Mayoral candidates answer tough questions Andrew Board

awards last month. The yacht, which started sailing from Wellington on route to Auckland, got into trouble when it hit Cook Strait in bad weather. A big wave meant the yacht took on water which destroyed its electrics, including its navigational equipment and motor.

Mayoral candidate Maxwell Clark does not think there is anything wrong with taking money from a gang, while fellow candidate Kit Maling believes he could vote against the dam if it wasn’t right and mayor Richard Kempthorne says he does not back staff over ratepayers.

The answers came after Waimea Weekly put some of the criticisms each have faced during this year’s local body elections, which close this Saturday.

As owner of MediMax Ambulance Service, Maxwell has regularly accepted donations from the Red Devils Motorbike Gang and their affiliates, the Hells Angels during the group’s annual Poker Ride. Police say the gangs are involved in the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine, otherwise known as P. But Maxwell says there is nothing wrong with accepting the money. “First thing is that I can’t say they’re dealing in anything [drugs]. We don’t make a judgment call on people whether they belong to the Rotary Club or a motorbike club.”

Asked if, as mayor, he would be happy for the council to accept a donation from the groups he replied: “It’s nothing for me…

You’d consider it like any other business.

What a rescue!

Coastguard saves yacht in stormy seas When Nelson Coastguard member and former Waimea College student Haden McCrorie jumped onto a yacht, battered from two days at sea in “horrific weather”, it was the easy part of the rescue.

The hard part was figuring out how to sail the yacht, and then getting it and its two exhausted crew into calm waters in the middle of the night five months ago.

Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz The nine-hour mission, involving most of the Nelson Coastguard crew, earned Haden the “Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year” award at the regional Coastguard

“We had two Abyssinian cats and they were litter mates. A lot of dog-like qualities, loved water, went for walks with us, they lived to a good old age.”

“I’ve never owned a pet, there was a dog and a cat in the house but they were the parents’ essentially.”

“We’ve only had two cats, they were extremely lazy and it used to come into the bathroom when we were having a bath when we were little.”

“A dog, he was a very intelligent Rhodesian Ridgeback. I got him from the pound. He used to let me know when the phone was ringing and he could climb vertical ladders.”

They were eventually pushed near D’Urville Island and that is when the Nelson Coastguard got the call to help at about 6pm.

Haden says plenty of planning took place before they took off, but finding the yacht was tough because of its damaged navigational equipment. A passing ship found it on its radar and pointed the Coastguard in the right direction. After some searching, they found the yacht getting battered by the sea and its two crew in a bad way, at around 9pm.

“They weren’t confident hoisting the mainsail and there was very little we could do for them. We couldn’t tow them because the sea was too rough. They weren’t doing well so we devised a plan to board their yacht.”

Haden, a skipper, was lucky to have another experienced skip-

tum in the yacht to turn it so the sails could get some wind.

Finally, after six hours on board and ten nautical miles, Haden, guided by the Coastguard boat, made it into Okiwi Bay. “Once we got around the heads we could get a tow on and the guys had organised a mooring for them. When we got it tied up the guys were happy to stay the night there, so we left them to it.

They were pretty grateful.”

Haden praised the effort of the entire crew in the rescue and says his award is one that belongs to the whole team.

He will head to Taupo in a fortnight where he is up for the national award of volunteer of the year. And he won’t be alone, the Nelson Coastguard won four awards at the regional awards, including for crew of the year and rescue of the year. For full details turn to page 16.

per on board to take over the Coastguard boat, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to consider the rescue. But after some serious planning he prepared to board their boat.

He stood on the edge of the Coastguard boat, waited for the perfect moment and launched himself onto the stricken yacht.

Once there, he had to figure out where everything was on the yacht and how to sail it. The two crew refused to leave the cabin and – after two days without sleep – were in no condition to help. “They weren’t comfortable leaving the cockpit on the boat so I had to do it all myself, I was pretty much single handed. That’s the tricky part, all of a sudden you’ve got a short time to learn the boat, figure out where everything is and there was a bit of tidying up to do as well.”

Haden had to get some momen-

Two new commercial developments on Gladstone Rd in Richmond that will see four businesses moving down the road and Big Barrel opening a new outlet are almost completed.

A new two-story commercial and industrial complex at 76 Gladstone Rd will be completed in time for a Big Barrel liquor outlet opening this Friday. The 500 square metre building is owned by John and Sandi Hawke who will also be moving their businesses, Ultimate Roofing, Ultimate Garage Doors and Roofingsmiths Nelson into the new complex “about two weeks later”.

“We purchased the property

about two and half years ago with a new development for our businesses in mind,” John says. “We had to move because we are growing and needed more space for our office and storage and showroom.”

John says they will be leasingout their existing premises at 97 Gladstone Rd. Ultimate Roofing employs three staff as well as around eight self-employed contractors.

Richmond Glass will also be relocating its premises from 14 Gladstone to the warehouse formerly leased by Tuffnell Plumbing, Richmond Equipment and Hirequip at 56 Gladstone Rd. Richmond Glass will be sole tenant of the building which is being redeveloped by Coman Construction.

Managing director James Glover says he expects Richmond Glass, which employs 24 staff, will be moving into the newly-developed premises in November.

James says the move will provide their expanding business with more space for a showroom and workshop as well as allowing all their staff to work at the same site. Richmond Glass presently has additional workshops located in Wakatu Estate in Stoke and behind Beaurepaires in Richmond.

“We need space for a showroom because people like to come in and see and touch the product they are thinking of buying,” James says. “We can’t do that here because we’ve run out of room.”

Salisbury celebrates in face of closure Brittany Spencer

A Richmond school facing a controversial closure celebrated its 100th year over the weekend.

Current and former students, staff and supporters flocked to Salisbury School for a weekend of celebration in the face of an imminent closure.

The two-day centenary began with a powhiri and the unveiling of a History Panel and continued with mingling, morning tea, reminiscing and strong speeches against the government’s plans to close the school.

Principal Brenda Ellis says the centenary is a significant milestone and it has been really special sharing it with those who were involved in the school throughout the years.

“It’s absolutely wonderful to have the support of so many past students who have come from right throughout the country along with their parents, with caregivers, with local and past staff, all present to enjoy the fabulous two days that we’ve got planned.”

And although the school has reached 100 years, Brenda hopes it will be open for many more to come.

The school’s board of trustees chairman, John Kane says the specialist school has to keep go-

Deb says they would love to be able to continue the programme which costs the owner just $25 but unfortunately they do not have the funds.

Mayoral candidates answer tough questions FROM PAGE 1 would be looked at by the council officers and they would consider whether it’s appropriate or not appropriate.

“I can’t anticipate things in advance that may or may not happen, I can only go on what I have knowledge about.”

Kit has faced questions about his ability to consider the Waimea Community Dam in a considered way as he chairs the Waimea East Irrigation Company, but he says he will have no problem saying ‘no’ to the dam if it isn’t right for Tasman.

“I’ve always said the dam needs five key things to happen; the irrigators have to put up their share, the Crown Irrigation has to be involved, the TDC has to be involved, the Ministry for Environment and Nelson City Council. All five of those have to line up for it to be affordable, if it’s not affordable it won’t happen.”

Richard Kempthorne has presided over some staff overspending of key projects. He has been criticised for being more concerned about protecting staff who have made the errors, not the interests of ratepayers. But he refutes that suggestion completely.

“When mistakes are made people are made accountable but sometimes people don’t realise that.

“I do value what the staff do and sometimes they get unduly criticised so I am a little defensive of staff in that respect.”

The Weekly then asked each of the candidates what they considered to be the election’s biggest issue. All three said rates affordability and funding the proposed Lee Valley Dam. Results for the election will be announced on Saturday. More information on the election is on page 24 of this week’s paper.

Nelson council the minority in Easter trading debate: According to a recent survey, 78 per cent of New Zealand council candidates support shops opening on Easter Sunday, but the majority of Nelson’s candidates don't. “Under new legislation, councils are able to decide whether to allow residents and visitors the choice to go to the shops on Easter Sunday, or to continue current outdated legislation that seeks to ban shopping,” says Retail NZ’s Greg Harford. Nelson and Lower Hutt were the only cities where the majority of candidates said they were opposed to shops opening. However, strong support for allowing shops to choose to open on Easter Sunday was found in Marlborough and Tasman, as well as Wellington, Hamilton and Tauranga.

New gallery impresses The third oldest art gallery in New Zealand has undergone a major transformation, locals finally seeing The Suter Art Gallery’s fresh, new look at the Sunday reopening.

While planning and fund-raising for the project started back in 2012, the construction itself began in February 2015 and has significantly changed the look and layout of the building.

While the new facility has a much more modern design, it has been built around the Suter Memorial Gallery, which, instead of being rebuilt, has been refurbished.

The gallery now features an art library, the refurbished memorial gallery, a beautiful foyer/communal space, a new education room for hands-on art activities, the refurbished performance theatre and an outdoor sculpture walk.

The Nelson Suter Art Society also calls the centre home and within its walls they have their own gallery space and meeting room.

The Suter Art Gallery also has the most up-todate lighting available and a brand new heating and ventilation system to properly care for the artworks.

Hundreds of people attended the reopening and many were impressed with what the rebuild had achieved.

“I think it’s lovely and airy, I like the way they’ve raised the ceilings to what presumably was original and I think the light is better for the paintings,” says Nelson’s Une Hilson.

“It’s easy to move around, before it seemed to go from one room to another but this is much more open and I think it does the art justice.”

“I’m just amazed they’ve managed to do so much with that amount of money, because it’s incredible,” says Beatrice Clover.

“All the open spaces and glass windows looking out to the gardens, it’s much more than just an art gallery, it’s a community facility.”

The reopening day included live art demonstrations, a vocal recital in the theatre by Hugh Neill and the opening exhibitions entitled Milk and Honey, Promised Land and Exodus.

The Suter Art Gallery is now open seven days a week from 9:30am until 4:30pm.

Keith Marshall and Mike Haskew welcome the public into The Suter Art Gallery during its reopening event on Sunday.

Funding, fuel and coffee for boating safety Simon Bloomberg Free coffee and discounted fuel will be added incentives for boaties and stand-up paddle boarders to make sure they are safe on the water this summer.

Nelson city and Tasman district council harbourmasters have received $30,000 from Maritime New Zealand for the next three years, and have teamed up with NPD to promote a boating safety programme Fuel for Safety. The campaign is aimed at running a series of safety promotions on boat ramps around the region and will start at Labour Weekend.

Tasman district harbourmaster Dan Cairney says Fuel for Safety focuses on education at boat ramps where they will be running through a check list of

safety equipment that needs to be aboard boats. Recreational boaties with the right safety equipment onboard will receive an NPD voucher for discounted fuel as well as giveaways.

Dan says Nelson City Council initiated the programme last year and it made sense to extend that into the Tasman district. Nelson City Council deputy harbourmaster Josh Hanrahan says the programme proved successful and this year Coastguard Nelson volunteers will be helping out at the weekends to “add some real weight” to the campaign. .

“We spoke to people in around 250 boats last year and it went very well,” Josh says. “It’s important to get boaties thinking about safety and we had some good feedback but I suppose once you mention discounted fuel most boaties are quite interested.”

Josh says they will also be repeating a water safety campaign for paddle craft to cater for the “huge upsurge” in numbers of stand-up paddle boarders. Stand-up paddlers will be offered a free coffee voucher sponsored by Kitesurf Nelson’s cafe as a reward for wearing life jackets and leg-leashes.

“It was quite funny, you’d pull the boat up alongside a paddle boarder and say ‘how would you like a

Photo: Brittany Spencer. free coffee’ and they’d look at us expecting us to get out a thermos and pour a coffee. It’s fantastic that Kitesurf Nelson have come on board again and apparently they make really good coffee.”

Tasman District Council also received $15,000 a year for the next three years from Martime NZ to employ a part-time deputy harbourmaster to increase the num-

ber of patrols over the busy summer period. Tasman and Nelson harbourmasters have received additional funding from Maritime NZ to participate in their nationwide enforcement campaign, No Excuses.

The programme requires councils to conduct on-water enforcement for up to five days where a “no excuses” approach will be

taken to breaches of key safety regulations including wearing and carriage of lifejackets and boat speed. Although the boating public will be informed about the programme, Dan says the days on which it will be implemented will not be publicised. The boating safety campaign will be launched nationwide during Safer Boating Week from October 14 to 21.

A security camera image of an alleged poacher in the Lee Valley-Aniseed Valley area that was posted on Facebook this week.

Police charge man for unlawful hunting More photos of alleged poachers have gone online following the arrest of two men for illegal hunting near Wakefield.

The men were arrested in a forest near Wakefield after they were caught poaching. One man faces charges and the second man was warned for unlawful hunting which can result in a maximum sentence of two years imprisonment and a $100,000 fine - firearms and vehicles can also be seized.

Earlier this year police announced they would be putting more resources into fighting poaching on

farmland and forestry blocks. Signs have been erected in some forest and rural areas warning people about illegal hunting and who to contact if they see any suspicious activity.

This week, a photo of alleged poachers in the Lee Valley-Aniseed Valley was posted on Facebook saying the images had been “handed onto the police to deal with”.

Anyone with information on illegal hunting, poaching or spotlighting can contact police or phone Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Opinion

Your Voice $50k to clean P home: Why should the landlord have to pay if the agent knew the tenant had done it before and still put the tenant in their property. The agent should pay the landlord out and then go after the tenant themselves.

Janine Brennan.

The rental agency should be named, so that anyone in the Richmond area who uses this rental agency can check their tenants out. I wouldn't be pleased if I found out it was my property. Sandra Seddon.

Laws should change and landlords should test all tenants for drugs before letting their properties, also test all tenants who are renting now. I'd love to see a lot of P users be kicked out, and have the deserving homeless families rehomed. Tina Tepu.

Time for a court case to put the cost of repairs onto the person/s who caused it. If it is known who it was, why aren't they being prosecuted?

It's a shame that these people seem to be able to go from rental property to rental property and yet careful tenants who have a pet really struggle to get anything! If I was a landlord, I know which I would prefer.

In this case, the rental agency should be held to account for damage to any properties they let to these tenants when

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz facebook.com/waimeaweekly www.nelsonlive.co.nz

they know their history. Tania Brunell.

The rental agency take a big enough percentage of the rent and what are they doing for the landlord, nothing, nor do they care. It’s all about filling the property, go the rental agency and yes, name them.

Sally Mccauley.

Name and shame the scumbags.

Jasmin Price.

Property managers should have to pay this it’s part of their job.

What are they being paid for?

Heather Holland.

Don’t worry about naming the tenant, as a landlord that’s not our business. I don’t want to know anything about my tenant I pay good money for someone to do that for me. Name the agency!! Dan Beloe.

Protest against the protestor: Nelson city is already looking dirty and colourless, no plants, the place just looks blah, and driving through today Hone had an array of washing out including a bra and old socks really brings the city down. If I was a tourist I'd drive straight through to Richmond. Stayc Marie.

This is a good idea, but it gives Lewis Stanton more media coverage, that's more attention again, he thrives on that! Margaret Poels.

So if Hone decided to change his protest method, would they follow suit? Not sure if fighting fire with fire is getting their message across in this case. Even they admit Hone might look on it as support for him. It's gonna confuse the heck out of tourists!

Matt Hammond.

Wow, Tim is totally correct and we need to support this great initiative. Wonderful generosity from Mr Vercoe :) Ruth Jarman.

PM opens Brook Sanctuary fence: So many positive things happening in Nelson and NZ. Well done to all at the Brook Sanctuary you have taken a risk worked hard and this will prove to be another tourism highlight in years to come. Sue Dahlberg.

The fence is a waste of tax payers money and this so called “Holistic Sanctuary” is a fad. They will be dropping tons of poison up there soon. So the label of cleanest water in Nelson will have to change. The poison will fix that! Shame on you!

Et tu, Zarek Simon Bloomberg Garin College student Zarek Wentzell has been working harder than ever these holidays spending the first week rehearsing and performing at the National Shakespeare Schools Production in Dunedin.

Zarek was one of 45 student actors and directors involved in the annual production after they were selected from the 23 regional University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festivals earlier in the year.

The week culminated in the student company giving performances of three Shakespeare plays on Friday and Saturday and Zarek says the experience was “amazing.”

“We rehearsed for seven or eight days alongside doing workshops with professionals, so it was an intensive week,” Zarek says. “I learned a lot about being present on stage and having a stronger connection with the piece of writing you are trying to portray.

Focus - Fresh Approach - Community Involvement I have spent many hours over the last few weeks visiting the different parts of the district and talking to as many people as possible. The message I have been hearing is that the current Council has lost touch with the people of the different communities and has got their priorities wrong. It is definitely time for a fresh approach and the communities must all have a say in decisions which directly affect them.

Zarek says he played two characters, Metellus Cimber and Brutus, in Julius Caesar. Although the characters are both back-stabbing conspirators,

Zarek says he enjoyed playing their roles.

“I thought it was really cool,” Zarek says.

“Brutus and Metellus are the bad guys but I don’t think any of the characters in Julius Caeser are 100 per cent innocent, they are all a bit twisted and conflicted.”

The Lee Valley Dam is clearly of great concern to many people – those in Motueka, Golden Bay, Tapawera and Murchison do not want to pay for something that will be of no benefit to them.

Even those in Richmond are angry that it will add substantially to their rates bill as well as to Council debt. Every $10million of debt translates to a 1% increase of rates for every ratepayer.

We do not need this dam.

• I shall continue to listen to what the people of Tasman want.

• Local and rural communities must be included in decision making.

• Resolving stormwater issues throughout the district must be a priority.

• Alternatives to the dam must be fully canvassed – we do not need to spend close to $100 million dollars to benefit only a small group of irrigators. I am the only mayoral candidate who is standing in opposition to the dam.

• Council spending must be reined in. We need to live within our means.

• Council needs to focus on providing core services – the “must haves” rather than the “nice to haves”.

• We must balance growth of our local industries with protecting our unique environment.

A & P Show entries open Simon Bloomberg Organisers of this year’s Golden Edge Nelson A & P Show don’t believe in trying to reinvent the wheel but they have made some subtle modifications to the show’s 123rd edition to make sure it keeps up with the times.

Show secretary Annette Robinson and her staff and volunteers have been busy compiling the schedule for the show at Richmond Park on November 19 and 20 and last week posted all the details on-line and in print. Although the majority of sections remain the same as last year, Annette says they have updated the schedule to reflect changes in society and technology.

The modern version of the Nelson A & P Show, for example, has a glutenfree section in the cooking and only accepts digital entries for the Hanafins photography section. Annette says another interesting trend in the .co.nz cooking section is the increase in the number of entries from men.

There have also been a number of modifications to the schedule that reflect changes in farming practises, including down-sizing the sheep section and introducing more sections for lifestyle farmers. A decline in alpaca numbers means that there will only be a display of alpacas this year

Golden Edge Nelson A & P Show secretary Annette Robinson. while the competitive section will be limited to alpaca fleeces.

“We do have to keep working at it because things are always changing,” Annette says. “We also listen to feedback - we can’t always do what people are telling us but we always listen.”

Annette says they are expecting the equestrian section to be the biggest after attracting 933 entries last year. The handcrafts, cooking and horticulture

sections are also popular and are always well supported by the schools.

“We always get good entries for the children and youth section. Last year, we had 459 entries and that’s including some schools that put in one entry for all their kids so it’s 459-plus.”

The schedule for next month’s Golden Edge Nelson A & P Show can be found on the show’s newly-upgraded website, www.richmondpark.nz

POWER OUTAGE FOR ST ARNAUD AND TAPAWERA AREAS –

SUNDAY 16 OCTOBER 2016, 9:00am-3:00pm As owner and operator of the National Grid, Transpower needs to undertake essential maintenance work at the Kikiwa Substation. This repair work will ensure a reliable supply of electricity to St Arnaud and Tapawera areas.

Unfortunately this maintenance cannot be undertaken while the substation is in service.

Transpower would like to advise residents and businesses in and around St Arnaud and Tapawera that a power outage is required on:

The outage will affect all of Tapawera from Tapawera-Baton Road and Wangapeka areas through to and including all of the St Arnaud area. This includes The Howard and the Rainbow Road areas.

Saxton Stadium, Nelson

After 14 years of planning, four years of fund-raising and a “Herculean effort”, the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary pest-proof fence is finally complete, and last week Prime Minister John Key was in Nelson for its official opening.

Over 100 people gathered around the sanctuary information centre as the trust’s patron Philip Woollaston and general manager Hudson Dodd gave speeches alongside the Prime Minster, Nelson mayor Rachel Reese and Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne.

The speeches were followed by the unveiling of a plaque, John Key’s symbolic closing of the fence, the signing of

of a lot of generous people in terms of money and time, and you’ve put together what is a world-class sanctuary.”

Hudson says he is beyond happy that the fence is complete.

“We’ve actually got a 14.5km pest-proof fence on the ground enclosing 7000ha, so we can get on with the fun part of the project, starting to restore the ecosystem and bring back the vanished species that used to call these hills

home.”

The Prime Minister was greeted by around a dozen protestors at the entrance to the sanctuary. The protestors were upset that poison will be used to kill all the pests and possibly some native birds inside the fence.

One of the protestors, dressed as dead bird, managed to push through bushes to be close to the speakers, before lying down on the ground, completing her ‘dead bird’ protest.

Tom and Julie Jeffrey of Tech Clean are thrilled with the growth of their business, which has not only seen them take on a new member of staff, but establish a new location on Richmond’s Gladstone Rd. Marise Bainbridge is the newest member of the Tech Clean team and will be taking over management of the residential and commercial cleaning side of the business after starting this week. Her experience in the industry is extensive and she is more than up to the task having owned and operated her own residential cleaning business, while most recently, she has organised the daily operation of a laundry business.

Marise’s role will see her undertake consultations with Tech Clean’s clients to identify their residential and commercial cleaning requirements, before scheduling the work to be done through the professional Tech Clean team. Tom says she will also bring a higher level of cleaning equipment and processes to the business which will increase the standard of service their clients receive.

Tech Clean is also proud of its recent relocation to Richmond’s Gladstone Rd. Although it is simply a larger base for staff to work from and store equipment, it highlights the growth that the business has experienced.

With spring here, now is the perfect time to utilise Tech Clean’s residential and commercial cleaning services to freshen up your living or working areas. Marise is the first point of contact for these services and can help put together a customised cleaning programme whether its regular visits to ensure a clean and safe workplace, or a one off spring clean of your home. She can also help organise further services including carpet cleaning, pest control or grounds maintenance.

With Marise now focused on commercial and residential cleaning, Tom is now able to centre his attention on Tech Clean’s specialist services including soda blasting, hazardous material cleans and restoration work after floods, fire and mould or drug contamination.

To organise a consultation for the cleaning of your home or workplace, give Marise a call today at Tech Clean, Nelson and Tasman’s leading property services provider.

Give it a Go !

Humans weren’t born with wheels on their feet and for good reason.

I also wasn’t born with a natural desire to wear hot pink short, shorts and constantly fall over, but I was at the Nelson Roller Sports rink to give roller derby a go, regardless.

I am on the shorter side of average height, not your most coordinated or aggressive person and the last person you’d ever think to call a badass.

Walking through the rink doors to find Nelson’s infamous Sirens of Smash training definitely reaffirmed all that.

Going into this, I thought derby was for tough chicks with ripped fishnet tights, lots of mascara and a healthy dose of aggression they wanted to work off by smashing another team. Turns out they are actually geniuses because, somehow, defying all laws of physics on their tiny little wheels, they manage to whip round the track faster than Scott Dixon whilst also dodging, jumping, and bowling over the opposition.

It was quite apparent that, from the word go, the Sirens of Smash were legends, while I was merely a muppet, and unfortunately for me, it’s all on video on nelsonlive.

was so bad, they wouldn’t let me anywhere near a bout, so instead I watched them attack the track from the sidelines, longing to be as badass and coordinated as they were.

I didn’t even get a chance to put my toughness to the test and these girls are tough. Tiny artistic skater by day and Sirens of Smash jammer by night, Hayley ‘Bashful’ Nam told me she’d accidentally broken her team-mates rib in a training session.

While I wasn’t exactly putting my hand up for breaking my first bone, the competitor in me wanted to go out there and prove I could jam with the best of them.

Much to my disappointment, my uncoordinated limbs let me down and I remain ‘fresh meat’, not yet worthy to jam with the Sirens.

However, I did get to skate around the track with the team a few times, but much to their amusement it was at granny pace and they had to grab my elbows occasionally to stop me falling over.

If you want a chance to see the Sirens of Smash in action, head to Tahunanui’s Nelson Roller Sports rink this Saturday, October 8 at 7pm, for their clash against the Hellmilton Roller Ghouls from Hamilton.

WEDNESDAY 5 October 2016

Just a thought...

Pastor David Jensen Richmond Baptist Church Today, I want to talk about grace.

Jesus told a story nearly 2000 years ago that reveals something of what grace is all about. This story, which is found in the Bible in Luke chapter 15, has become known affectionately as The Prodigal Son. As we read this story it’s important that we understand it was told in a culture that viewed the dishonoring of parents as a serious offense.

So in this story we see a son treating his father with utter contempt.

The son demands his inheritance, dishonouring his father by treating him as though he were dead, and then leaves. He then squanders all the inheritance on parties and prostitutes, and in the process dishonours his family’s good

name.

Then, after some time, a severe famine occurs. Being destitute and deserted by his so-called friends with nothing left to live on or for he comes to his senses.

The son, knowing he deserves rejection, heads back to his father with a contrite heart, hoping that he will mercifully take him back as a mere servant.

So it’s here in the story where we see this beautiful thing called grace. So when the father sees the son he doesn’t turn his face away in judgment as he deserved but instead, in undignified fashion, he runs to him.

The father affectionately showers him with love, celebrates his return, and restores him fully and completely, not merely as a servant but as his own son.

What I want to draw your atten-

Grant for School of Music

tion to is that we see in this parable a picture of God extending grace to us. Friends, no matter what we have done, or how bad we have been, there is a loving God who waits for us, longing that we will reach out to him in faith so he can shower us with his amazing grace.

Now you might be surprised to know that Jesus told this story to some self-righteous men who didn’t see their own need of God’s grace. Sadly, these men thought that God should not extend grace to contrite sinners but instead give them what they deserve.

These men really didn’t get the heart of God. Friends, 29 years ago this prodigal son came to his senses and embraced the gracious offer of forgiveness and restoration that God extended him through Jesus.

I pray you will also.

The Nelson School of Music’s auditorium restoration project will receive a grant of $1.5 million, Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Maggie Barry announced on Tuesday.

The school’s heritage auditorium was closed in December 2013 because of earthquake risk and fund-raising is underway to strengthen, refurbish and reopen the building.

Construction on the project has started, with completion expected in 2017 and Maggie says she is “delighted” the historic building is being saved.

“Culture attracts visitors and business and makes our towns and cities places where people want to live, and the auditorium, which will now be strengthened and restored into a state-of-the-art concert venue, is no exception.

“Throughout its history, the auditorium has been central to the cultural life of the Nelson region, and its closure has been a great loss.”

An important concert venue for local, national and international performers, the auditorium had previously hosted the biennial Adam Chamber Music Festival and other national events, including the New Zealand Composer’s Symposium and the Adam Summer School for chamber music.

The building was designed by Wellington-based architect Frederick de Jersey Clere, who also designed Nelson’s newly refurbished Suter Gallery.

“I am pleased this redevelopment will retain the building’s much-valued heritage features, preserving Clere’s vision for future generations,” Maggie says.

Election results likely

by Saturday afternoon Voters should know who will be the next Tasman district mayor soon after 1pm on Saturday when the progressive result is expected to be announced by the electoral officer.

Voting in this year’s local body elections closes at midday on Saturday when the final voting papers will be sent to Christchurch for electronic counting.

However, Tasman’s deputy electoral officer Anna Gerraty says people should not post their voting papers after Wednesday this week because NZ Post cannot guarantee delivery before the voting closes.

Anna says voters need to handdeliver their voting papers to Tasman District Council offices in Richmond, Motueka, Takaka or Murchison after Wednesday to ensure their votes are received.

Completed voting papers can be returned to the ballot box at Richmond until midday on Saturday with after-hours boxes closing at Motueka at 11am and Takaka and Murchison at 10am on Saturday.

People can also arrange to

register a special vote at the Richmond office on Queen St if they have not received their voting papers.

The office doors will be open from 9am to 12pm on Saturday for special or late hand-delivered votes.

Anna says the first “progressive” count should be available by about 1pm on Saturday with the preliminary result soon after.

The preliminary vote is usually enough to determine who has been elected unless voting is close and then the outcome will have to wait for the final result announced “a few days later”.

“Last election we had to wait until Sunday for the preliminary result but this year we are hoping it’s going to be earlier,” Anna says.

“We should have a progressive vote by around 1pm and the preliminary vote by Saturday

night.”

Anna says once the counts are finalised, the electoral officers contact all mayoral and council candidates and advise them of the results.

The results are then released to the media and posted on the council website www.tasman. govt.nz The ElectionNZ website showed on Monday this week that 31.98 per cent of eligible voters had lodged their votes.

That compares to 30.22 per cent at the same time in the 2013 election when 50.38 per cent of voters returned voting forms.

In 2010, 50.16 percent of voters registered a vote while in 2007 53.78 per cent voted.

Returns in the Golden Bay ward were highest at 39.21 per cent after Monday while 32.22 per cent had voted in the Richmond ward, 30.36 in the LakesMurchison ward, 30.17 per cent in the Moutere-Waimea ward and 33.33 per cent in the Motueka ward.

There are a total of 36,763 electors in the Tasman district.

Husband’s advice motivates trio to victory SpOrtS Jacob Page

Lindsay will replace Chelsea Routhan who finished in the role last month at the completion of the senior netball season. The former Netball New Zealand CoachForce manager for Central Zone will start her role on Monday, October 17.

Call it gentle encouragement or an outright threat, Richmond adventure racing trio Marjolein Edwards, Pam Morris and Jackie MacIntyre may have their husbands to thank for their race day success.

The team, which has raced the South Island Spring Challenge event together for six years, won the six-hour event at Golden Bay ensuring their husbands would be their support crew for one more year.

“The early years we raced and we were always there or there abouts,” Pam says.

“It wasn’t until our husbands sat us down and said unless you get on the podium we are going to be support crew for another team.”

The advice worked and they won the next event in Hokitika and got on the podium in Wanaka.

“We meet every Friday and train and sometimes at night during the week.”

Pam says each of them has clearly defined roles within the team and they enjoy each other’s company as well as the opportunity to see new parts of the South Island each year.

“We enjoy the training because it takes us to parts of the (Tasman) area that we otherwise would not run or bike through, then on race day you see some great parts of New Zealand that you wouldn’t normally otherwise see.”

The team will be on the start line again next year when the event moves to Geraldine.

“Once we realised the event was in Geraldine we were on-

line booking our accommodation within 10 minutes.”

Two other local teams did well at the event; First in the three hour school division was team DJK of Jessie Fa’avae, Kyla Rayward and Davis Sundbye. First in the six hour Junior Girls division was Team Trapped in the Map comprising Jess Alloway, Charlotte Tucker and Hannah Martin.

Stoke-Nayland favourites Jacob Page

With the new senior cricket season starting this weekend, all eyes will be on who can lift their game and take home the three premier competition trophies this season.

The Twenty20 and 50-over competition has been joined by a new 110-over competition which replaces two-day cricket.

In the first round of 110-over games Stoke-Nayland host Wakatu at Marsden Rec, Waimea Toi Toi welcome Wanderers to Lower Ngawhatu and ACOB travel to the same venue to face Nelson College.

Wakatu: Wakatu coach Richard Percy is keen for his team to show they are capable of winning at least one piece of silverware this season.

Richard arrived at the club midway through last season and observed areas the team needed to improve to go from being a middle-of-the-road team last season to contenders this season.

Veteran Laurie Kirdy has been given the captaincy as the team

“I think we had our moments last year but it’s a case of being more consistent and not giving up in games. “I think the 50-over competition is one that we can target to make a big impact and I believe with the playing group we have an expectation of winning one of the three competitions is a fair one.

Key batsmen Brad Smith, who

averaged just over 40 last season, and Matt Macquet, who averaged 44, both return, and Sussex cricketer Abidine Sakande will be the overseas professional.

Waimea Toi Toi: Waimea Toi Toi have lost their two spin options but otherwise have a very settled look about them this season.

Captain Jon Routhan says they are likely to have the same core of guys each week which means

they will rely less on second grade players and university students.

The team has lost Dan Wightman and Sam Field but have retained last year’s top batsman Mason Thelin, bowler Amit Dhiman and most improved player Matt Garguilo.

They are unlikely to have the services of Central Districts batsman Greg Hay as he looks to focus his efforts on the Stags campaign.

Jon, who will also play a key allround role, says his team is always there or thereabouts but would like to break their one-day final hoodoo.

“We’ve been in the one day final five out of the last six years, but I don’t think we’ve won one for about four years.

He said he expected the new 110over competition, which replaces the two-day competition, to level the playing field.

Stoke-Nayland: Stoke Nayland was the benchmark last year, claiming two of the three titles in a season of immense success in all three formats of the game.

Captain Ryan Edwards is back for another year but his wicket-keeping brother Ricky won’t be.

Ryan was named Nelson’s Cricketer of the Year at the end of season awards last season, an event Stoke-Nayland dominated by winning

While they have lost the services of Marty King, Ryan says with Dylan Eginton and Brad Duncan, the seaming stocks are looking good.

Athletic College Old Boys: ACOB player/coach Glen Baumfield says his team is looking for consistency They will look to have the services of Central Districts

player Marty Kain, and one on the verge in Josh Clarkson.

The new ball is likely to be shared between Liam Baird and Sunny Dhaliwal, with new faces Puneet Nanua and Shea Gillison.

Ben Gully, James Graham and Greg Chitty are likely to form a fair bit of their batting depth.

Nelson College: The schoolboys will once again

Wanderers: Wanderers were one day champions last season but to repeat the dose they’ll have to do it without two of their best batsmen.

Dan Cooper and Joel Harden have departed while Adam Leonard will be back in Mid-November.

Wanderers veteran Hayden Ingham and securing the services of Matt Cross will bolster the line up, as will seamer Andrew Beatson.

Hayden says the team was keen to continue their prominence in the short forms of the game but also believed the new 110 over competition would suit his team.

Waimea College girls basketball coach Ed Book is happy to play the long game when it comes to his team’s national aspirations.

The inexperienced team finished eighth in New Zealand after being crowned South Island champions a month earlier.

quarter-finals 91-59, then losing in overtime to New Plymouth Girls’ High School 77-73 despite scoring seven points in the last 40 seconds to send the game into overtime.

They had to settle for eighth after Melville High School turned around a pool play loss to Waimea.

“We went with a goal of top eight and we achieved that.

“If things had gone a little better we could have finished higher but we had eight girls playing at nationals for the first

time.”

The team only loses one player next year, so the chances of finishing higher in 2017 are good.

“We just need one more out and out scorer and that would have helped us through some of those tight games late in the piece.

“Overall I was really happy with the girls, I couldn’t fault their effort and they did everything I asked them to and they now know what it takes to be really competitive at a New Zealand level.”

Waimea College student Lily Mclean, 13, (pictured) won the level 5 competition when she represented the Nelson Rhythmic Academy at the Gymsports Nationals in Invercargill last week. Lily competed against the top 20 level 5 rhythmic gymnasts in the country at the championships and won with a score of 27.567 - she also won the the Kawarau Trophy. Lily was first in the freehand with 11.900 which was the highest score given in level 5 out of 60 routines. She was third in the rope with a score of 7.967. Lily and Waimea College’s Renee Macrae, 14, who won Level 8, are coached by Yvonne Bradley. Photo: Rhythmicpics Photography.

Ben Hunt sets sights on 2017 Jacob Page Nelson-born New Zealand rally driver Ben Hunt is making the most of time away from behind the steering wheel.

The 2015 New Zealand Rally Champion completed the national championship season before a knee injury riding dirt bikes meant his offseason plans, behind the wheel of his Subaru WRX STI doing a lot of testing, had to be rethought.

Instead, he's been watching his father Richard just complete Waitomo Rally on some of the old WRC roads.

Ben remains positive that the car has plenty more to give next season, having a further two years on his deal with the 2016 HYDRAULINK Subaru.

"It is hard to watch and be out from behind the wheel, but it's given me a chance to think and look at things from a different perspective.

"Hopefully I can make the most of the break."

Ben, who has relocated to Auckland in the hopes of further chasing his rally ambitions, says while the team still runs

"Because without them I'd still be a guy on a farm in Nelson doing club events."

Ben says, while a World Rally Championship drive is always the dream, the financial realities of trying to achieve it and follow in the footsteps of Geraldine's Hayden Paddon, make it tough going.

"It's always something that I aim towards and yes, that's the ultimate goal, Nelson's Ben Hunt in action during but funding is hard to get for Kiwis as the season, trying to defend his na- we just don't have the resources and optional rally title.

Darryl Bridge looks to build on success Jody ‘The Professor’ Scott

Tasman United’s marquee signing Paul Ifill proved he can still find the back of the net as the new national league side completed a 10-1 rout of Richmond Athletic at Jubilee Park on Saturday. Paul scored three goals while Scott Risdale and overseas signing Ermal Hajdari each netted twice as Tasman scored seven unanswered goals in the second half. Photo: Chris Symes.

There was no off-season for Nelson builder Darryl Bridge.

The production saloon driver has been busy down at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway during the winter months with hammer and saw in hand, in charge of the Nelson clubs maintenance programme.

Darryl has spent many hours repairing and improving the track facilities, new storage sheds are on the agenda now the brand-new pit canopy is up, walls and fences have been shifted while general tidying around the track has happened.

Last year at prize-giving, Darryl’s tireless efforts, including building the new toilet block, were rewarded with the Tony Coppell Memorial Trophy for Club Official of the Year.

Darryl had a successful production saloon season as well, winning the

club championships, overall season points in Nelson, and King of the Coast in Greymouth.

Recently he purchased a Suzuki Swift, which has only done a handful of meetings and is a work in progress, but Darryl feels that it will modernise the aging production saloon class.

His previous cars are all 1990s models while the Swift is a 2010, he still has last year’s Integra which will be piloted by Nicole Davey this year,.

Darryl’s introduction to speedway was crewing for a mate who raced a street stock car. He then got talked into buying his first production saloon. After four seasons of racing, the challenge this year is to put some laps into the Swift and see what it can do, There are a few trips planned to the likes of Blenheim, Ellesmere, Ashburton, and to defend his King of the Coast title in Greymouth.
