Son revives dormant modelling hobby Richmond's Steve Hannah is at last resuming a hobby he greatly enjoyed before being distracted by the busyness of work, family and travel. Not that he's finished with such commitments but Steve is slowly finding the time to bring some of his unassembled kitset planes in from the garage.

When asked by his wife Bernadette, "how many do you have in there?"

Steve mumbles "a couple" to which she replies, "a couple of hundred I bet."

Steve says, "I still vividly remember getting The Eagle Book of Aircraft for my sixth birthday and that sparked my interest in aviation. I particularly like historical stuff such as the warbirds and really enjoy the Classic Air Fighters Show they put on at Woodbourne near Blenheim."

It was at the last such show that Steve's nine-year-old son Tim got a twinkle in his eye and asked dad if he could buy a kitset plane.

Inspired by Tim's enthusiasm, Steve thinks a lot of those dusty boxes will be brushed off in months and years to come and the smell of modellers glue will once again waft through the Hannah house.

"I've been in hibernation as a modeller to a large extent but I'm just starting to get active again," says Steve.

Aviation fuel runs in the family's veins as Bernadette's father, the late Paul Hutchison who lived on the West Coast, was the youngest person to hold a full pilot's licence when he was just 16.

Steve is looking forward to the model plane exhibition which shows in conjunction with Nelson Aero Club's scholarships campaign at Richmond Mall from July 18 to 23 (see page 9 for more details).

Father furious after Facebook open party A Richmond man has become another victim of the seemingly innocuous - but when used foolishly, mischievous and potentially destructive - social networking website Facebook.

A local tradesman was advised by family to be anonymous, as revealing his identity might have a negative impact on his own business. He says he contacted Waimea Weekly to warn of the dangers of irresponsible and na誰ve use of this "obsessively popular" internet site.

We'll give him a fake name, Grant, though his story is fact.

Grant was working out of town, leaving his 18-year-old son (alias Sam) in charge of the house.

Sam, not heeding the harsh lessons, and in some cases disastrous consequences, of similar actions in New Zealand and abroad, innocently but very unwisely extended an open invitation to Facebook viewers to attend a party at his family home in the centre of residential Richmond.

Through logging-on and txt networking, Facebook messages can reach an unlimited audience in almost an instant.

Not surprisingly, Sam's party was inundated with an influx of visitors; a mix of welcome friends and unwanted strangers who came as opportunist revellers.

Absent, Grant was alerted to the party so phoned a friend in Richmond to disperse the ominous gathering.

"I'm told they reluctantly left my property as requested but some who were obviously peeved ripped up my lawn doing wheel spins," says Grant. "There was definitely alcohol consumed as you would expect but I believe drugs were also involved. Apparently a while later that night some of them returned. They smashed a door in my house and took items from my garage, including life jackets, a sea biscuit, gaiters, a chilly bin and probably some things I haven't missed yet," says Grant.

The police weren't notified immediately as Grant wanted to establish what part Sam had played in the shenanigans and who the real culprits were. (Continues page 4)

“We don’t need another one.

We’ve get two close together with more than ample choice. A new one would impact adversely on Fresh Choice in particular I think.”

Top chefs Beware of bogus scrap metal dealers Richmond Police are asking farmers and rural property owners in particular to be wary of visitors claiming to be scrap metal dealers.

Commuinity Constable Glenn Lloyd-Jones says, “We’ve had reports from farmers in the Redwood Valley and Hope areas, and right across Waimea Plains, of groups of men coming in to ask if they have any scrap metal they want to sell or dispose of.”

Glenn adds, “These people aren’t legitimate dealers at all, they’re scavengers who some-

times offer to pay a small price or do a bit of work in exchange for the scrap metal.”

He says when these people remove scrap metal they are onselling it to proper dealers and, while their activity is not illegal as such, it is undesirable and gives them a plausible reason to gain access to rural properties.

“They may be casing the place to see what else is worth coming back for and we quite often get reports of fuel thefts from farms.”

Details of any suspicious visitors to any private property should be reported to Richmond police.

Being read a story about a good old Kiwi boil-up inspired Pinegrove Kindergarten (situated in Brightwater) to organize a Master Chef competition for parents and their children.

Teacher aide Jacqui Hart says, "We thought this presented an opportunity to learn baking skills which could be followed by a shared lunch when we could test the results and have a social occasion."

Joanne and Maia Kininmonth won best cake while Louise and Helena Clives won best pie and were Supreme Master Chef winners.

Joanne says, "This was something practical and very enjoyable that kids could do with their parents; it was a lot of fun for us both."

Hoddy’s orchard worker wins Grower of the Year

Hoddy’s staff Kevin Withington attempts the irrigation component of the competition

It may sound like a case of horses for courses as orchard worker Kevin Withington won the inaugural Nelson Young Fruit Grower of the Year competition held at his own workplace, Hoddy’s Orchard in Hope.

That wasn’t the case though as Kevin won the contest fair and square, with no advantage gained from familiar surroundings.

Organiser Andrew Kininmonth was delighted with the reaction to the competition; from contestants,

commercial sponsors and other interested observers.

“I’m absolutely rapt with how it went. The support was phenomenal and everyone here indicated that they are very keen to be involved next year so it should be just that much bigger. We’ve really started something,” says Andrew.

Hawkes Bay’s version of this competition has snowballed since inception five years ago and now features a careers expo and trade show.

Contestants, all under 30 years, were put through a series of exercises including practical challenges such as assembling irrigation and loading a truck with pallets, and a test of their knowledge related to fruit growing.

Kevin won the Energie Fruit Charitable Trust Trophy, $1500 cash, return flights to Hawkes Bay to look at their growing practices, and a place in the NZ Fruit Grower of the Year competition later in the year.

Hope school art class

Artists with printed cushions, from left, back: Max Barclay and Campbell King; in front, Isaac Breingan, Danielle Smith, Penelope Smith and Lucy Radman-Brown

Hope School relief teacher and landscape painter Greta Greenwood runs after-school art classes for students. The wonderful creations from these workshops show advanced ability among the dozen or so children who gather for just over an hour once a week for eight sessions each term.

"This is for our kids who enjoy doing art during the normal school curriculum and at home and want to take it a bit further," says Greta.

This term the theme was printmaking and the children did screen printing and used stencils and stamps such as pieces of fruit, footwear and other objects to create monoprints and colour-contrasted pictures.

"This term we looked at the painter Matisse and we incorporated quite a lot of autumn shapes and colours in our art," says Greta.

As usual an end of term exhibition was held at the school, during which parents viewed their children's artistic ability over a cup of coffee and chat.

Aircraft modellers, start your glue tubes A Kyote 2 aircraft will be 'plane to see' inside the Richmond Mall from July 18 to 23. Registered as a microlite, but much more substantial than that precarious looking contraption which buzzed through the Mad Max movies, the beauty of the Kyote 2 is that its wings fold back to allow easy entry to the mall.

Kevin Allport, who is senior training instructor and chief testing officer at Nelson Aero Club, says, "It would be a major and expensive task to dismantle and reassemble a more

fixed wing aircraft, and this model (Rans S6ES) is very popular and performs very well."

Nelson Aero Club are using this opportunity to promote awareness of their club and the exciting scholarships which are open for applications again.

To add to the display and information stand, Richmond Mall are keen to create an exhibition of model planes and invites anyone who has built a model in the past, or wants to construct one especially for this occasion, to bring it to the customer service

desk before July 18.

Mall manager David Hill says, "There must be thousands of model planes out there, sitting on mantelpieces, tucked away in wardrobes or stored in the garage. People should dust these off and bring them along for others to see, or buy a kitset from one of the shops and get building."

As an added incentive David will appoint someone to decide a winning entry and then present the owner with $100 cash and $100 of mall spending vouchers.

Just a thought from a hat man

Alison Higgins, on the right, wins the South Island Endurance Championship at Blenheim on Wakefield-bred Twynham El Omar. After 160kms it came down to a neck and neck gallop to the finish line

Rotoiti horse and rider bound for World games Rotoiti equestrian endurance rider Alison Higgins has been selected as part of a five member team to contest the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Kentucky, USA in September.

“All five of us this time around are women so it will be girlpower over there,” says Alison.

With several star rated horses available to her, Alison was able to meet and exceed WEG selection criteria at national championships, including a win on Twynham El Omar at the South Island Championships at Blenheim in the gruelling 160kms event.

"I won in an exciting gallop finish on this horse, an 11year-old Anglo Arab gelding, which was bred at Wai-iti by

the late Leo Nisbett. This is the third horse that Leo has bred which will represent New Zealand at WEG. “Omar is owned by my parentsin-law, Lloyd and Ruth Higgins, and was sired by Whispering Jack which is owned by Graham Baigent of Wakefield so this victory with me aboard had a totally local flavour," says Alison.

Each of the five riders chosen to represent New Zealand will be accompanied to Kentucky by two groomers, and one of Alison's staff will be her husband Phillip.

Competition begins on September 26 but Alison says because all competitors have to meet their own expensive travel costs she still has a load of fundraising to do in the meantime. "I'll be flat out catering for events, running

raffles, doing anything which raises money and if there are any readers who are able to help me in any way make this dream become a reality for me I would be most appreciative to hear from them," says Alison.

She can be contacted by phoning 03 5211884 or emailing twynham1@farmside.co.nz Alison says, "The ambitious target I set myself and dreamed of being able to achieve back in 2007 has now become a reality, thanks to countless hours of doing a whole lot of hard work.

“My ultimate goal is to get a podium (first three) finish at WEG in Kentucky and this is just a step away. I'll do everything it takes to achieve this and continue New Zealand's amazing record in equestrian competition overseas," says Alison.

Murchison fire brigade recognised in awards Murchison Volunteer Fire Brigade received a commendation among the Trustpower Community Awards announced on Monday night.

The citation acknowledged, “Eighteen volunteer fire fighters and two operational support volunteers in Murchison work to reduce the incidence and consequence of fire, provide a professional response to emergencies and protect their community. This is routine activity but over the last 12 months the brigade has had an extraordinarily tough time. The district suffered a large number of fatal incidents over a one-month period. This was an emotionally distressing time for many of the volunteer members, but it also brought to light their dedication and professionalism. In total over the last year the Murchison brigade has attended 60 callouts - with about 90% being motor vehicle accidents and the other 10% structural fires. They have also provided safety information, distributed fire alarms and held planned building evacuations, which has been a huge commitment for a volunteer team.”

Our library ‘will be the envy of other districts’ An encouraging crowd of supporters turned out on Saturday morning to see Tasman District Mayor Richard Kempthorne officially open the magnificent upgraded Richmond Library.

He said the $2.2m project had been six years in the melting pot, but was worth every day of the wait as Tasman district now had

a magnificent multi-purpose facility which would be the envy of other districts throughout the country.

The mayor, who attended the iwi blessing of the library on Thursday, said, "This is a stunning library compared to what we used to have; it's a great community asset and is a shining example of

just how much libraries have evolved in a short time. They're much broader than the historical library concept of a quiet place where you browse, borrow books and return to swap them two or three weeks later." The mayor said this is a great place for kids, with much more space to move around and the café area is a great

facility. "It's a really nice place to be," he said.

Tasman libraries manager Catherine Bryham paid tribute to all those who had been involved in bringing the concept of this wonderful spacious library to reality and expected the novelty aspect could see an increase in business by up to 30% based

Richmond Library member Catena Galpin reads to her sons Ollie Galpin and Seth Galpin-Blackburn who just love their visits to exchange story books. The big comfortable chair for readers and young listeners is one of many new features

Imaginarium first of its kind Tasman Libraries manager Catherine Bryham describes the new Imaginarium as “state of the art; the first of its kind in a public library anywhere in New Zealand.”

Catherine says with the modern equipment and advanced technology available in the Imaginarium members of the community “will be able to create films and digital oral histories, work with digitised photos and lay down audio and

video tracks and use and enhance their computer graphics skills.

“This space can be used as a recording studio so should prove very popular with budding and talented musicians, of which this district has an abundance.

“In fact people will be able to achieve almost anything the creative minds inherent in our district can imagine,” says Catherine.

The Imaginarium is acoustically tiled and reduces noise emissions

by 85%, so is no distraction to library customers in adjacent areas.

Constance Barnicoat was New Zealand’s first woman journalist and was also a keen mountaineer who grew up in the Richmond area. “She was quite an intrepid woman,” says Catherine.

The Barnicoat name is attached to a street (Place) in Richmond and

a range of hills behind the town.

Catherine says, “There is a lack of meeting space around town and we have anothe room situated upstairs which is ideal for small groups, up to eight people.”

Being a local will be no advantage to drivers in the upcoming Rally Nelson. With nearly all of the course over forestry roads that are closed to the public for most of the year, its going to be pure driver skill and car reliability that get the teams home to the finish line. And some of New Zea-

Starting on the Saturday the cars and teams head to the southern side of Spooners Range, to the popular spectating area of Spooners Lookout, and the service park will be Tapawerabased. On the Sunday everyone heads to catch the action live at the Richmond showgrounds. This will bring the rallying up close and personal as all cars will compete twice in this stage as part of the final day of the rally. The service park will also be there so what a great way to see all the teams in action.

Waimea win battle of the Bridge

By Aleisha Hart

conversion.

Wanderers players were surprised to hear the final whistle when their clock was still showing six minutes to play.

Players of the day for Wanderers were Taylor Lockhead and Hud Davis, while Scott Lines was Waimea's choice.

Wanderers held their court session

in the evening after the game and all players and their coaches and manager all dressed up for this fun occasion.

There are only two round robin games left for these teams before the semi-finals on July 24.

It is likely Waimea and Wanderers will meet again at the business end of the season.

Super Liquor Waimea Bs have made it 12 rugby wins for the season after a close call with Taylors Wanderers who were able to deny Waimea's aim to secure a bonus point from four tries.

Waimea still stand clear and on top of this competition.

This traditional clash of the neighbouring clubs pulled a large crowd.

Waimea's strength was its mauling, often forcing Wanderers backwards in their own half.

The few clearcut scoring opportunities were taken by the backs, with hard straight running bringing tries to Waimea's Luke Thelin and Mike Bates with a double.

John Higgins and Josh Rutledge each kicked a conversion for Waimea.

Wanderers’ Tyler Bergman was rewarded for chasing a kick with their only try late in the match to bring them within striking range.

Wanderers’ Jessie Alford continued his meticulous kicking with eight points Wanderers player Ryan Trafford charges at Waimea defence from two penalty goals and a

Senior 3rds appeal for total support Jubilee Park will again put on a show of action packed entertainment for free this weekend when the Waimea Old Boys division three rugby side go head to head against Motueka United in the grand final.

Leave those annoying vuvuzelas at home but round up your family and friends and get along to the park for the 2pm kickoff.

Waimea coach Brent Stewart says, “With the match score even at one win each this year, both sides will step it up for what will be a thrilling final.

“On behalf of the Waimea team I ask for your support - the strength of a vocal, loyal and parochial crowd cannot be underestimated. I look forward to seeing and hearing you all at Jubilee Park,” says Brent.

Whiting one of seven Waimea players in Makos Stables Waimea Old Boys halfback Kaide Whiting has been rewarded for an outstanding club season with selection to the Tasman Makos for the 2010 ITM Cup. Kaide (19) was disappointed to miss out on a place in the NZ Under-20 team which ultimately thrashed all opponents on the way to retaining the World Cup last month.

He said, "The way that trial went didn't allow me to show all my skills. Making the Makos playing squad was one of my major aims this season so I'm excited to get the chance for this exposure on the national scene." The aggressive style in which Kaide attacks the advantage line as required and his high work rate in cover

own against some of the top players in New Zealand. Being on the same stage as Sonny-Bill Williams would be awesome and I’d love the chance to mark Kahn Fotuali’i when we play Hawkes Bay in the first home game at Blenheim.”

Kaide suffered concussion in Waimea’s semi-final loss to Nelson 11 days ago and will be assessed by Makos physio staff on Friday to determine whether he can play in a warmup match on Sunday.

Prop Sam Prattley, who was part of that World Cup campaign, is New Makos halfback also one of the seven Waimea Kaide Whiting players in the Makos squad; the defence were no doubt major fac- others being Ben Coman (lock), tors in his selection.

Glen Gregory (loose forward), Kaide told Waimea Weekly, “I can’t Fai Mika (prop), Blair Cook (wing/ wait to play against and hold my utility) and James Kamana (full-

back/utility). Forward Hamish Cochrane was unavailable due to injury.

Former Waimea division one club coach and long time Waimea College First XV coach Errol Thelin was pleased to see Coman get the call-up, saying, "I'm very impressed with his work rate and ethic; he's been one of the outstanding forwards in Nelson Bays club rugby this season and the reward for such effort should always be the chance to represent your province."

Ben Coman carries on an impressive family tradition with his grandad Bill being a long time Nelson rep forward, father Gordon played 26 games for Nelson Bays and brother Mike has played No 8 among an All Black-studded Canterbury pack.

Gregory, Kamana and Cook have all played for the Makos before while Mika comes from the Southland Ranfurly Shield team.

The Makos first hit out in preparation for the ITM Cup is against the Buccaneers (a Nelson Bays rep selection) at Brightwater this Sunday at 2pm.

They then play Canterbury at Blenheim on July 16 and Otago at Dunedin on July 22.

The first game of the ITM Cup is against Wellington at 'the cake tin' on Sunday, August 1.

Sonny-Bill Williams is unlikely to play for Canterbury at Blenheim next week after undergoing keyhole surgery on his knee but it is hoped he will play at Nelson on August 21 when Canterbury comes to town.

O’lea goal a winner Everyone knows victory is sweet, no matter what sport you play.

But for the Richmond Athletic Football Club it's especially sweet to beat close rivals Suburbs in all three fixtures at the weekend.

Queen Street Pharmacy Richmond Thistle knew a win would secure them the 3rd division title and they didn't disappoint.

Suburbs started well but Thistle took control at the 20-minute mark when Chris Millson found the net after some structured play.

Wayne Anderson soon added a second goal with a delicate chip over the head of the keeper and a third arrived before half time when Mike Reilly struck. Thistle then continued the assault in the second half with Reilly adding his second and Hung Pham adding to his season tally with two more.

The final blow came when Gary Owen took off his keeper gloves and was sent forward. After a few close chances Gary finally powered a shot home, insisting that all goal keepers are great strikers.

This made the final score 7-0.

The other 3rd division side, Stags side drew 1-1 in a close game against Mapua. The match began furiously with a goal each after two minutes, then settled down to a hard fought battle without a winner from either side. Tim Hall scored Richmond's goal, Steve Scott was presented with the Man of the Match and mention went to

Aaron Jukes who was in great form.

The 2nd division team continue to improve and are really beginning to play some nice, consistent football. Both Nick Gibson and Sean Barker found the back of the net, helping their team to a 2 - 1 win against Suburbs. Glenn Pearless, showing form that will probably see him get a call-up to the 1st division side before the end of the season, had a strong game and was rewarded as Man of the Match.

The 1st division boys played Suburbs at Saxton Field in what promised to be a physical encounter after the two last met under lights at Wakefield Domain - and it definitely lived up to that.

With end to end play and a spate of free kicks, it was well into the second half when Richmond finally took the lead with yet another goal from in-form striker Wesley O'lea. Coaches Cary Hamson and Steve Bignall were satisfied with the 1-0 win and three competition points. They complimented their keeper, Karl Numan, who had one of his best games of the season, denying Suburbs on several occasions, and also Ryan Goodwin who gave another very strong performance.

The 1st division take on secondplaced Marlborough United at Jubilee Park this Saturday.
