Dam works under way The first stage in building the Waimea Community Dam has started. Work on the three-year project began in early March with site works to create access to its Lee Valley site. That was followed by the bury-
ing of a mauri stone, a mark of respect to Papatūānuku the earth mother and a blessing bestowed on the site and the structure that will be located there. The first phase is expected to take about six months. The second phase, which in-
cludes construction of the dam itself, is expected to take around 18 months, finishing in April 2021. In the final phase, the reservoir will fill naturally for several months, with the dam due for final commissioning in February 2022.
At last week’s council meeting councillors voted to receive the draft statement of intent by Waimea Water Limited, a joint venture between the council and Waimea Irrigators Limited. Waimea Water’s role is to manage the construction, operation and
maintenance of the dam, to the benefit of water users in the area. The statement says the project is well advanced, with site selection, design parameters and delivery partners all set.

Dam works under way FROM PAGE 1 Waimea Water is governed by a board of seven directors and it recently appointed Richmond resident Mike Scott as chief executive, although he does not start in the role until May 19. The dam, which is designed to have a lifespan of more than 100 years, will be a concrete face, rock-fill dam, about 53 metres high, 220m long and 6m wide at the crest, built from about 430,000 cubic metres of rock. The lake created by the dam will contain about 13 million cubic metres of water. The dam’s construction is expected to be finished by October 2021, followed by filling the reservoir and final commissioning by Feb-
ruary 2022. Waimea Water is required to remediate the land within the project footprint upon completion, the statement says, and deliver a number of carbon emissions offsetting projects within the region to compensate for trees removed during construction. “WWL will ensure that rare plant species will be protected and transported within resource consent conditions.” The statement says the Tasman District is running out of water, and doing nothing about it is not an option. New Zealand receives an abundance of water each year, but uses only a very small percentage of it. “We need to be smarter about using it, so we can use
it when we need to. “A growing, resilient regional economy will offer future generations opportunities to stay in the region and raise their families with well-paying jobs and security. “The dam makes water available to meet related urban and rural water demand for at least the next 100 years and likely many more, and in doing so plays its part to help the Nelson Tasman region thrive.” The company will provide a six monthly presentation to council at the full council meeting on June 20. It will cover financial, administration and project activity and will provide an opportunity to cover off any issues arising with the project, not already identified.

Roadworks continue on Bateup Road, with delays pushing the project completion date well into May. Photo: Matt McCrorie
New delays to Bateup road project Matt McCrorie The construction on Bateup Road in Richmond, which was set to be finished in March, is facing ongoing delays. Work on the project began in August last year, and the project was originally meant to be completed in April, but fast progress towards the end of last year saw the completion date moved up to March. However, now residents and commuters will have to wait another two months before the road is fully useable, making the project 10 months in the making.
The completion date is now looking to be May 30, the council says. “There have been various factors that have contributed to the delay” community relations manager Chris Choat says. “There was some extra work for new subdivisions further up the hill that needed to be done in the next few years, so we thought we’d do that now rather than tear the road up again in a few years’ time” The drought and fire throughout the region over the last few months have also meant an unexpected delay. “A lot
of the mechanical equipment was taken away to be used to deal with the fires, and then that meant a machinery ban because of fire risk, so several different things have begun to add up.” The road is being widened to allow for a greater flow of traffic, adding a shared walkway/ cycleway, and replacing roadside drains with underground pipes, and installing several underground stormwater chambers. The work on the road is designed to help cater for the several new subdivisions going in around the area.

Student selected for prestigious astronomy school Matt McCrorie While his fellow students will spend the next few weeks looking down at their books to study, Joseph Rozga will be doing his studying looking up. The year 13 Waimea College student is one of 20 from around the country who have been selected to attend this years Elaine P Snowden Astronomy School in Canterbury for five days in April. The Elaine P. Snowden Astronomy School is a five-day event for year 13 students from around the country who are interested in studying Astronomy or Physics at university and is run by the University of Canterbury. The students get to spend time attending lectures at the University of Canterbury and will also get to visit the Mt John Observatory in Lake Tekapo. Joseph heard about the programme from one of his teachers, only the day before the applications were due. “It was a bit of a rush to get organised.” “I was in class when I found out, it was a bit of a shock.” Joseph is currently in his last year of school, and with deadlines for university applications looming, he sees the astronomy school as a good way for him to make his mind up. “I’m thinking about doing astrophysics or environmental science at university, so I’m hoping that this might help me make up my mind”
Bringing the bard back to life Matt McCrorie The University of Otago Sheliah Winn Shakespeare festival will take place this weekend at Waimea College, and students throughout the region are getting ready to tread the boards. Students from around the region will be showcasing their skills and bringing the bard back to life on Saturday, April 6, throughout the day, with students performing either a 5-minute scene or a 15-minute scene from any Shakespeare play, and it can be set in any time period and with whatever costume the students like. Students will be judged by a panel of experienced practitioners, including former Waimea College student and Wellington-based actor Dylan Hutton, who has previously travelled to London to perform Shakespeare at the Globe. The judges will select two scenes, one from the fiveminute category and one from the 15-minute, to perform at the national festival, held over Queen’s Birthday weekend in Wellington at the

Logging truck loses load A logging truck lost its load on State Highway 6 on Monday at around 8.30am. The truck lost its trailer and the trailer rolled between the Kawatiri Junction turn off and and Gowan Valley Road. There were no injuries reported, however the entire road had to be blocked off due to the logs being spread over the road. The road was reopened by 11.15am. It is thought that this accident took place in a similar area to where a truck that rolled several weeks earlier, as reported in the Waimea Weekly.

Fire recovery period over The recovery transition period that followed the State of Emergency put in place during the Pigeon Valley forest fires is officially over. As the fire is now fully controlled and all initial visits to private properties affected by the Pigeon Valley fire have been completed, the recovery team no longer need the powers given to them for transition to recovery, group recovery manager Richard Kirby says. The State of Emergency covering the MoutereWaimea Ward of Tasman District expired at 8am on February 27, moving into a local transition period for recovery. During the transition period the recovery manager had the powers to manage, co-ordinate, or direct recovery activities in the public interest, to ensure a timely and effective recovery. Those powers are no longer needed.

Nelson City Council’s works and infrastructure committee is recommending that the speed limit on the section of Waimea Road from 240 metres south of Market Road through to 200m north of the Beatson Road roundabout be lowered from 70km/h to 50km/h. If this recommendation is approved by council at its meeting on May 2, the lowered speed limit will come into effect four weeks after that date. There were 89 submissions received during public consultation on the proposal to lower the speed limit. Most submitters (66 per cent) supported lowering the speed limit, citing safety reasons.

Several street signs across Richmond are marked with a red poppy, in remembrance of fallen servicemen. Last year, the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I, the Tasman District Council installed new street signs to commemorate the fallen servicemen. One of these streets is Roeske st, in between Queen Street and William street in Richmond. The street is named for Corporal Charles William Roeske. Charles joined the 26 Battalion during World War II, and before he enlisted, he was a winch driver and worked on the family farm in Richmond. Helen Jackson, the niece of Charles Roeske, spoke about her uncle. “He was one of four siblings, and he was my mother’s twin brother” she said. “My family always mentioned his name, but as I child I never really knew who he was. I was born after he died, you see, it wasn’t until my adult life that I found out about him.” Pictured with Helen is her friend Brian Ramsay. Unknown to them until the pictured photo was discovered recently, “We discovered my uncle Charlie and Brian’s father Peter served together in the same battalion, and even had a photograph taken together. It was a complete coincidence.” Helen came across the photo recently and never knew of the connection between her uncle and Brian’s father. Helen’s father, Reginald Jackson, also served in the same battalion, and it was here that he met Charlie. “The two of them became friends and after the war, after Charlie had died, my father Reginald came to the family farm to tell Charlie’s family about what had happened, and it was there that he met my mother, Charlie’s twin sister. The rest they say, is history.”

Trust formed to expand Snowden Bush A new trust has been incorporated to raise money to expand the Snowden Bush Reserve in Brightwater. Nelson MP Nick Smith says the Snowden Bush Trust is needed to protect and enhance the reserve by buying the important frontage along Waimea West Road from the Anglican Church and adding it to the reserve. “This expansion of the reserve permanently protects centu-
ries old totara trees and habitat for native birds, as well as maintaining the public view and connection of the reserve with Brightwater” Nick says. The Snowden Bush Trust is chaired by Jeremy Cameron with other trustees being John Baker, Antoinette Besier, Megan Brown, Karen Cameron, Janice Gibbs, Annette Moorhead and Nick Smith. The initial proposal for the trust came from Brightwater
residents led by Janice Gibbs who approached Nelson MP Nick Smith for help last year. A public meeting in Brightwater on December 3 endorsed the trust proposal. The inaugural meeting of the trust was held on March 4 and the trust was incorporated lastweek. Nick says the Anglican Church is quite entitled to sell the property but would be a tragedy for it to be permanently lost to housing development.

Load control is a mechanism that Network Tasman and many other lines companies use to manage the demand that heating water places on the electricity network during ‘peak’ demand periods, typically in the morning and early evening on the coldest winter days. Load control allows Network Tasman to shut off devices such as electrical hot water cylinders for a short time, using a ripple control system, then switch them back on during low-demand ‘off-peak’ periods. As a result Network Tasman can keep costs down and pass those savings on to our consumers. Cheaper prices for water heating are shown on your electricity bill as a line called ‘controlled’ or ‘economy’. Controlling the load in this way doesn’t impact on the way you use your hot water e.g. to wash your dishes, do laundry or have showers and baths. Our aim is to ensure that you don’t even notice that load control is being used. RC LAN
11:08.15 connected

LC
Your advanced meter will display “LC” if hot water heating is switched off by our load control system. “LC1” will be displayed if hot water heating is enabled. Visit www.networktasman.co.nz to see if load control is in place.
Load control helps save consumers money because it reduces the transmission charges that Network Tasman pays to Transpower. Network Tasman also doesn’t have to invest so much money upgrading the capacity of its local network to cope with ever-increasing peaks during network busy hours. “As an example,” says Network Tasman’s Regulatory and Commercial Manager, Daniel Vincent, “in the next four years we will need to build a new grid exit point in Brightwater. If we didn’t have load control, we would have needed to make this $28 million investment approximately six years earlier and customers would already be paying for that investment in their power bill. “Deferring investment keeps our network at a level that’s in line with what the community actually needs and, in turn, keeps electricity prices down. It also means we can take advantage of developing technology and innovation as alternatives to traditional network supply become available. “Management of peak load through hot water load control by Network Tasman saves the company and its customers more than $3 million every year. This equates to around $76 per customer per year.”

On the move for charity Matt McCrorie Garin College students, including year 13 student and Christian service leader Megan Ritchie, organised a charity event at Garin college last Saturday, as part of the nationwide Caritas challenge. The Move It challenge involved a walk-athon, which went from 8am-6pm, saw students and teachers walking for nine hours, doing 1km laps of the field at Garin College. “We had about 100 people coming and going throughout the day, including teachers. One teacher walked 60 laps” Megan says. Partakers in the walk-a-thon were sponsored per lap, meaning the more laps they walked, the more money they were able to raise. “We also had sports games going, which students could ‘earn’ laps for. “If you played a 14-minute football game, you earned two laps.” So far, the students have raised nearly $2000, with money still coming in. Caritas Aotearoa is part of a worldwide group of Catholic relief organisations, and the money raised will go towards Caritas South Sudan, to provide aid to those affected by the famine in South Sudan, where 5.5 million people face severe hunger. There were several different challenges that schools and community groups could chose to do to raise money, and in previous years Garin College students have done the Slum It challenge, which involves sleeping out overnight in cardboard homes.

Gun owners encouraged to hold off Owners of military style semi-automatics (MSSAs) are being told to hold off handing in their firearms until they have more detail on the government’s buy-back scheme. In a column in the March edition of Mountain Echo, the newsletter of the Nelson branch of the New Zealand Deerstalkers Association, national president Trevor Chappell says the organisation’s national executive is advising members to ensure that changes already made in regard to semi-automatic ownership are strictly adhered to. “Do not hand in any firearms yet, wait until there is further detail on the buy-back scheme,” he says. “Please be responsible and do not use your reclassified semi-auto one last time as you run the risk of losing your firearms licence and giving hunters and sporting shooters a bad name.” Last month the government announced proposed changes to New Zealand’s gun laws in response to the terror attacks in Christchurch, but Trevor says there is no ban on owning semi-automatic firearms yet, just a reclassification that means two additional groups of semiautomatics now fall under the MSSA definition. Sales of those weapons are banned but the guns themselves will not be until new legislation is rushed through parliament. The initial effect of the government’s announcement is that there are now a number of guns owned by firearms licence holders that are now held unlawfully if that person does not hold an E endorsed firearms licence. E endorsements require vetting and extra security requirements. A bill containing details of further law changes
Water restrictions removed Water restrictions have been removed, except for Dovedale which remains on a cease take. Dry Weather Taskforce convenor Dennis Bush-King says the recent rain has helped to boost river flow and groundwater levels. However, the Dovedale area only got 10mm of rain so restrictions will be kept in place there for now, he says. Dennis thanked water users for their voluntary water-saving efforts, which avoided more drastic cuts. However, he says the dry conditions will have an enduring economic and social effect on the community. The change in weather conditions has also led to the total fire ban in the area being lifted. However, anyone who wants to light a fire outside needs a fire permit.
will be heard by a select committee over coming weeks. In announcing the proposed changes last month, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said legislation to enforce the proposed ban will be introduced when Parliament resumes sitting this week. “We will provide a short, sharp select committee process for feedback on the technical aspects of the changes. We are looking to progress the amendments to this legisla-
tion under urgency and expect these amendments to the Arms Act to be passed within the next session of Parliament,” she said. As a result of the initial and signalled law changes announced by the Government, police have created a dedicated team to work on how they implement the changes. Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement is leading this work for police and last week brought together an expert
reference group of specialists from a number of the Australian Police jurisdictions. “We discussed the processes implemented in Australia following their firearms law reforms and their processes around amnesty and buyback. “Australia has already been through this, so we wanted to know what their lessons were and what worked for them, ensuring our processes are as well-informed as possible,”
says Deputy Commissioner Clement. “Police’s work is always evidence-based and our approach here will be no different. “We have continued our engagement with the New Zealand firearms community. “We know the majority of our firearms licence holders are good members of our communities and we are committed to working in partnership with them.”

Accused arsonist named The man accused of lighting two fires in the Waimea area while firefighters were still fighting the Pigeon Valley blaze lost his bid for continued name suppression last week. Benjamin Philip Durrant, 34, had earlier been granted interim name suppression. He wanted that to continue, citing fears for his personal safety.
However, that application was declined. Dutton is accused of lighting two fires, one on the Moutere Highway on February 27 and another on Pigeon Valley Road on March 6 with a woman wgo has name suppression. They were seen by forestry workers who blocked the road with their vehicles until police arrived.
Neil Finn gives Jim the thumbs up on his 100th birthday in a still from a recorded message he sent to recognise the big day. Photo: Supplied.
Musical superstar sends local 100th birthday greeting As reported in last week’s paper, Neil Finn, current member of Fleetwood Mac, wanted to wish Richmond resident Jim Carter a happy 100th birthday, after being contacted by the Waimea Weekly. Neil had a special connection with Jim. In 2015 he travelled to Richmond and recorded a new version
of Blue Smoke - the first record to be recorded and manufactured in New Zealand and then released on a New Zealand label - with Jim in his lounge. Jim played on the original recording. Not only did Neil send us a few words to include in our story about Jim, he went one better.
With guitar in hand he took to the stage before one of Fleetwood Mac’s US shows and sang Jim happy birthday, and what an honour it had been to meet him, before sending the video and audio recording to Jim in time for his birthday so he could watch it on his computer on the big day.

They spoke on behalf of other local ministers and churches when they said that they are so grieved by what has happened. Jono and Vanessa reiterated that the local Christian community, represented through many different churches, would be praying for them all and looking
at how practically they can show love and support in the days to come. Jono recounted talking at the mosque with one of the men from Iraq. As a recent immigrant, the man had shared that events like this, where innocent lives are taken, were a regular daily occurrence in his home country and he said how he had felt so safe here in comparison. He still does, he said, but this event had shaken him to the core, as it has the rest of New
Zealand. As Jono said, “It has been special to see New Zealanders from many cultures coming together to support each other in the wake of this tragedy. The challenge is there for all of us who call ourselves Kiwis: What is our personal response to times of tragedy in our nation? How can we reach out to our neighbours, colleagues and wider community, and support each other in difficult times like this?”

Our Christian Community News and Views
Just a thought… Ian Smith Priest in charge, Richmond Anglican Parish One of my deepest joys, in more than 40 years of ministry, was to see humanity loving humanity as was shown in Christchurch over this past month following the massacre of those 50 Muslim worshippers whilst they were at prayer. Wouldn’t this be wonderful to see such loving demonstrations more powerfully expressed within our region… within our world? This is what our Waimea Minister’s Association has as one of its core aims. Many of our associated members during the season of Lent, remembering the forty days Jesus struggled with the temptation to bypass the Cross, to look deeply with ourselves and ask, “Why this is not happening as we would all like?” This
year the Catholic community joined us at Holy Trinity for an Ash Wednesday service, where ash was placed on foreheads reminding us that we come from dust and to dust we will all return. But what we do in this short time frame when our ‘dust’ forms part of our growing humanity is, to me, the most important question we should be asking as we move from Lent into the Easter season, where we celebrate the resurrection life of Jesus empowering us to love each other differently. This Lenten season I have been reading Meister Eckhart (1260 – 1328), a German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Gotha, in the Landgraviate of Thuringia. In his work “God is Above all Understanding” Eckhart writes: “God is nameless, for no man can either say or understand aught about Him. If I say,
God is good, it is not true; nay more; I am good, God is not good. I may even say, I am better than God; for whatever is good, may become better, and whatever may become better, may become best. Now God is not good, for He cannot become better. And if He cannot become better, He cannot become best, for these three things, good, better, and best, are far from God, since He is above all…” So maybe the more we try to explain “what God is”, the bigger the mess we make of this understanding. Might it even be that the more we look past the “God” ideas we all hold to so fiercely, the more “Love” is able to embrace us and form those bonds about us that respects our tiny understandings and thus brings a sense of peace, which all our religious traditions are so desperately searching for.

Future development opinions sought For the next month, the Tasman District Council is running a series of drop-in sessions to help it develop the joint Nelson Tasman Future Development Strategy. It wants to hear residents’ views on the options available to help it make decisions that will reflect the way Tasman people want to live in future. The TDC and Nelson City Council are working together to create a future development strategy that will help them plan for and manage how and when urban growth will go over the next 30 years. Speaking to the Waimea Weekly earlier this year, Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne said there is enough land available in the district
for development to cover the next 10 years, but beyond that there is not enough residential-zoned land in existing settlements to meet likely demand. He says that begs the question of do we keep spreading out, gobbling up the best horticultural land and turning it into houses, or is it better to go up, and make housing development more intensive. Consideration will also need to be given to whether developing new settlements in new locations, where land is less valuable, should be considered. Given the closeness of Richmond to Stoke and Nelson, it made sense to work with the Nelson City Council on the strategy, he says.

Over 200 young people, from ten youth groups across our region, gathered on Friday night at Richmond New Life church for a combined youth event called “The Cause”. Matty Russell, from Australia, hip hop artist and motivational Christian speaker, kicked off with a couple of original raps and then shared his radical story of coming from a background of abuse and generational drug use. He talked of how a radical encounter with Jesus Christ turned his life around 180 degrees. It was an amazing night as many young people, keen for change, responded to his challenge to make choices that will bring life, healing and hope, rather than remaining stuck in the hopelessness of addiction and brokenness.

A crashed car has been sitting on the side of Lower Queen St for the past week,. The car, a 1990 Nissan Primera, has been left at the McShane’s Road turn off on lower Queen Street, partially on the road. The vehicle is cordoned off only by a single road cone, but residents say that the car, left for nearly a week now, is a hazard to vehicles

and cyclists. The car has been slapped with fines and tickets for being there illegally, but any action to move the car is yet to be taken by the council or the police. A police spokesperson has said that the removal of the car is the owner’s responsibility. The council has been made aware of the situation and is looking into what they can do. In the meantime, the hazard remains.

Sport Mentoring group to benefit www.shuttersport.co.nz
Mentoring group Big Brothers Big Sisters is the main beneficiary of this year’s City2Saxton fun run and walk, which is being held this Sunday. Big Brothers Big Sisters Nelson manager Chelsea Routhan says the event, which begins at the Victory Community Centre and finishes at Saxton Field, is a fantastic opportunity for the young people and their role models who are part of the mentoring group, to get involved in the event together and raise awareness and funds. “Funds raised will allow more young people in our region to have a positive role model in their life,” she says, adding that everyone part of BBBS is encouraged to support the event through sponsorship to complete the course and donations on the day. The 10km course, which takes on several of Nelson’s walk and bike routes, can be done on foot, scooter, skateboard, wheelchair, mobility scooter or pram. Chil-
Participants in last years’ event setting the standard for the onesie competition.
dren under six can bike, while skipping ropes and hula hoops and other creative props are encouraged. Organisers say how you get to the other end is irrelevant. You can run, roll, stroll or even hop if you want. It’s all about having fun along the way. The event is designed to get peo-
ple of all ages and levels of fitness out and active together in an easily achievable and non-competitive atmosphere. Around 400 participants took part in last year, with a similar number expected this year. The “onesie” competition returns this year, while sports and school groups are encouraged to take
part, earning an entry fee reduction. A team of 40 volunteers will help out along the route, there will be a water station and port-a-loos on the way plus a vibrant finish village with music, coffee carts, food vendors, entertainment and a koha-barbecue to add to the carnival atmosphere.
Local businesses have donated a range of spot prizes, while families with three generations competing go in the draw for a fabulous family day out. For those who need it there will be a free bus running from Saxton Stadium to Victory Community Centre before the race starts so people can leave their vehicles at the finish. This will be organised on a first come/first served basis, with participants encouraged to car pool if possible. The course has been designed to avoid as many road crossings as possible, with the route almost entirely following the Railway Reserve from Victory Community Centre and other bike and walkways, out along the coast to Saxton Field. Pre-event online registration costs $15 to enter for adults, $7.50 for children 6 to 17, and $37.50 for a family of five. Those under six are free. Registrations on the day will be subject to a $5 surcharge.

Boxers come home with medals Fighters from Brightwater-based Warrior Warren’s Boxing Gym returned from a recent tournament in Christchurch with six novice championship medals - three gold and three silver. Trainer Peter Warren says more than 100 fighters from around the South Island competed at the event, which was held over three sessions on March 23 to 24, a Saturday afternoon and an evening, followed by another on the Sunday. The fights were held over three two-minute rounds and the medal haul could have been
even better, Peter says, with one of the silver medals a split decision in the final. The boxers fought over different ages and weight restrictions. Boxers who have had less than five fights can fight as a novice, and Peter says the classification gives them the opportunity to have their first fights against people of similar experience. Peter moved his gym over from Blenheim about 10 months ago and he now trains just under 20 boxers in the Brightwater Public Hall at Centennial Park. Training is on Mon-
days, Wednesdays and Fridays between 5.30-6.30pm, with two members of Peter’s former Blenheim gym making the journey over to continue training under him. Seven of the boxers he trains fight competitively, he says, with the others coming along for a look, possibly to take it up later. Peter started boxing himself as an 8-yearold and continued with it for 38 years. He has been coaching off and on for about eight years. He says two members of his gym are possible contenders to compete at the Common-
wealth Games in the future, with 14-yearold Tony Sproul and Kayden Warren, his 17-year-old son, both having that sort of potential. Peter boxed at the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane in 1982 but unfortunately came up against the eventual gold medal winner in his first fight. A knockout tournament, he did not go any further. He encouraged anyone in the Waimea area interested in taking up the sport to come along to the hall on a training night and have a look at how things are run.

Young Ollie Stump with his very first kingfish.
Monster snapper and tons of kingies Dominik Berghamer Finally some rain! The much needed precipitation has washed lots of logs and other debris into the bay, watch out when you are heading out. The murky water usually puts fish off the bite but it will clear up within days. The snapper fishing is patchy but we had more than half a dozen reports of really big fish over 20lbs being caught over the last two weeks. Most of them were caught straylining large baits like whole pilchards or whole squid. Light gear seems to work better on these shy, old fish and patience is essential. A good berley trail and constant cubing (throw small chunks of bait over board) will increase your chances significantly. The numbers of legal-sized kingfish are still exceptional
and they are everywhere, at the moment it seems to be easier to catch a legal kingie than a decent kahawai. The only kahawai in the bay seem to be juvenile fish of about half a pound, not ideal for the smoker but excellent live baits. Catch them with Sabiki rigs and try them under a balloon, on a bottom rig or slow trolling. Trolling Rapalas and skirted lures for kingies works well and some specialists catch them in the shallows on soft baits - as a bycatch while casting for snapper. The Dawnbreakers Fishing Club committee members are already preparing the upcoming events, next in line will be a club weekend in Okiwi Bay in early April which usually provides great entertainment and excellent fishing.

Eddyline series winds up After a wet, stormy day, by 6pm running conditions were excellent for the last of the Waimea Harrier 5km Eddyline races last week. It was a great evening, with 78 athletes taking part and the two fastest times for the series being recorded. Matt Ogden, the undisputed winner, completed the course in a time of 16 minutes, 28 seconds, followed by Theo Wordsworth, 17 minutes, 18 seconds. A ‘mid-summer’s day’ greeted around 70 runners and walkers as they made their way towards Spooners tunnel on the inaugural running of a challenging Belgrove to Kohatu Race. The cooler air in the tunnel provided a welcome break from
the heat of the sun, before athletes continued their 15.5km race on the Great Taste trail. The event was a great success, with the Kohatu Café a ‘buzz’ afterwards. While the emphasis was on participation, the efforts of the top athletes cannot go unmentioned. Braden Lawson was the first runner home in a slick time of 1.01.46hrs, followed by Brian Kemp, 1.03.28hrs, putting in a good training run for his London Marathon. All the best for the 28th April, Brian! Klaartje van Schie ran well to lead the women’s field home in 1.07.08hrs with Colette Read, 1.11.12hrs in 2nd place. Gillian MacDougal was the first walker home in a commendable time of 2.08.12hrs.
Dinner celebrates dressage season The Nelson Dressage Group’s successful summer series wrapped up at its annual prize-giving dinner and annual meeting at the Playhouse Café on Sunday, March 24, celebrating winners in both registered and non-registered classes. And although it still seems far too warm to be thinking about dusting off your winter woollies, the Pitt and Moore Winter Series gets under way in just a few weeks at the Rough Island Equestrian Park. The winter series is always popular and attracts local riders as well as riders from further afield. The competitive dressage season is in the summer, so winter dressage is a great opportunity for riders new to dressage to come and see what it’s all about and for experienced dressage riders to polish their moves in a relatively relaxed competition environment. Ribbons are awarded up to fourth place in each class, as well as other prizes being up for grabs. There are four winter series, held on the last Sunday of each month from April to July. Entries can be made via the Equestrian Entries website.

Teamwork key to table tennis success Three generations working together is producing results for a young Richmond table tennis player. Finn Brown recently won the boy’s 13 and under singles category at the Elisa Lee table tennis tournament in Christchurch, an event that features predominantly Christchurch-based players but also attracts other players from around the South Island. In the final Finn beat the topranked under 13 player in the South Island, a player who is in the top four or five in the country and who beat Finn in straight sets at the same tournament in the 15 and under category. It was not the first success for Finn, who also won the boys 13 and under doubles at the tournament. In October last year, during his first time at the nationals, he picked up a silver medal in the same age group playing for Southland as a draft player. He has won a number of local tournaments and was selected in the New Zealand under 11 team in his first year of playing table tennis. However, it’s thanks to the work he puts in with two others, Oakwoods resident John Jary (better known as JJ), and Paul Op den Buysch. Finn says JJ is like a grandfather

Paul Op den Buysch, John Jary (JJ), Finn Brown and Steve Davis. for the best part of 40 years. “He asked me ‘do I have to hit the ball so hard?’ I replied ‘I’m not doing you any favours if I don’t. “He quickly improved and with Oakwoods’ manager Steve Davis’ approval we train in their recrea-
tion room on Monday evenings for an hour.” JJ trains other children three nights a week and on Sunday mornings. Also helping Finn is Paul, who was one of a group of juniors coached by JJ in 1986.
Nelson Matters Three years ago Nelson got in behind the “Buy a Beach” campaign that enabled the sand spit at Awaroa to be added to the Abel Tasman National Park. This week a new Trust has been formed for a similar but smaller project to expand and protect Snowden’s Bush in Brightwater. This spectacular scenic reserve is the last remnant of a vast forest that once covered the Waimea Plains. All except the few hectares at Snowden’s Bush of this ancient forest has been lost to fires during Maori times and the mass clearance for farming and housing during the 19th century European settlement.
The five hectares of ancient totara, matai and titoki trees, mistletoe and native birds was purchased by the Waimea County Council in 1920 from Tom Snowden. The problem for Brightwater and the wider Tasman and Nelson community is that the 200 metre frontage along Waimea West Road is privately owned by the Anglican Church. This area was acquired for St Pauls in the 1850s as a ‘glebe’ meaning land to support the grazing of a horse and to grow food for the Church Minister. It has been used for decades as part of the scenic reserve. The Park Management Plan states that if the Church ever
offered it for sale it should be purchased and added to the reserve. I cannot criticize the Anglican Church for wanting to sell this land. They are about Christian Ministry rather than providing public parks. They have generously agreed to gift 71% of the area they own to the reserve and are quite entitled to sell the remaining 3500m² for housing. My involvement in this project began last year when impassioned Brightwater residents led by Janice Gibbs asked for my help in protecting the reserve’s frontage. Their concern was the loss of beautiful totara and titoki trees, public space and blocking the vista of the main
544 Waimea Road, Nelson
reserve with housing. The Church has helpfully indicated they are open to selling this area at a very fair price. A public meeting in December endorsed the plan to form a Trust to raise the funds, purchase the land and expand the reserve. The need to protect these trees and this reserve has only got more pertinent with the significant loss of native forests in the Pigeon Valley fire. I am very grateful to the volunteers who have joined Janice and I in forming the Snowden’s Bush Trust – Chair Jeremy Cameron, John Baker, Antoinette Bier, Megan Brown, Karen Cameron and An-

Paul trains Finn for four hours a week, on Tuesdays and Sunday mornings, at Saxton Stadium. Finn’s dad James could not be more impressed with the knowledge and help the two men share with his son and other young players, along with the input of Oakwoods. “The input of Oakwoods in allowing the kids to come here is tremendous. Everyone is treated like family and they ask for nothing but politeness and dedication in return.” Steve says Oakwoods hosts the table tennis training for children as a way of making sure the village is involved in the wider Waimea community. He says village residents also get a great deal of enjoyment out of watching young people like Finn play. Paul says Table Tennis Nelson is holding a school holiday programme this month for young people interested in the game. It is being held at Saxton Stadium on Tuesday, April 16, Thursday, April 18, Tuesday, April 23 and Thursday, April 25, from 9.30am to noon. The cost is $15 for four sessions or $5 per session. Bats and balls are provided and those interested should bring something to eat and drink during a short break halfway through each session.
nette Moorhead. We have a huge task ahead. We will be seeking funding from Government, Council and the community. I invite locals to drive out to Waimea West Road to enjoy the reserve and appreciate how much will be lost if the frontage is replaced by housing. Nelson and Tasman’s population is growing strongly and so is the awareness of the value of New Zealand’s unique native flora and fauna. We must do all we can to protect and expand the precious Snowden’s Bush Scenic Reserve to ensure our natural heritage is there for future generations. Advt.

Weekender entries open Entries are open for this year’s Kaiteriteri Weekender at the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park, with three separate events set down for April 13 and 14. Activities get rolling on Saturday, April 13, with the Port Nelson 6 Hour Bike Relay. Riders can expect a great route that will suit all abilities, and categories include men’s, women’s, mixed teams
of two-to-four, schools (intermediate and college) and solo. There will additional spot prizes for best fancy dress, single speed champ and best retro bike. New this year is the post 6 Hour party at Gone Burgers, with a band and a mountain bike movie to watch. The following day the action will get under way with the
Gone Burgers Jaws Enduro, with intermediate to advanced trails culminating in a full length rip down ‘Jaws’. If you want more action, roll to the Big Airs Whip Off. Points and prizes will be awarded for the most airtime style. There was some amazing talent on show last year and organisers expect riders have had plenty of time to work on their whips
since then. During the 6hr Relay there will be food stalls, coffee cart, ice cream and more. Plus a few stalls from local bike shops and a bike mechanic in case you find yourself in a spot of bother on race day. For more information go to www.kaiteriterimtbpark. org.nz or www.facebook. com/KaiteriteriMTBPark or bike@krr.co.nz
