Budgeting blunders at Mapua The proceeds from the sale of one of Tasman District Council’s commercial forestry blocks could be used to pay for part of a $471,000 budget blowout on the poorly planned Mapua Wharf ’s Shed 4 development that included spending that was not authorised by council and a new revelation that some contracts were not put out for tender. A report to be presented to the full council meeting in Richmond on Thursday makes a number of recommendations to pay for the $471,000 budget overspend. That includes using the net proceeds from the sale of forestry land on Slippery Rd as it attempts to justify the extent of the budget blowout and the fact councillors did not approve the additional spending. Commercial manager Gene Cooper, corporate

Friends reunited after 60 years Jessie Johnston

A Facebook post and a tongue-incheek response recently reunited two childhood friends after more than 60 years. Richmond’s Judy Hill and South Australia’s Trish McAuliffe had lived just five minutes from each other in West London when they were children, but lost touch during their adult years with Judy moving to New Zealand and

Trish to Australia. Then in 2003 the pair was able to make contact again after using the website, Friends Reunited. They became friends on Facebook and when earlier this year Trish posted that she was looking for someone to look after the pets while her and her husband went on holiday, Judy jokingly offered up her services, despite last seeing Trish more than six decades ago. “I saw the request to look after her two

pets while they were away and I think I replied in a tongue-in-cheek way, being so far away and we hadn’t seen each other in 60 years,” says Judy. “I thought she would pick someone closer to home, but we decided it would be a great idea and a nice holiday.” So Judy and her husband Peter set off for Renmark, a small town on the

“People say we need more police here but I don’t know. I don’t want to knock the police - they do a good job.”

“I have never had any problems or dealing with police so I don’t really know if we have enough here or not.”

“I don’t think we have enough at present. The population is becoming larger, so on that basis we need more.”

factor in the overspend, says the report, including drainage issues that contributed to a $201,000 overspend on the construction of the Shed 4 building. Although much of the additional costs were approved at management level for work that was considered essential, the council did not approve of any of the extra spending. The chief executive can only authorise additional capital expenditure to approved budgets of up to $20,000. Another concern raised in the

Judy says she found Trish’s houseboat very different to their Richmond home. “I wouldn’t like it permanently but it was interesting to see how the other half live,” says Judy. “There were little motorboats that would come whizzing along, going faster than they should, and the dog would start barking at every boat that went past.” Once the McAuliffe’s returned from their holiday, Trish and Judy were finally able to have their long awaited catch-up. Trish says a holiday to Nelson is now on the cards.

Richmond police numbers to double

Call me for your free appraisal!

Simon Bloomberg

Richmond police station is getting seven more staff to “bring community ownership back into policing”, following a review of staffing levels across the Nelson-Tasman region. The review followed concerns from staff that police had become too centralised in Nelson and that numbers of staff based in the regions were too low. Nelson Bays police area commander Mat Arnold-Kelly says they have listened to those concerns and implemented a new prevention team staffing model that “brings community ownership back into policing”. “The staff have resoundingly said to us that we need to be looking at increasing the resource in Richmond to ensure that there will always be someone locally based here,” Mat says. “That was about building local knowledge and providing us with more community ownership.” Mat says the new staffing model has been operating in Motueka for about a month and has received “great feedback from the staff and the commu-

Mat says Richmond had eight constabulary staff and that has already been increased by two and will increase by another five by July 20. Mat says the new staffing model will ensure there is always someone with extensive knowledge of Richmond based at the station. Police will also be able to deploy staff from Nelson to Richmond on a shift by shift or as needed basis. “In the past, if the Richmond community constable went on leave, the stuff he was working on was often left. If they are part of a team that is responsible for Richmond, you will still have staff who are identified

with Richmond and can pick up that work.” Mat says Nelson Bays Area is presently under-staffed due to retirements and staff leaving and that was causing “some pain”. However, staff numbers will soon be boosted by new recruits who start arriving next week. “We have one new recruit arriving next week and another seven arriving at the end of July and start of August,” Mat says. “There will be another two in October and another nine in December.” Nelson Bays Area police has 132 positions included nonsworn staff.

Historic plaque brings back memories Simon Bloomberg

and AC1 John Davies, died from hypothermia following the crash and the plaque with their names will be unveiled as part of the New Zealand Underwater Club’s annual general meeting in Nelson on Saturday. The plaque has been mounted at the base of a propeller that was salvaged from the bomber by some of the club’s divers in 1975. Although that was over 30 years ago, one of the club’s veteran divers, Ross McDonald, 86, says it seemed like yesterday. “The commercial fishermen got hold of us because it was right in the middle of a good trawling spot,” Ross says. “When we went down it was covered in nets and rubbish and wires, and all sorts of stuff from trawlers. “The aircraft was upside down, and the starboard engine had come off and was in front of the plane.

It was really murky - you could only see a couple of feet so it was quite eerie.” Ross says they placed the salvaged engine in a fresh water spring near Lansdowne Rd for five years to flush out all the salt water before taking it to their clubrooms. It was mounted outside the clubroooms in 2006 when it was finally returned to the club by police after “being stolen, and brought and sold, two or three times.” However, the salvage of the Hudson Bomber was just one of many historic dives Ross has been involved in during a life-time as a commercial diver. He was a member of salvage teams on the Mikhail Lermotov and Jody F Millennium, and worked on the Cook Strait Cable - he completed his last commercial salvage with club member Eric Simmons on a fishing boat in Port Nelson late last year. “I started hose-diving on the Arapuni Dam in 1948 and then worked in search and rescue when I joined the airforce in 1950.

We started the Marlborough Underwater Club when I was based at Woodbourne in 1957 and then I helped start the Nelson Underwater Club when I moved over here in 1958. “One of our favourite dives back in the early days was the Pupu Springs. We’d drive right up to the spring and there’d be cows grazing all around the edge of the water.” Eric says Ross is a living legend who has dived all over the world. Ross was also the first diver to go into the Riwaka Resurgence, taking candles to light in Agee jars once he was in the caves, Eric says. “He’s dived with Kelly Tarlton and Wade Doak and all those guys, “ Eric says. “He’s a bit of a legend around here.” Ross says he is looking forward to Saturday’s plaque unveiling that will be attended by officials from the Royal New Zealand Air Force. The annual general meeting will also feature a function on Saturday night and a dive off Tonga Island on Sunday.

“EVERYONE KNOWS MY MOLLY.”

“I really am so happy here.”

When Bev found out she was able to bring her mini schnauzer Molly to her Summerset retirement village, she was thrilled. “Molly is very important to me, I wouldn’t have wanted to make the move without her.” After being at Summerset for only a few months, Bev was surprised at how quickly she settled into village life. She really likes the feeling that she’s secure and that help is always at hand should she need it. She says that living at Summerset has given her a great sense of relief, “Now I can relax.”

The trust had been canvassing consumers about changing its Trust Deed, but resolved to withdraw the proposal because it failed to get unanimous support from trustees. Terry Kreft, who is the industry-appointed trustee nominated by the three largest consumers, was not willing to support the change because he was concerned the move lacked transparency and could result in consumers paying more for their power. Chair of the Network Tasman Trust, Gwenny Davis, says she is "naturally disappointed" with this decision. "I believe it will leave the company in a difficult position in the years to come as it tries to maintain the value of a wiresand-poles network challenged by new technologies, whose impact on line companies is growing exponentially."

Wearable rubbish ‘astounding’ Simon Bloomberg The imagination and creativity of Garin College students went on display again last week when the school held its annual Mahi Toi Festival. There was also a fair bit of planning and scrounging involved, especially for the students who entered the Recyclable Art that is Wearable competition or RAW. The competition is one of the highlights of Te Wairoa o nga Mahi Toi, which means the spirit of creation in the arts, and was held at the college last Thursday and Friday. Entries included outfits made from old 45 records, fallen oak leaves, a rubbish bin full of rubbish, milk bottle tops and old lolly packets. The winners will be announced when the top 14 entries are paraded again at the Showcase Mahi Toi Concert at the Hope Community Hall on July 6 and 7. Student Kate Lightowlers, who collected 547 milk bottle tops for her stunning garment titled Topical, says she started collecting tops after last year’s Mahi Toi, “I ended up having 547 bottle tops to incorporate in my dress. The fake flowers were collected over years of holidays in Hawaii and on board cruise ships. “The top is made entirely of fake flowers glued together to create its own fabric. The base of the dress is a mosquito bed net and each bottle top is interwoven into the netting with fishing wire.” Tia Coutts used an old 45 record collection for her Loopy Music item while Luke MacDonald used “clean rubbish” and a rubbish bin for his Boy in a Bin entry. Morgen Nimmo and Laura Coulton had collected around 100 sweet packets “since year 9” at a cost of $400 to make a “pricey-looking suit” for their Suities item. “It’s always very competitive and varied with some very creative entries,” Garin’s arts coordinator Lindsey Furlong-Taylor says. “Some of these students take it so seriously they have been collecting items for their outfits all year.” Lindsey says students also participated in eight workshops during Mahi Toi that included making claymation videos and another making waka ama paddles inscribed with Maori patterns and decorations. A Cultural Diversity Banner workshop was mainly designed for the international students who created individually-designed stencils related to their culture and then printed them onto a black cloth banner. Lindsey says they are lucky to have the WOW wardrobe team of Leonie Trathen and Deb Price judging the RAW competition again this year because it “certainly raised the profile” of the show. She’d also praised the college’s art captains, Zarek Wentzell and Ellie McDonald, who “seemed to have limitless energy and enthusiasm working extremely hard as an effective team to make Mahi Toi 2016 innovative and engaging.” The Showcase Mahi Toi Concert will be held at Hope Community Church. on Wednesday July 6 and Thursday July 7 starting at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased from the Garin College office for $7 for adults and $5 for children.

This is what my clients have said... “The speed in which you progressed the marketing of our home and lined up potential buyers was amazing. A number of neighbours remarked how fast the process had been. The speed you followed up on the contracts was excellent, keeping us fully informed and relatively stress free.”

Bryant & Sue

“It was in all aspects an exceptional selling experience throughout taking only a short time to secure a contract. Within days Anthony had also found us a new home and went out of his way in negotiations to bring our purchase to a prompt and successful conclusion.”

Allan and Christine

“His closing and negotiating skills are to be highly recommended and he always focused on achieving the best sale price. It was always a pleasure communicating with him during the process and I would highly recommend him to market your home.”

Websters given stay from deportation Steve and Gail Webster’s immigration lifeline arrived in an email and it triggered a day of good fortune that helped them “feel normal again”. Waimea Weekly reported on the Websters immigration fight last month. They were told they had to be out of the country by midnight on Friday May 20. Their immigration enforcement officer had been in touch, Steve had cleared out his desk at work and their daughter had been told by her school that they couldn’t continue to teach her after that date. But just 48 hours before that deadline, Steve received an email at midnight on Wednesday saying they had been given a 12-month essential skills work visa, which gives them time to reapply for their business visa. Steve says the email was a “weight off our shoulders”. “The stress just left us and we were just drained. We’d had it hanging over us for so long it didn’t feel real. Until we got the passports it didn’t feel real.” Less than 24 hours after the midnight email, the Websters’ daughter Becky passed her driving test, Steve sold two cars at his work, Bowater

Toyota, and the flower business they own was buzzing. Steve says it was one of the best days he’s experienced. “It was such a great day. We went to the Honest Lawyer for dinner to celebrate and had a bottle of bubbly, my boss Tony Bowater also gave me a bottle of bubbly. It was just one of those days.” The couple own Earthbloom Flowerstore and say they feel confident that a fresh application will pass the standards set by Immigration New Zealand. The 12-month visa gives them time to submit that application. “We plan to make ourselves so wonderful they won’t be able to turn us down,” says Steve. They say the support they received from Nelsonians after the initial article was of huge comfort for them. “People have been fantastic, going out of their way to come in and talk to us, it’s been really lovely and it reinforces the reason we came here in the first place. It’s such a lovely place to live and we just want the opportunity to stay.” Steve says the family has a spring in its step again. “We feel like the sun has come out for us. We’re moving house, it feels like a fresh start.”

WINNERS: Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tuia Te Matangi students, from left, Ebony Alleyne, Elizabeth Lucas and Sonaia Beard with the trophies they won at the annual regional Manu Kōrero competition. They have now qualified for the national finals in Whangarei in September. Photo: Simon Bloomberg.

Ebony Alleyne Richmond’s Maori immersion school, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tuia Te Matangi, once again won the trophy for best overall school at the annual regional Manu Kōrero competition. Manu Kōrero is a secondary school’s speech competition that can be delivered in either English or Te Reo Māori. The regional finals were held at Nelson College on June 9 with the winners qualifying for the national finals in Whangarei in September. It was the fourth year Tuia Te Matangi competed in the regional finals since the school opened in 2012. It was also the third time that the school has won three out of four sections and the trophy for the best overall school. Puawaireti Matiu, aged 17, stood in the Pei te Hurinui Jones section where her topic was Me mate te tikanga e ora ai te tikanga or do away with old traditions, so we can create new traditions. She placed first in the senior Māori prepared speech, impromptu speech and won top female speaker and senior Māori aggregate overall. Ebony Alleyne, 16, was second in the Korimako, senior English section and although she received a high score, Nelson College’s Daedae de Thierry delivered a charismatic and thought -capturing speech to win. Junior Māori - Ta Rawhiti Ihaka section was won by Sonaia Beard, 13, who stood this year for the first time. She spoke with conviction and delivered a beautiful, strong speech in Te Reo Māori on her topic of Homai he ra or Give me a day. Elizabeth Lucas, also aged 13, who stood in the Ngā Manu Kōrero competitions for the first time, delivered a convincing and entertaining speech titled, Don’t be afraid to do something different to win the Junior English - Ta Turi Carroll section.

Opinion

Your Voice Well done to planters: I rode along the Great Taste Trail yesterday and was delighted to meet a large group of school kids with a few adults planting trees along the Wairoa River at Brightwater just along from the swing bridge. It was drizzly and they had biked there also but they were laughing and obviously enjoying themselves. I should’ve taken a photo then but I did on my way back about four hours later and what a fantastic job they did. It was so pleasing to see these kids involved with beautifying our trail and congrats to the teachers for not postponing it due to it being wet. Well done guys and girls. Margie Silich, Brightwater. George Bennett to ride in Tour de France: I hope he does the whole tour. I will be there waving the kiwi flag. Kerry Toms. Oh George, I have driven up Mont Ventoux. I can’t imagine riding up. You are a machine! Imogen McCarthy. Great to see home-grown talent on the big stage. We will be following you George, love from the Washbourn Drive Clan. Debra Gibbs. Salisbury School to close: This school will be sadly missed in Nelson and also by girls New Zealand-wide. It is definitely the wrong

So, if the Minister says it is not true that she has been trying to close the school since 2012, why has her Ministry capped their entry numbers, down from 80 students to 20? Why has her Ministry-appointed IWS Board refused entry time and time again to those parents who have requested their daughters be given access to Salisbury? Why has her Ministry gone ahead with making Haswell a co-ed facility, even after the court ruling that this placed young women, made incredibly vulnerable by their special challenges, in extreme danger? Why then has her Ministry-appointed IWS Board not put forward Salisbury as an option to those families with children who need 24/7 wrap-around care by highly qualified teachers and carers, which is exactly what Salisbury delivers? This is a serious mistake and, if it is allowed to go ahead, will be detrimental to a substantial group of high-needs young women and their families. Tracey Martin. Hekia Parata finally got her way after her earlier decision was overturned. She is a poor loser and ruthless to go with it. Brian McIntyre. So disappointed to read of the closing of Salisbury School. It has been operating for many years and has played a major part in helping so many young people. This goes hand in

hand with this Govt’s policy of closing mental institutions and half-way houses. If you need help, well, too bad. Lorraine O’Donoghue. I worked there for 13 years and saw the life-changing work this wonderful place did. It was way ahead of its time and I am sure it continued that way. Another uncaring blow against the weakest in society. Lena Harrison. Car crash at Hope intersection: About time this corner was taken into a “high crash” intersection and a lower speed limit. Danielle Maree Limmer. Actually, people just need to learn how to judge distance properly and make safe decisions about when it is right to turn onto the straight. Nikki Gibbs. My grandparents lived on that corner for over 35 years, that was 15 years ago. They often had victims (obviously the ones who didn’t die) of collisions coming in to use the telephone to ring for an ambulance. That’s back when our telephone numbers were only four digits long. There’s an awfully long history of accidents at this intersection. Marie Aubie.

Book quiz biggest yet

Simon Bloomberg

The appropriately named Brightwater Bookworms are the new Tasman district primary school book quiz champions after scoring a perfect 10 in three of the four rounds at the annual competition at the Richmond Library. Brightwater joined four-person teams from 10 other schools at last Thursday’s quiz which featured questions on the newly published New Zealand books The Ghosts of Tarawera by Sue Copsey and How I Alienated My Grandma by Suzanne Main. Pupils also answered questions on the potions and concoctions in four Roald Dahl books as well as general knowledge from well known children’s books. Children and Young Adults Librarian Lucy Brunwin says it was the fifth and biggest book quiz with 44 children who all dressed up in book-themed costumes. It was also one of the highest scoring quizzes with a number of teams scoring nine out of 10 or 10 out of 10 in one of more rounds. And that was a significant achievement with tricky questions like What did Mr Worm-

The respective answers, of course, are sawdust and Dogzombies. Lucy says they chose Roald Dahl books for one round to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth this year. Tasman district mayor Richard Kempthorne obviously approved of the choice, reading

a few passages from Matilda to the children when he welcomed them to the library. Mapua’s Brilliantly Friendly Geniuses were second with the Richmond Raiders third. The Wakefield Oompa Loompas won the awards for the Best Dressed Team. The Appleby Professors, Henley Wonkers, Hope Bookworms, Lake Rotoiti Book Frenzy Group, Mahana Ninjas, Ranzau Oompa Loompas and St Paul’s Einstein Readers also competed in the quiz.

Everyone is now aware of the Queen St infrastructure project aimed at replacing the ageing underground stormwater system. As part of this project, Queen St will be extensively upgraded, including the lowering of the road surface with a smooth transition between shop-front and shop-front. The look of Queen St will also change dramatically, becoming a more pedestrian-friendly environment. There has been extensive and ongoing consultation between the Tasman District Council, Richmond Unlimited and the business community on how this project will be undertaken.

Baby&Mobility HIRE

Greg Waddington and his wife Deborah have owned Cartridge World Nelson for 11 years and last year won Franchise of the Year Whether your printing needs are commercial grade or you have a home printer that sees minimal use, Cartridge World Richmond and Nelson has everything you need to achieve a perfect print job every time. Greg and Deborah Waddington took over the Nelson store 11 years ago before establishing a second business in Richmond in 2008. “Funnily enough the day we opened Richmond we were in such a mad rush that it wasn’t until a couple of days later that we actually realised it was the exact anniversary we’d taken over Nelson,” says Deborah. It was Greg’s expertise in computers, printers and all other related technology that made them the perfect pair to take on a business within the franchise, as well as their commitment to providing their customers with sound advice on all things printing. Deborah says their secret to 11 successful years in business is all down to customer service. “We

really pride ourselves on our customer service, it’s out first goal and we always say to staff when we’re training them that its customers service that counts for everything, plus, we know all the ins and outs about our products because that’s what we do. Cartridge World is all about printers, ink, toner and paper and we know how many pages per printer per ink or toner you’re going to get.” Whether you choose to go to Cartridge World Richmond or Nelson, the customer service is exactly the same and when you’re looking for a printer for the home or office, the team will listen to exact requirements before helping you select the perfect tool for the job. “A lot of people will come in and say “it’s a $49 printer, let’s buy that one,” but what they don’t realise is they’re actually going to go through ten times more cartridges buying that one than the $100 one, because the $100 one does more of what they need, so in the long run they’ll save money. We always try and guide people in the right direction to buy the right printer for what they’re doing,” says Deborah. As well as stocking a printer for every budget and requirement, Cartridge World Richmond and Nelson also looks after people’s paper needs, from A4 or A5, through to photographic paper and eftpos and till rolls for businesses, but the core of their business has always been ink and toner. The team stocks both genuine ink and toner, which is

The team is also proud to offer a refill service making it easy for anyone to turn in their empty printer cartridges and get a high quality Cartridge World replacement, which has a 100 per cent guarantee should people not be happy with it’s performance. While some prefer to have their original cartridge refilled and returned, others are happy to hand in their empty black or colour ink and toner cartridge for one that has previously been refilled and thoroughly tested to ensure it will work properly with their printer. This option not only saves people money compared to buying a new one each time, it also has environmental benefits, reducing the amount of waste.

From the judges perspective the business had achieved considerable growth, as well as general all round excellence, including the support they provide to the rest of the Cartridge World group around New Zealand with Greg being part of the Cartridge World Franchise Advisory Council. From Greg and Deborah’s perspective, it’s meant looking after their business customers as well as the public to en-

sure people come back to them for all their printing needs. With 38 stores around New Zealand competing for the award, Deborah says it’s not exactly easy to come by, although they have won it in previous years for their Richmond store.

Hello Everyone, The good news is that Tasman District Council has recently announced that they are going to upgrade and seal the carpark behind the shops on Ellis Street by the end of this year. The project will also include improved drainage. We have been awaiting this work for a number of years and it will mean we can now make further progress on developing the Village Green. The bad news is that burglars and vandals are still out and about in the district. Recently some ‘ne’er do wells’ decided to burn the flag and rope on the flagpole in front of the Public Hall. If you see anything, or know who these vandals are then please ring the Nelson police station or Crimestoppers 0800 555 111. At our forthcoming meeting on Monday 4 July we will have TDC coming along to update us on the new solid waste disposal plan with Nelson City. The venue is the staffroom at Brightwater School, Ellis St, Brightwater, at 7.30pm. It is also going to be our Annual General Meeting with the election of officers and committee. We would like people in the local community to come along and help us plan the future of the Village Green and other projects that are on our wish list or already in the pipeline. Your thoughts would be most welcome. Andy McQueen Chairperson Brightwater Community Council

The St Clair Crazies -Wanderers Women’s Circuit Class members were enthusiastic entrants in the St Clair Vineyard Half Marathon. Pictured are Lorna, Alice, Melanie, Sarah, Janita, Kirsten, Chantelle, Shaylee, and Hayley.

Wanderers Taylors Community Gym

Our gym has become an integral part of the Brightwater community, not just providing fitness facilities right here in town, but the camaraderie and opportunity for friendships are incredible. Providing the opportunity to meet new people and to be part of the community was one of the major reasons that the gym was started and it is great to see the results. Check out this story from the Women’s Circuit Classes coordinator: Initially the whole idea behind setting up Women’s circuit classes was to give mums the chance to get back into shape as cheaply as possible, however all our expectations have been well

exceeded in so many ways. Firstly, there has been a fantastic response to classes. We currently have eight classes a week, all at varying times. Secondly, these classes are providing women in our local community the chance to build friendships and make connections they possibly wouldn’t have otherwise made. And lastly, the physical results we are all getting from these classes have been outstanding. This has resulted in people being confident in what they are capable of, and us ‘ordinary’ mums are out there doing ‘extraordinary’ things, competing in events from mountain biking to swimming,

walking, to a large group entering their first half marathon recently. The achievements these women are making are endless! I would like to thank Taylors Community Gym, Di Drogemuller, Claire Dallison and Yvette Grant for their encouragement, willingness and enthusiasm towards establishing the circuit classes, and to Jesse Pitman and Sammy Gibbens who train and are the driving force behind all of the classes! Note: We have a Men’s class running on Saturday mornings 7.30-8.30am. If anyone is keen to join any of these classes or find out more info, you can email kirstenpowick@clear.net.nz

Message from Neighbourhood Support Waimea Marty Price, Waimea Coordinator There are still several burglaries going on in the region but I suppose the main thing for now is theft from cars that are still being left unlocked by owners. If your car is in your driveway then please make sure to secure it and remove all valuables from sight. As you are aware there have been sev-

eral cars stolen and burnt out lately. My message is if you see something suspicious, please call the Police. Not enough of the community are calling the Police at the time offending happens. I still come across community members who feel they are wasting Police time,. This is their job and they are

keen for the community to ring. If offending is happening at the time, then ring 111. If we work together then we can apprehend these offenders.

It’s been a full on year in business for Phil Hazeldine after setting up his restaurant Phil’s Place within Club Waimea. While the success of the restaurant is, in part, due to Phil’s great skills in the kitchen, he also wishes to thank Club Waimea members for their loyal support throughout the year. Phil and his team have also had more than their fair share of mid-winter functions and are now gearing up for a busy summer with plenty of Christmas parties already filling up the diary. It’s the perfect set up with Club Waimea providing the facilities, while Phil consults with clients on the catering options that best suits their event, from platters and finger food for morning and afternoon tea, to full on buffets and set menus. With Club Waimea’s main hall accommodating over 200 people, plus two meeting rooms, one holding 30 people and one seating around 60, Phil has been kept busy meeting the needs of groups celebrating weddings and wedding anniversary’s and remembering loved ones during funeral services, as well as catering to corporate and business conferences and workshops. In addition to having a room to meet the needs of most private groups, Phil encourages people who are using Club Waimea as a venue to make the most of their other facilities before sitting down to their meal including darts, pool, snooker and bowls. Phil also owns Nelson Wedding Catering, which he operates out of Club Waimea and throughout the past year it has continued to work in harmony with Phil’s Place. With a team of dedicated food

WEDNESDAY 29 June 2016

Just a thought... The shortest day has come and gone, and we have turned the corner and are heading back into summer. It will get colder, and the balmy days of January and February are still only a promise ahead. Winter has truly begun. Winter is a time of drawing in - a season when we can be less active and more reflective and introspective. It is a good time for reading, for slowing down and taking stock of our lives. We may

be able to recharge our batteries and make plans for next summer as we lie fallow. Every year has its seasons, which cycle rhythmically. Living in the Nelson region I think that we are fortunate in that we do have four distinct seasons. Although the summer is my favourite season, with its heat and long daylight hours of seemingly endless sunshine, I have come to appreciate the other seasons in their own right.

Clear frosty mornings followed by crisp sunny days in winter, the fresh gentle greening of spring with daffodils and blossom, mellow autumn days with crunchy red leaves underfoot – each season is a reminder of how all things must pass, that nothing is permanent. All things must pass, nothing remains the same. Yes, usually, but not everything. One thing that remains unchanging is the love of Christ for all of us. One of the accounts of Jesus’ life and teachings ends with his promise “And I will be with you always, to the end of

the age” (The Gospel of Matthew, nothing can separate us from his 28:20). Jesus said this to his dis- love, neither death, nor life… there is nothing in all ciples as he sent them creation that will ever be out to teach others able to separate us from about God’s mercy and the love of God which is love, and how to live ours through Christ Jesus accordingly. The word our Lord” (Paul’s Letter to “gospel” means “good the Romans, 8:35, 38, 39). news” and this is good Paul included in his mennews indeed. tion of “nothing” eveAnother unchanging Merrick rything known and unpart of our faith was Mitchell written by that great Lay Pastoral derstood in their society apostle and follower Leader, Rich- at that time. “Nothing” of Jesus, Saint Paul: mond Catho- really means what it says “Not-any-thing”! “Who, then, can sepalic Church Blessings and peace as the rate us from the love of Christ?

In honour of America’s Independence Day holiday on July 4, Nelson City Rod and Custom Club are holding their annual celebration cruise this Sunday. Leaving from Club Waimea at 11am following the Petrolhead breakfast, the one hour run will head to Upper Moutere before finishing at the Brightwater Motor Inn. President of the club Dave Verry says last year the event attracted 72 cars, and they are hoping for another good turnout this year. He says that members of the public wanting to check out the cars can do so in Brightwater from 12.30pm. Entry on the day is $5 per person, with all proceeds going to the Nelson Rescue Helicopter Trust.

to win it was amazing. Paul says captain Chester Gaskin was an important player in his team maintaining focus at crucial points of the game while Year 10 player Josh Creswell showed maturity beyond his years. “I know I’ve singled out a few players there but they all played great and the spirit in which they played the game was right up there.” “Paul says he is hoping Waimea may receive a wild card to enter the top national secondary schools’ football competition in Tauranga later this year. The team will have to defend the trophy at their last game of any national tournament they end up playing. “I’m hoping, now that we have this trophy, they will want it to be at their biggest tournament. “For now, we’ll just enjoy the moment.”

Jacks Ale House proved too strong for Nayland College B 31-19 in the senior 4 netball match at Saxton Stadium on Saturday. Jacks Ale House were faster and more accurate in the mid-court from the opening whistle and dominated offensive rebounds. Jacks earned a 10-4 first quarter advantage which they never relinquished. Nayland appeared to have two shooters in Maggie Riley and Toni Dunn who could be accurate from distance, but their team-mates did not treasure possession in the opening quarter. Nayland's passing was initially loopy and proved easy to pick off for the Jacks Ale House defenders. The second and third quarters saw the schoolgirls settle into their rhythm more and they were able to apply more defensive pressure and go goal-for-goal with Jacks for most of that period. Jacks Ale House wing attack Jess Young had a strong game, while goal attack and captain Jane Daubney formed a good rebounding combination with goal shoot Louise Weallens. Jacks Ale House scored three unanswered goals in the final minute of the third quarter to give them a

Waimea College First XI football team earned the Alex Harvey Industries Trophy for the first time in its history with a 1-0 win over Marlborough Boys’ College last Tuesday.

Logan de Joux scored the game’s winner 10 minutes after halftime. Coach Paul Cousins was delighted with the achievement. “It’s massive for the boys to achieve this,” he says. “They worked hard together and they defended so well. “Nelson College did us a huge favour by getting it to these parts but

George Bennett earns Tour de France call-up Jacob Page Nelson cyclist George Bennett will ride in the Tour de France for the first time next month. The 26-year-old will be one of nine Team LottoNLJumbo riders to compete in the most renowned road race in the world. Former Village Cycles owner Jim Matthews, who gave George a job after school at the shop, says he and his family were over the moon at the news of his selection. “We’re just so happy for him,” Jim says. “He’s got some really good results in the lead up tours, so he’s been knocking on that door and he’s become race hardened. “When he gets up in the hills, he’ll be in his element.” Jim says he knew George

had the work ethic to make it as a top level athlete. “He was a mad keen rugby player and one of his coaches used to say he was tenacious, but the thing that always let him down was his lack of size. “I knew once he found a sport that suited him, he’d go a long way. Jim says George’s selection is bigger than the Olympics in many respects. “This is the race everyone

wants to be in,” he says. “When he worked here, he was a hard case. He’d come home from a long overseas trip, a long flight, but make sure he always popped into the shop to say hi to the guys.” Coach and mentor Robin Reid, who’s had a 10-year association with George, says he was immensely proud of the achievement. “He’s such a gutsy rider, always has been,” Robin

says. “This is the pinnacle event of road cycling, so for him to make it is such an achievement. “I remember he was on our team for the Tour of Southland when he was young and he broke his wrist on one of the earlier stages and had to get it put in a cast. “He didn’t pull out of the race, he just raced on.” Robin says George has an

excellent power-to-weight ratio which will serve him well in the mountains. “He’s mentally tough, but the biggest challenge of that will be in the next few weeks when he enters those hills. “A lot of really good international riders spend their whole careers trying to make it into this race and never do, so what [George] has achieved is incredible.” Friend, and a regular

rider with George, Chris Sharland says he’s always one who enjoys coming home to Nelson. “He’s a really relaxed guy and always quick with the banter out on the road.” George improved his chances of selection when he was the only Team LottoNL-Jumbo rider able to finish in the first group during the third stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné on June 9. It was during that event that Chris texted him with words of encouragement. “I sent him a text and said I was really proud of the way he was riding and that I thought he deserved to ride in the tour, so hearing the news was great.” Takaka’s Jack Bauer competed in the Tour de France in 2014 and 2015.

Greenacres golfer Ryan Chisnall found putting practice a little difficult to do on Friday at his home golf course, after he was named in the New Zealand team to contest the Eisenhower Trophy in September. The 21-year-old took just as many congratulatory handshakes as he did practice putts. “This is a big deal for the club and all the guys over the years have just been fantastic to me, so it’s nice to share this moment with them," he says. “It’s always been a dream, it’s the biggest thing you can do as an amateur and it’s definitely been on my radar, and for the last year it’s pretty much been my single focus.” Ryan will continue to work at his family’s Elmside Estate Vineyards 20 hours a week while devoting the remainder of his time to golf. He played in the Mexico International Amateur Event a fortnight ago, which was paid for thanks to an invite to the event, but he largely funds his Charles Tour campaign in the Kiwi summer out of his own pocket. “I’m on GrabaSeat like everyone else, booking the cheap fares.” Ryan was introduced to golf by his dad and earned a handicap by age seven when he played out at the nine hole Totaradale Golf Course, before he moved to Greenacres 10 years ago. Ryan says former teammates Sean and Blair Riordan were big influences. “Those guys were a bit older but were in the same positions I’ve found myself in trying to make improvements. I learnt

New Zealand Golf and forced me to do things on my own. "I started getting some results and I got my way back in and I’ve appreciated it ever since.” Ryan says he was excited about turning pro early next year but was under no illusions about how tough it would be. He says he will aim to play in China and Australia. “They aren’t big tours but they offer me the chance to play every week," he says. “The ultimate goal is to play in major tournaments and on the PGA Tour. Just to play an event on that tour would be great. “Having said all of that, there are other tours that you can play regularly and still make good money. Playing a prestigious event will be the pinnacle of a career that still has plenty of potential."

a lot travelling with them, competing against them and playing with them.” Ryan will be joined in the team by Auckland’s Nick Voke and Waikato’s Luke Toomey. New Zealand won the Eisenhower Trophy in 1992 with the team of Michael Campbell, Phil Tataurangi, Stephen Scahill and Grant Moorhead. The biennial tournament has been active since 1958. Ryan says he had questioned whether he would make it when he was 18. “I wasn’t putting the time in preparing for tournaments and it started to show. I’d been in the New Zealand Golf junior set-up since I was 14, but I had a year when I was 18 and 19 where I was dropped from the squad. “Looking back, it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me because it got me out of that safe environment of

Waimea Div 2 make semifinal claim Jacob Page Waimea Old Boys division two rugby team is up to second in the Nelson competition after a 21-13 win over Wanderers at Brightwater on Saturday. The result goes a long way to securing a semi-final spot but a win at home against Huia this week would put them in a commanding position. Waimea always looked like the better of the two teams, but Wanderers were looking to stay in touch with the top four and so had plenty to play for. Waimea Old Boys coach Wayne Bateman says while the set piece was strength in the win he felt it

was the X-factor in his back line which made the difference. “I thought we made a number of good breaks in attack but we took the tackle or didn’t have anyone on the shoulder waiting for the pass,” he says. Wayne admitted he felt his team should have scored more points but a win keeps momentum building ahead of the semi finals. Second-five eighth Francis Fatu scored an important try and was a constant threat with ball in hand. Hetadaka Heitia also kicked a conversion and three penalties. An intercept try by Zac Weatherly ensured Waimea controlled the game down to the final whistle against their staunch rivals.

Positives were there for Waimea Old Boys despite a 36-10 defeat to Wanderers at Brightwater on Saturday. Steve Ng’s second half try was the first they had scored in three matches, just reward for more attacking endeavour, according to Waimea cocoach Mark Milne. “I thought we deserved more reward on the scoreboard,” he says. “We tried to do more with the ball when we had it, we were more positive.” The reality is though, that the senior team is struggling for playing numbers in a rebuilding year. “We have guys playing out of position and in some cases guys playing in the

backs who are actually forwards. “The effort is there, I can’t fault that.” Number 8 Ben Eder’s work rate was unquestionable in tough conditions while Luca Roden impressed in the backs. Waimea are also looking forward to training this week, as their two sessions last week were curtailed by the poor weather, forcing Tasman District Council to close Jubilee Park. Waimea welcome Kahurangi to Jubilee Park on Saturday before they end the round-robin with a trip to face Stoke at Greenmeadows.
