Queen St retailers stay upbeat during upgrade Queen St retailers are experiencing a downturn in business as the street’s upgrade gets into full swing but many are remaining positive about the project with one business manager saying “these guys will soon move on and we’ll have a really nice little main street.”

The Tasman District Council’s $11million upgrade started on February 7 and is designed to increase the capacity of stormwater pipes and direct water away from buildings to prevent the flooding that devastated Queen St businesses in 2011 and 2013.

Ageing water and wastewater pipes and telecommunications and power services are also being replaced and the streetscape modernised to create a more pedestrian-friendly space for the community.

Richmond Hospice Shop manager Karen MacKenzie-Howe says their business took a big hit during the installation of the main water pipe along the length of Queen St which has just been completed. She says the Richmond shop went from being

Riders enjoy big day out Simon Bloomberg Reporter

Three hundred and sixty-five riders completed 1190 laps, 10,115km and 184,000 metres of vertical climbing and had a blast doing it at the Port Nelson Kaiteriteri Six Hour Mountainbike Relay on Saturday.

The popular event attracted riders of all ages and abilities with super-fast solo rider Henry Jaine leading the charge, completing 14 laps in 5 hours 47 minutes and 30 seconds. But for most of the riders, the day was more about enjoyment than speed and Team USA certainly led the way when it came to having fun.

It was impossible to miss Tommy

Winnington, Jude Saxon, Lloyd Elston and Cam Moore riding in their Stars and Stripes outfits chanting ‘USA, USA’. However, Tommy made clear that they were not fans of US president Donald Trump, announcing loudly through the team’s loud hailer that “we are not, in any way, affiliated to the United States.”

One of the event organisers Craig

Skillicorn says they were delighted with the number and diversity of riders. Nelson’s Tom Dunn, 74, showed that age is no barrier to getting on your bike, riding four laps for his team MTM. Craig says the event also attracted plenty of families and school teams with riders as young as nine lining up with their mums and dads.

Morley Motorcycle and Marine managing director Ian Robinson is so “bloody angry” after “two dirty thieving little bastards” stole a new $14,500 motorcycle from his shop early on Monday morning that he has put up a $5000 reward for information leading to their prosecution.

The two burglars were seen on Morley’s security cameras removing a window on the shop’s frontage on Elms St in Wakatu Estate at 1.20am and then entering the shop soon after to steal the 2017 CRF450RX bike at 1.49am.

Ian says it was clearly a professional job with the two burglars wearing thermallyinsulated clothing to evade infra-red detectors and crawling underneath a secu-

rity beam near the window.

Ian says the shop’s alarm was only activated when the bike broke the security beam as it was dragged through the window. The burglars appeared to make their getaway through the end of Elms St, over Orphanage Creek and into the car park near neighbouring Placemakers.

“The alarm went off at 1.49am and the security company was here seven minutes later and I arrived after another five minutes. The police arrived 10 minutes after me and a dog tracked them into Placemakers but it was too late - they’d already gone.

It is the third time in three years that Morley’s has been burgled after one bike was stolen in 2014 and two bikes were stolen last November and Ian says he’s had enough.

“We’ve just spent $8000 putting a new camera system in since the last break-in. We had an insurance risk assessor come in before Easter and he said we are doing everything right but I’ll spend more on security if I have to.

“But what I really want to see is these two dirty thieving little bastards caught and locked up. And I don’t want someone telling me it’s a systemic problem and blaming everybody else - I’m bloody angry and I want them held to account.”

Senior sergeant John Price of the Nelson police says “there’s nothing to report” so far on their investigation into the theft. He says it’s an unusual model of motorcycle so there’s a chance that someone may see it or heard about it and contact police.

Anzac Day services keep getting bigger

Simon Bloomberg Hundreds of people attended Anzac Day services around the Tasman district as big crowds remembered the men and women from the region who served their country.

A record crowd of around 350 attended the first service of the day at Brightwater and that set the benchmark for subsequent services at Wakefield, Murchison, Mapua, Upper Moutere and Lake Rotoiti. There was also standing room only at the Richmond service in the War Memorial Gardens following the traditional Anzac Parade

down Queen St. Alan (Dobbie) Dobson, who has been attending Anzac Day services at the Brightwater Hall Memorial Gates for 20 years, says it was easily the biggest attendance that he can remember. Dobbie says Anzac Day is growing in popularity and the installation of a new Spring Grove and Waimea West memorial next to the Brightwater Memorial Gates had encouraged even more people to attend Tuesday’s commemoration.

“A lot of Spring Grove and Waimea West names are on those plaques so I think that’s

why there’s so many people here today - it’s huge,” Dobbie says.

Richmond-Waimea RSA Chaplain Peter Bean, who served in the Royal New Zealand Navy for 20 years and spoke at the Richmond service, says the number of children attending Anzac Day services is especially pleasing.

“The children are talking about what their grandfathers did and that didn’t happen 30 or 40 years ago - it’s giving Anzac Day a new life. All the young children are coming out to Anzac Day now and that makes us old buggers come out too.”

Queen St retailers staying upbeat during upgrade from page 1 the “flagship” of the five hospice shops in Nelson-Tasman to the poorest performer and she is expecting a similar downturn when the staged construction moves outside their shop later this month.

“It’s having a massive impact but we knew it was going to happen and we’ve been proactive about it.

We will be running a promotion with the Pelorus Mail Boat in the winter to try and entice shoppers to come and see us and we’ll be relying on our die-hard customers who would scale fences to shop here.”

Karen’s volunteer staff have also installed a Queen St upgradethemed window display, complete with road cones, hard hats and road works signs that sends a loud and clear message that ‘it’s business as usual at your hospice shop’. She is optimistic that the support of shoppers and neighbouring retailers as well as sensible management during the upgrade will ensure they get through the downturn.

Richmond Unlimited is also planning a promotion to attract shoppers to Richmond with $5000 in cash going to one lucky shopper in the Cash on Queen competition starting at the end of next month. Richmond Unlimited marketing committee member Steve Page says the promotion will run for five weeks and be open to all shoppers who purchase any item in shops on Queen St. Steve says Richmond Unlimited is focused on supporting retailers “through this difficult period”.

He says they are presently working on signage informing people that all the businesses are still operating as well as promotional activities like Cash on Queen to encourage people to shop in Richmond.

Richmond Unlimited is encouraging shoppers to support all the retailers during the upgrade saying in a statement that “the public needs to support all of their

“If you need to walk an extra 100m to visit a retailer or business then we should all be doing that. Don’t forget them, we all want them to survive so we can enjoy a better Queen St.” Garry Higgins of the Richmond Roast House says his business is

“Sure it’s tough but we are a lot better off than places like Kaikoura and Christchurch and we know that these guys will soon move on and we’ll have really nice little main street,” Garry says. “We also knew it was coming and had time to plan for it - I worked out how much it was going to affect

me and I was pretty much right on the mark.”’

Garry says he’s also grateful for the support of his loyal customers who still “make the long walk to come here”.

Village Cycles co-owner Andy Reid is also looking forward to the completion of the upgrade which he says “will be great for us and beneficial for the entire community.” Although the loss of parking and access are taking a toll on their business, Andy says the excessive construction noise is one of his biggest concerns.

“We are a destination shop and have a loyal base of customers but we are missing out on the walkin customers. The noise from the excavators and jack hammers is also really bad - you can’t hear yourself think at times.”

Noel Lemming’s manager Hayden Lawton says he doesn’t have any complaints about “what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. They’ve been really accommodating for us. They’re keeping our carpark open, apart from when they have to seal the road outside it.”

However, Hayden says foot traffic has dropped “mainly due to public confusion around what is open and what’s not” and because “people just can’t be bothered so they go elsewhere or don’t bother at all”.

“That’s been the biggest hurdle for us to overcome - people knowing that our carpark is still open.”

The contractor’s community relations manager for the project, Chris Forman of Hawkins Infrastructure says concerns about excessive noise from machinery are being addressed with plans to trial a new, quieter concrete breaker and sonic barriers “within the next month”. Chris says noise levels during the first stage of construction between Gladstone Rd and McIndoe Place have been higher than expected because of the thickness of concrete covering the storm water pipes that are being replaced.

However, the bad news for Village Cycles and neighbouring retailers is that the completion of the first stage of the project has been delayed by two weeks. Chris says they have encountered so many pipes that weren’t mapped on the plans that it is taking longer than expected to progress to stage two.

Stage one will now be completed by the end of May with stage two from McIndoe Pl to Cambridge St starting in mid-May and ending on August 1.

Richmond firefighters reaching for the sky Simon Bloomberg It’s going to be all uphill for a group of Richmond fire fighters who are preparing for the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge in Auck- Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade’s, from left, Adam Brumwell, Alex Theobold, Matthew Foster, John Isbister, Tom Laney, land on May 13.

Sam Oliver and Keegan Hodge, are training for the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge in Auckland on May 13.

Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade fire fighters Adam Brumwell, Alex Theobold, Matt Foster, John Isbister, Tom Laney, Sam Oliver and Keegan Hodge have entered in the annual challenge which is a fund raiser for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand. They will join another 900 firefighters in the challenge which involves a leg-burning climb up the 328m high Sky Tower’s 1103 steps and 51 storeys outfitted in 25kg of fire fighting clothing and breathing apparatus.

“The weight of the gear is bad enough but it’s the heat that will really get to you,” Adam says.

“We’ll be wearing level two fire fighting clothing so it will get really hot under all that.”

Adam says another one of the challenges will be climbing to the top without consuming all the air in the breathing apparatus tanks. Although the tanks usually have enough air to last around 30 minutes, he says they will consume the air at a much faster rate because they will be working so hard - the fastest time last year was 8min 46sec.

Adam says the Richmond team has been trainFresh NZ Pork Leg Roast (Excludes Free Range) $ 79 ing on the Tamaki Steps in Nelson to prepare $ 99 kg pack each for the challenge. Although the team is “reasonSteinlager Pure/Stella Artois Oyster Bay 750ml ably fit” their main aim is “for all of us to finish (Excludes Pinot Noir/Sparkling) 24 x 330ml Bottles it and raise as much as possible for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand”.

The Richmond volunteers have so far raised about $3000 and their aim is to raise at least $10,000 by the time they head to Auckland.

Last year, fire fighters from over 234 brigades across the country raised just over $1.161million for the cause.

Neighbourhood group positive about future Jessie Johnston Neighbourhood Support Waimea may not be out of their financial crisis, but recent developments have the organisation feeling positive about the future.

Late last year an issue with government funding left the group out of pocket, with coordinator Marty Price being forced to go on unpaid leave. Since then Neighbourhood Support Waimea has managed to secure enough funding to employ a professional contract writer who “should be very practiced at going after funds that are likely to be granted,” says Neighbourhood Support Waimea chairperson, Glenys Della Bosca. “That’s the first thing, choosing the right funds and being able to put things in the jargon that fund granters like to read. What it has meant in practical terms is that we’re being very positive, Marty is still on restricted hours, although at least those hours are now back to what the core purpose of Neighbourhood Support is all about.”

The group didn’t even have the funds to cover Marty’s mileage and is now grateful for Fresh Choice Richmond stepping in to cover this cost.

“The past year, my focus has been on the funding,” says Marty. “We have a contact person for each street and I’ve lost contact with a lot of those people, so now it’s my job to get back into connecting

with all those areas.”

The group has also put together a strategic plan from now until the end of December, outlining their specific goals which include setting up more street groups in the residential areas, with a particular emphasis on Brightwater and Wakefield. They also plan to make contact with people living in the rural areas between the two villages and Richmond.

“We also work in liaison with services such as civil defence, police, fire, community patrol, age concern, any group doing face to face work with the community,” says Glenys. “We’ve had these national emergencies recently so that’s really heightened our need to work on that and that’s one of our goals, to set up training sessions on coping in emergencies for local residents.”

Neighbourhood Support Waimea also offers free solar security lights for senior people in the community. Those who feel vulnerable and don’t have the resources to purchase one can apply for the light, which Marty will then install.

Neighbourhood Support Waimea has also been selected for Z Energy’s Good in the Hood initiative for May. “We are very keen for people to support us by filling up there and putting the token in our slot, that money would probably go straight towards the continued employment of our contract writer,” says Glenys.

Most of the group’s 27 members took part in the project, creating around 28 knee quilts which were handed out to residents on Thursday morning. “We usually do some sort of charity project each year, previously we’ve done children’s quilts and given them to Auckland Point School for the young parent’s unit, and we’ve given two lots out after house fires as the families had young children,” says member Marilyn Gibbs.

In March last year the group approached the rest home to see if the residents would appreciate the quilts, before spending around a year creating them all. “It’s about giving back to others and there’s only so many quilts that you can do for yourself,” says member, Lana Wilson.

Obviously the council don't want to attract freedom campers. Something terribly wrong if locals can't get good facilities in case free loaders abuse them. Johanna Fowler.

To get your loo all you need to do is to apply for funding to build something ugly. Make it functional as a loo but tell the council that it is actually not a loo at all - it is a sculpture pretending to be a loo. The uglier the better and the greater the chance of funding. Nelson City Council don't have money for things that matter but offer them another ugly sculpture and you can't miss on funding.

I am writing in response to your article asking for support for toilets at the Hockey Place playground.

As a resident who lives on Hockey Place, I am totally against having such a facility, for good reasons.

We have had several different freedom

.co.nz

Local news as it happens

campers park in the car park adjacent to the playground, but up to now they have only stayed one night as there are no facilities. This would change if toilet facilities were provided. None of us who live here want to have campers parked outside our bedrooms at night.

No-one would.

It would encourage other night-time visitors with the possibility of drug users and, quite apart from the health and safety issues of detritus associated with that, we would need an increased police presence at additional expense to the Nelson ratepayers. So far, in four years, we have only had to call the police once, a car thief who parked overnight.

I understand Belle Clark’s views as most of us in Hockey Place are parents, but going anywhere with young children often involves tinkling in bushes.

Hygiene is not an issue as dogs regularly wee and poo in the playground!

The plants love it and rain sorts out any residue. When my children were two and five I would take my car to playgrounds for toilet emergencies, even if I lived close by.

J. Collins, Hockey Place.

A public message A big thanks goes out to the public who are making the effort to still support our retailers during the Queen St upgrade. While it still has some time to go as it moves up the main street in sections, most retailers are reporting a reasonable level of support so, thanks and keep it up! Richmond Unlimited is a representation of local businesses whose job it is to promote and help local retail. So what have we got planned for the next few months and how are we going to say thanks to the public for their ongoing support?

1. First up, we have Cash on Queen. It easy to enter, just spend anything at any Queen St shop and you get an entry into a draw held at the end of a five week period. If your name is drawn, you win $5000 cash! This is due to start at the completion of the first stage of the upgrade at lower Queen. Retailers, we will be in to set you up with all the forms etc. Remember this is based on the long-running Shop and Win so it’s already proven popular!

2. After this, we have a smaller competition for the littlies. The street upgrade-themed treasure hunt will be lots of fun and will have some great prizes.

3. In August-September, we are running Richmond 24 Hours. Now we have just found out that no organisation actually has a comprehensive collection of Richmond photos. So for a 24- hour period we are asking that the area’s photographers, professional or amateur, adult or kids, go out and take as many photos as possible for entry. Just record what goes on in the Richmond area for a 24-hour period over a weekend. There will be huge prizes and, of course, the kudos that goes with being part of this historic event. PLUS these photos will get used in newspapers, at events and put on display.

Details to follow but keep the space clear! The finalists will go on

display in the Richmond Mall as well as in the Waimea Weekly.

4. When the Queen St upgrade is finished, Richmond Unlimited hopes to make an announcement regarding an Australasian -first for our town. We can’t say much more at this stage but it will make a huge difference to the town so we’ll be trying hard to make it happen in conjunction with the Tasman District Council.

5. Pay attention to the individual retailers as well. The Hospice Shop, for instance, are giving great half price Mail Run cruises, and some of the cafes are also putting on offers. Also pay attention to the

restaurants. Gary at the Richmond Roast House always has a great meal and the best roast spuds out, Lemongrass and Chai Yo are without exception some of the best Thai restaurants in the South Island let alone Richmond. Three Rooms has for some time been right up there with their fixed price menu and is popular because it’s good!

Domino’s Pizza are still busy so keep supporting them.

We will keep supporting you so you can keep supporting us.

Thanks again for your support Richmond Unlimited

Dave’s solo challenge comes to an end Jessie Johnston Reporter

jessie@waimeaweekly.co.nz

After 22 days on the water, Dave Puklowski has completed his “Challenge for a Mate”, returning home on Sunday afternoon to a welcome party of friends and family.

Dave’s challenge was to solo circumnavigate the South Island in a 3.8-metre rigid hull inflatable boat, becoming the smallest powered craft to do so. His 22-day adventure was all in aid of his mate, Russell Blowers, who suffers from hereditary rickets, the challenge raising funds to pay for Russell’s latest surgeries.

“Being the smallest powered craft to solo navigate, that sort of represents a few worries like is the motor going to last? Especially when you’re out right down Fiordland and Foveaux Strait and things like that, its constantly on your mind, especially when the weather gets really bad,” says Dave. “I had more bad weather than good but all in all, nothing to complain about I guess, I knew it was going to be a challenge, that’s what it’s all about.”

With wind, rain and large swells to deal with, Dave describes the experience as a “little bit busier and a little bit scarier” than he’d imagined, including around four days in total when bad weather conditions made travel impossi-

“I had to turn back, it was too rough and it’s really hard to turn back, it’s not what you really want to do but you have to put safety first,” says Dave. “I thought we’d do a bit of travelling then meet up with the crew.

“We’d talk about the day and then we’d go and see some sights and we did do a little bit of that, but it was just incredible how busy we were, it was just full on the whole

Foundation, inspiring everyday people to take on challenges to support friends in need. It’s really important that we carry that on now, we’ve set up a good base for other people to do their thing,” says Dave.

Russell is also looking forward to seeing how Challenge for a Mate can help others.

“It’s incredibly emotional and very humbling to have so many people involved and helping out with the cause. I think Dave probably hit on a really big thing that’s really important for him, and for me as well, that [the foundation]

has been set up to help other people in the future.

Campaign to end separatism to hit Nelson

Public Meeting

Don Brash, a former National Party leader, and Casey Costello, an Auckland business manager, will speak at the Rutherford Hotel, Trafalgar St, Nelson.

Dave says that while he was the one driving the boat, it was by no means a solo mission.

“There’s so many people involved that need to be thanked, including all my sponsors, all the Challenge for a Mate crew and all the other people who supported me, even coming into [Nelson] there was a dozen boats as I was coming along from French Pass that were waving me over and the Nelson coastguard, they were out there too.

“And now this is over, we’ve started the Challenge for a Mate

The National Party and their two friends in the Maori Party passed the Resource Legislation Amendment Bill earlier this month without realising that they fuelled a campaign to end years of separatism.

That campaign, led by former National Party leader Don Brash and Auckland business manager Casey Costello, comes to the Rutherford Hotel in Nelson on Tuesday, May 2.

Wide-ranging amendments to the Resource Management Act through the RLA Bill were intended to reduce red tape and hasten development.

But last-minute changes, demanded by the Maori Party, that brought the insertion of iwi participation clauses, bring a new level of “brown tape” that will slow down resource consents, the opposite of what the bill intended.

Environment Minister Nick Smith, who is the MP for Nelson, has claimed that the iwi clauses will have little impact and would tidy up what is already happening.

But Don Brash said “Don’t take National’s word on what these iwi clauses mean. Don’t even take ours.

Casey Costello and Don Brash promoting equal rights for all New Zealanders irrespective of ethnicity.

Instead, read this series of Maori Party Facebook clippings.”

These posts say “Negotiations aren’t always about we can get. Sometimes it’s about what we can stop.”

In other words, start saving for the ransom demands. The tribal elite has just won the power to hold up New Zealand one council at a time.

The Hobson’s Pledge group burst into existence last September, sparking a landslide of hostile media coverage.

Since then, Don Brash and Casey Costello drew to attention the ridiculous declaration that the Whanganui River was to become a “person.”

They criticised the Waitangi Tribunal’s attempt to shift the blame for re-offending by Maori by alleging that the Crown breached the Treaty of Waitangi by not doing enough to stop it.

Hobson’s Pledge says that both the separate Maori seats in Parliament and the Waitangi Tribunal should go, that tribal appointees in local government subvert democracy, and that vague Treaty clauses in legislation generate confusion everywhere.

Iwi claims for water ownership should not proceed because everyone has an interest in water. A tax exemption for tribal businesses should not continue.

The balance of power in Parliament may be changed on September 23 this year, through the election – and National knows it. Casey Costello said “Our message is very clear.

Race based legislation serves no useful purpose for any of us.”

From left, Millan, Cohan and Jenny Lines grab some freshly squeezed apple juice during the Wakefield Apple Fair on Sunday.

Held at Willow Bank Heritage Village, the fair is a free community event that celebrates the local apple harvest. As well as live entertainment, children’s games, local food and drink stalls, the real draw card for people was the chance to take home some fresh apple juice. People could either get involved in pressing their own apples using vintage equipment, or watch the team crush and press the apples before taking home the delicious product bottles and bladders.

Just a thought At this time of the year we remember and honour those who fell in order to secure our freedom.

We hope and pray that war, particularly on the scale of the World Wars, will never happen again. There is no guarantee of that though especially if we rely on politicians to prevent it.

Almost all politicians begin with good motives. They want to make a positive difference in society. However, power often corrupts good motives. Maybe some never had the right motives?

The most disliked politician might be the US President – perhaps deservedly so. But do we only respect those whom we deem worthy of respect? Or do we Susan Gill respect the outcomes of Vicar, Church on the the democratic process?

Hill Is it helpful to constantly refer to Trump in disdainful tones? Do we become part of the problem if we don’t treat politicians respectfully?

Jesus didn’t always seem respectful, calling the religious lot fools, foxes, brood of vipers and hypocrites. Jesus was in their face!

Jesus very seldom spoke like this to anyone else though. Perhaps he, just like us today, expected more of God-followers. He certainly never spoke to the vulnerable this way.

Back to politicians – how do we confront in ways that don’t tear down individuals? We don’t want policies that harm our planet, that advance the already rich - trickle-down effect of wealth: who are you kidding?

When we disagree with our politicians it is our God-given duty to say so. We ordinary people sometimes have more clues than the supposed experts. But please, can we be respectful and exercise a little humility as we do so?

The war to end all wars hasn’t done that – unfortunately. And if our politicians provoke war or fail to care for the least of us, then we ordinary people will have something to say about that.

Father and son face off on football pitch Jacob Page Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When father and son Darryn and Isaak Cunningham squared off for Richmond Athletic and FC Nelson respectively on Saturday, club rivalry gave way to something more family-oriented.

The match finished in an absorbing 1-1 draw, but Darryn knew he’d have some questions to answer across the dinner table that night.

“I don’t think (Isaak) is going to let me forget the missed penalty – he better not bring it up,” Darryn joked.

Both men admitted it was certainly a strange feeling lining up against each other.

“I’ve been with him since he was 13 or 14 so it was strange in a way but I thought he played really well,” Darryn says.

“I didn’t see much of Dad out there,” Isaak says. “I was too busy and he had his hands full.

Isaak says the pre-match had its interesting moments.

“It was probably the strangest in the warm-ups when you hear “Cunny” coming from

both teams.”

Darryn says he was impressed with what the youthful looking FC Nelson team produced, saying he felt a draw was a fair result for what both teams contributed to the match.

He says he expected both teams to be vying for the league title along with the Nelson College first XI by the end of the campaign.

Netball There were wins for Jacks OPD, Prices Pharmacy and Nelson College for Girls in the second week of the Nelson Premier Netball Competition on Thursday night.

Jacks OPD beat Richmond Glass 51-41, Prices Pharmacy downed Waimea Premiers 63-43 and NCG were too strong for Prices Pharmacy Black 64-38.

Football The Tasman United women’s premier league team had a 4-0 win over Waimea in Christchurch. Charlotte Gordon scored twice while Ruby Smith and Amelia Abbott also scored for Sports Therapy Tasman United. The Nelson Suburbs men drew 1-1 in their Mainland Premier League match with leaders Coastal Spirit. An early Matt Tod-Smith goal was cancelled out in the second half by Coastal Spirit.

Our vets do a great job keeping our animals happy and healthy, so celebrate World Veterinary Day with your pet this Saturday.

Celebrating World Vet Day Whether you’re a cat person, a dog person, a rabbit person or a horse person, there’s one thing all animal lovers can agree on, a pet is an important and much loved part of any family.

Working animals are also vital to many businesses and organisations be it police, customs or on the farm, so when our pets or animal colleagues become unwell or injured, we place them in the capable hands of vets.

World Veterinary Day recognises the fantastic work carried out by veterinarians and this year it falls on Saturday, April 29. The day was established by the World Veterinary Association in 2000 in order to highlight and promote the lifesaving work performed by vets

around the globe, and to raise awareness of their contribution to improving animal health and welfare, as well as public health.

Locally, there are several great veterinary clinics that are passionate about helping owners restore their pets to full health including Town and Country Vet. Four Foot Lodge Animal Boarding is also on hand to offer your pet a comfy and welcoming home away from home.

Why not celebrate with your pet this World Veterinary Day by taking them for a walk, giving them a treat or just a good scratch behind the ears, to show them how much they mean to you as you appreciate the work veterinarians do to keep our pets happy and healthy.

Nelson judo players bag big medal haul

Nelson Judo club members show off some of the 17 medals the club won at the Wellington Open Championships. Photo Jacob Page.

Jacob Page These are exciting times for the Nelson Judo Club. A team of 18 came home with a swag of medals from the Wellington Open Championships, the club just ran a successful holiday programme which saw some of the best clubs from New Zealand come to Nelson and they have moved into a far more judo conducive facility next to Victory Boxing Gym. Two of their more experienced Judo players, Josh Nahi and Louise Kelly are set to take part in the Oceania Championships in Tonga this weekend. Not bad for a club that had less than 10 members a matter of a few years ago.

Wellington proved wildly successful with gold medals to Liberty Dickin, John Maxwell, Paul Hammett, Bianca Neighbours, Ryan Crompton, Zak Hammett and Jack Potter. Silver medals went to Brooke Hammett and Josh Nahi while Paul added a silver to his gold. Bronze medals went to Brooke, Bianca, Jack, Ben Hammett and Aiden Burke. Oliver Lewis and Nils Thevenard lost bronze medal bouts.

Paul says judo in Nelson continues to go from strength-to-strength and he’s already seeing the benefit of the move from the Wakatu Estate to Victory Boxing.

“We’ve already picked up a few stragglers and to sign up our 81st member last week when it was at six or eight two or three years ago, is amazing. The Victory facility is a lot bigger, and our game plan is to have a 15 by 15m mat which is international size in there.”

Paul says results like the ones in Wellington are turning heads nationally and it helps bring judokas from famed Nippon Club to the holiday camp. He says having competitive players from all age groups means Nelson is growing a decent reputation in producing top people in the sport and people are going out of their way to get involved.

Richmond Rabbits earn first win of the season The Richmond Rabbits breathed some life into their Tasman Rugby League title defence with a strong second half effort to beat the Wairau Taniwha 36-22 at Lower Ngawhatu on Saturday.

It was Richmond’s first win of the season after they had blooded new players over the first few weeks of the 2017 competition.

Sam Hedges, the club’s leading try scorer dotted down first for the home team.

The veteran’s strength and size in contact is proving to be effective for the reigning champions. Unlike previous games, he had plenty of support on the score sheet this week.

The Taniwha took a slender 16-12 advantage into halftime.

The margin would have been bigger had it not been for a try from Sunny Morgan.

The teams traded tries to start the

second half, including Sam’s second before the Rabbits found another gear and pulled away in front of their home fans.

New recruit Jason Rangihuna had another stellar game crossing the line for a try, followed by Soul Emery, whose outstanding dominance on the field was impressive to watch from such a young player.

Hayden Smith kicked a penalty and the game was finished off by long standing Rabbits player Sunny Morgan getting his second try of the game.

While the Stoke Cobras had to pull out of the competition, the remaining four teams look even this year.

The Taniwha, long the whipping boys of the competition, have come with a strong team this year and more resolve to be competitive.

In the other fixture, Wanderers Wolves beat Victory Phoenix 32-20.

New players and their families to be welcomed this Saturday Waimea Old Boys will hold their Junior Open Day this Saturday.

More than 300 junior players have signed up to play for the red and whites in 2017 and this is an opportunity for new players and their families to be introduced to the club.

Families will be welcomed into the club at the conclu-

Nelson cyclist wins gold at masters games Jessie Johnston Reporter

jessie@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Nelson cyclist Christine van Hoppe is aiming for a double when she lines up in the road race at the World Masters Games in Auckland on Sunday after winning gold in the time trial on the second day of racing.

Christine won the women’s 70-74 category on Sunday, completing the tough 20km course in 35min 24sec. It’s a great result for the Tasman Wheelers cyclist who

is competing in the international sporting event for the first time.

“It was a fabulous course, 10km from Auckland waterfront out to St Heliers and 10km back,” Christine says. “There was a head wind going out but it was pretty good coming back.

“I felt reasonably confident but you never know, there were five cyclists in my grade which is actually quite good for my age group. The one who got silver (Patricia Taylor) was 30 seconds down on me and the one who got

bronze (Faye Omundsen), I beat her by just over a minute, so they weren’t that far out of it.

“I was pretty stoked, I couldn’t believe that I’d done it. The girls who were on the podium with me were just so lovely, so it was such a happy feeling and environment.”

Christine’s husband Karl was also racing, finishing seventh out of 19 riders in the men’s 70-74 age category.

On Sunday, Christine and Karl will line up in the road race which Christine says is her stronger event.

“It’s quite a hard circuit, it’s got quite a gnarly hill in it so we’re going to ride it on Tuesday and see how it feels.

Road racing is my strongest event, I’m not that great on hills though but I’ve been doing a lot of work for it so hopefully, fingers crossed,” says Christine.

“At least I’ve got a gold now, so that’s quite good, it would be nice to make it a double.”

Nelson’s Shane Blows also won gold racing in the Para 40+ H3 class time trial.

Shane recorded a time of 30min 27sec.

The Mike Pero Nelson Giants are a rejuvenated team enjoying their basketball. Back-to-back National Basketball League road wins over the Taranaki Mountainairs and third-placed Canterbury Rams, and a competitive outing against title contender Southland Sharks on Saturday night, has the team feeling reinvigorated for a return to Nelson’s Trafalgar Centre this Saturday night against Taranaki. ‘”We’ve gone back to enjoying playing basketball and enjoying playing with each other,” head coach Brendon Bailey says.

“We know we let our home fans down with the way we started the season, but I think the results are showing that we have found a style of play that is working and that we are having fun producing.

That 0-6 run to start the 2017 campaign saw import Joe Slocum and coach Alan McAughtry depart while Aussie point guard

Kyle Adnam and American big man Morgan Grim added to the roster.

Brendon was promoted from assistant coach and the team has certainly gone from strength-tostrength since.

“The guys worked really hard to get the win in Christchurch against the Rams and, while we have some guys who are beat up and bruised physically after six away games and a month on the road, everyone is really excited to get home and play some good basketball in front of our fans.”

The team has found strong offensive production from Dion Prewster who seems to have taken on the mantle of the team’s leading scorer.

The important thing is that he is getting back-up from fellow starters Morgan, Kyle, Finn Delany and Sam Dempster.

The defence is also improving

with Sam pulling down more rebounds as the captain looks to lead from the front.

“The arrival of Morgan has certainly helped us shore up (our defence) in the middle and offered us some leadership; but all the guys are making more of

an effort contesting shots and hitting the floor, diving on balls and trying to get those 50-50 chances.

Brendon says there is no place like home and the whole team is eager to get back to The Hangar and show what they can do in the second half of the season.

Are you a rural-based club or do you have rural-based players? If so, the Tasman Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund can help meet your travel costs. Clubs must apply on behalf of players (aged 5–19) and the next closing date is 30 April 2017.

Application forms and further information is online at www.tasman.govt.nz/council/grants-funding or phone Mike Tasman-Jones 03 543 8403 for further information.

Proposed speed limit change for Queen Street and Sundial Square, Richmond We propose to reduce the speed limit on Queen Street, Richmond to 30km/hr. The current speed limit on Queen Street from Gladstone Road to Salisbury Road, is 50km/hr. The proposed reduction in speed limit will also include Sundial Square (from Queen Street to McGlashen Avenue).

There are several reasons for this proposed reduction in speed:

Use Good Wood for winter burning

• The new road profile is designed for a lower speed environment

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:

• The new road design has a narrower carriageway (reduced from approximately 9.5m to 6.0m)

• 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 for a list of Good Wood suppliers.

Trustpower Community Awards Volunteers are awesome – dedicating hours of time and energy every year to making their community a better place to live. About 1000 voluntary groups from around New Zealand enter the Trustpower Community Awards each year. It’s a celebration of just how much volunteers mean to our country. No matter how big or small, if your group, club or society has volunteers, it has earned the right to be involved. Anyone can enter a group... groups can even enter themselves!

Entries for the Nelson Tasman Trustpower Community Awards are now open. Register online or visit your local Council for an entry form. www.trustpower.co.nz/communityawards

Richmond watermain replacements Work has started to install new water pipes 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 keep the water supply flowing smoothly.

At the same time, we will replace ageing water meters on these streets.

During the works, access to the footpath and some car parks may be affected at times. Please avoid any 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.

Keep Richmond Beautiful Annual General Meeting Wednesday 10 May 2017 at 3.00 pm, Constance Barnicoat Room, ground floor, Queen Street end of Richmond Library.

Those interested are welcome to join us starting with afternoon tea at 2.45 pm.

JOIN OUR COMMUNITY

• The new footpaths will be wider and make the area more pedestrian friendly • There will be no raised speed humps (due to stormwater flow requirements) Everyone is welcome to provide feedback and comment on the proposed change during the next six weeks. To do this either complete the form online at www.tasman.govt.nz/ feedback or fill in a form at one of the Council Service Centres and leave there or send via email to robyn.scherer@tasman. govt.nz. Comments close at 5.00 pm on Friday 19 May 2017.

Queen Street upgrade Please continue to support our local businesses while the upgrade happens. The ring road is a great option to avoid any delays on Queen Street, and there are four public carparks – in addition to the Richmond Mall carpark and the businesses’ own private carparks – that are easily accessible from the ring road.

The entire length of footpath is open during the day, so there is pedestrian access to all shops. There is also extra parking available at the showgrounds.

McIndoe intersection to be closed From Wednesday 26 April the Queen Street and McIndoe intersection will be closed (for about a month) while a new roundabout is built. Use the ring road to access alternative car parks.

Time limits introduced in Papps Carpark To help free up parking spots for shoppers and visitors to Richmond town centre, we have introduced time limits on 26 spaces within the Papps Carpark, off Cambridge Street.

There are now ten P60 and a further sixteen P120 time limits in Papps Carpark. These time limits will be enforced and fines issued, so please make use of the free all-day parking at the Richmond Showgrounds if you are heading to Richmond to work, or for an extended stay. We are monitoring all the public carparks for occupancy rates, and will consider extra time limits if need be. We understand the frustration road works can bring, and we thank you for your patience.
