The increasingly expensive dream of home ownership for young Tasman families will be one step closer to reality, thanks to local couple Jason and Ange Mudgway.

Jason and Ange, who are the directors of Mudgway construction, have decided to turn their lifestyle block into an affordable housing area, as a way of giving back to the community.

Jason started to have the idea to build affordable housing about a year ago, after staff members started moving away because of the cost of living.

“I looked at the situation,” he says, “A lot of tradesmen, teachers, and nurses just can’t afford to buy their first home anymore.”

Jason believes that industries are suffering because of the lack of affordable housing for young people and young families.

“I thought, ‘something has got to happen, someone needs to do something’.”

The proposed affordable housing area would be built on Mudgway’s land on the corner of Main Road Hope and White Road, and the sections, which would be on average about 511m2, would be capped at $295,000. They could start as low as $240,000, with overall costs staying below $500,000.

There would be conditions built in, like buyers having to live in the house for three years

I’m in my dream home, a nice house on the hill with a good view, good accessabilty for me and my wife and good parking for our motorhome.

We have a cabin in the mountains near Kaikoura. It’s small, simple, and near the mountains and the sea. Lots of open space, and it’s so quiet.

My dream house would be out by Wharariki Beach, with a view of the beach, where it’s nice and quiet - ideal for retirement.

Adrienne Cooper, Murchison My dream house is one I live in now, a nice wooden house with three levels, a big garden with native trees and native birds all year round.

Affordable housing coming to Tasman FROM PAGE 1 before they could sell, no renting, and housing groups and housing developers being banned from buying In the development in order to keep prices down. The maximum house size would be 120 square metres with no garage and 140 square metres with a garage.

Jason knows what it’s like to be young and trying to make your way onto the property ladder.

“My first home was a small box in Palmerston North. It wasn’t much, but I had to work hard and work my way up, but there’s nowhere for families to start in this area.”

With two great schools, a community centre, a pre- school and a New World Supermarket proposed for Three Brothers Corner, plus the area’s short drive to Richmond, Jason says the location for

the new development is “ideal”.

The idea for an affordable housing development would focus on young families who are struggling to get on the property ladder, but it’s not exclusive. The small, affordable houses would even be attractive for retirees who don’t want to spend all their savings on a big expensive build that they might not need.

“I’ve always wanted to give something back, and now I’ve got the chance to do something. We’re not here to be greedy.”

The Tasman District Council voted seven-five against recommending granting the Mudgway’s section be a Special Housing Area (SHA) in April. However, the five who voted in favour of the SHA signed a motion May 30 to repeal the original decision and re-vote, with a seven-four vote to recommend the SHA to the Minister of Housing and Urban Develop-

An SHA is an area of land suitable for new housing, where development can be fast-tracked through

consenting powers provided by the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act. They were set up to boost housing

supply and improve affordability in the district by helping development that meets the needs of the growing population. Under the act, the council has the ability to recommend a SHA to the minister of housing.

Jason says that it still has to get through the ministry, and if it does “we’ll push the go button right away and make it happen”.

Councillors who voted against the initial proposal cite the loss of productive land as their concern, but two councillors reconsidered after further research.

“People are saying that the land is productive farming land, but it’s a lifestyle block,” Jason says.

“It’s too small to be a market garden.”

“I’d rather trade the few bottles of wine we make a year for affordable housing for young families who are struggling to own a home of their own.”

Facebook trading - be warned!

Matt McCorie The idea of buying and selling second-hand goods online isn’t new, and while it might be handy, police are warning against one of these services.

Facebook.

Facebook Marketplace was introduced in 2016 as Facebook’s answer to Trade Me, but Richmond Community Constable Kyle Abbott says that the service is causing more harm than good.

“We have seen a huge increase

in the number of people coming in who have been ripped off by selling stuff on Facebook.”

Police have been advising caution on the site for some time, but Kyle says it’s only happening more. The marketplace feature doesn’t facilitate payments through the site like Trade Me does.

Unlike Trade Me, there is also no identity verification required on marketplace.

Trade Me also offers a buyer protection service, where re-

funds are available if something goes wrong in a sale.

Facebook marketplace has no such buyer protection.

“We don’t have the same ability to work with them as we do with Trade Me. Facebook is an American site.”

Police recently investigated, an incident and discovered that the same phone had been sold eight times around the country, and “people are out of pocket.”

“You should always meet the seller and pay in cash.”

CLM working out for clean water Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The best thing after an intense workout is a cold glass of clean water. But that’s not exactly what the CLM Workout for Water week is about.

With the upgraded lane pool about to be filled at the Richmond Aquatic Centre with 742,000 litres of water, it’s safe to say that water isn’t as much a premium here as it is in some parts of the world.

It’s hard to imagine having to walk for hours just to get clean drinking water, but that’s a reality for many children in East Africa.

From Monday, 17 June, CLM Health and Fitness at the Aquatic centre will be running the Workout for Water campaign, part of a larger fundraising drive to support UNICEF’s work to provide clean drinking water to those who need it most.

The event means that anyone can attend Les Mills or Aqua classes at the Richmond Aquatic Centre for the week, for a donation towards UNICEF. 2017 was the national kick-off of the initiative where more than

life-changing for kids.

For many children, especially girls, walking four hours to bring buckets of water home for the family is a daily reality. The journey can be dangerous, and often prevents kids from being able to get to school.

Even when kids are able to go to school, they are often unable to focus, as they are too tired from walking for hours to collect water.

And if the water is dirty, it leads to disease and under-nutrition.

Now, it’s about getting the local community involved.

UNICEF New Zealand Executive Director Vivien Maidaborn says the solar-powered water systems in Ethiopia will give thousands of children access to clean, safe and sustainable water that can help them to grow up healthy and strong.

“This year we want our community to be part of this, too,” Marsha said.

CLM Marketing Co-ordinator Crystal Gaiger says that the week is an opportunity for people of all fitness levels to go and enjoy group fitness workouts set to fresh music.

“And you get that special buzz from knowing that you’re helping others and making a difference.”

Students put colour into community A new, colourful mural now brightens the side of the Richmond Town Hall building, and local pupils are to thank.

The idea came last year, when a local youth worker, Millie Bourke, was trying to find a way to help engage with kids at Waimea Intermediate.

“I wanted to find a way to help get kids more involved with their community,” Millie said.

With a passion for art, Millie decided to use her talents to try and help the youngsters give something back. Seven students got together to work on the mural.

The idea for the design was ‘What makes Tasman what it is’, with panels representing ideas like ANZAC, native birds, helping the community, diversity, natural landscape, and grapes for the region’s horticulture.

Two hands represent the older generation handing over those aspects to the younger generation.

The project helped encourage the students in their artistic abilities, “It got them out of their shells, and gave them confidence,” Millie says.

“It can be daunting when you paint something like this that everyone will see, but they did an Some of the artists behind the mural, from left; Lianna Godwin, Millie Bourke, Annie Swain, Melia Avery, and Ben Ah Kiau, with their newly- finished creation that now decorates the Richmond Town Hall.

Hope hosts national Poultry Show Matt McCrorie The Nelson Poultry & Pigeon Club are hosting the New Zealand National Poultry Show this weekend at the Hope Hall, Main Rd Hope.

Birds, ducks, and geese are travelling from as far south as Riverton and as far north as Whangarei to compete for the NZ Championship title in their breed.

The hall on its own is not big enough to house nearly 1400 birds, so a marquee will be set up outside as well.

This is the first time in the show’s 132-year history that the Tasman region will host the NZ show.

“It’s been months of work to get ready for it, from many volunteers,” says Pam Buschl, a member of the Nelson Poultry and Pigeon Club and one of the organisers.

There are 1350 birds arriving on Friday, with the serious business of judging starting on Saturday morning.

This will be the largest display of heritage purebred poultry this region has seen.

There are Dorkings, Faverolles, and Houdans and Legbars from the rare breed section. The beautiful Sebastopol and Chinese Geese are making an appearance, too.

The junior section has an amazing 50 entries from children aged 6– 16 years. They will be busy washing and fluffing up feathers to vie for Best Junior in the Show.

Pam and Rodger Buschl, from the Nelson Poultry and Pigeon club, are the organisers of this years National Poultry show, being hosted at the Hope Community Hall. The event will see nearly 1400 birds from around the country travel to the area, and is the first time in the event’s history that it has been held in the Tasman region. Photo: Matt McCrorie.

Edith Mertens has a new set of wheels, thanks to the Richmond Hospice Shop.

The local Physiotherapist was shocked when she received a call last Tuesday, telling her that she had won a near-new ladies Classique bike.

The bike was given away as a raffle, run by the Richmond Hospice Shop to raise money.

The shop recently received the bike as a donation, when the original owner bought it but

decided it wasn’t exactly what she wanted. Rather than sell it or take it back, she decided that the Hospice Shop could use it to raise money.

“The donation was just truly fantastic,” said Anete Smith, the manager of the Richmond Hospice Shop.

The Hospice Shop sold tickets from its four stores over the last few weeks, and Anete says being able to give away such an amazing prize made for one of their most successful raffles yet, raising over $1000.

Edith is a frequent visitor to the Hospice Shop, and as a big

fan of recycling and reusing, she was over the moon when she found out the bike was second-hand.

“I come from the Netherlands, where everyone has three bikes” Edith says, “So I’ve really been missing it.”

Edith says that there’s no better place for owning a good bike.

“In the Tasman area we have such beautiful bike paths, it will be fantastic to enjoy our beautiful area and what a great cause to raise money for.”

Who knows, you might even see dogs Spock and Kirk in tow behind her.

Garry earns Gold Shield for Richmond community service

Garry earned the award for his services as Community Patrol New Zealand’s manager of statistics.

Jacob Page Garry Thompson is one to tell others to “keep up the good work”.

It is safe to say he practices what he preaches.

Mr Thompson is one of eight recipients nationally of the Gold Shield Award for his services to the Richmond and Districts Community Patrol over the past 13 years.

Garry said that he couldn’t believe that he was the recipient of the award, “when they started talking about Gold awards, I just about fell over, I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t feel worthy”.

“I’m retired but you always need something to get out of bed for,” he said “That’s my calling card, I tell people to keep up the good work.”

Garry joined the Nelson Community Patrol in 2006 because he wanted to give back to his community and he knew the value of volunteering.

He transferred to Richmond in 2007 and became the first elected Tasman District representative to the National Community Patrols of New Zealand, a position he held until 2016.

Currently, he is the national statistics manager, a position he has held since 2008.

The Gold Shield award is the highest honour for Community Patrols in New Zealand and is generally reserved for police commissioners and long-serving chairpersons. ”My father (Lionel) got an MBE for services to the community and I was Area Commissioner in Scouts in the Top of the South for eight years, so I always wanted to give back. ”I believe in the concept and it’s gratifying to help the police and in turn help your community. ”It can be frustrating at times, but at other times good things happen. ”We may be volunteers but we like to think we’re professional volunteers, and even as a volunteer, you like to have job satisfaction.”

Garry said he enjoyed statistics because he saw it as a way to to interact with people and provide information which helped others.

“You need a reason to get out of bed and that can’t always be TV or a book.”

The Mitchell Kerr-trained runner won the Winter Cup prelude on Friday, but had to settle for second in the Winter Cup proper thanks to Storm Prince.

It was Change Is Good’s first tilt at 3000m and she was aiming for

five wins in a row, but was run down by Storm Prince who got a softer run on the leader’s back and then used the passing lane to charge past the favourite.

Change is Good used to be trained at Richmond Park by

Change Is Good will likely head to the second day of the races in Blenheim in a fortnight.

Youth find new ways to conquer famine Kate Russell Every time 16-year-old Laura Eyles reached for her phone over the weekend, she had to remind herself of those less fortunate than her.

The Nayland College student underwent a two-day detox from social media for the World Vision 40 Hour Famine.

More than 1,000 local students took part in the country’s largest youth fundraising event, which ran from Friday night until Sunday.

Students can either take on a challenge or give something up for 40 hours - like food, warm blankets, speaking or technology, all to provide life-saving aid for South Sudanese refugees in Uganda.

This was the third time Laura participated and says she chose some-

thing that would be hard for her to go without.

“I had to uninstall apps but I still found myself always reaching for my phone to message people.”

Fellow student Neele Micholka went without her laptop and television for her very first famine.

“It wasn’t too hard, I just kept busy with other things,” she says.

Nayland College teacher and organiser Ihaka Griffin-Matthews says around 30 students took part and they also had a mufti day to raise funds.

The money will help provide food, clean water, foster care and household items for South Sudanese refugees from the moment they cross the border. Since the event started in 1975, it has raised more than $80 million and helped thousands of children living in poverty.

Freedom campers a problem As we enter the traditional ‘low’ winter tourist season, some are still having problems with freedom campers in the Tasman region.

Maureen Pugh, National List MP for West Coast-Tasman, has said that providing more free of charge facilities is not a long term answer.

Maureen says that there are reasons for rules like distances between camp sites with fuel and gas involved, however we now have

large numbers of campers moving around the region in unserviced vehicles.

“Allowing them to simply ‘park up’ on roadsides is having disastrous effects to health, safety and environment,” she says.

Maureen is also suspicious of some campers’ vehicles which have a ‘self-contained’ sticker, after hearing reports that these labels can be picked up for 10 cents each.

Network Tasman focusing on regional growth

Network Tasman’s new ten-year asset plan will focus on capital investment projects that will support regional growth.

“During the next ten years we plan to invest $120 million on our network,” says Network Tasman’s Network Manager Murray Hendrickson.

Several significant projects are in the pipeline, with a new Transmission grid exit point in Brightwater that will be completed in 2024 Two big local projects that are being worked on at the moment are installing a new underground cable from Waimea West to Appleby Highway, to reduce power interruptions, and undergrounding the power lines on Ellis Street in Brightwater.

Murray says that an increased demand in the industrial sector for things like cold storage, rest homes, hop processing and dairy irrigation, as well as residential growth, have created the need for these projects.

Local author finalist in book awards

Tapawera resident Brin Murray’s new book ‘Children of the Furnace’ is a finalist in two categories (Best First Book and Young Adult Fiction) at the 2019 New Zealand Book Awards.

Children of The Furnace centres on the story of Brin Murray Wil, a child who discovers that he’s “marked as a Heater, one of the old-time heretics who burned up the world”.

When Brin Murray started writing the book around 2012, she says climate change wasn’t mainstream news.

However, Brin says, “I’m a scientist by training.

Climate change was very real to me, and it just seemed natural that I should set my story in a world where extremism has flourished due to climate change.”

The new novel shows what happens when people become frustrated to desperation by lack of action. They turn to extremist solutions. The future is an unknown, but we know the past:

Flu runs rampant through schools Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Flu season is hitting Nelson schools “hard and early” with one local principal saying it’s the worst he’s seen in his 12 years in charge.

Hampden Street School had 97 students away with flu symptoms on Tuesday, May 28 and have reported similar numbers throughout that same week.

“We had 80 students away on the Monday and 90 away on the Thursday as well, out of a roll of 472 children,” says principal Don McLean.

“We also had eight teachers sick, with one being hospitalised. It’s the hardest we’ve been hit in the 12 years I’ve been here. We’ve never had anything like it before.”

Maureen Phillips, Principal of St Paul’s School in Richmond, said that there has been an increase in students away with the flu in the last few weeks, with around 55 students off school with the flu or flu-like symptoms.

“A lot of kids and their families are knocked out for about a week.”

Waimea Intermediate Principal Justine McDonald said that the flu-symptoms have started appearing a lot earlier this year.

“We’ve had quite a bit of sickness already, some head-colds, a lot of flu-like symptoms.”

Tahunanui School also recorded 41 students away on Monday and Birchwood School have had up to 40 students absent in one day with flu symptoms.

According to Nelson Hospital ED presentations and admissions for May, children were the most frequent for flu-like illnesses, with 31 per cent being aged 0-4 and six percent being 5-9-year olds.

“We are seeing large numbers of young people with flu-like illnesses, especially young children and infants,” says Dr Nick Baker, chief medical officer at Nelson Marlborough Health.

Over May, 162 people presented to Nelson Hospital’s ED with influenza-like illnesses, with 36 of those people being admitted to hospital - including pregnant women.

“This is a particularly heavy and early start to the flu season.

Given the national reporting and what we are seeing in our own community, we should all be preparing for a bad season,” says Nick.

He says the spike of cases in the region is putting pressure on the hospital.

“When people are admitted to hospital with suspected influenza they are put into ‘droplet isolation’ and we also put robust infection prevention protocols into place. This all puts pressure on bed use, ward organisation and staffing.”

have hit near record levels nationwide, with Pharmac reporting it has distributed over 1.26 million doses of the vaccine so far this winter.

This demand means that while many general practices, health providers, and pharmacies have vaccines available, the national stockpile is now running low.

Nick says the current shortage does not affect those who are eligible for free flu immunisations, and they are urged to make an appointment at their GP, after-hours medical centres or selected pharmacy if they are not already immunised.

This includes pregnant women, those aged 65 and over, children up to the age of five who have had respiratory illnesses, people with severe asthma, heart disease, diabetes and other serious health conditions and children between 6 and 35 months.

For everyone else, Nick advises them to seek medical advice if they think they, or someone they care for, has the flu.

“Most people can care for themselves and others at home by following self-care advice and by asking Healthline nurses or the GP practice for further advice,” he says.

“It’s important to stay home from work or school and away from other people while you are unwell, and to frequently and thoroughly wash your hands as well as catch coughs and sneezes in a disposable tissue.”

Photographer Cadby Kong is helping people capture special moments at a low cost. Photo: Supplied.

Man has ‘life’ stolen after sleeping at beach

Sara Hollyman A man who came to the NelsonTasman area wanting to spread joy by sharing his photography skills has had his “life stolen” out of his car while parked up at Tahunanui Beach.

Cadby Kong was in Nelson last year when he started the Door to Door Barber and gave away 100 haircuts.

He recently returned to the area for his next project, 100 memories for 100 people, which aims to give people a chance to capture a special moment for $50; a fraction of the cost a professional photographer would normally charge.

Cadby returned to New Zealand, where two of his brothers were born in November 2017, with his mother and three brothers, after being deported due to visa complications while in Australia.

Since then he has been travelling the country freelancing as a photographer, videographer and barber.

Cadby says, after photographing a first birthday party on Saturday, he stayed up until around 1am working on his laptop.

He decided to spend the night sleeping on Tahunanui Beach, as he had done the last time he was here.

“I feel bad for bothering people, I have places I could just rock up to, but I feel bad so I thought I’d just go sleep there [at the beach].”

When he returned to the car, which he is borrowing, on Sunday morning, he found the window smashed and his backpack containing “his life” had been stolen.

The bag contained his camera, barbering equipment, computer, hard drive and printer - around $20,000 worth of equipment.

“People say ‘oh, it’s just a backpack’, it’s not a backpack, it’s my whole life in there. I know it’s my fault for parking there, it wasn’t smart.”

He says he was “kind of shocked” at how well he took the loss and holds a philosophical view of the events.

“I’m really grateful for what’s been happening.”

Cadby took to social media to share what had happened and within hours someone had commented saying they had found his camera on the beach; it has since been reunited with him.

His other belongings are yet to be returned but Cadby says he harbours no ill will.

“Every human being in this world do something for a reason, and when you understand the reason, you can have compassion.”

Celebrating loCal forestry and logging

Tasman Pine Forests are proud to sponsor and support the inaugural Top of the South Forestry Awards.

Tasman Pine Forests are Nelson/Marlborough forest owners, managers and woodlot purchasers.

The forestry and logging industry in the Nelson/Tasman region continues to show its strength, resilience and importance to the economic strength of the region.

Forestry and logging contributes $114 million towards the gross domestic product in the Nelson/Tasman region, according to statistics released by the Forest Owners Association and compiled by the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research. The economic impact

of forestry and logging is larger than sheep meat, wool and beef and veal production.

The Nelson Port is the fifth largest exporter of sawn timber and logs in New Zealand.

With the economic impact undeniable, the inaugural Top of the South Forestry Awards will be held on Friday night at the Trafalgar Centre.

Committee representative and facilitator, Nathan Taylor, said the timing was right to recognise the hard work of the indus-

try. “We have a lot to celebrate about our industry in this part of the country, we have been industry leaders in the past with mechanisation and have some really capable people working the slopes,” he said. “It’s fair to say we have seen the benefits of the other regions that manage forestry awards and we think our industry is keen to follow this, too.” With forestry being a renewable resource the future is looking very bright for the associated industries.

the staff. “Our local team of seven provide woodlot forestry services from our office in Richmond, with support from head office in Rotorua,” says Nelson Branch Manager, Sam Nuske.

PF Olsen started off in Nelson almost 30 years ago, focusing on the establishment, and later tending, of the woodlots planted in the early 90’s. The focus has now shifted to the harvesting and subsequent replanting of these forests, along

with the planting of new ones under the new government’s One Billion Tree policy.

“Locally, we pride ourselves on the supply of logs to sawmills from our clients’ forests. This provides continuity of work for sawmills, but also provides more stable log prices than that of the export market, giving us and our contractors more confidence to invest in our businesses and resulting in a better service to our clients.”

Stuart Drummond Transport Since Stuart Drummond Transport was first established in 1985, the company has gone from strength to strength.

“We’ve had lots of growth from around 22 trucks to 45 and we’ve increased our staff from 30 to 35 employees to just over 60 people,” says Managing Director Brodie Drummond.

“We cart over 900,000 tonnes of logs per year and have seven

trucks than run 24 hours per day, five days a week across the Top of the South, with the rest of our fleet operating on a day shift basis.”

Brodie was just 26 years old when he took on the Manager’s role which he says was a fair bit of responsibility managing 35 staff. Stuart Drummond Transport has many long serving staff members and the business has just celebrated one employee’s 20 year involvement with the company, so they were gifted a $10,000 holiday package. “We appreciate our staff; we recognise our growth and are thankful to our loyal customers.”

A duck and dip kind of day for winter fest

Motueka/Golden Bay 03 528 2088

By Tim O’Connell While the rest of the South Island encountered rain, snow and pestilence it was typical Tasman sunshine at Kaiteriteri Beach on Sunday as hundreds descended on the shoreline for the Riwaka School Mid-Winter Festival.

Bands, performances and the standard array of hot and tasty food made for a welcome way to spend a winter morning, while children were entertained by bouncy castles, mini jeeps and trains as well as a big dig for

prizes around the golden sands.

The main attractions of the day were the mid-winter dip and the duck race, both of which drew plenty of entries from locals and out of towners keen to support Riwaka School.

Fairies, bumblebees and superheroes were among the costumes on display as the swimmers gathered for the former.

Jeanette Clark from Lower Moutere was found in pre-plunge contemplation of the icy fate that awaited her.

“Everyone has their bucket list

of things to do, and this is one of mine,” she said.

With the tide in for the 11am start of the dip there was a very short run from the shore to the ocean, leaving the hundred or so brave folk who entered little time to chicken out.

Admirably, a handful managed to remain in the water for an extended period of time to milk the moment, although it should be noted that most of these people were female.

For the rest however, the sequence of events once sub-

merged was akin to someone abruptly hitting the rewind button on a DVD. The duck race was a slightly more drawn out affair, yet attracted just as much interest as the earlier event, although it wasn’t long before the nature of inanimate object racing set in and a good portion of the entered ducks were soon bobbing listlessly in the lagoon, Speaking to the Guardian after an extremely successful day in the sun, Riwaka School Principal Fraser Campbell was ecstatic

with the public response to the event.

“There was just a real good buzz around the place and a real connection between the community and school,” he said.

Showing leadership and immense fortitude, Mr Campbell took to the water for the dip along with Deputy Principal Katherine Sefton, a feat which he says was “better than coffee”.

The Mid-Winter Festival raised close to $9000 for the school, a total which is believed to be up on previous years.

Richmond club is on winning end of Club Day Stu Reid It was a mostly successful Saturday for Richmond football teams, as they played fairly hard across all grades.

Although the Green Acres Richmond 13th Grade Heat suffered a 5-1 loss to Mapua, and The Car Company Richmond under-19 Glory went down 4-1 to FC Nelson, the other three Richmond Youth teams each had well deserved wins.

The Helen Ruston Mike Pero 14th Grade Red Devils beat their FC Nelson opponents with a fantastic win of 4-0.

Meanwhile, the Helen Ruston Mik Pero under-16 Development team took home their own well deserved win 5-3 against FC

Nelson.

The Point of Sale Company U16 Ninjas managed a 3-2 win over Nelson Suburbs Gunners.

In the afternoon on Saturday it was a huge club day at Jubilee Park, with seven senior matches being played across the four fields throughout the day.

The earlier games saw the Fresh Choice Richmond second division team going down 4-2 to a strong Motueka side.

The Richmond Hornbills second division team beat FC Nelson NMIT 3-2 in a tight game.

The Thompson Daly Chartered Accountants Thistle third division team held on to a narrow 2-1 win over Wakefield, with the Sprig and Fern Richmond Stags fourth division team

finishing with a 1-1 draw against Tahuna.

Further down the road at The Avery Park, the Tasman Auto Electric Richmond Bogans fourth division team had a comfortable 5-0 win over Motueka.

The Global Wings Travel Hornbills third team had the bye.

And in the 3pm games the About Beauty at Monaco Richmond Swans beat Nelson Suburbs 1-0, and the Hothouse Richmond Foxes drew 2-2 with FC Nelson, and the Fresh Choice Richmond first division team eventually went down 3-1 to FC Nelson.

First division coach Clay Wilhelmus said his team had a clear game plan to take on current league

leaders FC Nelson, who had thumped them 8-1 earlier in the season.

They were rewarded shortly into the second half when they went 1-0 up, with a fantastic finish from the young Lukas Knepper.

Unfortunately, with another couple of forced substitutions, through injury and illness, the home team just wasn’t able to keep up.

The fast-paced FC team grew in strength through the second spell and Richmond eventually conceded three goals.

However first division coach Clay Wilhelmus was still happy with his young team’s efforts, and said that he is really enjoying seeing their growth in confidence and skill improve with each game they played this Adam Stack from the Fresh Choice Richmond 1st team season. fends off his FC Nelson opponent on Saturday.

Nelson dominate derby to go top of the table Jonty Dine Connor Wilkins says he was a barrel of nerves as he took the field to replace injured Nelson College first five Niko Barton, only one minute into their match against Waimea Combined on Saturday.

However, Connor soon settled into his rhythm and amassed a whopping 35 points as a clinical Nelson hammered Waimea in the UC Championship.

He says, despite the spanner that was Barton’s injury, the side stuck to its plan and reaped the rewards.

“We came out and scored some good tries.”

With captain Anton Segnar returning to the openside, College were all class at Sports Park in Motueka and ran riot over their neighbours with some scintillating attack to rack up 90 points in a ruthless display.

The floodgates didn’t take long to open as Nelson raced out to a 12-0 lead with two quick tries to Taya Brown and Ben Faingaanuku.

Moments later, a heavilystrapped Segnar made his presence felt with a trademark pilfer to set up his own try after a superb offload by Brown.

Waimea eventually were able to mount some attack as Mackay Springer went in under the bar, but Nelson responded immediately as its offload game began to overwhelm

Waimea.

Nelson were gaining metres at will and Tom Thornally stretched the lead further with a typically powerful surge.

Waimea began falling off numerous first-up tackles, creating space for Wilkins to cross for a sixth try.

Nelson’s dominance could not be halted, and Brown stormed his way over for a second time as Nelson took a 45-7 half-time lead.

The try came at a cost for Nelson however as Luca Inch was assisted from the field with a serious-looking leg injury.

Signs didn’t look any better for Waimea after a clearing kick went out on the full to put Nelson right back on attack.

Segnar strolled through some feeble defence to bring up the half century for Nelson.

Another devastating break by the inspirational skipper saw Nelson waltz back into Waimea territory, and Brown was in for his third of the day.

With the result assured, coach Warren Johnson took the opportunity to blood some new combinations, with halfback Mason Lund getting a chance to run the ship from first five as the diminutive Justin Yokohama was introduced. The Japanese scrum half showcased his skills and produced a magical offload leading to replacement prop Jontee Taylor’s try.

Final score: 90 - 12

Connor Wilkins scored 35 points as Nelson College ran in 14 tries in a devastating display of running rugby in Motueka on Saturday.

Nelson Matters

Education is one of my strongest passions. It defines the sort of future our community and country will have. It is about giving every child growing up in Nelson the best possible start in life.

I am very proud of Nelson’s network of 30 schools and colleges.

They are well led by capable principals and skilled teachers. I am particularly appreciative of our volunteer Boards of Trustee currently going through elections who give so much to ensure our schools are well governed. My job in Parliament is to ensure schools get a fair allocation of resources from Government to support their work.

My major concern is that school

funding changes announced in last week’s Budget are going to create unfairness for Nelson schools and families. Labour is in real trouble in education because it way overpromised in Opposition and has run out of money.

This has been the root cause of the massive teacher strikes that have caused the worst ever disruption in our schools. In Opposition they told workers like teachers that they were underpaid by 20%, but now in Government are refusing pay claims that are half of this. This is just one of 57 Labour’s education promises that have not been delivered (see www.laboursreportcard. co.nz)

This money problem has seen Labour scale back its promise to end school donations. The original policy was that all schools would receive an extra payment of $150 per pupil provided they seek no donations from parents. The policy now applies only to schools in ‘deciles’ one to seven. It means a third of the Nelson schools will miss out.

Next year Waimea College will miss out on $250,000, Waimea Intermediate $97,000, Garin College $77,000, Henley School $73,000, St Josephs (Nelson) $54,000, Brightwater $46,000, Clifton Terrace (Atawhai) $43,000, St Pauls (Richmond) $40,000, Ranzau $23,000,

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

Appleby $19,000, Hira $13,000 and Hope $11,000. These are big sums for parents to make up.

These schools are understandably angry. It will create a two tier school system in Nelson where a third of our schools will require significant contributions from parents.

The line between which schools get this extra and those who don’t, depends on decile ratings. These are outdated and unreliable. National’s policy was to ditch the decile ranking of schools with a model focussed on pupil’s needs.

Even the Education Review Office no longer uses deciles. The system wrongly assumes schools in better

off areas do not have any disadvantaged families.

The flaw in the policy is highlighted by Waimea College (Decile 8) now getting $250,000 less in Government funding as compared to Nayland College (Decile 6), Nelson College (Decile 7) or Nelson College for Girls (Decile 7). I am personally advantaged as a parent of the last two colleges, but see it as very unfair for Waimea families.

These 12 school communities should not be discriminated against in this way. I will be doing all I can to ensure the Government does what it promised and provides fair funding to all of our schools. Advt.

Maddison Springer defending shot of Amy Berkett as Richmond F45 hold on to win against Waimea College.

Richmond F45 outlast Waimea College for netball win Kathleen Thornalley Richmond F45 were lucky to hold on for the win 46-41 against Waimea College last Thursday.

Both teams started out of the gates going goal-for-goal in the first 10 minutes.

Waimea worked hard and kept Richmond on their toes, with Keeley Brown directing her charges from both ends of the court and earning a lead 14-10.

Richmond looked complacent in the opening minutes of the second quarter and under- estimated the intensity of Waimea College’s shooting duo, who found their range and composure unlike Richmond’s shooting end who failed to put together a tidy quarter, lacking connection and commitment.

With a few timely defensive intercepts from Amy Cunningham, Richmond pushed ahead with a surge of ball possession to jump out to a 25-22 advantage.

Richmond made some major changes to most of the team for the third quarter.

Limited bench option, due to player illness and injuries, saw Kat Jones go back into her threating position of goal defence, joining Jasmin Teece at goal keep.

These changes paid dividends with Richmond’s defence shutting down Waimea College’s attacking circle.

Maddison Springer moved into a feeding role at wing attack where she was able to find some beautiful space to help reignite her shooters to finish off a strong quarter up 39-30.

Richmond will be disappointed not to have put their foot down going into the last quarter with several unforced errors seeing Waimea College gain control and capitalise on effective team play, outscoring Richmond F45 11-7 in the last quarter to gain a valuable bonus point.

Richmond will need to reflect how their lack of connection, commitment and intensity did them no favour, and look to regather for tomorrow’s game against Motueka High School.

Green Machine reigns supreme Jonty Dine

It took 180 minutes to separate the sides, but Marist eventually prevailed to claim the Tasman Trophy following a dramatic final with Waimea Old Boys on Saturday.

The scoreboard at Trafalgar Park read 29-all at full-time as Waimea first five Campbell Parata slotted a clutch penalty to send the sides into extra time.

It took a further 18 minutes before Marist skipper James Hawkey put his side in front.

This ultimately proved enough as the team held on for a famous victory.

James was at a loss for words following the final whistle.

“I’m just so relieved, I can’t believe we came out and did it.

Faith was there and it’s a bloody good feeling.”

James says he kept the message simple as the clock ticked past eighty.

“Be patient, be positive and keep playing.”

Coach Gavin Briggs says his heart was feeling it after the thrilling win.

“My ticker is getting too old as it is, but the guys showed a lot of character to play through that extra 20 minutes.”

Gavin says there was a key factor they had prepared for during the week.

“Pressure, we knew it was going to happen, but to that extent?”

The former Nelson Bays prop says Waimea would have been worthy winners and gave his men one hell of a fight.

“There were two very good sides out there. It’s unfortunate that there had to be a runner- up but

I’m just really proud and stoked for our guys.

“We are going to enjoy a few drinks on this one.”

The competition’s top try scorer ,halfback Cleve Barrell, again played an integral role for Marist.

His brace of tries in the final took his season tally to 12.

The 22-year-old says it was an unbelievable feeling to finally get across the line in a final.

“To lose in both last year and finally come through this year, it means so much especially with this group of lads, it really is special.”

Cleve was quick to credit his

teammates for his try-scoring feats this season.

“It just makes it so much easier for me to play behind a pack going forward.”

He says he simply finished off what his team started.

“The whole team takes credit for those.”

A group of runners out on the cross country course at Saxton Fields.

Wallace Shield competitors eye final race Yvonne West Conditions are usually tough in cross country events, but the strong southerly wind added another challenge to the second of the Wallace Shield races held at Saxton Fields on Saturday.

The 5km course for the runners took them through the trees by the athletics track, a circuit around the league field, a loop around the back of the velodrome and return.

The walkers led out the same way, but after the league field circuit came directly back to complete a 3.4km course.

Chris Sharland, a strong crosscountry runner, was the clear winner in a quick time of 18min 30sec, with Angela Leck taking

out the women’s race in an impressive time of 20min 27sec.

Daryl Nish walked strongly over the shorter course to finish in 21min 18 sec just eight seconds ahead of Peter Hague.

Elaine Llewellin was the first women walker home in 26min 07sec.

Competitors are awarded points over each of the three races according to their finishing position.

Currently, Dan Bullock, with 18 points, is in the lead. Don Wardle and Rob Lieffering share second place with 23 points each.

Stu Cottam is in fourth with 27 points.

The overall winner will be decided at the final Wallace Shield race at Rabbit Island on June 29.

Wanderers Sports Club Report Wanderers’ women stand tall in rugby draw Women’s Rugby came of age at Brightwater on Saturday in a totally entertaining and highly competitive game between the 2018 Tasman champions Moutere and the hosts Taylors Wanderers.

Although Wanderers started the match as clear underdogs, at the final whistle the teams were locked together at 32-32.

It was the first time in three years that Moutere had not prevailed over their opposition, being undefeated in that time.

Last year the gap between the two teams was 96 points, the development and progress of women’s rugby at Wanderers is evident to all.

Credit must go to the coaching and management staff, Ian Biggs, Wayne Bateman, Sam Burling and Ricky Leef, and all the team members who worked together to improve the performance.

Playing on the main ground at Centennial Park as curtain-raiser to the division one team, the women provided a stirring contest which produced 10 tries in total, some wonderfully inventive backline play as well as numerous courageous tackles from both sides.

The game commenced in the manner that Moutere would have expected with the first two tries to the visitors, before Wanderers muscled over from close range to trail 5-10.

Moutere scored again before Wanderers responded to take a surprise 17-15 lead.

They extended that lead further to 24-15 before Moutere came storming back, and it was left to Shakia-Lee Biggs to kick a penalty goal at the end to tie the scores.

Poised, ready to pounce, Wanderers Alisi Seigafo, Gina Healey and Katie Silcock. Photo: Supplied.

Coach Biggs said it was difficult to pinpoint outstanding individual performances as the team had gelled well and undertook the duties that they had trained hard for during the week.

He did identify Katie Silcock’s performance in her final game before surgery, as well as the other scorers; Shakia-Lee with a try, 2 conversions and the vital penalty, along with Sakia Roeske, Alisi Seigafo and Amelia Hammett who all scored tries.

The Taylors Wanderers division two team,, who were unbeaten prior to Saturday, lost their perfect record on the road to Riwaka, 36-10.

Although bitterly disappointed by the error rate incurred in the match, coaches Steve Leef and Grant Blanchet had nothing but praise for the players who made the journey, with four required to return immediately following the game to stand by for the division

one team which has been ravaged by unavailablities these past three weeks.

With four players electing to play in the New Zealand Heartland Championship and with a freakish run of injuries that necessitated both Taylors Wanderers teams commencing with only 16 players, this clearly affected the confidence of the players.

At Riwaka the first half was an even contest, remaining scoreless for 30 minutes before the host team capitalised on a couple of Wanderers errors at the end of the half to take a 14-0 lead into the break.

Wanderers had scrambled well on defence and created a couple of opportunities themselves but were unable to nail either of them.

However, the team talk was positive and the visitors, although scoring two tries through the workhorse Sean King and im-

pressive wing Josh Kelly, continued to make unforced errors and Riwaka were organised well and competent enough to capitalize and take a deserved victory in the end.

Wanderers best players were Theo Moore and Shaun Whitaker .

The division one team started the match against Stoke at Centennial Park with eight players in their first year in the premier club team, and supported by the four players who travelled back from Riwaka, which, although clearly disruptive and far from ideal, was a positive message sent by all involved and worthy of respect and acknowledgement in these days of lessened club loyalty at this “Grassroots” level.

The game started as an even contest and when Stoke scored after 15 minutes Wanderers were competing although unable to dominate in any form, however the set plays were much improved on

last week against Marist and it felt like a score would give confidence to the team and allow some continuity and pressure to build.

Unfortunately, Stoke scored again and at halftime with the score at 19-0.

Wanderers supporters were hoping for a similar come-back as occurred in the first round game at Stoke, but clearly the resolve of Stoke on Saturday was much stronger and they continued to add to their score although Wanderers did continue also to compete, albeit often individually.

The comeback from Greenmeadows was just a distant memory as the final score arrived at 38-7, fully deserved by Stoke who just keep coming all day and obviously all agreed on the game plan and followed it to the letter.

Taylors Wanderers coach, Glenn Grant, while lamenting the defensive frailties of his charges, paid credit to Stoke for the continued pressure that they applied and agreed that it was a performance that had been coming from the visitors, unfortunately it arrived on Saturday.

Best performers for Wanderers were Tyler Chamberlain, Tone Vaka and Josh Post, who all contributed manfully throughout, assisted by captain Fletcher Matthews and Will Hamilton who never took a backward step.

Volunteer of the week was Rangi Rogers from the under-6 team who received a Fuel Voucher supplied by Southfuels Spring Grove.

Next week the women will travel to Motueka expecting to build on the fine performance again, and the division one team will host Marist at Centennial Park with a 3pm kick off.
