The Nouveau Design Awards promise glam, glitter and a great time. The awards have been running for six years and include a visual arts exhibition and a performance show this weekend. The performance show features young talent from the area and a costume design competition. “The show itself really inspires people into doing stuff they would never normally do,” says organiser Rose Shepard. The show has featured a range of young people from the area over the years that have now gone on to art school. “To their parents horror because they I’ve got them to the ‘other side’, they’re not doing accountancy and law, they’re off doing arty things. It makes them realise they can do anything,” says Rose. The people involved in the organisation of the show say they get a real “buzz” out of being involved. “There are a lot of older people involved as well that come along help as well. It’s such a broad section of the community. It’s one of those old fashioned things when you have four year-olds and 80 year-olds doing something together, it’s a great atmosphere,” she says. The art exhibition is open from 4pm tomorrow and the performance nights are held on Friday and Saturday at the Spring Grove Drill Hall on Lord Rutherford Rd ELIZA: Wakefield’s Amber Hampton, 12, models a costume designed South.

With old eftpos machines needing to be replaced by June 1, this week we ask people how often they use their eftpos card?

Joan Rayner.

Frankie Watson.

Tami Milentis.

Leighton Jones.

“I use my card once a week when I go shopping. I then get cash out to last the rest of the week. I don’t go into the bank; it’s just handy to go into a shop instead.”

“I don’t use it at all. I go into the bank about once a year to get money out, but otherwise the wife handles all the money side of things. I don’t really spend a lot.”

“Most of my transactions are with my eftpos card. I really rely on it. I go into the bank as little as possible. I do most of my transactions by eftpos and internet banking.”

“I use my card about 70 to 80 per cent of the time but I absolutely rely on it. I’m from the Gold Coast so the machines over there work all the time and are all new.”

Miners mum speaks out NEWS IN BRIEF FROM PAGE 1

crying and it was just horrific. “Everyone was hopeful, we all were, I mean we were built up to that. We were built up for days. We believed [the mining company] and reading the things that they said now you think ‘why did they do that to us?’ “I mean they obviously knew. It would have been easier if they were honest from day one and said there was no hope. It was the daily hope that you had that hurt the most.” Tracey still has hope. Hope that the body may be able to be recovered to help her family move on. “I’m hopeful to get him back, I won’t ever stop hoping of that. That’s still my child up there,

I won’t give up hope for that. I don’t care how long it takes. I don’t know how we would be expected to carry on with the rest of our lives with them all just left there. It’s just unacceptable to us, you can’t move on. “Some days its just unbearable, it really is. We are a really close family. I spoke to Riki twice that week alone. I miss his calls.” Tracey says she is proud of the man Riki grew up to be and he was especially good with his two sons. “It’s sad, we should have been having a wedding, not a bloody funeral. It’s been horrendous, it’s not what you expect, you don’t expect to bury your children. He was a lovely son, he was a very caring person.

“He was an absolute wonderful dad, he has blown us away with the way he was with the kids. I couldn’t ask for a better son and the kids couldn’t ask for a better dad. We will certainly miss him. I’m also sad for Rik, for what he will miss. They just got their first home, they have so many friends down there. They had their whole life in front of them.” The memorial service is being held at the Reefton Golf Club on Saturday, 19 February from 2pm. All friends of Riki are invited to attend the casual service. It will be followed by a function in Greymouth. If wet, the service will be held at the Reefton High School. “We miss Rik so much, he was a bloody great guy,” says Tracey.

• Richmond police attended a rather unusual callout over the weekend. A Richmond man had called communications saying he had locked himself in his car. Sergeant Craig Barker and his partner went to see what they could do, but couldn’t spot the person in either of the cars that were located at the address. After more investigation, Craig heard a knocking coming from the boot of one of the cars in the driveway. The man had been looking in his boot when the lid closed, trapping him inside. After being in his boot for 20 minutes, the man was dripping in sweat. “It was so hot on Saturday so it was just lucky he had his cell phone and we were

able to attend immediately. “Otherwise he could’ve been in a more serious condition.” • As the cannabis growing season comes to a head, police in Tasman District are calling on the public to be on the lookout for growers tending their plants. Detective sergeant Brett Greer says if people spotted anything out of place, or have information about someone growing cannabis they could call their local police station. “Over the next couple of months there will be increased activity by growers as their plants near harvest time.” Anonymous information can also be given by calling 0800 555 111.

The free course is for two hours and will cover specific mountain bike injuries. It will be held at Triple One Care Headquarters, 1 Tokomaru Place, Wakatu Industrial Estate, Stoke. The session starts at 6.30pm and runs to 8.30pm tomorrow. Phone 544 9180 for more information and to book.

A Tapawera teenager has been lucky enough to win his weight in lemonade. Jordan Pahl, 18, recently entered a competition on the Pete’s Natural facebook page. By correctly guessing the company’s new lemonade flavour, Jordan was able to collect 112 kilograms worth of fizzy drink yesterday. “It will come in handy, it’s my mum’s wedding this weekend so it will keep the kids happy,” he said. The new flavour is blackcurrent and is called Current Crush. Jordan says he is “stoked” to win so much lemonade. “It’s the first competition I’ve won and it’s a pretty cool thing to win too,” he says. Marleen Suy, owner of Pete’s Natural, wanted to do something different to promote their new product and they also wanted to give something away. “It’s also good to give it away to a local,” she says. Jordan’s name came out of the draw at the recent Sarau Festival. Current Crush also won first prize in the beverage section at the festival. “It was a successful promotion with lots of entries. It also created a lot of good ide- WEIGHT IN LEMONADE: Tapawera teenager Jordan Pahl, 18, as for new drinks which we won his weight in lemonade yesterday thanks to a Pete’s Natural might try out,” says Marleen. competition.

increased from $5 a week to as much as $35 a week to compensate for the average cut in funding. From the start of February incentives for teacher-led centres where more than 80 per cent of the staff are qualified will also be reduced. However, this is expected to save $280 million over a four year period. Head teacher at Waverly St Kindergarten Trina Saxon says the peaceful protests were not a campaign, just a way to raise awareness. “We want the local communities to know that it will affect children and their families,” she says.

Hundreds of Nelson and Richmond businesses have been warned they will have their eftpos cut if they do not upgrade their terminals by the June deadline. As many as 655 Nelson terminals on the Paymark eftpos system need to be upgraded to meet new security standards by June 1, or they will be cut off from the system. Previously, banks have been lenient with businesses that have not upgraded in time, however they are promising a hard line this time. Local eftpos company Viaduct, says it has been busy upgrading hundreds of businesses in Marlborough, the West Coast and Nelson but there are still many more that need to change, despite Paymark and banks’ repeated warnings. Currently there are three versions of eftpos software in the market place – 5.1, 5.2 and the new version 6. It is only the 5.1 software that needs to be upgraded. Viaduct Nelson branch manager Ged Svarc says businesses face being stranded if they don’t comply with the deadline and NEW MACHINE: he is warning against Dianne Williams from businesses doing it Serendipity with her at the last minute. new eftpos machine. “There has been plenPhoto: Teresa Hattan. ty of demand but we expect that to pick up as the cut-off looms, but if people leave it too late there is no guarantee we will get to everyone in time.” The upgrade has been spurred by security upgrades globally. The new terminals need to be able to read cards with a chip, which lowers the risk of fraud because they could not be copied as easily as the current magnetic strip cards. Of New Zealand’s estimated 120,000 eftpos terminals, 40,000 have old technology, which is not chip-compliant. The upgrade has been timed to be in place before the Rugby World Cup begins in September, when millions will be spent by visitors to the country. Nelson retailer Nicola Gear, of Colourplus Richmond, says she upgraded her terminal last month because she could not afford to be without eftpos. “A decent percentage of our custom is from eftpos, it would be a disaster to lose it.”

Early childhood education centres in Richmond banded together last week to show a case of solidarity. ECE centres in the Tasman district have had to increase their fees this month because of government funding cuts. A peaceful protest was held in the Washbourn Gardens on Friday to raise awareness in the local community. Children, teachers and parents from Richmond, Henley and Waverly St Kindergartens shared a morning tea and were entertained by local musician Kath Bee. Fees across the Tasman centres have

MorE TAlENTED:

A trip down memory lane is promised at the Spooners Tunnel open day on February 20. The rail tunnel was fully completed in 1893 and is the longest disused railway tunnel in New Zealand. Custodian Bob Stewart has been looking after the tunnel for the last five years. The Richmond resident says he went through the tunnel as a kid and remembers when the railway line was in use. “The more I’ve learnt about the history the better and I get a great kick out of taking the kids through,” he says. Bob believes the tunnel is a big part of local history. “Especially today, our generation remembers but we’re disappearing and unless this is kept going and it’s open for the public to see.” The major expense for the tunnel is every five years it has to have a safety check. Health and safety requirements these days can cause a few problems. “When they built the tunnel that wasn’t a problem and there are 20 little alcoves up the tunnel and they are put in there for when the maintenance crew are

working on the line if a train comes they’d just grab their tools and hop into one of these alcoves until the train went past,” says Bob. Signs on the main road past Belgrove will lead people to the carpark and on to the tunnel. Tours will commence at 10am and finish at 2pm. “There are two essentials – good footwear and good torches and make sure there are fresh batteries in it,” says Bob. Temperature inside the tunnel is a constant 10 degrees all year round, so warm clothing could also be needed. Open days are generally held once a month through the summer. Bob promises good fun for the whole family at the open day this month. “Apart from the history there is a colony of cave weta’s at the far end of the tunnel. There are glow worms but normally once a few people have gone through they turn themselves out, but if you’re lucky. There are some very interesting fungi.” Entry to the tunnel is $2 a head and preschoolers are free. A family rate of $5 is also available.

Last week his make a difference. year came to an end, a year that has been A short tour of South Stoke’s House 44 challenging but “amazing” says Gordon. He applied for the grant at the urging of his wife, left his job and went into the year with the aim of training youth workers who could make a difference in the community. Now House 44 has four qualified youth workers and so much more. Gordon was able to help organise the building of the community gardens, watched as volunteers painted neighbours fences and as the community became more close-knit and productive. “I think the highlight for me, which excites me quite a bit, was A YEAR WELL SPENT: Gordon Tamihana, of Richmond, has just completed a year working at House when we had a meeting with one of the offic44 in Stoke after winning a year’s worth of wages.

and its surrounding areas is more than enough to show he hasn’t disappointed. For the past 12 months Gordon has been working at House 44 on Karaka St with his wages paid for by the Vodafone New

ers from the Stoke police station and he told us that the crime rate in this area has dropped way down. So he told us whatever was happening in the house was working. That’s one of my big buzzes.” House 44 began in the mid-1990’s after a mother, who lived in the house, lost her son to suicide. She vowed that no other child on the street would see life so bad as to do the same so she opened her home to the community. A few years later Housing Corp donated it to the community and it’s grown ever since. As part of the grant, Gordon came with $30,000 that was to be used to benefit the charity. With it he was able to buy a container which is used for office space, a new van and other bits and pieces. House 44 manager Jane Worthington says she is thrilled with what has been accomplished over the past year. “Gordon brings with him a natural ability to talk with anyone and everyone and that has brought new benefits. We’ve been lucky to have Gordon, he has set up some great programmes here that will last for some time.” Gordon says the area no longer deserves its old, negative reputation. “If [the TV show] Myth-busters were here, the myth that the area wasn’t nice would be busted – Not true,” he jokes.

“A great atmosphere. A wonderful community spirit.” Pay a visit to Metlifecare Oakwoods and you will soon see that Derryl Beck’s words are spot on.

Just a thought To be honest it’s weird being a pastor of a local church. For starters most folk really think you only work on Sunday’s between 10am and midday. The rest of the week, it is thought by most, is spent praying, levitating and thinking about God. If this was all being a pastor was then it would be quite a ‘cushy’ little number. The job would probably suit a dodgy plant growing, hippie type, accountancy school drop out from Takaka as opposed to a grunty male with both feet on terra ferma.

I think a lot of people think of out piffy Zen statements. Jesus grew up Jesus this way. poor in a big family.

Allow me to leave you with some words Napoleon said: "I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. “But on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him."

St John to start new youth division St John is pleased to announce the formation of a new Youth Division in Mapua. In Mapua, St John has run a Penguin ‘Rookery’ for some of its youngest members since February 2009, which has been a great success. Tracy Simonsen, St John Nelson Marlborough District Youth Manager, says the Mapua Penguin Rookery currently has 12 members. “The Rookery is run by two Penguin leaders, and it has been incredibly successful.” St John is now looking to start a new Youth Division in Mapua in February 2011, says Tracy. “Our Penguins are aged six to eight years, and several are old enough to join the Cadet programme, which is for 8-18 year olds.

Youth. “Some of our Penguins also were awarded their Super Penguin Award in November last year, so moving to the Cadet programme is the next step.” The Super Penguin Award is gained once a Penguin has completed nine badges, and usually takes between 18 and 24 months to achieve. Plans are rapidly coming together for the new division, says Tracy, and St John is holding an open afternoon for the local community to come along

and see what the programme is about. “The open afternoon will be on Tuesday 15 February from 4pm-5.15pm at the Mapua Community Hall. Everyone is invited to come along, meet some of the people involved in the Youth programme in Mapua, and see how great St John Youth is. “We’re also hoping that some parents will be inspired to volunteer as Youth Leaders, which is a great opportunity to get involved both with St John Youth and work with our young people, and also join St John.”

Tigers narrowly miss out on national title The Nelson Tigers had to settle for third place over the weekend after a late call resulting in relegation for the stockcar team. The team of Dale Ewers, Brendan Higgins, Jared Gray, Shane Harwood and Brett Nicholls travelled to Palmerston North over the weekend to attempt a hold on their national title. But it wasn’t to be. After winning the semi-final the team were told one of the cars had cut the pole line so they were

relegated. “It was very, very disappointing. It ruined the weekend,” says Dale. The late call by the officials was unfortunate and was very hard on the rest of the team. In the race for third and fourth the team took their frustrations out on the track and came away with the better placing. Dale says the Tigers will certainly be back next year to reclaim their national title.

Richmond footballer makes an impression on Phoenix Nelson’s Jordan Yong has starred for Wellington Phoenix ‘A’, scoring on debut for the club’s reserve team. The Richmond Athletic star got the call up by Wellington Phoenix assistant coach Jonathan Gould for the ASB Challenge match against Canterbury United at Linfield Park last week and did not disappoint, firing the ball past goalkeeper Tom Batty in the 31st minute. The former Norwich City product was an interesting addition to the squad after suspensions to Manny Muscat and Ben Sigmund and constant injuries to squad member Diego Walsh meant the reserves were not able to call upon the handful of first team players who usually play in the midweek ASB Challenge games, with all professionals, instead, traveling to Adelaide.

It was Jordon’s first game of the season since a playoff match against Coastal Spirit last September, but Jordan had a busy game despite being short on match-fitness. He freely played alongside his unfamiliar teammates and it wasn’t long before he had put his name on the score sheet. His goal was the only score for the visiting side, with the game finishing 4-1 to Canterbury. He played a full 90 minutes on the left side of the midfield. Nayland College striker Gagame Feni scored for Canterbury. There was plenty of positives from the Phoenix assistant coach, who is a former Scottish international goalkeeper and a Celtic custodian. “He’s very direct when he gets on the ball. He’s got a fantastic strike on him and he’s got a trick.” In October, Richmond manager Rick

Gower had arranged for Jordan to train with Wellington. There, he spent one week with mixing it with the first team. With a bye in the coinciding round, Jordan got his first opportunity with the reserve side in a practice match against the Phoenix. Jordan also scored back then, but more impressively, he put the ball past All White regular Mark Paston. “That was decent. That in itself was a good opportunity for me. I learnt a lot of things off some of the experienced pros. They were pretty good to me as well,” says Jordan. Jordan had a stellar debut season with Richmond, scoring ten goals, but also suffered some niggling injuries which have marred his career thus far. He is now focussing on the season ahead with Richmond before making any plans

on his future. While he recently received an email offering a trial with a top Victorian Premier League side, Jordan is one hundred percent committed to the Richmond cause for the coming season as he hopes his performances can lead the club to Mainland Premier League promotion. But with a burning desire to play professional football, he is unsure of what his future holds. Jonathan is confident that he would be a useful acquisition to any ASB Premiership team. “I think he’s definitely good enough. His pedigree, he’s come from Norwich who have a pretty good record of producing youngsters. That alone would say for me that ASB clubs should look at him. He showed that he could benefit a couple of teams around the country.”

we reckon we’re

Decks Reserve Car Park Resurfacing Tasman District Council will be completing resurfacing of the Decks Reserve car park during late February 2011. The work, which will take a few days, will involve chip seal resurfacing. This type of resurfacing results in some loose chip on the surface which is swept off a short time after the work is completed. The job will be done in two parts to ensure that half of the car park area will remain available for parking. Council acknowledges that this is a busy time of year in Motueka. However the nature of chip sealing work requires the resurfacing to be done during summer to ensure that the chip properly adheres to the bitumen. Council’s contractor, Fulton Hogan will contact adjacent businesses and residents at least five days prior to this work commencing. Any comments or concerns should be raised with Council’s consultants. Contact Jeremy Katterns of MWH New Zealand Ltd on 03 546 0679.
