Police stop 5000 cars in three days

Nelson police stopped 5000 cars over the weekend in a major crackdown to coincide with the 4 and Rotary car event.

The staggering number of cars stopped saw 776 infringement notices issued, 370 of those for excessive speed with one driver clocked at 149km per hour. That resulted in a roadside suspension of a licence.

The operation included police from Marlborough, the West Coast and Canterbury,

along with collections staff and NZTA vehicle inspectors.

Nelson Bays area commander Steve Greally says that with more than 100 car enthusiasts coming to Nelson for the weekend police wanted to be proactive in deterring poor driver behaviour.

“This mix of people and vehicles had the potential to increase risk to road users so I’m delighted to get through the weekend

with no serious crashes on our roads.”

Ten people were caught driving with excess breath alcohol, the highest of which recorded 1012 - two and a half times over the legal breath alcohol limit.

There were also 77 breaches of graduated driver licences. Fifty three vehicles received pink or green stickers for being in unsafe condition. “The condition of some of those vehicles was shocking. I’m just re-

lieved they are off the road as they were accidents waiting to happen,” says Steve.

The multi-agency operation saw collections seize two vehicles and a total of $5000 of outstanding fines were recovered, he says. “Overall I’d have to say the driver behaviour was pretty good. We had a lot of staff working to keep the roads safe and our high visibility operation certainly had the right result in terms of road crashes.”

Three tonnes of rubbish collected Organisers of the Big Beach Clean Up are still flabbergasted as to how a dead possum stuffed with a Barbie doll was littered at Tahunanui Beach, but the overall feedback from Saturday’s event is that the litter problem is reducing.

Everything from plastic rubbish to TVs, couches and of course the dead possum were picked up by 600 volunteers from Cable Bay to Tonga Marine Reserve. Just 3.5 tonnes of rubbish was collected, down significantly from last year’s 7 tonnes.

Janice Gravett, who is the coordinator of the event, says this year’s collection was just one third of the total collected in the first year, and that was pleasing news.

“The message is definitely getting out there. We’ve been including more children and they’ll be our next generation of course so that’s really good,” says Janice.

“I think it’s all good news and the day went

An influx of “bait fish” in Nelson Haven is believed to be behind the massive number of birds and fish around the Rocks Rd waterfront in the past few days.

Yesterday afternoon around 100 people were spotted fishing, according to one Weekly reader, who phoned in saying that some were pulling in three fish at a time.

Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club president Doug McKay says the fish were most likely kawhai and were in the haven to feed

on bait fish. The birds would have also been attracted to the bait fish. “It happens this time of year with that many fish coming into the Haven,” says Doug. “What is unusual is to see the birds in that close and in those numbers, but it does happen.”

The birds and fish were a hot topic on Facebook too. Andrea Seymour wrote: “If Alfred Hitchcock’s classic The Birds film scared you, I would suggest avoiding Rocks Rd. I have never seen anything like it.”

really well,” she says.

Janice says weird and whacky items are always a feature during the Big Beach Clean Up and admits the dead possum certainly tops the list.

“We see TVs, chairs, couches, tyres and we see a lot of plastic but to be honest there’s a lot less all around.”

The worst spots on the entire coastline are on the roadsides, where people are throwing rubbish out of their vehicles, and that was one area where the public was definitely not getting the message. “By far, over half of the rubbish always comes from the roadside. But overall I’m very happy. We just keep seeing a decrease every year. This is our fourth event and every time it’s going down so I have to take that as a positive trend.”

Rejected baby name gets overturned It may not be up there with Lucifer, Anal or V8 but Nelson baby Alfie Biggs had his middle name rejected for the exact same reason – it was on the government’s banned list for baby names.

But his mother wouldn’t have that and successfully argued the ban, receiving his birth certificate last week with his full name – Alfie Baron Biggs.

Each year the Department of Internal Affairs releases a snapshot of the most rejected names. This year they included Juztice, King, Majesty, E, Mafia No Fear, 4Real and Rogue.

Others tried to call their children by symbols like full stop (.), a star (*) and 89.

Baron falls in the “royals” list of banned names that also includes King, Princess and Royal.

But Marianne Hart-Biggs argued the name wasn’t about giving her son a “title”, just something meaningful.

“Baron came from where Glen and I lived in London when we got married. We lived in Baron’s Court and we always had that in our mind for a middle name if we were to have a son.”

She says it never dawned on her that the name would be

mAN hiT bY cAr: A Nelson man escaped without serious injury after being hit by a car in the early hours of Sunday morning. The accident happened on the corner of Collingwood and Bridge St, after the driver of the vehicle didn’t see him walking on the road in time to stop.

Police and an ambulance attended the scene, where the man was treated for minor injuries to his face and arm.

WhiTE ribboN plEDgE: Nelson mayor Rachel Reese is urging local men to take a stand against violence towards women by supporting the 2013 White Ribbon Campaign. The annual, nationwide campaign starts today. Rachel will sign the pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence towards women with Tasman Police District Commander Richard Chambers and Adele Richardson of Nelson Tasman Te Rito Family Violence Network.

The Pledge is at whiteribbon.org.nz. bANDqUEST SUccESS: Noise Control won the Rockshop Bandquest for the second straight year on Saturday night. Bandquest is in its third year as the younger sibling of Smokefreerockquest. Second was Gelignite from Broadgreen Intermediate and third was Central Station of Nelson Central.

banned and was in shock when a letter arrived from the department of internal affairs to say the name had been rejected.

“I got a letter back and my friend who was reading it over my shoulder said ‘ah, this is awkward’. I thought ‘oh, what am I going to do now?’”

After a week of thinking about it with her husband Glen, Marianne decided to write back and try to argue the name should be allowed but conceded it was a long shot.

“When I wrote back the first point I made is that his name is Alfie and his title is Master, Baron is his middle name.

The only times it will be seen is on his passport and drivers licence. Basically no one is going to refer to him as Alfie Baron Biggs.

“I explained the sentiment behind the name and I sent in a copy of our marriage certificate that showed our address in Baron’s Court when we got married but I thought there is no way they’re going to accept this.”

She says he’s been sleeping through the night much better since the birth certificate arrived.

“He couldn’t sleep before without his middle name, he’s much more settled now and I feel like he is complete.”

Branch breaks on school kids’ path home A branch from an historic tree in the Brook was lucky not to hit any children walking home from school, says an onlooker.

Tracey Royal-Malone was walking her two children and a friend from Nelson Central School to their home in the Brook when they came across a broken branch moments after it crashed across the footpath they were walking along and into a neighbouring property on Seymour Ave. The Nelson City Council-owned tree has since been cut down and it says it is concerned at how a gust of wind was able to bring down a several hundred kilogram branch. “Yes of course the council is concerned.

A lot of effort goes into managing our street and heritage trees but it is always a difficult process managing a mature tree population in a urban environment,” says manager of communications Angela Ricker.

Tracey says it’s only due to good luck that they weren’t any closer at the time.

“Usually the boys would ride ahead on their scooters but a gust of wind took my hat off my head so they waited until I’d found it in a neighbours front yard. If I hadn’t

taken that extra few minutes to find my hat the boys may well have been right under that branch when it fell.”

She says neighbours came running out of their homes after the branch crashed down and other parents said they heard the crack as it came down. “You just don’t know where you would have been at the time if we’d just kept on walking instead of stopping to get my hat. It’s pretty scary.”

NCC says a branch that size falling isn’t a regular event but it can happen in certain circumstances. “It was a combination of the age of the tree and the force and direction of the wind. There had been no external signs of decay or damage to the tree but there are signs of internal decay which have weakened the limb. This decay has only become visible since the limb fell so it couldn’t be predicted,” says Angela.

Council-owned heritage trees are surveyed every two years for a health assessment. The council is currently adding all the street trees in Nelson onto the GIS database which will be “a useful tool” for keeping an eye on the age and condition of the trees.

A branch that came down on a Seymour Ave footpath happened just moments before children walking home from school came across it.

The deal is done, Waimea Village will officially be owned by its residents.

Negotiations have been protracted over the past week and a half and the scheduled day for the village to go unconditional has been extended twice. But last Tuesday the current owner of the village and the man who helped broker the sale released a joint statement saying it would go ahead and on Friday it went unconditional.

The sale of the 172-home village sparked scenes of “jubilation” in the village. “We’re all so happy, we can’t believe it. It’s the best day this village has seen in a long, long time,” said one resident.

The sale will end almost three years of bitter dispute between the residents of the village and its owners Michael and Carolyn Wright.

The chairman of the residents committee at the village, Jerry Rowland, says he received a phone call from Kit Maling to say the papers had been signed and his initial reaction was “elation”.

“No doubt about it, it is one hell of a relief.”

He says the announcement was even sweeter as he’d had some concerned residents calling him saying that Michael Wright had told them the deal was off and any money they’d put forward as part of the deal would be lost. “I have no idea why he said that, all I know is that he made that statement and I had people call me up wanting to know what had happened and they were very upset.”

Jerry says committee members were walking up and down the streets of the village, knocking on doors to let people know of the sale and the general reaction was “relief and jubilation”.

The deal will mean more than 140 of the 172 home owners will buy a slice of the village. It will be managed by a board, which will employ a part time manager.

The remaining home owners will continue to be lease holders.

Settlement for the sale and purchase of the village will be finalised on Friday, November 29.

More govt money for housing trust More low-cost Nelson homes will be built in Stoke thanks to a $374,000 grant from the government.

Housing Minister and Nelson MP Dr Nick Smith announced the funding for the Nelson Tasman Housing Trust to build three more community social houses on Kawai St South.

It caps off a great year for the Nelson Tasman Housing Trust, which has already opened two low-cost housing developments in Victory and The Brook. The trust has

grown from six homes in 2008 to 39 homes, including this latest announcement. The growth has been funded from government grants, commercial bank loans, the Canterbury Community Trust, and sweat equity. It has also been assisted by the Nelson City Council waiving development contributions for the homes.

Nick says the homes and the community housing sector are an “important part of the solution” to providing affordable homes in Nelson.

“The Nelson Tasman Housing Trust is a real success story in the community and a model example of the type of community groups the government wants to encourage into providing social housing.”

He says the housing challenge is a big one throughout the country but he feels the government is making “real progress”. “[But] there is no magic bullet to solving Nelson housing affordability problems.”

Nick says the government is committed to taking actions on a range of fronts

including freeing up land supply, reining in council development charges, scrutinising building material costs, investing in skills and productivity, keeping interest rates lower for longer, reforming the Resource Management Act, and expanding Welcome Home Loans and the KiwiSaver First Home Deposit Subsidy.

“The real joy will come on the day these homes are completed and three more families get a healthy, safe and affordable roof over their head.”

Girls take end of year plunge



More than 100 Nelson College for Girls students took the ultimate plunge last week, jumping off the Wakefield Quay wharf.

The tradition of jumping from the wharf in their uniforms on the last day of school started three years ago and follows similar traditions from other girls’ schools in New Zealand.

Most of the leaving year 13 students took part in the jump, a spectacular sight as 100 students bobbed in the water, waiting their turn to climb up one of the three ladders and back onto the wharf.

Callie Stones, 17, says she was nervous prior to the jump and was a little concerned about the temperature of the water. “It was so much fun though,” she said as she and her friends shivered on the wharf after the jump.

While there were some nervous looking faces before they jumped the screams and laughter once in the water was deafening. “That was so cool,” shouted one girl from the water.

Figures are good news for retailers Nelson has once again recorded strong spending growth, ahead of the national average.

Figures released last week by payments provider Paymark show spending through the Paymark network was up 8.1 per cent nationally from October 2012 to October 2013.

In Nelson the news was even better, with spending increasing by 8.3 per cent.

Paymark, which processes around three quarters of all electronic transactions in New Zealand, also recorded a strong seasonally adjusted month-on-month spending result, increasing 1.7 per cent from September to October and 2.5 per cent when fuel spending is excluded.

Paul Whiston, Paymark's acting CEO, says that the Christmas build-up is imminent, and they typically see spending jump repeatedly over the last three months of the year.

“This result is a good start for retailers as they begin their pre-Christmas campaigns. We are seeing an above average month-on-month result, which indicates that growth is happening above and beyond the usual trends,” he says.

Last year $74.3 million was spent in Nelson through the network, this year it was up to $80.5 million.

While there was 1.48 million transactions in 2012 and 1.6 million this year, an increase of 8.2 per cent.

Fire Service gold star recipients on Friday evening SFF John Newth, SFF Grant Fraser, SO Craig Davies, QFF Mintie (Brendan) Cottle, SSO Gavin Scott, SFF Julie Neve, SFF Rick Finlayson and Shane Baron. Absent: Richard Lovering.

Fire Service recognises 225 years of service Nine local fire fighters were awarded with gold stars on Friday evening, a recognition that saw 225 years of service to the fire service celebrated in one go.

The gold star is presented to firefighters who have served 25 years in the fire service. The recipients were made up of career firefighters, including Nelson's only female career fire fighter.

While the accolade has been given out to Nelson firefighters before, Kevin Shea, president of the Nelson Marlborough Gold Star Association says the ceremony to recognise nine different men and women was a great achievement for the region.

"With the fluctuation of numbers in the fire service today, with people coming and going, it's fantastic that we had a large number of firefighters achieve their gold star."

He says some of the firefighters who were acknowledged thought it was "no big deal, they're just doing their job" with some not wanting to have a ceremony highlighting the fact.

"Some of the old school guys treasure them and they should, it is a great achievement for them. It's a special occasion for our patch."

Each of the recipients was presented with a solid gold medal on behalf of the Nelson Fire Service and the United Fire Brigades Association, which they will wear on their lapel, by Terry Douglas past president of the Association. He said it was a "great privilege" to be doing the honours.

Every two years after receiving the gold star, each firefighter will be awarded with a bar to attach to the ribbon of their medal.

Nelson Mail circulation plummets

Circulation of the Nelson Mail has taken another whopping drop, losing almost 10 per cent of its paid circulation in the past 12 months.

The latest independently audited figures show the Mail has now sunk to only 12,614 copies over a possible circulation of almost

50,000. The paper also gives away an additional 465 copies per day.

The New Zealand Audit Bureau of Circulations publish figures every quarter and the latest stats show a 5.29 per cent drop on the previous three months and 9.51 per cent drop on the same time last year.

That equates to around 1400 lost subscribers in the past year.

The drop is again among the highest of any daily newspaper in the country, only the Oamaru Mail and the Timaru Herald performed worse in the South Island and it was a similar story in the North Island.

The Fairfax-owned Nelson Mail has been cutting costs in an effort to save the paper, with at least a dozen redundancies this year alone.

It has also out-sourced all of its ad design work to India, which has allowed it to cut local jobs.

4 and Rotary car show will be back, say organisers There was always going to be hesitation moving New Zealand’s longest running automotive and entertainment show out of Christchurch, but the promoter of the V 4 and Rotary South Island Champs is now thrilled with the decision to come to Nelson.

Azhar Bhamji estimated that 7000 people attended the two-day event, which included drag racing in Motueka and a show and shine at the Trafalgar Centre. While the number of spectators was slightly down on what attended Christchurch’s show preearthquake, the competitor figures were actually higher.

Speaking from the Trafalgar Centre on Sunday, Azhar says the response from Nelson car enthusiasts had been “absolutely awesome”, and it was 90 per cent likely that the event would return annually. “People kept coming to me and said ‘we needed something like this to happen to our town.’ They had speedway, and the drags four times a year, but nothing like this has really been here,” he says. “We were a little hesitant in the beginning but with the

But those happen in to work.”

Some event-goers, who had attended challenge could be part of an expanded environments where we can create and the show in Christchurch previously, event in the future. “We want to increase we need space for that. People know what commented that there was less to see and the entertainment factor with more vehicle we’re all about now and we’ve brought in so do, but Azhar was well aware of that and unveilings including some vehicles from much revenue.

The shops involved will have posters on the front windows and entry boxes in store with Richmond Mall having entry boxes at the main desk. “We are really happy that it’s such a local event and that it also encourages shoppers from all over to spend some time in the real centre of retail for the region,” says Steve. “It’s a great way for the local retailers to say thanks for your business and offer an opportunity to give something back.”

He also wants to remind customers Richmond Unlimited’s Brent Cheyne and entering to fill out the forms correctly Waimea Weekly’s Sue Davies preparing for this year’s Shop ‘n’ Win promotion. or they will be invalid.

November is White Ribbon month and that means it’s time to talk about violence towards women. I know that the majority of men are not violent, however we cannot escape the fact that most violent acts against women are carried out by men.

All men need to step up and be part of finding a solution to this problem. After all, we all have women in our lives, be they our mother, grandmother, wife, sister or daughter and we can’t stand by and see them subjected to violence.

In New Zealand on average 14 women are killed by their partner or ex partner each year and one in three women will experience some sort of violence from their partner in their lifetime.

The White Ribbon campaign challenges all men to be role models for our children and to help build a culture where violence of any sort is not condoned.

I’d like to clarify that violence is not just a physical act. Controlling behaviour, psychological and emotional abuse can all be equally damaging to a victim. Many victims say it’s actually worse than physical violence.

So what can you do?

Well for a start you can go to the White Ribbon website and sign the pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence to women. That’s the easy bit.

Next you may have to challenge the attitudes or behaviour of your mates or your work colleagues.

If you struggle to control your temper or you’re someone who has been violent now is the time to man up and do something about it. There is support available so make use of it. Visit whiteribbon.org.nz to sign up and check out the resources available there too.

School's over, exams start for senior students

Local students from left; Francis Paolo Meria, Matthew Mount, Natalie Davies, Nicky Marshall, Ziyana Lopez will take to the stage at Nelson Musical Theatre this week to perform "Title of Show", Nelson's newest musical. The performance will be at 7.30pm this Thursday through until Sunday at the Nelson Musical Theatre. Tickets $20 student, $25 adult.

The daily school routine is now over for another year group, but before students can put their feet up for the holidays or think about summer jobs and preparing for university, the focus will be on a hectic month of NCEA exams.

Nayland College principal Rex Smith, who was just putting the final touches on his end of year speech at the time of calling, says 2013 was a positive one. He says the focus of a secondary school has needed to change over the past few years due to a push in making sure that 85 per cent of Year 12 students obtain NCEA Level 2.

“So we’ve really had to focus on the pathways and that’s the big challenge for schools over the next few years,” says Rex.

He believed Nayland College was “well placed” to meet that figure though, with a trades academy set up to aide students who may not be top academics. “It’s always a balancing act because we’ve got top academic ones with some good scholar results that we’d like to build on.”

Nayland College held its end of year senior prize giving on Thursday afternoon. The two major winners were Patrick Savill who won the Palmer Award for all round excellence and Flynn Grace who was named the Dux. At other schools, Kate Fraser was named Nelson College for Girls Dux and also claimed the Atmore Memorial Scholarship, while Oliver Coleman collected the Nelson College Dux.

Good turnout for Remembrance Day

It may not be as big as Anzac Day but the strong turnout for Remembrance Day on Sunday was "heartening" says organiser of the Nelson event, Derek Nees.

More than 100 people turned out for the commemoration to recognise the signing of the Armistice between the Allies and Germany that ended World War I. Derek says he was thrilled with the turnout. "It was probably the best turnout we've ever had and it's much thanks to the Nelson Weekly for the article in the paper. It was a great day and I was thrilled that so many came."

One of those that came to the Nelson service for the first time was senior constable Mick Moorhouse who has recently moved to Nelson from Christchurch. He served in the British military and was wearing his great grandfather's medals that were from the Boer War. He says it was the first time they'd been out in decades and it was "special" to revive the family history.

The service included a speech from former Nelson man and Commander Phil McBride of the Royal New Zealand Navy.

Tuesday October 29 The local woman who busted a burglar mid break in at her home has been overwhelmed with positive response from her story in the Nelson Weekly. Police are yet to catch the culprit but Michelle Hansen has had lots of feedback from people who have similar stories and have stopped her in the street to share them with her.

She says she has mostly had praise from people who told her "good on you" for the way she dealt with the situation, but she also had a local alarm company ring her offering to help install a system.

Tuesday October 22 Tracey Alexander from the coffee cart says she's had loads of people saying they loved seeing her in the Nelson Weekly talking about her daily duck visitors. She says Daisy and Donald haven't hatched their ducklings yet but is sure they can't be too far off as the duo have been taking it in turns to come to town, a sure sign that someone is staying back each day to sit on the eggs at the nest.

Tuesday October 22 The Nelson Cake Decorators and Sugar Artists Guild had a fantastic turnout to the national conference which they hosted two weekends ago. Around 230 of the country's best cake decorators came to town. The Nelson guild took a number of different prizes home, including first place in the Stuart Shield and seocnd palce in the Una Stuart Shield.

Free baby clothing from Plunket

Got a story?

Andrew Board Editor

Phone us first

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz A third clothing giveaway will be held later this month to help those struggling to afford them.

The clothing giveaway was held for the first time last year after the successful Plunket Baby Bonanza. It went so well Plunket decided to hold one in Stoke after the April bonanza and Plunket’s Jo Hender says it is likely to become a regular thing.

“There is a real social need out there, whether they are refugees or just finding times really difficult so kids do go without sometimes which is really heart-breaking. Everyone wants to clothe and feed their children so this is just helping along with that.”

The clothing giveaway will be held on Wednesday, November 27 from 11.30am to 1pm at the Victory Community Centre and will allow families to come in and pick up baby clothes for free. Volunteers will also provide a lunch of club sandwiches and fruit.

Jo expects this year’s event to be bigger than last year when more than 50 families took advantage of the free clothes.

“This year will be bigger to be honest.

People are anticipating it and word is getting around that it’s ok to come along and get some clothes. It’s definitely filled a gap, which is nice to know.”

Photos unveiled for WWI's centenary Next year marks a century since the beginning of the first world war and there are several local projects planned to help commemorate it, including one that will feature 2000 local faces.

War was declared by Britain in August 1914 and among the millions that fought were thousands from Nelson and Tasman.

Before they went to serve for King and country many of the men would have a portrait taken, an opportunity to take a photograph of their family with them or for their families to keep while they went away says Cliff Riordan, of the museum. “Sadly many of these men may not have returned home.

So in many cases it would be the last image of them. That’s quite tragic.”

The Nelson Provincial Museum has around 2000 of those photos in its collection, many forming part of the Glass Plate Collection that has been digitised and put online. Cliff says the timing of those photos being put online couldn’t be better and it will allow local families to go onto its website and look for ancestors that may have served.

“We’ve currently got over 30,000 images online, a large number of those are from that period – 1914 to 1918 – and a lot of them are in uniform. It’s actually a really valuable resource and its timing, as far as the centenary of WWI goes, is perfect.”

Cliff says the museum has a good collection of portraits but also photos from the Tapawera Military Camp, thanks to local photographer F N Jones who served. “F N Jones is a great source because he served and he took a lot of photographs at Tapawera Military Camp and they are fantastic, really lovely

Cliff Riordan and Sarah Barnes of the Nelson Provincial Museum with one of the photographs of local soldiers that will go online to help commemorate the beginning of WWI. Photo: Andrew Board. images of day-to-day life in the camp.”

The majority of the photographs are named but there are some that aren’t and Cliff says they’d be happy to hear from anyone who recognises one of the unnamed photos.

“This is a great resource for family historians and hopefully from this we’ll be able

to identify some of the soldiers. If anyone does know anything about any of the photographs in our collection we’d love to know."

To send any information to the museum about any of the photos in the glass plate collection simply email details to history@ museumnp.org.nz.

Waimea College principal Larry Ching jokingly queries if there’s something in the water near the Knight household, as for the first time in the school’s history, a third sibling from the same family has been named as a head student.

Just like older sister Alice was in 2011, and brother Hugh this year, Bridget Knight has been confirmed as a head student for 2014. “I was quite stoked,” Bridget says. “It was quite surreal at the time [of the announcement].”

The head student position is the highest leadership role at the school. Each year four Year 13s are selected following a rigorous process that includes nomination, a speech to their year group, a student vote, and an interview with the existing head students and the senior management team.

Larry confirmed this was the first time three siblings from the same family had been named head students. However, there had been other times when two had secured the role. “It’s certainly unique,” he says. “[Their parents] must have done a great job of raising them. Maybe there’s something

Bridget Knight has become the third sibling in her family to be named as a Waimea College head student, following in the footsteps of her brother Hugh, right, and sister Alice, inserted.

Both Bridget and Hugh described being a head student as a “huge honour” and admitted there had been pressure to follow in Alice’s footsteps. “Mum and dad always said it wasn’t something I had to do, it was my choice. But people were always saying I had to do it, and I felt the pressure from them but not my family,” says Bridget.

Alice is currently studying at the University of Canterbury

and Bridget says she was the first person she told. “I rang her straight away and she cried.

She was so happy for me so that was cool.”

Seeing as it was the first time in the school’s history, the family understood the significance, and Hugh was quick to thank his upbringing. “It’s pretty crazy that nobody has missed out. They’ve obviously brought us up quite well, that pulled us through.”

Quiz to aid toddler who lost her mum

A quiz night to raise money for Rosa Milne, the two year daughter of Sara Milne, is to be held this Friday night.

Sara died of cancer earlier this year and her friends and have organised a fundraising quiz to raise money for Rosa and Nick, Sara's widower and Rosa's father.

The quiz has attracted thousands of dollars worth of prizes and items to be auctioned by Jeff Rackley. Teams of eight can register for the quiz at the Hope Community Hall be emailing details to dktippett@gmail.com.

Cost is $10 per person and the more teams the better.

51 Collingwood Street Ph: 545 8214

• It may seem a strange thing for a woman who has spent many years gardening, growing plants, propagating plants, and selling plants, to suddenly start talking about having a “plantless” garden.

But that is what I am going to do.

• Many of us have a spot in the garden that can be a bit of a pest. Extremely dry in summer. Extremely wet in winter. Blazing with sunshine, or the deepest shade that you can imagine. Well I have such a spot.

• For years I struggled with this problem, until one day I had a brainstorm. Why do I have to grow plants there at all? Over the years I have collected various bits and pieces of terra cotta.

Curious shaped pots and urns. Animals of all descriptions. Blanket babies, which are small dolls wrapped in huge blankets. Even a “snail house” with a gap for snails to crawl in and hide. So, why not have a terra cotta garden?

• Well I got started and cleared away any plant debris that lay about untidily, and arranged my terra cotta garden. It was fun. Visitors would look strangely at me when invited to see this spectacle, but I didn’t care, I’m very happy with it, and still collecting more pieces to add to the garden.

I don’t mind anything that is chipped or cracked, it can always be cunningly turned about to suit.

Anyway a bit of wear and tear adds character.

• But I also have another almost “plantless” garden. This time it is a “tufa pot” garden.

• For several years our daughter and daughterin-law made a tufa pot each, to give to me as a birthday present. I was always delighted with this.

[Tufa pots and real manuka honey is all I ever need for a present nowadays]. Anyway, I made a

GardenAffairs NELSON

‘creating a garden you love’

special place for all these lovely handmade pots, and commenced to plant them up. BUT, many of the plants grew too vigorously and covered the pots, so that the only time that I could enjoy my birthday presents was in the winter, when the plants had died down.

• So, along came another brainstorm. Why have anything in them anyway? But that idea was a bit too much to handle. So I planted up my treasures with spring bulbs, which die down in the summer, thus revealing their containers for my pleasure. This has turned out to be a good plan, because I know exactly where the spring bulbs are, and there is no danger of digging them up by mistake.

• But I can’t let you go without mentioning some plants, eh. A young woman asked about nasturtiums as a ground cover. She had a patch outside her kitchen window that she wanted to cover rapidly. Alas she didn’t receive the help from me that she had hoped for. I pointed out to her that nasturtiums are popular fodder for the large white butterfly, and I would have nothing to do with suggesting them as a suitable ground cover, even though I love them dearly [and alas, have removed them from my garden, I might add.]

But I have been thinking about this and wonder if a crop of pumpkins would be a good idea.

• The foliage is much like that of the nasturtiums, and if she planted the orange skinned variety the effect would be similar, and there would be the satisfaction of watching her winter store of food growing!

In the meantime, keep on keeping on with your garden experiments. It’s a lot of fun.

As a classy lady I know the importance of looking good whilst still maintaining your own sense of style. There is nothing worse than seeing someone wearing the same outfit as you – well the same should go for jewellery!! At Glenda James Jewellers we know all too well the importance of being individual. This is one of the many things men just do not understand about us ladies! How many times have you dropped hints to your man and it seems to go in one ear and out the other – its as if they would rather be at the pub where they can drink beer, fart and burp with their mates, leaving us ladies feeling like they just don’t care! The one thing they do understand is that ‘Happy Wife = Happy Life’!!!

Many men see their role in the relationship as being the ‘Provider”, there is nothing better they can provide for us than jewellery. We tell them size doesn’t matter but let me tell you ladies we all know it does!!!!!!

At Glenda James Jewellers we will accept all of HIS Mastercards, Visas and eftpos cards (as long as you know his pin numbers!!!) My Man says he checks his visa statements but I know he never does! (if he gets cranky, I know just how to keep my man happy!).

Most of us will experience some kind of psychological or emotional distress at some point in our lives. This can be due to difficult or traumatic life events, stress, bereavement or everyday life struggles. Sometimes support from family, friends or the community can assist, at other times professional help in the form of counselling and psychotherapy is needed to clarify and overcome these feelings and difficulties. Mary offers a Mary Sim space where feelings can be expressed and explored in a safe and non-judgmental way. Mary has extensive experience working with survivors of trauma, injury and abuse as well as those with mental health issues and everyday emotional concerns. One off and short term intervention is available as well as on-going therapy. Mary also offers consultation and counselling to parents of children with any kind of emotional and psychological problems to assist with understanding their child’s individual presentation and to take space to deal with their own concerns and worries. Contact Mary on 021 991 260 Before you buy or sell, talk to your Nelson real estate expert Tanea Collier. She’s been helping clients with their real estate decisions for the past ten years, so has a wealth of experience to draw on. Whether you’re a first home buyer looking to get your foot in the door or you are a senior citizen wanting to downsize, whatever your stage in life Tanea has the expertise and the successful track record to help you.

People who have dealt with Tanea in buying or selling their home say that “she is like a breath of fresh air, with a genuine care in getting the best outcome possible”. She brings a unique and vibrant attitude to the real estate industry and the many successful results she has achieved proves that you can get the best result in a friendly and professional manner.

18 McPherson Street, Richmond

Kmart opens to thousands The customers voted with their feet last week with thousands of shoppers swarming into Kmart's latest outlet which opened in Richmond last Thursday.

"It's really good value with some great bargains," says satisfied Richmond shopper Julia Noble emerging from the new discount department store with her arms full with baby daughter Zara and some of those bargains. "I got this horse and carriage toy for Zara's second birthday next month for just $3 and I liked the layout because it's more like a department store than a discount store."

Tahuna's Toni Dowling was also happy with the new store saying she had spent $140 on household goods and clothing. She says Kmart's prices are "really good" and it has a good range of items.

"I had an appointment in Richmond so I thought I'd take a look.

It's really good - Richmond needed a shop like this."

But Kmart isn't just good news for shoppers, according to Nelson MP

Nick Smith who says the new store is also good for the region's economy. The store provides 90 jobs which Nick says will help reduce the region's already low unemployment figures. "The opening of the new Richmond Kmart is a real sign that economic confidence in the region is on the up. New Household Labour Force Survey figures last week revealed that we have the lowest unemployment rate in the country at 3.9 per cent – well below the national average of 6.2 per cent and the lowest rate for some years."

The building, owned and constructed by Nelson firm Gibbons Holdings, is also home to a new Benge & Co Green Grocers, and Couplands Bakery. Next month a coffee shop and sushi store will also open onsite, followed by The Warehouse and a two-storey office block which are due for completion in July next year.

Gibbons purchased the former Placemakers site neighbouring Richmond Mall in 2001, and it has sat vacant since 2006.

“It’s an annual garage sale that we’ve run ever since the hall was built ten years ago,” he says.

“It’s been hugely successful in the past.”

Resident Bev Friend says the money raised wasn’t equivalent to the popular school fairs, but “for us it has been ideal”.

brought to you by

Great day at SPCA: We, Grandma and Grandpop, took our three grandchildren to the SPCA open day last weekend. The day was bright and sunny and a most enjoyable morning it was. There were many animals to see and handle, many activities designed for children, plenty of available food, and most things, including the entry fee, were by donation. This made it an affordable visit for families and a wonderful opportu-

nity to be involved. Congratulations SPCA and thank you! All the workers, both volunteers and staff, did a marvellous job!

Support for frustration over indicators: I agree with you, if everyone indicated, maybe that would speed up drivers going around roundabouts!! It's very frustrating when everyone is waiting at roundabouts, especially if there is no indication which way they are going - roundabouts are designed to keep the traffic moving, but not Telecom Business Hub Tasman are… these Nelson drivers, so come on guys indicate and keep the traffic flowing!! Di King, Tahunanui.

Local, just like you

No you are not the only one. Some Nelson drivers, including professionals, are ignorant and rude. It is so bad, I now consider round-abouts as compulsory stops. As a regular user of them around Richmond you will notice racing, deliberate pushing to merge and speed limits mean nothing. The idea that roundabouts aid in traffic flow is false.

Try to get in at peak times, you can wait and wait to move. If we could see the other side then maybe they would promote traffic flow but at their present heights they actually impede it. D. Parsons.

question to Dave is, "is it possible to publish in the Nelson Weekly dates for the fertiliser bulk carriers arrival prior to their arrival?" This is because of the noise interruption to several Tahunanui people.

I live in Annesbrook Drive and if I knew in advance when trucks would be passing every five minutes all night I would then have the choice of being away that night.

As it is not too frequent an occurrence I feel this may suit some of the residences on the main road.

Thank you, Elaine Barrow.

Reply from harbour master Dave Duncan: Good afternoon Elaine, I am glad you enjoy the column. Many thanks for your enquiry and I can advise that fertiliser vessels arrivals are notified on our website in the Shipping Infor/Shipping Schedule information so please do not hesitate to take advantage of that information.

Lucky for them as it could have been really messy, happy for them.

Odette Jackson.

So pleased for all in the village this will take the pressure of a lot off elderly folk well done to all concerned.

It is all amazing news. So glad it has been resolved for everyone. Well done to all the hard work of the committee, and Kit [Maling]. Marion Woodward.

Red-handed thief could be desperate: Agreed, stealing not good but the powers that be steal from society with their corrupt laws, people are made desperate. I still operate on trust with my honesty box for veges. Most people are honest, those who don't pay probably are unable to and it's their conscience.

It's not been much of a home advantage but Formula1 Powerboat racer Julian Stillwell is still smiling after winning the first round of the New Zealand Tour at Lake Rotoiti over the weekend.

A local competitor, Julian is the current 1NZ in the top outboard class, but a change in format means that title will be much harder to defend this season. In the past the 1NZ title has been contested at a one off national championship.

However, in a move that all drivers supported, it will now be decided over the course of the whole tour. “So whoever accumulates the most points over the series will be the New Zealand champion next year,” Julian explains.

So it’s not surprising that the weekend’s victory at the Nelson Lakes Regatta gave Julian plenty of reasons to be happy, having finished second overall in the tour last year. “It’s always a good

one to win I reckon and it was very close, so I know it’s going to be a tough season.”

And although he is a local, the Lake Rotoiti course didn’t offer much of a home advantage as Julian doesn’t test up there because it’s a national park. “We generally do the testing on one side of Rabbit Island but it is very hard because there’s limited testing venues and it’s all on a Saturday morning.”

The Nelson Lakes Regatta, which was held in association with the Lake Rotoiti Power Boat Club and Acceleration on Water Event Management, saw a variety of classes contest the two-day event.

The feature races included round one of the Acceleration on Water Festival of Speed Tour, the NZF1 Tour, Pelorus Jack Trophy, Arthur McCaa Trophy and the South Island titles for Modified Hydroplane and Clubman Classes.

Locals get behind All Whites All Whites fanatics from around the region are being welcomed to watch the first leg of the FIFA World Cup qualifier against Mexico at the Suburban Club this Thursday morning.

There will be a $10 breakfast beginning at 9am, with the all-important football match kicking off at 9.30am. Stu Reid, who is also part of a 60-strong JPL tour party that will head to Wellington for the second leg six days later, says it's the perfect chance for football fans to gather in the one place and watch the game. The idea of the breakfast came from Paul Brockie, father of All White

Jeremy. "It was four years ago that we qualified for the last world cup so we're all pretty excited about this one," says Stu. "We want the region to get behind it. It'll be much better than watching it at home or on the laptop at work."

While the All Whites will certainly be underdogs, especially without captain Winston Reid and 105,000 screaming Mexican fans against them, Stu was quietly hopeful New Zealand will be in Brazil come 2014.

Those wishing to attend the breakfast need to book through the Suburban Club by calling 548 5024.

Getting ready to support the All Whites this Thursday are from left; Stu Reid, Matt Watson, Paul Brockie, Sarah Board, Mike Delaney, Holly Barnes, Matt Ayloff and Guy Mollett.

Stoke/Nayland play for more than just points Stoke/Nayland’s senior cricketers hardly needed added motivation to get off to a good start in their two day match against Wakatu at Victory Square on Saturday, but they got it anyway.

The Wayne "Hoddy" Hodgson Memorial Trophy was up for grabs for the first time after the former Nelson, Wakatu and Stoke/Nayland slugger passed away earlier this year.

While both sides would love to get their hands on the trophy – and win the game – there is no doubt which side it would mean more to. Wayne's son Brendan is an allrounder in the Stoke/Nayland line up and says it was emotional playing for his father's trophy.

"Absolutely it was emotional for myself and for Colesy [Alex Coles] and Ryan [Edwards], dad had a bit to do with them as cricketers growing up. You could tell that everyone was giving their all on Saturday and Ryan was disappointed to throw a

century away because he said he was going to get a 100 for him."

Stoke/Nayland got off to a great start in the game, scoring 308/8 declared with captain Ryan Edwards top scoring with 92.

Wakatu had a good reply though, scoring 166/3 at the end of the day's play.

Ryan says the game is close but if the visitors can get a couple of early wickets this Saturday they will be in the box seat. "I think it makes for a really exciting day next week, if we can nick out a few early it will make it quite interesting."

With several players from both teams away with the Nelson representative team it will make for an interesting day of play.

Ryan says Stoke/Nayland is desperate for a win, not only for the trophy but to help boost their standing in the two day competition. "It's quite evenly balanced at the moment but hopefully it will be Hod [Brendan] being handed the trophy."

Huge turnout for drag racing's season opener

A bumper crowd was in attendance for the first drag racing meet of the season.

Doubling as the season opener, the V 4 and Rotary South Island Champs brought more street cars and plenty more spectators to the Motueka Dragway on Saturday, with thousands lining the airport runway to check out the quickest cars in the South Island.

While drag regular Wayne Stirling sped down the quarter mile track in 9.4 seconds clocking 214 km/h to win the C11 class, making him the overall winner on the day, Nelson Drag Racing Association president Craig Wray noted there was an influx of street legal

vehicles taking part in some of the minor classes, and that was certainly a positive looking ahead to the rest of the season. “The day went well and there was definitely a noticeably different crowd that was there. There were more street cars there and some of the club competition cars weren’t running, but it worked out well.”

Winners in other classes included; C1 Dave Duncan in 11.1 seconds, C3 Donovan Wood in 11.6 seconds, C6 Greg Law in 12.7 seconds, C7 Logan Walker in 12 seconds, C10 Shane Herbert in 10.4 seconds, and Competition Bike Marty Wilson in 9.8 seconds.
