Staff to go at Salisbury Salisbury School is to shed up to 12 staff members before Christmas, says its principal. The move comes as the government pushes to get more special needs students into mainstream schooling, dropping the number of students enrolled at the school. Salisbury School, in Richmond, can cater for 80 special needs students from all over New Zealand. Currently it has 68 pupils on its roll but principal Brenda Ellis says only 45 are enrolled for next year; the drop in numbers means between 10 and 12 residential staff will be made redundant. The teaching staff will remain unaffected. Brenda says the school is looking towards a bright future, but with more students being integrated into mainstream schools, they will have to look at how they adapt to support other schools. The government policy to bring more special needs students into mainstream schooling was started around a decade ago by the Labour government. Maitai School is another specialist special needs school, but its principal Diane Whyte says its roll is growing and the school is evolving to supply support to other schools. “At the moment we are providing support for five students in mainstream schools and we can see that growing. It’s an area where we can offer our specialist skills,” she says. Brenda was upbeat about the future of Salisbury; she says it’s never nice to lose staff but the school was remaining positive. She says next year’s roll could still grow. Redundancies will be made before the Christmas break “so families have some certainty”, says Brenda.

A foot in the right direction Phillip Rollo Tom Stringer has two reasons to attack the track this season. The Waimea College runner is hoping a national medal and a sub 3 minute 56 second 1500m can put him in the shop window for a US College scholarship. Tom, who represented New Zealand during the cross country season, is now Nelson’s premier middle distance runner and will get one major hit out at the Harold Nelson Classic on November 26, before tackling New Zealand’s best secondary school athletes in December. Tom’s current 1500m personal best is 4 minutes 1 second, but he’s confident of getting that time down before the season’s end. “I’m probably in the best shape I’ve been in so I’m reasonably confident,” says Tom. Tom earned silver in the 1500m at the New Zealand Track and Field Championship at the start of the year and puts all of his success down to National Academy of Long Distance Running head coach Greg Lautenslager. In a regular week Tom will clock up between 50 to 100 kilometres in ON TRACK: 1500m runner Tom Stringer is hoping a personal best, along with a training. medal at the New Zealand Secondary School Athletics Championship, will see him Tom started the season with a win in pick up a college scholarship from the United States.

Fallen soldiers remembered
LETTERS
The 161 Waimea soldiers killed in World War I were commemorated on Armistice Day at the Richmond Town Hall on Friday. The 1914-18 Roll of Remembrance was read out by members of the Richmond-Waimea Returned and Services Association in front of a crowd of former soldiers and their distant families, bringing home the scale of the destruction. Armistice Day marks the truce signed between the Allies and Germany at the end of the First World War, and it went into effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. The Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade siren marked the exact moment.

With reference to your “Street Talk” section in last week’s Waimea Weekly; a big yay for fireworks and long may we continue to enjoy them. But I believe that we should have access to them as part of our New Year’s Eve celebrations, rather than to keep on “celebrating,” or probably more correctly, commemorating Guy Fawkes Day. When you stop and think about it, what on earth are we commemorating? Is it a cautionary tale for us ordinary folk, to know our place and not challenge authority - or is it a cautionary tale for politicians, to know their place, just in case one of us is rather more competent than poor old Guy? Either way, it is all rather horrible, and just doesn’t make much sense anymore. So back to my point, that it makes perfect sense to me to enjoy our fireworks on New Year’s Eve - think Chinese
New Year celebrations - fireworks, dragons, and even more fireworks. And please don’t mention that you are saving some fireworks (under the bed) from Guy Fawkes Day for the New Year, because your insurance company is going to have a heart failure and void your insurance. So we will need a law change to enable us to purchase fireworks for a couple of days prior to the New Year - what do your readers think? Is there enough interest to start a petition or something? And I don’t really mind if there are some who want to keep on “celebrating” Guy Fawkes Day to help keep our politicians honest - goodness knows we need all the help we can get! Yours faithfully, Trevor Gately, Richmond. What do you think? Email editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz with your views.

It’s been a tough year for Chris’ electorate, with the Pike River Mining tragedy last year but despite the horrific loss Chris says mining will not only benefit the coast, but the whole country. “We did a survey recently and there is hundreds of billions of dollars worth of minerals on the West Coast. We need to get it, the country needs it. People ask ‘is that part of your agenda?’ I say ‘yes’, It’s stupid not to use them.” Chris says there is also copper, silver, coal, gold and chalks on the coast, as well as rare earth, which is crucial for batteries for mobile phones and laptop computers. The only other major deposits are in China and they have stopped exporting it.
The West Coast has hundreds of billions of dollars worth of minerals ready to be mined, including many so rare they are only found in a few places in the world, says West Coast-Tasman MP Chris Auchinvole. Chris, speaking to Waimea Weekly in the build up to this month’s general election where he is hoping to hold off the challenge of Labour’s Damien O’Connor, says the coast has an exciting future, lead by the mining industry. The West Coast-Tasman area is the largest geographical electorate in the country, spanning from the south of the West Coast to Golden Bay. The electorate also includes Murchison, Tapawera, Wakefield and Mapua.

School fair a huge success
Not even the overcast sky could dampen the spirits of the hundreds of families that flocked to Richmond School’s Gala. The air was filled with the clear young voices of the various live acts, projected through speakers all over the grounds, as far as the back field where grinning children enjoyed the hot rods and chair-o-plane. The jumping castles never had a still moment, always filled with bouncing boys and girls. No one missed out, with three castles there was plenty of space for all. The slide castle proved especially popular, kids slipping and tumbling down every moment. Shaylee Manson, Zachary Cornelisen, Laura Lane and Zoe Russell at the Richmond Horse rides and Ewings animal petting zoo School gala. Photo: Rosie Thomsen. were much loved, and parents were im-
pressed with the gala as well as the school. “It’s really nicely done,” says Janine Lyall, as her two daughters held two small cheeping chicks, “We really love it here, really love the school. They have good leadership, good values.” Amy Corneilson, who attended with her son, says the gala was “one of the best we’ve been to.” The gala raised $20,000 after expenses to put towards the extension to the junior playground. The organisers say they are thrilled with the result; the total needed was surpassed, meaning that the school can begin planning to upgrade the middle school playground as well.

Scooters survive... just They survived on their scooters and after a couple of weeks to reflect, promise they will be back for 2012. The Survivor Scooter Challenge took 10 riders from Marlborough’s back country across Nelson’s toughest tracks and to the rugged West Coast – all on scooters worth a couple of hundred dollars. The ride aims to raise money and awareness for Project KPH, a charity for ill children, and at the same time give riders the time of their life. The three day challenge collected more than $700 during the ride, making a total of $4000 for the charity. All but two of the scooters made it to the Greymouth Motorcycle Street races for the two display laps.

Bikers en route for poker run
Toy Library gets new addition Thanks to a new relationship with Porse, the Richmond Waimea Toy Library has a brand new ride-on toy. Porse is an in-home childcare service, and one of its educators Nicole Andrews says the donation is just another step is building strong ties with the Toy Library. Librarian Annett Todt says she was a little scared that people have forgotten the Toy Library exists. The Toy Library – which is a non-profit organisation – is a much cheaper alternative to buying toys with members being able to rent items for around 50c to $7. All the toys are good quality too, says Annett, because they need to be durable. “Most families have a tiny budget and it’s a great opportunity,” she says. “Kids do get bored so why not hire it and have it for a fortnight?” She was grateful for the donation.
Hundreds of motorcyclists will hit the road this Saturday as the inaugural Route 6 poker run roars through Tasman. The poker run will commence from the Stables Bar & Restaurant at 10:30am and will head to five different destinations before finishing at the Sprig & Fern at approximately 4pm. More than $2000 worth of prizes are up for grabs in categories such as best bike, youngest and oldest rider, as well as a tonne of booby prizes and of course the prize for the rider with the largest deck at the end of the day. Prizes will include motorcycle gear and cash prizes. Riders will get a card at each stop and the person with the best hand at the end of the day is the winner. Riders are recommended to be registered by 10am. Entry is $10 per motorbike, which also covers a barbecue at the Sprig & Fern. Club captain Richard Eddington says it’s a “good social event,” and encourages anyone to join in.

Top teams battle it out A record number of teams took to Saxton Field to see who was number one in the third annual Bowater Motor Group Top Team. The event runs in three heats with Sunday’s second heat at Saxton Field. Other heats are in Motueka and Murchison. Nelson team Abyss Challengers won the heat, earning the right to feature in the final at Moutere Hills on December 11, along with Brightwater Engineering, the Honest Cheats and NBS. In the junior catergory the winners were Nelson Intermediate School followed by the Raco Rascals from Brightwater, third and fourth were Waimea Intermediate School teams Bananas in Pajamas and the Blurples. The Richmond School Tigers finished fifth place, a great effort for a primary school team, says organiser Hayden Bryant, of Sport Tasman.
Hayden says the event was a huge success and seems to have grown bigger and bigger each year since its inception in 2009. “We had three more teams than last year, no major injuries and everyone had a great time, so it was an outstanding day,” he says. Nelson Intermediate won the junior section in the event, which featured six new games from last year. Included in the new events were the waka challenge where competitiors had to lay logs on the ground enabling their wooden waka to get across the grass, the derby race, gumboot relay, and carrying a bucket with holes in it on a wooden pole. Hayden says some of the new games were quite the challenge for teams struggling with the physicality. “The waka one was quite hard I think. Probably the horse one too because that used a lot of strength, it probably wasn’t that comfortable either.”

optimum nourishment is the quality and efficiency of the most important organ in the body: the brain. Brain control is essential for healthy muscle and joint action, whether it’s the demands of gardening or running a marathon. Specialised training is required to accurately assess and correct faulty joint motion, including ‘passive’ motion. The techniques used are subtle and comfortable, and performed correctly, are longlasting. Unfortunately, passive
joint motion is not corrected by exercise. Clyde’s practice was established in Richmond in 1975. He is an honours graduate from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in the Midwest of the United States, and was involved in electronics in New Zealand for six years prior to his chiropractic studies. His interest in chiropractic was the result of a horse riding accident in his youth and later experiences with his wife’s severe allergies.

Indoor bowls had a good year, with the local team winning two titles in the Ladies Nationals. The team of 10 has been nominated for the team category of the Sportsperson of the Year awards, and have been announced as finalists. Players from the Club also competed in the Masters Games, taking out a handful of medals. A new season will begin in February next year. Dawn Smith, who organises the euchre card games, says they’re going extremely well. Twelve players took part in the Masters Games, winning 18 medals. They have their big tournament this Sunday, with 13 teams of eight from Club Waimea and surrounding clubs coming along. There are many sports to get involved with at Club Waimea. These include darts, pool, snooker and Texas Hold’em Poker, as well as fishing, golf and squash. Some of them have finished for the year but the organisers are always looking for new players; contact the Club to find out how to get involved and for more information.
Crystal Ball $1000 to be won
Find your fortune at the Crystal Ball, with magnificent prizes up for grabs. You could win the top prize, worth $1000, which is either a mystery weekend or a local scenic flight. On October 21 winner No. 13 took the $50 cash offered. On October 28 winner No 23 took the $25 that was offered and missed out on the top prize. Winner No 78 turned down $85 on November 4, choosing the envelope instead and winning a bag of pork crackle. On November 11, the holder of the winning No 34 ticket wasn’t present so received the consolation prize of $25. Grab a ticket in the coming Crystal Ball to try your fortune.
Calling all members
Club Waimea would like to ask for the assistance of members to help regulate who is entering the Club. It is important that we adhere to the Visitors and Guests rules adopted at the 2011 AGM, as well as the Liquor Licensing Law. Members are asked to sit outside the Club’s doors and check who may be entering your club; if enough people are willing to give a little time on a Friday or Sunday the load can be spread. This way you will only be required to do an hour or two once or twice a year, and we can ensure the continued quality of entrants to the Club. Please come to the Club office to record your name and time preference if you are willing to help out.
The Red Hatters show off their fashion at the Melbourne Cup Celebrations. Valda Holland, Charlie Baker, Joan Smith, June Holland, Rae Peattie, Jenny Shuttleworth, Valerie Barnes, Kate Biggs, Lesley Currie and Gwen Wills are part of the over 50’s women’s group that get together for social events, wearing red hats and purple clothing. They are looking for new members; call Valda on 547 4905 for more information or to join.
Member wins $1700 in weekly draw On October 20 member No 481 wasn’t present to claim $1600. The following week Vince Taylor, member number 1072, was present to claim the $1700. He says that being on a pension, the money is a huge relief; “When I went up to claim it, I had to have another handle! It’s made quite a difference. It’s come in very, very handy.” Following Vince’s exciting win, the Board has increased the starting value to $500 and capped the prize at $1500. November 3 the prize began again at $500, and member No 239 was not at the club and missed out. The prize was $600 on November 10 and member No 1041 wasn’t present to claim it. On November 17, the prize will be $700, will you be the lucky winner? Take the advice of the latest winner, Vince; “someone’s gotta win, and you’re there with a chance, so that’s it. You’ve got to be there.”

It was a great day to be at the Club, say attendees, who enjoyed other activities such as the Club Waimea Spring Races and the Fashion in the Fields, with many members looking fit to be at the event itself. The Funny Money was a hit, with members ‘betting’ on their pick in the two races, the Waimea

Saxton Oval Pavilion Celebrating the Opening
Tasman District Council supporting regional development PROUD TO BE THE MAIN CONTRACTOR FOR THE NEW SAXTON OVAL PAVILION The Team at Scott Construction would like to congratulate the Nelson City Council on their exciting new sports facility.
After several years of planning and nine months of construction, the new Saxton Oval Pavilion threw open its doors last Friday to an outstanding reception. The ribbon cutting took place at 10.30; amongst the attendees were Nelson City Council Mayor, Aldo Miccio, and Tasman District Council Deputy Mayor, Tim King. The new facility will be home to representative cricket, athletics and football, and the spacious and modern interior, complete with
a bar and kitchen, will also be available for functions and meetings. The striking and innovative design came from the Nelson based firm, Arthouse Architecture. Brian Riley, the chief architect on the project, says that the inspiration for the design came from the sports themselves; the shape of the building is a reflection of the athletics oval and cricket oval that it overlooks. Built to international requirements and regulations, the intention is to
A special thanks to all of our Sub Contractors for their extra efforts, which contributed to the successful completion of this project on time. Developing community driven, owned and used facilities

Saxton Oval Pavilion Celebrating the Opening have high profile sport held at the pavilion. The cricket oval meets NZ Cricket’s guidelines for first class matches, as does the building itself, which has also been designed to meet all the requirements for athletics meetings and National League football competitions. Councillor Pete Rainey, of Joint Portfolio Holder Community Services, says “The iconic architectural design and construction has taken into account the shared nature of the facilities, and the particular needs of the three sporting codes. When we see this building on televised games in future we’ll know it’s Nelson.” Justin Candish, the main contractor from Scott Construction, says they are extremely proud of the building; “We would like to congratulate the combined councils and cricket and athletics on their vision for the site. We really enjoy a challenge and wanted to be involved with this project from its conception. It’s not often a project
of this complexity and profile comes along.” He acknowledges the subcontractors and suppliers for their expertise and support, and also gives credit to the good working relationship with Arthouse Architecture and the CDT Consultants for helping deliver the project on time and on budget. Scott Construction was founded in 1970 by Kevin Scott who currently holds coownership with Justin. The building houses international standard facilities, with covered walkways extending from each end to the function space in the centre, which overlooks the football field and cricket pitch. Additional spectator seating is provided in the form of ramps and terraced seating. There are three unisex changing rooms, two of which can be split in half to provide separate areas, the third for referees. The facility is expected to be a draw card for many international sporting events.

Welcome to our November Newsletter, Here we are about 6 weeks from Christmas – where has this year gone? Time passes far too quickly sometimes. We had our meeting recently so here are a few items you might find of interest: We finalised our list of priorities for the TDC 10 Year Strategic Plan and have sent our list off to them. We look forward to having further input later this year and early next year. The BMX track will be completed soon. Rua Sargent is organising one more days work with a digger which will finish it off and then we can hold a working bee and you can all come and help tidy it up and make it a place all BMXers will want to come to. The TDC are going to help with plantings and maybe a picnic table or two. Watch out for notice of the working bee. The Mural is well underway. Marie Greeks and Pauline Coy have put in many hours on this, along with Pinegrove Kindergarten children, Brightwater School children and other helpers from the community. We are pleased to welcome Rachael Fifita as our “On the Brightside” co-ordinator. If you have any items for our newsletter you can reach Rachael at fifita4fun@xtra.co.nz or phone 5422325. She will be pleased to help you with this. We will be buying some more Christmas lights this month so expect the village green to look a little brighter at Christmas time, let us know if you would like to help put them up. Perhaps you could put up some lights at your place – we could really light up Brightwater. On that note, our last meeting for the year will be on 6 December at 7.30pm at the Brightwater School Staffroom. See you there, everyone is welcome. Your Community Association

For the last year or two Wanderers Sports Club have talked about placing a barrier around the edge of the car park to prevent vehicles having access to the grass areas and causing damage to the cricket wicket. With the generous donation of 6 large trees by Frank (pictured) from Frank’s Trees in Golden Hills Road we are now able to take some action. Following the planting of the trees we will be holding a working bee to erect a post barrier with built in seating, providing a lovely spot for our sports supporters to sit.

Tigers ready to seek revenge Phillip Rollo Last week Dale Ewers said the Nelson Tigers needed to realize that just turning up wouldn’t guarantee victory over the less fancied Christchurch Glen Eagles. He was right. With a slippery Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Speedway track giving the Nelson drivers a hard time, Canterbury’s Nick Selfe seemed invincible in trying circumstances and led race one early, as the Tigers fell one by one. Nick crossing just under ten seconds head of Dale – the only Nelson driver to finish inside the top four. Canterbury Glen Eagles headed down the Lewis Pass with an unlikely win. But the Tigers will be SMASHED: Nelson Tiger’s Dale Ewers drives Christchurch Glen Eagles Peter Fields into the wall seeking revenge in the second leg of during the first leg of the McCall Trophy at Nelson’s Tahuna Beach Holiday Park Speedway on the McCall Trophy hits Woodford Saturday night.

A win in Christchurch would hand the trophy back to Nelson after a new rule was put in place by the Glen Eagles that states the current race winner earns the trophy. Dale, the current 1NZ, says Saturday’s loss was a big wake up call and that the team will be better for it. “Our boys were blocking in the wet, when they should’ve been blocking in the dry. I think it’s been bloody good for us and we’ve learnt a lot more out of losing that race than if we had have won,” he says. A team meeting was held Tuesday morning, but the tactics are unlikely to be discussed until later in the week, before hitting the track on Saturday. “You don’t want to over think it.” Nelson’s next meeting is on Saturday, November 26, when the Tasman Thunder stockcar team host the Greymouth Grizzlies. prentice with the old RadioShack squad for part of the year.

Teammates set to square off at awards Only centimeters have separated Scott Green and Murchison’s Mitchell Horner since they took up rowing five years ago. The Nelson College duo have won the under-18 double sculls and the under-18 quadruple sculls at the prestigious Maadi Cup and finished fourth at the Junior World Championship in Eton, England, where they were half of the New Zealand junior quadruple scull. But for the first time since their rugby days, Scott and Mitchell will be lining up against each other at the NZCT Nelson Sportsperson of the Year awards, following their selection as finalists in the Junior Sportsman of the Year category. But how do you separate two athletes that have competed as a team for five years, sitting just centimeters away from each other in the same boat, busting their gut for each other and their success? Well if you ask them, the answer is; “you can’t.” The pair are also a finalist for Junior Sports Team of the Year, in the Nelson College coxed quad, which was more expected than the individual accolade. “I thought we’d have a shot at the team one but I didn’t think we’d be selected for the individual stuff. We’re generally working together,” says Scott. “I don’t know how they’d separate us because we’ve done the same stuff. It’d be hard to pick the winner.” Scott and Mitchell make up a fourstrong category that also features sprinter Alex Jordan and motorcyclist Hamish Harwood. Every other
category has three finalists. Scott says it is great to be named as a finalist after a long season on the water, which saw them head to the world championship in Eton and win two national titles. “I suppose after you get the victory and you get over the whole ‘cool we won,’ there’s all that other stuff that comes with it. So it’s nice to be recognized.” Scott and Mitchell formed the New Zealand junior quad alongside two Auckland rowers, their familiarity giving the team plenty of chemistry before the races even began. After leading for half of the world championship final, they were pegged back by the three other teams, leaving Mitchell and Scott “devastated.” But Scott says the pair will be better from the experience. “It was awesome. You didn’t really know what to expect because you’ve never really done that type of racing yet. But to be able to compare against the world, and to see all the other cultures, it was good to just see where we are and where we can improve.” Scott and Mitchell will both be attending Otago University next year where they are likely to pair up again for the rowing season. But first on the agenda is the NZCT awards night in December. Scott says they will be proud no matter who claims the individual accolade, even if the judges vote in favour of one of the rowers. “At the end of the day we’re mates and if your mate does something well then you congratulate him.”

Temporary Reservation of a section of the Wairoa River for logging operations between 14 November and 2 December 2011

Your views will help guide the Regional Transport Committee’s decision-making prior to the final Passenger Transport Plan being adopted in January 2012. The proposals are contained in two documents: •
A summary which was included in 4 November 2011 issue of Newsline of Newsline was circulated to all households in the Tasman District.
•
The full document which outlines in greater detail the services the Council is intending to provide along with how they will be funded.

•
Takaka Office, 78 Commercial Street, Takaka

Murchison Office, 92 Fairfax Street, Murchison
Pursuant to provisions of the Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw, the Tasman Harbourmaster has granted a temporary reservation of a 250m section of the waters of the Wairoa River adjacent to the picnic area 300m north of the junction of Old Mill Road and Wairoa Gorge Road, for logging operations, between 5:30 am and 4.00 pm on weekdays between 14 November and 2 December 2011.
