Allergen concerns hit Chanel No 5

Europe’s grand old perfume houses and organic cosmetic newcomers may be looking at a major clean-out as the European Union sniffs out ingredients blamed for skin allergies in up to 15 million people. A report by the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety found three allergens - HICC and moss extracts atranol and chloroatranol, which give a woody bouquet such as that in Chanel No.5 – were “not safe”, the Commission said. The three have been implicated in thousands of allergy cases, especially eczema, and should be banned from cosmetic products, it said. Another 12 chemicals and eight natural extracts used to give perfumes a rose or lemon fragrance “were identified as substances of special concern,” the Commission added. The 12 chemicals should be subject to concentration limits, it said, with all listed in product labels. “We are not targeting any particular perfume,” said EU consumer affairs commissioner Neven Mimica.

“There is no question of banning Chanel No.5.”

Searching for Angus Anderson A Mayfield family is on the hunt for Angus Anderson – to hand on a wrongly-delivered Christmas present. An envelope was delivered to Kevin and Anna McKeown’s mailbox shortly after Christmas. It was addressed to Angus Anderson, Merrivale, RD5, Ashburton – which is the McKeowns’ address. It contained a Christmas card and an EB Games gift voucher purchased at Richmond Mall in Nelson, and was signed off by Granddad Bob. Mr McKeown has called all the Andersons in the local directory, to enquire if they have a child called Angus, but has had no luck in tracking down the rightful owner of the gift. This week he brought the card into the Guardian to see if we can find Angus. If anyone can help please call Michelle on 307-7971.

Wolf Creek serial killer a softie at heart He might play a sadistic serial killer in the Wolf Creek movies, but John Jarratt is a softie at heart. So much so, Valentine’s Day isn’t necessary. “I’m not into it,” Jarratt says while promoting Wolf Creek 2 in Sydney. I love my girl every second of every day, so I don’t need Valentine’s Day.” Jarratt, who has been married three times, reunited with first wife Rosa in 2012. Co-star Ryan Corr says it’s a little known fact that the man who plays Mick Taylor is a hopeless romantic. “It’s really quite something to admire,” he says, nodding at Jarratt. “You’d never admit that, while you’re doing Wolf Creek, but Rosa is the absolute apple of his eye.” But would the psycopathic Mick Taylor ever have a chance at being struck by cupid’s arrow?

Corr laughs: “Can you imagine what she would look like? Three teeth...”

Jarratt adds that there are people really hoping Mick finds a sweet fellow psychopath to share the rest of their lives - and end others - with.

Naked Girls to read at Adelaide Fringe Naked Girls Reading in the Garden is sure to attract a hell of a lot of attention at the Adelaide Fringe this month. Four women clad in their birthday suits will take turns reading excerpts from books during 50-minute shows in The Garden of Unearthly Delights in Rundle Park.

Performer and producer Frankie Valentine says the Naked Girls Reading franchise was founded in Chicago in 2009 and now has regular performances in more than 14 American cities. The idea was sparked by Franky Vivid arriving home to find his wife, international showgirl Michelle L’amour, naked and reading a book. The Adelaide show will run until March 16. Valentine says she has no qualms about the performance.

She will be joined by different women during the series including an Adelaide dominatrix and Fiona Patten, leader of the Australian Sex Party.

■ COURT

Home detention for ACC fraudster An Ashburton man has been sentenced to home detention after presenting himself as wheelchair-dependent to prolong ACC cover.

Leslie Tamateatu UrquhartBarrett, 55, was charged with fraudulently receiving ACC assistance after presenting himself as wheelchair-bound at medical appointments, despite being seen driving and walking unaided during his everyday activities, the Christchurch District Court heard this week.

Along with the charge from

ACC, Urquhart-Barrett also faced six charges from the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) for breaches of the Social Security Act, relating to wilful omission.

He was sentenced to seven months’ home detention, and ordered to pay $4031.21 in reparation on the ACC charge, and $12,030.39 on the MSD charges; $960 in prosecution costs, and $2070 in witness expenses when he was sentenced on Thursday.

The court heard the Ashburton truck driver injured his back

and shoulder in a workplace accident in 2006 and received weekly compensation from ACC until August 2010.

After complaining of mobility restrictions in 2008, he underwent surgery, and received home help and the use of a wheelchair.

He continued to provide ACC with medical certificates stating that he was unfit for work.

Growing concerns from Urquhart-Barrett’s case manager led to an investigation being undertaken in 2010, during which Urquhart-Barrett was seen

driving his car and walking unaided, although he continued to use his wheelchair when attending medical appointments.

Urquhart-Barrett did not inform ACC that he only used his wheelchair for meetings, preventing ACC from correctly assessing his appropriate level of rehabilitation and assistance.

Urquhart-Barrett was aware that he had a responsibility to advise ACC of any change in circumstances, and acknowledged his signature on the ACC165 “Declaration of Rights

and Responsibilities” form.

ACC’s general manager of claims management Sid Miller said it was disappointing when people chose to abuse the ACC scheme for financial gain.

“ACC collects levies to help people with genuine injuryrelated needs. Mr UrquhartBarrett’s offending therefore amounts to theft from honest, hard-working New Zealanders.”

ACC has a dedicated investigations unit, which follows up all tip-offs received about possible fraud.

Demolition held up by second asbestos find

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

The future development of Ashburton Hospital continues to be hindered by asbestos with issues on its removal delaying demolition work.

The earthquake-affected buildings fronting Elizabeth Street have taken a partially undressed state with demolition work halted late December.

Asbestos was found early on in the demolition but was cleared for removal and work continued.

But more was found.

The Canterbury District Health Board confirmed this week they had developed and agreed on a future design combining the Acute Admitting Unit and a theatre complex.

Canterbury District Health Board chief executive David Meates said Ashburton Hospital’s redevelopment was a significant step towards securing the future of hospital-based health services for the Ashburton community, now and in the future.

“Therefore a new Acute Admitting Unit will now be part of the redevelopment of Ashburton Hospital after a re-think of the board’s current plans for the site.

“Initial plans were to refurbish and expand the unit but it will now be part of a new complex housing the operating theatre and a procedure room.”

Mr Meates said shared facilities would streamline the AAU service at pressure times, such as weekends and after hours. It also allowed for better use of the facility.

“It’s important Canterbury DHB invests wisely now to ensure facilities which will be useful for future generations.”

The refurbishment and strengthening of the current medical and surgical wards would continue as part of the $8.7m upgrade and refurbishment.

It was made up of $7.2m from CDHB and $1.5m from Advance Ashburton Charitable Trust.

Mr Meates said staff who

worked in the theatre and AAU and theatre areas would have opportunities to work with the team designing the new facility.

“It is hoped construction will start towards the middle of this year with the new AAU expected to open in just under a year from construction commenc-

ing,” he said.

“Unfortunately there have been some further delays because of asbestos but it’s important this is addressed properly so that it can be safely removed.”

He expected demolition work to continue in the next couple of weeks.

Ashburton Hospital buildings have taken on a partially undressed state waiting for demolition work to resume.

■ ASHBURTON SCAMS

In brief

Beware: Too good to be true

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Police are disappointed that Mid Canterbury people are falling victim to scammers and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in life savings.

They’re urging Mid and South Cantabrians to be vigilant for financial scams after noticing a number of local people being caught out by scams over the past year, particularly by those originating abroad.

Detective Sergeant Dylan Murray of Timaru CIB said during the last 12 months he’d heard some “sad tales” of financial loss from members of the local community.

“Each person I have spoken to has been the victim of an international scam of one kind or another,” he said.

“I wouldn’t say scams are becoming more prevalent, but it is disappointing that hundreds of thousands of dollars in people’s life savings are being lost.”

He said scammers were often forming strong emotional bonds with their victims, to the point that victims often did not believe they were victims.

“Scammers particularly like targeting the elderly for their nest-egg, or other people of all ages who are emotionally vulnerable for whatever reason,” Mr Murray said.

“These scammers are mostly based in countries where corruption is rife and laws are lax, although they usually pretend to be elsewhere. Unfortunately

Alison Pugh will be the new co-host of TVNZ’s Breakfast show, alongside host Rawdon Christie, the national broadcaster announced yesterday. Pugh first joined TVNZ in early 2009, starting on the assignments desk before reporting later that year. She said she had always been “really passionate” about the Breakfast show and was looking forward to the year ahead. Pugh will take up the role effective immediately, starting on Breakfast on Monday.

Driver on drugs

any investigation is likely to be fruitless both in recovering funds and prosecuting any offender.”

Mr Murray said there were common forms of fraud that affected New Zealanders.

The advance fee fraud is the classic Nigerian scam where the victim is contacted by email and pays up front for something that never arrives.

The prime bank instrument fraud involves people being invited to take part in a secret market, and are offered prime

bank notes or debentures supposedly paying high returns.

This market does not exist.

Money sent to these schemes is lost.

The affinity fraud occurs when fraudsters prey on people who trust each other, such as members of religious, social, or cultural groups. They use the trust that exists within these groups to help steal money.

In Ponzi schemes, money from new investors is used to pay interest to earlier investors to give the illusion the invest-

ment is successful.

“Scammers will do anything to rip people off, so it’s important to be aware of the different kinds of scams circulating - especially if using email or a mobile phone,” Mr Murray said.

“Be suspicious - any offer that sounds too good to be true probably is, so don’t be fooled.”

Police recommend anyone intending to invest significant amounts of money overseas does so only with sound legal or financial advice from New Zealand accredited professionals.

lice when her scammer kept “hassling” her.

Someone who had set up a page claiming to be Dr Wilson Panammer and a former Alliance Group London manager said he had been asked to resume auditing duties and “discovered” a dormant account

with $12.4 million for someone bearing the same surname as her.

He asked for her telephone number, date of birth and name, picture ID on international passport and driver’s licence, bank account details and other information, so he could

deposit the money in her bank account.

It was the first time she had heard of scammers trying to target people through Facebook, and she wanted to warn others.

“I don’t want someone else to get caught out,” she said.

Papamoa man Iain Stewart Crisp smoked cannabis within half an hour of the Maungatapu bridge fatal crash that killed 24-year-old Tauranga father Gregory Woledge.

Crisp, 45, who yesterday admitted causing the crash, was heading home about 6pm on August 12 when his vehicle veered right into the opposing lane and collided head-on with Mr Woledge’s work van. The van became airborne and rotated through the bridge railings and plunged into the harbour with Mr Woledge and his 23-year-old work colleague Ashley Donkersley still inside. Mr Woledge was trapped inside the submerged van.

Dog starved A man who almost starved his dog to death because he had “lost interest” in the pet, has been banned from owning animals for five years. Jared Kelly, 23, entered a guilty plea to ill-treating an animal, and was yesterday sentenced in Papakura District Court, where he was also fined $350, court costs of $130 and reparations of $386. The animal eventually had to be put down.

A tip-off from a member of the public led the SPCA to a Papakura home where an adult male boxer-Staffordshire terrier cross was chained to the ground with no shelter in June last year. The neglected dog weighed just 15.5kg.

Long family search A 70-year search to find her mum has led an Australian woman to the Bay of Plenty, where she hopes to find the missing pieces of her life’s puzzle. As the Depression raged in the heart of 1930s Sydney, 7-yearold Patricia Phelps waved goodbye to Edna Eilienne Hannon, the woman she knew as her sister.

Ten years later, she discovered Edna, who had moved to Auckland, was actually her mother and the mother she had been brought up with was her grandmother. The discovery sparked an almost 70-year search to find Edna, which Mrs Phelps and her family hope will end in the Bay of Plenty. After searching through historic records, they believe their long-lost family member, last known as Edna Eileen Sexton lived throughout the Bay. - APNZ

Louisa’s mutant lily attracts attention

By MylEs HuME

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

With all the work to keep on top of a three-quarter acre garden, Willowby resident Louisa Russell would have thought she knew every inch of her property well.

But when she went deeper into her garden to take care of a few weeds on Monday, what she startled upon caught her off guard - a freakish lily stem lay on the ground, believed to have been there for three years.

“I remember looking down and seeing a lily stem with more than 60 bulbs on it lying on the ground. I almost had a heart attack seeing how many were on it,” Mrs Russell said.

The sheer weight of the bulbs prevented it from growing upright.

“It’s stem is flat, it’s not round like oth-

ers and it looks like a bit of a mutant.

I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

She ended up counting 64 flower heads in total, and it now sits in a vase in her home, serving a hot topic of conversation for many of her circuit training clients.

“This is unusual, normally they have five to 12 big flowers on them, depending the lily,” she said.

Rakaia’s Van Zanten Flower Bulbs Ltd specialises in lilies. Its shed manager Anton Warmerdam agreed it was unusual for lilies to have that many flower heads.

Mrs Russell believed the mammoth lily had been in her garden for about three years after she was given a handful of bulbs from a friend.

She planned to keep it in her home for several weeks, regularly changing its water and small amounts of sugar to keep it alive.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Teachers still finding payroll errors

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Fears over bungled school staff wages at the beginning of the year have become a reality for Mid Canterbury schools, but principals say Novopay has come too far to turn back.

The first pay periods of the schooling year are regarded as the most complicated as staff come and go, but for some Mid Canterbury schools the error rate was higher than they had anticipated 18 months after the much-maligned Novopay sys-

tem was introduced.

In fact, a New Zealand Principals’ Federation survey of 714 schools found on average almost six staff per school were incorrectly paid in the last pay round.

Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs said the school had encountered a number of problems, resulting in two staff needing to be topped up by the school.

Meanwhile, Ashburton Intermediate had problems with at least two staff members wages, its principal Gavin Cooper admitting the errors were “pretty

standard now”.

However, he felt it was on the gradual improve.

The principals’ federation survey also found 72.7 per cent of schools had no confidence in Novopay ever becoming an effective pay roll system.

Federation president Philip Harding said more than 65 per cent of schools still have unresolved issues, and are becoming increasingly fed up.

They want to know when the Government will finally acknowledge that Novopay can’t be fixed and then start work on

its replacement.

“We cannot ignore this direct feedback from schools, which tells us that the Novopay saga is far from over,’ said Harding.

Mount Hutt College was one of those with unresolved historical problems, but Mr Schreurs said although it was frustrating, schools would have to put up with the system until it was functioning properly.

“It would cost way too much to change it to something else, where’s the money going to come from.

“I think we have just got to

live with what we have got.

“Right from the word go the sector should have been consulted and trials run, so I hope they learn when they go to change anything.”

Minister responsible for Novopay Steven Joyce said the latest pay period was “not as good as we have previously been experiencing”.

Complaints and notifications had been received regarding 0.69 per cent of staff across the country; 234 staff were not paid, 107 were overpaid, and 175 underpaid.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Students revel in fun house sports

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

An aroma of sunscreen, sausages and team spirit rolled into one above the Ashburton Domain and college yesterday.

That’s because more than 1200 Ashburton College pupils were participating in the school’s annual preliminary athletics day – some in a bid to claim highlyprized house points while others vied for a place in the college athletics finals in two weeks.

Quirky costumes coloured blue, orange, red or green represented the respective houses that pupils were throwing, running and jumping for at the Ashburton Domain and college field, each competitor claiming a house point for the events they entered.

“This is the first house points opportunity of the year and it’s a big one, and as you can see everyone is well into the house spirit,” the college’s head of PE Trevor Cochrane said.

That was reflected through the “chilled out” atmosphere inside the tents popped up as

house headquarters in opposing corners of the domain oval, where pupils took time to listen to music, grab a bite to eat and escape the sun.

In other areas, pupils soaked each other with water guns and on a homemade waterslide, while a tug-of-war served as lunch time entertainment.

Blue House captain Heni Ede was in charge of the blue tent’s sausage sizzle and said it was about creating a relaxed atmosphere, while raising money for house events to be held throughout the year.

Although it was purely a day of participation for some, for others it was an opportunity to qualify for the college’s athletics finals in a fortnight.

Pupils were split into competitive and non-competitive groups, and took part in about eight events which involved high jump, long jump, shot put, discus and running events among others.

The college athletics finals will take place on February 27 in the domain oval.

■ MT HUTT SKIFIELD

In brief

$3m spent on skifield revamp

By SuSan SandyS

Olympic snowboarder Ayumu Hirano, who trained on Mt Hutt last spring, won a silver medal at the Sochi Olympics.

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Establishment of a new ski trail and terrain park is part of $3 million-plus developments underway on Mt Hutt.

Extensive earthworks have seen the new trail, called Highway 72 Express, created above the Highway 72 beginner trail.

Manager James McKenzie said it would give experienced skiers a new route to access lower terrain without having to zip through the slow beginner area.

The new terrain park will be in addition to the mountain’s current terrain park areas, and cater for beginner to intermediate riders and skiers. It will be to the skier-right of the Summit Six Morning Glory run.

“It’s an area that’s under utilised, so we are keen to get into that area,” Mr McKenzie said.

Creation of the new area demonstrated the ski area’s commitment to terrain park riders.

Mr McKenzie was also pleased to report the success of Olympic athlete Ayumu Hirano

Pledges preserved Thousands of signatures and messages of support pledged by the people of Christchurch after the devastating 2001 earthquakes have been digitally preserved. The Pledge books - which notched up around 27,000 names, signatures and messages after the February 22 quake - have been scanned into a digital archive to preserve the “memories and experiences of Cantabrians”. “The Pledge is a very important document and we’re honoured to help ensure its digital preservation,” said archive director Professor Paul Millar of the University of Canterbury (UC).

“The fact that thousands of people publicly pledged themselves to Christchurch’s future immediately after the most damaging earthquake speaks volumes about the strong feelings so many of us have for our city and province.”

PM backs inquiry of Japan. The 15-year-old had trained with fellow freestylers at a special camp at Mt Hutt last spring, and had now won silver at Sochi.

“It’s great to have people coming here of that sort of calibre,” he said.

New equipment on the skifield this year includes two new PB400 Park Bully groomers, at $400,000 each. And further

work this summer will include installing 650 metres of high voltage electrical cable from the top of the triple chairlift to the top of the Summit Six. The top of the mountain has previously had only limited power from a generator, and the new development will mean de-icing of the Summit Six will be able to be carried out much quicker.

Additionally repairs to the triple chair base station are underway, $200,000 of stateof-the-art rental equipment is being purchased, and new access road barriers are being installed.

“This is the biggest year at Mt Hutt in terms of improvements since the Summit Six went in in 2005,” Mr McKenzie said.

■ ASHBURTON MOTORHOME EXTRAVAGANZA

Prime Minister John Key has again said the Commerce Commission should investigate Labour MP Shane Jones’ allegations against supermarket chain Countdown’s business practices and is backing calls for whistleblowers to be granted anonymity. The competition watchdog is currently mulling whether to launch a formal inquiry into Mr Jones’ allegations that Countdown pressured suppliers into making payments or face having their products pulled from its shelves. Given the perceived threat of retaliation against any whistleblowers who do come forward, Mr Jones and the Food and Grocery Council have called for the commission to grant them anonymity.

Homes offloaded Owners of damaged and unrepairable Canterbury homes are increasingly selling them on an “as is, where is” basis, a new property report says. Property commentators say this reflects the desperation by some house owners to cut their loses and leave behind their damaged property at any cost. Figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand show house sales across the region in January rose by 2.4 per cent compared with January last year.

REINZ regional director Tony McPherson said selling properties on an “as is, where is” basis could become a more prominent feature in the market in the coming months.

Motorhomes market has something for all Ashburton’s Kaylene Donaldson checks in Mel Robson, of Christchurch, and his extravagant motor home as hundreds of homes on wheels converged in town yesterday for the Ashburton Motorhome Extrava-

ganza.

The extravaganza is in its 13th year.

Run by Bev and Murray Meadows, the annual event invites motorhome sellers to rent a site and set up camp for two

days at the Ashburton Showgrounds, opening their doors to potential buyers in a one-stop location.

It is well supported.

Mrs Meadows said at full capacity there could be around

400 motorhomes on site, though that included some that were not for sale just on site as potential buyers.

The extravaganza runs today and tomorrow between 9am– 4pm.

Three iconic hairdos are being celebrated in a series of limited edition T-shirts for this year’s Shave for a Cure campaign.

The T-shirts, sporting images of Danny and Sandy’s dos from the musical Grease, David Bowie’s 1970s mullet and artist Frida Kahlo’s trademark bun were designed by Sam Yong, who illustrated double-Grammy winner Lorde’s breakout album.

The T-shirts are a collaboration between World and Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC). Shave for a Cure is LBC’s annual fundraising event, in which thousands of people pledge to shave their heads in exchange for donations from family and friends.

■ AORAKI POLYTECHNIC

Support campus, community urged

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Aoraki Polytechnic’s Ashburton campus is expecting fewer enrolments this year as it deals with the fallout of major restructuring across the organisation.

The polytechnic’s chief executive Alex Cabrera estimates up to 60 full-time equivalent students will be enrolled in Ashburton by the end of the year,

compared with 69 in 2013.

That is nine full-time students fewer than 2013, which could equate to almost 30 students – many who study part time.

Mr Cabrera said this week he had received 23 equivalent full-time student enrolments for the Ashburton Campus so far this year, which he rated as “a similar level to last year” as it approaches the beginning of

several courses. However that number is set to rise as courses begin throughout the year.

Tertiary Education Union organiser Kris Smith said Aoraki Polytechnic was “in for a tough year” as it cut a further six jobs this week on top of 24 redundancies last year to ensure it kept financially afloat.

She said campuses such as Ashburton were vital to the

survival of tertiary institution and urged the community not to take it for granted.

“I don’t think the Ashburton community has supported it enough over the years, it’s sort of hung in there, its support has been fluctuating, we need people to make a commitment,” she said.

Mr Cabrera said the bus which transported pupils from the Ash-

burton campus to Timaru daily had strong enrolment numbers, currently sitting at 50 students.

The Ashburton campus offers programmes, including agriculture and farming skills (in collaboration with Lincoln University), beauty skills, business and business administration, parenting and care of children, life skills and a range of shorter courses during the year.

Benefit ban for Kiwis bites Dominique

Death threats for hip-hop opponent

By susan sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Living in the lucky country has turned out unlucky for one Ashburton woman due to Australia’s ban on benefit payments to Kiwis.

Dominique Ward moved to Brisbane with her father eightand-a-half years ago. Most of his family already lived in the city, and it seemed to make sense to head off to a warm climate and better work prospects.

Miss Ward got a job within two weeks, at Hungry Jacks, and she remained employed in various positions over the years, recently undertaking a job as an apprentice chef.

However, last year her employer “let me go” before a trial period was competed.

“It was great timing, because I just found out I was pregnant as well,” Miss Ward said sarcastically.

“I couldn’t get any assistance or anything and no-one is going to hire you when you are pregnant.”

She is now facing the prospect of life as a single mother with no permanent job and no access to single parent benefits.

To save on rent she is sharing a house with her father, but the pair were “just surviving” on his wage, $410 of which went on rent each week.

She said she had had “no idea” of the tough restrictions on benefits to Kiwis in Australia when she moved there, and had

Australia’s rules on welfare payments to Kiwis have made life tough across the Tasman for Ashburton born-and-bred Dominique Ward.

also found she could not become an Australian citizen or permanent resident. She said in order to apply for the latter, one had to be in a relationship with an Australian citizen for more than two years, or be skilled in a qualified trade.

And the application cost $3000 with no guarantees of acceptance.

“It’s very unfair, and it’s just

not right, I think it’s discriminatory.”

She believed once she had her baby, due in May, she would qualify for a family tax benefit of $350 per fortnight, and once she had lived in Australia for 10 years would qualify for an unemployment benefit for a sixmonth period.

She has casual on-call work with a catering firm, but needed

permanent employment. Once she has her baby, she will also not be able to access childcare subsidies available to Australian parents.

“If I go back to work I will pay for it anyway,” she said.

She was not planning on moving back to New Zealand.

“It’s home now, because I have been here so long,” she said.

Farmers encouraged to learn management skills Many farmers have the practical knowledge needed to operate their business, but lack the management skills.

Recent DairyNZ research showed that the variation between the country’s best and worst performing dairy farms is caused by the differences in the management capability of

the people running those farms.

As individual profitability of farm businesses improves, so too does the profitability of the industry – with DairyNZ modelling putting this at a potential $1 billion per year.

With this in mind Primary ITO in conjunction with rural professionals from banks, fer-

tiliser companies, milk supply companies and others will host a networking event in Rakaia on Tuesday.

Speakers will include Primary ITO representative, farm owner and industry professional Kathryn van den Beuken, Westpac agri-banker Mark Williams, Kate Alexander from

Primary ITO, and farm owner and industry professional Adele Wells.

The event will be held at the Rakaia Rugby Club Rooms, Railway Terrace West (by the Railway Tavern) on Tuesday between 4.30 and 5.30pm. For more information call 0800 20 80 20.

The organiser of a group which campaigned against a visit to New Zealand by hip-hop group Odd Future says she has fielded death and rape threats after some of its members were refused entry to the country.

The Los Angeles collective was meant to be playing at the Rapture hip-hop festival in Auckland today but was refused entry after being determined a threat to public order.

It was to be an emergency replacement after Kendrick Lamar - one of the show’s top billings - announced he was pulling out because of an “unavoidable scheduling conflict”.

However, in a statement this week Immigration New Zealand said Odd Future had been deemed a potential threat to public order.

Border operations manager Karen Urwin said authorities decided to decline visas to six group members after becoming aware of a 2011 incident in Boston in which some witnesses claimed group members incited fans to attack police officers.

In that incident, at an album signing for frontman Tyler, The Creator, the group climbed on top of the shop and ran from roof to roof. A police officer was hurt and a 13-year-old girl arrested.

Immigration NZ’s decision came days after sexual violence advocacy group Stop Demand emailed Auckland councillors, criticising the decision to allow the group to perform at the Western Springs event.

The email quoted several lyrics from Odd Future which referred to rape.

Stop Demand founder Denise Ritchie said the organisation had been inundated with hate mail since the decision was made public.

In brief Health warning Community and Public Health have issued a health warning on a popular food gathering site at Akaroa after an extreme toxic contamination was discovered in Walnut Creek, Akaroa, (from Rue Noyer to the coast). Canterbury District Health Board was alerted to the contamination after dead eels were discovered at the creek.

The nature of the toxin is unknown at this stage but Environment Canterbury was currently investigating to determine the source of the contamination.

Antarctic magic

Call for sugar tax Imposing a 20 per cent tax on Coke and other fizzy soft drinks could save 67 lives a year by reducing ill-health, a New Zealand study has found. A high sugar intake is linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The study by Auckland and Otago University researchers said the tax would avert or postpone between 60 and 73 deaths a year from cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes - or about 0.2 per cent of deaths from all causes. Based on economic survey data showing the effect of varying food prices on household buying, they calculated the tax would reduce daily energy consumption by 0.2 per cent.

Container cannabis Just one of the picturesque views from the Antarctic cruise ship, Silver Explorer.

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Hanne Nielsen is freezing her butt off lecturing on board an Antarctic cruise ship but loving every minute of her second voyage to Antarctica.

A southern fascination developed during her university studies and the chance to return was too good an opportunity to miss.

Lecturing on board an Antarctic cruise ship called the Silver Explorer, Miss Nielsen is the onboard historian for the English language speakers.

It allows her to share her passion of the continent with first time visitors.

Whangarei man Tony James Ware converted two shipping containers into cannabis growing rooms and buried one under the ground in a bid to go undetected by police.

He failed. Police discovered the cannabis operation during a search of his rural Whareora property on August 11, 2011. Their investigations also revealed Ware stole more than $17,000 worth of electricity to run the illegal operation. Ware, 47, appeared in the Whangarei District Court for sentencing this week after a jury previously found him guilty of cultivating cannabis and stealing electricity worth $17,409.

Ware staunchly represented himself throughout, and told Judge McDonald as he left the court on Tuesday he would be appealing his sentence. He told the court he disputed the yield test police had carried out that estimated up to $500,000 could be made from the plants during one harvest.

“I’m here because three years ago I went to Scott Base with the University of Canterbury and I’ve been fascinated by Antarctica ever since.”

In 2013, she wrote her masters thesis on Representations of Antarctica upon the Theatre Stage.

She then applied to lecture on the ships.

“I give the German Language lecture programme and am also the on-board historian for the English Language speakers.”

She informs people about historical figures like Scott, Amundsen, Shackleton, Charcot and de Gerlache.

And also lectures on the Antarctic base design and its year-

round living conditions.

Miss Nielsen said each cruise left Ushuaia, in Argentina, and was a 10-day round trip.

“We visit the Antarctic Peninsula, landing at places like Port Lockroy and Deception Island.

“We have up to 130 guests on board with us for each cruise, and after a two-day crossing of the Drake Passage (which are the stormiest waters on earth!) we cruise for around five days.”

They visit landing sites, look at penguins and whales and learn about the geology, history, biology and ice of the area.

The temperature is totally dependent on the wind.

“Generally our temperatures at this time of year sit around

zero, plus or minus a few degrees, but in the sun with no wind you can be in a tee-shirt, whereas the same temperature with a breeze means you need five or six layers on under your parka.”

Miss Nielsen said the passengers did a polar plunge each voyage and the water could be colder than zero and super salty.

It was because of the high salination.

The Antarctic season finishes on March 2 but Miss Nielsen will remain with the ship until mid-March.

“It’s a great ship and a great team on board, exploring an even greater destination,” she said.

Principal stops runaway truck

A small-town school principal jumped into a 29-tonne truck that was veering across one of the country’s busiest roads in peak hour yesterday after its diabetic driver passed out at the wheel.

Before Papakura man Banapa Avatea and another motorist managed to halt the wildly veering truck, he held back two lanes of southbound traffic with his car for eight kilometres on State Highway 1 between Hamilton and Auckland to keep them from possibly being crushed by the out of control heavy vehicle, carrying a digger.

Mr Avatea, who is the principal of Huntly West School, was making his daily commute to work from his home with his 5-year-old son Jordan in the back about 7am.

“There was a truck in front of me and he apFirepoint 360 peared to be going quite slow. Cars were overtaking him but then I saw he was sliding to the right and collecting barriers.

“I thought to myself, ‘that’s not right’, so I accelerated and came up beside him so I could look into the cab. I saw that the driver was hunched over the wheel.

Eventually, as the truck neared Rangiriri it crashed hard into a barrier and slowed down.

There when you need the

A

t a time of crisis, it’s the calm voice of reason and direction people want.

They want to know they are not alone, that someone is coming to help, will take control and be responsible.

The calm voice asks for a location.

The reply can range anywhere from calm and detached, to wildly hysterical, but mostly there is a sense of urgency, of an emergency situation needing help now!

A series of questions are asked, designed to get the most information out of any caller in the least amount of time.

Nationwide St John deal with about 8300 emergency calls a week.

In the St John call centre in Christchurch, there is a murmur of voices and the firm tapping of keyboards as up to 10 operators look at multiple screens, talking and entering in details.

These operators include call takers, dispatchers, Medic Alert monitors, and Clinical Telephone Advice staff.

They are placed together in a side room off the administration offices of the St John building on the edge of Christchurch. The site is a temporary home, post earthquake until they return to the centre of town.

It is a security conscious building, housing mostly administration and corporate St John staff. There are more than 100 people on site.

The interior is modern. It has a state of the art cafeteria facility and the main office has desks set in open plan with large planted trees in pots breaking up the electronic atmosphere. There is a feeling of peace.

In the communications room, dispatchers are given calls based on the information gleaned by the call taker.

Despatches are split into four regions – West Coast/Tasman, Canterbury, South Canterbury and Southern.

They juggle the needs of the people with the resources they have on hand.

The saying ‘you can only do, what you can only do’ comes to mind.

This is where the problem lies.

As telephone calls to the emergency line increase, the charitable organisation’s funding can only be stretched so far – something has to change.

St John has launched a Clinical Telephone Advice system where Clinical Intensive Care Paramedics give telephone support to St John staff in the field, at the communications centre like help to prioritise workloads, and to help assess non-life threatening calls.

These non-life threatening calls take time to process. So before an ambulance is dispatched, a clinical support operator can telephone back the caller to further assess their condition.

St John clinical coach Craig Stockdale says Christchurch had about 75 calls a week that they termed “low acuity” so went through a secondary triage process.

And of these 75 calls, 22 per cent were redirected from the emergency system to alternative pathways, such as a GP or an after-hours doctor or even to “self present” at the hospital.

In the Christchurch communication centre, the advice desk operates from 7am to 7pm. In this twelve hour period, Canterbury gets around 590 emergency calls.

Back on the phone, the call taker

Emergency calls to St John are on the increase but funding can only stretch so far. Health reporter Toni Williams went to find out how St John plan to manage.

continues through their list of questions, and the caller is less panicked.

They get the address, they find out what’s happened, prioritise the call, send an ambulance (if appropriate) and constantly keep information available for ambu-

lance crew as it comes to hand.

There are those that use the 111 system as a last resort – it’s an emergency, life is threatened.

But there are some who call the emergency number at the drop of a hat.

Five people in Christchurch are known to St John Canterbury. Between them they have called 500 ambulances in one year – a whopping 100 each over half of the call-outs to Methven in a whole year.

Plans are in place to deal with

hem most these recidivist callers, with prosecution a definite option.

However, before any action is taken there are considerations to be made.

Craig says age, mental status, socio-economic status and the ability for them to manage their own healthcare were all considered.

“We manage high users, they are everywhere. In the smaller communities it is less frequent.”

The number of emergency calls to Ashburton, Methven, Mayfield and Rakaia last year was 4,224 – 4015 calls in 2012, and 3744 calls in 2011. It has been a steady increase.

Craig says finding the solution between available money and an increase in use has been a balancing act. Especially as the core function of St John was to respond in a medical emergency.

“We cannot provide an ambulance to people with pimples that don’t stop bleeding. We look at our core volume, finding better pathways for them in best possible timeframe.”

When it came down to someone who had a toothache for three days who then decided to call an ambulance versus Nana who had fallen on the floor, a priority had to be made.

“It’s not the calls but the time to turn a job around, sometimes that can be 45 minutes,” Craig says.

‘It’s unsustainable to just put another vehicle out.”

Without an emergency department in Ashburton, getting people to self present at the hospital had its own issues. If there was non-life threatening urgency but no ambulance, one option was to get a patient to drive themselves (or be driven) to hospital.

St John Ashburton operate two ambulances – two during

the day and one at night.

They were double staffed, with one paid staff member and one volunteer on each.

The reliance of Ashburton St John on volunteer crew was vital.

“Get two patients in the ambulances and they can be tied up pretty quickly.”

There was backup in Methven, Mayfield, or at worst case at Leeston.

If a patient was directed to self present at the hospital, St John always contacted the hospital directly to inform them of a patient’s imminent arrival.

Most hospital staff had been accommodating, but one or two had taken longer to understand the issues.

In the past an ambulance was sent to a 111 call regardless, now St John was working to be smarter.

Craig says the working volume had increased three per cent a year nationally, but funding and staff levels had not.

“The expectations of ambulance needs to change...change the model cause its not sustainable.”

“The nature of our job it’s like a lottery, we don’t know when there’s going to be a heart attack, you can plan a model to a point.”

The next development was to expand the operation and create clinical hubs with integrated nurses for secondary triage.

They would take the low acuity calls that did not need an ambulance.

They will be trialled in Auckland in May and then rolled out nationwide by Christmas.

“It’s already kind of working here,” says Craig.

WHEN TO CALL Call 111 and ask for “ambulance” when there is a medical emergency such as ■ Chest pain or tightness (may also be felt in arm, jaw, neck or upper abdomen (tummy)) ■ Difficulty breathing ■ Choking ■ Sudden weakness or difficulty talking (this may be a stroke) ■ Fainting or unconsciousness (not being awake) ■ Severe pain ■ Severe bleeding, or bleeding that won’t stop

Cannabis – stamping it out

N

ew Zealanders and Australians are the biggest cannabis users in the

world.

Despite extensive research linking cannabis with slowed brain activity, memory loss and psychosis, we continue to light up.

Drug driving statistics and scientific studies show the drug isn’t doing our young people any favours, yet another growing season for New Zealand’s most widely used illegal drug is well under way.

In Mid/South Canterbury, police relied a lot on people alerting them to cannabis, or suspicious activity possibly linked to drugs, sergeant Kevin McErlain said.

“In the past we have done fixed wing and recovery with the helicopter but we’re not in a position to do that now,” Mr McErlain said.

Those fixed wing operations were often visible at this time of the year in areas like the Ashburton River, but those had not been done for some years now.

Mr McErlain said in this day and age, a lot of growing was done indoors in controlled environments.

“But for those who do wish to venture outside this is probably the peak time.”

Police say the cannabis season is often accompanied by a spike in dishonesty offending – especially theft of electric fence units and tools from farm sheds.

Federated Farmers has issued a warning urging landowners to beware of the “the perfect rural crime storm’’ this time of year brings.

The annual cannabis growing season is well under way, sparking pleas by police for the public to report suspicious growing activity. In part one of a two-part series, Cassandra Mason and Erin Tasker investigate the Kiwi love affair with cannabis and whether it’s showing any signs of burning out.

“Illicit cannabis growers are at work, the rustlers are hitting farms and we expect equipment and even fuel theft. I have no doubt in some cases the three are interrelated,’’ Federated Farmers rural security spokeswoman Katie Milne said.

Cannabis growers focus on planting among crops in backcountry areas – making them visible only from the air.

National Cannabis and Crime Operation Detective Senior Sergeant Scott McGill said growers are not only tending their crops on farmland, but on Department of Conservation land too.

While it’s no longer done in Mid Canterbury, helicopters

and planes have been hugely successful at spotting cannabis plantations nestled in the bush in annual spotting operations.

“We get between 100,000120,000 plants a year so we estimate that to be around 30 to 35 per cent of the cannabis grown nationally.’’

One plant is worth about $1000 on the street.

Cannabis growing has been “fairly consistent’’ over the years, and isn’t showing any signs of letting up.

The New Zealand cannabis market is estimated to be worth between $636 million and $1.27 billion a year, according to the Ministry of Social Development website.

Cannabis - here and abroad A n Australian study published in British medical journal The Lancet in 2012 found cannabis use in New Zealand and Australia was the highest in the world, with 10 to 15 per cent of people aged 15-64 having smoked it in the previous year.

According to the World Health Organisation, about 147 million people use cannabis - about 2.5 per cent of the world’s population.

And as the medicinal properties of the drug are being increasingly recognised, so are global movements towards legalisation.

According to the NZ Drug Foundation, scientific evidence suggests cannabis has therapeutic benefits in treating people with chronic pain, neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis, nausea and HIV and cancer-induced weight loss.

Early last month Colorado decriminalised the recreational use of cannabis, reigniting international debate about the drug’s legal status.

Colorado retailers turned over up to NZ$1.2 million selling the drug on the first day alone, and sales are expected to hit about NZ$715 million by the end of the year.

Further south, Uruguay was the first country to legalise marijuana when it passed legislation in December, and

Peru is expected to follow suit - though the drug is decriminalised in some other countries, notably Holland.

Back in New Zealand, the Class C drug isn’t likely to hit the shelves anytime soon.

Late last year, the NZ Drug Foundation’s Cannabis and Health Symposium in Auckland heard how chronic cannabis use in early adolescence can make some people up to 11 times more likely to develop schizophrenia.

University of Wollongong’s Associate Professor Nadia Solowij says memory, attention and higher cognitive functions all suffer long-term impacts from regular, heavy cannabis use.

“The longer you use cannabis and the more heavily you use cannabis, and the younger you are when you start using cannabis, the greater the changes that we see in the structure of the brain,’’ Ms Solowij said.

“The adolescent brain is more sensitive to insult from drugs, and we’ve been finding that the younger people start using, the worse the cognitive impairment.’’

A long-running study of 1037 babies born in Dunedin between 1972-1973 found an eight point decline in the IQs of some early cannabis users which was not recovered when cannabis use ceased.

In brief Ban ‘unconstitutional’ A federal judge has ruled Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, making it the first state in the traditionally conservative South to have its voter-approved prohibition overturned. US District Judge Arenda Wright Allen issued a stay of her order while it is appealed, meaning that gay couples in Virginia will still not be able to marry until the case is ultimately resolved. Both sides believe the case won’t be settled until the Supreme Court decides to hear it or one like it.

Anniversary arrests

A woman walks on a road covered with volcanic ash following an eruption of Mount Kelud, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. photo ap

Volcano erupts; 2 killed A major volcanic eruption in Indonesia shrouded a large swath of the country’s most heavily populated island in ash yesterday, triggering the evacuation of more than 100,000 people and the closure of three international airports.

Two people were killed when the roofs of their homes collapsed under the weight of the ash and volcanic debris unleashed during an explosive overnight eruption of Java island’s Mount Kelud that could be heard up to 200 kilometres away, the country’s disaster

agency said. Gray ash up to 2.5 centimetres deep covered Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, and even farther afield in Yogyakarta, where motorists switched on headlights in daylight.

In villages closer to the peak, cattle were covered in ash. lInternational airports in Jogyakarta, Solo and Surabaya were closed due to reduced visibility and the dangers posed to aircraft engines by ash, Transport Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan said. Virgin Australia said it had cancelled

all its flights to Bali, Phuket, Christmas Island and Cocos Island because of the eruption.

Indonesia’s disaster agency said tremors were still wracking the volcano, but scientists didn’t expect another major eruption. It said all villages within 10 kilometres of Kelud had been evacuated — more than 100,000 people — to temporary shelters, but that elsewhere villagers had returned to their homes to begin cleaning up.

The 1731-metre Mount Kelud in eastern Java — Indone-

sia’s most densely populated island and home to more than half of the country’s 240 million people — has been rumbling for several weeks and was under close observation.

Muhammad Hendrasto, head of Indonesia’s volcano monitoring agency, said the mountain erupted violently about 90 minutes after authorities raised its alert status to the highest level.

The disaster agency said it had spewed millions of cubic metres of debris into the atmosphere.

■ SYRIA

Failure looms – UN humanitarian chief UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos blamed the Syrian government and opposition for failing to protect civilians and said a Security Council resolution would help if it ensures the delivery of aid to millions of people trapped by the fighting.

Amos told reporters after briefing the council that she asked members “to do everything they can to use their influence” on both sides to ensure humanitarian pauses and ceasefires, regular access for humanitarian workers and written commitments to uphold international law.

“It is unacceptable that international humanitarian law continues to be consistently

and flagrantly violated by all parties to the conflict,” she said.

“All parties are failing in their responsibility to protect civilians. We understand that a war is going on, but even wars have rules.”

The Security Council has started to grapple with rival resolutions on the worsening humanitarian crisis: a Western and Arab-backed proposal that threatens sanctions if its demand for unrestricted humanitarian access isn’t met in 15 days, and a Russian text that makes no mention of sanctions.

Russia and China, which support the Syrian government, have blocked three previous Western-backed resolutions that would have pressured

President Bashar Assad to end the now three-year-old civil war.

The divided Security Council did come together in October to approve a presidential statement appealing for immediate access to all areas of Syria to deliver aid. But it has never adopted a legally binding humanitarian resolution.

The presidential statement has not delivered the results that are critically needed, and progress on the humanitarian front in the last four months has been “limited, uneven and painfully slow,” Amos said.

Russia’s UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters that discussions on melding the two resolutions had started, and “I

hope this time it’s going to be a success.”

“I wouldn’t say that we are too far apart because one thing that unites us is the realisation that humanitarian situation in Syria is very grave, and that additional efforts need to be undertaken in order to improve it,” he said.

If Russia maintains its opposition to any mention of sanctions, the key issue in negotiations will be how to give a resolution the teeth that Western and Arab nations want.

US Ambassador Samantha Power said a resolution must use levers and pressure to maximise “the likelihood of meaningful consequences on the ground.”

Bahrain says it has arrested 29 people as bands of antigovernment protesters try to converge in the capital to mark the third anniversary of the uprising in the small Gulf island nation.

Hundreds of youths are attempting to get to Pearl Square, which was a protest hub at the centre of the movement that started on February 14, 2011. The square was cleared by police raids and later razed in the early weeks of the unrest and is now sealed off by security forces. Some of the youths marching were seen carrying Bahraini flags, while others held unlit Molotov cocktails or metal rods.

New gender options With a click of a cursor, Jay Brown went from Male to Trans Male. A few states away, Debon Garrigues switched from Male to Neutral. Marilyn Roxie, formerly Female, chose three: Androgynous, Transgender and Genderqueer.

Across the US, news swept through the transgender community that social media giant Facebook had added a customisable option with about 50 different terms people can use to identify their gender as well as three preferred pronoun choices: him, her or them. And one after another, they made their changes in a quiet revolution of sorts. “For me, this is about much more than a button on a monitor,” Garrigues said. “This encourages people to think outside the binary spectrum. It means I don’t have to try to fit in the wrong boxes.”

For many others, the change went unnoticed — or too far.

Move to end protest Riot police cleared antigovernment protesters from a major boulevard in the Thai capital in a small victory for authorities yesterday as they try to reclaim areas that have been closed during a three-month push to unseat Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Hundreds of helmeted police with riot shields met no resistance as they dismantled a sprawling protest camp in Bangkok’s historic quarter near the prime minister’s office compound, known as Government House.

The office has been closed since December by protesters camped nearby. The operation came on a national holiday when offices were closed. “The prime minister asked us to deal with the protesters gently,” said Chalerm Yubumrung, the head of the government’s special command centre set up to oversee security.

Top field on the water

Mid Canterbury skier Leighton Hood has Nationals qualification in slalom and will look to gain tricks and jump qualification at this weekend’s Aquafest Tournament at Lake Hood.

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A top class field will turn out in Waterski Lake Hood’s Aquafest Tournament this weekend with skiers looking to set personal bests for Nationals and World Ranking scores, and some have national and South Island records in their sights.

Just weeks after hosting the Trans-Tasman Oz-Kiwi Challenge it is going to be another big weekend of skiing for the club, with a large number of skiers entered from Canterbury, Southland and locally.

The weather looks settled for slalom today and should continue for tricking and jumping tomorrow.

It will be a key weekend on the water for the likes of Leighton Hood, who has Nationals qualification in slalom, and is looking to gain tricks and jump qualification scores so he can compete in all three under 21 events at his first Nationals on Orakei Basin in Auckland at Easter.

The Aquafest Slalom Trophies are on the line, and should be hotly contended by some of

New Zealand’s top slalom skiers on the 11m shortening or better.

Unfortunately the repeat match up of the 2013 New Zealand Open Men’s Slalom medallists Hayden Diehl and Karl Donaldson won’t happen, with Donaldson’s leg currently in an ankle cast.

The big challenge may come from NZ junior boys slalom record holder Henley Wayne, who has moved up a class to the 58km shortenings, and now has his eye on the NZ boys’ slalom record, while senior New

Zealand record holder Gavin Green and Chris Brown are also in the mix.

Women’s and juniors slalom trophies will be keenly fought for with Donaldson girls, Rachel and Lana, and twins Hugh and George the top seeds for the events, and the novice trophy also has plenty of contenders including locals Courtney Holmes and Kristen Harris.

Consistent skiing is vital at Aquafest, with both rounds added together for skiers’ final score and placings.

■ CRICKET

India dominates on day one

BY DANIEL RICHARDSON India are in complete control of the second cricket test against New Zealand after day one at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

The visitors went to stumps last night at 100-2, 92 runs behind New Zealand’s poor firstinnings total of 192.

With rockstars Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma and skipper MS Dhoni still to come, India could post a huge total on day two with an improving Basin Reserve wicket to bat on.

India’s innings started poorly in the third session when they lost Murali Vijay for two to the

bowling of Tim Southee, but Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara (19) restored order before Pujara went late in the day, lbw to Trent Boult.

At stumps, Dhawan was not out on 71 with nightwatchman Ishant Sharma unbeaten on three.

Earlier in the day, New Zealand lost the toss and were asked to bat first on a green Basin Reserve deck.

The Indian seamers didn’t waste too much time in making their way through the Kiwi batting line-up, with Sharma looking particularly impressive as he eventually snagged careerbest figures of 6-51.

His sidekick Mohammed

Ishant Sharma took six wickets

Shami proved equally reliable as he finished with 4-70 from 16.5 overs.

New Zealand never got their innings going and their biggest partnership came for the

seventh wicket when Kane Williamson (47) and debutant Jimmy Neesham (33) added a brisk 47.

Williamson’s knock was eventful as he was caught twice but both dismissals were overturned after the bowler in question had over-stepped.

His innings was crucial though as it helped New Zealand towards 200, while Southee added 32 and Corey Anderson chipped in with 24, but it was clearly a total that was below par.

With New Zealand holding on to a 1-0 lead in the two-test series, they will have it all ahead of them during the next four days.

■ COAST TO COAST

In brief

Game plan remains the same

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Braden Currie is out to defend his Coast to Coast title today, but will need to outlast five-time winner Richard Ussher and his older brother Glen.

Braden, 27, became the youngest winner of the race last year when he overtook Ussher on the mountain run and held on for the win.

Braden will attempt the same game plan today and along with Ussher will have brother Glen chasing him down as Glen looks to better his third place in 2011.

Greg Roadley, Jeremy Savage and Mike Hanson are the other Mid Canterbury entries competing in the longest day.

The six-stage event starts at Kumara Beach in the early hours of this morning with competitors covering 243km, comprising a 3k run, 55k road cycle, 33k mountain run, 15k road cycle, 67k kayak and 70k road cycle, completed with a brief run along Sumner beach to the finish line.

The two-day competitors will be starting off in the kayak leg along the Waimakariri River after making their way to Klondyke corner yesterday.

Whichever Currie brother gets to Sumner Beach first won’t have the family bragging rights, with older sister Anna Johnson

Ashburton Guardian 23

looking to complete the two-day “long before” her brothers get there.

Johnson is on track to beat her brothers to Sumner, finishing inside the top 20 in 8:18:18 yesterday while another who hails from Methven, Hilary Totty, was second in the women’s field in 6:27:33, 19 minutes behind Fiona Dowling of Ireland with Laura Thomas of Ashburton fifth in 6:44:48.

Christchurch physiotherapist Brendon Vercoe leads the twoday individual men’s race after a cracking effort on day one.

Vercoe finished around seven minutes ahead of Byron Munro (Chch) with about another minute back to Methven’s Rob Nesbitt who clocked 5:36:15 in third.

Graham Shaw got there in 7.57.06 and Bruce Jemmett in 08:34:33.

In the two-day teams the Curries’ former mentor James Roderick, and his team-mate Joanna Williams were fourth overall in 05:33:19, and the first mixed team.

Nathan Christian and Mark Saunders were the ninth fastest men’s team in 6:32:56, Darrin Dudson and Adam Marshall were 10th a minute back with the experienced Donald Summerfield and Paddy Strange in 12th.

Cup a big challenge Generating early interest in next year’s Cricket World Cup is one of the biggest challenges facing organisers. Therese Walsh, head of the New Zealand arm of the tournament that will be co-hosted with Australia, said the next year was crucial to help promote the event. At the Basin Reserve in Wellington yesterday, members of the tournament’s organising body, former international players and Prime Minister John Key, among other ministers, were on hand to mark one year to the day till the 50-over World Cup starts. With ticket prices starting as low as $5 for children during the pool rounds, Walsh said getting youngsters excited about the tournament would be important.

Cantabs in charge The key question with two rounds remaining in the Plunket Shield is whether anyone can stop Canterbury. No side is mathematically out of the equation, given the generous point hauls on offer, and even Auckland in fifth can still claim the crown.

But it would take an incredible series of result for that to transpire, the first of which is a win in their penultimate game against Otago, starting at the University Oval in Dunedin on Sunday. After failing in their chase of 361 to beat Canterbury in their last fixture being dismissed for 296 despite Craig Cachopa’s 118 - Auckland now trail the Wizards by 30 points.

Canterbury, meanwhile, have the opportunity to create some more breathing space when they host third-placed Central Districts in Rangiora, while Ish Sodhi returns for Northern Districts as the cellardwellers welcome Wellington to Whangarei.

Braden Currie exits the river in last year’s event.

Johnson running hot

Race supremo gives Ussher the nod Former owner of the Coast to Coast Robin Judkins has spent more than three decades organising the big race, and in his annual top-10 predictions has Richard Ussher claiming a sixth win today.

Judkins noted at age 37 Ussher’s best may be behind him, while Braden, 27, is definitely an athlete on the rise but he still

picked Ussher to go coast to coast the quickest, with Braden second and Glen Currie third.

“He is a five-time champion and he’s the most experienced contender,” Judkins said.

“Braden beat him last year, but that will have only made Richard more determined to win again.

“I think Braden surprised him by attacking so early on the run.

Richard never saw him again until the finish line, but I doubt he’ll let that happen again.”

What Judkins forgets is it wasn’t the first time Currie attacked Ussher early on the run.

In 2012 Currie raced from 203rd up to the front of the field on the run, giving everyone a fright before fading on the kayak and bike legs.

James Roderick looking pensive at the start. Rob Nesbitt happy to hit the finish.

A bit of experience and a solid block of training last year had Currie blow past Ussher again, but this time he was able to hold the lead for his maiden win.

With another year’s experience Currie could be even more of a threat, improving his cycling and kayak abilities to bolster his unmatched ability on the mountain run.

Hilary Totty traverses the river.

Mitchell Johnson mauled South Africa’s top order and plucked a great catch to reduce South Africa to 6-140 at the end of day two of the first cricket Test. Johnson went from intimidatory to outright unplayable in a fiery opening spell, snaring 3-5 and making Proteas captain Graeme Smith look like a tailender.

Earlier, it took almost five hours for centurions Shaun Marsh and Steve Smith to grab the advantage with a record 233-run partnership, lifting Australia to a total of 397 and a lead of 257 when rain caused an early stumps. Johnson needed only 3.1 overs to make it a vice-like grip.

It would be unfair to suggest the left-armer continued his form of the Ashes, where he claimed 37 English scalps to be man of the series - this was more destructive. On a bouncy Centurion pitch where his slinging action had the ball travelling over 150km/h, Johnson was at his brutal best. He finished with figures of 4-51.

Ko stays in touch with lead

Rakaia’s big day March 1 is set to be a big day in Rakaia. The Ride the Rakaia cycle race sets out and the big boys roll in for the Tight Five Sevens. The Ride the Rakaia is a 102km loop course that starts by crossing the Rakaia Bridge before turning off to head for the Rakaia Gorge and back to the Rakaia township.

There is also a much shorter recreational ride totalling 22km that allows entrants to cross the bridge in the main peloton but not avoid the hard slog down and up the Rakaia Gorge. While the cyclists do their loop the big boys of rugby get their chance to be playmakers at the tight five sevens in the Rakaia Domain.

Props, hookers and locks get their chance to stretch the legs before season of being buried in the rucks. Not to be left out, the backs and loose forwards get a run in the traditional sevens tournament at the same venue.

By Daniel RichaRDson Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko has remained the near the top of the leaderboard after her second round at the Women’s Australian Open yesterday.

After opening with a four-under 68 on Thursday, the world No 4 fired the same again yesterday to take her to eight-under for the tournament and a share of fourth place alongside Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist and England’s Holly Clyburn.

There’s a collection of players yet to finish their second round at The Victoria Golf Club but there’s no doubts about Ko playing the weekend.

Whether she can challenge for the title will be the interesting question, as she is three strokes back from leader Caroline Hedwall.

The Swede shot an entertaining seven-under 65 today, which included a hole in one on the par-three 16th as she moved to 11-under for the week.

Hedwall holds a onestroke lead over Suzann Pettersen of Norway as she continued her strong showing with a four-under 68 yesterday, while Australia amateur Minjee Lee is in third at nine-under for the tournament.

Nordqvist recorded the round of the day with a blistering eight-under 64, which included eight birdies.

Ko’s second round included four birdies and fourteen pars as her ultra-consistent nature came to the fore again.

No medal for Wells With Jossi Wells’ medal hopes dashed in seconds, the freeskier made a decision common in his sport but one which bemused many new fans back home. The 23-year-old, New Zealand’s best chance of ending a 22-year medal drought at the Winter Olympics, finished 11th in the slopestyle final in Sochi. Wells qualified 10th for the 12-man final and, after an early slip-up in his first run, he needed to produce something special on his second to make his way into medal contention. Instead, Wells caught a ski on the early rail section and opted to coast for the rest of the course, declining to exhibit any of the spectacular jumps he produced in qualifying.

V8 comp ‘will be tight’ Veteran driver Craig Lowndes expects this year’s V8 Supercars championship to be one of the tightest in recent memory - making his bid for a drought-breaking fourth crown all the more difficult.

All 25 cars will take to the track for the first time in 2014 at the official test day at Sydney Motorsport Park today, ahead of the seasonopening Clipsal 500 in Adelaide in a fortnight. While the field has been reduced by three, the second season under ‘Car of the Future’ regulations heralds the arrival of a fifth manufacturer in Volvo, which returns to Australian motor racing after a 15-year absence. It joins incumbents Holden and Ford, alongside last year’s debutants Nissan and Mercedes-Benz. - AAP

Chiefs on right track The Chiefs showed they are on track this season, last night defeating the Blues 43-19 in their final pre-season match in Rotorua.

The Chiefs, strengthened by their All Blacks, dominated with good attacking rugby and showed why they are strong contenders to win a third straight Super Rugby title this year. However, Sam Cane scared coaching staff and fans when he was helped from the field in the first half with an ankle sprain.

The injury came soon after Cane scored a storming try, the third to the Chiefs. Benji Marshall, who was taken off after halftime but reappeared with 15 minutes to go, had a quiet game and looked a bit out of his depth in patches. - RDP

Chip goes oh-so-close Ashburton’s Eleanor Weir chips out of the bunker on line for the hole during the Heartland Bank nine hole golf tournament at the Ashburton Golf Club on Thursday.

with 34, also from Mayfield.

Putting had three players finish on 15 with Bev Ellery of Tinwald first by lot, Val Ferrier of Ashburton second and Weir was third.

In grade two Irene McDonald of Pleasant Point had the best nett of 31 on count-back from Marg Kearse of Temuka and Kaiapoi’s Judy Goodman third on 33.

The putting was taken out by

Ashburton’s Joan Chisnall by lot from Rosalie Chant of Coringa and Jill Paterson of Ellesmere.

The longest drive in grade one of the tournament was hit

by Ashburton’s Barbara Carter, and for the men Eddie Graham of Mayfield, and in grade two it was Annette Maw from Methven.

■ METHVEN

In brief O’Reillys in top form

Hororata comes to Methven

Huntingdon trainer Patrick O’Reilly scored a good win with the promising Never Fear in the Rose Dakin Trot at the Banks Peninsula meeting yesterday. Hitting the front as they turned for home, O’Reilly sat quietly on the Pegasus Spur-Without Fear four-year-old mare as the challenges came from all over the track, but although the margin at the line was only half a head the result never looked in doubt. Three races later brother Gerard O’Reilly brought the Tony Soal-trained Wishes Star home at the head of the field, holding out Juneamy Castleton and Brite N Early.

Colgan on winning roll

There are few better sights in racing than big fields spreading out as they turn for home on the roomy Methven track.

Methven will host a rare Friday race meet next week as it plays host to the Hororata Trotting Club.

The Hororata Trotting Club returns to its roots of grass track racing for its annual race meeting.

The club has had to look for an alternative venue to Addington Raceway, where they have raced since 2002, due to two large events taking place in the Addington vicinity on the Friday.

The Hollies will be rocking out the stage at the CBS Are-

na and the Crusaders kick off their Super Rugby campaign at AMI Stadium against the defending championship side, the Chiefs.

The logistics of holding a race meeting on the same night as both of the events were near impossible, so Hororata sought to shift their meeting, and settled with Methven.

The Mt Harding track in Methven closely resembles a return to the norm for the Hororata club, who until 1984 raced on a grass track surface of their own before shifting

to Ashburton, and then on to Addington.

Hororata club president, Bruce Hutton, said the decision to go to Methven was a simple one, once they had approval from the Methven Trotting Club to do so.

“Methven is about as close as we can get to racing at home so it was always a logical option,’’ he said.

Hutton said one of the most pleasing parts about the shift was that there was no need to make any changes to their normal racing programme, other

than shifting from a night meeting to day time, including keeping their heat of the Nevele R Fillies Series.

In a New Zealand first, the series, which has seen some of the best female pacers to grace the track compete, will hold a heat on a grass track racing surface over the speed distance of one mile. Also on offer will be the running of the Mountain River Processors Hororata Cup for a stake of $14,999.

The first race is set down for 12.25pm with free entry onto the course.

Australia beckons for smart colt Martin O’Malley is keen to follow a winning family trend with his exciting High Chaparral colt High Tec. The Levin breeder, owner and trainer has decided against taking on the best three-year-olds at home and will instead look to

the future across the Tasman.

“It would be too much of a rush for him to take on the good horses here so he won’t go for the Derby and I’ll look at the options in Australia,” O’Malley said.

“There’s a nice race or two

around for him in Sydney and then maybe he can go on to the Queensland Derby. I think I’ll be sending him to an Australian trainer, he’s ready to go and they’re better at it than I am.”

High Tec is out of the Straight Strike mare D’Accord, whose

O’Brien confident The benefit of extra muscle and the absence of a notable opponent has given trainer Danny O’Brien the confidence to tip a return to top form for Shamexpress at Flemington today. The New Zealand-bred son of O’Reilly has been unplaced in three of his four starts since winning last year’s Newmarket Handicap, a victory that earned him a trip to England. The four-year-old returns to racing in the Gr.1 Lightning Stakes (1000m) after a brief spring preparation that indicated his travels had done him no harm.

“He’s bigger and stronger than he was last year and he’s not taking on Black Caviar,” O’Brien said.

“I’m glad he’s turning up here on Saturday.” Shamexpress finished sixth to the champion mare in last year’s Lightning before winning the Newmarket three weeks later.

“I’m fairly certain he’s at his best down the straight here at Flemington, so there’s a lot to look forward to,” said O’Brien. - APNZ

■ NZ REAL ESTATE MARKET

House sales fall 17pc - prices down The number of properties sold across New Zealand fell by 17 per cent last month, with prices also falling from December.

Figures released yesterday by the Real Estate Institute of NZ show that the national median price fell $25,000 or 5.8 per cent from December. When compared to the same month last year, sales fell 4.3 per cent and median prices were up 8.6 per cent.

Auckland sales volumes plunged 21 per cent from December, with prices down 5.2 per cent.

Institute chief executive Helen O’Sullivan said there were a number of factors at play in the market during January, including seasonal factors and the ongoing impact of restrictions on low deposit lending.

O’Sullivan said the latest figures did “suggest a softening price trend, which would come as a relief to many commentators. However January data is often impacted by the seasonal mix of properties, with fewer high value properties coming to market in this month.”

The Stratified House Price Index, which adjusts for some of the mix of different houses sold in a particular month, fell 2.2 per cent compared with December last year.

Auckland wasn’t the only city to see double digit falls in the number of properties sold, with the number down 24 per cent in Wellington and 25 per cent in Christchurch when compared to December sales.

ASB economist Daniel Smith said the REINZ data was “another piece of evidence that pressures in the housing market may be starting to ease slightly.”

Activity did pick up (in seasonally-adjusted terms) after a lull in November and December.

“Sales volumes in both November and December were low, and it seems that the introduction of the RBNZ’s LVR restrictions in October may have created hesitation amongst both buyers and sellers. January data from REINZ, Barfoot and Thompson and realestate. co.nz all suggest that people are returning to the market in January. “

“The evidence suggests that annual price gains in Auckland peaked in late 2013. Since then, annual house price growth has slowed from 17 per cent to around 14 per cent. And the median days to sell a property has lengthened from 30 to 34 - the longest since April 2012,” said Smith.

“If sustained, that points to a further slowing in price growth

over coming months. Average days to sell have also eased in other regions, but not to the same extent.

The exception appears to be Wellington, where lower days to sell point to a tightening in the housing market (although price growth remains very low for now).”

Smith said that with growth and inflation picking up, an

OCR hike in March looked “a near certainty.”

“The question is how rapidly rates will rise from there. A slight easing in housing market pressures suggests that house price growth may undershoot the Reserve Bank’s most recently published forecasts.

“We continue to expect a fairly gradual cycle of OCR increases.”

■ IN RECEIVERSHIP

■ RIO TINTO

Shivram owed $1.6m to bank

Outlook for aluminium positive despite drop

BY CHRISTOPHER ADAMS

The company that runs the Nando’s restaurant network in New Zealand had defaulted on royalty payments and owed $1.6 million to its bank when it went into receivership late last year, according to the first receivers’ report.

And the report also suggests the receivers are close to finalising the sale of the firm.

Auckland-based Shivram, which has held the local master franchise for the 31-store spicy chicken chain since 2006, went into receivership on November 29 - the same day the Business Herald revealed the company was copping flack from a number of disgruntled current and former franchisees.

They said a lack of national marketing was stifling the chain’s growth and that several franchisees were owed substantial sums of money on loans they provided to the franchisor.

Nando’s stores in New Zea-

land, which are independently owned, are not in receivership and continuing to operate as normal.

In the report receiver Kare Johnstone, of McGrathNicol, said that in the lead up to the receivership Shivram had defaulted on royalty payments due to the master franchisor for the region - Nando’s Australia - and had been issued with a breach notice under its franchise agreement.

The company owed $1.6 million to Heartland Bank at the time of the receivers’ appointment and interest was continuing to accrue on that amount, she said.

In December Shivram’s sole director, Shailen Ramjee, said he and Heartland had agreed on the receivership, which would “protect the assets so that everyone can be paid” and avoid the franchise agreement being terminated by Nando’s Australia.

At that time Heartland’s

chief risk officer, Mark Mountcastle, declined to reveal how much the bank was owed by Shivram.

Johnstone said that in addition to Heartland, chicken supplier Tegel Foods and Stratton Consulting had registered financing statements against Shivram.

Tegel had been repaid prior to the receivership, she added.

Johnstone said the receivers were still evaluating the amount claimed by unsecured creditors at the time of the receivership.

“Until the conclusion of the sale process the receivers are not in a position to determine what funds might be available to meet unsecured creditor claims,” she said.

Jonhstone said a current statement of assets and liabilities for Shivram was not available and McGrathNicol was still working to finalise the company’s financial position.

BY JAMIE GRAY International mining giant Rio Tinto, the ultimate owner of the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter, says the outlook for the metal is positive despite a 9 per cent fall in spot prices over 2013.

Rio’s aluminium division, Rio Tinto Alcan, this week reported underlying earnings of US$557 million for the year - US$503 million higher than in 2012 and that margins had improved.

“Market premia on aluminium shipments have continued to perform strongly during 2013,” Rio Tinto said in its financial report.

Salt Funds Management managing director Matthew Goodson said Rio Tinto’s comments on aluminium showed that the market may be over the worst.

“And that of course has major implications for New Zealand because of the major swing fac-

tor that it has on electricity demand,” Goodson said.

In August, Tiwai’s operator, NZAS, and Meridian Energy confirmed the renegotiation of a long-term electricity supply agreement.

The deal involved the Government making a one-off payment of NZ$30 million to Rio. The smelter is still operating at less than full capacity but NZAS had signalled there was potential to reinstate the fourth aluminium potline this year.

In its financial report, Rio said the 2013 cash London Metal Exchange aluminium price averaged US$1845 per tonne, a decrease of 9 per cent on 2012.

“Despite this, the overall demand for primary aluminium was healthy,” Rio said.

A significant portion of aluminium inventories remain locked in financing deals and so unavailable for immediate physical delivery.

Awards still courting controversy Coen Lammers EDITOR

A

nother year of Halberg Awards and another year of contention.

Golf sensation Lydia Ko this week claimed the ultimate award in New Zealand sports but many have already questioned the decision of the jurors.

Judging the Halberg Awards is an impossible task because it is extremely difficult to determine which performance is superior between different sports, and the competition the athletes are competing in.

Nobody will begrudge Lydia the supreme award, on top of winning the Sportswoman of the Year title, because of her achievements but also due to the way the 16-year-old represents herself and her country in front of the cameras.

Lydia Ko is mixing it with the best in her sport at a young age and with her relaxed, upbeat manner and her Korean background, the teenager is a wonderful ambassador of a modern, multi-cultural New Zealand.

We all hope Lydia is merely at the start of her fantastic career, and her biggest successes are still ahead of her. With that in mind, questions have to be raised whether her performances in 2013 genuinely exceed those of world champions like Valerie Adams, Lisa Carrington, Indy champion Scott Dixon or the all-conquering All Blacks.

The 2014 Halberg Awards have been an interesting competition because many of the finalists would have been worthy winners and few could argue that any of the recipients did not deserve their statue.

The All Blacks and coach Steve Hansen were the frontrunners in their category, but slightly surprising Kieran Read did not manage to complete the trifecta.

Sophie Pascoe was also a popular choice in the disabled category, but you have to feel sorry for fellow swimmer Mary Fisher who also collected a bag of gold medals last year, but had the bad luck to be competing in the same era as the disabled superstar.

Finally, it was nice to see the Black Sox receive the People’s Choice trophy for their sixth world title, recognising this amazing feat ahead of other more high-profile moments like the All Blacks or America’s Cup.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Do you believe the CDHB should do more to deal with patients waiting for surgery?

Yes 100%

Felicity-Stacey Clark FOOD FOR THOUGHT

M

y first experience of a culture totally different to any experience I had had before came years ago during an unscheduled stopover at Singapore.

The airline put us up in a hotel, but I had no intention of missing out on the aromas, the sounds, and the activity I saw from the window.

So I went out and walked for most of the night, snacking here and there on the delicious smelling food from the market stalls.

I didn’t have a clue what I was eating most of the time.

The only thing I drew the line at was chicken feet.

I don’t even like the look of them when they are firmly attached to the chook.

Over the years that experience set the scene for eating lots of things which I probably wouldn’t otherwise have tasted.

Now, I can’t say that the Multicultural Bite on Waitangi Day had quite the same ambience.

But it’s the only day of the year when homogenised white middle class Ashburton meets the world.

I love it, and I still find myself eating my way round, and loving what I taste.

I love the music, and I love the children in their costumes.

But where are these friendly smiling faces on the other 364 days of the year?

CONTACTS

Multi Cultural Bite a celebration of cultures.

How inclusive are we?

What do we do to make newcomers feel welcome?

Very little, according to those I spoke to.

Do we invite newcomers to our homes, our barbecues, our kids’ birthday parties?

One of the most painful experiences I had years ago, was when a car pulled up my drive.

The occupants took one look at the brown faces inside, turned round and drove off without even speaking.

I tried to control my fury, and my visitors asked if they should leave.

I insisted they stay put.

Eventually the awkwardness lessened.

But to me it was a horrible and humiliating experience.

The sense of shame I had, to think Kiwis should behave like this, was something I will never

forget.

I’ve moved around a fair bit, lived in a lot of places.

One of the joys of moving is meeting new people.

In almost all places I’ve lived, neighbours have been very friendly. They’ve come to introduce themselves, offered help, sometimes scones.

We’ve never lived in each other’s pockets, but have always passed the time of day when we met, handed over a few spare lemons, fed each other’s cats, or whatever.

Much as things were in Ashburton when I was growing up here.

We knew everyone in the street. When new people arrived we made ourselves known.

Some lifelong friendships were forged.

I’ve encountered a few civil

defence emergencies here and there.

Knowing who’s in the neighbourhood can also be invaluable.

Sometimes that knowledge has saved lives.

I loved the Multicultural Bite. I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve been to.

I took aboard the disappointment some of those attending expressed to me, that it was a shame the business houses chose to piggyback on the event, and thus split the money going round.

These small community organisations only have the one day of the year in which to raise funds.

Surely the businesses can cope with the remaining days of the year, and of course Boulevard Day? Sounds fair to me.

Time to make time for the important things

H

ere we are halfway through February.

Hasn’t the first six weeks flown by.

Holiday time is a great time to forget all of our worries and concerns as we enjoy the company of our family and friends.

As the holiday draws to a close we start to plan our year ahead.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

more step up the ladder, adults returning to work or a new job, new career or even a new town or city.

We start planning our work schedules and our social events.

The wall planner on the wall or on the fridge sees our lives becoming as busy if not more busy than last year.

Partly because we’ve had some time away from our usual schedules, and partly because we just threw away an old calendar and got a new one, in the New Year we often find ourselves thinking about our lives in “big picture” terms.

Throughout the year we easily get caught up in the detail of our day-to-day busyness, and it is possible to lose a broader perspective in the midst of the demands in front of us.

The New Year is a time to

SUE PRENDERGAST FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE BEST RESULT 0273 228 422 sue@mcgregorrealestate.co.nz

zoom out and think in terms of years rather than days or weeks.

I think that at this time it is important to make room for God in our lives.

We need to take time to thank him for all the good things that have happened to us over the past year.

We need to discuss our plans and aspirations with him and take time to pray, meditate and worship him.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) With Venus now in the final weeks of an epic 4 month visit to your career sector it’s all about trusting your heart, professional desires and your gut.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) It may be the weekend and with playful lunar vibes in play you should have your professional hat off, but that’s unlikely to be the case.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) You’ve had a chance to get a sense of what the coming professional year holds, with a chance now to rethink your choices and options.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Where financial tensions have built up slowly ahead of this weekend’s Full Moon, once things are out in the open they’ll quickly dissipate.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Falling at the halfway point in your current solar year, this weekend’s Full Moon is a reminder of the intentions made at your last birthday.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) This weekend’s Full Moon brings a reminder to stop and smell the coffee, especially with life only getting busier over the coming weeks.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) This weekend’s social and serendipitous lunar vibes will trigger the laws of synchronicity, with your hunches putting you in the right place at the right time.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Falling in your career sector this weekend’s Full Moon may bring work/life balance issues to a head, but then you can’t change what you can’t see.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Falling in an adventurous part of your chart, this weekend’s Full Moon is likely to both waken a sense of wanderlust and challenge your excuses.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) As income and financial forces clash during this weekend’s Full Moon, despite any financial tension this will give both sides a push start.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Your birthday month reaches a point where you’re being challenged to ensure you’re not asleep at the wheel, moving forward on autopilot.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) In the lead up to the Sun’s return to your sign next week, kicking off your birthday month and new solar year, find time to hear yourself think.
