Richmond gets new sergeants Simon Bloomberg Engaging with the community won’t be a problem for Richmond’s two new-old sergeants Craig Barker and Greg Beer who transferred from Nelson this week as part of a “realignment” of police staff across the Tasman district. The staffing changes follow a review by Nelson Bays Area police that identified a need to increase their engagement with growing communities like Richmond. Last month, senior sergeant Blair Hall moved to the Richmond station and this week he was joined by public safety sergeants Craig and Greg. Although Craig and Greg have been based in Nelson, they are both Richmond residents who already know the town inside out. And that, says Greg, will be a big advantage as they focus on increasing police engagement with the community and taking ownership of their beat. “I live here and I’ve got two kids who go to school here, so I have a vested interest in Richmond,” Greg says. “When you live in a place you get to know what’s happening and it’s all those small things that help us do a better job.” Craig, who was based at the Richmond station before being transferred into Nelson just over four years ago, says coming back to the town is “a positive step” for Richmond. He says the decision to increase police numbers in Richmond is recognition that it is growing rapidly and

Simon Bloomberg Wakefield mountainbiking legend Kelly McGarry may be gone but a group of his mates are making sure he will not be forgotten by building a new bike park where a young ‘Mc-
Gazza’ learned to fly. Kelly grew up in Wakefield and later attended Waimea College before making a name for himself on the free-riding scene, famously back flipping 22m over a ravine in a Red Bull Rampage competition.
Sadly, Kelly’s life was cut short last year when he suffered a cardiac arrest while riding in Queenstown, aged 33, but now his mates are building a bike park as a tribute to their friend. On Saturday, the volunteers started construction of the
3000 square metre bike park which will be named McGazzaland in honour of Kelly who was affectionately known as McGazza. It is also being constructed behind

“My wife was frightened a fair bit because it was long and strong, but we were safe in bed and we really felt for the people down there.”
“I’m a South Island manager so I needed to check on staff and stores. I used to drive to Nelson but now I don’t, and I miss going to Kaikoura as I used to drive there regularly.”
“I haven’t really been affected at all apart from feeling sorry for the people who still felt like it was shaking even after getting to their motel in Nelson.”
“I don’t get to visit friends in Kaikoura as often, although now we sometimes fly and meet up in Blenheim or Christchurch.”

Two new sergeants for Richmond
Work starts on McGazzaland FROM PAGE 1
FROM PAGE 1 needs its own dedicated police staff based in the town. Blair says Craig and Greg will be overseeing the 10 emergency response staff already based in Richmond. They join sergeant Kyle Bruning’s prevention team of two school community officers and two prevention community officers at Richmond. Blair is confident a bigger and more visible police presence in Richmond will help reduce an already low crime rate. However, he says the community also has a role to play and he is encouraging people to contact police immediately if they see anything suspicious. “We had an example last Friday when a Richmond businessowner saw two people acting suspiciously and got a good description of them and contacted us. They weren’t doing anything wrong but

We won’t be able to respond immediately everytime because we might have something bigger going on, but we can’t respond if we don’t know about it.”
Blair is also optimistic that the new staffing changes will mean the Richmond station’s doors remains open for longer. The station had been intermittently closed over the last year because new safety regulations require a constabulary staff member to be present when the front counter is open to the public.
Wakefield Domain in the same area where Kelly used to make his own jumps and learn new tricks as a young rider. “We all knew him,” one of the volunteers, Matt Goodall, says, “I was his neighbour for a long time so it’s pretty cool that we are creating a tribute to Kelly.” Project coordinator Dan Shallcrass says they started work on stage one of the McGazzaland, which will feature a dirt jumps track. Dan says the jumps track will be made of Moutere clay which is being trucked in next week – stage two will be an asphalt pump track. Dan says the dirt jumps track is expected to be completed next month and will be suitable for everyone “from entry level to pro-riders”. It will fea-
ture four different tracks with jumps made from wooden ramps and dirt landings for the pro-riders. The McGazzaland project has been well-supported by the district’s businesses with Greg Winn Contracting, Richmond Hire and Leitch Contracting providing equipment and machinery, and Wakefield Quarry supplying providing materials. It has also been pledged $10,000 from the Kelly McGarry Foundation and $3100 from Nelson Bike Fest - the project is estimated to cost between $100,000 and $200,000. Dan says they are running a McGazzaland fund-raising evening with live music from Boogie Train at the Wakefield Village Hall on December 2. Tickets cost $40 and can be purchased at Wakefield Four Square, Village Cycles and Nelson Motorcycle Centre.

Potential buyers were flying through the door for the first open day of the Mitre 10 MEGA Helicopter House Build on Saturday. The Mitre 10 MEGA carpark site has seen up to 20 tradies onsite volunteering at one time, an endless supply of materials, a lot of late nights and a healthy dose of house building stress. But, after just six and a half weeks, it is done. The team at Mitre 10 MEGA and New Zealand Certified Builders have built a beautiful, top spec, three bedroom home to be auctioned off to raise funds for the Nelson Marlborough
Rescue Helicopter Endowment Trust. “It’s done, we did it,” says Mitre 10 MEGA project manager Murray Leaning. “I can’t believe it, seven weeks ago we had paint marks on the ground and nothing else, but now look at it, it looks amazing.” However, Murray says finishing the build is a bittersweet experience. “We’ve poured our heart and souls into this house, the whole lot of us, and it’s going to be really sad to see it go.” The 149m2 open plan home features three bedrooms, one bathroom, two toilets, an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, study, living room, kitchen, and a separate laundry. The house can be bought as

Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust general manager Paula Muddle says she is absolutely amazed by the number of keen buyers and supporters who came to the open home. “The first person who came in was a potential buyer, he just came on in and said, ‘yeah, I’d heard about it and I’ve got a potential section in town’, and I was going ‘where have you come from?’ And we’ve had a constant stream of people who are genuinely interested in buying the house, it’s great.” Open days will be held each weekend until the house is sold at a live onsite auction on December 9, at 12pm.

Inset: Sharon McDonald at the start of the Nelson Half Marathon last week. She would collapse with a heart attack just a few minutes later. Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport.
Half marathon a heart stopper Andrew Board Craig Vercoe expected to get his heart pumping during the Nelson Half Marathon last week – he didn’t expect to get someone else’s pumping before it. Craig was on his way to register for the half marathon at Saxton Field last Sunday when he saw one of the entrants in the walkers race, which started earlier, had collapsed. He rushed over and got to local woman Sharon McDonald at the same time as a St John medic. Sharon had had a heart attack, so Craig started to perform CPR while the medic went to fetch a nearby defibrillator. After six minutes of CPR and at least two shocks of the defibrilla-
tor, Sharon’s pulse finally returned just as an ambulance arrived. Sharon was loaded into the ambulance and Craig was left standing there shocked, then his wife asked him if he still wanted to compete. “Well, it’s what we came for,” he told her. Craig raced to the start line with just minutes to spare before taking off and completing the race. He says it was a very good decision. “It just gave me a chance to take my mind of it and focus on something else. I was really shaken up. As much as the training [for CPR] tries to teach you what it will be like, it’s totally different.” For Sharon, the last thing she remembers that day was driving to the half marathon and feeling
“really excited”. “I’ve been a member of Athletics Nelson for years but hadn’t done a big race for a few years because I was looking after my husband. I did a few 5km walks leading up to it and felt great. My times were getting better so I was looking forward to the challenge.” It was only a few hundred metres into the race when she collapsed. She’s been told since that while being flown to Wellington Hospital she had two more heart attacks and woke up to see her Melbourne-based son at her bedside. “I thought it was a dream because my stepson was there, too.” When she did come around she was told what had happened and that a man had saved her life. “I have to meet this man,” she
told her son. Late last week, Sharon, who lost her husband to a heart attack in February, was transferred to Nelson Hospital where she spent another few days recovering. Her son had been in touch with Craig earlier in the week to thank him and update him on his mother’s condition. “I went in to meet Sharon on Saturday at hospital and it was really weird,” says Craig. “I had never seen her before in my life so the only image I had of her was unconscious and being loaded into an ambulance. To see her awake and talking was strange.” Sharon says she felt an instant connection with Craig. “It is very spiritual and I feel like we have this connection.”
Craig says the big lesson he got from the experience is how important doing a first aid course is. “One thing I’m quite proud of myself for is that I didn’t hesitate, I just got right in there. If I hadn’t done the first aid and just stood there unsure of what to do, I would have really hated myself. “You never know when you’re going to come across something like this, it could be one of your family members. I think a first aid course is a social responsibility and courses should be free.” On that point, Sharon couldn’t agree more. She says she will be forever grateful to Craig. “I just can’t thank him enough.” She also wanted to thank her fellow parishioners at Annesbrook Church for praying for her.

Council chief executive officer Lindsay McKenzie has tendered his resignation, giving six months’ notice to find his replacement. First appointed May 2012, his tentative departure date is May 2018, although the exact timing will be determined by the availability of his successor. While the 2018 – 2028 Long Term Plan will not be signed off by his expected departure date, it is anticipated that the consultation period would have closed, which is similar timing to when he first arrived.

Mapua boat ramp decision
Council staff have recommended declining a proposal from the Mapua Boat Club to build a boat ramp at the Waterfront Park as part of the new wharf/waterfront layout. Redevelopment of the wharf area has led to restricted access to the existing boat ramp, however the report states that the Club’s preferred option to develop a boat ramp in Waterfront Park has become a contentious issue within the community with mixed support and that it has the potential to impact on the high-pressure wastewater pumping main, and create health and safety, parking and traffic issues. Council is instead recommending that Grossi Point boat ramp be used for smaller vessels and that facilities at Motueka and Rough Island be utilised.

The race was on between Richmond siblings Saskia and Marcus Bray to see who caught a fish first at the Waimea River Park Educational Fishery ponds at Appleby on Sunday. The Sports Fishing for Youth Charitable Trust stock and open up the ponds each year to teach eager young anglers, and Saskia and her younger brother Marcus refused to leave without a trout. With their mum timing them, the two cast their lines and snuck glimpses at each other’s rods as the minutes ticked by. Although the ponds had already been open for a few hours and the rainbow and brown trout were starting to become wary, Saskia and Marcus persevered. And with a lot of determination, and a bit of help from the Fishing for Youth guides, Saskia landed the first fish. “I was racing Marcus to see
who could get a fish first and I managed to beat him,” she says with a smile. “It’s big, I’ve never seen one this big before and it was pretty hard work trying to reel him in, he kept running away.” Weighing in at 1.3kg, Saskia’s brown trout was one of the biggest of the day and, not long after her, Marcus followed suit and landed a rainbow trout. Saskia and Marcus’ mum, Tania Bray, has brought them down for the past three years and thinks it’s a wonderful event. “I don’t have the skills or equipment so it’s brilliant being able to bring them down and give them the chance to be taught, its a really amazing opportunity and they always have a lot of fun.” Sports Fishing for Youth Charitable Trust chairman, Ian Kearney, says teaching children how to fish and seeing that excitement is the best part of the day.
“It’s really great to see, we have so many kids come to us who have always wanted to go fishing but their parents didn’t know how or didn’t have any gear, and now the parents still don’t know what to do but the kids have caught some fish and we’ve got more gear than most of the sports shops.” Ian says it was pretty hard fishing but most of the kids caught a trout. Equipment and tuition were provided for about 60 five to sixteen-year-olds and with close to 250 brown and rainbow trout in the ponds, and more to come, the trust will be holding five more guided events. Following the events, the ponds will be opened up to families with junior and child fishing licences. To book your child in for one of the upcoming Fishing for Youth events, go to nelsonmarlborough@fishandgame. org.nz or call 544 6382.

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz Richmond School’s Year 5 and 6 pupils are helping to promote the Nelson-Tasman region by creating a model of one of the region’s most iconic landmarks for a display at a trade stall at the Canterbury A and P Show. A group of businesses are heading to the Christchurch this week show to promote their tourism ventures, food and products at the show which runs from Wednesday to Friday. And one of the centrepieces of Nelson on Show’s stall will be a large papier-mache model of Split Apple Rock, made by Richmond School. Deputy principal Ryan Higgins says one of the school parents involved in Nelson on Show saw the papier-mache models of Nemo the fish the pupils had made and asked if they could make a model of Split Apple Rock. “We got hold of some polystyrene for the framework and some images of Split Apple Rock and the kids did the rest,” Ryan says. (Parent) Kirstie Mirfin helped them put the finishing touches to the paint job and now it’s ready to go.” Although pupil Ashlee Reddecliffe has never seen the real Split Apple Rock, she reckons the class and Kirstie have nailed it. “It looks just like the one in the photos although I was thinking, why is Kirstie painting green on it and then I realised it was the algae. It was so much fun making it.” One of the business owners involved in Nelson on Show, Maida Moreton, says the model will be placed on a blue tarpaulin which represents the sea with a sandy beach, small toy kayaks and native bush. “It looks absolutely amazing,” Maida says. “It will be the centrepiece of our displays.” Nelson on Show will feature trade displays from Trail Journeys, O2B Healthy, Tasman Sea Shuttle, Dove River Peonies, Skydive Able Tasman, Nelson Regional Development Agency and the Nelson Motel Association.

Kaikoura earthquake – one year on Judene Edgar Reporter
judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Two minutes after midnight, Monday, November 14, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the small township of Kaikoura, resulting in two deaths, and changing the face and life of many South Island townships. While there was only minor damage in the Nelson-Tasman region, the biggest impact has been the closure of State Highway 1 and the railway between Christchurch and Picton. The ‘alternative route’ was quickly established, diverting traffic through St Arnaud and Murchison. Fulton Hogan project manager Gavin Stobie says that the increase in traffic has been phenomenal with St Arnaud going from about 40 to 50 trucks a day to up to 700. “We used to have six guys based out of Murchison and then all of a sudden all hell broke loose, and now we have up to 200 staff to feed and accommodate,” says Gavin. “Workers descended upon their towns and initially we were unsure about how the workers would come together with the community.” But Murchison contractor Brent (Hammer) Wilson says that while it’s taken a bit of an adjustment, “you quickly learn to accommodate the

den Hotel, says that with tourism you know when the peaks are and plan accordingly, but “when it first happened the impact was huge, we ran out of everything, but very quickly we got on with the routine”. Leigh says that another key benefit is the monthly community dinners, that have provided much-needed fund-raising for local clubs, schools and facilities. Each month groups get the opportunity to cater a dinner for all Fulton Hogan staff and contractors. Nicky Bavin from Rural Wom-
Lee Morgan set up a mobile bakery trailer, Tutaki Bakery, to feed hungry locals and visitors.

While it’s hard to say how long until things return to “normal”, both Leigh and Nicky think that things will never quite be
the same, but that that’s okay too. “I don’t think it will ever be as quiet as it used to be because it’s exposed the area to people who would not have normally come here, so I think tourism will really increase,” says Nicky. “We also need to acknowledge our ambulance and fire brigade because they’re all volunteers and they’re doing such a fantastic job, especially being volunteers. “What they are coping with at the moment is massive,” says Leigh.

“Sheep-eating plant” blooms for the first time Judene Edgar The “sheep-eating plant”, known formally as puya chilensis, has been growing in a small rockery in Fiona Barlow’s garden for nearly 10 years but, without explanation, it has bloomed for the first time. When Ace of Spades nursery on Haycock Rd, Hope, was closing down, Fiona’s son thought he’d buy his parents a plant. He brought home what he believed to be a dragon plant, and for the past 10 years Fiona has had no reason to believe otherwise, until about four weeks ago. A spike, which is nearly three metres tall, grew out of the centre of the plant with neon bright, greenyyellow flowers. So Fiona referred to her trusty encyclopedia of plants and flowers. “It clearly wasn’t a dragon plant, and then I saw the picture of the puya chilensis, but it didn’t really have any description, so I went online and found out about it,” says Fiona. “I was so surprised to read that it’s a sheep-eating plant.” The macabre plant, native to the Chilean desert, lures sheep to their deaths and then feasts on the remains. While the plant doesn’t actually eat the sheep as its name suggests, it got its nickname because its sharp spikes trap sheep, birds and other small mammals, that eventually die and decay. The decaying animal flesh fertilises the soil around the plant, providing much-needed nutrients for the roots, and the scent of the decomposition attracts other animals and birds, adding to the feast. “The plant is essentially protecting itself,” says Fiona.
Fiona says that it will be interesting to see what happens next with the plant. While she isn’t too concerned about its sheep-eating reputation she isn’t taking any risks, with her new-born lambs safely behind a gate and away from the plant.

Siblings Reageon and Connor King were among the thousands who poured through the Richmond Showground gates for the Nelson Truck Show on Saturday. Alongside the usual food and family activities, the fifth annual Stoke School fund-raiser featured 80 trucks all polished and vying for the people’s choice votes, including emergency vehicles, log trucks, b-trains, and swing-lifts. But despite the variety of trucks, it was Todd Bruning from Tumeke Logging with his gigantic logging truck that won the people’s choice award. The day raised around $7500 which will go towards the school van as well as classrooms and educating students outside of the classroom. “The day went really well, we had so many families come through. Everyone was buzzing, the kids were performing really well and the truck drivers polished their trucks so you could do your makeup in the reflection,” says Melanie Edwards, one of the 10 PTA mums who put the show together.

History is being brought to life in Easby Park this weekend as part of a fun way to encourage people to get out-and-about and explore their local parks and reserves. The public get to discover some of Richmond’s untold stories from days gone by as they stroll around Easby Park on Sunday, November 19. Actors will be stationed in the park, providing insight into everyday life in Richmond in the 1920s, as well as up the Reservoir Track, discussing life as a coal miner in the 1870s. Council community partnerships officer Lani Evans says that Easby Park and the surrounding Reservoir Reserve are rich with history. “Few people realise that there was a coal mine operating just above Easby Park on the left of Reservoir Creek,” says Lani. “Coal was extracted and used for steam engines and household heating between 1862 and 1880.” Easby Park was originally part of Barrington Farm, purchased by George
Griffin in 1918. Griffin rebuilt the original Barrington homestead and renamed it “Dellside”. The Dellside property still stands today at 28 Marlborough Cres. “100 years ago, students travelled to school in Nelson by train, swam in the Richmond salt water baths and went to the movies in the Oddfellows Hall for sixpence,” says Lani. Gary Lingard says the group of actors are looking forward to giving locals the opportunity to hear conversations the early settlers and miners of Richmond might have had, and to find out a bit more about the town’s history. “My granddad was a miner who died of black lung because of exposure to coal dust, so it’s quite important to me to try and portray life as a miner as accurately as possible.” History brought to life starts at 2pm at Easby Park on Sunday, November 19, and repeats again at 3pm. It includes a short walk between sites so sturdy walking shoes are recommended, however the track is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. Cambrian coal miner played by Gary Lingard.

Mall Chat • There’s only six weeks left to go until Christmas so come and grab one of our Santa Letters, they’re available from the Information Desk. Please post them into the red letterbox by December 15 at the latest, to ensure the kiddies receive a response letter in time. • Santa is arriving at the Richmond Mall on December 11. We will have two sessions daily from 12pm until 2pm and 3pm until 5pm, with an additional session from 6pm until 8pm during late nights on Thursdays. We are in the process of building a new Santa Grotto and we are very excited. Santa photos will be $5, including a little gift from Santa.
Actors wanted to ‘get your gear off’ Judene Edgar Nelson Repertory has produced more than 80 shows over the past 83 years, but are taking on their most daring show, The Full Monty, and are looking for some equally daring actors. Made famous by the awardwinning 1997 film of the same name starring Robert Carlyle, it was adapted into a musical in 2000, and enjoyed a two-year run on Broadway
before playing at the West End. It follows the story of Jerry, an unemployed steel worker who, low on cash and prospects, decides to assemble a Chippendale-style troupe in what he thinks is a great ‘get rich quick’ idea. What follows is an hilarious but also quite heart-warming tale that celebrates mateship and the renewal of self-esteem. Director Bryan Aitken has directed the production
three other times, the most recent in Blenheim in 2015, to rave reviews. “It is one of my favourite musicals to direct, and the story is as relevant today as it was when it was written 20 years ago,” says Bryan. “The strip is only a small part of the journey, and the musical has been refashioned into a deeper, but also a more comedic version of the movie.” Despite the “strip scene” at the end of the
movie, which stopped short of a complete strip by using discreetly placed hats, Bryan isn’t anticipating any trouble casting because of the humanity of the story. He also says that while it’s based around men, there are some great roles for women too. Auditions are the weekend of November 25 and 26. To find out more or to reserve your place go to www.nelsonrepertory.org.nz/thefull-monty-auditions/
• Richmond Mall will also be offering two sessions of Sensitive Santa on December 11 and 17, between 6pm and 7pm.

We’ll be giving away 12 great prizes over 12 days. There are also two sets of $250 Richmond Mall Vouchers hiding behind the Christmas baubles. • Make sure you get the whole family together and pop down to see the Richmond Santa Parade on Sunday, November 26.

“You can be as friendly or as private as you like to be here.” After losing her driver’s licence due to a medical problem, Edna found herself in Tauranga, her home of more than 30 years, with no way to get around. “My daughter in Nelson said to me, ‘you better move here’,” says Edna. “My son came down from Auckland and helped my daughter visit all the Nelson villages. They chose Summerset in the Sun because this is the nicest village. They chose my apartment, which I love. It’s comfortable modern and airy with big windows. Everything about it is top notch.” Edna moved into her serviced apartment 18 months ago. “I couldn’t cope with a big house now. I was lonely living on my own. I’d talk to people on the phone but it’s not the same as having people to talk to everyday like I can here.”

Does starting work part-time after school at the age of 14, then taking on an apprenticeship upon leaving school classify Laurie Anisy as experienced? Yes – but Laurie will still be heard saying, “I am always learning.” Aspects of funeral directing are constantly changing, such as the use of organic products for hygienic preservation, the types and venues for funeral services (including at home, at the beach or even the local club rooms), whether viewing is at home or at the funeral home, the use of audio-visuals as part of the service, and the demand for burials to be as natural as possible. Laurie’s wife Val was rapidly introduced to funeral directing when Laurie fell off a ladder and broke his arm in three places. Now this down-to-earth, local couple and their team aim to provide a more relaxed and personalised service than is traditional in funeral directing. They offer traditional services, modern services and everything in between, burial and cremation and they can do as little or as much as families wish them to. Ring now on 544 1129 for an information pack to be sent to you, or a pamphlet detailing natural burials. When summer comes, so does the festive season which also means many long summer nights enjoying family, friends, food, and entertainment. In preparation for this, it’s time to start thinking about creating your home and garden into a captivating, pleasant, hassle-free state so you can spend your holidays relaxing. The all new Black Forrest mulch is not only an innovative solution to keeping plants healthy and stopping unwanted weeds appearing, but also creating a vibrant and tranquilizing atmosphere. The bold midnight black particles bind together to keep the moisture in the ground and weeds from germinating. The all-natural colourant used in this mulch is environmentally and pet-friendly, 100% natural, and lasts for up to two years. Black Forrest makes that easy-care summer garden a reality. For an information pack, contact Wholesale Landscapes today. “Having left an award-winning garden in Canterbury due to the earthquakes, we arrived in Nelson with an overwhelming passion to create an even more stunning garden experience.Wholesale Landscapes has provided that, and more with their innovative new Black Forrest® mulch.

clUb waimEa From the presidents pen Let’s take a moment to consider the Club Waimea Mission Statement: “Our mission is to ensure Club Waimea provides social, leisure, entertainment, sporting and cultural experiences in a friendly, safe, welcoming environment to which members are proud to bring their families and friends.” Based on recent club activity and member participation, culminating in the extremely popular Melbourne Cup and Members’ Draw days last week, I believe our management/ executive team is doing a great job delivering on this mission Lewis Della Bosca and are to be commended. However, there is more to be done. We are continuously exploring the feasibility of upgrading facilities (such as the pending acoustic baffling) and considering how to provide other facilities for members, such as a much-wanted lounge area. Watch this space for further developments.

A special round of golf
Brittany Spencer Nelson’s intellectually disabled athletes and those keen to support a good cause, took to the green on Sunday for a Special Olympics Nelson fund raising golf tournament. Over $3000 was raised at the tournament which saw intellectually disabled athletes and non-golfers pair up with golfers to take alternate shots around the 9-hole course at Greenacres Golf Club. Although the scoring was not the most important aspect of the day, identi-
cal winning scores of 47 strokes over 9 holes were achieved by two pairs and could only be separated by a count back of the last three holes. Special Olympics athlete Karlin Spiers, and John Towns, a founding member of Special Olympics Nelson, just chipped Special Olympics athlete Reon Enoka and Bernard Enoka from the top spot. “Karlin likes to play well, and on Sunday he knew he had, but he didn’t know he’d won so it was a nice surprise and he was just delighted,” says Tony Naylor,
Head Golf Coach for Special Olympics Nelson. “Absolutely anyone could have won, it could have even gone to a member of the public, but it was really cool that two of our golfers, Karlin and Reon, got the top score. “They were both cheering each other on, Karlin for Reon and Reon for Karlin, they were really delighted to have placed so well.” Nearest the pin was won by Patrick Adamson on the par 3 third hole. Tony says they had around 20 golfers competing on what was an amazing day.
“It was a great day, a fun fund-raiser and it was great that so many people took part, we had our athletes, some parents, and some members of the public.” The $3000 raised on the day will go toward sending six Nelson golfers to play at the National Summer Games in Wellington later this month. Karlin Spiers, Reon Enoka, Gabrielle Green, Hannah Ellis, Hamish Hurst and Finbar Ruebsam will join a team of over forty intellectually disabled athletes from Nelson at the Games which kick off November 26.
Take a look at a particular race, God’s people Israel. They have been scattered all over the world into different countries, treated sometimes with appreciation, other times with contempt. Yet somehow they have the guts to keep going and keep their identity. In the words of a famous musical, Fiddler on the Roof, the thing that they value and hold onto, practice and teach from one generation to another, is tradition. I wonder what traditions our society values and holds to, no matter what is changing around them? The tradition of the Jewish people has been their faith that the Lord our God is one God. No matter how they have been treated by host nations where they found themselves, they kept faith. ‘How can we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?’ they wept. Yet keep the traditions of faith and family they did – and did not let it be watered down
by the changing values of modernity, of idolatry, of immorality. It is 500 years ago that we remember the development of a faith tradition which became known as the reformation. A lonely monk Luthor, declared that the Bible and relationship with God, were open to all who simply believed in Jesus. The church no longer dominated by their tradition, rather faith was dictated by what the Bible actually said. Printing presses now enabled every family to have their own bible and written faith tradition. Christmas and Easter are the timeless traditions of Christian society – much of which we have held onto because they call us back to a time of innocence, a time of strong faith in biblical teaching. What are the traditions your family hold to? Do you recall the traditions of your culture, your religion and your family? Martin Luthor freed people to believe by themselves, read the bible themselves, and set up their own reformation churches. What traditions will you be following this Christmas?

Nelson riders will have a chance to compete against one of the country’s top roadies when they line up against Brad Evans in the Abel Tasman Coastal Challenge on Saturday. Last year, Hamish Bond and George Bennett headlined the inaugural road cycling event and now it’s Brad’s turn to set the pace in the 155km race from Richmond to Marahau and back. The newly-signed Mobius Future Racing professional and former Tour of Southland winner has been in top form this season and goes into Saturday’s race with a big target on his back. However, race organiser John McIntyre says there will be a peloton full of young riders who will be chasing Brad, including Team Skoda Racing’s Joel Yates and Jack Compton. The New Zealand-based development squad also includes
Mapua’s Daniel Reid who says he can’t wait to race on his home roads. “It’s going to be a challenge racing against the elite riders,” Daniel says, “But I’ll be riding on the roads I train on, which is good because I’ll know what’s coming up next.” Daniel says the Abel Tasman Coastal Challenge is a perfect lead-up for his next big assignment, the Manawatu Novice Tour starting on December 10. The elite nationals in Napier, Tour of Te Awamutu and Mersey Valley Tour in Tasmania are also on Daniel’s radar as he sets his long-range sights on qualifying for the world under-19 champs in Austria in September. Although Daniel’s under-19 Skoda team-mate, Nelson’s Finn Fisher-Black, will miss Saturday’s race because he is riding in the Oceania tracks champs in Cambridge, Finn’s older sister Niamh will be lining up in the Challenge. Niamh is getting back on her
bike after a brief spell following her win in the under-19 title in the Calder Stewart Cycling series last month. Niamh had earlier prevailed in the Cuddon Southern Schools cycle tour in Marlborough. The Challenge will also feature two shorter races, the 73km Marahau Mission and 47km Nifty Fifty, as well as team events. And new this year is the ITM Silvan Super TT mountainbike race which will feature four laps and 33km around the grade three trails in the Silvan Forest Mountainbike Park in the Richmond Hills.

BEforE you hit thE watEr When heading out kayaking, it’s worth thinking about the gear you use or take with you. Here’s a quick rundown on some of the basic items to take when heading out on the water. • Whenever you are on the water you should always wear a PFD (a kayak specific lifejacket). You need to ensure the PFD fits well and is suited to the type of kayaking you are doing.

• Carry a way to communicate. A cell phone in a waterproof case can be an inexpensive way to do this, provided there is reception. Carry your phone in your PFD pocket, then it is always with you. • A whistle is a cheap way to make a lot of noise. Attach one to your PFD if you do not already have one. • Consider how visible you are. Kayaks sit low in the water and can be tricky to see. Wearing a bright hat, choosing a paddle with bright blades, wearing a top with bright sleeves or adding a flag to your kayak can increase your visibility. If you are paddling in a busy area, then being easy to spot is a good thing. • If you are heading out for a longer paddle, consider carrying some extra gear. This could be spare clothing or additional food & water. • Lastly, what would you do if you broke your paddle? Depending on where you paddle, carrying a 2-piece paddle as a spare can be a wise choice. This is intended to be an overview rather than an extensive list. For certain trips it would be wise to carry additional items with you. If you would like to know more about this, or any other kayak gear, then pop in and see us for some informative advice.

Tasman Thunder power through teams brawl Jody Scott
The Tasman Thunder made light work in winning the Nelson Automotive Solutions/Jacks Tyres Stock car teams brawl at Milestone Homes Top of the South speedway on Saturday. Picking up an impressive 500 points, the Thunder dominated the event, securing its third title in a row. Visiting teams from around the mainland fronted to do battle over a round-robin format. The Southern Spartans from Invercargill haven’t raced here since the 1990s but were keen to gain valuable experience rebuilding their ranks, while regular visitors the Canterbury Crushers and Greymouth Grizzlies were keen to test themselves against the Thunder who rank as the top Southern team. The teams will battle again in Christchurch next week with the Tasman Thunder a firm favourite to get their hands on the Mainland trophy which has eluded them in past seasons. After the Crushers beat the Spartans first up, the Thunder came out against the Grizzlies and controlled the race from the start, getting all four cars across the line with new driver Dylan Clarke winning the race.

The Spartans then beat the Grizzlies before the Thunder came up against the Crushers. It was a steel-bending race with major damage to several cars and a few drivers feeling the effects of some brutal hits. The Thunder were ruthless with only one Crusher car making the finish line. Craig Tatnell ended his meeting for the Thunder after a big hit at the end of the race, but solid points meant they were almost uncatchable before their final race. The Thunder and Spartans clashed in their final heat with Thunder team captain Michael Paynter leading the charge. Knight was able to stay on the lead lap for the Spartans but his
teammates were unable to slow down Paynter who took the win. In the super saloons, Ian Burson returned to the track in his brand-new car. While he couldn’t catch Rob Flood in the first heat, a set-up change got him dialled in on heat two for an easy victory. The 15-lap feature was pegged as a handicap race with the driver with the most points off the back. Burson started at the back and it took all of his experience to get the dramatic win in the final lap of the race. He was kept at bay by a solid drive by Mark Carey, leaving him a handful of laps to still catch and pass leader Dave Manera. The task made easier when Manera got loose in the dying laps and the pressure from Bur-
son told in the final lap. Going under Manera as he overshot the final corner to win by half a car length. It was a great race from the Super saloons. The Street Stocks' numbers were boosted with some Blenheim cars while Steve Soper returned to the track with a win in the final race after finishing his representative rugby season with the West Coast. The Super Stocks ran their Dave Scott Memorial trophy, with a 15-lap feature race. Alex Bright was going great guns in his new car, winning both heats to start off pole. He lead the final until the last few laps when he was slowed and blocked by Canterbury’s Harley Robb who put his team mate Jacob Brown-
lees into the lead with a lap to go. As they say in stock car racing, 'it’s never over ‘til the chequered flag drops'. It was perfectly timed that none of the locals were able to react to stop Brownlees taking out the win. The Brett Lusty memorial was up for grabs for the Side Cars. It was a hard start for Stuart Anderson and Shaun Harris. The bike tipped sending both drivers skyward. They managed to walk away but were left very sore and retired for the meeting. Aidie Drake and Kieran Satherley continued their winning run, picking up the trophy, they are the ones to beat again this year. The Sprint Cars return this week with the first of two “War of the Wings” meetings. Twenty-plus cars will contest the series with the best of the South Island here in attendance. The first round was held last weekend with Alicia MacLauchlan finishing 10th in the feature while Connor Rangi had a huge moral boost, finishing 2nd in the feature with some impressive racing over the evening. The rollover in the first race here a few weeks ago was a hard way to start the season, but that will be in the past now as he looks to continue the form last week at his home track here in Nelson.
It is about our urban supply People living in Richmond, Brightwater, Hope, all the way through to Mapua, get their household water from the groundwater and aquifers fed by the Waimea River. There are seven wells near the lower reaches of the river, from which water is pumped to the Richmond Water Treatment Station. The treated water is then piped to homes for residents to use. The Waimea River system is quite small. It only takes about a month without rain for the flow in the river to drop and restrictions to be imposed. The current discussion about building a dam to store water for the Waimea Plains is about making sure the Council can continue to deliver a reliable supply of highquality water. This is not just about water for irrigation; household water comes from the same place as the water used for irrigation on the Plains. In fact, the Tasman District Council (as the water supplier) is the largest single taker of water from the Waimea system and there is simply not enough over the dry periods. Whatever the final outcome of the dam debate may be, the communities in this supply area will be affected. The Waimea Community Dam will store water, then release it during dry periods to maintain a reliable flow of water in the river, replenish the aquifers and
ensure a secure water supply for urban residents and businesses. This will also protect the aquifers from saltwater intrusion contaminating drinking water supplies – this can happen when the water level in the aquifers drop too low. During the 2001 drought, we were forced to permanently close two of our wells after they became contaminated by saltwater. At the moment we’re asking residents for their views on proposals for governing the dam, and funding the Council’s $26.8 million share of its costs, among other things. We want to hear from you. This is an issue that affects you. We have a legal responsibility to provide a reliable water supply to the community, so doing nothing is simply not an option. Alternatives to the dam for providing water to our urban areas only have been assessed over the years, and the analysis of those suggests they would be more expensive, especially for urban water users, than the current proposal. If you have any questions come to one of the planned drop-in sessions or go online at www.tasman.govt.nz – the answer may be there already.

Accordingly, there were many people eager to practice their drafting skills. But there was no one capable of staying with Hayden as he stretched out his lead by another two minutes over the chasing groups with Jon, Mark and Matt working efficiently together to limit the damage.

A cold, cloudy morning kept the numbers down, but the sun came out just as the event started with a 750m swim. Hayden, 19, left the water with a two-minute lead over Marlborough triathlete Mark Grammer, followed closely by Jon Linyard, Matt Newberry and Josh Barber. Internationally, sprint triathlons for age groupers are now draft-legal on the bike, allowing competitors to ride in bunches and making for exciting bike ride. With next year’s world cham-

In the short triathlon, under-16 competitors preparing for the national school event dominated, with Fergus Greer crossing the line in 29min 30sec. Josh Sheridan was second in 30min 13sec and Gus Marfell third in 32min 52sec with the first female, Hannah Price, recording 41min 15sec. Anthony Mollo won the longer duathlon from Diane Grigg and Simon Biss, while Ian McNabb won the short duathlon from Ollie Whitaker and Nicki Alexander. The club’s next triathlon on December 10 incorporates multiple laps of swim, bike and run with options for team entries.

BIG BLUE Hint: Match your bait to the time of year. Early season should be squid as these are in the bay and are a popular food source. Later on it might be mackerel or pilchard. Check stomach contents of caught fish for an indication of what’s being eaten but also be prepared to change or alternate if nothings being taken.

Sea swimmers take plunge in Port Nelson series Peter Gibbs
The top two swimmers from last year’s Port Nelson Sea Swim Series went head-to-head in this season’s opening race from the Nelson Yacht Club on Thursday. It was Luke Kelly’s turn, as he recorded 8 minutes 38 seconds for a three-second win over last year’s series winner Hayden Squance. Things didn’t look promising earlier in the day with a lot of debris in the harbour and fairly choppy seas, but by 6pm the outgoing
tide had largely cleared the rubbish away, the wind had dropped and the sea was calm for the 167 swimmers who turned out. Although the older age groups are growing, it was noticeable that young swimmers from two of the region’s squads were out in force with their coaches, preparing for the national open water swims to come later in the season. Under-16 competitors Bendi Kepess (9min 15sec) and Josh Sheridan (9min 17sec) took third and fourth spots, ahead of Matai
McGuinniety (9min 20sec). Sierra Thomas stepped up for her first win in the women’s section, finishing in 9min 21sec, ahead of Sophie Alexander (9min 25sec). Austen Dean was eighth in 9min 30sec, ahead of the leading older swimmer, Terry Bone (9min 37sec), first in M40-49 and Hamish Neill (9min 48sec), M50-59 winner. Andrew Martin (9min 51sec) was the next M5059 swimmer ashore, followed in that age group by Denis Cooper (10min 18sec).
Matt Hansen won M30-39, finishing in 20th in 10min 19sec. In other age groups, Christina Harris took F50-59 in 10min 28sec, ahead of Kerry Mathieson (10min 45sec). Malcolm Anderson (10min 42sec) won M60-69 in his first outing in this age group, Derek Eaton (11min 49sec) continued his dominance in M70-79 and Ruth Thomas (11min 57sec) and Renee Hunt (12min 6sec) won their respective F30-39 and F40-49 age groups. Maggy Johnston (12min 37sec)
continued her form of last summer, winning F60-69. The short race over 400m turned into a thriller with Yegor Jones and Mark Smale going stroke for stroke and recording the same time of 6min 2sec. They were followed by Mia Langley (6min 37sec) and Nick Lovell (6min 39sec). Lauren Penney was first in the open women’s section, finishing eighth in 7min 13sec. Swimming in the Port Nelson series continues every week through to March.

Waimea Toi Toi United got back in cricket's winning circle on Saturday, beating Wanderers at Brightwater. Batting first, Waimea made an impressive 248, on the back of a huge 148 from opener Tom Ingham, who was eventually run out just two short of what would have been another big milestone. In reply, Wanderers had the run rate but lost too many wickets as it was all out in the 34th over for 201. Once again, Tom Cross was Wanderers top scorer, smashing
75 off just 50 balls before he was bowled by Jon Routhan. At Victory Square, Stoke/Nayland battled to 167 before they were bowled out in the 45th over. In reply Wakatu could only manage 107 before they were bowled out. Aaron Dron was the star for Wakatu, picking up four wickets with the ball and top scoring with 52 with the bat. At the Botanics, Nelson College continued its impressive start in beating ACOB, which was dismissed for just 131, by six wickets.
