St Arnaud and Murchison speed limits need reviewing Simon Bloomberg Tasman district mayor Richard Kempthorne wants speed limits on the crowded post-earthquake State Highways in and around St Arnaud and Murchison changed “urgently” before there is a fatality. New Zealand Transport Agency figures show that 2700 vehicles,

including 550 trucks, were travelling on SH1 between Christchurch and Picton every day before the road was closed by slips following the massive 7.8 earthquake on November 14. Those vehicles are now using the shortest alternative routes though SH6, 63 and 65, almost tripling the traffic volumes through Murchison and St Arnaud from 1500

to 4200 vehicles a day. Richard says that’s increasing the risk to pedestrians in those towns and making overtaking on the narrow, winding roads difficult. “We are working with the NZTA to see what changes need to be made to all the roads coming from the Wairau Valley to St Arnaud and through to Murchison and Springs Junction,” Richard

says. “The whole section from the Rainbow turn-off to Springs Junction only has limited opportunities for passing and, with so many trucks going in both directions, at times it’s very dangerous. “On the Howard Valley Rd to Kawatiri Junction there are places where it’s quite difficult for two trucks to pass in opposite directions so they may need to put up

some stop-go lights. NZTA need to act urgently and I think they are looking at making changes quickly.” Richard says St Arnaud and Murchison residents also want speed limits through their towns reduced to make the roads safer. He says St Arnaud residents want

the speed limited reduced from 60kmh to 50kmh while people in both towns want the speed limit past the schools reduced to 40kmh. Richard says the large number of trucks parking on the side of the road is also a problem because it reduces visibility for drivers and road space for other traffic. NZTA has stated that the number of trucks using the roads is almost certain to be higher than 550 because all the rail freight is now being transported by road. Richard is optimistic that NZTA will react quickly to the traffic safety issues saying they are likely to use an “emergency process to change speed lim-

Church celebrates 150 years One of the Tasman district’s oldest and most iconic churches was full to overflowing on Sunday when parishioners and guests celebrated St Michael’s 150th anniversary at Waimea West near Brightwater. The foundation stone of St Michael’s was laid on November 24 in 1866 after the original church, which was built in 1843, needed substantial repairs. The white wooden church, which is popular for weddings, has stood the test of time and on Sunday the Bishop of Nelson, the Right Reverend Richard Ellena, led a special commemorative service to mark the 150th anniversary. One of the organisers of the anniversary celebrations Pauline

Bishop Richard’s sermon took us back to structures built in the Old Testament, but emphasised and reminded us the church isn’t the building but the people”. Pauline says a memorial tree was planted by Bishop Richard after the service while people took the opportunity to look around the church and inspect the two quilts gifted to the church by the Waimea Quilters group for the anniversary. The Wakefield Art group also donated paintings to the church to mark the anniversary. The quilts and paintings were later auctioned for a fund-raiser during a celebratory lunch at the Teapot Valley Christian Camp.

Coy says it was a special day for the two congregations of St Michael’s and nearby St Paul’s in Brightwater. The church was filled to capacity with over 130 people, many of them descendants of people who were significant in establishing the church. “We had the Blundells, Kerrs, Mules, Fords and even the grandson of the contractor (W Hastilow) who built the church,” Pauline says. “We also had former members of the congregation and families who had served on the vestry such as the Prices - the Kempthornes also came. “Many couples who had been married at St Michael’s, which is very popular for weddings, were also in the congregation.

Church gets ready for Christmas dinner Simon Bloomberg

lor Brian McGurk, who coordinated the event for the last three years, told the Waimea Weekly he has other commitments and they can’t find a chef so the event is in danger of being canned. And that’s likely to put the pressure on Holy Trinity Church which is hosting its third Richmond Community Christmas Dinner at the Richmond School Hall on Christmas Day. Holy Trinity vicar Susan Gill says the dinner attracted 130 people last year and they are expecting it to be oversubscribed this year if the Mayors Christmas Dinner in Nelson

Organisers of the Richmond Community Christmas Dinner are preparing for an extra busy day after it was announced that the traditional Mayors Christmas Dinner in Nelson may not go ahead for the first time in more than 30 years. The Mayors Dinner, which is traditionally hosted by the region’s two mayors, has made Christmas Day a lot happier for up to 180 lonely senior citizens for more than 30 years. But this week Nelson City council-

doesn’t go ahead. “There’s only so much room at the Richmond School Hall so we can only cater for 150 people,” Susan says. “I’d encourage people to book a place as soon as possible if they want to come along, especially if what they are saying about the Mayors Christmas Dinner is right.” Although there appears to be a lack of enthusiasm for the Mayors Christmas Dinner in Nelson, Susan says the Richmond Community Christmas Dinner has received “amazing” support from the business community, churches and parishioners, as well as Teapot Valley Christian Camp who do the catering. She says churches across all denominations help out because it’s an opportunity to give back to the community. Susan says the churches “think it’s really important to have this dinner on Christmas Day, because it’s a day when people can feel the most alone”. “We have some people come along because of financial hardship but most of them are just lonely. I guess, now that society is becoming more disconnected, there are more people who don’t have anywhere to go on Christmas Day. “There are lots of new people to the district too, so that’s why we put on this dinner. It’s just a lovely time to be together with people.”

Ferry may come to Nelson

GYPSY FAIR: Emily, 5, and Serina Carter, 7, at The Extravaganza Gypsy fair on Sunday at Tahunanui’s Recreation Reserve. The fair ran over both days and featured a range of weird and wonderful crafts, food, drink and plenty of entertainment including the Ashton Family Clown Show, a hoola hoop show, porcelain doll show and several musical performances. As well as exploring the many stalls, the public also got to see the unique accommodation that those involved in The Extravaganza call home. Photo: Jessie Johnston.

Andrew Board A Wellington to Nelson Interislander ferry route is being explored as a “plan B” after the Kaikoura earthquake caused damage to its Picton base earlier this month. Port Nelson infrastructure manager Matt McDonald says they have held preliminary discussions with Interislander about docking ferries at Port Nelson, but stressed that it was a backup. “We’ve had queries from the Interislanders but it’s very much a plan B. They’re just putting a contingency plan in place in case there was damage at the Picton end that would mean they couldn’t berth there.” On its website, Interislander says damage to its Aratere berth in Picton means it will be unable to operate that ship until at least this Sunday. Matt says there are some very serious constraints at Port Nelson for a ferry service. “We’re working with them to do what we can in the short term but if it was going to be a long term change then yeah, that would have major ramifications for the rest of our operation. It’s not just as simple as setting them up and putting a ship on the side of the port.” After the earthquake, Nelson mayor Rachel Reese asked her deputy, Paul Matheson, to investigate if Nelson could host the ferries. He says his investigations didn’t last long. “Port Nelson were right onto it so I just left them to it. But the council would be supportive under the circumstances.” He says whether the ferries come to Nelson or not, the region is in for a huge summer. “We’re expecting some pretty heavy tourism figures. But we don’t know how many or where they’ll go. But they can’t go the traditional route from Picton to Christchurch, so where do they go? Here. And I don’t know if we’re ready for it – last year was big enough.” Paul says freedom campers in Montgomery car park led to complaints from nearby businesses, but this year could be worse. He says the council will need to be open to allowing freedom campers on city-owned land if there is a big influx of visitors this summer. “We can probably move faster than most [in opening up areas for freedom campers] and if we find 500 in Montgomery, we’ll have to find somewhere for them – fast.”

Rescue: A German tramper has been rescued from the Te Araroa Trail in the Mt Richmond Ranges after becoming unwell. The man has been tramping south along the trail towards the Red Hill area when he became unwell yesterday afternoon. Staff from the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter said the man sought shelter overnight at Tarn Hut before trying to continue on this morning. He soon became unwell again and returned to Tarn Hut before activating his emergency locator beacon. The Wellington Rescue Coordination Centre dispatched the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter to search for the beacon signal. They found him at the hut where he was assessed and treated by the on-board Intensive Care Paramedic before being flown back to Nelson.

Age Concern Nelson Tasman is partnering with driving instructor Garry Dunn to offer the Staying Safe Driving workshop to drivers over the age of 65. The presentation is a package put together by the New Zealand Transport Agency that aims to help the older generations understand the current road rules. Held around six times throughout the year within the Nelson Tasman region, the presentation is free starting with a question and answer and self-review on participants own driving skills. Garry then takes them through a video of different driving situations, stopping to discuss the points that are raised, particularly those that are pertinent to Nelson. The session ends with an open forum where participants can ask questions about certain roads in the area that may confuse them. “Some of the issues they face are the new give way rules which came into effect in 2012 and were the old give way rules that they first learnt,” says Garry. “They’ve had to learn something, then forget that and learn some new stuff and now they have to forget the new stuff and relearn the original stuff and that can be confusing for anyone.” The presentation will also discuss the process for those due for a licence renewal, including how to drive appropriately during the on-road test. “It’s a good way to a brush up on the road rules and either clarify any confusion they’ve got about the road rules or even simply to confirm they’re doing it right,” says Garry. The presentation is free and will be held on Tuesday, December 6, from 10.30am at the Richmond Seniors Hall, 62 Oxford St. Call Caroline at Age Concern on 03 544 7624 or email, support@ageconcernnt.org.nz to register.

Homemade coffins becoming popular Simon Bloomberg Alan Schofield is working on the most important DIY project of his life - building a coffin for his terminally ill wife Joan. The retired Stoke resident has always enjoyed building things, so when his wife became ill he decided to start the ultimate labour of love. And, with some help from the experts at the Waimea Menzshed, Alan says the project has been easier and more enjoyable than he expected. “A year and half ago my wife became ill and it really brought it home that you are not here forever,” Alan says. “So I said to her that I’d make a coffin for her, but I’d make one for myself first to practise so I’d be able to do a perfect job on hers. “It seemed a good thing to do. I like making things and it was a chance to do something for my wife.

“But it’s also been therapeutic and fun. It hasn’t been a morbid task at all.” Waimea Menzshed coordinator Alan Kissell says Alan Schofield is not alone with “three coffins on the go” at their workshop at Richmond Park. In fact, Alan says he has had so many requests for information about building DIY coffins he purchased a manual on the subject for their workshop library. “We have been getting a lot of requests, especially from the ladies, about holding a coffinmaking class so we might have to organise that,” Alan says. “It’s becoming quite popular, they even have a coffin building club in Rotorua now.” Alan says the style, quality and cost of home-made coffins varies widely. One of the coffins being constructed at the Waimea Menzshed is a work-of-art, made using recycled rimu from two pews

from St Barnabas Church. “We have one being built here now that is a real Rolls Royce of coffins and another two that are more straight-forward. It all depends on what you want. “One of the guys in Rotorua built a coffin for himself and it was pretty plain so he stuck his jean’s pocket on the inside as a decoration. He told his mates it was so he could put his wallet in it and take all his money with him.” Alan says people are building homemade coffins for a number of reasons with many saying they simply want to be prepared. Others don’t want to burden their families with the cost of a commercial coffin which can range from $800 for a basic custom wood casket to $8000 or more for a solid timber casket. Anyone interested in building their own coffin can email the Waimea Menzshed at mens. shed.waimea@gmail.com

Symphony Orchestra celebrates 50 years Brittany Spencer The Nelson Symphony Orchestra celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a concert on Saturday. The evening concert at the Old St John’s had the sounds of overtures, symphonies and soloists flowing through the building and out into the street as loyal supporters of the orchestra filled every seat in the old church. The orchestra began the evening with Reznicek’s Donna Diana overture before moving into a five piece anniversary Haiku by John Rimmer, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with piano soloist Buz Bryant-Greene, Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in D major with trumpet soloist Raffaele Bandoli and Symphony No.1 by Sibelius. Initially founded in 1966, the orchestra was comprised of 30 players who gave their first concert in May 1966. Two members of this group remain in the orchestra today, violinist Virginia Ward and

double bass player Allan Hunter. “I came to Nelson in 1964 and was fortunate to meet Richard Harris, he was responsible for getting the orchestra going with Frank Clayton Oxley and John Davis and they persuaded me to take up my violin,” says Virginia. “It’s been a huge part of my life, playing all these wonderful orchestral pieces with so many other musicians and I’ve been very privileged on occasions to play piano concertos as a solo pianist with this orchestra, so it’s been a very exciting journey and I’ve seen a lot of people come and go.” Double bass player Allan Hunter remembers being blown away after receiving an invitation to join the orchestra as a 19-year-old, and 50 years later he echoes Virginia’s experience. “It’s been a big part of my life for fifty years, and it’s a massive milestone to reach, we’re only 25 years younger than the New Zealand Navy!”

Woodworkers donate to Christmas appeal Jessie Johnston

Members of the Nelson Guild of Woodworkers are putting their skills to good use, donating handmade wooden toys to the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. The group is mainly made up of hobbyist woodworkers, although there are some professionals amongst them, who have a passion for all types of woodwork, from cabinet and furniture making to toy making. As well as working in their own workshops at home, the guild also meets once a month at Nayland College’s technology rooms to discuss the art of woodworking and learn from demonstrations. “Each year the guild has a challenge for members, they’re usually given a piece of wood from the guild suppliers and told to make something. This year we just decided to do something that was charitable and thought the best thing would be to make some toys and then find a worthy benefactor,” says guild president Bill Filmer. Around 20 toys were crafted by hand including trolleys, puzzles and toy trucks. After being on display in the Richmond library, they were handed over to Salvation Army staff on Monday morning. “Wooden toys last forever, very rarely do you see wooden toys breaking or falling to pieces and, because individuals have put love into the process of making them, I think they’ll be very well received,” says Captain Kenneth Walker of the Nelson Tasman Salvation Army. “I think it’s wonderful that people would do that. They’ve created something of value and of beauty and we want someone to enjoy that.” While this is the first time members of the guild have worked together to create items to donate, as members of other organisations such as Lions, they are often involved in community projects. “As a guild, I thought it was about time that we actually promoted ourselves, because a lot of us are getting older and we’re hoping this will help to get new people interested in coming along,” says Bill. “They don’t have to be competent woodworkers because we all learn from each other, that’s the idea of the guild.” For those interested in learning more about the guild. visit www.ngow.org.nz

Working from Plans

I heard about the great service at ColourPlus in Richmond so walked in with my new house plans with wallpaper in mind.

I was very happy with the customer service and range of products with selecting feature wallpaper for the house so it was an easy choice again to get ColourPlus to help me with drapes and blinds for the new build.

The team at ColourPlus were knowledgeable and had some great advice using my floor-plans, colour charts and flooring choices to narrow down options, initially from off the plan, through to selecting samples to complement our colours and floorings and importantly fit in with our build budget, finally installing them to a fantastic finish to our new home. I can highly recommend calling it to see the team at ColourPlus for a great product range, friendly and knowledgeable service! – Jane Fairs

Opinion

Your Voice Kindergarten teacher for hospital: This is such good news! A refreshing change for kids and a welcome distraction for parents. Hannah Ippolito. I actually cried reading this. Having spent many, many nights in hospital, as well as lengthy stays of 30 days with my then five year old, I can say that this is amazing for Nelson. Just wish it had been introduced in time for my daughter Gabby two years ago. Megan Stephens. Yes, I can remember something being set up in the children's ward years ago and it catered not only for preschool age but also for ages up to 16 years. So good to hear this news. Juliet Leaupepe. Awesome, great to have some distraction to fill those long hospital days. There's a lot to be said for play therapy. The Christchurch room was a god send and the staff were amazing and helpful when it came to age-appropriate explanations for procedures and surgeries. I hope this is part of the plan in Nelson! Megan MacGibbon.

safely. Always feels worse when you are separated from the family. Good to hear you put your big girl pants on and were brave. Clare Prangley.

Minority ruining it for everyone else. The longer we let these small-minded people get their way the worse it will be. Stay open and let the public deal to the losers who want to take everything away. Enjoy your weekends and maybe even return to annoy those neighbours. Kevin Smith.

Nice to have you home safe and sound. Andrea Martin.

Very sad, but not surprising. There are some moaning people at Monaco. Years ago my friends daughter went to put her name in pebbles on the beach and a local lady told her to put them back 'we like them where they are' - as though she owned the shore. Emma Mcleod. There are some right misery guts types in Nelson. I loved my ride to Monaco for a coffee, I hope all the complainers get a very painful unhealing boil on their rear end. Lena Harrison. Mum and daughter caught in Kaikoura quake: Oh wow Jaunita, that sounds so scary for you and Lucy. So pleased you managed to get home

Omg, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so pleased youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both ok and back home safely. Sarah Richard Inglis

What a terrible experience. So glad you are both home. Judy Bartsch. Toilet paper stolen from school: Just shows what the society of today's times are creating in that peeps are stealing things like toilet paper. Maybe it was a small comfort in bad times that such an item taken for granted by others was like Christmas to some one else. Tania Laing. Nelson author wins award: Wonderful achievement. Marley Mcleay. She must be the only one stunned by such an amazing achievement; we knew it already! Janine Kapa-Blair.

WEDNESDAY 30 November 2016

with Jessie Johnston

‘I’m angry and lonely’, Wednesday, November 23: The Brain Injury Associations collection table outside Farmers received a huge amount of positive support as “a far better alternative from Hone” - at least 50 people commented as they passed on Saturday. However, collections were disappointing with just over $1,000 raised although many passersby were tourists. Since the Waimea Weekly article, John has been approached by several people offering encouragement. The Brain Injury office also received an email from a sales rep offering to take John out on their run around the beautiful Richmond to Murchison district. Waimea Weekly wishes to clarify that John has had huge support from his mum and dad since the accident and it is other family members that John does not have contact with. V8 Cruise, Wednesday, November 23: Over 50 V8s escaped from sheds around the Nelson area for the second annual running of this popular fund-raiser. The route took the cars on a 145km tour through the countryside with a lunch stop at Mapua then back to The Brightwater Motor Inn for a little 50s/60s music and prize-giving. Prizes all kindly donated from local businesses. The carpark was over flowing with classics from a 1938 Chrysler Imperial to a late model Dodge Viper and even a Volkswagen Touareg [V8 of course]. Some of the ladies and gents dressed up in 60s gear to add to the fun and all looked very smart. All in all it was a very successful event with $1100 raised for our local Hospice. Watch out for this event next year

Car salesman closes deal on long career Simon Bloomberg Garry Sefton can clearly remember the first car he sold - it was a mustard-coloured 1972 Valiant Ranger and it was purchased by a farmer from Kimbolton. Thirty-six years, six car dealerships, 150 buying trips to Japan and “about 7000 sales” later Garry has retired, making his final sale at the Car Company’s Richmond yard last Friday. And he did it in style, wearing only underpants to celebrate the end of career that started selling Holdens, Cortinas and Valiants and ended with Nissans, Toyotas and Mazdas. “I started at Bowling Motors in Feilding in 1980 but I only got into car sales by chance,” Garry says. “I was just doing odd-jobs after I left school and I’d never sold anything in my life until I helped out a friend who was taking aerial photos of farms. “I sold heaps of them for him and really got a buzz out of closing a sale so I thought I’d apply for the job at Bowling Motors. I got the job and they told me if I sold more than 15 cars in a month I’d get a bonus but they changed that to

got a much better car with air con, electric windows and power steering for a cheaper price. “When I started, I would sell a Mark 4 Cortina for $8000 to $12,000. Now, 30 years later, I’d sell a nice Nissan Tiida for the same price and it’s a much better car. Although car salesmen often get a bad rap, Garry insists “it’s a profession these days” and all the “cowboys” have been forced out. He says car sales wouldn’t survive if they weren’t totally honest and professional. Garry Sefton is retiring after 36 years of selling cars.

NELSON YACHT CLUB Newly re Novated

Nelson Yacht Club could be the perfect venue for your next event, offering stunning views and the freedom to create your occasion exactly the way you want it. Found upstairs, right next to Nahm restaurant, Aurora Lounge has recently undergone a transformation in order to create a fresh new look for those seeking a picturesque venue. With a new paint job, curtains and carpet, the space is already receiving great comments on its appearance and the Nelson Yacht Club is keen for people to make the most of it. The hire arrangement offered by the club couldn’t be more simple, they will hire out the lounge, includ-

ing chairs and tables, to comfortably seat 100 guests, and the rest is up to you. Unlike other venues where you’re restricted in who provides your food and drink, the Nelson Yacht Club gives you unlimited options when it comes to choosing beverages, decorations and catering staff. The club’s full kitchen facility features an electric and gas oven, two chillers and a bar where you have the choice of using bottles, kegs or a mixture of the two. While there is no rice, confetti or glitter permitted in the Aurora Lounge, Nelson Yacht Club’s philosophy is to treat the venue like it’s your own home where your guests are free to celebrate into the early hours of the morning. Many who choose to hire the lounge often do so for 24 Nelson Yacht Club’s Aurora Lounge has everyhours, starting at 8am in the morning of their thing you could want in a venue.

As well as having a dance floor in the centre of the room, Aurora Lounge has one feature in particular that makes it a perfect, unique venue – the view. While an outdoor venue comes with the risk of bad weather, the Aurora Lounge offers the perfect combination of outdoor and indoor spaces for your guests. Looking out over the mountains, harbour entrance, the Boulder Bank and, on certain evenings, colourful sunsets, guests can enjoy this beautiful scenery from inside if they’re seated or they can mix and mingle on the balcony which extends out over the water. Whether you’re looking for a wedding, special occasion or conference dinner venue, there is no place better suited than Nelson Yacht Club’s Proud to support the Aurora Lounge.

Consumer-owned local electricity distributor Network Tasman has announced $3.5 million of discounts will be credited onto its consumers’ December power bills. “Network Tasman is pleased to provide an end of year discount at the same level as our December 2015 discount,” said Network Tasman CEO Oliver Kearney. “This discount will bring the total paid to consumers in 2016 to $11 million.” The company’s 39,100 consumers will receive a discount that is based upon the amount of power used, but an average residential consumer using 6,900kWh per annum can expect a discount of $57 on their December power bill. To be eligible a consumer must have had an active, metered connection to Network Tasman’s electricity distribution system as at midnight November 18. The network covers the Nelson-Tasman region, excluding the central Nelson area. The company is currently arranging for electricity retailers to credit the discounts onto consumers’ power bills from late November through to the end of December. The discount will be clearly identified as a separate item. Network Tasman has handed out over $140 million of discounts back to consumers in the region since 1994.

human. Science helps us to understand the world but they cannot create mindfulness or conscience, yet. So then where did conscience come from? As a Christian, I believe that it comes from God. When we came to this world in a body, we also came here with God. When we came into this world, God was already here. God is still with us now and God will be with us always. I cannot imagine the world without science, but also I cannot imagine the world without God.

Glory days recalled at reunion There was a lot of reminiscing and “a few lies” too at last week’s reunion of retired soldiers from the Nelson Marlborough West Coast Regiment held at Club Waimea. The reunion attracted 86 soldiers from around the country who joined the regiment after serving under the compulsory military training scheme which ran from 1950 to 1972. One of the organisers, Pete Nicholas, says they wanted to have a reunion while the soldiers, who are all in their 70s and 80s, were still able to attend. “I’m 78 and I’m one of the younger ones,” Pete says. “We even had Eric Arnold there - he’s 86 and served in the first intake of CMT, so we are all getting on. “There was a lot of talk about holding another reunion in 10 years time. Everyone was keen on the idea but I don’t know if many of us will

Although many of the soldiers hadn’t seen each other for decades, they immediately recognised each other and started talk-

ing about their time in the army, Pete says. “We all had name tags but they didn’t need them. Many of the guys hadn’t seen each other for 30 or 40 years and they still recognised each other straight away. “They all talked about the old times and the experiences they had together. They told a few lies, of course they did, and

they had a lot of fun.” Retired Special Air Service commander Colonel Bernard Isherwood of Nelson was guest speaker at the reunion and Pete says he talked about the role of SAS. Bernard told the soldiers at the reunion that New Zealand can have confidence in the duties that the SAS performs “quietly and successfully.”

A custom-built book exchange described as “more magical than the Tardis” has opened for business in St Arnaud. The exchange, which is available for locals and visitors alike, is the brainchild of local couple Jan and Robbie Thomson. “When we first arrived in St Arnaud seven years ago, we could see there was a need for something like this,” says Jan. “The nearest library is 45 minutes away and we thought something closer would be great, especially in winter.” She says the exchange is already a great hit with local children, who are proving to be discerning readers. “One kid took away the complete

works of Shakespeare, another took a dictionary,” she says. “I help out at the school library and love seeing kids take an interest in books.” Building the book exchange was a community effort with Destination Nelson Lakes securing funding from Tasman District Council and topping up the grant to cover the materials. Resene NZ gifted the paint, and builder Robbie donated his labour. Pupils from Lake Rotoiti School designed and painted the building with help from local artist Emma Panting, and community members supplied the books. The exchange is situated next to the Alpine Store car park. Anyone is free to leave a book or make a koha in the store to support the Westpac rescue helicopter.

Local shooter wins national title Richmond shooter James Simpson came out guns blazing to win the 2016 New Zealand National Compak Championship hosted by Hutt Valley Clay Target Club. James out-shot 100 other competitors, including 10 Australians, to claim the title on November 20. The competition was held over four days. Thursday was a trophy match that James won with a score of 99 out of 100; Friday was the North Island Championship, where James shot a 95, which didn’t see him get a placing; and Saturday and Sunday was the National Championship – James shooting 194 out of 200 to take the title. Although he went into the competition with certain goals, he didn’t expect to walk away with the national title – “although to shoot 99 out of 100 on the first day kind of set the bar”. James admitted feeling the pressure over the last 25 targets. The weather was also a challenge for everyone, encountering all four seasons over

Multi-talented Cameron awarded scholarship Simon Bloomberg

Waimea College student Cameron Jones has been awarded the McGlashen Pharmacy Young Achiever Scholarship for 2017. The annual scholarship, valued at $1000, is awarded to students under the age of 17 who live in the Nelson-Tasman region and excel in a range of activities including sport, academia and arts. McGlashen Pharmacy owner Andrew McGlashen says although the quality of applicants for the scholarship was exceptionally high this year, Cameron’s achievements stood out. The year 11 student excelled in multi-sport and mountainbike races as well as receiving outstanding grades at school. “The applicants were very good this year - they are good every year - but Cameron is a standout,” Andrew says. “The thing that impresses me is that he is talented over multiple disciplines.”

Cameron was a member of the Waimea College Get2Go adventure racing team that won the national title on Great Barrier Island late last year before winning a national title at the GO-4-12 New Zealand secondary schools adventure racing championships at Kaiteriteri in April. He also received an overall excellence award for academic achievement at Waimea College senior prize-giving earlier this month and is a member of the school orchestra. Cameron says he’s delighted to receive the scholarship and will use the funds to help pay for some multi-sport equipment. “I have quite a bit of gear I’ve accumulated over the years but it costs a lot to compete in multi-sport so this scholarship will really help,” Cameron says. Cameron says his next big sporting assignment is the Kathmandu Coast to Coast two-day race in February 10-11.

Garin rugby set to soar at Condor 7s Jacob Page Garin College is set to make the most of their ever improving rugby stocks by sending a 12-man team to the Condor Sevens this weekend in Auckland. Garin College director of sport Brad Allam says the young team that made the final of the regionals before losing their undefeated record to Nelson College. Garin won five games convincingly on the way to the final. We have 249 boys but we have plenty of talent. “We started a rugby academy a year ago where the boys train three times a week in the morning and the boys are starting to see the progression of their work “That’s where our under-16s have improved, they went unbeaten until they lost the final.” Garin had eight age-group representative this season, more than double the usual amount.

There were no changes made to the UC Championship format for 2017 after the Canterbury Rugby Union met to discuss it a fortnight

ago. “This is why we pushed so hard for the (Waimea) Combined team,” Brad says. “Without it, where would these kids be playing? As it stands now, these kids have a pathway to Super Rugby within the Tasman region which is exciting. I think there are two or three players here who can be professional rugby players.”

Zenith defies conditions to claim Tonga Island race Jacob Page

The Rob Greenwood-skippered Zenith took line honours in the Tonga Island Yacht Race on Sunday in conditions he described as "very challenging". Zenith finished the 50 nautical mile race in seven hours and 40 minutes, having battled 40 knot winds which pushed the boat sideways at times and meant crews were working throughout the race. "It was one out of the box," Rob says. "You expect a breeze this time of year, but it was very stiff. "I’m shattered today and can barely walk. "The race began off Nelson with little to no wind, but

Zenith was second when the boats reached Tonga Island but re-took the lead early on the way back to Nelson and extended it as they crossed the line. "It was a good field of boats and we were very pleased to cross the line first. "The conditions made things quite exciting." Next on the list for Rob and Zenith will be a race around the North Island in February. which is likely to have a big fleet of strong sailors taking on what can be challenging and unpredictable race conditions. Full category results will be known by Wednesday.

Nelson five set to take on bowls world Jacob Page Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Veteran Nelson lawn bowler Jo Edwards says she will relish the pinnacle of her sport – a world championships – being held in Christchurch from November 29 to December 11. The 46-year-old from the United Club is part of a strong Nelson presence in the New Zealand Black Jacks bowls team that will take on the rest of the world at Christchurch’s Burnside Bowling Club. She will be joined by fellow Nelsonians Val Smith, Ali Forsyth, Kirsten Edwards and Shannon McIlroy – with all but Shannon

being produced by the United Club. “I know there are international journalists coming over for the tournament who want to make a special trip to Nelson just to try to get a feel for why we produce such good lawn bowlers so consistently.” Jo is entering her fourth World Championships, the same as long time team mate and rival, Val. The pair are poised to bring up 500 caps for New Zealand during the event, She has won it all in a sport she first decided to play “for only one season” in 1992. “Val and I played cricket together, she was in the seventh form and I was in the third form.

“We also played soccer and that was our first love, but we decided we’d try bowls and the rest is history.” Jo says she has always rated World Championship success higher than Commonwealth Games glory, but admits the public probably see it differently. “When I won the Commonwealth Games I got a brass band at Nelson Airport to welcome me home, but when I won the World Championships I got my Mum and a couple of family members.” Jo says having home advantage is a plus as the team, which is in camp, has the chance to train in the conditions. She says with home advantage there is pressure.

“New Zealand has some of the fastest greens in the world, especially compared to the Northern Hemisphere, where they also play a lot indoors. “It’s an advantage being at home but that also raises the stakes. “People have expectations but then again, as a squad, we have our own expectations and they are high." Jo says she will continue to play for New Zealand as long as the passion remains. The sport is far from professional but Jo says the benefits are still there. “I generally think about my options after a World Championships or Commonwealth Games because you have to be able to commit to another two year cy-

cle. “It does cost a lot for us to go around the world and represent New Zealand but we get treated well, our uniforms are nice which not all countries can say is the case and we are looked after in terms of preparation and comfort." The emergence of sport psychology is one aspect Jo has had to get used to. “When I first started it wasn’t really a thing, but it’s grown in importance and value and I just try to adapt. I’ve found it useful and certainly learnt a lot from it.” Jo is set to move to Brisbane in the New Year which makes the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast all the more appealing.

Bishop’s swimming renaissance Jacob Page

Nelson Sports Awards winners

Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Sea swimmer Bishop Derek Eaton is proof a long hiatus is no barrier for making an impact in your chosen sport late in life. The 75-year-old won the Masters Sportsperson of the Year category at the Nelson Sports Awards at Annesbrook Church on Friday night, thanks to his efforts in the water which now have him ranked in the top five in the world for his age. Derek was the Bishop of Nelson for 16 years and only got back into swimming in 2009 after being posted to Egypt. “I thought I had to do something to stay fit and you can’t really run around Cairo without drawing attention to yourself.” Derek held several age-group pool records as a teenager but left swimming in the 1960s. “It’s never too late to start and I want to accept this award on behalf of all older sports people.

Photo: Supplied/Peter Gibbs. “My inspiration comes from the weekly Port Nelson sea swims which can gather almost 200 people on a Thursday night. “Ocean swimming is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and I never thought I would reach the heights that I have.” Derek thanked his wife and those in the swimming and triathlon community for their support.

“My wife helps me train, and being able to swim stops me getting fat and keeps me off the streets. He also joked about his relationship with God. “A lot of people think that I am helped in the water by some divine intervention but I am here to tell you that help is available to everyone. “I’ve been accused of, when the other competitors aren’t looking, running on water,

Recent ant observations in Nelson have revealed the presence of Argentine ants in large numbers in certain areas. With summer on its way, it is time to start planning what methods to use to control argentine ants. In past years there was really only one option and that was to use bait. If not applied correctly, and if neighbours did not treat at the same time, then control was not of the expected levels for the price paid for the product. The last two seasons have seen the use of a now tried-and-proven method of getting long-term control of argentine ants for a reasonable outlay by the householder. The X-IT Ant™ programme relies on the use of at least two, possibly three, different products to achieve ant control. To get the best result from your X-It Ant application your sprayer must have no spray residue from the previous use of insecticides (e.g. Ripcord®Plus) Best results are achieved when a new sprayer is used and only X-IT Ant is used in it. X-It Ant works by being non-repellent to ants so that when they walk over the dried spray residue they pick up the insecticide on their feet and take it back to the nest where the ants preen each other, and thereby pass the insecticide onto other ants, including the queen. Ant colony control is achieved once the queens are dead. You must know where the ants are for successful treatment, so a full inspection of the

property is required, so check all these places: Sleepers, trees, curb and channelling, driveways, paths, gardens, compost heaps, all fences including the wire or boards, rails and posts, pergolas and plants growing on them. Firewood piles, downpipes, rubbish bins, bbq’s, outdoor furniture, pot plants, vehicles, decks and any trees overhanging the boundary. The best time to look for ants is in the heat of the day when they are most active.

1. X-It Ant™: 225mlpack(OnlyuseOUTDOORS). Spray all ant trails, path edges, driveway edges, curb & channelling, fences including posts, rails, pergola posts, etc. Tree trunks require a minimum 1 metre band up and around them. Bushes / plants that touch the house need to be pruned so that they no longer do so. Spray a 1 metre band up and out all the way around the exterior of the house.

2. Bi Force® Granules: 500g shaker pack

In gardens, long grass, compost, and any areas where X-It Ant™ cannot be applied successfully.

3. Dust 2 Dust™: 100g puffer pack

Use for the killing of ants in wall and ceiling cavities, cracks and crevices, under inaccessible decking, under cupboards and into retaining walls. Business Update. Adv.
