Change to power trust could cost Simon Bloomberg A trustee of Network Tasman is concerned that a move to deregulate the company lacks transparency and could result in consumers paying more for their power. The Network Tasman Trust, which distributes electricity to 37,500 customers around Nelson and Tasman, is seeking public feedback on a proposal to “vary the terms of the deed” with the biggest change being a move to allow Network Tasman to be deregulated. However, Terry Kreft, who has been an industry-appointed representative on the trust for 18 years, says he is concerned about the process the trust is following to change the deed and has reservations about the intent of the changes. Terry says one of his concerns is that the changes will allow the company to be deregulated and that could cost the consumer. He says being regulated ensures power

delivery is fairly priced and that there is “security of supply to your door”, while “deregulating would remove the cap on pricing and the company could spend the money on whatever they wish”. “The changes are to allow the company to move from under the regulator’s umbrella to a deregulated environment. There are advantages for the company but there is a disadvantage for the consumer in terms of cost and trustees are aware of some of these costs.” Terry says he’s also disappointed that there has been

Whitebaiters finding success in Appleby The whitebait have finally started running with “plenty of good catches of 10 pounds a day” in the Waimea River and reliable reports of “a hundred pounds a day” being caught in the Motueka River and Aorere River in Golden Bay. Sonny Grant of Bishopdale and Yee Shek On of Richmond, who have been out on the Waimea River almost every day since the season opened on August 15, say they were both catching “about a pound a day on average” just before La-

bour Weekend. That’s a far cry from Yee’s best catch of “a gallon and three-quarters in one scoop” on the Waimea River five years ago but still enough to keep them coming back. A retired market gardener, Yee says he’s been whitebaiting on the Waimea River for “30 or 40 years”. Although he’s pleased the whitebait have finally started running, he admits he’d still be out on the river if they weren’t. “It’s just good to be out here,” Yee says. “If I wasn’t here I’d only be out

snapper fishing.” Nelson whitebaiter Nick Wright made a good call to take annual leave to go whitebaiting for two weeks, catching five pounds on the Saturday of Labour Weekend. “I always take my leave on the two biggest tides of September and October to go whitebaiting,” Nick says. “I got my biggest catch of five pounds on Saturday and I talked to other guys who got up to 10 pounds

“There are some very good designs that enhance the natural environment. They will make people want to stop in Wakefield instead of driving through.”

“I like the way the designs link the Wai-iti River to the village. Some of the designs to develop sub-divisions as parklands with more trees are interesting as well.”

“I really like the idea of enhancing the native reserves and making them more versatile and accessible. They are one of our main assets.”

“The concepts for the village green are very good. At the moment the village green has more carparks than grass - we want somewhere that people will want to go and sit.”

rounds. Department of Conservation ranger Dirk de Vries has also heard those rumours saying there had been 100 pound catches in the Motueka River as well. “It’s been a late season but the Motueka ran well the week before Labour Weekend, the same week things picked up in the Waimea,” Dirk says.

FROM PAGE 1 “no mention of why these changes are being made in any of the documentation” during the public consultation process. A decision by the trust not to seek an independent report or evaluation on the move is also a concern. The trust’s former chairperson Trevor Tuffnell and newlyelected chairperson Gwenny Davis were reluctant to discuss the proposed changes, referring the matter to the executive of Network Tasman. Although Network Tasman board chairperson John McCliskie told the Waimea Weekly that he can’t discuss concerns about the transparency of the process because that was a matter for the trust, he says the proposed changes will benefit

the company and the consumers. John says the company wants to change the trust deed and become less regulated to avoid paying “contingent” costs enforced under new regulations governing line companies. Those costs would “have a detrimental effect on future profitability and therefore discounts to our consumers”. The proposed changes will also see the position for an industry-appointed trustee removed from the trust, but Terry says that’s not an issue. “What’s relevant here is the impact of these changes on the consumer.” Terry says the trust presently does a great job, allocating about $100,000 annually in grants to the community and issuing an annual refund to consumers, and they “should

stick to their knitting”. However, John says that the “company will not go outside its core business activities”. John says Network Tasman “has always been regarded as a well run company with very modest charges to the consumer” and that would not change if it became deregulated. The trust deed and proposed changes can be viewed at the trust offices, Craig Anderson at 270A Queen St, in public libraries and at networktasman. co.nz until 4pm on November 25. Written submissions are to be lodged at Craig Anderson by midday on November 23. Anyone who makes a submission will be able to address the trustees at a public meeting at Club Waimea on November 26 at 4pm.

Ants spread through region Andrew Board Parts of Nelson are “crawling” with aggressive Argentine ants, forcing some home owners out of their house, says a local pest control business owner. Shane Warland of Flybusters says this week he is working on 18 different homes on one Richmond street, all with severe ant problems. “They’re rampant, they’re just taking over parts of Richmond and Nelson. The Wood area is crawling,” he says. “In Richmond there are places they can’t even put their little kids out on the lawn because the ants just crawl all over them. They don’t sting but they do bite, and if you get a couple of hundred thousand ants over a little kid…” Shane says spring is traditionally a busy time for him getting rid of the “nasty” ants but this year is worse than others. “Because of the warmer winter I’ve been busy for months. You need a good few weeks of frosts and we haven’t had that for five years, so the numbers just keep booming.” Home owners are sometimes “hysterical” when they call

Photo: Simon Bloomberg. him, with others having to move out of their homes until Shane has destroyed the ants. “We had a lady in The Wood, she would have been in her late 80s, and she woke up with them in her hair, in her ears and down her arm. She rang me and she was hysterical.” Tasman District Council biosecurity co-ordinator Lindsay Vaughan says the Argentine and Darwin ants are on the march, spreading throughout the district, including to Brightwater and Ruby Bay. Lindsay says the ants commonly spread by walking, al-

though they can also travel long distance by inadvertently hitching a ride in a car or in pot plants. They are found in properties in Cargill St, Doran St, McGlashen Ave, Olympus Way and have recently marched into Oxford St and Dorset St which is the outer limit of their range in Richmond. Although Biosecurity New Zealand funded a $100,000 baiting programme for the highly invasive ants in Richmond in 2006, Lindsay says it’s too late for eradication because they have become so widespread. The only step people can take is to control the ants by baiting and spraying around their properties. “We have to live with them now. If people have a problem with them, they treat their own properties to control their numbers.” Lindsay says the ants are a nuisance because they can reach plague proportions and invade properties, entering the house and eating food and other insects. They can also inflict a small bite, especially on small children and older people.

‘Toxic’ meth found in more homes

Richard Evans is the winner of the first Shop ‘n’ Win weekly prize draw of $500 of Richmond Mall vouchers.

Andrew Board The increase of available meth in Nelson is impacting local home-owners, with more and more homes testing positive for contamination. Last week, Nelson Weekly first reported news of an increase in methamphetamine, otherwise known as P, in the region, including record numbers of people failing a workplace drug test. Police area commander Mat Arnold-Kelly says the drug is a problem in the region and is driven by gangs. Kevin Taylor and Tracey Gray own Meth Screen, which specialises in testing homes for methamphetamine contamination. They say the growing use of It’s staggered us just how the drug means many properties are out more people are there that are contaminathaving homes ed, it’s knocked us back. checked before - Kevin Taylor. buying them. In the past three years they’ve tested 30 homes in the top of the South, with half showing signs of P use. Tracey says the toxins from P in the walls of a home can cause respiratory problems, lack of sleep and skin rashes for those living there. Kevin says they’ve been shocked by the results they’ve been getting. “It’s staggered us just how many properties are out there that are contaminated, it’s knocked us back. And it’s not just in your stereotypical-looking flat either. There are multi-million properties that are contaminated.” He says the drug commands a higher price in the South Island so it seems those running it are sending it south. “There certainly seems to be more around at the moment because the use is causing the problems that we’re seeing.” Kevin says just a few months of P smoke in a house can put it over the Ministry of Health limit that makes it unsafe to live in. Cleaning up a house that’s been contaminated by P can cost up to $80,000.

confirmed that it was broken into but did not want the business name to be published. Sue says pharmacy owners around the region were sent an email late last week advising of the burglaries, and just before closing the premises she saw two “suspiciouslooking people” in her store. “Because of the way they were looking around the store and the email that we received last week I decided to call the police, but I went through to a national call centre and they didn’t understand where I was and nobody turned up. So it was pretty frustrating that this happened a few hours later.” She says the police she dealt with after the theft were “excellent”. The burglars left their tools in the store this morning, including a crow bar and screwdrivers. Sue says it looks as if they were passing stuff out through bars that cover the windows. She says they only went into the office, the only part of the building that isn’t alarmed.

Dam loan would leave ratepayers in the gun The Tasman District Council and irrigators are a step closer to agreeing on a funding model for the Waimea Community Dam, but Richmond councillor Judene Edgar is concerned that the irrigator’s latest proposal could cost ratepayers even more money. Council has already allocated $25m in its Long Term Plan 2015-2025 for the proposed water storage dam in the Lee Valley. Now, Waimea Community Dam Limited (WCDL), which is made up of key irrigators on the Waimea Plains, also wants council to help pay for a share of a $17million loan to fund the $65million project. WCDL has proposed to form a joint venture with council to fund and build the dam. It wants both shareholders to pay $20million, with the balance coming from a $17million loan and $8million from central and local government funding. Although the $17million loan will be taken out by the joint venture, Judene says that’s just “semantics” and council’s water users will be paying for the debt. And that debt will be greater if the dam costs more than the $65million estimate used in WCDL’s proposal - council has estimated it will cost $83milJudene Edgar. lion. “Council will be a 50 percent shareholder and the only people you are getting income from to pay off that debt are water users. There’s also a 50 per cent chance that the dam will cost more than $65million and if that’s the case, then the debt would be even greater.” Judene says the urban and industrial water supply needs to be addressed, but insists that the funding issues need to be resolved before council progresses any further. Mayor Richard Kempthorne and deputy mayor Tim King also stress that the funding model is only a proposal and council needs to discuss the details and suggest any changes before responding to WCDL. If the dam is a joint venture, council will have significant input into the final funding model which will then go out for public consultation, Richard says. “There is a lot of detail about how the funding model is put together and we haven’t got to a landing point yet,” Richard says. “It’s a really good alternative model but we have to acknowledge the limitations council put on spending.” Tim says a joint venture “seems the right vehicle to carry it forward” although the “details of who pays what and when is yet to be discussed”. “At the moment, it’s just a proposal - nothing has been signed off by either party. The project itself is vitally important for the future of the region but this whole discussion around the structure is still the major hurdle.” Judene says council passed a resolution asking the advisors on both parties to get together and work through the latest proposal, and come up a document that addresses their concerns.

Water treatment plant opened

Dilution is the solution to high nitrate levels in Richmond’s drinking water, with a new $11.5million water treatment plant ensuring the town’s drinking water now meets national safety standards. The plant on the corner of Lower Queen St and McShane Rd was officially opened last Thursday and is designed to mix water from the two bores that provide drinking water for Richmond. One of the bores has

excessively high nitrate levels and needs to be mixed with water from a low nitrate bore to meet the standards. Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says building the treatment plant was the most cost-effective solution to the problem. The plant has the capacity to provide 15.4 million litres of water a day and is presently providing around 7.5 million litres, which is about half of the Tasman district’s requirements.

Nelson prepares for future King Kate Russell He may not be as popular as his two royal sons, but the reality is Prince Charles will be King in the not-toodistant future and this Saturday he gets to see the best of Nelson. Prince Charles and Camilla are in town this weekend, and they’ll be soaking up as much of Nelson as possible during their short visit. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are visiting Nelson as part of their royal tour of New Zealand, which will see them travelling all over the country. After arriving in Nelson on Saturday morning, they will head to the Cawthron steps at 11.15am and walk down Trafalgar St and into Hardy St, which will give locals the opportunity to greet them. They will then visit the Nelson Market where they’ll be able to get a taste of local arts, crafts and produce. Nelson Market owner Nita Knight says it is a “huge honour” they have chosen to visit the market. “It’s a great privilege to host them and I’m sure all the stall holders

will pull together to make it a great occasion for them,” she says. Nita says stalls might not be in their usual place, as they will have move things around to accommodate the visit. Prince Charles will then visit the Cawthron Institute for a fisheries and aquaculture event, while Camilla visits the World of WearableArt and Classic Cars Museum. They will then both attend a organic winery in Mahana, where they will be served some of the Nelson’s finest food and beverages in a “Source to Serve” event, before heading to Westport for the rest of the afternoon. Nelson mayor Rachel Reese says she is looking forward to the visit. “All the partner organisations we have been working with have been truly accommodating to help make sure this event runs smoothly,” she says. “I would like to acknowledge the enthusiasm shown by everyone involved in planning for this visit. We should all be immensely proud of what our region has to offer.”

WEDNESDAY 4 November 2015

Halloween comes to Richmond Halloween in the Park certainly brought out Richmond’s sinister side with an assortment of weird and wonderful costumes. Now in its second year, the event, which ran on Saturday, was the bright idea of Abigail Robinson. “A lot of my friends have young kids now so I thought it would be a good, safe, fun thing for them to do, rather than them nagging their parents to take them out into the streets,” she says. “We got way more volunteers this year and we tried to make it so more kids could go through activities, whereas last time there would be a line and only one kid could go through at a time, I think it’s [worked well]. The event included bouncy castles, lolly scrambles and plenty of free Halloween-inspired activities. Next year Abigail plans to make the event bigger and better with another free activity and additional food options and spooky decorations. Apart from the running costs, the money raised through Halloween in the Park goes into the Nelson A & P Association. “A & P is a non profit charitable organisation and all money that comes in goes into running the park, keeping things ticking over, looking after the buildings and all the rest, so any income really helps them a lot,” says Abigail. Abigail would like to thank the volunteers who helped out on the evening, along with the events sponsors, State Cinemas, MoreFM and Alana Shone.

HALLOWEEN: Daisy Rollston, 10, Haizel Way, 4, Faith Minto, 6, and Maiya Gordon-Medhurst, 11, dressed up and looking scary at Halloween in the Park on Saturday. The event was held at the A&P Showgrounds and was a popular event with plenty of scary outfits filling the park. Other events were held around Nelson. Photo: Jessie Johnston.

More failing drug tests: I am not at all surprised to read of the increasing availability of P in Nelson. I have long been of the opinion that the local police force should spend more time and resources in combating the drug problem, rather than their ludicrous, over-the-top pursuit of drivers who are only a few kms over the speed limits. Most of these limits are too slow anyway, and I regularly observe more than one police officer lurking around parking areas on their revenue gathering exercises. What a waste of their taxpayer training. Louise Francis. I'm all for people having a puff on the clean green, but P freaks are scum!! Shawnee Burford-Young. Yuck!!! Vermin!!! Janelle Thorpe. P is a scurge, that is why all the crime to fund this muck. It turns good people, bad. Robyn Halkett. Bad drug laws raise the use of the worst drugs! Cheap and dirty! I don't use any of the sort, only alcohol - also a drug in my opinion. Legalize it all! You'll get healthier and safer choices. Inform, not incarcerate. Art Partizani. OMG! What's going on with people. Have they not heard what it does to you. Dumb, just dumb. Mike Roberts.

Businesses support children hospital: Fantastic news. Brenda Kenny. Oh, that is wonderful! Danielle Blair Patterson. Neat! Andrea Grocott. Man kicked out of TDC chamber: Well - for heaven’s sake - only three minutes to speak in a “public forum” and a trespass notice being served? It seems to me the issue is that, of course, three minutes is woefully inadequate and an absolute insult to those people who turn up for public forums. It is no wonder that many consider that “democracy” is a joke and that “to have one’s say” in local government issues, whether through “consultation” or through attending council meetings, means that the decision-makers may make the decisions but do not listen. For the record, yes, I have spoken at Tasman District Council’s “public forums” and yes, I have exceeded my allotted time, and yes, I was requested to stop and sit down and did not do so - golly, was I not fortunate that I did not have a trespass notice served against me! And guess what? I am likely to do that again - until I consider that I have been heard as it is my right to do so! For the record (again) I was a councillor with Tasman District Council representing the Waimea-Moutere ward for a term, and I did try and establish

at the time a better way to “consult” and to “hear” those who had taken part in what is supposed to be a democratic and representative council and meeting process. Shame on you Mayor Richard and CEO Lindsay - instil a better process - don’t go down the route of cops and trespass notices ever again! Helen Campbell Tree poisoned? I have just been talking to our neighbour about why would the council poison a pine tree over 100 years old. He said other people were upset at seeing it die. The tree is on The Grampians Reserve just up from Blick Tce. In all my years of knowing the tree it has never had seedlings. It was a reasonably large tree in a photo taken in the early 1900s. All the other odd pine trees they have poisoned came from the ones planted on the Sugar Loaf and the town side of the Grampians. It will be a danger when the dead branches, which are heavily laden with cones, break off. Also, why did the council workers fill the old concrete tanning pit with all the branches they cut off the willows. These are now all beginning to sprout. The pit has historical significance for Nelson, it should be given more care. Sue Harris.

Fishing pond replenished The trout and salmon have been released in the Sport Fishing for Youth Charitable Trust ponds in Appleby and now all that’s needed are some keen young anglers to catch them again. About 330 rainbow trout and 100 salmon around 750g to 1kg in weight are being released in the man-made ponds near the Waimea River this week in preparation for the trust’s first fishing day of the season on November 8. The trust will be holding additional fishing days on November 15 and December 13, as well as evening fishing days on November 24 and December 2 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm - a number of other dates have also been booked for special interest groups and disabled anglers. “We have also introduced the opportunity for some evening fishing which may suit some families,” trust chairman Ian Kearney says. Ian says the ponds have been upgraded over the winter in preparation for this season’s opening. The tracks around the ponds are now stabilised and the trust and Tasman District Council have provided more picnic tables - the Pub Charity has assisted to maintain the ponds and remove some of the weed growth. “Our aim is to encourage kids to participate in outdoor activ-

Have you ever seen a teddy bear being shorn? Well, if you were at the Tapawera Boys and Girls Agriculture Club Show on Saturday, you would have. The annual show has been a popular event on the community calendar for just over 70 years. Run by the Tapawera Boys and Girls Agriculture Club, Tapawera show day is all about children and their pets, says organiser Cindy Ellis. “At the beginning of they day we have the pet lamb judging and the calf judging, pet judging and pet dog judging, then we add to that by doing things like the fancy dressed pet and teddy bear shearing. It gives the kids another opportunity to interact with their animals and show-

case their animals.” Making money has never been important for the club and after covering their costs, they donate the remaining proceeds to local community groups, such as the school and fire brigade. The show also offers community groups the chance to fund raise in their own way. With plenty of musical entertainment, trial motorcycle riders, wood chopping, a water slide, plenty of animals and the grand finale, a helicopter lolly scramble, the hundreds who attended Tapawera show day no doubt went away thoroughly satisfied. Cindy and fellow organisers wish to thank sponsors and everyone else who supported the “brilliant” day.

Quality fertiliser for your garden Most of us love eating our own tomatos, especially around Christmas time when they tend to be expensive and if we are lucky enough, have some ready for the Christmas holidays. We have an excellent mix here that is sure to give your tomatoes the best possible start. Filled with all the right nutrients required to grow a healthy crop and at a price you can afford. To understand how to grow good tomatoes you need to know what type of fertiliser is required, and most importantly why they need the different elements Lets start with nitrogen: nitrogen ensures good growth in the leaf. While that gets your plants away to a good start, you need to know that as the plants grow and develop too much nitrogen will deter blossoms and fruit. Phosphorus: This is the element that promotes good flowering which leads to good fruiting.

Potassium: Potassium helps the fruit form correctly and ripen well. As the tomato plants gets to the flowering stage, the plant will require larger amounts of potassium. Remember that tomatoes are a hungry plant, and for the best results they should be feed regularly after fruit setting (every three weeks). We all know the importance of phosphorus and potassium, but do not underestimate the importance of magnesium. Magnesium assists germination, fruit development, the strengthening of cell walls and assisting with the nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur uptake. Another forgotten element is sulphur. Sulphur helps produce vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes. We have that special mix here at Fertilizer NZ in just the right ratios.

Coastguard Nelson scoops a top award

Kate Russell Coastguard Nelson has been recognised for its hard work over the past year, picking up an award for 'unit of the year' for the central region of New Zealand at the charity's annual awards. The central region encompasses nine units stretching from the top of the South Island to Whanganui, and there are four regions in total through the country. President of Coastguard Nelson, Graeme Richards, says they are thrilled to receive the award, which is the first time they've won it in his four years of being president. “Next year, we'll be going for the national award,” he says. The award was based on things such as management, how finances are handled and presentation of the unit. “There is a lot of emphasis on how you're doing training-wise too,” says Graeme. “But the bottom line is, it's about saving lives at sea.” Regional instructor Robyn Holmes says that volunteers go through rounds of training before they can be out on the water. “It's quite a big commitment,” she says. Coastguard Nelson currently have a team of 21 volunteers but would love to have more people come on board. They are about to start a new round of training, and are looking for some new members. Anyone who is interested in volunteering can call Coastguard Nelson on (03) 548 8300.

New date for police open day Nelson Police have rescheduled their open day, after wet weather forced them to call off the original date in October. The open day will now be held this Sunday, and Nelson Police spokeswoman Barbara Dunn says that all the same things will be on offer, including station and cell block tours, fingerprinting and taser demonstrations. There will also be plenty of hands-on activities for kids, with police car rides and body armour to try on. The open days are held nationwide and give the public an opportunity to see modern-day policing in action. Barbara says they will still be giving away toy police puppies, and some them have already been allocated ‘guardians’ which will be announced on the day, but there will also be a lucky draw for puppies that people can enter at the open day. Nelson Police Station open day, Sunday November 8, at the Nelson Central Police Station from 10am – 2pm.

FireSmart Advice Protecting your property in the advent of a fire passing through has been highlighted by the tragic fires over past summers. Embers spread by wind are the major culprit. FireSmart tips for protecting your property: • Clean gutters to reduce the risk of embers catching hold and starting a fire in the roof. • Keep a 1-1.5 m strip around the outside of your house free of flammable material- use rock not bark • Plant low flammability plant species within the 10-20m zone around your house.

• Within 20m of the house, remove flammable material from underneath trees and shrubs and remove branches up to 2-3m to reduce the risk of a fire “laddering” up into the tree tops.

• Keep firewood piles away from the house.

• Ensure embers can’t be blown under your house. Don’t store wood and flammable material under the house.

• Look around the house for places where hot embers can land on flammable material and catch.

• Wooden fences, if on fire, will carry flames along their length creating a ‘fuse’. Put a break between the fence and the house.

Anni is a European chiropodist, pedicurist and beautician, based in Richmond with a career spanning 23 years. After qualifying in Budapest, Anni worked in Toronto before moving to Nelson 11 years ago. While many think a pedicure is simply trimming and painting nails, Anni offers a more comprehensive approach to foot health to help rid people of ingrown toenails, cracked heels, corns and dry skin. Her aim is to relieve the painful symptoms and treat the underlying problems which if left, can sometimes lead Anni Eniko Fekete to infection. Her services are also vital in maintaining healthy feet and a trip to her practice should be just as much a part of people’s routine as going to the hairdressers. Anni is passionate about the healing abilities of reflexology which is another service she offers for people suffering from ailments such as breathing, digestive difficulties and lower back pain. Anni welcomes men and women to her practice, so to book a reflexology appointment, pedicure or manicure give her a call today.

Mother and daughter enjoy life in Richmond

As a community we are much more than landmarks and buildings. It’s our people that make the difference. Yet most of the time, although we may nod or wave, we know nothing of our neighbours. And we should. Not all are community leaders or six feet tall. Two well-known people are Bernice and Suzie Elford. We have all seen them in and around the mall, up the main street, sometimes together. Mum, Bernice, always towing a small-wheeled shopping trolley, Suzie with a big smile on her face. And always impeccably dressed. Bernice turns a sprightly 71 this Your Community Mother and daughter, Bernice and Suzie Elford, are often seen Thursday and Suzie is the daughNewspaper together in and around Richmond.

and has acted as local badminton club captain for the last three years. Suzie also plays herself every Monday and Friday morning. Suzie attended the local schools. On the subject of being bipolar Suzie says that often she gets misunderstood and misjudged and, while it hurts, she says “I just carry on” Bernice, belongs to Club 50 held in the town hall 9.30am every Tuesday, and has been doing so for the last 23 years. Bernice’s memories start in 1970 here in Richmond when she and husband Kevin moved and started building on a block of land bought off Bill Wilkes. Bernice chipped in doing housework for different families. They still live in that same house today. “I remember Richmond was basically a superette and a drapery,” she says. Bernice also has a son and an 11-year-old grandson she loves to see. But most of the time both ladies say “we just keep to ourselves”. A nice day out is window shopping and a cuppa at the Boulevard Cafe in the mall. Although neither has been out of the country they have visited some other towns, like Invercargill and Tauranga. And yes, Suzie dresses her and her mum from the Richmond Salvation Army Family Store and other shops where, by her own admission she gets some beautiful clothes and accessories for very low prices. Suzie and Bernice are not what you would call shy, more reserved, so next time you see them why not say hi? They are well worth listening to.

Just a thought... Jesus - a name frequently associated with religion, moral ethics or the word used when one stubs their toe on the driveway. Christians worship him as Lord and saviour, Muslims revere him as a great prophet while many see Jesus as simply a good man of great wisdom and spirituality. Today, in western society, many oppose the idea of God and religion, often for valid reasons such as the issue of pain and suffering, science and reason, or biased religious hypocrites. However, a great weight lies on one very important question “Who is Jesus?” Jesus of Nazareth, born to Mary and Joseph on historical record some 2000 years ago, was raised a Jew, worked as a carpenter, turned Rabbi (teacher of Judaism) and was later crucified in his early thirties. As a result of his life and ministry, Jesus altered the world as we know it. Today, we celebrate Christmas and Easter James Dixon from around the dates of Richmond New Life his birth and death, Church. we have a calendar that runs from the date that Jesus was born and Churches in almost every nation on Earth set up to worship this Rabbi from rural Israel. The teachings and actions of Jesus should leave us to question whether he was fully sane or a complete nutter. CS Lewis, author of the Narnia series once stated “A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.” If Jesus is who he claimed to be,“the Son of God”then this changes everything. The ministry of Jesus was recorded by Christians and non-Christians at the time to be more than simply teaching but involved miracles such as the restoring sight to the blind instantaneously, healing of those with leprosy and even the raising of those dead to life. After being crucified and buried in a tomb he was reportedly seen alive weeks later by over 500 eye witnesses, a truly impossible defiance over death. So then, the question for you remains - who is Jesus?

Christmas can be a tough time for many people and this is one way local businesses and the Richmond community can help make a family’s Christmas that bit easier. Anything non-perishable is welcomed by the Harvey World Travel team, including toys and food items.

A charity that helps around 2000 children a week get involved in physical exercise and sport received a boost this week when its founder received the $5000 AMP Powerhouse regional scholarship. Richmond’s Matt Watson started the non-profit organisation, No Child Left Inside, in February last year. It became a charitable trust in September this year and now delivers a physical activity programme to 2000 primary school children in 13 schools around the Nelson-Tasman region. “After volunteering at schools and seeing the deficiency in children’s ability during PE, I set up No Child Left Inside in February last year,” Matt says. “It teaches the basic skills kids need to be able to participate in sports, as well as active play - these are the building blocks to children learning how to engage.” Matt says NCLI is free for schools and delivers a PE programme designed to increase children’s confidence and capabilities.

Comment: Safari hunt a thrill Steve Page

The first time I was offered Safari Park shooting I was a bit indifferent. It was 1985 and we shot fallow with legendary taxidermist and hunting guide Kerry O'Rourke. The location was the Black Forest in Otago and from memory it was June. And bloody cold. Way back then I learnt quite a lot. I remember very clearly glassing a side of a hill and while being told there were nine animals there I couldn't see a damn thing. Although I was at a distance of about 400 metres, all I could see was tussock, snow and the odd Manuka bush. Then, after a while I saw my first fallow grazing. All of a sudden it seemed like my eyes got trained I saw another and then another, until finally I truly knew what to look for. I did get a stag way back then but only after crawling on my hands and knees for about three hours dressed in flimsy white overalls. You see, shooting in a Safari Park guarantees only one thing. There are animals there. That's it. It also introduces a new set of rules that help the animal. In the wild they rely on only their own observation, but in this environment all of the animals sound the danger warning. Be it a whistle or grunt, or in this case a sort of sneeze by the goats. This happened every time you got close and every time the fallow disappeared for another few hours. It was, in fact, very tough hunting that required way more skill than luck. Fast forward 30 years and I got another chance to shoot at a local Safari Park at Doughboy Safaris, just south or Murchison. So I jumped at the chance. I took my 12 year old son Stan and shoot-

ing buddy Neil Simpson from the Motueka Gun Shop. Two hours later we were sitting on the bench in owner and guide Alex Monahan's tourist barn-come accommodation. All around was silence and we prepared ourselves for the shoot. Alex was instantly likable and took this trip of ours very seriously and was determined to make this a memorable hunt. The target was a fallow for the freezer. Cost, and that includes a nights accommodation, was $250 for my son Stan and I. By the end of the trip this was to prove to be the best $250 I have ever spent. I want you to know we paid and that's also what it would cost you as readers, so we got no special discount or requests for a favourable story. This is how it happened. We got ready, checked the guns etc and Alex gave us all an overview of the property. A quite large 1000 acres that took in two reasonable-sized hill ranges. Easily into the clouds on a bad day. More importantly, lots of good faces that the animals favoured later in the day. Whilst not spooky the range of animals was very alert. Goats, reds, sheep and fallow all shared the property. As we were walking out of the accommodation, a huge red deer ran alongside the low fence not more that 300 metres from us, grunted and tore off up the hill. Two fallow stags met him quite by accident on the trail and leapt both left and right through fencing to get out of his way. Although from where we looked there appeared little of no cover, that big red completely disappeared. Almost into thin air. Alex told us to not underestimate just how well these animals know the property, and how to

We went back into the barn which sits just at the start of the walking path up to the hunting grounds, when all of a sudden three fallow stags poked their heads out of the cover and walked into the top paddock for a nibble on the long green grass. All of us dropped to the ground and sat and watched. Alex sat behind Neil, Stan and I and talked us around the animals. Two were of good timber, and one had, for the third year put out a scrappy head. In a very kind gesture, Alex gave the OK for Stan to take a shot at him. Stan was on Browning 6.5x55 with a Nikon Scope. So with me whispering all of the safety points in his ear, he sat and quietly drew a bead on the animal. Just behind him I whispered, "behind the front leg, Stan" and "just squeeze the trigger, nice and relaxed". After what seemed like an eter-

nity the sound of a Hardy suppressor boom broke the silence. We watched and waited. Nothing. The other two animals bolted back into the safety of the bush cover followed by this stag. But this one was just that bit slower and after 100 metres he faltered and fell. In a testament to these tough little animals, the bullet Stan fired had, in fact, hit the top of the heart. We all leapt up and went over. A few photos later and Alex had the animal back to the cooling shed. We then continued up the hill in search of an animal for Neil. We stopped on the top plateau and I decided to just sit there and glass the great view of three hillsides that I had. Stan, Neil and guide Alex went further up about a kilometre. Neil spotted his target and fired. He was using a 22-250 and, although hit, the animal disappeared into a patch of bush. While we kept the

glasses on the bush, Alex went over to flush him out. He did on a number of occasions and again I was surprised as to how close he got before the deer ran. Probably only five metres. We were able to observe it all the way, along with the other animals who, while 5-600 metres away, also stood and watched us all. Just on dusk, the animal was felled by a careful barrage of shots from Neil and his trusty 22-250. Alex, acting more like a pack horse than a guide, bought the animal over to where we could heave it onto the ute. Happily, we all made it off the hill in the dark and down to the purpose-built cooling house where the animals were dressed and prepared for the trip back to Richmond. I had a ball. I learnt more about deer shooting that day from Alex and Neil than I ever had before and I spent some genuine great time with my son. He learnt firearm safety, to listen, to follow instructions, respect for animals, and what we have available to us. And best of all, respect for himself to be able to enjoy the great outdoors and to put into responsible practise all he had learnt. Alex has agreed to offer to our readers the same deal I got. One animal for the freezer, one night's accommodation in the hunter barn for two (bring your own tucker and bedding) for $250. I challenge you, dads, granddads, to take your boys or girls out and show them the great outdoors and give them a memory for a lifetime. Big thumbs up to Alex Monahan from Doughboy Safaris, who can be contacted on 03 523 9249. And also a big thanks to Neil and James from The Gun Shop in Motueka.
