Lee dam is ‘critical’ for our region Mayor Richard Kempthorne and mayoral candidate Kit Maling remain adamant the Lee Valley Dam is worth throwing millions at, even though Tasman District Council is staring at $158 million debt, saying hundreds of jobs could be lost if the productive sector is forced to a standstill. While it is unsure how much the proposed dam will cost at this stage, and who will even by paying for it, what is clear is the fact that the project will be the most expensive ever undertaken by the council. The reason for wanting to build the Lee Valley Dam, which was initially hoped to have been completed by now, is to prevent strict water cuts on the Waimea Plains – something both Richard and Kit believe would significantly compromise horticultural activity. “If we don’t have a dam then the restrictions likely to be placed on the Waimea Plains are going to seriously threaten many of the commercial activities that are currently occurring on the plain,” Richard says. wheelchairs mobility scooters walker/canes electric beds ands hoists lift assist chairs bathroom solutions incontinence products daily living aids/products

Kit, who is on the Waimea Water Augmentation Committee, labelled the dam as “critical” but says it needs to be affordable. “If we don’t build the dam you’ll be dry-land farming on the Waimea Plains, it’s as simple as that,” he says. “If we don’t build this dam then Richmond will be water short in ten years so we have to do something and water isn’t a free commodity I’m afraid.” A plan change, resource consent, and the final stages of the detailed design will need to be approved or ticked off before the dam goes out for tender. It is only then when an answer to the price and who is paying for it, will be confirmed. Another mayoral candidate, Max Clark, says the dam shouldn’t go ahead because it would financially ruin the district and because the SEE PAGE 2

Lee Valley dam is ‘critical’ Waimea Village dispute back in court FROM PAGE 1 council can’t afford it. “There are only a few farmers and orchardists who would benefit. Ratepayers will be severely hit in the pocket for the next 25 years or for the length of loans,” Max says. “The council’s debt stands at $159 million, set to increase without the dam to $311 million in ten years. It could not afford to borrow further at the ratepayers’ expense.” But Kit disagrees. “The impact [of not doing this] is very large. There are so many jobs on the Waimea Plains. There would be closer to 400 farmers. This is the most significant project in the region for the next 20 years, without a doubt. This is the bread basket, this is where

our production comes from. But those jobs will go, you can’t grow without it.” The minimum flow of the Waimea River is at record low levels and if that trend continues without water augmentation then water could be cut during summer, knocking out the productive sector. “It’s certain. That will happen and there’s no way you would avoid it,” says Murray King, chairman of the WWAC. “The dam is probably the cheapest solution. We’ve looked at plenty of others, the likes of piping water from Lake Rotoiti, but they’re way out.” Murray hopes the application for resource consent will be lodged by the start of next year and it is likely to take two years to build.

Lawyers representing the two warring sides of Waimea Village will be back in court in December as they continue to do battle ahead of a court case that is likely to be heard next year. The visit to court is because the lawyers can’t agree on several pre-court issues, according to a letter sent by the Waimea Village Residents Committee to fellow residents on Monday. They include demands from owners of the village Michael and Carolyn Wright and their lawyer Graeme Downing from McMadden McMeeken Phillips. The two main sticking points is the insistence for the residents to put $60,000 into a trust account controlled by the Wrights lawyers – just in case they lose the court case. The second issue is seeing the

bank statements. Lawyer Graeme Downing is insisting that no copies of the statements are made by anyone, including for residents lawyer Warwick Heal’s own records, and that the original documents must be sent by courier and that none of the plaintiffs should be able to see the bank statements. The letter quoted Warwicks response: “It is not only a basic right that each of the 180 plus plaintiffs see all of the evidence that forms part of the case that they are bringing, it is their right to discuss the case with their own individual advisors.” The judge for the case will rule on both of the points on December 9. The 182 plaintiffs in the case against the Wrights are residents

of Waimea Village that have filed suit in an attempt to locate and protect the $350,000 they have paid into a repair and replacement fund. They say they believe money from the fund has been withdrawn by the Wrights for other purposes and the Wrights have so far not shown its whereabouts despite numerous requests. By the time the case may be heard in December the amount will be over $400,000. The residents letter says it was a shame that they had to go back to court in December. “Unfortunately, Michael and Carolyn, through their lawyer, have taken an uncompromising and unyielding attitude, rejecting the judge’s suggestions and presented a proposal on both issues that would be impossible for us to accept.”

Hospital operations top 10,000 Sinead Ogilvie

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It’s been a busy year for Nelson Hospital with more than 25,300 people showing up for emergency treatment alone. Operation numbers are also on the rise with more elective surgeries performed at the hospital in 2012 compared to the previous year. Statistics from the past 12 months, released to Waimea Weekly last week, suggest things aren’t going to slow down any time soon either, with admissions into the hospital up on 2011 by 701, with a total of 18,452 people checking in. The past year included a higher number of procedures performed in theatre, with an average of 28 operations performed at the hospital each day during the year. While cataract procedures were down, more people left the hospital with new hips, knees and shoulders, with the number of replacements carried out up by 33 to 377. The only department to catch a break during 2012 was the maternity ward, who saw a decrease in the number of births recorded, with just 875 babies born at the hospital – a number that contributed to the lowest amount of births for the top

Stolen petrol sparks 24 hour pre pay policy A new type of fuel theft has forced the owners of two Nelson petrol stations into a new pre pay policy. John and Maureen Gifkins own Mobil Tahuanui and Mobil Stoke and introduced the 24 hour pre pay policy about a month ago. They say it was in response to some customers who would put petrol in their cars and then come in to pay, knowing their eft-

pos cards would decline. John says they do that because once they “attempt” to pay it’s no longer seen as a fuel theft but a civil matter, so police don’t get involved. That leaves him trying to get his money back and he says it’s been happening more and more recently so they’ve had to act. “Pre pay happens up north in the big cities and I believe it’s happening down south as

well in Christchurch and other places. We didn’t want to be the first ones in Nelson to do it but we need to make a living, that’s what it’s all about.” Police confirmed stolen petrol is an issue but don’t have figures because a lot of stations deal with it themselves. John says enough is enough. “It leaves us out of pocket and we can’t keep going like that or we won’t be able to

pay our bills or pay our staff. It’s like any business.” The new policy means that customers drive up and pay for the petrol inside before pumping it into their cars. Once the petrol is in they simply drive off. Waimea Motors, which is also a Mobil petrol station, has a different owner to the Stoke and Tahunanui businesses and will not be using a pre pay service.

A cuppa for a memorable cause

and win $5000 cash per month* Every $100 in your Target Account equals one chance to win!

Having a cuppa could help a worthy cause this week, with local cafes lending a hand to support Alzheimer’s Society Nelson. Cafes across the region will be donating 50 cents from every tea or coffee they sell in order to support the cause and lend a hand to the not for profit organisation. The event will coincide with World Alzheimer’s Awareness Day which is this Saturday and has been organised by the society as part of their annual awareness month. Alzheimer’s Society Nelson field worker and team manager, Heather Lackner, says the fundraiser has been organised to bring dementia into a public arena. A similar event held by

Alzheimer’s Nelson supporters Yvonne Gilmore, Shirley MacMillan and Gay Ramus at the charity’s Cuppa for a Cause event last Wednesday. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie supporters of the society last Wednesday was a huge success and she says it was a “great start” to their annual appeal. You can support Cuppa for a Cause by heading along to the Boathouse Cafe or Vanilla Cafe

this Friday, or by visiting Cafe Affair, WOW Café or Crusoe’s on Saturday. All funds raised through ‘Cuppa for a Cause’ will be used to help the group provide support to those affected by dementia.

Natureland zoo saved again NEWS Andrew Board

in brief

FIND THE HIDDEN CLUE: Teapot Valley Christian Camp is having a CSI theme for their school holiday camp. They are searching for clues and we have been asked to include one in the Waimea Weekly for them to find.

Natureland doesn’t have any cats in its zoo, but it shares their ability to use up a fair few of their allocated lives. Nelson City Council announced last week that Natureland Zoo will have new owners before Christmas, saving it from closure yet again. Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio says an agreement is being finalised on the lease and funding arrangement with a charitable trust that is ready to take over the management of Natureland from November 1.

Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz The final sale and handover arrangements are currently underway between Orana Wildlife Trust and the new owners, who will be announcing their plans for Natureland once all documentation is completed. “The council looks forward to a new chapter in the Natureland story, and as landlord and principal funder, it

is pleased to support the proposal put forward by the new owners,” says Aldo. Orana Wildlife Trust has owned and managed Natureland for the past five years, coming on board when its future was in doubt. The Orana trust introduced various new attractions and activities but signalled last year it wanted to withdraw due to issues with its own park after the Christchurch earthquakes. Since 2003 paying visitor numbers have averaged 32,134 per year.

SIGN UP FOR TOUCH: The Waimea touch module is having its registration day this Saturday at the Waimea Old Boys clubrooms at Jubilee Park from 10am to 12pm. For information or entries contact aleisha.hart@hotmail.com or pick up an entry form from the Waimea Weekly. Games start on Wednesday October 23. There are also new grades this year, with the addition of men’s over 35 and the business house social mixed grade.

Nelson has cup fever From the calm waters of Nelson Haven on Sunday morning to the choppy San Francisco Bay, Nelsonians are excited about the America’s Cup and the possibility of it being in Kiwi hands today. On Sunday, local sailor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens, 13, tried to emulate his Emirates Team New Zealand heroes, going for a sail with friend Rebecca Newnham, 12, just hours after watching the races at home and a week before the local season starts. In San Francisco, Nelsonians there say watching Team New Zealand race is a once in a lifetime moment and they can’t wait for Dean Barker to get his hands on the cup. Former Nayland College teacher Andrew Marshall, who has been teaching in San Francisco for a year, told Waimea Weekly the atmosphere has been fantastic and he’s been to most of the races at the waterfront, cheering on ETNZ. While Andrew has been cheering on the team from the waterfront, another former Nelson man, Chris Irwin, was on his yacht in San Francisco harbour where he was part of the spectator fleet. He says watching the massive AC72 catamarans speed by was incredible and that there were so many boats watching the action that it felt like

Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz you could hop across the harbour “from one yacht to the next”. The two Nelson men are some of the thousands of New Zealanders who are on the California coast to watch the America’s Cup. Emirates’ Team New Zealand had a 7-1 lead in the finals series over holders Oracle Team USA at the time of print and needed two more race wins to claim back the Auld Mug before this mornings races. Andrew who has been teaching at the city’s international school says the fact that he was there while the cup was on was a coincidence but he is a big America’s Cup fan and is thrilled to be able to be a part of it. He says the only New Zealanders he met in his first three months in the city were from Team New Zealand and being on the shore was a special moment with New Zealand flags everywhere. “It’s been really cool to be a part of and just seeing all the New Zealanders and all the support, it’s incredible.” Chris, who has worked in Silicon Valley since 1998, sails often in the harbour and says it was special to be able to watch thwe on water he is so familiar with.

its spring breeding burst,” he says. With many residents out in their gardens, tending to plants at this time of the year, Bruce is asking them to keep watch for the caterpillars and eggs, and says leaves that are being rapidly chewed away on plants are a usual telltale sign they are being attacked by the mob-feeding caterpillars. Garden searches by the eradication team this spring are initially focussed on Nelson city where most infestations occur, however, householders in Richmond and in further areas of Tasman are being told to watch for butterfly infestations as the butterflies can fly to new locations, and because infestations were found in Richmond last summer. DOC launched the great white butterfly eradication programme in November last year. Agencies supporting it include MPI, both councils and Vegetables New Zealand.

A team of 25 Department of Conservation workers will search every property in the Nelson region for a second time, as it intensifies the strike against the great white butterfly. DOC has set up a dedicated team to carry out concentrated searches of gardens to look for and remove the pest butterfly caterpillars and eggs because it poses a major threat to home and commercial brassica crops and endangered native cresses. Project manager Bruce Vander Lee says knocking back the pest butterfly’s breeding spikes in spring and autumn was critical to achieving its eradication, which is why another 20 people had joined the team after a quiet winter. “We put in an intensive effort against a great white butterfly autumn breeding spurt, searching out and removing infestations and we are hoping as a result there will be fewer butterflies to set off

Appleby student wins speech comp

with Sinead Ogilvie

Wednesday September 11 Richmond mum Amber Heyes, who was told by Work and Income New Zealand that her unpaid job trial was illegal, even though it wasn’t, has had the matter cleared up by the agency and all parties involved are happy with the outcome. Waimea Weekly understands the role WINZ plays is a significant and difficult one, so good on them for putting it right. Wednesday, September 4 The Nelson Cancer Society is extremely happy with the generous donations they received for Daffodil Day this year. More than 200 collectors were out in force supporting the cause and centre manager Linda Lucre says donations were more than on par with previous years. The official count is yet to be announced but she says this year they targeted industrial areas so people who normally don’t get a chance to donate had the opportunity to do so.

Zahra Haigh holds a trophy from the primary and intermediate interschool’s speech contest.

Last week Powertalk International Waimea Club and the Lions Club of Richmond held their annual school speech competition. As always, the students competed to delight the audience with a wide range of topics: Leaders Who Changed the World, ReduceReuse-Recycle, My Summer Trip, History of Chocolate, Don’t Give in to Peer Pressure, and Health. The speeches were all of an extremely high standard and the judges had a very tough job to find the winners. Zahra Haigh of Appleby School won the Year 6 competition.

Tuesday, August 13 The pig that was running amok in Richmond’s CBD has proven to be an elusive sow, who has no intention of giving up the wild life. John Bergman, animal control officer for the Tasman District Council told Waimea Weekly the sow lasted a few weeks in a stock pen at the pound, being fed bread, carrots and other vegetables before escaping into the bushes at Rabbit Island, where she hasn’t been spotted since. Wednesday, September 11 The winner of the Native Bird Recovery Group Richmond’s special edition Tui Book is Ian Paterson while Chris Woodwiss won the smaller version.

Q: My daughter has asked me

to sign a document saying that I will be the guarantor of her mortgage for the bank. It seems like a simple gesture that will help her to get her own home; is there any real risk? A: Going guarantor means that you agree to pay the mortgage debt if for some reason you daughter can’t. Furthermore, guarantors are also liable for any future borrowing such as penalties, interest or over-drafts in relation to the original debt.

Aroma, appearance, flavour and mouth feel. Having a beer was serious business for local home brewers who took part in The Kung Fu of Home Brew competition held on Saturday. The contest, organised by the Nelson branch of SOBA - the Society of Beer Advocates - attracted more than 40 entries, from IPA, to pilsner, stout, all from local home brewers who were keen for a taste of criticism and competition. The peer-judged contest caters for those in the local home brewing scene that may not have the confidence to enter the bigger national competitions, but still want to compete on a casual basis says organiser Bill Fennell. “We came up with the idea to host local casual contests at different venues around Nelson. This is the fifth one we’ve held and it’s our biggest yet.” Co-organiser Peter Mayes says the competition was held to encourage home brewers to continue on, in the face of larger breweries who mass produce “the same bland beers”. “Around 20 per cent of New Zealand’s breweries are based in the top of the south, craft brewing is definitely on the rise,” he says.

Moutere home brewer and hop grower says he entered the competition to spend a Saturday in the sun, sample other local beers and take on a bit of feedback, as he is still learning. “So far I’ve tasted one distinctively average beer and one that rocked. I think the revival in craft beer is fantastic. With a bit of luck the big breweries will soon be on their way out.” The winner of the competition was Gareth Kerr and Matt Hoddy with their Red IPA.

Kohatu book full of laughs John Ellis likes a good yarn and he thinks he’s alright at doing it too, embellishments included of course. But that self acknowledged statement is probably why the Kohatu man just released his first ever book – Tall Tales and True from Kohatu and Beyond. The book, which it’s fair to say, is more targeted at mature minds who can handle a rude joke or ten, covers bizarre and hysterically funny scenarios John has found himself in. Most of which have occurred since moving from Australia to outside Tapawera. “It’s full of sex, drugs and rock and roll, plus a lot of violence but only in a very cheeky way. There’s even a bit of reverse bestiality but it’s all good fun,” he explains of the book, cackling a laugh in his Aussie accent. “It’s a collection of stories from my childhood, early working life and latter working life.” John has been engaged in river works around the Tasman area for the past 40 years, and his current tasks have taken him to Christchurch where he wrote the book to fill in the time. However, it’s in the Tapawera and Motueka communities that most of the characters

Photo: Phillip Rollo. were met, and because some of them are still alive John was “very careful” about naming them. “I always tried to look at life from a more musing point of view. If there’s a funny side to something I’ll find it. I can tell a yarn, but generally they’re not yarns you’d hear on the radio, it’s experiences I’ve had and with a bit of embellishment they’re quite funny.” The humorous scenarios and experiences are not in any particular order, and include tales such as the possum in the women’s toilets, which ended up not being a possum at all, only something just as hairy; the awkward moment when

the site foreman left work and never returned, only for the large group of forestry workers to squeeze onto the same tractor together; and the bar fight which saw the two protagonists remove their false teeth and mixed them up at the end of it. But without releasing any more spoilers, John says the book is a guaranteed laugh. Tall Tales and True from Kohatu and Beyond will soon be available from Page & Blackmore in Nelson. Due to its early popularity, John has already planned to pen a second book before Christmas.

s r e n w o New Richmond Liquor Centre’s new owners Anne Shee and Damon Kroupa.

Local owners for liquor store

Being proudly locally owned and operated has spread to another prominent Richmond retailer, with Richmond Liquor Centre being taken over by new owners Anne Shee and her partner Damon Kroupa. Anne will be familiar to most customers as the existing store manager and Damon owns Mapua 4 Square. Anne says that the move has been a big one and a bit scary, but she has faith in the locals to support her and Damon’s new venture. “We have been concentrating on increasing our stock levels and are happy to announce that all the favourite brands are back, and at prices better than ever,” she says.

Anne and Damon are making sure they carry all the best brands and are working hard also to lift the wine selections for which Richmond Liquor became well known. They have made the shop more open and brighter and offer a large walk in chiller for those cold beers on the hot days. Richmond Liquor will also have plenty of giveaways and promotions on from week to week. Anne says that they are prepared for the hard work involved and are looking forward to the challenge. Situated next to BP on Queen St they are open seven days with handy drive to the door and plenty of free parking.

Just a thought.... Someone once told me if you put nine people into a room you‘ll get ten different opinions. That might be a slight exaggeration. However it’s a reflection of the range of opinion people may have on any given issue of the day. How we deal with differences of opinion is important, whether that be in a family, or any other grouping we belong to. Such differences, if not handled sensitively, have the potential to produce hurt, conflict and ‘winners and losers’. Last month the Marriage Amendment Act became law in NZ. The Methodist Church of NZ requested its congregations and

parishes to vote on whether they would allow their churches to be used for same sex marriage services. Their clergy also had to declare if they would conduct such services. I was pleased individual church members and ministers were trusted to make up their own minds on this controversial issue. I suspect most people have an opinion on gay marriage both within and outside the churches. Many have strong, passionate opinions one way or the other.

Delicious variety When Bill and Michelle Lam opened their restaurant 11 years ago they had one simple ambition - to have the best restaurant in town serving the best eastern cuisine to the people of Richmond. And it didn’t take long for that to happen. Eastern Cuisine soon became very busy and attracted a large and loyal base of regular customers who definitely agreed that their food was second to none. Michelle was busy serving in the restaurant and takeaway, while Bill prepared all of the food in the kitchen. Bill was determined that his creations would be prepared to order, using the finest fresh ingredients and they couldn’t be rushed. As they got busier and busier, sometimes his hungry customers would have to wait longer for their food than he was happy with. Bill and Michelle came up with the clever idea of offering takeaways in their new buffet allowing people to choose immediately from the delicious variety available. This new option was hugely popular and instead of solving Bill’s problem it now meant he was preparing restaurant meals and takeaway meals to order as well as keeping the buffet fully stocked, so he was busier than ever! And then the floods hit. Eastern Cuisine

suffered badly and had to close while repairs were made. This break gave Bill and Michelle time to re-evaluate how they operated their business and how they could reduce waiting times. Bill decided that he simply could not continue singlehandedly in the kitchen. “Our customers have been very patient but they deserve better service and shouldn’t have to wait so long when they are hungry. I decided I needed some help in the kitchen to prepare meals more quickly.” Bill has assembled a new team to help him out. Michelle will still be out with the customers who enjoy seeing her lovely smile while Bill is joined in the kitchen by talented cooks, Ivan Chen and Jerry Huang. While Bill will still definitely be in charge of his kitchen, he is looking forward to having Ivan and Jerry providing the back-up he needs to ensure the quality of his meals stays top notch with much less waiting time. Eastern Cuisine has also extended their hours and the restaurant and takeaway is now open six nights per week from 4.30pm until late from Tuesday to Sunday. Phone them today on 544 3132 to reserve a table in the restaurant or place a takeaway order. Business Update. Adv.

The devastation at Anatoki Salmon Farm following a flash flood in June.

Congratulations with the re-opening of Anatoki. We wish you a busy season! Ruud & Dorien and the Team at Staete Landt Proud makers of your favourite wine with Anatoki Salmon!

New Zealand Couriers

On June 16 of this year Anatoki Salmon Farm was forced to close due to devastating flooding and a large landslide. A flash flood filled the salmon lake and the breeding ponds with mud and debris, water levels rose causing the lake and ponds to overflow and more than 35,000 fish died or escaped into the river. It was a nightmare experience for owners Jan and Gerda, who have built their life on the farm and an enormous clean up was required. But after hard work and efforts from generous volunteers, they are back in business and celebrating their reopening - plus some exciting new features. “Like the phoenix rises from the ashes, we rose

from the mud and have become even better. The public will notice improvements around our pristine site, which include a new shelter, new seats, a new house style, signage, website and much, much more.” It was incredibly important to Jan and Gerda to get Anatoki Salmon Farm back open for business despite the huge cleanup ahead of them. Besides Christmas Day, they never take a day off. The successful tourist attraction is open 364 days a year and caters to 25,000 visitors annually– so they were committed to returning it to its former glory. “After the landslide it seemed like it was all for

We never thought we would be open this soon and when we look back and see the photos of the disaster it feels a bit unreal.” Jan, Gerda and the rest of the team at Anatoki Salmon Farm would like to say a huge thank you to the many volunteers that helped in the immediate and ongoing aftermath. Thanks to the Takaka Fire Brigade, Tasman District Council and the generosity of locals, they were able to save some of the stock. Sollys removed thousands of cubic metres of mud and debris and when the ponds were clean but empty, New Zealand King Salmon supplied the farm with 15,000 young salmon

from their hatchery nearby. Catch your own prime freshwater King salmon and have it fresh or ready to eat on the spot at Anatoki Salmon Farm. Remember, the use of fishing equipment is free of charge and you only pay for what you catch. The tranquil spot is the perfect location to bring your friends, family or go on your own for a spot of fishing with guaranteed success. A grand reopening held on Saturday was a fantastic way to celebrate and they are now ready for the summer season ahead. The farm is open for business seven days a week between 9am and 4.30pm.

come the public to join them. Even before their official creation, the church steps were a significant meeting place. The hilltop overlooking Whakatu, where the Cathedral is now based, was long known to Maori as Pikimai. Because of its natural vantage point, the hilltop was the perfect site for a sentinel pa. If security was threatened, it offered a retreat with views of Whakatu to the north, the Whakapuaka and Maungatapu trails to the east and the Waimea trail to the west. However, Maori weren’t the only ones to see the value of the hill-

The heart and soul of Nelson’s community can be found on or at the base of the iconic Cawthron steps. The landmark granite staircase has long been a meeting point for the city; its residents gathering there for commemorations, receptions, meetings and marches, for events social, formal and historic. It’s been 100 years since local philanthropist and founder of the Cawthron Institute, Thomas Cawthron, donated the church steps to the community. In doing so, he set in stone the formation of Nelson’s social history. The centennial of the church steps is an opportunity to take a look back at and celebrate the steps for their defining role in shaping Nelson and Nelsonians. To honour the occasion, the Cawthron Trust Board are holding a celebratory event this Old Cars at Church Steps [c.1907] Nelson Friday and wel- Provincial Museum, Copy Collection: C1087

top. The New Zealand Company – responsible for the the colonisation of Nelson – set up camp there in 1841. An official access way didn’t exist at the time, but the hilltop became a central place of operations and it wasn’t long before it was a hive of activity with people climbing dirt paths to reach the summit. The first church service before there was ever an official cathedral was held atop the hill in February 1842 – albeit in a surveyors hut. In 1843 lives were lost over land disputes between Europeans and Maori – during a battle

And so the steps were in 1912 on the six flights of stairs, sep born. Three flights of wooden steps were built over the dirt path in 1858 and it did not take long for the day-to-day gatherings of the hilltop to be mirrored at the bottom. In 1863, Nelson marked the marriage of Edward, Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark with a celebration at the bottom of the steps. In 1877 the successful rescue of passengers and crew of the wreck of immigrant ship, the Queen Bee, was commemorated. The steps were now a place of mass celebration. The Church steps saw a jovial 8000 strong crowd celebrate the 50th jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887 and the city farewelled and welcomed back local troops from the Boer War in that same year. The steps were setting the scene for important local gatherings, but as the turn of the century came and went concerns were raised about the safety of them. They became dangerously slippery in wet weather, were rotting and in a general state of disrepair; but what could be done with them? How could they be fixed? Continuing calls for the steps to be replaced with permanent materials ensued and amongst the debate during 1911, Thomas Cawthron stepped in. A well known local philanthropist, Thomas offered to cover the costs involved with replacing the steps and donate them to the city. At the same time he helped fund the continuation of the stanchions and chains along Rocks Rd. His offer was gratefully accepted and Thomas set about The Cawthron steps at the base of the Cathedral making plans for the ‘Cawthron steps’. “A real good job, massive and ornamental”, this was the look Thomas had in his sights for the steps and so he selected work was carried out daily by local la strong granite as the material for the project.

Nelson, William Lock, and his gift was recorded on the first landing by way of a plaque reading “These steps were presented to the city by Thomas Cawthron ESq. A.D 1913”. What makes the steps the focal point of Nelson? Although ownership was transferred to the Nelson City Council in 1922, they have always belonged to the people of Nelson, as Thomas Cawthron intended when he first made the donation. The city continues to claim them as their own through public activities, meetings, and ceremonies and since their construction a number of significant events have taken place at their base. Over the years the Church steps have seen many a special occasion. Nelson waved goodbye to troops on their way to World War I, held war effort fundraisers, welcomed back returned servicemen and even held their first Anzac Day service there. Any time a send off, official ceremony or procession was in order; the steps have been the go-to venue. Highlights have included the 1920 tour by Edward, Prince of Wales and in 1927 another royal visit from the Duke and Duchess of York - George VI and Queen Elizabeth I. A Victoria Cross was awarded to Sgt Alfred Hulme in 1942 in front of a large crowd, and VJ (Victory over Japan) Day was celebrated in 1945. Undeniably though, one of the most memorable sights the Cawthron steps have seen was the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Phillip, the Duke of Edinburough who attended a service at the cathedral before de-

New Location - 12 Cargill Place Richmond Ph 544 5008 They say time flies when you’re having fun, and no truer words can be said for the team at Panelbeating Technology. The Richmond based business moved into a temporary space on Cargill Pl, 13 years ago and have quite accidentally been there ever since. After initially losing their first premises to a fire on the same street, owners Shane and TracyLee Puklowski moved their business down the road to number eight and have now found a spot to permanently base their 14 year old business out of. The move into 12 Cargill Pl has been a long time coming, so it wasn’t easy with so many years worth of equipment and only three pairs of hands to

make it happen, but Shane says with a bit of help from family and customers they made quick work of it. “I can’t believe the customers offered to help out and we are grateful that they did. It’s great to be settled into our new home, after a long haul waiting for a space to become available.” Freshly painted, clean and tidy, their new workshop is now the perfect size to accommodate the ever growing business. With more square metres, storage space and plenty of room on the yard, Shane says Panelbeating Technology is operating at full capacity and he loves having more space. “The move was necessary due to the amount the business has grown. We

just didn’t fit in our old place anymore, so it’s fantastic to have the room we need.” Panelbeating Technology offer services to cover the whole trade, catering to all aspects of panel and structural repairs. As Nelson’s most highly regarded collision repairers and panelbeating specialists, they are constantly in demand with not only domestic customers but a lot of major commercial clients too. From door panel dings, to full front end replacements, structural, panel or chassis repairs, there is no job too big or too small for Shane and his team to take care of. Whether it’s a clipped bumper or a total rebuild on caravans, campers, tractors or cars,

Logan Burnett and Shane Puklowski, the friendly team at Panelbeating Technology invite you to check out their new premises at 12 Cargill Pl.

“People won’t say we are the cheapest because we’re not. What people will tell you is that we do the job once and we do it right. We have never had a job come back to us due to lack of workmanship and we always exceed expectations.” Shane’s motivation to be the best in the business has resulted in him becoming qualified and certified A-Grade Advanced in panelbeating and structural repair. Since working as Shane’s 2IC, Logan has been able to tap into his experience and due to his own ability to work hard he is able to tackle any job that comes into the workshop. “Anyone coming into the workshop when I’m not around is able to talk to Logan about the job just as they would me. We both look at every job as if it was our own vehicle.”

From preserves to preloved books, clothing and accessories, you’ll be sure to find the perfect item to take home with you. Fill a bag of clothing, pick up locally made jams and sauces and browse through the range of quality homemade products. Coconut ice, hokey pokey and chocolate slice; the bazaar is extremely popular for its delicious baking and this year the coffers promise to impress once again. Every family in the school is currently finishing a batch of biscuits, slice or putting the icing on cupcakes or cakes for the event, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting which sweet treat you’ll be taking away with you. Hope School’s Country Bazaar is also world famous in Tasman for its produce and plants, with fresh local products available for purchase. Fill up your boot with budget friendly shrubbery and trees grown right here in Tasman’s backyard especially for yours. Get your garden prepped and ready for spring and summer and buy direct from the grower while supporting a great cause. Fun, fun and more fun.

From fairground classics such as bouncy castles and a ferris wheel, to country style fun in the form of pony rides, trailer rides, smashing crockery, face painting and crazy hair, there is something to keep the entire family entertained throughout the day. Check out the students ‘Jolly Jars’ which are known to sell out early. Made at home or in class these mysterious jars are full of surprises – you just don’t know what you will find inside. Returning due to popular demand is the best dressed bear competition too, so make sure you bring along your favourite teddy dressed to impress and head over to the stall for more information on how you can win. Of course it wouldn’t be the Hope School Bazaar without

the free animal petting area, which provides a menagerie of critters from lambs to rabbits, donkeys to chicks for young and old to snuggle, cuddle and pet throughout the day. The Silent Auction is always a huge draw card for bidders looking for a bargain. It is extremely well supported by local businesses and this year it will be another successful fundraiser for the school. Artwork, travel vouchers, café and restaurant vouchers and a sea kayak are just some of the items that have been generously donated this year. The public are encouraged to get bidding to ensure they don’t miss out as the auction items get snapped up every year. The hot food tent offers high quality fare with yummy options for vegetarians, meat lovers, and everyone in between. Ice creams, slushies, snack food and more, there is plenty to eat and drink.

Are you sick of telemarketers and pushy salesmen endlessly harassing you at all hours to put in a heat recovery system? Don’t be fooled, flashy adds and celebrity spokesman doesn’t mean you are getting the best for your dollar, in fact you could be spending thousands more than you have to. Breaking the Myth, what is a heat recovery system? Positive Pressure ventilation systems draw fresher, drier air into your home from either the roof cavity or outside. This air is then passed through a high efficiency filter and introduced into your home. This introduced air forces out the moist, stale air that causes condensation, mould and mildew. This dryer air is then easier to heat, making your existing heating more efficient. There are a range of options when choosing a system, from basic to elaborate systems that include heat transfer systems or even integrated heat pumps. This Spring why not talk to Rowan Dron Electrical first. Rowan and the team have been installing positive ventilation systems for years and will give you straight up, honest advice about what will suit your house best. Ask about their hypo allergenic filters that reduce pollen in the air.

with goal defence Jordan Webby gaining valuable ball, while Kayla Cross increased her load at goal attack, along with Kayla Fry at goal shoot outscored Nelson 10-8.

With only ten minutes to play the defending champions knew they only had to score off their own to see their name on the trophy once again. Although there was considerable ball turned over, the college girls kept their heads to take the game 34-28. The curtain is now closed on the club netball season.

Tennis open days prove to be a big hit Eleven clubs across the district, from Golden Bay to Tapawera were involved in a tennis open day for schools of primary and intermediate aged children on the weekend. This is the second year that all clubs have combined to promote a ‘Have a Go’ open day together. Kolie Van Zyl of Tasman Tennis Centre in Richmond had his passionate committee on board to ensure that the large numbers were accommodated with tennis activities and tasty barbequed sausages. Being such a beautiful day, parents were standing around the courts cheering and applauding, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Ashleigh Calder, recently recruited as the Mo-

tueka Club coach, had a very busy initiation into tennis in Motueka with her club day taking place on Sunday. Across the hill Golden Bay followed the busy trend, finishing the day with a great turnout and many happy players. Vanessa Mairs was kept busy between Mapua Club and Upper Moutere as was Ngaire Calder between Wakefield, Hope and Tapawera. The enthusiastic entries over this weekend’s Schools Tennis Have a Go Day has proved to be a great opening event leading into this year’s summer tennis season. Tennis Nelson would like to thank its sponsors for supporting the event.

Max for Mayor I am locally educated, have lived most of my life in Richmond and I am a Registered Nurse and a paramedic. I have seen our district grow dramatically especially in the last ten years. As a local business owner and Managing Director of MediMax for more than fifteen years I have developed an extensive working network throughout the district and have a strong sense of what the people of Tasman want from their Council. The people of Tasman are saying it is time for a change.  Rates must be affordable and fair – we cannot have another Headingly Lane.  Core services must again become our priority. We need a flexible policy, however, so that funds can be reallocated should we again face circumstances such as the recent flooding of homes and businesses.  The majority of Tasman residents are opposed to amalgamation. It is possible to work co-operatively without amalgamating.  The current Council has borrowed $100 million in the last 6 years. Borrowing currently stands at $159 million and is expected to rise to $311 Million. We must regain control over this excessive spending.  The proposed Lee Valley Dam must not go ahead. The only capacity it has is to financially ruin our district. Other safer and more affordable options for irrigation and water supply are available – let’s investigate them first before spending even more money.  We must balance the growth of our local industries with protecting our unique and beautiful environment.

The people of Tasman must be listened to – I am prepared to listen.

Higher honours for first XV star Fletcher Matthews didn’t need to move to Nelson College to further his rugby career. Having stuck with Waimea College right throughout his secondary school years, the first XV’s main attacking weapon was rewarded with selection in the New Zealand Schools Barbarian rugby team after another standout year in the green and yellow jersey. The New Zealand Schools Barbarian team is effectively the national B team and was named on Sunday alongside the New Zealand Schools team. While New Zealand Schools players, like Nelson College’s Tom Hill, were given text messages confirming their selection, those in the Barbarians were left to check out a press release on the NZRU website. Sitting at home, with no phone calls, on Sunday, Fletcher assumed he had missed out all together until curiosity got the better of him and he decided to see who had made the squad online. There, amongst the 24 names included his friend Finn HartStrawbridge of Nelson College, and of course Fletcher Matthews of

Waimea College. Fletcher says he hasn’t felt any disappointed about missing out on the New Zealand Schools team, which travels to Australia next month,

ally excited to be part of it,” he says. “I’m not really disappointed at all I’m just excited I had the opportunity to make any of them.” Fletcher, who has been selected as an outside back, admits he was surprised to see his name. “I was sitting there thinking I hadn’t had a call yet so I was just more interested to see who had. But there was my name and Finn Hart-Strawbridge who lives up the road. I was just over the moon when I saw that.” Fletcher’s selection is also a big coup for Waimea College, after he considered switching to Nelson College before the Press Cup season. “That’s what I’m so proud of, staying at Waimea College with all the boys. I didn’t have to go down the road to Nelson College. It’s good for the other boys at Waimea that you can see you don’t have to go to a big school to make it.” The New Zealand Schools Barbarians team will train in Auckland next month before taking on a schools selection side. Fletcher has already confirmed he will stay in Nelson next year in a bid to make the Tasman Makos.

Richmond outclassed

A difficult first half and a frustrating second has left Richmond Athletic’s divisionEYE one side trophy-less WELLINGTON CENTRE from three competitions, losing the final game of the season 3-1 to FC BRABANT Nelson Sprig & Fern. Wmcelwain Veteran Matt Watson was the sole goal scorer for Richmond in the /21/2013 7:53:37 AM Price Charity Cup final, winding back the clock to score a second 391712AA half goal. But his efforts were too little, too late, with Jamie Cresswell missing the home side’s best opportunity to spark a comeback in the earlier stages of the second half, after FC Nelson had scored from three corners in the first 45 minutes. Richmond coach Marc Evans admits his young side was simply outplayed against taller opposition and that the result was all but decided by half time. “We lost Nigel Muir for this game with a red card and it ended up costing us big time. All three goals came from corners and he was the tallest guy in our side,”

Phillip Rollo

Reporter LTeditorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz PUBLISHING

says Marc. “If you PUBLICATION go down three goals before half time then it’s basically over. We just couldn’tSECTION compete though, we were six inches shorter SIZE than them and it showed.” Richmond were probably the betFAX ter team in the second half as FC Nelson spent more time complaining with the referee than actually attempting to score a fourth goal, with the league winners being shown six cards, including one red. Although Richmond were outmuscled in the Price Charity Cup, there was still plenty to celebrate at Jubilee Park on Saturday with two other Richmond teams making cup finals and the Richmond Thistle side getting up to beat Golden Bay 4-1 in the A.R Hurst final. The result could be considered a form of revenge after finishing second in division three by two points.

Any person may make a submission on the applications in accordance with Section 96 of the Resource Management Act 1991. Submission forms are available from Council Offices, Service Centres and on Council’s website. Please note that the following is an abridged advisory notice only.

Over the last 15 years the Tasman District has experienced continuing pressure for subdivision and development, particularly residential development, in rural areas including on land with high productive value. This is a powerful force for change in rural areas and the Council wants to discuss with the community to decide what you want to see happen, now and for the future. It is an issue that affects the whole District not just rural areas.

Tired of your rubbish piling up?

Roadside Spraying

Small bags (45 litres) – $1.70 Big bags (60 litres) – $2.00

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, Terbuthylazine 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 Lea O’Sullivan or Donna Hills on Ph. 03 548 1099 at Opus International Consultants, c/- Private Bag 36, Nelson.
