Village owners won’t talk It appears an independent arbitrator will once again assess whether a proposed 120 per cent hike in lease payments for the towns most vulnerable residents will go ahead, after the owners of Waimea Village walked away from the bargaining table last week.

Last year Michael and Carolyn Wright, owners of Waimea Village, tried to raise the monthly lease payment by 120 per cent.

When the residents argued the increase, the Wrights took residents of the village to arbitration. The Wrights received a 54 per cent increase but are now trying to charge the residents $19,690 for having to visit the arbitrator last year. Another trip to the arbitrator this year, as the Wrights are demanding, would likely incur a similar charge for residents.

Michael and Carolyn did not answer questions put

to them by Waimea Weekly via an email last week and would not return phone calls, but they sent a letter to leaseholders last week stating that “any negotiations with the [Waimea Village] Residents Committee have been compromised and that in the best interests of everyone concerned the 2012 levy proposal goes straight to an independent arbitrator”.

This was after multiple copies of the proposed lease increase, handed out to resident’s committee members on the condition they keep it secret, were stuffed in the front door of the Waimea Weekly office.

Waimea Weekly printed what was in the proposal but incorrectly reported that the lease payments would be $284 a week, that price is in fact per month, up from $80 per month residents were

Tapawera artist up for prestigious award Tapawera artist Emma Panting’s portrait of a St Arnaud school girl has been selected as a finalist for the New Zealand Portrait Gallery’s Adam Award.

Emma, who runs the art program at Tapawera Area School, is currently in the process of creating an exhibition for portraits of people within the area.

All of her portraits are painted at a scale larger than real life.

Emma has entered the competition before, which is held bi-annually in Wellington.

She has now made it through to the final round of judging, which will be held during an exhibition from February 22.

She will also enter the People’s Choice Award.

While the portrait was designed for her own collection, one of the conditions for the competition states that the winning portrait would become part of the New Zealand Portrait Gallery’s exhibition. The winning portrait would also tour the length of the country.

Emma says the portrait, which is not allowed to be publicly viewed until after judging, is the largest she has ever done. “I always work bigger than life size but I wanted to show some sort of movement. I know she’s a young adolescent moving from childhood into teenage years and I wanted to show that change in her,” says Emma. “I like to show BRUSHING ASIDE THE COMPETITION: Emma Panting has been busy the emotions in people.” painting portraits for her own exhibition, one of them is up for the New Zea- Emma’s husband is the principal ® Stressless land Portrait Gallery’s Adam Award.

When the Wrights took over the village seven years ago the price was $50 per month.

Residents of Waimea Village own their homes and fully paid for the lease of their land up front, they also pay normal council rates, insurance, power and all other the normal living costs.

The lease payments they make to the Wrights are for services, including rubbish collection, common area maintenance and a courtesy coach.

The proposed increase was prepared by WHK partner John Murray.

Two hundred and nineteen speed related offences were issues over the long weekend as local police cracked down on speeding.

Tasman District Police were out in force over Waitangi weekend enforcing the lower 4kph speed tolerance.

Highway patrol team leader Stu Wright says “generally everyone was well behaved” with a lot of traffic on the road. “There were a number of persons who were issued with infringement noticed,” he says.

Stu says half of the infringement notices issued were under the “old tolerance level.”

The highest reported speed was more than 130kph.

Tasman District road policing manager inspector Jenni Richardson says it was part of the national Safer February road policing campaign, police would also breath tested every driver stopped and checked for seatbelt use.

Couple returns to honeymoon spot 65 years later Phillip Rollo Don and Merle Fraser certainly have plenty of love to share. The Richmond couple recently spent their 65th wedding anniversary at their honeymoon spot in Akaroa, a near parallel universe from Don’s volunteer counselling work where he has turned around the lives of heroin addicts and suicidal schizophrenics.

Don and Merle’s daughter paid for the couple to visit Akaroa for their blue sapphire wedding.

Everyone had rung around saying how special the anniversary was so when they arrived in Akaroa, they had two free dinner vouchers at top restaurants, a free boat trip to see the dolphins and seals and a free trip into the Giants House. “It was just lovely and they were so good to us,” says Merle.

Don says the owners of the Wilderness House, where they first spent their honeymoon, had remembered them from their 60th anniversary and had struck up a friendship with the couple.

Merle says “it’s amazing” to reach the milestone. “We’ve worked hard all our lives. It’s a dream really to do it.”

Don always tries to do something special for the anniversary and he says the 65th definitely had to top everything else. “The next special one will be 70 if we ever get there.”

They remember the 1947 wedding like it was yesterday, down to the final detail.

The wedding was at the Church of Christ

in Gisborne and Merle was right on time.

Her mother sold the organ to pay for it.

They originally wanted to get married in Wellington, but the family wanted them to return home for the occasion.

The newlyweds were quick to skip town though and headed south for their honeymoon. Don’s sister lived in Okains Bay, over the ridge from Akaroa, and could not make it to the wedding. So Don and Meryl decided to make the trip from Gisborne to the South Island.

It was a two-day trip to Akaroa, through ferry, buses and mail cars to finally arrive at their destination.

The homestead they stayed at was called the Wilderness in 1947 and Meryl laughs that it “was a wilderness” back then too.

Don has been a volunteer counsellor most of his life and brought home drug addicts and schizophrenics for the couple to look after. “People hadn’t been loved. We just love them to bits and they’d come right,” says Merle.

One girl had been in care for eight years, following the suicide of her own mother, but she was helped in just nine months with the Frasers. Another was a heroin addict given only three weeks to live. But he survived.

Don admits the toughest time in their marriage was losing their daughter to skin cancer when she was only 33 years-old.

“That was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to handle.”

Don previously worked in the government service for 18 years, in the post office. Mer-

le used to be a nurse, getting paid just five pound six pence a month.

They have always had a united faith for God, so it was no surprise to hear that they first met at a church in Wellington. “I said I hated him when I first saw him because he kept staring at me in church,” laughs Merle.

They have since moved to Richmond to be closer to their family. They probably couldn’t be any closer too, as there are now four generations of family members on the same street.

Since living in Nelson for the past 12 years, the couple have gone back to Akaroa several times, usually staying at the camping grounds in the cabins.

The Frasers have 19 great grand children and 15 grand children. Don says

the marriage has been so successful because they started off with a sound basis that they loved each other and that they intended to be supportive to each other, no matter what. “It was based on love and it was based on respect. We both come from families where our parents had good marriages and we wanted to have it like that, but even better.”

They are looking forward to their next visit to Akaroa in five years time.

Record numbers at Flower Show The Summer Flower Show in Brightwater flourished over the weekend despite a series of unfortunate events that were overcome on route to one of the most successful shows in recent years. Organisers were extremely happy with the attendance, especially the turnout on Sunday which was much greater than in years past.

The quality of flowers on show at the Brightwater Hall was unparalleled given the circumstances according to Pamela Sirett, secretary for the Brightwater Horticultural Society. “We were absolutely amazed that they’re so good because of the terrible weather we have had,” says Pamela.

The unseasonal weather and December’s flooding can severely damage bulbs and young flowers. De-

spite this the green thumbs around Waimea still managed to present some stunning flowers albeit a week later than expected. “We actually had to delay the show by one week because the gladiolus weren’t out and just came out this week, says Pamela.

Adding to the hurdles was another act of nature as one of the principal growers was bitten by a cat and was unable to pick any flowers at all. Having one of the primary sources of cut flowers sabotaged by a feline nuisance could have left a gaping hole along the tables, but the community got together to remedy the situation.

“We touted round the local people and we all pitched in together. We had next-door neighbours offering to cut flowers, it was a real community effort.”

NEWS IN BRIEF DOVEDALE HOST COUNTY FAIR: Valentines and their families will be flocking to the Dovedale Country Affair this Sunday to sample the delicious old-fashioned lemon cordial the Year 3’s at Dovedale School are making, along with a range of entertainment, stalls and exhibitions. This truly is a community fair and everyone helps to make it a very special day, including the children.

Everyone will have something to do that they love. Dovedale School will be performing at 11.30am followed by a scything race at 12noon. The amazing Zafir will cook a meal for 100 people in just 30mins, starting at 2pm or perhaps you’d rather see the dog handling or the now almost lost skill of tobacco tying. Gates open at 11am – 5pm.

From My Desk Listening to the excited voices of children as they go shopping for the latest in pens, pencil cases and notebooks from Smiggle, grabbing the coolest backpacks from Amazon and dropping by Living and Giving to replace those old lunch boxes from last year, I with many other parents let out a sigh of relief that our children are back in school where they can get back to a daily routine and we can stop and enjoy a well deserved coffee, catching up with friends and hearing of their summer adventures.

Wednesday is the perfect day to stock up on eggs, fresh fruit and veges from the farmers market. Taking the time to investigate all the other stalls which range from pastries, shortbread, freshly baked pita and other delights.

Language no barrier for Armstrongs When the Armstrong family headed to Vietnam for 18 months they made one pact – whatever opportunities or disgusting food was on offer, they had to try it.

School teachers Cade and Glenna Armstrong took their three children, Oliver, 12, Lauren, 9 and Maddy, 6, to Vietnam in 2010 after an opportunity came up to work at an international school. Cade’s brother Regan also lives in Vietnam and works as principal of the school, and had been pestering Cade about coming over for years.

“We didn’t have any reason not to go over there,” says Cade. “So we went and it was great.”

At international schools there is a twin-school system where some classes are taught in English with some in Vietnamese.

Oliver was quick to learn Vietnamese and could have a conversation, while the rest of the family could say simple greetings.

But the biggest culture shock for the family, apart from the traffic, was the level of education at the school over there. “Their core subRichmond’s Armstrong family from left; Oliver, 12, Lauren, 9, Maddy, 6, jects are really hard, way higher than what our Glenna and Cade during an 18-month working holiday in Vietnam. Cade kids would do here.” Teachers had to be at work and Glenna worked at an international school which the three kids also at 8am and and could not leave before 5pm. attending. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Food on the trip included scorpions, snakes and fish. Except the fish was swimming freely in a tank right before your eyes, before it was sent to the kitchen.

Just a thought... Community rallies Last week I watched the final of the Rugby Sevens on TV and I was interested to hear the comments of DJ Forbes, the captain of the winning New Zealand team. I also saw my wife’s parents being interviewed on TV One’s ‘Close Up’ regarding their perspectives on marriage and the keys to the success of their 65 years together as a married couple. Both had the same simple recipe for their success.

DJ Forbes’ immediate comment when asked about their winning recipe he said “in the bible it says where there is unity, God commands a blessing.” He then explained the importance of being united as a team and the benefits that follow from being able to play as a team rather than as individuals. The big challenge of course is to learn how to shape and mould the individuals into a team that thinks about us and not just about me, about our goals rather than my goals.

Don and Merle Fraser spoke about the challenges that we all face in our relationships and especially in marriage, which is intended to be the closest and richest, most meaningful of all human relationships. Marriage as God intended it is based on the man and the woman leaving their parents, and becoming, as Jesus put it as “one flesh,” so that they no longer think and live as two separate individuals, but as one, no longer thinking about Ross Ferguson me, my wants, my needs, my Richmond Comgoals. A huge challenge, but munity Church.

Jesus not only explained the purpose of meaningful relationships and successful marriages, but he also gave us the recipe.

He gave us the ‘Why?’ as well as the ‘How?’ The principles and challenges are exactly the same, whether it is in marriage, sport, politics or the work-place or wherever decisions have to be made that affect the lives of others. This currently includes discussion on political topics such as Waitangi Day and how we work through all the sensitive historical issues related to the Treaty and a little closer to home, as we in Tasman and Nelson discuss, debate or argue about the amalgamation of our councils.

The key is not to let selfish ambitions or personal agendas or differing personalities cloud the important issues of what is the best for the greatest number. One of the greatest teachers of all time was the Apostle Paul. He spoke on humility as being a key to coming to a place of unity.

“Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves.

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.” That is something worth thinking about.

for ambulance pull A vintage ambulance will be tiki-touring the region on Saturday – but don’t expect it to cover much ground.

The 1940 International ambulance is in Nelson this weekend where it will make its way from the Richmond Mall to the Nelson Car Show, next to the Speight’s Ale House.

Groups of eight will take turns pulling the ambulance 8km along roads to the car show all in the name of raising funds for a new St John ambulance.

The Ambulance Pull will leave Richmond Mall (Talbot St) at 10am.

Contact Sarah McCabe on 546 9445 for more info.

Hard work pays off as meat prices soar Phillip Rollo

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES: Boutereys owner Matt Bouterey is closing down the restaurant and will travel around the country with his family. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Top restaurant closing down

One of New Zealand’s most awarded restaurants, Richmond’s Boutereys, is closing down.

Owner Matt Bouterey confirmed the decision last week and will now travel around New Zealand with his family, before returning to Nelson in the future.

He says it was time for change and despite being named a winner of Cuisine Magazine’s Best Smart Dining Regional award in 2009 and 2010, they just weren’t prepared to tackle another Nelson winter. “It’s just time for a change. It’s been a great restaurant and we’ve had a lot of fun,” he says.

Matt wanted to thank all of his staff, saying it was a team effort, making the restaurant what it was.

The building will now become a cafe, owned by a local couple.

George Sims has been a farmer for more than 50 years and he’s never seen the price of meat this good.

The Hoult Valley farmer likes being his own boss. He decides what time to get up in the morning. He decides what time to clock out. But after decades of hard work, sometimes choosing to do up to 100 hours a week on the farm with only five hours of sleep a day, it’s definitely paying off as lamb prices reach up to $160 each at the meat works, the highest George has ever witnessed.

Described by local shearers as one of the last remaining “old school farmers” around, the 73 year-old plied his trade as a sheep shearer when he first left school, just so he could save up to buy his own land.

Two new farms later, thanks to two generous offers from his neighbours, George made his way from Golden Bay to Murchison and now to Wakefield.

He says the freedom to do his own thing has always be a huge coup. “You haven’t got to punch a clock. You don’t have to be there at half past seven [am], even though I start long before that. If you get yourself organised you can go for a hunt.

But it’s all down to me and if I do a good job them I’m satisfied,” he says.

George says he was always meant to be a farmer. When he was 15 years-old, his Dad pulled him out of school. “That was my career started for me. But I think that’s what I wanted to do anyway.”

George worked on the family farm in Takaka for five years, before leaving home to be a shearer. His father didn’t

want him to leave, but George went anyway.

“I don’t know why he never wanted me to go. Same with he never wanted me to play rugby.” George was a talented second-five eighth for the Golden Bay/Motueka school boy reps. But he reckons his father was just trying to protect him from the drinking culture.

Once he earned enough cash to buy his own farm, George became a sheep and beef farmer, along with his “better half ” Hilda.

When his neighbours wanted to expand, he was bought out and moved to a bigger location near the Owen River.

However, the winter was long and George says he was prob- 73 year-old Wakefield farmer George Sims gets down to ably 10 years older business in the shearing shed.

Ride for Hope this weekend The Richmond Mall Foundation Ride for Hope will be roaring through Tasman this weekend, raising money for those that really need it.

The ride, from Nelson to Motueka and back to Hope, will be raising funds for the Richmond Mall Foundation and will held on this Saturday February 11.

The funds raised on the day will go back into the community, supporting local charities and people who are at risk, says Richmond Mall manager David Hill.

The Richmond Rodeo and the Ride for Hope are the two big fundraisers for the foundation this year.

Entry is just $10 for either rider or passengers and includes a badge, spit roast lunch, soft drink and entry into the prize pool featuring a whopping 20-30 prizes. Prizes include two one-year motorcycle registrations, radio controlled helicopters, All Blacks and Rugby World Cup gear, hundreds of dollars worth of Richmond Mall vouchers and plenty more.

“It’s not only a fun day out but there’s an enormous amount of prizes donated to give away as well,” says David.

Riders can register on the day. If you are interested in joining in this great cause then you can meet at the Trafalgar Centre at 9am before a briefing and then take off.

The ride’s conclusion will be held at the Hope Domain.

Last year was the first ever Ride for Hope and featured more than 250 riders.

For Ezy Kitchens, the name says it all. Whether you’re looking to renovate, update, or put the perfect kitchen in a home you’re building, talk to the team at Ezy Kitchens and they’ll make the whole process simple from start to completion.

Their showroom displays their ranges for varying budgets, so whether you’ve got a limited budget or are willing to go all out, you can get ideas and inspiration.

The Open Day will give you the chance to grab some great rewards, with a giveaway on items including kitchen appliances.

even a Work in Progress category. For a full list of categories, check the website. You can enter your car or motorbike online or just bring it on the day; gates open for vehicles at 9am each day. Last year they managed to fit over 300 cars and bikes onto the showgrounds, so get your soap and wax out and bring out your car’s shine for the show.

There are prizes for each category’s winner which will include goodies like a Speights Ale House voucher and more. The burnout competition is sponsored by Sturgeon’s Amusements, with a massive $1000 for the winner. Everyone who enters a car on the day will go into a random draw with a new set of tyres from Mag & Turbo for the winner.

Even with the massive range of vehicles that will be on display, cars aren’t the only reason to come to the Nelson Car Show. The burnout competition held on the Saturday from 12pm to 3pm is sure to get hearts racing, with a Motocross jump display held before and after. The Sunday will be the main show day, with band Krazy Kats playing from 10am, the RC stock car racing, and of course the all important judging of the cars and prize giving, which will be held at around 3pm.

There will be hot food and cold drinks, and Speights Ale House will be setting up a hospitality tent so you can grab a cold beer. To keep the little ones amused, there will be a bouncy castle.

This Friday, the night before the show opens, there will be an evening cruise from 4pm, start-

PH 544 1660

Open Monday - Saturday

The Nelson Tigers clawed their way to the ENZED stockcar teams racing championship final, surpassing last year’s controversial exit, before car troubles ruined their hopes of getting one over rivals and hometown team the Palmerston North Panthers.

Team captain and former 1NZ Dale Ewers’ car didn’t even make it through the first lap, surrendering to the infield due to electrical problems.

With Blair Cunningham, Shane Harwood and Brett Nicholls left to hunt the Panthers, the job seemed a lot more difficult with a car down.

Brett attempted to go around Peter Bengston but was instead sent up the wall and onto his side on the home straight, calling an end to his day’s racing.

Shane got the better of Scott Joblin in turn two but, when Blair’s car called it quits, it was Shane that was left to fend for himself against three Panther cars, as the Tigers failed to capture their third team’s title, handing Palmy its 15th.

Shane Penn took out the title race.

South Island champion Brett Nicholls says the better team won on the night, following a series of bad luck for the visitors. “Blair’s gearbox, my car getting rolled and Dale had electrical problems,” says Brett.

While he says it wasn’t overly disappointing, despite failing at the final hurdle, Brett says the team were definitely after a victory.

Close to 15,000 speedway fans packed into the Robertson Holden International Speedway, with dozens of supporters making the trip north from Nelson.

The team was reasonably confident after day one, surpassing Auckland and Whanganui. “We knew Whanganui was going to be hard and we were real happy to beat them and we beat them quite comfortably in the end too,” he says.

The team will gather again next month for more teams racing in Auckland.

This weekend’s racing will see the South Island Midget Championship held at the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Speedway on Saturday night. Nevil Basalaj and Nick Marquet will be the hometown favourites, as per usual. The superstocks will also be on show with the closed club championship.

Brett says he is expecting a tough ride, with any of the Nelson drivers a potential favourite. Both of the Boote cars, plus the five Tigers will all be in action. Brett says one driver to watch will be young Dale McKenzie who is the fifth member of the Nelson Tigers. “Man he’s really stepped up another gear in Nelson and he’s going to be hard to beat.”

Brett admits it will be weird putting his regular car body on this week. “You got to go into the club champs without trusting anybody. Everybody is going to be pushing hard to win the club champs because it’s a fairly big event out here.

There’s 15 or 16 cars going for it. She’s gonna be hard work.”

Dale Ewers only made it through one lap of the ENZED New Zealand superstock teams racing championship final loss on the weekend. Palmerston North Panthers took the title for the 15th year, denying Nelson its third. Photo: Brendon Learmonth/www.squarephotography.co.nz

College edge Wakatu but miss out on final A solid 48 runs from batsman Daniel Hooper and a five wicked bag from Shaw Mori has handed Waimea College an eight run win over Wakatu 2nd XI at Ngawhatu on Saturday.

Coach Lee Smith says it was a suprising win for the young side, who have punched above their weight in the limited overs form of the game,

especially at 63/2 after eight overs chasing 118.

“The Twenty20 is always a bit harder for the school boys because they haven’t got the same power,” he says.

Waimea College missed out on a final spot in the second division final but will now focus on the D’Arcy Cup, a tournament for secondary schools.

Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club Earthquakes have been a real killer for fishermen and women over the past week or so. We don’t know why, but fish do not like earthquakes so a lot of areas have been pretty quiet.

Delaware Bay was really hard work for those who made the trip, with one boat getting just a few fish for a day’s work. The news was equally poor for Kenepuru and Pelorus, both areas are very patchy and we haven’t heard of anyone catching anything of any significance for a while.

Now for some good news, the snapper are still fishing quite well in Tasman Bay, we’ve heard stories

of some really good catches out there. Another good spot has been the Ruby Bay end of Rabbit Island where plenty of bream between 25 and 35cm mark have been caught.

Also along the Bolder Bank, there has been plenty of action.

We saw some good sized Kingfish being caught just off the lighthouse by members of the fishing club, they were about 75-95cm long.

Tip of the week: Head to the Ruby Bay end of Rabbit Island or off the Boulder Bank near the Glen in about 60 to 70 feet of water. Target them with flasher rigs and a small bit of squid.

You are advised to boil all your drinking water for at least one minute for the following: - Drinking water - Food preparation - Utensil washing - Washing your teeth - Pets - Ice Thank you for your co-operation. For further information please call the Council on Ph. 03 543 8400.
