The Nelson-Tasman district is poised for an investment injec-tion unlike anything it has ever seen and on a scale that will see the region’s growth skyrocket, says a local expert.By the middle of 2013 local iwi should start to see Treaty of Waitangi settlements from the Government transferred to it, to the tune of an estimated $300-400 million.Nelson City Council Maori li-aison officer Geoff Mullen says most of that money will be in-vested in the top of the south and will see growth in the region on a scale never seen before.It comes at a time when Nelson businesses are already experi-encing growth with the region’s Economic Development Agency chief executive Bill Findlater saying Nelson is in for a “bloody exciting” future on the back of the iwi investment and Nelson’s current business expertise, es-pecially in primary production,

like growing and producing food.Local iwi and businesses are already engaging in how that money will be invested with a conference to be held in just over a week at Nelson’s Ruther-ford Hotel.Geoff says the investment will most likely be in horticulture, aquaculture, viticulture and for-estry, areas Nelson already does really well in.He says local iwi are unlikely to “blow” their settlement like Taranaki iwi Ngati Tama did earlier this year, investing their entire settlement into a failed IT company.“There are two reasons that is very unlikely to happen here, one iwi have big brother down the road in Ngai Tahu who has been there and done that and they are very willing to lend their help and expertise. Secondly, and they’ll hate me saying this, but Maori are very conservative

Some locally photographed postcards are becoming so rare that historians are now willing to pay hundreds of dollars for them – so don’t tell them you’ve just taken an album to the refuse centre.A large group of postcard collec-tors and historians from around New Zealand visited Club Waimea for the NZ Postcard So-ciety’s annual convention where stories were uncovered through the text on the back of the cards while others were more interest-ed in adding to their particular collection. One of those post-card collectors looking to add to his collection was Richmond’s Rob Packer. Rob has gathered more than 2000 postcards dur-ing the past 30 years – most of those showcasing photos that have otherwise been lost all together. “I was in an antique shop one day and I bought an old postcard, took it home and I thought it was quite interesting. I’ve always liked Nelson history but this particular passion began when I picked up that card.”Once his collection grew, Rob made contact with others around the country. “Before you knew it, there was a society starting up.”Rob manages Richmond An-tiques and Curios and says he collects other bits and pieces that revolve around the region. He says his collection won’t ever stop and that he is always seek-ing historic postcards from the region.

investors. They will scrutinise any business before investing.”The investment will “inevitably” see more people moving to the region on the back of the settlement and more Maori-owned companies in Nelson and Tasman says Geoff. “The whole community will benefit from this because Maori see themselves as guardians of this area. They have been here for hundreds of years and will be here hundreds of years from now so their goals are in sync with the rest of the community, clean water, sustainable practices and en-suring future generations have op-

portunities.”Pipfruit New Zealand chair Na-dine Tunley says there will be huge spinoffs for everyone involved if there was to be a financial injection of that size. “Any industry is going to ben-efit from an injection of that sort of size. If you’re going to pump up to $400 million into the Tasman-Nelson region the multiplier effect alone would be massive. Everyone will benefit without ques-tion.”Bill Findlater says Nelson is on the cusp of a “very bright future” on the back of the food the region produc-

es and the likely investment from iwi. “I have a firm belief that Nelson will be one of the leading regions in New Zealand, it’s bloody exciting.

The strength of our region is our primary sector and I would expect iwi to look to our primary sector in different forms to invest in and that will create oppor-tunities not only for iwi but for the rest of the region.” Nelson mayor Aldo Mic-cio says the council already

has a strong relationship with Maori and the settlement is great news for the region.“It’s the biggest economic devel-opment gain in the region and it’s probably one of the biggest cash in-jections that Nelson has ever seen. They want to keep the money in the region and they are long-term play-ers so it’s a very good thing. It can only be extremely positive for Nel-

son.” Four years ago iwi received an aqua-culture settlement from the govern-ment and Geoff says that experience will help iwi plan and move forward with its latest settlement.“They’ve already started working on collaboration and they’ve start-ed working with a lot of businesses around town discreetly. I think peo-ple would be quite amazed where they have got money invested if they knew.”Geoff says most Nelsonians have lit-tle idea about the scale of the invest-ment and it will flow to the whole community. “What’s good for Mao-ri is good for the whole community.This isn’t a takeover or a ‘you’ll do it my way now’, it’s actually ‘let’s work in partnership and make a better region’.”The conference for local iwi and businesses is to be held on October 18 and 19 at the Rutherford Hotel.

Salisbury hope meeting can stop school closureSalisbury School representatives hope a last minute meeting with the minister of education can save the school two weeks after its final sub-mission deadline.Salisbury School principal Brenda Ellis will meet Hekia Parata in Wellington with board of trus-tees members Helen McDonnell, Peter Campbell and Kelly Wood.The Ministry of Education is look-ing at closing two schools for stu-dents with intellectual disabilities or social-behaviour difficulties in favour of a wrap around service at public schools. It is also encouraging Salis-bury School students to attend the co-education Halswell Residential School in Christchurch.The visit to Wellington will be the first time that anyone from the school has had the chance to talk face-to-face with the minister of education regard-ing the future of the school. Helen says the quar-tet is keen to hear from the minister directly on what her views are for retaining Salisbury. “We really appreciate the minister opening her door to us and as we want a positive and constructive meeting. The doors have not closed on Salisbury yet, and we are doing everything we can to keep them open for the current and future students of Salisbury,” she says.The Ministry of Education released what was ex-pected to be its final decision last month. It gave the school 28 days to challenge the decision to close the school before the end of the year. However, the Ministry of Education’s group manager for special education Brian Coffey says

no final decision has been made and that the minister is still considering the submission.Salisbury School employs more than 60 staff and cares for around 65 students, with another 30 based in its outreach programme.If it is decided that Salisbury School is to close, a change manager will be engaged to support the board to manage that process. Assets that be-long to the board are owned by the Crown and can only be passed on to another state school. It

is expected that if the proposal is ap-proved, some of the assets from Salis-bury School would go to the special residential schools in Christchurch and Auckland, and some distributed to schools in the Nelson area. When a school closes, the Ministry of Education considers whether the land and buildings are required for further educational purposes, despite opening a Maori immersion school next door at the cost of $4 million just months af-ter pushing for the closure of Salisbury

School.If the land and buildings are not used for further education purposes, they are put into the dispos-al process under the Public Works Act. The pro-cess involved with the disposal of Crown owned land and buildings is “complex”, according to Brian. It passes through several stages, being ini-tially offered to other government agencies for their use, and if not required it is then offered to the original owners. If it is not required there, it is passed to the Office of Treaty Settlements to be offered as part of a treaty claim. If iwi do not want the land and buildings it then comes onto the open market for sale. This process can take up to two years to complete.

SBL still seek second stop

Drivers’ attitudes are to blameThe club captain of the Tasman Wheel-ers says motorists’ attitudes are to blame for near misses, not infrastruc-ture.Dean Fulton shared his views on the current cycle debate, following last week’s article in the Waimea Weekly where engineer and former police officer Peter Todd raised concerns around the amount of near misses on the Brightwater Bridge. Peter says they are due to cyclists not using the safety lanes provided, despite calls for a simi-lar lane on the Appleby Bridge.Dean, who lives in Hope and com-mutes to Mapua for work on his bike each weekday, says the amount of near

misses continues to grow and it won’t be long before a cyclist is killed on the road.But that problem is not due to narrow bridges or the inability to use cycle lanes, it is the fact everyone using the road is trying to get to their destination as fast as they can, Dean explains.He agreed that the Brightwater Bridge was wide enough to cycle on and says cyclists don’t use cycle lanes because they are littered with broken bottles and debris. “It comes down to the fact that people just aren’t sharing the road anymore,” says Dean. “Roads were de-signed to get people from ‘A to B’ safely and now people are using them to get from ‘A to be B’ as quickly as possible and anything that gets in the way is just

a complete inconvenience.”Dean believes there is too much “get off the road” attitude from motorists and noted that drivers are more leni-ent towards cyclists and pedestrians in Europe. “They have a rule where the little has the right of way. I don’t think we’re going to get that here but there needs to be a swing of attitude that we’re all just trying to get from ‘A to be B’ and some people are exercising.” And the problems don’t just stop with cyclists either. Dean believes this ongo-ing issue is also affecting road work-ers, pedestrians, horse riders, roadside lawn mowers and anyone actively us-ing the side of the road. “I’m not point-ing at car drivers or truck drivers, we’re all one species.”

SBL remain certain that an extra loop in Rich-mond is just a short term solution to blocking up traffic in Sundial Square and believe the council is not coming to the party to accommo-date them.Police warned the bus company that its driv-ers would receive parking infringements for what was essentially double parking in Sundial Square. Because there is only one stop on that end of Croucher St, which Tasman District Council created after a request from SBL, buses were blocking off traffic on the one way, one lane street if there was an overlap in scheduling.The solution requires the first bus to leave Sun-dial Square, going down McGlashen Ave and McIndoe Pl, parking on Queen St and then re-entering Sundial Square for a second time.SBL spokesperson Tom Heaphy says while the extra loop is “working” it is “less than ideal” and

is far from permanent. “We’re finding TDC’s in-decisions are really dragging us along and lead-ing to a bit of continued disruption to a service that is otherwise running really well,” he says.Patronage figures had risen above expectations since Nelson City Council and SBL began the NBus service.Tom says the best case scenario is turning the two car parks behind the current bus stop into a second stop. “It seems pretty simple from our point of view but apparently not from TDC’s.”But TDC transportation manager Gary Clark says there have been no complaints since the ex-tra loop was put in place. Gary did acknowledge that it was just a temporary solution. However, neither party is yet to agree on what that perma-nent solution will be, and talks are still on going. So it appears the bus is not the only one going round in circles.

Business Update. Adv.

Have a clean, hygienic and pest free summerIt’s timely for business and homeowners to con-sider how best to set up work and the home environment for a clean, hygienic and pest free summer this spring.Carpet Cleaning - Following the winter car-pets are generally at their worst with soiling, stains and ingrained dirt and odour. In this state they’re less hygienic and a potential harbourage for mites, fleas and potentially harmful bacteria and viruses and pose a hazard to asthma suf-ferers and immune compromised people. Have your carpets cleaned for health and to prolong your carpets life - not just looks alone.The only way to clean carpet for health is to use the hot water extraction method. This method involves truck-mounted machines that heat the water to a level that will kill bacteria and virus, flushing carpet from the tip to deep down on the fibre base. Enviro only uses this hot water ex-traction method combined with cleaning solu-tions that have the international CRI Gold Seal of Approval and are biodegradable.Failing to remove ingrained soiling severely re-duces the life of a carpet and the aesthetic ap-pearance drops off rapidly leaving the carpet looking old, dirty and worn with tracking marks in high foot traffic areas. It’s really important to remove this ingrained soil from low down in the carpet fibres to prevent this from worsening and becoming permanent. We often hear from cli-ents that the carpet looked really good for the first three or so years and rapidly deteriorated after this. This is due to the abrasive action of

the fine sand like soil permanently damaging the carpet fibres. Enviro’s technicians are IICRC certified in car-pet cleaning, stain removal, mould remediation, odour control, flood and fire restoration. Pest Control - Springtime is the most effective pre-emptive time for pest control management for flies, fleas, ants and spiders. As the ambi-ent temperatures increase new life cycles start and insect pests become more active and vis-ible. What seemed a minor infestation over the cooler months may turn into a full scale nui-sance or health risk. Early preventative spraying for spiders and flies is the most effective means of preventing a problem developing later in the season. Our Enviro operators are approved handlers and Urban Pest Management certified to ensure that they have the appropriate training and ex-perience in product selection, safe handling, the required understanding of entomology and the correct tools, products and application methods required to keep homes, businesses, pets and people safe.In order to ensure the safety of you and your family or employees and compliance with regu-lations always ensure your technician has EPA approval and holds an Approved Handler Cer-tificate.If you would like to discuss your carpet cleaning, pest control requirements or any of our other services please call us on 548 2831 or 0800 744 272 for 24/7 response.

Urgent work to fix erosionUrgent work has begun to correct erosion at the Reservoir Creek near Salisbury Rd before it causes physical damage.The affects of last December’s flooding could have resulted in loss of land, now that the stream had changed its course. The stream was beginning to undercut private and public property, and one of the walking tracks near the stream has been closed until all rock work and tree repairs are complete.The work in-cludes bank protection and grade control through the two sides. “There’s one public re-taining wall which we are concerned about. It hasn’t got too bad but the progress suggests that it potentially could so they want to get in now,” says TDC communi-cations manager Chris Choat.Contractors will assess the rest of the creek throughout the process to see if other areas are in need or urgent attention. There are two hot spots at the Reservoir Creek that are currently being worked on.

Richmond Community Police are looking for someone to fill a new paid position that will coordinate with all of Waimea’s neighbourhood support groups.The successful applicant will be in-volved across all 70 of the neigh-bourhood support groups in the wider Richmond area, working be-tween 12 and 20 hours a week. It is likely that the role will only be re-quired for 12 hours a week in the be-ginning and the hours will increase in time.Richmond councillor Kit Maling

says the coordinator will need to contact all of the groups on a regu-lar basis, making sure they have up to date information from police and ensuring the groups are getting sta-tistics on crime trends within their area.Kit says the role will also help ensure better communication in the event of a civil emergency and recalled incidences in Christchurch where particular groups were able to come to the need of residents during a snow storm.The community coordinator must

have a full driver’s license and own a vehicle. A flexible approach to work hours is required, they must have good computer skills, be a good communicator with strong relation-ship building skills, comfortable with public speaking, have sound problem solving, a ‘can do’ attitude and a good sense of humour.To apply for the position, please submit a CV and a cover letter to Neighbourhood Support Waimea P O Box 3026 Richmond. Phone 543 9500 for further details.Applications close on October 19.

Origin gets backing from music starNelson’s finest young dance crew got some star power advice just days be-fore jetting off to the Unite World Hip-Hop Championship in the Neth-erlands.Chart topping boy band Titanium were in town on Saturday and with them was solo artist J Williams, him-self a former Hip-Hop Unite attendee. The Car Company Origin Dance Crew were invited to perform alongside their idols at Nelson College over the weekend and got some key feedback from J Williams.Origin has been together in its cur-

rent format for the past year and fea-tures Bride-Rose Downing, Hayley Barnett, Jorgia Marsh, Hana Morris, Meila Wilkins, Lucy Everett and Ash-ley Belk. They are coached by Gemma Laing.Lucy says performing alongside Ti-tanium and J Williams was the “best thing” the group had ever done. “It was good because it was serious but we were able to have some fun as well. He [J Williams] actually asked us to per-form our world’s set, which was amaz-ing that he asked us.”Meila, who is also the group’s chore-

ographer, says they were relieved to be finally going to the world champion-ship after weeks of rigorous training. “We had 16 hours of training last week between four days so once we leave I hope it’ll all be worth it,” she says. “We’re not going there to lose. We’re going to try our darn hardest to come back with a gold medal.”Origin will be the only New Zealand crew in the junior category, which is for competitors aged between 13 and 17 years old. They will also perform at Coca Cola Christmas in the Park.

Brightwater School is relocating two concrete turtles as the construction of the town’s iconic water wheel nears.The turtles are situated in the exact garden at the front of the school where the replica water wheel will be built.It is unsure how long the two turtles have been at the school. However, Brian Batchelor, who was school principal from 1962 to 1986, believes they would have been there for at least 40 years. The turtles were built as prototypes to similar turtles at the Lions Playground at Tahunanui Beach. They were donated to the school and then

painted by students.Brian says children used to hug and sit on the turtles when they were first put in place. “You’d always find little ones draped around their necks.Current principal Gerald Baldwin says it was important to ensure the turtles were kept in the school grounds because of their historic value to the school. “It’d be nice to see kids enjoy their company,” says Gerald. “I know people who are now in their 40s who remember playing with the turtles so we’ll be very careful to make sure we move them with the care that they deserve.”The first working bee to clear vegetation in the garden was held on the weekend. The water wheel has been the school’s logo for a number of years.

A Tahunanui woman has taken home an iPad thanks to GJ Gardner Homes and her husband’s clever calculations.GJ Gardner ran an apple counting competi-tion at the Home & Garden Show in Nelson last weekend. Helene Thomson’s husband was the only person to correctly guess 767 apples. Helene says he’s a “mathematics genius”. How-ever, maths was not her strong point.

What was the last movie you saw? How did it make you feel? What did it make you think? In the early years, the church pulpit greatly influenced our nation and people valued the church’s voice in the community. Of course, we live in a different world to-day and most people are no longer going to church to get values and worldviews. So, where are we now getting our wisdom and worldviews? Research suggests that up un-til 50 years ago, people’s values and attitudes about life were primarily influenced by first their families, followed by their education, their friends and the church. One recent study named media as the number one influence in teenagers’ lives, followed by friends, family and their school. As one powerful form of media, our cul-ture now uses movies as a type of modern day pulpit. We flock to the local cinemas allowing ourselves to be led by directors and screenwriters who influence how we think, feel and even act. Movies do more than just make us laugh, cry and chill us to the bone. They also in-fluence, inspire, and preach to us through certain characters with whom we reso-nate. My belief is that we are creatures that have been designed by our creator who is a master storyteller. Genesis 1:27 says that men and women were created in the

image of and by God, which means that we have the craving to both create and be moved by stories. This explains why we are drawn to action movies that pre-dict a saviour figure who becomes the hero, why we chase after romantic mov-ies that trigger a deep longing to be pur-sued and loved selflessly, and even why we watch laugh at comedies which allow

us to escape our dis-interesting realities and engage in a more humorous one. But God’s story does not come from a mov-ie, a book, or a writer’s pen somewhere in Hollywood, but it is a true story that is writ-ten in our history and in our hearts. Like every story, there is

something inside all of us that tells us that we need a hero, one who thinks we have enough value to be pursued or rescued. That hero is a man named Jesus Christ who does the thing that is admired in every hero, he gives up his life for the ones he loves, to save them from death. There is a great temptation to watch movies simply for enter-tainment, but I challenge you to take another look the next time you watch a movie. Reflect on how it distorts and/or reflects

the larger story of our lives. You may start to see that we are all characters in God’s story. I implore you to make Jesus the hero and saviour of your life because life has many heroes, but there is one who has the pow-er to be our Saviour, bringing purpose and meaning to our lives forever. Jesus Christ. Romans 5:6-11.

Should I buy before I sell?In the present real estate market there are more purchasers than proper-ties for sale, which often results in cash purchasers viewing properties and multiple offers being received. In this type of market purchasers need to be aware that if they are purchasing a new property subject to their present property selling – they should be prepared to miss out if a subsequent cash offer is received. This causes severe disappointment for vendors wanting to purchase a property before they sell their existing home. One of the biggest hurdles we have to overcome in Real Estate is the ven-dor’s price expectation. “I am in no hurry to sell – I can wait for the mar-ket to meet my price” is a common train of thought but this can actually be a deterrent in the sales process. The property receives maximum viewing when it first hits the market and if the property is not priced at a level that buyers recognise as fair, they will move on and purchase elsewhere. If the property is clearly overpriced i.e. on the market as opposed to in the mar-ket – it may well be too late. In Real Estate, three prices need to be taken into consideration – the seller’s price, the real estate salesperson’s price and the buyer’s price. Guess who gets it right every time?

North Panthers for the Challenge Cup. Also that night the TQ Midgets have the first of their three round Club Championships and Production Saloons are running a Best Pairs. The following meeting on 24 November sees the mighty Sprintcars make their return to Nelson, with a round of the War of the Wings being held here again. Being early in the sea-son a full field of top competitors is expected. The Sprintcars are supported by the Midget Club Champs, the Mark Thorn Memorial for Sidecars and the Stockcar triple.The Tigers get their second home track out-ing of the season when the mighty Welling-ton Wildcats return on 8 December after many years in hibernation. This will be a hard fought battle with both teams keen to start with a win in what is hoped will be an ongo-ing challenge. The following meeting on 15 December features what is becoming a must

see event for Super Saloon fans, the Elf Super Cup. Early indications are that the number of entrants is up on last season and could reach as many as 20. The final meeting of the year is on 29 Decem-ber and will see the TQ Midgets, Superstocks and Sidecars all competing in their respective club championships.A small break over New Year gives the club the time to focus on hosting the New Zea-land Home Loans NZ Superstock Champion-ship on 11 and 12 January. The Superstock Champs is the jewel in the speedway crown and Nelson last hosted it in 2003/04.

most talented drivers in the coun-try and there is definitely a real op-portunity to crown a home track champion. The other major promotions that round out the rest of the season are the Classic Hits Demolition Derby, the Sturgeons Amusements King of the Clay, the two day Stanaway Roading Stock Shock, Stockcar teams racing between the Tasman Thunder and the Grey-mouth Grizzlies and the return of the Winged Warriors-Modifieds. There are a number of support promotions planned to comple-ment the main events and to en-sure that fans of all classes leave every meeting happy. Some class-es are introducing alternative for-mats to traditional events such as their club championships in an ef-fort to continue to attract the fans and hopefully a few more visiting drivers.Our youngest members haven’t been forgotten and the Burger King Junior members club has some fun things planned for you. Make sure you get along to the souvenir shop and sign up. There are plenty of Coca Cola goodies hidden away to give out on fireworks night and plans are already under way for your Christmas party.This season the club has also made

changes to ensure that every tum-my also leaves fully satisfied with new food vendors trading inside the arena, providing such delights as baked potatoes, nachos and fresh coffees. You can still enjoy a traditional hotdog and chips or a selection of hot foods from the McCall shop as well as cold drinks, ice cream and confectionery.We have had to make a slight in-crease to gate prices but, in an ef-fort to ensure families do not have to miss their night out, these have been made to members and pen-sioner prices which have increased to $10. Adults are still $15 and a family pass for two adults and up to three children remains at only $300. For up to date information, photos, gossip etc make sure you join our Nelson Speedway Facebook group or check out the club website www.nelsonspeedway.co.nz. Obviously we hope the weather is kinder to us than last season but in the event of unsettled weather cancellations will be broadcast on Classic Hits and posted on the website.Enjoy your summer speedway sea-son which kicks off this Saturday night at the Tahuna Beach Holi-day Park Speedway in Lansdowne Road Appleby. Gates open at 6pm with racing from 7pm.



Hello to all you busy gardeners.The last few days have really felt like spring is fi-nally here! I am sure that the low hum I hear when working outside is the sound of the grass grow-ing, it seems to get longer by the hour, but it could well be the bees very busy at work. There appear to be a lot more of these little critters around this year - the viburnums seem to vibrate with the number of bees working the flowers. It has to be the most fragrant time of the year with narcissi, hyacinths and freesias competing with boronias and viburnum for top spot in the perfume stakes!Unfortunately, the downside to all this growth is that the weeds also join in and I am having a rather difficult time dealing to what can only be called an outbreak of feral radishes….yes, you did read this correctly, I am plagued with the whole back garden bed being covered by radishes. I can only think that they must have come with a load of compost and mulch that I procured two years or so ago and have just been lying in wait for the perfect season to erupt! It wouldn’t be so bad if we actually liked radishes but neither “he who digs holes” or myself are at all keen on these windy lit-tle vegetables. The good thing is they are quite easy to pull out but I fear we will be seeing them for many years to come. With the start of a new season I decided to go and visit one of our local growers to update myself with any new and exciting happenings out there in nursery land. I am not sure whether or not you are aware that we have several major wholesale plant nurseries located in our region. If you see the plant you buy sporting a Vibrant Earth logo, a Thirkettles tag, a Waimea nursery or Titoki label or even an Appleton’s tag these plants have all been raised and nurtured by local grow-ers in our own region. This means several things but I guess the main one is that they have all been raised in this cli-mate, have wintered over in our area, and in many cases have been bred to really thrive in the Nelson/Takaka region. These growers also supply good numbers of plants to garden centres all over the country.My visit to Vibrant Earth was exciting and I came away with a very good feeling about the work being done here. There are so many plants it would be impossible to list but some of the stand-outs are the wisterias that were mainly in full bud and are now out in the garden centres. The hybrid clematis – many varieties including “macropetala” lagoon with it’s beautiful deep blue lantern flowers, and “Louise Rowe” which has, semi double pale violet flowers and loves to climb through trees. Hydrangeas - a great selection of colours; and hydrangea Quercifolia “Pee Wee” which is a smaller more compact version and has

wonderful autumn foliage with good size white flower heads. Look out next season for Loropeta-lum “Firedance” - a real stunner and Ligularia “Przewalskii” which grows to around 1.5 metres tall is great in the back of a border. The website is www.vibrantearth.co.nz and it is set up so you can easily find your way around. They offer a selection of plants to suit your garden type i.e. Native, easy care, English, etc and I have spent some time on this and found it really user friendly. They also tell you who stocks the plant and have many helpful hints on planting and care.

• When planting hybrid clematis always plant deep. You can safely bury the first 2 nodes in the planting hole, as they need to be kept firm in the ground. The stems of clematis are pliable and eas-ily broken so care is needed and a stake or bam-boo rod is a good idea. They can suffer from root rot so I recommend you use a Kiwi care product when planting called ‘’No root rot die back”. Once established they are well worth the effort and will flower in spring and again in autumn for many years.• Time to redo your hanging baskets with lobe-lias, petunias, ivy leaf geraniums, alyssum, etc for a colourful summer display.• You can also grow veggies in baskets; butter crunch lettuce, parsley, spinach, snow peas and hanging cherry tomatoes all do well as do straw-berries- just give it a go!• Cut fuchsias back by at least 2/3rds to encourage growth and check for rust on the old leaves.• Trim hedges before they get too much growth on them, especially formal type hedges. See you soon…………

Fun for Everyone!

The Konica Minolta Nelson Cycle hit the ground round with two of its key events being staged on the event’s first weekend.The festival began in the Moutere Hills for round six of the Benchmark Series with two Nelson rid-ers ending Saturday with the leader’s jersey. The men’s race got under way at 11am from the Low-er Moutere School, which was the base for this particular event.A break was firmly established towards the end of the first lap of the race with most of the teams represented in it, including a strong team from Cycling Otago. The Tasman Wheelers were forced to chase for most of the race to protect the general classification hopes of team leader Chris Nicholson. The third time the race headed down the Motueka Valley Highway the main field had nearly caught the break away group but failed to maintain the momentum with the race splitting up in the closing kilometres as a re-sult of the trying conditions. Brad Evans won a close fought sprint finish from Brad Tuhi of the Homestyle Test Team with Darcy Ellerm-Norton of Benchmark Homes Cycling Team third. Chris has moved into the leader’s jersey with Brad, who races for Cycling Otago, picking up the Under-23

jersey and Mark Spessot of Cycle World taking the master’s jersey.The women’s race set off 20 minutes after the men and was slow to get started. Some aggressive riding from Karen Fulton over the Waiwheros managed to form a break of four. Eloise Fry, who was a last minute ring in for the Otago team, ini-tially tried to close the gap but the group man-aged to stay away. On the final lap Reta Trotman of Cycling Otago attacked several times over the Waiwheros dropping Karen. There was a close sprint for the finish with Reta just beating Benchmark Homes duo of Sharlotte Lucas and Hayley Mercer. Karen finished fourth and still retains the leader’s jersey.The second key event of the Nelson Cycle Festi-val was one of its more unique races with cyclists rounding the Nelson Cathedral for the Nelson City Criterium. Weather conditions were a vast improvement from Saturday and the sunshine and the special course drew a good group of spectators throughout the afternoon. A number of cyclists followed up from the Benchmark Se-ries and it was Ian Smallman that took first place in the men’s A grade race followed by Kieran Hambrook and Brad Tuhi.

Athletics Nelson completed its best ever finish at the New Zealand Road Relay Champion-ship but if it wasn’t for a heartbreaking injury on the final leg of the Men’s Over 50 race, the club could have been celebrating an overall first placing.Athletics Nelson finished second overall on points, behind eventual winners Wellington Scottish. The Nelson teams came from behind in both the men’s masters 40-49 and over 60 grades to take the club’s two gold medals on the Upper Moutere course. The masters 40-49’s hopes were left Phil Costley, who has 31 national titles to his name. Phil snuck up to his competitor in the final 200m to win by just three seconds, despite having two minutes and 40 sec-onds to catch up on the clock when he was tagged in at the last relay exchange. The relay team also fea-tured John Kennedy, Ian Thomas, Jon Linyard, Stu Cottam, Graeme Taylor, Neil Whittaker and Peter Versey.But the men’s 40-49 team were not the only locals to leave it late with the first ever Athletics Nelson men’s over 60 relay also waiting until the final leg to push in front. Race organiser Ian Morrison was one minute and half behind before he was tagged in but managed to create a similar margin on his op-position from Wellington Scottish as the team finished the 39.49km course in two hours 21 minutes and 11 seconds. The men’s over 60 roster also included Chris Bolter, Barry Dewar, Derek Shaw and Hugh Neill.But there was heartbreak for the men’s over 50 team, who saw national cross country champion Cliff Bowman surrender to a leg injury, holding an eight minute lead on his nearest challenger on the last leg of the race. Greg Lautenslager, running his first serious race in six years, had got the team into the lead early after Ian Courtenay and Tim Cross had gone before him. Bill Revell, Patrick Meffan, Murray Hart and Dave Dixon kept the pace knowing they had a trump card in Cliff as the

last runner. Competition rules allow for another runner to take the place of an injured competi-tor so the team could finish the race. However, the men’s over 50s were forced to take the seven minute time penalty that goes with the exemp-tion. Nelson’s final runner was first across the finish line but Auckland University and Lake City Rotorua completed the 71.67km course be-fore the penalty had stopped. Athletics Nelson had to be content with a bronze

medal and a time of four hours, 51 minutes and 49 seconds.In other results, the junior girls team of Brit-tany Stewart, Jess Martin, Claire Erasmus, Sam-mi Jordan and Michelle, Schurmann finished fourth place while the junior men’s A team was sixth, the junior men’s B team was 12th and the senior men’s team finished tenth.

Josh Coppins may have just retired but his motocross riding legacy continues to flourish amongst Nel-son’s latest crop of talent. Waimea West twins Luca and Nico Palmer-Donaldson have taken home silverware in their second ever national mini motocross championship with Nico coming first in 6-8 year old 55cc class and Luca finishing second place in the 7-8 year old 66cc class.Each class was run over five dif-ferent races with points accumu-lated after each one. Nico was miles ahead at the end of the final day while Luca was amongst a bunch of top performers.Nico was pretty happy with his first placing. “Yeah it’s awesome,” he

says.The boys’ father Shane got them both into racing in 2011 and Luca and Nico have since competed lo-cally on a regular basis and hope to race professionally overseas in the future.They will be competing in the same grade together next year.The twins would like to thank key sponsors Jason Arnfield of Nelson Motorcycle Centre, Fresh Choice Richmond, Hydrolink and Donald-son Landscape and Earthwork.Shane is looking for further spon-sorship for the twins, to help fund trips to the North Island and poten-tially to Australia next year. If you are interested, please contact Shane on 027 628 1646.
