Overspend dam enquiry launched Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

An independent investigation has been launched into the events that led up to Tasman District Council’s decisionmaking process over the Waimea dam, while a final decision has been made on how to fund the resulting overspend at a recent council meeting. Council chief executive Janine Dowding says, “The cost overruns have been hugely disappointing. If we could have better anticipated them, then we need to learn from that. Those lessons would likely be valuable for other large Tasman projects as well as districts that are looking at water security solutions.” The review will focus on the quality of the information and advice provided to the project governance board and the council up until November 2018 when the TDC made the final decision to proceed with the dam. The investigation, estimated to take three months, will be carried out under the oversight of the Audit and Risk Committee. The investigation does not change the council’s contractual obligations relating to the dam project. How to fund the overspend has been the subject of debate for many months, with TDC now deciding that residential ratepayers will pay an average cost of $5 a year for five years. This decision falls under Revised Option A. It means some of the council debt and all irrigator debt to fund the overruns will be held in Waimea Water Ltd (WWL), a joint venture company of the Council and Waimea Irrigators Ltd (WIL). Part of the interest on that debt will be paid through WWL water charges to the council, and the rest by water charges to Irrigators through WIL. The cost of the dam is currently coming in at $158.4 million, up from $129.4 million, after several oversights and blunders along the way.

Probably netball. I found it really fun, I like team sports.

I loved cross country because we ran through streams, over fences and rough ground as well as school grounds.

As my legs are painted on, I didn’t enjoy sports at all.

I grew up in South Africa so just rugby. There’s more choice here in New Zealand for children.

Hunt for precious book Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Sheila Pollitt realised her husband had accidentally donated their most precious book to the Founders Book Fair, she knew it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. The book is special because it features their son Nigel, who passed away from Covid in Australia last year, aged 61. Now Sheila, and her husband Jim, are on a mission to get it back - the problem is they can’t recall the name of the book or the author. The book is about the tall ship, or schooner, Sofia that sank on 23 February 1982, off the North Island of New Zealand, between Cape Reinga and North Cape. Nigel, a keen sailor, was

one of the 17 crew members on board. “He loved the sea,” says Sheila. “He is mentioned in the book and there are photos of him. That was the precious part. Jim accidentally put it in the donation box, which we took to the book fair. A week later we realised it was missing.” Sheila says it was difficult losing their son during lockdown. “Nigel passed away on the very first day of lockdown. We couldn’t go over to Australia, so it made it so much harder.” Sheila says they have tried looking for the book online with no luck and would be grateful if anyone bought the book at the fair to get in touch and let them know what it’s called or even offer them the chance to buy it

back from them. Book fair coordinator, Karen Clark, says books are “accidentally donated” at least two or three times a year. However, because they receive thousands of books, it can be a tricky task to locate them. “Once a book is packed, it’s in ‘deep storage’ but we are usually successful in finding them 70 or 80 per cent of the time.” Karen says they are still looking for Sheila and Jim’s book in the boxes that were unsold when the fair ended. “We love reuniting books with their owners, but without a title or author it is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack.” If you bought Sheila and Jim’s precious book, email jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz.

Solidarity for the nurses strike Jenny Nicholson Crowds dressed in purple gathered outside Nelson Hospital to protest on Wednesday showing their support for the nurses strike. Nurses walked off the wards at 10.45am after rejecting the latest offer from the DHBs. An offer in May would have given most around 1.38 per cent increase, just under the rate of inflation. Upper Moutere clinical nurse specialist Bobbye Buckland says wards have been horribly busy and two of her nurses were in tears saying they ‘couldn’t do this.’ She says for her the key issue is this busyness nurses are facing. The New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) says one key message is they are facing serious workforce issues with pay rates that do not attract and retain people and that the DHBs latest offer of a lump sum payment does nothing to lift rates of pay or to address the long-term issues. They say the Government’s wage restraint announcement in May on top of the poor first offer has made them furious. Nurse and NZNO delegate Amanda Field says, “Nurses are exhausted, unheard and undervalued. This has been going on since 2004, we have been asking for safe staffing and it’s actually worse now rather than better. It’s scary to be a nurse at the moment, people are sicker than previously and there are times it is unsafe and not enough nurses are on shift.”

Berryfield update

Temporary measures to make the Berryfield Drive intersec-

The main carriageway has been widened, the Berryfield Drive traffic island shortened, and a new turning lane is marked on the road in the newly-created space.

Students building brighter futures Jo Kent Three new houses and six community cabins built by carpentry students at the Richmond campus of Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) on Lower Queen Street will be relocated to become first homes for families struggling to enter the market. A collaboration between NMIT and Habitat for Humanity means that students are upskilling and giving back to the community at the same time. Habitat for Humanity general manager Nick Clarke says, “Students are learning skills to build houses, while supporting people who haven’t got a home. It is effectively being financed by the support we get through Habitat’s ReStore and Nook Cafe.” More than 40 students are currently working on the project as part of a year-long course in carpentry. Tutor Alan Barnes says, “The whole thing is a massive challenge for our students as this is their first year and they are out here building houses which people will then go on to live in.” One of the stu-

dents, Tayla Billingsley, says, “I was hoping there would be more girls than just me on the course, and luckily there are eight. We make a really good team.” Alan says the girls on the course are some of the best and their organisational skills are standout among the building process. Once completed, the threebedroom houses will be re-

located to yet-to-be-chosen sites in the region as part of the progressive home-ownership programme. Families with a low to moderate income are eligible for the rent-to-buy scheme. In addition to the houses, the students are making six cabins which will follow a similar fate. Nick says the Cabins for Community project had

grown out of a need to come up with plans to address the housing crisis. They will provide transitional housing, the next step for people who had been in emergency housing. The charity is looking for organisations who have spare land for the community cabins and houses to be moved to. Email suggestions to nel sonadmin@habitat.org.nz.

Jacquetta honoured with Queen’s Service Medal Jonty Dine When Jacquetta Bell saw she had received an email from the Prime Minister’s office she assumed they were asking her for information about someone else. But the email was congratulating her on being awarded a Queen’s Service Medal. “It was a big surprise!” Jacquetta was honoured for her services to arts and the community. Her career has included working with and helping create iconic events such as the Readers and Writers programme at the Nelson Arts Festival and Smokefreerockquest. “I feel I’ve been privileged in my working life because I have had a lot of fun.” Jacquetta was a pioneer in the world of private radio, working for Fifeshire FM in the 80s. “It was quite radical, it felt very free and ground-breaking.” Through her Nelson Media Agency, Jacquetta has provided free services to voluntary organisations throughout the region from Light Nelson to the Brook Waimarama Sanc-

prominent voices calling for action against climate change in the 70s. “I have been on the radical fringe as far back as the Vietnam War and 1981 Springbok tour, people I have worked

with have tended to be on the right side of history.” Jacquetta’s work has also seen her develop some lasting relationships with some prominent figures. “My grandchildren don’t believe when I tell them Chris Mac from Six60 calls me ‘mate’.” Motueka’s Jan Riley was also a recipient of the Queen’s Service Medal for her volunteer work at the Nelson Tasman Hospice and the Nelson/Tasman Cancer Society for more than 30 years. Jan has held multiple roles across the hospice, including as a family support volunteer with patients for 22 years. She’s coordinated the Tree of Remembrance, an annual hospice promotion, for 18 years. Since 2013 she has been responsible for sending cards and letters to bereaved families in her area and coordinating the local raffle promotion. She established a service offering birthday flowers for patients and for more than 10 years has coordinated the Monday Club, a support group for patients and bereaved families.

School food available every day Jenny Nicholson Staff at Tapawera Area School have almost completely stopped needing to feed hungry children since the school joined the free Lunches in Schools programme at the start of this term. “The greatest change is in student social behaviour. They now gather to share lunch together, engaging in conversation as they eat,” says principal Kelvin Woodley.

provided to all students are required to be both delicious and nutritious. “Primary students are enjoying the variety in the lunches and being gently challenged to try new things. Not all students enjoy every meal but it is a very high percentage who do. Evidence of this is that waste is minimal most days. Certainly, the local pet pigs are not going to be overfed!” says Kelvin. The free lunches in schools are provided for lower decile schools and with Tapawera Area School being decile four, they were invited to join.

Ralph celebrates 100th half marathon Jenny Nicholson This month’s Kaiteriteri to Mapua (K2M) half marathon may have been wet and cold but it was a special occasion for 73-year-old local Ralph Bradley as he finished his 100th half marathon. “I did it in two hours 20. My first half was two hours two,” says Ralph. Along with the 100 half marathons, he has competed in 14 marathons, including the LA Marathon in 2015. He also received 35 medals at Masters Games competing in every running event. His first run in 1987 wasn’t planned. He was down from Gisbourne at a church conference and Tony Barnett had been

As a boy he was asthmatic and got red in the face and coughed and spluttered on exercise, so he wasn’t the fastest at school. In college he played a bit of rugby and soccer and joined harriers to run regularly. He says that running now seems to help keep him clear of asthma.

Local singers join composer Jenny Nicholson Composer Jessie Leov, working alongside a group of local singers, was the recipient of the SOUNZ Community Commission award leading to the creation of an original a cappella piece ‘Call of the Ocean’. The $2,000 SOUNZ award brings New Zealand professional composers and community groups together to create and perform a new work. This year, Jessie who was part of the Nelson Bays Harmony Chorus during her school years, approached the group and together they brainstormed ideas which Jessie then formed into a song and put

to music. “‘Jessie’s song’, as we call it, is more like a poem set to music and sung by us and it’s such an honour to perform it under her guidance,” says chorus member Carole Brown. Carole says the call of the ocean is something our island nation resonates with, whether it be the sound, feel, touch or smell. ‘Call of the Ocean’ will be performed at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts on Saturday 19 June. The chorus have recently returned from a successful National Barbershop Contest in Christchurch where they won the audience appreciation award. They will also perform this at the concert.

5 May 2021 ‘Wakefield fire crew challenge’ Wakefield firefighters James Rees and Robert Neame managed to complete the Auckland Sky Tower Challenge in 32.46 minutes and 18 minutes respectively. The team wore full firefighting kit weighing 25kg, and climbed 51 flights of stairs, totalling 1103 individual steps to the top of the 328-metre-tall tower. “The climb was harder then I had remembered, but was a good challenge,” says James. “It just means I have to put more effort into my training for next year.” They raised over $1,500 for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC).

‘It is a great satisfaction to me to part with all in Christian love, for I know not one to whom I owe any ill will.’ The Colonist noted that ‘great regret was expressed at the loss of one who, for so many years had been most energetic and diligent in forwarding the cause with which he was connected. His preaching has been faithful and his labours have been abundantly blessed. The people in the country, among whom he chiefly laboured, express regret for their loss.’ Decimus later returned to Nelson for a term of six years, and continued to visit the district afterwards. He laid the foundation stone of the new Baptist Church in 1896 and presided over the Baptists’ Jubilee in 1901. His obituary in the Colonist said, ‘He was remarkable for the simplicity of his faith and his loyalty to Jesus Christ.’ Decimus died in 1912 at the age of 93.

Just a thought... Dave Harris Christians Against Poverty Jiminy Cricket - remember this guy? He was Pinocchio’s friend who’d whisper in his ear when Pinocchio was starting to head down the wrong path. Pinocchio didn’t always listen to Jiminy Cricket and when he didn’t, things went wrong didn’t they? Who whispers into your ears? What are those thoughts? Where do those little voices come from that tell you you’re not doing well? Those voices that remind you that you raised your voice at your wife or said unkind things to your child. In the Gospel of John in the Bible, John talks about Jesus being the shepherd and the sheep know his voice. The sheep being you and me. He then talks about someone that comes into the sheep pen but not through the gate, through the back and he is a thief and a robber. In John 10:10. “The thief comes to kill, steal and destroy but I come am so they would have life and life to the full.” What Jesus is saying is that the one who comes to kill, steal and destroy

is the one who tells you you’re not good enough, you have failed again and others are doing better. Another thing we get lied to is about our finances and what we want versus what we need. You’ve worked hard so you deserve it. As Gemma a C.A.P. (Christrian Against Poverty) client says, “Before working with C.A.P., I used to spend money because I thought that was what made me happy. It would fill the gap for awhile then I’d slip back into being lonely.” So if you feel trapped at the moment with either finance constraints or from negative thoughts I suggest: Ring or text me on 021 1066967 and we can talk through some options for financial support. For those negative thoughts are holding you back, I challenge you this week to start talking to the one who came to give you life and life to the full rather than the thief. Prayer is talking with Jesus and he promised “to give you life and life to the full.” There’s is no formula. Just start with “Jesus, I need your help” and see what comes of it but do stop and listen.

Your Voice

Rex Collier Why are TDC wasting money on things that are not needed? I own a property on Darcy St and they put a speed bump outside my tenant’s bedroom window. This keeps my tenant awake at night, with cars basically stopping outside. Then speeding off. Once they put yellow lines on both sides of the hump will lose two car parks out on the street. This has devalued my property and lessened the rentability. It’s a waste of time and money that could be spent on better things. Push bikes are now riding on the foot path, so they don’t have to ride over the speed humps. These e-bikes go along at 35kmph. Only a matter of time before someone is run down. If speed is the problem, lower it. Put a speed bump outside all the councillors’ houses. See if they get any sleep.

“From small beginnings it has organically bloomed,” she laughs. The Nursery’s online plant catalogue offers up a who’s who of the native plant world. The extensive collection includes Totara, Matai, Rimu, red and white Kaka Beaks, Kowhai (including the dwarf variety) and Metrosideros excelsa ‘Maungapiko’, a cross between a Rata and Pohutakawa. There are a substantial array of grasses including the popu-

lar red and silver tussock along with sedges, toe toe and numeous others. There are hedging plants, flax, ferns, pungas and exotic trees and currently a great special on olive trees. The plants keep the staff very busy. “We love the variety,” says Jo. Due to The Nursery’s strong commitment to sustainability, many plants are grown in recycled plastic root trainers. “This makes them very affordable and we give great discounts for big-

ger quantities too,” Jo explains. “Team member Lou Peat’s specialty, landscaping, is a bonus”, she adds. “We are very happy to give advice on planting projects anyone has in mind.” Proud of its involvement with the Moutere Catchment Restoration project, The Nursery has provided thousands of native plants. If you are planting out a garden sanctuary and want to attract native birds or after a beautiful

specimen tree that will bring joy for many generations to come, a visit to this nursery hideaway is a must. It is also the place to go if you are planning a native restoration or riparian project.” “We would love to see you,” says Jo. “You will be assured of a warm and friendly welcome.” The Nursery at Tasman Bay is open Tuesday to Saturday. Opening hours can be found on their new website www.thenurs ery.nz.

Now that winter is here, planting season is in full swing. Tucked away in Horton Road, Tasman, The Nursery at Tasman Bay is a hidden gem which, over the last three years, has produced over one hundred thousand plants, mostly grown from local ecosourced seed. Established to provide plants for landscaping, it opened its doors to the public less than a year ago. “Local support has been great,” says staff member Jo Crawford.

T G Contracting T G Contracting, which has been owned by Tristan Graham since 2014, started out as an earthmoving business, then when Covid hit, they decided to branch into agricultural work. “At that time, there was another company for sale, so we bought the majority of their gear to try and carry on working through Covid,” says Tristan. Because agriculture is an essential service, T G Contracting was able to retain its nine staff members which allowed them to continue paying their mortgages, etc. The company has good quality gear for all kinds of agricultural work. “We have loader wagons and medium square and round balers which are pretty new, which allows us to work faster,” says Tristan. “Contact us and we’ll try to schedule the work in around your requirements.” The dedicated team at T G Contracting can travel anywhere in the Nelson Tasman region. “Last year, we ended up in Havelock still baling at midnight and we worked in Rai Valley several times.” To arrange to have some work done, call Tristan on 027 688 5699 or email tgcon tracting@kinect.co.nz.

The company has ‘pretty thick ties’ with the Wanderers Rugby Club. “I played for several years but had to give it up due to too many concussions. We previously employed a couple of Tongan boys who played for the club; one of which has recently joined the Tongan international training team.” A few of the team at Jak Construction enjoy racing motorbikes, so the business sponsors a couple of promising young motorcyclists.

The ladies’ pairs were won by Jojo Coleman and Zarrie Wood from Cashmere Club and the singles won by Larissa Devine from Kaiapoi Club.

In the open competition there were 54 pairs and 132 single entries. The Open pairs was won by Simon Singleton and Neil Whalley from Cashmere Club and the singles was won by Ceri Worts of Clubs Marlborough.

Nelson Harmony Chorus If you have ever been at Club Waimea on a Thursday night, you may have heard some angelic singing coming from the main hall. Those are the sweet sounds of Nelson Bays Harmony, an enthusiastic bunch of women ranging in age from late teens through to octogenarians who just love to sing and perform. Their members travel from as far afield as Atawhai in the north, Wakefield in the south and even from the very top of the Takaka Hill for weekly rehearsals. Some of these women have come from a musical background, some not, some have sung at church or at school talent contests, karaoke or even dabbled in a little bit, or a lot, of acting, but they all have one thing in common, their love of everything musical. The members will tell you, rehearsals, although important for vocal production/learning, are also a great way to connect not only voices, but with each other personally. Even Covid 19 did not hold this group back. During lockdown, week-

ly zoom rehearsals were held, which proved invaluable in keeping connections alive and enabling check ins on members that may have been living alone or needed a distraction from essential work. Level 2 saw the group resume Thursday night rehearsals albeit with social distancing restrictions in place, and Level 1 saw this team of wonder women back to full rehearsals at the Club. “If anything, Covid has made us more motivated to get together and connect with each other, when it is safe, to sing and have fun. Something other choirs/choruses around the world unfortunately couldn’t do as quickly as we could.” Now they have something extra special to celebrate, Nelson Bays Harmony have recently returned from a national barbershop contest in Christchurch sporting a brandnew medal – the Audience Choice Award! At the contest, the group presented a singing and acting package that championed fair pay, equal treatment, and better workplace conditions for women with

a mix of show tunes and pop songs. The award was made even more special as their performance was judged by their musical peers on not only musicality but also showmanship and entertainment, and now, they are preparing to bring this award-winning performance to a local Nelson/ Tasman Audience. Upcoming Shows are: • The Call of the Ocean Premiere, Nelson Centre of Musical Arts, 19 June, 7pm • Melodies in Mapua, Mapua Community Hall, 11 July, Matinee Performance Tickets to the NCMA performance are available from the NCMA website or their box office. Tickets to Melodies in Mapua can be purchased by text or call to 0274360910. $15. Door sales available. If you want to find your own musical outlet, or want to learn to sing, feel free to visit one of Nelson Bays Harmony’s rehearsals held every Thursday night from 7pm at Club Waimea or visit their website at www.nelsonharmony.org.nz. All enquiries are welcome.

Alex Honey on his way to score a stunning solo try for Waimea Combined against Nelson College in the Miles Toyota Championship at Waimea College on Saturday. Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport

A stunning first-half performance from Nelson College blew local rivals Waimea Combined away in the latest round of the Crusaders Championship last week. Nelson ran in six tries to put the result to bed before the break, but Waimea Combined managed to square the second half. Alex Honey was a standout for Waimea, scoring a superb solo try and setting up another. Alex says the will take plenty of confidence into their remaining matches. Coach Jono Phillips says, “Marlborough did us a favour, the boys got a real confidence knock last week and needed to come back strong and they did, that first half was magnificent for us.” Dylan Irvine put in an immense shift at hooker for Nelson while Will Thornalley was all class at halfback. Jono credited the Waimea team who could have easily dropped their heads facing a 42-0 deficit. Nelson skipper Ollie Inch opened the scoring as he finished off a slick backline move before Thornalley plucked an intercept

from Tony Sproul’s lineout pass and streaked 50 metres to go in under the bar. Nic Sauira went in next, Nelson’s third in the opening 10 minutes, with the fullback showing his fleet footwork to evade three defenders. Jake Neal was shown a yellow card for a foul after he illegally played the ball on the ground. The visitors took immediate advantage with Luc Waterman-Thomas producing a deft offload for Reegan Lawton to waltz in for the bonus point try. Sauira went in for his second shortly after before a Hunter Leppien back flick to locking partner Joseph Domoni gave Nelson its sixth and a 42-0 halftime lead. After the break, Alex Honey scored a brilliant solo try. Nelson struck back through flanker Jake Burridge. Honey set up a second for the hosts with another dazzling run before linking with winger Daniel Hawley but Leppien brought up the half century with a well-deserved try after Cooper Grant’s line break. Waimea had the final say, with lock Lawson Inglis scoring from a lineout move to tie the second half scores at 21-all.

Kahurangi make history in clinic against Nelson Jonty Dine Kahurangi has made history after winning the Nelson sub-union title for the first time and with a round to spare. The side sent a strong statement to its competition ahead of the Tasman Trophy play offs in two weeks’ time with an emphatic victory over the struggling Nelson

on Saturday. Kahurangi ran in 13 tries in a clinical display of attacking rugby for an 83-19 win. Skipper Manu Parkin says, while it’s satisfying to lock away some silverware, his side wants to make more history in the coming weeks. “It’s nowhere near over, this is not our end goal. We still have two games left and need to finish strong.”

Manu empathised with Nelson who have been decimated with injury and player unavailability. ‘’We have been there and it’s a tough spot to be in as a club, but they have boys showing up each week and I’m sure they’ll get some more in next season.” Led by the masterly Willy Havili up against his old club, Kahurangi ran riot at

Waimea Weekly Locally Owned and Operated

Trafalgar Park, scoring a bonus point after just 15 minutes of play. Havili was in supreme form as he produced 19-points including a brilliant solo try. The former college star says it is a special moment for the club. “It is a first for Kahurangi which is pretty good, but we are not satisfied yet.”

Sport

Yvonne West A real ‘old fashioned’ cross country course delighted the field of over 90 runners and walkers as they competed in the inaugural ‘Scarecrow Scamper’ course at the Bonny’s farm, Tapawera, on Saturday. Both the shorter 1.75km per lap course for the children and the longer 3.25km per lap course for the adults proved very challenging with streams to cross, hills to climb, slippery areas of mud, cow pats to navigate around and generally rough terrain. However, the parents, grandparents and friends supporting from the sidelines, gave great encouragement to the 27 children and adult participants alike. Line honours in this Event went to: 1st Junior 1 lap, Rachel Brown; 1st Junior 2 laps, Isaac Bonny; 1st Senior 2 laps, Noah Lausen; 1st Walker 2 laps, Alan West; 1st Senior 3 laps, Matt Ogden. Despite the difficult terrain, runners and walkers enjoyed the challenge this course provided. They also appreciated the variety in the
