Santa Claus is coming to town Page 6

Waimea Village has sold! “Thank God it’s over”. That was the catch cry from residents of Waimea Village on Saturday night as they celebrated buying the village from Michael and Carolyn Wright. The Wright’s eight year tenure as owners and managers of the village ended on Friday and residents were keen to blow off steam and celebrate the end of the gruelling three year dispute. The battle stemmed from annual increases to the monthly levy residents paid, which started from $80 a month at the end of 2010 to a proposed $350 this year. Residents were furious with the massive increases, which they had to pay on top of rates and other normal bills. The residents had other issues as well. They had paid almost $400,000 in a repair and replacement fund that was controlled by the Wrights. The residents felt the money wasn’t there and went to court to try to protect the fund. But all that is behind them now, including this year’s proposed in-

crease to $350 which is already dead in the water. Those 148 of the 172 home owners in the village who bought a share have already seen their levy payments drop to $135 a month and it is expected to drop even further in six months’ time when the costs are reviewed. The remaining lease owners are still paying the same price, $172.50. The village is now managed by a five person board, all elected by the residents and headed by Network Tasman chairman, Trevor Tuffnell. The board is comprised of three outsiders and two people who live in the village. It has contracted out the management services, which Kit Maling – the former councillor who stitched the deal to buy the village together – has secured for a year. SEE PAGE 2

Local dog charity turns 5 Bringing up five years is a “major milestone” for the Nelson Ark, and co-founding trustee Karen Howieson says the future is exciting. “It means a lot. We started out in 2002 with no premises and no funding and it took us until 2008 to get significant funding and find a premises,” she says.

The Nelson Ark rescues unwanted dogs and pairs them with young people who are perhaps losing their way, transforming the lives of both the young people and the rescued dogs, and Karen says by hitting the five year milestone that it showed the Nelson Ark “had survived”. “A lot of charitable

trusts don’t make it but we’ve got community support, we’ve got funders and we’ve got wonderful volunteers and a team that makes things happen.” Looking forward, Karen says it would be ideal to have their own premises, having been currently operating out of Stonehurst Farm in Hope.

Waimea Village sold to its residents FROM PAGE 1

Residents committee chair Jerry Rowland says the party on Saturday night was a great event. “It was brilliant, everybody was relaxed and laughing and we had a huge crowd. I mean the hall was packed, everyone brought enough food to feed half of Nelson for the next week,” he joked. He says there has been a noticeable difference in the village already. “Everyone is laughing and smiling. This is really what the village has needed, a shot in the arm. The sale will also make a huge impact on the value of property in the village because there’s no longer any insecurity or tension. The people can look forward to the future and people buying homes here can look forward to the future.” Jerry also thanked all those who had

A new set of car parks at the Richmond Mall behind the Richmond Police Station could cause some drivers to get stuck. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Mall car parks no blunder

Getting trapped in the Richmond Mall car park is now a real possibility. Sixteen new parks have been painted behind the police station wall without any room for the first row of cars to leave if someone parks in behind. This particular space was previously used to exit the mall in between Coupland’s and the Richmond Police Station. When a new exit was created closer to Kmart, and where the Warehouse will be, the space was turned into 16 car parks. Common sense seems to have prevailed for the customers though, and as yet Richmond Mall manager Belinda de Clerq says there have been no reports of anyone being stuck in the

new car park. “It was done intentionally actually, well that’s the feedback I got from the project manager.” She says it was certainly not a blunder, and that retailers will be granted access to these particular car parks for the entire day. If the front and back drivers leave at the same time then the trap could be avoided. “I’m in the process of allocating them to the retailers,” she says. “We have to maintain a certain number of car parks and that’s the reason they were done. Instead of having the far corner for retailers we have those 16

for retailers.” So what happens when one of the retailers needs to leave early? “I’ll give them, the front and back, to the same retailer so if they need to get out then they’re able to grab someone in the store.” There are 700 car parks on the Richmond Mall side and 300 on the new Upper Queen development side. During the entire month of December retailers are not allowed to park on the property – priority is instead given to customers. “We can always do for more and I think in the future there are plans for extra.” However, this particular set of 16 will be used by retailers all year round.

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz DRIVEWAYS TO BE MADE SAFER: Eighty Nelson driveways belonging to state homes will be made “child safe” thanks to a new Housing New Zealand initiative. Housing Minister and Nelson MP Nick Smith made the announcement on Friday, which will see 4000 driveways made safer by June next year in a $30 million programme. New Zealand has one of the highest rates of child driveway accidents in the world, says Nick and it is estimated that one child is hospitalised every two weeks and five children are killed each year as a result of driveway accidents. SPEED CAMERAS SET TO 4KM/H: All speed cameras across the country have been recalibrated with the new 4km/h speed tolerance as part of the police push to reduce summer road deaths. The 4km/h threshold will be in place from December 1 until January 31.

Stoke-based fish oil refining company SeaDragon has given the green light to plans to build a new $6million plant near Richmond that will increase its annual production ten times to 5000 tonnes. SeaDragon is already the largest refiner of fish oils in Australasia producing 400 to 500 tonnes a year for the growing health supplements industry. It employs 10 staff but that number will more than double once the new plant is completed by this time next year. Chief executive Ross Keeley says the new factory will be built on a site near the corner of Lower Queen St and Best Island Rd. The plant will be 1000 square metres “with some height that is required for the processing of fish oils”. The new plant is expected to be finished within 12 months. Ross says SeaDragon is expanding because it can’t keep up with the demand for its products. The company will con-

extracts oils from sharks caught under the quota system in New Zealand waters but will change its focus to higher quality oils from hoki, salmon and tuna once the new plant is operating. “SeaDragon is in a unique position to develop a high-value niche within the fast growing international market for Omega 3-rich fish oils. We are situated at the heart of the New Zealand fishing industry in Nelson, giving us access to abundant sources of hoki fished from the world’s cleanest oceans as well as salmon farmed in the Marlborough Sounds. Oil from both species is rare and can attract a premium over the anchovy oils that dominate the Omega-3 fish oil market. We also benefit from New Zealand’s reputation for integrity, food product purity and safety.” Ross says they will process the entire fish once the fillet has been removed. He says the hoki will come from Sealord and Talley’s, the salmon from New Zealand King Salmon and the tuna from Solander’s joint venture in Fiji. “We will be dealing with Nelson companies where possible which adds value to the region’s fishing industry,” he says.

Tasman has highest rate of ‘Europeans’ Tasman is the whitest region in New Zealand, with a whopping 93.1 per cent of us identifying as “European”. We also have the highest rate of home ownership in the country, but earn less than the national average and almost one in five of us was born overseas. The information was released yesterday as part of the latest batch of 2013 census results from Statistics New Zealand. It showed Tasman leading two major categories, the highest percentage of Europeans as well as the highest percentage of home ownership. Government statistician Liz MacPherson

says information from the census shows that as a nation we have a lower rate of home ownership than in 2006, yet the number of dwellings has increased. “On the whole, the Tasman region reflects those trends, but the rate of home ownership is higher than in other parts of the country.” According to the latest census, the Tasman region’s rate of home ownership was 75 per cent, which has decreased from 75.8 per cent in 2006. At the same time the number of occupied dwellings in the region has increased by 1404 since the previous census.

Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz Along with having the highest percentage of “Europeans” in the country, Tasman has the second lowest percentage of Maori after Otago, at 7.6 per cent, and the lowest percentage of Asians, just two per cent. Other information showed that the median income from people aged 15 and over is $25,700, which is below the national average of $28,500. Although more of us are graduating from university, with 14.4 per

cent of us with a degree, as opposed to 10.8 per cent in 2006. A whopping 17.8 per cent of Tasman residents were born overseas, with the vast majority of those born in the United Kingdom or Ireland. Liz says the information from the census will help the region plan for the future. “The information gathered is vital to New Zealand’s growth and prosperity. It will be used by government, councils, community groups and businesses to plan for the future.” More information on the census can be found at www.stats.govt.nz.

If you are a teacher, you know you’ve been around a long time when you start teaching the children of children you have already taught. And that’s been happening quite a lot lately to Hope School teacher Janie Hall who will be retiring at the end of this year. Janie is signing off after more than 40 years in the classroom, the last 32 of those at Hope School. “I’ve been teaching quite a few of the children’s children lately so I guess that tells you something. We have Jack and Maia Kinimonth here now and their mum Joanne was in the first class I taught when I came to Hope.” Janie trained at Palmerston North where she got her first teaching job at Russell Street School in 1969. She subsequently taught in Wellington, Haast and Kaikoura before moving to the Aniseed Valley in 1978 and settling in for the long

haul at Hope School - she also had stints teaching in England and Scotland during her overseas travels. Janie has always taught the new entrants class during her time at Hope and says she really enjoys seeing the transformation that takes place during the early years of schooling. “I’ve always taught new entrants except for two years at Rata Street School and I love seeing all the changes at that age. They change and learn so much in the first few years.” Hope School principal Dave Pritchard says Janie is a wonderful teacher who gives the children a very good start. “Her pupils always come out of her classes knowing how to read, write and do arithmetic. She’s also a good advocate of the arts and gets the kids involved in painting, weaving and felting.”

Waimea Intermediate students raise funds for Natureland A group of students from Waimea Intermediate School has won an award in a national competition offered by the Young Enterprise Trust. The students won $500 towards their community project, as part of the Community Enterprise Competition. Under the programme the students had to plan a project to benefit their local community, in partnership with a not-for-profit or charitable organisation. The team chose to develop a fundraising initiative for the Natureland Zoo Rescue and Rehabilitation Project, aiming to support and promote the awareness and conservation of birdlife, in particular the tui. As one of six teams to be awarded the funds to complete their project,

they were able to write and illustrate a book called “Keri”, which tells the story of a tui that is attacked by a cat, then rescued and nursed back to good health. Group member Estella Brown, 12, who co-authored the book says it was “a nice way to help out and it’s good to know we accomplished something,” while Brtiney Terris, 11, says that they “did it for a good reason” and were proud of what they achieved. The book will be sold to locals and visitors to the region with funds going back to the Rescue and Rehabilitiation project, which is currently solely funded by the zoo. Christine Ewers, educator for Natureland Zoo says the funds will be extremely helpful and Natureland was grateful for the students efforts.

Peter Hanna is thrilled with the success a charity concert held on Saturday night, raising $9000 for Ranui House. Ranui House is an accommodation block in Christchurch where the caregivers of sick patients can stay for free while they help their loved ones recover. Peter, who stayed in Ranui House when his wife Lynda was battling leukaemia, was so thankful of the service he decided to help fundraise for them. On Saturday was the first of the fundraisers, with a near sell out Hope Community Church

witnessing musical performances from George Rutledge, Gabor Tolney and his trio, talented Garin College students and music teacher John Phillips and friends. “Donations were massive. 400 tickets were sold but we had a heap of donations,” Peter says. “All along when we were selling tickets people still wanted to give to such a good cause even if they didn’t want a ticket. But we had great feedback from everyone who went. It was a big success.” The next fundraiser will be a hangi in Brightwater in late January, to be organised by George Paki Paki.

Top neighbour recognised

As far as neighbours go, you’d be hard pushed to find one better than Dot Tilley, a Richmond woman who this month retires from 21 years in Neighbourhood Support. Dot has been the street contact for upper Queen St’s group for the last two decades and while she insists it’s not been hard work, Neighbourhood Support coordinator Marty Price says she’s been nothing short of “marvellous” to have kept up the role for so long. “I’ve been amazed to see someone be a street contact for so many years. The average person normally lasts around four or five years, so 21 years is a big achievement. I am extremely appreciative to her.” Dot says the reason she’s coordinated her patch for so long is that she truly believes that getting to know your neighbours can only be a good thing. “After all if something happens you want to be able to go and knock on the door don’t you? In an emergency or when things go wrong it is good to know who is next door or across the road.” She says over the years her group has been lucky, with no major incidents aside from many a smashed letterbox during a period of time when it seemed they were targeted. “There were things we could’ve done without, such as broken bottles and replacing five letterboxes, but overall things haven’t been bad.” She says the role has mainly been about keeping contact names and numbers

Richmond’s Dot Tilley was recognised by Neighbourhood Support’s Marty Price last week after 21 years of running a neighbourhood support group in upper Queen St. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie. and introducing herself to new residents when they’ve moved in, alongside keeping up to date with the regular reports. While Dot is set to retire, another resident has come forward to take over and the Neighbourhood Support network

continues to grow under Marty’s guidance. While he’s been in the role just 12 months, the number of groups in Richmond has grown from 50 to 108, with another 10 groups about to be set up in the next few weeks.

Nelson Airport celebrations ‘bring back great memories’ Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz Ten thousand people turned out for the Nelson Airport’s 75th anniversary celebrations on Saturday and it was a walk down memory lane for some people in more ways than one. The airport opened its doors to the public on Saturday to share the milestone with the community who enjoyed a full day of entertainment. With classic aircraft on display, DC3 and helicopter rides available, there was plenty for the public to see and do, but it was the flyover by the classic fighters including Nanchangs and an Avro Anson that had Stoke man Harold Ford brimming with anticipation. While Nelson’s aviation history started with the landing of an Avro 504 in 1921, that particular manufacturer brings back fond memories for Harold. A Mark II Avro Anson was the aircraft the 92 year old undertook his training in whilst in the RNZAF during WW2. He says he was pleased to have the opportunity to see an aircraft like it in the sky again10:02:31 after so many years. 23/11/13 AM

Bill Reid with Harold Ford, a 92 year old Stoke man who visited the Nelson Airport’s anniversary celebrations especially to see the only flying Avro Anson in the world. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie. “It is amazing to see. The Avro Anson was first built in 1935 and the last in 1952. It was the longest serving aircraft during the war.” The flyover by the 1936 Mark I Avro Anson bomber was courtesy of local man Bill Reid who has spent the best

part of 10 years restoring the plane. Harold says he has been “keeping an eye on the restoration” but until Saturday hadn’t seen it in the sky. “It’s nice to see the dear old thing going past. It brings back memories. Good memories, of flying.”

manager, the residents committee and residents are all working together and can look to a very positive future. As chairman of the residents committee I wish to thank the wider Nelson and Richmond community for your huge concern and personal and financial support. No matter where we went we were confronted with kind words of encouragement. Whoever said “a community doesn’t really care about the plight of others” could not have been more wrong. You cared! In particular, I must mention Steve Page and Andrew Board of the Nelson Weekly and Waimea Weekly, our lawyer Warwick Heal, our accountant David Verhagen, our advisor Judene Edgar and the purchase instigator Kit Maling. Each one has made a crucial contribution in time and effort that has determined where we are today. Of even greater importance, they have been with us from the very beginning and have become close and personal friends. However, my greatest thanks must go to the vast majority of village residents their families, friends and my fellow committee members. Their strength

and determination to stand up against what they believed to be an on-going injustice was the pivotal factor in all of our actions. To my fellow committee members, no words can express the debt of gratitude the village owes to you. There were a few who tried to faction that unity, they failed! They simply misjudged the older generation. Many in the village may be in their twilight years yet they showed a backbone of determination that only many years of life’s experience can harden. Kind regards, Jerry Rowland, chairman of Waimea Village Residents Committee. Logger’s death a ‘tragedy’: This is a tragedy, but it’s unfortunately all too common, this is the 8th (or 9th?) death in forestry this year. Condolences to the family and my support to all forestry workers to organise and demand better working conditions/the ability to speak up. B Morgan Murrah. Oh no, terrible news. Michelle Walker. Tragic, one more too many in the forestry industry. I had to quickly think where our son’s forestry gang were working today. My heart skipped a beat, and right then he walked in the door. Our deepest condolences to this man’s family, and colleagues. Sharon May Patterson.

Gutwrenching! Beth Lewis. Yes, that is the nine forestry death this year. It is not nice to hear the bad news. Glad I got out of logging 12 years ago even though I’ve enjoyed the experience logging. My thoughts to his family. RIP. Dennis O’Brien. 1080 not the way: 1080 should be banned, there are other ways to control the pests. DOC still do drops where possum numbers are low and say they are targeting rats and stoats but they dont’ go for 1080. I’m a hunter and it’s sickening to stumble across a deer near a creek that has had a slow painful death because of 1080. It’s not humane. (Via text). Reply to the one comment from last week’s Your Voice: You say 1080 needs to continue while admitting it isn’t great. Ground hunting by trapping is a safe solution, I am not in dreamland, if you put a bounty on anything you will find people who will want to make a living out of it. New Zealand’s bush isn’t harsh to those who feel at home there. New Zealand’s bush is home to native birds, insects and lizards. It is not home for tonnes of 1080 to be dumped annually. Glen James.

Buyers often tell us that they don’t like not knowing a price for the property and are frustrated when they are asked to tell the agent what they would pay for a property. Isn’t it the agents’ job to provide a client with an appraisal prior to listing the property? A registered valuer would have to come up with a value and in most cases of no price marketing the agent will have done so as well, so the question is why the property is marketed without a price when so many buyers tell us how much they don’t like it. It’s a good question to ask. If you are interested in a property

that is marketed without a price, ask for a list of comparable sales information and collect as much current sales information as you can of similar properties in the area or request a registered valuation. If you do get a registered valuation make sure that the information is completely confidential to you only. You have purchased it and you should be the only one who benefits from it.

Dr Courtney Clyne works closely with individuals and couples on issues of intimacy and sexual functioning. Most of the time sex therapists have found working with couples produces the best response to treatment. Sometimes it takes people a little while to seek help. Courtney works very hard to make it as easy and comfortable as possible. The first step is the hardest; it gets easier from there and clients are always very glad they did. If you’re wondering if you could do with help, you probably could - most people who don’t need help, already know it. Sometimes the issues people come to Courtney with aren’t the root problem. Her role in people’s recovery is to help them uncover the issues that are maintaining their symptoms and help resolve those issues to help them move on. Courtney has observed great results including amazing changes in people’s lives and sexual functioning. If your issues have been going on for some time, they are unlikely to resolve on their own; if they were going to improve without treatment they probably would have improved already. Some clients can receive free treatment if they have sensitive claims with ACC or through the PHO funding, received through their GPs. Food Zone’s customers say the improved food and great atmosphere since Monique Peterson and Ricky Tasker bought it eight months ago keeps them coming back and sharing the news with their workmates and friends. Pop in for good old fashioned homemade food - all made on site from scratch (you’ll find no pre-mix or short cuts here). Choose from our popular real blokes burgers - deep fried hoki, homemade chicken or beef, or our healthy options: sushi, a range of fresh pasta, green, fruit or thai chicken salads, wraps and some of the best sandwiches around. Fried food (with our own batter), homemade sausage rolls and pies. Our theory on food is - if we wouldn’t eat it we won’t sell it. Monique knows how to cater to a crowd – whether it’s ten people for lunch or a morning tea for 160. Next time you need catering phone us, we are confident you’ll become a regular. We retained the existing catering clients, who tell us they are rapt with the changes and now have many more who have chosen us because of our fresh and original food and no hassle, happy service. Vegetarian and gluten free options. Delivery arranged if required. Last minute panic - don’t worry, give us a call - we’ll do our best for you. Healthcare that is excellent, accessible and caring is the philosophy and practice of Washbourn Medical Centre. Dr Lucia Mitchell has been at the medical centre since 2003, with Dr Janine Bailey, practice manager Julia McGrath and practice nurse Lisa Coppersmith. They moved into spacious and bright custom built premises at 12 Oxford St in 2006 and provide personal, friendly healthcare to local families and individuals. The practice has gained Cornerstone Accreditation from the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners – a warrant of fitness for patient wellbeing and safety. Washbourn Medical comprises of a warm, caring team supporting the doctors and welcoming patients. Teamwork and communications are important to everyone at the Centre and the result is an experience team who are confident in their roles. Professional development and training is encouraged with a new treatment for osteoporosis available for certain patients.

Wakefield Country players actors, from left, Tracy Gibbs, Peter Verstappen, Trish Sullivan and Philip Calder perform in Shenanigan’s Wake by Daryl Peebles at the Wakefield Village Hall.

Country players back on stage There may be a coffin containing a “dead body” on stage for the Wakefield Players latest production but Shenanigan’s Wake is anything but sombre with lots of laughs and songs to get the audience into the Christmas spirit. The group’s production manager Dixie McDonald says Shenanigan’s Wake by Daryl Peebles is set in an Irish pub and as the name suggests there are plenty of humorous antics as the deceased Seamus Shenanigan is farewelled by his family and friends. Seamus’ last request was to have a bottle of Jameson’s whiskey sprinkled on his grave but Dixie says his friends feel the Jameson’s should be filtered through their kidneys first. “The reverend, played by local school principal Peter Verstappen, is overseeing the wake and is none too impressed about the whiskey being

Keep your car safe this summer and visit Tasman Auto Electrics, the local team of friendly, highly skilled technicians committed to your auto electrical requirements. Air conditioning playing up? Don’t go through a long hot summer simply putting up with it. Tasman Auto Electrics have the equipment and the knowledge to sort it out for summer. Not only can a faulty air conditioning system leave you hot and bothered, but a unit that is not serviced or cared for properly can also cause potential expensive, unexpected and unpleasant problems. It may make strange noises, leak moisture, give off musty smells or worse cause allergic reactions from eye irritation, runny noses, tender throats and asthmatic symptoms. Your car’s cooling and heating systems generate and retain condensation all year round so dust and pollen often settle there, offering bacteria an ideal breeding ground. The best way to stop an air conditioning problem in its tracks is by running the unit at least

five times per week to prevent seals drying out. You should disinfect your car annually to protect it against bacteria growth and it should be serviced every summer with a specialist disinfectant treatment. So before you hit the road this summer, visit Tasman Auto Electrics and have the team service and repair your air conditioning unit. Today MTA is the hub of New Zealand’s automotive Industry representing more than 4000 automotive Industry professionals.

Be FireSmart and keep your family and the community safe this summer. Now is the time to be ensuring your property is ready for the hot dry weather to come. Sparks and embers from a wild fire can travel long distances. Embers carried by wind are the biggest threat to your house and property. What can you do? Keep house gutters clean, ensure embers can’t go under the house onto any flammable material stored under there. Have a non flammable zone around your house of at least one metre, remove tree and shrub branches up to two to three metres off the ground in a circle at least 10 metres around the house. Store the firewood heap away from the house – not against the wall and plant low flammable species within 10 metres of your house.

Make good choices about who we go out with – we can’t leave responsibility with friends, but having at least one sober person in the group helps. Everyone makes silly decisions sometimes – limit the damage by coming in to see one of the INP Medical Clinic team as soon as possible. Emergency contraception has to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex – preferably in the first 24 hours – you can get it from us. STIs are very common over the summer – if there’s a chance that you’ll have sex over the summer – keep a condom handy. If you do have sex without a condom with a new partner – you’ll need a checkup. Make an appointment to see one of the team. Sex that you don’t consent to is never, ever ok – INP

and I felt very well taken care of. After a few minutes of talking I got up determined to get a flight back to Wellington and the hostel we lived in. Just before I left the table, the old woman took my hand, looked me deeply in the eyes and gave me 50 dollars. The reason why this situation is so important to me is because of the deep felt care you both showed me that day. Each of you did what you could in trying to comfort me. Your kindness was overwhelming to me and I want to let you how very grateful I am that you came to my table that afternoon.

I want to be a Mako, says college star Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz Fletcher Matthews is adamant; he wants to be a Mako. He’s one of the most exciting rugby talents to come out of Waimea College, and instead of following in the footsteps of other secondary school players and heading out of town, Fletcher knows there is a pathway if he stays in Nelson. “Ever since the Makos came together as a group I knew I wanted to play for them,” the school leaver says. “The fact Tasman rugby is getting so strong, they won the Championship this year, they’re just as good as anyone. But it’s my dream to play for them.” He considered joining eventual Press Cup finalists Nelson College at the end of last year but decided against the move across town. He says there was more to school than just rugby, and his year at Waimea couldn’t have been better – he enjoyed the school environment, the teachers and “just everything there is real awesome”. Plus there was the added motivation from his mother Sue. “She told me she didn’t know if she’d be able to come watch the Nelson versus Waimea game if I went to Nelson. Every

Fletcher Matthews has decided to stay in Nelson in a bid to make the Tasman Makos in the next two years. He played 70 games for the Waimea College first XV making him one of the most-capped players in the school’s history. Photo: Phillip Rollo. year that’s the game we want to win, so it would’ve been pretty hard for her.” Asked about the decision to stay, Fletcher says he has no regrets, and why should he? He ended up making 70 appearances for the Waimea first XV, a huge milestone that makes him the second most-capped player at the college. He made his debut in 2010 when he was just Year 10 and when there

was just one Year 11 in the squad. He says his 50th cap was his highlight. A regular at fullback or at centre for his school, it’s on the wing where Fletcher sees his long term future, and it was in that position he was selected in the New Zealand Schools Barbarian side, making him just the second Waimea student chosen in a national rugby squad.

While the New Zealand Schools team travelled to Australia for their annual transTasman fixture, the Barbarians were just based in Auckland for a short camp and a game against a schools selection. Fletcher played the full 70 minutes on the wing, and says “he loved it”. “It was just good getting a taste of what the next step is going to be and it was a huge help in moving onto senior A level or higher stuff.” And Fletcher’s next step will be with the Tasman Makos rugby sevens team, if he can get himself fit in time – an injury ruled him out of the South Island competition last month – and then will come his first taste of senior club rugby, having just declared his allegiance to Wanderers. Fletcher has signed a two year junior development contract with the Tasman Rugby Union, and if he has a good season next year it can be bumped up. “I’m staying here for the next two years at this stage.

Fishing with

Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club

Tapawera Area School high jumper Chris Brake jumped a new personal best of 2m just a week before nationals. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

Jumper hits new heights Last week Chris Brake was praising his consistency ahead of the New Zealand Secondary School Track and Field Championship in Hamilton, but acknowledged he wasn’t quite feeling it in high jump. What a difference a week can make. The 18 year old jumper will be the only Tapawera Area School representative at the national event, but he’s probably Nelson’s best shot at a gold medal if recent form has anything to go by. Chris stands at 180cm tall, and on Friday night, he leapt 2 metres in the air to finally clear the impressive high jump milestone on his first attempt – a target he had been trying to reach for the past two years. With it, he also claimed the Tasman Centre record for the M20 age group but was just shy of the senior record which

stands at 2.03m, and put himself firmly back into medal contention for nationals. Chris, who is coached by school P.E teacher Stephen Haunch, came back from the national event with three medals last year, one of each colour – gold, silver and bronze. His gold came in the high jump, and while he will compete in that event, along with long jump and triple jump, it’s the latter which he sees his best opportunity to strike gold at his last secondary school event. “I’m actually really happy with where I’m at, at the moment,” says Chris. “With my triple jump I’m a lot more confident than I was going into the last secondary school nationals. I really want to go there and

have a similar performance to what I did last year.” Before Friday, the Year 13 student has personal best statistics of 1.97m in high jump, 14m in triple jump and 6.81m in long jump. Although he hasn’t bettered those marks so far this season, consistency has been his key this year right across the board, and he had cleared 1.95m in the high jump with “quite a few” unsuccessful attempts at 1.98m, before finally reaching 2m. “I’ve been very consistent in my triple jump around the 13.65m mark and with long jump I’m probably a bit below but it’s been around 6.40m or 6.50m. I was hoping I’d be performing a lot higher but I’m performing consistently which is good. I’m confident that I can come down to the track and pull out a 13.50m plus jump, I just need to push myself a little bit more.”

This weekend is looking a good one to be heading out. If you’re after some pannie snapper try Rabbit Island around the 8 metre mark. This seems to be where the pannies are, and go in closer if nothing is happening until you feel the paddle crabs grabbing your baits, then you know you’re in the right place. If you want bigger models head out to the deep around the 20 metres plus mark. The big boys are spawning now and will be gone soon. Longlines are the easiest way to get a horse mackerel but perseverance with a stray line will get them if you spend enough time trying. I’d recommend pilchards or whole salmon smelts with little or no weight. Use very light main line, 5kg-7kg with a 9kg leader, fluorocarbon. Gurnard are in abundance and Delaware Bay is the go to spot for them. Make sure you drift around with flashers or slow jigs, gurnard love attacking a moving target. There are still large schools of kahawai in the bay which are easy to target with spinning lures. A few rat kingfish have been caught and the odd big one has been seen by divers, so now is a good time to

get that kingi gear sorted out and give it a nudge. The smaller kingfish are now arriving also along the Boulder Bank and spat farm so target them in the morning on an incoming tide with Rapala X-Rap 30 lures and you will have the best chance. Not much to report on D’urville Island and Stephens Passage apart from good sized coutta to be taken, help yourselves to them, they are in good numbers and easy to hook up. Expensive jigs are normally the best, they are magnets to them. French Pass is still very slow with all the fish up around Nelson at the moment. Inner sounds are finally starting to get some fish in there but has been very slow and you will be best to fish later at night or early in the morning until everyone goes back home. Again the pillies are the way to go on stray lines and heaps of salmon burley. Kenepuru has had reports of a number of fish being caught and some of those have been big double digit fish. Remember photos last longer than fish so only take enough for a feed and put some of the big ones back for your grandkids.

Getting from A B Getting from A to B is an important part of our day to day life, whether you travel for business, pleasure, necessity or leisure. We are always on the move and always finding new ways to get from here to there. So this week Nelson Weekly celebrates the best people and products to help you get moving, with this special feature on getting from A to B. The Weekly spoke with local businesses that specialise in helping us get around and about, or servicing the things that do. When it comes to getting from A to B, Access Mobility make it easy. If maintaining your independence is important to you then it is important to the team at Access Mobility too, so from indoors and out, they have the mobility solution for you. Whether you need a walking cane, a pair of crutches or the stability of a walker to get moving, whatever your requirements are, Access Mobility have a wide range of equipment from the world's best brands to choose from. They have a variety of wheelchairs, walkers, Powerchairs to help you move about your home, and a wide variety of mobility scooters that are transportable across any

terrain, from short distance through to long distance travel. They also stock a range of folding walking sticks, canes and crutches with comfortable handles. Access Mobility is also an authorised equipment repairer, so you can see the team for parts and servicing both onsite and off, with the convenience of a pick-up and drop-off service. Access Mobility are the one stop shop for mobility products that will enhance your lifestyle and keep you moving. Talk to the team at the Access Mobility showroom on the corner of McGlashen Ave and Croucher St in Richmond. The opportunity to drive Bowater Honda's 2013 2.4N Sport CRV to Golden Bay was perfect - including sealed & gravel roads, the steep Takaka hill plus several long straights. As a woman used to smaller around town cars, I found the CRV not nearly as big to drive as it looked - driver comfort was fantastic, from heated leather seats, to auto-sensor lights & wipers to the independently climate controlled air-conditioning for both front seat passengers to the accommodating coffee cupholders! Knowing there were multiple airbags, superior braking & stability control systems & the reassuring reversing

camera display gave confidence & a sense of safety. Easy foldable back seats (great when balancing shopping or children), plus a walk-through back seat floor make the CRV ideal for family. I found the road handling very impressive, easily cornering on the open roads & going exactly where pointed. I felt the 2.4L had enough get up & go when required & was so easy to get in / out of, with a full 3 year unlimited kms warranty... I'm happy & would fully recommend! Tyres and More, the name says it all. From bumper to bumper Adrian and the team will look after you and your car. Getting ready for summer and keeping you and your family safe while out on the road starts with quality tyres, with the right tread that will go the distance. Tyres and More have a great range of quality tyres to suit any budget and you’ll come away knowing your car has safe tyres that have been professionally fitted and balanced. Adrian and the team pride themselves on doing the best job for the best price. They’ll always run any work required past you first, so there’s no surprises about what your car needs, just the best options at a reasonable price. For tyres, alloy

Powerlifters take on world

Power Angels Celia McMillan and Aimee Hayes are amped and ready for their first ever international competition. The two Richmond women have been competing in powerlifting for 16 years between them and this week’s Commonwealth Powerlifting Championship at the Vodafone Manukau Events Centre is easily their biggest with 500 competitors taking part from across the globe. Powerlifting is a strength-based sport that consists of three attempts at maximal weight on three lifts: squat, bench press and deadlift. Because there are just three attempts, competitors strategize which weight to enter in, in order to be competitive and to be successful in all nine attempts. Both Celia, who is in the under 52kg weight class, and Aimee, who is in the under 63kg weight class, will be competing in the three lift section, where the winner will be the person with the highest combined total. Celia says she was “fairly even” across all three disciplines but probably favoured her benchpress. Her personal bests are; squat 140kg, benchpress 93kg and deadlift 140kg, while

Aimee’s are; squat 152.5kg, benchpress 77.5 kg and deadlift 152.5kg. Aimee says there will be plenty of strategizing to see what her opponents are lifting. “They might be chasing you or you might be chasing them so you need to take that into consideration,” she says. Each competitor had to post their nationals total so everyone was well aware of who the top lifters are. But even knowing what her opponents are capable of, Celia kept quiet of her own aspirations. “We’re humble and we don’t want to count out chickens before they hatch. Every competition your goal should be to PB, even if that’s by 2.5kg, it’s still a PB. At least personal bests, but who knows on the day.” Aimee and Celia say they have worked really hard to be selected and are excited to be representing New Zealand at this event, and are supported by sponsors Accessman, Health 2000, Fusion Fertilizer, Evolve Gym and Fresh Choice Richmond. The Commonwealth Powerlifting Championship also doubled as the Oceania Championship and runs from December 4 until December 8.

Tahunanui hosts beach volleyball

A Christchurch-Timaru duo came to Tahunanui Beach and took the top honours in the Pines Beach Volleyball Classic on Sunday afternoon. Pair Jesse Kempf and Rory Josayma proved too good for Nelson duo James Anderson and Harry Fergusson winning two sets to zip. In the women’s division, an all Richmond final went the way of Hannah Davenhill and Katie Ditzel, who again won in straight sets, over Gloria O’Connor and Anika Paton. The scores were 21-16 and 21-17 in that match. This weekend will see the King and Queen of the Pines at Tahunanui Beach on Saturday.

Waimea set to go for adventure challenge pect,” Jane says. “We’ve been to the last three finals so now we know what it is all about which means our training is a lot smarter.” Two of the team, Anna Batty and Elsie Brownlie, competed in last year’s final and Jane says that will be a big asset to the team. They have also been receiving coaching from the college’s senior adventure racing students who competed in this year’s Hillary Challenge final. “They have done a lot of running and map reading and group initiatives with the Hillary Challenge team which has helped them a lot. It’s great to see the seniors helping the younger ones out,” Jane says. Although Waimea easily won their regional qualifying event at Rabbit Island in September, Jane says the national final will be a big step up.

Waimea College is getting ready to go all out at the country’s top adventure challenge for year 9 and 10 students when they head to Great Barrier Island this Sunday. Waimea’s four girls and four boys will be one of 12 teams to compete in the national Get2Go final at the Sir Edmund Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre from December 8 to 13. And after finishing third at last year’s national final and second the year before, Waimea is hoping to continue its excellent record at the event. Teacher and team mentor Jane Orbell says the team is ready for the challenges which include rock climbing, orienteering, kayaking, mountain biking and a series of problem solving tests. “They are doing very, very well and part of that is knowing what to ex-

Some of the regional finals had up to 20 teams competing and the standard at the final will be exceptionally high. Jane says the team has also received a lot of support from the school’s outdoor education department and sponsorship from the district’s businesses including Fresh Choice Richmond and JS Ewers Ltd. The final starts with two days of 12 one-hour problem solving activities where Jane says “using the team’s strength’s will be critical”. That will be followed by a two-day land and sea expedition and then finish with an adventure race on the final day. The Waimea team is: Elsie Brownlie, Anna Batty, Jaimie Prestidge, Tyler Hall, Theo Smith, Harry Talbot, Brooke Matheson and Gregor Wilson.

Kim Ponga of the Tele Tubbies competes at the final night of the Nelson Pine Industries Business House Golf Croquet tournament. Kim, who works at Oakwoods Retirement Village, was partnered with Ry Gillbanks-Hetaraka, and the pair took out the competition. Fourteen teams of two took part in the five week tournament, with the overall winner being the team with the most hoops throughout its duration.

The best thing about offering the McGlashen Pharmacy Young Achiever Scholarship, according to the pharmacy’s owner Andrew McGlashen, is looking through the applications and reading about all the great things the region’s youth are doing. The worst thing is trying to select a winner from so many high quality applicants. But this year, at least, Andrew says it was made a little bit easier because the recipient, Sam McKenzie, was a standout. The 14-year-old Waimea College student was last Friday named as the winner of the annual scholarship which is worth $1000. There were 26 applicants for the scholarship which is presented to a person aged 16 or under in the NelsonTasman region who is excelling in their chosen field. “The standard is usually very high which makes it difficult to choose a winner,” Andrew says. “I read through all the applications and replied to them all individually and I was really encouraged to see so many kids around the region doing amazing things. “But his year Sam stood out. He is an outstanding young person and we’re delighted to be able to help

He is presently training for the Australian age group championships in Sydney and New Zealand age group champs in Wellington, both in April. Sam says he was surprised and thrilled to win the scholarship which he will use to help pay for travel to swim meets around the country. “I didn’t think that I’d win it,” Sam says. “It’s amazing and it will definitely help me get to Australia in April.” Andrew says he decided to fund the scholarship, which is in its fifth year, because he wanted to support the region’s young achievers. “We’d get two or three requests for sponsorship every week and I wanted to give something back to the community that was going to make a big difference to someone,” he says.
