Bridge a danger to cyclists Phillip Rollo

Questions are being raised over the width of the Appleby Bridge following a motorcycle accident last weekend.

It is believed the accident was caused when a cyclist was on the bridge and a motor vehicle behind it was unable to pass due to heavy traffic flow on the neighbouring

lane. When the driver realised they could not pass, the brakes were slammed on creating a domino effect which saw experienced motorcyclist Ray Robertson crash into the back of the car in front of him. He was then rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

Ray, who manages a local business, says he and the drivers in front of him had

dropped their speed from to just 70km/h before reaching the bridge. The sign indicating that there was a cyclist on the bridge was flashing. Next thing, the vehicle in front of him came to a complete halt with its rear wheels lifting off the ground. “I locked up really and I ended up sliding for the last metre or two and hit the rear wheel of the car in the front. I have pretty seri-

ous shoulder and knee injuries,” says Ray, speaking from Nelson Hospital. “I personally didn’t think the other vehicles were doing anything wrong. Somebody braked because they realised they couldn’t get past because there’s traffic coming the other way and the bridge is too narrow.”

Marg says the response from the public had been overwhelming, with the quintet able to raise $1000 more than what was first hoped. “A lot of people pledged but were waiting to see it happen. Even in the weekend I was seeing people give me cash,” she says. “It was fun. Everyone involved did it for the right reason.

“Absolutely. There are so many pedestrians, cyclists and young children, it’s just chaos. I think it should be 30km/h.”

“It depends if it’s in a rural area. There needs to be one rule otherwise it’s too hard for motorists but I’ll have to think about that one.”

“I wouldn’t oppose it. There’s enough accidents around the schools and lowering the speed wouldn’t be a problem.”

“Yeah I think they should.

Fair raises record tally This year’s Appleby School Country Fair has raised a record $41,000 profit.

The annual gala, which is always held on the first weekend of spring, was visited by thousands of people with some keen fairgoers arriving three hours early on Saturday.

It is yet to be decided what the $41,000 will go towards. However, in the past part of that money has funded an additional teacher at the school, allowing lower class ratios.

Board of trustees member Rachel Knowles was clearly pleased with the record turnout and fundraising tally.

“We would have parked 200 cars before the fair even started,” she says.

“There are so many parents, grandpar-

ents and people from the community that come along to help, bake cakes and man stalls. That community spirit is how we raise the money we do.”

The school’s fundraising committee, the Friends of Appleby School (FOAS) also attributes the fair’s success to the generous support of local businesses, who appreciate the promotional benefits of being associated with the popular fair.

One focus this year was ensuring activities for all age groups were provided. That was highlighted by some new additions for older children, such as a horizontal bungy. But the event still maintained its strong country themes with attractions such as the petting

zoo, pony rides, wood choppers and gumboot toss drawing plenty of attention. “Everything we do epitomises the country theme. From the activities and stalls, down to the hay bale seating and allowing the kids to climb all over the tractors,” says Rachel.

Principal Graham Avery calls the day a huge success. “Once again, we’ve had tremendous support from local businesses and sponsors. The whole school community has come together to put on a terrific day for our visitors,” he says.

Appleby School has a roll of 120 students. They come from approximately 75 different families, every one of whom contributed towards the fair.

Cyclists concerned over bridge width FROM PAGE 1 Ray was not pinning the blame on the cyclist, saying they have “as much right to be on the bridge” as drivers. “It’s an atrocious piece of roading. It’s a State Highway. Sure we have a cycle bridge happening but the reality is it’s a main road and people will still want to follow it.”

A spokesperson from the Tasman Wheelers cycling club agrees there are some concerns over the bridge’s width. However, the main reason for her concern is impatient drivers. Jill Ellison, who is one of the timekeepers for the club, says all of the cyclists she knows ride across the bridge as quickly as possible to avoid such problems.

Michael and Rosemary Flanagan cycle along the Appleby Bridge with Peter Brown.

“If the drivers just waited until they are over the bridge it would only cost them a few seconds of their time. The worst is when a truck goes past at speed – it really feels as if you are going to be pulled under sometimes. We regularly have bunches of riders going across the bridge at the

start of races but they are harder to pass so we have not heard of any issues with them,” Speaking to cyclists on the Appleby Bridge on Thursday afternoon, the feedback followed a similar trend. Michael and Rosemary Flanagan agree there is not enough room for two cars and a bike. “The thing is a lot of cars don’t want to wait for us to finish,” says Michael.

Current work on the Nelson Tasman Great Taste Cycle Trail will see a purpose built suspension bridge across the Waimea River. But that would not be suitable for commuters or road cyclists, says Michael. Even if they did take the safer route, the question still remains why they need to.

Trees planted at Rabbit Island Rabbit Island has had 5500 new trees planted in the past month as part of council’s 2012 winter planting programme.

The planting programme will see 800 plants established on Rough Island around the Equestrian Park and Hunter Brown reserve areas, 750 native plants in the Greenslade Park area, 2300 on the front beach reserve and 1600 on the sand dunes.

Tasman District Council contractors and volunteers have been working alongside each other each year to complete the plantings before the end of August.

The sand dune plantings will help stabilise the sand dunes, helping to trap sand and reduce the

effect of erosion.

The reserve planting often replaces logged pine trees and over time they will create shade for picnickers and provide a food source for native birds.

These plantings are funded from the Long Term Plan Moutere/Waimea accounts for coastcare plantings and the Rabbit Island operational account for reserve plantings. Next winter the planting programme will be reduced due to council budgets cuts.

Last summer part of Rabbit Island was closed off following severe flooding in the low lying picnic areas. All of those areas have been open for a Sicon conservation gardener Anthony Hunt with some of the newly plantnumber of months. ed rimu trees at Rabbit Island. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Heavy metal band fills the gap Phillip Rollo

Heavy metal bands may be a dying breed but one Nelson act is striving to ensure the genre’s survival.

Repeat Offenders, a four piece covers band comprising of friends Sam Wilson (vocals), Aaron Russ (drums), Andy McCubbin (guitar) and Kingsley Burgess (bass guitar), has lined up numerous gigs around Nelson pubs, with its next four hour set to be held at the Star & Garter in Richmond on September 15. Aaron believes the band is the only of its kind remaining in Nelson.

“No one else is doing it. There’s a hole and we’re filling that up,” he says. “If you wanted to go out and listen to the type of songs we play, you just couldn’t.”

Repeat Offenders only perform “dirty old rock” covers. Those include anything from well known hits by metal icons Metallica and Iron Maiden, to more stadium rock sounds of Muse.

Andy highlights the band’s age as an influencing factor in its song choices.

Trains to become accomodation Phillip Rollo

The new owners of a two-car electric train are planning on turning it into accommodation for visiting cyclists.

Belgrove couple Hans and Anja Claus bought the train, formerly owned by Metlink, for $29,990 on TradeMe two months ago.

The couple’s daughter Monique, who attends Waimea College, placed the winning bid just minutes before the auction closed.

Hans says that he has always dreamt of turning a train into accommodation but it

was only when the 38 tonne engine train and its 24 tonne carriage appeared on TradeMe that he could finally turn that dream into a reality. “It’s been a long process. At first we were just thinking about it but it was only since they became available that we were working hard at it. You can’t just go to the market and buy a train,” Hans explains, as the second piece of the train was craned onto his property at midday on Friday. “It’s for the cycle trail that they’re building at the moment. It will come close to the State Highway.”

The Great Taste Cycle Trail would enable

cyclists to pedal from Nelson to all corners of the Tasman region.

The accommodation will be similar to holiday homes that were at Waikuku Beach north of Christchurch that were originally purchased by the Tramway board. Around ten years ago there was also a carriage restaurant on Main South Rd just before the Waitaki River.

Hans says “it was a bit of a mission” picking up the train from the KiwiRail yard in Lower Hutt on Thursday night. It was brought over on the Interislander atop of a truck in the dark of the night and then

lifted onto his property the next day. “We only got to the ferry at 8:30 at night so by the time we came into Picton it was 1:30 in the morning.”

The couple was yet to decide on how the set up of the accommodation would look but Hans believes the process of turning into it accommodation was likely to take at least two years.

Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust executive officer Fiona Newey says Hans’ idea is one of many creative concepts being prepared for when the trail is finished. Others include creative bike stands.

Nick Hofmann sure looked the part on Father’s Day. The Stoke resident was the recipient of a competition to win a makeover for your dad last week.

The prize package, worth more than $500, included a half hour consultation plus two 15 minute treatments with electrologist Anne Michelle, one nights accommodation for two, bottle of bubbly and a continental breakfast at the Hon-

est Lawyer, reflexology treatment with Anni Eniko Fekete, one hour message treatment with Madeleine Rohrer and toiletries and a toiletries bag from Kathe Oldham of Avon.

Anne was the person behind the competition, having been in business for more than 30 years. She wanted to do something light hearted, fun and to show men that they deserve a little pampering, even the ubiquitous southern man.

Now Available Locally Environmentally friendly waste disposal

An environmentally responsible option to food waste disposal

The Evolution series The worlds most advanced waste disposers • Grind almost anything • Hear almost nothing A clean and convenient method of creating an odour free and hygienic kitchen by ridding it of food scraps

McGlashen Ave, Richmond

Ph 544 4006

Responsible architecture allows for the proper disposal of household waste. Local authorities support this stance, with many city councils actively pursuing smarter ways to dispose of rubbish, especially food scraps, which account for 20 percent of all household waste.

Clayton Knowles of Edward Gibbons Ltd says waste disposers are one of the best environmental options for waste reduction.

“Once the machine is paid for, disposal of food is free, it uses less water per day than a toilet does in one flush and its power usage is minimal.”

He says home composting is also recognised as an ideal method, but many people do not have the time nor available land to manage a compost heap.

Parex, the NZ distributors of InSinkErator, advocates a triple-bottom-line approach, taking into account environmental, economic and social reasons for responsible waste disposal.

“Some councils have now adopted a zero-wasteto-landfill policy, and InSinkErator complies with that policy one hundred percent.”

Clayton says that people often feel guilty about using waste disposers because “they think it can’t be that easy”. But it is.

“Food waste is 70 percent moisture, and fibrous pulp naturally releases methane. This gas is captured by anaerobic digesters in modern treatment plants and used to generate power.”

Biosolids can also be collected and used for land reclamation. One such project saw the quarry

area of Puketutu Island rehabilitated with treated biosolids from the adjacent Mangere Wastewater Treatment Plant to create a new regional park.

The true cost of growing landfills is becoming more and more evident, with mounting costs being offloaded to ratepayers and the escalating public health risks of enormous rubbish piles.

“Yet waste disposers have no cost to the ratepayer, enable separation of food waste at the source and do not accumulate in the sewers. They don’t require fuel-burning vehicles to take to the road, there is no bin, no smell and they are very convenient,” Higgs says.

Authorities around the world are beginning to recognise the important role waste disposers play environmentally, with many specifying their installation in new homes or providing subsidies for their purchase.

“This is especially the case in apartment blocks, rest homes, and other multi-use properties where alternative waste disposal systems are not an option,” he says.

The latest models from InSinkErator are so advanced they emit very little sound, despite their powerful induction motors. They can be installed into new and existing kitchens, taking up very little space. InSinkErators are available at Edward Gibbons Ltd in McGlashen Ave, Richmond. Call in today to view the different models available and see which one suits you best.

Library launches new website

Diversional therapist Tanya Davey needs volunteers to join the Wakefield Rest Home for crafts and day outings. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Volunteers in need The Wakefield Rest Home is seeking a group of volunteers to join in outings and craft activities.

Nurse manager Geraldine Harvey says the volunteers need to relate well with elderly people, be creative and enjoy a good conversation.

Drives usually take place once a week for a couple of hours to places like Mapua or Nelson, and craft sessions

only last an hour or so, so people aren’t asked to be giving up a lot of their time.

There are currently 18 residents at the Wakefield Rest Home.

Diversional therapist Tanya Davey says it is a rest home that relies heavily on community support.

The Tasman District Library has launched a brand new website, giving residents better access to a catalogue of applications and the ability to see which books are available.

Tasman District Libraries manager Glennis Coote says the new wesbite focuses on marketing what it provides to library users. “It’s a much better platform to show them what is new but in a really visual way. There will be news and events, what is actually happening in the library,” she says.

The website also features e-books and access to newspapers from around the world.

The URL for the new website will remain as www.tasmanlibraries.govt.nz.

First Chch, now Iran Richmond man Firooz Zadeh jumped at the chance to raise some money for the people of Christchurch after last year’s earthquake. Now he’s hoping to do it all again, only this time for the thousands of people urgently needing medi-

cal supplies in his home country, Iran.

Firooz has lived in Richmond for the past ten years and has written three books. He is contracted to speak on some of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships, often to crowds as big as 1000 people. He speaks about Iran, America and New Zealand and openly admits to trying to tempt some of the mostly American passengers to New Zealand.

He says most people in the west don’t have a clue about Iran and sanctions placed on it by the United States only hurt the normal people going about their lives, not the government.

Last year Firooz travelled the country, speaking about Iran and in the process raised $5000 for the Christchurch earthquake fund.

This time he is hoping to do the same, raising money for medical supplies for those injured in the Iranian earthquake which killed 300 people and left 16,000 needing emergency shelter in mid August.

“Kiwis are always so generous and the first to give, I’m hoping they will help me in trying to help the people hurt in the recent earthquake,” says Firooz.

His tour is starting in Richmond, at the library, this Saturday, September 8 from 2 to 4pm and will also include a silent auction of Iranian artwork, music, books, Firooz Zadeh will be doing a speech on Iran, raising money videos and other artifacts. for victims of a recent Iranian earthquake.

Cawthron to host poo expert A visiting expert on human poo is giving a lecture in Nelson later this month, talking about the findings of research into the safe use of waste products for food production.

Dr Deborah Pritchard is a senior lecturer at Curtin University, Western Australia, and is being hosted in Nelson by the Cawthron Institute Trust Board. She has extensive experience in teaching and research of relevance to both the environment and agricultural industries. Her focus on the safe use of waste products for their nutrient value in food production, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, has resulted in numerous field experiments throughout Australia and recently in Africa.

The findings of these projects have improved the agricultural land application of various waste products, including biosolids, municipal waste and animal manure; specifically related to nutrient recycling, heavy metals and pathogens.

The lecture will assess the scientific rationale behind

the recycling of nutrients in land applied biosolids (treated sewage sludge). The production of faeces by humans is an age old activity; the average lifetime production of faeces is about 4.0 tonnes. This ubiquitous production, combined with increasing population and increasing global food requirement has resulted in a drive to divert from landfill, prevent water and land pollution and better reuse the nutrient and beneficial properties of nutrients and organic matter for soil remediation and plant production.

The lecture will highlight recent trends and developments relating to the land application of biosolids to ensure that the 4.0 tonnes of faeces that we each collectively produce is put to good use; focussing on key issues such as nutrients, loading rates, pathogens, ecological risks, metals, organic pollutants, nanoparticles, odour and community attitudes.

The lecture with Dr Pritchard is at 7.30pm, Friday September 21 at the Nelson School of Music.

Each week photos from the Nelson Provincial Museum’s “glass plate” collection will run in the Waimea Weekly and the Nelson Weekly in an effort to find out more about them.

ENGINEERING LIMITED at ET Engineering and they want to be sure that they are heard loud and clear. Eric describes the company by saying that just because they’ve been around for quite some time they are no where near ready to ‘roll over and play dead’. ET Engineering want to assure their loyal and future clients that they are up there in terms of the current market and trends and intend to stay there for many more years to come.

One ET tradesman, Adam Jacques, describes the new makeover as a “breath of fresh life and morale” to the business, a little reminder to the community that they are not just going to sit there

and go stale but are going to get out there and show people what we can do. From garden forks and tow bars to machining, plant maintenance, trailers and structural building, no job is too small or too big for the team at ET Engineering.

Eric’s belief is that it doesn’t matter what size of a job comes across the bridge, it has to be done to the highest of standards, and that is exactly what sets Eric and his team apart from the rest.

“We don’t see people as money or profits, we see them as people who we are more than happy to help them with whatever their needs be. We are a business with the clients best interest at heart,

Owner of ET Engineering, Eric Eden and new client Fabian Prioux standing inside what will be Fabian’s French cuisine food cart.

ET Engineering not only recently celebrated their 15th anniversary but have also undergone a makeover. After 15 years in the business, owners Eric and Cherryl Eden thought it was time for a change.

As some of you may have already noticed ET Engineering’s logo and signage have been refreshed with a little bit of jazz and colour.

“It was time to step up our game and show people that we have got confidence in what is going to start happening in the industry and to do that we’ve put ourselves out there,” said Vanessa, Office Manager of ET.

And putting themselves out there is what they have done. Whilst the new logo and signs, created to reflect ET’s enthusiasm and confidence, are bright and outgoing ET wants to assure their clients that they are still they same firm they’ve always been.

“We’ve put ourselves out there to be seen and we’re letting people know that although everything is new and flashy we are still the same firm and business that we’ve always been with the same beliefs,” said Vanessa.

The change has ushered in a new found attitude amongst the team

As a part of ET’s new found image they have constructed a very special sculpture to symbolise the diversity of their skills and creativity.

The sculpture stands roughly a metre and a half tall and wide and is on display out the front of their workshop on Beach Road. Vanessa and Alistair Barlow, an ET Engineer, worked together and fine tuned it until they were happy and it turns out the sculpture is already a big hit around town. One very impressed client who is a fan of the sculpture and makeover is Fabian Prioux.

Fabian is working with ET to construct a food cart, not just your average food cart but one that the likes of Richmond have never seen before. Without giving away to much detail, the French cuisine cart will house a full commercial kitchen and Fabian believes that no one was better than Eric and his team at ET Engineering for the job. “I looked around quite a lot and when I saw the capacity of the work they were producing I was very impressed.

We also talked about the change in policy regarding road markers and not repainting white lines on some rural roads, the parking of house

Senior Firefighter Kevin Douglas demonstrates how to properly use a fire extinguisher to a group of Wakefield Scouts.

Scouts Hotting It Up With The Fire Brigade On Wednesday August 22, a group of Wakefield Scouts visited the Wakefield Fire Station for Fire Safety and Fire Extinguisher Training. Senior Fire Fighter Kevin Douglas took them through their paces. With many knowing what fire extinguishers were, none had had the opportunity to actually use one on a fire. Kevin, aided by Station Officer Dean Ashton and Qualified Fire Fighter Dot Ashton set up a half drum with some special training fire for the purpose. One at a time, as the group was mesmerised by this hot orange glow, they were shown how to test the extinguisher and then aim in the right direction to extinguish the fire with dry

every contribution adds value to our community and is truly appreciated. We also now have another five members who have joined our organising committee who are bringing a wide range of ideas, networks and experiences to the group.

During the public meeting, there were three interactive sessions which covered What Makes Wakefield Special, Project Ideas to 2015, and Welcoming Visitors. Some fantastic ideas came out of all of these sessions. We have also started a Community Register which holds information about what projects/ areas people are interested in, how they want to contribute, and contact details to enable us to keep

those people informed directly.

Once the summary of the public meeting is completed, those people will receive a copy of the summarised information. If any one else wants a copy, we will be happy to provide one.

As a result of the public meeting, we have identified a few key areas which we will be looking at focusing on first. They are: Communication including a website and Facebook page, beautification of Edward Street and Village Green areas, and establishing Wakefield’s identity and heritage. If you, your child, teenager, parents, friends, etc are interested in any of these areas and want to assist in any way at all,

Fishing with

Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club What has happened to the weather of late? It certainly has been wet and windy at times with the odd nice day chucked in, which always seem to occur mid week. Saturday just gone was a good day but many of you like me, were probably seeing off the last of the winter sports for the year and are desperately hanging out for a fine weekend to get in some good fishing.

As it happens the Dawn breakers have a 30 plus contingent of anglers heading to Okiwi Bay this weekend to chase some kingfish and snapper plus some scallops. The voluntary ban on scallops is now over and reports coming in would indicate the scallops have improved and are now in a very reasonable condition.

Unfortunately just like our last planned trip to French Pass it looks as if the weather gods have decided to conspire against us. The long range forecast is predicting 30 knot winds and rain coming in on Friday morning and staying that way all day. Then dropping to 20-25 knots and heavy rain all day Saturday and decreasing slightly to 15 knots Sunday but all days having seas between 1-3 metres.

All-in-all a depressing forecast but with the weekend still being a few days away you can only be optimistic that it may improve.

Word on the street is that the fishing of late has been quite slow and has been more noticeable at the top of D’Urville. A report from a group that went out last Thursday, Friday

and Saturday is that they did not get one take able fish. Easterly winds and a blue moon were thought to be part of the reason. Also the blue cod ban on the inner sounds is now in force, so please make sure you are familiar with the banned area and the rules about travelling through this zone with blue cod.

The Dawnbreakers Fishing Club season starts on 1 October and now is the time to join.

Every month we will have a club night or day at the NSC, where we will usually have a guest speaker along with our monthly awards.

Fish of the month, average weight species of the month, junior fisher persons of the month, and The Bugger Award. We will also run a meat raffle. So make sure you attend as these are a great night to catch up and at the least a way to find out where the fish are biting.

This season the club will be focusing on more social activities which will enable members to get together more often on and off the water throughout the season. We will work on putting weekends together in different locations so everyone can learn to fish different areas, they otherwise might not. Our next club night is the September 15 at the Nelson Suburban club from 7pm, where we will have a guest speaker talking about different rod/ reel and tackle combinations. If you are interested in becoming a Dawnbreaker please feel free to come along and join us on our club night.

Jacks reign supreme

Waimea College proved to be a worthy opponent for Jacks Office Products Depot Richmond in the Premier Grade final at Saxton Stadium on Thursday.

Jacks had easily accounted for the college team in each of its three regular season match ups.

All the pressure was on Jacks which had a 14 win one draw record for the season while Waimea had nothing to lose and took the court looking relaxed at the prospect.

While Jacks have played some impressive netball throughout the season, Thursday’s final could well be described as luck lustre. Jacks were hesitant and lacked flow through court, partly due to the defensive efforts of Waimea’s mid court of Ashley Laing, Kaitlyn Stringer and Ella Marwick.

Once the ball did reach Jacks shooters it was practically a foregone conclusion it would be converted with Ani Waitai, Leanne Cook and Chelsea Brooks running at 89 per cent goal average.

While Jacks won the first quarter 13–11, it was all Waimea in the second. Waimea starved its more fancied opposition of possession with only eleven attempts at goal, as it took the quarter 15-10. Down 23-26 at half time, Jacks made five changes which soon paid dividends and it was only one in arrears with fifteen minutes to play. A run of nine goals to one early in the final quarter saw Jacks gain the lead which was not relinquished, and it went on to take the championship 49–47.

Waimea coach, Faye Eden (who is actually a life member of the Jacks Club) said her girls totally exceeded all her expectations. She was enormously proud of her players, saying they played together as a team and their performance was a great platform on which to build for this week’s South Island Secondary Schools Tournament in Dunedin. Waimea made the perfect start to the tournament with a convincing 44-27 win over Taieri College.

By all accounts it was an average performance however all eleven players got court time, so first game nerves are out of the way. Waimea led throughout and were

never threatened. St Kevins College was a much tougher proposition and although not a polished performance it was good enough to record a 36-28 win.

Goal attack, Kayla Cross had a standout game – she played smart netball to draw the defence and gathered in three well timed intercepts.

Kaitlyn Stringer and Ashley Laing continued their impressive work through the mid court with some stifling defence to create valuable turnover ball.

Waimea were to play Roncali College in the final pool game before going into crossovers. The tournament concludes on Thursday.

Rowing club opens doors for first timers

An explosion of interest in our most successful Olympic sport in London has prompted the local rowing club to open its doors for those that want to give the sport a go.

Nelson Rowing Club president Tim Babbage says he’s received dozens of phone calls and emails since the Olympics from people keen to give the sport a go, so the club has organised an open day this weekend.

He says it will give people an insight into rowing.

“It’s just a good chance to get in a boat with a couple of club rowers and go out on the water for 30 minutes and see what it’s all about. If people want to take it further from there, then great,” says Tim. New Zealand won three gold and one bronze medal at the London Olympics, lifting the country’s top rowers to hero status.

New rowers this weekend will need to be of college age or higher says Tim and will only need to bring along shorts, t-shirt and sunglasses, the rest will be provided. To have a go, just meet at the Nelson Rowing Club, just along from the red building of the Tasman Bay Cruising Club at the Nelson Marina between 9am and 12noon either Saturday or Sunday, September 8 or 9.

While there have been some turbulent years for lenders in the finance industry, Avanti Finance continues to be a solid player in the market.

With strong funding lines and over 20 years of experience in the personal lending market, Avanti Finance has expanded its presence into the Nelson and Marlborough regions by teaming up with Nelson’s very own Joy Drummond.

“Avanti and I are on the same page – between us we have a lot of experience in the market and we both believe in fostering relationships that are built on trust and consistency,” said Joy. With 29 years’ experience in the industry of her own to draw on, not to mention her local knowledge, Joy is excited about the opportunity ahead.

Having already established good working relationships with various companies and people in Nelson she is very keen to continue to serve the local personal finance market.

Avanti Finance is a 100 per cent New Zealand owned non-bank lender, with the drive and expertise to provide tailor made loans, from $1,000.

The lenders at Avanti are committed to helping people who fall outside the lending criteria of mainstream banks.

They provide motor vehicle finance, bridging finance and second mortgages, and personal financial solutions for anything from debt consolidation or the purchase of a second car,

to creating cash flow for self-employed business owners.

Avanti’s approach to lending is to treat each application individually, taking the entire financial situation of the customer into account.

“We build trusting long-term relationships with customers because we understand their financial situation up front,” says Lending Manager, Stephen Massey.

“We also understand that their circumstances can change over time. Our focus on personal service and our consideration of the unique needs and circumstances of each individual customer, make it easy to talk finance with us,” he says.

With Joy handling your finances she will get to know you and will put together a finance package tailored to suit you.

The newly appointed Regional Development Manager describes herself as very approachable and genuine, and firmly believes that the ‘personal’ in personal loans means getting to know your clients and building strong relationships, the very essence of what Avanti stands for.

So if you need a personal loan to change your vehicle, renovate your home, consolidate your finances or maybe even to take that much needed holiday, give Joy a call now on 0800 808 142 and she’ll come to you.

Sprinters dominate Nelson 80 In what should have been a race for climbers and endurance riders, the sprinters dominated Saturday’s Nelson 80 cycling event. The two Nelson cycling clubs Cycling Nelson and Tasman Wheelers combined forces to run the event.

The Nelson 80, with a history going back to before the Second World War, was again contested on Saturday. Using the traditional handicapped format not often used in recent times, the event had the atmosphere and excitement that was last felt in the 1990s.

Seventy one starters spread out over 31 minutes raced over the Waiwhero hills to Ngatimoti then back over the Neudorf saddle to Redwood Valley.

The scratch bunch containing all but one of the Tasman Wheelers Elite cycling series team along with former Olympian Robin Reid and a contingent from Marlborough took an approach of hard steady riding in order to catch the rest of the field.

By the time the scratch bunch reached the day’s biggest obstacle, the Neudorf Saddle, the whole field was together with pressure being constantly applied.

Matt Black, one of the pre-race favourites made a move on the foothills of the Neudorf saddle and gained a lead half way up the hill of some 100 metres. Chris Nicholson attacked the climb stretching the field and was almost up to Matt when Matt’s

bike frame snapped taking him out of contention but without injury.

Over the top of the climb six riders regrouped at the front and were not caught again. This group however contained all the sprint specialists in the race so a non-aggressive race formed. When Robin also had mechanical trouble on the Moutere Saddle, the five remaining riders were content to see out a sprint finish.

Chris Nicholson started the final push for the line with an immediate reaction from former under 19 National Keirin Champion, current U19 Wayne Pool, Don Wardle and Owen Hoggard, all Tasman Wheelers members, lead the B and C grade Oceania Keirin champion cyclists through to the start of the Nelson 80 course along Redwood Valley.

Proud to be

Two Fighting Fit boxers have scored big wins in Christchurch over the past week, although both fights were polar opposites.

Perry Soper, 20, won his novice elite 60kg title by beating Michael McKee of Fight Science Queenstown 5-1 to take the 2012 Canterbury title in that division.

Like every amateur fight, each bout at the Woolston Working Men’s Club consisted of three two minute rounds. Fighters are scored on the amount of clean hits they land on their opponent.

In Perry’s division there were three fighters and he was lucky enough to land the bye in the first round, meaning he would automatically contest the final.

Last year Perry finished second in the competition, just six months after he took up the sport.

He now has a record of four wins and one loss.

Michael was a worthy opponent according to Perry, fighting in a “bullying” style where he would swing wide and hit hard. Perry “outboxed” Michael, using a more technically sound approach, utilising his fitness and targeting the body of his opposition.

Perry won the first two rounds, with the two fighters tying in the final round.

The second Fighting Fit boxer, 16 year old Michael Fletcher, also picked up a first placing. But his junior 60kg title came courtesy of a stunning final round that saw him land nine shots to take a 10-8 win over Jesse Crouch of Bad Boys Blenheim. Michael was down 3-0 after the first round and 4-1 down after the second before coming out of his shell in the third.

The judges commented that it was a very courageous round with his mentors dubbing it the round of the tournament.

Race entries open Sarah Dunlop Nelson Motorcycle Club is once again hosting the Morley Honda 6 Hour Ironman and Pony Express, which is one of the stand out events on the motorcycling calendar.

The event on September 16, running in its 17th consecutive year, has repeatedly attracted riders from around the country to the Nelson area with its promise of great riding and competition. Over the years the Morley Honda 6 hour has evolved into a major event on the racing calendar, with riders returning every year to improve their placing, and defend titles.

The work the Morley Honda team puts into preparing and running this event in the weeks and months leading up to it, in conjunction with the Nelson Motorcycle Club, ensures that the 6 Hour Ironman and Pony Express is always an enjoyable, well-run event, which is evident in the turnout of riders on the day.

Initially designed as a quad only event, two-wheeled motorbikes soon became the more popular choice, now making up well over half the field. The format is simple – riders have 6 hours to complete as many laps as they can, and can head out on their final lap at any

stage before the 6 hour time limit elapses. The Ironman competitors compete as individuals, while in the Pony Express class riders work in teams of two, taking turns to complete laps.

Christchurch KTM rider Glen Manning will be back to defend his Motorcycle Ironman title this year, after winning the 2011 Ironman in a close finish, following a six hour battle with runner up Simon Routledge. In the quad Ironman class last year, Jason Ahnfeldt dominated the field, and there will be some stiff competition in 2012.

Last year Chris Power from Power Racing made a change from previous years where he has taken out the Ironman trophy. In 2011 he entered in the Pony Express class with cousin Karl Power. They took out their Pony Express class over second place getters Matt and Michael Vining, and also picked up the overall Champions trophy, having the fastest lap times over the entire field on the day. Chris will be back this year, riding a CRF450R supplied by Morley Honda, competing in the Ironman class once again.

No doubt the competitiveness between Chris Power and Glen Manning will make for some speedy lap times.

This year the Morley Honda 6

12

Hour is being run on September 16 in the Hira Forest, accessed from the Maitai Valley near Nelson. This all weather, all abilities track is suitable for both quad bikes and dirtbikes. With lap times of 40 minutes expected from the top riders over the 35km track it is sure to be a fast and furious competition.

Although the more serious contenders will be battling it out at the front of the pack, the Morley Honda 6 Hour is for riders of all abilities. The track is made up largely of forestry roads and tracks, in what is sure to be a fast, exciting ride.

Morley Honda has all the expertise and equipment needed, and with all of their staff involved in the 6 hour, they can help get your bike and body kitted out in racing condition, ready for the big day.

So even if you’ve never entered an event of this type before, now is the time to give it a go. There are trophies and great prizes on offer for place getters as well as spot prizes.

Pre-entries are being taken until 5pm on Wednesday September 12, and day entries will also be accepted, so get your entry in now for one of the biggest Motorcycle events in the Nelson region. For further information and entry forms contact the team at Morley Honda on 544 8703.

Frank Goeddert has donated a trophy for the Wanderers Sports Club Pig Hunt. He is pictured above with his son Flynn,9. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Rugby clubs to contest pig hunt The rugby season may be over but each club will get one last chance to lock horns when Wanderers holds an end of season pig hunt.

Each hunter will pick their club of choice when registering, creating a unique inter-club rivarly element. The winner will recieve $500 for their club’s JAB section. There are hundreds of prizes also on offer, including specially designed winner’s jerseys from ProRugby.

One of the organisers, Frank Goeddert, who plays for the Wanderers division three side and donated the trophy for the competition, says the idea came about when he saw car parks full of dog boxes on the back of utes during the rugby

season. “Their first passion is obviously rugby and the second passion is hunting,” he says. “It’s the perfect way to finish the season. We can get all of the guys back together. But we want the JAB kids to get recongised and that’s why the focus is on them.”

It is the first year the hunt is being held, but is designed to become an annual event.

It will be held on September 27, 28 and 29. Entry is $30 for an adult, $10 for intermediate and children under 10 years old are free. Each hunter is allowed to enter two boars. For further information visit the Wanderers Sports Club Pig Hunt Challenge page on Facebook.

Learn how to trout fish Ever wanted to give trout fishing a go but haven’t known what to do? Coming soon is your chance to learn more as the Nelson Trout Fishing Club, with assistance from Fish and Game will be running a free casting clinic at 10am on Sunday the September 9 at Garin College, Richmond.

Future Ferns contest opener

The netball season might be drawing to a close but there is still fun to be had for the Future Ferns.

Nelson Netball development officer, Trish Lowe is busy coordinating the final weeks of the season.

Fun Ferns is for four to eight year olds and meet at Saxton Stadium on Tuesday afternoons.

The players are put into groups according to their age and along with helpers they work through a standard list of skills and drills. Once those are mastered, the drills are then expanded accordingly. They had their final this week with special activities organised by Marie Holland of Sport Tasman and were awarded certificates.

Future Ferns is the next step up, with Year 4 and 5 students being put through their paces at Saxton Courts on Wednesday afternoons. The teams take part in skills and drills as part of their warm up, which is followed by a game of two 12 minute periods.

Trish supplies the coaches with the skills and drills handouts

and along with her invaluable helper, Jane Gass is on hand to offer any advice. One on one sessions for coaches also happen regularly throughout the season.

Once the players reach Year 6 they get to play Saturday netball when they have a normal warm up and play four 10 minute quarters.

And like everyone knows, to play netball you need umpires. Trish has an enthusiastic group of your young players who turn up to umpire, often having to fit it in around playing their own game.

This year 16 players were selected to play as a curtain raiser to the premier grade final last Thursday. Trish asked for nominations from coaches then had the difficult job of selecting the final 16.

They have been training hard under Trish’s guidance over the past four weeks for their big game and were as keen as mustard to play at Saxton Stadium.

Catherine Evaga of Waimea Intermediate, who is a promsing umpire, controlled the fixture.

Rubina Myers of Richmond competes at the Just Gym gymnastics competition.

Tasman Resource Management Plan Proposed Plan Changes 37 and 38 Proposed Plan Variation 3 to Change 10

join our community: Twitter • Facebook • Website

Proposed Plan Change 37: Richmond West and South Greenway This Change clarifies the appropriate zoning of lands forming the Richmond west and south greenway which is to be progressively acquired and managed as urban open space to support stormwater drainage, recreation, aquatic ecosystem and active transport values in the future urban setting of the network.

Proposed Plan Change 38: National Environmental Standard for Managing and Assessing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health This Change removes policies that are now inappropriate or superseded by the effect of the National Standard, reflecting new duties and processes for managing particular land uses and subdivision of Hazardous Activity and Industry List (HAIL) sites.

Proposed Plan Variation 3 to Change 10: Richmond West Development Area Technical Amendments This Change addresses technical errors and inconsistencies with the land use noise rule in the Mixed Business Zone (MBZ), visitor accommodation and community activity matters for the MBZ, and parking requirements for all activities in the MBZ and Light Industrial Zone in the Richmond West Development Area.

Submissions Any person may make a submission on any part of any of the proposed Changes. Submissions can be sent to the Manager Policy, Tasman District Council, Private Bag 4, Richmond 7050 to be accepted by Council for a period closing at 4.00 pm on Monday 15 October 2012. Forms for making submissions are available as indicated below under “Availability of Proposed Changes”.

Submissions must be in writing, clearly indicating support or opposition to the provisions, the decision that the submitter wishes the Council to make (with reasons), whether or not the submitter wishes to be heard in support of the submission and an address for service or contact address.

Consideration of Proposed Amendments After submissions have closed, Council will publish a summary of all decisions requested by submitters. There will be a further period of 10 working days within which further submissions in support of or opposition to those submissions made may be sent to Council. Council will then hold hearings on all submissions and all submitters may be heard. After the Council considers the submissions and makes its decisions, any submitter who is not satisfied with the decision has the right of appeal to the Environment Court.

Availability of Proposed Amendments The proposed amendments are available to view at Council’s Richmond office or online at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/trmp-proposed-changes Submission forms are also available.

For more information or advice on these amendments, please contact Neil Jackson Ph. 03 543 8485 or Email neil.jackson@tasman.govt.nz or Steve Markham Ph. 03 543 8427 or Email steve.markham@tasman.govt.nz Update Pages to the Plan Update No. 44 to the Plan, including all amendments to the text as a result of the proposed amendments, will be available as soon as possible.
