Dam must stack up financially Tasman District Council will seek verbal submissions to its annual Long Term Draft Plan this week, with funding for the Lee Valley Dam remaining one of the contentious issues. TDC received nearly 900 submissions by the time the submission period closed last week, with the majority of those highlighting issues towards the proposed dam’s funding. Other main subjects within the submissions were the Saxton cycleway, the Riwaka to Kaiteriteri road, Tasman’s Great Taste Cycle Trail, and the Takaka Aerodrome. With Nelson City Council cutting its funding towards the Lee Valley Dam, opinion seems mixed on how the project can be fully funded. Discussions around the funding could continue for years, says Tasman District deputy
mayor Tim King. But he expects it to be the hot topic when the verbal submissions are heard this month. The Lee Valley Dam will cost $42 million but some irrigators and producers are not prepared to pay huge fees for owning land that will need irrigation. Land owners in the Waimea Plains may be forced to fork out $550 per hectare, per year. The current proposal is for a 52 meter high dam designed to store 13 million cubic meters of water, servicing 7760 hectares of land and providing environmental flow in the river. Dennis Cassidy, a pip fruit grower in Red Wood Valley, says the Lee Valley Dam is a must, but with 20 per cent of his land dedicated to peone flowers that do not need irrigated, he is bemused at why he would need to pay for SEE ON PAGE 2

years. It might just be for two hours on Poppy Day, but Laura says she enjoys socialising with her friends and teaching the history of the war to younger generations. Her efforts have also seen her become a patron of the Waimea RSA Women’s branch, of which she is a foundation member. Laura’s husband Jim Trigger fought
in Egypt in World War II. While he was away, Laura worked for St John Ambulance and later went on to work at the boarding hostel at Salisbury School. She says ANZAC Day will be all about remembering Jim and has already organised a spot outside Paper Plus in the Richmond Mall to sell her poppies. Poppy Day is this Friday.

“I’m voting the Richmond way, so against amalgamation. Just listening to other people and basically I think we’re a little bit more stable.”
“So far I’d say for amalgamation. I don’t see the point in doubling up.”
Waimea Village working on halting fee increase Behind-the-scenes work is on going to stop a massive fee increase says the chair of the Waimea Village Residents Committee. Jerry Rowland says the committee is working hard to make sure the fee increase issue is solved “once and for all”. In January Michael and Carolyn Wright, owners of Waimea Village, proposed to raise the monthly fee residents pay from $125 to $284. Residents called foul and have since protested on the street and told the
Wrights they will not pay for an increase they say is “unfair”. The Wrights have appointed an arbitrator to rule on the dispute but the residents committee is hoping to avoid that process as it costs around $80,000 and they just went through it a year ago when the fee was put at $125 from $80. “We are still working through the process,” says Jerry. “But we are very humbled with the huge amount of support we have received from residents and members of the community.”

Suzanne Horncastle, Richmond. “I need to look into it more. If it’s for unity then I’d vote for amalgamation but if it’s just a money issue then I’d vote against.”
“There should be more money put into protecting the environment and into bio-diversity. Whoever does that will get my vote.”
Dam must stack up financially FROM PAGE 1 water he is not using, especially in a tough economic climate. But Tim says that it is impossible to know what crops different farmers will grow in the future and the funding in 2015 must account for the beyond the present time. Because the majority of the costs will be a fixed fee, it is integral that the money is paid by everyone. The money, however, is not likely to be required until 2015. Dennis is chair of the Delta Zone, part of the Waimea Water Augmentation Committee. He firmly believes the dam must go ahead and says NCC still have time to put their offer back on the table, labelling it as a “political trick” around the time of an amalgamation vote. “They’ll want water in 20 years and there’s only one place they’re gonna come. It perhaps is a reason for amalgamation, but it’s a nasty trick at a time where the whole region needs to be working together to get a security of water,” says Dennis.

If the dam does not go ahead, there will be other measures taken to assure water usage is lowered. That could result in irrigators being forced into watering just 50 per cent of their crop. “That is going to have a major economic impact. Having said that, it has to stack up as an affordable project for everyone that is paying,” says Tim. “It’s all fixed cost, there’s only a small amount that will go towards the running of it. So if someone doesn’t pay, that has to be passed on to someone else. We can’t carry a shortfall.” Tim says the feedback from the submissions indicates most people want TDC to work on the Lee Valley Dam; they just want the costs finalised. “They just want it stacked up financially. We’ve got that loud and clear anyway.” The first of the verbal submissions will be heard on April 23 at the Council Chambers from 1pm to 4:30pm. The council will consider all submissions to aid the final decision-making to have the final Long Term Plan released before 30 June. Copies can be found in all TDC libraries.

Man delivers daughter at home
Mia Redwood was born in safe hands last week – her father’s. James Redwood can go one further than the majority of other dads, delivering his own daughter at his Richmond home. When his wife Sarah Redwood started getting contractions at 5:40am last Saturday morning, it was decided that she better get to the hospital immediately. James called the midwife and said to meet at the Nelson Hospital. But then everything seem to happen in fast forward for the Redwoods as Sarah went into labour just moments later, before they could make it out of the house. The baby
was coming and it was coming now. James was going to have to deliver his new baby daughter himself under his own roof. His immediate reaction was to think back to medical courses he had been on, but it was only a midwife on the other end of his cellphone that could provide him with all of the right information during the birth. It was a quick process for Sarah however. There were no complications during the birth, only the phone call to the midwife disconnecting halfway. James and Sarah, along with first daughter Ava, were holding Mia just two hours after the contractions started occurring every ten minutes. Mia weighed 8.6 pounds when she was born. “We thought we had a wee while to go when we had called the midwife and the babysitter,” says Sarah. “As we were getting ready it was all over.” All that was needed now was a quick call back to the midwife to say the baby had been born. James was not aware of anyone else that had delivered their own child at home. “It is pretty cool but I think other people think it’s more exciting than what we do. It’s kind of a strange one. It is neat to be able to say you delivered your own daughter,” he says. But the Richmond couple admit that when/if child number three comes along then it will be back to the hospital. “We wouldn’t plan to do it like that again, no. But it wasn’t a bad experience either. We were just lucky that it went really well. If there had been a complication we would’ve been in trouble, but the midwife wasn’t far away.” Another perk about the home birth, James carried on hanging curtains when it was all over. “It’s nice just to be in the comfort of your own home afterwards.”
NEW ADDITION: James and Sarah Redwood, along with two year old Ava, celebrate the arrival of new-born Mia last week. Mia was born at home after Sarah’s pregnancy happened early than expected.

Tasman mayor coughs up for flyer breach Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne has admitted fault in the anti-amalgamation flyer the Tasman District Council sent to its ratepayers two weeks ago, throwing the result of this month’s poll in doubt. Richard says he will pay back the $3088.14 the flyer cost but Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio, also the representative of electors for the issue, says if current poll for amalgamation falls over, the courts could rule to overturn it or declare it invalid. Last week the Auditor General ruled that the flyer, sent out in the TDC’s Newsline

The poll on whether or not the two councils should amalgamate closes this Saturday at 12noon.

Donated possum traps LETTERS TO THE EDITOR come from far and wide Phillip Rollo
A 13 year old Belgrove possum hunter has received around three separate donations of possum traps after his were stolen in Pretty Bridge Valley a fortnight ago. Isaak Guyton regularly traps possums with his father near their family home. Isaak sells the fur to make pocket money. But one day when Isaak and his father went to check on the traps, 17 of the 20 were missing. The possum traps that were stolen had been a Christmas present. Following an article in the Waimea Weekly a fortnight ago, Isaak has received close to 30 possum traps from three different people. A man from Culverden was one of the donators, saying he had read the story and was keen to pass them on. Another of the donators was a pos-
sum monitor. The third person was one of his father’s workmates. “I’m quite pleased that there were some nice people out there that would do that,” says Isaak. “After we got the paper, the day after a guy from Culverden rung up and said he wanted to donate me some traps.” Isaak says he contacted Waimea Weekly because he wanted his original traps returned. But he has been overwhelmed with the response. He was quick to make the most of his new traps and caught 15 possums on the weekend. He was unlikely to return to the same spot that his original traps were stolen from. “I was going to keep doing it anyway, but I was going to have to save up and buy some more traps. So hopefully nobody steals them. It’s a real shame the person that took them hasn’t come forward.”

As the the amalgamation vote draws to a close I am moved to ask a few questions. It is unfortunate that our society’s historical memory is so short because had we greater memory of the past we would almost certainly not consider amalgamation. Are people aware that many years ago New Zealand was run by Provincial Councils which were then divided up later to allow people to have greater input and control over community decisions? Have there been any truly meaningful savings or improvements from the last round of amalgamations (Murchison, Golden Bay, Motueka becoming TDC)? Are people aware that Auckland (and Christchurch due to the rebuild issues) is listed as a risk to the affordability of housing in New Zealand due to it’s size and domination of housing in the Auckland region? Does anyone really believe that a larger bureaucracy will be more efficient and cost effective? Really? Has that ever happened in the history of democracy? We are talking about bureaucracy here! Did any of the ‘Think Big’ projects of the Muldoon era deliver the promised outcomes? How many of the promotors of amalgamation are truly trustworthy? How many are not trustworthy at all, based upon recent evidence? Finally do you really want the democratic system to be heavily influenced by not one but two, nonelected advisory panels? Is that democracy at all? Shouldn’t those boards also be elected? Think carefully before you vote. A yes vote has very serious implications for democracy and efficiency that may not be the touted or expected outcomes. Kelvin Woodley, Tasman.
Actors still needed Two budding movie makers are still on the look out for more actors to be in their film. Garin College students Alexei D’Ath and Jake Robinson have set about making their first ever film because of their passion for multi-media. Alexei has spina bifida and intends to use actors and actresses with disabilities in the majority of the roles. They are still after a boy who is in a wheelchair preferably aged between 12 and 15. They are also in need of anyone willing to play his older brother. Please contact Alexei D’Ath on alexeidath@gmail. com if you are interested to be in the film.

TDC office upgrade on track for September completion The TDC offices on Queen St in the heart of Richmond have been in construction since the end of last year and are on track to meet their deadline. The December flooding held construction back one week when the project started but that has since been recovered by Gibbons Construction’s builders as it looks set to be finished in September. The upgrade will give the TDC office building a new improved entrance with the customer service area moving towards the front.

In the past few years, TDC has had to move staff off site because of growth. If amalgamation does not go ahead, the Tasman District Council offices upgrade should keep until 2020 before it needs another one. If amalgamation does happen, or if TDC is required to take on any more services, then it should be able to cope, but may need further upgrades. TDC property manager Jim Frater says the current stage is re-framing and work on the roof is likely to start within the next few weeks.
ON COURSE: The Tasman District Council office building on Queen St is set to meet its September deadline. It is currently in a re-framing stage before work is done on the roof. The upgrade will give the building a new entrance with customer servives moving to the front.

Eight troops from the Nelson/Tasman region attended the Founder’s Day camp in February. There they had to compete for a range of trophies, with the overall winning cup going the way of Wakefield, giving them the chance to represent the region in Christchurch.

One of our stores is having a birthday…. Barkers turns 40 this year! As many of you know Barkers holds a special place for me, and the many customers I got to know. On Saturday, a shopping exhibition was apparently needed and our daughter, who is currently home from varsity for the holidays, decided that she and her dad needed to do a Barkers shop. New jeans and stylish shirts were purchased and both were commenting to me later how incredibly helpful the manager Lynley was, making the whole experience genuinely enjoyable. Barkers is proud to be the official formalwear supplier to the All Blacks. With superb quality merino suiting, two-ply cotton shirts and fine silk ties, you can dress how the team wear, when they’re off the field. Make sure that you drop by and have a chat with Lynley and her team, and check out the latest arrivals of shirts, trousers and fabulous winter jackets. Enjoy your week and I look forward to meeting you here at Fashion Island.

must do everything without the support of the leaders. There are 19 scouts in Wakefield, but only six can go to the Camper’s Cup. Scouts will have to build items like a rotating clothesline, sinks and gateways. They will be judged on cooking skills and hygiene, airing towels and their uniform. This is the first year that Wakefield will send a troop to the Camper’s Cup. Leader Sheryl Guyton says the Camper’s Cup will really test the scouts’ time management skills. “It teaches them lots of life skills,” she says.

Q: I asked to put a gift on layby at a local shop. The assistant asked me to sign a receipt and said I would be charged a layby fee. I told her that I thought that layby did not incur fees.

This Week
The ancestors of Nelson’s pioneers are celebrating this month, marking 170 years since they arrived to the region. Eleanor Duncan is the great, great, granddaughter of William and Sarah Eves who arrived to Nelson from Kent, England on April 10, 1842 aboard the London. Now living in Stoke, Eleanor says she is proud of her ancestry and remembers tales of early life in the Waimea region from her grandmother, also named Eleanor. This is Eleanor’s story of her ancestors that she sent to Waimea Weekly: William and Sarah Eves already had four children before arriving in New Zealand and had son James William soon after arrival, claiming to be one of the first children of British descent to be born in Nelson. When the first census was taken in Nelson in 1845, William and Sarah were living near Spring Grove in a raupo dwell-
ing. By 1849 they were well established on a 25 acre farm in Bridge Valley, they now had two boys and five girls. Dovedale in 1860 was largely covered by bush, the main industry was felling trees and selling fence posts and firewood. In 1863 a four foot wide track was cleared between Pigeon Valley and Dovedale. In 1874 the road was developed between Dovedale and Wakefield. The average wage at the time was seven shillings a day. In 1870 son James married Mary Ann Gibbs and they moved to a farm near Dovedale, they had 10 children. James and two of his sons Joesph and Samuel started a saw mill in Truss’s Valley. Eldest daughter Eleanor married William Amos, who drove the stage coaches for Jack Newman Bros, travelling to Wakefield and the Moutere. They had five children of which my mother Effie was one. Another daughter of
James was Esther, who taught school at Orinoco and Riwaka. Her son was Keith Holyoake who later became Prime Minister of New Zealand and was also the Governor General. Another son Charles attended Nelson College. He loved rugby and played for the 1st 15 for three successive years, he also competed in a scholarship against Ernest Rutherford. 170 years ago this month my ancestors, William and Sarah Eves were pioneers, arriving in Nelson on the 10th April 1842 after 5 long months from Kent, England aboard a ship “The London”. It weighed 388 tonnes and was captioned by Joesph Gibon. Two months earlier “The Fifeshire” has arrived bringing the first main body to Nelson. Do you have a story about your ancestors in our region? We would love to hear your story. Contact us at 544 9037.

At only 18 years of age, Mike is already building a solid reputation as one of the nation’s great up and coming players. This weekend Mike qualified top of his section in the National Junior 8 Ball Pool Championships which was held at The Suburban Club, and was chosen to captain the South Island team in the annual North v South match.

Rene and Amelia, owner operators at Café in the Vineyard are pictured with their children Mika, Conner and Zoe. Rene and Amelia from Café in the Vineyard are celebrating their second anniversary at the local café and they’re still loving every day. When they took over at the cafe in the midst of a recession, they realised that to make the venture a success would require plenty of hard work backed up with consistently great service and outstanding food. This recipe for success worked well and they have been busy with happy customers coming through the doors, many of who return on a regular basis. Rene and his team in the kitchen topped it all off by winning a 2012 NZ Beef and Lamb Award, the fifth time Rene has been recognised in these awards. Rene and Amelia acknowledge that running a successful business is definitely a
team effort and they’d like to thank their fantastic full time staff – Wendy, Greg, Tom, Courtney and Hannah, together with a wonderful team of casual staff, for their dedication. “We’ve also had tremendous support from our suppliers and the winery who have constantly offered great advice and shown great patience over our first two years,” says Rene. The Café is ideal for private dinner functions such as business meetings, private functions and weddings and offers a choice of set menu or buffet meals. Their lunch menu is available daily from 11-30am to 2-30pm with popular platters available until 4pm. Organic fair trade Sublime coffee, award winning Waimea Wines and Sprig and Fern Beer on tap are available all day.

Local premieres first documentary He’s done it all, and on every continent, now people in his home town will get to see exactly how he did it. Mark “Hap” Cameron finished his quest to work on every continent on the world before his 30th birthday last November. He is now writing a book on the journey and preparing for the first public showing of a documentary he made with the award-winning film maker Richard Sidey this Friday. The film follows Hap’s final journey through Africa where he worked with Melbourne based charity Bikes for Humanity to ship a container of disused bikes from Australia to Africa and use the container to set up a bike work shop for locals. He says making the film was a test but seeing it all come together has been a thrill. “The original plan was for Sich [Richard] to come with us but he had to pull out so I went out and bought a camera, he gave me a quick lesson and that was it. But he has done all the
shooting in Melbourne and all the editing and because he is super talented I’m really happy with the outcome.” The documentary will be entered in a number of film festivals but it will be Nelsonians who will have the first opportunity to watch it with Hap hosting its premiere at Vertical Limits this Friday. He says the team at Vertical Limits kindly offered a venue and he saw it as the perfect opportunity to show it. “It’s great because this is my home town and it will be awesome to see people’s reaction to it.” The venue can hold only 70 people so Hap says it is a first in, first served scenario and is urging people to bring their own cushion, beanbag or chair. A note donation will also be asked for. “We’ve done all this on a shoestring budget and the festivals are expensive so all money collected will be used to pay entry fees for us.” Doors will open at 7pm.
Country women to walk NZ Rural Women New Zealand members and friends will be pulling on their walking shoes and attempting to walk the length of New Zealand later this month. It is all part of a global challenge initiated by the international organisation, the Associated Country Women of the World. The aim is to raise funds for projects that will help rural women in developing countries set up out of poverty. Rural Women NZ members have organised some exciting walks, and will be tallying their total distances towards the goal of walking 1600 kilometres the approximate length of New Zealand. At around 10 am on April 29, women’s
groups from the four corners of the earth will begin walking, as part of this ‘Women Walk the World’ event. The St Arnaud leg, which is closest to the Nelson region, will be held two days earlier on April 27. Some walkers are being sponsored, while other groups are charging a small entry fee to raise funds. To help keep track of distances walked, the New Zealand Walking Access Commission has kindly sponsored a number of pedometers for each group. Members of the public are welcome to join in. For further information please email jackie.edkins@ruralwomen.org.nz

Welcome to our April Newsletter, We hope you all had an enjoyable Easter and are still enjoying the School holidays, we certainly have had some super weather for this special time of the year. At our meeting this month we had a short discussion about the amalgamation. You will all have had your voting papers arrive and we urge you all to make your decision and get them in the post before April 21 2012. With the great weather we were able to at last get the anti-graffiti coating on the wall, thanks to Hamish and Tracey and the use of a mates ute to tow the cherry picker kindly donated by Hi Reach Access Solutions. Thanks guys for your help in getting this completed. It means that now all we have to do is get the signage done and plan a ceremony to celebrate the completion. Thanks again to everyone who has helped us with this project. A suggestion was made at our meeting that with the cycle trail underway it would be good to have some bike stands at various locations to make it easier for cyclists using the trail. Please remember to use the doggy doo bags that are available when taking your dog out for walks. It helps keep our place a great

Brightwater Rural Women NZ The Brightwater Branch of Rural women NZ were entertained with a talk By Pat Borlase describing her early life at Tophouse and her marriage to Murray when they first lived in the family bach at the Lake which had no running water, no power, no telephone, and no sanitation and a bucket under the sink. The only way of going anywhere was by using the local bus which ran three times a week in summer and twice a week in winter. It left a 7.15 am and returned about 7pm. When the power arrived, what joy to be able to plug in an electric jug to have running hot water and an iron. When Murray became a councilor, Pat went with him to functions but on one occasion panic set in when the Governor General asked to come to morning tea. With borrowed tea service, teaspoons and cake forks, a coffee pot and chairs the morning went well and she was never again so

Cliff work on target for May finish, says NZTA The job of drilling 125 rock bolts into the cliff above Rocks Rd is progressing well says NZTA, with full use of Rocks Rd due at the end of May. Abseilers and crew working from platforms have been working since last month to drill the bolts into the cliff face in an effort to secure it from further damage following last December’s floods. New Zealand Transport Agency, which owns the road, says the work involves drilling steel columns into the cliff face to hold it together, steel mesh is then placed over the bolts, and concrete sprayed over the surface to seal the rock face and reduce the effects of weathering. Around 400 square metres of netting will also be used and drainage will be improved so the cliff face will be less prone to becoming waterlogged. So far 80 of the bolts have been drilled and fixed in place. The remaining 45 rock bolts will be completed by next week says NZTA regional operations manager Mark Owen. “We will start placing the steel mesh this week, and the concrete will be sprayed onto the surface during the first week of May.
We expect to complete this work by the end of May.” Mark says once this phase of work is complete, the shipping containers and most of the existing road cones and barriers will be removed, enabling Rocks Rd to be reinstated to two lanes and the existing cycle ways reopened. The next phase of work, involving soil nailing and rock fall netting to future proof the cliff, is currently being investigated. Work is expected to be completed later this year, and will not restrict the road width during the day, so effects on motorists and cyclists will be minimal. Mark says the work has taken longer than expected but will give a more comprehensive and “secure solution” in the long term. “We’ve been working on designs to stabilise the cliffs, and our investigations have shown that the areas that need special attention are larger than originally envisaged. It’s crucial we do a thorough job to ensure the safety of motorists and the longterm resilience of the route.” Hiway Geotechnical have been contracted to do the repairs. NZTA would not say what the project was likely to cost.

Desexing clinic coming to save lives and dollars An animal desexing bus is coming to the Nelson SPCA, targeting low or no income pet owners. The SPCA Mobile Clinic offers free desexing operations to animal owners, so it can prevent unwanted animal births. SPCA centres all around New Zealand work hard to prevent unwanted births by desexing all incoming animals before they are adopted out. For members of the public whose pets did not come through the SPCA and as a result are not desexed, the mobile clinic offers a free option. This will be the fourth time the caravan has come to the Nelson region. It did not visit last year. SPCA Nelson manager Donna
Walzl says any low income earners that are interested must apply now because spots are filling up fast. “We just want to reduce the number of unwanted animals that come into the centre. It gets more expensive for them and it certainly doesn’t help us,” she says. The majority of dog spaces had already filled up, but there are plenty of opportunities for cat owners to apply. The mobile clinic will target crossbreeds only. The mobile clinic will be in Nelson from May 3 to 22, operating six days a week. It is run by a husband and wife team. To book your spot at the mobile clinic, please contact the SPCA on 547 7171.

Brockie still waiting for overseas offers Phillip Rollo
The United States has been revealed as a possible destination for out-of-contract footballer Jeremy Brockie. The All White forward, who will become a free agent next month after completing a two-year spell with the Newcastle Jets, was back in Nelson this week for his stag do. With his wedding just one month away, Jeremy could tie the knot with a new team before then as he looks to secure his future on the pitch as well. Jeremy has two offers on the table from current A-League clubs and there is some interest from Asia. There is also interest from one franchise in Major League Soccer. While he remains tight-lipped on who exactly that franchise is, Jeremy says his next career move will revolve around the 2016 FIFA World Cup. “There’s another two years until the next
world cup, so I’m going to be factoring my decision around still wanting to be in a league that is going to help to stay in the All White fold,” he says. “I don’t want to go to a league that will dampen my chances of playing for the national team. I’m not too worried about the money, not for the next couple of years anyway.” Newcastle Jets are in danger of folding after Hunter Sports Group owner Nathan Tinkler surprisingly handed back his license to Football Federation Australia last week. Jeremy could not agree to a new deal last month, but following HSG’s announcement it seems his future would have laid outside of Newcastle either way. The former Richmond Athletic junior scored nine goals in a breakthrough season with the Jets. A decision on his new club is likely to come in the next three weeks, when he is stopped being paid by Newcastle.

FOOTBALL: Emily Jensen’s Young Football Ferns have qualified for this year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in style, notching a 9-0 win over Papua New Guinea in Auckland to rubber-stamp their ticket to Azerbaijan. New Zealand join Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, China, Japan, DPR Korea, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and hosts Azerbaijan as nations already qualified for the 16 nation September 22 – October 13 finals. Emily started in all three games as New Zealand scored 29 goals and only conceded one.
CRICKET: Connor Neynens’ has certainly put his hand up for a ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup spot with an impressive showing at a quadrangular tournament in Australia this month against some of the world’s heavyweights. The Wakefield all-rounder smashed a quick 33 off 27 balls in the semi-final loss to Australia. His 33 runs included three sixes. New Zealand finished last in the tournament, beaten by England in the third/fourth playoff. ATHLETICS: Phil Costley was in a class of his own as he showed a clean pair of heels to the others in collecting his fourth national mountain running title on Saturday in a time of 1 hour 10 minutes 31 seconds.
Athletic lose opening game A new look Richmond Athletic side fought bravely, only to be overturned on the opening day of the football calendar. Up against former coach Steve Bignall’s FC Nelson Sprig & Fern, it was another former star of the Richmond setup that stole most of the limelight. Brazilian Davi Maciel struck the opening goal of the game, midway through the second spell and was the main go to man for the away side. Richmond Athletic skipper Michael Campbell was the pick of the home players while youngster Bjorn Van Ginkel also displayed some good movements from the back. Nathan Halford and Moffat Kilifia killed off any chance of a Richmond comeback with two late goals. FC Nelson Fuji Xerox won the round’s only other match 4-1 against AMI Nelson Suburbs first XI. Nelson College had the bye. Last year’s runners up, Marlborough Mariners, will not contest this year’s title.

Star and Garter Waimea Old Boys captain Sam Prattley breaks the tackle of his ENZA Riwaka opposite during Saturday’s round two clash at Jubilee Park. Waimea Old Boys now have a record of one win and one loss, after the 25-24 victory.
James Lowe 25 : Riwaka 24 Scott “Macka” McKenzie Waimea Old Boys might have the boot of James Lowe to thank after Saturday’s 25-24 victory over Riwaka. The star centre scored all of his team’s points en route to its first victory of the season. It was another cracker day at ‘the Jungle’ where Star and Garter Waimea Old Boys took on ENZA Riwaka. Waimea, hurting from last week’s narrow defeat at the hands of New World Huia, started the match all guns blazing with a lot of grunt work from Sam Prattley, Tom Williams and Tanuio
Piripi. The trio got plenty of good go forward ball for the backs and after ten minutes of constant pressure, Waimea Old Boys were finally on the board. James sneaked down the left wing and putting a grubber in and re-gathering to scoot 20 meters to score under the posts, despite questions of him stepping on the sideline. Waimea Old Boys started to fall off its game a bit in the remaining minutes of the half. This gave Riwaka some well deserved momentum which was capped off when they managed to dot down 25 minutes into the first half.
SG
James did answer back, however, with a successful penalty kick. James took over the kicking duties from Kaide Whiting, and it paid dividends for the home side, asking for the tee every time they received a penalty within the opposite half. Riwaka once again found themselves in Waimea Old Boys territory, making the most of an overlap to score another try with just eight minutes left in the first 40. James put two more penalties over just before the half to have Waimea Old Boys up 16-12 at oranges. Riwaka came out firing after the break to score another try. This was going to make
it a tough half for the boys in red and white But it was danger man James who started to shine busting tackles and some outstanding runs. But it was his boot that was keeping Riwaka at bay and giving them a little breathing space. With time almost up, Riwaka weren’t going to lie down and happened to score in the corner with the kick to come to win it. Waimea Old Boys must have been thinking déjà vu, following last week’s nail bitter, but this time it went Waimea’s way with the conversion just falling short giving Waimea Old Boys their first win of the season.

A last gasp Murchison try gave them an important away victory to Stoke B’s on the weekend. Stoke started well in the first half and things were looking good for an easy victory, but after scoring three great tries in the first half, Stoke started to tire and Murchison scored right on the stroke of half time. The second half started as the first half finished. Murchison played to its strengths in the forwards and scored three tries in the second half. All were pick and drives from inside the five metre line. Stoke kept its nose in front with the help of two penalties to Ant Holder until in the final seconds of the match when Murchison struck the lethal blow by scoring in the corner to put them two points up and win the game 29-27.

Notice of Intention to Change of Reserve Classifications
Street Closures – Anzac Day
Parts of Tapawera and Brightwater Recreation Reserves Pursuant to Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977, the Tasman District Council gives notice of its intention to change the classification of portions of the Tapawera and Brightwater Recreation Reserves. The affected portions of the respective reserves are utilised for the following activities: Tapawera Recreation Reserve – Toy Library, and Playcentre Brightwater Recreation Reserve – Pinegrove Kindergarten It is considered desirable to change the classifications of the relevant portions of the reserves from Recreation Reserve to Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserves. This will more correctly align the current uses of the reserves to a more appropriate reserve classification. The intention is to have current uses reflected in the reserve classifications. This process is essentially an administrative action and there is no intention to change any current activities on these reserves. Recreation uses on these reserves will continue as they do now, and those portions of the reserves will retain Recreation Reserve status. Some car parking areas will be included in the change of classification process, but the car parks will remain available for all reserve users, as they are now. The change of classification for the Brightwater Reserve will be slightly larger than the land occupied by the Kindergarten at present. This is partly to minimise survey costs and partly to provide for potential expansion. For plans of the portions of the reserves intended for changes of classification, and to make further enquiries, please contact Robert Cant at Tasman District Council – robert.cant@tasman. govt.nz, Ph 03 543 8400. Submissions or objections on the proposed classification changes should be made in writing, to the address below, and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Monday 28 May 2012. Tasman District Council Private Bag 4 Richmond
