One of Nelson’s most popular events, the Women’s Lifestyle Expo returns this week-end. Renee Murray of Peacocks Promotions Ltd, organisers of the expo, says with many other expos coming and going over the years, the Women’s Lifestyle Expo has flour-ished. “There are not many events in the region that see over 110 exhibits in one venue. One reason for the Expo’s continued success is the way we try and keep the Expo fresh for visitors, so year after year they can see new companies and new entertain-ment” This year there is lots on offer for the local “foodies”. Local Chef, Stuart Cliffin, from Relish Waterfront Dining will feature at this year’s Expo with cooking demonstra-tions held each day. There are also a range of gourmet goods to tempt your taste buds, such as wine, truffles, confectionary, organic coffee, natural lemonade, vodka and much more. Local brewery McCashin’s will feature on site with their variety of spirits, beer and cider. All their products are lovingly handcrafted from traditional recipes and they use only the finest natural ingredients, sourced mainly from Nelson. Local wineries will also be represented at the Expo including Milcrest Estate, Crighton Estate and Golden Hills Estates.One lucky Expo visitor could win a trip for two to beautiful Vanuatu with New Idea Magazine who will also feature at the Expo, handing out free copies of their latest issue while stocks last.With over 110 exhibitors the Expo offers something for everyone or all ages. Bring your friends, mothers or daughters or simply enjoy a day to spoil yourself. The Women’s Lifestyle Expo is on at the Trafalgar Centre, April 9 and 10, for more information or to join the VIP database and your chance to win see www.expos.co.nz or find us on Facebook.

Report confirms church liedTeresa Hattan

Intermediate teachers told to get on their bikes

The decision to cut down an anicent oak tree be-cause it was rotten has been releved as a lie.An independent report commissioned by the Tasman District Council and passed to Waimea Weekly states the Holy Trinity Church oak tree was “healthy” and comments from the church stating the tree was rotten and therefore needed to be removed for safety reasons, were untrue.The report, completed in January by United Group, was put together to provide an arbori-cultural assessment of the health and condition of the tree.The report says the tree had good structural form and despite being close to overhead power lines, this was not considered a significant safety issue.The writer of the report, Dominic Williams, be-lieved the oak tree was a sound specimen and if managed correctly would have had a strong future. “From a broader amenity and historical perspective the tree is also an important and val-uable asset, not only to the Holy Trinity Church site but to the wider district,” he wrote. The report also stated that as communities de-velop and expand the value of historical assets are increasingly being recognised and factored into, rather than out of, development plans.The Holy Trinity Church removed the 100 year-old oak tree in early March because of plans to build a community centre on the site. The report recommended the tree be left standing and un-harmed, a call backed up by several local arbo-rists. Waimea Weekly made several calls to the church to get comment, but they were not re-turned at the time of print.

Waimea Intermediate School have always done things a little differently.For the past three or four years staff have been using bicycles to move around the large school grounds on Salisbury Rd.Principal Cleve Shearer says the idea was introduced when former deputy principal Bruce Dobbie returned to school after having surgery. Bruce had trouble getting around school so one day he turned up with a bike.When he retired the staff contin-ued to use the bike, which Bruce donated to the school, so more were purchased.Cleve says the staff find using bikes useful to get around the school grounds and teachers find it easier to interact with students when they are riding around on the two wheeled vehicles instead of walking. “If we’re walking they may or may not talk to us, but when we’re biking we always get a hello.”Moving throughout the campus, which includes Henley School and Waimea College, is also eas-ier now the school uses bikes.“And if we’re worried about a certain area we can get there much faster and more efficiently now,” says Cleve. Schools using bikes is a novelty idea and Cleve says he doesn’t know of any other school using this mode of transport. “We even have ladies bikes for the female teachers, not that they use them much.”

The Tasman Cycle Loop is making huge progress through the region and a large number of cyclists will be travelling through the district soon. This week we ask, what are your memories

of learning to ride a bike?

Lyn Buckley.

“It was an adult bike and I remember going down Clou-ston Terrace and going head over the handle bars. I re-member it quite clearly be-cause I hurt myself.”

Daniel Granger.

“I learnt to ride when I was six but I fell off and broke my collar bone over the weekend actually.”

Carrie Stringer.

“My parents taught me on the farm but sadly it was on a hill. I remember getting my first bike one Christmas and my dad teaching me.”

Max Buckley.

“I had to cycle to school. We lived in the country and I had to bike into town regardless of the weather. It was six miles each way and it wasn’t flat ei-ther.”

* Public meetings are still continuing in the district, enabling ratepayers and res-idents the opportunity to find out about and discuss with councillors, commu-nity board members and council offic-ers what is in the Draft Annual Plan for 2011-2012. Next Tuesday a meeting will be held in the Wakefield Village Hall from 3.30pm to 5.30pm and the An-glican Church Hall from 7.30pm. Next Thursday will see a meeting held at the TDC building from 3pm to 5pm and then again from 7.30pm.

*More than 1400 West Coast and Tas-man businesses as of April 1 stand to receive a cut in company tax. Company tax has been cut from 30 percent to 28 percent.

The number of burglaries and car thefts committed in Nelson last year has been slashed compared to 2009, helping police record an impressive 9.2 percent drop in overall crime.There were 8764 crimes reported in Nel-son Bays for the 2010 year and 53.5 per-cent of those were resolved. The national crime resolution rate was 47.5 percent.Nelson Bays Area Commander Inspector Brian McGurk said the figures reflected the big drop in burglaries, down 12.9 per-cent, and theft of and from vehicles, down 20.5 percent.The biggest increase in recorded offending was for sexual assault and related offences, which went up by 127.3 percent from 55 to 120 offences. The resolution rate for this

type of offending was also up, with 82.4 percent of crimes solved.The rise is attributed to a greater number of victims now reporting, rather an in-crease in actual offences, which previously may have gone unreported. While Nelson Bays performed favourably at national level, the entire Tasman Police District has come out at the top of the field.Tasman Police District includes the West Coast, Nelson Bays and Marlborough. Tasman had the top equal crime resolution rate in the country and was the third high-est performing district for reducing re-corded crime. The Tasman resolution rate remained stable, at about 57 percent, well above the national average, and the report-ed crime was reduced by about 8 percent.

WOODEN BEAMS: Gibbons managing director Scott Gibbons and site manager Dennis Bur-man inspect the laminated veneer lumber beams that are used in the TNL building on Lower Queen St. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Wooden beams made here for local businessThe first company in the Oaks Business Park in Richmond is taking shape, but it will look a little different than most.The park, located off Lower Queen St, will be home to transporting company TNL Distribu-tion next month.But what makes this building different from most is the laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams it is made of. The 3000 square metre building has been constructed by local company Gibbons Construction and managing director Scott Gib-bons says the wooden beams are supplied and manufactured by another local company, Nel-

son Pine Industries. The trees are also locally sourced. Scott says the advantages of working on this project is that it involves supporting local suppliers and contractors that are familiar with dealing with wooden based products. “Wood is a sustainable, natural, attractive product, with excellent properties of durability, acoustic per-formance and fire performance.”Site manager Dennis Burman says LVL is not difficult to build with compared to steel. “It’s advantages is in its strength, it can span a lot more distance then the standard piece of timber would, it’s super strong.”

Best apples stay local as costs to export soar

APPLE MAN: David Easton of Eastons Apples in Appleby says he loves growing the popular fruit and this year’s harvest is going quite well. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

This year’s apple harvest is going well but local growers are still concerned about their potential return, meaning more ap-ples could stay local.David Easton of Easton Apples in Apple-by says this year’s harvest is an improve-ment on last season as they haven’t had the disease problems from 12 months ago. “I think the fruit quality is very good, it eats very well and the yields are good.” Fruit sizing is smaller than last year but David says for some of the markets this is a good thing. “Different markets want dif-ferent sized fruit and different qualities.”David says this year’s problem, like the past several years, is New Zealand’s bad exchange rate.“The minimum wage in New Zealand is higher than it is in the United States. Our labour costs in New Zealand are a lot high-er than they are in France, Italy and the United States who are our main competi-tors and they’re significantly higher than Chile and South Africa. Right now New Zealand’s labour costs per unit of produc-tion is probably the highest in the world with apples.”It is now the second half of the apple sea-son which is the busiest time at the orchard according to David. “Most of our fruit are the later season varieties which tend to be

the longer storing varieties like Eve.”Around 35 percent of New Zealand’s total production of apples comes from the Nel-son region. “We like to think it produces the highest quality of fruit. The terroir [the combination of climate, soil, variety and the process] here is really suited to great eating apples,” says David.Apples play a large factor in the way the Nelson and Tasman district operates. For 12 months of the year employment is of-fered to locals and visitors alike. “You’ve got your peak time but over summer it’s a major employment for students with apple thinning,” says David.David believes there aren’t a lot of Kiwis who are able to pick apples for 10 weeks, so generally there are RSE workers, which are people from the Pacific Islands, or back-packers working in the region. “The per-manent staff are all Kiwis and a lot of the supplementary staff tend to be either from the Pacific Islands or on working holiday visas.”David says economically the growers in the region are struggling, particularly over the last five years because of the exchange rate. “We’ve become uncompetitive in the world market. There is no wonder Ameri-cans are selling apples and making a whole lot of money into our traditional markets in Asia. They’re undercutting New Zea-land exporters and we can’t compete.”

The exhibition detailing the incredible journey the region’s early settlers took from England to Nelson is in its final two weeks and Museum chief Peter Millward is determined that as many people as possible are going to see it.Already more than 13,000 people have been through the Port Nelson Haven Ahoy! exhibition at the Nelson Provincial Museum but for the last two weeks entry will be free to those who take along the voucher printed in this newspaper. The coupon is for a family pass for the exhibition.Peter says it is important that as many people in the region as possible can see the story of how the first Nelsonians arrived here. “It has been ex-tremely popular exhibition and I’ve been thrilled with the response it’s got and the interest from so many people in the community.” The exhibition is housed upstairs at the Mu-seum’s Trafalgar St/Hardy St site. Peter says the exhibition has been one of the most successful the museum has run and more than 3000 school children have been through it. That is close to a third of all primary school children in the whole of Nelson and Tasman. “As a learning tool it is very valuable, the edu-cation programme really tells the story in a fun and interactive way that children have loved,” he says.The exhibition closes on April 17 so Peter is urg-ing anyone who has not yet been through the ex-hibition to cut out the coupon (at the bottom of page 19) and get along to see it.“This is the last chance and I urge people to come and have a look. Our region has a proud history and a fascinating one.”For more information you can phone the mu-seum on 548-9588.

MODEL A RALLY: Rebel A’s club members, from left, Ross Sharpe, Don Connew and Derek Thom-ason prepare for the annual New Zealand Model A rally next weekend. Absent is Dave Leitch. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

The biggest touring Model A rally in the country will take place throughout the Top of the South this weekend.The tenth New Zealand Model A nationals, organ-ised by Nelson members of the New Zealand Re-bel A’s, will leave the Hope Hall on April 14 and be back there again on the 21st.The public are welcome to attend from 4.30pm to 7pm next Thursday and from 2pm onwards on the 21st to view these cars.The Model A Ford Club in New Zealand is a chap-ter of the American group. New Zealand’s club was founded in April 1996 and now has some 60 members throughout the country, including lo-cal members Ross Sharpe from Richmond, Don Connew from Brightwater and Derek Thomason from Hope. The group’s up-coming rally will head to Blenheim via the Wairau Valley and then com-plete a loop by going through Christchurch and across to Greymouth. To date there are 125 entries including 20 vehicles from America and two from Canada. There will be over 100 Model A’s on the tour ranging from 1928 through to 1931, the years they were manu-factured.

Top of the South tour for Model A’s

Late last month the Waimea Methodist Parish held a community function in the Wesley Centre to celebrate the culture of the Duchy of Cornwall in SW England, and to raise funds for the recent Christchurch earthquake. Songs were sung, yarns were spun, poems were recited and scrumptious creamed scones and jam a-plenty were ate. In total $291 raised on the day.

Steve Gray describes the game of bridge as the chess game of cards.Steve and another Richmond local Lindsay Guy recently returned from the Gold Coast Congress as winners of the Seres McMahon mixed team event. Lindsay and Steve, along with two Australians, were winners of this category at the largest bridge tournament in the Southern hemisphere.The tournament saw 2000 players descend on the Gold Coast for a week of bridge playing and sight seeing. Steve says bridge is similar to the game 500 and you certainly have to have your wits about you.The pair have been playing the game for a num-ber of years, with Steve learning when he was in school and Lindsay being taught by her husband.Both Lindsay and Steve belong to the Nelson Bridge Club and were up against 65 other teams in the Seres McMahon event at the congress. The pair had not played with their team mates prior

to the competition but they say this didn’t affect them in any way. In fact, they believe it was quite a good thing. There are two bridge clubs in the Nelson region, one in Richmond and the other in the city. Lind-say and Steve play at the Nelson club twice a week with around 300 other bridge players.Steve is currently the chairman for the Top of the South region of New Zealand Bridge.The pair have played at the tournament every year for the past eight years and say they always have a good time meeting new people. “It’s kind of a holiday tournament because you don’t play in the mornings, you just play after-noons, where as if we go to our congress in Ham-ilton, which is a week long event and doesn’t have so many people, you play morning, afternoon and evening, because what else is there to do in Hamilton in the winter?” says Lindsay.The pair say they were surprised to win the title and will hopefully make the trip again next year.

New medical centre nearly ready to openThe Lower Queen St health centre looks set to open its doors in July and principals are excited about the prospect of providing a “one stop shop” for the community.Most of the space available at the centre, located next door to Oak-woods Village in Richmond, has already been tenanted with many local health professionals excited

about relocating their offices to the new facility when it opens mid-year.The centre will see a wide range of help available including a medical laboratory, a pharmacy, an optom-etrist, an audiologist, GPs, physi-otherapists and several specialists. Health professionals say the facility is looking great and it will be a real asset to the community.

Travelling the world wouldn’t have been as much fun for local Edith Royds if she hadn’t stumbled upon Friendship Force Internation-al.The group, established in Nelson in the 1990s, has provided a fantastic amount of excitement and opportunities for the Hope resident.Edith says she was travelling around Japan on her own when she came across someone try-ing establish the international group there.“I liked the concept so much that I decided I would come home and start it in Nelson, but when I got home and made enquiries it had just started.”Edith says she’s been involved ever since and has seen a large number of countries and has been fortunate enough to experience a wide variety of cultures.“It is exciting when our new friends welcome us into their culture, their homes and their daily life.”Friendship Force International is present in 55 countries world-wide, giving the 18,000 members opportunities to explore places that wouldn’t normally be available.Those coming to New Zealand and Nelson would stay for one week and Edith says host-ing is just as much as travelling.

Exciting developments are taking place at the Richmond Mall this month.Unichem Pharmacy is getting ready to move into its larger premises next door on Monday. The Bead Gallery will also be moving out on April 30, making room for a new entrance to the mall which is expected to be ready in December.Manager David Hill says a fair bit of work will be done at the mall over the coming months, but it is all very exciting.Acquisitions, a national giftware shop will soon be located in the mall after Marbecks relocates at the end of the month. The Acquisitions store in Richmond Mall will be the only one in the region.David says the mall has received more inquiries and interest, from both national and interna-tional retailers, this year than the last two years combined. “That’s really heartening. It shows that the mall is a great place to have a business.”David has also fielded calls from Christchurch retailers affected by the earthquake who are look-ing at relocating to the Richmond Mall. “That has really taken off during March; we’ve had an enor-mous amount of interest.”Despite talks of the economic downturn still in effect, David says some retailers in the mall are experiencing their best year ever. Work has been staged and timetabled so the dis-ruption to shoppers is kept at a minimum. “We’ve been reaching key milestones and will have regu-lar updates with everyone,” says David.David says the mall has also welcomed back an artist-in-residence, something that has proved popular in the past.“They’re situated opposite the customer service desk and it’s our way of giving back to the com-munity and showing support for local artists.”The upcoming school holidays will also see the Nelson Giants in the Richmond Mall. “They’ll be shooting hoops in the food court area.”

Dr Currie did not drown in the swimming pool Aniseed Valley but rather he died of cancer. Mr Disher did not ever buy the dwelling, it was sold by Washbourn to the Currie family.Initial stock in the Washbourn Begonia House was denoted very generously by past Tasman District Council employee Bob Williams and his wife Pam.The begonia stock that the Thorn fam-ily made available to the Washbourn Begonia House was by way of the Ian Thorn Memorial Begonia Trust. This trust approached people to

purchase a begonia at a dollar figure with the proceeds donated by the trust to the Nelson Region Hospice Trust. The begonias were then gifted to Begonia House and all those names are published on a board within Begonia House. This effort raised several thousand dollars for the Hospice. Peter Robinson, also an ex em-ployee of Tasman District Council, is a current member of the Thorn Trust and was very in-volved in transferring the Begonia Stock. Apolo-gies to both the Currie and Williams families.

Facts come to light in Washbourn story

Over the weekend 19 cadets and staff from the City of Christchurch Cadet Unit spent time with Nelson Cadet Unit at the Nelson Pistol Club range complex in Golden Downs. The weekend was organised by the lo-cal cadet unit so those from Christch-urch could get away for a bit and up-date their training. Cadets were taken

through map and compass work, fire-arms safety, competitive shoot and team building and leadership. Local business Westmeat kindly donated meat for the weekend and Tip Top gave bread. It is expected the Christchurch unit will return the favour and have the Nelson cadets to stay once things settle down.

With the increasing number of properties in the Tasman District, especially in rural areas, it is becoming important to update your address. While the Council, in recent years, has numbered all properties in the district there are still a large number of ad-dresses that only identify a road.These addresses were captured by the then post office and they were then picked up by the White Pages.With subdivision and more houses being built it can be difficult for emergency ser-vices, couriers and postal delivery staff, as well as family and friends, to locate a par-ticular property. In updating an address it will change from Joe Dirigible of Smith Road, RD 1, Takaka, who lives 1.46 kilometres from the start of the road, to Joe Dirigible, 146 Smith Road, RD 1, Takaka.Simply contact your telephone provider and explain your new address and ask them to update the White Pages. Contact Lindsay Skinner at Tasman District Coun-cil on 543-8448 for more information.

Local teenager Mitchell Neal was recently given the opportunity of a lifetime.The 16 year-old Waimea College student experienced 10 days on the Spirit of Adventure earlier this year.The ship will be in Nelson next Wednesday and Mitchell encourages anyone interested in the experience to get along.In February Mitchell travelled to Auckland for the life changing experience.He had spent several months saving the money needed, in total $1800. After a grant of $200 from the Tasman District Council, several guitar lessons and a few hunting trips Mitchell was on his way. The hard work to raise the money to go made the experience even better for the teenager.Mitchell says the trip was centred around learning to sail, but the group of 48 teenagers often went to shore to do some tramping and other activities.There was only one other person from Nelson and the rest of the group came from throughout the country. “It was a good opportunity to mix with other young people.” Mitchell says he hadn’t been on a sailing boat before and is hoping he gets another chance at some stage. “The skills we learnt will be handy to know in the future. We learnt about knots and there were 12 or 13 different sails we had to put up and each of them had eight ropes, there were ropes going everywhere.”Mitchell says the experience was pretty challenging but it was rewarding once he’d completed it.“It was heaps of fun.”

On the ninth day the ship had a trainee day where all the people such as the captain retired back to their rooms and the whole boat was left to the teenagers. “We had to put up the sails without any help and all the kids nominated a captain, second mate, watch leader and cook.”Mitchell was nominated as watch leader with his role going around the ship making sure everyone

was doing things right, “not that I knew myself,” he says.Basically, if anyone needed a hand, Mitchell would help out.Mitchell’s mother Sally believes the reason her son got so much out of the trip was because he had paid for it himself.Mitchell says there were all sorts of people on the boat and what made it interesting was that everything that would distinguish a person was taken away from them.“Everyone is given a clean slate. Everyone looks the same as much as they can, there’s no one wearing labelled shirts or anything like that.”Mitchell believes everyone should get the change to experience life

on the Spirit of Adventure ship, and the fact it is coming to Nelson soon is great.“The trip went way beyond my expectations,” he says.The 10 day trip is similar to the Outward Bound experience, but not as physically demanding according to Mitchell.The Spirit of Adventure is holding a public sailing from 9am to 12 noon next Wednesday in Nelson.

NEW ROLL: The Nelson Cycle Trails Trust newly appointed executive officer Fiona Newey is get-ting things into gear with the launch of a logo competition. Fiona is wasting no time in raising the profile of the trust and what the region has to offer in cycle tourism. Fiona was previously involved with St John Ambulance, coordinating fundraising and project management for their Richmond building. Word is getting out about the logo competition and Fiona says the design should encapsulate Nelson’s stunning scenery, climate, historic railways, artisan rural communi-ties, traditions of tobacco and hops, boutique breweries, vineyards, olive groves, festivals and port settlements. Entries must be received by post by 5pm on April 22. A facebook page has been set up with all the details and conditions of entry at www.facebook.com/pages/Nelson-Tasman-Cycle-Trails-Trust. The Nelson cycle trails are a joint initiative of the Nelson City Council, the Tasman District Council, the Nelson Cycle Trails Trust and the New Zealand Cycle Trail project. Photo: Andrew Board.

Nelson MP Nick Smith last week wel-comed the nearly $150,000 from the NZ 2011 Festival Lottery Fund towards events in Nelson for this year’s Rugby World Cup.With Nelson the birthplace of rugby in New Zealand, the first game was played here in 1879, Nick says he is pleased $10,000 worth of funding will go towards a re-enactment of that event, followed by a procession to Trafalgar Park ahead of the

Australia-Russia match on October 1. “The Piki Mai digital installation on to Nelson’s Cathedral will be something to witness as it will also tell Nelson’s history and the First Fifteen Wine Competition will be a fun event showcasing Nelson’s wine alongside that of Italy and the United States.This $150,000 is part of $9.5 million in Lottery grants set aside for the Rugby

World Cup.“Nelson has shown it is full of creative, in-novative people bursting with fresh ideas that link our proud past with our present. “We know that the Rugby World Cup is more than just the matches and we want locals and visitors to have an unforgettable experience. This funding will help make Rugby World Cup a successful and memo-rable event for Nelson,” says Nick.

Volunteer firefighters – they’re everyday people - the mechanic who fixes your car, the shopkeeper who sells you your milk - but when the siren sounds they don a different hat, ready to offer assis-tance to those in need. With 8000 unpaid men and women presently on call from North Cape to Bluff, volunteers really are the backbone of the NZ Fire Service (NZFS). Tim Bennion, Assistant Area Manager for NZFS in Tasman Marlbor-ough, says that means more than 80%

of fire service p e r -sonnel

are willing to drop everything else as re-quired in order to help protect the lives and property of families, friends, neigh-bours and total strangers alike. Finan-cial or material reward isn’t a factor, so these selfless folk really are among the ranks of true Kiwi heroes. “We’re mas-sively dependent on volunteers,” says Tim. NZ Fire Service statistics show in a normal year volunteers attend 36,000 incidents, including fires, hazardous emergencies, medical assists and res-cuing trapped people. Though they’re unpaid servants, volunteers carry out their work in a thoroughly professional manner. “Regardless of whether they

are employed or volunteer staff, they consistently provide the standard of work that is required by the New Zealand Fire Service,” says Tim. While we acknowledge the many hours that volunteers devote to their communities, it’s also important to acknowledge their employers who allow them time off to respond to incidents. Having employees absent from work can be both inconvenient and costly. Employing volunteer firefighters can, however, be a win/win situa-tion. Not only do the fire service get the valu-able use of a precious resource but employers get the benefit from the specialist training that volunteers go through. Firefighters are trained to keep a cool head in difficult situations and their training develops first aid knowledge, leadership and management skills that can be useful in any work place.We have a number of volunteer fire brigades (Richmond, Wakefield, Tapawera and Mur-chison) and volunteer rural fire forces (Bright-water, Appleby, St Arnaud) in our region, all manned by highly trained and dedicated mem-bers of our communities. A number of local fire-fighters had the opportunity to attend a training exercise at a controlled house burn in Brightwa-ter last year. Properties designated for removal or demolition are occasionally offered to the fire service, providing realistic training that incorpo-rates phenomena experienced at incidents in a relatively more controlled environment.Brigades from around the region all agree that the past twelve months have been pretty much business as usual. One thing that all firefighters will agree on is that people need to take respon-

sibility and care for ensuring the safety of themselves and others.So how can the general public help keep callouts to a minimum? NZFS takes a four-step approach: educa-tion, prevention, detection and action. S m o k e alarms have and always will be a leading life-saving tool, p r o v i d i n g they are kept c h a r g e d and placed in strate-gic areas of the home. “ S m o k e alarms are only acti-vated when they detect something out of the ordinary and we applaud people who install these systems.”The ‘Keep looking while you’re cooking’ and ‘Don’t drink and fry’ campaigns as seen on TV are not exag-gerated. Far too many fires start this way with people putting a pan full of oil on a hot stove and then get-ting distracted. “It’s absolutely unbelievable how fast and fierce a fat fire is,” warns Tim. Residents are urged to follow the metre heater rule when drying clothes. Keep flammable articles at least a metre from heat sources and not in a position where if they fall it will be towards or onto a heater.

Electric blankets should be checked at the beginning of each winter season. Chimneys also need to be inspected and cleaned before the fire lighting sea-son, both for structural soundness and to clear channels of soot buildup, bird nests and any other blockages which are fire hazards. When removing ashes from a fireplace always use a metal container. Plastic buckets and other com-

bustible containers can often burst into flames, sometimes hours later.Tim says it is also very helpful if the public refrain from phoning the local fire station and use the proper procedure of calling 111. “That’s still the quickest way of get-ting the message through in the event of an emer-g e n c y . Volunteer s t a t i o n s are usually unmanned and calls to the sta-tions may result in d e l a y s ,

and many frustrated callers talking to answer phones.”We will always need and appreciate our vol-unteer firefighters, but we only want to call on them when absolutely necessary, and you as members of a collective responsible, vigi-lant and resilient community are the way to achieve this. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter can visit the website www.fire.org.nz for more information, find out when their local station has its training nights or phone the Nelson brigade on 546 2100.

We have all been shaken and moved by the dev-astation we have witnessed here and abroad in recent times. The Christchurch quake changed our nation and will impact us for years to come. In a country like ours everyone knows someone, who knows someone, who was se-riously impacted through this.Nothing however prepared us for the extent of the devastation that was to come only weeks after our own disaster as we witnessed Ja-pan struggling with the crushing effects of both an earthquake and a tsunami. Despite the marvels of our engineering and design abil-ity we see nature wipe these things from the face of the earth break-ing them up like matchsticks and leaving a landscape piled high with the remains of our hopes and se-curities, now just a jumbled mess. Thousands dead, many thousands missing, hundreds of thousands homeless. A nation once strong and vibrant, now, in a moment of time, crippled and broken and in desperate need.On top of all this we see the frightening dam-age to the nuclear power plants and the desperate attempts to contain the spread of the radiation and avoid an even larger scale catastrophe. Nations watched from the safe-ty of their TV’s as brave men and women known as the ‘Fukushima Fifty’ volunteered their lives in known suicide missions to try to stop the radiation spreading. This mix of volunteers, frontline technicians and firemen speak powerfully to us through their actions as they choose to sacrifice their lives to try to save others by the prevention of nuclear contamination. I feel challenged as I read of them. Would I be willing to sacrifice my life so that another could live? Sometimes, it’s

easy to think theoretically, yes of course I could, and yet in my heart I question that, because I know that even in the smaller, everyday things in life, often it is a battle to choose to sacrifice or give something up for another. But as I watch these men and women sacrificing their lives for others I am inspired by their stance and it chal-lenges me to really make my life count.

2000 years ago God looked upon humanity and saw that each of us were in life threatening danger of being overwhelmed and taken out by the effect of sin in our lives and the world around us. He sent his son to earth, as a one man rescue team who would ultimately sac-rifice his life to save us from the harmful effects of sin. His name is Jesus Christ. Jesus took the pun-ishment for the sins of the world upon himself and it cost him his life. Amazingly 3 days later he rose again proving Himself to be the Son of God and proving that He has dominion over sin and death. In these challenging times will we

choose to accept what He has done for us or will we brush it to the back of our mind and carry on living as before? A life was given in exchange for yours and mine.

The Queen Street Pharmacy Richmond 1st Divi-sion team started their season hosting FC Nelson Metro at Jubilee Park in front of the largest crowd we’ve had for a first round game in a long time. The boys, a mixture of last year’s players and new, controlled the game from the start and to-tally outclassed a somewhat shocked Metro team, beating them comfortably in the end 11 - 0. Four goals by 2010 “golden boot” Wesley Olea, four goals on debut for the club from striker Ben Wright, and one each to Davi Maciel, Darryl Fenemor (man of the match) and George Dono-so, showed those watching the team is ready to

compete in every game this season on their way to once again hopefully entering the Mainland Premier League playoffs. The Queen Street Pharmacy Richmond 2nd Division Reserve side faced Tahuna’s top team at Jubilee Park, and with two goals each to An-drew Staples and Mike Campbell and one from old Sean ‘twinkle toes’ Barker (who continues his form from last season), helped the team to a 5 - 1 convincing victory. Andrew Staples was awarded man of the match. The clubs two 3rd division teams made good starts with Richmond Thistle beating Tahuna 8 - 2 win and the Richmond Development boys, held FC Nelson Masters to a 2 - 2 draw.

Tigers roar to second cricket crownWhen it rains it pours and after a long spell between cricket titles, Sprig & Fern Waimea Toi Toi United has claimed its second this season.WTTU Tigers started the Nelson Cricket one day final at Saxton Oval on Saturday in dramatic fashion, knocking over the wickets of Stoke/Nayland’s openers and forcing the defending champions into defen-sive cricket. WTTU finished off the match with a strong partnership between skipper John Routhan and Brendan Hodgson.

Skipper Aaron Mallinson, who couldn’t play in the final because he was best man at a wedding in Auck-land, says the win, to go along with its T/20 title earlier this year, is a great achievement for the club.“It’s been a bloody fantastic year, the way we’ve structured the club has been great. We don’t do anything flashy, we stick to the basics and got some dominance so it was a really good feeling.”The final was the final club cricket game of the season.

Everyone loves a referee... well most do and let’s face it, sport would be pretty hopeless without them.That’s why Nelson Bays Football and Tasman Rugby Union are on the hunt for more referees as the winter sport season kicks into gear.Both codes are short of a few officials for the up-coming season and both say they are “vital” to the game.“Without refs we don’t have a game, simple,” says TRU referee boss Nigel Jones. Ian Hull, referee development officer for Nelson Bays Football says he is looking for another few referee’s and says the ideal candidate is someone who knows the game well or used to play it and is keen to keep fit and stay involved in the sport.“We provide a real pathway for our young refer-ees, from local football, all the way to Fifa level if they want that.”

Nigel says TRU has similarpathways in place for aspiring rugby referees and says anyone keen to give it a go will be exposed to plenty of support and training.People that are in short supply are former play-ers who just want to ref the game at a local level. “We have several guys that have no aspirations of reffing at a higher level and are happy to be giving back to their community,” says Ian.Both men say referee abuse isn’t much of a prob-lem in Nelson, although thick skin is needed for the job. “Sport is about passion so people get up-set and emotional when things don’t go right and we wouldn’t want that to change. Without pas-sion sport would be pretty dire,” says Nigel.For people keen to look at being a football referee visit www. nelsonbaysfootball.co.nz and for those keen on being a rugby referee email [email protected].

UP THE FIELD: Waimea A’s Andrew Letham charges up the field in Saturday’s game against Riwaka at Cooks Reserve.

Another winning weekend for Waimea Old BoysAfter a suitable win last week against Stoke, the Stables Tavern Waimea A side confronted a new but prepared Riwaka side on Sat-urday at Cooks Reserve Park. The entire game proved to be an interminable clash which saw both teams battling at differ-ent times throughout the game, struggling to take any control. Waimea forwards for the most part were able to apply pressure to the Riwaka scrum, this being the only discipline that the one team dominated in. The backs seemed to fail to flow with any real rhythm and often squandered valuable possession which the forwards had worked timelessly to gain. James Lowe playing at fullback was in a devastating mood, often cutting through the Riwaka backs with some fancy footwork and decisive pace. However, he often lacked the support which in turn was prominent for Riwaka who’s off loading to players at pace saw them gain many meters. Waimea’s support, or lack of it, meant they were unable to capi-talise and convert try scoring op-portunities. The forwards carried on their affray up front which provided a satisfactory share of possession but often play broke down resulting in a turnover to Riwaka, who defended tenacious-ly on their home ground. Waimea eventually won a lack lustre contest against a deter-mined Riwaka team who made the most of their home ground fixture. Try scorers for Waimea were Cameron Salton, James Lowe (2), Corey McClelland and with the boot of Andrew Letham gaining a penalty and conversion the full time score was 25 – 16 to Waimea. This week Waimea take

on Huia at 3pm at Sports Park Motueka.The Super Liquor Waimea Sen-ior B side narrowly won their early fixture against a disrup-tive Riwaka side on their home ground. Riwaka defended well and fought hard which nearly upset the favoured Waimea team. Riwaka team displayed a dodged defence and attack which often stunned Waimea who responded unhurried and late as they failed to find the rhythm and class of the previous two weeks. Waimea forwards displayed areas of dominance and could supply ball to the backs who often spilled or turned the ball over with very diminutive resistance. Waimea often failed to launch into mo-mentum and often looked lost. On numerous occasions as they made their way to cross the try line they were just cut short. This try scoring wave should have been bread and butter for an ex-perienced back line, who often score tries dexterously. Full time score for this clash was 29 – 24 won by Waimea. Try scorers were Todd Brodie, Josh Rutledge, John Higgins, Ethan Ruben and Dan Smith, with Jamie Galloway kick-ing two conversions.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

Proposed Rule Changes for Club WaimeaThere is a need to review and define Club Waimea’s Constitution and Rules.

There is a need to arrange the Club’s affairs in a more practical order.

There is a need to have a Board that can be focused on controlling the Club finances, overseeing general management and leading any future direction.

To achieve this is proposed that the members elect an Executive Committee who will assist the Board, who will control membership, member welfare, Sports and other Sections, supervise operation of the Courtesy Coach, oversee all of the Club’s assets and convene General Meetings.

The new document which covers all of the proposed changes can be picked up from the Club office upon presentation of your membership card. These changes are designed to take your Club into the future and your input is welcome. Please obtain a copy, study it and have your say.

A Special General Meeting for members to debate and hopefully adopt

these measures will be held at Club Waimea on Tuesday, 19 April at 7.00pm.

If passed, nominations will be called for the first Executive Committee, to be elected at the Clubs AGM on 29 May.
