Murchison: We did it Phillip Rollo An estimated 1000 people turned out to watch the Murchison rugby team create history for the town on Saturday.

Murchison saved its best game for last, securing its first ever Car Company division two title with a 39-15 win over Taylor’s Contracting Wanderers.

The fixture was a replay of last

year’s final and with a win a-piece this season, there was nothing separating the two sides heading into Saturday’s grand final.

Murchison co-coach Mike Huxford, who is stepping down alongside the side’s other co-coach Darcy Grooby, says it is the biggest result in the club’s history.

“It’s brilliant, we are over the moon. I think this is massive for the club and everyone is on a high,

knowing we have done it,” says Mike. Murchison won the third division back in the 90s and qualified for its first division two final last year.

Now that the trophy cabinet is full, a handful of the club’s custodians have retired on a high. “A few might be going away, but there are a lot of younger guys there and the depth is really strong.”

Local jazz band hits the road

The Waimea College Jazz Band will be hoping to undo the saying ‘saving the best until last’ when it opens the New Zealand Festival of Jazz in Wellington this week.

This is the first time Waimea College is sending a band to what is arguably the biggest secondary school jazz event in the country. The festival will feature hundreds of performances around the capital as well as a competition amongst all of the acts. Students will also take part in a number of workshops.

The Waimea College Jazz Band consists of eight members, James Vanner (drums), Ryan Morris (piano), Matthew Hammond (guitar), Sam

Hitchens (trombone), Peter Thomson (guitar), Pip West (alto sax), Simon Parkes (bass), and Patrick West (alto and soprano sax).

Despite an unknown element to the festival, band director Martin Emo expects it be of a very high standard.

“There’s people coming all the way from the Bay of Islands and from areas where jazz has traditionally been strong. Some have been cleaning up at Tauranga and Manawatu jazz festivals for years and years,” he says.

“Jazz hasn’t been a big thing here, it has existed and there’s been combos, but it’s just giving them a challenge.”

Waimea College will also enter a senior jazz trio in the competition.

Mall ranks in top 3 A national review has ranked the Richmond Mall as the third-equal best shopping centre of its size in the country.

The review was the third conducted by retail planning, interior, design architecture and property management company RCG since 2008 but the first featuring the Richmond Mall amongst its top 32 shopping centres.

The review marked the Richmond Mall with a score of 61 out of 100, equal with Centre Place in Hamilton and below overall winner The Hub Hornby in Christchurch and runner-up Shore City in Northern Auckland in the ‘Middleweight Shopping Centre’ category. Middleweight classed those that fell between neighbourhood and re-

gional centres.

RCG stated that the Richmond Mall “hits above its weight and should really be thought of as a good quality medium-sized centre”, also going on to say “the centre is very popular with locals and it integrates well with the street retail”.

Richmond Mall manager David Hill was happy with the results. “We’re absolutely thrilled to bits.

It’s good recognition of the hard work that the owners have put into the place,” he says. “It’s a good reflection for the tenants as well.”

Richmond Mall placed higher than Wellington’s Johnsonville Shopping Centre, Dunedin’s Meridian Mall and Christchurch’s Eastgate Shopping Centre, amongst others.

Fines for bad fires

Tasman District Council is ensuring “good practice” of outdoor fires continues, threatening those who don’t comply with an instant $300 fine.

TDC’s compliance team says it fields regular complaints about excessively smokey fires in the Waimea area, 152 of those complaints coming in the past 12 months alone.

Use of fire to manage vegetation waste is common practice throughout the region and occurs on all types of properties, except for in the urban areas of Richmond and Motueka where such activity is strictly prohibited.

The council say excessively smokey fires can cause problems for neighbours, both in terms of nuisance and aggravating any respiratory condi-

tions some people may have.

Particulates from the fires, commonly assessed as PM10 or PM2.5, are associated with increased premature mortality, and exacerbate a number of respiratory and cardiac problems.

The council says that smoke also causes irritation in eyes and is unpleasant to breathe in.

Smoke can also cause washing hung outside to smell.

They are for offences against Section 15 (2A) of the Resource Management Act 1991 – Discharge of Contaminant into air.

This comes on the back of the council threatening to issue fines for people caught dumping rubbish around rivers and on council-managed land.

Students seek advice on future

A transition market for students with a disability will be held at Waimea College next Wednesday.

The transition market gives each student and their parents a chance to scope out different services that will benefit them once they have left school. Those services include anything from booking a taxi, housing arrangements and rent to finding out where they can join a basketball team.

Nick too quick The victor was probably under little threat, but the chasing pack wasn’t too far behind.

MP Nick Smith, driving his eco-friendly car, won the “race to work” against fellow politicians and businessman Jim Matthews on Monday morning, an event to help promote this weekend’s Ecofest.

Nick took 15 and a half minutes to get from Sundial Square in Richmond to 1903 Square in Nelson with Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne in second place on his electric bike.

Jim Matthews finished third on his road bike and Mike Ward riding his recumbent bike was in fourth.

Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio was last after he took

the Nbus and then a Segway to the square but he says he had the most “time effective” trip, able to read the morning paper, clear emails and drink a coffee on the way.

Organiser Jo Reilly says the race was a way to encourage people to think about the different ways they can travel to work each morning and was part of the theme of this year’s Ecofest.

Richard, on his electric bike, hit a top speed of 46 kilometres per hour, just eight kilometres per hour ahead of Jim. Richard’s average speed was 27km/h.

Mike not only rode back from Richmond but rode out there before the challenge as well.

School fizzing for fair Appleby School children are brewing their own fizzy drinks as part of a competition being run in conjunction with the school’s annual fair.

The fair will be held on September 1 and is run by the Friends of Appleby School organising committee.

Janey Clark, competition co-ordinator, says the idea for the children’s fizzy drink competition was sparked by the parents’ home-brew competition, which is run alternate years. “It’s something a bit different to the usual children’s competitions,” she says.

With two weeks for the fizzy drinks to ferment, many children are well underway, making their competition entries at home. Janey says the chil-

dren are getting creative with their brews, making ginger beer, lemonade, strawberry-flavoured and even chocolate-flavoured fizz.

Although apparently temptation is too much for some children, who are having to re-make their competition entries after consuming their first batch.

Other contests include the parents Cafe Cake competition, the Grandparents bake-off and the children’s baking competition. Entries are judged on the day preceding the fair. All baking is then sold on the day, though the children’s fizzy will be displayed rather than available for purchase.

The fair runs from 11am until 2pm with parking provided in neighbouring paddocks.

Appleby School students Brodie Clark, Brandon and Judah Ashton, Oli Clark, Olivia Ashton and Milly Clark show off the home made fizzy drinks made for a competition at the upcoming school fair.

TO THE EDITOR

I am so glad that Trevor Higgs, a recent user of the new cycle bridge, has highlighted the difficulty of getting on and off it. I have used it and feel the same.

It is most awkward, even if you are walking up or down it as Stuart Hughes is adamant that people should do.

Users really should be able to cycle on and off it. The Otago Rail Trail has many bridges and I cannot recall having to walk over any of them.

What about parents pushing pushchairs or baby seats on the back of bikes, it must be difficult for these people as well? It’s a shame as otherwise it’s a great part of the cycle way.

I hope Trevor is fully recovered from his fall and wish him well.

I look forward to seeing the planned improvements that the council are proposing.

Are we there yet?

With candles glowing around the house on these wintery evenings and the smell of a delicious tagine slow cooking in the oven, I have decided a small amount of retail therapy in Living and Giving is what I need.

With 20% - 40% off everything in store, I am able to stock up on my Ecoya diffusers. My favourite is the Vanilla Bean and also the Ecoya candles. These candles are remarkable and with a burn time of 50 hours. Made from soy wax, you can actually use the warm wax as a hand lotion, and the scent is divine.

On the way to work I love my Bodum travel coffee mug, which is not only perfect for a morning fix of coffee but I do find that I have to be in quick otherwise one of my teenagers fills it with hot chocolate for their walk to school. So maybe I will add a couple of these to my shopping basket.

Spend some time looking at the many cookbooks and gain inspiration for some baking, cooking, grilling and search the shelves for those little extras that look so delightful in your kitchen.

The team are outstanding with their free gift wrapping, so a present for a friend is on my list.

Don’t forget free car parking on Tuesdays. I look forward to seeing you at our Fashion Island.

The Club Waimea Snooker Section wish to acknowledge the generous support of the following businesses, without which it would not have been possible to have successfully hosted the Clubs NZ South Island Snooker Pairs Tournament.

Colin Bowden, tournament organiser, winners Alan Gill and Garry Hale with Paul Chivers, tournament controller, and Glen Beattie.

Fifth consecutive win for Dunedin pair Colin Bowden After three days of intense competition, the outstanding Dunedin pairing of Alan Gill and Garry Hale once again took away the title from the Clubs NZ South Island Snooker Pairs Tournament at Club Waimea last week. Their domination is shown by the fact that this was their tenth championship in eighteen years, and their fifth in succession. Although the field for the tournament, now iin its 36 year, was one of the strongest in two decades, Gill and Hale went through the contest with the loss of only a single game. Runners up were Papanui No. 1 team, Brent Jones, himself a winner on five previous occasions, and Brian Dunn, who managed to take one frame in the best of five final. Garry

Hale also took out the prize for highest break during the tournament, with a well constructed 79 in the first frame of the final.

Local teams, consisting of nine from Club Waimea and two each from City Club Nelson and the Nelson Subruban Club, strived valiantly against much more experienced players and all came away with at least one memorable victory over higher-ranked sides. Last year’s surprise finalists Gary Calderbank and lorne Wells, representing the Suburban Club, nearly matched that achievement as they reached the semi-finals before losing out to jones and Dunn. The best performing of the Waimea teams was Geoff Nieman and Peret Phipps, who fought through to the quarter-finals of

the championship before going down two frames to one to a pairing from the Richmond Club in Christchurch.

Others to exceed their expectations (and rankings) were Barry Weavers and Brian Comer, who reached the semi-finals in the flight event, Clare and Mike Shanaher who reached the last four in the Special Flight, and Frank Woodhouse and Burt Gary who won the plate contest – but only by defeating fellow Waimea players, Julie Dalton and Susie Hopwood.

Considerable praise has been heaped on the Club Waimea Snooker Section for their organisation and geniality, accolades which are also befitting the staff and members who made the visitors so welcome.

How would you like to go to a place that offers; • Companionship • New friends to make • Lots of clubs to join • Play cards or pool • Great food at great prices • A modern safe environment • Always lots to do or a place for a quiet chat and a drink

New Show Home at 5 On the Brightside

Welcome to our August Newsletter, Hope you are all keeping dry and warm in what seems to be a very wet month.

We are all hoping that the sun will shine through for more than one day at a time very soon. There are plenty of ills and chills around at the moment so take care of yourselves.

We celebrated the unveiling of our Mural recently. After a busy time getting it all organised, we have had some very favourable comments about it and hope you can all go and have a firsthand look at it, if it stops raining long enough. It was great that we could involve Pinegrove Kindergarten and Brightwater School in this event.

The BMX track is in the process of being finished off, still a little bit of work to be done which is being organised.

Have you had the chance to go and cycle or walk over the Wairoa cycle bridge? There are lots of extra cycles visiting the village. It is so good to see people using this wonderful asset and it is good for our local businesses too.

The next stage of the cycle trail is underway and Wakefield will be celebrating their opening at the end of October. Someone mentioned at a recent

meeting that we are lucky in Brightwater - we can cycle in to Richmond and Nelson or cycle to Wakefield when the trail is complete.

Some good news is that the wash out that occurred on the Two Rivers Walkway has been repaired and looks good.

Many local people use this walkway and it is great that repairs have been completed.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 4 September, 7.30pm at the Brightwater School Staffroom. We have the Mayor, Richard Kempthorne, visiting us for this meeting so if you have any burning questions you want to put to him please come along and do so, everyone is welcome.

See you there, Your Community Association

Brightwater Mural The idea for the mural came from Pamela and Cliff Sirett, who thought the Pinegrove Kindergarten children would enjoy looking at a colourful mural rather than a grey concrete wall. Pamela belongs to the Brightwater Community Association and asked if we could turn the wall into a mural. Dale and Christine Ewers kindly gave permission NOW OPEN for us to put the mural on the Wakefield Villa wall. The first thing to happen was for the wall to be thoroughly cleaned, and Hotwash Waterblasting of Brightwater stepped up and kindly cleaned the wall at no charge. We applied for and were successful in Telephone: receiving funds from Creative fine coffee, tea’s 541 9168 New Zealand through the TasDelicious Cakes 7 Days a week & Lunches man District Council. Lucky 9am - 4pm for our Community, artist 14 Whitby Way, Wakefield (previously Portrush Antiques) Marie Greeks moved in to our neighbourhood and agreed to put together our picture FOR ALL ENGINEERING WORK for the mural depicting Early Brightwater buildings and icons. She spent much time getting this just right and finally everything was set to go.

Paints of Richmond, Charlie Harwood Builders who kindly donated the use of a huge scissor lift that allowed Marie and Pauline to paint the top part of the mural. Marie and Pauline had many helpers to paint the mural, Maries’ sister Pamela Hill, some keen Pinegrove Kindergarten children, some children from Brightwater School, Diane from Wanderers Rugby Football Club and members of the Waimea Anglican Church. Finally earlier this year the mural was completed. HiReach kindly donated the use of a smaller scissor lift for Hamish and Tracey to put on the anti-graffitti coating. Finally Affordable Sign & Graphics gave us an excellent deal on the signage to complete the Mural. We would like to thank each and every person, who has helped in any way with the mural, and we apologise if there is anyone we forgot to mention. The whole process has taken approximately 4 years but we think we can be very proud of the finished mural – good things do take time. We hope everyone enjoys the mural and takes the time to go and have a look at it.

We would like to thank everyone too, who came to the unveiling. A special thanks to the Pinegrove Kindergarten teachers and children, the Brightwater School Choir, and the Brightwater School Kapa Haka group for making our unveiling such a special occasion.

Thanks to Wanderers Rugby Football Club for being the venue for our get together after the unveiling.

Letter to our Brightwater Community We have in the midst of our Community a resident who loves to get out there and keep our village and surrounding areas looking neat and tidy and cared for. This person is Mr Potter. We would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to him. Did you all notice that a few days before the Cycle Trail opening, Mr Potter kindly tidied up the area at the shops by cleaning all the weeds that had started to grow around the bollards there? It certainly looked lovely after he had finished. Mr Potter has also been busy planting down at the entrance way to the Two Rivers Walkway and he regularly keeps the street edges tidy.

We sincerely appreciate the time and effort he puts in to his community, we all benefit from his work. Thank you, Mr Potter.

We would also like to thank every-

one who had any part in helping out at the Cycle Trail opening. Having so many people involved with the many jobs helped make this event a great success.

Likewise with the Mural unveiling, we would like to thank everyone who helped out with this community event. All sectors in our community where involved and I would like to make a special thank you to Jacqui and Wendy who did the catering for this event. The food was delicious and was appreciated by all who enjoyed it.

We would like to publicly thank the Board of the Brightwater School for being so supportive of our Community Association, we are so pleased to be able to hold our monthly meetings there.

Welcome to our last official month of winter. It does feel as if we have come out of the freezer just to fall into a lake with such a wet start to the spring.

I am sure that all of the Nelson residents must all be suffering from Vitamin D deficiency after a string of gloomy, grey and overcast days. I know I am seriously starting to crave sunshine, so it was with great delight that I shook the moths from the 3/4 pants, donned a t-shirt and runners as Cruse and I took off to

Tahuna beach this morning. It was really amazing – lots of sun, no wind and many others with their dog friends doing the same thing. It looks great with the snow still on the mountains, looking across the sea with clear blue sky above.

It is very easy to look at the garden through the rain on a dull day and not see much happening, so I tested this out last week and was very happy and pleased to see so much suddenly blooming. Amongst other things the stand outs are my reticulata camellia – a gorgeous pink, and many other camellias ranging from red to white, the hellebores or “winter roses” in shades from deep red to white and lime green, the gold leucadendron and escallonia “gold brian” with fabulous gold foliage at this time of year. Mixed in with these are of course the daffodils, narcissus, jonquils and irises, polyanthus, primulas and pansies that are now starting to move and provide colour spots. It seems to be a good season for the daphne’s also with leucanthe and alba both flowering well in my fragrant garden. Also the plants of sarcococca ruscifolia that went into this area three years ago are now providing a beautiful fragrance. These love the dry shade area but do not seem to have suffered at all with the extra rain. Magnolia

“vulcan” is also starting to flower and looks rather magnificent.

It is now time to clean out your seed trays and start thinking about summer seed sowing. If, like me, you have packets of old seed piling up, you can still use them providing they have been kept dry, well past the use by date on the packet.

There was great excitement in the potting shed last weekend as I uncovered a small jar of Beryl’s beans. I spoke of her tomatoes, which I will be growing again this year, but thought I had come to the end of her delicious dwarf green beans. Beryl seemed to be able to grow these beans and have them on the table from October until May. She kept her family supplied with both fresh beans and seed and ate beans every day for many months. Considering she was 97, blind and quite deaf, she knew which ones to pick and when and which rows she would leave for seed – the green vegetable bug seemed to miraculously leave Beryl and her garden alone. None of the family can remember which type of beans they were and I am so pleased to have found ten seeds, which I will plant in September.

TIPS • Make a list of the seeds you want to grow and start sourcing them now.

Kings seeds have a beaut catalogue or go “on line”.

• If you haven’t planted your strawberries yet it is OK – garden centres will have plants already in flower so keep an eye out for these.

• Plant brassica’s now – cabbage, cauli, bok choy, broccoli etc to give them a good start prior to the onset of the

Wanderers Sports Club

Murchison claim maiden title Phillip Rollo

Murchison are no longer the bridesmaids of Nelson Bays rugby, securing its first ever Car Company division two title in front of a bumper crowd on Saturday.

Missed conversions at the death had been Murchison’s downfall when the sides met just two weeks ago. However, they were up for the challenge and a dominant performance from the forwards gave the backs plenty of chances to work their magic in the 39-15 victory.

Fullback David Gill, who ended up scoring twice in the fixture, crossed over for his first five pointer after just five minutes as the maroon and golds came out all guns blazing, looking to kill the game off early.

We made a few changes in the second half but Wanderers only wanted to play it in the forwards.”

Simon added two second half penalties to seal the win after Ethan Rueben and Tom Stilwell scored for Wanderers. Wanderers fullback Dan Cooper added one conversion and one penalty.

Wanderers team manager Kyle Paki Paki says the better team won on the day. “We’re absolutely gutted but they just outplayed us right from the start.”

Murchison have often played their best footy in the first half so Kyle was not surprised with the opponent’s hunger in the opening spells.

“It was everything we had trained for and had anticipated. We just didn’t fire on the day.”

The Wanderers season was still deemed a success, making back to back finals appearances. The club was now looking to build for next season and push some of its division two players onto the top grade.

Proposal for a Rates Remission Policy for Land Affected

by Natural Disaster

Summary of Information for Statement of Proposal Draft Tasman District Council Consolidated Bylaw Chapter 3 Control of Liquor in Public Places Bylaw 2012

Tasman District Council’s Proposal for a Rates Remission Policy for Land Affected by Natural Disaster is now available for public consultation.

The proposed Policy is for residential land affected by natural disaster, in order to provide rating relief for ratepayers unable to inhabit their dwellings or buildings as a result of natural disaster.

The Council has approved a Summary of Information and a Statement of Proposal for public consultation under section 83 of the Local Government Act 2002.

Your views will help guide Council’s decision-making on whether to proceed with developing and adopting a policy.

The proposal is contained in two documents: • A Summary of Information, which outlines the detail of the proposal, the reason for a proposal and the period for submissions.

• A Statement of Proposal which provides detail on the proposal, options, financial and other considerations.

The above documents are available for viewing on Council’s website at www.tasman.govt.nz/rates-remission and during normal office hours at the following Tasman District Council Service Centres: • Richmond, 189 Queen Street, Richmond • Motueka, 7 Hickmott Place, Motueka • Takaka, 78 Commercial Street, Takaka • Murchison, 92 Fairfax Street, Murchison Libraries: • District Library, Queen Street, Richmond • Motueka Library, Pah Street, Motueka • Takaka Memorial Library, Junction Street, Takaka.

The Summary of Information will be printed in the Tasman District Council’s Newsline circular, cover date 27 July 2012.

Submissions are invited on the proposal for a Rates Remission Policy for Land Affected

by Natural Disaster and must be received by 4.30 pm on 24 August 2012. Please post to: Submissions on Rates Remission Policy Chief Executive’s Office Tasman District Council Private Bag 4 Richmond 7050 Or deliver to your local Tasman District Council office; or email to info@tasman.govt.nz

Notice of meeting – Richmond Residents Association Tuesday 21 August 2012, 7.30 pm, Richmond Recreation Centre/Richmond Town Hall (Small Meeting Room).

This summary is made to fulfil the purposes of Sections 83(1)(a)(ii) and 89 of the Local Government Act 2002. The summary contains details of the Statement of Proposal to replace the existing Tasman District Council Consolidated Bylaw Chapter 3 Control of Liquor in Public Places Bylaw 2007 (existing Bylaw).

A. Changes from the existing Bylaw in general terms relate to the areas covered by the liquor ban in Brightwater and environs, Collingwood, Kaiteriteri and environs, Mapua and environs, Motueka and environs, Murchison, Pohara and environs, Richmond and environs, Riwaka and environs, Takaka and environs, Tapawera and Wakefield and environs. Changes are also intended to the times that the existing Bylaw is in force. Those time changes include a 24 hour liquor ban for the CBDs in Motueka, Richmond and Takaka, and for part of the year in Riwaka. The earlier start applied to the Kaiteriteri liquor ban area is extended to cover a wider period of the holiday season. Remaining areas have liquor bans commencing at 7.00 pm, compared with 9.00 pm in the existing bylaw.

Change to the definition of “Public Place” is included to align with the definition in the Local Government Act 2002. Full detail of these proposed changes are contained in the draft Tasman District Council Consolidated Bylaw Chapter 3 Control of Liquor in Public Places Bylaw 2012 (the draft Bylaw).
