Petition over Hart Rise reserve name Jo Kent Reporter
jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Controversy has arisen over the proposed naming of the new reserve in Richmond’s Hart Rise, with one local campaigning for the green space on Sabine Drive
to keep its family connection to the history of the land. Until sold to developers to build the residential Hart estate in recent years, the land had been owned by the Malcolm family since 1847, who farmed the area and supplied the town with fresh milk. Surprisingly, the Hart
family never owned any of the land but were just “good neighbours” to the Malcolms, which has left surviving family members scratching their heads as to why their clan hasn’t been recognised in the development at all. “For just over one and half centuries that land was owned by the
Malcolm family and there are still seven houses owned by us in the general area,” says Gavin Malcolm. “Most Richmond streets have been named after early pioneers, so we’d love to keep the historical connection by naming the space Fawsley Reserve, which is what the family farm was called.”
Currently, none of the streets on the Hart estate have been named after the Malcolms, so this is the last chance for the family to maintain a slice of their history in the still-to-be-named reserve. “We’d donate a park bench to the

Petition over Hart Rise reserve name FROM PAGE 1 reserve with a signboard giving historical information about the area as our way of saying thank you for keeping our connection alive,” says Gavin. Previously, the Malcolms owned the land from Happyz Café, past Paton Road and up to the back of Hill Street, and have had over 14 houses across the area over the past 173 years. The suggested name of Fawsley Park or Reserve is derived from farmland in Scotland where the first generation Malcolms originally came from back in 1842. “With so many new housing developments springing up all over Richmond, local history is being erased,” says Gavin. “To still have members of the Malcolm family in residence is an historical asset and for the reserve to be named after the original land owners would be
truly fitting.” Richard Hollier, Reserves and Facilities Manager for the TDC, says, “The Council has an agreed process for the naming of reserves, which involves shortlisting three names drawn from the road name, any historical or cultural associations with the land and locally relevant geographic features. “We consult with mana whenua iwi and then a decision is made by ward councillors. The name is formalised by notice in the Gazette, this is usually done at the time that the reserve is classified under the Reserves Act 1977.” Gavin has taken to door knocking within the Hart estate to gain the support of residents. “Every single person I’ve spoken to is behind it and thinks it’s a great idea,” says Gavin. “I got 150 signatures on the petition which was handed into the council for consideration before
deadline day on 10 December.” Gavin is the fourth generation of Malcolms and has lived in Richmond since he was born. His grandparents had a homestead on the site of the new reserve and Gavin lived in the house which is still standing on the corner of the Paton roundabout and Hart Road intersection when he was growing up. At the time we went to press, the Council said it was too early to say if Gavin’s name would make the shortlist. “It’s the only suggestion for a name that we have been offered to date and it will certainly be considered against the criteria,” says Richard. Meanwhile, Gavin remains hopeful. “They are quite keen on putting in a bench and plaque outlining the history,” he says. “But even if they don’t name the place after us, I’ve done everything I can to keep our history alive. It’s our last chance.”

Action taken at Wakefield crossing Jo Kent Reporter
jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz
After the Waimea Weekly got behind the Wakefield Road Crossings campaign on 25 November, the New Zealand Transport Agency multimodal specialist walking and cycling team sent out two civil engineers to assess all of three crossing points. Jenny Lines, who is fronting the campaign, says, “The engineers looked at both the pedestrian and traffic flow and observed how each party negotiates the refuges.” The engineers’ appearance came the day after Jenny had a meeting with the NZTA to discuss ideas on improving the crossings. “It was good timing as what we had discussed was fresh in their minds when they reviewed the sites,” says Jenny. “They agreed with us and said they could see our point

on their promise of making some small enhancements to the Arrow Street crossing by coating it with reflective white paint and adding three cat’s eye reflectors on the ends of the refuge. This will bridge the gap until bigger changes can be made later in the year.”

Rates increase likely over next ten years Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Following a meeting of the Tasman District Council elected members on Friday18th December, a recommendation has been made to an annual maximum rate increase of between 4.5 and 7 per cent over the next 10 years. The proposed maximum rates are 4.5 percent in 2021/2022 to 2023/2024, 7 percent in 2024/2025 to 2025/2026, and 4.5 percent in 2026/2027 to 2030/2031. “A huge amount of effort has been involved over the past six months to arrive at this point” says Tasman mayor Tim King. In order to keep rates affordable for the first four years, the Long Term Plan (LTP) recommends temporarily suspending contributions to the Council’s Emergency Fund. This could mean that in the event of an emergency the Council may need to debt fund any costs related to response and recovery that are over and above the funding in the Emergency Reserves Fund. Because of Covid-19, the Council chose to implement 0 per cent rates for the past financial year,
instead of the proposed 2.97 per cent. “This decision has had an impact on the proposed rates increase for year one of the Long Term Plan,” the report said. The LTP 2021-2031 Consultation Document was discussed and it acknowledged that planned rates rises over the next ten years could be a significant issue for some in the community. “Some older residents who are no longer in employment will be less able to fund increases in rates for new services/infrastructure,” the report says. The LTP contains predicted results but the reality could differ significantly. The impact of these differences was included in the document. “If rates become more unaffordable, Council may choose to reduce levels of service or future investment in infrastructure and facilities in order to reduce future rates increases,” the report says. Interest rates on debt repayment could also impact rates. “$1 million more or less in debt equates to a rating impact of plus or minus $80,000 per anum,” the report says. The report said that investment in technology over the last LTP (2018-2028) was insufficient.
“The spend required going for- “Rates levels may have to be reward is substantial compared considered and other projects with the IT investment of previ- and programmes may need to be ous years,” the report says. delayed, and/or levels of service The future course of Covid-19 is standards lowered, to accomhard to predict modate the addiand further petional costs,” the riods of restricreport says. tions at level 3 The report also or four could said that sumhave negamer-time restrictive impacts tions may impact on the Tasman businesses and community residents until the and economy. dam is complete.

! On Now
The majority of councillors voted to adopt the proposed increase in the external debt limit from $200 million to $260 million. The vast majority of the debt related to infrastructure, including the $100 million just in Richmond to deliver for the development and growth that the council is required to provide for. “There has been a lot of soul searching on the matter,” Tim says. “Setting the direction for Council for the next ten years is always a challenge, but the LTP 20212031 will be one of the toughest. Those challenges were evident in the decision made by the Council today,” says mayor Tim King. He says the unprecedented combination of issues, including the rapid rate of growth, reform around the ownership and management of three-waters infrastructure, central government legislation reforms, particularly the essential freshwater management policies, and increasing community expectations around climate change and hazard management, and the impacts of Covid-19, have necessitated a significant review of the Council’s financial strategy. “There are no easy answers to the challenges we face,” says Tim.

Local MP juggles many hats

Pharmacies increasingly able to help with care

Jenny Nicholson
Jenny Nicholson Damien O’Connor sees the multiple roles he juggles as both a privilege and a challenge. Along with being the local MP for the huge West Coast Tasman electorate, he has five ministry portfolios. When asked how he balances the workload, he says he relies hugely on staff in both Wellington and the electorate offices. “I do the best I can, there is no set formula,” he says. While there is no set pattern to his days, he is usually up at 6 am and to the office at 7. If he can get an hour in at the gym he will take it, and then it’s back-to-back meetings with a finish around 11 pm. If there are international trade meetings it can run even later. As Minister of Rural Communities, one of his objectives is to see that policy formed in Wellington is tested to see how it will roll out in rural settings. “In the past it has been erratically implemented, but one of my objectives is to see that it is robustly implemented,” he says. An example he gives is the drivers licencing system. He feels it has hugely disadvan-

What is needed more in rural communities is to know how to drive on gravel roads. It ignores the realities of rural living” he says. The portfolio that has been and is likely to be the most time-consuming is Trade and Export Growth. Currently it is late night zoom meetings but will involve travel once borders open. He recently successfully advocated at the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership talks for a new expectation that Customs authorities will release perishable goods within six hours of arrival, helping to

Although some may see it as a technical issue, Damien sees it as hugely valuable and as something he would like to see with all trading partners. “Negotiations are complex, and we all get a bit and give a bit, it’s the nature of the beast,” he says. Damien is the oldest minister in parliament this term. Asked what wisdom he would impart to younger MP’s, he said to know they are only ever operating effectively as part of a team. “Ensure you respect others views. There is always wisdom whether it is to understand an alternative view or to share a similar view” he says.
Pharmacists are part of the free healthcare team available to people with non-urgent injuries or illnesses. “Sprained ankles, sunburn and hay-fever are uncomfortable but not life threatening. A pharmacist is often able to assist with such ailments,” says Jane Horder, Communications Advisor, Nelson Marlborough Health. Jane said they are also able to give advice and emergency supplies of ongoing prescription
medications. Pharmacist Andrew McGlashen said they consult across a wide range of regular ailments, not just medicine and medication related. “We can be seen as a triage point, the first point of contact. We are trained to know when it is something we can deal with and when it is something to refer on, to point people in the right direction to a doctor, dentist, optometrist or to the hospital,” says Andrew. He said pharmacists have a broad knowledge of a

large range of ailments but are not necessarily the one who treats them. Over time, more and more opportunities have opened up to pharmacists and Andrew hopes there will be even more. Along with treating minor ailments, skin cuts and abrasions and allergies, pharmacists can do INR testing, which measures the time blood takes to clot, and can consult on and treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections. They can also give some vaccinations. “It will be interesting over the next year to see how we will be involved with the masses when Covid-19 vaccines arrive,” says Andrew. Along with four years at university and a year working as an intern, pharmacists are required to participate in further training every year. Andrew says he would send people to the hospital on a weekly basis, most commonly out of usual work hours. “I very much enjoy the variation in a day and helping people,” he says.

Local parks turn-up the fun Jacqui Rawson The region’s parks are providing activities to keep everyone occupied in January. CLM, along with the Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council, has organised different events on varying days throughout the month. The ‘Parks Programme’ is designed to include something for everyone with things like Art in the Park, treasure hunts and amazing races. How about Easby Park in Richmond tomorrow from 1-2 pm? It’s a chance to join in on a Tasman version of the Amazing Race. This event can be done as an individual, a family unit, or how about getting
a group of friends together? Hunt and weave through nature to make it to the end of an Amazing Race. Or there is Washbourn Gardens, Richmond, on Thursday 21st January, to get creative with Art in the Park. The gardens are a perfect spot for an afternoon of creativity and fun. Bring the kids along for fun art creations with the parks team. The last Amazing Race, on the 28th January, covers two areas. You’ll start in the Oxford Street end of Washbourn Park, move through the park and end up under the willow trees at the Bill Wilkes Reserve. For further information and the full schedule of all park activities, check out Nelson Parks Programme on Facebook.

Vintage farm machinery comes alive Jacqui Rawson Engines will be running and steam will be billowing with rides for kids of all ages, at Higgins Heritage Park in Wakefield. They’re holding their Vintage Machinery Show which demonstrates how farming equipment operated in years gone by, over the weekend of the 30th and 31st of January. There’ll be displays of vintage machinery in action as well as the machines taking kids around the park on rides. Demonstrations will also be underway over the weekend of things like sawmilling, hay baling, and fencing. Stationary engines will be driving water pumps, generators, feed grinding and there will be sheep shearing and bale knotting. There’ll be a parade at 2 pm both days and catering is available.

Local youth employment networking site launched Jo Kent A brand new community-based employment platform for young people has launched online in Nelson Tasman. The website Youth Employment Success (YES) offers a free networking service for young people, aged 16-24, to help get them out into local businesses and gain valuable insight and experience into how companies are run. Whether looking for advice about a future career, wanting to gain experience with one of the employers listed on the site, or making future contacts in a desired area of work, it opens many doors which may have otherwise remained closed. “We currently have 88 opportunities listed on the site within the Nelson Tasman region,” says Emma Turner, National Programme Manager for YES. “This year we are looking to extend our employer base to offer even more scope for local youth.” From Pic’s and Nelmac to Richmond Aquatic Centre and Tasman District Council, there is a whole world of valuable experience, career advice and apprenticeships just waiting to be shared. “It’s a totally free service for both employers and young people,” says Emma. “Employers have told us
it’s their way of giving back to the community and helping to educate and motivate the next workforce generation in the area.” Once registered on the site, users can browse the opportunities, request an informal coffee date to talk about the business or opt to desk shadow for a day to see how things are run in a company. Employers also offer the chance for a CV review to make sure the candidate’s skills look good. With business walk-throughs to informal interview training for confidence building, the website is networking gold between young people and local employers. Launched in Dunedin in 2016, it’s since been introduced to many other regions across the country, with Nelson Tasman getting on board in October 2020. “It’s relatively early days for the Nelson Tasman region with just 13 employers,” says Emma. “But we are calling out to local businesses to get involved in this awesome initiative. “We also want more young people to sign up and see what YES can offer them. It’s a win-win situation. And with it being free, there is literally nothing to lose.” To get involved either as an employer or a user, go to youthemployer.nz and register today.

Since 1795, Jim Beam has been crafted by the Beam family and distilled with a strong sense of family values. Seven generations later, it’s still made with those same values and aged twice as long as the law requires. Perhaps that’s why today, Jim Beam stands as the World’s #1 Bourbon.

Young athletes to be showcased at Saxton By Jonty Dine
dedicated team who have spent months organising the event. She says there is a huge amount of logistics around catering to the influx of about 2000 people. “We went to the games in January in Christchurch and it’s just massive, but we are ready.” Athletes aged 7-14 will compete in a range of track events including race walking, hurdles, long jump, high jump, discus, shotput and sprints.” “It is a great event to come and watch and it will be great for the community post Covid, it will bring a lot of money in.” Cindy says they have done their best to utilise local eateries for the event.
Art turns student around
Budding young Olympians are set to descend in their hundreds this weekend. Saxton is set to stage the biggest children’s athletics meet in the country, the Colgate Games. First established in 1978, the games will see three action-packed days with 889 young athletes from 70 clubs competing. “There are some very talented locals representing the Top of the South from Nelson, Marlborough, Richmond and Motueka,” says Nelson Colgate Games Committee member Cindy Rigg. Cindy is part of a small but extremely
Art changed Skyann Martin’s life. She is Tapawera School’s Dux for 2020, and credits art teacher Miss Doreen for introducing her to art. “I was a naughty student and art turned me around,” says Skyann. Skyann’s dream since she was ten years of age has been to be a tattoo artist. She has all the gear and friends who have offered to let her practice on them, but she has declined, saying she would

rather be trained first. “I love the idea of people wanting to put artwork on their body, especially if it’s meaningful to them,” says Skyann. Her plans have changed and she is hoping to be a senior art teacher, but tattooing remains an option. Along with her Dux award, Skyann was recognised for her voluntary service to the school. She was part of the school’s magazine team for three years and in 2020 was the senior editor.
She also volunteered in the Stanley Café, which is run by primary school students. She made coffees and put orders together. And she was a bus monitor. Skyann says that lockdown made it hard to remain motivated, but having her art kept her on track. Painting is what she loves most, and she has sold five paintings to date. Next year Skyann plans to attend a three year arts course at NMIT.

Spoilt for choice this summer
Summer is in full swing, the days are getting warmer, and there’re loads of exciting things to see and do in the Nelson-Tasman region during the holiday season. Whether you are a visitor or a local, the area is brimming with options.

The Heart of Honda New Zealand Honda ventures into new territory Honda’s long association with Nelson has taken another exciting twist with the recent opening of a brand new retail outlet at the Honda New Zealand site in Wakatu Estate, Stoke. It is the latest development of a long and proud relationship between Honda and the Nelson community stretching back over 40 years. Honda New Zealand has a long, proud history with the local community. Its connection to this region began in 1980 with the assembly of the Honda vehicles at the car factory, and at its peak employed over 400 people. As market changes dictated, the factory eventually closed in 1998. However, Honda affirmed its commitment to the region, stating, “we will always be in Nelson.” The plant was initially used as a distribution centre for new Hondas but was demolished in the early 2000’s. The purpose-built Distribution Centre opened in 2001 on the Elms Street site, continuing this commitment,
joy a tour of the complex and the barbeque and giveaways, meet the team, and enter the draw to win a trip in our latest Honda to Hanmer Springs.” Honda Cars Nelson is an integral part of the Honda complex in Stoke which sits at the very heart of Honda New Zealand. Still, after many years, all new Honda cars start life at Nelson, and with a growing selection of certified used Hondas, they will have the Honda for you.
Honda Fan Base
and now with the new retail outlet and service facility, Honda has again shown its intention to remain a strong presence in Nelson.
Visit the fabulous new showroom The new showroom is modern, light and spacious. “It’s a serene space where people can come and discuss their motoring needs.” At times there will be up to 600 cars onsite, and if you would like to view a particular model, in a
particular colour, it will be most likely here so you can see the exact vehicle you are purchasing. “Ultimately, it’s about the brand; customers love the Honda quality, the backup and there’s plenty of that with full parts and service available onsite. We’re about making your Honda experience extra special with fairness, transparency, honesty and hospitality. Of most importance to the team is their relationship with the customer so they’ll be happy to make you a coffee and have a chat in the customer lounge area. The Honda Price Promise: Only one price, the best price. Whoever you are and where-ever you are, or whenever you buy you will always pay the same best price for your Honda. Dealer discounts and run out sales lower resale values and speed up depreciation of new cars. We don’t do this and that’s how we protect your investment in a new Honda.
Certified Used: Buy any NZ new Honda less than 8 years old and travelled less than 100,000kms and you receive a 3 year Honda warranty. How good is that? Service Packages: Introduced in 2020 transparent servicing options tailored to suit any Honda’s age and mileage. Many of the staff have been with the company since the vehicle assembly plant. “Their standard of workmanship is based on the high standards of new vehicle assembly, so we’re not your normal repair workshop,” Whether you need service and parts or you’re looking for the next Honda in your life. “Ken Allan and Craig Fenemor, previously from the Bowater Honda Franchise, both have a reputation for exceptional customer care.” “You are invited to come along to our Open Day on Saturday, 23 January (10am to 4pm).

Honda customers are traditionally very loyal. Lance Walford is one of many examples. He worked as a foreman in the paint shop for 27 years and was there on the day the plant closed in ’98. “It was like a second home to us,” he says. “People were friendly; we all got on well and producing motor cars in a little town like Nelson was pretty exciting in the mid-eighties. Honda bought the assembly plant, and we went out of all the British Leyland stuff and just built Hondas. I enjoyed it so much, I would still be working there today.” Lance bought a company Honda Civic in 1984 and has had Hondas ever since. “When I saw they were bringing out a ‘Type R,’ I said, ‘I’ve got to have one,’ so I ordered it and got the first one in Nelson, which I’ve had for two years and love it.” Then the new one came out, so he ordered that too. “It’s one of the best 2021 models in New Zealand.” Lance says it’s fantastic to drive; it looks smart and everywhere he goes, people tell him that they love it.

Skate skills on display Just a thought... Jo Kent
and decorations and as we prepare to shelve our New Year’s resolutions for another year – we must remember that God sent Jesus into this world to offer hope and joy to the lost, least, and last. So, before we return to our jobs and move on with another year, let’s try to maintain the Christmas message of hope, joy, and peace for a little while longer. This idea of keeping the message of Christmas going is beautifully captured in a Howard Thurman’s wonderful poem

Get ready to for some fast-paced action in this year’s Skate Park Tour which hits Richmond’s Jubilee Park on Saturday 16 January, from 3pm to 5pm. It’s a chance for locals to show off their skills and compete against other riders on either BMX bike, skateboard or scooter. With junior, senior, women and open categories, the event will showcase some of the best talent in the region. There will be awesome demos and coaching sessions to encourage riders to develop and enhance their expertise. Yulia Panfylova, event co-ordinator, says, “The Skate Tour is one of the biggest events of its kind in the region. It’s an event where people can safely compete with each other and feel safe practising their new tricks and moves.” Around 40 riders of all ages compete at each event with placegetter and spot prizes available from the official sponsors, Cheapskates and Village Cycles. “The environment encourages support, coaching and mentoring, and we usually see the older skateboarders are mentoring the younger ones,” says Yulia. “It’s open to everyone and is a fun day out for riders and spectators alike – some of the tricks are amazing.” It’s free to enter, just register on the day. Helmets are compulsory and it goes without saying that it’s an alcohol-free event. The tour has been running since 2007 after being set up by the Tasman Youth Council and is the highlight of the summer calendar for many enthusiasts. The tour finishes at Nelson Skate Park, Neale Park, on Sunday 17 January and has already been to Motueka, Takaka and Tapawera.
“The Work of Christmas”:
Stephen Hooper, Anglican Church
Richmond
Now the work of Christmas begins. For some of us there is a sigh of relief that we have moved beyond the Christmas rush; there are no more presents to buy or gifts to wrap, and no more extra meals to make or eat. Others are overjoyed that we have completed our New Year’s celebrations and left behind what has been a tough year for many. However, having carefully packed away our Christmas trees

Competitors are welcome to turn up early to meet and greet the other riders and to get a feel for the park and have a warm-up. There will be food carts and refreshments available on the day, too. “Everyone is really friendly
and participate to get a buzz from doing something they love,” says Yulia. “It’s a real family event and it’s great seeing the young kids get inspired to try out skating or scootering.” Visit

When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home, when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins: to find the lost, to heal the broken, to feed the hungry, to release the prisoner, to rebuild the nations, to bring peace among the people Have a wonderful and hope-filled New Year.

Teenagers regularly volunteering at holiday programmes Jenny Nicholson There’s a group of local teenagers who are giving up a week of every holiday to help lead camps and holiday programmes for children. Some of these teens are taking leave from work to volunteer. “I’m incredibly grateful they are willing to give up a pay cheque to
help at camp,” says Anna Wright, kids camp coordinator at Teapot Valley Christian Camp. While they have just five volunteers for the day camps, overnight camps require 24 to 30 leaders. “For the day camps, the children go home at the end of the day and the leaders stay overnight. We try and spoil them with a fancy dinner or a

Skool Zout volunteer, Daniel Luke movie in the pool,” says Anna. Some leaders have been campers themselves, then graduated to leaders-in-training and then through to be a leader. Some have gone on to become senior leaders, those who take care of the other leadership team. “We need leaders to ensure other leaders are taken care of because then they can look after the kids,” says Anna. Skool Zout coordinator Lisa Luke has a team of teens helping run the programme. She says that it is not something that would suit everyone and an enjoyment of children is most important. “The teens who help have a very positive impact on the programme because the kids love them,” says Lisa.

The community Christmas dinner held at the Church on the Hill was attended by 120 people. Vicki Spiers, a member of the organising committee, said there had been a lot of really good feedback on the day. Vicki coordinates the volunteers working in the kitchen and prepares and cooks the food. “I was a caterer in my past life,” she says. Vicki had previously catered high-end weddings and conferences and worked for a cafeteria that fed 300 for morning and afternoon tea and lunch. She said she can fall back into catering quite quickly but has no desire to cater daily. “I’m happy doing it occasionally for something like this,” she says. So many people volunteered to help that some were turned away. Vicki
says she never knows what skill base the people who arrive on the day will have. This year she was happy to have someone who had been a chef. Most of the volunteers were women, but there were some men helping and some of the guests stayed to help clean up. Still, the day was full for the coordinators, working from 8 am until 5 pm and returning the next day to take leftovers to families who could use them. Mayor Tim King said he really enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate Christmas lunch with wide crosssection of people, young and old, from a variety of different places. “Once again, everyone enjoyed a superb meal,” he says. He wants to thank all those who donated food and their time for preparation and clean-up to make this a special event.

Records shattered in Nelson classic swim Peter Gibbs Swimmers took advantage of perfect conditions to rewrite the record book in the 34th Eyebright Mile in Nelson on Sunday. Alec Swan pipped Hayden Squance in a sprint up the beach, recording 22min 37sec for the 2km course. Oxford Bayley was in third place in 22.43, joining the others in breaking Cadman Irvine's 1993 record of 23.21. Previous three-time winner of the event Luke Kelly (24.01)
finished just ahead of Abbey Smale (24.17), who shattered Sam Winward's 2015 record by 84 seconds. In a female procession, next to finish were Isabella Thurlow (26.23) and Brooke Swan (26.43). The annual race starts at the Nelson Yacht Club ramp and finishes on the sands of Tahunanui Beach, starting right on high tide. Race Founder Peter Owen was on the start line for the first time in many years and finished the event comfortably.
STAGE TWO SECTION ONE
• Putting extra lanes on the roundabout to cater for increased traffic as our region grows.
New options are in place to accommodate traffic while work is underway, shown on the bottom diagram. They include:
• Making it safer for cyclists and pedestrians (especially the many school children in the area) by adding raised crossings.
• A temporary roundabout at Templemore / Salisbury for traffic detoured from Champion Road, via Kareti and Templemore Drives.
• Taking the chance to make improvements to the water supply and other services at the same time.
• A new road to Champion Road West – left turn only from Richmond Deviation (SH6) – to access the businesses in this area (Active Explorers, Caltex, Crossbow Coffee Roasters, Eddyline, Hubbers Flooring, Jennian Homes, Moxini, Premier Services, Raeward Fresh, Richmond Aquatic Centre, Zink) who are all open as usual. See our website, tasman.govt.nz/ projects for diagrams showing the easiest ways to access the businesses from each direction.
CHANGES AT THE ROUNDABOUT Work at the roundabout will be done in four sections. The top diagram shows the layout for Section One in place from the week starting 11 January. Two key things to remember during construction:

s w e N g n i h s Fi Dominik Berghamer The holidays and the reasonably good weather saw quite a few people try their luck over the last couple of weeks and many of them did pretty well! There are still snapper to be caught, small ones in the shallows and bigger ones further out, past the 30m line. Plenty of kingfish have been caught as well, both targeted and as bycatch when fishing for snapper. Haku – the te reo name – are one of the most popular sport fish in New Zealand, they can weigh up to 60kg and are exceptionally powerful fighters. Not much is known about their life cycle but they seem to spawn over summer and unlike most other species the juveniles appear to move off shore for their early life. They grow incredibly fast and reach 2-3kg within a year’s time. That’s when many of them return to the shores – known as “rats” at this stage - and within 2-3 more years they have reached the legal size of 75cm. Unsurprisingly, this requires a lot of food, mainly smaller fish and squid. Kingfish are attracted to areas with structure and lots of current, the main areas to find them in the Bay are the Motueka spat farms and the Boulder Bank but they can be caught anywhere where there is food for them. Fishing methods include trolling lures, jigging or live baits, preferably with strong gear, if there is structure nearby they will try to get into it and break you off. If you are lucky enough to catch
Lindsay with a decent kingie a legal sized one and want to keep it, dispatch, bleed and gut it before you put it on ice as fast as you can. The meat is excellent but overcooks and gets dry easily. For the best results apply only very little heat or no heat at all – kingfish make fantastic sashimi! For more information visit us on www.dawnbreakers.co.nz Dawnbreakers Fishing Club Nelson Nelson is the proud host of the long established Dawnbreakers Fishing Club and we are ready to tackle another season. The aim of the club is to help manage and foster the sport of fishing by encouraging, advising and assisting members with all aspects of fishing. www.dawnbreakers.co.nz Tight lines!

The Railway Hotel and Mr Lipscombe Marg Farrelly Frederick Thomas Lipscombe was born in 1868 in Crediton, Devon, England. Frederick arrived in New Zealand in 1887 and was employed until at least 1896 on Highfield Station, Waiau, as a musterer. He also worked for ten years as part of the staff working on Government surveys. Frederick married Maria Andrew in Greymouth in 1900. Maria’s first husband, Hugh, had died in 1897. Frederick and Maria had two daughters, Catherine and Dorothy, and one son, Frederick George. Upon taking up proprietorship of the Railway Hotel in Richmond, June 1900, Frederick had it thoroughly renovated and refurnished, adding a first-class bathroom with shower attached. The hotel was close to the railway station, being originally built in 1886 on the corner of Queen Street and Gladstone Road. It was a wooden building at the
time, two storeys high with an entrance from each street. Only the best wines, ales, liquors and spirits were stocked. The dining room had chairs for fifteen guests, but with folding doors opened, twice that number could be catered for. On the ground floor there were parlours, sitting-rooms and smoking-rooms. Upstairs there were seven bedrooms for guests. Afternoon tea for lady and gentlemen cyclists was available daily. There was also good stabling and accommodation for horses. A billiard room was available for those wishing to play. In the grounds outside there were spacious sale yards, where Bisley Bros & Co conducted weekly sales of livestock. After taking up residence in Richmond, Frederick became involved with a number of the local clubs. He was a steward and committee member of the Jockey and Trotting clubs; vice president of the Athletic and Cycling Club; and of the

As such, he hosted the half-yearly meeting of delegates of Independent Order of Oddfellows, providing a “sumptuous dinner” to which “ample justice was done to the good things that the table was loaded with.” The Railway Hotel was the terminus for the daily Newman
Bros coach from Riwaka and Motueka, arriving in Richmond at 11.30 am and departing on the return journey at 12.00 pm. The coach would arrive in Motueka at 4.30 pm and Riwaka at 5 pm. In May 1904, there was an incident while the Motueka coach was at the Richmond railway station, next to the hotel. The driver was getting up on to the coach when he was kicked by

one of the horses; consequently, he fell off the coach with the horses bolting out onto the main street. The ladies on the coach screamed, causing the horses to become more frantic. Frederick, who was standing outside his hotel, rushed across the road, grabbed one of the horses by the bridle and was able to arrest the momentum of the coach. Frederick was the publican of the Railway Hotel from mid 1900 to mid 1907 when he sold the business. Later that year he took over the publican’s license of the Globe Hotel in Wakefield Street, Auckland, until March 1909. He then became the licensee of Lake Hotel, Lake Takapuna. This was followed by time he spent as the proprietor of the Billard Saloon in Te Kuiti, before he took up residence at 221 The Terrace in Wellington. Frederick died October 1936, in Wellington, and his ashes were interred in Karori Cemetery. Maria preceded him by four months and is also interred there.

Salisbury/Champion Road roundabout Work on this roundabout upgrade restarts this week.
Summer Events are now in full swing so make sure you’re making the most of them. Grab a programme, if you haven’t already, or check it out at tasman.govt.nz and don’t miss any of the fun this summer. Summer Movies al Fresco are popping up all over the region right now so check the website for what’s coming your way. Also, look out for these events coming up in your area. Skate Park Tour This is your chance to show off your skateboard, BMX and scootering skills and compete against other contestants. There are competitions are scheduled across the Nelson Tasman region with great prizes on offer. Entries are taken on the day of each competition. Helmets are compulsory for all competitors.
From this week, there’ll be major traffic changes at the roundabout. During construction you will always be able to go straight through the roundabout between Stoke and Richmond but you won’t be able to turn right from any entrance. The work will happen in four stages and the lanes will be clearly marked out so you know where you can go. Access to all the businesses and the Aquatic Centre in Champion Road will be maintained via a slip road off the state highway. They will all remain open for business so please show your support. Keep up to date with this project and any traffic changes on our website, tasman.govt.nz/ projects. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding as we carry out this major project.
Categories: skateboard, BMX bikes and scooters.
Help stop the spread of “lake snow” algae Tasman District’s alpine lakes have some of the cleanest and clearest water in New Zealand and we would like to keep it that way. Tasman District Council, the Department of Conservation, Ministry for Primary Industries and Fish & Game New Zealand are working to combat the spread of the microscopic algae (Lindavia intermedia) that causes lake snow. Please help us to limit the spread of this algae in our lakes. Lindavia intermedia is present in many of New Zealand’s low nutrient lakes, including lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa, in Nelson Lakes National Park. Much like the infamous Didymo (rock snot), this organism produces submerged clouds of mucus-like algae called lake snow. Although it’s not toxic to humans or animals it creates a nuisance for those using the lake as it sticks to everything.
• Richmond Skatepark Saturday 16 January, 3.00pm – 5.00pm
It only takes one droplet of contaminated water or one small piece of the ‘slime’ to infect a new water body. We can limit the spread by being vigilant. Check, clean and dry any wet or damp items and be especially cautious before entering a different lake or waterway. Spray infected gear with a 5% solution of dishwashing detergent, a 2% bleach solution, or nappy cleaner.
• Nelson Skatepark Saturday 17 January, 3.00pm – 5.00pm
Get more information on the website doc.govt.nz/stopthespread
Summer water sampling underway
Looking out for our visitors
We monitor a range of sites throughout summer so we can be assured of good water quality for swimming and water sports. However, there can be issues at times, especially following heavy rain when there is a chance of contamination from run-off. To play it safe, you shouldn’t swim in discoloured water or for at least the first 24 hours – and preferably 36 hours – after heavy rainfall. See local water quality information on our website, tasman.govt.nz/link/swimming-water.
The Positive Ageing Expo is back in April this year, showcasing the recreational, health and social services available in Nelson Tasman to make ageing a positive experience. It’s happening on Friday 16 April 2021 from 10.00 am – 3.00 pm at the Headingly Centre, Richmond. You need to make sure that you register to be a stallholder by Sunday 21 March 2021.
Tasman’s Freedom Camping Ambassadors are out and about again this summer. Their role is to visit the popular freedom camping sites around the region and help holidaymakers to understand our rules and restrictions and to camp responsibly. Thanks to a grant from the central government Responsible Camping Funding, the Ambassadors will be working more hours per week and will be available right through until the end of March. While carrying out their role, which includes promoting caring for the environment, helping campers to find appropriate camping sites, and explaining the rules around freedom camping in our District, the Ambassadors get to meet a wide variety of visitors to our region.
If you are a community group, agency or organisation that can make a positive impact on our ageing population, register for a stall now and make your presence felt at the Positive Ageing Expo.
The majority are committed to doing the right thing and looking after our beautiful environment. For more information about responsible camping, visit the website tasman.govt.nz.
Head to tasman.govt.nz/link/positive-ageing to book a stall, or contact Community Partnerships Coordinator Gary Alsop, call 03 543 8980 or email gary.alsop@tasman.govt.nz.

Toxic algae We also keep a close eye on rivers for toxic algae (which could be harmful to pets or children if eaten) during the summer months and post results to our website. See tasman.govt.nz/link/toxic-algae. You can help us keep on top of it by reporting large mats of algae when you see them. Email trevor.james@tasman.govt.nz with a photo of the algae attached, or call us on 03 543 8400.

Summer Events coming your way!
We’re putting extra lanes on the roundabout to cater for increased traffic as our region grows. We’re making it safer for cyclists and pedestrians (especially the many school children in the area) by adding raised crossings. We’ll be making some changes to water supply and storm water at the same time.
