Charity scam rips off locals Page 4
Not one dollar donated by locals to a man collecting for bowel cancer research is expected to make its way to the intended cause, but to an alleged Australian charity scam instead. The Cancer Research Charitable Trust is currently collecting in Nelson and Tasman, its financial records show it raised a little over $111,000 for the year ending 2011 and spent it all on wages and expenses with not one dollar being donated to a single charity. The trust is registered with the Charities Commission but an 0800 number on its invoices does not exist, nor does its website. The listed officer of the charity, Troy Manhire, has been the target of police investigations in Australia and is currently under investigation by the Department of Internal Affairs here. Door-knockers for the trust earn up to 40 per cent of the money they collect, a practice deemed to be “unprofessional” by the Fundraising

In 2009 Mr Manhire was investigated for fraud in South Australia after he pocketed a salary topping $500,000. The licence of his Cancer and Bowel Research Association – and the four trusts it worked with in that state – was stripped and only reinstated two years later and under the strict condition that Mr Manhire was not involved in its management “in any way”, according to a statement by the Office of the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner in South Australia.

‘Drought breaker’ Phillip Rollo
Tasman District Council’s dry weather taskforce convenor Dennis Bush-King says the second round of rain on Monday evening and night was sufficient enough to boost river levels. “The rain is welcome but I still encourage people to conserve water and use it wisely. There are still growers out there who still need to use water, but hopefully this rain event will be seen as a drought breaker” Seeing an overflowing water gauge was a welcome sign on Tuesday morning for Wakefield
The first substantial rain in more than a month has saved the region from a drought. Over the past 30 days Richmond has received just 60mm of rain with 59mm of that landing since Sunday while other areas such as Brightwater and Wakefield received more than 70mm during the same period. That means all rural and urban areas except for the Moutere Western and Eastern groundwater zones have had its water restrictions lifted for at least the next two weeks.

Charity rips off donors FROM PAGE 1
Mr Manhire was the CEO and chairman of that association but now bases his operation from the Gold Coast and is still allowed to operate in other Australian states and New Zealand. The other officer for his New Zealand trust is a company owned by Mr Manhire’s wife. The Cancer Research Charitable Trust is still advertising for collectors in the Auckland area and its coordinator, Neil Armstrong, says collectors earn 25 per cent of what they raise if it’s under $500 for the week but they can earn 40 per cent of all the money they collect, if donations for the week are more than $1200. Karen Ward, the general manager for
the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association, says the trust is not registered with it and their tactics break fundraising regulations and are “disturbing”. “Never should a door-to-door collector ask for cash for one, they should also wear branded clothing and a name badge.” The man currently operating in Nelson told the Waimea Weekly he’s based in Australia but flies to the South Island each year and collects in its major centres, as well as Wellington. He says all the money that is leftover after “expenses” is given to New Zealand charities. A further look at its financial records, listed on the Charity Commission website, shows its last donation to any charity was for $20,472 in the year end-
ing 2010. That year the trust collected $239,055 from Kiwis. The year before it raised $343,599 and didn’t make one donation, meaning that in its last three annual financial statements the trust collected a total of $694,449 and only donated $20,472, according to those figures. Local fundraising expert and member of FINZ, Judene Edgar, says that the charitable sector is open to rort as it is relying on the good nature and generosity of people. “What this sort of shameful scam does is make people distrust reputable charities and genuine people and worthwhile causes can miss out as a consequence. If you are at all suspicious or have not heard of a charity before, don’t donate,” she warns.

Novopay nightmare increases workload The Henley School payroll that usually takes one afternoon each fortnight to complete is now taking three full days each week and the school’s office manager is over it. Tracey Aindow is the sole person dealing with the Novopay stuff ups at the school and says the problems caused by the controversial payroll system are getting worse. The problems date all the way back to August when it first came in, she says. Since then more than 70 per cent of Henley School staff have been overpaid, underpaid or not paid had all. Tracey has even had to come in over the school holidays to help solve the issues and has done overtime just because of Novopay. “I knew we’d have settling in problems but there were so many that I was pretty concerned,” she says. “I just thought they’d be sorted by now and it’s not. It’s actually worse. On top of all of the other things you have to do it’s just horrendous.” Tracey cited a lack of communication from the Ministry of Education saying some problems have gone on unsolved. “While we haven’t had major

problems compared to other schools that have had teachers gone unpaid all year, we’ve had a lot of minor problems and it’s so time consuming and that’s what is stressing everyone out.” Having heard of staff around the country leaving their jobs because of the increased stress, Tracey says it is something she would consider if the problems were to go on for another few years. “I would give it serious thought. I just don’t know how
long you can carry on.” There is a trail of payroll problems dating all the way back to the end of last year when Novopay first came in. Tracey is bemused as to why the previous system Datacom was ever ditched in the first place and says if the issues are still occurring in six month’s time then the obvious solution is a revert. “Talent2 sold the same package to Queensland Health and it’s now two and half years later and it’s still not right. What the hell was New Zealand doing buying a program that was already going majorly wrong?”

Record mud bath Morning rain was the perfect ingredient for a record breaking Muddy Buddy, with 1400 people running through Tasman School and the local estuary completely covered in muck. The annual event, first thought of by Jodie and Nathan Fa’avae, is the major fundraiser for Tasman School and this year it coincided with the school’s centenary. Principal Pip Wells says this was the first time it had rained during the race and while it dampened
the competitors, it certainly didn’t dampen their spirits. “The rain wasn’t unpleasant, it was still warm so it worked well,” she says. “It was a hugely successful event with 1400 contestants and over 700 of those had pre-registered. We only had a 1000 people last year so it’s majorly up on that.” Pip says the school worked alongside the Department of Conservation and the Tasman District Council to ensure protection of the estuary.

Final touches put on street party The final touches are going on the Sprig & Fern Summer Fare, just days before the successful street party returns to Richmond’s Sundial Square. Those supporting, organising and performing at Friday’s event are ready to celebrate the conclusion of summer with one last get together featuring live music, a wide variety of gourmet food and beverage stalls and children’s entertainment. Sprig & Fern co-owner Tracey Banner, who has held the naming rights for the Repeat Offenders get in some final practice past few years, says she is happy to conbefore this Friday’s Sprig & Fern Summer tinue supporting the event because of its success. “We’re a Nelson brewery but Fare.

more importantly we’re in Richmond and being in Sundial Square it’s just a stone throw away so it’s a great thing to support,” she says. “The entire community really supports it; they may have not seen each other for 12 months so it’s always a good chance to catch up, have a beer and a bit of a dance.” A heavy rock covers band has been booked for live entertainment and its lead singer says the Summer Fare will be its biggest show to date. Sam Wilson of Repeat Offenders described it as “our Wembley” and says the band was really looking forward to performing at such a
successful event, and one they can bring their kids along to. “Yes there is booze there, but it’s an all-ages family atmosphere.” Repeat Offenders is likely to tone down their style in the first half of the evening before “letting go” in the second. “We’ll wind it up as the night goes. We’re just a good showy band that picks a bunch of good songs and we’re there to have a high energy night.” The Sprig & Fern Summer Fare is organised by Richmond Unlimited and runs from 5:30pm until 10pm.

Trolley derby a winner again Sinead Ogilvie
You won’t find a better example of classic kiwi ingenuity than at the trolley derby and spectators who packed out Nelson’s Collingwood St weren’t disappointed, with everything from golf carts to bikes and even prams whizzing past them at high speeds. The annual Robertson’s Trolley Derby attracted more than 2500 people who wanted to be a part of what has quickly become a world famous in New Zeland event. President of the Nelson Trolley Club, Tim Bayley says the event ran
Reporter
reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz very smoothly and he was pleased with its success. “It was fabulous and I want to say thanks to everyone for such a great day, in particular the residents of Collingwood St, they are amazing for letting us use their street.” With 80 entries into the zoomers, sprinters, nippers and rockets categories, the event was almost at full capacity, with keen racers turning
out to take a chance at a top spot after a year of preparation says Tim. “Some people spend a year working on their trolleys getting ready for the derby. In the weeks leading up to race day recycle centres are bare, picked over for bike tyres, wheels or anything that is round and moves.” It’s not just about hurtling down a hill at high speed either. Jason Kroupa says after watching the Kiwi Flyer movie three weeks ago he brought his family down to watch the antics unfold. “It’s been fantastic to watch, we’ve had a great time.”

The charity behind the Walk for Water fundraiser say support has been high ahead of this Sunday’s event. Water for Prosperity, a charity set up by Gideon Matorino and Matt McDowell to raise money to install bores in an African township that has had no running water for the past four years, has organised a 15 kilometre walk challenge along the new Great Taste Cycle Trail segment through Rabbit Island. Matt says the charity has already received more than
$2000 in donations, which highlights its strong support. Participants are required to meet at the ASB Aquatic Centre in Richmond at 8:30am ready for a 9am start. People can walk, bike or run and there are free return buses supplied by Nelson Coachlines, departing Rabbit Island from 12pm onwards. There will be toilets and refreshments on the way and entertainment is provided at the finish. Visit www.waterforpros perity.org for more info.

Thanks from guides: Just a note to thank your photographer Phillip Rollo for coming and taking pictures of our Guide Thinking Day Weekend in Wakefield. Many thanks again we really appreciated his efforts. Sue Burrowes, DC Twin Peaks Rural Guiding District.
Novopay is a shambles. Carmyn Hunt.
How did you find the Muddy Buddy? It was a blast. Kerri Pierre LeCheminant.
Orca swimmer: Gosh, did the whales mind? If he was any threat he would have got attacked from the mother but obviously they didn’t mind! If I could swim confediently in the sea it would be amazing and as he said ‘scary exciting etc...’ I think its great a young lad is getting his kicks out of enjoying nature rather than being a real criminal hurting people or stealing etc. So mixed feelings here, understand we have to protect our whales, but hey he was having a whale of a time. Helen (via waimeaweekly.co.nz).
It was fantastic - haven’t missed a year yet! Judene Edgar. Was a blast, be back in ’14. Dean Russell. Teachers protest Novopay: My mother only just got paid for the first time for the year today. Samantha Gentry. I think it’s pretty rude how Talent2 are going to be sending in the debt collecters to recover the money from teachers/support staff who have been overpaid, yet teachers/support staff are unable to do anything about not being paid. Mel Ricketts. I don’t know how I would manage if I was in their situation, it’s not fair on them, the school, and the students.
They should all refuse to work. Bet they’d fix it real quick. Angel Sinn. Shoe repairer to retire: No, now where will we get our shoes fixed? Kelly Oakly.
David Hill is leaving the Richmond Mall, have you enjoyed shopping there, or do you still prefer Nelson’s CBD? Richmond Mall... if it had the Warehouse I wouldn’t ever need to shop in town at all!! Rachel Thompson. David is a very good manager and Tauranga is lucky to get him. The mall is convenient and has some good entertainment for school holidays and other

occasions. Wishing David all the best for his new job and future. Janice Mortensen. CBD, but the mall is looking good. Aquistions, love that shop!! Louise Armstrong. Drinking and driving law won’t change: This should never have been publicised as I’m sure most people, like me, would’ve thought it was illegal. Be best if most people do still think that! Tania Brunell. Are you happy about the rain? So stoked to finally see some rain. The sports fields are like concrete. (Via text). I have been loving the sunshine, but my garden will welcome the rain. Vibeke Friis. Love the sun, but we desperately need rain... bring it! Bridget Hobden. Silly question, been enjoying the sun of course but fire danger as it is how could rain not be welcome? Jacqueline Gibson.

Gr wing Things
With Robyn Hollis
By the time you read this we will have been away for a week or so for a well-deserved break. Heading off in a campervan to the Wild Food Festival and then to parts unknown – just as the mood takes us. Every year the Herb Society of NZ chooses a list of 3-4 herbs to study and the top herb becomes a subject of an International paper. The herb awareness week this year runs from 4-10 March so will be over by now but it is interesting that the awardwinning herb for this year is the elderberry or elderflower (sambuccus nigra). This is
having a resurgence in popularity in our region with beautiful elderflower cordial being made and sold in Nelson as well as the use of this herb in the brewing of cider. Cider is becoming a very popular beverage and while at the Sarau festival a few weeks back I tasted some really delightful cider using elderflower with the cider apples – truly delicious with a smooth slightly dry finish. Another herb that made the list I am not so sure about in this region. It was the hawthorn (Crataegus ssp). These are really pretty trees with lovely blossoms and ‘pauls scarlett’ and ‘plena’ have been sold in garden centres for some years. However, the hawthorns that were put in by X-Factor – if you are looking for that special our forebears as hedging for rutouch on your summer renovations, the name ral properties have all but been says it all. The experienced team provide everything you need to get started on your fair weather project, big or small. X-Factor are the professionals at restoring older houses to their original glory or renovating your home. If you have a complete remodel in mind or a small project that needs an expert, X-Factor are the team you can turn to for a creative and tailored solution. X-Factor can help with complete overhauls, from changing the whole layout of your house to complete extensions, or rejuvenating your outdoor area for entertaining. Let owner Miles Anderson and his team of experts work wonders on creating a great space for you to call home for all seasons to come. Call Miles, a fully certified building practitioner on 03 5419291or 0274612199.
Add the X-Factor
eradicated from the Nelson area for a very good reason. The disease called fire blight, which I am sure you will have heard of, can affect hawthorns. Although this does not cause much harm to them, the infection spreads to apples, pears and nashi and has been a major problem in our orchards, seriously affecting our export crops. Living in a fruit growing region such as ours I could not recommend the planting of hawthorns, no matter how pretty they are and I was interested that it has become one of the top herbs listed in NZ for 2013.
Tips
Thisks wee
• Powdery mildew is common in fruit trees at this time of year – a spray made up of 1 tsp baking soda and 1 ml of dishwash-
ing liquid mixed in 1 litre of water should work. The addition of some seaweed or fish emulsion is meant to increase it’s effectiveness. Spray weekly for best results. • Give citrus trees and good feed nowBurnetts make an excellent long term food for citrus – or use a side dressing of potash and blood and bone topped with a mulch containing sheep pellets. • Tidy and divide herbs now – store excess in oil or dry by hanging in paper bags in a dark place to use in the winter. • Ready your garden for bulb planting – add some compost and bulb food and loosen the ground to let the air in. Get the wood in – keep weeding and mulching and don’t forget to water. Robyn.

run better. Get a hot fire going quickly with plenty of paper and small kindling and make sure you are only burning seasoned and dry wood that contains less than 25% moisture. Burning wet wood is illegal, expensive, bad for your burner, and bad for your health so ask for a moisture meter check when your wood is delivered. Don’t be tempted to burn rubbish, plastics, glossy paper, treated or painted wood as these release toxic chemicals and don’t bank up the fire overnight – a slow smouldering fire creates lots of extra smoke and does not keep the room any warmer than burning the wood efficiently. When it comes to stacking, split your wood first and open stack it in a criss-cross pattern for maximum air circulation. Ventilation and warmth are more important than cover, so cover the top but not the whole pile. Keep seasoned but rain wet wood inside to dry out for a couple of days before burning and remember it’s better to buy more wood than you

Creating Healthier Habitats
Tasman Building Biology Centre Building Biology as a holistic science has been considering, researching and teaching historic and modern building techniques and materials for more than 40 years. Interior designer and building biologist Susanne Brutscher is working in a healthy, green,sustainable and niche market and her services are available to anybody wanting to establish healthier living conditions. The need of ecologically designed homes for human and environmental health is undisputed, however, what about the countless unhealthy buildings which already exist? Unfortunately the average home or workplace often does not pass as a healthy situation for its occupants. A healthy home considers the holistic impact of surrounding space, building materials, interior materials and the living habits and culture of its occupants on

Let’s make every hour Earth Hour the environment. Talk to Susanne Brutscher from the Tasman Building Biology Centre about what she can do for your home or business. Renewable Energy Resources Ltd Renewable Energy Resources Ltd specialise in the sourcing, design, build and installation of solar, wind and hydro power systems for houses, baches, water treatment plants and water pumping servicing the South Island and beyond. Whether you are looking at a stand-alone or grid connect system, micro-hydro, solar, wind or a combination, solar, wind or hydro powered water pumping, Renewable Energy Resources Ltd can help. Owner Andy Williams specialises in not only the design and installation of stand-alone and grid connected power systems but provides sound advice, assisting people in identifying the major areas of their energy consumption, looking at efficiencies on all levels from getting the most out of your new solar system, to recognising the hydro potential for rural properties to start generating power for themselves. If you would like to become more independent from your power company and look at ways to power your home now
and for the future, talk to Andy at Renewable Energy Resources Ltd. Current Generation Going solar – what is the payback? What’s the return on using solar energy to power your home? This is one of the first questions that you ask when considering a gridtie solar system. Solar energy is a source that will supply electricity, long term, with no continuous financial input, no environmental impact and it’s an exciting investment! A grid-tie solar system offers immediate savings on your electricity bill, a capital value increase on your property and the benefits of creating your own power for your own home in the face of the constant rise of energy costs. During the day, when your gridtie system is creating power, you use free power, saving what you would have normally paid to your power company and reducing your electricity bill. Any extra power you make above what you use is bought back by your electricity provider. To give you an idea on what you could save for a 3.2 kW grid-tie solar system, installed, currently costs from $11,000 and will produce, around 4,256 kWh of elec-

Welcome to our March Newsletter, Hope you are all coping with the wonderful summer weather that seems to go on and on. Everything is very dry underfoot and it looks like it may be that way for the next little while. Our meeting this month started with a visit from Rose Biss, a Policy Planner from the Tasman District Council along with engineer Glenn Stevens.
They came to update us on the progress of the Strategic Review and in particular flood modelling which consultants from Wellington have been working on since August 2012. When they have the results a public meeting will be held, key land owners will be invited, and everyone will be able to attend with any issues they may want discussed. Also at our meeting we had Beryl Wilkes from the Parks and Reserves Department of TDC at our invitation to begin talks about the Village Green now that the Council has bought the piece of land on the corner

of Ellis and Starveall Streets. We need to decide what we want our Village Green to look like. What do we want it to be? We will be asking the community soon for ideas – so if you have any ideas at all on what you would like to see on the village green please let us know. Recently the lock on the Notice Board by the Four Square was broken and we have now had this repaired, thanks to Debbie for taking care of this. So if you have a notice a key is available from Scissor Art. Those were the main matters discussed at the meeting, our next meeting will be a public meeting with members of the TDC in attendance, to be held at Brightwater School Hall, Tuesday 2 April at 7.30pm.

The programme for the Saturday was open to public attendance from 10am – 3.30pm with many presentations and displays. The local museum also presented a talk and display on the famous “local” photographer and founder of Nelson’s Coney Amusement Park, Mr Frederick Nelson Jones.

As I have got older I have learnt that to keep the energy levels up requires constant attention, it’s called exercise. Brightwater Community Anglican Church has a person whose passion is to help the seniors in our community enjoy life to its full potential. One of the many things Nicola Berthelsen co ordinates is the Thursday morning low impact exercise activity followed by an opportunity over morning tea to chat and play a game or two of cards or something similar.

He’s just 13 and already Kelling it Every second weekend Trey Kelling tears around the speedway track in his youth ministock, clocking speeds of up to 50kph. But the 13 year old rookie still has to wait another three years before he can Trey Kelling is only 13 years old and has already completed a full season at the Nelson Speedway, legally drive on the road. highlighted by winning youth ministock rookie of the year. Photo: Phillip Rollo. Trey has been involved in six race meetings during his inaugural season after he was encouraged to sign up by his father’s friend – who is none other than three time New Zealand superstock champion Craig Boote. Trey, a former go-kart racer, was attending the speedway with his father Brad, who builds the bodies for Boss Motorsport, when the youth ministocks came out to race. Three days later and there was a newly purchased vehicle in the garage. “Mum wasn’t too happy about that,” says Trey, who was just 12 years old at the time, making him the youngest driver in the field. The first task was simple: learn how to drive. “I was stressing a bit just being able to handle the clutch. The racing part of it wasn’t that bad, it was pretty straight forward. Dad just said stick to the inside and LOCALLY PRODUCED WITH PRIDE stay out of trouble.

can’t drive a car, and sending him out there with a bunch of 16 and 17 year old boys who are pretty mature kids,” he says. “You feel like you’re putting him out there like a lamb to the slaughter.” But last weekend something changed. Brad’s orders weren’t to just go round and round, it was up to Trey to drive how he wanted to drive and he ended up seventh overall on the night, landing him the Rookie of the Year. The 7n driver will stay in youth ministocks for as long as possible before transitioning onto superstocks, following the path of the current 2NZ Dale McKenzie and the current 3NZ Thomas Stanaway. “They spent a lot of time in youth ministocks driving with limited power so once they step up to superstocks with all the power they’re lightning fast. Tom has even offered for Trey to have a test drive in his superstock and the same with Craig.” Next year the family have committed to getting three engines and two chassis built, touring the North Island and potentially adding a second Kelling to the race grid. “His sister wants to race. She’s 11 and will be 12 just two weeks after the season starts so hopefully we can get dispensation.”

Champs not feeling the pressure Phillip Rollo The Richmond Rabbits have had barely any match exposure in the lead up to the first round of the TRL season this weekend, placing a heavier importance on its pre-season training. Despite winning the league in its first year, a number of newcomers have joined the club, meaning basic skills have been a focus for those completely new to the sport. And if there is any pressure on the defending champions, they certainly aren’t feeling it. “If there’s any pressure it isn’t coming from us. We’ve got a new team so we’ve had to work on the fundamentals of rugby league and our fitness,” trainer Ryan Charles says. “We set ourselves realistic goals and we
just want to be competitive again. We still think Stoke [Cobras] are the benchmark.” Around 50 per cent of last year’s squad has returned with some of its founding players retiring and others moving out of the region, but Ryan believes there is still a strong balance of youth and experience amongst the side featuring plenty of Tasman Titans. “The core group that played for the Titans are returning and that includes guys like Cam Salton, Callum Smith, Hoani Takao and Nick Rangi. We think culture is important and we have the right guys in this squad to continue that.” The Tasman Rugby League competition will welcome back the Victory Phoenix Vikings after it pulled out last season. The Rabbits will take on the Tahunanui Tigers in Tahunanui on Saturday from 2:30pm.

Finalists join forces for nationals The Stoke and Waimea Eagles have a different kind of rivalry. Straight after competing against each other in the Nelson Premier Softball grade final, the two sides have merged to contest the New Zealand men’s club championship in Christchurch. For the record Stoke got the upper hand on its inner-club rivals, winning the final 6-5. But injuries – particularly to key pitcher Brandon Peck – and the unavailability of some secondary school players, means it is vital that the club continues to run under its current format, allowing more players to come into contention for out-of-town club tournaments. Derryn French of the Stoke Eagles Club spokesperson Derryn French exbunts the ball during Saturday’s fi- plains that the merger occurred quite nal.

was struggling for numbers. “The main advantage is when we go to club tournaments you’re only allowed a certain amount of players from outside of your club. Coming from Nelson which is a small community it was quite hard to get the quality to be competitive so by combining them gave us a wider pool of players.” With Brandon still unable to pitch due to a shoulder injury and the usual pool of school players unavailable due to another national competition being held, Derryn says the side would have not been able to go to Christchurch this weekend if it could not select players from either team. The Stoke Eagles are ranked 18th going into the national competition, which Derryn described as “a bit harsh”.

Futsal team off to nationals The newly formed Waimea College futsal team will take plenty of confidence into this week’s New Zealand Secondary School Championship after it finishing third in the South Island. Waimea College are the only secondary school futsal team from Nelson and showed it could match it with some of the best schools in the South Island despite the lack of experience, going through the first stages of the Christchurch tournament undefeated until they were
knocked out 2-0 in the semi-finals by eventual winners Lincoln College. Coach Paul Cousins says he was impressed with the team’s performance just two weeks before the national competition. “Hopefully this highlights the need for more competition within Nelson and encourages the other colleges from the Nelson region to get involved,” he says. “The team gained knowledge and experience of playing futsal in a very competitive environ-
Bar owner leads rugby tipping comp Craig Harrington has moved clear in the Waimea Weekly Super Rugby tipping competition despite getting zero right the previous week. The competition includes ten local business people and Waimea Weekly reporter Phillip Rollo, who is struggling near the bottom despite claiming to be a sports reporter. The tipping competition is a new segment in the paper and works by giving each participant a point for every correct head-to-head prediction. Craig, who is on 19 points, says he is doing ten times better than he thought he would, considering he is a self-confessed rugby league fan. “I’d be very surprised if I did win, there’s still a long way to go.”
Tied in second place are councillor Judene Edgar and Richmond Mall manager David Hill on 18 points. Judene, a Waimea Old Boys supporter, says her goal was to not be the worst and so far was exceeding that expectation, while David was surprised to be near the top alongside Judene. “My rugby knowledge is restricted to highlights on the news. Judene is universally seen as the “dark horse” – but we are all convinced her inside knowledge is from some of the rural councillors.” Ellie Evitt of Super Liquor, Kevin Cross of Haven Realty and Tony Crosbie of the Star & Garter were the next highest. Ellie says the Crusaders had let her down in the first few rounds.
ment and that team work is vital to get the best end result.” Paul says players David Maisey and Logan de Joux stood out in Christchurch although the team as a whole “played extremely well” with the end result speaking for itself. He says nationals will be extremely competitive and had a goal of winning 50 per cent of the matches in Wellington. “As long as all the players gave a 100 per cent on the pitch it’s all I can expect.”

Bridget Budget answers your questions
3rd party Insurance Q: We have bought our son a cheap car to use to learn to drive in. We are thinking about not insuring it as it isn’t worth much. What do you think?
A: I think it is very important that you have
at least 3rd party cover for any car you own. This will cover you for damage the car will cause to any property or another car. If you can afford to extend the cover to full insurance or 3rd party, fire and theft, you will be covered for most eventualities. Please make sure your son complies with the conditions of his learners and restricted licences. If he has an accident when breaking these conditions, your car will not be covered by insurance.
