Waimea seek historic upset

Family sells $5.5M farm A property rated as one of Nelson’s best farms has sold for the first time since the 1880s, landing the owners an expected retirement package in excess of $5.5million.

Wantwood, a 672 hectare sheep and beef farm on Eighty Eight Valley Rd owned by the Shuttleworth family, was sold to an undisclosed buyer for an undisclosed price.

Peter Evans of PGG Wrightson Real Estate Limited sold the farm and described it as

one of the region’s best. While he was unable to name the buyer or the price it was sold for due to a confidentiality agreement, Waimea Weekly can confirm the Rateable Valuation of the property was $5,550,000 in 2011 while the land alone was worth $4,850,000 during the same year. Peter did confirm, however, that it was bought by a local farming family that wanted to expand its existing sheep and beef operations

The Wantwood farm has sold for the first time since the 1880s.

and a conversion to deer.

He says the local offer was sealed despite interest from overseas, including one client who made two visits to see the property. “Because of its proximity to Nelson, its size, scale and history, Wantwood is a premium property, of a type that only comes onto the market very rarely.”

“A lot of those kids might be living at home anyway so it’s probably not so hard for them to cope with.”

“It depends on your point of view. I’m an employer so it’s a good idea but I know if I was looking for a job I’d want better.”

SHOOTING SEASON BEGINS: Dave Heyward, centre, and James and Neil Simpson, will be able to go duck hunting now that the season has officially opened. Because of the rain during the past few weeks, Fish & Game’s Lawson Davey says it was likely that the birds would scatter across different locations. Had the dry weather continued, they were likely to congregate. “Many hunters

feed their ponds prior to the season to keep the birds around but if we get lots of rain they tend to go out to the paddocks and feed on worms.”

While the season was opened in Nelson on Saturday, most duck hunters used the weekend as a chance to visit some of the hotspot areas of the country, including Southland and the West Coast.

Church stripped bare after flood The Richmond Church of Christ has been running its Sunday service in a hall previously used by community groups and a children’s programme, after flooding severely damaged the main building.

And it could be a four month wait until things are back to normal for the church, which is situated on the corner of Croucher and D’Arcy St in Richmond.

Minister Steve Rollo says the damage is much worse than what was initially feared, with most of the internal walls stripped off the main building due to bacteria growing inside them. “The smell was just really, really bad and all of the walls had to be pulled back so we could dry it but in the process all of the joinery was either collapsing or growing mould,” he says. “It’s likely to be three or four months minimum before we can use the main building. The hall was also damaged but we still go on because a church is all about the people and not the building.”

The church has a “good insurance policy”, Steve says thankfully. “We are covered but being a church there is a lot of personal belongings including books and electronics so we’re not quite sure about the whole scenario. The whole place, basically the contents in every room, has had it.”

Steve attended the church on the night of the flooding, only to find water waist deep around the premises – which claimed one car in the process. But he says the damage was becoming more noticeable the longer the week wore on. “A couple of days afterwards you could see that it was worse. The Tuesday, coming back after cleaning up for a day, was pretty sad because the devasta-

Members of the church, along with the local Probus group and neighbours had helped with the clean up, enabling the church to host services in the hall during the past two weekends.

Steve says the congregation will make do with the hall over the course of the next few months, although the church will be without a kitchen.

“We just need to sort out something for our children’s programme but we will continue the best we can. We support a church in Vanuatu that has no walls on its building so if they survive then we can too.”

Youth wage drops to help employers

A new youth wage should help teenagers using the Job Track and Nelson-Tasman Youth Service find employment but the manager of both services still remains wary.

Pip Berkett believed the youth wage, which allows businesses to pay 16-19 year old workers a minimum wage of just $11 an hour for the first six months, will give teenagers a chance to prove themselves. “The employer is always going to pick someone older, so for someone with less experience and less work history, this will hopefully get them a chance,” she says. “It’s very, very hard for them to find work [currently] and hopefully this makes it easier for them to pick up part-time work.”

Although she was confident it could help youth find employment, Pip “felt sorry” for them that a lower wage could be the difference between finding a job or not. “In this economy it’s probably a helpful step to make them competitive with older people. But the good thing is it’s only for six months.”

Pip says she would speak to some employers about the youth wage once term two settles in.

However, students were not happy with it and one told Pip that it was “a bit rough”. “One bloke told me that he wouldn’t be bothered working for that but that’s what we need to turn around, that’s our job as a youth service. We need to get them real about the world of work today and the

Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz pressures on employers. If we could get another ten young people in employment then that’s great and we’ve achieved our goal but at the moment it’s very difficult.”

While she would talk to some employers about the new wage, Pip did not want to use it as a selling point; saying that would undervalue the youth.

She thought some students who were planning on staying in school, working part-time on the weekends and then going off to university, might be annoyed be the new wage as it would take longer to save up.

“A lot of the kids at school will still get jobs and that’s their university pocket money so it’s a shame for them [if they are paid less]. But it’s the 16-17 year old that leaves school, this might help them.”

A number of large retail and restaurant chains have already publicly stated they’ll maintain youth on normal adult wages. Those include The Warehouse, Farmers, Kmart, Bunnings, Countdown, McDonald’s and Restaurant Brands, which owns Pizza Hut, KFC and Starbucks.

Richmond Woman Loses A Third Of Her Body A wake up call in the form of her own reflection has seen local woman Heather Lindsay turning heads after an incredible 30kg weight loss.

Her remarkable journey to losing the weight with Contours Richmond is an inspiration to women all over the region and she says she can’t believe the results she has experienced with the local women only gym.

“It was about a week or two before my 18th birthday. Something just clicked in my brain one night when I took a real look in the mirror. I had been in denial for so long about my size, my weight and the large sizing of my clothing. I stared in the mirror and saw the real me and I realised how badly I had let myself go.

Previously I had tried to lose weight, succeeded but couldn’t maintain it and gained it all back and even more. But suddenly it was like that never happened, I was filled with so much motivation and determination and I swore, it’d be the last time I’d lose weight and I wouldn’t gain it back.”

After weighing herself naked Heather says she was shocked at what she discovered. “I was 108.8kgs. I was absolutely disgusted with myself, I had never been that big. I was so annoyed and frustrated I had let myself go that much but the positive effect was that it gave me even more motivation to lose the weight.”

Heather says she was determined to lose the weight and was encouraged by

a previous experience with Contours to rejoin.

“I used to go to Contours a couple of years ago with my Mum and the main reason for re joining was how friendly, approachable the staff were. They are supportive and always ready to help with anything. That and the fact that Contours is a women only gym was a big factor, I had become insecure about myself especially around men.”

Heather says she can’t believe how far she has come since first deciding to kick her weight to the kerb.

“I remember the first day I went to the gym once I signed up, I went on the cross trainer on the easiest level and could only manage seven minutes and I felt like I was going to die once I got off and could barely breathe.”

After about two months going to Contours, Heather has never looked back

and now enjoys the one on one personal training sessions every week, measurements and nutritional support.

“I was given a free personal training session and it was amazing! I had never been pushed so hard in my life, yet I coped with everything that was chucked at me.

I got a sense for what my body could actually do and was pleasantly surprised. I loved it so much a few days later I bought 10 personal training sessions.”

6 months since setting foot into Contours Richmond Heather has lost a whopping 30kgs, almost 90cm off her body and her total body fat percentage has dropped to nearly 15%. She says every week she looks forward to pushing her body to new limits and thrives on the rush of endorphins after a tough workout.

“I feel so good about myself and my body.

Not only has my body changed dramatically but all aspects of my life have changed too. My confidence has soared, I’m always on what I call a gym buzz and I sleep amazingly now. I still have another 10kgs to lose, but when I look at myself, I smile because I can see all the blood, sweat and tears are paying off. If it weren’t for Contours Richmond I wouldn’t be where I am today. I will be forever grateful for the support and encouragement I have received from everyone. Whatever your goal is, whether it is to lose weight, tone up, strengthen, get healthy or any other reason, you’ll fit right into the Contours family.”

Donations pour in for flood victims

Donations to the Salvation Army are offering welcome relief following the flood that caused serious damage to homes and businesses in Richmond two weeks ago.

Major Jill Knight says the generosity of the community is making a huge difference for victims that have been either displaced or left with almost nothing to their name in the aftermath. She says piles of household items have been dropped off over the last two weeks including a dozen beds, bedding, couches, chairs, shelving and other furniture, all of which has been gratefully received by those most in need.

“People have been very generous coming in over the last couple of weeks, there’s nothing like an emergency to bring a community together and ours is second to none for getting together and helping people out when the chips are down.”

The organisation has been actively helping at least a dozen families who had nowhere to go or lost all of their possessions after floodwater swept through their homes and Jill says part of the misfortune Major Jill was that a lot of people affectKnight. ed were on low incomes, had no insurance or lacked local family support.

“Because of the donations of either money or household goods we have been able to offer support to those who desperately need it. Contents insurance can unfortunately be the first thing to come off the list for people who are struggling and that has been the majority of people we’ve been helping.”

With many people yet to move back in to their damaged homes, Jill says she expects the problem to be ongoing and urges the community to bear that in mind over the next few months.

“Some will have the means to replace items and some people will be caught in a hole. I’d say hat’s off to our community for the support they have offered so far and remind them that once we have forgotten about the flood, that there will still be some people out there struggling.”

$5.5million farm sold FROM PAGE 1

Interest has been high, says Peter, including from prospective buyers throughout New Zealand, and internationally, with enquiries from Europe and Asia, as well as from expat kiwis.

While it was not the biggest farm in the NelsonTasman area, it is one of the biggest located so close to the city, being 18 kilometres south-west of Richmond and just four kilometres out of

Wakefield. Peter also noted that there were three other farms in close proximity of a similar size to Wantwood. Each of those had also remained in the same ownership for multiple generations, which again highlights how rare this sale was.

Around 90 hectares of the land is zoned rural residential, which means there was potential for some of it to be turned into subdivisions, but feedback from the buyers suggested they would stick to farming operations, he says.

Love story winners highlight wedding show Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

Nelson has found its best love story with the winners of the Jens Hansen Love Stories competition announced at the Nelson Wedding Show.

After each of the seven finalists love stories featured in the Nelson Weekly in the lead up to the event, 650 people voted for their favourite couple with Lara Conyers and Sam Harris coming out on top.

The loved up couple say they were shocked to find out they had won $1000 worth of Jens Hansen diamonds on top of the $600 worth of diamonds that they won as finalists and say they couldn’t be happier that people voted for their story.

“It is so exciting and so nice that people voted for us. We are really grateful they did.”

Halfdan Hansen says the event was a huge success and he was extremely pleased with the huge number of entries and voters the competition attracted.

“Everyone loves a good love story and this year’s search was another great success. We’re really happy to be involved.”

Nelson Wedding Show manager Jenny Walton says hundreds of people headed to the interactive show that featured more than 70

“Everyone I have spoken to had an amazing time, the attendees stayed for the entire day and loved being up close and personal with Nelson’s best wedding providers.”

Cristin McKernan was drawn as the winner of a wedding package valued at up to $14,500 and says she was “speechless” when her name was called and her partner did not believe her when she rang to tell him.

Major benefits to participating in swimming lessons year round!

At SwimMagic we believe there is no better time to learn to swim than during the winter months.

Learning to swim during summer is great, however just when your child is at their best, the weather turns cold and it is 6 months before they are at the beach enjoying the great skills they have picked up and have hopefully retained.

Hopefully a child who participates in lessons during winter can look forward to a summer at the beach and at the pool enjoying the water instead of spending it learning how.

Just like any activity children participate in, if 6 months was taken off, it would take significant time and energy to get back to the point they were at. Unfortunately with water, this down time could prove dangerous. There are numerous developmental, social, physical, and emotional benefits to participating in aquatic activities and swimming lessons year round.

SwimMagic is New Zealand’s leading swimming education provider providing to over 11,000 children weekly in programmes for all ages and abilities.

Programmes are offered 7 days a week, with times and days available to suit even the busiest lifestyles.

While he is not chasing a top overall finish, George says a successful race would be if he can make a name for himself in one of the hill climbs. “Not necessarily in terms of a result but just being a really good team mate for Robert and making the selection in the hills, also having a crack at a stage from a breakaway would be an experience I could take a lot from.”

George is joined by Kiwis Hayden Roulston and Jesse Sergent in the RadioShack Leopard Trek team, which he says will help boost morale. “Having the other two Kiwis is great, for now everything is nice and easy, everyone is fresh and happy but I’m sure two weeks in when I can hardly get out of bed it will be really important to have the other Kiwis for a morale boost.”

Aniseed Valley cyclist George Bennett began the Giro d’Italia over the weekend – the biggest race of his career.

The three week long Italian event is one of the three Grand Tours, which also includes the Tour de France, and is considered to be one of the world’s premier races.

George is racing for team RadioShack Leopard Trek and his role will be to support team leader Robert Kieserlofski when the road goes up hill in the third week of the event.

Speaking from Italy, George says he aims to stay out of trouble during the first two weeks of racing and has no personal goals for the overall classification. “When we start to hit the big mountains in the last week hopefully we can come out and play.

Thieves target unlocked cars Police are urging people to lock their car doors after 15 “preventable” thefts last weekend.

All of those cases were in the Stoke area with “opportunists” targeting unlocked vehicles and taking items from glove box compartments, which included money and small personal items.

While sergeant Craig Barker was not blaming the vehicle owners who had left their cars unlocked, he was adamant the

first step of prevention is to simply lock your door.

“By locking your car you discourage the vast majority of opportunists who are just walking past and trying the door handle.

Those are the ones that account for most of the crime that should be preventable,” he says. “The majority of these didn’t have much in them but the big issue is that there are very few offenders who are that committed that they will smash the window or

do particular damage to a car when they see nothing is in there.”

Despite all of the reported thefts occurring in the Stoke area, Craig says these types of offences occur all over the country. They were happening to cars parked on the sides of roads and in car parks.

“It tends to move around but wherever people are leaving their cars will create an opportunity. It can be all sorts and it’s not one specific set of circumstances. One

HopeFest returning

The third ever HopeFest returns to the calendar this month, bringing a host of national speakers with it.

HopeFest first began as a celebration to mark the first birthday of the Hope Community Church in 2008 with two speakers from Parents Inc leading seminars focussing on parenting and relationships.

But for the 2013 edition, there will be eight different events running between May 18 and 26, with guests such as Pio Terei, Allison Mooney and Billy Graham talking topics like family nutrition, making relationships last, learning what makes people tick, and building an awesome whanau, amongst others.

Hope Community Church senior pastor Donald Irvine says the event is all about local community.

“The middle part of our name isn’t there just to look good, we want to be a church for the com-

munity and we decided that where we are would benefit from help with parenting and relationships,” he says.

New office for Greypower Greypower Nelson celebrated the move to a new home in Stoke with an official opening on Friday evening.

After making the move a few weeks ago, 9600 Greypower members have a new base with the team now operating from a spacious office in the heart of Stoke.

Situated between Kiwibank and the walkway to the Stoke Library – opposite the Countdown Supermarket car park – Greypower Nelson president Neville Male says the move has been a welcome change for the organisation which grew out of their smaller premises and perfect timing after the lease on their old space was due to expire. “The new office is just three minutes walk from our old place but now ticks all of the boxes.

We are now able to better facilitate our members when

they come in to visit.”

He says with convenient seating for visitors to the office, tea and coffee available free of charge, members will notice a difference and feel more comfortable when they come calling. “People will be able to come in for a meeting or a chat and have a seat. There is a lot more room and it feels very friendly.”

Neville says response from members and staff had been fantastic with more people calling in to visit. “The response has been great, we are really happy to be settled in now and welcome all members to head in to check it our new home.”

You can find Greypower Nelson at their new home at 33 Putaitai St, Stoke.

Do you think TDC should be waiving dump fees for those getting rid of material damaged in last month’s flood?

Yes, as for some residents, had the council-supplied roads been lower than the footpaths, the flooding wouldn’t of been so severe to those residents, so the

fact they are having to dump in the first place does lie on the shoulders of the council (of course this is not across the board).

the police do that? Nobody owes these little bogans anything, they are breaking the law and you want to be rewarded for that by being given a skid pad?? Nobody owes them anything. Join the speedway, drag club or even motorbike club if you need to go out and do some skids. Michelle Walker.

Flood victims: While it is very sad that the family lost all their possessions in the flood it is a big risk not to have insurance. Most other people have insurance. If you choose not to have it, then you have to suffer the consequences. But they cry and everyone pushes to help them. (Via text).

Compulsory laptop computers for Garin students: I wouldn’t encourage it but it’s the way schools are heading in these times. Just wish they were more affordable for all families from different socio economic backgrounds. Sharon Tarapipipi.

I go to and like it at Nayland where a lot of teachers give you a choice to do work on a laptop or not. It’s better I hope it doesn’t change. Amy Harvey.

What happens when they have to do their written exams and other tests? They will be so used to using spell check for their grammar and spelling that students who struggle with that will find it

difficult in the exams. Last time I checked they usually deduct marks for poor grammar and spelling. But hopefully they should sort that out by the time NCEA rolls around. Ella Kilpatrick.

Makes sense that kids should use laptops or pads at school, the world is full of them now and the sooner they get to grips with it the better. (Via text).

How are families meant to be able to afford this? Nicky Kolk.

The new face of Nelson’s Crohns and Colitis support group, co-ordinator Bridget Crundwell, says knowledge is power when it comes to the disease and she hopes World IBD day and an awareness week to be held next week will increase the amount of information out there for people and families of those who have been newly diagnosed.

More than 500 Nelsonians suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease, [IBD] a medical term that describes a group of conditions where the intestine becomes inflamed causing significant abdominal pain, frequent, urgent trips to the toilet and general sickness which makes it hard to lead a normal life.

Bridget took on the role as support group coordinator for the Nelson area in August last year after a family member was diagnosed with IBD and says she knows from personal experience that there isn’t enough awareness in the public forum about what the disease is and what it means for someone who has it.

“It’s really important that we get more information out there to people on this increasingly common condition. Nelson’s has a high number of people suffering from IBD so the more knowledge we can

get out into the wider community the better.”

Bridget hopes the annual Chrons and Colitis awareness week which will run from May 13 to 19 will help her get the message out about IBD and says people will be able to find information displays on the disease at the Nelson Hospital throughout the week. She will also man an information stand at next Saturday’s market where Bridget local pharmacist Chris Budgen Crundwell. who has a special interest in IBD will be on hand to talk to people who want to find out more.

Nelson’s Chrons and Colitis support group meets regularly to provide information and support to each other. Anyone who would like to know more is welcome to head along to the next meeting in June.

Details are yet to be decided but special guest Sarah Carswell a pharmaceutical representative will speak on the value of probiotics.

Poppy Day a success for RSA The Richmond-Waimea RSA has praised the efforts of everyone connected with this year’s Poppy Day appeal and to those who gave generously.

In a letter sent to the Waimea Weekly, treasurer Stuart Mirfin says a special thanks must go to the businesses who agreed for a collection box to be placed on

the counter at their premises and their encouragement of donations. The total amount raised will be known later this week.

All funds collected on poppy day in the Waimea area are used solely within the area to support the welfare of returned servicemen and women and their dependents. Next year is the 100 year

anniversary of the beginning of the First World War, and over the following four years there will be many opportunities for people to contribute to this very special event, Stuart adds. “Check your family history and you may be surprised at how many of your ancestors and their families served.”

Are you looking for a better way to Changing The Way The World Does Business ™ The added horsepower of 12 to 20 extra salespeople has transformed many Nelson businesses; with some saying they’ve seen 100 per cent growth solely because of their involvement with the business networking group, BNI. BNI Monaco at the Nelson Golf Club is a Tahuna-based business networking group

and the 12 dedicated members say they’d like to expand their group and are inviting new people to come along and see what it’s all about. Member Greg Dykzeul, of NBS, says the group has a core of strong and keen members who have seen the benefits that come from BNI and they’d like to help other businesspeople.

“For the average person they don’t really know what it is and I know when I started I didn’t really know what it was about. The group is only as good as its members and this group has some great members, some really powerful, strong, likeable people who have a good presence in the community. That is what BNI is all about, selling what you do to

your members and having a really strong plan to enable them to network in a delibgroup of members really helps makes that erate and professional manner.

Hidden railway tunnel to be unlocked for walk A disused railway tunnel hidden away in the Spooner’s Range will be unlocked for visitors on Sunday – the final time until October.

Located near the top of the Spooner’s Range, the Spooner’s Railway Tunnel runs in a straight line for 1352 metres and has only been used for guided tours and monthly walks after it closed in 1955 when the entire railway network shutdown in Nelson.

It is officially the longest disused railway tunnel in the country and is operated by the Tapawera Historical Society in agreement with Land Information New Zealand.

The society hosts the walks and tours as a means to help fund the cost of maintaining the structure that was built just 50 years after the first settlers arrived in Nelson, in 1893.

Custodian Bob Stewart, whose job it is to open the steel doors at the beginning of the tunnel, believes it is one of Nelson’s hidden gems. “It’s part of Nelson’s history. It was one of the main links through to Tapawera and Tadmor Valley. You have to remember that this was put in 50

Bob Stewart inside the Spooner’s Railway Tunnel which will reopen for a walk on Sunday. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

years after the first settlers came to our shores,” he says. “The older people will remember but even some of them might have forgotten unless they went through it.”

The structure passed its five yearly geotechnical assessment with flying colours last year and is being looked

at for the Great Taste Cycle Trail.

The walk will be held from 10am until 2pm on Sunday May 12. Entry is $2 per person and those attending are encouraged to bring a torch and wear sturdy footwear.

For more information contact Bob on 544 8502.

Waimea seek historic upset Don’t be surprised to see Waimea College keep the ball in tight this weekend.

Ahead of the first XV’s traditional fixture against Nelson College, the coaches from both sides have hinted that Waimea could have an edge in the forwards.

Both teams will enter the match with a round one win under their belt, with Waimea beating Nayland College 39-3 in Richmond and Nelson winning 43-5 against Lincoln High School in Christchurch.

Gus Shirley, who along with Daniel Hobbs, has taken over from Tony Cadigan as the head of last year’s bowl winners, gave Waimea a pass mark “just” from its win over Nayland. “There’s certainly a lot of room for improvement,” he says. “I thought the tight five went well and the set pieces went well, it was just the execution and other parts that were a bit rusty.”

He thought the Nayland side was stronger than the one that went the 2012 season without a win. “They’re quite a tough opponent and they tackled well, they certainly seem a bit more competitive than they did in the past couple of years. The more competitive teams in the region, the better it will be for Nelson.”

Gus was looking forward to the second local challenge in as many weeks, highlighting Nelson as the benchmark for secondary

Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz school rugby in the region. “We always love the challenge of playing them and I certainly think we’re capable [of beating them].”

He thought Waimea’s strength would be its mobile tight five but says the side can’t get too carried away. “We just want to treat this as another game. They were pleased to win the bowl last year but the goal is certainly to breaking into that top eight this year.

We just need to focus on our own performance.”

Meanwhile Nelson College coach Bill Liddell says his side is in for “a hell of a battle” and that they were preparing for war.

“In my mind it won’t be this year [that Waimea wins again] but this is one of their better opportunities,” he says.

When questioned about where Waimea might have an edge over the Nelson side, Bill highlighted its impressive forwards, led by

captain Tim Coman. “Clearly their forward pack is very good. I think they’ve got a good front row, Tim Coman is a very competent number eight who loves to make yards and the boy Sam Liebezeit is a very accomplished lineout forward. But in saying that, we’ve got a balanced forward pack and backline too.”

The Nelson College first XV is led by firstfive eight Mitchell Hunt.

Like Gus, Bill was happy with just some aspects of his team’s performance on the

weekend, considering it was just the first competitive game of the year. “There were lots of errors and there is lots of room for improvement. The intensity is quite different once you start Press Cup and new players always have to adapt to that but [the performance] was definitely a step up from the first game that we played last year that’s for sure.”

The Waimea versus Nelson match will be played at Nelson College on Saturday with the game kicking off at 12noon.

Waimea Old Boys Rugby Club

Bs win at home Waimea Old Boys beat the previously undefeated Riwaka 24-14 at Jubilee Park on Saturday as the side continues its strong start to the season.

Sitting in third place on the second division standings, coach Wayne Bateman was happy with how the team is trucking along. “The result on the weekend was a good one for us,” he says.

“At least we know where we are going this year, it was a good test for us.”

Despite Riwaka’s unbeaten streak, Waimea Old Boys was still confident going into the match, having collected its fair share of victo-

ries already this season and started the better of the two teams, holding a 14-0 lead at the break.

Wayne says the result is a perfect way to compare themselves to the top teams. “We’re just breezing along, I don’t want them to hit their straps just yet because there’s still a long way to go in the season.”

Wayne says openside flanker Ruben Finn had been the top performer so far this season and also highlighted the return of lock Tim Fensom who leads the forwards.

Murchison’s David Gill looks to bust through the line during Saturday’s come-from-behind 27-17 win over Stoke Bs at Greenmeadows.

Murchison, who won the second division competition last year, have started the season with four wins from five games.

David scored twice during Saturday’s game with Sam Brooks scoring one and Sam Bradley also adding a five pointer, two conversions and a penalty.

Alex Monahan of the Murchison club says the season is already going well, rating it on par with last season. “[We are] pleased with the boys as we lost some key players and have some new blood and they are starting to play as a team.”

Proposed Plan Changes 43 to 48 Council has prepared amendments to the Tasman Resource Management Plan, known as the following: Proposed Plan Change 43: Motueka West This Change provides for a range of future urban zonings on Rural 1 and Tourist Services Zone land at Motueka west between High Street, Pah Street, Queen Victoria Street and King Edward Street. It includes: • Deferred Residential Zone

Volunteers are urgently required to work three-hour shifts on a fortnightly basis or as an on-call person, at the Richmond Information Centre in Gladstone Road. Successful applicants would be required to work with more experienced volunteers initially, to gain confidence before being asked to work alone or with a friend. Applicants should have a good knowledge of the District, be well presented, and enjoy meeting and conversing with visitors both New Zealand and from overseas. The Richmond Information Centre has been operating for over 25 years. The Centre is well appointed with good facilities. If you are interested in this type of work, call into the Centre or phone 03 543 9521.

There will be a further period of 10 working days within which further submissions in support of or opposition to those submissions made may be sent to Council.
