Twelve into sevens does go

JO RICHARDS

Takaka’s Rec Park was buzzing with swarms of young rugby players last Saturday. A dozen under-9s teams from across the region had gathered from early morning to compete in Tasman Rugby’s Junior Sevens tournament.

The teams, sporting kits of many colours, each played five 12-minute matches over an intense two-and-a-half hour period. Military style organisation, including a hooter which signalled the start and finish of every round, kept the detailed fixture schedule on track.

When the hooter sounded at the end of each match, players and officials had three minutes to leave before the next two teams kicked off.

While players and pitches were clearly in the junior category, there was some pretty grownup rugby being played, with the youngsters at times tackling, passing and running with the ball just like their senior counterparts.

Takaka’s participation at this level bodes well for the future, according to one of the

club’s junior coaches Mike Reynish. “We’ve got 18 players, so we’ve got two teams this morning.”

But it’s not just about the players on the pitch. “Everyone on the committee – and parents – help make this happen,” says Mike, before singling out the club secretary for a special mention. “Clarissa Bruning does a lot of work behind the scenes.”

Another club stalwart and coach of Takaka under-9s Sarah Baigent, understandably had a busy morning. Ambushed by The GB Weekly as she was rushing between matches, Sarah seemed pleased with the way the tournament was playing out. “It’s all going well, so far.”

Scores are not recorded at junior level, and consequently there are no reported results, but the young players still keep a tally, says Mike. “They all say ‘we won this, and we beat them’.”

There may be no official victor but the tournament proved a winner for junior rugby.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 6 AUGUST 2021

Tasman District Council continues to work on its new Environment Plan (TEP) against a background of changes to national legislation, including the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and the National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPS-IB).

The RMA, which provides the framework under which local resource management plans are developed, is due to be replaced with three new pieces of legislation.

The new Acts are designed to improve the natural environment, enable more development, provide an effective role for Maori, and improve housing supply and affordability. The changes also seek to reduce and simplify planning processes, time, and costs. The implications are unclear, but TDC are working out what the new legislation will mean for the district.

The purpose of the NPS-IB, is to reverse the decline in biodiversity using a variety of tools including designated Significant Natural Areas (SNA).

Part of the councils work on the TEP involves the designation of Outstanding Natural Landscapes and Features (ONFL), and revised Coastal Environment (CE) zones. Following feedback gathered during TDC’s recent engagement process, the draft maps of the ONFLs and CE areas, are being revised to reflect local knowledge and will be released later this year.

TDC’s senior principal planner Stephanie Styles attended all 13 community feedback events across the district, and believes the process is working well. But she also recognises that rural property owners are worried about potential land-use restrictions and seeks to “reassure people that these projects are not about stopping existing activities or removing ownership”.

With respect to the coastal environment, TDC is hosting a series of drop-in events during September to exchange ideas on its response to climate change and coastal hazards, and talk through climate change scenarios and how different areas might be affected. Four broad options for responding to sea level rise and coastal hazards will be put forward.

On another controversial topic, TDC has postponed work on assessment of potential Significant Natural Areas (SNA) until the NPS-IB is published, due to concerns expressed by landowners. Tasman mayor Tim King said it was a pragmatic decision.

“As a council, we know that to achieve good long-term outcomes for biodiversity we need to all work together.”

Clement conditions over last weekend paid big dividends for competitors in the 24th Upper Takaka Country Club Pig Hunting Competition.

The club-run event is held annually, over two days, culminating with a weigh-in and prizegiving at the clubrooms on the Sunday.

The hunt was organised by Upper Takaka locals and keen hunters Jonny Harwood, Cindy Rosser and Amanda Brooks.

Locals made up most of the list of 51 entrants across seven categories, though attendees came from as far as rural Tasman and Marlborough.

“The event has stayed pretty much the same format [since inception],” says Jonny. “Our original event comprised 15 entrants, just pig hunters, and since then we have only grown in size.”

Hunters are free to hunt in whichever geography they choose over the course of the competition, “but most comes from the Bay” says Cindy.

The weigh-in, manned by Geoff Trewavas and Duncan McKenzie, was stationed across the road from the club, and an impressive haul was on display. There were so many beasts, in fact, that there were insufficient meat hooks and space in which to hang carcasses.

Jonny confirmed: “This is probably the best pig hunt we have ever had as far as most pigs ever, and a really great turnout”.

The haul comprised freshly shot red and fallow deer (including an impressive 13-pointer red stag), pigs, piles of hare, possum and goat heads.

As the weigh-in concluded and results were tallied, hunters gathered in and around the clubrooms, nourished by chippies, bier sticks and cold beers.

Inside the clubrooms was an impressive range of prizes. “It’s all donated from the local community and from over the Hill,” says Cindy. The hunt is a not-for-profit event with “all of the entry money distributed between the winners”.

The prizegiving saw both new and experienced faces. The youngest hunters, siblings Felix and Ruby-Lou Tait (aged two and four years old respectively) won the first-equal prize for heaviest hares. Their kills, assisted by father Anthony Tait, were made in East Takaka.

“It’s the most fun [for me] having the kids involved,” says Amanda Brooks, and confirmed that there is a participation prize for every child who enters.

There are seven “adult” and six “13 and under” competition categories. The two top prizes went to Grant Wyllie and Steven Strange for the Largest Boar, and to Luke Jacobsen and Blair Crawford respectively for the Largest Tusks.

After prizegiving, the crowd stayed on for spot prizes and a club-catered feast of venison steak and chips, saveloys, bier sticks and patties.

Organiser Cindy is thrilled with the results and already thinking ahead to next year.

“It was a fantastic day with a great number of entries and a lot of very happy children, which is a great lead-up to next year’s 25-year hunt, and hopefully record numbers for 2022.”

ADULT CATEGORY WINNERS Largest Boar – 54.5kg - Grant Wyllie and Steven Strange Largest Tusks - Luke Jacobson and Blair Crawford Biggest Sow - 45.6kg - Jadeyn McKay and Zodie McKay Average weight pig – 37.7kg - Reggie Baker and Ryan McKay Most pigs weighed in - (4 pigs) - Jacob Ching and Clayton Anderson Biggest Red Stag – 109kg- Devon Davis and Jesse O’Loughlin Biggest Fallow Stag – Hayden Trewavas and Blake Delaney

Team changes at Takaka Library RONNIE SHORT

Nerissa Cottle will be known to many who visit the Takaka Memorial Library, where she has worked as library assistant for nearly four years.

Recently, she accepted the position previously held by Doris Symmons and is now in charge of the Children and Youth section.

Initially working part-time for 10, then eventually 18 hours per week, Nerissa now works full time. She is well equipped for the job, with prior experience and a Diploma in Library and Information Studies. The Open Polytechnic online course took Nerissa three years of part-time study, whilst juggling two young children, work and home life.

Having a longtime love of libraries, Nerissa visited many when travelling overseas in her twenties. When her children were preschoolers and she was working as a cleaner, she came up with the idea of undertaking library studies. By the time the job at Takaka library came up, Nerissa had achieved her first paper.

“I learned a lot, not just about working in a public library, but about all the different, specialist libraries out there. We did a Te Ao Maori paper and that was really amazing for me, because we weren’t taught that at school. I learned a lot in that one paper.”

Considering further study sometime in the future, Nerissa is keen to undertake the New Zealand Certificate in Library and Information Services for Children and Teens. Meanwhile she is enjoying working full time.

“I’m really happy – and working with a great team. I’m open to working with the community and individuals because I totally believe this is a space for everybody. Bringing in people to work with the children and youth is important.”

Linda Jane Keegan has now taken up the library assistant position. She moved to the Bay from Auckland in January this year, with her illustrator-designer husband and their five-yearold son.

Previously, Linda Jane worked for Auckland City Council libraries, setting up the radio ID tags in the back of the books.

“Not very exciting,” she says, “but interesting, because I got to go to other Auckland libraries.”

She also worked as an environmental educator for Auckland Council under their Sustainable Schools umbrella. “That involved children coming in and going on bushwalks and working science into that,” she said.

Linda Jane has a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in ecology. Besides her many roles in customer service, she has

also worked in summer camp programmes overseas. “That’s my area – working with lots of children.”

Proving her variety of skills, Linda Jane has recently had a picture book published through Scholastic New Zealand. She describes it as “A rhyming story about a kid who gets scared by the things in the ocean, and the parents are teaching and reassuring him.”

Having completed three days of training induction at both Tasman District Council and the Richmond library, Linda Jane feels she is now well prepared for her new role.

“I love being in the library environment. It’s nice to meet other book-loving people,” she said.

WIN A FREE CONSULTATION with Dr Bruce Dooley Protecting freedom of speech

The prize of a one-hour consultation valued at $180, covering the consultee’s life timeline history to the present with the aim of connecting the dots, has been drawn and the winner contacted.

Thanks to all those who entered.

The correct answer was “blood”.

To suggest that hate speech caused the Christchurch killings is unsubstantiated and to sell the proposed hate speech legislation as necessary to prevent other such atrocities in New Zealand is absurd. Due to a thick layer of secrecy around the Christchurch killer, it is not known how he came to commit his horrific act. We do know that this young Australian man played computer games for his entertainment and we know many of these games are highly violent. There is no legislation being offered to outlaw these violent games.

Freedom of speech is a long cherished component of a healthy democracy, so please help to save this important right we currently enjoy.

A big thank you to the incredible people who came to the meeting or advised their commitment to establish the Athletics Club again; it was very encouraging. Athletics training hits all of the fundamentals for sports; running, jumping and throwing, so it’s not just a summer sport, but also an investment in fitness, speed, power and strength that will improve any other sport you get involved with.

We have had so much support from people wanting to coach, but to have a great club again we also need a fabulous committee with all positions filled to keep the workload spread out and thrive. The AGM will be held on Wednesday 25 August at 7pm in the community room at the Rec Park Centre. We hope to see you there and get this vital club back on its feet again.

Let’s do this for the kids.

Celebrating 40 years of Pupu Hydro

It gives me much pleasure to announce that the Pupu Hydro Society Inc is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The first meeting to discuss retention and restoration of the historic power plant was held at the Globe Hotel in 1981 where the society was formed. Its first funding of $25,000 came from Hilda Campbell. Her father had built the original water race in 1900 for the purpose of gold sluicing. She also gifted the Pupu Springs to the Crown. The society relied on donations, the sale of debentures and a massive voluntary contribution from members and the wider community to get the power scheme underway.

ASCA Sweden and ASCA New Zealand donated the new generator windings. This was a major boost to the successful restoration.

By using DOC’s zig-zag track the society has developed a “walking loop” along the water race and access road into the best short walk in the world.

To mark the occasion, the society is holding an open day at the power house on Saturday 14 August from 12pm until 4pm for viewing and chatting with present-day members. Everyone is welcome to attend to celebrate the anniversary of this tremendous effort.

Paul Sangster, secretary Pupu Hydro Society Inc

by Hobie Mercer. The four main characters and a brilliant plastic imaginary one keep the audience in a state of suspense as they move through their entangled relationships. All become heroes in the play that everyone can find themselves relating to in some form or another. The terrific cast includes experienced actress Anita Hutchinson along with Mark Roberts and Chai Pyle in their second big performance. Also new to adult theatre, but putting in an excellent performance, was Linda Keegan. Thank you everybody for a fantastic evening.

Celebrating a decade of Ray White in the Bay

Last Thursday, Takaka real estate licencee Billy Kerrisk celebrated a decade in business with an evening bash at The Jenna Bowden and Billy Kerrisk photobombed by Sam Goffriller.

A couple of days earlier, Billy reflected on the profound changes in the local property market, and her own operation, over that period.

“Compared to 11 years ago, the job is completely different,” said Billy, who set up the Golden Bay branch of Ray White in 2010. She highlights a significant growth in paperwork as one of the most notable changes. “When we started, the agency agreement was two pages; now it’s a minimum of eight.”

The supply-demand balance in the market was also much different then. Billy explained that she would typically have more than 60 listings and was “lucky to talk to four buyers in a month”, with some properties taking a long time to sell.

Today’s frantic market has turned the real estate sector upside down. “I’m lucky if I can keep four properties in the Billy Kerrisk, right, with Lizzie McAlinden, who was Billy’s first market,” said Billy before reeling off some staggering statistics. purchaser when she started in real estate in 2008.

“For each property, I get around 5,000 [online] hits; I get 70-80 inquiries, do 40-50 viewings in three weeks, draw up around 20 contracts and present between 5-12 offers.

“Our process is a bit like an iceberg; you don’t see what’s going on behind the scenes and the work we do after the sales.”

A decade of hard work has produced impressive results for her agency. “We’ve sold more than 400 properties over the last 10 years,” said Billy.

Just like the property market, Billy and her business have experienced a number of highs and lows. “The lows? Well, the Hill closure was massive, and getting through Covid,” said Billy, Ray White Golden Bay Client Service Manager Clarissa Bruning. who moved quickly on to the highs, which are all about her Photo: Paige Lynette Photography. staff and colleagues. “The networking and training with the Ray White Group.

JO RICHARDS

Golden Bay’s Shield Maidens showed grit and determination – and not a little flair – to overcome Nelson Suburbs FC Swans last Saturday. But they had to do it the hard way, twice coming from behind before scoring the winner mid-way though a pulsating second half.

The thoroughly deserved win means that the Maidens have done the double over the Women’s Division 2 leaders this season and are fast becoming the Swans’ bogey side.

On a day that was more reminiscent of late summer, a carnival atmosphere quickly developed as home supporters congregated along the sidelines.

The Maidens, clearly up for the much-anticipated contest, came charging out of the blocks, dominating possession and carving out a number of early chances. But 10 minutes in, it was the Swans who struck first, with what was their first serious foray of the match. It was a messy goal, but they all count the same, and the visitors were happy to accept it.

Around 15 minutes later things got worse for the Maidens when, against the run of play, they conceded another – this time to a low shot from the edge of the penalty area which gave the home side’s keeper Liz Egan no chance.

Although trailing 0-2, the Maidens refused to be downhearted and stuck to their game plan with the midfield linking up nicely with the attack. Claire Sparrow and skipper Ellie Hopkins were solid in the middle of the park while Abbie McConnon bamboozled her markers with some fancy footwork. Supplied with some penetrating through-balls, wingers Zoe Whitwell and Zoe Carlton stretched the Swans’ defence, but still the killer cross wouldn’t come.

As half-time approached, the Maidens’ efforts showed some signs of being rewarded. First, Tiana Olney evaded the offside trap to race onto towards the Swans’ goal, but frustratingly couldn’t convert. The next minute, Phoebe Potts came within a whisker of scoring when her powerful shot was fumbled by the Swans’ keeper who somehow managed to scramble back and smother the ball. The alarm bells were now ringing for the visitors and they would soon become deafening. With two minutes of the first half to play, McConnon pounced on the Swan defender’s error and coolly slotted the ball home, halving the deficit.

The Maidens’ momentum continued to build from the start of the second-half and, within five minutes, the scores were level after Hopkins drilled the ball past the advancing keeper and into the back of the net.

The Swans were now flapping but quickly recovered to mount a counter attack and minutes later, to the disappointment of the home crowd, re-established their lead.

On the basis of “anything you can do…”, the home side responded almost immediately with McConnon’s second goal of the afternoon – a sublime chip over the diminutive Swans’ keeper.

The scores were now level at 3-3, and the Maidens sniffed victory in the air. They were cheered on by a small army of supporters, including a very partisan dog which barked loudly and enthusiastically whenever the home side attacked – which was increasingly often.

The Maidens’ corner kick count was steadily rising – a reflection of their attacking dominance. And it was direct from a corner that McConnon completed her hat-trick by surprising the keeper who was unable to collect the high cross/shot.

For the first time in the match, the Maidens now held the lead, but they did not rest. For the remaining 20 minutes they continued to probe the visitors’ defence, almost scoring from another corner, and raining in a series of shots on the Swans’ overworked keeper. But they couldn’t add to their tally and, with just a single goal advantage, there was the constant threat that the visitors might equalise. So when the final whistle eventually blew, a mixture joy and relief erupted from the home side and their supporters – including the noisy canine fan which barked its approval.

Addressing his players immediately after the match, Maidens’ coach Phil Smith was clearly ecstatic. “Ladies; thank you so much for that game, “ said Phil. “Wow. That is how football is played.

I’m so proud.”

Mountain Goats stumble against Tahuna

JO RICHARDS

A few minutes after Golden Bay’s women had secured their notable victory at Takaka’s Rec Park, the men’s 1st XI, aka the Mountain Goats, kicked off against Tahuna 1st XI on the adjacent pitch.

The bottom two clubs in Nelson Bay’s Division 1 faced off knowing that the victor would climb off the foot of the ladder.

During the opening 65 minutes they went toe-to-toe, it was difficult to separate the teams, but a late flurry of goals from the away side saw the Goats stumble to a heavy defeat.

From the start both sides quickly got down to business and effectively cancelled each other out for the first 15 minutes. But then the home side, who have struggled to score all season, produced a moment of real quality; skipper Danyon Fleming delivered a beautifully flighted cross from the left flank into the path of the advancing Zeb Fersterer-Gawith, who smashed the ball past Tahuna’s keeper and into auld onion bag.

But celebrations were short-lived. Tahuna replied within three minutes to level the scores, and thanks in part to some

heroics from the Goats’ stand-in keeper Sam Lear, that’s how it stayed up to and beyond the half-time interval.

With 25 minutes to play it was still anyone’s game, but Tahuna were starting to boss the midfield and forged an increasing number of chances for their attacking players. On more than one occasion, Lear denied the visitors, but even he couldn’t keep the ball out of his net indefinitely and, within the space of eight game-changing minutes, the score raced from 1-1 to 1-4.

The Goats now had a mountain to climb, but as they pushed forward, they left their back door wide open. Tahuna took full advantage of the invitation and added a further brace, including a penalty, which took the final score to 1-6.

The Goats’ indefatigable skipper was clearly disappointed with the result, but took some positives from the match. ”It was a great first half, and a great goal,” said Fleming. “We fought to the end, and I’m proud of the boys.”

Tahuna defender and former Golden Bay star player Mitchell Winter said it had been “bitter-sweet” and “a bit weird” to be playing against what was his home club for many years. “It was really nice to see everyone and have a bit of a chat with the boys.”

The Mountain Goats now sit at the bottom of Division 1, but have three more fixtures to put things right before the end of the season.

JO RICHARDS

Takaka’s TeleMarket will continue to be held every Saturday at the Telegraph Hotel until the regular Village Market resumes at the library carpark on 2 October.

The agreement to extend the weekly indoor/outdoor market’s run followed a discussion between Golden Bay’s market stall holders and manager of the Village Market Grant Knowles.

On behalf of the stall holders, Jacqui Allen explained why they were so keen to carry on with the TeleMarket. “We want to maintain consistency of venue for our customers and many stall holders rely on a warm indoor space during inclement winter weather.”

Grant concurs. “I have been thinking that because it is winter and the Village Market is only monthly for another two markets, and I start weekly in October, I would leave the TeleMarket to run through winter.

TeleMarket is at the Telegraph Hotel every Saturday morning until the end of September. The Village Market starts on Saturday 2 October at the library carpark.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

POLICE REPORT

Popular teacher retires after 25 years ANITA PETERS

Kia ora whanau, • 23 July: Police are investigating the unlawful taking of a car from Meihana Street. The offender strangely took the car for a spin causing some damage before returning it just over an hour later. He kindly left his fingerprints and a used beer bottle and was seen by members of the public, so I am hoping he will also have the decency to come and explain himself at the Police Station. Always better to come forward and admit to your wrongdoing rather than have one of us turn up on your doorstep. The victim is pleased to have her car back, if a little banged up.

• 30 July: Police arrested a 55-year-old female following a domestic assault. She appears in the Nelson District Court on 9 August facing a number of assault charges.

• 2 August: A 28-year-old seasonal worker was arrested and charged with dangerous driving after an overnight intoxicated drive down Commercial Street which saw him drive onto the footpath in two places, knocking over two street signs and a shopfront awning post. Thankfully nobody was injured.

• A 59-year-old local male plead guilty in the Nelson District Court to assault and threatening behaviour following the road rage incident on 20 July. He appears for sentencing on 27 September.

• Found: A watch was found in Takaka township, and we still have a number of bicycles unclaimed.

• A reminder to drivers to be considerate of other road users in particular cyclists. As a driver you must give the cyclist 1.5m clearance when overtaking, irrespective of whether or not there is a cycle path available. Cyclists, please use the cycle path if suitable for your tyres and please keep to the left. You may be right but there is no point being dead right.

Have a great weekend.

For a quarter of a century, Motupipi School has been blessed with the infectious energy of a dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Mark and Judy Cullen.

Mark retired as principal nearly two years ago, and now Judy, his wife and deputy principal – while not entirely hanging up her hat – has joined Mark to pursue their joint interests.

“He left a gap,” she says. “We’re pretty much joined at the hip.”

Since “sealing their fate” at training college 45 years ago, they have taught alongside each other since.

Early on, posted to the West Coast, Judy did relief teaching while raising their three children, sometimes with one in a backpack and one in a cot in the teacher’s cupboard. After stints in South Westland and Greymouth, the Motupipi principal job came up. A trip up to see the school and marvel at their children swimming in spring convinced them of the move.

“The kids were purple but they were so excited – it was like a summer holiday.” Their arrival at Christmas-time further convinced them. “It was a tremendous community welcome!”

Motupipi School quickly filled their lives. Highlights for Judy have been the many special events, field trips, musical productions, daffodil days, school camps, the school garden and endless outdoor experiences. Before the stringent health and safety regulations, impromptu school trips were made for the learning experience, like taking the children to Farewell Spit to help save 120 stranded whales. “Those are the things that kids remember,” Judy believes.

Next week, Judy hands over as lead teacher to the Youth Ambassadors for Project Janszoon. Aside from teaching, over 40 years she has also coached and sometimes refereed swimming, athletics, tennis, rugby, hockey, mini-ball and whatever’s needed. But currently she is resisting new voluntary roles. “Not just yet,” she declares.

Judy is excited about retiring. Family now takes priority; time with eight grandchildren, her mum, documenting family history and catching up with house maintenance jobs, usually secondary to school working bees, that now already list “renewing the deck, painting the house…”.

“I’m definitely not going to sit here and get bored,” she laughs.

Walking on the beach, singing, playing her ukulele, gardening, and outdoor pursuits, especially biking and tramping, are high on the agenda given her brand new trout fishing rod, her electric bike, new alpine sleeping bags and wet-weather gear.

Judy admits to choking up at her farewell when the high school kids turned up to say goodbye. “Children I taught years ago too. Now I’ve taught their children,” she says. “There’s that strong family connection, through teaching and being parents together.”

“I’m definitely not going to sit here and get bored,” says Motupipi School’s retiring deputy principal Judy Cullen. Photo: Anita Peters.

As a marriage celebrant, Judy has also had the extra thrill of organising and performing wedding ceremonies for a number of Motupipi ex-pupils.

Jodie Grant, a fellow teacher for 20 years, says that Judy has been an incredible teacher and mentor, with enormous enthusiasm for new ideas.

“She has such a thorough knowledge not just of the whole wellbeing of the child, but also of nature and New Zealand as a country and a culture.”

Motupipi principal Lisa Malones added: “Judy is an integral, core member of the school. Dedicated, loyal, professional, compassionate and caring. She will be sorely missed.”

Judy and Mark will always be close to Motupipi School, especially now with grandchildren attending. But this time for them is long overdue.

“These are the years to be doing this,” says Judy. “We realise how really lucky we are, to be doing them now, together.”

For Sale For Sale: $1,950,000 plus GST if any Open Home: Please call to arrange a viewing TOP OF THE WISH LIST GOLDEN BAY - When we ask people what they most desire in their Golden Bay property search, the list goes something like this Privacy, sea views, close to town, bush and spring water. Top of the wish list then is this 87 hectare block just across the river from the township, ticking all those boxes and more. This hillside, which climbs to over 100m above sea level, has many fresh water springs within the boundary. 4WD access tracks have been developed from one end of the property to the other, giving not just ease of access but also a really good insight into the multiple building site options. There are two entry points; one near the Waitapu River bridge and a shared access about 2kms along Pupu Valley Road. The opportunities here are only limited by your imagination.

Already the cellphone tower lease provides an annual income that beats what the bank will give you on your investment. Call Sam or Billy now for further details!
