Drivers are paying more at the pump this month as AAA Texas reports a spike in gas prices.
The average price in Dallas was $3.414 per gallon for regular unleaded gas today, 10 cents higher than last week and 20 cents higher than drivers paid a month ago.
The price is actually on par for what drivers paid a year ago when prices were $3.411 per gallon.
Diesel prices are on the rise today, too. The price went up about 6 cents to $3.861 per gallon in the last week and about 11 cents in the last month.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Winnipeg's parks -- spring into them
The Prairies are known for their bone-chilling winters during which we often dream of summer.
But this winter has probably been the longest and most difficult to endure in years. Because it never seems to end.
We long to get outside to breathe in the intoxicating aroma of fresh air. We dream of feeling the soft green grass beneath our feet and sitting quietly basking in the warm rays of wonderful Prairie sunshine. That same sunshine that in the spring slowly and miraculously brings all of nature to life all around us.
Here in Winnipeg, we have early civic pioneers to thank for the lush, green and beautiful oases of land we will soon get to enjoy. Kildonan Park, Assiniboine Park and St. John's Park, along with others, will soon be teeming with life once more as grown-ups and children seek respite from still-lingering snowdrifts and too many months of living indoors.
When you think about it, the ideas they put forward for our city at the beginning of the early 1900s were creative, generous, forward-thinking and visionary. The stuff of dreams.
So much so that Winnipeg's Dominion magazine described this city as the most beautiful and picturesque in Canada in 1910.
In Kildonan Park, gigantic and lovely elm, cottonwood and oak trees will soon blossom amid scenic flower gardens, walking paths and a tiny creek often filled with ducks in the summer months. The beautiful but unpredictable old Red River curves alongside its banks.
All of our parks add to our city, offering beauty, recreation, enjoyment and a type of healing only nature can provide. Not only when we are winter-weary but even in the languid summer months when the city closes in on us with too much noise, cement, traffic and just plain too much.
Ed Drewry was the first parks board chairman from 1893-97, says Vince Leah in Pages from the Past. "A man of remarkable vision... he could see the need for parks and community centres 80 years ago. Greater Winnipeg has the finest parks system in North America. The beauty and greenery of our parks, big and little, form the memorial to one of the most astute citizens that ever graced our city."
In an article for the Manitoba Historical Society, The most lovely and picturesque city in all of Canada: The Origins of Winnipeg's public park System, the authors tell us the topic of park development first came up in 1892.
"The policy in all civilized countries is to reserve large areas of land where the citizens of all classes can escape from the noise and smoke of the crowded streets for pure air and recreation."
In 1907, Winnipeggers led by George Champion recognized the city needed green spaces, often referred to as lungs, with landscaped walks, trees, shrubs and flowers to rejuvenate its citizens -- a breath of fresh air, so to speak.
Simply put, our parks and now our walking trails are today amazing and contribute immensely to our quality of life.
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights promises to be a visionary and edifying contribution to our city. The Forks National Historic Site with its walkways and green spaces, restored buildings and shops, adds overwhelmingly to the enjoyment of locals and visitors alike.
Our beautiful Prairie summers are short, however, and Winnipeg has one of the longest, coldest winters in Canada. Because of this our wonderful green spaces lie submerged and almost forgotten under thick blankets of snow for too many months at a time.
Perhaps one day, a centrally located indoor garden could make for an inspiring use of available land near The Forks. It could only add to the beauty and greenery of our city and it would certainly contribute to the quality of life of Winnipeggers during the long, bleak months when our part of the world is tilted seemingly endlessly away from the sun.
We can only dream.
Cheryl Girard is a Winnipeg writer.

Suzuki added its affordable Forenza Wagon to its already popular sedan offering two years ago, redefining the value equation in the Premium compact wagon segment. The Forenza lineup features euro-styling by the famed Italian Pininfarina studio, designers of the Ferrari F355 and Maranello. The compact wagon provides a wealth of European wagon DNA. The ride and handling characteristics also reflect a European influence.
Initially, there were three trim levels available for both the Forenza sedan and wagon: the base model S, a mid-level LX and the top-of-the-line EX.
A new packaging philosophy is now the key, with a singular trim level that allows customers to add options to satisfy their individual needs and requirements features such as antilock braking with the electronic brake-force distribution option, the Convenience Package or the Popular Package.
The base trim level comes with either a five-speed manual gearbox or the optional four-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, speed-sensitive power rack and pinion steering, heated power side mirrors, air conditioning, AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with eight speakers, front and side impact air bags, and power windows and door locks.
The Forenza Wagon also provides silver painted roof rails. The Convenience Package consists of remote keyless entry and cruise control, while the Popular Package adds remote keyless entry, cruise control as well as a power tilt-and-slide sunroof.
All Forenza models draw their motive power from a sophisticated 2.0 liter DOHC, 16-valve in-line four-cylinder engine that delivers 127 horsepower and 31 pound feet of torque to the front wheels.
The test Forenza wagon was finished outside in Cobalt Blue metallic and inside in complementary gray-toned cloth, with aluma-look trim accents on the dash, console and doors. The base price was set at $15,699, with the final sticker showing a total of $16,049 after adding the optional Convenience Package and destination and handling charge everything else was included as standard fare. Adding to the overall value is an extensive, transferable powertrain limited warranty with 24/7/365 roadside assistance.

why would a fan belt keep slipping off of a 99 honda passport
3 Answers
The tensioner is no longer working correctly, the belt is worn, a pulley is broken or all of the above.
the tensioner pulley doesnt wiggle but the powersteering one does car ran out of oil completley then rip fan belt not in half but two thread lines off why does car shut off
Because without your belt turning the alternator and other accessories, it will shut off. Also when you say car ran out of oil, do you mean the power steering pump or the engine oil. If engine oil all leaked out, your motor will seize and stop. Is that what you are saying?

Staff at the Bangalore Polo Club restaurant called police at 2.40pm after spotting a man in the bar with what appeared to be a hand gun sticking out of his pocket, Inspector Dave Rose said.
Armed police blocked the street between Tory St and Taranaki St.
The gun turned out to be a toy plastic gun and the street was reopened by 3.10pm.
Police were speaking to the man, Rose said.
Passer-by John Paintin said Courtenay Pl was packed with people because of the public holiday.
He saw half a dozen police cars outside the Bangalore Polo Club and armed police escort the man out. "He was handcuffed from behind."

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claims he is being victimised by FA after receiving fine
Published: 09 May 2014
Updated: 13:17, 09 May 2014
Jose Mourinho feels he has been singled out for punishment by the Football Association compared to other managers in the game.
Mourinho has been fined £10,000 for comments he made after Chelsea's defeat to Sunderland after being found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute.
He has also lost his appeal against the £8000 fine and an improper conduct charge for his behaviour during the match at Aston Villa, where he was sent off by referee Chris Foy.
In a clear reference to outspoken rival Arsene Wenger, Mourinho feels he is no longer able to give his opinion on the game without the fear of censure.
While Wenger spoke about Manchester City's punishment for failing Uefa Financial Fair Play rules, Mourinho was more hesitant.
He said: "In football, everything is about money – even the sanctions are about money. I think there are people in this country, even colleagues of mine, they're in a better situation to speak about it. They're not punished."
Asked about his views on the FA's plans to revolutionise English football, he added: "I'm afraid of comment because if I comment in a positive way I can be punished. If I comment in a negative way I can be punished. I have to adapt to the situation is to come with a very English answer which is 'no comment.'"
When pressed on his views on losing his appeal over the £8,000 fine, he added: "No comment because I don't want to pay 9,000. Finish."
Such is his discord, he insisted that the manner of Chelsea's defeat to Sunderland, his first home defeat in the League as Chelsea manager, will be his 'highlight' of the season. Referee Mike Dean awarded a controversial penalty after Jozy Altidore fell over Cesar Azpicueta's challenge.

Rooney wants Manchester United's captaincy, but his candidacy is a complicated one
Jul 26, 2014, 6:14 PM EDT
It wasn't so long ago that Wayne Rooney was considered a potential captain for both club and country. Now, after power plays at club and another disappointing World Cup for country, that talk's died down. Though there are questions about who will wear the armbands for both Manchester United and England, Rooney's candidacy is no longer being trumpeted.
That's not so say he isn't an option. In fact, if Rooney has his way, he'd inherit the Red Devils' honor from Nemanja Vidic, who has departed for Inter Milan. With a new coach on the bench, though, he knows his stature is no guarantee he'll lead United out of the tunnel.
Robin van Persie, who was [Louis] van Gaal's captain for the Netherlands, is a contender for the job, while long-serving midfielder Darren Fletcher wore the armband in the midweek win over Los Angeles Galaxy …
"Of course I would like the captaincy but it's the manager's decision who he chooses," said Rooney.
"I think he wants to work with the players and then choose a captain from there.
"I don't think he was ever going to just walk in and choose a player from the off. I'm sure he will look at the players now and make his decision in a couple of weeks."
Fletcher, who debuted with United in 2002, is the only member of the team that's been with the Red Devils longer than Rooney, who moved to Old Trafford from Everton in 2004. During the ensuing decade, Rooney has made 442 appearances with the club, collecting 216 goals.
During that time, however, Rooney's also threatened to leave the club twice, with last summer's transfer window highlighted by rumors connecting him with Stamford Bridge. Three years earlier, Rooney briefly demanded to leave the club after butting heads with former manager Alex Ferguson. Both times, new contracts with increased salaries quelled Rooney's discontent.
It's unclear whether those incidents will influence Louis van Gaal's decision, but if there are any lingering effects from those power plays, Ryan Giggs will be sure to inform his new boss. As successful as Rooney has been on the field, a may not be the best man to fill Vidic's boots.

|Raymond Baldauf, former chairman of the California Credit Union League (1978), as illustrated on the cover of Credit Union Digest in Fall of 1977.
'COMPLETELY COMMITTED' TO CUs
updated 01/03/14 10:02 AM
Former League Chairman Passes
Raymond Baldauf, former chairman of the California Credit Union League in 1978, passed away in late December, leaving a legacy of devotion and fervor for the California credit union movement.
Baldauf, who was 87 years old, started in credit unions in the late 1940s and stayed in the industry more than 35 years. He was CEO of Long Beach Gentelco FCU (now Pacific Community CU) before transitioning into the credit union vendor sphere and opening his own insurance agency—Raymond and Raymond Insurance.
"As his friends and family can attest, the era Ray made his mark in echoes who he was as a person," said California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues President and CEO Diana Dykstra. "We know Ray always put his members' best interest at heart in everything he set out to accomplish. Even after transitioning to new opportunities, he remained a trusted business partner selling insurance products to credit unions, helping them meet the needs of their members."
A significant legislative and regulatory period resulting in the betterment of credit unions took place during the latter part of Baldauf's career. He was instrumental in the implementation of H.R. 3365, the Depository Institutions Bill signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977, according to League archives.
The law permitted credit unions to make mortgage loans for up to 30 years and offer a broader range of consumer services. Baldauf was chairman of the Title IV Task Force formed by the League to assist member credit unions in implementing the law's provisions and provide the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) with recommendations and comments.
Baldauf's wife described his love for the industry. "He had a passion for credit unions," said Ginny, who retired from San Mateo CU in 1997. "He, like other professionals in the credit union movement, understood that it takes everyone pulling together to accomplish something. Credit unions sometimes lose sight of the fact that you can't just take; you have to give back. Ray was always pushing for that."
Her husband was a "very smart" man, and one that could "always see the handwriting on the wall," she said.
When Baldauf formed his insurance company, "He was a partner, not a vendor," according to San Mateo CU CEO Barry Jolette. "A vendor just sells you stuff, but a partner cares about you. Ray definitely cared about growing your credit union to better your members." Baldauf represented "all that was good in credit unions" in caring not only about his members, but his business associates as well.
Baldauf was also active as a volunteer. Before accepting the League chair seat, he held numerous League committee chairmanships and chapter seats, offering valuable insight into how the League could better serve credit unions, and ultimately their members.
"Ray was such a professional, and there is no other way to describe the manner in which he distinguished himself as he carried out the duties of chairman," said Bill Broxterman, formerly president of the California Credit Union League from 1974-89, CEO of Hughes Aircraft Employees FCU, and board chairman of CUNA Mutual Group. "No one could have appreciated him more than I. He was completely committed to credit union ideals, and he never took advantage of anyone."
Dykstra added: "We want to honor and thank Ray for his outstanding commitment to credit unions. Our most sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to his wife."

Extra-hot Latta but no sugar, thanks
Relevant offers
TV & Radio
It doesn't take much to work Nigel Latta up. As soon as we meet for the customary cafe-interview, he immediately latches on to the fact I should not be drinking hot chocolate.
"There's so much sugar in that stuff," he says. "That's something I just learned only recently... it's bad for you."
I imagine Latta's natural state is caffeinated. Our 20-minute interview was almost breathless.
Latta's new six-episode series, simply titled Nigel Latta, tackles the big themes - inequality (The New Haves And Have Nots), education (The School Report), alcohol (The Trouble With Booze), child abuse (Killing Our Kids), the justice system (Behind Bars) and, yes, sugar (Is Sugar The New Fat?).
Latta had been a clinical psychologist for more than a decade, before his book, Beyond The Darklands, was adapted into a television series in the early 2000s. The series, which profiled notorious New Zealand criminals from invariably 'troubled' backgrounds, was often bleak.
His next shows - The Politically Incorrect Guide To Parenting, The Politically Incorrect Guide To Teenagers, and Surviving Teen Driving - had Latta giving "practical advice".
"When I'm making a television series, I don't think about the tone," he says. "The stories tell themselves. The idea for the latest series arose because these were particular issues which wound me up. I wanted to fight through all the numbers and the bollocks and everything else."
These topics are political fodder in an election year, Latta concedes.
"We have to ask better questions of the people in charge. On my smartphone, there is an app that lets me watch the Curiosity space shuttle on Mars. Changing the tax rate so corporations pay their fair share might be difficult, but it's not as difficult as putting a robot on Mars. It's not even as difficult as Year 12 physics or maths."
Latta's clout means people rarely decline an opportunity to appear on his shows. So he was surprised former finance minister Roger Douglas refused to be interviewed for this series.
"Douglas' reforms in the 1980s fundamentally changed our country, and I thought he had a responsibility to explain himself," Nigel says. He was also incensed by the liquor companies' refusal to be interviewed.
"What they (liquor companies) are doing is absolutely criminal. They're peddling products such as RTDs to children. They've learnt from the tobacco companies and tried to brand themselves as responsible."
Latta is grateful that TV allows him to get out of his comfort zone. In this series, he goes back to school, spending time in the classrooms at two contrasting Auckland public schools: the decile 10 Pakuranga College, and the decile one Pt England Primary School in Glen Innes.
Did his two children make funof him going back to school?
"Not really," Nigel says. "They just see it as part of my job. Dad's going to work, he's going to be goofy on television. If I told them I was going to build them a tree-hut, they would fall off their seats."
They were more impressed with the fact he got to fly to a private island on a helicopter as part of the inequality episode. And it was fun.
"They were really jealous. I made a point of telling my children as they went off to school that I was going to spend a day in luxury accommodation being waited on hand and foot."
He says the helicopter flight had a purpose: to show viewers the divide between the haves and have nots.
"As a country, we underwent a complete attitude change to money about 30 years ago," Latta says.
"It became the politics of 'Me first and screw everyone else'. It hasn't worked, except for a very small number of people. The wealth is trickling up, it's not trickling down."
This has been arguably Latta's biggest project. It has taken more than a year to film the six episodes.
Does he get wary of being a "go-to" expert on New Zealand life?
"People think I'm great, until I say something they disagree with."

Sharon Bialek's Fiancé Belatedly Remembers He's Not Her Fiancé
Things that make you go "hmmmm."
A northwest suburban man says he needs to clear the air after coming to the support of his fiancee, who accuses GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of making a sexual play for her.
For starters, Sharon Bialek isn't his fiancee, said Mark Harwood in an exclusive interview on Wednesday night.
"We were engaged last year in June but I think there have been some assumptions that Sharon still lives here in Mundelein with me" Harwood told the I-Team. "Sharon and her son moved out in February of this year and now live in their own home … so effectively we're no longer engaged."
On Monday, when Ms. Bialek was the first of Cain's alleged groping victim's to go public, Harwood was contacted by news organizations trying to find out information about her. He did numerous interviews during which he was referred to as her fiancé. "I made reference to the fact that we were engaged and got engaged last June, 2010 and I think the assumption then-we were still engaged. I think most people seemed to be under the belief that Sharon lived [in my house] but she's not here."
Here's video of the interview:
I don't know if this has any particular significance, but for several days the media wanted the world to think Sharon Bialek was engaged to this guy, because that seemed to undercut suggestions she might be in it for money, e.g., Ben Smith at Politico:
In fact, per the Tribune, she's living with her fiance, described as an executive in the medical equipment industry, in "a large, five-bedroom home… in north suburban Mundelein."
He was described as her fiancé in the lead of an Associated Press article citing him as corroboration of Bialek's account (although he didn't know her in 1997 and says she never told him about it until Nov. 4). It was Thursday before WLS-TV got this interview, so that little bit of misinformation got corrected by the local ABC station in Chicago, three crucial days after it had been widely reported and woven into the media narrative as evidence of Bialek's credibility.
Like I said: Things that make you go "hmmmm."

A roof was seen sailing through the air when a small tornado tore through a home in Te Aroha West.
Stanley Rd South farmer Jim Stewart dialled 111 when he saw his neighbour's roof airborne about 4.30pm on Friday.
"I was looking out the window then boom, there was this huge noise I heard, then I saw the roof flying through the air."
The home's occupants, elderly couple John and Sue Trumper, were shaken but unharmed in the event and were able to remain in the house after it was secured by the Te Aroha Fire Brigade. Roger Clark, senior station officer, said half the roof was completely gone when the brigade reached the scene.
"Bits of timber had been blown 400m, 500m down the farm. We ended up tarping the roof and making it safe for them and their living area was still fine."
Next door, the tornado damaged a shed on Stewart's property that had been weakened in a previous storm, he said.
"There's the odd branch here and there down and we had a side of a wooden shed fly out but I can live with that."
Volunteer firemen at Te Aroha responded to 54 calls between Tuesday night and Saturday evening. Clark estimated 80 per cent of the calls related to roofs lifting in the winds.
This week would be about residents dealing with the aftermath.
North of Huntly, the storm created a patch of fresh potholes on State Highway 1, which has closed the southbound lane until further notice. In Thames, the Kauaeranga River on Kauaeranga Valley Rd, came close to flooding on Saturday night, with the Thames Coromandel District Council advising farmers to move stock from surrounding paddocks. The river peaked at 9m but by yesterday afternoon it had dropped to 6.7m.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.First it was the drought. Then the unusual heavy rains and floods washed away Cristina Garcia and her family's belongings, livelihoods and food. Two months later, she and her family were on the verge of leaving their small shack and plot, and move with their children to a nearby farm to work (including the children) so they could eat. Just in time WFP and the Government of Paraguay began food distributions in their community. Cristina Garcia lives in a village in the community of La Esperanza (The Hope, in English) in the Paraguayan Chaco, at some 237km from the city of Asuncion. This year was tough for Cristina and her family -husband, daughter and grandchildren—since the climatic events in the region were unprecedented.Being 52 years old, Cristina does not recall having even been in such a rough condition. First the drought, then the floods, made the fish they usually eat vanish, made two of their four egg-laying chickens drown, and lost their crops of pumpkin and potatoes. They were left without the everyday life sustenance, and in order not to face hunger they sacrificed the two surviving hens to feed their grandchildren.With the floods, Cristina's village became isolated for nearly two months. It was then that the UN World Food Programme (WFP) with the support of the National Emergency Secretariat (SEN) of Paraguay brought hope to the community."Little before the arrival of the food and due to the extreme situation we were living in, we were on the verge of abandoning all our belongings and our small piece of land… We were all going to be employed, including the children, in a nearby farm so that we could eat," says Cristina, with an almost choked voice.Help that feeds La Esperanza Today is the day of food distribution in La Esperanza and Cristina is happy. Since last month's distribution, all Cristina has left to feed her grandchildren are beans. She is excited because starting tomorrow she will also have rice, flour and vegetable oil for cooking. "Above all the rice and the flour are of great help because they are basic food staples. Before I send my grandchildren to school, I prepare them pireca (flour tortilla) so that they will not study with an empty stomach." That day, Cristina prepared beans for lunch, since she had nothing else at her disposal. "Tomorrow we will eat better," she says smiling while serving her grandchildren the beans that she cooked. The entire family misses the pumpkins and potatoes they used to eat before the floods. The Garcia family estimates that they will have to wait until December to harvest such items because soil conditions do not allow planting crops. They have a few chicks they saved that, although sick now, they must wait in order recuperate and make them grow until they lay eggs in the coming months.Despite of all the rough times she has been through, one can see hope on Cristina's eyes when she sees the arriving WFP truck with food items. In La Esperanza, the typical semi-arid community of El Chaco which was affected by unusually torrential rains this year, confidence flourishes again

National Security: We're "not just" Americans, says our new secretary of state, but "citizens of the world." And globalism comes before "protecting the country from catastrophic attack," says our top general.
Barack Obama apparently got his foreign policy thinking not from anything he learned at Columbia or Harvard (where we still don't know his grades), but from noted diplomats Lionel Richie and the late Michael Jackson.
"We Are the World" was their 1985 Live Aid anthem to raise money to fight famine in Ethiopia — much of which ended up in the pockets of dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam and his army.
"Change can only come when we stand together as one," the song declared, which sounds a lot like the "Change We Can Believe In" rhetoric of Obama's campaigning.
It took more than a quarter century, but this infantile pop-star fantasizing has finally risen up the charts to the highest levels of military and diplomatic power.
According to Obama's new secretary of state, 2004's ill-fated Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, speaking to staff at the U.S. Embassy in London on Monday: "We are not just, though we are proudly, citizens of the United States of America; we are also Citizens of the World."
The next day, during his first trip abroad as secretary, Kerry — infamous for throwing his Vietnam military medals onto the steps of the U.S. Capitol over 40 years ago — spoke to students in Berlin.
To these youths who undoubtedly subsist on an information diet of Euromedia-produced anti-Americanism, he quipped that "in America, you have a right to be stupid if you want to be ... I think that's something worth fighting for."
Kerry managed to be the Ugly American and the Dumb American simultaneously, and the youths duly guffawed.
Beyond mere talk, at the Pentagon the right of a taxpayer-salaried Citizen of the World to be stupid is fully deployed under the guidance of the Obama administration.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff were traditionally supposed to advise the president on the nation's defenses.
After the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Pentagon structural reform, however, the Joint Chiefs chairman gained substantial independent power, and now often tends to be indistinguishable from a civilian presidential appointee in viewpoint.
On Jan. 31, Obama's Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey gave Coast Guard cadets the full Obama line: There are four "national interests" now guiding the military. And in that ranking, "our contribution to the stability of the global economic system" comes before our armed forces' duty "to protect the country from a catastrophic attack."
And if that's not dumb enough for you, in the House of Representatives, Democrats want to establish a new federal "Department of Peacebuilding" Cabinet-level bureaucracy, featuring a "Secretary of Peacebuilding" who would sit on the National Security Council.
Presumably, during NSC meetings at the White House, he or she would point out that planned U.S. military attacks would not be very peaceful.
According to extreme left-wing Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., however, the Peacebuilding department wouldn't just scale down U.S. military actions abroad but would enjoy jurisdiction domestically, going after school bullies and preventing cruelty against animals.
It would even set up a "peace academy" modeled after West Point and Annapolis.
Maybe President Obama will put the federal Peace bureaucracy in charge of domestic drones, which could shoot flowers at their surveillance targets.
Between defending stupidity rights, a military busy defending globalism rather than homeland terrorism, and designing a new Department of Peacebuilding, it's hard to see how Uncle Sam can survive this Friday's sequester of 3% in automatic spending cuts.
Iran: The U.S. is giving away the store, the farm and the kitchen sink to Tehran while the terror regime retains nuclear bomb-making capability. For President Obama, a fabricated legacy trumps security.Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, writing in the New York Times last ...

South Canterbury in strong position
Relevant offers
South Canterbury are in total control after the opening day of their two-day Hawke Cup cricket match against North Otago at Aorangi Oval.
South Canterbury are 124 for two, just 23 runs behind North Otago's first innings of 147 all out.
Craig Davies is unbeaten on 54 and former Northern District's batsman Nick Horsley is with him on 25.
The pair will look to earn first innings points and then look to build a big enough lead while offering the South Canterbury bowlers a chance at earning a valuable outright win to start the competition.
The home team were spurred-on by four wickets from English import Matt Woods who extracted enough movement from the pitch to ensure his left-armer seamers would earn him plenty of reward.
South Canterbury outplayed North Otago in every area, today.
They were more positive and energetic in the field and they stuck to their bowling plans.
Tight lines and patience earned wickets against a pedestrian, uninspiring effort from North Otago with the bat.
The visitors appeared desperate to keep the game to a one innings affair.
Their dull 147 all out took them 77 overs to compile and while the South Canterbury bowling was disciplined, few of the visiting top-order played a shot in anger and perished as a result.
To their credit, the South Canterbury bowlers did not let two batsmen settle.
The best partnership the visitors could must was 33 for the first wicket.
All four seamers picked up a wicket in the first session, with Woods, James Laming, Craig Hinton and Simon Murphy refusing to leak runs.
Woods finished with four for 25 from 21 overs, while Carlaw grabbed three for 40 from 18 overs.
Duncan Drew tried to hold the innings together with a well-compiled 33, while Ed Smith managed a brisk 17, but when both became victims to the left-arm spin of new captain Sam Carlaw, North Otago's tactics had come back to haunt them.
South Canterbury made batting look far easier on the usually batsman-friendly pitch.
Davies unbeaten 50 included nine boundaries, while Horsley has hit three fours and a six so far.
Davies was dropped in the last 15 minutes of play and will look to cash-in tomorrow.
South Canterbury have scored at just under four runs an over, twice as fast as North Otago scored their runs.
