TASMAN TENNIS

OPEN DAY

The Appleby Bridge will not see any of the $175 million funding the NZTA has allocated for Nelson and Tasman roads, despite more concerns over the dangers cyclists face when crossing it.

Following last week’s article in the Waimea Weekly where a motorcyclist that was involved a serious accident on the bridge and a group of recreational cyclists claimed the bridge’s width was a danger to other cyclists, a former cycle club president of 28 years has come forward with similar concerns.

When the New Zealand Transport Agency released a statement last week highlighting its $175m package for the Nelson-Tasman area, it was suggested that it would “improve facilities for walking and cycling in Nelson”.

But the NZTA confirmed on Monday that improvements to

the State Highway 60 Appleby Bridge were not put forward as a funding priority in the Regional Transport Committee’s 2012-15 regional programme and therefore were not included in the national programme.

NZTA state highways manager Rod James appreciated that cyclists are keen to have more room on this particular bridge but says widening it isn’t always the most feasible solution. He says if motorists drove with patience, care and refrained from making risky passing manoeuvres on the bridge it would solve the current problems.

It is not the first time the bridge’s safety has come under fire. In 2009 the NZTA acted on concerns from cyclists about the bridge putting in one of the first cyclist-activated warning signs to alert motorists to the presence SEE PAGE 3

Youth service launched A new youth service has launched, aimed at giving school leavers a helping help.

Tasman-Nelson Youth Services will help 16 and 17 year olds discover their strengths and options so that they can decide on their next step, whether it’s into training, work or further education.

The service will continue to support the young people as they progress through various train-

ing-education options and until they are over 18 years of age.

The Tasman-Nelson Youth Service headquarters are at Waimea College on Salisbury Rd but manager Pip Berkett says they aim to make their service easily accessible to young people by setting up another base in Nelson City as well as taking it into other secondary schools.

“To some extent yes. We’ve got quite a lot of food supplies and water supplies. We haven’t put a plan in place for meeting each other though.”

“We were in the first Christchurch earthquake so that was good motivation to get further prepared.”

“Yeah we are fully set up. We have everything, I was a former Civil Defence controller so I’m well aware of what to do.”

“We’ve got a surival kit in the cupboard with a torch, batteries, food and water. We got it after the Christchurch earthquakes.”

Band should NBus app hits pack venue online market Publican Tony Crosbie is expecting one of the biggest nights of the year this Saturday with outstanding rock band Repeat Offenders taking to the stage.

Tony is expecting a full house at the Star & Garter in Richmond and says the entertainment is “on me” with no cover charge to get in.

The heavy metal cover band kicks off at 8pm and Tony is urging people to get in early to make sure they get a good place to watch the action.

“It’s going to be huge, we’ve had some big nights here so far this year but I think this will be right up there. Anyone who likes great rock music will enjoy it and I know the band is really keen to really announce themselves on the local scene with a great performance so it should be a cracker,” he says.

Tony says he’s looking forward to everyone having a great time but they should “of course” drink in moderation.

The NBus application designed by two Garin College students is now available for purchase on the Apple App Store.

The application, which could soon feature on Android and other smart phone devices, will give NBus customers access to full timetables and calculate fare costs at their finger tips.

Nelson City Council is smallest council in New Zealand to have an application that aligns with its transport system. There are similar programmes in Auckland and Wellington.

NCC web content developer Dan Richardson, who oversaw the project, says he is pleased with 15 year old students Callum McMenamin and Jack Green Hill’s final product. “I think they’re really talented guys and they’ve got a bright fu-

ture ahead of them,” he says. “They came up with the initial idea and we worked together to find out the best way of doing it.”

Dan says it will benefit customers who are “out and about” but need to know when the next bus is scheduled.

Callum and Jack came up with the idea when they were travelling into Nelson City on the NBus regularly for work experience at South Tec and now Lucid Design. The pair noted a “confusing” pricing system that is calculated through four separate zones and decided to do something proactive to help others solve the “funny algorithm”, Callum said last month.

The application is free to download and you can find it by searching “NBus” on the Apple App Store today.

Schools sign up for quake drill Phillip Rollo A Christchurch earthquake survivor who is now teaching in the region is urging others to join New Zealand ShakeOut – the first nationwide earthquake drill.

On Wednesday September 26 at 9:26am, it is expected more than one million New Zealanders will participate in the first earthquake drill held nationwide in any country.

More than 18,000 individuals across the Nelson-Tasman region have already signed up for New Zealand ShakeOut with those figures spread across 24 businesses, 38 schools and 36 pre-schools.

Wakefield School teacher Tash Hinds, who was teaching at South New Brighton School when the earthquake struck, knows the importance of preparing for what to do in the event of an earthquake. “It’s obviously affected the whole country and I think that we need to be prepared for when it happens. When it actually happens you don’t realise all of the litWakefield School students Rylee Young and Brittney Turner get under their tle things that you weren’t prepared for,” she desks during an earthquake drill.

says. “The school I was in reacted really, really well. We were pretty well prepared for it in the sense that everyone pulled together and everyone was accounted for but until you’ve actually experienced an emergency like that you don’t realise the magnitude of it.”

No students were seriously injured at South New Brighton School but there was plenty of damage to its facilities. “We had burst pipes with water coming through, liquefaction, one of the bridges which is a main access point to the school was out, parents that couldn’t get to their children and we had staff in the same situation.”

Wakefield School was to participate in a number of drills before New Zealand ShakeOut on September 26. The time and date for the official “drop, cover and hold” drill are 9:26am and 26/9, which Civil Defence hopes will be clear and simple to remember.

New Zealand ShakeOut encourages Kiwis to look at their preparedness in more detail.

Patrol gets high response

Five new recruits have volunteered for the Richmond Community Patrol, giving the group its highest intake in a number of years.

Following a recruitment drive in the Waimea Weekly last month, the patrol now has a total of 32 volunteers.

The Richmond Community Patrol works as a preventative service for the police at night each weekend.

Marie Nailer says she joined because she wanted to give something back to the community. “I thought it was something that I could do. If everyone gets together to prevent things, I think that is New Richmond Community Patrol volunteers Marie Nailer and Mark the way to go. We’ve come in when everyone has Brooker.

Mark Brooker, who recently moved back to the region, says he joined because he wanted to get involved in the community. “This was a great opportunity to do that. When I read the article that Mike was looking for new members. It’s something completely new for me. I have just come back from living in Lower Hutt for three years and I had seen similar groups in that area,” he says.

Both recruits have been through their induction and have been out on the patrol already.

Marie says the major problem was “young ones” under the influence of alcohol.

The Richmond Community Patrol will be visiting local businesses this week as it fundraises to keep the service going.

Tasman District Council will continue to work with rates affected residents in Richmond West despite an “irresponsible” article being aired by Fair Go on television last week.

As first reported in the Waimea Weekly earlier this year, a group of Richmond West residents in Headingly Lane and Lower Queen St have seen their rates double and in one case quadruple due to a land rezoning process.

After one of the residents pushed for a deferment to be lifted on his property, the rezoning saw Headingly Lane and the immediate surrounding area change from rural to mixed business. That resulted in capital values sky rocketing with one valuation going from $495,000 to $1,325,000.

But so did its rates, going from $3678.60 per year to $6509.20.

Council was prepared to implement a rates postponement policy to help the effected residents.

However, through talks with the residents, that proposal was declined.

Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne understood that some residents did not want to sell and will continue to work with them on this issue. He says “it is unfortunate that one TV programme has attempted to shoehorn years of investigation, planning, consultation and decision-making into 11 minutes with the predictable result of forming an opinion.”

Drivers unaware of school bus law

Nelson Police say they are disappointed by the motoring public’s lack of knowledge of the legal speed for passing a school bus that has stopped to pick up or drop off children.

Only two percent of drivers complied with the legal speed to pass a stopped school bus and only a further 20 knew the law even existed.

Police, in partnership with the road safety

coordinators from Tasman District and Nelson City Councils are conducting a campaign to improve driver behaviour around school busses.

Last week police parked a school bus on Main Rd Stoke, Tahunanui and Richmond, with the distinctive yellow school bus signs displayed. They then monitored passing traffic, stopping and talking with any drivers who exceeded the 20km/h speed limit.

Constable Carol Heiford says police were surprised and disappointed with the results.

Most drivers spoken to thought the legal speed was 40km/h and had no idea that the 20km/h speed applied to traffic on both sides of the road, she says.

“Young school children were often oblivious to the dangers they faced around traffic, they are unpredictable and the risk of

them making a poor decision and being hit by a vehicle was one drivers needed to be aware of,” says Carol.

She adds that police had information showing that if a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle travelling at 20km/h there is a five per cent chance that they will be killed. At 40km/h there is a 27 percent chance and if the vehicle is travelling at 60km/h there is a 90 per cent chance they will be killed.

The bowling club is currently undergoing a transition process from its previous site on Lower Queen St to Club Waimea, and as part of that it is taking new digital copies of each of the photos and storing them on a hard-drive.

With no need for the physical copies anymore, the club is welcoming family members who think their relative might be in one of the photos, which are just head and shoulders photos.

The photos date all the way back to 1919 when the club was split into male and female clubs.

They were previously situated on an honours wall across the length of the clubrooms.

The club is looking at purchasing a flat screen television that will include a slideshow of the presidents from the past ten years.

Students build whare A group of Waimea College hard materials students have built a whare for a local kindergarten.

The whare, which will be used as a playhouse for the children of Richmond Kindergarten took the entire term to complete and was officially unveiled on Tuesday morning.

Paul Daubney, who teaches Year 13 hard materials at Waimea College, says it is just one of many community projects the group has undergone.

“We are open to any really because it’s great work experience for the guys.”

Richmond Kindergarten approached the school in regards to getting the students to build the whare playhouse. Other projects they are currently building include a five metre bridge for

the Nelson-Tasman Great Taste Cycle Trail and around 50 pest traps for the Department of Conservation.

But this was the first time the group had built something as large as a whare playhouse.

“We are a typical woodwork shop with classes all day. You can’t just leave it in the middle because it’ll disrupt all of the classes so the school has been really supportive and allowing us to take over one of the sheds.”

There were around a dozen students involved in the construction of the whare.

NZ’s last Battle of Britain hero When hundreds of people from around New Zealand gather for Battle of Britain Day this Saturday there will be only one man who will be able to tell a first-hand account of the famous conflict, Nelson’s Alan Gawith.

Alan, now 96 and living in Oakwoods Retirement Village, is the last New Zealander alive who fought in the battle and says looking back he is proud to have been a part of history.

The Battle of Britain – fought from July to October in 1940 – has been heralded as the most important battle to win during World War Two. It claimed thousands of lives, including civilians, and was the first time Hitler’s advance had been halted. Each year on Battle of Britain Day, September

15, people gather for a commemoration service for it and the Pacific air battles during the war. In Nelson, the event will be held at the Suburban Club from 11am with everyone welcome to attend.

One hundred and twenty seven New Zealanders were involved in the battle, most famously Air Vice Marshall Keith Park, who was in command of 11 Group, defending the south east of England from German attacks.

Nelson pilot, Squadron Leader James Hayter DFC, also had a memorable war, ending it with 11 victories in the skies. But one day, when the former Nelson College student’s plane was attacked and set on fire, he had to bail out and land in the garden of a house where a

cocktail party was taking place. Naturally he was invited to join the fun and being renowned for enjoying a good time, settled in for the party.

Alan Gawith’s first thought about the air force was in 1937 while he was working as a law clerk in Wellington. He saw an advert in the Dominion newspaper asking for recruits to the Royal Air Force and decided to apply.

After initial training with the RAF in Scotland, Alan was posted to the No 23 Squadron in Wittering, near Peterborough. He flew night patrols to France and around England and was involved in fighting in both countries. The closest he came to be-

ing shot down was much after the Battle of Britain though. He was in France when search lights and anti-aircraft guns were fired at him, but he was able to dodge them and made it safely home.

He says it was frightening work and as a result his nerves were shot after years of flying and he had to ask for medical leave to recover. In April 1944 he became senior British liaison officer at the US 9th Air Defense Command, having previously worked on plans for the invasion of Europe. Alan returned to New Zealand after the war with his family and became a lawyer. He retired with his second wife to Nelson in the mid-1980s.

New appeal for Richmond café Miles of Food is set to become an intimate tapas and wine lounge on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Richmond café will match local wines, beers and ciders with a range of lighter meals that customers can combine into larger meals. There will also be live music, creating a relaxing atmosphere for adults enjoy after a day’s work.

Owner Miles Drewery says tapas are more than just Spanish food, labelling it as a “style of eating”. “Tapas are lots of little bowls of food and not necessarily Spanish styled.

Most of the food we do here is local so we’re sticking with that,” he says.

Miles says the food that is to be included on the tapas menu – pastrami, roasted olives, home cured pancetta, salmon gravlax, spiced nuts and garlic bread with rubbed

tomato – is currently on offer in the café, although it is wasted on day-time food.

“When we originally bought the café we wanted to create a turnover to go into the wine bar thing because I’m a winemaker originally and I like the wine and food match style of things.”

Prices are likely to start around the $5 mark.

Miles’ wife Stephanie says they hoped to obtain some local musicians to perform each week.

“There isn’t anything like that in Richmond, they’re all pubs,” she says. “It’s a comfortable place you can come sit on the couch, have a bottle of wine, a couple of snacks of tapas, talk and listen to some music.”

An invite only opening night will be held on September 28 and it will be open to the public the following week.

Miles of Food owners Miles and Stephanie Drewery plan to turn the Richmond cafe into an intimate tapas and wine lounge on Friday and Saturday evenings.

ATTENTION ALL NELSON GREY POWER MEMBERS Gordon Currie announced his resignation as President of Nelson Grey Power (Assoc) Inc, effective from 12 July 2012. His resignation was made Public on 17 July 2012 and since then his resignation as President of Nelson Grey Power(Assoc) Inc has been accepted by the National Body of Grey Power New Zealand Federation Inc. Both prior to and since Mr Currie’s resignation 5 long term and experienced members of the Executive Committee have resigned.

As a result NELSON GREY POWER (ASSOCIATION) INCORPORATED is now an UNCONSTITUTIONAL INCORPORATED SOCIETY and cannot legally operate until a new President, Vice-President and Executive Committee is elected. A SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING is required for this purpose. Thirty Three (33) members have requisitioned this Special General Meeting to take place as provided for under the Associations Constitution.

It is now important for as many financial Nelson Grey Power members as possible to attend the forth coming Special General Meeting at which an election for the new President and at least 5 new Committee members will take place. The Special General meeting will be held on Thursday 27 September 2012 at 1pm at the Warnes Bowls Stadium, 206 Songer Street, Stoke. The National President of the New Zealand Grey Power Federation will be attending this meeting.

Membership of Nelson Grey Power (Assoc) Inc has been declining in recent years and has dropped from 14000 to 8600. There are worrying signs that the membership will fall even further so now is the time to elect a new President, Vice-President and Committee with the drive and determination to take Nelson Grey Power into a new era where issues facing our older population are likely to increase and a strong voice will be needed.

If you would like to play a role by being elected as President, Vice-President or as an Executive Committee member then you can obtain a NOMINATION FORM from the Special General Meeting Convener by telephoning 03 547 9472. All Nominations must be received by 4pm on Tuesday 25 September 2012.

The Waimea dynasty continues to build as the season has closed on another astonishing season for Waimea teams.

It would be fair to say that coach Faye Eden thought she would be in a “rebuilding” season with having lost seven senior players and Emily Jensen unavailable due to New Zealand Under17 Young Football Ferns commitments. However she did have the talent of Ella Marwick and Ashley Laing in the mid court that she could begin to work the team around.

The goal at the beginning of the season was to retain their spot

in the Premier grade.

They did way more than that, as not only did they retain the spot they proved to be worthy contenders in the championship final against Jacks Office Products Depot Richmond. Many may have “written off ” the college girls against the in form Jacks team however they put in a gutsy performance in losing 47–49.

Waimea then shifted their focus to the South Island Secondary Schools Tournament which was played in Dunedin last week.

Individually the team of 2011 was stronger however the 2012 roster has been a team

from the onset and has developed beautifully throughout the season culminating with winning the coveted South Island championship.

Waimea swept all before them – going through to the final with the perfect record.

They played some very talented opposition and fought hard to win intense games against St Margarets and the

defending champion Craighead before defeating Marian College 38–30 in the final.

Coach Eden always knew that she would not have her two basketball girls – Gracie Roberts and Kaitlyn Stringer in the final game (their basketball tournament was beginning on Thursday – fortunately in Dunedin!)

However, as they have done all season they played as a team and came up with the goods.

Waimea Netball

Shaun Aindow fights for the rebound in their match against Marian College. Photo Craig Baxter,ODT Hannah Davenhill (from the 10A team) and Lucy Ingham (from the B team) rose to the occasion and become excellent substitutes.

Ella and Kaitlyn’s prowess on court did not go un-noticed as they were selected as Talented ID players. Faye said “Ella’s leadership was just exceptional while Kaitlyn played every minute excluding the final”.

It was kudos too for young Shaun Aindow who shouldered the majority of the shooting, returning 85% plus for the tournament. And the big improver during the season, was without a doubt goal keep,

Freya Watson.

And where to now for Waimea – well they have a week off before getting back into training for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Tournament to be held in Timaru next month. But before that they do have something to look forward to – after moaning at having to go into the sea in Dunedin as part of their recovery, coach Faye and her assistant Lyn Olsen had promised they would both go into the sea if they won ...

Although Waimea College 10A came up short 19–26 against Nelson College for Girls A in the Grade 1 Final , they well and truly gained a pass mark from their coach, Ann Wicken. Her charges exceeded her expectations, they acquitted themselves exceptionally well against Nelson Girls and Wanderers Taylors Steel who had both played in the elite competition. Ann was elated that they defeated Nelson Girls in the major semi final to get the straight run into the final.

It would be fair to say that Saturday’s final was not Waimea’s best performance.

They had not had the ideal build up to the final with some players involved in a basketball tournament during the week and Hannah Davenhill and Katie Ditzel on duty with the “big girls’ team” in Dunedin.

Although tired, Nelson College had played eight tough games in four days and were mentally and physically up for the chal-

lenge. They applied pressure on the back throw in and Waimea had trouble getting the ball through court. The usually potent mid court lacked punch through the middle and the shooters did not have their best day. And while Waimea could consider they had a stellar season the day belonged to Nelson College as they took the title leaving Waimea runners up but still the highest ranking year 10 team to date.

Hands down, MVP for the season would be goal attack, Katie Ditzel – her sheer volume and accuracy was impressive. Hannah performed solidly throughout and is definitely a player to watch in the future. Ruby Jensen and Holly Young have gelled nicely in the mid court while the big improver is goal keep, Georgia Davies who has developed out of sight during the season.

Ann Wicken is one busy lady as she also coaches the Waimea Intermediate 8A team who began the season in Junior 1 before being

promoted to Collegiate 2. They have had some great tussles with Broadgreen Oaks throughout the season, winning the Sue Dahlberg Trophy (for the top Intermediate team) and had a convincing 31–14 victory in the final on Saturday. Shooters Eva Jensen and Demi Woolley have performed consistently while Emily Milson has proved to be a game maker at wing attack.

Diminutive Bridie Edwards has displayed great vision through court. The defensive trio of Louise Walker, Lauren Davenhill and Chelsea McManaway have been a formidable unit throughout the season.

Club to host ironman Nelson Motorcycle Club is once again hosting the Morley Honda 6 Hour Ironman and Pony Express.

The event being held this Sunday, running in its 17th consecutive year, has repeatedly attracted riders from around the country to the Nelson area with its promise of great riding and competition. Over the years the Morley Honda 6 hour has evolved into a major event on the racing calendar, with riders returning every year to improve their placing, and defend titles.

Initially designed as a quad only

event, two-wheeled motorbikes soon became the more popular choice, now making up well over half the field. The format is simple – riders have six hours to complete as many laps as they can, and can head out on their final lap at any stage before the time limit elapses. The Ironman competitors compete as individuals, while in the Pony Express class riders work in teams of two, taking turns to complete laps.

This year the event is being held in the Hira Forest, accessed from the Maitai Valley.

If you can’t bring the people to the snow, you just bring the snow to the people.

The Playhouse Café in Mapua held its second Jib Jam snowboarding competition on Friday with an estimated crowd of 90 spectators warming to the wintry event.

Reuben Kerr and Ben Godwin-Mathieson tied for first place, and Josh Godwin finished runner up.

up with the idea for the event when he first took ownership of the site. “I thought we had quite a bit of space and that we should put on a snowboarding event like they do in Queenstown,” he says. “So we just did it.”

He was impressed with the talent on display. “Some of them are really, really good. I don’t think any of them are over 20 years old so they’re really good for their age.”

The Jib Jam will continue to be an annual event, although there is talk of holding another one over summer.

One tonne of crushed ice was donated

by Sealords for the event while Placemakers donated material for the three metre drop ramp.

Proposed Plan Change 38: National Environmental Standard for Managing and Assessing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health This Change removes policies that are now inappropriate or superseded by the effect of the National Standard, reflecting new duties and processes for managing particular land uses and subdivision of Hazardous Activity and Industry List (HAIL) sites.

Proposed Plan Variation 3 to Change 10: Richmond West Development Area Technical Amendments This Change addresses technical errors and inconsistencies with the land use noise rule in the Mixed Business Zone (MBZ), visitor accommodation and community activity matters for the MBZ, and parking requirements for all activities in the MBZ and Light Industrial Zone in the Richmond West Development Area.

Submissions Any person may make a submission on any part of any of the proposed Changes.
