A vision of providing a home away from home for over 200 RSE
employees has offi-cally been realised as the Matariki Pacifica Hub
was opened in celebratory fashion on Saturday. The twilight event
provided colour, music as well as plenty of joyful noise as the
doors were thrown open for the first time, just over five months
since work began to convert the shed, which was donated to Project
Coordinator Renee Docherty by employers Birdhurst and Golden Bay
Fruit. Judging by the crowds gathered around the Foosball and Pool
Tables not to mention those making themselves comfortable on the
lounge furniture, it would appear that the time and money invested
has been greatly appreciated by its beneficiaries. Pictured: Ni-Van
RSE worker Shirly Watek prepares to enter the newly-opened Matariki
Pacifica Hub on Whakarewa Street. Now in her ninth year Shirly is
one of only two current workers still remain-ing from the first
intake of Birdhurst and Golden Bay Fruits season-al employees.More

Water only schools?Nelson Marlborough Health CEO Chris
Fleming encourages school principals and chairs to remove sugary
drinks from schools and to consider becoming a water-only school.
Mr Fleming says that while Hampden Street School and Nelson College
for Girls are leading the way, other schools in the region offered
sugary drinks for sale. Soft drinks, fruit juice and pre-pack-aged
smoothie drinks contribute to tooth decay, type-2 diabetes and
heart disease, he said.
Every year we surgically remove rotting teeth from 250 kids,
under general anaesthetic, and thats 250 children too many. We need
to walk the talk and I challenge our school leaders to do so
also.
Motorcyclist killed in crashA 42 year old male motorcyclist has
died
following a crash on Shaggery Road, in the Brooklyn Valley near
Motueka on Monday.
He was Joseph GOFFE of Tapawera.The motorcyclist and a van
travelling in the
opposite direction collided on the rural road at about 2.54pm.
The three occupants of the van were not injured in the crash.

Fishing off until AprilA heavy rain and strong wind warning
caused
the Motueka R.S.A. Fishing Club to postpone its popular
competition until the week after Easter April 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Its
the first time in the clubs 12 year history we have had to do this
, said President Linda Glew. Weve had four weather reports from
different quarters and they all predict gales and large swells.
Jetstar backs downJetstar has until April 30 to make website
changes after it signed a formal undertaking with the Commerce
Commission agreeing to stop pre-ticking boxes for travel insurance,
seat selection and check-in baggage. Consumer NZ chief executive
Sue Chetwin said It took a truly canny consumer to make their way
through a Jetstar booking without having additional charg-es appear
on the fare. A Jetstars backdown now means consumers making online
travel bookings could do so without being tripped up by
pre-selected and unwanted extra expenses. Ageing Expos back!

Street talkWhat is your opinion of the call for the government
to impose a sugar tax?
EmmaTasmanAbout time!
RodAucklandIts time to have a tax on sugar when you can buy
sugary drinks for less than water.
EvaRiwakaI think its a good idea. Anything that encourages
children to have healthier diets.
JohnLower MoutereI think it is a good idea. Obesity is a big
problem.
TIM OCONNELLSpirited discussion and best wishes on a job
well done were the order of the day as
interna-tionally-accomplished local girl Julie Fry held a launch
for her newly-released book which takes a considered look at a
topic that is somewhat polarising to many Kiwis, regardless of
where they were born or in some cases, currently reside.
Entitled 'Going Places', the book focuses on the economic
contribution that migration to and from New Zealand, and builds on
the late Sir Paul Callaghan's vision of creating a place 'where
talent wants to live'.
As well as identifying a need to update New Zealand's
immigration policies to encourage more smart, creative people born
overseas to come here and build ventures through diversity rather
than fit, the book also looks to address the value in harnessing
the talent assets of 600,000 Kiwis living offshore.
Also joining Julie at the book launch, which took place at the
Motueka Sprig and Fern, was her co-author Hayden Glass, who works
as a consultant for the Sapere Research Group based in Wellington
as well as COO for open data social enterprise Figure.NZ.
After a brief speech and overview by Julie and Hayden, the floor
was opened up to the 30-odd guests for a bit of Q & A.
Given the subject at hand and the visibility that immigration
has locally, the opportunity for discussion was seized with some
enthusiasm and 40 minutes later all present were no doubt more
enlightened on the book's objectives, while putting forward their
own ideas and concepts on the matter.
A former student of Motueka High School, Julie's work has seen
her spend time at Treasury in Wellington as well as stints overseas
including London.
These days life sees Julie and her family based in the United
States for a portion of the year, with the rest of the time spent
back in Motueka where her children attend school and maintain their
Kiwi connections.

TIM OCONNELLA divisive nauti-
cal-themed tree on Motueka Quay magi-cally emerged last week,
bringing about an interesting land-mark that has amused many but
gone down like an anchor with some local residents.
Located on a sec-tion at the corner of Old Wharf Road and the
Quay, a lone cherry tree has had its bare branches decorated with
lifejackets, buoys and a wet weather jacket along with a sign
bearing the inscription Tusnami (sic)Tree.
As of Friday, a body board had been added, along with a possibly
unsanc-tioned Tasman District Council Protected Tree notice.
However, common sense would dictate that this is no arborous
miracle. Accordingly to section owners Janet and Colin, the tree is
the product of a years worth of ban-ter with golf colleagues on
either side of the Motueka River Bridge.
After being involved in prior pranks involv-ing fishing rods,
gates and golf clubs, it seems Colins time has come to be on the
receiving end of some nonsense.
The Riwaka cou-ple had just returned from a brief holiday in
Golden Bay when they got wind of what had transpired on their
newly-acquired sec-tion, which they plan to build on in the coming
months.
The first we heard about it was when we went through our phone
messages and a friend of mine had left one saying Janet youve got a
beautiful specimen growing on your lawn, she says.
If youve lived here for long enough you realise theres a bit of
rivalry between Riwaka and Motueka- were not 100% certain but we do
know theres at least three people involved.
While the light heart-ed-tribute to natures fury has drawn
plenty of attention from those frequenting the estuary walkway, not
everyone is on the same wave-length as those who created the
motif.
Last week, a fur-ther sign was placed underneath the original
which left no doubt as to what some of the neighbours thought of
things.
To the owners of this property, this struc-ture is of the
upper-most (sic) bad taste. Have you no sense of respect for the
lives lost and injured by tsu-nami. Please remove, it reads, signed
off by the residents of Motueka Quay.
One of those who have taken umbrage over the Tsunami Trees
presence is Reg- who contacted
the Guardian last week to inform us of its exist-ence and to
offer his thoughts on the matter.
Theres people like me who go past there each day for a walk or
with their dogs- some-ones just having a bit of fun but its not a
very nice way to go about it, he says.
Were probably going to be alright where we are (with tsu-namis),
but theres oth-
ers who havent been so lucky and I think its just a bit
insensitive.
The man who for-merly owned the sec-tion on which the tree
stands, Bell Keast, sees the humorous side of things as he views it
from his prop-erty next door.
I think its quite funny, but I guess we are all different, he
reasons.
Moral outrage aside, Janet says the tree will be staying put for
a few more weeks at least as they navigate the Consent process and
with the tree under-stood to be planted to a depth of 1m, they are
quite happy to wait until the plumber gets the thumbs up to start
dig-ging. As for the future of the tree, the likely scenario is
that Keast will inherit the timber sans props and dec-orations- for
his own crafty purposes.
When we finally dig it out well give it to him- he does a bit of
woodturning and cher-ry tree timber is very good for that.

localfolkLinda Glew
JANE WELLSThank you but no thank you! has been Linda
Glews response to the four job offers shes had since her
retirement a couple of weeks ago.
For 37 years Linda has been a social worker. For the first 15
years as a Probation Officer she worked in prisons, was a member of
a multi disciplinary drugs team and worked with young offenders on
projects which involved tinkering with cars. Eventually she
co-managed one of the biggest Probation teams in Cheshire,
England.
When she looked towards New Zealand as a place to live and work,
she was quickly assured that thered be a job for her whenever she
arrived. She arrived in early 1996 and spent three years working in
South Auckland - at Mangere, Otahuhu and Otara Corrections
offices.
It was always a privilege to be working in the multi-ethnic
community she said It was a melting pot of nationalities. It was a
rich learning curve for me, very challenging and incredibly
stimulating. I loved it!
It sounds strange but my work has always been a creative outlet
for me. I wanted to step into the world of offenders and their
families and work with them to achieve their potential. I had to
think outside the square! Like me when I was their age the young
ones always pushed the boundaries. I had some adventurous times
with many of them given their lack of success in their chosen
careers of crime!
Linda and her partner moved to Motueka and, after 20 years Linda
left her vocation with Corrections, as there was no transfer to the
Nelson office.
She studied at Massey part time for four years to re-train and
develop clinical skills in her social worker role.
She took a leap of faith and became self employed as a
Professional Supervisor, trainer, facilitator and community
educator in the Nelson region for 10 years.
She worked with people from a myriad of dif-ferent sectors in
health, social work, education and the private/business sector.
Together they explored practical and ethical best practice. People
wanted to know how they could be more effective as practitioners,
managers, leaders and communicators.
Now its time for me to step back. It feels like Ive always been
a social worker! Its delightfully exciting, I feel like my world is
going to get bigger. Im sure Ill keep learning and studying, but
Ill have more time for river and sea fishing.
Linda and her partner have recently moved into their home in a
new Motueka subdivision. She attributes her long career in the
social work field to the anchoring that her down to earth partner
of 22 years has provided.
Linda said her vocation accommodated her beliefs. Im a Quaker
with a belief in the inher-ent goodness within all people. My
principles fit with being a pacifist, and a belief in equality,
justice and fairness.
(Having left work) Im not feeling a sense of loss (yet). Ive
done my bit. This is my com-munity and I love Motueka. Its now time
for me to play!
Its time to play!
Linda, a social worker for 37 years, is look-ing forward to her
new style of life.

A childhood illness proved to be a blessing in disguise for an
ex-pat entertainer whose lifetime career in card tricks owes a debt
of gratitude to the man who first got him hooked.
Better known to his Trans-Tasman audiences as The Great Cardini,
Riwaka-born card illusion-ist David Rosemergy has created a long
sleight of hand legacy since leaving his family Tobacco and Hop
Farm in 1957 to try his luck in West Island.
A veteran magician, entertainer and actor whose repertoire
includes juggling, comedy and tap dancing with an axe on his nose
to go with his card magic, Rosemergys big claim to fame is being
the first New Zealand Magician to appear on Australian Television
just days after arriving in the country.
Like most illusionists, Rosemergy has his influ-ences that have
helped shape his act through the years. However it was a
self-taught Riwaka farmer by the name of Ken Robbie Robinson that
he credits with igniting his passion for card tricks.
Having first seen him perform at the Riwaka Hall in 1947 when
David was just 10, the friendship between the pair was solidified
when Robinson visited him during a period of conva-lescence from
asthma and a nervous condition.
Imparting some of the tricks hed picked up during his time in
the Services, the farmer not only cheered up a sick young kid but
set him on a path to a hobby that has provided six decades of
enjoyment.
Rosemergy kept in regular contact with his Mentor as his career
progressed and made sure to collaborate whenever he returned to his
old stomping ground, even in Robinsons latter years.
Hes still the greatest card magician I have ever seen- he would
have lost me in his twenties, he was so good, Rosemergy
recalls.
A hefty collection of newspaper clippings and testimonials
details a life dedicated to his art and has included television,
corporate and char-ity events and numerous stage appearances
throughout Australia.
Among his notable deeds, a casino-style seg-ment on Channel 7
Sydneys 11AM programme gave Rosemergy the chance to demonstrate his
showmanship in the company of a gambling expert and before a large
viewing audience.
He also performed for the Wallabies at a leaving function prior
to a trip across the ditch, allowing him to truly boast he has
baffled the great David Campese and brought joy to young fans
through five years of weekly performances for patients at a
Starlight Foundation Childrens Hospital.
Seventy-nine year old Rosemergy is still going strong dazzling
crowds at a weekly shopping complex appearance near his home in the
Sydney suburb of Maroubra. But despite mak-ing a name for himself
in Australia Rosemergy remains true to his roots, even when it
comes to the topic of sport.
Riwaka and Motueka will always be home to me- I will always be a
Kiwi and I will never change my passport, he says emphatically.
I never got on with a lot of those Aussie men- they think the
league players are the greatest things on the planet and they
always run rugby down in New Zealand.
Card magicians Riwaka source
Hes ace; Riwaka-born, Sydney-based entertainer David Rosemergy
AKA The Great Cardini credits his sleight of hand skills to a local
farmer who taught him while recuper-ating from illness as a
child.

buns
Good news for those wanting a healthier Easter this year the
tradi-tional hot cross bun has been given a makeover by the Heart
Foundation. The secret to these lighter buns is in the amount of
margarine used, plus less sugar and the inclusion of wholemeal
flour.

TIM OCONNELLIt has been a petrol station and a pub, now
the premises on the corner of Aranui Road and Mapua Drive is set
for a new lease of life as a Fresh Produce retailer that is looking
to harness the best of what the region can harvest.
Owner Kirsten Ammann along with partner Tim Fitzgerald, friend
'JJ' and self-described 'Facilitator of Dreams' Mike Perry have
been hard at work putting the finishing touches to the building
before it opens next week as the Mapua Country Store and has
already attracted plenty of curiosity from locals and suppliers
alike.
"It's been really cool over the last couple weeks having people
popping their head around the corner and some have even been
dropping a bit of produce into us, so it's been good to see what's
out there," says Kirsten.
"There are so many good local producers here and we want to make
use of that."
While the interior has been altered to facili-tate a
market-style layout, some aspects of the Mapua Tavern's bar
surrounds have been kept, including the,exposed brick walls and the
old bottle store chiller- a godsend for keeping pro-duce fresh.
Largely though creativity has won through in the decor and the new
premises has a country rustic feel to it with a communal table,
freshly varnished shelving and quirky tiled floors suggesting
punters will find something of interest beyond the taste and smell
of the place.
While selling locally sourced produce is the ini-tial focus of
the MCS, Kirsten is keen to expand the enterprise in due course,
making use of the various rooms in the complex with an off licence
expected to be ready by May, while regular tast-ings and cooking
classes are also planned once the doors open.
"I think it should be a good fit with what's already here, just
keeping things local instead of driving 15- 20km to pick up the
necessities," Kirsten says. The history of the location is also
something that Kirsten is keen to acknowledge, with an area of wall
space set aside to document the past with the help of her former
employees and landowners of the site, the Woollaston fam-ily.
"Phillip's brother Monty was gifted the land and he built the
garage so I've got a few photos from that, and after that changed
hands to the Vercoe's and became a Tavern I've managed to get some
information from its first tenant.
The Mapua Country Store opens on April 1.
New store sprouts at intersection
Ready to open on the former Mapua Tavern site are (L- R) Owners
Kirsten Ammann, and Tim Fitzgerald as well as integral handyman in
the refurbishment of the premises Mike Perry, standing beside his

Time called after thirteen years curating
Outgoing Motueka District Museum Curator Pauline Westall
(centre) was farewelled at a function held on Saturday at Muses
Cafe. Pictured either side of her are her replacements in the role,
Jen Calder (left) and Heather Whittaker.
TIM OCONNELLOver a decade of
service to the Motueka District Museum was gratefully
acknowl-edged at Muses Caf on Saturday as out-going Curator Pauline
Westall was given a warm send off by close to 60 friends, family,
committee and com-munity members all keen to acknowledge her
contribution to keeping history alive in our town.
After initially start-ing as Secretary Treasurer, Pauline has
been at the helm of the Museum for 13 years which has certainly
given her the time to become knowledgea-ble and efficient in
pre-paring numerous exhi-bitions or organising valuable documents
and items.
On the flip, such a period of service makes vacating the post
all the more dif-ficult.
"It certainly is sad to be leaving but I've been lucky to do
what I think is a dream job for so long," she said.
"When you look around the room and see just who has come along
today, it shows how much a role like this valued in a small
community like ours."
With Pauline's departure, the door has been left open for
someone new to take over the role of chief overseer at the
Museum.
So it was with great pleasure that Museum Chairperson Anne
Thompson was able to announce to the gathering the new Curator team
of Jen
Calder and Heather Whittaker, who will already be famil-iar to
Museum regu-lars previously as the Secretary Treasurer and
Assistant Curator/ Digitiser respectively.
While some time in the garden and some rest and relaxation with
husband John and family are the main items on the agenda for the
coming weeks, travelling around New Zealand is something that
Pauline is really looking forward to, including-naturally- a visit
to Te Papa while visiting Wellington.
However, a trip across the Rimutakas is taking highest
prior-ity, with the Wairapapa region still a part of the country
yet to be explored.
"One of the things that I really want to do is go to all the
places that I haven't seen yet- I've lived in New Zealand for 50
years as well as in the Wellington area, but never got over
there."

Motupiko dairy farmers Brian & Hannah Dineen stopped briefly
in their daily farm schedule to open their farm to some 200
students and staff for the day. Students from Nelson College for
Boys, Nelson College for Girls and Tapawera Area School came to see
and hear about poten-tial careers the dairy industry had on offer
and directions it can take you.
The Dineens have been sharemilkers on Evan and Adrienne Baigents
farm for four seasons so far and have just renewed another
three-year 50/50 share milker lease. They farm 130ha and milk about
400 cows. Brian was keen to present to the students that You have
to have an open mind about dairying. It wasnt all about early
mornings, putting cups on the endless cows. There were lots of
opportunities there if you were challenged.
I went from being a professional rugby player, to helicopter
pilot to starting off into a new career in the dairy industry.
Although the dairy industry is in a slump at present, dairy farmers
will come through it, said Brian.
A lot of dairy farmers are going to see a dairy revolution in
the years ahead and I hope to see you involved in it. Im proud of
being a dairy farmer and enjoy what I do.
Students were split into groups and migrated around each
business in 20 minute timeslots, viewing presentations on what
their individual industry did and what opportunities there were
available.
Fonterra had three speakers who came from diverse backgrounds;
two of them were from overseas, Zimbabwe and Germany. They all
spoke on how they got to where they were today and what had drawn
their career interest to working in the New Zealand dairy industry.
This personal journey hooked the students in and were further
engaged with a quiz that had teams guessing what they knew about
Fonterra.
Interesting facts were: 5% of Fonterras milk production is
consumed in New Zealand, New Zealand is the 6th largest producer of
milk in the world after India, USA and China, they even had to
guess how much water made up milk (88%), to how much water a cow
drinks per day, which is up to 120 L. Tapaweras Jordan Teague from
Year 10 was able to guess the number of Fonterra milk tankers on
the New Zealand roads at some 500 units.
The students enjoyed the Town and Country Vets tent, where they
were questioned on what subjects they thought would lead them
towards a Vets degree and the possibilities for further education
after they complete their tertiary quali-fication. All in all,
students learnt that a vets life wasnt solely based on the
perception that their arm was up a cows tail end all the time.
Another business was the Primary ITO an industry that offers a
range of programmes to help high school students take the first
step towards a primary industry career while theyre still at
school. There're lots of great reasons to join the primary industry
like job security, the end-less career options and a flexible
lifestyle. The primary sector boasts strong earning potential if
you work hard and you can move up the ranks quickly. Primary ITO
offers these programmes: Gateway, Trades Academy and Switch to
stu-dents.
The Tasman District Council, Westpac, and LIC were the other
businesses on site.
Jo Hillerby, Tapawera Area Schools Career Advisor and contact
for the Gateway and Trades Academy Programme thought that it was
great to have such a resource provided for students on a farm. The
students could see that dairy farming had many related career areas
to choose from, and the speakers willingly shared their career
pathways which gave the students some ideas for their futures.
Students given the lowdown on farming
Students from local schools were given a fantastic grounding in
what opportunities and pathways were available in the farm-ing and
agricultural sector, thanks to industry representa-tives and
Motupiko Sharemilkers Brian and Hannah Dineen, who hosted the
event.

Above: Sarah Thomas and Tish North beside the Farewell Spit
Lighthouse last September. The 12 artists who took part in the
residency will show their works at Takakas Art Bank for a month,
opening this Friday.
16 WEDNESDAY 23 MARCH 2016
Inspirational Farewell Spit art exhibition
JANE WELLSTwelve artists, chosen for their
diversity and experience spent six magical days together last
September at Farewell Spit on the biennial Golden Bay Arts Council
residency.
This Friday their joint exhibition, Under the Light, a result of
their collective experience out there, opens at the Art Bank in
Takaka. Its on for a month.
The group stayed in the Head Lighthouse Keepers house on
Farewell Spit. For everyone involved it proved a memorable
occasion. Each day the artists wan-dered at will, coming together
in the evening for a communal meal.
According to Anita Peters very little creative work was achieved
as people absorbed the atmosphere and photographed memorable scenes
for later.
Since then however the artists have had time to assimilate their
experiences and their unique works will reveal just how much the
expe-rience influenced their art.
Paying a gold coin donation youll see pottery, jewellery, large
sculptures, fibre art, wood carvings, paintings and
photography.
The group was amazed and appalled by the volumes of rubbish
encountered and collected during their forays about the spit.
In recognition of the problem the
artists have created sets of cards which they are selling with
all the proceeds going to help in the next clean up of the
Spit.
Its not the pristine environment we expected with plastic,
bottles, rubber tyres polystyrene and even two bags of oil! So we
want to con-tribute to the clean up.
Its something we can do to draw attention to this nature
reserve. Peoples carelessness is upsetting the marine life! said
one of the con-cerned artists.
As Sarah Thomas, one of the 12 participating artists puts it on
the www.farewellspitresidency web-site....
Onetahua (heaped up sand) Farewell Spit
It revealed itself to me in layers: the land itself - growing
and shifting.
the creatures that live there - in delicate balance.
human history - the trials and tribulations of living in
isolation in an unforgiving land scape.
And then the present - debris of the sinister reality of todays
polluted planet washing onto the shore.
The layers do not stand alone, they weave and meld. The
spotlight is on us as humans, and as kaitiaki.
These lands are not ours to push past their tipping point...
Dont miss this exhibition. Its open 10am until 4pm every day
except
Sundays until Anzac Day.

Its back! Better and biggerSaturday 16th AprilWhat better way to
start the April school holidays than
with a biking weekend at Kaiteriteri?
Six hours of fun!The Kaiteriteri 6 Hour, presented by Port
Nelson Ltd,
kicks things off on Saturday 16th April. Its based at the
Kaiteriteri Beach Motor Camp.
Theres a rolling start along the beach front before the serious
action starts in the Kaiteriteri Mountainbike Park proper.
For almosteveryoneThe course
utilises many of the easier tracks, so its suitable for all
riders with some basic mountain bike experience.
CategoriesThere are
mens, wom-ens and mixed teams (2-4 rid-ers per team), schools
(sec-ondary and intermediate). And for those who just dont know
when to relax and have fun theres solo !
Teams of threeIf you decide upon the team of three, your
headquar-
ters will be at Tent City in the Kaiteriteri Camping Ground. One
of your team will do a lap and this will take about 25 minutes.
Others can relax in the deck chairs until its their turn. So that
means 25 minutes on your bike and 50 relaxing. Timers will keep a
track of everyones times and everyone can do their thing with no
idea where they are in relation to everyone else. Its not too
serious, said one of the organisers Craig Skillicorn. You cant come
last!
Fashion in the park?Some teams
will want to show their prowess fashion wise and will be in
fancy dress for the occa-sion.
Its a fun event, with plen-ty of people get-ting in the spirit
of things and coming in cos-tume. Bring the family, because those
not riding can enjoy the beach, mini golf and everything else
Kaiteriteri has to offer.At left: the roll-ing start last time

When we first started we rode only 20 to 30 km but as the fitness
of our riders improved, we now usually ride 30 to 40 km, said
founder-member Peter OHalloran.
We try to alternate our rides, with one week being a hilly ride
and the following week a flat ride. Often we take the ferry across
to Rabbit Island and ride from there. Andrew Schwass who runs the

Cyclings for everyone
Mapua bikers await the Mapua ferry to return to The Appleshed
Restaurant for their Xmas party lunch.
Wednesday Easy RidersThese riders, who may number anywhere
between 6
and 14, meet at Decks Reserve behind Motuekas iSite at 9.30am (
10 after daylight saving finishes)
Its basically for people who want to get back into rid-ing, said
co-organiser Elsa Lally.
As well as our rides that are usually about 20 kilo-metres, we
learn a bit about bike maintenance, using brakes correctly,
changing gears efficiently and we visit interesting sites. Bikes
have changed markedly in the past 30 years!
Always we stop for coffee en route and sometimes we do a bit of
hill work.
We are a social group and we always have a tailend Charlie.
Elsas email is [email protected]
Thursday Cycling This group meet at Decks Reserve at 9.30 and
the
group rides between 40 and 45 kilometres on a variety of roads
and trails. Its not hard out mountain biking , said organiser, Ian
Miller, But it is moderately challenging. And we always stop at the
top of hills for a natter and a catch up.
Ian advises those who find some of the rides a little
challenging to persevere. After four rides youll feel fit-ter and
if you come regularly the benefits will sneak up on you! All comers
are most welcome A coffee stop is a must.

South School to hold their biennial Fiesta as well as a 5 and 10km
Tidal Trail Fun Run around the Estuaries and Motueka Quay. By the
looks of this group photographed at the start, Fun Run did not
equate to any drop in energy level, although one wonders how
enthusiastic they would have been by the end of the event.

Southlands Inky (Ian) Tulloch and Nelsons John McIntyre added
another New Zealand championship title to their respective
collections following todays three-hour endur-ance race win at
Hampton Downs.
Piloting the Tulloch Motorsport German built SaReNi Reiter
Camaro GT3 to the chequered flag first, the South Island pairing
delighted at adding another MotorSport New Zealand championship
award to their respective rsums.
It is a great feeling; there is noth-ing like having a New
Zealand title. Even with five Australian ones a New Zealand one is
special. It has been a long time since the last one and I am really
excited we are able
to compete at that level - Ive been very blessed and very
fortunate. said Tulloch, a four-time NZ truck champion.
Having set fastest time in qualify-ing Tulloch took the car from
the race start to the 1hr 13 minute mark before handing over to
McIntyre. Concentrating on sticking to the pre-race plan to keep
the car clean, McIntyre had a 20 minute spell late in the race
behind the safety car that altered their tactics. He finished a lap
ahead of the next placed car.
The good fortune has not con-tinued for Tulloch however, with a
crash at Teretonga Raceway in recent days leaving him critically
injured.
Win for McIntyre

TapaweraCollingwood BYE
At Cooks Reserve, Riwaka gave themselves and the home crowd the
best start to their Division Two campaign beating Takaka 31-5.
Rugby season underway in 2016
A replay of the 2015 Premier Club final and the debut of a
com-bined Murchison Tapawera side in Division Two were highlights
of the first round competition in Nelson Bays rugby, with only a
bit of rust showing after the summer break.
Kahurangis match against Wanderers was the main course of a
Trafalgar Park triple header that kicked off in twilight time at
5pm and played in exactly the opposite condi-tions that last years
final took place in- firm ground, fine weather.
Things looked good at halftime with a Pelefoti Siaki try helping
Kahurangi to a 10-5 lead. However, after the defending champions
fought back to take a commanding lead at 27-10 the task suddenly
became as challenging as it had been 12 months earlier, and two
late tries could only narrow the losing margin by the final
whistle.
The final score of 33-22 stands as a fair reflection of the
match in terms of the difference between two sides, although the
late flourish by Kahurangi offers plenty of promise for the rest of
the season.
While Kahurangi couldnt quite get the win to open their
campaign, other local teams were able to log
a victory in their respective encoun-ters.
Huia ran out 30- 6 winners over Wanderers at Brightwater, while
Riwaka handed Takaka a similar level of beating in their 31-5 in
front of a typically boisterous Cooks Reserve crowd.
Elsewhere in Division Two, the newly-combined Tapawera and
Murchison Senior team was hand-ed the furthest road trip for their
debut game, travelling all the way to Collingwood for a daunting
match up against the perennial Golden Bay heavyweights.
Despite a better second half show-ing, the visitors struggled to
rebound from a demoralising 40-5 halftime deficit, eventually
losing 45-10.
With a large portion of their squad retained from 2015,
Collingwood are on a mission to make amends for their semi-final
departure against Wanderers after a dominant sea-son. With the
Tapawera/ Murchison amalgamation reducing the number of Division
Two teams to eleven for 2016, a bye was granted to Rangers for week
one, giving the Moutere Hills players an Easter start to their
season next weekend away to Takaka.
MHS magic at TSS athletic champs
MHS athlete Sarah Fitisemanu in full flight last week.
Despite unfavour-able conditions at Saxton Field it was business
as usual for the 65 athletes from Motueka High School as they were
once agian a dominant force at last weeks Tasman Secondary Schools
Athletics Championships.This dominance was none more apparent in
the relays, where six of the eight 4 x 100m and both 4 x 400m
events were won by the black and gold singlets of
MHS. Records were harder to come by thanks to the weather,
although no one told Tess Haunch as she claimed a U19 Girls best
mark of 11.00m in the Triple Jump.Elsewhere, Culainn Stringer and
Risi Pouri-Lane took out three individual events each, while Amanda
Fitisemanus rivalry with Marlboroughs Lucy Sheat contin-ued in both
the 100m -won by Sheat- and in Amandas 400m win.

guardianthe28 WEDNESDAY 23 MARCH 2016 Sport
Numerous schools in the Motueka catchment attended the annual
Intermediate Summer Sports event at the Motueka Recreational
Grounds last Tuesday. Distance does not stop Tapawera Area School
students and staff travelling to events like this in numbers,
either as players or as umpires. Healthy age group competition
amidst intermediate age group peers is always eagerly looked
forward to. Fellow students gave that a bucket load of effort when
they met on the courts or paddock for the ultimate frizz-bee
challenge, touch and volleyball
Temperatures were hot on the day, but the 22 secondary student
referees supplied by Tapawera, coped well with the players and
controlling the games.
Bradley Meade in Year 10 regularly steps up for the opportunity
to referee. He loves the sport of touch or rugby, which he plays
himself. I have been a referee for the various Motueka Tournaments
for two years now. It is a great skill to have, says Meade.
Stephen Haunch the PE teacher addedwe have been keen to keep
this referee opportu-nity alive for our senior students as we
believe that the responsibility that our students need to display
at these events helps with their own self- confidence and
leadership skills.
