Found after 10 days missing Emily Beaumont Reporter

emily@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Richmond’s Hart family never gave up hope, even as they entered into day ten of the search for their beloved family pet, Pip, the 9-year black Labrador. Their determination combined with Pip’s resilience saw a happy, albeit dramatic, home-coming after Pip survived a 1015 metre drop over steep and hostile terrain in Marlborough’s Branch Valley on Thursday, April 12. Roger and son Lee had headed into the bush for the roar with Pip loyally by their side when, just on dusk, she plummeted over a steep bluff, leaving Lee in disbelief as he heard “three distinct thuds” as she disappeared. Efforts to reach her were in vain, the terrain proving too treacherous. With diminishing light and near white-out conditions, the father and

son made the heartwrenching decision to call it a night. “As horrible as it is, we had to worry about our own safety,” says Roger. The pair used their GPS beacon to lodge co-ordinates and retreated to a hut. Over the next two days they spent the entire time searching, attempting to access the “fall zone” from various routes, grappling against open slopes peppered with mini Douglas-fir trees that added further risk by cunningly camouflaging sheer drops. The pair made the sensible decision to leave the bush on their expected return date and seek help. Resolute in finding their adored Pip, a helicopter took to the skies and the family went in every other day scouring the area on foot, a six-hour return car journey to reach the vicinity of the fall zone. After ten days a decision was made to give it one final shot.

Finally Pip’s bark answered

calls and Jack discovered Pip enveloped in dense bush, 700 metres from the fall zone. Unable to get up, severely dehydrated and with blowflies on open wounds, the rescuers knew Pip needed veterinary attention fast and

a call went out for a chopper. Flown to base, Pip was transferred to The Vet Centre in Richmond where Lee’s sister Samantha Carmody kept a watchful eye over her treatment. There’s a long road of recovery ahead of Pip, and she may yet have to undergo

the amputation of a rear leg and spinal surgery, but with the devoted Hart family by her side “everyday she seems a little brighter”. Follow this link to donate toward Pip’s recovery https:// givealittle.co.nz/cause/pipthe-labradors-recovery

Pole strike leaves residents in the dark

DOC has sights set on rabbits and cats Emily Beaumont

Emily Beaumont Nearly 900 Richmond homes were left without power after a recycling truck reversed into a power pole on Waverley Street at 3.25pm on Friday, April 27. The truck’s sole occupant did not sustain any injuries and, according to a witness, remained in the truck until it was confirmed the power had been switched off. In total, 897 customers lost power with 694 having their power restored by 3.40pm. Network Tasman says the remaining 203 customers had power restored by 10.50pm that evening.

Battle for the Banded Rail A Waimea Inlet Forum project is taking place this Sunday, May 6, from 9am-1pm at Maisey Embayment and everybody is welcome to lend a hand at the community planting day. The project aims to increase the number of banded rail and other

In the on-going battle to protect native birds and lizards, an animal control operation is scheduled to be undertaken in the Teetotal Conservation Area. Shooting will happen on fine nights during the hours of darkness between the dates of Monday, April 30 and Friday, June 1. The control area begins approximately 2km west of the self-contained camping area/ mountainbike carpark. As the area will not close while shooting is in progress, the Department of Conservation (DOC) is urging people to avoid the control area at night during this

period. Signs will be erected at the entrance to Teetotal when shooting is occurring. John Wotherspoon, operations manager at Nelson Lakes visitor centre, says this is the first scheduled shoot in a long time. “Feral cat numbers are really picking up so we’re heading out to shoot rabbits so we can use their meat as bait in the cat traps, and obviously we’ll shoot feral cats if we see them” says John. “The cats start picking on birds like the weka when they have a declining rabbit population to prey on, and they’re really hard on the geckos and lizards so we need to keep on top of them.”

Talbot St roundabout has been causing confusion for some motorists during roadworks being done in Richmond’s CBD. Photo: Amy Russ.

Richmond road rage Amy Russ Tensions seem to be running high for some people with the amount of roadworks going on around Richmond. Wednesday afternoon, April 25, it seemed to hit a whole new level at Richmond Mall carpark, with some motorists having to wait over half an hour just to get out of the carpark to Talbot St. With both south-side entrances closed off and it being a public holiday, the carpark was at full gridlock around 2:30pm, people even turned to Facebook to vent their frustrations. One shopper who was there on ANZAC day said “it was definitely a problem, but people

just need to be patient. It’s not forever, and when the works are finished, the roads will be so much better.” The general consensus seems to be that, while inconvenient, it will be worth it in the end and for people to allow extra time at peak hours. TDC community relations manager, Chris Choat, says, “we acknowledge the temporary changes on Talbot Street will be causing some traffic issues at peak times, but we are asking people to please be tolerant, the congestion is for a short time as we enter the final weeks of the Queen Street upgrade. It is annoying for some, but it is all contributing to a more resilient town centre.

For the short time we are asking drivers to be courteous of residents’ needs and avoid the area in peak times unless necessary.” Work on Bateup Road is also underway in preparation for the widening of the road and to create a shared walkway/ cycleway, in order to make it safer for all types of users and help cater for extra traffic with subdivision growth and a new supermarket planned for the area. As well as widening the road, they will be replacing a roadside drain with piped stormwater and some stormwater storage chambers. The road is only open to one-way traffic from Three Brothers corner to Wensley Road.

Nelson Matters Bouquets and brickbats are deserved from this year’s Anzac commemorations. My bouquet goes to the thousands of people who attended Anzac services across the region and those who helped organise these events. This is a huge show of respect for the scale of sacrifice generations of Nelsonians have made in our armed services from the Boar War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia and Afghanistan. Silent gratitude is not much good to anyone. I am proud as a Kiwi that far more New Zealanders participate in Anzac Day than many countries on their equiva-

lent remembrance days. The RSA chose this year to focus on the mental health cost that our returning service men and women suffer. This was aptly illustrated with the story of the tragic suicide of Nelson architect, Sgt Roland Chadwick in 1918 after five years’ service in the medical corps from Gallipoli to the Western Front. I thank the many who ensured the success of Anzac Day commemorations. People like Nelson RSA President, Dave Lawes, Parade Commander Derek Nees, Brian Ramsay who organises the services at the Wakapuaka and Marsden Cemeteries, our dedi-

cated bugler Mason Robinson and the hundreds of volunteers between the Nelson City Brass Band, Nelson and Districts Pipe Band, our Army, Navy and Airforce Cadets, the Male Voice Choir, Anzac Quartet and Kia Karanga group. I contrast this collective showing of respect for our armed service personnel with the ongoing campaign by Nicky Hager and Jon Stephenson to discredit our service men and women on their work in Afghanistan. Labour and NZ First deserve a brick bat for their decision to initiate a Government inquiry into their book

Tasman District Council’s new CEO will begin work on May, 28. Since the current CEO Lindsay McKenzie announced his retirement last year the Council has undertaken a wide search for a replacement. Janine Dowding has been selected to lead the Council. Living locally, the current Ministry for Social Development regional commissioner, moved to the region over 20 years ago. She has experienced first-hand the growth the District has undergone and the challenges it faces in a Janine Dowding future of rapid change. “I am delighted to have been appointed as the next Chief Executive Officer for the Tasman District Council,” says Janine. “The communities within the Tasman District are very close to my heart and I feel privileged to be able to work alongside a talented senior management team to help lead and support the Council to achieve wonderful progress for the region.” In selecting Janine, Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne says “the Council was very aware of the challenges we face over the next few years and the need to maintain the positive change the Council has undertaken throughout Lindsay’s admirable tenure. “We have a come long way over the last seven years however, the journey is never over. With this in mind it was important we attracted a candidate with strong managerial experience combined with a wide knowledge, experience and appreciation of the area we serve. “While the District and Council have much to thank Lindsay for, and his legacy will be a long standing one, we look forward to welcoming Janine when she joins Council as Chief Executive.”

“Hit and Run” and it was tasteless announcing it just before Anzac Day. Afghanistan is an ugly hell hole. Islamic bombers last week killed over 30 innocent people in Kabul at a voter registration centre. These Islamic extremists conduct mass murder to stop democratic elections or girls getting an education. We can sit on our comfortable couches tut tutting about such atrocities but it is our brave armed service personnel who confront this barbarism. I have no problem with questioning and debate over whether armed intervention is the best

way to bring peace to a troubled part of the world like Afghanistan or Syria. I favour diplomatic solutions wherever possible. My problem is the questioning of the integrity of our brave armed service people. The anti Vietnam protestors wrongly vilified our soldiers. I do not doubt that innocent people have been injured or killed by allied military operations in Afghanistan as is inevitable in a war zone. My confidence though, is in New Zealand’s armed services today. They are as brave, professional and deserving of respect as the generations that have served before them. Advt.

Mayor Shots away this weekend keen for drug testing drivers Emily Beaumont

The decoys will be set and camouflage nets draped ready for the start of the annual game bird hunting season in Tasman this Sunday, May 6. A section of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail passes close to the area where hunting occurs and will be closed between midnight and 10am and again from 4pm until mid-

Random drug testing of drivers is a necessary tool in the struggle against the increasing carnage on our roads, Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne says. Responding to the Associate Minister of Transport, Julie-Anne Genter’s, indication that funding for proposed random drug testing of drivers by police is questionable, Richard said the minister may not appreciate the devastating impact on communities affected by drug driving. “Unfortunately, it is a fact there are an increasRichard ing number of drivers Kempthorne on our roads under the influence of cannabis and P. It is even more unfortunate that these drivers are involved in crashes causing death or serious injury – we have seen that all too clearly in Tasman District. “To not support efforts to combat this rising threat and provide a deterrent to the behaviour effectively gives drivers who choose to drive under the influence of drugs a free pass. “We all know the success the drink driving campaigns have had over the last few years but they have also had the back up of appropriate testing. Without a strong reason to suspect drug use, our police are not able to carry out roadside impairment tests for drugs. With the power to carry out random testing they would have the opportunity to prevent drug-induced accidents. “I personally – and I believe this is a sentiment shared by the wider community – want our police to be the fence at the top of the cliff rather than simply joining the ambulances at the bottom. “Knowing what caused a crash is one thing, identifying those at risk of causing one before it happens is better.”

Huge turnout for ‘Ride for Respect’ Amy Russ Reporter

amy@waimeaweekly.co.nz

On Saturday, April 22, motorbikes from Nelson/Tasman, and around the country descended upon the Tahunanui Bowling Club. The carpark was packed out with bikes and people about to embark on a ‘Ride for Respect’, to raise funds for local Returned Services’ Associations (RSA). Tribal Nations MC Te Tauihu Region hosted this year’s Nelson Ride of Respect event. Organiser Colin Agnew was stoked with the turnout, “it was awesome for the first time that we’ve done it, it was a great turnout. Made it a really good day. There were 95 bikes, and about a third of them were two-up, so around 150 people altogether.” The event is a national ride with different cities and different clubs organising different rides, but all with the same goal in mind, to ride in remembrance of those that have served our country and to raise funds for the local RSAs and the Fallen Heroes Trust. Participants took off from

Nelson RSA, riding to Motueka RSA via the coastal highway. After lunch they returned through the Moutere Highway, stopping to pay their respects at the Ngatimoti Cenotaph, before finishing up at the Waimea RSA. Rider Rod Barnes, who led the ANZAC dawn parade on his motorbike, says, “being a returned service person myself, I know why a lot of people are there, for lost loved ones. The thing that amazes me is a lot of young ones are turning up at the services now and learning about what happened 103 years ago.” This is his third ‘Ride for Respect’ and says there was a brilliant bunch of people at the event. “To stop off at Ngatimoti, and put a poppy there, was something special. The whole day was a very enjoyable experience.” Waimea RSA president Ross Norgate wanted to thank Colin and the organisers for putting together such a fantastic event, “I would like to say a personal thanks to them for including us in this year’s ride and for their wonderful donation to the RSA Welfare Fund. This is the first time we have been included.”

WEDNESDAY 2 May 2018 Ben ‘Tito’ Caldwell from Brightwater is never short of material for his comedy shows thanks to his large family. Photo: Supplied.

Stepping Up Date: Friday, 4 May at 10.15pm Venue: Ghostlight Theatre, 146 Bridge St, Nelson

Finding the humour Being a step-parent isn’t easy at times and 30 year old Brightwater-raised comedian Ben ‘Tito’ Caldwell knows that all too well. His wife had three adopted kids when they first met, all of them have special needs. To complicate things further, they added another two children between them. His life over the past four years makes up the backdrop of his brand-new show, Stepping Up, which will make its debut at Ghostlight Theatre during the Nelson

Fringe Festival. Tito didn’t really comprehend the gravity of change he experienced in such a short space of time until he started going to counselling to deal with stress, anxiety and depression. “I’m a pretty easy going person, annoyingly so for my wife, and I came into our relationship thinking that everything with the kids would work itself out. Looking back, it was naive to think that. I became a dad to them pretty much overnight. “I’d gone from being single and not having

to think about anyone else, to all of a sudden having to think about how my decisions would affect four other people, now six, and it’s still taking some time to adjust to that,” says Tito. Always looking at things from a comedic angle, Tito says comedy has helped him through the difficult times and being able to laugh and joke about some of the more stressful experiences has been therapeutic for him. While in Nelson, Tito will also be running a stand up comedy

workshop for people interested in jumping up and giving it a go. Having run workshop for The Comedy Hub based in Palmerston North, he believes that anybody can be a comedian. “If you’re passionate about it, that’s half the battle. I try to teach people real basic fundamentals, and if you have a good base to build upon then generally people are successful.” Tickets for the show on Friday, May 4, at 10.15pm and the workshop are available from Eventfinder.

Bands and soloists will battle it out on stage this Saturday, May 6, during Smokefreerockquest and Smokefree Tangata Beats Nelson and Marlborough heats at the Theatre Royal in Nelson from 1pm. Waimea College bands boast 10 of the 15 band entries while Brooklyn Scott from Garin College, Krystal Hollis and Mia Coldicott from Waimea College and Intermediate respectively will be representing in the solo competition. They’ll all be among an estimated 3000 aspiring music artists to go through regional heats and finals in 24 towns from Invercargill to Whangarei. Summah Simmons and Jewel Whimp from Waimea College band Acoustic Knot say they’re looking forward to the competition and enjoy the opportunity to compare themselves to other bands from the region. Founder and Director Glenn Common says, over the past 30 years there has been tremendous support from schools who value the framework these events create for their students to strive for success, express themselves and gain NCEA credits.

“This is often mentioned as the motivator that keeps kids engaged in the school system. Teachers can see the benefits that being in a band brings - kids learn to cooperate, to negotiate around their differences, to express their thoughts and emotions in words, to front up on time, to promote themselves and their ideals. And performing live on stage is a great boost in confidence – it requires a lot of skills that are not just musical.” First and second in the solo/duo and the winner of the Tangata Beats award will be named at the heats, and the top 12 bands will be selected to play off at the NelsonMarlborough final at the Theatre Royal on Friday, May 18, from 7pm. Competition is bound to be fierce with national winners’ prize packages for bands and solo/duo winners that includes $22,000 in Rockshop vouchers, $16,000 NZ On Air recording, video and promo package, a photo shoot and branding package from Imaginary Friends. There is also the Musicianship Award, the APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) Lyric Award, Best Song Award, Smokefree Vocals Award, Fatboy Style Award, and the People’s Choice.

But the similarities stop there, as miso can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner, and with everything from sashimi to steak and a bowl of white rice. Found everywhere in Japan, from corner convenience stores to the finest restaurants miso is a fermented, unpasteurised soybean paste packed with protein, beneficial micro-organisms and amino acids which adds flavour and depth to soups, stews and marinades. Believed to stimulate digestion and energise the body, everybody

interested in learning more about this essential ingredient for many Japanese dishes is invited to attend a talk at the Richmond library on Thursday, May 3, from 12-1pm, by Mie Maeda, co-owner of Urban Hippie in Nelson, the only company making traditional handmade miso in New Zealand. Mie will be talking about miso, as well as the history of Japanese fermented food and the health benefits of miso. “You might have tasted miso in soups made at local Japanese restaurants. “Miso has a lovely “umami” or savoury flavour and it’s a real “slow food” – sometimes taking years to mature,” says Mie. Koha is welcomed and appreciated.

Club stalwart remembered at ride

Emily Beaumont A highly respected and much-loved member of the motorcycle fraternity will be remembered on Sunday, May 6, during the annual club champs for Top of the South VMX club in Tadmor. Ray Anderson was a member of the Nelson motorcycle club from 1947 until his passing in 2003 and spent 52 years as secretary or treasurer, as well as being a member of the Motorcycling New Zealand (MNZ) executive in the early 1960’s. “He was a bloody hard worker and very much an institution of the club. If you needed anything done, he was the go-to man,” says Janine Pope, long-serving club member. Ray received the service award medal from MNZ in 1996 and also the Nelson community service award in 2002 for long-standing and valuable contribution to the sport of motorcycling. Ray raced all over the country and was involved in most motorcycle businesses in Nelson until his retirement at 65. The Ray Anderson Memorial Classic Trophy recognises this contribution and is raced for by a different class each year that is drawn on the day, giving all senior riders the opportunity to race for the trophy. All the classes race for the club champs and the Tapawera Hotel cup for the overall club champion. The 2018 event is proudly sponsored by Morley Motorcycle & Marine. Food & drink are available on the day with the profits going to the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter. Sign in from 7.30am and racing starts at 9.30am. For more info and entry form, see www.sporty.co.nz/tosvmx or phone Rob Anglesey (03) 522 4007.

RDA fair’s pony rides a hit Emily Beaumont The April 14 fair at the Richmond Riding for Disabled (RDA) centre once again attracted a number of families to enjoy the variety of activities and displays on hand. The annual gathering is the largest fund-raiser for the RDA which helps 67 people from across the region who face physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges. Their participation at the RDA is life-changing and horses

are the backbone of the programme, alongside volunteers. The pony rides were a firm favourite on the day with little girls and boys happy to queue for their turn. “I like going on pony rides because it’s really fun and the pony feels really soft,” says 8 year old Abby Grooby from Wakefield. Performing in the ring was Lusitano stallion Zefiro with trainer Eleena Kennedy of Classical Equestrian Art, which proved to be a crowd-

pleaser. Many children were trying their hand at archery and painting ginger-bread horses, and also releasing energy on the bouncy castle at the funfilled fair. Administrator Jenny Stebbings says, while takings were down on previous years, they were still very grateful for the $4000 raised. “It was a good day, I think everyone really enjoyed Zefiro and once again the pony rides proved popular,” says Jenny.

Don’t suffer in silence. If you have unwanted hair, skin tags, or red veins, make an appointment with our local expert in her field – NZ’s longest standing Electrolysis specialist – Anne Michelle. “People often try to deal with it themselves, getting frustrated,” says Anne Michelle. “When it comes to hair removal, I believe that electrolysis is the only permanent solution there is. Treatments like IPL and Laser only attack the hair, which is going to moult naturally anyway.” When you have a consultation with Anne Michelle she will explain the different stages of hair growth. The two forms of electrolysis she uses to form the Blend technique, which permanently destroys the hair-germ cells, stopping the follicle from ever producing another hair. This can take a number of sessions, lessening over time till permanence is achieved. “Women, especially in their fifties, can develop skin tags around the neck, under arms and around the bra lines.” Anne Michelle can take care of these, too, in the quiet comfort of her discreet room located inside Tasman Health and Herbs in the heart of Richmond Mall. For more information visit www.amelectrolysis.co.nz and call Anne Michelle today on 027 393 503. When it comes to purchasing a quality firearm or ammunition, the specialist gunstore Kelly Country is the place to go. Manager Nigel Johnson is armed with decades of experience in the field and is happy to share his knowledge and expertise with his customers.“I’ve been in the shooting game since I was 14, and have competed internationally,” says Nigel. “At Kelly Country we try to tailor the firearms to what the customer needs; we can ask questions such as ‘what are you using it for?’ and ‘what time of day?’ and make recommendations accordingly. At Kelly Country there is a broad selection of firearms in stock. “We have a great range of Sauer firearms, and we currently have some good deals on Weatherbys. Another steady mover is the Howa brand, and we also stock Australian-made Lithgow rifles and German-made Mausers. We also have a very good range of second-hand firearms available.” Kelly Country is located at 37 Ellis St, Brightwater.

Splash Time Pools are changing their name to Narellan Pools. Their other business, The New Gate Company, can provide you fabulous fencing for your new pool. If you want a new pool installed by Christmas, you need to order it now. But you don’t want just any old pool – you want a Narellan. With over 37 years manufacturing experience, Narellan Pools NZ has established an international reputation in the swimming pool building industry for its innovative designs and individual concepts. Fibreglass Narellan pools all feature smooth, non-abrasive surfaces for easy maintenance, with a wide choice of colours, shapes and sizes to meet your lifestyle preferences and budget.

“They are the top selling fibreglass pool in Australia,” says Julie. “They are drop-in pools—great for swimming— people can often start using them within three to five days of the pool going in. But if people want them in before Christmas, they need to start thinking about putting their pool in now, because council permits can take up to seven weeks. If you sign up for a Narellan Pool before the end of May, you can get a free pool cleaner worth over $2,500.” Julie and Glen are so passionate about Narellan Pools, they are changing their business name from Splash Time Pools to Narellan Pools. And they also want people to know about their other fabulous business—the New Gate Company. “If your pool requires fencing because it needs code compliance, we can provide a special package deal if you would like both a Narellan pool installed and some fencing work done.

Huge weekend of rugby at Jubilee Park Friday night saw the start of the Tasman Women’s club competition, with Waimea Old Boys women’s team comfortably beating local rivals Wanderers, 49-20. Coach Adam Fraine was particularly pleased with the continuity the team played with and feels the team is developing well at this early stage of the season. Adam noted that the integration of a group of new players to the game has been well managed by the team’s experienced players and management. The team is developing good depth in player numbers and a culture to be a part of. Player of the Day for Waimea was front row forward Steph Mitchell.

Saturday morning was the junior clubs open day and the start of Saturday morning rugby, with around 300 boys and girls taking part in games and coaching sessions assisted by the club’s Senior A team squad members. It was a fun day for everyone involved and it was well organised and led by the great team of volunteers at the club. The Senior B team also kicked off their season with a close win over neighbours Wanderers 19 -18. The team is primarily a young side with a sprinkling of experience through it. Coach Scott McKenzie, in his second season with the team has developed an attacking

approach that augers well for this young side. The senior B team is working closely with the senior A side at trainings and this combined approach is enabling both teams to work on the technical and tactical sides of the game in a very competitive environment. Player of the Day for the Senior B’s was prop Tom Williams Saturday also saw the HLS Waimea Old Boys senior side have its third win of the season in an exciting game against Marist at Jubilee Park. The final score of 31 -24 reflected the willingness of both teams to attack. The Waimea pack was in dominant form at the set piece, and are consistently

creating a good platform for the backs to attack from. Winger Mo Tau dotted down for his fifth try of the season and always looked dangerous with ball in hand. Man of the Match for Waimea was second fiveeight Mike Stringer, who had a strong game defensively and was always a threat with the ball in hand. The weekend was a huge success with the senior club having its third win from three games and junior rugby starting with a well run, fun morning of rugby. The club is looking to have an under-18 side team this season and any players wishing to play should attend Thursday nights training at 6pm at Jubilee Park.

Young adventure racers dig deep to take title Emily Beaumont Already fatigued and with cramp setting in, the Waimea Adventure racing team of year-13 students, Maggie McLean, Cameron Jones, Mac Karalus and Luke Born dug deep on the home straight to emerge winners of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Adventure Race held in Hawkes Bay over the weekend of April 13,14,15. “We were all pretty stoked having put in so much effort,” says Cameron. The authentic adventure race has core disciplines consisting of mountainbiking, walking/running and navigation, and includes rope skills and tube rafting. Racing over 12 hours, the teams of four faced both physical and mental challenges while covering the scenic course designed by experienced adventure racers. “The tube rafting was a bit of a highlight for us. We had to make our own raft using four tyre tubes so there was a bit of creativity involved there,”

says Cameron. Using those home-made rafts to conquer a 19km paddle down the Tukituki River which flows from the Ruahine Ranges to the Pacific Ocean, the team were soon sweeping past others whose rafts were not so well-built. “It was a lot of fun hooning down the river, there were just enough rapids to make it fairly exciting,” says Cameron. The race is dependent on collecting points from around the course by undertaking random tasks such as sheep drafting, golf, high ropes, abseiling, thistle grubbing, plate painting, stone stacking, team work challenges and puzzles, among others. It was collecting points that snared the team the victory, as while a number of teams set off on the home biking leg, they opted to hit another checkpoint. “If we hadn’t taken an extra 15 minutes to get more points, it could have been a different result,” says Cameron.

With points deducted if teams went over the allocated 12 hours to complete the race, the Waimea College team took a gamble, spending an extra 15 minutes on the orienteering course to gain points before managing to complete the final 37km bike ride home with just eight minutes to spare. Now the team has their sights

set on the Hillary Challenge, a five-day adventure race through Tongariro National Park, where they’ll be joined by another four Waimea College students to compete as a team of eight. “We’re looking forward to it, we had a great time there last year and came second. This year we’re hoping to take out first,” says Cameron.

Valley Stags roll out new strip May is Kickstart Compost Month Want a better solution for your food scraps and garden waste? For May only, Nelson City and Tasman District Councils are increasing their compost subsidy from $20 to $30 (inc gst). Subsidy coupons can be used for compost bins, worm farms or bokashi buckets. Participating retailers will also be running their own compost activities for beginners, with a limited number of free compost bins sponsored by the Councils. Check out the Council’s Facebook pages for news, tips and spot prizes about Kickstart Compost Month.

let’s get food waste out of the bin and grow great plants and food instead!

WORKSHOPS For more information and to find out how to register, go to nelson.govt.nz/ compost, tasman.govt.nz/link/composting or contact the retailers. • • • • •

Thursday 10 May, Bunnings Warehouse, Nelson Saturday 12 May, Mitre 10 Mega, Nelson Sunday 13 May, Mitre 10 Mega, Motueka Wednesday 16 May, Ecoland, Nelson Saturday 19 May, Community Gardens, Takaka

$30 subsidy coupons are valid for purchases through participating retailers in May only. One per household.

Responding to the challenge of attracting and retaining senior players in rural areas has resulted in a new rugby team formed by the Murchison, Tapawera and Rangers rugby clubs. The newly-formed Valley Stags rugby team launched their new strip on Saturday, April 21, at the Moutere Hills Community Centre in the second division. The Valley Stags aim to have a competitive country rugby team that epitomises traditional country rugby values of strength, determination and toughness. Saturday’s pre-season game saw the Valley Stags up against Takaka, where they came away with a solid win, 50-22. Many people have been instrumental in the forming of the new team and they’d like to express their gratitude to Anthony Martin and his team at Pro Rugby for coming up with the new team design and producing the uniform in time for the launch. The Valley Stags will continue to welcome new players, so if you’ve been thinking about signing up for this season’s rugby it’s not too late to get along to a training. Tuesdays 6pm Upper Moutere, Tuesdays 7pm Murchison, Thursdays 7pm Tapawera.

Jacks off to flying start in netball comp

Britta Read was first overall, and the first woman over the line with a time of 58.19 mins, at the Spooner Tunnel run held on Wednesday. 232 people participated in the event, including 12 teams. Damian Christofis was the first man across the line, with a time of 60.10 mins. Alan West was the first walker back, with a time of 105.05mins.

Defending champions Jacks OPD got off to a winning start as the House of Travel Nelson Premier Netball League got underway on Thursday night. The competition favourites were relatively untroubled as they cruised to a comfortable 40-26 victory over Richmond F45 to start their season. Netball Centre manager Lindsay Filiata said there was a lot of nervous energy at Saxton Stadium which showed as both sides shot sloppily in the opening exchanges. However, Jacks soon came into their work and goal shoot Hannah Mead found her radar, sinking some superb goals from the edge of the circle. Captain Jessica Drummond was a terrier for Jacks and their defence went from strength to strength as the 2017 champions started to play accordingly, dominating all areas of the court. Jess says it was a solid start to the season. “It’s always good to have a win first up, we had a lot of cobwebs and are still trying to gel as a unit, so that was a good result.” In other results, Nelson College for Girls went down to Stoke NBS 62-53 and Prices Pharmacy defeated Waimea College 53-33. Saturday saw the start of the senior competition at Saxton. The match of the day saw Nayland College pip Collingwood by a solitary goal. Collingwood came storming in the last quarter but Nayland managed to hang onto their slim lead and escape with a round one win. All Nelson netball competitions will be up and running by May 12.

Richmond claw back Andrew Board

Load control saves you money Load control is a mechanism that Network Tasman and many other lines companies use to manage the demand that heating water places on the electricity network during ‘peak’ demand periods, typically in the morning and early evening on the coldest winter days.

Load control allows Network Tasman to shut off devices such as electrical hot water cylinders for a short time, using a ripple control system, then switch them back on during low-demand ‘off-peak’ periods. As a result Network Tasman can keep costs down and pass those savings on to our consumers. Cheaper prices for water heating are shown on your electricity bill as a line called ‘controlled’ or ‘economy’.

Richmond Athletic came storming back from two goals down to snatch a point against Nelson College at Jubilee Park on Saturday. After a strong first half, Richmond looked to have let the game slip with two good goals to College’s Josh Creswell and Christian Benitez either side of halftime in the Nelson Bays Football first division match. After Benitez’s goal, College enjoyed a dominate 20 minutes with Richmond struggling to break through midfield. But with 15 minutes to go, Richmond’s Pavlo Urban gave himself some space on the edge of the box and placed a right-footed strike to the top right corner of goal. That lifted the spirits of the home side and seemed to have shifted the momentum of the game. When Richmond’s second goal, a free kick to Matt Wastney, flew in it was hardly a surprise and made for an entertaining final ten minutes,

Controlling the load in this way doesn’t impact on how you use your hot water e.g. to wash your dishes, do laundry or have showers and baths. Our aim is to ensure that you don’t even notice that load control is being used. RC LAN

happy with the fight his team showed. “We played really good football in the first half, and we probably died off a bit, but we came back strong. It was probably our best game, today.” Nelson College coach Davor Tavich says the result is secondary to how his team plays. “There’s still a lot we have to work on. There is a few issues but it’s still early. We had a lot more possession in the second half but we need to show composure in and around the box. We have too much excitement when we get the ball there.” In the round’s other games, Nelson Suburbs beat FC Nelson 1-0 at Saxton Field with the goal coming off a FC Nelson player, while Rangers AFC has continued its strong start to the season, beating Tahuna FC 4-0 at Tahunanui. That means Rangers sit at the top of the table with 9 points, Nelson College and Nelson Suburbs both have 7 points with FC Nelson rounding out the top four on 6 points.

Your advanced meter will display “LC” if hot water heating is switched off by our load control system. “LC1” will be displayed if hot water heating is enabled. Visit www.networktasman.co.nz to see if load control is in place.

Load control helps save consumers money because it reduces the transmission charges that Network Tasman pays to Transpower. Network Tasman also doesn’t have to invest so much money upgrading the capacity of its local network to cope with ever-increasing peaks during network busy hours. “As an example,” says Network Tasman’s Regulatory and Commercial Manager, Emma Lanigan, “in the next five years a new transmission grid exit point needs to be built. If we didn’t have load control, this investment would have been needed approximately 6 years earlier and customers would already be paying for that in their power bill.” “Deferring investment keeps our network at a level that’s in line with what the community actually needs and, in turn, keeps electricity prices down. It also means we can take advantage of developing technology and innovation as alternatives to traditional network supply become available. “Management of peak load through hot water load control by Network Tasman saves the company and its customers more than $3 million every year. This equates to around $76 per customer per year.”

In slightly unsettled autumn weather, the Nelson KIA Senior Open & Masters Tournament wrapped up the summer tennis season at Hope Club this weekend. The tournament enjoyed an array of players from as far out as Christchurch and Auckland. The men’s open singles quarterfinals provided riveting spectator tennis, with the number one seed Torban Otway (Marlborough) being pushed by Zac Lyttle (Hope Club) to a lengthy battle, Torban prevailing 7-5, 6-3. Auckland’s Blake Taylor upset the seeding in a mammoth match against young local player Alex Brogan, both players bringing on their A game, Blake’s big serve and volley combination keeping him out of trouble to take the win 7/6(4). 5-7, 7-6(4). No 3 seed Oscar Symonds reassessed his game

after the first set to dominate the second and third set, taking the match win 5/7, 6/1, 6/4 against Jordan Edwards of Christchurch. The men’s final continued in the same impressive vein as the quarters with Torban meeting number two seed Taylor Bianco (Hope). Taylor called on reserves after the first set, fighting for every ball to take the second and finally the win over number one seed Torban, 5/6, 7/6, 10/6. The competitive women’s doubles went according to seed with the number one pair Jo Coman & Denise Marshall (Hope) proving their ranking with a comprehensive score in the final, 9/3, against second seeds Alice Anderson(Tahuna) and Loretta Hogg (Nelson). Mixed doubles play was halted due to rain.

Join in an evening of magic in Sundial Square

Funding available for fencing

Take Two

Keeping livestock out of rivers and streams is important for water quality. While we have rules about discharges from livestock entering waterways, we can also offer help to those wishing to fence off streams to keep stock out. Our River and Stream Management Fund provides advice and financial support to help protect waterways. The fund can provide landowners with fencing materials for approved works, riparian planting and management advice. Creating a riparian buffer is the single most effective way of reducing faecal contamination and sedimentation in streams, while planting riparian buffers further reduces contamination and sediment, as well as providing shade, habitat and food for native fish species and other aquatic life. Find out more: More information is available on our website, www.tasman.govt.nz (search phrase: River and Stream Management Fund). You can also contact Resource Scientist Bernard Simmonds for details at Bernard.simmonds@tasman.govt.nz or phone 03 543 8446.

Step right up to the greatest show in town! Fresh from its extended run at movie theatres, The Greatest Showman will be screened FREE in Sundial Square at Take Two – an evening of circus-themed fun for the whole family. • Outdoor movie – The Greatest Showman!

• Jugglers

• Acrobatics

• Circus workshops

• Magic show

• Stilt walkers All the performances and activities are free, and there will be food available to buy. Movie starts at 6.00 pm. Bring your deck chair and rug up for an evening of magic under the stars. Rain date: Sunday 13 May.

New plantation forestry rules now in effect

May is Kickstart Compost Month! Have you been thinking about what to do with your food and garden scraps but not sure where to start? Kickstart Compost Month is for anyone wanting to start composting, set up a worm farm or try out a Bokashi bucket. For May only, we are increasing our subsidy from $20 to $30 for buying a compost bin, worm farm or a Bokashi bucket. The coupon, which can be downloaded from our website (search phrase: compost voucher), is available for Tasman residents from participating retailers and is for purchases in May only. Participating retailers will run compost activities for beginners later in May, with free compost bins sponsored by Tasman District Council for a limited number of participants. Check for dates in the 11 May Newsline or on www.tasman.govt.nz. Let’s get food waste out of the bin and put it to work growing great plants and food!

Special Grants Fund open for applications The Special Grants Fund, designed to encourage and support significant new events or projects within Tasman District, is now open for applications. The fund allows us to provide a larger financial contribution (upwards of $10,000) to special events that will benefit our community, providing a range of opportunities and experiences to residents and visitors. Up to $50,000 is available each year, providing we make a surplus as a result of extra growth throughout the District. In years where there is no surplus, Special Grants funding will not be offered. Find out more: You can read more about the criteria and application process for Special Grants on our website – visit www.tasman.govt.nz, search term “Special Grants”, or contact Community Partnerships Coordinator Mike Tasman Jones on mike.tasman-jones@tasman.govt.nz. Ph. 03 543 8400.

New national rules for plantation forestry came into effect on 1 May 2018, changing the way all regional and unitary councils - including the Tasman and Nelson councils - must deal with existing and new commercial forestry operations. The National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry (NESPF) over-ride the Councils’ existing planning rules. The NESPF applies to any plantation forest that is at least 1 hectare, has been planted for commercial purposes and will be harvested. Anyone carrying out a permitted plantation forestry activity in Tasman District should check whether they are required to give written notice to the Council. Information is available at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/NESPF. You only need to contact us if you are creating new forest or harvesting within the next six months. We will contact all known registered woodlot owners with further information about the requirements within the next few months. Find out more: Information about the NESPF is available on the Ministry for Primary Industries website www.mpi.govt.nz.

Moturoa Rabbit Island track closures Harvesting near Hunter Brown on Rough Island Some minor temporary closures are expected on Rough Island in April/May 2018 to allow safe harvesting of trees. Please adhere to signage and barriers, and use alternative routes provided. Map of harvesting area

The game bird hunting season in the Tasman region opens on Saturday 5 May 2018 and closes on Sunday 30 July 2018. A section of Tasman's Great Taste Trail passes close to the area where hunting occurs and will be closed during set times on Saturday 5 May for the first day of the game bird hunting season. The trail will be closed: • From Ravensdown on Lower Queen Street through to Lansdowne Road. • Between midnight and 10.00 am and between 4.00 pm and midnight. People are asked to use Lower Queen Street as an alternative route during this time. Signs will be installed along the trail to advise people that recreational hunters will be in the area. The trail will be open during the rest of season, but users should exercise caution and be aware you may hear shot gun blasts. For further information, contact Tasman District Council transportation engineer Robert Deck: Ph. 03 543 8636. Email: robert.deck@tasman.govt.nz

Different route best option during Lower Queen Street works Drivers are advised to avoid Lower Queen Street between Gladstone Road and Headingly Lane over the next month or two to avoid delays due to roadworks. The recommended diversion will be advertised using mobile sign boards. The diversion isn’t compulsory and Lower Queen Street is open, but there is a much higher likelihood of traffic delays as the work progresses. The roadworks are needed to support growth in Richmond – we’re increasing the water supply and improving the ability to drain stormwater in the area. For more information search www.tasman.govt.nz for Lower Queen.

Community Grants open Are you planning a great community event or project – but need a little help to make it happen? Applications for our Community Grants are open now and close on 31 July 2018. Funding is available for Tasmanbased projects that meet a community need and have community support. Priority is given to projects that can show financial support from other sources as well. Online applications: This year we’ve shortened the time you’ll need to spend online. Visit tasman.govt.nz/link/grants to download the Community Grants from Rates Application Form. Work on the application at your own pace – and save as you go. Send the completed application back to us using a simple online form.
