■■ACC CLAIMS Saturday the most dangerous day

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay [email protected] Saturdays might be a day to sit back, relax and kick-off the weekend, but they are also the most dangerous day in the week. Statistics from the Accident Compen- sation Corporation show that the five days where the most accidents occurred in the district in 2019 were all Saturdays. August 24 was the most dangerous day of the year, with 61 claims, while May 25 followed closely behind with 60, while September 7 and May 11 both had 59 claims. Those high claim days have totals less than what happened in 2018, with the most accidents in one day in 2018 happening on August 11, where 68 took place. ACC says the reason for the spike on weekend days is down to people doing a lot more activities on the weekend. “People do a lot more on the weekend, maintenance, DIY projects, and gardening around the house; doing various forms of recreation; kids spending much of the day playing, and more people on the roads,” an ACC spokesperson said. “On top of that some people are still working so work-related injuries occur, and of course Saturday remains the major day for most organised sports. So it all adds up to more injuries occurring on a Winter sports like rugby lead to Saturday being the most dangerous day of the week according to ACC statistics. Saturday.” PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

Police are bringing in extra officers and will continue to be armed for “as long as is deemed necessary” after two unconnect- ed shootings on the East Coast over the weekend. Hawke’s Bay police say the two gang shootings in Ruatoria and Taradale over the weekend were not connected and there was one arrest in each case, with more likely. In a statement yesterday, East- ern District Commander Super- intendent Tania Kura said staff from outside the district were supporting local staff with an increased police presence in Ruato- ria and Taradale. Emergency services workers tend to the injured. “In relation to the police re- sponse to these incidents, staff continue to be armed and will be for as long as is deemed necessary,” she said. “Our inquiries to date indicate Two seriously hurt after the two incidents from the weekend were as a result of ongoing tensions between the Mongrel Mob and the Black Power gangs. “Gang violence in our community is not acceptable and will not bus rolls near Queenstown be tolerated.” Kura said she wanted to thank NZME on the bus, all foreign nationals, ment will be needed to move the mostly happened in winter. members of the public who had Jensen said. rolled bus.

In our experience most people are pain free in around three months, then the Teeter is used daily to maintain the health of the body. WHY TEETER? The biggest issue with inversion tables is there is no safety standards that need to be met. Because of this, other brands use mild steel for 100% of the metal involved. Mild steel is great for static loads, in other words things that don’t move such as chairs, tables etc, however with Inversion Therapy there is considerable movement and this movement causes mild steel to ex. Because it always exes in the same place it eventually causes metal fatigue and can result in failure. Inversion NZ Ltd All Teeters are manufactured for extreme safety.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Wednesday, Janu- ary 22, the 22nd day of 2020. There are 344 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On January 22, 1998, Theodore Kaczynski pleaded guilty in Sacramento, California, to being the Unabomber responsible for three deaths and 29 injuries in return for a sentence of life in prison without parole. On this date: In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent. In 1840, the New Zealand Company’s first settler ship, the Aurora, arrived at Petone, founding the settlement that would become Wellington. In 1901, Britain’s Queen Victoria died at age 81 after a reign of 63 years; she was succeeded by her eldest son, Edward VII. In 1944, during World War Two, Allied forces began landing at Anzio, Italy. In 1953, the Arthur Miller drama The Crucible, set during the Salem witch trials, opened on Broadway. In 1970, the first regularly scheduled commercial flight of the Boeing 747 began in New York and ended in London some 6 1/2 hours later. In 1973, the US Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalised abortions using a trimester approach. In 1987, Pennsylvania treasurer for UN sanctions imposed the battered agenda and rally Piper Laurie is 88.

■■TENNIS Impressive start for Nadal

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal won his first-round match against Hugo Dellien in the Australian Open yesterday. Only one of Nadal’s 19 Grand Slam singles titles have come at the Australian Open – in 2009 – and he lost last year’s final to No- vak Djokovic. But he started this year’s edition in emphatic fashion, with a 6-2 6-3 6-0 demolition of Dellien. Meanwhile world No. 12 Johan- na Konta has been rocked by Tu- nisian Ons Jabeur in a major upset during the Australian Open first round. At the 1573 Arena in Melbourne, world no. 78 Jabeur defeated the British star in straight sets, 6-4 6-2. She had previously never pro- gressed to the second round of the Australian Open, this being her fourth tournament. After breaking Konta’s serve in the opening set, Jabeur raced to a 4-1 lead in the second. The Brit was never able to cover, Jabeur breaking serve once again to comprehensively claim the second set 6-2 in only 26 minutes. The Tunisian hit nine winners and only two unforced errors in the second set. Born in Sydney, Konta represented Australia before moving to England in 2012. She reached the Australian Open semi-finals in 2016, where she lost to eventual winner Angelique Kerber. Jabeur will face either France’s Caroline Garcia or America’s Mad- ison Brengle in the second round. Konta has been recovering from injury, and was certainly not at her best on Tuesday. This first round exit marks her John Millman of Australia plays a shot on his way to a four-set victory over Ugo Humbert, who was fresh from winning the ABS worst performance in an Austral- Classic in Auckland last week. ian Open.
