The excitement of the Richmond Festival begins on Sunday September 25 with the Tasman Invita-tional Sevens Tournament. Up to 44 teams, totalling more than 600 players, are set to take the fields of Jubilee Park in Rich-mond, in an spectacular event that will lead up to the World Cup Pool C match between Italy and USA as well as Australia versus Russia. There will be three Open Men grades, an un-der-18 grade and even an under-13 grade allows local and international rugby players of all ages to showcase their skills in rugbys fastest form of the game, 7s. The tournament will run throughout Sunday in a fun, social and relaxed atmosphere building to-wards the tense and pulsating finals of each grade in the afternoon.Tournament organiser and former USA inter-national An-thony Holder says the tour-nament was inspired two years ago to replicate the most popular form of the game in the United States as well as giving locals and international fans a first hand experi-ence at getting on the field during the cup. International fans have shown their interest in the tournament but Anthony is hoping all the local rugby clubs will also take part.The end of the rugby is just the beginning of the nights entertainment. At the conclusion of the rugby prize giving, a local live band will hit the stage playing music for all to enjoy. The band will entertain with a variety of music from Kiwi tunes to international hits that locals and international visitors to the region will recognise. Our Local brewery Sprig and Fern Beer Tasting Tent and a Kiwi Tucker (Food) tent will provide all party goers everything they need to see out the nights festivities. The nights festivities will conclude around 9pm, but the party continues walking distance across the fields at the Waimea Old Boys Rugby Club-rooms thereafter.Throughout the day the tournament will be live across the airways with radio coverage from More FM. There will be childrens activities, bouncy castles and a range of Family attractions to enter-tain every visitor. Its not too late to register, simply email Anthony at [email protected]

Sevens to kick off festivities

LIFT OFF

The Stars n Stripes Block Party is set to paint Richmond red, white and blue with a lunchtime main street parade, an afternoon of kids entertainment at the Richmond Mall and evening of street party festivities at Sundial Square on September 26.A block party is an American tradition, commonly organ-ised by the residents of a community, usually limited to a city block, in which streets are closed off to vehicle traffic and participants eat, socialize, entertain, and enjoy.Richmonds own block party begins with a colourful se-lection of local clubs, schools, community groups and special guests will be on show at midday to kick off the party, as all things American descend on Queen St, Rich-mond as the Main Street Parade sweeps through town. The parade will be lead by the Nelson City and Motueka Districts Brass Band, and is to feature colourful iconic American characters along with classic cars, army jeeps, and hot rod bikes.A road closure will be in effect on the neces-sary streets during the parade. Motorists are requested to adhere to the conditions of this road closure whereby ensuring an un-obstruct-ed parade path is kept clear between 11.30am-12.30pm. Croucher St Car Park will be closed from 11.30am 11.30pm.The main street parade is a great example where we have more than 600 people confirmed to parade down Queen St. Theres a whole heap of other community groups as well confirmed to show their take on America.Following the parade, a series of short perfor-mances and exhibitions will take place at Sun-dial Square, with the Richmond Festival to be officially opened by visiting US Ambassador David Huebrer and the Mayor of Tasman Rich-ard Kempthorne.The main street parade will run regardless of the weather, however in the unlikely event of extremely bad weather, the parade will follow a modified alternative route through the Rich-mond Mall. An afternoon, jam packed full of classic mall entertainment follows, competitions and exhibitions will take place after school at the Richmond Mall. Ten of Tasmans finest young singers will compete in the American Idol:Richmond Mall Edition karaoke competi-tion, vying on their quest to be crowned idol king or queen. The Great Mall of America Eating Competi-tions is set to bring entertainment value to the afternoons lineup. Hot dogs and fruit pies will be served up in copious quantities as Rich-mond searches for the greatest guts guzzler. How many American hot dogs can you munch in a minute? As the sun sets, an evening of dancing, fine foods and mingling will unfold with a quintes-sential kiwi picnic featuring the best of local fare.From 5pm to 10pm, the Block Party takes to life.Tasmans finest authentic American themed food stall providers have teamed up with the best of classic kiwi cuisine stall holders and will be serving up a delightful assortment of spare ribs dripping in tangy BBQ sauce, woo-fire piz-zas, venison burgers, cinnamon spiced donuts, sticky candy floss plus much more.The Block Party is strictly no BYO.Quench that irresistible thirst with a selection of Richmonds own Sprig n Fern beer, or en-joy a glass of premiere wine from the local Sei-frieds range.

For those who cannot join in the daytime celebrations this is your chance to join in the party atmosphere.Richmond businesses have been given American flyers and are encouraged to show their support for the United States. Judged on the afternoon by Richmond Unlimited commit-tee members and awarded on the night, businesses have the chance to score a double pass to the Italy versus USA game on September 27. Richmond Unlimiteds Sally Wood says it was a great idea

for businesses to show their support for the Eagles and their visiting supporters.It adds vibrancy and colour and lifts community spirit. Its a one in a life time opportunity for Richmond businesses and sets the scene for the parade and block party.The winning business will be selected on creativity, adding to

the business packs that were distributed during the past weeks, and will be announced at the block party.Band, American Invasion will be headlining the party.

Community sign on to get fatal corner alteredMore than 250 concerned residents have rallied togeth-er to sign a petition urging the Tasman District Council to alter a fatal intersection which killed one person earlier this year.The crash, which occurred in late May, at the inter-section on Golden Hills Rd and the Moutere Highway, killed Foxhill man Richard MacKay and put another in a serious condition in Wellington Hospital after a truck and trailer unit col-lided with a Mercedes saloon at the Golden Hills Rd inter-section. The car was thrown 100m from the collision site, com-ing to rest in a line of trees about 100m away. The Mercedes was travelling down the Moutere Highway towards Richmond when they collided. The petition is fronted by Redwood Valley resident David Vanstone. David lives just down the road from the

junction in question and was the first resident to speak out publicly about the intersec-tion. I use it quite a lot my-self and itll probably just go on and there will be more ac-cidents, says David.

David hopes the TDC will change the intersection in to a capital Y shaped junction similar to the one on Waimea West Rd and the top of River Rd.However TDC t r a n s p o r t a t i o n manager Gary Clark says the in-

tersection is number 14 on a council priority list, mean-ing it is known to council but is not deemed urgent. Reading the given informa-tion [on the accident] it was in fact driver error rather than the design of the inter-section, says Gary.Earlier in the year Team Leader of Tasman Police highway patrol sergeant Stu Wright told the Waimea Weekly that although the re-ported number of accidents

Scientists get grubby for compFUNgi: Amber Radcliffe, 10, and Georgia Charlett, 11, put the fun in fungi at the Richmond School Science and Technology Fair. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Touching toilet seats is only allowed in the name of science. But as two Richmond School students will tell you the aftermath is even worse than the experiment.Amber Radcliffe, 10, and Georgia Charlett, 11, tested the amounts of bacteria and germs on door handles, rubbish bins and toilet seats, and it was quick to grow in the tested two weeks. The girls used cotton buds and wiped them on each of the three items, before wiping the germs on the agar glass and waiting

for two weeks. We couldnt think of anything to experiment on and then Georgia popped up and questioned why dont we do something with germs and bacteria in agar glasses? And I was like whats agar glasses? Then she showed them to me and I thought that would be very, very good.The results werent immediate, but were noticeable after a week. The girls concluded that the rubbish bin contained the most germs and that they will be using soap more of-

ten. Each of the regions schools are currently taking part in their own science fairs before the finalists are selected for the Cawthron Nelson Science and Technology Fair.The Nelson Science and Technology Fair has been running for more than 25 years and will this year be con-tested by junior and senior students, which changes bi-annually.The exhibits from all the finalists are available for public viewing dur-ing the week of September 19 in the Stoke Hall.

at the intersection totalled five since 2006, that it was still no worse than others in the district.But David and a majority of Appleby and Redwood Valley residents think otherwise. Its quite a main highway, even though its now only a council road. It seems strange to me that youre coming along a 100kph road and all of a sudden theres a right angle bend and youre down to 35kph.David says he had concerns about the inter-

section prior to the accident in May, as he knew of two or three past incidents. It was an accident waiting to happen, he says.There have been negative responses in the community, though, with one person stat-ing that ratepayer money is better spent else-where.The petition, including the signatures, will be taken to the TDC during the week. We just want to awaken the council to the fact that people in the community are genu-inely concerned about this corner.

Jacob McFarlane, Mapua.

Wales have impressed me. They nearly beat South Africa. The All Blacks wont win, they never do.

John Morrisey, Richmond.

Japan could be a surprise package. The size of them is in-credible. I think the All Blacks will beat them, but theyll need to lift up a gear.

Richard Webb, Richmond.

I hate rugby, so I wouldnt even know. I just flick on to other channels, theres plenty of other things I could be watching.

Angela Wadsworth.

I think theyve all been pretty mediocre so far. I mean that Argentina vs England game was so low scoring! All Blacks will win it though.

Black out!Richmonds Kohu family show their support for the All Blacks

Theres no doubting who Rich-monds biggest All Black sup-porters are. And judging by the exterior of their home, the Kohu family could be one of New Zealands biggest.All Blacks on the letterbox, All Blacks on the fence, and even though a calendar stat-ing 0 days to go hangs above a bedroom window, theres no doubting Rugby World Cup fe-

ver has struck Richmond. Diana Kohu says her husband and son Zion are the biggest fans in the family. My hus-band is always taking kids to the games and he always hangs around with the kids for hours to get signatures.The reaction has been fantastic, says Diana. Theres the cutest little boy who bike rides along and stops and just looks at our

house for ages, she says. Usu-ally when someone goes past they comment.The only negative comments being a tongue-n-cheek call from some Wallaby fans. They stood on the other side of the road yelling Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi.Zion, 14, has a firm idea on who will win the Rugby World Cup. A.Bs! Easy.

Hyundai Motor Company is the car manufactur-er that has improved the most over the last dec-ade, topping Auto Express magazines 10 years of Driver Power survey.No brand has taken such a massive leap over the past decade as Hyundai, says Acting Editor for UK based Auto Express, Graham Hope. Its range now is unrecognizable from 2002, and our read-ers regularly tell us that they are both pleased and proud to own a Hyundai, which is reflected in its meteoric rise up our Driver Power ratings.From over 300,000 surveys received over the last 10 years of the annual Driver Power survey, Hyundai has gone from being one of the poorest performing manufacturers for customer satisfac-tion to one of the five best brands. It has also risen from 28th place in the best manufacturer chart in 2002 to fourth place in 2011. Hyundai New Zealands Chief Operating Officer, Tom Ruddenklau, says the result echoes what the company has been seeing in New Zealand in

terms of customer satisfaction. Kiwis are proud to have a Hyundai intheir driveway and happy to share their experi-ences, he says. We recently launched HyundaiNeighbourhood, an online community on our website, where people can evaluate vehicles and service before buying and talk first-hand to cur-rent owners. Its a great forum to access honest reviews, get impartial advice and ask questions. The quality and reliability of the Hyundai product line up has attracted numerous awards both lo-cally and internationally in recent years. The i30 is rated fourth in the Top 50 cars of the decade, and sent shockwaves through the industry when it was named the most satisfying car in Britain in the 2010 Driver Power survey. In New Zealand the i30 won the 2009 AA Supreme Winner award.Meanwhile the recently launched Elantra has been named AutoPacifics Ideal Compact Vehicle, while the i45 is the 2011 International Car of the Year.

NAILED IT: Nelsons Apprentice of the Year Nick Skeggs outside a Signature Homes show home he helped build on route to scooping the Apprentice of the Year competition. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Top apprentice takes lead roleNick Skeggs has been named winner of the Upper South Island Registered Master Builders Carters 2011 Apprentice of the Year competition. Four years since leaving Nelson College to start a building apprenticeship, the 21 year-old Dusty Builders employee has worked on Signature show homes in Richmond and is now running the show as foreman on private home in Mapua worth a cool $1.4 million, something his boss Brett Dixon says pays credit to how much he has come along in the past few years. I think the main thing with guys nowadays is the passion and hes certainly got it, says Brett. Hes on a big job at the mo-ment. How much hes come in the last four years is huge. Hes pretty much running the whole thing.Nick will now take on the rest of the regional win-ners nation-wide in the race for the coveted New

Zealand Registered Master Builders Carters 2011 Apprentice of the Year.His prize for winning the top of the south is $2000 to spend at Carters to increase his toolkit, a spot in Outward Bound valued at $3600, travel and accommodation costs to the national finas in Wellington with up to three guests, plus others various tools and of course a trophy. Its a good feeling, its pretty well recognized so its definitely a good thing, says Nick.Brett says picking up apprentices is vital for the industry to continue. Its most important for the guys out there to pass their knowledge on and keep the industry afloat.Nick picked up his award at a ceremony held at the Trafalgar Centre last week. Something Brett gave him extra credit for, having to do a speech.

Take the bus, fans told ahead of Rugby World CupNelson City Council are urging rugby fans to take the bus and get to the game early ahead of Nelsons three Rugby World Cup pool games.Nelson is hosting three Rugby World Cup games starting with the Italy ver-sus Russia game on September 20. NCC Rugby World Cup 2011 commu-nications advisor Angela Ricker says the city will not have the same transport is-sues that Auckland faced on the opening night, as Nelson is a lot smaller scale, and a traffic management plan has been put in place since the start of the year and signed off by Rugby World Cup 2011 New Zea-land. We have no concerns that it will be

a nightmare. Weve managed matches of 10,000 at the park before and while this is 18,00 match, we think weve got ourselves in control, she says.However Angela is strongly encouraging people to get to the game early to avoid a late rush and the public transport systems are the best ways to do that, she says. Ob-viously the public transport is convenient, its easy, you get dropped off right outside. Its cheap and its there for people.Spectator parking will be available in Wakatu, Montgomery and Buxton Squares, at Neale Park (not available if weve had heavy rain) and at Akersten St. Grove St is the designated Taxi/Shuttle bus

drop off point. There are private vehicles drop off areas on Collingwood St north of Elliot St and on Halifax St outside the Li-brary. A Park and Ride bus service will be operating between Richmond and Nelson, dropping spectators off in Millers Acre Car Park. Buses will run from Richmond to Nelson via Waimea Rd every 15 min-utes between 5.15 pm and 6.15pm, and from Stoke to Nelson every 15 minutes via Tahunanui from 5.15 to 6.15pm for the September 20 and 27 matches. The buses will stop at the normal bus stops. Return journeys will take place after the game un-til approximately 10.15pm For the Australia versus Russia game on

October 1, the buses will leave Richmond and Stoke every 15 minutes from 1.15pm to 2.15pm. A charge of $4, from Rich-mond, and $3, from Stoke, each way will apply and advance tickets can be bought at Nelson City Council office on Trafal-gar St. Late Late buses will also be in place on the two Tuesday nights and additional Late Late buses will be running on Satur-day night. Accessible parking will be avail-able for spectators with wheelchair tickets in Paru Paru Rd, but contact NCC to book this in advance.

People living in Nelson and Tasman, and who are interested in healthy living, have a great opportunity to take part in a 30 day Live Local challenge, says Sam Gentry of Desire Fitness. The 30 day challenge will kick off with a buy-local expo to be held at Desire Fitness Studio on Parkers Rd, Tahu-nanui, 10am to 2pm, September 18. Buying local means fresher food, better quality and of course it supports the local economy and the environment. Its a win-win for every-one, says Sam, who believes that living well and keeping fit should be fun not a fad.

Nelson MP Nick Smith last week wel-comed the announcement of a Nelson Tas-man Trades Academy involving a partner-ship between the Nelson-Marlborough Institute of Technology, Garin College, Mo-tueka High School, Nelson College for Girls and Waimea College. This is fantastic news for Nelsons youth and the Nelson economy. The New Trades Academy will provide 110 places each year in tourism, primary indus-try, building and construction, hospitality, mechanical engineering, business adminis-tration and computing, says Nick.

High demand sees Dominos doubleA huge growth in demand has seen Dominos Rich-mond double its oven space, now able to produce 500 pizzas in one night.Store owner Chris Donnelly says the past five months have shown a noticeable increase for the first time since opening midway through 2008, and they have had to hire more staff as a result.On a Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dom-inos began to get so busy, one oven just couldnt cope with the amount of orders, says Chris. We opened in the middle of 2008, and it was in the third quarter of 2008 that the recession hit hard. Since then the store has never really lived up to ex-pectations. But in the last five months weve noticed a considerable shift. Weve had to hire more staff, which has been fantastic, and weve had to com-mission a second oven, he says.Dominos Richmond also made its way in to the top 20 growing Dominos stores in Australasia, in terms of percentage. It was just getting to the point where one oven just wasnt enough. We can now do 130 slots and hour and theres no way that we can order pizzas quicker than we can cook them now.The oven will now be able to cook six pizzas within around seven minutes, where it could only previ-ously cook three in that time. We can now be hav-ing 450, 500 pizzas in one night. When youve got the one oven, its obviously only half of that. Im sure the store will stay busy, but Im not sure if well have to worry about a third oven.

Eight mosaics have been erected on Cambridge St Park by Garin College and Saint Paul Vinnies to recognise youth volunteers.The initiative for creating these mo-saics came from the Tasman District Council Pride of Place project ad-dressing the issue of graffiti vandal-ism in the community.

The creating of these mosaics is one way that young people are getting youth art in to the community in a positive way.The Vinnies came up with the de-signs that show what youth volun-teers contribute to the community as well as what they personally gain from volunteering.

Garin College band the Peasants believe they can go one better and claim nation-al glory at the Smokefre-erockquest finals in Hamil-ton this Friday.The seven piece band, for-merly the Peasants of Eden, have added three new mem-bers in 2011, and drum-mer Chris Phillips believes that bigger sound can help them on their way to beating last years second place finish. Its a lot big-ger. Its an alternative big band sort of sound and the songs are more ma-ture musically, says Chris. Thats how Id describe it.The Peasants consists of lead vocalist Georgia Nott, Abbey and Chris Phillips, Chris, Joseph Corban-Banks, Rupert Wockner, Holly Tippler and Clark Hinton.Chris says having a years experience under their belt has aided the band, becom-ing more confident. But 2011 brings a new year and new bands to the stage, meaning they cant rely soley on last years knowl-edge. People do expect a bit of us, but in our minds its

a new competition, a new year, and were taking it on like that.Hours of stressed rehersal and band practices will be left on the stage of the 6000-seat Claudelands Arena. Were in it to win it. Were going to go all out. Our songs are ready now, we just have to give it a good per-formance. The styles in the music finals are so different, its so ecletcic that it comes down to what the judges are looking for. Chris says they have been looking at the other finalists YouTube vid-eos to check out what theyre up against. Everyone looks pretty good, pretty decent.Coming first place in New Zealand would mean good times ahead, says Chris, but the band would also reap the benefits of a recorded single at York St Studios, which would be released on the countrys radio stations, as well as on 1000 CDs, and $10,000 to spend at the Rockshop. Itd be an awe-some kickstart in to what we want to do. That would set us up. Wed get new new instruments and it would put us in the right pathway to make a career out of mu-sic.

Have your say on Civil DefenceIts now time for the public to have their say in the re-gions Civil Defence united.The past 12 months have been huge for Civil De-fence. Not just major earth-quakes in Canterbury but also large regional floods in Murchison, Golden Bay and Tapawera last year, and its disasters like these that re-gional manager Roger Ball says will spark a lot more interest for 2011.Planning for Civil Defence in Nelson Tasman is being reviewed and this is the chance for the public to have a say about how Civil Defence is organised in our commu-nity. The Nelson Tasman Civil Defence Emergency Management Group has released its draft regional Plan for consultation.The Plan sets out how Civil Defence is organised in our region and describes how the region prepares for, responds to and recovers

from emergency events.Copies of the draft plan can be viewed online on Nelson and Tasman District Coun-cils websites and at any Council office and library in Nelson City or Tasman District.

Submissions on the Plan are to be in writing and sent to: Nelson City Council, PO Box 645, Nelson 7040 or emailed to [email protected], or Tasman District Council, Private Bag 4, Richmond

or email [email protected]. Submissions can also be dropped off at Council offices throughout Nelson and Tasman.Submissions must be re-ceived no later than 4.00 pm on Friday 23 Septem-ber 2011. At a later date any person who has so request-ed shall be given the oppor-tunity to speak in support of their submission.For further information contact 546 9500.

Boat ride to take cyclists to and from MapuaTasmans Great Taste Trail cycleway ferry named The Flat Bottom Fairy will celebrate its official opening on Sunday October 2. The ferry will be operating from 9.30am5.30pm to take visitors and their bikes across the estuary for a gold coin donation or free to those in full fairy costume.The official opening will be at 12 noon on the Mapua shore to bless the ferry and open this part of the trail. The Nelson Cycle Festival event coin-cides with the completion of the 6.8km cycle trail through Rabbit Island mak-ing the day the perfect opportunity for individuals and families to get their bikes out and take in the latest, and most unique, cycle trail trip in New Zealand.The new 12 meter ferry was dispatched into the water in classic Kiwi fashion last month 1, shunted by a Hilux with tyres roped to the bullbars and sliding on scaffolding planks with pipes for rollers by owner / builders John Ward and Paul Nankivell. They have been working on the barge since last December, and will use it to ferry cyclists from Rabbit Island across to Mapua, plus for cruise and coffee trips on the estuary and out into Tas-man Bay in calm seas.The ferry is equipped with 15 bike racks and can take 50 passengers. Ma-

rine engineer John says he and house-builder Paul, who both have their skip-pers licences, will suck it and see as far as how the vessel is used, but they plan channel crossings once every two and a half hours in busy and peak pe-riods.Its all go for Tasmans link in the New Zealand Cycle Trail project with the trail name and brand being launched, new sections of trail being completed, a bridge over the Wairoa River under construction and the ferry between Mapua and Rabbit Island launched and test-run, ready for its first passen-gers.Tasmans Great Taste Trail, the official name for what has been previously known as the Tasman Loop is part of the New Zealand Cycle Trail pro-ject, which is being created to generate lasting economic, social and environ-mental benefits for New Zealand com-munities through a network of world-class cycling experiences.The Trail, which is being built in stages through a partnership between Tas-man District Council and the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust, will run from Nelson Airport in a loop around Tasman District passing through Ma-pua, Motueka, Riwaka. Ngatimoti, Ta-pawera, Kohatu, Belgrove, Wakefield, Brightwater and back to Richmond.

New manager joins the clubYou could forgive Derrick Gould for not being able to re-member everyones name on his first day of work. The new Greenacres Golf Club manager spent his first week getting to know all of the 500 members.The former banker was born in Durban, South Africa, and joins Greenacres following 12 years living in the Nelson region.Golf manager runs the rule over all the clubs financial matters and looks after the members and sponsors. Im just gener-ally out there with the members and making sure everyone is happy, says Derrick.Theres also the perk of playing a round of golf in his lunch hour, or once the work-day concludes.Derricks working life has con-sisted of banking in South Af-rica and New Zealand, as well as an unpaid position at the Napier Golf Club. But it was when he turned down a role with ANZ in Papua New Guinea that he found his way to Nelson with the Credit Union.His passion for golf has been ever-present so once he retired it was a natural progression working at a golf club and something he al-ways wanted to do.Hes had his fair share of practice on the course and has hit a best of 80 at Greenacres, which after his 21 handicap put his combined tally of 59.

Derrick says he would like to increase the membership for the club. My biggest chal-lenge is getting to know everybody and re-membering their names. Theres 600 people, how do I emember them all? But Ill take it step by step.

GETTING IN THE SWING OF IT: New Greenacres Golf Manager Derrick Gould started work on the course last week. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

It was only when the van Zoelen family showed their host daughter around Nel-son that they realized the regions true beauty. Marcella zan Zoelen hosted an interna-tional student through AFS and encour-ages others in Nelson to do the same, as it not only helps you learn about another culture but gives you a second chance to experience your own.Marcella first came around to the idea of hosting an international student when her daughter was keen on doing an exchange herself. Marcella says she was dragged along to an AFS meeting but came home knowing she wanted to host someone from overseas. I thought oh well, it might be a good idea to see how it all works, she says. Her daughter is now currently on an ex-change in Argentina and Marcella has just finished hosting her second international student, Caterina Secchi, 17, from Italy. Marcella says its a really neat experience for the family. You get to know someone from a different culture and how they perceive things. Its just forming friendships really.Caterina, who attended Garin College, spent her

final days in Nelson celebrating Italys arrival in Nelson. It was really neat. I took her to see them arrive at the airport. They were the life and soul of the party. They sung the national anthem and had red, white and green all over.

If you are a lawn enthusiast then scarifying (de-thatching) your lawn should be given top priority in your spring lawn maintenance.Just what is lawn scarification and how will it improve my lawn condi-tion? Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers manager, Mark Bloxham advises; Lawn scarifiers use steel blades to cut out thatch and control weeds; hence it is also known as de-thatching. In scarifying machines these blades rotate and penetrate the ground surface. Scarifying can also be performed by manually and vig-orously raking, but it will not get the same results as using a machine, and can be a backbreaking task. Lawn thatch is removed more easily by this cutting action and the result is a firmer lawn that allows the passage of air, nutrients and water easily into it. By letting the scarifier blades cut into the soil, you will open the soil surface and make an ideal seedbed for introducing new grass seed to your lawn. The blades also prune the grass plants because it cuts them downwards rather than cross cutting as in mowing. This pruning, just like

pruning a bush or plant causes extra shoots to grow thus thickening the turf. The chopping action is also a good way of controlling some of the coarser or delicate weed grasses, broadleaf and creeping weeds and removes moss. Scarifying can be a harsh process and, initially will make your lawn look worse but, ul-timately, can make it much, much better. So, please have faith! Spring and autumn are the best times to scarify your lawn. The perfect time for scarification is when the grass is growing strongly. Ideally, the soil should be moderately wet but with a touch-dry surface and the danger of late frosts should have passed. Nelson Bays Chainsaws and Mowers sell scarifiers, but they acknowledge that with a rrp of $1295, this may be a costly outlay for a machine you will only use a few times a year. For that reason they have a scarifier available for hire at affordable rates, with op-tions for half or full day hires. Call in to see the team, take advantage of their expert advice and get scari-fying for a great looking lawn this summer.

After digging up a couple of photos of old Richmond, Waimea Weeklys Way We Were writer Peter Kearns tells us what they mean to him.Now here is a photo (left) from the past and whilst I can remem-ber Dorans Garage I am unable to precisely pinpoint where this location was, as I do recall the business being in also another situation and likely that was just along towards the Mobil Station in Gladstone Rd. This photo however has me stumped, is it in Cambridge St, towards Queen St after the Cambridge St Clinic?Please can someone inform as to where this situation is and even identify the per-sonnel and whose car is on the hoist. We will print what we are able to find out in the Waimea Weekly over the next few weeks.Another photo Ive found is the one looking down Queen St, on the left. The shop to the left is what was R.A.Mace Ltd furnish-ers and extends to the old two storey building today that houses the Travel Shop and various other businesses over-head and to the rear.Along from the furniture

shop was for a time and likely when this photo was taken, a menswear shop

(Dixons and later in my memo-ry serves me correct Dick Aus-ten operated later a Jean Shop).Looking beyond these shops you can pick out the old two storey brick building only in recent years demolished and today where Fletcher Vautier Moore and partners are cur-rently housed.

The large blue gum tree fronting the Richmond Park can be seen to the right of the photo further along, but it is not there anymore, cut down five years ago.

A view of Queen St, looking towards Lower Queen St. Note the large blue gum tree down the road. The stump of that tree still sits outside Richmond Park after it was cut down five years ago.

You can give him a hard time about his good old days of service in the navy and his hearty laugh which is truly deafening BUTDont ever give him a hardtime about selling houses because he knows his stuff.

After winter, spring inevitably comes around. It brings with it hope and new life new begin-nings. Springs great eh!Its not always spring though. Life contains a lot of uncer-tainty doesnt it? Random stuff happens. Job loss, relationship breakdown, sickness or trouble all knock our confidence and leave us wondering what life is about.My family live in Christchurch they are fine. But some have been significantly impacted by the earthquakes. Coping with the constant stress of potential aftershocks is not easy for any-one. On top of that our fam-ily has recently experienced the death of both my parents. It would be fair to say that at times it has all felt a bit much.So where is God in the midst

of all this? As a minister, Im supposed to be 100 per cent sure that all of life is in Gods hands and God is totally in control right? Well I am, but not always! I know Gods love and compassion are present. I know God brings good out of bad but I dont always feel that presence!Yet good things have happened. Over the last year we have had two new grand-children and Ive been recently appointed Vicar at Holy Trinity Church. Friendships have been renewed and celebrations have occurred. I have much to be

grateful for regardless of how I feel at times.

Life has its ups and downs; random stuff keeps hap-pening. Im a slow learner but am growing in trust in the God who is always with me, regardless of how I feel. And at spring time its easy to re-joice in the God of new beginnings. Being part of a car-ing Christian com-

munity helps me in my relationship with the God of new beginnings. Why not check out a church near you and see if the people there can help you know God too?

Just a thought...

Get off the grassGreenacres Golf Club presidents message

to whitebaitersGreenacres Golf Club has given whitebait-ers driving on the golf green their final warning and wants to put a stop to it be-fore someone wrecks their land.Greenacres president Graham Sherlock says while they dont mind people white-baiting in the estuaries around the Best Is-land golf course if they walk down, there is strictly no cars or dogs allowed.Graham says each day there are four or five people down at the bottom of the green at a time with their cars parked up whitebait-ing.They just drive up all over the course, which is a problem, but they get a bit upset and they say its a Queens chain, were allowed to be here. But our bound-ary is on the other side of the river, its just been eroded over the years, says Graham. Theres no rights to public access on the course.Graham had blocked the road with a fallen tree earlier in the month, but cars were still driving on to the green to get to the river for fishing.

Greenacres Golf Club president Graham Sherlock is fed up with whitebaiters driving on the green.

The Rugby World Cup is here, and now Tasmans biggest party to cel-ebrate is only days away.Richmond is to host three-days of cultural diversity, entertainment and celebrations as the Richmond Festival welcomes the USA nation-al rugby team, as well as rugby fans from far and wide. This is part of the nationwide real New Zealand Festival, coinciding with Rugby World Cup 2011.United States was chosen by Rich-mond Festival organisers as they seeked out to adopt a second team. Former Waimea Old Boys center Junior Sifa has been selected in the USA squad for the World Cup with the team scheduled to play Italy on September 27 at Trafalgar Park.Organiser Paul McConachie

says backing USA will add some friendly inter-city rivalry to the big game at Trafalgar Park and hopes the Tasman residents will be wearing red, white and blue come the 27th. We obviously all support the All Blacks but theres 19 other teams here in the country and we want them to feel at home, so this is out way of doing it.A block party, tailgate party and a Tasman Rugby Sevens competi-tion will headline the Richmond Festival which is brought to you by Richmond Unlimited, Nelson A&P association and the Tasman District Council. These are some quite prominent American cultures that we wanted to bring to the re-gion. Theyre all iconic and really colourful.

Stars n Stripes Block Party Programme

Wanderers Under-13 rugby sevens players Jamie Thompson, Caleb Delany, Riley Bensemann, Liam Finlayson, Tiger Jefford and Josh Bensemann are gearing up for the Tasman Sevens Invitational Tour-nament coming to Jubilee Park on September 25. There will be five different grades in the competition.

Nelson Bays Police are reminding all rugby fans that the Rugby World Cup has strict criteria for all people entering Trafalgar Park to watch games.For the safety, security, and enjoyment of all ticket holders and guests at Tra-falgar Park, a number of items will be prohibited from the stadium. Many of these are items people have tradition-ally been able to take to Trafalgar Park, including chilly bins, buggies, umbrel-las and BYO alcohol.Police also advise that people who have been drinking alcohol prior to arriving at the match venue risk being refused admittance.If anyone appears intoxicated, or af-

fected by alcohol in any way they will not be allowed into the ground, said Constable Glenn Lloyd-Jones.Police also advise people to make use of the public transport available for the matches as parking in central Nelson will be at a premium and no vehicles will be allowed within 500m of Tra-falgar Park. People in areas such as Richmond can make life a lot easier for themselves by using the park and ride service, Constable Lloyd-Jones said.We want people to enjoy themselves and have a good time at the Rugby. A bit of forward planning and knowledge of what will be expected could go a long way.

If you have your drivers licence, theres a likely chance that it was thanks to Kevin Bannan. The driving instructor has been in the business for more than 20 years, ending up on the top of traffic islands, round a-bouts and his foot planted firmly on his dual control brake.While he may have had is fair share of bumpy rides, its all worth it, says Kevin, who is enjoys the satisfaction of watching learner drivers turn in to experienced and safe drivers. Its very rewarding. Getting your drivers licence can change your life, he says. Everyones got to do

it when they feel theyre ready. A lot of young people are keen to do it and it certainly makes life a lot easier if you can drive.The drivers licence test is changing in February next year from 15 minutes to 45 minutes, covering more ground and situations, something Kevin says should have happened a long time ago. Kevin says 15 hours of driving is the usual time it takes to get a novice driver up to the stage where he, or she, can drive, but the new test will reflect 120 hours of driving.

On the write trackSenior students at Ranzau School have been giving their junior peers a helping hand when it comes to writing.Senior students were paired up with a junior buddy last month and took the reigns of teaching and men-toring, something they were not familiar with.Acting principal Dave Sampson says the schools fo-cus for 2011 has been on writing so it was a natural progression for the older students to help out.And the results were fantastic, he says. We will def-initely be doing this again next year.

At birth a babys brain is only about 15 percent connected, with most of the remaining 85 percent of connections formed in the first three years of life, says childcare company Porse. The Brainwave Trust Aotearoa in asso-ciation with Porse In-Home Childcare

is set to unlock the secrets of childrens brain development at a free commu-nity presentation in Hope.We will be covering the critical peri-ods for learning skills and how good and bad experiences can affect the developing brain, says Porse Nelson

spokesperson Michelle Collier. Par-ents, prospective parents and caregiv-ers can register their interest for the seminar at Hope Community Church by calling the Porse Nelson team on 0800 023 456 or 545 9228.

SHOW TIME: Raymond Griffith, 14, takes part in the Tapawera Area School production Gold Rush. The production was performed last month in front of big crowds at the school. Photo: Susan Fenemor.

Tapawera Area Schools school pro-duction went off with colour, dance, drama and lots of enthusiasm from the students.The students performed two different productions, one for the junior and one for the senior students.The productions were about the days of the Gold Rush, and covers the sto-ry of the gold diggers, townspeople and cattle rustlers who live in Gold Rush town. The mayor wants to sell the town to some business people from the city called The consortium, who want to turn the town into a tourist town resort. Deputy drincipal Tanya Newble says that musical productions are a fabu-lous experience for all the students. The hours of work put into them doesnt out weigh the benefits.
