WHO CAN KEEP YOUR TOOLS SECURE AND SAFE?

They say volunteering pays off, for Aleisha Hart it has big time.The St John volunteer, vol-unteer firefighter, rugby club manager and mum has won a national competition to attend the Rugby World Cup final in Auckland.Aleisha, the secretary and treas-urer of the Waimea Old Boys rugby club, takes care of the day-to-day running of the club, as well as looking after its gym, the bar and the kitchen. She is also responsible for organising the touch rugby courses in the summer, all of which she does as a volunteer. But it isn’t just off-field where Aleisha excels, she also plays fullback for the club’s wom-an’s team, which won the club championship on Saturday, in fact it was Aleisha who scored the winning try on fulltime.In her spare time she is a quali-fied emergency medical techni-cian with St John and a volun-teer firefighter at the Richmond fire brigade, she also has a six year old daughter, Paris and works as a promotions coordi-nator.Aleisha says she was given the shock of her life last week when she answered her door to find former All Black Josh Kronfeld at her door. “I was blown away, it was amaz-ing, I thought because of my work it was a courier at the door but when I opened it and

Local Labour Party List MP, Maryan Street says residents of Waimea Village are being exploited due to what she de-scribes as an “appar-ent gap” in the 2003 Retirement Village Act.And she is now hop-ing to close that gap by tabling a private members bill in par-liament and stop the likes of Village owners Michael and Carolyn Wright “exploiting” residents.Two weeks ago Annette King, deputy leader of the Labour Party, met with resi-dents from Waimea Village while on a visit to Richmond. She was visibly shocked by is-sues residents raised with her and prom-ised to look into those issues with people in caucus. At the time Annette said, there was obvi-ously a very large loophole be-cause Waimea Village was not a registered retirement home. “I will undertake to come back

to you on what we can do to ad-dress the situation.”On Monday Maryan, who has been working with Annette on the issue, met with members of the Waimea Village Residents

Committee, who she described as clearly “unhappy and scared.”She brought them up to date with what ac-tion was being under-taken and to reassure them that the matter was being investi-gated further. Maryan

said that the Retirement Com-missioner, Dianna Crossan was meeting with the Registrar of Rest homes the following day to

discuss the situation at Waimea Village.Maryan says it ap-pears that Waimea Village found a gap in the 2003 Retirement Village Act and she is preparing a private members bill to fill that gap and put in

legislation that can protect any-body from exploitation.“It would appear to me these

saw Josh Kronfeld I couldn’t believe it.”Josh was there as part of a pro-motion by Coca Cola to find the country’s “unsung heroes”, people in the community mak-ing an outstanding contribu-tion to New Zealand rugby.Four winners, including Alei-

sha, were selected from nomi-nees by a panel of judges which included representatives from Coca Cola Oceania and Media Works. Winners will be aired on TV3 and will win tickets to the final, flights and accommo-dation.Aleisha was nominated by Kurt Patterson, who works at the club’s bar with her and who

says she does an “awesome job”. “She likes to help people and has a passion for the club which has taken over her life.”Aleisha plans to take Kurt with her to the final as a thank you, “If he hadn’t nominated me I wouldn’t be going. I love rugby and to be going to the World Cup is fantastic surprise, I can’t wait.”

Energy consumers in the region are set to get discount off their power bill, thanks to a $6.83 million profit announced by Network Tasman last week.Network Tasman Trust at its AGM on Friday received the annual report of Network Tasman Limited. The Company had a good year showing an operating surplus after tax of $6.83 million.Trevor Tuffnell, chairman of the Trust says the result was excellent for consumers. “The average consumer has received around $250 directly from the Company as a discount

off their power bill regardless of who their energy supplier is and the Trust also sent them a cheque for $70 last December. This is a sum of almost $13 million passed to consumers during the year. This is more than one month’s power bill for the average consumer.”Trevor says he is happy with the result, especially considering the company’s expenditure of almost $1.3 million dol-lars on items such as undergrounding Gladstone

Rd on the entrance to Richmond and support for ‘The Loop’ high speed fibre education network.He also commented that the Trust had completed a review of its Deed (this is the document that controls the opera-tions of the Trust). “It should be noted that in achieving this result the lines charges are still 8 per cent below the maximum allow-able price set by the Commerce Com-

mission”.

Mayor Richard Kempthorne says his focus today is on the issue of amalgamation, which he de-scribes as top priority.“Prior to the election last year I said the Lee valley Dam was the priority, however that has changed since April and without doubt the issue of amalgamation is now number one. Once that is out of the way and if we stay as two councils then we will come back to the Lee Valley Dam issue and another equally important one, the proposed Coastal Pipeline.“With the Lee Valley Dam over the last few years we have done pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, basically we’ve done all the work to show that this is the best thing to do. Now we have to work out how much it is going to cost and how it’s going to be governed. We will then have to consult with the respective com-munities, Waimea Augmentation Com-mittee with irrigators and us [council] with the urban users because it’s going to have a big impact on the water charges for Ur-ban Tasman.“So that’s the big thing, the second is the coast-al pipeline. In 2002 we discovered that in the Waimea Plains we are 22 percent over allocated, we used to think we were fully allocated but the frequency of rationing showed that we did’nt have that much, so we are really constrained. However beneath Motueka there is a great vol-ume of water that goes straight out to sea. They have an abundance for the existing town and for all the irrigable land plus quite a surplus.“The Council went through an exercise in re-source consent to take a small portion of that surplus and bring it across in a pipeline over the

coastal Tasman area, then continue the pipeline across to Mapua which is at capacity with water. “In the process we will be able to reticulate plac-es like Tasman and all the rural residential areas either side. It will have a big flow on benefit.“However, three quarters of Motueka are not in the council reticulation and they don’t want to come into the town’s reticulation. “We are going through an exercise now to see if we can get a government subsidy which had

previously been available. We’re just sit-ting on a knives edge on that one I think to see if we can get that water to reticu-late the rest of Motueka, it’s a work in progress but for all communities they’ve got all this water and they want to keep that surplus there because in the future it might disappear and they want to pre-serve it for Motueka.“We from the council sitting over the whole district say, “Actually you’ve got a huge surplus at the moment and it’s re-

ally fair you share it.“We have been through resource consent and Council had to do bore tests to prove there was a big surplus and by taking the amount it was going to would have a minimal impact on neigh-bours and the town.”Mayor Kempthorne acknowledges some opposi-tion to the plan and says he can understand it. “Years ago when I was the Waimea Water User Rep, Nelson said they were going to come and buy one of the local dairy farms and take the wa-ter from that and I said, “No you’re not that’s our water, so I’ve been on both sides of the fence. It’s a work in progress; however, meanwhile the fo-cus is currently on the issue of Amalgamation.”

Amalgamation is biggest issue facing us, says mayor

Richard Kempthorne.

Winning is something Kevin Withington is becoming all to familiar with. In June Kevin won the regional Nelson Young Fruit Grower of the Year Award which took him to the Young Grower of the Year Competition held at the Horti-culture New Zealand Confer-ence in Rotorua last week Up against some tough compe-tition the young crop manager from Hoddys Orchard, Rich-mond once again showed his ability and skill, successfully winning the Young Fruit Grower of the Year title. This was not the first time Kevin had entered the competition, last year he won the regional event but was unsuccessful in the Na-tional event. Having now won he says he will not be entering as a competitor again as it is quite stressful, especially when you have a young family.“It’s a really good event and I hope to take more of a leader-ship role and mentor some of the other young guys that are around and also lift the profile of the whole competition for the region as well.“I think the whole region will benefit from a bit more of a col-laborative mentality, you know not being so, ‘Oh I don’t want to tell them how to do anything’ and just sort of getting people to work together a wee bit more.“I learnt truckloads from this ex-perience and even if you don’t place in the compe-tition just the sheer preparation that you’ve gone through to try and up skill for the events means you’ve learnt a lot along the way as well as having the experience of doing it.”Kevin also won an award for ‘Best Speech” some-thing he believes secured the overall win for him.“I think that really cemented the win for me in the Young Fruit Grower of the Year, the competition was so close, there was about half a mark between me and Chris Treneman from Hawkes Bay I think

the speech just sealed the deal.”Kevin has worked at Hoddys Orchard for approx-imately 10 years and has slowly worked his was up through the ranks to his current position as Crop Manager, a job he says he loves.He has now been accepted for the Horticulture New Zealand leadership programme, an intensive four day course held at Lincoln University, which only 12 people from throughout New Zealand are selected for each year.“It’s a very intensive workshop, which I am really looking forward to,” says Kevin.

It’s drawn praise and accolades worldwide for several years, and now the Hyundai Santa Fe has been named the best mid-sized SUV by NZ4WD magazine.The leading publication, trusted as much by the off-road community as by city drivers, recognises Hyundai’s leadership of the New Zealand market.“Naturally we are delighted with this award from such a prestigious publication,” commented Chief Operat-ing Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau.“People often think of the Santa Fe as a city vehi-cle, for families on the school run and Saturday sport, and we sometimes forget its prowess off-road. This is a timely reminder of what a well-equipped all-rounder the Santa Fe is.”Ever since it burst into the Kiwi consciousness

with its cute TV toddlers heading off to the beach, the Santa Fe has positioned itself over the years as New Zealand’s family wagon.It bristles with new-age technology. The Santa Fe’s new R-Series diesel engines provide more power, torque and fuel efficiency, while the Theta-II pet-

rol engine variants are truly world-class.The Santa Fe incorporates advanced safety features such as rollover sensors and, timely in New Zealand right now, a rear-view camera. “We’re certainly excited to

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

Santa Fe best in field, says NZ4WDAdvertorial.

Staff at Alexandra Hospital, are delighted with their new ‘man shed’ which when full with tools will help provide both an interest and enjoy-ment for residents.The shed was the idea of Kevin Black, Liaison Officer of local rugby team the Tasman Mako’s. With three young players, Lucky Mulipola, James Proctor and Tevita Koloamatangi happy to build it, Kevin approached Chris Young, Manager of Placemakers, who donated the nec-essary materials.The shed will store gardening tools; paint brush-es, pots and other equipment that residents can use to undertake projects and work around the gardens. Occupational Therapist Kara Fagan says the shed is wonderful and will provide resi-dents with tools to engage in activities they will enjoy. Many residents suffer with dementia and come to Alexandra Hospital for temporary as-sessment of their existing needs and ongoing care. Being able to provide interests and activi-ties for them is both important and beneficial.Chris Young says that Placemaker’s like to sup-port projects such as this in the local commu-nity whenever possible.

Commission rejects TDC complaintTasman District Council has been knocked back by the Local Government Commission after it sought to have an “error-ridden” report withdrawn.Waimea Weekly was first to report that several Tasman District councillors were unhappy to see several major errors in a report prepared for the commission to look at cost savings in the event of an amalgamation of Nelson City and Tas-man District Councils.The commission recommended a draft reorganisation scheme in June after a petition by Aldo Miccio forced the com-mission to look at the regions govern-

ance. The commission has said any er-rors were not significant enough to pull the report or change the mind of the commission.TDC councillor Judene Edgar says there are inconsistencies in the report and is still not happy with it.“I believe mixed messages are coming through I wouldn’t be too happy with it if I was a ratepayer.”Representative of Nelson and Tasman electors, Aldo Miccio, says he was not surprised at the decision.“It was no surprise that some at TDC against the union proposal would attack

the independent commissioners positive cost benefit analysis with speculation and allegations around inaccuracies and its good to see the independent commis-sion has stood up to the attack and re-buked certain peoples, somewhat cyni-cal, attack so the community can now have confidence in the information they have provided.”The draft proposal is currently out for submission, if the commission still thinks amalgamation is best for the re-gion, it will go to a vote, with a majority in both Nelson and Tasman needing to vote for a merger.

A staggering seven meter high playground is being erected at the ASB Aquatic and Fitness Centre, the biggest of its kind in the top of the south, says Tasman District Council reserves of-ficer Glenn Thorn.The structure, named Coronet Peak, is due for completion in just over two weeks time along with a slide, swing and garden.Glenn says the climbing net design was chosen as a “destination-type playground” as it chal-lenges children and builds upper body strength. “The whole promotion around some of the playgrounds now is challenging and adding that element of fear. Yes you can fall through the net, but it’s designed so you can’t fall more than three meters,” says Glenn. “Children can climb to the height they are comfortable with.”The playground will cost approximately $89,000 and is funded by reserves financial contribu-tions. Negotiations with the TDC and ASB Aquatic Centre management started six months ago and both parties say it adds “another ele-ment” to the facility, after the recent opening of the fitness centre.

Cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds could be seen at the Nelson Catshow over the weekend. The two day event attracted entrants from around the country and a large number of ‘cat lovers’ turned out for the event. Competition was fierce as competitors groomed and prepared their pets for judging.With numerous catergories to be judged from Companion Cats through to in-dividual breeds such as British Blues and Scottish Fold’s, judges were kept throughout the whole event.

We meet your needs,your way.The best care is care with a personal touch.

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

Why chose the Metlifecare way of doing things?

You choose the care services you need.

We care for you in your own home.

Stay independent rather than dependent.

We have friendly, professional staff.

Ideas for the “Signing up the Makos” competi-tion are already flooding in with just weeks until it offically launches.The competition, run by Tasman Makos sponsor Richmond Mall, aims to get Nelson folk show-ing support for their team by making a sign that says “Go Makos”, make sure you also include the words “Richmond Mall” somewhere on the sign. Then put it up somewhere between Rai Valley and Murchison and take a photo to prove it. All photos need to be sent into Waimea Week-ly and the best sign up before each of the three

games to be played in Nelson will win one of three $1000 Mall vouchers. Photos must be raw (not altered) and you must include sign location details and your name, address and contact de-tails. The best looking sign in the coolest location will win one of the three $1000 prizes. But to be in to win signs must be up by the day prior to each of the games – August 16, 21 and 25 – and emailed to us before the game starts.All photos for the “Signing up the Makos” com-petition need to be sent to [email protected].

Josh Wilkinson, 11, of Stoke, kicks a ball through the sign he and his sister Leeah made for the Signing up the Makos competition, which kicks off in mid August.

They work tirelessly and give so much for the benefit of those who live in the Nel-son Tasman regions.

Festival Fever is gripping Richmond and organisers are busy ‘fine tuning’ prepa-rations to ensure the success of the three-day Richmond Festival in September. Described as a celebration of cultural diversity and en-tertainment the festival wel-comes the USA Rugby team and supporters from far and wide. This is part of the nation-wide REAL New Zealand Festival, coinciding with Rugby World Cup 2011.On Monday 26th Septem-ber, from 12.00noon – 1.00pm all things American will descend on Queen St, as the Main Street Procession marches into Richmond. The procession will be led by a March-ing Band and followed by everything that may be considered truly American, Cheerleaders, Classic American Hot Rods, Harley Bikes, Rock n Roll Danc-ers and Mid-West-ern Line Dancers. Added to this will be Primary School children from Rich-mond, Henley and St Paul’s Primary Schools plus members from the USA Eagles Rugby Team, American Embassy dignitaries and other special guests.Participants will assemble in the TDC/El Taverna car park before proceed-ing down Queen St, turning right into

Croucher St and finishing up in the Sundial Square car park. During the parade a road closure will be in effect as a safety precaution to ensure the road is kept safe and free of hazards, Road Marshalls will be stationed at each

adjoining intersec-tion.Performances from

parade participants, plus the opportu-nity to photo’s and interact with these iconic American showpieces will be on offer at Sundial Square following the pa-rade. Parts of the square, including the car park will remain closed throughout the afternoon as setup continues for the evening ‘block party’ festivities.

Richmond main street shops and mall retailers will be encouraged to endorse the ‘All American’ theme and will be supplied with red, white and blue deco-ration kits comprising of bunting, bal-loons, streams and Richmond Festival signage.Event organiser Paul McConachie says the support of Richmond Unlimited has been invaluable and their support has made the event possible. If school groups or businesses want to be involved in the parade, Paul says he would love to hear from you as there are still some spaces available. He can be contacted at the TDC offices on 543 8400.

LETTERSTO THE EDITORYour front page article concerning the Lee Valley dam states that the storage capacity will be 13 million cubic metres and, among other things, will provide power. Surely Network Tasman will come on board and demand the height of the dam be increased by twice the proposed amount, with stor-age of 100 million cubic metres and the installation of a water driven turbine and a generator capable of supplying all of the Tasman district with power for the next 100 years. Charging half the price of the current power suppliers for this commod-ity would bring in huge profits on the ini-tial outlay in a surprisingly short period.Yours Faithfully, M A Thompson.

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

Destination Nelson Lakes do! Are you aware, however, that despite the crowd at Rotoiti lakeside on the one week-end of the year that half of Nelson decided to come up and play in the snow - and who had a wonderful time - a lot of Nelsonians actually have never been to the lake and even have no idea where St Arnaud is? We plan to do something about that.While at St Arnaud, what did you do to support the local businesses? Did you visit the store or the DoC Information Centre? Or stay overnight, or visit the art studio? Or buy a meal or a beer? A smaller community like ours, while ap-preciating and valuing always the natural environment also needs to survive finan-cially. We certainly hope that you and your family (and many others too) continue to visit and enjoy the Nelson Lakes area - not only its natural elements but its history and culture and the people who live and work here - you may be surprised that we are such a friendly lot. We plan to co-ordinate and promote these and other events through Destination Nelson Lakes. And yes, we will invite you

too to these and other events that Destination Nelson will be hold-ing and will be promoting these and Destination Nelson Lakes as widely as we can. Come join in the fun!Helen Campbell, Secretary, Desti-nation Nelson Lakes.

I’m writing a response to Sharon Marsden’s letter to the editor in your last issue of Waimea Weekly.The new Nelson lake Promotion-al Group does not represent the majority of business owners in St Arnaud. Many of us don’t belong to their group or support their aggressive approach to promot-

ing our area as a destination. Most of their members are made up of holiday home owners and tradesmen.Those members who do own accommoda-tion are small home stay or B & B opera-tors who are desperately trying to fill their beds and are only promoting Nelson Lakes to fill beds for their financial gain. They are forgetting the fundamental attraction to the area, which is “The Nelson lakes National Park” itself. If the Promotional Group have their way they would want to have another Queenstown here in St Ar-naud. Sharon Marsden was unlucky to vis-it our beautiful lake on the first weekend after a heavy snowfall. You have to expect large numbers of families from Nelson and Marlborough who come to enjoy what Mother Nature has sent us. It would be selfish to deny these people the benefit of this accessible snow playground. We welcome these people. As they put money back into the local business com-munity and are only here for a couple of hours. I see where Sharon is coming from and it would be terrible to see St Arnaud become another Queenstown.I would encourage you to contact all the business owners in St Arnaud to get their real views on this subject. Not just a few greedy business people who only want to make a quick buck.Mark Chapman, St Arnaud.

In response to Sharon Marsden’s letter, I am amazes that she really believes that the people she has described (her being one of them) in her letter are “tourists”.They are not; they are local Nelson and Marlborough day-trippers that come for a couple of hours to play when we have a snow fall. These are not real tourists and not the type that we in the tourism busi-ness are trying to encourage to come here.There are many local business folk in St

Arnaud who do NOT belong to this pro-motions group, as we do not believe in the way they do things and instead have their own business related web sites that work very well to promote “The Nelson Lakes National Park” and its assets.Real tourists come from all over New Zea-land and overseas and have been for many years. They come here to enjoy and respect the Park unlike the folk Sharon talks of in her letter. Real tourists don’t come here to do wheelies or in fact bring dogs into a National Park. If Sharon seriously believes she can come to St Arnaud and not share the area with other people she needs to wake up and think about how those of us that live here feel when we have “the lo-cals” (from Nelson etc) come here.Joan Hill, St Arnaud.

We think there is a problem here. Snow falls on Monday and Tuesday, surely most St Arnaud businesses then have to figure out fairly quickly that the place will be in-undated with local tourists in the coming weekend. Simple we would have thought! On the weekend in question there was also a Ford enthusiast’s car rally making its way up to the Lake. So there we are with liter-ally hundreds of people up to enjoy the snow and a perhaps nice lunch. Well forget about the lunch, nothing was open apart from the petrol station and that amounted to a pie and make-it-yourself coffee being available. God bless them, Tophouse was open but access was limited due to snow. What the heck went wrong in the town? How about a couple of food caravans etc even from the markets to cater for the tourist? You all had plenty of time! We think it’s time the basics were looked after and only then can you guys look after the fancy canoeists, photog-raphers and hikers. The rules are the same everywhere for success, look after the locals first. Editor.

His weapon of choice is an acoustic guitar and his voice. But it’s all Roman Birch needs as his musical career begins to hit the right notes in the coun-try’s capital.The former Garin College student was heading back to Wellington last month as the Victoria University holidays conclude and to perform an-other concert as he looks to make a name for himself in the city’s music scene.Roman started his student lifestyle busking in the streets and volunteering to play at university cafes. But now, the Wakefield boy is a wanted man and has been asked to perform second on the line-up for his coming performance.Sending songs to his father to keep him updated with his progress, the singer/song-writer found himself carrying a collection of recorded pieces and nowhere to voice them. So Roman has used the acoustic tracks to form a free EP titled Hold Your Horses, hoping to get his name noticed and voice heard via his website, Bandcamp and MySpace pages.But behind the scenes, Roman is busy making contacts and performing in places he wouldn’t have had the opportunity had he not left Nel-son, along with juggling a bachelor of com-merce. “You have this awesome creative musical city that really backs what you’re doing. You’ve got this driving force behind you that’s helping you,” says Roman. “You’ve got cafes everywhere, you’ve got that whole art scene. It’s an attraction. It’s a wiser decision.”Roman says he doesn’t target a particular audi-ence. He just writes what he wants to sing. In fact, give him three words or less and he prob-ably can’t decipher one genre. “It’s like acoustic, folk, alternative, mellow… people ask what kind of genre I’m in and I can’t really tell them. I don’t really know it,” he says. “I just write what I go

with. It’s normally on an acoustic guitar anyway, so it’s pretty limited to that.”But if you are in to a “mellow evening with a nice glass of red wine,” then his relaxing charm on the guitar is definitely for you. After fronting two different Garin College rock bands finishing third twice at the Nelson Smoke-freerockquest final, Roman is pleased to be go-ing it alone, sticking to his own style. “You go to where the music goes yourself. It’s not structured. It’s a lot more freeing for me.”With the Rugby World Cup on the horizon, and one less paper this semester, Roman has big plans to perform as much as he can as tourists flock to Wellington. It’s a tough journey, but Roman is loving it. “If the doors open up then for sure i’ll go with it. I’m doing it for the love of music. I love music. I love writing music. I love the release of it.” To listen to Roman’s music visit; www.ro-manbirch.com

Vineyard manager has winning cutKris Cumpstone, vineyard manager at Te Ma-nia and Richmond Plains proved he was a cut above the rest winning the Nelson region Silver Secateurs grape vine pruning competition held last Saturday.Te Mania owner Jon Harvey says they are very proud of Kris winning the competition. “Prun-ing is at the heart of our vineyard manage-ment so it’s comforting to know that our team is working under his expert guidance. He will be able to get in plenty of practise to keep him warm on these frosty mornings.”Kris says points were awarded for technique, quality of work and speed. “I was’nt the fast-est but scored highest overall, winning on the quality of work done.”

“The key to good vineyard management is bal-ance”, says Richmond Plains owner Lars Jensen. “Kris prunes our vines so that they produce just the right amount and quality of fruit to make great wine. In an organic vineyard like ours we look for balance by working with nature.”Kris will fly to Auckland to compete in the na-tional Silver Secateurs competition at the Bra-gatto national grape grower’s conference in late August. He will be competing against regional winners from all over New Zealand for the honours and prizes.For winning the Nelson competition Kris re-ceived a Bahco grape vine pruning equipment prize package courtesy of Fruitfed Supplies to use at the nationals.

Top Speed and Performance, it’s what every auto enthusiast wants and needs, no mat-ter what they drive or ride. The Top Speed and Performance story started in 1970 when Phil Stanley installed one of only six Vane Dynos in his tuning shop in Christch-urch, giving him the edge on the other tun-ing shops in his quest for more power and performance. Phil was heavily involved in drag and speedway racing and his original clientele were mostly American V8 owners. The thirst for power soon took Phil to a new level, Turbocharging,and opening New Zea-land’s first turbo shop. Here he helped de-velop the first computer control systems for car engines. This early involvement means he understands their workings and impor-tance and can advise you on the best value for money when buying your engine control system.Top Speed and Performance is the only place in Nelson where Dyno tuning is available on-site, catering for most types of engine management systems as well as carbureted

engines. Having your vehicle tuned on a dyno is the best way to get maximum per-formance from the modifications you have carried out, whether they be basic modifica-tions or all out race cars. Dyno tuning should be at the top of any car enthusiasts to do list.With a full engineering shop plus stainless steel and alloy welding, Top Speed can build the best in custom parts for your project and to keep your vehicle at the top of its game Top Speed offer full repair and race main-tenance programs in their workshop or at the track. With over 35 years of experience in turbo charging, tuning and building race cars Top Speed has the expertise and experi-ence, backed by the best equipment to cus-tom build turbos for any application - race, street or diesel towing vehicles. Phil is joined by Brett Steven, a respected mechanic and racecar driver in Nelsons first real perfor-mance shop.

A two storeyed 11 room house was built on two and a half acre site in 1880 by Joseph George Harkness.The dwelling was built on the corner of Waverley St and Wensley Rd, if you travel through the Oxford St roundabout and exit in to Wensley Rd and on past Dorset St just as the road gains elevation and moves left at number 16 Waverley is about where the driveway swept across the breadth of the section. The driveway proceeded higher on the section and exited at about number 18 or 20 Waverley St.Initially as stated the building was a private dwelling. There were some early changes of ownership and continued use as a dwelling until 1919 when Dr.H

(Hubert) O Washbourn took ownership and commenced Hillcrest Hospital with Surgical procedures upstairs and Maternity down stairs.As can be seen from the photo it was a fine looking building with it’s’ verandas to where patients could be wheeled in their beds out in to the “sunny Richmond” days.As a hospital it operated until 1956 with varying numbers of staff on a rostered basis, this was the experience that Beverley Hodgkinson (nee Balsom) conveys from having nursed there and for her as for others it was a live in situation. Nurse numbers would vary between 10 to 15 over a 12 month period, night duty of of two weeks during roster periods was worked. Beverley currently lives in Mt Heslington and her working days were when Matron Janet Leslie became the owner in 1947 and it was at this time when a lease to the Nelson

Hospital Board was in place, this would have been the period 1959 to 1964.There were the Kidd sisters who owned and operated the hospital between 1927 and 1947.Dr. Washbourn was recognised very profoundly for his duty of care as a very able practitioner his devotion to his patients was beyond reproach. During his limited time in the roll he had need to treat such as polio, infantile paralysis as it was called then. Known to have been one of the more clever doctors to ply his services here he had people coming from all over New Zealand to receive treatment from him. No matter time of night he was called

he would respond to the call. Seemingly he caught during one of his night calls he caught a chill which is said to have lead to his untimely death at age 41.There were several well remembered Doctors who gave much time and dedication to the hospital, Dr William Currie

arrived after the untimely early death of Dr Washbourn in 1927.Immediately in front of the hospital on the lower side and fronting Dorset St was a dwelling house out of which doctors worked a reception practice and that dwelling is still there today at number 7. From memory it had direct foot access to the hospital above.It was from here that three Doctors became well known and connected with the hospital during the 1940’s through to respective departures either by way of retirement or to other districts.The three doctors were Dr Leo Hannah, Bill Paterson and

John Shearer and shortly in a separate article I will detail how the three joined together in partnership to establish the

Cambridge St Medical Centre.Matron Kidd one of the two sisters referred to wanted the best standard of crockery and the like to the extent that they arranged for stocks of Royal Doulton with the “Hillcrest” name printed on, this was during the 1930’s.Sometime in the 1940’s, 3 sets

of twins were born at the one time and special provision was made for one to be delivered in a bathroom, two in the Maternity suite and three in Theatre.There was another occasion in the 1920’s when three babies were born one in the garden, one in a car and one in a bathroom, perhaps for the reason of the “mothers” not quite making it to more convivial areas for the birthings.Sewerage connections were made about 1959 and records sighted indicate Tuffnells the well known plumbing business had the contract to carry out the work from the gate on into the toilet conveyancesDuring the period 1959 through 1964 the hospital use became essentially a convalescent facility only.In 1965 the property was sold to Mrs Yellowlees and she maintained ownership until 1968 when the Gospel Lighthouse run by a Brother Cody purchased it, shortly after this the building was demolished bringing to a sad end a wonderful chapter of Nursing care for the Community.

Hillcreast Hospital in the 1800s

Peter Kearns

Dr Washbourn

Hillcreast Hospital.

Have you ever been to the top of a hill and looked down to where you started? It looked different didn’t it? Nothing changed, but from where you were standing, everything was different. Have you ever had a change of perspective that made you see things differently? I have. Ten years ago, Jesus found me. He gave me a new life, a new heart, and a new pair of eyes that saw the world from a different perspective. He gave meaning to my life, and a hope and joy that is deeply rooted in what Christians call “the Gospel”.“Gospel” is Greek for “Good News.” Here’s the good news about Jesus. He offers a new life to those who believe in his sacrifice. In order to understand the good news, we need to understand the bad news. We live in a world where there is anger, greed, lust, selfishness, and pride. A multitude of gospels are preached to us everyday, trying to address these problems. What saviours are they offering? Recently, I sat in the Richmond Mall looking around, and saw that it too was preaching a gospel. “Come here and get anything you need; clothes, food, beauty, a job, health, friends, you can even get married in the mall. We offer all you need to be happy and fulfilled.” Convenience and consumption are the gospel according to Richmond Mall, who proclaims it’s the “Centre of it all”. Am I saying that Richmond Mall is bad and you should stop going there? Not at all! It is useful, but it can never fulfill our ultimate need. Jesus is the true “Centre of it all”. He fulfills our ultimate need the way nothing and nobody else can. Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth and the life…” When we have a relationship with Jesus, we no longer need fulfillment from other things. He is our fulfillment. Everyone lives by a gospel. Everyone needs a saviour. What gospel do you live by? What saviour are you trusting?

Husband and wife score ultimate doubleIt took Ian Kaine 17 years to hit that dream hole-in-one. Then the keen golfer watched as just months later his wife did it af-ter only taking up the sport in February. Ian and Helen Kaine are both members of the Greenacres Club in Richmond. Ian began playing when he was twenty, but gave it up for several years before taking it up again about 17 years ago.Helen on the other hand may be regarded by many ardent players as something of a nov-ice and new to the game, only picking up a club and taking it seriously this year.“All I heard was talk of golf and after several years of listening to conversation about the game I decided I may as well play my-self, so I joined the club earlier this year and now I love it, it is a game of skill,” she says.When Ian achieved what most players’ dream of a hole in one, Helen was as proud of his achievement as he was.

“I was on the course at the time and saw him do it, it was won-derful, really exciting.”However, no one could have guessed that only a few months later Helen too would be cel-ebrating her very own ‘hole in one’ on the very same green.Helen says she didn’t even re-alise she had done it when last week her ball disappeared from sight. Ian who had been on the course that day saw her shot and soon realised what had happened. “I went over to have a look, I felt sure it had gone in. Mean-while I could see Helen looking around trying to find it. Sure enough when I looked in the hole there it was.”Helen says she has been told what they’ve achieved is quite unusual and that they are the first couple at the Greenacre’s to both get a hole in one.Perhaps what is more amazing and unusual is that Helen has managed within a few months of playing what her husband and others have spent years trying to achieve.

There was Premier netball aplenty at Saxton Sta-dium during the weekend as a double round was completed. Two games had been deferred from Thursday on account of a number of play-ers competing at the New Zealand U17 Tournament.Wanderers Taylors introduction to the elite grade was a preverbal baptism of fire as they felt the wroth of championship contender Richmond Wakatu. Wanderers made a strong start however they found the going tough and were beaten 33 – 75.Richmond made it two from two, when they met Stoke NBS. Richmond did not have it all their own way as Stoke’s offense was on-song and the favourite had a slender two goal lead at the major break. Coach, CindyTuripa made four po-sitional changes which paid dividends as Richmond in-creased their margin to nine. Stoke worked hard to bridge the gap in the final stanza however, Richmond took maximum points in the high scoring 70 – 58 game.Nicky Rampton did the dam-age as she converted an im-pressive 45 from 51, while Kathleen Thornalley was more productive in the sec-ond half. Waimea College came out on the right side of the ledger when they came from behind to account for Prices Phar-macy. Prices had the better start and had a six goal lead after thirty minutes.Waimea moved up a gear after the break to outscore

Prices 19 -10. Waimea had an abundance of ball with the shooters having 30 attempts compared

to Prices miserly 14. Waimea kept their composure in the final stanza, withstand-ing Prices onslaughts to win 50 – 44.Waimea’s defensive duo of Zoe Walker and Jordan Webby pulled in ten well timed intercepts between them, while wing de-

fence Ashley Laing contributed well on the out-side of the circle. Goal shoot, Megan Thomson was a great target under the post and found her

target well while mid court-ers Mackenzie Orange and Ella Marwick ensured she had quality ball.Waimea could not complete the double when they met Jacks OPD on Sunday. Jacks jumped out to a command-ing 16 – 7 lead in the first quarter. The middle two periods had one goal separating them, however it was Jacks who finished the stronger to take the game 52 – 39.It was a tidy game for Jacks after a minor blimp in their season saw them drop two games. Shooters, Leanne Cook and Chelsea Brooks found their rhythm early while Jas Walker and Anna Miles turned over a consid-erable amount of ball.Waimea’s defenders Zoe Walker and Jordan Webby again performed well, with Zoe displaying great vision to bring the ball through court. Summer Roberts was the pick of the offensive line up, particularly when she in-creased her conversion rate with her move to goal shoot.

Waimea Old Boys women’s side has pulled off an extraordinary win to reclaim its championship.Leading 13-0 at halftime, Waimea looked to have the game in the bag after controlling possession in the first half. Attacking the minor premiers, and favourites, Stoke on its home ground. But the home side, which beat Waimea three times this season, staged a classy fight back in the second half as Waimea let the pressure get to them – with three players sin binned in the half. With the advantage Stoke fought back to be just one point behind until the final few minutes when its skipper and halfback Angela Cotton scored what most thought would be the winning try, darting over from a tap penalty. But Waimea know how to win championships and stepped up big time when it counted.With time up on the clock and attacking the Stoke line with everything they had, fullback Aleisha Hart found the smallest of holes to dive through and take the lead and the game with no time left on the clock.The final whistle sparked massive

celebrations from the visiting Waimea players after a tough year. The heartbreak for Stoke was obviously, after also losing last year’s final to Waimea, 3-0.

Earlier in the game Waimea scored two tries, the first to Kelly White and the second to halfback Megan Miller-Zutshi. The win marks the clubs first championship

of the season and once again it was the girls who pulled through. Club president Duane Whiting says the girls did well to win the match.

It’s not often you see a Government Minister for the Environment en-dorsing any form of motorsport and even more intriguing when that Minister is also the Minister of ACC.The Honourable Dr Nick Smith however, has good reason to smile about the relationship with this group.Local Nelson-based NonStop Ad-venture NZ trials group, amongst other things, including training Motorcyclists of all ages and abili-ties to be better off-road riders and therefore reducing the likeli-hood of injury, also run the annual NZ Ihatove (Dreamland) Adven-ture Trial motorcycle event, a sis-ter event to the highly successful Japanese Ihatove Trial, the largest trial of its kind in the world, having been run annually there since 1977. This professional, friendly fun ride, which attracts international riders to Nelson every February, is aim-ing to now promote the introduc-tion of an electric motorcycle to the sport. NonStop has informed Nick Smith that the Japanese and New Zealand events hope to be two of the first events to have an electric machine included.Whilst electric trials motorcycles are still relatively new it’s an area that is expected to develop as time goes on and technology improves.Trials Motorcycling, which is ridden at low speeds over chal-lenging terrain, both natural and man-made, is already one of the

most environmentally friendly motorsports due to the very low noise output; use of land that is not normally suitable for grazing or cropping; minimal fuel usage and therefore limited carbon emissions (a typical trials bike has a 2 litre fuel tank which on most occasions lasts the full event). Because of the tyres soft compound, low pressure and non aggressive tread pattern trials is also well known for its soft foot-print on the land.Bikes need instant torque to climb obstacles and that is one of the characteristics of electric engines. A few of these machines have al-ready been developed and this trend is expected to grow.Many top level motorsport cham-pions use motorcycle trials to hone their technical skills, for fitness and to relax in the same way as many top sports people turn to golf. Motorcycle Trials is also one of the least expensive motorsports to access. For the majority of riders the biggest portion of your success depends on the ability of the rider rather than the machine or the size of your wallet.NonStop Adventure trials group very much welcomes the Minis-ter’s endorsement and support as they work hard to grow this form of motorcycle sport and the safety of motorcyclists throughout NZ, while promoting the enjoyment that it has to offer, rather than the fierce competitiveness of racing disciplines.

council meetingsAgendas and Minutes for Council Meetings can be viewed on Council’s website at www.tasman.govt.nz

Annual River Care meetings delayedThe huge workload associated with the ongoing aftermath of the December 2010 floods, awarding of a new rivers maintenance contract and a shortage of staff have led to Council’s decision to postpone the annual River Care meetings. It is planned that River Care groups will meet in October-November 2011, where this year’s programme and plans for the 2012/2013 year will be discussed. We will also provide an update on the flood repair programme and introduce our new contractor. The meetings will be advertised in the Nelson Mail, local weekly newspapers and on Council’s website www.tasman.govt.nzIf you have any queries about river care, please contact Rick Lowe at MWH, Ph. 03 546 0673.

Vegetation Control – Roadside Spraying in Rural AreasRegistration of Non-Spray AreasTasman District Council’s roading maintenance contractor is responsible for vegetation control within the road reserve. This includes the use of knock-down, residual and brushweed herbicides to remove vegetation growing in the roadway and around street furniture. The contractor is also responsible for control of pest plants and other noxious weeds such as gorse, fennel, hemlock, blackberry, broom, bracken, purple pampas grass and box thorn.Residents can request that their rural property frontage not be chemically sprayed and instead undertake the vegetation control themselves. On approval Council will mark the “no spray” area with red marker pegs.Rural residents who choose the “no spray” option must control the vegetation growth along their property frontage to ensure road users are not impeded and all roadside signs and markers are clearly visible. Vegetation height should not exceed 300mm. Any stormwater drainage ditches need to be kept clear of excess vegetation. At intersections vegetation must be kept well clear to ensure good sight lines for traffic using the intersection. If you wish to apply for your property to be added to the “no spray” list, please contact Robyn Scherer, Engineering Secretary, Tasman District Council, Ph. 03 543 8524 or e-mail [email protected]
