Brisbane 2012 here we come!

BRISBANE BOUND: Last year’s 9A netball team and under 14 rugby team from Waimea College, consisting of Sam Johnstone, Liam Taplin, Jackson Smith, Jimmy Calder, Jacob Berthelsen, Gracie Roberts, with front page winner Tracey Aindow, and Mel Harris, Shaun Aindow, Lucy Ingham, Villiami Inisi and Riley Heslop are excited to head to Brisbane next July.

Netballer Lucy Ingham says attending the tournament is a good reward and shows that “you can do something if you work hard”.

“It’s also taking the next level up in our sporting experiences,” adds rugby player Jimmy Calder.

The students believe competing at regional and South Island tournaments is good, but to be able to compete at an international level will be even better. “To see how we can compete against all these other teams and to see if we would still be as good as we are here against all those other teams,” says Lucy.

Watching other nations play sport will also

give the teams the chance to see what other country’s play style is like, adds Jimmy.

The teams have already done a bit of fundraising and a car wash has been scheduled for the weekend of July 9 and 10, these take place in the Richmond Mall car park at $5 a car. Some students have even spent an afternoon picking up rocks to earn money.

Daniel says $100,000 is a lot of money to raise, but they have a year to do it. “It’s doable, but if we’re realistic we’re aiming to fundraise at least half.”

So if you can help the sports teams in any way get in touch with Daniel on 544 6099 (ext 878) or email Daniel.Hobbs@waimea. school.nz.

Daniel says the teams are very tight, and are very good friends. “There’s all the offfield learning’s they’ll get from it as well, like having to fundraise, having to earn their way there, having the social skills and the tournament play which includes for the netballers playing three games a day.”

Tracey believes the international sports tournament will be an amazing opportunity for the students. “Not only are they representing their school, they’re also representing their community and their country.”

A tour organising committee has been created, with four parents working hard to make everything happen.

There’s no pressure, but if last year’s Waimea College 9A netball team and the under 14 rugby team don’t win at the Southern Skies Tournament in Brisbane next year, they won’t be coming home.

Winner of the Waimea Weekly front page competition Tracey Aindow says she’s joking, but the two teams will be taking the Australasian tournament very seriously.

Over a hundred votes came via email and through the Waimea Weekly’s Facebook page for the sports teams and their bid for our front page. And their message: The College have “slaves” who are ready and willing to do some work for a buck.

The two sports teams did phenomenally well last season, with the netball team winning the South Island Secondary School’s tournament in Christchurch and the rugby team were unbeaten all of last season on their way to winning the under 14 Nelson Bays competition.

Waimea College sports director Daniel Hobbs has suggested the two teams compete at the Southern Skies Tournament in Brisbane in July 2012. This tournament attracts entries from Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and Asia, with around 160 teams in total.

With this goal in mind, all the students need to do is raise the funds to fly over the ditch. The cost of the trip has been priced at around $100,000 for the 36 students and five accompanying adults – around $2500 per person.

Daniel says the school have at this stage veered away from sponsorship because they want the students to work for the cash. A team from the College last attended the Southern Skies tournament in 2006, but Daniel says the school, in his memory, hasn’t sent a tour group this big anywhere for a long time.

Plans to put a safe crossing on Wakefield's Whitby Rd is one step further on track.

Representatives from the New Zealand Transport Agency met with concerned Wakefield resident Rachel Strasser and Waimea College Gifted and Talented Education students Kaine Ransby and Walter Noteboom last week.

The representative have now invited the three to meet with them again, along with the Tasman District Council on their next visit to the region in two months time.

The NZTA have indicated a kiwicare crossing could be formed from the current traffic island, although it

NEWS IN BRIEF • The petition organised by Redwood Valley resident David Vanstone is gathering momentum. David organised the petition to lobby council about the intersection at Golden Hills Rd and Waimea West Rd after a fatal accident last month.

“There’s been quite a bit of interest, we’re certainly getting a few signatures,” he says. The petition can now be found at Stoneridge Café, the Beverly Store at Three Brothers Corner, Brightwater Motors and the Greenwood Dairy by the Travellers Rest.

Rachel has voiced her concerns, along with other Wakefield residents, about the safety of the crossing which divides the Wakefield township, making it near impossible to get from the bakery to the pharmacy during peak traffic hours.

“Things aren't happening quick enough to save a life,” she says.

But she acknowledges NZTA's invitation is a “step forward” and hopes the residents, council and the transport agency can come to an agreement sooner rather than later.

Kevin Gauntlet doesn’t think he’s that special, but being recognised for his countless hours of volunteer work last week was a real honour.

The Aniseed Valley resident was one of five recipients of a special award at last Thursday’s Nelson Tasman Youth Volunteer Awards.

Kevin plays a key role in the youth leadership team at Grace Church and every week he spends several hours preparing for events and activities.

He also donates time and money to help pay for kids who can’t afford to attend church trips. He has even purchased a van recently so he can transport young people to and from youth group and to camps.

Others from Tasman who received a special award were Waimea College student Jenna Ross, Virginia Win from Riding for the Disabled, the Mouteka YOUTH VOLUNTEER: Aniseed Valley’s Kevin Gauntlet High School Family Service Centre and with his volunteer award. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

“We know that the newspaper industry is facing challenges, and that they’re looking to reduce costs and grow revenue. But local advertising relies on workers spending in their local communities.

How can they spend when they don’t have jobs?”

Paul was reported as saying. The Nelson Mail made significant cuts to its staff in 2009 in subediting, accounts and prepress departments, with the majority of the work for those departments now done from out of town “hubs” based in Hamilton and Christchurch as well as other centres.

The Australian company that owns the Nelson Mail and the three Leaders is sacking New Zealand workers and sending their jobs to India, according to a report in the New Zealand Herald newspaper.

Fairfax Media announced plans to axe 45 staff across its publications in New Zealand to creative advertising studios in India last week.

EPMU senior national industry officer Paul Tolich expressed disappointment at the news in the Herald, which affects “day-to-day advertisements, often from templates, for insertion in metro and suburban papers owned by Fairfax Media in New Zealand.” The Nelson Mail and the Leaders are already using offshore studios for some artwork.

WEDNESDAY 29 June 2011

‘Jace would be stoked’ It was dubbed the Race4Jace and the childhood friend of V8 super car driver Jason Richards says he would have loved the event.

Jason is fighting a very rare and aggressive form of cancer. Fundraisers for his medical treatment have been held around the globe and the event in Nelson on Saturday showed his home town is also right behind him.

Tony Dyer, along with mates Nick Fowler and Brendan Gridley, organised the event, which in total raised $10,000 for Jason.

Hundreds turned out to watch the Ba-

Local grower takes title Local man Kevin Withington is one step closer to claiming that much-hoped-for national title.

Kevin, who featured in last week’s Waimea Weekly, along with other local fruit growers Bryce Dixon, from Easton Apples, and Canaan Balck, from Hoddy’s Orchard, made a clean sweep of the 2011 Nelson Young Fruit Grower of the Year Competition, placing first, second and third respectively.

Kevin, who has worked at Hoddy’s Orchard for 10 years, won the regional competition last year but missed out on the national title. He can now have another crack at the title next month.

Competition co-ordinator Andrew Kininmonth says that the regional grower competition gives young horticulturists an opportunity to showcase their skills outside of the work environment.

“It gives recognition to the wide range of skills growers need to learn to be the best in their field.

These competitions help celebrate excellence in an informal way.

“Kevin [Withington] is a perfect example of the high standard of young fruit growers we have in New Zealand today,” he says.

Tony says he was stoked with the event and the amount of money it raised.

“We’re really chuffed, it couldn’t have gone better.”

Nick says locals were also keen to show their support with money. “People were definitely parting with money. We had some people putting in $20 and $40, which is awesome. Because Jason has always put a lot back into Nelson karting people have been keen to repay the favour I think and show Jason there is plenty of support for him here in Nelson.

We all want him to bounce back.”

TO THE EDITOR As a family who regularly takes their children into the outdoors hunting or fishing, I feel Leanne Gambell (Waimea Weekly, June 15) needs to get in the real world and find something better to whinge about.

More parents should introduce their children to the outdoor experience instead of taking them to visit animals that are caged and in an unnatural environment.

It is teaching them great life skills that

New president takes hold of Rotary reigns

Richmond Rotary President Pip Berkett said farewell to her chains on Monday night as Appleby resident David Ludbrook took over.

Pip says her year as president of the club has been satisfying. “It’s a big responsibility to run a club like that. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the support of the Rotary members.”

Numbers at Rotary have grown by nine, with no members leaving. This in itself is a good indication that Pip has had a “reasonably good year”.

Pip says it’s a great feeling to know she accomplished everything she set out to do in her year as president. “My goal was to make Rotary as relevant and accessible to our community as I could make it.”

A lot of the projects Pip focused on have been youth orientated and the fundraisers the club have been involved in have been successful.

In fact, they were so much so that on Monday night the club was able to donate $10,000 to the Summit Rescue Helicopter Trust.

David says he now has big shoes to fill, but is looking forward to the challenge. He has a few ideas up his sleeve on how to build on Pip’s work and is glad he has her support throughout the year as out-going president.

I feel there are already stacks of (free) parking in Richmond. Surely the only car parking on Queen St that needs to be improved is for disabled users, not able bodied people who are too lazy to walk a few more metres.

All the car parks I find are all conveniently situated close to the shops anyway.

Yes paint the lines, but for less car parking not more. Surely that would make it safer for everyone concerned.

Regarding Sundial Square, I thought it was meant to be more a pedestrian area for people to enjoy without having to dodge parked cars to get to the square and then have to look at them when you are sat down.

I was really disappointed when cars were allowed to park around the existing area (Sundial Square) It looks like it will be even more congested now.

Perhaps TDC should get an up with the times with a future vision for Richmond and follow a more pedestrianised version with much less emphasis on finding more spaces for cars.

Surely they should be encouraging more walking not less.

Hope School becomes a family tradition Teresa Hattan The Max family name is one easily recognisable at Hope School. On Monday, the first of the fifth generation will start at the school and the family say they really had no option about where to send newlyturned five year-old Leroy.

Leroy’s father Ben attended Hope School a “few” years ago and was taught by the same teacher who will be taking his son through his first year at school. “Even though we moved to Wakefield there was still no other option of schools for Leroy to attend,” says Ben. Leroy’s great great grandfather Don Max, a former All Black, was the first to attend Hope School. It is thought this was during the early years of the First World War. Gordon was next in line, born in 1924 and starting at the school in 1929. He says things have changed quite a lot since he was last at the school. “The old school used to be down the end of the property, it’s now been re-built.”

In those days there were only two teachers at the school, who would turn up in one of the only cars in the district at the time.

“I’m happy to turn up to school today, I’m pretty sure I won’t be getting the strap,” says Gordon.

He says this is really the only difference between school now and school when he attended over 80 years ago, the form of punishment.

Gordon then went on to attend Nelson FIVE GENERATIONS: Ben Max, left, with his son Leroy, 5, Gordon and Laurence.

would bike to Brightwater to catch the train in to school.

Gordon’s son Laurence also attended Hope School and fondly remembers every name of his classmates. “There were only three, all girls too, I was the only boy.”

The Max family have been on the same Hope farm for more than 100 years, with seven generations over the years based there.

Gordon says it’s lovely to see his great grandson attend the same school he did.

“It gives one a sense of belonging.”

Leroy has been gearing up for school over the past month, spending every Thursday for the past four weeks making visits to prepare.

The young man, complete with muddy gumboots fresh off the farm, says “everything” will be great when he attends school next week. He says he is looking forward to learning how to read and write.

Ben says being back at school with his son brings everything back, “even the playhouse here in the classroom is the same as it was when I was here.”

Leroy’s uncle, and deputy principal of Hope School Liam Connolly says this year the school is looking to continue marketing itself as a viable choice for parents to send their children to.

There are many things linking the Max family to Hope School, including a remembrance brick in the playground, but it is the strong family links the school produces, such as the Max family, that make sure the small country school continues to grow and prosper.

It’s been a purpose built medical centre since just after the war, opening its doors in 1947.

But next month the Cambridge St Clinic will be moving to Lower Queen St and will become the Tasman Medical Centre.

Dr Peter Thomas is now on the lookout for stories and any history he can find about the clinic.

They would even like to know if anyone was born at the clinic or has memories of the original doctors, Dr Shearer, Dr Patterson and Dr Hannah.

JAZZING IT UP: The Waimea College jazz band made up of, from left, Marcelle Hecker, Lydia Maxwell-Le Bas, Sam Hitchens, Bridget Field, Zantana Kohu, Lauren Ford, Patrick West, Yuki Maegawa, James Vanner, tutor Simon Williams Simon Parkes and Jacob Peters will be competing at the College Jazz Band competition next month. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Band aims to hit Meet Craig Hamilton... the right note Waimea College students are warming up their instruments for Nelson’s first high school jazz competition.

The Nelson Jazz Club will be holding the inaugural College Jazz Band Competition for local high schools on July 10 at the Honest Lawyer in Monaco. Up for grabs is $1000 for the winning band, which has already seen four local bands sign up. As well as giving local bands the opportunity to gain performance experience, and showcase music and improvisational skills, the competition aims to encourage jazz amongst college students and expose them to other bands in the region.

This is the first time the competition is being held and in future years organisers hope it will become part of the very successful Woollaston Nelson Jazz Festival. The competition starts at 3pm.

Mrs Hunter kept a diary over 40 years and on many pages someone had died, sometimes sitting at the table, or in front of the main building steps and they had to be laid out awaiting the hospital ambulance to take them into hospital.

ALEXANDRA HOME: Looking up Queen St to where Alexandra Home was located.

Railway Hotel. At Christmas time a keg of beer would be bought for the inmates who wanted it.

An old Irish man named Timothy Carey kept the lawns mown and weed free and green as velvet, but occasionally when he had been down to the Village he would return in a quarrelsome Irish mood demanding to see the “Master”. He would vow that Ruby the cook was in league with the Pope against him and all sorts of wild accusations!

Being at the time of the Depression there were many tramps and swaggers out of work and on the roads. At dusk they would be seen coming up Queen St towards the Home, being sent on from the Star & Garter or Railway Hotels. This annoyed Mr Hunter as although the name “Alexandra” had been chosen for meaning “Helper of Men”, he felt the establishment was provided for the aged and infirm and indigent

Just after Christmas and New Year it was decided to give those who would care to, a holiday at Monaco, about six miles distant, in January each year. Mr Smith’s house was rented out near the Point and to accommodate the overflow of people, tents were erected at the rear. Inmates were taken in turn to have a complete change and a holiday, Mrs Hunter would overload her car with patients and supplies and a Hospital Board truck would be acquired to help with bedding and larger items.

At that time there were only about half a dozen cottages on the whole peninsular and the middle of the area was covered in gorse, manuka and other rubble with plenty of rabbits abounding, at low tide buckets of cockles were there for the taking. Following a period of ill health Mrs Hunter retired in 1939 and went to Nelson to live and Mr Hunter continued on until 1945 when at 65 he retired.

High flying Crusaders off to Africa Waimea 9A grind out the win The nomadic Crusaders of 2011 have ventured to Trafalgar Park four times this season, but while the latest win may not have been as emotionally charged as February fixture, weeks after the killer earthquake in Christchurch and also a tribute to the Pike River Miners, it was by far the most important.

The Crusaders shook off early rust to clinically dispose of the Sharks in the Super 15 quarter final in Nelson on Saturday night, in front of 12,000 fans facing a battle of their own – a bitterly cold winter night. The Crusaders put on a second half display to help warm the souls of red and black supporters though, if not the fingers or noses.

Second half tries to Kieran Read and Nelson boy Ben Franks drove home the 36-8 win after Sonny Bill Williams dotted down in the first half. Star first five Dan Carter kicked 18 points in total with replacement pivot Matt Berquist adding a solitary conversion to the score board.

The win lifts the seven time Super rugby champions to a semi final in Cape Town, where awaiting them are the classy Stormers, which topped the South African conference. The Crusaders will take confidence in the fact they beat the Stormers on their home patch earlier this season and will have the added bonus of All Black skipper Richie McCaw’s services. They will also be well-used to preparing on foreign soil – not playing one of its games in Christchurch this season, due to February’s earthquake.

Although not at their traditional home, Trafalgar Park has welcomed the side with open arms this season and the city boasts strong ties with many of the players. Props Ben and Owen Franks are from Motueka, Wyatt Crocket went to Nelson College, Kahn Fotuali'i is a former Mako, Ryan Crotty was born in Nelson while Tom Marshall, Jonathan Poff, Quentin MacDonald and Chris Jack are all Makos.

Sports In BrIef RUGBY: The Waimea College Press Cup squad secured their second win on the trot after travelling to Christchurch again over the weekend. The side took on Lincoln High School in nippy conditions, triumphing 36-15.

Waimea led 17-3 at halftime following tries to Kurt Malietoa and Riley Johnston, with Luca Roden adding both conversions

and a penalty. Three more tries to Waimea made for an exciting second half.

TRAIL RUNNING: Waimea College teacher Gus Shirley came home first in the short course of Escape from Tane’s Forest trail running event on Saturday with a time of one hour, 35 minutes and 48 seconds.

Waimea Old Boys 2011

Close, but no cigar

www.wobrfc.co.nz

End of season for division one side after loss to Marist

Teresa Hattan It would’ve been the upset of the season.

Just scraping through to make it into the semi finals the previous week, Stables Waimea Old Boys were five minutes away from making it through to the finals.

But a try to green machines Wakatu Hotel Marist in the dying minutes of the game saw the axe fall on their parade.

Scoring the team’s last try with only

minutes remaining on the clock, Phil Gibson would’ve thought he had the deal sold, but Marist responded with a try of their own and hit the nail into the coffin with a successful conversion, with Waimea’s chances ending in heartbreak.

The Marist side, who have only lost one game all season and have been unbeaten throughout the last two rounds, will now move on to play Galbraith Nelson after they beat

Stoke 44-6 at Neale Park.

Waimea Old Boys division one coach Mark Milne says his side had their chances and the game was pretty even despite falling behind midway through the second half 19-9.

“We came back with two tries and with around four or five minutes remaining we were ahead 23-19.”

Mark says the coaching team were pretty rapted with how the boys HARD KNOCK: Kieran Williams goes in for the hard played. tackle.

“They did most things we wanted to do, but a couple of mistakes cost us at the end of the day.”

Despite this, Mark believes the team played well together and Andrew Lethan had a good first half, putting the much needed points on the board.

Captain Ben Coman came off the field injured just after the start of the second half, but the blokes off the bench performed well.

A tight, dominating scrum was a focal point of the game for Waimea.

“The forwards played bloody well too, they were outstanding,” says Mark.

The side is now “all done” for the season and is steering down the barrel of a rather long summer.

“Reflecting on our performance I think we’ll be pretty disappointed results-wise,” says Mark.

A few of the boys will now go on to higher honors after gaining professional contracts with the Tasman Makos.

“We’re hoping a few more might get signed in the next couple of weeks,” says Mark.

The Stables Waimea Old Boys thirds were the only other club team to play over the weekend, travelling to Motueka.

Player coach Marc Hunter says the

game was a tough one for the boys, as Motueka had a lot of their old players back, making them stronger than in previous games.

“We were down 17-0 at half time but came back with two quick tries, two conversions and a penalty.”

The squad were then winning 22-17, but just like the division one side, they let in a try in the dying minutes.

This was luckily unconverted, as had it gone over the win would have gone to Mot. Marc says the guys were disappointed with the loss, as they had targeted this game to win.

“But it was good we were able to come back after being down 17 down.”

The side is still unbeaten and at the top of the table however, and will be looking to remain there for the next eight games.

“We’re still aiming to take the division three title, but there are still six round robin games to go.

“We’ll be putting together our top team now, because we have a big squad we’ve been giving everyone a go up until now.”

The thirds aren’t playing this weekend so the remaining divisions have a chance to catch up due to last week’s cancelations and will then be taking on Marist.

Gender no barrier for football team The region’s rising female footballers are so good they are taking on the boys, and winning.

The Nelson Suburbs Blue Crew is an all girl football team competing in the Robbie’s Bar & Bistro NBF under-17 Red Division, against all boys teams, in order to develop further as players.

Every corner of the Nelson secondary school system is represented in the team with members also competing for their college on Sundays in the Women’s Top of the South League. Nelson College for Girls and Waimea College form the bulk of the squad with five players each in the selection, Nelson Suburbs contributes two with one each from the Nayland College and Garin College first XIs. When the girls pushed the idea of the team to coach Cary Hamson and his wife Sandy, the pair were so keen, they wondered why it hadn’t happened earlier.

“It’s a fantastic idea. We should have done this years ago,” says team manager Sandy.

Cary and Sandy were joined by Simon Gordon in the coaching staff and the side aligned with Nelson Suburbs for its debut season. The girls admit every other team in the grade underestimates their talents, despite playing in women’s age-grade representative sides. “They think this is going to be easy. They say sorry when they knock us over,” says Megan Hodgson, 18.

But Sandy reckons the girls get accused of being the more pushy ones on the field.

“The guys go in pretty hard, they realize pretty soon that they’re up for it.”

They have won a couple of games and drawn one. But the primary focus for the side is developing a sharper, more physical game. “We’ve watched them grow in to really good footballers. When they go back to play in the rep stuff, they’re on their game, they are quicker, they are stronger.”

THESE GIRLS MEAN BUSINESS: The Nelson Suburbs Blue Crew are from left; Cary Hamson, Chiara Lowe, Anna Hodgson, Casey Hamson, Maryann Cant, Juliana Loss, Kaisa Tsuruta, Nicola Britten, Nicole Weir, Ellie Kershaw, Charlotte Gordon, Megan Hodgson, Lacey Pope, Lucy Harwood, Lara Malcolm, Simon Gordon and Sandy Hamson.

With both Richmond School rippa rugby teams qualifying for the regional tournament, and both making the semi finals, they were bound to come across each other sooner rather than later.

However, the Richmond School Tigers will now be attending the Rippa World Cup held in Auckland in August.

The two-day tournament will see the Richmond School team represent a nation taking part in the actual Rugby World Cup. The students will also get the chance to visit the Sky Tower and Kelly Tarlton’s.

Round one a mud bath

The Top of the South VMX clubs Mainland series round one was held at Linkwater earlier this month on a very wet and muddy track, with plenty of rain greeting the riders.

The decision was made to race two rounds but after one round of racing too many bikes were finding the water too much for them.

Rob Selby continued his form from the Ray Anderson dominating the pre ‘75 and Vets races with a good display of mud riding.

The pre ‘86 race was won by Steve Lange with a battle for second between Rob Anglesey and Brent Daniel with Rob getting second spot.

In the open race Steve Lange again took the win with Frank Burns second and another battle between Brent and Rob with a mad splash to the finish line with Brent getting third and covering Rob in mud in the process.

Some hardy riders went out for an all-in race.

There will now be lots of work for riders to get their bikes and gear clean for round two on July 17. For more information go to www.sportsground.co.nz/totsvmx.
