Fight night a knockout successWhen the power went out for ten minutes at Saxton Stadium on Saturday night, Fight 4 Vic-tory organiser Paul Hampton said he wasnt nervous, I was numb.After months of planning and preparing it was the one thing he and the other organisers hadnt fretted over. Fortunately the hiccup, just as the event was due to start, was the only downside in another stunning night for the Victory Boxing Charitable Trust.Fight 4 Victory 2 earned much more than the original event, which helped kickstart the trust with $50,000. There was better boxing too, accord-ing to Paul and the judges. Its so much better than last year, theyre just so, so good, said judge Bernie Pope on the night.The success also flowed out of the ring and into the tables and stands, where a capacity crowd supported the 20 local boxers every step of the way.Paul says the crowd was amaz-ing. The atmosphere made

it special, really special. The feedback weve had has been outstanding. It was a stunning night.In the ring, the red corner took the spoils, winning seven of the ten bouts, but a whopping seven fights ended in split de-cisions from the judges, show-ing just how close most of the fights were.Paul says the spirit amongst the fighters was another highlight. Its really special that theres these two groups of people who really came together and theres some real friendships that have come out of it.The finale of the night came down to a slugfest between two sergeants, police officer Stef-fan James and Justin Carter of the army. Steffan, who lives in Richmond, says having his son and parents watching made the night even more special. That was huge, my boy and my mum and dad there was the driving factor of me doing something

The live grenade that was detonated by an army bomb disposal team after being found at a greenwaste recycling centre in Richmond on Sunday did not have a pin and could have ex-ploded at any time.Nelson police called in the bomb disposal squad from Christchurch after a rusty hand grenade was found by a staff member at Green Waste to Zero on Cargill Place at about 1pm. Police cordoned the area off until the bomb squad arrived and deto-nated the grenade at 9.20pm.An army spokesperson confirmed that the safety pin had rusted out and the grenade could have exploded at anytime. The only thing holding the striker lever in place and preventing the gre-nade exploding was rust and dirt.It was a dangerous situa-tion and potentially it could have gone off, the spokesperson says.It could have caused injury to anyone within 15 to 20m. The recycling centres owner Patrica Murrow says the grenade was found on land that had been used as a dump site before they established their business. Theres always rubbish coming to the surface here so I assume thats what happened with the grenade, Patricia says. When I went and had a look at it, it was obvious it was real and didnt have a pin so I called the police - they were here in no time.Richmond residents said the blast could be

heard throughout the town. So thats what that noise I heard was, a frigging bomb going off. Yikes, wrote Beverley Midema on the Waimea Weekly Facebook page.Police say that all military ordnance should be treated as live and very dangerous. Anyone who locates any old bombs or muni-tions should not touch them and should call 111 immediately.

The crowds keep coming to the annual Mapua Easter Fair with around 20,000 people enjoying the warm weather and a wide variety of stalls and entertain-ment at the Mapua Domain on Sunday.Now considered one of the larg-est school fairs in New Zealand, the event is operated by the Ma-pua Easter Fair Charitable Trust which raises funds for Mapua School and Mapua Playcen-tre. Organisers, Jackie Hall and Anna Treder, have been working on the event since January and were very happy with the large turn-out. The weather has been lovely and stall holders are doing a

great trade today, everything has flowed really well, says Anna. Its always been really popular and I think a lot of that is to do with the fact that its on Easter Sunday when theres not too much else to do.Anna says the fair raised be-tween $35,000 and $40,000.While the kids enjoyed the rides, adults enjoyed the shopping with over 300 stalls selling arts, hand-made crafts, furniture, clothing and food.Stallholder Lorraine Luck-man, from Serious Straws, says

sales had been strong with a steady stream of people coming through. There are a lot more people than in previous years and sales have been good, every-one wants to buy a hat when it is sunny, says Lorraine. The stage was full of talent, with performances by Mapua School children and entertainers from around the district. There was a variety of food on offer with 40 food stalls.The usual fair attractions, the laughing clowns, swinging chairs, giant slides and Ferris wheel, were all popular. The chil-drens corner featured face paint-ing, treasure hunts and space for creativity.

Amateur astronomer Ralph Bradleys plans to establish a dark sky area and observato-ries at Wai-iti are another step closer after the proposal received an enthusiastic re-sponse from Tasman district councillors.Ralph lives near the Wai-iti Recreation Re-serve and approached council about set-ting up an observatory on his land. A key part of the proposal involves designating the council-owned reserve and adjacent Tunnicliff Forest as an International Dark Sky areas so that the observatory is not compromised by light pollution.Ralph says he purchased the property in Wai-iti because the quality of the dark sky was suitable for setting up the observato-

ries which he plans to open to the public. He says he has already had preliminary discussions with the International Dark Sky Association, which is responsible for designating of dark sky areas. It would be an awesome asset for the whole community, being so close to town, Ralph says. I would like to have groups of visitors and school children come out and have a look through the telescopes at things they have never seen before, like the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter and the craters on the moon. Councillor Michael Higgins says he sup-ports the plans which he considers could be a big attraction for Wai-iti. Michael says

the proposal is do-able because there is no lighting in the reserve or forest and no long-term plans to install lighting.Its an interesting idea. I know, from living away from any lights, that the night sky is a stunner, so Im delighted to support the proposal.However, Michael says forestry contrac-tors working at night could be an issue with the Dark Sky designation. A Dark Sky area is defined as a park or land possessing

an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights that is specifically protected for its scientific and educational values as well as public enjoyment.I know, when they are harvesting, they have contractors working through the night. The place gets lit up like a Christmas tree so that could be a conflict.Council reserves and facilities manager, Beryl Wilkes, says the proposed dark sky area and observatories could be valuable to the reserve and forest and wider commu-nity. The council voted to support the pro-posal and for staff to commence negotia-tions with Ralph regarding the provisions of the designation.

CAR CRASH: A car smashed into a street light on Wakefield Quay last Tuesday after the driv-er tried to swat a spider off her arm. The car, a white 1997 Misubishi Lancer Saloon, was head-ing towards Tahunanui from Nelson when it collided with the lamppost outside Latitude 41 apartments.

ARSON ATTEMPT: Petrol was deliberately tipped throughout a Nelson restaurant and then set on fire in an attempt to burn the building down, according to Waimea Weekly sources. Fire crews from Nelson attended the attempt-ed arson at Hanger 58 last Monday at around 2.30am. The fire was believed to have started in the bathroom and the police said at the time that it was suspicious.

RICHMOND GIRL GIVEN ALCOHOL: A Wakefield man was charged after supplying al-cohol to a 14 year old girl in Richmond. The girl was found with a quantity of alcohol in Wash-bourn Gardens on the night of the Last of the Harvest Fare event on March 21 and told police she had given money to an 18 year old man who had then purchased the alcohol for her.

A group of super grandmothers is mentoring the next generation of mums around Nelson, teaching them basic homemaking skills to help look after their families.The Super Gran programme, which is funded by the Minis-try of Social Development, is a free service open to anyone who wants to learn the basics of home management and life skills. It has been run by the Te Korowai Trust in Nelson and co-ordinator Betty Soane says it has produced some very positive results."When these women learn new skills it gives them self-esteem and that passes down through the family," Betty says. "We've had 39 referrals to the programme in the last seven months and, with their partners and children, that equates to 116 people who are benefiting."Betty says the trust has a team of seven Super Grans who go into the homes and provide one-on-one mentoring for their clients. Super Grans Moya Anderson, Christine Grieder and Kiri Self, who is also a staff member, say they help with a wide range of skills including practical cook-ing, budgeting, menu-planning, shopping on a budget, managing

the home and establishing house-hold routines. "We show these mums all the stuff we take for granted," Moya, a retired Plunket Nurse says. "It's no fault of their own that they don't have these skills - it's just a reflection on so-ciety."Super Grans work with a client for three to 12 months and Betty, Christine and Moya all say it can be extremely rewarding for both parties. The mums learn impor-tant skills and improve their self-esteem, while Super Grans gain

satisfaction from helping people in their community."I enjoy being part of other peo-ple's lives and helping them out," Christine says. "The family I have now is amazing - I'll teach her something and then say what do you want to learn next and she's really happy."Although there is a big differ-ence in age and sometimes in values between Super Grans and their clients, Moya says the young mothers always appreciate the help. "I had one client who told

me 'we thought you were a bit old-fashioned, but now we love what you tell us'. Those sorts of comments really make it worth-while being a Super Gran."Betty says the best thing about being a Super Gran is meeting a former client two or three years later and seeing the difference it has made to their lives. "It's really rewarding when you come across some of the mums you have mentored and see them doing well. I see a lot of them in the supermarket, you look at

what's in their trolley and it's very different from what they would have had in there before."And their kids will come run-ning up to you and say hello. You are a big part of their family for a while and they don't forget." However, Betty stresses that Su-per Grans do not provide a ba-bysitting service and that clients have to be prepared to help them-selves.She says the majority of their Su-per Gran clients are referred to the programme through social agencies like Work and Income New Zealand, although self-re-ferrals are considered. The scheme is available "across all cultures" in Nelson and Rich-mond. Betty says the trust's staff also work with a new client for the first few weeks to assess their requirements, before matching them up with a suitable Super Gran. All volunteers are "vetted" by police before they can become a Super Gran.The trust also runs workshops un-der the Super Gran scheme and is planning one on home safety and first aid for next month. Betty says anyone interested in getting help from a Super Gran, or joining the Super Gran team, can phone her on 0274144960.

The neighbours in the street all took photos. I saw the woman get back in her car, a local woman in about her 70s.Comments on nelsonlive.co.nz ranged from disbelief to concern.Garry Nevin wrote: I am sure that is the car parked strangely on Bridge St the other day. Must be a hobby of hers.Some questioned how the driver has a licence and whether she should be on the road while others praised her for parking within the lines.

A Richmond business owner has been overwhelmed by the response from the local community to an advertisement asking people to donate knitted poppies for this years Anzac Day service.When Val Anisy, owner of Anisys Tas-man Funeral Homes, put a sign outside her business asking for people to donate poppies for the Richmond service, she expected to receive a few but has been inundated with over 1500 poppies do-nated so far. From that one sign, peo-ple have handmade and delivered the poppies to us, they walk past our build-ing, see the display and take patterns and then return with poppies. Some have even been left on the doorstep, Maria Fearn has done 140 and teach-ers from Richmond School have made some and a friend from Canada made felt poppies when she visited. We even have people who cant knit or crochet who have volunteered their time to sew or pin the poppies onto the old Army blankets, says Val.Val has made two blankets using the bright red poppies and old army blan-kets, one will be donated to the Rich-mond Memorial Hall for a permanent display and the other will be on display at the Anzac Day service. Individual poppies will be available to purchase from the display at the service for a gold coin donation with all proceeds going to the New Zealand RSA.

One of the poppies features a button from an original World War One Turk-ish soldiers uniform from Gallipoli. It was donated by Wayne Peters who was visiting his late wifes family in Rich-mond and saw the sign and thought the button would be of interest.Val, who is an ex-officer in the New Zealand Cadet Forces, has a strong in-terest in World War One and has also created an Anzac Day display at the funeral home which is located beside Richmond Memorial Gardens. The display of World War One memora-bilia includes an original field service pocket book from 1914 and examples of trench art soldiers made while over-

seas. Last year, Val provided morning tea following the Anzac Day services and went through 20 dozen packets of Anzac biscuits. This year, local busi-nesses, Pomeroys Coffee & Tea Co and Wooden Spoon Caf have donated cof-fee, tea and biscuits and Sport Tasman will provide serving staff for the day. The morning tea, organized by Rich-mond Unlimited and Tasman Funeral Homes, will be held outside the War Memorial Hall in Cambridge St, Rich-mond on Saturday April 25. It will follow the Richmond Anzac Day ser-vice which starts at Sundial Square at 10.45am with the service at Richmond War Memorial Gardens at 11am.

The Easter Bunny has delivered 1200 chocolate Easter eggs to the Richmond Mall for a childrens competition but mall manager Belinda de Clercq is worried that might not be enough.The Richmond Mall Easter Egg Hunt started last Saturday when children 10 years and younger started handing in entry forms to the malls information desk. All they needed to do was match the number of 10 giant eggs with the participating retailer displaying

that egg to win a chocolate Easter egg.Belinda says there was a lot of inter-est in the competition even before it started on Saturday. Details had been posted on the malls website and Facebook page last week re-sulting in an Easter egg hunt frenzy.We bought 1200 but going by the interest that might not be enough, Belinda says.The competition finishes this Sun-day. Entry forms are available at the information desk.

A group of Nelson men aiming to set a new speed record in Bonneville have gained sup-port from Mini New Zealand.In August this year, the group of Nelson mo-toring enthusiasts will attempt to set a new land speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats. The team, campaigning under the name Pro-ject 64, set the current land speed record of 236km/h for their class of Mini Cooper S in 2012. This year they are returning to the Salt with the goal of beating their own record and reach 280km/h.The Project 64 team, the name a nod to the year of manufacture of the Mini, as well as the New Zealand country calling code, will aim to set the record during a week of timed runs on the legendary salt flats at Bonneville Speed Week. By also running on Methanol and making changes to the car during the week to fit other classes, they will attempt to break three other records. Bonneville has seen some Kiwi leg-ends perform on the world stage in years gone by and wed love to emulate the success of these iconic characters, said Guy Griffith, project cofounder and crew chief.This started as an item on our bucket list of motor sport events to attend and, as more people heard about it in 2012, it very quickly grew into a full on assault on a long-standing record. We could have done it in something more modern and better suited to going fast in a straight line, but wheres the fun in that?Garry Orton, project co-founder and team lo-gistics manager, says some would say that be-coming the worlds fastest classic Mini at Speed Week in 2012 would have been enough. But we know we can make this little car go much faster. The salt gets into your blood too, so we feel we have to go back, fly the New Zealand flag, and show the world how great this Mini is.The team is after more sponsorship to help them reach their goal, but have already part-nered up with Mini New Zealand, Maersk Line, Total Lubricants and the World of Wearable Art and Collectable Cars Museum.

When a vehicle, including bicycles, is indicating a right hand turn, it is

wrong for a vehicle to attempt to pass on the right.Similarly for a left hand turn.I do not appreciate bad drivers doing this,

especially when I get knocked down as happened recently.Like the rule of the road at sea, the over-taking vessel must keep clear.Motorists should remember that bicycles were here before motor cars so it is up to the newcomers to accommodate to exist-

ing use. That means that cyclists must accommodate to pedestrians. I P Bieleski, Nelson.

Grey Power:The Nelson Greypower AGM was aptly held on

April Fool's Day. I commend chair-man Mac Welch, Federation Board member for his patience, and his summing up "disorganized sham-bles" was appropriate. He won't be back. I commend Federation scru-tineers from Rangiora and three Marlborough Executive members on their efforts to gain some vote count with ridiculous documenta-tion. Twice, I asked the chairman for the voting strength of the meet-ing. Twice, those responsible failed to deliver. I, as an observer, asked the scrutineers what the total num-ber of eligible votes was. They were not told. At 2pm I asked keeper of the proxy votes, Pat Carrick, for the total number of eligible proxy vote - 'don't know'! At least this count should be 100 per cent accurate.

No totals of financial and unfinancial at-tendees - they gave up recording when the queue was 200 metres long.As an observer, the scrutineers provide the best totals available. There were no checks and balances to ensure the vote was not corrupted. The whole election process was better suit-ed to Kampala than Nelson. As predicted, the proxy votes completely outnumbered the attendees. Well manipu-lated, best of luck to reincarnated presi-dent Gordon Currie - you will need it. Errol Millar.

Parking Fail on Hardy St:Soooooooo hilarious when it's a senile old lady, hahaha. Oh, it's so

cute.. poor sausage. Bit different if it had been one of these "bloody foreign driv-ers," wouldn't it NZ? You'd be out there all vigilante type, ripping keys out of ignitions and puffing out your chests, filming it on your mobile phones, but no, because it's some dear old biddy, it's kinda funny, even though she is obviously a threat to herself and the public on the roads, and should probably have her licence revoked because it's obvious she lacks the proper mental cognitive function to drive a car any more. Doc Sanchez

I swear this had to be the same lady that I saw go on the inside of

the Haven/ Halifax roundabout instead of

around it!!! Anna Burns.

The fact she is still driving is pretty scary. While this is funny, what

about reading road signs, traffic lights or young kids crossing the road. Diane Chandler.

And this lady has a licence??? If her driving is as bad as her parking,

she's an accident waiting to happen. Janelle Thorpe.

Live Grenade exploded in Richmond:I heard this last night!! Crazy. Elaine Lourens.

So that's what that noise I heard was. A frigging bomb going off.

Yikes. Beverley Miedema.

So pleased I wasn't hearing things. Peter Walbran.

Wow, we heard it too in Richmond. Was a very deep-sounding explo-

sion. Giselle Fish.

A safe vehicle needs a correctly fitted windscreen and thats just what Glass-worx Nelson offer. Windscreens are an important safety feature of vehicles for several reasons; without one, your pas-senger airbags are useless, the pillars by themselves cannot support the weight of a vehicle in a rollover and you will not be kept inside the car should you choose not to wear a seatbelt. Glass-worx Nelson can correctly install your

windscreen and being a quality, repair focused company, you can be assured that they will always try to repair where possible to save you the cost of a full re-placement. If a new windshield is neces-sary, Glassworx Nelson guarantee a fin-ish that puts quality over profit and will take care of all insurance claims, plus, their mobile service is free. Glassworx Nelson also provides window tinting to reduce heat and glare inside and en-hancing the cars style and appearance. Give them a call today to discuss your windscreen requirements.

Whatever the issue, bring your car to the team at Advanced Auto-motive, they will work their magic to get you back on the road. From WOF, mainte-nance of any kind, servicing or brake and clutch repair - you name it; you can get it done to the highest standards, and, with winter on its way its important to check a few things out to ensure comfort-able and safe motoring. Tyres are one important element for safe driving in the winter

months and if you want to keep your engine reliable on those chilly morn-ings, nows a good time to get your cool-ant changed. As MTA members you are guaranteed a professional finish and a trustworthy job from Advanced Au-tomotive. If youre worried about any aspect of your car, come in and see the team today in the bright green building on 4a Gladstone Rd. With courtesy cars available and free pickup and delivery in Richmond, it couldnt be easier to travel safe this winter

As much as we enjoyed the hot summer months, the seasons are changing and that means new conditions on the roads. With many cars now on 12 month WOFs, a number of cars are being driven on extremely worn tyres due to people not checking them regularly. A new WOF today does not mean your car will be legal or safe for the next 12 months. Daryl Smith, owner and operator of Tyreworld Richmond says hes seen some vehicles tyres in a very sorry state, but you can ensure your tyres will stand up to winter road conditions with a simple visual inspection that Daryl is offering free

Mortimers Upholstery can provide a range of custom made, quality products that may prove useful over the winter months.

Calling all duckshooters to the Nel-son Waimea Gun Club. In an effort to help shooters get their eye in, and all others who may just want to have a play, the annual 80 target sporting clay shoot is on this Sunday, starting at 9am.Sporting clays differ from the trap clays which are released from a small hut in front of the shooter, and skeet which is released from two towers to the left and right of the shooter who has to stand at set intervals.Sporting is more out in the open shooting and can be compared to a more natural shoot, where the clay targets are released from within bushes and open spots by trees. It is well-suited to duck and waterfowl shooters.With over $1500 in prizes, includ-ing two new shotguns, its definitely worth a look. As in past years, its a very relaxed day, and the club

grounds in Valley Rd, Golden Downs, is looking the best it has for some time.Cost for the shoot is $66 and the famous lunch and refreshments are available at very reasonable prices. Also on hand will be a number of representatives from local shops with displays and lots of great ad-vice. The club welcomes all shooters from all levels and is looking forward to a great turnout.

Recent ant observations in Nelson have revealed the presence of Argentine ants in large numbers in certain areas. With summer now past it is time to start planning what methods to use to control argentine ants. In past years there was really only one option and that was to use bait. If not applied correctly, and if neighbours did not treat at the same time, then control was not of the expected levels for the price paid for the product. This season has seen the use of a tried and proven method of getting long-term control of argentine ants for a reasonable outlay by the householder. The X-IT Ant programme relies on the use of at least two, possibly three, differ-ent products to achieve ant control.To get the best result from your X It Ant ap-plication your sprayer must have no spray resi-due from the previous use of insecticides (e.g. RipcordPlus) Best results are achieved when a new sprayer is used and only X IT Ant is used in it. X-It Ant works by being non-repellent to ants so that when they walk over the dried spray residue they pick up the insecticide on their feet and take it back to the nest where the ants preen each other, and thereby pass the insecticide onto other ants, including the queen. Ant colony control is achieved once the queens are dead.You must know where the ants are for successful treatment, so a full Inspection of the property is

required so check all these places:Sleepers, trees, curb and channelling, driveways,paths, gardens, compost heaps, all fences includ-ing the wire or boards, rails and posts, pergolas and plants growing on them. Firewood piles, downpipes, rubbish bins, bbqs, outdoor furniture, pot plants, vehicles, decks and any trees over-hanging the boundary.

The best time to look for ants is in the heat of the day when they are most active.

1. X-It Ant: 225ml pack (Only use OUT-DOORS). Spray all ant trails, path edges, drive-way edges, curb & channelling, fences including posts, rails, pergola posts etc. Tree trunks re-quire a minimum 1 metre band up and around them. Bushes / plants that touch the house need to be pruned so that they no longer do so. Spray a 1 metre band up and out all the way around the exterior of the house.

2. Bi Force Granules: 500g shaker packIn gardens, long grass, compost, and any areas where X-It Ant cannot be applied successfully.

3. Dust 2 Dust: 100g puffer packUse for the killing of ants in wall and ceiling cavities, cracks and crevices, under inaccessible decking, under cupboards and into retaining walls.

The Wakefield Apple Fair will celebrate this years harvest by turning the regions most pop-ular fruit into juice - vintage style.Christine Grieder and her part-ner Kim John Kerslake, own Willow Bank Heritage Village, where the fair will be held this Sunday. The idea started when a friend Sylvia Huxtable, men-tioned how much she missed the apple harvest fair held in the United Kingdom each year. Christine decided to get some friends together and organise one herself. It is the only day of the year that the couple opens their unique property up to the public. Three large presses and crush-es have been supplied by the Small Sips Wine Club which will handle juicing of bulk apples and Christine has sup-plied two smaller vintage hand-presses from the 1940s. People are invited to bring ap-ples and their own containers for the juice with around 10kgs of apples making approximate-ly five litres of juice.There will also be stalls sell-ing a variety of food, using traditional apple recipes. Ap-ples will be available to juice for those who dont have their own. Childrens games and pony rides will be on offer and a scout group will be cook-

ing sausages on an antique 100-year-old stove. An old-fashioned photo studio has been set up with replica art-work backdrop and Waverley St Kindergarten will be taking family photos as a fundraiser.There are 15 relocated and restored buildings within the grounds including a church built in the 1880s relocated from Collingwood St, and the original Stoke Gaol construct-ed in the 1940s. Every build-ing has been lovingly restored by Christine and Kim, who have been collecting vintage machinery and bric and brac for 12 years. Each houses a dif-ferent theme of vintage collect-ibles including toys, clothing, china, electrical equipment, an old-fashioned sweet shop and a haberdashery and general store.Visitors will be entertained by live music from The Plink-

ers and performances during the course of the day by the Morris Dancers. A highlight will be a short performance of the ringing of the bells inside the relocated Collingwood St church. The bells, originally used at Wai-iti School in 1875, are now stored at the Nelson School of Music. Last year, around 200 people attended the free community event, however with more people becoming aware of the event, it is hoped this year will be even bigger and better. The Wakefield Apple Fair will be held rain or shine this Sun-day from 12.30pm to 4pm at Willow Bank Heritage Village, 79 Wakefield-Kohatu High-way. Organisers are look-ing for more stall holders to sell bric and brac, hand made wares, food and apple related items. If you are interested contact Amy on 541 8001.

The Nelson Waimea Gun Club is hosting a sporting clay event this weekend to help duck-hunters get their eye in.
