Carol Hargadon has made the cut.The Richmond resident has recently been shortlisted as a finalist in the Brancott Estate World of Wear-ableArt™ Awards Show, held annually in Wellington.Carol has spent the past four months working on her design, titled DS (Dishes-Smishes), a creation con-structed out of metallic pot scrubs.She says she gave up counting the number of hours spent on construct-ing her detailed costume. “It always comes to a crunch at the end where it’s not hard to spend four or five hours a night on it, you loose count of the

hours.”Carol has been entering the awards since 1991 and say it’s become more of an addiction than anything.The whole competition has come a long way since the early 90’s, not just Carol’s creative streak.“To get in now is a huge thing, before you’d have a good chance if you did something that was different, but the level every year just gets bumped up.”The awards moved to the capital city from sunny Nelson around five years ago and Carol says a lot of Nelsonians still enter the competition. In fact, Carol is just one of five Richmond

designers to be selected as a category finalist.Having anyone being able to enter is a great aspect of the show according to Carol, who says she is always blown away with what people come up with.Carol says attempting to do something she is really proud of is what keeps her going back for more year after year.“I’ve only had one that I was really pleased with up on stage, and that was one I did when I was studying and it got a prize so that was cool.”Winners of each category will be an-nounced at an awards night on August 26.

From dishes to a spectacular costume

Hope residents say they are dissapointed but com-fortable with a decision by the Environment Court, giving a local funeral di-rector permission to build a crematorium at Gardens of the World. However, Waimea Rich-mond Funeral Services owner Francis Day says the crematorium will be an asset to the region.The proposed gas-fired crematorium, a 25-seat chapel, ticket kiosk, of-fice and memorial garden will be constructed in Clover Rd, on the back of the Gardens of the World property. This project was granted consent by the Tasman District Council last year after an earlier larger ap-plication with plans for a cafe was turned down. Meanwhile, Living in Hope, a group of about 50 members of the com-munity, has fought the resource consent appli-cation and launched the subsequent Environment Court appeal. Debate on this issue has spanned

several years, and Fran-cis is glad the process has been completed.Spokeswomen Trina Zim-merman says the group is disappointed the crema-torium has been given the go-ahead.“But we are relieved that the expert evidence pre-sented at the hearing has proved there will be no adverse environmen-tal effects arising from the crematorium on our neighbours and nearby vineyards or the Nelson wine industry generally.”Francis says it was great the court was able to clarify issues and answer questions, along with the clarification of a consent dated 1991.The garden, to be known as the Parker Remem-brance, will be a com-pletely different entity to the Gardens of the World. “That will stay the same and be located on a back section. This new cre-matorium will be a com-pletely new venture and the Gardens of the World will still be available for

for the community to enjoy,” says Fran-cis.An unproductive orchard has been set aside for a garden, and will have two separate entrances.Francis says he has received numerous calls with people questioning the future of the gardens. “When people ask if the gardens are still open we say or course it is, nothing has changed.”

Francis, who is a third generation Nel-son funeral director, says the facility will prove to be “quite an asset” to the area. “A lot of people enjoy the gardens and that’s the way we want it to be. The Hope area means a lot to my family, my history has strong ties to the region.”The court imposed conditions when giving the crematorium the green light, with parking issues and monitoring re-quirements for discharges needing to reach a specific standard.

What’s your secret to keeping warm this winter? Do you enjoy the colder months?

Natalie Dick, Richmond.

“I like the fire and the food. I like the winter because you get all those sunny days, much better than all that rain.”

Robyn Butterworth, Rich-mond.

“I go for a walk during the day to keep me warm, for about three quarters of an hour. I don’t like the winter, it’s too cold.”

Jordan Pahl, Richmond.

“The winter’s not bad. You get to go snowboarding up Rain-bow. But I use the heat-pump to keep me warm.”

A Christchurch organisation has approached Waimea Weekly in search of wheel-chair friendly accommodation for an earthquake survivor. We would like to think the Rich-mond community could help this woman, who has a lot happening in her life. “I'm in the Red Zone and my health has not been the best. Having had no water and pow-er has not helped and we still have no sewer-age,” she says.Being able to get away to sunny Nelson would be a great experience for this women, so get in touch with us by emailing [email protected] – or by phoning 544 9037.

Murchison fire chief made a ‘life member’The horror of four fatal accidents in Murchison in just three months nearly “wrecked” the Mur-chison Fire Brigade, but its chief fire officer Paul Wilkins says they have managed to bounce back.Three fatal accidents late last year and then one more early this year nearly destroyed the brigade according to Paul, who says the group are mostly in the younger age bracket, making it harder for them to overcome trauma. “We’re coming back now though, we just need a few more numbers.”Paul, who is born and bred in Murchison, re-ceived a life membership at the United Fire Bri-gade Association Service Awards held over the weekend.Paul says he was blown away with the award, and was also the recipient of a 27 year Gold Bar for

service to the force.He says there have been too many highlights to name, but there have been some terrible acci-dents over the years that have been “real down-ers”.Other brigade members to receive awards on Sat-urday night were Wayne Gillespie, a certificate of appreciation for contribution to the brigade, Tim Baker, Kelvin Eggers, Dave Seelye and Joe McLel-lan were presented five year medals and Ella Pahl was presented a two year silver bar for 17 years service.Recent figures compiled by the station see most of their callouts being for crashes. “Around 95 per cent are motor vehicle related, while only five per cent are structure fires.”

LIFE MEMBER: Murchison fire chief Paul Wilkins is presented his Life Honorary Membership by Peter Holland on behalf of the United Fire Brigade Association.

Six local police officers have been awarded a District Commander’s Commendation for the way they handled the Tapawera shooting ear-lier this year.The six officers, led by Richmond Sergeant Blair Hall, arrived when the shooter was still on the loose and managed to contain him so no further damage was caused. The six officers were Constables Kyle Bruning, Nicholas Kempthorne, Stuart Granger and Andrew Nevin

as well as Blair and Senior Constable Peter Cobeldick.The officers were awarded the com-mendation at the Mid Year Pay Pa-rade at the Nelson Fire Station last week.

Boxes aim to give them a smile

MAKING THEM SMILE: Richmond woman Megan Wright hopes the community will get behind her initiative to make “smile boxes” for the children in Christchurch. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Local woman Megan Wright is aiming to col-lect a truck load of fun to send down to the children of Christchurch. Megan, and the rest of the Wright family, is hoping to inspire gen-erous community members into collecting and creating boxes of fun for the young people in the devastated city. To do this is simple; just fill up a show box, or something similar, with items that will make a child smile these school holidays.Boxes can be left at City Church on Hardy St before July 22. Suggested items are funny toys, books, non-perishable food and letters of en-couragement. For more information contact Megan on 548-7815.

Richmond Festival organiser Paul Mc-Conachie is thrilled he has the chance to show the rest of the region what plans are in store for September.A Rugby World Cup road show will be making a stop in Nelson early on Mon-day morning, from 6am to 9.30am along Trafalgar St. “This is an opportunity for the people of our region to get a glimpse of what RWC 2011 is going to be like, and find out about the associated RWC events happening in the Nelson Tasman region,” says Paul.The road show consists of an oversized custom designed truck with the capac-ity to open out into a 72m sq exhibition style space designed and fitted out with

exciting features and interactive fa-cilities.In addition to the exhibition in the truck, there will be a marquee where Richmond Festival organisers will be able to promote and display what they have planned for the festival.There’s even a chance the festival promotion could make it to tel-evision. TVNZ will be following the tour around New Zealand and broadcasting live from 20 locations and covering the highlights of each location on Breakfast with Tamati Coffey. Paul says while there is no guarantee that the Richmond Festival event will be featured on Breakfast, the

more visual, exciting and compelling the display is, the greater the likelihood it will be showcased. “Re-gardless of the TV coverage, the road show will attract a large local audience, so it is an ideal opportunity to en-gage with the local market to make them aware of and excited about our event.”Monday morning will also see the festival organisers throw a mini tailgate party as part of their exhibition, a

trial run for what will be hitting Queen St in September.

WACKY WALK: Ash Taylor, Tash Mehrtens and Kirsty Turner from Harte Meadowfresh distributors preparing for the Wacky Walk lat-er this month. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Wacky walk as a fundraiserRichmond local Tash Mehrtens and her band of colourful followers has organised a wacky walk in aid of stem cell treatment.The walk, planned for July 23, is to raise money for a four year-old girl from Dunedin. Tash used to flat with the girl’s father and recently decided she need-ed to do something to help.Tash is hoping a walk and other activities will raise around $5000. However, the family need $45,000 for stem cell treatment so anything raised will please Tash.The Wacky Walk will start at Henley School, travel-ling along Salisbury Rd and down Queen St. The walkers will go through the Richmond Mall in their colourful attire, attracting a fair bit of attention for their cause.They will then head back to Henley where a sausage sizzle and face painting will await them. “The sup-port so far has been fantastic, our biggest support so far would be Harte Meadowfresh Distributors, they’re donating us their milkshake caravan for the day,” says Tash.And local businesses have also donated vouchers as spot prizes, but Tash says they need more for the hundreds of walkers she is hoping will turn up. “Ideally I would love if we could get 600 people on the walk, that would be a very colourful display of fun.”Tash has set up a Facebook page to gauge interest in the walk, so if walkers could register your interest, simply search “Wacky Walk for Darrylann”.

Richmond retailers steady as winter kicks inDespite the winter chill, Richmond re-tailers appear to be trucking along says the chair of Richmond Unlimited, An-drew McGlashen.Andrew, who also owns McGlashen Pharmacy, says some retailers are cur-rently experiencing patchy and erratic shopping patterns but overall, locals are still spending.Richmond Mall manager David Hill says shopping at the mall is in great shape and couldn’t be better.“Some days we may be rushed off our feet but other days we will have large quite spells. I haven’t noticed much dif-ference from last year, but through the

months of June, July and August there are normally not many people about,” says Andrew.Stirling Sports owner Dave Haywood says customer numbers in the shop are much the same as previous years. “Peo-ple are still positive about shopping but they’re having a good look. Everyone is spending time before purchasing to en-sure they’re getting the right price.”Numbers through the mall have been steady, especially in May.“We had the best May on record, we were up six per cent on last year,” says David.This can be attributed to winter finally hinting and customers choosing to shop

inside for warmth. David says anecdotally, the mall has been drawing people from Nelson. Both Andrew and David believe it will be interesting to see what comes from the decision made by Nelson City Coun-cil to introduce free parking in the city on a Tuesday. “It’s one of the most bi-zarre decisions Nelson City Council has ever made. I’m staggered as to why they have done this, there’s a reason why Tuesday is the quietest day of the week,” says David.Retailers will be hoping for an influx of customers these July holidays, which celebrates the run in to Christmas.

Hybrid? Electric car? Who needs it when you can drive a great-looking petrol-powered auto and be in one of the greenest cars on the planet.That’s a reality for Kiwis in a few months with the all-new Hyundai Elantra compact car just named a ‘2011 Greenest Vehicle’ by the American Coun-cil for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).It’s one of just 12 vehicles on the list, joining hy-brids and electric cars like Toyota Prius, Chevro-let Volt and Nissan Leaf.“This is a very important, real-world recogni-tion of the 2011-year Elantra, which we will be launching here in the second quarter of this year,” said the Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau.“This American organisation is notoriously tough in its stance: green up, or you’re toast.“It’s a ringing endorsement of Hyundai’s ongoing dedication to finding the most appealing solu-tions for today’s drivers, reinforcing our commit-ment to a cleaner environment as well as sustain-able driving. The new Elantra shows you don’t have to drive an unattractive hybrid to lead the way on environmental awareness,” Mr Rudden-klau added.

“In this car you can go green with style and per-formance.”Only one, eco car from each manufacturer is eli-gible for the list. Two other Hyundai models were also in the running. Both the i45 midsize sedan and ix35 small SUV are named on the “Greener Choices 2011” list. The “Greener Choices” list is restricted to wide-ly available powered-powered cars, SUVs and Utes with automatic transmissions, highlighting the widespread availability of environmentally-friendly vehicle choices in many segments of the market.ACEEE is a Washington-based independent, non-profit research group dedicated to advanc-ing energy efficiency as a means of protecting the environment and strengthening the economy. Founded in 1980 by leading researchers in the energy field, it works with the US government, the private sector, research institutions, and other nonprofit organisations. It has named Hyundai among its leaders in fuel efficiency for the past six years in a row. This is the council's 14th an-nual rating of the most eco-friendly cars on the market.

Wilson Hawke talks fondly of his wife’s miniature collection. He says it was a large part of her life, that she was a perfectionist right down to the last piece before she passed away seven years ago.The collection is now fondly known as Mabel’s Minis and before it heads to Dunedin, where the couple’s daugh-ter lives, Wilson sits down for a chat with reporter Teresa Hattan about his wife’s other love.

Mabel’s first foray into miniatures was when she was at school. She had a doll house and was able to even-tually fill it with matchstick furniture. She then sold the house for five pounds, quite a sum in those days.When Mabel and Wilson got married in 1954 the real obsession started.The couple went to a party at the end of Saxton Rd where Mabel spotted an old colonial cottage, which has since been de-molished. “She was rather taken with this and not very much later she thought she would try and make it. So we got to work and she decided how it was going to be, and one of the things which really tickled my fancy was that she was so particular about detail.”Mabel decided she didn’t like the way the chimney looked, it didn’t look as if it had been used so she lit a fire in the fire place, which blackened the top of the chimney. “It looked good, that was how it should be.”

Wilson, as a woodwork teacher, often made miniature tools for his wife.“I was also her wood merchant. When she wanted timber for a particular piece of furniture she would say I want some 12 x 1s. We talked full size; she didn’t say she wanted some timber an inch wide and two millimeters thick. I knew what she was talking about; she knew what she was talk-ing about.”Wilson says it was often mind boggling to think what his wife could do.

Mabel was able to create anything she wanted with her “mini” machines.“As she got more skilled she would do a piece and then wait for the glue to dry. This was a very common phrase, what are you doing? ‘I’m just waiting for the glue to dry’, because you didn’t rush these things.”Back in the early days a miniature collector couldn’t buy hinges or door frames which these days they have access to.

It wasn’t uncommon for Mabel to whip up some window fasteners out of tobacco tin. “And they worked, it was genuine kiwi in-genuity.”Over the years Mabel re-created several family buildings, some which no longer exist.“Where do you stop? She just didn’t stop.” In the early part of 2004 Wilson says his wife was starting to fail. “She had made a start on another job, something I had made way back in the 1940s and the tim-ber was cut and it was sitting on the bench in her workshop, she never got back to it.” Mabel was able to put her hand to anything from furniture and dolls houses to build-ings, but Wilson says she wasn’t that keen on putting dolls into her creations.“A lot of the miniature collectors go all whimsy and make mouse houses and Peter Rabbit, all in theme. There’s some magnifi-cent work, but it wasn’t Mabel’s thing, she went for precision if possible, in minia-ture.”Wilson says the couple were fortunate that because of his teaching job Mabel didn’t have to go out and work when the children came along. The pair spent most of their married life in Nelson and Mabel was a much respected member of the miniature community.

years as well as provide some quirky and inspiring up to date exhibits.There will also be an inaugural “Eyebright Art to Wear Jewellery competition” with the chance for entrants to create their own “take” on a piece of jewellery with a bo-tanical theme. From humble beginnings in an old cheese factory in Appleby selling their own dried flowers, Eyebright has grown into a popu-

lar destination for both locals and tourists, and a landmark Christ-mas store in its own premises in McShane Road.Adrienne says she believes the Eyebright success story is down to the absolute passion she and co owner Peter Owen share for the business, and the unwavering sup-port they have had over the years from extended family, customers, suppliers and their bank manager. “Communication and honesty are the most important things in busi-ness,” says Adrienne. “We have built up fantastic rela-tionships and they have stood us in great stead through good times and bad, and enabled us to con-tinue on through so many years.”This works two ways and Eye-bright is doing its best right now to support their Christchurch sup-pliers as they try to recover from the disastrous consequences of the earthquakes.

Adrienne says she has seen a huge change over the years in customer’s tastes and abilities. “Apart from the changes in interior de-sign, there is now a huge increase in peo-ple’s confidence with decorating their own homes. “When we started the business, tastes were simpler and few people felt confident to experiment with different styles. Now they often come in to the store with exciting new ideas they implement themselves”.She says this also reflects in fashion with a willingness to wear a much wider range of

jewellery than 25 years ago.Co-owner Peter Owen thinks Eyebright’s success is largely a result of Adrienne’s flair with colour, and her artistic side. “There are not many shops you can walk into and hear the piano being played while you wander, just one of Adrienne’s many extra talents. I never know what she’s go-ing to come up with next!” he says. All part of the enchantment that is Eye-bright.There will be an official launch of the Flo-ral Festival for media and invited guests on Thursday 7 July 5.30pm – 7.00pm.

After 11 years overseas Chris and his wife Kirsty decided it was time to move their young family back home to New Zealand.Eco-tek Services is a new name in the area, it’s not a large franchise but a small locally owned and op-erated family business. We pride ourselves in the quality of our work, our professionalism and our ability to carry out work with minimal amount of disruption to our clients. We offer same day service, seven days a week. Whether you have a large or small job, we will work with you to make sure you get the result you want.Carpet and upholstery cleaning every 6-12 months is a great way to create a healthy environment for you and your family, especially for allergy and asthma sufferers. Steam cleaning removes dirt, stains, bac-teria, dust mites and deep seated mould that regular vacuuming just won’t do. Steam cleaning also ex-

tends the life of your carpets and lounge suites by removing abrasive grit and sand that wears down car-pet and upholstery fibres.Pest control is important to main-

tain, we need to con-trol the amount of biting, stinging, and blood feeding insects that are around the home. Rodents are also a problem and are attracted to our homes by food and somewhere warm to nest and breed.Eco-tek services has strong environmental

values and only use products that are biodegradable and environmen-tally friendly. Our trained and high-ly skilled technicians can provide you with a friendly, knowledgeable and professional service in all forms of carpet cleaning, upholstery clean-ing and pest control.We are offering free Scotchguard (fabric and upholstery protector) if you make a booking with us during the month of July, conditions apply.

Class topic turns constructive for studentsSeveral junior and senior classes at St Pauls in Richmond have taken practical learning to the next step recently, with a number of students constructing bridges.Students say they have been learning about structures, and in particular bridges, and how they are built.The term’s topic has been bigger, stronger, faster

and the students had to plan what they were go-ing to build and come up with a design brief. The students say a lot of research went into each bridge and it was all a lot of fun.“It was better than doing work,” added a cheeky John Noble.The senior students were even asked to name their bridge.

Stock reportWe are now on fort-nightly sales at Bright-water through the win-ter months; the next sale will be Wednesday July 20. At last weeks Brightwater sale all classes of stock sold well, prime lambs from $140 to $174, prime ewes $120 to $145, the best of the store lambs from $120 to $138. There were no inlamb ewes in the sale, how-ever there is a huge demand for them at present. At last

week’s Hastings sale a line of capital stock Romney two tooth ewes fetched a whopping $310. The concern-ing part is, what goes

up must come down but lets hope these val-ues stick around for a while long-er. Beef schedule depending on

the weight of the animal is any-where from $4.20 to $4.40 kg. With the World Cup coming up in September these prices could im-

prove even more.

Just a thoughtI had to laugh when reading a report in media today, that it is possible that we will have a “Mild Winter” it kind of sounded funny after all, many business-es are clearing out their winter stock with some quoting end of season sale.Yes we are now in the middle of the winter month after enjoying a rather warm winter and we get a report that says “Mild winter on cards” mild condi-tions are likely to continue through late winter, with above temperatures. What made me chuckle is that after enjoy-ing such a mild winter the experts are now suggesting a mild winter is on the cards, rather interesting such a quote as tonight is quite a cool night.The report did even quote “Cold snaps typical of winter would occur from time to time”.Isn’t it good to get such reports, but I wonder how many were shocked with this news, after all we are getting close to half way through winter, already we have seen spring flowers popping out somewhat earlier than usual.Maybe I am being unfair to our very knowledgeable weather forecasters or is it just a news item a bit late, as recently watching a local primary school enjoy their annual mid winter swim at the beach and hearing the teachers telling the students it was time to get out of

the water as it just didn’t seem to be as cold as mid winter should be. This news may not come as great surprise. With a mild winter on the cards, there was also the suggestion that there could be some cold snaps occurring from time to time, wow that makes even greater news, af-ter all it is winter.We all enjoy good news and it is good to know that our mild winter isn’t just our imagination after all.The bible brings good news and even though it was written so long along it is real for today. 400 years ago this year, a Bi-ble was published that became the most influential edition of the most influential book in human history. That Bible became known as the King James Version.The publication of the King James Version was the culmi-nation of an intense 80 year period of Bible translation. Revolutionaries like Martin Luther and William Tyndale shared a dream that the Bible would be available to people in their own language.In the 16th and 17th centuries, that dream became a reality for the Eng-lish speaking world, especially with the publication of the King James Bible.Giving lay people access to the Bible had a huge impact, not only on the church but in society at large. It is said

that the message contained in the book played an important role in the estab-lishment of democracy in both England and America, as well as giving birth to many of the world’s most famous chari-ties, the modern hospital and hospice movement, even shaping the modern day education system. It is the book that millions of children learned to read from. It is still regarded, along with Shakespeare, as the greatest work of English literature ever published.

While it is 400 years since the Kings James version of the bi-ble was produced, there is now many versions available and the bible is still being trans-lated into many languages, it is also available as an app on your mobile or ipod. The bi-ble speaks of creation, history, and the future, our future and through God’s love and grace how we can change our future for eternity. Maybe you have a bible in your house, even

if it is that big old family bible or that little Gideon’s bible that you may have received when you were at secondary school, why not get it out and have a look at that good news, news that will affect your future. The Bible Society celebrate 17th July this year as Bible Sunday. Come along to a local church during a service and you will hear more about that Good news.

The legendary Harold Nelson, gold medalist in the six miles at the 1950 Empire Games in Auckland, died in Nelson on Friday aged 88. He also won the silver medal in the three miles at the same games on Eden Park. Harold competed in the 5000m and 10,000m at the 1948 London Olympic Games where he was the New Zealand team captain and flag bearer. He finished sixth in the first heat of the 5000m in 15m 34.4s and he did not finish the 10,000m. He won the New Zealand one mile title in 1947, the three mile title in 1947 and 1948, the six mile title in 1948 and the New Zealand cross country title in 1946 and 1948. Harold spent 12 years teaching physical education at Nelson College and six years at Waimea College, and taught accounting at Nelson Polytechnic until his retirement in 1983. But he never strayed far from the track. He coached athletes such as New Zealand champions Peter Pearless, Wally McCallum, Lyndon Chandler and Anna and Natasha Buckley, and a Waimea College pupil named Rod Dixon, who would go on to win a bronze medal in the 1500m

at the 1972 Olympics. He officiated and directed meets and has always been there with his stopwatch. He received an MBE for his services to sport.

Round three of the Nelson Motor-cycle Club’s Cross Country series was hosted by the Marlborough Motorcycle Club at Havlock last weekend. A very wet and slippery track with fog for most of the juniors race showed how good the junior riders are handling the conditions. Marlborough riders joined the lo-cals to make the junior field of 24 for the one and a half hour ride. Mitchell Sowman again dominated, getting in one more lap than the rest. Mitchell now has a good point’s lead in the junior big wheel and overall, with a third and two firsts. Josh Orchard was second overall and big wheel with Charlie Rowe third overall and first small wheel. The seniors category saw 50 riders line up for the three hour race on a shortened track. Whilst racing, some riders decided to take a mid-winter swim and wash their bikes in the pond on the side of the track.

Michael Patterson and Ethan Bruce had a good battle, with Michael the better of Bruce in the end for a good win overall and first four stroke open, Bruce second overall and first two stroke, Simon Routledge was third overall and first in vets. The vets has come down to the last round, with Simon or Kim Davies needing to win the last round to find a winner. Shane McGowan again dominated the pre ‘98 on his TT350, Bill An-glesey was second with Rob Angle-sey third. Shane has wrapped up the pre ‘98 title with one round to go. Bill and Rob need to beat each other for second in class at the last round. The final round is on July 10 at Rob Anglesey’s farm, Kinzett Creek, Tadmor which will be good for spectators. Round four sign in is 8am to 9am for all competitors with seniors rac-ing from 9.30am. For more information see www.nmcc.org.nz or phone Shane McGowan 027 486 0183.

Karen Fulton may be turning 40 in a week or so, but that cer-tainly isn’t holding her back.The top cyclist has spent the last three years running a local team primarily sponsored by Fresh Choice Richmond and Toxic Coffee.Karen has recently been of-fered to ride with a new team, so she says she made the deci-sion to “jump ship” and not run a team here this season.Karen will now be riding for a team based in Christchurch, team Orbea NZ, which is sup-ported by Orbea and Orca.The team of four female rid-ers includes a national under 19 champion from Alexandra who is moving into the sen-ior ranks, and two riders from Christchurch. “It’s quite a dy-namic team, it excites me,” she says.When the team originally ap-proached Karen with the offer she said it wasn’t going to hap-pen because she had her own team to run which she was really passionate about. “But I decided that it was time to have a year off from being the organiser, I just wanted to be the rider.” Karen says she’s been offered a good deal, but the change in team was more to give her an opportunity to focus on herself, instead of continually worrying about other riders and putting together a team, along with sponsorship and all the admin that goes with that. “It’s nice to have an opportunity to just be a rider and have some good backing.”Karen will still have a focus on junior development, with a junior team still backed by Fresh Choice.“It’s great to be able to develop and put something into the younger riders. It’s something to keep things happen-

ing in this area and to keep local busi-nesses interested and to keep trying to get younger girls coming through. Not having the senior team will just give me a much bigger chance to concentrate on me for a bit.”Karen has high hopes for the coming season, with a goal to perform well at elite nationals in January. “Then we’ve got a big race programme through the winter and the summer

which will take us down south, up north.”Karen and the rest of her team don’t have to qualify for na-tionals, but the competition always draws a top field, with the top female racers in New Zealand present. This winter has been a tad qui-eter for Karen, as the past few colder months have been spent training and racing overseas.“This year it’s a bit quieter to stay here but it’s also really good to have quite time and prepare properly and now I’ve got a good team around me and good backing.”As she approaches 40, Karen says she hopes she still has a few years of racing left. “Peo-ple ask me all the time ‘when are you going to retire’. I’m not declining yet, I’m still improv-ing with everything. I’m re-ally lucky to have a supportive family and the opportunity to do a lot of training; you’ve got to follow your dreams.”Karen says her body will tell her when it’s time to leave the sport she loves, but at the mo-ment it’s good to keep moving.“I think females in particular, I think we seem to go really well when we’re a bit older. It’s when you’re still trying to be the best you can be, you’ve just got to keep working at it until you’re happy with it.”

The team will be racing hard this sum-mer and will then be involved in the Benchmark series, with the first of these races happening in Nelson in August. Karen and the team have goal to do well there. “It’s also good preparation leading into the summer racing.”The ladies are also looking at doing some Australian races and will be aim-ing to go to Perth in February.

ATHLETICS: Brendon Barnett hit the biggest jump of his life last week and is hugely con-fident heading in to the IAAF World Youth Athletics Championship tomorrow night.The Waimea College student furthered his New Zealand Mens17 long jump record with an incredible 7.31m at a hot meet in Evry, France late on Thursday.The distance will give the youngster plenty of confidence in his run up after finishing with three no jumps at the Aviva British under-20 champs in Bedford, England at the start of the tour and surpassing his own personal best by more than 10cm.When Brendon spoke to Waimea Weekly on the weekend he says “everything is going well” and the facilities at the team base in Reims, France, were amazing. “I’m in the form of my life. Woohoo!” he says.But Brendon Barnett suffered the realities of competition inconsistency at a young age at the Bauhaus Junior Gala in Mannheim, Ger-many on the weekend, according to his team coach Terry Lomax.His 6.35m jump failed to secure him a top eight finish and an extra three attempts.The World Championship starts in Lille, France on July 6 but Brendon is trucking along nicely a personal best at the prestigious competition would be job well done.

HOCKEY: Several Tasman hockey teams re-corded wins over the weekend including the Tasman division two women who came away with a 1-0 win over Nelson Girls College. The Tasman division three women were also able to come away with a win over Waimai 5-0. In men’s hockey, the Garin College division four team were able to beat NBS Stoke 1-0.

A Nelson under 15 and under 17 badminton team are looking forward to the national tour-nament, held in Palmerston North in the July school holidays. Coach Cassie Marwick says the teams, made up of several Richmond players including Rory

Weston, Melanie Westley and Josh McDonald-Davis, are looking forward to the competition and is expecting them to place “middle of the range” as the North Island teams usually put up a tough battle.

No wall too is high for London Paralympics hopefulFrances Dick missed out on the Paralympics in 2007 but she is currently doing everything she can to make sure she can make it next year.The Wakefield resident qualified for the Bei-jing Paralympics just over four years ago, but New Zealand didn’t send a para-equestrian team so Frances missed out.However, the determined 27 year-old is cur-rently in London trialing horses and compet-ing to try and represent her country at the 2011 Paralympics.Frances’ first para-equestrian dressage event was a Trans-Tasman team event in Palmerston North in 2001 and she hasn’t looked back since.Her first overseas experience was competing in Australia in 2004 and she will get the chance to go back later this year for another Paralympics qualifying round.Simply put, Frances has been trying to gain as much competing experience as she can to try and better her chances.But this month will be tough. Frances has to select and train a new horse and then get the right scores to qualify for the international event. “It’s quite intense for the first three weeks.”Frances will then return home and, fingers crossed, be heading back to London “for real” next year, when she will be going for gold.Enjoying her time in London this month is also high on the agenda. She will also get the chance to see where everyone else is in the world in terms of performance, but Frances says she has high expectations. “My expecta-tion is to qualify,” she says with a laugh. Being able to compete in front of internation-

al judges is also a highlight and being able to compete at Olympic level is the pinnacle of any sport according to Frances.Para-equestrian is still a relatively small sport in New Zealand, so overseas riding gives Frances the opportunity to interact with other riders. “There are only around 36 riders in to-tal in New Zealand, so it certainly is an emerg-ing sport.” The difference between the Paralympics and the Olympics is that it’s based on a physical challenge for the rider. “You have to be classi-fied by an international classifier if you want to compete overseas. A rider is graded into one of five grades. Grade one is if you’re a quadri-plegic, grade 2 is if you have a form of cerebral palsy, grade 3 can be if you’re blind, or if you’ve got MS, grade four is if you have a limb miss-ing.”Frances, who is a qualified grade two rider, says it all depends on a rider’s trunk control and co-ordination. “It’s not so much the ability of how you ride the horse, its more about what disadvantages you have.”By being able to compete internationally, de-spite having these disadvantages, is really im-portant to Frances. “It’s something that I can do and I can be on top of my game and strive to a dream that I’ve had since I was young.”Frances says she has “huge” backing from her mum, dad, nana and the rest of her family, along with local businesses and coach Rachel Thomas.But being in such an expensive sport isn’t easy, so if you can help Frances, or have any ideas for fundraising, get in touch. “It is hard to get funding because it’s not a mainstream sport.”Email Frances at [email protected].

Three Waimea Old Boys players have scored ITM Cup contracts with the Tasman Makos. Promising prop Sam Prattley and captain Ben Coman have been re-selected after being involved with the squad last year, while lock Riki Hoeata, brother of All Black hopeful Jarrad, is also selected after signing a contract last month.But there were many notable omissions from last year’s team with halfback Kaide Whiting missing out, Tasman selectors instead favouring Stoke’s Shaun Begg. Hamish Cochrane also missed out. Waimea backs James Lowe,

Phil Gibson and Andrew Letham also fell short in their bid for a provincial spot.TASMAN MAKOS 2011 ITM CUP SQUAD.FORWARDS:Sam Prattley, Waimea; Fai Mika Huia; Craig Moore, Nelson; James Hadfield, Nelson; Quentin MacDonald, Central; Francis Smith, Marist; Vernon Fredericks, Moutere; Pablo Huete, Loan – Canterbury; Joe Wheeler, Harlequins; Riki Hoeata, Waimea; Ben Coman, Waimea (place in squad subject to passing fitness test); Liam

Top of the table Waimea B’s buzzing ahead of home semiTo be the best you have to beat the best, and Waimea Old Boys division two side have the championship title within reach after qualifying top going in to this

week’s semi final clash with Murchison.Waimea defeated last year’s champions Marist, 20-10, at the Tahunanui playing fields on Saturday, a win

which has given the side plenty of confidence, according to coach Nick Marquet.Waimea finished equal on points with Marist at the round robin’s conclusion but the winner of the previous encounter decided both team’s fate, giving Waimea the overall lead. “As long as they didn’t get a bonus point on Saturday, which they didn’t, got us through in the end,” says Nick.Nick says they briefly spoke about the importance of the clash. “Obviously we had a home semi-final anyway, and provided we get that far, a home final would be very nice. If we don’t do the job this weekend then there’s no point in being number one.”Midfielder Paul Burt was the standout performer for the red and whites while Paddy Smith at full back and the whole forward pack excelled in a big team effort. Nick says the boys were “pretty stoked” to finish top of the table and to knock off the competition’s top side in the process, but still “kept a lid” on the result. Waimea defeated Murchison 10-5 in torrential rain earlier in the season. The match will be held at Jubilee Park this Saturday.The Waimea Old Boys women walked past Central 43-5 at Jubilee Park as they continue to chase Stoke leading up to the semi finals. Noela Magregor at number eight stood out in the win with her go-forward and very good defensive work.




Although Waimea College 10A never relinquished the lead in their Grade 3 game against Prices Pharmacy B, they did not have it all their own way. Waimea were in control in the first half – winning both quarters, 10 – 7 and 9 – 5.The well drilled Waimea team played good channels and their timing was spot on. Breanna Whiting and Lucy Ingham’s passing was slick to deliver some superb ball to shooters, Shaun Aindow and Courtney Zwart.While Courtney played a supportive role in the shooting circle it was Shaun who found her rhythm early to net 29 from 33, with a number from long range.Jesse Matthews appeared unassuming at wing defence, however she was a terrier to the loose ball, gained a number of deflections and pulled in three great intercepts.Although goal defender, Annie Eden gave away a height difference she was industrious in negating her opposite’s opportunities. Goal keep, Gracie Roberts put in a solid

game.Prices came out firing after the major break and fought hard to come within a solitary goal, however to their credit, the college team regained their composure to pull away and take the quarter 11 – 10. Waimea won the final period 8 – 7 to record a 38 – 29.Prices shooters, Jessie Hart and Rebecca Dudley were effective,

returning an 80% average, while Stacey Pyers was the pick of the defensive lineup.Richmond Wakatu B made every post a winning one when they met Stoke Richards Woodhouse in the Grade 2 game. Richmond had good flow through and

was always in control. The feeders were able to deliver pressure free ball to their shooters, Janelle Strickland and Melissa Marfell who were successful in netting 33 from 37.The 33 – 21 win to Richmond Wakatu enabled them to remain at the top of the table after being relegated from Grade 1 in the previous round.

10A regain composure to win

Snippets of HistoryNILE & VANGUARD STREETS

Early in 1942 a committee of young male settlers met several times to decide Nelson’s street names, especially those to celebrate Admiral Horatio Nel-son’s victories at sea. Those victories were crucial in freeing up British trade and immigration poli-cies for the next hundred years, so immigrants to New Zealand were well aware of their importance and Nelson’s leadership. In 1798 in his flagship, HMS Vanguard, inflicted a massive defeat on a French fleet in the Battle of the Nile. As a result he was created Baron Nelson of the Nile. He was given a pension of 2000 pounds a

year and a grateful East India Co. voted him a massive 10,000 pounds. Nile and Vanguard Streets commemorate that notable battle. To read more Snippets of History, purchase your copy of both volumes from Mars-den House for $15 each. Snippets of History are also available in a two-disc audio CD pack for $25 each. Proceeds from the sale of this book are do-nated to local Nelson charities.
