Guido Biggelaar didn’t have to think twice about donating his kidney. When his 25 year-old nephew Matthew Noakes’ two kidneys were “shutting down,” he was one of many family members to offer up one of theirs. A lengthy compatibility test later and Guido was the man for the job. Matthew first found out he was having kidney troubles when he got constant migraines working as a fencer in Australia. He finally got around to going to see his local GP and was immediately admitted to hospital because both kidneys had failed. “He didn’t even know it. His body had crashed on him,” says Guido. The kidney shutdown was due to a virus. “He was down to ten percent on both kidneys.” Guido says Matthew’s whole life had turned upside down and has now moved into real estate because he is unable to do physical activities. He is on dialysis for half a day, three times a week. The surgery will happen in Melbourne Hospital on January 17. Guido says he is happy to help out when his family is in need. “Making decisions like this isn’t hard for me. It’s not going to kill me. I’m fit and healthy, I love riding my mountain bike.

Public come to police rescue Nelson Police would like to thank members of the public who came to the assistance of a police officer who was being punched in the head by a man in Richmond last week. The officer was driving his patrol car on Salisbury Rd about 5:30pm when he witnessed a scuffle between the man and a woman and stopped to speak to the pair. The man verbally abused the police officer before punching him several times in the head. Members of the public came to the aid of the officer and the man was eventually restrained and handcuffed. Sergeant Craig Barker says he was very grateful that people had stopped and helped the officer out. An 18 year-old man appeared in the Nelson District Court and was charged with male assualts female and assualt on a police officer.

Built here, trucked down South Phillip Rollo
UP SHE GOES: An on-site office building is lifted by crane, prior to delivery to the West Coast. Sky Buildings believe similar scenarios would work for earthquake-ravaged Christchurch. Photo: Phillip Rollo.
What happens when a building can’t be built in earthquakeravaged Christchurch? – it’s built in Richmond instead. Skyline Buildings constructed an on-site office and smoko building with bathroom and amenities and within three weeks it was sent packing one way to the Red Dale mine in Reefton, a job usually given to builders in Christchurch. Stuart Flowerday says Skyline and Trubet have constructed buildings for schools in towns like Kaikoura, Maruia and Westport, but Christchurch’s situation could now become Nelson’s gain with the company stating the possibility of constructing buildings within the region and trucking them down via the Lewis Pass to Christchurch, as the city continues to rebuild. “I believe that any timber floor and framed buildings is a real option to construct here and truck it down,” says Stuart. “Everybody is too busy thinking about earthquake work. There is a lack of transportable-type buildings. A Portacom type building would normally be used in this situation, but there is limited availability in Christchurch.”
Stuart believes his company could truck down a building once a week if the demand was high enough. Stuart admitted their latest project, which was building an on-site office for an opencast coal mine on the West Coast, would never have come about if Christchurch hadn’t had the earthquake. “We see ourselves as an option for ready-made buildings going to Christchurch. We’re certainly an option to go to the Coast with more buildings, and while it looks expensive to lift a building with a crane, Nelson has the resources we can use. Our builders and sub-contractors don’t want to shift out of Nelson away from their families, we can build here, send a building off with the floorcoverings, painting, electrical and plumbing work all done by local contractors” Stuart says building them in Nelson is a much cheaper option than building on site, out of town. In the past they have had to send subcontractors down, clocking up ten hours just by travelling, which multiplies costs. The 9 x 6m building was driven down overnight last Thursday and was up and running by Friday.

I thought ‘this looks good,” he laughed. Benedict will head to the University of Canterbury to do an honours degree in mathematics.

School leavers create their own summer job When one Richmond school leaver couldn’t find a summer job, two of his closest friends took some initiative and created a business for him. Titled BAM, Ben Alder, Alex Davies and Mitchell Ross, all 18, have created a labouring specialist business where they charge just $10 for common, every day jobs around the house. Whether it be mowing the lawns, washing the car or even walking the dog, they are confident they are the cheapest option currently on the market. They will also do ‘per hour jobs’ like gutter cleaning, gardening, window cleaning, painting and others, on negotiation.
Ben says he was sick of having to shout Mitchell McDonalds, and he had been sitting on the business venture since he was 10 years-old, after his father told him to go around the neighbourhood seeing what jobs he could do for $10. “We were gonna give up on him because he was going to go on the dole. So we thought we’d give him one more shot and we’d try get him a job,” says Ben. “The main idea was to get him money and a job because he didn’t have one.” Ben is a full-time builder but will be the administrator for the business. “I take the phone calls,” he says. Alex works around 30 hours a week as a
roofer, but will also take any extra hours he can get. Ben says school leavers struggling to find work just aren’t looking in the right places and that they should be open to doing anything they could at their age. “There’s plenty of work out there. You just have to look hard enough,” he says. Post NCEA exams, the boys had spent the last couple of days handing out flyers advertising their idea to people in the community. The trio can also supply some equipment but charges may apply. To contact Ben, please call 547 3215 or 027 244 4194.

SANTA’S NEW RIDE: Peter Taylor and his daughter, Becs Adam, prepare to lead the Ulysses Club Toy Run riders into Nelson on Saturday. Photo: Phillip Rollo.
Toy Run attracts 300 More than 300 motorcyclists took to the streets of Nelson, collecting toys for the Salvation Army on Saturday. The Ulysses Nelson Toy Run is held each year and gives motorcycle enthusiasts a chance to give back to the children of Nelson. Each rider brought at least one toy along for the ride, while members of the public stood out on the road as a truck gathered them for collection. The route ran from Cambridge St in Richmond through to Trafalgar Park in Nelson, where the toys were handed over to the Salvation Army. Organiser Lorraine Lindsay says the turn out was down on previous years, when 500 people participated, but was still a great success with hundreds of toys being gathered. Twelve riders came from Hokitika.

An arty success for guide
The Nelson Arts Guide team from left; Nic Foster, Louise Allan and Annie Leather. Photo: Andrew Board.
NEWS IN BRIEF SUNSHINE SUPREME: With less than a month to go, the sunshine race appears to be over with Nelson holding onto an unassailable lead. Contenders Blenheim and Whakatane are too far behind, meaning Nelson will hold onto the title it won back from Whakatane last year, unless the weather gods pull a huge upset and park a rain cloud over our sunny region for the next four weeks. The most recent data from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, or NIWA, shows Nelson has had 2287.8 hours of sunshine this year, until the end of November. Over the same period Blenheim, in second place, has had 2191.3 hours and Whakatane in third has had 2188.4 hours. Nelson’s lead over Blenheim is 96.5 hours. The official sunshine stats won’t be released from NIWA until early January 2012. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING CLOSE TO HOME IN TAPAWERA: Have you heard about the new event that is happening in Tapawera? On December 10, there is to be a farmer’s market and Christmas Fair at the Hidden Café. The market and fair will start at 10am and be open until 5pm with a wide variety of stalls and produce available. The Hidden Café is located in a very attractive setting and this would be a very pleasant day out in the country. The idea was born after a group of local ladies visited the annual Christmas Fair at Culverden. There has been an enthusiastic response from people keen to have stalls showcasing their talent or produce, and all that is needed now is for lots of people to come and support this new initiative. SANTA WALK: The most ringing bells and best Christmas costume will win turkeys in the annual Classic Hits Jingle Bells Jog and Santa Walk on Sunday. The annual fun run/walk which is a family favourite and supports the local activities of the Heart Foundation starts in the carpark of the Trafalgar Centre and follows the waterfront to the beach. Registration opens at 9.15am with judging of the costumes just prior to the 10am start. Entry fee is $5 for individuals or $10 for a family.

Putting together the Nelson Arts Guide has been a heck of a task for three local artists, selling it hasn’t been anywhere near as difficult though. As of this week the guide has sold just under 2000 copies, almost half of the entire stock, in just three months. The guide is only published bi-annually so organisers are thrilled with the early response. “We had it released in time for the Rugby World Cup and that certainly gave us a great start,” says Nic Foster.” Now the group hope to see another 1000 copies go over the summer period and have added a couple of incentives to help tempt
locals into buying it. Each guide has a jacket with a special code; text that in and the winner will take home a Kate Gold bowl. Second place will win a night’s accommodation at Warwick House and there are also t-shirts to give away. Louise Allan says she hopes people will take advantage of the promotion and buy the guides for Christmas presents. “It’s a great gift; it looks great, a nice size and is designed like a coffee table book so can hang around for some time and it has so much great information in it too.” The guide, featuring 66 local artists, can be found in stores all over Nelson or by visiting www.nelsonartsguide.co.nz.

Planting a recyling lifestyle Murchison Area School is amongst 30 different schools throughout Tasman heavily involved in Paper4trees. Paper4trees is an environmental education programme that encourages schools and preschools to reduce the amount of paper and cardboard they send to landfill by setting them up with recycling systems and rewarding them with free native trees. Paper4trees is managed by the Environmental Education for Resource Sustainability Trust. Paper4trees is currently in over 3320 schools and preschools throughout New Zealand and since 2001 has rewarded schools with more than 70,000 native trees. EERST provides schools and preschools with 30 litre green plastic recycling bins for every classroom throughout the school, along with other resources such as recycling posters, recording sheets and certificates, all at no cost to the schools. These green bins are the key to the success of Paper4trees, as they are easy to use, they keep the paper and cardboard separate from the waste stream, the students can take charge, and

Forgotten school teacher not so forgotten afterall Phillip Rollo It was labelled ‘the immortal story of a forgotten Wakefield School teacher’. But for at least two Tasman residents, Annie Jessop certainly hasn’t been forgotten. Local historian John Dearing recently displayed a story pieced together by 45 postcards sent to and from Annie between 1906 and 1909, at the Richmond Library. The three year journey told a brief snippet of a regular woman’s life as a school teacher in the early 19th century. John is a postmark collector and noticed that a handful of the postcards he had been collecting were addressed to the same person. It was only Annie Jessop’s granddaughter Irene Rosser with historian John Dearing at then that he decided to look for more “Annie Jesher home in Mapua. John recently displayed a story of Wakefield School sops” in order to establish a story. teacher Annie Jessop through a series of historic postcards at the Rich- But the more he found out about Annie, the longer the wait grew without knowing whether mond Library.

She used to keep a lot of papers and Show giveaway. things, but I hadn’t ever seen so many postcards. I got more and more excited as I read them,” says Irene. John had heard of a handful of distant relatives who only knew of Annie as a great aunt, and was stunned to get the phone call from a woman claiming to be her granddaughter. “When Irene rang I was just knocked over,” says John. “I talked to a lot of people, but she was 302 Queen St, Richmond (next to Noel Leeming) gone.

Nobody had any record of her, other than in traditional school record books. John says the display was also about bringing Annie back to life. “I wanted to immortalize her. I sort of began to realize if I knew her, just from those little messages.” Irene was able to connect some missing pieces, including photos of Annie’s husband Ben Stratford, and confirming many things elluded to within the short messages on the postcards. It was suggested in the postcards that she was going to marry Ben, although she did have many suitors. “It’s good that it’s now backed up with substantial facts,” he says. Annie taught at Tophouse School just six years post the Tophouse murders, which John thought showed strength in her personality. “She was tough and I mean she did go to Denniston which was all rough and tumble.” The story gradually faded following Annie and Ben’s marriage, although Irene mentioned that she had lived her adult ages in Hira on her own farm, which was then passed through the generations. Irene has plenty of photos with Annie when she was a little girl, despite her deceasing when she was just six years-old. But she remebered her quite well. Annie always had a lot of paperwork and made her own soap. “But when you get older you wished you knew more,” she says. Irene has plenty of family throughout the country, including one sister that followed the family tradition of school teaching.

BMG Top Team final ready to roll
Business update The coolest gift idea has flown back into Richmond this Christmas. Helicopters R US is selling the presents everyone has been talking about. You only have to read it on the top of their wish-list. There are thirteen different models of remote controlled gyro helicopters, including two new Hawkspy models with built-in cameras, near HD quality. They film at 30 fps. Price ranges from $59 to $199, meaning you can score the hottest Christmas product on the market at affordable costs. Remote controls are included. Once you’ve made the purchase, you are ready to fly. There is a helicopter for everyone, some even fire missiles. They are simple to operate and they don’t require any flying skills whatsoever, having successfully been operated by five year-olds. They are popular with all ages, including recent a recent 85 year-old customer in a mobility scooter. They’re even popular with the ladies too. Who wouldn’t want a remote controlled helicopter for Christmas? They are the ideal gift for anyone and also work as a great stocking filler. Indoor helicopters can range up to 30ft, although distributor Richard

The Bowater Motor Group Top Team 2011 final looks set to be a fun and challenging day, as more than 150 competitors battle it out for the title. With competitors ranging from 8 years to 40 plus, enthusiasm and experience will be in abundance. The top four teams from each of the Motueka, Saxton and Murchison heats will compete for the title of ‘Top Team’ at the Moutere Hills Community Centre on Sunday 11 December. The action kicks off at 11am and following several hours of fun, testing team challenges the top open and junior teams will be announced by 2.30pm. Last year Motueka was the big winner with both the Junior and Open teams coming from the area. With neither of these teams competing Richard Di Leva flies one of his many remote controlled choppers. Di Leva says he has tested them up to 70ft high. The outdoor helicopters can range up to an incredible 300ft. They are very durable, with a 30 day guarantee, but Richard also does repairs and sells all the parts. He also does trade-ins on old remote controlled helicopters. Find Helicopters R US in the Richmond Mall today. Their operating hours are 9am weekdays and 10am on Sunday.
this year the field is wide open. Amongst the favourites have to be heat winners The Abyss Challengers, Bays Boating and The Lakers in the Open category. In the Junior category Nelson Intermediate, Charlies Angels and the Sizzling drumsticks will start as favourites. There are 12 great old fashioned games in which teams must pull chariots, push wheelbarrows, race with water–filled holey buckets, and much more. All teams compete over six games in the morning followed by another six games after lunch with each game against a different team. Bowater Motor Group is the overall sponsor and will have a representative present to award the Top Team 11 cup. For more information go to www.tasman.govt. nz/topteam
Just a thought...
Last night I had the privilege of watching Rihanna singing from the depth of her heart, students from Waimea Intermediate perform repeating eight times the result of selfish various items – yup it’s the season for end-of- decision making. She cries “you really hurt year functions. The talent was amazing – some me…you really hurt me…you really hurt me… of the young people had very powerful voices, you really hurt me…” Self-centred choices create some displayed skilled musicianship or dancing a pain that words can barely express. If you are competence – overall there was a high level of having a sudden rush of blood to the head and confidence.

Wrestling up a storm Phillip Rollo
Rhys Walsh and Duncan McDougall are Nelson’s sole SCW wrestlers. They are taking each other on this weekend at Marlborough Boys College. Photo: Phillip Rollo.
It takes a real man to enter a wrestling ring surrounded by 200 die-hard Blenheim fans exhausting their lungs as you are thrown around in a pair of yellow tights. But for Nelson’s Justice Sharpe and D-Mac it’s definitely worth the trip over the Whangamoa for. Rhys Walsh, aka Justice Sharpe, and Duncan McDougall, aka D-Mac, are Southern Championship Wrestling’s sole performers from the Nelson region, and they’re set to take on each other in the “King of Nelson exhibition match” at Rock ‘N’ Wrestle this Saturday at Marlborough Boys College Hall. Rhys says he originally began wrestling when he was trying to get into shape, and a friend “out of the blue” mentioned Blenheim’s SCW. The pair were trained by Nelson’s Sam Macmillan, who recently spent three months in Canada under the tuition of former WWE wrestler Lance Storm. “He taught us absolutely everything we know. Sam is like the perfect wrestling package, not to get really weird about it, but he’s tank, he’s got all the moves; he can do high flying, he can do power. He could manhandle me and I’m triple digit weight,” says Rhys. Wrestling Marlborough fighters on their home turf means the pair are often competing against the audience too. “You go out there and you never know what you’re
going to get from the crowd. You just have to go with it really,” says Duncan. There had been talk about bringing a show to Nelson, but without a ring trailer to carry it over here, it is currently unlikely. Although the duo would love a bit of home support every now and then. Rhys and Duncan have always wanted to be wrestlers since they were kids and they both have a joint admiration of WWE wrestler Chris Jericho. “Since I was a kid that’s all I wanted to do. Getting into the crowd is great. Working off their boos off their cheers.” Justice Sharpe’s signature move is the sit-down spine buster, while D-Mac finishes with a bridged Indian death-lock. But they are training regularly to perfect a catalogue of wrestling moves and techniques. Duncan says there is a lot of choice about future suitors, but it is not until you reach the United States of America that it starts paying off financially. “We’re lucky because technically we’re starting at the bottom. So anywhere for us, we can go to Wellington if we’re good enough, we can go to up to Auckland if we’re good enough.” Wrestling in Auckland is televised on a local T.V. channel. But first they must survive each other in the ring this Saturday at 6pm at the Marlborough Boys College Hall.

Kylie and Simon Collett proudly receive three awards at the Westpac Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Business Awards from the chief executive Dot Kettle, including the revered Westpac Supreme Business Award. Nothing can match the feeling of walking into your very own, custom built home. Multiaward winning Jennian Homes can assist you through every step of the way to make sure your new home is built to your specifications and budget. Boasting the most awards of any Master Builder in the Nelson area, Jennian Homes have recently been acknowledged at the Westpac Nelson Tasman chamber of Commerce Business Awards. They took out the Westpac Supreme Award, the Port Nelson Large Business Award, as well as the Wakatu Incorporation Innovation Award, not to mention coming in the top three for the customer service section, an award that they took out last year. Their recognition within the construction industry in addition to being acknowledged as a strong business overall should leave you assured that they are the right choice for your new home. Simon Collett, who founded the Nelson Bays branch of the national Jennian Homes franchise in 2001, is Nelson born and bred.
He grew up in Richmond and completed his building apprenticeship locally, starting his own building company at the ripe age of 21. His first venture was successful, building around 20 houses a year, and the skills he gained both in house construction and business ownership meant he was well placed when he moved on to bigger things with Jennian Homes. His building background and understanding of the industry have been fundamental in the growth and success of the Nelson Bays branch of Jennian Homes, and it’s not difficult to see how they have gained acclaim from the industry, their peers and their customers. To see what a completed Jennian Home looks like, you can visit their show home at 3 Daelyn Rd. Built in 2009, the home demonstrates one of the most popular house designs, which can be altered as you will to suit your vision of your perfect new home.

This won’t be a problem though; with

WINDOW ON WAKEFIELD WAKEFIELD COMMUNITY COUNCIL REPORT “Window on Wakefield” in the Waimea Weekly, was a great success - thanks to Sonia Emerson for her collation of the community news for it. We had a well attended meeting in November, with some discussion of roading and signage around Wakefield. We were delighted the Council has provided repainted entry signs to the South of the Village. We addressed the need for a rubbish tin near the BMX track and issues re weeding the area. Police mentioned that cycling along the footpaths is not legal and cyclists should stay off them. As always the danger to pedestrians and cyclists on the now very busy Church Hill Corner was raised. The painting of new white-lines is a priority, as is the placement of signs for both motorists to slow down, and for foot and bike traffic to take a detour up through the church footpath rather than risk the road. At the Village Green, this council - is volunteering to clean and paint the bollards holding the chains around the green, and the information board update appears imminent!! Spooner’s Range lookout has multiple ownership, but we are requesting they work together to reinstate the view we once had from there. We would value new members of the Community Council, and the next meeting will be at St Johns Worship Centre at 7.30pm on Tuesday 13 December. Councillors reminded us that roading and grasscutting etc is on a constantly reducing national budget, which we will have to adjust to. Policing was also discussed and we heard that the 24 hour police centre at Richmond is now based back in Nelson. Allan Wasley, Chair ST JOHN’S St John’s community garden has yummy fresh broadbeans, contact Allan/Jean if you’d like to buy some at very reasonable prices.
Upcoming Events and Dates Sunday 11 December - St Johns family picnic Sunday 11 December - BBQ and Christmas Carols at Faulkner Bush

One day we would love to own a van to help transport both the youth and the elderly from Wakefield to events further a field. If you know of any suitable funding sources, please let us know. We meet 6.30pm Fridays - contact Hayden 970 0777. WORSHIP SERVICES AND UPCOMING EVENTS If you’re in Wakefield or Brightwater, for a relaxed, friendly, social meal you couldn’t do better than the monthly get together at the Worship Centre at St. John’s Anglican Church in Wakefield. This event takes place the third Thursday of every month at midday. This past year the occasional pirate showed up at the meal, and the last lunch of the year was a beautiful High Tea with all the trimmings. But generally we just lay on hearty, seasonal meals you’ll enjoy bringing your friends along to. A gold coin donation is good. Meals start up again in the new year with the first meal on February 16. Make it a date! FAMILY PICNIC - St John’s family picnic is being held at Rabbit Island on Sunday 11 December at 1pm - All welcome. If you would like to come along phone Brenda 541 9413 or just turn up at 12pm on the day. CHRISTMAS CAROL SINGING AND BBQ - Community Carol Singing, BBQ and relaxed gathering at Faulkner Bush on Sunday the 11 of December. A great place to meet as families on a warm summer night to feast at the free BBQ at 6pm, yarn to others in the community, then share in the singing of Christmas carols in the park from 7pm.

WINDOW ON WAKEFIELD WAKEFIELD CONTINUES TO PRODUCE TOP TENNIS PLAYERS Tennis in Wakefield dates back to the 1880’s. There have been various courts and clubs formed and relocated over the decades and often in the early days would involve the social gathering of tennis players for afternoon tea and a game of tennis. THE WAKEFIELD TENNIS CLUB The Wakefield Tennis Club is again seeing a surge of activity and is still being seen as a social gathering for tennis players including 60-70 school aged kids enjoying a BBQ together most Friday afternoons, commencing annual home and away matches against Golden Bay Tennis Club and is also producing some of the best players that Nelson Bays has to offer. Ash Calder is currently number one woman in the Nelson Region and travels to Wellington and Auckland most weekends. Alex Hunt is the number one senior man, and he also travels to Wellington for interclub. Monique Hore won the girls Nelson Primary School tournament and Jordan Berry came a close second. Monique travelled to the South Island Primary Schools finals in Timaru. Marshall Hore won the Boys 8u Nelson Bays Grasshoppers tournament last week and Sam Smith received the Fair Play Award.

Waimea serve up double gold Phillip Rollo
Waimea College is the first school in 20 years to claim the junior boys and girls titles in the same year, at the South Island Secondary School Junior Championship last week. The two championship victories were made even sweeter thanks to the outstanding performances by the two year nine teams. The year 9 girls finished third, claiming bronze, while the boys were the only year nine team in the top 16 and finished a respectable eighth place. The year 10 girls’ success caps off a perfect run in 2011 where they didn’t lose a single game. The year 10 boys met rivals Nelson College in the final and beat them in straight sets, 25-16 and 25-21. The result turned the tide following a loss in qualifying for the tournament. Coach Peter Malthus says Nelson College cracked under the pressure. “Our boys served too well and hit too well. We had some stunning floor d[efence]. It was pretty impressive all round,” he says. Caleb Laing was the star of the show for Waimea, while Hugh Hendrickson and Justin Wehner showed plenty of strengths on the court. This was also the first time all season that Waimea College were able to field a full strength side. “It’s like having Richie McCaw but not having Dan Carter on the court. But finally in the final we had Richie and Dan.” The year 10 girls edged Nelson College for Girls in two very close sets, 25-22, 25-20, to win the girls division. Britanni Harrington showed class throughout the tournament. “They were very skillful and very focussed. Their serving and floor d was outstanding. They’re not a tall team, but they work around that.” Peter says the success proves volleyball has grown a certain culture throughout the school. “The year 9 team did really well because they’re obviously only year 9, so to finish third in the girls division, they’re a really good prospect for next year. The older players are always helping the younger players. We’re lucky that we’ve got some very good coaches. We’ve got more coaches than the other schools now and that makes a bit of a difference.”
GOLDEN GENERATION: Volleyball is at an all-time high at Waimea College and the year 10 boys and girls teams are evidence of that, claiming the South Island Secondary School Junior titles. The year 9 girls also finished third. It was the first time in 20 years one school has won both divisions. Photo: Phillip Rollo. Po tH StP iS oN Su e ND D t Ay o

November has generally been a month of missed fishing weekends due to windy weather which is typical for this time of year. Hopefully the weather will start to improve and looking at the long range forecast for this weekend, fine with light winds, boat ramps around the re-gion should see plenty of action. The water temperature is on the rise in Tasman Bay and fast approaching 18 degrees. If this continues the snapper will possibly start spawning in the next few weeks. There have been good snapper caught in the middle of the bay and once the fish spawn the slightly bigger fish will move in closer to shore, just in time for the holidays. Large schools of kahawai have been seen in the cut this week, and it would be well worth while to start trolling the Boulder Bank for kingfish from now on. Kenepuru has produced some large snapper in the last 2 weeks but fishing is still quite patchy.The Marlborough Sounds Area opens this month for Blue Cod on December the
This week’s picture features Kaleb McKay with a fearsome looking barracoutta caught in the Kenepuru last week. Not the snapper he was hoping for, but a good fight all the same. 20th. Below are rules pertaining to this area that everyone should be aware of when fishing there. Marlborough Sounds Area: This area will be closed to blue cod fishing for another two weeks, until 19 December (inclusive) each year to protect the core spawning season. For more information on the new rules and how they protect blue cod for future generations to enjoy, go to www.fish.govt.nz.

Roy’s Oddysey
Richmond stalwart honoured for lifetime contribution to sport
Phillip Rollo Roy Oddy’s blood is definitely red. The 79 year-old is set to be honoured with a Lifetime Contribution to Sport award at the NZCT Nelson Sportsperson of the Year award ceremony tonight, following a life creating the legacy of Richmond Athletic AFC. Roy was a centre-half for Nelson Athletic when the 4-2-4 formation was popular, three years after shifting from the UK to New Zealand. The club, which only had one senior team, played its home matches at Victory Square, before amalgamating with Richmond, which only had junior teams. Roy hung up his boots when he was 40 years-old, before moving in to the presidential role at Richmond Athletic, a spot he would hold for 24 years between 1964 and 1988, although he wasn’t president by choice. “They had an AGM and I didnt go, so I was voted president. It just came out of the blue, so I just stuck to it,” he says. But Roy enjoyed every minute of it and has made “hundreds of friends”. Roy has done everything for Richmond.

Business update Watch out Murchison – Here I come! Rowan Dron is heading to Murchison to installing My Freeview, HD digital television. And the best news is, right now he won’t be charging mileage to Murchison customers, so if you’ve been thinking of installing My Freeview now is a perfect time to do it. Rowan offers a choice of great deals depending on your individual requirements. Three different installation options are available and all options come with a new satellite dish, cabling and all labour and GST included. ‘The range of receivers available locally is increasing all of the time so now there is quite a variety to choose from,’ says Rowan. ‘Not everyone needs all of the technology that the top end options offer and will find the less expensive models will be more than sufficient. I’m happy to come and have a chat about what you need and recommend the best options for you.’ Rowan’s deals start at $500 which includes an entry level recordable, NZ made Freeview receiver through to an $850 package which includes a “MY FREEVIEW” HD
satellite receiver. When the digital switch over takes place the current free-to-air analogue signals are switched off and New Zealand will move to digital only television transmission. Freeview is the only way you can continue to get free TV and Rowan can look after the transfer for you. Because Rowan is a qualified and registered electrician he offers a complete package from a simple switch over for your current television, right through to installation of new TV’s, audio systems or home theatre packages, even installing new power points if you need them. Rowan will arrange for the transfer to Freeview to be a simple process and you won’t need to replace your current television set. There are no monthly fees and no contracts to access Freeview and you will be able to watch programmes with crystal clear digital quality and sound. With MyFreeview you’ll be in control of your TV viewing and will be able to pause, record and replay live TV to fit around your busy schedule. Phone Rowan today and he’ll get it all sorted for you.

ELF Cup heads south as drivers bite the dust Phillip Rollo
Round two of the ELF Super Cup wasn’t any sweeter for Nelson’s super saloon drivers. Nelson’s top two challengers, Ian Burson and Shane Carey, surrendered to the middle of the track before the night’s end, handing victory to the impressive Josh Boulton. Shane showed form of old as he demanded his way to the front of the 16-car field, sitting in second place during the 25-lap thriller. But losing a wheel on lap 17 dented his chances of catching the Christchurch driver and his night was over. The final race of the night was
not short on drama with four restarts keeping the crowd nervous. But Josh wasn’t to be denied, finishing ahead of Kane Lawson, Ray Stewart, Richie Taylor and lone Nelson survivor Mark Carey across the line. The ELF Super Cup has three rounds remaining, in Christchurch and Dunedin with the final scheduled round for Cromwell. Nelson speedway resumes in two week’s time on December 17 with the Xmas Xtravaganza, featuring the club championships for sidecars and superstocks, round two of the TQ midget champs and a hit-to-pass promotion for stock- The baby-faced assasin, Ian Burson, holds off the challenge of Shane Carey at the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Speedway on Saturday.

Wizards pull one out of the hat Steering down the barrel of a 249 run chase, Waimea College Wizards showed plenty of promise to claim a four wicket victory over Nayland College at Greenmeadows on Saturday. Nayland won the toss and elected to bat and off 43 overs they were all
out for a credible 248 runs, thanks to their captain Angus Riley who made 112 not out. The Wizards were convinced that they would not even get near Nayland’s total but a series of well-constructed partnerships saw them catch the target after 43 overs.
