Tug o’ Peace pulled into town The Tug of Peace’s first visit to Richmond started with some disappointment but ended in hilarity as the crowd of onlookers made the most of their crack at the reigning champions.

Around seven teams were unable to make it to the event that was held on a Saturday afternoon for the first time, not that Nelmac were complaining, the defending champions basically only had to turn up to be crowned champions for the third straight year.

Richmond Athletic had a shot at the title but were dispatched within four seconds at the fundraising event for Hospice. So Nelmac cuised into a tie with the Carter Holt Harvey contract team for the most wins overall, but their day was about to get tougher.

Given the opportunity to have a go at the big boys a mercenary group of 10 women from the crowd as well as wives and partners of the Nelmac crew stepped up to the plate. The women

quickly dispatched a group of five of the biggest opponents to a cacophony of laughter and a few red faces in the men’s team, finally it took a sixth male just to even the game.

Organiser Phil Wright says the format will likely change again next year to make sure there is a good deal of competition, whether it returns to a lunchtime occasion on a weekday or piggybacks a larger event it will definitely be back again next year.

Bouncy castle event a big hit A free event organised by a local bouncy castle business was visited by more than 400 people on the weekend.

Have a Blast Day is likely to become an annual event he says.

It was inspired by the continued increase in price of other events within the community.

The winner of the $150 bouncy castle voucher was Claire Brown.

FROM PAGE 1 Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne says it would be great to have as a motorsport venue, however the merits of the site in question are still up for discussion between the applicants and the local people.

“If there is support from people with funding to bring it about then it would be a good thing to have,” he says.

Garry says it could be up to individual groups to push for their own funding, like Saxton Field.

the Stanley Brook. The site is approximately 50 kilometres outside Richmond.

The consent meeting will be held at the Tapawera Rugby Clubrooms over a three day period from March 19.

Independent commissioners are coming from around the country.

If it is a favourable outcome Garry says they will be able to get on with in depth planning.

“So far what we’ve done is all conceptual, on top of the feasibility study. We know it can be done but we just need to get into the nuts and bolts.”

Biggest A&P show for 5 years The Murchison A&P Show enjoyed its biggest turn out for at least five years, on Saturday.

Held at the Murchison Domain, organisers were absolutely ecstatic with the number of people that arrived, including hundreds from outside of the township.

Organiser Sue Cooper says the turnout was a direct result of keeping the price down and good advertising. “We believe it was the best attended show in at least the last five years,” she says. “I reckon there were about 1400 there. We did a bit more advertising this year and we think that is paying off.”

Organisers will confirm the numbers in the coming days.

Talking to other shows within the region, Sue was surprised that the turnout

was so great. “What a lot of people commented on was our low charge for entry after some other events in Richmond and Brightwater charged so much.”

Some of the most popular activities were new for this year including the Murchison Challenge which saw competitors carry a pig on their back whilst running through an obstacle course.

There was also a car crushing demo, sheep sheering, the blokes cooking competition – where they had to make either pavlova or dog biscuits – and a lolly scramble. “The blokes cooking contest was a real talking point,” says Sue. Sue says the feedback from stall holders was very positive.

The weather on Saturday was also “perfect” and didn’t shy anyone away. “It was Keegan Prosser and Angus Matten ride the bumper karts at the Murchison A&P Show over the weekend. The show was visited by 1400 people. Photo: Sarah Peacock. a typical sunny show day.”

Top class bands for free show Some of the region’s most successful acts will take to Sundial Square this Friday evening for the fourth annual Summer Sounds concert.

The Peasants, who broke into the Top 20 New Zealand Singles Charts this week, Battle of the Bands winners Patcha Atma, Master Pilot Soundsystem and Ranger Danger will all take to the stage.

This will be one of the first public concerts that the Peasants will perform following the release of their debut single Letting Go. The seven piece Garin College act are the current national Smokefreerockquest winners.

Pacha Atma Sound System is literally a melting pot of world musicians, with members from New Zealand, Chile and the UK. They integrate the sounds of hand drums, percussion and didgeridoos with guitars, bass and electronics producing a sound which is a heady mix of the organic and the electronic, fused into a churning urn of burning world funk, drum n bass, ska, pachanga, house, dub, acid jazz, retro R&B and roots.

The band has had a rapid rise from sweaty beginnings playing regular nights during the winter of

2010, to being voted winners of The Woodstock Battle of the Bands 2011.

They recently won an enthusiastic wider audience after playing to 5000 rugby fans before the Rugby World Cup final at the Trafalgar Street Fanzone.

Event organiser and Tasman District Council community recreation officer Paul McConachie is ecstatic with the calibre of bands lined up to play.

“Having all these bands together sharing the stage on the same night is going to be one concert that should not be missed,” he says.

Complementing the bass pumping beats from the stage will be an amusement and activity section featuring a portable skatepark facility, as well as Blast Inflatable Boxing and Sumo Wrestling stations.

A selection of Nelson-Tasman’s tastiest food stalls will also be along, keeping nutritional levels in check and providing the fuel to dance the night away.

Summer Sounds begins at 5pm this Friday and entry is entirely free. It is likely to finish around 11pm.

Crew ready to douse competitors Members of the Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade have spent hours and hours trying to save just four seconds.

Those four seconds are what separates them from the leaders ahead of next month’s South Island Waterway Challenge in Methven.

The team heads down south this Friday before competition starts on March 10.

Craig Piner says the team is a lot more confident following their efforts at the West Coast Championship last month. “We’ve concentrated on three or four runs to get them right and we’ve cut good time off. So on those particular runs we are very confident that we will be right up there with the top teams,” he says.

With only members from Takaka and Rich-

mond competing locally, Craig says going to the coast benefited them immensely.

There are nine different runs that each team must complete. Trophies are handed out to each winner, but there is also an overall championship.

Richmond is a former national champion, but have only just returned to the Waterway Challenge after a 25 year absence.

Craig says the skills are definitely beneficial for fire fighters. “You know people who have done this because when they’re on an actual fire beam they can run the hose a lot quicker and they are thinking ahead. It obviously helps, but there is a fun aspect to it as well.”

Nelson is likely to form a team for future events.

NEWS IN BRIEF

SUPPORT GROWS FOR PURPLE CAKE DAY: Schools, pre-schools and communities from Nepal to California and throughout New Zealand will celebrate Purple Cake Day on 1 March this year, giving a big “thumbs up” to the two year old children’s charity. Purple Cake Day, established by Nelson woman Emily Sanson-Rejouis following the loss of her husband and two of her pre-school daughters in the Haiti earthquake in 2010, has been approached by schools internationally which want to make the celebration a part of their annual calendar. Last year proceeds were sent to Haiti and Christchurch. In Nelson, where the event was widely celebrated in 2011, there is again significant school and community involvement. Some retailers are going purple for the whole week.

OFFICER RISKS LIFE TO SAVE MAN: A Nelson Police Officer is being hailed a hero after putting his own safety at risk to save the life of another man on Thursday night.

The officer was called to an incident in which he was required to extricate a man from a running vehicle inside a locked garage about 11pm yesterday. Nelson Bays Area Commander Inspector Steve Greally said the Officer had to break a window to enter the building, extricate the man from the vehicle and then open a door which had been pinned shut before dragging the man to safety. The victim is in Nelson Hospital and expected to make a full recovery.

PASSENGER NUMBERS UP AT AIRPORT: The number of passengers flying into Nelson Airport last year was the highest ever, according to statistics released this week.

Just under 775,000 passengers either took off or landed at the airport, an increase of 7 per cent on the year before for the country’s fourth busiest airport. The figures are in line with those released a fortnight ago which show Tasman and Nelson are the fastest and third fastest growing regions in the country. Nelson Airport Ltd chief executive, Kaye McNabb, says that passenger numbers for each month in 2011 exceeded any of the figures from previous years.

Math students win online stock market game Phillip Rollo

If only the money was real.

Four Garin College students, Jack Keenan, Sam Harrison, Frank Quin and Jansson Ford, could have made a mint off the stock market, showing their brilliance in an online competition contested by 80 groups worldwide.

The competition ran from September to December, with contestants having to spend a theoretical $100,000 on the stock market to see who could make the most profit.

Within the timeframe of the game they have to buy and sell stocks on the American market. Not only are they competing against other schools around

Hold on to your berets and pack a baguette or two because for the first time Nelson will be one of the hosting centres for the French Film Festival. Running from March 14 to 25 at the Suter Cinema, organisers say movie goers should get ready to have a good laugh, shed a few tears, and experience a great deal of action and surprise.

Lisa Caron, president of Alliance Française Nelson-Tasman, says to host the screenings in Nelson is “very exciting” and great timing as this year there is a big focus on attracting young people along to the films. “We are hoping schools will come along and there has been really positive feedback,” says Lisa.

GOING SOLO: Phillippa Wood, 18, recently spent 10 days in Woodbourne learning to fly an aircraft solo.

Air cadet flies solo Phillip Rollo There was a lot going through Phillippa Wood’s head as she flew solo above the skies of Woodbourne.

Without her instructor’s voice echoing her in ear, she was desperately trying to remember everything she had learnt in just nine hours of air time prior to her

solo take off.

The 18 year-old former Waimea College student spent 10 days in Woodbourne on a Cadet Power Flying course. It was only on that course that she took the reigns at flying a plane.

Flight sergeant Phillippa joined Air Training Corps when she was just 13 years-old. But you can only fly solo once you are 16 years-old.

You must apply for the course before 35 of them are selected to join. Phillippa was one of only two females.

She says it is hard to describe the feeling of flying a plane.

“When you’re up in the air it’s a little bit scary to begin with. But we’ve done the circuit so many times before that it just seemed normal in a way,” she says. “You’re always more worried that you’re going to forget something, but they have drilled it into you so many times.”

The hardest part of the flight was landing the plane, she says.

applied. “So hopefully I’ll go into that, but if not, I definitely want to keep flying.”

She says the cost of flying is a barrier to flying regularly, but joining an aero club is an option to work towards her private pilot license. “At the moment it is quite expensive to fly, so that might be something I look at doing a bit later on.”

She also won a prize from Mount Cook Airlines and the award from Women in Flying.

Sergeant James Quickfall also did the powered flying course from the Nelson unit. James had already flown solo previously so he participated in some more advanced flying.

Nick Thompson and Izzy Prattley attended the Bushcraft Course held at Dip Flat, both completing and passing the demanding course.

There are 40 cadets in the 23 Squadron Nelson and joining is easy.

Phillippa says potential cadets can just come along to the unit’s headquarters on Dakota Drv on Monday nights during the school term. The parade nights start at 6.30pm and any interested is welcome to see what is involved. For further information see the website at www.nelsonatc.co.nz or phone Caroline on 544 0584.

Both Eloise and Mark have done a lot of emergency medicine work and she admits the passion for it was another reason for setting her future up in Wakefield.

“Because you’re further away you have to make do with what you’ve got.”

General practitioner joins husband in Wakefield

In the olden days, doctors would pedal around to visit their patients on their push bike. As a keen cyclist, Wakefield Health Centre’s newest general practitioner, Eloise Fry, loves the opportunity to do the same, albeit on a more irregular basis.

The Hope resident has joined her husband Mark Fry at the Wakefield practice.

It’s not the first time the couple have worked together either. Mark grew up in the region while Eloise is from Whangarei. The pair met when they were studying in Dunedin and Christchurch, they also went on to work in Rotorua together.

But since shifting to Nelson two years ago, Eloise says it was always in the plans that she would get the chance to work with her husband again and she is excited about the opportunities that working in Wakefield will bring.

“We’ve always wanted to have a practice long term.”

Eloise says the area is a lot more rural, which will create more challenges. “We’re

there is an estimated $3.2 million saving in direct cost savings. Let’s start thinking about opportunities lost if we let this opportunity go by.

TO THE EDITOR

I was very impressed by the letter from Peter Talley, supporting amalgamation.

He makes all the relevant points. Frankly I don’t know why locals have been given a choice? I think, like the local MP, that it should just go ahead.

David Cliff, Richmond.

In regard to the proposed union of Nelson and Tasman, I implore all ratepayers to concentrate on the important goal of voting for one council in the first instance before getting too caught up with specific council programmes, such as free parking or rate levels etc, whose time will come when the new council does its annual planning. The report shows we are looking at saving $2.65 million in management alone. This will mean our rates would be better spent on what we need, than paying for the current doubling up of costs. It has further been outlined in the official reports

represent only their Wards (not the entire district like councillors), who will similarly be entitled to vote on district-wide matters, yet they have a legal obligation to only look after their own Wards. Differing agendas, objectives and personalities happens within single entitle (if I may turn to Christchurch again for an example) not just between entities. And the proposed new council structure with an increase from 35 to 42 representatives across the region, does not give me the confidence that it apparently gives Mr Talley.

The cost of running the enlarged number of representatives is also concerning, with the Local Government Commission projecting increases of nearly $500,000 per annum for the proposed structure. Additionally, they are recommending that an amalgamated council should consider the establishment of a further six community boards, which, using LGC figures, would add a further $250,000 in governance costs alone – without including mileage, support costs, staff time etc – and a further 24 elected members into the equation.

Stuart Bean, Richmond.

In response to Peter Talley’s letter (15 Feb 2012). He certainly has a very optimistic and possibly naive view of amalgamation.

First and foremost, he seems to be motivated by the concept that bigger is better, or more efficient. While I agree that councils need to focus on gaining efficiencies, is it not necessarily the case that bigger entities are more efficient; Christchurch City Council is perhaps the most topical example that possibly needs no further explanation.

Mr Talley mentions “personality problems amongst councillors, personal agendas and different policy objectives” as a key problem between the two existing governing bodies, yet applauds the introduction of a two-tiered structure that will have advisory boards, with nearly mandated personal agendas, that are able to vote on all issues whether they are relevant to them or not; and community boards that are elected to

in plans, consultations, meetings and “endless talk fests”.

And to feel that they are adequately representing their stakeholders, the two advisory boards may similarly wish to consult on and prepare plans.

Planning and other processes that councils follow are driven by legislation. Like Mr Talley, council is always hopeful of less process, less cost and greater simplification, but to date central government is yet to deliver this.

For example, the latest audit for the Long Term Plan process which was supposedly to provide greater transparency has resulted in more time and consequently more cost. Based on the Draft Food Bill, currently poised to return to Parliament, it is anticipated that this will similarly be yet another piece of legislation that will result in cost to council... which of course means cost to ratepayers, unless of course a user pays model is introduced.

Will combining the two authorities lead to the best of both, or the worst? Amalgamation is indeed an opportunity for change, but is it change in the right direction?

Bridget Budget answers your questions

Q: I joined a new power company because they convinced me my power bill would be lower.

I waited for the first account but never got one for 3 months. Now I owe them a lot of money and they want me to pay it within 8 weeks, or disconnect my power. I can’t.

What should I do?

A: First, talk to your power company about an arrangement to pay the arrears. If they are non-negotiable, and you are unable to pay before the due date, you could consider changing your power provider to avoid disconnection. Then pay off this debt over a longer period.

Some tips about power accounts:  Ensure you put aside money from the day you sign up.  If you don’t receive an account after the first month, phone the company, let them know your meter reading and ask for an account to be sent.  Organise with the power company to have a regular realistic payment option, so you still get the discount and no big bill surprises.  WINZ may consider a special arrangement where power payments are paid out of a client’s benefit before it is paid into their bank.

If you need help sorting out and paying your bills, come and see us. We are a free confidential service.

St John on the look out for more youth Two of the bright sparks of St John Youth in the Nelson area are encouraging the community to join up and make a difference.

Richmond twins Morgan and Paige Spittal, 17, joined the St John Youth programme as eight year olds and have been active members since.

St John Youth is for all young people from 6 to 18 years-old, with great opportunities for those interested in leadership.

The twins say it’s all about having fun and meeting new people, all through programmes that encourage discovery, adventure and learning.

The girls say there were surprised at how much the programme has developed them in every day situations, adding that they are definitely a lot more confident.

St John Youth is currently looking for new youth leaders for its Stoke, Richmond, Mapua and Motueka youth divisions.

Collectively, there are over 120 young people involved in both the Penguins (6-8 years-old) and Cadets (8-18 years-old) programmes in these areas.

Morgan and Paige’s older sister Jamie was also a member of the St John Youth programme and is currently a youth leader in Dunedin while undergoing university studies.

Jamie has been National Cadet of the Year, Morgan being Regional Cadet of the Year and Paige District Cadet of the Year.

For further details about becoming a youth leader phone Tracy Simonsen on 544 5002.

Morgan and Paige Spittal, both 17, are encouraging people to join one of New Zealand’s fastest growing organisations, St John. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

John Ross and Vern Powell prepare for the annual Oakwoods scooterama day. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Oakwoods scooter fun Vern Powell might have flown Mustang fighter aircrafts in the years gone by, but his good friend John Ross thinks he could be up to the challenge of taking him on at the annual Oakwoods’ scooterama day, which is being held today.

John is a keen golfer and he says his golf balls could fly too, so he is not running scared. He has plenty of clubs at his disposal too.

The scooterama day has been running for years and gives residents a chance to have a bit of fun on their mobility scooters, as well as catching up on some road skills.

Constable Glenn Lloyd-Jones will be running the residents through some safety tips, obstacle courses, relays, rallys and much more.

The day gets everyone at Oakwoods involved.

Each week two photos from the museum’s “glass plate” collection will run in the Waimea Weekly and Nelson Weekly with the goal of exposing the photographs to more people.

Snowden’s Bush Reserve If you’ve visited Snowden’s Bush Reserve recently, you will see that it has been a hive of activity.

Janice Gibb and her team from Forest and Bird have been actively spraying within the Reserve and have been busy with more plantings. Ten rattraps and two stoat traps have been operating successfully, with many rats and mice already caught.

DOC have provided bark, which will be used to mulch the planted out garden areas, and also on their most recent project; the protection of the large Totara trees within the Reserve. If you are a regular user of the park you will have noticed the vehicles driving around the totara have impacted on their roots, which are very exposed above ground. This is damaging them and there is a great need to ensure their sustained growth for the future. The current wood post and rail barriers are to be extended to the outside of the root area for protection, and bark will be placed on top. A number of new Totara trees and other natives are being planted in the open space area of the park.

Visitors are encouraged to use and enjoy the area, but if you bring a picnic, please ensure you take all your rubbish home with you, or use the bins provided.

The Brightwater Summer Flower Show This was held on February 4th and 5th at the Brightwater Hall. The good weather made a great difference to the number of the public coming to see the flowers. Sunday especially was quite crowded in the morning.

We had nearly 400 entries ranging from Gladiolas, Dahlias, Roses, Cut flowers of every description, fruit and vegetables, container plants and a display by the Waimea Floral Art group.

The Mattsen boys entered into the school classes producing some very imaginative vegetable livestock.

Who would have thought of a caterpillar created from a cucumber with grapes for legs? Some pupils from Brightwater School grew sunflowers in pots.

Joan Heaphy won the 1st day spike champion with Sancere gladiolus and Lorna Kerr the second day spike champion with Waimea Raewyn. Arch Crerar, our president, won the champion dahlia.

Jeanette Mattsen won the premier rose with Elina a beautiful white rose. Raffle recipients were Lorna Kerr and Mrs Robinson.

With the women and third division sides showing their potential last year, Waimea Old Boys are looking at bringing in more silverware for the coming season.

Last season Waimea won the senior division three championship and the women’s competition.

But the biggest title, the division one competition, is still on the radar for Waimea, having come within a whisker of defeating eventual winners Marist, in the semi final last year.

Last year featured an influx of new stars in the backline, but with one season under their belt

already, brighter and bigger things can be expected.

Up front there should be a host of familiar faces including Crusaders wider training squad member Sam Prattley. The forwards will be coached again by Rik Taikato.

The backs will again be run by Waimea legends Dion Mytton and Mark Milne. The side could be without halfback Kaide Whiting for the coming season, though, as he is currently playing in Scotland. But they still have plenty of attacking prowess to call upon in the backline.

James Lowe will be looking to fire on all cylinders as he chases a spot with the Tasman Makos. James will be one of the players to watch this season whether it is in the 13 jumper or at back. He had attracted interest from New Zealand sevens guru Gordon Tietjens prior to the season, before making himself unavailable for the shortened form of the game due to New Zealand Under-20 commitments.

Pre-season training is being held every Monday night from 6:30pm at Jubilee Park and players wishing to join for the coming season are more than welcome to visit training.

The first match of the season will be on March 31.

The club’s division two team begins

its season on April 7 and is out to get back the trophy it last won in 2009.

Waimea had won the competition for the previous three years before surrendering the title.

Nick Marquet will be taking the reins as head coach with Patrick Pye again filling the role as assistants.

If any players are keen to play division 2 senior rugby please call Nick Marquet on 027 333 8066.

Now to the champions. The women’s team is back to defend its crown after beating rivals Stoke in last years incredibly tight final. The side is getting ready to kick off its season as they lead the club in recent years for the most championship wins.

The heavily favoured Nelson College first XI were all out for just 160 runs at Ngawhatu, before capitalising with the ball in return. Garin did not surpass 50 runs with the bat.

Waimea College were defeated in the final over to Marlborough Boys’ College. Garin and Waimea squared off yesterday.

V8 supercar legend Jason Richards was remembered with a minutes silence and a memorial photo at the season’s first meeting at Classic Hits Kartsport Nelson Raceway, on Sunday.

Jason’s motorsport career started off humbly when he was just 8 years-old in Nelson, taking to the KartSport track with ease.

When he moved from karting after 8 years in the sport he had accumulated 35 championship titles.

He would become a regular visitor and

driver to the Nelson track, despite his fame in Australia’s biggest motorsport series.

Jason’s career highlights include finishing second and third in V8 Supercar’s most famous race, the Bathurst 1000.

He died at the age of 35 in December, just over a year after being diagnosed with cancer.

The first KartSport race of the New Year featured a strong turnout, with many of the region’s current kart drivers there to pay their respects to the local icon.

A star with Jason’s “JR” logo was placed on two of the karts.

There were light winds and high humidity making it a very hot day for all the drivers once racing got underway at midday.

Final Winners from each class on the day were as follows. Open: 88 Andy Stratford, Rotax Max Heavy: 14 Duncan Barrett, Rotax Max Light: 68 Brendon Gridley, Junior Yamaha: 69 Clarke Mcfadzien, Junior Restricted: 11 Lewis Ball, Cadet: Josh Bradley.

Waimea revival seals qualification Waimea College will look back on their win over Nayland College with much delight.

It was that come from behind victory which booked their place in the zone 5 regional touch finals in Christchurch next month.

Waimea College had taken the lead against Nayland at the Tasman Secondary School Touch Championship at the Tahunanui Playing Fields on Sunday before finding themselves two tries down after half time, before a late revival ended the result at 6-4 in favour of Waimea.

Waimea then went on to face Motueka High School, who had surprisingly been turned over by Nayland in the previous round, in a decider for the final. A Waimea victory would have put Mot out of the running for the next round in Christchurch, despite holding the favourites tag going into the local event.

But Motueka made plenty of inroads late in the piece, despite the best efforts of standout Sean Clementson, and took the fixture 5-4.

The final two spots were then decided on point differential after all teams had also dispatched Queen Charlotte High School, Waimea getting up 5-1 in that match.

But fatigue set in as the final encounter drew on and Waimea were no match against Motueka, this time going down 5-2.

Waimea and Motueka will go to Christchurch for TRY TIME: Waimea College Senior A touch player Matt Watson touches down during the side’s Tasman Secondary School the next round late next month.

Competent and compassionate care, always Nelson South swimming club life member Margaret Young is on the look out for a missing cup similar to the one above.

On the hunt for a missing trophy

When the Nelson South four a-side women’s freestyle relay won the Ton Boulton Cup at last fortnight’s Nelson Marlborough Swimming Championship there was something missing – the trophy.

The Ton Boulton Cup was lost in 2007 and representatives from Nelson’s swimming clubs are on the hunt to find it.

The trophy was first presented in 1984. It is named after Ton Boulton, who is a life member to Swimming New Zealand.

It is believed to have Ton Boulton engraved on it. Phone Margaret Young on 5447752 if you have any further information.

Nelson Hospice provides a range of holistic services and programmes to meet the physical, psychological, spiritual and cultural needs of terminally ill patients and their families. As an organisation, it believes that all people in the Nelson Tasman community should have access to high quality compassionate palliative care, without prejudice.

Its services are available to anyone on their final journey including babies, children and young adults - and extend beyond the actual Hospice itself. Services are provided 24 hours a day, seven-days-a-week, throughout the region, including the Rai Valley and Murchison, either at the hospice or in the patient’s own home.

Hospice staff assist patients to make the most of the life that remains and make sure that their final journey is as positive and as comfortable as it can possibly be. They are also there to provide support and care for family and close friends during the patient’s illness and in bereavement.

The Hospice team is headed by an oncologist and

Hospice Inpatient Unit 40 Manuka St, Nelson www.nelsonhospice.org.nz

includes a dedicated clinical team who deliver competent and compassionate care. Their work is supported by a chaplain, counsellor, social worker, administration, volunteer and bereavement support co-ordinators, a five member Board of Trustees, CEO and more than 300 volunteers.

The generosity of the Nelson public is key to the functioning of the Hospice. It can only provide its services thanks to donations from individuals, businesses and organisations, and a large and dedicated network of volunteers who support patients and clinical staff, organise fundraising events, help in the Hospice’s charity stores, and act as ambassadors to raise the organisation’s profile.

Nelson Hospice’s vision is to “care always” and with the continued support and generosity of the Nelson community,it will.

ANOTHER SHOT: Hockey players Jared Jones and Scott Kearney have successfully trialed for the Capital Under-21 hockey team and will move to Wellington ahead of the winter season.

Hockey duo off to Wellington Phillip Rollo

MORLEY motorcycle & marine

Two of the region’s top hockey players are heading back to the capital for another crack at national glory.

Jared Jones and Scott Kearney, both of Tasman hockey club, have successfully trialled for the Capital Under-21 team ahead of the national Under-21 tournament in Hamilton on May 7-12, and hope to gain selected in the senior men’s side ahead of the National Hockey League soon after.

The Under-21 competition features teams from the top eight regions in the country.

Jared, a former Waimea College student, is confident Capital can go all the way. “Since I’ve been in it we’ve had a third place, two wins and a fifth so hopefully in my last year we can win again,” he says.

Once the tournament is over, they will stay in Wellington and trial for the senior side.

Jared says the hockey in Wellington is on a complete different level. “Hockey in Nelson is a bit casual. When you’re up in Wellington you have

A new high performance centre has also been built in Wellington.

Both Jared and Scott have played for Southern in the National Hockey League before Jared spent a year with Capital last year.

Scott, a former Nelson College first XI defender, didn’t play for Capital last year because he was coaching and playing in Marlborough, England.

He enjoyed the experience of coaching in a private boarding school where hockey was one of the top sports, but says the time away made him miss out on further New Zealand selection.

Jared, who plays up front in a striker role, went on a tour of Malaysia with the Junior Black Sticks last year.

Scott and Jared both have goals of being selected for the New Zealand Under-21 side. “Even though we’re both sort of there now, we really need to break in further.”

Jared moved to Wellington on Monday and Scott will follow later this week. tory in triple jump and the mens 16 100m.

Sam’s time of 28.33 seconds beat his personal best by 1.26sec and set a Nelson-Marlborough record for 12-yearolds. Sam also placed seventh in the 100m freestyle, taking 2.8sec off his previous best in that event.

Legend brings world cup to Nelson Jonathan McKeown New Zealand Rugby League legend Ruben Wiki brought a special guest along to the Community Roots Carnival at Auckland Point School on Sunday, a close friend Ruben likes to call T. Rophy.

The Rugby League World Cup was on show at the free League community event for children aged 5 to 12 years. But unlike the plane ride home after winning the Cup in Australia in 2008, Ruben didn’t book T. Rophy a seat on their flight to Nelson.

The most-capped Rugby League international of all time says he is impressed with the resurgence and growth of the code in the Nelson-Tasman region. “It’s good coming down to Nelson because I was talking to one of the parents who said back in

the 80’s League was strong down here and its getting stronger again so it’s good to see all the kids down here to continue the cycle.”

He credits the growth around New Zealand and especially provincial centres to success on the international stage.

“It’s just the belief mate, belief that we can match it with the big boys and we got the silverware which we still hold dearly,” says Ruben.

Switching roles from trainer to defence coach for the Warriors is another jump in the coaching ranks for the NRL Premiership winner but he still finds time for the grassroots and genuinely enjoys the Roots Camp.

“I love passing on the knowledge to these little ones and seeing them have fun. It’s what it’s about,” he says.
