Richmond op shop facing nightly raids JO KENT The theft of donations and illegal dumping of household rubbish at one of Richmond’s largest op shops has left volunteers at breaking point. Team leader Susie Park says that every day, staff are having to

wade through mountains of ‘donations’ left by clothing bins at the Salvation Army Family Store on Queen Street. “People are leaving bin bags full of their household rubbish and soiled goods and are effectively using us as a tip.” Along with empty cans, bottles

and food scraps, staff have had to sift through soiled nappies and even broken glass. They have no way of knowing what’s inside the ‘donated’ bags until they open them. “We are volunteers who are already stretched and now we’re having to go out and do disgust-

ing, filthy work. It’s a health and safety hazard and it’s revolting to do and takes up a lot of our time and resources.” She says the reason why people are doing it is because they feel the tip prices and cost of council rubbish bags are too high. “That’s what I’ve heard, but we

are a charity and we do ask that people be a bit more considerate and respectful of others and the service we are providing.” Along with the growing amount of litter that is being left, the store is also facing overnight thefts of

Eid-ul-Fitr Celebration: Nelson Tasman’s Muslim community came together at Saxton Pavillion on Sunday to celebrate the end of Ramadan. The month-long fast during daylight hours aims to tame desires and things which may be taken for granted and encourages participants to question that which they have become accustomed to, for example, how much food you actually need to consume.

Half-price fares have been good. I put $10 on a card, and it lasts a whole week which is amazing.

I go to Nelson to work five days a week and it costs $30$40. So, I like the half-price fares.

If buses ran to Wakefield and were reliable, I might use them. Years ago, they had a 7am bus for workers to travel from Wakefield to Nelson and a lot of us travelled that way.

My kids take the bus, and it has made a huge difference for them getting about independently and it not being too expensive. I use the car for convenience.

Richmond op shop facing nightly raids FROM PAGE 1 genuine donations from the bins. “Each morning there is a sea of donations sprawled across the carpark, clothes, books, household items. Everything. All just getting left in the rain and destroyed.” Overnight, thieves are raiding the bins, stealing the high value donations and discarding the rest. “They don’t even put the discarded stuff back in the bins, so the donations get ruined and have to be thrown away.” She says it’s heart-breaking as some things are valuable, but once they’ve been strewn on the floor along with rubbish and rain, it makes them unsellable. “It’s theft. They are taking or breaking items that we could sell and that people have donated in good faith. We like to honour the

donations people give to us, so to see them end up in the trash goes against everything we stand for as a charity.” The store has been in discussions with police, who have previously told the charity that even if security cameras were installed, it’s likely nothing would be done. Instead, the Salvation Army has decided to install security lighting. However, when the Waimea Weekly approached them for comment, police Senior Sergeant Martin Tunley said that any and all information that may help police with identifying and locating offenders is always welcomed, including CCTV footage. “It’s also important to keep in mind that even if people and number plates are identifiable on CCTV, police need to do further investigation to achieve evidential sufficiency to file charges for

broad daylight. “I was working at around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon and a family turned up, their kid hopped inside the clothing bin and started

chucking bags out to the parents to steal.” He says he popped his head out of the window to ask them what they were doing, and they ran off. “We hate coming to work on Mondays because of the mess outside. It’s not the op shop’s fault. They have our total respect for dealing with this level of carnage every day.” The charity still wants to keep the clothing bins. The Salvation Army will help people who are genuinely struggling financially. “We will help people for free. If people are in any need of food parcels, clothing or any household goods, they can go to mommunity Ministries and register their need and they will be sent here with a list and can take what they want. There really is no need to steal from the bins.”

Scammers almost claim entire credit card limit

The all new

SARA HOLLYMAN

is in store now

A woman is warning others after she was nearly scammed out of her entire credit card balance by someone she thought was a relative. Valerie Schroeder’s son returned to New Zealand last year after living in the UK but work recently called him back to the UK for a three-week period. Valerie thought nothing of it when she got a text message from a UK number saying, ‘Hi mum, here’s my new number’. She began to converse with who she thought was her son, asking how the trip was going and when his gig was playing. The responses were nothing untoward, they even included ‘xx’ at the end of them, mirroring her replies. After some back-and-forwarding, Valerie told her son she would prefer to video call him but was met with ‘I’ll give you a call later, I’m just trying to sort out a problem’. Worried for her son, she asked if there was anything she could help with. The response was that he had some invoices that needed paying today but with his new number he couldn’t get his

Valerie, eager to help in anyway possible, asked what she could do to assist. The suggestion was made that the invoices could be sent to her to pay with the promise to ‘pay you back tomorrow xx’. Then the suggestion was made that she could just send him a photo of the credit card and he could save her the hassle and pay them himself. So that’s what she did. Being an international payment of a large sum, she had to call the bank to authorise the payment, thankfully in the meantime

she thought she better contact other family members to confirm her son had in fact got a new number. Before she got through to the bank, her daughter-in-law informed her that no, he did not have a new number, so instead of authorising the payment, she cancelled her card and blocked the number, saving her almost $5000. Age Concern Nelson Tasman manager Caroline Budge says scams are nothing new, but this particular wave pulls at an emotional response. “Traditionally they’ve been emails from IRD, that kind of thing, but this latest wave is somebody pretending to be a family member. It’s very believable and it makes people respond from an emotional point of view, they’re concerned and they want to help.” Caroline says anyone finding themselves in this position should take a moment to think and confirm their identity. “Email them, speak to a family member, try another form of contact to confirm it’s them. Follow your instinct, if you’re starting to have niggles, please listen to that. If it seems out of character for this person to ask for money, stop and think.”

‘Not happy’ about liquor store opposite Māpua School SARA HOLLYMAN Māpua could soon have two new liquor stores, one right across the street from Māpua School, which has been met with mixed views from the community. The Māpua community currently only has access to beer and wine through the local Four Square or Sprig + Fern. However, since April 26, two off-licence liquor applications have been lodged with Tasman District Council to open full service liquor stores. The application for a liquor licence to open a Super Liquor across the road from Māpua School was lodged on April 26. Māpua School principal Sharon Prestidge says the school board’s view is that they must oppose the application as it is not what’s best for children. “Research shows that its not good for children’s health to have liquor stores that close to the school. “For that reason we’re not happy about it going in. “It really is that simple,” Sharon says. She says Nelson Holdings Limited, who would operate the store, has given assurances about advertising. “They’re great, they’re really responsible and understanding, but we don’t think this is good for our children,” Sharon says. Local parent Amber Bonny is also against the location, citing a range of reasons. “I don’t agree with it being so close to the school.” She also raised concerns about Aranui Park and the school grounds being poorly lit at night time, potentially creating spaces for young people to congregate and drink. Some other parents said they were looking forward to having a full service liquor store in the township and were glad it is a reputable brand like Super Liquor, others said they don’t mind either way. Nelson Holdings Limited operations

Photo: Sara Hollyman. director Dave Hall says the company is a family-run business which operates five liquor stores in the region. A community engagement meeting was held at the Mapua Bowling Club on April 7 which Waimea Weekly understands became heated at times. “It was great to see so many passionate locals turn up for the evening,” Dave says. “There was a good discussion held around some concerns, many of which were misunderstandings. “For example, there was a concern raised that the proposed bottle store would be replacing the existing vegetable store. This is not the case; we are looking forward to working closely with management of the vegetable store and offering another service to the Mapua community.” He says there has been a lot of very positive feedback to the proposal, both received directly and via social media, especially around the need for a full service store in Mapua.

NOMINATIONS OPEN 2022

“Many of the Māpua community find the need to drive 15-20 minutes to either Richmond or Motueka very inconvenient”. Dave says the school’s representatives have raised some valid concerns. “We are positive we can work together with the school community to address these issues.” Health Action Trust Community Action on Youth Alcohol and other Drugs (CAYAD) programme coordinator, Marcelo Ribas, says children are greatly impacted by their surroundings. “The proposed location of a liquor store within 100 metres from school gates will create an unnecessary exposure to alcohol on a major transit route to and from school.” The second application was lodged on 3 May, for a Liquorland store at 65A Aranui Rd. Marcelo is assisting the Māpua community to make submissions which can be made by searching alcohol licensing notices on Tasman District Council’s website.

Te Uru Rākau

A local pistol club member’s home was ransacked causing thousands of dollars of damage, after thieves broke into the club searching for an attendance register. Two men broke into the Motueka Pistol Club in February 2021, stealing the attendance register, among other things, which details member’s names. Shortly after the break-in at the club, a member’s home was broken into. Both men have recently been sentenced for the club break-in, receiving home detention and paying a small monetary amount to the two local gun clubs they stole from. The Motueka club’s committee expressed relief that the matter has drawn to a close, even though it took the better part of 15 months, but were disappointed at the final outcome. “One got an initial indication of 43 months in prison and ended up with 9 months home detention. These people are just a walking crimewave, everyone was bitterly disappointed,” said a member who asked not to be named. “Full credit to the police though, they worked really hard on this.” The committee said in a statement to Waimea Weekly: “The fact that the burglary was specifically aimed at obtaining the attendance book is, however, deeply alarming, the more so since other clubs have experienced the same thing.” The committee says, part of being a certified range, is that you are affiliated with Pistol NZ, and as such, have a strict set of rules and regulations to abide by, one of which is accounting for anyone who is on site at any given time. The committee says they are aware of several other break-ins of shooting clubs where burglars were looking for membership lists, both locally and in the North Island. “One of the Government’s current aims is to have a computer-based register, not only of firearms licence holders but also of all the guns they have. “Even secure computer data bases are hacked with disturbing regularity and there is no commanding reason to think that this won’t happen to any gun registry that government compiles,” said the statement. The committee worry that any online database could become a shopping list for gang members. Since the break-in the club have changed the way they keep their attendance records.

Too early to tell if half-price fares working JENNY NICHOLSON It’s early days but figures show there hasn’t been a large overall increase in those choosing to catch the bus since the introduction of half-price fares. Half-price bus fares were introduced across the country for three months from Friday 1 April. Nelson City Council manager transport and solid waste, Marg Parfitt, says numbers for April tend to be about 7,000 fewer than March due to the impact of the Easter and Anzac holidays. She says ongoing dips in patronage from March 2022 are likely influenced by the Omicron outbreak. “However, the reduction in fare price has seemed to stabilise passenger numbers, and patronage in April 2022 is expected to be comparable to March 2022.” As of Wednesday 27 April, total bus patronage was 23,058, with around 3,000 passengers predicted for 28–30 April, bringing the approximate rider total to about 26,000. This compares to 29,317 in March this year and would

There have been a few individual days in April where passenger numbers exceeded 1400, which is notably higher than any day in March this year. “We’ll have a better picture of how fare reduction has impacted passenger numbers over the course of May and June 2022,” Marg says. Regular bus users are pleased

with half-price fares. Emma Haycock says, as a student travelling into NMIT, the reduction in fares is helpful. Nelson Tasman Climate Forum co-chair Joanna Santa Barbara would like to see more people taking the bus. “Active transport is the number one, but public transport is the number two choice with electric cars next,” Joanna says. She says there are multiple

reasons buses are more favourable than electric cars. “They reduce congestion, accidents and road maintenance, which is very costly to the council and the community,” she says. “High traffic roads like State Highway 6 divide communities. That’s very real for us in Richmond.” She says those travelling by car should be grateful for people who choose to walk, cycle, or use public transport. Joanna would like to see more done to incentivise active transport or using the bus. While she sees low bus fares as a step, she would like to see free fares. She says there are ways businesses can promote leaving the car at home, but she isn’t aware of any companies in Nelson currently doing this. “There are some companies that give their employees $5 a day if they don’t come to work in a car,” she says. “Other companies provide electric bikes that are paid off week by week with it ending up owned by the employee.” “It’s a very big deal,” says Joanna. “Having people use the bus is very important.”

Queen Street clock broken

The landmark digital clock and thermometer attached to the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board building at 281 Queen St has been taken down after it stopped working properly. A spokesperson for the building said it’s been sent away for repair and has been gone for a few weeks. “We hope they can fix it as we always use it to tell people how to find our building.”

Goodbye to Waimea Weekly’s Kay

Advertising consultant Kay Jordan has left Top South Media after 12 years of service. She enjoyed a leaving party at the Honest Lawyer last week. Owner Andrew Board says she will be missed. “Many of our advertisers will know Kay, she’s been a wonderful servant of the paper and she’ll be missed.” Meadows Early Childhood Centre The construction of the Early Childhood Centre in the Meadows Central Park is scheduled to start in June and is expected to be finished by the end of the year.

Demo plans for Richmond’s historic police station JO KENT A random act of kindness by a gardener has revealed the future plans for one of Richmond’s historic buildings. Thomas Dillon, owner of Nelson Tasman Property Service Ltd, says he noticed the garden of the villa at 23 Oxford Street was overgrown and strewn with rubbish, so decided to do something about it. “Being in the industry and seeing a place like that, you know what it has the potential to look like. “Obviously, you drive past and there is rubbish everywhere, so you just instinctively want to go and tidy it up.” However, what Thomas didn’t realise at the time was that the building was Richmond’s old police station dating back to 1860 and had, until recently, been used as a rental property. The house currently has vacant possession and is due for demolition to make way for townhouses in the future. The owner, who lives in Blenheim, was unavailable for comment at the time of going to print. The historic 961sqm site still has the original jail in the garden, which was constructed out of

The police station, a weatherboard villa, was built in 1908 and was sold in 1996 for $140,000 and turned into three flats. “The jail was then used a storage shed.

The house was subsequently sold in 2017 for $600,000 and continued as a rental property until earlier this year. “I posted on Facebook to try to track the owner down, mainly to offer up my services ongoing, but it doesn’t look like they’ll be

needing me now. I’m just glad it’s had a tidy up. “Those types of properties look so amazing when they are taken care of,” Thomas says. He says the job took him two hours and he had to first clear the garden of rubbish, including

empty bottles, cans, and even a bikini. Thomas moved to Richmond two months ago from Golden Bay and plans to transform at least one unkempt property or neglected public space each month as an act of goodwill. “I’ve just set up my company so it’s a great way of giving back to the community. “It’s a shame the Oxford Street villa is getting knocked down with it being a historic building and all, but I guess it’s happening a lot more these days.” He hopes the public will help him locate places which could use his help for free as part of his transformation project portfolio. “If you know somewhere that’s got out of control, email me. Saying that, this offer doesn’t extend to people who just want a bit of gardening done. “It’s more about public spaces, or kids’ play areas, which have been left to get overgrown and could do with a helping hand to get them back on track.” Email thomas@nelsontasmanpropertyservices.co.nz if you have any suggestions. The history of Richmond police station will be serialised in the Waimea Weekly from next week.

Olivia initiates fun and fundraiser JENNY NICHOLSON Olivia Rhodes is still at school, but she has big dreams, and they are all about helping others. Recently Waimea College students turned out in the blue and yellow colours of the Ukrainian flag as part of a fundraiser Olivia organised. After reading about the war in Ukraine, Olivia wanted to help. Initially, she thought to start a charity and send food and money to those affected by the war. She emailed the Prime Minister’s office asking if it was possible to send large food parcels to Ukraine. When she never received a response, she changed her plan to mufti day. “I knew we could send money and thought of a mufti day fundraiser. As soon as I talked to our principal Mr Haines he was on board.” When she heard about the situation in Ukraine, she thought about how it could be her and her family.

“Besides the difference in location, New Zealanders and Ukrainians are the same, just living their dayto-day life.” She says she would hope that many would come to our rescue if we found ourselves in a similar situation. This is just the start for Olivia. She is planning to follow in her father and grandfather’s footsteps and enter the military. Both were in the Airforce and Olivia says they are both biased toward her joining too. “I want to go into the Airforce or army to be in a position to help people,” Olivia says. “After the earthquakes, the defence forces helped.” She has thought of doing Search and Rescue and of the possibility of going to Ukraine after the war to help rebuild houses. They raised over $1,500 which is being sent to the Red Cross working in Ukraine.

Proudly brought to you by...

Biddy of the Buller RUTH RUSS Victorian dresses were nothing but an inconvenient, impractical nuisance to four-footnothing Bridget “Biddy” Goodwin, who wore moleskin trousers for much of her life. The enigmatic Irishwoman was born anywhere between 1803 and 1827, in a county even she could not recall in later life. The illiterate young woman left Ireland during the mass emigration of the mid-1800s and headed for the Australian goldfields. In Ballarat she met two

men, assumed a sort of command, and the three began working and living together. They arrived in New Zealand in the 1860s, and after the Collingwood goldfields produced disappointing results, they trekked inland to the Buller River. For 20 years the trio worked the river, spending hours each day up to their waists in water, and they lived in a oneroom hut near the Iron Bridge at Lyell. The two men accepted Biddy’s leadership and organisation and were known as her first and second mate. The first,

said to be her favourite, became ill in the 1880s. Biddy took him to the hospital in Quartzopolis (Reefton) where he died. Golden Bay author Gerard Hindmarsh writes that “the little woman wept sorely at losing her companion”. Her second mate, known as Old Bill, became sick a couple of years later and “just took to loafing around”, as Biddy said, so that when he died, “I wasn’t sorry a bit”. After a lifetime of immensely difficult work in the harshest of conditions, Biddy was en-

couraged to admit herself to Reefton Hospital, but she decided instead to occupy a small cottage. Her years had been spent searching for gold, often with little success, to spend on alcohol, so although she had now become a member of the Anglican church (likely because of the social services this provided), she by no means gave up the drink. When Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 1897, many ladies of the parish visited Biddy’s cottage. One brought half a bottle of port, and a second dropped off a bottle of Scotch. Once the visitors had gone home, Biddy drank the whole lot and passed out on the floor. The vicar, who happened to call by to chop some firewood for her, presumed she was dying and fetched the doctor. The doctor, after a brief examination, roared with laughter and pronounced her “deaddrunk”. The vicar declared that Biddy was to be gifted no more alcohol. Alcohol was not her only vice, and she was a pipe-smoker to the very end, keeping the pipe in her mouth from morning to night, except when the vic-

age of 86, although her age has also been given as 72 and 96. She is buried in the Reefton Cemetery.

Do they think we are all stupid? It makes no difference who owns the assets if the owner has no say about how they are managed. There is no accountability either. The co-governance model is racist and patronising and every time someone has asked who will get water royalties the issue has been very neatly sidestepped. This is not about fixing water issues. This is about control. Half of the ppl who will control these assets will be working for only 15% of the population. The other half have to work for everyone. This won’t end well. Claire Kelly

Bro it’s everywhere, I been waiting for a house here for 4 years been in caravan. Abs Wilson We all know there is a problem, and the news is great at telling us about the problem, but we never hear about a solution. Meanwhile, people are struggling and will continue to do so with more and more people homeless with all the red tape around getting into a rental. Isn’t it a human right to have a roof over our heads? Food in our bellies and to be warm? With winter coming it’s so hard. My heart goes out to everyone that is struggling. Vicky Whall There are two factors which spring to mind for me. One is a lot of the rental stock has now gone into holiday accommodation (even in towns) and the other is, I wonder if a lot of landlords have sold up

not being able or wanting to meet all the new rental regulations. Insulation, extraction etc. Karyn Brain Sadly this was predicted when the Government removed the tax brakes that the landlords had. Also, the removal of the landlords right to remove a tenant. Therefore the mum and dad landlords have got rid of their rental. Simon Jones Good luck. We need landlords so there are rental properties, but then so many bad landlords. All the regulations haven’t helped with keeping affordable rentals. Diane Chandler Unfortunately, hard to find suitable rentals anywhere these days, even more so if you have kids and/or pets. Definitely best to secure a rental prior to moving out of one or before relocating that’s for sure. Manda Wicks

Bringing a point of difference to the region's building sector Local couple Anna and Ruary O’Toole are certainly no strangers when it comes to the building industry. Bringing years of experience to the trade with their current commercial construction business, when the opportunity to purchase a complementary residential-build franchise with already-established brand, Sentinel Homes, came up in 2019 the Wakefield-based couple seized it with both hands. Anna and Ruary were impressed with the level of support and comradery offered by other franchisees and be-

came the proud owner-operators of Sentinel Homes Nelson & Marlborough. Having recently completed the build of their stunning brand-new show home on Ascot St, in Richmond, they say having an existing business in the field was a huge asset as their already-established connections gave the team an advantage. ”We did already have relationships with our suppliers under our construction company which also gave us the knowledge of being able to plan ahead to ensure the build kept moving.”

The efficient three bedroom, 178m2, home is the perfect family home, boasting a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living room, excellent for entertaining, with a scissor truss ceiling, and a skylight in the kitchen to allow natural lighting. “Our kitchen also features a floating curved end on the kitchen island which beautifully complements the dining and living area.” The stunning use of colour creates a warm and inviting space which perfectly showcases the design quality and attention to detail.

“We are very excited to finally have our show home open! It has been a longer journey than expected with Covid coming along as we started the build.

The support from our key suppliers has been great and we are very proud of the finished product.” Their strong business values

and passion for the region is evidenced by their continued support of the community and long-standing involvement in local sports teams. They are motivated by bringing a point of difference to the region and more choice for homeowners, and are excited for the opportunity to provide stunning new homes to the Top of the South.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HEAT PUMP SERVICING

hink a quick dust or vacuum of your heat pump is enough to keep it in top condition? Taking the time to regularly clean your filters can certainly help – but having a professional service every 12 months ( stated in EECA’s “Good Practice Guide” ), is the only way to ensure your heat pump remains working efficiently and reduces the chances of costly breakdowns. Heat pumps are the most cost-effective way to heat your home, according to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). Yes, even better than a wood burner. A dirty or blocked heat pump that is no longer working efficiently is like trying to burn wet wood. Studies show that blocked coils (the fins behind the filters) can reduce efficiency by up to 30%. This can affect your power bill and the lifespan of your heat pump! What about the outside unit? Well it’s just as important, local professionals Airify say. When was the last time your outside unit was serviced? Is your heat pump running low on refrigerant? Is your unit producing the correct amount of heat?

These checks all form part of a qualified Airify service.Let’s not forget about healthy air! If anyone in your household suffers from allergies, Asthma, or even the slightest respiratory illness, then it’s critical your heat pump is cleaned and serviced to remove dust or mould spores. Mould is a common issue often found after continued use as an air conditioner after long hot summer months. The Healthy Homes Standards now ensure maintenance is performed on all heating devices, including heat pumps, in all tenanted properties and tested to meet the World Health Organisations minimum heating standard. Airify says it’s important that all homes are healthy homes. A Premium heat pump clean and service includes more than 30 checks on your heat pump system – inside and outside unit – ensuring peak performance, health air and heat pump longevity. Make certain you purify your heat pump before winter. www.airifynelson.gettimely.com

RESTORE YOUR ALUMINIUM JOINERY BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY

wner of Nano-Clear Nelson, Richard Hogue, has been operating in the region for two years and says Nano-Clear is a lifesaver when it comes to aluminium joinery maintenance, specifically designed to dramatically enhance and extend the service life of ‘newly-painted’ and ‘oxidized painted’ assets by more than 10 years. Endorsed by celebrity builder Peter Wolfkamp, Nano-Clear is a permanent, clear coat protection for aluminium joinery, garage doors, fencing and guttering, and Richard says the professional application should be part of regular preventative home maintenance. “A single treatment can make a massive impact on the presentation of a home.”

“

Church embraces positives from Red Setting JENNY NICHOLSON Hope Community Church senior pastor Daryl Bay says there is a deep longing in people to be in a genuine community where they are known and loved. “Church is less about an event, and more an experience of doing life together,” Daryl says. During the Red Setting when gatherings had limits on numbers who could attend, Hope Church’s people met in 30 to 40 homes each week, with 5 to 25 in each group. Daryl says there were some real positives that came from the necessity of doing church in a different way. “Small groups meeting in homes is a more comfortable environment for some and gives a place to know others and be known,” he says. “People feel isolation deeply. It used to be people were in and out of each other’s homes but not so much in recent years.” However, the positives of meeting in small groups didn’t di-

Daryl says there was a sense of excitement and expectation leading up to the morning. “It’s like a big family that is coming together and there’s a real sense

of belonging and community,” says Daryl. “There is a groundswell of real excitement about all being together again.” Daryl says that both large gatherings and groups meeting in homes have advantages and their plan going forward incorporates both. One Sunday a month people will meet in small groups in homes. The other three or four weeks will be church all together at Ranzau Road. “In smaller clusters of households, there is a relaxed environment where you can kick off your shoes and still recognise God at work. It’s thrilling to know it’s not about the professionals doing their thing but a place where all can participate,” Daryl says. “The large gatherings have a vibrancy and, for some, a more familiar and comfortable way of expressing their faith.” Regardless of which style of service is held, there is always a group meeting at their Ranzau Road site. This ensures there is a place for visitors to be welcomed, ask questions, and meet with others.

Museum and sanctuary partner up for new display KATE RUSSELL The Nelson Provincial Museum has partnered up with the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary to create an educational display that highlights endemic species found at the sanctuary. ‘Te Tautiaki i Te Ao e Whakatinanatia ana - Conservation in Action’ is a new addition to the museum’s regional gallery and opened to the public last week. Visitors will have an opportunity to view a lifelike beech tree, taxidermy from the museum’s own collection, and a wētā hotel - right in the middle of the museum. The display also includes a video of the sanctuary’s conservation journey, and an original Taonga Pūoro soundscape composed and recorded by Bob Bickerton in the sanctuary itself. Nelson Provincial Museum chief executive, Lucinda Blackley-Jimson, says it’s an important story for them to be telling. “The museum and the sanctuary have been working together over a number of years and we’ve done joint education programmes and

hosted an artist in residence for them a few years ago, so this is just another initiative in our partnership. “We recognise the importance of protecting the unique species of our rohe and therefore, it is an honour and a privilege to collaborate with sanctuary.” She says it has been inspiring to see the project grow from an idea to an actuality. “This display is a celebration of an important community-based initiative. We are also proud that the display is fully bilingual, recognising the vital importance of iwi relationships in the conservation and protection of our endangered species.” The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary chief executive Ru Collin says the sanctuary is working closely with the museum to raise community awareness about their purpose to restore an ecosystem. “We encourage everyone to visit the sanctuary and to connect with nature. Enjoy conservation in action.” Entry is free for Nelson and Tasman residents.

Men’s team triumphant return to top league JACK MALCOLM The return of the Nelson Men’s and Mixed Netball Club to premier competition has been a long time coming. It was also a moment to remember for partners Sarah Mather and Rob Boomer, who were matched up against each other on the wing after an injury. She says it was a special moment, having met playing indoor netball many years ago. “It was fantastic to start the season against the men’s team, so good that they are back in the competition. “They bring a very different game to the league - much faster and aerial, they are very skillful and have the ability to move the ball

Mixed Netball Club captain Jared Lock says they were just happy to be out there again, beating Rich-

mond F45 77-36. “We didn’t come out with expectations to win or do well. It’s ten years since we’ve been in prems.” As an original member of the squad, he says the return was a “pretty special” moment for himself and the other four original players. Jared was a leading force behind the team’s win, with accurate shooting from deep around the arc that Richmond F45 struggled to defend. Alongside goal shoot Matt Davies, the men quickly grew a lead from the outset by utilising their pace and height. After opening the game with a goal, a forced turnover on Richmond’s first possession served as an indication of how the game would play out. The men used their pace to their

advantage, with centre Ricky Fry pushing the tempo with his quick restarts and running of the court. Richmond consistently found themselves one step behind their opponents who punished them with highly accurate passing and shooting, despite their best efforts. Jared says they were surprised at the lift in competition intensity after playing the team on Saturday in a preseason fixture. “They really gave it to us. The score did not really reflect how it felt out there.” In the other fixtures of week one, Prices Waimea Ahurei beat NCG senior A 57-41, Jacks Netball Club OPD beat Nayland senior A 85-22, and Prices Waimea Pango beat Jacks Netball Club TBC 5718.

Draw for Waimea as last gasp penalty goes wide JACK MALCOLM A wayward last-minute penalty kick meant Waimea Combined Barbarians could only gather a draw against Rangiora in its first round game. The kick from first five-eighth Ryan Flowers saw the teams tie 28-a-piece. Rangiora had the majority of the ball and looked dangerous on attack while the Barbarians were forced to dig deep to defend. The message behind the goal posts was to dig deep and do themselves proud as Waimea succumbed to the pressure and gave Rangiora the lead with 10 minutes to play. But the tough words of encouragement worked, with a late

try to James Stang bringing the scores back to level with enough time for one final push. James’ converted try was the only points the Barbarians could muster in the second half after going to the sheds 21-7 at halftime. That advantage looked to be convincing but proved to be insufficient as they let Rangiora back into the game with 21 unanswered points. The Barbarians finished the game beating against the Rangiora defence after earning a turnover, culminating with a penalty just to the left of the posts about 30 metres out from the line. Ryan stepped up to take the kick but pulled the ball just to the left of the uprights with time all but up on the clock to see the game out.

Barbarians head coach Marc Hunter says they let themselves down allowing their lead slip. “We’re happy with the first half, obviously we had a bit of a lead, but we allowed Rangiora to get back into the game. “We didn’t get enough ball and spent too much time on defence.” He says their 10 debutants, including nine in the forward pack, impressed with their maturity. “It’s pretty much a new forward pack, so we’ve got a lot of work to do with our boys up front but they will get better and better. “It’s a big step up coming to this sort of level of rugby.” Nelson College started their first 15 campaign with a convincing 36-13 win over St Andrews College.

Stoke best Waimea Old Boys to lift the Ken Mansfield Trophy for the first time JACK MALCOLM AND PETER JONES

After a sluggish start, they were right back in the hunt come halftime with the scores locked 19-17 after two conversion misses by WOB. Stoke came out in the second forty with a message to prove as they again piled on the points with two quick tries to Sean Scott and Chris Little which all but sealed the win and, with it, the Ken Mansfield trophy which is contested for between the two clubs. Stoke coach Joe Kirker says he was happy with the effort they put in to walk away with the win and lift the trophy. “We’d never won it before.

Stoke have kicked off their Tasman Trophy campaign with a 53-24 win over Waimea Old Boys while Wanderers succumbed to an at-home Central, 57-10. A strong start by the Stoke side saw them race out to a quick 19 point lead with a trio of tries down the right-hand side’s touchline in the first 15 minutes. But WOB responded right back just as it looked like they might start wilting under the pressure with tries to Finepolo Ma’afu, Patelesio Latu and Max Fraine.

“We talked about wanting to embrace the grind and love the work. That was Ken’s way of doing things and we thought if we did it we’d find success.” WOB coach Scott McKenzie says they owned the second 20 minutes of the first half, but mistakes cost them. “We muscled up and got back into the game, but basic errors cost us. We needed the ball for longer periods.” He says they were happy with how the boys responded to the early adversity in what had all the makings of a blowout. “The way the guys came together after that start was huge.

SUPER RUGBY TIPPING

Best off-road racers head to Nelson A spectacular weekend of racing will see two national off-road races held on consecutive days in the Golden Downs Forest. The Young’s Automotive Off-Road Weekend will feature the NZ Ruff n Tuff Enduro and the NZ Enduro Champs and will see a combined 40 cars race around 650km of the Golden Downs track – a similar distance to that from Nelson to Dunedin, but all on gravel roads. Organiser and local driver, Dan Fisher, says they are expecting a “high attrition rate”. “For the 40plus race cars and drivers this relentless race and it will take a toll.

“We’re expecting an attrition rate more than 50 per cent. It’s a staggering figure and it means fewer than 20 finishers are expected. “At 15-18 mins per lap, this race is great for spectators to view the cars regularly at the viewing point by the pits,” he says. The NZ Ruff n Tuff Enduro and the NZ Enduro Champs is on Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15 at Golden Downs Forest. Follow the signs into the forest from the top of the Spooners forest south of Wakefield. There is no charge for admission to the event. Coffee and food caterer in the pits.
