War in the Village far from over

Future stars come out to play in Richmond

Kids programme Sticky TV was in Richmond on Sat-urday to nab the area’s best singing talent.The Karaoke Cara-van was in the Sun-dial Square for the afternoon and saw young people aged 10 to 16 sing their hearts out.Brightwater girls Chelsea McMana-way, 11, and Tayla Macbeth, 10, were excited about being able to perform for the television pro-gramme.“We’re more ex-cited than nervous,” says Chelsea.“We’re really look-ing forward to it,” adds Tayla.The pair were sing-ing Katy Perry’s Firework for the programme’s pro-ducers. The karaoke com-petition is held an-nually by Sticky TV and this year to mix things up they asked for duets.Screenings of the duets competi-tion will be aired at some stage this year on the TV3 programme.

Talks have broken down be-tween the owners of Waimea Village and its residents as-sociation over a proposed 91 percent lease increase – forcing the case to arbitra-tion.To add to the misery, there are claims that a new tactic by owners Michael and Car-olyn Wright are “designed to intimidate” residents, many of whom are retired. The proposed lease increase has upset one 91 year-old resi-dent to the point of starting her own petition, which has been signed by close to 200 hundred people in the vil-lage, according to a resident.There are 171 homes in the village, based on Gladstone Rd, Richmond.But Michael says the lease must increase because his business is not making money and he has tried to work with the residents as-sociation, who he feels have

been unfair.Last December the Wrights’ issued a statement to resi-dents of the village – who own their properties and pay council rates on top of an annual lease of $960 – saying that the lease was proposed to almost double. This sparked an angry reac-tion from some residents, who vowed to fight it and say they had no way of pay-ing the added cost. The reason for the increase was mainly down to a need for Michael and Carolyn to have a “repair and mainte-nance fund”, as required by their lease. Something they have not had since buying the village five years ago. Based on their figures the fund needs to be $395,800, or two percent of the entire value of the village. They aim to raise this amount in five years, through the lease increase.

Around 50 people attended a public information evening in Tapawera last Thursday on the proposed motorsport facility to be built at Stanley Brook. The Tasman Motorsport Park is being promoted by local Nelson businessmen Gary Donaldson and Garry Adcock.The pair have applied for re-source consent for the construc-tion of the park as part of their 203-hectare Rabbit Gully prop-erty. Interested clubs would de-velop tracks and the whole park. This would include proposed accommodation, camping and recreation areas and an airstrip and would be managed by a community-based trust. Once completed the site would have a price tag of around $26 million.

However, Garry said he doubted whether the park would reach this in his lifetime. The motor-sport fanatics are seeking con-sent to run up to 200 motorsport events a year, which would in-clude two 24-hour events, along with amplified concerts.Residents' support for the con-cept of the park was shadowed with concern as promoters said they would wait until resource consents have been approved before developing management plans. Garry said there would be background noise, but activi-ties would not proceed if they breached permitted Rural 2 noise levels. Neighbour Judith Rowe ques-tioned the developers' assess-

ment of affected neighbours. "We have been cited as the clos-est neighbours at 4 kilometres away, but there are other resi-dents who live closer." Gary said the facility was not exclusive and would be open to driv-ers and riders of all ages, including boy racers and driver train-ing. "We are try-ing to help the young and give them s o m e w h e r e

else to go," he said. "You can ei-ther run with it or against it." Public submissions on the pro-posal close on February 7.

Tapawera meeting clarifies motor sport parkQUIET WEEKEND: Richmond police have reported a relatively quite weekend - so quite in fact that earlier this week the officers were carrying out road checks instead of following up on incidents from the weekend.

SAILING ACCIDENT: A 50-year old Brightwater woman swam to Boulder Bank with pelvic injuries to await rescue after a catamaran flipped in a strong gust of wind. The woman was sailing with her partner in the Nelson Harbour on Saturday when the catamaran capsized. The couple were experienced sailors but had been caught out in gusty winds. The woman was flown to Nelson Hospital but has since been discharged.

Lynne Murray.

“Only one house doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be more in the future. It’s awfully important for that one house but it would be a difficult decision. It’s cer-tainly not cut and dry.”

Pete Boyd.

“If it was my house I’d want it built back. But if it’s a rate payer’s house, they pay for the service so they should see the results.”

Rebecca Hockey.

“I’d buy a dingy. But it wouldn’t be a waste to spend that much.”

Tony Radley.

“No. It’s an absurd amount of money to spend on one house. The money would be better spent on something else.”

Hypothetically, a flood has washed away a bridge to one house. To build the bridge back it would cost $2 million. Would you re-build?

The Waimea Village Residents Association last week met with the Village owners. It is under-stood the association asked to see the books so they could see why the money they were de-manding was so high. Michael refused so the as-sociation pulled itself from any talks, forcing the dispute to arbitration.This was detailed in a letter sent by the associa-tion to residents on Monday.But Michael says he was willing to negotiate but the committee didn’t want to hear it and if it does go to arbitration it could get worse for the residents. “I was will-ing to negotiate with the committee, I had plans as regards to the maintenance fund, but they weren’t willing to discuss it. If it does go to an arbitration officer, they could decide that the maintenance fund needs to be raised in three years, putting the lease up even more.”He says the situation has arisen because of a five year agreement he signed in 2005 to only increase the lease at a rate of $5 each year. “We are not making money. Michael and Carolyn Wright, as directors of the company have been subsiding the business by the sale of properties. A recommended increase from $50 to $80 wasn’t put in place when we took over and that has ac-tually cost Waimea Village 2005 somewhere be-tween $100,000-$120,000. We made a mistake five years ago, I will admit that, but we need to put it right.”Although, he admitted he too would be unhap-py about the increase if he was a resident and it would have been a shock. To add to anxiety in the village, Michael and Car-olyn have also barred residents from any “com-mercial” activity in the Blue Herring Lounge in the village. That includes a monthly visit from a podiatrist, a fashion show hosted by several local stores and the associations’ “garage sale” which was used to fundraise for items in the in the vil-lage lounge.

One of the reason’s Michael gave for the lodge not open to commercial activity is because of “council stipulations” something that has been dismissed by Tasman District councillor Judene Edgar. “There is certainly nothing going on there that has caused council to ask for it to be stopped. A garage sale is not a commercial activ-ity; I’ve checked this with [council] staff, so he has got that wrong.”Judene has met with the residents association,

giving advice on how to best fight the proposed lease increase. She says the lat-est attempt to “bully” residents, by ban-ning some use of the lounge, is a screen.“I think the banning of commercial ac-tivity in the lounge is a diversion, what a coincidence that when they are nego-tiating the new lease increase, he decides to send this letter. I think it’s deplorable that it is designed to intimidate and I think that is what it is.

Another Richmond councillor Kit Maling says he has met Michael Wright since Waimea Week-ly printed its initial article in late December. He says he found him “difficult” and still backs the residents.“He wanted me to hear his side of the story but he didn’t want me to raise issues with him and give what I thought was the residents side of the story. Every time I did he became quite ar-gumentative actually. There was nothing he told me that made me change my view on his [pro-posed] increase.”However, another Richmond ward councillor, Zane Muffin is at odds with his colleagues, say-ing it is a business situation and not for coun-cil. “I’m not taking any sides, I want to be fair to all parties and I don’t think councillors and the mayor making comments from the sidelines are helpful. We don’t need to be involved.“Put it this way I haven’t had a single phone call about the issue. No one’s called me so… if it’s im-portant to them, they should call me,” he says.

Henley school brings in new dental initiative for studentsHenley School principal John Armstrong is hoping the new community dental clinic based at the school will help the area’s children in more ways than one.eff

The new clinic is a joint venture between Hen-ley School and the Ministry of Health.“The idea is to build a community dental facility on the site to cater for preschoolers and school aged children, not just from Henley School, but from all the contributing schools around the Waimea Plains,” says John.The main aim of the new clinic is to get parents to accompany their child when they come for an appointment.“It’s a different model of dental care altogether. In the past you used to just go by yourself.” This new project will mean a lot of the outlining dental clinics will be closing. This will make dental care in the region more efficient, because instead of having eight or nine clinics to update there will only be one state of the art facility.“The outlying schools have further to travel so it’ll probably bring about a change in how peo-ple see their children’s teeth,” says John.“When you think about it, you don’t send your kid to the doctor by themselves so that’s the ap-proach they’re trying to get.”John believes the reason the Nelson Marlbor-ough DHB is bringing about this new project is because children’s dental care and oral hygiene is declining. “If they can have the parents there they can show them exactly what needs to happen.”The new building is around 400 square metres, quite large for the Henley School site.“For us the project will tidy up the front of the school from William St, give us more of a street presence and there are proposed developments from the council with the crossing,” says John.The bulk of the work has been done over the holidays to reduce disruption and it is hoped it will be finished by March.“We really appreciate the understanding of the neighbours and how considerate the builders have been. It will be great to have a new facility in the area that will cater for the kids. The ben-efit will hopefully be in 15-20 years time when the issues with their teeth aren’t so significant,” says John.

READY FOR ACTION: Henley School prin-cipal John Armstrong lends a hand to make sure the new clinic at the school nears com-pletion as term starts back next week. The clinic is due to be finished in March and with the efficient builders John is hopeful this will happen on time. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

A day of activity will raise funds for a children’s play-ground this long weekend.The Washbourn Gardens Gala Day takes place next Monday and funds raised will go to-wards a new playground for Richmond Playcentre.The current playground is around 20 years old and under new regulations, will cost too much to maintain or repair.Teachers and parents thought it would be easier to raise funds for a new playground, which is expected to be com-pleted by the end of the term.

The gala day is held on Nel-son Anniversary Day and will feature a wide variety of crafts and gifts, along with food and cake stalls. The day kicks off at 9.30am and will run through to 2.30pm. This is the second year the gala has been held by the playcentre, and with 50 stalls available on the day there is sure to be something for eve-ryone.Now all the organisers have to worry about is the weather.

Tasman District Council is seeking feedback on a proposal to close Cres-cent St at the intersection with Wensley Rd in Richmond for safety reasons.The Crescent St approach to the inter-section with Wensley Rd is steep with a grade of approximately 1-in-5, and the pedestrian pram ramps are also steeper than ideal, making the intersection dif-ficult to use for both motorists and pe-destrians.The visibility for drivers exiting Cres-cent St on to Wensley Rd is poor and combined with a difficult start from a stopped position whilst on a steep grade supports the low vehicle numbers sur-

veyed using it. Council is considering two options for the Crescent St/Wens-ley Rd intersection. Closing off the in-tersection to all traffic movements will allow safer and improved pedestrian

access along Wensley Rd, as well as safer travel for motorists and cyclists by eliminating turning and crossing traffic.The first and preferred option is to close off the intersection of Crescent St at Wensley Rd to all vehicle movements. The second option is to allow drivers to turn into Crescent St from Wensley Rd but to prevent traffic from turning out on to Wensley Rd or cross diagonally to access Waverley St. Should you wish to discuss the pro-posed options and changes please con-tact Steve Elkington, the Transportation Projects Engineer at TDC.Submissions close on Sunday.

Intersection may close, have your say.

BERRY WORKERS: Jordan Inwood, 16, of Hope and Nicole Coates, 19, of Richmond have been working at Berrylands for the summer. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Berry farms a way of life for students

Working in the berry fields is a fun, social job in the sun over the summer, what more could a poor student want?But the past season hasn’t been the best. “It’s been a shorter season this year because we had all the damage from the rain and wind,” says worker Nicole Coates.The 19-year old says the weath-er really affected the workers and the amount of work that was able to be done. “We had a lot of days when it was raining so we couldn’t work so we were twiddling our thumbs waiting.” “The fruit would get so soft because of the weather,” adds farm handyman Jordan Inwood.The 16-year old has worked at Berrylands for three seasons.“It seems to go in sequences, every second year you know you’re going to get a good crop and this year it wasn’t a very good one. Next year it will hopefully pick up.” Nicole says a longer season would be great, as she still has another month until her course starts.“I’ve done with the pick-ing but now I’ll be working in the shop and making ice cream which will be fun.”

To make sure the workers have enough to do, their employ-ers often change what they do, sometimes every day. “One day you could be pick-ing and the next you could be washing crates or working in the shop,” says Jordan.The pair say a large number of people were employed by Ber-rylands for the picking season.“You’ve got to have people picking the raspberries, you’ve got to have people picking the boysenberries and the straw-berries, and you’ve got to have some packing in the sheds, driving motorbikes and others in the shop so it’s busy,” says Nicole.Both Jordan and Nicole agree that the berry farms are good employers of students in the area. “It’s perfect for people who have summer break, be-cause it only goes over the summer break, you don’t have to have all the commitment that you would if you were working in a retail shop,” says Nicole.“It’s not like its hard hours,” adds Jordan. “It’s about sev-

en to around lunch time for the pickers. You get the afternoon off and you normally get a cou-ple of days off.”Both agree they’ve got quite a casual job. “If you need a day off you just let them know and they’re normally sweet as about it, they’ll just have someone else to ask,” Nicole says.Both Jordan and Nicole be-lieve it’s important to have berry farms such as Berrylands around for students to work at.“At the start of the season us and all the other berry places are just full of people wanting to work because everyone’s finished school and they’re on holidays and they come and do berries,” says Jordan.But Nicole says it isn’t all hard slog. “It’s an enjoyable job, you’re not stuck in a shop, you’ve never got nothing to do and it’s out in the sun and you’re active.”

Swimming isn’t just con-sidered a fun activity these days; the skill could save your life.The Classic Hits break-fast show broadcast from the ASB Aquatic Centre last Friday to encourage people to come down and swim 200 metres. “This is the new benchmark for everyone in New Zea-land,” says breakfast host Kent Robertson. “It’s real-ly important that everyone knows this benchmark, because teaching kids to swim isn’t just fun, it’s a life skill.”The new standard has been set by Water Safety New Zealand, who want every person in the country to be able to swim 200 metres to save their life if need be.“Lots of people have come down to take on the chal-lenge,” says Kent.

New water safety bench mark


FarmSafe always responds well to a challenge. The challenge in 2011 is clearly on quad bike safety and safety using other farm machinery.“Quad bike injuries far too frequently recently and the message from the Department of Labour is that we need to do something about it” says Chris Clark, FarmSafe Regional Coordinator and tutor.To help with the problem FarmSafe are running Quad bike training and assessment sessions across the Nelson, Buller, Golden Bay and Marlborough regions. In addition to this they are running other Farm Vehicle safety training and assessment. These practical workshops are conducted on farms throughout the regions and the Chris Clark will tailor the workshop to the needs of farms that have a large number of staff.“ We like to focus on the terrain and other issues specific to the work environment” says Chris.FarmSafe have a proven track record in providing quality training and assessment and this is reflected in the 60,000 people who have attending the FarmSafe organised training workshops since 2002.To get further details on the frequency and cost of the workshops contact Chris Clark on 5442998 or by email [email protected]

Baden Biggs has been involved in the Nelson Vintage Engine and Machinery Club for around 30 years.The club is holding its annual Any Old Iron Vintage Machinery Show at Higgins Park this Saturday and Sunday.The Brightwater man started collecting old tractors in the early 1980s. He now has 10. “It’s one of those hobbies that grow,” he says.Baden has enjoyed his time in the club and has had a few stints as president.“I was involved in getting the big shed at Pi-geon Valley when we shifted out there. The club when I first joined didn’t really have a home. There were members but everyone sort of worked from home.”The club then moved to Pigeon Valley in the early 1980s.“As far as the club’s concerned, that’s grown over the years. Membership has been up and down a bit, but the big problem we’ve got is trying to get younger members. Most of us that are in it now are like the machinery, we’re get-ting old.”Baden says it’s always interesting to see what turns up with different members.“Funnily enough with New Zealand being a fair way away from everywhere, if there’s a real rare piece of machinery you’ll usually find one here.”The rare pieces tend to be tucked away in some-one’s backyard. “That’s how they’re usually

found, just parked in the backyard probably amongst the blackberries. Then all of a sudden it comes out of the blackberries and it comes to life again.”Baden says it takes a bit of work to restore an old piece of machinery. “It can get quite costly. The older they get the harder it is to get parts. The dealers know that parts are hard to get and a lot of it is out of pro-duction now.”Sometimes the members have to use a bit of kiwi ingenuity by making parts.“It’s just amazing what can be found around the country at the back of old garages, some dealers still do that sort of thing.”Baden encourages people who think they might have something in their backyard to come along to the show and talk to someone at the club about it.“A lot of people think it needs to be restored and all shiny but it doesn’t and the general public like to see something that has just come out of the blackberry bush and then maybe next year, or sometimes two or three years later, they may recognise the same thing when it’s restored.“It is quite a thrill when you get something that’s been lying around for years, do it all up and put the crank handle in the front and it actu-ally goes. You do get quite a kick out of it.”- The Any Old Iron Vintage Machinery Show takes place at Higgins Park on Pigeon Valley Rd, Wakefield. Adults are $5 and school aged children free. Gates open at 9am and close at 4pm both days.

Jigsaw Preschool, on the corner of William and Edward St in Richmond, caters from infants all the way through to five year olds.Owner and operator Trish Ireland has worked in the early childhood industry for the past 22 years and is excited about her new venture.

She says the preschool has four different rooms so the children are able to be separated depending on their age and their developmental stage. “Older children have different to younger children. The separate age appropriate rooms work well for all the children,” she says.

The preschool follows the New Zealand

early childhood curriculum Te Whariki and the programme is based on the children’s interests, so that they drive the programme.Being an all in one centre provides a smooth transition for the children according to Trish. “Having settled the children in prior to starting, the staff know them before they arrive and they are familiar with the environment. We do the transitioning between the rooms as well,” she says.Profile books are also a feature of Jigsaw Preschool. “Each child has their own profile book and that is a combination of their time here at the centre. It remains with the child, so when they leave the book goes with them, it’s their property.

“We have them at a level that the children can look at at any time, because they obviously love their book as it’s all about them. It has all their milestones in it,” says Trish.Technology also features in the new centre. “We

have put an Apple Mac in the preschool room which will be an educational computer, as it is also what the children will be using at school,” says Trish.The centre will also be doing a transition to

school programme. “We’ll be working with the children and their parents and getting the children ready for school. One of our teachers is also a primary school trained teacher so she will be co-ordinating that programme” says Trish.The outside playground at the centre features a large astro turf area so the children are able to play outside all year round.“If it rains we can be on it within half an hour. We also have a veranda which nicely shaded for hot weather. On rainy days children still have access to outdoor activities,” says Trish.Separate sleeping rooms provide a safe and quiet area for infants and toddlers to rest when they need to. All classrooms and sleep rooms are acoustically lined to minimise the level of noise.The preschool is chartered by the Ministry of Education, so all staff members are trained and qualified under early childhood regulations.The new facility is now open and taking registrations, so to enquire or to book your child in, contact the team on 541 0617.

Making the promotion even bet-ter are the five $100 mall vouchers given away each week.With only one week remaining, Da-vid says this is easily the most suc-cessful promotion he has run.“I’ve been putting receipts under the car seats and everywhere else but the car is still nearly full.” The lucky winner of the car will be able to drive it away on the day, and David says he is excited about the prospect of giving such a great prize to a shopper from the Richmond Mall.

New car to find new home by end of the month

Richmond teenager Natasha Dunn, 16, says she was shocked when she found out she had won a Suzuki scooter thanks to Con-tours Gym in Rich-mond. Contours fran-chise manager Tracy Kellett was on hand to present Natasha with her new mode of trans-port. “I hadn’t thought about having a scooter before now,” Natasha says. Tracy says the competition, which women could enter by either joining the gym or referring a friend, was instigated to en-courage more women to join the gym. In two months, over 4,000 entries were received nation-wide and four scooters were present-ed. “We’re delighted to give a scooter away to a local person. It’s perfect for a student,” says Tracy.

Richmond teen wins scooterMarriage – the most hon-oured and respected institu-tion in society, yet the most stretching and challenging to be successful at, in my book. Relationships in general are really the stuff life is made of. They help us get up in the morning and when at work give us a stable secure deal to go home to at night. They even include the wonderful blessing of kids! It can be a mixed blessing also. Even relationships such as friend-ship, family and workplace, are actually of the essence of what makes life worth liv-ing. I have, however, always thought that there is a fine line between love and hate. Relationships that turn sour churn the stomach, the emo-tions, and often impact our sense of security at a very deep level. In discussing marriage on his TV sitcom, Jerry Sein-feld tells his friend why he is not married: ‘No healthy person would want the ne-glect I have to offer’ he says. All marriages are made up

of two imperfect people who some-times neglect one another. When you are hurt it’s so easy to lash out of your feelings, rather than with wisdom. Some hurts go very deep, and this is when we must remember that for-giveness is a deci-sion, but trust is a process, when it has been torn down, it takes time to rebuild. Men and women of-ten perceive trust differently. When a woman has been hurt, her man may think an apology should immediately enable her to trust him again, move on, and not talk about it. Wow guys have you got a lot to learn! First the of-fending partner needs to ac-knowledge what they have done, and validate the others’ feelings. Then acknowledge their pain. When others trivi-alise what is hurting us, it only makes us angrier. Only when we feel validated do

our wounds begin to heal. Now the offended partner needs to make sure bitterness doesn’t creep in. ‘How can I do that’ you ask? By refusing to stay hurt any longer than is necessary. Faith in God is ac-tually a big plus at this point. It means we can invite God

to heal our broken heart, and restore our love – alongside the efforts of the offending partner. Forgiveness is mod-elled on Jesus’ final prayer on the cross “Father forgive them, then know not what they do”. All relationships take hard work, but above all they take us outside selfish-ness, to the divine power of forgiveness. Relationships like marriage bring out the very best in us, but they are oiled by the model of for-giveness seen in the Love of God spoken by Jesus, to live in forgiveness. Don’t get bit-ter, forgive and get better.

Steve Thomas really didn’t want to smash up his car.But the Richmond man will be counting his lucky stars this week after winning the demoli-tion derby at the Nelson Speed-way on Saturday night.Steve says he wasn’t too keen to enter his Mazda MPV in the annual event but after his “old man” gave him a monetary incentive to get it off his front lawn he decided to give it a go. “It was quite exciting, especial-ly to get to the top six,” Steve says.The van was prepared well, with a good battery this time.“I found out the hard way how important that is. At my first derby my dad put in a bad one after I’d asked him to put a de-cent one in. That cost me my first derby.”This time Steve made sure the

object giving his car juice was good quality so he was confi-dent he would do well, espe-cially after he found out about the change in format.“But after I handed back the chequered flag it died, but now that its cooled off it’s as good as gold,” Steve says.With only one demolition der-by under his belt before Satur-day’s event Steve was hoping he’d get lucky. “My old man has won one before though. Normally I do stockcar racing but I’ll be on the lookout for another derby in the future.”Being a stockcar driver certain-ly helped Steve when it came to competing in the demolition derby. “But it [the derby win] was my first chequered flag on my home track after three sea-sons of stockcars. I’ve had an especially bad season with the stockcar so hopefully that will change now,” Steve says.

With the demolition derby tak-ing on a new format this year, president of the Nelson Speed-way Club Kris Carpenter says the action on Saturday night was great.“We used to go to the last car standing but now it’s through to the top six and then the cars left grid up and then sprint to the finish.”The totalled cars are left on the track, so the sprint involves a bit of dodging. “It just speeds things up a bit, because some-times you’d be down to the last two and they’d be on opposite sides of the track.”Kris says the whole evening went really well.“The crowd was bigger than normal, certainly more than we expected.”This would put the speedway crowd in good spirits ahead of the New Zealand title race tak-ing place this weekend.

Skating into Richmond for tourThe Richmond seg-ment of the Tasman Skatepark Tour saw close to 100 entrants in three different categories. Skaters, BMXers and those preferring scoot-ers brought their wheels, and a bit of bravery, to the Rich-mond skatepark on Saturday.A large contingent from Nelson made the trek to Rich-mond to compete, especially in the BMX section.The tour had already visited places such as Tapawera and Brightwater so over the weekend it was Richmond’s turn to see the carnage. There weren’t any tears, as all those en-tering were made of tough stuff and were after the top prize, a deck or voucher from Cheapskates.

Schools are back next week which means there will be more children out and about, especially in the mornings and afternoons.

Schools are back…

Drivers – school bus incidents can happen on both high and low speed roads. However, the faster your vehicle is travelling, the more likely it is that a child will be killed if they are hit. 75% of fatalities around New Zealand from school bus incidents occur on roads with a 100km/h speed limit. If cars were to keep to the 20 km/h speed limit there would be fewer incidents, fewer injuries and fewer deaths.

Parents – when dropping off or collecting your child from the school bus, try to do it so that you are on the same side as the bus. This will cut out the need for your child to cross the road. Park your car well away from the bus stop or other children so you don’t block drivers, children’s or the bus driver’s visibility. Get out of your car and meet your child or walk with them to the designated bus stop.

Students – wait at the nominated bus stop area and stand well back from the road edge. Bus stops have usually been chosen as a safer place to stop. After you have got off the bus wait as far away from the road edge as possible, until the bus has moved away. If you need to cross the road, wait until the bus has driven off and you can see clearly up and down the road.

Thank you.

School crossingsPedestrian crossings are places where pedestrians should be able to cross the road in safety. Drivers need to slow down as they approach them and be prepared to stop. Students and families will also be reminded of the importance of using the correct place to safely cross the road outside the school.

To remind drivers about the need to be extra careful around schools there will be a herd of zebras visiting school pedestrian crossings. These zebras made their debut last year and will again be out and about in force this February.

So watch out for kids, and watch out for zebras!

20 km/h past a stationary school busRemember – the speed limit for passing a stationary school bus when children are getting on and off is 20 km per hour. This speed limit applies no matter which direction you are travelling in.

Waimea Old Boys have scored one of the hottest prospects in New Zea-land rugby.Former Nelson College student James Lowe, 18, has committed to the club he played for as child for the coming season after a stellar Press Cup campaign.The blockbusting outside back over-came juvenile arthritis, which near-ly ended his career before it started, to be a regular for Nelson Bays age grade representative sides, star for New Zealand Secondary Schools against their Australian counterparts and earn a contract with the Tasman Rugby Union.With a number of clubs eager for James’ services, his decision came down to four reasons; playing for his childhood club, the professional attitude and plenty of game time and playing under backs coach Mark Milne, a former Nelson Bays representative. “It is a more serious club than most other clubs. I think it’s a good decision,” James says.James’ agent, Shane Drummond, was very confident of the decision and says he had also recommended Waimea due to their coaching staff and discipline. Although he has not decided which position he will play for Waimea, James is equally capa-ble at fullback and centre, and while he is also an outstanding winger, his size and skill-set would seem wast-ed out wide.James follows Billy Guyton, Kaide Whiting and Sam Prattley, who have gone on from Nelson College to play for Waimea in recent years.But the player James was looking forward to playing alongside most, New Zealand sevens player James Kamana, has since departed after

signing with South African Super 15 franchise the Lions. “But there are some others like the Comans, ‘cos they’re pretty hard pricks, so they’ll keep me in order.”Recently, James was a member of the Tasman Makos sevens team at the Pub Charity Sevens Champion-ship in Queenstown. The national tournament gave James some much needed experience before the local club and ITM Cup seasons. “Just to be playing with bigger and more physical people. It was just a good experience to know what I need to get to by the start of the season if I want to try make it in ITM Cup.”Tasman reached the shield final be-

fore losing out to Can-terbury 41-5.His name was ban-died about after his strong performances in Queenstown. But real-istically he didn’t think he was going to make the national squad due

to being such a raw talent with plen-ty more development still to come.A number of promising rugby play-ers feature prominently in the na-tional sevens setup before going on to the 15-aside game, and it is something James would not rule out targeting for next year. “I thought I was fit, then I played sevens and I realized I wasn’t fit. But I don’t reckon I’m there yet physically or fitness wise.”An ankle injury picked up in the tournament has hampered his run-ning over the past couple of weeks, so James has been hitting the gym in order to get bigger physically.With his arthritis in remission, James is ready to focus on the sea-son ahead with Waimea and once he can perform at that level then higher honours will come. “I know I can do it, I just have to do it out on the field.”
