Mum loses money after dentist closes A Nelson mother with at least $600 worth of credit with her local dentist is battling to get her money back after the business closed its doors, leaving no contact details. Stacey didn’t want her last name printed but says she had an automatic payment set up with Stoke Dental Centre, which was owned by Dr Nicolas Smith. She says she called the clinic last week to book an appointment, knowing that she had a credit with the dentist, only to get an answerphone message telling her that the business had closed and referring her to another dentist. “It took me a long time to save and had I not rung, my automatic payment would have kept going, no one told me to stop it.” Stacey set up the automatic payment for on-going dental work and says she was “gutted” to hear that her money would probably be lost. “My new dentist said he went into liquidation and that I probably wouldn’t get my money back. I have three kids, a mortgage. My husband and I both

work, I work six days, I’m trying to be a responsible adult by saving up and then something like this happens.” The chief executive of the Dental Council, Marie Warner, says the council received a request from Dr Smith on November 3 to be removed from the dental register, but she didn’t have any more information. “Our understanding from local dental practitioners in Nelson is that Dr Smith has closed his practice and that Dr Graham Leathley, general dentist of Richmond Dental Centre has offered to be an initial point of contact for former patients of Dr Smith who are under active treatment.” She says those who are unhappy about owed money should contact the disputes tribunal. Nelson Weekly tried to contact Dr Smith, but had no luck.
Volleyball hits the beach
Beach volleyball made a timely return to Tahuanui Beach on Sunday, the hot weather matching the action on the sand. The event was called the Pines New Zealand Challenger and saw 27 pairs compete across three divisions over six courts. Abbey Greenwood and Micah Lindsay-Brown won the open womens’ section, Teryn Proracki and Patrick Shone won the mens’ title and Sarah Wagner and Brooke Matheson won the new junior girls’ satellite division.

Leaky school library may be demolished Simon Bloomberg Reporter
simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Broadgreen Intermediate is one of nine schools in the Nelson region with leaky buildings that are being investigated by the Ministry of Education, with Henley School’s $984,000 library so badly damaged by water that it may have to be demolished. The ministry is presently in the middle of a 10-15 year building improvement programme of assessment and repairs to schools which have, or are suspected to have, weather-tightness issues. It has 1642 buildings in the programme and so far has spent more than $260 million on assessing and repairing 635 leaky buildings at 328 schools country-wide. Acting head of the education infrastructure service, Jerome Sheppard, says Henley, Broadgreen Intermediate, Golden Bay, Riwaka, Wakefield and Richmond schools are included in the programme, with the water damage in Henley’s library “worse than we had initially thought”. Another three Nelson-Tasman schools are also in the programme but cannot be named because their leaky buildings are “subject to

legal proceedings”. “All of these buildings have been identified as having weather-tightness issues as a result of either poor design, materials’ failure, poor workmanship or poor quality control processes,” Jerome says. “We take weather-tightness damage at all these schools seriously, which is why they are in our building improvement programme.” Broadgreen principal, Derek Lucic, says they have three buildings that are being assessed, but haven’t reached the next stage where the extent of the water damage is known. Derek says two of the leaks have been found at the interface of old and new buildings and he doesn’t think the damage will be too extensive, while a third area is in a “reasonably

modern building”. “The Ministry of Education has been proactive about it, which is good, but it’s a real embarrassment to the designers and building industry. It’s going to impact on the roll out of future funding for schools.” Henley School is one of the worst affected in Nelson with up to 90 per cent of the framing timber found to be damaged when the cladding and roof were removed. Jerome says they have “received expert advice that the library’s leaks resulted from design and construction issues”. “We suspended the work so we could investigate further and consider the best options.” Henley’s leaky administration block was also damaged by water but has been reopened this term after being “remediated”.

It’s time to find your pink outfits and gather your friends for the annual Boot Camp for Breast Cancer. The boot camp is hosted by the Nelson Regional Breast and Gynaecological Cancer Trust, so all the money raised stays in the top of the south.

TOP STUDENTS FOUND: Nelson’s top students for 2014 were announced last week at the region’s local colleges. At Nelson College, Finn Whittington won the dux award, Adam Pauling won the dux at Nayland College and Emily Narbey was the dux winner at Nelson College for Girls. Senior students now start exams for the next month. SMITHIES FIRES UP DANCE PARTY: He’s known for his funky and out-there tunes and this weekend our very own Grant Smithies is at it again, DJ-ing a dance party at Devilles on Saturday night. Grant is hosting “Soul Kitchen 2” after the first one was a sell-out hit at the same time last year. The party will be held at Deville’s this Saturday, November 15. Two other DJs will also play on the night, says Grant. “The idea is to play a huge range of music so you get a bunch more variety than you might ordinarily find at a dance party. It’s going to be great fun and there aren’t many tickets left. Tickets are $20 from Deville’s and the party starts at 8.30pm. SCHOOLS SECURE FUNDING: The Canterbury Community Trust has approved grants totalling $311,562 for the Nelson Tasman education sector. Applications ranged from computer technology support to pool and building enhancements, as well as several worthy projects aimed at improving the lives and outcomes for non-school children and young people and those requiring special education. Thirty two schools and trusts attracted funding.

e l p o e p d o o f h Y ou r f re s Members of the Nelson Coastguard have assembled a team to restore a yacht donated by Nelson Weekly. The yacht will be tided up and raffled off, with all of the money raised going straight to the Coastguard. The team are from left; Graeme Richards, Mark Howard, Dave Brookes and Emmett Mills.

Team assembled to restore yacht
A team of volunteers from the Nelson Coastguard has been assembled to restore a donated yacht. The yacht is a 20 foot Red Wing trailer sailor, that was donated to the Coastguard by the Nelson Weekly newspaper and its sister paper, Waimea Weekly. The volunteers from the Coastguard will spend the next year tidying it up, before raffling it off. They hope to raise as much as $20,000 from the project. Graeme Richards from the Coastguard, says the donation
“blew them away” but they are now in the planning phase, figuring out what they need for the yacht. “First thing we’re doing is getting it cleaned up, inside and out. the inside of the hull is pretty dirty, its had a lot of rain water in it so it’s got tide marks inside.” The wiring will also need to be pulled out and then rewired from scratch, but the project isn’t huge, says Graeme. And with the mast and rigging expected to be up this time next month, it won’t be long before the yacht begins to look the part.

Drone cameras make their way to Nelson
They’ve made a stir overseas for all the wrong reasons, but drone cameras are being met with enthusiasm and wonder in Nelson. The cameras are operated by remote control and are facing strict legislation overseas over fears around privacy. But for Nelson business, Photomap, the camera has been a hit, with people keen to ask questions whenever it’s in the air. Photomap uses the drone to take photos of inaccessible areas to help with their business, which creates maps, mainly
for forestry businesses. But they have also taken some impressive photos and videos. Co-owner Mark Holmes says they aren’t sure where demand for the photos will take them, but commercial work for real estate companies is an obvious area. Mark says it’s an exciting addition to their company. “We’ve had to think if there is a market before we invest too much, but we see potential.” Co-owner Cathy McBride says industries like construction and engineering
are possible areas of growth. “Guys who need visual access to difficult sites before entering, or promotions work.” Other Nelsonians with drones are capturing some stunning images and videos. New Zealand Drone Services is a Nelson-based company and was at the drag racing in Motueka on the weekend, taking photos and videos of the action. The drones can fly 400 metres from the controller and the operator can see what they’re filming via a smartphone attached to the controller.

Nayland principal farewells college Andrew Board
After five and a half years as principal of Nayland College, Rex Smith is leaving at the end of this year to take up a job in Wellington – but he promises to be back. Rex moved to the top of the south 14 years ago when he took the job as principal of Motueka High School. He was there for eight years before moving to Nayland. He says he’s leaving the job because he wife secured a role with NZQA in Wellington and, after following him “around the country for my career,” it was time to repay the favour. Rex has since secured a job with the New Zealand Teachers Council in Wellington. But the move to the capital won’t be for long, he says, with the plan to come back to Nelson to live. “We see our move to Wellington as a short-term change, we will keep property here with the view of coming back. Where else would you want to live?” Chair of the Nayland College board of trustees, Tracey East, says the school is in good hands with a replacement already announced, Daniel Wilson, an associate principal at Manurewa
High School in Auckland. “Over the two day interview process, Daniel impressed us. He is vibrant, passionate, and enthusiastic. He will continue to drive the college forward.” Last week, Rex gave his farewell speech at the school’s senior prizegiving, described as the “toughest speech of my life”. He says working at Nayland has been an “awesome” experience and his greatest pride was watching the students perform at the highest levels, whether it was in academics or on the sports field. “Highlights are always about what happens around the kids. So for me it’s the scholarship results, students performing really well academically and on the sports field. And it’s not just the top teams but seeing other kids out there doing it.” The biggest challenges included a dip in the school’s role last year, something Rex says was a “readjustment”. “It was a challenge and I learnt a lot out of it, but that’s behind us now. We are quite steady at the moment with around 1000 students on the roll.” Rex will leave the school before Christmas.

New workshops help young mums Andrew Board A new pilot programme teaching local mums new skills and giving them some “time out” is being run in Stoke this month. The programme is a collaboration between Adult Learning Support, Stoke Kindergarten and Nayland College’s adult community education. It aims to give mothers some fun and educational workshops, while their children are looked after in a different part of the building by teachers from Stoke Kindergarten. The first workshop was held last Wednesday and showed
mothers how to create games and activities for their children. The other three workshop topics are fashion, gardening and how to cook with home-grown vegetables and budgeting advice. Sally Williams, from Adult Learning Support, says the first day was a huge success. “The idea is to support mums and carers in the community, give them some time out to think about caring for their children and themselves. The feedback we’ve had has been great, they’ve loved it, so hopefully we can continue to run them next year as well.”
The mothers said that “meeting other mothers” and being able to “relax” were highlights, while another said learning how to “make games” and “use a hot gun” were “great fun”. The workshops are free and Kathryn Sclater, from Nayland College, says working with the Kindergarten Adult Learning Support has been a big advantage. “This initiative is grassroots community collaboration at its best, giving the gift of learning and inspiration to adults who have the all-important role of parenting or caregiving to children under five years.”

Race goes ahead after stolen tyres replaced Monique Bergman A trailer belonging to the Nelson Mountain Bike Club has had its tyres stolen and left on blocks, but a Nelson business has come to the rescue. When Paul Jennings, a member of the Nelson Mountain Bike Club, went to pick up the club’s trailer for an upcoming race, he found the wheels were missing. He called around to see if anyone from the club had borrowed them, but soon realised they’d been stolen. The trailer was kept in a locked Nelson City Council depot located at the start of
the Codgers mountain bike trail. The lockup was considered to be safe and the club had never encountered any trouble in the past. The Top of the South Downhill Double Header race held last week, involving 100 athletes, required a trailer to transport the bikes up the hill, and without a trailer, there would be no race. With only two days before the race, the club posted a notice on Facebook asking if anyone could loan them some trailer wheels for this event. A mountain biker saw the notice and sent a photo to Tyres & More Nelson owner
tyres and locking wheel bolts to the retail value of around $1200, he also fitted the wheels to the trailer. “I used to be a mountain biker and raced a little bit over the years, and I still have an affinity with mountain biking. “We do a fair bit for the community but I can’t believe how many people from the mountain biking club have thanked me. The club has also generously given me one year’s bronze sponsorship and free entry into the Dodzy Memorial Enduro Race, which I am really looking forward to, so I’ve got three months to get fit,” says Adrian.

Monique Bergman The V4 and Rotary South Island Championships were held over the weekend, with a day of drag racing on Saturday and a “show and shine” event at Saxton Stadium on Sunday. One of the biggest automotive and lifestyle shows of its kind in Australasia, the V4 Rotary was automotive heaven for those who went along. Devin Stokes, of Nelson, showed his Mark II Ford Escort at the event and says it was great to be able to have his car on show. He and his brother, Darryl Bunn, fully restored the car, which includes a turbo skyline motor, slowly over a two year period. The influx of car lovers to the region didn’t have much of an impact on the number of tickets issued by police either. Nelson Bays area commander, Inspector Steve Greally, says specialist road policing staff from Canterbury and Marlborough helped with a sting on vehicles travelling into the area for the weekend’s event. “I’m very pleased to be in a position to say that, on the whole, the visiting car enthusiasts and locals exercised good judgement on our roads.” He said the high visibility policing operation undoubtedly had an impact on the result. Police stopped more than 1000 vehicles over the course of the weekend and issued more than 200 infringement notices. Four vehicles were green or blue stickered and three drivers received roadside suspensions. Two vehicles were impounded and four people were detected with excess breath alcohol. “A number of drivers were given the opportunity to make their vehicles compliant on the roadside, by removing tints from windows,” Inspector Greally said. “The real success of this operation is that we get to Monday morning and there hasn’t been a serious crash or injury in our area.”

Good for the city and it should generate some much needed retail spending. Brenda Kenny.
Monkey see, monkey do! I always have bottles and bottles of cold water in the fridge, and it's a running joke when my kids drink "my" water, they drink so much water, like me! Not neglect when it's once every now and then. Amiee Baker.
Giving it out at a kids birthday party as a treat is not neglect, but letting kids drink it every day and thinking its ok, is neglect. Tina Duncan.

I disagree, everything in proportion. My son drinks juice and it has sugar, but he refuses water, so I'm supposed to let him get dehydration instead of giving him a drink of juice? A whole can of fizz or energy drinks should be a no, but classed as neglect is taking it too far. Aleisha Brunell.

In the past 6 months my daughter and I have witnessed mothers giving their very young children coke on 3 separate occasions. Mindblown!! Sheree Piesse.
I've seen photos on Facebook of children as young as 3 drinking out of a large can of V. That's neglect. Who in their right mind would give an energy drink to their child..... Babies getting fizzy in their bottles is definitely neglect. Katrina Topp.

I agree. Back when I was bringing up my daughter we didn't think or realise the damage soft drinks did and consequently my daughter has a mouth full of fillings. My grandies on the other hand have none as my daughter took care not to give them soft drinks. Brenda Kenny. On a regular basis, definitely neglect. One small glass at a birthday party is fine in my opinion. Some juices have more sugar than lemonade, so why it's seen as a "healthy option" is completely beyond me. Nikole Berkett. Neglect is taking it a bit far, as to say they don't care or love their child[ren]. I would put it down to just poor parenting choices. Helayna Brennan.
Everything in moderation. I am all for sugar-saturated drinks as a treat, but am totally opposed in an everyday environment. Education, as opposed to nanny state compulsion, is a better direction. Peter Snushall. It is not neglect! Everything in moderation. So I can go to an event and buy alcohol - which is a drug - but not buy an L&P ! Makes no sense to me. Alethea Stove. I agree, if it's given to them on a regular basis. Xmas and birthday parties is understandable, but if your child can come home from school and have a glass of coke or Fanta then there's something wrong there. Kids should be having water or milk. I don't think neglect is the right word to use, though. But, unfortunately, you do see kids going to school with fizzy, and well, that's a cock-up in the parenting department. Khalarn Olivia Cooper. I agree. Water is better, AND it's free! My girls will only be having that 3L Just Juice for their birthdays as a treat. I'm hosting Christmas this year, and I will not be supplying fizzy drinks.

New Stoke store opening this Friday
Hamish.Fletcher Lawyers Corner of Songer Street & Neale Avenue
Meat lovers around Nelson will be licking their lips in anticipation, with news the Mad Butcher is very soon to be opening its doors. On Friday November 14, Nelson franchise owners Dan and Nikki Perrin will be welcoming the public to their new store, on Songer St in Stoke, to celebrate the grand opening. There’s no doubt the Mad Butcher is a firm favourite with kiwi’s, and has been providing quality meat products at great prices since 1971.
With 39 stores around the country already, Dan and Nikki’s shop brings the total to 40, which is not only exciting for them, but for the whole of the franchise. "It's a fantastic opportunity for the people of Nelson to get top quality meat at very competitive prices. The reality is that Mad Butcher shops really do bring the prices of meat down, for example, when the store opened in Christchurch, meat prices there dropped overnight, it is very exciting times for Nelson," says Sir Peter Leitch.
The Mad Butcher has been a reputable source of meat for that summer barbeque, succulent roast and many other delicious meals, and Dan and Nikki are committed to carrying on the good name here in Nelson. It was a huge factor in deciding to be part of the Mad Butcher in the first place, alongside the influence of the man himself, Sit Peter Leitch. “The Mad Butcher has been in the game since 1971 and that story alone is pretty impressive; and we are very Hamish Fletcher excited to work for an iconic kiwi brand LLB that is now the Mad Butcher, Commerical/Maritme so that was a big of it.

because people are realising there are more options now,” says Dan. The new store has taken over what was previously the Stoke Rugby Clubrooms, but has undergone a massive transformation, from benches and rugby jerseys to lamb legs and sausages. Dan himself completed a butchery apprenticeship after leaving school and then worked at the Riccarton Mad Butcher for six months when it opened. His move to Nelson was prompted by developments in his sporting career and he has been a Nelson local for the last 13 years, while continuing to play rugby throughout the country. His repertoire of supporting achievements includes 38 games for the Tasman Makos and around the same for Bay of Plenty, 14 games for the Crusaders and half a dozen

Come meet the Mad Butcher, Sir Peter Leitch, who will be hosting a FREE Mad Butcher BBQ from 10am - 2pm so if there’s something in the shop that needs to be trimmed or customers want bigger steaks, they can talk to one of us and we’ll be happy to accommodate people’s needs,” says Dan. Another bonus with the Mad Butcher Nelson is they are one of few in the franchise who will be producing their own fresh pork and beef sausages on site. Additional flavours are planned for the future once they settle into the business, as well as sausage meat and even salami. The Mad Butcher franchise is very conscious of the welfare of animals and wants only the best conditions for them, which is why their carcass meat is 100 per cent grown in New Zealand and New Zealand Quality Mark certified; ensuring it complies with the specific requirements of New Zealand. It’s a very exciting time for the locally-owned and
operated store, and everyone is invited to come and check out the new shop on Friday. With 12 other staff on hand to meet the needs of their customers, Dan and Nikki are looking to hire more to help over the flat out Christmas period. The grand opening will take place this Friday from 7am, and is the perfect opportunity to get in and explore what the newest Mad Butcher has to offer. Sir Peter Leitch will be there to celebrate the occasion from 10am - 2pm, along with a number of local sporting celebrities from the Makos, league and basketball, who will be helping him man the barbeque. Giveaways will be on offer, as well as the results of their Facebook competition which is running now. Their normal opening hours will be from 7am until 7pm, seven days a week, so get in there and stock up on the best quality meat at competitive prices.
This is the fortieth store in the Mad Butcher Franchise. You’ll find it where the old Stoke Rugby Clubrooms used to be on Songer St.

Dog lovers, Deb and Mike Pioch with a litter of pups they are walking and trying to re-home. Photo: Monique Bergman.
Dog-lovers help mutts find new homes For Nelson couple Deb and Mike Pioch, their love and dedication towards animals has led to many Tasman District Council pound dogs finding loving new homes. When the couple moved to Nelson from Australia a couple of years ago, one of the first places Deb visited was the Motueka SPCA. She walked dogs voluntarily at the RSPCA in Canberra before moving and enquired about doing the same here. She discovered they did not have a dog shelter, and that impounded dogs from around the Tasman region were held at the Tasman District Council pound in Richmond. Deb and her husband Mike, who both work part-time, have volunteered numerous hours over the past year, walking and training the dogs from the pound and helping to find them new homes. Not only do they walk the dogs twice a week, they also teach them basic commands. “We enjoy walking the dogs, getting out in the fresh air and exercising, it is a place you can go and always be welcomed,” says Deb. Some of the dogs that arrive at the pound can be scared of their new environment and it often takes Deb and Mike quite a few visits to build a trusting relationship. Others are very happy to be in a safe dog pound and excited to explore new experiences. “These dogs often have more personality because they have had to look after themselves. They haven’t been handled much, walking them seems to settle them down and we see a big change in behaviour, they then learn to sit, stay and walk on leads. It is really rewarding seeing dogs that wouldn’t even come out of their kennel now in good homes,” says Mike. They spend their days off socialising the dogs as much as possible, and when ready Deb videos the dogs on the walks and posts on You
Monique Bergman Reporter
monique@waimeaweekly.co.nz Tube, in the hope of finding them a new family. “We teach the dogs some social skills and find out what they are like, and advertise them to be rehomed on Trade Me and You Tube. We show the dogs walking and running around on the videos, this lets possible owners see the dogs in action,” says Deb. In addition to walking the dogs, the couple take the dogs in their own vehicle to the Vet Centre Richmond to be de-sexed, vaccinated and microchipped, and take them into their own home to care for them as they recover. All costs associated with this are covered by private funding arranged by Deb and Mike. When possible, the dogs are put into foster homes by Second Chance, a non-profit organisation which rehomes unwanted or neglected dogs, to learn real home-based social skills and obedience before being placed into a permanent home. The Nelson ARK also takes the pound dogs into their APART programme, which matches wayward youth with the dogs. The students learn to train and manage the dogs and the dogs acquire obedience. Control Services Ltd Animal Control Officer, John Bergman, says, “Mike and Deb do a wonderful job, and due to their dedication the dogs in the pound have a better quality of life and a trained puppy has more of a chance of finding a new home”. For further information, visit Deb and Mike’s website www.tasmanrichmonddogpound.co.nz or watch Deb’s videos on You Tube “Tasman Richmond Pound Dogs” and “Second Chance Tasman Dog Rescue”. If you would like to provide a foster home for any dogs, please contact Second Chance on www.facebook.com/secondchancetasman or the Nelson ARK on www.thenelsonark.co.nz.

Head of the region's airport, Kaye McNabb, has announced her retirement from the job, ending 11 years in charge. Kaye grew up on a dairy farm in Hokitika on the West Coast, and after leaving school decided to study nursing. Marriage and family ensued and she then found herself as a solo mum with three children, including one who had serious health problems, and facing redundancy in her role at the hospital. Desperate for work, she applied for a job as a wages clerk at the Westland Hospitals Group where she was promoted to management level. In early 1989, she moved to Nelson and was employed by Port Nelson Ltd in various senior roles, and was appointed to the position of chief executive of Nelson Airport in 2003. “It was a very gutsy decision of the board who appointed me to the position, particularly since I had no aviation experience and didn’t wear trousers. I hope over the years I have justified that decision,” says Kaye.

Kaye recognises that it was a challenge, not only for her but for a lot of the people she dealt with within the very male dominated industry. She overcame this by quickly learning the ins and outs of the aviation scene and its politics, as well as ensuring she was available to listen to issues and opportunities from the aviators themselves. “I realised pretty quickly that this was the biggest domestic airport, and really the only one of the regions with the resources to take the lead on political issues,” says Kaye. The biggest challenge to the airport itself was that it was almost solely dependent on landing charges. A key focus was getting fairer return on the other aspects of the airport, by developing the property and parking to help smooth out the income streams. Kaye, who was presented with
the Fulton Hogan Airport Personality of the Year award at the New Zealand Airports conference in Auckland last week, has enjoyed her role with the airport company. She says it has been the most exciting and varied job that she could imagine anyone having. A recent highlight was the Nelson Airport 75 year anniversary celebration, a free event for the whole community. “You deal with everything from plane crashes to being escort for a group of Iwi and Doc removing a dead dolphin from the foreshore, to scooping exhausted Godwits off the grass runway or meeting and escorting royalty,” says Kaye. However, Kaye says it is the nice everyday people that she will remember the most. Kaye plans to retire on December 19 and will stay in Nelson, where most of her family now reside. She is looking forward to Christmas with her family, and spending more time in her garden and with her 11 grandchildren.

WHITE RIBBON RIDE: The White Ribbon motorcyclists will ride into town next Tuesday in an effort to spread the word against violence against women. The White Ribbon movement started after 14 women were killed in Canada for studying engineering, a man’s career, according to the killer. The women’s classmates founded the White Ribbon movement the following year and it came to New Zealand in 2004. The riders will met Nelson mayor Rachel Reese at Zumo at 8am on Tuesday, November 18. The first 100 men to sign the pledge to never do violence against women will get a free pie and coffee. ST JOHNS HONOURS LOCALS: Two St John members from Takaka and Nelson have been honoured for their work with the community organisation in this year’s St John Honours list. Stuart Chalmers of Takaka has been promoted to be an Officer of the Order of St John, while Kris Gagliardi of Nelson has been admitted as a Member of the Order of St John. POPPY WORKING BEE: A poppy working bee will be taking place on Sunday, November 23, from 2pm, at the Suburban Club. People are welcome to take part in the activity, to create 5000 poppies for next year’s ANZAC day and the commemoration of 100 years. Participant’s poppies will be going towards displays in the Nelson Museum and Cathedral.

Foster parents looking after our most vulnerable There are just over 100 foster parents in the Nelson-Tasman Foster Parents Association, helping care for the region’s most vulnerable, and last week they helped celebrate Foster Parent Awareness Week. The association is funded by Fostering Kids NZ, a New Zealand charity, and exists to support the families who open their homes and hearts to the children in their care, by providing encouragement, support and education to foster parents. Fostering Kids NZ say over 10,000 children and young people in New Zealand are unable to live with their biological parents, because they have been subjected to, or are at risk of, abuse or neglect. Local foster parent Rachel, has been a short-term and transitional caregiver for two years. During that time she has cared for eight babies. She decided to become a foster parent after having worked with babies privately over the past 25 years. “It is great being able to give a little one the much-needed love and care that they need for that period of time. It is very rewarding to play that part in their life and prepare them for the next part

I also keep memories of the time that they were with us so they can look back on photos and information about their time in care, it is really important to have those as they get older and realise who they are and where they have come from. The greatest gift we can give as foster parents is unconditional love,” says Rachel.

Fostering Kids Regional Coordinator and foster parent, Catriona Ward, says one of the challenges in the past has been that you worked in isolation. “This has changed now due to the new coordinator position being based in Nelson, we have now closed the isolation through increased support”. The Nelson-Tasman Foster Parents Association holds bi-monthly meetings and everyone is given the opportunity to attend. The Appreciating Foster Parents supper event was also held last week in Nelson, with 38 local foster families attending. Children in foster care can be challenging and being a foster parent can be tough. As well as dealing with the emotional side, one of the hardest aspects for foster parents is dealing with legal issues and financial pressures, so the association give advice on Child Youth and Family and legal matters. Child Youth and Family will be running Ways To Care training sessions, targeted towards potential foster parents, 6pm to 9pm on Wednesday, November 12, 19 and December 3, at Child Youth and Family Nelson office, Level 2, Monro Building, 186 Bridge St, Nelson.

Waimea Village, one year on Locally Owned and Operated
Residents own village, maintenance up-to-date and money in the bank Andrew Board It was a chilly Sunday afternoon in September last year when then-Tasman mayoral candidate Kit Maling stood at the front of a packed Blue Herring Lounge, deep in Waimea Village. He wore a tweed coat and shuffled from foot to foot as hundreds of stressed and concerned faces, invariably topped with grey hair, squeezed past each other and on to chairs that had been set out, ready for a big turnout. Battlehardened by a dozen previous meetings, the residents had hoped for good news but they didn’t expect it. They sat there after a three year fight with the owners of Waimea Village, Michael and Carolyn Wright, over the massive increases to the monthly levy they paid. They were at the end of their collective wits. It had been emotional and had taken a huge toll on many of them. Kit stood there, after months of work by community leaders and businesses to support the residents, and offered a way out. He would buy the village and turn it over to the residents, with each able to buy a share, equal to the number of homes in the village. It was a day of hope. Two months later when it was officially in their hands, it was a day of celebration. One year on, the atmosphere of stress and strain has gone. Now it’s a sense of pride in their village and the neighbourly vibe has returned. The village has got its mojo back. Already, money has been paid off the

Recently a home in the village sold for $280,000, a record high price for a home there and Kit says demand is high because the future is bright. Co-chair of the residents committee, Jerry Rowland, agrees. He says it’s a completely different atmosphere from a year ago. “I don’t want to talk about the past because what we have now is so great. We all work well together and the village is a great place to be. It’s back to being a friendly, happy place that cares for the people living here.” The village’s Blue Herring Lounge – previously the scene of heated meetings with the past owners – is now a buzzing hive of activity. There are pool nights, fashion shows, performances and its annual garage sale that was held on Saturday. Kit says the biggest problem the residents have now is if someone is driving too fast. “It’s all pretty minor stuff now and that’s good. They don’t have to worry about their future, their levy has stayed the same and we’ve been able to do a lot of good things to improve the village. Of the 172 homes in the village 140 are shareholders, and Kit says there is one share attached to each home so there will never be an opportunity for one person to be in control again. Jerry says it’s been a peaceful year. “We’re all so happy. Kit is doing an amazing job and the residents are right behind him and the directors. We can see the improvements in the village and it makes us proud. “Waimea Village is back to being the best place in the world to live.”

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House
TAHUNANUI AMALGAMATION The Tahuna Town Board sought amalgamation with Nelson City in 1924: it received a cold response. Tahunanui was regarded as a “Cinderella” with nothing but debt to contribute to such a partnership.
The Nelson City Council demanded the 600 Tahunanui residents meet full city rates, plus funding all the costs of introducing gas and water supplies, a drainage system and improved streets, costs way beyond their purse.

The image is thought to be of Arthur John Bevan. The name on the wrapper is ‘Beven, Mr’. A search of the Auckland War Memorial Museum Cenotaph database found no records for the name ‘Beven’. A second search under the name ‘Bevan’ found only one man named ‘Bevan’ (Arthur John Bevan) who was a member of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles and connected to the Nelson region. The man can be identified as part of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles due to his ‘ NZMR’ and Nelson Mounted Rifles badge. Bevan was born on 26 May, 1892, in Wellington. On the Cenotaph database his next of kin is listed as Charles Bevan (father), Westport, New Zealand. Before World War

remain unbeaten They simply can't be stopped. The Nelson Marlborough Falcons have scored their fifth win of the season, beating Wanderers Youth 2-0 at Trafalgar Park on Sunday. Once again the Falcons kept a clean sheet while scoring two at the other end. A first half strike by Atkin Kaua gave the hosts the lead, but it was Nat Payne's goal in the second that secured the win for the Falcons. The win means the Falcons are at the top of the ASB Youth League table, after five games,
equal with Waitakere United on 15 points, but ahead on goal difference. In those five games, the Falcons have scored an average of two goals a game and have only conceeded one goal the entire season. Waitakere have also scored ten but have conceeded two goals. This Saturday, the Falcons travel to play Hawkes Bay United, before hosting Manawatu United at Trafalgar Park on Sunday, November 23. The big game against Waitakere is on December 6, in Auckland.

Around 150 junior athletes from around the top of the south competed for the Winstone Cup at Saxton Field on Sunday. The Richmond club won the annual event, just edging Marlborough. Nicola Newson, club captain of the Athletics Nelson junior club, says it was a great day. "It went very well. The kids seemed to really enjoy it." There were two new records, in the 200 metres and high jump, but they are yet to be ratified. Clubs from Marlborough, Takaka, Motueka, Richmond and Nelson took part in the cup. Next big event for the juniors is the Mini Multis on November 30 at Saxton Field.
