Water scrap heading to arbitration Teresa Hattan

COOK IT GOOD GEORGE! Wanderers sporting legend and hangi specialist George Paki Paki, right, and his right hand man Ron Heke, survey the meat they were getting ready to cook for the Wanderers Sports Club Day last Saturday. George is well known throughout the Waimea Plains for his hangi, which caters almost every Wanderers function, to be fair though he doesn’t have much competition!

NEWS IN BRIEF

• The Tasman District Council has given approval for tenders to be sought for extension work to the current Queen St offices in Richmond. Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says staff have been located in a number of buildings and in temporary accommodation.

If the tenders or plans don’t meet the immediate and future needs the council will review the development further.

• A decision on whether the Nelson City Council and the Tasman District Council merge has been delayed until next month. Last week Sue Piper, chair of the local government commission, announced that the commission will make its decision on whether or not to issue a draft re-organisation scheme for the union of Nelson City and Tasman District on June 16.

Rubbish free day

One day in the near future St Pauls School principal John Dorman has high hopes not one speck of rubbish will be present in his school.

Last Thursday was rubbish-free day at the school and all students were expected to use containers instead of plastic wrap of packaging in their lunch boxes.

Although the initiative is currently an irregular one, John and the student council, who came up with the brilliant idea, are hoping it becomes a regular event on the school calendar in the near future.

“You’d be surprised at how much rubbish can be created from lunch boxes so we have an aim to reduce RUBBISH FREE: St Pauls students Mikayla Homesley, Emily Smith, Lydia Inglis and this and prevent litter from roamAnnalise Edwards, all 6, with their rubbish-free lunch boxes.

Water scrap off to arbitration FROM PAGE 1 per year from next month,” says Terry.

The major users of the Waimea Industrial Supply say they now need council to agree on the questions proposed so the arbitration process can start, with the ope this can be done later this year.

A submissions hearing was held by council last Wednesday and Terry says he was surprised they were only given 10 minutes to speak.

“I would’ve thought with an issue as big as this for the district and as important as this for the district there might’ve been a

greater time slot or some questions allowed.”

Talks of arbitration started last June and Terry says the process has included “huge” delays and the council have been “business unfriendly”.

“They asked us if they wanted to have one more crack at negotiations to which we responded yes we did, provided it was on the basis of the cost of getting us water not on the basis of what they charge the residents.”

Terry and the Waimea Industrial Supply main users are now hoping for a positive outcome at arbitration, which they are hoping will take place sooner rather than later.

The 20 Summit Challenge calls into Tasman this weekend with a brisk walk up Mt Arthur with mayor Richard Kempthorne.

The 20 Summit Challenge is to celebrate the rescue helicopter’s 20th birthday in the region and gives locals the opportunity to complete one, or all, of the challenges to help celebrate with the turst.

The walk up Mt Arthur is for children and adults with above average fitness, with the hike taking around seven or eight hours.

Richard says it’s great to support the rescue helicopter trust because they do an “invaluable” job. “The more support from the community we get the better.”

With the first walk talking place last weekend and raising $754 dollars in gold coin donations, organisers are hoping the momentum continues. “Anyone who has used the helicopter really appreciates it but we don’t know when we may need it ourselves,” says Richard. Register at www.20summits.co.nz or visit for more details. There is a suggested $10 donation and children are free, simply pay on the day. For more information phone 547-7278 or email paula@helirescue.co.nz.

The meeting point is the Flora Car Park but once registered information regarding driving times, meeting points and gear lists will be emailed to you.

A spirit of change sweeping through Hyundai is seen in the stunning new i40 medium-sized sedan and wagon.

‘Modern premium’ is the promise from trendsetting Hyundai, which believes premium quality and characteristics should be accessible to everyone.

The all-new i40 embodies it with several firsts for the segment: heated and reclining front and rear seats; a heated steering wheel; and an active demist system that automatically detects and clears mist on the windscreen.

The i40 will be best in class with Hyundai’s 1.7-litre diesel engine, codenamed ‘UII’, emitting just 113 g/km of CO2 emissions.

Designed and engineered at Hyundai’s R&D headquarters in Russelsheim, Germany, the i40 is the company’s first Large segment vehicle to be developed specifically for the European market.

Taking styling cues from Hyundai’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language, it maintains signature features such as the hexagonal grille.

“This gorgeous new i40 reflects the spirit of change at Hyundai, and for Hyundai New Zealand as well,” says the Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau.

“The i40 is a perfect example of how we are offering the best and making it accessible to everyone.”

“For example that best-in-class CO2 figure demonstrates the advances we are making towards global leadership in eco-technology,” says Mr Ruddenklau.

The wagon will be the first i40 body style in Europe, with a sedan to follow.

Fords an ‘accident waiting to happen’ on Golden Hills Rd Teresa Hattan

RESCUER: Golden Hills Rd resident Frank Goeddert says the two fords along the road, when they’re in flood, are an accident waiting to happen. Frank and his wife Tracey have lived on the road for 10 years and can’t even remember how many people and vehicles they have rescued from the ford and the flooded creek. Now they’re hoping people will take notice of the danger before someone gets killed.

You would think it would be an easy decision to make.

If there’s a fair amount of water crossing the road then turn around and go back.

But for local businessman Frank Goeddert, of Frank’s Trees on Golden Hills Rd, he can’t even recall the number of vehicles he has removed from either one or the other ford in front of his property because there has been so many. “We had to go and do a rescue three times in one week once,” he says.

A ford is a shallow place where a river or stream may be crossed in a vehicle. In New Zealand they often have ramps either side with a concrete base to make passing easier.

The water levels that run through the creek that crosses Golden Hills Rd can often get as high as the bridges that join the properties, so Frank often finds himself out with his tractor towing people from the water. “Sometimes the drivers will speed up to try and make it over, but that obviously doesn’t work for them, it can often make it worse.”

When travelling through the fords at speed, water will move under the vehicle and flood the engine, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage.

Cars are often a right-off. “Most insurance companies will know of the fords, and tow truck drivers and mechanics for that matter too. It’s been a good money-maker for the local automotive industry.”

Although it is a serious matter, and Frank believes someone will be killed trying to cross the fords in flood one day, the matter is often a source of entertainment for the couple, especially when throwing an event or having a BBQ. “We’ll see a car going past and then not see it come back, then it’s time to get the tractor out.”

Frank says he can see the funny side of it all but the vehicle rescues have become a burden on his family and his neighbours.

Frank says the unbelievable thing is that by travelling through the fords, drivers would only be saving around five minutes. “People are just in a hurry. Is it really worth $5,000 or even your life?”

The most memorable car to get stuck in the Golden Hills Rd fords was a small car with a 1300cc engine with an older women and her mother. “We were working in the nursery and heard someone call for help. The car had left the concrete pad and was about to go down the stream. I managed to push it back up and somehow they were able to drive away.”

Frank says he hardly ever gets a thankyou but this woman returned later with a box of beers. “She had lost all her money in a finance company and her car was the only thing she owned and I had saved it, she was quite moved by it all.”

Over the past fortnight with all the rain the region has experienced Frank says the flooded fords have been the worst ever. There is a sign warning drivers of the danger but that doesn’t seem to deter the keen ones. “It hasn’t made any difference, when the ford’s up its chaos here,” says Frank.

Frank and his wife Tracey are hoping the wider public will now take a moment when coming up to a ford in flood, because they believe it’s only a matter of time before a life is lost.

Siphon coffee makes a come back

It’s just like fashion; the trend goes round in circles.

Siphon coffee has recently made a return to the Nelson coffee market with two local businesses already jumping on the bandwagon.

Guy McCracken from Café on Oxford and Hayden Thompson from Pomeroy’s are hoping they can entice their customers to try this different form of coffee. The pair believe siphon coffee is more about the experience and say if you’re a fan of the drink then this could be something for you, especially if you favour black coffee. “Everyone’s used to espresso but we kind of want to develop people’s tastes.

Starting out people will find this just like a RESURGENCE: Cafe on Oxford’s Guy McCracken and Pomeroy’s Hayden filter coffee, but over time if they’re drinking it more often and tasting different origins Thompson with a cup of siphon coffee. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

they’ll get the hang of how complex coffee can be,” says Guy. Guy says the resurgence of siphon coffee will enable cafes to branch out and attract customers into trying something new.

So far he says his customers are interested in trying the coffee after only being in the cafe a couple of weeks. He says this could be because people are recognising the makers from when they were around years ago. “It’s definitely making a resurgence back into coffee,” says Hayden.

Both Guy and Hayden say they are very happy to see this form of coffee back on the market. “I always want to be doing something new and learning new stuff so this is a way of pushing ourselves a bit further,” says Guy.

Funding expo to be bigger and better

This years' Funding Expo is expected to be bigger and better than ever, with the Charities Commission and NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) coming on board as partners.

“The annual free funding expo is a must for charities, sports clubs, schools and community groups”, says organiser Judene Edgar.

The Charities Commission will also be providing some updates and regional charity information and promoting the Open Data programme and the new Officer's Kit.

The small group say the students at Waimea College are great kids and they have been able to have a lot of fun with them.

The home as such I remember well first in my having been a long resident of Richmond, now approaching some 70 years, and secondly when in 1968 the buildings were required to be demolished two members of our Richmond Lions Club (Bruce Brydon and Ron Vollmer) approached the Nelson Hospital Board to obtain the right to pull down the buildings as a club fundraising project. Our club were delighted to obtain that right for the princely sum of 10 shillings ($1), from which sales of materials earned for the club quite a substantial sum of money to be put back in to the community. Also during the time of much back breaking work climbing up and down ladders there was much camaraderie among the members and as I recall no in-

refugees from the Taranaki juries of any note were incurred.

Mr Bill Crouch was the supervisor and lived in the residence with his wife and daughter Ellie. There were 20 inmates and the men were housed in small detached cottages and tended the extensive gardens.

Present at the reunion were several ladies who gave service in the early days of the home including Mrs Olive Scully (nee Schroder), 1921 to 1928, Mrs Ellen Savage (nee Bint) 1921 to 1922, Mrs Doreen Fowler (nee Newport), 1933, Mr & Mrs A.

As the oldest living Matron, Mrs Leppien was a guest of honour and cut the reunion cake.

Mr Hunter retired in 1945 and Miss Kathleen Reed became Assistant Matron. From 1945 to more recent times many people have given service including Mr & Mrs Kinder, Mrs Shallcrass, Miss Caldwell, Mr & Mrs White, Mr & Mrs Adams and Mr & Mrs Reay.

Waimea College 10A remain on track Waimea College 10A retained their unbeaten record in Grade 3 when they accounted for Wanderers Phoenix to the tune of 39 – 21.

After jumping out to a 15–5 lead after just 15 minutes coach Mandy Whiting rung the changes as she looks forward to the team’s Year 10 tournament which is to be held in Christchurch in July.

Court time was shared as each player is given the opportunity to display their versatility as different combinations are tried.

Such is the talent of the Waimea team that six of the seven trialists were named in the Nelson Under 15 team with a seventh named in the Development team.

The remaining two did not trial as they had other sporting commitments that clash with those of netball. That’s one very talented line up!

Goal shoot Shaun Aindow returned commendable statistics after sitting

out last week on account of injury.

Shaun was ably assisted by Brittani Harrington and Courtney Zwart.

Courtney was versatility personified as she performed admirably in the unaccustomed positions of goal defence and wing defence.

The mid courters – Breanna Whiting, Jessie Matthews and Lucy Ingham had excellent timing through court and displayed patience on the feed.

Their through court defence was also effective.

Circle defenders Gracie Roberts, Annie Eden and Emma Deighton combined extremely well where they gathered in some great intercept ball and were strong rebounders which denied Wanderers the second shot.

Waimea will face stiff opposition within the next two games when they face Prices Pharmacy Black and Jacks

Pro Netball.

Waimea College B finished strongly to defeat Stoke Richards Woodhouse 31–26 in the Grade 2 game.

Although their statistics were not at their usually high rate, Jordan Dennehy and Freya Watson were effective and they rebounded strongly.

Wing defence Kate Kempthorne played a tight, restricting game on her opposite and the pressure she applied meant the defenders behind her, Ashleigh Inch and Megan Williams could pick up valuable ball.

Coach Lynn Olsen said her charges were coming together well considering they are made from a number of different teams.

There is still work to do on the combinations, however they did bring the ball through court nicely and their defensive work, particularly on the LINING IT UP: Waimea College B goal shoot Jordan back line throw in was great.

College have no reason to hang heads in shame, say coaches

Two birthdays in the team on Saturday wasn’t enough to give Waimea College a win over South Island champions St Bedes.

But the coaches are happy with the effort and commitment the boys put into the tough match despite getting “hammered” 56-6.

“We’re wrapt they were able to play the full 70 minutes with their heads held high,” says team manager Jim Matthews.

The St Bedes squad were a physically large side compared to the Waimea team, who were often pushed backwards in the scrum.

Players that stood out according to Jim were Dane Paton, Daniel McLauchlan, Sean Clementson, TOUGH BATTLE: Waimea College prop Daniel Woods takes the ball Riley Johnston and Luka Roden’s kicking, despite up field with Sam Johnson in support in their match against St Bedes on the three that hit the sticks and re-bounded.

the boys were able to get together to celebrate Jamie McKenzie and Luka Roden’s birthday on Saturday night.

Jim says team management are pleased the boys have been fronted up well over the past two games, considering they were two big games against Nelson and St Bedes.

“The boys have been showing they are a reliable team with consistency,” says Jim. Next up for the 1st XV is Nayland at Jubilee Park this Saturday from 1.30pm as a curtain raiser to the Waimea Old Boys division one squad on club day.

The squad then have St Andrews and St Thomas.

“Over the next three games we’re hoping for wins so we can end the round in the top four,” says Jim. The top four of each North and South region go into another draw for the second half of the season.

Sports In BrIef FOOTBALL: Richmond took on Nelson Suburbs 1st XI over the weekend and came away with a 5-1 win, with two goals each from Wes Olea and Jorge Donoso and one to Ben Wright. Next up for the team are the Marlborough Mariners this weekend in Blenheim.

HOCKEY: Tasman 1 went down to NBS Stoke 8-1 in the division one men’s Hockey Nelson league on Saturday. Waimea College were able to hold Arotea Kiwi to a 1-all draw in the women’s division one competition. This Sat-

urday the Tasman men take on Arotea Kiwi and the Waimea College women have a tough match against Waimai on Sunday.

Waimea Old Boys 2011

www.wobrfc.co.nz

Club day set to be a stunner after several strong wins Lightning strikes twice for Waimea thirds Stew and Terrance Beggs It was the first time they had met since last year’s stunning final and it provided the same result this time around too.

The Stables Waimea Old Boys division three side travelled to Motueka to take on Mot United over the weekend and came away with a strong win ahead of the Waimea Old Boys club day this Saturday.

Motueka United have a strong team that never gives up and these attributes shone through on Saturday and so the Waimea thirsty thirds knew they had to step it up from their muddling

display against the Rangers the week before.

It was a disappointing start for Waimea as the Motueka team rejoiced in gaining an early advantage of 5-0 in the first 30 seconds of the game with Waimea not even touching the ball.

However the remaining 35 minutes of the first half belonged to a spirited Waimea side, albeit a few handling lapses along the way. Some powerful running came from power house number eight Ali Fahiua, coupled with some great finishing from the backs.

Notable were Jay Wright and Josh Sto-

Highlight, well in his eyes anyway, of the half was captain Marc Hunter scoring, not only his second try in two weeks but also his second try in 25 years, proving that lightening does indeed strike twice. The half time score was 27-5 to Waimea.

The second half proved more of an even playing field as Mot United really stepped up their game.

Winger Cory Herbert showed some good pace and touches as did the loose forward trio of Luke Christenson, Ali Fahiua and Cliff Christenson. Some astute tactical changes from the coaching panel kept the boys fresh as they matched the Motueka effort.

The pace of the game never let up, Motueka FEND: Division one halfback Kaide Whiting fends off a Nelson player in a took full advantage of a seemly relaxed Waimea tough match for Waimea on Saturday. side and scored two late tries. It was an old Fitzy

favourite of ‘a game of two halves’ – the final score seeing Waimea take the game by 30-22.

This weekend will see the clash of the top of the table for round one winners honours against currently unbeaten Nelson Marist – given this is the Waimea club day the boys are expecting a big outing with lots of local, vocal support.

The Super Liquor Waimea Old Boys division two squad also pulled out a win over the weekend against Nelson, with the full time whistle seeing the scoreboard read 45-8.

Try scorers were Adam Mytton, Taiki Koyanagi, Ben Jeffrey, Paddy Smith, Todd Brodie, Jamie Galloway and Greg Monk. Five conversions were made by Paddy Smith.

The Stables Tavern Waimea Old Boys division one side however, put in their worst performance of the season, going down to Nelson 36-24 at Neale Park on Saturday. The boys now need to win their remaining games if they want to be in contention for the playoffs.

Hockey in Nelson coming along in leaps and bounds Tasman hockey player Jared Jones is just an inch short of reaching his ultimate goal.

The 20 year-old ex-Waimea College student is currently playing hockey in Wellington and earlier this month was selected for the Junior Black Sticks that will tour Malaysia later in the year.

Jared’s father Paul says he is very proud of his son’s achievements but will be even prouder when he makes the full Black Sticks squad.

And according to him it’s a case of when, not if.

Working in Jared’s favour is the strong hockey background he received while playing in Tasman and

Nelson.

Jared was recognised as having enough talent to represent New Zealand when he was just 16. This is a fact Paul would like other hockey players around the region to take on board. “If you live here and play club hockey you do have the opportunity to represent your country, you can make it.”

It is no longer a case of the bigger the union the better – smaller unions like Nelson are seeing the talent emerge.

And it won’t be long until the region produces a Black Stick, as long as Jared keeps working as hard as he is, according to Paul.

It was all about the kids on Saturday as the Wanderers Sports Club celebrated their annual club day.

With a whole heap of sausages and bread floating around Centennial Park on Saturday, club administrator Diane Drogemuller says everyone appeared to be having a great time, especially the children. “We had a good turnout and in the club rooms we saw people you wouldn’t expect to see so the wider community was certainly here.”

While the day is essentially a fundraiser for the club, Diane says it was great to see everyone having such a lovely time. “The weather was great too, we couldn’t have asked for better.”

With the hard work over there is already UP THE LINE: Wanderers Under 6 Blue player Brad- talk about next year’s club day, but the tidyup after this one has to finish first before ley Emerson attempts to keep players off his tail. work on Club Day 2012 starts.

TOP TALENT: Waimea College student Tom Ingham has enjoyed being part of the Fico Finance Nelson Giants squad and dreams of playing professionally overseas. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Tom looks to make a giant contribution Phillip Rollo Now that he's in his second year of the National Basketball League, Tom Ingham is looking to make a giant contribution.

The Waimea College guard is a member of the Fico Finance Nelson Giants roster and after a year as a development player, he's ready for the call from coach Chris Tupu.

After a slow start to the NBL season, the Nelson Giants picked up an important away victory against the previously unbeaten Wellington Saints 99-93.

The 17 year-old says the team is starting to gel with Phill Jones, Mika Vukona and Rod Grizzard settling in to the squad.

“Those guys haven't been at training, so it's quite tough to adapt. As we showed the other night, it's not going to take us too long to adapt. I think we're going to be set now,” Tom says.

But despite Nelson's star-studded roster, only one player outside the imports has not been previously involved in Nelson secondary school basketball, which has been hugely beneficial for the Nelson under-19 captain.

“All those guys understand the road through Nel-

son Basketball, they've all gone through that rep program. They can relate to what you're going through. They're constantly trying to make you better. They don't hold back. You're the young guy in the team so you've gotta bring it otherwise you're going to get embarrassed out there.”

The Nelson under-19 basketball side finished second at the South Island Championship at Saxton Stadium early last month.

Tom led the side which also featured a number of Nelson Giants development members.

He says their involvement in the Giants team has made the rep sides “a lot stronger” and gives them the incentive to keep chasing their dreams.

Tom was heavily involved in the pre-season tournament at the start of the NBL but is trying his hardest in training to impress the coaching staff.

But he says just being involved in the setup is making him a better player. “If I keep getting better and better then that game time will just come naturally. With Phill Jones and that around me, my game is only going to get better.”

Tom hopes to continue playing for the Nelson Giants when he leaves school and has a dream of playing professionally overseas and for the New Zealand Breakers.
