Waimea girls finish third in NZ Phillip Rollo The Waimea Intermediate girls firstXI are the third best cricket team in the country. A five-for from star bowler Claudia Green and a quick fire opening partnership from twins Courtney and Tayla Brown sealed Waimea Intermediate’s fate against Berkley Normal Middle School in the third/ fourth playoff. The girls competed at the Milo Shield final in Palmerston North for the top

four teams from around the country, after winning South Islands’. After a heavy eight-wicket defeat to Tawa Intermediate in the semi final, the girls fought back in the tournament to beat Berkley by 27 runs. Batting first Waimea reached 107/8. Hannah Davenhill admitted to being nervous, but says once they were out of final contention, the pressure was off and the rest of the girls rose to the occasion.

“Our first game was pretty hard against Tawa. We only got 40 runs, and they got over 120. We were all out in 10 overs. So we were pretty down,” she says. The girls all want to continue cricket on through college and hope to play for the White Ferns one day. With the White Ferns playing Australia at Saxton Oval later in the year, all the team is excited to watch their idols.

In regards to the Pike River mine tragedy, we asked people on the street whether they thought New Zealand mines should become opencast.

Jamie King-Turner.

Ken Todd.

“I think they should be. You’re risking lives going underground. But then it’s New Zealand’s greens, and we don’t really want to dig all that up.”

“I don’t think it’s a yes or no answer. You can’t risk lives, and you can’t ruin the scenery.”

“I’m not too sure. I’d probably prefer opencast. There’s less dangers and it’s much safer.”

I don’t think there’s much future in mining coal really. The Pike River one wouldn’t have been economical to opencast anyway.”

Mystery shoppers praise Mall retailers A recent mystery shopper exercise to test the levels of service, products and satisfaction given by local Richmond Mall retailers has come back with great results. Ten retailers achieved the top rating possible across the seven performance criteria, with another 21 retailers achieving scores in the 90’s. Over two thirds of the retailers achieved a score that was regarded by the company conducting the research as either “excellent” or “very good”. Richmond Mall manager David Hill was particularly glowing in his praise of the survey and the retailers, commenting that the recent emphasis many retailers had

placed on customer service training through the Retail Institute was really paying dividends for their stores. Robbie Dyer from the New Zealand Retail Institute was an enthusiastic supporter of the survey and commented that a large number of retailers at Richmond Mall had undertaken training through the institute and a large number were represented in the “excellent” category. Robbie commented that those retailers that took up the offer of training were able to see tangible benefits within a very short space of time. David added that the most important data that came from the report – apart from the individual store results -- was the trend across the Mall showing an increase in customer service levels and a marked increase in “store and staff presentation”. This survey is done annually to track areas of improvement. Previous training and specialist support offered by the Mall includes visual merchandising, food trends and customer service training. The top retailers that achieved 100 percent were: Unichem Richmond Mall, Pizza Hut, Ambrosia, Cuts @ Once, Faith, Hardys Richmond Mall, Health 2000, Postie Plus, Powerstore and Ruby Tuesday.

Where do the toys go? The Christmas Toy Appeal collects toy’s from all over the region and the campaign, run by Salvation Army, started on Saturday with the Ulysses Toy Run. But where to from there? Salvation Army’s Major Jill explains their journey to happy homes. “The gifts from the Ulysses toy run are put into bags and piled into the truck and taken back to the Salvation Army Centre. Once there the teams of elves get busy sorting the gifts into ages and categories. The aim is for the children to have a major gift and possibly a couple of stocking fillers. The families who receive these toys usually shop second hand all year so we aim to give the children a new gift. Used toys are set to one side and resorted. Where a soft toy looks like new but is ‘shop-soiled’ a small team take these toys home and introduce them to the washing machine. They are then dried and returned to the Gift Area. Other second hand toys are inspected for possible inclusion. Those excluded are either sorted for giving to agencies to use in their family rooms or put through our Family Stores at a very cheap price for families to purchase for their stocking fillers and also add funds for Community Ministries purchases. Over the days that follow the toy pile is added to from the radio and newspaper appeals as well as individuals coming in with their gifts. We contact all the agencies working with families and they make their lists and arrange an appointment to come and choose gifts for their children, which are then wrapped and delivered.

will be putting on items, but any one in the community brave enough can get up and have a sing-along. Brightwater School principal Gerald Baldwin says the students have been practicing away at school for the past weeks and are really looking forward to performing. “The kids have already had the school production this year and some of the choir members did Susan Prentice. So we’ve got quite a base of songs that they already know,” he says. Gerald says the event is great for the community to come together and take a break from their busy lifestyles. “Because life is so busy these days, people in the community can sit down with their neighbours and have a good yarn to them.”

Roses blooming good Bill Strawbridge says people who think the rose gardens around Richmond look even more spectacularly colourful at present than is usual in late Spring aren’t imagining it. “It’s been a very good year for roses,” says handyman/gardener of 11 years at Club Waimea, where the blooming rose gardens are as stunning as anywhere else in town. “We’ve had not-too-much rain which is an important factor and the colours are brilliant this season. We’re enjoying the first crop of blooms at present which are the biggest and often the lesser diseased crop. Proper pruning techniques will maximize the growth of new blooms.” The former freezing works butcher lost his wife beloved Margaret earlier this year but was pleased she greatly enjoyed their rose garden at home, which has about 50 rose bushes. “She wanted a rose garden for a long time and regrettably it took me about 20 years to get around to establishing it.” “Growing good roses is certainly something you need expert advice on but you do learn from your own failures and successes and experience all the time and what might work well for one gardener doesn’t always work as well for someone somewhere else. It’s always a chal- Bill Strawbridge with the roses at Club Waimea. lenge, but well worth the effort.” Photo: Craig Goodman.

Big ones, small ones, even oddly shaped ones. Room 7 of Henley School went out to Garden’s of the World and dug out the potatoes they had planted three months ago. The idea of planting potatoes came about when another teacher at Henley School had gotten her students to plant them in buckets. But Room 7’s teacher Kathy Ferguson thought it was a better idea to come out to the gardens in Hope and plant them. “My children got wind of it, and wanted to do what her class was doing,” says Kathy. Throughout the past three months, a group of five or six students had looked after the potatoes every three weeks. “It gave the children an opportunity to come out to Garden’s of the World and to follow the process of how a simple basic vegetable is grown. These kids have actually learnt that there’s a bit more too it.” Thanks to Francis Day who helped the students plant the potatoes, there was huge smiles as kids rushed to see what the end result was. Kathy even got the students to have a competition as to which was the biggest, smallest, longest and most bizarre looking potato. Nathan Black dug out a whopping 360 gram potato, easily the biggest in the class. But he was a bit surprised that his was the biggest. “I’m pretty amazed. My plant was originally the smallest and I thought there was nothing on it,” he says. Although Nathan was probably more excited to go home and eat it, he said he enjoyed the experience of growing his own vegetables. Other students had even gone home to teach their parents how to grow them. Kathy says they could not have done it without

They’re usually not this boisterous.” Some of the potatoes were allowed to be taken home, while one each was donated to the school formal.

NZ-made furniture shop now open In a move that Lindsay Thomason describes as “pure response” his popular furniture company Lynfords has opened a branch in Queen St Richmond. “We have been looking after Nelson customers from our established Blenheim branch for some years now so we decided it was time to open up a local shop” he says. A big supplier of high quality Danske Mobler, Eden Outdoor furniture and the famous Stressless brand as well as Bos, Lindsay has bought the huge range with him and is looking forward to showing local customers around this range.

“One of the big positives is that this furniture, is in the most part, is still made right here in New Zealand so therefore the quality of the build and the components matches our conditions. And most people are surprised at the low cost of the range,” says Lindsay. “Most of this stuff does and will last a lifetime”. The Danske Mobler range goes from traditional to quite funky in its styles and design. The new family owned and operated shop is next to Noel Leemings and is open 6 days a week with a “20 percent off selected items” opening sale.

Caregivers graduate with flying colours

Fourteen Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village staff were treated to a local “graduation” last week. The staff completed Ryman Foundation Programme course and to recognise their achievements and congratulate them Ernest Rutherford held a graduation day. Participating in the Foundations Programme earns care-givers an NZQA recognised Level 2 qualification, the National Certificate in Community Support. “We are delighted so many of our staff have taken part with such outstand-

ing results,” says village manager Caro Bartlett. “We have a highly regarded and enthusiastic care team that has worked extremely hard to achieve this qualification.” This means Ernest Rutherford can guarantee that every member of the caring team has a minimum of a Level 2 qualification. Now that the carers have completed their Level 2 qualification they will go on and complete both national level 3 qualifications through participation in the Aged Care Education work-based training programme.

Healthy heart award for Richmond early learning centre ing hosted by NMDHB early childhood health promoter Anne Price and a shared healthy breakfast with parents to celebrate Matariki (Maori New Year).” In presenting the award Mark Dunn of Heart Foundation says “We looked at all sorts of things including the provision of food at the centre. Richmond Early Learning ticked all the boxes and following our assessment we From left Richmond Early Learning children with their fresh fruit platters, Mathew Neuman, Caitlin had no hesitation in making this Newport, Lucy Smith and Carl Quinn, all 4 years, with teacher Rebekah Cook and Mark Dunn from Heart Foundation. award.”

Just a thought ‘Let’s spare a thought for the Pike River miners and their families.’ Perhaps you have heard this suggestion as I have a number of times in the past week. People with any religious faith or none will, I’m sure, feel comfortable with responding to this sentiment. ‘Sparing a thought’ links us in our comDavid Gruschow mon humanity with Parish Priest these people who are mourning the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish. death of miners who are family members, neighbours, fellow citizens. It binds us with a sense of solidarity with those who are suffering. It is something that we can do when there may not seem any other way to respond to tragedy. Tragedy is something we all come across at times in our lives. It can take many forms and people like myself who are in Christian ministry and those in helping professions come across it often. Not only people dying before their time, but also relationships breaking, chronic illness, injuries that never quite heal, financial distress…the list is extensive. What is the best way to respond, to reach out to the people affected? Early on in my ministry I came to realise that it was not so much what I said on such occasions that was valued, but rather just my being there with the people concerned. Indeed I often did not know what to say – for I thought that anything I said would seem to be shallow, trite. Just sitting with the person in supportive silence, or sharing a prayer…these seemed to be helpful. In the days and weeks to come ways we may be able to reach out to and assist the miners’ families may be suggested to us. In the meantime, with the rest of our country, our hearts and thoughts go out to them. Christians will also hold them up in prayer asking God for comfort, consolation, healing, peace. In so doing, we are also asking God for these ourselves so that we may appreciate anew our loved ones, our neighbours, our fellow citizens – not just after they have died, but also while they are here on earth with us.

TDC offically opens Wakefield reservoir The Tasman District Council officially opened the new Wakefield Reservoir last week, despite the majority of the completion concluding in May. The second reservoir provides for additional storage of 750m3 and will secure sufficient storage for future requirements. Urban areas of Wakefield will enjoy the water supply while it will also provide for rural extensions of Pigeon Valley, as well as Main Rd South, and Main Rd North, Spring Grove.

TDC engineering manager Peter Thomson says that the reservoir was a must for a growing area like Wakefield. And that it is important to provide good quality and security of supply to those in the region. “It’s a suitably sized reservoir and provides for future growth and current demand,” he says. In 2004 the council indentified that the Wakefield water supply scheme had insufficient storage to meet current and future demands.

a problem with the service until it doesn’t work. People just expect the water to keep coming out of their taps.” Council also plans to upgrade the water treatment facility and has successfully secured an additional source of water from a series of bores at Spring Grove to augment the current Wakefield water supply. Peter also says that in the future the region will need extra water containers, so this is a huge step towards upgrading the town water supply.

This was the first time the carols had featured at the Gardens of the World, and owner Francis Day is keen for the event to be an annual occurrence. Even the ducks from the pond behind the stage waddled over to see what was going on. There were smiles everywhere, although not everyone was keen for a sing along until later in the evening.

WTTU to face arch rival in two day cricket final Phillip Rollo Waimea Toi Toi United will face arch rivals Stoke/Nayland in the final of the two-day cricket competition. A draw against Waimea College looked to have ended their chances of making the Car Company First Division two-day final, but thanks to other results falling their way, the third place Sprig & Fern Waimea Toi Toi United overtook leaders Wanderers in to the top two. “We’ve come back strong in the second half of the season and deserve to be there,” says captain Aaron Mallison. A narrow defeat against Stoke/ Nayland in the round robin has given the team plenty of confidence heading in to their first twoday final for a number of years. “We did well in the field and restricted them to about 40/7 and ended up bowling them all out for 140. We should have won.” Aaron will be returning to the starting eleven along with Nelson bowler Jon Routhan. Greg Chitty will miss the clash with family commitments. Batting their final overs of the first innings against Waimea College at Ben Cooper Park, WTTU declared on 315/8, and hoped to pick

up early wickets in the second to seal an out-right victory. But frustration grew when they struggled to pick up wickets, and soon enough Waimea College batsman Tom Ingham had raced away to 69 runs. Connor Neynens kept the run rate ticking over with a solid 64 himself. Even whey they had looked to have made some inroads, the Waimea College tail started to wag. Dan Wightman hit a quick-fire 21, Paddy Smith reached 29 not out, and Zeke Dyson marked his debut with a no ball six in what was his first ever hit of a cricket ball. Waimea College were eventually all out for 298, which gave WTTU the near impossible task of chasing down 140 runs in just nine overs. Despite some quick boundaries, and 35 runs from Steve Binnie, the draw was given with WTTU at just 64/4 at the end of day’s play. But thankfully for WTTU, Wakatu could not capitalise on the draw, and lost their final round game out-right to Hot Mama’s Motueka. The final will be played this Saturday and Sunday at Marsden Rec.

FPS Hydraulics Pneumatics is the new Logo for the business which is situated next to Placemakers in Port Nelson. Its massive workshop houses more than 20 staff that work on a variety of hydraulic projects for around the world. FPS made its name working on fishing boats but it’s now working in forestry, engineering and most other primary industries. It is now also one of the biggest hydraulic and pneumatic businesses in the country, completing projects in the Pacific Islands, Chile,

South Africa and Australia as well as jobs throughout New Zealand. FPS now have a team of sales staff out on the road servicing its more than 500 clients and its retail shop is now also open on Saturday mornings for boaties and the general public. General manager Robert Hutton says the foundation of the business is built around people and he believes he has the best team around, this is the major reason why we get such support and loyalty from our customers. “Much of the success of the business to date has been based

around the technical expertise, knowledge and experience of its director Gary Allen, but we realise Gary is only one person and that you cannot build a business solely on that basis, so we now have Gary working more closely with our Staff to pass on and share his extensive Hydraulic knowledge.” The business used the Eaton name for years, piggy backing on the multi-nationals brand in its formative years. Eaton still supplies products to FPS but now the locally owned business is ready to re brand says Robert, “As the business has grown so has

the need to grow our own identity. We needed to draw a line in the sand and developed our own FPS branding, to distinguish us from others. We also have a new facility set up on the West Coast for all our operations there and also looking at a new facility in Blenheim with Technical Staff already being trained up at our Nelson head office for that move. So we need a branding that people can trust and identify with as well as being able to build on that branding.” FPS now has 17 service and sales vehicles on the road and Robert says the company is well on its way to fulfilling its mission statement. “To become New Zealand leaders in motion control engineering” Over the past few years we’ve taken big leaps to

get there. Having some new key distributors on board this has helped us retain existing staff and attract new personnel through the recession. We are now at the stage where it is time to let everybody know what we are about and what services we provide. FPS Hydraulics Pneumatics now has its building blocks in place and is ready for further growth. “We’ve got a big journey in front of us and that’s exciting,” says Robert. “We’ve done a lot of hard work and because of that we’re in a great position and I expect the business to continue to grow fast, in fact we are still actively looking for staff, long may it continue.”

Marching to Nelson for SI Champs Over 30 marching teams ranging from kiwis to seniors will gather in Nelson this weekend to compete in the Mainland Challenge. “Mainland Challenge is the official name for what is the South Island Championships, it is also a qualifying event to attend the national championships so it has attracted pretty much the best of the South Island teams,” says local club member Karen Carey. “We’ve had a high number of entries with teams traveling from all over the South Island, as well as one from Wellington, to compete. Teams range from the young 5 year olds kiwis to the senior teams.” Marching in NZ is an amateur sport

that offers participants a strong sense of team spirit and self-discipline. It heightens powers of concentration and physical fitness, encourages good deportment, pride in grooming and personal achievement and offers musical enjoyment, life long friendships and opportunities of travel. On Saturday from 1pm teams can participate in March and Go, a local competition that doubles as a training run which offers teams a chance to warm up and to practice in a competition environment before the actual Mainland Challenge which takes place on Sunday from 9pm. All competitions take place at Trafalgar Park and entry is free to the public. There will be food and drink available and Marching Nelson will have fundraising raffles on sale over the weekend. Be sure to head down and support your local teams and enjoy the entertainment. Any enquiries can be directed to Karen Carey on Local team, Ashton Kilties, are the defending un- 542 2141 or 027 223 der 12 Mainland champions and will be compet- 2418. ing in the weekend.

Voyce ready for Abu Dhabi adventure Phillip Rollo Next week multisport adventure racer Trevor Voyce will head off to the United Arab Emirates for the biggest race of his life, the Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge. The six day event starts on Thursday New Zealand time, and comprises of a monster 130km trek through the desert, an equally tough 120km kayak, as well as biking and swimming. Trevor will be racing for the Adidas Terrex team. The team of four includes fellow New Zealander Sonya Clark and two British males. His selection came after a strong performance in the Lakes to Lighthouse race on the East Coast two weeks ago where Trevor finished second. One of his competitors had pulled out of the Abu Dhabi Challenge but recommended Trevor to take his place in the Adidas team. “I hadn’t planned it this way. I tended to take a break over the summer and work on my kayaking a bit. When you get a call from someone like that and they offer to pay your way it’s pretty hard to turn down,” he says. The quick turn around has made preparing for the treacherous race even more difficult. While it is still winter in Abu Dhabi, temperatures are likely to reach high 30s and not drop below 25. He says the two Britons have been using hot yoga studios to prepare for the heat, while Trevor has had to do as much as he can in the space of a week. Day one of the race starts with a prologue of all the events, including a 1km swim which Trevor says will be a tough ask, as he is not the strongest

swimmer. “I’ve been training on that quite a bit throughout the week.” Trevor is confident he can make the turn around, despite his race last fortnight. “Professionals like Richard Ussher and Nathan Fa’avae do that all the time. It’s a little bit harder for me, but I seem to be freshening up.” The two Nelson lads, Richard and Nathan, will also be competing in Abu Dhabi. Their Thule Adventure Team is Trevor’s pick to win it. “They’re going to be super strong. They’ve won it a couple of times before. It’s their race to lose.” With more knowledge on Richard and Nathan, Trevor says he is a lot more aware of how good they really are. “I give them a lot more respect, whereas some other teams tend to try keep up with them in the early stages and blow themselves out. We are going over there for our own reasons to do well, but to keep up with those guys is a pretty big challenge.” Having never raced in a desert before, Trevor says they will wait to see how the race pans out before setting any major goals. There is a huge prize purse of US$225,600 to be divided throughout the 30 teams. The team that finishes first place receives a US$40,000 share of the cash. Trevor is excited about what is really a total new experience for him. “There’s going to be a little bit of apprehension about it because you’re not sure how your body is going to handle the heat and the long stages in the sand. But there’s a huge amount of excitement as well.”

Two of Richmond Athletic’s star imports have confirmed their return to the football club for 2011, while a third is likely to join them. Player of the Year Joe Green and the elusive Jordan Yong will both be in the red and black of Richmond next year. Jordan has remained living in Nelson, while Joe headed back to England at the conclusion of the season. But Joe is likely to return in mid January to watch Canterbury United take on Team Wellington at Trafalgar Park.

While Club President Stu Reid cannot confirm a name yet, there is a mate of Joe’s that is “extremely keen” to come as well, and is looking at work visas now. As part of their role at Richmond, Joe and Jordan will continue coaching in development areas, although the focus will be in the Tasman area. One team likely to receive a boost is Waimea Plains, who do not have a senior team, but a strong influence in the current Richmond side. Stu says it is a fantastic opportunity for

the younger guys in the club to play with the experience these two bring. “The style of football that you watched this year with Joe and Jordan was a style that Richmond has not played for a very long time.” Preseason will kick off at the end of January, and Stu says the return of Joe and Jordan will again boost their hopes of returning to the Mainland Premier Football League. Joe’s flight home is also sorted so he will not miss next year’s promotional playoff, if Richmond qualify.

Peanut league gives preschoolers a whack Children three and four years old are learning Tee-ball skills the fun way in the Peanut League at Saxton Field. At 9:15 on a Saturday morning kids meet organiser Julie Brockie for fun activities designed to help their development through to softball. Jumping on bases pretending there is a banana underneath that needs a good squashing helps children learn that they must step on the base when running between them. Chicken wing arms when you bat, and stand like a gorilla when you field so you’re ready for the ball. Other drills include an obstacle course around the diamond. After all the drills are done, they play a game at the end. And it’s all wrapped up by 9:50am.

Julie is a preschool teacher and started the Peanut League because she likes being active and involved with children. “I’d like to see the confidence in the children grow,” she says. Julie also plays softball herself. New entrance teachers have mentioned to Julie that they have seen huge confidence from kids in physical education thanks to the Peanut League. The last Peanut League session for the year finished on Saturday. It will now be starting up again in February. If you would like your child to join, you can call Julie on 548 6425. Cost is just a gold coin donation before each session. Children must be three or four years old.

Tigers tamed by Palmerston Panthers Palmerston North Panthers got their revenge on the Nelson Tigers when they easily dispatched of them in the Challenge Cup team’s race for superstocks. Nelson had dominated the impressive Panthers outfit in their two previous meetings, claiming the cup and leaving no Palmerston North cars running at the two-day teams champs in February. But before Saturday’s race, Nelson had lost three of their key

men including national champion, Brendan Higgins, who was just racing in the open races. Nelson was guilty of making rookie mistakes throughout the team’s race, and was more focused on staying out of trouble, instead of demolishing the Panthers like they had last year. Palmerston’s Peter Rees led Peter Bengston across the line. While Blair Cunningham, third, was best out of the Nelson racers. He was followed by team-mates

Water Shortage Direction under Section 329 of the Resource Management Act 1991 The Tasman District Council considers there is a serious temporary shortage of water in the following zones and the taking/use of water is to be restricted. Restricted use is necessary to help prevent further reductions in river flow and reduce the risk of seawater intrusion into the aquifer. Holders of consents to take water from the following zones in the Waimea Plains: Upper Catchments, Reservoir, Waimea West, Golden Hills, Delta, Upper Confined Aquifer, and Lower Confined Aquifer. The Tasman District Council advises everyone in the abovementioned zones that Stage 1 rationing which is a 20% cut from authorised weekly usage is introduced as of Monday 6 December 2010. Consent holders are being advised by letter. Hosing restrictions in the urban areas of Richmond, Mapua-Ruby Bay, Brightwater, Hope, are also imposed. Hand-held hosing is only permitted on odd and even calendar days corresponding to the house street number.

Handy water saving tips: • • • • • • •

Water your garden during the cool of morning or evening to minimise evaporation. Do not leave sprinklers or hoses unattended. Repair leaky taps, hoses or fittings. Make sure every load in the washing machine is a full one. Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth. Install a dual flush toilet. By using the half flush, you can save up to 5 litres of water per flush. Never put water down the drain when there could be another use for it, such as watering plants or cleaning. • Create a compost bin rather than putting your food scraps down a waste disposal unit. if you live in a rural water area, you will be supplied water from a rural scheme. To help manage your water usage: • Please ensure you keep your storage tank clean and in good condition. • Please maintain your property reticulation, stock troughs for example, and repair any leaks promptly. • It is recommended that you fit your tank with a water level indicator, which gives you an early warning when your water level is running low. For both rural and urban water users, please report any leaks promptly to Tasman District Council Customer Services, Ph. 03 543 8400.
