Villagers hit again

by Wrights Monthly levy fees at Waimea Village will be raised to $304.52 if the owners of the village get their way.

That’s up from $182.75 residents currently pay and almost four times the $80 they paid just three years ago.

The latest increase, announced last week by Michael and Carolyn Wright, is another “kick in the teeth” for the 172 home owners in the village say the Waimea Village Residents Committee, which was fielding media calls about it before it even had the chance to tell fellow residents.

On average, residents pay $1939 in rates on the tiny homes, pay normal insurance, power and water bills on top of the proposed new levy increase. Realistically, say the residents committee, the levy covers the mowing of lawn in the common area and the removal of green waste.

The increase is the third in as many years with each increase being disputed and taken to arbitra-

tion. Many of the residents have just finished paying a $633 lump sum from last year’s increase and residents committee chair Jerry Rowland says he has real concern for the safety of some residents.

“We are talking about the most at risk people in our community and they are in tears, on my doorstep in tears. This man has lost touch with reality. Where does he expect these people, many of whom are on a fixed pension so no way of creating more money, to come up with this extra money? It is beyond me. I don’t know what to say, we will fight him. We have to. We cannot give up in the face of a bully. We cannot, this is blatant intimidation.”

Michael Wright did not return phone messages from Waimea Weekly and it is also understood that the law firm for the Wrights – McMadden, McKeekan, Phillips – is being investigated by the Southland District Law Society

Rifle muzzle brake master

Most long range shooters would know that in order to shoot further, have more energy, accuracy and beat the wind, you’ve got to go to a bigger rifle which comes hand-in-hand with a bigger bullet, a lot of recoil and the inability to spot your own shot.

After seeing a demand in the growing sport local hunter Greg Couper has designed a range of muzzle brakes that he SEE PAGE 2

“It suits the region to a tee.

There’s so many local people who enjoy motorsport.”

“Yes definitely, I’m all for it, 100 per cent. They’ve got to have somewhere for people to go.”

“It would be good to see something different like that in Nelson. There’s not a lot around for people to do.”

“Personally I think there’s not enough places like that around and it would keep our urban streets safer.”

Another huge levy increase Local muzzle brake master one of the best FROM PAGE 1 for alleged inaccuracies with its dealings with village residents.

The society refused to comment.

The annual rent review was given to the residents committee last week, it gives residents two options.

Option one will see the levy increased to $261.48 but requires the residents to drop all court proceedings and not to dispute the levy increase with an arbitrator. Option two is to carry on with the court case but face a levy fee of $304.52 per month.

Both options include costs of up to $50,000 for a court case that hasn’t even happened.

“But these are the sort of dirty tactics we’ve come to expect of these people,” says Jerry. “They want to

see us all out on the street, homeless and penniless.”

Tasman District councillor Kit Maling says the two options are basically a threat or inducement so the residents drop their court case.

“It’s hard to justify this increase when inflation has been running so low and we haven’t seen any improvement in the infrastructure.

What has changed from last year to justify the increase?” he says.

The residents committee confirmed its intention to continue with its court case against the Wrights in an effort to protect the repair and replacement fund, which should have more than $300,000 in it.

To date Michael Wright has refused requests by the committee to confirm if the money is there.

says ticks all of the boxes. His Nelson based business, Terminator Products, was born out of a love for long range shooting and a struggle with the recoil on his .338 three years ago.

“I had a .338 with a good brake from the States and it was the best you could get at the time but it was still beating out. I went up the Wairarapa shooting long range steel targets and after you fire 40 rounds your shoulder can’t handle it. So that’s where it all started, I needed to find a better brake.”

Greg says when he began searching for the perfect design, it seemed as though no one had tested them on a large scale, so he took matters into his own

hands, firing more than 300 rounds on his .338 trying out different brakes and taking note of the pros and cons.“It didn’t appear that anyone had tested them. So I acquired all sorts of muzzle brakes. NZ made, US made, I tested them to see what worked, what didn’t and tried to find a solution.”

Greg says that while a lot of people find a 7mm efficient, it’s about as big as you can go without a muzzle brake to cope with the recoil. While suppressors can work well on little rifles, they reduce a lot of noise but not a lot of recoil. “A suppressor on a bigger rifle has got to be huge before it would even start to work, because of the volume of gas. You can’t contain it in a suppressor. To fire the big guns you

have to be able to manage it and with the right muzzle brake you could literally lay down with the gun and fire it all day. Once the bullets get big enough it is painful to shoot them without one.”

Greg’s says accuracy and the abilty to beat the wind are benefits of his stainless steel muzzle brakes and that hunters are able to see their shot due to the reduced recoil. “You can lie down, make your adjustments, pull the trigger and watch your bullet hit because the recoils reduced enough to see what happens.”

Greg has sold more than 100 brakes to both local hunters and people as far afield as Holland and Australia, building anything from a full custom or semi custom rifle, muzzle brakes, fluted bolts and stocks.

Thief steals woman’s identity

Sara Davidson Richmond

In-home Colour & Design consultation

Sinead Ogilvie

A scammer has stolen the identity of a local woman to rip off people online.

In February Waimea Weekly reported that Gemma Sampson was refused entry to a Nelson nightclub because they didn’t believe the photo on her driver’s licence was her.

That story, featuring a photo of Gemma holding her licence was published online at the Waimea Weekly website and was from there stolen by the scammer.

Two weeks ago Gemma received a call from the Blenheim police station to say there had been a dodgy deal which had involved her licence details being used. Gemma learnt that a Blenheim resident had demanded to see identification from someone selling a cell phone before putting money in their account.

The scammer then sent a picture of Gemma’s drivers licence and the money was transferred.

Once it became clear that the seller had no intention of sending the phone after receiving the money, the person took their concerns to the police who soon learnt there was more to the story.

Constable Ian Mills, of Blenheim, says the thief in question was asked to produce ID in order to complete the transaction and went looking for a fake, stumbling across a photo of Gemma’s licence on the internet. “In this case the person

doing the purchasing wanted to see some ID due to bad experiences when buying online in the past. Put under pressure to produce ID the seller used Gemma’s drivers licence.”

It wasn’t just a one off occasion that Gemma’s ID was used illegally either, with several unsuccessful attempts made by different people to obtain credit from telecommunications companies also coming to light, including one case originating from Upper Hutt, near Wellington.

Gemma says it has only just dawned on her how much damage could have been done under her name and that it is lucky that the scammers were caught before they managed to do anything major. “I wasn’t that bothered until I talked to the police.

Then it kicked in that they could have done so much worse than they did.”

While not common, this isn’t the first time Ian has dealt with identity theft and he says although the attempts to use Gemma’s identity were picked up before any real damage was done, there’s a lesson to be had in what is put onto the internet.

Queen St clock to return The absence of the clock that graces Queen St has caused a stir after it was removed due to dodgy time telling, but residents can rest assured it will be back.

After telling the time at all the wrong stages of the day, Network Tasman, owners of the both the clock and the building it is housed on, have finally removed it for repairs.

Rose Barnes, owner of baku in Richmond says she has had customers want-

ing to know where the clock had gone and hoped it would return to it’s home once it was fixed. “I have had so many people asking me about it, wanting to know where it has got to. It’s so handy and people have been looking for it.”

A spokesperson for Network Tasman says the absence of the clock has indeed caused a fuss but assures the public it will be back as soon as repairs are made.

After suffering a bit of water damage

during heavy rainfall, the clock began telling the wrong time and a decision was made to remove it for repairs to coincide with earthquake strengthening on the rest of the building.

“It was quite a big job removing the clock, it required a hoist. The building is going to be renovated and once repairs are completed on both the building and the clock, it will be returned to it’s home on the side of the building.”

Concerned locals speak up over New World An open day was held last Friday where both Foodstuffs and the Tasman District Council provided information to the public about the proposed New World Supermarket earmarked for the corner of Gladstone Rd and Bateup Rd. Foodstuffs have submitted a private plan change request which is currently open for public submission. The meeting was held to field questions from local residents concerned with the plans and to provide detailed concepts as to what the building will look like and how it will be accessed.

A crowd of 60 turned up for the meeting, including Paramu Pl resident Ian Paterson, the chair of the newly formed Three Brothers Corner residents association which has been formed to promote those living in the area’s interests. He says although it was good the public were given the opportunity to get as much information as possible, he

Bruce Vercoe speaks at a meeting between Foodstuffs representatives and local residents. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie. doubted whether they would reach any agreement from the meeting.

“People in the immediate vicinity would rather the supermarket not go ahead.

We think by drawing together our collective wisdom that if the case did go to an appeal stage, it would give residents some protection and support.”

Key issues of concern raised at the

meeting were traffic, stormwater, noise and parking and whether there would be a spill over of staff parking into side streets around the supermarket.

With questions over the capability of Bateup Rd to cope with increased traffic, which is not due to be upgraded in the foreseeable future, Bruce Vercoe says the likelihood of the entrance being used as a service or secondary entrance was unrealistic. “The traffic report says use will be minimal but from local knowledge, 90 per cent of visitors are going to be using the Bateup Rd entrance, and it’s just not suitable.”

Roger Davidson, general manager property and retail development for Foodstuffs South Island, says they were pleased to present plans to the community for the proposed development.

The Foodstuffs private plan change request is open for public submission until 4pm Monday, June 24.

Motorsport park ‘almost ready’ Despite receiving the green light to go ahead with plans to build Tapawera’s $26 million motorsport park a year ago, developer Garry Adcock says the project remains in limbo pending outcomes from an ongoing Environment Court hearing.

The hold up is part of an “amicable” process that is necessary to sort out remaining issues after three appeals were lodged with the Environment Court.

The appeals to the court came after resource consent allowed planning for the park to commence in June last year. “We are just about there, but there are still

Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz some minor issues that need to be sorted out. Our first bridge to cross is to get the resource consent free of the courts,”says Garry. “Until we have clear permission to go ahead we have to wait it out.”

He says members of the public who are keen to see the motor sport park go ahead should know that it is getting closer to becoming a reality.“While it is frustrating that it takes so long, that’s just the

way the system works.”

He says once resource consent is free from the appeal the next step would be to organise promotional events and get in-depth design underway.“Basically we are at the start line with the engine running, but we just can’t put it into gear yet.

Lawyer Nigel McFadden, who is representing Garry, says he is “hopeful” both parties will resolve some of the issues of concern after he submits a report to the Environment Court this Monday.

The proposed site for the motorsport park is a 205-hectare block of farm and forestry land in Kohatu.

Plunger wows at brewers champs

Cafe on Oxford owner Guy McCracken’s use of a plunger wowed at the World Brewer’s Cup Championship in Melbourne two weeks ago despite a last mintue change to his routine.

After winning the New Zealand championship in April, Guy took his winning method over to Melbourne and was the only entrant to use a plunger, brewing an Auromar Geisha from Panama to perfection and earning himself a seventh placing.

It was the first time Guy has competed on a world stage and despite being up against 19 other countries put on a great performance. “I thought I would be nervous, but I didn’t put too much pressure on myself by watching many others perform their routines.”

Guy is already prepping for next year’s championship and is welcoming all customers to head in to the cafe for an award winning coffee.

Killer cats on the loose Two abandoned cats are causing havoc in a Stoke neighbourhood, killing pet guinea pigs and rabbits and even attacking people in their own homes, but it appears to be just the very tip of a huge cat problem.

Kelly Ilton says the past four months have been horrible for her and her family and she’s now too afraid to have her grandson come and visit for fear he will be attacked by the two cats. Her neighbour Leigh Alderson, a guinea pig and pet rabbit breeder, has had eight baby guinea pigs killed and eaten and one adult guinea pig that was pregnant at the time. She has also lost rabbits and has had to fence her entire section.

Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz Centre manager Donna Walzl says they took in more than 1000 cats and kittens last year alone, all of which were either abandoned, wild or strays.

“That’s an awful lot of cats and I don’t believe those figures go near the actual figure of what’s out there. We’re finding that it’s getting ridiculous and getting worse and worse and worse.”

She says colonies of wild stray cats are in areas all around Nelson, including two big ones at the Tahunanui back beach and at Cable Bay. She says SPCA has tried to trap some in the past but people destroy the traps and at $500 per trap they can’t afford to keep losing them. Donna also says pest control isn’t what the SPCA is supposed to be doing.

“We can’t do it, we don’t have the resources, the staff or the time. We just can’t get into it but it is frustrating.”

The Nelson City Council has a policy on dog control but not on cat control, leaving a huge loophole where wild cats go unneutered and uncontrolled.

In Aldinga Ave the problem started when a renter moved out of her house four months ago, leaving behind her two cats. The hungry cats have since been sneaking into homes and eating cat food belonging to other cats and even attacking cats in those

homes. Kelly says she’s been woken in the middle of the night by one of the cats attacking hers in her kitchen.

“When I jumped in to help my cat, it turned on me and started to claw me until I gave it a good shove and it ran for the cat door.”

Kelly has tried to lock her cat door at night but it drives her cats mad and she says there’s been no help.

“This has been going on for four months. We’ve contacted the council, the SPCA, police and the vet.

Everyone we could think of Aldinga Ave residents Kelly Ilton and Leigh Alderson and no one wants to know say two wild stray cats have been causing havoc in their about it.

SPCA can try to prosecute her but Donna says it is difficult to prove ownereven get near them.”

Leigh says it’s been horrifying watching her ship because the type of people who do baby guinea pigs and rabbits get snatched this don’t register or microchip them. from her backyard and watching the adult Donna says she feels for the residents in get attacked by the cat was the worst. “He Aldinga Ave and something needs to be just grabbed it and took off over the fence, done.

In the past we’ve probably picked grandchild of another neighbour.

Leigh says she’s been in touch with the up that role but we just don’t have the reowner of the cats via Facebook and she has sources to do pest control, that’s not what shown no interest is coming to get them we’re here for.”

Free lunch for needy community They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch but local woman Kay Peterson is providing needy people in Richmond with just that.

Kay, along with fellow members of the Holy Trinity Church, have gone out of their way to organise a free community lunch for people who she says are struggling to get by.

Kay says the idea to host a regular free lunch to those in need came to her after survey feedback from people around Richmond showed they wanted more given back from churches.

“I agreed that churches don’t really do enough for people outside their community, so I thought this would be a great way to help those who are

struggling to get by.”

The two lunches held so far have attracted 20 people and Kay says while they are open to anyone of all situations, the lunches are targeted at those who have a need for them.

“We’ve had everyone from a struggling beneficiary, a solo mum going through tough times to people who are just really lonely.”

The Holy Trinity Church has donated use of the hall for each lunch and Kay has found many local organisations and businesses have been happy to donate to the cause.

The next lunch will be held on June 19 at the Holy Trinity Church hall.

College Higher density housing welcomed goes hard Feedback from the Tasman District Council’s urban density survey has shown most local residents think higher density housing is long over due.

Public feedback has shown most people are keen to see an end to urban sprawl in favour of higher density development and that the TDC should be commended for welcoming public input with participants saying they though the idea was “practical, sensible and economical.”

Throughout the responses, places that were popularly earmarked as suitable for development were the areas from Queen St to Darcy St, Croucher St to Salisbury Rd, Hill St and Wensley Rd, with preference given to areas close to the CBD to cater to elderly and those with disabilities, a stance that is welcomed

by Nelson Grey Power president Neville Male.

Neville says that any development would need to be close to town to

enable easy access to essential services to older residents. “We would want to see access to transport, shops and the doctor close by to any planned development so that elderly residents are not isolated.”

Although he was supportive of the council planning for the future and looking at higher density housing, Neville says it will come down to affordability.

“We would be supportive of high density housing providing it was affordable and within reach of the older person in Nelson. Our view is that we want to see older people staying in there own home for as long as possible. We already have elderly people forced out of their homes, selling their homes to gain capital as they struggle to meet the costs of day to day living.”

Throughout the feedback given by the public there was a high demand for cluster or compact style townhouses that are “well designed”, “eco friendly” “warm and comfortable”.

out for hungry

Waimea College students are going hard out for the hungry and caging their house captains for 24 hours is all a part of the fundraising fun.

The college has joined forces with local youth groups Ignite Youth, Thrive Youth, Detonate Youth and Encounter Youth in a bid to raise $10,000 for Bougainville, Papua New Guniea during the 40 Hour Famine this weekend.

Student and social coordinator Katie Talbot, 17, who plans to live as a “bogan” during the famine says the entire school will be involved in events leading up to the famine which starts with their house captains being locked in a cage for 24 hours in the school quad.

With students taking part in mufti days, bucket collections or more unique activities such as running 40km over 40 hours, completing a 40km swim and giving up technology, the lead up will finish with the school

“It’s great that Waimea students are getting involved in the 40 hour famine in one way or another. It’s only one weekend but

it can make such a huge difference. Sometimes as youth we feel like we can’t change anything because we aren’t old enough or aren’t trained but this is one way we can get involved.”

As a result of a public meeting held on how to combat rising levels of vandalism and unruly behaviour, the Community Patrol was formed to simply be out and about, visible and approachable says Marty. “We are there for the community to make it a safer place. We are all of a volunteer nature and it’s nice to be able to give something back.”

The Community Patrol are out on Friday and Saturday nights, looking out for local residents.

A local piper has more than one unique talent to boast after making waves on the local bagpipe scene, she can also play the instrument with her eyes closed.

Caley Phipps, 13, of Richmond, has come off the back of some impressive wins recently taking out the “Novice 2/4 March” and winning a scholarship at the Nelson mini band and solo competition May Day. While the pint sized piper may be new to the competitive scene after entering solo competitions for the first time a year ago, she is fast becoming one to watch according to results from the NZ Open Solo Piping Championships in Dunedin held last weekend. Unlike the contest held in Nelson, Caley didn’t earn a placing in her D Grade class but took away from it some valuble lessons including experience playing in a large competition, being surrounded by other piping youth and strangely enough, how to perform with her eyes shut. “I was watching some A Grade pipers practicing and they had their eyes shut while marching so I thought I would give it a go.”

She says it enabled her to pretend she wasn’t on the board being judged but instead in a room playing to her tutor.

Caley says she will continue to enter national solo piping events while also playing as a member of the Celtic Pipe Band in Stoke.

brought to you by

Jetstar not coming to Nelson: I would like the extension, so we can get some flights to Ozy. Just a little one like Coolangattas airport.

Diana McClelland.

It’s happening, the media and Jet Star and airport authority are talking. Thank you Waimea Weekly! This is what we want - more public consultation and debate - because it has to happen, at some stage by an airline. Because we’re the fourth busiest in NZ [and that] equals lots of dollars for an airline to make and better for Nelson travellers.

The extension would be amazing and would do so much for Nelson.

It is a city dying a slow and painful death and when the ferry terminal is moved to Clifford Bay the final nail will be placed.

But if the airport was extended to allow larger jets in and possibly international flights it would open the whole region up. Unfortunately, the old and conservative population of Nelson would be totally opposed to this as they hate change and it would probably never happen.

James Burke.

Of course the busiest route is Nelson to Wellington, Air NZ won’t let you go anywhere in the North Island without going through Wellington first, it’s simply retarded. You can fly direct from

Westport to New Plymouth, which is further than Nelson to New Plymouth, yet, to get to New Plymouth you have to land in Wellington, get off, hike 900 metres, and get on exactly the same kind of plane, often with the same people you saw on the Nelson to Welly plane. On the way back it’s even more retarded, you get off, then back on, the same plane, same crew, it doesn’t move on the tarmac, no refuelling either, I’ve watched. Even if there was only two direct flights a day, it’d be better than all this on off on rubbish for a route thats about 150 km. Dez Tinee.

Yes, definitely disappointed! Competition would be great for Nelson.

Sharon May Patterson.

Mayor gets in boxing ring: Politics don’t come into it when he’s willing to step into the ring and go through all this for the cause. Takes guts.

Cheese business recreates history Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz It’s back to basics and back in time for local business owners Karen and Daryl Trafford whose cheese made fresh from their Tapawera farm is re hashing history out at the Grape Escape complex in Appleby.

Wangapeka Cheese business owners Karen and Daryl were approached to retail out of the historic site last year and a few months on they have well and truly made themselves at home, selling their pasture to plate cheese products from the same spot an operational cheese factory stood 70 years ago.

Although little is known about the story behind the original 1940s cheese factory, Karen says there is a touch of nostalgia about the building, which still features the original cheese cellar that was used by the mystery business in its heyday.

“I’d love to know more of the history of the building from when it was operational as a cheese factory. It is great to keep the ambience of the place alive.”

Wangapeka Cheese has been in business for two years now, offering “farmhouse” dairy products made with milk from Karen and Daryl’s farm. The duo share a passion for nutrition and animal welfare and Karen says the history of the building along with their values goes hand in hand.

“Along with our holistic approach to making cheese, it takes us back 50 to 60 years

Wangapeka Cheese owners Karen and Daryl Trafford are bringing the history of cheesemaking back to The Grape Escape complex. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie. into our grandparent’s era. A lot of the principles that were valued then are the ones we are using now. It all ties in really.”

Once they make a few changes to the original cellar, which needs to maintain an ambient 12 to 13 degree temperature to house cheese during the summer months, Karen and Daryl plan on bringing in other local cheese makers. “As we progress and get a

info@copyart.co.nz 247 Queen St, RICHMOND www.copyart.co.nz

little bit bigger I would love to open up the cellar for viewing. I’d also like to bring in a lot of local cheese makers and actually be a little hub for local cheeses.”

Grape Escape complex owner Bob Haswell says he saw the potential of having Wangapeka Cheese products on site and was delighted to have Karen and Daryl bring cheese back to the premises.

“It is fantastic to have them out there, we always wanted to bring back the history and the cheese aspect to the complex. It’s great to be able to utilise the cheese safe from the large cheese manufacturer that was based there in the 30s and 40s.”

Bob says he hasn’t been able to find out a lot of the history of the original cheese factory and would welcome any knowledge.

The Glenhope Railway Station at top and bottom locals who came along for a meeting about the station last weekend. its steady decline and part of DOC’s role is to preserve the country’s natural and historic fabric.

So far they’ve removed a veranda that was added much later, striped paint and re-piled the building. The focus has been on stopping the wildlife and weather from getting in.

“The one thing that everyone agreed on was that it should be used in some form. Not just left to rot. It’s the only station left in the Nelson railway system.

It’s quite special in many ways.”

John says it will take some time to finish the station because it needs to be done right but it’s great that so many people are keen to be involved. “We’ve got some careful historic work to do and we want to make sure the historical integrity of the place is retained. It’s very easy to botch that kind of work.”

Anyone keen to help in restoring the station can contact John at the DOC Nelson Lakes area office on (03) 521 1072.

The region’s last railway station is set for a new lease of life, with locals saying they are happy to help restore it.

The Glenhope railway station was built in 1912 and is the last station connected with the Nelson Railway still standing in its original spot. The Department of Conservation bought it off private owners two years ago and have since worked to stop its decline and now hope to restore it to its former glory.

DOC’s John Wotherspoon says he held a meeting with around 35 local landowners and enthusiasts last weekend to talk with them about what the station would be best used for. He says some exciting ideas came out of the meeting.

“It was very good, a very positive meeting and more than half of those there said they’d be happy to take part in working bees on the property and 11 said they’d be happy to be on a steering committee.”

Other historic railway stations in New Zealand have been set up for accommodation, a café and museums, says John.

The rush of cheering your favourite horse over the finish line is hard to beat and even if your pick comes up short you will still have a chance to win.

Book fair growing every year

Over the course of five weeks, John Parsons, Ed Book and Paula Roberts set up a chat room within the classroom for the 30 students to help demonstrate that sometimes people are not who they say they are. John also ran a parent session as part of the course and students were presented with certificates following its completion. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

More than 6000 bookworms attended the Founders Book Fair over the weekend, which opened its gates on Saturday to a crowd of people arriving early to browse the thousands of titles on offer.

Karen Clark, coordinator for the annual fundraiser, says opening day of the event was extremely busy with a mad rush of people arriving from the word go.

She says the book fair is growing every year and puts its success down to the great titles and selection on offer during the nine days.

Brian Parata, who was at the fair stocking up on books for his son, stumbled upon some “quite rare and amazing books” and was leaving with a bagful.

He says although some may think the days of buying books were numbered due to the readily available digital versions, nothing beats a book.

“Books are solid. The physical essence of a book, you just can’t get that electronically.”

The book fair is a major fundraiser for the Founders Heritage Park and will run until 4pm this Sunday.

Boxes of new titles are being put out on display every day and the fair is open daily from 10am to 4pm. Entry to the event is $2 per person.

Radio technicians brought in Nelson’s first TV pictures Nelsonians would have gone without TV until the early 70s if it weren’t for two experimenting radio technicians who just couldn’t let the idea of TV go.

Several years before the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation provided a regional TV service to Nelson, a private television translator was built and set up by Nelson locals John Ross and Errol Neal.

In the early days of TV in New Zealand, when it was years away from arriving in Nelson, John and Errol, radio technicians by trade, stepped up their efforts in the search for good TV reception, experimenting all over Nelson. John, 92, who now lives in Richmond, says they were always on the lookout for a clearer picture, after picking up relatively weak signals here and there. “Between January and April 1962, we hit upon the fact that channel 1 Wellington could be received in narrowly defined spots in town. We were constantly on alert for the slightest indication of possible reception able to provide TV to an area of Nelson on a much wider scale.”

After finding a good spot of usable field strength atop Princes Dr, a signal which originated from Wellington, John and Errol set their sights on providing TV reception to the people of Nelson.

The men kept news of their successes under wraps, because at the time they weren’t authorised to provide a signal to the public.

“As there was absolutely no television in Nelson, this was the time to use discretion. If we made it public that we could receive a signal from Wellington,it could have led people to believe that it was possible everywhere. We therefore sat on our findings and pressed on.”

Standing in the basement of an unfinished house on Princes Dr in April 1962, the duo received their first programme.

Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz John says they stood on a muddy, wet floor and watched the programme, although it is doubtful that they took any of the content in.

“When I say we watched a programme, we received a full programme but it was months later before we were ever able to concentrate on the screen. We were always too busy testing this and that, not to mention nursing our TV sets throughout their constant abuse of carriage from site to site.”

As their determination grew so did their support.

The Nelson TV Viewers Society was formed and John and Errol were officially granted permission by the NZBC to continue their work, with the corporation lifting all bans on private translators.The result meant that for the short term, John and Errol were able to meet the demand of viewers.

While the picture was snowy, viewers enjoyed the rewards enthusiastically, while John and Errol themselves were thrilled to be able to continue their work.

It was 1970 by the time the NZBC came to town, installing a high power transmitter on the Grampians and providing the community with a much clearer picture and demonstrating just how good the picture would be, a huge step forward for Nelson.

While the arrival of the new transmitter meant John and Errol’s own translators were dismantled and switched off, Nelsonians had them to thank for recieving TV several years ahead of schedule.

Time running out to view Roman Machines exhibition With just a month to go, the latest exhibition at the region’s museum is attracting record numbers says its chief executive.

The Roman Machines exhibition closes on June 30 and by that time around 3000 local school students would have been through it says Nelson Provincial Museum CEO Peter Millward and he is encouraging other local families to come and see it before it’s too late.

The Roman Machines exhibition has on display thirty workable machines including a Calcatorian crane, sea odometer and water clock all being the foundation of the technology used in recent times. Museum educator John Campbell says the message they want to get through to the public is to identify the legacy of what Rome left for us and how we use it today.

The exhibition has been a huge hit among Nelson schools so far. Enner Glynn school has sent all of its students to enjoy the au-

thentic Roman experience. Teacher Lesley Cross says the exhibition is amazing because it’s so interactive and hands on. “The students loved it, and we could have stayed there all day.”

Viewing the exhibition provides the viewer with a sense of the sheer magnitude of how big the Roman Empire was. An understating of the feats the ancients achieved is provided in an easily assessable environment.

“The Nelson Provincial Museum is so well run with knowledgeable staff that provides expert information,” says Lesley.

Wakefield School is another that has made the most of the Roman Machines exhibition says principal Peter Verstappen. “The students have identified that the ancients used the same problem solving skills as what we use today and the students are able to apply these skills with what they do in the classroom.”

Just a thought...

Recently many of us in our community were impacted hugely with what they say was a once in a life time weather event. As in such a short time houses, businesses and properties were flooded, causing an amazing amount of damage, our own church premises and neighbouring properties were badly damaged.

Many are presently needing repair, it seems that they weren’t designed to be flooded with up to one metre of polluted water.

In stressful events or in time of disaster we all react in different ways and in the recent flood I saw a lot of tears, I saw frustration and disbelief.

One person commented, “why God” another even said, “this is why I don’t believe in God”, another said “this is too much”.

In times of disaster there can be tears, there can be ques- Steve Rollo, tions, there can even blame, but Richmond thankfully there is always caring Christ. and love shown that will get us through.

In such times the question comes, why God? or even God how can you allow this, as a caring person working in community, who is often called upon the assist in difficult times, it can be so easy to say “why God,” however I do know that God has promised through His word (The

bible) that He will never leave us and there is nothing that can ever separate us from His love.

Yes the bible says there will be floods, there will be earthquakes, there will be seasons, there will be times to be born and a time to die, a time to weep and a time to laugh.

So the question where is God in tough times, again God’s word reminds me God is with me, he knows what we are facing.

I love the verse found in Psalm 56 that tells how much God cares for us in tough times.

“You have kept a record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in your bottle, and you have counted each of them.”

We have a promise that through God’s love, we don’t have to do life alone, the recent flood even brought people together.

Minister of Remember your local church Church of always has people who can help you through tough times should you need.

Yes we can stop and ask why, but we are looking forward to a big celebration when our premises are all repaired and also our neighbours back as a community, there is a new season coming, a time when we can look back, tell our stories that are now history, but enjoy a brand new season together.

Locals do well at karting champs Nelson’s karters hosted some of the best in the business over the weekend at the annual Sunbelt Sprint Championships.

The two day champs are held in Redwood Valley on Saturday and Blenheim on Sunday with the top scores over the two days determining the winners.

In the cadet class Nelson’s best was Josh Bradley who finished fourth, a great result considering it was his first time at the Sunbelts.

Jarod Fisher was Nelson’s best in the junior restricted class, finishing third. In the formula junior class Nelson’s drivers were lumped together with Clarke McFadzien finishing 7th, Hannah Ross 8th, James Hav-

ill 9th, Ben Stilborn 10th and Brodie Downing 11th. In rotax light Jamie Smith finished fourth, with Brendan Gridley in sixth, Liam Lotter 10th, Teneill Rasmussen 12th and Kevin Barker was 16th.

Mitchell Wilson was third home in the rotax heavy class. In the KZ2 class Matt Butchart was third, David Pinkerton fifth and Grant Kugener finished eighth.

Brendan Gridley says the event was another huge success with massive fields, especially in the rotax max light and heavy classes.

“We had really big fields which made for some great racing. It was really good to watch and be a part of. It was another really successful day for the club.”

Baptism by fire for Nelson U19 It was a baptism by fire for the Nelson Under 19 representative team when they met the Otago Under 19 side at the Queen’s Birthday Squad Tournament played in Christchurch during the weekend.

Nelson appeared shellshocked when they came up against their southern opponents which included former Nayland College captain and Nelson rep Michaela Matenga.

Nelson coach, Robyn Leonard said Michaela played exceptionally well, she had great movement and drove well onto the ball.

The 8am game meant there was plenty of time to go back, discuss and analyse and work out where they could make improvement.

The Nelson girls still looked a little tentative and had a shaky start in their encounter against Christchurch Under 19 and were down 15 – 8 after 15 minutes play. Ella Marwick worked tirelessly at wing defence where she pulled in three well time intercepts however the possession was not converted. The Nelson girls had a tendency to be stationary, not driving to the ball which gave the opposition room to pluck out the intercept. Generally speaking the Christchurch girls were a much taller unit and had a couple of very talented players.

In the second quarter, Nelson grew in confidence through court, with the introduction of goal shoot, Gemma Hika making an immediate impact. Goal attack, Rosa Edwards was able to switch roles which enabled her to be more a feeder. The period belonged to Nelson as they outscored their opponents 8 – 6, with centre, Kaitlyn Stringer putting in a number of superb feeds from the circle edge.

The goals dropped more frequently for both teams in the third quar-

ter, however the honours went to Christchurch 14 – 12. Nelson’s tall timber, goal keep Sara Reidie gave away a fair height advantage to her opposite, however she niggled away and was rewarded with a few rebounds and three intercepts against her name. Diminutive Georgia Wright boxed above her weight at wing attack when she put in some intelligent feeds.

In the absence of goal defender Freya Watson ( who was backing up the weekend with her other sporting code, volleyball) Ashley Laing had a tough assignment in marking her classy goal attack, however she handled it with aplomb.

Rosa Edwards put in a sterling defensive effort in the final period – she had an intercept, a rebound and three tip balls which were converted into possession.

Deanna Hunter came off the bench in the final quarter and although she only put up two shots she could be well pleased with her efforts as her movement allowed space for Rosa to dominate the shooting.

Nelson aggressively attacked on defence and created an enormous amount of turnover ball (53 in all) however they do need to significantly increase their conversion rate (which was only 10) The honours were shared at nine apiece to bring the score to 37 – 44. Coach, Robyn Leonard says she was thrilled with the improvement in her players. She says they are coming to terms with the new combinations, had better timing through court and the defence tightened considerably.

Victory for ‘huge’ boxing fundraiser

Victory was the buzz word for almost two thousand people at the Trafalgar Centre on Saturday night.

Victory for the twenty six local business people, sportspeople, a politician and others that jumped into the ring to help raise money for the Victory Boxing Clu. And victory for the club which has now secured premises thanks to money raised from the event.

Fight 4 Victory was dreamed up during a car ride from Christchurch to Nelson and aimed to raise awareness and money for the Victory Boxing Club which was rapidly running out of space for its almost 80 young boxers. The money raised from the night should be enough to secure the lease of a building on Vanguard St and help fit it out with equipment.

Each fight of three rounds was met with raucous encouragement from the sell-out crowd and organiser Paul Hampton says he was ecstatic with how it went. “I’m still pinching myself really. I just couldn’t believe the scene on the night and the feedback we’ve had has been amazing.”

Fighters included local rugby and rugby league legends, four brave women, a police officer, real estate agents, an orthodontist, Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio and his mystery opponent who turned out to be Bowater Honda CEO, Chris Bowater.

Each of the fights were even, with only one knock down and several draws. But blood was spilled, with half a dozen boxers bleeding from the nose by the end of the night and MC’s Murray Leaning and Mike King kept the crowd entertained between fights.

Former New Zealand boxing champion and Warriors captain Monty Betham was also in attendance, in the corner of Scott Gibbons.

All of the fighters appeared to be exhausted but exhilarated after their fights. Aldo says he was “buggered” after his draw with Chris. “It was really tough, jeez it was tough and Chris hit hard.

But it was for a great cause.”

Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz Paul says the event was a huge success but the focus has always been on the kids and that is why he is so happy.

“All the time it was about the kids. It’s overwhelming that a little boxing group looking after kids feels like it has a whole city behind it.”

Mike King says he’ll be back “for good”.

“I’m locked in for the next five years. I’m part of this for good. It’s one of the best events I’ve ever been a part of, it’s been awesome.”

He says the confidence the kids get from boxing is the reason he agreed to come down. “The best part for me was raising awareness for what these guys are doing. It’s not even about boxing, it’s about changing young men’s lives. Giving them confidence, giving them respect not only for other people but for themselves and the growing confidence within them. Just by being there last night and supporting these kids they’re adding to the confidence these young kids are getting and Nelson is going to see the benefits of this in years to come. A lot of these kids are right on the cusp, they could go either way, they could be influenced by gangs, they could be influenced by bad parenting.”

Trainers for the night were Barry Galbraith, Dean Rackley, Dion Hall, Steve Mitchell and Murray Fifield.

Jeff Rackley, Paul, Barry, Ali Lawley, Emma McCashin and Pete Harris were the organising committee that put the show together. Paul says once the dust has settled planning for 2014 will begin.

“We haven’t thought about it yet but it was such a great night and we’ve had so much interest, I think we have to go again and it will be great for Victory and our wee club if we do.”

Wanderers Club Day 8 June 2013

The Brightwater public and wider community will get their chance to watch their club teams live when they hit Brightwater domain this Saturday. Taylors Contracting Wanderers Club Day will commence at 9.30am with juniors teams taking to the pitch headlining the day will be Wanderers Division 1 taking on Kahurangi at 3pm. Wanderers Sports Club offers a family fun day to the Brightwater community with junior and senior talent on display at a well-respected club. Club manager Diane Drogemuller says a vision for Wanderers is to continue the grassroots following and maintain strong positions in senior grades across all codes. “Wanderers pride themselves on their community spirit with a determined set of volunteers as the backbone of the club. The club is full of enthusiasm with people willing to get off their chuffs and do things,” says Diane. “Club day offers the chance for members to see what their comrades do in their chosen sports. It’s about bringing the club togeth-

er, the small ones seeing what the big ones do, and the big ones seeing what the small ones do.”

On the day the action will not all be on the playing field the club will be selling raffles with top prizes including a Crusaders jersey, microwave oven and assorted electrical products. Refreshments will be available all day with a hangi and live music seeing out the evening.

Division 1 Rugby: Wanderers Division 1 Rugby go into Club Day unbeaten where they will be looking to continue their winning run when they take on Kahurangi at 3pm on the main field. Wanderers are top of the Nelson competition and are currently top of their pool in the Tasman Trophy. Cocoach Dan Perrin acknowledges the importance of the next two games seeing them as vital to stay top of their pool and secure a finals position. Wanderers are looking forward to the home support on Club Day and value the community feel of the club. “The reason wanderers got back into division 1 rugby is to

give the guys in the surrounding community the opportunity to play top flight rugby in Tasman,” says Dan. Division 2 Rugby: The Wanderers Division 2 Rugby team currently sit mid table and are looking to push their way up the ladder this week when they take on Takaka at Takaka. Coach Aaron Everett admits Wanderers Division 2 have not been as dominant this season as they have in the past due to a bag of mixed results.

“We are looking to get a win this week and build our confidence back up with the goal of making the playoffs,” Aaron says. Wanderers Division 2 provide a solid feeder team for Division 1 with young players being groomed for promotion at higher levels and several of the team undergoing trials for the Nelson Under 20s team.

JAB Rugby: The youngsters are the strength of the club boasting 16 junior rugby teams ensuring a positive outlook for Wanderers senior rugby. The vision for Wanderers

Junior Rugby is in the development of young players with an emphasis on the upskilling of coaches to improve basic rugby skills. Junior administrator Ant Strange says they want to get tackling and passing right from day one.

“The relationship between junior and senior teams is an important part of Wanderers Junior Rugby. We want to make sure there is a very good path way there for our juniors because they will be our senior players in ten to fifteen years’ time,” says Ant. Club day provides an opportunity for juniors to impress their future senior club teams, with senior players attending the games showing their support and giving advice to junior players.

League: Wanderers Rugby League is under a whole new setup with Duke Climo and Laurie Kirdy coaching the team. Wanderers Wolves are having their best season yet and this is put this down to a very good effort from a whole new structure and using the clubs depth. The strength of the team is the “unity in a team of players who want to play for each other,” Duke says. Harley Thompson and Lindsey Tangiora are two Wolves who have impressed this season for their solid work rate an abil-

Waimea Bs can’t get over the line

Brent “Stew” Stewart

Nelson took on Waimea at Jubilee Park on Saturday with the winner simply wanting it more.

Perhaps Star & Garter Waimea sat back on the miss-conception that Nelson where a sure win for them but it was obvious from the first blow of the ref ’s whistle that no one had told Nelson about that.

The mood for Waimea was set at three minutes gone when Paul Burt lined up a penalty and although he gave it an all mighty thump the accuracy missed – this type of luck appeared to hinder Waimea all game as they spilt ball from inaccurate passing and didn’t have their set piece running on song.

The lineout ball was average to be polite –

in fact that’s not correct, awful would describe it better when they simply handed Nelson about 90 per cent of their lineout ball. When Waimea needed to dig in and show some spirit they lost one of the few men showing determination when Nita Laveicihelotu was given a rest for 10 minutes by way of a yellow card.

Many words were spoken at halftime and with the Waimea team heading home towards the clubrooms they should have had some fire in the belly but perhaps Nelson’s halftime team talk was more on key. With five minutes gone in the second half Nelson slotted another three pointer and Waimea felt the blow of first blood in the half like a knife to the heart. Or perhaps it was simply that Waimea where letting Nelson feed off their mistakes and literally handing them

the play that made the red and whites drop their head and simply exist in the game for the next period.

What was for certain is that when Nelson forwards created an unstoppable rolling maul for a push over try it was a long way back for Waimea. Luckily the try went unconverted to place the score at 11-0 in Nelson’s favour.

Waimea made some changes and the boys who had made hard work of watching from the bench showed good impact. Play appeared to be on the turn with Waimea seemingly finally acknowledging time was disappearing fast. That was until another yellow card was dished out this time in the direction of replacement blindside flanker Dale Russ. It wasn’t until his return to the paddock that Waimea gained

some control, with excellent pick and goes.

They were rewarded with a penalty about 30 metres out. This time replacement Sy Keelan faced up but alas no success – score still 11-0 to Nelson.

For the next 15 minutes Waimea fired up and took the ball up front to a tiring Nelson side, with some sustained pressure Waimea finally broke the line after infringements

by Nelson gave them a penalty only five metres out – from this distance it’s always going to be hard to stop big number eight Sha’non. Sy converted the try and Waimea hit the scoreboard at 11-7.

Despite Waimea being hard on attack at the final whistle this was it, the final score 11-7 in Nelson’s favour. This Saturday sees Waimea take on arch rivals Stoke at Greenmeadows.

Waimea Water Augmentation Project – Lee Valley Dam Project Management – Request for Proposal

Richmond Unlimited AGM

The Waimea Water Augmentation Project is a joint Community/Tasman District Council initiative. The project aims to ensure that there is enough water in the Waimea catchment to meet the current and future needs of irrigators, industry and urban users, as well as manage water quantity and quality for cultural, recreational and environmental reasons. The project has many facets – planning and regulatory, infrastructure, community and stakeholder relations as well as funding. The proposed Lee Valley Dam is the key physical work.

The Waimea Water Augmentation Committee (WWAC) is a community group that was formed to help resolve the acute water shortage problems of the Waimea Basin. Tasman District Council has provided the WWAC with project management, coordination and administration resources to date. The project has reached a point where the scale and complexity demands further dedicated project management in particular areas. Council is now looking to appoint a Project Manager to work with Council, the WWAC, water users and the community on a number of specific tasks that need to be progressed as part of the overall project. These tasks are likely to be spread over a two year period.

The project management task is strongly focused: • Land access and purchase • Resource Management Act matters including providing support for the resource consent process • Managing budget and work plans • Conditional tendering for the Dam • Governance and ownership arrangements

5.30 pm, Tuesday 9 July 2013. Meeting to take place at Miles of Food, Queen Street, Richmond. For further information, please email info@richmondunlimited.co.nz

Rural decisionmakers invited to participate in survey Landcare Research – Manaaki Whenua is conducting a survey of farmers, foresters, and other rural decision makers in late June and July. This nation-wide survey is Internetbased and is intended to take 15-20 minutes to complete. Topics include demographics, farm/forestry characteristics, succession plans, risk tolerance, profitability, information sources, farming/forestry objectives, management practices, and attitudes. This survey is independent of the Council. The combined results will be made publicly available.

Landcare Research plans to invite approximately 700 rural decision makers in the Tasman District to participate in the survey. If you would like to participate, please send an email to surveys@landcareresearch.co.nz.

Make a Beanie competition 2013 Motueka Arts Council latest project is the Make a Beanie competition. A fun activity for winter! Knitters, sewers, needle workers can use any materials to construct a beanie during the next couple of months. Any ages can enter and there are multiple categories. It is hoped to display the Beanies during the Motueka Festival of Lights-mid July to mid August. Entries close 25 July 2013. Prizes will be awarded to the best in each category. Entry forms at Potters Patch and Needleworx in High St; - download from www. motuekaonline.org.nz or email motuekaartscouncil@gmail.com for a form.

Funding Expo

• Stakeholder relationships and engagement.

This project is a major one and if the Lee Valley Dam proceeds it will be the largest community project the District has undertaken, based on likely cost. We are looking for a person, or a consultancy, with the skills to take this project to the point where a decision is taken to proceed (or not) with the Dam. A copy of the Request for Proposal is available www.tasman.govt.nz or by contacting Pamela White at Tasman District Council pamela.white@tasman.govt.nz Proposals must be submitted by 19 June 2013.

Consent to take water subject to water metering The Measurement and Reporting of Water Takes Regulations 2010 requires the reporting of water use for the whole calendar year 1 July to 30 June each year, rather than just the summer season.

However for the majority of “seasonal water users”, to assist you in meeting the Regulation requirement of weekly readings during winter, Council will accept a final reading and duplicate this reading through until October in preparation for summer water use. Telling the Council when water use ends (autumn) and recommences (spring/summer) is very important so that the Council discretion can work.

For consent holders who use water all year around e.g. industry and frost protection, you are required to make water meter returns every week. For consent holders who have ceased water use please make a final reading. For those who have already let the Council know you have ceased water use, thank you.

If you commence water use before October, please contact the Council on 03 543 8400 or visiting any Council Office.

The truth about grit Did you know that a gritted road is only marginally safer to drive on than an icy road? You only get 15% more grip than on an icy road.

In winter driving conditions, there are a number of things you can do to be safe on the roads – allow more time for your journey, increase your following distance and watch out for ice in shady areas on bridges.

Friday 7 June 2013, 9.00 am – 3.00 pm, Hope Community Church, Ranzau Road, Hope.

A free and informative day of guest presentations, interactive displays and networking opportunities to assist not-for-profit and charitable organisations within our communities.
