If you’re on your way past the Ashburton Trust Event Centre this week, keep an ear out for the hard-working vocal chords of 149 Mid Canterbury Summer Singing School (MCSSS) students. The group launched into a week of practice yesterday before they bring a musical theatre production to the stage on Friday and Saturday. It’s the biggest production yet for the MCSSS, which has been operating each January for 18 years and is musically helmed by Ashburton singing tutor Jo Castelow. “We now have people from all over, from as far as Timaru and Christchurch, and each time brings a new mix of voices,” said Castelow. Some singers have been involved in the week-long course for more than 10 years, she said,

while more than half of this year’s junior group are newcomers. The group range in age from 9 to 21 years and includes members of NAZDA and first-year university students. This year’s production is themed Time Travellers and will cover musical theatre and tunes from across the ages – from My Fair Lady and Bing Crosby to recent hits like Hamilton and Moana, along with everything in between, Castelow said. “Among the juniors everyone knows the songs from Moana, but they find that they love singing the older ones just as much,” she said. And not only does the theme provide something for everyone in the audience, she said, but gives the young singers the opportunity to learn about various musicals. The group received their music a month ago, and auditioned for solo positions on Sunday. They are currently undergoing two days of musical

Buildings that have not been assessed will be given the lowest rating until an assessment is done, Wong said. There had been a proposal to change the rules so the cut-off date for engineering assessment would have moved forward to cover all buildings built before 2004 and that would have seen hundreds of buildings around

If a building is required to have a placard displayed it will contain information on the percentage it complies with building standards and the year with which it will need to be strengthened to come up to code, Wong said.

Te Araroa walkers are on the rise, benefiting the summer tourism industry in Methven. Many who do the 3000-kilometre trail, which runs the length of New Zealand, end up in the ski town, as it is a natural rest resting point near the uncrossable Rakaia River. Methven i-SITE consultant Lyndsay Agnew said December to February was peak season for trail walkers, and she was assisting about half a dozen per week. “Most of them are doing the whole trail or the whole South Island, depending on how much time they have got,” she said. “They are really interesting people, you have to be a certain breed to want to go and walk 3000 kilometres.” They mostly came from Europe and North America, and walked north to south, hitch-hiking into Methven from above Lake Coleridge. They generally stayed in the campground or backpacker lodges in Methven. “It’s nice to have them here and they spread the word when they go back,” she said. Walkers rejoin the trail on Blackford Road in the Rakaia Gorge, and Methven Travel provides transport on the “empty” section of its school bus run, and operates an on-demand shuttle service in school holidays. The Te Araroa section through Mid Canterbury goes from here to the Hakatere Heron Road, taking a public access easement over Glenariffe Station, then crossing the 60,000-hectare Hakatere Conservation Park. Among those undertaking Te Araroa is American Clayton Beckett. His trail name is Chef, he has a travel blog at chefspecial5.com and is from Connecticut. The 26-year-old is walking the South Island section, south to north, and was in Methven at the weekend. He said he ended up

Beckett said the trail to date had had many river crossings, and some mountainous terrain, as well as farm tracks and dirt roads. Besides the road walks, which he did not like as they lacked the wilderness appeal of true trail walking, and a lack of markers in some areas, he was enjoying the scen-

south. “A lot of Kiwis don’t even know about the trail,” Beckett said. He was not worried about being without a cellphone. “If you don’t have service it’s not going to help you and you are not going to get that in the mountains,” he said.

■ EMPLOYMENT LAW CHANGES

Employers want flexibility By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A number of local employers are hoping to hang on to some flexibility when meal and break regulations return next month. Legislation announced earlier this week by the government will essentially repeal changes to meal break regulations made by the National government in 2015, which deemed that rest and meal breaks could be waived for “reasonable compensation” if the nature of the work made it impractical to take the time off. In the new bill, due for its first reading on February 3, guaranteed minimum meal and rest breaks will be reinstated – but that could be challenging to manage, say some Mid Canterbury employers. In hospitality, Tinwald Tavern owner Greg King said flexibility was a necessity, and it was particularly hard to give multiple staff breaks during busy periods. “It really opens a whole can of worms … it’s quite a complex issue,” he said. Blue Pub Methven manager Casey Crawford said he too would be curious to see what happens. “At the moment staff take a break when it’s convenient for all the kitchen staff … but sometimes you’ve got to wait if it’s busy – we can’t have no one on,” he said. “I guess I’m concerned it might be inconvenient.” Compliance Partners Consultant Jane Fowles said “very prescriptive” breaks had also proven difficult for a number of other

Under the new bill, the government has indicated they will make limited exceptions for some workplaces, including air traffic controllers where it has been deemed “not practical for workers to take breaks at the same time”. industries to manage prior to the 2015 changes – in particular, shift work. She said although breaks were an important part of up-keeping health and safety, it worked differently in different industries around the district.

“Everyone’s slightly different and it is nice to have a bit of negotiation,” she said. “I expect it will be a bit more challenging for people in shift work.” And BusinessNZ had also appreciated prior flexibility in re-

lation to meal and rest breaks, which they said allowed employers and employees to agree on when breaks could be taken, depending on the needs of the business. “Changing to a more regulated approach isn’t ideal for business

agility, for example in manufacturing operations.” Under the new bill, the government has indicated they will make limited exceptions for some workplaces, including air traffic controllers where it has been deemed “not practical for workers to take breaks at the same time”. But workplace relations Minister Iain Lees-Galloway gave little hope for other general industries like hospitality and shift work, announcing that the bill sets some very tight criteria. “Very few businesses will qualify,” he said. However, other Mid Canterbury businesses were happy to support guaranteed meal breaks on account that little would change for them. KB Panel and Paint owner Kieran Breakwell said in his industry, he had found it beneficial for his workers to take regular, prescribed breaks. “It is important for employees to have some down time, have a meal … and I suppose it’s good for us in terms of productivity.” At The Somerset Grocer Mark and Nikki Milmine said their staff already had a system for taking rostered breaks. Lees-Galloway said the bill was a step towards “making life better for working New Zealanders.” “Good employment law strikes a balance between employers and workers. Under the previous Government the balance tipped away from fair working conditions for workers. We will restore that balance,” he said.

Chief coroner issues heat warning for MS sufferers The Chief Coroner is warning people with multiple sclerosis to take care in the heat after a woman died in Christchurch on Wednesday. The woman, in her early 60s, died from hyperthermia after

overheating during Wednesday’s high temperatures. People living with multiple sclerosis can struggle to control their body’s temperature in hot weather. Judge Deborah Marshall ad-

vises people with multiple sclerosis, or other illnesses that make them susceptible to overheating, to keep an eye on any symptoms that may be worsening in the hot weather. “Following this death, I feel it

is important to remind people of the dangers of overheating due to the high temperatures expected in the coming days and to take all necessary precautions.” On Wednesday Christchurch soared to 32°C as a spell of hot

weather hit Canterbury and northern Otago. Yesterday, temperatures were slightly below 30°C but are expected back up to the stifling levels on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

Pipe bands to battle it out in old fashioned competition By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Scottish Society Pipe Band will put all their recent trials and tribulations behind them and head into a good old-fashioned slice of competition this weekend for the annual Ashburton Scottish Society Pipe Band festival tomorrow. After a 10-year hiatus the local band finally took part in their own competition last year to great success after struggling to muster sufficient numbers to form a band but a resurgence of interest in 2016 saw the band reformed and back in business. Back at full strength, pipe major Derrick Cullimore said the group were looking forward to the event once again. “It’s always an exciting time and so nice to be a part of,” he said. The pipe band festival has been on the district’s summer calendar for around 40 years and is always run to the same format – a street march followed by individual performances by participating bands, wrapping up with a mass band number. This year seven bands will compete in the competition stretching from as far south as Timaru right up to Rangiora in the north. The street march starts at 12.30pm on Sunday and will take

■ FIRE AND EMERGENCY NEW ZEALAND

Dry conditions spark warning As a heatwave hits the country, Fire and Emergency New Zealand is urging people to think twice before plugging in a fan or pulling over for a dip in a river. Temperatures have soared past a sweltering 30 degrees in many areas, and are expected to get even hotter in the next week. NIWA predicts it could get as hot as 40 degrees for some areas on Tuesday, the hottest weather this summer. Fire and Emergency New Zealand is reminding people the heat increases the risk of start-

ing a fire. Its Acting National Rural Operational Manager, Tim Mitchell, says it’s crucial people both in the cities and rural areas are extra vigilant. “We want people to keep themselves safe. It’s so hot, people will be rushing out to buy fans, plugging them in and getting out the ice to cool down, but electronics and water don’t mix,” he said. “There’s also the potential to overload power sockets, which could spark a fire, so please be careful.”

BLOCKED DRAINS

Tim Mitchell says the fire danger is going to be extreme for Southland, Otago and eastern parts of the South Island in particular. He says outdoor activities that may have been safe to do in cooler conditions could now become hazardous. Even driving and pulling over in long grass could have dire consequences. “You might want to drive to the nearest river or to the beach to escape the sizzling weather, but driving in that long dry grass,

the exhaust could easily ignite a fire.” He’s urging people in the rural sector to think about putting off their machine work to cooler times of the day. “Many farmers are harvesting their crops at this time of year and hay baling is in full swing. In this heat, the machinery they use to do that could run hotter, so we really want them to think about what they can do to reduce the fire risk.” In the year to June 2017, firefighters responded to nearly 4000 scrub or vegetation fires

around the country. They also went to nearly 11,700 medical emergencies. “Medical calls are now a big part of what Fire and Emergency do. We want people to look after themselves in this hot weather. It’s important people stay hydrated, they stay in the shade if they can, and take breaks if they’re travelling. “Often with warmer temperatures people get really tired and fatigued quite easily, so if you’re driving make sure you take rest breaks and take care of yourself.”

■ MOUNT HUTT COLLEGE

Newbies assigned big buddies By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

As new students poured through the gates of Mount Hutt College yesterday morning to scope out their secondary school stomping ground, it was in record numbers. Ninety Year 7 students and eight Year 8 students have donned the Mount Hutt uniform to become part of the school community – a whole extra classroom’s worth compared to last year. Year 7 & 8 Dean Rana Richards said the new students made three exciting discoveries yesterday – who their form teacher is and who will be in their class, what their timetable will be like, and who their “big buddy” is. She said it is traditional for new Mount Hutt students to be matched up with Year 13 buddies to help settle in. “The role of the Year 13s is to make sure they have a really good first year,” she said. “It’s like a peer mentoring programme. A lot of the Year 13s remember exactly how they felt when they were new, and the new students can ask them questions that they might not

Both victims named Police have now named both the victims of the fatal house fire in Dunedin’s Wesley Street on Monday. David Ian Clarke, 49, was named yesterday as the second victim. On Thursday, police said Anastasia Margaret Neve, 35, was one of the victims. The post-mortems have now been completed and the police investigation continues. On Thursday, police said the investigation into the two deaths and the house fire involves several different versions of events and “a fair bit of rumour and speculation”. Southern District Police investigations manager Detective Inspector Steve Wood said the fire in Wesley Street was a “complex scene”, and as a result, the postmortems were also complex and ongoing. “It’s just going to take a wee while to put this one together.” Detective Inspector Wood said police investigators had been hearing “a fair bit of rumour and speculation” about what had happened in the lead-up to the fatal fire. “We’ve got several reports of

Pilot programme to give refugees a helping hand The Government has launched a new pilot programme that will take a grassroots approach to settling refugees in New Zealand. Four community organisations around the country have been chosen to sponsor 25 refugees and help them settle into their communities. The services they will provide will include: the provision of furnished housing, helping them navigate their community and the services they need (such as enrolling in GPs and schooling), English language classes, and support towards paid employment and self-sufficiency. Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway announced the four organisations yesterday, who will sponsor the refugees due to arrive in the country by June 2018. They are Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand (Wellington), Gleniti Baptist Church (Timaru), South West Baptist Church (Christchurch) and the Society of St Vincent de Paul (Nelson) have been chosen by Immigration New Zealand (INZ). “This new approach will help bring communities together, so they can feel involved in support-

ing refugees to settle into New Zealand life,” Mr Lees-Galloway says. “With this grassroots approach come positive social, economic and cultural benefits, both for the community and the resettled refugees.” Lees-Galloway said the sponsored refugees will participate in a tailored two-week reception programme at the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre prior to settling in the communities with the settlement support provided by their approved community organisation sponsor. “The Community Organisation Refugee Sponsorship Category is only one of the ways this Government is committed to supporting some of the world’s most vulnerable people to rebuild their lives and thrive in New Zealand. This is in addition to and complements our existing refugee quota.” An evaluation of the pilot programme will be undertaken by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and completed by December 2018. The evaluation will be used to inform any future implementation of the new category. - NZME

Lakes re-opened after trout scare Canterbury’s high country lakes have been re-opened to trout angling after the Ministry of Primary Industries gave the all clear. The high country lakes near Arthur’s Pass – Lyndon, Pearson, Grasmere, Sarah, Hawdon and Marymere – were closed just before Christmas after trout caught there were found to have rashes over their sides and bellies. Fish & Game sent samples of the afflicted trout for analysis by Ministry of Primary Industries experts, along with native fish also found dead in the lakes. MPI experts say they could not find any virus or bacteria in the trout they tested and whatever caused the rashes was not infectious. They suggested that something in the environment was responsible. Based on the results, MPI experts have given the all clear to reopen the lakes and Fish & Game says that will happen immediately. Fish & Game New Zealand chief executive Martin Taylor is welcoming the news. “We are glad that whatever caused the rashes isn’t infectious. But at the same time, the fact that it occurred is of concern,” Taylor said. “MPI suggests that the cause is

Isitt thanked anglers for their support during the lake closures. “We would like to thank anglers for their patience through this period. We know it’s been frustrating, but it’s better to be safe than sorry when dealing with such threats to our trout fishery.”

Canadians get treaty lesson By Peter de Graaf Indigenous Canadian schoolchildren studying the Treaty of Waitangi as part of their curriculum will learn about it firsthand when they take part in Waitangi Day celebrations in Northland. The group of 19 children and seven adults from Chief Little Pine School, on a Cree reservation in central Canada’s Saskatchewan province, will spend a week in New Zealand with the highlight a visit to Waitangi on February 6. As well as experiencing as much as they can of Maori culture, the group will perform their own songs and dances on the Treaty Grounds main stage. The students, who are the equivalent of Year 7-8, will be hosted by Kawakawa Primary School while in Northland. Kawakawa Primary teacher Verbina Kopa said the connection between the schools came about during the First World Indigenous Games in Brazil in 2015 when she met Lamarr Oksasikewiyin, a teacher at Chief Little Pine School and a member of the Cree cultural group. Oksasikewiyin was intrigued by the Maori delegation, Kopa said. “He wanted to learn more. He has a real fascination with New Zealand and the treaty. Their school curriculum includes the treaties of the world, the Treaty of Waitangi among them. They decided to come here and see what it’s really about,” she said. The pair met again during the preparatory meetings for the Second World Indigenous Games and started making plans

for an exchange. While in Brazil the Cree also befriended members of the central North Island tribe Tuwharetoa, so the Canadians’ visit will start on February 2 in Turangi, where they will be shown the iwi’s sacred mountains. On February 4 the Cree group will head to Kawakawa; the following day youth worker and Maori games expert Wiremu Sarich, from Taipa, will take them to Hokianga with stops including Whiria Pa, near Whirinaki, and the great kauri Tane Mahuta. He also hoped to fit in a visit to Rewa’s Village, a replica fishing pa in Kerikeri. However, Kopa expected Waitangi Day would be their highlight. “They’ll go as early as possible and spend the whole day among the people, just soaking it all up – the culture, the food, the protests. It’ll be magnificent. They’ll be able to see all the things they’ve been reading about.” On February 7, once classes started again, the visitors would be welcomed at Kawakawa Primary School before flying home on February 8. Sarich said the visit was an opportunity to bring indigenous youth together and help them realise how much they had in common. He also hoped it would plant a seed in the minds of his youth about organising a return visit to Canada. The Cree group is scheduled to perform on the Treaty Grounds stage at 4.10pm. Kopa said she was grateful to Kawakawa Primary’s principal for supporting the visit. – NZME

Mum desperate to bring stillborn child home ment inside. I couldn’t feel his little tiny feet kicking anymore. All I felt was pain.” Katene’s son, Noah James Cockroft Clay was born at 1.30am. An ambulance came but it was too late. They were taken to London’s Royal Free Hospital where Katene held her son. She was discharged after five days. Katene is waiting on the results of a postmortem examination to determine the cause of Noah’s death and had arranged with the hospital to provide a funeral for him. But, she was told to expect a two to threemonth wait until a burial can be arranged and said she couldn’t wait that long. “Every day it gets harder just knowing that he’s still there.” Katene has started a GoFundMe page to bring her son back to New Zealand so he can be buried alongside her grandparents in Rotoiti, outside Rotorua. “It’s important to me because I want him to be next to family. My grandparents were the most important people when I was growing up,” Katene said. “I want to give my little boy the send-off he deserves and take my little boy home to New Zealand.” She wants to raise £4500 ($NZ8680) for the trip and funeral. So far she has raised £180 in two days. – NZME

Shyra Te Aroha Katene was five-and-a -half months’ pregnant, excited to visit the family in Rotoiti she hadn’t seen for four years. But, waiting to board a flight from London on Christmas Eve, her world crumbled. “I was ready to board my flight and I just started having sharp pains and thought I don’t really feel that good. I went to the bathroom and started bleeding. I knew instantly I couldn’t board this flight,” Katene said. Rushed to hospital, Katene spent six hours in a waiting room, she said. “I was still in pain and still bleeding.” Katene said she was told by doctors they couldn’t do anything for her until she had a scan, which they scheduled for her at another hospital on December 27, then discharged her. “I said to them ‘there’s something wrong I can’t go home’,” she said. “All I could do was hope and pray that my baby would be okay.” Nauseous and in pain, Katene spent most of the day sleeping then woke up at 1am on Boxing Day. “I knew there was something wrong. I was just bleeding so much and then he came,” she said. “My heart just sunk and my heart felt heavy. I couldn’t feel him or any move-

athryn, a guidance counsellor at a low decile high school in South Auckland, says she recently had one of the college’s more studious pupils in her office, telling her he believed Instagram had taken over his life. After the 17-year-old talked to her about the problem, he decided to delete his account and did this in front of her. “He spent between eight and 10 hours per day on Instagram, his mind was constantly on it,” Kathryn said. “He said ‘What was the world like before social media?’” She gave only her first name as she does not want her school, with less than 1000 pupils mainly of Pacifica heritage, identified, believing the problems she talks

about are encountered by most schools. Bullying and suicide ideation were some of the more serious issues. In her job she regularly saw students who self-harmed and one of them said to her recently that she just had to get off Facebook, mainly because of posts from a depressed friend who hated her life and was thinking of committing suicide. This had made the girl start to think the same way. Social media was contributing to the mental distress experienced by such vulnerable youth, Kathryn said. She said pupils in Years 9 and 10 mainly used Facebook and Facebook Messenger, and the two platforms had been causing problems for years. Abusive and insulting exchanges escalated into physical violence and fights were

caused from misunderstandings around comments. Sometimes parents became involved, making abusive posts in defence of their children. Cyberbullies created fake accounts to comment or privately message their victims and accounts got hacked by former friends or romantic partners who had fallen out. Many kids were not developing the skills to talk face-to-face and were building their social statuses around how many comments, likes, friends and followers they had. They were constructing their identities online, uploading photos which may not relate to their real lives and how they were feeling, but moreso in response to trends and peer pressure. Small numbers of pupils were also affected by pornography ad-

diction and online gaming addiction, she said. “There are positive sides of social media, but I think the amount of time young people spend on it is hugely detrimental,” Kathryn said. “For young people there’s more negatives than there are positives.” Annually, Kathryn was among teachers leading a school camp, where students had to hand their phones in before they went to bed. The rule was introduced after staff were kept up in the night dealing with emotional fallouts from pupils reacting to their latest social media updates. “I think it’s crazy, out of control really, for quite a few kids,” she said. In the relatively affluent rural hinterland of the South Island, problems at the 480-pupil Mount Hutt College may be slightly

different, but they are problems nonetheless. Paul Wilkins, a dad of two in his early 60s, has been a school guidance counsellor for almost 30 years, including the past 10 at the college. He has recently upgraded to a smartphone and can only reminisce about what things were like before these ubiquitous little devices arrived on the scene. Less than a decade ago, his guidance role focused on mediation, helping students with personal problems, family counselling and sorting out bullying. “But in more recent times, one half to one third of my role is in some way related to social media,” he said. He rues just how serious things have become in the past five years in particular and wants to see parents take more control of their

Social media ‘crazy,

out of control’

for many kids In the second part of a three-part series undertaken by Guardian reporter Susan Sandys, school guidance counsellors reflect on how the digital revolution and social media has changed the school social landscape. children’s internet use, and education around the topic to increase in schools. A recent survey he did at the school suggested students were spending up to eight hours per day interacting on social media and checking their phones up to hundreds of times throughout the day. Those in intense relationship situations, either romantic or friendship alliances, could be highly sensitised to any notifications coming through. “They are unlikely to ignore their phone because there might be an update. Their boyfriend might message to say ‘Let’s get back together’.” There is a tendency for youth to follow the latest trends exampled by celebrities and early on in a developing romance something a boy might ask for is a revealing

photo. Those photos might later end up on a networking site, causing much anguish for the girl. And he has counselled those in despair after finding out they are dumped from a romance upon checking their partner’s Facebook and seeing that ‘In a relationship’ has changed to ‘Single’. Schools playing catch-up It’s impossible for them to build a curriculum as quick as what social media is changing, it’s impossible for them to keep up with social media,” says Lucy McSweeney. The Auckland University student last year submitted a petition to the Ministers of Health and Education calling for better mental health education in New Zealand schools.

“

Among signatories was 22-yearold Jeff*. The University of Canterbury student wants to see robust mental health education in schools and to have this tied in with education around the risks of social media. “In Years 9 and 10 we had health lessons, but there wasn’t a big focus on mental health. I guess it’s a big topic that’s not talked about much,” Jeff said. He was bullied at school, in both the playground and cyberspace. He recalled one incident, when he was about 16, a fellow pupil picked a fight with him and as he walked away he was punched several times in the back of the head. “There was no-one willing to stand up and try and pull him off me,” Jeff recalled. The bully was stood down for three days, but he managed to gain

access to his aunt’s computer and broadcast his side of the story via Facebook. The boy was a popular student and soon there were other students commenting in support of him. “Young people making comments on social media don’t understand the effects they are having on others and how it contributes to overall declined feelings of self worth,” Jeff said. The Ministry of Education said it is addressing the risks of increased online access in its new digital technologies curriculum. Head of early learning and student achievement Ellen MacGregor-Reid said the ministry planned to work with schools to look at how the focus on young people growing up safe and responsible digital citizens could be strengthened.

New Zealand Secondary Principals’ Council chairman James Morris, who is principal at Darfield High School, said schools can struggle with integrating education on digital citizenship across the curriculum within all subjects. Many schools did an education exercise such as getting students to sign an agreement, but this could be a relatively ineffective way to teach such skills. When considering concerns around increased anxiety levels in teenagers, social media could be “an easy target”, he added. It was difficult to know whether or not it was exacerbating such issues, but he believed there was a stronger relationship between anxiety levels and ongoing NCEA assessment throughout the year. * Names have been changed

Closer to apocalypse The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists advanced the symbolic Doomsday Clock a notch closer to the end of humanity yesterday, moving it ahead by 30 seconds. It is now set at two minutes to “midnight”. In moving the clock 30 seconds closer to the hour of the apocalypse, the Bulletin cited “the failure of President Trump and other world leaders to deal with looming threats of nuclear war and climate change”. The organisation now believes “the world is not only more dangerous now than it was a year ago; it is as threatening as it has been since World War Two”, Bulletin officials Lawrence M. Krauss and Robert Rosner wrote. “In fact, the Doomsday Clock is as close to midnight today as it was in 1953, when Cold War fears perhaps reached their highest levels.” Krauss, a theoretical physicist, and Rosner, an astrophysicist, added: “To call the world nuclear situation dire is to understate the danger – and its immediacy. North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme appeared to make remarkable progress in 2017, increasing risks for itself, other countries in the region and the United States.” The clock, a metaphorical measure of humankind’s prox-

Outrage over cancellation For many, LCD Soundsystem’s upcoming Auckland show was to be the highlight of their summer. The reformed New York dance act were set to perform at Spark Arena on February 24 with Nicky Murphy in support. But the show was cancelled along with a run of Australian shows with promoters blaming “unforeseen conflicts”. “The band extend their sincere apologies for the cancellation and hope to return down under soon.” That was bad news for many Kiwi fans. Among those to complain were Breakfast presenter Jack Tame, who said he was “gutted” about the news.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved its “Doomsday Clock” ahead by 30 seconds. The organisation says the clock is now closer to symbolic point of annihilation than it has been since 1953 at the height of the Cold War. imity to global catastrophe, also advanced 30 seconds last year, to 2 1/2 minutes to “midnight” - the closest to the apocalyptic hour it has been since 1953, after the United States tested its first thermonuclear device, fol-

Nutella ‘riots’ spread across French supermarkets A discount on Nutella has led to violent scenes in a chain of French supermarkets, as shoppers jostled to grab a bargain on the sweet spread. Intermarché supermarkets offered a 70 per cent discount on Nutella, bringing the price down from Euro 4.50 (£3.90) to Euro 1.40. But police were called when people began fighting and pushing one another. “They are like animals. A woman had her hair pulled, an elderly lady took a box on her head, another had a bloody hand,” one customer told French media. A member of staff at one

Intermarché shop in central France told the regional newspaper Le Progrès: “We were trying to get in between the customers but they were pushing us.” All of their stock was snapped up within 15 minutes and one customer was given a black eye, the report adds. Similar scenes have been reported across France, with some being described as “riots”. Some 365 million kilos of Nutella is consumed every year in 160 countries around the world.

They want a ‘pakeha’ baby for the new role and say they “are not being racist”. “The baby is the fruit of two European, pakeha, characters. We just don’t want to put any question in the mind of the audience for them to think that maybe he’s not that person’s baby, so we have to be strict about it.”

Missing licence plate leads to huge fentanyl bust Mexico police found a multidrug shipment that included an astonishing 45.5kg of the synthetic opioid fentanyl in a vehicle near the city of Ensenada in Baja California, officials said yesterday. Fentanyl can be fatal in doses of just a few milligrams. To put the size of the haul in perspective, a seizure last year of 2kg of fentanyl in Colum-

bus, Ohio, was said by prosecutors to be enough to potentially kill the entire population of the city of 860,000 people. Police in Mexico said the drug shipment seized near Ensenada also included 415kg of crystal meth, 40kg of cocaine and 8.4kg of heroin. Police arrested a man who was driving an SUV stuffed with the drugs near Ensenada.

The drugs were so bulky they were stuffed into a pile of sacks that filled the rear of the vehicle. The man was initially stopped because he lacked a front licence plate. In November, Mexican authorities seized 14kg of fentanyl hidden in a car on a highway between the Gulf of California and San Luis Rio

Colorado, which is home to a border crossing with Arizona. An accidental overdose of fentanyl was determined to have killed music legend Prince in April 2016. And a coroner’s finding showed that among the medications found in the system of the late rock star Tom Petty were fentanyl and oxycodone. - NZME

Erykah Badu has responded to criticism following an interview in which she said she sees a good side to everyone, including Adolf Hitler. In a series of tweets yesterday, the singer stresses she was trying to impart a “message of compassion” and encouraged people to read the entire interview, not “out of context” headlines. The comments come a day after Vulture published an interview with Badu in which she had supportive things to say about Bill Cosby and Hitler. “I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler,” she said. In another tweet Thursday, the singer says she “used the worst examples possible” to “exaggerate a show of compassion.”

Some handy back to school tips Going back to school after a few weeks of fun and relaxation is never easy, but kids aren’t the only ones who struggle with it. Parents also find it difficult when their kids head back to school, and many experience emotions ranging from sadness to anxiety and even resentment. Fortunately, getting well-prepared a few days in advance can make easing back into the normal school routine a lot less overwhelming for both parents and kids. Here are a few handy back to school tips that will make the transition smoother. Encourage kids to set goals and take responsibility Encouraging children to set goals and take responsibility for the coming school year is a great way to get them in the right frame of mind. Research shows that kids who participate in setting learning goals are consistently more motivated and take learning more seriously.

Of course, what this means will depend on your child’s age, as a preschooler won’t be able to take on as much responsibility as one heading to primary or secondary school. But even younger children can be given simple goals to focus on, even if it’s just packing their backpack before bed each night. v With younger kids, you can ease

into the discussion by reading books about school and talking about the fact that they’ll be heading back soon. Find out what they’ll be working on and if there’s anything specific they’d like to accomplish, and then work together to make a list of steps they’ll need to take to reach those goals.

Engage with their curriculum If you want to help your child set appropriate learning goals, it’s important to engage with their curriculum and be aware of what they will be learning and are expected to be proficient in. Most kids deal with some level of stress or anxiety about school. One survey found that 53 per

cent of parents cite homework and schoolwork as the greatest driver of stress in their kids. But when parents are aware of what their kids will be learning, they’re better able to provide support and manage stress before school starts again. It’s always a good idea to talk to your child about what they have been learning, but if you can, try to speak with your child’s teacher as well. This will give you a chance to find out what you can do to support your child at home and also be aware of any specific areas they may need to work on.

Ease into the routine a few days early During the holidays, schedules are usually more relaxed and kids get used to going to bed and waking up later, which is one of the things that can make the first few days of school difficult. It can help to ease into routine by starting a few days early, so that everyone is already used to waking up on time by the time school starts. Kids are very sensitive to routines. If s for all students. getting to sleep on students time is a problem hiri to welcome all new and staff. after too many late nights, you can

Get organised The more organised you are the easier your first back to school mornings will be, so take the time to plan your morning routine in advance. This may include figuring out what time you need to get up, what you’ll prepare for breakfast and laying out some outfits the night before. Lunches are also best prepared the night before, and you can even get the kids involved by asking them what they’d like to eat and see if they’d like to help you chop vegetables, prepare sandwiches and organise the kitchen once you’re finished. Have fun with it School days may not be as exciting as holidays, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a sombre or boring time. Look for ways to keep things fun, whether it’s upholding family traditions, such as family breakfast and reading or watching a TV series together, or looking for extracurricular activities the kids will enjoy, such as swimming, football or music and art. Going shopping for new school supplies together and letting kids pick out their own pens, notebooks and other school supplies can also help them get excited about going back to school, even if it means the shopping trip might take a bit longer. Also keep in mind that kids are often quick to pick up on our attitudes towards things, so try to speak positively about school and emphasise the positive aspects of it, such as their friends and teachers or the cool things they’ll have a chance to learn.

Welcome to Tinwald School Tinwald School is a growing Year 1-6 Primary School serving the community of Tinwald, in Ashburton. The school operates an enrolment zone to ensure every child in Tinwald is guaranteed a place at the school. Please contact the principal on 03 308 4555 if you are unsure about where you live in relation to the zone. The board of trustees and staff have set a strong direction for learning through the school charter. Our 2017 achievement results demonstrate that the focus on raising individual achievement is making a difference. Teachers plan and implement programmes that cover all of the New Zealand Curriculum, but in particular focus on the core mathematics and literacy skills. Our curriculum is based on the concept of developmental to digital.

OUR VIEW

School’s back – slow down and take extra care Matt Markham

EDITOR

ays of lazing in the sun and doing not much other than chilling are about to come to an abrupt end for a certain portion of our population. As of Monday, we will see a lot of our young people back on their way to school – batteries charged, ready for some learning. The return to school is always an interesting one for both child and parent – the nest becomes empty once again for those of the older type while the younger ones are generally quite pleased, at least in some sense, to escape their parents’ grasp. For many it will be a first time experiencing these feelings while for others it’s just really another day in the life of having an older child. But as a district, we good people from around here need to be aware of what is going on as well. From Monday morning the roads are going to busier in the mornings and around 3pm – so we need to be even more vigilant of what is going on around us. All of a sudden, streets that have been barren and empty for the past couple of months will be alive with the presence of youngsters making their way to and from their place of education. Younger people are renowned for doing the unexpected so when we are travelling in a car, van or truck we must be extra alert around those key times as you never know what might run out in front of you unexpectedly. Generally, as a whole, the Ashburton District is pretty good at keeping things low-key when it comes to driving around town but we do have somewhat of a bad reputation on our rural roads – particularly for the way we approach school buses when they are dropping off or picking up students. So, the message here is pretty clear, I guess. Slow down that little bit more from next week and make sure you know what is going on around you. There is no way we want to start the new year with a tragedy and only we can control whether that happens or not.

YOUR VIEW Parking woes I’m led to believe that the personality and spirit of a community is reflected in its citizens’ (ie. ratepayers) choice of their duly elected local government representatives of said community ... which in the case of the good folk who call Ashburton (and surrounding areas) home, has “stamped” your community as a collection of people who are, sadly, unforgiving, rules-obsessed and lacking in any empathy/understanding of a simple “on the spot” indiscretion ... all because that a retired couple heading south (from Hanmer Springs to rural Otago) who considered the welfare of our little elderly dog, imprisoned as such, on a hot day, in our car, so that we could have a brief lunch-stop at Ashburton. One might of (misguidedly) thought, that in the Ashburton District Council’s lexicon of unforgivable human failings ... that our dastardly deed would be seen by your District Council officialdom as simply(?) a sign of caring human behaviour ... rather than an act of defiance, or simple stupidity (human beings can be so infuriatingly illogical at times). But their response was an emphatic “you’re guilty” and anything else was irrelevant ... including our concern for our dog; a loved family member. Thus, sadly, my attitude towards Ashburton has taken a sharp turn in direction of being a warm and friendly place ... to a town run/regulated by a bunch of not very nice people ... lacking in any sense of community spirit,

ethics and ... In short, I’ll never stop here (Ashburton) for a lunch break again. Furthermore, when I’m asked for attractive destination suggestions in the South Island by specialist international tour group operators, I’ll now just advise they would be best to avoid Ashburton and continue an extra hour, be it north or south, to a more civilised location. For readers of the Ashburton Guardian, along with the District Council’s January 15 2018 advice, there was an attached “crime scene” that seems worthy of reproducing. Readers may notice that our offending car was in fact just off the roadway, there were NO yellow lines or warning signs, etc., etc.. Lastly, I have to ask the citizens/ratepayers of greater Ashburton, are they aware that they have the luxury of employing an “Environmental Monitoring Manager” ... who also multi-tasks as a car parking authority? Reid McNaught, Strath Taieri, Otago Editor’s Note: This is the second letter from McNaught, regarding this parking offence. And while I sympathise with his plight and the impending fine that he has received for his indiscretion – there is no doubting from the photographic evidence he has provided that the parking undertaken that day was well out of the permitted guidelines and laws. Also, McNaught’s use of the “plight of his dog” as a defence in such an instance is, to me, ir-

The photographic evidence of the offence supplied by the Ashburton District Council to Reid McNaught. relevant considering the number of other spots available on his route through Ashburton that supply sufficient shade in which a dog, and its owners, can escape

the heat. I do, however, wish McNaught the best for his battle with the Ashburton District Council. Matt Markham, Editor

Waitangi Day celebrations are often marred by protests of one form or another.

It’s that time again Y

es, the end of January, early February, is upon us once again. We can, therefore, expect more aggression, rudeness and bad-temper at Waitangi and elsewhere, with insults and punches being thrown. New Zealand’s so-called “Day”, unlike those of other countries, is never one of celebration but, invariably, of challenge and confrontation. Hone Harawira, his mother and wider whanau will be making their ubiquitous presence felt and, as ever, the atmosphere on and near the marae will be noisy and “disrespectful” – to use the word of the hour. Plus ca change ... etc. However, this year, the pregnant presence of Jacinda – “problems melt before her”– Ardern, should have a hugely exhilarating effect on all concerned, with hongis and hugs actually conveying affection and respect. No longer the stilted ritual of nose rubbing purely for the benefit of custom and the media. So we must hope there will be a lot more love about this time round than anger and recrimination. Jacinda will undoubtedly be offered a string of Maori names for her forthcoming son/ daughter, any one of which, on its own, could produce a thawing in today’s mostly frozen relationship between Maori and Pakeha.

EYE ON POLITICS

The cause of the current imbroglio is the standing of Te Reo in the community and the ferocious commitment of Radio New Zealand to its dissemination. Thus, the remarks of our immediate past Prime Minister, “Farmer” Bill English, that “Maori need to speak Maori if they want to preserve the language”, and, “It is someone else’s language”, were always likely to produce a tsunami of protest and derision. And they have. For all that, what the former PM said is a justifiable expression of opinion shared by many thousands of New Zealanders. It is, surely, reasonable to suggest that those for whom Maori is their “mother tongue” should be able – and want – to speak it on a regular, daily basis, and, by so doing, join the fight to preserve it. In fact, figures for Maori fluency in their own language are very low. Hence, argue the nay sayers, the belligerent attempts of Radio New Zealand to swamp the network with Te Reo speakers in all aspects of its business – not

least from the likes of Guyon Espiner, Kim Hill, Catherine Ryan and other, slightly lesser, lights – and engage in wholesale war on the interviewees who fail to toe the “party” – i.e.RNZ – line. Thus has National Radio now openly and stridently resorted to a highly politicised approach to the “news” of the day, and woe betide anyone who appears on the network but has the temerity to refuse to conform. Political Incorrectness of that nature just cannot be tolerated. The campaign for Te Reo content amongst our state-owned broadcasters has entered a new and unwelcome phase. But just who are they attempting to satisfy? Themselves? Meanwhille, the crusade by Iwi to ensure entitlement over the beaches continues. Metre by metre, the coast line of Aotearoa, New Zealand, is being whittled away to form an impregnable ring round our shores. Pleading – permanently petitioning – “customary rights” and relying on a twisted interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi, local councils throughout the land are under siege. Never mind the Foreshore and Seabed Act, bravely established by the Labour Government in 2004 but cravenly repealed by the National Government a few years later; slowly but certainly the time is not far off when families making for a day on the beach will be met by steel-

meshed fences and a notice enjoining them to “Bugga Off” – as seen in the North last week. The Foreshore and Seabed issue has the potential to be at least as controversial and divisive as the wrangle over Te Reo, neither matter likely to enhance Maori, Pakeha relations. There can be little doubt that the struggle to establish two distinct forms of Government in our still pleasant land – Maori and Crown – is gaining momentum. If not quite in “leaps and bounds”, near enough to be hard to tell the difference. Meanwhile, would you believe it, Labour and National have “backed a new-look”, TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). The “details”, they say, have been satisfactorily worked out and – except for the grumpy Greens – differences put aside. Naturally, it has a much longer title than its failed predecessor. It now reads: “Comprehensive and Progressive TransPacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the 10 countries involved will sign up to it in Chile on March 8. This is undoubtedly good news – whatever Jane Kelsey may later have to say about it. To have the two main parties agree over anything is an outstanding political event in its own right? Can it be a portent of things to come in 2018. Now that would be a welcome turn up for the book.

Compromise pays off for Govt Political parties don’t usually like policy compromises but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern didn’t seem concerned when she announced her government’s labour law changes on Thursday. That’s MMP, she said, there were different attitudes within the coalition and they had to be worked through. Ardern confirmed NZ First had insisted on allowing small businesses to continue to use 90-day trial periods. Labour campaigned on scrapping them entirely after ferociously opposing the “fire at will” law passed by the previous government. The bill that Workplace Relations Minister Iain Lees-Galloway is due to bring to parliament next week will scrap 90-day trials for businesses with 20 or more employees. Those with fewer than 20 employees will still be able to use them. According to MBIE’s 2016 figures, 97 per cent of New Zealand businesses have fewer than 20 employees. But they employ only 30 per cent of the workforce, which allows the government to say 70 per cent of

workers won’t be at risk of being fired during a trial period with no reason given. Most big companies set their own probation periods anyway, and they’ll still be able to do that. Losing 90-day trials doesn’t seem to have fazed them at all, and no serious objections have been raised

Transmission Gully relief for contractor The New Zealand Transport Agency has given the joint venture building the $850 million Transmission Gully motorway north of Wellington some breathing room on its completion date after the November 2016 earthquake, followed by torrential rain, held up the project. The joint venture between CPB Contractors and HEB Construction building the 27-kilometre, four-lane highway updated its programme last year to include delays from those events, saying if the time impacts weren’t approved by NZTA and the publicprivate partnership contractor, Wellington Gateway Partnership, then the April 2020 opening date could get pushed out further than anticipated, to August 2020. The PPP contract has provisions for the contractor to seek relief if construction is hindered by events outside its control, subject to independent reviewer Aurecon New Zealand’s approval. Those terms allow for an exten-

sion to the start date, or NZTA covering the change in costs. NZTA senior manager project delivery Chris Hunt told BusinessDesk in an emailed statement the contractor sought relief for minor on-site delays as a result of the quake and flooding, which the government agency put to the independent reviewer. “The independent assessment concluded that 20 additional days will be required to complete work on Transmission Gully as a result of these events,” Hunt said. “The New Zealand Transport Agency has accepted this time extension.” NZTA valued the Transmission Gully assets and liabilities at $395.6 million as at June 30, 2017, up from $245 million a year earlier. The construction of the road, which traverses highly technical terrain, is estimated to cost $850 million, although the Crown agency anticipates $2.7 billion of total capital and operating ex-

penditure to build and maintain the highway over 25 years. The CPB HEB joint venture acknowledged the delays caused by the quakes and flooding last year, but said it had made good progress last summer, and monthly updates to WGP show it achieved “good productivities” in May and June, and wasn’t hindered too much by winter rain. The project faced a separate setback last year when it found work to dispose of “unsuitable material, ground improvements, environmental controls, topsoils stripping and stockpiling” didn’t appear to be “sufficiently allowed for in the consents”, and needed new consents for an additional 3 million cubic metres of earthworks, which it’s subsequently received. That pace of building work started hitting its stride last year with project hours on a 12-month rolling total reaching 1.63 million in September, up from about 897,000 in November 2016. – NZME

about the raft of other changes in the bill which include returning to statutory rest and meal breaks and amending the rules around unfair dismissals. BusinessNZ was unusually generous when it reacted to the announcement. “This decision shows the govern-

perhaps a good discipline on both parties”. Unions weren’t overjoyed with the outcome but didn’t seriously criticise the government. “We think it’s wrong that the fire at will law has not been fully repealed and we will be making this clear as legislation progresses through parliament,” said the CTU. It can be as clear as it wants, but it won’t get anywhere – without NZ First the government doesn’t have the numbers to get the bill through parliament. Federated Farmers praised NZ First. “Winston Peters has made the pledge to look after farmers’ interests and we acknowledge his support,” it said. The government clearly doesn’t want to upset the business sector ahead of the much more controversial fair pay agreements which are still to be negotiated, and it would like to reverse the trend of falling confidence within the sector. So far, so good. The first foray into labour law changes look like a win-win for Labour and NZ first. – NZME

Female board members increasing The number of women directors on listed company boards has jumped in the past year but still remains below 30 per cent. Figures released by stock exchange operator the NZX show 27 per cent of directors on NZX/ S&P50 boards were female in 2017. That is up from 22 per cent

from the previous year. Female officers grew from 18 per cent to 20 per cent for the top 50 companies. Outside the NZX 50 the number of women directors and officers were also up although they remain lower than the top company index. Female director numbers out-

side the NZX50 rose from 12 per cent to 14 per cent while the per centage of female officers grew from 16 to 19 per cent. The annual diversity report also shows more companies now have a diversity policy – growing from 44 per cent in 2016 to 51 per cent. – NZME

Based in the same building in the Riverside Industrial Park, Palmer Agri Parts Direct Ltd and The ToolShed Ashburton are a one-stop shop for farmers, tradesmen and handymen. Sharing the same location works a treat because there is a cross-over between the two and they complement each other. Whilst Palmer Agri Parts Direct Ltd offers a fully equipped engineering workshop, on-site and field service work plus imports a range of cultivation and plough parts out of Europe, The ToolShed Ashburton specialises in high quality imported tools along with also being major stockists of Makita, Hitachi, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Powerbuilt, Stanley and many more well-known brands. Since their 2016 shop renovations, which has seen their floor space double in size, both businesses have been enabled to showcase their range of products in a better way and also to increase their stock which is given their customers more options. And if they don’t have it, they are more than happy to source it for them. They pride themselves on a friendly atmosphere and great product knowledge.

Tinwald – there’s plenty to do and see On face value, Tinwald would appear to be just a town on the route out of Ashburton but a deeper exploration of what lies both east and west of the main line reveals there’s so much more to the integral part of the Ashburton District than just being a way in and out. A thriving and constantly

growing part of the make-up of Ashburton, Tinwald plays host to all sorts of people from all sorts of walks of life with a diverse culture makeup and an ever-expanding wealth of opportunities. As well as life’s necessities; supermarket, tavern, restaurant, petrol station, bakeries and cafes, the little gem in the crown of

the district offers a wide array of services to suit every requirement. And with a strong business hold and exceptional recreational opportunities, Tinwald really is a place for all to see and enjoy. Tinwald was part of the original Lagmhor Run. It was flat, swampy and covered in manuka, matagouri and flax when its first

settlers built their modest homes in the late 1870s. Up until 1955, Tinwald was regarded as its own township and was run and regulated by its own town board. As the area grew, so did expectations and across the bridge, Ashburton was expanding. It had its own piped water

supply, sealed roads and footpaths and a sewerage system, while Tinwald did not. The board found itself struggling to meet the costs for such upgrades and in 1954 a decision was made to amalgamate with Ashburton. That amalgamation ultimately led to setting the way for the Tinwald of today.

Lake Hood is a man-made recreational lake, located 6 km southeast of Tinwald in the locality of Huntingdon, Canterbury, New Zealand. It was opened in 2001 by the Right Honourable Jenny Shipley. It is 2.3 km long by 1 km wide and is more than 80 hectares (0.80km2) in area. It features an eight-lane rowing course and separate water-skiing and jet skiing areas, and is home to Water Ski Lake Hood. It is increasing in popularity for rowing, as it is not as susceptible to wind as the main South Island rowing venue, Lake Ruataniwha. A substantial housing subdivision, serving as a satellite suburb of Ashburton has been built surrounding the lake which continues to prove to be popular with buyers and builders. The renowned Lake House restaurant and bar is a must visit when out checking out the sights.

Terrace View Retirement Village

Retirement village.

Independent living: Open lounge and kitchen.

Assisted living: Bedroom.

They have studios, or one and two bedroom apartments along with three bedroom villa options which come with either a garage or parking space. There is also a communal lounge/theatre space, dining room, laundry facilities and a café / bar facility. All the rooms on site are modern, warm and spacious. Whether it be Terrace View’s quality meals and onsite services, or getting one’s health care needs met, Terrace View’s staff are second to none, and offer residents’ quality care right at their door. It’s just one more on-site option that gives residents – and their family members – peace of mind. Depending on the lifestyle option chosen, residents of the villas can keep their independent living in a secure property offering full kitchen facilities, living rooms and bedrooms for family visitors. Each villa has been professionally designed and the neutral décor is just ready and waiting for occupation. The apartment options offer the same security and freedom but in a smaller sized property. The apartments have also been designed to meet residents’ needs and care packages can be upgraded if those needs change. The studios also offer the same secure independence with a

range of service packages including 11 care suites providing a higher level of care. The Terrace View resthome and hospital has professional staff working in a modern and purpose-built facility. The large rooms come complete with ensuite and views of the grounds and gardens. The range of lifestyle options at Terrace View mean couples can remain close to each other in retirement if they have different health care needs. It’s just another bonus that gives some comfort for all concerned. As if the site and its facilities were not enough to prompt a call to Terrace View, the retirement village has another drawcard: at Terrace View, residency means no lawn mowing, maintenance or upkeep of the grounds or the property. That means more time to spend on other interests. The communal areas are a great way to keep in contact with other people and offer a facility for regular social activities. The lounge/ theatre area, with bar facilities, is also a great place to relax with others while catching up on local news, gathering for national, or sporting, events around the large communal television or to just sit and admire the fabulous garden setting and listen to the birds.

Serving Sport it up Tessa McCann might be one of the rising stars of the Canterbury tennis scene, but there’s nothing quite like coming home and beating her dad, and New Zealand representative, Neil, on the court. Matt Markham reports.

PHOTO MATT MARKHAM 240118-MM-006

here’s a remarkable difference in the Tessa McCann you see on the tennis court to the Tessa McCann you speak to on the phone. With a tennis racquet in her hand the young rising star is an absolute demon to watch. Fear and hesitation are not part of her repertoire, she dominates the court – looking completely at home. It is a comfortable and relaxed sight. Over the phone it’s a different scenario, though. McCann is quiet and speaks with a humble and unassuming attitude. It is almost as though she’s not yet fully aware of just how much of a star she is. At the end of the day, she just enjoys playing tennis and everything else is no more than a bonus. “It’s just something I’ve always enjoyed,” she said. “Tennis comes reasonably naturally to me, and I am pretty comfortable out on the court.” A noted name on the Mid Canterbury scene and a former winner of the coveted Gala Cup singles, McCann was always going to be a big fish in a small pond here in little old Mid Canterbury so it was only a matter of time before the big lights of the city beckoned her north. Attending Rangi Ruru Girls’ College during the week, McCann signed up two seasons ago to play in the premier women’s grade in Christchurch – a decision which she described as being quite the experience. “I learnt a lot during that season, it was really good for my game.” But after one year the desire to get back home and play on the familiar courts of the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre lured her back to the local interclub competition – which also created the opportunity to play again with family. “I quite liked the idea of coming back home on the weekends and being able to play tennis with Dad (Neil McCann). “He’s my biggest supporter and I call on so much advice from him after tournaments and matches, he’s been a massive help to me.”

Neil is no stranger to success on the tennis court himself. Late last year he travelled to American as part of the New Zealand team for the Senior Tennis World Championships. That came off the back of a winning double at the Tennis New Zealand Senior National Championships early in 2017 where he won the singles title and also the doubles with fellow local, Andre van Rooyen. “Dad has a heap of experience and knows tennis inside out so his input and experience is great to be able to call on.” After returning home for a season last year, McCann decided to once again try her hand in the Christchurch competition this season and so far it has worked the oracle. Not only is she the No.1 player in her Cashmere side, but she also now has a significant Canterbury title next to her name after winning the Women’s Senior Canterbury Open singles back in November. “That was pretty special for me, to win that,” McCann said. “I had to play some really good players and to be able to come out on top was a great result.” McCann’s style on the court is quite simple – she plays it tight – basing a lot of her play on that of Romanian star, Simona Halep, current World No.1. “I like the way she plays, she’s quick and plays it tight. It’s all about the percentages with her which I think is a great way to play. “I’d like to say I can do it as well as her, I try to anyway,” she laughed. Halep will be in action today when she takes on World No.2 Caroline Wozniacki in the final of the Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena. With her own ranking climbing by the week as she continues to achieve results, the world, it would appear, is at the end of McCann’s racquet and continued success will see her one day pushing for higher honours on the competitive stage of the tennis world. She heads into Year 12 at Rangi Ruru this year as well which means 2018 could be the biggest year of all so far for the local star.

In brief Munro will be missed Colin Munro has turned his future around in the space of the last few months. His absence from tomorrow’s final T20 against Pakistan with what’s been called a minor hamstring is a setback for the pugnacious left-hander, but seems not to be rated serious. In eight T20 matches this season, having sought and been offered the chance to reinvent himself as an opener, Munro has clattered 396 runs off 230 balls, averaging a cracking 66. He is the first batsman anywhere to complete three international T20 centuries. - NZME

Ticket system abused Over 100 spectators clearly older than 14 were caught trying to get into Thursday’s T20 international against Pakistan at Eden Park on children’s tickets. NZC have priced tickets for 14 years and under fans at $5. Student concessions are $30 and full adult prices are $40 if bought in advance through NZC or $45 at the gate. On Thursday night, the transgressors included a couple of 40 year olds, who were stopped at the gate and sent to buy full price tickets. - NZME

■ CRICKET

Lauriston still team to beat By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

There’s nothing to lose, but everything to gain for all teams in Mid Canterbury senior cricket action this weekend. Lauriston can lay claim to becoming the holder of the Pritchard Shield for the next 12 months courtesy of their victory in a nail-biting three-run win against Allenton last weekend. That means the grandstand finish with Tech that could have eventuated this weekend is now nothing more than a dead rubber, with only momentum to play for ahead of the start of the Muirhead Rosebowl next week. Lauriston’s win put them in an unassailable position for this week with a two-game advantage

over both Tech and Coldstream. The latter has the bye this week, but the former could gain some valuable mental strength if they were to topple the Pritchard winners on their own turf when they head inland on Saturday to tackle the formidable foe. For Lauriston, a win will be a continuation of their great season in the longer format. They’ve lost just the one match since the T20 competition came to a close and that came at the hands of Allenton pre-Christmas, so it’s been a long time since someone has got the better of them. Both sides boast formidable bowling attacks and some firepower from their batsmen and if everything else is equal – the

winner will come from the side who turn up to play cricket on the day. The Lauriston wicket does traditionally suit the bowler more, but batsmen who are willing to wait for the opportunities to come are usually well rewarded with runs square of the wicket to the narrower boundaries, as opposed to those who like to the loft to the skies in the direction of the long boundaries straight down the ground in either direction. Today’s other match will also be an interesting encounter, when Allenton trek up the road to tackle the cellar-dwelling Methven side. After winning their first game of the Pritchard Shield following

their victory in the T20 Competition, Methven haven’t been able to raise a trick since, losing six games on the trot. That’s a concerning statistic for the proud club who will be keen to get things back on track ahead of the Muirhead Rosebowl. They welcome back Davey Maw this week which will be a tick in the plus column but have to contend with an Allenton side who will be smarting following their loss last week to Lauriston which saw them out of contention to defend their Pritchard title. On the artificial at the Methven Domain, it will again be the bowlers who most likely make the most impact on the outcome of the match.

The term “master blaster” does not quite come to mind when thinking of ex-test opener Matt Renshaw. But Ben Cutting has boldly tipped the watchful left-hander to hit the ball just as far as the recalled Chris Lynn in the Brisbane Heat’s clash against Melbourne Renegades tonight. As expected, the destructive Lynn got the nod to return from a four-week calf injury, which Brisbane must win handsomely and rely on other results to scrape into the semi-finals. Cutting said the left-hander would surprise many, claiming Renshaw could match Lynn’s firepower with the bat. - AAP

Mourinho signs big deal Jose Mourinho intends to make his Manchester United stint the longest of his managerial career after signing a new deal. The former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss has penned a contract extension at Old Trafford that runs until 2020, with the option for a further year. Mourinho was appointed on an initial threeyear agreement in 2016 and has never lasted longer than three years and three months in any of his previous roles. “I think I feel a privileged one to work with such a fantastic group of boys,” he said.

First loss marks a crossroads for the Black Caps The Black Caps say the first chink in their golden summer is the wake-up call they needed. A 48-run loss to Pakistan at Eden Park on Thursday sets up a decider to the three-match Twenty20 international series in Mount Maunganui on Sunday, delivering the sort of high-stakes fixture that has been missing for two months. Three series whitewashes of the West Indies, a 5-0 ODI series drubbing of Pakistan followed by a first-up T20 victory lifted the New Zealanders’ winning streak to 13. That record run was dunked in

Auckland by a Pakistan side who were clearly motivated, seamer Ben Wheeler said. “We were a little bit off our game and they showed how well they can play when they’re at the top of their game,” Wheeler said. “They were unreal last night, it was probably a test of what it’s going to be like for the rest of the summer. “First-up, we’ve got a decider and hopefully we can win.” After that is a high-profile T20I triseries against Australia and England, followed by five ODIs and two tests against the visiting English.

Wheeler suspects the loss won’t make radical mental indents on his Black Caps team-mates, who often speak of not riding the emotions of wins or losses. They were to probably have a “good chat” when they arrive in Tauranga before focusing on the Bay Oval clash. Top of the strategy discussions will be who to field as opener alongside Martin Guptill after the in-form Colin Munro was ruled out with injury. Captain Kane Williamson (right) has opened previously in the shortest form and is a likely option unless a pinchhitter is promoted. - AAP

Five rookies in Supercars

Kiwi driver Scott McLaughline had many burnout opportunities last season.

The Supercars championship field has been set for 2018 with the final spots on the grid confirmed. Jack Le Brocq is the fifth rookie to get a fulltime seat and will drive the Tekno Autosports Holden this year. Le Brocq joins Kiwi Richie Stanaway (Tickford Racing), James Golding (Garry Rogers Motorsport), Anton De Pasquale (Erebus Racing) and Todd Hazelwood (Matt Stone Racing) in the first time drivers competing this season. Five New Zealanders feature as fulltime drivers with 2016 champion Shane van Gisbergen (Red Bull Holden Racing), championship runner-up Scott McLaughlin (Shell V Power Racing) and Fabian Coulthard (Shell V Power Racing) being joined this year by Stanaway and Andre Heimgartner (Nissan Motorsport). Shell V-Power Racing duo McLaughlin and Coulthard will get the benefit of filling the last two garages on pit lane courtesy of winning the team’s championship in 2017. It relegates Red Bull Racing a couple of spots down the lane for the first time since 2009. The last spot in the lane allows teams to get out on track first and gives them more strategy options as they can watch and react to rivals better. The season also marks the debut of two new teams on the grid. Matt Stone Racing steps up from the Dunlop Super2 Series with champion driver Todd Hazelwood while veteran racer Will Davison joins 23Red Racing, formerly known as Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport. The season gets underway with a test day on February 16 before the season-opening race on the streets of Adelaide in March. - NZME

Tiger Woods showed flashes of his brilliant best as he made a solid start to his first US PGA Tour event in 12 months after undergoing spinal fusion surgery. The 42-yearold carded a respectable round of even-par 72 at Torrey Pines, to be seven shots behind big-hitting first round leader Tony Finau at the Farmers Insurance Open. Finau’s seven-under 65 gave him a oneshot lead over Ryan Palmer and Ted Potter Jr. Woods also showed signs of rust having not competed in a full-field tournament since withdrawing from the Dubai Desert Classic last February. - AP

Strong Japan entries Defending champion Michael Hendry believes the strongest contingent of golfers from the Japan Tour are heading to Queenstown for the 2018 ISPS Handa New Zealand Open in March. Hendry, who became the first Kiwi in 14 years to win the Open after a playoff last year, plays in Japan and is among 25 players from that tour to compete in Queenstown. The Japan Tour contingent features nine of the top-20 from last year’s money list. They have collectively won 62 professional tournaments and more than $80 million in career earnings between them on the Japan Tour. - NZME

Ogier grabs the lead Reigning world champion Sebastien Ogier has taken the early lead in the WRC season-opening Monte Carlo rally. The M-Sport Ford driver leads the event after two stages despite suffering from a spin on the opening test in a chaotic start to the season. Ogier holds a 17.3s lead over Hyundai’s Andreas Mikkelsen with Dani Sordo third in another Hyundai. The Hyundai of Thierry Neuville was the big loser on the two night stages. He went off the road in the opening test and dropped four minutes. - PA

Hartley behind the wheel Kiwi driver Brendon Hartley will get to drive his new Hondapowered Toro Rosso Formula 1 car for the first time on February 21 in Misano. The STR13 is allowed to be run for the first time for promotional purposes – the session can’t exceed 100km and promotional Pirelli tyres must be used. The session will take place four days before the Toro Rosso outfit officially unveils their 2018 car at an event in Barcelona. The first four-day pre-season test begins the next day on February 26 when Hartley will able to really try and get to grips with the new car. The season gets underway with the Australian Grand Prix in March. - NZME

■ ELLERSLIE

Karaka coup on the cards Jim Bruford has tasted success in some big races. The New Zealand Bloodstock insurance guru will try for the biggest prize of all when Savvy Coup lines up in today’s Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie. Savvy Coup isn’t the sole major race winner to run for Bruford, who became widely known in thoroughbred circles through his time with New Zealand Bloodstock. A short-term stint in 1993 under managing director Joe Walls grew into a 24-year management role, which took NZB to Australasia’s top bloodstock insurer. “I loved it and stayed,” Bruford said. “But last year I handed management over to Mark Lock and I don’t work as many hours now.” Currently acting as an insurance advisor to the company, he saw many fine horses go through the Karaka sales ring and had a hand in looking after the bloodstock insurance needs of thousands of clients. Always with an eye on the action, Bruford has made numerous purchases in the auction ring but his first big race winner was a private purchase, Piper Star. Raced by his wife, Anne, and their three children – Anthony, Fraser and Callum and friend Jim Piper, the Roger James-trained

Savvy Coup is likely to be a big player in the Karaka Million today.

mare won the Gr. 2 Carylon Cup (1600m) and the Gr.3 Matriach Stakes (2000m). Bruford has also raced a number of horses in Singapore and Malaysia and was a part owner of New Zealand bred galloper Devonshire, who won the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor (2000m), one of the feature events in Malaysia. The Bruford family is joined in

the ownership of Savvy Coup by prominent owner Ray Coupland, his wife Jill and son Lance. The Savabeel mare is trained at Riccarton by Michael and Matthew Pitman, who have been instrumental in Bruford’s more than 150 wins as an owner. “Last season they trained an incredible 20 winners I had ownership shares in,” Bruford said.

“They have trained 60 winners for me.” The association began with Our Genes, the winner of 25 races from 162 starts, who retired sound as a bell as an 11-year-old. The study of thoroughbred families and insistence on strong maternal sires led Bruford to Savvy Coup and his other winners. “I had been looking at Savvy Coup’s family for a couple of years and I was looking for Savabeel fillies in my price range,” he said. “At $65,000 she fitted the bill, although she wasn’t a big filly she was athletic.” Three wins, including the Gr.3 Eulogy Stakes, and a third placing in the Gr.1 Levin Classic makes Savvy Coup a valuable filly. A few weeks after the purchase, a casual chat resulted in the Coupland family joining the ownership. “Ray has been unwell lately and won’t be at Ellerslie on Saturday, but Lance is coming up and my family will be there,” Bruford said. “It’s exciting, it’s everyone’s dream to have a horse capable of running in the big races whether it’s a million dollar race or whatever. “She’s ready to perform and the bookies think she’s a good chance at $6.50 so Saturday can’t come quickly enough.” - NZME

Williams optimistic Peter Williams is happy to roll the dice with two talented five-yearold mares on Saturday’s Karaka Million night at Ellerslie, despite impediments facing the pair. The Byerley Park trainer will saddle Caprikosa in the Westbury Classic and Symphonic in the Windsor Park Stud City Of Auckland Cup. Drawing barrier 14 with Caprikosa was a blow to Williams and his co-trainer and wife Dawn, but the couple have pledged to press on. - NZME

Campbell team ready Patrick Campbell has two Trentham contenders at the top of their games while their stablemate may be in indifferent form, but capable of turning it around. The Hastings trainer has the last-start winners Hunta Pence and Scandalo engaged today while Goodsav is the enigma of the team and hopes are pinned on a gear addition to bring out his best. Hunta Pence will step out in the Kamada Park Summer Cup off the back of a 2100m victory at Otaki. - NZME

High hopes for Kendra Greg and Nina Hope have made a name for themselves as the breeders of Monbet and now they look set to have a star juvenile pacing filly in the form of Kendra. The daughter of Sportswriter and Robyn Blue has had three trials for three good wins, including a 1.56.6 mile at Ashburton during the week, and Greg is presently contemplating taking her north for the Young Guns Series. - NZHN

In brief Ferns on try rampage The Black Ferns Sevens have made a strong start to their campaign at the second event in Sydney, comfortably beating Japan and England. On the opening day of competition, Kiwi speedster Michaela Blyde looked like she was eyeing backto-back top try scorer titles and she bagged four in the opening two matches. Blyde wasn’t the only Kiwi getting amongst the points, with Portia Woodman scoring seven tries. The Black Ferns opened their tournament with a 48-7 win over Japan in a Woodman-led show that saw the New Zealand side run in eight tries to one. - NZME

Henry helping Auks Former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry has answered the call to help revitalise Auckland rugby, stepping in this year to mentor both players and coaches. Auckland just avoided relegation from the top-tier premiership in last season’s national provincial championship, winning only three games from 10 and edging demoted Waikato by just one point. Auckland head coach Alama Ieremia said he was looking forward to working alongside Henry, not only from a technical and tactical point of view, but also one of identity and culture. - NZME

Hampstead, Methven roll on By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@thegaurdian.co.nz

Both Hampstead and Methven will pick up where they left off in Mid Canterbury’s A grade tennis competition this weekend when play resumes for the New Year. The two sides, who finished first and second respectively, currently sit in exactly the same spots after two rounds of the second round of the competition as the only two unbeaten teams after two games. Hampstead, who claimed round one honours by beating Methven in the final match of the round, registered easy wins

against Southern and Allenton to get the second round under way and will this weekend take on Tinwald who have just the one win next to their name for the season so far. Spearheaded by team No.1 Aidan Mitchell, the Hampstead side has been ruthless, particularly in their singles matches where they have only lost five of their 28 matches for the season. Mitchell has been particularly devastating, losing only to Peter Leonard in singles this season. Tinwald have suffered defeats at the hands of Methven and Southern and have chosen a for-

midable foe to try and get their season back on track against in 2018. Methven, who have been beaten by Tinwald and Fairton so far in the second round, will be out to try and push themselves closer to Hampstead with a victory against Allenton. The Methven side have been consistent throughout the season, losing only their last round clash with Hampstead last year. With the talented Sam Bubb leading the team from the No.1 spot, they’ll always be a tough opponent and will be keen to keep that tag in 2018 after mak-

ing good progress in the first half of the season. Southern will be looking to continue on from their victory last week when they take on the experienced Fairton side in the day’s other A grade clash. In A reserve action, a top-ofthe-table clash between Allenton and Methven Gold will kick start the new year of play. The two sides are both yet to taste defeat in the second round. Methven Diamonds will take on Southern/Wakanui in another of the matches while the two Hampstead sides, the Aces and the Hillbillies will do battle.

Sydney Roosters captain Boyd Cordner and his deputy Jared Waerea-Hargreaves are expected to be fit for the NRL club’s preseason opener against Penrith after successful stem cell knee procedures. Both were expected to take part in full contact sessions next week, but are still training away from the main group after undergoing treatment last month. But the Roosters said the pair would be available for selection for their opening trial against the Panthers at Penrith Stadium on February 17. - AAP

Read calls on Warriors All Blacks captain Kieran Read has paid the Warriors a visit to share insights about the mental side of sport. Read accepted an invitation from Warriors management to address the team as they went about preseason in Papamoa. Last year the Warriors finished 13th with seven wins from 24 games. The club has also missed the top eight playoffs for the past six seasons. Read attended Rosehill College in Papakura, South Auckland, and said he had always been a fan of the Warriors. “They’ve always been a team that throws the ball around and loves expressing themselves that’s why I loved them back in the day,” he said. - NZME

Tennis greats seek out the secret of Federer’s success Mystified tennis greats want to know the secret to Roger Federer’s extraordinary longevity after the ageless Swiss added to his legacy with another record-setting Australian Open run. At 36 and 169 days, Federer is not only the oldest man in 41 years to reach the semi-finals in

Melbourne, but also the only player in history to make the last four on 14 occasions. And while his chief rivals were either too battered to contest the season’s first major or have long since departed, Federer is showing no signs of slowing down. Two-time Davis Cup winner

Wally Masur doesn’t want to predict Federer’s next feat so much as gain a greater insight into how the 19-times grand slam champion has managed to retain his supreme level after 20 years on tour. “I’d like to sit down with him and his fitness trainer and just forensically learn what was the

plan,” Masur said. “That might be the great mystery because it mightn’t be that sophisticated – or it might be really cleverly done.” Adding to the legend is the fact that while Novak Djokovic is fastidious about his diet, the ultra-relaxed Swiss is often seen frequenting restaurants along the

Yarra, totally at ease in tourist hotspots. “This is maybe where Federer has got it stitched up. He can walk into an art gallery of a big match under lights at Flushing Meadows,” Masur said. “He’s got some sort of perspective that a lot of tennis players don’t have.” - AAP

Hospice Mid Canterbury is a registered charity with the vision of providing supportive holistic care to enhance the quality of life for all people dealing with life-limiting illness and bereavement. To do this, we encourage a culture of caring, compassion and respect in all areas of our organisation. These are our core values. The Client Manager will be the primary point of contact for our clients and carers, referrers and other service providers. This person will ideally have a level of clinical understanding. The Client Manager will work closely with the Volunteer Manager who recruits and support volunteers. Due to the shared nature of these positions, there will be some crossover of roles. The position will be part time, approximately 12 hours per week initially, with flexibility. It is intended that these hours will be covered over 3 days. The person we are seeking will enjoy working collaboratively, but will also be able to self-motivate. This person will enjoy finding solutions to improve clients’ quality of life. We are seeking a person with the following qualities: • A caring, compassionate nature • Respect for others • Generosity of spirit • Affinity with the hospice philosophy • Strong communication skills • A logical thinker • An active listener • The ability to keep good records and ensure systems are maintained • Computer and organisational skills • The ability to maintain confidentiality at all times To apply, or for more information, please contact: Jane Wright, admin@hospicemc.nz, 0274 362 361.

The Ashburton Guardian has an opportunity for a passionate reporter to make their mark in the world of sport. We’re looking for someone who lives for sport – all codes, who is keen to get to know the triers, the grinders the good teams and the sporting stars of the Ashburton District. You’ll be a one-person sports team, among an editorial team of experienced journalists, covering everything from representative rugby and netball, right down to primary school’s football and hockey. The Guardian is a progressive, six-day a week newspaper in the heart of a sporting strong hold. Our sports coverage is one of the cornerstones of the business. Our readers are passionate players, watchers and arm-chair critics who love nothing more than reading a good yarn about local sporting stars or teams. Sport takes place at any time on any given day, so you’ll be flexible with your working hours and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to provide the sports coverage that the paper requires. You’ll also get the opportunity to swing one of our cameras around from time to time too. Weekend work in this role is a given, but that does mean that you’ll get time off during the week to enjoy everything our district has to offer. That could mean that in Winter you are on the slopes within an hour of raising your head from the pillow or in summer out on the lake after just a 10-minute drive. If you think you could be the sporting star we are looking for, then we would love to hear from you. Send us an application letter along with your CV, telling us about your passion for sport and what you could bring to the Guardian team. Please send your application, along with CV to Matt Markham by e-mail: matt.m@theguardian.co.nz or post to Box 77, Ashburton 7740. Applications close, February 12.

Saturday, 27 January 2018

A ridge lies over much of New Zealand, with a decaying trough moving slowly away to the east of the North Island. A frontal system over the southern oceans is moving eastwards and becomes slow-moving over the lower South Island tonight. The ridge starts to drift slowly east during Tuesday as a front approaches from the southwest.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Entrances should come with announcements. Whether you’re stepping into the room or into someone’s life, make sure there’s style to it. Don’t sneak in. Take this opportunity to make a unique statement. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Thousands of stunning selfies cannot a beauty make. Images are always in the past and being beautiful is a present state, one that you’ll easily achieve today. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You shine in even ordinary situations. Actually, the ordinary situations of today will be especially good for this, as you’ll catch people off guard. Just don’t let it go to your head when they fall for your charms. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Today’s work will be a little like stringing beads. As you make small, continuous improvements, you wind up with something intricate, lovely, substantial and complete. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You are strongly inclined to help another person and want the best for this person – that’s almost enough to call it a friendship. Take it the rest of the way by making this a habit, and a mutual one. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Smiling is the easiest way to show confidence. And if you’re not feeling confident, smiling is a good way to get there. So is listening carefully. People will thrive under the nourishment of your attention. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): People imitate others – not for a lack of creativity; it’s just that humans are wired to learn through imitation. So when you do something different today, it will be all the more remarkable. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It is said that there’s no money in poetry and no poetry in money, and yet there will be a bit of financial justice today that plays out in such a way that challenges this assertion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You can’t change the facts of what has happened, but you can realise the deeper reasons involved, and this may cause just the change necessary to allow you to let it go. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Putting people on pedestals is bad for everyone. For starters, at some point, the elevated person is going to have to come down, whether by fall from grace, gradual decline or purposeful humility. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ll be asked to weigh in, though it might not be smartest thing to do. Try asking this magic question instead: What do you think you should do? PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Though it seems that everything has a price, in today’s case it’s an emotional price that will matter more than a dollar amount. It’s not about the money; it’s about what the money means.
