Maling follows dad into Richmond governance; Mirfin follows his heart

Leanne & Kit Maling celebrate a victory at home in front of a family painting depicting Kit’s ancestor’s fishing for salmon in the north of England

Kit Maling lost the biggest trout he hooked at the weekend but he wasn’t too concerned.After Saturday’s election he soon has bigger fish to fry as one of Tasman District Coun-cil’s two new Richmond ward councillors, together with pro-fessional fishing guide Zane Mirfin. Their election was at the ex-pense of the incumbents Mi-chael Higgins and Gordon Cur-rie while Glenys Glover, who topped the poll, and Judene

Edgar retained their places in the keenly contested four seat ward. Murray Kerr, Maxwell Clark and Mike Rodwell, while un-successful, attracted enough support to justify their entries in the race.Meanwhile the status quo has been preserved in Moutere-Waimea ward where Tim King, Trevor Norriss and Brian Ensor were comfort-ably returned with their only challenger, former three term mayor John Hurley, unable to convince constituents he

should be recalled to the local political arena.Richard Kempthorne will serve a second term as Tasman mayor after easily holding Murchison farmer Ted O’Regan at bay by more than 4,000 votes.While Kit Maling is a new face among council ranks his fam-ily name is well known and respected in local government with his late father Rob having been mayor of Richmond Bor-ough during 1980-6 after serv-ing two terms as a councillor. When he was 10 Kit’s fam-ily came to Richmond from Canada and on leaving Waimea College he started an appren-ticeship as a golf professional in Nelson.“I wasn’t going to make the cut as a golfer so I joined the police force,” says Kit whose wife Leanne can vouch for their transient lifestyle as she remembers all the addresses around the country they lived during various official postings.The Malings moved back to the Waimea district 12 years and ran an orchard.“That was tough going as are most business endeavours on the plains at the moment,” says Kit.

JUST-IN NEWS Two new faces in Richmond ward(from front page)When asked what inspired him to stand for Tasman council election Kit told Waimea Weekly, “It was the issues of rates and af-fordability. With the downturn in the econ-omy people are finding it tougher than I think council appreciates; they need a bit of a break.”Kit was naturally delighted with his elec-tion and says “it came on the back of a lot of hard work. I knocked on the doors of, or at least spoke to, 1600 households in the ward during my campaign. When you put so much effort in it is very pleasing and a relief to get the result,” he says.Kit would like to thank all those who sup-ported his successful bid to be a Richmond ward councillor. “Thanks to all of you who took the trouble to vote. It’s all very well to express your support verbally but without taking the time to tick the boxes and post back your forms it counts for nothing.”Incidentally, voter return in Tasman dis-trict was 49.8%, being 16,818 forms ex-cluding special votes.Kit concluded, “I’m now a councillor, I enjoyed my day out with a friend trout fishing, my cricket team (Waimea-Toi Toi) won on Saturday and now you tell me Tas-man Makos have just beaten Bay of Plen-ty. It’s been a good weekend.” Meanwhile Richmond ward’s other new councilor Zane Mirfin was thrilled with his next-to-top spot in the poll. The husband of Aimee and father of four Henley School children says, “It wasn’t a single issue which prompted me to throw my hat into the ring. I’ve always been in-terested and concerned about what goes on

in my commu-nity and I want to see informed and balanced decisions made in the running of it. Now with this public sup-port I can be in-volved and help in that process.”Zane admits as a new boy on the council block, “I’m willing to watch, listen and learn. It’s a bit humbling to be picked ahead of Michael Higgins who I regard as a good person and effective councilor. He in particular was very helpful to me dur-ing the campaign and all the candidates in the running were civil and there was none of the mud-slinging among these in Tas-man which mars so many elections.”Not only is Zane’s heart in Tasman but also his family heritage dating back to the arrival of the sailing ship Thomas Harri-son at Port Nelson in 1842. “I’m a sixth generation Richmond man. The Mirfins are well known in these parts and my dad Stuart was a bank manager here for 30 years.”While this was Zane’s first bid for local body election he and his father were co-founders of the Outdoor Recreation Party which attracted 5% of the party vote in Nelson and West Coast-Tasman in the 2002 general election.“Serving on council will be an exciting challenge. And there isn’t a better district in New Zealand to serve than Tasman,” says Zane.

Queen St. design ‘confrontational’The present design of Richmond town’s main street is condusive to clutter and confrontational to pedestrians, according to Tasman District Council transportation manger Gary Clark. During the current 10 year plan council is prepared to spend more than $6m on giving our cen-tral business district a refreshing facelift.Already a ring-road system has been developed wich encourages motorists not intending to stop in town to use the Gladstone Road-McGlashen Ave./Talbot St.- Salis-bury Road-Oxford St. route, thus freeing the main street of superflu-ous traffic.“We need to reduce vehicular traffic thoroughfare, create wider footpaths in Queen St. and re-move clutter such as shop sand-wich boards. And street furniture in Queen St. needs to be upgraded in accordance with Sundial Square and perhaps a water theme intro-duced; all of which will make the street more pedestrian friendly,” says Gary.Council is actively encouraging the residential and business com-munity to make suggestions for the future look of Queen St.“We’ve had quite a bit of feedback from the public and from a good cross-section of the community. There is a need for us to start mov-ing in what direction we take soon-er rather than later,” says Gary.

Police Station in Richmond likely to get 24/7 coverageIf Nelson Bays police area commander Inspector Brian McGurk gets his wish the Richmond station will have 24 hours a day, seven days a week coverage by Christmas.“Yes, that’s what I would like to see, which will mean there are always at least two po-lice officers on duty in Rich-mond; not necessarily always in attendance at the station but working in the area and able to be more proactive than the pre-sent roster allows,” says Brian.He says total police staff (144.6) for the Nelson Bays area will remain constant in the meantime with various changes to roles and place-ments of officers made in ac-cordance with Richmond be-ing recognized as an extension of suburban Nelson city rather than a separate area of police concern.Included among the propos-

als under consultation and consideration over the next few weeks is redeploying the senior sergeant at Richmond to the role of area staff co-ordinator based in the Nelson station. “If that occurs there probably wouldn’t be an OC (officer in charge) as such in Richmond,” says Brian.

He adds, “The number of calls police are receiving is ever-in-creasing and what we need to do is put the resources we’ve got in places and positions to be more responsive and vic-tim-orientated.”While deterrence and response to criminal threat to human life and health is a top priority it is expected the proposed changes to police coverage in the town will stem the disturbing recent increase in vandalism in resi-dential and commercial areas.Brian will be holding meetings in the Tasman region over the next few weeks at which the public are most welcome to express their concerns related to local policing issues.These meetings are at: Rich-mond Town Hall on Tuesday October 19; Wakefield Fire Station on Tuesday October 26 and; Murchison Recreation Centre on Wednesday Novem-ber 10, all with a 7pm start.

‘Missing my cat’ story rouses compassion Back in the late 1970s American singer Yvonne Elliman had a number one song entitled ‘If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby.’ It seems that is the feeling of six year old Con-nor, the subject of our front page story (Octo-ber 6 issue) concerning his tabby cat which was handed in to SPCA and subsequently re-homed in Wakefield.Waimea Weekly received feedback from sev-

eral pet lovers who sympathised with the boy’s plight but in most cases qualified their com-ments by saying this was one of the many pit-falls in not having male cats neutered before they start roaming for mates.Thankyou to those three tabby cat owners who offered their pets as a substitute.In the meantime Connor’s mother is consider-ing the options and is touched by your kindness.


Fairytale horses for a fantastic Santa paradeWhen it comes to Gypsy Vanners, Kathy Andrus has the majority to rule our nation’s equestrian empire. With 13 of 25 of these placid, feather footed breed known to exist in the country, her Wairoa Gorge farm (near Brightwater) is not only our Gypsy Vanner capital but also the first place they set their hairy hooves in New Zealand. “I brought the first ones here in 2005 after they were introduced to USA from England in 1996. As the name suggests they were bred by gypsies and used to pull their wagons since a long, long time ago. The breed has since been tuned in accordance with the gyp-sies’ specific uses for them,” says Kathy who was attracted to them in America because of they appeared to be “a typical, little girl’s fair-ytale horse.”And appropriately it is a fairytale in which several of her horses will feature in Queen Street soon. The Richmond Pak ‘n’ Save San-ta Parade on Saturday, November 27 follows the theme ‘A Fairytale Christmas’ and event manger Lisa Norriss has asked Kathy to make some of her horses available for this exciting occasion.

“I was asked to prepare some for last year’s Santa Parade but I had so many other bookings I wasn’t able to. Be-cause they have so much hair compared to other breeds a lot of people don’t re-alize it takes hours and hours to wash and dry and brush them ready for such occasions,” she says.Kathy’s horses, with Mr Beau Jangles

leading the way, have been used to pull carriages and wagons at weddings and other special social occasions and are no strangers to filling in for Dasher, Dancer, Prancer & Co. having pulled Santa around Richmond Park at a previ-ous Henley School Christmas party. Kathy understands her horses, which are naturally so quiet she doesn’t have

to break them in but “merely teaches them how to steer” will be used by the local medieval group and dressed ac-cordingly to carry jousters and the like.With Body in Space theatre company appointed by Richmond Unlimited to organize the event, this years Richmond Pak ‘n’ Save Santa Parade promises to be the best yet.

Top left: Kathy drives her 100 year-old carriage made of solid English oak with hand-cast iron chassis. It was sent to Indonesia to incorporate typical elaborate carvings and was used there to carry British Diplomats before making its way to New Zealand in the 1960s. This unique carriage and the horses are available for wedding and event hire. Top right: Kathy with Appleby

Sir,I would like to express my absolute shock and amazement at your front page story regarding Gordie the cat being re-homed. I feel you have done our SPCA an extreme injustice by running this story, I’m sure they did everything they possibly could to try and get Gordie back to his owner and they were only do-ing what they had to do by re-homing Gordie. Having Gordie neutered, vaccinated and chipped is only what any responsible cat owner should have already done.You have portrayed Kharissa, Conner & Xavier as victims when it is quite clear that they are not. The first place they should have checked for Gordie was the SPCA as most pet owners know. Claiming financial hardship for not having Gor-die neutered is rubbish, he should have been done when he was a kitten and it doesn’t cost much at all and then he would not have been out roaming ‘as boy cats do’.

Yes it is hard for the children losing a pet but this is not an excuse for you to rubbish and discredit our awesome SPCA, they do a wonderful job and deserve a public apology for this unfairness. Jo Brown

Editor: Well done on exalting SPCA - indeed a very honourable organ-ization - but no need to defend them in this instance as there was no attack against them.It was pointed out inspector Craig Crowley confirmed Gor-die had been held for twice as long as legally obliged and that he had made two appeals to the new owner on behalf of the former owners. There was no criticism of SPCA, stated or ap-plied. For you to say Kharissa should have done this and done that is perhaps unfair.I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of procrastination at some stage for one reason or other. Some, such as Connor in this case, have to pay for the consequences.

Coffee roaster wins NZ awards

Pomeroy’s general manager Hayden Thomp-son tastes some of his medalwinning coffees

Nelson coffee roaster, Pomeroy’s, has won two medals at the national coffee awards.The coffee-makers entered three differ-ent coffees in the awards and won two sil-ver medals and a bronze. General manager Hayden Thompson says he was stoked to come away with the three awards. “We put in our Guatemalan and our espresso formula two, both have been repackaged for the grocery market and we pulled a silver for both of them, which was great. Then we put our Toxic brand in the organic section and won a bronze for that.”Hayden says Pomeroy’s have entered the awards in the past and have always done pretty well.“We’ve always got something out of it, which is great because we really try to keep that consistency going from year to year.”The awards are getting more and more pres-tigious as more coffee roasters enter. This year 66 coffee roasters entered with just under 300 coffees over the various catego-ries. As a winner Pomeroy’s get to put the silver sticker on its winners for a year says Hayden. “To be able to have our new brand coffee go-ing into supermarkets with a silver medal is a great kick-start for us.”Hayden estimates it supplies 60 to 70 percent of the cafe and restaurant market in Nelson.“There are more coffee roasters than ever soyou have to be on the top of your game andcontinue to put out a great product or you won’t be doing it for long.”

We made it to the top, by gum

These lads couldn’t resist the challenge of climbing to the top of the old Otterson gum stump in lower Queen Street, outside Richmond Park. In the words of British mountain-eer George Mallory the boys climbed the stump “‘because it was there.”

There’s never a dull moment at Richmond Mall. Last week, during the school holidays, El Gregoe the Magician conducted 12 shows for the delight of children, and their parents. El Gregoe says, “We had huge attendances at all our shows and I was inspired to come here by my magician son Nicholas who performed in the mall last year. He’s now performing successfully in Austrlia and he told me how responsive the children of Richmond are to such acts as the

Brightwater guide describes trip of a lifetime

Brianna gets up close and cosy with Tigger near Pooh Corner at Disneyland

When the news came through from Girl Guiding New Zealand that 13 year-old Brightwater girl Brianna Thompson had been accepted for Peak 2010, she started counting down the days with excited an-ticipation. Waimea Weekly previewed Brianna’s trip and as promised she has sent us this report of her experience.“Fundraising is difficult when, having recently moved from Wellington to the Waimea district, you don’t know that many people. However, having deliv-ered pamphlets, sold pinecones, choco-lates, mascara and anything I could get my hands on, including goldfish from our pond, I had some money towards my trip and got to know my new neighbours.Well in advance my suitcase was packed and I was ready to go. When I finally pulled up to the airport, reality hit along with the nerves. My support crew was on hand to see me off in the form of Mum, Dad, my three brothers and even Nana and Poppa who had come up from Christchurch. We had planned our trip to arrive in Eng-land three weeks before the camp so we could do some sight-seeing. We ticked off the tourist spots; Big Ben, London Bridge, The Tower of London, St Pauls, London Dungeon, Hamleys, Madame Tussauds and Buckingham Palace. We even got to see the Queen. We had a quick trip to Paris, visiting the Eiffel Tower. The Louvre was great but the best thing was definitely shopping in Paris.

Back to the UK and off to the Peak district. Alto-gether there were 6000 people who were divided into 12 sub-camps which included Scout and Guide units from 23 countries from around the world. As the New Zealand contingent, we were hosted by the UK based 1st Sandiacre Guide Unit. Upon arrival, we met the girls who were hosting us and walked down to our campsite where all the tents were already up. The spectacular opening ceremony featured bal-loons, each bearing the name people on camp. Scheduled activities included kayaking in the lake, air rifle shooting, street hockey, caving, off-site climbing, sailing and bush craft in which we even made fire with sticks. During evenings themed concerts were held at the main arena with music by the amazing DJ Spud. During the week we were kept busy with sub camp competitions of netball, tug of war, foot-ball and volleyball. A fantastic week closed with a ceremony and phenomenal fireworks display.The week at Camp went very fast and before I knew it, it was over and we were all exhausted and heading to the airport for Disneyland and then home.


Zumba dance fun and fitness for women’s healthTomorrow, Thursday Octo-ber 14, Zumba Tasman in-vite you to Party in Pink at a community Zumba class as a fundraiser for NZ Breast Cancer Foundation and their Pink October campaign.“We want to get as many people as possible to dress in pink (male and female) and we have many pink prizes donated by generous local retailers,” says Zumba

instructor Caroline Hoar.She is assisted by Tracy Dawson who says, “Tere will be twice the opportu-nity to have fun, get fit and support the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation (NZBCF).” Caroline points out, “Breast cancer has touched many of our participants in various ways and we want to get as many people as possible to

Zumba in pink to show their support.Zumba Tasman was born from Caroline’s love of dance and being a Les Mills instructor and inspired by a wonderful trip to Brazil. Tracy and Caroline wanted to do something of value in the Tasman community and they know everyone enjoys an hour off to dance and have fun with friends.

“One great thing we have noticed is how many people in the community come to Zumba who have never ex-ercised before and don’t fit with the perceived image of gym bunnies. Also they are very relieved to see that we are not too young or perfect or unap-proachable,” says Caroline, adding “Each class burns up to 700 calories or 6 weight watcher points, whatever they are.”So take a friend, dress in pink and go along at 6:15pm to the Hope Domain Hall for Party in Pink Entry is $6 with proceeds going to NZBCF.

Caroline Hoar, Left, and Tracy Dawson are the two enthusiastic and friendly Zumba Tasman instructors who urge you to attend Party in Pink at Hope Domain Hall tomorrow

Richmond bowls pleased you had a goKen Smith of Richmond Bowling Club reports that 10 new faces showed up to the Have a Go at Lawn Bowls player re-cruitment drive last Sunday.“From those 10 we’ve got two who seem committed to playing competitive bowls at the club while another two are very interested in the social play and as-pect of the club. That’s a good result but it’s never too late for anyone to come along and see what goes on. Thanks to all those who turned out,” says Ken.Phone 544 7076 or 544 6462 for more details.

150 Rutherford Street, Nelson P 03 548 0568 M 0274 908 289

A Nelson car yard has expanded, doubling the size of its yards.Dowell Wholesale Cars on Rutherford St opened its new yard last week and owner Paul Dowell says the expansion has come

about because he has been “flat stick.”

“Everyone is crying doom and gloom but there has been

no recession for me.”Paul says his first yard was predominately set up to

sell cars to other dealers but he was selling more and

more from his yard so he decided to expand it and make the second yard mainly for sales to the public.He has a wide range of stock catering to most tastes. “The other yard was predomi-nately New Zealand new cars, a lot of which were good quality, well maintained leased cars. But this new yard has predominately imports so now we have a great range.”Paul has been in the car business for many years, specialising in selling cars to other dealers. But has found himself now selling to the public once again. To help with the new yard Paul has brought on board yard

manager Anton Tonk. “It’s good to have An-ton here; it should give me a small amount of free time so I can get back on my bike.”Paul a keen cyclist and former stockcar racer, is famous for giving 100 percent to whatever he does and he is aiming to put that winning formula back into running his two yards.Paul is happy to answer enquires from all over the Nelson and Tasman district and reckons the best way to run a car dealership is front it yourself and that’s exactly what he does. To enquire about the cars below give Paul or Anton a call on 548 0568.

By Phillip RolloThe typical Kiwi bloke enjoys nothing more than cooking something that they have caught them-selves. So when the Blokes in the Kitchen com-munity group at the Richmond Church of Christ took on ‘Catch it, prepare it,’ it was a very popular lesson. The menu consisted of food they had or could catch in the outdoors, and included white-bait, mussels, smoked salmon, wild pork, and ven-ison. “We’re dealing with things that blokes like. They enjoy going out fishing, and hunting, and it’s good to know what to do with it once you’ve caught it,” says Sushi Heaven chef Peter O’Neill. “I think it’s a good thing for blokes to cook their game and seafood.”With only one more lesson remaining, head chef Peter says Blokes in the Kitchen has been very successful. “A lot of the guys have been very keen, asking a lot of good questions, having a lot of fun. A lot of them said they’ve tried it out of their family and friends, and that’s what it’s all about.”The ‘blokes’ have enjoyed the course as well. “You cook, but this is just differ-ent ways of looking at it. Unless you’re in to watch-ing cooking shows, which are quite finicky and go-ing for the complication, whereas this you just do it,” says John Brockway.While the course has had plenty of variation starting

with sushi, rice dishes, things for lunch, micro-wave dishes that including soup and cake, desserts, and curries, John says they have all been helpful. “I think it’s all been good. The microwave one was pretty good. You pick up odd things. It’s more that it gets you in a frame of mind to do it.”Fresh Choice Richmond had donated product to the group, and Peter along with the organizers of Blokes in the Kitchen, say they couldn’t have done it without their support. “I think its been awesome getting them on board, donating a bit of stock, we really appreciate their support.”The final lesson of Blokes in the Kitchen will be followed by a night where each member cooks for a friend or family member. There has also been plenty of interest in a future course, and the church is considering another cooking group targeted at men who live alone.

There is something for everyone this season at the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Speedway. This year we will see one of the busi-est seasons for a long time at the Nelson track with 20 meetings on the cards and New Zealand titles galore. The season kicks off on the October 16 and go-ing by the practices to date the competition among the drivers and cars will be intense. Some

of the crews have been busy in the off season and the new paint jobs and the appearances of the cars are top notch. The Coca Cola fireworks night on the Oc-tober 30 is the second meeting of the season and undoubtedly our biggest and most popular of the speedway calendar. The club has gone all out on the fireworks this year and no doubt it will go off with a bigger bang than ever before.

The following meeting on the November 13 will be the first hit out for our all conquering Nel-son Tigers as they take on the Canterbury Glen Eagles for the annual grudge match to contest the McCall Trophy. I’m sure the Tigers will more than ruffle the feathers of the Glen Eagles to win this one! Just when you thought the ac-tion was about to subside the very next meeting is going to

be bigger than Texas. On the night of the December 4 we are running our round of the Elf Lubricants Super Saloon Se-ries, which will see some of the best Super Saloons in the south island. If that’s not enough, to whet the speedway appetite we are also hosting the Palmerston North Panthers in the Tigers sec-ond Superstock teams race in as many meetings. This should be a cracker as the Panthers will be seeking retribution for the big

loss last season at the paws of the Nelson Tigers while compet-ing at the New Zealand Teams Champs. On December 18 we have been lucky enough to book the servic-es of Santa Claus, before his an-nual excursion around the globe delivering all those kids’ pre-sents, to do a lap or two around our track and hand out the odd treat or two to the locals and who knows, maybe one of our junior members may go home

with a new bike for Christmas. Then, with the dawn of a new year only just behind us it will be the turn of the Three Quarter Midgets as they contest the TQ 1000. This will be a precursor to the New Zealand TQ Champs a few weeks later and will be a good test for drivers and ma-chines to make sure the cars are ready for their big meeting of the speedway calendar. On January 12 & 13 we will see our first of New Zealand titles

for the season, the New Zealand Stockcar Grand Prix which will be the first New Zealand title for this grade at our track and you can guarantee that these guys will not disappoint when it comes to action in the dirt. We should see one of the biggest fields of competitors we have seen on our clay for a long time. January 22 will be the night of the Classic Hits Derby, only this time there will be a difference. Not only will there be a derby but there will also be a street car

race during the meeting for the derby cars as well. So you get a chance to go racing as well as try to wreck other cars on the same night. This should be a lot of fun and who knows, it could be the start of your new speedway ca-reer so get your mates together and lay down the challenge.As mentioned before, the New Zealand TQ Midget Champion-ship is to be held at our track this season on January 28 & 29. Will we see a South Islander take the title this season? Time will

tell. One thing is for sure, there will be some fast action-packed racing

from these cars and although small in size they will be big in performance and excitement.The Super Saloons will be back in action on February 12 as they go head to head and contest the South Island Super Saloon Championship. Next season the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Nelson Speedway will host the New Zealand Super Saloon title so we should see a good number of entries here to get their cars dialled in before the big one.For all you motorcycle nuts the New Zealand Sidecar Champi-onship on February 18 & 19 will be a meeting not to miss. It is our third and last New Zealand title

for the season but in no way is it any less important or exciting than those earlier. Our track commentator Dave Birdling calls these guys “the crazies of speedway”, while others call them the chariots of doom. Call them what you will but you have to feel nothing but admiration for someone who gets on a three wheeled motorcycle with no brakes and goes flat out around a track with only a concrete wall to keep them in the arena. Anything can hap-pen when these guys get together on the track and it probably will.The weather last season at North Island tracks meant that a lot of the Stockcar drivers from that part of the country could not participate in last season’s Stock Shock which in turn meant that our competitor numbers were down. That did not mean that the action was

any less on the track and the meeting on March 11 & 12 this season should see this meeting comes right back to where it should be. This is a chance to once again see some of our country’s top stockcars and their drivers go bumper to bumper to take the spoils of victory.March 26 is the night of our annual King of the Clay meeting while at the next meeting on April 9 we will see the return of the Modifieds at our track. Modifieds were once a big thing here in Nelson and this will be a chance to once again see these winged warriors take to our track with even more ven-om than ever injected before. Also, that night we will see the local Tasman Thunder Stockcar team take on the Canterbury Crushers in their an-nual contest for the Martin Dumelow Cup affectionally known as “The Pen-

guin”. Can the Nelson guys grab this trophy back which was lost by the nar-rowest of margins in Christchurch last season? The last and by no means least meet-ing of the year will again be the Easter meeting. This will be held in late April (23 & 24). This is a hugely popular meeting for competitors and fans alike. It at-tracts drivers from all over the country and is always a great show to end the season with and it never ever fails to please. There will also be club cham-pionships and other certain trophies throughout the season, so this sea-son make sure you get your backside trackside and enjoy the best entertain-ment money can buy here in Nelson.

Richmond historian Peter Kearns reflects on an iconic diner in Richmond for many years, the pie cart.

Keith and Grace Burtenshaw started a business in a purpose built mobile diner in 1951.The diner was constructed in Timaru by Keith’s brother. This was the first pie cart for Richmond and was in the main positioned in Croucher Street on the road edge alongside the current Star & Garter Hotel. There was a time because of council require-ments when it was shifted to Cambridge Street just off the corner where Harcourts real estate offices are

now.All pre-cooking was carried out from an approved stand alone kitchen in behind the Burtenshaw’s home in Church Street Richmond adjacent to Rich-mond School playing field. Keith became renowned for his specially prepared infra-red grilled steaks for which on numerous occa-sions groups of people visiting Nelson would make the trip out to enjoy. The business was well support-

ed and the Burtenshaws had good reliable staff in Harry Norgate and Ivan Lewis while both Grace and Keith would also be on the job themselves. In 1956 Eddie Donnithorne took over the business whilst Keith and Grace saw an opportunity in Mo-tueka and set up business there. Other owners who followed were Peter Farmer and Jim Cuthbert and others whose names I don’t quickly recall.As restaurants evolved and eating houses gener-ally extended their opening hours the days of the pie cart diminished very quickly.I remember during my rugby playing days follow-ing games on a Saturday, there may have been a visit somewhere to a dance or private party and in-variably the night or early morning was not com-plete without a feed at the pie cart. Many a story was told and retold at the venue - it may have had to do with the day’s game, a news event, whatever, it was a great place to convene. The occasional skirmish may have occurred there following a person having had a little too much to drink, but never did things get out of hand as like the bottle throwing and the like of the mo-ment here in the district. Always a steadying influ-ence to control any potential problem would come

from the cart operator and ably assisted by others in attendance.I doubt we will see another such diner ever grace the current Sun Dial Square.

NB. Grace Burtenshaw still resides in Richmond with husband Tom Pearson. It is of real interest to note that Grace is the sole survivor and I think she in discussion gave an indication she is now four score and ten something.Grace’s dad was Wattie Hill and there was a fam-ily of three sisters, Vera, Phyllis and Joyce with brothers Ken & Joe. The latter was a past proprie-tor of Waimea Stores, as covered previously.Wattie Hill had farmed a property where Waimea Villge is today and Joe had built a house there that remains today occupied by IDSS residents. The original Hill home/farm ( well back off Gladstone Road ) in my earlier days was owned by one Wat-tie Jenkins and his wife was a teacher in my time at Richmond School;, that would be about the late 1940’s early 1950’s era.

For many, a feed at the pie cart on the way home from a long even-ing at the pub was a highlight of the culinary week

Corrections from past editions - * I made mention of Howard & Gilbert Wilkes being the founders of the W E Wilkes company, this is incorrect the firm was founded by their father. * Mention of the Baptist Church shifting from Queen Street to Croucher Street is not so, this church relocated to Salisbury Road alongside the ASB Aqua Pool. * Then another church the Church of Christ relocated from Lower Queen Street to Croucher Street alongside Maling Pensioner Flats. * On the right hand side of Queen Street assuming the direction of going towards the Gladstone Road intersection lights I made mention of there perhaps a house lived in by Max Hunter this was incorrect. The house I had in mind was occupied by a Mrs Elliot who was renowned for having a “white talking parrot” frequently surprising people with a “hello” as they walked by. Mrs Elliot was the mother-in-law of George Watson known as a bus driver for the Suburban Bus Company. * I also should have mentioned the Transport Company established by the Best brothers operating from where the Suburban bus company took over. Cuthert and Harold best had carried on a transport business established by their father Dan and this business would have continued until the early 1950’s it was best known as Waimea Transport.

Labour weekend will see a bevy of clas-sic Mopars from around New Zealand converging on Nelson for the 3rd annual “Mopars in” weekend. The first two years has seen this gathering held in Geraldine. Mopar is a term that primarily covers the makes of Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and Desoto. There are currently over 90 vehi-cles registered, ranging from the 1930’s to 2009.These cars will be out and about on the roads over the weekend, but the general public will have two opportunities to get

up close and personal to these cars with the first on Saturday October 23, 11am to 3 pm at Higgins Park (Steam Museum) in Pigeon Valley. Parts of the museum will be operational on Saturday in conjunction to the display time. Entry is a gold coin donation, with proceeds going to prostate cancer. The second opportunity will be on Sun-day October 24, at Kaiteriteri from 12pm to 2:30pm. Again entry is gold coin do-nation, with proceeds to the Jack Inglis Friendship Hospital in Motueka.

Motocross training camp upskills 50 riders

Riders and instructors at the 88 Valley motocross camp, from left (back): Mason Harper, Milan Healey-Furniss, George Holland (with trophy for most improved rider at camp), Kyle Leitch, Julie Manderson and Nathan Roeske. In front are Shannon Hewetson, Bryan Heaphy, Dan Shallcrass (organizer) and Sandra Silcock

Coach Dan Shallcrass says the school holiday camps he runs are the complete A to Z for mo-tocross riders.“We don’t only teach how to ride properly and how to improve by explaining the basics to start, which is where you should begin in any sport, and proper techniques but we teach all aspects of safety, machine care and mainte-nance and discuss right attitudes which affect enjoyment and performance.”Dan stresses that motocross is a family affair and as with any recreation or activity if the parents get involved with their kids everybody is going to enjoy the fun of the event with the

benefit of social interaction with family and friends.The latest camp at 88 Valley attracted 50 riders over two days and Dan was pleased so many participants were part of family groups.“We instruct at all levels according to indi-vidual stages of competence and development. There’s something for the absolute beginner and something for the pro rider at our camps,” says Dan.The next camp will be on October 31 and anyone wanting to register or wanting more information should phone or txt Dan on 027 2776035.

On this occasion a special focus will be on well known local rugby personality Carl Thelin. Apart from his involvement with Waimea, Carl was a Nelson rep captain who enjoyed both success and disappointment in Seddon Shield matches when it was an extremely meaningful and fiercely contested competition. Just ask Carl how he felt handing New Zealand’s second-most famous and next-to-oldest rugby trophy to Peter Fry, Golden Bay-Motueka rugby captain and Riwaka club stalwart back in the 60s.Carl was Nelson Bays rugby coach during 1972-74, on his own and with help from Alvin Bond and Noel Barton, after taking the reins from Charlie Cowman and All Black Ron Horsley.After the amalgamation trial in 1969 between Nelson and Golden Bay-Motueka was passed, Waimea Old Boys was the first club to win a Nelson Bays senior championship, with Carl as coach and Tony Dixon being captain. The title was won after a titanic struggle against a rep-studded Takaka side which included later All Black Terry Mitchell and was captained by John Allan, now a Richmond resident.Ken Smith who was a member of the winning Waimea team recalls the match which was played at Rugby Park in Motueka. Incidentally the great Wallaby winger David Campese made his debut at Rugby Park, now the impressive Sportspark Motueka thanks to a vision and hard work done by Kelvin Bradley, George Sturgeon and Tasman councillor Barry Dowler. “We won the match 9-3 with Ron Tasker scoring all our points from a try and two dropped goals. Carl put Errol Thelin out on the wing to mark Terry Mitchell and he dropped him ever time he got the ball,” recalls Ken.The reunion of Carl’s champion team, open to all players, management and supporters together with their friends and family starts at 6.30pm at Waimea’s clubrooms. The bar will be open. Anyone with questions or memorabilia which could add to the occasion should phone Ken Smith on 5447516 or 021 2446000.

Melanie Penn, daughter of Diane and Rod Penn of Swamp Road was married recently in England to Welshman Alex Parry, her partner of seven years. They were married at Lemor Manor in Eardisley which is three hours drive from London.Rod says, “Diane and I, with our youngest daughter Amy, went over for the wedding which was a small affair but it was great. We had the whole place (Lemor Manor) to ourselves for the wedding which was great. “Melanie and Alex have been living in London for eight years and plan on moving to New Zealand to live early in the New Year, much to our delight. “We have a busy year with weddings as our Amy was married here at the start of this year and in March 2011 our third daughter Nikki is com-ing back from London with her man Mark to be married here in Nelson and stay to live in good ol’ New Zealand.”
