Gold miner claims gear sabotaged Andrew Board

TEDDY PARTY AT WASHBOURN: Richmond’s Helena Pope with daughter Pela, 2, at the Tiny Tot’s Toys and Teddies Party held at Washbourn Gardens on Sunday. Children young and old attended the annual event, put on by the Tasman District Council, and community recreation officer Paul McConachie says it was the biggest turnout

the event has seen in its seven year history. Families parked up on blankets to watch local singer songwriter Kath Bee perform and the children made the most of the amusements available such as cricket gear, balloon animals, face painting, a bouncy castle and an obstacle course.

Tensions appear to be at boiling point in Murchison as a local gold mining company says it has been the target of serious sabotage. TGG Mining director and shareholder David Thurlow has issued a $26,000 reward for information leading to an arrest as he believes mining equipment and stock have been damaged and the lives of employees endangered. But police say they haven’t received any recent complaints from David Thurlow or the company which it described as “pretty odd”, considering the allegations. TGG Mining was issued with resource consent in 2009 to mine for gold on the Matakitaki River. Since then there has been allegations of non-payment by at least one contractor. David Thurlow hung up the phone when Waimea Weekly attempted to reach him for com-

ment this week and later directed it to the Murchison News, where a full list of the alleged incidents were printed. Information supplied to the News lists damage to three excavators, welders, compressors, pumps, conveyor belts, a dredge, the engineering shop, fuel tanks being contaminated and gold being stolen. Off site, the company claims employers, employees and their partners have been subject to lewd and offensive behaviour, have been followed and intimated in their vehicles, tried to be forced off the road, swerved into at high speeds , forcing them to take evasive action. It believes fences have been cut so stock would get out onto the road at night, tractors fuel tanks have been contaminated, a road vehicle’s brakes were sabotaged and a milk silo was damaged. “We have recently installed a surveillance system at the mine site after two people were spotted watching the area,” it said.

“I’ve got no double storey buildings but I think it is good idea after this stupid building in Christchurch.”

“I don’t think it’ll affect us but I definitely think it’s a good idea. We need to keep our people safe.”

“You can’t put a price on safety but not everyone has a spare $2000 to get the review done.”

“Oh gosh no. That sounds crazy. I think it’s a bad idea. Where is the money going to come from?”

Alcohol arrests Last chance to Shop ‘n’ Win Nelson drivers failed badly during a trans-Tasman police blitz on alcohol. Police were out in force over the weekend for part six of Operation Unite, which involved police in New Zealand and Australia, including 43 officers from Nelson. Nelson police made dozens of arrests and breath tested 2545 drivers, with eight over the limit, putting the region amongst the worst in Australasia. “That’s a disappointing, discouraging result,” says inspec-

tor Brian McGurk. “That puts us as probably one of the more disappointing results across the two countries. Some places in Australia are getting half of that rate.” Police also caught out two licensed premises selling alcohol to minors, out of the 31 venues they visited. Ten infringement notices were issued to minors drinking. Brian says the crackdown on alcohol misuse will continue in Nelson as the holiday season kicks into overdrive.

Most buildings set for quake reviews

Shelley King Colour Designer Richmond

$4000

HOME MAKEOVER PACKAGE*

Phillip Rollo A Government proposal to have every single building, other than single storey homes, undergo earthquake safety reviews could force some businesses to close. The proposal is in response to a Canterbury Earthquake Royal Commission report on quake-prone buildings. It states that if the review does not meet the current 33 per cent threshold for seismic safety, the owner of the building will have to get it strengthened to meet that threshold otherwise it will be pulled down within 15 years. In Nelson, strengthened buildings must meet a new 67 per cent threshold and each buildingowner would have just five years to have the assessments done, once the law is changed. The Vic Brewbar, which is situated in a building first constructed in 1889, has just undergone hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of repairs, making it “the safest building in Nelson,” meeting the 100 per cent rating. General manager Phil Williams says his business benefited because it had a great working relationship with the landlords, but other businesses might not be so lucky. “I fear for business owners that don’t have landlords that are overly supportive,” says Phil. “They’ll struggle for sure.” He says The Vic Brewbar has faced six months of difficulty during the process, closing for three and a half weeks. “You still have bills going out but no money coming in. In today’s financial position it’s very difficult on business owners.” Opus International Consultants Ltd building solutions manager Hans-Peter Froeling says this

will have a massive impact on the Nelson region. However, he believed it was a good idea. “Absolutely, just because of the safety for people,” says Hans. He believed some businesses “might be” forced to close if there were significant strengthening costs involved. “I think the threshold should be even higher. It depends on what area of the country, because some areas are far more at risk than others.” He says the cost of an earthquake review varies depending on the complexity of each building, but that the minimum cost of a single building is usually between $2000 and $2500. But the proposal would be a huge upside for companies such as Opus, which are already employing more staff to cope with the ongoing demand. “It keeps quite a few of us busy. We have employed more staff but that will be the pressure with having to do so many properties, there is not enough staff in New Zealand to do it.” Hans believed it was a good idea for the results to be made public.

New board for skater mum For three weeks Sharee Dowdall was hoping to hear word of her stolen skateboard. She has had all the young skaters keeping an eye out for her and as a last ditch effort she sent a text message to the Waimea Weekly’s Your Voice column, hoping someone, somewhere would know something about it. The response wasn’t quite what she expected. Instead of the return of her own $250 board, a technology teacher at Nelson College offered to lend a hand and donate a board to Sharee. She says she was overwhelmed with the offer. “I love skateboarding and I’ve been doing it since I was five. I love the freedom of it and it gives me a chance to be by myself for a few minutes,” says the mother of three who volunteers her time at holiday programmes for children who skateboard. “I’d just bought [the board] and I’d been saving up for it and my mum chipped in some money for it as a birthday present so I was pretty gutted when it went missing.” Martin says he saw the text message printed in the Weekly and wanted to help. “We started making skateboards this year with the kids and we have a few extras here so I thought we’d see if we could help.”

Sharee says the board was stolen from the backseat of her car and it’s the third board she’s had stolen over the past 20 years. “This one was really annoying because it was my baby. I’d worked it in and it was really nice to ride but I’m still hopeful it will turn up.”

She says she decided to text her plight to the Weekly, hoping it would put more pressure on whoever took it to hand it in or help her find it, but was delighted with the outcome. “It’s really nice of someone to just come forward and offer to help.”

Construction has started on the first stage of a new classic boating complex at St Arnaud, which will include a café, retail shop and a boat storage facility. St Arnaud residents Pat and Wendy Gelling are behind the development, with strong support from the organisers of the New Zealand Antique and Classic Boat Show, Pete Rainey and Glenn Common. Pat says they are excited about the opportunities the new development will bring to the village. “St Arnaud is a lovely destination and we need more facilities to accommodate visitors and the growing resident population.” The boat storage will be a purposebuilt, secure, dry storage facility, while the 80 seat café will have a classic boat theme and the shop will stock local art, gifts and products relating to the outdoors. Pat says future stages of the development could include a museum.

Volunteers join cycle trail work Phillip Rollo The largest scale volunteer project the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trail Trust has witnessed helped build a new board walk in just one day, saving them a huge amount of time and money. The Rotary Club of Nelson brought close to 100 volunteers together, having initially planned for just 40, to finish a costal segment that runs behind the Nelson Pine Industries on Lower Queen St. Bill Gilbertson of the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust says the intention was always to get volunteers to help out in this particular segment. “That was the idea and Rotary came on board, which was fantastic of them,” says Bill.

The Rotary Club of Nelson partakes in a number of building projects around the region each year, with one member saying, “it was a great way for us to help as it’s something we’re really involved with.” Bill says there were some “fiddly” bits of the boardwalk that were not finished on the day but the majority of it was done in the space of a few hours. “We’re talking tens of thousands of dollars in terms of savings.” He says it was “really heartening” that volunteers had offered to help out all over the Great Taste Cycle Trail, which will eventually loop through Nelson, Kaiteriteri and Tapawera. “I think they see it as a community thing. It’s not just a tourism asset, it’s an asset for everyone.”

Waimea College students and staff got the ride of their life when they were treated to a sightseeing trip in a helicopter on Saturday. Students that achieved 100 per cent attendance records as part of the school’s junior graduation scheme were drawn out of a pool for a chance to ride in a chopper, a reward generously donated by local Richmond helicopter owner and operator Craig Boote. Craig annually provides the free rides as a reward to the students and a goodwill gesture to the school which is his next door neighbour. He says he frequently

uses the school field to take off and land his helicopter and six years ago Craig decided to give back to the school. “I just see it as a nice thing to do for the students that have worked hard. I was never all that smart at school and I struggled a fair bit, but I always gave 100 per cent and that’s what it’s all about. “You can only try the best you can in life and that’s all anybody expects, so it’s just a great way to reward the students that are working hard to be the best they can be.” School Principal Larry Ching says the treat was a fantastic reward for the students who achieved 100 per cent attendance, and says the gesture shown

by Craig was extremely appreciated. “Every year he takes a group of students and staff out and it is an awesome experience for them. Some of the students aren’t academic but to achieve 100 per cent attendance shows they have been here doing their darndest to do their best.” Student Alex Birchfield, 15, of Richmond says he was really excited to be given the chance to ride in the seven seater Eurocopter EC130. “It was so awesome to be up there. It’s something I’ve never done before so I’m really grateful for the opportunity.” The students flew above Richmond, Brightwater and the port.

Butcher brings up 50 years of work Graham Southward epitomises the old adage that if you do something you love you’ll never have to work another day in your life. Even after clocking up 50 years in the meat industry, the Wakefield butcher says he still enjoys waking up each morning for his job at Fresh Choice Richmond. The 66 year old third generation butcher left Christchurch Boys’ High School as a teenager to work in his uncle’s butchery. The career wasn’t exactly forced on him, initially hoping to become a sign writer. “I got home one day after doing exams and dad said ‘uncle Jim’s got a job if you want it.’ And I said ‘rightio,’ called uncle Jim

up and started on the Monday. I’ve never looked back since.” When he first began Graham was “mainly a washing up boy”, doing the odd-job around the store. “There was always a lot of scrubbing to do.” But after just two years of working for his uncle, Graham decided he wanted change. He applied for a job at the Miracle Meat Company, a firm that had 20 different shops in Christchurch. The difference between each butchery was minor, until the supermarkets started selling meat shortly after. But back in those days the meat prices were considerably lower, the popular choice from the customers was mutton and

blade bones out of the sheep were used to scoop mince. Graham was balloted into the national service in the 1960s, and was used primarily as a butcher and a cook. His butchering skills took him to the West Coast where he owned his own store, before deciding to shift north to Nelson with his wife and kids. Graham says customer service has always been the key part of the job and it’s something he continues with today at Fresh Choice Richmond. And there’s still no signs of retirement. “I still enjoy meeting people and that’s the main thing. I enjoy the working environment.” Graham Southward celebrated 50 years working as a butcher last week. Insert: Graham working as a butcher in the national service back in 1966.

Cycle trail: This week, like many other cyclists, I took full advantage of the now open bridge over the Waimea River on the Great Taste Cycle Trail. Congratulations and thanks must go to TDC, with Government assistance, for getting this segment of the cycle trail completed before Christmas. It is wonderful to now have an easy scenic, shortened, and safe cycle all the way to Mapua. I hope that the Mapua businesses will benefit as I see has happened in Brightwater. Merle Moffitt, Richmond. Algae kills family puppy: [It] makes you think twice. My dog may drive me mad at times but would hate this to happen to him or anyone’s dog. Feel for the family who lost their puppy. Marie Allen.

Waimea West has lost power though. Sarah-Daryn Haycock. That was the scariest thunder and lightening I’ve experienced for a while and went way longer than I’d have liked!! Jo Thelin. Fine for fraudsters should be higher: I manage a bar security company and we are trained to check thoroughly, partial responsibility should still lie with us and the bars.... But the ability to only fine the fraudster $1000 dollars is only a very small deterrent maybe greater responsibility should be with fraudster. A fine of $5000 or $10000 would that put them off? Stu Anderson.

Lightening storm: [Power] never went out in Brightwater just flicked, wicked storm. Jackie Cochrane.

Nick Smith to vote against gay marriage: Nick Smith shouldn’t have the right to vote against gay marriage. What two people do in their own private lives is up to them and who is he to say otherwise. I know plenty of people in same sex relationships and also know a lot of people who support gay marriage. Paula Stechman.

agrees is irrelevant - he has to vote this way to keep his seat. They are white middle to upper class conservative Nelsonians a large percentage Christian, and of the older generations. If younger people, lower class people, and atheists voted he probably wouldn’t be our MP and we might have a different MP who voted for gay marriage... Stacey Gambell.

Marriage has to move with the times. People should be free to choose. New Zealand is a country made up of many beliefs and cultures not just that of the Christians. Brett Thomason.

What’s the difference between his marriage and that of same sex?! Nothing! How would he like if he got told he couldn’t have marry his wife? He would be livered! Bridget Barnes. God says to love everybody, it does not matter whether they’re gay or straight. The bible says “love thy neighbour” not “love thy neighbour, unless they’re gay”. Everybody deserves love and to be loved, and getting married is a simple way of showing that love to another person. In 50 years’ time our grandchildren will look back at this issue thinking that we were idiots and about how disgusting it is, in exactly the same way that we look back on black civil rights.

Toy run fun Kyle Neeley leads more than 400 motorcyclists through Queen St during Saturday’s Ulysses Nelson Toy Run. Photo: Phillip Rollo. The biggest turnout on record greeted the Ulysses Nelson Toy Run with more than 430 motorcyclists making their way from Richmond to Nelson, bearing gifts and donations for the Salvation Army. The annual event, now in its 27th year, has become so iconic that committee member Allan Smith believes everyone knows about it – and the numbers were boosted with the help of Nelson’s glorious sunshine. “Any year that is over 400 is a good year for us. The weather was perfect. I think that over the years we’ve had an increasing number of family people that are turning up with their son or daughter on the back. We’ve got more motor scooters, the ride has got

better organised and better planned.” The ride takes motorcyclists from Cambridge St in Richmond to the Trafalgar Centre in Nelson. Riders can purchase a badge with the proceeds going to the Salvation Army, or alternatively they can bring a toy along to give as a Christmas present to the charity. The toys are often strapped to the fronts of the motorcycles. Around $1000 was raised from the event and Allan says the relationship between the club and the community has grown enormously in the past few years. “They remember the toy run as an iconic event that we support. We’re down at Speight’s Ale House every weekend and people see us and it draws in new members.”

their IT needs. A computer technician by trade, local Nelsonian Nigel Curtis and his wife Cheryl wanted to provide unbeatable IT services to local residents and businesses. With a great reputation to back up Nigel’s many years of experience, together they set up PC Systems in 1987. For 25 years they have helped Nelson businesses move with the times, from the installation of a first computer, setting up a company network to the arrival of the internet. Everyday Nelson people and small businesses use computer technology to their best advantage thanks to the team at PC Systems.Nigel says Nelson businesses have flourished from the implementation of efficient and reliable computer networks. When he first set up PC Systems, most small businesses could not afford to have a computer or didn’t know how to use one. Introducing computers, servers and networks streamlined local companies who up until that point had contracted all accounting and word processing out to bureaus or did it manually. The arrival of the internet saw Nigel successfully help Nelsonians make the most of the world wide web and he says computers are now a crucial backbone to any successful

The organisers of Saturday’s Carols by Glowlight in Brightwater believe the event has kicked off the festive season in the community. Hundreds of people turned up to sing carols alongside community groups and school students.

“Considering the stockcars were on and the weather was dodgy I thought we did really well,” says organiser Denise Adams, who said some event-goers had blankets all over themselves to shelter from the early wet weather.

This Week

Businesses’ access Tapawera holds Christmas Fair praised by forum Four businesses from four different sections of the NelsonTasman region were praised for their in-store accessibility last week. The Accessibility 4 All (A4A) Forum launched an accessibility checklist to help businesses meet the needs of customers with accessibility issues such as parents with strollers, people with sports injuries or people with disabilities. The checklist, which can be picked up from both council offices, is titled Good Access = Good Business. It is a self-assessment guide covering ten key areas that businesses may wish to consider to improve their accessibility and consequently attract more customers. As part of the launch, which was held at the Tasman District Council Chambers on Friday, four businesses were acknowledged for already demonstrating good awareness of accessibility. Those businesses included NZ Post Shop on Hardy St, McGlashen Pharmacy on Queen St, Astrolabe in Motueka and the Golden Bay Museum. Other businesses that were highlighted as having good accessibility included Shanton’s, Taylor’s in Nelson and Richmond, Coupland’s Bakery, Bendon in Nelson, Mondo Travel and most banks. The A4A forum, which is supported by the TDC and had its checklist printed thanks to funding from the Nelson City Council, had a mystery shopper visit each town’s CBD to review the accessibility. The forum has been in operation for three years. At the launch, A4A Chairperson councillor Judene Edgar said the checklist was about getting the public businesses to understand that access is not just about disability. “Whether it’s just walking down the footpath and there are wheelie bins in your way, even if you are totally able bodied, that is still an accessibility issue,” she says.

Beautiful home accessories for Christmas from $39

Local art and craft talent’s were showcased over the weekend at the second ever Tapawera Christmas Fair. Coordinator Sandra Nicholls says the event was a great success, with people coming from all over the Tasman region to enjoy the homegrown fair and the number of stall holder’s had doubled from the previous year. Sandra says the event was designed to provide a marketplace for local people to make a bit of extra money before Christmas and offer a low key fun fair for families to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Held in the Hidden Sculpture Garden and Gallery, handmade soap, up cycled goods, jewellery, hazelnuts, chickens and olive oil were among the goods up for grabs and Sandra says the fair was a good way to put Tapawera and its talented residents on the map. “We are a bit of an unrecognised place, so it’s a nice way to shine the light on Tapawera and all the great things we have on offer.” Jo Joice and Andrea Goodman were asked back to the event after their success at last year’s fair and Andrea says the “crafty mums” enjoyed selling their eclectic mix of handcrafted treasures. “It’s a beautiful setting and a lovely atmosphere, and for us it’s all about shopping locally.

Just a thought... A message to the bishop! Well actually it’s not personal, any ol’ Bishop will do. Any pope, poet, pastor, priest, leader or languisher. This message is for you – and this message is for me. Civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr was right when he said we (the church of Jesus Christ) are not the master of the state. Jesus did not plan a political take over, therefore we are not planning a political take over. Jesus did not subjugate people to his rulership. He did not dominate by force. Jesus was not a bully. However, He did ask really annoying questions to sick people like “do you want to be made well?” Neither are we simply the servant of the state. We are not the ultimate government agency with ‘God’ fairy dust added in for good measure. We are not sanctified soup givers! No, my dear friends, as Martin Luther King Jr says, we are to be the conscience of the state. We are God’s voice to the nation. Of course we take places of leadership in the market place and certainly help on a very practical level with the needs of the downcast. But our primary func-

tion is to be a voice of conscience to the people around us. The congregation of Jesus (church) will always be a prophetic voice to the nation where it dwells. So that all Steve Dunne, nations will one day Richmond be ‘glad in God’ as we Baptist are. Church. And with the prophetic voice comes prophetic reproach. Peter Robertson (NZ author, prophet and speaker) said this: “Prophets are God’s whistle blowers; writing the headlines no one wants to read; digging up the dead bodies in the Church’s backyard that no one wants to acknowledge”. The conscience needs to burn very cleanly into the church of Jesus’ followers before the citizens of New Zealand will look past our hype, big talk, steeple worship and revival rhetoric. The prophets of old never did well in a religious system that demanded, “the show must go on!” The modern New Zealand prophets will not do well with

pleasantries and dainty cakes and cuddles. Jewish Scholar Abraham Heschel said: “To a person endowed with prophetic sight, everyone else appears blind; to a person who perceives God’s voice, everyone else appears deaf, the prophet hates the approximate; he shuns the middle of the road. Man must live on the summit to avoid the abyss. The prophet’s word is a scream in the night. While the world is at ease and asleep, the prophet feels the blast from heaven. The prophet is human, yet he employs notes one octave too high for our ears, often his words begin to burn where conscience ends”. So my dear bishops, church wardens, life group leaders, youth communicators, prophets and priests let us shut down our irrelevant side shows. Let us resist man pleasing instead of God pleasing and come back to the voice that called you. Come back to the zeal of the burning heart of Jesus to bring His message to the people of NZ. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing, Joel 2:14 (NIV).

Bringing town to the country

Local country ladies were treated to a day of retail therapy when Nelson retailers brought a unique shopping experience to them at the Town to Country Christmas Fete on Sunday. The event, held at the Upper Moutere Community Centre, was the first of its kind and provided local rural living women and their families with the chance to get some Christmas shopping done without making a trip to the city. Organiser Nikki Walsh, manager of Prices Pharmacy, says the crowds through the day were up into the hundreds and the feedback she received from the event was fantastic. “Everybody is really enjoying it, there has been a steady flow of people through . The customers have loved the town-to-country feel and have taken home a lot of Christmas gifts, fragrance, jewellery and clothing.” Prices Pharmacy, Foxy Lady, Shine and House of Gifts were among those who took part.

We are super excited to announce the arrival of our fabulous new beauty therapist Natalie.

Fishing with

Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club This weekend is looking to be a good one to be heading out. If you’re after some pannie snapper try Rabbit Island around the eight metre mark. This seems to be where the pannies are, and go in closer if nothing is happening until you feel the paddle crabs grabbing your baits, then you know you’re in the right place. If you want bigger models head out to the deep around the 20 meters plus mark. The big boys are spawning now and will be gone soon. Long lines are the easiest way to get a horse but perseverance with a stray line will get them if you spend enough time trying. I’d recommend pilchards or whole salmon smelts with little or no weight. Use very light main line, 10lb-15lb with a 20lb leader, fluorocarbon.

Gurnard are in abundance and Delaware Bay is the go to spot for them. Make sure you drift around with flashers or slow jigs, carrots love attacking a moving target. There are still large schools of kahawai in the bay which are easy to target with spinning lures. A few rat kingfish have been caught and the odd big one has been seen by divers, so now is a good time to get that kingi gear sorted out and give it a nudge. The smaller kingfish are now arriving also along the Boulder Bank and spat farm so target them in the morning on an incoming tide with Rapala X-Rap 30 lures and you will have the best chance. Remember photos last longer than fish so only take enough for a feed and put some of the big ones back for your grand kids.

Siblings to square off in cricket final The Edwards brothers are now a key cog in the Nelson middle order. Having been reunited in the same team just twice since they were school boys, Ryan and younger brother Ricky have been enjoying their time at the crease together. However, this weekend the two brothers will come face to face again as Ricky’s Waimea Toi Toi United take on Ryan’s Stoke/Nayland in the Car Company two-day cricket final at Saxton Oval. Ryan lays claim to the sibling dominance at the moment, with the Car Company Stoke/Nayland widely perceived as the dominant force in the past five years. However, Ricky has had the upper-hand of late with Harrington’s Beer Cafe Waimea Toi Toi United collecting the most silverware last season and being the current twoday title holders. “We might have lost one of the six finals we’ve played against him,” say Ryan. “We came up against each other in one final last year which we won, but they obviously won the two-day final and the Kevin Scoble.” Before teaming up in the Nelson representative side, the last time the pair were on the same team was at Stoke/Nayland when Ricky was just 15 years old, around than 12 years ago. Ricky says teaming up with his older brother was one thing he hoped would continue despite playing at a different club. “Stoke was too strong at the time. I couldn’t make the senior side so I had to leave the club. A few of the guys out there contacted me and I tried to make a go of it,” he says. “Obviously when he went overseas it was never going to happen but now that he’s back it’s been really good playing alongside each other.” Ryan says the sibling rivalry is well and truly alive with some friendly banter shared via text message before each final. But he admits the loser doesn’t usually reply for a couple of weeks. “We take it pretty seriously when we play but afterwards if one of us happens to stumble there’s always a bit of banter. But we’re the first person to shake each other’s hand if the other one gets a 100. Me and Ricky have had an ongoing bet to see who would claim the Vonda Edwards trophy

[for the batsman with the most runs at the end of the season], which is obviously my grandparent’s trophy, so a text message will always come through to say ‘I’m catching you.’” The Edwards family continue to support both of their star boys, but it remains as a mystery as to which team they back come finals time. “I think they go into hiding. Dad usually gets asked a lot of questions but he generally doesn’t say a lot. He just says good luck to both of us.” WTTU will go into the weekend’s final as top qualifier, meaning Stoke/Nayland must win the match to lift the trophy afterwards. Having been battered by six wickets the last time these two teams met, Ryan admits his side are underdogs. “In saying that, we’ve played a lot of finals cricket over the past five or six years and the bulk of our side have been together for a long time. In terms of winning finals cricket we probably have an edge.”

Three medals for Chris

Chris took out the senior boys’ high jump on count back in Dunedin, clearing a height of 1.94m on his first attempt, before earning a silver medal in the triple jump with 13.83m and bronze in the long jump with 6.75m. The youngster says he was over the moon with his efforts, only expecting to medal in the high jump. “I was kind of hoping to medal in the triple but I don’t know how I got the medal in the long jump,” says Chris. His 6.75m came on the last of his six jumps, knocking another athlete out of medal contention.

Tapawera Area School’s medal tally from this year’s New Zealand Secondary School Athletics Championship was higher than all of the other Nelson schools put together, and it’s all thanks to their star jumper Chris Brake.

Sidecar duo shake off scare Phillip Rollo

Ben signed up to be a swinger for Mike De Gray at the beginning of the season. However, a broken shoulder has left Mike on the sidelines and Ben has been riding with Noel. Despite crashing twice in his debut season, Ben says “it’s one hell of a rush” and he tries not to listen to the concerns from his worried friends. “Yeah I tend not to think about that. I know that friends that think about how dangerous it is, they don’t like it.” The pairs focus will quickly turn to this weekend’s sidecar club championships. Having got up from the crash on Saturday to win the second race of the night, Noel and Ben will be confident they can emulate that performance. “It would be nice to take that one. The bike has the potential and everything to do it as we showed in the second race. It definitely has the speed.”

Ben Keys’ friends say he is crazy for signing up to be a sidecar swinger. Following Saturday night’s frightening crash, they’ll be quick to remind him again. The sidecar scare, which saw the Ben thrown off his bike and driver Noel Puklowski upside down underneath it, could have ended much worse for the two local men. Running through the moment, Ben says the bike in front of them spun out and they had nowhere to go. “We went sideways into him and just ended up rolling. We were quite bloody lucky there not to have any serious injuries. I woke up on Sunday with a few bruises but that was it,” he says. “The only thing I was worried about was if there were anymore bikes coming.”

WEDNESDAY 12 December 2012

Rider wins emotional Pike River Memorial Trophy Heath Botica won the Pike River Memorial Trophy after winning the Burt Munro Memorial Trophy last year.

The other events included circuit racing at Teretonga Park Raceway and a street race at Winton. Heath’s lack of horse power struggled in the circuit racing but he was able to finish in the top five in the street racing. Points from the Greymouth Motorcyle Street Race tallied up with overall points from the Burt Monro Challenge to decide the winner of the Pike River Memorial Trophy. Being a “West Coaster” originally, Heath says it was a special award to win. “I know quite a few of those guys that are still in that hole. It was emotional, very much.” The trophy will remain in Invercargill. Heath took two bikes down to Greymouth in the previous month, racing in 14 different events. He says he prefers to mix it up because it enables him to compete more than once. “I can get a lot of racing in during the day. You can’t do that anywhere else in the country. You can’t just go get five days of racing.”

Hope’s Heath Botica has won an emotionally charged Pike River Memorial Trophy, after finishing third and second in two races of the New Zealand Beach Racing Championship. Heath was third in the Burt Munro 50 mile and second in the beach race for motorbikes up to 500cc. The races were part of Invercargill’s Burt Monro Challenge which is now the biggest motorbike event in the country. There are six different events, including a long track race on the first day across a horse trotting track. Heath finished in the top five on his motocross bike before claiming the same position in the hill climb on his motard. But it was in the beach racing event was where Heath excelled, finding himself on the podium in two separate races. “The 50 mile is probably one of the most prestigious events for the whole week. It’s a pretty hard race. It takes over 50 minutes and it’s just two cones 800 yards apart.”

Revised Development Contributions Policy

Navigation Safety Bylaw: Temporary Reservation for swim races, Tata Beach, 5 or 6 January 2013

Tasman District Council’s reviewed Development Contributions Policy is now available for public consultation. The proposed reviewed Policy is to adopt a “once paid always paid” (OPAP) system which recognises any previous payment of a Development Contribution as being the full and final for that specific development contribution requirement. The Council has approved a Summary of Information and a Statement of Proposal for public consultation under section 83 of the Local Government Act 2002. Your views will help guide Council’s decision-making on whether to proceed with developing and adopting a policy. The proposal is contained in two documents:

Tasman District Council’s Harbourmaster has granted a temporary reservation of part of the waters that lie between Ngawhiti Island and Tata Beach for sea swim racing between 8.30 am and noon on either Saturday 5 or Sunday 6 January 2013. The effect of the temporary reservation will be to prevent other activities, including water skiing, from occurring within that area for the time specified. The water ski access lane will be closed for the duration of the event. A number of conditions have been imposed on the organisers of the event. These conditions may be viewed by emailing gbswimming@gmail.com, or calling Tasman District Council’s Harbourmaster on Ph. 03 543 8400.

Cardboard Boat Race, Tata Beach or Ligar Inlet, 13 or 27 January 2013

• A Summary of Information, which outlines the detail of the proposal, the reason for a proposal and the period for submissions. • A Statement of Proposal which provides detail on the proposal, options, financial and other considerations.

Tasman District Council’s Harbourmaster has granted a temporary reservation of the waters of the inner Ligar Bay inlet and an approximately 500m length of Tata Beach out to 200m from shore for the annual Tata Titanic Cardboard Boat Race between 9.00 am and 11.30 am on Sunday 13 or Sunday 27 January 2013. The effect of the temporary reservation will be to prevent all other water activities, including launching or retrieving vessels at the Tata Beach boat ramp or water skiing, from occurring within that area for the time specified. The water ski access lane will be closed for the duration of the event (unless the Ligar Bay inlet option is used). A number of conditions have been imposed on the organisers of the event. These conditions may be viewed by asking an Event official on site.
