Biker flown to hospital after bee sting Phillip Rollo A Richmond mountain biker was helicoptered out of St Arnaud after he was stung on the tongue by a bee. Al Wilson was mountain biking along Mt Robert on Sunday with a group of mates when he was stung in the mouth. The 47 year-old suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction and was swiftly taken to Nelson Hospital by the rescue helicopter. When he initially came off the track, unable to speak due to a heavily swollen mouth, he was transported by one of his friends to a nearby ambulance, which was situated at the NZ Classic and Antique

Now recovered, Al says he was feeling much better on Monday. He was grateful for having “good mates” with him to help out and was thanking a few lucky circumstances on the way, including having cellphone reception to call two of the friends on motorbikes, having an ambulance nearby and a GP at the event’s entrance. “She realised there was a bit of an emergency and came over to the ambulance,” says Al. “I didn’t know how serious it could be. If we had been an hour further out who knows what could have happened? It could have been one of those ‘I shouldn’t be alive’ moments. All I know is it’s bloody scary when you can’t talk.”
Price protest hits the streets More than 30 Waimea Village residents attracted hundreds of honks from drivers supporting their bid to stop owners Michael and Carolyn Wright once again raising the fees they pay. Holding signs like “bullying, intimidation” and “2 Wrights make it wrong” the mainly elderly residents attracted plenty of support. The action comes after Michael and Carolyn decided to lift the service fees from $80 a month in 2010 to $284 a month this year. Currently residents pay $125 per month for services like maintenance of the common ground, weekly van rides to Richmond
and green waste collection. Residents own their own homes and pay normal council rates on top of the monthly fees. Michael says the increases are needed for the village to break even and the protesters aren’t fully aware of the facts. “I don’t have a problem [with the protest], it’s a free country. Unfortunately they’ve been misled by the media, their [residents] committee and representatives of the council. “They don’t have an understanding of the issue other than it’s a big

Organisers of the Sprig & Fern Summer Fare are urging people to be wary of the alcohol-free zones ahead of Richmond’s largest street party. The Sprig & Fern Summer Fare will be held on Friday March 23 from 5:30pm to 10pm and Richmond Unlimited spokesperson Steve Page says participants should be “respectful” of the events policies, which includes no alcohol in the alcohol-free zones, otherwise they will be removed from the event. “This is our chance to get together and celebrate the end of summer. The Sprig & Fern Summer Fare has been a huge success every year that it has been held, so we are just reminding people to stay safe and have fun,” he says. This year’s theme will be medieval and there will be plenty of great prizes from the event’s sponsors for best dressed. More than 3000 people attended last year’s Summer Fare and that number is expected to increase with a larger array of food stalls.

increase they are facing.” But protest organiser Ethel Murdoch says a 127 per cent raise is “disgusting” and the residents will “fight to the end”. Michael estimated just ten protesters and said it was confined to the morning. When told the protesters were back out on the road and had tripled in size by the afternoon he said he was not aware of it. Ethel says the support was huge, with the honking of horns almost non-stop. Representatives from Age Concern and Maryan’s Street’s office joined the protest. After the protest four of the signs were left on the side of the road, one of which Michael admitted putting in the rubbish. He says he didn’t know what happened to the other three.

There does appear to be some light at the end of the tunnel though for the dispute. Local businessman John Davies, the father-inlaw of Michael, has come on board to try to sort out the dispute and reach a settlement between the residents and owners. Michael says he holds little faith in the negotiation though. “There is someone negotiating from the committee at the moment. I’m happy with that procedure but I very much doubt it will have a conclusion because I believe the committee will not accept the negotiator’s outcome.” Meanwhile the story continues to attract further attention with enquiries now coming from national media outlets, including TVNZ. Ethel says the more attention the better. “We’ve tried every other way, we fought last year and we still got the increase. The more attention we can get for our cause the better.”

Amber’s ready to roll at Trolley Derby Phillip Rollo
With less than two weeks to go until the 2012 Roberton’s Trolley Derby, Redwood Valley’s Amber Holmes is raring to go. Amber, 13, will enter for the very first time, along with
her 15 year-old sister Brit, thanks to some encouragement from her father Simon Holmes. “I talked to her into,” he says. “I had been to other years and it’s always a good day out. I gauged Amber’s interest in it last year and I thought we should have a crack at this.” So since last March, Simon has spent a couple of hundred hours turning Amber’s bike into a fully functional trolley. With just over a week until race day down Collingwood St, Amber is going

to spend the next few days testing it through her suburb, because of its quiet, hilly roads. “I’m very [excited]. But I don’t want to crash,” says Amber. The Waimea College student helped paint the trolley, which features her old bike wheels on the front. Simon says it only cost $50 to build and will be entering it in the Backyard Brilliance competition for trolleys made under $200. “It’s cost virtually nothing except labour to build it.” Amber will be entered in the 13-15 age group with Brit in the Monarch of the Hill.

Road trip for NBS A convoy of classics will wind its way around the upper South Island in honour of Nelson Building Society. The Vintage Car Club has brought together 17 veteran vehicles and counting, everything from a near century old 1918 Buick, to a comparably modern 1977 Triumph. The five-day tour will visit all seven NBS branches from Nelson to Greymouth, covering over 800 kilometres. The Vintage Car Club will take the opportunity to personally thank the people of NBS for the support they show to their club and the community, and to congratulate them, as New Zealand’s oldest Building Society, on their coming 150 year anniversary.

Taking steps for cancer cure Rosie Thomsen
RICHMOND/WAIMEA NEIGHBOURHOOD SUPPORT GROUP We are seeking people interested in joining our committee next meeting Time: 7pm Tuesday 13 March At: Richmond Police Station For more information call 543 9505
Several thousand steps were taken to get closer to a cancer cure, with thousands of volunteers trekking diligently around Saxton Field to raise funds for the Cancer Society over the weekend. Brightly dressed, they braved the low overnight temperatures. “It must have been five degrees at four am,” says Rachael Watson. But even the cold couldn’t bring down their spirits. “Everyone carried on; it was good. It was never a lonely walk.” Rachael, and her sisters Nicky and Tracey, took part in the event in honour of their sister who had been lost to cancer. Along with their team, they dressed as butterflies to symbolise the spirits of those lost being released. The volunteers’ efforts were rewarded with a bright, sunny morning, when the closing ceremony was followed by the final lap, which everyone who had been involved in the Relay walked. Purple balloons were released as the survivors led the 1600 strong crowd around the oval in a victory lap. Many at the relay had been touched by cancer, whether it was the survivors, walking a lap to open the event, or those with family and friends who had battled it.
Rachael Watson, Anna Bolitho, Nicky Douglas, Annie Bell, Lisa Quinn and Tracey Parks donned butterfly apparrel for the Relay for Life to symbolise spirits of cancer sufferers being released. The Relay for Life was held at Saxton Field over the weekend. Photo: Rosie Thomsen

Rotoiti’s classic boat show
St Arnaud was flooded with some of the country’s most pristine antique boats on the weekend as the annual NZ Antique and Classic Boat Show came to town. While predictions of bad weather failed to deter hardy boaties who turned out on Saturday, a much bigger crowd on Sunday enjoyed the on-lake racing that was rescheduled from Saturday, as well as on-land viewing of classic steam boats and replicas, an extensive collection of wooden boats from the Picton Clinker Club, sailing boats of all ages and sizes, veteran Hamilton jets, lovingly crafted cedar kayaks and funky old dinghies. Prizes were given at an awards dinner at Rotoiti Lodge on Saturday night, with the Jens Hansen Cup for best vessel overall going to the 16 foot mini-tug Little Toot. The fully functioning replica was designed by the owner, Clinton Skelton of Nelson, built in 2008 in Valencia Spain and shipped home this year. The award for best new craft went to a 14 f00t double-ended day sailer, just completed and, owned by Gary Drummond of Motueka. The Port Nelson House Parts award for best rowing craft went to the 12 foot clinker row boat, Maggie, owned by John McConway of Picton. The CWF Hamilton Trophy for the best jet propelled boat went to Butt, built in 1963 built and owned by Anthony Connolly of Christchurch. The Johnson Family Trophy for the best

The best restoration was awarded to the frostbite sailing dinghy Corsair owned by Paul Baragwanath of Auckland. The Mathieson Jeffcott Trophy for the best motor powered craft went to Ross Birchall of Rotorua for his English built aluminium albatross class boat, built in 1953 for Sir William Stevenson. The Eventiac prize for best themed display went to motor-boat Tom Thumb

The Ron Culley Trophy for the best steam boat went to steam launch Janice, built by Russell Ward in 2007 and owned by Janice, Brent and Lynn Winter of Murchison.

From My Desk
Autumn has arrived in full glory, and hopefully some of those leaves, that are turning into beautiful shades of orange and deep reds, have not all been blown away with our weekends winds.
My focus for the week: - Cotton on Kids. This is a wonderful place to discover the latest in Kids clothing at Cotton On. Shop for boys - fleece, jackets, tees, pants, denim, polos, shirts, shorts, tanks, and for girls - dresses, skirts, jewellery and hair accessories and so much more. The sparkles, frills and tulle are every little girl’s dress up dreams come true. While you feast in the fairy tale surroundings of the store, your little ones can play, happily colouring in and be entertained while still having you in their view. I like to think the most important thing to remember is that you can wear fabulous clothes and gorgeous shoes, but you have got to have a good spirit on the inside. That is what is going to make you ready to face each and every day. Have a fabulous week and I look forward to your visit at our Fashion Island

Midwife column coming to Weekly A fortnightly column written by local midwives is coming to the Waimea Weekly thanks to the support of Paula’s Tiny Tots. The column will give tips from the stages of pregnancy right up until preschool age and will include anything from sun protection, clothing to water births and nutrition. Paula’s Tiny Tots owner Ant Holder says midwives are an integral part of any parents’ pregnancy stage. “Everyone has a midwife and needs that support going right through pregnancy coming up to the big day,” says Ant. “Midwives are there to give mums and dads support, guidance and information and there is a quite a special bond with the family and the midwife leading up to the birth of your child.” Midwife Wendy de Groot confirmed the statistic that 100 per cent of pregnant women have a midwife and the column would be “hugely positive” for the industry. “It’s going to get key information to the people who need it. Even for people thinking about having a baby or know someone who is having a baby, this column will educate anyone that reads it.” Ant wants the column to give midwives a voice in the Waimea-Tasman community. “I would say parents are often looking for answers and advice. Midwives have been through it all before and have plenty of information on parent’s needs. If parents need questions answered, this fortnightly editorial will do exactly that and cover a wide variety of pregnancy Midwife Wendy de Groot, mother Claire Savage with her threerelated subjects.” month old boy Ben Hilton and Paula’s Tiny Tots owner Ant Holder.

Navy sails into town Jonathan McKeown
Heroes of the past and potential future commanders welcomed the HMNZS Wellington to Tasman Bay as the New Zealand Navy Vessel opened its decks to the public last weekend. A group of Sea Cadets sped into the Bay on two Zodiacs to meet the ship en route to port while a group of WWII Navy veterans were shown round the 85 metre Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) once it was docked. By all accounts the youngsters and veterans were impressed by the Vessel and crew alike.

Queen Street Fish Supply has a brand new owner. A local lad, John Trewavas has been involved in the joinery and building business for the past 35 years and, like a lot of us, he felt like it was time for change in lifestyle. When he heard the local takeaway business was for sale it provided the perfect opportunity to put his plans for change into action. Having been a keen fisherman since childhood John says he recognises a good piece of fish, enjoys eating good fish and he knows how to cook it. To help ensure his success John has kept on all of the previous staff together with a couple of extra talented people to help him out. “It’s not rocket science,” says John. “You just have to stick to the basic principles of consistently offering great products and combine that with fantastic customer service. And the businesses who supply Queen Street Fish Supply have been great, always available and offering excellent advice.” Queen Street Fish Supply offers a range of quality food from fresh, hot, kiwi fish and chips through to gourmet burgers and platters. One area that John is keen to expand on is providing meals to patrons visiting the neighbouring Sprig and Local takeaway meets local tavern - a marriage made in heaven! John from Queen Street Fish Supply delivers fresh, hot food to patrons at The Sprig and Fern. Pictured from left are Dan Haynes, Hanan Satherley, John Trewavas and Tyrone Callaghan.

Fern tavern. “We’ve always offered meals from our takeaway menu to the customers at The Sprig, but we’ve expanded on that and now serve plated meals as well. These include steaks, ham steaks, fish, sausages and burgers or even blue cod, all served with chips and salad.
Proud to supply Queen Street Fish Supply
It’s a great way to wind down after a hard day at work – relaxing with one of the Sprig’s own craft beers or nonalcoholic drinks while we cook your dinner.” Queen Street Fish Supply is open 7 days from 4.30pm until 8pm on Monday to Wednesday and until 8.30pm from Thursday until Sunday.

WINDOW ON WAKEFIELD Wakefield Community Council Report Do come to the Next Meeting of the Council. Why?? Because it is the meeting when the ten year plan for our district will be unveiled and explained, with TDC councillors and staff attending to answer your questions about the plan. Our last meeting was chaired by Ivan Burrowes. We were addressed by Mayor Richard Kempthorne regarding the proposed amalgamation, who is not convinced there will be significant savings in such an amalgamation. The question of representation of the rural advisory committee was raised, but it may not address the needs of Mapua, Brightwater or Wakefield. Other points are summarised in another article in this edition. Assistance has been requested by the Wakefield Library to maintain the interior of the building, and they are setting up a drop box for returned books at Hair Raisers salon. The Library is a great resource, and we will liaise with the Wakefield School B.O.T. to see how we could work together on this need. We soon hope to get the mural on the chemist shop wall touched up by an artist. We must thank
Stu Watts and Pete Cobledick for their work on painting the street bollards. The problem of overgrown hedges hindering footpath movement, especially for mobile scooters and prams, was noted and Councillors will survey the village for this. Council have arranged for ongoing work resurfacing the tennis courts. Forward Planning - we would love to hear from people who have ideas for projects the community could and should join together to action. We also discussed the entranceway to Faulkner Bush, McPherson Way signage to be replaced, the ongoing public toilet’s mysteries, and the need to tidy up many of the street signs. We appreciated the TDC repainting the white line on the Hill corner on Edward Street. Apparently the Spooners Lookout is being worked on so that the view will soon be restored!

Proposed Council Amalgamation At the recent Wakefield Community Council meeting, a number of key queries regarding the proposed amalgamation of Tasman and Nelson were raised and answers provided. Below is a summary of the key points discussed at that meeting. It’s going to happen anyway/Government will force it. This is incorrect. If the more than 50% of votes cast are against amalgamation, then it will not proceed – by law. John Key has also clearly stated that he will not be forcing any local government amalgamations. Rates reductions. The Local Government Commission (LGC) has been very careful to downplay potential cost savings and has said that “while net savings will occur these are unlikely to translate into rates reductions...” and that “an undue focus on financial savings may therefore be misleading for the public.” It is interesting to note that the Auckland Super City is setting rates for the first time since amalgamation and is facing large rate impact swings with some getting large reductions and some large increases (up to 30 %) despite the region wide increase being around 4 %.

College gets boys back into books
Two Waimea College teachers have found a novel way to get boys back into reading. The program, which sees a Year 13 student help Year 9s with reading for 20 minutes four times a week, was created by teachers Ian Trice and Tim Wright to help get the boys back to up the same level as girls. Reading seems to be the solution to a wide range of academic subjects. “Boys don’t think it’s cool to ready anymore and if one of these guys goes to the library and gets a book out during the year then I think it’s been a success,” says Ian. Ian says all of the students that take part are switched on kids, however, their reading skills may be below average. “We just want to make reading cool. For quite a long time now, males have lagged behind females academically, not just at Waimea, but nation-wide. Sixteen Year 13 students will have a turn at reading “cool stories”, like Bear Grylls, to the Waimea College student James Vanner, 17, second from left, has been helping Year 9 students Laegh Nicoll, Jake Todd and Tyler students throughout the year.

Just a thought... Susan Gill At holiday times journalists ask people, usually cute little kids, what the holiday is for. Christmas is easy. “Santa” most kids reply. A few might answer “baby Jesus”. Easter is also easy. “Easter eggs. Easter bunny. Chocolate.” Very seldom is there anything deeper than that. What do you reckon would happen if we asked about Lent? Puzzled or blank faces is what I would expect from almost everyone. Most people have never heard of Lent. Many Christians don’t know about it either, let alone celebrate it. It’s kind of dropped off the radar. So what is Lent? Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. This year Ash Wednesday coincided with the anniversary of the big earthquake in Christchurch. Kind of appropriate really. We mourned with Christchurch, we missed the old buildings and saw the rubble that remains, and we remembered the people who died and prayed for their families and friends. At the same time some Christians were acutely aware that it was Ash Wednesday. For centuries, on Ash Wednesday, Christians have received the mark of the cross. In an ancient ritual the cross is marked, with ash, on the forehead. “What on earth for?” you might be asking. In the aftermath of the earthquakes, we realise that many people who were engineers, architects,

Fair back again The Stoke Memorial Hall will be bursting with fresh produce and garage sale treasures ahead of this Saturday’s annual Save the Children Fair. Save the Children provides both emergency relief and long term development assistance often working closely with local partners to provide children with the best start in life. Last year the profits went towards a programme in Christchurch helping children, teachers and parents deal with the trauma of the earthquake. This year’s funds will go towards
helping a child care centre in Fiji, some of which have been hit by flooding in recent times. The fair begins at 9:30am and runs until 12noon. It has been running for several years and features a white elephant, cake stalls, fresh fruit and vegetables and raffles. In the white elephant, there will be sporting goods, pictures, frames, tool boxes, sleeping bags, clothing for children and adults and much more. Organiser Isabelle Jones is encouraging people to come down to support a great cause.

experts in their fields did their best to erect safe buildings. But their best was not always good enough and people died as a result. (OK there may have been some negligence, but mostly it seems to me, people tried hard to do what was right.) In all of life, mostly people try to do what is right, to live good lives and care for others but our efforts don’t always cut it. We can’t always be the selfless and thoughtful people we want to be, even when we try really, really hard. This is where the story of Lent, and of Jesus, comes in. The ash reminds us that we fail sometimes and that Jesus came to offer forgiveness for our failures. Lent is the six-week period leading up to Easter where we remember that Jesus’ forgiveness cost him his life. But the story doesn’t end there. Whew! Lent climaxes in Easter Sunday; the joyful celebration of Jesus’ new life. Easter Sunday celebrates the new life available through his new life! You’ve got plenty of time to work up the courage to go to a church near you on Easter Sunday and find out all about it! If that’s too hard, get hold of a Bible and read Matthew, Mark, Luke or John’s stories. You can read those stories on line. But talking with someone is good. If you look up the phone number of any church in Richmond and Waimea they will cheerfully talk with you about Lent, Easter or more importantly, about Jesus.

MAKING HEIGHT EASY
Karen Carey This weekend the Nelson Speedway Association will once again be hosting the Brian Stanaway Roading Stock Shock. For the last few years the Stock Shock has been one of the “must attend” meetings, not just on the Nelson calendar but also on the calendar of many of the country’s top stockcar drivers. Last year a late clash of dates meant that the number of drivers attending was down on past seasons but that in no way impacted on the quality of racing. This year the entry list is sitting at around 30, ensuring some close action packed racing over the two days. The Stock Shock has a reputation for producing some of the hardest and most competitive racing in this class outside of a teams event and already the excitement is building within the Nelson Stockcar class. With a posse of 7 visitors coming from Blen-
heim, one can only assume that this will be the meeting where a few scores will be settled and a few early season paybacks meted out. Add to the entry list the return of ex superstock driver, Invercargill based Campbell McManaway, Stock Shock regular Tony Stanton from Greymouth and 3 Christchurch drivers Daniel McNally, Matt Cockburn, and Paul Anderson making their Stock Shock debut and the potential for a weekend of mayhem increases. The sole North Island representative is Kyle Heibner from Whanganui. Kyle has raced here before in his Youth Ministock and has been impressive since moving up to Stockcars. Last year’s winner, Tim Alexander is not racing this season so we are definitely looking for a new Stock Shock champion. Ralph Gillespie, a past top 3 place getter, will be a favourite to move further up the podium and take out the number one spot.

BOP hooker takes up dual role at Wanderers You’d be forgiven for thinking blue and gold were Daniel Perrin’s favourite colours. The Bay of Plenty hooker has joined Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers for the upcoming club rugby season as a player/coach and will look at using his recent Super 15 experience to help nurture the young talent in Brightwater. Wanderers will field a team in division one for the first time since 2006 thanks to a push from their two major sponsors Taylor’s Contracting and Golden Wings. The move into the coaching ranks is a natural transition for the 29 year-old Stoke resident, who has played off the bench for the Crusaders 12 times and was a part of the Chiefs 2011 Super 15 squad. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to get into after playing footy and when Wanderers first touched base with me and suggested they were after a coach as well, it was something I had to weigh up,” says Daniel. “I wasn’t making Super [Rugby] footy so I had to look at the next path, which is the coaching one.” Bay of Plenty hooker Daniel Perrin has been announced as a playJohnny Bloxham will take er/coach for Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers in their first year the backs while Daniel will back in the division one rugby competition since 2006.

Richmond Rabbits to be unveiled at 9s For most of the Richmond Rabbits, preseason training has included getting their heads around a new sport, but it will be the nine-a-side form of the game that Richmond’s newest rugby league franchise makes their debut in. The Richmond Rabbits are now a permanent fixture in the Tasman Rugby League calendar and despite naming Ngawhatu as their home ground, the foundations are purely Richmond. Unable to secure Ben Cooper Park, the Rabbits will share the “Snake Pit” with the Stoke Cobras. They had previously weighed up whether to play all their home games at away venues. But with the TRL season just weeks away, the side is firmly focussed on the Nelson Nines Rugby League tournament held at Trafalgar Park this Saturday. “We’re realistic about where we are going to be. But at the same time we’re setting high goals and we aim to be competitive,” says Deon Charles. The Richmond Rabbits has been made up of league players from other clubs, former rugby union players and some guys who are trying out for the first time. “Everyone has gelled together Jaiden van Dyk gets amongst the tackle bags at the Rich- quite well. We all get on and we’re all mond Rabbits training last week ahead of Saturday’s enjoying it.” TRL Nelson Nines tournament. Photo: Phillip Rollo. The Nines kicks off at 10am.

Veterans flock to Hope The Nelson Veterans Tournament took place over the weekend at the Hope Tennis Club with 110 entries, an increase on entries over the past few years. A social grade was introduced which proved very popular with many players entering their first Veterans Tournament. There were nine husband and wife combinations competing over the weekend and players came from West Coast, Marlborough and Canterbury to
take part in the 44th Annual Tournament. The youngest player was Julian Main of Canterbury, the minimum age required being 35 years and the oldest competitor was Nelson’s 85 year-old Joyce Jones competing in the social doubles. The standard of tennis was outstanding with some tough experienced competitors.

On April 6, 20 Waimea College students will depart on a three week trip of a lifetime. As part of their Classical Studies and History classes they will visit England, France and Italy with a stop in Dubai on the way home. Students will be able to visit in real life the places they study in textbooks, see with their own eyes the very pieces of art they consider, and walk in the footsteps of the characters they read about in Classical Studies and History. As well as directly helping the students with their studies, the trip will also expand their world-view and help encourage them to become citizens with a wider perspective on life, other peoples and places, giving them greater insight in their own dayto-day lives. From tasting frog legs in Paris, to seeing beggars in the streets of Rome, to hearing the call to prayer in Dubai, students will become intimately aware of the world outside their own. Beginning in London, the tour includes Hampton Court, Shakespeare’s Globe, the Tower of Lon-
don, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Winsor Castle. After London, the tour takes a relaxing ferry from Dover to Normandy and onto Versailles where the students will stay in a châteaux once occupied by Nazi forces. From there it is on to Paris and the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and then the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa. After some time out at Disney Land the tour departs for Southern France via Avignon and onto Nimes, Cannes and Monaco then Florence. Sights to visit in Florence and Northern Italy include Michelangelo’s David and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, then onto Rome and the Arch of Constantine, Colosseum, Ara Pacis, Trajan’s Column, Pantheon, catacombs and the Capitoline Museum to see the famous she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus. Just when it seemed about as hectic as it could be, the tour visits the Vatican including the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. From there it is onto Naples and Sorrento via Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli.
Waimea College Classical Studies and History students are from front left, Kelsi Hylkema, Sophie Strawbridge, Renee Downing, Lauren Lines, Bianca Fraser, Alice McCullough, Natasha Dunn, Karin McKenzie, Bailey Adamson and Emma Blake. Back row: James Auld, Monique Fisher, Jessie Johnston, Kirsten Ragan, Lauren Hill, Jayden Stringer, Dillon Boote and Kristeen Jensen. Absent: Morgan CollisFisher & Azure Paenga. After some pizza in Naples and a tour of the time capsule that is Pompeii, the students will have some rest and relaxation time in sleepy Sorrento. After a high speed train back to Rome and a flight to Dubai there is more time to recuperate before heading home. A gentle visit up the world’s tallest building (around
two and a half times taller than the Sky Tower in Auckland), a desert safari and a spot of belly dancing await the tour before it’s departure back to New Zealand. After a sleep in, no doubt the students will be straight onto Facebook to upload all their photos and be planning their next overseas adventure. Then
when they sit down for their NCEA exams at the end of the year and questions about something they have seen with their own eyes pops up, their answers will take on a whole different perspective. The students gratefully acknowledge the assistance of their sponsors to help make this trip possible.

Pursuant to powers provided to the Harbourmaster by the Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw 2005 (Amended 2006), the speed limits imposed by the Bylaw in relation to vessels within 50 metres of another vessel, or within 200 metres of shore or a structure are suspended for those vessels taking part and controlling the event. Also, exclusive use of Kerr Bay, Lake Rotoiti out to a line which heads due east from a point 200 metres south of the Brunner Peninsula is provided to the event organisers. The reserved area will therefore include the water ski access lane, swimming area, and those areas of water immediately adjacent to the launching ramps and beach at Kerr Bay. Vessels wishing to transit through or enter the reserved area during the event may do so only after consulting with the event organisers, and then may do so when, and under such conditions that the event organisers may choose to specify. Event communications may be using UHF radio, or Channel 17 on Marine VHF radio. Vessels entering or within the reserved area are requested to comply with any direction given by the event organisers or event officials relating to passage through that reserved area as if it was a direction given by the Harbourmaster. Persons wishing to swim from the lake shore or waterski are recommended to use West Bay. Waterskiiers should deep-water start anywhere more than 200m from shore outside of the reserved area, unless towed at less than 5 knots to or from the 200m line. Other conditions have been imposed and may be viewed at www.tasman.govt.nz /recreation/boating-fishing/special-events-and-activities Feel free to contact us:
