Sevens to kick off festivities

The excitement of the Richmond Festival begins on Sunday September 25 with the Tasman Invitational Sevens Tournament. Up to 44 teams, totalling more than 600 players, are set to take the fields of Jubilee Park in Richmond, in an spectacular event that will lead up to the World Cup Pool C match between Italy and USA as well as Australia versus Russia. There will be three Open Men grades, an under-18 grade and even an under-13 grade allows local and international rugby players of all ages to showcase their skills in rugby’s fastest form of the game, 7’s. The tournament will run throughout Sunday in a fun, social and relaxed atmosphere building towards the tense and pulsating finals of each grade in the afternoon. Tournament organiser and former USA international Anthony Holder says the tournament was inspired two years ago to replicate the most popular form of the game in the United States as well as giving locals and international fans a first hand experience at getting on the field during the cup. International fans have shown their interest in the tournament but Anthony is hoping all the local rugby clubs will also take part. The end of the rugby is just the beginning of the night’s entertainment. At the conclusion of the rugby prize giving, a local live band will hit the stage playing music for all to enjoy. The band will entertain with a variety of music from Kiwi tunes to international hits that locals and international visitors to the region will recognise. Our Local brewery ‘Sprig and Fern’ Beer Tasting Tent and a ‘Kiwi Tucker’ (Food) tent will provide all party goers everything they need to see out the nights festivities. The night’s festivities will conclude around 9pm, but the party continues walking distance across the fields at the Waimea Old Boys Rugby Clubrooms thereafter. Throughout the day the tournament will be live across the airways with radio coverage from More FM. There will be children’s activities, bouncy castles and a range of Family attractions to entertain every visitor. It’s not too late to register, simply email Anthony at tasmansevens@gmail.com

Rugby’s biggest party coming to Richmond The Stars n Stripes Block Party is set to paint Richmond red, white and blue with a lunchtime main street parade, an afternoon of kid’s entertainment at the Richmond Mall and evening of street party festivities at Sundial Square on September 26. A block party is an American tradition, commonly organised by the residents of a community, usually limited to a city block, in which streets are closed off to vehicle traffic and participants eat, socialize, entertain, and enjoy. Richmond’s own block party begins with a colourful selection of local clubs, schools, community groups and special guests will be on show at midday to kick off the party, as all things American descend on Queen St, Richmond as the Main Street Parade sweeps through town. The parade will be lead by the Nelson City and Motueka District’s Brass Band, and is to feature colourful iconic American characters along with classic cars, army jeeps, and hot rod bikes. A road closure will be in effect on the necessary streets during the parade. Motorists are requested to adhere to the conditions of this road closure whereby ensuring an un-obstructed parade path is kept clear between 11.30am12.30pm. Croucher St Car Park will be closed from 11.30am – 11.30pm. The main street parade is a great example where we have more than 600 people confirmed to parade down Queen St. There’s a whole heap of other community groups as well confirmed to show their take on America. Following the parade, a series of short performances and exhibitions will take place at Sundial Square, with the Richmond Festival to be officially opened by visiting US Ambassador David Huebrer and the Mayor of Tasman Richard Kempthorne. The main street parade will run regardless of the weather, however in the unlikely event of extremely bad weather, the parade will follow a modified alternative route through the Richmond Mall. An afternoon, jam packed full of classic mall entertainment follows, competitions and exhibitions will take place after school at the Richmond Mall. Ten of Tasman’s finest young singers will compete in the American Idol:Richmond Mall Edition karaoke competition, vying on their quest to be crowned idol king or queen. The Great Mall of America Eating Competitions is set to bring entertainment value to the afternoon’s lineup. Hot dogs and fruit pies will be served up in copious quantities as Richmond searches for the greatest guts guzzler. How many American hot dogs can you munch in a minute? As the sun sets, an evening of dancing, fine foods and mingling will unfold with a quintessential kiwi picnic featuring the best of local fare. From 5pm to 10pm, the Block Party takes to life. Tasman’s finest authentic American themed food stall providers have teamed up with the best of classic kiwi cuisine stall holders and will be serving up a delightful assortment of spare ribs dripping in tangy BBQ sauce, woo-fire pizza’s, venison burgers, cinnamon spiced donuts, sticky candy floss plus much more. The Block Party is strictly no BYO. Quench that irresistible thirst with a selection of Richmond’s own Sprig n Fern beer, or enjoy a glass of premiere wine from the local Seifried’s range.

Scientists get grubby for comp Touching toilet seats is only allowed in the name of science. But as two Richmond School students will tell you the aftermath is even worse than the experiment. Amber Radcliffe, 10, and Georgia Charlett, 11, tested the amounts of bacteria and germs on door handles, rubbish bins and toilet seats, and it was quick to grow in the tested two weeks. The girls used cotton buds and wiped them on each of the three items, before wiping the germs on the agar glass and waiting

for two weeks. “We couldn’t think of anything to experiment on and then Georgia popped up and questioned ‘why don’t we do something with germs and bacteria in agar glasses?’ And I was like ‘what’s agar glasses?’ Then she showed them to me and I thought that would be very, very good.” The results weren’t immediate, but were noticeable after a week. The girls concluded that the rubbish bin contained the most germs and that they will be using soap more of-

The exhibits from all the finalists are available for public viewing during the week of September 19 in the Stoke Hall.

“I hate rugby, so I wouldn’t even know. I just flick on to other channels, there’s plenty of other things I could be watching.”

I think they’ve all been pretty mediocre so far. I mean that Argentina vs England game was so low scoring! All Blacks will win it though.

“Japan could be a surprise package. The size of them is incredible. I think the All Blacks will beat them, but they’ll need to lift up a gear.”

“Wales have impressed me. They nearly beat South Africa. The All Blacks won’t win, they never do.”

But David and a majority of Appleby and Redwood Valley residents think otherwise. “It’s quite a main highway, even though it’s now only a council road.

ver has struck Richmond. Diana Kohu says her husband and son Zion are the biggest fans in the family. “My husband is always taking kids to the games and he always hangs around with the kids for hours to get signatures.” The reaction has been fantastic, says Diana. “There’s the cutest little boy who bike rides along and stops and just looks at our

house for ages,” she says. “Usually when someone goes past they comment.” The only negative comments being a tongue-n-cheek call from some Wallaby fans. “They stood on the other side of the road yelling ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi’.” Zion, 14, has a firm idea on who will win the Rugby World Cup. “A.B’s!

NAILED IT: Nelson’s Apprentice of the Year Nick Skeggs outside a Signature Homes show home he helped build on route to scooping the Apprentice of the Year competition. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Top apprentice takes lead role Nick Skeggs has been named winner of the Upper South Island Registered Master Builders Carters 2011 Apprentice of the Year competition. Four years since leaving Nelson College to start a building apprenticeship, the 21 year-old Dusty Builders employee has worked on Signature show homes in Richmond and is now running the show as foreman on private home in Mapua worth a cool $1.4 million, something his boss Brett Dixon says pays credit to how much he has come along in the past few years. “I think the main thing with guys nowadays is the passion and he’s certainly got it,” says Brett. “He’s on a big job at the moment. How much he’s come in the last four years is huge. He’s pretty much running the whole thing.” Nick will now take on the rest of the regional winners nation-wide in the race for the coveted New

Zealand Registered Master Builders Carters 2011 Apprentice of the Year. His prize for winning the top of the south is $2000 to spend at Carters to increase his toolkit, a spot in Outward Bound valued at $3600, travel and accommodation costs to the national finas in Wellington with up to three guests, plus others various tools and of course a trophy. “It’s a good feeling, it’s pretty well recognized so it’s definitely a good thing,” says Nick. Brett says picking up apprentices is vital for the industry to continue. “It’s most important for the guys out there to pass their knowledge on and keep the industry afloat.” Nick picked up his award at a ceremony held at the Trafalgar Centre last week. Something Brett gave him extra credit for, having to do a speech. Advertorial

Hyundai Motor Company is the car manufacturer that has improved the most over the last decade, topping Auto Express magazine’s “10 years of Driver Power” survey. “No brand has taken such a massive leap over the past decade as Hyundai,” says Acting Editor for UK based Auto Express, Graham Hope. “Its range now is unrecognizable from 2002, and our readers regularly tell us that they are both pleased and proud to own a Hyundai, which is reflected in its meteoric rise up our Driver Power ratings.” From over 300,000 surveys received over the last 10 years of the annual Driver Power survey, Hyundai has gone from being one of the poorest performing manufacturers for customer satisfaction to one of the five best brands. It has also risen from 28th place in the best manufacturer chart in 2002 to fourth place in 2011. Hyundai New Zealand’s Chief Operating Officer, Tom Ruddenklau, says the result echoes what the company has been seeing in New Zealand in

terms of customer satisfaction. “Kiwis are proud to have a Hyundai in their driveway and happy to share their experiences,” he says. “We recently launched Hyundai Neighbourhood, an online community on our website, where people can evaluate vehicles and service before buying and talk first-hand to current owners. It’s a great forum to access honest reviews, get impartial advice and ask questions. ” The quality and reliability of the Hyundai product line up has attracted numerous awards both locally and internationally in recent years. The i30 is rated fourth in the Top 50 cars of the decade, and sent shockwaves through the industry when it was named the most satisfying car in Britain in the 2010 Driver Power survey. In New Zealand the i30 won the 2009 AA Supreme Winner award. Meanwhile the recently launched Elantra has been named AutoPacific’s Ideal Compact Vehicle, while the i45 is the 2011 International Car of the Year.

‘Take the bus,’ fans told ahead of Rugby World Cup Nelson City Council are urging rugby fans to take the bus and get to the game early ahead of Nelson’s three Rugby World Cup pool games. Nelson is hosting three Rugby World Cup games starting with the Italy versus Russia game on September 20. NCC Rugby World Cup 2011 communications advisor Angela Ricker says the city will not have the same transport issues that Auckland faced on the opening night, as Nelson is a lot smaller scale, and a traffic management plan has been put in place since the start of the year and signed off by Rugby World Cup 2011 New Zealand. “We have no concerns that it will be

a nightmare. We’ve managed matches of 10,000 at the park before and while this is 18,00 match, we think we’ve got ourselves in control,” she says. However Angela is strongly encouraging people to get to the game early to avoid a late rush and the public transport systems are the best ways to do that, she says. “Obviously the public transport is convenient, it’s easy, you get dropped off right outside. It’s cheap and it’s there for people.” Spectator parking will be available in Wakatu, Montgomery and Buxton Squares, at Neale Park (not available if we’ve had heavy rain) and at Akersten St. Grove St is the designated Taxi/Shuttle bus

drop off point. There are private vehicles drop off areas on Collingwood St north of Elliot St and on Halifax St outside the Library. A Park and Ride bus service will be operating between Richmond and Nelson, dropping spectators off in Millers Acre Car Park.

NEWS IN BRIEF • People living in Nelson and Tasman, and who are interested in healthy living, have a great opportunity to take part in a 30 day ‘Live Local’ challenge, says Sam Gentry of Desire Fitness. The 30 day challenge will kick off with a buy-local expo to be held at Desire Fitness Studio on Parkers Rd, Tahunanui, 10am to 2pm, September 18. “Buying local means fresher food, better quality and of course it supports the local economy and the environment. It’s a win-win for everyone,” says Sam, who believes that living well and keeping fit should be fun – not a fad. • Nelson MP Nick Smith last week welcomed the announcement of a Nelson Tasman Trades Academy involving a partnership between the Nelson-Marlborough Institute of Technology, Garin College, Motueka High School, Nelson College for Girls and Waimea College. “This is fantastic news for Nelson’s youth and the Nelson economy. The New Trades Academy will provide 110 places each year in tourism, primary industry, building and construction, hospitality, mechanical engineering, business administration and computing,” says Nick.

Mosaics to recognise youth work Eight mosaics have been erected on Cambridge St Park by Garin College and Saint Paul Vinnies to recognise youth volunteers. The initiative for creating these mosaics came from the Tasman District Council Pride of Place project addressing the issue of graffiti vandalism in the community.

The creating of these mosaics is one way that young people are getting youth art in to the community in a positive way. The Vinnies came up with the designs that show what youth volunteers contribute to the community as well as what they personally gain from volunteering.

High demand sees Dominos double A huge growth in demand has seen Dominos Richmond double its oven space, now able to produce 500 pizzas in one night. Store owner Chris Donnelly says the past five months have shown a noticeable increase for the first time since opening midway through 2008, and they have had to hire more staff as a result. On a Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dominos began to get so busy, one oven just couldn’t cope with the amount of orders, says Chris. “We opened in the middle of 2008, and it was in the third quarter of 2008 that the recession hit hard. Since then the store has never really lived up to expectations. But in the last five months we’ve noticed a considerable shift. We’ve had to hire more staff, which has been fantastic, and we’ve had to commission a second oven,” he says. Dominos Richmond also made its way in to the top 20 growing Dominos stores in Australasia, in terms of percentage. “It was just getting to the point where one oven just wasn’t enough. We can now do 130 slots and hour and there’s no way that we can order pizzas quicker than we can cook them now.” The oven will now be able to cook six pizzas within around seven minutes, where it could only previously cook three in that time. “We can now be having 450, 500 pizzas in one night. When you’ve got the one oven, it’s obviously only half of that. I’m sure the store will stay busy, but I’m not sure if we’ll have to worry about a third oven.”

Garin’s Peasants ready to rock New Zealand Phillip Rollo Garin College band the Peasants believe they can go one better and claim national glory at the Smokefreerockquest finals in Hamilton this Friday. The seven piece band, formerly the Peasants of Eden, have added three new members in 2011, and drummer Chris Phillips believes that “bigger sound” can help them on their way to beating last year’s second place finish. “It’s a lot bigger. It’s an alternative big band sort of sound and the songs are more mature musically,” says Chris. “That’s how I’d describe it.” The Peasants consists of lead vocalist Georgia Nott, Abbey and Chris Phillips, Chris, Joseph CorbanBanks, Rupert Wockner, Holly Tippler and Clark Hinton. Chris says having a year’s experience under their belt has aided the band, becoming more confident. But 2011 brings a new year and new bands to the stage, meaning they can’t rely soley on last year’s knowledge. “People do expect a bit of us, but in our minds it’s

a new competition, a new year, and we’re taking it on like that.” Hours of stressed rehersal and band practices will be left on the stage of the 6000seat Claudelands Arena. “We’re in it to win it. We’re going to go all out. Our songs are ready now, we just have to give it a good performance. The styles in the music finals are so different, it’s so ecletcic that it comes down to what the judges are looking for. Chris says they have been looking at the other finalist’s YouTube videos to check out what they’re up against. “Everyone looks pretty good, pretty decent.” Coming first place in New Zealand would mean “good times ahead,” says Chris, but the band would also reap the benefits of a recorded single at York St Studios, which would be released on the country’s radio stations, as well as on 1000 CD’s, and $10,000 to spend at the Rockshop. “It’d be an awesome kickstart in to what we want to do. That would set us up. We’d get new new instruments and it would put us in the right pathway to make a career out of music.”

New manager joins the club You could forgive Derrick Gould for not being able to remember everyone’s name on his first day of work. The new Greenacres Golf Club manager spent his first week getting to know all of the 500 members. The former banker was born in Durban, South Africa, and joins Greenacres following 12 years living in the Nelson region. Golf manager runs the rule over all the club’s financial matters and looks after the members and sponsors. “I’m just generally out there with the members and making sure everyone is happy,” says Derrick. There’s also the perk of playing a round of golf in his lunch hour, or once the work-day concludes. Derrick’s working life has consisted of banking in South Africa and New Zealand, as well as an unpaid position at the Napier Golf Club. But it was when he turned down a role with ANZ in Papua New Guinea that he found his way to Nelson with GETTING IN THE SWING OF IT: New Greenacres Golf the Credit Union.

Boat ride to take cyclists to and from Mapua Tasmans’ Great Taste Trail cycleway ferry named The Flat Bottom Fairy will celebrate its official opening on Sunday October 2. The ferry will be operating from 9.30am–5.30pm to take visitors and their bikes across the estuary for a gold coin donation – or free to those in full fairy costume. The official opening will be at 12 noon on the Mapua shore to bless the ferry and open this part of the trail. The Nelson Cycle Festival event coincides with the completion of the 6.8km cycle trail through Rabbit Island making the day the perfect opportunity for individuals and families to get their bikes out and take in the latest, and most unique, cycle trail trip in New Zealand. The new 12 meter ferry was dispatched into the water in classic Kiwi fashion last month 1, shunted by a Hilux with tyres roped to the bullbars and sliding on scaffolding planks with pipes for rollers by owner / builders John Ward and Paul Nankivell. They have been working on the barge since last December, and will use it to ferry cyclists from Rabbit Island across to Mapua, plus for “cruise and coffee” trips on the estuary and out into Tasman Bay in calm seas. The ferry is equipped with 15 bike racks and can take 50 passengers. Ma-

rine engineer John says he and housebuilder Paul, who both have their skipper’s licences, will “suck it and see” as far as how the vessel is used, but they plan channel crossings once every two and a half hours in busy and peak periods. It’s all go for Tasman’s link in the New Zealand Cycle Trail project with the trail name and brand being launched, new sections of trail being completed, a bridge over the Wairoa River under construction and the ferry between Mapua and Rabbit Island launched and test-run, ready for its first passengers. Tasman’s Great Taste Trail, the official name for what has been previously known as the ‘Tasman Loop’ is part of the New Zealand Cycle Trail project, which is being created to generate lasting economic, social and environmental benefits for New Zealand communities through a network of worldclass cycling experiences. The Trail, which is being built in stages through a partnership between Tasman District Council and the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust, will run from Nelson Airport in a loop around Tasman District passing through Mapua, Motueka, Riwaka. Ngatimoti, Tapawera, Kohatu, Belgrove, Wakefield, Brightwater and back to Richmond.

Italian student helped family ‘re-discover’ Nelson’s beauty

Business update Get a lush, healthy and beautiful lawn with scarification

If you are a lawn enthusiast then scarifying (de-thatching) your lawn should be given top priority in your spring lawn maintenance. Just what is lawn scarification and how will it improve my lawn condition? Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers manager, Mark Bloxham advises; ‘Lawn scarifiers use steel blades to cut out thatch and control weeds; hence it is also known as dethatching. In scarifying machines these blades rotate and penetrate the ground surface. Scarifying can also be performed by manually and vigorously raking, but it will not get the same results as using a machine, and can be a backbreaking task. Lawn thatch is removed more easily by this cutting action and the result is a firmer lawn that allows the passage of air, nutrients and water easily into it. By letting the scarifier blades cut into the soil, you will open the soil surface and make an ideal seedbed for introducing new grass seed to your lawn. The blades also ‘prune’ the grass plants because it cuts them downwards rather than cross cutting as in mowing. This pruning, just like

This Week

pruning a bush or plant causes extra shoots to grow thus thickening the turf. The ‘chopping’ action is also a good way of controlling some of the coarser or delicate weed grasses, broadleaf and creeping weeds and removes moss.’ Scarifying can be a harsh process and, initially will make your lawn look worse but, ultimately, can make it much, much better. So, please have faith! Spring and autumn are the best times to scarify your lawn. The perfect time for scarification is when the grass is growing strongly. Ideally, the soil should be moderately wet but with a touch-dry surface and the danger of late frosts should have passed. Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers sell scarifiers, but they acknowledge that with a rrp of $1295, this may be a costly outlay for a machine you will only use a few times a year. For that reason they have a scarifier available for hire at affordable rates, with options for half or full day hires. Call in to see the team, take advantage of their expert advice and get scarifying for a great looking lawn this summer.

It was only when the van Zoelen family showed their host daughter around Nelson that they realized the region’s true beauty. Marcella zan Zoelen hosted an international student through AFS and encourages others in Nelson to do the same, as it not only helps you learn about another culture but gives you a second chance to experience your own. Marcella first came around to the idea of hosting an international student when her daughter was keen on doing an exchange herself. Marcella says she was dragged along to an AFS meeting but came home knowing she wanted to host someone from overseas. “I thought ‘oh well, it might be a good idea to see how it all works’,” she says. Her daughter is now currently on an exchange in Argentina and Marcella has just Annelise van Zoelen,14, and Italian “sister” Caterina finished hosting her second international Secchi, 17, on the Abel Tasman national park. student, Caterina Secchi, 17, from Italy. Marcella says it’s a really neat experience final days in Nelson celebrating Italy’s arrival in for the family. “You get to know someone from Nelson. “It was really neat.

Greenacres Golf Club has given whitebaiters driving on the golf green their final warning and wants to put a stop to it before someone wrecks their land. Greenacres president Graham Sherlock says while they don’t mind people whitebaiting in the estuaries around the Best Island golf course if they walk down, there is strictly no cars or dogs allowed. Graham says each day there are four or five people down at the bottom of the green at a time with their cars parked up whitebaiting. “They just drive up all over the course, which is a problem, but they get a bit upset and they say ‘it’s a Queen’s chain, we’re allowed to be here.’ But our boundary is on the other side of the river, it’s just been eroded over the years,” says Graham. “There’s no rights to public access on the course.” Graham had blocked the road with a fallen tree earlier in the month, but cars were still driving on to the green to get to the river for fishing.

Greenacres Golf Club president Graham Sherlock is fed up with whitebaiters driving on the green.

Just a thought... After winter, spring inevitably comes around. It brings with it hope and new life – new beginnings. Spring’s great eh! It’s not always spring though. Life contains a lot of uncertainty doesn’t it? Random stuff happens. Job loss, relationship breakdown, sickness or trouble all knock our confidence and leave us wondering what life is about. My family live in Christchurch – they are fine. But some have been significantly impacted by the earthquakes. Coping with the constant stress of potential aftershocks is not easy for anyone. On top of that our family has recently experienced the death of both my parents. It would be fair to say that at times it has all felt a bit much. So where is God in the midst

Ducati club set to roar

NEW CLUB: Neil Baker and Nick Marer with their Ducati motorbikes. Photo: Andrew Board.

Say “think Italy” to anyone in Nelson at the moment and you will probably get the reply “rugby”. But outside of ball sports and fashion, Italy is also known for its beautiful cars and bikes. And the local Ducati club, which was only formed this year, can’t wait to show them off at the Italian Festival this weekend. The club has about 30 members and is still growing says its president Nick Marer. “We are getting more and more people involved and it’s great. They are a great bike to ride and they look cool too.” The club is hoping members and other Ducati bike owners will come along to the Italian festival to display their bikes. “Anyone who has a bike and wants to be involved is welcome,” says Nick. For more information call Nick on 027 448 0465.

Open 7 days For breakfast, lunch & dinner

The Rugby World Cup is here, and now Tasman’s biggest party to celebrate is only days away. Richmond is to host three-days of cultural diversity, entertainment and celebrations as the Richmond Festival welcomes the USA national rugby team, as well as rugby fans from far and wide. This is part of the nationwide real New Zealand Festival, coinciding with Rugby World Cup 2011. United States was chosen by Richmond Festival organisers as they seeked out to adopt ‘a second team.’ Former Waimea Old Boys center Junior Sifa has been selected in the USA squad for the World Cup with the team scheduled to play Italy on September 27 at Trafalgar Park.

says backing USA will add some “friendly inter-city rivalry” to the big game at Trafalgar Park and hopes the Tasman residents will be wearing red, white and blue come the 27th. “We obviously all support the All Blacks but there’s 19 other teams here in the country and we want them to feel at home, so this is out way of doing it.” A block party, tailgate party and a Tasman Rugby Sevens competition will headline the Richmond Festival which is brought to you by Richmond Unlimited, Nelson A&P association and the Tasman District Council. “These are some quite prominent American cultures that we wanted to bring to the region. They’re all iconic and really colourful.”

This Week LICENCE TO SKILL: Driving tutor Kevin Bannan has been teaching locals to drive for the past 20 years. Each week two photos from the museum’s “glass plate” collection will run in the Waimea Weekly with the goal of exposing the photographs to more people. Right: Miss Glover, Nelson Provincial Museum, Davis and Nairn Collection: 6401 Below: College Tournament 1932, Nelson Provincial Museum, F N Jones Collection: 311682 Do you recognise the people, the setting or an object? Email history@museumnp.org.nz with details.

The driving force behind local drivers If you have your drivers licence, there’s a likely chance that it was thanks to Kevin Bannan. The driving instructor has been in the business for more than 20 years, ending up on the top of traffic islands, round a-bouts and his foot planted firmly on his dual control brake. While he may have had is fair share of bumpy rides, it’s all worth it, says Kevin, who is enjoys the satisfaction of watching learner drivers turn in to experienced and safe drivers. “It’s very rewarding. Getting your drivers licence can change your life,” he says. “Everyone’s got to do

it when they feel they’re ready. A lot of young people are keen to do it and it certainly makes life a lot easier if you can drive.” The drivers licence test is changing in February next year from 15 minutes to 45 minutes, covering more ground and situations, something Kevin says should have happened a long time ago. Kevin says 15 hours of driving is the usual time it takes to get a novice driver up to the stage where he, or she, can drive, but the new test will reflect 120 hours of driving.

is set to unlock the secrets of children’s brain development at a free community presentation in Hope. “We will be covering the critical periods for learning skills and how good and bad experiences can affect the developing brain,” says Porse Nelson

spokesperson Michelle Collier. Parents, prospective parents and caregivers can register their interest for the seminar at Hope Community Church by calling the Porse Nelson team on 0800 023 456 or 545 9228.

On the write track Senior students at Ranzau School have been giving their junior peers a helping hand when it comes to writing. Senior students were paired up with a junior buddy last month and took the reigns of teaching and mentoring, something they were not familiar with. Acting principal Dave Sampson says the school’s focus for 2011 has been on writing so it was a natural progression for the older students to help out. And the results were “fantastic,” he says. “We will definitely be doing this again next year.”

Tapawera Area School’s school production went off with colour, dance, drama and lots of enthusiasm from the students. The students performed two different productions, one for the junior and one for the senior students. The productions were about the days of the Gold Rush, and covers the story of the gold diggers, townspeople and cattle rustlers who live in Gold Rush town. The mayor wants to sell the town to some business people from the city called The consortium, who want to turn the town into a tourist town resort. Deputy drincipal Tanya Newble says that musical productions are “a fabuSHOW TIME: Raymond Griffith, 14, takes part in the Tapawera Area School lous experience for all the students. production Gold Rush.

Whether you have already bought or plan to build on rural land then you will more than likely need an on-site domestic wastewater system to treat household waste. The same goes if you own a rural property with an existing on-site wastewater system and plan to make alterations increasing the number of bedrooms you have, or if you own rural land and want to subdivide. In all the above cases you will be required to engage a Council accredited wastewater engineer to design your new wastewater system, confirm your existing system is satisfactory or confirm the land can be subdivided with regard to wastewater. All these will require some kind of Council wastewater resource or building consent before it can be approved. Mark Rounce of Rounce Project Solutions is a TDC Accredited Site and Soil Evaluator and Wastewater Designer and can advise you on what is best for all these situations. Well versed with TDC rules and regulations regarding wastewater, Mark will visit your property; discuss options and match your requirements, budget and site to a wastewater system that best suits. He will prepare a design report, plan and assist with the paperwork to gain TDC resource and/ or building consent approval and supervise the installation, construction and commissioning of the new system to achieve a code of compliance certificate.

Baby Space Celebrates Great ERO Result Just in time for their third birthday, Lynda Richards, owner of BabySpace, and her team have welcomed ERO, the government department that evaluates and reports on the education and care of students in schools and early childhood services. The report the centre received as a result of this visit is one that positively reflects the team’s ongoing commitment to providing high quality care and education for children aged six months to three years. All ERO reviews focus on the quality of education being offered, which takes into account the programme provided for the children, the learning environment and the interactions between the children and the adults. Lynda and her team are justifiably proud that ERO found the BabySpace approach to quality consistent across all these areas. After spending time with the teachers, children and parents at BabySpace the ERO officers described an environment in which children and their families enjoy the expertise and support of experienced and collaborative teachers. In a sector where quality is linked with teacher

turnover it is important that the core BabySpace team is an incredibly stable one, with no major changes in staffing since the centre opened. ERO noted that this is apparent especially in the well-established and effective teaching team approach.

ERO also recognised that a nurturing philosophy and strong relationships between parents and teachers are characteristic of the centre, which ensures a warm, welcoming family atmosphere. The team’s primary caregiving approach, where each child is allocated a specific teacher who is consistently available to them, makes it possible for staff to develop a deep understanding of each family’s aspirations and then maintain a commitment to ensuring information flows easily between home and centre. The physical environment reflects the team’s emphasis on the learning needs of the children. It features

attractive, well resourced indoor and outdoor areas with a variety of equipment that is challenging and invites exploration. These areas are set up to respond to the particular interests of the children and are well supervised. The result of this careful planning, ERO found, is that all the children move around the centre confidently, choosing activities freely and at their own pace. A complete copy of ERO’s findings will soon be available at: www.ero.govt. nz For more information about choosing BabySpace for your child please go to: www. babyspacenelson. co.nz

Getting from Nelson to the Abel Tasman National Park just got a whole lot easier thanks to the recommencing of Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle’s ferry service this Thursday, September 15. Last year Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle started a direct boat service from Nelson City to the Abel Tasman National Park, via Kaiteriteri. Whilst the service has been tried before, Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle was the first to custom build a boat to do the trip. The Abel Tasman Crusader is the largest boat operating in the Abel Tasman National Park and the ride and comfort make the crossing from Nelson City a dream. The service allows visitors to the region a faster way to get to the spectacular beauty of Kaiteriteri beach and the Abel Tasman

Once again the departure from Nelson will be at 8.00am and there is a complimentary pickup and drop off from the accommodation houses in Nelson and Tahunanui. The journey takes just 50 minutes and is quicker than self drive or commercial transport. On the trip the views of both the western ranges and Nelson City is breathtaking. “One thing that we really noticed last year was the number of people that would bring their bikes across in the morning and go to the Kaiteriteri mountain bike park”, says Greg Knapp, co owner and skipper. “They would spend the day there and then either return with us or bike back to Nelson. This sort of thing really opens up the region to cycle tourism, especially with the new national cycleway happening”. “The service is so versatile with a number of Motueka residents heading to Nelson for the night and returning the next morning” said Greg. “It opens up the whole Nelson Tasman region. Tasman people can head to Nelson for the movies, dinner or a special occasions and stay over, returning with us in the morning”. Even with the uncertain economic times, Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle has been buoyed by the feedback and is committed to the service.

Lowe running off to Malta

Sports In BrIef FOOTBALL: Richmond Athletic’s Sam Mason-Smith is currently in Christchurch vying for a spot in the Canterbury United ASB Premiership team while Garin College’s Erik Panzer spent the weekend trialing for the side’s youth team. BOXING: Gage Brown has been knocked out of the Youth Commonwealth Games in the Isle of Man, going down in his opening bout. The 17 year-old was beaten by Northern Ireland champion Enna Kennedy in the 60kg division. Two eight counts in the one round caused the bout to be stopped in favour of the Irishman. HOCKEY: The Federal Women’s team are Nelson first division champions after seeing off Blenhiem’s Arotea Kiwi 4-1 in the women’s final at Saxton Turf on the weekend. Melanie Allen, Ella Orr, Gabrielle McCullough and Hannah Climo contributed for the side’s four goals.

Phillip Rollo After running away with both the North Island and New Zealand cross country championship titles, Mike Lowe will now be running his way to Malta in 2012. The Nelson College runner has been selected for the ISF World Secondary School Cross Country Championship in Malta in March, along with Nelson College for Girls student Phillipa Dalley. The 15 year-old credits his quick rise to success to coach Greg Lautenslager. “That’s definitely the main thing,” says Mike. “Every year I’ve progressively gotten better and better and this year I’ve finally managed to get a national medal on the track, and this cross country season I’ve been at the top of my age group and running the best I have.” Mike admits he didn’t even know

where Malta was, but will have to get more accustomed to the country off the coast of Italy come March. His selection came the week prior to winning the M16 cross country championship in Christchurch. So at the time it was a bit of a surprise, but looking back it was a masterstroke from the New Zealand selectors. But before Mike heads to Europe he is targeting more success, this time in the coming New Zealand track season. He is looking to break his personal best in the 3000m down to 8 minutes 45 seconds, and has his sights set on the 3000m/1500m double at the national secondary school championship in December, before taking on the world. “It will be interesting to see how I place myself against the world. It will obviously be a good experience to compete against the best people my age in the world and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Nine man Wakefield book semi final spot

Wakefield first XI have reached the semi finals of the Gould & Tout Trophy after defeating Richmond Athletic reserves 1-0 with just ninemen on Saturday. Captain Ian Radcliffe opened the scoring early in the first half, putting the ball past Richmond Athletic first division regular Daniel Cooper. Richmond winger Dion Keetley had chances to equalise for the home side, but couldn’t find the target. Ian says the side showed guts to hang on despite losing two players to red cards. “We were delighted to win especially against such a strong Richmond side. Wakefield played with heart and passion and that’s

what saw us through. It was a very tough encounter with some fantastic football being played by both sides, we are looking forward to an equally tough semi final.” A combined team effort saw Wakefield through, and Ian struggled to pick out a single player who performed better than others. “This was a very good overall team performance, however, Bryce Taylor ran tirlessly upfront and caused the Richmond defence no end of problems.” Wakefield will take on Nelson Pine Industries Men’s Second Division winners Nelson Suburbs 2nd XI in the semi final this Saturday.

Public Notice of Right to Demand a Poll on Electoral System

Closure of Roads to Ordinary Vehicular Traffic – Sunday Creek Road

On 11 August 2011, the Tasman District Council decided to retain the First past the Post (FPP) electoral system for the 2013 and 2016 local government triennial elections. This is the system that the Council has used in past elections for Council and community boards. Notice is given under section 28 (1) of the Local Electoral Act 2001, that electors of the Tasman District Council have the right to demand a poll on the electoral system to be used at the next two triennial general elections (2013 and 2016) of the Tasman District Council. The choice is between the First Past the Post (FPP) and the Single Transferable Vote (STV) electoral systems. Unless a poll determines otherwise, the FPP electoral system will continue to be used for the Tasman District Council. A valid demand for a poll must be: • made in writing; • signed by at least 5 percent of eligible electors of the Tasman District Council. This will require 1,690 elector signatures; • delivered to the office of the Tasman District Council, 189 Queen Street, Richmond, 7020 by Tuesday 28 February 2012. Every elector who signs a demand must also set out in it his or her full name and the address for which he or she is qualified as an elector of the Tasman District Council. For further information, please phone Lloyd Kennedy, Electoral Officer Ph. 03 543 8434.

Notice is hereby given that Sunday Creek Road (between Dovedale Road and the Motueka Valley Highway) will be closed to ordinary vehicular traffic for the month of September 2011 to enable Nelson Forests to carry out forest harvesting operations.

Fly in and celebrate at the US tailgate party There’s only one way to spend your pre-game before the Eagles take on the Azzuri at Trafalgar Park on September 27 - and that’s at the All Star Tailgate Party. The final day of the festival gears up towards the much anticipated Pool C match, as Richmond Showground’s host a traditional American Tailgate Party. ‘Park up and Party’ with an afternoon and early evening full of pre match activities, including classic kiwi games immersed with American tailgate traditions. Live music, performances and an opportunity to sample the excellent regional cuisine, beverages and hospitality are included in the festival finale.

Quench that thirst with a selection of Richmond’s own Sprig n Fern beer, or enjoy a glass of premiere wine from the local Seifried’s range. Richmond Festival organiser Paul McConachie says the tailgate parties are an integral part of USA’s sporting culture with thousands flocking to car parks before American football games for a barbecue, even if they don’t have tickets to the game itself. “As we’ve sort of found out it’s quite an intriguing culture and celebrations to get behind,” says Paul. “Whether it’s MTV a culture or Hollywood movie, America has played a huge role in my upbringing for sure and a lot of other people’s. I think this is our chance to get together and show what affect this has had on us.” With a series of promotional ‘mini tailgate’ parties being held around the region in the past weeks, Paul says the response has been fantastic, and by those results alone is ex25 - 26 - 27 SEPTEMBER 2011 pecting a huge day come September 27. Please note, this is a licensed event. No BYO alcohol will be permitted. “Keep it clean Richmond.” For the cheapest and easiest ride to the game, match goers are encouraged to take the Park n Ride service which will be Richmond Park Showgrounds - Lower Queen St - Richmond operating out of the venue. Park up at the Sprig & Fern has come on show grounds board as a sponsor of the and jump Richmond festival. aboard a USA American themed team bus for a uniquely styled service to the big game and back. FOOD STALLS Catching the Bus is the best option for getting to the game as car parking will be very limited in the city. Park n Ride bus tickets can be purchased from the Richmond Mall Information Kiosk and also at the event - if still available - for $4 each way and $8 return. The bus will depart from Richmond at 5:20pm and 6:20pm for a 5:50pm and 6:50pm arrival at the i-site, in time for a 7:30pm kick off. If you are planning on catching the bus then it is encouraged to purchase tickets from the Richmond Mall as soon as possible. “The bus service will be the easiest way for American fans to get to and from the game. Town is expected to be very busy on game-day and finding a car park may prove difficult.” Men’s Shed Waimea Inc will be volunteering in the car parking duties at the event which is brought to you by Nelson A&P and other community groups which have gotten in beReturn transport: Showgrounds - Trafalgar Park hind the event.
