Motorists show worst regard at Queen Street intersection The traffic flow turning right from the deviation into lower Queen Street is the worst in Nelson Bays region for pushing its luck with orange and red lights, according to Dave Thompson, acting sergeant in charge of Strategic Traffic Unit.

“We know during busy and peak periods motorists are pushed to get around there but that’s no excuse. We’re watching that intersection with particular interest and we’ve issued a disproportionately

lowed by three more on the red.

Meanwhile Richmond residents noticing an increase in hearing police car sirens in recent months, particularly in the evenings, are not mistaken. One man jokingly said he thought he was living in Chicago.

Sgt. Thompson says police have been instructed by the commissioner to use their lights and sirens in all instances when stopping people who are speeding (go to page 3)

Jack Mitchell, in his 90th year, says, “I can’t blame kids for climbing the stump; I’d have a go myself if I was a bit younger, but I don’t know if I’d trust those nails banged in until they’ve bent over.”

Owner takes steps for safety As shown, vehicles continue to turn right into lower Queen Street on orange and even red lights when approaching straight through and turning-left traffic has right of way

Like Mount Everest, it seems since a party of climbers first ‘knocked off’ the Otterson gum tree stump outside Richmond Park, by nailing a series of wooden steps, every-

Corrections centre opens, community work deferred

Richmond Corrections service centre manager Alex Brown says, “We settled into our new work environment in Richmond (McIndoe Place) without a hitch on Monday. Everything in terms of hardware and software installations is functioning as it should and it’s exciting to be here.”

Alex does advise however that community work sentences for Richmond Waimea offenders, overseen by senior community work supervisor Jeff Holden, will be administered from Nelson in the meantime “because of operational issues.

These will be transferred to Richmond when the New Year commences, to join all other services now running here.”

Steps taken

(from front page) the beckoning steps were nailed on two weeks ago, one group of teenage wags even pulled an old sofa up by rope and relaxed for a short time with a few stubbies of beer before packing up and leaving.

The stump, left after the 158 year-old tree was felled in 2005 for safety reasons, and its surrounding land is owned by Nelson A&P Assn. and manager Liz Harvey is concerned about the risk of injury to those climbing what in reality is a hurriedly jerry-built ladder.

Liz Harvey, Nelson A&P Assn. secretary/manager “Liz says, “I don’t want to spoil anyone’s good clean fun but I don’t want to hear someone has fallen off the stump and broken their leg or neck.”

Accordingly Liz has asked the property caretaker to remove the steps as soon as possible.

A Department of Labour officer in Nelson told Waimea Weekly, “I couldn’t comment on the hypothetical situation of someone falling from the stump and deciding to seek legal advice but my recommendation would be for the owners to either put a fence around the base or erect a sign clearly indicating that it is unlawful to climb on it and trespassers do so at their own risk.”

The officer said hav-

Pictured from left are Sarah Downs (TDC transportation planning officer), Linda McCutcheon and Dave Churcher (PC Systems in Richmond) and Tim Wareing of Village Cycles at breakfast on Go By Bike Day. TDC community recreation manager Mike Tasman-Jones says, “I drive to Richmond from town and there’re definitely more people cycling to work these days.”

Traffic concerns

(from front page) regardless of how minor the offence. “That has been a requirement for some time and that all our officers are complying is probably why residents are aware of any incidents near town.”

The Ruby Bay Bypass opens on Friday and Sgt. Thompson says police expect there will be some speedsters on the new stretch of State Highway 60 between near Mahana and Mariri.

“The bypass does lend itself to going fast but the speed limits still applies and we’ll be keeping a close eye on traffic, certainly in the early stages,” he says.

During Labour Weekend traffic police in Tasman region will exercise a four km/hr tolerance for all speed limits, but those driving in excess should expect to be stopped and ticketed.

Sgt. Thompson says other than disregard for traffic lights and excess speed the other significant area of particular concern

in Tasman district is improper use of seat belts, particularly among women drivers and passengers.

“We’ve noticed and stopped quite a few (women) who pull the belt slack and tuck it under their door-side arm which makes it useless as a safety device. It’s ineffective unless used as it is supposed to be worn, over the shoulder. I presume it’s a comfort thing but that’s no excuse and safety shouldn’t be compromised for the sake of comfort,” says Sgt. Thompson.

Maintenance ‘catch-up’ causes spurt in water rates A 25% increase in the metered water rates of domestic consumers in Tasman district has been described as “another straw which is slowly breaking our backs” by a Richmond senior citizen.

“It might not seem much but $100 here and a few dollars there each year adds up and takes away from any disposable income we might be able to save or spend; and affects our quality of life,” says the man who didn’t want to be identified at the risk of “being seen to be a geriatric whinger.”

He said he didn’t mind paying his way but wondered if a 25% price hike might be more than just keeping up with inflation and growth in the district.

“I wonder if council is pumping up the rates to consumers so they can sell the (water) schemes off later to a private enterprise for a better price.”

But Tasman District Council utilities asset engineer Kim Arnold says such suspicion and suggestion is nonsense on several counts.

“For a start we (council) aren’t allowed to make a profit and secondly government statutes say we can’t divest or sell off water schemes. The old Health Act dating back to 1956 insists local authorities are responsible for managing and improving water schemes and the significant increase in (water) rates this year is in keeping with our responsibility to maintain and upgrade a huge amount of plant and equipment and to improve water quality to comply with increasingly stringent central government standards.”

He says the Drinking Water Act means increased costs in treatment and quality control which is “a constant job and very expensive to monitor.”

Council has to pay for the upkeep and extension as required of 16 schemes throughout the district involving 40 reservoirs, 35 pumping stations, 660 kms of pipeline and 10,000 individual water meters.

Kim says those water meters were installed in 1995 with an expected life span of about seven or eight years’ reliability “so we’ve had a good run out of them but they’re now long overdue for replacement and at $500 a pop that’s a $5m project we’re starting to work on.”

Kim says that Richmond residents are supplied from a scheme which is part of a group of water schemes and as such they contribute as rate payers to capital and maintenance costs of water schemes in some rural areas of Tasman.

“We’re playing a bit of catch-up this year with regard to upgrading our systems so that accounts for much of the increase (in water rates). All our expenditure is carefully budgeted in advance, and then very stringently audited, so what users pay in rates is what is actually needed to provide them with a reliable and good quality water supply; not a cent more,” says Rex Waters, resident in Waimea Village, says “I use a lot of water so the increase in rates does concern me.”

Over the past eight weeks, students of Waimea College based Job Track have been working on a ‘Pride of Place’ Graffiti Vandalism Prevention Project to raise the awareness of respecting the places we live in and represent.

Working under the guidance and support of accomplished local artist Larisse Hall, the students have collectively designed and created a mural, capturing the essence of what it means to them being young and growing up in the Tasman District.

The mural masterpiece is now proudly displayed on the Salisbury Road bus shel-

fiti. There are forms of grafitti which are offensive and forms which aren’t and there are places to do it and places not to. We went around town asking people what they thought about graffiti and there were lots of opinions but a lot of negative feelings because of the connection between a lot of graffiti and gangs. Graffiti has its place in town,” he says.

Several other community groups are currently putting the finishing touches on more murals, and once completed, these will begin to pop up in public spaces in the Richmond.

Wear & Tear Fashion entries close soon

Richmond historian Peter Kearns continues his fascinating series of articles on our local history Archie’s Dam, in “them thar hills”.

In above the foothills above the top end of Hart’s Road is a dam built by Archie Hart in the days of the early settlers it was for the use on the Hart farm for both domestic and stock water.

It was situated in behind number 435 Hill Street.

It is currently silted up but the evidence of a concrete dam structure is still most apparent, built of a 150mm concrete pad and with a drop of some three metres.

I have discovered this historic site during one of my frequent walks into the foothills of Richmond along those many tracks that have been “nurtured” by those volunteers who are doing a tremendous job by giving

so generously of their time so as that we can so handy to our township “walk into the hills” and enjoy some very attractively pieces of bush including meandering creeks.

The plaque on the dam reads: “This is the site of Archie Hart’s dam which was built to provide household and stock water.

The art family farmed this area from the early settler days and lived in a house on 435 Hill St. The pond is silted up today and it needed regular cleaning out when it was in use.

The dam fills a natural rock waterfall gully. The total drop is about three metres.”

Anyone knowing more history, date built etc, should Hart’s Dam is well worth the hike into the Richmond foothills phone Peter on 544 5337.

Nelson A&P Association, in conjunction with Richmond Mall, will run the inaugural Rural Wear & Tear Competition at the A&P Show on November 20-21.

The competition is for a wearable ‘work of art’ including accessories (hat, handbag, earrings, footwear etc) created from materials and items of an agricultural nature found on a farm. These include such items as shade cloth, copper, grain, electric fence tape, beer bottle tops etc.

The variety of materials that can be used in the making of something artistic is almost endless.

A&P Assn. committee member Judene Edgar says, “It’s amazing what you can make out of just a few different items.

I went to a friend’s farm and scrounged around in their shed and brought home a large bag of likely materials for a wear and tear entry for the show.”

The competition is open to everyone.

There are two sections, Open and Junior (under 16 years).

Special conditions for entry apply which are listed on the entry form available from A&P association’s official website www.thenelsonshow.org. nz Great prizes are up for grabs so get in before closing date, October 29.

Rotary select overseas exchange student Ever since hearing former Waimea College teacher and Rotarian Jim Scott describe his son’s exciting year as an overseas exchange student, Richmond teenager Rebekah Hennessy has set her sights on a similar experience.

“After his talk I went with seven other students to find out more which led to a three-and-a-half hour interview in front of the Richmond Rotary Youth Committee,” she says.

Rebekah’s enthusiasm and determination to do all she can to make her dream happen has convinced Rotary to select her as one of five youth it will support in the local Rotary district (South Island, from Ashburton north).

Local businessman and Rotarian Kevin Gear says, “Rebekah is obviously very keen to do an exchange year as I hear she is busy working three jobs around her school studies to get there.”

While the finer points of her exchange are yet to be finalized Rebekah does know she will head to North Rhine, Westphalia (north of Frankfurt) in Germany on January

18 for her next school year.

“I’m going via Disneyland so that’s going to be really exciting, and later on during one of the school breaks I’m going on a three-week Euro tour,” says Rebekah.

Total budget for the exchange is $12,500 and Rebekah is keen to use her singing talents to raise extra funds. “I’ve sung at retirement homes and this has gone down really well with the residents so if anyone wants to hire me for singing, including Christmas carols, to help me on my way I’d really appreciate it,” she says.

from Just a thought: rescued a hole The miracle unfolds as the world watches trapped miners in Chile being rescued after 64 days trapped half a mile down in a gold mine.

The amazing story began back in August when a sudden collapse trapped 33 miners 2000 feet underground.

Fear was that no one could survive and to the surprise of a rescue team when they found a note tied to a drill, the miners were alive. The note read: “Estamos bien en el refugio los 33” (English: “We are well in the shelter, the 33 [of us]”). Word quickly spread they are alive, all 33 were alive and safe in an emergency shelter but trapped so far under ground.

Their amazing rescue was shown live on TVs across the globe, what joy as slowly each miner appeared and was greeted with great cheers.

As I watched the news broadcast I reflected on how would I cope trapped deep down a hole?

How would I react when it was time to be finally rescued, would I be willing to be last out or would I want to push someone aside to be first?

I also wondered the thoughts of the rescue team having worked around the clock for weeks in a rescue effect they didn’t even know if it would work, but well done to those who assisted in seeing these men rescued.

Although it is likely that none of us will have to endure what these miners have had to, hopefully nothing even close, but possibly there can be times that we

Steve Rollo Minister Richmond Church of Christ can feel like we are trapped in a hole and feel there is no way out.

Unfortunately there can be times we make mistakes and create our own problems and other times just like the mine disaster, we find our selves in difficulty through situations caused outside our control.

If you ever have the feeling that you are stuck in a hole, don’t give up as there are those who want to be there to rescue you.

As a Christian I have learnt that my Lord who came from heaven to rescue me is always there and when I need help he already knows, He is just waiting for me to ask for help.

So often when we find ourselves in a hole, someone is willing to rescue, so just ask.

Rhythmic Samba de Sol will shake up Pak ‘n’ Save Richmond Santa Parade A new community band is making a big impression after hitting the streets of Nelson.

It is Samba de Sol and the Brazilian rhythms they bring sing of summer festival fun.

The group took out the Best Community Band award at the 2010 Masked Parade and they made such a big impression on specators they not surprisingly have been snapped up to play as part of this year’s Richmond PAK ‘n SAVE Santa Parade.

The group are set to put on their Fairytale Christmas Samba shoes and will march along with the parade and then entertain the crowd in Sundial Square, before the Best Float prizes are awarded.

Samba is a dance and music form of Brazil.

It has its roots in African music and is very rhythm-orientated.

Awesome Garden Product Bag Deals!

Samba de Sol creators Roger Sanders and Tania Nock say that their band is similar to other community Samba bands in New Zealand in that they offer the opportunity for anyone to be involved, regardless of musical ability.

Arrangements, under the direction of events organiser Lisa Norriss, are progressing well for the Richmond Santa Parade scheduled for Saturday, November 27, with many of the special features following this year’s magical theme, ‘A Fairytale Christmas’.

Tile Direct Design Store opens in Richmond The team at Richmond’s newest Tiling outlet are excited about opening the new ‘Tile Direct Design’ store here in the heart of Richmond and the Tasman district. Business in their Tahunanui store in Quarantine Road has continued to grow and they’ve been looking for the right opportunity to expand their local business by establishing a second outlet. Situated in Queen Street, right next door to Smiths City, and opposite the Mall carpark, it’s a high profile location with a spacious showroom, plenty of parking all around and a rear loading bay allowing for large quantities to be delivered in and out. The store is big enough to hold and display some of the best tile patterns and samples you’ll find anywhere.

The Design store will provide customers with specialist tile advice, colour coordination and design concepts. There is a huge range of tiles displayed in a contemporary gallery style showroom, all at very competitive prices. You’ll find everything from small decorative natural stone mosaics to beautiful 300x900 glazed porcelain wall tiles.

The team of Michelle, Paul and Daryl have one real goal, and that is to get the best tile solution into local homes. ‘We welcome all those people who are building or renovating and considering using tiles to call in to the design store. Bring along your building plans, other flooring samples and wall colours – we’ll work with you to provide the best possible tiling solution for your project. Enjoy the experience of moving tiles from the displays onto purpose built tables where colours and design concepts come together. You can also view photographs of completed concepts on a large screen TV. This allows you to gain a good picture of what your completed project will look like. Our team will leave nothing to chance when it comes to customer satisfaction’.

Check out the great selection of quality tiles in our new Richmond store now

Tiles are sourced from around the world and from quality tile manufacturers in Italy, Spain, China, Indonesia, Australia and India.

A large quantity of stock is held on pallets locally, and being a leading importer of tiles, we have access to huge quantities of imported tiles in our Christchurch warehouse. No matter what size your tiling projects, the Tile Direct team will be able to find the right tile for you, ensuring their customer’s needs are met.

No matter what kind of tiling project you are undertaking, you will find just what you are looking for at Tile Direct in Richmond. Tiles for floors, walls, bathrooms, feature walls, interior, exterior, residential or commercial purposes, they’re all available from Tile Direct.

To keep up with new trends and fashions, tile manufacturers are increasing the module size of floor and wall tiles. Some of the most popular sizes of tiles for floor and walls now are the 600x300mm and 600x600mm modules and of course they can be larger. These larger format tiles require a very good surface preparation to ensure a fine finish, and they are likely to take longer to install than a 300x300mm tile.

Tiles are such an easy care flooring option, and are being used more and more in the residential home, not only in the wet area’s, but also living spaces and food areas, where cleanliness and quick and easy maintenance is essential. There is no room for dust mites to migrate which is

important for our growing number of asthma sufferers, and of course tiles are a natural conductor of the suns energy, so can be used very effectively for more heat efficient homes.

The new store in Queen Street, Richmond Prior to installing bathroom floor tiles, it is always worth considering under tile heating for a luxurious, cozy feeling when entering your bathroom on a cold winter’s morning. Although the initial cost will require a slightly bigger budget, thermostatic controllers ensure your power usage is very efficient.

Heating can be programmed to start and finish at specific times of the day to match the lifestyle of the home owners and runs automatically so there is no need to be constantly monitoring or altering the switches. Under tile heating can also be installed in other floor areas such as kitchens, dining and living areas.

Richmond’s new Tile Direct Display Store don’t just stock the tiles, they have all of the products, tools and accessories that you will need to complete your own tiling project.

• Adhesives • Grouts • Silicons • Finishing trims • Sealers • Under tile heating • DIY instructions • Trade tools • DIY tools Richmond Tile Direct is 100% locally owned and operated, and is backed by nothing but the best experience and knowledge.

Nelson Masters win football golds Nelson sent a women’s football team, including a large number of Richmond Waimea based players, to the South Island Masters Games in Timaru.

The girls gelled well as a team and performed awesomely in their seven games over the weekend.

Eight women’s teams competed this year meaning some pretty tough competition.

In all kinds of weather throughout the 7-a-side tournament there were still plenty of great quality goals scored, and Nelson played consistently well to come home with the gold medal.

The Nelson women scored 30 goals for and incredibly only had one scored against; the goalie did a fantastic job.

Most of the girls were injury

free which was a remarkable effort, however everyone was sore and tired for several days after.

As the men, also made up of several Richmond players, won gold as well, it was a great result for Nelson football and all are up for the next Masters challenge which will be held at Saxton Field during Labour Weekend of 2011.

Pictured above: Nelsom Masters men (Stu Reid & Matt Watson centre front) and women players celebrate their gold medal winning efforts

Business update Put Your Best Foot Forward This Spring!

If you suffer from cracked heels, corns, ingrown toenails, calluses or dead skin – it’s nice to know that there is someone who can take care of them all. Eniko (Anni) Fekete is a European Chiropodist and Beautician, trained in Budapest and with 17 years experience. Anni can have your feet looking and feeling great. ‘Cracked heels, corns and ingrown toenails can look unsightly and cause considerable pain, and if not treated, can sometimes lead to infection. ‘I specialise in relieving the painful symptoms, treat the underlying problems and make your feet look great, ready for those summer sandals,’ Anni Eniko Fekete promises Anni. ‘I use a warm foot bath and specialised products that will make your treatments less like a clinical procedure and more like a pampering session. I concentrate on callus and dead skin removal until the soles of your feet are entirely smooth, corn and ingrown nail removal, nail and cuticle care, followed by massage and topped off with your favourite nail colour.’

Reflexology is another area Anni is passionate about. This treatment works on the whole body so that all of the interrelated parts function together in harmony. In particular reflexology can help with concentration, lower back pain, bowel disorders, digestive difficulties, sore throats, help boost self confidence, help you breathe easier, increases heart and liver function and can improve fertility. Anni offers all of the treatments you would expect from a beautician – facials, waxing, eyelash tints, manicures and pedicures.

Particularly popular is the Galvanic non-surgical face-lift. It helps to lift, tone and firm ageing facial tissue with low frequency settings to allow stimulation of the epidermis, improving the appearance, condition and texture of the skin. Anni operates from Fitness Zone in McIndoe Place, Richmond.

Call her to arrange a consultation and take advantage of her spring specials.

An update on what is happening in our Community have you noticed our hanging baskets are back at the shopping centre? Thanks to Sally for organising those, they look great. We are also hoping to have some lights in the village green for Christmas time. We are in the process of applying for funding to paint a mural on the huge concrete wall that looks on to the Kindergarten, and we are hoping to have local artists, children and college students who would like to be involved, help us out with this. We are applying to TDC for funding and hope

we can get this completed over the summer.

We are also hoping that the BMX track will be upgraded, thanks to Rua Sargent who talked to some children and parents to find out what they all wanted it to look like.

There is a plan, now we have to take the next step and talk to the council.

Finally, if you have any community notices to be put in our newsletter just email Dorothy (rogers@ts.co.nz) or Debbie (grantanddebbie@kinect.co.nz) and we will make sure that happens.

Good start to Speedway – Russ family dominant

By Wayne Martin The opening meeting of the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Speedway had all the action that our devoted fans have come to expect from our competitors.

In production saloons Kirsty Russ took her first win while Isaac Russ took the two others victories.

Other top performers in the grade were Dave Leitch and Steve Watson.

The top locals in the Superstock field were Brett Nicholls with a good win and Shane Harwood with a couple of second places.

Young Dale McKenzie will be one to keep a close eye on judging by some of his lap times.

Although the numbers in the TQ Midget class were down it was the grade that gave the crowd the biggest ‘edge of their seats’ moments of the meeting.

New driver to the class Glenn Milham was probably hoping he would be remembered on his opening night for anything but the big crash he suffered during the first race. He was looking like a real contender in the TQ class this season so hopefully he bounces back quickly. Paul Russ took the opening win in his quick TQ before having to retire for the next two races.

There are a few new cars and drivers to the streetstocks class. One of these, Mike Arnold, took a well conducted drive to win in the second race of the night.

Simon Bland made the trip up from Christchurch and spent no time showing the good crowd his intentions by really mixing it up and thrilling the crowd with sparks flying. Other wins went to Tim Jimmink and the ever improving Ryan Musgrove. There is talk amongst these drivers of a Holden Vs Ford teams race one night coming up so we will let you know when that is about to happen.

The Youth Ministocks once again

have turned up in good numbers.

Not to be upstaged by his older brother in the Superstock, Ryan Mckenzie is showing that he has what it takes. Levi Collier, Steve Soper and Royden Winstanley were all strong performers.

The Sidecar class is heating up and dominance that was shown by a couple of these pairings last season is starting to dissipate. With the NZ Champs here later in the year and the chance for these guys to gain the bragging rights at this championship is going to make for some top class racing as the season wears on.

Dallas Kelman and Adie Drake would have their noses in front at this stage after picking up two wins on Saturday night while the pairing of Daniel Satherley and Tony Mckenzie secured the other win for the night. Don’t discount Nathan (Nippy) Ching and Brad Kirk from being somewhere near the sharp end of the field either this season.

In the Stockcars class a lot of new machines and new drivers made for a good field with plenty of action. Shane Harwood made up for not being able to score an ace in the Superstock by winning two races in his Stockcar.

Along with the new car of Cody Teece, who managed to win the last race, both these cars look to have the goods straight out of the box.

Another to impress was Rex (Pumpkin) Collier in his tank.

Caleb Russ was another mixing it up as well and also showed some good pace. Some of the new drivers are impressing as well. Ben Taylor has been on the pace since the word go while Justin Hearne, Wayne Krammer and Chris Allen are newbies to impress.

The next meeting is the Coca Cola fireworks night on October 30 while the support promotions will be TQ Club Champs Round 1, Superstock Club Champs, Mark Thorn Memorial.

Ruby Bay Bypass is opening early

It is only two years since the first sod was turned on the Ruby Bay Bypass project, but the team have worked exceptionally hard and, despite the weather being challenging at times, the new bypass is opening this week – considerably earlier than scheduled.

NEW BYPASS - THE COASTAL HIGHWAY

HARLEY ROAD

As with any new road it will take a while for everyone to get used to the new layout – so leave a little extra time and take care as you travel along the new route.

FUTURE CYCLE/WALKWAYS

UNDERPASS

When the bypass opens the new road will become State Highway 60 (SH60) with the existing SH60 becoming the Ruby Coast Scenic Drive.

WILLIAMS ROAD

SH60 (The Coatal Highway)

EXISTING SH60 (Ruby Coast Scenic Drive)

DICKER ROAD

The new road has a chipseal surface which needs to cure for 12 months, so the team will be back next year to lay another layer of seal to further waterproof the road. The next resurfacing will then be in about 8-10 years time. The team will be back next year to complete the final areas of landscaping too.

The new highway will be a ‘limited access road’ restricting the future development of private access or driveways onto the highway and thereby considerably improving safety over the existing coastal route which currently sees more than 7,000 vehicle movements each day.

TASMAN

Although the new bypass will be open to traffic, the team still need to finish off some construction work around the road tie-ins at either end of the new road, as well as a few finishing touches elsewhere along the new highway, before the project is complete. This means there will still be some temporary speed restrictions in certain areas.
