Wakefield welcomes filmmakers Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Actor and filmmaker Doug Brooks is determined to get his hometown of Wakefield on the map.

The former Waimea College teacher has been acting for 25 years and was most recently seen on Shortland Street playing thug ‘Skinny’. His latest role is in the short film ‘Opal Valley’, currently being filmed in Wakefield about “a broken and combative man living up a remote valley who is disturbed by the arrival of a young woman who takes an interest in him for no discernible reason.”

“It’s a nice symmetry that not only is he the lead actor, but he can return to his home town to film this,” says film writer Justin Eade.

“We have been blown away with the generosity and welcoming nature of people helping us out with locations and equipment.”

Joining Justin and Doug is Richmond songwriter and filmmaker Patsy Burke.

Patsy’s first short film, ‘Breakthrough’, was selected for last year’s Top of the South Film Festival, and Patsy says that she’s looking forward to working with a great team and learning more about film production.

“It’s building my experience and relationships with other filmmakers,” Patsy says.

Shop ‘n’ Win success is “pretty marvellous” It’s not everyday you get $5000 in cash handed to you, but that is certainly what Richmond man Chris Branje has to look forward to after winning the latest Waimea Weekly Shop ‘n’

Win competition.

Chris filled in a few entry forms throughout the competition but didn’t give winning a second thought. “You always think, nah, someone else will

win it,” says Chris. “It was a bit surreal, you don’t receive a phone call like that very often.

It’s pretty marvellous.”

His winning entry form was filled out at Westmeat, which

has been part of Shop ‘n’ Win since the competition was first introduced to the Waimea community 10 years ago.

Horror crashes pile up Brittany Spencer A driver’s quick-thinking likely saved lives in a multi-car pileup on the Appleby Highway.

Police, St John, and the Fire Service all attended the crash that occurred on Thursday at the Swamp/Bartlett Rd intersection just before 10.15am. It was one of several serious crashes in recent days.

Tasman Senior Sergeant Blair Hall says three cars were following a truck along the road towards Motueka. “The truck went to turn into Bartlett Rd and the three cars behind it slowed down to allow this.”

However, a stock truck, travelling behind the cars, failed to see what was happening ahead.

The vehicle directly ahead of the stock truck contained a

Wendy Pearson

“It was a very chaotic scene,” says Blair. “The message from this is to be alert and be aware of what is happening around you, sometimes you can prevent a tragedy.”

Another three-car crash occurred on the Appleby Highway on Sunday near River Rd, in which a woman needed to be cut from the wreckage.

She was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

The Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade, who attended the accident, say that too many crashes are occuring on this wide, straight piece of road.

A third accident, also on Sunday afternoon, involved a motorbike and a car near the McShane Rd intersection.

The condition of the motorists involved is unknown at this time.

family with two children, aged seven and 11.

In an act that possibly saved his children’s lives, the driver saw the stock truck approaching at speed and drove off the road and into a ditch to prevent the truck hitting the back of his vehicle.

“These actions no doubt saved his family from serious injury,” says Blair.

Unfortunately, the stock truck carried on, hitting the next vehicle in the line.

The impact from the truck caused extensive damage and pushed the second vehicle into the front car.

Fortunately, the eight people occupying the three cars involved walked away with only minor injuries and were treated at the scene by St John paramedics.

Bad driving, bad parking, bad news

Gladstone Rd house fire Fire destroyed a home on Gladstone Rd in Richmond on Saturday morning. Fire and Emergency crew from four stations were dispatched to the property shortly after 12.20am, initially helping to stop the spread of the fire to the neighbouring property. While no one was hurt in the fire, unfortunately the family dog was unable to be rescued.

Judene Edgar The new-look Queen St has received accolades from businesses and shoppers, but the police are getting increasingly concerned about bad parking and bad driving habits.

The smooth, continuous road surface was designed to make crossing the street easier for pedestrians and those with limited sight or mobility, however the absence of kerb and channel seems to be just a bit too much for some drivers.

Richmond community constable Kyle Abbott says that he’s received over a dozen complaints about people driving onto the footpath to make U-turns, reversing onto the footpath to help them park, and even parking on the footpath to save walking.

“Drivers need to remember that the footpath is still a footpath,” says Kyle.

“People need to change their behaviour.”

Adrian Bradley from Adrian’s Barber Shop says the parking culture in Richmond needs to change.

“People from out of town will walk, but locals only want to park at the front door,” he says.

Kyle and Adrian join the growing number of businesses along the newly-formed end of Queen St that are concerned that

Craig Keelty from Cartridge World is concerned about the number of cars parking and driving onto the footpath. Photo: Judene Edgar. someone may end up getting hurt.

“I’m getting sick of people swinging onto the footpath to do U-turns or half park on the footpath,” says Cartridge World Richmond shop manager Craig Keelty.

“Odds are there’ll be an accident or injury sooner or later.”

Wooden Spoon owner Nicola Woodbury has already witnessed two incidents where cars have been hit while drivers attempted to park.

“One lady hit the other car and just walked away,” she says. “The parks are quite tight, and people are having trouble parking.”

But Adrian doesn’t believe that the lay-

out is to blame.

“People have driven right up to the shop front,” he says. “You shouldn’t have to hit the kerb to know you’re in the park.”

Adrian also says that he has been abused when he has gone out to talk to people who have parked on footpath. While he says that it does appear to have calmed down a little lately, he hopes that no one gets hurt before drivers cease their dangerous behaviour.

“It will be brilliant when it’s finished,” says Kyle.

“But drivers need to remember that it’s as much a pedestrian area as a traffic area, and we want to keep everyone safe.”

Thanks for a helping hand A Waimea Weekly reader sent us this thank you, hoping that the kind stranger who helped her husband may read this.

“I am ill, so my husband went shopping taking a taxi to get to Pak n Save, Richmond. When he got to the checkout the eftpos card he used was refused as it had expired. He had a bit of cash so asked the lady at the checkout to put some things back. While he was packing the goods he had bought, a kind customer came up to him with a bag containing the rest of his shopping which she had paid for on his behalf.

I hope she may read this. A very big thank you.”

Worst crossing in the region

WEDNESDAY 31 January 2018

Judene Edgar The pedestrian crossing outside St Paul’s school in Richmond has the dubious honour of being the hardest crossing in the region.

Senior Constable Susan Finigan works with schools across the region, teaching road safety awareness and helping to train the student crossing guards.

“Due to the continual flow of cars, they need to find the gaps to put the road patrol signs out,” Susan says.

“But because the gaps generally aren’t on both sides of the road at the same time, we need to put the road patrol signs out on one side and then signal for the cars to stop on the other.”

However, even the presence the uniformed officers signalling cars to stop so the other sign can go down, doesn’t seem to be deterring drivers from speeding up to try and beat the signs.

And it isn’t just one or two motorists.

Susan says that frequently there will be three or four cars that run the gauntlet to avoid giving way, with some even abusing the police officers in the process.

“It isn’t safe to have pedestrians cross to half way, so we need to have both road patrol signs out before people start walking,” she says.

While it’s one of the busiest crossings in the region, the two other busy school crossings on Main Rd, Stoke and Nayland Rd have a similar volume of traffic but don’t experience the same level of problems.

“The others are equally as busy, but we have more trouble here with discourteous drivers,” says Susan. “I don’t know why it is.”

And with schools back this week, there will be extra kids and families walking and cycling, and patrols back on the school crossings.

While council are looking at installing flashing signs, Tasman District Council’s road safety coordinator Krista Hobday says that the presence of two crossing guards, two adults, and two large road patrol signs should be sufficient.

“Please slow down around and near schools,” says Krista.

Susan agrees. “We just need to get kids safely across this crossing.”

Inspiring young learners Jessie Johnston Reporter

jessie@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Fibre optics, soap making and doodlebots were just some of the projects local children got stuck into last week at Garin College, under the guidance of Ministry of Inspiration (MOI).

In the last few weeks Ministry of Inspiration has run three holiday camps in cooking, art and materials. Each week-long camp has its own main theme, as well as integrating aspects of STEAMS education which stands for science, technology, engineering, art, maths, and society.

In the materials camp children constructed a range of projects including clocks, music boxes, hydraulic arms and ping pong guns, as well as their own chair, while those in the art camp created Doodlebots, fibre optic trees and even dissected a squid.

From left, Alex Peterson, Alex Palmer, Malika Rai, Sophie Pahl and Kate Rankin, with some of their projects from Ministry of Inspiration’s materials camp during the school holidays, at Garin College. Photo: Jessie Johnston.

“We have primary school children learning how to use power tools, how to measure, how to cut, saw and drill,” says MOI co-founder Amy Cornelison. “It’s also about building independence and confidence and allowing children to do things they

wouldn’t normally do in school at this time in their life.”

While Ministry of Inspiration’s holidays camps may be over, the start of term one brings new educational opportunities in the form of its STEAMS School. The school has been running for the last two years out of Richmond’s NMIT facilities and is a one-day-a-week programme designed for any motivated learner, with classes available for children aged five to 12.

“Our focus is to turn kids on to learning, in a small class environment,” says Amy. “The junior class only has 12 students and the senior class has 16, so it’s very individualised. If your kids are interested in something, sign them up, just take that plunge and do it.”

Head along to the Open Day on Thursday, February 8, between 4pm and 6pm at NMIT on Lower Queen St or go to the Ministry of Inspiration Facebook page for information.

Wheely good challenge offers bragging rights Judene Edgar Riding a bike for just 10 minutes is a relatively easy ask, but it’s even easier during February with bragging rights, and the chance to win amazing prizes, up for offer.

Throughout the month of February, organisations across the country compete against each other as part of the online Aotearoa Bike Challenge. Tasman District Council is hoping to retain their title as the highest par-

ticipating council.

Community partnerships coordinator Mike Tasman-Jones says that last year 59 per cent of staff took part, which was the highest in the country.

“It’s a fun thing to do and great for team building,” says Mike. “The most fun is the conversations around the workplace.”

However, Sport Tasman have thrown down the gauntlet with community sport advisor Braden Prideaux saying that they’re aiming to have

100 per cent of their staff biking.

Last year 46 organisations across the top of the south participated, and Braden says that he’d like even more to jump on board this year.

Mike says that the Aotearoa Bike Challenge is a fun, free competition that’s all about participation, not how far or how fast people can ride. It’s not about who can ride the most kilometres, but who can encourage the most people to give cycling a try, even on an

e-bike.

“It’s great seeing people who haven’t been on a bike for 20 years giving it a go and trying out all the cool places to ride,” says Mike.

Prizes are based on staffing levels, with those organisations who can get the highest percentage of their total workforce turning the pedals coming out on top.

More information on the Aotearoa Bike Challenge and entry details can be found at lovetoride.net.

Kiwi Conservation Judene Edgar Young conservationists and outdoor adventurers can join the more than 5000 Kiwi Conservation Club (KCC) members nationwide, thanks to locals Sally Leggett and Scooter Palmer.

The aim of KCC is to connect children and their families with nature, and Sally says this is what she loves about it.

“They didn’t have KCC when I was little, but I remember being totally inspired going on nature walks with my parents when I was a kid,” says Sally.

Along with the opportunity to go on organised events, KCC members also get the quarterly ‘Wild Things’ kids magazine, and access to activities, competitions, projects and challenges to help them explore, discover, and love New Zealand’s wildlife.

“Our son Finn has been a member of the Kiwi Conservation Club and he loved it, and after the last coordinator gave it away he really missed it,” says Sally.

“But we thought ‘crikey, we can do this’”.

The first event they have planned is a family walk up Jimmy Lee Creek in Richmond, with a Toyota Kiwi guardians medal on completion, provided on the day.

Sally says that the walk is open to members, as well as to families interested in becoming members.

The Jimmy Lee Creek walk in Richmond starts at 10am on Sunday, February 4. Bookings are essential. Go to kcc.org.nz/events/jimmy-leecreek-walk/ or email Sally and Scooter at nelsontasman@kcc.org.nz.

Queen Street Upgrade starts again on 7 February Work to complete the remaining underground infrastructure upgrades and streetscaping on Richmond’s Queen Street begins on 7 February.

The project, which is an extensive replacement and upgrade of the ageing and undersized water and stormwater pipes that serve central Richmond, combined with street reprofiling to improve flood resilience, was always scheduled to continue into 2018 after a break for the summer retail season. The scheduled completion date is the end of May 2018.

The work this year will kick off with the replacement of the remaining undersized stormwater pipe up through the Salisbury Road roundabout. At the same time, Stage 4 construction works will kick off from just past Sundial Square up to the Richmond Night 'n Day dairy – the remaining underground pipes will be replaced and the street surface rebuilt to the new, flood-minimising design.

Street remains open Queen Street will remain open for business! Pedestrian access to shops will be open at all times during the day,

and at least one footpath will always be accessible at night. There’s heaps of off-street parking as well as onstreet parking in the areas not under construction. Please continue to support our local businesses through the remaining works.

Vehicle access and road closures The area from just past Sundial Square up to the Richmond Night 'n Day will be closed to traffic. There will also be partial road closures on different parts of the street from the dairy up to Salisbury Road as the stormwater and water pipe replacement work progresses.

Please take care in the area and follow the instructions of traffic management staff.

Work on upgrading Queen Street restarts on 7 February.

Remember – there’s a permanent 30kmh speed limit on Queen Street.

Just a thought...

Merrick Mitchell

Lay Pastoral Leader, Richmond Catholic Church Here we are, a month past Christmas already! The schools have started, and many people have returned from a break and are back at work. Things are cranking up for another year.

Each New Year brings a sense of freshness as we return to familiar routines, full of good intentions.

Many of us make New Year resolutions which we sincerely believe we will keep this time around! By now, these may have fallen by the wayside and been forgotten!

Maybe another way of bringing some improvement to our lives is to wait until the excitement and busyness of Christmas and New Year is over. When things have settled down we can look to being more realistic. For example – run an ultra-marathon? Forget it! Get more exercise by walking more?

Yes! We could perhaps set resolutions that we can aspire to rather than ones that are specific. Like general principles to live by instead of definite resolutions, with more chance of sticking to them.

So, here are three possibilities, offered in a spirit of optimism - rest easy, it’s guaranteed that we will all fail at these things, but give them a

go anyway!

See goodness. See the good in people, even those you don’t get along with. In every situation, try and find the good things and opportunities among the challenges and difficulties. Count your blessings. See life as a gift, not a privilege.

Live simply. Live with less. Less stuff at home. Declutter your possessions. Have fewer but more treasured things around you. Give away items you no longer need or use. Slow down, watch the sunrise, watch the rain. Be with family and friends. Put space between your daily commitments. Do less.

Love all. Be gentle and kind to others, including yourself. Do things for others, without expectation of reward. Be considerate.

Forgive others when they wrong you. Forgive yourself likewise. Be compassionate to all creatures.

You already know that none of these is easy! You could add a fourth to tie them together - make time for God. “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

Have this priority and you will find awareness of God will influence everything you do. Spend time with God, in prayer, and in one of our local churches.

And we can always try again next year!

Blessings in this summer season.

Music appreciation moving Jessie Johnston After a change of venue and support from some generous benefactors, Richmond’s music appreciation group can now enjoy their favourite musicians and composers through the best technology.

An offshoot of a Waimea Ladies Probus group, Music on Tuesday was created around 20 years ago. It was opened to the wider community and now attracts around 40 people to its monthly sessions.

Originally held on a Friday, out of St David’s on Florence St, the group has recently relocated to

the Richmond Town Hall and changed its sessions to the first Tuesday of the month. Music on Tuesday is also grateful for the financial input from Network Tasman, Tasman District Council and Sport Tasman, which has allowed for the purchase of a brand-new projector, screen, DVD player and surround sound.

“Our first meeting in the new venue will be on Waitangi Day and we will be listening to Kiri Te Kanawa’s New Zealand concert,” says founding member Cecile Strang.

“Our sessions often involve a documentary as well as a con-

As well as enhancing the group’s music appreciation sessions, the technology is available for all who use the hall and will certainly be well utilised with around 200,000 people passing through the hall’s doors every year.

Call for electoral system poll Judene Edgar Local voters have just two weeks to sign a petition calling on Tasman District Council to hold a poll as to what electoral system council should use.

Petition organiser Liz Thomas says that the council decided last year to retain First Past the Post (FPP), but she believes that the decision belongs to the voters.

“Council shouldn’t be making decisions about how they’re voted in,” she says.

“The decision is too important to be left to our elected representatives.”

FPP, where voters place a tick beside the name of their preferred candidate or candidates, is used in national elections and the majority of local body elections. STV, which is a proportional electoral system where voters rank candidates in order of preference, has been adopted by eight councils around the country, however legislation requires District Heath Board elections to be held using the STV system.

Every six years councils must review their electoral system with the public given the right to demand a poll. At least five per cent of eligible enrolled voters from the district must sign the petition, and Liz is aiming to get 2000 signatures by February 14.

“This is one of the basic tenets of our democratic system,” says Liz. Former Tasman District councillor and Nelson Marlborough DHB member Gordon Currie says, “whatever the system, it would be easier to have the same for the DHBs and the three councils”.

“There seemed to be more valid votes from Marlborough for the DHB because they already use and understand STV,” he says.

Gordon notes that under FPP candidates can split the vote, meaning there isn’t necessarily a clear mandate.

In the 2013 local body elections, mayoral candidate Kit Maling, who lost by only 734 votes to incumbent Richard Kempthorne, attributed his failure to be elected to votesplitting. Richard won with only 6149 votes and, between them, the other mayoral candidates received 10,145 votes.

Despite this frustrating loss, Kit voted to retain FPP as the voting system for council elections.

“I think STV confuses people, and we should actually be looking at changing the DHB system rather than the council system.”

The last poll was held in 2003 with Tasman voters delivering a resounding 9356 to 5867 in favour of retaining FPP, whereas in Nelson it was only narrowly defeated, 6987 votes to 6093. However, after the national election last year, the debate about the relative merits of STV versus FPP reignited.

People who voted for The Opportunities Party weren’t happy about their “wasted votes” and, locally, many suggested that Nelson MP Nick Smith may have lost his seat using STV. “My personal opinion is that STV is a fairer system, produces fewer “wasted” votes and results in approximately proportional representation,” says Liz. “But signing the petition won’t change the system, it just gives people the right to decide for themselves.”

Copies of the petition are available at Tasman District libraries, or for more information or petition forms people can contact Liz Thomas at lizthomaspost@gmail. com or phone 021 106 4201.

Sarau Festival a stunner

Brittany Spencer

The sun was high in the sky and there were smiles all around at Sunday’s Sarau Festival.

Thousands gathered at the Moutere Hills Community Centre for the annual fund-raising festival that celebrates Moutere, its people, and its blackcurrant industry. Everything from Ribena and blackcurrants, crafts, jewellery and workshops, to beer and bacon was on offer, including the annual Barker’s Blackcurrant Cooking Competition.

Youngster Zoe Brooks took out the children section with her stand out ‘Blackcurrant Spectacular Meringue Cake’.

“We’ve been very impressed by the entries, especially all the children’s entries, there’s been a lot of thought involved,” says

judge Jacqui Kennedy.

Contestants of all ages offered preserves, desserts, baking and drinks, and several entries surprised the judges in the innovative and original recipes section.

But it wasn’t just the food that drew the crowd, thousands gathered in front of the stage listening to the lineup of performers and sipping on blackcurrant juice as the sun slipped over the Mount Arthur range.

“It was the perfect day for it,” says organiser Jenny Leith, who has run the Sarau Festival since it began more than a decade ago.

“We try to create a really happy, relaxed atmosphere and we had so many great stallholders for people to come and see.”

Even after 11 years of running the festival, Jenny says she still gets the same feeling at 2.30pm.

“Ten minutes before it kicks off you always think, ‘what if no one comes to see us?’ There is always a big crowd but I can’t help it.”

However, Sunday’s packed out crowd was Jenny’s last. Jenny, who has fondly been known as the backbone of the festival since it began, is stepping back.

“It’s become better and better and we have such great energy amongst the team, it’s great to see all their hard work come together and I’m sure they’ll do an amazing job taking it over.”

Volunteer Michelle MacNeil says Jenny will definitely be missed and says she’s amazed by what Jenny has grown the now iconic festival into.

“We’ve been doing this together for 11 years but now she’s handing over the reins. She is an amazing lady.”

Mastering the science of growing grapes Judene Edgar Alan Eggers knows that good wine starts in the vineyard and sticking to this guiding principle is paying off for the multiple award-winning vineyard owner.

Along with partner Susan Campbell, the fifth generation Nelsonian and geologist has used his understanding of soil science and experience overseas to develop Falcon Ridge Estate just outside of Wakefield.

Alan and Susan bought the former deer farm in 2009 and spent the next three years clearing the gorse, re-contouring the land, and building four dams. They also undertook a major environmental restoration project including a lake, wetlands, rehabilitation of the mature totara forest, and 14km of walking tracks.

“We have planted over 400,000 native trees and plants,” Alan says.

The first vines on the small eighthectare vineyard were planted in 2012 with a meticulous attention to details. From getting the pH levels correct, to only running two canes to get concentrated flavours, and hand-picking the single-block grapes, Alan says “everything we do is to produce the best grapes”.

Alan says that sustainable viticultural practices have been implemented including close planting, balanced soil characters, grassed

Photo: Judene Edgar. vineyard, careful cane selection and bunch control, along with limited irrigation and spraying, to deliver premium quality fullflavoured vine-ripened fruit to the winemaker.

“It’s about producing high-quality fruit, doing as little as possible to it – we don’t blend, and we don’t add any products – the grapes are the product,” he says.

“Our philosophy is to produce

premium quality fruit and guide the grapes into the bottle.”

And this philosophy has been paying off. Despite their first vintage being in 2015, Falcon Ridge wines have already taken home

27 national and international awards from just two vintages.

“We only produce around 1700 cases a year,” says Susan.

“We have a great winemaker, Tony Southgate, who can turn our great grapes into a fine wine.”

Alan thought their year had ended on a high in November last year, winning the champion exhibition red wine trophy at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards with their 2016 syrah. But things got even better when their 2015 sauvignon blanc took home the Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters 2017 masters trophy in London.

A masters award is the ultimate accolade, given only to exceptional wines.

“It’s like the gold of the gold,” says Alan.“Only three other wines received a masters.”

Falcon Ridge’s victory saw them competing against the Chateau de Tracy vineyard in Loire, France, which has been planted with sauvignon and run by the same family since the 14th century, which received a gold in the same category.

“They are celebrated as one of the best in the world,” says Alan.

Ideally located along Tasman’s Great Taste Trail on Higgins Rd, the Falcon Ridge cellar door is open to the public, so you can try for yourself. For opening hours or shopping information, go to their Facebook page, Falcon Ridge Estate.

Best quality, best service and the best chaps for the job Motoreka Ltd is a used vehicle dealership selling quality vehicles sourced from Japan, right here on Motueka’s High Street. And now there’s a new string to their business bow: in addition to offering excellent cars and competitive vehicle finance, now there’s top-quality servicing, too.

“We only buy grade four and above quality cars,” emphasises Racheal Cancian, the brains behind this business which has been operating in Motueka since 2014.

Fully compliant Buyers are welcome to view the auction sheets which detail the specifics of the vehicles.

“We only buy vehicles that are comply with all the regulations, are registered, warranted and with no on-road costs.”

Now there’s servicing One of the other services that Motoreka offers

is quick and easy, competitive vehicle financing.

And now, there’s motor vehicle servicing, too, thanks to the recent arrival of fullyqualified mechanics, Alan Monahan and Josh Numan.

West Coast business Al had his own business on the West Coast for 15 years before moving back this way.

Being the professionals they are, Al and Josh have an extensive client base in the Tasman area, and are hoping to see these familiar faces at their new place of work in Motueka.

Racheal Cancian started the highly successful car company, Motoreka, in 2014 in Motueka.

The 40th New Zealand Hang Gliding Nationals kicked off in style, and in heat, in Murchison this weekend.

Forty-six hang-gliding pilots from all over the world have entered the championships, which run for eight days from Saturday, January 27 through to Saturday, February 3.

The gliders are setting off from Mt Murchison, and a minimum of four days flying are needed for contestant’s scores to be counted.

Practice day on Friday 26 with a light south-west wind from atop Mt Murchison provided ideal conditions for anyone who wanted to fly. Day one of the competition was very

hot with great skies and light winds making for fantastic flying.

Task one was a 90km run to Maruia in the south with a return to Murchison airport.

New Zealand’s John Smith won the day with fellow Kiwi Matt Barlow in second and Ollie Chitty from Great Britain in third. The day ended with thunder resounding around the valleys.

The weather impacted on Sunday’s tasks, resulting in a shorter local triangle task so pilots were down before the thunder struck again. Ollie Chitty was first, followed by John Smith and Canadian Evan Smith in third.

Task three was a 94km run heading east towards St Arnaud, on to the St Arnaud range above Lake Rotoiti and then landing at the airstrip. New Zealand took the top honours on task three with John Smith first again, followed once more

by Matt Barlow and Derek McKee third. Kiwi Les Graham celebrated his 62nd birthday in style, coming in eighth.

After three days of competition, three time and current New Zealand champion John Smith is in the overall lead in the Open Class, with Christchurch’s Matt Barlow in second and Derek McKee in third.

In the Sport Class Peter Siess of Austria leads.

Nelson Heat Baseball teams victorious in both divisions at South Island tournament Nelson Heat baseball teams came out on top over the weekend winning both divisions of the Jim Kaat Invitational in Christchurch.

The local club sent two teams to compete, U13s and U16s.

The U13 team went unbeaten over the course of the tournament while the U16 team’s final against Selwyn was a three-hour, nine innings thriller which saw two tie-breaker innings.

Nelson Heat Baseball Club president Tom Kroos says that the teams worked hard and stayed focussed in order to achieve their first placings.

“The players were put into really stressful situations at times but they handled them with ease.”

The U16 final was testament to that, says coach Marty Grant.

The team managed to keep cool heads throughout, despite their marathon match on a scorching hot Christchurch day.

Tied at 8-all at the bottom of the seventh, the game went into a tie-breaker. In the top of the eighth, Selwyn scored four runs, making the job seem almost impossible for the visiting side.

However, Nelson managed to also bring in four runs from safe hits by James Fleet and Tane Mumu.

Nelson managed to keep the home side scoreless in the second tie breaker, the ninth

The U13 team was also outstanding, proving effective with the bat and on base in order to take their four wins from four.

Kroos says that the fledging team outperformed even their own expectations.

“To finish a game with loaded bags by taking a triple play is an event none of us will forget,” he says.

At prize-giving, event organisers recognised Tama Little for his instigation of the triple play and Kelian Landry

for the only triple bag hit of the U13 tournament. Pitchers Levi Chase and James Matthews were also noteworthy.

While in the U16s, Lawton and Harrison Kroos sat high on the batting statistics, and Cooper Grant kept scorelines close from the mound.

Tane Mumu was named as MVP of the final.

Coach Grant says his club’s teams relished the tournament experience and saw the games as stepping stones towards improving as a club, as individuals and as teams.

riences and lessons learned from all intercity and interclub games.

Club president Tom Kroos says the club was especially proud of the weekend’s wins as the tournament is named for MLB legend Jim Kaat who spent time in Nelson last year with the club.

“Jim Kaat is a baseball professional who last year provided us with encouragement and support because he believed in us. It is an honour that we could bring his namesake trophy home to Nelson. It is our way to say ‘thank you Jim, for helping us believe in ourselves.”

Tasman United was outclassed by Team Wellington at Saxton Field on Saturday, losing 4-1.

Tasman showed glimpses of attack, particularly towards the end of the first half, but when Wellington scored its third in the 63rd minute of the ISPS Handa Premiership fix-

ture, the game was put beyond doubt. Tasman responded with a goal in the final minutes when debutant Ben Wright found the back of the net, but it was far too late.

While the result is disappointing, Tasman coach Davor Tavich says his players gave it their all against a very good

Team Wellington side. "It was a very hard game but the players left everything out there, so there isn't much more you can ask for."

Tasman, which now sits 5th on the national league table, will again play host next weekend when 7th-placed Hawke’s Bay come to Saxton Field.

In reply Nelson never got going, with its top four batsmen all out without reaching double figures.

Nelson's top scorer was number nine Daniel Grimes who finished with 63 not out. The only other Nelson batsman to get into double digits was captain Willem Ludick who finished with 40.

That left Nelson with a low 153, handing control to Marlborough who batted out the rest of play on day 2 to finish on 69/2, winning the game on the first innings.

FOOTBALL Another shake-up of players at Tasman United was confirmed last week with two more leaving and four new faces arriving.

Tasman announced earlier this month that it had let go four players – Robbie Pearson, Kieran Smith, Tinashe Marowa and Alex Ridsdale.

Nelson Matters I thank the Weekly for this new ‘Nelson Matters’ column. It’s an opportunity to champion Nelson’s cause. It will keep Nelson readers informed of what’s happening in Parliament affecting our community and future.

I’m optimistic about Nelson’s prospects in 2018.

Our unemployment is down to just 2.2 per cent. Our region has been ranked the top performing economy in New Zealand. Local exporting, tourism, building and retail activity is at record levels.

The Government books are in such good shape that family

incomes get a boost on 1 April.

The mix has been modified by the new Government from what National proposed in last year’s budget, but payments like Family Support and the Accommodation Supplement are still going up.

It will directly help 20,000 households by up to $200 a week and put an extra $25 million into our local economy.

Nelson is hosting, for the first time ever, all three of our leading national sports teams, the Black Caps, Silver Ferns and All Blacks. Our own teams like the Mako, Tasman United and Gi-

ants are looking hot.

We have six important regional projects coming to fruition this year. The Saxton Velodrome is opening in February, the Greenmeadows Centre in Stoke in March, the School of Music in April, the new Nelson Airport terminal in August and the new Nelson Hospice in October.

Environmental gains expected this year include the reintroduction of takahe into the Kahurangi National Park and kaka and kiwi into the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary following hard-won pest control programmes. These iconic birds have been absent

from these areas for yonks and we should celebrate their return.

These positive developments for Nelson have each involved years of work, much of it voluntary, and we must thank the councils and community leaders that are helping Nelson get ahead.

This optimism does not overlook some real issues facing our community. Growing traffic congestion and an increase in our road toll have to be addressed. Nelson and Tasman households and businesses contribute $100 million each year in petrol taxes and road user charges and we cannot let Gov-

ernment siphon these funds off for other transport projects in other regions. There is a housing shortage and we need to ensure new construction continues to grow. We need to address local problems of water supply and quality.

We need to get underway planning work on a new Nelson Hospital that is seismically safer and strengthen our mental health services.

My ideas are in my annual speech to Nelson Rotary, available at www.nick4nelson.nz.

I value any feedback.

Advt.

New youth stock champ for speedway Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway welcomed former All Black Chris Jack, the Tasman ambassador for Child Cancer, along with a group of families as special guests on Saturday night.

The kids participated in the grand parade and watched the demolition derby, where a car was donated as a fund-raiser along with several other auctions taking place over the week.

There was plenty happening on the track as well, a huge field of side cars were on show, while Productions, Super Stocks and Stock cars ran best pairs and the Youth Ministocks ran their hotlycontested club champs. The TQ’s had their final hit out before the NZ championship here in a fortnight's time.

It wasn’t a good night for the 93 production of Tony Diedrichs, a cv joint blowing in the first heat while leading, then the engine blowing up in flames in the 2nd race.

The best pairs on the night were Jarod Fisher and Kaylim McNabb. The Stock cars welcomed ex youth driver Hamish Carter to the grade but it was a horror start with the car parked up before the green flag, but he managed 8th spot in the final heat to end the night successfully.

The best pairs on the night was one way traffic, Keightley Teece and Curtis Bandy clearing out by a 17 point margin.

The Super Stocks were having a final hit out before heading to Palmerston North for Teams champs next week, with Brad Neiman named as the 6th driver for the Tigers. He went out in Trevor Lineham’s car for some hot laps and was clearly enjoying the car, a big step up from the stock car.

Dale McKenzie got some much-needed practice after not having raced for a couple of seasons; he picked up two wins and won best pairs with Alex Hill.

The Youth Ministock club champs were always going to be tough to pick a winner, it’s the most competitive grade at the moment. The referees were kept busy all night, they were getting tough on contact, drivers were handicapped to the rear of the field in the next race. It was all about consistency with Raiden Hearne winning by a point over Riley Eathorne, with Hadley Boyce winning a run-off for 3rd over Zac Baker.

Thirteen side-cars fronted for the night, the pairing of Adie Drake and Kieran Satherley won the final race of the night with a hair-raising inside pass on the other undefeated team of Lionel Green and Shane Breach, it was great racing with the extra visitors, hopefully they will return again. The derby was won by the little green Lada of Clint Paris, the eastern European car too strong for its Japanese counterparts; he took home $500 for his efforts.

Golden weekend for Nelson athletes Peter Gibbs

The day after he turned 20, Hayden Squance became New Zealand's national triathlon champion over the Olympic distance on a testing course at Corsair Bay near Christchurch on Sunday.

At the same time, 20-year-old Luke Kelly tore apart a field of 564 of the country's best long distance swimmers to win the 3.3km Interislander Capital Classic, race three of the Banana Boat Ocean Swim Series in Wellington.

The pair have been competitors since their early teens, when both competed in both sea swimming and triathlon, with Kelly having the upper hand early on.

Over recent years it's been Squance who has shone, becoming one of the top local competitors in sea swimming, running and cycling.

This year Kelly has come back to swimming with a vengeance, leading the Port Nelson swim series after a series of thrilling sprint finishes with Squance, taking most by just a second or two.

The ability to rise to the sprint finish stood Kelly in good stead in the Wellington race from Frank Kitts Park to the Point Jerningham lighthouse, then around the fountain to the beach by Freyberg Pool.

Well known marathon swimmer Ben Campbell-MacDonald has a long history of success in the national ocean swim series and on Sunday he set off with a mission to win again, establishing an early break.

Kelly couldn't keep on CampbellMacDonald's feet, but tracked him all the way across the harbour, finally catching him in the

sprint to the beach as he took a better line and had a stronger run to the finish, winning in 39 minutes 37 seconds, a margin of two seconds. His heroics earned the Nelson swimmer the gold medal for overall winner as well as gold in the M20-24 age group.

Kelly didn't take all the glory in Wellington, with 19 Nelson

Father and son, 57 and 15, self-employed, responsible and honest would like a place to shoot. Deer rabbits goats etc. Happy to work out a payment (from stocking the liquor cabinet on a regular basis) to paying a cash lease for a reasonable lease charge.

Very careful, respectful of rules and regulations on property and willing to abide by Farmers instructions on animal types and numbers etc.

Just want to enjoy the great outdoors closer to Richmond. Love to shoot around Murchison etc.

Both members of two gun clubs and licenced hunters. Have our own modern 4wd and accommodation. Please email at babaji05@xtra.co.nz or 0275449448. Thanks.
