Big plans for Allenton medical hub

BY TONI WILLIAMS

TONI.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A new two-storey Allenton Medical Centre complete with pharmacy, radiology services, physiotherapy and 40-space carpark is proposed for the southern end of Allens Road.

The site chosen has been identified as big enough to handle current patient demand, but also future growth.

A Resource Consent Application has been lodged with the Ashburton District Council.

Neighbours in the immediate vicinity of the proposed site at 7–11 Allens Road – those “potentially affected by this proposal” - have been canvassed for comment.

They have received detailed information on the proposal from lawyers acting for South Link Health Services.

“South Link are currently looking at redeveloping the site at 7-11 Allens Road for the purposes of a new Allenton Medical Centre,” the accompanying letter said.

The centre is being developed in conjunction with the existing Allenton Medical Centre.

Plans, obtained by the Guardian, included background information, as well as future intentions.

Under future plans the Allenton Medical Centre, with its six current doctors will move to the new premises and at least one other sole practitioner will merge with the clinic.

There will also be weekend emergency clinics, as was current practice.

date short-term locums, specialists and student doctors as required. The staff numbers for the medical centre included eight full-time doctors, 4.7 nurses, 9.8 support staff, a locum, a physiotherapist, a radiologist and a pharmacist.

It proposed operating hours from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.

The Allens Road address is currently the site for MediFab which operates a manufacturing, refurbishment, import and distribution business, specialising in medical equipment.

The site had been used as such since before the Ashburton District Plan was notified in 1995.

Prior to that, the area was zoned Industrial B under the Ashburton Borough District Scheme.

Fourteen-year-old Serenity Timothy, getting her hair shaved by Megan Roberts, drew members of the Ashburton community together with music, food and goodwill on Saturday in an effort to raise money for a three-year-old boy called Eddie who is battling cancer.

Serenity lost her father to cancer, and more recently an aunty, and wanted to support the toddler going through his own cancer journey. She organised the hair shave event at the chessboard on East Street.

Despite the rainy conditions she raised more than $1600 in the hair shave, through a donated cake raffle and sausage sizzle on site.

Son for Mid Canterbury captain Mid Canterbury captain Jon Dampney celebrated the birth of his son, George Ethan, with partner Hayley Bennett on Friday night. He was two weeks overdue but in plenty of time to be able to take the field against Wanganui and lead his side to a 30-14 victory.

Dampney had been on ‘standby’ the previous two weeks as Mid Canterbury travelled firstly to Masterton and then Paeroa, playing in both matches- a draw and a loss respectively - as George waited until the eve of the fourth round home game to arrive. George could be a bit of a good luck charm with his arrival preceding the Hammers’ win over fierce rivals for shut the fourth time in 13 meetings.

The couple wed at St Luke’s Presbyterian Church, Remuera, before being scooted off in a convoy of BMWs to dance the night away at the multimilliondollar mansion of New Zealand’s richest man Graeme Hart. About 200 friends, family and an array of Kiwi celebrities were there included Jaime Ridge, former cricketer Martin Crowe, TV personality Jason Gunn and comedian Jeremy Wells.

“The boys in black are about to do the walk ... The Great Gup is getting hitched any minute now ... “ Crowe wrote on Twitter. Black Caps star Ross Taylor was best man, and Gretchen Hawkesby, Hart’s daughter, was a bridesmaid.

■ ASHBURTON VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE

Station officer role for Jeff

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton is home to one of the country’s busiest volunteer fire brigades and soon, they’ll get a much needed boost in numbers.

Five new firefighters will join the ranks at the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade, taking the total number of firefighters turning out for the brigade to 35.

It’s not the only change for the brigade though. Growing call-out numbers means more firefighters are needed, but a growing brigade means more leaders are needed.

So long-serving volunteer Jeff Marshall has just been elected as a station officer. He’s traded in his old yellow helmet for a shiny, new red one. Red helmets are worn by the highest ranked officers, and in Ashburton that’s chief Alan Burgess, deputy chief Graeme Baker, senior station officer Alister Kenny, and the now four station officers Murray Cairns, Chris Price, Robbie Maw and Marshall.

Last year, the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade surpassed 450 call-outs for the year. The year before they attended 372.

It’s a big workload for a team of volunteers but it was hoped that workload would be shared by

an extra five volunteers by midOctober.

Mr Burgess said approval had come through from the New Zealand Fire Service for the five extra volunteers and interviewing was currently under way. They had had no trouble finding willing volunteers.

That’s not a surprise to Mr Marshall. He’s been a volunteer with the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade for 28 years and for him, being elected station officer was just the next step in his career.

“I’ve been there for a long time and you slowly work your way up the ranks, and I had sort of acted as station officer at times in the past anyway,” Mr Marshall said.

“There will be some extra responsibility and some extra work and that sort of thing, but I’ve always been reasonably active in the brigade with different things anyway.”

When he first joined 28 years ago, the brigade had only 21 members and they attended 130 to 150 call-outs a year. With the growth in numbers had come a wider variety of call-outs, with more road crashes and medicals attended now than in years gone by.

The hut settlement was originally part of Mt Possession Station and the deed changing its ownership to the council was undertaken to ensure the land was available for the enjoyment of the people of the Ashburton District. The first bach was built in 1920.

■ STUDENTS AGAINST DRIVING DRUNK

In brief

Students urged to make safer choices

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) will be taking their driver safety message into the community this week as they challenge their peers to make safer choices on the road.

It is part of the SADD nationwide Remember September campaign with a variety of road safety events being held.

Ashburton District Council road safety co-ordinator Aileen Campbell said research showed young drivers had a high risk

of being in a serious crash.

Across Canterbury, drivers aged 15-24 were at fault, or part-fault, in nearly 30 per cent of all serious injury and fatal crashes (2009-2013), despite making up just 20.54 per cent of the driving age adults.

Miss Campbell said the age group often had passengers of a similar age who were also injured so the total cost of ongoing rehabilitation was correspondingly high.

She said young men experienced the highest level of risk.

“SADD do very important and effective work as peer edu-

cators across New Zealand,” she said. “Their key messages are positive and the organisation empowers young people, to work to change attitudes and behaviours around driving.”

The students at Ashburton College had planned for a crashed car to be staged on the Ashburton College chessboard today. It would be adorned with crosses to represent the young people who had died on the roads.

The Ashburton Public Library will also feature a SADD display during the week.

Miss Campbell said later in

the week the student welfare committee would eerily host a SADD Day where they planned to dress in black with painted faces to represent road crash victims.

“They will have a large pledge banner against drink-driving which students will sign, a sausage sizzle and bracelets for sale and an obstacle course for students to do while wearing fatal vision goggles,” she said.

There will also be posters up around the school with quotes from school leaders and statistical information on the risks young drivers faced.

Two call-outs The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade attended two call-outs over the weekend. The first was a false alarm call to Talleys at 12.28pm on Saturday. The other call-out was to extinguish two drums of rubbish burning on Melrose Road, Allenton, at 10.32am yesterday.

Breast cancer help Mid Cantabrians able to spare some time are asked to volunteer for October’s annual New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation pink ribbon breast cancer awareness campaign. Volunteers are needed for the street appeal on Friday, October 10 and 11. During the campaign, a team of specialist breast care nurses will travel the length of the country in a Pink Caravan. It will stop in small towns so the nurses could give breast health advice to women – no appointment was necessary. The caravan will be in Ashburton on November 19.

Wanaka fatal Police have not ruled out that a man struck and killed by a car in Wanaka on Saturday night was lying in the road when he was hit.

The man, a Dutch tourist, was killed almost instantly. An ambulance was called at 3.27am and staff requested a rescue helicopter, but the man died before the helicopter could arrive. - APNZ

Birthday assault

Cafe operation back on board By sue neWman

sue.n@Theguardian.co.nz

A café planned for Ashburton’s art and heritage centre will soon be looking for a lessee.

As owners of the centre, the Ashburton District Council is about to seek expressions of interest in running the café after a plea was made for it to be leased, fitted out and ready to trade when the complex opens later this year.

The future of the café was raised by Ashburton Art Gal-

lery curator Shirin Khosraviani, when she presented a six monthly report on the art gallery’s performance to district councillors. She asked whether it had been let and if not, were there plans to have it let before the complex opened.

No one had any answers, and mayor Angus McKay asked for a report on the café’s future to be prepared by council staff.

Finding a tenant for the café has fallen to commercial manager John Rooney who is the

Ashburton

council overseer of the art gallery and museum project.

Finding a tenant, however, may not be a simple job because of the tight rules placed around its hours of operation and the way in which it can trade. As part of securing sign off on the complex’s resource consent, the operation of the gallery became a sticking point with objectors.

To expedite the granting of the consent, the council agreed that there would be no outdoor seating area around the café

and no street side signage. It also agreed that the café would only be open when the complex was open.

It is a small area on the West Street side of the complex and it has yet to be fitted out.

The main focus for council had been on ensuring the building was completed on time and to the required standard, but with close to completion, the café could come back on the drawing board, Mr Rooney said.

A young man suffered multiple facial fractures when he was assaulted after a 21st birthday party at a Christchurch cricket club early yesterday morning. The 22-year-old was found injured outside the Sydenham Cricket Club rooms at 4.57am, police said.

The man was conscious and breathing when he was taken to Christchurch Hospital in a moderate condition.

Chris Cairns stared down his former New Zealand team-mates plenty of times in the nets but next year could face up to 12 of them in court as he defends perjury charges.

A dozen former New Zealand representatives Andre Adams, Nathan Astle, Shane Bond, Stephen Fleming, Chris Harris, Hamish Marshall, Brendon McCullum, Craig McMillan, Kyle Mills, Daryl Tuffey, Daniel Vettori and Lou Vincent - could be called as witnesses.

It was revealed on Friday Cairns will be charged with perjury relating to his successful defamation case against Lalit Modi, the former boss of the Indian Premier League.

Anyone called to the stand will be testifying before a captivated cricketing world, an audience larger than any they played in front of.

Deliveries of a 156g red or white leather sphere that could bruise bodies and egos will, within a year, morph into questions and answers that decide whether Cairns, a New Zealand cricketing great, is convicted for perjury, a crime which carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison in Britain.

The circumstances are well-documented. The perjury charge stems from a High Court libel trial in London when Cairns won damages of 90,000 pounds and costs against Modi.

Modi had tweeted the reason Cairns had been expelled from the now-defunct Indian Cricket League was because of match-fixing. Cairns left the ICL’s Chandigarh Lions in 2008.

Housing. The lack of rental housing in the district with some high rental prices, is making rental accommodation pretty unaffordable.

Education. The new IS scheme proposed by National, its cost and the effect on the teaching profession are of concern. John Key says it’s about the children but the millions of dollars would be better spent in a different way.

Poverty. Ashburton’s growing population has seen an increase in poverty levels in the community, which has been evident in an increase in crime.

■ DAIRY COWS AND MYSTERY ILLNESS

Variety of swede identified A mystery illness associated with swede crops killing dairy cows revealed by the Guardian last week, has identified the HT variety of swedes is in the majority of cases.

Southland veterinarians continued to be at the forefront dealing with the animal health issue as the problem, so far, has only been found in Southland and South Otago.

However experts fear it could be more widespread, possibly in Canterbury, and even in the North Island to a lesser extent.

Farmers with concerns should contact their vet.

Dr Mark Bryan, of the New Zealand Veterinary Association, said information from PGG Wrightson confirmed the veterinarians’ initial suspicion that the HT variety of swedes was linked to the majority of cases.

But vets would continue to work closely with Dairy NZ and other rural health professionals to further understand the cause and give advice to farmers.

Dr Bryan said veterinary practices in Southland first no-

ticed unusual signs of liver disease in autopsies of cows on swedes back in July. They then investigated unusual cases in the winter prior and worked forward, collecting blood and post mortem samples to get a complete picture.

“We have been finding significant liver and sometimes kidney damage in many cases,” he said, of the ongoing investigations.

“We have collected huge amounts of data from over 40 farms and are now helping DairyNZ to get more of the answers

we need to address this problem,” Dr Bryan said.

Symptoms for cows that had eaten swedes in the region included photosensitivity, weight loss and/or ill thrift.

There was increased mortality and animals appeared to be more susceptible to other diseases.

Dr Bryan said they were monitoring farms to determine any chronic or long-term subclinical effects.

“If symptoms appear we encourage farmers to stop feeding swedes to their cows and

to provide an alternative feed, along with water and shade for any animal showing signs of photosensitivity, and to contact their vet.

“We are also suggesting that if farmers are concerned, they get a proportion of their cows’ blood sampled to determine the extent, if any, of liver damage.”

Dr Bryan said Southland veterinarian practices were working together and had helped set up a working group which would be led by DairyNZ.

■ BATTLE OF BRITAIN SERVICE

Remembering the historic Battle of Britain

BY TONI WILLIAMS

TONI.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Cantabrians yesterday commemorated the Battle of Britain at a special church service at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

The Ashburton Air Training Corp (ATC) was on parade at the service attended by around 50 people.

St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church ministry assistant Dellwyn Moylan said the Battle of Britain Sunday commemorated the great victory won by the Royal Air Force, which saved Britain from invasion in 1940.

From early July of that year through until October British troops were bombarded in attacks on Britain soil, designed to “draw the air force into battle and wear down its strength”, she said.

The attacks reached a climax on September 15.

Sir Winston Churchill called it “one of the decisive battles of the war”, said Ms Moylan.

The parish was approached last year by ATC to hold a service to make the importance, and significance, of the occasion.

The theme for the service was Remembering the Story. It included the Ode to the Fallen poem.

■ SURVEILLANCE CLAIMS

■ WINZ TRAGEDY

PM waits for spy claims Prime Minister John Key says he will not release documents that show that spy agencies do not conduct mass surveillance on New Zealanders until after journalist Glenn Greenwald tries to prove there is substance to the claim.

And Mr Key said that Government agencies such as Treasury or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade were targeted by cyber attacks every week, and needed the protection of the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB).

Greenwald is in New Zealand for tonight’s Moment of Truth in Auckland, hosted by Internet Party founder Kim Dotcom.

Greenwald has had access to leaked documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden, and he says he will

release a report that would show the GCSB has been conducting mass surveillance on New Zealanders – a claim Mr Key strongly denies.

“There’s no ambiguity. No middle ground. I’m right. He’s wrong,” Mr Key said.

He said Cabinet signed off a proposal for the GCSB to investigate a business case for widespread cyber protection of New Zealand entities, but he personally stopped the work in March last year because he thought it was a step too far. “In the end, that never even got to a business case.”

Mr Key said he would declassify documents to show the proposal to look at the business case, the decision to rescind that, and what the current programme is – but he would wait until after tonight’s event.

School takes part in civic service Allenton School Year 6 students (from left) Jack Gibson, Megan Harrison, Emily Milner and Harry Preston came to Thursday’s Winz shooting civic service with spring flowers they hoped to give away after the service. Principal Graham Smith said that like all schools, his students had been part of the drama around the shootings and the search for an offender, with the school going into lockdown for the remainder of that day, September 1. Staff had handled the emergency situation extremely well and in the days after on the advice of psychologists, the event had been talked about in a factual way with students, he said.

Health care stepping up in Allenton Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

A

shburton is unique, it has two factions competing to be the first to bring the community a health hub.

In a district where accessing a doctor, knowing where to go for medical treatment and understanding that most kinds of surgery necessitate a trip to Christchurch, anything that will improve the current situation is a winner.

The first medical complex was signalled in March last year, for land on West Street, but this was shelved when the Canterbury District Health Board floated its proposal to build an Integrated Family Health Centre in Ashburton Hospital’s grounds.

This proposal came on the back of the demolition of the earthquake-damaged hospital out-patients’ area. The proposal was to build a centre that would accommodate several doctors and health professionals. People liked the idea. It would be a one- stop shop, with radiology and a laboratory just a short walk down the corridor.

While those plans are still just that, a second proposal has been put forward, one that will see the Allenton Medical Centre relocating to Allens Road, expanding and creating its own one-stop health hub.

The concept’s exciting and the plans are bold. They’re well developed, well supported and the argument is based on logic.

While the CDHB has been slumbering, the Allenton team has been moving and they’ve stolen the march. The plans have been lodged for a resource consent, neighbours have been approached, the site all but secured and it’s as close to a done deal as you can get without signatures on the dotted line.

The project in some ways won’t bring a new player onto the primary health care scene as it is the relocation of an existing medical centre, but in other ways it is much more – more doctors, more nurses, a greater range of services and most importantly better access to health care for the community.

YOUR VIEW 100% pure rubbish The three protagonists in the TV3 leaders’ debate somehow forgot that voters live in Earth’s life-supporting biosphere, not an economy. Whether it’s the “arctic methane bomb”, the rapid acidification of the oceans, or apocalyptic flooding, climate change is the biggest threat confronting voters this century.

The Climate Change Performance Index, a tool designed to enhance transparency in international climate politics, in 2013 rated New Zealand 39th overall (and declining) among 58 countries and bottom-equal for its national climate change policies.

John Key must be held accountable for these ratings.

Regrettably, David Cunliffe missed an opportunity to remind voters that John Key has utterly reneged on his 2008 “50-by-50” election pledge (gazetted) to halve New Zealand’s emissions from 1990 levels by 2050 by putting New Zealand firmly on track since 2008 to treble them by 2025 (official MFE estimates reported to the UN).

The “100 per cent pure” brand that New Zealand’s exports critically depend on is pure rubbish, not only reflected in the country’s heavily polluted lakes and rivers but also in its cynical and shameful response to climate change under a National government.

ll around, the Kingdesignate surveys his subjects and lays down the conditions by which - after September 20 - he will graciously condescend to rule them. His new “Constitution” is even now at the printers, while the members of his Court gather for his inspirational call to arms. Can it really be that Winston is about to conquer that Everest of political peaks and become the de facto head of Aotearoa, New Zealand?

The bauble to beat all others.

Yes, it’s a breath-taking prospect. Surely the ageing wizard of the one-liner should have receded into the shadows of Back Benches long past. But no, there he is still, that creased smile playing about his leathery lips, staring down the meddling media brigade and, as ever, getting great satisfaction from doing so.

To gain his favour he has ordained that Labour must scrap its Capital Gains Tax and any suggestion of altering the qualifying age for the OAP while, on the Right, in return for a royal seal of approval, National will be obliged to return to the State the assets it sold. Who will blink first? Will there be any of that modern essential, namely, “wriggle room” which allows “promises” to be later “adapted” and “principles” “adjusted”. It’s an altogether thrilling scenario, which has the “electorate-at-large” on the very edges of their laz-y-boys and the media salivating uncontrollably. As Wordsworth commented on another occasion some years ago, it is, indeed, “a great time to be alive”. (or words very much to that effect).

The fact seems to be that at Election time people of a certain age - and younger - turn to the Ancient Warrior under the impression he will turn tides, supply more all-round benefits and put an end to the petty squabbles of his rivals. It’s an impression - even if only fleeting - that can’t possibly be bought. With, perhaps, seven

or eight acolytes behind him, probably on the cross-benches, he really will be able to dictate the rules of the game. However, to do that, he must also see off the Young Pretender, Conservative Colin Craig, who may now be harder to budge than anticipated. His appeal is not immediately obvious but seems to be measuring in the daily polls. Of course, cometh the hour, both these would-be history makers may mysteriously vanish in the haze to resume their long-held roles

of pinpricks to the main body politic. Such is the uncertainty of this particular game.

Meanwhile - and significantly - the Greens, acknowledging the dire straits in which their partner of choice, Labour, finds itself, are busy softening their attitude to National in surely the forlorn hope of offering Mr Key an organic carrot. Could it be that the Greens, seeing the progress the Maori Party has made by supporting National, is prepared now to do the same rather than face eternal oppo-

sition? Principles are fine but never to have the chance to put them into effect is the ultimate frustration. Perhaps Russel and Metiria are preparing to accept reality.

So the lines are drawn, the leaders’ “debates” meander on, the winners and losers according to the eyes and ears of the beholders. Now all that’s left, the “bombshell threatened by the Big German. The hope must be it turns out to be the dampest of squibs. God Defend New Zealand.

■ AUSTRALIA

In brief

600 Aust soldiers to Iraq Prime Minister Tony Abbott is warning Australia’s involvement in the Iraq conflict could last many months after announcing the deployment of 600 military personnel to tackle Islamic State extremists.

Combat aircraft and special forces advisers will be sent to the United Arab Emirates as part of an international coalition, with Australia receiving a specific request for support from the US government.

Australia’s contribution will include up to eight Super Hornet combat aircraft, an early warning and control aircraft and aerial refuelling aircraft.

A contingent of Special Forces will be sent to potentially act as military advisers to Iraqi and other security forces.

The commitment was a “balanced and proportionate contribution” to the fight against

■ AUSTRALIA

Islamic State (IS), the prime minister said yesterday. However, it did not mean Australia was going to war in Iraq.

A decision had yet to be taken to commit to combat operations against IS militants, he said.

“Nevertheless Australia is prepared to engage in international operations to disrupt and degrade ISIL because of the threat that this murderous death cult poses not just to the people of Iraq, not just to the people of the Middle East but to the whole world, including to Australia,” he said in Darwin.

News of the deployment comes days after US President Barack Obama ordered a “relentless” war against Islamic State, including air strikes in Syria and expanded operations in Iraq to “destroy” the jihadists.

Mr Abbott warned that should Australia join the fight against IS, the operation could go on for “quite some time”.

“Months rather than weeks, perhaps many, many months indeed,” he said.

“Air elements” would depart in the next week, while “military elements” could leave sooner, he said.

The prime minister announced the deployment following a meeting of the national security committee and cabinet, and in the wake of international outrage at the the beheading of British aid worker David Haines.

Mr Abbott’s reaction to the beheading - the third in recent weeks - was one of “shock, horror, outrage and fury”.

“The evil and exaltation in evil that was yet again on display today, should make all of

us more resolved than ever to do whatever we reasonably can to disrupt, degrade and if possible destroy this movement,” he said.

Labor gave bipartisan support to the deployment, but the Greens condemned it as mission creep after Australia’s involvement in aid drops and weapons deliveries to Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq.

Opposition leader Bill Shorten described the murder of of David Haines as “shocking and sickening”.

“Australia has a role to play in eradicating this evil and we are reassured that our support is being provided at the request of, and in full coordination with, the Iraqi Government,” he said.

Greens leader Christine Milne said the prime minister was “blindly” following the US into another war in Iraq. - AAP

A Malaysia Airlines flight which was forced to turn around because of an auto-pilot defect, has landed safely. The incident yesterday happened after the loss of two planes earlier this year.

Flight MH198 from Kuala Lumpur to Hyderabad in India departed late on Saturday, but the Boeing 737-800 turned back due to an auto-pilot defect. It landed back in Malaysia’s capital almost four hours later after circling to burn fuel in the air.

Ferry sinks Three people are confirmed dead as rescuers search for at least three more after a ferry sank in heavy seas off the central Philippines.

At least 110 people have been rescued after the Maharlika II ferry foundered at the weekend, said President Benigno Aquino’s spokeswoman Abigail Valte.

Confusion surrounded the number of people aboard the stricken ferry, Valte said. She said rescue boats were still searching for survivors at the scene of the sinking, about six nautical miles from the small island of Panaon, about 680km south of Manila.

Bus plunge kills 16

A bus has smashed into a bridge and plunged into a river in India, killing at least 16 people after the driver lost control of the vehicle, police say. Another three people were in critical condition after the bus, carrying 35 people, veered off the bridge in the mountainous northern state of Uttarakhand. The accident occurred in Juyalgarh village, some 150km from state capital Dehradun.

Show ride closed after girl dies A second ride has been shut down at the Royal Adelaide Show, where an eight-yearold girl was tragically flung to her death. The Royal Adelaide Show has closed the Traffic Jam ride in the Kids Carnival area after a height restriction breach was identified.

The safety breach was discovered on Friday, the same day an eight-year-old girl on holiday from Malaysia was thrown from the Airmaxx 360 ride.

She was rushed to hospital with critical injuries but died a short time later.

SafeWork SA officers increased the number of inspections and compliance checks at the show following the accident.

Witness Malinda Dunwoodie, 17, said the girl’s safety harness was still on, but it looked as if she slipped out of her seat.

“She was hanging by her legs off the ride, trying to block herself. She went flying through the air about 10-15 metres up in the air and I started sprinting towards her,” she said. “I was shaking so much, she looked like a doll flying through the air.

“It was so shocking. It was like a horror movie.”

The Airmaxx 260 was a new ride for the Royal Adelaide show this year, but operated at earlier shows in Sydney and Brisbane without incident.

Flight turns around

Building collapses Seventeen people have been confirmed dead in a building collapse at the church complex of one of Nigeria’s most famous preachers and televangelists.

Ibrahim Farinloye, southwest co-ordinator for the National Emergency Management Agency, said another 124 people have so far been rescued from the rubble in the Ikotun area of Lagos.

The building, thought to be a guesthouse for foreign members of TB Joshua’s The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), collapsed at the weekend. Early indications suggested building work to add floors to the twostorey facility caused the disaster.

Shock at father’s death

19 killed in Peru Psychologist Anthony Kidman and his daughter, actress Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman has flown home to Sydney to be with her grieving family following the death of her father in Singapore.

Husband Keith Urban was

by Nicole’s side when she arrived from the US yesterday, Fairfax Media reports.

The couple went straight to the family’s home on the lower north shore to be with Nicole’s mother Janelle and sister Antonia, who arrived from Singapore on Saturday.

Dr Antony Kidman, 75, the esteemed Sydney-based clini-

cal psychologist, died from an apparent heart attack on Friday morning in a restaurant at the exclusive Tanglin Club.

Dr Kidman was in Singapore to visit his younger daughter Antonia, her husband Craig Marran and six grandchildren.

After early morning exercise he went to the club’s Wheelhouse restaurant, where he suffered an apparent heart attack and was later pronounced dead in hospital.

As Antonia flew to Sydney, her husband had the difficult

task of going to the mortuary at Singapore General Hospital and speaking to local police and undertakers.

Oscar-winning Nicole and Antonia have over the years publicly pointed to their father’s strength and emotional support during their own personally difficult times.

Nicole’s publicist and friend Leslee Dart said Nicole and her family were in shock at his sudden death. Country singersongwriter Urban cancelled an upcoming US concert to be with his wife.

At least 19 people have been killed in Peru when a small bus taking them to a religious festival plunged 200 metres off a mountain road, police say. They said 12 other people were injured in the accident at the weekend in the southeastern Apurimac region on a treacherous section of highway known as “the seven turns”. “So far, the 19 victims have been recovered and the injured are being taken to the regional hospital,” police captain Fernando Bolanos said. The bus was carrying passengers from Puquio to the town of Chalhuanca to attend a religious festival near Cusco known as the Lord of Huanca, which each year draws thousands of pilgrims from around the country.

Monday, September 15, 2014

In most corners of the world, an Ashburton person can be found. So the Guardian’s Erin Tasker decided to track some of them down. This week it’s Brendon Argyle who is in Australia helping to raise much-needed funds for some of the world’s biggest charities.

Sydney is home for Brendon I

f there’s one thing that Brendon Argyle has learned on his travels, it’s that Ashburton people are everywhere.

Brendon currently lives in Sydney, where he works for one of the biggest fundraising companies in Australia, but over the past few years he’s experienced a lot of the world.

A well-known radio DJ in Ashburton in days gone by, Brendon first moved to Christchurch before deciding to head to America to work in a summer camp, with intentions to follow that up with a ski season in Canada, another summer camp and then the stereotypical “Kiwi in the UK thing” and then head home.

He went to Canada, but ended up in the UK earlier than expected, thanks to a girl. They travelled, and the most memorable experience was attending the 2009 Anzac Day service at Gallipoli with a former Ashburtonian, Kelly Osborn.

He knew at least one other Ashburtonian – Alena Keating – was going to be there so wasn’t surprised to see her.

“I was surprised though after the dawn service to walk around a corner and run in to her flatmate, also from Ashburton, considering the thousands of people there at the time the chances were fairly slim.

“Later whilst waiting together to be collected by the bus I was relaying the story to another friend on the tour and said ‘the thing about being from Ashburton is you always seem to run in to people from Ashburton. A person not from our group sitting to my left piped up, ‘I’m from Ashburton’.

I asked ‘what’s your last name?’ and she answered Murdoch’. I said ‘ahhh, you’ll be Arlene’s sister then?’,” Brendon said.

She was.

He also ran into the sister of his babysitter from eight years earlier, at Gallipoli.

“Another time I was in Dublin for an All Blacks game and ran in to Wal Carr at St James’ Gate brewery, and another local at a pub - a guy called Adam Thomson. He was there on work, but not required for the game itself !

“It’s funny how we Ashburtonians get about the place. You’ll always run in to someone. I thought it only happened at Riccarton Westfield, but it’s an international thing.”

He travelled around Italy, France and went back to America, and eventually found him-

with Brendon Argyle in Australia

self in Sydney for nine months, where he played cricket, went to the beach and did the typical Australian thing.

That was followed by a brief stint back at home before the desire to rejoin his cricket team took Brendon back to Sydney, where he said he managed to talk his boss into offering him a management role in a new company he’d joined. He’s been there ever since.

He’s a senior manager for one of the biggest fundraising companies in Australia.

“I have worked with charities like UNICEF, Oxfam and Amnesty International to raise the funds they need to do the work they do around the world.

“My role is fun and rewarding

“

Brendon Argyle and his partner Angela.

raised over $20 million for the charities we support. It’s the most cost effective way for charities to raise their profiles and funds so I am very lucky to get to do something so enjoyable and know it helps so many others.”

I think growing up in somewhere like Ashburton prepares you to be able to meet people and be open and friendly

as I work mostly with young travellers and enthusiastic people that get to do something pretty fun each day. We talk to strangers and have passionate, inspiring conversations.

“To date my teams have

He enjoys Sydney, but it’s a lot less personal than what he grew up with.

“I don’t think I could walk down the street in Ashvegas now without bumping in to at least one person I know.

“Sydney’s a lot busier and there’s certainly a lot more to do. The wages here are a lot higher than anything I could earn back home. That coupled with the earthquake were probably my main drivers for staying here in Sydney/Australia initially.”

But he’ll always have fond memories of Ashburton.

“I think growing up in somewhere like Ashburton prepares you to be able to meet people and be open and friendly. I had some great teachers that I credit with helping me become who I am today - Mrs Hill, Mrs O’Halloran and Mrs Judkins all spring to mind. I think AshColl certainly gives you a solid base to start from.

“I think one of my favourite things was how the young and older generations mix in Ashburton through sport. We all just wanted to play.

■ GERMANY

Grandaddy of extreme travel

He’s got a hearing aid and a replacement knee, but Ruediger Nehberg doesn’t let these and his long years hold him back when it comes to extreme travel.

H

e has crossed deserts, jungles and oceans alone, wrestled pythons and survived 25 armed robberies. In his native Germany, veteran adventurer Ruediger Nehberg is better known as “Sir Vival”.

At age 79, the globetrotter looks back at a life spent in some of the world’s most inhospitable corners and keeps plotting new journeys, refusing to let his hearing aid or replacement knee slow him down.

Germany’s grandaddy of extreme travel - who has traversed Ethiopian deserts and Australia’s outback on foot and crossed the Atlantic on self-made vessels – now focuses his energies on defending the rights of Muslim girls.

Reflecting on a life he never really expected to last this long, he has some advice for couch potatoes – that going to the very limits “for me has been a life philosophy, it has enriched my life immeasurably”.

Nehberg, who imagines his guardian angel as bruised with tattered wings, jokes that he embarked on his first adventure at age four when he wandered

He’s Germany’s grandaddy of extreme travel and is always on the go, not letting his age become a restriction. Frank Zeller managed to pin him down long enough recently to interview him. off to visit his grandmother but spent the night sleeping in a park instead.

“My mother later blamed me for at least one of her stomach ulcers,” he says with a chuckle, sitting at a campfire he started with a flintstone on his forested lake property in Rausdorf outside the northern port city of Hamburg.

As a baker’s apprentice in the 1950s, gripped by wanderlust, he cycled to Morocco to learn the art of snake charming – leading to many more long-distance bike trips and a lifelong passion for snakes.

Soon he eyed a more serious adventure: the first expedition to take a boat down Ethiopia’s Blue Nile, a dangerous whitewater torrent that churns through steep canyons and bandit-infested desert lands.

A first attempt in 1970 failed with the boat snared under a tree, but the second time they made it. On a third journey, to

film the river’s giant crocodiles, a gunman’s bullet took the life of Nehberg’s friend Michael Teichmann.

For Nehberg, the personal tragedy was a wake-up call on the need to take the scout motto “be prepared” to a whole new level.

He embarked on gruelling fitness workouts and practised bushcraft, navigation and medicine but also more esoteric skills such as prison escape techniques and magic tricks.

Nehberg wrote down his collected wisdom in the 1979 book The Art of Survival that spawned countless TV specials and youth programmes, and is still used by the German armed forces.

In the 1980s Nehberg set off in search of Brazil’s reputedly fearsome Yanomami Indians, heading into the Amazon with little more than a pair of shorts and a harmonica to signal that he did not represent a threat.

“Suddenly, three of them stood in front of me, their arrows lowered – a good sign,” he remembers. “That was the moment I had feared for months, when I had asked myself whether the first contact would be an arrow in the stomach.”

Nehberg was invited to the village and would keep coming back, making 15 trips to the Amazon and becoming a passionate activist against the gold prospectors who encroached on Yanomami lands, poisoned their rivers and brought diseases.

“Suddenly, the journeys were no longer an end in themselves, but about helping people who are threatened,” he wrote later.

Nehberg produced books and TV programmes, lobbied the World Bank and the Vatican, and staged ever more spectacular adventures to highlight the cause.

In 1987 Nehberg, who claims to be “water-shy”, crossed the Atlantic in a modified pedal

boat. To prepare, he trained with German navy divers who tied him up and threw him into a pool until he passed out.

Two more trans-Atlantic trips followed, on a modified tree trunk and a bamboo raft. In 2000 Brazil granted the Yanomami what Nehberg terms “an acceptable peace”.

Since then, the adventurer and his human rights organisation TARGET-Ruediger Nehberg have returned to many of his former adventure playgrounds, building clinics in the Amazon and Africa.

The group’s declared goal now is to end the practice of female genital mutilation, which Nehberg describes as the “worst civil war of all times – society against its women – with 6000 victims a day and many deaths, for the last 5000 years”.

He said he plans “one or two more big things” for the cause, but prefers to keep his ideas under wraps.

“You’ll hear about it, it’ll be a real blast,” he says, the passion in his eyes leaving little doubt that he’s serious.

Development win The Mid Canterbury Development squad secured their first win in fine fashion, beating Canterbury Maori Development 48-7 in the curtain raiser at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday. All three Mid Canterbury age group sides were outclassed by South Canterbury. At Allenton Mid Canterbury under 18s went down 15-39 while down in Timaru the under 16s were edged out 18-24 and the under 14s beaten 12-50.

Mid Canterbury players featured in the weight grade Hanan Shield XV matches against Canterbury Metro at Allenton. Canterbury Metro were too strong in the under 65kg, winning 45-0, but a late try sealed a 21-20 win for the Hanan Shield team in the under 48kg match.

Wingers moving in The last time Mid Canterbury wing Brenton Connell shared the playing field with Wanganui’s Lasa Ulukuta they were the starting wingers for the New Zealand Heartland XV in 2008. On Saturday Ulukuta came on as a replacement prop.

Back then Ulukuta played for the West Coast as a wing but his shift to Wanganui in 2009 started his move from the wide out flanks to the engine room. Ulukuta first moved his big frame into the loose forwards but has this season been turned into a makeshift prop. Mid Canterbury’s Seta Koroitamana started on wing, scoring the Hammers’ second try, and moved into flanker during the game, as he has in recent weeks, but will not be seen in the front row anytime soon.

Shield stays in the Bay Hawkes Bay banished the bad memories of last year’s brief Ranfurly Shield reign by blowing away Otago yesterday to retain the Log o’ Wood. In a match featuring plenty of fireworks but none of the drama often associated with a challenge, the Magpies scored five first-half tries in a 41-0 victory to ensure the Shield could be locked away in the McLean Park trophy cabinet for another week. That security was something they failed to achieve in 2013, holding the prize for six short days after taking it from Otago.

Waikato sneak home Waikato kept their ITM Cup Premiership playoff hopes alive with a nervy 26-21 win over Counties Manukau in Hamilton yesterday. After cruising with a 19 point lead with 14 minutes to go, Waikato hit the self-destruct button and very nearly replicated their last minute loss to Tasman last weekend. Hooker Loni Uhila was shown a yellow card in the 66th minute and Counties scored two converted tries in his absence, before going close to scoring a Hail Mary, length of the field try with the final play of the game.

The bonus point win means Waikato keep pace with Auckland in fourth place and the first half performance will fill coach Johnny Walter with optimism heading into the second half of the season.

Fullback Wharenui Hawera had an exceptional game, and his line break in the first minute where he fended, wrestled and stepped his way through five Counties defenders to set up the first try. - APNZ

Defence gets Hammers home

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury had to grind out a 30-14 win over Heartland Rugby Championship rivals Wanganui at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday.

The Hammers rediscovered their defensive tenacity, but had to rely on the boot of Murray Williams for 20 points as the visitors applied plenty of pressure of their own.

Mid Canterbury struggled for momentum with the Wanganui defence pushing up hard, sometimes too hard with the biggest cheer of the day reserved for the yellow card to Wanganui’s Lindsay Horrocks for his side’s repeated infringing.

The Hammers were still able to create opportunities, scoring two tries, but they again let some go begging with pushed passes.

When they did get into enemy territory they more often than not came away with points,

with Williams doing the honours on six occasions - hitting the post once from a long range effort.

Williams may have done the scoring, but the Hammers’ defence was the player of the day.

Mid Canterbury were asked plenty of questions from an experienced Wanganui forward pack intent on keeping it tight in the greasy conditions, and although their rolling maul was effective the Hammers kept them in check.

They were able to continually deny the visitors, who enjoyed the greater margin of territory and possession, except for one lapse in the second half - when Wanganui was down to 14-men.

It may not have been flashy but it was the type of effort coach Glenn Moore wanted to see.

“You should have to grind every win out,” Moore said.

“It was a massive step up in the contact area and the defence

from where we have been at in recent weeks.

“We showed good character and that the attitude was back to where we expect it to be.”

He was a much happier man this week after a rare win over Wanganui, just the fourth time in 13 meetings, to get their Meads Cup defence back on track after a draw and a loss on the road.

A strong run from flanker Gary Redmond produced the opening try with Williams converting before his first of six penalties made it 10-0.

Wanganui’s Josh Hamilton returned fire and after Redmond was yellow carded for a heavy tackle Hamilton closed the gap to four points only for Williams to land a second penalty for a 13-6 halftime score.

The sides traded penalties to start the half and when Horrocks was sent to the bin Williams kicked another penalty for a 22-9 lead before Rema Sagote

went over for the visitors to close the margin to eight points with 17 minutes to play.

After landing his sixth penalty of the day Williams then laid on the second try, spying space in behind the Wanganui defence and the speed of Seta Koroitamana did the rest, outsprinting everyone to score the try in the 67th minute, and what was the final scoring act of the match.

The win came at a big cost with centre and Heartland XV representative, Dwayne Burrows, lost for the season with a knee injury, joining Andrew Letham in the casualty ward.

His absence will see a reshuffle to the backline, and a test of the squad’s depth, for this week’s crunch clash with unbeaten competition leaders Buller in Ashburton.

Mid Canterbury 30 (Seta Koroitamana, Gary Redmond tries; Murray Williams con, 6 pen) Wanganui 14 (Rema Sagote try; Josh Hamilton 3 pen) H/T 13-6

Buller knocks South Canterbury off top spot

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Unbeaten Buller went to the top of the Heartland Rugby Championship with a 19-10 win over the previously unbeaten South Canterbury in Westport on Saturday.

Buller had plenty to play for with long-serving flanker Luke Brownlee playing his record breaking 138th consecu-

tive match for the province, the 34-year-old’s 163rd cap.

Despite the loss South Canterbury still remain second on the table after four rounds.

Mid Canterbury banked the four points with a 30-14 win over Wanganui but with four of the other five sides in the top six also claiming wins they remain in sixth place.

Last year’s cellar dwell-

ers both picked up away wins over teams that featured in the Meads Cup semi-finals last year.

Last year’s wooden spooners, Poverty Bay, remain in third after they stunned Wairarapa Bush 23-10 in Masterton. Poverty Bay had been embarrassed 0-71 in preseason by the Bush but produced an 84-point turnaround to claim the four points.

Horowhenua remain in the

top four after a 19-17 win over West Coast in Greymouth. The visitors raced to a 16-3 lead and held on to leave the West Coast without a win after four rounds.

Thames Valley kept hold of fifth with a 21-8 win over last placed East Coast, while North Otago suffered a second straight defeat as King Country came up with the upset of the round winning 17-14 in Oamaru.

Top spot likely for Lydia The consistency that has carried Lydia Ko to third in the world looks like it will lift her to top spot sooner rather than later. As Ko has demonstrated time and again during her young career, the 17-year-old rarely falls out of the running while playing on the biggest stage. That has again proven true at the Evian Championship in France, where Ko carded a three-under par 68 in the second round of the year’s final major to preserve her record of never missing a cut on the LPGA Tour. Ko was chasing history overnight - aiming to become golf’s youngest ever major winner - but she also has her eyes on the world No 1 ranking. Even if she failed in her quest, Ko will not be kept from the front of the field for long.

Tournaments looming Mid Canterbury 11th grades’ Hayden Dove (above) prepares to slam a left foot volley into the back of the net during the PreSouth Island Football Tournament at a rain-soaked Ashburton Domain on Saturday.

It may have been damp and

cold, but it was still a good warm up for the upcoming South Island tournaments, with games from 10th up to 16th grade boys’ and girls’ matches at both the Domain and Argyle Park.

For some teams the day was

the last hit-out ahead of the South Island tournaments in the school holidays, starting September 28 with the 10th and 11th grade boys’ in Nelson.

From October 7 the 14th grade boys are in Dunedin and the girls are in Christchurch,

while Methven hosts the under 17 girls.

The 12th grade boys and girls are in Blenheim, 13th grade boys will be in Queenstown and the 15th and 16th grade boys travel to Timaru – all starting on October 9.

City boss Pellegrini slams referee

By Ian WInroW Manuel Pellegrini has accused referee Mark Clattenburg of costing his Manchester City side victory following a 2-2 draw away to Arsenal.

Pellegrini insisted a series of major decisions went against the Premier League champions at the Emirates Stadium, claiming there were fouls in the build-up to both Arsenal goals.

The Chilean added visitors City were denied a clear penalty when the ball struck the hand of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.

And the manager also compared Clattenburg’s performance to his display in City’s 3-2 defeat at Liverpool last April when Pellegrini again condemned the referee’s decision-making.

“I think that both Arsenal goals were very clear fouls - for the first one, it was two or three fouls continuous fouls on Sergio Aguero and the second one

Danny Welbeck pushed Vincent Kompany with no intention of playing the ball and then it was a goal,” Pellegrini said.

“The only other doubt is that we were denied a clear penalty for a handball.

“Last season, it was Martin Skrtel with a fist for Liverpool in the six-yard box and today (Saturday) it was Jack Wilshere with two hands on the ball inside the box right in front of the linesman and no penalty is given.

“He (Clattenburg) had a very bad game, he had a bad day today and he had another against Liverpool last season.

“Arsenal scored both goals with fouls. Of course he (Clattenburg) cost us victory.”

Aguero put City ahead midway through the first half but Arsenal recovered with goals from Wilshere in the 64th minute and Alexis Sanchez ten minutes later before Martin Demichelis levelled six minutes from time.

City coach Manuel Pellegrini

Both teams start their Champions League group campaigns this week, with City at Bayern Munich and Arsenal travelling to Borussia Dortmund.

Pellegrini revealed he rested Yaya Toure after the midfielder returned from international duty with Ivory Coast in anticipation of City’s trip to Germany.

“Yaya arrived on Friday after a long trip and we have another

difficult game on Wednesday and I don’t think we have a problem replacing him with the players that played today.”

Meanwhile Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger handed an Arsenal debut to Danny Welbeck following the striker’s STG16 million move from Manchester United.

Welbeck was unable to mark his first appearance with a goal, hitting the post with an early chance, and Wenger admitted it would take time for the forward to bed in.

“He did well.

“I believe he needs to build up his link play with our players but that is normal.

“It was sad that he couldn’t take his chance but every time he had an opportunity to develop his pace, he looked dangerous.

“There were some things he needs to work on to integrate with our game but he looks dangerous.”

■ V8 SUPERCARS

In brief

Whincup rules Sandown

By Ben McKay Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell have crushed allcomers to the Sandown 500 in emphatic fashion.

The pair led from pole and were never seriously challenged to cap a momentous day for Holden drivers.

The leading four cars were Commodores, underlining their dominance of the V8 Supercars competition.

James Courtney and Greg Murphy took home second place after a dogged pursuit while team-mates Garth Tander and Warren Luff completed the podium.

After taking pole on Saturday, it became clear that only a driving error or strategic blunder could stop the Red Bull Racing car No.1.

Dumbrell built an impressive lead after starting well from the grid, handing over to Whincup after 85 of the 161 laps.

crash on lap 133 set the stage for a 22-lap sprint finish to the endurance classic.

But Whincup was spared a challenge to his lead with lapped cars between himself and Courtney denying car 22 a clear run after the re-start.

The endurance win is an in-

credible 10th race victory for Whincup in a V8 Supercars championship in danger of becoming a procession.

In an already accomplished season for Whincup, he and Dumbrell have also scrubbed two long-standing records.

Their back-to-back tri-

umphs are the first at Sandown since Greg Murphy and Craig Lowndes in 1996 and 1997.

They are the first pairing to win from pole in 18 years.

Holdsworth - who was able to walk away from his high-speed crash - was one of three retirements in the 500 kilometre race.

James Moffat was forced to retire after his pit team was unable to detach the fuel hose from the No.360 car.

Ford’s Mark Winterbottom lost considerable ground in the championship, finishing 10th after a lapse in concentration from co-driver Steve Owen.

Similarly, Volvo team Scott McLaughlin and Alexandre Premat fell short of their expectations to finish eighth after being trapped in the pit lane by a stacked car.

Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards rounded out the Holden top four, with emerging Ford driver Scott Pye and co-driver Ash Walsh best of the rest in fifth.

Key forward Drew Petrie, who kicked four goals in North’s sixpoint win in their knockout semifinal against Geelong last Friday night, says a sense of self-belief is growing for the Kangaroos. After qualifying for the AFL’s top eight in sixth spot, the Kangaroos have beaten seventh-placed Essendon in their elimination final which was North’s first finals win since 2007.

Coach Brad Scott has declared the Kangaroos aren’t finished yet, and Petrie says that the players are buoyed by their coach’s positive message ahead of their trip to ANZ Stadium.

■ BOWLS

Rained off David Muir, Larry Neal and Linton Muir rolled up to the bar, rather than on the greens at the MSA Bowling Club on Saturday. The opening weekend of the outdoor bowls season was a wet one, with the rain putting a dampener of the start of the new season and sent the bowlers inside to enjoy a beverage, with the rolling up on the greens having to wait for a finer day.

PHOTO GINA BUCKLEY 130914-GB-087

Mayweather wins Champion Floyd Mayweather has carried his unbeaten streak to 47 straight fights with a unanimous decision victory over Argentine Marcos Maidana in their 12-round rematch.

Mayweather, who hasn’t lost a fight since the 1996 Olympics, improved to 47-0 as two judges scored it 116-111 and the third had it 115-112 for the champion, who was a heavy favourite coming into yesterday’s bout after winning the first fight by a majority decision in May. The fight was held up momentarily in the eighth round when Mayweather complained that Maidana bit him on the wrist.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) There is a sense of rebellion in the air as you wake up to a case of Mondayitis and to the fact that life is more than going through the motions.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Having the Moon in your income sector during Mars’ first full day in your financial sector creates some financial tension, but a lot of motivation.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) While today’s stars may bring any personal and/ or relationship tensions to a head, this is a timely chance to ensure you’re aware of a need for balance.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) As Mars fires up your drives, passions, fighting and competitive spirit in his first full day in your work sector, avoid developing a super hero complex.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) This is a good day for income and work matters but matters of the heart and romantic and creative passions grab your attention.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Pay attention to work/life balance tension, seeing this as a chance to give anything stuck on the home or professional fronts a push.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) As communication and relationship forces come together refuse to hide behind old excuses. Declare war on blocked communication lines.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) While there may be financial tension today, it will keep you on your toes as you gain a real chance to smash through any glass ceilings.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) You’ve woken to warrior energy and passion flowing through your system for the first time all year. Stop sleepwalking through life.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Rather than fight today’s languid vibe, embrace it, with life giving you permission to move over into the slow lane.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) You’re able to channel your competitive drives into personal and professional networking, while still retaining your professional edge.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) As your professional passions and fighting spirit kick in and new doors open on the career front start the week as the fresh start it really is.
