A free child restraint check for parents has uncovered a “horrific” lack of under-standing, with about 95 per cent of car seats incorrectly fitted, leaving children ex-posed in the event of a car crash.In June the Nelson Parents Centre, along with Baby on the Move, Plunket and Nel-son Police held two car seat safety checks at New World in Nelson and Stoke. The checks were held in con-junction with Parents Cen-tre Week.Over the two days 94 car seats were checked, with only six installed correctly and the right size for their child.Baby on the Move owner Craig Smith says he was shocked at the lack of un-derstanding.“It’s horrific, and it shows there is a lot of ignorance

about child restraints.”The reasons for the seats not complying included expired seats, children too heavy for the seats they were in, seats not strapped in tight enough and children front facing when they were too young to do so.Bev Melvern of Nelson Par-ents Centre says the solu-tion is about education and giving parents the right advice before they get into bad habits. “Parents want to have them fitted correctly so it is about solving that lack of knowledge around it. We don’t want to scare parents but the results from those checks were very surprising and definitely concerning.”As a result Bev says they will hold another check before Christmas and two each year after that.“It’s not something we have done before but this has

In a year dominated by rugby, the Nelson Arts Festival is promising an action packed 17 days of entertain-ment, away from the footy pitch.Festival director Sophie Kelly and her team are set to launch the festi-val this Friday night to sponsors and stakeholders with tickets to festival events on sale from Saturday.

She says the festival will, once again, be huge. “We are really fortunate to have some really big acts coming, some great music acts and a show that has been here before and was a sell out.”The full line up will be able to be viewed online from Friday night.The festival will once again kick off

with the Masked Parade on the last day of the school term in October, with the lighting of the digital dis-play on the Cathedral during the fol-lowing carnival.The display will be alight during the Rugby World Cup and is a first for the city says Sophie. “It will look amazing, the city will look great.”

TUESDAY 2 August 2011

Street Ambassadors will be back in Nelson this summer and if more local businesses follow the lead of NBS, they could be patrolling the streets even longer.

Last week NBS general manager Ken Beams handed over a cheque for $6000 to Nelson City mayor Aldo Miccio, to help keep the ambas-sadors going. Currently the ambassadors are

funded by the Ministry of Justice and the Canterbury Community Trust. But with a shortfall of $20,000, donations like that of NBS are essential says Aldo.The Street Ambassadors are men and women – experienced in youth work – patrolling the Nelson Central Business District during weekend nights from 10pm to 4am, over the spring and sum-mer. They help young people in the CBD and work with police, Nelson Community Patrol, bar staff and the Maori Wardens.Ken says donating to a community or-ganisation, like the ambassadors, is a good fit for the local building society.“The street ambassadors do a very good job and if you listen to police and eve-ryone else it is getting more and more difficult so if we can help then great. As a building society we see it as part of our responsibility to give back to the com-munity.”

highlighted a need, so we do plan on doing a lot more in the future. It’s something we need to get right.”Plunket’s Kylie Matthewson says par-ents need to get the right advice and the biggest problem is loose seats. Both Plunket and Baby on the Move offer a free child restraint checks for parents, even if the restraint wasn’t bought from them, says Craig. “We

are trained child restraint techni-cians so offer that service while we are open. Anyone can come down for a free check.”The date of the next check has not yet been confirmed. But if parents are worried they should pop down to Baby on the Move or Plunket to have their restraint checked. “We need to get the message out there and urge parents to get the check,” says Bev.

Nelsonians can expect a warmer-than-usual late winter and early spring, according to the latest sea-sonal climate outlook by NIWA.Temperatures in Nelson over the August-October period are equally likely to be near average or above av-erage. Rainfall totals and soil mois-ture levels are likely to be in the nor-

mal range, whereas river flows are likely to be either in the near normal or below normal ranges.While weaker westerlies are expect-ed over the country for the season as a whole, the month of August is ex-pected to be rather different, with a continuation of the recent disturbed south-westerly flow.

CELEBRATING THE SPUD: Steffan and Penny Menzies enjoy baked potatoes on Spud Monday in Nelson yesterday. The day recognises the hardship early settlers faced having to eat seed pota-toes when food was scarce. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Spud Monday makes a comebackThere were plenty of potatoes to go around in Nelson on Spud Monday – a far cry from the tough times that inspired the day.Spud Monday recognises the hardship Nelson’s early settlers faced when empty food stocks meant they were forced to dig up seed potatoes they had only recently planted just to survive in the city’s first years. Nelson residents were so in-spired by the story they dedicated a public holi-day to the spud eaters on the first Monday of Au-gust right up until the start of World War II.Fishing and shooting contests were the activities of choice, nothing remotely to do with potatoes, according to Nelson Provincial Museum chief executive Peter Millward. “The day doesn’t seem

to have anything to do with potatoes.”A walk up the Dun Mountain trail was also a tra-dition.But since the day was inspired by a lack of food for our forefathers, Peter decided it needed to be reinvented, this time with a strong emphasis on eating, in particular a potato. He approached Michelle Hansen, owner of The Original Baked Potatoes, to host the celebratory day at her stand on the corner of Trafalgar and Hardy St yesterday. Michelle and Peter made dozens of small baked potatoes at lunchtime, and the pair are hoping the day will be celebrated every year. “Because it’s quite wintery conditions in the beginning of Au-gust it would be quite fun,” says Peter.

Rock ‘n’ rollers score invite to UK, US festivals

TRAVELLING KATZ: Members of the Krazy Katz rock ‘n’ roll band have been invited to perform at two of the world’s biggest rockabilly festivals, in Britain and Las Vegas next year. They are from left; Christian Jessop, Johnny Jessop, Luke Connor and Gareth Jessop. Photo: Andrew Board.

Nelson’s own rockabilly band is heading for international fame and a few laughs along the way.Johnny Jessop, along with his two sons Gareth and Christian and drummer Luke Connor have been invited to the world’s two biggest rockabilly festivals, in Hemsby, England and Las

Vegas, United States.The Krazy Katz only formed two years ago and now have six original tracks. Johnny says it is a big honour to be invited to the festivals and they will be the only New Zealand band at both events. “It is pretty huge, we are hop-

ing to impress a few recording labels but whatever happens we will get a once in a lifetime ex-perience from it.”The Krazy Katz have also been lined up to play in several fes-tivals around the country this summer and regularly play at gigs around Nelson.

It’s drawn praise and accolades worldwide for several years, and now the Hyundai Santa Fe has been named the best mid-sized SUV by NZ4WD magazine. The leading publication, trusted as much by the off-road commu-nity as by city drivers, recognises Hyundai’s lead-ership of the New Zealand market. “Naturally we are delighted with this award from such a prestigious publication,” commented Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau. “People often think of the Santa Fe as a city vehicle, for families on the school run and Saturday sport, and we sometimes forget its prowess off-road. This is a timely reminder of what a well-equipped all-rounder the Santa Fe is.” Ever since it burst into the Kiwi consciousness

with its cute TV toddlers head-ing off to the beach, the Santa Fe has positioned itself over the years as New Zealand’s family wagon. It bristles with new-age technology. The Santa Fe’s new R-Series diesel engines provide

more power, torque and fuel efficiency, while the Theta-II petrol engine variants are truly world-class. The Santa Fe incorporates advanced safety features such as rollover sensors and, timely in New Zealand right now, a rear-view camera. “We’re certainly excited to have the Santa Fe here in New Zealand over the last few years, to show the kiwi motoring public just how versatile and economic this model really is and also to dem-onstrate that it is one of the cleanest and greenest diesel vehicles available on the market.”

Santa Fe best in field, says NZ4WDAdvertorial

Volunteer a winner in so many waysNEWS IN BRIEF

BUSY LADY: Aleisha Hart has won tickets to the 2011 Rugby World Cup final after being named one of the country’s “unsung rugby heroes”. She is also a volunteer firefighter, volunteer St John paramedic and a mum. Photo: Andrew Board.

• Nelson City councillors will face ques-tions from residents and business own-ers of Tahunanui this Thursday night. Amongst the key points to be discussed are traffic volume and heavy vehicles trav-elling through the suburb, safe crossing along Tahunanui Dr, future development, access and parking around the shopping area and infilling on sections. The meet-ing is being held this Thursday, 4 August at the Muritai Centre, Tahunanui School from 6.30pm. All are invited to attend.

• The Game On festival is officially being launched at Nelson City Council tonight. The festival, featuring 30 events during the Rugby World Cup, is also a part of the REAL NZ national festival.

• Drinkers in Nelson and Tasman are warned that bad behaviour could now result in a three month ban from pur-chasing alcohol from supermarkets and bottle stores as well as hotels and taverns throughout the region. The initiative, by the Nelson Tasman Off Licence Alcohol Accord, involves more than 50 on and off licence premises.

• Nelson’s Mitre 10 Mega store won the award for Mega Store of the Year at the company’s awards dinner last week. With 98 Mitre 10 and Mitre 10 Mega stores throughout the country, the award judges picked out Nelson’s store for the work it does in servicing trade and retail custom-ers in the city.

They say volunteering pays off, for Aleisha Hart it has big time.The St John volunteer, vol-unteer firefighter, rugby club manager and mum has won a national competition to at-tend the Rugby World Cup final in Auckland.Aleisha, the secretary and treasurer of the Waimea Old Boys rugby club, takes care of the day-to-day running of the club, as well as looking after its gym, the bar and the kitch-en. She is also responsible for organising the touch rugby module in the summer, all of which she does as a volunteer. But it isn’t just off-field where Aleisha excels, she also plays fullback for the club’s wom-an’s team, which won the club championship on Saturday, in fact it was Aleisha who scored the winning try on fulltime to secure the win over Stoke.In her spare time she is a qualified emergency medical technician with St John and a volunteer firefighter at the Richmond fire brigade, she also has a six year old daugh-ter, Paris, and works as a pro-motions coordinator.Aleisha says she was given the shock of her life last week when she answered her door

to find former All Black Josh Kronfeld. “I was blown away, it was amazing, I thought because of my work it was a courier at the door but when I opened it and saw Josh Kro-nfeld I couldn’t believe it.”Josh was there as part of a promotion by Coca Cola to find the country’s “unsung heroes”, people in the com-munity making an outstand-ing contribution to New Zea-land rugby.Four winners, including Aleisha were selected from nominees by a panel of judges which included representa-tives from Coca Cola Oceania and Media Works. Winners will be aired on TV3 and will win tickets to the final, flights and accommodation.Aleisha was nominated by Kurt Patterson, who works at the club’s bar with her and who says she does an “awe-some job”. “She likes to help people and has a passion for the club which has taken over her life.”Aleisha plans to take Kurt with her to the final as a thank you, “If he hadn’t nominated me I wouldn’t be going.“I love rugby and to be going to the World Cup is fantastic surprise, I can’t wait.”

Dave Duncan, Harbour Master/Marine Operations Manager.

• Five container vessels, including the Tas-man Star, here for the first time, kept the ste-vedores busy. A busy week also for the fish-ing vessels with over 14 movements in, out of, or around the port.• The navy ship HMNZS Pukaki departed for work offshore and a barge from Timaru called in for some maintenance and repairs.• Speaking of maintenance the Harbour Master patrol craft was launched again after some paint maintenance and general vessel servicing. With a new trailer the HM craft is ready to go anywhere required to assist in search and rescue if necessary.• Speaking of search and rescue and I hope you never need their services, have you en-sured your EPIRB contacts registered with RCC are up to date. It may be embarrassing or worse if the contacts are not correct and someone you would rather not know, finds out you need rescuing.• A trip report is always great insurance – remember – tell someone who cares where you are going, how many of you there are, and when you will be back. If things change update your contact along the way.

See you on the water and if in doubt- don’t go out.

Fashion Island was home to a massive chain-gang of fettuccini makers last week as organisers of the Nelson Farmers Market enlist-ed the help of shoppers and chil-dren on school holidays to help hold the 52 metre piece of pasta. The promotion was to show peo-ple how easy and cheap it is to make your own pasta, as opposed

to packet pasta from a supermar-ket. Vincenzo Di Luca, of the Ital-ian Kitchen, was making the pasta and handed it out to the children that helped hold it. He says mak-ing and eating fresh pasta is sim-ple, fun and cheap. “With just a few eggs and some flour you have beautiful pasta, fresh and you’ve made it yourself.”

Outstanding response to awardsLocals have once again got behind their volunteers with 109 nomina-tions received for the TrustPower Nelson Tasman Community Awards.Nominations for the Awards closed on Friday 15 July. The TrustPower Nelson Tasman Community Awards which recognise and reward volunteers for the out-standing contribution they make to the local community are run in con-junction with the Nelson City and Tasman District Council.TrustPower Community Relations Representative Suzi Luff says she is excited that so many generous and

hard working community groups will be celebrated through this year’s awards. “The Community Awards are all about recognising the hard work of groups who are the community’s un-sung heroes. They work tirelessly and give so much for the benefit of those who live in the Nelson Tasman re-gions.“Through the TrustPower Commu-nity Awards we will celebrate and honour these volunteers and their hard work. A big ‘thanks’ must go to the people who nominated these wonderful groups,” says Suzi.

Nicole Andrews, middle, was Porse educator of the month and received a brand new bike for her efforts. With her are daughter Zariyah, 5, Porse consultant Michelle Collier, tutor Janelle Walker and daughter Shylah, 3.


It was a shaky start at the AA for Ken Mor-ris. The 22 year-old was told by his dad that he was making a big mistake giving up his job as a mechanic to move to the AA, and on the first morning of work, his boss told him to get out of the car and go searching for a piece of cellophane he threw out the window.But 43 years on, Ken says there is not one thing he would change about his career at the AA, after he retired last Wednesday.“I’ve been lucky; I’ve had a job I loved for my entire working life.”Ken was farewelled from the Nelson AA with a party last Wednesday and says he still can’t quite believe it is all over.“I’m sitting here looking at the clock think-ing, ‘oh, almost 3 o’clock I better get ready for work’.”But instead Ken has time to reflect on what was often a hectic career. He started in 1958 and his job covered breakdowns, put-ting up road signs and vehicle inspection over a large chunk of the top of the south, including as far down as Springs Junction and across to the West Coast.Back in those days, with no cell phones and less reliable cars, the AA would go looking for breakdowns and Ken recalls spending Boxing Day each year towing people up both sides of the Whangamoa’s and letting them coast down the other side.“We were flat out; everyone would try to come over to Nelson or go to the Sounds

and would be towing great big caravans and their cars couldn’t make it up the hill. As we were towing one person up we would come across another on the side of the road and we would yell out ‘we’re coming back’.”Ken’s wife Diane was also a big part of Ken’s job. In the early days if someone had a break down af-ter hours they would search AA in the phone book and Ken’s home phone number was listed, so he was on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.“I lost count of the number of times we were off somewhere as a family and I’d get a call to go do a job. I would always go, which didn’t always please my wife.”Ken says he would have helped “hundreds upon hundreds” of lo-cal drivers over the years and it was something he always liked.“I really enjoyed my job because every day and every job was dif-ferent, no two were the same. That was always a big appeal to me be-cause I didn’t get bored.”He says, due to his longevity, he has res-cued the same person, often decades apart. “The older ones still called me laddie, even recently, which I found funny because I was getting ready to retire.”In 1988 Ken’s boss, since his first day, Den-nis King, retired and Ken took his job be-fore moving to team leader of the break-

down team in the late 90’s. He was in that role until last Wednesday and says the job has changed a lot over the years with lap-tops and cell phones given to all drivers, but what remains consistent is a desire to help. “To be in this job, you must want to help. I’ve had to be a psychiatrist as well as a breakdown man. Often you have people

who are stranded and with kiddies in the car and they can’t really afford to have their car fixed, so it can be tough dealing with that. But it helps that I’m quite sociable and like a chat,” he jokes.Ken says he is looking forward to getting back into music, fixing cars, gardening and relaxing in his retirement.

We all know real estate can be a tough business, with agents coming and going, but Mitchell Wilson has gone from Harcourts Rookie of the Year to salesman extraordinaire. This has come about not only from his professionalism, motivation and integrity, but also his passion for both people and property. With millions of dollars worth of property sold now under his belt, he prides himself on his reputation which is second to none. His main aim is to keep the process as simple and successful as possible for his vendors. To add to his expertise, Mitchell is now also one of Harcourts auctioneers. He just loves the excitement of an auction, especially when the expectations of his vendors are blown away with a superior result. There are a lot of people who think about selling but are not sure if it’s a good time for them or not, or even what they may expect to sell for. Now is a great time to sell says Mitchell. “There is a lack of listings on the market at the moment making demand high. With less competition out there I can help sell the property in less time and at a better price.” A great place to start is to call Mitchell for a property appraisal and obligation free chat.

Terra Firma is latin for solid ground and that’s what Chris Gillman loves to work with. Chris started his gardening business 12 years ago and says his success is due to the fact that he treats his customers gardens as if they were his own. “I don’t do a cosmetic job, it’s important to go under the ground to ensure the job is done right first time.” Chris also has a great knowledge of plants and can tell if a plant is unhealthy. He will consult with the owner about what to do with it, as one unhealthy plant can bring down the look of an entire garden. Chris’ customers range from elderly, to business people who just don’t have the time to maintain their property, but want to enjoy a nice garden. “I first got into gardening for enjoyment. I find it very satisfying effecting positive changes, and I feel lucky that I can make a living doing what I love.” He says some people are surprised at the results and didn’t realise their garden could look so good, or spacious, and this change can happen quickly. “I listen to what you want and will do my best to make it happen.” Chris can also offer total property maintenance so call him today.

Carl Gould has been a busy man since taking over as owner of Super Liquor Tahunanui earlier this year - in fact he has been too busy. So Carl has now employed a new manager and he went straight for the best. Trevor Pugh has been working in liquor stores around the country for the past 36 years and says he is excited about his new role at Super Liquor. Trevor knows his stuff when it comes to alcohol but says what he most enjoys about the industry is the customers, “I really enjoy this kind of work, it’s a great industry to be in, the people are friendly and getting to know your customers is an exciting part of it and a very important part of it.” Super Liquor stocks a huge range of beer, wine and spirits and can arrange all your alcohol for your next big party or event. They will even deliver to your event for free and if you don’t use it all it can be returned meaning you only pay for what you use. Carl says Super Liquor has built up a huge customer base and he puts that down to providing good stock at great prices and getting to know the people. “People in Tahuna are great; we are getting to know the regulars by name and it’s nice catching up with them.” So pop in and see Carl or Trevor, they will be sure to greet you with a friendly face and a sharp price. To see this week’s Super Liquor specials turn to page 7.

Which is why we do things differently. We tailor our care services to meet the requirements of an individual and we do so in a way that helps them stay independent for longer. It’s an approach that makes perfect sense to us and a world of difference to you.

Why chose the Metlifecare way of doing things?

FOOTBALL: AMI Nelson Suburbs missed a golden opportunity to get back in the title hunt as both themselves and league leaders Ferrymead Bays went down on the weekend. Suburbs, who were without the departing Adam Smith, lost 2-1 to Haslwell and now sit eight points behind Ferrymead with only three rounds left in the Robbie’s Premier League.

BASKETBALL: Nayland College junior bas-ketball team are South Island champions af-ter seeing off Otago Boys’ High School 71-62 in the grand final. Nayland defeated rivals Waimea College 62-51 in the semi-final.

TRAIL RUNNING: Nelson Striders invite runners and walkers to join them at the OK Corral at 8am this Sunday for the second of their Subway Dun Run training sessions. Al-ready over 50 participants are confirmed for the October 15 event.

The Premier grade played a double round this week with Jacks OPD ac-counting for Stoke NBS 69-50 on Thurs-day. The remaining two games were deferred to Saturday on account of Nelson un-der-17 representative commitments. After being promoted to the elite grade, Wanderers Taylors A received a baptism of fire at the hands of Richmond Wakatu 75-33.Prices Pharmacy had the better start

when they met Waimea College, with shooters Ani Waitai and Leigh Wiremu finding their rhythm early they went out to 15-10 lead at the first break. The second period was more even, with Prices having a slight 11-10 advantage.As it is frequently talked about the third quarter being the cham-pionship quarter Waimea hammered a home a 19-10 period. The green team moved up a gear after the major break

as Prices looked to have lost their momentum. Waimea had an abundance of pos-session, with 30 attempts at goal while Prices were restricted to a miserly 14. Although Prices made a few on-slaughts in the final quarter, the college team held their composure to take the game 50-44, and deny Prices a bonus point.Prices were well served by defend-er Kirsty Thompson – she pulled in a number of well timed inter-cepts, had presence through court and delivered some great long range feeds to her shooters.It was an extremely high scoring game in the Richmond Wakatu and Stoke NBS encounter. Al-though coming out on the wrong side of the ledger, Stoke NBS played a great team game in the 58-70 loss.Richmond won the first two quar-ters by a solitary goal, however they had the better third quarter 18-11.Stoke NBS attacking line up had their best game to date – shooters

Steph Bothwell and Abbie Cook wore their ‘shooting boots’ with Abbie con-verting a number of long range shots.

The young guns in the mid court Christta Burrows and Michaela Matenga were confident of let-ting the ball go and fed intelli-gently.The defensive combo of Aleisha

Cederman, Jemma Taikato and Emily Stalker toiled to combat Richmond’s of-fense and fought to gain any scrap ball.Jacks OPD defeated Waimea College 52-39, while Prices Pharmacy accounted for Wanderers Taylors 63-36.

Whatever happens on Saturday, it will be darn close. Nelson College first XV escaped with a 13-10 victory the last time they faced Christch-urch Boys’ High School but coach Bill Liddell says the result could have gone either way and will be taking no chances ahead of this week-end’s hugely anticapated Press Cup semi-final. “I’m very apprehensive about the challenge in front of us,” says Bill. “We have to approach it in the right manner otherwise we’ll come sec-ond. It will be a very, very tight game. This re-sult could take 70 minutes to win quite frankly.” Nelson will be bouyed by the return of three of its star players who were involved in the South Is-land Secondary Schools team during the holidays - captain Mitchell Drummond, Steven Soper and

Tyler Kearns. Bill says all three returned to train-ing with added “enthusiasm.”Mitch Hunt, in his debut season, will don the number ten jersey again this week and has im-pressed his coach since shifting in to the play-maker role from his more accustomed fullback position. “We tried other combinations but he’s very gifted, he kicks off both feet, he’s got very good scanning skills, he’s got a great pass, he’s very courageous, he tackles well for a small man, he’s got all the attributes that would suggest he could go a long way.” Mitch will be marking former Nelson College prodigy Fletcher Smith, one of the real danger men in the away team’s balanced line-up.The match kicks off at 12noon at Nelson College.

College coach cautious ahead of semi

It took Ian Kaine 17 years to hit that dream hole-in-one. Then the keen golfer watched as just months later his wife did it after only taking up the sport in Febru-ary. Ian and Helen Kaine are both members of the Greenacres Club in Richmond. Ian began playing when he was twenty, but gave it up for several years before taking it up again about 17 years ago.Helen on the other hand may be regarded by many ardent players as something of a novice and new to the game, only picking up a club and taking it seriously this year.“All I heard was talk of golf and after several years of listening to conver-sations about the game I decided I may as well play myself, so I joined the club earlier this year and now I love it, it is a game of skill,” she says.When Ian achieved what most play-ers’ dream of, a hole in one, Helen was as proud of his achievement as he was.“I was on the course at the time and

saw him do it, it was wonderful, re-ally exciting.”However, no one could have guessed that only a few months lat-er Helen too would be celebrating her very own ‘hole in one’ on the very same green.Helen says she didn’t even realise she had done it when last week her ball disappeared from sight. Ian who had been on the course that day saw her shot and soon realised what had happened. “I went over to have a look, I felt sure it had gone in. Meanwhile I could see Helen looking around trying to find it. Sure enough when I looked in the hole there it was.”Helen says she has been told what they’ve achieved is quite unusual and that they are the first couple at Greenacre’s to both get a hole in one.Perhaps what is more amazing and unusual is that Helen has managed, within a few months of playing, what her husband and others have spent years trying to achieve.

A pair of perfect shots for couple

It’s not often you see a Government Minister for the Environment en-dorsing any form of motorsport and even more intriguing when that minister is also the Minister of ACC.The Honourable Dr Nick Smith however, has good reason to smile about the relationship with this group.Local Nelson-based NonStop Ad-venture NZ trials group, amongst other things, trains motorcyclists of all ages and abilities to be better off-road riders and therefore reduc-ing the likelihood of injury. They also run the annual NZ Ihatove (Dreamland) Adventure Trial mo-torcycle event, a sister event to the highly successful Japanese Ihatove Trial, the largest trial of its kind in the world, having been run annu-ally there since 1977. This professional friendly, fun ride, which attracts international riders to Nelson every February, is aiming to now promote the introduction of an electric motorcycle to the sport. NonStop has informed Nick Smith that the Japanese and New Zealand events hope to be two of the first events to have an electric machine included.Whilst electric trials motorcycles are still relatively new it’s an area that is expected to develop as time

goes on and technology improves.Trials Motorcycling, which is ridden at low speeds over challenging ter-rain, both natural and man-made, is already one of the most environ-mentally friendly motorsports due to the very low noise output; use of land that is not normally suitable for grazing or cropping; minimal fuel usage and therefore limited car-bon emissions (a typical trials bike has a 2 litre fuel tank which on most occasions lasts the full event). Bikes need instant torque to climb obstacles and that is one of the characteristics of electric engines. A few of these machines have already been developed and this trend is ex-pected to grow.Motorcycle trials is also one of the least expensive motorsports to ac-cess. For the majority of riders the biggest portion of success depends on the ability of the rider rather than the machine or the size of your wallet.NonStop Adventure trials group say they very much welcome the min-ister’s endorsement and support as they work hard to grow this form of motorcycle sport and the safety of motorcyclists throughout New Zea-land, while promoting the enjoy-ment that it has to offer, rather than the fierce competitiveness of racing disciplines.

Weightlifters dominate SI champsWeightlifting is making a strong ressurgance in the Nelson region with four of the region’s top athletes all finishing inside the top two at the South Island Olympic Weightlifting Champion-ship in Christchurch last week. Jason Hylkema, who coaches a trio of Nelson College students along with Glenn Stewart, finished first place overall in the senior under-94kg class while Jas-per Irvine, 16, finished second in the under-94 junior division, Christian Jessop, 16, finished second in the under-85kg junior division and Grant Lawrence, 17, finished second in the under-58kg junior division. Glenn says all four

weighlifters are “way ahead of where anyone in Nelson has been.”Jasper and Christian both qualified for the na-tional championship on August 20 and im-pressed former Commonwealth Games bronze medalist Terry Hughes who is keen to take the pair in a New Zealand Secondary Schools squad to Australia.The trio of Nelson College students will be the first on the school’s history to earn colours for weightlifting.Visit Results!

NEW WORLDSTOKE

Heartbreak for Stoke women as last second try rips title from graspA try in the final minutes looked to have sealed the championship for Stoke Women, until it was cancelled out by a lasp gasp effort from Waimea Old Boys’ fullback Aleisha Hart just moments later.It was a match truly worthy of finals status - the reigning champions against the minor pre-miers. Stoke and Waimea have had some epic battles over past seasons and this was no exception with momentum swinging both ways through-out. Waimea started strongly and seemed to have the measure of Stoke in the first half, denying them possession and territory which paid divi-dends in the form of a 13-0 lead at the break.Whatever coaches Willie Fletcher and Jason Hulena said to their charges in the halftime huddle seemed to have the desired effect, and Stoke swung into action immediately. The forwards started to work consistently at the breakdown and provide their backs with some much needed go-forward ball. The ben-efactor on this occasion was surprise package Stephy Omundsen who hit the ball at pace out wide after some quick handling through the backline to dot down in the corner.This was just the pick-me-up Stoke needed, and they didn’t relent, with halfback and cap-tain Angela Cotton running 30 metres to score

again after a cheeky dart from the base of a ruck. The conversion was duly slotted to close the gap to a single point, which sent the Stoke supporters into a frenzy. The Stoke onslaught seemed to frustrate Waimea who started to offend at the break-down, subsequently losing three players to the sin bin. Stoke continued to fight hard, hoping to capi-talize on their opponents indiscretions, and it was none other than an inspirational Angela who again sniped around the base of her for-wards to scurry away for Stoke’s third try.On occasions like this, time seems to stand still for Stoke, although it probably had the oppo-site affect for Waimea, and with the Stoke girls clinging to a slender 17-13 lead, the home sup-porters were literally counting down the final nerve-racking seconds. But Waimea weren’t giving up and were now back to a full 15 and hot on attack inside the Stoke 22. Stoke worked hard to organise their goal line defence but were eventually caught short down the blind side when Waimea’s full-back Aleisha Hart crossed right on fulltime to deny Stoke the victory.The team wishes to thank everyone for their support this year, particularly their coaches and sponsors, and also those familiar faces on the sideline every week. Bring on next season!

Reds suffer tough loss as finals loomTahunanui Super Liquor Stoke Reds succumbed to a fired up Motueka United side 31-5 at Greenmeadows on Saturday.Both sides played an entertain-ing brand of free flowing footy well reffed by John Hippolite.Players of the day were Steve Epiha for a solid stint at prop and Ste-ve Whakatihi at first five.Stoke’s next game sees the side host Marist at Greenmeadows. Co-coach Tony Smith says, “improvements are imperative” if the side wants to en-tertain playoff thoughts.
