A&P stands could be death trap

A crowd of motor enthusiasts got revved up over the region’s finest on the weekend when local American car owners went for a cruise around the district.

The second annual Independence Day Cruise was held on Sunday to celebrate all Ameri-

The Nelson A&P Association has continued to operate two earthquake prone grandstands for major events without warning the public of the potential risks, even after an initial earthquake procedure was performed last year.

In July 2013 Opus filed an IEP on the northern and southern grandstands at Richmond Park at the association’s request.

The evaluation, which was leaked to the Waimea Weekly last week, shows that the north grandstand, built in 1920, returned a new building standard per cent rating of just six, which is well short of the recommended 33 per cent threshold, and makes it one of the most earthquake prone buildings in the region. The southern grandstand, built in the early 1960s, also fell short, with 17 per cent, deeming it earthquake prone as well.

Although the IEP deemed both structures as earthquake prone, John Harwood, property manager of the A&P Association, says he has no concerns about them.

“We’re going through a process.

At this stage we’re not broadcasting this all around the world,” he says. “It hasn’t got to that stage where we need to do anything because we’re still very much in the early [stages].”

The next step in the process is likely to be a detailed structural assessment [DSA] which was recommended in the Opus report.

A major harness racing event and the Nelson A&P Show have been held at Richmond Park since the IEP was completed. While only a small number of people use the grandstands at the A&P Show, they are the most popular spot for hundreds of event-goers during the four days of harness racing that occurs every year. Both the Nelson A&P Association and the Nelson Harness Racing Club have offices in the southern SEE PAGE 2

“I’d say that’s a good idea. You still get small seven year olds and it’s for various reasons; they can’t see and they get sick and for safety.”

“Schools might bite their face at it but preschools have dealt with this for years.”

“It does depend on size but vehicles are so horribly dangerous and if they’re protected by doing that then go for it.”

“I’d say it’s probably too old.

A&P stands deemed quake prone FROM PAGE 1 grandstand.

But Nelson Harness Racing Club president John McKenzie believes it would not be an issue if the grandstands were closed or had to be pulled down, as temporary structures could be sourced from within the region.

“There are enough facilities in Nelson to put up a temporary grandstand for races,” he says. “I think they [the Nelson A&P Association] are quite aware that it needs to be fixed and they’re going through the process of what cost is involved.”

While he could not comment on this specific case due to client confidentiality, Opus project manager Alastair Wiffen described the IEP as a “cheap, let’s have a quick look” assessment. “Often they’re quite similar but an IEP should not be

“It’s just a coarse screening tool to initially assess the building. Some people make some big judgments on IEPs which isn’t the best way of going about it. They need to get the DSA first.”

In general process, Alastair says if a build-

ing does not meet the 33 per cent in the IEP then a DSA is recommended, which sees an engineer investigates the building’s strength and the geotechnical capability. Once the final NBS rating is calculated, the owner of the building is then recommended to increase the seismic capacity above the 33 per cent NBS. Alastair says the NBS rating can be described as “real estate currency” and he admits most tenants and landlords want it made public, although it was uncommon for property owners to reveal the results of the IEP. “Effectively the client doesn’t have to do anything. Morally and ethically they should and most building owners do actually do something because they don’t want the word getting out that their building is earthquake prone and they’re not doing anything about.”

American cars rally for cruise FROM PAGE 1 ongoing. “I’ve been into them for years.

I love the body styles and shape, and the fact there’s a V8 motor under the bonnet.”

Kirsten Lineham imported a 1965 Mustang along with a 2010 Dodge Challenger a few years ago, which she brought along to the cruise. She says she was enjoying the chance to meet up with fellow American car enthusiasts and see what other cars were out there. “I love them. I love that they’ve got big, V8 motors in them, that they go fast. I love everything about them.”

Tony Anderson says he was “very happy” to be showcasing his 1970 Dodge Challenger which was built from American imported parts. “It’s just a good opportunity to get out and go for a drive.”

Illegal dog trackers ‘save lives’

Sinead Ogilvie

Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Thousands of locals are knowingly breaking the law, but they aren’t going to stop and nor should they, says Conrad Adams who says he is standing up for his fellow pig hunters.

It’s been a year since legislation was introduced banning the importation of illegal dog tracking devices. While more than 70 have been seized at customs since, Conrad says that number is nothing on the “tens of thousands” of illegal devices already being used throughout the country.

Some tracking devices are illegal because they operate on the same radio frequencies as people travelling and working in rural areas, such as forestry workers, Department of Conservation rangers, and search and rescue crews. It is illegal for anyone else, including pig hunters, to use the frequencies due to the possibility of interference and the fact that other people are paying to use them.

Conrad says the Radio Spectrum, who control the licensing of radio frequencies, need to change their attitude towards pig hunters and come up with a positive solution instead of criminalising “good guys” who simply want to hunt.

But because the devices offer hunters unrivalled safety they

Conrad Adams says fellow hunters should be allowed to use banned dog tracking devices. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie are not willing to give them up and Conrad wants to set the record straight on why they use them. “The devices basically revolutionised pig hunting in New Zealand. The safety features on them are just unrivalled. They provide the hunter with a map and live feed on where they and their dogs are and I’ve no doubt that they’ve helped avoid many a missing persons call out.”

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment says that current licensed users of the frequencies in question face considerable risk to the safety and wellbeing of their personnel as well as to “operational efficiency” if interference is cause by outside parties. But Conrad is questioning that and describes using the devices as a “crime

without consequence”. “There’s a lot of rumours out there that if you use them planes will fall out of the sky, but they’re just that, rumours. Any pig hunter would be able to tell you just how easy it is to get lost while you’re in the bush. If these devices have saved even one life then surely that’s got to count for something.”

Jack Frost, a member of Search and Rescue Nelson, says there are no operations currently on the affected channels in Nelson that he is aware of but interference caused by the devices could range from “annoying to hazardous”, and a quick search on the internet finds legal dog tracking collars.

Conrad says an ideal outcome would be legalising the use of dog tracking devices and coming up with a solution for all.

NEWS PM checks out cycle trail in brief SPENDING IN REGION STRONG: Spending in Nelson continues to trend above the national average, with the latest figures released by Paymark this week showing the region amongst the top five in the country.

Nelson had an increase in spending of 5.7 per cent, up on the national average of 4.3 per cent. The figures show $70.5 million was spent through the Paymark eftpos system in June, up on $66.7 million the previous year.

FREE GEAR FOR CHARITIES: WHK Nelson is offering to donate surplus jandals, torches, shirts and bags to a local charity and would like to hear from interested groups. The company is changing its name to Crowe Horwath at the end of July and rather than see their old marketing merchandise go to waste, they’ve decided to ask if any local charity could use the hundreds of items. Any charity that would like the items can email nelson@whk.co.nz.

COUNTRY FAIR DELAYED: Nelson’s famous “Country Occasion at Neudorf ” has moved back to March 2 2014. Organiser Judy Finn says the move is in response to the proliferation of events building up around November and December.

John Key visited Mapua last week as the first stage of the Great Taste Cycle Trail was officially opened.

The Prime Minister spent the morning at Nelson Airport unveiling a sign that mapped the cycle trail, before visiting the cycle trail’s official partners in Mapua, including Apple Shed Café where he spoke about the benefits it will have on tourism in the region.

Cycle Trails Trust executive officer Fiona Newey says John Key had been invited to “all of our other openings” but they had not worked in with his schedule.

“It was about West-Coast Tasman MP Chris Auchinvole putting us on the map and asking the Prime Minister to please come and have a good look at the trail and celebrate with us,” says Fiona.

“When he happened to be ready, so was the first stage of the trail and the sign at the airport too, plus the passports were launched so it was quite good timing really.”

John Key is also the minister of tourism and Fiona believed it was significant to have him at the opening as the government had initially pushed for cycle trails around the country to financial boost rural areas. “Nobody in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch got a trail and from the initial 54 applications only 18 trails were granted money from the $50 million.”

Nelson was granted $2.6 million and spent $500,000 of it on the Dun Moun-

tain Trail with the rest going on the Great Taste Trail. Stage one of the trail, which is expected to be a big draw card for tourists, runs from Nelson city through to Mapua or Wakefield.

Fiona believed John was delighted to meet the official partners of the trail and was grateful he took the time to speak and pose for photos.

“Everybody’s Facebook pages should be rocking this week. But the weather was perfect, being on the ferry and seeing how it worked was great and the Apple Shed Café is always a delight so I’m sure he had a good time.”

Car seat change to affect school trips Changes to a law that will see children restrained in car seats until they’re seven years old could create a logistical nightmare for schools wanting to go on class trips.

From November 1, the law change will see six and seven year olds using a compulsory approved car seat when travelling, which could restrict the amount of class trips schools take, even forcing them to walk or catch the bus instead.

Nelson Principal’s Association president Don McLean says trips involving students in the junior syndicate will be seriously ef-

Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz fected. “For starters you can’t take as many kids in the car and there’s always the case when people turn up without car seats,” says Don. “So does that mean we’ll have to have car seats at school?”

Don says he could see the point in having car seats as his own six year old son used one on longer trips. But he questioned the

impact it will have on shorter trips.

“If we go from Hampden St School to the museum or somewhere like that, it will be quite a big mission to get all the car seats together.”

Richmond School principal Tim Brenton says his school was having a tough time finding enough willing parents to help with transport at the moment so they would be likely to use the bus service more often.

“Some of these trips out we might have to look at hiring a bus for that very reason.

We’ll pass those costs on to parents to contribute,” he says.

“It will impact on us but we must comply with the law.”

Hope School principal David Pritchard says it was already a school policy to restrict children from being in lap belts, but he admits this new law change will still have an effect.

“We’ve already talked about having a set of car seats here for people that don’t have enough,” says David.

“When you make a rule like the one with the lap belts, it already reduces the amount of children that can go in cars but this is about student safety.”

All quiet on the fire front

Richmond’s volunteer fire-fighters have had a quiet start to winter.

Brigade chief Ralph Lonsdale says it has been kept reasonably out of action without none of the traditional chimney fires or problems with electric blankets.

“I hate to say it but it’s been nice and quiet. A few years ago we’d of had half a dozen chimney fires by now but it seems they’re a thing of the past. People seem to be taking better care of their chimneys and I guess there are fewer fires in people’s homes now as well.”

Ralph says while the number of call outs has been slow lately the brigade has kept itself busy with training and attracting new recruits. An open night was held last night for some potential volunteers to have a look around and there is another open night this coming Tuesday, July 16, at the Richmond Fire Station for anyone interested.

Café couple sell popular business Phillip Rollo Miles and Stephanie Drewery have sold their popular café in central Richmond.

The couple, who lived in Upper Moutere, have owned Miles of Food for nearly five years but are now seeking a different path for the future.

When returning from a two month holiday to the UK, Miles will focus on his catering business while Stephanie is hoping to pursue a landscaping career.

“Miles is ready for a bit of a change and someone bought it. It’s as simple as that,” says Stephanie.

“Miles is burnt out and he needs the break so it’s time to move on and try something different. I want to go landscaping, so it’s Steph’s turn now,” Miles and Stephanie Drewery have closed Richmond café Miles of Food. she jokes.

The pair have enjoyed their time working at Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Miles of Food, creating a good loyal customer base. Miles also became a bit of a local celebrity during his five years, taking cooking demos at local events such as the Nelson A&P Show, the Brightwater Food and Wine Festival and the Sarau Festival.

When asked if they achieved what they set out to do at Miles of Food, Stephanie explains the goal was really just to create an income and make

a name for themselves. “That was it really. We needed a job and this is what we do.”

Stephanie says the business was successful, despite being off the main street, which is something people often questioned. “We wanted to be off the beaten track, a hidden gem. A lot of people said they’d give us six months but it’s turned into a profitable business. I think it was a good spot.”

Miles and Stephanie will continue running the café at the Richmond Library, a business they took over three years ago. Stephanie says the reason behind keeping it was that it was a “good little earner” that will also keep Miles’ face out in the public arena.

They also did not rule out returning to owning a café in Richmond in the future. “Just not in the immediate future. Miles wants to concentrate on his salamis and small goods. When we initially set up we wanted to do the deli stuff but the café has just taken over, but maybe now he’ll do the deli stuff now and just concentrate on that.”

The change of lifestyle will also enable Miles to spend more time with his two children Cassius and Hunter. “That’s the plan. He hasn’t spend a Friday and Saturday night with them in six months, plus he coaches the local rugby team.”

Garin College held its annual Mahi Toi Concert at the Hope Community Church last week, showcasing the performing arts at the school.

The concert was a highlight of the best performances from last month’s Mahi Toi festival at the school where students take two days off the regular curriculum to focus on the arts.

This was the first year the concert had been held over two nights, but arts coordinator Lindsey Furlong-Taylor was thrilled with the turnout, saying there was a packed house both nights. “It was absolutely fantastic. The kids get so much out of it,” she says. “We were a bit concerned whether we’d get enough people but it was great with a really good turnout.”

The performances ranged from musical acts and the first XV haka to a dress making competition using only recycled materials, and drama skits, amongst others. The audience was also shown a recording of the winning Stage Challenge performance.

Around half of the school took part.

Businesses replace kids’ stolen scooters

CHILDREN’S DAY: Todd and Rachael Brodie of Brightwater with kids Emmitt, 1, and Jed, 3, celebrating Children’s Day at Founders Park on Sunday. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie.

Two Richmond businesses have replaced the scooters stolen from Archie and Katie Barnett’s front porch last weekend.

Mother Helen Barnett says it was “lovely” that Jim Matthews of Village Cycles and Steve Harvey of Re Space, who is Helen’s boss, decided to help out the kids.

“It was pretty special, Steve came around last night and told us to come see Jim and pick up some scooters because they were going to give us one each,” she says. “It was really nice.”

Archie and Katie both attend Henley School and had only just received the scooters for their respective birthdays.

They were stolen from the front porch last Saturday night, which Helen believed was out of sight from the street as it was behind a wall.

Steve says it was a “pretty raw deal” and decided to help out.

“I saw it in your article when I was having breakfast on Thursday morning,” he says.

“They’re nice people, they don’t

saw a lady go to put money in the meter. I told her it is free on Tuesdays. She said she hadn’t heard about it and didn’t trust me so put the money in anyway. (Via text).

I don’t go to town for this reason only, will shop in Richmond to save cash. I think the amount the council gets should be divided amongst shop owners, they probably already pay for it in their rates. Drop all fees. Sarah.

I think it is time as Nelson CBD needs a boost and if free parking will draw people in then it should happen, however people going to Richmond for the sake of free parking haven’t done the maths, surely the cost of gas to get out there would far outweigh parking costs in Nelson city.

Brenda Kenny.

Free with a time limit, perhaps two hours? Or limit it to certain sections that are free, and other key areas have a smaller time limit, P15 or similar.

Amanda Dykzeul.

Whale burial ground: Whales are such wonderful animals. Glad that the ones that died can rest in peace at a beautiful place like Rabbit Island. Janice Mortensen.

Can’t agree more that it should be free all year round, I don’t pay for parking, we go to Richmond and the only time we go to Nelson is after 1pm on Saturday or Sunday so we don’t have to pay, it’s such a stupid idea expecting people to pay for what they can get for free. NCC seems to have forgotten Richmond gets Kmart and the Warehouse soon. Even less reason to go to Nelson. Robbie.

Do you think the speed limit on Queen St should have dropped down to 30km/h?

Yes, if they got rid of the speed humps. Simon Scowen.

Should be free all the time, once Kmart and Warehouse open in Richmond they will lose even more business. Tina Duncan.

I live in the middle of Nelson and Richmond, so why would I go to Nelson and pay for parking? But Tuesday is good to go to Nelson. Lisa Crerar.

No, as it would make Talbot and Oxford Sts a speedway. Terry Beach.

They’d only charge more for something else to cover the loss of parking money, whether it be a rate increase or whatever. Nelson parking is considerably cheaper than most places. The free day is great though. Nikole Berkett.

Yes to free parking! But with realistic time limits to stop abuse. We need to protect our CBD and support local retailers who provide jobs and give our city its character. Alan Kirby.

I said to my hubby I thought the Curry family was it, awesome to see them on the front page! Katie Mounsey.

Happy birthday staff, now for a skydive Stellar turnout for Richmond Law celebrated a unique set of birthdays on the weekend by taking four of its staff skydiving.

Two staff members turned 40 while there was also a 50th and 60th birthday.

While all of the jumpers; Robert Whittle, Nicola Hunter, Lee McMurtrie and Stephen Sansom, were extremely nervous and initially tried to talk themselves out of completing the skydive in Motueka, everyone ended up going through with it.

Trust accountant and receptionist Sarah Ferguson joked that Robert was looking very pale before the leap. “The last 24 hours leading up to the jump, and particularly just before the jump, Robert was very white and the other jumpers watching the first person jump out of the plane made them feel very sick,” she says. “But everyone was glad to be back on the ground afterwards, although feeling a bit sick.”

Family members were on hand for support and everyone concluded the day with a birthday dinner in Richmond.

Recovery group publishes tui pictorial Native Bird Recovery Richmond has released a pictorial study showcasing the rise of tui numbers in the region.

The book includes three years of photographs, which were taken by an anonymous contributor, in the gardens of the group’s members.

Neil Page, chairman of the Native Bird Recovery Richmond. says the whole idea behind the book came in 2010 when he was showing some people through a hide near Jimmy Lee

Creek. “I was amazed at how many people hadn’t seen a tui at close quarters,” he says.

“Most people thought they were just a black bird with white tufts but they’re much more than that. We want this to show the true colours of the tui.”

Because the tui is one of New Zealand’s most popular birds, it was an easy choice to focus on, says Neil.

“It’s a beautiful bird and it’s one of the few native birds that

people can see in their garden.

Because we’ve taken out 6300 pests the tui are starting to come back into the area.”

Neil says because tuis are so fast, the general public do not get a chance to witness their true colours up close, which is what makes the photos so impressive.

The book will go on sale at BNZ Richmond and Nelson, and the Grey Power office in Stoke, and it is a fundraiser for Native Bird Recovery Richmond.

In a recent New Zealand survey of professions, people were asked who they trusted and respected the most. How well did each career or profession score? It seems mine as a minister did not score well. Fire fighters, on the other hand, were at the top of the list.

Wow! What is their secret? They are the good guys. They save people. What many don’t know is that of the 8500 fire fighters 85 per cent are volunteers and only 15 per cent paid.

Consider the message of Jesus: I was hungry and you fed me, in prison and you freed me etc.

When these fire fighters therefore put a fire out, save a cat, attend a road accident – by definition they do it for Jesus even if they don’t realise.

When you do something are you motivated by the question – “what’s in it for me?” Or are you able to get beyond yourself and think about oth-

ers? Whenever you do you give others life. Think how you feel when someone makes a positive comment about you, or goes out of their way to help you. It positively adds to your day and your life.

Elsewhere Jesus challenges us to love our neighbour. Can you think of something you could do that will make a difference in someone else’s life today? It might be as simple as making a phone call. When we do these sorts of things we encourage others, we build relationships, trust and respect.

It normally leads to not only them smiling but also you because you know you have made a difference in someone else’s life.

ANNIVERSARY

It’s been a year since one of your favourite car dealerships shifted onto Gladstone Rd. The decision to combine the local Autorama car yards has been a good one, with plenty of people from within our community turning to the trustworthy team for their vehicle purchasing needs.

For quality used cars and great customer service it is hard to look past Rae Ricketts, the owner operator of the business, and his friendly sales team. The last twelve months have flown by for them and after moving the business under one roof, things couldn’t be busier, with new imports arriving, people calling from out of town for their expertise and cars selling as fast as they arrive.

One of the most noticeable differences about the bigger site is the range and variety of vehicles that are now on display. There are currently 100 cars on the premises and another 40 out at sea waiting to arrive and, with great imports arriving weekly, it’s amazing the yard can keep up. Rae says the fact they can source such high quality used cars is a major draw card for local customers and it always surprised him just how quickly the cars get snapped up.

“It’s quite incredible, but it comes down to that fact we only source the highest quality used cars on the national and international market.”

When you buy a car from Autorama, you know you will receive upfront and honest service from a business that is well known for having the best used cars available.

Rae says he’s proud to front a team that uphold such a great standard and is pleased to be able to “stock only the best”.

From small, fuel economic cars, town runabouts, cars suitable to a long distance traveler, 4WDs, people movers and vans; Autorama stocks vehicles ranging from $3000 to $35,000 with a price and car to suit anybody and everybody. The beauty of being a locally owned and independent company means if they don’t have what you’re looking for they have the contacts within industry to get it for you, and will go to any length to make sure you get the car you want. They are backed up by a second yard in Motueka so they are able to look around locally for the car you want before seeing what is available in other cities in New Zealand. If the car you want is out there somewhere, it will be found by Rae and the team.

Brian Newman, a member of the passionate sales team says he has loved the past year at the new site and is looking forward to celebrating the milestone with the community. “The site is just great, we can get a lot of cars on display and

them for parts. “We wouldn’t ever sell anything to anyone that doesn’t meet our high quality standard” says Rae. “So before you decide your car is ready for the scrap heap, it might make the perfect first car for a college student, so it pays to ask about a trade-in.”

To celebrate their first year on Gladstone Rd the team at Autorama would like to thank the repeat customers that are at the heart of the business. Many customers are choosing to return to the team and Rae says they are bringing their friends and family as well as returning for an upgrade themselves.

“It’s a great thing to see regular customers returning and it is their word of mouth that is keeping us so busy.”

Sales team member Rick Thompson agrees with Rae that their customers are consistently returning and puts their success down to the “no pressure, easy going and friendly environment – what more could you ask for when buying a new vehicle?”

Autorama are proud to celebrate one year at their Gladstone Rd site, a convenient, easy access and spacious premises. If you haven’t already, the team welcomes the public to head down to the yard to see what’s on offer or simply say hello.

You can check out the yard at 56 Gladstone Rd, on the corner of Poutama St. Open seven days a week, Monday to Friday from 8.15am to 5pm, Saturday from 9am to 4pm, and Sunday from 10.30am to 3pm. If you can’t make it to the car yard you can find out what they’ve got by giving them a call on 03 544 0462 and having a chat to one of the friendly, experienced team members.

Art expo to build on success Art Expo Nelson is returning to the Trafalgar Centre this weekend and organisers are promising it will be even bigger and better than last year’s inaugural event.

With more than 3000 people visiting last year’s Art Expo Nelson it was immediately recognised as the biggest art expo in the South Island.

But Nic Foster, Annie Leather and Louise Allan say there will be more artists, more visitors and more activities at this year’s expo. “We have 118 artists this year, up 20 on last year, and we have a space where children can have a go at creating their own masterpiece with Pammie Moonlight in the Victory room,” says Louise. “We’re hoping for 5000 to come through the expo over the three days.”

The trio behind the event say they were thrilled with the response to it last year and say they decided not long after it to go again this year.

“We had 100 per cent positive response from the artists and the feedback from them was ‘yep, make it an annual thing’,” says Louise.

The group were successful in their bid for a Nelson City Council grant and say they’re pleased with the number of people coming from outside the region. “We have 35 artists from outside Nelson and Tasman and we already know of people coming from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch so hopefully it can attract not just local people but people from around the country.”

As well as the hundreds of artworks selling from one hundred dollars to several thousand, organisers say there are plenty of other activities including a café and bar where people can take a break or discuss which piece to buy.

Art Expo Nelson runs from Friday, July 12, to Sunday, July 14. It opens each day at 10am.

Five winter driving tips from MTA Driving in the winter can sometimes be a daunting prospect. Good vehicle preparation, knowledge and driving technique are critical. Here are some winter driving tips for ensuring your journey is as safe, enjoyable and hazardfree as possible.

1. Make sure your vehicle is winter ready Is your vehicle approaching the time for its next scheduled service? If so, don’t put it off. Book your vehicle in for a pre-winter check with your local MTA member business.

The experts know what to look for – oil levels, heating and cooling systems, wiper blades, filters, battery and tyre pressures amongst other things. By doing this you’ll have peace of mind in knowing that your vehicle is ready for the conditions. Experience shows that if a car is going to fail, it’s most likely to do so when in the harshest operating conditions – and for most owners, that’s the winter months.

2. Tyres All the control you have is delivered through four palmsized patches of rubber where the tyres meet the road. Start by making sure your tyres are in good condition; they have at least the minimum tread depth and are free from cuts and damage. Make sure your tyres are properly inflated. Overinflation can reduce the gripping action of tyres because the tread will not meet the road surface as it was designed to do.

If you’re going to be driving in the snow, make sure you have the correct chains and snow tyres (if fitted) – it’s now the law that when you use snow tyres that all four are in fact snow tyres.

When you’re driving in wintry conditions it is essential to keep the tyres rolling and not allow them to spin or slide.

3. Good visibility Reduced visibility means you have to budget extra time for every drive. Before you hit the road make sure you can see out of every window and mirror. Use a proper windscreen scraper or de-icer to remove ice from your vehicle.

Do not use warm water, as this may cause your windscreen to crack. People often only associate air-conditioning with staying cool during the summer months, but it’s equally vital for ensuring good visibility during the colder months.

Get your system checked. And make sure people can see

you. Ensure your lights are all working properly and are correctly adjusted. Get them on early and turn them off late; you may choose to keep them on at all times. Use your main beam, and remember to keep them dipped when travelling in foggy conditions; blasting them on to high beam only results in the light being reflected straight back at your eyes, making visibility even harder.

4. Know what to expect.

If you’re travelling out of town make sure you know what you’re in for. Bridges and overpasses ice over faster than normal roads. Why? The earth is warm and normal roads have the warmth of the earth underneath. Shady areas cool more quickly than areas in full sun. The shadows from large trees, buildings and

mountains can cause isolated icy spots.

5. Know when to accelerate and when to brake When accelerating, push the accelerator pedal gently. If you do sense wheel-spin, ease back on the pedal immediately until you feel the tyres grip again. Apply the same principle when braking. Brake gently at first then increase the pedal pressure progressively. You can brake quite hard as long as the application is smooth.

Remember, don’t steer if you are braking or accelerating and vice versa.

If your vehicle is fitted with ABS and/or a Stability Control system, make sure you know what this can do for you. Get experience of your vehicle’s capabilities and how it reacts, before you get stuck.

Things you might have with you While having things like a first aid kit and fire extinguisher make good sense at any time of the year, there are things that you should consider especially important for the colder months. A torch, perhaps a mat or cover to protect you from the ground should you need to change a tyre. Protective gloves and some form of reflective warning device are always a good idea too.

Tasman slow to give TVs back

Nelsonians appear to rather like their televisions so much that we’re not getting rid of them – or perhaps we’re just not getting rid of them properly.

The Ministry for the Environment has just released figures showing Nelson is one of the worst regions in the country for using the TV take back promotion.

The government allocated a certain number of televisions in regions all over New Zealand where residents could hand old TVs over to be disposed of for just $5. Many regions have already filled their quota but Nelson has used just 29 per cent, according to the Ministry. It says that by recycling old TVs, residents are playing their part in helping to protect the environment from hazardous materials like lead.

It says only 605 Nelson televisions have been handed in, with the region’s allocation at 2102.

But they say time is not lost and people can still drop them off at Noel Leeming Richmond or at the Richmond Resource Recovery Centre. The cost per television is $5.

Just call us.

Nine volleyball players to represent NZ A total of nine Nelson volleyball players will jet off to the United States this month, having been selected in various New Zealand high performance age group teams.

The New Zealand women’s youth side has the strongest Nelson contingent with Nelson College for Girls student Ellie Bell joining Waimea College trio Brittani Harrington, Georgia Davies and Katie Ditzel.

Waimea College’s Hannah Davenhill represented New Zealand alongside Ellie and Brittani last year but has

been selected in the higher age group for 2013, making the women’s junior side, which is the equivalent to an under-19 team.

Nelson College duo Harry Fergusson and Liam Whareaitu have made the Josh Ovsenek-coached New Zealand men’s youth team while Giles Black, James Anderson and Monty Brosnahan are in the Neil Anderson-coached junior men’s team. The four teams will contest the USA High Performance Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where they will compete against US state and international sides Katie, who will represent New Zealand

South Island’s Premier Art Expo

for the first time, says the experience will be “exciting” but admits the opposition will be a bit of an unknown. “It’s cool to represent your country and it’s always been a goal.

I didn’t think it would happen.”

Another debutant, Georgia, was hoping to use the international tournament as an opportunity to push for further New Zealand selection. “This will be our last year playing in this team so we’re trying to prove ourselves and impress the other coaches while we’re there.”

Nelson’s Helen Bywater and Rebecca Malthus will manage two of the traveling teams, adding to the familiar faces on tour. The players depart on July 19.

With Pam back on board offering her expertise, First National will continue to build their management portfolio in the Nelson Tasman region, helping homeowners get the most out of their investment while taking the stress out of the rental property process.

Jones ignites Giants In the final game of the regular season, the Fico Finance Nelson Giants set the Trafalgar Centre alight, breezing past the Southland Sharks 119100.

No less than four Giants scored more than 20 points, including captain Phill Jones, who put to bed any rumours that he might be pulling the curtain on his career, with the most emphatic exclamation point.

After labelling it the best offensive performance of the season, Giants coach Liam Flynn admits the team still has some things to work on in the defensive end of the court ahead of this weekend’s playoff series.

Nelson Giants MVP Josh Pace was the top scor-

er for the home side with 24 points while Erron Maxey and Mika Vukona replicated their captain with 22 points. Josh Bloxham nearly made it five players passing the 20 point mark, falling one shy with 19.

Clearly happy with what he saw on Saturday, Liam says the side is full of confidence heading into Saturday’s semi-final against the Otago Nuggets in Napier, and the timing for Phill’s return to form couldn’t have been better. “On the record I think he has a lot of basketball in front of him and it’s great to see a performance like this [from him.]” says Liam. “I think he was real solid on the defense end as well and for me he should definitely keep playing basketball.”

Richmond reaches grand final Fresh off a confidence restoring victory in the final round robin game of the season, The Stables Richmond Rabbits were back on their home turf against a Taniwha side desperate to knock over the defending champions.

A disrupted warm up with the delay of the first semi final saw both sides sit in the sheds for longer than either would have wanted. Shelter from the sudden rain the only consolation.

The Rabbits welcomed back key lock forward Lucas Bennett for the must win clash, and young centre Tamaira Raurimu-Carew returned to once again to form an imposing centre pairing with Callum Smith.

Switching to fullback late in the season, Eliot Smith took control of a well drilled Rabbits back line and delivered an NRL worthy cut out pass to put Tasman Titans winger Kaiapa Paul over for the opening try of the match.

Shortly after, it was the other wing, Sam Laloni who would again put points on the board out on the Taniwha’s edges. Both tries went unconverted.

The Taniwha hit back with two tries of their own and looked like going into the break on top, but a sneaky play from in form half Maloni Lama saw him steal a pass from a Taniwha scrum and sprint 50 meters to score under the sticks. Stand off Nick Rangi converted to have the defending champs 14-12 ahead at the break.

The rain had passed, and both sides began the second half in an attacking mode, delivering a fine spectacle for those on the sideline.

A second try to winger Kaiapa and centre Callum put the Rabbits out to a 22-12 lead, but showing the form that had the Taniwha as worthy semi finalists, the boys from Blenheim came storming back, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the Rabbits.

However, the defending champions were able to hold on for an eventual 22-20 win, qualifying for the grand final against the SuperCheap Auto Stoke Cobras. The Sharmel’s Cup game will be played at Trafalgar Park this Saturday although a kick off time is yet to be confirmed.

Rep teams get chance to shine Carol Cook

Netball Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz Nelson Netball hosted the annual Nelson Age Group Tournament at Saxton Courts on Sunday in very trying weather conditions.

Teams from Nelson, Marlborough, Motueka, Golden Bay, Buller and Tapawera played three games each, and it was the luck of the draw if you got wet as the weather changed constantly throughout the course of the day.

It was also a challenge for the umpires as many also had three games or more.

Nelson had six teams competing – Under 17, Under 15 and Under 13 as well as the respective age group development teams.

With Mandy Whiting at the helm, the Under 17s opened their account with a convincing 34-14 win over Marlborough Under 17 B.

The second game saw them match up against Motueka Seniors. Nelson began strongly and with good flow through court, the feeders provided an abundance of ball to shooters Abby Franklin and Kelsi Hylkema.

While Abby looked a little shaky to begin she soon found her rhythm to slot a number of long range shots (shooting 16 from 17 in the second and third quarters) Kelsi played a more supportive role however she ended with 9 from 12 in three quarters.

Wing defence, Ruby Jensen was the only player to retain her bib for the entire game.

She applied considerable pressure on the outside of the circle and was always available at the transverse for the re-set. Emma Deighton impressed at goal keep when she pulled in a couple of well timed intercepts, while Annelise van Zoelen was productive at goal defence.

While Nelson fell off the pace in the final period, they had done sufficient in the first 30 minutes to take the game 36-20.

Nelson would have been disappointed

The team now look forward to their NZ Tournament to be held in Hastings later this month.

The Under 13 team under the guidance of Marilyn Milne had the perfect record with victories over Buller Under 13 (3918) Marlborough Under 13 A (22-18) and

Marlborough Under 13 B (38-14) The girls are as keen as mustard and anxious to put their best foot forward. Court time was shared as all girls were given even time with pre-planned subs.

The team will travel to Ashburton in August to complete their campaign.

The Under 13 Development team had a two win, one draw record last week at the Top of the South Tournament in Blenheim however they did not fare as well on Sunday.

They had two heart breaking losses 12-14 against Marlborough Under 13 A and 1819 against Buller Under 13 Development.

Buller Under 13 took out their encounter 30-16.

Greta Pestell had an impressive tournament, playing mainly at goal defence she was the instigator of much of the hard won ball. Greta was ably supported by defenders Libby Douse and Mica van Eden.

The girls will wrap up the representative season with the Development Tournament to be played next month.

Waimea Old Boys Rugby Club

27

www.wobrfc.co.nz

Bs beat Riwaka Waimea Old Boys showed plenty of heart and grit to beat Riwaka for the second time this year.

Waimea scored an early try through Kerry Walker before Riwaka fought back late in the second half.

Luke Thelin and Callum Hart then scored for Waimea in the second half and a 40 metre penalty goal from John Higgins extended the visitors lead to 21-17 with just ten minutes to go.

Riwaka again fought back late in the game but Waimea held on to take the win.

WOBBA way to win!

Star & Garter Waimea Old Boys hosted long time rivals Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers at Jubilee Park in a top of the table clash on Saturday.

Going into the match Waimea were sitting four points behind Wanderers in the Car Company division one championship and after two narrow losses to them already this season Waimea were looking to get one back and importantly, secure the top spot on the table.

The job was made harder just three minutes into the match as Waimea had a player red carded for alleged foul play.

Wanderers capitalised on the numerical advantage and scored twice in quick succession to take an early 12 point lead. A yellow card then made things even harder for the home team as they were reduced to 13 players for a 10 minute period. However, with their backs against the wall, Waimea got their hands on the ball and got themselves into the game, firstly with a long range

SG

individual try to fullback James Lowe and then through halfback Kaide Whiting who kicked through a loose ball and beat the defenders to score and level the scores at 12 all.

The remainder of the first half was contested strongly by both teams as a mounting penalty count and missed tackles threatened to hamper Waimea’s efforts. A late penalty gave Wanderers a 15-12 half time lead.

Returning from the break, Waimea lifted the intensity and improved in several key areas as they began to unlock the Wanderers defence. First five Marty Banks produced an accurate kicking display as he took control of the match while lock Tevita Cavubati carried the ball strongly and was able to offload the ball in the tackle.

Waimea produced five second half tries in a remarkable display that few would have thought possible considering they were playing with just 14 men. James

SG

added two more tries to his tally for an impressive hat-trick in a strong all round performance. Others to cross the line were Tevita, influential number eight Ben Coman and second half replacement prop Jerome Vaai who made a big impact with ball in hand when he got on the field.

The whole Waimea forward pack laid a solid platform for Marty and James to operate from while Kaide provided the link between forwards and backs.

He also contributed several desperate tackles early on when Waimea were up against it and trying to repel the early Wanderers attack.

The 45-22 bonus point win gives Waimea a one point lead in the competition standings with just one round robin match to play. Waimea hosts Kahurangi this coming weekend and will be keen to keep the momentum rolling and secure the number one spot heading into the semi-finals.

Julia Law

The Waimea Women’s team headed over to Blenheim to play against Central Women in the last game of the final round for the season.

An important game for the ladies, one to be used to practice set moves before this weekend’s final against long-time rivals Stoke.

Due to injuries and other commitments the starting line-up for Waimea was quite varied from the usual 15, and therefore the team started the game a bit flat and seemingly lacking in any immediate urgency for possession or structured play. Unusual for Waimea but it wasn’t too long before the ladies to begin to settle in and start to play some good rugby.

Central wasted no time capitalising on any of Waimea’s weak moments and showing what they had been training hard at over the past few weeks cleaning out well, committing to their tackles and generally keeping Waimea on their toes the whole game.

After some encouraging and constructive words at half time, a noticeably different side came out to play in the second half. Better communication meant some good structure began to show through in set plays, and morale of the team increased quickly as did points on the board. Waimea finished strong with some well set up tries being awarded, ensuring a solid win for the team 36-0.

Next Saturday is the final of the Senior Women competition for the year. Waimea take on Stoke at Jubilee Park.

Draft Tasman District Council Local Alcohol Policy

Notice of intention to grant a lease to part of the Brightwater Recreation Reserve

The Tasman District Council has prepared a draft Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) with which it wishes to consult with the community. The object of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (the Act) is in brief focussed on reducing alcohol related harm. The Act allows councils to develop Local Alcohol Policies (LAPs) for their territorial areas.

The draft LAP The draft LAP for Tasman District contains the following types of licensing policies: •

variations on the maximum trading hours set in the Act for on-licences and for off-licences;

•

various discretionary conditions for on-licences, off-licences, club licences and special licences, including a discretionary one-way door policy for pubs, nightclubs and taverns;

•

restrictions are set on the location of new licensed premises.

In preparing the draft LAP the Council considered a range of policy options, some of which have been rejected/not included in the draft LAP. For your information, these are listed after the Statement of Proposal.

The Tasman District Council intends to grant a lease to part of the Brightwater Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977.

The lease area will cover the land/building formerly used by the Bowling Club, including the former greens. More recently it has been used by Tasman Volleyball Association. This land is situated at the southern end of the reserve, near the reserve entrance off Charlotte Lane, Brightwater.

It is intended to grant a five year lease to joint tenants, the Tasman Volleyball Association and Wanderers Sports Club.

The authorised use for the leased land/buildings will be for the existing volleyball administration use and existing Beach Volleyball use, plus the new activity of an indoor gymnasium to be used by members of the Wanderers Sports Club, utilising the former lounge.

Further information may be obtained by contacting Susan Mathieson on, Ph. 543 8400, or via Email on susan.mathieson@tasman.govt.nz

The full Statement of Proposal may be inspected during ordinary office hours at Council’s Office, Service Centres or Libraries.

It is proposed that the existing Bylaw remains generally in force, but three specific areas are removed from the control of that existing Bylaw, and brought under the control of the proposed Tasman District Council (Motueka and Pohara Foreshore) Freedom Camping Bylaw. The Tasman District Council Freedom Camping Bylaw 2011 is amended consequentially.

The three areas that are the subject of these changes are: i

Port Motueka area, including the North Street reserve and Motueka Beach Reserve;
