Pie sales get big shake-up Simon Bloomberg Greymouth Star
and
Pie, petrol and coffee sales in Murchison and St Arnaud have skyrocketed with traffic driving through the two small towns increasing by more than 2700 vehicles a day after last week’s massive 7.8 earthquake that closed State Highway 1 near Kaikoura. New Zealand Transport Agency figures show that 2700 vehicles, including 550 trucks, were travelling on SH1 between Christchurch and Picton every day. Those vehicles are now using the shortest alternative route through Murchison and St Arnaud, almost tripling the traffic volumes through those towns from 1500 to 4200 vehicles a day. And, if anything, that figure is an underestimate with NZTA spokesman Andy Knackstedt saying there will be “a larger number of trucks than the pre-quake

counts as the rail freight traffic, which used to be carried along SH1, is transferred onto trucks.” Andy says the traffic numbers will also be boosted by the earthquake response and recovery traffic using the SH7 Murchison Highway. St Arnaud Alpine Store co-owner Elaine Richards says the impact of the closure of SH1 on their business has been huge with pie sales skyrocketing from 200 a week to 1000. Sales of fuel have also increased by around six-times and, for the first time, trucks are

Top year for A&P Show Brittany Spencer
Nelson’s A&P Show is just getting bigger. Last weekend’s show drew families, locals and tourists to the Richmond Show Ground for two days of competitions, fun, entertainment, and a fair bit of wind. A&P Association manager Annette Robinson says, despite the predicted weather hiccup, the show went off this year. “I’ve had people telling me they thought it was a fantastic show with everything that was here, there was
so much to do and see, and I know the RDA couldn’t get over how many people were lining up for horse and pony rides.” Annette says the show keeps growing year on year and isn’t showing any signs of slowing, with well over 12,000 people estimated to have flooded through the gates. “We won’t know how many people came through for another day but we’re expecting it to be well above last year’s numbers, both Saturday and Sunday were really busy so it should be a lot more.” Crowds drew towards the wood-
chopping, helicopter rides, strongman challenges, home brewing demonstrations and the shearing competition, but one of the humorous highlights of the show was definitely the terrier racing. “Two ran off, they knew what they were doing, but another one decided to lie down on the middle of the track and have a wee itch and another one was off having a pee somewhere which took a long time, and then another one just didn’t want to run so they had to coax him and he eventually came third, it was very funny.”

“I’m not sure. We just put our socks out for him, we got an orange in the toe, some nuts and things to eat and maybe a tiny present. Underneath the tree a bigger present each.”
“We put milk and cookies out and all that. When I went to boarding school, I was only six, I probably learned then. He gave us things we needed, hunting and fishing things.”
“I think my brother told me he was a bit doubtful about whether Santa was real. We always got a kids annual magazine and things like toothbrushes and oranges.”
“I was probably about eight and overheard my older siblings. We’d put out cabbage leaves for the reindeer, and get a main toy and lots of nuts and fruit and bits and pieces.”
Sales of pies and fuel jump FROM PAGE 1 stopping to refuel at the store. “It’s only been a week but we’ve had about three times the number of people through the store,” Elaine says. “We are selling lots of pies and sandwiches and coffee but the people aren’t sitting down and eating - they are on the go. “We’ve had to employ four more staff to keep up and we’re open longer. After 7.30pm it’s mainly trucks stopping for fuel - last night we were open to 10.” Murchison resident Mick Hopkinson says the impact of the closure of SH1 was immediate with “a lot more traffic noise, and a lot more traffic”. “They come off the ferry 150 at a time, and spread out,” Mick says. “In two or three hours they come whizzing through - we are starting to see little pods of trucks
parked in lay-bys.” The Murchison information centre is also experiencing the explosion in traffic volumes. Robert King-Tenison says the volume of trucks was “really noticeable when you have one road through a small town - it’s constant.” They were also seeing a lot of tourists who had intended travelling the Kaikoura route. The information centre is pushing them on to the West Coast, from Karamea right down to the glaciers. Robert says if SH1 is not reopened for the peak of the tourist season in January and February, it is “going to be completely whacky”. Tasman district councillor for Lakes-Murchison, Stu Bryant, says the traffic increases are already causing a few problems. Engine braking signs had been

-erected at St Arnaud for trucks coming from the north and heading downhill into the township. People coming to relax there for the weekend or a holiday did not want to hear truck airbrakes all night, Stu says. Businesses are also struggling to find enough staff to cope, and in turn accommodate those extra staff members - they also had to find places for all the trucks to
park. NZTA regional performance manager Pete Connors says they can’t put a time-line on the reopening of SH1 between Picton and Christchurch although he says it will be a “huge job that will take a number of months.” He says the complexity and number of the slips on the road are “unprecedented in New Zealand.” Andy says NZTA is “fully aware of the impact this will have on the communities located along this route and the issues for road users. We will be investing additional time and resources to maintain the road to the level required to safely cope with a significant increase in traffic and ensure people’s safety. We will also work together with communities to listen to their concerns and manage the impact on local residents and businesses.”

Sweat was pouring off overheated bodies and wool was flying everywhere as some of the country's fastest shearers hit the boards at the Golden Edge Nelson A&P Show shearing champs on Saturday. With every shearer determined to make the open final, it was set to be a tight race between Takaka’s Nick Nalder, veteran Marlborough shearer Chris Jones, Geraldine’s Paul Hodges and Hawarden’s Dave Brooker. The crowd hung their hopes on Nick, the only local to make the final after last year's favourite Travers Baigent just missed the cut. Nick rose to the challenge, shearing his pen of 14 sheep first in 15min 31sec. “It’s usually a pretty tough competition here,” says Nick. “I don’t normally make the final, unlike a lot of these guys I only do competitions around the top of the South but today it felt really good.” Nick, who shears full time and has a farm in Takaka, says he’s been competing at the show for as long as he can remember. “I’ve been shearing for about 25 years but I couldn’t tell you how many A&P Shows I’ve

Mum and daughter caught in Kaikoura quake Simon Bloomberg Nelson mum Juanita Ingham admits she is usually a “bit of a wuss” when it comes to earthquakes, but she knew she had to be brave when the destructive 7.8 quake hit Kaikoura at two minutes past midnight on Monday November 14. Juanita and her daughter Lucy were staying in Kaikoura on their way back from Dunedin where Lucy is studying law, when the massive quake hit the town. Although the motel they were staying in was not badly damaged, the quake threw them out of their beds and onto the floor where they held each other tight and prayed for the violent shaking to stop. “It was so frightening because it just kept going,” Juanita says. “We couldn’t stand up, we just lay on the floor holding each other “I’m normally a bit of a wuss when it comes to these sorts of things at home and [husband] Craig is the calm one. But Craig wasn’t there and we were on our own, so I knew I had keep it together and reassure Lucy.” When the shaking finally subsided, Juanita says her first thoughts were
for the people of Christchurch after the city had been devastated by two big quakes. “We didn’t know where it was centred, so I said to Lucy ‘I hope that wasn’t in Christchurch’. It was such a big quake I knew, that if it had in been Christchurch, it would be ground zero there.” The next thing they did was to try and call Craig and the rest of their family in Nelson to say they were safe, but they couldn’t get through because the phones were out. It wasn’t until the next morning when they found a wi-fi hot spot outside the hospital that Lucy was able to send a Facebook message to her brother Tom saying they were safe and well. “We knew we were alright but Dad didn’t know, so it was harder on him,” Lucy says. “He didn’t actually realise the earthquake had hit Kaikoura until one of his friends called him at two in the morning and asked if we were alright. “It was really stressful for him and the rest of the family not knowing. They were beside themselves.” The following morning Juanita and Lucy tried to leave Kaikoura but, after driving around two road cones

and an insignificant sign saying road closed, they soon realised that they weren’t going anywhere. “We got to a part of the road where it had sheared and dropped a couple of feet, so we turned around. When we got back we had a bit of a look around and saw the damage to all the shops. “The town was empty but there were hundreds of people all
camped up on the hill out of the tsunami zone. There were tents and cars everywhere - it was chaos.” Later on Monday, Lucy and Juanita finally managed to get some cellphone coverage behind the police station and called Craig who said he would arrange a helicopter flight out of Kaikoura. However, the initial attempt to get airlifted out was aborted after Juanita and
Lucy lost cellphone reception and missed their rendezvous with the helicopter. “We missed the flight and then someone told us the road wouldn’t be open for at least two weeks and we’d be stuck here, and we burst into tears,” Juanita says. “But then a friend of ours in Nelson, Karen Lane, had been talking to her friend in Kaikoura and she found us and said we had a flight out at 6.30 in the morning. “We were so relieved to get out but at the same time we felt really guilty leaving everyone. We felt really sorry for everyone in Kaikoura - it’s such a tragedy for the town.” Juanita says the helicopter flight along the east coast was a real eye-opener, revealing for the first time the extent of the damage. “All those pictures you see on the television and in the paper don’t do it any justice. The scale of the slips and the damage is so big - it’s frightening.” Lucy says they had an emotional reunion when they landed in Nelson and all their family were there to greet them. She says her grandmother “was a wreck” and her father looked like he had aged a couple of years.

V8 CRUISE: Ross Hurley, left, and Ian Barker are taking their pride and joys on the Escapade car cruise fund-raiser for the Nelson Tasman Hospice this Saturday. The Escapade was held for the first time last year and proved so popular that Ross and Ian, who organised the event, decided to stage it again this year. “We were only expecting 20 or 30 cars last year because it was the first time, but we got 56 so we were really happy,” Ross says. “We are supporting such a good cause this year so we are hoping to get even more cars along.” All V8, muscle car, hot rod and classic car owners are encouraged to join the Escape. The cruise will leave Brightwater Motor Inn on Saturday at 10.30am, returning at 2pm for two hours live music and prize draws. Photo: Simon Bloomberg.
Locals rally around victim Brightwater locals are promising to rally around the new owners of the Brightwater Motor Inn after they were caught up in a horrific attack at the pub on Saturday night. Four people were injured during the serious assault, it is alleged, including a 59-year-old man who had to be flown to Wellington Hospital for surgery. A man staying in one of the accommodation rooms, aged 39, was arrested and is facing a serious violence charge as a result of the alleged assaults. Waimea Weekly spoke with several locals who didn’t want to be identified but said the wider community was planning to throw their support behind the owners, who only took over running the motor inn recently. Staff at the pub told the Weekly on Tuesday that the owners were “away” and that they had been asked not to comment to media. The 39-year-old man was remanded in custody after appearing in the Nelson District Court on Monday.
Santa is coming The annual Richmond Pak ‘n Save Santa Parade will be held this Sunday starting at 12pm. The popular parade has attracted 37 floats which will be competing for the top three prizes of $500, $300 and $200 worth of Pak ‘n Save vouchers. The prize-winners will be announced in the post-parade party in Sundial Square which will feature Santa as a special guest. The parade starts near the intersection of Edward St and Queen St at 12pm and travels down Queen St before turning into Cambridge St.

Snow returns to Rainbow: The recent stormy weather surprised many, bringing snow back to the Rainbow Ski Area last week. Snow began falling on Wednesday afternoon, settling in and snowing harder just before dark and lasting until just after 10am on Thursday. “It’s a bit of a shock really, we weren’t expecting any more snow,” says workshop foreman Mark `Buzz' Busbridge. “There were a good couple of centimetres down to the treeline and it was still snowing this morning. It’s a bit of a nuisance for us, but it does look pretty nice up here.”

'I'm angry and lonely' A brain injury from car crash and people make fun of him for it Andrew Board John Wakelin is frustrated, angry and, most of all, lonely. His life was full of fun and mischief when he was a 20-year-old forklift driver. He loved his ute, loved to drink beer with his mates and was looking forward to a long happy life. On the night that changed it all, John was doing a good deed. He’d just finished playing indoor cricket and had dropped a friend off in Wakefield before driving back to his home in Richmond. On his way through Three Brothers Corner a drunk driver smashed into his car, breaking the leg of a passenger, breaking the leg of the drunk and leaving John in hospital unconscious for a month and fighting for his life. Reflecting on that night and the 33 years that have followed it, John wishes he hadn't come out of that coma. “If it happened again I’d sooner die than going through all of this again.” John suffered a brain injury from the crash that has left him unable to work. He feels isolated, with little contact with family and friends, and what makes it worse is the people who make fun of him. “There’s heaps of prejudice, people abuse me. I can’t be bothered with people like that. Go through a windscreen and see

Photo: Andrew Board. how you get on.” John admits that he doesn’t have much of a filter when it comes to saying what’s on his mind, so he does react when people say cruel things to him. He knows it doesn’t help, but he can’t do anything about it. “I just wish everyone would leave me alone, just not even talk to me, I don’t want to talk to them.” A prime example was last Guy Fawkes
night when some local kids put fireworks in his letterbox. When they went off, John came running from his house yelling at them. One of the kids then threw a rock which whizzed past John’s head and smashed a window. Brain Injury coordinator Fiona Price says John’s situation is tough. “That’s one of the reasons why John was keen to tell his story because that’s some-

Hello Readers, How lovely it is to have the sun shining - two weeks of rain was just a bit much for us all. Let’s hope that the wind is short lived. However we forget quickly. There were smiles everywhere at the Nelson A&P Show, children were talking to the animals, laughing, playing and the adults were generous with their time and commitment to family. It was lovely to catch up and to share the country spirit with you all.
thing that happens a lot. People in society make judgements. “Especially young people calling names to him, they think he’s stupid because he walks a bit funny, not realising that actually he’s been through a major trauma.” John says boredom is one of the hardest things to deal with and he spends his days at the Elma Turner Library, cycling around Nelson and visiting Fiona and Clare Van Eeden from Brain Injury Support. “I’m lonely, and that helps fuel the anger and that anger keeps people away. It’s a catch-22, you can’t win.” Fiona says brain injury is really common in New Zealand with about 90 people suffering a brain injury every day. “But it’s not talked about all that much, because a lot of it is hidden. A lot of people who come in here, you’d never know they had a brain injury, they look fit and healthy, but then you start talking to them and realise that, yeah, things aren’t going so well.”

Richmond pool tops again Simon Bloomberg The Richmond Aquatic Centre is officially one of the best in the country after winning a prestigious national award at the New Zealand Recreation Association Conference at Queenstown. The Tasman District Councilowned centre has already won a host of in-house awards from Community Leisure Management which is the company that manages 20 recreational facilities around the country, including the Richmond Aquatic and Fitness Centre. However, it is the first time the Richmond Aquatic Centre has won an award open to all pools around country and manager Vaughan Hope says they are still buzzing two weeks after receiving the Outstanding Pool Award. “We’ve won lots of CLM awards but these awards have such a high standard, with such strict criteria, we were thrilled just to have our nomination accepted,” Vaughan says. “We were up against some very big and expensive pools but the award is based on how you manage the pool so I knew we could compete. “A pool is not just for swimming - it’s for all water-based activi-
ties. We get more people to our pool per square metre than most other pools and we try very hard to attract a diverse range of users which is why we won this award.” However, Vaughan says the staff won’t be resting on their laurels because the market keeps changing and they have to keep up. “Every year we introduce new programmes to try and keep up. They don’t always work but you have to keep trying. “We also spend a lot of time talking to our users to find out what they want and talking to people who don’t use the pool to see how we can attract them. But it doesn’t matter what you offer, you still need a good team to deliver the programmes and we are lucky to have that.” The judges at the awards stated that they were impressed with the pool’s “innovative programming, including maritime school, stand up paddle boarding, free-diving, dive school, water safety skills, learn to swim and aqua robots.” The popularity of the swim school and the way “staff actively engaged with the local community, supporting local events and fundraising initiatives” were also rated highly.

Seminar to help landlords learn about meth-contamination A seminar for landlords about how to deal with rental properties contaminated by methampletamine is being held in Monaco next week. Martin Wilkie of First National Real Estate has organised a seminar to be held on Tuesday, November 29, after hearing multiple stories about the issue. “I’ve just had so many people not understanding what’s happening with meth. Obviously it’s a big issue at the moment and I thought, rather than having people just hearing stories in the newspaper, why not actually have an informative evening for them to see what the implications are if they’ve got meth in their property, how they go about finding out if their property is contaminated and what they do if it is,” says Martin. Earlier this year, the Waimea Weekly reported Martin Wilkie on a Richmond rental property that received around $50,000 worth of remedial work after being severely contaminated. Kev Taylor from Meth Screen says they are definitely getting busier due to raised awareness from the media. “People are looking at pre-purchase testing, pre and post tenancy testing, as well as pre-sale testing as it’s the sort of information that people are looking for now [when purchasing property].” The seminar will include talks from experts including insurance, property management and legal representatives. Kev says the first half of their presentation will start out with an overview of methamphetamine, its history, what it looks like and what it does, which will lead into how it’s toxicity can affect people’s properties, as well as families and the community. While the seminar is a free event, spaces are limited so please contact Martin to register your interest. Phone 548 2000, 027 470 9797 or email office@richmondfn.co.nz. The seminar will run from 6pm at The Honest Lawyer.

What a lovely example of kindness and generosity. Truly heartwarming. Vee Harrison. Nelson to get busier after Kaikoura quake: Nelson misses a lot of the tourists on a tighter time frame, that go from Auckland to Wellington, and then ferry to Picton and go straight down to Christchurch/Queenstown via Kaikoura. We'll start getting them and they'll go to the West Coast via Nelson,
hopefully. Jeff McLaren Yes, had that thought this afternoon cycling home on Rocks Rd towards town, seeing the 'oh, so slow,' southern-headed traffic, and mentally picturing all those SHWY 1 Picton/CHCH truck added into the mix. They can't go via Nelson Lakes, so there's only one other option via land. Jacqui Irwin. Lewis Stanton and protesters fight on Trafalgar St: NCC should be ashamed for allowing things to get this far. For God's sake, grow a pair and get rid of Lewis Stanton once and for all - but not with my rates money!! Tania Brunell. This was disgusting. Kids yelling and screaming like they knew what the were protesting about, adults just standing around doing nothing. Police should have been there 30 minutes earlier. The fact I had to get past with my two babies while things were getting thrown around and everyone was yelling and screaming at each other and people gang-bashing a man. Jem Stewart. That is disgusting behaviour! That's the disgusting behaviour you expect at 3am on Bridge St! And this is a Sunday afternoon! Yuk! Alesha Chisnall.
editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz facebook.com/waimeaweekly www.nelsonlive.co.nz
Disgusting mob behaviour. I'm not a Stanton supporter but I think the way this protest happened was nothing short of vigilante carry on. I get they want to be heard but that's not the way to do it. I suppose the council will have to take action and the police will have Stanton charged with assault. Shaz Nicholls. A group of people make signs, same as Lewis Stanton. Proceed to setup camp in the same place as Lewis Stanton. Use language and volume of language the same as Lewis Stanton. These other people are opposed to Lewis Stanton because he realises that he has no more ground to stand on, not morally or practically. He becomes violent as I believe he has done many times before. This time it is on film. Press charges, post on Facebook pages to anyone else who has been assaulted either verbally or physically, go to the police together, prove to a judge he's a risk and a hazard and he will legally be moved on after a long stop in jail for assault and other related offences. Luke King. This guy is taking everyone on a ride. Costing taxpayers money by using up time and resources of the authorities. Give him a slap and set him adrift far out to sea. Julian Kuipers.

Wishing Tree gifts sharing the joy Simon Bloomberg The Wishing Tree Appeal that was launched in KMart’s Richmond store last Wednesday is aiming to make Christmas a lot happier for 2000 people around the Nelson-Tasman region. The annual appeal, which is in its 23rd year in New Zealand and third year in Nelson, is the largest and longest-running Christmas appeal in the country. It aims to collect Christmas gifts for families in-neeed around the district which will be distributed by the Salvation Army. Last year, people donated 1145 gifts to the appeal and KMart Richmond store manager Camrin Holmes says they are aiming for 2000 this year. People can donate gifts or money to the Wishing Tree appeal in store or donate to the appeal on-line at kmart. co.nz/wishingtree

a great way for people to help those in-need this Christmas. The Salvation Army distributed gifts to about 1000 families last Christmas. “When people give, there is always a sense of love that goes
out with those gifts,” Kenneth says. “This partnership (with KMart) allows the joy of Christmas to be shared.” Camrin says the gifts don’t need to be purchased at Kmart. The appeal closes on Christmas Eve.

Brightwater Community News
Brightwater Community Association Pat Lithgow Chairperson At the last meeting of the Brightwater Community Association, a local person put forward the suggestion that Brightwater could be “brightened” by the addition of flower pots. Examples of what is envisaged can be found on the Brightwater Community Facebook page. The speaker offered to sponsor one pot, including the flowers and maintain them as well. An offer has also been received of a donation of pots and potting mix. This initiative will only be successful if people will undertake to “adopt” a pot and maintain and irrigate it. We must also consider where such displays can be safely placed without inconven-
iencing people. Your suggestions are welcomed and may be placed on the Brightwater Community Facebook page. The problems of traffic on Ellis St was discussed but such matters will not be solved overnight. There is now a national policy for the consistency of speed zones and Tasman District Council will be required to work within this policy. A further meeting with TDC is planned for early 2017, so while progress is not meteoric, we continue to pursue the matter. Meantime, Brightwater School is progressing with its own plans around heavy traffic during opening and closing times of the school. Whatever the outcome, parents must remain vigilant when dropping-off and collecting children.

Waimea Area Quilters This year has been a very special year for Waimea Area Quilters. Our fifth year was celebrated in April with a great Quilt Show at Wakefield School where we had a huge number of fellow quilters and patch workers and families and friends visit us over the two-day, fine weekend. Thank you for the support from the school and especially the pool committee. We have
made approximately 20 children’s charity quilts so far which have gone in all directions in our area, including to two families whose homes burned down recently. We have had classes, retreats and several Sew Days and have been pleased to welcome local tutors and new members. We now number between 25 and 30 enthusiastic members (and rising) from all over the area, Brightwater,
Wakefield, Hope, Richmond and Nelson and further afield, which is a great blessing. Most of the time we have met at Hope School Library and we thank the school for their support since our earliest
days, it is much appreciated. Thank you to all members in the local area for your support and hard work over the past 12 months and we look forward to a great 2017.

Always there to help Where were you when the earthquake struck? What did you feel, think and do? For Nicola Berthelsen, after making sure her family where fine, her attention turned to those in the community. Especially the more senior members which she cares for. On Monday morning, she made contact with those she knows, just to check that they were okay and for some she made a visit. It’s
a role she has as an employee of the local Brightwater Community Anglican Church to support all the elderly people within our community. If you are a senior in the Brightwater or Wakefield community and you need support or help with something then feel free to contact her and she will do her best to either help you or put you in touch with someone that can.

FOR YOUR SUPPORT
On the 22nd December 2003, Nelson Building Society opened a branch in Murchison. This was done after initial consultation (via survey and meeting) with the Murchison community, who were without a bank since the closure of ASB in the late 90’s. After many pledges of support NBS opened the branch with a new purpose built office. We have enjoyed the new clients who came in to open accounts, and have many full banking customers who have supported us from the outset which has enabled us to be here 13 years later. Since those early days we have made many improvements – introducing NBS Mobile, upgrading our internet banking, installing an ATM (which is used extensively), school banking, sale and purchase of foreign cash, cash passports, debit cards and of course our excellent term investment rates, home and business loans. NBS Murchison branch have also said thank you to many community groups who have supported us by giving sponsorship for their many different events ranging from children’s clubs and schools, to sporting and cultural groups. We enjoy sponsoring these groups and giving support from within our community to our community. We are looking forward to the future – offering personal friendly service to our existing and prospective customers as we feel the best part of working in our branch is getting to know the people in our community. We invite those who have not yet experienced the NBS personal service to call in and meet the team.

Nelson’s best stars to be honoured Jacob Page
Liam Malone’s charismatic shadow will loom large over the Nelson Sports Awards at Annesbrook Church on Friday night. The 22-year-old paralympic sprinter who won two gold medals and a silver in Rio is the clear standout choice in the Sportsman of the Year category, after captivating the world’s media with his charm and receiving a key to Nelson City last month. Cycling’s George Bennett appears his biggest threat after a stellar pro year, which included a gritty effort in the Tour de France which won him much praise. Liam Squire’s All Blacks’ nod and Finn Delany’s emergence within New Zealand basketball will also have them near the top of the contender’s list Sportswoman of the Year is far more even with world champion rower Zoe McBride battling Black Sticks’ hockey player Kelsey Smith and Blackjacks’ lawn bowls duo of Kirsten Edwards and Jo Edwards, as some of the main contenders. Basketball has two nominees in Jessica Bygate and Jodi Hikuroa-Jeffrey. The Collingwood Senior B rugby team, which won the Senior B competition in a gripping mud-bath of a final, will battle the victorious Richmond Rabbits rugby

Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway’s planned feature was affected by the recent Kaikoura earthquake, but the Stockcar Stirrer certainly made up for it on Saturday night. The Palmerston North Panthers Super Stock team were due to race the Nelson Tigers for the Challenge Cup, but due to ferry sailings being disrupted there was no guarantee that the team could get across and back in time, so it has been postponed. It was decided by the Club to run the Stockcar Stirrer competition and donate a portion of the gate fee to help in the earthquake recovery. The Youth Ministocks were running their blind pairs competition with the Street stocks running 'hit to pass,' and round 1 of the T.Q Club Championships along with the Mark Thorn Memorial for Sidecars. The stirring got underway
immediately in the stockcar grade, Thunder captain Michael Paynter 8n signalled his intentions early, waiting for the lead cars to come back around. His first target was Thunders selector Tony Frost, who managed to escape Paynter’s bumper, but it was soon over for the 8n car, sitting infield with both right side tyres deflated. The next race was just as short as he was left parked up the wall courtesy of a Troy Currie hit, Frost and Brad Neiman had a close tussle in race two, the experience of Frost getting the job done when Brad attacked too early and got spun up in the last lap. The overall stirrer went to Dwayne Westley. The Youth Ministock blind pairs means that you didn’t know who your partner was until racing was completed, Hamish Carter’s forward vision in the first heat won him the race after the lead cars got caught up with lap cars, he stayed wide to take the win.
“Move in when you can still enjoy it.” Life is brighter since Marjorie moved into her spacious serviced apartment at her Summerset retirement village. Marjorie has always lived an active life, yet living in the family home was beginning to feel a little quiet.
“I’M PLEASED I DIDN’T LEAVE IT TOO LATE.”
“My son Graeme was concerned I was rattling around on my own. One day he said ‘Just come down and see the village for yourself.’ And I thought well, I have got nothing to lose.” Since moving into her serviced apartment you’ll find Marjorie zipping around to catch up with friends, taking part in the many activities on offer or reading the newspaper in the sunny library.
He claimed heat two, but ran two wheels over the pole line off the start of heat three to be relegated three spots after the race. Overall best pairs went to Sophie Rangi and Wade Sweeting. The street stock winner was Cody McCarrison after plenty of action in the “Hit to Pass” competition. Round one of the T.Qs went to Alicia McLauchlan, Jayden Corkill picked up the extra race win with a dominant display while Scott Madden had the wild ride of the night, rolling his car along the wall. The extra Super stock race endured a wee battle between Jared Gray and Trevor Lineham, with Jared’s car losing the right front wheel off the car. Adie Drake and Kieran Satherley won the sidecar memorial with two wins and a second. The next meeting sees the South Island Stockcar Title on the line and War of the Wings, on December 3 when the summer action heats up.

Four wheels good, two better, for John McIntyre Jacob Page John McIntyre has swapped V8 power for pedal power as he gets set to launch the Abel Tasman Cycle Challenge next weekend. The New Zealand V8 Championship regular and former Bathurst 1000 competitor believes his days racing behind the wheel have set him up well for the challenges he faces in organising a cycling event. “It takes a lot to run any motorsport campaign,” John says. “You have to look after people like sponsors, your race crew and have the media and fan interaction, and on top of that you have to perform on the track. “It’s quite similar here, you have lots of different areas to look after and organise to make sure you pull off a successful event.” The 158km full course, the 84km half and 50km ‘Nifty Fifties’ event means there is some-
of the challenge which will start and finish at Saxton Field. “The people who do it the first year become ambassadors for the event, they will spread the message and hopefully help us grow it each year.” The race starts four metres above sea level but climbs to 231m at its highest point. The 158km ride is split into four stages. Stage one a 35km effort between Saxton Field and Upper Moutere. Stage two a 40km ride from Upper Moutere to the Motueka River. Stage three is 33km between Motueka and Riwaka, taking in Kaiteriteri Beach, and the last stage in 50km between Riwaka and Saxton Fields. The racing starts at 6.30am on Saturday, December 3.

Second Hand Sunday returns Second Hand Sunday is returning for the final time in 2016 – it’s a chance to clear out some clutter before Christmas or grab a treasure or two. What is Second Hand Sunday? People taking part in Second Hand Sunday leave unwanted items on their driveway for others to take away for free. Goods can include anything from old furniture, books, clothing or leftover bits and pieces from building projects. We ask you not to put out food or dangerous goods such as faulty electrical equipment, chemicals or firearms. When: Sunday 11 December 2016, 10.00 am – 1.00 pm. How do I participate? To offer items, complete a registration form online before 9.00 am on Thursday 8 December. Visit www.tasman.govt.nz and use the search phrase “second hand sunday”. Alternatively, register at one of our Council service centres. On the day, put your items out on your driveway or front lawn and attach the downloadable poster (also available at Council service centres) to your letterbox so people can easily identify your address. Responsible removal of any uncollected items is required at the end of the day. To collect items, find a list of the households offering free stuff on our website from midday on Friday 9 December.

Landlords!
I am a 54 year old, clean, single person, employed, who needs a rental. Long term be great! I promise to keep it clean, keep it tidy and treat it like my own. I’m also a good neighbour and live very quietly. I do have an old cat who pretty much sleeps non-stop, but I love her. I have great references and have always paid rent on time, so you won’t have any problem with me. I would love a 2 bedroom, maybe 3, in a quiet location around $350 - $380 per week. Need something pretty soon. Please text or call Steve on 0275 449 448 anytime. Thank you.
