Goodbye front yard, hello road

Wensley could be widened by 14 metres Phillip Rollo Some Wensley Rd landowners could be forced into selling off their front yard, if council’s plans to widen the road in ten years time go ahead.

Traffic volumes are expected to rise from 4000 per day to 10,300 per day by 2020. To accommodate those figures, the Tasman District Council has earmarked the hilltop segment of Wensley Rd and spots near intersections as areas that could be widened from its current 12 metres to 26.5 metres.

Some Wensley Rd occupants are unhappy with the idea that their native bush and garden could become a bustling major arterial road. Wayne Mackey says if half of the proposed 14 metre widening occurs on his side of the road, it will come up to his kitchen. If all 14 metres occurs on his side of the road, he will lose his house.

But Tasman District Council transport manager Gary Clark says a 14 metre widening is worst case sce-

nario.

Wayne, along with his wife Karen, sent a letter to all Wensley Rd residents informing them of the council’s plans. Wayne says without his letter, none of the residents would have even been aware of the proposal. “There seems to be a lack of information from the TDC. What we do know is that they propose to widen the road by 26.5 metres.

Past our property the road is 12 metres wide,” he says. “Some of the residents are pretty annoyed and 99 per cent of them have no idea what is going on.”

Wayne says he would refuse to sell his land, and that news of council’s proposal will drop the capital value of it.

“They’ve predetermined the process and the outcome. Who is paying for this? As a ratepayer I don’t think I should be paying for it.”

There are a number of processes involved in acquiring land. The first is when council directly

Avanti Plus currently has a store on Hardy St, Nelson, but this will be the first new look store in the South Island.

Wensley Rd could be widened by 14 metres FROM PAGE 1 approaches the landowner before coming to a mutual agreement. Another process which is more “confrontational” is the Public Works Act. Value of the land will be calculated through a registered valuer, with neither council nor the landowner getting a say in the figure. If the Public Works Act is implemented and the discussion is moved into the courtroom, council must prove there is “public good” in completing the project. Gary says council is currently working through its regional land transport programme, which looks at the region’s roading projects 20 years into the future. The Wensley Rd project falls outside the Long Term Plan’s ten year segment, but falls inside the 20 year planning.

No end in sight for Sundial bus drama

A second bus stop or better scheduling would stop traffic backing up when two buses meet in Sundial Square.

But neither Tasman District Council nor SBL, the company that runs the NBus service, seem keen to resolve the issue.

When one bus is already parked at the bus stop on Croucher St in Sundial Square, the second bus must wait for it to pick up its passengers, therefore blocking off a large number of vehicles.

Council told the Waimea Weekly last week that it would not give up two car parks because of an issue that occurs for just a couple of minutes a day and that

SBL should schedule their buses better so they don’t not meet in Sundial Square at the same time.

But when SBL manager Mike Cavern was quizzed about rescheduling the bus times more adequately, he says the answer to the problem would still be turning the two carparks behind the current bus stop into a new bus stop.

“That’s what we have asked for, yes.”

He says it was disappointing that council would not give up two carparks.

“It is an issue we would like to see fixed and we are working through that with TDC at the present time.”

Top chooks on show FROM PAGE 1 100 birds, of all species, at his home in Brightwater. Rodger has been breeding chooks for more than 20 years, so he knows which birds could become winners. The two key things to look out for is that the rooster’s comb is straight and so is its body.

When you know you’ve got a potential winner months leading into the competition, it is paramount that the bird is watched to make sure it doesn’t get into fights.

The main purpose of the show is to maintain purebreeds. Even if people do own purebreeds, the incentive to enter them in the show encourages the owner to maintain the birds better.

There are a set of standards that each bird must meet if it plans to take home an award.

Students brave the Dragon’s Den Garin College students showed their worth in the business world at the Young Enterprise Scheme’s version of Dragons Den, taking out two podium places.

Students from five local schools presented business plans for products including mouth guards, USB wristbands and customised condoms, as well as products the students themselves made from recycled glassware and gloves. The presentations were a part of the colleges’ business studies in association with the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) and the groups were vying for a share of $2000 to kick-start their business. Each of the groups outlined a business proposal to the

panel of five judges, hoping to show why their idea is sustainable and profitable. “It was an excellent event, very good presentations. The Dragons thought this year was better, more polished, more professional, a lot of teams did very good research and came up with clear propositions. Some of the products were very well thought through,” says Robert Panzer, regional coordinator for YES. Garin College teams Ethical Mall and Big Mouth placed first and third respectively. Nelson College team Willy Nelson placed second. Each team was given a share of the prize pool to help prepare for the next stage of the program, selling their product at the Nelson market day.

Local invention sells online Andrew Board Former Richmond man Ben Ryan needed to raise $US150,000 to make and market his idea – he’s got $450,000 and counting.

Ben along with co-inventor and business partner Chris Thompson developed a product that takes time-lapse video and photo footage. It is the same type of footage you may see on the television news where they show an entire day whizzing past in a matter of seconds.

The pair has dubbed their product the Genie.

The Genie is compact, easy to use and will retail for less than $1000, putting the technology in the hands of amateurs and independent film makers for the first time. Until now, the technology was costly, difficult to use and cumbersome.

But after making a prototype Ben – a former Waimea College student and film maker – and Chris needed to raise enough money to manufacture their idea and market it. Instead of greasing up to corporates they posted their product on website kickstarter.com. It allows people all over the world to prebuy the product to be delivered on the first production run.

Ben says they were confident it would attract a good response but never thought it would be as popular as it is. “We reached our target in five days, it was pretty crazy. We were pretty excited, we thought we knew it was a great product, but the response we got showed us that other people thought that as well.”

The campaign, which is still running, means that not only do the entrepreneurs have the money they need to get their Genie off the ground, they’ve also sold a huge amount of stock and kicked off their marketing.

“Kickstarter was always in our plan and it’s been great, a really good way of getting our product out there and raising some really good money,” he says.

From My Desk The weather was perfect for us all to enjoy the long Queen’s Birthday weekend, and make the most of catching up with friends, relaxing at home, or a trip to Fashion Island for a delicious brunch and leisurely browse around the stores. Whatever you were doing, I hope that you had a perfect weekend.

Style is your personal signature; it’s about sophisticated items that co-ordinate to make the perfect wardrobe. It’s the confidence that comes from exceptional value and design. It’s about finding the pieces in one place.

The Genie founders Ben Ryan, left, and Chris Thompson have raised more than $US430,000 to manufacture their product.

Ben says he hasn’t tried the Genie out in Nelson yet but can’t wait to next time he’s in town. He says the idea was to make a product for independent film makers like himself but because it is so cheap, anyone interested in film making or photography will be able to pick one up without costing a fortune. So far 649 people from around the world have pledged anywhere from $1 to $10,000. The grand total with just 21 days left of the campaign is $US453,637.

To view the kickstarter campaign and watch a video about the Genie, visit www.kickstarter.com and search for Genie.

Gluten free range doubles

Cycle bridge takes shape

Fresh Choice is making sure it’s the only choice for coeliac disease sufferers.

In the middle of Coeliac Awareness Week, Fresh Choice owner Gary Watson is doubling the supermarkets’ already large gluten free range.

Gary was up in Auckland this week at a gluten free show, scoping out more of the market’s gluten free options.

With one in 100 New Zealanders suffering from coeliac disease, he says it is important that all of the options are there. “I guess in Nelson we’re not really in the thick of things. Quite a lot of companies forget about us because we’re not a main centre,” he says. “So if we can go to them, we can find out who is doing what and get in a good range.”

An unmissable blue suspension bridge highlights the current work being done to complete the Great Taste Cycle Trail.

Tasman’s Great Tastle Cycle Trail will be fully completed by 2019, but work in 2012 will see cyclists able to access Wakefield and Mapua from Nelson’s I-Site Centre before November.

Tasman District Council has confirmed further funding to complete the loop in this year’s Long Term Plan and the trail’s chairperson, David Bonnett, says it is exciting times for tourism in the region.

The trail is likely to be on the forefront of marketing Nelson/Tasman to international visitors and will see areas such as Wakefield, Tapawera, Kohatu, Riwaka and Mapua become key stopoffs in the three-day journey.

“There’s a great level of certainty now.

When we are looking at a multi year project, it’s hard for people to get some sort of sense of what is going to be there at the end.

Now people can look and say ‘yes.’ We can all start talking about it.”

A suspension bridge from Bryant Rd to Pugh Rd will connect Brightwater to Richmond. While a second bridge is expected to be completed near Rabbit Island later in the year.

The trail will be 175km when completed.

Knight shines on Nelson stage Acting legend Sir Ian McKellen was in town last month for his one man show, raising money for the Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch. Waimea Weekly reporter Rosie Thomsen was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with him.

What do you feel is your greatest achievement?

“I think it will say on my gravestone ‘Here lies Gandalf; He came out.’ I think both those there are the best achievements in my life.”

Movies you’ve worked in have amazing special effects, when you started your career fifty years ago did you anticipate the dramatic progression of film technology?

“No I don’t think so. But you know, there were 3D films around fifty years ago, but I wasn’t involved with them.

All films are technical, and one bit of technology rather than another doesn’t make much difference really, it’s all about the storytelling. It doesn’t make much difference whether you’re in front of a green screen or actually in the real place where it’s meant to be.”

Your show is raising money for the Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch. What do you think of our Theatre Royal?

“Beautiful, beautiful! This is the first theatre -- because I had thought origi-

nally I would come round and I would raise money for the local theatre I was playing in and for Christchurch -- and Nelson was the first theatre to say ‘no, no, no, it’s not for us, it’s all for Christchurch.’

“So they’re not taking any money out of it, and other theatres followed suit, so there we are. It’s not just me who’s being generous, it’s terrific.”

So who would win a fight - Gandalf or Magneto?

“They don’t exist in the same world, it’ll never happen!

[Laughs] Gandalf of course, the old man!”

AgITO facilitates the training of people employed in the agriculture industry. Training adviser for the top of the South, Robyn Patterson says it coordinates all of the training for all those working on a farm in the top of the South from those enrolled in a Modern Apprenticeship all the way to those completing our business management qualification, the National Diploma in Agribusiness Management. “We currently have approximately 110 trainees across the region enrolled in Level 2 to Level 5 training the dairy and sheep and beef sectors,” says Robyn.

AgITO holds AgriAwards annually in 16 regions throughout New Zealand. These awards nights recognise the successes of AgITO’s trainees and farmer trainers. The industry training organisation recognises its graduating trainees, top achievers and employers and rewards them for their commitment to training.

Lions go off-road Forty nine 4WD vehicles from as far away as Murchison, Motueka, Nelson, and Richmond participated in the Richmond Lions Club’s 4WD Ramble, as a fundraiser for the Nelson Regional Hospice.

Traversing forestry roads not normally accessible to the public, the ramble found it’s way from Tapawera through to Wangapeka River Road, and travelled along the Dart River road before ascending the steep climb to the Sherry Fire Lookout and Old Sow Road.

The Sherry Fire Lookout is at an altitude of 961 metres and offered panoramic views despite the weather.

The number of vehicles could not be handled up at the Fire Lookout at the same time, so half the number visited the Fire Lookout and reassembled at the base of the hill, while the second lot of vehicles travelled from Old Sow Road.

Money is still being counted, but a sizeable donation of around $2000 will be made to the Nelson Regional Hospice thanks to the generosity of those taking part.

The Richmond Lions would also like to acknowledge the support given by Nelson Forests Ltd and the Proffit family.

Horses are champing at the bit in the lead up to the Nelson Harness Racing Club’s winter meeting.

More than 160 of New Zealand’s finest harness racing stock will be converging on Richmond Racecourse to battle it out on the South Island’s fastest all weather track.

Local trainers, breeders and drivers will be going up against the professionals, with many racing heavyweights coming from the Christchurch district and further south. “We’re expecting some good drivers; Dexter Dunn, Rickie May, Colin De Filippi, John Dunn, some of the real professional drivers that have won the New Zealand cup and other races around the country,” says John McKenzie, president of the Nelson Harness Racing Club. Audiences can expect unbridled excitement and action as these competitive racers meet on the recently graded and maintained track which promises thrilling speeds.

The races are held this Friday and Sunday, with

Giving is what local charity organisations are known for, but last week they were the gracious recipients of donations from local doctors.

The GP subfaculty agreed that money gathered from annual subscriptions should be used in a charitable way.

Four local GPs researched community charities to find organisations that they felt were deserving. “These charities make the lives of so many much better, including at risk children, adolescents, single parents as well as many adult men and women,” says Dr Ngaire Warner, who presented the donations at Victory Community Centre last week.

Along with the donations, Big Brothers and Big Sisters Nelson were given two bicycles and a bike rack for the use of the mentors and children. “It staggers me to come to these things and see the generosity shown. These organisations are built on the backs of volunteers and

it’s great to have that support,” says Gavin Miller of Big Brothers and Big Sisters Nelson.

Bands rock Richmond

A handful of Tasman’s top young acts took to the Richmond Town Hall stage to perform in front of a 100-strong audience on Saturday night.

The Tasman Band Tour rode into town for the first time this year, headlined by 2010 guests Recommended By Your Mum. Other bands on the billing were Fire Without Permit, Paper City, The Black Spots, Buried In Blood and more.

The whole idea behind the tour, which is supported by Tasman District Council, was to give high school bands more exposure and playing time when Smokefreerockquest had finished.

There are workshops before each performance, giving the bands an opportunity to learn about setting up for gigs, mixing sound and running events. But most importantly, it gives them another chance to perform in front of a large audience.

The Tasman Band Tour will make two more stops, in Motueka and in Golden Bay.

Drivers shine in the sun Nelson drivers Brendan Gridley and Kane Adcock secured top three placings at the Kartsport Sunbelt Championship on Sunday.

Backing up from the event’s first day in Blenhiem, the Nelson drivers dominated on their home turf. Brendan forced his

way up to third place in the Rotax Lite class with Kane finishing third in the Senior Yamaha class.

The pair were the only two Nelson drivers to reach the podium.

Nelson teams warm up for nationals Eight Nelson underwater hockey teams will travel to Wellington this weekend to contest the central zone’s qualifying tournament.

While the eight teams, from Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls, cannot win the tournament, they will be using it to

gain some much needed experience ahead of the New Zealand Secondary School Underwater Hockey Championship in September. While they are all college teams, the sides are also made up of a number of Tasman residents. The girls senior team will

be spearheaded by New Zealand Under-18 representative Simone Jarrett and non-travelling New Zealand squad member Alice Bailey. Justin Sturrock, James Christian and Zachary CoombsKing will be the stars of the Nelson College side.

Wakefield Community Council Report

Our last meeting was the AG.M. with the present office holders continuing. We do invite subs of $5 per household to sustain the group, payable to Sonia Emerson. We were delighted to hear of the painting of the library, and Tui France came along to thank Garfield Ellery, John Best and Graham France for their help with the painting. The library kitchen now makes a great meeting room and can be hired out for $25.

Tui has done a great job with the library. We discussed the Cycle trail and indicated our support for the next stage as funding allows. A civil defence plan has been approved but there is still discussion as to whether emergency services should be in the lead roles. We discussed interest in

creation of a skate park, which will come up under the future zoning plan no doubt. We discussed the domain Board’s regularity of meetings, and the use of the area for soccer and other sports. It is hoped the mural on the chemist’s wall will be refreshed in due course. Signage is constantly being monitored by our council in the town area. We remind ratepayers of the need to keep their hedges and trees trimmed so people can easily and safely use the footpaths. It was noted with appreciation that the entrance to Faulkner Bush has been resealed. Next meeting on Tuesday 12th June 7.30pm at The Worship Centre.

Rev.d Allan Wasley, Chairperson.

Richmond Athletic’s Tom Hillis and Wakefield’s Bryce Taylor challenge for the ball during Saturday’s Greg Brown Memorial Game in Wakefield.

Wakefield recaptured the trophy for the third time in four years. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Wakefield win memorial match Phillip Rollo Wakefield Football Club celebrated its 30th jubilee by recapturing the Greg Brown Memorial Trophy on Saturday.

Wakefield challenge a Richmond Athletic selectional XI in an annual fixture on Queens Birthday Weekend in memory of Greg, a Wakefield player who ragically died on the pitch four years ago.

Greg, who was also the president of the Waimea Plains junior football club, suffered a heart attack following a corner kick.

The match was played against Richmond Athletic, so the two teams agreed that every year they would play a friendly match in his memory.

Greg’s family attended the match with his daughter Sophie handing over the silverware.

Wakefield had previously won the friendly encounter twice, but Richmond were the defending title holders.

A much younger Wakefield side took to the Wakefield Recreational Ground against an experienced Richmond side. It was the young guns that struck first, with Bryce Taylor scoring an early brace.

Wakefield dominated the opening half, their pace becoming too difficult to mark.

But it wasn’t long before Richmond got themselves on the scoresheet when Braden Scammell scored.

Ash Hodges and Will Marshall made it 4-1, before and Richmond Athletic’s Tor Tran scored late in the match.

Wakefield’s captain Ian Radcliffe, who did not feature on Saturday due to a calf tear, says it was an important victory for the club. “There was a bit more of an edge for us this year because we were disappointed that we didn’t win last year,” he says. “We wanted to bring the cup home, so to speak.”

Ian says the match does get quite competitive, but the event was all about Greg. “Just keeping alive his memory and what football is about.

It was played in good spirits.”

There was also a past versus present game held before the clash, with Wakefield’s past players edging out a 4-3 win in an entertaining game.

Wakefield’s 30 year anniversary was also highlighted by its ASB Chatham Cup debut last month.

Despite losing the clash with FC Nelson 2-0, the side showed plenty of spark against a squad made up of the Nelson Pine Industries division one’s two top sides.

Wakefield first XI is currently sitting second place on the Nelson Pine Industries division two table, just behind FC Nelson Locomotive, a team they managed to topple last Tuesday.

Wakefield will play NRG Tahunanui first XI at home this Saturday. The match kicks off at 3pm.

Wanderers Rugby Club

Hayden Smith in action for the Wanderers Wolves.

Cobras take bite out of Wolves Ben Cooper It was a case of one team looking to get their season back on track after two straight losses; whilst the other was looking to continue the momentum gained from back-to-back wins when the defending champions Stoke Cobras met the Malbas Wanderers Wolves in Brightwater on Saturday.

It was the Cobras who struck first though, speedster Jamein Bristow showing his class from a deft inside pass and outpacing the Wolves’ fullback to score an impressive 50 metre solo effort after just five minutes.

The Wolves hit back with an almost identical play, prop forward Ben Cooper making a 50m break from an inside pass. Without the pace to finish it and unable to find his support runners, he took the tackle and from the next play ex-Cobra Josh Walker scored against his old club.

Thus began a period of dominance for the Wolves side, with Sam Hedges playing in an unfamiliar role of loose forward showing his pace and strength to score two superb tries, taking the score to 16-4 with 25 minutes gone.

At this point, the game seemed destined to flow in the home side’s favour. However after the Wolves squandered possession through a series of back to back penalties, the Cobras began to fight their way back in to the game, scoring three tries before half time to take a lead into the break 20-16.

The second half began the way the first had ended, with the Stoke side being penalised a number of times for dangerous tackles. The Wolves took full advantage with Cooper again breaking the line, providing a superb offload in the tackle for propping partner John Hingia to score next to the posts and regain the lead.

Hayden Smith landed an easy penalty goal

a few minutes later but this was to be the last scoring play for the Wolves in what can only be described as an extremely poor second half effort. Trailing by six, the Cobras unleashed their not-so-secret weapon in the form of damaging runner James Velanu.

Having been uncharacteristically quiet and contained in the first half, James found his trademark barnstorming best in a period of 20 minutes in the second half, scoring two breakaway tries though some surprisingly brittle defence.

It seemed like the Wolves had returned to their early season form, losing their shape on attack and discipline on defence, something that had clearly worked well for them in their previous two games. With no answer for the power, pace and momentum of the champion Cobras side, the floodgates opened. Jamein added his second, standing up five players on his way to

another long range effort.

Wiry hooker Tapu Lisene scooted over from dummy half and loose forward Djan Chamberlain showed excellent judgement intercepting a short pass close to the line to blow the score out to 44-24.

An extremely disappointed Wolves coach was both philosophical and scathing in his assessment after the game. “I was more disappointed with the way we lost, than the fact that we lost. We had periods of dominance through the game but gave away too much possession and let them play their game through some poor defence. We went away from our gameplan and it showed through poor discipline.”

The win has seen Stoke go to the top of the competition table on 12 points, whilst the Wanderers side have a must-win game against the travelling Wairau Taniwha this Saturday to keep their season and their finals chances alive.

Waimea Old Boys Rugby

Bs lose heavily in Motueka Wayne Oldham

New World Huia couldn’t have started much worse.

The signs were good for Star & Garter Waimea Old Boys Bs at Sport Park Motueka after Huia spilled the ball from the kick off, immediately putting pressure on themselves.

But a missed placed grubber kick in behind the defence allowed gave the home side their get out of jail free card.

But Huia quickly made up for their mistake and sprinted the length of the field to score out wide, an ominious sign of what was to follow.

Jay Wright slotted a penalty after 11 minutes to finally put Waimea Old Boys on the scoreboard. That also gave the team some much need motivation.

Huia were quick to shut that momentum down though and midway through the first half the Motueka side scored its second try of the game, to take a 12-3 lead.

Flying winger Lisett Paea added to his impressive try tally, to edge Waimea Old Boys that much closer. The conversion was missed but Jay made no mistake just minutes later from a penalty attempt.

At that stage, Waimea were just trailing by one point heading into the halftime break.

But that was when it all fell apart.

It was all one way traffic in the second spell. Huia changed its tactics from spreading the ball wide to playing in tight.

Huia’s forward pack were hitting the advantage line with pace. The ball didn’t go further than the second five-eight, who would just crash the ball into the Waimea defensive line.

Huia managed to rack up six tries in the second half to eventually end the game 44-11. Waimea did not score a single point in the second half.

Waimea’s scrum started strongly but faded throughout the game and lineout was patchy at best. Set piece could be something to work on at practice this week.

Waimea’s forwards will have to find some steal for the rest of the season if they are to provide some quality ball for their more than capable backs.

Waimea were hindered by the injury count throughout the game, especially to fullback Mitchell Bateman to a shoulder injury. He, along with captain Luke Thelin put in their usual committed performances and were two of the standouts in the backline. Jay showed plenty of promise in the playmaker role.

Lock Dylan Hedges was the standout performer in the forward pack.

Waimea front up again at home this coming weekend against Nelson.

Waimea Old Boys claim third consecutive win Scott McKenzie Three on the trot has put Waimea Old Boys near the top.

In the space of three games Star & Garter Waimea Old Boys has gone from the bottom of the Bayleys Tasman Trophy Pool A to be competing with front runners Galbraith Group Nelson, which is who Waimea will get to test their metle against this week at Jubilee Park.

Another long bus trip saw the red and whites travel to Landsdowne Park in Blenhiem.

A great start again saw an all out attack and Josh Rutledge had the same boots on as last week to nail a early penalty.

Five minutes later the side was in the action again. This time Mike Bates was there on the end of a James Lowe break, which seen Mike get pulled down just five meters short of the line. The ruck was formed and Tevita Cavubati was too big and too strong from that close to line to crash over under the sticks, putting Waimea Old Boys in front 10-0.

Unfortuntely two minutes after that Ropate Rimakama was sin binned, just as Waimea had gone on another rapant attack. This saw Central answer straight away with a try.

For the next 20 minutes all the play seemed to be happening in the middle of the park as both packs tested

Jubilee Park hosts Nelson Bays Nelson Bays have won the first encounter with Marlborough, defeating them 33-28 at Jubilee Park on Monday.

The initial squad featured just three Waimea Old Boys players, but one of them made a significant impact scoring a second half try.

Ropate Rimakama’s efforts could have been the deciding points, with Marlborough sniffing around everytime Nelson took the lead.

Waimea Old Boys halfback Kaide Whiting came on as a second half substitute only to be forced from the paddock with an ankle injury just ten minutes later.

their grunt.

Five minutes from half time and it was Central who came out on top of the tussle with a penalty to level things up 10 all and looking that way going into the break.

But it was Josh, in the fine form he has been in, to find a hole down the right wing and turn on the gas for 40 metres or so before centre kicking back to ‘you know who’ James to score under the black dot. The try took Waimea into a 17–10 lead at half time.

The second half brought Central three penalties in a row to see them grab the lead.

Tevita said enough of this and took on the Central defence, breaking through with the forward pack right behind him. James was on the end it to score his second try.

Another penalty fom Josh three minutes later gave a little breathing space.

Until he thought his team needed a little more air and grabbed an intercept, sprinting 40 meters to put Waimea up 34–19.

I think Waimea was already on the bus home after that gift. Central also claimed an intercept try and a late penalty to wrap up the game in Waimea’s favour.

This Saturday see’s your division one side at home for the first time in over a month, so get in behind them and show your support.

WEDNESDAY 6 June 2012

U15s third in Wellington Nelson Under 15 representatives acquitted themselves well at the Marjorie Jenden Tournament held in Wellington during Queen’s birthday weekend. With six wins, a draw and two losses Nelson was placed third.

Coach, Kathryn Orange was thrilled with her charges and admitted at times it became a logistical nightmare to keep within the tournament rules of playing the girls for a maximum of ten of the possible twelve quarters. The management team had to be aware of their opposition and what the scores were which assisted them in making the decision of when “to rest” their key players.

Nelson got out to a great start in their opener against Manawatu with Makaila Powick strong through the mid court.

Georgia Davies put in a sterling performance at goal keep – she hunted the ball to pull in a number of well timed intercepts. Despite falling off the pace in the second quarter Nelson won 27-21.

The loss was against a very physical Wanganui team who adjusted well to the blustery weather conditions.

Goal defence, Merekara McGuinnietty had an impressive game, displaying a good eye for the intercept.

The loss was a learning curve for a number of the girls who had not suffered defeat in three years.

Poppy Restieaux was the leading light against Wairarapa Development – she had beautiful movement in the circle, pulled in some difficult ball while converting 11 from 12.

Poppy and goal shoot, Kate Bolton displayed a great understanding of one another’s play with Kate shooting an impressive 21 from 26 in the 43-10 victory.

Mid courter, Ruby Jensen displayed maturity in the lessons learnt from

the previous day. She linked well through court and put in some fantastic feeds to her shooters in the 27-18 win against Marlborough.

Nelson completely outplayed Wairarapa to win 48-19. Poppy (20 from 21) and Kate Bolton(12 from 14) once again proved to be a formidable offensive pairing.

Nelson was made to work extremely hard when they met Kapiti. Defender, Sarah Robinson produced a huge amount of turnover ball. She played with her heart and soul, read the play well to hunt the ball in the 29-26 win.

Day three was always going to be a tough one as Nelson faced the strongest contenders for the title. Wellington Black, who went on to win the tournament were a classy team, who had skill from one end of the court to the other.

Nelson’s younger players were given the opportunity to test themselves against the well drilled team.

Nelson was down 12-16 at half time against Kapi Mana however a change in the shooting circle with Poppy going back to goal shoot and Katie Ditzel to goal attack soon paid dividends as they outscored the northerners 9-2. Merekara had another inspiring game while Georgia proved to be a worthy partner in the defensive circle in the 2823 win. Nelson fought gallantly against Wellington Gold however they had to be content with a 25 draw. Collingwood Area School’s Sarah Robinson is relishing the opportunity of representative netball and during the weekend came on in “leaps and bounds”. Sarah displayed great distance on the defend and was credited with several deflections while Merekara came in for praise from her coach for a fantastic tournament.

Current Dog Registration expires 30 June 2012

Motueka Aerodrome Management and Development Plans

The Dog Control Act 1996 requires that all dogs over the age of three months be registered for the current Registration Year. The Registration Year runs from 1 July to 30 June.

Registration forms for all dogs currently on Councils database will be posted mid June 2012. If you own a dog and do not receive a registration form, please immediately contact your nearest Council office.

The Registration Fee structure for 2012/2013 remains unchanged from 2011/2012: • Urban Dog $50.00 • Rural Dog $30.00 Whether a dog is Urban or Rural is determined by the size of the property on which they reside.

Dogs on properties less than one hectare are deemed Urban, dogs on properties of one hectare or more are deemed Rural.

A penalty equating to 50% of relevant urban/rural fees will be imposed on owners of dogs that have not been registered by 1 August 2012.

The cost of dog control and administration is funded by dog owners, accordingly all revenue received and retained by Council in relation to dogs is expended solely on dog related activities, these include: • Compliance with Dog Control Legislation – Registration, microchipping requirements – Maintenance of local and National Dog databases • Enforcement of Dog Control Legislation – Providing designated Dog Control Officers – Providing a system for the lodging and recording of complaints – Providing a physical response to incidents and complaints – Providing a physical response in relation to animal welfare – Classifying dangerous and menacing dogs – Issuing infringement notices for offences – Prosecuting offences under the Dog Control Act 1996 • Providing Dog pound facilities • Education of the general public and local interest groups in regards to; owner obligations, safety around dogs, and other dog related topics.

The Council has prepared a management plan and a development plan for Motueka Aerodrome and is now inviting the community to comment on those plans.

The plans are available on the Council website www.tasman.govt.nz/policy/public-consultation Copies are also available from Council offices and Libraries at Motueka and Richmond.

The purposes of the plans are to coordinate the aerodromes use, operations, maintenance and developments safely, efficiently and in cooperation with the aerodrome operators. The management plan addresses issues such as permitted and discretionary uses of the aerodrome, management objectives, conditions for the operation of businesses, environmental as well as health and safety issues. The development plan sets out the parameters of acceptable growth for the aerodrome including the provision of proposed development areas including criteria for any future buildings etc.

There will not be a hearing to consider submissions. Once the Council has considered written submissions, the plans will be finalised and placed on the Council website. This process should be completed by the end of August 2012.

Submissions to these plans will be received up until 4.00 pm Friday 13 July 2012, and should be addressed to: Submission on Motueka Aerodrome Management and Development Plans Tasman District Council Private bag 4 Richmond 7050 Or may be emailed to mamdsubmission@tasman.govt.nz Submission forms may be downloaded from the Council website or may be obtained from the Council offices or Libraries at Richmond or Motueka.

An open day will be held on Tuesday 26 June 2012 between 2.00 pm and 4.30 pm at the Council’s Motueka offices at Hickmott Place to provide the opportunity for interested persons to share their views or ask questions regarding these plans.

These plans do not cover activities outside the envelope of the aerodrome. While an increase or decrease in future activity at the aerodrome may impact on the numbers and frequency of aircraft using the airspace in and around the aerodrome, the use of the airspace is not addressed in these plans as the Council in its role as owner and operator of the aerodrome does not control airspace. Submissions should focus on the information provided (or not provided) in the plans and while consequential matters may be considered by the Council when reviewing submissions, issues such as flight paths, flying areas or pilot behaviour, where the Council does not have control, are unlikely to be considered.
