Frustration over smashed cars Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

An increase in thefts and damage of vehicles is putting people out of pocket and frustrating locals. Leon Ward started his small business Award Movers earlier this year and was left distraught when he went out to his truck on Sun-

day morning to find it had been damaged overnight. “I came out on Sunday morning and there was glass shattered, my mirror was smashed and a couple of dents on the truck.” The truck, which was parked on the side of the road on William St had been a victim of vandals. Leon says he noticed a broken road cone across the street and

found bits of road cone in the debris around his truck so assumes someone took to the truck with the cone. “I felt a little bit pissed off and frustrated when I saw it. It’s money and time that I have to spend to fix it.” He says the damage wouldn’t warrant an insurance claim, it’s “just a pain”. Police detective senior sergeant

Craig Johnston says police have noticed an increase in theft of and from vehicles in the region, but not so much general vehicle vandalism. He says police are typically seeing older vehicles that are easier to break into being stolen. “They don’t have immobilisers and alarms, that kind of thing.” Between 10 February and 28

June, 14 Mazda Demios had been reported stolen in the Nelson area. While Craig says the increase clearly started with Demios, they are not the only vehicle being targeted. He says it’s a mixture of cars being parked on the road or in driveways and areas with more activity

Animals become part of healing Jenny Nicholson Demand for animal-assisted therapy had Fossil Creek Farm needing to employ more staff after just seven months. The farm in Brightwater opened in January this year, and it is already seeing 40 clients a week. “Instead of sitting in an office talking face-to-face, we wander the farm and interact with the animals as we talk,” says owner and therapist Jude Robb. “We have hit the right combo.” Jude has a degree in social work and a diploma in animal-assisted therapy. But, for Jude, the motivation is knowing how much animals can help people in pain. “As a child, when I was going through difficult situations, animals soothed me.”

Animals become part of healing Frustration over spate of smashed cars from PAGE 1

Eighty per cent of the animals on the farm are rescued, often from family break ups where people move off the land and are unable to keep their pets. The variety of animals on the farm gives the opportunity for different people to relate to different animals. The animals are part of the healing. Jude says they had a child with ADHD who struggled to control their behaviour. But once it was explained that they needed to be still and quiet for the animals to approach, there was a breakthrough in them managing their emotions.

“That emotional control is an achievement,” says Jude. She says that children with highly complex behaviour, even some who have been stood down from

ents are free from their devices and able to interact with the 13 different types of animals, or hunt for fossils in one of the creeks, or walk through the fruit trees. “We are like a sanctuary for people with animals and nature,” says Jude. Along with individual therapy for both adults and children, there are groups run on a ten-week cycle. Week by week, clients may choose different activities. Jude says sometimes children want to go back to the same animal each week, but as their self-esteem grows, they can often broaden out. “The hardest part is the goodbye at the end,” says Jude.

He says there have been random instances of tyre slashings and car damage across the district but says it’s not something they have noticed increasing. “Sometimes those things are completely random, we’ve got

no idea why someone would want to do that.” Craig says that if anyone notices someone acting suspiciously around vehicles, they should call 111 immediately so police can deal with it at the time. Leon took to Facebook on Sunday morning to try and find out who was responsible for the damage to his truck. “A lot of time, effort and money has gone into getting my small business off the ground. I really didn’t need added expenses,” he posted. “Any information regarding the person responsible would be greatly appreciated.”

Drunk driver refuses blood test, found over twice the legal limit Erin Bradnock

Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A drunk driver who refused to be breath tested was found to be over twice the legal alcohol limit, a court has heard. The woman, who was granted name suppression in Nelson District Court on Monday, pleaded guilty to three charges of driving with excess alcohol, driving while disqualified and refusing to accompany an officer. According to the police summary of facts, the woman was driving down Nayland Rd on June 24 at about 7:49pm. When she saw a police checkpoint ahead, she pulled her vehicle over and attempted to walk away. When police approached her, she refused to take a breath test and went on to resist arrest. It took multiple officers to restrain her into a police vehicle. In a subsequent evidential blood test, the defendant was found with 134 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milligrams of blood. For those aged 20 and over it is illegal to drive if you have more than 250 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath or more than 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The woman declined to comment to police and will have

She wasn’t the only person to appear in Nelson District Court this week for drink driving-related charges. Motueka man Danny Hanigan, Nelson man Shane Tasker and Murchison woman Joanne Elizabeth Foote also pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol. Hanigan had been driving down the Coastal Highway at about 9:15pm on July 23 when he was pulled over by police. He admitted to drinking while driving and a breath test showed he held 767 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. The truck driver was fined $1500 and was disqualified from driving for one year and one day. Shane Tasker had been driving along Queen St in Richmond when he was pulled over by police. He was found with 709 micrograms of alcohol per litre

of breath. He told police he had had three jugs of beer as well as some Woodstocks at a friend’s place before getting behind the wheel. Judge Jo Rielly described the high alcohol reading as “very concerning”. Tasker was fined $1400 as well as $130 in court costs and was disqualified from driving for one year and one day. Joanne Elizabeth Foote was driving along Fairfax St in Murchison when she was stopped for a breath test at around 5pm. She was found to have 718 mcg of alcohol per litre of breath. She admitted to police she had had half a bottle of wine as well as drinks with friends. Judge Rielly told the court this was Foote’s third offence of this kind. Foote was ordered to pay a $1000 fine, $130 in court costs and was disqualified from driving for one year and one day.

Sprig and Fern Brewery has confirmed another tavern will be opening later this year. Located on Central Park Avenue in the Berryfields area, Sprig and Fern The Meadows is currently under construction with the fit-out to start in the next few weeks. The owner and operator of the tavern will be locals Nick and Vicki Rose. Nick says they are excited to have the opportunity to be an integral part of

the community and hope the tavern will be a hub for new neighbours to meet. With an estimated 1200 homes expected to be built in ‘The Meadows’ residential and commercial development, the tavern is one of the first commercial businesses in the area. Sprig and Fern Brewery owner and master brewer, Tracy Banner, says she’s thrilled the developers were keen to have a Sprig and Fern tavern in The Meadows community, saying it’s a perfect addition to the existing family of 14 Sprig and Fern Taverns.

“Each tavern caters to their local community – going beyond being just a nice place to enjoy real craft beer and cider with your friends and family,” says Tracy. She says they are a place for neighbours to find common ground, for sports teams and charities to source support through fundraisers and sponsorship, and for the local community to socialise. There are already eight Sprig and Fern taverns in the Nelson region. Sprig and Fern The Meadows will have 19 taps of award-winning craft beer and cider.

Police seek information after fatal crash

Police are wanting to hear from anyone who saw a blue Rav4 being driven erractically last week in the moments before the car struck a truck, killing its driver. Police confirmed a person had died after a serious crash closed SH60 The Coastal Highway on Friday morning. The crash between Tasman View and Harley Rds was reported to police shortly before 9:30am. An engineer, who was on his way to a job, came across the accident shortly after it happened and was forced to turn around. “It’s a head-on between what appears to be a car and a truck.” The Coastal Highway, between Mapua Drive and Aporo Rd, was closed for some time and diversions were in place at these two intersections. To assist enquiries into the circumstances of the crash, police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen a blue Rav4 being driven erratically at around 9am in the Motueka/ State Highway 60 area. If you can help, please contact Police via 105 and quote event number P047444103.

‘Fit Facts’ puts fun on the cards Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A Wakefield mum has taken it upon herself to figure out how to get kids off their devices and back into nature – using a card game to help them learn. Michelle Maihi says the idea for ‘Fit Facts’, a treasure hunt card game, just popped into her head one day. “I have seven kids and it can get crazy in the house. I wanted something to keep them entertained and out of the house for a while, and just had a light bulb moment.” The game features a a pack of 50 cards, each with a fun fact on them and an exercise challenge. “The kids find the card, read a fact, like lobsters have blue blood, then do 25 sit-ups or run on the spot before going off to find the next one.” Michelle says that as well as the educational side of the game, it gets kids active without them feeling like they are doing exercise. “The treasure hunt aspect gets their brains excited and engaged so they are more open to learning.” Michelle has trialled the game

Photo: Jo Kent. at a primary school and kindergarten in Auckland and is now waiting for her final product to be shipped from an overseas manufacturer. “I’d love to find somewhere in New Zealand to get the cards printed, but they are made of a special material which makes them more durable outside. So,

that’s not an option just yet.” The back of each card features her children’s artwork that she has saved over the years, just to add a personal touch. “My daughter had an imaginary friend for a while so there is a drawing of her in there, along with lots of other pictures I love.” She says the beauty of the cards

is that they can be taken out anywhere and used at any given time – even on road trips. “You pack these easily, hide them around the beach or campsite, then let the kids loose while you relax for five minutes or get dinner ready.” If you want to reserve your pack, email fitfacts.nz@gmail.com

Owen River Lodge goes local to win big Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Self-confessed fly-fishing addict Felix Borenstein started Owen River Lodge as a way to turn his hobby into a business. Now that venture has been rewarded with a 2021 Qualmark New Zealand Tourism 100% Pure Visitor Experience award. Felix says fly fishing probably saved his life. In 1995 he was living in Australia, an unhappy workaholic, when he was introduced to fly fishing. After 21 trips to New Zealand’s South Island in just five years, he shifted over to Owen River to start a fishing lodge. “What started as a cheap and cheerful lodge has transformed into a luxurious fishing lodge,” Felix says. He says the last 18 months have been challenging, as historically, the lodge has just one local booking a year. So, when Covid-19 hit and the borders closed, the lodge changed to focus on the New Zealand market. Felix says the biggest differ-

Photo: Supplied. ence in New Zealand bookings is that they stay for a shorter time. North Americans made up a large part of the pre-Covid clientele, with others coming from as far away as Siberia and Wales. Felix says that most New Zealanders don’t realise that we have the best brown trout fly fishing in the world.

“Some catch the biggest brown trout of their lives when they stay with us.” But it’s not just about catching fish. Felix says it’s more about being in a beautiful place, living in the moment, and absolutely focusing on the job of watching the fly in the river. Felix says he was stunned and emotional after attend-

ing the awards and is also very grateful to live at Owen River. Despite losing 95 per cent of their market overnight when the borders closed, they opened for the 2020 to 2021 season and his team kept their jobs. “We worked our butts off to increase the lodge’s profile in New Zealand.”

Nelson Marlborough Health says it is increasingly working to improve the physical well-being of those who suffer from mental health issues. The initiative comes as a recent report shows that people with mental health and addiction issues are at significantly higher risk of dying early from physical illnesses. The DHB’s general manager mental health, addictions and disability support services, Jane Kinsey, says they are taking steps to help shift those statistics. One way is cardiac screening people on some antipsychotics so changes can be noted and earlier intervention begun. A recent report from Equally Well reveals that those with mental health issues were dying on average 10 to 15 years before the general population. It also found two thirds of these premature deaths were due to treatable and preventable physical health conditions. Jane says, because those with mental health and addiction issues can be more at risk of losing their job, employment specialists aim to work with clients to help them keep their jobs. “It is not the individual’s fault necessarily, but they have a role to play with us in management,” says Jane. She sees the prioritsation of people with serious mental health issues in the Covid-19 vaccination roll-out as a breakthrough, as it acknowledges the increased risk factors they face. The Equally Well report agrees, saying that the recognition is a significant change.

Hard times gives Shylet a thirst for knowledge Jenny Nicholson Shylet Makoni felt helpless when she had to help both her father and brother as they suffered long illnesses. She wanted to change that feeling, so she decided to go into nursing training. Shylet’s mother died when she was only 12-years-old. Ten years later, she nursed her father who died after a long illness and then cared for her younger brother who also fell ill and died after she had emigrated from Zimbabwe to New Zealand. “These experiences were a huge part of why I need to do nursing,” says Shylet. Prior to attending NMIT, she was living with her three children in Greymouth working as a support worker and coordinator for PACT, a mental health service. During this time her thirst for knowledge continued to grow and she knew she wanted to upskill. “I didn’t have a qualification. Nursing is a career and is flexible and I can move around,” she says. “And if I can get a better job, I can send money home to my family in Zimbabwe and maybe go back to visit.” It fascinates her how some diseases are preventable if we have the knowledge. She says many people in Zimbabwe still go to traditional healers. A grant from Soroptimist International of Waimea (SI Waimea) has

Shylet was the 2021 recipient of the SI Waimea Education Grant which is offered each year to a woman over the age of 25 studying at a tertiary level. SI Waimea’s Lenore Heather says Shylet was chosen from 10 applicants, three of whom were interviewed. “We look at the difference the grant will make to the candidate and their family’s lives,” she says. “We are very happy with the choice we made.”

Chorus gets into the Mako spirit “

Erin Bradnock Reporter

When I searched up the team, I saw they didn’t have something for the supporters to sing, which surprised me.

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

After surprising Tasman Rugby staff with their original Mako supporter song and chant, the Nelson Bays Harmony Chorus has been invited back to perform at Trafalgar Park this weekend. Back in May, the Nelson Bays Harmony Chorus had been competing in Christchurch. The after-party had an Aotearoa theme, so they decided to borrow Tasman Rugby supporters’ jerseys for the event. In an extra act of Top of the South patriotism, chorus member June Savage, dressed in a Mako jersey, decided it was time the rugby lads had their own chant, so she wrote one herself. “When I searched up the team, I saw they didn’t have something for the supporters to sing, which surprised me,” she says. The lyrics for ‘Kiwi’s Lead the Way’ playfully focus on Aotearoa’s sporting and public health achievements in the face of Covid-19. After a successful debut performing the song and chant, the women approached Les Edwards at the Tasman Rugby Union.

Les liked the chant so much he invited the chorus back to perform their supporter’s song, followed by the chant, at an upcoming Tasman Rugby well-being seminar.

“They performed really nicely, it was very charming,” says Les. The group of singers will now perform at Trafalgar Park this Saturday as the Mako take on

Auckland in a replay of the 2020 Premiership final. Les says the women will have a 20-minute entertainment slot to fill right before kick-off at

2:05pm. Chorus member Jenny Edwards says this weekend’s performance will be a different crowd and setting than the renowned chorus are used to. About half the chorus will be there on the day performing their original song chant as well as some surprise crowd favourites. The women hope the crowd gets into the spirit and joins in with the chant below: Ka pai Mako hear them say Ka pai Mako lead the way Fins up, so you knew Mako we are supporting you Mako we are supporting you Tickets for the Mako’s upcoming game can be found at mako. flicket.co.nz

The ballad of Tommy and Teapot Ruth Russ

In the early 1820s, iwi who occupied the Richmond area launched an attack on Te Rauparaha’s stronghold on Kapiti Island. The island was successfully defended by Te Rauparaha, and the defeated iwi returned home, perhaps expecting retaliation. It came in 1828, when Te Rauparaha sent a war party armed with muskets. The Richmond iwi, many of whom lived in the Matene Awea pā (near the present-day Appleby School) were armed with traditional Māori weapons only suitable for hand-to-hand combat. They stood no chance, and were decimated by Te Rauparaha’s warriors, who sailed their waka taua (war canoes) into the mouth of the Waimea River and attacked the pā without warning. With musket fire echoing be-

hind them, two young Māori men were among the few escapees. They made their way, likely following the river, to the Wairoa Gorge and remained here in hiding for around fifteen years, never daring to venture back to Waimea for fear of what or whom might await them. In the 1840s, William Budge began to survey the land southeast of Wakefield, and happened upon the men’s camp at the edge of the bush near Pig Valley. Budge and his company attempted to convince the men that Te Rauparaha was gone and it was safe to return. It took some convincing, but in the end the men were coaxed out. The two men’s birth names are not known, but they were dubbed ‘Tommy’ and ‘Teapot’ (some believe this to be a corrupt form of Tipou, while others suggest he received the nickname

Tommy, who lived on the banks of the Teapot Valley Stream. Photo: Supplied. because he always appeared when a teapot came to the boil). The pair found work among the European settlers, and gained a reputation for being good, trustworthy workers. Tommy worked for James and John Kerr on the farm opposite St Michael’s

He apparently accepted this responsibility with such enthusiasm that he would swing an axe in the air over his head and graphically describe what he would do to anyone who came along, frightening the girls. This doesn’t seem to have had a lasting impact on them, however. When the eldest moved into town and had Tommy to visit, he could not say goodbye, but would burst into tears and run away. Tommy lived in a whare built on a mānuka-covered terrace on the south bank of Badman’s Creek, which is now known as Teapot Valley Stream. It leads one to wonder whether Teapot lived here with Tommy, and thus why Teapot Valley is so Property Management Ltd | MREINZ named?

Just a thought.... Paul Milson

Brightwater Church In a previous article, I talked about how my son gets great joy out of correcting me when I get the lyrics wrong when I’m singing around the home. And to be fair, he gets plenty of opportunity to do this! Mistaking the lyrics of a song means that I thought the words were ‘x’ but they are actually ‘y’. This also happens with Christianity – not in mistaking the lyrics, but people misunderstanding what Christianity is all about. There’s a whole list of things that could be included in this list, but today I want to address a common misunderstanding. This is best represented by a comment made by famous broadcaster Paul Holmes, in an interview a few weeks before he died. He was reflecting on his life, and anxiously said, “I hope the Lord decides that I’m on the right side of the ledger”. What he meant by this, is that he hoped that he’d done more good things than bad things, and therefore be accepted by God in the afterlife. This point of view might get articulated as follows: “If there is a God, I’ll be ok because I’m generally a good person. I’m not Hitler. I’m not a pedophile.” This is a common understanding, but not a biblical or Christian one. Most people I know are good people, nicer than me, and certainly much nicer than people we would consider as ‘bad people’. However, it’s not how well that we compare with others that counts – it’s how well we compare with God. This is a problem, because the Bible teaches that God is morally pure, and ‘there is no evil in

him’. And even the nicest person I know compares miserably against a morally perfect God. The good news of Jesus is that he lived a perfect life on our behalf, took the punishment for our failings on the cross, and offers us peace with God based on HIS goodness, not ours. Essentially, this means admitting that we are not good enough to be with God, and placing our faith and trust in the one who is – Jesus. If this piques your curiosity, chat to your Christian friend about it.

Children at Richmond Preschool loved playing in the snow Talleys dropped in their playground on a recent Thursday. James Sibley, 5, (pictured with Taylor Gale, 4) said it was “so fun”. “We made a snowman and it was really cold.” Kylo Burt also liked having a snow fight with centre manager Stacey Gallagher.

An outstanding effort at the World Vision 40 Hour Famine by a group of Waimea Intermediate students has landed them a South Island award. The students promoted the event and organised a casual clothing day as well as making and selling cupcakes, all raising money to help protect

children in sub-Saharan Africa from famine. Teacher Lucy Pritchard says she is proud of the five girls who rallied around to raise more than $5,200 for the charity. “When a representative from World Vision came to assembly last week, they called the girls up on stage to present them with a framed award. It was a total surprise to everyone – even the teachers.” Bonnie Hughes, a Year 7 stu-

dent, says she initially set up the group. “I love leadership and helping people.” She chose to give up furniture for 40 hours and slept on the floor. “It was hard at times because after a while you just want to sit somewhere comfy.” She says that winning the award was totally unexpected. “It was pretty cool to get called up on stage. We only got involved to help people,

not win awards.” Lucy says the girls went above and beyond. “It’s not easy organising something on this scale, but Bonnie made sure that whatever they said they would do actually happened.” She says that Bonnie has her heart set on becoming Prime Minister one day. “I told her to remember me when she is running the country,” says Lucy. “It’s entirely possible.”

Sit back & relax... It’s one of life’s simple pleasures.

Found land leads to food forest Jo Kent

The surprise discovery of some disused land that is owned by Wakefield Playcentre has prompted parents to plant an edible food forest. Julie Nevin, who is leading the project, says she stumbled across the title and boundary when she started researching where they could put the plants. “I noticed there was a large area owned by us but used by the whole community just on the other side of our fence.” She says the land is a grassy area which is well-maintained by the Tasman Dis-

trict Council and is adjacent to the Faulkner Bush scenic reserve. “This was a whole piece of land on our title that we could do something with and make a community resource.” She says they got support from the council and the community has rallied around to make their idea become a reality. The plan is to create an edible garden and get the children involved in that process. Julie says it’s an educational opportunity for the children now and in the future. “It’s also a food resource the whole community will benefit from.”

The first planting took place last week with more than 15 kids from Wakefield School taking part. “We invited our playcentre graduates back to plant a tree,” Julie says. “It keeps a connection between the children and the playcentre and they can say it’s their tree and watch it thrive in the future.” Bunnings and a local nursery donated fruit trees, including citrus, apple, pear, nectarine, peach, apricot and feijoa. “We hope that, each year, a new batch of graduates will come back to plant a tree and help turn the food forest into something incredible.”

Toy Library donation boosts collection Jo Kent A generous donation to the Wakefield Toy Library has given the community organisation a much-needed boost to its collection. Wendy Pearson, a sales consultant for Tall Poppy, says it was a personal choice to give the toy library financial assistance. She has an office in the village and has lived in Wakefield since 2007. Toy library volunteer Anna Boswell says there is a run-on effect from the donation. “Wendy is supporting us, and we are supporting local businesses by Harper Hollands enjoying the Wakefield buying toys from them.” With a range of toys for Toy Library.

ages one to 10, the toy library is a place where families can connect and offer a variety of different things to their children. “Being able to borrow rather than buy also reduces how many unwanted toys end up in landfill each year,” Anna says. The initial $500 has helped the library add to its stock. “The best part is you don’t pay each time for the toys you hire,” Anna says. There is a one-off membership fee of $80 a year or $40 if you want to volunteer on the committee. “Getting a financial boost like this means we

New opportunities for children to grow Jenny Nicholson Moving out of their everyday environment gives children and youth at Bridge Valley Camp the opportunity to experiment with who they want to be according to manager Dave Fraser. Add in the activities that provide a challenge and lots of fun and it’s not surprising that nearly 80 per cent of campers return. Dave says research has shown that a week in a camp environment has as much value as two and a half terms of

a similar weekly programme. Camps run each holiday and are broken into Juniors covering the eight to eleven age group and Ultimate camp for eleven- to thirteen-yearolds. They also offer day camps for seven-year-olds twice a year. High ropes, abseiling, rock climbing, laser tag, flying fox, the luge and a pool are just some of the activities offered with age restrictions meaning some are saved for Ultimate camps. While some sponsorships are available in conjunction with Red Cross and Open Home Foundation, costs

for all participants are discounted. “We have a lot of volunteers. Without them the price would be about $685 for a child for a week,” says Dave. He says the volunteers are also role models, with their values rubbing off on the children. Mid-term leadership and self-development courses are run for 14- to 16-year-olds who are considering being leaders. The camp is a Christian organisation and presents values and bible-based truth. “It’s more here’s an opportunity if you want to engage. Here’s some ideas on how to lead self, others and care for your community,” says Dave. During the term, the facility is used by community and school groups. Dave says that while they all get a sharp deal, fees they pay cover the compliance costs of activities and this also keeps cost down for holiday campers. Bridge Valley has been running for 40 years.

Local filmmakers making dreams come true Jenny Nicholson A group meeting in Richmond once a month is making silver screen dreams come true. Since she was young, Vicki Cirne always wanted to be an extra in a movie. Then recently she had the opportunity to be part of a local film. She was dressed as a cook in a film made for the Top of the South Film Festival to be held in October this year. “I had no lines so no stress,” says Vicki. She was having her windows cleaned and heard the cleaner was involved with filmmaking and mentioned wanting to be in a film. Soon after, Vicki was offered the part. She is also fascinated by the process of filming, particularly the reshooting of scenes. “[The film] was a period piece at Isel Park and someone went past

in the background in a red car so that needed to be filmed again because there were no cars like that in 1910.” She says she loved being on stage and would do it again anytime. The film was written by Simone McGregor after a brainstorming session with a group of film club members. The group of writers, actors, producers, and others involved in film making regularly meet to collaborate on producing short films. She says if you are just starting out and want to make a film, the group can make it happen. “It was quite a collection of souls all focussed on filming, editing, acting, sound and writing,” she says. Films currently being written and produced will be entered in the Film Festival and be judged by local and international judges.

Local artists are displaying their work this weekend at the ‘How Great Thou Art Exhibition’ at Richmond Baptist Church. Run by the Richmond Family Support Trust, the expo fundraises for PACT counselling services. Emily Milson, who will be showcasing her ‘The Ginger Print’ artwork, says, “It’s a chance for me to support an essential local charity as well as putting my art out there and seeing if people like it.” Her work is based on flowers and nature and her original line drawing prints start from $15. PACT counsellor Elise Nicholls says that they offer support to children, teens and adults over a wide range of issues.

Claudia’s road to cricketing glory Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Claudia Green’s cricket career began on a homemade pitch in the Marlborough Sounds. Nine-year-old Claudia would constantly pester her uncles to play with her as the young fanatic could not get enough of the game. That enthusiasm didn’t wane over the years and Claudia’s passion has driven her to the very top. The 23-year-old Nelsonian has just been selected in the White Ferns squad for the first time for the upcoming tour of England. “It’s pretty surreal at the moment, it’s been quite overwhelming, and I feel blessed with all the support I have had.” Claudia says the reality will not sink in until she dons the uniform and walks out onto the pitch. “I am so grateful for the opportunity, to be able to head overseas with this group is really exciting.” She says it has been rewarding to share her success with her biggest

as an intermediate teacher. “The way they have allowed me to do both has been incredible.” Claudia says her students were elated with the news about their superstar teacher. “They were pretty excited, there are a few cricketers in the class

and a few more girls getting involved in the sport which is really cool.” Claudia got her first taste of international cricket back in February, claiming a five-wicket bag for a New Zealand XI against England in Queenstown.

The young seamer ripped through the Englishwomen to take 5-48 from 8.4 overs. From her earliest memories of grandad telling her off for ripping up the lawn playing backyard cricket, Claudia’s journey has always been with an eye on a silver fern. “Every young kid starting a sport has that aspiration that they are going to play for their country, but when you’re younger you don’t realise the hard work that goes into it.” The former Waimea College student says it has not always been an easy ride. “There have been those moments of self-doubt but to now be at that point is a super special feeling.” However, she is not content just with selection. “To have this happen has been awesome but I also know it’s just the beginning. Now I have a role to perform so I need to make sure if I get those opportunities in England that I contribute.” The White Ferns tour gets underway on September 2 with a T20I in Chelmsford.

Win and loss for Mako teams Peter Jones

The Tasman Mako got their 2021 season off to an almost perfect start in Tauranga on Sunday, overcoming Bay of Plenty 27-14. While the Mako missed out on a potential bonus point, they got the job done in what was expected to be a very tricky Bunnings NPC season premiership opener. Meanwhile, the Mako women were kept scoreless against the Northland Kauri, going down 27-0 in trying conditions in Motueka. In the men’s game the Mako led 13-7 at the break, scoring their first try just minutes before halftime, following two earlier Mitch Hunt penalties. Left winger Mark Telea was the initiator, breaking down the flank before in-passing to halfback Louie Chapman who in turn fed midfielder Tim O’Malley, who crossed under the posts. The home side reclaimed the lead immediately after oranges, a couple of Mako errors gifting them field position from where Sean Wainui scored, Kaleb Trask’s

SportS Harriers: Hayden Squance blitzed the field of 90 runners and walkers in the iconic Dovedale Hill race on Saturday. Starting in the last wave of runners, he made his way through the field to finish in a very fast time of 43.26 minutes. Running strongly in second place was Dan Busch, with Caleb Hill in third place. The fastest woman was Josie Wilcox, in an equally impressive time of 44.53 mins with Robyn Deane the second woman home. Tania Gardner was the fastest of the walkers, in 1.18.54 hrs, with Steve Pauling just 30secs behind her. The

11km race from the centre of the historic Wakefield village has been held annually since 1976. A number of athletes have competed in this race many times over the 45 years it has been held. Football: Nelson Suburbs is still win-less in the Southern League after losing to South City Royals on Saturday. Nelson went down 3-2 to the Dunedin side and now sits second from bottom on the points table with two losses and a draw. Goals to Hamish Cadigan and Alex Ridsdale was not enough as two first half goals had the visitors on the back foot throughout. The side will travel south again this

Tasman a 13-point lead, their staunch defence and timely input of energy from their bench players keeping the Steamers at Bay until the final whistle. Tasman’s win was based on resolute defence, coupled with clinical breakdown work, against a handy side who contested everything on the ground. Another bonus for the Mako was their lineout work, capturing all their ball and snaring several of the Bay’s throws as well. Loose trio Sione Havili Talitui, Jacob Norris and Hugh Renton were outstanding, while wingers Telea and Jim Tavatavanawai, making his debut, made ground whenever they touched the ball. MacDonald and All Blacks prop Tyrel Lomax, who was released for the match by the international management late in the piece, were strong up front, along with Pari Pari Parkinson and rookie Antonio Shalfoon. This weekend the Mako will host Auckland in its first appearance at Trafalgar Park.

Waimea pipped by Shirley Jonty Dine Waimea Combined ended its regular season in the Crusaders Schools Championship with a heart-breaking 21-17 loss to Shirley Boys this afternoon. Down 14-0 at halftime, Waimea staged a thrilling second half comeback but ultimately fell short courtesy of a late Shirley try. However, the season is not over for Waimea as they take on Rangiora in Christchurch this weekend in the bowl semi-final. “We have to forget about the result today, take what we can form it and move onto the semi-final next week.” With a strong tail wind at their backs, Shirley opened the scoring through Iveni Nasio from close range. The visitors raced out to 14-0 after Leo Nasio ran a beautiful line off Jordan Soli. Despite being on the back foot, Alex Honey, Dan Hawley and Billy Powick were all prominent for Waimea. Waimea looked to have finally got themselves on the board when Tony Sproul expertly sent Coby

Springer away only to be called back for a forward pass. Shirley struggled to get out of its own half as the wind picked up significantly. The ball eventually found its way into Springer’s hands and he went in under the posts to reduce the margin to just seven. Waimea went back-to-back as Jimmy West burst through the middle of a ruck and powered his way over the chalk, giving Honey a chance to level the scores. With Shirley camped in its own territory, Waimea opted for a shot at goal which Honey duly slotted to give his side the lead for the first time in the game. However, a superb kick off from Shirley put the visitors hot on attack and Iveni stormed his way over to reclaim the advantage with just five remaining. The Shirley prop then went from hero to villain as Shirley were shown a second yellow card giving Waimea a chance to snatch victory at the death. Unfortunately, a crooked throw saw an anticlimactic end to what was an enthralling battle.

The existing concrete and copper pipework is old, fragile and prone to breakages, so we’re replacing it with new larger PVC pipes. Waverley Street will not be closed, however for each stage of work the road will be reduced to one lane and vehicles will only be able to travel in one direction from Gladstone Road towards Wensley Road. Diversions will be in place for each stage to direct vehicles approaching from the Wensley Road end of Waverley Street, around the one-way section of road. Sections of the berm and footpath will be closed off with diversions in place for pedestrians. As work progresses, trenching and pipe laying will cross some driveways, impacting on access to properties. The contractor will notify affected residents at least a day before work starts outside their properties and vehicles may be required to park on the road temporarily.

You will need to call a registered plumber to find the problem, repair it and check that there are no other leaks, then contact us for a refund on the amount of water that has leaked.

Visit our website for more information.

We are replacing the water main and some of the connecting pipework along Waverley Street in Richmond between now and December.

COUNCIL HUI

The best way to check if there is a water leak at your home is to turn off all appliances in your house that use water, like dishwashers and washing machines and check your water meter. If the meter continues to spin, then you could have a leaking pipe somewhere on your property.

Commercial and industrial water users need to record their water use monthly, for inspection by the Council on request, in order to apply for a rebate. All applications must be made within six weeks of the most recent water invoice.

public notice

Out-of-zone enrolment applications The Richmond School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their children at Richmond School during 2022. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office. Families who wish to apply should do so in writing addressed to Tim Brenton (Principal) stating your child’s name, date of birth and current address. The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Friday 27th August 2021. The board has determined that 15 places are likely to be available for Year 1, 2 and 3 out-of-zone students. Parents of Year 1, 2 and 3 students (yet to be enrolled) who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan for the remainder of the year. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required, it will be held on Friday 3rd September 2021. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held. Tim Brenton Principal RICHMOND SCHOOL
