Building the town one block at a time

Toddler sets house alight with candleA three year-old set a Rich-mond house on fire last week but quick work from the fire brigade saved it from total ruin.The Richmond fire brigade was called to the fire at 8.22pm last Thursday night at Hunt St. When they got there the house was ablaze and the fire fight-ers got to work just in time, says its chief, Ralph Lonsdale.“It was a good save, everything went according to plan and we were able to contain the damage.”The fire was caused by a three year-old playing with a candle in a bedroom of the house, the fire quickly spread but Ralph says ac-tive and working smoke alarms saved the young family.“You can rebuild houses but you can’t rebuild peo-

ple and we are just happy the smoke alarm was work-ing and everyone got out in time.”The bedroom and some of the roof sustained severe fire damage says Ralph but it should be repairable. The

rest of the rental home suffered smoke damage.Ralph says the family was in shock when the brigade arrived and he says it pro-vides a timely re-minder for other people to be vigi-lent. “These things do happen, that’s

why we have a fire brigade, but my message would be if you have a naked flame an-ywhere in the house, watch it like a hawke. Everyone says ‘I just turned by back for a moment’ and that is sometimes all it takes, so watch it.”The brigade sent two of its trucks and worked at the home for a little over an hour.

Richmond will be getting a whole lot smaller in the coming weeks as it’s being rebuilt by a ten year-old boy.Tommy Mortimer is recreating the town entirely out of Lego blocks to fundraise for Appleby School’s coun-try fair on September 3.Tommy’s father, Ian Mortimer, came up with the idea. A self-confessed Lego-holic, Tommy was excited about the prospect.

With drawers overflowing with the plastic blocks, there will be no short-age of pieces in the Mortimer house-hold. “I have lots and lots and lots of Lego. I like Star Wars ones and I like mak-ing buildings,” says Tommy.Tommy says the entrance of the Richmond Mall will be the hard-est because he’s running out of glass windows “and it has lots of them.”

But it has not taken him long to get underway. In fact, the Waimea Weekly office only took five minutes to turn in to a small scale replica.If anyone wishes to sponsor the fair and get their business in Lego town then phone Ian on 544 6352.The fair also includes a homebrew competition and a silent auction fea-turing an extensive range of prizes.

This week we speak to young Tommy Mortimer, who is recreating Richmond out of Lego. What was your favourite thing to build out of Lego when you were younger?

Liam Corkill, Richmond.

“I used to make cars. Just play with it, race it round, make some jumps.

Bryn McNaught, Richmond.

“My dad always wanted a boy, so I think that’s why he got me Lego. But I used to make cas-tles for my Barbies and a stable for my My Little Pony.”

I was delighted to see the success of local breweries at Brew NZ and in particular that the Sprig & Fern won more awards than any other brewery in New Zealand. While the accolades should be shared by all the team, people in the industry know that the head brewer is key to producing high quality beer of distinc-tion. Congratulations Tracy Banner and I hope that a Warrington trained brewer of her calibre one day produces a good cask ale that local aficionados can enjoy.

Norman Phillips (Dr),Richmond.

Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio is in the firing line of Tasman councillor Judene Edgar, who claims his “no show” at a public meeting to discuss amal-gamation is proof he does not want to engage debate about the issue.The meeting last Thursday evening was hosted by Richmond’s Community Fo-rum and was Tasman’s third public dis-cussion on amalgamation. Submissions to the Local Government Commission’s decision to issue a draft reorganisation proposal close this Friday. The commission announced in June that it backed amalgamation of the Nelson City and Tasman District councils. Judene, who is against amalgamation, accused the Nelson mayor, an amalgamation supporter, of “running away from having to provide firm evidence of his continually changing claims of rates savings and amalgamation costs.”Aldo has expressed surprise over Judene’s statement and says he has never run away from debate and the date of the public meeting coincided with his 40th birthday celebrations.“There wasn’t much notice and I had a family event planned. I was never going to be available on that date and I never agreed to that date.”Judene has refuted that statement to Waimea Weekly and has an email chain that she says “shows the date of the meeting had been chosen to predominantly suit Aldo”. Judene also did not attend the meeting because of her son’s birthday.She says Nelson City Council is trying to shut down debate and pull the wool over the eyes of ratepayers after it recommended in its submis-sion to the LGC that “councils refrain from be-ing part of the debate prior to the public poll on

the amalgamation”.Aldo denies he is hiding anything and says Judene needs to get over herself and start think-ing of the community she represents.Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne and deputy Tim King were joined at Thursday’s meeting by

Nelson deputy mayor Ali Boswijk and city councillor Paul Matheson, the meet-ing was chaired by Nick Moore.Tim says the meeting went well with a good turnout of local Richmond resi-dents as well as a number from Dovedale, Brightwater and Nelson. “There were good presentations and some very good questions asked, particularly concerning costs and any possible impact

on rates. There is a genuine desire from people for more information from both sides and it’s important they do secure as much information as possible before making a submission.”The LGC’s draft reorganisation proposal sug-

gests a united council of 16 councillors and five community boards. Currently Nelson and Tasman both have 13 coun-cillors and Tasman has two community Boards. Tim questioned, if amalgamation does go ahead, whether Murchison would keep its one councillor under six-yearly popula-tion based representation reviews or not.“Will Murchison receive the same future protection as Golden Bay whose status as

an isolated community protected its council rep-resentation? I hope so because while community boards have a place, they cannot replace losing council representation.”Residents and groups have until 19 August to make a submission on a draft reorganisation scheme for the union of Nelson City and Tas-man District.Further information can be accessed via the Commission’s website www.lgc.govt.nz.

Hook in to trout fishing

The Tasman region might have some of the best trout fishing spots around, but don’t ask Nelson Trout Fishing Club president Ray Day where they are. While the Motueka River is a haven for trout fishing, a lot of the 60 odd members have their own “secret” spots where they say they catch the biggest fish. But with the season ready to begin on October 1, Ray is hoping to net more members.To join, phone secretary Bruce McLean on 548 0066. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Hyundai Motor New Zealand has launched anoth-er exciting model to its range - the all-new Accent hatch and sedan, further demonstrating Hyundai’s ‘New Thinking. New Possibilities.’ philosophy. The all-new Accent hatch and sedan are positioned in the light car segment, offering modern design, surprising interior space and an abundance of comfort and safety features while maintaining the delivery of advanced technology, fuel efficiency and performance.Following the ix35 compact SUV, i45 mid-sized se-dan and recently launched Elantra compact sedan, Accent is the fourth Hyundai car to join the Aus-tralian line-up showcasing the company’s signa-ture “Fluidic Sculpture” design language. Designed at Hyundai’s Namyang R&D Centre in Korea, the exterior lines project a futuristic, dynamic, and sleek stance, making Accent striking and distinc-tive at first glance. Accent’s eye-catching sculptured lines are high-lighted by Hyundai’s signature hexagonal front grille. The swept-back headlights incorporating a two-piece black bezel design and bonnet character lines provide for a unique look.The addition of a distinguishing sculptured char-acter line running through the side profile of Ac-cent combined with a cab-forward design and cou-pé-like sweeping roof line creates the impression of a larger car. Whether in hatch or sedan form, the rear of Accent is modern and uncluttered with the wide rear bumper emphasising volume and stabil-ity. The Accent hatch is finished with a sporty look-ing spoiler. The Accent hatch and sedan are powered by a 1.6-litre Gamma petrol engine. The all-aluminium four-cylinder engine delivers a peak power output of 91kW @ 6300rpm, and peak torque of 156Nm @ 4200rpm.

Testing was undertaken in Australia for the opti-mum front and rear suspension combination, to-gether with unique mapping of the control unit on the Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS). The result is an enjoyable driving experience with re-fined dynamics to handle variable Australian road conditions.Accent’s relatively long wheelbase contributes to a smooth ride with enhanced stability. A MacPher-son strut front suspension with coil springs and twin-tube gas shock absorbers provides a smooth ride and excellent road shock absorption. The rear suspension is a coupled torsion beam axle with coil springs and twin tube shock absorbers, which al-lows more efficient use of interior space.All-new Accent hatch and sedan deliver the high-est levels of safety, achieving a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. Outstanding occupant protection is a core element of Hyundai design with the Accent offering a comprehensive suite of advanced active and passive safety features to ensure driver and passenger confidence. Active safety is enhanced with the introduction of a segment first Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system. With VSM, a central ECU harmoniously integrates all the traditional active safety systems in the ve-hicle including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS) and Anti-skid Brake System (ABS) with Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS). VSM intervenes alongside ESC to help maintain vehicle control by applying a vari-able input to steering weight, helping prevent the vehicle losing control in emergency situations, such as when suddenly braking or rapidly accel-erating under asymmetric (e.g. wet or slippery on one side and dry on the other) road surface condi-tions.

Labour MP talks tax at MDF plantThe honourable David Cunliffe made a stop-over in Nelson midweek, here to talk tax with Nelson Pine Industries Limited and King Salmon employees.Labour’s economic package and tax plan were the main topics as he and local La-bour list MP Maryan Street spoke with a group of workers in each of the company’s tearooms.The main push in the economic package was Labour’s plan for workers to recieve their first $100 tax free and the hope for GST off fruit and vegetables.The feedback at both Nelson Pine and King Salmon was “bloody good,” accord-ing to David. “They are two good exam-

ples of industrial plants in the Nelson region. They are core industries in the re-gion. I think the work force here appreci-ates it.”With one eye on a possible future Labour run government, David was also getting a first hand insight in to how the companies work and their challenges. “It’s just a great chance to get an understanding about how they work and the challenges and opportunities in those industries, so that when we’re in government we can work together as partners, helping the region expand.”David says meeting employees in their work place makes the visit “very real.”

Local Civil Defence public education efforts are hitting the mark with residents in our re-gion much better prepared for emergencies than many other New Zealand communities. A national survey just released shows 37 per cent of Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough residents are fully prepared for emergencies compared with the a national average of just 18 per cent. Local residents are also more likely to be prepared at home for emergen-cies – 51 per cent compared to the national average of 32 per cent.

Nelson MP Nick Smith says he is pleased the local unemployment rate has dropped to 4.4 per cent over the past three months, despite the tight global economic environment in commenting on today’s Household Labour Force Survey statistics. It is the second lowest rate in New Zealand and is only bettered by Southland.

Apart from the odd light dusting, Nelsonians rarely have the opportunity to see snow at sea level. This goes out the window this Friday, when the region’s best skiers and snowboard-ers compete for glory at The Playhouse Cafe, on a custom built 20 foot rail. Doors open at 6pm with the riding starting at 6:30. All are welcome to attend the event, which is $10 on the door, and kids 14 and under with parents are allowed in free.

Tasman Bay Chiropractor Dr Corrian Poels-ma with his Chiropractor of the Year award for 2011. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Chiropractor wins NZ award A Richmond chiropractor was named New Zealand Chiropractor of the Year last week - an accolade that recognises his involvement with the New Zealand Chiropractors’ Association.Dr Corrian Poelsma of Tasman Bay Chiroprac-tic, who is also president of the association, was humbled by the award given by the Alumni As-sociation of the New Zealand College of Chiro-practic. “I’m a bit of an understated kind of guy so it felt a bit weird to be fair,” Corrian says. “At the same time, looking at it from the perspec-tive of my wife and my kids and my staff and my colleagues, they all had to support me when I was off doing trips keeping the association go-ing.”Corrian was a student in the college’s first ever class in 1994. Prior to this date aspiring chiro-practors had to study overseas.Corrian is a former Waimea College student and has now been a fully qualified chiropractor for the past seven years. He graduated in 1998 and worked as a chiropractor in Napier before setting up shop back in Richmond in 2002.The NZCA is the professional body that looks after the political side of chiropracting, lobby-ing to ACC and most importantly looking after its members and patients.Despite winning the award, Corrian doesn’t expect a larger surge of patients com-ing in. “I think most people know that it’s a great practice and it’s always busy.” But Corrian still finds time to juggle his prac-tice, the association and his family. “I think the only thing I struggle with is, at times, there is so much going on in my head. It’s about making sure when you’re not at work, you’re not think-ing about work.”

Just the tonic for local hairdressersTonic Hairculture con-firmed itself as Rich-mond’s leading hair salon last weekend, picking up several awards at the NZ Association of Registered Hairdressers.Tonic was the only salon in Richmond to win an award. Its senior stylist Hayleigh Hamilton won Directional Womens/Mens Fashion Cut and

the award for top Cutting Senior Stylist Overall. Ap-prentice Anna Schryvers finished runner up in the Urban Day Style.Tonic owner, Tonia Bry-don says she was rapt to see the girls do so well.“It’s always good to come away from these awards knowing that what you are doing to at the top end of the industry standard.”

80 years on Rural Women going strongIt may have taken four weeks in 1931 for Rural Women Brighwater founder Lily Hildyard to get her first member, but 80 years later its current members are celebrating the longevity of the group.Rural Women New Zealand is a charitable membership organisa-tion that supports people in rural communities through personal connections, advocacy and educa-tion and the Brightwater branch, like many others in the Tasman region, celebrated its 80th birthday recently.First created for women in country-

side corners of Waimea, the name was changed in 1949 from The Waimea Branch of Women’s Divi-sion of the Farmers Union to the much easier on the tongue Rural Women Brightwater.But the branch has changed consid-erably over the decades, according to branch president Diane Higgins. The group no longer run dances, learn how to turn a heel of a sock or sing the national anthems at meetings. Rural Women are now an integral part of the community. “We’re just keeping on keeping on, but the dynamics have changed,”

says Diane. “During the war they ran dances and knitted things for people in the war. Now, although we help in the community selling daffodils on Daffodil day and enter-taining up at the rest home, we also have a huge presence up in Welling-ton advocating with the govern-ment about the things that affect in rural communities.”Diane says it’s very important to keep a voice for the rural commu-nities, including the current amal-gamation debate.The ladies celebrated the birthday at Tea Pot Valley on Wednesday.

You can give her a hard time about her reversing skills, how she keeps losing her glasses and she’s always out socialising.BUTDon’t ever give her a hardtime about selling houses because she knows her stuff.

Guitar roadshow hits Nelson storeBeggs Musicworks owner Tim Babbage doesn’t mind cleaning up the drool on the floor in front of his guitar display, he un-derstands it.“These are very, very nice guitars at the high end of the market and people have been getting very excited by them,” he says. The guitars in question form part of the Guitar Road Show, which is currently travelling the country and in Nelson for the next week. Tim says they are amaz-ing to play and encourages Nelsonians to get down and have a try. “That’s the great thing about it, these are available to play and everyone who has played is blown away by the sound of some of these gui-tars.”The guitars cost between $1500 and $4500 but some are very rare, including a Mike Stern Signature and a Joe Satriani model. “Guitar fans are very aware of the quality, as you can see by the big drool patch on the floor in front of them,” he jokes.

After seeing off more than 60 aspiring entrants from Nelson and Marlborough, AMP regional scholarship winners Ryan Chisnall and Tom Filmer have set their sights on the world.The Waimea teenagers were announced recipients of $5000 cheques from AMP Powerhouse Financial Services as winners of the company’s Do Your Thing! scholarship project, and the pair are hoping the money can kickstart already promising sporting careers.A prize pool of more than $250,000 was invested in nation-wide talent with seven generous AMP Advisers offering regional scholarships worth up to $10,000 to extraordinary Kiwis from all walks of life with a variety of different attributes.Ryan, who came second in the New Zealand Under-19 golf championship when he was just 14 years-old and is a former New Zealand under-15 champion, will be using the money to travel to international amateurs and parts of the New Zealand pro tour.The 16 year-old Waimea College student has played golf the majority of his life. “I started playing in under-19 events when I was 13 and I’ve developed and got better and better since there,” says Ryan, who’s career is highlighted by a nine under at the Grant Clements Memorial in February. Ryan currently holds a +2 handicap, but says playing competitively throughout the year makes it harder to improve on that figure.The amateur golfer will use the scholarship to fund traveling to the 2012 World Junior Championship and competing at the Sir Bob Charles pro events throughout New Zealand.Tom, a former New Zealand junior hill climb champion, has already spent his money on a $8300 bike. “Well basically my parents have spent a lot of money on me,” says the 17 year-old. “They were supposed to buy a new car and other things but they’ve had to put that on hold because of me, so I thought

that this time I could sort of get the money and get my bike.”Tom’s short term plan is to jump on the road bike for the local Tour de Vineyards, a race that featured Hayden Roulston, amongst other professional riders, last year. Following that he will return to the mountain bike for the RaboDirect Mountain Bike National Championship being held in Nelson in January. He is targeting a top three finish.But with more money in roadbiking, the former Waimea College student is unsure where his future lays. “For now I’m keeping it open, but I think I’ll end up on the road bike because there’s more opportunities.”

A significant change occurred in July with this business shifting to new purpose built facilities in lower Queen St alongside the Club Waimea.The iconic flat roofed building in Cam-bridge Street Richmond was built towards the end of the Second World War for a partnership of three doctors who became well known and re-spected by their patients and the community at large for their “de-votion to duty”.The building was built by the past well known W.E.Wilkes Ltd firm and two chaps who worked on it were Vic Bolitho and Norm Hart, Vic (now deceased), Norm now in his eighties still resides in Richmond today.Prior to this as best I have been able to re-search is that the first Doctor to come to Nelson was a Dr McShane who in 1841 arrived on board the ship Whitby, having served as the ship’s doctor. Dr McShane purchased a section of land numbered 101 in Richmond which was in the area now named McShane Rd.During the period 1841 to 1942 as best as I can determine there perhaps had been as many as 29 Doctors that served the Rich-mond area and near surrounds.The three Doctors that I refer to prior were;Dr John Shearer, Dr Leo Hannah and Dr Bill Paterson - all having done war service before getting together as a partnership.Dr Shearer was in the Medical Corps from 1941 to 1944 in Italy and the Middle East.

Dr Hannah whose son John lives in Nel-son advises that his father was furthering his professional career in England at the outbreak of war and served in the British Army. It was during the war in the Middle East where he met Dr Shearer and was in-

vited to join in a partnership back in Richmond in 1947. Dr Hannah married Mary Mitchell in Janu-ary 1948 and Dr Shearer was their best man and his wife Moi was the Matron. Dr Bill Paterson in 1943 enlisted in the New Zealand Medi-cal Corps and gave service in the Pacific, also in Egypt and Italy re-

tiring with the rank of Major, he became the third partner in the practice about the same time as Dr Hannah. This trio forged what was to be a very friendly association and service so well received by all their patients centred around a servicing for-mula as conveyed by John Hannah. There was a three way roster, “The Clinic” meant seeing patients at the surgery, “The Inner Circle” meant travelling to visit patients in Richmond and the inner Waimea area, whilst “The Outer Circle” meant serving the patients in more remote outlying areas such as Wakefield, Tapawera and Korere.In my possession is a “Letterhead” for the practice and it certainly is typically a “black & white” document well befitting the period of those earlier times, showing as one thing the phone number of 186, this number today could well be something like 544 5186!

Time has moved on and we record that Dr John Shearer retired in 1976 from the Richmond prac-tice and did move away doing some duty on the West Coast, he returned to Richmond thereafter and died in Nelson in 1987 at the age of 70.Dr Leo Hannah retired from the practice in 1954 and set up business in Nelson, his actual retirement from the pro-fession was 1985 and he died in 2002 at the age of 88. Dr Bill Paterson retired from the practice in 1956 and moved away to Dun-edin, working also in the Canterbury and West Coast areas retiring in 1976 when he shifted to Arrowtown and lived on until age 96 when he died in Christch-urch. Since the moving away from the practice of the three doctors known as “ The Clinic” Richmond there have been many long serving Doctors taking their places among whom have been; Dr’s Bob Worley, Bernard O’Brien, Peter Malthus, Trevor Parr, David Orsbourn, Pe-ter Thomas and maybe one or two that I have missed.There is another person who for 25 years provided sterling nurses and associated services for Dr Shearer and that was Doro-thy D’Rose. Dorothy’s service began one day when during a visit to the clinic with

her two sons David and John for attention to heavy colds. Dr Shearer fussed over each of the boys having each one on his knee at different times. A remedy was prescribed, following which the doctor enquired of Dorothy, who in 1952 had just arrived in Richmond as to from where she had come and what was her work background. The

discussion led to Dr Shearer of-fering her a job, as at that very point in time he had two nurses departing for hospital nursing. This led to 25 years of dedication to duty for the Doctors and so on until 1977 when Dorothy ceased work at the Cambridge St Clinic.Spokesman Dr Peter Thomas for the new Tasman Medical Centre

states that although compared to the size of the previous building the new complex may seem extremely large, it accommo-dates as well various other complimentary healthcare professionals.

It will be the biggest show of their little lives. Thanks to the help of Nelson Primary School Music Festival directors Paulette Nott and John Phillips more than 1200 primary school aged stu-dents from throughout Tasman and Nelson will be performing for three nights at the Trafalgar Centre next month, on September 6, 7 and 8.Twenty one schools will be taking part, includ-ing Waimea Intermedi-ate School, Saint Paul’s, Richmond School, Henley School, Ap-pleby School, Wake-field School and Hope School- as well as Nelson City primary schools. The schools will be split in to three with each group performing on the one night.John says there hasn’t been a primary school music festival of this magnitude for some

time. “We’ve found that kids were getting together for sport but other than a rockfest type thing at Stoke School there’s nothing for choirs, so we thought here’s a really great opportunity,” says John.The students are equally as excited about their “big gig,” says John. “Absolutely. They’re excited about getting dressed up and putting hair gel in.”Several guest artists will also be performing in-cluding national Smoke-freerockquest finalists The Peasants and the string quartet La Vida.General public tickets can be purchased from the Richmond Mall and The Rock Shop in Nel-son. Tickets are $10 for an adult, $5 for children with under five year-olds free of charge.

Museum now free for localsNelson Provincial Museum joined a growing list of regional museums who have reduced barriers to attendance by allowing free access to regional history exhibitions for regional residents and rate-payers. Ratepayers of both Nelson City and Tas-man District need only to establish their place of residence on their first visit and they will be issued a small card for future use. Museum CEO Peter Millward reported that there was a very positive response over the first weekend with nearly fifty locals signing up and most of them opted to sub-scribe to the monthly email newsletter. In this way local residents will be the first to hear about new exhibitions and public programmes such as lectures and events for families and chil-dren. Temporary and touring exhibitions need to cover their costs by sponsorship and admission fees and will still have an entry charge.

The Nelson branch of Red Cross are holding a family fun day at the Ta-hunanui playing fields this Sunday from 11am to 2pm and would like to invite all families in the region to come along. There will be activities for the whole family to participate in including some good old-fashioned games, a bouncy castle and food will be available. The fun day is being held to help raise the profile of Red Cross locally and to acknowledge the sup-port that the organisation receives from the local community. “Hosting this type of event is one way that we can give back to the people who help Red Cross in our area. The fun day is open to anyone who would like to have a nice day out with their fam-ily and we would also encourage our volunteers to bring their children and grandchildren along,” says Amy Wilson from Red Cross. “We are grateful for the help we receive from local people. Volunteers were sent in response teams to the Pike River Mine and to Christchurch following the earthquakes, others regularly deliver meals on wheels, volunteer to collect donations or participate in fundraising, and many people have

donated funds. We wouldn’t be able to function without them.”The Nelson branch of Red Cross will also be holding an Informa-tion Evening on Monday August 22 at their branch at 59 Parkers Road, Tahunanui. This evening is open to all members of the public and will kick off at 6pm with drinks and nib-bles followed by a presentation pro-viding information about the good work that Red Cross does. The In-formation Evening will be followed by the AGM at 7pm. “We are hoping that some people might attend the information evening and decide to get involved by joining our branch committee,” says Amy. “Becoming a committee member doesn’t always involve a lot of work. We are always looking to get new people on board, they provide a new lease of life to the committee with new ideas and inspiration. We are more about pro-viding brain power and a bit of man power for things like collections and research on how best to help people in the community.” Commit-tee members meet once every two months. For more information call Amy on 546 5012.

Family Fun Day

I have heard and seen so much about it in the media that I was very interested to see for my-self the damage the earthquake had caused in Christchurch. Attending a two day meeting in Christchurch re-cently I must have been like a school kid glued to the window as the taxi driver drove me to the meeting. I was somewhat disappointed as there was not much evidence of the quake to be seen. (My meeting was on the wrong,or is that the right, side of town.) The first real thing I no-ticed was when large trucks drove past the meet-ing place the Christchurch people looked at each other and asked the unspoken question “is this another quake”.Waking early next morning I went for a walk and began to notice the number of buildings with ply wood sheets tacked to them and the props against fences and walls. In places there were empty cleared sections, the only testimony to what once was there. Returning to the airport our driver deviated through the central city area where the devastation was very evident. Despite months of cleaning up there were still many buildings in ruins along-side large areas that have already been cleared.As the plane took off I was glad that in the 30 hours I was on the ground I did not experience the unpredictability of an earthquake. I had looked for the physical damage and found it but I also witnessed the greater impact of the mental trauma that those who have lived through it have experienced and continue to experience. As the plane climbed into the air I read a pamphlet put out by the churches entitled “Helping Kids Get

Through”. It contained suggestions of how you can build resilience in families to help cope and understand what they have been experiencing. The first thing suggested was lots of hugs and affection so each person knows they are loved. Spend time talking about everything and noth-ing. Sometimes it helps to be sitting on the couch together while at other times it is more natural (especially for boys) to be doing things together, like riding bikes or walking. You can encourage resilience in children by creating a scrap book of memories which capture and help process events

and put them into perspective. In-clude fun memories as well as the not so good ones. Routines are of course helpful and perhaps it is time to create new ones like sitting down to eat the evening meal together at the table. Studies show that families that eat together five times a week or more are more likely to be happier and resilient. Schedule regular family activities - it might be a board game night each week, or a family walk at a particu-lar time. Doing something extra as a family is a great way to build strong relationships and encourage resil-

ient kids. It doesn’t matter whether you live in Christch-urch or Nelson, building stronger families should be the aim of us all. In families we first learn what love is. In God we learn what total love is. Loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:8-9 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Activities

The ClubsNZ South Island Snooker Pairs Tournament was held at the Pa-panui Club in Christchurch over Au-gust 4, 5, and 6.. Seven teams were entered from Club Waimea and five of these qualified for the champion-ship itself, with all recording wins over much higher seeded opponents. The number one team of Ian Ord and Mike Boyd romped through the quali-fying rounds and won their way to the semi-finals where they came up against Alan Gill and Gary Hale from Duned-in. This outstanding pair have dominated this tournament over recent years, and achieved their ninth victory at this 2011 event. Ian and Mike are unfortu-nate to have been placed in the same side of the draw as Gill and Hale in each of the last three years, and are due for a little luck to go with their obvi-ous skills. Their third equal placing was still a great effort and better than their fifth seeding had indicated. Nobby Yorwarth and Mark Friend played well to reach the last sixteen in the championship before falling to a team from the Richmond Club who were seeded many places above them. Kerry Laing and Colin Bowden drew the short straw by having to meet Gill and Hale in the first round of post-sec-tion play, but they then performed well to defeat the team from Makawera be-fore falling to a Richmond side in the last eight of the Flight competition.

Barry and Ray Weavers continued their climb up the rankings with another solid performance. They have shown a propensity to improve each year to the stage where they are a challenge to all but the very best of the teams they meet. The draw matched them against another Waimea pair, Nathan Geddes and Leigh Manson, who were at the tournament for the first time and it was the Geddes/Manson team who won this ‘local derby’ in a tight struggle. They then proceeded to disregard the seedings to win through to the semi-finals of the flight before losing to New Brighton number one.The real surprise package from our contingent were Mike Francis and Julie Dalton, another pair competing at this level for the first time, as they fought their way right through to the final of the plate event. Up against George Robertson, a four time winner, and his partner from the Hornby Club, Mike & Julie were within one ball of taking the match to a third, and deciding, frame. Our final pairing of Kevin Whitlow and Wayne McCausland was hast-ily put together following the sudden death of one of our regular squad, but they took several good scalps before bowing out on the Saturday morning.All in all, this was an impressive show-ing at a tournament which involves many of the best snooker players in the South Island and which will be hosted by Club Waimea in 2012.

Calling all cabsClub Waimea is calling for anyone interested in driving the courtesy van, otherwise the service runs the risk of not being able to operate.With one month in August currently without a confirmed sober driver, Club Waimea spokesperson Rod Penn is urging drivers to stand up and help their fellow members.The only requirements include a responsible person with a full New Zealand drivers license that can confidently operate a van. “They don’t need any license other than their standard full car license and have to be available on the weekends keeping the drunks off the road,” says Rod.The driver will be requested to remain at the Club for the duration of the shift, outside deliveries, and will recieve a free meal for their services.It is likely the shift will run from 6pm until the Club is empty. “Somes they will pick up but mainly just deliver people home every half an hour. During the evening they get a free meal at the resta-raunt and they get the opportunity to help the club out.”“It seems a bit strange that no one is there to drive it but everyone expects to use it. If every member took a turn they’d on;ly have to do it once every four years.” If interested, phone Rod on 544 8668.

News from Brightwater PlaycentreOver the holidays you will have noticed a dramatic change to our centre. Thanks to Jenny and Canterbury Community Trust we were able to secure a grant and begin building a new deck. Regulations prevented us from opening the large doors over the hot summer unless we covered the concrete with every available mat from the shed. A huge thank you to Andy Hall for planning and implementing the deck, together with his crew; Dave Coltman, Hayden Stratford, Liam Hegarty and Mike Wilbourne. After a huge effort on their part, they completed the deck over the weekend. Also thank you to Mel for providing these hard workers with sustenance.The deck looks fantastic! The children are making great use of it and we are all enjoying the picnics at the end of

New Show Home at 5 Fairose Drive, RichmondOn the BrightsideOn the Brightside Brightwater Community NewsletterWelcome to our August Newsletter,We have had some great weather lately but looks like we could have another cold snap in the next few days, so keep warm.

From our Minutes this month:• BMX Track – there has been a meeting with TDC to make sure that all the safety issues around the track that are required will be taken care of. This includes the removal of stones, fencing and the sloping on the side of the track. Plans have been made to take care of this. Also, signage is to be erected and planting is to be done. The track is to be named, so give this some thought. Let us know if you have any ideas - we hope the name will be something to do with Lord Rutherford as the track is at Lord Rutherford Park.

• Proposed Amalgamation of Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council – a good portion of our meeting was taken up with the preparation of a submission our Association will be making to the Local Government Commission. There was lively discussion about the need for so many community boards. Should all areas become wards, will this all cost us more in the long term? This led to completion of a submission ready to be sent in by 19 August 2011. We encourage everyone to put in their own submission or to at least give this whole issue some thought and be prepared to post your vote if it comes to that. Everyone needs to have his or her say.

Hope you all have a great month; everyone is welcome to our next meeting which will be on Tuesday 6 September, in the Brightwater School staffroom at 7.30pm.Your Community Association

Fire at Snowdens Bush last WednesdaySmoke and flames were noticed coming from Snowdens Bush Reserve and the Brightwater Fire Brigade arrived to find a large Totara tree well alight. Three appliances attended, but the firemen were only able to partially douse the fire. They returned the next morning and with the backup of a large digger from Taylors Contractors and DOC staff the tree was felled and the fire put out. The cause of the fire is unknown. It had been burning for a considerable time. This is the third time that the fire brigade have been called to a suspicious fire in Snowdens Bush in recent years.

The Brightwater Bogans football team has been a welcome sight at Lord Rutherford Park this season. They finished second in the fourth division and won 3-0 over FC Nelson Metro last Saturday.

Waimea College Under 15 Tournament Team 2011Waimea College has a strong history at the South Island under 15 rugby tournament. This year they return as defending champions which puts a bit more pressure on the latest team, but they are confident that they have all of the factors needed to continue Waimea’s success.The Waimea under 15 team is made up of players from several college teams who combine to make up this age grade side. Players are departing this Saturday for the tournament which is being hosted in Alexandra this

year. The tournament runs from Monday 22 August to Wednesday 24 August and will feature school teams from all over the South Island. Coaching the side will be local rugby legend Errol Thelin; he will be assisted by Marc Berthelsen and Gus Shirley is the team manager.It has been a big effort for the team to make it to the tournament, participating in working bees, finding sponsors and, of course, training hard. The Waimea College under 15 tournament team has traditionally been

a strong training ground for future 1st XV players and several will want to put in impressive performances at the tournament to push for a place in the top squad for 2012.Results from the tournament will be published in Waimea Weekly.The team would like to thank all of their supporters, families, bus driver Lenny and Suburban Bus Lines, and particularly the player sponsors featured below.

The biggest day on the intermediate school sport-ing calendar is upon us.Every intermediate in the top of the South Island will take part in the annual winter tournament held at Saxton Field this Thursday and Friday.Nelson and Tasman intermediate schools will be joined by teams from Golden Bay, Buller, Ren-wick and Blenheim.All major winter codes - rugby, football, basket-ball, netball, hockey, volleyball, table tennis and badminton - will feature at the tournament which has been running for more than 25 years. “It’s two solid days of play and it’s not what they’re used to,” says tournament co-ordinator Leslie Smith. “It’s a wider competition outside what they’re used to as well.”

While rugby is not played at Saxton Field, the two weighted divisions will be held at Greenmeadows and The Broads.Leslie says all the 1100 students are exciting to be representing their individual schools. “For a lot of them it’s a goal that they’ve set to be in the win-ter tournament teams. Our [Waimea Intermedi-ate School] reports go out next week and for a lot of these kids their goal is to win in their sport at winter tournament, so it shows what a focal point this is for a lot of these sporty kids.”Nelson schools have all been allocated a school from outside the region and will billet their par-ticipating students.The tournament starts on Thursday and Friday at 9:30am.

Intermediate schools set for big clash

Garin College first XV halfback Brook Powick beats two defenders in his side’s 15-5 loss to visiting English side Stamford College. After finding themselves behind early, Joel MacManus hit back for the home side, scoring a well taken try after the forwards set a good platform despite a struggling scrum. A penalty kick further increased Stamford’s lead to seal the victory. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Next week the Waimea College First eleven girls’ football team returns to the location where they tasted success the last time they competed in the Gary Sowden trophy. A lot has changed in the time since 2007 with only one player, captain Megan Hodgson, still playing for the College. The decision to drop from the national premier competition, where the school has competed the last 3 years, to a satellite tournament was a difficult one. The team was the top qualifier from the Nelson region after last years’ tournament and results have been promising this year with wins over both Marlborough and Nelson Girls Colleges who are heading to Taupo for the nationals. Concerns over player availability and the difficulties in making travel arrangements made the local option a more appealing idea for what is a fairly young team. Expectations are high for the week with the 16

teams entered divided into four pools where the top two teams in each progress into the knockout phase. This year Waimea have been seeded first in a group consisting of Middleton Grange, Kaiapoi High and the Marian Girls College development team. With a number of other schools also electing to move from nationals to this tournament this year it is difficult to predict progress from that point though Waimea believe they have the players to bring the trophy home again this year.The goal is to move back to the national premier competition within two years so a strong showing at this year’s tournament is an important step in fulfilling that goal. The College would like to thank the sponsors on this page for their assistance as well as Domino’s Pizza and the Richmond Mall for their assistance with fundraising efforts.

Local riders rip it up at club champsA huge contingent of local motocross riders did the region proud at the inaugural Nelson Motocross Club Champs recently, winning seven of the ten classes.The Champs were held at the MotoX Events Motocross Park in 88 Valley, near Wakefield and Dan Shallcrass says it was a huge success. “It was a

Kaka Shield returns to Richmond

Semi final time for Waimea Old Boys’ thirds

The Kaka Shield is safely back in Richmond, surviving another year in Tapawera and another bus ride back with its victorious victors.The Kaka Shield, one of New Zealand rugby’s oldest trophies, was played for on Sunday with Tapawera hosting Richmond in the 70th-odd playing of it.The Junior Kaka Shield was also played for between the Tapawera and Waimea Old Boys under 9 teams. This competitive game was won by Waimea.The original Kaka Shield, made from a kerosene tin and engraved with the words: “Kaka Shield 1923”, was first played for in Kaka the year it states.

It was played between lime workers from Sherry and railway workers from Tui (both near Tapawera). The first game featured a keg of beer on the sideline, plenty of fights and an eventual winner, Tui.The losers had made the shield the night before and engraved it with a hammer and nail. Since then it has been put on a piece of wood – rumoured to be cut from the bottom of an old water trough out the back of the Tapawera General Store – and had dozen of gold coins and nuggets added to it. As the population of Tui and Sherry declined, the teams were moved to Tapawera and Richmond. Each year the shield is played

for with the holders hosting the game, as a rule the visiting team wins each year.The game is played in a fun spirit and keeping with tradition, a keg of beer graces the sideline of each game with “drinks breaks” taking on a new meaning. Women and children also play and those under 35 years have to wear gumboots to even out their speed. The shield is one of the great traditions of Nelson rugby and those who continue to keep it alive deserve to be applauded. Next year Tapawera will make the journey to Jubilee Park and while the result may not be in doubt, neither will the fun they will have.

away with the comfortable win.Waimea play its semi final at Jubilee Park this Saturday from 2pm, come down and cheer the boys on.The other semi final is to be played between Marist and Stoke.

With a new national record in his arsenal Brendon Barnett arrived home from a successful four weeks in Europe last month, despite failing to qualify to the finals at the IAAF World Youth Championship.Reflecting on his efforts the 17 year-old Waimea College long jumper says he “definitely” achieved what he set out to do - beat his personal best, and land a series of consistent jumps to finish at the World Championship.A month behind where he wanted to be fitness-wise prior to the tour, Brendon managed to tick off his major goal in the lead up to the World Championship when he catapulted out to an incredible 7.31m at a hot meet in Evry, France, breaking his own personal best by more than 10cm. The distance is the furtherest any New Zealander under 18 years-old has ever jumped. “My original goal was to get a 7.20m jump because that would be a personal best. But I said if I did a 7.30m that would be goal achieved and anything else would be a bonus,” says Brendon. But after a series of jumps no further than seven meters, Brendon pulled out the jump of his life. “Everything just clicked, I was in the zone. I could tell everything had gone right as soon as I took off.”Brendon knew he had the performance in him, following a handful of no-jumps within his previous personal best distance of 7.19m just a week earlier at the Aviva British under-20 champs in Bedford, England. “It was just about pulling it all together.”Brendon followed up his personal best with an indifferent performance at the Bauhaus Junior Gala in Mannheim, Germany, just a week out from the World Championship, only managing

6.35m. He says a sauna the night before was to blame, putting his “body asleep.”But with a personal best already ticked on the to-do list, Brendon was hoping to do all the heating up on the track at the World Championship in Lille. Brendon was competing in the second group of jumpers but only managed 7.04m, 6.94m and 6.97m, which was not enough to see him through to the final 12, finishing 17th place overall. “Obviously you’d be really gutted. It was the most consistent series I had ever done, it’s just a shame I couldn’t pull out the jump that could get me through to the final.”Brendon’s next target is the coming Athletics Nelson season where he hopes to jump 7.50m - the B qualifier for the World Junior Championship.He would like to thank all his family, friends and sponsors who had help fund his trip. “I really couldn’t have done it without them.”

Longjumper leaps back home with new record

Richmond romp home over title chasersRichmond Athletic have all but won the Nelson Pine Industries first division after cruising past second place Marlborough Mariners 6-0 at A&P Park in Blenhiem on Saturday.Inspired by a hat-trick from captain Ben Wright, the win puts Richmond 11 points clear at the top of the standings, with three games in hand.The loss of standout midfielder Jorge Donoso midweek was no deterrent as the ever-impressive Sam Mason-Smith opened the scoring after 30 minutes, with combative midfielder Nathan Jef-free and Wesley Olea also chipping in along with their skipper.The win pushes the side closer to the impor-

tant Robbie’s Premier League promotion playoff against FC Twenty 11.Richmond also holds a 60 goal difference over Marlborough and with just three rounds remain-ing they look unlikely to play their games in hand, called off due to inclement weather.Ben says the win caps off a great season for the club. “We’ve done well all season really, so this just topped it off nicely,” he says. “They just couldn’t cope with us going forward.”Coach Steve Bignall will be passing on all his knowledge of Christchurch based FC Twenty 11 in the coming weeks before the proposed second week of September playoff game.

council meetingsAgendas and Minutes for Council Meetings can be viewed on Council’s website at www.tasman.govt.nz

Annual River Care meetings delayedThe huge workload associated with the ongoing aftermath of the December 2010 floods, awarding of a new rivers maintenance contract and a shortage of staff have led to Council’s decision to postpone the annual River Care meetings. It is planned that River Care groups will meet in October-November 2011, where this year’s programme and plans for the 2012/2013 year will be discussed. We will also provide an update on the flood repair programme and introduce our new contractor. The meetings will be advertised in the Nelson Mail, local weekly newspapers and on Council’s website www.tasman.govt.nzIf you have any queries about river care, please contact Rick Lowe at MWH, Ph. 03 546 0673.

Vegetation Control – Roadside Spraying in Rural AreasRegistration of Non-Spray AreasTasman District Council’s roading maintenance contractor is responsible for vegetation control within the road reserve. This includes the use of knock-down, residual and brushweed herbicides to remove vegetation growing in the roadway and around street furniture. The contractor is also responsible for control of pest plants and other noxious weeds such as gorse, fennel, hemlock, blackberry, broom, bracken, purple pampas grass and box thorn.Residents can request that their rural property frontage not be chemically sprayed and instead undertake the vegetation control themselves. On approval Council will mark the “no spray” area with red marker pegs.Rural residents who choose the “no spray” option must control the vegetation growth along their property frontage to ensure road users are not impeded and all roadside signs and markers are clearly visible. Vegetation height should not exceed 300mm. Any stormwater drainage ditches need to be kept clear of excess vegetation. At intersections vegetation must be kept well clear to ensure good sight lines for traffic using the intersection. If you wish to apply for your property to be added to the “no spray” list, please contact Robyn Scherer, Engineering Secretary, Tasman District Council, Ph. 03 543 8524 or e-mail [email protected]
