Trinders harvest a world first Page 5

Crossing saga not over yet Phillip Rollo

Wakefield residents are one step closer to finding out whether the New Zealand Transport Agency are prepared to fork out money for a crossing described as “an accident waiting to happen”.

Wakefield residents raised concerns about the current traffic island on Whitby Rd earlier this year, and despite two protests and the closure of a Wakefield School walking school bus in that area of town, all parties involved need to confirm key statistics before any realistic change will be put in stone, says NZTA operations manager for Wellington, Mark Owens.

The major concern is the inability to cross the road during peak traffic times.

Whitby Rd divides the township of Wakefield.

Mark says he is keen to meet with representatives from the Tasman District Council and Wakefield’s residents later in the month to discuss the next step forward, but says it is important that all parties work together.

NZTA had carried out speed surveys on the highway, but is waiting on TDC who have carried out some pedestrian crossing surveys, says Mark.

NZTA will discuss the results later this month before working alongside the TDC’s pedestrian strategy to find a solution.

Mark says safety is paramount but the biggest challenge will be finding the best location for

Engineers ride wave of success

If a tsunami was to ever strike Nelson, three Garin College students would have it all under control – in theory anyway.

Three Garin College students took out the 2011 New Zealand’s Next Top Engineering Science Competition at the University of Auckland last month, beating more than 110 teams from 65 different schools.

The annual competition is a problem solving team event for secondary students, organised by the Department of Engineering Science.

The question for 2011 was how long would be required to evacuate the Te Atatu Peninsula in Auckland if a tsunami occurred.

The boys used the model of a computer program originally designed for evacuating buildings.

After a marathon nine-hour effort team members Benedict Morrissey, Matthew Ruffell and Michael Shanaher were announced the winners of the competition and Pullan Prize.

“After the nine hours we thought we had done well, but with 117 teams [competing] you never think you’re going to win,” says Michael.

The trio received a combined cash prize of $6000 and have the opportunity to work for Fonterra or Orion Health during their university holiday break Michael says he would like to be an engineer in the New Zealand Air Force and will use the money to purchase a new laptop.

Nelson Weekly, sister paper to the Waimea Weekly, has won the Westpac Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Emerging Business of the Year award.

The paper’s owners, two of whom live in Richmond, picked up the prize at a glitzy awards dinner at the Trafalgar Centre last Friday night.

Richmond-based Jennian Holmes also celebrated a successful night with three key awards.

Jennian Holmes Nelson Bays claimed the Westpac Supreme Award, along with the Port Nelson Large Business Award and the Wakatu Incorporation Innovation Award.

While Jennian had won numerous industry awards, managing director Simon Collett says he was “shocked” and “extremely excited” to take home an award recognised outside of the industry. “There have been years and years of a lot of hard work and to be recognised out-

side of the industry is the key thing,” he says.

Nelson Weekly, a locally-owned community newspaper won the emerging business award – ironically sponsored by its major competitor, the Australian-owned Nelson Mail – after just 15 months in business, with judges saying it has a sound business model and industry knowledge.

Nelson Weekly publisher Steve Page says the win was a huge vote of confidence from the independent judges.

“It shows that we are having a huge impact on the media market in Nelson. Advertisers are getting great feedback and that means we are doing our job.”

Steve also paid homage to his staff who he says were the difference between being good and great.

BUILDING TIME: Tasman District Council property manager Jim Frater with Gibbons Construction project manager Richard Mabbott outside the soon to be renovated TDC office building. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Work gets underway on council building Work to extend and strengthen the Tasman District Council offices has started.

Kaumatua Andy Joseph blessed the waharoa outside the building, and the building works earlier in the week, before work got under way.

A fence has been put up around the main entrance to the building and car park, and contractors are now on site.

The works will include strengthening and renovation of the 1962 building which has been identified as requiring major earthquake strengthening. Further work will provide more office space and bring the staff currently spread about in dif-

ferent buildings into one Tasman District Council property manager Jim Frater says the first change the public will notice is the access to the building for the public and the car park.

“We’ve provided pedestrian access via the eastern side of the car park and have asked staff to park elsewhere for the duration of the build to ease congestion,” he says.

The car park is shared with Rob Roy’s Steak House and Goldpine Industries.

The building work is expected to be completed in December 2012.

Mark “Hap” Cameron on top of Mt Kilimanjaro on his 30th birthday last week. Working in Africa was the final challenge of his quest to work on every continent before his 30th birthday.

Eight year world mission complete Andrew Board Standing on the top of Africa’s highest peak last week, Mark “Hap” Cameron sucked in a big breath and smiled, it was over, he had worked the world.

Richmond man Hap Cameron started his working the world quest in 2003. The goal was to work on every continent before his 30th birthday (on 11/11/11).

Along the way Hap’s highlights include earning a black belt in Korea, tutoring a millionaire’s son in Spain, relying on a soup kitchen while homeless in Canada, watching Michael Campbell win the US Golf Open from a nearby tree in the United States, working at an orphanage in South America, in the mines in Western Australia, as a waiter on a five star cruise ship at Antarctica and, of course, being deported from the US. At the start of this year only one continent remained, Africa.

Planning the final leg of his journey took Hap some months; he wanted a big bang to end it all. Cycling across Africa to meet a shipping container of disused Australia bikes and then setting up a bike shop not only gave him meaningful work in Africa, but gave him a big project to finish on top.

Not big enough though.

Hap wanted more and came up with the idea of scaling one of the world’s tallest mountains, Mt Kilimanjaro, and being on

top of it on the day of his 30th birthday.

Last Friday it was mission complete. Hap jokes he has few possessions but a lifetime of memories and now the nomadic former Waimea College head boy will compile those memories for a book that is due for release next year, the rights have already been picked up by Australasia’s largest independent publisher and he is planning on returning home to Nelson this summer to get started on it.

A documentary, following his journey in Africa, has also been filmed with editing to take place this summer.

On Hap’s popular blog he wrote of his climb: “My god it was bloody tough. It was my first birthday where I haven’t had a beer and have been in bed before 7pm,” he joked.

Finishing the eight-year mission is hard to contemplate says Hap. “It’s hard to believe that nearly a decade ago when I first started thinking about travelling the world, and then when I committed to this goal in early 2003, that I would be standing on Mt Kilimanjaro at age 30 having completed it.

“Wow, 2003 seems like such a long time ago. Well I suppose it was. When I stepped onto that plane bound for Korea on April 7, 2003 I had never owned a cell phone and Facebook was just an idea floating around in some soon to be very rich pimply faced teenagers mind.”

Hap says he is looking forward to getting back to Richmond, via Melbourne, and start writing his book.

Trinders harvest a world first

The world’s first purpose-built steepslope logging harvester has already attracted international interest says its manufacturer.

The second prototype of the harvester built by Trinder Engineers was unveiled last week and is expected to extend the boundaries of traditional logging methods, providing a safer and more productive system for logging contractors and forest owners.

The excavator-based harvester is the brainchild of Nigel Kelly of Kelly Logging. Nigel was concerned about the industries poor safety record when manually felling and recovering trees on steep slopes. Nigel worked closely with Trinder Engineers’ managing director Kerry Hill, and projects manager Mark Lindbom to develop an alternative mechanised system, and over the past four years they have built two prototype machines, the latest given public viewing last week.

Previously, excavator-based felling machines and harvesters have been restricted to about 22 degree slopes.

The latest prototype can operate on slopes up to 50 degrees, double the former limit, due to a unique winch system which assists traction when Trinder Engineer staff Tom Tyson, Daryl Colligan, Nathe machine climbs steep slopes. than Clare, and Mark Lindbom with the world’s first ever The harvester weighs 43 tonnes.

Volunteers clean up coast line

A big community effort has cleared 7.5 tonnes of rubbish from Tasman Bay beaches.

Around 540 people took part in the second annual Tasman Bay Big Beach Clean-up held on Saturday. They collected rubbish from 295 kilometres of coast from Abel Tasman National Park to Cable Bay, including an old catamaran.

Waimea Weekly caught up with the ‘Keep Richmond Beautiful’ team as they faced an area on the estuary that required no less than two wheelbarrows to clear. “We probably did about half-a-ton. I think Colin Andrews and Gwen Brooks help to keep Richmond beautiful along the estuary overall people found less rubbish, but from the Beach Road car park spot and beyond.

Ex-Waimea staff welcome to party Ever worked at Waimea College? All former staff of Waimea College are warmly invited to attend a Christmas afternoon tea on Wednesday December 7.

That means anyone from janitors to receptionists, even student teachers, librarians, the list goes on.

Waimea College first opened in 1957 and has seen numerous amounts of staff go through its doors.

Associate principal Graeme Smith says the Christmas afternoon tea has been running biannually for a number of years. He says it usually attracts around 30 former staff each year.

The main reason behind the afternoon tea is making sure all those that have been involved with the school’s history can continue to be a part of its future, says Graeme.

There will be a welcome tour at 2pm followed by the afternoon tea at 3:30pm.

If you are interested or have any questions please phone Tracy on 544 6099 by Monday December 2.

dump site was we had our hands full,” says Colin Andrews.

That trend in the overall figures certainly showed last year’s effort made an impact around the rest of Tasman Bay. “Beachcleaning volunteers found less rubbish than last year, when 10.4 tonnes was collected, but still found plenty of litter on coast alongside main roads,” says Rudy Tetteroo the Department of Conservation community relations programme manager.

The organisers say they had a fantastic response from the community again this year and the public were enthusiastically involved in the spring coastal clean-up.

Wakefield’s own Hero

One Wakefield horse has the iconic birthday and the name to match.

Hero, an appaloosa horse, was born on 11/11/11, Armistice Day. His owner Jan Rae says it was always going to be named in remembrance of our soldiers, if it was born on that day. “We knew that the foal was going to arrive that day and we had been on Facebook with friends mentioning how special the day was; how so many people had

given their lives etc,” she says.

If Hero had been a girl, it would have been named Poppy.

Hero’s father, Zip Me Impressive, is a former World Champion and has won 50 national awards.

Hero is a very “sought after” type of appaloosa.

His startling black and white coat pattern is known as a blanket.

Who do you want to represent Nelson?

With the general election just three days away we asked Nelson candidates for the two major parties why they should get your vote What in your mind is the biggest issue facing Nelson over the next 3 to 5 years?

Maryan Street: Economic growth – equitably distributed. This region needs to step up a notch and develop more value-added products out of the fine primary produce for which we are famous already. This requires research and development and access to investment capital.

Labour has a clear plan to deliver that to business, from reinstating an R&D tax credit, to building our savings and refocusing investment through a capital gains tax so that our clever producers can develop new products.

This will mean more jobs, better jobs, more highly skilled workers and better pay. That will assist people with their housing costs because it is the combination of low wages and high house costs which will continue to stifle growth in Nelson if nothing changes.

In turn, this will mean more money in circulation to support retailers and small businesses which make Nel-

son the diverse community it is.

Nick Smith: The biggest issue for Nelson is the economy – jobs, keeping the cost of living under control, exports, and debt. National’s 120-point plan of balancing the books sooner, growing exports, investing in infrastructure, ensuring public services are efficient, ensuring skills training is relevant, and reducing red tape is the best hope for Nelson and New Zealand in these tough economic times. It is initiatives like expanding King Salmon and the Lee Valley Community Dam that will grow Nelson exports and create real wealth.

What’s been the highlight of the election campaign for you?

NS: My campaign highlight was our launch at Tahunanui Beach with Prime Minister John Key. So many Nelson families came out and the Prime Minister was in great form. It was warm, friendly and Nelson at its best.

MS: The unexpected presentation to me at my campaign launch of a korowai (cloak) as a sign of respect from Labour supporters.

What’s been the low point of the campaign so far?

NS: The dirty tricks. The painting from artist Sam Mahon in Canterbury of an assassinated John Key was just crass, the deliberate and planned vandalism of National’s billboards by the Greens, and the taping of John Key’s private conversations. I think the media did themselves a disservice in demanding the tape be released.

MS: Some of the graffiti on hoardings has been offensive.

Candidates always say it goes with the territory, but when it gets obscene and personal as it has on occasion this time, it sometimes makes me wonder why I put myself up for this.

How do you intend to celebrate if you win Nelson this Saturday?

MS: Quietly and thoughtfully.

NS: The Nelson National Party will be holding our election night party at HQ for our 200 odd election day volunteers.

It will be a nervous night – I’ve got a feeling it might be a bit like the Rugby World Cup final and a sense of relief rather than a big celebration.

What are the top three goals you would like to achieve for Nelson over the next three years?

NS: I’ve set out a twelve point plan for the next three years around three themes of: • Growing our exports and creating jobs which includes initiatives like aquaculture, the Lee Valley community dam, ultra-fast broadband and the Cawthron.

• Improving our health and education services which includes the new after-hours GP clinic, Nelson teen parent unit, Nelson Trades Academy and the Richmond special needs unit; • Making our community safer and cleaner which includes reducing city violence, cleaning up Stoke’s streams, new cycleway along Rock’s Rd and the earthquake upgrade of the School of Music.

MS: More and better paid jobs, lower housing costs, and economic growth and development.

Tim McKergow and Michelle Kennedy of Premier Paeonies tell a storied history of the huge blooming flower. The paeonies are an honoured plant in Asia where over four million people flock to festivals to see the flower bloom. At a certain time in the old Chinese empire a commoner could find themselves pruned a head shorter for growing a flower only the imperial family were allowed to keep. “It’s the national flower of China and Japan has larges festivals to celebrate the flower,” says Tim McKergow, who shifted to Foxhill just over two years ago.

the solution. “It’s critical we do some analysis so we do put something in the right place, rather than just putting something in and finding it’s not in the right place or has a detrimental affect on safety.”

While one resident suggested the crossing solution hasn’t had the urgency due to a lack of accidents in the area, Mark wanted to reassure them that every request had equal urgency. “We never like to see accidents happen. But this is obviously a community driven thing and we would like to work with TDC to make the community as safe as possible. But it’s coming up with a solution that is safe and used by the community.”

Rae Strasser, who initially raised concerns over the crossing, has lead a group of school students investigating the crossing. But due to exams, it had been put on the back burner for now. Adult organisations are likely to have more involvement until the new year, she says. Although she is hoping the children will be invited to the meeting at the end of the month.

Rae was happy at how “proactive” NZTA have been.

“It’s a long process but you’ve got to work with it. It’s not going to happen overnight.”

The Wakefield School travel plan is up for review at the end of this month. With the school walking bus near Whitby Rd now finished, it could be a crucial time for the next plan to be implemented.

Bridget Budget answers your questions Saving for Christmas

Q: Every year I plan to save for

Christmas, but don’t. I end up putting all my Christmas spending on my credit card and pay if off later instead.

Have you got some suggestions for how I can be better prepared?

A: Now is the time to start planning and saving for Christmas.  Start putting aside money now for this Christmas  Talk to your family about present expectations. Set a price limit. You could suggest one person to buy for one other  Decide on a total amount to spend on presents, and food. Stick to it.  Make presents, grow plants, buy second-hand presents or make vouchers in exchange for your time.

Start planning now for next year.  Pay weekly installments into a separate untouchable Christmas account at your bank.  Buy Christmas food vouchers from your supermarket each week - they are usually worth more when you cash them in.  If you join up to a Christmas buying scheme, know what you are getting for your money. It may well be cheaper to save up and buy your own food and presents The Christmas spirit is about people not things.

Keep your celebrations simple. Remember your presence is more valuable than presents.

Two local primary schools are better readers thanks to a new initiative between Ranzau School and Richmond School.

A group of students from both schools were encouraged to join a topic which investigated new authors and a new range of books unfamiliar to them, says the teacher in charge of Ranzau’s library, Megan Richards.

Megan says that many primary school-aged students predominantly read books from just the one author and the topic was about branching out.

Students that took part from both schools met last week and provided their own presentation about the books they had read. Some students wrote their own plot while others told the scene or text which explained the story, or impressed them. “It’s giving lots of different people a chance to try different books,” says Ranzau School student Jed Frethey, 10.

Some of the students say they were already keen readers but the topic has helped them find more interesting novels. While others say it has given them a new passion for reading books in their own time.

Fico are pleased to help St. Pauls School afford the best in learning technology.

The school year may be marching steadily towards its conclusion, but things are by no means slowing down at St Paul’s Catholic School.

Teachers and parents alike are anticipating a great night as the World of Wearable Arts throws open its doors to help the school with their annual fundraiser.

The fundraiser will be the ultimate opportunity to shop, meet up with friends for a classy cup of coffee and a cake, and admire the breathtaking creations that the WOW museum houses. There will be stalls set up where you can get a head start on your Christmas shopping, with a variety of gift ideas; books, toys, clothes, bags, Christmas decorations and food are just an example of what will be on offer throughout the 30-odd stalls. The evening will begin at 6.30pm Thursday night; tickets are just $10 and can be purchased from the Richmond Office Products Depot at 7 McGlashen Ave, Richmond, or will be available at the door. Parents, friends and community members alike can come along and have an enjoyable evening while supporting the school.

The money raised on the evening will help with providing learning tools for the students and keeping the school itself as a great environment for the children. Previous years, the fundraising efforts have provided data projectors for classrooms, as well as new plants for the school’s gardens. John Doorman, the principal, says the next project will be the redevelopment and reopening of the ‘sacred space,’ an area like an outdoor chapel where services can be held for the students.

It’s been an exciting term already for the community of St Paul’s, with many teams coming away with great results at the ‘Top of the South’ touch tournament, where all the Catholic schools in the region came together to compete. Notable among the outstanding results was the Year 5/6 competitive team, which took out the trophy for first place. Many of the participation teams also had a great day, placing first and third, and the involvement of helpful parents contributed towards the success of the day.

The Year 7/8 students returned last week from their school camp in Wellington. They took the ferry to the country’s capital to experience an urban

environment on a scale not found in Nelson. At the Capital E Studio, the students had the chance to star in their own news report. The clip, named “All Stars on Screen,” was uploaded on Tuesday November 15 and can be found online at http://blip.tv/ontvstudio.

They also visited the Weta Workshop and competed in their own version of the “Amazing Race,” based on the travel adventure TV show, where they were organised into teams of four students with each teacher and used public transport to collect clues.

The students will be given the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, with activities like kayaking and bush bashing.

On November 27 will be the Santa Parade in which St Paul’s is entering a float. Students will attend the school mass that is being held at 9.30 at the Parish Centre, and then continue on to be decked out in their Christmas present costumes to parade through Richmond.

The school’s theme will be of presents on Christmas morning, eagerly waiting to be unwrapped.

Parents are welcome to join in the fun; just don something that gets you in the spirit of Christmas and be a part of the group.

St Paul’s is a welcoming school with a focus on family and community spirit. Their school motto, “You must shine among them like stars lighting up the sky,” is reflected by the bright nature of the

It’s been a wonderful year for St Paul’s School students with memorable events taking place including the recent touch tournament and school camps for students in Wellington and Curious Cove. Pictured are Sam McCashin, Zac Moffat, Tim Fahey, James Norton and Jonno Powick.

Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled its redesigned premium sports coupe, the new Genesis Coupe.

The new Genesis Coupe is an improved version of Hyundai’s first rear-wheel drive sports coupe, introduced in October 2008. As its sportier new look implies, the upgraded Genesis Coupe offers a more dynamic and powerful driving experience.

The eye-catching grille design completes a bold and sporty front look and enhances cooling performance.

Additionally, sleeker head lamps, LED positioning lamps, an LED rear combination lamp and distinct character lines reinforce Genesis Coupe’s high-performance sports car image.

High-quality materials and metal accents create a sporty and sophisticated high-tech interior, while the standard multi-gauge located on the centre fascia gives the driver instant feedback for a more dynamic driving experience.

The new Genesis Coupe comes with two engines including the Theta 2.0 TCI (Turbo Charged Intercooler) and the Lambda 3.8 V6 GDi (Gasoline Direct Injection) which significantly increases performance and efficiency by directly injecting fuel into the cylinder.

The new Genesis Coupe delivers maximum output of 257kW and maximum torque of 400Nm. Compared to the previous Genesis Coupe’s engine, the Lambda 3.8 MPi, this represents an improvement of 35kW and 39Nm respectively.

A larger radiator intercooler for the high-performance 2.0 TCI’s turbocharger cools air more effectively and enhances driving responsiveness. The twin-scroll turbo allows for better performance and durability.

Compared to its predecessor, the Theta 2.0 TCi increases maximum output and maximum torque by 48kW and 78Nm to 202kW and 373Nm, respectively.

The more powerful engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, bringing smoother shifting and a more dynamic driving performance to the Genesis Coupe.

A sound generator has been applied to the Lamda 3.8 GDi model variants to enhance the driving experience.

Although the face-lifted Genesis Coupe will not be sold in Australia, Hyundai Motor Company Australia confirmed earlier in the year that the next all-new generation of Genesis Coupe will be introduced locally.

Rugby Union appoints new CEO The Tasman Rugby Union has appointed a new CEO following the resignation of Peter Barr last month.

Andrew Flexman, the current chief executive of the NZ Rugby Foundation, has been appointed to the role, announced TRU chairman Nick Patterson over the weekend.

Andrew has previously worked for various law firms specialising in employment law and civil litigation. Tasman Rugby Union administers the game in Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough, from a junior level to the Makos.

Andrew says he is looking forward to taking up the role and building on the momentum created

by the union in recent years. “I have long been an admirer of Tasman rugby and am committed to ensuring that top flight rugby stays in the region in the years ahead.”

Nick says he is thrilled with Andrew’s appointment. “Andrew’s experience as a director of the Chiefs’ [Super 15] franchise and the Counties Manukau Rugby Union, and his time with the Rugby Foundation, will be beneficial to the Tasman Rugby Union,” he says. “He understands the issues facing provincial unions in the challenging economic times we currently face.”

Andrew takes up the role from January 23, 2012.

Stoke Bakery Cake Kitchen situated at 510 Main Road, Stoke.

He joined Neil, the master baker, who has been with Stoke Bakery since 1983, and in 1993 Margaret became a member of staff. Neil and Margaret became partners of the business in 2005, and together with their employees they have been keeping the iconic bakery up to the highest standard.

With a history as rich as their de-

licious cakes, you can be sure the snacks, sweets and savories you get at Stoke Bakery have been perfected over the years.

Come to 510 Main St Stoke to sample their mouthwatering range and try the Christmas mince tarts to place an order. They are open 5am to 5pm weekdays, and 5am to 1.30pm on Saturday.

Nelson mastered by oldies The Nelson rep cricket side hit a brick wall on Sunday, as they were run down by the New Zealand Cricket Players’ Association Masters team.

The NZCPA Masters chased down 112, in just 13 overs, to claim a seven-wicket victory.

Robbies Bar & Bistro Waimea Toi Toi United Tiger Greg Hay, who was on loan for the NZCPA side, hit the winning runs.

The match was organised to help celebrate the recent official opening of the new $3.8 million pavilion. It was the first senior cricket fixture since the opening.

Nelson batsmen Matt Macquet struck a run-aball 21, including two fours and a six, to top score for the home-side, who opened the innings. Wanderers captain Dan Cooper and WTTU skipper

Jon Routhan were the only two other players to find the boundary for Nelson.

Former Marlborough and Canada World Cup all-rounder Geoff Barnett proved the star of the show. He claimed one wicket with the ball, costing just six runs off his four overs. But it was his batting which gave NZCPA some early flair in the run chase. Geoff hit nine fours before he was caught at long on by former Waimea College allrounder Connor Neynens, attempting to reach 50 runs.

Another former Waimea College student, Dan Wightman, showed promise with the ball and was Nelson’s leading wicket taker with 2-27 as the NZCPA side reached 113 for three with a full 6.4 overs to spare.

Saxton Stadium is opening its doors to local families this Saturday from 11am to 3pm.The free family fun day is hosted by Sport Tasman with its resident sport codes giving families a taste of their code.

There was one birthday present that stood above the rest for Nelson’s George Bennett.

The newly 21 year-old has signed a twoyear professional contract with one of the world’s highest profile cycling teams, RadioShack Nissan Trek.

George impressed nine-time Tour de France winning director Johan Bruyneel when he spent part of the year as a stagiare, or apprentice, with the old RadioShack squad.

RadioShack Nissan Trek has already signed some of the world’s leading cyclists including Fabian Cancellara and the Schleck brothers, Andy and Frank.

George, a former Waimea College student, likened being a stagiare to a “really big job interview.” He will also be joined by good friend and former Trek Livestrong Under-23 team-mate Dale Parker in the coming year.

He says the two-year deal is customary for all new professionals, giving him time to work his way into the team’s culture. “I’ll start working [my way] up in the second year,” says George. “It’s such a huge step up, it’s just so fast. So it’s really important that in that first six months I adapt to living like a pro; being PRO TURN: Hope’s George Bennett has penned a twoaway and finding a house.” year deal with high-profile cycling team RadioShack But George is keen to perform straight Nissan Trek.

Waimea earns early bragging rights

Fishing with

Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club Tasman Bay snapper are still proving to be a bit elusive, but it is just a matter of time before they will be more consistent in numbers with the water temperature starting to rise. Last weekend a 17lb snapper was caught in Kenepuru but it is still hard work with a lot of sharks about. We also have word of some large cod being caught off Witts Rock and our Dawnbreaker divers sighted some kingfish at The Glen last week, which means they will start to move down the boulder bank in the coming weeks.

Kayak Fishing is experiencing an amazing increase in popularity and is now recognised as one of the fastest growing water sport in New Zealand and certainly it’s making fishing far more accessible to all. Our kayak fishers have been hauling in some great sized gurnard, new season snapper and terakihi. Tip for kayak fishing and catching gurnard at Delaware Bay – paddle out on the outgoing tide or you’ll be paddling backwards. Head out to around 50ft of water where the sand meets the mud, anchor up here. Use a size 5 hook, 1 inch cube pilchards for bait and suspend your bait just off the ocean floor, sit back and smile. This method has produced gurnard up to 1.13kg.

The next Dawnbreakers social evening is 7pm Saturday December 3 at the Nelson Suburban Club.

Anyone interested in joining the club is welcome to come along and meet other mad keen fisherman.

The police will provide patrol cars to lead and follow the parade but motorists should be aware that this special event will cause minor delays.

Notice from the Rotoiti District Community Council Rubbish disposal in the Lake Rotoiti/St Arnaud area: If you have a property that you rent out or make available to family/friends, could you please ensure that you supply the appropriate rubbish disposal bags and recycling container, with clear instructions on the importance of the use of them.
