Nelson Weekly is the region’s top emerging business, picking up the award at the prestigious Westpac Nelson Tasman Chamber of Com-merce Business Awards on Friday night.The awards were held at the Trafal-gar Centre with Jennian Homes picking up three gongs; for Supreme Winner, Large Business of the Year and the In-novation Award, sponsored by Westpac, Port Nel-son and Wakatu respectively.Glenn Roberts Electrical was the winner of the Mediaworks Medium Business of the Year award while Jester House Café won the Ra-dio Network Small Busi-ness Award.

A big community effort has cleared 7.5 tonnes of rubbish from Tasman Bay beaches. Around 540 people took part in the second annual Tasman Bay Big Beach Clean-up held on Saturday. They collected rubbish from 295 kil-ometres of coast from Abel Tasman National Park to Cable Bay, includ-ing an old catamaran. Nelson Weekly paddled out to Haul-ashore Island in one of five Waka ama, as 16 members of the Maitahi

Outrigger Canoe Club spent about an hour picking up a mixture of bot-tles, plastic rubbish, old clothing and a car tyre.Returning to the Island for the sec-ond consecutive year, the club mem-bers were delighted to find the Island comparatively trash-free. “We found much less rubbish on the Island this year compared to last year’s litter pick,” says Pete Bywater, club president. That trend was echoed in the over-

all figures around the rest of Tasman Bay. “Beach-cleaning volunteers found less rubbish than last year, when 10.4 tonnes was collected, but still found plenty of litter on coast alongside main roads,” says Rudy Tetteroo the Department of Con-servation community relations pro-gramme manager.The organisers say they had a fan-tastic response from the community

“It’s important that we have a multi-cultural society and that Maori people are represented on the council.”

Lawry Trewavas, Nelson.

“I guess so, although I think it probably needs a lot of public debate before it’s set in stone, to be fair.”

“Yeah absolutely, I totally sup-port it. I think it is really im-portant for everyone to have a say.”

“I’m not really in to politics but I can’t see it being a problem myself.”

again this year and the public were enthusias-tically involved in the spring coastal clean-up. “It’s great to see so many people caring for our beautiful beaches,” says Rudy.Back on Haulashore Island, Pete noted that it is really important to look after what you use so it’s able to be enjoyed in years to come. “Haulashore Island is always a focal point for us when we are on the water, so it’s only right that as a club we do our bit,” he says.It is the most appropriate time of year to run the community-focused clean as cleaner beaches will make them more enjoyable for the thou-sands of locals and holidaymakers who will be making the most of sand, sea and sun this sum-mer. Rubbish removed included plastic, bottles, bits of glass, old tyres, plastic bale wrap and the old catamaran.DOC thanks NELMAC Ltd for their help with traffic management plans for coastal sections.

major competitor, the Australian-owned Nelson Mail – after just 15 months in business, with judges saying it has a sound business model and industry knowledge.Nelson Weekly publisher Steve Page says the win was a huge vote of confidence from the judges.

“It shows that we are having a huge impact on the media market in Nelson. Advertis-ers are getting great feedback and that means we are doing our job. We know the impact we are having on the market, but it’s nice to have that confirmed by inde-pendent judges,” he says. Steve also paid homage to his staff who he says were the difference between good and great.

Councillor hits outMaori seat undemocratic, says Barker

Nelson City Councillor Ian Barker has blasted his colleagues for voting to establish a separate Maori seat on council while he was away in Ja-pan.Ian says he only knew about the contents of the meeting a couple of days prior, after it was left out of the original agenda. He was in Japan on a fact finding exercise into local government at the time.He says the move is undemocratic, and is prom-ising to fight it. “I was disappointed and con-cerned when the council voted to set up a Maori ward when I was absent. The vote most certainly would not have been unanimous had I been pre-sent,” he said in a statement to Nelson Weekly.A petition circulating against the creation of a Maori ward only needs 1700 signatures to send the issue to a referendum, something that mayor Aldo Miccio is resigned to. “Central government has given councils the power to make the deci-

sion but set a really low threshold for a petition. If we said no to it, we would have to wait five years before we could look at it again. Because we said yes we put it in the hands of the peo-ple, if they didn’t like it a petition would easily get enough signatures and we would have a poll. Which it looks like will happen.”But Ian says he warned his fellow councillors against establishing the seat. “The day before the meeting in a face-to-face meeting, I warned the mayor and all councillors, except one who wasn’t present, that it would be a huge mistake to make such a decision based on a late report and on a recommendation that had not been consulted upon. My unheeded warnings of the likely out-comes have, it seems, been exactly as I predicted. There has obviously been a major back-lash from the community.”It is understood as of last night the petition had 600 signatures.

If a tsunami was to ever strike Nel-son, three Garin College students would have it all under control – in theory anyway.Three Garin College students took out the 2011 New Zealand‘s Next Top Engineering Science Competi-tion at the University of Auckland last month, beating more than 110 teams from 65 different schools.The annual competition is a prob-lem solving team event for second-ary students, organised by the Department of Engineering Science.The question for 2011 was how long would be required to evacuate the Te Atatu peninsula in Auckland if a tsunami occurred. The boys used the model of a computer program originally designed for evacuating buildings.After a marathon nine-hour effort, team 1014’s members Benedict Mor-rissey, Matthew Ruffell and Michael Shanaher were announced the winners of the competi-tion and Pullan Prize.“After the nine hours we thought we had done well, but with 117 teams [competing] you never think you’re going to

win,” says Michael. The trio received a combined cash prize of $6000 and have the oppor-tunity to work for Fonterra or Ori-on Health during their university holiday break.Michael says he would like to be an engineer in the Air Force and will use the money to purchase a new laptop. Benedict will put the money towards university studies while Matthew wants to buy a sportscar.

A surgical registryMost wedding-style registries are reserved for hon-eymoon activities and gifts from home-ware stores, but Nelson woman Rebekah Smith is using one to help pay for a potentially life-changing treatment.At 18, Rebekah was one of the youngest people in New Zealand to be diagnosed with Multiple Scle-rosis. The 13 years since have been a combination of hospital visits, chronic fatigue, experimental drugs, horrific side effects and emotional torture.Multiple Sclerosis is a degenerative autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system. It is known to cause severe disability in those it affects. But a new treatment could turn her life around, allowing her to walk unassisted again, regain clear vi-sion and give her an energy kick start. All she needs is $8000 for the private hospital operation for a Venous Angioplasty of the jugular vein, which opens up the vein and helps carry blood around the most important parts of the body – the spinal cord, brain and heart.Rebekah, or Becky, is optimistic about the operation but also “realistic”. She says the operation is reported to work extreme-ly well for some people and little improvements on others. But the risk is low and the possible gains are huge.To help her raise the money, Becky’s friends have set

up an online “registry” where people can buy things associated with the surgery such as surgeon’s gloves (for $14) or flights to Wellington (for $48).So far, more than $5000 of the $8000 has been raised and with just a two week waiting list, Becky says she will go as soon as she has the money.“I’ve been in touch with all the surgeons and I’m a perfect candidate for the operation so it is looking good. They have been really nice and the good thing

with a private hospital is there isn’t much of a waiting list,” she says.While a major operation like this may make some people nervous, Becky has plenty of experience with hospitals and says this will be a walk in the park compared to some other treatments she has endured. She had to inject herself for five years, with the drugs suppressing a relapse of her MS but making her feel like she had “a really, really bad

flu” for that time.She also underwent chemotherapy, which helped get her back on her feet, with the help of a crutch, but took a tough toll on her body.Becky says if the treatment is successful it will change her life. “I’d love to go for a walk on the beach, I can see it from my house but I can’t walk on it, that would be amazing. And not having to walk with a crutch and feeling tired and worn out. It would re-ally change the way I live my life.”To donate or check out Becky’s register visit www.aforb.org.

Eight year world mission complete Nelson’s Mark “Hap” Cameron works on every continent before 30th birthday

Standing on the top of Africa’s highest peak last week, Mark “Hap” Cameron sucked in a big breath and smiled, it was over, he had worked the world.Nelson man Hap Cameron started his working the world quest in 2003. The goal was to work on every continent before his 30th birthday (on 11/11/11). Along the way Hap’s highlights include earning a black belt in Korea, tutoring a millionaire’s son in Spain, relying on a soup kitchen while homeless in Cana-da, watching Michael Campbell win the US Golf Open from a nearby tree in the United States, working at an orphanage in South America, in the mines in Western Australia, as a waiter on a five star cruise ship at Antarctica and, of course, being de-ported from the US.At the start of this year only one continent remained, Africa. Planning the final leg of his journey took Hap some months, he wanted a big bang to end it all. Cycling across Africa to meet a shipping container of disused Australia bikes and then setting up a bike shop not only gave him meaningful work in Africa, but gave him a big project to finish on top. Not big enough though. Hap wanted more and came up with the idea of scaling one of the world’s tallest mountains, Mt Kilimanjaro, and being on top of it on the day of his 30th birthday. Last Friday it was mission complete.Hap jokes he has few possessions but a

lifetime of memories and now the no-madic former Waimea College head boy will compile those memories for a book that is due for release next year, the rights have already been picked up by Australa-sia’s largest independent publisher and he is planning on returning home to Nelson this summer to get started on it.A documentary, following his journey in Africa, has also been filmed with editing to take place this summer.On Hap’s popular blog he wrote of his climb: “My god it was bloody tough. It was my first birthday where I haven’t had a beer and have been in bed before 7pm,” he joked.Finishing the eight-year mission is hard to contemplate says Hap.“It’s hard to believe that nearly a decade ago when I first started thinking about travelling the world, and then when I committed to this goal in early 2003, that I would be standing on Mt Kilimanjaro at age 30 having completed it. “Wow, 2003 seems like such a long time ago. Well I suppose it was. When I stepped onto that plane bound for Korea on April 7, 2003 I had never owned a cell phone and Facebook was just an idea floating around in some soon to be very rich pimply faced teenagers mind.”Hap says he is looking foward to getting back to Nelson, via Melbourne, and start writing his book, which is due to hit stores this time next year.

TUESDAY 22 November 2011

Social events on my calendar tend to be taken up with barbeques at friends’ houses, a trip to the movies or someone’s birthday. Every summer you can throw in a wedding or two in the mix and that’s about the only time I have the need for anything dressier than a pair of jeans and reasonably clean t-shirt.But last week, for the first time since I at-tended a high school ball, I was forced to rent a tux, have a clean shave and look somewhat respectable as we headed along to the black tie only Westpac Nelson Tas-man Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

Now, as a first timer to the awards, I expect-ed the worst; a stuffy, humour-less event where I’d (at 29) but the youngest there by 20-odd years. After all we were only going because we had entered the awards and were a finalist in (as it turned out) two of the category’s.I couldn’t have been more wrong. Perhaps my glasses are slightly rose-tinted because we did actually win an award, but I had a blast. Dot Kettle and the Chamber deserve a massive pat on the back, but so too the business people that turned up for

the event. Business people in this town are sometimes tainted as being clicky, es-pecially the more established. But I spoke with a fair few of them on Friday night at the Trafalgar Centre, some I already knew

and some I didn’t, and I can tell you eve-ryone was gracious, kind and most were good fun.

The messages this newspaper has received from vast sections of the community since we won our award (for Emerging Business of the Year) on Friday has been phenom-enal. If the other winning businesses felt

as honoured as we did I think the awards served their purpose and celebrated not only the best of business success, but the best of the business community and its spirit. Everyone was eager to share in our success and congratulate us.So, thank you to the Chamber for a fantas-tic event, I dear say I will once again have to rent a tux and tidy myself up because we’ll be back to cheer on next year’s win-ners and hopefully make them feel as won-derful as we did on Friday.Our Town is a fortnightly column about our region by Nelson Weekly editor Andrew Board.

This Week 9

NEWS IN BRIEFBACK ON THE BEAT: Nelson’s Street Am-bassadors are back on the late night streets spreading safety messages. The team in their distinctive orange vests will be on duty each weekend from 9.30pm till 4am as the summer party season warms up. Nelson City Coun-cil’s safe city adviser Ingrid Beach says Nelson City Council has been involved in delivering the service since 2004. “Our Street Ambas-sadors now have a very good rapport with the young people who are out partying over summer. Because of that, young people know there are people they can talk to if they are in need of help or advice throughout the night.” Feedback about the Street Ambassador ser-vice is that it plays an important role in re-ducing trouble on the streets over summer and keeping Nelson a safe place for everyone to enjoy.

TOY RUN: It will soon be a sea of sound and colour on Nelson streets, as hundreds of motorcyclists take to the roads of Nelson on Saturday 3 December for the annual Ulysses Nelson Toy Run. Celebrating its 26th year of collection, motorcyclists from all over the top of the south and the West Coast are being asked to decorate themselves and their ma-chines. The event consistently attracts motor-bikes and scooters of all sizes decorated and adorned with various gifts for distribution to the region’s children by the local branch of the Salvation Army.For further information contact: Lorraine Lindsay on 545 1214.

GRADUATE EXHIBITION: NMIT’s gradu-ate show, BAM, is being held from this Satur-day at the brand new NMIT Arts and Media building on Nile St. The exhibition runs for just three days and is open from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday with a late night on Monday, open until 8pm. Artists floor talks on Saturday and Monday 2pm.

The Nelson Hotel

New quiz offers free beerQuiz nights are seeing a sudden surge in popu-larity around New Zealand and the reason is Nothing Trivial. The New Zealand-made television drama which just finished its first season is being credited with drawing more people to existing quiz nights and prompting some new ones to start. Including another in Nelson which kicks off this Wednesday night at the Nelson Hotel [formerly the Royal]. Nelson already has several successful quizzes running in Stoke, Tahunanui and Nelson that have seen a surge in demand since the start of the television show. But the new quiz aims to drag more people into the quiz night fun and is even offering teams free beer.In a special offer to Nelson Weekly readers, if you clip out the coupon at the bottom of this page you will get a free jug of Stoke beer - one per team of five or more people. “Nothing Trivial had quite a big effect in terms of it’s normalised it – we’re definitely seeing an in-

crease in participation,” says Brendan Lochead, founder and director of Auckland company Be-lieve it or Not, which supplies weekly quizzes to 160 venues around the country.The newest quiz night in Nelson is at the Nel-son Hotel which also runs the Believe it or not Quiz format. The quiz master is Classic Hits radio host Becky Morgan. Becky discovered quizzes after filling in for Murray Leaning at the Suburban Club and had such a good time that when the hosting for the Nelson Hotel came up she jumped at the chance. The Hotel was packed for the sports quiz they held for the South Island Masters Games.Nelson Hotel manager Sarah Edgley says the newly refurbished Nelson Hotel is “the perfect venue for a quiz night as there was lots of comfy couches, sifty areas for those who wanted a more intimate evening, lots of table settings and more brightly lit areas for those need to resort to read-ing glasses,” says Sarah.

Garden gifts for the perfect Christmas

Perfect weather finally shone over the A&P Show for the first time in a num-ber of years.Show organisers are esti-mating a crowd of 12,000, which was similar to the past years. Although a final total will be calculated in the coming weeks.The animal nursery along-side a children’s area was the biggest highlight, says manager Liz Harvey.The amount of festival rides was down from past years but New Zealand pop/rock band Hello Sailor were a welcome addition. The New Zealand sheep racing team, the Baa Blacks, made the trip south after being in-volved in Rugby World Cup festival activities.The crowd was “certainly bigger on the Saturday,” says Liz. She says the weather was the best she had seen on show day in the four years she had been involved.

Local firm builds logging’s future

The Ezy Way to Travel

Thinkingof Travelling?Contact Kelly OgilviePh: 03 5444 622 E: [email protected]

www.ezytravel.co.nzUK & Europe Earlybird Fares are here!!

The world’s first purpose-built steep-slope log-ging harvester has already attracted international interest says its local manufacturer. The second prototype of the harvester built by Trinder Engineers was unveiled last week and is expected to extend the boundaries of traditional logging methods, providing a safer and more productive system for logging contractors and forest owners.The excavator-based harvester is the brainchild of Nigel Kelly of Kelly Logging. Nigel was con-cerned about the industries poor safety record when manually felling and recovering trees on steep slopes. Nigel worked closely with Trinder Engineers’ managing director Kerry Hill, and projects manager Mark Lindbom to develop an alternative mechanised system, and over the past four years they have built two prototype ma-chines, the latest given public viewing last week.Previously, excavator-based felling ma-chines and harvesters have been restrict-ed to about 22 degree slopes. The latest prototype can operate on slopes up to 50 degrees, double the former limit, due to a unique winch system which assists traction when the machine climbs steep slopes.The harvester weighs 43 tonnes. It has a felling head attachment which allows the operator to cut down trees and stack them for extraction by cable or alternate ground based systems, doing the work of three men but in much safer conditions. “Vol-ume and value recovery are also greatly improved using this system. Over the next 10-15 years there’s going to be more logging on steep country and we’ve now developed a system to harvest these trees, and safer too,” says Kerry.The first prototype was built in 2008 and

has clocked up over 4,700 hours of work. With the knowledge gained, a number of improve-ments were designed into the second prototype. The second prototype is now ready to be test-ed, and Kerry is confident that it could be just months before a commercial model is available.“Prototype one, from 20 metres looks like a nor-mal excavator, but with this new one everybody can see it’s something quite different.“This is the largest development project we’ve been involved with. This is a world first. There’s nothing in the world like it.”Kerry says there will always be forestry too steep for machinery, but this is a huge step in the right direction. Kerry believes right now it would take five months to build another steep slope harvest-er, however they will not go to market until all testing is complete. Trinder’s has the capability to ramp up operations to meet future demand. Already a number of forest contractors have ex-pressed great interest in the new harvester.

• Six container ships, a tug from Taranaki, the regular cement ship, the big car carrier, 15 big fishing vessel movements along with sev-eral smaller ones, and a large fertiliser vessel rounded off a busy week for the port.• It was good to see a successful Search and Rescue exercise being conducted by the Po-lice, Coastguard, Surf Rescue, and the Har-bour Master’s staff. Many thanks to all those that took part in the trying conditions. Thanks also to the Talisman Cadet unit volunteers that came along as look outs. Your assistance was greatly appreciated.• It was business as usual for the various codes around the port. It is always good to see several different sports cooperating and enjoying the harbour resource.• Beware the wind against the tide phenom-ena. Waves are normally steeper and bigger in these conditions and many small boats can be caught unawares. Such conditions on Thurs-day night provided a challenge to the 150 odd swimmers who took part in the opening night of the summer sea swim series.

TUESDAY 22 November 2011 This Week12

Who do you want to represent Nelson?With the general election just four days away we asked Nelson candidates for the two major parties why they should get your vote

What in your mind is the biggest issue facing Nelson over the next 3 to 5 years?Maryan Street: Economic growth – equitably distrib-uted. This region needs to step up a notch and develop more value-added products out of the fine primary pro-duce for which we are famous already. This requires re-search and development and access to investment capital.

Labour has a clear plan to deliver that to business, from reinstating an

R&D tax credit, to building our savings and refocusing invest-ment through a capital gains tax so that our clever produc-

ers can develop new products. This will mean more jobs, better jobs, more highly skilled workers

and better pay. That will assist peo-ple with their housing

costs because it is the combination of low wages and high house costs which will continue to

stifle growth in Nelson if noth-ing changes. In turn, this will mean more money in circulation to support retailers and small busi-nesses which make Nel-

son the diverse community it is.Nick Smith: The biggest issue for Nelson is the economy – jobs, keeping the cost of living under control, exports, and debt. National’s 120-point plan of balancing the books soon-er, growing exports, investing in infrastructure, ensuring public services are efficient, ensuring skills training is rel-evant, and reducing red tape is the best hope for Nelson and New Zealand in these tough economic times. It is initiatives like expanding King Salmon and the Lee Valley Community Dam that will grow Nelson exports and create real wealth.What’s been the highlight of the election campaign for you?NS: My campaign highlight was our launch at Tahunanui Beach with Prime Minister John Key. So many Nelson families came out and the Prime Minister was in great form. It was warm, friendly and Nelson at its best.MS: The unexpected presentation to me at my campaign launch of a korowai (cloak) as a sign of respect from Labour supporters.What’s been the low point of the campaign so far?NS: The dirty tricks. The painting from artist Sam Mahon in Canterbury of an assassinated John Key was just crass, the deliberate and planned vandalism of National’s bill-boards by the Greens, and the taping of John Key’s private conversations. I think the media did themselves a disser-vice in demanding the tape be released.MS: Some of the graffiti on hoardings has been offensive. Candidates always say it goes with the territory, but when it gets obscene and personal as it has on occasion this time, it sometimes makes me wonder why I put myself up for this.How do you intend to celebrate if you win Nelson this Saturday?MS: Quietly and thoughtfully.NS: The Nelson National Party will be holding our election night party at HQ for our 200 odd election day volunteers.

It will be a nervous night – I’ve got a feeling it might be a bit like the Rugby World Cup final and a sense of relief rather than a big celebration.What are the top three goals you would like to achieve for Nelson over the next three years?NS: I’ve set out a twelve point plan for the next three years around three themes of: • Growing our exports and creating jobs which includes initiatives like aqua-culture, the Lee Valley community dam, ultra-fast broadband and the Cawthron.• Improving our health and edu-cation services which includes the new after-hours GP clinic, Nelson teen parent unit, Nelson Trades Academy and the Rich-mond special needs unit;• Making our community safer and cleaner which includes reducing city violence, cleaning up Stoke’s streams, new cycleway along Rock’s Rd and the earthquake up-grade of the School of Music.MS: More and better paid jobs, lower housing costs, and eco-nomic growth and develop-ment.

Contradiction is when another per-son or group of peoples statements or actions are denied by another group of individuals. This in our usual life is seen as an argument or fight, which we all know, I hope, is very destructive to communities and relationships. Let’s give an example. In the latest Nelson Weekly there was an article advertising a biker group’s poker ride, “Bike club hosts poker run”. If the circumstances were not how they were at the present time I would have no problem with this event, it is just some fun, all good. The problem arises from the coun-tries present situation. There are hundreds and thousands of families in Nelson and around New Zealand that are dysfunctional and abusive because they are under the influ-ence of alcohol, drugs, pornogra-phy or gambling. This is not alright. This is why community groups like the Woman’s Refuge, Victory Com-munity Centre and Child Support are working their butts off helping to stop these things from going on. It is going against the vision of a country to be free of poverty when people organise gambling, drinking or sexual events to take place. This has got to stop, or else we, Nelson as a city and New Zealand as a coun-try, will not be able to survive as a community, especially if the finan-cial situation gets any worse. Come on, change your lives around. If you don’t want to do it for yourself, do it for the youth, it’s their future.

Mathew Buckingham (aged 17), Toi Toi, Nelson.

Matthew, thanks for your letter. And well done for someone so young. You bring up some relevant points however consider this: we sub-scribe to individual responsibility. Don’t blame someone or something

else if you are having trouble. Seek help and support. Most of the guys who are going on this poker run are businessman who have fun do-ing this and do it to relax. They then return to their industries, jobs and families a little more relaxed and focused. If we ban this type of thing Matthew and we can’t “play” who is it that pays the wages, creates and maintains industry and helps pay for the education system that trains all of the social workers and health professionals you talk about? As a community we do need to help each other so why stop us from enjoying ourselves? We don’t pour grog or drugs down anyone’s mouth, or hit random strangers or abuse anyone’s family. As for sexual........? We won’t be changing our lives we enjoy them just the way they are. Keep voicing your opinion Matthew for sure, but understand you may not be spot on all the time.

Steve Page,Nelson Weekly Publisher and biker.

I take issue with Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio’s assertions (Nelson Weekly, letters, Nov. 15) about the absence of proper council consultation. The Trafalgar Park upgrade was overwhelmingly opposed by rate-payers and received a record num-ber of submissions. Council simply ignored ratepayer concerns about the huge cost and the subsequent ef-fect on rates.There is no comparison between that “consultation” and Nelson council’s dictatorial arrangements for a Maori Ward seat to replace one of the at-large council seats. This is a funda-mental constitutional change. Only fascist governance would envisage making such a change without pub-lic consultation.Council will be challenged for its inept and undemocratic decisions, which have destroyed any chance of amalgamation. Dan McGuire, Nelson.

Contradiction is when another per-son or group of peoples statements or actions are denied by another group of individuals. This in our usual life is seen as an argument or fight, which we all know, I hope, is very destructive to communities and relationships. Let’s give an example. In the latest Nelson Weekly there was an article advertising a biker group’s poker ride, “Bike club hosts poker run”. If the circumstances were not how they were at the present time I would have no problem with this event, it is just some fun, all good. The problem arises from the coun-tries present situation. There are hundreds and thousands of families in Nelson and around New Zealand that are dysfunctional and abusive because they are under the influ-ence of alcohol, drugs, pornogra-phy or gambling. This is not alright. This is why community groups like the Woman’s Refuge, Victory Com-munity Centre and Child Support are working their butts off helping to stop these things from going on. It is going against the vision of a country to be free of poverty when people organise gambling, drinking or sexual events to take place. This has got to stop, or else we, Nelson as a city and New Zealand as a coun-try, will not be able to survive as a community, especially if the finan-cial situation gets any worse. Come on, change your lives around. If you don’t want to do it for yourself, do it for the youth, it’s their future.

Mathew Buckingham (aged 17), Toi Toi, Nelson.

Matthew, thanks for your letter. And well done for someone so young. You bring up some relevant points however consider this: we sub-scribe to individual responsibility. Don’t blame someone or something

else if you are having trouble. Seek help and support. Most of the guys who are going on this poker run are businessman who have fun do-ing this and do it to relax. They then return to their industries, jobs and families a little more relaxed and focused. If we ban this type of thing Matthew and we can’t “play” who is it that pays the wages, creates and maintains industry and helps pay for the education system that trains all of the social workers and health professionals you talk about? As a community we do need to help each other so why stop us from enjoying ourselves? We don’t pour grog or drugs down anyone’s mouth, or hit random strangers or abuse anyone’s family. As for sexual........? We won’t be changing our lives we enjoy them just the way they are. Keep voicing your opinion Matthew for sure, but understand you may not be spot on all the time.

Steve Page,Nelson Weekly Publisher and biker.

I take issue with Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio’s assertions (Nelson Weekly, letters, Nov. 15) about the absence of proper council consultation. The Trafalgar Park upgrade was overwhelmingly opposed by rate-payers and received a record num-ber of submissions. Council simply ignored ratepayer concerns about the huge cost and the subsequent ef-fect on rates.There is no comparison between that “consultation” and Nelson council’s dictatorial arrangements for a Maori Ward seat to replace one of the at-large council seats. This is a funda-mental constitutional change. Only fascist governance would envisage making such a change without pub-lic consultation.Council will be challenged for its inept and undemocratic decisions, which have destroyed any chance of amalgamation. Dan McGuire, Nelson.

Purchase some of the plants at the nursery and you’ll notice all the packaging is ei-ther reusable or recyclable.Achieving sustainability requires both atten-tion and innovation, with every contribution building towards the “sustainability culture” of a workplace. “Our staff come up with new ideas on a weekly basis, leading to changes in practice that all help to keep us in business,” says Robert Fryer, Parks

and Reserves manager at Nelmac.The awards celebrated contributions of many sizes from school and community groups to sus-tainable design and environmental leadership. A total of 59 entries were received this year and their quality provided a “challenge” for the judg-ing panels.“This is a great way for us to celebrate all the cre-ativity, innovation and hard work that is happen-ing in our community. Many of these projects offer some valuable lessons and inspiration for us all,” says co-organiser Karen Lee.Other category winners were: Community Groups – Motueka Arts Council. Heritage sites – Fellworth House. Environmental Leadership – Julie McLintock. Heritage culture – Dramatix Theatre Development Trust. Schools – Mapua School Tane’s Ark. Sustainable Design – Judith Ritchie. Best Use of Renewable Energy – Solar Rosa Home. Rural – Lindy Kelly.

Q: Every year I plan to save for Christmas, but don’t. I end up putting all my Christmas spending on my credit card and pay if off later instead. Have you got some suggestions for how I can be better prepared? A: Now is the time to start planning and saving for Christmas.

Saving for Christmas

Sponsored by New Zealand Lotteries

Start putting aside money now for this Christmas Talk to your family about present expectations. Set a price limit. You could suggest one person to buy for one other Decide on a total amount to spend on presents, and food. Stick to it. Make presents, grow plants, buy second-hand presents or make vouchers in exchange for your time. Start planning now for next year. Pay weekly installments into a separate untouchable Christmas account at your bank. Buy Christmas food vouchers from your supermarket each week - they are usually worth more when you cash them in. If you join up to a Christmas buying scheme, know what you are getting for your money. It may well be cheaper to save up and buy your own food and presentsThe Christmas spirit is about people not things. Keep your celebrations simple. Remember your presence is more valuable than presents.

TUESDAY 22 November 2011

The Tasman Rugby Union has ap-pointed a new CEO after the resig-nation of Peter Barr last month.Andrew Flexman, the current chief executive of the NZ Rugby Foundation, has been ap-pointed to the role, an-nounced TRU chairman Nick Patterson over the weekend. Andrew has pre-viously worked for various law firms specialising in employment law and civil litigation. Tasman Rugby Union ad-ministers the game in Nel-son, Tasman and Marlborough, from a junior level to the Makos.Andrew says he is looking forward to taking up the role and building

on the momentum created by the union in recent years. “I have long been an admirer of Tasman rugby and am committed to ensuring that

top flight rugby stays in the region in the years ahead.” Nick says he is thrilled with the appointment. “Andrew’s experience as a director of the Chiefs franchise and the Counties Manukau Rugby Union, and his time with the Rugby Foundation, will be beneficial to the Tas-man Rugby Union. He un-derstands the issues facing

provincial unions in the challenging economic times we currently face.”He takes up the role from January 23, 2012.

There was one birthday present that stood above the rest for Nelson’s George Bennett.The newly 21 year-old has signed a two-year professional contract with one of the world’s highest profile cycling teams, RadioShack Nis-san Trek.George impressed nine-time Tour de France winning director Johan Bruyneel when he spent part of the year as a stagiare, or apprentice, with the old RadioShack squad. RadioShack Nissan Trek has already signed some of the world’s leading cyclists including Fabian Cancellara and the Schleck brothers, Andy and Frank.George, a former Waimea College student, lik-ened being a stagiare to a “really big job inter-view.” He will also be joined by good friend and former Trek Lives-trong Under-23 team-mate Dale Parker in the coming year. He says the two-year deal is customary for all new profes-sionals, giving him time to work his way into the team’s culture. “I’ll start working [my way] up in the second year,” says George. “It’s such a huge step up, it’s just so fast. So it’s really important that in that first six months I adapt to liv-ing like a pro; being away and finding a house.”But George is keen to perform straight away. “I don’t want to get off on a bad start.”In 2009 George joined an ama-teur French team following a career in mountain biking. He worked his way on to a better team, before joining the Un-der-23 Trek Livestrong team in Boulder, Colorado.George says it was the most fun he’s had during his sport-ing career. “They were all real cool guys. Axel Merckx was awesome to have as your di-rector, it was just fun the whole time. We had a lot of fun off the bike but as soon as we got on the bike our team was just so powerful. It was some of the

best Under-23 riders in the world and riding with guys like that really made you step up.”On December 3, George will join his new mates at an eight-day training camp in Calpe, Spain, before returning home for Christmas.First on the agenda for 2012 with be the Rabo-Direct Elite Cycling Nationals in Christchurch.RadioShack Nissan Trek has a service course in Belgium and the team is registered in Lux-embourg, although the majority of the training camps are held in Spain.In two year’s time, George is targeting a spot in one of the three grand tours; Tour of Spain or Tour of Italy. “It won’t be the Tour de France, but eventually over five or six years I’d love to be part of the Tour de France. But with the roster that our team has, to get in the Tour de France team you have to be one of the best in the world.”

learning is encouraged, fostered and extended through the early childhood curriculum Te Whariki and Playcentre philosophy. This learning is supported by knowledgeable and trained adults on session. Nelson Playcentres Association Office Administrator and Finance Convener Karmin Marchbanks says children feel a sense of belonging and well-being at Playcentre because they are learning alongside their parents. Parents are encouraged to be part of their children’s education, “Parents can be involved in their children’s play and work with other parents to make

learning opportunities for their children.” The centre also runs the Supporting Parents Alongside Childrens Education (SPACE) programme for first time parents and babies. The programme has 12 families enrolled and is designed to give parents a chance to relax and play with their children. It is a way they can spend time with the other parents in a supportive environment. The programme runs for 3-4 terms and parents meet once a week. Natural toys such as pine cones and wool are encouraged and as they get older play dough, paint and sand is introduced. They enjoy a range of activities including art, first aid, swimming, te reo, guest speakers, learning about baby nutrition, teething and other things associated with babies development.

The Playcentre is open on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 9.30-12noon. The first three visits are free. The centre welcomes families along with their children from birth to 6 years of age. If you are interested in finding out more about the Playcentre contact Karmin Marchbanks on 544 2191 or email [email protected] or drop into the centre and check out one of their sessions.

Tasman Bay snapper are still proving to be a bit elusive, but it is just a matter of time before they will be more consistent in numbers with the water temperature starting to rise. Last weekend a 17lb snapper was caught in Kenepuru but it is still hard work with a lot of sharks about. We also have word of some large cod being caught off Witts Rock and our Dawnbreaker divers sighted some kingfish at The Glen last week, which means they will start to move down the boulder bank in the coming weeks.Kayak Fishing is experiencing an amazing increase in popularity and is now recognised as one of the fastest growing water sports in New Zealand and certainly it’s making fishing far more accessible to all. Our kayak fishers have been hauling in some great sized gurnard, new season snapper and terakihi. Tip for kayak fishing and catching gurnard at Delaware Bay – paddle out on the outgoing tide or you’ll be paddling backwards!! Head out to around 50ft of water where the sand meets the mud, anchor up here (don’t drift) use a size 5 hook, 1 inch cube pilchards for bait and suspend your bait just off the ocean floor, sit back and smile!! This method has produced Gurnard up to 1.13kg!!The next Dawnbreakers social evening is 7pm Saturday, December 3 at the Nelson Suburban Club. Anyone interested in joining the club is welcome to come along and meet other mad keen fisherman.
