Frosty roads cause trouble Clear nights have been keeping drivers on their toes and some pedestrians on their bum. Overnight temperatures for most of last week have plunged below zero, giving the region a strong frost and icy roads to contend with. Police issued extreme warnings for motorists last week after cars were sliding on black ice. Several minor crashes were reported in the region, especially in Waimea. Some icy footpaths have also meant people walking
have had to take extra care with some slipping over in central Nelson and in Stoke. Car dealers have also been kept busy, hosing off the frost on their cars at the start of each morning. Paul Dowell, of Dowell Wholesale Cars, says hosing off cars isn’t the ideal way to start your day but he is enjoying the crisp starts. The cold weather is great news for snow bunnies though with Rainbow enjoying big crowds at its open day on Saturday.

“Yes, there was snow on the Lewis Pass just yesterday and it was minus two at Maruia Springs at midday. It was very cold, but it was just beautiful.”
“I’m up at five, so I’m up before the frost has a chance to settle. It’s cold at that time but I dress warmly.”
“I noticed a lot of ice on the street this morning; I’ve been driving really carefully because it would be easy to have a skidout. Quite tricky driving.”
“No, nothing really; I had a bit of a fall, yes, but nothing more than that.”

No charges laid for crash FROM PAGE 1
“She was really upset. It was horrible.” Police told Tash the driver of the van had been at the pub, where he admitted having a jug of beer. He didn’t stop after the accident and returned 40 minutes later where he saw police, pulled over and admitted hitting the girl. He was breathalysed but was under the limit. Tash says the driver told police he thought the whack was kids throwing something at his van and he pulled over later
because he saw the police and thought they may have been investigating what had been thrown. Tash says she was told on Sunday by police that no charges would be laid. “I was so angry, the officer just said ‘nope, nothing we can do’. I can’t believe it.” She says her daughter is also angry, unable to play football for the rest of the season and without a cell phone after it was smashed in the crash. She would like to see the driver lose his licence.

“My daughter can’t walk at the moment and she could have permanent damage and he doesn’t even get a slap on the wrist,” says Tash. Tash’s brother Clayton says he was shocked when his sister told him there would be no charges laid and posted his frustration on Facebook. That comment attracted more than 100 comments and 1000 “likes” within hours. Inspector Greally says he will get in touch with the Weekly as soon as he has spoken with his staff.

New Hub sought for youth news in BRIEF The NewHub is looking for a new hub for the city’s youth after it decided last week to leave its current building due to earthquake risk. It was announced last month that the NewHub had closed its doors for youth recreation after the Nelson City Council-owned building it operated from was deemed an earthquake risk. A building is deemed to be an earthquake-prone building if its resistance to an earthquake is less than 33 per cent of the standard of an equivalent new building. The report gives the NewHub building a preliminary rating of 5.5 per cent. But the while “sad” the news is far from doom and gloom with some programmes already relocated and “exciting” plans for the future. The NewHub is run by the Youth and Community Facility Trust, which says it is still passionate about continuing its services. And the centre will be running its school holiday programme at Unite Church Hall on Rutherford St this school holidays. The school holiday programme caters to 11 to 18 year olds and will be held for both weeks of the school holidays from 11am to 4pm Monday through Friday. New Hub Manager, Stephen Stiles, says the trust has met with the Nelson City Council to discuss whether to continue delivering its services from the building and as a result of this meeting it has decided not to continue there.
EArThqUAkE bUilDingS cloSED: Riverside Pool is open for business, despite its frontage being deemed an earthquake risk. Nelson City Council announced last week that it would close all of its buildings categorised as earthquake prone, which includes the State Advances Building, Mediterranean Foods and the frontage of Riverside Pool. The Riverside Pool facility is not earthquake prone and an alternative entrance has been arranged.

New fire gear saves first life A piece of high tech cutting equipment donated to a Nelson rescue trust has saved its first life. Last year Nelson senior firefighter Dick Lyall established the Top of the South Rescue Trust to provide equipment for the Nelson Fire Brigade’s rapid response team, which flies with the Summit Rescue Helicopter, if needed. On Wednesday last week, two senior Nelson firefighters used the equipment to cut out two men involved in a crash on State Highway 6, near Havelock. While one man died at Wellington Hospital, the other is currently stable and Dick says if he makes it then the equipment just paid for itself. “That is the first time it’s been used for real and

the guys say the gear was brilliant. Compared with the other stuff it’s streaks ahead.” The equipment was bought with donations from members of the public and a big donation from the Nelson Freemasons. It includes hydraulic cutting equipment and allows firefighters to cut people from their cars rapidly. “It’s the latest gear in the cutting field and it’s the first of its kind in the country,” says Dick. “This is the first of the fly in a box concept and the rapid response team is a leader in the country.” The gear weighs 83kg in its carbon fibre box and is worth around $32,000. “But hey, it saved a life last week, that’s what it’s for,” says Dick.

Nayland College students celebrated the end of term in the muddiest way possible. Nayland College held its first ever Winter Festival on Friday afternoon, following the creation of its inaugural house system at the start of 2012. Amongst the fun activities to sign off the term in style was a mud run, quiz and a rave. The mud run was the most popular with hundreds of students taking part. The mud run saw competitors run through chilly, dirty creeks, and battle a fire hose on the way up a slippery tarpaulin. Students were able to gain house points for participation. A couple of teachers also braved the muddy challenge in support of their allocated house. Nayland College was the final school in Nelson to create a house system. Students are able to obtain points for school-wide events like swimming sports, talent quests, and athletics day amongst others.

Cameras installed to stop ‘rustlers’ Top of the line security cameras have been installed around the Waimea Sales Yard hoping to put an end to animal thievery.
Nelson Police have been fielding reports of stolen stock during the night when the animals are left unattended, prior to being picked up for delivery. Local stock agent Richard Eddington hopes the infrared cameras, which will be able to spot any movements during the night or day and break them down frame by frame, will keep the sales yard free from rustlers. Richard cited the rising price of lamb and mutton as the main reason behind the thievery but says the problem has been occurring “all over the region” for a number of years. “There is rustling happening all over the district. They’re darned thieves and we want to make sure it doesn’t happen at the sales yards again,” says Richard. “Anybody coming into the sales yard is being watched.” Local farmers bring their stock to the sales yard on a Tuesday night. They drop them off and give an agent a call ready for them to be picked up the following morning. There have been numerous cases reported – the latest was when four two-tooth ewes were slaughtered behind the pig pens. Two-tooth ewes from the same farm usually go for $220. Lambs in small numbers have also been stolen during the night. “They Steve Smith installs one of the many security cameras all add up and that’s the reason why at the Waimea Sales Yards as they crack down on ani- we’ve got these security cameras.

• Four container ships, 3 log ships moved through the port, 2 fruit ships, 20 large fishing vessel movements around the port, and a survey vessel to the slip kept the marine team and the stevedores very busy last week. • Did you know that the Harbour Master’s jurisdiction extended up all rivers within the region? Whilst we don’t actively police these areas we support DOC and vice versa in this regard. With the whitebait season starting in a month’s time I just thought I would bring a few things to your attention. • Watch out for the change in weather. Hypothermia is a big killer when people in or near the water get cold. Once you are cold rational decision making goes out the window. Watch out for the change in tide. Beware of rainfall or melting snow. Depths can change considerably in the space of a few hours. Rivers and tides can behave differently as the tide goes in or out. Unexpected eddies can form and catch out the unwary wader or fisherman. Speaking of waders, do you wear sea boots or thigh-waders? If you do, do you wear a life jacket with them. • People can fall in the water, whether wading whilst whitebaiting , motoring or sailing. Can you imagine the excruciating horror of being just a few metres from the shore, sucked into deeper water by the running river and not being able to swim to the surface due to the weight in your boots or waders? • Do not kid yourself that you will be able to take them off. It has happened in the past and will probably happen again. Make sure it’s not you. If you wore a simple inflatable life jacket that sits lightly over your shoulders like a harness, the extra buoyancy in such an event would save your life.

It also has a photo gallery, advertising details and retains its popular function to read the whole newspaper online each week, a feature used around 1200 times each week on its old website. The site will also allow the Weeklys to post breaking news throughout the week, instead of waiting for each Tuesday.
Chief executive of the newspapers, Steve Page, says the website is another positive step for the locally-owned newspaper group. “The new site complements the paper and will give readers more of an opportunity to get involved with their local paper be it through comments or keeping up to date with the latest news throughout the week. “This is just more good news for the newspapers after our recent growth.” Advertising spaces on the site have also been quickly snapped up with only a couple of spots remaining. “It’s an exciting development for us and we look forward to hearing what people think of it,” says Steve.

Sixty-two years of pen friendship As an eight year old student Florence Gunn was given a letter from her teacher, written by a 7 year old girl in Scotland. She was told to write back. Sixty two years on she is still writing. Last Friday marked the anniversary of when her pen pal in Scotland, Helen Connell, wrote that first letter. It described who she was, her teacher's name and how long they had just had for school holidays. The letter arrived at Florence’s Runanga Primary School near Greymouth amongst a box full of other letters from her school teacher Charlie Barton. He had just arrived home from a holiday to his Scottish homeland where he took a box of New Zealand apples to his old school. In return he asked the students to write a letter to their new pen pals on the West Coast. One of those students was Helen Connell and the letter she wrote sparked a lifelong friendship. Florence, who lives in Stoke, says she can’t remember receiving the first letter but reading them brings back plenty of memories. From the first letters, the subjects changed to movies, music and holidays and then boyfriends and husbands. She says her pen pal was someone she could confide in. “We shared very intimate details about each other’s life, the hard times and the good times. We always had someone to confide in and we could share those very comfortably.” The pen pals even followed a similar path into
the workforce. While Florence did wages for a milk treatment plant on the West Coast, Helen was doing wages for a margarine factory in Scotland. Despite the letters becoming sparser in adulthood, the pair would always send birthday cards, Christmas presents and every single year, a calendar. Then in 1998 Florence decided to visit Helen and flew to Scotland. She says she remembers thinking “it will either cement our friendship or we will part". But as Florence made her way down the stairs at Glasgow airport she knew they would be more than just pen pals. “The minute we met at the bottom of the stairway at Glasgow airport there was a total connection. We sat and talked until midnight. Since then we’ve really got a close bond.” Florence has been back another two times and is hoping for a fourth in a few years’ time. Helen hasn’t visited New Zealand because of a fear of flying says Florence. “I’ve forgiven her for that,” she joked. These days the letters come in the form of an email but still start and end the way they did in the 1950s: “Started with the weather and ended with ‘we’re well and hope you and your family are all well too’.”

USA ‘cruise’ attracts plenty Graeme Wallace certainly knows how to draw a crowd. The Atawhai resident’s 2009 Chevrolet Corvette z06 was just one of the many American muscle cars on display during the Nelson City Rod & Custom Club’s Independence Day Cruise but it was easily the most talked about. Graeme personally handpicked the limited edition car from the United States. It is one of 7000 made in 2009. It has a 7L engine, 700 horse power and an alu-
minium chassis. The Corvette can reach speeds of up 350kph and does 0-100kph in just 3.6 seconds. Graeme has not used the Corvette to its full potential and he was content with keeping to the speed limits along with the hot rods. The cruise took drivers from the Nelson Suburban Club through to Kaiteriteri beach and back through the Moutere Valley. All money raised from the cruise went towards St John Ambulance.
Harley’s Pharmacy is Tahuna’s old school pharmacy with new school knowledge. The small, friendly team provides familiar faces and a wealth of knowledge. Andrew and Violet Harley have recently taken over the business from Andrew’s father Nick Harley, who has built up a great reputation as an honest, approachable pharmacist over his time at the store. Formerly Tahuna Pharmacy, Nick ran the business for almost four decades, making a name for himself in the community for his friendly, personable customer service. Andrew and Violet intend to continue this legacy, rebranding the business as Harley’s Pharmacy
to reflect the family and community orientated nature of the pharmacy. To celebrate the opening of the store as Harley’s Pharmacy, there will be raffles and giveaways throughout July, so come in to see the new look store with the same friendly staff and you could walk away with some exciting prizes. The exclusive and experienced team of eight is highly knowledgeable and they’re more than happy to give you advice if you’ve got any health issues or questions about your medications. From a cold or sore throat, to dry skin or sunburn, they’ve got the perfect remedy and can direct you to a product that will get you on the mend.

piercing to be done in a professional and clinical way to reduce any risk of infection. The reason for the rebranding was to bring the store back to its locally owned roots and pay homage to Nick Harley’s dedication to the store and the community. Nick worked at the store for 38 years, “The main people that come here have always come here because of my dad. He treated them differently from most professionals, more colloquially, it’s ‘the local’, always friendly, personal service,” says Nick’s son Andrew.
branding that is reminiscent of old apothecaries, with a mortar and pestle to demonstrate bringing the business back to the old school elements while incorporating modern knowledge and advances. “Ultimately what I want to do is have that really old school look, lots of wood, vials of things, mortars and pestles; we’re going for that look in the next few years,” says Violet. They have already brought in some of that feeling with their logos, depicting the mortar and pestle and Harleys, incorporating the Rx symbol into the text. The Rx in the logo is inspired by the symbol used in historic literature to refer to apothecaries’ old recipes. This logo has been emblazoned on the new vibrant orange and red signs on the shop front, located on Tahunanui Drive, opposite the KFC. Off road parking is available, with seven spaces next to the store. The changeover has been very exciting for all involved, and the transition was documented on their Facebook page, with photos Harley's Pharmacy along Tahunanui Drive sports new signs to mark the return to its and thanks going out to all who helped and supported the new origins as a local, community focused pharmacy.
There has been a conscious decision by the new owners to put an emphasis on creating a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere for customers. Whatever ails you, you can be sure that you will be treated with the utmost respect and discretion. Even when the store is busy, the staff members ensure that every customer is being attended to and having their needs met. Andrew and Violet took over the ownership in May this year after Andrew’s father Nick Harley passed away. The couple had been living in Australia but Andrew is happy to be returning to his home town and continuing his father’s legacy with his wife. The staff base has been kept on, with the intention to bring a breath of fresh air to the store without losing any of the personal relationships that have been built up in the community.

Garin takes to the stage

The top musical, cultural, artistic and theatrical students at Garin College took to the stage to celebrate Mahi Toi. Last month students took two days away from their regular classroom routines to make cupcakes, write songs, perform poetry and create wearable dresses out of recycled curtains and other reusable materials as part of the annual Mahi Toi Festival. Thursday night showcased the top students’ efforts as well as giving parents and friends of the school a chance to witness what the students had completed. Other cultural performances from the first half of the year were also highlighted including the winning Stage Challenge performance and competitors from the recent O’Shea Shield competition and entrants from Smokefreerockquest. The evening was hosted by head arts students Georgia Nott and Isaac Thomas and held at the Hope Community Church. Event organiser and head of music Kyle Proffit says the concert grows every year and was particularly impressed by the number of younger entrants for 2012. “I think the number of junior students on show this year displays how things are going. We have a lot of young talent coming into the school and they’re being inspired by the older kids. It’s great to see them involved in the showcase concerts.”

New site for science fair With Science Fair season almost upon us, Cawthron has created a new tool to help students, parents and teachers interested in science and technology. The Cawthron Science and Technology Fair website is launched today and is an Aladdin's Cave of helpful hints and tips not to mention essential entry forms, weekly updates and rules. The Nelson schools’ science fair has been running for over 25 years and is a labour of love for the Cawthron Trust Board. Judene Edgar, secretary of the board, says “it is a mammoth task with hundreds of entries each year, but such a rewarding event as the projects just get better and better”. For the past ten years Des Duthie led the fair, however this year he has passed the reins to the Cawthron Trust Board as the primary sponsor of the event. There is more incentive than ever to enter as the prizes and awards have far exceeded previous years, with almost twenty businesses and organisa-
tions throughout the region now involved as sponsors. The awards range from an all-expenses paid placement at the week-long ‘Hands on Science’ event at the University of Otago, to hundreds of dollars in prize money. Dedicated to the annual Cawthron Science and Technology Fair, the new website provides essential information for parents, students and teachers leading up to the event, in addition to the various photo galleries for during and after the fair. Maps, ethics forms, criteria for special awards and posters are all available at www.cawthronsciencefair. org.nz The Cawthron Science and Technology Fair is located at the Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village from Wednesday 19 to Saturday 22 September. The judging will take place on Wednesday 19th and from Thursday – Saturday projects will be available for public viewing. An awards event is planned for Wednesday September 26.

The regional leg of the Young Growers Awards was won by Jos Bell of Hoddy's Orchard, which hosted the competition. The competition saw nine contestants from Motueka, Riwaka and Waimea Plains face off in as many disciplines, testing a range of skills necessary to be a successful grower. The tests were practical as well as theoretical, from irrigation and fencing to maturity testing, pest and disease and staff human resources. Many local businesses came together to support the event. Last year Kevin Withington, the regional winner from Nelson, went on to win the overall title. This is the fourth year the competition has been run and it continues to attract more entrants each year, with contestants saying the acknowledgement gives a real "boost" to their careers as well as the industry. Jos received $1500 and an Energies Fruit

Nelson fighters ready for home town event Fighters from all over the country and even Australia are coming to town this month to take on Nelson’s best in a fight night dubbed ‘Night of Wrecking 9 – NZ v Australia’. The Muay Thai Kickboxing event will be held at the Trafalgar Centre on July 14 and will see South Island titles along with New Zealand and Australia Prestige Titles up for grabs. Top Nelson hopes include Leon Tangaroa, who has had 14 wins from his 18 fights and Sam Speight and Jahda Wharepapa who will defend their South Island titles on the night. The 16 fights will also include two womens fights featuring Nelson’s Sarah Allen and Lou Fuller, a boxing match as well as some stepping into the ring for their first competitive Muay Thai fight, including Nelson College’s Tom Llewellyn. Organiser and head trainer at Fight Club Nelson, Isaac Takarangi says he is hoping for a big crowd of 1000 people for the event. “I think the us verses Aussie thing will create a lot of interest and people that have been
to other events know that it’s is a night of action, people are off their seats just going for it,” he says. Bruce “Preacher” Macfie will also be in Nelson. The 133 fight veteran is a three time WMC Intercontinetal Champion as well as the current WKA World Super Middle Weight Champion. Preacher shot to fame back in 2007/2008 as part of “The Contender Asia” reality series. He will be holding a seminar on Saturday 14 July between 10am and 12pm in the Victory Room at the Trafalgar Centre with tickets available from Isaac Takarangi on 022 136 2561. Doors open at 5pm, tickets for the event are $25 available from Cheapskates in Nelson and Richmond or $30 at the door on the night. Children accompanied by an adult are $10, doorsales only. People interested in learning more about Muay Thai Kickboxing can sign up for a seminar with “The Preacher” on July 14 from 10am to 4pm.

Rainbow Ski Field currently boasts the best start to the season in a decade. With the snow depth already at 50cm, it’s the perfect time to dig your snow gear out of the cupboard and get out here to rip up the mountain. The slopes celebrated the 2012 opening on Saturday with cracker weather and a large number of people came along to enjoy the first day of the Rainbow season. The snow depth was between 20cm and 60cm, providing great coverage on all runs and slopes. This year the terrain park has been expanded, with volunteers working most weekends in the off season to repair, upgrade and extend the park. The boxes and rails have been improved, and the terrain park covers several hundred downhill metres, giving skiers and boarders more to play with and more chances to try their skills without slowing down
and with minimum stoppages so that you get the most from your day at the mountain. It’s even easier to spend the day on the slopes this winter, with a new Rainbow Shuttle service running through Nelson, Stoke, Richmond and St Arnaud every day the ski fields are open this winter. A ticket will only cost you $45, $30 for children. Timetables are available online, where you can also book your ticket. The bus provides a great transport option, as all cars and buses need to carry chains fitted to the vehicle to gain access from the bottom car park, no matter the weather conditions, in case they are needed. Shuttle bus services run from the bottom car park, or chains can be hired, with providers listed on the Rainbow website. Family Day Passes have been added to the pass options this year after proving a popular request. Two adults and two or

Jacks Red marched to the top of the table in Grade 1 (although sitting second on goal differential) when it beat Prices Pharmacy Black 30-25 on Saturday. Although Jacks had its noses in front throughout the game, its players did not feel in control as Prices were always there breathing down their necks. Jacks was steady through court, more controlled and made fewer unforced errors than its counterparts. Jacks goal shoot, Moira Raumati was accuracy personified when she turned to face the goal to put the shot up. Moira was well supported by goal attack, Ange Scoble who was happy to play a feeding role. The shooters received superb service from the feeders – Kirsten Powick and Robyn Leonard, who delivered some precision ball. Prices defence toiled for the entirety, circle defenders Ebony Barrett and Carol Heiford were powerful rebounders and were useful in bringing the ball through from the back line.

Stoke A's score big win over Marist
A composed Stoke team turned around a heavy first round loss to Marist dishing out a 38-22 trouncing, in the senior division one competition. Stoke dominated possession and territory to orchestrate four well taken tries in the first half at the Tahunanui playing fields. Midfielder Chad Lowrie opened the scoring after unrelenting pressure to dot down beside the posts, Ray Packer picked up a brace soon after in another emphatic display from the loose head prop. Number 8 Jarred Aberhart rounded off a productive display, taking the opportunity to dive over from a quick tap. Stoke’s forward pack lifted its performance another notch, led by tight head Mike Tyler who dominated the opposition, putting Stoke on the front foot especially with ball in hand. Hooker Max Glossop, lock Ben Douglas, and skipper Stu Tunnicliff all put in industrious games with a substantial defensive effort, and complementary attacking skills to match. Stoke never took their foot off the pedal heading into the second half, with another inspiring game from half back Shawn Begg. Ben early on capitalised on a Marist mistake and demonstrated some deft footwork to toe the ball around the opposition for Shawn to scoop the ball and dive over the line to score.

Cricketers Nelson to host basketball tourny make Canty team
The U15 basketball South Island premierships are being held in Nelson on 13-15 July at Saxton Stadium. There are four teams representing Nelson – Nelson A girls, Nelson B girls, Nelson A boys and a Nelson B boys team at the tournament, looking to finish in the top four to qualify for the Nationals to be held in Wellington in October. The Nelson blue girls team from top left; Chelsea Neame, Silk Both the Nelson A girls and Nelson A boys teams are Campion, Ellie Rukuwai, Charlotte Delany, Maggie Riley, Holly very capable of finishing in the top four but with 14 Chandler, Stu Wehner (coach).

Vucinic making waves in US Jelena Vucinic hasn’t been able to keep away from the basketball court during her summer holidays. The 20 year-old shooting guard had just completed her sophomore year at Louisiana Tech University where she played in front of crowds of up to 7000 people, before taking to the court for the Nelson Sparks in the first of three Women’s Basketball Championship tournaments. Jelena’s summer holidays, which ironically is during Nelson’s winter, has involved catching up with friends and family, and the challenge of steering the Sparks to national glory. Having represented New Zealand in age grade sides regularly throughout her teenage years, Jelena made her official debut for the Tall Ferns on a tour to Japan in 2010. She went on to make a handful of appearances for the team but is currently a non-travelling reserve. Jelena is studying kinesiology and health promotion at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana but admits juggling basketball with a degree isn’t as hard as she first thought. Jelena took to the court in 21 games during the 2011-12 season – making just two starts. She averaged 3.6 points per game, 0.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. All those statistics were much higher than the previous season which saw Jelena play just 11 games in her freshman year. When she returns for her third campaign, Jelena is hoping to become more of a role player in the side that is heavily reliant on its senior members. She will head back to the US in August.
The Canterbury indoor cricket team will have a distinct Nelson flavour to it this season. Six local players, Jon Routhan, Ryan Edwards, Simon McGowan, Brendan Hodgson, Ollie O’Connor and Mason Thelin, have been handpicked for the Canterbury squad’s Action Inter-provincial Championship campaign in September. It is the highest percentage of players that Nelson has ever supplied to the indoor sport’s premier national tournament. The six players’ selection comes on the back of a successful Action South Island Championship with the Nelson Knights that saw the team run away with the title. Jon – who is a current New Zealand international, having represented the side in the past Indoor Cricket World Cup – is a major factor in the participation figures. Since returning from Auckland, Jon has been able to put more focus into the sport, leading to a number of top local cricketers crossing over for the winter. “They’ve taken to the sport like a duck to water. They’re an incredible group of guys and they’ve managed to transfer basic outdoor cricket skills into the indoor version of the game,” says Jon. National selectors will have a keen eye on new players at the tournament with the next Indoor Cricket World Cup just two years away. Jon says that international indoor cricket would be the next step for the six players and was hopeful they would impress in Christchurch come September. However, the initial step was winning the tournament for the first time. Canterbury has lost the past two championship finals.
