A spree of thefts from cars in Brightwater has police urging residents not to leave valuables in their car and keep it locked – even if it’s up your driveway.In the past six weeks there have been 12 to 15 motor ve-hicles reported broken into and ransacked, a figure usu-ally seen over an entire year, says senior constable Peter Cobeldick, of Wakefield. He states the number is probably higher, with some break-ins going unreported. The thief targets unlocked cars, taking mobile phones, iPods, cash, passports and wallets; someone even re-ported that a box of Kit-Kats was taken. A pattern is beginning to emerge, says Peter. Locked cars in the same vicinity were left untouched and no property has been damaged, so those who secure their vehicle are less at risk, but it’s also important not to leave valuables in the car he says. Coming into school holi-days, Peter urges parents to keep an eye on their chil-

dren. Though it is not neces-sarily teenagers responsible, parents should contact the police if they notice their child with anything suspi-cious, like new electronics or cash. “We need to know so we can hopefully nip it in the bud and catch the culprit, or culprits. We can’t work blind,” he says.A victim of the crime spree says that he was absolutely amazed at the police re-sponse. “I can’t get over how efficiently and quickly they responded. I have every confidence that they’re do-ing everything they can.” His car was parked on his property and the theft hap-pened overnight. As he was leaving for work in the morning he says that he no-ticed immediately that the car had been interfered with; the doors were open and the contents of the glove com-partment were strewn on the seat. Having lived in Brightwa-ter for several years with no problems, he was alarmed that this could happen at his own house; “It was a little bit of a wakeup call.”

Egg-cellent celebrationThere’s no better way to cele-brate World Egg Day than a free breakfast of scrambled, poached and boiled eggs – just ask Ewing Poultry.The Main Rd Hope-based com-pany will be putting on a free breakfast this Friday morning for fellow egg lovers.The breakfast runs from 7am-9am and will feature plenty more than just the little white egg says owner Gwen Ewing.World Egg Day was first started by the International Egg Com-mission.In Austria, a giant balloon took to the skies to celebrate World Egg Day. But Gwen wanted to celebrate the day a little closer to home. “Although it is celebrated in New Zealand, it’s not celebrated here, so we didn’t want Nelson to miss out,” she says.As you can imagine, catering won’t be easy, but Gwen says they’re sure they will cope re-gardless of how many come. “There’s going to be egg ome-lettes, bacon and sausages with egg, we’re doing eggs benedict and there’s colouring in compe-tition.”So when the children are fin-ished their breakfast they can colour in Humpty Dumpty sit-ting on the wall. “We’re also do-ing a poached egg competition where the public can have a go and there’s also egg and spoon races.”The day will go ahead regardless of the weather.

Jill Ewing of Ewing Poultry will be serving up a free breakfast for egg lov-ers this Friday morning. October 14 is World Egg Day and Ewing Poultry are jumping into the celebrations with colouring competitions and egg and spoon races too. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Olympians make a splash at Aquatic CentreOlympians Corney Swanepoel and William Benson dived in to the ASB Aquatic Centre on the weekend, part of the Olympian Stroke & Skill Clinic. Boys and girls of all ages were given lessons on starts, turns, technique, and nutrition and they even got a chance to race with and against their heroes. Former swimming champion Paul Kent, who is now the director of the Magic New Zealand Swimming Academy, was also in attendance.SwimMagic Central/Southern area manager Lisa Stove says it was an “awesome” event and something that will be looking at holding at least once a year, after the superb feed-back from the swimmers.

“The feedback was that they would certainly do it again and that every-body learnt heaps,” says Lisa.There were six clinics held during the weekend with each of them hold-ing up to 28 swimmers.Lisa says it was particularly impres-sive to see Corney and William get in to the pool themselves and have a swim around with the kids. “The personality of the guys was pretty special really. For them to jump in the pool with all the kids was just really great. I think they all enjoyed it, especially both Corney and William.”Lisa is now looking at ways they can bring them back, despite Corney’s busy schedule in the lead up to the London Olympics next year.

The school holidays are underway, have you got anything exciting planned for the two weeks?

“I’m too old for the school hol-idays. It’s been quite busy [in Richmond] so I just get what I need and get back home.”

Waimea schools help kick off arts festSchool children from the Waimea region took center stage during the annual opening of the Arts Festival – the Masked Parade.Richmond School won a prize for having the most interesting in-terpretation of this year’s theme, Playful Pacifica.Central School won the Supreme Group Award with their whole school in mask and costume, di-vided into sections of earth, water, fire and air.The judges, Annabel Norman, Kath Bee, Darryl Frost and Gem-ma Laing says Central stood out for the overall impact of their en-try. “It was striking, it fitted really well with the theme, it was a very pow-erful entry that had taken a lot of effort and it was great to see the whole school involved,” says An-nabel. Long time Masked Parade entrant Faye Wulff won the Supreme Indi-vidual Mask with an intricate blue papier mache creation; the Su-preme Family Mask award went to the Lowe family with their bright-ly coloured entry Super Star Fish; the Family Judges’ Pick went to the Fraser family; the Individual Judges’ Pick went jointly to Zara Palmer and Sirpa Alalaakkola; the Merry Makers’ Mask award went to Alegria Beat, a Pacific musical group dressed as octopuses, who also won the Best Community Band. The Nelson Arts Festival is a cel-ebration of the arts and continues until October 24.

Barry Holden could not walk though the playground at Waimea Intermediate School without being stopped by students calling out birthday wishes, as he celebrated his 82nd birthday last week.Cleve Shearer, principal at Waimea Intermediate, feels Barry has been a real asset to the staff. “Great guy;” he says emphatically, “he wandered in about seven years ago, came in as a volunteer, and then we started him with small groups. Then one day we were talking in management and we realised that some of the work he was doing was so valuable we couldn’t afford to do without him.”Barry now works as a teacher’s aide three days a week with three different classes, going to the library or the computer rooms, helping with reading and maths, es-pecially with special needs children. “If a kid looks puzzled, I sit beside them and try to sort it out,” he says. He’s able to see things that sometimes the teachers miss, and help on an individual level with students who sometimes need a little more help.Even in the playground the children often run up to him with questions, such as what schooling was like when he was young: “They’re fascinated with anything they consider to be old, I get a lot of strange questions. I tell them the stories about why I got six of the best from the headmaster, all that sort of thing fascinates them, belongs to another day and age, doesn’t it.” Barry retired early, but as he was still in good health, he wanted to do something more. He says this is a good third career; with six grandchildren of his own, Barry feels he has a gift for relating to people of pri-mary school age. He works with year 7 children, but is still cherished by his former students. “I still recognise them all. They come up and high five me, I enjoy that,” he says.

Public trust in the police throughout the Tas-man District has continued to rise, according to a recent survey. Results have been high since the survey was in-troduced four years ago, this year reaching 77 percent, a two percent increase since last year. The survey showed that people are feeling safer in their neighbourhoods and town centres in particular.Response shows that 95 percent of residents feel secure in their safety during the day, and 80 per-cent still feel safe after dark.Overall, 81 percent of people are satisfied with the police, and feel that they respond well to the needs of the community, with 91 percent feeling that the local police staff are competent. Tas-man Police also rated highly for fair treatment of citizens and 88 percent attested that their ex-pectations were met or exceeded.Gary Knowles, commander superintendant for the Tasman Police District, believes the results reflect the high levels of commitment and pro-fessionalism in the force. “We place a lot of em-phasis on providing a professional service and these results are a great accolade for my staff.”He noted particularly the response to the offic-ers during the Rugby World Cup, and the posi-tive feedback they received from locals as well as international visitors.

Trust in police at all time high

Nelson’s used glasses are finding a sec-ond use, thanks to a local club and op-tometrist. The Lioness Club of Nelson and Mat- thews Eyewear have teamed up to col-lect disused eyewear before testing them and then sending them to some of the Pacific’s poorest countries. There, volunteers fit the glasses with locals. Lioness Club of Nelson presi-dent Yvonne Kleiven says the project is extremely worthwhile and helps hun-dreds of people to see again.“It’s a wonderful project and has huge benefit. The people that get these glass-es really appreciate them,” she says.

The glasses can be donated to any Mat-thews Eyewear shop in the top of the South and lower North Island, includ-ing the Richmond store. Matthews CEO Philip Matthew says it is a wonderful project for his business to be involved in. “We’ve been doing this for 20 years and, as a group, collect around 3000 a year and we are hugely grateful for those who donate glasses. They get cleaned, tested for prescrib-tion and then packaged up,” he says.Although thousands have already been collected this year, they say the more the merrier and encourage people to drop off their glasses at any time.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Ben Gill, a ten year old St John cadet, ex-ceeded his goal at the fundraiser he co-ordinated at Henley School. He, and two other cadets, managed to raise $541 through a mufti-day coin trail, with $500 of the effort being donated to the Nelson Events Ambulance Appeal, and the remainder going towards the Richmond St John Youth Division.St John is grateful to Henley School for supporting their work, and feel that this is a fantastic result. “We are very impressed with the boys’ enthusiasm for raising funds for St John, which will benefit the community,” says Sarah McCabe.

Henley School has been awarded two pieces of the Ambulance Appeal Puzzle, an initiative being run through the Nel-son Marlborough district to fund a new St John’s ambulance for events.The fund tally now sits at $24,500, thanks in part to Ben’s contribution.A new ambulance will cost $120,000 and St John appeal co-ordinator says the de-mand is very high, so was grateful for Ben’s efforts. “His enthusiasm has led other cadets in to doing their own fund-raisers as well and it all helps,” says Sarah.For details, or to donate, go to www.st-john.org.nz/nelsonpuzzle.

EYEBRIGHT LAUNCHES THE CHRIST-MAS SEASON: Haka Santas and rugby ball Christmas decorations will be wing-ing their way to all corners of the globe this December, thanks to the bumper pre-Christmas weekend Eyebright has just ex-perienced. The Eyebright Christmas open-ing this coming Wednesday October 12 has been preceded by a major weekend of fes-tive fever as visitors flocked into the store in the hope of seeing the Christmas displays early. Eyebright co owner Adrienne Owen says they have never before seen such a fe-ver pitch of pre-Christmas enthusiasm and excitement. She says people seem eager to put behind them the widespread misery created by the Christchurch earthquakes and the tough economic times. The Eye-bright opening is on this Wednesday from 11am to 8pm.

ViRTUAL TRAIL SALES GENERATE REAL WORLD INTEREST: The Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust has started selling vir-tual sections of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail to individuals, organisations and busi-nesses to help generate funds that will go towards the 172km cycle trail; and interest in the initiative has been huge. Selected sections of virtual trail were sold on a first come first served basis at the official Rab-bit Island/Mapua Ferry open day on the 2 October 2011; by the end of the day over $2000 worth of prime virtual trail had been snapped up by local individuals and busi-nesses, plus one visitor from Australia, keen to display a ‘GPS certificate’ of support. The Trust needs to generate approximately $4m in funds to ensure it can complete the full 172km loop, which will enable national and international cycle tourists and local residents to ride bikes from Nelson airport out through Rabbit Island, Motueka, Ta-pawera, Wakefield and back to Richmond.For more information on how you can se-cure your own unique virtual section of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail go to www.hear-tofbiking.org.nz or contact Fiona Newey on Ph. 539 0266.

Almost 150 students have been ac-knowledged for their contribution to the Arts as Waimea College held their annual arts award ceremony to cel-ebrate both participation and achieve-ment this year.Always the creative types, the cer-emony had a masked theme and the presentations were punctuated with dance, song, theatre and jazz, a fitting celebration for a vibrant sub-culture in the school. “Waimea College is very supportive towards the arts within the school and in the community,” says Trish Sullivan, arts coordinator at the school.The major awards, for overall con-tribution across the four disciplines, were chosen by the heads of those de-partments for students that have both excelled in the subject, contributed within and outside of the school, as well as making a contribution to the ongoing success of the subject in the future. The major award for overall contri-bution to visual arts went to Nicole Currie, Patrick West picked up the R.C. Bryant Cup for Music, Abby Hammond was awarded the Candace Burcin Cup for Dance with the Nel-

son Repertory Theatre Cup for overall contribution to drama going to Angus Graves.The arts are an integral part of the cur-riculum at Waimea College and those involved have opportunities to excel on multiple stages, but the students take that in their stride,” they say.“It’s great, there is always something going on, you get to act crazy and weird its considered normal,” laughs Angus. Among many other credits Angus was Captain Hook in the Nelson Youth Theater’s Peter Pan, he both directed and acted in a play in the National Shakespeare competition and was a member of the theater sports team. The other three major winners were just as busy and productive. This week Abby is off the Dance Nationals and Nicole has her own art exhibition com-ing up and her work is also on show in the Oi You! Urban Art Exhibition with the likes of Banksy and Paul Insect. The leadership of these students and the staff has also assured the talent and commitment keeps coming as a large number of those celebrated came from years 9 and 10. Trish is proud of the triumphs this year but also animated about the future. “We have a huge arts department and it is flourishing.”

Nelson’s upper Trafalgar St is preparing to party this weekend as the city’s Fan-zone goes up ahead of the Rugby World Cup semi-finals.A massive 20 foot by 10 foot screen mounted on top of a shipping container, guaranteeing a great view from all an-gles, will show both semi-finals and the final of the cup and will be erected be-tween the Nelson Provincial Museum

and ANZ Bank, projecting towards the Cathedral. It is expected thousands of people will pour into the Fanzone for the games – especially Sunday’s game featuring the All Blacks and Australia. Organisers ex-pect locals and visitors to embrace the Fanzone set up in Nelson too. “Having seen such a great turnout at each of our live games at Trafalgar Park, the Fan-

zones offer an opportunity to keep that buzz alive,” says Susan Coleman, RWC 2011 Nelson regional director. “It is the next best thing to being at a live game is to be amongst thousands of other supporters.” A selection of great local bands has been lined up to provide free pre-match entertainment from 6pm. The rugby action begins with kick off at 9.00pm each evening.

In February this year Allan Brooks left school as soon as he turned sixteen, a dicey deci-sion in a tight job market. “I thought to myself what do I do now, will I be able to get a job,” says Allan. Seven months later and Allan has finished the Automotive Course at the Nelson Technical Institute, achieving two local certificates and some national certificates. He also gained some part-time work to test his new skills.Allan admits it was tough few weeks after leaving school and he wasn’t sure what lay ahead. “A couple of teachers tried to get me to stay, they were good teachers but I wasn’t interested in school because I didn’t enjoy it.” It wasn’t until he attended the Nelson Technical Institute open day everything sort of fell into place. “Everyone has a good time but it’s all about do-ing the work and I’m quite im-pressed with what I achieved in seven months,” Allan beams.The young man enrolled on the “Say Wot?” course at “Say Wot?” employment skills course at NTI, with the goal of

following the tertiary educa-tion pathway into their auto-motive programme. “All the staff are really proud of the effort Allan put in would like to give him recognition for all his effort he has put into achieving his goals” says Sarah Nilsen of NTI.Allan’s mum Sarah Brooks admits she was not too happy about the situation at the start of the year. “I was a bit worried actually, I thought he was too young to be leaving school.”Sarah says when Allan made the decision to go the Nelson Technical Institute; she knew it was the right move. “He had wanted to do mechan-ics for quite a few years and coming here (NTI) he would get NCEA qualifications as well”.The value of continuing an ed-ucation and learning new skills is always important but like many teenagers, Sarah knows Allan didn’t always fit in well at school. “It is different from school, I think the structure here is different, it wouldn’t work for everyone but it worked for Allan, and they kept him on course,” she says.

A few dozen fire fighters were all action at the A & P Show-grounds on the weekend, com-peting in the annual Waterway Challenge.Teams came from all over the South Island to compete and hone their drills, but the speed and accuracy gained in compe-tition also helps to save lives, says Nelson Marlborough pro-vincial association secretary Craig Piner. “The Waterway Challenge in-volves all the skills you use as a firefighter being run in a time-based competition, setting up hoses and knocking down tar-gets,” he says.It was a chance for the regions volunteers to test their skills in a bit of friendly competition. “You would think it might have been a bit of fun and people do enjoy it, but the competition does get quite serious,” Craig says.Takaka took out the overall honors in the competition but Richmond took plenty of praise for the way they hosted the event.

SPEciAL OFFER FOR RichMOnD RESiDEntS

Local glass business expandsDon’t let the name fool you, Richmond Glass now has a shop in Nelson city. The locally-owned glass company has been operating in Richmond for the past 20 years and for most of that time has served its Nelson customers from its Richmond base. But demand has now forced an expansion, with it opening a new store in Vanguard St, opposite Countdown.Richmond Glass still has its headquarters on Gladstone Rd in Richmond but its new Nelson branch is in the premises vacated by Smith & Smith Glass. It opened its doors to the new store last Monday. Manager Wayne Ballis says the move has filled a gap in the Nelson market and will allow its technicians to access its

Nelson customers more easily. “We are now the only glass business in Nelson city that offers all glass options, the others focus just on auto. But we do auto, houses, ballestrades, anything glass, we do it.” Richmond Glass has built up a solid reputation and is one of the only glass businesses advertising a 24/7 service. “We are happy to do 24/7 and we are fully mobile. We are also the only bigger glass company that is locally owned.”Wayne says Richmond people who work in Nelson can also drop off their cars before work to get any glass work fixed and then walk to work in the CBD. “We’ve already found a heck of a lot of people take advantage of that,” he says.

Choose Richmond Glass to double glaze your ex-isting windowsRetro-fit double glazing lets you enjoy the warmth and comfort of your existing home by replacing your single glass with the latest ThermaTech double glazing.Richmond Glass has been car-rying out this straightforward process in many different kinds of homes, mainly around the Top of the South Island but also as far south as Arthurs Pass, for several years, giving homeowners warm results while also lowering their energy costs. Whether you have timber or aluminium framed win-dows, Richmond Glass has a dou-ble glazing solution to suit your needs.If you have aluminium-framed windows, a retro-fit could not be more simple. Richmond Glass re-places the existing exterior glaz-ing beads with the manufactur-er’s double glazing beads. Where that’s not possible, Richmond Glass uses its own multi-fit dou-ble glazing retaining beads, and where necessary, its new opening sashes. The new beads are pow-der coated or anodised to closely match the colour of your existing window frames.If you have timber-framed win-

dows, Richmond Glass uses the patented ‘Retro Fit NZ’ drainage adaptor energy saving system which allows all existing timber windows to be retained.With a retro-fit you have the best of both worlds; your home is vir-tually unchanged plus you gain all the benefits of double glazing. The work is quick and unobtru-sive. Richmond Glass experts will measure your windows, the new units will be made locally in Nel-son and a date set for your double glazing to be installed. Richmond Glass advises you every step of

the way. One of the company’s home improvement representa-tives will call on you and outline your options. A quotation is sup-plied without cost or obligation.Richmond Glass also checks that the task can be done within the building’s structure and that all technical specs and measure-ments are correct. Dealing with Richmond Glass you know that your home is entrusted to a lead-er in the glazing industry in New Zealand.Whatever the size or shape of your windows, Richmond Glass will handle it.

How does double glazing workRichmond Glass uses ThermaTech double glazing which consists of two or more panes of glass sepa-rated by an aluminium spacer, bonded together to form a com-pletely sealed unit called an Insu-lating Glass Unit or IGU.Heat and cold pass through single glass, whereas ThermaTech units trap a layer of air or Argon gas between two panes, creating a kind of blanket that protects the warmth of your interior. This re-duces heat transfer from inside to outside during winter and outside to inside in the summer months,

ensuring improved warmth and cooling in your home and also re-ducing energy costs by significant amounts.

Planitherm total low E glass for maximum effectPlanitherm Total Low E Glass is a high performance Low E coated glass, made of clear float glass on which a thin, transparent coat-ing has been deposited by mag-netron technology. This coating drastically reduces the heat trans-fer between inside and outside.Planitherm Total Low E Glass ther-mally performs approximately 10 percent better than standard hard

coat Low E glass commonly used in New Zealand. On top of this it does not suffer from the haze ef-fect of standard hard coat Low E. The finished product has a near crystal clear appearance that will not interfere with your views.

Stay warm without con-densationAs a building’s interior is warmed, there is an increased prospect of condensation, mould and mil-dew. Condensation forms when warm air containing moisture meets a cold window surface. If the conditions are right “dew point”

is reached and condensation forms. As the inner pane of Ther-maTech glazing remains substan-tially warmer than single glazing, condensation is dramatically re-duced.Nothing can completely elimi-nate condensation but ThermaT-ech double glazing comes close. In many cases moisture problems disappear forever, while in other situations just a small amount of condensation forms at the bot-tom of a window or frame. This is caused by factors such as ventila-tion rather than glazing. If you’re building new or have an existing home that needs warm-ing then call Richmond Glass.

The two sheets of glass are line bonded by computer control to pre-cise tolerances with a special dual seal around an aluminium spacer. Individual windows up to 3.15 by 2.4 metres can be produced.

Flooring Xtra have again named Hubbers Flooring Xtra, in Richmond, as the South Island’s Top Shop. Judged on merits such as store presentation, relationship with customers, and overall excellence, the store scored top marks in each section. This is the third time they have won the award, which is presented biannually. They have also won it three times in the past eight years.Opinions from secret shoppers, customers, clients and independent judges went into the selection of the

winner from 63 stores throughout the South Island. They are a multi-award winning store, taking out other awards such as the Cavalier Bremworth. Gerald Beattie maintains that it’s because they are a “top performer, and get your bums in here to see why.”He says it’s a great honour for the store. “It’s a measure for ourselves to know that we’re presenting the store, giving good customer service, leaving every thing set up and easy for clients to access, we get feedback from reps that go in to it. It’s a real positive.”

Hyundai has been named the fastest growing automotive brand for the second year running, by global brand consultancy firm Interbrand. This year saw the company rise four places to number 61 in the top 100 annual ranking of the world’s 100 best global brands. Interbrand calculates rankings based on company balance sheets, marketing activities and each brand’s potential profit. The organisation said Hyundai “displayed the most memorable performance continuing from the previous year, despite the growth slowdown of global brands”. Hyundai’s brand value increased from US$3.5 billion in 2005 to US$6 billion in 2011. “This award recognises the strong growth Hyundai continues to experience both at a local level in New Zealand and Internationally. It’s also an endorsement of Hyundai Motor Company’s new brand strategy launched in January 2011, and the fact that the company’s continued commitment to building ‘modern premium’ vehicles, is gaining traction,” says the Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau. In New Zealand, sales of Hyundai vehicles are up 27 per cent compared to 2010, at a time when the overall New Zealand automotive industry grew by just 8.2 percent. In August, Hyundai New Zealand achieved the highest number of sales in its 29 year history, while internationally, Hyundai Motor Company was named the most improved car manufacturer of the last decade by UK based Auto Express. Tom Ruddenklau says, it has been a great year for Hyundai New Zealand, and the brand’s popularity continues to go from strength to strength. “We are confident that momentum will continue to grow as we gear up for the launch of the i40 Wagon and Veloster models later this year, adding to our range of well designed, economic, 5 star ANCAP safety rated vehicles.” Tom says the recently launched Elantra was named AutoPacific’s Ideal Compact Vehicle in September, while the i45 was named the 2011 International Car of the Year.

A new kind of stereo...digital gateway technology.

More than just a green logo.

The new Rotel RCX 1500 is without doubt a stereo component built for the modern

world, a digital gateway and playback device in one. It combines a 2 x 100w efficient

and compact stereo tuner amplifier with all the quality music source interfaces that

matter most in today’s broadband connected age. You can stream music from your own

local network. Access internet radio to enjoy over 15,000 choices in musical content,

play CDs, or connect your iPod via the front USB input using the 24 bit/192kHz Wolfson

high fidelity DAC, listen to DAB+ digital radio and even enjoy old fashioned FM radio for

good measure. Your ethernet access can be wired or wireless, and supported codecs

include RealAudio®, WMA, MP3, AAC & AAC+ (non DRM), AU, WAV and AIFF. If this

component was three units instead of one, you could expect its value to be around

$5000. So at only $2499 it’s an outright steal.

Rotel has long been recognized by music and movie lovers for its high

performance amplifiers which deliver unrivalled sound quality and value

for money. Imagine that same high performance from amplifiers that use

less electricity per watt of output power, that produce less heat, that are

more compact and lighter weight, and have an overall smaller carbon

footprint. Wouldn’t you want to buy one?

Rotel’s range of innovative Class D amplifiers at last gives you the

opportunity to enjoy exceptional sound quality while minimizing the

impact on the environment. These amplifiers are not digital, but use

special circuitry and smart components to amplify your favourite sounds

in a more efficient way.

Not only are they more efficient in use, but energy is saved in their

manufacture and distribution. Without large power transformers, storage

capacitors and massive heatsinks, less natural resources are consumed,

and they require less packaging and less fuel to move.

No matter what your signal source or how many channels, you will always

need a good amplifier to drive your loudspeakers. For this reason, an

investment in Rotel delivers a pay-off now and for the future.

Try an amazing coffee to start the day and an incredible wine to relax with at Cafe on Oxford

www.brightwaterwine.co.nzPh 544 1066

Proud to supply Guy atCafe on Oxford

The perfect cup of coffee can be hard to find. At Cafe on Oxford, not only will you always get the perfect cup, they offer a variety of tastes and strengths to suit everyone and any occasion.Award winning barista Guy McCracken has increased their focus on coffee; his goal is to ensure the optimum bean for all taste buds. He employs three different filter methods at his brew bar; Siphon, Aeropress and Swiss Gold, to cater to all tastes and range through from a soft flavour, for easy drinking, right through to a strong cup to jump start your day.

The cafe also boasts a La Marzocco Strada MP, a top-of-the-range coffee machine, and the only model of its kind in New Zealand. The machine, rather than having a set pressure, incorporates a mechanical paddle that allows for pressure control and progressive pre-infusion. Guy has utilised this, experimenting with blends and temperatures to discover what makes a great cup of coffee. He is currently working on perfecting a house blend, as well as an espresso blend, that will be unique to Cafe on Oxford. But you don’t need to worry about the details, just know that you’ll get the best taste, every time.Cafe on Oxford ensures the quality of your cuppa by being exclusive about who makes it. When you order a coffee, it will be made either by Guy himself, or Erika Nalsund, his protégé whom he has trained personally to ensure consistency and the highest standard. Guy and his wife have been with the Cafe for two years and took full

ownership at the beginning of this year, increasing the focus on the coffee and exploring alternative methods of brewing to discover how to get the best flavours out of every blend.In addition to great coffee, Cafe on Oxford offers a breakfast and lunch menu that runs until 2pm. They also have freshly prepared snacks and light meals, including cakes,

pastries and sandwiches available from the cabinet all day. They are fully licensed, opening Friday evenings from 7pm so you can unwind from the week at work with dessert, a coffee or a glass of wine or beer.If you have an upcoming function and need catering or a venue, they are happy to oblige.

work experience students from local colleges, including Garin College and Waimea College, to give an insight into hospitality and business. These students come in individually for a day each week, allowing them personal ongoing observation and involvement.For the environmentally conscious, or even if you just drink a lot of coffee, there is the option to purchase a ‘Keep Cup’. The first hot drink is included in the price, and you get a discount each time you bring it back for a refill. The cups keep your drink hot for up to 40

minutes longer than take away cups, while still fitting into a cup holder for the drive to work. There is also the ability to customise the colour combinations, and there is the option to have them ordered in branded with your business name.Come in to Cafe on Oxford, at 20 Oxford Street in Richmond; they are open weekdays from 7.30am until 4pm, 9am until 3pm on Saturdays, and Friday evenings from 7pm, and you can experience the passion Guy McCracken and his staff members feel for coffee.

Guy McCraken, owner operator, is keen to make sure you experience the perfect cup of coffee with your breakfast, lunch or snack.

Some time ago I spotted a wooden plaque in a gift shop with these pithy words on it: ‘Sometimes I wake up grumpy and sometimes I let him sleep!” I’m sure no-one wishes the label ‘grump’ attached to them. But let’s be honest, we are all guilty at times of being grumpy. Sometimes it is justified: I got a $45 parking ticket recently and was not a happy chappie! But I should have been more attentive. End of story! Then there was much teeth gnashing for sports fans the weekend before last: Dan Carter’s groin injury and enforced withdrawal from the Rugby World Cup, followed by the Warriors loss to the Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL Grand Final both caused an awful lot of tooth ache. Even the deafening rain and thunder couldn’t drown the cries of sadness and despair echoing around the nation. Yes life can be unfair, we don’t always get the hand we want dealt to us. But endlessly bleating about it doesn’t help cope with life’s downers. I like the story of an elderly woman who when asked by her doctor how she was, replied, “I’m fine. I may have only two teeth but I thank God that they are opposite each other.” I believe this lady has a lot to teach us about responding to adversity. No bleating, Just being thankful that things could have been a lot worse,

and making the best of what remains rather than dwelling on what was lost. Recently I read an item about Joeli Vidiri, who like fellow retired All Black Jonah Lomu, has had his life turned upside down by kidney failure. For 10 years Vidiri has been waiting for a kidney transplant to get him off a dialysis machine to keep him alive. When

interviewed about his situation Joeli replied, “If I felt sorry for myself that is not going to get me anywhere. I have to look forward. I still have the gift of life and can do whatever I can do. I just have to appreciate life as it is.” You can’t help but admire that sort of positive attitude can you? And it raises questions for me as to how I view my own life: do I see it as my right, or do I see it as a God given gift? Do I take my life for granted or am I truly thankful to God for what is so precious, so sacred, so meaningful and worthwhile? Life for me is a gift,

and a gift for which my only response can be one of thankfulness. And such gratitude can only be fully expressed in worship and service to the giver of the gift of life, to God who wishes to be in relationship with each one of us and invites us to show God’s love to the people we meet each day. If we do that, I believe we will have very little to be grumpy about!

A spot at the FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup could soon be a reality for Emily Jensen after the Richmond centre back inspired her Young Football Ferns side to a historic series win over bitter rivals Australia.The 16 year-old central defender was handed the captaincy armband for the final test, with New Zealand previously picking up a 3-1 win and 0-0 draw. And the Waimea College talent didn’t disappoint, leading her chargers to a historic series win with a come from behind 3-1 victory in Auckland. “It’s quite an achievement really. I don’t think we really know how much that rarely happens,” she says. “Australia came out and they pretty much gave us a good run for our money and scored the first goal. But we did it. We came back and thrashed them.”The three-match series was the perfect dress rehearsal before World Cup qualifying next year and Emily hopes the leadership role will count in her favour when the squad is announced in April, in lure of the sport’s pinnacle. “It’d pretty much be a dream come true. I’ve always wanted

to represent to New Zealand.”Emily says she was “pretty stoked” to see the C for captain next to her name on the team sheet and she definitely made her voice heard on the pitch. “Oh you just gotta tell the girls ‘how much do you want this?’ We knew we could beat them, we were all over them in the first two tests, we just had to believe in ourselves and go hard.”With the bulk of the squad living in Auckland, training together every second day, Emily says it can be hard to watch from afar in Nelson. “I’m always nervous coming up to Auckland because you know, it could be that they’re ten steps ahead of me but you come in and start playing around and you fit in. I don’t feel too out of place.”But when you are competing for a spot on the world stage, Emily says she needs to take any opportunity that will increase her chance for selection. While there has not been any pressure from family or coaches, a move to Auckland has always been on the back of her mind. “That’s the big decision that I have to make soon. Moving to Auckland would help tremendously for football. It’d give me a greater chance. But then there’s also moving schools, finding somewhere to stay, and I love Nelson. It’d be really hard to leave.”

Athletes ready to master gamesThe South Island Masters Games is finally upon us.The event, which is being held in Nelson for the first time, will take place on 15 – 23 October. More than 3,000 athletes aged over 30 years old will compete across 50 sports, making it one of the largest participation events in the South Is-land. Games director Chris Thomas says he is thrilled at how Nelson has

got behind the games. “We had an expectation of around 1000 com-petitors to come from the Nelson re-gion, so we are really impressed that Nelson registrations have exceeded 1500,” Thomas says. “The vast ma-jority are from central Nelson sub-urbs, but we also have more than 300 from the wider Tasman region, including a group coming over from Golden Bay.”

Impatient Wanderers downed on day one

Garin footballer scores Canterbury gigErik Panzer will be taking on New Zealand’s best amateur footballers during the summer af-ter scoring a spot with Canterbury United.The Garin College star will captain the Canterbury United Under-19 side in their ASB Youth League campaign and is one of five academy players also named in the Canterbury United senior squad for the ASB Premiership cam-paign. With two youth players required in each match day squad, Erik is likely to see action. Erik was originally a central midfielder but operated predominantly at the back for AMI Nelson Suburbs in its Robbie’s Premier League campaign.But he has come on leaps and bounds in his new role and is the only defensive-minded player amongst the five.

He says it is a great kick start to his footballing career and will hope to impress national age-grade selectors. “I was totally surprised to be

named captain. I hadn’t been to one training session,” says Erik. “For me, who has never played in Canterbury United, to be selected in the youth team as captain and in the men’s team all in the one year is just unreal.”Former Richmond City player Jordan Swaney has gone to ASB Premiership champions Waitakere United, while current Richmond Athletic import Sam Mason-Smith has chosen Team Wellington over Canterbury United and will link up with Mike White, an-

other switching to the capital. Nelson Suburbs captain Mark Johnston has been selected for Canterbury United.

It was two ex-Waimea College players who put the killer blows in to the Wanderers attack on Saturday, as the cricket season was officially opened.Stoke-Nayland’s Connor Neynens and Marty King both collected four wickets in the first in-nings to hold Wanderers to just 83 all out after just 37 overs.Connor, a New Zealand Under-19 representa-tive, and Marty, were both wearing the red caps for the first time, after Waimea College folded as a senior team at the beginning of 2011.Only three Wanderers batsmen reached dou-ble figures and captain Dan Cooper says it was all down hill for the side that lacked patience, as soon as a quick succession of wickets fell.Joey O’Connor top scored with 21 runs and opener Tom Cross managed a start of 20, but there was no one down the pecking order to get them out of a hole. “Probably the biggest thing was them being patient bowling-wise,” says Dan. “They just didn’t change from their plan and we were just too eager to score runs.”And with the away side just managing 83, they failed to make any inroads with the ball in the following session.Last season’s top scorer Mark Douglas ran up to 77 runs not out with Dean Hawley picking

up the sole wicket of the innings, collecting Ben Alder for just 14.Dan says there will be plenty of soul searching in the coming days before tackling the second day of the game on Saturday.The addition of coach Mark Ogier will also go along way, he says. “We’ve just go to try and restrict them I think. We’ll have to attack early in the morning and then obviously if it doesn’t go to plan we’ll have to defend.”If Wanderers can’t restrict Stoke-Nayland, Dan says the team will have to become patient and bat the day out. “It’s a good wicket, as long as this rain stays off it and I think we’re capable of doing it. We can only improve really.”Elsewhere, at Greenmeadows Ricky Edwards remains unbeaten on 42, as Waimea Toi Toi United sit on 94/9, 72 runs short of Wakatu.With newcomers Athletic College Old Boys replacing Waimea College in the 2011/12 sea-son, player movement has seen Wanderers and WTTU pick up plenty of talent. Left-arm spinner Dan Wightman and opening batsman Tom Ingham are the major gains for WTTU, who have also lost key man Greg Chitty, Clin-ton Harvey and Marty Kain to ACOB.Brad Smith has joined Wakatu while Wan-derers have attracted batsmen Luca Roden, Lee Wright, legspinner Brodie Hanna and all-rounder Tom Cross.

Hope’s latest coach believes she can be the one that takes the club to the next level.Ngaire Calder was appointed Hope Tennis Club coach last month and has already fallen in love with the club’s facilities and the culture, in an ever-growing club.There is already more than 80 junior tennis players involved in the club and thanks to an extra four courts being completed, the club is hoping to expand on junior and on a senior level.Ngaire was born on the West Coast and as a player has represented the Central Districts as their number one junior and senior. But with her West Coast roots, Ngaire was also heavily involved in the Canterbury set-up when she was younger. But after switching to coaching just over ten years ago, Ngaire hasn’t looked back and has definitely warmed to her latest challenge out in Hope, after previously volunteering as a coach in Brightwater, Wakefield and Golden Bay.“I’m just enjoying having a club to myself really, where I can put my own stamp on it,” says Ngaire. “It’s a club that’s still developing its juniors, so I’m looking forward to doing a lot of work with the ones already involved in the club and just getting their playing level up a bit more.”Ngaire says the new Grasshoppers tennis programme that sees her coaching in schools has

been hugely beneficial throughout New Zealand and has found it particularly welcoming in her own region, drawing more juniors from school out to the club. During the programme, schools purchase mini nets, low compression balls and tennis racquets and the coaches then come in to the school and teach smaller versions of the game, more suited to children.Ngaire says the huge numbers of juniors players at a country club were at a very promising figure

and hoped that would only grow with Tasman’s continuing population rise. “Oh it’s definitely got a huge future out here. People are moving in to the country more so it’s got huge potential. It’s got a synthetic-grass surface that a lot of adults like too.”Ngaire says her major goals will be to increase the already busy membership of the club and improve the standard of both junior and seniors.

“I just want to give them a few more tips that will improve their tennis. We’re always welcome to new members and it’s a great club to be at. There’s a friendly atmosphere and like any club there’s a great committee behind us.”Ngaire mentioned the committee’s young drive and their ability to make things happen.South Island Masters Games will be held at the Hope Tennis Centre this weekend and Ngaire is encouraging people in the community to get out there and support all the participants.

Softballers brave rain, chillWaimea College Sonix pitcher Luke Harrington in action during the side’s 11-2 win over Nelson College Gators. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

The rain and the cold couldn’t deter the region’s top softballers as the sea-son was fully underway after a delayed start.In the Premier A Men’s competition, Waimea Eagles were too good for the United Pirates, winning 13-0 in the sixth innings.Gareth Oliver pitched well for the Eagles letting only two batters on base the whole game.Nick Max fired on all cyclinders with the bat, hitting an automatic home run with two runners on base. Don Glenie from United even had some praise for the Waimea side after the match. “Waimea Eagles has always been a strong team and managed to over power the Pirates today,” he says.In the round’s other matches, Royals Maverix were too classy for the Unit-ed Pirates, winning 12-6 in the seventh innings. And in a lower scoring affair the Stoke Eagles flew past United Titans 4-2 in the seventh innings. Three-time world champion Marty Grant was back pitching for the Titans. “It was nice to see Marty, who has so much passion for the sport, back in the limelight, and playing alongside his brother Peter.”In the Senior Men’s B Division Championship, Waimea Sonix were too good for Nelson College Gators, winning 11-2.

Recurring sports injuries must be a real headache for coaches and selectors. Some time back, a Scottish medical specialist by the name of Barry Wyke mapped out how the brain controls and coordinates joints and their accompanying muscles, ligaments and tendons.Professor Wyke, a neurologist, and others, shed significant light on why injuries can occur from no obvious cause. He found that subtle disturbances to joint motion can interfere with the brain’s ability via nerves to coordinate muscle action. This often results in two powerful muscle groups opposing each other when one group should be relaxing. An overload occurs, which may result in ligament, muscle or tendon injury. This can show up after a seemingly harmless activity.Barry Wyke determined that specialised methods to correct joint action, other than strengthening

and stretching or maintaining fitness levels, is appropriate.Furthermore, it’s an established fact that marrying metal to human tissue has its problems, among them inflammation and infection. A screw inserted into an ankle is one example.There’s an old saying: ‘Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.’ Perhaps it’s time for thinking outside the square.Clyde’s practice was established in Richmond in 1975. He is an honours graduate from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in the Midwest of the United States, and was involved in electronics in New Zealand for six years prior to his chiropractic studies. His interest in chiropractic was the result of a horse riding accident in his youth and later experiences with his wife’s severe allergies.

HAVING A GO: Chris Ecroyd at the Richmond Bowling Club’s ‘Have A Go Day.’ The day gave members of the public a great chance to try a sport they hadn’t previously done, but as club president Collen Kempton says it was also a chance for former players to get back in to the sport.Colleen says she was amazed at the turnout with the club hosting its biggest ‘Have a Go Day’ in history. “We had approximately 22 visitors, about six of those were children and there was great support by the club members too, which was good to see,” says Colleen. “We were overjoyed with the turnout and we’ve already picked up four new members from the day so it was well worth it.” Indoor bowls was ran for the children who turned up. “Yeah the kiddies needed smaller indoor bowls because they couldn’t quite handle the normal ones, but it was such a nice day and everyone stayed on for hours.” The club also hosted a sausagae sizzle for all the keen punters that showed up. The Richmond Bowling Club kicked off its summer season just three weeks ago. If you are interested in joining the club, contact Colleen on 544 6462.

Football festival kicks in to actionThe region’s biggest junior football tourna-ment kicked in to action earlier this week with teams from all over the South Island competing in Nelson for three days.Teams from as far as Dunedin and Central Otago competed in the 40th annual Jack McKnight Football Festival, a tournament that pits the South Island’s top 11 year-olds against each other. Nelson Bays Football de-velopment officer George Campbell says the tournament just gets better and better each year and the standard of football has in-creased dramatically. The professional way in which the tournament is presented has also been talked about, says George.

Players and coaches must stay in technical areas and all referees are fully trained and qualified, he says. Even the same ball must be used throughout the tournament. “It’s a great revenue earner for the town as well. Everybody that comes here is very im-pressed by the standard and the detail that we put in. Without bragging, people come up and say there’s no better tournament any-where.”George says Nelson Bays Football had esti-mated that close to $750,000 comes in to the Nelson/Tasman region from the tournament.Nine teams were competing from Nelson over the three days.

Navigation Safety Action: Extension of Temporary Reservation of wastewater pipeline corridor across Waimea Inlet between Bells Island and MonacoPursuant to provisions of the Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw 2005 (Amended 2006) and the Local Government Act 1974, the Tasman District Council and Nelson Harbourmasters granted a temporary reservation to March Civil Ltd of a corridor of the waters of Waimea Inlet between Bells Island, Saxton Island and Monaco, for the installation and maintenance of a wastewater pipeline between 14 February 2011 and 20 October 2011. Due to unanticipated delays, this has been extended until 31 January 2012. The effect of the temporary reservation is to allow contractors involved in the project to control access to or across the reserved area, including defining or closing navigable channels for small craft, in the interests of safety. Closures will be notified by signage at Best Island, Rabbit Island, Monaco and Akersten Street boat ramps, and by broadcast on local marine radio stations from time to time. Sheet piles will be temporarily installed. These will be marked with yellow retro-reflective tape in most cases, with those defining the available channel(s) for navigation showing port or starboard lateral mark characteristics. Usual hours of work on the project will be 7.00 am to 6.00 pm, but navigation restrictions may be in force at any time. Mariners are required to observe and use only the marked route(s) across the reserved area, and take care that their wake, speed or proximity does not cause risk of harm to contractors (who may be involved in underwater operations), or risk of damage to structures including equipment and pipes. A number of other conditions have been imposed on March Civil Ltd, which may be viewed by contacting either the Harbourmaster on Ph. 03 543 8433/027 246 1904 e-mail: [email protected] or Gary Kennedy of March Civil Ltd during office hours.
