The building was shaking, customers were fleeing out the door and a jackhammer crashed through the wall, but trade still continued at thepacific.net and the Hospice Shop – two Queen St retailers situated next to a demolition zone. “Patient” was the word one Network Tasman spokesperson described the remaining tenants left in its Queen St building which is now due to be renovated and structurally upgraded, just days after the 76 year old building next door was deconstructed. The renovations will not be completed until February next year, as it needs to be re-clad, re-glazed, and “generally tidied up”. The spokesperson says the two tenants – thepacific. net and the Hospice Shop – will continue to trade throughout the process, as they have done while the building next door was pulled down. “They’ve been very patient. Demolition isn’t easy. We’ve been talking to them and they’ve been very patient,” he says. Sue Lubransky, office manager at thepacific.net, described the situ-

A jackhammer managed to puncture a hole in the wall and you can imagine what that felt like while we were trying to work,” she says. “Customers didn’t feel very safe.” Because the building was coming down next door, Sue says some customers had thought her business was closed, when it had in fact been open right throughout the process. Now that the front of the building was to be re-clad, she admits they will lose their “visibility” and that might also give customers the impression that business was closed. “How it’s going to work I don’t know.

The landlord is doing the right thing though, and will also be doing some extra steel strengthening in the building.” The Hospice Shop’s general manager Karen MacKenzie says they were a victim of circumstance, as the seven week closure following the flood compounded the current situation. “I have been away during the most of it but my assistant manager told me it had been really, really difficult, particularly with the jackhammer going. Things were coming off shelves, the phone lines were cut off, the eftpos was cut off and we had to assure customers

South Island’s second fastest growing region Tasman is the second fastest growing region in the Southland, just behind Nelson, but overall still has more people living in it than our neighbours. The district’s census count grew by almost six percent to 47,157 in the seven years since the last census, according to figures released yesterday by Statistics New Zealand. By population, Tasman is the 12th largest of New Zealand’s

16 regional council areas, having grown by 2532 people. “Tasman continues to grow at about the same rate as New Zealand’s population overall, and like New Zealand it had slower growth than between 2001 and 2006,” says Government statistician Liz MacPherson. In comparison, Nelson, which is the 13th largest region, grew to 46,437, an increase of more than eight per cent. Nelson’s

census count grew faster than anywhere else in the South Island between 2006 and 2013, and was second to Auckland in New Zealand. While Marlborough has 43,416 people and is the 15th largest region. Auckland had a resident population count of 1.42 million, up about eight percent since 2006. Just over half of New Zealand’s population growth since the last census occurred in Auckland.

We’re hoping some of our friends around here will extend their hours and join us. It could be a real

point of difference for Richmond.” More than 500 people applied for work at Kmart in Richmond with 90 of those applicants successful. From that, around 25-30 are current secondary school students from Garin College and Waimea College. Only three of the staff will be from out of town. Work and Income sourced a lot of the candidates, which included people that had previ-

ously been on sickness benefits or unemployed long term, as did local job service providers. More than 50,000 lines of merchandise will arrive in the store during the next nine days as the official opening date of Thursday November 7 beckons – all of it coming through the port from various locations around the country and Australia. Kmart is part of the Gibbons development project which will also include The Warehouse, Couplands, Benge and Co, Columbus Coffee, Aki Sushi and one other yet to be announced retailer.

Villagers ‘buoyant’ as sale nears

Nelson Police recently ran a road policing operation to focus on checking whether people were complying with the conditions of their graduated driver’s licence. Anecdotally we are aware that a fair number of people who hold a restricted driver’s licence routinely breach the conditions of that licence by carrying passengers and driving outside the authorised hours. This complacency often comes from people getting their restricted licence and then doing nothing about progressing to a full licence - often for several years. The checks we did recently focussed on the area’s secondary schools to make sure those students driving to school on a restricted licence weren’t carrying passengers. This is something I would like to see parents take some ownership of as well. You can’t let your teenager on a restricted licence drive younger siblings around, regardless of how convenient that might be for you! A teenager with a vehicle is likely to get some pressure from their peers to give them a ride and they need your support and direction to ensure they don’t succumb to that pressure. For one, it is illegal and secondly your insurance will not be valid should they be involved in an accident. There are very good reasons graduated licences place certain conditions on the drivers and they’re all focused around safety. An inexperienced driver with a car full of mates is much more likely to be distracted or to show off and drive in an unsafe way. I would encourage anyone who is going through the licensing process to make an effort to progress to gaining a full licence. I am also asking all parents and guardians to take some responsibility for ensuring younger drivers do not break the law and put themselves and other road users at risk.

A buoyant mood has developed at Waimea Village as more and more residents come forward and agree to buy a share in the village, says the resident’s committee chairman. Jerry Rowland says now 140 of the 172 home owners have signed on to become shareholders of a new company that will own the village, up from the 100 that were confirmed last week. He says with nine homes owners still to indicate their intentions, that number could still rise. The latest figures were delivered to residents by the man behind the deal, Kit

Maling. He told residents at a meeting on Monday night that the high number of people keen to buy a 172nd share of the village off current owners Michael and Carolyn Wright means the deal to buy it is on track. Residents were told due diligence is underway and that is expected to take up to a fortnight. The deadline for the sale of the village is November 1. Kit told the Weekly the number of people who have signed on was hugely positive and he was looking forward to watching the residents take

Elections for all directors will be held next year at the new company’s annual general meeting.

Spending on the rise Regional spending growth is again amongst the highest in the country with an increase of 7.3 per cent in September, according to eftpos provider Paymark. The growth is the fourth highest in the country after Palmerston North, Marlborugh and Canterbury. It was also above nationwide average of a 5.3 per cent increase in the month.

The figures released by Paymark show $73.1 million was spent in Nelson through the network, which processes 75 per cent of all eftpos transactions in New Zealand. That is up from $68.2 million in 2012. The latest figures indicate increased optimism amongst shoppers and bucks the trend of what can be a “fickle” time for

businesses, says Richmond Unlimited’s Kevin Gear. “The majority of businesses that we have relationships with are all busy and they’re pretty confident going forward,” he says. “It can be a little fickle but this year is certainly proving to be a winner and we’re looking forward to a great Christmas period.”

Nelson cadets win SI title Nelson’s Cadet Unit has returned home as champions of the South Island, determined to add a national crown to their haul next month. The Nelson unit competed in at Burnham Army Camp in Christchurch last week and took out the South Island title convincingly, winning six of the nine stages. They will return to Burnham in the first weekend of November for the national finals and are confident of winning the crown they claimed in 2010 and 2011. “We always think we’re going to win,” says Gareth Edwards who went away with the team as their manager. Three day event tests the cadets over a range of skills including first aid, navigation, standard army physical tests, radio work, initiative testing, leadership tasks and a lot of theory. “It’s very intense but they are pretty good and pretty much cleaned up on everything,” says Gareth.

Knitters help out Starship A group of Nelson women have been busy turning socks into monkeys and bears, and will send them to sick children at Starship Hospital hoping it will put a smile on their faces. Janet Neill, who is part of the Nelson Centre Women’s Institute, says the idea is not a new one and has been around since her grandmother’s day. “But it’s new to us and I think they got it off the internet somewhere and we went from there,” she says. “The idea appealed to us and I

know there’s a hospital here but the children at Starship are so ill.” Janet smiled when asked if the children would love the knitted monkeys which are made using one pair of socks and some nylon stuffing. The group of around six people met together for the first knitting session but then individuals completed them in their own time. “We got together at my place, had a cup of tea and made monkeys.” They will be sent to Auckland in the coming days.

Janet Neill and the Nelson Centre Women’s Institute are going to donate sock monkeys to Starship Hospital patients.

Just a thought...

Many people think getting to Heav- how can anyone be saved? The Bien is about addition. They think by ble says: “What is impossible with adding good works to themselves human beings is possible with they will be saved. They hold to God”. Salvation belongs to God. It’s the equation: Me + Good Works = God who takes away sins, not our Salvation (going to Heaven). This is good works. God does this through the message of most of the world’s his son Jesus Christ. Because God religions, but the Bible teaches the loves us so much, he sent Jesus complete opposite.

NEW LOCATION! It’s not every day you get the opportunity to set up shop on one of Richmond’s main streets, so when the chance came along for the team at Advanced Automotive, they jumped at it. Previously based out of Cargill Pl, off Beach Rd, Tony and Janine Grainger have shifted their automotive repairs and servicing workshop to 4a Gladstone Rd. They couldn’t be more excited about the move which is not only making life more convenient for their customers, but is giving the business visible street frontage and easier access. Even if you blink, you will not be able to miss their bright green building, opposite the Mobil petrol station. The Advanced Automotive logo boldly

stands out from the rest giving plenty of notice as to where their new home is located. Tony says the shift is all about perfect timing and already he’s noticed a positive difference in having the workshop on the main road. With the shopping centre of Richmond just a stone’s throw away on Queen St, he’s found customers are able to call in, drop off and get things done while their car is being looked after – and he’s all about customer convenience. “I have noticed a difference in how easy it is for our customers to drop in with or leave their vehicle with us while it is being repaired. Being so close to cafes, supermarkets and central shops means they can get on with their busy day, while

about being here and we want to say thank you to our regulars who have supported us in Cargill Pl, and will continue to support us now on Gladstone Rd.” Along with the move, you’ll be seeing some new faces next time you call into the workshop too. The business has grown to the point that Tony now needs a second pair of hands – and local mechanic Craig Jonasen is the perfect man for the job. Qualified and with extensive dealership experience, Craig’s expertise has been a huge asset to the team. When they say Advanced Automotive is a local,

F CUS ON WAKEFIELD School pool to open for summer Lydia Visser The Wakefield School and community pool is reopening on November 3. Summer is on it’s way and with that comes the opening of our local Pool. We are lucky to have such an excellent facility and last season the pool proved popular once again with a wide range of people in the community. The original swimming pool was built in 1953 and was still in use when the Board of Trustees Chairperson, Mrs Adrienne Baigent called a public meeting in the school library in 1994 to gauge community support for building a new larger pool. In 1996 the Wakefield School & Com-

munity Swimming Pool Incorporated society was established. A committee with school and community representatives was formed to undertake the project. In 1997 after major fundraising the present two pool complex was constructed on the school’s playing field beside the boiler house. The cost of the pool was $160,000 with funds obtained from local fundraising, Community Trust Grant, Lotteries Commission and the Tasman District Council. In August 1998, David Crowe left a substantial bequest to roof and enclose the swimming pool. Eventually this was achieved with the structure being built in 2001 and opened in December of that year by Tim King, the Tasman District Council deputy mayor and Mr George Baigent, chairperson of the Wakefield School and Community Swimming Pool management board. The total cost of the structure was $210,170.60 with extra funding coming from the Tasman District Council’s reserve funds and additional fundraising by the society. This season the pool will open on Sunday November 3 with our annual ‘Wet and Wild’

Trevor Woodbury and Arnold Mason, Wakefield Bowling Club members during the set up of their Giant Garage sale event, which was held on Sunday. The club came up with the idea as a unique way to fundraise for their club and proceeds will go straight back in to helping the club’s operations. Arnold says the club managed to fundraise more than $1000 from the garage sale and a crowd of over 100 came through steadily during the day. The garage sale was run in conjunction with their annual “Have a Go” day. The club managed to attract a number of families who hit the green to try out bowls, with some playing for three hours and never leaving the lawn. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie.

• It’s October. Half way through in fact and time to hustle the bustle in the vege garden. I am not a good vege grower, so I have devised a cunning little plan. I only grow the veges that want to grow for me. • So here is my list: Tomatoes, beans potatoes, spinach and pumpkin. Carrots miss out because they need thinning, and I am too lazy to do that. But then, if a few radish seeds were included with the carrots, thinning may not be necessary. • Parsnip miss as well because we only use a very few. But here is a clever thought. Because parsnips are slow to germinate, how about sowing them together with carrots? You will definitely know where they are supposed to be anyway. The other method to try with parsnip seed is to make a drill where they are to grow, then before sowing the seed, pour some boiling water along the drill, sow the seed and lightly cover with soil, and hey presto, success! I tried it and it did work.

• Swedes go in the “Too Hard Basket” because of lack of space. But I like them so I might try growing them in a tub. Will keep you posted on the success or lack of, later. I don’t grow brassicas because of the white butterfly and we are not home long enough to treat the plants. I do grow them for winter use though, relying on the colder weather to keep the pests away. • But I am going to give capsicums a go. They will be in a tub and grow in the tunnel house. • I planted my potatoes a couple of weeks ago, using the layering method of damp paper, and pea straw. On our return home last week, I rushed to the potato patch to see how they were going. Nothing. So I peeled back a layer of paper, and there they were. Sprouting away beautifully. I might add that we are going to enjoy a nice meal or two of peas which have come up through the straw of their own free will. I don’t mind. • If you are new to growing veges, don’t panic. You will learn as you go along. Perhaps you should stick to my Easy as She Goes list. Should that read Easy as She Grows? • When we started a family, I panicked about caring for this new baby. A big ask indeed! I told Peter of my worries. “Don’t worry,” he said, “they will teach you in the hospital.” So I didn’t, and they didn’t either. Teach me, that is. We left the hospital with this brand new baby in our care. And do you know what? It was a matter of common sense. Just like gardening. • Had a quick whip around the garden last week. The viburnums are looking lovely, particularly the varieties with lacecap flowers like Mariesii and Grandiflorum. The wisterias are grown as standards and give an oriental effect, and the cornus or dogwoods are starting to do their thing and a treat to see. • If you are ever in Blenheim, and feel inclined to visit this garden that I talk about, we are in the phone book, and there is always someone there between 10am and 3pm 7 days. It is not pristine clean, and never will be, but entry is free, and if you don’t like it, you can always visit another garden more to your liking. See you later, Jill.

City cycle race ditched Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The most iconic race has been ditched from the Konica Minolta Cycle Festival – a move the Tasman Wheelers vice president says is “disappointing”. The Nelson City Criterium, which saw cyclists whizz around the church steps and city streets at high speeds, is the most notable omission from the 2013 event’s calendar. Organisers listed cost, logistics, the reliance on volunteers and the fact it was mainly for “elite” riders as reasons for its absence. “What we’re trying to do is getting a better mix of more community events with harder races, but making it more inclusive,” they said, hinting at a more participation-orientated festival. “Preferably we want to see an event at the top end of Trafalgar St and we don’t think this is gone. When we review the calendar I’m sure it’ll come up again but we need someone to put their hand up and the guys just have too much on.” Tasman Wheelers vice president Dean Fulton says logistically it was becoming increasingly more

I imagine even setting up the Santa Parade would be a nightmare.” As a competitor, Dean believed the criterium and the Urban Cross Country Race, which is still going ahead and involves racing through Nelson College,

were the best events on last year’s Cycle Festival schedule. “At the moment I don’t have any answer for it, I’m just watching things unfold and shaking my head.” In whatever form, organisers say it is their goal to have an event at the top of Trafalgar St in future years, while Dean would like to see a road race through Richmond’s Queen St. “People should have a festival atmosphere and adsorb it. It’d be a hoot.” The Nelson Cycle Festival, which runs until November 3, begins this Saturday. For a full event schedule visit www.nelsoncyclefest.co.nz.

As rugby posts come down and the cricket pitch rollers come out, Nelson’s sporting fields are starting to take shape for what could be the sport’s most exciting summer ever. Nelson Cricket has struggled in recent years on and off the pitch but a new golden age appears to have dawned with Saxton Oval the center of it and a new general manager helping to eek out its potential. Ed Shuttleworth has only been in the job for a little over a year. In that time he’s seen a 20 per cent increase in player numbers and a 40 per cent increase in young players. The BlackCaps have announced their first ever one day international to be played in Nelson, at Saxton Oval on January 4, and the organisers of Cricket World Cup handed the city three games for the sport’s top tournament. Ed says the future for the sport is indeed bright. “It’s an exciting time for the association. We are lucky to have world cup games considering other grounds across New Zealand

and Australia. We have done amazingly well to get there.” When he stepped into the job he says he had three main goals, to make the association financially stable, to grow the game locally and to attract international cricket. Given recent announcements you’d have to say he's ticked every box already. He says his first target was player numbers and attracting more players into the sport. For cricket fans the opportunity to watch international cricket in Nelson will be a huge moment. Ed says Nelson has the chance to make a statement with the hosting of this summer’s BlackCaps game on January 4. “We know we’ve got a great facility locally but it’s getting a window to show it. Getting world cup and getting international games mean a whole new set of people will be watching so we are on the radar now and we need to take full advantage of it.”

Masters Games could return Nelson could host the South Island Masters Games again, but it won’t be until 2015 at the earliest. Reflecting on a busy two weeks of competitive and social sports, events manager Rita Merriman says Sport Tasman has already expressed interest at hosting the event again. Due to the 2013 tournament’s success, which saw 2400 people take part all together, she hoped Nelson would be a front runner to get it, with Christchurch still lacking in facilities following the earthquakes. “From Sport Tasman’s perspective, we’re definitely keen to manage the event again. We’ve already expressed interest,” says Rita. “It’s in Timaru next year and then it’s likely to come back in 2015. Saxton Field is a world class facility so it’s great we can have multiple codes participating at the same time and this event re-

ally showcases that. There are few places in the country that are equal to Saxton Field.” Football, netball, walk-run events and tennis were the most popular sports this year while touch rugby and volleyball also attracted plenty of interest. However, there were some sports that had very little participation. Rita believed that turning Saxton Field into a “games village” with a bar and marquee featuring live music centralised the event and created a better atmosphere. “Personally I thought the games village was the overall highlight just because it brought everyone together. People would come and meet and have a bite to eat and I think that was definitely a big improvement.” A review would be done in the coming weeks, discussing ways it could be improved in future Phillip Rollo years.

SPEEDWAY

www.nelsonspeedway.co.nz Summer is just around the corner, so if you’ve seen a lot of speedway vehicles being transported around town with new sign writing it can only mean one thing – the season for speedway is about to begin. If you are a speedway fan, then be prepared for another season of thrilling Saturday nights spent at the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Speedway. With pre-season laps under their belts, new and experienced drivers are rearing to go, and they won’t have to wait long with the season kicking off this Saturday night at 7pm. This year’s grand opening is being held

earlier in a similar format to last year’s event and will be followed by the Coca Cola fireworks display on November 2. This year’s superstock team race between arch rivals the Palmerston Panthers and our own Nelson Tigers will be hosted in Palmerston North on November 23. All the best to the drivers – the crowds who make the trip up will be cheering you on from the grandstand and there’ll be plenty of support from fans here at home. This year Nelson will play host to another round of the Sprintcar War of the Wings South Island series. There

Ian Burson will be looking to improve on his third placing at the New Zealand Super Saloon Championship. Photos: Phillip Rollo. is sure to be some carnage as the mighty sprintcars bring their best form and being early on in the season, a full field of top competitors are expected to show for the event. Make sure you get a front row seat for this on November 30.

SPEEDWAY

www.nelsonspeedway.co.nz lights on the speedway calendar, and Nelson Speedway will be only too happy to host it. This event is known as ‘the jewel in the speedway crown’ close of course to the New Zealand Superstock Championship which will be held in Hawkes Bay next year in January. After a stellar performance at the national champs, which was held here last season, expect youngsters Dale McKenzie (2NZ) and Thomas Stanaway (3NZ) to shine at the South Island Championship, and don’t forget the SI event was won by 5n Nick Fowler. With home advantage and incredible depth, there should be a few Nelson drivers on the podium. Nelson Speedway is also set to host the TQ Midget Grand Prix in the new year on January 11 with champions from all over the country descending on the local track. And yet again, Nelson has been given hosting rights for a national title with the Zumo NZ Streestock Championship on the weekend of the 24 to 25. Can we finally see a Nelson driver on the podium?

Nelson Speedway’s 2013-2014 season begins this weekend, with plenty more spills and thrills expected. Other major promotions for the upcoming season include the Classic Hits Demolition Derby, the Sturgeons Amusements King of the Clay, War of the Wings, South Island sidecar championship and Stock Shock events. There will be a number of support promotions planned to go alongside the main events to make sure fans of all speedway classes see their favourite thrills and spills

throughout the season. Speedway is fun for the whole family and it’s not all about the action happening on the track. With plenty of food and refreshments to be had, entertainment, spot prizes, a great atmosphere and well organised racing aimed at all ages, make the most of what Tahuna beach Holiday Park Speedway has to offer this season and support your local drivers.

Stay in touch, keep up to date and connect with other speedway fans via the Nelson Speedway facebook page or check out www.nelsonspeedway.co.nz.

Makos reach playoffs Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

History beckons for the Tasman Makos, who are now just one win away a spot in the ITM Cup Championship final – a feat the country’s newest provincial side has never achieved. Tasman will go into this weekend’s semi final as firm favourites, finishing top of the table on 36 points – a staggering 16 points ahead of fourth place Southland – and with the knowledge that they have beaten each of the three other semi finalists already this year. The Makos were already guaranteed top spot and a Blenheim semi before Sunday’s commanding 57-14 win over Manawatu, a game that saw Marty Banks break the record for the most points scored in a Makos season with 113. However, the result has ensured their huge wave of momentum will continue through to this weekend, having gone unbeaten for the past month. Although Tasman is clear favourites for the upcoming game, assistant coach Leon MacDonald is well aware that there is “no tomorrow” if they lose again this season. “Our goal at the start of the season was to win this competition and for the next two weeks this

is it really,” says Leon. “All of the good work has been done and now we’ve got an opportunity. The fact that we’re at home is a bonus but it’s not going to win you the game.” Leon says the players have set high standards and were the driving force behind the team’s success, winning eight of ten games and scoring 333 points on the way – the second highest in all of the ITM Cup, even more than Premiership leaders Wellington. Last year the two standout individuals were imports Peter Betham and Canterbury loa-

nee Jordan Taufua but neither returned to the province for 2013. So why is this squad so much better, and that much more confident this year? Well, Leon believes continuation has been key. “These guys have been together for awhile now and expectations have grown. We’ve got the belief that we’re good enough to win the competition now and that’s huge. If we get our game right we’re going to be hard to stop.” Saturday’s playoff game kicks off at 4:35pm at Blenheim’s Lansdowne Park.
