Rain comes down, vege prices go up Simon Bloomberg Vegetable prices keep going up as the rain keeps coming down and wiping out vast tracts of plants on market gardens around a waterlogged Tasman district. Lettuce prices at supermarkets and vegetable stores reached $4.90 last week after the second tropical cyclone and third downpour in a month hit the region. Spinach and silverbeet prices are also high after root rot wiped out large sections of crops during, what is already, one of the wettest autumns on record. “It’s been hard going,” Appleby Fresh market gardener Mark O’Connor says. “We get the rain and nothing dries out before we get the next lot. “We have one great big pond that’s about an acre of water. The plants get wet feet and die off - it’s killed all the spinach.” MetService records show that last week’s 44mm downpour was preceded by Cyclone Donna’s 62mm and Cyclone Cook’s
108mm. There were also two big falls over 30mm when large low pressure systems came in from the Tasman Sea on January 22 and March 12 - it was the fifth wettest March-April since records started in 1941 with 283mm of rain. Mark says the latest deluge was “probably the worst rain we’ve had of the three lots”. “The cyclone (Donna) wasn’t too bad, and the next was okay, but last Thursday was quite heavy and that did a bit of damage because everything was already so wet. It had a huge affect on the spinach and babyleafed crops - it doesn’t take them long to die off but if you leave water around for two days, nothing gets away with that.” Appleby Fresh employs about 80 staff. Although fungal disease is a problem, Waimea Plains market gardener Rob Conning says one of the biggest impacts of the rain is that it “holds us up at planting”.

Tense finish for George’s biggest fans Waimea Weekly reporter Simon Bloomberg went to his neighbours Paul and Marina Bennett’s place in Aniseed Valley to watch their son George win the Tour of California on Sunday. Here’s what he saw as George rode to his historic win. Marina Bennett is a nervous wreck huddled in her chair while her hus-
band Paul is like a sprinter standing behind the starting blocks before the Olympic 100m final - all cool and calm on the outside but ready to explode on the inside. Marina gets up and makes tea and coffee, more for something to do than to keep her guests happy. Psychologists call it displacement be-
haviour. It’s Sunday morning and the proud and extremely anxious Aniseed Valley parents are watching their son George on television riding in the final stage of the Tour of California. George leads the race by 35 seconds

I hadn’t noticed the high prices because my wife does the shopping and also we usually buy them in season when they are cheapest. We also grow some of our own.
The prices have gone up but we usually buy food bags and they haven’t changed much. The quick, fast foods are always cheaper than veges which is bad.
They are expensive at the moment. I paid $5 or $6 for a lettuce last week but it’s understandable with all the wet weather.
Tense finish for George’s biggest fans FROM PAGE 1 and is only about one hour and 40 kilometres from winning his first race on the UCI World Cycling Tour. But it’s going to be a long hour and the Bennett household is filled with tension as Paul and Marina and a group of friends, including Cleve Shearer and Robin Reid, watch George and the rest of the peloton ascend the last big climb of the tour. Cleve, who along with Jon Linyard, introduced George to cycling when he was an 11-yearold at Waimea Intermediate, and Robin, who mentored George as a young, up-and-coming rider, are almost as nervous and just as proud as Paul and Marina. The peloton reaches the summit of the last climb and starts descending towards the finish in

Pasadena. If Marina was nervous before, now she is terrified - she has seen George take some horrific tumbles on these frightening, high speed descents. She can’t look and prays that she doesn’t hear the famous cycling commentators Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett use the C word “crash, there’s been a nasty crash”. But Paul and Phil don’t use the C word, like they did last year when George crashed badly and knocked himself senseless in the Tour de France or when he crashed and fractured a vertebrae in the Giro or when he catapulted over a barrier on tight corner in the Tour of California in 2015. Instead, they start talking about George being the first New Zealander to win a race on the World Tour as the peloton charges along the flat into Pasadena. There’s only six kilometres to go

They open a bottle of wine that George got from an Italian team-mate when they was racing near his home town. The Italian rider assured George it was a very special wine so he decided to give it to his parents saying “open it when I win my first pro-race.” The wine, like George, had matured magnificiently.

Rain comes down, vege prices go up FROM PAGE 1 Some areas are also “too wet to get into to cut plants”. “We are already three weeks late on planting the onions. It’s so wet we can’t get onto the ground - I haven’t seen it this wet for years,” Rob says. Rob, who employs 35 staff, says the wet autumn “follows on from a cold summer” which also affected production. “The summer was very poor. The melons were only average and the zucchinis were well down on last year.” However, Mark says Nelson market gardens are not as badly affected as Auckland and Horowhenua which “had a fair hammering” from the rain. “That’s the game we are in. It’s frustrating but you can’t do anything about it,” he says.
Raeward Fresh Richmond owner Justin Blackler says there is a shortage of some vegetables and they are selling at the higher end of the price scale but the good news is prices in Nelson are still low compared to many other centres. “When you grow crops outdoors, weather will always play a part and sometimes it’s for the good, with flushes, and sometimes not so good, so it is all swings and roundabouts. At the moment there are some prices that are pretty firm but there are still vegetables that are relatively cheap for this time of year. “Fragile brassicas, like lettuce, are a little pricey at the moment but hardier crops like cabbages are great value.” Justin says the majority of his produce is grown in Nelson,

although the shortage in Auckland does have a flow-on price effect because “growers have the option to fill the shortfall in other regions and essentially prices are driven by supply and demand.” Although the shortage is pushing prices up, Mark says vegetables are still a great value food item. “I find it a bit frustrating because vegetables are always great value for money. People are happy to pay $5 for a cup of coffee and yet they complain about a $4 cauliflower that feeds the whole family.” MetService meteorologist Tom Adams says the weather is expected to keep drying out “until at least the middle of this week but, on the whole, the rest of May is looking wetter than average”.

Richmond town centre not easily accessible for all Simon Bloomberg A casual stroll down Oxford St turned into a nightmare for Tasman district councillor Stu Bryant last week when his vision suddenly became “impaired” during a workshop aimed at highlighting the accessibility challenges faced by people living with disabilities. Stu joined mayor Richard Kempthorne, councillors Kit Maling, Anne Turley, David Ogilvie, Dana Wensley and Dean McNamara as well as council staff and representatives from Accessibility 4 All for last Wednesday’s tour of Richmond’s central business district. They used wheelchairs, goggles that impaired vision, crutches, ear muffs and a mobility scooter during the hour-long journey and found out just how “scary” narrow footpaths on Oxford St, sandwich board “clutter” and overhanging trees can be for people with disabilities. “It was very, very difficult,” Stu says. “I have very good vision so it was a real shock.
“It was very challenging walking on the narrow footpath and quite scary with the cars being so close. The overhanging vegetation was also an issue - a lot of it was head high so it was a real hazard.” Visually impaired councillors who toured Queen St cited “sandwich board clutter” as one of the biggest challenges while councillors with mobility issues battled narrow doorways and steep ramps off footpaths. Street furniture and grey rubbish bins were also a problem for the visually impaired who had difficulty sighting the dull colours. “There’s too many things on the footpath to deal with there’s so much visual clutter,” Dana says. “If there was some consistency it would be a lot better.” A4A and Blind Citizens New Zealand representatives Brian Say and Kaye Halkett encouraged councillors to prohibit sandwich boards. “Eighty-five per cent of coun- Tasman District Council councillors, David Ogilvie, left, Kit Maling, second from right, and Anne Turley, cils around the country have right, with staff member Diane Evans, walk down Queen St during the Accessibility 4 All workshop last banned sandwich boards and Wednesday.

Tasman should do the same,” Brian told councillors. “People don’t read them, they just trip over them.” Although Wednesday’s tour gave councillors a good indication of accessibility challenges faced by people with
disabilities, Kaye warned that “it was a quiet day at a quieta time of year and it’s a different proposition on a busy day”. Dana says the good news is that the new redeveloped Queen St will incorporate a number of design features that
will make life easier for people with disabilities. “We have had input from groups through the A4A forum when the upgrade was being planned,” Dana says. “I think council is stepping up but we needed to.”

Supermarket makes most of rubbish

Freshchoice Richmond owner Gary Watson knew their supermarket wasn’t up to the mark with its recycling policies so he decided to do something about it. But what surprised Gary, after he invested in some expensive plant to reduce their impact on the environment, was that it also saved them money. In fact, the $65,000 plant is so effective at reducing waste, Gary says it will pay for itself in under three years. Gary says the plant compacts cardboard and plastic into squares which are sold directly as a commodity to Full Circle Recycling. The profit from the recycling “more than pays for the cost of rubbish removal” which has also been greatly reduced by another compacting bin. “Instead of us sending the cardboard and plastic to the refuse transfer station, we compact it ourselves and make money from it,” Gary says. “We used to get our rubbish collected once or twice a day and now it’s only twice a week so that saves us money too.” Gary says they process around eight tonnes of cardboard and 300kg plastic a month and that is compacted down into just 20 pallets. The only waste left that is not recycled now is dirty plastic and recycled cardboard which isn’t suitable for a second recycling process. Environmental research shows that recycling a tonne of cardboard can save up to 290kW of energy, 175 litres of oil and seven cubic metres of landfill. Although Gary says he purchased the plant for environmental reasons, he was pleasantly surprised by the economic benefits. He says investing in the plant was “a no-brainer for a business of this size” and has been talking to other FreshChoice supermarket owners about the benefits of the system. The supermarket’s policy on food waste has also changed, making people and not pigs a priority. Freshchoice Richmond used to give all their waste food to pig farmers but now most of it is collected by the Tahunanui Community Centre and Kai Rescue to be redistributed to families in need - a small amount also goes to Pet Rescue in Motueka.

Flooding hits Tasman region Simon Bloomberg
A blocked stream overflowed and flooded properties along Lord Rutherford Rd in Brightwater while a man was rescued from his house bus near the Waimea River after heavy rain hit the Tasman district last week. Emergency services arrived on the banks of the Waimea River near the Bartlett Rd Quarry around 2am on Thursday to find the man stranded in his bus. The river was swollen and fast-flowing so police called in Nelson Surf Rescue, who used an inflatable rescue boat to reach the bus and rescue the man. “When we arrived, the bus was about 25m off the high tide mark on the river and in just over a metre of water,” Nelson Surf Rescue member Noah Hosie says. “We launched one boat and had another ready if we needed it but we managed to pull up beside the bus in the floodwaters and talk to the fellow inside through his window. He jumped into our boat and we ferried him across to shore.” Noah says the water was well over the front wheels and rapidly creeping into the bus. “The bus was nose into the water, I’m not sure if he’d gotten stuck
Lester Higgins at his flooded property on Lord Rutherford Rd last Thursday. or was just camping there for the night but it was a dangerous situation and a difficult rescue with the swollen river, poor visibility, and strong currents. “If anyone had been in the water they would have been a goner.” Flooding also hit properties on Lord Rutherford Rd with one resident Lester Higgins saying the water in his backyard almost ran into his offices. Lester says the flooding resulted from heavy overnight rain which ran quickly off earthworks in the nearby Ka-
tania Heights subdivision and into Jefferies Creek which then overflowed into the properties. Although Jefferies Creek was widened by the Tasman District Council in 2010 to alleviate flooding, Lester says it still overflowed because the stock gates collected debris and formed a dam. He says the combination of run-off from the subdivision and the blocked stock gate caused the properties to be flooded. “The design of the stock gates is
wrong and they’ve clogged up and created a dam,” Lester says. “Most of the neighbours got flooded and the water was only 50mm from flooding into my office - it was a close call.” Lester says he has lived in his Lord Rutherford Rd home since 1978 and there hasn’t been any flooding since council widened the stream. However, he says last week’s flooding is a concern and he’ll be speaking to council about the problem and asking for the design of the stock gate to be up-
graded. Lester says he was grateful to the developers of Katania Heights who quickly sent staff from one of their contractors, Fulton Hogan to help pump out the floodwater. Although runoff from the earthworks may have contributed to the flooding he says the stock gate is the biggest problem. “I’m a retired farmer so I know about streams and water and stock gates. Council needs to keep the stream bed clear and fix the design of the stock gate.”

WW2 veteran will get his bronze plaque after all Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson WWII veteran John Beeching will get his bronze memorial plaque after all, but it’s the kindness and generosity of Nelsonians – not the government – that has made it possible. Last week, Waimea Weekly told the story of London-born Beeching, who was set to miss out on the plaque reserved for veterans, because he has lived too long. The 93-year-old has lived in New Zealand for 64 years, but because he is classed as a “Commonwealth veteran”, he won’t qualify for the plaque when he passes away, due to recent changes to the war pension’s act which came into effect on 1 July 2016. But since the article was published, four generous people have come forward offering to cover the $500 cost of John’s plaque, including an anonymous Auckland man, Port Nelson’s chief executive Martyn Byrne, a group of locals co-ordinated by Murray Leaning, and most recently, Nelson man Ian Martyn. There has even been support from as far away as Canada.
Nelson man Ian Martyn was one of four different people or groups who offered to pay for John Beeching’s veteran’s plaque after the government cut off funding for non-New Zealand veterans. Photo: Kate Russell. Ian runs the not-for-profit business ‘medals reunited’ and spent 37 years in military himself, with a significant portion of that time in the air force in the same ranks as John. “When I read the article, it really burned me up – especially because John is the patron of the RSA. They’re just skirting it for a few beans,” says Ian.
“So, I just jumped into the white pages, found John’s phone number and told him: ‘I’m paying for your plaque, and that’s that’, and then we met up. “I have now organised it all with John’s son Greg, and when the time comes I’ve told him to send the bill through to me,” he adds. “I just don’t know why they don’t wind it down once all the WWII
veterans are gone, and then change it. “It’s just sheer politics from a bunch of bean counters in Wellington, and I think it is also poor form at a local level.” John says he has been very humbled with the kind offers of support, but he’d still like some answers about why Commonwealth veterans have been left in
the dark. “I’m just gratified with amazement; I thought we’d get some reaction, but certainly not anyone paying for it,” he says. “But I’m just the catalyst – everyone wants answers.” In a statement to the Waimea Weekly on Monday, Minister of Veterans’ Affairs David Bennett says that in 2010 the Law Commission conducted a review of the War Pensions Act 1954 and found it had not been adapted to the changed social, military and legal context. “The Veterans’ Support Act 2014 clearly defines its intention to best serve New Zealand veterans, who served at the direction of the New Zealand Government,” Mr Bennett says. It is not know how many Commonwealth veterans will be affected by these changes, with the national RSA office stating that they do not keep the numbers of Commonwealth veterans, with their “primary focus” being New Zealand’s 41,000 veterans. Meanwhile, the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League, based in the UK, say the only figure they could provide is 129, which is the number of ex British servicemen/women they have recorded on file since 2010.

Bands rock Theatre Royal Brittany Spencer
Also vying for a spot in the national finals is Brooklyn Scott from Garin College and Dayla SchmutzerWard and Delilah Botham from Waimea and Nayland Colleges. They placed first and second respectively in the Nelson solo-duo section announced at the regional heats last weekend. Smokefree Rockquest founder and director Pete Rainey says from here on the Nelson finalists will have to be well organised and work hard to make the most of the opportunity the nationwide secondary schools’ rock contest offers. “They have to submit video footage of their original music that will be judged in August as we lead up to the national final,” he says. “This process not only demands musical ability and creativity, they also learn to work together as a group and to develop the organisation and promotional skills they’ll need if they’re going to make it on the Kiwi music scene.”

It was standing room only at Friday night’s Smokefree Rockquest Nelson finals, smoke billowed from the stage, the lights flashed, and the audience were up and jumping as Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls band Ivasa stole the show. The six-member band lifted the energy at the Theatre Royal, dancing around the stage and dropping to the ground in their two-song set. Ivasa impressed the judges with their showmanship, vocals, and musical talent, edging out Nayland College band So Far for the title of best band. As well as winning the title of best band, electric guitarist Luke Wilkes also took home The Mainz Musicianship Award. Now both Ivasa and So Far must prepare 15 minutes of their best material for selection as national finalists.

Jack Fletcher followed in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and great-grandfather when he walked across the stage of the Michael Fowler Centre to receive his law degree from Victoria University last Wednesday. Jack is the fourth generation of the Nelsonbased Fletcher family to receive a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Victoria. His great grandfather Walter Vernon Roy Fletcher (Vern) was the first lawyer in the family, graduating in 1928. Jack’s grandfather Ronald Alan Fletcher received his LLB in 1958 and Jack’s father Hamish Quentin Fletcher graduated in 1989. Jack’s great-grandfather Vern practised law for 51 years, was a founding partner of Nelson law firm Fletcher and Moore and represented the Nelson City Council for 41 years. Jack’s grandfather Ron Fletcher worked as a lawyer for 55 years, spending most of his career in the family practice. Meanwhile, Jack’s father Hamish has been practising law for 28 years, working with his father, even after establishing his own law firm, Hamish Fletcher Lawyers. However, the family tradition almost ended with Hamish when Jack initially pursued a professional baseball career overseas.

WWII hero denied bronze plaque: That’s ridiculous, I’ve known this man for quite a few years, he does not deserve this after he gave years of his life to protect his countrymen and country to fight in that horrid war and he’s too old to get a plaque! He deserves even more than that. I am disgusted. Melanie Pont. Wrong on so many levels, this man has also spent years helping other veterans, I remember his kindness to my dad. Faye Wulff. As a good friend of John and Wendy Beeching who stayed with us in Melbourne, Australia, in January this year, I am absolutely disgusted in the NZ government’s treatment of a such a great returned serviceman who has made NZ his home since 1953.

this situation, most have passed on. Seems bureaucracy, once again, has gone mad with power. Ed Geddes. This all came to light after I applied for my mother’s plaque. She served in England during WW2, moved to NZ to marry and had been a member of the RSA since then, also a life member for many years. I was horrified when Veterans Affairs in Wellington advised me that she was no longer entitled to a plaque. I then contacted RSA who were astounded to learn of this. Christine Paris. Funny, I thought the whole idea of the WW2 pilots, as with any serviceman, was to live as long as possible, but there you go. These brave buggers went off to face an uncertain future so the gutless bastards, whose biggest battle is to stuff themselves with as much free stuff as they can while in government, could s&^% on them later. Come on, you bloody oxygen thieves, get with the programme and front up with what these people deserve. Jim Partington. He should be treated the same as any other serviceman in New Zealand. All this shows me is that the people making these decisions in NZ are penny-pinching and hardened with no real thought given to the war effort of the individual. It is actually shameful.

Queen St upgrade delayed: All of this highlights how bad the layout is for traffic flow. We need another two-way street around the centre of Queen Street and sort the bleeding traffic lights out on Gladstone Road. What a blinkin mess! Who comes up with these ludicrous layouts with NO actual foresight into any future flows? I think you need to actually go and sit down at the roads, intersections and lights and watch how much of a stuff-up it really is! Mike Roberts. Why does the green light still go for traffic coming out of Queen St? Can’t be too hard to reprogramme. Reece Jones. Give the guys a break.

Denis says he is proud, pleased, and humbled by the honour.
Isuzu Utes New Zealand Limited’s national sales manager Andrew Collett joined Bowater Motor Group’s Chris Bowater on Thursday. Together, the pair brought Field Days to Nelson, displaying the latest Isuzu range, including the upgraded Isuzu DMax and the Isuzu MU-X at the local dealership. Andrew says it is always a pleasure to come to Nelson and already locals are taking home keys to their new utes. “We wanted to bring Field Days to Nelson so I came down to help Bowater Isuzu do some business today for the Nelson locals with a field days vibe, already we’ve had a lot of interest.”

Made for Men has long been the home of quality menswear in the Richmond area and takes great pride in offering a full range of work wear, business wear and casual wear. Made for Men owner Warren Ludemann has made sure every man who walks into his store finds exactly what he needs no matter what the occasion, from winter coats and stylish jumpers, to the smaller yet equally essential items such as ties, underwear and socks. If what you’re looking for isn’t on his shelves, Warren will do his best to source the clothing you require, “I like to think we go the extra mile,” says Warren. While the Queen St upgrade is certainly throwing up plenty of challenges, Warren has recently undergone an even bigger upheaval, relocating his store to a newly renovated shop further up the main street. The move took place over the weekend, ready for business as usual on Monday

however, customers can now enjoy a lighter, brighter, bigger and more modern shopping environment. The store is 35 square metres larger than Warren’s previous premises and after a complete interior and exterior renovation, is looking as sharp as the menswear Warren stocks. Made for Men was established on Richmond’s Queen St 17 years ago and from day one, Warren was been behind the counter managing the store. In 2006, 11 years ago, he took the next step in his retail career and purchased the business. Over the years there have certainly been some major changes, not only to the shop and the look of Richmond, but changes within the world of fashion, sometimes for the benefit of all. One thing Warren says he doesn’t miss when it comes to fashion is pleated trousers. Nowadays, Made for Men is full of colourful patterned business and casual shirts, New Zealand inspired t-shirts and a wide range of pants and shorts including traditional styles, as well as the more modern fashions including distressed jeans. Amongst the 25 clothing brands featured in Made for Men, Warren stocks a number of tried and trusted New Zealand brands such as Tarocash, Berlin, Cambridge and Frederick A,

Ingham stands tall for Giants Jacob Page Sports Editor
sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz
In his own words, Tom Ingham had his best game ever in a Nelson Giants shirt on Friday night. His timing was impeccable as his strong first half thanks in part to being in the starting five,
helped the Mike Pero Giants to an 86-74 win over the Hawke’s Bay Hawks at the Trafalgar Centre. What looked comfortable in the finish was anything but with one quarter to play. With Tom sitting on the bench, the Hawks won the third quarter 24-8, pulling them back into a match they seemed destined to lose by plenty at halftime.
Tom scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half to give the Giants a commanding lead. Tom added nine rebounds and two assists in his stellar performance. “Once that first three dropped I felt good so I thought why not shoot another and that went down.” Tom says team-mate Dion Prewster has been “taking me
under his wing”. “Dion has been working on my shot and when you have people like that helping you it makes games like this extra special. “It’s easily my best game ever for the team.” Tom says the Giants, who were missing point guard Kyle Adnam and captain Sam Dempster through injury, just knew they had to stick to their structures

and game plan in the fourth quarter. Key buckets from stand-in skipper Finn Delany (24) and Dion (23), who had an up and down night, proved decisive down the stretch as the Giants kept their season alive. They will now have to reverse the form book and take out the table-topping Wellington Saints in Nelson this Friday.
“After finishing my degree I moved to Wellington and was amazed at how much people over here rate NMIT. The difference between my ability and my university counterparts is extremely obvious. Half a Degree for Free has meant I had no student loan and was able to purchase a house recently.” Cassie Price, PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPERS, ASSOCIATE, WELLINGTON

School derby has mouth-watering match-ups
Leicester Faingaanuke, with ball, and will be the key attacking weapons for Nelson College when they meet Waimea Combined in their UC Championship match at Waimea College this weekend. Photo: Evan Barnes/ Shuttersport.
Jacob Page The saying goes a game of rugby is won in the forwards but when Nelson College and Waimea Combined meet in the UC Championship secondary school rugby fixture on Saturday, it may come down to the two men at the back. Waimea Combined’s flying fullback Mattie Stevenson and Nelson’s captain Leicester Faingaanuku may hold the scoring key to the fixture at Waimea College. Garin College’s Mattie has scored five tries in his last two games, including a double on Saturday in a 33-10 win over Burnside High School. Nelson College put more than 70 points of Burnside a fortnight ago before having the bye last weekend. Leicester is a damaging runner with ball in hand; he attracts defenders and busts tackles with ease. Not only is he the team’s top attacking weapon but he also kicks the goals. Nelson College will likely have an edge in the forwards through their superior size. Waimea Combined have forwards with plenty of ticker like flanker Reuben Chubb and No 8 Caleb Delany but a key will be if all eight can get parity at scrum time and around the park. Nelson College will present a mental hurdle for the young Waimea Combined team. Waimea will need to believe they can win, because if they don’t, they may find the match out of their reach quickly like it was 12 months ago. If Waimea Combined can get off to the fast start then their belief will rise that they can cause a major upset. Nelson College were pushed by Christ’s College in their opening game but have looked untroubled since. Waimea Combined has the ability to match it with their big brother in most areas but their biggest hurdle may be a mental one this Saturday.

Stalemates in two top-of-the table football clashes Jacob Page FC Nelson women’s coach Richard Scott is hoping his team can take heart from their 1-1 draw with table-toppers About Beauty Richmond Swans at Victory Square on Saturday. A Hannah Bibby goal was cancelled out by a Maria Gibney free kick. “We are very strong defensively and in the midfield and I think that showed against a team that had been winning their games by quite a margin up until this weekend. While FC Nelson appeared the happier with the result on a boggy pitch, Swans coach Nick Goody says his team was capable of producing much better. “I think FC Nelson did a brilliant job in shutting us down and throwing us off our game and we didn’t get the chance to play as freely as we would have liked with that pressure and on an average pitch. Nick says he was thrilled the Swans went through the first round unbeaten and didn’t see the result as a stumbling block. “I think we’ve been the best
team in the competition so far,” he says. “We’ve only conceded four goals and scored about 25 after our first seven games.” Richard says his side was at full strength for the first time this season and he felt neither team deserved to lose so a draw was a fair reflection. In the top-of-the table men’s league match, Richmond Athletic battled back from two goals down to draw with Nelson College 2-2 at The Broads. Goal from Joe Turner and captain Chester Gaskin cancelled out a strong start from Nelson College. Richmond coach Matt Campbell says the slow start cost his team a match they could have won. “Sure, it was great to get a share of the points from where we were in the game but you have to ask why were in that situation in the first pace. “We have to find ways of being switched on for a full 90-minute performance.” Matt says his team is aware this was the point of the season last year where things fell apart for them and they are eager to avoid a repeat of those efforts.

Hockey women to battle men in 2017 Jacob Page Sports Editor
sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz
One of Nelson hockey’s top female players has praised Nelson Hockey’s decision to mix the top grades of the club competition and allow top women’s players to play against men this season. Diane Webb, a New Zealand masters veteran is one of those players given dispensation to play against men this year as the sport looks for innovative ways to keep people in the game as the pressures of modern life draw people away from Saturday sport. The Federal player says while the men are faster and more physical,
women can and have been competitive this year, with a women’s team beating a men’s division two team last week. “It’s making us train harder because playing against men you have to be faster and tougher.” Diane says the step up isn’t as big as it seems on paper. “They’re a bit stronger on the ball so you have to prepare for that. “Nelson hockey teams had become a bit soft and that was evident in our women’s teams so I give them credit for coming up with this to try to change it.” Diane says with just two top flight women’s teams in 2017 the move has allowed more competitive matches and ensured the sport at club level moves with the times.

SportS Football Nelson Suburbs could not find the back of the net and had to settle for a 0-0 draw with Western in their Mainland Premier League match in Christchurch. The Tasman United women’s team did find the back of the net and earned a win and a draw from their double-header. Tiana Williams scored a brace to help them beat FC Twenty11 2-0 while they held Universities to a 2-2 draw in their other match. Netball The Mainland Tactix were not able to hold on to a halftime advantage to succumb 63-51 to the Northern Mystics at Nelson’s Trafalgar Centre on Sunday afternoon. The winless Tactix led 32-26 at the main break but scored just five goals in the third quarter , which sealed their fate. Rugby League There were big wins for the Wairau Taniwha and Richmond Rabbits in the latest round of the Tasman Rugby League competition. The Wairau Taniwha thumped Victory Phoenix 44-6 while Richmond beat Wanderers Wolves 60-10.

Jess is part of a quartet of current or former Waimea Old Boys players making their way up the ranks. Jess Foster and Sam Curtis, who now plays her rugby in Christchurch, are right on the cusp.

The Wheelers volunteers, including president and Shaane’s grandmother Christine van Hoppe, will help run the tour while the sponsors have provided performance and spot prizes. “It’s really good that everyone is helping me,” Shaane says. “I really appreciate their support.” Shaane says she is training hard for the worlds and is presently in the middle of a “power-strength block” that involves two gym sessions, an erg session, two road rides and two track sessions a week. She will also spend four weeks training at the National Cycling Centre of Excellence in Cambridge and race in the International Track Race Series and Tasman Cup in Australia from July 25-29 before flying to Italy on August 13. “It’s a big training load at the moment but everything is going well,” Shaane says. “I’m really enjoying it and can’t wait to get up to Cambridge.” Registration for the Mini Tour of Hope opens at 12pm. Entry is $10 for students and $20 for adults.

Talented young Tasman Wheelers rider Shaane Fulton will be taking a break from training this Saturday when she will be helping run a tour around Hope as a fund-raiser for her trip to Italy with the New Zealand team for the UCI junior world track cycling championships. Shaane was named in the 13-rider team to contest the championships in Montichiari from August 23-27. The 16-year-old Waimea College student will contest the sprint races at the worlds after winning gold in the under-19 sprint at the national champs in Invercargill earlier this year. But first she needs to raise some funds to pay for her travel and so has been organising the Mini Tour of Hope to help get her to Italy. Saturday’s two-stage tour will feature a race for A to D grade riders around the Hope circuit followed by a time trial up the Aniseed Valley hill. Shaane says she is fortunate to have support from the Tasman Wheelers and a number of sponsors including FreshChoice Richmond, Pomeroy’s, Sprig & Fern and Ra-

Use Good Wood for winter burning Look for the Good Wood tick when you stock up on winter firewood to be sure of dry firewood that will burn cleanly. Suppliers in the Good Wood scheme can be trusted to provide either: • Seasoned firewood, suitable for immediate use during the winter months, or • Green (unseasoned) firewood delivered far enough in advance, that if properly stored by the user, it will be ready to burn in winter. Remember, green wood will not burn efficiently, leaving you with a cold house and smoky fire. A Good Wood supplier will have a moisture meter to measure the moisture content of wood if you wish to confirm that wood being delivered is dry enough to use. Find a Good Wood supplier: Head to www.tasman.govt.nz/link/good-wood.

Over the next seven months, new water pipes will be installed in D’arcy Street, Fauchelle Ave, Florence Street, Elizabeth Street and Herbert Street in Richmond. The existing pipes in these streets have reached an age where they are showing signs of deterioration and need to be replaced to avoid disruption to residents’ water supply. At the same time, we will replace ageing water meters on these streets. At times during the works, access to the footpath and some car parks will be affected. Please avoid the coned off areas and follow signage and instructions. Traffic will be restricted to one lane for short periods of time throughout construction. Your patience is appreciated.
