Building the town one block at a time Richmond will be getting a whole lot smaller in the coming weeks as it’s being rebuilt by a ten year-old boy.

Tommy Mortimer is recreating the town entirely out of Lego blocks to fundraise for Appleby School’s country fair on September 3.

Tommy’s father, Ian Mortimer, came up with the idea. A self-confessed Lego-holic, Tommy was excited about the prospect.

With drawers overflowing with the plastic blocks, there will be no shortage of pieces in the Mortimer household.

“I have lots and lots and lots of Lego.

I like Star Wars ones and I like making buildings,” says Tommy.

Tommy says the entrance of the Richmond Mall will be the hardest because he’s running out of glass windows “and it has lots of them.”

But it has not taken him long to get underway.

In fact, the Waimea Weekly office only took five minutes to turn in to a small scale replica.

If anyone wishes to sponsor the fair and get their business in Lego town then phone Ian on 544 6352.

The fair also includes a homebrew competition and a silent auction featuring an extensive range of prizes.

TO THE EDITOR

I was delighted to see the success of local breweries at Brew NZ and in particular that the Sprig & Fern won more awards than any other brewery in New Zealand.

While the accolades should be shared by all the team, people in the industry know that the head brewer is key to producing high quality beer of distinction. Congratulations Tracy Banner and I hope that a Warrington trained brewer of her calibre one day produces a good cask ale that local aficionados can enjoy.

The Tasman region might have some of the best trout fishing spots around, but don’t ask Nelson Trout Fishing Club president Ray Day where they are. While the Motueka River is a haven for trout fishing, a lot of the 60 odd members have their own “secret” spots where they say they catch the biggest fish. But with the season ready to begin on October 1, Ray is hoping to net more members.

Hyundai Motor New Zealand has launched another exciting model to its range - the all-new Accent hatch and sedan, further demonstrating Hyundai’s ‘New Thinking. New Possibilities.’ philosophy.

The all-new Accent hatch and sedan are positioned in the light car segment, offering modern design, surprising interior space and an abundance of comfort and safety features while maintaining the delivery of advanced technology, fuel efficiency and performance.

Following the ix35 compact SUV, i45 mid-sized sedan and recently launched Elantra compact sedan, Accent is the fourth Hyundai car to join the Australian line-up showcasing the company’s signature “Fluidic Sculpture” design language. Designed at Hyundai’s Namyang R&D Centre in Korea, the exterior lines project a futuristic, dynamic, and sleek stance, making Accent striking and distinctive at first glance.

Accent’s eye-catching sculptured lines are highlighted by Hyundai’s signature hexagonal front grille. The swept-back headlights incorporating a two-piece black bezel design and bonnet character lines provide for a unique look.

The addition of a distinguishing sculptured character line running through the side profile of Accent combined with a cab-forward design and coupé-like sweeping roof line creates the impression of a larger car. Whether in hatch or sedan form, the rear of Accent is modern and uncluttered with the wide rear bumper emphasising volume and stability. The Accent hatch is finished with a sporty looking spoiler.

The Accent hatch and sedan are powered by a 1.6-litre Gamma petrol engine. The all-aluminium four-cylinder engine delivers a peak power output of 91kW @ 6300rpm, and peak torque of 156Nm @ 4200rpm.

Testing was undertaken in Australia for the optimum front and rear suspension combination, together with unique mapping of the control unit on the Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS). The result is an enjoyable driving experience with refined dynamics to handle variable Australian road conditions.

Accent’s relatively long wheelbase contributes to a smooth ride with enhanced stability. A MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs and twin-tube gas shock absorbers provides a smooth ride and excellent road shock absorption. The rear suspension is a coupled torsion beam axle with coil springs and twin tube shock absorbers, which allows more efficient use of interior space.

All-new Accent hatch and sedan deliver the highest levels of safety, achieving a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. Outstanding occupant protection is a core element of Hyundai design with the Accent offering a comprehensive suite of advanced active and passive safety features to ensure driver and passenger confidence.

Active safety is enhanced with the introduction of a segment first Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system.

With VSM, a central ECU harmoniously integrates all the traditional active safety systems in the vehicle including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS) and Anti-skid Brake System (ABS) with Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS). VSM intervenes alongside ESC to help maintain vehicle control by applying a variable input to steering weight, helping prevent the vehicle losing control in emergency situations, such as when suddenly braking or rapidly accelerating under asymmetric (e.g. wet or slippery on one side and dry on the other) road surface conditions.

Labour MP talks tax at MDF plant

The honourable David Cunliffe made a stop-over in Nelson midweek, here to talk tax with Nelson Pine Industries Limited and King Salmon employees.

Labour’s economic package and tax plan were the main topics as he and local Labour list MP Maryan Street spoke with a group of workers in each of the company’s tearooms.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Local Civil Defence public education efforts are hitting the mark with residents in our region much better prepared for emergencies than many other New Zealand communities.

A national survey just released shows 37 per cent of Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough residents are fully prepared for emergencies compared with the a national average of just 18 per cent. Local residents are also more likely to be prepared at home for emergencies – 51 per cent compared to the national average of 32 per cent.

Nelson MP Nick Smith says he is pleased the local unemployment rate has dropped to 4.4 per cent over the past three months, despite the tight global economic environment in commenting on today’s Household Labour Force Survey statistics. It is the second lowest rate in New Zealand and is only bettered by Southland.

Apart from the odd light dusting, Nelsonians rarely have the opportunity to see snow at sea level. This goes out the window this Friday, when the region’s best skiers and snowboarders compete for glory at The Playhouse Cafe, on a custom built 20 foot rail. Doors open at 6pm with the riding starting at 6:30. All are welcome to attend the event, which is $10 on the door, and kids 14 and under with parents are allowed in free.

ples of industrial plants in the Nelson region. They are core industries in the region. I think the work force here appreciates it.”

With one eye on a possible future Labour run government, David was also getting a first hand insight in to how the companies work and their challenges. “It’s just a great chance to get an understanding about how they work and the challenges and opportunities in those industries, so that when we’re in government we can work together as partners, helping the region expand.”

David says meeting employees in their work place makes the visit “very real.”

Chiropractor wins NZ award A Richmond chiropractor was named New Zealand Chiropractor of the Year last week - an accolade that recognises his involvement with the New Zealand Chiropractors’ Association.

Dr Corrian Poelsma of Tasman Bay Chiropractic, who is also president of the association, was humbled by the award given by the Alumni Association of the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. “I’m a bit of an understated kind of guy so it felt a bit weird to be fair,” Corrian says. “At the same time, looking at it from the perspective of my wife and my kids and my staff and my colleagues, they all had to support me when I was off doing trips keeping the association going.”

Corrian was a student in the college’s first ever class in 1994. Prior to this date aspiring chiropractors had to study overseas.

Corrian is a former Waimea College student and has now been a fully qualified chiropractor for the past seven years. He graduated in 1998 and worked as a chiropractor in Napier before setting up shop back in Richmond in 2002.

The NZCA is the professional body that looks after the political side of chiropracting, lobbying to ACC and most importantly looking after its members and patients.

Despite winning the award, Corrian doesn’t expect a larger surge of patients coming in. “I think most people know that it’s a great practice and it’s always busy.”

But Corrian still finds time to juggle his practice, the association and his family. “I think the only thing I struggle with is, at times, there is so much going on in my head. It’s about making sure when you’re not at work, you’re not thinking about work.”

80 years on Rural Women going strong It may have taken four weeks in 1931 for Rural Women Brighwater founder Lily Hildyard to get her first member, but 80 years later its current members are celebrating the longevity of the group.

Rural Women New Zealand is a charitable membership organisation that supports people in rural communities through personal connections, advocacy and education and the Brightwater branch, like many others in the Tasman region, celebrated its 80th birthday recently.

First created for women in country-

side corners of Waimea, the name was changed in 1949 from The Waimea Branch of Women’s Division of the Farmers Union to the much easier on the tongue Rural Women Brightwater.

But the branch has changed considerably over the decades, according to branch president Diane Higgins.

The group no longer run dances, learn how to turn a heel of a sock or sing the national anthems at meetings. Rural Women are now an integral part of the community.

“We’re just keeping on keeping on, but the dynamics have changed,”

says Diane. “During the war they ran dances and knitted things for people in the war. Now, although we help in the community selling daffodils on Daffodil day and entertaining up at the rest home, we also have a huge presence up in Wellington advocating with the government about the things that affect in rural communities.”

Diane says it’s very important to keep a voice for the rural communities, including the current amalgamation debate.

The ladies celebrated the birthday at Tea Pot Valley on Wednesday.

Life members Annetta Hodges, Beverley Oakly, Brightwater president Diane Higgins and national president Liz Evans.

Guitar roadshow hits Nelson store Beggs Musicworks owner Tim Babbage doesn’t mind cleaning up the drool on the floor in front of his guitar display, he understands it.

“These are very, very nice guitars at the high end of the market and people have been getting very excited by them,” he says. The guitars in question form part of the Guitar Road Show, which is currently travelling the country and in Nelson for the next week. Tim says they are amazing to play and encourages Nelsonians to get down and have a try. “That’s the great thing about it, these are available to play and everyone who has played is blown away by the sound of some of these guitars.”

The guitars cost between $1500 and $4500 but some are very rare, including a Mike Stern Signature and a Joe Satriani model.

“Guitar fans are very aware of the quality, as you can see by the big drool patch on Tim Babbage, of Beggs Musicworks, with one of the guitars in the Guitar Roadshow which is touring the country. Photo: Andrew Board. the floor in front of them,” he jokes.

Richmond pair score $5000 scholarships Mall Chat...

After seeing off more than 60 aspiring entrants from Nelson and Marlborough, AMP regional scholarship winners Ryan Chisnall and Tom Filmer have set their sights on the world.

The Waimea teenagers were announced recipients of $5000 cheques from AMP Powerhouse Financial Services as winners of the company’s Do Your Thing! scholarship project, and the pair are hoping the money can kickstart already promising sporting careers.

A prize pool of more than $250,000 was invested in nation-wide talent with seven generous AMP Advisers offering regional scholarships worth up to $10,000 to extraordinary Kiwis from all walks of life with a variety of different attributes.

Ryan, who came second in the New Zealand Under-19 golf championship when he was just 14 years-old and is a former New Zealand under-15 champion, will be using the money to travel to international amateurs and parts of the New Zealand pro tour.

The 16 year-old Waimea College student has played golf the majority of his life. “I started playing in under-19 events when I was 13 and WINNERS ARE GRINNERS: AMP Scholarship recipients Ryan I’ve developed and got better and better since Chisnall, 16, and Tom Filmer, 17, at the awards night at Grape Escape there,” says Ryan, who’s career is highlighted by on Thursday evening.

Schools combine for choir of a thousand It will be the biggest show of their little lives.

Thanks to the help of Nelson Primary School Music Festival directors Paulette Nott and John Phillips more than 1200 primary school aged students from throughout Tasman and Nelson will be performing for three nights at the Trafalgar Centre next month, on September 6, 7 and 8.

Twenty one schools will be taking part, including Waimea Intermediate School, Saint Paul’s, Richmond School, Henley School, Appleby School, Wakefield School and Hope School- as well as Nelson City primary schools.

The schools will be split in to three with each group performing on the one night.

John says there hasn’t been a primary school music festival of this magnitude for some

time.

“We’ve found that kids were getting together for sport but other than a rockfest type thing at Stoke School there’s nothing for choirs, so we thought here’s a really great opportunity,” says John.

The students are equally as excited about their “big gig,” says John.

“Absolutely.

They’re excited about getting dressed up and putting hair gel in.”

Several guest artists will also be performing including national Smokefreerockquest finalists The Peasants and the string quartet La Vida.

General public tickets can be purchased from the Richmond Mall and The Rock Shop in Nelson.

Tickets are $10 for an adult, $5 for children St Paul’s students Bridgett Jones, Megan Ritchie, Tyler Marsh and with under five year- Anya Shultz singing at the Nelson Primary School Music Festival rehersal at Richmond School on Thursday. Photo: Phillip Rollo. olds free of charge.

Museum now free for locals

Nelson Provincial Museum joined a growing list of regional museums who have reduced barriers to attendance by allowing free access to regional history exhibitions for regional residents and ratepayers. Ratepayers of both Nelson City and Tasman District need only to establish their place of residence on their first visit and they will be issued a small card for future use. Museum CEO Peter Millward reported that there was a very positive response over the first weekend with nearly fifty locals signing up and most of them opted to subscribe to the monthly email newsletter.

In this way local residents will be the first to hear about new exhibitions and public programmes such as lectures and events for families and children. Temporary and touring exhibitions need to cover their costs by sponsorship and admission fees and will still have an entry charge.

Business update Family Fun Day at Tahunanui The Nelson branch of Red Cross are holding a family fun day at the Tahunanui playing fields this Sunday from 11am to 2pm and would like to invite all families in the region to come along. There will be activities for the whole family to participate in including some good old-fashioned games, a bouncy castle and food will be available. The fun day is being held to help raise the profile of Red Cross locally and to acknowledge the support that the organisation receives from the local community. “Hosting this type of event is one way that we can give back to the people who help Red Cross in our area. The fun day is open to anyone who would like to have a nice day out with their family and we would also encourage our volunteers to bring their children and grandchildren along,” says Amy Wilson from Red Cross. “We are grateful for the help we receive from local people. Volunteers were sent in response teams to the Pike River Mine and to Christchurch following the earthquakes, others regularly deliver meals on wheels, volunteer to collect donations or participate in fundraising, and many people have

donated funds. We wouldn’t be able to function without them.”

The Nelson branch of Red Cross will also be holding an Information Evening on Monday August 22 at their branch at 59 Parkers Road, Tahunanui. This evening is open to all members of the public and will kick off at 6pm with drinks and nibbles followed by a presentation providing information about the good work that Red Cross does. The Information Evening will be followed by the AGM at 7pm. “We are hoping that some people might attend the information evening and decide to get involved by joining our branch committee,” says Amy. “Becoming a committee member doesn’t always involve a lot of work. We are always looking to get new people on board, they provide a new lease of life to the committee with new ideas and inspiration. We are more about providing brain power and a bit of man power for things like collections and research on how best to help people in the community.” Committee members meet once every two months. For more information call Amy on 546 5012.

Snooker pairs ahead of the eight-ball

Club Waimea’s very own self service TAB terminal will be up and running this week.

Members would have seen a new wall being built recently, it’s now completed and just awaiting the final electronics, bits and bobs and it will be ready for use allowing members to bet on live sporting events and claim up to $200 in the Club, During the Club’s open day on August 28, the Richmond room will be set up with several different options for weddings, supplied by Got It Covered.

These genuine varieties give members and guests the perfect insight in to their special day at the Club.

Also on offer at the open day are spot prizes for members and guests, including a signed Tasman Makos jersey. You can check out all the sections and there will be a great $12 special lunch availalable.

The ClubsNZ South Island Snooker Pairs Tournament was held at the Papanui Club in Christchurch over August 4, 5, and 6.. Seven teams were entered from Club Waimea and five of these qualified for the championship itself, with all recording wins over much higher seeded opponents.

The number one team of Ian Ord and Mike Boyd romped through the qualifying rounds and won their way to the semi-finals where they came up against Alan Gill and Gary Hale from Dunedin.

This outstanding pair have dominated this tournament over recent years, and achieved their ninth victory at this 2011 event. Ian and Mike are unfortunate to have been placed in the same side of the draw as Gill and Hale in each of the last three years, and are due for a little luck to go with their obvious skills. Their third equal placing was still a great effort and better than their fifth seeding had indicated.

Nobby Yorwarth and Mark Friend played well to reach the last sixteen in the championship before falling to a team from the Richmond Club who were seeded many places above them.

Kerry Laing and Colin Bowden drew the short straw by having to meet Gill and Hale in the first round of post-section play, but they then performed well to defeat the team from Makawera before falling to a Richmond side in the last eight of the Flight competition.

Barry and Ray Weavers continued their climb up the rankings with another solid performance. They have shown a propensity to improve each year to the stage where they are a challenge to all but the very best of the teams they meet. The draw matched them against another Waimea pair, Nathan Geddes and Leigh Manson, who were at the tournament for the first time and it was the Geddes/Manson team who won this ‘local derby’ in a tight struggle.

They then proceeded to disregard the seedings to win through to the semifinals of the flight before losing to New Brighton number one.

The real surprise package from our contingent were Mike Francis and Julie Dalton, another pair competing at this level for the first time, as they fought their way right through to the final of the plate event. Up against George Robertson, a four time winner, and his partner from the Hornby Club, Mike & Julie were within one ball of taking the match to a third, and deciding, frame.

Our final pairing of Kevin Whitlow and Wayne McCausland was hastily put together following the sudden death of one of our regular squad, but they took several good scalps before bowing out on the Saturday morning.

All in all, this was an impressive showing at a tournament which involves many of the best snooker players in the South Island and which will be hosted

by Club Waimea in 2012.

It is with regret that we record the death of our long-serving secretary, and ever popular section life member, Rex Plum.

His passing leaves a huge vacuum in our ranks, and his invaluable contribution to snooker at Club Waimea is not to be forgotten.

CLUB WAIMEA NEWS Calling all cabs Ph: 543 9179

Club Waimea is calling for anyone interested in driving the courtesy van, otherwise the service runs the risk of not being able to operate.

With one month in August currently without a confirmed sober driver, Club Waimea spokesperson Rod Penn is urging drivers to stand up and help their fellow members.

The only requirements include a responsible person with a full New Zealand drivers license that can confidently operate a van. “They don’t need any license other than their standard full car license and have to be available on the weekends keeping the drunks off the road,” says Rod. The driver will be requested to remain at the Club for the duration of the shift, outside deliveries, and will recieve a free meal for their services.

It is likely the shift will run from 6pm until the Club is empty.

“Somes they will pick up but mainly just deliver people home every half an hour. During the evening they get a free meal at the restaraunt and they get the opportunity to help the club out.”

“It seems a bit strange that no one is there to drive it but everyone expects to use it. If every member took a turn they’d on;ly have to do it once every four years.” If interested, phone Rod on 544 8668.

Crystal Ball continues to surprise members There were winners and losers with the Crystal Ball last month. On July 15 winner No 43 took the $55 cash offer instead of the envelope. On July 22 winner No 53 took the envelope on offer but only won a bag of peanuts. On the 29th, winner No 59 took the $40 cash offered and missed

out on the $1,000 mystery weekend/scenic flight.

On the first week of August winner No 66 took the envelope and won the Noel Leeming prize worth $ 80. And on the 12th of August winner No 34 took the envelope and won a $90 prize donated by Southern Hospitality.

The Members draw has risen to $700 as plenty of unlucky members missed out on their winnings.

On the 14 July member No. 1296 wasn`t here so the $200 was not claimed, on the July 21 member No 243 wasn`t here either, so the $300 was not claimed, and on 28 July the trend continued

with member no 1540 also absent, so the $400 wasn`t claimed. On 4 August member No 775 wasn`t here so the $500 wasn`t claimed. On August 11 member No 1550 was not here and that means $700 is available to be won on 18 August.

Remember you must be here to win.

Welcome to our August Newsletter, We have had some great weather lately but looks like we could have another cold snap in the next few days, so keep warm.

From our Minutes this month: • BMX Track – there has been a meeting with TDC to make sure that all the safety issues around the track that are required will be taken care of. This includes the removal of stones, fencing and the sloping on the side of the track. Plans have been made to take care of this. Also, signage is to be erected and planting is to be done.

The track is to be named, so give this some thought. Let us know if you have any ideas - we hope the name will be something to do with Lord Rutherford as the track is at Lord Rutherford Park.

• Proposed Amalgamation of Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council – a good portion of our meeting was taken up with the preparation of a submission our Association will be making to the Local Government Commission. There was lively discussion about the need for so many community boards. Should all areas become wards, will this all cost us more in the long term? This led to completion of a submission ready to be sent in by 19 August 2011. We encourage everyone to put in their own submission or to at least give this whole issue some thought and be prepared to post your vote if it comes to that. Everyone needs to have his or her say.

Brightwater Playcentre now have a fabulous new deck thanks to local businesses and Playcentre families.

Thanks to Jenny and Canterbury Community Trust we were able to secure a grant and begin building a new deck. Regulations prevented us from opening the large doors over the hot summer unless we covered the concrete with every available mat from the shed. A huge thank you to Andy Hall for planning and implementing the deck, together with his crew; Dave Coltman, Hayden Stratford, Liam Hegarty and Mike Wilbourne.

After a huge effort on their part, they completed the deck over the weekend.

Also thank you to Mel for providing these hard workers with sustenance.

Brightwater Branch of Rural Women NZ turns 80!

Instead of their usual meeting the Brightwater Branch of Rural Women NZ held a celebratory lunch for their 80th birthday at Teapot Valley Christian Camp last week for past members and visitors from other Branches.

Special guests were the National President Liz Evans and Councillor Tim King.

Liz presented life memberships to Beverley Oakly and Annetta Hodges whose mother, Rachel Mansbridge, was also a Life Member of the branch. Service certificates were presented to Alexa Langford, Yvonne Wadsworth, and Dawn Batchelor. Margaret Booth’s service certificate will be presented at home.

Councillor Tim King spoke of Rural Women as having CCC, Compassion, Consistency, and Commonsense, which are needed in all situations.

Guest speaker was Camp Manager Paul Shutte, who spoke of the history and vision of the camp and the many groups, schools and organisations that use it.

A cake, beautifully iced in the new Rural Women colours, was cut by past President Lois Chisnall and past member, Margaret Palmer.

Fire at Snowdens Bush last Wednesday Smoke and flames were noticed coming from Snowdens Bush Reserve and the Brightwater Fire Brigade arrived to find a large Totara tree well alight. Three appliances attended, but the firemen were only able to partially douse the fire. They returned the next morning and with the backup of a large digger from Taylors Contractors and DOC staff the tree was felled and the fire put out. The cause of the fire is unknown. It had been burning for a considerable time. This is the third time that the fire brigade have been called to a suspicious fire in Snowdens Bush in recent years.

Waimea College Under 15 Tournament Team 2011 Waimea College has a strong history at the South Island under 15 rugby tournament. This year they return as defending champions which puts a bit more pressure on the latest team, but they are confident that they have all of the factors needed to continue Waimea’s success.

The Waimea under 15 team is made up of players from several college teams who combine to make up this age grade side. Players are departing this Saturday for the tournament which is being hosted in Alexandra this

year. The tournament runs from Monday 22 August to Wednesday 24 August and will feature school teams from all over the South Island. Coaching the side will be local rugby legend Errol Thelin; he will be assisted by Marc Berthelsen and Gus Shirley is the team manager.

It has been a big effort for the team to make it to the tournament, participating in working bees, finding sponsors and, of course, training hard. The Waimea College under 15 tournament team has traditionally been

a strong training ground for future 1st XV players and several will want to put in impressive performances at the tournament to push for a place in the top squad for 2012.

Results from the tournament will be published in Waimea Weekly.

The team would like to thank all of their supporters, families, bus driver Lenny and Suburban Bus Lines, and particularly the player sponsors featured below.

After finding themselves behind early, Joel MacManus hit back for the home side, scoring a well taken try after the forwards set a good platform despite a struggling scrum. A penalty kick further increased Stamford’s lead to seal the victory. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

While rugby is not played at Saxton Field, the two weighted divisions will be held at Greenmeadows and The Broads.

Leslie says all the 1100 students are exciting to be representing their individual schools. “For a lot of them it’s a goal that they’ve set to be in the winter tournament teams. Our [Waimea Intermediate School] reports go out next week and for a lot of these kids their goal is to win in their sport at winter tournament, so it shows what a focal point this is for a lot of these sporty kids.”

Nelson schools have all been allocated a school from outside the region and will billet their participating students.

The tournament starts on Thursday and Friday at 9:30am.

Gary Sowden Trophy 2011 NZ Secondary School Girls Football Competition

Anna Hodgson

176 Queen St, Richmond Ph 543 9225

Next week the Waimea College First eleven girls’ football team returns to the location where they tasted success the last time they competed in the Gary Sowden trophy.

A lot has changed in the time since 2007 with only one player, captain Megan Hodgson, still playing for the College.

The decision to drop from the national premier competition, where the school has competed the last 3 years, to a satellite tournament was a difficult one. The team was the top qualifier from the Nelson region after last years’ tournament and results have been promising this year with wins over both Marlborough and Nelson Girls Colleges who are heading to Taupo for the nationals. Concerns over player availability and the difficulties in making travel arrangements made the local option a more appealing idea for what is a fairly young team.

Expectations are high for the week with the 16

teams entered divided into four pools where the top two teams in each progress into the knockout phase. This year Waimea have been seeded first in a group consisting of Middleton Grange, Kaiapoi High and the Marian Girls College development team. With a number of other schools also electing to move from nationals to this tournament this year it is difficult to predict progress from that point though Waimea believe they have the players to bring the trophy home again this year.

The goal is to move back to the national premier competition within two years so a strong showing at this year’s tournament is an important step in fulfilling that goal. The College would like to thank the sponsors on this page for their assistance as well as Domino’s Pizza and the Richmond Mall for their assistance with fundraising efforts.

Local riders rip it up at club champs A huge contingent of local motocross riders did the region proud at the inaugural Nelson Motocross Club Champs recently, winning seven of the ten classes.

The Champs were held at the MotoX Events Motocross Park in 88 Valley, near Wakefield and Dan Shallcrass says it was a huge success. “It was a great d a y , SHOWERS most of SHOWERS the poSHOWERS d i u m SHOWERS places w e r e showers direct to you! grabbed by local • Complete Shower Units •

riders and it was a fantastic event for spectators.”

Dan says the event has been confirmed for next year, in late July.

Among the local winners were Jared Guthrie, who took out the MX1 class, Hamish Harwood, winner of the MX2 class and ladies winner Aleisha McLauchlan. “We have a great park out there and the amount of riders who are keen to get involved is really pleasing.”

Major sponsors of the event were Filco Farm and Sport.

Kaka Shield returns to Richmond The Kaka Shield is safely back in Richmond, surviving another year in Tapawera and another bus ride back with its victorious victors.

The Kaka Shield, one of New Zealand rugby’s oldest trophies, was played for on Sunday with Tapawera hosting Richmond in the 70th-odd playing of it.

The Junior Kaka Shield was also played for between the Tapawera and Waimea Old Boys under 9 teams. This competitive game was won by Waimea.

The original Kaka Shield, made from a kerosene tin and engraved with the words: “Kaka Shield 1923”, was first played for in Kaka the year it states.

It was played between lime workers from Sherry and railway workers from Tui (both near Tapawera). The first game featured a keg of beer on the sideline, plenty of fights and an eventual winner, Tui. The losers had made the shield the night before and engraved it with a hammer and nail.

Since then it has been put on a piece of wood – rumoured to be cut from the bottom of an old water trough out the back of the Tapawera General Store – and had dozen of gold coins and nuggets added to it. As the population of Tui and Sherry declined, the teams were moved to Tapawera and Richmond. Each year the shield is played

for with the holders hosting the game, as a rule the visiting team wins each year.

The game is played in a fun spirit and keeping with tradition, a keg of beer graces the sideline of each game with “drinks breaks” taking on a new meaning. Women and children also play and those under 35 years have to wear gumboots to even out their speed.

The shield is one of the great traditions of Nelson rugby and those who continue to keep it alive deserve to be applauded.

Next year Tapawera will make the journey to Jubilee Park and while the result may not be in doubt, neither will the fun they will have.

Semi final time for Waimea Old Boys’ thirds Now it’s business time.

Waimea Old Boys division three rugby team has gone through the regular season undefeated but this Saturday it is do-ordie, hosting a semi final against Motueka United.

Waimea are the grades defending champions and confirmed its billing at the top of the table with a strong 32-15 win over the same Motueka United team it will face this weekend, at Jubilee Park last Saturday.

In a replay of last years final, Waimea came

away with the comfortable win.

Waimea play its semi final at Jubilee Park this Saturday from 2pm, come down and cheer the boys on.

The other semi final is to be played between Marist and Stoke.

Waimea Old Boys Intermediate 2 player Misha Vercoe makes a break in his sides game against Marist at Tahunanui on Saturday.

Longjumper leaps back home with new record With a new national record in his arsenal Brendon Barnett arrived home from a successful four weeks in Europe last month, despite failing to qualify to the finals at the IAAF World Youth Championship.

Reflecting on his efforts the 17 yearold Waimea College long jumper says he “definitely” achieved what he set out to do - beat his personal best, and land a series of consistent jumps to finish at the World Championship.

A month behind where he wanted to be fitness-wise prior to the tour, Brendon managed to tick off his major goal in the lead up to the World Championship when he catapulted out to an incredible 7.31m at a hot meet in Evry, France, breaking his LEAP OF FAITH: Waimea College long own personal best jumper Brendon Barnett competes at the by more than 10cm.

Richmond romp home over title chasers Richmond Athletic have all but won the Nelson Pine Industries first division after cruising past second place Marlborough Mariners 6-0 at A&P Park in Blenhiem on Saturday.

Inspired by a hat-trick from captain Ben Wright, the win puts Richmond 11 points clear at the top of the standings, with three games in hand.

The loss of standout midfielder Jorge Donoso midweek was no deterrent as the ever-impressive Sam Mason-Smith opened the scoring after 30 minutes, with combative midfielder Nathan Jeffree and Wesley Olea also chipping in along with their skipper.

The win pushes the side closer to the impor-

tant Robbie’s Premier League promotion playoff against FC Twenty 11.

Richmond also holds a 60 goal difference over Marlborough and with just three rounds remaining they look unlikely to play their games in hand, called off due to inclement weather.

Ben says the win caps off a great season for the club. “We’ve done well all season really, so this just topped it off nicely,” he says. “They just couldn’t cope with us going forward.”

Coach Steve Bignall will be passing on all his knowledge of Christchurch based FC Twenty 11 in the coming weeks before the proposed second week of September playoff game.

Penalty Fees

Annual River Care meetings delayed

Dog Registration forms were mailed out at the end of May to all dog owners on Council’s database, with payment due by 1 July 2011. Council then allowed owners until 31 July 2011 to pay the standard registration fee.

All dogs that remained unregistered at the beginning of August have incurred a penalty fee of 50% on top of the standard urban or rural registration fee. Owners of these dogs have been sent an invoice with the penalty fee. This payment needs to be made as soon as possible.

Owners of dogs that are currently unregistered are advised to contact Dog Control at Council and register their dog(s) immediately.

Owner of any dogs that are unregistered after 01 September 2011 will be liable for a $300 Infringement Fine for each dog plus the registration and penalty fee. Your dog(s) will also be liable for seizure.

The huge workload associated with the ongoing aftermath of the December 2010 floods, awarding of a new rivers maintenance contract and a shortage of staff have led to Council’s decision to postpone the annual River Care meetings.

It is planned that River Care groups will meet in October-November 2011, where this year’s programme and plans for the 2012/2013 year will be discussed. We will also provide an update on the flood repair programme and introduce our new contractor.

The meetings will be advertised in the Nelson Mail, local weekly newspapers and on Council’s website www.tasman.govt.nz If you have any queries about river care, please contact Rick Lowe at MWH, Ph. 03 546 0673.

Tasman-Nelson Environment Awards 2011 Roadside Spraying Contractors employed by New Zealand Transport Agency undertake an ongoing vegetation control programme to ensure that roadside vegetation does not affect the safety or operation of the region’s state highway network.

This programme includes the spraying of chemical herbicides including the following active ingredients: Glyphosate, Metsulfuron, Terbuthy-lazine and Triclopyr.

Persons wishing to register their property as a ‘no-spray’ zone, which requires a commitment to maintain a property’s highways frontage to specifications provided by NZTA, may do so by contacting Donna Hills or Stephanie Lawlor on Ph. 03 548 1099 at Opus Inter- national Consultants, c/- Private Bag 36, Nelson.

Vegetation Control – Roadside Spraying in Rural Areas Registration of Non-Spray Areas Tasman District Council’s roading maintenance contractor is responsible for vegetation control within the road reserve. This includes the use of knock-down, residual and brushweed herbicides to remove vegetation growing in the roadway and around street furniture. The contractor is also responsible for control of pest plants and other noxious weeds such as gorse, fennel, hemlock, blackberry, broom, bracken, purple pampas grass and box thorn.

Residents can request that their rural property frontage not be chemically sprayed and instead undertake the vegetation control themselves. On approval Council will mark the “no spray” area with red marker pegs.

Rural residents who choose the “no spray” option must control the vegetation growth along their property frontage to ensure road users are not impeded and all roadside signs and markers are clearly visible. Vegetation height should not exceed 300mm. Any stormwater drainage ditches need to be kept clear of excess vegetation. At intersections vegetation must be kept well clear to ensure good sight lines for traffic using the intersection.

If you wish to apply for your property to be added to the “no spray” list, please contact Robyn Scherer, Engineering Secretary, Tasman District Council, Ph. 03 543 8524 or e-mail robyn.scherer@tasman.govt.nz
