Would we cope with 7.1 quake?Local geologist discusses impli-

cations of Christchurch-scale jolt in Waimea Faultline

An earthquake of 7.1 on the Richter Scale, occurring in the Waimea Fault Line, might bring some houses in Richmond streets to their knees while others could ride out the tremors with only superficial disturbance, ac-cording to a local geologist.In the wake of the series of structurally dev-astating and nerve-wracking earthquakes in Canterbury, residents all over New Zealand are considering what effects they would suf-fer in similar circumstances.One of the obvious and most significant fea-tures of the near 7.1 quake, centred near Dar-field south of Christchurch, was the varying extents of structural damage done throughout central Canterbury. While some suburbs and towns, such as Kaiapoi, suffered massive upheaval and ir-reparable devastation, other areas of the city and outskirts were relatively unscathed.So how would the Richmond/Waimea dis-trict cope with a similar strength 7.1 quake on a nearby fault line?Dr Michael (Mike) Johnston is a local con-sulting geologist who has a good knowledge of ‘what lies beneath’, having done consid-erable survey work on the Waimea Plains ground water system.

Community constable off to SolomonsRichmond community constable Glenn Lloyd-Jones is off to work in Solomon Islands for six months, with little more knowledge of his new home than he has of Mars.“I’m in the dark until I get there. I applied for an overseas deploy-ment without being specific or fussy where I went, and Solomon Islands came up. “It’s a mystery adventure to me, though I have since found out it’s 2000kms north-east of Australia,

there are about 510,000 residents and it’s made of six main volcanic islands, and nearly 1000 others … and I understand soccer is pretty big over there,” says the policeman of eight years.Glenn will work along-side the local police while living at Guadalcanal Beach Resort. “I haven’t been briefed yet on exact-

ly what I’ll be doing there but I think it might involve being on a police patrol launch quite a bit of the time.”

Glenn left Richmond on Monday and re-turns in early April. In the meantime he will send Waimea Weekly an occasional report of his expe-rience. “I’m really looking forward to a different culture by living in it for a time; I’m looking forward to the experience,” says Glenn.

Community Sergeant Mal Drum-mond and community police staff will cover in Richmond for Glenn’s absence.

In the wake of the Christchurch earthquake we asked locals if they have are now putting the civil emergency management plans in place at home that Civil Defence have been promoting for years.

“I’m keeping a supply of boiled water. I have friends in Hope who will come and collect me if they can and take me to their place.”

Graham Hodgson

“We’ve kept stocked up with emergency supplies ever since that pandemic scare a few years ago.”

Mary Turu

“I still have that attitude that it won’t happen to us, it only happens to other people so no, I haven’t done anything yet.”

Kathy Bourke

“I’m slowly building up my first aid kit and food supplies of long lasting sustainable items such as Basmati rice.”

Lead singer of Garin College band Peasants of Eden, Georgia Nott, said “we were so stoked to get second in the Smokefreerockquest final ... we’re still recovering from the excitement of the weekend.”Peasants of Eden were pipped in the final at Hamil-ton by local band The Good Fun but finished ahead of the other 798 hopeful New Zealand secondary schools bands which fell by the wayside during re-gional heats and finals up and down the country.Peasants won $5000 worth of Rockshop vouchers and will professionally record two songs which Georgia says will be used as demo CDs and cir-culated in an effort to give the band national and perhaps even international recognition.

Seven storey apartments in future Queen St?As Tasman grows the increas-ing need for more commer-cial space in Richmond has prompted TDC transportation manager Gary Clark to call a special meeting exclusively for Queen St landlords and ten-ants.“It’s an opportunity for these people to get together and ex-press their ideas on what they would like the town centre to look like in 10 to 20 years time. Of course for that to happen we have to be putting a plan in place now as new development occurs. We all need to be work-ing for the same result,” says Gary.As well as his expertise in traf-fic planning Gary has a back-ground in urban design having run his own Wellington busi-ness which was involved in significant town centre devel-opment. “We have some very important issues to consider with regard to our town cen-tre and while we are asking all residents for input through our Newsline survey and informa-tion stalls in town the people who own and lease the proper-ties are ultimately those who will have a big say in what happens next. One of the im-portant things to consider is the direction of future devel-opment; should Richmond’s commercial development go outwards or upwards?”Gary told Waimea Weekly, “Personally I think our town centre lacks vitality and identi-

ty. Sundial Square has attracted a lot of favourable comments from residents but we need to carry on and make Queen St a much more pleasant place for shoppers and pedestrians. I think pedestrians are hard done by at present having to con-tend with narrow footpaths and there’s still too much traffic in Queen St, a lot of this could be using the ring road system we’ve tried to promote.”Gary says we don’t have the population, as yet at least, to warrant turning the central section of Queen St into an exclusive pedestrian mall but we should be working towards encouraging foot traffic and discouraging vehicular traffic.“I think we need more green

space in Queen St, perhaps a prominent water theme, inter-active and enduring, typical of our district, perhaps more res-taurants, and we need to look at the issue of additional parking handy to but outside the main street.”The present requirement for commercial landlords to pro-vide carparks (at a cost of $14,000) at the rate of three per 100 square metres of floor space could also be reduced or waived to encourage landlords to build additional storeys to their existing or new premises rather than looking at sites fur-ther afield.Gary says the idea of multi-storey buildings in Queen St, perhaps one day even six or seven floor apartments with a sea view, “may seem an idea from outside the square” but he’s keen to find out what oth-ers think of such design. “Ultimately we need more tall-er buildings in Queen Street, of various heights and we need to be working with property own-ers to achieve a better urban result,” says Gary.“Whatever we decide it has to be for the benefit of all of commercial Richmond so we have to integrate this planning with the (Richmond) mall. This meeting (tonight, September 15) is for brain storming and although the (Queen St devel-opment planning) process will take some time there is some urgency involved,” says Gary.

Our earthquake risk(from front page)“For many years I worked for Geological Survey, now GNS Sci-ence. I’ve done a lot of geological mapping and geo-hazard research; the risks of earthquakes and land-slides,” says Mike.He says while it’s impossible to confidently predict the effects of an earthquake of a given magni-tude in a specific area, because

there are so many variables, it is reasonable to make some assump-tions when considering the known factors. “What type of base people have their foundations in is going to be more critical than the struc-ture of their homes in the event of a big quake – building regula-tions should take care of that side but if you’re on jelly rather than rock you’re certainly not going to

be absorbing the shock as well and it’s that swaying and accentuated move-ment caused by an un-steady base and perhaps liquefaction which is go-ing to take its’ toll,” says Mike.Liquefaction occurs in saturated soils and sands where the space between individual particles is filled with water. An earthquake increases wa-

ter pressure, which causes an upheaval that puts additional stress on foundations and retaining walls. “It’s like when you walk on the beach near the tide and all that water is forced up around your feet – that effect will do real damage to buildings.”The Waimea Fault Line runs along the toe of the Richmond Ranges and, accord-

residential subdivision are also on quite firm ground, containing a lot of Moutere gravels. They will shake but without the accen-tuation you’d get on the lower areas of town and Waimea Plains which have more silt.” Mike says any area with a lot of sand and silt, such as the fringes of the Waimea Inlet and Rabbit Island, would be prone to accentuated shaking and liquefaction but he

ing to Mike, “is a complex system which diminishes in activity as it moves north through Nelson as The Flax-more Fault. Houses on the Richmond Hills are built on a range of hard rocks which is encouraging, though of course in hills you have the risk of landslides. The spurs from the Richmond foothills which are now covered in

qualifies that by stressing, “I have no idea of the structure of the foundations of places like Nelson Pine. They may be anchored deep in a much more solid base.”Mike won’t comment on wheth-er or not Waimea Fault Line is overdue for a major shake.“All I can say is that we know it has produced shakes of Christchurch-like propor-tions and ruptured the surface three times in the past 20,000 years. The last one was 6000 years ago but whether or not that’s a pattern is anyone’s guess.”Mike says the Alpine Fault Line which runs down the Wairau Valley, about 35kms from Richmond, is a much more likely immediate risk than the Waimea Fault Line.“We can’t say when there will be a major quake near Richmond, but it is inevitable ... just a matter of time. I am encouraged and impressed by the two local councils

(Tasman and Nelson) and utili-ties companies active participa-tion in the Life Lines Project, which means they’re as prepared as practically possible to restore infrastructure such as water pipelines and electricity cabling by having sufficient supplies of spare materials on hand,” says Mike. “We’ll learn a lot from this Christchurch event, which should make us better prepared.”

Top Team takes to the streetsHayden Bryant, Sport Tas-man’s Assistant Advisor Youth, will be hitting the streets in the new Top Team car thanks to the Bowater Mo-tor Group. Hayden is going around to schools giving them the opportunity to try out some of the fun physical games and activities that they may face in the new Junior Competition of Top Team 10.Tony Bowater, Bowater Toyo-ta CEO, says, “We’re thrilled to help in this way as our com-pany recognises the many pos-itive benefits of the Top Team event and of course sports and a competitive spirit is in my family’s blood.” Tony’s dad Rodney was a very accom-plished Nelson and then Nel-

son Bays representative rugby player in the 1960s-70s era. Hayden says, “It looks like there is going to be some friendly rivalry between a number of the schools and it’s also looking like there will be some teams made up by the teachers as well.”The Junior Competition is open to children in Years 4 – 8 and the Senior Competition is open to all ages.The Heats are to be held at Motueka Recreation Centre Saturday 16 October, Saxton Field Sunday 31 October and Murchison Recreation Centre Saturday 13 November. The top four teams from each Heat will go through to the Finals at Moutere Hills Community

Centre on Sunday 12 Decem-ber.Organiser Judene Edgar said that it’s not so much about fit-ness or even skill but rather attitude and teamwork with “crazy costumes and the com-petitive kiwi attitude a must”. So get your teams of 6 – 8 players together and enjoy a day of fun and friendly com-petition. Businesses, sports clubs, families, friends, adults and children – get your team together for this year’s event.Do you think you have a team that’s got what it takes?For entry forms and more in-formation go to www.tasman.govt.nz/topteam or phone Sport Tasman on ph.

Tasman residents, businesses rally to help quake victims A group of businesses in the Wakatu Industrial Estate have banded together to send a care package of food and beverages produced in the business estate.Skipper’s Choice managing di-rector and co-owner Clinton Jones said that after talking to some of their customers and sup-pliers in Canterbury we thought there must be something we can do to let the people of Canter-bury know that the rest of the country is right behind them.`Ìt was very obvious that they were still in shock and very much on edge after the earth-quake on the weekend. `Èveryone we spoke to want-ed to share what had happened to them and their family and friends. ‘’Mr Jones said Skipper’s Choice makes sauces, dressings and coatings for seafood, and he spoke to a lot of his suppliers and customers on Monday. ``Some of whom I would nor-mally only have a brief discus-sion with, but on this occasion, it

‘My book will bring a little cheer’

The complexities of the curious English lan-guage have inspired well known Richmond football supporter and coach Firooz Zadeh to write his third book.‘English Down Under and Up Over’ explains just why English is such a confusing language for foreigners to learn. “I think readers will find it hilarious, for example how we use so many oxymorons. I’ve decided to send 100 copies of the book for free to Christchurch where things are in a pretty ugly (case in point) mess at the moment,” says Firooz.“I come from Iran (he was an international football player) which is an earthquake coun-try and have been there when a quake killed 15,000 people. I know how upsetting and dev-astating it is so if my book can bring cheer to some people in Christchurch at the moment I’ll be very happy.”Firooz wrote two award winning books in the USA but says, “I’m a New Zealander now – very grateful to Kiwis who have made my wife and I so welcome here – so this book is dedi-cated to Kiwis.”Copies of Down Under and Up Over will be in stores soon but can be purchased immediately by phoning Firooz on 5443950 or email [email protected]

was very obvious that they need-ed to share with someone what had happened to them.’’Mr Jones said he decided to ap-proach other food and beverage manufacturers in Wakatu Estate to see if they would be happy to contribute and everyone had been more than willing to donate goods.Skipper’s Choice was sending boxes of sauces and dressings. Pomeroy’s had agreed to send some coffee, Pic Picot had sent some cartons of Pic’s Peanut Butter and Eat Right Foods has offered to supply a range of their healthy cookies.Toll Tranzlink had offered to freight it there free of charge.`Èverybody I rang didn’t hesi-tate to offer their products and services for free.’’Mr Jones says he hopes to do-nate it to a welfare centre.`Àll we hope is that it puts a smile on some of the people’s faces and lets them know that there’s some support from the rest of the country.’’

Sir,Following approaches from residents concerned about the process which led to the shifting of the building on the Hope Reserve, I studied the TDC record. The confirmed minutes of the Hope Reserve Hearing of 25 August 2009 re-cord that Cr Currie moved the motion CS09/08/18 which led to the shifting of the building. The other two members of the hearing panel were Crs Higgins and Bryant. This was an ill-considered deci-sion because it arose through submission and was a major departure from the origi-nal proposal. The decision needed to go back to the community for another round of consul-tation before anything was done. The Minutes record that approval for funding from the Richmond Reserves Financial Contributions Account was to be sought from the other two Richmond Ward Councillors, Crs Glover and Edgar. It is quite wrong to blame TDC’s Lloyd Kennedy for the decision. While there were later failings, such as expecting contractors to consult with the commu-nity, the primary decision to shift the building was that of Crs Currie, Higgins and Bryant. Subsequent events reflect badly on them. With plenty of choice in the Richmond ward, voters need to take this expensive travesty into account in the poll.Joe Bell, Golden Bay

Letter to the editor

Lea Ehrlinspiel loads containers of fresh water in the car for friends and family in Christchurch

Quake prompts rush on water containersPayless in Richmond have never known such a de-mand for drinking water containers.Staff Wendy Hunt says, “We’ve sold all our stock of 20 litre water containers and we’ve got orders for 30 more with another pallet due in today. I think peo-

ple are stocking up in the wake of the earthquake and some people are taking fresh drinking water south with them when they visit friends and family.Payless also reports a rush on bat-teries, torches, candles and dispos-

able dinnerware as locals build their emergency survival kits … just in case. Residents should refer to the back inside cover of their phone direc-tory for advice on how to prepare to get through an earthquake.


At a function in Richmond presentations were made to Mary Garner, the tireless volunteer co-ordinator for Nelson Region Hospice (NRH), and Betty Jones who has completed 15 years as raffle volunteer. NRH has an amazing roster of 390 volunteers and Mary uses this workforce wisely and well. The presentation to Mary was made by Betty Lark of Richmond, herself a dedicated volun-teer of NRH and District Grand Master of Man-chester Unity Friendly Society Nelson, which has been raising funds for the last 12 months for the cause. Last Easter, Lodge members contributed non-perishable food which was made into three ‘goodie’ baskets – tickets were then sold among Lodge members and proceeds went towards buying 50c stamps. A quantity of envelopes was also donated.

Hospice servants recognisedBetty Lark took pleasure in presenting Mary Garner with 500 stamped envelopes for NRH at the function.Betty can be found on the first Thursday of each month outside National Bank in Richmond, selling raffle tickets with Claire Callaghan.“Particularly in the winter it’s freezing out there and we have had some sympathy donations from bank customers who notice us all wrapped up and shivering on their way out … but do-nations are gratefully received no matter what people’s motivation for giving is,” says Betty.She first became in involved with Hospice in Taranaki when her husband was diagnosed with cancer. “I expect to be helping out for a long time to come,” she says.Anyone wanting to help NRH in any way should phone Mary Garner 540 2853.

Why was the property weekly different last week??

Our weekly property publication is usually printed in Christchurch. That wasn’t possible last week due to the shocking quake that has destroyed parts of our beautiful garden city. The Nelson Mail did a gallant job of printing a property weekly for us using the best equipment that they had available. The Newspaper quality print definitely made me very aware of how great our full colour high gloss weekly publication is. Many thanks to the staff for their efforts to get the publication onto the streets.

Every year over 10,000 people in New Zealand are being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, so in 2010 it’s time to take action. Next Tues-day, September 21, on World Alzheimer’s day, the Alzheimer’s Society Nelson is holding an afternoon at Melrose House. “It’s about get-ting it out there to the general public and to the government so they can take action, so they can raise awareness for dementia and improve the services of people and the carers,” Richmond field worker Heather Lackner said.Anyone affected by Alzheimer’s or any form of dementia is welcome. “The day can be used to educate and challenge people’s misconceptions about dementia. It’s also a day for having fun, and bringing fun to the families of someone with dementia.”The public-friendly afternoon commences at 1:30pm, and will feature “groovy” band Off Your Rockers. “It’s an environment to be friendly and to have fun, there will be raffles and information, the band will play then we’ll have a break, and some afternoon tea.”Some local companies have come onboard do-nating food for the day. “Some lovely cupcakes which have been donated by the Stoke Bakery, cake from Chocolate Velvet, and the committee is making sandwiches.”Heather says a lot of people believe memory loss is just part of getting old, but that’s not ac-tually the case. “Memory loss is not a normal aging process and if people are having problems with their memory then they need to get some help. Our biggest thing is information, educa-tion and support. We’re not there to tell people what to do, we’re there to help them make in-formed choices. It’s a serious health issue, and its going to have real implications on our health system as the global population ages.”Tickets for the World Alzheimer’s day can be purchased for $5 from 50 Halifax Street, or alternatively, from either of the field workers, Heather, Sue from Nelson, and Rose from Mo-tueka. “The longer nothing happens, the longer it takes to put strategies in place to make the process much easier.”

Passionate rugby supporters Kevin and Laschelle Walker of Wai-iti were on the edge of their seats on Saturday night as the All Blacks roared home late in the test to pip the Wallabies and complete a clean sweep in the Tri Nations tourna-ment.The Walkers wear their great support for the All Blacks on their sleeve; or on the wall of a shed at the roadside property to be exact. The bold slogan ‘GO All BLACKS’ has been an obvious feature to south-going motorists on State Highway 6 since the buildup to 2007 Rugby World Cup.The Walkers had planned to go to that tournament in Britain and France but “things happened so we had to show our support from home as best we could,” says Laschelle.Kevin says, “We’re keen ABs supporters and we go to a test match once a year. I painted that sign on the shed and we get a few toots of support.” Laschelle adds, “We get the odd gesture the other way but we return those.”The All Blacks were firm favourites to win the 2007 World Cup and the Walk-ers were already making celebratory arrangements when their rugby world came crashing down at the hands of the French.“We were gutted. I went out in tears - though no-one noticed because it was raining - and painted BUGGER in big letters across our sign and mum sug-

So far so good for Wai-iti ABs supporters’ clubgested I add the let-ters ‘NE’ to the word GO, which I did,” says Kevin.It seems a long wait to make amends but the Walkers are deter-mined their rejuvenat-ed message will tip the balance in New Zea-land’s favour this time. “Mike Rodwell of Richmond is the local ‘Fly the Flag’ cam-paigner and he sug-gested we incorporate the silver fern in our repainted sign. I said he could do that if he wanted and now we have smart new sign with a silver fern and the stars on – it looks good,” says Kevin.While the All Blacks are clearly the best team in the world at present the Walkers aren’t counting their chickens. “We’ve been beaten too many times as favourite in the World Cup to get too ex-cited yet,” says Kevin. “The Wallabies are getting better and will be tough to beat next year … and I still think Robbie Deans should be the All Blacks. coach.”Daughter, Emma Walker was home for the weekend after a stressful week in

Christchurch during the earthquake, where she works as a beauty therapist.“I live in Barbados Street and our chim-ney fell off onto the neighbours’ place but our salon in Riccarton was fine and we opened for business on Tuesday af-ter the big shake. The women cancelled their appointments with me but funnily enough it was the men who kept theirs,” says Emma.“It’s been very stressful for people and even here at mum and dad’s place I’ve

been waking in the middle of the night thinking I’ve

felt another shake. That’s what it’s doing to people,” says Emma.Though it’s trivial by comparison, the Walkers are better prepared for another emotional jolt at the 2011 Rugby World Cup, but certainly are not expecting it again.“We’ve got some great young talent now with experienced old heads and plenty of cover this time in most positions so I think we’ll be right this time. I don’t expect to be getting out in the morning after the final to paint BUGGER again,” says Kevin.

All Black Wai-iti fan club Kevin, Laschelle and Emma Walker expect to be dancing for joy after the 2011 Rugby World Cup final.

Continued from last week.Alongside the garage next was an old dwelling. Initially I believe this was from where an early taxi service owned by Mr Penney operated. In about 1954 Ernie Jones built in place of the old home and on other land the well known business Richmond Drapery. Enlarging and mod-ifying it in 1956,1963, 1970 and 1972, this was a very successful business for many years but it no doubt succumbed to the ever changing franchised type busi-nesses starting to appear about that time. The building remains today occupied by various retail shops.At some stage there was a small Milk Bar called the Black Orchid alongside, which had next to it Harford’s Butchery (Alan & son Terry ).A little further along was the business of E W Win and Co established in about 1919, in the main operating as Real Es-tate; the earlier taxi service likely was Gladstone House, later Waimea Stores, sometime soon after 1904.

operated from there now by Paddy Smith.In time the Taxi business sold to a Mr Church who on-sold to Brian & Bill Rodgers and in 1951 they sold to Brian Harris. About 1957 he in turn sold to Jim & Heather Best.The next business was a hairdresser, owned by Clar-rie Sutton from 1928. Dave Tunnicliff in 1962 took over, retiring in 1966. He sold to Gordon Best who was joined by Peter Nicholas before Pe-ter took over, shifting the business to where it is today. He sold to the current owner, Adrian Bradley, about 1997.Today where Lydia Hey-ward Realty is was Cressey’s Chemist, later becoming H. S King Ltd as earlier men-

tioned.Today where Westpac Bank is was another garage owned and operated by Mr & Mrs Alan Cro-mie from 1934 until 1951, when they sold to Rodgers Garage, and the business was moved up to where BP is today. On the Cambridge Street corner where AMI Insurance is today was a grocery shop owned by Jack Pearson. This would have been pre-1950s and was later sold to Ivan Watson who in time shifted the business up to where the Richmond Pharmacy is now. Ivan with his son Ian would have operated that business un-til about 1983, for several years employing Barry Goodman who had been involved in the grocery trade since the mid-1950s.Ian entered the new Richmond Mall complex opposite, trading under the Super Value label, cur-rently Fresh choice .Harcourts Real Estate appears next and then there was the Brick

B u i l d -ing oc-cupied at the t i m e

by Alan Brumby as a Denture-maker, joined in time by Bernie Beresford up-stairs from about 1948. Below, Pete Simpson had a Fruit & Veg-etable business while a second hand-bookshop operated by Derrick Smith was also in place alongside. A Mrs Smith had operated a small Shoe Shop here as well. The Brick building was demolished only in recent years and today that site remains vacant..Today where a computer cartridge refill business, the Tile shop and Adrian’s bar-ber shop isare, previously was where in a 2-storey building Marshall’s Bakery in 1936 operated, until 1948.The Marshalls sold to Bill Wehner. The Wehners subsequently in 1956 sold to Max Lusty, who continued until 1964 when Goodman Haycock took over. Supplying the shop from their bakery off-site initially, before closing it down some years later. There had been accom-modation in the top storey, but since re-moved. Bin Inn and the Salvation Army shop today are where Graham Roberts had relocated his “The Little Wine Shoppe” and where previously probably Scarlett’s Bookshop later followed, by Harding’s, had been. This business was started in1942 by I believe Scarletts., Harding’s

would have been in business for some-thing like 10 years before selling to Jim Sowerbutts in 1964. The latter moved somewhere across the road, renaming the business Bookarama before moving in to the Richmond Mall when it opened up in about 1973. A R Tuffnells plumbing business estab-lished in about 1916 appeared next and where various businesses including the Kebab food outlet are today.Next is the Waimea Electric Power Board, a building complex which was first built about 1937, and in subsequent years has been added to quite consider-ably. Still there today, it houses various retail shops below and administration-type businesses on top.The Richmond Post Office building was next, just before the present Café and Pizza business alongside. Each of these latter two buildings is housed in was once the original Fire Brigade buildings. There is evidence in a photo I have of a building being on this site in 1878 but clearly the buildings occupied there to-day have been built since.

The Membership Draw on Thursday August 19 was worth $1100. Sadly (for them anyway) member number 733 was not on hand to claim the prize. On August 26 member number 21 cashed in on the previous absentee’s bad luck by scooping the jackpotted amount of $1,200. At the most recent board meeting it was de-cided to reduce the starting figure to $200. The first draw on September 2 was membership number 1105 who wasn’t in attendance. The membership draw on the September 9 for $300 was membership number 1057, again drawing blank stares from the audience. $400.00 is up for grabs on September 16. Could this be you?

The Waimea Breakers 3-man Inter-club Snooker team have won the 2010 competition by a clear margin for their sixth successive victory in the event. Ian Ord, Mike Boyd & Nobby Yorwarth had a 18 point lead at the end of the 24 weeks that the season ran over. Ian took the honours for the best winning percentage with a 75% success rate over the 144 games that he played, while Mike won the prize for the highest break with his out-standing 107 effort in round ten. Our Club Championships are next on the agenda, and entries have been open for these during the past three weeks.

tomer service second to none!It’s been a busy winter for the team at Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers with many locals taking advantage of the slower growth to have their mowers and outdoor power equipment serviced. “If you haven’t had your mower or landscaping gear serviced already, then it’s not too late,” says Katrina Puk-lowski, owner operator. “And if

sure we get it for you.” You’ll find everything you need for the workshop or the garden shed amongst the brands they stock, and they can service or repair virtually any make or model of outdoor equipment including Honda, Masport, Stihl, Vic-ta, Briggs and Stratton, Husqvarna, Makita, and Maruyama.“We understand that people are looking for out-standing service and our friendly team make sure that is exactly what you get.

Cricket thankful for indoor training facilityNelson Cricket staff shudder to think where preparations of teams and players for the new season would be at if it wasn’t for the shelter and light in the building formerly occupied by Placemakers in Richmond.Even with synthetic and concrete surfaces in practice nets at various venues, the cold and wet weather and lack of early evening light recently hasn’t been conducive to preparing for a sport which sees it’s local senior competition begin in less than three weeks.Cricket development manager Colin Hosking says, “The old hardware store has kindly been made available to us free of charge by Gibbons Group. It’s set up with two bowling lanes, with a reasonable length run-up, and we have a bowl-ing machine which, when it’s working properly, can fire down balls at about 80mph and has the ability to swing and spin deliveries as required.”Murray Sturgeon, managing director at Rich-mond-based Nelson Pine Industries, has also

chipped in with a few sheets of fibreboard for the floor.Colin says the indoor training facility has play-ers and teams using it seven days a week, and some days several sessions are running.“Nelson’s high performance winter training squad would be hampered without this venue while Waimea College girls team, which plays in the Milo Shield in Christchurch later on, gets good use out of it as do other school teams and senior sides.”Colin says Gibbons have indicated that the building will be available until at least March but Nelson Cricket are looking forward to the time when they have a permanent place of their own. “It’s just something you have to have if you’re serious about having players and teams conditioned and training for competitions. These will begin before the weather settles and you can’t rely on being able to train outside.”Colin is also looking forward to plans, processes and consents being worked through to establish a purpose-built pavilion at Saxton Oval. “We would be hosting some pretty important match-es there this season if we had such a facility and when we have a suitable pavilion at the oval we will join the list of venues in the country which can host some of the lower-tier international test matches; such as Black Caps versus Bangladesh … and perhaps even Pakistan at the moment,” jokes Colin.Saxton Oval comfortably accommodated about 4000 spectators at each of the two HRV Twenty/20 matches played last season and with two-thirds of Canterbury’s sports-loving holi-daymakers heading to the Nelson region each summertime there is plenty of potential for bumper crowds.Colin says Nelson Cricket has extended the of-fer of use of some of its grounds to Canterbury Cricket for the new season. “Repair of quake damaged sports grounds is going to get low priority so the Christcurch area probably won’t be able to host some of the matches and tourna-ments they have already scheduled. Lee Germon (former Tasman Makos CEO and now Canter-bury Cricket CEO) has expressed his gratitude and thanks to our offer, which they’ll consider when things settle down a bit,” says Colin.Waimea College plans to play Stoke-Nayland on September 25 as a warm-up to the Nelson senior cricket competition, which begins in ear-ly October.

Colin Hosking, of Nelson Cricket, loads up the bowling machine at the old Placemakers building on Queen St, which is being used as a indoor cricket training facility.

The experience of a lifetime awaits thir-teen students from Waimea College and twenty four from Marlborough Boys’ College as they set off half way around the world to experience first-hand the origins of Western civilization. On 25th September the students will travel to It-aly, Turkey and Greece for three weeks. The purpose of this school trip is to see first-hand the very things they study and will be assessed on for their Classical Studies exam.In effect, this means that students will be able to visit in real life the places they study in textbooks, see with their own eyes the very pieces of art they study, and walk in the footsteps of the characters they read about. This will be an amazing opportunity for the students. As well as directly helping their studies, expanding their world-view and helping encourage them to be-come citizens with a wider perspective on life, other peoples and places, they will have greater insight in their own day-to-day lives, remembering always that these are the very students who will

one day be the pillars and leaders of our community.The 2010 History and Classics Alive tour will take in sights from Italy, Greece and Turkey over three weeks from September 25 and begins with the group’s arrival in Rome, known as the eternal city. Rome will take the students up close to ancient, medieval and re-naissance wonders. Visits to the Roman Catacombs, Colosseum, Hadrian’s Vil-la, and the Vatican City including Saint Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel are all on the itinerary. From Rome, the tour makes its next stop at the famous WWII battleground of Monte Cassino and the nearby Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery. Two nights are then spent in Sorrento on the Amalfi peninsula. This gives the students access to the ancient city of Pompeii, which was buried under vol-canic ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD before excavations began in 1748. Many of the treasures unearthed at Pompeii will be seen dur-ing a visit to the National Archaeologi-

cal Museum in Naples.Greece is the next stop for the tour, beginning in Delphi – once the holi-est place in all of ancient Greece and wonderfully set in a high mountain range. People would travel here to con-sult the Oracle of Apollo on everything from public policy to personal affairs and matters of the heart. From there, it’s on to the Greek capital Athens. A guided tour takes in many sights of the birthplace of modern democracy, in-cluding the Acropolis, Agora (market place), Temple of Olympian Zeus and the National Archaeological Museum. Thereafter a day trip to the Pelopon-nese includes visits to the ruins of an-cient Corinth and Mycenae, once ruled by King Agamemnon, as well as the famous theatre at Epidaurus with its re-markable acoustics. From Athens, the tour party then makes its way to Turkey by ferry via the beautiful Greek island of Samos. The time spent on Turkey’s Aegean coast includes visits to the archaeologi-cal sites of Ephesus, Pergamum, Assos

and finally Troy, the legendary city im-mortalized in Homer’s epic poem The Iliad. A full day will be spent visit-ing the Gallipoli peninsula where an ANZAC-style memorial service will be held at the New Zealand memorial at Chunuk Bair. Marlborough College Old Boys killed in action during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915 will be re-membered by the laying of poppies at the memorial. Some grave sites will also be visited. The tour then heads for Istanbul, the only city which sits on two continents and where east meets west. Highlights include the magnificent Blue Mosque, the 1500 year old Haghia Sofia and the labyrinth-like Grand Bazaar.The tour is the product of a lot of hard work by teachers, parents and students from both Colleges. It is a credit to local families that so many are willing to sup-port the participation of their children in a once-in-a-lifetime educational experi-ence such as this.

cabling through the fram-ing, walls and ceilings of your home to operate what-ever TV, audio and theatre options you have in mind. Electricians do offer similar services, but specialise more in cabling for your lighting and power requirements. Au-dio and video cabling is quite different. This sort of infra-

structure requires an in-depth knowledge of the compo-nents being plugged into it. Anything less will often mean substandard provi-sions are made for flexible and comprehensive control of your home. High-fidelity engineering and installation is a specialist field, and must be undertaken by a specialist.

The Tasman Tennis Centre evolved in the 1990s, previously the Richmond Tennis Club, and start-ed playing at the current Gladstone Road Site. The move to the Tasman Tennis Centre was un-dertaken to encourage more casual “pay to play” court usage as well as establish a regional base for training and development of players in the region. Tremendous work by past committees led by past President Hans Dukker and current president Rodger Croft has seen the club de-velop from 4 courts to a fantastic 12 hard court, fully lit complex. A new access system means members have well controlled, easy and reliable access to their facilities resulting in a growth in court usage. Regular maintenance and surface renewal ensures that the facilities are the best in the region.TTC will hold a Special General Meeting on Oc-tober 4th at 6.30 PM to finalise the renaming of the TTC to the “Tasman Tennis Club”. Whilst identified as a fantastic “centre”, the “club” ele-ments have dropped off in past years. The TTC aims to re-establish itself as a sporting, social and family hub for the community of Richmond, and as such is offering programs and events to suit all levels of players from juniors to adults wanting to try tennis for the first time.Adult program:This summer TTC will offer a 4 pronged attack to get adult players back on court and (back) into tennis! Try them out at the open day on Sunday (see timetable for times).1. Easi Tennis. For people who haven’t played before and may feel a bit self conscious at hav-ing a go. This course covers the basic technical skills as well as developing confidence to par-

ticipate in social level tennis, particularly dou-bles. It is a non threatening, simple and will help break down any of these tennis barriers! 2. BounceBack Tennis. This program is aimed at getting you back on the court if you have played before but maybe not for a few years. It will up-date you on how the game has changed, let you hit the ball more like the modern players, and reintroduce you to club play and activities. Great fun and exercise as well. 3. Cardio Tennis. For players of any level want-ing to get a work out based tennis experience. Completely non-technical, it aims to get your heart rate up and keep it there! High paced in-tensive drills in a fun and games based situation means with cardio tennis you get on court and get moving! 4. Advanced adults - For existing competition level players wanting to improve technical and tactical skills and train in the methods that top juniors use. Challenge yourself to go to the next level! Junior program: The TTC Junior program has long produced players of an outstanding calibre on the national stage, and now boasts 2 play-ers with ITF Junior World Rankings. We offer something for everybody from 5 years of age upwards - Pee Wee tennis for 5-7 Year olds, Ral-liers - 8-10 Year olds, Smashers - 10 -12 year olds, and Teens - 13-17 year olds.Performance programmes and coaching days are lead by Regional Coaches John Gardiner and Ngaire Calder. All coaches are qualified and experienced, and well schooled in teaching you the latest methods and techniques and, like

For those having difficulty meeting the cost some spon-sorship is available through Firooz. Certificates, awards and prizes will be presented for skills learned.

Many of us have connec-tions with Christchurch and Canterbury. No doubt we were worried when word came of the earth-quake and the widespread damage. Most likely we contacted any family or friends affected, or they contacted us. We give God thanks that no one was killed, despite severe dam-age to some buildings and infrastructure. ‘It’s only bricks and mor-tar,’ was a common phrase heard on our news as peo-ple came to terms with what happened. Events such as the earthquake and its af-termath do remind us again of what is really important in life. Family and friends and our shared lives are what make our existence rich and purposeful. Mere things are secondary.As the immediate dangers subside and life returns to more familiar patterns the people most affected by the

earthquake and its many af-tershocks are now coming to realise the longer term

effects on their lives. As the adrenaline and drama subside, the reality is kick-ing in of the long-term task of fixing what is broken as

well as the increased dif-ficulties in resuming daily life. It is really no wonder that some people are finding it difficult to cope. Emo-tional upset, depression, an increase in family violence have all been reported. How can we help? Some of us may be able to contrib-ute to one of the various relief funds. I have heard of some in our local area who are hosting family or friends from Christchurch to give them a breathing space. Some others have travelled to the affected region to lend a hand. In these ways and others we can be agents of comfort and healing. For Christians, prayer for those hurting is another very practical way of assisting. Through prayer we can share in the kindness and compas-sion of God. Through prayer we realise again the great gift family, friends and those in need are to us.

The Nelson Offroad Racing Club is hosting the Ruff and Tuff 300K En-duro this Saturday September 18 and judging by entries and the proposed course it is shaping up to be a great event. The track, in Dovedale Valley, is a 35K loop combining some fast sec-tions. It should be a challenging and exhilarating track after a lot of time has been spent by some dedicated club members to design and build it. There will be good viewing of the race from different areas around Dove-dale and South Pigeon Valley Road and hot food and drinks, toilet facili-ties etc will be brought in for the day making for an enjoyable day out for the whole family. Entrants include 1NZ Dennis Andreassend, and other promising and well performed locals in Darrin Thomason , Paul Milne, Neville Taylor, and Chris Harper in their trucks, Paul Cooper in his challenger, Ashley Kelly, Gordon Adamson in their buggies and new racers John Van Dyk and Ron McPhail. There are other entries from all over the country including a large Christchurch contingent and even one buggy tripping down from North of Whangarei.The south islanders are looking forward to the competition from the North Island and if successful this may become an annual event.The Nelson club have been working really hard gathering sponsors for the event and would like to thank all the local businesses for getting in behind them. These include GT Radials, Mag and Turbo Warehouse, Repco, Place-makers, Polar Refrigeration, Resene Automotive, Nelson Brake Services, Supercheap Autos, and The Stables Restaurant and Bar. Scrutineering will be on the Friday night at RPM Autos behind McDon-alds in Queen St in Richmond from 5pm – 8pm. Saturday morning rac-ing will start at 10:30am. Entry for spectators is free.

Garin College held its 2nd annual Sports Award Evening celebrating the success of it students throughout the year. This event is unique in that it is entirely organised by the students schools sports committee made up of Beka Kingsbury and Sam Ellis who are the captains of Sport, Lydia Wadsworth, Craig Vaile, Marcus Parker, Declan Cahill, Lauren Murphy and Gemma Doorman. This type of student leadership is a key reason why students and parents choose to come to Garin where such opportu-nities are available. It was fabulously organised and attended by over 200 guests. The guest speaker Chris Jack entertained the crowd by reliving his All Black mem-ories and inspiring the students with ideas for success. Clark Hinton, Jed Bensemann and Nathan Horner entertained with classy instrumental rock music during intervals. There was a focus of the virtues of coaching and managing and the wider benefits to our school community. A speech on this was made by senior students Sarah Quinney and Thomas Ashley. On behalf of all coaches and managers Terry McMahon gave a response noting the positive attitude of students and continual improvement in performance.
