Bring on the Crusaders

The Crusaders are in town this Friday to play the Highlanders at Sportspark Motueka and people around the region are getting pretty excited.

The Salton family, pictured, say they’re all going to the game and will be proudly wearing the red and black of the Crusaders – a team they’ve supported since its

inception. “When Jade Stadium was there we used to go every year,” says Jeremy Salton. “It’s a festival, a build up to the rest of the season, it’s important to get them into the area and it’s a real coup to have them here.”

Drag racer flips at 200km/h Ben Irwin of NZ Herald

A man who crashed his drag racer at 200km/h - flipping at least four times says he's "sweet", despite bending the steel steering-wheel column with his chest on impact.

Avon Compton was resting at his Nelson home yesterday after crashing his "one-

off " drag racer during the NDRA southern drag racing nationals at Motueka Airport on Saturday.

The 56-year-old digger driver was doing a "by-run" at the time, which meant he was alone on the track and not actually racing.

"Because I had a by-run, I could really wind the boost up and sit on the start line and really give it death," Avon says.

"It was really going well, [I was doing] massive burn-outs - probably the best ones I've ever done - so we knew the car had a lot of power in it," he says.

"So we took off, right up in the rev-range, whacked it into second and it just started drifting slightly towards the grass."

Avon suspects that one of the tyres may have swollen in the sun, causing the car to

peel off to the right.

He tried to pull back but by then it was too late. The front of the car dug into the grass verge, flipping "at least three or four times" - the dust cloud was so big it was impossible to tell how many times it actually flipped.

“Personally I just like it as a day off. It’s nice to just able to go to the beach or the river.”

“I think people are just happy to have a day off. They’ll always find something to do.”

Drag car flips at 200km/h FROM PAGE 1 “I went over the first time and that was quite gentle, then halfway through the second one I probably blacked out.”

Avon’s chest hit the steering wheel on impact, causing the half-inch steel steering rod to bend out of place. “[It hurt] a little bit, but I’m a tough character.”

His only other injuries were heavy bruising from the seatbelt, a banged-up knee and a sore head from hitting the roll bar when the car flipped.

Avon was thankful for the car’s safety features.

“The car stood up really well. The roll cage did what it was supposed to do.”

The “one-off ” car - which he said had cost about $50,000 to build was written off.

A 12-year veteran of the sport, Avon says the crash would most likely mark the end of his drag racing career.

But the rollover wasn’t his biggest crash. As a youngster, Avon was in hospital for close to six months after the car he was in crashed into a power pole.

NZ’s deepest cave found near Nelson

WEDNESDAY 5 February 2014

Andrew Board Editor

New Zealand’s deepest known cave has been discovered near Nelson, but it’s fallen just short of being the deepest in the Southern Hemisphere.

A team of four cavers made the connection between the Nettlebed and Stormy Pot caves on Mount Arthur last week, confirming it was one cave and at a total depth of 1200 metres.

But it falls just short of 1264 metre deep Meruc Cave in Papua New Guinea.

Team leader Kieran McKay says the discovery was only a matter of time. “We found Stormy Pot in January 2011 and within a few months we’d explored 10km of the cave and when we put that map on the same map as the Nettlebed system we realised that the caves were actually the same so we just had to find a way through the rocks.”

On the last day of their five day exploration, the team found a small chamber with a small crack that had a draught pouring from it.

Kieran worked away trying to clear the rock and make the hole big enough to crawl

Kieran says the find is hugely significant.

“It’s the top, it’s incredibly significant, the only other big thing is to find a cave that’s over 100km long and that will come soon too. We are very excited, it’s been a long time coming and it’s a dream come true really.”

The four man team also included Gavin Holden, Jonathan Ravens and Nelson’s Bruce

Mutton. Bruce says there was a big cheer when the discovery was made. “It’s one of the things that cavers strive to do, connect the dots between the caves at the top of the mountain with the caves at the bottom of the mountain.

“It’s great to solve another piece of the puzzle really. There was a bit of a cheer and we all squeezed through the connecting hole and we all had a brew of coffee and chocolate.”

The region is also home to New Zealand’s longest cave, Bulmer Cavern on Mt Owen, south west of Nelson.

When Paul Dayman went fishing on the Motueka River last week he was hoping to catch a wild trout – instead he ended up with a wild pig.

Paul and his partner Marion Whyte, both of Tahunanui, were enjoying a peaceful day fishing on the river under blazing sunshine and with the sound of birds all around.

Then, while standing on the side of the river with their fishing rods, a 35kg wild boar came barrelling down from the bushes, swam across the river and charged Paul. He says he wasn’t quite sure what to think other than “that’s unusual, wild pigs don’t do that”.

Within a minute the boar had charged at Paul three times, each occasion its tusks ripping his flesh but he managed to stay on his feet. “I thought after the first charge he would just carry on but he didn’t, he kept coming back and I thought, ‘well that was a bit anti-social’.”

After three hits on Paul the boar focussed on Marion who was about five metres

on his arm but Paul’s mind was elsewhere. “We wanted a trout but we’ve got a pig here, I didn’t want to just leave it.

But we wouldn’t have been able to get the van down so we went down the road where a friend Steve has a farm and told his son to go down and grab the pig.”

On Friday night, less than a week after the incident, Paul and Marion travelled back to the Motueka Valley to have barbequed pork with Steve and his family. “I’m glad he didn’t burn the bugger,” he jokes. “But I do feel sorry for the pig, one of the back legs had evidence of dog bites so I’m assuming that it was bailed up and somehow got away.

“He must have had a pretty hell morning already and then to get taken out by some 57 year-old in jandals isn’t the best way to go.”

Paul says he’d like to know the first part of the story and if anyone lost a jet-black 35kg boar with very visible tusks near where the Baton River joins the Motueka River. “I’m interested to know how all this actually started and how far he’d come from.”

Kids go back to school “Mind that child”, because it’s back to school for most kids around Nelson this week.

Students at some primary schools, including Brightwater School, went back last week while others will start the school year next week.

The new term means school crossings are back in action and students will be cycling and walking to and from school, so police are urging motorists to keep an eye out for kids when they are behind

the wheel. Police road policing services team leader senior sergeant Grant Andrews says police will be doing everything possible to ensure children remained safe heading back to school and will begin a high visibility operation to monitor speed around schools.

He also reminded drivers of the 4km tolerance around schools and the 20km limit when passing a school bus picking up or dropping off

children.

Brightwater School principal Gerald Baldwin was thrilled to be back after the summer holidays, and says the decision to start school a week earlier than most others in the Waimea area was to ease students back during the public holidays.

“Yeah it’s really good to be back and to have kids back in the classrooms” Gerald says.

“We’re looking forward to a really successful year.”

Fresh Hellers NZ Pork Shoulder Roast

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz Broods’ much anticipated self-titled EP has gone to number one on iTunes just hours after its release.

The EP features six songs, including hit single “Bridges”, which is currently eighth on the New Zealand Singles Charts, has received airplay on radio stations across the globe, and has racked up nearly 500,000 plays on the band’s SoundCloud page. “Never Gonna Change”, their second single, is the opening track.

Previously unreleased songs include “Pretty Things”, “Sleep Baby Sleep”, “Taking You There”, and “Coattails”.

The EP was co-written and co-produced by Grammy winner Joel Little, who teamed up with Lorde for her platinum selling album Pure Heroine, which is bound to increase the band’s exposure internationally.

The Nelson duo, comprising of siblings Georgia and Caleb Nott who were both members of The Peasants, signed with Capitol Records in the United States and Polydor in the United Kingdom last year.

International media have been quick to make comparisons between Broods and Lorde, and have also praised the former Garin College students for their early singles.

“New Zealand brother-sister duo make, ahem, brooding synth-pop that makes sadness sound quite lovely,” said an article in the UK’s Guardian, while Billboard in the US asked whether they were “New Zealand’s next pop wonder”, and this week encouraged readers to check out their EP. “Looking for some gorgeous pop music to dive into and subsequently peddle to your friends this coming weekend? Look no further than Broods’ self-titled debut EP.” Broods are currently performing overseas for the first time, in Australia and will head to the United States for shows in Hollywood, San Francisco, Brooklyn and New York at the end of the month.

Their first full length album is expected to drop later this year, possibly in August.

Whales enjoying a Nelson summer too Shane Anderson has made a habit of “being in the right place at the right time”, particularly when it comes to orca whale sightings.

On Thursday he was out paddleboarding around Nelson Haven when he came across a pod of about “five or six” orcas. “One of them knocked into me. A baby calf knocked into me, it was quite curious and came over,” he says. “It was pretty exhilarating but quite scary at the same time, knowing that they’re very big.”

Shane was out training along with fellow paddleboarder Rachel Pike when the pair’s “calculated guess” resulted in an hour alongside the whales, which generally come into the Nelson Haven to feed on stingrays at this time of the

year. “I knew they feed in the morning and typically go into the Atawhai Haven and then onto the Boulderbank. We followed them from where the baches are on the Boulderbank back towards Port Nelson when all the boats turned up.

They came right across Rocks Rd and by the Back Beach.”

It was about this time last year that the owner of Kitesurf Nelson managed to take a “selfie” out on the water with a pod of orca. There had been numerous other sightings of the orca pod throughout the week around Nelson and Cable Bay, and Trish Grant of the Department of Conservation says it’s certainly not uncommon at this time of the year. “It’s to do with the time of the year and that they’re feeding on eagle rays,” she says.

Shoplifting down There has been a spike in visitors, shoppers and spending, but shoplifting hasn’t followed suit this summer.

Community constable Glyn Cunningham says, with just a few reports of shoplifting during the months of December and January, it was relatively “low” or “stable”. “There hasn’t been anything of significance,” he says. “From December 25 until January 5 there were four shoplifting offences reported from Pak’n’Save and one other store but that was it really. At the moment it’s certainly not a problem. There’s an influx of tourists but Richmond hasn’t experienced a spike in shoplifting in the last year or so.”

The most commonly stolen items were food and drink from the supermarkets, including meat and alcohol.

“In the past people were known to take trolley

loads out without paying but that’s pretty rare these days. The systems in place are good and you’ll get caught.”

Richmond retailers had improved their security systems, Glyn says, which has helped deter shoplifting. “There’s quite a big risk in getting caught and that’s what we’re finding.”

One example was Richmond Mall’s policy of trespassing anyone caught shoplifting from their premises. “Everyone we have dealt with over the past year who was shoplifting there, say at Pak’n’Save, then they’re trespassed from the whole Richmond Mall for the next two years.”

Glyn believes that tougher approach was a good idea. “Once again you have to suffer the consequences of your actions and if you’re commiting an offence in one shop you’ll be banned from the whole complex.”

Charity Mini has new owner The Renovators The Wakefield caffeine crew’s Morris Mini will be heading out of town after Levin man Trevor Jeffries won their raffle on Thursday.

Trevor bought the ticket at the Saturday Market when in town over summer, and while Bob Croy – one of the four men behind the restoration project – says it’s a shame the car will be going out of town, he acknowledged the recipient was very grateful. “I’ve been in touch with him. He just couldn’t believe it,” says Bob. “It was a

bit disappointing it going away from Nelson though. He was down for the Nelson Jazz Festival and bought it at the market.”

Bob and his three mates John Bruce, Dal Stewart and Martin Reid have spent the past two years restoring the Morris Mini Mk 3 before raffling it off for charity.

Bowater Motor Group and a bunch of other local businesses came on board to donate parts and their services.

At $10 a ticket, the caffeine crew managed to sell nearly 10,000 of them, which

means close to $100,000 will be heading to the Nelson Cancer Society.

The raffle winner was announced on Thursday following a draw at the Wakefield Police Station.

Also drawn were the winners of three other major prizes, they were; Joan Wright, winner of $18,000 worth of House of Travel vouchers; Debbie Smith, winner of a weekend stay at Awaroa Lodge; and Lavinia Livingston, winner of a Hanmer Springs pamper pack.

4500 head to Sarau Festival

It’s not all blackcurrants, more an event that showcases the best of the Moutere, and once again, event-goers at the Sarau Festival turned up in their droves, and spent a lot of money, enjoying a true community festival.

Anna Tranter lives in Upper Moutere and believes Sarau Festival showcases the area perfectly. “There are just so many different activities and everyone gets into the community spirit together,” she says.

“There’s a real country atmosphere,” Brightwater man David Rodgers says at the festival, drinking a local craft beer.

“I knew the Totara Brewing Company would be here and that’s where I’ve been.”

“Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves,” says Judith Rodgers. “The weather is perfect.”

Jenny Leith, coordinator of the event says really is a community festival, with the “it went really well, everybody really en- community running it.”

She says they also appreciate the “fanjoyed it”.

“A highlight for me is always the way the tastic support” they receive from people community step up and the huge amount outside their community who attend the of voluntary effort that goes into it. It event.

Locals tackle scooter challenge The drive between Westport and Greymouth usually only takes 90 minutes but a group of 12 intrepid scooter riders turned it into a fourday expedition as they completed the fourth Survivor Scooter Challenge.

Survivor Scooter is a charity ride that incorporates some of the South Island’s roughest off-road routes as well as a series of challenges for the scooter riders.

This year the riders left Westport on January 22 and ended up in Greymouth four days later after detouring through the Denniston Plateau, Mackley River, Waipuna Caves and Lake Brunner.

“It’s the fourth challenge we have had

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz and it was by far the hardest,” organiser Jason Monopoli says. “This year we had a hard track to ride every day - there were no easy days on the road.”

Jason says the riders and support crew had to use all of their “MacGyver skills just to negotiate the tracks and keep the 50cc scooters on the road.

He says it was a challenge but all 12 riders completed the journey safely on their original scooters.

“The first big challenge was rigging

up a flying fox using the winches on the four-wheel-drive support vehicles to get the scooters across the Mackley River.

It was hard going up Big River too - it was pretty wet so we had to repair a few drowned and damaged scooters.

“It’s not really a ride for scooter enthusiasts, It’s more of a ride for likeminded adventurers really,” Jason says.

He says visiting the Waipuna Caves was one of the highlights of the journey although riders also enjoyed the scooter-cross race and jousting competition. The winning teams of those competitions received prizes from sponsors who helped the Challenge raise $6000 for the Nelson Ark. Although Jason had intended making the fourth Survivor Scooter Challenge the last, he says the riders made it clear they wanted another one next year. “I wasn’t that keen to organise another one so I thought if I made this one really hard it would put everyone off. But it didn’t work, the riders had so much fun they are already pressuring me to have another one.”

Jason says the journey was filmed by the four-wheel drive support crew and will be screened later in the year with all welcome to attend. Email Jason at jason@orangedog.co.nz for details.

The DVD set of the journey will also be available for a $10 donation.

Organiser Jason Monopoli ferries his scooter across the Mackley River on a MacGyver-style flying fox during the Survivor Scooter ride from Westport to Greymouth. In the background, and manning the ropes, is Richmond’s own Bear Grylls, Neil Albury of PC Systems.

‘DIY’ funerals on the rise in Nelson

9

Entries blossom for flower show The Brightwater Horticultural Society Summer show held over the weekend was a huge success, with more than one hundred extra entries on last year’s event.

The two day show attracted 360 entries, despite the high winds prior to the event that had organisers, including Pamela Sirett, pictured right, wondering about numbers.

The champion Gladiolus went to Mark Papp who took out the prize with his ‘Rosealina’. The Dahlia bloom was won by Arch Crerar for his ‘Taratahi Ruby’.

Andrew Board

A Nelson man says more people are opting for a “DIY funeral” to farewell their loved ones, but admits it’s hardly a popular choice.

In fact only seven “private” cremations took place at the Nelson City Council-owned facility at the Wakapuaka Cemetery last year, with the massive majority of the region’s funerals involving the region’s two biggest funeral homes, Marsden House and Shone and Shirley.

Nelson’s Paul Briggs offers information on how people can do their own DIY funeral or have control over the process when a funeral director is involved. Paul says he’s helped several friends with low cost funerals and says there was a bit of ground work to find out how it could be done, information he’s now willing to offer to others for free.

That includes what paper work needs to be filled in, how to arrange a cremation at the Nelson City Council-owned facility at the Wakapuaka Cemetery and how to access cheaper coffins. He says it can be done for less than $900, without compromising a meaningful “send-off ”.

WEDNESDAY 5 February 2014

Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Over the past year he’s had around 50 people call him to ask for details about funeral options.

Francis Day, of Marsden Funeral Homes, says choice is a good thing but factors like health and safety as well as the psychological stress makes the reality of a DIY funeral unlikely for most.

“Talking about things in theory is one thing,” says Francis. “Putting them into practice might well be another. If the issue is around cost, then the potential cost of a disabling psychological effect to family members really should be taken into account.

“Apart from providing emotional support and guidance, funeral directors are trained to deal with things that most people wouldn’t even consider,” he says.

Nelson City Council says 211 cremations were done at the council facility last year, but just seven were private with the rest from commercial operators. Marsden House owns its own crematorium at Gardens of the World in Hope.

Just a thought...

The Rainbow Ride bike ride is coming up soon – some people from our church will be among lots of others riding their pushbikes from St Arnaud through to Hanmer Springs. It’s a hard ride but the views and country side are tremendous – worthy of many photographs. Last week my wife and I rode our motorbike through the Rainbow and we decided to not take a camera. Instead we wanted to take in the scenery at the time and not try to save a digital memory for later – we wanted to be in the now.

Last year I rode a Postie Bike from Hobart to Alice Springs. I stopped many times taking many photos, often looking for good photo opportunities instead of just taking it in. Conversely, there were times where I didn’t get the camera out and months later

Checking land covenants prior to purchasing Often I hear buyers say, “This property will work for us and there is room to park our motor home down the side of the house, we may try and buy this one.” Now that’s a warning sign to me that we should make sure that the land covenants do not exclude offstreet parking of boats, caravans or motor homes. Some are very specific about this, while other covenants state that all caravans and motor homes must be parked at the back of the property, or all caravans and motor homes must be screened from the street by hedges or fences.

Richard’s clinker restored and ready for boat show Every time retired boat builder Richard Winn puts his 1960s clinker dinghy into the water he takes a sail down memory lane.

Richard, who is taking his 16-foot restored clinker “Ripples” to this weekend’s New Zealand Antique and Classic Boat Show at Lake Rotoiti, used to sail clinkers when he was young. So when he saw the run-down clinker lying in a boat builders yard in Picton in 2005 he couldn’t resist the urge to take it home and restore it to its former glory.

“We used to play around in clinkers when I was a kid. They were good fun,” he says.

“They stopped building them after that but as the years go by you get to appreciate the time it takes to build them. So when I saw it in a run-down state at Waikawa I decided to buy it and restore it.”

Richard says the boat was originally built in the early 1960s by an apprentice boat builder working at Jorgensens Boat Yard in Waikawa Bay. It was constructed using a variety of native timber which Richard has spent four years restoring. “It was falling apart so I stripped all the paint and gutted the inside and laid a new deck. I used macrocarpa but it’s still got the original kahikatea hull.

“It took me heaps of time and money to restore the boat but that doesn’t come into it. It’s something you do because you are passionate about it.”

Richard says he is a member of the Picton Clinker and Classic Boat Club and regularly takes the boat out sailing. He named the boat Ripples because it cruises at about five or six knots and cuts through the water so smoothly that it barely creates a wake.

Richard will join about 80 other boat enthusiasts

Senior reporter Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz who are taking their antique and classic vessels to Lake Rotoiti for this weekend’s show.

“There will be the usual range of boats including cedar kayaks, jet boats from the 60s, clunky clinkers and veteran wooden yachts,” show coordinator Pete Rainey says.

Another attraction this year is the new Nelson Lakes Classic Boat Museum, alongside the Clinker Café and gift shop complex at the St Arnaud village. It will be open with boating displays all weekend.

The NZ Antique and Classic Boat Show is now in its 16th year, and continues to grow in the number and quality of craft presented, as well as the number of people coming to view the boats and the action.

Judging will take place on Saturday, ahead of an evening awards ceremony at the Alpine Lodge.

At stake is the Jens Hansen Trophy where the judges are after good looks as well as history, construction and a boat with a story to tell. Other awards include prizes for best new restoration, best steamboat, best jet-propelled craft and best themed display. Races will be held for yachts, row boats, seagull motored dinghies, poppers, canoes, child rowers and swimmers.

The show will be held at Kerr Bay between 9am and 7pm this Saturday and Sunday with admission $15 for adults for the day or $20 for the weekend with school children free. Tickets from gate sales only. No dogs allowed.

Garden fair a great success

Without accounting for expenses, the organiser of Richmond Playcentre’s Washbourn Gardens Fair says about $1700 was raised from Monday’s event.

Last year the fair had to be postponed due to wet weather but there were no such dramas in 2014 with a glorious summer’s day greeting event-goers on Nelson Anniversary Day. About 80 stall holders set up in Washbourn Gardens, with a range of crafts, books, food, and other items all on sale, which Wendy Barrett, pictured right, checked out.

World’s best gearboxes made in Tahuna

The smell of metal and grease hits your senses before the wonder of five massive machines stuffed into Bruce Verdon’s tiny Tahunanui workshop takes over.

Bruce leased the workshop after arriving in Nelson eight years ago. His plan was to run a machine work shop similar to what he had in his homeland of South Africa, but with no contacts and no reputation there was also no work.

So he decided to branch out, do something different and as a result Bruce is known around the world for making the best high performance racing gearboxes.

His company TT Industries has now sold more than 600 gearboxes around the world, mainly in classic racing motorbikes and racing cars. Bruce says he hasn’t even thought about developing key markets because demand is keeping his five staff pretty busy already. “We don’t want everyone to know about it at the same time.

We’re trying to keep it quiet at this stage but the United States will be a big market for us, no one there does what we do,” says Bruce.

His gearboxes have won titles all

over the world, including New Zealand, Australia and Europe, and are used in every New Zealand V8 Racing car. They are also used by World 500cc Grand Prix champion Kevin Schwantz and his expertise got him invited to race in the famed Isle of Mann motorbike race last year.

It all started when Bruce was left struggling for work. He designed a gearbox for classic motorbikes and when it was finished took it to a race in Australia to show the owners of the bikes his design.

“I borrowed a table and made some pamphlets and the people just said ‘wow, this is want we want, where have you been all our lives? Here’s the money, when can I have one?’”

Within three months he had 30 orders, each for around $5000.

He took that to the bank and was able to secure a loan to buy the equipment needed and started producing two a month until he took on more staff. Since then demand has exploded and Bruce travels to races in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Europe to drum up business, but it’s hardly needed. Word of mouth means

Bruce says he saw a limited market in the classic motorbikes so developed a sequential gearbox for cars, instead of the standard “H-box”.

That was even more popular than the motorbike gearbox, so more staff were employed and more machines bought.

The gearboxes are used in cars for circuit racing, drifting and even in speedway cars.

He says at a recent test at Hampden Downs the gearbox shaved two seconds off the lap time of a race car.

And there’s more to come.

Bruce says when the business moves into a purpose-built building in Echodale Pl he will be able to build more gearboxes and expand even further.

“Soon we’ll have a gearbox for cars with more than 1000 horsepower and many of our designs

are unique to us and the reports we get back from clients are good.

I can walk down the pits and no one looks at me with daggers in their eyes, let’s put it that way.”

He says the future is bright for his company and although busy, and spending most of his weekends out of town at various race meetings – he’s been to four already this year – he’s thrilled.

“It’s really good, yeah, really good.

I’m happy and proud.”

Athletics Richmond president Jason Stack says a decision to shut athletes out of Saxton Oval 21 days before and 10 days after the Cricket World Cup is “ridiculous”. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

World Cup could ruin track season Next year’s track and field season could be “ruined” if athletes are not able to use Saxton Oval during the ICC Cricket World Cup. A requirement of the Cricket World Cup contract with Nelson City Council gives them exclusive use of the cricket oval, athletics track, pavilion and the infield of the track from 21 days prior to the first match and ten days after the last one – which has left Athletics Nelson and Athletics Richmond wondering whether they will be locked out from January 26 until March 15 – the peak of the athletics season.

Athletics Nelson running coach Greg Lautenslager, who acknowledges the importance of the Cricket World Cup to Nelson, hopes some sort of compromise can be made on days outside of the three matches.

“There’s no doubt about it, the World Cup will be a great thing for Nelson and it’s wonderful that it’s here but we have one track in town and if you take that away during the heart of our season you’re basically ruining the sport,” he says. “Without the track you don’t have the sport so a compromise needs to be made.”

Saxton Oval was last year granted three ICC Cricket World Cup games for 2015, including West Indies versus Ireland on

Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

February 16, Zimbabwe versus Scotland on February 19, and Bangladesh versus United Arab Emirates on March 5.

NCC communications manager Angela Ricker says they have made contact with Athletic Nelson, advised them on the situation and signalled a willingness to work together positively to help find alternative options.

“The decision is final as part of the commitment to host CWC matches. Any possible alternative venues for athletics are yet to be decided,” she says.

Athletics Richmond president Jason Stack had not heard from council when he was phoned

by Waimea Weekly. Richmond Athletics, which focuses mainly on junior athletics, could lose its third term. “We haven’t been notified of any of this,” he says.

“It’s also ten days after they don’t want us to use the track, which is ridiculous. We’ve been treated pretty unfairly really.”

It’s unknown whether moving athletics competitions back to a grass field is a realistic option, even though Trafalgar Park was used prior to the construction of Saxton Oval. “The average public can jog around but doing sprint work, the throwers, the jumpers, they need the

track. The biggest hit will be the meets. If we don’t have them we don’t have a season,” says Greg.

Each club pays a fee to use the track, depending on how many athletes they have registered.

Greg was dumbfounded as to why athletics clubs would be shut out for nearly 50 days when there will only be matches on three of those. “We understand how big the Cricket World Cup is, but we don’t understand why it’ll be taking that whole time. You’re not even going to play cricket on the track, it’s next door.”

The athletics season generally runs from October until March, with athletes peaking for the New Zealand Track and Field Championship at the end of March each year. Locally, Twilight Series meets, junior competitions, the Tasman Secondary School Championship, and a Tasman/Canterbury Championship could all be jeopardized under the current contract agreement, and Jason fears the sport could lose athletes. “We don’t want to resort going back a grass track when we have this million dollar track here. It’s all up in the air. I just can’t see why we can’t use the track on the days there aren’t games.”

Representatives from the two athletics clubs had planned to meet last night in order to find a solution.

Shane Christie doesn’t mind being the underdog so he’s felt at home since moving down to the Highlanders.

While Tasman won the ITM Cup Championship this year with Shane as captain, they have been underdogs every prior season, and a promotion to the Premiership is likely to see Tasman don that tag again.

And it appears the same at the Highlanders where the 28 year old will play his Super Rugby for the next two years, the same length of time he has remaining on his ITM Cup contract.

The Highlanders – who have lost a long list of past All Blacks – have been written off again after a disastrous campaign last year. But that suits Shane to a tee. “I don’t mind being an underdog, I’ve done it here with Tasman for a long time so I enjoy it,” he says. “There’s always pressure but at the end of the day we are focussed on getting the most out of our team.”

America late last year, which has ruled him out of the preseason game against the Crusaders in Motueka this Friday.

“Hopefully, if things go well I’ll get the last pre-season game. It would have been cool to play in front of the local crowd but it’s alright, my priority is for the season.”

Shane, who plays his club rugby for Nelson, was approached to join the Highlanders midway through the season last year.

At the time he was contracted to the Crusaders, but with Richie McCaw back from his sabbatical, he felt the opportunities further south would be more beneficial. “I was pretty keen to move though because I wasn’t going to get many opportunities with the Crusaders because I’d be the third string.”

In Dunedin, he will compete with incumbent openside flanker John Hardie for a starting spot.

Hop on a bike and give cycling a go!

There’s no such thing as a free lunch but on Go By Bike Day on February 12 there will be a free breakfast for anyone who gets on their bike and calls into one of the participating bike shops around Nelson and Tasman.

Go By Bike Day is a one-day event held every February when thousands of New Zealanders leave their cars in the garage and cycle to work or school. It is just one of the many activities planned for February’s Bike Wise Month

which is a national programme aimed at promoting cycling as a fun, healthy and safe way to travel.

Go By Bike Day is being organised by Nelson City and Tasman District councils in partnership with the New Zealand Transport Authority and the region’s cycle retailers. It will offer a free, healthy breakfast and spot prizes to cyclists riding

A series of easy bike rides, suitable for most ages, skills and fitness levels.

such fantastic places for cycling.

Not only do we have a great climate for cycling we have a growing network of off-road cycleways and cycle lanes to make cycling more enjoyable and safer. Eric says Nelson City Council cycling strategy has a vision that “cycling becomes a safe, convenient and commonplace way of getting around Nelson� and the numbers show that vision is being realised. “The 2013 census data shows 8.7 per cent of the Nelson workforce bikes to work compared to 2.9 per cent nationally and that Nelson has experienced stronger growth in cycling than the rest of New Zealand.�

Tasman District Council community recreation adviser, Mike Tasman-Jones says the Get Moving Big Bike Tune Ups are also being held in conjunction with Bike Wise activities. They will continue in February and March so cyclists can get their bikes back on the road in time for the Family Fun Rides around the region.

Mike says the Big Bike Tune Ups are a safety initiative designed to encourage new and past bike riders to get their unused bikes out of storage and head along to one of the fun rides. Bike mechanics will give the bike a quick maintenance check to make sure it is safe and road-worthy and fits the rider.

If a bike needs more than a tune up riders will be advised what’s required.

The free checks have already been held at three Skatepark Tour events and will also be held at Family Fun Rides at Motueka and Golden Bay in February and a family Bike, Beach and BBQ event at Rabbit Island Sunday 2 March. Mike says these rides will be easy and suitable for most ages, skills and fitness levels and will include spot prizes and givea7166 ways.

20th Birthday care services to residents and their families, Kensington Court is a true "home away from home". Manager Vanessa says that while the facility has grown in size over the years, the core values at the heart of its day to day running is why it remains such a special community fixture.

“Our core values of integrity and respect are solid foundations to the success of Kensington Court. It has such a homely, friendly atmosphere that you notice as soon as you walk through the doors.”

There is a total of 70 staff that care for a diverse range of residents at Kensington Court. The large team means they can accommodate for the rest home,

When it comes to care, Kensington Court is second to none. And after 20 years providing quality assisted living, the team and residents are celebrating.

You’ll find Kensington Court tucked away off the main road in Stoke. The well established, boutique retirement facility has serviced the community consistently since the doors were first opened in 1994.

From small beginnings as an empty paddock in 1992, Kensington Court has flourished into the purpose built rest home, retirement village and hospital facility it is today. Its success was celebrated with a community event over the weekend that was well attended by locals.

That culture of care was visible to the huge crowd that turned up to wish Kensington Court happy birthday on Saturday, when the team and residents hosted a garden party to honour its 20 years in business.

Residents and staff proudly played host to friends, family and community figures who all made a special effort to attend the festivities. The day was spent reminiscing and people key to the success of the rest home and retirement village addressed the crowd.

Original developer Brent Ennor spoke of the fond memories he had of the facility’s early days and says he wouldn’t have missed the birthday event for anything in the world.

Can the Tigers beat the unbeatable?

Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz It’s somewhat ironic that 2010, Year of the Tiger, was the last time the Nelson Tigers won teams racings’ greatest prize.

But while a panther doesn’t feature on the Chinese New Year Calendar, it has been Year of the Panther at the ENZED New Zealand Superstock Teams Champs ever since.

With two-time 1NZ Shane Penn leading the charge, the Panthers team boasts four other names well known to speedway fans: 3NZ Peter Bengston, Peter Rees, Scott Joblin and Scott Miers. In beating Manawatu Mustangs last year, which is really a Palmy B team, the Panthers notched their third successive win, and their seventh in eight years, continuing their strangle hold on superstock teams racing.

But the Tigers are heading to Palmerston North this weekend with renewed confidence that they can beat the unbeatable, despite having minimal preparation that has included a win against the Christchurch Glen Eagles in Nelson late last year followed by a loss to the Panthers a week later “When you’re on the track every car is the same,” says Nelson Tigers selector Daryl Peterson. “Their cars aren’t any better than ours, it will just come down to tactics on the night and if you get it right you can beat them.”

The Tigers, who finished third at the national champs last year, have selected regulars Jared Gray, Blair Cunningham, Shane Harwood, Dale Ewers and Dale McKenzie for the 2014 championship, while newcomer Ben Taylor will travel as the sixth driver.

Dale McKenzie, who lost his 2NZ title this year, might be out to prove a point at the teams champs, and comes into the Tigers having been unavailable earlier in the season. “He’s shown before that if you set him a task he will do it and he will do it well. I think there’s a big future for him in teams

Shane has been arguably the form Nelson superstock driver this year with his outof-town performances in particular. He finished fourth place at the New Zealand Superstock Championship and 11th at the World 240s just a week later.

But it’s a complete team performance that will be key to overturning the Panthers on their home track. “In the past we’ve had Jared and Blair as blockers but that could be different this year because they’ve proven their cars are just as fast. In fact we’ve got five cars that are all Toyotas and all as fast as each other, they’ll all capable of being in the top ten in New Zealand.”

With five years of teams racing under his

goes wrong we just change. Normally a few guys will block and there will just be one runner but that can all change in the first lap. But the hardest part is reading who is actually leading the race.”

The Nelson Tigers will travel across to the North Island on Thursday before the first night of racing on Friday at Robertson Holden International Speedway. Blair says the team was buzzing ahead of the championship and is always encouraged by the amount support that meets them in Palmerston North, with thousands of speedway fans expected, including a contingent of travelling Nelson fans. “We know we’ve got support and that helps a lot. It’d be a lot harder without it.”

belt, 24 year old Blair knows exactly how tough Palmerston can be on their home track. But he says you can’t go to the championship writing off the other teams either.

“They’re just as strong but they just haven’t had the luck,” he says. “But they have the ability to do it.”

The Baypark Busters, Hawke’s Bay Hawkeyes, Manawatu Mustangs, Rotorua Rebels and Great Britian Lions all possess teams capable of winning, he says. “They’re all strong teams, as even as each other but it all comes down to reliability, luck and getting some guys across the line.”

Blair believes Nelson’s versatility will be its strength, with drivers able to change their roles with ease mid-race. “If something

Wanderers primed for semis

Greenmeadows has had all the attention during the Car Company Twenty20 cricket competition but it’s a date at Saxton Oval that Wanderers and Waimea Toi Toi United will be looking to cement tomorrow.

A smart move by Nelson Cricket Association has seen most of the Twenty20 matches played at the same time on a Thursday night at Greenmeadows in order to create more of a festival atmosphere and bring the crowds that have generally been small at the best of times.

With two semi finals scheduled for tonight at 5:30pm, due to Waitangi Day, spectators will be in for plenty of entertainment as four teams chase a spot

in the final at Saxton Oval in a weeks time.

Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers will tackle Wakatu, who finished second in Pool B, and captain Dan Cooper is confident his side has what it takes to edge one step closer to the title. “Our batsmen have been scoring plenty of runs and the bowlers have been backing it up as as well, restricting runs and creating wickets,” he says.

While it might be do-or-die in the playoffs, Dan says topping the pool has certainly helped. “I think it’s quite good to finish top because it means we don’t have to play the top team. But overall things have been pretty good and there’s no reason why we can’t go

Top results on the track Athletics Richmond recently sent a team of 31 competitiors to the annual South Island Colgate Games in Timaru.

With approximately 900 other athletes participating, this event is widely regarded as the biggest junior meet in the South Island, catering for children aged between seven and 14 years old.

Richmond athletes won eight medals, including one gold. The sole gold medallist was 12 year old Izzy Neal who took out the girls 200m in 27.95 seconds. Bailey Cotton, 14, picked up three silver medals; shot put, 11.38m; discus, 34.72m; and 200m, 24.09 seconds. Adam Stack, 10, finished second in discus; 23.78m; and shot put; 9.31m.

The grade 10 medley relay team of Georgia Nicholls, Patrick Wilson, Marco Fon, Adam Stack and Peita Milne finished third to win the second bronze medal for Richmond Athletics, alongside Gregor Wilson’s effort in the 10 year old boys 80m hurdles.

Next year’s event will be in Dunedin.

all the way.”

Former New Zealand Under-19 allrounder Connor Neynens has been ruled out of the semi final, but other than that Wanderers will be at full strength.

Wanderers beat Motueka in their final pool match last Thursday evening, with Pete Cairey scoring 131 runs and Tom Cross reaching 57.

In the other semi final, Bar 321 WTTU will take on ACOB, having topped Pool A despite just edging Nelson College in their match last week. Blair Carpenter top scored with 28 not out while Mason Thelin was the next best on 24. Steve Binnie took four wickets for just 16 runs.

Top guns drawn to mountain bike cup The aptly named Top Gun drew the some of the country’s best mountainbikers to Nelson over the long weekend, and it was the biggest name of the lot that stole the show during the cross country.

Anton Cooper, a former junior world champion, was in town to build up some form ahead of his National Championship defence in two weeks time. The 19 year-old representing Woodend was the only elite men’s rider to go under the 1 hour 40 minute mark, with his time of 1h 37m 08sec beating Rotorua pair Dirk Peters and Carl Jones by some margin.

Nelson’s Ingrid Richter was the sole local elite rider to reach a podium spot, finishing second in the women’s race with a time of 1h 40m 48sec, behind Queenstown’s Kate Fluker.

The Top Gun competition, run

Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

by Nelson Mountain Biking Club, partnered up with the New Zealand Mountain Bike Cup as round two of the series. The event was designed to showcase the country’s top riders and the format allowed for downhill and cross country entrants to shine in their specialist discipline, before joining together for the combined Super D race which would decide who takes away the crown.

The competition was held over three days, starting with the downhill at Kaka Hill. Nelson’s Kieran Bennett, representing Christchurch, took out the elite men’s race in 3 minutes and 1 second. Reuben Olorenshaw was the next best Nelson rider, finishing in fourth place with a time of

3 minutes and 3 seconds.

Nelson pair Olivia Johnston and Amanda Pearce rounded out the elite women’s race in third and fourth respectively.

The Super D race was held on Monday at the Codgers MTB Park with Anton again taking victory, followed by Reuben Olorenshaw and Reuben Miller. The win in the Super D meant Anton had maximum points and took the coveted Top Gun title for 2014.

Meg Bichard of Nelson, competing in the women’s open grade, took the female Top Gun title with her first place in the downhill followed up by a second placing in the Super D. The 2014 event attracted big numbers with 112 riders taking on the Kaka Downhill and 95 the Codgers Cross Country.

Nayland pulls pin on Press Cup Traditional Waimea College rivals Nayland College will drop back into the local under-18 rugby competition, ending a forgettable three year stint in the Press Cup that saw the first XV win just won game.

That one win was over Waimea in 2011 but they never won again. Their losses had become more respectable in 2013, with close results, including an agonizing 15-10 defeat by Burnisde High School. But insufficient player numbers resulted in two defaults and the school finished the season with just one competition point next to their name.

Nayland principal Rex Smith says the decision to withdraw from the competition was made last year. “We felt like we were struggling to compete at that level and we felt like we didn’t have the depth of players that you need to have a successful campaign,” he says.

Tasman Rugby Union development officer Kahu Marfell says it was disappointing that Nayland’s Press Cup spell hadn’t been a successful one.

“They climbed into it and last year I thought they improved throughout the competition.

Once they got into the bottom section, they were competitive,” he says. “But it’s a sustainability thing. You need to have the players coming through and the depth.”

Kahu believed the cost of having a first XV in the Press Cup, where they were travelling out of town nearly every second week, would be near $60,000 – a huge expensive for a struggling team. “You’re looking at bus trips, accommodation, and food. It’s not cheap. When you’re looking at $60,000-$70,000, and a lot of it is self funded, it’s a lot of money to play Press Cup.” It is unsure whether another team will replace Nayland in the 2014 Press Cup.

Notice of Intention to Stop Unformed Legal Road Unformed Legal Road Between Clover Road West and The Wairoa River.

At the request of the adjacent landowner, the Council is seeking to apply to stop unformed (and un-named) legal road situated near Clover Road West.

A portion of the road to be stopped is recently claimed accretion to the legal road.

Accretion is when a gradual build up of land occurs due to the changing nature of a river (or other waterway). The other portion of the road proposed to be stopped is unformed road which used to run alongside the river channel.

The river channel has shifted, and the unformed road, and accretion to road, is now situated some distance from the physical river.

The proposal to stop the road is part of a complex exchange intended to provide continuous public access alongside where the river is now located. If the road is stopped, the land will be sold to the adjacent landowner, who will create esplanade strips in return, thus making provision for public access and the protection of riparian values.

The overall proposal also includes an exchange of marginal strip land administered under the Conservation Act 1987 by the Department of Conservation.

For plans of the portions of the road intended to be stopped, and plans of the overall proposal, and to make any other further enquiries, please contact Robert Cant at Tasman District Council – Email robert.cant@tasman.govt.nz, Ph. 03 543 8585. Plans may also be viewed at the Richmond Office of the Tasman District Council.

Objections on the proposed road stopping should be made in writing, to the address below, and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Wednesday 19 February 2014.
