Age-old record pipped Emily Beaumont It was just a mere 13 hundredth’s of a second that broke Murchison Area School’s longest standing record at the school’s swimming sports on Tuesday, March 6. Sixteen-year-old student Matua Wilson glided through the water in the same pool where 48 years earlier Colin Gill set the record

for the 100m freestyle senior boys race, achieving a finish of 1.10.60. Set in 1970 the record became a legend of the school as the years sailed by without it being broken. After breaking a record as a year8 student, Matua’s father told him to set his sights on Colin’s record. “I didn’t think I had a chance, just knowing it was so old,” says Matua. “I was so stoked to beat it,

having heard of the record, but I never thought I’d get close.” Colin laughed off suggestions of a rematch and says, while proud to have held the record for such a long time, he was pleased to see it broken. “It took a while, didn’t it? I was absolutely pleased to hear the news, I sent through my congratulations,” says Colin. “With the

way things advance these days I thought it would have been skittled before now.” Matua says the record was far from his mind while racing, instead he was focused on beating the person beside him. “I knew I was doing well, I was just trying to swim as fast as I could, I had no idea I was even going for the record,” he says.

Receiving congratulations from local townsfolk, students, and even his North Island-based grandmother within hours of the record-breaking race, Matua says his sporting focus is now on the upcoming rugby season. But next year you can expect him back in the pool where he’s determined to “beat it by a bit more than 13 hundredth’s of a second”.

Amy Russ Sheree Larking, Richmond “The police use their initiative at the time of the day, at five in the morning I would’ve thought it would be safe. You wouldn’t do it during peak traffic, would you.”

David Palmer, Stoke “It would be a tough call, it depends what it is for. The cops are the only ones that know on the day, aren’t they.”

Winnie Whitley, Nelson Lakes District “If they can user stingers more, they are great. They are used all the time in the UK, and they should use them more here.”

Tony Marriot, Richmond “It’s a hard judgement, I feel sorry for the police having to take responsibility, they’ve got a job to do, haven’t they.”

Pursuit results in triple tragedy Emily Beaumont Carmen Yanko didn’t stand a chance. She wouldn’t have even had time to brace for impact, when a car driven by two known criminals appeared over the brow of a hill on her side of the road, slamming into her head-on as they fled police. Carmen, the 53-year mother of five, at 5.40am was on her way to the Sunday, March 11 markets, no doubt loaded with the antiques and collectables necessary to ply her trade. Driver Johnathan Tairakena, 25, and Phillip Stretch, 33, ignored police signals to pull over on Gladstone Rd, instead flooring it and leading police on a 6km chase that ended in their deaths and the tragic death of innocent motorist, Carmen, on State Highway 6 near Hope. “An outcome like this is the last thing police want to see,” says Superintendent Mike Johnson, Tasman District

Nationwide, more than five people have been killed on average annually since 2004 dur-

ginning

ing police pursuits, and one-in-five police pursuits ends in crashes. Superintendent Mike Johnson says a Serious Crash Unit investigation is underway and there will be an internal investigation regarding the pursuit. The deadly car chase has reignited the debate surrounding police’s pursuit protocol and The Automobile Association (AA) is calling for an outright ban. Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says he’s concerned about the high number of deaths and injuries on the road, regardless of the cause. “After an event like this we need to focus on the solutions, as I’m sure the police are doing. We all play a role in this – if you’re asked to stop by the police, please do. It’s about keeping everyone safe. It is up to us as family and friends to ensure people do stop and not put at risk their friends, family and people they have never met.”

Monday March 12 kicked off the ‘Accessibility for All’ forum on Active Transport. The objective of the forum was to ensure public facilities and activities are inclusive for all members of the community, promote the benefits and advocate for needs of accessibility at private facilities and activities and be community led, but council resourced and managed. International guest speaker Dr Rodney Tolley did a presentation, followed by a panel discussion with key panel mem-

bers about the benefits and challenges for active transport in this region. The forum took place at The Elm Room in the Headingly Lane Centre. Nominated in 2009 as one of the top 50 of the world’s sustainable transport ‘heroes’, Rodney Tolley has been involved in the field of active, sustainable transport for over 40 years. “The evidence is now overwhelming,” says Dr Tolley, “that the most liveable, healthy, creative and economically successful cities are the ones where the active transport is being promoted.”

Also on the panel were Andrew Lindsey the Medical Officer of Health for Nelson Marlborough District Health Board, Mark Rawson the Chief Executive for Nelson Regional Development Agency, Nelson City Councillor Mike Rutledge, Amanda Stevens the Executive Officer for Deafblind Association of New Zealand and Dana Wensley, councillor for Tasman District Council. Dana Wensley says, “This was a public workshop and a chance for both individuals and organisations to hear from Dr Rodney Tolley about the benefits of being active.”

Mudslinging is all part of the fun! Amy Russ Mud, sweat and tears...of laughter...are all part of the day’s agenda for the participants of this year’s Sport Tasman Muddy Buddy fun run. For the past 9 years Tasman School has been hosting the event as their main fundraiser. Funds raised will help support the completion of their new swimming pool project, with the remainder supporting a vision to enhance the outdoor spaces for the students. “The Muddy Buddy event has been well supported over the years by members of the wider community,” says Rob Boomer, principal of Tasman School, “we are always appreciative of the huge support we receive from local businesses, who support the organisation of the event and the provision of spot prizes for the participants.” With the $16,000 raised from last year’s event, which attracted around 1000 competitors, the first stage of fund-raising for

Brightwater fire brigade giving back Amy Russ Ten years ago the Brightwater Fire Brigade were overwhelmed by how the community came together in response for the brigade’s need to fundraise for a new fire truck. Last week they were able to give a donation of their own. On Friday March 9, Steve Foote, deputy volunteer firefighter for the Brightwater Fire Brigade, presented the principal of Brightwater School, Gerald Baldwin, with a cheque of $4000. The very truck that the firefighters had fund-raised so hard for all those years ago, had finally given up the ghost and was deemed irreparable. They were given the go ahead to sell it off and wound up getting more than

what they originally thought. The opportunity to give back to the community was too good to pass up, so the decision was made to make a donation to Brightwater School. Gerald says it’s a great community contribution for the school and that it all really helps. The old school playground was due for revamping and the new one was completed in February this year, with not just the school’s growth in mind but the community’s as well. “We thought, what better way to give back. The schools are absolutely pivotal in our community, not just for current students, but for past members as well,” says Steve, “we knew that they were building their new playground and these things cost a lot of money, so it was perfect.”

As long-time members of the Ornithological Society, Willie Cook and Don Cooper have always been inspired to protect threatened native marine bird life. The Society is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the study of birds and their habitats in New Zealand. Back in 2005, Willie and Don conducted a survey of Banded Rail and Marsh Crake marine birds on the estuary and were dismayed to find a mere four footprints. Approaching local businesses with the aim of having more people on board to assist with trapping the birds’ predators, the pair soon realised it would be up them. “They were all too busy so we thought we should do something ourselves. We realised if we don’t do it, they’ll become locally extinct,” says Willie. Armed with donated traps, they set about spreading them out over the years. Targeting from Pearl Creek to Dominion Rd, traps were laid in areas where footprints of either birds or predators were found. “The thing that really pleased us was, years later doing another survey on bird prints, we found a lot more so that kept us going,” says Willie. It’s this dedication that has resulted in the pairs’ successful nomination for this month’s Stihl Shop Richmond Good Sorts award. Tasman District Council’s Biosecurity Officer, Robin van Zoelen, nominated the pair and says they were the early conservation pioneers for estuary bird life. “We were very pleased with our trapping efforts. It was excellent really, the results were quite significant,” says Don. Do you know any Good Sorts from the Waimea Weekly distribution area who deserve a $100 Stihl Shop Richmond voucher?

Settler’s family to commemorate Emily Beaumont More than 70 descendants of the Webby’s, one of Nelson’s first settler families, will gather in the region this weekend for a family reunion. Edward Webby and his wife Mary (nee Pike) arrived, respectively, in 1841 on the Whitby and 1842 on board the Lloyds, from their native Somerset in England. A variety of activities is scheduled for the family members attending from the United States of America, Australia and the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Representatives from most of the 11 families that have descended from Edward and Mary will visit places of special interest and association with the settlers during the weekend. “We will have a walk around Wakefield which leads to 88 Valley where the family initially settled, then visit Beacon Hill which was owned by Edward Webby before he sold it to Major Robert Paton,” says family spokesperson Jacquie Webby. In June last year, Jacquie’s compilation of the Webby’s family history was completed as a formal publication. The history of the Webby family is

They were successful farmers, attended 88 Valley (Koreke) School, built roads, ran businesses including taxis, served on local bodies, did road marking and operated harvesting and threshing equipment. The reunion programme includes

the unveiling of Edward and Mary’s headstones at Richmond cemetery and the official opening of Richmond road, Webby Way, named to commemorate the settler family. The road is named after George Edward Webby, grandson of Ed-

ward and Mary, and acknowledges his contribution to the district where he worked as an agricultural contractor. His machinery fleet, which included a Fowler traction engine imported from England, was a familiar sight around the district in the early

1900’s. George and his brother Carlos had a narrow escape when the Webby traction engine famously fell through a bridge at Smith’s Creek. “In building for the new Richmond, we have taken pains with the assistance of local families and the local historical society to remember where we have come from,” says Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne. “Our continued growth and importance as a provincial centre is directly attributed to the decisions and hard work our early settlers undertook as they strived to build a future for their families and the fledgling communities around them. As such, it is entirely appropriate they are remembered for their contribution.” Jacqui says the opening of Webby Way will be a weekend’s highlight and the family is appreciative of the Tasman District Council acknowledging George Webby’s contribution to the district. The reunion will conclude on Sunday with a visit to the Early Settlers Wall and statue, followed by afternoon tea at The Styx restaurant overlooking Nelson Harbour, where Edward and Mary landed after their long journey from England all those years ago.

Do you need skills and qualifications for the industry that is in high demand in Nelson? Ivan Stevens, local pilot and sign’s sponsor, checks out the freshly-erected sign. Photo: Emily Beaumont.

No more guessing games for cyclists Emily Beaumont A cyclist’s curiosity has resulted in the assembly of a permanent sign on the Great Taste Trail. Near the Waimea River suspension bridge looms a large concrete structure that, while some may have just wheeled on by without so much as a sideways glance, others have

been intrigued. Local cyclist Pete Laing was so curious he was determined to uncover the building’s history. Built in 1976 to house an aeronautical radio beacon that transmitted compass direction and distance information, it was required by pilots for navigation when the area was shrouded in cloud or darkness.

Most often located at airports, the beacons were commonly used nationwide, but with Nelson’s proximity to the hills rendering a beacon’s coverage inadequate it was shifted to the structure now flanked by the cycle trail. When technology advanced in the nineties the beacon was relocated to the airport, rendering the building de-

funct. “Often people who are using the cycle trail are visitors to the area and, as it’s a fairly strange building, often while I was biking along here I would see people puzzled by it. Having this sign now lets people understand why the building’s here,” says Ivan Stevens, sign’s sponsor and local pilot.

The Passport to Richmond promotion runs from March 19 through to May 6. Passports can be collected from the Richmond Mall information desk, where you can then go on to collect your stamps as you shop your way around the Richmond central business district. Participating stores are all based inside the Richmond CBD ring road, so a huge range of stores to choose from and goods to purchase are available.

On offer are some amazing prizes with the biggest being a seven day campervan hire, with a full tank of gas and $200 of groceries included. Seven other great prizes, all from Richmond retailers, are also up for grabs, all relating to the great outdoors. Prizes will be announced through the Richmond Unlimited Facebook page. There is no spending minimum for purchases, but you do have to buy something, the stamps are issued per transaction at the stores. “We wanted to make it more achievable,” says Charlotte Bidlake from Richmond Unlimited. “The aim of the promotion is to get people to try new places that they may not normally shop at.” For more information on how to be in to win, visit www.richmondunlimited.co.nz or find them on Facebook @LoveRichmondNZ

For more than a decade a dedicated group of volunteers has been behind the wheel of Richmond’s Community Patrol. No longer behind the wheel of an impractical 3-door Honda HRV, the team is excited to reveal their new 2015 Toyota RAV4 thanks to a group of generous sponsors. Equipped with police radios, the two-man team on patrol assist the police as extra eyes and ears. Their support has been invaluable during the past few weeks as cyclones bore down on the region. “With the recent weather events, we’ve worked alongside police to help secure areas and close off streets,” says chairperson Marty Price. Marty and previous chairperson Mike Gill cofounded the patrol. Both men have been instrumental in the securing of the new patrol car. Witnessing numerous incidents during his tenure, including a stabbing in Richmond that had Community Patrol testifying in court, he says they’ve also played a role in “finding a lot of stolen cars”. “We basically check for troublemakers, any vandalism going on and find dumped cars. We also try to mentor any young people we interact with who may be heading down the wrong path, and look out for people who are wandering the streets intoxicated. During the Christmas and holiday period we keep an eye on carparks and look out for animals or children left in cars,” says Marty. Averaging 12,000km each year, the patrollers are grateful to several generous sponsors, some of whom have been with them from the beginning, and have enabled the vehicle upgrade, including Richmond Mall and Richmond Rotary and the exceptional generosity of Tony Bowater at Bowater Toyota for what was essentially a generous discount.

Takaka Hill highway could be open to truck and trailer units in as little as two weeks time. Although there is no confirmed date at this stage, repair work on State Highway 60 has gone well in recent days and Frank Porter, New Zealand Transport Agency Systems Manager, is optimistic. “Crews have been making good progress clearing the road, making it safer and more resilient, which will enable truck and trailer units to make the journey soon,” says Frank, “thanks to everyone for being patient while we work to get Takaka Hill repaired and safe for everyone to use again.” The same open hours con-

tinue this week, Monday to Saturday 7am-8am and 5pm6pm with Sundays open from 8am through to 5pm. To allow more traffic to travel over the hill, the transport Agency is aiming to offer extended open hours in coming days i.e. earlier in the morning and later in the evenings. Over the Easter period, the road will be open 8am to 5pm from Good Friday through to Easter Monday so that people can travel to and from Golden Bay without having to rush. Frank Porter wants to reiterate the need for people to take care once they are beyond Takaka Hill, and not speed to make up time. “We have had reports from our crews that some people are not driving to the speed limits once they are

over the hill,” he says, “please get home safe, and drive to the conditions.” The key traffic and travel source which provides up-todate information on weather and road conditions is www. nzta.govt.nz/traffic How to stay up to date: • Ring 0800 482 525 for Takaka hill access or email takakahill@nzta.govt.nz • www.facebook.com/ nztasouthisland • Tasman District Councils Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ TasmanDistrictCouncil/ • Transport Agency Twitter page Top of the Southtwitter.com/nztatots

A half-century span between a Nelson grandfather and his Richmond-based grandson didn’t stop the pair from being a formidable force at the annual Nelson Bowls Centre championships at the end of February. Brett Allan, 30, suggested to his grandfather, Martin Thompson, 80, that the pair team up for the championships junior pairs competition. “My grandson said, ‘Pop this is my last year as a junior and I want to play with you’. He wanted the glory of playing with his grandfather for his last year as a junior,” says Martin. Up against “tough competition” the duo narrowly won the title, uniquely taking the championship as a grandfather, grandson pairing. Richmond Bowling club’s Gavin Sparks says during his 45-year bowling career he has never witnessed such an “unusual” pairing for a competition. Brett, having now served five years in the sport, is no longer eligible to compete as a junior but Martin, who started just three years ago with the Richmond Bowling Club, says he’ll be back to defend the title once he sources another team member.

Just a thought... Rev. Martin Sungchel Oh Richmond-Stoke Methodist Parish

Brett Allan and his grandfather Martin Thompson proudly display their winning trophy. Photo: Supplied. The potential team member will have impossible shoes to fill, the special moment of Brett and Martin’s win will be indelibly etched in both their memories for a long while yet.

“It was great, such a very special moment. I just wanted to enjoy it and do as well as we could. But to win was pretty memorable, it was something I’ll never forget,” says Brett.

“What kind of God do you believe in?” - A few years ago during an afterschool care programme at our Church, I was asked this question by a little girl. I was so shocked and impressed when she asked me this. What kind of answer would you give if you were asked the same question? In the Bible, God is attributed with different names, meanings, and characters. But this variation can be confusing. For example, back in the ancient times, wars were very common. During these wars, many people prayed for God to destroy their enemies. They believed in a violent and destructive image of God. Throughout the Church history, people justified themselves and declared certain acts under the “name of God”. But many Christians slowly started to realise many of these acts or beliefs were wrong. Unfortunately, this is still happening in some parts of our world today. When people think of God as a judgmental figure, as a God who destroys enemies, how is it possible at all to keep the peace? As Christians, we

should strive for peace. For me, God is about peace. I’ve been living in New Zealand for over twenty years, but as a South Korean-born immigrant, I pray for peace to be attained between South and North Korea. I do not pray for war with North Korea. So how is this relevant to you if you don’t believe in God at all? Well everyone has moments when life is goes downhill. We all have moments when we lose our peace. Everyone becomes angry at some point in their lives. When things get out of control, or when we can’t manage the stress, life can become very destructive. So what is your way of keeping your mind at peace? What advice do you give to your friends and family? If you are seeking peace, where do you find it? For me, the answer is always God. God is our peace. Therefore, when we place God as the centre of our daily life, we are surrounded by peace. But that doesn’t mean life is always at peace. No-one lives a perfect life! It means that even when life takes an unexpected turn or when we are struggling with life, God will guide us back towards peace again.

Forging a new career Judene Edgar

Dating back to the Iron Age, blacksmithing has a long and varied history, but is alive and well at Higgins Heritage Park in Wakefield. The traditional role of the town blacksmith was quite diverse – often he was the local toolmaker and “mechanic”, but might also be called upon to act as dentist, doctor, undertaker, vet or horse-dealer. The ‘black’ in blacksmith refers to the black fire scale, and ‘smith’ from the Proto-German ‘smithaz’, meaning skilled worker. While it was this skill that frequently saw the blacksmith hold important offices such as the town magistrate, in the middle ages some villages banned blacksmithing, with anyone caught practicing it put to death. Wakefield’s Simon Whittaker is neither the town magistrate nor risks being put to death, but he is the town blacksmith. Initially starting as a hobby, the joiner and carpenter runs ‘Make a Knife’, so people can come along and hand-forge their own knives. “I made my first knife at scouts, which was a long time ago,” Simon muses. Ideally located at Higgins Heritage Park, Simon runs all-day workshops for locals and tourists keen to give the ancient tradition of blacksmithing a try. “I like the idea of people being able to

do what they want to do,” he says. “I haven’t had anyone who hasn’t been able to do it and no complete disasters.” From a red-hot piece of steel to a shiny new blade, not only do visitors get to decide the shape and style of their knife, but they can also choose their handle style, from leather to handcrafted wood. Visitors get to heat the steel, hitting it into shape with a hammer and anvil, and then creating and shaping the handle. “I use spring steel as it’s an old type of steel that tempers quickly,” Simon says. “The forge gets to over 1000 degrees, but we want to keep the steel beneath that otherwise it will melt if you don’t keep an eye on it.” German tourist Felix Struengmann visited Make a Knife with his sister while in Nelson for a week’s holiday recently. A large part of the attraction for Felix was that it “looked really different”. “It was the perfect thing to do. It’s a lot of fun,” he says. “I’ve made a nice cutting knife.” Open for anyone over 13 years of age, Simon says that a lot of different people have come along, particularly hunters and chefs, although “a brain surgeon sticks out”. “We’ve had some pretty amazing knives.” “You can’t have too many knives”, he says with a wry smile.

Rifle range to host open day Emily Beaumont The smell of gunpowder will linger as the satisfaction of hitting the target sinks in. Enjoying this while expertly encouraged by seasoned shooters is an experience open to all at Target Shooting Nelson Association’s friendly home range at Saxton Field on Saturday, March 24. The umbrella association for the five clubs of Wakefield, Richmond, Wood, Tasman and Defence is looking forward to their inaugural “Have a Go” day hosted on the range, renowned as one of the best in New Zealand. Two significant competitions are to be held at the range this shooting season, with members of the association representing New Zealand at Olympic and Common-

wealth Games in the past. Promotions committee member, Gina Grimwood, says the event has been organised to promote the sport that the whole family can enjoy. “We want to get as many people as we can down here and expose them to the sport. It’s such a great family sport. Children and grand-parents can take part together,” says Gina. The cost is just $5 per person and includes gear, coaching, equipment and ammunition. Under-16 years are required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Put the day firmly in your sights, head down to the range and experience a sport that develops focus and dedication. Anybody from 13-113 years is welcome to shoot, including those with physical disabilities.

Practical sheddies help build community Judene Edgar For the men at the Tapawera Menz Shed, having a “smoko break” isn’t just about having a biscuit or a cuppa, instead it’s a valuable time to discuss project ideas. “Someone in the group usually brings suggestions at smoko time,” says Menz Shed secretary Roger Bowman. Sure enough, Menz Shed member Stuart Bryant, who is also on the Rotoiti District Community Council, thought that the group might be able to build two large wooden picnic tables for the Lake Rotoiti Hall. Committee member Richard Thoms says that with the alternative State Highway running through the village of Rotoiti, they had identified the need for “a few picnic tables for travellers to take ten”. “I think all of our members serve on other committees which keeps them connected,” says Roger. “The project was discussed during shed smoko, and it just sort of grew from there.”

Made from treated pine background so they’ll tackle most high standard, and by a profes-

Founded in 2012, the Menz Shed bought the old Scout Hall on the Domain in 2014, where they meet every Saturday morning. In addition to supporting the Rotoiti District Community Council, they’ve also water-blasted and stained the Toy Library, put crosses on unmarked graves at the St George’s Church, constructed building tables for Tapawera Area School, and helped with the restoration of an old, World War One army hut. “Most of our guys are still farming, fencing, you name it, so Saturdays are best,” says Roger. “Although we might do a bit extra during the week when working on a project.” Roger says that they’re always keen and happy to welcome new members. If anyone is interested, contact Roger at menzshedtapawera@ gmail.com or pop along on a Saturday from 10am.

Z Stations are committed to giving back to local neighbourhoods by supporting the things that matter locally and making a positive contribution through their Good in the Hood campaign. Each year every Z Station nationwide gives away $5000 to neighbourhood groups that help people who need it, giving away more than $1 million across the country to do Good in the Hood. Z’s people on the ground choose the groups they’d like to

get behind. Site teams look for groups that help people or the environment, have local representation and provide direct support in the neighbourhood around the Z station or have a request that fulfills a specific local need. In April, Z Richmond will announce the successful groups and during May their customers will be given an orange token to vote for one of the four groups at the station. “Customers love it. You see a lot of them giving it good thought to where they’ll place their token,” says Nigel Andrews, Z

Retailer. With $4,000 divided among the four successful groups according to the customer votes they receive, a further $1000 is given out during the year at the station’s discretion. “It’s tough because there’s so many organisations doing so much great work, so it’s a shame to not be able to help them all,” says Nigel. The team is currently wading through the numerous applications received and is looking forward to announcing the successful organisations on Monday, March 19.

Some things are just better together

For the first time in over a decade the athletics sports at Tapawera had to be postponed to an unusual Monday. The competition began with a round of field events before the track started with the 400m heats. The early leaders of the house competition were the red of Baton, and they would continue to stretch their lead as the day progressed. In the individual competition, a number of athletes showed promise. These new levels of performance now belong to Asher Beganio who broke the U12 Shot put record set in 2006 by Kevin Freeman. His new standard of 9.39m an improvement of 60cm. Sarah Jones who threw the javelin 16.30m beat Hannah Taylor’s record set in 2005. During the previous week, Cici Coles had broken her own U14 3000m record with a time of 13.01mins. And then produced a fine performance in the 1500m with a time of 5.47mins breaking the record that had been set by Dana Wilson in 2000. On March 14 a number of students will represent Tapawera Area School at the regional athletics championships. These students will be Mariah Goldsworthy, Cici Coles, Tom Haunch, Matua Carleton-Heta and Jesse Hook in the U14 age group and Grace Mytton in the U15 Discus and Shot Put. “I was really proud to have broken two school athletics records. The 1500 metres record has stood for 18 years so it was amazing to break that,” says Cici Coles, “last year I broke the 3000 metres by 13 secs, it was amazing to realize that I broke it again in the same age group by 13 seconds for the second year in a row.” Asher Beganio also broke a record in the boys shot put, “I felt pretty excited when I heard that a record had been smashed. Mum and Dad were also pleased to hear about my success as well.”

Triple success for Wakefield women The Wakefield Bowling Club women’s triples team of Margaret Eames, Linda Sisterson and Diane Holland, having previously won the Nelson Centre Triples, has now won the upper South Island’s regional play-off in Greymouth on Sunday, March 11 to qualify for April’s National finals in Auckland. It came down to a best of three games final against the West Coast champion team of Pip Holmwood from Cobden Bowling Club.

Wakefield won the first two games. The first game was a comfortable win for Wakefield, 23 points to 15. The second game was closer over the early ends with Wakefield gradually stretching ahead. On the 14th end Cobden was holding shot when Margaret drew and trailed the jack one foot for 4 shots. Wakefield then saw out the last few ends for the win. The National final is in Browns Bay, North Shore, on April 24 & 25.

Margaret says, “It was a great team performance on a sunny day in Greymouth, we are looking forward to the finals in Auckland.” To cap off a good weekend, Margaret received the news that she has been selected for the Nelson Reps team to play at the National Intercentre tournament in Christchurch in two weeks, while Linda and Di are in the Nelson development team for the National 8 year and under Intercentre in Auckland later this week.

Tennis tournament a big hit in Mapua Amy Russ

Last Saturday it was the Mapua Tennis club’s turn to host the Tennis Hot Shots Tournament. Tennis Hot Shots is all about giving children the opportunity to play tennis in an environment, and at a level that suits them. This is the fifth in the series of competition. Local tennis clubs have embraced the hot shots tournament series, running competitions at each club over the summer season. “They are simply the best way to introduce children to the joys of fun, competitive tennis,” says Nelson Bays Tennis Association (NBTA) regional coordinator Ali McQuillan. “It is an inspiring competitive environment in which children can compete at a level that is right for them.” The tournament kicked off with the red level players (5-8 year olds), proving to be fairly evenly matched, producing some lengthy rallies, with congratulations going to Leon Fischer for taking the red level title, and runner-up going to Matai Arnott – both players are from the Upper Moutere Tennis Club. Nelson club took the top spot in the orange level (810 year olds) with Lucas Swarbrick winning the title, with runner-up Marie-Anne Stanley of Moutere club. Winner of the green level (9-12 year olds) went to George Aerkis of Mapua club with Evie Pearce of Richmond club hot on his heels in second place. Mapua coach Vanessa Mairs was thrilled with the attitude and ability of the young players taking up the challenge. There are two more tournaments before the season wraps up, the next will be held at Motueka Tennis club on March 17 with the final competition to be held in conjunction with the Talleys Junior Summer open at the Hope club on April 7.

44 7575 RICHMOND (Entrance to Warring car-park) This month hundreds of Waimea landowners have to decide whether to take shares in the Waimea Community Dam. It is a critical crossroad that will impact on their property and the wider region for the next 100 years. I am urging landowners to join. This is the best opportunity in a generation to achieve water security. We have spent over $6 million and 20 years on investigations, consultation, consenting and design. We have had capable community and industry leaders like the late Nick Patterson, John Palmer, Murray King

and many others invest years of their life in developing a viable solution to our long standing water problems. There is no easy answer to how we share the $80 million cost of this huge infrastructure project. I have worked hard to help secure $40 million in Government support made up of, $8 million in grants, $10 million interest free loan to council and $22 million on a concessionary loan to irrigators. The new Coalition Government is honouring this commitment but withdrawing any new funding for any future schemes. It will be a tragedy for

the region and horticultural industry if this funding support is lost. The share falling on ratepayers is fair. The biggest benefit from the dam will be the environmental gains from increasing summertime minimum flows six-fold to 1.1 cumecs. It is the only practical solution to the long standing problem of toxic algae blooms in the lower Waimea River. Talk of wanting cleaner rivers comes cheap but it is action that is needed. Ratepayers also need to contribute towards the cost of securing more water for our rapidly growing towns.

38 Oxford Street, Richmond

A project of this size will always have its naysayers. They have failed to put forward a credible alternative. Doing nothing is not an option if we are serious about improving New Zealand’s rivers. Nelson almost had riots in the 1980s over the Matai Dam. Thank goodness our community had the leaders and courage to invest in the future or Nelson would have since faced many Cape Town like water crisis. Some Waimea landowners with existing water tights may be tempted to do nothing. The problem is that without the

Owner/OOperator perator Owner/

dam, these rights will need to be severely curtailed to meet the new national requirements for minimum river flows. No dam will mean reduced land values, reduced horticulture and fewer jobs. Water is the resource of this century. Our region is incredibly blessed with copious volumes of high quality freshwater. Our biggest problem is having too much in winter and too little in summer. Now is the chance to grasp the opportunity, build the dam and lift our management of this precious resource. Advt.

The Nelson Heat u16 baseball team is heading to Club Nationals today, Wednesday, March 14. The tournament will be held at Crossfields Reserve in Glendowie, Auckland, and features the best club teams from around New Zealand. The Nelson squad heads away on the back of a first placing at the South Island tournament, the Jim Kaat Invitational in January. Coach Marty Grant says the boys are looking forward to another opportunity to test and grow their abilities. As a burgeoning sport in New Zealand, baseball attracts numbers

and talent to the wellattended age-group tournaments. Last season the club earned a third placing (of 14 teams) at u13 Club Nationals. Many of the boys who earned that now feature in the club’s u16 team. Follow the team’s progress at Club Nationals at: www.nelsonheatbaseball. org.nz. Nelson Heat would like to thank the generous sponsors who feature on this page. Without these companies backing our boys, the team could not get to Auckland to take advantage of this opportunity.

There will also be a few senior players who will have a few games for the young players, such as touch rugby and tug of war, while Mum and Dad sign up the kids.” The Wanderers Club has a very strong JAB base having seen year-on-year growth, with many children participating from the Brightwater catchment area.

The female players still have plenty of time to build up their fitness before their competition gets going, but for men playing in the senior side, they will need www.taycon.co.nz to get cracking! “You need to be fit before you start training, not come to training to get fit,’ says Grant. “The training is more skills-based and about refining your play, and takes place twice a week for seniors. Our players also need their own fitness training regimes outside of the scheduled practices.” The main playing field for Wanderers games and training is the Brightwater

Wanderers Rugby Club Domain and the club also uses another facility Lord Rutherford Park, which has a small building with a large training area and two rugby grounds. The origins of the Wanderers Club goes way back to 1951, when several rugby clubs (Pirates and Rovers) from Hope, Brightwater and Wakefield combined. The club gets its name from an old Wanderers cricket club based in Spring Grove (which is between Brightwater and Wakefield). In 1982 cricket came under the Wanderers banner, followed by netball in 1984 and in 2011

Rugby League became part of the club (although unfortunately rugby league won’t be happening this year). The club has a squash court and a community gym (in the old bowling green) making Wanderers a truly multi-sport club, which also has a fully-licensed bar and kitchen facilities. “Our generous sponsors help make it all happen, in particular we are grateful for the backing of our main sponsor—Taylor’s Contracting Group - which are a fantastic, active organisation in the community.

Older Youth, Going deeper

Introducing Josh Hi, my name is Joshua Allan-Johns and I am the new Youth Team Leader at Church on the Hill. I have taken on leadership of the Friday night youth group that runs 7-9pm during the term. I’ve already had a great time getting to know the youth and have been greatly encouraged by their welcoming attitude and enthusiasm. I am excited to take as many of our youth as possible to Easter Camp in Christchurch (March 29 - April 2). At the camp over 3,500 young people gather together for five days to enjoy live music, food, fun activities, great community and to learn about the Christian Easter story. My main goal for the youth is to see them bond together as a group and for them to grow together learning more about Christ.

I am fresh from Christchurch where I have had nine years experience in youth leadership, gained a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and some study towards a Bachelor of Theology. I am a vocalist and bass guitar player and enjoy playing in worship bands. I maintain a healthy interest in Science as a whole and have an extensive games collection, both physical board games and digital video games.
