Nelson and Tasman need to stop selling themselves short and amalgamate, says the local government com-mission.But Tasman’s mayor Richard Kempthorne is still uncomfort-able with the idea of a merger with Nelson, saying the region could lose its rural voice and both councils should stick to what they do best.The commission announced its draft recom-mendation to councillors, media and the regions two mayors at Saxton Pavilion last Thursday, stating the regions have “missed op-portunities” because of a governance system that fails to see the region as a whole.

Commission chair Sue Pip-er says the Nelson and Tas-man areas are facing sig-nificant regional challenges

in the years ahead and a “unitary au-thority will result in better govern-ance and decision making for the re-gion as a whole.”Richard says a merger poses nu-merous problems, key of which is a drop in rural rep-resentation and increased rates

for ratepayers in Tasman. “But it is not our job to try and sway people, I urge them to read the report and make up their own minds.”The decision ends six months of research by the commission and states the

Waimea Weekly readers really know how to put a beam-ing smile on a five year-old’s face. Just over a week ago Oliver Ashton was distraught - someone had taken his home-made go kart. But a smile was put back on his dial after Oliver and Peter appeared in the Weekly last week, offering a reward for the return of the go kart they had made together. On Thursday morning Peter says he was thrilled to re-

ceive a call with the news the kart had been located in a ditch outside the recycle centre in Richmond. Staff at the recycle centre had taken it from the ditch, thinking someone would be back for it. The go kart has lost its chain and has suffered a bit of damage to the right front wheel, but Peter says the return far outweighs this. “If you don’t speak up you don’t get a result like this. It was really great, we couldn’t have wished for a better out-come. Our family gives the Weekly two thumbs up.”

proposed new council will have its head-quarters in Richmond, have 16 coun-cillors, seven from Nelson, three from Richmond, two from Motueka, two from Waimea/Moutere and one each from Murchison/Lakes and Golden Bay.The announcement was music to the ears of Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio, who was behind a petition last year that forced the commission to look into amalgamation for the regions two councils.He says the decision by the commission was gratifying. “Listening to Sue Piper, I thought that’s it; delayed decision mak-ing, missed opportunities, she hit them all.”It was also enough to sway at least one

Tasman councillor. Richmond ward councillor Kit Maling says he is now supportive of an amalgamation because “the benefits are just too great. My con-cerns around rural representation were satisfied. I think we can achieve a lot more as one council.” He says he is un-likely to be the last Tasman councillor to back amalgamation.Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says he is now resigned to the fact that the issue will go to a vote, with the com-mission unlikely to reserve its decision after the submission process, but says at least the people will get to vote either way. “If we do go to a poll I hope it hap-pens quickly or it leaves both councils in a very uncertain state heading into long term plans.”

If the two regions were to be amalga-mated, Richard says he would stand for mayor of the new Nelson Tasman Dis-trict Council. Cost savings will run into the millions each year, says Aldo, but more importantly the region will be able to move forward in a collective approach he says. “For the last 20 years we have been trying to do shared services to ben-efit the region, but the ultimate shared service is having one council, one CEO, one set of staff. That has now been rec-ognised.” Submissions are now open on the draft proposal, closing on August 19. The commission will then read the sub-missions and make its final decision. It will then a majority to vote for it in both regions. Full details of the draft proposal are available at www.lgc.govt.nz.

• Last week when we mentioned Waimea College as a central location to the spate of burglaries hitting Richmond over the past few months several readers assumed we were implying the thieves may have been students. This is not the case, it was a topical observa-tion, an indication of the area involved.

• A karting event to raise funds for former Waimea College student and Australian V8 driver Jason Richards, who is battling cancer, was postponed on Saturday because of rain, but will go ahead this Saturday if the weath-er is good. The 200-lap fundraiser, dubbed Race4Jase, is still to be held at Pro Karts in Tahunanui, with the $180 per team entry fee going to Jason for his fight.

‘Cost effective’ parking becomes a realityFINALLY HERE: Deputy mayor Tim King “touches up” the car park lines painted along Queen St in Richmond last week. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Just hours remaining to win our front pageVoting closes at midnight tonight for the Waimea Weekly’s first major facebook competition. We have been amazed at the response to the win our front page competition, with the three finalists selected last week. The paper now has over 500 “friends”, a number we hope will grow as more people become aware that we have a facebook page. Tracey Aindow would like to see the Waimea College 10A and U14 rugby team on the front page, Helen Campbell would like to see Desti-

nation Nelson Lakes on the front page and Tina Holland would like to promote Girl Guiding on the front page of the Waimea Weekly. To vote for Tracey, Helen or Tina simply go to our facebook page and like the post that corresponds with their story or email [email protected] with your choice. Do it by tomorrow and your favourite could be on the front page of Tasman’s number one news-paper. At the time of print Tracey was in the lead with 146 votes.

It became a pet project for deputy mayor Tim King and late last week he could finally cross it off his list.Car park spaces have at long last been painted along Queen St in Richmond, a job Tim has spent several years campaigning to get done. “It was my brother that actually raised it with me about five years ago so I’ve been rais-ing it [with council] from time to time since then.”Tim believed having these structured car spaces along the main street was a good idea, as it would make more use of the space available. “It’s also more cost effective than trying to find more parks.”A number of spaces have also been added to areas that were formally no parking, including the spot in front of Sundial Square. “It’ll be nice to be able to park on the main street rather than park and then walk to where you want to go,” says Tim.The car parking spaces were often put on the back burner because of discus-sions around the upgrade of Queen St, but Tim says as this has been pushed back the lines were put down to suffice in the interim.

When home brewer Dale Hol-land first tasted his Belgian Pale Ale he was a pretty happy man – when that same brew won him a national award, he couldn’t be-lieve his good fortune. But the good news was only just beginning for Dale, who this Friday will see his award win-ning beer flow from taps around the region thanks to local brew-ery, Sprig & Fern. “I’m just so excited about it, it’s been an amazing experience seeing what it takes to produce a beer in quantities like this,” says Dale.Dale has only been brewing beers seriously for a little over a year and often pops into the Sprig & Fern Brewery in Rich-mond for ingredients and ad-vice. Late last year, with feedback from the Sprig & Fern’s head brewer, Tracy Banner, Dale per-fected a Belgian Pale Ale that took out the honours at the So-ciety of Beer Advocates Nation-al Homebrew Competition in Auckland. Dale’s brew won the Belgian Pale Ale category, Best in Class (Belgian and French Ales), and then went on, against

300 entrants to take out the overall Best Beer award. “The judges liked the way I’d created something a bit different – putting a New Zealand spin on a Belgian Pale Ale by using lo-cally grown Motueka hop flow-ers,” he says. Tracy and fellow Sprig & Fern Brewery co-owner David Bar-rett were so impressed with Dale’s award winning brew they offered him the opportunity to scale his recipe up to com-mercial quantities, giving beer

lovers the chance to try it as a limited release at Sprig & Fern taverns throughout the Nelson region. Tracy and Dale, a programmer in his day job, have worked to-gether on the recipe for the big-ger brew. Tracy says it’s been a real buzz for them to make Dale’s beer and to see him get a taste of commercial brewing. Dale’s Belgian Ale will be launched in all five Sprig & Fern taverns at 4pm, Friday 24 June.

Hey, thanks for reading our paper. Have you got a story? Give us a call on 544 9037

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the US has awarded the all-new Hyundai Elan-tra a “top safety pick”, achieving the highest rat-ing of “Good” in all crash test categories including front, side, rollover and rear crash protection. In order to be consid-ered for an IIHS “top safety pick,” a vehicle must also feature Electronic Stability Control (ESC). “Elantra safety has improved tre-mendously over the years with the vehicle now earning IIHS’ top safety distinction,” said Da-vid Zuby, the IIHS’ chief research officer. “The big things the automakers have done to improve crashworthiness are designing better front crush zones to manage crash energy, stronger occupant compartments to limit intrusion, and stronger roofs to better protect people in rollovers.”

The all-new Elantra launches in New Zealand this month. “Clearly this new model will be a winner here,” said the Chief Operating Officer of Hyun-dai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau. “This Elantra

is pushing the compact category to offer innovation, content and style - characteristics so often missing from the competition.” “It proves that incredible fuel econ-omy as standard, tremendous lux-

ury and convenience features, and cutting-edge design should be the expectation at an accessi-ble price,” said Mr Ruddenklau. The new Elantra is much-awaited in the USA, already winning a string of awards and accolades including: Residual Value Award – ALG; 2011 Best New Car - about.com; 2011 Best New Model – Kiplinger; Top 10 Cars to Look Forward to in 2011 - carsdirect.com.

LETTERSTO THE EDITORWith regards to Leanne Gambell's letter (Waimea Weekly 15 June) I'd like to add my thoughts; I definitely see her point and also see yours, but on a slightly different note I'd like to say it would be much appreciated by myself, plus I'm sure countless other like-minded people, if you are able to place such articles (anything containing photos of dead animals) on an inside page with an easily visible warning on the front page stating the page number to be avoided, as we animal lovers have a hard time viewing such photos - people are usually warned if disturb-ing images are about to pop up on TV news so it would be great to have the same warning for the newspaper. I recognize that you are entitled to report on anything you wish but it just comes down to consideration really. It was unavoidable to see the photo of the deer when picking up the paper last week and once it's seen it stays in your mind, not pleasant for many of us. I very much enjoy the Waimea Weekly, always a very positive paper to read and will be grateful if you can take my suggestion on board.Deborah Sims, Richmond.

Congratulations for standing up to Leanne Gam-bell’s letter last week. It is great to see kids getting out in the scrub and learning hunting and bush skills from an early age. Presumably she would have us all as ‘couch potatoes’!D.C. Honeybone, Murchison.

An excellent reply by the Editor to Leanne Gam-bell’s letter re the picture of young children with a “very dead deer”. I looked at it from the oth-er way thinking how great it is to see children out there learning life skills. They get to see the devastation to the land the deer, goats, pigs and possums etc do. They also know how to love and respect animals as they often have pets of their own. It is important for children to understand the real world - we have enough PC as it is.C Win, Murchison.

Being one of 200 teenagers attending a multi-cultural school thousands of miles from home has been the expe-rience of a lifetime for two Richmond teenagers.Former Waimea College students Aaron Clements, 17, and Ben Nistor, 18, have both been involved with the United World College, which is made up of 13 schools spread across the world.Ben has recently returned to Nelson after completing his second year in Hong Kong, while Aaron came home last week on an end-of-year break from Canada. He will be returning for his second year at the end of August.Being around a large number of teenagers from across the globe has been an amazing experience for both the young men. “It’s a lot different to anything that you get from a normal exchange or being in your own country at school, it’s completely unique,” says Aaron.In fact, there aren’t many teenagers in Nelson that would ever have the experiences and the opportunities Ben and Aaron have had.Christmas in Lebanon was amazing for Aaron simply because it was so different to normality. “The really cool thing about being in an environment like this is that it opens up so many doors, you have contacts everywhere. It makes the world a smaller place in a lot of ways,” says Ben.Having this experience overseas has taught the teenagers how easy it is to travel, once you get outside the “bubble.”Despite experiencing an enormous amount of culture overseas, both Ben and Aaron say they enjoyed coming back to New Zealand and especially Nelson. “I really miss the country, leaving home and your family and not seeing them at all for a year and then coming back is really cool, I

got a bit of a rush to be back in my home town and see all the familiar faces,” says Aaron.The two teenagers, who have maturity beyond their years, believe travelling has opened their eyes to how small New Zealand is, in a positive way of course. Despite this expan-sive travelling at such a young age, Ben and Aaron believe they won’t have “itchy feet” in the future. “I’d travel but I’d still like to end up living in New Zealand, I love Nelson,” says Aaron.“I wanted to travel beforehand but having spent two years abroad and done so much that I never would have

dreamed of, I’m kind of over that travel bug and I’m quite happy to come back and settle down a bit,” adds Ben.Both say they definitely grew up a lot being away from their family. Becom-ing more independent and gaining a

“global education” are just two of the things they will take from the experience.There were many differences and ways of life to overcome for the teenagers, as being in such a di-verse environment was unlike anything they had ever done before. Even making conversation was difficult at the start because everyone was so di-verse, says Ben. “It’s also another experience for New Zealand students because there are one or two of us sent a year to those schools, and there are 13 schools, so there’s almost no chance that you’re go-ing to have another New Zealander at school,” says Aaron.Ben now has a seven month gap year until univer-sity starts next year so he will be spending the rest of the year volunteering and getting a bit of paid work.Aaron will be heading back to Canada in August but will need to do 80 hours of community service here before the term starts. He had contemplated going to Christchurch to help with the earthquake recovery, but says he will stick around here instead. For both Aaron and Ben, spending time overseas

studying has changed their lives.“I wouldn’t say it totally changed direction, I think it broadened it in a lot of ways. You suddenly realise you don’t have to stay in New Zealand, there are actually heaps of opportunities all around the world, you just have to be aware of them and in the know-how and comfortable to do it,” says Ben.Aaron says he now has a huge range of options as he pre-pares for further study. “It’s basically limited to whoever accepts me, I no longer feel personally limited.”The pair encourage anyone else in the region to take the steps they have and look into what the United World Col-lege can offer. “Especially if they have a real interest in global issues or want to learn about another culture, be-cause this is a prime opportunity to be able to be enriched with all those aspects,” says Ben.

wife from that, so they’re all but qualified fire fighters now,” says Simon.The station has become a focal part of the village, as the com-munity sees it as an investment in their future, says Simon. “There has been a lot of money spent here, it’s an investment, and so to see that put into the community is a massive input because you don’t see anybody else building new buildings like this, no one can afford it.”The new building is spacious and more user-friendly accord-ing to the brigade, who love that it’s built for purpose com-pared to their previous home. “The old station was built and then it was added on to. You out-grow something like that.”The station currently has 17 fire fighters and Simon says he’s al-ways on the look out for more volunteers. “It’s really hard to recruit people that live and work in the village, because we’re not far from town, there isn’t a lot of employment out here. One of the newer guys is a mechanic at the garage but the others are self-employed.”If you are interested in becom-ing a Wakefield volunteer fire fighter, contact 541-8110.

Every second Monday night a group of local women gather at Richmond Church of Christ to spend time together creating beautiful craft pro-jects and building friendships. The long running craft group, Women Con-necting, provides members with an opportunity to learn craft skills and techniques, working on easy to tackle projects in a fun and supportive environment. “We aim to make useful items that can be com-pleted in each two hour session,” says coordinator Margarette Sellars. “All of our craft projects are fairly simple and we provide the proper equip-ment to ensure that they look awesome when completed. Some of our more craft-challenged ladies have been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to create something really beautiful.”

While the main purpose of the group is to create craft items, it also provides a chance for women of all ages to be inspired, and to work alongside each other, creating friendships and providing encouragement and support. “Like our name says, we’re really all about women connecting,” says Margarette. Most of the sessions are led by group members and occasionally Ruth Goodale from Stampin' Plus comes along to offer expert advice and ideas. The group meets every first, third and fifth Monday from 7pm to 9pm and costs are kept to a minimum thanks to generous sponsors. A gold coin donation is appreciated and there is occasionally a small cost for mate-rials. If you are interested in joining the group, please call Margarette on 547-2148 during the evening.

Local students will get a safety message from one of New Zealand’s most successful V8 supercar drivers next week.Greg Murphy will be in town next Mon-day and Tuesday to promote the ‘Murph in Schools’ programme which aims to keep young driver, their passengers and other road users safe. Greg will share the lessons he has learnt in the high speed world of competitive motor racing, along with the importance of road safety and the impact young drivers have on our roads, to students at Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls.The programme is in its fourth year and is aimed at bringing the road safety message to schools in an attempt to curb unnecessary road accidents in

the age group most at risk – young drivers.The presentation will cover how young drivers can improve their own driving skills and stay

safe on the road including respect for other road users, being aware of what’s on the road, driving conditions and in car distractions. The general public will also have the opportunity to meet with Murph on Monday evening, 27 June, at an informal gathering organised by the Nelson branch of the MTA, an organi-sation Murph is proud to be associated with. This is to be held at the Suburban Club in Tahunanui from 6.30pm. Tickets

cost $10 and are available from Top of the South Services, Brads Smash Repairs and Nelson Bays Suzuki and Subaru.

Lights installed to improve accessWaimea College has been looking for another access point for some time which will provide an easier entrance to the special education facility and the gym.Tasman District Council has worked with the college to find a suitable location, which has been pinpointed at the Nelson end of the school, opposite Arbor-Lea Ave on Salisbury Rd.Both the TDC and Waimea College wanted to provide a safe facility for all road users, and

found it wasn’t appropriate to have just a drive way, so a set of lights are due to be installed.These aditional signals will provide a safe turn-ing point for vehicles entering the school and will also provide a pedestrian crossing. “This fits the strategic plan we had for the area and is appropriate because Salisbury Rd is an arterial road,” says council transportation manager Gary Clark. The project would hopefully be complet-ed in three months.

Welcome to our June editionIt’s great to have had some fine weather, but it definitely feels like winter is now on its way. From the minutes of our Community Asso-ciation meeting this month:BMX Track – we need a good spell of fine weather to enable us to make more progress with the track, although we have noted that some keen bmxers are us-ing the track just as it is. As part of Arbor Week Room 10 from the school have been planting trees around the back area of the track, these look great - thanks for all the work everybody.Cycle Way – a reminder to eve-ryone who is interested, to please come to the Cycle Trails Trust meeting at the Sprig & Fern on Tuesday 21 June at 6pm. Mural – this is still underway although we do need some fine warm weather to allow us to get the sealer and undercoat on. This

may not happen now until Au-gust/September, as we need the wall to be very dry when we paint it. Village Green – In between the rainy days and showers the gar-dens in the village green have been given a spruce up by Deb-bie and Pauline. Thank you - we appreciate all the work that you have done. While work was being done a kind gentleman offered some peony plants that he no longer required. These have been planted in the gardens, thank you for these plants. Also we take this opportunity to thank John for keeping the green nicely mowed.Thanks to the businesses that sup-port our newsletter each month.We look forward to seeing eve-ryone at our AGM, which will be held next month, 5 July, at the earlier time of 7pm at Brightwater School.Your Community Association

One of Brightwater School’s new entrant classes has been learning about artists.Claude Monet painted pictures of flowers and gardens, and in this picture Tom Appleton (above) is painting daisies using sponges and brushes. Reichen in Room 13 said “The daisy paintings made us think about sum-mer. We feel happy when we look at them.” Students also studied New Zealand artist, Shane Cotton. Libby said “His painting made us think about winter. The colours make us feel sad and cold.” Callum said “We used warm colours on the stormy background. We used sponges and card to make our paintings.” Allen Madox is also a New Zealand artist.Lily said “We liked the bright colours on the lines. We made our lines withcard and brushes.” James said “We used the primary colours and mixed them to make secondary colours.

“King of the Kumaras”Local Brightwater garden enthusiasts Charlie Symonds (left) and John recently dug up this MONSTER at their Redwood Valley patch, the exact location of which re-mains undisclosed. This impressive orange kumara weighs in at a hefty 3KG exactly.... that’ll do a couple of meals.... The secret to their growing success...well they were a bit cagey, but the words Super, Blood and Bone and a local nursery supplier managed to roll off the tongue.... and you must be patient for about 5 months til you harvest it... And if you look carefully it has the characteristics of a giant foot...

St Paul’s Community Church, Bright-waterAt the western end of Brightwater is com-munity asset that has a long association with the district. In fact it has been there right from the beginning of settlement and like the district it has seen many changes. It is Brightwaters local church and like the community, the Church is made up of a wide diverse group of peo-ple who believe belonging to a Church is rewarding both for individuals as well as the larger community. Their aim is to know Jesus and to make Him known as they celebrate community and seek to enhance it. Just as people like different flavours of ice cream so they all have dif-ferent tastes of worship styles. Therefore there are two different styles of worship services on every Sunday; one which is vibrant, contemporary style and another more contemplative and reflective one. You are warmly welcomed to come and enjoy and be part of the Brightwater Community. Community Mid Winter DinnerAs a way of contributing to the wider Brightwater Community each year St Paul’s hold a Community Mid Winter dinner for the retired people in the dis-trict. If you live in the district and are retired you are invited to come and en-joy good food, fellowship and entertain-ment on Friday the 15th July at St Paul’s Church Hall. All you need to do is RSVP by Monday 11 July by ringing Rona 5423080. This is a free meal put on with the help of the generosity of the district. Of course if you are younger and would love to get in on the action either by do-nating food, or helping on the day then give our church office a ring 542 3694.

Friday night’s Crystal ball is gathering momentum, but still no one has been able to select and maintain the envelope that has the $1000 mystery weekend or a local scenic flight in it. As the cash on offer gets up, most members seem to want the cash rather than the envelope, which could have the major prize, or equally, it may have a bag of chips or peanuts. On May 20, ticket number 15 took the envelope

and won the Nelson Building Society Voucher worth $100. One week later, ticket number 15 took the $50 cash offered. On June 3, ticket number 13 took the $40 cash offered. On June 10, ticket number 60 couldn’t resist the money and won $40. Ticket number 33 missed out of the $1000 envelope when they decided the temptation of the cash was too great. Instead they made $55.

The annual subscription has been set and subs are rolling in. This year the Club is honouring all of its members, who give us there birth date, an email and current home address, with a $20 birthday voucher.This breaks down to some pretty mean figures, a couple’s subscription for existing members is $50 .

Now take away the birthday vouchers at $20 and the yearly sub works out at $ 10 a couple or $5 per person. Why wouldn`t you want to join? Even if you decide to join as new members, the joint sub for a couple is $70 for the year, now take away the two birthday vouchers $40, and all it really has cost you is $30

a couple. Great isn`t it? Sounds to good to be true. Well it isn`t, and because of the success of the birthday vouchers, the Club is asking that members only redeem them on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. We can also cater for lunches on Friday, Saturday or Sunday if that would suit you better.

John Allan wins election unopposedJohn Allan was back in his presidency chair, after winning the election, unopposed, on the weekend.Vice-president Jan Phipps also returned to office unopposed.John Oakley and new boy Dave Jordan did not have to have an election and they are back on the board. The executive had only the six required put their names forward and after it was confirmed that Ken Smith, Lewis Della Bosca and Rod Penn would serve a two year term and Wayne Bowen, Robert Barnett and Terry Beach would serve a one year term.John says he was happy to go unopposed, despite a small percentage of the members voting at the special general meeting.He says he is confident of a bright future at Club Waimea.“We have a wonderful opportunity to pull together and put our differences behind us and continue supporting and growing our club. Never before in our history have we been closer to gaining a membership of 2000, this would increase the size of our family, which will spread the load and make every goal set much more achievable - to be the hub and the place to go in Richmond,” John said to the members on the weekend.

“Things are falling in to place” for the club as groups from out of town use the top-class facility for conferences and functions. John says members are the greatest form of advertising and should recommend the club to employers, friends and relatives so the club can “compete for the elusive dollar.”Former Rutherford Hotel chef Jim Lillico has gone a long way in steering the club in to the right direction, with tantalising dishes and meals at an affordable price. “It’s a new venture for him and getting things going there is good.”The conference facilities at the club are at an all time high with Massey Univeristy using the facilities at the club for exams eight weeks a year, the Environment Court has their hearings at the club. “There’s never too many.”John says he’s enjoying his role at the club. “It’s a helluva lot of work,” the former Nelson Bays Rugby Union president says. “I’m down there every day of the week. There’s always little things that have to be attended to. “I think the majority of members are happy.”

On June 2, member number 1321 was here and collected a welcoming $400. But in the weeks previous, and after, number 1168, number 963, number 1352 and number 300 all missed out on the Members Draw jackpot, just because they were absent on the night. Remember, you have to be in to win. The Members Draw has risen to $400 again this week.

NATIONAL TOURNAMENT: Rhonda Bellis, Jean McKenzie, Mary Palmer, Mary Jordan, Better Henderson, Lyn Sloper, Pat Carrick-Clarke, Linda Carrick, Hilary Ferris and Pat Stade are the Club Waimea ladies competing next week in the Clubs New Zealand women’s indoor bowls national tournament held at Club Waimea, Hope Hall and Warnes Indoor Bowls Stadium in Stoke. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Club to host national bowls tournament The ClubsNZ National Women's Indoor Bowls Championship is coming to Club Waimea in two weeks. The competition runs from July 3 to July 7.Two years ago Linda Carrick and her mother, Pat Stade, won the pairs title. Linda says she hopes to do it again and is entered in all three disciplines, singles, pairs and fours. “We've been knocking on the door for the last four years, so it'd be nice to keep that consistency going.” “It's nice to have the members of the club coming in to watch, and it intro-duces indoor bowls to them. Everybody is welcome. There's no charge to come in and have a look.”Club Waimea bowlers have had out-standing results in recent years with the fours finished runners up and a pairs combination finished third equal, on

top of Linda and Pat's gold.Linda is also tournament convener and says there will be a lot of pressure on her because of the workload. “But once play starts, hopefully everything runs smoothly. I'd like to think I'll do as well as I have in the past.”She expects Jean McKenzie, who was re-cently selected in the South Island team, to perform well after a strong start to the year, highlighted by a consistent show-ing at the New Zealand champs in Wel-lington recently.While it may be different combinations that star this year, Linda says she would “love” to win on home soil.She expects Invercargill's bowlers to be the team to beat.Club Waimea were announced to host part of the tournament when the Rich-

mond Club in Christchurch was dam-aged in the Earthquake. “It's good for the club exposure. It's a financial boost as well. It enables more players to be in-volved.”The secret to a successful tournament is being able to “maintain concentration”. “It's just a matter of concentrating and keeping your fluids up.” Fours games can go for more than four hours.Linda says the indoor bowls numbers have dropped slightly this year but hoped the tournament enticed more interest. The tournament will see 250 women competing.There will be delicious food on offer at Club Waimea throughout the tourna-ment, so feel free to come try some of chef Jim Lillico's delicious food and wit-ness the country's top indoor bowlers.

Club Waimea Car RallyThe object of a car rally, apart from having a lovely Sunday afternoon drive, is for the organ-iser/course plotter to outwit the competitors in an effort to get them going around in ever-increasing, or for that matter decreasing, circles chasing their own tail. This year’s annual Club Waimea Car Rally, however, proved that the competing crews seemed to have got a handle on the way the current course plotters warped mind works. Despite him throwing in some new traps and tricks, crews proved that adults can, up to a certain point, follow simple instruc-tions and, whilst some had to retrace their steps at various times, most managed to complete the course with a minimum of fuss and bother and within a reasonable time-frame. Taking the price of fuel into consideration, this year’s course had been plotted over a shorter more condensed route that had crews meandering their way around a fair proportion of the streets in Stoke, whilst also taking in a small area in, and around, Tahunanui and Monaco. While this type of event naturally brings out the com-petitive edge in people, fun is the name of the game, and although reports indicated that there were some rather “heated in-car discussions” as crews navigated their way over the 50km two hour journey, the only major compliant seemed to be in regard to dehydration setting in. Despite this, the general consensus was that most had a ball and enjoyed the challenge despite the odd pitfall - it couldn’t have been too bad, no-one was yelling for a divorce lawyer at the end of the afternoon! Results, all names withheld to pro-tect the guilty and embarrassed: 1st: T - Jacked, 2nd: Brains In The Back, 3rd: Red 2.4, 4th: Lost & Found, 5th: Two Bob, 6th: Mandarin Ford Team, 7th: Two Old B’s, 8th: Eagles, 9th: Two Brothers.

Help us build it!

It’s often said that volunteers make the world go round but they also con-tribute massively to our economy says Volunteer Nelson.And this week is all about recognising all volunteers do in our community, helping people, organisations, and of-ten saving lives. This week is National Volunteer Awareness Week – and with thousands of volunteers in Nelson across art, health, social services and sports – it is the perfect opportunity to thank the wonderful work our vol-unteers do.In this feature on Volunteer Aware-ness Week, dozens of local groups have shown their appreciation for their volunteers by giving a small mes-sage of thanks.Jude McNabb of Volunteer Nelson

says volunteers contribute 8.7 per cent of the national GDP, but it is what they contribute to each community that makes them so special.“Volunteers make a huge difference to our community and for all the right reasons.”Some of the reasons behind people volunteering are learning new skills, getting to know a new community, to give back to an organisation or club, pass on skills to children or for some people it is a good reason for them to get out of bed and give them some-thing to do.In Nelson, we also celebrate the work our youth volunteers do with the an-nual Youth Volunteer Awards, which is now in its seventh year. Approxi-mately 80 young people have been

NELSON REGION HOSPICE TRUST

Volunteers allow hospice to extend the services we are able to provide.

Hospice supports over 300 patients and families and families per year. We offer a very comprehensive and extensive health service with limited government funding (currently less than 65%).

Volunteers allow our staff to extend their own roles and thus do more for patients.

The wide variety of skills, abilities and experiences from so many volunteers allows us to meet more patient needs – particularly if there is something special which patients wish to achieve in the time left to them.

Hospice values volunteer contribution by funding a paid role exclusively to manage volunteers (usually via a grant). The cost of this is a fraction of what we gain from all the time and expertise offered by volunteers.

Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers - all 370 of you!

Hospice has just opened a new furniture shop which is proving hugely successful. Manager Wayne (5481587) would LOVE to hear from anyone interested in helping!

Why does Hospice need so many volunteers?

If you have a free day each week and enjoy the company of older people we would love to hear from you.

NZ RT2 (NZ Response Team 2) is the Nelson-Tasman urban search and rescue team. All members are volunteers,

with a wide variety of backgrounds and skills. The team attends approximately 150 training hours per year,

specialising in rope rescue, general and technical rescue, urban search, storm and flood response.

The Nelson Tasman Emergency Management Office, along with NCC and TDC, would like to thank the team

for their commitment and enthusiasm, and the wonderful team spirit that exists.

Thank you for selflessly dropping everything to assist Christchurch following the September and February

earthquakes. The team had trained for years, but hoped it would never have to put it into practice for real.

The level of support and encouragement received from the joint councils, the community, employers, and not the least, their families, is testament to the esteem in which the team is held, and we are proud of you all

and the excellent job that you do.

for an award with the ceremony being held at The New Hub this Thursday night. It is a way to recongnise the job younger people do, and to make older people aware of what younger people do says Jude. “It is to also break down bar-riers from an organisation and encourage them to take on young people as volunteers, who have a lot of great skills, using computers and things like that.”Volunteer Nelson is a not for profit organisation estab-

lished in 1994 to support in all aspects of volun-teerism. They help match individual interests with groups who need volunteers and ensure that local community groups have the people and resources they need to function well. They also advocate in the community on behalf of volunteers, provide train-ing for both volunteers and for the groups they work for and promote volunteering to the community at large. Of course if you are keen to volunteer but just

don’t know to what yet, give the team at Volunteer Nelson a call on 546 7681 or email [email protected] to make an appoint-ment with them. You will go through an interview process, to see what options there are available. They will then refer you to a suited organisation. To find out more visit www.volunteernelson.org.nz

A few ‘yeah right’ thoughts: if I drink and drive I’ll be OK – yeah right! Actually you are an idiot, please don’t do it because I don’t want you veering off your lane head on to me. I’m bullet proof – yeah right – in 1992 I was up in the mountains of North Iraq late one night watching our driver pull out his Uzi as we came across an a group of men holding their AK47’s. I still clearly remember thinking the last thing I wanted to see was Mar-don fire his submachine gun because that would mean bullets coming back towards me. I knew I was not bullet proof – and yet sadly, today, many people think they are. Years ago I read about the psycho-logical term ‘personal fable’, which is the tendency young people have to think that the bad things which happen to other people won’t/can’t happen to themselves. ‘If I take drugs I won’t get hooked’ kind of thinking. And it would seem the idea of ‘per-sonal fable’ is not limited only to youth. Look at the men who drive the kind of car that is meant to com-pensate for something, who think people will notice them – yeah right – we notice the car but can’t actu-

ally see the driver. And what about when the fairer sex spend hours get-ting the right dress, hours getting ready and spend the whole time at the party wondering what oth-ers think of their outfit when most other people are thinking the same thing.Parents, please teach your children that none of us are bullet proof. The aim is not to bring up a bunch of timid young people, but to teach

about consequences for actions and that there is nothing stupid about using safety gear or making wise choices. The recent TV advert reminding parents to continue teaching their teens driving skills once they get their restricted drivers license is poignant. Sadly it seems parents are not taking this responsibil-ity seriously and sending

subtle ‘I’m bullet proof ’ messages to their youth.How many parents tell their teen-agers to never be drunk behind the wheel but themselves still drink and drive? If you are going to have one drink of an alcoholic beverage, even just a glass of beer or wine, and then drive, you are teaching your teens they are bullet proof and that there are no consequences for their ac-tions. Why not hire a taxi or have a sober driver instead, and prove you understand none of us are bullet proof. Enjoy the Rugby World Cup safely. God Bless, Jon.

Waimea Old Boys 2011 www.wobrfc.co.nz

The most significant moment of Waimea Old Boys en-try to the Car Company division one finals happened no where near Jubilee Park, the host of its physical final round-robin match against minor premiers Marist on Saturday.Trudging off a sodden Jubilee Park, Stables Waimea division one players looked heartbroken. They had given everything in pursuit of the semi finals, but lost a game that would have ensured their entry into the post season, 9-8.The only hope left was an unlikely loss by Riwaka to the winless Huia in Motueka. But as the Waimea players made their way to the changing rooms club president Duane Whiting was working the phones. As he hung up and headed towards the changing rooms he had a spring in his step and a smile on his face.Waimea was the benefactor of a miracle. Not an unde-serving one though.Waimea threw their bodies on the line on Saturday, dominating the first half and rattling the table-topping Wakatu Hotel Marist. An early fight showed the inten-sity the home side were playing with and when right-winger Ben Eder beat three defenders to score in the corner Waimea looked well on the way to an upset. With the wind at their backs and an eight-point half time lead was not enough though.Marist star first five James Proctor slotted three sec-ond-half penalty kicks to take the win and with them momentum to this Saturday’s semi final, where the two sides will meet again, only this time in Tahunanui.Duane says he would like to see hundreds of Waimea supporters come along to show their support.“We need everyone there, it is a huge game and Marist are pretty strong so we will need to be on top of our game and a big vocal crowd would really lift the boys.”The day will turn into a big double-header for both clubs with the curtain raiser to the semi final a clash between the top two sides in the second division, Waimea and Marist. Kick off for the curtain raiser is 12.30pm with the big semi final kicking off at 2pm.

In what could be described as the worst under foot and over head conditions of the appalling rugby weather sea-son so far the Waimea Old Boys Senior division three team faced Rangers, who are a new face in the competi-tion this year.Rangers who are sitting forth on the table prior to the match up knew they had to really step it up this week to beat Waimea. However, after tipping the top of the table last week by beating Marist they perhaps thought it was their duty to topple this week’s table leaders in Richmond.This was not to be, the style of rugby was surprisingly

open for the conditions, with running and open play en-suring the fast boys out wide didn’t catch hypothermia in the driving rain. The scoreboard’s first movement was to Waimea with a brilliant forward’s try to the Hooker Lava Oneone who showed enormous strength to carry a couple of Ranger players over the chalk with him. With Waimea’s usual kicker absent this week the duties fell on the shoul-der of halfback Hadley Paterson and he didn’t disappoint 7-0 to the home side.If you have been reading my articles the following will not be a surprise when the next try went again to “the wheels out wide’ – Lisette Paea, however not making the job easy for Hadley and the try on the right-hand was not convert-ed. Rangers took control for the next phase of the game, after five minutes pressure on the Waimea line from some good forward play they broke through to set the score-board at 12-5. Wet conditions mixed with a little swirling wind meant the kicking game would always be difficult; the miss of the next penalty opportunity by Waimea endorsed this. The first half came to an end with the Waimea tight five sus-

taining pressure on the Rangers line resulting in a classic forward team try and the lucky person to emerge with his arms punched high in the air was captain Marc Hunter. Handy location aided Hadley to slot this one over the up-rights; at the beak the score read 19-5 to Waimea.The second half started with a much more spirited Rang-ers pack, much of first 10 minutes had the possession stakes firmly in their favour. Waimea got their hands on the pill and regained some control, from a mid field set play game-maker John Taylor opened up the Rangers de-fence and was rewarded with a solid try. With Hadley now sidelined John polished the try off with his own conver-sion. Waimea then appeared to sit back on their haunches and again allowed Rangers to control the run of play, with a much-deserved try awarded the Ranger pack for not giving up, with the conversion secured the score now sat at 26-12. Superliquor Richmond Waimea division two beat Ri-waka 25-3, with the highlight a hat trick to number eight Scott Lines.Stables Waimea Women lost to Central 17-12.

IN THE FAMILY: The Johnston family, from left, Kirby, Norm, Ethan and Stacy have grown up in the Wanderers Sports Club environment. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

The Johnston’s really are a Wander-ers family through and through.Norm and his wife Vikki have been involved with the club for over 30 years and their five sons have also come through the rugby ranks at the Brightwater club.Norm began playing for Wanderers once he returned from Lincoln Uni-versity in 1980 and played through to 1989, with his squad in the sen-ior grade throughout these years. “In 1980 we won relegation against Huia to go up into senior A, which was a real buzz.”He also played for Nelson Bays in 1980 and then again from 1982 to 1984.Norm’s eldest son Brook played junior rugby at the club but isn’t in-volved in the sport any more. Next in line are Stacy, 22, Ethan, 20 and Kirby, 19, who all play in the divi-sion two side. Youngest son Riley played junior rugby for Wanderers

and is currently in the Waimea Col-lege 1st XV. And to put the cherry on the top, Norm’s wife Vikki plays netball for the club, and has done for the past 26 seasons.Seeing his sons move through the rugby grades at Wanderers is really special according to Norm. “It’s a buzz having the three of them play-ing in the one team and playing to-gether, for the club I played for as well.”The boys are all very close and say they love playing together and get a kick out of playing the same posi-tions as their dad. Norm was a back and played sec-ond five and centre, and they all play in the backs too. “You watch them in a game and they interchange with each other,” says Norm.Being team mates and brothers adds that extra dimension to the game, ensuring the Johnston boys are a force to be reckoned with on the pitch.

Richmond Athletic's Chatham Cup run has come to a sudden halt.A disappointing second half performance crashed the party at Joe Green's house as Richmond sur-rendered a one goal advantage at the break, against Robbie's Premier League side Coastal Spirit, to slump to a 3-5 loss.The afternoon weather was not welcoming news for the hundreds of football supporters that braved the muddy Jubilee Park on Sunday, but they were rewarded with an entertaining game with plenty of goals and passion. Ben scored his second of the match ten minutes before half-time, finding himself alone at the right post. Feisty forward Wesley Olea gained the lead in the last play of the half.But Richmond's fitness took its toll in the second half. Coastal, who have been playing in a league higher all season, took complete control of the game and scored three unanswered goals, one from a penalty when Daryl Fenemor was sent off.Joe put the result down to some “mistakes” in the second spell and not following through with the game plan that was implemented at the break.But the side will refocus on winning the Nelson Pine Industries first division and have quickly moved to replace the inspirational captain with the club set to announce the capture of former Southend United defender Che Wilson. Che, a former team-mate of Joe, arrives in Nelson this Tuesday.Despite rejecting claims last week of Che's im-pending arrival, coach Steve Bignall says he is not satisfied with the depth in his squad, who lost its first game of the season. “I obviously want to strengthen the squad and ex-pand the squad a bit. It's not big enough,” he says.Che is a former professional footballer and has played for Norwich City, Bristol Rovers and made 106 appearances for Southend United before end-ing his professional career in 2008 with an achilles injury.Che's main aim is to develop coaching contacts and could potentially shift to New Zealand long term if the opportunity arises. He is also likely to fill Joe's coaching roles with junior clubs and at Waimea College. But if his achilles holds up, he will slot in to the center of the defense. “He's got a lot of experience and he can talk the

BASKETBALL: Jelena Vucinic’s New Zealand Tall Ferns have fallen to Brazil 62-73 in their lat-est match at the four-nations women’s basketball tournament in Xiangyuan, China. New Zealand have lost all three of their games to date in China, going down 77-70 to the hosts and then 79-74 to Australia. The former Waimea College student was selected on the back of her freshman year at Louisiana Tech.

boys through it, if he is to play,” says Joe. Defender Aaron Robins showed promise at right-back in the defeat and will be another option at the back alongside new recruit, former Nelson Suburbs captain, Matthew Elliott. Matthew was man of the match in the 3-0 victory over FC Nelson College two weeks ago. Former Si-erra Leonean national team player Johnny Gben-da-Charles is also likely to feature in the coming weeks, once the rugby season ends.With one win from two games against Robbie's Premier League teams, Joe is confident the side will continue on in his absence and gain promo-tion. “I've got no doubts that they'll go on from this and hopefully win the playoffs. We've got more than enough good players.”Joe was unsure who would take over the captaincy armband with Nathan Jeffree out for at least two weeks with a groin injury. Nathan captained in Joe's absence in the promo-tion match last year. Ben, another experienced player, may also be rested for the side's clash against bottom of the table FC Nelson Metro on Saturday, due to his constant knee troubles.
