Three major Nelson busi-nesses have slammed Tasman District Council’s proposed increase to water costs, say-ing they are unjustified and council is being “business un-friendly”.Nelson Pine Industries, Enza and Alliance Group repre-sentatives have been battling for more than a year with council after it revealed plans to in-crease the cost of water to users. The group says negotia-tions have broken down so much they only talk through lawyers letters be-cause “that’s the way they [council] choose to operate”.They say the only option now is arbitration and the sooner the better.But TDC spokesperson Chris Choat says the proposed cost is still one of the cheapest in the country and is histori-cally cheaper than Nelson City Council.

NEWS IN BRIEF

RUBBISH FREE: St Pauls students Mikayla Homesley, Emily Smith, Lydia Inglis and Annalise Edwards, all 6, with their rubbish-free lunch boxes. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Rubbish free dayOne day in the near future St Pauls School principal John Dorman has high hopes not one speck of rub-bish will be present in his school.Last Thursday was rubbish-free day at the school and all students were expected to use containers instead of plastic wrap of packag-ing in their lunch boxes.Although the initiative is cur-rently an irregular one, John and the student council, who came up with the brilliant idea, are hoping it becomes a regular event on the school calendar in the near future.“You’d be surprised at how much rubbish can be created from lunch boxes so we have an aim to reduce this and prevent litter from roam-ing the school,” says John.

• The Tasman District Council has given ap-proval for tenders to be sought for extension work to the current Queen St offices in Rich-mond. Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says staff have been located in a number of buildings and in temporary accommodation. If the tenders or plans don’t meet the immedi-ate and future needs the council will review the development further.

• A decision on whether the Nelson City Coun-cil and the Tasman District Council merge has been delayed until next month. Last week Sue Piper, chair of the local government commis-sion, announced that the commission will make its decision on whether or not to issue a draft re-organisation scheme for the union of Nelson City and Tasman District on June 16.

This week we launch a new competition where our readers can win the front page of the Waimea Weekly for one edition. What would you do if you won?

Alliegh Browning.

“I’d have a story on people with special needs having their own businesses.”

Charles Leaper.

“I love playing tennis so I would promote the Tasman Tennis tournament and have a photo of me playing tennis.”

Lise Kiel.

“I’d advertise my art. I do one off ’s so they’re original and I do a bit of folk art and fur-niture painting. Being on the front page would be good pro-motion of my work.”

Katie Fox.

“I play for Suburban Netball Club so I’d do something on my team to get them some exposure so we can find spon-sorship. Netball fees are really high.”

Water scrap off to arbitration

per year from next month,” says Terry.The major users of the Waimea Industrial Supply say they now need council to agree on the questions proposed so the arbi-tration process can start, with the ope this can be done later this year.A submissions hearing was held by council last Wednesday and Terry says he was surprised they were only given 10 minutes to speak. “I would’ve thought with an is-sue as big as this for the district and as important as this for the district there might’ve been a

greater time slot or some ques-tions allowed.”Talks of arbitration started last June and Terry says the process has included “huge” delays and the council have been “business unfriendly”.“They asked us if they wanted to have one more crack at negotia-tions to which we responded yes we did, provided it was on the basis of the cost of getting us wa-ter not on the basis of what they charge the residents.”Terry and the Waimea Industrial Supply main users are now hop-ing for a positive outcome at ar-bitration, which they are hoping will take place sooner rather than later.

Mayor dons boots for charity walk

READY TO WALK: Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne is pre-paring to walk up Mt Arthur this Sunday in a bid to raise funds for the Summit Rescue Helicopter Trust. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

The 20 Summit Challenge calls into Tasman this weekend with a brisk walk up Mt Arthur with mayor Richard Kempthorne.The 20 Summit Challenge is to celebrate the rescue helicopter’s 20th birthday in the region and gives locals the opportunity to complete one, or all, of the chal-lenges to help celebrate with the turst.The walk up Mt Arthur is for children and adults with above average fitness, with the hike taking around seven or eight hours.Richard says it’s great to sup-port the rescue helicopter trust because they do an “invaluable” job. “The more support from the community we get the better.”With the first walk talking place last weekend and raising $754 dollars in gold coin donations, organisers are hoping the mo-mentum continues. “Anyone who has used the helicopter re-ally appreciates it but we don’t know when we may need it ourselves,” says Richard. Reg-ister at www.20summits.co.nz or visit for more details. There is a suggested $10 donation and children are free, simply pay on the day. For more informa-tion phone 547-7278 or email [email protected]. The meeting point is the Flora Car Park but once registered infor-mation regarding driving times, meeting points and gear lists will be emailed to you.

A spirit of change sweeping through Hyundai is seen in the stunning new i40 medium-sized sedan and wagon. ‘Modern premium’ is the promise from trend-setting Hyundai, which believes premium quality and characteristics should be accessible to every-one. The all-new i40 embodies it with several firsts for the segment: heated and reclining front and rear seats; a heated steering wheel; and an active de-mist system that automatically detects and clears mist on the windscreen. The i40 will be best in class with Hyundai’s 1.7-li-tre diesel engine, codenamed ‘UII’, emitting just 113 g/km of CO2 emissions. Designed and engineered at Hyundai’s R&D headquarters in Russelsheim, Germany, the i40 is the company’s first Large segment vehicle to be developed specifically for the European market. Taking styling cues from Hyundai’s ‘fluidic sculp-ture’ design language, it maintains signature fea-tures such as the hexagonal grille. “This gorgeous new i40 reflects the spirit of change at Hyundai, and for Hyundai New Zea-land as well,” says the Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau. “The i40 is a perfect example of how we are offer-ing the best and making it accessible to everyone.” “For example that best-in-class CO2 figure dem-onstrates the advances we are making towards global leadership in eco-technology,” says Mr Ruddenklau.The wagon will be the first i40 body style in Eu-rope, with a sedan to follow.

You would think it would be an easy decision to make.If there’s a fair amount of water crossing the road then turn around and go back.But for local businessman Frank Goeddert, of Frank’s Trees on Golden Hills Rd, he can’t even re-call the number of vehicles he has removed from either one or the other ford in front of his property because there has been so many. “We had to go and do a rescue three times in one week once,” he says.A ford is a shallow place where a river or stream may be crossed in a vehicle. In New Zealand they often have ramps either side with a concrete base to make passing easier.The water levels that run through the creek that crosses Golden Hills Rd can often get as high as the bridges that join the properties, so Frank often finds himself out with his tractor towing people from the water. “Sometimes the drivers will speed up to try and make it over, but that obviously doesn’t work for them, it can often make it worse.”When travelling through the fords at speed, water will move under the vehicle and flood the engine, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. Cars are often a right-off. “Most insurance compa-nies will know of the fords, and tow truck drivers and mechanics for that matter too. It’s been a good money-maker for the local automotive industry.”Although it is a serious matter, and Frank believes someone will be killed trying to cross the fords in flood one day, the matter is often a source of enter-tainment for the couple, especially when throwing an event or having a BBQ. “We’ll see a car going past and then not see it come back, then it’s time to get the tractor out.”Frank says he can see the funny side of it all but the vehicle rescues have become a burden on his family and his neighbours.Frank says the unbelievable thing is that by travel-ling through the fords, drivers would only be saving around five minutes. “People are just in a hurry. Is it really worth $5,000 or even your life?”The most memorable car to get stuck in the Golden Hills Rd fords was a small car with a 1300cc engine with an older women and her mother. “We were working in the nursery and heard someone call for help. The car had left the concrete pad and was about to go down the stream. I managed to push it back up and somehow they were able to drive away.”

Frank says he hardly ever gets a thankyou but this woman returned later with a box of beers. “She had lost all her money in a finance company and her car was the only thing she owned and I had saved it, she was quite moved by it all.”Over the past fortnight with all the rain the region has experienced Frank says the flooded fords have been the worst ever. There is a sign warning driv-ers of the danger but that doesn’t seem to deter the keen ones. “It hasn’t made any difference, when the ford’s up its chaos here,” says Frank.Frank and his wife Tracey are hoping the wider public will now take a moment when coming up to a ford in flood, because they believe it’s only a mat-ter of time before a life is lost.

Fords an ‘accident waiting to happen’ on Golden Hills Rd

RESCUER: Golden Hills Rd resident Frank Goeddert says the two fords along the road, when they’re in flood, are an accident waiting to happen. Frank and his wife Tracey have lived on the road for 10 years and can’t even remember how many people and vehicles they have rescued from the ford and the flooded creek. Now they’re hop-ing people will take notice of the danger before someone gets killed. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

RESURGENCE: Cafe on Oxford’s Guy McCracken and Pomeroy’s Hayden Thompson with a cup of siphon coffee. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Siphon coffee makes a come backIt’s just like fashion; the trend goes round in circles.Siphon coffee has recently made a return to the Nelson coffee market with two local busi-nesses already jumping on the bandwagon.Guy McCracken from Café on Oxford and Hayden Thompson from Pomeroy’s are hop-ing they can entice their customers to try this different form of coffee. The pair believe si-phon coffee is more about the experience and say if you’re a fan of the drink then this could be something for you, especially if you favour black coffee. “Everyone’s used to espresso but we kind of want to develop people’s tastes. Starting out people will find this just like a filter coffee, but over time if they’re drink-ing it more often and tasting different origins

they’ll get the hang of how complex coffee can be,” says Guy.Guy says the resurgence of siphon coffee will enable cafes to branch out and attract cus-tomers into trying something new.So far he says his customers are interested in trying the coffee after only being in the cafe a couple of weeks. He says this could be because people are recognising the makers from when they were around years ago. “It’s definitely making a resurgence back into cof-fee,” says Hayden. Both Guy and Hayden say they are very hap-py to see this form of coffee back on the mar-ket. “I always want to be doing something new and learning new stuff so this is a way of pushing ourselves a bit further,” says Guy.

Three new band members, two strong songs and a shift in their name helped Garin College band The Peasants win first place for the second year in a row at the 2011 Smokefreerockquest Nelson regional fi-nal on Saturday night.Formerly known as The Peasants of Eden, the sev-en-piece were a popular choice with the crowd of around 700 at the Trafalgar Centre. Lead singer Georgia Nott believes the experience they gained from coming second at the Smokefre-erockquest national finals last year really enhanced

their performance skills. “We learned that you’ve got to let loose on stage and look like you are having a good time,” she says. “I think this year we took more risks, as well as working really well as a group.”In term three The Peasants will be placed with a mentor band before they go on to the national final, to be held in Hamilton on September 17. There were 20 entrants who performed on Saturday afternoon, and the eight called back for the even-ing final also included Waimea College band Days of Rain.

Brendon Barnett is officially go-ing to France. The Waimea College long jumper has now raised the sufficient amount of money needed to fund his trip to Lille, France for the IAAF World Youth Championship, thanks to a quiz night at Waimea College last Friday night.Brendon is the current holder of the national Mens 16 long jump re-cord of 7.19 metres and needed to raise more than $9,000 to

meet the costs. Brendon says he has dreamt

of qualifying for this tournament for the past two years and said on the night of the quiz he had raised $5,000, although an official amount will be calculated in the com-ing days. The current world-leading distance is 7.73m and Brendon has this firmly in his sights.

The tournament will be held on July 6.

College a ‘great’ place to start training

The last two weeks at the Brightwater sale saw prices increase once again, mainly for store lambs of all sizes. Prices are making between $3.80 and $4 per kilo live weight which in effect, lambs are selling s m a l l e s t from $80, m e d i u m ’s $100 and best of the store lambs fetching a w h o p p i n g $120 to $130. B r e e d i n g ewes at last week’s sale fetched $150. In the cattle market ill-breed calves and yearlings are quite hard to sell; the better-bred types are

selling extremely well. The prime beef market has eased slightly over the last couple of weeks due to an influx of boner cows going to the freezing works;

however the prime steed and heifer market is still $4 to $4.25. This market may rise in the coming months once the cull kill cow has eased. A n y b o d y wanting to off-load any sheep at Brightwater

would be well advised to do so in the next two to three weeks on the current buoyant market.

Being able to pass on knowledge to the younger generation was just one of the reasons a group of student teachers turned up for placement earlier this year.A group of six student teachers have spent the past seven weeks at Waimea College practising their craft and they say their expectations have been fully met. “We thought it would be challenging but rewarding at the same time,” says Alix Fursey.The college was also very accommodat-ing, with last minute placements having to be made for several of the teachers due to the Christchurch earthquake.Organisational skills are just one thing needed to be a successful teacher accord-

ing to Tom Speers. “It’s not just about be-ing organised it’s about being three steps ahead of the ball.”The small group say the students at Waimea College are great kids and they have been able to have a lot of fun with them. “They’re all really different, there are heaps of individuals. The school is set up so that there are lots of opportunities for a lot of different people with a lot of dif-ferent wants or needs,” says Tom.The staff at Waimea College have been very helpful and supportive through the process according to the student teachers. “We certainly haven’t been put off teach-ing,” says Tom with a laugh.

If you’re thinking of building the perfect lifestyle house, Platinum Homes gives you more. More options, more room, more comfort, more features, more class – at a price you won’t believe. Platinum Homes show home at 762A Main Rd Stoke reveals the extent and quality of features that come standard in a Platinum home. In contrast to most other show homes, which of-ten feature non-standard extras to wow its visitors, “what customers see in a Platinum show home, is what they will get in their very own Platinum home,” says manager Brendon Gridley. Some of those ex-tra features that come as standard include RibRaft floors, DVS ventilation systems, highly specified bathrooms and kitchens, super stylish Modena light switches and hardwired smoke alarms.Platinum Homes specialises in single storey homes, clad in either brick, or plaster over brick and with con-crete tile roofs. Platinum home owners enjoy the exceptional value made pos-sible by their ex-tensive range of tried and tested home designs, constructed us-ing mostly New Zealand made products, and where possible us-ing local manufacturers to support the local com-

munity. Each Platinum home also comes with a seven-year independent guarantee.Brendon and wife Linda manage Platinum Homes’ northern South Island division which extends from Nelson and Blenheim to Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura right through to Hokitika and Westport.

Brendon had previously been a builder for 12 years and Linda manages the ad-ministration side of the business in between looking after the couple’s three young chil-dren. Brendon and Linda say building your own home is an important and emotional under-taking and they

go out of their way to make it an enjoyable and stress free experience. Brendon and Linda truly believe that home build-ing is a partnership between all parties involved, and are very proud of the relationships they have

formed with all of their clients. Clients can per-sonalise one of Platinum’s 55 standard home plans, choose from their library of plans from over 1000 happy clients, or bring their own de-signs in. There is even a range for first home buy-

ers and investors. The best way to clarify your re-quirements is to take advantage of Platinum’s free

site appraisal, where the possibilities of your site, your plans ideas and dreams, and the Platinum experience can be fully realized. When you choose a Platinum home you choose a sharp, stylish, modern home. You also choose quality, service and reliability as Tony and Lisa discovered:“We have had a wonderful experience building with your company. From the start your program showed

a lot of professionalism in planning and construction and we were always well informed with outcomes and progress. Each of your tradesmen were efficient and their detail to work showed a lot of pride in fin-ish and standards. Jackie and Linda were most help-ful through the setting up of the contract and always ready to make time to help with any questions that we had relating to the build. Brendon’s detail to every issue was to a very high standard and his standards are to a level that provides confidence to his clients to know that they are in professional hands from start to finish. I have no difficulty in recommending Platinum as the top builder within this region. We have built 15 homes over the last 35 years and this is by far the best.” Tony and Lisa Marriott.

After months of waiting the CLM Health and Fitness centre will finally open its doors on Monday.The centre is a welcome addition to the ASB Aquatic Centre in Richmond and will provide swimmers more choice when it comes to fitness and recovery.

You will receive training from friendly, experienced and fully qualified instructors.The fitness centre will give locals a genuine variety of swimming sports and dry training in the one facility. Membership will give you full access to all fitness centre, group fitness classes and pool facilities.Swimmers can become more versatile by working on cardio, fit-ness and strength in the gym which makes the facility the perfect place to train for triathlons. The swimming pool adds another di-mension for those used to, or planning on, just training in a gym scenario because being in the pool gives athletes a chance to relax after their gym workout, and offers a perfect option for recovery and injury management.World Class group fitness programmes. Every class allows par-ticipants to train in a fun, social environment. Training in groups

also pushes and encourages you to train harder.CLM Health and Fitness centre has the Les Mills license and will run their full ten programs. Top of the market equip-ment will be used inside the fitness cen-tre, including the reliable and easy to use Star Trac cardio equipment seen on the Biggest Loser USA.

Richmond Psyi-otherapy has previously used the aquatic centre but the clinic has been included to take massive steps in shortening your recovery time back to full fitness in the ideal facility.The pool aspect will also target a larger demographic.

Eye glasses are expensive and most people try and keep them going as long as possible before they replace them. Recently when we cleared out a relatives property we came across a box full of old glasses in various stages of disrepair. Some had tape on them while others were missing a lens or an arm. This week the Government came out with it’s zero budget in which they are trying to grapple with the economy and other issues our country is facing. I can’t help thinking that no matter what your political persuasion is or what Government is in power they are only ever tinkering with the issues. A wee bit like those glasses that we try to keep going when the screw falls out of the arm. Then after grovelling around we find the screw and attempt to reinsert it without the aid of the correction that our glasses give to our sight because they

are in our hands. The real issue that lies behind the New Zealand economy is that we all want more than we can afford. Rather than tinkering with the broken glasses through which we view and interpret life, maybe it is time for us all to get new glasses and

the new perspective they bring. One that does not promote self over others, everyone can have what they want even at a cost to others. Glasses that instead value relationships above everything else. It was these kind of glasses that Jesus was calling us all to put on when he said “My

command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:12-13. Imagine the depth of wealth there would be in our communities if we were willing to accept Jesus’ challenge of learning a new way of viewing and interpreting life.

KEEP WARM THIS WINTER

It is sad to note that this home which to laymen may still seem to be providing a very good efficient and well supported ser-vice, is to be closed due to it being a finan-cial burden on the local hospital authority.The home as such I remember well first in my having been a long resident of Rich-mond, now approaching some 70 years, and secondly when in 1968 the buildings were required to be demolished two mem-bers of our Richmond Lions Club (Bruce Brydon and Ron Vollmer) approached the Nelson Hospital Board to obtain the right to pull down the buildings as a club fun-draising project. Our club were delighted to obtain that right for the princely sum of 10 shillings ($1), from which sales of materials earned for the club quite a sub-stantial sum of money to be put back in to the community. Also during the time of much back breaking work climbing up and down ladders there was much camaraderie among the members and as I recall no in-

juries of any note were incurred.In 1957 the Nelson Hospital Board under the chairmanship of Mr H. G. West purchased the current site in Gilbert Street for the erection of a new home for the elderly. This new home was officially opened in 1968.During my research for this ar-ticle I have been able to meet Mrs Amber Haley (nee Hunter) whose parents Arthur and May Hunter (nee Hughes) managed the home during the period 1926 to 1945.Below follows an account of the activities and experiences enjoyed by the Hunter family during their period of management and when Mrs Amber Haley lived in the home with her parents. The detail present-ed is compiled by Mrs Haley at the time of a reunion in 1986 of Alexandra Home.Early records prove the existence of an old people’s home in 1874, in what was an Immigration Barracks known as Taranaki Buildings which had been a refuge for

refugees from the Taranaki Maori Wars. A 54 roomed es-tablishment containing 40 bed-rooms, situated on the corner of Waimea Street (now Rutherford Street) and Examiner Street. The staff consisted of Matron and one assistant. On August 17th 1909 the Nelson Colonist newspaper reports that “fire burned down the vermin in-fested building to the ground”.

The residents then moved to an establish-ment on the corner of Waimea Road and Tukuka Street. Discussion on naming the home took place and “Alexandra” was cho-sen above “Victoria” (the Queen recently deceased). There were 33 inmates and Mr F. Lusty was Superintendent. This home suffered the same fate as its predecessor and was burnt down in 1916. In 1917 a move to the “Home for Detectives” in Richmond, a home built for Mr R. McRae and previously known as “Bono-Voree” is today the site of Salisbury Girls School, a

garden shed from this time still stands in the grounds. April 5 1917 brought another move to a home built for Mr T. Hod-son in 1895, it was situated on the corner of Queen and Hill Streets, Richmond and “Alex-andra Home” remained there until the move to the present

site in Gilbert Street, Richmond on the 12th June 1968.Mr Bill Crouch was the supervisor and lived in the residence with his wife and daughter Ellie. There were 20 inmates and the men were housed in small detached cottages and tended the extensive gardens.Present at the reunion were several ladies who gave service in the early days of the home including Mrs Olive Scully (nee Schroder), 1921 to 1928, Mrs Ellen Sav-age (nee Bint) 1921 to 1922, Mrs Doreen Fowler (nee Newport), 1933, Mr & Mrs A. Hunter, Master & Matron, 1926 to 1945 were represented by their daughter Mrs Amber Haley who along with her brother Lloyd were children and grew up at Al-exandra Home. Mrs Hunter resigned her position as Matron owing to ill health and on December 1st 1939 Miss Ruby Boyes, now Mrs Leppien, was appointed and held the position until 1944. As the oldest living Matron, Mrs Leppien was a guest of hon-our and cut the reunion cake.Mr Hunter retired in 1945 and Miss Kath-leen Reed became Assistant Matron. From 1945 to more recent times many people have given service including Mr & Mrs Kinder, Mrs Shallcrass, Miss Caldwell, Mr & Mrs White, Mr & Mrs Adams and Mr & Mrs Reay. At the present time (1986) the positions are held by Mrs Christina Stew-art as Principal Nurse and Mrs Margery Mercer, Charge Nurse. To be continued...

Waimea College 10A retained their unbeaten record in Grade 3 when they accounted for Wanderers Phoenix to the tune of 39 – 21.After jumping out to a 15–5 lead after just 15 minutes coach Mandy Whiting rung the changes as she looks forward to the team’s Year 10 tournament which is to be held in Christchurch in July. Court time was shared as each player is given the opportunity to display their versatility as different combinations are tried.Such is the talent of the Waimea team that six of the seven trialists were named in the Nelson Under 15 team with a seventh named in the Development team. The remaining two did not trial as they had other sporting commitments that clash with those of netball. That’s one very talented line up!Goal shoot Shaun Aindow returned commendable statistics after sitting

out last week on account of injury. Shaun was ably assisted by Brittani Harrington and Courtney Zwart. Courtney was versatility personified as she performed admirably in the unaccustomed positions of goal defence and wing defence.The mid courters – Breanna Whiting, Jessie Matthews and Lucy Ingham had excellent timing through court and displayed patience on the feed. Their through court defence was also effective.Circle defenders Gracie Roberts, Annie Eden and Emma Deighton combined extremely well where they gathered in some great intercept ball and were strong rebounders which denied Wanderers the second shot.Waimea will face stiff opposition within the next two games when they face Prices Pharmacy Black and Jacks

Pro Netball.Waimea College B finished strongly to defeat Stoke Richards Woodhouse 31–26 in the Grade 2 game.Although their statistics were not at their usually high rate, Jordan Dennehy and

Freya Watson were effective and they rebounded strongly. Wing defence Kate Kempthorne played a tight, restricting game on her opposite and the pressure she applied meant the defenders behind her, Ashleigh Inch and Megan Williams could pick up valuable ball.Coach Lynn Olsen said her charges were coming together well considering they are made from a number of different teams. There is still work to do on the combinations, however they did bring the ball through court nicely and their defensive work, particularly on the back line throw in was great.

College have no reason to hang heads in shame, say coachesTwo birthdays in the team on Saturday wasn’t enough to give Waimea College a win over South Island champions St Bedes.But the coaches are happy with the effort and commitment the boys put into the tough match despite getting “hammered” 56-6. “We’re wrapt they were able to play the full 70 minutes with their heads held high,” says team manager Jim Matthews.The St Bedes squad were a physically large side compared to the Waimea team, who were often pushed backwards in the scrum. Players that stood out according to Jim were Dane Paton, Daniel McLauchlan, Sean Clementson, Riley Johnston and Luka Roden’s kicking, despite the three that hit the sticks and re-bounded.A little bruised and battered after a tough game,

the boys were able to get together to celebrate Jamie McKenzie and Luka Roden’s birthday on Saturday night.Jim says team management are pleased the boys have been fronted up well over the past two games, considering they were two big games against Nelson and St Bedes. “The boys have been showing they are a reliable team with consistency,” says Jim. Next up for the 1st XV is Nayland at Jubilee Park this Saturday from 1.30pm as a curtain raiser to the Waimea Old Boys division one squad on club day.The squad then have St Andrews and St Thomas. “Over the next three games we’re hoping for wins so we can end the round in the top four,” says Jim.The top four of each North and South region go into another draw for the second half of the season.

Waimea Old Boys Club Daywww.wobrfc.co.nz

Saturday28 May 2011

Waimea Old Boys Club Day – it’s the most important day in the club’s rugby calendar. Whether you are a staunch supporter of Waimea Old Boys Rugby Club, or you just like to head down and watch the occasional game, make sure you don’t miss out on this chance to see all of the Waimea Old Boys teams, from the JAB teams right through to the division one side, doing the busi-ness at Jubilee Park.The picturesque playing fields at Ju-bilee Park will be swarming with red and white hooped jerseys this Satur-day. Club Day is an annual occasion which showcases the value, success, encouragement and support that are the essence of a real grassroots club like Waimea Old Boys. If you have ever played for a Waimea Old Boys team, or been part of a coaching, management or support team, make the effort to head along on Satur-day. You will no doubt catch up with some old mates and make some new ones. “We’ve noticed past players and coaches sneaking along on Saturdays to support us and it’s a good sign of the respect and good memories these people have of being associated with Waimea Old Boys,” says club presi-dent Duane Whiting. The big day kicks off at 9.30am with

the very popular rippa rugby grades of under 6 and under 8 teams. These devoted youngsters live for their rugby and they

show a passion for the game that will see most of them continuing to play through the grades.The next stage of play sees the vigor-ous under 9’s through to intermediate teams performing in front of what’s usually a lively and vocal crowd, in-cluding parents, grandparents and other family members, friends and neighbours. These memorable games not only inspire the players but they galvanise the crowd and remind us what club day is really all about; pa-rochial pride and sporting passion.“It’s not just about the players, but it’s the family, the extended family, the coaches, the managers and most significantly the friends for life cre-ated in the grass roots rugby envi-ronment,” says Aleisha Hart, Waimea Old Boys club secretary. “Our pros-perous club’s origin comes from the depth and the devotion contributed by our JAB teams. The odyssey and direction players choose for a life time of rugby gratification begins right here with Waimea Old Boys club day.”These curtain raisers will really set the tone of passion, pressure and guts

given for our senior teams. Each of these teams is very competitive and achieve a vast majority of victories. These high standards are set and in keeping with the smart team uniforms and the magnanimous backing of Waimea Old Boys duti-ful sponsors.The senior teams are all playing well and are cur-rently in the second round of the season. With a few games needing to be played during the week

Waimea Halfback Kaide Whiting holds onto the ball tightly as one Stoke player tries to rip it from him and another attempts to take him down.

JUNIOR RUGBY: Waimea Old Boys JAB player Anya Schultz runs up the field for the under 10s against Stoke.

due to the Rugby World Cup in September there will be some weeks when the boys will be playing three games in seven days. This past week was one of these, with the Stables Tavern Waimea Old Boys division one team taking on Marist at

Trafalgar Park last Tuesday. The boys were weary after a tough match against Huia on the Saturday and had to put in a hard training on the Monday night in preparation. They weren’t quite able to do it, going down 29-19.Club Day will see the Stables Tavern division one team, captained by inspirational lock forward Ben Coman, taking on great rivals Accessman Stoke at 3pm, following a curtain raiser at 1.30pm where Waimea College 1st XV will be playing Nayland College. Andrew Lethan is having a great season with the boot with a high strike rate; James Lowe, or “J-Lo” as they call him, is also having a stun-ner. A number of imports are featuring well for the squad and include Japanese players Masakazu Toyota and Taiki Koyanagi. The Super Liquor Division two team have been training hard and getting the results they want, currently sitting second on the table. They play at 1.45pm against Taylors Wanderers.Stables Tavern Waimea Old Boys division three team are also currently second on the table, and aiming to repeat their performance of last sea-son when they won the title for the first time in 20 years. They will be playing Wakatu Marist at 2.45pm. Keep an eye on their front row – every player is over 50 and showing the guts and deter-mination that Waimea Old Boys players are known for.The Women’s Division match kicks off at 1.15pm against Accessman Stoke.

A callout is being made to all past members who contributed to the building of the club-rooms between 1970 and 1978. Please be present at Jubilee Park at 4.30pm, immedi-ately following the sen-ior game, on Saturday when club president, Duane Whiting, will

acknowledge the hard work and effort that these members put in to the construction of the extension to the clubrooms. This ad-dress will include the dedication of the up-stairs lounge to John Wilkes, which will now be named the Wilkes Lounge.

Waimea Old Boys members from 1970 – 1978, John Wilkes, Bob Christian and Rob Krammer are pictured hard at work on the building of the new clubrooms.

New Technology The Waimea Old Boys club have a great facebook page that is regularly updated with photos and re-sults, along with anything else you might need to know about the club. In the past week the club has also signed up to twitter, a new form of social media. These sites will enable the club to keep in touch with all members and supporters in a much more efficient way than ever before.

out recently. The ladies took the ti-tle last year and have been working well together this season, trying dif-ferent combinations with the mix of returning champions from last sea-son and a number of new players, to ensure they retain their crown.Club Day will also provide plenty of activity off the field. Sponsors, Nelson Building Society will be in attendance with bouncy castles, an obstacle course, balloons and face painting for the children and the kitchen will be open throughout the day. Make a day of it on Saturday – if you are interested in watching a little or a lot of rugby at a hospitable local rugby club - come along for the kids games and then watch the seniors get revenge on Stoke. Here’s your chance to get involved in a warm up to this years exciting Rug-

by World Cup.No mat-ter what the results are on club day, you can be sure the social i n t e r a c -tion at the Wa i m e a c l u b -

rooms on Saturday night will be festive. The after match activities include a delicious spit roast meal provided by Westmeat and spon-sored by Hynds Pipes, who are also sponsoring the whole day. To complement a good spread of food there will be great music provided by the ever popular band, Antoni Neal’s Dog on the Bonnet.

We really do appreciate our gener-ous sponsors Waimea Old Boys wouldn’t be able to run its club with teams through all the grades without the generous sponsorship of so many local busi-nesses. Club presided Duane Whit-ing says, “We are very appreciative of this vital financial support and work hard to maximise the returns for investors. To this end we pub-licise, promote and patronise our sponsors at every opportunity and we do our very best to achieve the best results possible on the park, so businesses can be proud to be assci-ated with us. I think we are doing a pretty good job so far this season with all our teams performing well. We thank all our sponsors who are getting right behind our club this season. I’d like to see representa-tives from all our sponsor compa-nies at Jubilee Park to prove we’re doing our best for you.”

Waimea Old Boys 2011www.wobrfc.co.nz

It was the first time they had met since last year’s stunning final and it pro-vided the same result this time around too.The Stables Waimea Old Boys divi-sion three side travelled to Motueka to take on Mot United over the week-end and came away with a strong win ahead of the Waimea Old Boys club day this Saturday.Motueka United have a strong team that never gives up and these attrib-utes shone through on Saturday and so the Waimea thirsty thirds knew they had to step it up from their muddling

display against the Rangers the week before.It was a disappointing start for Waimea as the Motueka team rejoiced in gain-ing an early advantage of 5-0 in the first 30 seconds of the game with Waimea not even touching the ball.However the remaining 35 minutes of the first half belonged to a spirited Waimea side, albeit a few handling lapses along the way. Some power-ful running came from power house number eight Ali Fahiua, coupled with some great finishing from the backs. Notable were Jay Wright and Josh Sto-

bie who both scored excellent tries off the back of some great go-forward ball from the tight five.Highlight, well in his eyes anyway, of the half was captain Marc Hunter scoring, not only his second try in two weeks but also his second try in 25 years, proving that lightening does in-deed strike twice. The half time score was 27-5 to Waimea.The second half proved more of an even play-ing field as Mot United really stepped up their game. Winger Cory Herbert showed some good pace and touches as did the loose forward trio of Luke Christenson, Ali Fahiua and Cliff Chris-tenson. Some astute tactical changes from the coaching panel kept the boys fresh as they matched the Motueka effort.The pace of the game never let up, Motueka took full advantage of a seemly relaxed Waimea side and scored two late tries. It was an old Fitzy

favourite of ‘a game of two halves’ – the final score seeing Waimea take the game by 30-22.This weekend will see the clash of the top of the table for round one winners honours against currently unbeaten Nelson Marist – given this is the Waimea club day the boys are expecting a big outing with lots of local, vocal support. The Super Liquor Waimea Old Boys division two squad also pulled out a win over the week-end against Nelson, with the full time whistle seeing the scoreboard read 45-8. Try scorers were Adam Mytton, Taiki Koy-anagi, Ben Jeffrey, Paddy Smith, Todd Brodie, Jamie Galloway and Greg Monk. Five conver-sions were made by Paddy Smith.The Stables Tavern Waimea Old Boys divi-sion one side however, put in their worst per-formance of the season, going down to Nelson 36-24 at Neale Park on Saturday. The boys now need to win their remaining games if they want to be in contention for the playoffs.

It was all about the kids on Saturday as the Wanderers Sports Club celebrated their an-nual club day.With a whole heap of sausages and bread floating around Centennial Park on Satur-day, club administrator Diane Drogemul-ler says everyone appeared to be having a great time, especially the children. “We had a good turnout and in the club rooms we saw people you wouldn’t expect to see so the wider community was certainly here.”While the day is essentially a fundraiser for the club, Diane says it was great to see everyone having such a lovely time. “The weather was great too, we couldn’t have asked for better.”With the hard work over there is already talk about next year’s club day, but the tidy-up after this one has to finish first before work on Club Day 2012 starts.

Tasman hockey player Jared Jones is just an inch short of reaching his ultimate goal.The 20 year-old ex-Waimea College student is currently playing hock-ey in Wellington and earlier this month was selected for the Junior Black Sticks that will tour Malaysia later in the year.Jared’s father Paul says he is very proud of his son’s achievements but will be even prouder when he makes the full Black Sticks squad. And according to him it’s a case of when, not if.Working in Jared’s favour is the strong hockey background he re-ceived while playing in Tasman and

Nelson.Jared was recognised as having enough talent to represent New Zealand when he was just 16. This is a fact Paul would like other hockey players around the region to take on board. “If you live here and play club hockey you do have the oppor-tunity to represent your country, you can make it.”It is no longer a case of the bigger the union the better – smaller un-ions like Nelson are seeing the tal-ent emerge.And it won’t be long until the re-gion produces a Black Stick, as long as Jared keeps working as hard as he is, according to Paul.

Now that he's in his second year of the National Basketball League, Tom Ingham is looking to make a giant contribution.The Waimea College guard is a member of the Fico Finance Nelson Giants roster and after a year as a development player, he's ready for the call from coach Chris Tupu.After a slow start to the NBL season, the Nel-son Giants picked up an important away victory against the previously unbeaten Wellington Saints 99-93. The 17 year-old says the team is starting to gel with Phill Jones, Mika Vukona and Rod Grizzard settling in to the squad. “Those guys haven't been at training, so it's quite tough to adapt. As we showed the other night, it's not going to take us too long to adapt. I think we're going to be set now,” Tom says.But despite Nelson's star-studded roster, only one player outside the imports has not been previ-ously involved in Nelson secondary school bas-ketball, which has been hugely beneficial for the Nelson under-19 captain. “All those guys understand the road through Nel-

son Basketball, they've all gone through that rep program. They can relate to what you're going through. They're constantly trying to make you better. They don't hold back. You're the young guy in the team so you've gotta bring it otherwise you're going to get embarrassed out there.”The Nelson under-19 basketball side finished sec-ond at the South Island Championship at Saxton Stadium early last month. Tom led the side which also featured a number of Nelson Giants development members. He says their involvement in the Giants team has made the rep sides “a lot stronger” and gives them the incentive to keep chasing their dreams.Tom was heavily involved in the pre-season tour-nament at the start of the NBL but is trying his hardest in training to impress the coaching staff. But he says just being involved in the setup is making him a better player. “If I keep getting bet-ter and better then that game time will just come naturally. With Phill Jones and that around me, my game is only going to get better.”Tom hopes to continue playing for the Nelson Giants when he leaves school and has a dream of playing professionally overseas and for the New Zealand Breakers.
