Son revives dormant modelling hobbyRichmond's Steve Hannah is at lastresuming a hobby he greatly en-joyed before being distracted bythe busyness of work, family andtravel. Not that he's finished withsuch commitments but Steve isslowly finding the time to bringsome of his unassembled kitsetplanes in from the garage.When asked by his wife Bernadette,"how many do you have in there?"Steve mumbles "a couple" to whichshe replies, "a couple of hundred Ibet."Steve says, "I still vividly remem-ber getting The Eagle Book ofAircraft for my sixth birthday andthat sparked my interest in avia-tion. I particularly like historicalstuff such as the warbirds andreally enjoy the Classic Air Fight-ers Show they put on atWoodbourne near Blenheim."It was at the last such show thatSteve's nine-year-old son Tim gota twinkle in his eye and asked dadif he could buy a kitset plane.Inspired by Tim's enthusiasm,Steve thinks a lot of those dustyboxes will be brushed off in monthsand years to come and the smell ofmodellers glue will once again waftthrough the Hannah house."I've been in hibernation as a mod-eller to a large extent but I'm juststarting to get active again," saysSteve.Aviation fuel runs in the family'sveins as Bernadette's father, thelate Paul Hutchison who lived onthe West Coast, was the youngestperson to hold a full pilot's licencewhen he was just 16.

Steve is looking forward to the model planeexhibition which shows in conjunctionwith Nelson Aero Club's scholarships cam-paign at Richmond Mall from July 18 to 23(see page 9 for more details).

Father furiousafter Facebookopen partyA Richmond man has become another victim of theseemingly innocuous - but when used foolishly, mischie-vous and potentially destructive - social networking websiteFacebook.A local tradesman was advised by family to be anonymous,as revealing his identity might have a negative impact on hisown business. He says he contacted Waimea Weekly towarn of the dangers of irresponsible and naïve use of this"obsessively popular" internet site.We'll give him a fake name, Grant, though his story is fact.Grant was working out of town, leaving his 18-year-oldson (alias Sam) in charge of the house.Sam, not heeding the harsh lessons, and in some casesdisastrous consequences, of similar actions in New Zea-land and abroad, innocently but very unwisely extended anopen invitation to Facebook viewers to attend a party at hisfamily home in the centre of residential Richmond.Through logging-on and txt networking, Facebook mes-sages can reach an unlimited audience in almost an instant.Not surprisingly, Sam's party was inundated with an influxof visitors; a mix of welcome friends and unwantedstrangers who came as opportunist revellers.Absent, Grant was alerted to the party so phoned a friendin Richmond to disperse the ominous gathering."I'm told they reluctantly left my property as requested butsome who were obviously peeved ripped up my lawn doingwheel spins," says Grant. "There was definitely alcoholconsumed as you would expect but I believe drugs werealso involved. Apparently a while later that night some ofthem returned. They smashed a door in my house and tookitems from my garage, including life jackets, a sea biscuit,gaiters, a chilly bin and probably some things I haven'tmissed yet," says Grant.The police weren't notified immediately as Grant wanted toestablish what part Sam had played in the shenanigans andwho the real culprits were.

Progressive Enterprises are looking to secure a suitable site in Richmond for a Countdownsupermarket. Do you think we should have a third large supermarket in town?

Dianna Cowling

“If we get a new supermar-ket I think it should be aNew World because Count-down is too similar to Pak NSave. New World have or-ganic meat as well.”

Odette Young

“Maybe not. I think twoare sufficient.”

Steve Hill

“We don’t need another one.We’ve get two close togetherwith more than amplechoice. A new one wouldimpact adversely on FreshChoice in particular I think.”

Pat Nuttall

“I’ve been around here for42 years and I’ve seen a lotof change. If we have agreat influx of people in thedistrict then perhaps we doneed another one.”

Being read a story about a goodold Kiwi boi l -up inspiredPinegrove Kindergarten (situ-ated in Brightwater) to organizea Master Chef competition forparents and their children.Teacher aide Jacqui Hart says,"We thought this presented anopportunity to learn bakingskills which could be followedby a shared lunch when we couldtest the results and have a socialoccasion."Joanne and Maia Kininmonthwon best cake while Louise andHelena Clives won best pie andwere Supreme Master Chef win-ners.Joanne says, "This was some-thing practical and very enjoyablethat kids could do with their par-ents; it was a lot of fun for usboth."

Top chefsBeware of bogusscrap metal dealersRichmond Police are askingfarmers and rural propertyowners in particular to be waryof visitors claiming to be scrapmetal dealers.Commuinity Constable GlennLloyd-Jones says, “We’ve hadreports from farmers in theRedwood Valley and Hope ar-eas, and right across WaimeaPlains, of groups of men com-ing in to ask if they have anyscrap metal they want to sell ordispose of.”Glenn adds, “These peoplearen’t legitimate dealers at all,they’re scavengers who some-

times offer to pay a small priceor do a bit of work in exchangefor the scrap metal.”He says when these people re-move scrap metal they are on-selling it to proper dealers and,while their activity is not illegal assuch, it is undesirable and givesthem a plausible reason to gainaccess to rural properties.“They may be casing the place tosee what else is worth comingback for and we quite often getreports of fuel thefts from farms.”Details of any suspicious visitorsto any private property should bereported to Richmond police.

Hoddy’s orchard workerwins Grower of the Year

Hoddy’s staff Kevin Withington attempts the irrigation component of the competition

It may sound like a case of horsesfor courses as orchard workerKevin Withington won the inau-gural Nelson Young Fruit Growerof the Year competition held at hisown workplace, Hoddy’s Orchardin Hope.That wasn’t the case though asKevin won the contest fair andsquare, with no advantage gainedfrom familiar surroundings.Organiser Andrew Kininmonthwas delighted with the reaction tothe competition; from contestants,

commercial sponsors and otherinterested observers.“I’m absolutely rapt with how itwent. The support was phenom-enal and everyone here indicatedthat they are very keen to be in-volved next year so it should bejust that much bigger. We’ve re-ally started something,” saysAndrew.Hawkes Bay’s version of this com-petition has snowballed since in-ception five years ago and nowfeatures a careers expo and tradeshow.

Contestants, all under 30years, were put through aseries of exercises includ-ing practical challenges suchas assembling irrigation andloading a truck with pallets,and a test of their knowl-edge related to fruit grow-ing.Kevin won the Energie FruitCharitable Trust Trophy,$1500 cash, return flightsto Hawkes Bay to look attheir growing practices, anda place in the NZ FruitGrower of the Year compe-tition later in the year.


(from front page) "I foundout who some of the trouble-makers were and on the fol-lowing Monday I saw two ofthem go in to Cash N Trade,so I followed them in," saysGrant. He confronted the boysabout the stolen items whichthey had since sold tothe store, and was toldSam had offered theseto them as they leftthe party."I told these boys tomeet me again in thisshop later in the after-noon with my son be-cause I wanted to getto the bottom of thesituation with all con-cerned, including thestaff who had boughtmy stolen gear. Iwarned the boys Iwould involve the po-lice if they didn't frontup," says Grant.Cash N Trade staffsaid they had boughtthe items after the sell-ers had proved theiridentities. Staff mem-ber Peter says, "Muchof our trade comes in this wayand we had no reason to sus-pect the items were stolen.One of the boys in particularwas very open, he made con-stant eye contact which wasencouraging and gave me nosign of being devious."Peter says after a while in thejob you get a sixth sense re-garding the integrity of deal-ers but admits, "sometimeswe get it wrong - that's oftenwhen we're dealing with conmen."

Appreciating Cash N Trade hadpaid for the goods, Grant insistedthe items be sold back to him atcost price but staff added a mark-up to cover their time spent inprocessing the transactions, andbecause they were convincedGrant's son had played some part,

albeit murky, in the affair.Peter explains, "We bought theitems in good faith after runningthe routine checks we're legallyand morally obliged to conduct.Should a glazier who fixes a win-dow broken by gatecrashers waivelabour costs because the homeowner is an innocent victim?"Peter says in some cases theyreturn stolen items to their rightfulowners and reparation from of-fenders to dealers can be orderedby the court.“In this instance I think (Grant)

needs to accept there was someblame at his end. We don't know-ingly buy stolen goods. We have avery good rapport with Richmondpolice and alert them to suspiciouscustomers and goods and theysend us regular faxes of such. Wehave a growing database of suchpeople and items so if we entermatching details - serial numbersetc - it waves a warning flag."Peter says Cash N Trade decline to

do business with peoplewho don't satisfy theirenquiries.Grant feels somewhataggrieved that he had topay, and with costsadded, to recover hisown rightful posses-sions.Richmond CommunityConstable Glenn Lloyd-Jones says this is anexample of how mod-ern information andcommunications tech-nology can create un-wanted situations. "Iwouldn't recommendFacebook for invitingfriends to a party butthe flow-on of txting isdifficult to control."He says if anyone ishosting a party and peo-ple refuse to leave when

asked or become obnoxious, po-lice should be called before thesituation gets out of hand.With regard to the sale of second-hand goods, Glenn says policeand local second-hand stores havea good relationship which hasturned up a number of stolengoods.He refers readers to the online NZLegislation: Acts - Section 47 ofthe Second Hand Dealers & Pawn-brokers Act 2004, to find outwhat a dealer's obligations andresponsibilities are.

Salvation Army is herefor good in Richmond

Richmond Salvation Army Family Store volunteers, from left, Shirley Austin, June Johnston and MarieCostley, sort items for sale in the shop from those to be shredded for rags

This year's Volunteer Aware-ness Week just completedfollowed the theme "volun-teering across the genera-tions."Since 1865, when WilliamBooth founded the SalvationArmy from the Christian Mis-sion in London, this organiza-tion has worked selflessly andtirelessly to give millions ofneedy people all over the worldpractical support, sound ad-vice and moral encourage-ment. In addition to its soldier(member) force and paid staffteam, the day-to-day opera-tion of the Salvation Armyrelies heavily on volunteerstaff.In Richmond the Family Storemanager Jan Rolfe, who isteam leader for the three storesin the Nelson region (also inNelson city and Motueka),relies on a roster of 25 goodpeople. Jan says, "These in-clude two men - one who is a

qualified electrician which is veryhandy in terms of being able tocheck and repair electrical appli-ances, a requirement before sale,and the other handles the task offilling rubbish skips and havingthem ready for collection."The volunteer women in the Fam-ily Store do a variety of jobs in-cluding working on the counterand offering advice as required,sorting the piles of clothing andother materials which are donated,pricing items, and making ragswhich can be sold to the businessand industrial sector for cleaningand other uses.Jan says, "While 25 volunteer staffmay sound a lot they only work asthey are available and willing. Theseare usually half-day shifts and,while some work one day eachweek, others are happy to servetwo or three days. One lady hasworked for Salvation Army inRichmond for 20 years and an-other has done 14 years."Proceeds from the sale of itemsfrom the store are used in com-

munity ministries such as helpingneedy people and families in theregion with food parcels, whileSalvation Army donates furnitureand household effects at its dis-cretion to help families furnishtheir homes. The Salvation Armyalso offers advocacy and budgetadvisory services through its Nel-son headquarters.The Family Store in Richmond,opposite the library in QueenStreet, is always grateful to re-ceive donations of clothing andshoes, bedding, furniture andkitchenware. In fact, Jan says ifyou have something saleable thatyou're willing to donate, call inand see if it can be of use to them.And if you would like to join theroster of volunteer workers, thereare application forms on the coun-ter in the store. "Three of our longserving staff have retired recentlyand we really could use somemore willing hands."The Family Store is open Mon-days to Fridays 9.30am- 4.00pmand Saturdays 9.30am until noon.


Air craft modellers, start your glue tubesA Kyote 2 aircraft will be 'planeto see' inside the RichmondMall from July 18 to 23. Reg-istered as a microlite, but muchmore substantial than that pre-carious looking contraptionwhich buzzed through the MadMax movies, the beauty of theKyote 2 is that its wings foldback to allow easy entry to themall.Kevin Allport, who is seniortraining instructor and chieftesting officer at Nelson AeroClub, says, "It would be a ma-jor and expensive task to dis-mantle and reassemble a more

fixed wing aircraft, and thismodel (Rans S6ES) is verypopular and performs verywell."Nelson Aero Club are using thisopportunity to promote aware-ness of their club and the excit-ing scholarships which are openfor applications again.To add to the display and infor-mation stand, Richmond Mallare keen to create an exhibitionof model planes and invites any-one who has built a model in thepast, or wants to construct oneespecially for this occasion, tobring it to the customer service

desk before July 18.Mall manager David Hill says,"There must be thousands ofmodel planes out there, sittingon mantelpieces, tucked awayin wardrobes or stored in thegarage. People should dust theseoff and bring them along forothers to see, or buy a kitsetfrom one of the shops and getbuilding."As an added incentive Davidwill appoint someone to de-cide a winning entry and thenpresent the owner with $100cash and $100 of mall spend-ing vouchers.

Hope School relief teacher and landscape painterGreta Greenwood runs after-school art classes forstudents. The wonderful creations from theseworkshops show advanced ability among the dozenor so children who gather for just over an houronce a week for eight sessions each term."This is for our kids who enjoy doing art during thenormal school curriculum and at home and want totake it a bit further," says Greta.This term the theme was printmaking and thechildren did screen printing and used stencils andstamps such as pieces of fruit, footwear and otherobjects to create monoprints and colour-con-trasted pictures."This term we looked at the painter Matisse and weincorporated quite a lot of autumn shapes andcolours in our art," says Greta.As usual an end of term exhibition was held at theschool, during which parents viewed their chil-dren's artistic ability over a cup of coffee and chat.

Just a thought -from a hat man

Tony Barnett, Pastor -Grace Church Richmond

I am a hat man. I regularly wearhats.In my work, I wear a hat or two… or three or four…One of the hats that I wear, andit is an amazing privilege to wearit, is my work as Chaplain andCounsellor for Nelson Hospice.The Hospice is one of thoseplaces that is incredibly specialfor people whohave a terminal ill-ness. It is a spe-cial place, staffedby very, very spe-cial people. Peo-ple who haveamazing heartsfor those goingthrough one of themost difficultjourneys in theirlife.I see a lot of beau-tiful things at theHospice, and oneof the most beautiful is thepriority on family.In the Hospice we are a familyand we have families on ourservice. I know that when aperson comes to this stage intheir life, the things that areextraneous are put to one sideand that which counts is whatis focused on. I have neverseen a person reach out for aboat, a car, a bach, the golfclubs or a computer to holdonto at a time like this.I see them reach out for lovinghands, loving arms, loving eyes,loving words, loving hearts. Isee the value, the immense valueof relationship.The importance of friends, theimportance of family, the im-portance of loved ones.To me, that is what counts.I also wear another hat. I havethe incredible privilege of being

on the Pastoral team at GraceChurch in Richmond.Churches are another family, of-ten referred to as the family ofGod. They are bound together bythe love of God that is in eachperson's heart. They are joinedtogether by a special relationship.Unfortunately, there have beentimes when we have not done

church all that well,have we? But thatnever negates theamazing love thatwe should have forothers.Jesus spoke out anincredible sentence.He said that peoplewill know you be-long to Him by thelove that you havefor one another. Henever said peoplewill know who youare by your music,

by your performance, by yourbuilding, by your gifts, by yourbank balance. He said, "they willknow you are mine by your lovefor one another.”It all comes back to relationshipdoesn't it?At Grace, I am taking a series onthe importance and the dynam-ics of relationships.It always gets me thinking. Howam I doing mine? Do people seeGod's love in me?

John Ortberg in his book "LoveBeyond Reason" tells about mov-ing God's love from your head toyour heart. He gives the incred-ible example of his sister's lovefor a doll called 'Pandy'. He talksabout God's Rag Dolls.He says that God would say tous, "love me, love my rag dolls"but that's another story.How are your relationships?

Murchison Volunteer Fire Brigade received a com-mendation among the Trustpower CommunityAwards announced on Monday night.The citation acknowledged, “Eighteen volunteer firefighters and two operational support volunteers inMurchison work to reduce the incidence and con-sequence of fire, provide a professional response toemergencies and protect their community. This isroutine activity but over the last 12 months thebrigade has had an extraordinarily tough time. Thedistrict suffered a large number of fatal incidentsover a one-month period. This was an emotionallydistressing time for many of the volunteer members,but it also brought to light their dedication andprofessionalism. In total over the last year theMurchison brigade has attended 60 callouts - withabout 90% being motor vehicle accidents and theother 10% structural fires. They have also providedsafety information, distributed fire alarms and heldplanned building evacuations, which has been ahuge commitment for a volunteer team.”

An encouraging crowd of sup-porters turned out on Saturdaymorning to see Tasman DistrictMayor Richard Kempthorne offi-cially open the magnificent up-graded Richmond Library.He said the $2.2m project hadbeen six years in the melting pot,but was worth every day of thewait as Tasman district now had

a magnificent multi-purpose fa-cility which would be the envy ofother districts throughout thecountry.The mayor, who attended the iwiblessing of the library on Thurs-day, said, "This is a stunning li-brary compared to what we usedto have; it's a great communityasset and is a shining example of

just how much libraries haveevolved in a short time. They'remuch broader than the historicallibrary concept of a quiet placewhere you browse, borrow booksand return to swap them two orthree weeks later." The mayorsaid this is a great place for kids,with much more space to movearound and the café area is a great

facility. "It's a really nice place tobe," he said.Tasman libraries manager CatherineBryham paid tribute to all thosewho had been involved in bringingthe concept of this wonderful spa-cious library to reality and expectedthe novelty aspect could see anincrease in businessby up to 30% based

on the public reaction to upgradesin other places. "That will prob-ably settle down to about a 15%constant increase in business, aswe not only have double the floorspace we had before, we alsohave several new features," saysCatherine.

Our library ‘will be the envy of other districts’

Richmond Library member Catena Galpin reads to her sons Ollie Galpin and Seth Galpin-Blackburn who just love their visits toexchange story books. The big comfortable chair for readers and young listeners is one of many new features

Imaginarium first of its kindTasman Libraries managerCatherine Bryham describesthe new Imaginarium as “stateof the art; the first of its kind ina public library anywhere inNew Zealand.”Catherine says with the mod-ern equipment and advancedtechnology available in theImaginarium members of thecommunity “will be able tocreate films and digital oralhistories, work with digitisedphotos and lay down audio and

video tracks and use and en-hance their computer graphicsskills.“This space can be used as arecording studio so should provevery popular with budding andtalented musicians, of which thisdistrict has an abundance.“In fact people will be able toachieve almost anything the crea-tive minds inherent in our dis-trict can imagine,” says Catherine.The Imaginarium is acousticallytiled and reduces noise emissions

by 85%, so is no distraction tolibrary customers in adjacentareas.

Whiting one of seven Waimea players in MakosStables Waimea Old Boys half-back Kaide Whiting has been re-warded for an outstanding clubseason with selection to theTasman Makos for the 2010 ITMCup. Kaide (19) was disappointedto miss out on a place in the NZUnder-20 team which ultimatelythrashed all opponents on theway to retaining the World Cuplast month.He said, "The way that trial wentdidn't allow me to show all myskills. Making the Makos playingsquad was one of my major aimsthis season so I'm excited to getthe chance for this exposure onthe national scene." The aggres-sive style in which Kaide attacksthe advantage line as requiredand his high work rate in cover

defence were no doubt major fac-tors in his selection.Kaide told Waimea Weekly, “I can’twait to play against and hold my

own against some of the top play-ers in New Zealand. Being on thesame stage as Sonny-Bill Williamswould be awesome and I’d lovethe chance to mark Kahn Fotuali’iwhen we play Hawkes Bay in thefirst home game at Blenheim.”Kaide suffered concussion inWaimea’s semi-final loss to Nel-son 11 days ago and will be as-sessed by Makos physio staff onFriday to determine whether hecan play in a warmup match onSunday.Prop Sam Prattley, who was partof that World Cup campaign, isalso one of the seven Waimeaplayers in the Makos squad; theothers being Ben Coman (lock),Glen Gregory (loose forward),Fai Mika (prop), Blair Cook (wing/utility) and James Kamana (full-

back/utility). Forward HamishCochrane was unavailable due toinjury.Former Waimea division one clubcoach and long time Waimea Col-lege First XV coach Errol Thelinwas pleased to see Coman get thecall-up, saying, "I'm very impressedwith his work rate and ethic; he'sbeen one of the outstanding for-wards in Nelson Bays club rugbythis season and the reward for sucheffort should always be the chanceto represent your province."Ben Coman carries on an impres-sive family tradition with hisgrandad Bill being a long timeNelson rep forward, father Gordonplayed 26 games for Nelson Baysand brother Mike has played No 8among an All Black-studded Can-terbury pack.

Gregory, Kamana and Cook haveall played for the Makos beforewhile Mika comes from theSouthland Ranfurly Shield team.The Makos first hit out inpreparation for the ITM Cup isagainst the Buccaneers (a Nel-son Bays rep selection) atBrightwater this Sunday at 2pm.They then play Canterbury atBlenheim on July 16 and Otagoat Dunedin on July 22.The first game of the ITM Cup isagainst Wellington at 'the caketin' on Sunday, August 1.Sonny-Bill Williams is unlikely toplay for Canterbury at Blenheimnext week after undergoing key-hole surgery on his knee but it ishoped he will play at Nelson onAugust 21 when Canterburycomes to town.

Wakefield substitute player Nick Matthews shugs off a Motuekaopponent in his side’s big division two football win at Wakefield

Everyone knows victory is sweet,no matter what sport you play.But for the Richmond AthleticFootball Club it's especially sweetto beat close rivals Suburbs in allthree fixtures at the weekend.Queen Street Pharmacy Rich-mond Thistle knew a win wouldsecure them the 3rd division titleand they didn't disappoint.Suburbs started well but Thistletook control at the 20-minutemark when Chris Millson foundthe net after some structured play.Wayne Anderson soon added asecond goal with a delicate chipover the head of the keeper and athird arrived before half time whenMike Reilly struck. Thistle thencontinued the assault in the sec-ond half with Reilly adding hissecond and Hung Pham adding tohis season tally with two more.The final blow came when GaryOwen took off his keeper glovesand was sent forward. After a fewclose chances Gary finally pow-ered a shot home, insisting that allgoal keepers are great strikers.This made the final score 7-0.The other 3rd division side, Stagsside drew 1-1 in a close gameagainst Mapua. The match beganfuriously with a goal each aftertwo minutes, then settled downto a hard fought battle without awinner from either side. Tim Hallscored Richmond's goal, SteveScott was presented with the Manof the Match and mention went to

Aaron Jukes who was in greatform.The 2nd division team continue toimprove and are really beginningto play some nice, consistent foot-ball. Both Nick Gibson and SeanBarker found the back of the net,helping their team to a 2 - 1 winagainst Suburbs. Glenn Pearless,showing form that will probablysee him get a call-up to the 1stdivision side before the end of theseason, had a strong game andwas rewarded as Man of theMatch.The 1st division boys played Sub-urbs at Saxton Field in what prom-ised to be a physical encounterafter the two last met under lightsat Wakefield Domain - and it defi-nitely lived up to that.With end to end play and a spate offree kicks, it was well into thesecond half when Richmond fi-nally took the lead with yet anothergoal from in-form striker WesleyO'lea. Coaches Cary Hamson andSteve Bignall were satisfied withthe 1-0 win and three competitionpoints. They complimented theirkeeper, Karl Numan, who had oneof his best games of the season,denying Suburbs on several occa-sions, and also Ryan Goodwinwho gave another very strong per-formance.The 1st division take on second-placed Marlborough United at Ju-bilee Park this Saturday.
