Local volunteer wins national prize They say volunteering pays off, for Aleisha Hart it has big time.

The St John volunteer, volunteer firefighter, rugby club manager and mum has won a national competition to attend the Rugby World Cup final in Auckland.

Aleisha, the secretary and treasurer of the Waimea Old Boys rugby club, takes care of the day-to-day running of the club, as well as looking after its gym, the bar and the kitchen. She is also responsible for organising the touch rugby courses in the summer, all of which she does as a volunteer.

But it isn’t just off-field where Aleisha excels, she also plays fullback for the club’s woman’s team, which won the club championship on Saturday, in fact it was Aleisha who scored the winning try on fulltime.

In her spare time she is a qualified emergency medical technician with St John and a volunteer firefighter at the Richmond fire brigade, she also has a six year old daughter, Paris and works as a promotions coordinator.

Aleisha says she was given the shock of her life last week when she answered her door to find former All Black Josh Kronfeld at her door.

Network Tasman announces strong profit

Energy consumers in the region are set to get discount off their power bill, thanks to a $6.83 million profit announced by Network Tasman last week.

Network Tasman Trust at its AGM on Friday received the annual report of Network Tasman Limited. The Company had a good year showing an operating surplus after tax of $6.83 million.

Trevor Tuffnell, chairman of the Trust says the result was excellent for consumers.

“The average consumer has received around $250 directly from the Company as a discount

off their power bill regardless of who Rd on the entrance to Richmond and their energy supplier is and the Trust support for ‘The Loop’ high speed fibre education network. also sent them a cheque for $70 last December.

He also commented that the Trust had completed a review of its Deed (this is This is a sum of almost $13 million the document that controls the operapassed to consumers during the year.

This is more than one month’s power tions of the Trust).

“It should be noted that in achieving bill for the average consumer.”

Trevor says he is happy with the result, this result the lines charges are still 8 per cent below the maximum allowespecially considering the company’s Trevor Tuffnell. able price set by the Commerce Comexpenditure of almost $1.3 million dollars on items such as undergrounding Gladstone mission”.

Local volunteer wins national prize FROM PAGE 1 saw Josh Kronfeld I couldn’t believe it.”

Josh was there as part of a promotion by Coca Cola to find the country’s “unsung heroes”, people in the community making an outstanding contribution to New Zealand rugby.

Four winners, including Alei-

sha, were selected from nominees by a panel of judges which included representatives from Coca Cola Oceania and Media Works. Winners will be aired on TV3 and will win tickets to the final, flights and accommodation.

Aleisha was nominated by Kurt Patterson, who works at the club’s bar with her and who

says she does an “awesome job”.

“She likes to help people and has a passion for the club which has taken over her life.”

Aleisha plans to take Kurt with her to the final as a thank you, “If he hadn’t nominated me I wouldn’t be going. I love rugby and to be going to the World Cup is fantastic surprise, I can’t wait.”

Village residents ‘exploited’ FROM PAGE 1 people are not getting their rights due to a clever and narrow interpretation of legislation, they are exploited and not adequately covered.”

For some time, residents of Waimea Village have battled with owners Michael and Carolyn Wright, over attempted “hefty hikes” to their leases that they could not afford.

Maryan has assured residents she will be keeping them informed of developments and progress on the matter.

Winning is something Kevin Withington is becoming all to familiar with.

In June Kevin won the regional Nelson Young Fruit Grower of the Year Award which took him to the Young Grower of the Year Competition held at the Horticulture New Zealand Conference in Rotorua last week Up against some tough competition the young crop manager from Hoddys Orchard, Richmond once again showed his ability and skill, successfully winning the Young Fruit Grower of the Year title.

This was not the first time Kevin had entered the competition, last year he won the regional event but was unsuccessful in the National event. Having now won he says he will not be entering as a competitor again as it is quite stressful, especially when you have a young family.

“It’s a really good event and I hope to take more of a leadership role and mentor some of the other young guys that are around and also lift the profile of the whole competition for the region as well.

“I think the whole region will benefit from a bit more of a collaborative mentality, you know not being so, ‘Oh I don’t want to tell them how to do anything’ New Zealand Young Grower of the Year and Richmond man and just sort of getting people to Kevin Withington with his award.

Santa Fe best in field, says NZ4WD It’s drawn praise and accolades worldwide for several years, and now the Hyundai Santa Fe has been named the best mid-sized SUV by NZ4WD magazine.

The leading publication, trusted as much by the off-road community as by city drivers, recognises Hyundai’s leadership of the New Zealand market.

“Naturally we are delighted with this award from such a prestigious publication,” commented Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau.

“People often think of the Santa Fe as a city vehicle, for families on the school run and Saturday sport, and we sometimes forget its prowess offroad. This is a timely reminder of what a wellequipped all-rounder the Santa Fe is.”

Ever since it burst into the Kiwi consciousness

with its cute TV toddlers heading off to the beach, the Santa Fe has positioned itself over the years as New Zealand’s family wagon.

It bristles with new-age technology. The Santa Fe’s new R-Series diesel engines provide more power, torque and fuel efficiency, while the Theta-II petrol engine variants are truly world-class.

The Santa Fe incorporates advanced safety features such as rollover sensors and, timely in New Zealand right now, a rear-view camera.

“We’re certainly excited to have the Santa Fe here in New Zealand over the last few years, to show the kiwi motoring public just how versatile and economic this model really is and also to demonstrate that it is one of the cleanest and greenest diesel vehicles available on the market.”

Commission rejects TDC complaint Tasman District Council has been knocked back by the Local Government Commission after it sought to have an “error-ridden” report withdrawn.

Waimea Weekly was first to report that several Tasman District councillors were unhappy to see several major errors in a report prepared for the commission to look at cost savings in the event of an amalgamation of Nelson City and Tasman District Councils.

The commission recommended a draft reorganisation scheme in June after a petition by Aldo Miccio forced the commission to look at the regions govern-

ance. The commission has said any errors were not significant enough to pull the report or change the mind of the commission.

TDC councillor Judene Edgar says there are inconsistencies in the report and is still not happy with it.

“I believe mixed messages are coming through I wouldn’t be too happy with it if I was a ratepayer.”

Representative of Nelson and Tasman electors, Aldo Miccio, says he was not surprised at the decision.

“It was no surprise that some at TDC against the union proposal would attack

Residents score new ‘man shed’

Staff at Alexandra Hospital, are delighted with their new ‘man shed’ which when full with tools will help provide both an interest and enjoyment for residents.

The shed was the idea of Kevin Black, Liaison Officer of local rugby team the Tasman Mako’s.

With three young players, Lucky Mulipola, James Proctor and Tevita Koloamatangi happy to build it, Kevin approached Chris Young, Manager of Placemakers, who donated the necessary materials.

The shed will store gardening tools; paint brushes, pots and other equipment that residents can use to undertake projects and work around the gardens. Occupational Therapist Kara Fagan says the shed is wonderful and will provide residents with tools to engage in activities they will enjoy. Many residents suffer with dementia and come to Alexandra Hospital for temporary assessment of their existing needs and ongoing care. Being able to provide interests and activities for them is both important and beneficial.

Chris Young says that Placemaker’s like to support projects such as this in the local community whenever possible.

The draft proposal is currently out for submission, if the commission still thinks amalgamation is best for the region, it will go to a vote, with a majority in both Nelson and Tasman needing to vote for a merger.

Another purrfect cat show Cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds could be seen at the Nelson Catshow over the weekend. The two day event attracted entrants from around the country and a large number of ‘cat lovers’ turned out for the event. Competition was fierce as competitors groomed and prepared their pets for judging.

With numerous catergories to be judged from Companion Cats through to individual breeds such as British Blues and Scottish Fold’s, judges were kept throughout the whole event.

Playground takes shape

A staggering seven meter high playground is being erected at the ASB Aquatic and Fitness Centre, the biggest of its kind in the top of the south, says Tasman District Council reserves officer Glenn Thorn.

The structure, named Coronet Peak, is due for completion in just over two weeks time along with a slide, swing and garden.

Glenn says the climbing net design was chosen as a “destination-type playground” as it challenges children and builds upper body strength.

“The whole promotion around some of the playgrounds now is challenging and adding that element of fear. Yes you can fall through the net, but it’s designed so you can’t fall more than three meters,” says Glenn. “Children can climb to the height they are comfortable with.”

The playground will cost approximately $89,000 and is funded by reserves financial contributions. Negotiations with the TDC and ASB Aquatic Centre management started six months ago and both parties say it adds “another element” to the facility, after the recent opening of the fitness centre.

Go Makos comp kicks into action Ideas for the “Signing up the Makos” competition are already flooding in with just weeks until it offically launches.

The competition, run by Tasman Makos sponsor Richmond Mall, aims to get Nelson folk showing support for their team by making a sign that says “Go Makos”, make sure you also include the words “Richmond Mall” somewhere on the sign.

Then put it up somewhere between Rai Valley and Murchison and take a photo to prove it.

All photos need to be sent into Waimea Weekly and the best sign up before each of the three

We meet your needs, your way.

The best care is care with a personal touch.

It would certainly be easier providing a fixed set of care services to our residents, but we think it’s fairer if they only have to pay for the services they need. Which is why we do things differently. We tailor our care services to meet the requirements of an individual and we do so in a way that helps them stay independent for longer. It’s an approach that makes perfect sense to us and a world of difference to you.

Why chose the Metlifecare way of doing things?

You choose the care services you need.

We care for you in your own home.

Stay independent rather than dependent.

We have friendly, professional staff.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

Your front page article concerning the Lee Valley dam states that the storage capacity will be 13 million cubic metres and, among other things, will provide power. Surely Network Tasman will come on board and demand the height of the dam be increased by twice the proposed amount, with storage of 100 million cubic metres and the installation of a water driven turbine and a generator capable of supplying all of the Tasman district with power for the next 100 years. Charging half the price of the current power suppliers for this commodity would bring in huge profits on the initial outlay in a surprisingly short period.

Yours Faithfully, M A Thompson.

Thank you Sharon Marsden of Wakefield for your letter. It’s great to know that you, and your family and friends, appreciate the Nelson Lakes area just as much as we of

WIN A $1500

Destination Nelson Lakes do!

Are you aware, however, that despite the crowd at Rotoiti lakeside on the one weekend of the year that half of Nelson decided to come up and play in the snow - and who had a wonderful time - a lot of Nelsonians actually have never been to the lake and even have no idea where St Arnaud is? We plan to do something about that.

While at St Arnaud, what did you do to support the local businesses? Did you visit the store or the DoC Information Centre?

Or stay overnight, or visit the art studio?

Or buy a meal or a beer?

A smaller community like ours, while appreciating and valuing always the natural environment also needs to survive financially. We certainly hope that you and your family (and many others too) continue to visit and enjoy the Nelson Lakes area - not only its natural elements but its history and culture and the people who live and work here - you may be surprised that we are such a friendly lot.

We plan to co-ordinate and promote these and other events through Destination Nelson Lakes. And yes, we will invite you too to these and other events that Destination Nelson will be holding and will be promoting these and Destination Nelson Lakes as widely as we can.

Come join in the fun!

Helen Campbell, Secretary, Destination Nelson Lakes.

I’m writing a response to Sharon Marsden’s letter to the editor in your last issue of Waimea Weekly.

The new Nelson lake Promotional Group does not represent the majority of business owners in St Arnaud. Many of us don’t belong to their group or support their aggressive approach to promot-

ing our area as a destination. Most of their members are made up of holiday home owners and tradesmen.

Those members who do own accommodation are small home stay or B & B operators who are desperately trying to fill their beds and are only promoting Nelson Lakes to fill beds for their financial gain. They are forgetting the fundamental attraction to the area, which is “The Nelson lakes National Park” itself. If the Promotional Group have their way they would want to have another Queenstown here in St Arnaud. Sharon Marsden was unlucky to visit our beautiful lake on the first weekend after a heavy snowfall. You have to expect large numbers of families from Nelson and Marlborough who come to enjoy what Mother Nature has sent us.

It would be selfish to deny these people the benefit of this accessible snow playground.

We welcome these people. As they put money back into the local business community and are only here for a couple of hours. I see where Sharon is coming from and it would be terrible to see St Arnaud become another Queenstown.

I would encourage you to contact all the business owners in St Arnaud to get their real views on this subject. Not just a few greedy business people who only want to make a quick buck.

Mark Chapman, St Arnaud.

In response to Sharon Marsden’s letter, I am amazes that she really believes that the people she has described (her being one of them) in her letter are “tourists”.

They are not; they are local Nelson and Marlborough day-trippers that come for a couple of hours to play when we have a snow fall. These are not real tourists and not the type that we in the tourism business are trying to encourage to come here.

There are many local business folk in St

Arnaud who do NOT belong to this promotions group, as we do not believe in the way they do things and instead have their own business related web sites that work very well to promote “The Nelson Lakes National Park” and its assets.

Real tourists come from all over New Zealand and overseas and have been for many years. They come here to enjoy and respect the Park unlike the folk Sharon talks of in her letter. Real tourists don’t come here to do wheelies or in fact bring dogs into a National Park. If Sharon seriously believes she can come to St Arnaud and not share the area with other people she needs to wake up and think about how those of us that live here feel when we have “the locals” (from Nelson etc) come here.

Joan Hill, St Arnaud.

We think there is a problem here. Snow falls on Monday and Tuesday, surely most St Arnaud businesses then have to figure out fairly quickly that the place will be inundated with local tourists in the coming weekend. Simple we would have thought!

On the weekend in question there was also a Ford enthusiast’s car rally making its way up to the Lake. So there we are with literally hundreds of people up to enjoy the snow and a perhaps nice lunch. Well forget about the lunch, nothing was open apart from the petrol station and that amounted to a pie and make-it-yourself coffee being available.

God bless them, Tophouse was open but access was limited due to snow. What the heck went wrong in the town? How about a couple of food caravans etc even from the markets to cater for the tourist? You all had plenty of time! We think it’s time the basics were looked after and only then can you guys look after the fancy canoeists, photographers and hikers. The rules are the same everywhere for success, look after the locals first. Editor.

MYTHBUSTERS Printer Cartridge Refill Myths Busted Using refilled cartridges voids my warranty – Wrong!

The NZ Commerce Act and the Fair Trading Act states that it is illegal for a manufacturer to require the consumer to use a particular brand of supply. The warranty can only be voided if the cartridge is the primary cause of the fault. In the unlikely event that this should happen our own guarantee covers the customer.

Using Refills Can Harm My Printer – Wrong!

Refilling is simple refilling an empty ink cavity. We do not alter any of the casing or parts of the cartridge that your printer requires to operate.

We are so confident that there is no

risk to your printer from using refilled cartridges that we offer a 100% guarantee.

Refills Do Not Last As Long As New Cartridges – Wrong!

Our remanufactured cartridges are refilled with the equivalent amount of ink to that of the original new cartridges.

Refillers Use Poor Quality Inks – Wrong!

At Cartridge World we use quality German Inks that are specifically formulated to mimic the original inks. We do not use one ink to fill all cartridges. All cartridges have their own specific ink.

Top Speed and Performance, it’s what every auto enthusiast wants and needs, no matter what they drive or ride. The Top Speed and Performance story started in 1970 when Phil Stanley installed one of only six Vane Dynos in his tuning shop in Christchurch, giving him the edge on the other tuning shops in his quest for more power and performance. Phil was heavily involved in drag and speedway racing and his original clientele were mostly American V8 owners.

The thirst for power soon took Phil to a new level, Turbocharging,and opening New Zealand’s first turbo shop. Here he helped develop the first computer control systems for car engines. This early involvement means he understands their workings and importance and can advise you on the best value for money when buying your engine control system.

Top Speed and Performance is the only place in Nelson where Dyno tuning is available on-site, catering for most types of engine management systems as well as carbureted

engines. Having your vehicle tuned on a dyno is the best way to get maximum performance from the modifications you have carried out, whether they be basic modifications or all out race cars. Dyno tuning should be at the top of any car enthusiasts to do list.

With a full engineering shop plus stainless steel and alloy welding, Top Speed can build the best in custom parts for your project and to keep your vehicle at the top of its game Top Speed offer full repair and race maintenance programs in their workshop or at the track. With over 35 years of experience in turbo charging, tuning and building race cars Top Speed has the expertise and experience, backed by the best equipment to custom build turbos for any application - race, street or diesel towing vehicles.

Just a thought...

Have you ever been to the top of a hill and looked down to where you started? It looked different didn’t it? Nothing changed, but from where you were standing, everything was different. Have you ever had a change of perspective that made you see things differently? I have. Ten years ago, Jesus found me. He gave me a new life, a new heart, and a new pair of eyes that saw the world from a different perspective. He gave meaning to my life, and a hope and joy that is deeply rooted in what Christians call “the Gospel”.

“Gospel” is Greek for “Good News.”

Here’s the good news about Jesus. He offers a new life to those who believe in his sacrifice. In order to understand the good news, we need to understand the bad news.

We live in a world where Nick Ippolito, there is anger, greed, lust, Youth Pastor, selfishness, and pride. A Hope Community multitude of gospels are Church. preached to us everyday, trying to address these problems. What saviours are they offering? Recently, I sat in the Richmond Mall looking around, and saw that it too was preaching a gospel. “Come here and get anything you need; clothes, food, beauty, a job, health, friends, you can even get married in the mall. We offer all you need to be happy and fulfilled.” Convenience and consumption are the gospel according to Richmond Mall, who proclaims it’s the “Centre of it all”. Am I saying that Richmond Mall is bad and you should stop going there? Not at all! It is useful, but it can never fulfill our ultimate need. Jesus is the true “Centre of it all”. He fulfills our ultimate need the way nothing and nobody else can. Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth and the life…” When we have a relationship with Jesus, we no longer need fulfillment from other things. He is our fulfillment. Everyone lives by a gospel. Everyone needs a saviour. What gospel do you live by? What saviour are you trusting?

Hillcreast Hospital in the 1800s A two storeyed 11 room house was built on two and a half acre site in 1880 by Joseph George Harkness.

Nurse numbers would vary between 10 to 15 over a 12 month period, night duty of of two weeks during roster periods was worked.

Husband and wife score ultimate double Barbara Gillham It took Ian Kaine 17 years to hit that dream hole-in-one. Then the keen golfer watched as just months later his wife did it after only taking up the sport in February.

Ian and Helen Kaine are both members of the Greenacres Club in Richmond. Ian began playing when he was twenty, but gave it up for several years before taking it up again about 17 years ago.

Helen on the other hand may be regarded by many ardent players as something of a novice and new to the game, only picking up a club and taking it seriously this year.

“All I heard was talk of golf and after several years of listening to conversation about the game I decided I may as well play myself, so I joined the club earlier this year and now I love it, it is a game of skill,” she says.

When Ian achieved what most players’ dream of a hole in one, Helen was as proud of his achievement as he was.

“I was on the course at the time and saw him do it, it was wonderful, really exciting.”

However, no one could have guessed that only a few months later Helen too would be celebrating her very own ‘hole in one’ on the very same green.

Helen says she didn’t even realise she had done it when last week her ball disappeared from sight.

Ian who had been on the course that day saw her shot and soon realised what had happened.

“I went over to have a look, I felt sure it had gone in. Meanwhile I could see Helen looking around trying to find it. Sure enough when I looked in the hole there it was.”

Helen says she has been told what they’ve achieved is quite unusual and that they are the first couple at the Greenacre’s to both get a hole in one.

Perhaps what is more amazing and unusual is that Helen has managed within a few months of playing what her husband and others have spent years trying to achieve.

Helen and Ian Kaine, of Richmond, have this year both scored a hole-in-one. Photo: Barbara Gillham.

Champions... again! Waimea women score last minute win Waimea Old Boys women’s side has pulled off an extraordinary win to reclaim its championship.

Leading 13-0 at halftime, Waimea looked to have the game in the bag after controlling possession in the first half. Attacking the minor premiers, and favourites, Stoke on its home ground. But the home side, which beat Waimea three times this season, staged a classy fight back in the second half as Waimea let the pressure get to them – with three players sin binned in the half.

With the advantage Stoke fought back to be just one point behind until the final few minutes when its skipper and halfback Angela Cotton scored what most thought would be the winning try, darting over from a tap penalty.

But Waimea know how to win championships and stepped up big time when it counted.

Local minister backs trials motorsport It’s not often you see a Government Minister for the Environment endorsing any form of motorsport and even more intriguing when that Minister is also the Minister of ACC. The Honourable Dr Nick Smith however, has good reason to smile about the relationship with this group.

Local Nelson-based NonStop Adventure NZ trials group, amongst other things, including training Motorcyclists of all ages and abilities to be better off-road riders and therefore reducing the likelihood of injury, also run the annual NZ Ihatove (Dreamland) Adventure Trial motorcycle event, a sister event to the highly successful Japanese Ihatove Trial, the largest trial of its kind in the world, having been run annually there since 1977.

This professional, friendly fun ride, which attracts international riders to Nelson every February, is aiming to now promote the introduction of an electric motorcycle to the sport. NonStop has informed Nick Smith that the Japanese and New Zealand events hope to be two of the first events to have an electric machine included.

Whilst electric trials motorcycles are still relatively new it’s an area that is expected to develop as time goes on and technology improves.

Trials Motorcycling, which is ridden at low speeds over challenging terrain, both natural and man-made, is already one of the

most environmentally friendly motorsports due to the very low noise output; use of land that is not normally suitable for grazing or cropping; minimal fuel usage and therefore limited carbon emissions (a typical trials bike has a 2 litre fuel tank which on most occasions lasts the full event). Because of the tyres soft compound, low pressure and non aggressive tread pattern trials is also well known for its soft footprint on the land.

Bikes need instant torque to climb obstacles and that is one of the characteristics of electric engines.

A few of these machines have already been developed and this trend is expected to grow.

Many top level motorsport champions use motorcycle trials to hone their technical skills, for fitness and to relax in the same way as many top sports people turn to golf.

Motorcycle Trials is also one of the least expensive motorsports to access. For the majority of riders the biggest portion of your success depends on the ability of the rider rather than the machine or the size of your wallet.

NonStop Adventure trials group very much welcomes the Minister’s endorsement and support as they work hard to grow this form of motorcycle sport and the safety of motorcyclists throughout NZ, while promoting the enjoyment that it has to offer, rather than the fierce competitiveness of racing disciplines.

community notices Annual River Care meetings delayed The 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.nz If you have any queries about river care, please contact Rick Lowe at MWH, Ph. 03 546 0673.

Vegetation Control – Roadside Spraying in Rural Areas Registration of Non-Spray Areas Tasman 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 robyn.scherer@tasman.govt.nz
