Egg-cellent celebration Brightwater cars targeted by brazen thieves There’s no better way to celebrate World Egg Day than a free breakfast of scrambled, poached and boiled eggs – just ask Ewing Poultry. The Main Rd Hope-based company will be putting on a free breakfast this Friday morning for fellow egg lovers. The breakfast runs from 7am9am and will feature plenty more than just the little white egg says owner Gwen Ewing. World Egg Day was first started by the International Egg Commission. In Austria, a giant balloon took to the skies to celebrate World Egg Day. But Gwen wanted to celebrate the day a little closer to home. “Although it is celebrated in New Zealand, it’s not celebrated here, so we didn’t want Nelson to miss out,” she says. As you can imagine, catering won’t be easy, but Gwen says they’re sure they will cope regardless of how many come. “There’s going to be egg omelettes, bacon and sausages with egg, we’re doing eggs benedict and there’s colouring in competition.” So when the children are finished their breakfast they can colour in Humpty Dumpty sitting on the wall. “We’re also doing a poached egg competition where the public can have a go and there’s also egg and spoon races.” The day will go ahead regardless of the weather.

A spree of thefts from cars in Brightwater has police urging residents not to leave valuables in their car and keep it locked – even if it’s up your driveway. In the past six weeks there have been 12 to 15 motor vehicles reported broken into and ransacked, a figure usually seen over an entire year, says senior constable Peter Cobeldick, of Wakefield. He states the number is probably higher, with some break-ins going unreported. The thief targets unlocked cars, taking mobile phones, iPods, cash, passports and wallets; someone even reported that a box of Kit-Kats was taken. A pattern is beginning to emerge, says Peter. Locked cars in the same vicinity were left untouched and no property has been damaged, so those who secure their vehicle are less at risk, but it’s also important not to leave valuables in the car he says. Coming into school holidays, Peter urges parents to keep an eye on their chil-

dren. Though it is not necessarily teenagers responsible, parents should contact the police if they notice their child with anything suspicious, like new electronics or cash. “We need to know so we can hopefully nip it in the bud and catch the culprit, or culprits. We can’t work blind,” he says. A victim of the crime spree says that he was absolutely amazed at the police response. “I can’t get over how efficiently and quickly they responded. I have every confidence that they’re doing everything they can.” His car was parked on his property and the theft happened overnight. As he was leaving for work in the morning he says that he noticed immediately that the car had been interfered with; the doors were open and the contents of the glove compartment were strewn on the seat. Having lived in Brightwater for several years with no problems, he was alarmed that this could happen at his own house; “It was a little bit of a wakeup call.”

Olympians make a splash at Aquatic Centre Olympians Corney Swanepoel and William Benson dived in to the ASB Aquatic Centre on the weekend, part of the Olympian Stroke & Skill Clinic. Boys and girls of all ages were given lessons on starts, turns, technique, and nutrition and they even got a chance to race with and against their heroes. Former swimming champion Paul Kent, who is now the director of the Magic New Zealand Swimming Academy, was also in attendance. SwimMagic Central/Southern area manager Lisa Stove says it was an “awesome” event and something that will be looking at holding at least Olympic swimmers Corney Swanepoel and William Benson dove into Richmond to up-skill lo- once a year, after the superb feedback from the swimmers. cal swimmers at the ASB Aquatic Centre’s Olympan Stroke & Skill Clinic.

Church fair on this weekend The annual Richmond Church of Christ fair is back, and so are the pikelets. The fair will be taking place this Saturday from 9am-12noon and features all of its regular favourites plus much more. The fair will feature abundance of plants and growing seedlings, as well as cakes, the famous home made pikelets, a bouncy castle for the

kids. There’s always plenty of great bargains for sale. This day is the biggest event on the calendar for the Richmond Church of Christ and is always heavily supported by the local community and pastor Steve Rollo is confident it’ll be another great day. “Each year the support we get is just fantastic, and there’s going to be plenty of fun again this year.”

“The feedback was that they would certainly do it again and that everybody learnt heaps,” says Lisa. There were six clinics held during the weekend with each of them holding up to 28 swimmers. Lisa says it was particularly impressive to see Corney and William get in to the pool themselves and have a swim around with the kids. “The personality of the guys was pretty special really. For them to jump in the pool with all the kids was just really great. I think they all enjoyed it, especially both Corney and William.” Lisa is now looking at ways they can bring them back, despite Corney’s busy schedule in the lead up to the London Olympics next year.

Waimea schools help kick off arts fest School children from the Waimea region took center stage during the annual opening of the Arts Festival – the Masked Parade. Richmond School won a prize for having the most interesting interpretation of this year’s theme, Playful Pacifica. Central School won the Supreme Group Award with their whole school in mask and costume, divided into sections of earth, water, fire and air. The judges, Annabel Norman, Kath Bee, Darryl Frost and Gemma Laing says Central stood out for the overall impact of their entry. “It was striking, it fitted really well with the theme, it was a very powerful entry that had taken a lot of effort and it was great to see the whole school involved,” says Annabel. Long time Masked Parade entrant Faye Wulff won the Supreme Individual Mask with an intricate blue papier mache creation; the Supreme Family Mask award went to the Lowe family with their brightly coloured entry Super Star Fish; the Family Judges’ Pick went to the Fraser family; the Individual Judges’ Pick went jointly to Zara Palmer and Sirpa Alalaakkola; the Merry Makers’ Mask award went to Alegria Beat, a Pacific musical group dressed as octopuses, who also won the Best Community Band. The Nelson Arts Festival is a celebration of the arts and continues until October 24.

Teacher aide celebrates 82nd birthday Rosie Thomsen Barry Holden could not walk though the playground at Waimea Intermediate School without being stopped by students calling out birthday wishes, as he celebrated his 82nd birthday last week. Cleve Shearer, principal at Waimea Intermediate, feels Barry has been a real asset to the staff. “Great guy;” he says emphatically, “he wandered in about seven years ago, came in as a volunteer, and then we started him with small groups. Then one day we were talking in management and we realised that some of the work he was doing was so valuable we couldn’t afford to do without him.” Barry now works as a teacher’s aide three days a week with three different classes, going to the library or the computer rooms, helping with reading and maths, especially with special needs children. “If a kid looks puzzled, I sit beside them and try to sort it out,” he says. He’s able to see things that sometimes the teachers miss, and help on an individual level with students who sometimes need a little more help. Even in the playground the children often run up to him with questions, such as what schooling was like when he was young: “They’re fascinated with anything they consider to be old, I get a lot of strange questions. I tell them the stories about why I got six of the best from the headmaster, all that sort of thing fascinates them, belongs to another day and age, doesn’t it.” Barry retired early, but as he was still in good health, he wanted to do something more. He says this is a good third career; with six grandchildren of his own, Barry feels he has a gift for relating to people of primary school age. He works with year 7 children, but is still cherished by his former students. “I still recognise them all. They come up and high five me, I enjoy that,” he says.

Trust in police at all time high Public trust in the police throughout the Tasman District has continued to rise, according to a recent survey. Results have been high since the survey was introduced four years ago, this year reaching 77 percent, a two percent increase since last year. The survey showed that people are feeling safer in their neighbourhoods and town centres in particular. Response shows that 95 percent of residents feel secure in their safety during the day, and 80 percent still feel safe after dark. Overall, 81 percent of people are satisfied with the police, and feel that they respond well to the needs of the community, with 91 percent feeling that the local police staff are competent. Tasman Police also rated highly for fair treatment of citizens and 88 percent attested that their expectations were met or exceeded. Gary Knowles, commander superintendant for the Tasman Police District, believes the results reflect the high levels of commitment and professionalism in the force. “We place a lot of emphasis on providing a professional service and these results are a great accolade for my staff.” He noted particularly the response to the officers during the Rugby World Cup, and the positive feedback they received from locals as well as international visitors.

Nelson’s used glasses are finding a second use, thanks to a local club and optometrist. The Lioness Club of Nelson and Matthews Eyewear have teamed up to collect disused eyewear before testing them and then sending them to some of the Pacific’s poorest countries. There, volunteers fit the glasses with locals. Lioness Club of Nelson president Yvonne Kleiven says the project is extremely worthwhile and helps hundreds of people to see again. “It’s a wonderful project and has huge benefit. The people that get these glasses really appreciate them,” she says.

Henley kids raise St John cash Ben Gill, a ten year old St John cadet, exceeded his goal at the fundraiser he coordinated at Henley School. He, and two other cadets, managed to raise $541 through a mufti-day coin trail, with $500 of the effort being donated to the Nelson Events Ambulance Appeal, and the remainder going towards the Richmond St John Youth Division. St John is grateful to Henley School for supporting their work, and feel that this is a fantastic result. “We are very impressed with the boys’ enthusiasm for raising funds for St John, which will benefit the community,” says Sarah McCabe.

Henley School has been awarded two pieces of the Ambulance Appeal Puzzle, an initiative being run through the Nelson Marlborough district to fund a new St John’s ambulance for events. The fund tally now sits at $24,500, thanks in part to Ben’s contribution. A new ambulance will cost $120,000 and St John appeal co-ordinator says the demand is very high, so was grateful for Ben’s efforts. “His enthusiasm has led other cadets in to doing their own fundraisers as well and it all helps,” says Sarah. For details, or to donate, go to www.stjohn.org.nz/nelsonpuzzle.

NEWS IN BRIEF EYEBRIGHT LAUNCHES THE CHRISTMAS SEASON: Haka Santas and rugby ball Christmas decorations will be winging their way to all corners of the globe this December, thanks to the bumper preChristmas weekend Eyebright has just experienced. The Eyebright Christmas opening this coming Wednesday October 12 has been preceded by a major weekend of festive fever as visitors flocked into the store in the hope of seeing the Christmas displays early. Eyebright co owner Adrienne Owen says they have never before seen such a fever pitch of pre-Christmas enthusiasm and excitement. She says people seem eager to put behind them the widespread misery created by the Christchurch earthquakes and the tough economic times. The Eyebright opening is on this Wednesday from 11am to 8pm. ViRTUAL TRAIL SALES GENERATE REAL WORLD INTEREST: The Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust has started selling virtual sections of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail to individuals, organisations and businesses to help generate funds that will go towards the 172km cycle trail; and interest in the initiative has been huge. Selected sections of virtual trail were sold on a first come first served basis at the official Rabbit Island/Mapua Ferry open day on the 2 October 2011; by the end of the day over $2000 worth of prime virtual trail had been snapped up by local individuals and businesses, plus one visitor from Australia, keen to display a ‘GPS certificate’ of support. The Trust needs to generate approximately $4m in funds to ensure it can complete the full 172km loop, which will enable national and international cycle tourists and local residents to ride bikes from Nelson airport out through Rabbit Island, Motueka, Tapawera, Wakefield and back to Richmond. For more information on how you can secure your own unique virtual section of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail go to www.heartofbiking.org.nz or contact Fiona Newey on Ph. 539 0266.

Top artists take Waimea College awards Jonathan McKeown Almost 150 students have been acknowledged for their contribution to the Arts as Waimea College held their annual arts award ceremony to celebrate both participation and achievement this year. Always the creative types, the ceremony had a masked theme and the presentations were punctuated with dance, song, theatre and jazz, a fitting celebration for a vibrant sub-culture in the school. “Waimea College is very supportive towards the arts within the school and in the community,” says Trish Sullivan, arts coordinator at the school. The major awards, for overall contribution across the four disciplines, were chosen by the heads of those departments for students that have both excelled in the subject, contributed within and outside of the school, as well as making a contribution to the ongoing success of the subject in the future. The major award for overall contribution to visual arts went to Nicole Currie, Patrick West picked up the R.C. Bryant Cup for Music, Abby Hammond was awarded the Candace Burcin Cup for Dance with the Nel-

son Repertory Theatre Cup for overall contribution to drama going to Angus Graves. The arts are an integral part of the curriculum at Waimea College and those involved have opportunities to excel on multiple stages, but the students take that in their stride,” they say. “It’s great, there is always something going on, you get to act crazy and weird its considered normal,” laughs Angus. Among many other credits Angus was Captain Hook in the Nelson Youth Theater’s Peter Pan, he both directed and acted in a play in the National Shakespeare competition and was a member of the theater sports team. The other three major winners were just as busy and productive. This week Abby is off the Dance Nationals and Nicole has her own art exhibition coming up and her work is also on show in the Oi You! Urban Art Exhibition with the likes of Banksy and Paul Insect. The leadership of these students and the staff has also assured the talent and commitment keeps coming as a large number of those celebrated came from years 9 and 10. Trish is proud of the triumphs this year but also animated about the future. “We have a huge arts department and it is flourishing.”

Organisers expect locals and visitors to embrace the Fanzone set up in Nelson too. “Having seen such a great turnout at each of our live games at Trafalgar Park, the Fan-

zones offer an opportunity to keep that buzz alive,” says Susan Coleman, RWC 2011 Nelson regional director. “It is the next best thing to being at a live game is to be amongst thousands of other supporters.” A selection of great local bands has been lined up to provide free pre-match entertainment from 6pm. The rugby action begins with kick off at 9.00pm each evening.

• With the huge influx of visitors to the region over the past few weeks and the “celebration of the oval ball” reaching a climax – the region has been buzzing with excitement, including the lucky daily winners of “THE” rugby jersey at Richmond Mall – congratulations to you all.

Auto course a step to the future for youth Jonathan McKeown In February this year Allan Brooks left school as soon as he turned sixteen, a dicey decision in a tight job market. “I thought to myself what do I do now, will I be able to get a job,” says Allan. Seven months later and Allan has finished the Automotive Course at the Nelson Technical Institute, achieving two local certificates and some national certificates. He also gained some part-time work to test his new skills. Allan admits it was tough few weeks after leaving school and he wasn’t sure what lay ahead. “A couple of teachers tried to get me to stay, they were good teachers but I wasn’t interested in school because I didn’t enjoy it.” It wasn’t until he attended the Nelson Technical Institute open day everything sort of fell into place. “Everyone has a good time but it’s all about doing the work and I’m quite impressed with what I achieved in seven months,” Allan beams. The young man enrolled on the “Say Wot?” course at “Say Wot?” employment skills course at NTI, with the goal of

following the tertiary education pathway into their automotive programme. “All the staff are really proud of the effort Allan put in would like to give him recognition for all his effort he has put into achieving his goals” says Sarah Nilsen of NTI. Allan’s mum Sarah Brooks admits she was not too happy about the situation at the start of the year. “I was a bit worried actually, I thought he was too young to be leaving school.” Sarah says when Allan made the decision to go the Nelson Technical Institute; she knew it was the right move. “He had wanted to do mechanics for quite a few years and coming here (NTI) he would get NCEA qualifications as well”. The value of continuing an education and learning new skills is always important but like many teenagers, Sarah knows Allan didn’t always fit in well at school. “It is different from school, I think the structure here is different, it wouldn’t work for everyone but it worked for Allan, and they kept him on course,” she says.

Firefighters rise to the challenge A few dozen fire fighters were all action at the A & P Showgrounds on the weekend, competing in the annual Waterway Challenge. Teams came from all over the South Island to compete and hone their drills, but the speed and accuracy gained in competition also helps to save lives, says Nelson Marlborough provincial association secretary Craig Piner. “The Waterway Challenge involves all the skills you use as a firefighter being run in a timebased competition, setting up hoses and knocking down targets,” he says. It was a chance for the regions volunteers to test their skills in a bit of friendly competition. “You would think it might have been a bit of fun and people do enjoy it, but the competition does get quite serious,” Craig says. Takaka took out the overall honors in the competition but Richmond took plenty of praise for the way they hosted the event.

Local glass business expands Don’t let the name fool you, Richmond Glass now has a shop in Nelson city. The locally-owned glass company has been operating in Richmond for the past 20 years and for most of that time has served its Nelson customers from its Richmond base. But demand has now forced an expansion, with it opening a new store in Vanguard St, opposite Countdown. Richmond Glass still has its headquarters on Gladstone Rd in Richmond but its new Nelson branch is in the premises vacated by Smith & Smith Glass. It opened its doors to the new store last Monday. Manager Wayne Ballis says the move has filled a gap in the Nelson market and will allow its technicians to access its

Nelson customers more easily. “We are now the only glass business in Nelson city that offers all glass options, the others focus just on auto. But we do auto, houses, ballestrades, anything glass, we do it.” Richmond Glass has built up a solid reputation and is one of the only glass businesses advertising a 24/7 service. “We are happy to do 24/7 and we are fully mobile. We are also the only bigger glass company that is locally owned.” Wayne says Richmond people who work in Nelson can also drop off their cars before work to get any glass work fixed and then walk to work in the CBD. “We’ve already found a heck of a lot of people take advantage of that,” he says.

Choose Richmond Glass to double glaze your existing windows Retro-fit double glazing lets you enjoy the warmth and comfort of your existing home by replacing your single glass with the latest ThermaTech double glazing. Richmond Glass has been carrying out this straightforward process in many different kinds of homes, mainly around the Top of the South Island but also as far south as Arthurs Pass, for several years, giving homeowners warm results while also lowering their energy costs. Whether you have timber or aluminium framed windows, Richmond Glass has a double glazing solution to suit your needs. If you have aluminium-framed windows, a retro-fit could not be more simple. Richmond Glass replaces the existing exterior glazing beads with the manufacturer’s double glazing beads. Where that’s not possible, Richmond Glass uses its own multi-fit double glazing retaining beads, and where necessary, its new opening sashes. The new beads are powder coated or anodised to closely match the colour of your existing window frames. If you have timber-framed win-

dows, Richmond Glass uses the patented ‘Retro Fit NZ’ drainage adaptor energy saving system which allows all existing timber windows to be retained. With a retro-fit you have the best of both worlds; your home is virtually unchanged plus you gain all the benefits of double glazing. The work is quick and unobtrusive. Richmond Glass experts will measure your windows, the new units will be made locally in Nelson and a date set for your double glazing to be installed. Richmond Glass advises you every step of

the way. One of the company’s home improvement representatives will call on you and outline your options. A quotation is supplied without cost or obligation. Richmond Glass also checks that the task can be done within the building’s structure and that all technical specs and measurements are correct. Dealing with Richmond Glass you know that your home is entrusted to a leader in the glazing industry in New Zealand. Whatever the size or shape of your windows, Richmond Glass will handle it.

How does double glazing work

The two sheets of glass are line bonded by computer control to precise tolerances with a special dual seal around an aluminium spacer. Individual windows up to 3.15 by 2.4 metres can be produced.

Richmond Glass uses ThermaTech double glazing which consists of two or more panes of glass separated by an aluminium spacer, bonded together to form a completely sealed unit called an Insulating Glass Unit or IGU. Heat and cold pass through single glass, whereas ThermaTech units trap a layer of air or Argon gas between two panes, creating a kind of blanket that protects the warmth of your interior. This reduces heat transfer from inside to outside during winter and outside to inside in the summer months,

ensuring improved warmth and cooling in your home and also reducing energy costs by significant amounts.

Planitherm total low E glass for maximum effect Planitherm Total Low E Glass is a high performance Low E coated glass, made of clear float glass on which a thin, transparent coating has been deposited by magnetron technology. This coating drastically reduces the heat transfer between inside and outside. Planitherm Total Low E Glass thermally performs approximately 10 percent better than standard hard

WEDNESDAY 12 October 2011

coat Low E glass commonly used in New Zealand. On top of this it does not suffer from the haze effect of standard hard coat Low E. The finished product has a near crystal clear appearance that will not interfere with your views.

Stay warm without condensation As a building’s interior is warmed, there is an increased prospect of condensation, mould and mildew. Condensation forms when warm air containing moisture meets a cold window surface. If the conditions are right “dew point”

is reached and condensation forms. As the inner pane of ThermaTech glazing remains substantially warmer than single glazing, condensation is dramatically reduced. Nothing can completely eliminate condensation but ThermaTech double glazing comes close. In many cases moisture problems disappear forever, while in other situations just a small amount of condensation forms at the bottom of a window or frame. This is caused by factors such as ventilation rather than glazing. If you’re building new or have an existing home that needs warming then call Richmond Glass.

GET OUT THE RED CARPET: Flooring Xtra’s Taryn Hume, Jenette Ley, Lorraine Archer, Tania Smith and Yulia Matriets. Photo: Rosie Thomsen.

Flooring Xtra have again named Hubbers Flooring Xtra, in Richmond, as the South Island’s Top Shop. Judged on merits such as store presentation, relationship with customers, and overall excellence, the store scored top marks in each section. This is the third time they have won the award, which is presented biannually. They have also won it three times in the past eight years. Opinions from secret shoppers, customers, clients and independent judges went into the selection of the

winner from 63 stores throughout the South Island. They are a multi-award winning store, taking out other awards such as the Cavalier Bremworth. Gerald Beattie maintains that it’s because they are a “top performer, and get your bums in here to see why.” He says it’s a great honour for the store. “It’s a measure for ourselves to know that we’re presenting the store, giving good customer service, leaving every thing set up and easy for clients to access, we get feedback from reps that go in to it. It’s a real positive.” Advertorial.

Hyundai fastest growing automotive brand

Hyundai has been named the fastest growing automotive brand for the second year running, by global brand consultancy firm Interbrand. This year saw the company rise four places to number 61 in the top 100 annual ranking of the world’s 100 best global brands. Interbrand calculates rankings based on company balance sheets, marketing activities and each brand’s potential profit. The organisation said Hyundai “displayed the most memorable performance continuing from the previous year, despite the growth slowdown of global brands”. Hyundai’s brand value increased from US$3.5 billion in 2005 to US$6 billion in 2011. “This award recognises the strong growth Hyundai continues to experience both at a local level in New Zealand and Internationally. It’s also an endorsement of Hyundai Motor Company’s new brand strategy launched in January 2011, and the fact that the company’s continued commitment to building ‘modern premium’ vehicles, is gaining traction,” says the Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau. In New Zealand, sales of Hyundai vehicles are up 27 per cent compared to 2010, at a time when the overall New Zealand automotive industry grew by just 8.2 percent. In August, Hyundai New Zealand achieved the highest number of sales in its 29 year history, while internationally, Hyundai Motor Company was named the most improved car manufacturer of the last decade by UK based Auto Express. Tom Ruddenklau says, it has been a great year for Hyundai New Zealand, and the brand’s popularity continues to go from strength to strength. “We are confident that momentum will continue to grow as we gear up for the launch of the i40 Wagon and Veloster models later this year, adding to our range of well designed, economic, 5 star ANCAP safety rated vehicles.” Tom says the recently launched Elantra was named AutoPacific’s Ideal Compact Vehicle in September, while the i45 was named the 2011 International Car of the Year.

The Place for Great Coffee Ph 544 9500 20 Oxford St, Richmond

The perfect cup of coffee can be hard to find. At Cafe on Oxford, not only will you always get the perfect cup, they offer a variety of tastes and strengths to suit everyone and any occasion. Award winning barista Guy McCracken has increased their focus on coffee; his goal is to ensure the optimum bean for all taste buds. He employs three different filter methods at his brew bar; Siphon, Aeropress and Swiss Gold, to cater to all tastes and range through from a soft flavour, for easy drinking, right through to a strong cup to jump start your day.

The cafe also boasts a La Marzocco Strada MP, a top-of-the-range coffee machine, and the only model of its kind in New Zealand. The machine, rather than having a set pressure, incorporates a mechanical paddle that allows for pressure control and progressive pre-infusion. Guy has utilised this, experimenting with blends and temperatures to discover what makes a great cup of coffee. He is currently working on perfecting a house blend, as well as an espresso blend, that will be unique to Cafe on Oxford. But you don’t need to worry about the details, just know that you’ll get the best taste, every time. Cafe on Oxford ensures the quality of your cuppa by being exclusive about who makes it. When you order a coffee, it will be made either by Guy himself, or Erika Nalsund, his protégé whom he has trained personally to ensure consistency and the highest standard. Guy and his wife have been with the Cafe for two years and took full

But let’s be honest, we are all down by kidney failure. For 10 years Vidiri has guilty at times of being grumpy. Sometimes it been waiting for a kidney transplant to get him is justified: I got a $45 parking ticket recently off a dialysis machine to keep him alive. When and was not a happy chappie!

Athletes ready to master games The South Island Masters Games is finally upon us. The event, which is being held in Nelson for the first time, will take place on 15 – 23 October. More than 3,000 athletes aged over 30 years old will compete across 50 sports, making it one of the largest participation events in the South Island. Games director Chris Thomas says he is thrilled at how Nelson has

got behind the games. “We had an expectation of around 1000 competitors to come from the Nelson region, so we are really impressed that Nelson registrations have exceeded 1500,” Thomas says. “The vast majority are from central Nelson suburbs, but we also have more than 300 from the wider Tasman region, including a group coming over from Golden Bay.”

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC: Emily Jensen, right, captained the Young Football Ferns in the desicive match of their three-game series with Australia. Photo: Shane Wenzlick / www.phototek.co.nz.

Emily leads to Ferns to series win Phillip Rollo A spot at the FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup could soon be a reality for Emily Jensen after the Richmond centre back inspired her Young Football Ferns side to a historic series win over bitter rivals Australia. The 16 year-old central defender was handed the captaincy armband for the final test, with New Zealand previously picking up a 3-1 win and 0-0 draw. And the Waimea College talent didn’t disappoint, leading her chargers to a historic series win with a come from behind 3-1 victory in Auckland. “It’s quite an achievement really. I don’t think we really know how much that rarely happens,” she says. “Australia came out and they pretty much gave us a good run for our money and scored the first goal. But we did it. We came back and thrashed them.” The three-match series was the perfect dress rehearsal before World Cup qualifying next year and Emily hopes the leadership role will count in her favour when the squad is announced in April, in lure of the sport’s pinnacle. “It’d pretty much be a dream come true. I’ve always wanted

to represent to New Zealand.” Emily says she was “pretty stoked” to see the C for captain next to her name on the team sheet and she definitely made her voice heard on the pitch. “Oh you just gotta tell the girls ‘how much do you want this?’ We knew we could beat them, we were all over them in the first two tests, we just had to believe in ourselves and go hard.” With the bulk of the squad living in Auckland, training together every second day, Emily says it can be hard to watch from afar in Nelson. “I’m always nervous coming up to Auckland because you know, it could be that they’re ten steps ahead of me but you come in and start playing around and you fit in. I don’t feel too out of place.” But when you are competing for a spot on the world stage, Emily says she needs to take any opportunity that will increase her chance for selection. While there has not been any pressure from family or coaches, a move to Auckland has always been on the back of her mind. “That’s the big decision that I have to make soon. Moving to Auckland would help tremendously for football. It’d give me a greater chance. But then there’s also moving schools, finding somewhere to stay, and I love Nelson. It’d be really hard to leave.”

Impatient Wanderers downed on day one Phillip Rollo It was two ex-Waimea College players who put the killer blows in to the Wanderers attack on Saturday, as the cricket season was officially opened. Stoke-Nayland’s Connor Neynens and Marty King both collected four wickets in the first innings to hold Wanderers to just 83 all out after just 37 overs. Connor, a New Zealand Under-19 representative, and Marty, were both wearing the red caps for the first time, after Waimea College folded as a senior team at the beginning of 2011. Only three Wanderers batsmen reached double figures and captain Dan Cooper says it was all down hill for the side that lacked patience, as soon as a quick succession of wickets fell. Joey O’Connor top scored with 21 runs and opener Tom Cross managed a start of 20, but there was no one down the pecking order to get them out of a hole. “Probably the biggest thing was them being patient bowling-wise,” says Dan. “They just didn’t change from their plan and we were just too eager to score runs.” And with the away side just managing 83, they failed to make any inroads with the ball in the Wanderers batsmen Joey O’Connor hits the ball past slip Ryan Edwards dur- following session. ing the opening two-day match of the season against Stoke-Nayland at Mars- Last season’s top scorer Mark Douglas ran up to 77 runs not out with Dean Hawley picking den Rec.

up the sole wicket of the innings, collecting Ben Alder for just 14. Dan says there will be plenty of soul searching in the coming days before tackling the second day of the game on Saturday. The addition of coach Mark Ogier will also go along way, he says. “We’ve just go to try and restrict them I think. We’ll have to attack early in the morning and then obviously if it doesn’t go to plan we’ll have to defend.” If Wanderers can’t restrict Stoke-Nayland, Dan says the team will have to become patient and bat the day out. “It’s a good wicket, as long as this rain stays off it and I think we’re capable of doing it. We can only improve really.” Elsewhere, at Greenmeadows Ricky Edwards remains unbeaten on 42, as Waimea Toi Toi United sit on 94/9, 72 runs short of Wakatu. With newcomers Athletic College Old Boys replacing Waimea College in the 2011/12 season, player movement has seen Wanderers and WTTU pick up plenty of talent. Left-arm spinner Dan Wightman and opening batsman Tom Ingham are the major gains for WTTU, who have also lost key man Greg Chitty, Clinton Harvey and Marty Kain to ACOB. Brad Smith has joined Wakatu while Wanderers have attracted batsmen Luca Roden, Lee Wright, legspinner Brodie Hanna and allrounder Tom Cross.

Softballers brave rain, chill The rain and the cold couldn’t deter the region’s top softballers as the season was fully underway after a delayed start. In the Premier A Men’s competition, Waimea Eagles were too good for the United Pirates, winning 13-0 in the sixth innings. Gareth Oliver pitched well for the Eagles letting only two batters on base the whole game. Nick Max fired on all cyclinders with the bat, hitting an automatic home run with two runners on base. Don Glenie from United even had some praise for the Waimea side after the match. “Waimea Eagles has always been a strong team and managed to over power the Pirates today,” he says. In the round’s other matches, Royals Maverix were too classy for the United Pirates, winning 12-6 in the seventh innings. And in a lower scoring affair the Stoke Eagles flew past United Titans 4-2 in the seventh innings. Three-time world champion Marty Grant was back pitching for the Titans. “It was nice to see Marty, who has so much passion for the sport, back in the limelight, and playing alongside his brother Peter.” In the Senior Men’s B Division Championship, Waimea Sonix were too good for Nelson College Gators, winning 11-2.

Business update Top Level Rugby Dilemmas Recurring sports injuries must be a real headache for coaches and selectors. Some time back, a Scottish medical specialist by the name of Barry Wyke mapped out how the brain controls and coordinates joints and their accompanying muscles, ligaments and tendons. Professor Wyke, a neurologist, and others, shed significant light on why injuries can occur from no obvious cause. He found that subtle disturbances to joint motion can interfere with the brain’s ability via nerves to coordinate muscle action. This often results in two powerful muscle groups opposing each other when one group should be relaxing. An overload occurs, which may result in ligament, muscle or tendon injury. This can show up after a seemingly harmless activity. Barry Wyke determined that specialised methods to correct joint action, other than strengthening

and stretching or maintaining fitness levels, is appropriate. Furthermore, it’s an established fact that marrying metal to human tissue has its problems, among them inflammation and infection. A screw inserted into an ankle is one example. There’s an old saying: ‘Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.’ Perhaps it’s time for thinking outside the square. Clyde’s practice was established in Richmond in 1975. He is an honours graduate from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in the Midwest of the United States, and was involved in electronics in New Zealand for six years prior to his chiropractic studies. His interest in chiropractic was the result of a horse riding accident in his youth and later experiences with his wife’s severe allergies.

It won’t fly without it’s electronics - neither can your health.

HAVING A GO: Chris Ecroyd at the Richmond Bowling Club’s ‘Have A Go Day.’ The day gave members of the public a great chance to try a sport they hadn’t previously done, but as club president Collen Kempton says it was also a chance for former players to get back in to the sport. Colleen says she was amazed at the turnout with the club hosting its biggest ‘Have a Go Day’ in history. “We had approximately 22 visitors, about six of those were children and there was great support by the club members too, which was good to see,” says Colleen. “We were overjoyed with the turnout and we’ve already picked up four new members from the day so it was well worth it.” Indoor bowls was ran for the children who turned up. “Yeah the kiddies needed smaller indoor bowls because they couldn’t quite handle the normal ones, but it was such a nice day and everyone stayed on for hours.” The club also hosted a sausagae sizzle for all the keen punters that showed up. The Richmond Bowling Club kicked off its summer season just three weeks ago. If you are interested in joining the club, contact Colleen on 544 6462.

Football festival kicks in to action The region’s biggest junior football tournament kicked in to action earlier this week with teams from all over the South Island competing in Nelson for three days. Teams from as far as Dunedin and Central Otago competed in the 40th annual Jack McKnight Football Festival, a tournament that pits the South Island’s top 11 year-olds against each other. Nelson Bays Football development officer George Campbell says the tournament just gets better and better each year and the standard of football has increased dramatically. The professional way in which the tournament is presented has also been talked about, says George.

Players and coaches must stay in technical areas and all referees are fully trained and qualified, he says. Even the same ball must be used throughout the tournament. “It’s a great revenue earner for the town as well. Everybody that comes here is very impressed by the standard and the detail that we put in. Without bragging, people come up and say there’s no better tournament anywhere.” George says Nelson Bays Football had estimated that close to $750,000 comes in to the Nelson/Tasman region from the tournament. Nine teams were competing from Nelson Paige Fergusson of Brightwater competes in the Nelson White 11th grade girls over the three days. team at the Jack McKnight football tournament.

Navigation Safety Action: Extension of Temporary Reservation of wastewater pipeline corridor across Waimea Inlet between Bells Island and Monaco Pursuant to provisions of the Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw 2005 (Amended 2006) and the Local Government Act 1974, the Tasman District Council and Nelson Harbourmasters granted a temporary reservation to March Civil Ltd of a corridor of the waters of Waimea Inlet between Bells Island, Saxton Island and Monaco, for the installation and maintenance of a wastewater pipeline between 14 February 2011 and 20 October 2011. Due to unanticipated delays, this has been extended until 31 January 2012. The effect of the temporary reservation is to allow contractors involved in the project to control access to or across the reserved area, including defining or closing navigable channels for small craft, in the interests of safety. Closures will be notified by signage at Best Island, Rabbit Island, Monaco and Akersten Street boat ramps, and by broadcast on local marine radio stations from time to time. Sheet piles will be temporarily installed. These will be marked with yellow retroreflective tape in most cases, with those defining the available channel(s) for navigation showing port or starboard lateral mark characteristics. Usual hours of work on the project will be 7.00 am to 6.00 pm, but navigation restrictions may be in force at any time. Mariners are required to observe and use only the marked route(s) across the reserved area, and take care that their wake, speed or proximity does not cause risk of harm to contractors (who may be involved in underwater operations), or risk of damage to structures including equipment and pipes. A number of other conditions have been imposed on March Civil Ltd, which may be viewed by contacting either the Harbourmaster on Ph. 03 543 8433/027 246 1904 e-mail: harbourmaster@tasman.govt.nz or Gary Kennedy of March Civil Ltd during office hours.
