more successful companies are those who develop more efficient ways of utilising and looking after their workforce.

Obviously, in order for your wider goals to be achieved,

Matt Hannah

BUSINESS MATTERS

your vision and values need to be represented by behaviours that are readily adopted by all your staff.

Human Resources often finds itself lagging behind the rest of the organisation in actively increasing productivity, service and reducing costs.

No business plan, no matter how well developed, will have an impact unless you have people with the right skills and behaviours, in the right positions and who are motivated in the right way.

The job doesn’t stop with recruiting the right people.

For your business to create a competitive advantage and give yourself the best chance of keeping your talented staff, you need to consider a number of

factors including non-tangible reward systems, organisational structure, employee engagement and business culture.

A safe working environment is a given. You should also ensure your employees’ emotional needs are being met.

If you are losing staff, resist the temptation to throw money at the problem that may require a new solution. Staff want to feel included, empowered, and have the ability to grow.

Ensure you invest in training, include them when making key decisions and have clear career pathways in your business.

It is also important to engage with staff to monitor performance and progress.

High-performing companies understand this, and they build a people strategy which looks to support their overall plan for growth and drive their business forward.

evated from chief executive of the company’s China business.

Simon, 54, had been a contender to be chief executive of the whole company before Walmart picked Doug McMillon as its next leader. McMillon, who took the top job in February, was closer to the Walton family, which controls most of Walmart’s shares, people familiar with the situation have said.

Greg Foran

Simon will remain available as a consultant for the next six months to help with the transition, Walmart said.

In taking over the US division, Foran will oversee a much larger piece of the business _ though one that’s contending with sluggish growth. The US performance contributed to lower-than-projected sales and profit in Walmart’s most recently reported quarter, which ended April 30. At the time, Walmart also forecast secondquarter profit that missed estimates. Earnings will be $1.15 to $1.25 a share, compared with the $1.28 predicted by analysts, Bloomberg reported.

Foran has 30 years of retail experience in operations, merchandising and marketing. He previously headed Woolworth’s supermarket division and held other senior roles at the Sydney-based company, including general manager of the Big W chain of discount stores.

The final pricing of the offer came in at the bottom end of an indicative $1.60 to $1.85 range following a bookbuild process. There was strong “push back” on pricing amid investor concerns about private equity sell-downs that also saw the offer for glass supplier Metro Performance Glass come in at the low end of its indicative range and the IPO for equipment rental firm Hirepool scrapped.

The offer raised $148 million, $30 million of which was new capital that will be used to pay down debt.

Walmart Stores, the world’s biggest retail chain, said yesterday it had named ex-pat New Zealander Greg Foran as chief executive officer of its US division.

Foran, who began his career packing supermarket shelves in Hamilton in the ‘70s, was one of two men Warehouse founder Stephen Tindall hand-picked back in the ‘90s to be his potential successor.

It is understood his annual salary will be $US950,000 and is in line for company stock options based on performance, Bloomberg News reported.

Foran is the father of Kiwi Rugby League star Kieran, who plays for the Manly Sea Eagles in the Australasian National Rugby League competition.

Foran, 53, will replace Bill Simon in the US chief executive job starting August 9, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company said in a statement.

OUR VIEW

As clear as mud?

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

T

he release of national standards information about our schools has been likened to comparing apples with fruit salad.

Wading through the data this week, many Ashburton District parents – and educators – may have been even less flattering.

For some of us, the Education Ministry’s hard-to-grasp expression of our region’s education profile did not provide much of a comparison at all.

The colourful and very visual profile compared attainment last year with 2012. It was published, with those of all other regions, on the ministry’s website this week.

It should be acknowledged this was a broad-brush snapshot and was not pitched as a deep analysis of the health of our district’s education.

But, just as annual school attainment details are devoured by parents, it is fair to assume this snapshot would generate some interest.

Overall, it suggested primary school level attainment in reading, writing and maths had slipped in our district.

The drops were not significant – slightly more than 3 per cent at most – but they left the district some way from having 85 per cent of students meet standards by 2017. Was this something parents should worry about? Maybe it was, maybe it was not – it was difficult to draw conclusions on just two years’ data.

This point was not lost on Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Chris Murphy, who said the release was akin to comparing apples with a fruit salad.

What was missing was context, or enough information for parents to understand whether this was a worrying trend.

It turns out the drops of last year followed the improvements of the year before. But that was not included in the new release.

Mr Murphy said the percentages were influenced by hundreds of new students entering our district’s schools – and any change was off a small base.

This might seem insignificant compared to the other ways parents have to measure the success of their children. But, if this and other regional snapshots were enough for Education Minister Hekia Parata to say national attainment is improving, parents should expect more.

YOUR VIEW Story choice On Thursday, Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee deliberately bypassed airport security and, along with two of his staff, boarded a plane, via an exit door.

The Press ran this as the headline story on Friday and it was the lead item on Television One’s Thursday evening news.

So why did The Guardian bury the story on page 6, in the “in brief ” column.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that Ashburton is a “blue ribbon” National-loving town?

Simon Blissett The Editor responds: No. It has much more to do with the Guardian, when compared to other media, giving preference to local news stories that have a direct impact on local people.

On socks and togs ...

M

um recently came down from Auckland for a winter holiday, suitcase of thermals in tow.

Following her frigid experience over Christmas and having equated pictures of the skifield with our backyard, she was prepared for a real polar blast. There were skivvies and long johns galore, gloves, slippers and a possum hat – and one pair of socks.

Small and unassuming, those monogamous stalwarts of the wardrobe are often overlooked. Not to worry, a visit to the store soon turned up a pair of magnificently fluffy socks, complete with a ‘tog rating’ of 2.5.

A tog rating? Yes, tog – the garish label was most insistent. Despite our initial incredulity about this supposed South Island unit, we were

sold on entertainment value alone.

As for the validity of the claim, our Scottish friend was quick to put us right: tog is a measure of thermal insulation, often used to indicate how well a duvet retains the warmth.

In Scotland, where insulation is not a foreign concept, people pay attention to such details. (They also double glaze their windows and shy away from building single ply weatherboard houses, but that’s another story…)

This new definition of ‘tog’

was duly filed away for future trivia nights.

We had a different take on the ‘tog’: Up in the North Island, where even July is balmy, togs are for swimming. We did stop off at the hot pools to give our swimsuits their moment in the limelight, but it was the newly-discovered type of tog that had us in its grip.

There was only one thing for it – we had to pay a visit to the sock factory in Ashburton to find out more.

To get any closer to the source of the knitted footwear that graces stores throughout New Zealand, you’d have to head out into the paddock and tackle a sheep.

The local sock factory is something special. Socks of all colours and styles abound, from brightly coloured technical ski socks through to premium dress socks that would look at home on the red carpet of a world premiere – and they were all toasty warm.

Mum’s frosty feet had never had so much choice.

Neither had Santa Claus – my sisters don’t know it yet, but St Nick is now well stocked up, and their stockings are likely to be filled with stockings for years to come. As for us, we all headed out to the Sunday night quiz togged up in our glad rags and sporting brand new snuggly socks.

For socks that have walked right the way across Spain and carried ironman racers over the finish line, the trip back to Auckland safely stowed away in the hand luggage compartment must have seemed quite tame.

Still, mum’s new socks can bask in the knowledge that not only are they providing a valuable heat-retaining service for the extremities, but the story that led to their purchase might one day mean the difference between third and fourth place in a local pub quiz.

That’s some power, alright.

■ GAZA STRIP Israeli aircraft struck 30 houses in the Gaza Strip yesterday, killing a leader of the militant Islamic Jihad group and two of his sons, as Israel’s Security Cabinet was to meet later in the day to decide whether to expand its operation or consider ideas for a ceasefire.

Israeli ground troops and Hamas gunmen fought intense battles in the north and centre of the territory, Palestinian officials said.

The Israeli military said it hit 45 sites in Gaza, including what it said was a Hamas military command post, while Gaza militants continued to fire rockets at Israel, with one hitting an empty house.

On the 18th day of fighting, Israel’s Security Cabinet was to convene to consider international ceasefire proposals, an Israeli defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deliberations were taking place behind closed doors.

One plan calls for a five-day humanitarian truce during which Israel and Hamas would negotiate new border arrangements for blockaded Gaza, said Hana Amireh, a senior Palestine Liberation Organisation official in the West Bank, who is involved in ceasefire efforts.

Hamas has said it will not

In brief Taliban kills 14

Homes bombed

Taliban insurgents halted minibuses in western Afghanistan, identified 14 Shiite passengers and shot them dead by the side of the road overnight Thursday, an official said. The busses were traveling from Kabul and carrying around 30 passengers, many of whom had gone to the capital to shop ahead of the holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. After questioning the passengers, the Islamic militants identified 14, including three women, as Hazara Shiites.

The insurgents then bound the passengers’ hands, led them away and shot them.

halt fire without international guarantees that Egypt and Israel will open Gaza’s border crossings and end their sevenyear-old blockade. Israel and Egypt are reluctant to ease the blockade, fearing this will enable Hamas to tighten its grip on Gaza.

Israeli media reported that the military also wants more time to continue destroying

rocket sites and tunnels from Gaza into Israel that Hamas has used to launch attacks.

The military says it has found 31 tunnels but only destroyed about one-third of them so far. Israel has mobilized over 65,000 reserve forces during the fighting.

In Jerusalem, meanwhile, thousands of Israeli security forces were deployed for pos-

sible Palestinian protests after prayers at a key Muslim holy site.

The night before, thousands of Palestinians protesting the Gaza fighting clashed with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank and in east Jerusalem in one of the biggest protests in the territory in years. One Palestinian was killed and dozens were wounded.

Black box found at site of Air Algerie crash

Abbott sends 90 to MH17 crash site

French officials dispatched a military unit to secure the site in restive northern Mali where an Air Algerie plane crashed with the loss of 116 people. France’s interior minister said yesterday that terrorism cannot be excluded as a cause for the tragedy, though it was likely due to bad weather.

French president Francois Hollande said that there were no survivors in the crash of the MD-83 aircraft, owned by Spanish company Swiftair and leased by Algeria’s flagship carrier, which disappeared from radar less than an hour after it took off early Thursday from Burkina Faso’s capital, Ouagadougou, for Algiers.

The plane had requested permission to change course due to bad weather.

Speaking after a crisis meeting, Hollande also announced that one of the aircraft’s two black boxes has been found in the wreckage, in the Gossi region near the border with Burkina Faso. It is being taken

to the northern Mali city of Gao. A French Reaper drone based in Niger spotted the wreckage, French Transport Minister Frederic Cuvillier told France-Info radio on Friday. Two helicopter teams also overflew, noting that the wreckage was in a concentrated area. A column of soldiers in some 30 vehicles were dispatched to the site, he said.

A statement from Hollande’s office said the aircraft had been clearly identified “despite its state of disintegration.” Quick discovery of the wreckage is “decisive” in piecing together what hap-

pened, the transport minister said, describing the aircraft as “disintegrated” and debris “in an apparently small area.”

“We think the plane went down due to weather conditions, but no hypothesis can be excluded as long as we don’t have the results of an investigation,” French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told RTL radio.

“Terrorist groups are in the zone. ... We know these groups are hostile to Western interests,” Cazeneuve said.

The pilots had sent a final message to ask Niger air control to change its route because of heavy rain.

Australia is close to finalising a deal with Ukraine to send police and a small number of troops to secure the Malaysian plane crash site as part of a multinational team, the Australian prime minister said yesterday.

Australia has 90 federal police officers in Europe ready to be deployed to the site in eastern Ukraine where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was downed last week, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said. Some of the officers could be armed, and would be accompanied by members of Australia’s defence force, he said.

Armed pro-Russian separatists control the area and have hampered investigators’ attempts to access the site.

Abbott stressed that the team, which would include countries that lost citizens in the disaster, would not be going in as part of a military mission.

“This is a humanitarian mission ... with a clear and simple objective: to bring them home,” Abbott said.

For the developers of the world’s sixth tallest building near Seoul, a mysteriously shrinking lake and the appearance of small sinkholes in residential neighbourhoods couldn’t have come at a more inopportune time. Plans for the super-high tower first surfaced in 1995 and it took another 15 years to get a green light after the Air Force objected to it as a risk to a nearby military airport used for VIP flights. In June and July, residents in Songpa neighbourhoods surrounding the development reported the appearance of holes on at least two roads.

Charges dropped The NRL’s South Sydney player Dylan Walker and Canterbury recruit Tyrone Phillips have had charges against them dropped over a violent brawl outside a nightclub. Phillips and Walker were both charged with affray after a melee broke out outside Anesi Lounge at Beverly Hills in Sydney’s south in the early hours of November 3. The brawl, which allegedly involved up to 100 people, ended up putting three men in hospital. Initial reports indicated one man suffered stab wounds to the stomach and a possible collapsed lung, while another alleged victim had a “horrific neck wound”.

Activist walks free An activist who temporarily wiped $300 million off a mining company’s value by issuing a hoax media release has walked free.

Jonathan Moylan, 26, was released on a two-year good behaviour bond yesterday after the judge decided he was unlikely to attempt a similar stunt in future. The anti-coalmining activist sparked market upheaval after he issued the bogus release on January 7, 2013. It claimed ANZ Bank had withdrawn a $1.2 billion loan from the company.

Eczema relief Special proteins found in milk are being investigated by scientists to see if they can help relieve eczema.

Many people with eczema shun milk and other dairy products as they can often make the debilitating skin condition worse.

But a study under way in Sydney is investigating whether two specific milk proteins can actually help relieve the dry, itchy skin symptoms associated with eczema. The pilot study involves giving adults with eczema a daily supplement of whey proteins.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) What began earlier in the week as a slow financial turnaround gains a new sense of urgency, with a chance now to draw a new line in the sand.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) While this weekend’s New Moon is focused on new beginnings on the home front, communication and relationship matters will also benefit.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) While it’s important to keep both your money and work hats on over the weekend, having the communication lines open is paramount.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) You’ve got the professional hindsight and momentum banked to support your wildest of expectations as new doors open on the income front.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Just in time for the weekend Mars shifts his focus onto home and family matters, just as a New Moon creates an opportunity for a fresh start.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) You not only have permission to wind down and use the weekend as a chance to hear yourself think, it’s almost a demand from the stars.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) The Sun’s first weekend in a social and serendipitous part of your chart makes this an important time for social, team, community or team matters.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Where it may feel like you’ve been stuck in limbo, both personally and professionally, expect to catch your second wind and your fighting spirit.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) While social matters and remaining connected will remain important there is likely to be a desire to put out the ‘do not disturb’ sign this weekend.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) As Mars’ longest visit to your career sector in 3 decades comes to an end hold onto the professional passions and fighting spirit you’re left with.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) The weekend’s New Moon in your relationship sector gives you a chance to commit to what your relationships need now and to the journey ahead.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Mars’ return to your sector of travel, adventure, learning and discovery sees a passion for adventure and a hunger for life’s richer experiences kick in.
