Farmer to dine with prince

Sinead Ogilvie It’s business as usual for local sheep and beef farmer John Levy despite the fact he will dine with a future king in a couple of weeks.

The local Wakefield resident has spent years telling people he shares a birthday with Prince Charles, and now at the age of 62, he will finally share a birthday party with him.

Prince Charles will touch down in New Zealand to celebrate the Queen’s diamond jubilee and will dine with 64 kiwi guests that share

his birthday at Government House on November 14. When John saw the opportunity to apply for the once in a lifetime experience, he jumped at it and says he’s pretty excited for the event. “I thought, why not? It’s something I’ve joked about for years, and it’s going to be a unique experience.”

The dress code for the event is yet to be decided but John says he had thought about “rocking up in a black singlet with a can of Speight’s”.

John says while his friends have

started calling him “Lord Levy” because of the invitation, he expects he may not get to chat to Prince Charles but says if he winds up sitting next to him, he’ll have a good conversation. “We’ve actually both got a son called William and he’s a wool ambassador so we have a bit in common.”

John expects a New Zealand menu involving paua and lamb, and he says if the roles were switched and he had the Prince over for lunch he’d probably offer him rack of lamb and some whitebait fritters.

A Richmond video store has $50,000 of debt on its books just because of overdue rentals. The same video store, which does not want its name released, says it is owed $1500 by one man who did not return a console or eight games.

This stems from a policy that says overdue DVDs, games and consoles are deemed “lost” after 14 days and its owner says it doesn’t make extra money from everyday late fees because they have to pay off the ones that go unreturned. “People think we make a lot of money off late fees, but we don’t really because everything that doesn’t come back we have to replace it,” he says. “While you’re getting in money from the people that do pay, it’s really just paying for the stuff that doesn’t come back.”

The owner says he would prefer to have all of his product back on the shelf in time instead of collecting extra money off late fees. “People don’t like paying late fees and we don’t want to lose customers because of it.”

It was well known within the industry that people with overdue late fees would move onto another store and the owner says most customers will have tags on their key rings with memberships to different franchises. “They will go to whatever store has the least fees.”

The largest individual fee of $1500 included a $500 replacement for a lost gaming console and 14 days overdue rental of eight games.

The owner says his staff “do their best” to alert customers that their movies or games SEE PAGE 2

$50k in late DVD rentals FROM PAGE 1 are overdue. This is done via phone calls and text messages.

Sometimes the customer has disconnected their phone or given false contact details.

If a customer has still not returned the items, a debt collection company that works on behalf of nearly every video store in New Zealand steps in. “There’s a friendly letter that says ‘hey, obviously you’re not coming back to the store anymore, it’s been three months and you owe us a certain amount.’ It’s friendly, definitely nothing too heavy and if they kept ignoring it then it comes from their lawyers.

“This particular debt collection company is tied in with NZ Post and we’re constantly getting emails saying ‘Joe Blogs’ is now living in Auckland his address is 6 Green St or whatever.”

The video store owner says it is common for children to lose or break DVDs and parents are often happy enough to pay the flat fee of $25 to replace it. They have the opportunity to source a replacement item themselves if it is a cheaper alternative.

Police abused on its own Facebook page Phillip Rollo Would you tell a police offer that they are “a revenue gathering mofo” or that you don’t pay taxes for them to “hound” your “ass”?

Maybe you wouldn’t to their faces but these are just two examples of what the Nelson Police has to publicly deal with on its Facebook page.

This month’s announcement that the police would begin a “lock or knock” campaign, urging members of the public to lock their vehicles and remove all valuables from view, hoping to prevent a growing trend in theft, attracted 74 comments on its social networking website.

But the attitude from some of the NelsonTasman public may come as a surprise with a handful of Facebook users clearly against the idea of police checking to see if cars are locked and have no valuables within sight.

Lucan Jay wrote: “Go do something productive that’s what you guys all tell us, might want to do it yourselves and catch criminals just saying (sic).”

Lucan was not the only person who thought the police were wasting time. Georgia Doughtery wrote: “Meanwhile people are gettin kidnapd

and raped and murdered and they waste their time f**king around. Revenue gathering mofo’s (sic).”

Tenille Brown called the police “pathedic (sic)” before suggesting they should “go catch criminals for once.”

There were some Facebook users who supported the police’s campaign with Louise Miller saying she was “embarrassed” by the comments.

Detective Inspector Geoffrey Jago says police are aware of the negative comments that get posted on the Facebook page and while this is “disappointing”, it is not the role of police to unnecessarily limit the community’s right to free speech.

He noted that the site was moderated and that it was a “useful tool” for people who did not follow the news.

Internet safety expert John Parsons says it was common for organisations to receive negative feedback on their social networking sites. However, this was the first time he had heard of this activity being directed at the police.

“There’s something about the technology and the separation that allows people to say these things and to be honest, a lot of it is just junk,” says John.

TDC engineering under review Phillip Rollo

An engineering firm could lose a multimillion dollar contract if it is decided that all council engineering functions will come back in-house.

Independent consultants Morrison Low will conduct a formal review on the delivery of contracted professional engineering services by the Tasman District Council, on November 29.

In August, council paid MWH $793,407 with $1,094,766 paid the month prior.

There was no amount listed in the June accounts but May showed $755,710 was paid and $1,128,877 in April.

Tasman District councillor Judene Edgar says engineering accounts for 60 per cent of council’s yearly budget and a “proportion” of that is going to MWH. The ser-

vices MWH provides are around roading, earning office in the country and that’s on the back of Tasman District Council,” she water, storm water and waste water.

The last major review was 12 years ago and says. “The council was keen to review the saw numerous services, that had previ- balance between internal and external delivery of engineering services, not ously been performed in-house, only to provide cost savings, but handed over to MWH. Over a also to achieve greater ownership period of time the outsourced work expanded to include a large of our assets and improved seramount of strategic and planning vice delivery to our ratepayers.” work.

Judene says a highly paid specialist position should not come back But if the latest review suggests in-house if there is not full-time that bringing those services back in-house would be more cost effiwork available. “There’s a lot of everyday work that MWH are docient, it is likely MHW could have ing that actually not only costs us to cut some of its staff.

Judene says this is a major review Judene Edgar. more because it’s at a contract rate because of the amount of money involved with their margins built in but there are with close to $1 million spent each month. also the times when a ratepayer will ring “We give them seven figures a year for their up and say they’ve got a pot hole or whatservices and I believe they are the highest ever, but depending on what and where

Fireworks light up speedway Seven thousand dollars worth of fireworks partied in the skies above the Tahuna Holiday Park Speedway on Saturday with race fans getting more than their money’s worth.

The Coca Cola Fireworks Night always attracts a large crowd and speedway president Kris Carpenter was more than happy with the weekend’s showing, as organisers look to push the limits each year.

Kris says the fireworks were bought

“It definitely gets better every year and we try to keep the budget every year,” she says.

The qualified crew that lights the fireworks have to be approved and are led

by Ian Montgomery of Okiwi Bay, who has been doing the role for ten years.

it is, our staff can’t even deal with it, they have to call MWH.” With two currently separate computer systems, Judene says service logs can be lost and services can be double booked.

“If a ratepayer rings us and we have to ring MWH then that’s already double the amount of time.”

Tasman District Council currently has 21 staff in its engineering department and Judene says it was a reality that if MWH employees lost their jobs, bringing the services in-house would create more jobs at council.

“If they’re good enough quality people then there’s no reason why they wouldn’t get the job. MWH would have a reduced profit margin as a result but we’re not too upset about that as it’s a large international company.”

A&P keep quiet over quake test

Phillip Rollo

The A&P Association will not reveal whether its 89 year old grandstand has passed or failed an earthquake safety review, less than one month before its annual A&P Show.

Opus has confirmed the review has been conducted but would not disclose the results, as it would breach the client’s privacy.

The A&P Association seem unlikely to budge either with property manager and treasurer John Harwood saying “there is nothing the public should know about,”

despite some potential safety risks for all of the attendees of November’s A&P Show if it has failed. “At this stage we’re not reporting on it anywhere, we’re just leaving it until such time.”

John did say that A&P was working with the Nelson Harness Racing Club and there were “still a lot of things to go on” before they could even “think to make a decision on it”.

“At this stage everything is up in the air.”

But Nelson Harness Racing Club president John McKenzie was unaware of the results, saying he has “nothing to do with

the A&P”.

The earthquake review followed the Tasman District Council’s lead when it had all of its buildings tested in July.

The northern grandstand can hold 1000 spectators at capacity. In July, John said the southern grandstand, which was 50 years old, would also be reviewed.

If the results of the review show the stands do not meet safety standards then they would be closed and possibly pulled down.

However the latter would be worst case scenario for the grandstand, which features a lot of brick work.

Public support garden A community garden in Richmond looks almost certain to go ahead.

A meeting was held at the Richmond Library on Thursday night hoping to gauge interest and support for a potential project, replicating other communities around the region. Sixteen people turned up to the meeting after it featured in the Waimea Weekly, with some hoping to seek membership while others offered land, services and materials.

The Waimea Menz Shed at Richmond Park has revealed itself as a potential home while there was also

a representative from a Wakefield church looking for members to join its current crop.

Tasman District Council environment education officer Rob Francis says a working group of eight people has been formed and they will meet from next week to go into more detail, looking at sites and becoming a legal entity.

“It’s not finalised yet but at the moment there are enough people who are keen,” he says.

A South Island leisure marching event attracted 32 teams from throughout the country and its host team, the Tasman Blue Beats, were rapt with the attendance figures. “Everyone had such a great time and it all went to plan,” says coach Sue Cornelius. “It’s definitely growing which I’d say is because of the team spirit. Everyone wants to present their display as best as they can.”

Each team performed a routine that was no

longer than five minutes and teams were not scored or judged.

It was a big week for the Tasman Blue Beats who also had member Julie Golding pick up a certificate of merit at the Sport Tasman Sport Volunteer of the Year Awards. Another local team, the Waimea Wannabees, contacted Waimea Weekly to congradulate the Blue Beats, saying it was a fantastic event.

Mayors and MP battle over rates

An almighty scrap has broken out between MP Nick Smith and the region’s two mayors over council rate increases.

Last week the Nelson MP mailed out his annual survey to voters in Nelson and Tasman in which he wrote rates have increased by 13 per cent per year in Nelson and 12 per cent in Tasman on average over the past decade. He says his figures are from Statistics New Zealand, independent, and he’s “flabbergasted” the mayors would doubt them.

But Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio and Tas-

man mayor Richard Kempthorne on Monday issued a joint statement calling the MPs figures “incorrect” and their release “disappointing”.

Aldo says that Nelson City Council has had an average rate rise of 6.9 per cent over the past ten years says that NCC has been told by Statistics New Zealand that they know their figures are wrong and will be replaced.

“To repeatedly say increasing costs are entirely due to council decisions and use incorrect figures of 12 per cent and 13 per

cent to support his view is both mystifying and disappointing,” he says.

Richard says put the printed figures by Nick down to a proofreading error in the production of the newsletter.

“After a lengthy discussion with Nick regarding the previous use of the figures, that’s the only explanation I can think of.

“This survey and newsletter has been delivered at an important time. In his enthusiasm to promote a wide number of issues including gay marriage, euthanasia and local government reform, he has forgotten

earlier discussions.”

But Nick told Waimea Weekly late yesterday that the mayors must be in “denial” and the figures are accurate. “I stand by the figures in my newsletter. The debt of our two councils has trebled to more than $200 million over the past decade.

“Councils have too often played cute games with their rate increase figures because they know [there are] concerns from their residents. I believe the Statistics New Zealand figures are neutral and can be relied upon.”

Campaign pushes medicine disposal The Nelson Bays Primary Health has funded another chance for people to dump unwanted medicines to their local pharmacy.

In 2009 and 2010 Nelson Bays Primary Health funded the campaign called DUMP (disposal of unwanted medicines) to access information on what type of medicine was being returned, how much was being returned and most importantly to support the safe disposal of medicine.

Caroline Allen of NBPH says close to 10,000 items were returned to pharmacies during the last DUMP campaign.

Hockey volunteer recognised for efforts The Hockey Nelson president of 25 years has been named Sport Tasman’s overall regional sport volunteer of the year.

Diane Proudfoot was awarded the top prize at the Sport Volunteer Awards hosted by Sport Tasman in association with Sport NZ and WHK on Friday morning.

Diane says the recognition was overwhelming. “Being nominated was just fantastic but to actually be the winner is absolutely amazing,” she says.

Also a committee member at the Waimai Hockey Club, Diane can be found at the Saxton Hockey Turf all day on Saturdays and Sundays. She has been part of the organising committee for the artificial surfaces and the new pavilion and is currently on the Hockey Softball Pavilion Board.

Diane believes hockey is continuing to grow within the region and that was epitomised by the Women’s Black Sticks taking on India when the new water turf was opened in 2006.

Diane hopes to attract more international fixtures and was also confident that the Capital side would come to Nelson to play within the next few years.

A second water turf is to be installed but was currently being tendered by the Nelson City Council.

In recognition of her achievement, Diane received a $250 Sport Store Voucher, entry into the selection process to determine the Sport NZ Sport Volunteer of the Year and an invitation from Sport Tasman to attend the Nelson Sports Awards to be held at Annesbrook Church November 28.

Other major winners included Michelle Kirker from Nelson Bays Touch Rugby and Sharon Smith from Gym Sports Marlborough. Two further Nelson finalists were Jo Griffith of the Huia Rugby Club and Paul Hampton from the Victory

YMCA Boxing and Victory School.

There were 342 people nominated across the Top of the South and Sport Tasman’s senior advisor for sport development Steve Mitchell says there were nominations for people who had given many hours of their time each week to help out at the sport they were passionate about. “It makes me very proud knowing there are people in our region putting so much of their own time and effort into sport, into clubs and into their communities.”

From My Desk Nelson offers a backdrop of river tracks, forest runs, the perfect place for a casual walk or training for an event. Returning yesterday from Auckland where I was one of 16,500 competing in the Auckland Marathon event, I completed the ½ marathon.

The Body Shop is my first stop for skin care.

With our harsh sun, I always use The Body Shop’s vitamin C daily moisturiser. Containing SPF30 I know my skin is protected, and love the bright, radiant appearance, leaving my skin soft and smooth, and ending the day with the divine calm heavenly shower gel.

The Christmas range has arrived in the store, and this week is the perfect time to get ahead on your Christmas shopping by buying one full price Christmas product and getting 20% off Christmas Body Butter.

New trees in hot demand Phillip Rollo

An Appleby nurseryman has watched his own trees pop up all over the country as his business benefits from New Zealand’s inability to import them.

Frank Goeddert, who owns Frank’s Trees, has used chance seedlings to create new tree varieties and they’ve attracted the attention of councils around New Zealand.

“We’re stuck with what we’ve got over here so we can’t actually bring anything in. Our gene pool in New Zealand is quite limited,” he says. “I didn’t want to be growing what everyone else was growing. I want to be a leader not a follower. But it is a dying trade. I go to nursery meetings and they’re all old buggers and they think ‘what is he going to know’. Next thing I rock up with my own tree.”

The German-born Wanderers rugby player only works three days a week. He started his own business so he could use the rest of the time pig hunting.

But when Frank isn’t running around the paddock with a rugby ball or scouring the hills for wild boar, he researches different plant varieties, looking for opportunities to create his own.

Frank’s two latest plant varieties are fraxinus purple

spire and candelabra.

The fraxinus purple spire is now a registered variety and has already been purchased by a number of nurseries. The Auckland Council, Marlborough District Council and Gore District Council all have the tree in their street plans and it can also be found at a cemetery in Picton.

Franks says a lot of his exposure came from a write up in a national horticulture magazine and the fact some people in the industry believe it is a quality tree.

Before explaining the process of creating his own tree, Frank points out that humans are all different shapes and sizes. It is the same with trees and he utilises this to his benefit. “Sometimes you find something that has really nice branching, plus it’s got really nice autumn colour and really nice form,” he explains. “I take a graft or a bud off it and insert it into another ash variety. I can make 20 to 30 ash trees from one branch because it has that many buds on it.”

It’s that simple.

“There are so many so many nurserymen that might have worked for 40 years but have never found their own tree because they’re just doing for the money.”

Just a thought...

David Gruschow Political correctness is an attitude and an idea that many of us like to poke fun at. Indeed, I’m sure we can all recall any number of examples of political correctness being taken to extremes, or being applied to trivial situations, that deserve our ridicule. But the other side of the coin of political correctness is the many advances our society has made in recent times in our treatment of those of us with particular needs, or who are perhaps different in one way or another from the majority. ‘Correctness’ in this sense has surely brought many benefits.

Having said that though, one of what we might call the ‘downside’ results of a miss-placed ‘correctness’ is the false idea that all opinions are equally ‘true’ or ‘untrue’ according to one’s own judgement or even feelings.

For all your local banking requirements Call me today and talk to a real person

Christians believe that there is such a thing as truth, and further, that God has revealed this truth through the biblical writers before Jesus, through Jesus himself, and through the biblical writers whose works describe and reflect on the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus.

This truth for Christians then centers on the person and life and teaching of Jesus. Because of this it concerns the way God wants us to act in our world. There are ways of acting, of treating people and our world, that are of God. ‘Treat others as you wish to be treated’ is perhaps one of the best known summaries. Equally though there are ways that are not of God. For Christians, the truths and ways of God are not just matters of personal preference. They are eternal, unchangeable principles that if believed and followed promise real satisfaction and fulfilment in this life and the next.

Lingering over a wine or a beer in the heart of Richmond is the perfect way to wind down after a busy week, and Miles of Food provides a unique and friendly setting.

Tapas is a spanish term meaning toppers. Plates were used to stop flies getting in your drink and were filled with nuts or olives, and each bar had its own signature “tapa”.

Tapas has evolved to a very sociable style of eating, where small dishes of food accompany your wine or beer.

The new Kiwi style tapas menu at Miles of Food features small portions served in unique pottery, to allow those who wish to nibble away at anti pasto, salt and pepper squid or mussels while enjoying a great wine with friends to relax and

Sergeant Craig Barker says it’s important to his staff that they act with urgency to reported crime, and reminds the public that reporting a crime straight away means police can help faster.

The Richmond Police community constables play an active role in local schools and organisations, and Constables Glen Lloyd-Jones and Amber Granger provide a strong presence in Richmond with a personal touch.

Amber was born and raised in the region, and says police officers and their families are integrated into the community, in schools and local businesses.

Craig says a reminder from the Richmond police is to be vigilant in keeping yourself safe.

Things like locking your car, putting away valuables and simply looking out for local businesses and other members of the public are important in putting prevention of crimes first and with summer fast approaching, people need to up their awareness on the comings and goings of the community.

“This time of year we start to get an influx of people that aren’t from Richmond into our community. Help each other out. If you see something suspicious or not quite right, let us

Season begins Brad Neiman showed no signs of winter blues as his driving clinic helped himself and team-mate George Watson to victory in the youth ministock pairs on Saturday night.

The opening night was rained off a fortnight ago, and showers around 5pm had organisers fearful that racing could have been delayed for a further two weeks. Thankfully the rain stayed away as the drivers produced plenty of excitement for the Tahuna Holiday Park Speedway crowd.

The main event of the night was the youth ministock pairs and no one showed more driving nous than the young 17n driver. Brad finished on the podium three times in as many

Youth team coach named Trials for the Nelson Falcons got underway on Saturday although there was one key addition missing.

Head coach Davor Tavich was appointed to lead the reigns in the team’s debut season but he is currently in Auckland obtaining his FIFA Level 3 coaching certificate.

The 46 year old has lived in Nelson for five years and has coached various age representatives teams. Prior to moving to Nelson he coached 15th grade football in Auckland and 13th grade football in Lower Hutt, both teams being in the highest division for their age groups.

Davor says he was very pleased to be appointed head coach of this new team and is excited by the opportunity that the ASB Youth League offers the region’s young players. In the past, Nelson players have had to commit to Canterbury United’s youth team, travelling five hours south every second weekend for home games.

“Nelson has a lot of fantastic young footballers, and I believe we have the talent to compete well in the ASB Youth League,” he says. “I know many of the region’s youth players already, but I look forward to seeing all players keen to play in this team at the second trial.”

races, finishing first place in the final race of the night. His racing partner George was consistent throughout the evening finishing fifth, eighth and ninth place, as the two accumulated more points than any other pair.

Keightly Teece and Roydon Winstanley were the other ministock drivers to raise the chequered flag on the night.

Club president Kris Carpenter was thrilled with the huge numbers in this particular class as it feeds through into other areas when the drivers turn 17 years old. “It’s taken awhile to get them hooked but now the 12 year olds are staying in it until they’re 17.”
