Teresa Hattan A drained emergency fund and a desire to push on with core upgrades has Tasman ratepayers facing a seven percent increase to this years rates. Tasman District councillors adopted its draft annual plan at the full council meeting last Thursday, which includes the hefty rise in rates. But mayor Richard Kempthorne says his team has worked hard to keep it as low as possible. “The number we were orginally looking at was a lot higher, there has been a lot of hard work and disscusion about it to get it were it is.” The general rate rise for Tasman ratepayers will be 4.71 percent, with an additional 1.98 percent for the emergency fund and other increases to various targeted rates. The draft annual plan is out for public submission this Friday and Richard says he is expecting some flack from ratepayers. “It is still high and we fully acknowledge that it is high and if ratepayers have suggestions where we can cut spending we will certainly look at that,” he says. Nelson City Council is proposing a rate increase of just 2.5 percent this year, but Tasman is having to replinish its emergency fund, empted by the floods at Tapawera and Golden Bay, and is pushing ahead with core infracsture upgrades it had previously planned says TDC chief executive Paul Wylie. “Nelson council hasn’t had to deal with any disasters and they have cancelled $16 million worth

Rotary throws in the boot Christchurch’s Student Army had plenty of gumboots thanks to Richmond Rotary. Rotary members wanted to do something to help those in Christchurch and also wanted to support youth, something Rotary aim to do frequently. So last week it sent gumboots by the hundreds to the Student Volunteer Army. The army is a group of university students who have voluntered to help clean up suburbs badly struck by the Christrchurch earthquake, it started from a Facebook group of students who wanted to help their city. Pip Berkett, president of Richmond Rotary says members got behind the suggestion to provide some appropriate footwear to the volunteers. In total, $1000 was spent immediately to purchase a large quantity of the rubber footwear. When considering transport options members learnt that the gumboots would be transported to a bulk store at Sockburn and there could be a considerable delay before the needy received them. Pip and Heather McKenzie then decided to fill up a van with the gumboots and drive through the night to get the club’s donation to the needy students. Pip says the students were so pleased to receive them they were dragging them [the gumboots] out of the van and putting them on FLYING GUMBOOTS: Richmond Rotary president Pip Berkett with a few pairs their feet as soon as they arrived. of the gumboots, similar to those that Rotary took down to Christchurch to help the “It’s something small we can do Student Army.

Richmond School caretaker Dean Wilkinson is being hailed a hero after his quick thinking stopped a potentially deadly situation and saved a home-made kite. Last Tuesday afternoon the children from Waverley St Kindergarten were on the school field flying their kites when one took off and flew into some nearby power lines, followed closely by its owners - several kindergarten children. Dean then ran to the rescue. As kindergarten teachers and children started to move towards the wedged kite, Dean stopped them just in time. He then ran to the fence and flipped the handle loose, which freed the kite. He didn’t stop there

though, the kite flew off again over the road and into a neighbouring property and Dean went through the gate and retrieved it for them. “We watched as he rewound the string and brought the kite in. When he came back to us with the kite, we were so happy. We think Dean is the best and we want to thank him publicly for being our friend,” says Waverley St teacher Raelene Norris. Over the past couple of weeks the children have loved getting out to fly their kites on the Richmond School field she says, as it is now fully enclosed, making it a safe place for them to play. This close call has ensured the kids now keep a watchful eye on what their kite is up to.

Richmond to finally be patrolled 24/7 Richmond police station is set to be manned 24 hours a day, thanks to a restructure amongst Nelson Bays police. The strategic restructure, which has been developed over the past six months, is now in the first stages of implementation. Nelson Bays Area Commander Inspector Brian McGurk has initiated the restructure to ensure the finite police resources are utilised to best effect in order to increase capacity for preventative and visible policing. “This restructure is all about working smarter. Staff numbers are not being reduced, however we have had a clear message from national headquarters that we will not be getting extra staff in the near future.” One of the key drivers of the restructure was to get more staff
back on to frontline policing and to enable staff to be rostered to risk. “Richmond and the surrounding Inspector Brian area has exMcGurk. perienced considerable population growth and to better police these communities the Richmond station will be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” Brian has also made more resources available to deal with family violence and child protection issues.“It may come as a surprise to some people, but family violence is one of the largest volume crimes police in
Nelson Bays have to deal with. “This restructure will ensure we have more resources to effectively police these issues.” Brian says the restructure had been developed through extensive consultation with staff and the police association. He says the response from local staff to the change had been generally positive. “I’ve had some really constructive input from staff from across Nelson Bays which has been valuable. Frankly, I see this restructure as a starting point. Our communities and the issues that arise in them are constantly changing. “My expectation is that police will retain the flexibility to quickly adapt to the changing needs of the community and manage our response accordingly.” Advertorial

Drive sensibly and you can use 20 percent less fuel … and pocket the savings. That’s the upshot from Hyundai’s bold approach to last week’s AA Energywise Rally, which showed New Zealand could be $1.7 billion better off if we all played our part. Pie in the sky? That’s what the everyday Hyundai drivers thought before taking on the professionals over the tough four days driving from Auckland to Wellington and back. Everyone knows the eco-nuts can save buckets of fuel, but what about the average driver? The Hyundai driver and co-driver pairs all found a reduction in fuel consumption is not out of the question, even though conditions were atrocious on the grueling 1,770km rally route. Almost all of them managed to improve on the fuel efficiency factory rating of their vehicles, some nearly hitting the 20% improvement mark, with only 4 days of eco-driving experience up their sleeve by the end of the Rally. Beforehand, most were intimidated by the figures achieved by professional drivers, seeing those economy margins as out of reach. “Driving with fuel economy as a priority wasn’t something I’d thought about in the past; it was a totally new concept to me,” commented Sian
Protheroe, daily driver of a Hyundai and Hyundai pilot in the rally. “Looking at our results and how significantly we succeeded in increasing our fuel economy through being more aware of our driving style, means that there will be a change in my focus for the future.” Figures from Gull and the Ministry of Economic Development show New Zealand uses approximately $8.5 billion worth of fuel a year in road transport – meaning the nation could save $1.7b every year. “That’s the challenge we throw down to New Zealand,” said Tom Ruddenklau, Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand. We chose to invite normal, everyday drivers to make up our rally team, just to see what is possible, and they surprised themselves. “This is not with absurdly miserly driving tactics, it’s just a matter of being sensible in the way we all go about our daily driving. And another positive spinoff: road safety also improves, at a time when the Police are promising another crackdown on speeding this holiday weekend. “Hats off to the Hyundai rally team for showing the rest of New Zealand what is possible,” said Mr Ruddenklau.

Trolley king back to retain derby title Teresa Hattan A red speed demon made out of paper mache will soon be rocketing down Collingwood St. The annual Robertson’s Trolley Derby arrives in Nelson later this month and those young and old have been spending quality time getting their vehicles ready. Richmond’s Ronan Stilwell, 9, has spent the last couple of months getting his trolley ready with father Bruce. The pair has re-used the shell of last year’s trolley which saw Ronan take out the Zoomer category, for 7 to 10 years-old. He is hoping to retain the title and is sure his trolley, rightfully named Speed Demon, will take him to yet another win. The original shell of the trolley took around three weeks for Bruce and Ronan to construct and getting the extra bits and pieces has taken a while. Last year Ronan named his trolley the Blue Rocket and he and his dad has added to the shell and added a head protector this time around. Bicycle wheels will propel Ronan down the steep hill and hopefully over the finish line in first place. Next year Ronan will be going up a class. He says the best part about being involved in the trolley derby is going down the hill for the first time. “You get kind of scared but after that it’s really fun.” Ronan says he has a lot of fun racing other kids his age. He hopes nothing will happen to his trolley this year so he can use it again for next year, with a few modifications of course. “Next year we’ll build a new shell for it,” he says. Ronan wears a helmet when racing, which is lucky because he says the fastest he’s been in his trolley is 76 kilometers. “That was practising and before it was remodelled, when it was the Blue Rocket.”

Ronan says he has had a lot of fun working on the trolley over the weekends with his dad. Varnish has been used amongst the paper mache to make the base of the shell stronger. “The other layers are with water and flour; it’s got four kilograms of flour on it I’m pretty sure,” says Ronan. Ronan says it’s sad that people spend quite a bit of money on their trolleys. “It’s supposed to be a backyard thing.” Ronan and Bruce have been using regular household items and haven’t bought anything fancy. “It’s all about the fun,” says Ronan. - The Robertson’s Trolley Derby takes off down Collingwood St on March 26 from 10.30am to DERBY MASTER: Ronan Stilwell, 9, was the winner of his category at 4pm. last year’s trolley derby.

Summer Fare just about here Dive into your wardrobe for those wimples, doublets and tabards. Medieval clothing will make a comeback at the Last of the Summer Fare in Richmond next Friday, with prizes up for grabs for the Maids and Masters Medieval Fashion Parade. Costume hire outlets may be the best bet for a toque to top off your outfit, or a pair of poulaines. However, tunics might be easier to come by, along with jerkins, breeches, corsets, a cloak or chemise. Former choirboys might still be able to squeeze into the old surplice, but it would take a sturdy woman (or man) to wear a houppelande, the full skirt-like garment with long flared sleeves and train that could top the scales at 10 kilograms. Likewise, it might be wise to shun the hairshirt, or cilice, made of coarse fabric or animal hair and designed to torment the wearer as a sign of repentance. The medieval theme promises to bring a sprinkling of wenches or dandies in tights to the annual celebration of local food, beer, wine and music.

“We have a lack of senior members at the moment. We’re also after more young ones to learn. We want the older people to get their pipes out from under their beds and get them playing again.” Les’ wife Joy, who is secretary of the band, says it is uncommon for people to get rid of their pipes after they stop playing as they’re quite valuable. “The pipe band does an awful amount of fundraising to keep the costs down. For anyone who is starting we loan them a chanter or drum pad and sticks. Sometimes parents might have more than one child involved so it can be quite an expensive exercise for a family.” Les and Joy say they would love to see a lot of the ex pipers return to the band. The band meet in the Richmond Town Hall every Tuesday from 6pm, all are welcome.

Letters to the editor
The suggestion that the oak at Holy Trinity was ‘rotten’ and ‘a major safety risk’ is complete nonsense (Waimea Weekly March 9). The Church’s advisor certainly was an expert at cutting the tree down but clearly had no expertise in providing an assessment on the health of it. Why the building committee sought the advice of a bushman is beyond me. Is this not like asking a butcher to comment on the welfare of your pet lamb? Now that the tree is down we can all see just how much rot the tree had. All the other advice that the building committee received was correct. The tree was perfectly sound, had no decay and was completely safe (as could reasonably be expected). The reason a bushman came from the West Coast to do the job was because all the local arboricultural firms refused to cut the tree down. They all said it was such an outstanding specimen and encouraged the Church to retain it. One can only come to the conclusion that the building committee took the advice that they wanted to hear. My commiserations to the misinformed parish for they have lost a valuable piece of church heritage and to the wider Richmond community that enjoyed sharing it. Brad Cadwallader, Richmond. The recent milling of the beautiful old oak tree by Holy Trinity Church on the Hill can only be described as an insensitive misreading of local values. The church has added to the hurts of those to whom it aspires to be a beacon of light, hope and comfort in a sad and selfish world. As a public relations exercise on a scale of one to ten I would rate this counter productive moe minus twenty. Bridget Crundwell, Dorset St resident. We haven’t many beautiful treed areas in our environment so the article in the Waimea Weekly about cutting down the 100 year old oak tree really incensed me. How could these people get away with it, and do this without informing the residents on Dorset St and the people of Richmond? It’s the whole of Richmond which is affected. How can it be said that the Church Hall has served the community for over 100 years, never thinking that the tree has served the community for 100 years – there’s an irony in that. I believe Brad Cadwallader when he says it was

100 percent sound, otherwise how could it be used for the new building. I also agree with the person who posted a notice ‘Shame on you, we loved that tree.’ Eileen Kortooms, Richmond.

Re: removing of trees at Holy Trinity Church. The very next day after the act, I was traveling down Dorset St on my mobility scooter; I was struck by the terrible apposition of the tree trucks and mobile crane on the driveway. As I sat there looking, a man walked down and spoke to me. I informed him of my horror and disbelief. He informed me that he was not the vicar but just a worker. It seems to me that given the large car park in the church property they could have extended the existing building in the southerly direction 7-8 meters and completely refurbished. This would have met their requirements. I do not feel God will look very kindly on such desecration. Mrs Probort, Richmond. Farewell grand old oak, How many of our children have attempted to climb this monster on their way to or from school? How many acorns have arrived home in their pockets? How many pictures have been created from its crunchy autumn leaves? What a huge loss to our community, its history and landscape. How disappointing the Holy Trinity Church “building advisory group” chose to disregard apparent efforts by the Tasman District Council to protect this tree. The group also appears to have ignored expert advice and reports supporting its health and safety. Sadly the grand old oak is gone forever. Perhaps the community will be given the chance to save remaining trees on this historical site from suffering a similar fate. We wonder if anyone bothered to photograph these trees before they were axed, to document the landscape of Church Hill which took over 100 years to create. Shane and Kylie Harris, Hope. Regarding the Diocesan stance on the Tadmor church property, the Government of NZ counts it justice to freely hand back donated land which is no longer required for the use for which it was given. Might we expecte the diocese to be able to equal that secular virtue, so that a community trust might continue fulfilling the wishes of the original donor? A F Jenks, Wakefield.

Waimea kick off local rugby season this weekend Teresa Hattan Waimea Old Boys quest for a senior rugby title swings into action this weekend as it travels to play competition favourites Nelson. Senior A and B rugby kicks off this Saturday across the region with Waimea the only team in in the Waimea Weekly circulation that will be playing in the top grade. In division two Wanderers, Waimea, Murchison and Rangers will contest for the title, won by Marist last year. In the division three competition Waimea, Wanderers and Tapawera will go head-to-head as Waimea aims to regain the crown it won last season. Waimea Old Boys top side is once again coached by Dion Mitton, Mark Milne and Rik Taikato. Mark says the squad has not played any preseason games because of the March start, instead of April, to this years competition. “We were conscious of hard grounds and injuries so we’ve been doing a bit of physical work in our trainings. At the end of the day we’ll be well under-done but we’ll have plenty of time to improve.” He says the boys are all looking forward to getting in some good rugby this season and being involved in a good competition. “There are six teams back in which is good; there was only five last year so with the six it should be better. It would still be nice to have a couple more but we’re looking forward to it.” A few new players have signed themselves up to play for Waimea Old Boys this season. “In the backs we’ve got a guy by the name of Phil Gibson, he’s just moved back from Melbourne but he was in the Canterbury setup prior to going overseas so he’ll be quite a strong first five eight. We’ve also picked up another couple of guys from the Christchurch area; one’s a midfield back - Alex Lean and Andrew

Lietham.” Mark says the team still has a few young guys from last year and several more coming through the ranks. “We’ve worked pretty hard in the off season to add a bit of depth to the club and in doing that we’ve worked really hard on getting guys employment and getting them into employment situations so we’re not just talking about rugby.” Last years forward pack has been depleted due to a range of reasons. “We’ve lost five out of our forward pack from last year. We lost some of them late in the piece so we’re working on building some depth there at the moment.” The game against a stacked Nelson side this weekend will be a tough one, says Mark. “That’ll be a pretty tough assignment, they’re a pretty good side but that’ll give us a pretty good measure of where we’re at,” says Mark. The first round will go towards a trophy and then the points are dropped with the next two rounds going towards the championship. Kick off on Saturday against Nelson is at 3pm at Neale Park.
NATIONALS BOUND: Waimea College Senior A and B volleyball team members Megan Williams, 17, Zoe Walker, 17, Hana Wilkinson, 16, and Anna Hodgson, 16, were cleaning cars over the weekend to raise funds for their up-coming national tournament. The teams are going to Palmerston North from March 27 to April 1 and the trip is costing around $750 for each player and some families have two girls involved in the teams. As the teams are now training five days a week it makes it hard for the players to have part time jobs but manager of the Senior A team Mandy Whiting says the girls are working hard and this should pay off when they get to nationals.

Big chase falls short for College Waimea College's Kelvin Scoble one-day final hopes have been dashed after a heavy defeat to Stoke/ Nayland on the weekend. Chasing 333 for victory, Waimea were always behind the eight-ball and some strong bowling drained their run-rate early. United Kingdom-bound Connor Neynens was the top scorer with the bat, reach-
ing 33 runs. But he, like many of his teammates didn't last long at the crease. Waimea were eventually all out for 186 runs. Sprig and Fern WTTU also missed out on a final berth after falling short of their 208-run target in Motueka. They were eventually bowled out for 166 off the first ball of the 46th over.

Reigning champ heading to France Joel Macmillan is hoping weather man Jim Hickey can provide a good tail wind this weekend. The annual Rainbow Rage is due to run this weekend from Rainbow Valley at the head of state highway 63, through to Hanmer. Richmond teenager Joel Macmillan won the event last year and is set to go again this time around before he ventures overseas. The Rainbow Rage is the last event for the 17 year-old before he goes to France for six months. There he will be racing in a club team in Morteau, which is on the border of Switzerland. “I’m aiming to get enough category two points to move up to category one so I can start moving up the ladder.” This opportunity will give Joel more experience and will help him get a head start early next summer when he comes home to do the big South Island tours. “I’ll come back a lot stronger after having a hard season.” Joel says previous cyclists heading overseas has paved the way for keen New Zealanders.
“It makes it so much easier having those connections; they’ve proven they are good riders and making a good name for kiwis.” The experience of living and racing overseas will be good for Joel but he says he is a little scared about the prospect. Joel is looking forward to the 106 kilometre challenge provided by the Rainbow Rage. “It’s not the most scenic race but it’s the race you do every year.

RUNNER: Tapawera Area School’s Chloe Hall wins 16 plus girls 800 metres race at the recent athletics day and secures a new school record at the same time.
Records fall at TAS athletics day Twenty new track and field records were established at the Tapawera Area School secondary athletics day recently. Sixteen standing records fell, including one that had been in existence since 1992. This fell thanks to Chris Brake. Three students broke these standing records in fifteen events. Chris in Year 11 broke six, Chloe Hall in Year 13 broke five while in Year 8 Tess Haunch broke four. Chris, 15, has been a representative at the national secondary schools level for high jump.

day he jumped 1.83m, breaking the school record by 18 centimetres. Chris will be eligible to attend the Nelson secondary schools meet to be held shortly. PE teacher Stephen Haunch commented that the school needed to get a newer and taller set of high jump poles. Stephen says the students continue to be challenged by the new trophy based on house participation so are entering more events and the performance level is rising as a consequence.
