The solution to prevent buses holding up traffic in Sundial Square will just add further confusion and frustration says councillor Judene Edgar who has labelled it a “joke”.

A dozen Fords is not enough

Ross Sharpe’s obsession with Ford Model A motor vehicles began 17 years ago and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Ahead of next weekend’s birthday celebrations for the late Henry Ford, Ross will open up his garage and have a dozen different Model As to choose from, before driving out to Rabbit Island along

with hundreds of the region’s other Ford owners.

The event is organised by the Nelson Classic Ford Car Club and will be held next Sunday, July 29, from 11am.

Ross owns 12 Model A cars, the first of which took him three trailer loads to bring back from Takaka. Now the Richmond

house wash specialist sources them from all over the country.

He opens up his shed for members of the public to visit his cars.

Some of them have been found in barns, unused for decades. So it was no surprise when Ross came across four dead rats in the back SEE PAGE 4 wheelchairs mobility scooters walker/canes electric beds ands hoists lift assist chairs bathroom solutions incontinence products daily living aids/products

“Yeah I think it’s very important, partly because otherwise we’re only speaking the single language where other countries are exposed to more.”

“I think it’s pretty important that it doesn’t die off but it depends how much people would need to be learning.”

“I suppose I’d learn it, maybe. The language is important because it’s cutural and should be kept.”

Driving home from work was made difficult by a blanket of fog that covered the region on Monday evening.

Queen St was a thick grey from 4:30pm onwards with motorists struggling to see long distances in front of them while the centre of Queen St was out of sight from the Salisbury Rd roundabout. The fog

came just one day after the Tasman region was battered by heavy rainfall in western areas.

Half a metre of rain fell over the weekend but it was still not even close to the intensities recorded in December of last year. The region did not escape unscathed though, with the Murchison area receiving a repeat of

the flooding seen several weeks ago, and road closures in a number of places. At Murchison, 155mm were collected at the Longford recorder, this being the greatest two day fall since records began in 1994. The one day total of 113.5mm was also the biggest seen in that time. Just 40mm were measured in Richmond.

They could just park there, with no circling around, and then move into Sundial Square when it’s

It was likely that NBus customers could think they had missed the bus if they saw it leaving Sundial Square, says Judene. “You don’t know that it’s going to circle around the block because what bloody bus does that? There seems to be no common sense applied.”

Tasman District Council transport manager Gary Clark was unavailable to comment on why council favoured the route which will see the bus circle

SBL manager Tony Cumming was under the impression that no decision had been confirmed and says talks were ongoing but positive.

SBL originally requested a bus stop be moved into Sundial Square so it was closer to the Richmond Mall but when the traffic became blocked off it asked council for a second stop. TDC did not want to give up another two car parks in the centre of Richmond.

A dozen cars is not enough for Ford collector FROM PAGE 1 of one of them. “I collect all kinds of things. I’m just like a Weka, I collect anything shiny,” he says. “I love the adrenalin rush of what I call a barn find. In one instance a lady drove her Model A into the barn, turned the key off and left it there for 20 years.”

The earliest models that Ross owns date back to 1928, the year the Model A was first released.

Ross only registers two of the cars at

a time and some of them are still not ready to be driven on the road again.

“I’ve only restored one of them. I like to buy them and tidy them up.”

One day Ross hopes to have his own museum for the cars but at this stage they will remain in the largest shed he can get council consent for. “It’s the biggest one you’ll get on a residential section, people still don’t understand how I got it and neither do I.” Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863.

Brides go from aisle to catwalk

Rosie Thomsen

A dozen wedding dresses received a rare encore on the weekend, with twelve local brides taking the opportunity to relive the happiest day of their lives.

The Bride of the Year show was held at Hope Community Church, and allowed newlywed women from the region to show off their wedding gowns, with funds raised going to the Nelson Hospice.

Elle McIllroy of Richmond was the brides’ choice, selected by her competitors. She was married to Jeremy McIllroy in Brightwater on December 3 last year. Elle wore a one piece, strapless a-line dress with a dipped neckline and corset closure, embellished with corded lace flourishes throughout the bodice.

Elle had seen the dress online and by chance $

stumbled upon it in a gown shop in Melbourne.

Elle says she had no hesitation in the knowledge that it was her perfect dress.

Elle’s wedding day was only slightly marred by hay fever caused by the bridal flowers; as soon as they were taken away everything cleared up.

The Bride of the Year judges were looking for flow on the catwalk, and a top to bottom polished look. This was the eighth Bride of the Year show for the region, with Heather Harley announcing her retirement on the night.

“It’s been a lot of hard work but it’s been very rewarding; I know I’ve raised a lot of money for Hospice. Somebody else can pick up the reigns and carry it on,” says Heather.

Jessica Lyver of Nelson City was selected by the judges for the title of Bride of the Year.

The fundraising total has not yet been added, but Heather predicts it will be in the thousands.

Support still high for Salisbury School Some parents of students at Salisbury School have rallied to help save it, saying it is the best option for their children and the government would be crazy to close it.

Earlier this year the Minister of Education announced plans to close four residential schools and replace them with a “wraparound service” for students with special needs.

Richmond’s Salisbury School is a residential girls’ school that takes students with special needs from all over the country.

Last month Nelson list MP Maryan Street delivered a petition against the closure to

Peter Campbell says the school meet the needs of his daughter that no other school could do. “Our daughter now lives independently, has two part time jobs, and a strong network of friends and family. As a parent I am just so relieved we were able to get the right solution for our daughter, and now she’s just thriving.”

Youths cause vandalism Four teenagers have been forwarded on to Youth Aid following a spate of vandalism in Richmond on the weekend of July 8 and 9.

The four teenagers were picked up by police following reports of multiple damaged letterboxes in residential streets on Hill St, Churchill Ave and Appaloosa Ave. They were also suspected of further vandalism and disorderly behaviour at Waimea College on the same evening.

Sergeant Dave Prentice of Nelson says the four youths were “causing

concern” and “acting like idiots”.

The incidents were likely to be specific to school holidays.

There was a previous incident at Richmond School more than one week prior, where five buildings were tagged with marker pens.

“They were quite specific in what they wrote, it was people’s names.”

Waimea College associate principal Graeme Smith says some classroom windows were scratched and plants ripped out around the school grounds during the two week holiday period.

Coffee experts Emma Markland-Webster and Hayden Thompson recently judged the SCAE World of Coffee event in Austria. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Judges get a taste of world event Hayden Thompson travelled to Austria last month to taste 20 of the world’s best brewed coffees.

Hayden made the trip to Europe to appear as a judge at the SCAE World of Coffee, the industry’s most prestigious international coffee competition.

The 2012 edition was held in Vienna and following his certification, Hayden was invited to be one of the judges.

He wasn’t alone either. Emma

Markland-Webster, who is also based in Nelson, was judging the performance of the judges.

The World Brewers Cup is a new competition, highlighting the craft of filter coffee brewing by hand, promoting manual coffee brewing and service excellence. That was the category that Hayden was to judge and spent the week sampling and judging what each individual had made. “You’re tasting cof-

fee in a very different way to how you’d taste an espresso coffee. The top six were using coffees that were very rare, very very expensive but the most amazing coffees you’d ever taste in your life,” says Hayden, who is the general manager of Pomeroy’s Coffee and Tea Company.

Hayden is hoping to judge at next year’s event, which will be held in Australia.

Dancers score Students win sweet ride to school nationals gig Having won the regional Genee Dance Challenge in Christchurch last week, two Nelson ballet dancers have qualified through to the national competition.

Isabel Norriss, 10, of Henley School and Hannah Galbraith, 12, of Nelson College for Girls Preparatory School will be competing at the St James Theatre in Wellington come December.

Isabel is a grade four dancer while Hannah competes in the intermediate foundation section.

Both girls are registered to the Rebecca Bignall Academy of Dance.

Nine dancers from various schools across the region attended the first stage of competition in Christchurch. All dancers had to be selected to enter.

Rebecca was confident both dancers would do well at the national competition.

The Super Couch -a -thon is coming.

Pass it on.

St Joseph’s student Samuel Lee, 10, couldn’t wipe the smile from his face as the classic 1974 Pontiac Trans Am rolled up to his Emano St home on Monday.

The smile stayed with him all the way to school as he, along with his brother Thomas, 13, enjoyed the ride in the car after winning the Richmond Mall and World of Wearable Art and Classic Car Museum competition to win a ride to school.

Peter Cash, of the museum, was on hand to drive the boys in the 1974 New Zealand new 7 litre original and they say they were pretty happy to win the prize and ride.

Richmond Mall manager David Hill says the competition attracted 1112 entries and proved to be very popular once again.

Special Olympics Nelson athlete Chris Tilley is set to realise a lifelong dream of holding his own art exhibition this month.

The exhibition, called ‘Passion Exploding’ will be held at the Refinery Artspace Gallery in Nelson from next Monday.

On display will be 18 art works Chris has painted over the past two years.

“This exhibition is something I have been working towards for a long time,” says Chris. “I’ve been painting ever since I was really young, and I try to take an hour out of every day so I can paint.

“My paintings are of nature, mainly landscapes and animals.

The landscapes sometimes include weather or volcanoes. It’s all stuff I have created in my head or taken from photos and places I’ve been,” says the 25 year old Richmond resident.

Grey Power president steps down Phillip Rollo Gordon Currie is stepping down as president of Nelson Grey Power having made the announcement on his 80th birthday last week.

Gordon spent the start of Thursday at the Tasman District Council attending a morning tea with councillors and mayor Richard Kempthorne, before confirming to the Waimea Weekly that his 18 year reign atop of Nelson’s Grey Power branch will come to an end when a new president is elected.

The former Richmond councillor, who grew up in Karamea, highlighted growing roles within the community as his reason for stepping down. He is the newly appointed A&P Association president and is on the Nelson-Marlborough District Health Board. “Workload and stress load was getting a bit much and I thought, well I have to step down at some stage so what better time than my 80th birthday,” says Gordon.

Gordon has been involved with Grey Power for close to 20 years. He spent the first year as chairman and at the following AGM was elected president.

Gordon has also been chairman of the national federation and has been elected back on its board as a zone director. Being president of a local association and being on the national board could be considered a conflict of interest, which was another reason for stepping down, or as Gordon says; “moving up”.

The grocery world For many years now there has been one family synonymous with the grocery industry in Richmond – it is the Watsons.

The current Fresh Choice business in the Richmond Mall has roots back to the early 1950s. Ivan and his wife Lyalla worked back in this time at Henley Store at the roundabout intersection of Salisbury Rd where the second hand shop is today. At the time the owner of the business was Wilf Gibson whose sister was Lyalla married to Ivan.

Following the cessation of the Henley Store business about the early 1960’s Ivan and Wilf Gibson for a period operated the Black Grocery in Annesbrook. This likely was only ever intended as a “transitional move”, as after a short period Ivan moved back to Richmond where he with Lyalla bought the grocery business situated on the corner of Cambridge and Queen streets, the AMI building is there today. This business I recall was owned by Jack Pearson, previous owners were Richmond mayor Maurie McGlashen (about 1933/34), Gordon Scoltock for a time under the name of Richmond Cash Traders Ivan Watson presenting a scooter to some young lass, (phone number was “3”).

Travel broker wins company award Richmond travel broker Kelly Ogilvie has won two national awards within her company Travel Managers.

Kelly has claimed the title of broker of the year and earned a high flyer award. The high flyer award is based on a points scheme accumulated over the year. Kelly says the broker of the year is judged on how you operate your business, how you do your accounts and the overall performance.

Kelly is one of just two Nelson residents that work for Travel Managers.

A lot of travel brokers under the Travel Managers brand work from home, which is what Kelly has been doing for 18 months. “When I branched out on my own I had to start from scratch again,” says Kelly, who was surprised that she had won the broke of the year award. “It just gives me more flexibility with the kids.”

School holidays finished for me with a weekend of catching up around the house, unpacking the holiday bags, storing away the snow gear and making sure the school bags were prepared for the start of a new term. At Fashion Island the gardeners have been trimming our hedges and tidying the phoenix palms and gardens and paths.

The stores are having winter sales and often you will pass store team members with coffees in hand chatting about exciting happenings in each of their own stores.

I dropped by The Body Shop yesterday to say ‘hi’ to Karen and her team. With the heating up high at home and in my office it was a good excuse to buy some moisturizer and nourishing body butter. On display is the new Lily Cole range in divine pinks which includes shimmer cubes and radiance puffs, making a bright cheerful addition to my purchases.

I am looking forward to seeing you at my Fashion Island

Snooker Tournament attracts intercity interest

Club Waimea’s Colin Bowden lines up another pocket.

Tables have been recovered and relocated, pairs have been selected and everything planned to a tee in the lead up to the Clubs New Zealand South Island Snooker Pairs tournament.

Almost 100 of the South Island’s top Snooker players will converge on Club Waimea for three days from Thursday August 2 to Saturday 4, when the finals and prize giving will be held.

This will be only the second time Club Waimea has hosted the event, with the last time being in 1999. The tournament is held annually, alternating between Christchurch and a volunteer club from elsewhere in the South Island. This is the 36 year the event has run.

Four tables are being disassembled and relocated

to the Club Waimea hall, and the clubs own tables have been re-covered in time for the event.

Pairs to keep an eye on include Garry Hale and Allen Gill of Dunedin, who are going for their fifth consecutive title, tenth overall. They have some heavy competition this year, with Gary Gillard, third ranked in NZ and national coach, pairing up with top Nelson player Mike Boyd. Gary Calderbank and Lorne Wells of Nelson are competing again this year.

They were runners up last year, which was the first time the pairing had entered the tournament.

Club Waimea has nine pairings from the Snooker section entering the tournament. Colin Bowden of the Snooker Section says Club Waimea has been

great with setting up facilities and providing for the upcoming influx of visitors.

“We’ve had tremendous support from local businesses and businesses associated with the club to run this tournament. We’ve

got 34 local businesses and organisations sponsoring us, which is extremely good,” says Colin.

The competition will be held in the snooker room and the Club hall, with spectators welcome.

Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Tuia te Matangi opened this week, hoping to ensure the longevity of the Maori language within the Top of the South.

Fifty-four students will start at the region’s first Maori immersion school next Monday following its official opening ceremony held early Saturday morning.

It is the only Maori immersion school in the South Island north of Christchurch and was fully funded by the Ministry of Education at a cost of $4 million. There are currently 76 Maori immersion schools throughout the country, five of which are in the South Island.

Four teachers will be employed by the school, or kura, which is situated next to the Richmond Church of Christ and Salisbury School.

The journey to open the school has taken more than 25 years, when a group of parents first spoke about the need for a fully immersed Te Reo Maori school in the Nelson region.

Head of the school’s board of trustees Davyeen Stephens says the kura’s overall goal is to see Te Reo spoken within the wider community in every day situations whether it is at a store, in the street or on the rugby field. Te reo is the only language that will be spoken inside the school grounds, except when English is taught as a subject. Davyeen

not attend or there might be some things that need to be put in place.”

Arrow International first began construction in mid January and the Davyeen says everyone is happy with the end result. “Oh definitely. The parents are rapt with the design and how it all turned out in the end.” The school buildings are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, with the

site likely to become green-star certified.

Following Saturday’s ceremony, teachers arrived at the school for work on Monday. “It was a special moment, very emotional but very exciting. Now it’s all about getting on with all of the hard work that will now begin. The opening was a little hill now we have the big hill to try and conquer.”

Proud to support Arrow International

explains that the restriction in the language rule was to ensure te reo stayed as the number one language within the kura. The restriction was driven by the parents and whanau. “They wanted a total immersion Maori speaking facility that they could send their kids to learn everything in te reo Maori,” she says.

The majority of the students can speak “50 per cent” te reo Maori already and each was individually assed during interviews before being accepted into the school. “The main focus next year is to build their te reo. We have a Maori language strategy in place to make that happen. Ideally we wanted the children to come in with a background of having learnt some te reo Maori.”

The school will feature “open space learning” with all students learning within different sections of the same classroom.

It is a co-educational school catering for new entrance level students through to Year 13. Most of the students have come from schools within central Nelson.

Principal Merita Waitoa-Paki said earlier this year that research shows te reo will be lost within 20 years without Maori immersion schools. The first steps to that will be building the word bank of all of the students. Merita has previous experience of working within Maori immersion schools in Christchurch where she was a deputy principal for six years. She highlighted in the Nelson-Marlborough area as one of the weakest in terms of te reo in the whole country.

The school roll dictates the number of teachers and it was initially hoped the kura would have more than 100 students by 2017.

Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Tuia te Matangi students would participate in inter-school events where language would not be a barrier. “For example if there was a Maori sports tournament and the school thought they should be involved in it then they would. If there was an environment where the language wouldn’t be spoken much then they would

Welcome to our July Newsletter, Hello to everyone, hope you are all keeping warm and staying away from the flu bugs that are around. It has been a busy time recently. We held our AGM last week followed by our usual monthly Association meeting. The officers elected were: Chair - Dorothy Rogers, Vice Chair - Sally Symonds, Secretary - Debbie de Joux, Treasurer - Lorna Kerr. Our Committee members have stayed on for another year, thank you to each and every one of you for your support for the last year and also for the year ahead.

Sunday 8 July was a busy day for Brightwater, with the opening of the Wairoa cycle bridge completing the cycle trail from Nelson to Brightwater. Everyone who cycled the trail ended up at the Brightwater Domain where there were food stalls, bouncy castles and other things including some beautiful quilts to look at, tea tasting and barbecue food to eat. Thanks to Chef Paul and his family for coming all the way from Christchurch to make those very yummy sandwiches. We would like to thank everyone who turned up on the day; it was lovely and sunny – a good day to be out and enjoying your community. Our Association provided lunch at the Wanderers Club Rooms for all the officials. Thank you to Sally and her family for organising this, and thanks too to our other committee members for manning stalls, baking, and also Blast Entertainment for giving us a great deal on the two bouncy castles

which all the children had enormous fun on. A special thanks to Glen Doty from ENZA for supplying two boxes of Jazz apples and 18 litres of Jazz apple juice to give away, these were received well and tasted great. Also special thanks to Tasman Bay Food Group for donating the lovely Juicies. Thanks to Scissor Art who donated a voucher for a spot prize. This was won by a gentleman who said his wife would love it. The local Sprig & Fern provided a barbecue for their patrons too. A good day was had by all. The next part of the cycle trail to be completed will be the leg to Wakefield and this should be done by the end of October. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 7 August at the Brightwater School Staffroom at 7.30pm. You are all invited to attend.

Brightwater Playcentre What a cold and wet last few weeks we had! The children have been participating in more indoor activities like painting, play dough, puzzles and collage work, or just enjoying quiet time with a story being read to them. It has been fantastic to see the children playing and learning with and alongside each other and developing budding friendships.

We went on a couple of excursions in the latter part of last term. We had a trip to Chipmunks in Nelson, where the children had an awesome morning playing at the complex. We also went on a walk around the Nelson Airport where a small group of children and their parNOW OPEN ents braved the cold weather.

This Week

On the Brightside Something For Everyone – Even FFFF When most people think of church they think of the classical historic white wooden building sitting out in a picturesque location, and we certainly have one of those. However there is a lot more than this romantic picture. The church is not a building, it is the people who come together to encourage and help each other in the adventure we call life. As a church we seek to foster a community in which people can be real about their life and help each other to walk closer with God. As such we have a large variety of opportunities to be community, from traditional services to contemporary style, small groups for support and encouragement, exercise classes, Music and Rhythm for Toddlers and much more.

What is FFFF you might be wondering? It is a creative family event designed to bring families together for Fun, Food, Faith and Friendships. It is held on a Friday night once a month, with games, food and a time to explore something about faith. Food is always a surprise with each family contributing a dish, Fun is a mixture of games, challenges and sometimes a funny YouTube clip, Faith is a talk or video clip with discussion groups afterward, and Friendships, well they just happen naturally.

For more info call 542 3694, email brightwaterchurch@gmail.com or visit http://waimea.nelsonanglican.org.nz/.

Our mid winter dinner for the senior people in the Brightwater district will be held on Friday 10 August. If you would like to reserve a seat please ring Roz 542 3683.

Brightwater Scout Group Waking up to a minus 2 degree frost in a make shift shelter, taking a car engine apart and holding an international cooking night and eating the results are just a few of the things that Brightwater Scouts have done in the last term.

The aim of Scouts is to encourage the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development of young people so that they may take a constructive place in society, by offering a challenging, fun programme to help the boys and girls develop new skills and interpersonal skills. It is a lot of fun and learning, not only for the Cubs and Scouts but also the leaders. In the next term we hope to look at learning to weld, making radios and a whole lot of other fun activities. If you would like to join in the fun Scouts (10 ½ - 15years old ) meet on Tuesday evenings and Cubs (7 ½ - 101/2 years old) meet on Thursday evenings.

you have sown. Dig them in before they get too woody. Turning the soil now and exposing it to the frost will help break it down for planting in August.

• Start sprouting (or chitting – I believe this is the term) your potatoes in trays in the shed. They should be ready to plant in 6-8 weeks or so.

• You can start planting out seedlings of most brassicas, broccoli, winter lettuce (my cos lettuce has come through the frosts really well), spinach, silverbeet and spring onions.

• Make sure you rake out all old leaves from under your fruit trees, and shrubs etc. Woolly aphid and other sap suckers love to over-winter under leaves and can survive very cold weather if covered with a nice warm layer of garden debris.

• Start planting gladioli now – they take about 3 months to flower so you can stagger the plantings to have flowers for a longer period.

• Finish pruning apples, pears and plums and give all your fruit trees a copper spray.

You can mix copper with a spraying oil, Neem or Conqueror oil, but if spraying lime sulphur do not mix with anything else • Water indoor plants sparingly over winter. Wait until the mix is quite dry to the touch and then do not let them sit in water for too long.

• Give all shrubs a general fertiliser application especially if they are being covered with mulch. Seasol is great to use as a foliar spray to strengthen evergreen plants and help them through the frostiest parts of the season.

That’s about all for now – stay warm – we live in the best place in New Zealand – just look at that clear blue sky.

OPEN DAY SATURDAY 21 JULY 10AM

Like many Nelson institutions the Nelson Underwater Club Inc. can be proud of being one of the oldest (and still largest) clubs in its league within New Zealand. Formed in 1952, in response to a need to aid the police in incidents requiring diving expertise, the Nelson Underwater Club remains active and engaged in various diving activities today.

The founding members built their own clubrooms, with a fair bit of the fundraising coming from crayfish raffles in the local pubs. Today much of the running of the club is selffunded, including regular subsidised dive trips.

Nowadays the club has a far more conservationist outlook, with photography and educational programmess to the forefront of its activities, though the hunting and gathering aspect of seafood is still alive and thriving.

Looking forward to protecting our underwater environments for the sake of future generations, along with learning from the mistakes made elsewhere, the Nelson Underwater Club prides itself on promoting education and conservation issues.

However, the main aim of the club is to get people involved in underwater activities. Several members of the club are qualified dive instructors and divemasters and club trips focus on combining safe diving with interesting dive sites. These trips are a perfect venue for providing the newly qualified diver, or someone getting back into diving, with a buddy environment in safe conditions. If you don’t have all your own gear, Nelson Underwater Club has gear for hire.

Our region offers a diverse range of diving opportunities, including some of the oldest and

youngest marine reserves within NZ - Tonga Island and Nelson’s own Horoirangi Reserve off the Glenduan. Not enough can be said about the success of the Horoirangi Reserve, from being pillaged to near nothing it is growing daily.

Today it can yield some awesome dive experiences and is a real ambassador for the worth of marine reserves. Those who believed a marine reserve couldn’t flourish in such close proximity to Nelson sewer ponds should eat their words. Nelson diving isn’t limited to just our coastal environment, we are also blessed with experiences inland, the lakes, world-renowned resurgences and, up to a few years ago, the unrivalled Pupu Springs.

Over the years various members of the Nelson Underwater Club have influenced the way we handle our marine environments, including Ross MacDonald, a founding member who has been an active diver for the past 60 years and there is little Ross hasn’t seen. Ross was one of the first divers in the Riwaka Resurgence, exploring the dark depths with a candle in a jar and a home made ‘dry’ suit). Last year Ross was deservedly awarded the esteemed Wyland Award – presented to those who have made a difference to New Zealand’s underwater world. At 82 Ross still sneaks in the occasional dive and remains the patron of the Nelson Underwater Club. Local underwater hockey and freediving groups have evolved from initial club projects.

Nelson Underwater Club newest development is Reef Check, establishing an internationally recognized underwater environment monitoring system, firstly monitoring our own Ho-

roirangi Reserve, and then taking it around New Zealand via other dive clubs.

Night of Wrecking 9 packs a punch New Zealand’s hopes of getting another one over the Aussies ended with a punch to the head on Saturday.

WMC South Island Welter Weight champion Leon Tangaroa of Fight Club Nelson was beating Australian opponent Adam King on points when he was struck in the head towards the end of the third round, splitting his scalp open.

Medics and the referee called the fight off as blood poured down his face and was unable to be stopped – an unlucky result for the Nelson fighter currently ranked number two in New Zealand.

The main event was witnessed by around 800 spectators at the Trafalgar Centre – a record crowd for the Night of Wrecking series. This was the ninth instalment of Night of Wrecking and the first to draw an international fighter.

for Night of Wrecking 10 which has been confirmed for the Trafalgar Centre in November.

In other matchups; current F1 champion Rua Druce of MTI Wellington defeated world junior taekwondo gold medallist Hamish Duncan of Blenheim Kickboxing while Luke Graham of Proactive Gym in Christchurch took the WMC New Zealand Title off Fight Club Nelson’s Jahda Wharepapa. It was a tight battle with Jahda unable to continue following some heavy kicks to legs. Sam Speight retained his TBA South Island Welter Weight Title by beating Nik Aretema on Mejiro Gym, Dunedin. Fight eight was the only main event to feature two local fighters, Ritchie Harris of Fight Club and Ginge Moore of Whakatu Boxing Club. Ritchie took the fight

by TKO in the second round.

Swim coach to harness local talent Andy Adair hopes to discover the next Olympic star in Richmond waters.

The experienced swim coach has been named head of the ASB Aquatic and Fitness Centre’s swimming programme following a seven year stint in Dunedin.

Andy was in Nelson last week getting to know his new swimmers and workplace but will officially shift in October.

Andy’s first taste of coaching came about when he moved to Wanaka in 1991. Just 18 months later a new 25 metre covered swimming pool was opened and like many small townships around New Zealand,

parents had to become coaches for their children. “Everybody breathed a sigh of relief once we got the pool but then another group had to come in to do something with it. Because there wasn’t anybody else I got involved in performing a swimming squad,” he says.

Andy spent seven years as an amateur coach in Wanaka along with a physical education teacher, specialising in technique.

There were more than 100 swimmers in the club and in his final year, he led the team to second place in the Otago Championships.

Andy was working for a construction company during his time in Wanaka but began searching for full-time ridget udget answers coaching work outside of the area.

Having obtained his Swim Safe your questions Level 2 qualification just so he Q: I am a single working could get an interview, Andy fiparent of two teenage nally landed the head coaching sons.

 Decide what meals you will cook this week  Make a list and keep to a planned budget  DON’T shop when you are hungry  Get to know food prices so you recognise good value  Buy on special, or bulk buy with friends  Buy basic ingredients, local and seasonal food  Cook larger meals, use leftovers for lunches or freeze  Replace some of the meat in casseroles with beans and lentils  Stock your pantry and freezer with basics: baking goods, tinned tomatoes, dried beans and lentils, tinned fish, frozen vegetables You can eat healthily on a smaller budget.

During Andy’s three and a half year tenor, 214 records were broken. New Zealand age-groups selectors took note and there were a number of swimmers reaching representative squads.

Due to his success, Andy was approached by management in Dunedin to see if he would like to coach up there. He was attracted to the job because the city had a university, which meant he would not lose any swimmers as soon as they left secondary school. “I thought I’d be able to take them to the next level and that’s exactly what happened. We broke six New Zealand age-group records and we broke more than 350 Otago records.”

But now he has his sights set on creating a strong structure at the ASB Aquatic and Fitness Centre. “I have a theory that kids are everywhere, there are Olympic swimmers all over New Zealand, you just have to go there and create the opportunity for them.”

Because Andy is employed by the centre, he does not have any club affiliations and Andy Adair has been named head coach is welcoming new swimmers from all over at the ASB Aquatic and Fitness Centre.

Waimea Old Boys are the champions of women’s from fulltime to give Waimea a five point lead, after rugby for the fourth year running with head coach the scores were locked at 15-15.

A late season surge fell at the final hurdle as Star & Garter Waimea Old Boys gifted Wakatu Marist a 10-3 victory at Jubilee Park on Saturday, ending its playoff hopes in the final round.

A win would have seen Waimea Old Boys go through to the semi-finals, with one of the closest fought competitions in recent memory. But a single try, to Marist winger Connor Trathen, was the difference on the weekend.

Josh Rutledge had initially given Waimea the lead when he kicked the opening points of the match. But that would be the only time Waimea would get its name back on the scoresheet, despite holding the lead until the 55th minute.

Marist’s try left sideline officials puzzled. First

five Jason Merrett’s penalty attempt fractionally missed the posts with Waimea fullback Tom Cross unable to ground the ball, only for Connor to dive on it to score what was to be the match winning try.

The referee judged that Tom had not grounded the ball and awarded the try in favour of last year’s champions.

The semi-finalists are Galbraith Group Nelson, Marist, Accessman Stoke and New World Huia.

That is the end of the road for the Waimea Old Boys division one side, with just teams in Golden Oldies, division two and JAB left. The Waimea Old Boys second division team will face old foes Accessman Stoke at Greenmeadows this Saturday. Kick off is at 1pm..

Thirds reach final, season over for As

The division one season is over for Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers following an agonising 10-10 draw against New World Huia on Saturday.

Needing a win to seal qualification into the semi-finals, Wanderers were left to pay for some unforced errors early in the first half as it slipped to a 7-3 deficit at half time. Jackson Harvey had scored Wanderers’ first points courtesy of a penalty. Huia bounced back into the lead with a penalty to Jesse Rush before Loa Windly scored a second half try for Wanderers. In the pouring rain both sides were unable to break the deadlock.

Wanderers manager Frazer Lochhead was positive when reflecting on the season, despite missing out on a semi final spot by just one point. “I was not disappointed at all, if anything I was proud of a young bunch of lads that conducted themselves throughout the season,” he says. “I thought we had an absolutely excellent season.”

It was the side’s first season back in the Car Company division one competition in three years and after the first round of matches Wanderers had only lost one game, to Galbraith Group Nelson, and

sat in second place on the table. “We were very competitive, we’d have to be extremely happy and I think the community really got behind us which was the pleasing thing. The crowds at the beginning were outstanding and it’s not over yet you still have the div two and div three finals to come.”

In other matches, the Wanderers third division side kept its unbeaten streak alive to pounce into the grand final this Saturday. Wanderers were too strong all over the park and three quick tries in the opening spell seemed to have deflated Tapawera. The eventual scoreline of 32-0 came courtesy of tries to Brett Carter and Nigel Win, both scoring twice, and Hud Davis. Hud also contributed with the boot.

Wanderers will meet Marist in the final at the Brightwater Domain this Saturday. Kick off is at 3pm.

The Wanderers division two side look on track for a home semi-final following an impressive 37-17 win over Stoke in Brightwater. Scott Reed, Darrell Giles, Ethan Reuben, J Marwick and Stace Lines all scored tries while Daniel Cooper kicked eight points.

The two sides were almost unrecognisable after just five minutes of play when the Malbas Bar Wanderers Wolves took on the Stables Richmond Rabbits on Saturday for a place in the grand final.

Played in driving rain and wind it was a game of attrition and dominated by defence as both sides struggled to obtain possession.

Trading early penalties it was 20 minutes before the defence was breached, Callum Smith crossing for the Rabbits to take an 8-2 lead.

Minutes later the Wolves side was awarded a penalty try after captain Lawrie Kirdy was tackled without the ball whilst attempting to re-gather a dropped ball from the rabbits 10 metres out from its line.

The cold must’ve seeped into the players

hands as a dropped ball from the second half kickoff led to a try to Rabbits captain Deon Charles just three tackles later, busting over from dummy half.

The Wolves struck back 10 minutes later, Hayden Smith making what was to be the only genuine line break of the game for halves partner Josh McMillan to setup Joe Collins with a neat pass on the next play.

The successful conversion tied the scores as 12 all.

The Wolves were reduced to 12 men for the remainder of the game for retaliating in a scuffle and the Rabbits took advantage, Lucas Bennett scoring to take the lead again.

In similar fashion to its earlier try, hooker Sunny Morgan slipped over from dummy half to seal the lead 20-12 lead.

The Rabbits will take on the Stoke Cobras at Trafalgar Park this Saturday from 2:30pm.

Vegetation Control – Roadside Spraying in Rural Areas Registration of Non-Spray Areas Tasman District Council’s roading maintenance contractor is responsible for vegetation control within the road reserve. This includes the use of knock-down, residual and brushweed herbicides to remove vegetation growing in the roadway and around street furniture. The contractor is also responsible for control of pest plants and other noxious weeds such as gorse, fennel, hemlock, blackberry, broom, bracken, purple pampas grass and box thorn.

Residents can request that their rural property frontage not be chemically sprayed and instead undertake the vegetation control themselves. On approval Council will mark the no spray area with red marker pegs.

Rural residents who choose the “no spray” option must control the vegetation growth along their property frontage to ensure road users are not impeded and all roadside signs and markers are clearly visible. Vegetation height should not exceed 300mm. Any stormwater drainage ditches need to be kept clear of excess vegetation. At intersections vegetation must be kept well clear to ensure good sight lines for traffic using the intersection.
