Richmond’s eagle flying home for summer Phillip Rollo While Nelson fans didn’t get a chance to see Junior Sifa play in last night’s Rugby World Cup game against Italy, the US Eagles midfielder hopes the region could be seeing a lot more of him over the next few months.

Junior, a founding member of the Tasman Makos, was selected for the United States of America thanks to his place of birth American Samoa.

But currently out of contract, the former Waimea Old Boys player will be basing himself in Nelson over the summer and has not ruled out another crack at the Makos. "I was at Nottingham last year but I haven't signed anything after the World Cup," says Junior. "I'll probably chill out in Nelson for a bit afterwards for some down time. Nelson is always home for me now, so I'll just have to wait and see where it leads me. But I haven't had a summer in awhile and summer in Nelson is always good."

Junior started at inside-centre against the Wallabies in Wellington last Friday night, losing 67-5. He says the game against Australia was the biggest of his career and the nerves were definite on game day in the build up to marking the likes of Will Genia, Quade Cooper and Kurtley Beale. "I just had to wait around all day.

It was definitely the most nervous I've been before a game."

When Junior made is debut for the Eagles in 2008, he knew straight away that a World Cup in his "home country" would surpass any other dream.

But while he did not get the chance to take to Trafalgar Park, a stadium he is more than familiar with, he managed to run out against one the world's biggest teams, and hopes that exposure was enough to impress potential suitors. "It was a totally different atmosphere to New Plymouth. Australia are a

tier one nation, so we wanted to perform to the best of our abilities and I think we did that, before fatigue began to set in."

Junior and the team arrived in Nelson at lunchtime on Saturday to a large group of supporters. They were based in Monaco during their stay. "There was quite a good

turnout at the airport with flags and little kids waving."

The US Eagles' goal at the beginning of the tournament was to finish within the top three of their pool, gaining automatic qualification for 2015. They needed two wins to seal that position.

Richmond Men’s Shed up and running Phillip Rollo The men of Richmond have finally got their shed.

Eighteen months after an initial plan, Men’s Shed Waimea Inc was officially opened on Sunday, and its chairman Jim Davies says it was exciting to finally get in the workshop, with its 70 members all chomping at the bit to get going.

“It’s an absolutely fantastic feeling after just over 18 months of hard work, fundraising, trying to find an actual place to put the shed, it’s finally here,” says Jim. Men’s Shed is a workshop for men in Nelson who have a passion for building, creating and working in a social environment, but may have been forced to downsize their home or live without a shed. Jim says doing something productive and specifically for themselves has plenty of benefits.

“It stops isolation, particularly for older men. They’re that older generation where their wives did everything for them and if their wife predeceases them, they’re lost.”

The ‘shed’ is situated in the former Nelson District Kennel Club rooms at Richmond Park. And the bloke’s first task was turning the beaten down building in to a place they can now happily call their workspace.

The guys have painted the inside, outside, ceiling, windows, doors, water-blasted it all, put in a car parking space, located the machinery and re-wired the place -- all voluntary, for the joy it brings and the camaraderie.

Businesses had donated materials and people within the community

U.S. Ambassador David Huebner has enjoyed his stay in our region so much that he’s bringing his family back with him for his thanksgiving holiday.

David, who is from Los Angeles, but is based in Wellington, made a guest appearance at the Stars n Stripes Main St Parade on Monday, along with the United States of America national rugby team.

David spent three days in the region on business, supporting the US Eagles. However, he will be bringing his United States-based family on his next visit. “Absolutely, it’s a great place,” he says.

David says he was most excited about the game against Italy, held at Trafalgar Park last night, but he was pleasantly surprised by the lengths that Richmond rugby fans had gone to welcome the side.

“I had heard there was going to be a parade, but I didn’t realize it was going to be such a big exuberant parade, it was marvellous.”

David was in Nelson for three days before heading down to Christchurch.

While the rugby team spent most of their time in the region focussed on the big clash with the Italians, David and his spouse Duane McWaine managed to do some “exploring” in the western areas of Tasman.

“It was a nice drive a long the water. Let me tell you, I like the weather. Being here from Los Angeles, I appreciate the sun and the warmth.”

David made a speech following Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne and impressed with his strong Te Reo Maori intro, something he says he has been learning for some time.

had donated use of their tools and machinery, but Jim says they are always looking for more.

Still a “work in progress,” Men’s Shed is likely to be open seven days a week for members, but ground rules and policies are yet to be put in place. The rules are likely to include having a monitor in the shed at all times to keep an eye out on unskilled members working on machinery, and to help train those that need help. “They’re vicious machines if you don’t know what you’re doing and we really don’t want any accidents.”

Some of the items that the members will be creating were on display on Sunday, including a wooden kayak, furniture and a boat made of match-sticks.

Jim says the workshop is strictly for member’s own designs and it is not a business. “It’s about doing something for yourself, your family or your home.”

But they are also open to helping out community groups and schools, if they provide materials and give a donation.

“Just get in touch with us and we’ll see what we can do.”

National MP Nick Smith unveiled Men’s Shed on Sunday morning in front of a large crowd of members and their families.

Over the weekend volunteers of all ages planted 5000 native trees at the Wakapuaka Wildlife Reserve, as part of the nationwide Living Legends programme.

Among the throngs of people were year 5-8 students from Saint Paul’s in Richmond who have been studying environmental issues this term.

But far from the classroom, the students were mucking-in as they took learning into the green space. Moving toward being rubbish free and cleaning up coastal walkways, the school is taking “practical steps to make a difference,” says principal John Dorman.

There was also a thing or two to be learned from the knowledgeable students, while they sunk their spades into the earth. “We have been learning about rainforests and problems like slashing Students Rachel Ashley, and Holly Phillips help out St Paul’s principal and burning,” says Holly Phillips.

David says the American players, especially hometown hero Junior Sifa, were enjoying their time in the region. “I’ve enjoyed it largely because I can see how much they are enjoying. It looks like they’re loving it here.”

Richard says Richmond Festival has been fantastic and having the U.S Ambassador visit was a great treat for the huge crowd in attendance.

“It’s tremendous having the ambassador there, it’s not surprising to see the team members there, but for him to give a commitment to come across to Richmond and Nelson is huge.”

David was also going to schools to speak, including Waimea College, says Richard.

Richard estimated a crowd size similar to the Santa Parade and Last of the Summer Fare.

“There were 900 people in the parade itself then upwards of a couple of thousand lining the street.

“The whole three day event has just been fantastic.”

Tasman news to be seen throughout NZ News from Tasman will now be printed all over the country, thanks to a new partnership between Waimea Weekly and APNZ. Last week, APNZ editor Chris Reed approached Waimea Weekly and its sister paper Nelson Weekly, both locally owned, about supplying stories from the top-of-the-south to its new news service. The photographs and articles will then be available for other newspapers to pick up and run.

APNZ is helping fill the gap left by the closure of NZPA, a significant source of news and photos to New Zealand media for more than 130 years.

It delivers a package of news, sport, business and lifestyle content to APN New Zealand’s 52 daily, Sunday and community newspapers and nzherald.co.nz.

It also services independent partners, including the Otago Daily Times, Gisborne Herald, Ashburton Guardian, Greymouth Evening Star and Westport News.

APN is the second largest publisher of newspapers in New Zealand after the Australianowned Fairfax, owners of The Nelson Mail and Leader.

The first Waimea Weekly-reported story hit the wire last Tuesday, reporting the re-enactment of New Zealand’s first rugby match

at the Botanics Reserve; it was printed in the Otago Daily Times and Ashburton Guardian.

Chris says the relationship is important for APNZ and helps it get the best news from around the country.

“We’re delighted by our new relationship with the Nelson Weekly and Waimea Weekly. APNZ is a truly national news-gathering organisation and we’re thrilled they can help us relay news and information from a beautiful part of New Zealand to the rest of the country.”

Waimea Weekly publisher Steve Page says the relationship shows how important the region is news-wise to the rest of the country.

“We have some of the most exciting people and innovative businesses here and national editors now want to get these stories in their newspapers. At the end of the day this relationship will be great for Tasman, more news from our region getting out to the rest of the country.

“Not only can we get your story in the region’s favourite newspapers, but we can now promote Nelson and Tasman to the rest of New Zealand as well,” he says.

If you have a news story that has national significance Steve says give his team of reporters a call on 544 9037.

Eight months in the Navy and only once has Wakefield man Ryan Brewerton had to reach for the sea-sickness pills. Even that couldn’t put him in a downer about his new job.

“I love being in the Navy, the challenges, every day is a new challenge and every day you learn something new,” says the former Waimea College student.

Ryan was back home this week after his ship HMNZS Rotoiti docked at Port Nelson on Friday.

The Midshipman was greeted by a proud family and for just the second time since he enrolled, he’s been able to sleep in his own bed again.

Father Mark says he is happy to see his son home, even if only for a few days.

“As a parent all you can do is teach them honesty and respect and guide them in the right direction.

I’m very proud with the decisions he’s made and what he’s doing.”

The visit has also given his family a much clearer idea of his day-to-day life.

“When you talk to him on the phone he says where

KEEP WARM THIS WINTER

Reduce condensation and save energy with Double Glazing

he is and what he’s doing but now we can actually see where that is, it’s good to piece it together,” says Mark.

After just under six months of training, Ryan is now training to be a bridge-watch keeper, helping navigate the ship. Ryan says he went for the Navy after deciding university wasn’t for him and speaking with a recruiting officer.

He says he is proud of what he has achieved so far and he wants to keep progressing. “All the training seems hard at the time but it’s just pushing your boundaries.

“I really enjoy this environment and what I’m learning, it’s exciting. I’m just concentrating on the course I’m on at the moment but hopefully one day I’ll be in charge of one of these [ships].”

He says when he does get a moment to think about how far he has come it is a nice thought.

“I definitely love my job, went you’re standing on a multi million dollar minor war vessel looking around, that is pretty cool.”

Brightwater complex set to open

Apartments on Ellis co-owner Christine Ewers shows off the near-complete commercial and residential complex in Brightwater. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Apartments on Ellis is another step closer, in structure and in name.

Owners Dale and Christine Ewers have named the ten residential apartments as Apartments on Ellis, and have announced that all but two of the commercial units have been snapped up.

“There’s only two commercials units left and we haven’t finish the apartments yet, so we didn’t want to start renting those out until we got it completed,” says Dale.

But the finish date for the residential units is creeping closer with Dale confident they will be done by October 17. “All the building itself has been finished now, it’s just the painting and the curtain and drapes.”

Power will be hooked up in the building in the

coming days.

Christine will be overseeing a cafe that will be situated in the building.

The Logger’s Shop, DC Repairs and an autoelectrician have confirmed spots in the commercial building and interest is still high. “We’ve got multiple parties looking, but there’s nothing signed up. We haven’t even advertised or anything, so I’m absolutely blown away by it.”

Most businesses will be moving gear in the coming weeks. There is likely to be an official opening at the end of October, says Dale, although the cafe is likely to be open middle to late November.

If you are interested in renting a unit, phone Christine on 027 433 5008.

A Richmond woman is the town’s newest millionaire, after winning Lotto First Division.

The winning ticket was purchased at Night n Day Richmond and its owner David Smolenski described the woman as a “loyal customer” and a “local woman” with an extended family.

The woman had checked her numbers and knew she won before she entered the store.

The woman suggested the money could buy her a new house, but David wasn’t sure whether it was a serious comment. “She didn’t really say what she would do, but she hadn’t even found her husband at that stage to tell him,” he says.

David believes she will use the money to look after herself, her husband and her extended family, which could include grandkids. “She’s a local from Richmond and she’s a loyal customer of mine and has been coming here for years.”

It is the 19th time Night n Day Richmond has sold a major prize between Lotto and Strike.

The store had sold three winning Strike First Division tickets, four Winning Wheel tickets.

David says in the digital age it doesn’t take long for the store to find out they had sold the winning ticket. “Within half and hour of the Lotto draw, my retail territory manager had texted me saying I had sold the first divison.”

But David was too busy watching the All Blacks game against France on Saturday night and didn’t see the message until closer to 11pm, when someone in the store found out. “That was the ‘oh my god we’d sold $1 million’ moment.”

Teens on the catwalk More than 70 teenage girls and boys strutted their stuff in Richmond during the weekend as they got a first hand experience on skincare products and how to present themselves.

The day attracted a lot of interest throughout Tasman with more than 100 people applying.

Director Alana Riley says she wanted to crreate the event for teens of the community as its something that they don’t really get an opportunity to do. “It’s something that will help them all moving forward with jobs and just in general,” she says.

During the day the teens learnt how to bet-

ter present themselves with makeup classes, skincare classes, and presentation skills.

Each participant also got to go away with a goodie bag with free products to use at home. “The main thing was confidence and a bit of direction. I mean it’s a time in their life where they’re starting to use make-up and use skincare. So it was just so they could ask questions and learn some grooming skills.”

This was the first VIP day Oxygen was running in New Zealand ahead of a full country-wide tour at the beginning of 2012.

Alana says it was great to see a handful of boys amongst the group as well.

NEWS IN BRIEF FORKLIFT JOY-RIDE: An early morning joy-ride on a stolen forklift has left local police annoyed and one van upside down on Cresent St. The forklift was stolen from Taylor’s Timbers. Its owner Matthew Taylor says the forklift was taken from an open yard and then driven in to the fence in order to escape.

The alledged offender then drove the forklift down the road, breaking letterboxes, before it was found in police hands at sunrise.

WINES KICKED IN TO TOUCH: New Zealand – represented by Nelson wines, has held international competition at arm’s length to win the supreme award and First XV trophy at the 2011 Nelson Wineart First XV Wine Competition. The winners were chosen after a blind tasting of all 45 wines – Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer. The judges then selected their favourite 15 wines (the first XV) from all the wines and the country with the most wines in this selection was awarded the overall trophy.

BUSTED: A 37 year-old male was arrested for intentional damage on Queen St at 11:55am on Friday morning. A 44 year-old male was also arrested in a seperate case in Brightwater after he failed to supply details and for resisting arrest, assaulting police and driving while forbidden.

Fishing club hoping to hook some new members With the fishing season about to fire into full gear, the Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club is preparing to welcome new members with a new format.

The Nelson Dawnbreakers Fishing Club has added an exciting range of special interest sections for the October start to the fishing season and will preview them and other details at its open day this Saturday, October 2 at 2pm.

While sea fishing, sea casting and fresh water fishing have all been strong in the club, committee member Ron Prestage says they are now adding kayak and jet-ski fishing as well as free diving to the calendar.

Another big change is competitive fishers

can weigh in their catch any day of the week at various Nelson and Tasman businesses, as opposed to the former weigh-in day of Sunday.

“It means people don’t have to make a special effort on Sunday’s and it means people working weekends or shift work can weigh in whenever suits them,” says president of the club Doug McKay. The family-friendly club is keen to boost its membership so if you are a keen fisherman (or lady) or would like to get more involved, pop down to the club’s open day at the Suburban Club this Saturday.

First place was Olivia Avery of Appleby School.

Olivia chose Mysteries and presented a colourful speech about Loch Ness and its monster, says the judges.

Emma Gordon, although not placed, spoke on the plight of caged birds, from her own wire cage and dressed as a chicken - a real crowd pleaser, and Isaiah Malulau, dressed in national costume, gave a unique look at where he came from, split into 4 categories: biological, cultural, physical, and spiritual.

The organisers would like to thank Office Products Richmond for their incredible help in the competition and for supply more than $300 worth of prizes

Tasman people are satisfied, shows survey Nearly three quarters of Tasman residents are satisfied with the way rates are spent on services and facilities, says Tasman District Council.

The news is the headline result from the independent annual customer survey undertaken by the National Research Bureau for the Council.

“While this is a pleasing result, there is still a group of just over 20 percent who were conversely not very satisfied”, says Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne.

“We know, and it is just the nature of Local Government, that we will never satisfy all residents but that does not mean that full satisfaction is not a target for us.

GAME ON: Bob Reynolds with his new road safety board game. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Board game ready to hit the road Bob Reynolds hopes now that his new road safety board game has the tick of approval from a police manager in Wellington, advertisers can help him make it a reality.

Bob Reynolds has been making board games ever since he was a child and has been trialling his most recent project in schools around Richmond for the past two years.

The game is a road safety version of Monopoly, where it takes knowledge of the current road rules, and of course a bit of luck, to win.

Bob has made board games in the past with one selling 25,000 copies.

He sent his latest to New Zealand Police to get their opinion and he received a great response.

The letter from NZ Police’s communication manager Lesley Wallis stated: “I think it is really fantastic and I’ll definitely buy a few if you can get it to go ahead.”

Bob is after more people to trial the game before he seeks advertising.

“When compared to other similar Councils we are certainly doing better, but we cannot rest on our laurels. The survey will help us to identify where our community thinks we are doing well and the areas where we can improve.”

Richard says the survey shows TDC must do more to identify ways to further consult and inform Tasman residents and ratepayers.

“What is interesting is the level of positive feedback we have received regarding our initiatives and work to preserve and enhance the lifestyle in Tasman. Through the development of parks, walkways, beautifications and restorations and ac-

cess, to and protection of, natural areas we are enhancing the ability of residents to enjoy what the district has to offer. We will certainly continue to deliver this”, says Richard.

Within the survey residents were asked where they would like to see more money spent as part of the council’s long term planning process.

“Responses provided valuable input and reflected much of the work the council is doing already,” says Richard.

A total of 401 residents over 18 years of age were surveyed.

There was a margin of error of plus or minus four percent.

Brightwater resident and author of ‘Inventing For the Rest of Us - A New Zealand Guide’ is on track to have his book soon titled as ‘an Australian guide’.

Not that Chris minds too much, he says his book “can help people work smarter, not harder” and if it can help an Aussie battler with their backyard invention then that all contributes to building towards a “better future”.

Nana’s a hit at school

Waimea Intermediate students have been making a fluffy mess lately.

A group of students have teamed up with Age Concern members in a ‘Knitting with Nanas’ module.

The module sees a handful of ‘Nanas’ come to the school each week for a knitting lesson, and the students are loving it.

Jess Breeze of Age Concern says the module helps promote intergenerational activities, socialisation and positive aging.

It also coincides with this weekend’s International Day of the Older Person, which will be celebrated at the Richmond School Community Hall on Oxford St. The event starts at 1:30pm on Saturday.

Waimea Intermediate is also looking for donations of wool and knitting needles to aid with their module and to keep Janette Ellis with Montana Heslop at the Waimea it going regularly. To contact Intermediate Knitting with Nanas module. Photo: Phillip Rollo. the school, phone 544 8994.

It is great to have the longer days here with the arrival of daylight saving.

At our meeting this month we were lucky to have two guest speakers, the first being Mark Tregurtha who is the TDC Strategic Projects Advisor. He spoke about the 10 year plan which will be up for discussion in the next few months. He wants to know our ideas of what we see would be important for our Community over that time. We need to

think about a “wish list” of needs. Let us know if you have any ideas and we can put them on our list. The second speaker was Nicola Berthelson who is the newly appointed Senior Care Co-ordinator for Waimea Senior Care.

From our meeting this month: BMX Track – It is hoped to be able to do the final push of completing the track – we need to get a digger back down there and do the final touches. Rua will be getting costs for this to be done and hopefully we can get underway in the not too distant future.

Village Green – We have the cable location report in hand so hope to get the tree stump removed and the two new trees, donated by Franks Trees, planted.

Mural Project - At long last the weather has been warmer and we have made a start on the mural. Thanks to the efforts of Pauline Coy and Marie Greeks and their helpers we have the sealer/undercoat on. The next stage is to get the mural items on there and the painting of that started. If you would like to help with the painting ring Pauline on 5423994.

Spring Flower Show The Brightwater Horticultural Society Spring Flower Show was held at Brightwater Hall on Saturday 17 September. A record number of 500 entries were received, up from 300 last year. Large crowds attended the fair, especially on Saturday which was very busy. This meant great turnover on the fundraising stalls, proceeds from which will be distributed to a worthy local charity which is yet to be chosen.

Champion Bloom was won by

Proposed Amalgamation – We are awaiting the hearing dates from the Local Government Commission.

Brightwater Business Directory - We are putting together a local business directory for local residents.

If you do not have a business card, just put your details on paper and slip it in the box.

We are looking for a ‘Special Someone’ to co-ordinate items for our monthly newsletter. The job requires a willingness to receive, prepare and forward information to Waimea Weekly on a monthly basis. The role will involve only a few hours per month and remuneration will be included. If you are interested please contact D Rogers on 542 3291 or email rogers@tasman.net Well that is our lot for this month.

The tournament was the first of the three days of Rugby World Cup activities happening in Tasman as part of the Richmond Festival.

The Buccaneers, featuring Crusaders fullback Tom Marshall, Tasman Makos captain Andrew Goodman and New Zealand Sevens international Shane Christie came from three tries down to take the final 38-26 over the Wolf Pack, from the Marist club.

All the usual Nelson stars; Kim Bateman, Loui Harvey, Mitchell Scott and Willis Scott, also made heavy contributions in the win.

Tournament organiser and former US international Anthony Holder says the skill level in all grades was fantastic. “Everyone should be proud of the way they played,” he says. “It’s great Waimea Old Boys player James Lowe edges his way to the try line at the Tasman Invitational for the spectators to come out and see guys that are on the national and inSevens Tournament held at Jubilee Park on Sunday.

ternational stage playing in a Sevens tournament in Richmond.”

Waimea Old Boys competed well throughout the day with Kaide Whiting creating havoc on many occasions. Sam Prattley also made the transition to the seven-a-side game with ease.

Wanderers claimed the B Grade title, while Nelson College, featuring Richmond’s Steven Soper, cruised to victory in the Under-18 grade and Blenheim club Toa Whenua Ki Wairau were victors in the Under-13s.

All-in-all 23 teams took part on the day. “This really set the theme for the Richmond Festival. I think people have definitely got the biggest buzz around.”

Around eight of the US Eagles arrived at Jubilee Park for the final including former Waimea Old Boys centre Junior Sifa and 2007 World Cup star Takudzwa Ngwenya. “I’m sure everyone will support the US side now seeing they made such an effort to come down here for this tournament,” says Anthony.

Richmond connection heads to Suburbs Joe Green, Cary Hamson and Ben Wright will be taking control of the coaching reigns at Nelson Suburbs’ Mainland League side next year, with the latter also forming a mouth-watering combination with Waitakere United striker Gagame Feni on the pitch.

Joe, a former Richmond Athletic captain, Ben, and Cary, who was involved in the coaching staff at Richmond for 13 years, were officially announced by club president Jason Lavington this week and take over the role formerly vacated

by John Slotemaker and Paul Brydon.

Ben played professionally in England and Norway up until 2010 and his career is highlighted by a goal at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea in the UEFA Cup with Viking FK. Ben is likely to play a key role up front for the Robbie’s Premier League runners-up, as well as in a coaching role, while Joe is also planning on lacing up the boots for a game or two.

Joe and Ben will both operate in a paid director of football role at the club, coaching in all levels with the club and in regional talent centres with Nelson

Ex-Richmond winger Jordan Yong will return to Nelson in May to link up with Suburbs and is the perfect replacement for the departed Adam Smith.

Sam Mason-Smith, another former Richmond player, currently weighing up Canterbury United or Team Wellington’s ASB Premiership squads, is also likely to jump ship if he returns to the region.

Club member Bill Hart with club president Colleen Kempton.

On Saturday, Richmond Bowling Club celebrated the opening of their bowling season. Anyone was welcome and there was a pleasing turnout, guests enjoyed afternoon tea as well as watching Mac Brownlie, who has been a member of the club for forty-two years, put up the first bowl for the season. Established in 1919, the club provides a top end facility with two well maintained greens and is located just along Lower Queen St in Richmond, opposite the racecourse.

On 9 October Richmond Bowling club will play host to ‘Have a Go Day’, a nationwide event run by Bowls New Zealand to promote the sport. It is an open event from one until four in the afternoon, for anyone interested in joining the club or wanting to have a social day out. This is a free event, and a wonderful way to enjoy a day out in the sun with the whole family.

Have a Go Day is held annually at clubs all over the country. It’s a great way to try bowling for the first time and realise that it’s not only enjoyed by retirees. Players

of all ages are encouraged to come along, especially those who are younger and may never have considered trying bowling before.

Come along and be surprised, it’s a social sport that requires skill, and you get to have a great day out in the sun with friends.

From the first week of November, there is a Tuesday social league sponsored by NBS. It runs for twelve weeks, with a break over Christmas and New Years, a prize being awarded to the eventual winning team. Last year there were twenty-four teams consisting of four players each, and Colleen Kempton, the president of the club, is hoping that this year will be even bigger. Each team must only have one registered player. The league is held weekly on Tuesday from six in the evening, with a barbecue available for those who come straight from work. On the league nights the bar is open and there are raffles to make it an all round enjoyable and social evening out.

Get a team of four together with your friends, workmates or family and join the league this summer.

Entrants for the tournaments can be members of any club that is affiliated with Bowls New Zealand, and as a member of Richmond Bowling club you will have the opportunity to play in tournaments at other clubs.

Bowling is a great sport for all ages and fitness levels, and at the Richmond Bowling Club the friendly staff and members will put you at ease and make sure you get the most out of bowling.

Flipping fun There were more flips than the fish and chip shop as the young kids from all over Nelson and Tasman competed for gymnastic glory.

On Sunday, Just Gym held their annual gymnastics competition for recreational gymnasts at the Moutere Hills Community Centre.

Over 100 young gymnasts competed in this year’s competition with Just Gym gymnasts coming from Nelson, Richmond, and Wakefield.

Mapua/ Moutere and the Riwaka/ Brooklyn Gymnastics Clubs also competed. Just Gym runs the competition each year to give the gymnasts a taste of gym competition, in a friendly and fun environment.

Open to children of all abilities the ages ranged from as young as 4 to 12 years-old.

Gymnasts compete on four appara-

tus, and are judged out of ten. With gymnasts training less than an hour a week, some of the skills shown on the day were very impressive.

Maria Lacy, Evie Fox, Kushla McDonald, Isabella Lawson and Sorraya Plimmer were awarded 9.8 for their bar routines. Sorraya Plimmer, back for her fourth competition in a row, was looking for a third gold medal and achieved this with the highest overall score of the competition with a total of 37.6.

Wakefield go all out to win Gould & Tout Wakefield first XI pressed four goals past FC Nelson Tahunanui first XI to claim to the Gould & Tout Trophy for the first time in the club’s history.

The win follows up from last year’s second division title and club captain Ian Radcliffe says it’s great to see the club going places and ending another season with a trophy in the cabinet. “It was a fantastic way to end the season for all connected to Wakefield FC, a very proud day and one that will be remembered for a long time,” says Ian. Will Marshall was the standout performer and picked up a brace of goals for his efforts. The boxto-box midfielder scored the final goal of the match, cementing Wakefield’s spot in Gould & Tout folklore.

But the game wasn’t all Wakefield, with FC Nelson Tahunanui

opening the scoring on 10 minutes.

Bryce Taylor and Loren Marshall also got their names on the scoresheet for Wakefield.

To be the best you have to beat the best, and Ian says defeating Richmond and champions Nelson Suburbs 2nd XI en route to the final gave them plenty of confidence that this was going to be their year.

“In the past Wakefield have often missed out on silverware, however, we have put together a strong squad of players over the last few years.”

Ian says he would like to thank all the “amazing” supporters who turned up to watch and cheer the team.

Wanderers beat Brisbane Irish in player’s swan song Andy Smith says bowing out on his boyhood pitch was the second best way to end his career. Only a defeat at the hands of his former club, Wanderers, wasn’t to the script as Brisbane Irish were defeated 39-0 on a cold, wet Monday night in front of a bumper crowd last week.

Andy grew up in Wakefield and played his very first game of rugby for the Wanderers Under-10 side in 1988. Following a stint at University, Andy also represented Wanderers in the Nelson Bays division one competition in 2002, 2003 and 2004, before heading off to Ireland where he played for Corinthians in Galway.

After returning to play for Wanderers in 2006, Andy relocated to Brisbane and linked up with the Brisbane Irish club.

Andy was keen on a trip to New Zealand in FINAL HURDLE: Wakefield’s Andy Smith returned to play his final game time for the Rugby World Cup, so he decided on New Zealand soil against boyhood club Wanderers, with the Brisbane to bring his whole squad with him.

me,” he says. “I always get excited about coming back to New Zealand, but to have the opportunity to play one last match on the ground on which I played my very first match in junior rugby was amazing.”

Andy says running out of the same changing sheds that he had previously done on many occasions was like deja vu, but it was the first time he was in the opposition room. “Rugby has given me so much over the years, and for these two clubs who mean so much to me to be involved on this night just meant the world to me. I was so proud that my parents could be there to watch too.”

The Brisbane Irish team also consited of some Waimea College students and teachers to help make up the numbers and it was the Press Cup players who made an early impression for the visitors.

The curtain raiser clash of the Wanderers Under10s, the first team Andy played for, against Stoke was followed by a guard of honour as both teams ran out. The Wanderers Under-10’s also performed the pre-game haka, which “raised the hairs” on the Irish player’s back - and it wasn’t because of the cold.

The game was one of Andy’s last. “I love rugby with a passion – as do many people – but with my wife due with our first baby in three weeks, and a lot of pressures on my time from work, it is hard to find the time to fully commit to another season of rugby.”

Andy says while his body is a bit heavier than in the past, it has held up pretty well throughout his career. But priorities change. “Inevitably we have to sacrifice things along the way. I do hope to be able to pull the boots on for a little cameo or two over the next few years, but sadly, my competitive rugby has come to and end. I couldn’t think of a more fitting place to call it time though.”

Brisbane Irish have suggested they are likely to return, but Andy is hoping that maybe next time the club could be hosting Wanderers. “New Zealanders are a very special breed of people and I was so proud that the Irish could experience a little taste of regional Nelson.”

Hockey girls make big strides With the help of great foresight from the Nelson Hockey Association 17 girls set out to win a national hockey competition this weekend.

The first ever Nelson under 11 girls hockey team with ages ranging from very young 8 to 10 year olds, took on a much larger and older 11 and under Marlborough team in a home and away series this weekend.

Their ultimate goal is to win a national competition in two years and learned a lot from their recent series, despite losing both games.

The first game in Nelson saw a wise, strong Marlborough team, winning easily 3-1 through stronger ball play and harder hitting.

The second game on Sunday in Marlborough saw Nelson learn from their many mistakes and even though three key players were unavailable, only went down 1-0.

Public Notice of Right to Demand a Poll on Electoral System

Decisions on Amendments

On 11 August 2011, the Tasman District Council decided to retain the First Past the Post (FPP) electoral system for the 2013 and 2016 local government triennial elections. This is the system that the Council has used in past elections for Council and community boards.

The choice is between the First Past the Post (FPP) and the Single Transferable Vote (STV) electoral systems. Unless a poll determines otherwise, the FPP electoral system will continue to be used for the Tasman District Council.

A valid demand for a poll must be: • made in writing; • signed by at least 5 percent of eligible electors of the Tasman District Council. This will require 1,690 elector signatures; • delivered to the office of the Tasman District Council, 189 Queen Street, Richmond, 7020 by Tuesday 28 February 2012.

Every elector who signs a demand must also set out in it his or her full name and the address for which he or she is qualified as an elector of the Tasman District Council.

For further information, please phone Lloyd Kennedy, Electoral Officer Ph. 03 543 8434.
