$1.2 billion to flow from new dam Barbara Gillham The Lee Valley dam will inject more than a billion dollars into the local economy, says a recent report.

The report was commissioned by the Nelson Regional Economic Development Agency so stakeholders could appreciate the economic contribution the dam could potentially make to the region.

At a meeting last week, Waimea Water Augmentation Committee chairman, Murray King says the report shows significant benefit from the dam to the whole region.

Preliminary results show an increase in regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in excess of $1.2 billion over first 25 years.

The Waimea Water Augmentation Committee is a partnership between local industry and local Councils, and is focused on developing a dam in the Lee Valley.

The EDA regional strategy has identified the Lee Valley Dam

as a priority for the region and supports the WWAC initiatives, it says.

Historically, the Waimea Basin has been short of water for irrigation, urban and industrial supply, with water resources over allocated by as much as 22 per cent in drought conditions.

At present about 3700 hectares of land has water permits but with more water a further 1500 hectares could be added to that.

Over the last few years water users have had to cope with severe restrictions which have caused significant production cut backs for irrigated crops leading to economic loss.

Water is vital in the Waimea district for irrigation, especially in the event of a drought. If the dam does not proceed there is a real risk of cuts in present allocations by as much as 70 per cent. With a storage capacity of 13 million cubic metres the dam would not only provide surety of water but also power.

In the event of a natural disaster

Ice, ice baby. Snow and ice hit region After snow fell all over the region early this week, preschoolers in Richmond made sure they didn’t miss out on the fun, getting truck loads of ice dumped in their playground.

Talley’s gifted the ice to Jigsaw Preschool in Edward St on Tuesday and pupils were delighted to have a play, throwing it everywhere and making mini slides.

The gift of fish ice comes on the

back of one of the coldest fronts to sweep through the region in years, leaving snow and ice in its wake.

Snow was reported at low levels in Appleby, Upper Moutere, Richmond hills and Redwood Valley.

Police are on the hunt for a brazen thief who has been targeting staff rooms and are warning businesses to lock away valuables belonging to staff.

Last week a man believed to be in his mid-20’s was found in the office of Paper Plus Motueka by a staff member before smashing his way out through a glass door to get away.

He ran through a dairy, Decks Reserve and then onto High St, which is where he was last seen.

A similar type of burglary has happened in Nelson and twice in Richmond in the

past few days and police say they may be linked.

This type of theft is known as Stair Dancing, given to persons who walk into shops and enter into staff rooms and offices of commercial building and helping themselves to staff bags or anything else lying around.

The offender has so far stolen cash, handbags and cash boxes and is linked to 10 offences.

Police say he is possibly using a green square shaped older model Holden or Ford Vehicle.

“He is a male Caucasian or light skin Mäori or Polynesian aged approximately 25 years. He has a number two haircut with dark hair. He is described as a tall man with an athletic build,” they say.

Richmond community constable Glen Lloyd-Jones says Richmond businesses should be aware of what is happening and take extra care.

“Businesses should make sure things are locked and keep an eye out in case he comes back. Any information please contact Sergeant Rob Crawford at the Motueka Police Station on 528 1220.

This is part of the nationwide REAL New Zealand Festival, coinciding with Rugby World Cup 2011.

With thousands of passionate rugby followers descending on New Zealand during this time, Nelson and Tasman regions have the unique opportunity to showcase themselves to the world with hosting two pool games live to an international and local audience for the fist time in the regions history.

All eyes will be on us, so we must seize this opportunity to encourage and promote our area with outstanding attractions and fantastic events, attracting visitors to our regions for now and for

the future. The Tasman Sevens Invitational is a fantastic opportunity for our local region.

International and local rugby enthusiasts will have the opportunity to come together in the spirit of competition and play rugby in a carnival atmosphere.

Forty-four teams of young and old are set to take to the fields at Jubilee Park in Richmond on Sunday 25 September in a spectacular event that will lead up to the International Test match between Italy and USA. Playing rugby is only part of what the Tasman Sevens Invitational Day has to offer, and aims to celebrate the local community and its attractions with visitors in a party atmosphere.

Other attractions for the Richmond Festival include a Stars n Stripes Block party, an Allstar Tailgate Party. All will take place between September 25 and 27.

Avocado’s do grow in Waimea Barbara Gillham

Golden Hills Estates is a family business owned

by Jeff and Sophie Marr. Situated on the Waimea Plains near Nelson, the couple switched to viticulture and later growing avocados after selling their mussel farm at Okiwi Bay in the Marlborough Sounds.

When they first bought the property they admit they did’nt know what they were going to do with it.

“Sophie wanted to do avocados and I wanted to do grapes. At the time we wanted a business our children, could also be involved in and viticulture seemed an obvious choice.”

While the focus initially was on establishing a vineyard, Sophie was still keen to grow avocados despite negative comments from others on how successful they would be.

Despite being told they were ‘nuts’ to try growing them as the temperature was too low in the region for the fruit to set, Jeff and Sophie have since proved the sceptics wrong.”

With no knowledge or experience in growing the fruit Sophie admits they are ‘self taught’.

“We took a trip up north to have a look and see how it’s all done and used a local consultant to get us going, he actually was an orchard consultant so he had to do a fair bit of reading up on them himself to help us.

“We planted our three varieties of avocado, Reed, Hass and Zutano, six or seven years ago and just 18 months after planting them and despite being told we probably would’nt have fruit, we had between eight to ten per tree. Today we have approximately 380 avocado trees planted on nearly 3 hectares and between 350-400 avocados on each one.

“Basically we do little to them other than give them Boron just pre-flower set because we are low on boron here, and when we do that we put a little bit of folia feed, a bit of nitrogen and trace elements in and that’s it.

Originally selling to the local market, Jeff and Sophie now send a lot of their fruit to a company in Tauranga where it is pressed into oil before being bottled under their own label and shipped back.

“There is’nt a press here in Nelson so we send it all up to Tauranga to be done, the people we deal with there came to see us recently to take photos they could’nt believe we could grow good avocado’s here.

“What we are doing with avocados is quite ‘unique’ as we are the only ones in the area doing it.

Proving the sceptics wrong, Jeff and Sophie are pleased with the success they have had with their avocados and Jeff says all the stories about them being frost tender are true until the trees are established, then they are as robust as any other tree.

The Hyundai i45, known as the Sonata in the U.S., has been named Best-in-Segment (tied with the Volkswagen Jetta), in the mid-size car category of Strategic Vision’s 2011 Total Quality Index® (TQI).

The Total Quality Index measures total vehicle satisfaction among new car owners in the United States. The Index measures the quality of the vehicle as well as the emotional connection it makes with buyers. “This is great international endorsement for the Hyundai i45, and comes just weeks after Hyundai took first place in New Zealand for passenger vehicle sales for the month of June. The i45 was

an important contributor to the local result and the Index rating has highlighted that it ticks both the emotional and rational boxes in terms of customer satisfaction,” said Chief Operating Officer for Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau.

Alexander Edwards, President of Strategic Vision, said that customers that took part in the Index explicitly stated that they love their Hyundai i45; from the performance-styled exterior to the comfortable, thoughtfully designed exterior.

The other brands evaluated for the mid-size category included the Honda Accord, Mazda6, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry.

The strong showing in the TQI extends Hyundai i45’s winning streak in Strategic Vision studies. Hyundai’s i45 also topped this year’s Strategic Vision Total Value Index, tallying the highest Total Value score in the 14-year history of the study. This result surpassed all competitors past and present, including those in the luxury segments.

The Total Quality Index® asked US buyers to rate all aspects of the ownership experience from buying and owning to performance and driving. Results were calculated from 37,069 buyers who bought 2011 models between the months of September to December of 2010.

Scooter Challenge fun comes to our region

Three years ago Stoke man Jason Monopoli took part in a race across Australia’s toughest terrain on a 50cc scooter – called the Postie Bike Challenge.

Now he has bought a similar idea to our shores and after a test run last year is inviting people to come and be a part of the Toughest Scooter Challenge in the World. The Survivor Scooter event will start in Picton and head across to Nelson and down to Greymouth with as much off-roading as possible. But Jason says the four day event is not a race and is all about having a good time. “Because the bikes obviously aren’t made for what we do At the start of last year’s Survivor Scooter Challenge is from left; Kym with them we get a lot of broken down bikes, so (Clemy) Clementson, Jason (Crash) Monopoli, Simon (Mad Max) Had- we will all travel together, help each other out and field, Shaun (Caveman) Torevell, Erin (Buzzbox) Dunbar and Caroline make sure we all survive.”

(Whippet) Ellis.

The event covers off road tracks around the top-

of-the-south on scooters. It is also designed so non-motorcycle people can come along. “With a scooter you can drive it on a car licence which is really handy.”

Last year two women entered the event and they were the only ones that didn’t require a ride in the safety truck. Jason says the cost of the trip is kept pretty low with the entry fee a donation to child’s charity KPH. The series is being held this Labour weekend in October with the final day finishing the day of the Rugby World Cup final says Jason.

“It will be a perfect way to end it, on your scooter all day, then to a Greymouth pub to watch the rugby.”

To find out more about the event visit www.survivorscooter.com or email Jason on info@orangedog.co.nz.

I read with horror the idea of setting up a group to encourage ‘more visitors to Nelson Lakes’, and I note this group is made up largely of local buisness folk. I wonder what the real reason for wanting to be flooded with tourists is? Oh! You ‘want to promote Nelson Lakes area as a place full of activities for the tourist’ as it is a ‘true wilderness’. I fear it won’t be for too much longer if this group has their way.

We have a Canadian family member staying with us and had told him of a beautiful place we enjoy spening much time at. Peaceful, serene, full of birdlife, nowhere else quite like it we told him - boy did we get a rude awakening when last weekend we took him there.

At Lake Rotoiti we managed to squeeze into a car park. The toilets were in need of a clean and some paper would have been nice. Before us there was a sea of people, noisy, loud people.

Vehicles doing wheelies in the snow and many dogs. Needless to say we did not stay.

This place along with Lake Rotoroa can be beautiful havens when well cared for and respected.

To lose them to yet more tourism, ‘summer fests’ and such hype by a group of buisness people would be such a shame.

Please advertise well any events you plan having so we can be sure to avoid them.

Off to build Habitat homes in Cambodia A photograph of Nelson man Andy Farmer and his family is most likely still holding front and centre position on the mantel piece of a Nepalese grandmother.

But Andy reckons it was he that should be grateful for the experience of building a home for her and her family as part of Habitat for Humanity.

Andy and friend Paul Shutte went to Napal two years ago as part of a Nelson group that helped build houses for disadvantaged locals.

The lady’s home that Andy worked on couldn’t be more excited by the project he says and proudly put the photo of him and his family on the mantle place.

This November the duo is heading to Cambodia, where 300 people from all over the world will converge to build 24 homes in a week. Among the hundreds will be about 15 Nelsonians and Andy says there is still room for more and best of all, you need very few skills.

Millions still needed for cycle loop The Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust needs some serious sponsorship and community support if they are to complete another 110 Kms of the trail and close the Tasman Loop.

Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails executive officer Fiona Newey says at this stage a further $3.8 million is required if the loop is to be completed by 2016.

After many voluntary hours of Nelson Cycle Trails Trust project work, the region successfully won $2.6 million funding through Great Rides NZ, an economic development project of Prime Minister John Key. That funding is administered by the Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council, and is allocated solely for construction of two trails, Nelson-Wakefield due to open January 2012 and Nelson to Mapua due to open by July 2012.

As sections of the trail are completed it will eventually offer a choice of day rides or multiday cycle options with a Fiona Newey. series of overnight stops within the region Fiona says while the Trust’s primary objective is to promote cycling in the region; the trails will also raise local earning capacity and generate employment opportunities.

Fiona says they now need to establish a business operation to market, promote and fund the remaining 110kms of trail.

The 175 km Tasman Trail will eventually connect 16 rural communities in the Tasman District. In order to be considered a “Great Ride” the gradient of these trails can be no more than 4 degrees making them suitable for young and elderly alike.

The shorter but slightly more challenging Dun Mountain trail is due to open later this year, the 37km trail is described as more of a challenge for experienced, fit cyclists.

Little show attracts big crowd

The Nelson Minatures Club hosted its fifth annual Dollshouses and Minatures Exhibition last weekend. Despite heavy rain and cold temperatures nothing dampened the interest or affected the numbers who turned out to see the amazing range of beautifully made minatures on display, each one perfect to the smallest detail.

The exhibition featured dozens of locally made items, and offerd workshops where everyone was welcome to have a go Mary Saxton of Richmond with her “French Cafe” at the Dollshouse and Minatures Show at the Stoke Memorial Hall over the weekend. Photo: Barbara Gillham. at making a minature.

Murchison centre honours hardworking duo The Murchison Sport, Recreation and Cultural Centre recently conferred their first ever life memberships in a special ceremony, to Tony Peacock and Judene Edgar.

The memberships were given in recognition of the hard work they had both done over the years to ensure the centre’s establishment and success.

Centre manager, Annie Martin says Tony and Judene were “incredible”.

“They were both the driving force behind the centre and made it hap-

pen, what they did was amazing, they worked really hard.”

Although the centre was officially opened in 2008, Annie says there had been 11 to 14 years of fundraising happening prior to that to make it a reality.

“The centre originally started in an old clubroom, nothing like the centre we have today.”

Now with a function room that can seat approximately 150 people and that is often used for weddings, parliamentary functions and as a rugby base, the cen-

tre also boasts many more attractions and facilities. Among these is its full size indoor basketball and netball court plus the three volley ball and three badminton courts. Made from native timber milled from the local area, Annie describes the centre as an “amazing facility.” “We offer everything here from sit and fit classes for the elderly to youth groups that give young people a safe place to hang out, kindy gym and the Lion’s den meeting room upstairs, I find every month something new pops up.”

Long time friends Andrew McGlashen and Scott Fry have opened Fry’s Pharmacy. Scott will be manning the new business while Andrew continues toiling away at McGlashen Pharmacy on Queen Street.

Local Richmond Lad Returns Home to Open Pharmacy Scott Fry, in partnership with Andrew McGlashen from McGlashens Pharmacy in Queen Street, opened for business last week in Richmond’s newest Pharmacy situated in the Lower Queen Street Health Centre.

Scott grew up and completed all his schooling right here in Richmond where he was head boy at Waimea College and played in the 1st 1XV rugby team. He can’t wait to help local people manage their health and pay back into the local community which helped mold him into the person he is today.

Fry’s Pharmacy will be working closely with other health professionals in Lower Queen Street Health ensuring people receive the best healthcare possible through combining accurate maintenance of prescription records, and professional services

as well as both diagnostic and condition management, all in one convenient location.

Scott has been busy over the last ten years studying and traveling the world. While overseas he managed pharmacies in Dublin and most recently in Melbourne, where he managed a Pharmacy in a health clinic very similar to Lower Queen Street Health.

“In my experience I have found integrated health centres to be the most effective and efficient model to manage patients health. Combining all elements of healthcare under one roof creates an environment that allows the pharmacy and health professionals to build close team relationships. Together we will be able to provide an exceptionally high standard in maintaining our patients health,” says Scott. “The convenience of one location makes obtaining optimal healthcare a lot easier to receive.”

Fry’s Pharmacy will offer all standard pharmacy services and hopes to provide new pilot primary health programs and services into the community through closely working Fry’s Pharmacy is situated at Lower Queen Street Health and has ample car parking plus street access.

Suite 3, Ground Floor, Lower Queen Street Health 355 Lower Queen Street, Richmond

Look who’s moved into Lower Queen Street Health.... with other professionals in the building. Business partner, Andrew McGlashen, has owned Richmond’s McGlashen Pharmacy for the last three years and is particularly excited about opening the new business with long time friend, Scott.

“The two pharmacies will work closely together to provide people with the best range of products and services at the best prices possible,” says Andrew.

Fry’s Pharmacy is conveniently located just inside the main entrance on the ground floor of Lower Queen Street Health.

The main carpark offers ample space for parking and all entrances to the building are wheelchair friendly. There is also direct access off Lower Queen Street. Being located right next door to Oakwoods Metlifecare Retirement Village and Rest Home means residents can stroll down the road to have their prescriptions filled, whilst enjoying a cup of tea or coffee at the neighboring Vanilla Bean Café.

Fry’s Pharmacy is open from 8.30am daily and will align its closing time to fit in with the patients being seen by the team in the neighbouring medical centre ensuring patients can have prescriptions filled on the same day.

Scott comes from a strong medical family; his father is a physician at Nelson Hospital, his sister is a vet and his brother and his wife are both local GP’s. “Growing up with a strong medical slant has ingrained a love for helping people to optimise their health so they can enjoy their life to the full,” says Scott. “I’m really looking forward to returning to my local town with my wife where we can enjoy everything that this region has to offer.”

Call in to the pharmacy at 355 Lower Queen Street (next to Oakwood’s and Club Waimea) to meet Scott and Pam, check out the new facilities in the centre and while you are there, make sure you enter into the lucky prize draw to win a sensational hamper full of winter treats.

Now with space to spare, patients will have the benefit of a Mothers room, Nurse Triage and procedure rooms plus modern new equipment such as electric beds, surgical lighting and a dedicated surgical area. In addition they will be in what is effectively a ‘one stop shop’ for medical services, with other complimentary services available all under one roof.

All staff from the former Cambridge St Clinic moved to the new centre when it opened on July 18, including Dr’s Pip Reeve, Peter Thomas and David Orsbourn. They have been joined in their new practice by Doctor Katy Roff.

Doctor Peter Thomas says the new premises offer a lot and there is certainly room to grow.

“The old premises had a lot of character and had been a medical centre for over 60 years but we didn’t have room to expand. We were getting more and more enrolments particularly since the earthquake and we didn’t want to close our books but physically it was getting more difficult to accommodate everyone.

“A lot of our rooms in our old premises fulfilled multiple functions, what was a nursing room and procedure room was also a store room so it was Information Technology that works for you

Suite 6, 355 Lower Queen St, Richmond constantly a case of ‘knock knock’ can I come in and get something, which wasn’t ideal.

“I think we will find more people using our services, particularly because of where we are situated. With a lot of folk driving to Mapua, Tasman and Upper Moutere daily they may think we are more convenient as they will be able to call in and see a GP on their way to or from work.” Dr Thomas says they will be looking at tenanting some of their three spare rooms and have already had expressions of interest from midwives and counsellors which would provide complimentary services to the centre.

“I think with the extra space we are going to be able to function a lot better and it will make our job a lot easier. In our old premises we had so many notes we had them stored in the ceiling, but in this lovely new building we have better systems and a place for everything.

“I want to see this place grow and I think it will, certainly the staff and those patients who have visited so far are enjoying the nice new surroundings.”

It’s been a huge year for local rugby and although it’s far from over for some sides, it has already shaped up as one of the most impressive seasons for some time.

So far Wanderers have won a championship, Murchison were there in the final with them and the other local side in the second division, Waimea Old Boys, made a semi final.

In the division one competition, Waimea was also a semi finalist while that clubs women’s side plays in its final this weekend and its division three team is leading the competition. So we have decided to celebrate grassroots rugby and a great season so far. Rugby in Murchision, Wanderers and Waimea is strong.

It was a historic season for Murchison, who despite being pipped in the division two final 16-12 to Wanderers, had their best season in more than 40 years and reached their first final since the 1998 third division.

“Numbers were up, the community was right behind us, that’s definitely the best season we’ve had in a long time,” says club president Peter Brooks.

After 1998, Murchison moved in to the second division

WEDNESDAY 27 July 2011

and have been building ever since, and now reaching a final, the club is in good shape to go one better next year.

“It stated off quite young and now we have a core group of nine players in their late 20’s with young guys around then. There’s a lot of dedication out here, dedication in coaching.”

Peter says the club had targeted reaching the semi finals, and they certainly exceeded expectation knocking over the league leading Waimea Old Boys 10-8 in the pouring rain at Jubilee Park on route to the final. In 2009, Murchison were the first team in three years to beat Waimea to reach the semi-finals and Peter says the side drew motivation from that achievement two years ago.

Despite losing the all country duel in the final, Murchison remain upbeat after such an important year for the club.

“It was played in good heart, it was good old fashioned country rugby, we certainly had our chances and nobody knew who was going to win right down to the last minute.

They played their hearts out and were happy afterwards.”

Loose forwards Jack Topping and Sam Brooks were two

19

of the most impressive performers throughout the season while young hooker Tyler Jones showed there is plenty of future at the club after he was named in the Nelson Bays U-18 representative team.

Peter says the side will be looking forward for a possible final again next year. But in country rugby, it all depends on player availability. In Murchison a handful of players drive 70km twice a week just to reach training. “But we’ve got a great team spirit. The community are rugby oriented and they’re right behind us.”

Waimea Old Boys is still going strong in senior rugby and hoping to bring home two championships from the two remaining divisions still playing.

The women’s side plays its final this weekend against Stoke and the division three team has already secured a home semi final despite having three round robin games still to play.

This year the division one team narrowly missed out on making the final, a last minute try by eventual champions Marist, in the semi final broke Waimea hearts. But the squad was able to blood a range of new players and showed signs of improvement throughout the season.

The division two side continued to be a yard stick for other teams in the competition, measuring themselves up against the recent three-time champions. For the past five years Waimea has finished either as champions, or as semi finalists. Showed again this year that they are one of the competitions top sides.

As we mentioned, the division three team is still going strong and after two unbeaten two years at Jubilee Park is

Proudly Supporting Local Rugby

out to win back the title it claimed last year.

The team has also welcomed ten new players to the squad with the majority under 21 years old.

The women’s side has had a mixed season by their high standards, a shock loss to Central in Blenheim was a low point. But the classy side turned it around smashing them in last week’s semi final. Their final this week is against Stoke.

The Waimea JAB still has another month of junior rugby to come and the boys and girls will be chomping at the bit to get back out there. Weather hasn’t helped teams this year with a couple of games and several trainings having to be cancelled. Waimea Old Boys has one of the biggest JAB clubs in the region with 13 teams.

So once again it has been and still is a very successful season for Waimea Old Boys.

Each of its senior sides made, or will make, the semi finals with two of them still in

contention for a championship. Club manager Aleisha Hart says there is a good vibe about Waimea in 2011.

“The clubrooms have been painted and we have just got funding to get our showers upgraded so the club is always trying to improve our already fantastic facilities. It’s also world cup year and we will have the bar open and showing all of the top world cup games. It’s a great time to be a part of Waimea Old Boys.”

Waimea Old Boys 2011

www.wobrfc.co.nz

Waimea women aim to reclaim their title Waimea Old Boys women’s side is back to defend its title, smashing Central 58-7 last Saturday to set up an epic clash for the title with archrivals Stoke.

Waimea swung into action early in the match; scoring the games first try just minutes after kick off when second five Tash Kara dove over. That opened up the floodgates as Waimea scored several more well constructed tries in the first half.

The only blimp in the performance came midway through the opening spell when Central scored its only points of the game.

To score tries for Waimea were: Tash, Aleisha Hart (2), Gemma Milne (2), Sarah George, Megan Miller-Zutshi, Stacey Davis (2) and Louise Sumillian.

The win gives the defending champs plenty of momentum heading into the deciding game. Stoke had to battle a tough Marist side to book its spot in

the showpiece event of the season for the women, meaning Waimea should be the fresher of the two sides this weekend.

But Waimea has only beaten Stoke once this season with three losses and will need to play their game of the season to retain its title.

The final kicks off at 1.15pm at the Ngawhatu Sports Field.

Meanwhile, the division three team continue to show impressive form on their way to the semi finals. With still three regular season games still to play Waimea have already qualified for the playoffs after another win on Saturday.

It defeated Stoke Reds at Jubilee Park, 18-14 in one of the side’s hardest games of the season.

The win means it is still undefeated at home in two years and has fans hoping the team can regain the title it won last season.

Waimea College 9A wins SI netball champs Waimea College 9A continued their sublime season at the South Island Junior Tournament held in Christchurch last week.

The girls is green charged through pool play by annihilating Rangiora High School 44-18, Mt Hutt College 53-10 and Riccarton High School 53-6 on day one. Coach, Ann Wicken said her charges started a bit slowly in their first game, however once they found their rhythm “everything fell into place”. The old adage that the third quarter is the championship quarter rang true as Waimea regularly blitzed their opposition in the third stanza.

Waimea knew they needed to start well against Marlborough Girls College in their crossover game, and they played to the letter with a convincing 12-1 first quarter. They continued on record a 34-12 win.

Their toughest game of the tournament was their semi final against Ashburton College where they managed to chip away each quarter to gain the advantage and win 30-24.

Waimea was accorded a lot of support from other teams when they met St Margarets in the final. Goal shoot, Morgan Inch lead the charge with an accurate display – converting six from six and nine from nine in the middle two quarters in the 39-27 victory.

Ann Wicken said she was extremely proud of her girls, both on and off the court. The results were a true reflection of a real team effort – the girls were solid throughout, they trusted one another and made

sensible decisions. The team had adopted the mantra of “the present – right now”. They handled the pressure, they used their heads, they played good defence through court to the degree that the shooters were able to pick up intercepts.

Goal defence Hannah Davenhill had an outstanding tournament which did not go un-noticed, as she was named in the tournament team.

Hannah had a great combination going with Georgia Davies, while Hannah Taylor made an impact in limited court time as she was coming back from injury.

Mid courters – Ruby Jensen, Holly Young and Katie Thompson were strong through court, both on attack and defence. They put in some beautiful feeds to their shooters Morgan, Katie Ditzel and Emily O’Connor.

Anika Paton and promoted Gloria O’Connor also contributed well on defence.

Waimea College 10A were hoping to achieve back to back wins after taking the Year 9 crown in 2010.

Try as they might, it was not to be for Waimea and they lost the quarter final game 35-38 and along with it the chance of the title.

Coach, Mandy Whiting said although they did not finish as they hoped, the tournament was character building for her team. Goal defender, Gracie Roberts came in for special praise as having an amazing tournament and along with wing attack, Lucy Ingham were selected in the tournament team.

Rep rugby league comes to Brightwater One week after hosting the best local rugby game of the season, the Brightwater Domain, turned itself over to one of the biggest rugby league matches this year.

While there certainly wasn’t the big crowd like the division two rugby final between Wanderers and Murchison last week, the intensity was just as high and the hits just as big.

The Town v Country “origin” game was the third of the year, with town winning each game. The

Country side featured players from the Wanderers Wolves club side, but couldn’t use the homeground advantage, losing 60-26.

After the match the representative side, the Tasman Titans, was named, which features local players to the Waimea region, Loto Pilo and John Delore, both play for the Wolves.

The Titans will play Canterbury in Brightwater in late April, before taking on teams from the rest of the South Island.

Dog registration deadline 31 July 2011

Vegetation Control – Roadside Spraying in Rural Areas

Dog registrations expired on 30 June 2011 and anyone who keeps a dog aged three months or older is required to register their dog by 31 July 2011.

Registration forms for all dogs currently on Council’s database were posted at the end of May 2011. If you have moved from another area, or have changed address within the Tasman area, and did not receive a registration form, please immediately contact your nearest Council office on Ph. 03 543 8400 to update your details so that a form can be sent to you.

The fee for dogs that have not been registered by 1 August 2011 will increase by 50% on top of the standard urban or rural registration fee.

Registration of Non-Spray Areas Tasman District Council’s roading maintenance contractor is responsible for vegetation control within the road reserve. This includes the use of knock-down, residual and brushweed herbicides to remove vegetation growing in the roadway and around street furniture. The contractor is also responsible for control of pest plants and other noxious weeds such as gorse, fennel, hemlock, blackberry, broom, bracken, purple pampas grass and box thorn.

Residents can request that their rural property frontage not be chemically sprayed and instead undertake the vegetation control themselves. On approval Council will mark the “no spray” area with red marker pegs.

Rural residents who choose the “no spray” option must control the vegetation growth along their property frontage to ensure road users are not impeded and all roadside signs and markers are clearly visible. Vegetation height should not exceed 300mm. Any stormwater drainage ditches need to be kept clear of excess vegetation. At intersections vegetation must be kept well clear to ensure good sight lines for traffic using the intersection.

If you wish to apply for your property to be added to the “no spray” list, please contact Robyn Scherer, Engineering Secretary, Tasman District Council, Ph. 03 543 8524 or e-mail robyn.scherer@tasman.govt.nz

The Registration Fee structure for 2011/2012: Urban Dog for a dog living on a property of less than one hectare Urban Dog – Late fee (paid after 31 July 2011) Rural Dog for a dog living on a property that is one hectare or more Rural Dog – Late fee (paid after 31 July 2011) Replacement tag or disk where current one has been lost or damaged

$50.00 $75.00 $30.00 $45.00 $5.00

Impounding Fees for 2011/2012: 1st Impounding Neutered Dog 2nd Impounding Neutered Dog 3rd and subsequent Impoundings Neutered Dog Sustenance – charged per day Drop off fee where dog is not impounded Microchipping impounded dogs if required

$70.00 $35.00 $90.00 $50.00 $110.00 $65.00 $13.50 $30.00 $25.00

Upon application to Council a $30.00 refund applies to a dog that is de-sexed during the registration year following its impounding.

Notice of Meeting – Richmond Unlimited

Annual River Care meetings delayed The huge workload associated with the ongoing aftermath of the December 2010 floods, awarding of a new rivers maintenance contract and a shortage of staff have led to Council’s decision to postpone the annual River Care meetings.

It is planned that River Care groups will meet in October-November 2011, where this year’s programme and plans for the 2012/2013 year will be discussed. We will also provide an update on the flood repair programme and introduce our new contractor.

The meetings will be advertised in the Nelson Mail, local weekly newspapers and on Council’s website www.tasman.govt.nz If you have any queries about river care, please contact Rick Lowe at MWH, Ph. 03 546 0673.

Annual General Meeting, 5.45 pm Wednesday 10 August 2011, Tasman District Council chambers.

Now is your chance to join the executive committee of Promote Richmond Incorporated (trading as Richmond Unlimited).

We need hard-working and committed committee members who will bring ideas, inspiration, motivation and enthusiasm to help us to promote and make Richmond the most convenient and appealing destination for shopping, service or to establish a new business. All landlords and business owners within the Richmond business rating area are welcome to attend.
