Residents face 400% rate rise Phillip Rollo

Ten Richmond West land owners say they are furious with a “hypocritical” Tasman District Council that has increased their rates by as much as 400 per cent and told them it is just tough luck.

Nelson’s top up and coming chef named Andrew Board When Nik Dellabosca first entered the Up and Coming Chef competition two years ago he finished “dead last” and was left feeling pretty disappointed.

Fast forward to Sunday morning and Nik was struggling to keep the smile from his face as the young Wakefield man beat five other Nelson chefs to win the New Zealand King Salmon Up and Coming Chef Award for 2012.

The award is part of the Nelson Hospitality Awards.

The competition saw the six chefs from some of Nelson’s top restaurants arrive to a “mystery box” of ingredients. They had to design and write their menu in half an hour and cook it in an hour. The judges – including culinary international level five judge Michael Daly, tutor Quinton Gately and awards organiser Harry Morris –

took a little over half an hour to pick the winner.

Michael says Nik, who works at Mint Dining Room, showed good techniques and a range of skills to help him pick up the award. Nik says he was “very, very happy” with the win.

“I learned from last time. I didn’t have a clue last time so I’m really happy with this year. My boss, Grant, has been really good in helping me prepare and I’m happy with how the dish turned out.”

Nik’s dish was called Salmon Three Ways, it was pan fried filleted salmon, a salmon and prawn pie and ceviche of salmon served with potato fondant and wilted greens.

He says he is keen to continue entering competitions and while the dream is to work overseas he is staying put at Mint Dining Room for some time. “I love my job there and I love Nelson.”

Lana Edwards was runner up.

“Yes I suspect it was. I had been driving farm vehicles for many years. I drove around the block and the inspector said “that’ll do me” and I passed.”

“I’m from Melbourne, Australia. I had to get my Kiwi drivers licence and it was pretty easy, I got 100 per cent.”

Rezoned residents’ rates increase 400% FROM PAGE 1 They say businesses looking to move to the area will buy unoccupied land first so it may be years before they will get any offers.

Three residential properties within the area have not been affected by the zone change.

Some of the affected residents have written submissions to the TDC for its long term plan, hoping council will create a rates remission policy enabling the rates to remain the same, until it is used for commercial purposes or sold off. Paula Broady, daughter of one of the residents, says there is a rates remission policy in the Gisborne

On Sale

District Council’s ten year plan, enabling the rates to remain status quo until the land is sold.

But TDC mayor Richard Kempthorne says it will not follow Gisborne’s lead and the increase is just tough luck for the residents.

“I really feel for people in that situation, it’s really tough for them. But it is what happens when people find they are in a property of higher capital value,” he says.

All of the residents spoken to by the Waimea Weekly say they have been “misled” by a “hypocritical” council, who had been saying all along that any development in the area would not affect their rates. Two of them had written their own minutes from a meeting with the council on March 2010 where TDC had originally stated that their rates would be protected when the deferment was lifted.

left the meeting under the impression that their rates would not be affected.

Colin Fraser, who lives on Headlingly Lane, cannot afford to sit back and watch his rates double; he was on a sickness benefit before transitioning onto the pension.

His rates have gone from around $2500 to more than $5000. He was under the opinion that his rates would remain the same.

Maxwell Clark and Shona McBride have seen their rates rise 400 per cent. Maxwell, who has lived in the home for 20 years, says he was initially against development in the area but needed the deferment lifted so he could put his property on the market.

It has been on the market since October last year but has not had a single offer. He doesn’t expect that to change when any potential buyer takes a look at the rates either.

“Why doesn’t the council come and buy my land then? The worst part about this is the fact they told us our rates would not

change this much. There was no interest when the valuations were done in September last year and there has been nothing since. They’re comparing it to Wakatu Estate as if it’s up and running. But it isn’t,” he says.

One of the residents is an 87 year old woman who has been living in her Richmond West home for 48 years. But with her rates rising from $2600 to $4800, her family is being forced to “chip in” and help her pay. The resident, who did not want to be named, says she wants to die in the home her late husband bought and refuses to let her family have to contribute to her rates.

“I want to die here. I don’t want someone pushing me out just because my rates are too high,” she says. “He worked hard here, my late husband. My love is here and I want to stay here. But I can’t afford it.”

Another lady, aged 84, has been living in her home for 11 years but now wants to escape the rising rates. But she cannot sell the home because buyers are put off by the rates. “We can’t afford to stay and we can’t afford to go. Nobody is going to want to buy this land for a horse paddock with those rates,” she says.

They were both under the impression that the rates would only increase to that extent after a ten year process, when the area, predicted to be the future for industrial and commercial business in Richmond, had developed further.

“They haven’t developed it yet, so who is going to buy it for a business?”

The well known brewer rewarded the loyalty of one regular at each of their popular pubs, giving away a total prize pool of $2500.

From My Desk We have had a lovely weekend being involved with the Wedding Show. Barkers generously gave away a full suit to a lucky gentleman, and The Body Shop was handing out samples of their beautiful products. The fashion parade was stunning with The Rock Box girls looking amazing in their gorgeous dresses, we also had KOOKY dresses on display for the all important mother of the bride, and of course the handsome Barkers Men. The store this week I would like to introduce is The Body Shop. Upon entering this store your senses are filled with gorgeous smells, and I never know whether to head for the body butter or their incredible range of makeup, which I love and wear myself. I find their liquid mineral foundation perfect for my skin, and another favourite is their mascara. I always have in my handbag and actually in my kitchen drawer their hemp hand cream, it is incredible, you really must try it for yourself. Another favourite of mine is their Japanese Cherry Blossom range, which has body lotion, shower and bath gel and body mist.

This lightweight moisturiser softens, smoothes and hydrates the skin leaving your skin delicately scented with the decadent Japanese cherry blossom fragrance. I invite you to come and meet Karen and her incredible new team. Have a fantastic week, and I look forward to seeing you at our Fashion Island

85% of Lakes/Murchison voted against merger

Phillip Rollo

A mere 14.8 per cent of Lakes/Murchison voters favoured amalgamation, giving it the smallest support percentage for the merger in the entire Tasman District.

Exactly 1524 people voted against amalgamation in the area during last month’s poll, with 256 Lakes/Murchison residents voting for the proposal. That figure meant a staggering 85.2 per cent of Lakes/Murchison voters were against it.

Councillor Stuart Bryant, who represents the Lakes/Murchison ward, is currently out of the country, but answering his

phone was fellow councillor Brian Ensor from the Moutere/Waimea ward. Moutere/Waimea voters were the third highest percentage wise against amalgamation and Brian says it was the rural areas’ “lack of representation” that swung their vote. He says there were actual scenes of jubilation in Brightwater when the poll results came in. Only 28.1 per cent of Moutere-Waimea voters favoured amalgamation, behind Motueka with 25.6.

Others spoken to by the Waimea Weekly in the Lakes/Murchison area were also clearly against amalgamation, reinstating the lack of representation the area would get,

despite currently holding just one councillor representative.

Murchison Area School deputy principal Tina Johnston says the current model is much preferable.

“Not only is everyone happy with the status quo here, there’s really huge concerns amongst the community in terms of representation,” she says. “It doesn’t matter about what all the figures show, I think the gut feeling is that rural will become too small of a percentage in the whole area.”

Tina acknowledged that the area would still have just one representative, but suggested their “voice” would become much

smaller had it been part of a 21-person board.

Rotoiti District Community Council chairman Doug McConochie says he actually favours amalgamation in principal but voted against it. “Neither of the councils have their heads in the right space to amalgamate,” he says.

Doug says Lake residents have to “fight tooth and nail” to get anything past the current council, suggesting funding for community projects is a lot harder for Rotoiti residents. “I’m not being rude about people in Nelson, but there are a lot of people that don’t even know we exist.”

NEWS IN BRIEF

NEW BUS SERVICE VERY POPULAR: It appears more Nelson commuters are taking the bus to work thanks to a new service.

Nbus officially launched two months ago and is already having a positive impact for travellers, with growth exceeding expectations and the head of Suburban Bus Lines says there is more to come. Patronage figures collected by Nelson City Council show there were 20,000 “rides” on the Nbus during March when it launched.

JOHNNY CASH’S DAUGHTER PRAISES NELSON BAND: As if an invitation to play at the prestigious US Johnny Cash Music Festival wasn’t enough, the band has had a fantastic response from the legend’s daughter. The Nelson based Johnnys are off to the Johnny Cash Festival in Venture California in June and have been communicating with Cindy Cash who said: “I have stopped my world tonight to listen to ‘Cinnamon Hill’

by Suzi Fray. WOW! I was mesmerized.

I cried as I heard my dad saying the same words that Suzi sang.”

Inter-club trophy flies back to Nelson Phillip Rollo

Nelson Aero Club have the bragging rights and the silverware to match, beating Motueka Aero Club at the annual Harold Brough Memorial Trophy on the weekend – although it was a flip of a coin that decided which side of Mapua the trophy was heading.

The Harold Brough Memorial Trophy, named after a former Nelson Aero Club patron and Motueka Aero Club stalwart, pits Nelson’s two nearest aero clubs against each other as they take part in two separate challenges, which they have been doing so since 1975.

Both clubs ended the day on 12 points, following the low flying competition and the forced landing competition at the Motueka Airport. Each club gets to pick one challenge based on Flying New Zealand’s actual competition disciplines.

They are the same challenges rookie pilots must complete when learning to fly a plane.

Low flying involves flying along the coast line at 300 feet, before doing a coastal reversal turn.

This is when the pilot turns away from the coast and then swings back into the left, coming back along the same route. Pilots must use this skill to keep the coastline in visible sight in treacherous weather conditions. They also do a steep banked turn left and right, before flying at a constant radius.

Forced landing is when a plane is back at 2500 ft

and the pilot closes the throttle, before planning their approach back onto the runway. This skill simulates an engine failing in the air.

Both disciplines are judged by instructors, which sit in the passenger’s seat. Eight individual competitors took part for both clubs, although the top scores are only tallied between the podium finishers.

Motueka Aero Club’s Alistair Hart won both challenges, collecting ten of the 12 points himself. However, Nelson’s Justin Sturrock and Lesley Shaw supplied seven themselves in the low flying event with Steve Rule finishing second in the forced landing. Justin Sturrock, Murray Bensemann and another Motueka flyer shared third place, sending the result to a coin toss decider.

Nelson Aero Club captain Graeme Kinzett says the coin toss was merely a formality with the defending champions getting the rub of the green if scores are tied. But Graeme says he threw the coin toss option on the table to make it “fairer and more fun.” Graeme, who is a national champion in the bombing discipline where pilots throw a plastic bottle out of the plane onto a target, says the club is thrilled with the result. “Everyone enjoyed themselves and we’re happy that we can keep hold of the trophy for another year.

The point of these competitions is not only for fun, they keep your skills current and keep your mind on what you need to do in an emergency.”

Wakefield artist launches exhibition A collection of drawings has been created and put together by local artist Rose Shepherd for an exhibition opening in Nelson tonight.

Titled Mythifying Myth, the artworks explore the idea of stories being torn apart and put back together in different ways to skew details in historical events, with inspiration coming from Rose’s own family history, says the artist. Rose opened the show last night with bubbles and a talk about the stories behind the artwork, how her ancestors founded Fraser Island, off Australia’s East Coast, by surviving a shipwreck on its shores.

Rose was asked to put on the show in the Gspace Gallery and says she surveyed the space before beginning on the works, taking in as-

pects of the room design to come up with fitting works. Two scrolls drape down from the ceiling and trail over the floor in a way that the Rose says was inspired by the large windows behind. “I was curious about the effect that the light would have through the parchment,” she says.

The well known artist has worked professionally in the art world for almost two decades, and teaches classes for all ages out of her studio in Wakefield. Her works have regularly been exhibited in various galleries nationwide.

The Mythifying Myth exhibition, which opened last night, will run for two weeks from Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm in the Gspace gallery.

Emergency services gets finanicial boost Two of Tapawera’s emergency services were donated $500 each by its local op shop store and Tapawera District Community Council.

Members of the town’s op shop visited the Tapawera Emergency Services Incorporated last week to hand over cheques to St John and the volunteer fire brigade.

The Op Shop, which is housed in the Tapawera Community Centre, is also run by volunteers.

The Op Shop has had a huge turnover of goods as more people are donating items to them, and because of its success there was enough money to make significant donations.

Proceeds are given back to the community as well as an annual donation to the Rescue Helicopter.

Dean Millar from the Tapawera volunteer fire brigade accepts a $500 cheque from Tapawera Op Shop volunteers Kelly Oakley, Sian Norriss and Caren Millar last week. Proceeds from the popular op shop go back into the community.

They also donated $500 to St John.

Red Cross urges locals to Children to exhibit artwork give back to community Red Cross Nelson is celebrating its awareness day by encouraging Nelsonians to give back to their community.

Today is World Red Cross Day and the local branch is showing a film about its founder to celebrate.

But the organisation that also runs Meals on Wheels, a charity shop in Nelson and runs first aid courses amongst many other things, is hoping locals will help grow one of its newest programmes.

Last month it launched the Community Visitors Service that sees people go into local rest homes and spend time with one of its residents.

The objective of the Service is to improve the quality of life of residents in aged care facilities who have limited family and social contact.

A Community Visitor befriends a resident of an aged care facility, who has been identified by the facility, as being lonely or at risk of isolation.

Janet Rowland was the first Nelsonian to sign up to the programme and has been visiting two residents at The Wood Retirement Village for several months now. Amy Wilson, of Red Cross Nelson, says she would

like more people to come forward and also donate around an hour a week to helping improve the life of others.

She says there are currently people waiting for people to come and spend time with them in Nelson, Stoke and Richmond. “It’s a really worthwhile programme and we hope it will spread to cover rest homes all over the region,” says Amy. Janet says she is thrilled she started the programme and is enjoying the experience.

“For one you meet some new friends.

If you are a people person, you will love it. I retired several years ago and have time to give back so I thought this would be a good way to do that.”

She meets two separate residents at The Wood, once a week and says she usually takes them for a walk or just spends time chatting with them.

“Both of the people I see cannot speak very well but they have a lot of character and I’ve got to know them very well.”

Amy says those wanting to find out more about the programme can contact her on 546 5012 or amy.wilson@redcross.org.nz.

Reader recognises historic photo Andrew Board

Another photo printed from the museum’s glass plate negative project has sparked a reader to come forward with information.

Last week a photo of a lady golfer published in Waimea Weekly, the following day the historian of the Nelson Golf Club came forward with information on the photo.

The glass plate negative project is run by the Nelson Provincial Museum and sees two of the collections images printed each week in Nelson Weekly and Waimea Weekly.

Museum CEO Peter Millward says the goal of publishing the photos each week is for more information about the photographs to be shared with the museum so it can share more about our region’s history.

Nelson Golf Club historian Mike McQuade says he was waiting for a golf photo from the club to make its way into the Weekly.

“There is a lot of our photos in the museum’s collection so I was waiting to see when one of ours would turn up and as soon as it did I called the paper.”

Mike was not able to supply the museum with the name of the photographed lady, but could provide plenty of other information.

The photo was taken in September 1923 during the NZLGU Championship.

The winner of the competition was Miss Vigor-Brown of Napier, with Miss Watson of Manawatu finishing as runner up. It was the second time the tournament was hosted by the Nelson club.

Peter says this sort of information is invaluable to the museum.

“This is exactly why we wanted the photos published, this adds tremendously to our collection and the information is fantastic.”

Industry changer Thousands head to Ink’d 12 expo to celebrate the positive side of tattoos

Rosie Thomsen Shirts and even pants were removed to reveal intricate works of body art at the tattoo expo, with hundreds converging for Ink’d ‘12 to share and celebrate their designs.

Tattoos have bucked their negative image in the last ten years, becoming more about self expression and creativity, says organiser Brendon Benjamin. “Tattoos are no longer just skulls and crossbones and guns and daggers, we’ve actually got some amazing portraits and one off designs coming through.”

The hosts, Club Waimea, were “a wee bit sceptical at the start,” but they were so blown away with the event that they have put their hands up as hosts for next year, says Brendon.

Ink’d ‘12 was about bringing together people and businesses with a shared passion for self expression.

Among the stalls at the show were live piercing and tattooing, which received a steady flow of interest throughout the day.

The show was a draw to tattoo enthusiasts from all over, with many coming from around the country to see and enter the show. There were 25 categories for both male and female, with Christchurch man Dean Archer winning the Mr Ink’d title, while Nelson woman Michelle Ashby took out Mrs Ink’d. People’s Choice was also awarded to local man Eddie (Tas). Works by local artist Wok took out six categories, and Sharon Salmon’s creations were given five awards.

Just a thought...

Are you dashing through life?

With my work in the Fire Service and the Church one thing that I am reminded regularly is that life is precious and relatively short. It is very easy to forget and just go through the motions of each day. Getting up in the morning, saying hello to the ones we live with, going to work if you are lucky enough to have a job before returning to spend the evening in front of TV. A writer of an old book called Ecclesiastes asked is this all there is to life. You might know some of his writing “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to reap…” Chances are you have heard it read at a funeral sometime. The theme of the writing is “what is the significance of Rev Martin Harrison, the human life”. Many Brightwater Commupeople down through nity Anglican Church. the centuries have pondered this point. I wonder if you were asked by the Street Talk interviews on the inside of the front page to answer this question what your answer would be?

A man who lived some 2000 years ago not only answered that question but also demonstrated in his actions his understanding of the meaning of life. When asked the meaning of life he answered “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’…And ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’( Matt 22:37-39) Else where it is recorded that he said the “very best way to love is to put your life on the line for your friends.(John 15:13) He went on to demonstrate his commitment to live a selfless life by laying his life down for humanity. His name was Jesus.

To help you to think about what is the meaning of life and how you are loving and laying your life down for others in love and not merely going through the paces of each day, read the following poem and ask what will your dash stand for when your short life has finished.

Council reject rates remission The Tasman District Council has decided not to establish a Rates Remission policy.

At a meeting last week the council was asked to consider the possibility of rates remission in the event of a disaster. Driven by the impact of last year’s rain event where a number of properties were made uninhabitable, either

permanently or for an extended period of time.

The impact on the district from the event has been significant in cost and planning. The risk is that with such a policy an event with a wider effect could cripple the district for a long time.

An earlier request for the remission of water rates in Pohara because of the

damage to the now fixed water system was turned down because the council provided water via tankers at no cost.

If there is a need, their rates will cover the delivery of emergency deliveries, and as a result they need to continue paying their rates.

Ratepayers with affected properties have the ability to seek a revaluation.

Love stories highlights Nelson wedding expo Rosie Thomsen

Russell and Cindy Holden, on behalf of their daughter Lisa and her new husband Shannon Wild. Photo: Rosie Thomsen.

Ill in a hospital bed in Africa, Lisa received the welcome news that she and her husband Shannon Wild had won the Jens Hansen Love Stories competition.

Married in February, the newlyweds weren’t present as the announcement was made at the Nelson Wedding Show on Sunday. Lisa’s parents Russell and Cindy Holden were proud to accept the prize on the couple’s behalf.

Many happy couples took advantage of having everything they’d need to plan their big day under the one roof.

Jenny Walton, Nelson Wedding Show owner and manager, says numbers were on par with last year’s show, with around 570 people coming through the Trafalgar Centre.

Brides to be and their entourages came from all over New Zealand to find out what Nelson, Marlborough and the Abel Tasman have to offer as a wedding destination.

“We had one bride come down from Wellington for the day; she said what an amazing day she’d had and that she’d thoroughly enjoyed herself, which is really great,” says Jenny.

Lisa and Shannon weren’t the only winners, with prizes and giveaways gifted to many who attended.

Cindy Windleborn of Richmond scored the online door prize, while Martin Clark of Nelson edged out 80 other entrants to win the $200 voucher from Liquor King’s competition for the blokes, with a guess of 725 beers in the car, one off the correct total of 724.

Many other prizes and giveaways were donated by exhibitors, including some hidden under random seats at each of the fashion shows. “The exhibitors are what make the show,” says Jenny. “I can put it all together, but the way they present themselves makes it what it is.

I take my hat off to them, they do an amazing job.”

Many local businesses are already rebooking for next year’s show.

Review of Representation Arrangements for the 2013 Local Elections On 22 March 2012 the Tasman District Council reviewed its representation arrangements, and resolved that the following proposal apply for the Council and its Community Boards for the elections to be held on 12 October 2013:

• The Bay has a relatively small permanent population which swells considerably during the holiday season with people using the camping grounds and many of the baches that remain empty for most of the year;

Council Representation It is proposed that the Council will comprise 13 members elected from five wards, and the Mayor.

• Reducing the number of members will compromise the rural voice and increase the population per member to almost 5,000;

The five wards reflect the following identified communities of interest: • Golden Bay Ward • Motueka Ward • Moutere/Waimea Ward • Lakes/Murchison Ward • Richmond Ward The population that each member will represent is as follows: Ward Golden Bay

Reasons for Departing from 19V(2) Golden Bay Ward be treated as an isolated community for the following reasons: • The Local Government Commission deemed the Golden Bay Ward to be an isolated community in the 2006 Representation Review; • Isolated community requiring specific representation in order to provide effective representation; • Has a very clear geographic line that separates the Bay from the balance of the district; • Weather patterns can vary considerably from the rest of the district with heavy rain causing flooding that can isolate the Bay; • Contracts for roading, parks and reserves etc. are all carried out from depots based in the Bay;

• There are four distinct communities of interest within the Golden Bay Ward;

The Golden Bay and Motueka Community Boards will each elect four members. They will not be subdivided for electoral purposes. They would each have two appointed members as follows: • Golden Bay Community Board Two members appointed from the Golden Bay Ward • Motueka Community Board Two members appointed from the Motueka Ward

Gr wing Things

With Robyn Hollis

As we come into yet another month it was very timely that I received a call from a friend of mine to let me know that “his girls” were putting on a great show!

As we go to print Mothers Day is upon us, so George’s girls were flowering at just the right time. Yes, the “girls” are his amazing range of exhibition chrysanthemums that he tends with great pride and care in pots under shelter in his Nayland road home. George will be well known to many in Nelson as he has been involved with the Nelson Horticultural Society for many years and is a very keen and knowledgeable gardener. His love of these beautiful flowers has been a long-standing affair.

In George’s words ”If flowers were music the chrysanthemums would be likened to a full orchestra.”

Exhibition or “Japanese” chrysanthemums were first bought into Europe and Britain from Japan in the middle

of the 18th century but their history in the Far east goes back more than 1000 years.

The legend of the chrysanthemum originated in China when a young girl

asked the spirit how long her forthcoming marriage would last. She was told that they would remain together for as many years as there were petals on the flower of her wedding dress. She hunted far and wide but could only find five- petalled flowers. At last she found a flower with 17 petals and with her hairpin she divided each petal into 4. This was the first chrysanthemum and she lived happily with her husband for 68 years. Since then the flower has been revered in the East as a symbol of purity and long life.

From the legend it should also be a sign of female ingenuity.

researching to find an article on Michael and Susan Coulter and I believe that are still the experts in this area. After seeing George’s beautiful girls I am tempted to try myself!

I must say the exhibition varieties are a far cry from the still lovely “Pot or Garden Mums” which are a perfect Mothers day gift.

These standard varieties are much easier to look after and do not often require staking, although you do have to watch them for rust.

Some of the smaller late flowering chrysanthemums are readily available and many hybrids such as the Charm series should be easily accessed through your garden centre.

Tips

Thisks wee

• It is still not too late to plant bulbs. Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis), hyacinths and tulips, as well as daffodils can be popped in, as the ground is nice after the recent rain. Tulips can be planted right up until June in Nelson and they also benefit from being put in the fridge for a few weeks in a paper bag to “chill out” prior to planting.

• As dahlias die down it is time to lift the corms and divide them. Only keep the strongest corms and look for any diseased or rotted spots. Dry off and dust with flowers of sulphur before storing on trays of slightly damp bark or compost.

• Gladioli corms can be lifted and treated the same way.

• Polyanthus that have been sheltering from the summer sun can now be lifted, divided and replanted into their winter positions. A teaspoon of dried blood in the planting hole will get these off to a good start.

• Take cuttings from your favourite tender plants like pelargoniums, osteospermums, gazanias, etc.

• Plant lilies now and protect the new bulbs with a thick layer of fresh mulch or pea straw.

• Buy Mum some potted colour to give her pots a winter makeover and to also dot some extra colour around the garden.

• Still not too late to pop in some broad beans – they will need staking so plant in a block so they Sleepers - Compost - Bark - Topsoil are easier to tie.

Guthrie takes title

It was not the result they were looking for, but the Waimea College first XV can take plenty of positives out of their first game of the season.

A clinical, well drilled Christchurch Boys’ High School arrived in Richmond targeting the perfect start to the Press Cup calendar.

The competition heavyweights, guided by former Nelson firstfive eight Fletcher Smith claimed a classy 55-13 rout over Waimea, scoring nine tries on the way, although the home side did show promise, particularly in the backline.

There’s no doubt that in open space Brendon Barnett will not be stopped.

Fletcher, playing in front of family members, Waimea College backs Levi McPherson, Fletcher Matthews and Sean Cle- showed all of his promise predicted when he mentson also made plenty of inroads; where a was running around at Nelson College two seasmaller forward pack struggled to gain much sons ago. He scored the pick of the tries, chipgo forward. Prop Hamish Le Comte had a tire- ping the oncoming defence at the 10 meter line less game but it was the ferocious running of to regather the pill and score under the posts.

Christchurch Boys’ High School’s number eight Waimea College head south this Saturday to face Brad Hemopo that dictated the opening stanza. Christs College in Christchurch.

Close to 60 riders ventured to Tadmor for the annual Ray Anderson Memorial on Sunday.

The event also doubled as the Top of the South VMX Club Championship, which is sponsored by Morley Motorcycle and Marine.

The Ray Anderson memorial is raced for by a different class each year which is drawn on the day. This year it was raced for by the Pre 86 class which saw a determined Peter Guthrie racing hard and fast all day to take the trophy, winning all three races.

Peter also took out the club champs in Pre 86, Midbore and Vets, so he had a good day.

The Pre 75 class was dominated by Rob Selby on his BSA 550 with Malcolm Smith and Tony Brown making up the final places on the podium.

The juniors had six races with Keegan Anglesey winning on his XR200. Flynn Basalaj finished second and Steven Colley ended the day in third place.

Waimea Old Boys Rugby Miscalculation sees honours shared SG

www.wobrfc.co.nz

Scott “Macka” McKenzie When James Lowe kicked the winning points on Saturday, everybody on the field, including the ref thought he had done exactly that.

Waimea Old Boys were supposedly down by one point with time up when the penalty opportunity was handed to the red in whites from 45 meters out. James was successful, putting the penalty through the posts thinking he had got his boys home in a gruelling a counter 32-30 with Wakatu

Marist.

But for a miss calculation made during the game, the score was changed later after the whistle to an agonising 32-all draw.

When the game started it was Marist, with a penalty and a converted try putting them up 10-3 after 15 minutes of play.

It wasn’t until ten minutes later that Waimea Old Boys got its first five pointer with halfback Kaide Whitting catching the ‘green machine’ napping off a quick tap and barging over.

Five minutes later and they had another

try through James, from an outstanding run by Sha’non Temita. The big number eight pealed off 30 meters before being pulled down and finding quick ball for James to finish it off.

Waimea went into the sheds at halftime with a 15-10 lead.

It didn’t take much longer before Teveta Cavabati wanted to match his team mate in a big run dotting down in the corner.

Waimea Old Boys looked in a commanding position at 22-10.

But then it all started falling apart as the

team fell off tackle after tackle, gifting the home side two unanswered tries to lock the game up.

James scored again, this time under the posts the posts. But just when Waimea would get ahead, Marist would come back eventually taking over the lead 32-29 or as all of the players thought; 30-29. This was when James, cool as a cucumber, slotted the penalty. It was all in all a great game.

Huge effort from Corey McClelland on defence and massive work rate from prop Ropate Rinakama in his first game.

B’s hold on to victory Brent “Stew” Stewart

With the opportunity to play on Trafalgar Park and curtain raise to their Senior A sides on the Marist club day, both teams came out firing.

Marist played good solid rugby up front and showed they were there to mix it up front – their eagerness proved boarder line and the ref in charge pinged them three early penalties inside there own half within the first 20 minutes.

WOB showed there hand and choose to kick for the lineout each time only to come away unsuccessful with the defence of Marist. It wasn’t until another WOB penalty was awarded some 30 meters out that Tom Cross put the red and whites ahead 3-0.

Some harsh words about the fortune of the WOB side did the trick at the break and it wasn’t long before the flying winger Lisiate Paea dotted down over the tryline., The every reliable Tom Cross converted to set the score at 10-7 in WOB favour. Both teams traded Waimea Old Boys winger Dan Smith keeps his eye on the kicks during the rest of the game to end ball during Saturday’s win. Photo: Andrew Board. the match 10-3 in Waimea’s favour.

Wanderers edged in thriller

Second and third division teams remain unbeaten

Phillip Rollo Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers’ undefeated streak has come to a crashing hault, overturned at home courtesy of a 79th minute drop goal to Galbraith Group Nelson pivot James Lash.

It has grand final written all over, despite still being the early stages of the competition. Two undefeated teams.

The best attack versus the best defence.

When hulking winger Sione Holani smashed past two defenders to score in the corner with just five left on the clock, the momentum swung back in the way of the home side at the Brightwater Domain. Jackson Harvey was never going to miss his conversion, despite it being his toughest task of the afternoon. Wanderers were up 14-13.

When everyone in the crowd was expecting a Nelson to fling the ball out to their slick blackline, James went into the pocket and calmly slotted the winner, ending Wanderer’s impressive run in the Car Company division one with a 16-14 loss.

Sione had scored the first try of the game from an intercept midway through the first half. Jackson had converted the penalty giving them a 7-0 halftime lead.

Two Nelson penalties on the otherside of halftime saw Nelson creep back into the game, before prop James Hadfield finished off a 50 meter break involving their playmaker, and winger Kim Bateman.

Nelson claim the Moller Cup for first round honours, although their superior bonus point tally could have seen them take home the silverware regardless of the result to Wanderers.

Car Company division one teams will now be seeded ahead of the Tasman Trophy which pits Nelson clubs against Blenhiem clubs. Wanderers will go into the Tasman Trophy as second seed from Nelson.

The Wanderers second division side continue their unbeaten run after Nelson defaulted their match at the Brightwater Domain.

Wanderers third division side beat Stoke Reds 41-0 at Greenmeadows on Saturday.

Waimea triumph in heated encounter

It was definitely at game of two halves when Waimea College 10A met Prices Pharmacy Black in the Grade 2 game at Saxton Stadium.

The Waimea College team had a stellar season last year and were on the right side of the ledger in every outing. They won the South Island Year 9 tournament and ended the season as Senior 4 champions. Waimea have Anne Wicken and Barbara Kreft at the helm, and they are truly blessed with such a talented, versatile group. Each and every one of the students can play a minimum of two positions, some can even play at both ends of the court.

Waimea appeared a little shellshocked

in the opening stages as they faced the more physical style of play of the Prices team. Prices were quick on their defence and the students were guilty of stepping into their opposition in the first half.

Prices held a 9–7 advantage after the first period, courtesy of some great shots from Bex Watene. The lead was extended to 17–12 at the major break, with wing attack Miranda Hart–Tava ensuring a steady stream of ball to her shooters.

Waimea hit the ground running in the third quarter and were firing on all cylinders as they looked to be a different team. The mid court personnel were

changed with Holly Young and Ruby Jensen swapping bibs and the introduction of Hannah Taylor at wing defence.

Where Holly and Ruby were brimming with confidence and were not afraid to let the ball go into their shooters – Emily O’Connor and Katie Ditzel.

Katie and Emily moved the circle well to give their feeders good options, and they found their target to convert with ease.

Georgia Davies was introduced at goal keep in the second quarter and made an immediate impact, gathering in a number of well timed tips and intercepts.

Waimea kept their pedal to metal to outscore Prices 14–6 and 8–4 to register the 34–27 win.

Big win for Rabbits Phillip Rollo It was billed as the biggest game on the TRL calendar. The competition’s top side against the competition’s form team.

However, following Saturday’s 34– 26 victory, the Stables Richmond Rabbits can proudly claim both tags as they move to the top of the Smokefree Bin Inn Cup standings.

Despite missing regulars Freedom Walker and Jermaine Bistrow, it was the Supercheap Auto Stoke Cobras that started the game with more venom.

But once Tyler McKinnon-Ste-

venson got going, the momentum swung in favour of the ‘Bunnies.’

Skipper Deon Charles lead well throughout the entire match and was rewarded in the final 10 minutes with a try from dummy half to bring the match to within four points.

Tyler scored his second of the match after an impressive run down the right hand flank by Richmond fullback Cam Salton. That try gave the Rabbits a two point buffer with the clocking ticking down.

Kaiapa Paul ran the length of the paddock to seal the victory and put Richmond at the top of the standings.

Notice of Intention to Change of Reserve Classifications

Resource Consents

Pursuant to Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977, the Tasman District Council gives notice of its intention to change the classification of portions of the Tapawera and Brightwater Recreation Reserves. The affected portions of the respective reserves are utilised for the following activities: Tapawera Recreation Reserve – Toy Library, and Playcentre Brightwater Recreation Reserve – Pinegrove Kindergarten It is considered desirable to change the classifications of the relevant portions of the reserves from Recreation Reserve to Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserves. This will more correctly align the current uses of the reserves to a more appropriate reserve classification.

The intention is to have current uses reflected in the reserve classifications. This process is essentially an administrative action and there is no intention to change any current activities on these reserves. Recreation uses on these reserves will continue as they do now, and those portions of the reserves will retain Recreation Reserve status.

Some car parking areas will be included in the change of classification process, but the car parks will remain available for all reserve users, as they are now. The change of classification for the Brightwater Reserve will be slightly larger than the land occupied by the Kindergarten at present. This is partly to minimise survey costs and partly to provide for potential expansion.

For plans of the portions of the reserves intended for changes of classification, and to make further enquiries, please contact Robert Cant at Tasman District Council – robert.cant@tasman.govt.nz, Ph 03 543 8400.

Submissions or objections on the proposed classification changes should be made in writing, to the address below, and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Monday 28 May 2012.

Tasman District Council, Private Bag 4, Richmond.

The Council has received applications for resource consent, which have been publicly notified in The Nelson Mail. The applications and supporting information may be examined in any Council office.

Please note that the following is an abridged advisory notice only.
