Two vehicles were parked in the driveway the dog had come from but no one came out to help her, she says. With one hand behind her back she surreptitiously waved down two passing cars and the dog ran under a ute parked in the driveway. Because she had not been bitten, Mrs Smith declined an offer to be taken to hospital. But she did ask her rescuers to call animal control about the roaming animal that had attacked her. Before continuing her walk home she asked the people to keep an eye on the dog until she was at a safe distance. She shook for an hour-and-a-half after she got home, she says. She bandaged her leg to help control the swelling and lay down to help ease the MP setting up house in Gisborne pain.

CALM IN THE BAY: Settled seas and fine overhead conditions paved the way for the visit today of the cruise ship Regatta as concerns around big swells in Turanganui-a-Kiwa/ Poverty Bay came to nought. East Coast beaches have been getting an easterly swell of around two metres but it’s not getting into most of the Bay. Regatta, with 800- plus passengers, made her maiden visit to Gisborne as she cruised sedately into the Bay at around 8am. The tendering of passengers started about an hour later. Gisborne’s cruise ship organisers had everything ready to go to welcome passengers ashore for the day. Unfortunately the maiden visit by the smaller ship Le Laperouse was cancelled yesterday due to the forecast heavy seas. Le Laperouse will have more chances to dock in Gisborne this summer, with two more scheduled visits in March. Regatta returns on March 15. The luxury cruise ship Seven Seas Voyager will call here tomorrow. Picture by Liam Clayton

by Megan McEachern, NZ Herald

AUCKLAND — Motorists are still confused about the “ambiguous” drink- driving laws, with many believing they are fine to get behind the wheel after three drinks. New research released today shows the average motorist has a significant knowledge gap when it comes to the laws. OPEN DAY While nearly three-quarters of motorists are confident they understand the rules, only 22 percent actually know the correct legal adult limit — and 20 percent believe they can have three or more drinks before driving.

There was a time when it looked as though Woods was running out of time to catch him, especially with recurring leg injuries and then back problems that led to four surgeries. Now that Woods has ended 11 years without a major with his Masters victory for major No.15, the race is on. History is not on the side of Woods. He turned 44 three weeks ago. When he gets to the Masters, only six players older than Woods will have won majors, no more than one each. Still, the Nicklaus name is back in the conversation. He will watch. He will answer questions about whether Woods can catch him, as Nicklaus has done for nearly two decades. Nicklaus always said he thought Woods could do it. One year at a charity lunch for his Memorial, Nicklaus got the same question, gave the same answer and then asked what kind of headlines it would make if he had given a different answer. What makes him feel more relevant are the questions he fields from younger players. Charl Schwartzel came to talk to him about the Masters in 2011, a short time before the South African birdied his last four holes to claim the green jacket. Patrick Cantlay met with him last year before winning the Memorial, and Cantlay was with him again on a Saturday last fall, watching football and talking majors.
