Bank staff in shock after tragic accident A “terrible tragedy” has devastated staff at ANZ Bank in Richmond after one of their colleagues died and five others were injured in a horrific car crash when their minivan hit a truck on SH65 near Maruia on Friday night. The woman, who was a business banking manager at the Richmond branch but has not yet been named, died at the scene of the crash which occurred just after 9pm. Five other ANZ staff members from the Nelson-Tasman region were also in the van and two of them were taken by rescue helicopter to Christchurch Hospital with serious injuries, while three were taken to Nelson Hospital with moderate to minor injuries. ANZ spokesman Peter Parussini says a group of six staff from the Nelson-Tasman area, driving in a minivan, were involved in the crash. They were on their way to Hanmer Springs for their annual social occasion with other staff from Christchurch. “The accident was a terrible tragedy that took the life of a long-standing and wellliked colleague who was a business banking manager in our Richmond branch,” Peter says. “ANZ is a close knit company so many staff around the country are

Turf battle at Trafalgar Park Andrew Board Nelson’s largest musical concert and the region’s top football team are hastily arranging new venues after Nelson City Council decided to bring forward its scheduled re-turf at Trafalgar Park in time for next year’s All Blacks game. Opera in the Park and Tasman United were booked in for major events at Trafalgar Park early in the New Year but are now looking at alternatives after the council, owners of the park, decided to bring forward a re-turf of the surface by nine months. The Trafalgar Park pitch was badly damaged during the Tasman Makos and Auckland Mitre 10 Cup game in September, due to heavy rain. It has left the pitch in a poor condition and means that the council couldn’t guarantee the pitch would drain properly in a heavy rain.

So councillors decided to move the re-turf, closing the playing surface for about five months, which has forced some groups to scramble to find a new venue. Opera in the Park, which attracts thousands of people, will now be held at Saxton Field on the cricket oval in late February. Tasman United is due to play four games on Trafalgar Park in January and February and the park is the only ground in the region that meets New Zealand Football’s criteria – which means if they can’t play there they will be in breach of their licence. Football bosses described the decision by council last Wednesday as a “live grenade”. “We’re hopeful that the council will work with us in good faith and we’ll have a surface to play on, which is the number one criteria for the team,” says Tasman United general manager Clive

Beaumont. The pitch that is likely to get a makeover to bring it up to national league standard is Saxton Field’s number one football pitch, a ground that was also badly cut up during the South Island Masters Games, the same weekend that the Makos rugby game damaged Trafalgar Park. Tasman United chairman Mark Sheehan says it’s been a tough week trying to “get our ducks in a row”, but he is looking on the bright side. “The positive out of this is that we’ll end up with a better football pitch at Saxton Field and Trafalgar Park will be in top condition for next season.” Group manager of infrastructure Alec Louverdis says that there is money in the budget for work at Saxton Field, but if the cost is more than what’s in the budget then extra money will need to be

found. Relay for Life is another major community event that was booked to take place at Trafalgar Park. Nelson Cancer Society manager Michelle Hunt says the news gave her “some sleepless nights” when it was announced. Initially council suggested that Relay for Life, the society’s major fund-raising event, be moved to Saxton Field, however, Michelle wanted it to be central. “It’s much more accessible and we really want the public to come along.” So the event, on March 17 next year, has special permission from council. Teams will have to camp at either end of the field, rather than lining the sides of it. There is room for about 120 teams. It has also been reduced to a 12hour event rather than through the night.

Pedestrian injured by Queen St safety barriers Simon Bloomberg Reporter

our low, flat fee is a fair fee Uncompromising

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Safety barriers installed to protect pedestrians and businesses from machinery, dust and noise during the Queen St upgrade are proving almost as dangerous as the work hazards. The Waimea Weekly learned on Monday that a Richmond woman had been injured when one of the safety hoardings opposite Cambridge St was blown over by a gust of wind on October 2. Although contractor Downer logged the incident in a health and safety report to the Tasman District Council, it was not made public. Council and Downer have now conceded that it was the third time that the safety barriers or fences have been blown over by the wind. The solid hoardings had earlier been strengthened after being “dislodged once before”, while a 20m section of safety fencing opposite the library had been also blown against the shops – fortunately that incident occurred at around 5am on a Saturday when no pedestrians were on the footpath. Council’s senior projects manager Jeff Robinson says the sol-

The new safety fencing that has replaced the solid hoardings on Queen St. id hoardings were immediately replaced by open fencing after the woman, who cannot be named, was injured. Jeff says the woman received cuts to her hand and some bruising and was escorted by Downer staff to the medical centre and her husband contacted. Jeff says a senior council staff member visited the women’s house the next day with flowers. Downer have also visited the woman and paid all medical costs. Downer’s project manager Thomas Maw says they have worked with the injured individual, providing immediate first aid and ongoing medical support over the past few weeks “and that support is still ongoing”.

Ph 541 9667 “On the rare occasion when our work impacts a member of the public, Downer takes this very seriously and we work alongside the individual and their family to provide assistance and support.” Thomas says the “three unfortunate instances on our site over the past month where site barriers have blown over in strong winds” have been fully investigated to “understand the cause of the incident and rectify an appropriate solution”. He says the solid hoardings were installed to reduce noise and dust for pedestrians and local businesses during the construction upgrade, but have now been replaced by “more open fencing to protect pedestrians accessing the area.”

Big boost for Child Cancer Foundation Simon Bloomberg The Child Cancer Foundation Nelson’s volunteers, staff and patients all helped their team get across the line and win the Home By Orange Charity Build that next year will be worth thousands of dollars to the foundation. Homes By Orange launched its Charity Build fund-raiser in August when it announced it would build a $258,000 house at Katania Heights near Brightwater for cost and donate the proceeds from the sale to charity. The Child Cancer Foundation was this week named as the supreme winner by a people’s choice with 1293 votes and will receive all the profits when the house is auctioned next year. But it was a close call with the Nelson SPCA finishing second by the narrowest of margins and Child Cancer Foundation’s newest ambassador Lauren Neal, aged nine, and her mum Susanne say the foundation’s win was a real team effort. Susanne says they spent two Saturday’s with the foundations national fundraising coordinator Michelle Berryman and volunteers in the Richmond Mall, collecting votes for the people’s choice competition. “We got around 250 votes the first day and 300 on the second, so it probably made all the difference,” Susanne

Lauren also celebrated her first anniversary of finishing her treatment for leukemia after bat-

tling the disease for two years. “We are very happy. It’s been a great day for us,” Susanne says. Homes by Orange managing director David Orange says they are “really thrilled” for the Child Cancer Foundation, which does such great work in the region. David says the foundation provides strength and comfort to families, parents and children impacted by child cancer, in a

whole raft of ways. “They will be able to put the funds to good use,” he says. Nelson SPCA and the Fifeshire Foundation, which had the third most votes, both received a $1000 donation from Homes by Orange. General manager Jo Neale says they will build and auction the popular Pohutukawa home plan, with all proceeds going to the Child Cancer Founda-

tion. The house will be built at cost and Jo says suppliers will be challenged to help keep construction costs at a minimum to increase the proceeds for the charity. The team was “overwhelmed” by the public response to the competition which attracted almost 2600 votes, he says. The house is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

Sheep sale prices hit record high

Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Sheep and beef farmers around the Tasman district are enjoying a “seasonal peak” in the market with mutton prices reaching astronomical highs at last week’s Brightwater sales. A pen of four ewes sold by PGG Wrightson on behalf of Eighty Eight Valley farmers Robert and Jeanette Buchanan went for a record $179 each to top a small yarding of sheep. PGG Wrightson regional livestock manager Peter Tayor says that’s $70 more than the sale’s previous high for ewes recorded three months ago. “That’s easily the highest mutton prices I’ve seen in 41 years in the industry,” Peter says. “The prices for store hoggets and store ewes are strong because of the export demand, but there’s also a shortage of store cattle so they are selling well, too.” Peter says that’s a stark contrast from “20 or 30 years ago when Cyril Page was the manager of the freezing works and was telling farmers to dig a hole and bury their ewes because he couldn’t sell the product”. Peter says last season’s lambs were also selling well with one pen going for $147 each while a pen of seven ewes with lambs at foot went for $103 per unit. Peter says a pen of “well-reared six month old Hereford-Friesan cross calves sold for $800 each which was about $100 more than last season. A good pen of yearling Angus cross heifers, weighing around 330kg each, sold for $1080. Although prices are strong, Eight Eight Valley farmer Ian Parkes says the record highs won’t last. “It’s positive for famers and they need to grab it while they can because it’s only a seasonal high,” Ian says. “The ewe prices are the highest I’ve ever seen but lambs will fall back by $10 to $15 when the new season’s lambs come on stream next month.” Ian says a strong demand for mutton was the result of the combination of a shortage of livestock on the European market and “the freezing works trying to spread the kill”. Alliance’s Stoke plant manager Terry Kreft says they have been busy processing last season’s lambs and ewes after starting the season in late July. The plant is presently operating two shifts, although the night shift was not yet at full capacity. Terry says they are experiencing a slight lull between the old and new season’s lambs that will last two to three weeks, but will soon be “flat out” when they start processing for the Christmas chilled order to go to Europe. He expects this season to be a bumper one with “plenty of feed about”, allowing farmers to grow their lambs to premium weights.

Menzshed helping protect native birds Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The volunteers at Menzshed Waimea are finding their latest conservation project far more challenging than building pest traps to help protect endangered flora and fauna around the Tasman district. Menzshed Waimea has been making hundreds of pest traps for the region’s conservation groups to help protect native birds and lizards. But now they are diversifying their conservation portfolio, building four nesting boxes for the kaka breeding programme at Natureland. And that’s not as easy as it sounds with kaka proving to be very destructive nesters. “The wood in the nesting boxes only lasts one breeding season because the parents strip the wood off with their beaks and use it to line their nests,” Menzshed’s Alan Kissell says. “So, we are trialling a design that has a removeable wooden sleeve that sits inside the main trunk of the nesting box which is made from a PVC pipe. “We have to use untreated timber that’s glued together using wood-

Photo: Simon Bloomberg. en dowels. The birds would be poisoned by treated timber and they’d damage their beaks on any nails”. The kaka are being bred at Nelson’s Natureland in collaboration with Project Janszoon, a privately-funded conservation project in

the Abel Tasman National Park. The boxes have been designed by Nelson’s Kathryn Marshall with help from Waimea Menz Shed volunteers and some expert advice from ornithologist Peter Gaze. The boxes have to replicate kaka’s nesting habitat in the wild

which is usually a hole in a tree, making adult females and the eggs and chicks very vulnerable to predators. Menzshed are also helping wild populations of kaka by building pest traps for the Department of Conservation to be set in the

Flora Stream catchment in Kahurangi National Park. The consignment of 340 traps sent to DOC last week is the latest in hundreds of traps Menzshed has constructed for conservation groups around the region. DOC biodiversity ranger Jeff Campbell says the ‘DOC 150’ traps are specially designed and built to catch mustelids (stoats, ferrets and weasels) which are a big problem in the Flora. The mustelids need to be trapped because they prey on native birds including kiwi and blue duck, as well as native lizards which are found in the Flora. “There’s already 1100 predator traps from the Flora car park to the Cobb Valley because there are so many species up there,” Jeff says. “There’s blue duck, kiwi, kea, kaka, gecko and skinks and they all need protecting.” Jeff says the traps have been made so that inquisitive native birds “can’t get inside or stick their beaks into the traps” to get the bait. They will be set and maintained by the community conservation group Friends of Flora which works alongside DOC to protect endangered plants and animals in the Flora catchment.

Children’s fishing ponds open for the season Judene Edgar Two hundred rainbow trout were released into the Waimea River Park fishing ponds this week in preparation for another great summer of youth fishing. The Sports Fishing for Youth Charitable Trust hosts regular fish-out days at the ponds providing children with the guidance and equipment they need, plus the fish, to have a fun fishing outing. Volunteers and members of the Nelson trout fishing club act as guides to show the children how to use the equipment and, if they are lucky enough to catch a fish, how to fillet it. The fish-out days are generally limited to children between the ages of five and 17, who get the chance to catch one fish during their hour. Trustee Ian Kearney says that it’s a great opportunity for young people and for families. “We had more than 400 children participating in the guided fish-out days last year,” says Ian. “It’s great to see parents and grandparents coming along and watching their children while they try to catch a fish.” Fish-out days have been or-

ing the ponds open for winter fishing, thanks to support from Nelson Marlborough Fish and Game, who work closely with the Trust. Manager Rhys Barrier says they continued to visit the ponds over winter, providing assistance and advice to participants. “With the mild winter, the ponds were used quite often,” says Ian. The ponds are maintained with assistance from Pub Charity and the Lion Foundation who have provided funds for weed control and paths and ramps to make the ponds more accessible for youth and the disabled, and the

Musical celebration marks 160 years Jessie Johnston Upper Trafalgar Street came to a standstill on Saturday morning as Nelson City Brass marched to the foot of Nelson’s Church Steps. They were met by Mayor Rachel Reese and vice president of the Brass Band Association of New Zealand, John Sullivan, both of whom congratulated the band on their 160-year anniversary. The celebration continued on Saturday evening with the Nelson City Brass trombone player Daniel Wilson during the band’s march to band performing the world the Church Steps on Saturday morning, part of the band’s 160-year anniversary premiere of a composition entitled Tasman Bay, which celebrations.

was commissioned for the anniversary, at their Gala Concert in Nelson’s Theatre Royal. The band was also joined on stage by special guest artist Jackie Clarke and champion euphonium player Steve Miles. Nelson City Brass secretary Wayne Jennens says the band was humbled by the support it received on Saturday. “It was a fantastic weekend, we had a good crowd turn out to watch the street march and then we had a full house for the concert, which was excellent.” Nelson City Brass Band is

one of the oldest bands in the country and was formed as part of the region’s military services in 1857. While the title of the oldest brass band in New Zealand isn’t official, it is most definitely one of the best bands in the country after winning the national C grade competition for the second consecutive year in May. Next up on Nelson City Brass’s calendar is a Christmas concert at Nelson Cathedral on December 9. For more information on the event, check out their website at nelsonbrass.org.nz/events.

Airport car parking shakeup Charles Anderson All vehicles heading into Nelson Airport will soon have to go through a barrier arm as its redevelopment starts to take shape. From early December, access to the terminal will be through barrier arms located at a central entrance on Trent Drive. Nelson Airport CEO Rob Evans says

moving the barrier arm will give the redevelopment project more flexibility. “It means we won’t need to move the barrier arms each time there is a significant change.” The airport will be using new technology to allow entry and exit with the options of PayWave and credit card as well as the standard ticket dispenser. The airport has been trialling new advanced car park management systems for the past year.

However, the first 15 minutes will still be free, allowing pickups and drop-offs without charge. There will be a $1.50 per hour charge, capped at a flat daily rate of $10 for all parking. Car parking pay stations will remain at the main entrance to the terminal building. In addition, there will be a new pay station installed just before the final exit barrier. “It’s important that customers who will be parking at the

airport allow some additional time, as parking areas will be stretched through the upcoming peak season,” says Rob. Rob says stage A of the main terminal floor slab and the new control tower structure will also be completed in early December “We appreciate the disruption the building works can cause, but the final result will be something that the Nelson Tasman region can be very proud of.”

Nelson seafarers to pay respects Charles Anderson A delegation of Maritime Union members from Nelson have commissioned a memorial shield to take to the seventh anniversary of the Pike River Mining disaster on November 19. Maritime Union Nelson president Bill Lewis said the seafarers would journey to Blackball to honour the memory of the 29 miners who died in the disaster. “We have friends and fraternal connections within the mining community,” Bill said. “Any progress has been made from those at the bottom, not at the top. Hopefully, that is about to change.” Some of the families of the men who died in the disaster welcomed

the new government’s hope of returning their loved ones’ bodies. Labour, NZ First and the Greens, the parties that make up the new government, announced their support for manned re-entry into the mine. “We offer sympathy and support to the families of the miners,” Bill said. “We too, along with many others, have a sense of outrage about the callous treatment of the affected families … there is now a refreshing feeling that truth and justice will be achieved.” The shield features the names of the Pike 29 along with a miner’s lamp fixed at the top. It will be placed on the memorial wall at Formerly the Blackball Hilton.

Real Hope For Long Term Back Pain Sufferers

After almost ten years in New Zealand, Teeter Hang-Ups have now gained a reputation for success with long-term sufferers of Back pain. Inversion New Zealand was started by Dave and Nancy Hare, Dave had suffered over twenty years of back pain from Degenerated Discs and had basically given up and decided to just live with it. “To me surgery was never an option” he said “as long as I still could walk, there was hope”.

was something I had never heard of sorting it out for me in a very short period of time” It was then Dave decided to introduce Teeter into New Zealand and Inversion NZ was born.

Come along to one of our expos and see how it works for yourself! (See red bar for details). If you have completely resigned yourself to having back or neck pain for the rest of your life, then chances are you will be pleasantly surprised.

Over the years INZ have helped thousands of people get some serious relief and have seen results in not only backs, but necks, hips, knees, posture, circulation, increased height, blood pressure and lots more.

TESTIMONIAL

Dave had tried everything; every time he was overseas he would search for anything that could possibly help. While on one of these overseas trips ten years ago, Dave discovered the Teeter Hang-Ups. “The first time I tried it, the pain disappeared and I was completely pain free for about 30 minutes, nothing had done that” he told me. Dave never believed it would fix him, “as specialists had told me it was irreversible, I now knew I had a place to go every time I wanted some serious relief”.

“We have testimonials from people with over fifty years of back problems and even have them in a number of schools in New Zealand for their special needs children” he told me, “the blood to the brain helps these kids and the results are excellent” What this means for the aging population is that it helps maintain the health of the brain as we all get older.

To Dave’s surprise the more he used the table the longer the pain stayed away, until after nearly three months he was completely pain free, “I couldn’t believe it’ he told me “I had spent large amounts of money on every form of treatment available and here

Dave told me that he realised that, had he not tried the Teeter for himself he would still be suffering, “I would still be a miserable grumpy bugger, living with pain, that is why we do the shows, people need to try it for themselves” he told me “most people actually get off with the pain either gone or considerably less” he said “we let the tables do the talking”

DEAR DAVE AND NANCY

In 2008 I had been living with a serious lower back pain for many years due to two discs with serious degeneration and was scheduled for a double spinal fusion at a cost of $48,000. The Specialist had recommended many lifestyle changes including changing my profession, which was not practical as I own my own business. At the Waikato Home Show I experienced a demonstration on a Teeter Inversion Table by Dave and Nancy Hare. To me the effect was amazing, I actually experienced some serious relief which lasted for an hour or two, I was told that the relief would last longer with time as long as I used the table regularly, so with the surgery scheduled for 12 weeks time, having nothing to lose and a lot to gain I purchased a Teeter. Four years on I still use my table on a daily basis, my back is as strong as ever with very little or completely no pain, I am still at my same profession and working as hard as ever and most importantly I did not have the surgery. I consider the purchase of my Teeter has been one of my greatest investments, not only has it enabled me to avoid serious and costly surgery, it has kept me in my profession and it has brought my health back. Thank you very much for the opportunity.

IT IS PURE LOGIC AS TO HOW THE TEETER TABLE WORKS

Discs: It

uses gravity to apply traction, the traction gently opens the discs and as they open up they create suction, this suction draws fluid from the surrounding tissue back into the discs, re-hydrating them. This is the key! Discs do not have their own blood supply, they rely on transfer of fluid from the surrounding tissue to keep them healthy and hydrated and over the years as discs get thinner with age, they lose the ability to take on fluid (just like squeezing a sponge) and they start to de-hydrate.

Very best regards Paul Gordon Cambridge

Frank Harwood (84) of Turangi using his Teeter, Frank has been Inverting for over eight years and has found it keeps him young

Posture: Poor

posture is one of the major cases of pain and is a major contributor to the deterioration of the body with age. A difference in leg length causes most of the hip and knee issues, as they continue to place uneven loads on the joints; similar to the wheels out of alignment on your car. Trying to correct posture is extremely difficult due to muscle memory, as it constantly pulls the muscles back to where they were. At a level of 40 degrees or more on the Teeter, the muscle groups open up and eventually come back into alignment, using the table daily, does not allow the muscle memory to pull them back out of alignment and slowly the muscles start to lose their memory and go with the flow, allowing the body to come back into correct posture. Then using the table once a day will ensure it is kept there.

De-Hydrated discs are less flexible, they are harder, more prone to injury, they interfere with nerve roots creating pain and ultimately the de-hydration causes degeneration. The Teeter Inversion table slowly and gently brings the hydration back into the discs, plumping them up. This brings back lost height (most people will regain around 2 CM of height), it separates the nerve roots far more effectively and returns This is pure logic, if a machine is out of quality of life alignment it does not last long, the only difference between the body and a Muscles: A lot of pain is muscular, when machine is that the body is constantly muscles are stressed they become tight repairing itself, however if the wear and which restricts the flow of blood and lymph tear on the body is greater than the body’s through the muscles so toxins build up, ability to repair itself, it is a slow decline.

BACK

NECK PAIN?

Come along for a free treatment Here in New Zealand, Dr Giresh Kanji, one of the countries most respected Pain Specialists completed a PhD on how humans experience pain and then researched lower back pain, writing "Fix Your Back" and then spent a few years researching neck pain, headache and migraine and wrote "Fix Your Neck Pain, Headache & Migraine", both books are in most bookstores. Dr Kanji discovered in the research that the disc is the most likely source of low back pain and Inversion showed the best results of all the trials conducted. Three studies showed a 60% reduction in pain and one showed a 75% reduction in surgery for people with disc prolapse.

Inversion helps to: • Relieve Back Pain • Relieve Neck Pain • Relieve Muscle Tension • Stimulate Blood And Lymph Flow • Improve Posture • Increase Flexability • Reduce The Effects Of Ageing Caused By Gravity

Dr Kanji has personally been using the Teeter Inversion tables for his own low back pain, has Teeter Inversion tables at both of his clinics in Wellington (The Sports and Pain Clinic) and has had such success that he is now conducting the largest study in the World on Inversion Therapy. In his own words, "these things are gold and inversion should be a first line treatment for low back pain”.

The historic mural on the Wakefield pharmacy wall has become a focal point for locals and visitors alike, but now the community is needed to rally to help save it. Unsurprisingly, the 17-yearold mural is a little worse for wear, but a proposal by the Wakefield Community Council to replace the mural has seen the original mural team, Evie-Joy South and Heather and Stuart Watts, join forces once again. “We never thought 17 years ago that we’d be back together, but we’re loving working together again,” says EvieJoy. “We know the council had trouble finding people to step up and restore it, but we also know how important it is to the community and didn’t want to lose it, so we decided to take it on.” Stuart says the original idea for the mural came about because of population growth. The trio, along with former resident Arnold Clark, thought that a mural would be a great way to recognise and remember the village’s history. “As Wakefield grew, a lot of people didn’t know the local history,” he says. “The mural epitomises eve-

rything that Wakefield was founded on – hops, the train, school, church, forestry and, of course, Edward and Mary Ann Baigent, who essentially built the village,” says EvieJoy. The trio have truly hit the ground running. In little over a month they have raised $6000 towards their target of $15,000, and have secured the services of former Wakefield resident, artist Peter Madsen. Peter, who is perhaps best known as one of the Madsen Brothers singing group, is a signwriter and landscape artist. And he also just happens to be close friends with the mural artist Gary Oldham, who was unfortunately unavailable to help with the restoration. “Wakefield is a special place for me and it’s good to keep its history alive,” says Peter. “Gary has done such a good job and I want to do justice to the job and honour what he’s done.” The trio are also planning to add an historic panel explaining the different elements within the mural. “A lot of people don’t realise the train used to run through Wakefield, so it will be good to provide more context to the mural,” says Evie-Joy. With Peter preparing to start

Evie-Joy says. Anyone interested in supporting the mural restoration can contact Heather & Stuart Watts on 541 8151 or Evie-Joy South on 541 8980. A donation box is also available in the Wakefield Pharmacy to help raise funds towards the project.

After a long day at work, he crashed his motorbike on Dovedale Rd, Upper Moutere, going around a bend. “I tried to get up after the crash, but my legs didn’t work, but I didn’t really think much of it at the time,” says Ryan. It was perhaps fortuitous that the person who found him was Mark Perry, who himself had been in a serious accident so was able to keep Ryan calm while waiting for the rescue helicopter to arrive. “When I tried getting up again

I remember thinking at the time, ‘if he’s okay then I will be’,” says Ryan. “I didn’t realise at the time that he had one leg missing.” Ryan credits his parents, his mates, and girlfriend, for their unwavering support. “They really kept me going and kept me in a positive mindset.

The keen motocross rider, kayaker and hunter, who was in the process of joining the army at the time of his accident, spent three months in the Burwood Spinal Unit in Christchurch having broken his spinal cord. Paralysed from the waist down, he was determined to get home and back to “normality” as soon as possible. Back home, he was using the gym at the Motueka Recreation Centre every day and was lucky enough to secure a job at the Centre as part of the school holiday programme. “It was really hard at first because I didn’t have a lot of stamina and got tired easily,” says Ryan. Sport Tasman facilities manager Brent Maru says what Ryan calls “a break”, was actually a great opportunity for them, and that the kids really enjoyed having Ryan there and respected him. “We didn’t employ a guy in a wheelchair, we employed Ryan because he’s driven, a great motivator and inspirational,” says Brent. This opportunity gave Ryan the new direction he was seeking, so he completed an accredited personal training course through the NZ Institute of Sport. Only 18 months after a life-changing accident, Ryan has now started working at Snap Fitness in Richmond as a personal trainer and is keen to build his client base. “We all have our journey and I want to help people to be the best they can be.” Anyone interested in personal training can contact Ryan on 028 409 5308 or e-mail him at ryan.gibb30@gmail.com.

Problem solvers off to America Saturday th november Judene Edgar

Three teams from Nelson spent their weekend tackling identify theft as part of the national Future Problem Solving competitions in Auckland, with the year seven team coming home victorious. Future Problem Solving (FPS) is part of an international educational programme, available as an optional subject within schools, that develops creative, critical and caring thinking skills in students. Students grapple with global and community issues, identifying underlying problems and creating positive solutions to those issues. At the national competition teams were given a futurefocused scenario where biometric identify theft was rife. They then had a limited time in which to identify the prob-

lems, choose the best solution and then develop and present an action plan as to how you could practically implement the solution. At the end of the competition the year seven team from Nelson Preparatory, comprising Ollie Taylor, Preston Holder, Fergus Richards and Tom Lynch, won their division securing themselves a place in the international competition in America next year. “Oh my gosh, it’s just so incredibly amazing,” says captain Ollie Taylor. “The pride I have to represent New Zealand in something like this is truly … I’m just lost for words.” Teacher Sarah Watts says she was so proud of them and that seeing their faces when they were announced the winners was such a highlight. “Those boys worked really

hard, were really committed, and were aware of the amount of work required to win.” Sarah has been teaching FPS for eight years and in that time she has taken 11 teams plus two individuals to the international competitions. At the award ceremony on Sunday, her outstanding contribution was also recognised with Sarah receiving the supreme award for excellence in FPS teaching. “It was such a wonderful honour and a surprise, a truly special moment,” she says. The international competition is to be held at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse June next year where the boys will be competing against students from Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Portugal, Singapore, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Just a thought... Pastor David Jensen Richmond Baptist Church We live in uncertain times with escalating crime, violence, earthquakes and other natural disasters, not only here in New Zealand, but worldwide. Most people have catered sufficiently and adequately for their needs, but some have overlooked one very important insurance - life after death. While life on Earth offers many choices, eternity offers only two, heaven or hell. Now it’s important to understand that God doesn’t want any of us to go to hell (a place that Jesus made clear was devoid of hope, love, friendship or joy). However, he has given every single one of us the right to choose our own eternal destiny. God has, to a large degree,

been misrepresented by those who don’t know him. He is not angry and vengeful but he desires to enter into a loving relationship with you because he loves you and cares for you. His desire is not only that you will be with him forever in heaven when you die but he wants you to live an overcomer’s life whilst here on earth. Jesus said that “He came that we might have life - life to the full”. He knows the things which you are struggling with and he will give you victory in every area of your life - if you will put your trust in him. Now the Bible tells us that there is a problem, our sin has separated us from God. This is not what God wants and so he did something utterly amazing. He sent Jesus to us on a rescue mission. Jesus entered into our mess, he brought life-giving truth

to us, he proved who he was with many powerful signs, wonders and miracles. He lived a life of perfect love and righteousness and then he died a death he didn’t deserve (a criminal’s death on a cross). Jesus didn’t just die, he died for you. You see, in the most amazing act of love, Jesus chose to die in your place. Friends on the cross, Jesus bore our sin and faced the just judgment we deserved so we could be reconciled to God. He did this to set us free so that we could know God’s abundant life, both now and into eternity. The ball is now in your court. We encourage you to turn away from living life independently from God, turn to him, trust him as your lord and saviour and receive his forgiveness so you can know life here and now, and for eternity.

Runners start the half marathon at the Nelson Shoe Clinic Festival of Running at Saxton Field on Sunday. Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport.

Festival of Running super popular And the festival was a perfect event for all abilities with a run or walk in half marathon, 10km, 5km and 2.5km courses around the cycle trail. The age of competitors was almost as varied as their speed with schoolchildren running or walking alongside veterans like M70plus Tony Cutten, who recorded a respectable 2hr 08min 38sec in the half marathon won by Phil in 1hr 13min 45sec. Phil says he was pleasantly surprised by his time after expecting to run “around 1hr 15min if things went well.”

Five hundred and eighty-five runners and walkers of all speeds and ages converged on Saxton Field Athletics track on Sunday for the Nelson Half Festival of Running. Although Appleby’s Paula Canning and running’s answer to the Energizer battery, Phil Costley, injected some genuine class into the event, the speedsters were outnumbered by hundreds of fun runners and walkers.

“I don’t train anymore, I just maintain. I realised my last serious run was the Kaiteriteri Gold Half Marathon (in March) when I got out my race shoes and they had sand in them. “So, I was surprised by my time. I came around the corner into the track and saw the clock and thought that’s not bad.” Multisport star Elina Ussher won the women’s half marathon run in 1hr 32min 6sec with Dave Leahy winning the men’s half marathon walk in 2hr 32min 4sec. Terri Grimmett won the women’s in 2hr 32min 4sec.

Stoke just sneak home in tie-breaker A heavy-weight clash between the region's two top softball teams was marked for its lack of big hitting. Stoke Eagles and Waimea Eagles battled to a 0-0 draw after seven innings at Saxton Ballpark on Saturday, forcing the game to a tie-breaker. The tie-breaker starts an inning with a runner on second base, Stoke was able to convert the head-start by batting in a run. Waimea couldn't match them and lost the game 1-0. Despite the quality of the game, the two Eagles teams are the only two competing in this year's Nelson premier grade. This weekend both teams will travel to Marlborough to compete with its premier teams in a mixed competition. Derryn French says it's a shame that numbers aren't higher. "But we seem to have these cycles. Our reserve grade and women’s competition are okay but, while the quality is good, the numbers aren't so good for the premier men’s competition."

Nelson claims Lucas Cup on a countback

Nelson has won the Lucas Cup, but it needed a countback to do it. Sunday’s Lucas Cup senior tennis fixture against Marlborough proved to be one of the closest matches yet in the cup’s 68 year history, producing some of the best tennis seen in Nelson for a while. After 16 games of singles, doubles and mixed doubles the scores were tied at 8 matches each, the set scores were also tied at 17 each which meant the cup was decided on which province won the

most games – Nelson did, 151 to 141. The fixture delivered outstanding play. Nelson Tennis Club mates David Averill and Paul Muncaster played first men’s doubles against a strong Marlborough combination of Albie Hailes and Hamish Morrow, with the hosts prevailing 6/1, 6/7 6/0. Marlborough pair Kyla and Jade Otway gave Farrah Richards and Holly Mace a testing first leg in the doubles. The local pair rose to the occasion, giving the Marlborough siblings a run for their money in the first set, the Otway’s powering off with a couple of break of serves to take the second and the win 7/5, 6/3. The pivotal set in the fixture had to be the singles between Nelson’s Taylor Bianco and Dave Sandford of Marlborough. With Marlborough up 4 to 3 in the singles leg, Bianco and Sandford were the last players out on the singles courts. The pair playing a mammoth game with accurate baseline shots, consistent cross court placing of the ball and a furious pace, keeping both players constantly on attack and defence. Bianco’s tenacity saw him through, winning the second set tie break and the win 6/4, 7/6, to even the overall singles score.

What a day at the office for Dan Andrew Board You couldn't say Daniel Allan wasn't involved in the game. The big Tasman United central defender gave away a penalty in the opening minutes of his side's ISPS Handa Premiership game against Southern United on Sunday, before scoring a goal himself and ending the game with the goalkeeper’s gloves. "Yeah, quite a lot happened," he says. So much, in fact, that it caught the eye of New Zealand Football, which named him its Player of the Week. Tasman ended up drawing 2-2 with Southern at Trafalgar Park, but it could have been worse when goalkeeper Corey Wilson was sent off for handling the ball outside of the box. Tasman had already made its three allowed substitutions so Daniel had to slip on the goalkeeper's shirt and gloves. "It's quite nerve wracking back

free kick onto the post. Unfortunately, a Southern striker was there to bury the rebound, which made the score 2-2.

Dan says his experience in goal is limited to a few minutes last season as injury cover and a season as a 13 year old.

All Blacks 'excited' about Nelson test Andrew Board It feels a bit like Christmas at Tasman Rugby Union headquarters at the moment, "just 350 days to go" says chief executive Tony Lewis. But it isn't a fat man in red he's hanging out for, it’s 23 men in black. The world-champion All Blacks will play their first-ever test match in Nelson next October and preparations have begun in earnest. On Monday, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) were in town to look over facilities and catch up with staff at Tasman Rugby. NZR head of rugby operations, Dan Tatham, says the first meeting was about getting into the detail of the event. "We're immensely excited to be here and today is about starting the planning phase." He says the main challenge facing his team is the fact that it's all new. "We haven't been here for a test match before. That's why we want to work really closely with Tony and the crew at Tasman Rugby because they know this place like the back of their hand. We know how to run test matches, these guys know the venue, so that's where we're coming together to run the event." He says the players are excited about playing in the region. "The All Blacks are for the nation so it's good to be able to take games around the country." Tony says he hopes these are the first steps to a long-term relationship. "From our perspective, we haven't just put in for one test match and then pull up stumps and bugger off. We want to be here for the long term, we want to push this so we can get a regional facility that we're proud of." Nelson Regional Development Agency chief executive Mark Rawson says the game will be a big drawcard for visitors, but also locals. "It's absolutely about building an extraordinarily experience, not just a game. Both as a visitor experience but more importantly as a locals’ experience."

Water sport clubs get their day in the sun

Jessie Johnston Local water sport clubs came together at Tahunanui Beach on Sunday morning for the second annual Harbourmasters Challenge. Participating groups included Whakatu Marae Waka Ama, Maitahi Outrigger Canoe Club, Moana Stand-up Paddle Boards and the Nelson

Rowing Club, with members of the public also welcomed to come and have a look and maybe get involved in a new sport. “I think the Harbourmasters Challenge is a really awesome opportunity for people just to see what’s out there, it’s about being safe on the water, it’s about enjoying what we have here in Nelson and we also supported the

Coastguard with a bit of a sausage sizzle,” says deputy Nelson harbourmaster Amanda Kerr. Teams were made with members from each club, allowing participants to give each other’s water sport a go, before they took to the sea for some individual and team races, finishing with the Harbourmasters Invitational race. Nelson’s team was led

by Josh Hanrahan while the Tasman team had Tasman District harbourmaster Dan Cairney at the helm. They headed out in Maitahi’s sixperson outrigger canoes, with Nelson taking the win. “It’s the second year we’ve run it and, going forward, we’d definitely like it to be a much bigger event with a lot more people involved,” says Amanda.

Quality vehicles, old fashioned service at Monty’s

Looking to buy your first car, purchase a people mover for a growing family or a 4WD to meet the needs of your outdoor lifestyle? Its moments like these you need Monty’s. People might not be familiar with the Monty’s name, but it’s certainly no stranger to Nelson. Once upon a time, Monty’s ran alongside its parent company Houston Motors. It was established by Houston’s former owner Peter Bone to be a yard specialising in vehicles up to $15,000 and took its name from Montgomery Garage which used to operate in what is now Montgomery Carpark, back in the 1960s. Now Monty’s is back and ready to meet the needs of those looking to purchase affordable trade-in and import vehicles. “We’ve taken cars off our two main yards and bought them over to Monty’s, which puts all our similarly priced vehicles in one place,” says Houston Motors general sales manager, Arron Cox. “We really like the concept of quality vehicles and old-fashioned service, so that’s what Monty’s is all about.” “At Houston Motors, we’re trading

around 30 cars a month so there’s always new stuff coming into the Monty’s yard,” says Arron. Instead of wholesaling these cars off to other dealers, people can now come and experience the same knowledgeable and reliable service that they’d receive at Houston Motors, when looking to purchase a usedvehicle. “At Houston Motors, we always look after our customers and the same values apply to Monty’s. The yard stocks quality vehicles but if something goes wrong, we’ll make it right.” Jo Doran will be running the yard and has years of experience specialising in this market. Accredited in all aspects of finance and insurance, she’ll get you on the road in your new car the same day you buy it. Monty’s will also have a range of dollar reserve vehicles on Trademe, a great option for backpackers looking to pick up a cheap set of wheels for their great New Zealand road trip. Monty’s has a car for everyone so come and see Jo Doran today at the yard on 186 Rutherford St, just next door to Houston Motors. Business Update. Advt.

Saturday 18 November. Nelson Tasman cyclists’ favourite roads have been linked together to create the Abel Tasman Cycle Challenge event. At just under 160km, the course will reward cyclists with worldclass views of mountain ranges, rivers, streams, national parks, tidal estuaries and golden sand beaches. Cyclists of all levels are welcome to enter the second edition of this event and discover the true centre of cycling in New Zealand. It’s not too late to enter. On road distances are 155km, 73km and the popular 47km “Nifty Fifty”. For mountainbike riders, each lap of Silvan Park will take about 45 minutes. You can go solo or enter a two-person or four-person team. Everyone will finish at the same point on Avery Field in Richmond. Join the hundreds of riders already entered. Details and online entry at www.atcc.nz.

Reduced household sizes, changes in lifestyles and an ageing population and are resulting in an increased demand for small and compact properties.

Draft Regional Pest Management Plan Open for Consultation Introduced pest animals and pest plants pose major challenges for our region. These pests affect our productive sector and natural ecosystems, destroying the habitat of native birds, animals and insects. We are fortunate in Nelson-Tasman to have many committed groups involved in managing environmental pests. These range from smaller community groups working along waterways and estuary margins to those involved with innovative projects such as the Brook Sanctuary, Project Janszoon and Project Mohua, the work undertaken by the Department of Conservation staff and their contractors on public land, and groups such as Friends of Flora, Friends of Rotoiti and Friends of Cobb. The draft Regional Pest Management Plan is designed to support the work of these individuals, organisations, groups and agencies. It’s the only Regional Pest Management Plan that involves two councils working together to provide a better outcome. The focus of the draft plan is on high-risk pests that are in the early stages of infestation as these make best use of the councils’ limited resources. In most situations, the occupier is responsible for managing pests on their property. One of the changes in this draft plan is that Council staff will formally take responsibility for controlling two categories of pests (Exclusion Pests and Eradication Pests) as this is the most efficient way to deal with them. Have your say: You can read the draft plan and make a submission online at www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback or in person at any Tasman District Council office.

RECALL NOTICE:

Adama New Zealand is recalling MANCOZEB 10 KG

Adama New Zealand will no longer sell MANCOZEB cover spray after one batch has tested positive for Azoxystrobin. Azoxystrobin is a fungicide commonly used in agriculture, but is not intended for use on apples. MANCOZEB is not manufactured by Adama New Zealand, who pre-emptively commenced a product recall three weeks ago as a precaution following evidence of damage to varieties of Royal Gala. This recall does not affect any other Adama product. If you still have MANCOZEB, do not use it. Please return it to your local merchant for a full refund. More information can be found at www.adama.com. Growers with enquiries are encouraged to call 0508 232 626 or email recallNZ@adama.com.
