Royal bride uses our honey for beauty What Tasman people use to spread on their toast new royal Kate Middleton has reportedly been spreading on her face – much to the surprise and delight of the local producers. The New Zealand Herald reported that the royal bride may have been using Nelson bee venom in a face treatment ahead of her wedding to Prince William late last month. The Bee Venom Mask, supposedly an alternative to botox, is used by the Prince’s stepmother, Camilla, and is also reported to be used by Dannii Minogue, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gwyneth Paltrow. The mask is said to work by gently stinging the skin, leaving a tingling sensation and causing the body to direct blood flow to the area, reported the Herald. It claims to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which reduce wrinkles by relaxing and strengthening muscles. And the main ingredient of the mask is Nectar Ease, a type of manuka honey made by Nelson Honey for the past three decades. Its general manager Terry Bone says the company was surprised to learn its role in the royal wedding but says it does sell a lot of honey to the founder of the Bee Venom Mask in the UK, Deborah Mitchell. “We were shocked and surprised but since news broke we’ve been flat out, the phone has gone off the hook.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Royal bride uses our honey for beauty

• The once a year opportunity to celebrate and recognise local volunteers has arrived, with nominations opening for the TrustPower Nelson Tasman Community Awards. Nominations opened on Monday and the awards, which are run in conjunction with the Nelson City and Tasman District Councils, are open to all voluntary groups and organisations working to make the Nelson Tasman region a better place to live. This year more than $6,500 is up for grabs. Nomination forms are available from the Nelson City Council or Tasman District Council offices or service centres or by calling Pip Tschudin at TrustPower on 0800 87 11 11.

SEE PAGE 2 was doing with our honey, but we have a fair idea now.” Terry says enquiries about the mask have been coming in thick and fast, so much so the family-owned business, based near Kohatu, is developing its own mask and is thinking of calling the new product ‘Kate’s Cream’. “We just got some testing back on Friday and will launch it soon, we’ve had so many requests for it we thought it would be silly not to make one, since we make the bulk of the product.” Nectar Ease was made to help with arthritis and joint mobility and has also been developed into a cream by Nelson Honey. The ingredient that makes the honey, cream and face mask so beneficial is the extra bee venom which is collected by placing a glass screen on top of hives as small electrical currents run through it, which encourages them to sting the glass, from which the venom is collected. Deborah Mitchell was reported as saying: “The bee venom completely changed Dannii Minogue and my other clients love it so much that we have waiting lists.”

FROM PAGE 1 letics, hockey, softball, netball, basketball, table tennis, archery and football facilities. Non-ionising radiation, a by-product of AM/FM wave lengths and the same type of radiation that runs off a cell phone, is being emitted from the mast at levels up to 1341 kHz, according to the NRL report. Radiation that high can cause body tissue to heat up and raise body temperatures, according to the Ministry of Health website. Director of Mainland Television Gary Watson says it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. Gary has worked with broadcasting frequencies for 40 years and says the fear of the “big unknown” is enough to warrant its removal. “We know that the experts can get it wrong,” he says. Discussions about the mast have been ongoing since 2002 and three weeks ago a letter addressed to Radio NZ was sent out by Sport Tas-

man and Nelson City Council hoping to spark final negotiations. This coincides with sporting groups requesting its removal in recent submissions to the council draft annual plan. Aldo says the actual dollar cost to relocate the mast or build a new one is not “insurmountable” but the biggest hurdle is Radio NZ agreeing to sell the land back to Nelson City Council in return for a new area. Other options for the location of the mast include Wakapuaka, where a Radio Rhema tower already sits, or into Tasman. Nelson City Council parks and facilities manager Paul McArthur says the removal would be beneficial for the long term development of Saxton Field. He says the current mast is meeting all necessary standards but said “it's not ideal”, when asked about the radiation risks in such a highly populated area. Nelson City Council and Sport Tasman hope the reply from Radio NZ to arrive in the coming weeks.

Old meets new at cycleway opening

Monday’s official opening of the Richmond deviation cycle track saw Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne don a top hat and tails. Richard took on Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio in a time trial penny-farthing race along 100 metres of the new track and thought he would dress the part. He was safety conscious though, and swapped the top hat for a helmet when he hopped on the old-style bike. Richard had had a few practice runs before the big event so was

feeling quietly confident about the result. The cycleway, which was the missing link between Wakatu Dr and the Railway Reserve, is a 1.6 kilometre dedicated off-road facility. It will also form part of the Tasman Cycle Loop which is the first instalment of the national cycle track introduced by Prime Minister John Key last year. The track has also been futureproofed should the deviation need to be widened. West Coast Tasman MP Chris

Auchinvole believes the track is beautiful and the NZTA, who funded the project, should be proud of the final product. The track will now link Stoke and Richmond and provide a safe, uninterrupted transit between the two suburbs. The important project will now keep cyclists, walkers and runners safe from the 20,000 vehicles that travel along the deviation each day. “This will reduce congestion. It’s a fabulous asset for the Tasman and Nelson districts,” says Chris.

Technology to help St John save more lives Finding the quickest route is essential business for St John, so the addition of 23 Navman GPS units in its vehicles is certainly a big help. Twenty-three St John emergency vehicles across Nelson and Marlborough have been fitted with Navman GPS navigation units – thanks to the generosity of the Freemasons. The devices will help St John drivers find the quickest way to reach its more than 300,000 patients a

year. Barry Howell, St John district operations manager, welcomed the donation by the Nelson Freemasons. “These units will assist our officers with up-to-theminute route maps and directions. We are grateful for the Navman units as every second counts when getting to an emergency.” Barry says the units had the latest maps which would help officers find addresses SPOT ON GIFT: Lindsay McCaw of St John holds a Navman, 23 in some of Nelson’s remote of which were donated to St John by the Nelson Freemasons.

Brendon Barnett’s World Youth Championship fund took a massive leap forward this week. The Waimea College long jumper was donated a signed 1997 Bledisloe Cup rugby ball and a pair of signed David Tua boxing gloves to sell on TradeMe and help aid the $9000 required for the Lille, France tournament. Waimea College sports director Daniel Hobbs donated the rugby ball which he won when working as a retailer at H&J Smith, while the boxing gloves were donated by Car Company owner Shane Drummond. The 17 year-old was selected to represent New Zealand at the July tournament on the back of his national Mens 16 record of 7.19 metres. “To go to this World Champs has been a dream of mine for the past two or three years and it’s all right here. I just need a bit of support to get there,” says Brendon. He says “it’s great” that Daniel and Shane have supported him and donated memorabilia. Both bids close tonight. Search Brendon Barnett at www.trademe.co.nz to find the listings. The rugby ball was sitting at $490 as of Tuesday afternoon. Brendon is also holding a quiz night fundraiser on May 20. Tickets are $10 per person but you must enter in a team of eight. Tickets are available from: Village Cycles, Hardy’s Health Store, NBS & Waimea College Finance Centre.

Museum gets famous Peter Bush collection New Zealand rugby’s great photographer will be at the Nelson Provincial Museum this weekend, helping launch his exhibition in what is being described as a “real coup” for the city. In Rugby World Cup year demand for the Peter Bush exhibition has been unprecedented and museum chief executive Peter Millward says Nelson has been fortunate to get it. The exhibition is being opened by Peter Bush and rugby commentator Keith Quinn this Friday night and will feature dozens of his iconic photographs of the All Blacks, both on and off the field. Peter Bush started working on the sidelines as a young cadet for the New Zealand Herald in 1949, at a game between the All Blacks and the Wallabies. Since then, he has photographed hundreds of matches at home and overseas, enjoying privileged access to the All Black teams, both on and off the field. The exhibition also includes a One of the classic photoset of mural sized graphs of the Peter Bush works and a DVD collection that will be on in which Peter display at the Nelson ProBush recounts the vincial Muyseum from this stories behind his weekend.

Jet setting Jess gets ready to take on the world Not every 14 year-old has the dream of helping people. But for Waimea College student Jess Pickering a trip to South East Asia in July will see this dream come true. As part of the school’s group involved in the World Challenge Jess and 13 other students will spend a month in Vietnam and Cambodia experiencing the culture and helping the locals. But it is the locals here in Tasman that have helped Jess raise the money for the trip. In total each student has had to raise $7,200 plus other costs includ-

ing injections and spending money. Local businesses like Super Liquor and NBS have got behind the teenager. The Waimea Weekly has also donated Jess a page in this week’s paper where she will collect all of the money from the advertisers. (See page 22 for this.) “Everyone wants to help, whether they’ve helped me or someone else in the group.” Jess says she knows when she gets back she will see things differently. “I’m going to be so much more grateful then what I was before.”

Not all teenagers think like this, but Jess says all she wants to do is help people. “I know how fortunate I am and I know a lot of people don’t have what I have. “I want to say ‘yes I can go overseas and I can do that for myself, I can do that again’. Jess says she knows a lot of kids are more worried these days about being at home and being able to go shopping. “They don’t look at things how I look at them and I’m happy about that. It’s good to see things differently.”

The medical team of Dr Lucia Mitchell and Dr Janine Bailey, along with practice manager Julia McGrath, administrator Julianne Horner and receptionist Nancy White, will take

care of all your health needs this cold season. Washbourn Medical Centre has also recently obtained Cornerstone accreditation. This accreditation derives from a programme designed specifically for general practices in New Zealand that focuses on quality improvement and a quality assurance process. The team say they were thrilled to receive their accreditation and say this shows they have a small practice which is able to provide the personal touch.

Margaret has been diagnosed with dementia and forgetting her favourite recipes is just one side affect the Richmond woman is noticing. Margaret, 67, was diagnosed last year after suffering a series of bad nightmares. She also sometimes forgets what day it is, what time it is and what she is intending to say. And it’s only going to get worse. While still just mild, there is no cure for dementia and Margaret is resigned to the fact that as time passes, so to will her memory worsen. Tony says his wife would often go to say something to him and then forget what she had in mind. But the pair work together to make life a bit easier. “We’ve actually combined it together and what Margaret doesn’t remember I try to.” Although the future looks bleak for Margaret, Tony believes his wife is handling things pretty well despite not being able to do things she has done for years. “It is FAMILY SUPPORT: Margaret Westley and her husband tough to watch but you have to be toler- Tony have come to grips with Margaret’s dementia.

Hundreds turn out for Mothers Day walk Celebrating a healthy lifestyle was on the cards this Mothers Day for several hundred local women. Over 200 ladies from across the district participated in the annual Jennian Homes Mothers Day 5km walk around Richmond on Sunday in great conditions. Saturday had been a wet one but Sunday morning dawned dry and just a little overcast, perfect for a stroll for many mother’s and their daughter’s, even the odd grandmother was thrown in for good measure. The walk started at the Jennian Homes office in Richmond and made its way along the cycle path towards Stoke. The ladies then turned back and headed along Main Rd to the finish line. The event, which raises awareness about heart disease, especially in women, was proudly supported by local company Jennian Homes who run the event

Ray Anderson trophy moves south The Top of the South VMX club held their annual Ray Anderson Memorial earlier this month in Tadmor. More than 60 riders turned up to a fine day with full start gates for all the classes. This year it was the turn of the Pre 75’s to race for the Ray Anderson trophy, which was fitting as this era of bikes were one of Ray’s favourites. Christchurch’s Rob Salby dominated the Pre 7578 combined class winning all three rounds on his 1971 BSA550 to take the Ray Anderson and club championships for the Pre 75 class. Rob Anglesey and Ross Duncan had a tight battle in the Pre 78 class with no one rider dominating

completely and both having to race hard all day with Duncan piping Anglesey in the last race to take the overall win. By the end of the day some rough sections emerged, hammering both the rider and bike. The fast pace took its toll on several bikes and riders including a long push back to the pits for Mark Culverwell after his YZ250 ceased out on the track. Many riders are now facing long nights in the shed to get bikes ready for the third round of the Mainland series starting in Linkwater on June 19. For full results and upcoming events see www. sportsground.co.nz/tosvmx.

COVERED IN MUD: Wanderers player Stace Lines runs through the mud and up the field as his team take on Riwaka on Saturday afternoon. The final score was 38 – 10 to the Wanderers. A hatrick of tries went to Floyd Cavell and Dion Palmer and Ethan Johnston also scored one each. Three conversions were made by Tyler Bergman and Stacy Johnston also got one over the post. Despite the weather the crowd support was still great. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Wanderers start season on the right note Carol Cook Although played at a frenetic pace the Wanderers Taylors A and Nelson College B game was a low scoring encounter – with neither team reaching double figures in any of the quarters. Wanderers have a more experienced roster and had an abundance of possession but failed to capitalise on the score board. Nicole Gardiner was an effective feeder at wing attack before moving to the circle for the final quarter. She worked the circle well to find good space to score six of her team’s seven goals. Emese Bismark had a sound first half at wing defence and after moving to centre in the second half had a great tussle with the young, talented Nicole Drummond. Goal defence, Imogen Smith toiled to create turnover ball and worked to deliver ball to her offensive third. The college finished strongly to win the second half, however Wanderers took the game 27 – 25. It took Garin Senior A a few STRONG DEFENCE: Wanderers wing defence Cindy minutes to find their way when Purdy looks down the court for a pass.

strong start. Garin played some great straight lines with centre, Tess Eden a pivotal link through court shouldering a hefty work load. Shooter Dakota Sigley displayed a safe pair of hands to pull in some difficult ball and was the dominant shooter netting 18 of her team’s 24 goals. The teams were locked at 14 all at half time however, Garin lost a little momentum in the third quarter and the new shooting combination did not have the same understanding which allowed Prices a five goal lead. Garin, to their credit looked more focussed in the final period and finished strongly but came up short 24 – 30. Overall they could definitely be awarded a pass mark for their first hit out and could be a little disappointed that they did not get within five goals to get a bonus point. Cheyenne Sigley was a strong competitor - the “jack of all trades” as she donned no fewer than three bibs during the game. Abbie Powick was solid at wing defence and gained a fair amount of tip ball but must look to adjust her distance in future.

Waimea College are preparing for one of the biggest rival matches of the year this weekend against Nelson College. The young squad are taking on the city team at Nelson College from 12.30pm this Saturday after a strong win over Marlborough Boys last weekend. “It’s nice to get a win over a boy’s school when we’re co-ed,” says manager Jim Matthews. The score was 13 all for a while but Waimea scored in the closing minutes to secure the win with the final score sitting at 20-13. Try scorers were Sean Clementson and Connor Karena. Luka Roden was on good form with the boot and converted both tries and kicked two penalties. “The boy’s were happy with the win, it’s what they needed, it’ll help with the confidence,” says Jim. The team have been trying a number of different combinations, which has been working well. The squad is made up of quite a number of young boys who are generally smaller than the other rugby players they come up against. “The forward pack especially doesn’t have the size others have so the boys have been working hard on their fitness to overcome this size difference,” says Jim. The coaches are happy with how the squad is shaping up and the improvement the boys are making from week to week. Jim says the Nelson game will be a tough mountain for the team to climb. “After that is St Bedes, which will be even tougher.” The final game in the first round will be against newest Press Cup contender Nayland College.

Club champs go off with a bang Local drivers triumphed at the Kartsport Nelson club championships over the weekend despite treacherous conditions. The cadet class was the only division on Saturday night that didn’t have a local driver win. The junior restricted class was won by Jamie Smith. The winner of the junior class was won by the only female in the group, Tenial Rassmusan from Hope. Tenial has recently returned from the nationals in Invercargill and she took this experience on to the track with her on Saturday. “She cleaned up. We gave her an award for the most outstanding drive of the night,” says club president Pete Fitzgibbon. The senior classes also saw locals

triumph. The senior Yamaha class was won by Matthew Butchard and the rotax light division was dominated by Brendon Gridley, who won every race. The rotax heavy class was won by Duncan Barrett but Blenheim driver Taylor Forbes put up a good fight. The Yamaha club class was won by Nelson’s Kevin Baker but it was a close contest between him and Aaron Adcock. Pete says the turnout on Saturday night was good despite the terrible weather and the racing under lights made for a few spills. The next big meet for the club is the New Zealand Central Sunbelt Championships held on June 4 and 5. Drivers will come from around the country FAST DRIVER: Richmond’s Brandon Dove, 10, and dad Glenn at the Kartsport Nelson track in Redwood Valley on Saturday night.

Snippets of History - Nelson’s first mayor Although Nelson was declared a city in 1858, it was another 16 years before it had a City Council. In its early years the town was administered by a Board of Works and this body remained in existence till 1874 when the first City Council was established. It wasn’t elected, the Board of Works members became the Council overnight. They then selected one of their own, Joseph Field Dodson, as Mayor. Dodson, businessman and brewer,

disagreed with the council over the city’s funding system, and resigned his position a year later. However he returned to the post for a further four-year term in 1877. To read more Snippets of History, purchase your copy of both volumes from Marsden House for $15 each. Snippets of History are also available in a two-disc audio CD pack for $25 each. Proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to local Nelson charities.

Waimea Old Boys 2011

www.wobrfc.co.nz

Shift in game times this weekend Waimea Old Boys division one game against Huia at Jubilee Park this Saturday is kicking off at 2pm, not the usual 3pm. The division two side kicks off at 12.30pm.

Mixed results for WOB The Waimea Old Boys senior women side were shocked to be kept off their try line against Stoke over the weekend and will looking forward to a week’s respite. The team will need to re-group and enjoy a bye this weekend before playing Central women the week after. Stoke were able to come away with a 22-0 win over the ladies despite some moments of clarity. The Stables WOB division one squad played Riwaka at home and were also unable to pull out a win, going down 5-0. However, the Stables WOB thirds team switched things around and were able to triumph over Stoke 14-6. The thirds and B’s will be hoping to continue their winning form while other WOB teams will be working hard this week to pull a win out of the bag. More photos from the wet weekend’s games are available on the club’s facebook page.

Weather conditions went from one extreme to the other within a week for the Super Liquor division two Waimea Old Boys team. After playing under blue skies and sunshine last week the team had to deal with a field heavily drenched during the week and on game day. The visiting Murchison side are a team always known for their tough physical approach to the game and this game was no different. With the conditions dictating the style of play for both teams the game never really gained any momentum, an early handling error from the Murchison back line allowed first five Bradley Crisp to pick up the loose ball and win the race to the try line to give Waimea an early lead. From then, both teams battled each other and the elements, the score remaining five nil until 15 minutes from full time. After gaining enough field position and go forward,

flanker Jesse Walker slipped through the defensive line and released his unmarked winger Dan Smith who crossed for Waimea’s second try. Murchison never gave up the battle and spent the last period of the game continually threatening Waimea’s try line. After multiple infringements Waimea received a yellow card and the visitors were able to score their only points in the last play of the game. Waimea showed they had learnt from their loss in similar conditions a couple of weeks ago, showing a big improvement in areas that they came up short in during that game. Tireless efforts in the forward pack from prop Tamaio Piripi, lock Hamish Ballagh, flanker Jesse Walker and man of the match number eight Scott Lines laid the platform for a hard fought, but well deserved victory. Next week the team welcomes Huia to Jubilee Park for round three of the division two competition. Kick off is at 1.15pm.
