Fallen power lines will be costly The landowner who felled a tree that brought down power lines on State Highway 60 near Mapua last Friday, causing traffic to be diverted and cutting electricity to nearby houses, is likely to receive an extra big power bill this month. Four vehicles became tangled in power lines that were brought down by a tree that was felled near the corner of State Highway 60 and Mapua Drive at around 1.30pm on Friday. Although no one was injured in the incident, Network Tasman chief executive Wayne Mackey says the landowner
responsible for felling the tree is facing a bill for “thousands of dollars” for repairing the lines. “Someone felled a tree and it wasn’t anyone employed by us, so they will have to pay for the damage,” Wayne says. “The power lines were damaged and we’ll want them to pay for that. There was also a bit of damage to household appliances. I don’t know what it will all cost yet but it will be in the thousands of dollars.” Wayne advises that cutting down trees near power lines should only be carried

be carried out by a contractor approved by Network Tasman. Wayne says Network Tasman conducts an 18-month cycle of inspecting trees and vegetation near power lines and will complete the “first trim” of a tree or remove the tree for free. The landowner has to pay for subsequent trimming of trees conducted by approved contractors. Fortunately, Wayne says the majority of landowners followed Network Tasman’s regulations and Friday’s incident is something that “doesn’t happen very often”.
Sea swim raises cash for charity Fifty-six swimmers braved toe-tingling water temperatures in the Nelson Haven on Sunday to race 600 metres, symbolising the 600 New Zealand men who die from Prostate Cancer each year, to raise almost $2500 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Apart from the chilly water temperature of around 12 degrees Celsius, the annual fundraising swim was held in perfect conditions, with a calm sea and minimal tidal current. Simon Kneebone certainly enjoyed the conditions coming out the water first in a fast 6 minutes 51 seconds. Jody Keefe-Laing was second in 7min 2sec with Jon Linyard third in 7min 8sec. Event organiser Matt Hansen did well to finish fifth in 7min 20sec after swimming with an over-sized bra on the outside of his wetsuit as part of a dare that raised $100 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Kerry Mathieson was the fastest woman, finishing in 7min 28sec, with Jude Vincent the second female in 7min 56sec.

Cellphone drivers targeted Nelson Police are targeting people who use their cellphone while driving, as part of a national campaign. Area Commander Mat Arnold-Kelly said drivers using cellphones was becoming a common sight on the area’s roads and people needed to realise that the risk they were taking with their own and other road users’ lives was unacceptable. Mat says the focus of the campaign was to get people to change their behaviour and focus on driving.

The day may have started out in a miserable state but the Hope School Country Bazaar and Silent Auction was anything but, the rain lifting just in time for the gates to open. Organisers would like to thank the community for the huge amount of support they offered on the day with the bazaar managing to raise around $30,000. Unfortunately, or fortunately for principal Dave Pritchard, the $1000 total was not met and so he was able to keep his beard. The money raised from the bazaar will be going towards teaching resources such as additional school laptops and further teacher support for students throughout the school.

Local fish illegally Can’t meet demand sold on social media for properties across all price brackets Online black markets sales of fish using social media are increasing rapidly with 117 cases around New Zealand so far this year, including three in Nelson-Tasman. The Ministry of Primary Industries first encountered the problem in 2012 when four cases of online black market fish trading were identified. That escalated to 39 cases in 2013, 173 cases in 2014 and 117 cases to the end of August this year, and MPI compliance director Dean Baigent says offenders are facing prosecution and potentially big fines. It is illegal for people to buy, sell or swap their recreational catch, Dean says. Depending on the scale of offending, people risk facing prosecution and fines of up to $250,000 as well as forfeiture of any gear used in the offence, including computers and cellphones. “Many businesses have taken their products online, including illegitimate businesses and opportunists. Once upon a time someone offered you some cheap crays and paua at the pub - now people are getting Facebook alerts.” Dean says they closed an Auckland-based black market site with 400 followers in March this year and one of the on-

However, the scale of offending in Nelson doesn’t appear to be as big, with a MPI spokesperson telling the Waimea Weekly that all three cases were “at the lower end of the spectrum”. The cases involved crayfish, kahawai and snapper, and MPI sent the offenders a message formally warning them that selling recreationally caught fish is an offence, and directing them to take the post down. “We informed them that their details have been recorded in the compliance database and
further offences will be dealt with more seriously. We have taken no prosecutions or issued instant fines for this activity in Nelson.” Dean says fisheries officers and intelligence staff have been quick to adapt to offending online. “The pleasing thing is that people are quick to tell us about this sort of activity, no matter where it happens. We get a lot of calls to our 0800 4POACHER hotline about online posts offering cheap seafood. Six people have been prosecuted so far this year for trading black market fish on social media. One person was sentenced to 225 hours community service, while another was fined $8550. MPI gave three further people infringement notices and instant fines of between $300 and $500. Dean says people who buy black market seafood pose as much risk to our fisheries as those who do the illegal fishing. “If there are no willing buyers, there is no black market. If you are buying a few cheap crays, paua or a bag of fillets, you’re encouraging the illegal fishers to take more - it’s a vicious cycle and our fisheries and those who use them legitimately end up losing.”

Cops save man from burning building: A man was saved from a burning apartment building by two police officers in the early hours of Sunday morn-
ing. The Nelson Police constables were the first on the scene of the Atawhai Drive fire about 5.45am and broke into the burning building to rescue the man from an upstairs bedroom. A third police officer also entered the burning building with a fire extinguisher and attempted to put the fire out. One of the officers and the rescued man required treatment for smoke inhalation. Senior Sergeant John Price says the officers’ quick actions had saved the man’s life. “The officers who entered the burning house did so at some personal risk and their brave actions saved the life of another person.” The fire is being treated as suspicious. Digital plan submitted: The Tasman District Council has submitted the district’s Digital Enablement Plan in the second part of a two-stage application process for the funding announced by the Government. The first stage closed in July this year. The registration of interest invited councils to provide supporting information to enable extension of ultra fast broadband, rural broadband and mobile black spot coverage. The work, while carried out by Government funded contractors, will be funded where the most benefit will be gained. It will be a few months before anyone finds out which regions will benefit from the Government’s investment.

Richmond rips up at national competition Andrew Board Richmond Primary School finished runner-up at a national Rippa Rugby tournament in Wellington last week. The Richmond team was representing the Tasman Makos region after emerging as the top local team during various tournaments, the last in Rai Valley featured the top two schools from Nelson and the top two from Blenheim. The two-day “National Rippa World Cup” started last Monday with Richmond recording comfortable wins over Richmond Primary School coach Ryan Higgins, top left, with his team at the national Auckland, Canterbury, Poverty Bay and tournament last week.

Richmond beat North Harbour 50-15 in the quarter final before a semi-final against Bay of Plenty went to extra time. Richmond won the golden point tiebreak with a try after having to defend an initial BOP attack. In the final, Richmond faced defending champions Counties-Manakau losing 35-20. The competition is run by the New Zealand Rugby Union and starts with around 600 primary schools throughout the country. This year each team was representing a country taking part in the World Cup with Richmond paired with the United States.
PM goes nuts for Nelson peanut butter Simon Bloomberg Prime Minister John Key is a bit of a fan of Pic’s Peanut Butter, so that’s why Nelson MP Nick Smith arranged for John to visit of Pic’s Wakatu Estate factory when he was in Nelson last week. “I knew the Prime Minister was a fan so I organised the visit here,” Nick says. “When I told him he said, ‘that’s where they make that peanut butter’ - he was very excited about it. “But I also wanted to bring him here because Pic’s is a fantastic business that tells the story of New Zealanders taking opportunities in places where you don’t usually expect to find them. I remember visiting Pic’s when he was running it out of his garage and now he employs 40 staff. “A lot of people say you can’t take on the big corporations, but Pic has done it with his dynamism, a great product and staff, and slightly arty, out-there marketing. It’s a real Nelson success story.” John talked to staff at Pic’s during last Thursday’s visit and signed a jar of Pic’s Peanut Butter he personally filled, labelling it ‘John’s and Pic’s Peanut Butter’. “It’s amazing,” Pic says. “It’s exciting for everyone, especially my mum and dad because they have been voting National all their lives.” The Prime Minister had earlier spoken at the Aquaculture New Zealand annual conference during his visit to Nelson and later opened the New Zealand Classic Motorcycle Museum.

Long-serving principal retires Saturday’s Hope School Country Bazaar and Silent Auction marked the end of an era for the school and Nelson-Tasman region’s longest-serving principal Dave Pritchard. Dave is retiring on Friday after 43 years in teaching and 31 as principal of Hope School. He will be replaced by Freya Hogarth who moves from Nelson Central School next term. Dave, who is 65, trained as a teacher in Palmerston North after attending Freyberg College. He was posted to Longford Intermediate in Gore in 1972 when he married his wife Nikki, who also trained as a teacher. Dave and Nikki moved to Quarry Hills in Waikawa the following year before starting his first principal’s job at Maruia School near Lewis Pass five years later. He accepted the principal’s job at Hope School in 1984 and walked right into one of the most challenging times of his career as radical education reforms were introduced. “Maruia was quite a big twoteacher school back then,” Dave says. “It had about 50 kids because there were a lot of farmers around the area back then. “But we moved to Hope because

the our kids were getting older and we wanted to be closer to the high schools. I arrived at Hope in 1984 and the next year the big education reforms came in - we got school boards and had to start managing our own money and things like that. “We were told to do things that we didn’t know anything about and the Ministry of Education didn’t know anything about. It was very challenging and there was so much red tape it made making progress very hard.” Although the way schools are managed has changed dramatically, Dave believes the fundamentals of teaching have not. “It may sound a bit old fashioned but I still believe that structure, routine, discipline and respect are the foundation for good learning. That’s old school but it’s what works - they underpin everything.” Dave says he is going to miss Hope School’s “great kids, great staff and very supportive community”. “There’s been so many highlights. I’ve enjoyed being involved with Rock da House and teaching the

that will go towards teaching resources including additional laptops. Dave says the fair was well supported by the school’s pupils, parents and staff and the wider Hope community which provided hundreds of prizes for the popular silent auction.
Hope School is holding a Community Celebration Night at the Hope Community Church this Thursday at 7pm to celebrate Dave’s 31 years as the principal. If you’re keen to come along, bring a plate of food to share - refreshments will be provided.

Juicies win local firm top award Tasman Bay Food Group featured in the New Zealand Food Awards for the second consecutive year, winning the New Zealand Trade Enterprise Export Innovation Award for its Juicies Tropical Flavour and the Rabobank Business Innovation Award. The winners were announced at the New Zealand Food Awards at a gala dinner at the Auckland Town Hall last Thursday night. Judges had to evaluate a total of 150 products from 79 food and beverage producers, ranging from niche operators to large scale producers. Tasman Bay’s executive director of operations Marina Hirst Tristram says they are especially pleased with the Business Innovation Award which recognised the success of an expensive and high-risk upgrade of their equipment and processes. Although the two-year development has enabled the Brightwater-based company to export their iconic Juicies to South Korea, Marina says there were times when she doubted their $1million-plus investment was going to work. The Juicies are made from freshly-pressed apple juice from the Tasman district and contain no added sugar, making them a healthier option than conventional ice blocks. “When we took the Juicies to the export market in South Korea, the feedback we got was that the kids had problems opening the packets and they were too hard to eat. “They also said they were too cold to hold onto so that’s how our innovation started - we had three problems to solve. “We put juice in a tube and that solved the problems with the cold hands and the opening but it didn’t solve the problem of the hardness. “When we talked to our equipment suppliers they said we needed to have a high sugar or a high fat product to make it softer but we didn’t want to do that, so we bit the bullet and spent $150,000 on a machine to make the Juicies softer. “But it didn’t work and we had to modify the machine and our processes and that took two years. We’d also invested in all the up and downstream bits to the process and a $600,000 blast freezer so we’d spent over a $1million and still couldn’t make it work. “It would go for half an hour and then everything would freeze up. We finally nailed it about February last year but there were times, earlier on, when I thought we weren’t going to make it work - it was very stressful.” Marina says they have now invested in a second line of the innovative equipment that will enable them to significantly increase their Juicies production. She says the key to the success of their new and improved Juicies was the determination and skill of all their staff who refused to accept that the new process couldn’t work. “We have a really good engineer and really good operations manager and we have guys who understand juice. It’s quite a difficult product to work with.” Last year, Tasman Bay Food Group won the Frozen Award with its Juicies Tubes. The company produces a range of food items and employs 35 staff.

Another op shop opens in Richmond Richmond is becoming the op shop centre of the South Island after a fifth charity opened a second hand store for trading. The IHC opened its shop on McGlashen Ave on Monday, just eight weeks after the group’s Nelson committee first discussed the idea. It is the fifth op shop in Richmond which already has Salvation Army, Red Cross, St Vincent de Paul and Nelson Hospice shops. “Our association had a vision to open a store eight weeks ago and we only got the go ahead from our head office four or five weeks ago,” Nelson committee chairperson Gill Burson says. “We’ve done pretty well going from an empty house to this in five weeks.” The shop is full of donated goods with separate rooms for baby furniture, shabby chic, bric a brac and
clothing. Proceeds from all sales go towards supporting IHC clients in the Nelson-Tasman region. Although there are already four second hand shops in Richmond, Gill says that didn’t deter the committee from opening their shop on McGlashen Ave. “I know a lot of people who come out to Richmond to go op shop hopping and this will add another option for them,” she says. Gill says anyone who wants to donate items to the store can phone 5444744 during opening hours to arrange for them to be picked up by volunteers from the Menz Shed on Tuesdays. The new shop was officially opened by Barbara and Gilbert Leov who have been IHC committee members for 40 years. Opening hours are from 9.30am to 3.30pm, Monday to Friday.

‘Restore’ fully stocked and ready to open It has taken four months, 20 volunteers and more than 3000 pieces of donated items, but this Saturday the Habitat for Humanity “Restore” will finally open to the public. The Restore model is used by Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the country to raise funds. In Nelson, the store will rely on around 40 volunteers and donated goods from the wider public. Profits will then go to the local branch to be spent on building homes. Restore manager Becky Wyatt says it’s been a huge effort to get the building ready and the stock brought in, but she’s delighted with the progress they’ve made. “It’s been really positive to see how many donations have come through and the response from volunteers has been great, an amazing number of people want to give their time to Habitat for Humanity.” Last night, the national CEO of Habitat for Humanity visited the store in a special celebration with the volunteers who have helped make it happen. Becky says there will be some great bargains for paint enough. | wallpaper | curtains those who arrive early “More than | Iblinds expected. There’s some really high quality stuff that we’ve had donated.” The Restore, at 73 Quarantine Rd, stocks household goods including building materials, tools, furniture and other items. It will open for the first time this Saturday from 10am to 2pm. After that, its hours will be from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.

Rugby fan drives to work drunk A Nelson All Blacks fan was caught driving to work while drunk at around 7am yesterday morning. Senior Sergeant John Price says a 47 year old woman was stopped for speeding in Stoke about 7.20am. The drink driver was stopped on her way to work after she had got up early and watched the All Blacks play Argentina in
the Rugby World Cup on television. She was driving more than 20kmh over the posted speed limit. A breath alcohol test revealed the woman was close to four times over the legal limit at 943 microgrammes of alcohol per litre of breath. Senior Sergeant Price says there were three very concerning factors to the incident.
“Firstly we have a drunk driver, secondly she is driving well in excess of the speed limit and thirdly she is heading to work. I’m just relieved she was stopped before she, or anyone else, was harmed by her actions.” He says police would continue to be vigilant on the roads throughout the Rugby World Cup games.

I was interested to read this week that Harvard University was listed as top of the latest rankings for the world’s top universities. Like many universities, Harvard was founded on the search for truth, its original seal or motto being Veritas Christo Ecclesiae, translated Truth for Christ and the Church. Man’s age old search for truth continues to be debated and it begs the question, “Is it possible to know the truth?” For me, one of the most important steps to understanding the nature of truth is exemplified in a conversation between Pilate and Jesus at his trial. Pilate asked Jesus if indeed he was a king, to which he replied: “For this I was born and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the

He also says employers should have a conversation with their staff about expectations around staff consuming alcohol before arriving for work. “We all want to get behind the All Blacks and enjoy the rugby, but if you’re driving after the game our advice is to not drink alcohol and if you drink, don’t drive,” he says.

truth. Ever y o n e who is of the truth hears my voice.” Pilate then asked: “What is Ross Ferguson, truth?” Richmond Jesus was Community not merely Church. establishing the existence of truth, but he embodied it. This meant that everything he said and did and the life he lived in the flesh, represented that which was in keeping with ultimate reality and in his own words “I am Truth!” God’s answers to life’s ultimate questions of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny were demonstrated uniquely in Je-
sus who lived out truth in his birth, his teaching, his life, death, and resurrection. “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” The Christian message is utterly unique and meets the demand for truth. Just a look at human history shows why He was who He claimed to be and why millions follow him today. We could do well to take a leaf from the first Harvard University Student Handbook: “Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.

in their field Eleena Kennedy has an amazing relationship with the horses she trains, a skill she is hoping to pass on to other keen horse owners. On Sunday, October 18, Eleena will be running an afternoon seminar on the full anatomy and mechanics of a horse. Eleena has been around horses since she was born and has been extensively studying the topic for over 20 years. She has previously run similar workshops in Auckland where horse owners, or even people simply interested in how a horse works, can learn the skills needed to improve their horsemanship. Her workshop aims to stop people using shortcuts to get their horse to conform, which very often leads to injuries and bad behaviour, and instead understand how their horse really works in order to achieve positive results. Eleena will have a horse there on the day to better demonstrate different training systems and the horse’s anatomy, so bring a chair, a pen and paper and get the most out of this great opportunity. The seminar will run from 1pm at Stonehurst Farm on October 18. Spaces are $30, or $20 for those using Stonehurst for grazing. For more information contact Eleena on 021 191 8011 or email her on eleenakennedy@gmail.com. Complete Water Solutions have the products and the knowledge for all your water requirements.

Specialists For bespoke, unique wooden pieces for your home or property, come and see John Fry at Woodcraft. Located in the Alchemy Arts complex, John has a talent for crafting wood into beautiful pieces, whether they’re already a design on paper or an idea waiting to be let out of your mind. John has been a master of woodworking for many years and since retiring he has been able to give it his full attention, ten years having been spent working out of Craft John Fry Habitat in Richmond, and the last eight years in the beautiful Alchemy Arts complex. While his skills are capable of taking on most projects, his workshop is not so flexible and John now specialises in smaller projects. From repairs to creating something entirely new, his work for clients always requires their input to ensure they love what they are taking home. From a lazy susan, to house finials and more intricate work that other woodworkers won’t take on, John is proficient in everything including lathe work, although wood carving is his passion. For more information on the woodworking services that John can offer, give him a call on 544 1488 or call in to see him at the Alchemy Arts Centre and Café at 92 Bateup Road, Richmond. European cars are built very differently to your standard family runabout. Compared to other makes and models from Japan, America or Australia, they feature more complex mechanics and computer systems, therefore requiring a specialist who can offer the correct skills and equipment to service and maintain them to the standards they deserve. James Martyn from Prestige Euro Works understands that your vehicle is an asset worthy of a precise, experienced mechanic, and in order to achieve a superior mechanical experience, James invests in the most up-to-date and relevant diagnostic and mechanical equipment. From servicing and maintenance, diagnostic repairs, mechanical repairs and key coding, to accessory repairs and software or performance upgrades, James is your mechanic for any make or model of European car. European vehicle owners can rest easy knowing their car is in safe hands, without the hassle of sending it around the country to be fixed, James’ mechanical knowledge can also be applied to any other make and model of vehicle. If you have any queries or you want to book your car in, don’t hesitate. Give James a call on 544 9853 or 022 3616586, email him at info@prestigeeuroworks.co.nz or call in and see James at his workshop on 12F Gladstone Road, Richmond. RightWay is different to your average accounting firm. It’s a innovative, customer-service model that goes beyond tax compliance to find practical ways to help small businesses. “I find that clients are coming onboard primarily because of the personalised, friendly, and pro-active approach to our relationship,” says Nelson Tasman regional partner, Olivia van Vugt. Being part of RightWay means Olivia’s time is not caught up with admin, technical reviews or management, meaning she has more time to spend helping local business owners earn more and stress less. Of course RightWay does still take care of your accounts and tax, and they do it well, but there is a greater focus on the current and future financial performance of your business, rather than a rear-view, historical perspective. RightWay makes regular reporting and catch-ups more affordable so people can not only stay on top of their business, but have the opportunity to grow too. Olivia’s words of wisdom for anyone looking to pursue business growth include getting your business model right, staying on top of your numbers, hiring a great team, installing solid processes and systems, and employing the right mindset.

New Show Hom On the Brightside
The Village Green - Thanks to all the volunteers who came last month to tidy up the gardens of the Village Green by removing the weeds and remaining bulbs. The gardens are now to be barked and planted in native species for low maintenance, and a swale is to be cut to assist with drainage. Then we can install our new picnic table. Cycling on footpaths - This was discussed with His Worship the Mayor, Richard Kempthorne, on his visit to our community meeting this month. As cycling on footpaths is not permitted under the road code, it has become a safety issue with the Cycling Trail trust erecting signs through Brightwater to the contrary . The consequence is that Council will now urgently send out an engineer to view the situation and provide a sensible solution. This will be further discussed at our next meeting in October with the Council engineer. So, if you have any views on the Cycle Trail and cyclists, please come along to our meeting. Speed Limits - The Council is currently seeking submissions on their review of the Speed Limit Bylaw. Included in the proposed bylaw changes is the use of

Athletics presidential title kept in the family Simon Bloomberg
Newly-appointed president of the New Zealand Children's Athletics Association, Nelson's Brian Cockeram, won't have to go far to get good advice about the job that oversees 18,000 young athletes around the country. Brian was elected as president at last month's annual general meeting and will serve a two year term in the job after already spending two years as vice-president. But the long-serving official and administrator isn't the first one in his family to fill the role, with his wife Jan serving as president from 2012 to 2013. "If I have any problems, I'll just ask my wife what she would have done," Brian jokes. "But it shouldn't be a problem because I've been involved in officiating and administration of athletics for a long time - I'm very familiar with the system." Brian and Jan first became involved in athletics as competitors in Southland. Brian was a "useful" middle distance runner while Jan
was a thrower, with both representing Southland at national championships. Coaching, officiating and administrating were the next steps for the Cockerams who continued their involvement in the sport when they moved to Nelson in 2002. They now have a combined total of over 80 years of service to athletics and Brian says it's not over yet.
"I've got two years as president and then you do another two years as immediate past president, so by the time I finish it will be a six year commitment," Brian says. "But we wouldn't still be doing it if we didn't enjoy it." The next big challenge for the Cockerams and a dedicated army of Nelson parents will be organising the South Island Colgate Games, to be held at Saxton
Field Athletics Track in January. Interestingly, Jan was president when the Colgate Games were last held in Nelson in 2012 Brian says about 1000 athletes will be competing at the threeday games that will require 120 volunteers to ensure they run smoothly. Although it will be Brian's first Colgate Games as president, he doesn't expect his role to change. "I've been competitive
director of the Colgate Games for the last four or five years and will be doing that again. It means I'll miss out on some of the official president's duties but that's not an issue, that sort of thing is not me."

Waimea swimmers up to speed at nationals Waimea Intermediate made a splash at this year’s AIMS Games with some spirited competition in the swimming pool. Waimea Intermediate School swimmers Bree Anderson, Piper Riley, Ruby-Lou Stuart and Sophie Alexander represented their school in the AIMS Games (Association of Intermediate and Middle Schools), a sporting event held annually in Tauranga which this year attracted 8000 athletes from 228 intermediate schools throughout the country. The swimming section comprised 320 swimmers from 109 schools and competition was tough for the Waimea Intermediate School team with most of New Zealand’s best age group champions swimming. Piper and Sophie competed in the under 12 division while Bree and Ruby-Lou were in the 12 and over
division and their results weren’t bad for a small team of four dedicated swimmers. The team achieved 23 personal best times overall, six individual placings in the finals for Piper, Ruby-Lou and Bree and one placing in the relay final which was the team’s highlight of the competition. The girls swam their hearts out for the 200m free relay, moving from 11th to 9th place overall and being the only all-girls team and the only South Island team to make the finals, an outstanding achievement in a mixed grade. Overall, with the points they were awarded in all their races, Waimea was placed 15th out of 46 girls’ teams. The girls hope their success at this year’s AIMS Games will encourage more Nelson teams to take part in the future.

Miles, Sam Wilson and Sam Carney have also been impressive this season. Beth is the South Island level 8 champion while Gracie, who will compete in Level 7, was the South Island and national Level 6 champion. “At her best, Beth could get a national placing and Gracie is defending her title,” Yvonne says. “Renee has had good results too, and they have all done four or five competitions around New Zealand to get experience, so they are all well-prepared. But anything can happen in rhythmic gymnastics. You only need to drop a ball and that’s it.”.

Senior A Girls Basketball The Waimea College Senior A Girls Basketball team are about to head to the National Secondary Schools tournament in Palmerston North. This national competition provides an opportunity for the top 24 teams from throughout the country to meet and battle it out on the court. The Waimea College Senior Girls have had a great season so far, most recently travelling to Dunedin to take part in what proved to be a tough tournament at the recent Secondary Schools Qualifier. After rarely being challenged in pool play or in their quarter final, the team had a tough semi-final match up against St Hilda’s Collegiate. The team from St Hilda’s won the semi final against Waimea, and were the eventual tournament winners after beating Christchurch Girls High School by 20 points in the final. Waimea played Rangiora in the playoff match for third and fourth place, and were just pipped at the post with a controversial foul on the three point line not being called, meaning Waimea lost by two points, and finished fourth. The competition at this tournament was particularly strong this year. The Waimea Girls Senior A team
was the only Nelson team (boys or girls) to qualify at the South Island tournament, so will be our sole representatives at the national tournament. This season the girls have had to play their weekly matches in the boy’s grade for the local schools competition, due to a lack of opposition in the girl’s grade. Final games in the boys grade take place this week and the girls will play off for third and fourth on Wednesday night. Likewise, the girls have competed soundly in the Women’s A grade competition held every Sunday, to the point where they made the final against the Stoke-Nayland team. The final match was a nail biter the whole way through. Stoke-Nayland got off to a flying start to be up nine nil, however the Waimea girls put the full court press on, and created many a turnover, to come back and only be down by one point at half time. The third quarter was a bucket for bucket affair and it wasn’t till the fourth quarter that Waimea really took over. Their great defensive pressure gained Waimea valuable ball which they were easily able to convert into points at the offensive end.
Phone 03 544 9037 Proud to sponsor
The girls showed steady composure to run their plays well and score clutch baskets. Waimea eventually ran away in the fourth quarter to win by 11 points in a game that will surely give them much needed confidence. This successful end to the local competition is perfect preparation for the team as

Waimea Toi Toi United Cricket Celebrating their 25th Jubilee When Richmond Toi Toi and Waimea cricket clubs merged in the summer of 1990, the aim was to create a stronger team to compete in the top flight of club cricket – it seems the plan has worked. Twenty-five years later, the club has numerous club titles to its name and ten of its players have gone on to represent Central Districts at first class level. Current captain and club president Jon Routhan says the club is in great heart and is looking forward to celebrating its 25th jubilee this season. Waimea Toi Toi United was established when the Jubilee Park-based Waimea Cricket Club, an off-shoot of the Waimea Old Boys rugby club, won promotion from the second division to the top level in Nelson. To boost the side the club decided to amalgamate with Richmond Toi Toi, which was playing at Greenmeadows. The new club initially based itself at Ben Cooper Park in Richmond and attracted some top talent.

Waimea Toi Toi Untied celebrate winning the Kelvin Scoble Trophy at Saxton Oval in 2013. Wightman are all club players to have played for Central Districts over the years. This season the club is hoping to better its haul from last year when it won one trophy. That campaign will start on October 10 when the seniors play their first game at a temporary home ground of Lower Ngawatu. Jon says Jubilee Park is undergoing some repairs to its pitch this summer so they’ve had to move. The club’s second division team, led by Cade Armstrong this year, will kick of its season the week after on October 17. On November 22, the club will host the annual Pete Wilde Memorial six-a-side tourna-
ment and in mid-February it will play a Legends v Current Twenty/20 game, followed by a black tie dinner to celebrate the past 25 years. Jon says this year is a special one and club want to celebrate it properly. “We’re a proud club and have had some great achievements over the years so it will be a special season and we’re looking forward it.” He says the club is keen to welcome back any players who may want to rejoin this season, or any new players who want to give it a go. If you’re keen to play cricket for Waimea Toi Toi United this season phone Leath Armstrong on 021 108 0630.
