Southern Link ‘not dead’ Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The controversial Southern Link project looks set to be subjected to further political can-kicking as elected officials look to future
changes in government to overturn the suggestions of the country’s transport agency. Waka Kotahi, formerly known as NZTA, has recommended that priority lanes be installed along Nelson's rush hour hotspots to alleviate the city's long-term
transport woes. This is the result of a long-awaited Nelson Future Access report that looked at three options that included priority lanes, or clearways, widening Rocks Rd, or adding an 'inland route' to the city's transport network, otherwise
known as the Southern Link. Over the next 10 or so years the transport agency says that the city should undertake shorterterm projects to help make our streets safer. This includes intersection improvements, walking and cycling
paths, and proposed traffic calming to enhance neighbourhoods and improve safety. The transport agency is also recommending a Rocks Rd walking and cycleway which

would be separated from traffic. It also expects the Rocks Rd seawall to be replaced within the next 10 years. It says its priority recommendation would be implemented in 1015 years, but only after improvements to public transport availability. However, former Nelson MP Nick Smith, who has been an outspoken advocate for the inland route says the proposal is a “tragedy” for Nelson’s waterfront. He says that clearways have been tried and failed in other cities around the country. He says Nelsonians have a clear choice now between a National government and Labour as to what they want to future of the city to be.
“Too much money has been spent going round and round. We are clear about our position and so are Labour and people will have to make their choice.” Last election, Nick campaigned heavily on the inland route and Labour MP Rachel Boyack campaigned on creating clearways. Rachel says she is pleased that Waka Kotahi has heard community concerns about the impact of these priority lanes on some of our landmarks, and will consult with the community about the location of these. “Priority lanes enable us to enhance capacity for cars at peak times, but we can also prioritise the vehicles that are carrying more people such as buses and car-pooling vehicles.”

Following a successful debut of the Wāhine exhibition in Nelson last year, The Woven Women is back for a national tour. The Wāhine exhibition showcases personal stories from Māori women, with interviews and soundscapes accompanied by a portrait to present a series of unique perspectives on what it means to be a Māori woman. Artist and coordinator Loren Pasquier, originally from France, first showcased the project in February last year in Nelson. “It was quite a beautiful event and people were telling me to take it around the country,” she says.

The Wāhine exhibition hosted a fundraising night at Fairfield House on Saturday. Photo: Supplied. Loren began planning a South Island tour just months later, reaching out to rūnanga across Te Waipounamu to ask them about themselves, what it means to them to be a Māori woman, and the conversation evolved from that.” Loren says the exhibition is about starting conversations and furthering understanding between Māori and Pākeha ‘on a small scale’. The exhibition tour begins
in Christchurch on July 3, travelling through Dunedin, Invercargill, Hokitika then returning to Nelson at the end of 2021. Each stop will see women from local iwi added into the exhibition along the way. This kaupapa got off the ground with the help of local community grants. Loren is running a crowdfunding campaign this month on Boosted. For more information visit boosted.org.nz/ projects/wahine.

Guilty plea for elderly motorist

Erin Bradnock An 84-year-old motorist who struck an 85-year-old pedestrian, who later died, says sunlight, shadows and dark clothing meant she did not see the victim, a court has heard. Rosemary Anne Braithwaite appeared Nelson District Court on Monday on charges relating to the death of 85-year-old female pedestrian, Joan Todd, who was struck and died as a result of her injuries in the days leading up to Christmas last year. Braithwaite pleaded guilty to the charge of careless driving causing death after failing to stop while travelling through the Bridge St and Trafalgar St intersection and crashing into the victim. According to the summary of facts, the victim was struck at about 12.33pm on December 3 while stepping out onto the pedestrian crossing. As a result of the impact, the victim suffered from a fractured hip and acute subdural haemorrhage and died a day later as a result of her injuries. The victim travelled 4.5 metres following the impact at the pedestrian crossing.

Defense lawyer Steven Zindel told the court that Braithwaite acknowledged she was careless and hopes to take part in a restorative justice process. A special crash investigator estimates Braithwaite was travelling between 27-33kmph in the 30kmph zone when the victim was struck.
Braithwaite claims sunlight, strong winds, moving shadows and dark clothing impacted her driving and claims she did not see the victim. Defense lawyer Steven Zindel told the court that Braithwaite acknowledged she was careless and hopes to take part in a restorative justice process. Judge Jo Rielly described Braithwaite’s acknowledgement and acceptance of the statement of facts as a credit to her. Sentencing will take place on July 8.

Cable Bay cell tower to relocate after protest Erin Bradnock The company behind a controversial proposed cellphone tower installation in Cable Bay has bowed to community pressure and decided to relocate the 11-metre structure. The proposed placement of the tower has been shifted from the scenic roadside spot opposing the Cable Bay Holiday Park and Cable Bay café to a private property on the hillside of Cable Bay Rd. In August 2017 the Rural Connectivity Group was appointed by the Government to be the infrastructure provider to bring 4G mobile and wireless broadband coverage to rural New Zealand. The news of relocation follows weeks of protest from the Cable Bay Residents Association who opposed the original site and
criticised RCG’s community engagement. The residents association took community engagement into their own hands, conducting a survey of 55 residents in April, where 48 opposed the originally proposed site. Resident association member Jo Say says the initial location of the tower would have had a damaging visual impact. “It’s important to say we're not against 4G or the broadband coverage, it’s the location. It’s a beautiful place of cultural and historic significance. We do not want that beautiful site to be ruined by a cell phone tower,” she says. Last Tuesday, RCG met with the Stuart family, the owners of Cable Bay Farm and Cable Bay Holiday Park, and an agreement was met to change the site and build on their family land, opposite 796 Cable Bay Rd.
Resident David Haig has lived at his Cable Bay Rd property for 40 years and directly neighbours the original roadside site, describing the first location as “so patently wrong”. David says he and his family are relieved to hear the site will be relocating. “We are very grateful to our near neighbours, the Stuart family, for coming together with the RCG and revisiting the proposed site on their land. It frankly comes as a huge relief to us and our family as it's been a stressful and worrying few weeks.” David credits the work of Jo and the residents association for fighting for the change. "It was really a textbook example of an effective local action group,” he says. Jo says the association is “cautiously optimistic” regarding the new site location.

Wine bottle mystery confounds Erin Bradnock
A couple of metal detector enthusiasts have been left perplexed by a bottle of wine buried in a rest stop in between Rai Valley and Nelson. The couple, who do not want to be named, were travelling in their campervan when they found a fully sealed wine bottle buried in a plastic bag. The wine bottle is dated as a 2009 Wairua River Pinot Noir with a phone number and the name “Peter Lourdes” scrawled in sharpie over the bottle. The bottle also has the date 23.12.2011
written over the label. The finder messaged the number to no avail and posted on a social media page, but no one has made contact. When dialed, the number goes straight to the voicemail of a ‘Jed’ who appears to have an American accent. The man behind the number has not returned calls from the Nelson Weekly. The metal detectors say this is definitely their most unique find and are eager to find the owners. Their current bets are on the bottle and dates lining up with someone's anniversary.

Big Brother match celebrate a whole decade together Erin Bradnock Jordan Scherer had his first Big Brother Big Sister meet up with Tim Cross just weeks after his 7th birthday. Now at 17, Jordan knows he has a friend for life in ‘big brother’ Tim. Big Brothers Big Sisters Nelson matches young people between the age of 6 and 12 years with supportive mentoring matches. Most matches last a few years, but Jordan and Tim are still going strong after a decade - making their pair Nelson’s longest match to date. Jordan says before Big Brothers Big Sisters he was a shy kid but time with Tim helped him come out of his shell. “I was a shy child. I remember still having my training wheels on my bike, I had no front teeth. Tim taught me how to ride my bike and now he’s helping me get my driver's license.” Jordan says the Big Brothers Big Sisters organisation enabled him to do things he’d never done before. “We’d go kayaking, fishing, camping, yachting, we even went jet boating a couple of weeks ago,” he says. Tim has worked as a primary school teacher for more than 40 years and had had two mentees before Jordan. He says when he first became a mentor, he thought it was just about him giving back. “I thought it was just what I was able to

Now he’s a community-minded young man and doing really well in school,” says Tim. Jordan has equal praise for Tim as he reflects on their time together. “I’ve learnt a lot from Tim, from respect, empathy, how to treat people. I have my family but to have that from another male perspective has been really helpful,” he says. Now Jordan is a mentor himself as a school-based teen mentor with 10-year-
old buddy Jake at Henley School. “With all the things Tim has taught me over the years, I wanted to give back and pass that on,” he says. Big Brothers Big Sisters Nelson hosted a celebration for the pair on April 29 to celebrate the ongoing match, gifting the pair a cake and photo album documenting their adventures together. Though the technical cutoff date for a big brother match is 18, the lads agree they’ll always be a part of each other's lives. “We’ll be friends for life,” says Tim.

Wild Tomato assets bought up: The company that published the long-running magazine, Wild Tomato, has been found to owe at least $90,000 to the IRD, local companies, and a string of its freelancers. The company that publishes the Nelson Weekly, Top South Media, picked up the company’s assets after being offered them by the receiver. This included some hardware, the magazine’s back catalog, and its content company Wild Media, which it will continue to run. The magazine’s previous designer Patrick Connor has also joined TSM to contribute design to the Weekly’s print products. Local makes NBR List debut: The CEO and founder of Shuttlerock has made his first appearance on NBR’s new List – which ranks wealthy Kiwis and their contribution to the country. Jonny Hendriksen, who brought his company to Nelson in the mid-2010s, told the business publication that Shuttlerock is looking to break $100m in annual turnover by 2023. The company creates short video ads that run on social media and other platforms. Shuttlerock currently employs about 180 people, about 45 in New Zealand, mostly in Nelson. It recently raised $20 million from investors to accelerate its international expansion and expects to hire up to 175 more staff globally, 20 to 25 in Nelson. Its head offices are in the Nelson Mail building on Bridge St.

Catching up with ACT’s man in Nelson About eight months ago local publican and schoolteacher Chris Baillie found his work life upended when he was elected to Parliament as number 4 on the ACT party list. Charles Anderson catches up with him in between his commutes to Wellington. When Chris Baillie found himself being elected to Parliament last October, his first worry was figuring out a place to live in Wellington. He has managed to find a place but admits he is still getting his head around the processes of how our legislative body runs. “So far it has been really enjoyable,” he says. “I’ve learnt a lot about the process and how things work and how laws are made and bills are passed.” He has even put a private member's bill into the ballot. His one seeks to allow businesses to trade as normal on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. As the owner of the Honest Lawyer bar and restaurant in Monaco, some might see that particular bill as somewhat selfserving. However, Chris says it has big implications. “Businesses should be allowed to decide when they want to open.” He says the bill is another way to counteract what he says is increasing “attacks” on businesses. This included increasing the minimum wage and adding new public holidays. “Business owners don’t know what is
coming next.” As well as having the small business portfolio for ACT, Chris also has the police and education portfolios. He says while he has an interest in what is happening in Nelson, those jobs keep him busy around the country. When ran for the electorate of Nelson he placed fourth with 1320 votes, but ACT won 7.6 per cent of the party vote, which included 3,639 in Nelson. Chris says the job has been interesting, not least because as an elected official some people feel like “they own you”. “You certainly are out there and the public think they own you. It can be quite challenging. You would be surprised at the people who don’t talk to you.” He says he has lost friends over his stances on issues. “But I’ve made a lot more friends, so it doesn’t worry me.” However, the Parliamentary salary has been welcome. As an MP, Chris is paid $163,961 with allowances of up to $17,000. “You are certainly rewarded well,” he says.
Nelson-based ACT list MP Chris Baillie. Photo: Charles Anderson. When given the hypothetical situation of ACT winning a majority in Parliament next election, Chris couldn’t point to any specific legislation he would like to see enacted. However, he said that New Zealand needed, “A mind shift to not so much blaming or victimhood but to opportunities and people being able to realise what they are capable of.” He also said that the country needed to bring back charter schools, police needed to be supported more and businesses needed a break. But regardless of the future, he said he was still “loving it”. “It’s certainly not boring.”

Youth bring classics to the stage, Wednesday, April 14: Nelson Youth Theatre enjoyed a tremendous response to their productions Moana Jr, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr and Little Women, with 4400 people of all ages coming to see one or more of the shows during the school holidays. “They were all a huge amount of work to stage, as they were all heavy on props and staging, but the effort was well worthwhile seeing all the happy faces coming out of the theatre after each show and experiencing the joy that live musicals brings to actors, crew and audience alike,” says Richard Carruthers from the theatre company. “Next up is CATS and Disney's Aladdin Jr, which we expect to outshine even Moana and The Lion King for spectacular effects and magical storytelling.”
Council building vandalised, Wednesday, April 28: Nelson City Council will be lodging a complaint with police about the graffiti at Civic House on March 23. Rogue members of the activist group Extinction Rebellion tagged “You Suck, Happy Earth Day” across the windows as well as the group's insignia. Council chief executive Pat Dougherty says while they support the right to protest, there can be a cost involved. “Although it only cost around $300 to remove graffiti from council property, you also have to consider the costs associated with staff being unable to work during the March 11 protest. Many staff members worked from home during the protest, but others were unable to carry out their duties until later that morning. We were also unable to open our customer service centre, which was an inconvenience to residents.”

Cloak welcomed to Greenmeadows Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The Welcome Cloak is finally home - and it has a new name. ‘Te Korowai Aroha’ was formally blessed by iwi in a naming ceremony at the entrance of Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre in Stoke on Saturday. The name has been gifted by local iwi and holds significance as the taonga itself is made up of gold ‘feathers’ symbolic of a traditional korowai. Nelson City Council says the placement of the taonga complements the centre’s name Pūtangitangi, which was also gifted by local iwi and refers to the traditional site of the centre, being home to wetland birds and particularly the Pūtangitangi also known as the paradise shelduck. Council Kaumātua and iwi representatives Melanie McGregor and Luke Katu led the ceremony proceedings at the blessing and Ngāti Tama representative Te Ahu Rei shared the significance of the artwork’s new name. “Te Korowai Aroha symbolises the extension of manaakitanga, compassion, and community spirit. It represents inclusiveness and hospitality and conveys a warm welcome and sense of belonging to visitors of Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre and the wider region.” Designed by local artist Adi Tait, the controversial

It was damaged by wind twice at the creek, so the council decided to move it to the Millers Acre Centre - but
this never went ahead as it was discovered the building needed major cladding repairs. Mayor Rachel Reese acknowledges the process it has taken to find a permanent home for the artwork. “I believe this artwork
situated where it is now represents the value of humility, cooperation, and collaboration. Now we have a permanent home for this important artwork, I hope many locals and visitors can enjoy its position here for many years to come.”

Lifting the fog on perinatal depression Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
When Karolina Gorton was pregnant with her second child, a dark cloud hung over her. “It came very suddenly. I didn’t know what was going on with me. It was like a fog above my head.” Karolina was experiencing perinatal depression - the depression that occurs during pregnancy or in the first year following the birth of a child. Four years later and on the other side, the local illustrator and designer has used her experience, and the stories of other women, to create the ‘Blue Stories Project’ - which opened at the Elma Turner Library on Sunday. Karolina has created ten portraits of women with each containing a story and an encouraging message. Karolina says she wanted to
create a “positive” project. “My idea was to use stories from women who experienced it but are on the other side. This exhibition is not about perinatal depression by itself, but actually about the strong women who were willing to share their experience.” The project is in collaboration with Perinatal Support Nelson, who was instrumental in Karolina’s recovery. “My recovery was going on walks, yoga, contacting my GP, and going to free counselling with Perinatal Support Nelson. “My friends checked on me and gave me meals when my son was born. The community around you is so important when you are going through it.” Karolina says it is important for women to talk about their experiences. “When I talk with other women about this project, so many have told me that they, or their friend, mum or sister has
had it - I was finding out how common it is. “We can empower other people by sharing our stories, but what is more important, is we might be able to reach people who may need that help.” Perinatal Support Nelson chairman Duncan Gray says 25 percent of women are affected by perinatal depression. “Our vision is that every woman with perinatal depression is supported in our community.” The project has received funding from Nelson City Creative Communities Scheme, Tasman District Creative Communities Scheme and Lottery Community grant. The project will also have an online presence with all stories and portraits posted on www. bluestoriesproject.com and people are invited to send their stories via the website. Blue Stories Project is on until May 30 at the Elma Turner Library.

Maitai River: Dear Sir, Photos of the Maitai River in the CBD area often show it with canoes being paddled. This shows the river at high tide, but at low tide it can look like an oversized creek. What’s needed is a weir a the QEII bridge to keep the river depth up to a half-metre as a far as the Trafalgar St bridge and beyond. This would transform the lower Maitai visually and functionally for recreation and sport. Anton Hyman

It is wrong that Labour has kept secret a radical report called He Puapua. This “national plan of action” was reported to Government in November 2019, but not released until last week after it was leaked to National. It proposes separate Māori health and court systems, Māori ownership of the foreshore and seabed, separate Māori wards on all councils, Māori governance over water and a separate Māori Par-
liament. New Zealanders have a right to know Labour’s plans and it was sneaky to have hidden it from the public at Election 2020. You can get a paper copy from my Nelson office or here: https:// www.nzcpr.com/wp-content/ uploads/2021/04/He-Puapua. pdf The two systems approach has been adopted with the health reforms with a separate Māori Health Authority.

Looking ahead, over the next 12 months, Simply Asia Food Group plans to continue their loyalty (stamp card) programme and their *free birthday meal offering (at all restaurants except Samko). “If it’s your birthday, when you book a table to dine with us at any of our restaurants, bring your friends and family, and the birthday person doesn’t have to pay.”

Simply Asia Food Group is going from strength to strength. Its five brands and seven restaurants and cafés offer deliciously fresh Asian meals, snacks and takeaways options for locals and visitors in Nelson, Richmond and Blenheim. “With a focus on our native Thai food, we also offer Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese flavours,” says Bu-nga Krataitong who co-owns Simply Asia Food Group with her husband Nuttavut Rosdeinglum. “We focus on authentic recipes learnt in our mothers’ kitchens and refined while working in

restaurants around the world.” In 2009, they launched their first restaurant, Chai Yo, in Nelson city, which was quickly followed by Lemongrass Restaurant in Richmond. “We sold Chai Yo in Nelson to our chef, then we opened Chai Yo Richmond.” The couple also opened a second Lemongrass Restaurant and Chai-Yo Thai & Asian Café in Blenheim, and they also purchased Marlborough’s iconic Bamboo Garden Restaurant. Later they opened Ben and Maxxi in Richmond, as well as Miracle Restaurant and Samko
Asian Gourmet Café in central Nelson. “All of our restaurants and cafés are designed to feel homely and relaxed, and are ideal for families, business people and groups of friends to dine in or takeaway.” This year, Simply Asia Food Group is celebrating 12 years in business. “The main reason why we have come this far is due to all the wonderful support from our lovely customers,” says Bu-nga. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here and that goes for our staff as well.”

Come and talk to Bu-nga about your fundraising request and when tickets are sold, the recipient will be able to have a meal worth $40 at Miracle Restaurant or Chai Yo in Richmond. “We will share our profit with the organiser. We will give 40 percent to them and the rest will cover our labour and food costs.” NB: The tickets purchased are for the meal only, not drinks.

Locals are delighted with the recent opening of Krua Bangkok – Thai Street Food Takeaway on Main Road Stoke. Experienced Thai chefs, Piyakiet (known as Peter) and Bossaporn Ngawtong, who recently bought the business, have modernised the premises in preparation for last week’s opening. You will love its trendy decor, freshly painted interior, and scrumptious Thai-Asian fusion style menu on offer. “We have a long history in the kitchen,” says Peter. “We have worked as chefs before; me for 25 years and my wife for 30 years for 5-star hotels in Thailand and Dubai.” In 2008, the couple began working in a Thai restaurant in Christchurch, then they moved to Dubai for three years, before returning to New Zealand. “We started working in a popular
Thai restaurant in Nelson city; supporting our friend who was cheffing there.” Peter and Bossaporn then decided that they wanted to open their own restaurant in Stoke, offering a simple lunch and dinner menu using fresh local vegetables and ingredients. “Easy to eat, everyday homemade food which is uncomplicated and not too fancy,” says Peter. Since Krua Bangkok opened its doors just over a week ago, the couple have been pleased to see lots of office people and locals popping in for takeaway meals. “Bangkok, which is the ‘capital of street food,’ has been the inspiration for our restaurant. We have been adapting our menu to suit the Kiwi palate and what locals like.” You can order chicken, beef, pork, tofu or prawn dishes, and because the owners realise that

Coming into winter, now is a good time to get your heat pump serviced and make sure it is performing at 100 percent. “For a lot of Nelsonians, the middle of winter is the only time they use their heat pump or air con, so before winter hits, it’s important to have it checked and know it is working correctly.” Pete Pumps service both the domestic and commercial market.

Building or renovating this winter? Peter Cameron, who owns Pete Pumps Ltd, recommends that people organise their heat pumps when they first start working on their project. He says, “if you leave it too late, there’s a chance you might not be able to get the correct system for your house.” So, now is a really good time to contact Pete, who has 13 years’ experience installing heat pumps in the Nelson-Tasman region. “We can visit you and discuss your exact requirements to ensure that the most efficient heating or cooling system is installed in your home or business.” If you are thinking of investing in a rental property, Pete recommends people look into their heating now before new tenancy laws come into effect in July. “Heat Pumps are great choice for homes, business or rental properties - they the most cost-effective and efficient form of heating

Codes battle for sportsgrounds Jonty Dine The Tasman Rugby Union and FC Nelson have each made proposals to council requesting the primary use of a new sports facility. Nelson City Council has invested $50,000 in a feasibility study into the need for an artificial turf in the region with findings indicating a preferred site at Guppy Park. Tasman Rugby has made a submission for a training facility, while FC Nelson proposes converting the existing changing rooms into a ‘club hub’. As the region’s premier sporting side, the Tasman Mako does not have a full-sized training ground while FC Nelson’s base at Guppy Park has long been subjected to scrutiny for its poor playing surface. The submissions were made at last week’s Long Term Plan 202131 hearing.
Commercial manager Les Edwards says they are seeking a training facility that befits the elite standard of the players that comprise the Mako men and women. The team currently trains on a half-sized pitch at the northern end of Trafalgar Park. “Game-day simulation cannot be done, the lighting is very poor, and the standard of the turf is not suitable for training of highperformance athletes,” Les says. The TRU is asking for a training field that is near to Trafalgar Park and has the necessary dimensions, surface and lighting to be considered a quality training field either synthetic or grass surface. “We believe the Mako has earned the right to train on such a facility.” As well as the Mako, Les says a quality training ground will help
attract further fixtures, including the Black Ferns and Super Rugby matches. “We would welcome a discussion with NCC around the possibility for Neale Park to be repurposed to provide a good quality training paddock for the Mako.” FC Nelson president Phil Thompson says there is a need for better facilities at Guppy Park. The club’s proposed upgrade includes a new amenities block, public toilet, offices, a lounge for food and catering, and a meeting room. “Creating such a hub will drive the ongoing sustainability of the club, from cultural, financial, sociability and sporting success points of view.” He says while a new hub could be used by the whole community, FC Nelson
envisions using it exclusively on weekends and evenings. “Football would use it in the majority, but not entirely.” Phil says FC Nelson has 11 teams playing in local leagues, representing the young, the old, the social and competitive.
“The facilities are under huge pressure, particularly weekends, with 200 individuals looking to change and prepare, then subsequently clean and redress.” The Long Term Plan will be finalised and adopted at the end of June.

Jacks and Prices win big as Netball returns Jonty Dine With just a handful of games played before Covid-19 curtailed the season in 2020, Nelson’s netballers returned to action at Saxton Stadium on Thursday evening. Runners up in 2019, Jacks OPD opened its account in emphatic style, hammering Prices Waimea Pango 56-26. Jacks showed its trademark slick attack with its new young shooting duo of Shevaun Collier and Katie De Ruiter shining in their first appearances for the team. Jacks coach Robyn Leonard says the rookie pair impressed on debut. “There were lots of pleasing things which was nice to see." Veteran centre Jess Drummond sat out the round one clash with a hip injury sustained on the rugby field and is unlikely to feature this season. "It's a blow for us but we are quite lucky in that we have a lot of players that have played with us for a long time now." A new look Pango side struggled to find its rhythm while Jacks were
ruthless throughout a dominant 60 minutes. Jordan Webby continued her strong form on defence, shutting out Prices seemingly at will while Rayna Olsen switched from her usual shooting position to wing attack and her feeding game proved just as successful for Jacks. Prices opened the scoring but that would be the only early success as Jacks soon took control and surged ahead. Prices was dealt a further blow when centre Georgia Buchanan was forced from the court with injury. However, that paved the way for young Kim Lammers to make her debut as Pango trailed 14-7 at the end of the first quarter. It was much the same in the second with Jacks doubling its advantage to 24-12 before the lead hit twenty early in the third. Kirsty Thompson was given a welldeserved spell after a busy 45 minutes while Chloe Webb continues her impressive development out of Nelson College for Girls. Pango fought hard until the end
with Lilligail Barrier showing plenty of composure inside the shooters' circle while under immense pressure. Collier brought up the half-century as the clock ticked under ten in what was Jacks’ lowest-scoring quarter of the game. "We have got quite a bit of variety on the bench with a few new girls so we just need to figure out what works best, plenty of work to do but pleased with the score and we will go home happy," Robyn says. On court two, it was a much closer encounter between Stoke NBS and Nelson College for Girls. Things were still neck and neck heading into the final fifteen at 30-28 to Stoke, with the more experienced side eventually prevailing 38-33. In the evening's final game, defending champions Prices Ahurei picked up a resounding win over Richmond F45, 46-18.

Waimea pull off a miracle win Jonty Dine
Dead and buried at 20 points down with 10 minutes to play, Waimea Old Boys pulled off an absolute miracle against Stoke at Jubilee Park on Saturday. Campbell Parata was once again called upon to kick the winning points in a dramatic conclusion to the round five Tasman Trophy clash. With time up on the clock, Waimea worked its way 80 meters to score in the right-hand corner and set up the grandstand finish. After an injury delay, Parata's sideline conversion split the uprights to close out a thrilling come-from-behind win. Captain Eden Beech says he had complete faith in his young sharpshooter. "He is clutch, it's unreal, bloody good to have him on the pitch each week." Eden says his side showed real heart in the final ten minutes. "Not too sure how we pulled that off, it took the boys about 70 minutes to get started." Down by three converted tries,
Eden says the message was simply to start playing with a bit of fire. Stoke looked to have done more than enough to secure its third win of the season, holding the lead for over 80 minutes before letting it slip. First-five Taine Robinson bagged 27-points in what appeared to be a match-winning performance. However, as they did against Marist a fortnight ago, Waimea proved its championship credentials with an uncanny ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Robinson opened the scoring with back-to-back penalties before Liam Miller pounced on a loose Waimea pass and linked with Saul Lewis who streaked away for the opening try. Parata finally put his side on the board, but Robinson responded immediately to re-establish a 13-point advantage. The young fly-half stretched it to 16 with another penalty as ill-discipline and errors costed Waimea dearly. After a sustained period on the attack, the hosts eventually cracked Stoke through lock Brent

McKenzie, however, Robinson’s fifth and longest penalty right on the stroke of half-time gave his side a 22-10 lead. Stoke again struck first in the second, Karl Ratcliffe the beneficiary of some slick backline play. The visitors hit 30 through Robinson’s sixth penalty coming on the back of a bustling break from centre Amanaki Veamatahau. Penalties kept mounting against

Waimea but Robinson would miss consecutive shots at goal and a chance to shut out the hosts. A try to Taya Brown offered some hope for Waimea before Robinson put an exclamation on his performance with a stunning solo try. Chris Little was sent to the sin bin for a rogue elbow and Waimea took immediate advantage with a third try to Parata. Chris Mason then sliced his way through the previously staunch Stoke defence to give Waimea a chance to steal it at the death. Deep into injury time, Waimea eventually cracked the line through replacement Cameron Rodrigue. A lengthy delay followed as Mason was injured while scoring
giving Parata plenty of time to line up his shot and he made no mistake. Elsewhere, Marist picked up a big 66-7 win over Awatere/Moutere while Kahurangi maintains its spot at the top of the table with a 46-17 defeat of Waitohi. Nelson was edged 25-22 by Renwick.
