“I haven’t had any experience with it but I disagree with them. They should not be allowed to skateboard on the footpath.”

“They should be allowed.

Why not? As long as they’re not pissing any people off then they should be allowed.”

“I used to skate down Queen St and I didn’t even know that was a bylaw. If you see a big group of people you usually hop off anyway.”

“They are a bit of a pain because you’re scared you’re going to get hit. It’s too busy and crowded, I don’t want someone to get hurt.”

Duck season begins No skating FROM PAGE 1

residential buildings are constructed around estuaries near Rabbit Island and Best Island, it makes wielding a shotgun a little more difficult.

Obviously as it gets further into the season there will be less ducks around in the area, so Kieran says the first weekend is usually pretty busy. “Yeah it definitely

keeps the birds moving. Most people have a fair chance this weekend,” he says.

Preparation is the key to becoming a good duck hunter, he adds. “Just make sure you have everything sorted for opening weekend, especially. Most people will shoot in one spot on opening weekend and put all their eggs in the one basket. But myself, as the season moves on, I tend to look for where the ducks are

in central Richmond

and then set-up nearby.”

Duck shooters used to find plenty of spots in the region but that has died down in recent years because of more residential development and new cycleways. “Nelson is one of the worst places.

There’s just not the habitat or it’s not really wet enough. All the development is just driving people out and you don’t want to disturb.”

Councillors back to work with NCC After Tasman voters threw out a proposed amalgamation with Nelson City, councillors on both sides seem to have got right back to working together.

This week councillors from both councils announced the region’s joint waste management and minimisation plan has been given the go-ahead by a joint

working party, just a week after the amalgamation poll. Nelson City Councillor Mike Ward says the working party worked “exceptionally well together”.

“This whole process has been a pleasure to be part of. Everyone worked really well towards the end goal, which ultimately puts a plan in place for driving

behaviour change in waste minimisation and waste management across the region.”

Introducing the plan, chair of the joint working party Tasman councillor Judene Edgar says we are becoming increasingly aware of the harm our waste can do to the environment, if not well managed.

TDC promotes skateboarding by hosting the annual Tasman Skate Park Tour during the summer holidays. There are six skate parks in the Tasman District.

Rollerblades and roller skates are also banned on Queen St and Sundial Square, however scooters, which are arguably the most popular amongst children, are not banned from the areas, says Chris.

Because it is a TDC bylaw, the penalty would be up to their legislation.

NEWS IN BRIEF VISUAL ARTS SCAM: Arts Council Nelson are warning people of a potential scam targeting visual artists. The sender in one known Nelson instance is supposedly Mrs. Anna Johnson of anna2021anna@aol.com.

The scammer pretended to buy, using a fake cheque or stolen credit card number to pay, over paid and tells the artist the extra amount is for their shipper. The artist has been asked to deposit the fake money and then use their real money to “pay” the shipper, always via Western Union, which once they pick it up, it is completely untraceable. Arts Council Nelson say they are after quick cash from the victim forwarding the overpayment. It targets artists with online presence as they refer to the artist personally and also to a specific piece of work, they added.

Cousin of dead tramper raises $6K Sammi Abbott didn’t quite know how to say thanks, now it’s the turn of Nelson’s Search and Rescue team to be lost for words.

Last December Sammi’s cousin Sharny Abbott was washed away in a raging river while tramping up the Hackett. He died in the river but Land SAR found Sharny’s body quickly and were able to let the family grieve. Sammi says they were originally told the body would never be recovered.

To say thanks for their efforts 18 year old Sammi organised a fundraising showcase on Saturday night, donating $6500

– more than double what she expected to raise – to the team. Land SAR representatives attended on the night and say they were overwhelmed by the efforts of the teenager. “We do get donations from families that want to credit us but this is the first time to this extent. I’m still blown away by it,” says Joe Hayes, chairman of Nelson Land SAR. Dancers, singers and musicians graced the stage, with 26 act volunteering their time and talents to help the fundraiser.

Performers included many of Sammi’s friends and schoolmates as well as wellknown acts from the wider community.

Tapawera mourns school girl

Raffle prizes were donated by local businesses.

Sammi says the amount of work involved in bringing the event together was more than she had expected, but the night turned out bigger than expected as well, thanks to the help and encouragement she received from family, friends, co-workers and the community.

She was blown away by the response, and says she was glad to have had the chance to give something back to Land SAR. “You don’t know how much work they do until they come into your life.”

The cost of shopping just got cheaper!

Tapawera is this week mourning the tragic death of one of its youngest citizens after a motorbike accident on a private farm.

Sarah Melissa Joanne MacDonald, 5, was riding a mini two-wheeled motorbike with her family on their rural property when she crashed into a farm fence on Sunday afternoon.

She died from the injuries resulting from the crash.

Nelson Police, volunteer fire and ambulance crews from Tapawera responded to the scene along with the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter.

Sergeant Blair Hall says police will be conducting a thorough investigation into the facts surrounding the events, but first they are giving the family some time and space to grieve.

“This is a particularly tragic event and our thoughts are currently with the family at this time.”

He says form of machinery has associated dangers and risks and it will be up to the coroner to make any recommendations around this.

It is understood the family had been riding motorcycles on the farm during the course of the afternoon.

Blair says Sarah had just started attending Tapawera Area School and she had older siblings.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has a huge role to play in our body and its processes. The more research that is done on this vitamin, the more we learn about how important it is to our body. It is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that our bodies can’t store it therefore we have to get what we need from food or supplements.

There are different types of Vitamin C available, a low acid formula is better tolerated by people with sensitive stomachs. Nutra-Life Vitamin C provides 500mg in a great tasting chewable tablet to help you to maintain a healthy immune system this winter.

They have shared thousands of stories and knitted thousands of garments but since the Red Cross knitting group reached 30 years together, they have been on the lookout for some new members.

The Red Cross knitting group has been busy working away doing voluntary knitting for other groups in the Red Cross banner and for local people in rest homes, refugee centres and hospitals.

All their items, which include blankets, jerseys, beanies, scarves and much more, go to people in Nelson.

Pat Borlase, the last remaining Red Cross committee member residing in Richmond, says that when she is doing Meals on Wheels, she can see when people are in need of a new knitted item.

The current group, which doesn’t feature any of the founding members, say they aren’t 100 percent sure why the group started but the common answer these days seems to be “do some knitting and socialise.” “I gather it was just a group of ladies that

got together to help out,” says Beth Greep. The group was formed when the Red Cross had two branches in the region; one in Nelson and one in Richmond. But now that it falls under the one banner, there are members from both areas.

The group originally knitted peggy squares only, making them into rugs. But now they can undo a jersey and turn it into their own creation and design. “It’s developed over the years.”

Glynn Thomas says the best part about knitting is that you can multi-task and catch up on the latest gossip. “You’re working with your hands but you end up working with your tongue as well,” she says.

Pat says the work the group does in the community is “phenomenal.”

“They’re sending hundreds of hats, singlets, booties, slippers, rugs to refugee places, hospitals, homes and places that really need it.”

If you would like to join the group, please contact Beth on 544 8353.

Fundraiser will be a hair-raising experience Shelley Habib has never had short hair and doesn’t like to think what it will be like to be bald, but that isn’t stopping her bid to raise $5000 and in return have her locks lopped off.

Shelley says she will have her hair shaved off this June, a year to the month after she lost a close friend to cancer. She will cut her hair only if she can raise the $5000 to be donated to cancer research.

She says the thought of being bald hasn’t got her too fazed. One of her sons feels a bit differently though. “He told me Shelley Habib says she will shave off her hair to mark ‘Mummy, you’ll look ugly with no hair the death of a friend to cancer.

College kids get career advice Phillip Rollo The options seem endless. Do you study design at Massey University? Do you train to be a teacher?

What about joining the army?

Well that important decision on what to do when you leave school got that much easier for Waimea College and Garin College students yesterday. A careers road show visited Waimea College, giving students an insight into where to take their future study or training. For some it might have given them the realisation that further study isn’t for them and they just want to join the workforce.

But as Waimea College career adviser Lyn Guilliard explains, the idea of the road show is to make sure

every student is informed of what is exactly on offer.

“We had 36 providers come in and they ranged from universities to polytechs, industry training organisiation and other services like chartered accountants, armed services and groups like Study Link,” she says.

“Generally it’s like a display and we set up the assembly hall with different booths so the students get a chance to go around.”

Every two years the road show has been held at the Trafalgar Centre.

The providers will move around all of the region’s secondary schools during the week, including Motueka and Golden Bay. The school’s career advisers will now follow up with Joel Emery-Jones, 17, does press-ups in front of senior recruiting officer for the NZ Defence Force Jo Dixon.

Cécile, a hospital nurse, is an incredibly modern young woman. She dares to defy the moral and social prejudices of the time to link her fate to that of the man she loves and who represents all the values she admires. In doing so, she is willing to be disowned by her father and ruin her reputation in a daring, revolutionary move for the time. Henry sees in her a true companion, someone who will support him and believe in him more than he does himself.

TO THE EDITOR

There has been some published criticism re the upgrading/repair to the Bill Wilkes Reserve off Hunter Ave. in Richmond.

There have been many 30 year old willow trees removed , the stream has been redefined, footbridge replaced, spill way repaired and now new leveling and reseeding of the grounds , all post December flooding issues.

I must say I appreciate every day the “clean up” job and the repair work that I witness taking place.

I have been to Golden Bay recently and have witnessed the extent of the repair that must be undertaken there and I think that we are very lucky to have this reserve work taking place amongst the priorities that face TDC. Well done and thanks, the reserve is looking great.

Sincerely, Merle Moffitt.

TDC rate payers desperately need clear report-

From My Desk

This Week ing on the amalgamation issue, and they yet again didn’t get that with the “We Won” article in the April 25 issue. Yes we voted down the Amalgamation, but what does that in fact mean? Your reporters last paragraph quoting Aldo Michio as saying “....work with the government as they move through their reforms so that the amalgamation model best suits our region” totally negates the upbeat heading “We Won!” Could someone please report clearly on what this means for the future? If I read Michio correctly - since he (and presumably the National government) didn’t like the way the vote went, they will continue to bring it back to the table until they ram it through.

When we were presented with the options we were not told that the rules included Michio continueing to push this barrow for as long as he likes while TDC and those rate payers opposed are held hostage financially to funding endless committees and votes looking at this issue.

This does NOT appear to be dead at all, and no one has actually won yet.

Clear, concise and factual reporting on this important issue for our region is desperately needed.

Regards, Lis Pedersen, Richmond.

On Anzac Day I was at my best friend’s home, celebrating her birthday and with an amazing group of woman, we were discussing Pink Ribbon month.

This is a time when we can bring together groups, donating money to an amazing cause – Breast Cancer.

I believe most of us, know somebody that has or is going through this life changing experience.

So instead of telling you about a store, I am inviting you to a high tea here at Fashion Island, on the 8th of May, Tuesday 10.30am, to support this amazing event of Pink Ribbon May. My aim is to raise $5000 for Breast Cancer Foundation. This is a great opportunity to get together with friends and family over a beautiful high tea and raise funds. The money will go to services for community outreach programs and also help woman recover from breast cancer and provide practical daily help for those living with life limiting breast cancer.

Tickets are available from my office at Fashion Island above Morrison Street Café for $25 pp, or by contacting me on 03 548 9191. There are only 200 tickets available, I would love to share this time with you in my centre, and give donations to such an incredible foundation.

I really look forward to seeing you at Fashion Island.

Some of the region’s unique pieces of art will be on display at Club Waimea this Saturday – once they walk through the door.

Ink’d 12, Nelson’s latest tattoo expo will showcase the best local tattoos, tattoo artists, crown “Mr and Mrs Ink’d 12” and feature top graffiti artists, body pierces, muscle cars, roller derby girls and burlesque dancers.

Brendan Benjamin of Out There Entertainment came up with the idea, having been to other tattoo shows around New Zealand. He says there had not been a simi-

lar show in Nelson for at least 18 months and it was something the industry was definitely looking forward to with more than 170 sponsors supporting it. “Nelson hasn’t had a decent tattoo show in a long time,” he says. “The tattoo scene has really grown. It’s not about being ‘thug life’ and criminal, it’s all about artwork and artwork that you wear.”

Tickets can be purchased at Everyman Records for $10. Entry will be $20 for competitors in the tattoo competition. There is limited door sales so it is requested that you buy tickets prior to the R18 event.

This Week

Over sixty years of laughter and marriage Andrew Board On the eve of 60 years of marriage and asked about her feelings for her husband of so long Heather Gray of Stoke replied: “He should have been smothered, not mothered”.

Fortunately, Bill – the husband in question – threw his head back in laughter, along with everyone else in the room.

She was only joking of course.

But it gives a pretty clear insight as to one of the reasons they have been together so long, their obvious sense of humour.

Bill and Heather met in a general store at Cheviot, North Canterbury. Bill was shopping with his brother and father and Heather, 18 at the time, worked behind the counter.

After they walked out of the store Bill’s father turned to him and said “there’s a nice girl for you.

Why don’t you ask her out?”

Later that day his brother asked her to a dance on his behalf and so began a lifelong love. Or as Bill puts it: “My Dad didn’t know much about women did he? Look what he got me stuck with.”

Cue raucous laughter.

Bill and Heather married one year later when he was 23 and she 19, they were married at the Cheviot Anglican Church on May 3, 1952. Their wedding night was spent at the Hurunui Hotel and their honeymoon at Fox Glacier.

Shortly after, Bill got a job at Glen Alton Station in South Canterbury where he earned nine

pounds a week and the family lived in a house with no electricity. But it was the manager’s job at Glen Wye Station in the Lewis Pass where the family spent the most time. Bill, then only 27, was in charge of a 63,000 acre station with numerous staff, an alcoholic cook, and power only until 9.30am.

The couple had three daughters and say they loved life on the station with daughter Helen able to recall numerous stories of hilarity, including throwing dirty stones at the clean washing after getting told off. The washing couldn’t be cleaned again for another 24 hours when the power went back on.

In 1973 the Gray family moved to Wangapeka where they bought their own 2000 acre farm, which they then sold just four years later for double the price.

It was then they moved to Wakapuaka, opposite the turnoff to The Glen to farm. Bill also started working as a fencing contractor and builder, especially when they sold the farm in 1987 and moved to Atawhai.

The couple now live in Stoke and say they’ve had a good ride. They started married life on a high country station with no electricity but will celebrate 60 years since then surrounded by friends, their daughters and family.

Bill reckons the toughest part of his life was spending it with a house full of females. “Don’t listen to him,” says Heather. “He’s lucky we didn’t knock him off.”

Right: Bill and Heather Gray on their wedding day in 1952. Above: Bill and Heather prepare to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this Thursday.

Livy Guyton and Torian Bryan make a splash for Funday Sunday at the ASB Aquatic Centre in Richmond. Funday Sunday is a fun, social event where kids of all ages can play games and enjoy aquatic activities. It was started earlier this year and is held on the final Sunday of every month. Photo: Rosie Thomsen.

Each week two photos from the museum’s “glass plate” collection will run in the Waimea Weekly and Nelson Weekly with the goal of exposing the photographs to more people.

Rockquest launches in NZ Music Month

The future of Kiwi music is tuning up in the wings, fittingly ready to emerge right during New Zealand Music Month.

Smokefreerockquest, New Zealand’s only nationwide, live, original music competition gets underway with Nelson heats on 11 May, in the first weekend of 45 regional heats and finals, leading towards the national final at Claudelands Arena in Hamilton on 22 September.

This year organisers expect close to 800 bands to enter – adding up to a total of around 3,000 aspiring musicians. The link between Smokefreerockquest and New Zealand Music Month is significant, according to founder and director Pete Rainey. “We’re into our 24th year and it’s the enduring nature of the event that makes its role in Kiwi music so significant – for some people it’s a springboard to huge success, while for others Smokefreerockquest is a tool in their roles as

music’s unsung heroes,” he says. “I’m talking about the likes of Ladyhawke acknowledging us as her first real gig, right through to the music teacher in Gisborne who uses this event as a prime motivator for at-risk students.”

The Nelson heats are at the Theatre Royal on Friday 11 May, starting at 7pm, tickets $10 at the door. The top 12 bands will go on the Nelson regional final at the Theatre Royal on Saturday 19 May, start time 7pm, Tickets $20 from Ticket Direct at the theatre.

At stake is a prize package that includes a NZ On Air new recording and music video grant worth over $10,000, a place on the NZ On Air Kiwi Hit Disc, musical gear to the value of $10,000 from NZ Rockshops, radio promotional support for a single, and video play on youth music channel FOUR. The Peasants, from Garin College, won it last year.

All welcome

Wakefield Scouts and Keas attended ANZAC Day ceremonies. Two local Keas, Hamish Wallace and Dominic Stringer are pictured laying the Kea’s wreath made with paper poppies created by the Kea group.

WAKEFIELD COMMUNITY COUNCIL REPORT If you are passionate about the Wakefield Village and want to get more involved, why not join the Wakefield Community Council?

There is no better time either, with the AGM being held at the start of the next meeting on Tuesday 8 May at 7.30pm. If you have an issue that concerns you or a project you think our Village needs, this is a great place to start. We would really appreciate hearing about any such ideas or projects so that we can proactively work together to make Wakefield an even better community.

At last months meeting we discussed several items which give rise to the following reminders. As property owners, it is our responsibility to keep all shrubbery and trees maintained so that they do not protrude over public footpaths. There ap-

pears to be an increasing number of “uncontrolled” dogs roaming around and leaving doggy doos in places where others might tread. For more information on your responsibilities regarding animal control, visit http://www.tasman.govt.nz/ services/animal-control. Finally, we wanted to advise the Wakefield community that we have received letters of apology from those involved in graffiti and other damage done to the Village Green recently, and to confirm that those responsible have been held accountable.

WAKEFIELD SCOUTS AND KEAS Our Scout group had youth and leaders from all our sections in attendance at the Wakefield Anzac Day ceremony - Keas, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Leaders. It was great to see so many of our youth taking part in such an important occasion.

IPADS FOR WAKEFIELD SCHOOL The Wakefield School PTA kindly raised the money needed to purchase an iPad for every classroom. Connor O’Toole and Johnny Carter enjoy sharing a story on one of the iPads. A Quiz night is being held on Friday 18 May in the school hall at 7pm to raise funds to further update ICT for every classroom.

MAINLY MUSIC IN WAKEFIELD Each week, parents and caregivers bring their children for a thirty minute session of music, rhyme, movement, listening and more.

The adults participate in the session, and in fact, it is vital that they do so, because this encourages the children to enter into the actions and singing.

Last term we had a Joseph and his Technicolour Dream Coat theme day. The children came dressed mostly in their dressing gowns. We learnt how loved Joseph was and that was why his dad - Jacob gave him the coat. We sang songs about rainbows, Alice the camel and much more.

If you have pre-schoolers and not much happening on a Monday morning please came and join us as we have lots of fun.

It’s on Mondays at 10.00am at the Wakefield Village Hall. Cost $3 per family. Please contact Wendy Milson 544 7596 for more information.

WOMENS BIZ MEETING This group met for the first time last Friday, and we were excited about the response, with more than 20 ladies coming from all over the district to attend. Thanks to Maureen and the team from Flat Rock Café who let us “take over” the café. Genie from Wakefield Print and Justyne from Hair Fairy kindly shared information about their businesses with us, which generated some great questions and discussion. Women’s Biz has been formed to provide an informal support and networking group for the very talented ladies in our area.

So if you are in business, or want to be in business, or want to network with those in business, then now is your chance! Women’s Biz meetings will be informal meetings for women to learn what others are involved in, support each other with information sharing and build business relationships and friendships.

NELSON HOCKEY The action is already underway with Nelson Hockey in preparation for the start of another adrenaline filled winter season. It’s a great sport for all ages and skill levels, with everyone in the family having the chance to get involved, and opportunities to take it as casually or seriously as you desire.

Nelson Hockey’s goal is to get as many kids as possible aware of the excitement of hockey and benefits they can get from the sport. It’s a great way to participate in an activity with their friends or make new friends, while staying fit and having fun.

Four representatives from Nelson Hockey visit the majority of schools in the Nelson region to promote games and learning basic skills. From the fun and fast paced game.

There is a Junior Academy available to serious players, giving them an opportunity to upskill and go further with the sport. Many national players found their roots in Nelson, including Anita Punt of the Black Sticks. “For a small region we have a lot of people who are doing extremely well,” says Craig Brett.

American dream Young footballer scores scholarship to the United States

Phillip Rollo News of a potential ASB Premiership side out of Nelson has come too late for one of the region’s top young footballers with Canterbury United youth captain Erik Panzer sealing a scholarship to the United States.

The former Garin College student will link up with Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut.

Quinnipiac is a private school with an enrolment of more than 8000 students. Its sports programme competes in the NCAA Division 1’s Northeast Conference.

Erik went over to the United States last year to prove his worth in front of top US college scouts. While there was immediate interest, it was only when the 18 year old defender led Canterbury United to the ASB Youth League title that the interest turned into genuine offers. Erik was approached after the final by Thorpe resident and former Garin College first XI captain an agency that helps get New ZeaErik Panzer has secured a scholarship to Quinnipiac Univer- land footballers on college scholsity in Connecticut.

Waimea quartet gain NZ selection Phillip Rollo Whatever is in the Waimea College water supply is certainly paying dividends for the school’s volleyball sector.

Four Waimea College students; Annie Eden, Brittani Harrington, Hannah Davenhill and Gracie Roberts have been selected in the New Zealand Women’s Under-17 volleyball team to compete at the Australian State Junior Volleyball Championships in Melbourne in June before taking on our Trans-Tasman rivals in a three-match series one week later.

Three of those players; Annie, Brittani and Gracie, are Year 11 students and were key members

of the junior girls volleyball team that won the South Island Secondary School title last year.

Hannah was in the Year 9 team that finished a very impressive third place in the same division.

The quartet will represent New Zealand for the first time but the nerves will be settled because of the amount of familiar faces in the squad.

Nelson College for Girls student Ellie Bell also made the team.

All of the girls were to quick to point out Waimea College’s successful coaching programme when questioned about bulk of the squad coming from Waimea.

They were excited about the prospect and hoped to make new friends along the way.

time before Erik was putting pen to paper on a deal with Quinnipiac.

The US college system has boded well for young New Zealanders with current All Whites Ryan Nelsen, Tony Lochhead, Jake Gleeson, Dan Keat and Michael Boxall all taking that pathway before breaking into Major League Soccer – America’s premier football competition.

Because Erik has a US passport he will not have to obtain a visa. He is likely to start in the heart of defence during his freshman year and says having a crack at the MLS will be his main goal over the next three years.

Quinnipiac Bobcats coach Eric Da Costa says the college had been tracking Erik for the past four months, getting to know his background first. “He has strong character and good values. I’ve enjoyed our conversations and there are a lot of

parallels between what we do here and how he views the game. Like any young player Erik will continue to develop over time, however, we like the foundation he already has to work off of,” says Eric.

Erik, who only moved from midfield to defense last season, is likely to fit the school’s mould of playing central defenders that can play from the back, he says.

Erik’s football season went to the next level last season after forming a strong central defensive partnership with Mark Johnston at AMI Nelson Suburbs in the Mainland Premier League. It led both players to Christchurch in the Canterbury United ASB Premiership squad.

Erik was one of five youth players in the senior squad and he made one appearance off the bench.

Erik will leave in August, before the end of the current football season.

Wanderers remain unbeaten

FAMILY FUED: Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers halfback Jackson Harvey will tackle his brother Loui Harvey when Galbraith Group Nelson come to town on Saturday.

Brothers set for showdown Phillip Rollo The first time brothers Jackson and Loui Harvey played against each other they were cheered on by more than 5000 people at the Botanics, re-enacting New Zealand’s first ever game of rugby.

This weekend the Harveys get another chance to go toe-to-toe when the two form teams in the Car Company division one, Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers and Galbraith Group Nelson, meet for the first time in five years.

Jackson has emerged as one of the key exponents in Wanderers’ currently unbeaten campaign, playing a pivotal role on the pitch and on the score sheet.

Still at Nelson College, Jackson opted to play in the Car Company division one competition so he could get game-time in the number nine jersey but has gone from strength to strength in his first year at senior level.

But marking Jackson at the Brightwater Domain will be a very familiar face – his older brother Loui. Loui has been an ever-present figure in the Nelson starting XV ever since

he finished school and will be doing everything in his power to make sure the formidable Nelson line-up take maximum points from their first trip past the Brightwater Bridge.

Nelson will be well-rested following Saturday’s bye, while Wanderers come into the match having played three times in seven days. Both teams will be out to take control at the top of the table, but bragging rights at the dinner table will be a side note to the four competition points the winning team will collect.

“It will be a good test for me; testing myself against my brother,” says Jackson. “If we can get up against Nelson in our first season back then we’ll be stoked.”

But Loui, who trains with his younger brother, was watching the game on Saturday and is clearly aware of what Jackson can do on the rugby field. “I’ll be going out all guns blazing because I have to make sure I’m still top dog,” says Loui.

Saturday’s match kicks off at 3pm at the Brightwater Domain, as early form suggests, both teams could face each other a lot more in the latter parts of the seasons.

Wanderers head into this weekend’s heavyweight clash with Nelson ready to have some fun.

Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers’ division one side are undefeated after five rounds this season, after entering a team in the top flight for the first time since 2008.

The club’s defending champion division two team is also unbeaten, as is its division three side.

Manager Frazer Lochhead says the club’s top team is excited and ready for the challenge of a “very slick” Nelson team, which is also unbeaten heading into this weekend. “We’ve got our 20 competition points in the bank so will go out on Saturday and have a bit of fun.”

The game, held at the club’s Brightwater fortress from 3pm, will provide a great measuring stick for Wanderers which battled to a hard-fought victory over Huia in Motueka on Saturday.

Wary of Huia’s sharp and penetrative backs, Wanderers’ plan was to simply deny them possession as their forwards assumed more prominence in a dominant second-half performance.

Wanderers led just 8-7 at the break, wing

Riley Johnston crossing for Wanderers while Huia were awarded the first penalty try of the season after a player was taken high close to the line.

Halfback Jackson Harvey’s normally reliable boot was astray this week, forcing Jesse Pitman into the kicking role, the first five-eighth obliging with a first-half penalty success.

A second-half try to number 8 Loa Windley gave Wanderers enough breathing space to just keep Huia out of reach, a penalty success to first five-eighth Jesse Rush providing Huia’s only second-half points as they struggled to get their hands on the ball.

Lock Damien Powick and flanker Callum Rogers were introduced to Wanderers’ pack and seamlessly joined the flow, with a well-functioning lineout also a critical part of Wanderers’ dominant effort.

The Wanderers division two side also played Huia in Motueka and – like its senior squad – secured a tough-fought win to remain unbeaten this year.

This weekend it will also play at home, hosting Nelson’s division two side with kickoff at 1.15pm.

Waimea Old Boys Rugby

On one and a half feet www.wobrfc.co.nz

Phillip Rollo

When his left foot was crushed by a bobcat’s steel bucket, Tom Cross thought his promising sporting career was over. Approximately half his foot had to be amputated after what he thought was just a broken foot. Tom was told running would be difficult and any attempt to return to the rugby field would be deemed mad – hard news for a teenager that lives and breathes the sport.

But the 20 year old has made it back on to the rugby paddock and despite playing through the pain barrier every time he takes one step, Tom’s impressive showings, particularly in last weekend’s second division loss to Wanderers, has given him new confidence that he can push on to the Waimea Old Boys division one side.

A talented first-five that can slot nearly anywhere in the backline, the former Waimea College first XV player had represented Nelson in most age-grade representative rugby teams prior to the accident in October 2010.

His first real test on his foot’s capabilities, close to a year after Waimea Old Boys division two first-five the work-related accident, was when he made his division one Tom Cross made his return to the rugby cricket debut for Wanderers over the summer period.

A’s lose to Stoke Scott “Macka” McKenzie

Waimea Old Boys were Stoke’s first victims of the year, going down 2919 at home on Saturday.

It couldn’t have started much worse for Star and Garter Waimea Old Boys, with a penalty off the kick off.

That penalty put Accessman Stoke straight on the front foot within the first three minutes of play.

This tested Waimea Old Boys’ character, slowly making some in roads into Stoke’s defensive line with strong ball running from Ben Jefferies and winger Michael Bates.

Josh Rutledge managed to put Waimea Old Boys in front with three unanswered penalties midway through the first half. Stoke playing into the wind, kept the ball in tight,

squeezing through holes in the fringes of the opposing ruck. This didn’t take them too much longer to exploit with a try to Stu Tunnicliff.

This woke the red and whites up with some outstanding forward play and Michael making another brilliant run though the Stoke backline. Dan Hytongue was on hand to dot down under the sticks just before half time.

Waimea Old Boys turned up at the break up 16–14 and heading towards the clubrooms they still looked in good position to grab a well needed four points to climb the competiton ladder.

But someone forgot to tell Stoke as it was all them in the second half scoring two more times to grab a bonus point. Waimea Old Boys take on Wakatu Marist this Saturday.

Winning start to the women’s season Francey Kara Yet again it was up to the girls to show the boys how it was done, claiming victory in their first game of the season 24-22 at Jubilee Park.

The two top teams from 2011, Waimea Old Boys and Stoke, started off with a hiss and a roar.

First points went to the visitors as both sides played some fast running code in the first twenty minutes. This was showed by some outstanding speed and aggressive tackling from both sides.

speed you once had. You’d lose quite a bit of that. Running in general, they didn’t think I’d be able to do it,” says Tom. “The limb centre in Wellington doesn’t make sports prosthetics so I just had to play with what I’ve got.”

Tom made it through the cricket season battling a sore ankle.

Every time he planted his left foot at the bowling crease he would feel the pain and agony. But he says the cricket season helped his transition back to rugby. “There’s a lot more rest in cricket between overs. I played touch in the summer as well and that was pretty easy too.”

Tom has formed a strong combination with Luke Thelin, ever since he moved from fullback into the playmaker role. He is adamant that he can push on to division one, but admits the pain in his foot is not allowing him to see through the 80 minutes. “It definitely hurts. I get to halftime and I just have to push through the pain. But you gotta do what you gotta do. I’d love to play A grade. You play rugby for your club so you can make the top teams.”

Tom has also taken over the goal kicking duties with surprising ease. “It’s not that bad. It’s pretty stable. But it’s good.”

He will just take the rest of the season “as it comes” but is definitely enjoying life back on the field. “If I get picked, I get picked.

I’ll take the opportunities as they come.”

Garin lifted their defensive pressure and it soon paid dividends as they restricted Rival to a miserly two goals while racking up 12 goals of their own.

Goal attack, Sjaan Hungerford found her rhythm early to lead Garin’s offensive circle. Shooter Livvy Nott combined well with Sjaan and slotted some nice goals despite the close attention and long reach of Rival’s Judy Totoro.

Garin’s cousins Makaila and Abbie Powick displayed a great understanding in the mid court and bought the ball through competently. Cheyenne Sigley made an impact off the bench at wing attack, where she put in a number of great feeds from the circle edge and was quick to any loose ball. Both teams landed nine points in the final quarter.

Garin have a number of new players on their roster and were without key circle defenders. However Dakota Sigley, more accustomed to goal shoot, answered the call from coach Sarah Rankin and donned the GK bib where she quickly established a handy partnership with Emma Greep. Dakota gave away considerable height however with great body position she was able to pull in a number of well timed rebounds.

While Garin held a 10–6 lead after the first quarter it was Rival that had the better second period and were in arrears by 16-18. Rival’s goal shoot, Susan Mathieson found her target well to be the

The proposals are contained in two documents: • The summary that was included in the 27 April 2012 edition of Newsline.

• The full document which outlines in greater detail the services the Council is intending to provide along with how they will be funded.

The above documents are available for viewing on Council’s website at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/rltp and during normal office hours at the following Tasman District Council offices: • Richmond Office, 189 Queen Street, Richmond • Motueka Office, 7 Hickmott Place, Motueka • Takaka Office, 78 Commercial Street, Takaka • Murchison Office, 92 Fairfax Street, Murchison And libraries: • District Library, Queen Street, Richmond • Motueka Library, Pah Street, Motueka • Takaka Memorial Library, Junction Street, Takaka.

Pursuant to Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977, the Tasman District Council gives notice of its intention to change the classification of portions of the Tapawera and Brightwater Recreation Reserves. The affected portions of the respective reserves are utilised for the following activities: Tapawera Recreation Reserve – Toy Library, and Playcentre Brightwater Recreation Reserve – Pinegrove Kindergarten It is considered desirable to change the classifications of the relevant portions of the reserves from Recreation Reserve to Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserves. This will more correctly align the current uses of the reserves to a more appropriate reserve classification.

The intention is to have current uses reflected in the reserve classifications. This process is essentially an administrative action and there is no intention to change any current activities on these reserves. Recreation uses on these reserves will continue as they do now, and those portions of the reserves will retain Recreation Reserve status.

Some car parking areas will be included in the change of classification process, but the car parks will remain available for all reserve users, as they are now. The change of classification for the Brightwater Reserve will be slightly larger than the land occupied by the Kindergarten at present. This is partly to minimise survey costs and partly to provide for potential expansion.

For plans of the portions of the reserves intended for changes of classification, and to make further enquiries, please contact Robert Cant at Tasman District Council – robert.cant@tasman.govt.nz, Ph 03 543 8400.

Submissions or objections on the proposed classification changes should be made in writing, to the address below, and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Monday 28 May 2012.
