ECan call hits BCI plans

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Future growth of the Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation Scheme looks likely to be halted by Environment Canterbury’s decision on plan changes to the Hinds plains catchment.

The Variation 2 plan changes relating to the Hinds catchment were announced last week.

The plan was put in place to deal with the over-allocation of

nutrients in particular nitrogen, as required by the National Policy on Fresh Water Management.

Both BCI and Rangitata Diversion Race Ltd (RDRL) have consents to expand operations in the district.

However, as of Monday BCI customers will only be able to use water until the company’s consent runs out in 2018.

“What it essentially says is BCI can no longer continue to ex-

pand in that zone; we don’t completely understand or agree with the rationale used to come to that conclusion,” BCI chairman John Wright said.

“The key question appeared to focus on whether BCI was part of the existing environment, as opposed to the RDR schemes – which have clearly been there much longer,” Mr Wright said.

“That’s where questions will need to be asked and it should

become clearer over the next few days.”

BCI delivers about 35 per cent of the scheme’s current water allocation into the Hinds plains area.

“The other side of the equation for BCI is that our business strategy has been to build in significant over-capacity in the pipe networks,” Mr Wright said.

“While we are delivering a fixed volume now, we have a massive investment in the network, which

is not fully utilised at this stage, and this decision would suggest it could never be fully utilised.”

The commissioners’ decision is final, subject to High Court appeals – which can only be made on points of law.

“We have to liaise with the other parties involved and make a decision whether our issue is significant enough to challenge the commissioners’ ruling,” Mr Wright said.

What caused the 5km sewage overflow?

cuisine from around the world.

Whatever the cause, the sewer lines were under huge stress and that meant an emergency call-out to clear a blockage Mr Eyberg said appeared to stretch for around five kilometres.

It took about five hours to clear the blockage and an area of the Havelock Street footpath was closed off for most of the afternoon.

The problem appeared to have been caused when lateral lines connected to the main sewer were overburdened.

And as raw sewage spilled on to Havelock Street and down Somerset Lane, it also

The link between Ashburton’s hugely successful Multi-Cultural Bite festival on Saturday and a sewer overflow on Monday might be too close to ignore, says Ashburton District Council projects and operations manager Viv Eyberg.

When raw sewage started bubbling out of a manhole on Havelock Street on Monday afternoon, Mr Eyberg found himself wondering if the cause could have been the sudden increase in material finding its way into the sewer network after the Waitangi Day event.

This saw thousands of people pack into Ashburton to try

The unexpected street cleanup had another sequel yesterday with ACL staff back on site taking a camera eye view of the underground system to identify any areas where there were leaks or cracks in the sewer network.

Once this work was completed, Mr Eyberg said he would consider putting a new line down Somerset Lane to replace the aged laterals.

■ METHVEN EXTRAVAGANZA

Methven booked out for wedding

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

A luxurious wedding with international guests in Methven at the weekend raked in an estimated $200,000 for the town.

And the wedding showed the potential of the town to host such events, say Methven operators.

A Singaporean business couple, who are based in Sydney and partown a Rakaia Gorge country estate, married on Saturday in front of their approximate 150 guests who had travelled from overseas.

Most were wealthy Singaporeans or Singaporean ex-patriates

living in Australia, as well as from other countries including Ireland and Scotland.

They booked out town venues including Brinkley Resort, some flying in from the airport by helicopter, and they also booked out The Blue Pub for the Friday night, where they held a pre-ceremony rural-themed party. The party included sheep racing outside the front of the pub and frozen-chicken curling in a bar garden.

The Blue Pub owner Trev den Baars said the sheep racing, held after organisers contracted an independent operator, had been a

hit. “Many of the people hadn’t actually seen a sheep in their life, let alone that close up. It created a lot of enjoyment,” Mr den Baars said.

Organisers had given each of the guests an animal onesie to wear and everyone was divided into teams which were allocated a sheep each.

Mr den Baars, who organised the curling, believed the competition, which involved a frozen chicken and a sheet of polystyrene, was the first such event in New Zealand.

Party guests had come back to the pub on Sunday morning for

back in winter to ski. The number of weddings being held in Methven was growing and the busy weekend was representative of the town’s potential to host such events.

Methven resident Jan Dynes was helping organise the wedding and agreed on the potential for Methven to hold such events.

“It was a fantastic two days for them all,” she said.

The wedding itself was held on a hill at the Montrose Estate in the Rakaia Gorge, of which the couple are part-owners.

“It was a beautiful sight.”

Brinkley Resort owner Paul Creswick accommodated about 90 wedding party guests at the resort, alongside guests from two other wedding parties, one from Christchurch and one from Australia, in town at the same time.

The Singaporean party were “well shod”, and he estimated they would have brought at least $200,000 to town. All had been full of praise for the beauty of Methven and the wide range of activities it offered, and wished to return, some planning to come

■ MID CANTY RURAL SUPPORT TRUST

Trust’s role better understood – Baird

By NadiNe Porter

■ ALLENTON PRIMARY SCHOOL

Primary pupils tackle first aid Allenton School Year 6 students will be good to have around in an emergency after learning basic first aid skills yesterday.

St John’s Shayne Cockburn is pictured showing one class how to do the recovery position with the

help of Year 6 student, Josh.

Year 6 teacher Kerrin Lester said several classes participated in the sessions and learnt about different types of injuries and general treatments as well as some bandaging methods.

Increasing utilisation and understanding of the role of the Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust is a positive story coming out of the dairy downturn, according to manager Sue Baird.

Mrs Baird believed increasing usage was due to better awareness of the services the Trust offered, rather than an indication of the general wellbeing of the sector as a whole.

Last year’s dramatic dip in farm gate returns had not yet abated with most farmers making significant losses. This has put pressure on all services involved in the dairy industry, she said, including tanker drivers, vets, bank managers and accountants.

“You’ve just got to remember all these people – it just goes on and on. We keep a watching brief over everyone and respond to everything that is reported to us.”

While the trust was providing invaluable support this season Mrs Baird urged neighbours to continue to keep a vigilant watch over the fence, and think about how they could offer support if they think it’s required.

“It could be as simple as offering to look after their property for a day or two to let them get off the farm for a break.”

Some neighbours of those struggling might be in a position to offer free usage of a holiday home they own.“Getting away from it can provide clarity and clear the head.”

Last week Ashburton Presbyterian Support manager Jackie Girvan said she was seeing signs

Jackie Girvan there could be individuals and families facing a bleak future as dairy farm employment contracts were terminated, in order to cut costs.

This was coupled with DairyNZ chief executive Tim Mackle warning decreased pay-out will cause an overall reduction of around $800 million to the sector.

“That means $67,000 less in cash revenue for the average farm producing 150,000 kilograms of milksolids.”

He said health and wellbeing of farmers could be affected.

“Many will have to pick up extra work on their farms. Some will be looking for off farm opportunities. They will be looking at all their options and banks will be joining in those conversations.”

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

In brief

District plan a fore runner By suE nEwman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When Ashburton signed off its district plan in August 2014, it was one of the first local authorities in New Zealand to get its second generation plan across the line.

And today, being proactive and tackling its district plan review before most other local authorities, put the district well ahead of most parts of the country in the government’s drive to encourage councils to create smaller housing lots to improve housing affordability, council senior plan-

ner Ian Hyde said.

Christchurch city is part of a government appointed independent housing review that will test the public’s willingness to consider planning changes that would allow smaller sections and infill housing.

Ashburton’s district plan has already been through a lengthy review process that rewrote rules around subdivision sizes in different zones, Mr Hyde said.

“What we’ve come up with will take Ashburton well into the future,” he said.

There are now four residential

zones in Ashburton. Residential A is in the town centre and this has no minimum lot sizes and creates an opportunity for developers to build apartments.

The Business A zone also allows for inner town living on the first floor of a commercial premise.

While apartment living had yet to make its mark in Ashburton, at least two planned inner town developments have apartments included in their concept plans.

Medium density housing lots down to 280 square metres are allowed in a residential B zone, lots down to 360 square metres

in residential C and down to 4000 in residential D. Those zones were not achieved without a lengthy round of community consultation that resulted in many submissions to the council.

“That certainly meant our plan evolved a lot through the process, but from our point of view it now seems to be working well,” Mr Hyde said.

Infill housing on larger inner town sections, had been big business in Ashburton for several years and showed no sign of slowing, he said.

Eight Ashburton College Year 13 students have a busy year ahead of them after being chosen as house captains.

The captains were chosen by their peers during a leadership camp at Living Springs last week.

The group will have to organise all house activities including sports, athletics and house assembly as well as rally their troops and try to encourage more pupils to get involved.

Unusual sight A father and son out for a spot of fishing in the Ashburton River came across an unusual sight on Sunday. In the south branch of the river, near Thompsons Track, was a fuel tank. Methven Police senior constable Mike Seque said the trailer the fuel tank had been on, was not there. “It’s been on a trailer and unbolted and tied to a tree, and the tank’s been pulled off and they’ve taken the trailer away,” he said. The fuel tank did not match the description of any taken in local thefts recently, he said. Police are investigating.

A strong 5.7 magnitude earthquake has rocked central New Zealand. It was located 45km southeast of St Arnaud, Nelson with a depth of 65km at about 1.38pm today. A Central Fire Communications spokeswoman said there were no reports of injuries or damage to buildings.

People have reported feeling the slow rolling quake in the lower North Island and upper South Island.

Singles looking for love have sold out the Hinds Young Farmers biennial speed dating event this weekend.

A few weeks ago the event was looking like being critically short on a vital ingredient – men – but after a bit of publicity, men started snapping up tickets, one of the organisers Andrea Fox said.

“They came flooding in and we ended up having a waiting list for the guys,” she said.

“And I’m still getting phone calls.”

It means that, come Saturday night, 40 blokes and 40 women will rock up to the Ashburton Raceway hopeful of finding love in a series of two-minute speed dates.

It’s open to singles aged 18 to 30, and they’re not necessarily farmers, or from Mid Canterbury.

“They are coming from all over the show. I’ve had to post tickets to Balclutha, the West Coast, Cromwell and Kaiapoi,” Ms Fox said.

“I think most of them are possibly off farms, but they might not be.”

“The purpose is not as much a fundraiser, as it is about getting people together, because people on farms do struggle to get out and meet people when they’re working all the time.”

With the speed dating event in hand, organisers have now turned their attention to the after party, which is open to anyone.

New funding process spelled out By suE nEwman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

More than $1.3 million is given away by the Ashburton District Council in community grants and funding each year, but this year, the process to secure a share of that funding has changed.

To ensure the organisations that rely on those grants were aware of those changes, the council held a series of meetings where the new funding process was carefully spelled out. And those meetings attracted a turnout of more than 100 people, council community relations manager Vincie Billante said.

“The meetings were about transparency and equity and

people knowing we had a clear process. We’ve had really positive feedback,” she said.

The council has changed the application timeframes for community grants and funding and five categories - arts and culture; sports and recreation; economic development and events; community projects; and natural and built environment – will close on February 29. Funding will then be approved or declined by July 1.

Bio diversity and heritage grants are the only categories that will have two application options during the year.

The council has established a grants and funding subcommittee to oversee the decision making

process and this replaces the six committees that were used previously to decide on individual category applications.

“The biggest change for the groups is that they’ll need to have a focussed plan as all applications are made in February,” Ms Billante said.

“Most of the agencies we’ve spoken to have been pretty comfortable with this and they’ve been assured they’ll have all the help they’ll need. Our big push is that we hope people will ask for help early on.”

The council has also made the reporting process for successful groups clearer and easier to follow.

Madness, mayhem and crazy hats were the order of the day at the Hotel Ashburton over Waitangi weekend when the Mad Hatter turned up for a tea party.

Staff turned up in fancy dress and hotel general manager Paul Inwood transformed into the Mad Hatter who provided entertainment for dozens of youngsters.

The event was so successful, Mr Inwood said, that it has earned itself a place on the hotel’s annual calendar of events.

“We decided to do this as a different way to encourage families out to the hotel and it certainly became a bigger event than we anticipated. We had to stop selling tickets,” he said.

The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party saw children treated to face painting, pony rides and a host of other entertainment while parents were able to sit back and relax, Mr Inwood said.

A focus for the hotel was encouraging families to share the facilities and part of this was its regular Sunday Splash event based around the hotel’s pool and restaurant.

However, nationwide values have risen 12.6 per cent over the past year and 0.7 per cent over the past three months.

They are now 34.2 per cent above the previous market peak of late 2007. The average value nationwide is now $556,206.

Home values in Christchurch City rose by 1.7 per cent over the past three months and 2.7 per cent year on year and values in the city are now 27.6 per cent higher than the previous peak of 2007.

The average value in the city

is now $484,118. Values in the Selwyn District rose 2.3 per cent over the past three months; while values in Waimakariri were up 1.3% per cent over the same period.

The only parts of the South Island to show a decrease in residential property values over the past three months were the West Coast districts of Buller (down 4.8 per cent); Grey (down 6.0 per cent); and Westland (down 2.4 per cent) and also the Hurunui District where values decreased by 2.4 per cent since November.

Summer is generally when the Ashburton Rural crew’s volunteer firefighters are at their busiest fighting the district’s unwanted vegetation fires.

But not this year.

More than a month into 2016, they’re yet to attend the year’s first vegetation fire.

Ashburton’s principal rural fire officer Don Geddes said to not be called to one vegetation fire in January was virtually unheard of.

“It’s more than amazing. I suspect it hasn’t happened before,” Mr Geddes said.

For the Ashburton Rural volunteer fire force to not be called out to a fire in more than a month was unusual for any time of the year, let alone the middle of summer, he said. They get calls to deal with fires in grass, hedges and trees all year round, and by February they’d expect to be well into double figures in terms of call-out numbers.

Yesterday afternoon the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade was called out after someone saw smoke, but it turned out to be nothing. That’s as close as firefighters have come to dealing with a vegetation fire this year.

Mr Geddes said the last vegetation fire crews were called to was on December 29.

But with plenty of burning still to be done as farmers bring in their harvest and light their crop stubble residue, it was probably only a matter of time and he urged anyone lighting a fire to do so with care.

Fire restrictions were put in place prior to Christmas, but they were lifted a fortnight ago, meaning the Mid Canterbury plains are currently in an open fire season.

The open fire season was likely to remain in place for the foreseeable future, with the district still looking surprisingly lush and green for the time of the year thanks to regular rainfall.

But if the district’s traditional hot, dry and windy summer did return – or eventuate – restrictions could once again be enforced.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Criminal journey ends in Tinwald The following people appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Jack James Gibson, 19, of Timaru, admitted drink driving with an excess breath alcohol level of 912 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath (EBA 912mcg/l) – he was convicted, disqualified from driving for six months, fined $800 and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

Gala Paulo Ahsiu, 55, of Ashburton, was convicted of drink driving on his guilty plea (EBA 491mcg/l). He was disqualified from driving for 12 months and one day, and sentenced to 60 hours of community work. Ahsiu has two historical convictions for drink driving.

John Allan Moodie, 60, of the Ashburton District, admitted drink driving (EBA 825mcg/l) – he was disqualified from driving for six months, fined $1000 and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

Barry Alexander Hill, 46, of Tinwald, was convicted of drink driving (EBA 476mcg/l) and disquali-

fied from driving for six months, fined $500 and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

Cameron Ralph Mansell, 36, of Cavendish, was convicted on his sixth charge of drink driving charge (EBA 492mcg/l) and warned to be prepared for all options when he returns to court for sentencing on March 14.

James Robert Grant, 31, of Allenton, admitted contravening the conditions of his limited drivers licence. He was remanded at large for sentencing on March 14.

Patrick Minhinnick, 38, of Ashburton, was convicted of drink driving (EBA 704mcg/L). Minhinnick, who has two previous convictions for drink driving, was remanded on bail for sentencing on April 11.

Other matters: Jacob Matthew Presnell, of Oamaru, admitted two counts of burglary and was remanded in custody pending sentencing on March 14.

The court was told Presnell acted as the lookout while his co-accused broke into a Waimate

supermarket, and made off with an empty bread crate on January 7. The two men then travelled north, stopping at Temuka where they smashed a door to gain access to a fuel station, activating alarms.

They continued on their northward journey at high speeds, and were apprehended in Tinwald, still wearing the clothing shown in security footage at the scenes of the crimes and in possession of the bread crate.

Presnell was due to enter a rehabilitation facility the week following the offending.

Judge Maze asked for a drug and alcohol assessment to be completed for sentencing.

Kooly Managki Te Tomo, of Ashburton, was sentenced to 50 hours of community work for possessing a small amount of amphetamine crystals.

Te Tomo was not at his curfew address when police called on the evening of December 11. He was later picked up on Moore Street in possession of the illegal drugs.

Andrew William Leigh, 36, of Ruapuna, admitted a charge of assault. He was convicted and re-

manded on bail for sentencing on March 14.

Logan Arthur Moulin, 24, of Netherby, admitted charges of wilful damage and receiving stolen property. He was convicted and sentenced to 40 hours of community work on each matter.

Brendon Lee Farr-Wilson, 22, of Netherby, admitted a charge of receiving stolen property. He was convicted and remanded on bail for sentencing on March 14.

Farr-Wilson took possession of five rings, valued at $12,500, taken in a burglary in April last year.

He sold four to a pawn shop in Christchurch for $470.

All five rings were later recovered, but Farr-Wilson still owes the owner of the pawn business $470 in reparations.

Varnia Lee Glass, formerly of Auckland, admitted charges of assault with a weapon and breaching bail conditions.

She was convicted and remanded on bail for sentencing on March 14.

Defence lawyer Roz Burnside said Glass responded to an unprovoked attack by punching the

victim in the face and pinching her arms.

The victim managed to push her out of the room and close the door, but Glass battered it in and continued the assault with a spanner. She then used a metrelong wooden pole to hit her victim on the head.

Ms Burnside requested the sentencing report divulge the circumstances surrounding the “toxic relationship” between the two women.

“If she intends to heap blame at the feet of the victim she had better be prepared to do it in affidavit form,” Judge Maze said.

“If it is disputed it (the matter) will be going back to Auckland.”

She ordered the presentence report to include appendices for all sentencing options, saying the matter was very serious.

Preston Anaru Marsh, 24, of Tinwald, appeared on charges of dangerous driving, escaping police custody and two of failing to stop for police signals. He was remanded on bail for sentencing on April 11.

A warrant was issued for the arrest of Daniel John Brokenshire.

The Ashburton County Scottish Society’s annual Burns Celebration was another success this year, society chief Ken McKenzie says.

The event was held to remember Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns at the Ashburton Senior Centre on Sunday evening.

Mr McKenzie said they sold all their tickets and nearly 100 people joined in the festivities.

“It was an outstanding success.”

The entertainment and the address to the haggis were both very well-received.

“The entertainment was of an exceptionally high standard.”

The society had been around for about 109 years and had held a celebration for Robert Burns almost every year, Mr McKenzie said.

“We’ll be doing it again next year.”

The celebration included a traditional meal, bagpipes, poetry and highland dancing.

OUR VIEW

Holiday park living’s time has come Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

I

t’s a winner in many parts of the world, but permanent camp ground settlements have never really taken off in New Zealand.

With the gap between income and housing affordability continuing to grow, perhaps the cheap housing option’s time has come.

And we need look no further for successful models than to our big brother across the Tasman.

While permanent holiday park living might come with some bad images from “trailer trash parks” in the United States, if we were to adopt the concept in New Zealand we’d be starting with an almost clean sheet and we’d have the ability to write the rules to suit our own expectations.

Why has the holiday park living concept never really taken off as a viable option for mainstream New Zealand? Perhaps it’s never really clicked as part of the Kiwi way of doing things.

Homeownership of the traditional three-bedder on a quarter acre section has been embedded in our psyche for generations and, while the size of the section might have changed, the expectation of home ownership has not.

What has happened is the goal posts and the rules of the homeownership game are no longer what they were. As house prices have risen, buying criteria has toughened and the gap between dream and reality has become unbreachable for growing number of New Zealanders – young and old.

Permanent living holiday parks could be the bridge between a lifetime as a renter and homeownership, however modest.

Ashburton could lead the way.

We have plenty of land and we even have camping areas owned by the Ashburton District Council. It’s commonsense.

A well-planned park where permanent units could be purchased at low cost, with weekly maintenance contributions for ground’s upkeep, or where powered sites could be “homes for life” for people with caravans, could be a winner.

The success of such a venture would rely on the “village” being established with some clear rules in place and a good manager employed on site. They could become commercial ventures or for better control, community ventures run by elected boards or committees.

Created in the right way with the right motivation, holiday park living could become a lifestyle of choice as well as one of necessity.

YOUR VIEW Slaughtered willow trees I was at Lake Heron Waitangi weekend and I was horrified to see DOC have sprayed and slaughtered a row of willow trees at a point in Lake Heron.

Five years ago I was promised that they would not destroy the willow trees.

We as taxpayers pay DOC’s wages.

When is DOC going to wake up and stop these barbaric actions.

Fluoride I note the headlined article in the Guardian (9/2/16) basically stating that dental decay has increased in Ashburton since the town ceased fluoridation in 2002.

The article quotes at length

CRUMB

from local dentist Dr Justin Wall.

Early in 2014 Justin Wall was making similar unsubstantiated claims through the media.

This prompted me to request, via the Official Information Act, from Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) the oral health statistics from 2002 to date in respect of children connected to the Ashburton town water supply.

Those statistics were published in detail in the Ashburton Guardian on June 18, 2014.

The official statistics for Ashburton town should surprise everyone.

Between 2002 (when fluoridation ceased) and 2013, dental decay (measured as decayed, missing filled teeth) reduced by 10 per cent in five-year-olds and by 32 per cent in 12-year-olds.

Similarly, over the same period,

by David Fletcher

the number of children that were free of decay improved from 51.3 per cent to 52.4 per cent for fiveyear-olds and from 40.0 per cent to 52.3 per cent for 12-year-olds.

The CDHB data also revealed that Ashburton’s 12-year-olds, despite never having experienced the “benefit” of fluoridated water, have better oral health than their peers in Methven township which has been continuously fluoridated since the 1950s.

Unable to respond to the oral health statistics, as released from the CDHB, Dr Wall has been quiet until now.

However, after a long wait and presuming that the public will have forgotten the truth, he is back with the same unsubstantiated claims which remain contradicted by the data carefully collected by the CDHB. Don Church

Gearing up for Mid Canty winter tourism A

s a result of the huge number of international arrivals over the December and January period, the tourism industry is now the country’s number one export earner.

With an increase in arrivals this year of 3.13 million, the industry contributes $13.5 billion to the New Zealand economy. Our region generates $128 million of the overall number which is based on electronic transactions only.

The i-Sites have seen an 8.6 per cent rise in visitor numbers compared to December 2014.

They have been incredibly busy ensuring our visitors have been well looked after during their stay in Mid Canterbury.

This time of year your tourism marketing team is heavily focused on the promotion of the region’s winter activities. The team engages with international airlines, travel wholesalers and importantly ski operators to ensure Mid Canterbury gets its slice of the international and domestic winter market.

Additional visitor numbers are highly anticipated, in particular

from the Australian market – which will postitively impact to our economy due to Mt Hutt’s launch of their earlybird season pass. Season lift passes are available from $299 per person down from $749 previous years.

Methven operators are starting to see a good early booking profile for the winter as compared to previous years where most bookings have been last minute.

In March we will be attending the Covi Motorhome supershow in Auckland, where some 10,000 plus motorhome owners meet to discover new destinations around New Zealand to travel to. We’ll be there to promote, Motorhome Friendly Town ™ Methven and our surrounding district as a motorhome-friendly destination.

In May, Experience Mid Canterbury will represent the region at Trenz in Rotorua. This multiday event is where we engage with the international travel community and encourage them to sell more of our region’s activity and its services. We have scheduled meetings with Chinese, Malaysian, European and United States-based operators.

February 8 saw the start of the Chinese New Year, through to February 15, celebrating the year of the monkey.

This is a key travel period for the Chinese, so we can expect to see many Chinese visitors around our community.

They want to experience Mid Canterbury as a regional agricultural destination. Visitors want to see, taste and share the experience with friends and family.

Recently the news broadcasts have been full of stories about dangerous driving by tourists on our roads.

AA, the New Zealand Government, Tourism New Zealand and the rental vehicle industry have implemented a number of initiatives to help mitigate these

terrible incidents and make our roads safer.

One initiative known as the Visitor Driver Training Programme, introduced in mid-2015 uses state-of-the-art technology to educate visitor road users on our road rules.

There are 15 scenarios, the driver watches the video then answers a multi-choice series of related questions, on submitting a 100 per cent score they can buy and print a certificate of completion.

On arrival in New Zealand the visitor can present the certificate for a special discounted rate off the vehicle hire.

This programme has been made available in Spanish, French, German, Chinese and English language, more languages are likely to be available as emerging markets grow.

As a daily user of State Highway 1, I certainly see this as step in the right direction, ensuring safer travelling for all road users.

Kanye’s fashion a big hit Kanye West’s upcoming fashion show at New York’s Madison Square Garden has sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale.

The star’s Yeezy Season 3 clothing collection launch during New York Fashion Week on February 11 will double up as a gig of sorts as West debuts music from his much-anticipated album Waves. And fans are so keen to see his latest designs and near his new music that they stormed online ticketing sites as passes went on sale on Thursday. And they sold out in minutes. West took to Twitter to thank his dedicated fans, writing, “THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS WE SOLD MADISON SQUARE GARDEN OUT IN 10 MINUTES” West shared his anticipation for the big event, tweeting, “It was always a dream to show my collection at Madison Square Garden. It was always a dream to have a listening party at Madison Square Garden. On February 11th these dreams come true.”

Waves crash over the sea wall at Porthcawl in Wales yesterday as winds of nearly 160km/h battered Britain after Storm Imogen slammed into the south coast.

Massive storm hits England Waves measuring up to 20 metres were recorded off the Cornish coast at St Ives yesterday, while a height of 14 metres was observed off the coast of the Isles of Scilly.

It came as Britain’s ninth named storm battered the south of England, leaving the transport network in chaos and around 13,000 homes without power.

Schools had to be closed, major roads and bridges shut and ferry services cancelled as winds of up to 100km/h battered the coast of Britain.

The storm also left a number of people needing hospital treatment including two children who were injured when a wall fell on them in Worcestershire, and an elderly man who suffered a double leg fracture

when a five metre flint wall landed on him and his dog in Bognor Regis, West Sussex.

An RSPCA inspector also remains missing after trying to rescue dozens of stricken sea birds at a beach near Penzance in Cornwall at the height of the storm.

His family fear he may have been swept out to sea as winds topped 100km/h across exposed parts of the UK. It comes as more than 13,500 homes were left without power across the South West and South Wales due to the extreme weather conditions.

Western Power Distribution said engineers worked to reconnect many of the homes but more than 5000 properties are still affected in Cornwall.

The storm has caused major disruption to southern England, including to rail commuters who faced rush-hour chaos as they tried to make their way home amid a barrage of cancellations and delays.

Trains in and out of London were disrupted due to the hurricane-force winds, while routes to Brighton, Gatwick Airport, Portsmouth, Southampton, Gloucester and Cardiff were also affected.

While many services were outright cancelled, speed restrictions were also imposed on the remaining routes at various times due to the high winds.

Gatwick Airport also warned flights may be disrupted.

Motorists also faced further misery on the roads, with the

Severn Bridge closed in both directions because of the strong winds.

Ferry companies Brittany and P&O also cancelled services throughout the day, with the choppy sea conditions proving too dangerous to set sail.

Earlier, two children in the Worcestershire village of Bretforton were airlifted to hospital after being pulled from rubble when a wall collapsed on them.

Around 225 Environment Agency flood warnings are in place across the UK amid heavy downpours, with 48 warnings calling for “immediate action”, particularly in the South West and Wales where parts were expected to see around 40mm of rain.

Adele leads the pack Adele has topped another chart - a top 10 of the most popular acts in the world. The British singer has been named as the most popular recording artist in 2015, according to an international music trade body. British acts make up half of the top 10 artists on the list compiled by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Adele, 27, is the third recipient of the IFPI Global Recording Artist of the year award - an accolade that reflects an artist’s worldwide popularity across physical formats, downloads and streams. Her place at the top was driven by the October release and subsequent global success of lead single Hello from the album 25. Other acts in the top 10 include Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Coldplay and Sam Smith.

‘No-hoper’ making a big impression An amazing thing is happening in the primary elections for the American presidency and it’s not Donald Trump.

Mr Trump, in any case, “doesn’t like losers” and, having lost in Iowa, should presumably now be “reconsidering his position”.

The amazing thing is happening on the other side of the political divide.

The Iowa primary ended in a virtual deadheat between Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner and assumed shoo-in, and 74-year-old Bernie Sanders, the Senator

from Vermont, who started the race as a virtual no-hoper.

Hillary Clinton, by far the best-known of the Democratic candidates, carries some baggage as a consequence, and there will be those who claim to have foreseen that her less than spotless record would eventually catch up her.

But the real surprise is not her relatively poor showing, but the rise to prominence of the elderly and hitherto littleknown Bernie Sanders.

It has been widely assumed that Senator Sanders is to all intents and purposes un-

electable. His age and relative obscurity would in any case count against him, but the real disqualification, it is believed, is that he is a self-declared socialist.

It is hard to think of a label that would more surely destroy a candidate’s chances in an American primary election.

So, what explains the success that, so far at least, he has enjoyed?

The answer lies in listening carefully to what he says. He hasn’t used his socialism as either a sword or a shield.

He has instead carefully ex-

plained what he means by it.

When Bernie Sanders says he wants “an economy that serves the interests of working people and not the billionaire class”, he recognises that the natural tendency of a “freemarket” economy is to concentrate wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands.

His message that unless democratic government intervenes to regulate the “free” market and its outcomes, the rich will get richer and the poor poorer is, it seems, well understood by a large swathe of more thoughtful voters. - AP

Stalking - for 17 years Gwyneth Paltrow has testified in the trial of a man accused of stalking her, saying he sent her upsetting letters that contained threats and pornography. Dante Soiu is accused of stalking the Oscar-winning actress for 17 years, sending her 66 letters between 2009 and 2015. Paltrow was the first witness called. She testified about letters and packages she received from Soiu dating to 1999, including several that contained pornography, sex toys and statements that he wanted to cleanse her of sin. The letters described Soiu’s intention to marry Paltrow and also a pair of earrings he sent her in 2009 as a Christmas gift.

Soiu, who is from suburban Columbus, Ohio, has pleaded not guilty in the latest case.

Attorney Lynda Westlund said Soiu is a Christian man who is just trying to minister to the actress.

■ OCCUPATION OUTLOOK

Govt research: Where all the jobs are The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has just released its Occupation Outlook for 2016 and it suggests strong prospects in construction, infrastructure and IT services.

But it also shows which sectors have more people looking for work than jobs available – which includes pilots, firefighters and actors.

The report evaluates the job prospects in each occupation, incomes earned in the job and the cost of fees for training in the industry.

In the construction and infrastructure industry, quantity surveyors, construction project managers and civil engineering technicians could expect to have good job prospects and earn a high income.

Engineering technicians, ICT business and systems analysts and software developers were best off in the manufacturing and technology industry, with high demand for jobs and above-average

income projections.

Steven Joyce, Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister, launched an app with the Occupation Outlook that showed prospects for people with skills in software development and IT analysis are high, but prospects in creative industries are medium to low.

Joyce said the report and associated app were designed to better inform students and job seekers.

It arms them with the information they need to carefully consider what career path they want to choose and what training they need to do to get there,” he said.

“We are still short of engineers in New Zealand. Job prospects are extremely good for civil, geotechnical and structural engineers, particularly in Auckland and Christchurch where large roading and infrastructure projects and building activity are fuelling demand.”

In the services industry, cafe managers are needed, but could

$600,000 contributed to save beach Businessman Gareth Morgan has announced he will pay the $600,000 needed to meet the total of a Givealittle camapign to save an Abel Tasman beach, but he wants private use of part of the beach.

Tenders for the 7ha beach on the Awaroa inlet close on Febru-

ary 16 and Christchurch man Duane Major launched a Givealittle campaign to crowdsource the $2 million needed to place a tender.

Morgan wrote on his blog that he would cover the difference needed for the campaign to reach $2 million, but he wants the section of beach that is currently pri-

vate to remain that way.

“I will guarantee that the public have access to the same extent that the current owner has kindly bestowed,” he said.

“But I will go further than that.

I will undertake to give the property to DOC once my family has finished enjoying it”.

tors will need to consider the risks involved. One of the more common issues with such a strategy is the lack of protection if sharemarkets fall.

An active manager will generally make buy or sell decisions or elect to hold more cash when market prices are under pressure.

An ETF does not have the same luxury as it ‘follows’ the market, both up and down.

Investors will need to decide if this passive strategy is suitable to their circumstances.

Warren Buffett, who is now aged 85, famously penned instructions to the executors of his estate to invest in low cost index funds (ETFs) as he believes the long term results will be superior.

New Zealand investors would be wise to consider such words from one of the world’s most successful investors.

Benefits of exchange traded funds arren Buffett, a farmer, businessman, and regarded as one of the smartest investors in the world, has previously trumpeted the benefits of exchange traded funds or ETFs as they are commonly known in the investment world.

ETF’s are now a $3 trillion world industry with the US accounting for three quarters of that figure.

The availability to New Zealand investors has been limited, however, a recently introduced range of products aims to change that.

Similar to shares, ETFs trade on a stock market but instead of representing ownership in one company they track an entire stock market index or basket of shares.

Although ETFs have been around since 1993, it wasn’t until the mid 2000s that they started to increase in popularity in the US. New Zealand has a number of choices offered by Smartshares which is owned by the NZX, New Zealand’s national stock exchange operator.

Fire fighters earn a medium income, with cheap fees for the relevant qualifications, but have poor job prospects in the occupation.

Community and Social Services like teachers, police and policy analysts have medium job prospects and fire fighters have low prospects. There are good prospects for medical services like registered nurses, physiotherapists, doctors and dentists.

Truck drivers, public relations professionals, retail sales assistants and marketing and advertising professionals have some of the best prospects in the service industry.

Meatloaf can be plain or fancy M

eatloaf might not be top of most people’s preferred food list, but if it’s a very under-rated dinner option.

An evening with Kelvin Cruickshank

HMS Pinafore

With the outstanding success and popularity of the award winning series “Sensing Murder”, Kelvin has been literally swamped with people wanting to see him.

For this reason, he is continuing his series of exclusive evenings that will help to reach out and touch more people at once.

These evenings will simply be Kelvin working with spirit.

Kelvin will read as many people permitted by spirit per session, although we do not guarantee that he can read everyone.

Set aboard the ship HMS PINAFORE, the captain’s daughter, Josephine, is in love with a lower-class sailor, Ralph Rackstraw, despite her father wanting her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. She abides by her father’s wishes at first, but Sir Joseph’s advocacy of the equality of humankind encourages Ralph and Josephine to overturn conventional social order. They declare their love for each other and eventually plan to elope. The captain discovers this plan, but, as in many of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, a surprise disclosure changes things dramatically near the end of the story.

In brief Big win at the table Christopher Frank has been crowned the Waitangi Deep Stack series Main Event champion and taken home $41,210 following an epic final day of poker at Auckland’s Sky City casino. 105 poker players put up $1500 to enter the event which generated a prizepool of $136,000 and 66 players remained when play began on day two at 12.30pm on Monday.

Frank ultimately won the war of attrition, and claimed the victory at 8.00am yesterday morning, nearly 20 hours after play began. - NZME

Benji Marshall says he’s got two or three NRL seasons left in him, but accepts he may not be with St George Illawarra beyond this year.

The halfback, who helped the Dragons to the finals last season, is keen to stay but says he won’t stand in the way of promising play-maker Drew Hutchison coming through. Marshall admitted yesterday he wasn’t confident of being offered a new deal and that there was a real possibility he’ll be asked to move on.

Mercedes eye McLaren Formula One champions Mercedes expect to be beaten by Ferrari this season and also see McLaren catching up fast after a dismal 2015 for the Honda-powered team. That’s the opinion of Mercedes’ engine chief Andy Cowell. “Nobody here is assuming we are going to win.

Everybody here is assuming we’re going to get beaten by Ferrari, and Honda are a big threat,” he said.

Ferrari won three of 19 races last season, Mercedes won the rest, with Britain’s Lewis Hamilton clinching his third title. - Reuters

Knicks fire Fisher The struggling New York Knicks have fired head coach Derek Fisher less than two years after he was brought in to help turn around the once-proud NBA franchise.

Fisher was dismissed a day after the NBA’s most valuable team (23-31) lost their fifth consecutive outing, falling five games back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Fisher, a five-times NBA champion player with the Los Angeles Lakers, had no coaching experience when he was hired in mid-2014.

Pulu out for 10 weeks Chiefs halfback Augustine Pulu has been ruled out for up to 10 weeks after breaking an arm in New Zealand’s semi-final win over Fiji in Sydney at the weekend. Gordon Tietjens’ men dedicated their incredible come-from-behind 27-24 win to Pulu, who has been a revelation in the shortened form of the game.

The injury to the two-test All Black will impact on the Chiefs, although they have depth at halfback with the likes of Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Brad Webber around. - NZME

■ CRICKET

Drama will have short life

BY DAVID LEGGAT Don’t even think about putting the Mitchell Marsh dismissal in the same box as the underarm incident.

One is still regularly talked about, rates as one of the dog acts of international sport in the past half century, and remains for many New Zealanders a source of hostility towards Australian cricket, even though it happened more than 30 years ago.

The Marsh dismissal?

I doubt it’ll last 30 days.

There’s a major bottom line about this: ultimately the right decision was made.

No debate.

Australia’s captain Steve Smith conceded that critical point immediately after the Hamilton ODI ended on Monday night.

Set aside Marsh’s ill-tempered reaction to the decision as the actions of a young man trying desperately to win a match, and series, for his team, and getting shot down in peculiar circumstances.

Set aside, too, the allegations of nasty verbals in the middle.

That happens.

And by the way is “so we’re not playing caught and bowleds in this game?” the gentlest sledge to ever start a verbal scrap in inter-

The scoreboard won’t change - Mitchell Marsh was out. national cricket - Grant Elliott’s retort to Marsh’s “that’s f...ing bullshit”.

Ask yourself this: what say the replay of the incident, when Matt Henry stooped low to take a return catch off Marsh’s boot, popped up on the big screen 30 seconds later?

By that time Henry would have bowled another ball and the game would had moved on.

Imagine the outcry within Seddon Park had that happened.

Did umpire Ian Gould err?

There was certainly a brief appearance of fluster.

TV commentator Simon Doull got a shot in early: “I’m not going to call it [a] controversy because the right decision has been made, but it’s harsh. Was it done in the right way - who knows.”

Smith has a fair debating point that the replay should not be up on the public viewing screen until after the next delivery.

Having said that, Monday night’s Marsh Incident, as this is sure to become known, was an

unusual set of circumstances.

Also there is a question of the immediate feeding of the insatiable beast, which sort of demands rapid information to the crowds.

Remember the All Blacks test against South Africa at Ellis Park in 2014 when referee Wayne Barnes went back to penalise Liam Messam for a shoulder charge after play had moved on - on the strength of the replays on the big screen and the crowd’s reaction?

So this situation is not entirely new.

Henry half-heartedly appealed to no-one in particular.

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson reckons about four players appealed.

TV replays are too narrow to back that, although Martin Guptill at short mid-wicket did support Henry’s mild appeal.

The minutiae of who did what, and when, is soon to be lost in time.

The world won’t change.

It’s only sport. No one died.

Did it change the outcome of the match, and series?

Maybe, maybe not.

A combination of circumstances conspired to produce a fascinating vignette within a remarkable match.

No more, no less.

- NZME

Long history of incidents favouring Australia Mob rule.

Hollering crowds.

Hometown decisions.

No, not Hamilton as the Australian media might claim.

We’re talking about the New Zealand cricket team’s run of awful luck in Australia over the years.

Here are just a few samples.

1) Martin Snedden took a stunning outfield catch running forward during the infamous “underarm” one day match at Melbourne in 1981, except it wasn’t.

Snedden’s word was good enough for Richie Benaud, the king of commentators. The great man said: “There’s no question in my mind ... that’s one of the best catches I’ve ever seen in my life.”

But batsman Greg Chappell, the Aussie captain, stood his ground refusing to take Snedden’s word.

Lo and behold, a couple of Aussie umpires who said they were watching the batsmen running between the wickets rather than the flight of the ball, told Chappell to bat on.

2) Melbourne again, 1987.

Danny Morrison trapped Craig McDermott in front to win the test, except he didn’t.

Aussie umpire Dick French kept Australia in the game by inexplicably turning down the lbw appeal, and they survived the final over to save the test.

3) The same 1987 match in Melbourne.

Martin Snedden claims a fair catch, but the Australian umpires “weren’t looking”.

And Dick French, again.

Greg Dyer dropped a catch, although he didn’t.

Wicketkeeper Dyer positioned himself beautifully for advent of YouTube, claiming a legside catch from the bat of Andrew Jones when the ball clearly bounced on the ground.

Umpire Tony Crafter checked with umpire French, and Jones was sent packing.

Commentator Tony Greig said: “Wicket keeper Dyer has claimed a catch which doesn’t look to me as if it was is one.”

Spot on.

4) In 2001, New Zealand were denied a famous and rare series victory in Australia.

The great Steve Waugh helped save the day in Perth but was given a clear assist by Zimbabwe umpire Ian Robinson when a big nick off Daniel Vettori’s bowling found a deaf spot.

Kiwi batsman Craig McMillan said: “... we were in the middle of the pitch celebrating. You could hear it three rows back and it was given not out.”

Crowd noise, alright.

5) Perth, 2009.

Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin knocks the bails off with his gloves which were illegally in front of the stumps anyway.

Haddin let Neil Broom leave the field having been allegedly bowled.

Captain Vettori reckoned: “I think you saw from Haddin’s reaction that he knew something was wrong so he probably should have made more noise about it.”

6) Adelaide this time, last year.

English umpire Nigel Llong lived up to his name, taking forever to make the wrong decisions in ruling Nathan Lyon not out despite hot spot evidence to the contrary.

Llong told the men in the middle: “There’s a mark on a bat, but it could come from anywhere.”

But could a decision like that be made anywhere else?

Maybe, but Australia have got a lot of good decisions in Australia over the years.

McCullum departs ODIs in fine style In a fitting farewell to captain Brendon McCullum from the limited overs game, New Zealand triumphed by 55 runs and defended the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy they won in last year’s World Cup pool game.

It’s hard to envisage a more dramatic exit, one which revolved around Matt Henry’s controversial caught and bowled of Mitchell Marsh, but which contained plenty of ebb and flow in the narrative.

However, the New Zealanders’ robust comeback to send their skipper into limited overs retirement can’t be ignored.

The defence of 246 on a slowing wicket was a credit to the tenacity built in the McCullum era.

His teams always believe.

Australia’s chance to win a seventh consecutive bilateral ODI series was thwarted.

“For us to beat the best team in world is testament to the depth created over a period,” McCullum said. “The way the guys stepped up was phenomenal.”

First David Warner, then Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell, the visitors’ key batting quartet, had exited by 94 after 19 overs.

Earlier, at 221 for four after 40 overs, the New Zealand platform was set but 33 balls later they were all out for 246.

Grant Elliott’s 50 off 62 balls included just one four and one six.

Corey Anderson toiled to 27 off 45 balls which included a solitary six. They were ready to press the launch button but any hope of pyrotechnics fizzled as Australia doused them with penetrative bowling.

Luke Ronchi, Doug Bracewell, Adam Milne, Sodhi made seven runs between them.

Martin Guptill top scored with 59 off 61 balls and McCullum blasted 47 off 27 balls.

The Chappell-Hadlee decider marked another encore in the McCullum curtain call before 9751 fans.

His international limited overs career is complete and he can focus on two final tests.

The first, starting in Wellington on Friday, will be his 100th in succession from debut.

He is the first of 2809 test cricketers to achieve the feat.

Sentiment can’t detract from the main reason cricket fans engage: the contest.

And McCullum was up for it, absorbing crowd adulation that was sometimes lacking in the precaptaincy years.

He also became the first batsman to score 100 sixes in tests and 200 sixes in ODIs. NZME

■ AVONDALE

Ashburton Guardian 17

In brief

Good ground vital for Derby colt The path to a Group One goal has to be a firm one for What’s The Story to show he can stand tall against the best of his age group.

The Savabeel colt’s road to the BMW New Zealand Derby will take in a sprint outing at Avondale today before he steps out over more ground in preparation for the March 5 feature.

“He’s only struck one good track so far, which has been a bit disappointing,” said Stephen McKee, who prepares What’s The Story at Ardmore with Eddie Chippendale.

“The only time things have gone his way was in his first-up win – he can’t quicken on wet ground.”

What’s The Story impressed at Ruakaka in his debut victory against the older horses before he was beaten, but not disgraced,

What’s The Story with Sam Spratt aboard in winning form.

in three subsequent three-yearold events on rain-affected going.

He was fifth behind Xtravagant in the Wellington Guineas

Trial, sixth to Alamer in the Listed Trevor Eagle Memorial and a last-start seventh in the Gr.2 Great Northern Guineas won by the subsequent Gr.1 Levin Classic placegetter and Gr.2 Waikato Guineas winner Rangipo.

What’s The Story will be ridden by his regular partner Sam Spratt in the Avondale Trainers’ 1400, in which they share the topweight of 60kg with fellow Derby hopeful Arbitrage.

“We were going to run him over 2100 metres last week, but he drew the outside at Ellerslie and with the rail out he would have had to work too hard,” McKee said.

“He’s capable of sprinting well and then we’ll decide whether he goes to the Avondale Guineas or a Rating 65 over 2100m.”

Purdon/Rasmussen team powering on The Purdon/Rasmussen feature race juggernaut moves to Sydney this weekend.

Fresh from yet another mega major win with Smolda in the

M2

Hunter Cup, Purdon and Rasmussen have their three-yearolds primed for the Saturday night’s heats of the NSW Derby and Oaks.

Both unbeaten, Our Waikiki Beach and Our Dream About Me are expected to not only win their respective heats, but also the finals.

Judging by their latest superlative wins at Menangle last Saturday night, it will be a major shock if they don’t just keep on winning.

- NZME

Features targeted Promising youngster O’Rachael will be back in action at Te Rapa at the weekend. The daughter of Northern Meteor will step out over 1200 metres as a forerunner to more important assignments. “O’Rachael will run on Saturday and then we’ll be looking at the Matamata Breeders’ and the Diamond Stakes,” McKee said. She beat the talented Sacred Elixir at Ellerslie in late December after a luckless second on debut at Avondale.

- NZME

Patience key to filly David Greene isn’t about to get too serious just yet with the smart filly Thatsforsure. The Te Rapa trainer produced the daughter of Tavistock for an impressive laststart maiden victory at Ellerslie at just her third appearance. “She’s most likely set to run at Auckland on Saturday week in a Rating 65 mile race for fillies and mares,” he said.

- NZME

Diamond heading north The Diamond One is in line for a second crack at the Gr.1 Haunui Farm WFA Classic on February 27.

The south’s leading mare, who finished sixth in the Otaki race behind Nashville two years ago, is likely to head north following her third successive win on Saturday in the Gr.3 White Robe Lodge Handicap.

10/2 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): A Yugoslavian proverb suggests that if you want to know what a man is, place him in authority. Learn more about yourself as you fulfil the leadership role thrust upon you.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): City lights are only dazzling because of the darkness that surrounds them. If you find yourself in bleak circumstances, it’s the perfect backdrop to highlight your inner shine.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Don’t assume your opinion is similar to the rest. You’re looking at the same thing and yet you’re seeing something different. Speak up. They need to hear you.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Sure, you need to make a living and/or make your way in the world, just like everyone else. You need to enrich the world with your presence. You will succeed in this today.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Why do people think that it’s bad luck to state your good luck aloud. Truly, there is no reason to knock on wood. Count your blessings and watch them multiply as you do.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Weak decision-making happens when the person who makes the decision is not the one who bears the consequences. You can effect great change applying this truth.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Courteous and obliging — that’s your nature. It is because of your application of good manners and social graces that you are able to lay down boundaries others respect.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Once you know what you want to do, you have the audacity to commit your whole self to it. Until then, you’re wise to dip a finger or a toe in. They will want more from you, but you don’t owe anyone any promises.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You root for the success of loved ones. There may be tinges of jealousy too, though you’ve nothing to worry about. In pushing someone up the hill, you get nearer the top.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You do not give trust easily, and yet you realise that to some degree everyone can be trusted. But trusted to do what?

That is the question. Trust is a matter of prediction.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You know that life is not about acquiring things or collecting achievements, and yet those goals do keep you in the path most likely for “life” to happen upon you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You deliver praise lavishly and without expectation of reciprocation.

This is not only generous, but also smart. Later, when you have a wish or comment that may be considered a bit sensitive or critical, you will be well-received.

Fourteen-year-old Kate Flanagan led the under 15 girls’ South Island Softball Championship’s pitching stats last month.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 070216-AK-004

Kate’s right on target

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Kate Flanagan is continuing to make a name for herself in South Island softball following a sterling performance at the recent under 15 girls’ South Island Softball Championships at Molyneux Park in Alexandra.

The 14-year-old led the tournament’s pitching stats among some of the finest age-group players the

South Island has to offer.

Despite her Canterbury Development side losing out in the final to Canterbury A, the pitching starlet’s individual display was one to be proud of.

It was always likely that Kate would take up softball, her brother, Daniel, is also a top pitcher in Christchurch.

Daniel plays for Rolleston under 19s and the Rolleston B men’s

team, having already represented Ashburton College for four years at South Island secondary school tournaments.

But Kate is forging her own path under the guidance of former Ashburton and White Sox pitcher Suzy De Lautour and ex-Canterbury and junior White Sox catcher Carley Ratu.

“She really, really wants it,” said De Lautour. “She puts her heart in

to it and she’s very dedicated.

“She comes to Christchurch three times a week and hasn’t rested on her laurels.

“She’s doing it off her own back and she’s not scared to ask questions, which I love.”

Flanagan’s next goal is to help her Riccarton team to victory in their upcoming under 16 ties, but also has one eye on Canterbury under 17 selection next year and

one day being picked for the junior White Sox. But learning from her distinguished coaches remains her main priority.

“When I came in I was pretty scared, but my coaches really pushed me in to the right spots,” she said.

“If it wasn’t for Suzy and Carley’s help and coaching I wouldn’t be here with the stats I did.”

Santner out, Craig in for first test against Australia Mark Craig will join the Black Caps squad for the opening Test against Australia, after Mitchell Santner was ruled out with a foot injury.

Santner experienced pain in his right foot at the conclusion of the second ODI. A subsequent scan showed bruising around the bone in his

McCullum exits ODIs in fine style P16

right foot and will see him miss the match at the Basin Reserve beginning on Friday.

Coach Mike Hesson said it was disappointing for Santner.

“It’s unfortunate for Mitch as he’s been a key player for us so far this summer,” said Hesson.

“The positive news is that we picked it up early and hopefully

Mitch can make a quick recovery.”
