NEWS IN BRIEF Ban on freedom camping ‘good’ for Richmond
• Two community facilities opened their doors earlier this week and both look set to see plenty of locals in the future. The CLM fitness centre opened on Monday, while the dental clinic at Henley School was officially opened yesterday. • An accident at the intersection of Golden Hills Rd and Waimea West Rd on Sunday has killed Foxhill resident Richard Nicholas John MacKay, 39. He and the driver, who was in a critical condition as the paper went to print, collided with a truck at the intersection after the car failed to give way. The driver of the truck was unharmed.
• After receiving 42 submissions on two proposals relating to Crescent St in Richmond, the Tasman District Council has decided to go ahead with the plan that included the partial closure of Crescent St at the Wensley Rd intersection to traffic turning out of Crescent St.

David says the mall promotes the service through the Motor Caravan Association and through tourism radio. “They can come and park here for free and use our toilets and facilities as long as they are gone by nine in the morning.” In the summer months around 20 to 30 vans fill the mall car park each night with that figure dropping off to around five or six in the middle of winter. But with freedom camping now not allowed in Nelson, David is expecting a boom. “I’m surprised the Nelson council has got this policy, I just see so many benefits from them [freedom campers]. When I read in the Nelson Weekly that the bylaw was coming in I thought it would be a crying shame if people didn’t know WELCOME: Richmond Mall manager David Hill says freedom campthat we have this resource out here.

Surface flooding severe but no physical damage caused Severe weather hit the Tasman district last week causing surface flooding but luckily no physical damage has been recorded. Public information manager for Nelson Tasman civil defence Chris Choat says Tasman District Council contractors spent most of Friday and the weekend in clean-up mode. Chris says “as quickly as the surface flooding came up it went down”. “It was pleasing that things held.”
Around 10 families in the Ranzau Rd area were assisted by the fire service when evacuating their homes in the early hours of Thursday morning and there were a number of other self evacuations. Richmond chief fire officer Ralph Lonsdale says his crew were out helping people for around four hours in total. Chris was not sure if a record had been reached for rainfall in the area
Antibiotics
the good and the bad.... It is the time of year where we see an increasing number of antibiotic prescriptions being filled. Generally people know that antibiotics fight bad bacteria, but in doing so also wipe out a lot of good bacteria. This is where pharmaceutical medication can be combined very effectively with natural medicine. Good bacteria produce a wide range of vitamins in the gut. During and after a course of antibiotics it is essential that we not only replace the bacteria, but also add the vitamins that these good bacteria would normally produce... This is why I recommend a course of Clinicians Antibiotic Support during and after a course of antibiotics. Help reduce those nasty side-effects of taking antibiotics, which are prescribed to help your body fight infection. And ladies prone to vaginal thrush ask about Clinicians Flora Restore

Liquid gold makes for great fertiliser and a fun fundraiser A group of St Pauls School children have come up with an innovative way to fundraise. By keeping worms in a compost bin outside their classroom, the students have been able to collect what they’re calling Liquid Gold. The product is essentially worms pee and is used as fertiliser in the garden. The students started the project last year say its been a lot of fun, “except it really stinks,” adds student Logan McCrae. The funds raised will go towards bark to go around the garden so when it’s wet the students don’t get muddy. For more information LIQUID GOLD: St Pauls students Freya Thomas, Flynn Smith, Simonne MacManus, Ruben Mills about liquid gold conand Logan McCrae, all 8, with worms and bottles of liquid gold they are selling as a fundraiser. tact the school office on 544-2243.

Tourism numbers set to peak at right time for Richmond Festival Of the 85,000 international visitors expected in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup later this year, around 14,000 are predicted to stop in at Nelson, a number that is pleasing Richmond Festival organiser Paul McConachie. A report put together by Nelson and Tasman Tourism estimates the Nelson economy will benefit by millions of dollars during and after the rugby tournament. The company has analysed the pool matches and has come to the conclusion that there will be times during September and October when the district will have the opportunity to lure visitors travelling

So far a Tasman 7s Invitational tournament, a Stars n Stripes Block Party and the Allstar Tailgate Party are on the cards.
DOC gives scheme green light
The Department of Conservation has recently approved granting a concession for parts of a hydroelectric scheme on public conservation land at Lake Matiri, near Murchison, with stringent conditions to manage impacts of the scheme and to improve public access to the area. The concession is subject to acceptance of the terms by New Zealand Energy Limited. The concession allows NZEL to put parts of scheme infrastructure on Lake Matiri conservation area, including three weirs at the lake outlets into the Matiri River, part of the penstock, and access track. Scheme infrastructure would also be installed on adjoining NZEL-owned land. The company has resource consents from the Tasman District Council for the power scheme. DOC Nelson/Marlborough acting community relations manager Rod Witte says public submissions on the draft concession document had been considered in approving the concession and its conditions. “Conditions reduce the environmental and recreational effects of the scheme to acceptable levels and provide for some conservation and recreation gains. Gains include public access improvements and NZEL providing $30,000 funding to enhance freshwater aquatic habitat in the Buller River catchment. “A significant gain has been securing legal walking and biking access in perpetuity across the company’s land into Lake Matiri conservation area which is also an important gateway into Kahurangi National Park. Concession conditions also require NZEL to make improvements to the Lake Matiri access track.” NZEL will now be required to contribute $30,000 to benefit public recreational use of Matiri Valley public conservation land, which would be used to build a footbridge over the West Branch Matiri River or another recreational project. “An important consideration for the department has been measures to minimise impacts on the freshwater values in the conservation area, including longfin and shortfin eels and koaro, a native whitebait species,” says Rod. The concession conditions include maintaining fish passage between the lake and river, which is to be provided for in the design of the three weirs at the lake outlets. Fish screens are required on the penstock intake and trailrace to prevent eels and other fish getting caught in these. In considering the concession application and public submissions on it, DOC could only take into account matters relating to impacts of the scheme on public conservation land. This is in line with Conservation Act requirements for assessing such applications. The resource consent process considers wider effects.

Getting behind the Tasman Makos with crowd support
Cut out this Peter Bush photo of an All Black lineout and get a two for one entry to the Nelson Provincial Museum for the Peter Bush exhibition ‘Hard on the Heels’.
Museum offers two for one deal on exhibition
Seeing the country’s longest and most impressive collection of rugby photographs just got a whole lot easier... and cheaper. The Nelson Provincial Museum currently has the outstanding Peter Bush photographic collection, reputably touted as the best rugby photographic collection in the country. But it appeals to more than rugby fans, the social changes over the decades is a fascinating backdrop to the collection says museum chief Peter Millward. “It is a wonderful collection and we are very lucky to have it in a world cup year. We have had people from other parts of the country come in and take a look, it is that sought-after nationally.” As a special offer, the museum is running a limited two for one deal to see the exhibition. Be one of the first 50 people to cut out the photograph above and take it with you to the museum and your companion will get in for free. The deal only applies to the first 50 people who bring in the photo so Peter urges people to get in quick. “We are feeling generous so thought we would help make it easy for people to come in, we want as many people to see it as possible, we are that excited by it.” Peter Bush QSM, started working on the sidelines as a young cadet for the New Zealand Herald in 1949, at a game between the All Blacks and the Wallabies. Since then, he has photographed hundreds of matches at home and overseas, enjoying privileged access to the All Black teams, both on and off the field. The exhibition also includes several mural sized works and a DVD in which Peter Bush recounts the stories behind his iconic images.
The Richmond Mall has recently come on board as sponsors of the Tasman Makos. To create more of an atmosphere at the three home games this coming season, Richmond Mall manager David Hill says he has introduced the idea of a Shark Pit. At each of the home games, played on August 16, 21 and 25, around 30 school children will be at the match in Makos jerseys. “They’ll be there to make as much noise as they can to cheer on our local team,” says David. The Richmond Mall is also proud to be the only suppliers of Makos tickets in the Tasman district this rugby season.
The Waimea Weekly can also reveal an exciting promotion the mall will be running throughout the month of August. “There will be hundreds of dollars worth of Richmond Mall vouchers up for David Hill. grabs through our make a banner and show your support campaign,” says David. Members of the community will be able to design and display banners to support the Makos. The vouchers will then be given away as
prizes. In the mall’s decision to get behind the Tasman Makos, David says management looked at the community aspect of the team. “The Makos have really stepped up to engaging with the community so we are happy to support them with their initiatives.” During the July school holidays members of the Makos team will be chaperoning at the Richmond Mall’s model search. Members of the community will also be able to have lunch with the Makos on July 27. With all these exciting activities occurring in the largest shopping complex in the region, David says things can only get better.

Hair shave raises money for kids It was all for the kids on Saturday night as local man Noel Waters had his hair shaved for charity, raising $2000 in the process. In front of a room full of supporters Noel had his head shaved by local personality “Spindle” – after he had had a go with the shearers, and even a knife. The event was all in the name of raising funds for the Starship Foundation and spokesperson Mandy Fraser says community groups such as Club Waimea, who choose to raise funds for Starship, are helping children from all over New Zealand. “Every year 150,000 children are treated at Starship, 300 of who are air lifted to the hospital from all parts of the country. Many of these young patients require intensive care treatment for life threatening illnesses and injuries and require immediate transportation to the hospital.” Club Waimea will now be looking to do charity events like this every year.

Two of the four New Zealand Girl Guide leaders to tour Fiji next month will be from right here in Tasman. Hope’s Kirsten Maling and Richmond’s Amanda Woolf have spent a number of months preparing for the three week tour and say they are “itching” to get over there and do their bit. The pair leave Nelson on July 16 and will tour several outlying islands after stopping in at Fiji. “We will be taking leaders trainings, doing school visits as most units are run as part of the school programme and we will be running a girls camp while we are over there,” says Amanda. The Girl Guiding project has had joint involvement from leaders from New Zealand and the UK over the past four years. This year will be the final time leaders from the two countries make the trip to Fiji.

Public urged to help put skids on boy racers Phillip Rollo

Wanted
Council is urging members of the public to dob in boy racers ripping up roads at Saxton Field. The grass area behind the Saxton Oval athletics track and archery field is increasingly being used for illegal off-roading, while the car-park surrounding the oval has been a haven for boy racers to do burnouts, some using cardboard trays under their tyres for less traction. But while Nelson City Council says it is “certainly a big no no,” they are relying on the general public to report any illegal activity to the police, so the multi-million dollar facility can continue to develop damage-free and without “bollards and gates” closing the park to the general public. “We want people to be able to feel free to walk around the park. But we just have to be vigilant. If
they see vehicles doing wheelies then they should call the police,” says sports ground maintenance supervisor Andrew Cavill. Saxton Field is closed between 10:30pm and 6am, but a lot of the offending has occurred during the middle of the day. Nelson police do regular patrols throughout the area and have caught offenders in the past. “They think if they go behind there that they’re not going to be seen, but that’s not necessarily the case.” As the Saxton Oval pavilion furthers development, Andrew says the more activity will “deter” people doing skids. He says a proposed burnout pad at a motorsport facility might not stop the offending. “Luckily we’ve had no significant damage. We’d hate to get to a stage where everything is closed off.”

Five year survivor still thanks community In 2007 few story’s were more heartbreaking and inspiring than Hope mother of two Mandy Carter’s fight against breast cancer. Almost five years on, reporter Teresa Hattan speaks with Mandy about her battle
Mandy Carter is the first to admit she didn’t look very good bald. She also admits her eyebrows have never fully grown back. “You don’t realise how important your eyebrows are until you’ve lost them, believe me!” The 40 year-old Hope resident will soon reach the five year “safe” period after being diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer, known as her2+, in 2007. Her2+ is a form of cancer that generally attacks younger women. Five years ago the drug that treats the disease, Herceptin, was only available free to women for three months. At the time it was thought a 12 month course was needed to treat the cancer effectively so Mandy and her family were facing a bill of around $80,000. The courageous woman became involved with the Waimea Weekly in the early days of her treatment as her husband Brett’s Wanderers rugby team were preparing to shave their heads as part of a fundraiser. Mandy got in touch with owner of Waimea Weekly Steve Page, who straight away agreed to help by throwing the weight of the community’s new newspaper behind Mandy’s cause. Together with Mandy’s friends, family and the entire community the money needed for the course of Herceptin was gradually raised through a series of fundraisers, including collection tins at various Richmond retail stores and a family fun day in Brightwater. Even though Mandy says the experience of cancer was “horrible, to put it mildly”, the family and even the whole community had

Photo: Teresa Hattan. a lot of fun fundraising to save her life. The hardest part of the whole experience she says, was having young children – Hamish was just five and Abby only three. For Mandy there was a definitive difference between her pre-cancer life and her post-cancer life. Everything changed for her and for her family says Mandy’s mother Cynthia. “Everything you did changed, everything you thought. It’s incredible, it would happen to anybody who is diagnosed with a terminal illness, it changes your life.”
Mandy says she was never one to say ‘why me’, instead it was the fact that she may not have a future and she might not be able to see her kids grow up that upset her. Cynthia also says there was also doubt in her own mind. She often thought about how the family would manage without her precious daughter. “You shouldn’t do that because there is always hope, but that’s your first emotion.” Mandy says having the support of her family was a huge incentive to get better with Cynthia doing the “kid thing” when she
couldn’t get out of bed after chemotherapy and her children giving her the drive to stay positive. “I certainly would’ve done everything I did but I probably wouldn’t have had the same drive if I didn’t have my kids.” Having the entire community reach out and say ‘you need to get better’ was also very inspiring, and at times overwhelming, for Mandy and her family. The family says it amazed them how many people donated money, right from a $1000 donation through to the lady around the corner who gave $20 even though she couldn’t afford it. “We had a really hard time with how we were ever going to pay this back. We knew we weren’t going to be able to pay it back monetary wise, but we thought what can we ever do that’s going to say thank-you to all these people,” says Mandy. “It felt like we were invincible. You kind of thought there was no other choice [but to get better] because there was so many people behind me.” Another positive that came from Mandy’s illness was a petition that was signed by over 20,000 people and given to Nelson MP Nick Smith. As a result, a full 12-month course of Herceptin is now funded by Pharmac, as opposed to the previous three. Mandy says she hasn’t exactly been given a clean bill of health, as you can never guarantee that the cancer is gone, and has had some scares with two abnormal mammograms. But reaching the five year milestone will be a big moment for her. “For a long time I didn’t think I would see five years so it will be very special.”

Changes continue at Richmond Resource Recovery Centre Work on major site alterations at the Richmond Resource Recovery Centre in Beach Road is well underway. The new re-use shop operated by the Kahurangi Employment Trust is up and running and has received favourable feedback from the community. The next stage is the new entrance off Fittal Street and a temporary refuse pit which will come into operation on Wednesday 8 June 2011, while the contractors work on the rest of the site (see map below). Kiosk staff will ensure that users can find their way to specific areas of the facility. The weighbridge used by our commercial clients will also be re-sited from 8 June 2011. While this work is being done, commercial clients will be charged on an agreed average load. The new weighbridge at the recovery centre is expected to be in operation by 16 June 2011. When the project is finished, September 2011, a new car park will provide access to the new walkway/ coastal area at the end of Fittal Street.

Week to forget for College teams Waimea College 9A simply the best It was a week to forget for Waimea College sport. In just four days, the first XI football team and the first XV rugby team were overcome by local rivals Nayland College. While one defeat was expected, the 17-15 Press Cup loss was a huge surprise with the new boys forcing Waimea College in to numerous uncharacteristic errors. Regular first fiveeighth Samuel Johnson injected some much needed spark to the Waimea College attack after the home side found themselves struggling to hold on to an 8-7 lead at oranges. Levi McPherson scored late in the opening half, but Sean Clementson's knockon over the chalk was just a number of frustrating errors for the green and gold. Lucas Bateup helped sure up the LOOKING TO PASS: Waimea’s Matt Anderson looks lead from a Jordan Inwood to pass the ball in the side’s loss against Nayland over knock-on inside his own the weekend.

Grimshaw was always a threat outside. The game was a national secondary school Waimea College were playing Nelson qualifier - Waimea College will also play College today in the second national Nelson College and Marlborough Boys qualifier.
There are simply not enough superlatives to describe the talent and application of skills of the Waimea College 9A team who compete in the Collegiate 1 grade. The team is well drilled by coaches Ann Wicken and Barbara Kreft and such is the depth and versatility of the ten players that numerous positional changes can be made without losing a beat. It was a challenge for the scribe to keep track of the 13 changes, however there were helpful supporters on the sideline that lent their assistance! There was very little ball that was thrown away (I doubt that even the Premier grade would have such a low number), the girls were totally in sync with one another and their timing was astonishing! There was always support on hand through court and the shooters received an abundance of well placed ball. Each and everyone played a role – the shooters were accurate, the mid courters linked well to deliver pressure-free ball and the defenders hunted for intercept ball. Katie Thompson impressed at both centre and wing defence where she gained numerous deflections. Ruby Jensen playing at centre and wing attack pulled in three beautiful, well timed intercepts and delivered some precision feeds. Morgan Inch was steady at wing attack in the first half and then went on to shine at goal shoot in the third stanza to convert ten from ten. Morgan was well supported by the other shooters – Emily O’Connor, Anika Paton and Katie Ditzel.

Although it was a big win (56 – 5) to Waimea, to their credit Nayland continued to try hard for the full forty minutes. Waimea Intermediate 8B had a slow start against Broadgreen Intermediate Oaks in Junior 1 Grade and was in arrears by 1 – 7 at the first break. With a better defensive effort in the second quarter the score was 4 – 11 at the major break. The third quarter belonged to Waimea as they outscored Broadgreen 10 – 4. Goal shoot, Katie Linney found her rhythm when she converted some beautiful long range shots. Wing attack Rachel McKenzie took on a hefty load of court work, when she displayed good pre-movement and distributed quality ball. Wing defence Olivia Wilbourne hassled her opposite, applying pressure on the outside of the circle. It was Broadgreen who finished stronger which enabled them to record the 19 – 17 win. Although Wanderers Phoenix won the second quarter 10 – 8, Jacks Pro Netball dominated the remainder of the game. Abbie Cederman and Christine Bromley gave away a head and shoulders height advantage to Jacks shooter Natasha Tucker, however they toiled throughout to deny possession. Andrea Strong at wing attack showed good speed off the line and delivered good ball to the mother and daughter shooting combo of Sue and Katie Macdonald. Jacks took the Grade 3 game 44 – 27.

Waimea Old Boys 2011 Winning on club day a ‘huge’ motivation Steering down the barrel of a must win weekend Teresa Hattan
The Waimea Old Boys division two side managed to come out on top after a tough game against Wanderers on Saturday. “It was one of the toughest games this season for the boys and a few of them were pretty sore on Saturday night,” says coach Nick Marquet. With a 18-15 win up their sleeves, the squad will be looking to secure a win on the road against Takaka this weekend. Nick says although the entire team put in a top effort, stand-out performances against the Brightwater and Wakefield side were put in by Ham-
ish Beallagh, Greg Monk and Ben Jeffrey. “The boys all put in a big effort, especially after last week; it was a big step up. “This week we’ll have to put in another big defensive effort as we’re leading up to the semis now,” says Nick. Other results from the weekend’s matches at Jubilee Park included the Waimea Old Boys thirds scraping through against Marist 29-27. The Waimea Old Boys senior women were able to comfortably beat Stoke 20-10.

It's a must win game for the Waimea Old Boys division one side this weekend and they know it. Stables Waimea Old Boys didn't have the opportunities to capitalize on in their 18-13 loss to Accessman Stoke on Club day, an unfamiliar feeling against the defending champions, as the home side fell to their second loss in as many games to leave their playoff chances in the balance. Goal kicker Andrew Letham had accumulated 55 points against Stoke in the past two games, but he didn't get the same chances against a much more disciplined side. Waimea Old Boys coach Mark Milne says his side “didn't create any pressure” in the second half, after a strong showing in the opening spell where Tasman Makos halfback Kaide Whiting scored from a James Lowe break in the 25th minute. He says failure to score from their opportunities was key to their loss. Mark says James, who remained at fullback, has been playing particularly well with more space to work with, but the inside backs struggled to get him involved in the match. Former New Zealand FEND: Sam Pratley makes a move up the field his team’s 18Universities and Auckland Var- 13 loss to Stoke on Saturday. Photo: Phillip Rollo. only Waimea Old Boys senior team to lose on sity flanker Kieran Williams was a their club day. standout in a tight match. The team will now take a positive mindset in to “His work-rate was tremendous,” he says. While he was “pretty happy” with the first half the week hoping to overturn this season's surperformance, it was “frustrating” to watch Stoke prise package ENZA Riwaka away on Saturday. dominate possession with a five point lead. “We got embarrassed by them on our home “They did that very well and played the way they track in the last round. We have to express ourshould have. They kept their hands on the ball selves, keep our heads up and just keep working and denied us any possession. You have to take hard. It's going to be tough for us to qualify. Basically, if we don't win over there in Riwaka, it's your hat off to them.” The Car Company first division side were the our season over.”
