Clay creations for holiday kids Kayla Pemberton (left) of Richmond School and Rebecca Findlay of Henley School were two of a capacity class of 40 children who enjoyed working with clay at Richmond Recreation Centre on Monday.

This was part of Boredom Busters, the popular Nelson Tasman school holidays programme.

Assistant advisor youth worker Hayden Bryant says, “The kids are loving it and we’ve had the full limit on most days.”

Pet pain (from front page) Kharissa says she feels SPCA were a bit hasty to re-home Connor’s cat.

“I’m a big supporter of SPCA and the work they do but I got conflicting stories from their staff about how long Gordie was there before he was vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and collected by the new owners.”

Nelson SPCA inspector Craig Crowley says, “We have 2000 animals through here every year so it’s not fair to expect one of our staff off the top of their heads to know exactly how many days a cat has been here. Legally we’re required to hold a surrendered animal

“

I will search door-todoor out there if I have to, says distraught mum for seven days and in this case our records show it was 14 days before he was adopted.”

Kharissa says, “In retrospect perhaps I should have contacted SPCA earlier (than two weeks after his disappearance) but we were so busy searching around Richmond that it didn’t occur to me he may be in a cage at Bishopdale.”

JUST-IN NEWS

Waimea old girl wins prestigious WOW award

Waimea College educated Julie Brawley has won a World of Wearable Arts award which most designers aspire to win. “ I won the ‘Most Inno- Julie Brawley vative Garment with the WOW Factor’ category which is judged by Suzie Moncrief herself and as she is synonymous with the famous Nelson-founded show that’s pretty special,” says Julie who will re-settle in Richmond by Christmas after a spell in Ashburton.

Mr Crowley has phoned the new home on two occasions, one week apart, to explain the situation and upset of the original owners but says they report the cat is now well settled and they don’t believe there is benefit for any party in bringing the previous owners back into the picture given they intend to keep the cat.”

Connor says, “I want the people who have Gordie to give him back to me because they can’t love him as much as I do. I really want to see him again because I’m really sad he’s gone.”

Kharissa says, “All SPCA could tell me is that Gordie is somewhere in Wakefield because of their confidentiality rules, but I’ll search door-todoor out there if I have to.”

An artist’s impression of the $7.5m medical centre, due to open in eight months Medical centre Building contractors Gibbons Construction have started work on the new Lower Queen Street Medical Centre, six months ahead of the original expected commencement date. The site has been cleared and excavated and footings for foundations should begin this week.

The 2500 square metres, two storey complex, situated opposite Richmond Park and adjacent to Club Waimea and Oakwoods Village, will ultimately contain clinics for GPs, audiologist, optometrist, physiotherapist as well as other medical

services and also a pharmacy and cafeteria.

Together with land value the project is estimated to cost the developers, LSQ Holdings Ltd, about $7.5m.

In recent months Waimea Weekly has guaged a groundswell of support for the centre with most residents indicating favour for a ‘one stop’ medical shop.

Nelson radiologist and a partner in the new centre’s development group Ben Castle says, “The concept of multiple medical-related facilities in one place is in keeping with the

way Ministry of Health is trying to direct health services in New Zealand. It makes health treatment and services that much more accessible to users, many who are not fit to be travelling all around town.”

There are small spaces still available for hire as medical rooms or for retailers and anyone interested in hiring these should email Bronwyn Mansfield (bronwyn@nelsonmedical.co.nz) or Ben Castle (castleb@xtra.co.nz).

The Queen Street Medical Centre is expected to be open for business early in next July.

Probation centre ‘spot on’ says new manager After the initial controversy over having a probation centre built in Richmond’s central business district, Alex Brown, who has been appointed service centre manager, says, “I think local business operators and residents who were concerned have done their homework and are now relaxed about the centre’s function here.”

Alex agrees some folk may have conjured up mental images of high chain-mesh fencing laced with razor wire, spotlights scanning for tunnel diggers and a watchtower occupied by an armed guard.

“But it’s nothing like that at all; far from it. I know from my experience and observation the offenders carrying out community-based sentences who report to a centre in the morning and return after work in the afternoon are gone from the yard within moments of being dismissed.

They don’t loiter here, it’s not where they want to be and in my 11 years with Corrections in Nelson there’s never been a problem,” says Alex.

The building in McIndoe Place is now complete and was blessed by Archdeacon Harvey Whakaruru who also serves as an iwi liason officer with Richmond police.

The centre will accommodate up to 15 full-time and five part-time staff managing up to 120 predominant Richmond-Waimea residing offenders including those on home detention, parole, supervision and community work sentences.

While Alex, a Richmond resident, is in charge of the centre Jeff Holden is senior community work supervisor.

Alex expects when the centre opens on Monday, October 18 it will be without a hitch because Corrections staff and their client offenders have already been working together in the city over several months.

“Richmond offenders have been reporting to the same staff who’ll transfer here, at our temporary base in Paru Paru Road while renovations were being done to our headquarters in Hardy Street. It will be business as usual but from a new base so there won’t be any kerfuffle,”

Richmond Corrections service centre manager Alex Brown outside the McIndoe Place facility says Alex.

“I’m excited to be appointed to manage this centre.

I’m very pleased with the style and location of the building; it’s spot on. And I think Richmond is a lovely town to work in,” says Alex who looks forward to the centre’s open day in early December.

“I think the time has come to open our doors to the public and show them the valuable service we provide in their community. There are a lot of people out there who either have no idea or have misconceptions so we’ll be able to answer all their questions soon.”

Council election stirs feelings but two-thirds yet to vote Richmond acting senior sergeant of Police Mal Drummond doesn’t believe the offender(s) who threw a rock through the lounge window of Tasman District Council candidate Zane Mirfin’s home were, as they claimed, the “rock throwing cowards” who have been smashing properties from Atawhai to Hope in recent weeks.

“I think someone has picked up on the phrase seen on the front page of Waimea Weekly last week and used it for convenience. I think it’s more likely to be someone with a grudge of

some sort. I can’t comment at this stage as to whether or not it is a politically motivated attack with the local body elections in their closing stages,” says Mr Drummond.

A typed message was attached to the rock saying the culprit was sick of Mr Mirfin’s election campaign but agreed it was time for a change, but change to Mr Mirfin’s house rather than to council policies.

Zane’s wife Aimee told Waimea Weekly, “You expect to cop a bit of competitive flak when you’re running for an election such as this but you

certainly aren’t prepared for or should you have to put up with vicious personal attacks on your home. How do you explain this sort of behaviour to your young children?” she asks.

While the attack on Mr Mirfin’s home is the nastiest election campaign-related incident reported in Tasman there has been the usual interference and theft of advertising signage and even an effigy.

Richmond ward candidate Maxwell Clark has his dummy Max stolen from the front of his Lower Queen Street prop-

erty while another Richmond ward hopeful, Murray Kerr, had three of his billboards unscrewed and removed from fences facing Salisbury Road.

Voting for Tasman District councilors closes this Saturday, October 9.

As Waimea Weekly went to print only 35% (or 11,600) of eligible voters has returned their voting forms.

Letter to the Editor

Sir, Please find an explanation of what the Nelson SPCA stands for in relation to surrendered and unwanted animals it receives form the public.

The Nelson SPCA either re-homes or finds owners for approximately 350 dogs and pups each year. When any dog or pup passes our temperament test we commit to finding a home for that wee pet.

Sometimes this mean a commitment of three to four months until a suitable home is found.

In a recent article in the Waimea Weekly about dogs sourced by The Nelson Ark for its extremely worthwhile young person programmes it was stated that; “Death row dogs make the best therapist” The article went on to say; the Ark prefers to get dogs from Control Services or SPCA “which would otherwise have to be put down”.

From the Nelson SPCA’s point of view this statement could not be further from the truth.

In the case of the dogs going to The Ark the dog has to pass not only our temperament test but The Ark’s as well. Any dog that does not pass The Ark’s test returns to the Nelson SPCA and we will find them a suitable home. This in fact has happened.

The Nelson SPCA is fully aware of the limitations of The Arks programmes so only our most re-homeable dogs are offered to The Ark. It is fantastic we are able to offer dogs that are suitable for The Ark’s children and young person programmes and we greatly appreciate The Ark’s help in re-homeing these dogs at the end of their programmes.

These animals are by no means “death row dogs”. They are all re-homeable family pets.

The Nelson SPCA does not euthanised dogs that are re-homeable. We have highly qualified staff that work with our dogs.

Only dogs that cannot be rehabilitated, or are badly injuried, diseased and ill or are aggressive towards humans and unable to be re-home to a family environment are euthanatised.

We as a SPCA Centre, the committee, staff and volunteers work extremely hard to dispel the urban myth that the SPCA family euthanises healthy re-homeable animals.

Craig Crowley Animal Welfare Investigator SPCA, Nelson Editor: Thankyou for clarification on SPCA’s contribution to The Ark programme.

John Bergman of Control Services in Richmond has confirmed some of the dogs which he catches and are taken by The Ark, after other suitable or original owners cannot be found, would otherwise be euthanized.

The Nelson Ark is in the midst of its annual appeal so please be generous if you see one of their collection desks in town.

Recycling at Henley Henley School ran a Recycled Exhibition in our school hall.

School-wide we had been studying the idea of living sustainably and finding out what this means practically. One of the things the children discovered was that they created a lot of waste from lunchboxes and decided to take on the action of taking this waste home to reuse or recycle. We now no longer put rubbish bins out at lunchtimes.

The senior syndicate use recycled materials to create artworks.

The Middle Syndicate children had a home project to create a recycled bird feeder to attract a native bird of their choice to their own back yard. The Junior Syndicate made musical instruments from recycled materials.

The hall was open for parents to come and enjoy the results. It was a huge success with much positive feedback.

The children themselves loved viewing and sharing what other kids around the school had been making.

Olivia Mayne was a winner in the birdfeeder section using recycled materials

Judene, who was on the original Aquatic Centre fundraising committee paid tribute to the dedicated volunteer committee members. “This was an amazing group who worked for years to make the centre a reality. I think it has

surpassed everyone’s expectations,” she said.

The new learn to swim pool will cater for the burgeoning demand for the award winning Swim Magic (learn to swim) school. At present it caters for 1350 children a week, causing a space problem around the pools area particularly in winter with the influx of school groups.

Initially opened in September

2004, the ASB Aquatic Centre continues to go from strength to strength. The Swim Magic programme has won awards at the past two national Swim Coaches and Teachers conferences and the centre celebrated its one millionth customer in July this year.

African safari was no walk in the park

Doing an African safari typically involves a camera, khaki shirts and a quick getaway truck.

Not for a group of Nelson and Tasman districts holiday makers who recently travelled part of the world’s largest continent on their bikes.

Margaret and Tony Gowans, Marie and Peter Hill, Kathryn and David Orange, Mike and Karen Murphy, Wendy and Kim Thorns and Barry and Debbie Johnston biked 600 kms from just outside of Arusha in Tanzania to Zanzibar Island off Africa’s east coast as part of their winter holiday.

They encountered snakes, giraffe, baboons and zebra on the paths they travelled but it was the more the rough terrain that worried the intrepid Nelsonians.

Margaret Gowans (left) & Marie Hill - at home and leading the group on a dusty African trail ``It was so tough, the roads were not in good shape so by the end of some days your neck, wrists and back were all sore,’’ says Marie. ``We covered a lot of distance and were only on tarseal for one day.’’

The tough days, which included an 11km uphill climb, were far outweighed by the views and encounters with locals says Margaret. ``It was like biking through the heart of Africa really. It was just amazing, one morning I woke up and I felt like I was in heaven, the view was so fantastic. And the children will leave a lasting memory for everyone.’’

The adventure was organised by a Christchurch holiday cycle operator who has taken tours to South America, Europe and Asia before the African excursion.

Wattie’s Baked Beans/ Whittaker’s Chocolate Both Margaret and Marie said they would love Spaghetti Regular 420g Block Range 250-260g Limit 4 Assorted Limit 4 Assorted to go back and do another cycling holiday. ``It’s such a great way to see the country, you are right up close and get to see things a normal holiday to Africa wouldn’t,’’ says Margaret.

Although most locals were happy to meet the group from Nelson there were a couple of occasions when they were the victim of rock throwers and one of the members in the group had to leave after suffering a nasty fall.

Superdad Gentleman Jim left his mark alright “Dad often said he wondered if he’d really made a difference,” says Jennie Giles, only daughter of ‘Gentleman’ Jim Burrows who died on September 18 of pneumonia in Wellington Hospital.

“Dad made a difference alright. We all knew it but you only have to hear all the stories coming out since he died to know everyone he had contact with were better off for knowing or meeting dad,” says the NBS Richmond branch employee.

After a 38 year career in the police, including 14 years as senior sergeant in Motueka, Jim led the Civil Defence Emergency Management Group for Nelson-Tasman for 10 years until his retirement in April this year.

In January Jim warned Waimea Weekly readers, “We’re overdue for an earthquake in the NelsonTasman area and the next one will be of Murchison (7.8 Richter scale in 1929) proportions.

That Christchurch was shaken up by a 7.1 jolt two weeks before Jim’s death didn’t mean he was nearly right, or a little bit wrong; but simply that we in Nelson-Tasman now have a meaningful wake-up call and the benefit of lesson learned from

Jim’s daughter, Jennie Giles this misfortune just down the line.

Jim stuck by his prediction and almost certainly through his emergency plan education of the past decade, coupled with the recent all-too-close-to-home quake, his greatest ‘difference’ for the benefit of his community may be yet to come.

Jennie says, “As seriously as dad treated his job, he would have found it highly amusing that his son (Brynn, who lives in Christchurch) had all the civil defence literature on hand but had done

nothing to prepare for such natural disaster because he said he was too busy with a new baby and a two year old toddler to look after. There’s a message in that lesson, though luckily Brynn got a second chance as his home and family weren’t affected,” says Jennie.

Though Jim always gave help and advice to everyone who genuinely needed it Jeannie says, “Mum and us kids were always his top priority. He came to everything we ever did when we were growing up and mum and dad did everything together.

We’ll miss dad so much forever but really we are so thankful to have been blessed to have a dad like him; so many people aren’t that lucky.”

Jim’s widow, Marilyn, lives in Motueka where Jim “broke down the barriers between police and the community,” according to his successor, police senior sergeant Grant Andrews.

Footnote: In 1999 my son Mat won a weekend for two in Auckland as best dressed Nelson Bays rugby supporter the day we won the NPC division 2 final.

While in flight Jim Burrows (on his way to a coastguard meeting) asked Mat where he was heading and for what purpose. Such genuine interest in people’s lives was Jim’s trademark.

Mat told Jim the background to his holiday

Jim Burrows at work in Nelson Civil Defence headquarters with Debbie De Geus early this year before Jim moved forward to chat with the cabin attendant. Moments later the jet airliner’s captain called over the intercom for Mat Goodman to proceed to the cockpit. There Mat sat with the pilots for the last 20 minutes of the flight to Auckland, enjoying a bird’s eye view of the approach and landing.

Jennie says, “That was dad, he did things like that.”

A free breakfast and great giveaways for everyone cycling to work or school next Wednesday, October 13, will herald a change of season for Go By Bike Day. This year Go By Bike Day is coming early to coincide with the Nelson Cycle Festival. The community is urged to use this opportunity to dust off their bikes for the daily commute to work or school now the weather is improving.

This event is traditionally held in February, but this year Tas-

man and Nelson will get the jump on the rest of the country and include the event in the cycle festival.

Sarah Downs, TDC’s transportation planning officer, says it makes sense to be encouraging and rewarding cyclists at the beginning of the summer season rather than at the end of it.

The breakfast celebration is great fun and brings together many community partners, including the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board who promotes good nutrition

and daily exercise.

Active Transport advocates lend a hand to promote cycling’s role in reducing congestion on our roads and the environmental impact of motorised vehicles. Injury prevention workers will be on hand with advice and giveaways to make sure we are cycling safely.

Healthy breakfasts offering food as fuel to cyclists will occur at Village Cycles in Queen Street, Richmond between 7am and 9am.

I have been a Tasman District Councillor for three years and have worked hard to represent the people of Tasman. I will continue to provide a grounded viewpoint based on an understanding of the pressures affecting families, retired people, businesses and the community in general.

Throughout my three years on Council I have learnt a lot about collaboration and cooperation; working to people’s strengths; and community engagement. I have maintained my availability and community involvement without losing sight of the political side of the job – representing the community at large.

I offer my honesty, integrity and a grounded viewpoint. I will continue to be accessible, listen to and be involved in the community.

I have enjoyed my time and worked hard and with the help of your vote, I would like to continue.

Historian Peter Kearns continues his fascinating story of Queen Street’s first and iconic automotive business, Warring’s Garage.

Mrs Zena Williams passed away early this year at the age of 91. She was one of those persons who never seemed to age, maintained a very high standard of personal dress and general demeanour, was a lady to whom you could enquire about anything historical of the district and was always most helpful and accurate with her response.

Zena told the story of her mother who would not permit the servicing in bygone days of the Wilkes funeral hearses on their site, but rather back on Wilkes’ site.

There had been a large wooden decked turntable decreed as a necessity by the Richmond Borough Council (RBC) of the time for the purpose of enabling vehicles in for service to be turned around rather than the danger of backing out on to Queen Street. This was an overkill as the deck/turntable became for use only by the local pipe band. Seldom can they recall any vehicle exiting off the turn table having been turned around on the platform. It did prove to be a source of ready cash for the Williams boys however, as with its position close to where the office cash till was, loose change often dropped and rolled in the direction of the turntable falling between a small slot between the circumference and the concrete cradle. A little ingenuity from the boys saw the use of a crowbar by big brother John prising the platform upwards while little brother

Richard with the smaller hand was able to Val Shirtliff, Norm Strawbridge, Rolo retrieve the silver.

Ray & Zena Williams had seen how free parking in a place such as Rangiora had contributed dramatically to the growth of that town. The plan was hatched whereby free parking be free in perpetuity and the idea was advanced by then mayor Mr Muir McGlashen. There was good support from local MP Bill Rowling which led to a binding covenant on (RBC) and future local bodies being passed through parliament. A similar reversing statute would now be required to facilitate fund raising.

Herb King, the mayor or Richmond at the time, signed off on the deal which included as a first suggestion the car park be called Williams Car Park but the Williams’ requested it to be named Warring Car Park as we know it today. This all occurred about 1967/68. “Free parking looks to be assured for the Richmond community in perpetuity and long may it last.

Ray and Zena Williams were also proponents of Richmond Mall as we see it today stating that it would not adversely affect existing Queen Street retail business and that vision has surely been confirmed.

Tapawera students aim to improve Seven year 10-12 students from Tapawera Area School went to Ashburton to pistol shoot against the students from the local college.

Scores were sent away to Pistol New Zealand to be entered into the NZ Secondary Schools Air Pistol Shooting Competition.

After their match the visitors were given some invaluable tuition from two very experienced shooters. This advice will be taken on board so that they can be more competitive next year.

Just a thought - wishing you all a very crafty Christmas

Footballers wind up great season but unfinished business ahead

By Phillip Rollo Joe Green scooped the major award at the Richmond Athletic Football Club senior prize giving. The inspirational center back’s leadership was a catalyst in the club’s decision to hand him the Player of the Year award over potent striker Wesley Olea, who felt his contribution of 28 goals deserved the accolade.

“The style of football that Joe Green has taught this club, from juniors right up to the First Division, is something that we’ve lacked for a very long time,” says Richmond Athletic President Stu Reid.

“Although it sounds like sour grapes in the afterthought we sorely missed him in that Mainland playoff. After the first goal, without his leadership, we saw that he was something and someone.”

Even before the games his experience increased the team atmosphere. “All throughout the year his ability to get the team together in the changing rooms with a bit of music on, it’s not something that we’ve ever seen at a local First Division level other than watching it on TV.” Fellow import Jordan Yong’s outstanding performances in the latter end of the season was duly noted as he received the Player’s Player of the Year award, and Nathan Jeffree picked up Coaches Choice.

Wesley’s goal tally earned him Golden Boot.

Other winners on the night were Sean Barker and Liam Connolly for the Player’s Player of the Year and Coaches Choice in the Second Division team.

Paul Brown and Hung Pham received the top honours for the Third Division Thistle side, while Cayden Watson and Tim Hall scored for the Stags.

Rachel Shaw was the Player’s Player of the year for the Women’s Team, and

WEDNESDAY 6 October 2010

Jordan Yong’s outstanding performances in the latter end of the season earned him Player’s Player of the Year award Amy Palmer took home Coaches Choice.

Ben Hamson was the Sports Therapy Trainer of the Year, and Matt Watson’s fundraising efforts were acknowledged with Club Member of the Year.

Stu is confident Richmond can reach their goal of playing in the Mainland Premier Football League by 2012, and with Joe currently in the UK, there’s a possibility he could bring some players back with him. “We have to build on what we’ve got.

If he brings a couple of mates, or one mate or whatever, that would be absolutely fantastic.

“It’s just gonna improve football in the whole region, and they’re just gonna give back in coaching and other areas not just our club.”

Richmond will cap off a successful local campaign when they take on College Metro in the Price Charity 1st Division knockout final on October 16 at Guppy Park, Nelson.

I know it’s early but I’ve seen some Christmas advertising already and I’m thinking about the unnecessary financial pressures households feel due to Christmas spending getting out of control. Think back to last January, February and March and the difficulties sorting out the old overdraft and/or credit card debt. Did the overspending cause any pain for the first few months of the year? If the answer is yes; why not make some decisions now that will help rein in the spending this coming Christmas.

An active decision now will help when the advertising is in full swing telling us we need this or that. We end up buying what we thought we wanted, only to discover that we still do not have what we really needed (and the kids spend more time playing with the box than the toy).

Why not have a crafty Christmas this year where everyone in the household makes the presents they give. Or why not have a second-hand Christmas after the whole household gets out and about to the garage sales.

Presents don’t have to be new and they don’t have to be expensive. And the children can join in the fun of racking their brains as to what they can buy for each other at various garage sales – remember the laughs watching the movie Second Hand Wedding.

Now this is not everyone’s cup of tea but for households where last minute impulsive spending causes sleepless nights wondering how to get through the first few months of the year, this could really work. Also, consider the results of the overspending? Hurt relationships as stress levels cause people to fly off the handle. May we remember a more expensive gift does not fill that empty feeling inside. Flash presents do not make up for love not able to be given due to financial worry sapping our emotional capacity to love.

When we lived in a remote part of Vanuatu for two years – some of the coolest toys and presents were ones made from the bush. The right shaped sticks, elastic (yes that was purchased) and

17

some stones caused several weeks of fun in the village as all the local kids took aim at coconuts, birdlife and snakes with their slingshots. A thin bamboo shoot with the Jon Parkes end dipped into St David’s soapy water Presbyterian Church created some of the best bubble blowing toys I’ve seen – it was a craze throughout the community. It’s funny how a bucket saturates a person in a water fight better than a $30 super duper water pistol. Big is not always good … simple is good. Relationships are what’s it’s about – not a plastic fantastic toy that will break within a few weeks.

Take control of spending this Christmas, make it a crafty Christmas and proactively reduce the financial pressure so the household is less stressed and relationships have more laughter. Jesus Christ’s birth is the reason for the season of Christmas – not retail therapy. God Bless.

1948 Chrysler Town & Country After

Lloyd and Graham Heyward love old cars. They love

them so much that they have built a business around them. Their team repair and restore all makes and models of classic cars and no job is too large.

An example of their work is a 1948 Chrysler Town & Country, as featured, which was sent to them from America along with a 1948 Chrysler Seratoga which had interchangeable components and was used as a donor car.

It was a huge job as this rare and highly collectable car had been in a serious accident and was regarded by the American repairers and insurers as impossible to restore. Graham and Lloyd were asked to assess the job using photos of the smashed car and data sourced from the car manual. It was decided that the car could be restored and would be shipped to New Zealand for a complete rebuild.

The American White Ash timber required for the restoration was sourced from New Zealand importers.

The car was shipped back to America earlier this year and will appear in the prestigious Pebble Beach classic car auction where all of the entries have to meet an international standard.

Cars restored by the Heyward Team frequently feature in prominent New Zealand car magazines. The lads work on all makes and models of classic, vintage and modern cars and are happy to call at your place and take a look at your car or discuss your project ideas.

AND

Come to the Open Days and meet the friendly Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers team from left, Mark Bloxsome, Katrina Puklowski, Toni Phipps and Richard Ransfield There are two very good reasons why you should head to Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers Open Days this Friday and Saturday. The first is fairly obvious; it’s a great opportunity to check out their range of quality push mowers, ride on mowers and outdoor power equipment, seek advice about what will best suit your needs and take advantage of brand specialists who will be on site to answer any queries.

The second reason is that this is a great opportunity to meet the friendly guys at Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers and find out why so many locals choose to deal with them. ‘The whole team will be taking time to mix and mingle with our existing and new customers,’ says owner Katrina Puklowski. ‘As a locally owned and operated company, we know the importance of making our customers feel special. They appreciate the way we take time out to keep them happy, that’s why they keep coming back to us. At the end of the day, the buck stops with us. We need to ensure they pur-

chase the right tool for their particular job and our sales team work hard to get that right. If they have any problems, we’ve got a great service team who will make sure they are rectified, and their machinery is returned in excellent working order in the minimum amount of time.’

Recent changes at Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers mean that instead of focusing predominantly on one brand, they now stock a wider range including Makita, Briggs and Stratton, Masport, Maruyama, Oregan and Victa. ‘With such a wide range of brands now available we can offer customers more options and find the best equip-

Locals play significant part in South Island title Ten players from Waimea College, Wanderers and Murchison were involved in the Nelson Bays under-16 rep rugby team which won a dramatic tournament and South Island title at Queenstown. After being well beaten in its first pool match by Canterbury Metro the team, Nelson Bays (coached by Kahu Marfell and Peter Smith) finished second in the group to earn a semi-final against a rugged Otago side. Locked 3-all at halftime, 6-all at full-

time and 9-all after extra time the right to play the final came down to a goal kicking competition and Fletcher Smith kept his nerve to slot the vital goal.

Nelson Bays won a thrilling final against Canterbury Metro 29-25.

Local players were Fletcher Matthews, Luca Roden, Steve Soper, Sean Clementson (all Waimea College), Liam King, Kurt Malietoa, Matt Anderson, Thomas Stilwell,

Brendan Barnett (all Wanderers) and Henry Winter of Murchison.

Meanwhile Nelson Bays under-18 side has also won the South Island title beating Otago 21-15 in the final, clawing back from 8-15 down.

Locals in the under-18 team were Cailan Gibson, Zeke Dyson, Tim Gulbransen, Hamish Parkes and Thomas Cross (all Waimea College) and Sam Ellis of Garin.

Pink Zone softball set to start

Bowler had no qualms about competing in India

Shannon McIlroy, a member of the NZ Commonwealth Games Bowls Triples team, told Waimea Weekly on the day of his departure, “I’ve got no qualms about competing in India. I think what we’ve been seeing on TV and reading in the papers about the state of the Games village and venues is the worst of it I’m sure everything will be in great shape and ready when we get there.”

On the morning of his flight out of Auckland Shannon visited Richmond School where the principal, Tim Benton is his landlord and father of his partnerAmy. Students asked Shannon about his bowls career which includes NZ age grade representation since he was just 14.

Shannon grew up in Gisborne where unlike his second-cousins Rico & Hosea Gear, he chose bowls over rugby.

Right: Richmond School students Max Squire and Paige McCrorie with Shannon

Taya Masoner (6) of Richmond School is looking forward to the start of Pink Zone softball This summer girls will be aiming for pink, hopes softball’s regional development officer Lesley McIntosh.

Softball New Zealand has launched Pink Zone softball, a concept to attract girls to play an exciting modified version of Softball in the hope participants will enter into the full version later.

Apart from the modified rules the feature of the concept is that all equipment and materials are pink. Lesley says Pink Zone softball will start in Nelson on October 16 and she hopes to get enough interest to develop girls-only leagues by the end of the year. Nelson is one of the first centres in the country to receive the pink equipment and it will be available for girls aged 6 to 15.

For more information about signing up for pink zone softball contact dinzo@xtra.co.nz.

Have a go at lawn bowls This Sunday, October 10 Richmond Bowling Club is hosting Have a Go at Lawn Bowls day.

The club, based in Lower Queen Street, has arranged a fun afternoon for all the family from 1pm-3pm.

Member Ken Smith says, “All Club Waimae members are most welcome together with all the league bowlers and Waimae College bowlers as well. In fact everyone is most welcome to come along and enjoy the great game and friendly atmosphere.”

Donations for the Christchurch earthquake appeal will gratefully be accepted.

Expo in Hope highlights positive ageing The region’s third expo on Positive Ageing held on 1 October 2010 in Hope attracted over 1,000 visitors.

The bi-ennial expo held at Hope Community Church in Ranzau Road on International Day of the Older Person was designed as a showcase of the recreational, health and social services available that help make ageing a positive experience.

Tasman District Council Community Recreation Advisor Mike Tasman-Jones said there were 53 stalls. Some of the highlights of the day included wood-turners working with lathes, a tai

chi demonstration, all day music and the Tasman Visual Arts group who worked on paintings throughout the day.

Mike Tasman-Jones said council supported the event as it was a good way to let people know about the products, services and recreation opportunities available.

“The expo is all about building connections and letting people who may be at a time of change, for example facing retirement or new to the region, know about some of the options available for this next stage of their lives,” he said.

Last days for enviro awards Entries for Tasman Nelson Environment Awards 2010 close this Friday, October 8.

entry in now.

Entry forms are available at Tasman District Council offices, libraries and on the website www. tasman.govt.nz The 11 categories include rural, urban design, best use of renewable energy, commercial (emerging and leadership), community/ neighbourhood groups, heritage (sites and events/culture) and environmental leadership.
