Opportunity for home ownership from Habitat for Humanity

Working to provide decent, affordable housing for families in need Habitat for Humanity is seeking local partner families for two three-bedroom homes in Motueka through their Assisted Home Ownership Programme.

Applicants, who must live in the Motueka region, need to have a genuine housing need and unable to qualify for a conventional mortgage.

Habitat for Humanity’s Assisted Home Ownership Programme gives families a hand-up to a simple, decent home. It’s a hand-up, not a hand-out, and all families involved invest 500 hours of their own time (sweat equity) to build their own home, providing an pathway to home ownership for the many people otherwise locked out of the market.

Home ownership changes every aspect of a family’s life. Owning a home is different from renting.

With the home purchase comes the pride of ownership, a sense of belonging and most of all stability. Secure housing improves a family’s well-being and allows the family to stay in a neighbourhood for as long as they want and become an on-going contributor to their community.

In New Zealand home ownership num-

bers are decreasing and the costs for owning a home are going up. For many kiwi families an own home remains out of reach. Through the Assisted Home Ownership Programme from Habitat, owning a home becomes a reality.

Once their home is completed the family makes affordable

regular repayments to Habitat on a no profit basis. Habitat’s rent-then-buy model helps families build up a deposit which they can use when seeking independent finance and buy their home from Habitat.

To register your interest you need to attend a meeting at Motueka’s Alive Church at either

10.30am, 4pm or 7pm on Thursday, 3 December or at 10.30am on Saturday, 5 December. Please contact nelson@habitat.org. nz

Application forms will only be available to families who attend the meeting.

Bigger and better Top of the South Film Festival returns

The popular Top of the South Film Festival is set to return this month with another top line-up of films and organisers claiming it’ll be “bigger and better than ever”.

The annual film festival, screening at Motueka’s State Cinema, presents the best short films produced in our stunning region during the past year, from drama to documentaries, horror to comedy, thriller to romance, music videos to science fiction.

This year they’re introducing their Young Top of the South Filmmakers screening event for the first time. The best work from year 3 –year 10 students will screen on Saturday, 28 November in Motueka’s State Cinema.

This will be followed by the ‘Gold Reel’ 6pm screening on Sunday, 29 November where the best short films from adults in our region will be showcased, preceded by a fun ‘red carpet’ event at 5pm with kai and beverage.

It will be the Festival’s 6th year of

presenting local film making and during this time they’ve established themselves as one of New Zealand’s most promising and unique young film festivals.

The TS Film Festival focuses on film submissions from Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough and Kaikoura residents and gives these aspiring regional filmmakers an opportunity to premiere their films on the big screen.

The 5 minute 31 second film, The Collector, was shot at dawn over two mornings at Lake Rotoiti in the Nelson Lakes National Park.

Directed by Daniel Allen, again he teamed up with writer Paul Hargreaves to make another emotive short film, produced by Janice Emery.

Simplicity was the key with Daniel and Paul covering all production and cast roles respectively when

they filmed in August this year. Set in the near future, the ultimate prize arrives for a reclusive collector.

Screenings began in Blenheim last weekend, continue in Nelson this weekend and in Motueka over 28 and 29 November, before concluding in Kaikoura on December, 12.

Oil spill rapidly contained

A member of the public alerted the Tasman District Council recently to an oil spill in the Woodlands Creek at Old Wharf Road (below).

Upon investigation staff saw a thick black oil slick extending about 10 metres of the waterway above the Old Wharf Road

bridge. Fortunately the tide was fully in and on the slack so staff were able to shut the flood gates under the bridge to fully contain the oil. A full clean-up was undertaken with a sucker truck employed to remove the waste oil and deployment of booms and absorbent

pads to ensure the capture of any remaining oil.

The oil looked to be used black engine oil from a vehicle sump. The source of the oil is unknown. This may have been an individual case of oil being deliberately dumped into the environment or it could have been

accidental.

With the excessively heavy rain of late any containers of used oil left out in the open would fill up and oil floating to the top of the container would overflow and drain into stormwater and out to our waterways. If you have a waste oil container please ensure it

is undercover or has a lid on it to prevent rain water filling up.

If you ever see our waterways looking like this please contact the TDC immediately by phoning 03 543 8400. This number is monitored 24/7. The faster these things are acted on, the more chance of containment.

Top tips for ‘Closing the Sale’

Even as a youngster Garry Sefton had a knack for sales, when together with his brothers he hawked items from a roadside stall.

That was just the beginning of what would eventually become a long and successful car salesman’s career.

Now Garry’s compiled his years of experience into an entertaining and informative book, ‘Closing the Sale, Kiwi Style’.

“To be a successful salesperson takes two things. You need to enjoy meeting people and believe in the product you’re selling, if you can do that you’re there,” says Garry.

Retiring 4 years ago, Garry immediately sat down and wrote “straight from the heart, straight away”, before shelving it.

Recently he decided to revisit what he’d written and upon realising there was a wealth of knowledge shared in the pages that would assist even the most astute salesperson right down to those starting out, he had it edited and printed.

“The whole process has been a lot of fun, I’ve written it as a sort of guide to help young ones coming through.”

The book, full of good, true and funny stories and also very good principles for selling is available now and will motivate readers to be better salespeople says Garry.

Having sold around 67,000 cars over his

career, Garry is wellplaced to present a sales bible of sorts and is intending on travelling throughout New Zealand showcasing and selling his book.

“It’s good timing with so many unemployed and others looking for career changes. Seventy-five percent of people working in New Zealand are in a job they don’t like.

There’s a big market there for those wanting a change.”

He’ll also visit real estate agents, car dealers and salespeople in various stores, offering them the opportunity to purchase his book and increase their sales through the knowledge they’ll glean from within its pages.

Proud of his career

for helping in “a small way” toward putting better and safer cars on our roads by bringing in Japanese imports, Garry says the only downside there was they were “faster vehicles for the young ones”. Garry’s book is available for $30 per copy and can be purchased by emailing sefton4@ gmail.com

Lynn Palmer Leeston “Kaiteriteri, it’s golden and always pristine.”

Derek Mehlhopt Picton “Waikawa, it’s soothing and relaxing.”

Verena Braun Queenstown “My favourite beach is Mount Maunganui.”

Drawing on decades of experience as a successful car salesman Motueka’s Garry Sefton has written an entertaining and informative book to motivate people to be better at sales,

Tasman School returning E.T. to the big screen

It’s an absolute classic and now Tasman School is providing you with the opportuinity to once again see much-loved family movie E.T. on the big screen.

E.T.: The ExtraTerrestrial remains one of the world’s most loved and outstanding family movies and on Friday evening there’s an opportunity to catch it on the big screen in Motueka.

As a fundraising initiative Tasman School is showing the classic family movie at 6pm in Motueka’s State Cinema. Open to everyone, tickets are $15 and available from the

School’s office. The film is a beautiful exploration of a unique friendship, one of cinemas most enduring, with themes of loyalty, trust and caring.

When alien botanists secretly visit earth under the cover of night to gather plant specimens in a California forest, government agents appear on the scene sending the aliens fleeing in their space-

ship, but in their haste one of them is left behind.

The kind extra-terrestrial remains one of the most recognisable creatures in movie history, and that is due to director Steven Spielberg’s genius. Not only is the movie a fantastic sci-fi adventure with unforgettable images but it’s also a touching family drama.

Nearly four decades since its release E.T.

continues to tug at heartstrings and prove Spielberg is a master storyteller.

Catch this classic on Friday night while supporting one of our local schools at the same time.

Motueka’s award-winning Auto Shoppe team

The team from Auto Super Shoppe Motueka were “stoked” to scoop the Excellence in Marketing and Promotions award at the annual Auto Super Shoppes awards in Auckland on Friday, 6 November.

Already a multiaward winning business, owned and operated by Paul Hawkes, they’re dedicated to delivering the highest level of service to customers. The business was established

in 2006 and is run with a successful team of highly-experienced technicians who have a vast collective experience in the automotive industry.

“We’re absolutely stoked to have been awarded this. Becs is a marketing guru. They said that we encompassed everything about the promotion of the Auto Super Shoppe brand so we’re really happy,” says Paul.

Auto Super Shoppes national

business manager

Kellie Tremayne says the Motueka crew beat tough competition from more than 100 other Auto Super Shoppes to win the award.

“Auto Super Shoppe Motueka demonstrated a high-level of creativity in their marketing by coming up with new ideas and initiatives and getting them off the ground. They’ve tackled their marketing well, regularly, professionally and made it fun as well,” says Kellie.

S&P Global confirms Tasman’s AA rating

Tasman District Council has had its S&P Global AA rating confirmed. Released on Friday, 30 October, the rating does however come with a new outlook.

Shifting from the previous rating of ‘AA with a stable outlook’ to a confirmed ‘AA rating with a negative outlook’ is not wholly unexpected, says Tasman Mayor Tim King.

“In taking advantage of the Government’s stimulus funding and our own increased investment post Covid we have taken on a

larger capital program which has to be paid for.”

The confirmed rating is set in the following conditions; a higher level of investment in infrastructure will require increased debt, which combined with the need to fund the Waimea Dam con-

struction, is balanced by the Council’s ‘solid financial management, exceptional liquidity coverage and the country’s excellent institutional settings’.

In reality the rating does not alter the Council’s ability to raise finance for its increased capital pro-

gram nor should it increase finance costs to the ratepayer.

“While the outlook has shifted, the confirmed rating and the confidence S&P Global have in the Council’s financial controls should provide ratepayers with confidence.”

New Countdown collectable programme goes digital to save 80 million paper stamps from landfill

In a first for Countdown, its brand new glassware containers collectable programme will be run entirely digitally, to save more than 80 million paper stamps from being printed and ultimately thrown away.

With a key focus on reducing waste this summer, Countdown will be giving away thousands of top-quality glassware containers which can be used for baking, freezing, re-heating, serving and storage, helping to reduce food waste at home.

The re:fresh by Boost premium seven-piece stackable glassware containers comes in various shapes and sizes and is made from tempered borosilicate glass that makes it safe to use in the oven and grill (without the lid), microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. The plastic lid includes a four hinge locking mechanism and silicone seal, helping to keep food fresh, and a steam vent to cook or reheat food in the microwave.

Launched on Monday, 9 November, Countdown customers will receive an eStamp when they use their registered Onecard for every $20 spent in-store or online and the eStamps will automatically load to their Onecard. Their tally will appear either on the bottom of their till receipt, by downloading the myCountdown app or by signing into their Onecard account on the Countdown website. Customers will need a minimum of 20 eStamps to collect a glass container. Bonus eStamps can be earned when customers purchase participating products.

Countdown’s Acting Managing Director,

Sally Copland, says customers have a busy few months ahead of them and will be looking for ways to get the most value from their shop.

“Every year, New Zealanders send more than 150,000 tonnes of food waste to landfill, much of which could be eaten. It’s not only wasting hard-earned money, but food waste is also one of the biggest carbon contributors when it sits rotting in landfill.

“That’s why we’re committed to supporting those who are looking to make every meal count with storage solutions that will mean less food waste, but also help our customers’ shopping go further.

“The reality is that collectable programmes themselves can also create waste, with millions and millions of stamps produced that then are simply thrown away. We want to support reducing all waste, whether that’s food or the way we’re collecting. The containers are a practical kitchen staple that customers can enjoy long after the Christmas season ends and we think our customers will embrace digital collecting as well,” says Sally.

Customers can also purchase additional re:fresh by Boost Glass Containers outright without taking part in the promotion, both in-store and online.

The campaign runs from 9 November to 31 January 2021. Customers can redeem their eStamps up until 14 February 2021 or while stocks last.

Police Report

Hi All,

Police are investigating a number of recent thefts in the Motueka area over the past two weeks. There have been two separate reports of utes being stolen, one from a Moffatt Street property on 5 November and the other from a Riwaka Valley Road property on 7 November.

There have been three recent reports of cars being broken into at the Able Tasman car park off Harvey Road in Marahau.

Police also responded to reports of two boats being broken into between 1 and 7 November, as they were moored in the Motueka Estuary. A range of items were taken from each boat. These reports are a timely reminder to keep your property secure at all times. Vehicle theft and interference is often an opportunistic crime and you can minimise the risk of having your car stolen or broken into by ensuring vehicles are secured and locked.

It’s important to take your valuables with you when you leave your vehicle, including electronics, bags, jewellery and wallets.

If you have to leave things in your vehicle, do not leave them in plain sight.

It’s also worth considering using a steering lock which can be a great deterrent. Police ask that anyone who has information about any of these thefts and can help the Police investigations to call 105.

Regards, Hamish Chapman Senior Sergeant, Nelson Bays Police

Bowers reunite in Motueka

More than 85 members of the Bowers family gathered in Motueka during the last weekend in October to reunite for the first time in 20 years.

They are descend-

ants of John Bowers who had Hotel Motueka before his son Fredrick and wife Daphne took it over, going on to run the popular hotel for 53 years.

Their daughter,

Molly Saunders (88), is the only surviving child of Fredrick and Daphne’s six children and says the family reunion was “lovely, a real laugh”.

On the Friday evening 20 first cous-

ins gathered at the Motueka RSA and Molly’s niece, Ann Riley, says there was a lot to catch up on after 20 years.

“It was awesome, just wonderful to be together again,” says

Ann.

Saturday saw everybody enjoy the local area, either biking, walking or enjoying further catch ups before meeting at Toad Hall for an evening event where they paid tribute

to Molly, and a family representative from each of Fredrick and Daphne’s six children spoke about what had happened within their family over the last 20 years.

“It took me well over

a week to recover. It was so lovely, we laughed from the word go,” says Molly.

The family reunion concluded with an “enjoyable” BBQ lunch on Sunday at a family’s local home.

The Bowers family enjoy their Sunday catchup. Inset: Molly Saunders.

Covid-19 impacts on local Ecological, Tourist and Conservation Groups

Recently several local business and volunteer groups met at Community House with Green party coleader, James Shaw (left), to share their concerns and offer suggestions for overcoming tourism, ecological and conservation issues in this region. This included future high value international tourism with robust Covid 19 border security but also low environmental impacts.

Increased funding is being accessed by some groups including the Tasman Environmental Trust. That funding gives reality to thinking projects the Trust constantly receives applications for. It also creates the possibility of paid jobs while also supporting a long term focus on environmental recovery.

A particular concern from climate change is soil management and a lack of accessible

scientific expertise. The impact of more and longer droughts makes sustainable land management urgent and essential to both the economy and our natural environment.

The Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust and Friends of Flora acknowledged the support provided by tourist operators in the park. Marahau Sea Kayaks and Aqua Taxis willingly move volunteers around the park for trapping and planting work.

Predator control in existing forests enables taller trees and deeper canopies thus sequestering more carbon. There is the possibility of a new category of carbon credits in the Emissions Trading Scheme to recognise the value of predator control.

It was observed that Ecotourism businesses have been affected unevenly by the Covid19 impact. More tools

for engagement are required at the local government level rather than overly prescriptive rules.

New Zealanders are now spending tourist dollars at home rather than offshore. This raised the question; What is sustainable tourism? One participant cited the business and retail activity that regularly happens at Mapua Wharf, predominantly supported by locals. Because the Nelson/Tasman region is not on the official tourist route its economies are more service focused.

In the wake of Freedom camping provisions it is important that rate payers are not left to pick up all the costs. West Coast Tasman is recognised as having a small rate paying capacity. One well received suggestion

was that an explicit portion of GST from the tourist spend could be returned to the service providers or to their local government. James says that $1.3 billion allocated in the Green budget or the equivalent of 13,000 full time jobs is being effectively rolled out and that he is determined to achieve real benefits for both employment and nature conservation. The bulk of that fund is being used in the next eighteen months.

The to and fro discussion at this meeting allowed many good ideas to flow both between providers, and with James. There were both great stories of practical collaborations and a meeting of minds on where to next. However, several eco-tourism businesses reported closure and their expertise will sadly be lost.

Lifeguards prepare for a busy summer

Surf Lifeguards around the country are bracing themselves for what could be the busiest lifesaving season on record as New Zealanders face a summer without the option of overseas holidays.

Covid-19 travel restrictions mean many Kiwis will be planning “staycations” this summer and SLSNZ volunteer Surf Lifeguards are encouraging beachgoers to familiarise themselves with key safety messages.

SLSNZ Chief Executive, Paul Dalton, says the charity’s volunteer Surf Lifeguards are passionate, highly-skilled individuals who pride themselves on keeping people safe at the beach. However, he cautions that it’s not possible for Surf Lifeguards to be everywhere at once.

“Our Surf Lifeguards do an extraordinary job – they conduct hundreds of rescues and perform thousands of preventative actions on our beaches every year,” he says.

“However, we’re

anticipating this summer to be incredibly busy. Tragically, we have already seen two fatalities in the last fortnight alone as people get out and enjoy the coastal environment.

We’re asking New Zealanders to do their part by choosing to go to lifeguarded beaches, and always swim between the red and yellow flags.”

Paul says several recent incidents have involved people climbing on – or fishing from – rocks and that it’s important for people to exercise caution, even if they’re just exploring the coastline. Anyone fishing from the rocks should wear a lifejacket.

“If you see someone in trouble in the water, remember to call 111 and ask for the police,” he says.

“The police have a direct line to Surf Lifesaving.”

Surf Lifeguards patrol over 90 locations throughout Aotearoa at the peak of summer. This long weekend marks the official start of Patrol Season for many sites, including popular beaches in

Northland, Auckland, the Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty. Additional patrols will roll out later in the season as warmer weather sets in.

Paul says one of the best ways that beachgoers can support Surf Lifeguards over the busy summer season is by familiarising themselves with the key safety messages outlined below.

“Our volunteer Surf Lifeguards play a vital role in the communities they serve. We want everyone who visits the beach this summer to make it home to their loved ones at the end of the day.”

Keep yourself and your loved ones safe at the beach by remembering these Beach Basics:

1. Choose a lifeguarded beach & swim between the red & yellow flags.

2. If caught in a rip, remember the 3Rs Rip Survival Plan: RELAX & float to conserve energy, RAISE your hand to signal

for help & RIDE the rip until it stops and you can swim back to shore or help arrives.

3. Look for, read and understand the safety signs – ask a surf lifeguard for advice as beach conditions change.

4. Always keep a very close eye on young children in or near the water. Keep children within arm’s reach at all times.

5. Know your limits. Don’t overestimate your ability in the water or your children’s ability to cope in the conditions.

6. Never swim, fish or surf alone.

7. If in doubt, stay out of the water!

8. When fishing from rocks, always wear a lifejacket & shoes with grip & don’t turn your back to the sea.

9. If you see someone in trouble, call 111 & ask for the Police as they have a direct line to Surf Lifesaving.

10. Be sun smart. Slip, slop, slap & wrap. Protect your skin and eyes from the sun’s damaging rays.

Melonie Price, fondly known as Mel, is the type of person you instantly warm to. She’s a pocket rocket full of the most infectious positive energy. It’s no wonder this extraordinary business woman has owned and operated the highly successful Rev Hair and Beauty for two decades. Mel and her hard working team’s dedication to first-class skilled service and amazing hair styling is the secret to the success of this popular local business.

Rev Hair & Beauty, located at 186 High Street are proudly celebrating their 20th anniversary. It’s been quite a journey for Mel and her team, but this tight knit group have worked hard to ensure their clients enjoy an incredible experience and in return Rev Hair & Beauty have a reputation as one of Motueka’s top hair salons.

At the start of the new millennium, in the year 2000, Mel and her sister Jessica brought Rev Hair & Beauty. At the time Mel was just 22 years old and Jessica sixteen. It was quite an undertaking for a young hairdresser and Mel quickly got up to speed learning all the skills need to run a small business. Nicknamed “Little Rev”, the initial location of the studio was at 238 High St, next to Super Liquor.

On the 21 March 2005 everything changed, when a large fire broke out at Super Liquor. Luckily, thanks to a firewall between the two buildings Rev Hair & Beauty was spared from any stock loss, but they did have to relocate.

The girls found an old Doctors Surgery at 13 Tudor Street and worked hard for over four weeks to refurbish it into Rev Hair & Beauty. During those weeks of transformation, Mel would cut clients hair from her kitchen while Jessica carried out mobile hairdressing services. Finally the building was ready and what has now been nicknamed as “Doctor Rev” was up and running.

Six years later it was time for another transformation, Rev had outgrown their Tudor Street premises. A property became available at 186 High Street, Mel decided it would be the ideal location for Rev Hair & Beauty. In June 2011 Mel and her team opened their current hair studio and haven’t looked back.

Walking into Rev Hair & Beauty in High Street it’s reminiscent of a salon in Auckland or Wellington CBD.

Mel has created an environment where hairstyles are not just changes and transformations but a whole experience and treatment for a client’s soul and mood. You’ll discover inviting and comfortable surroundings dotted with hints of glamour from the sparkling chandeliers to the striking black and white feature wall. Rev Hair & Beauty subtly represents every client’s dream of a tranquil haven, where your locks are treated in a relaxing, private peaceful setting. Such a well thought out setting lets a hair stylist’s creative spirit to shine and allows a client to unwind and enjoy the Rev experience.

Did you know Mel has only had five staff in the twenty years she has been in business? This is an absolute testament to her management style and warm personality. She is really is a ray of sunshine it’s no wonder her staff thoroughly enjoy being part of Rev Hair & Beauty.

Mel has a generous nature and last week as part of Rev’s birthday celebrations she kindly gifted some of her clients birthday treats; sending them home with not only a gorgeous hair style but also with wine and chocolates.

“I want people to walk into Rev Hair & Beauty and bounce out,” say’s Mel with her heart-warming smile.

Mel and the team at Rev Hair & Beauty would like to say an enormous thank you to all of their past, present and future clients for supporting them over the years. Some of you have become like extended family to them. It’s been said that there is no better therapy than sitting in a hairdressers chair, and at Rev Hair & Beauty you’ll not only be treated to a professional hair dressing service but also a relaxing stress free experience.

Our regions favourite Keto destination

All across the region people flock to Kylie’s Coffee at the clock tower corner for her mouth-watering range of fresh food and warm hospitality. Owner Kylie Quinn is now proud to offer a Keto supermarket to her facilities ensuring all of your Keto dietary requirements are satisfied. You’ll discover a wide range of delicious fare, but it’s the Keto food made fresh on site which keeps people coming back for more. Kylie and her hard working team are currently celebrating two years in business, if you haven’t discover Kylie’s Coffee you are missing out.

Keto is healthy, delicious and nutrious

A keto or ketogenic diet has many benefits for weight loss, health, and performance, as shown in over 50 studies. That’s why it’s recommended by so many doctors. A keto diet can be especially useful for losing excess body fat without hunger and for improving type two diabetes.

A keto diet produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. It’s referred to as many different names –ketogenic diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat etc. When you eat something high in carbs, your body will produce glucose and insulin.

Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy so that it will be chosen over any other energy source. Insulin is produced to process the glucose in your bloodstream by taking it around the body. Since the glucose is being used as a primary energy, your fats are not needed and are therefore stored.

Typically on a normal, higher carbohydrate diet, the body will use glucose as the main form of energy. By lowering the intake of carbs, the body is induced into a state known as ketosis.

Ketosis is a natural process the body initiates to help us survive when food intake is low. During this state, we produce ketones, which are produced from the breakdown of fats in the liver. The end goal of a properly maintained keto diet is to force your body into this metabolic state. We don’t do this through starvation of calories but starvation of carbohydrates.

Our bodies are incredibly adaptive to what you put into it – when you overload it with fats and take away carbohydrates, it will begin to burn ketones as the primary energy source. Optimal ketone levels offer many health, weight loss, physical and mental performance benefit.

It’s a common misconception that you’ll be eating boring and bland food when you’re on a ketogenic diet. The Keto food at Kylie’s Coffee is fresh, flavoursome and delicious, from savoury snacks to sweet treats you will certainly find something to satisfy your taste buds.

People looking to start the keto diet should seek consultation with a doctor and check if they have diabetes, hypoglycaemia, heart disease, or any other health conditions to ensure the keto diet is a safe eating pattern.

A venue for your next meeting

Kylie’s Coffee and Food is possibly the only café in Motueka with a private meeting room and it’s free to use. What a fabulous resource for your next club or group meeting. The meeting room seats around 10, it’s very popular and well utilised by a number of individuals and organisations. There’s a spacious table allowing plenty of room to layout any paperwork or notes. Bookings are encouraged, simply give the team a call to find out more.

More than a café

As mentioned earlier Kylie has recently introduced a Keto supermarket to her popular café where customers can pick up ingredients to satisfy their Keto needs at home.

Successful All-in-Academy for touch players

SoulUtionz Sports Trust partnered with some of the regions most experienced Touch talent to host the 2020 Touch All-inAcademy.

Based at Motueka High School the team took two sessions every Sunday from October, 18 to November, 1 catering to tamariki aged 8-11 and rangatahi aged 12 and older.

SoulUtionz academies are based on the

essence of elements, each session relates to an element such as Whenua, meaning Earth which focuses on fundamental skills and progresses through to Wai, meaning Water which focuses on the flow of attacking principles, ‘drives, drags and dives’.

Each stage has a core focus which is then applied in games where the youth can show off what they’ve learned.

The final Academy session wrapped up with thank-yous to supporters, juicies to cool off and an awesome prize draw where everyone was in to win.

After a short break the games began which was open to all youth in the region.

Giving players the opportunity to be selected for U12 girls and boys, and U14 girls and boys to represent Motueka

at the upcoming Tahunanui Junior Touch Development Tournament in Nelson 14-15 November.

SoulUtionz Sports directors Terina Graham and Joe Wineera wish to thank all the youth that showed up for the Academy sessions, and the awesome All-in-Academy coaching team, Bevan Thompson, Weesang Paaka, Mackenzie Taikato, Shannen

Smith and Culainn Stringer plus support crew Pam Graham and Bec Bryan. Our events are made possible with the support of Greg and the team at NBS, Motueka High School, Sport Tasman KiwiSport funding and New World Motueka.

TAS opens school cycling track

Over $669,000 of Sport NZ’s community resilience fund allocated across the top of the South region

More than 100 play, active recreation and sport organisations across the Sport Tasman region have received a total of $669,597 funding from Sport NZ’s $15 million Community Resilience Fund Phase 2 to help alleviate the financial impact from COVID-19. The fund, which closed on 30 September, is part of the $265 million Sports Recovery Package announced at Budget 2020 and focused on providing support to help play, active recreation and sport organisations recover, rebuild and grow stronger as a result of COVID-19.

The fund was increased from $10 million to $15 million due to the volume of applications received over the first few weeks. A total of 2,070 organisations across the county have received funding to cover fixed and operational costs for the period 1 July 2020 to 30 September 2020.

to continue to deliver activities and programmes that have a key role in maintaining individual and community health and wellbeing.”

The Community Resilience Fund Phase 2 was distributed on behalf of Sport NZ by the county’s network of 14 Regional Sports Trusts, and Sport Tasman CEO Nigel Muir says it has been great to see regional bodies supported by the fund.

“The importance of being physically active for our personal wellbeing has never been so critical. Covid 19 has had a significant impact on many organisations across our sector. The financial support we are able to extend though this fund has been gratefully received by many struggling community groups.”

For a few months Tapawera Area School (TAS) dreamed of having a cycle track around their entire playing field, as an off-shoot to the Great Taste Trail, and now that dream has become reality with the track officially opened recently, a week before the Tapawera Great Taste Trail section.

The track was made possible after Aaryn Barlow (NMDHB) offered funding from Bikes in Schools

and Lotto via the DHB proactive programmes.

Tapawera Sport and Recreation and Friends of the School contributed top-up funds toward the project.

“We’re grateful to all of these groups for their support. To have the TAS track linked to the Great Taste Cycleway, which has just finished construction run-pass, at the back of the school is a bonus,” says TAS prin-

cipal, Kelvin Woodley.

Chris Mildon designed and built the track in turn creating an exciting and challenging experience for riders.

“It was great to have both Aaryn and Chris present for the opening and to cut the ribbon,” says Kelvin.

“We now have a facility which will serve the school well for many years to come.

Thank you one and all.”

Organiser of the

opening day, Mrs Grant, says the school was on “fire” for the opening.

“Wow, what a fantastic event. I felt very proud to be part of Tapawera Area School with all the help, enthusiasm and leadership evident leading up to and on the big opening day. Well done to all the riders with each house riding over 40 laps in just one hour,” says Mrs Grant.

“What a superb effort and some great

jumps too. Thanks everyone!”

For student Jesse Hook one of the opening day’s highlights was being able to spend time in their schoolhouses.

“As the Tadmor house leader, along with a junior pupil I got to plant a tree that represented our house, it was a good bonding time,” says Jesse. “It was a great afternoon biking around and spending time with the younger students.”

“The fund built on the previous Community Resilience Fund Phase One, in which a total of $6 million was awarded to nearly 2,000 clubs and regional organisations to cover fixed costs. This second resilience fund provided an opportunity for further support, but this time allowing applications of up to $25,000 to cover both fixed and operational costs,” says Sport NZ CEO, Peter Miskimmin.

“The broadening of the eligibility criteria from the previous Community Resilience Fund has meant more organisations were able to apply for support, including applicants that were not affiliated to Sport NZ national partners.

This has helped a wider range of community organisations

The Community Resilience Fund Phase 2 is part of a much broader recovery programme being managed by Sport NZ to help the sector through the impact of COVID-19.

Other initiatives include the $68 million Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund for communitybased programmes and projects helping children and young people get active, as well as additional investment to provide ongoing support for Sport NZ’s national partners and their national leagues and key programmes.

In addition, Sport NZ’s Exceptional Systems Support Fund provided $1.88 million has supported 38 organisations that did not already receive investment directly from Sport NZ.

Sport Tasman is also managing the Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund in the region.

Beryl Cameron Open Triples Results

By: Brendan Alborn

After a fantastic day of competition a combined team consisting of skipper Neville Nesbitt and Doug Allred from Riwaka, and Motueka’s Fay Parsons took out the Beryl Cameron Open Triples tournament. Riwaka’s Vince Bloomfield, Corinne Steenbeeke and Steve Allred took out second spot. Coming in third was another Riwaka team made up of Nick Fritz, Bas Smith and Graeme Davey.

Each of the teams that achieved a placing in the tournament won three of their four games with the number of ends and total number of points deciding the final placings.

Tournament sponsor, Club Patron and ever-present kitchen manager Beryl Cameron was on hand to award the prizes to the winning teams.

After the tournament, Riwaka’s Club Captain Doug Hayward, whose team finished fourth and therefore just out of a prize money winning spot, was left musing on the emotional roller coaster that is lawn bowls.

In the final end of their game against

another Riwaka team, Doug’s team was holding four shots and looked for all money to be about to gain the two shots they needed for the win. Up stepped fellow Riwaka club stalwart and opposing skipper, Bev Hunt to take the final bowl of the match. With that final bowl Bev stole

the shot and won the match for her team. Without Bev’s final bowl-burglary, Doug’s team would have won all four of their matches and would have taken top spot, rather than coming in fourth and missing out on a share of the prize money.

The McCarthy and Goodman families have been associated with the club over its 100 years of existence and the club is extremely grateful for the support that the Goodman family has given the club over these years. The late Sir Patrick Goodman was Patron of the club for many years and, as he always requested and consistent with the club’s philosophy, all the prizes were purchased for Motueka Businesses.

This year’s tournament was won convincingly by Sandra and Bob Ilton on 150 points.

Taylors Wanderers Sports Club report

Saturday was a long time coming for many young cricketers throughout Tasman, following two weeks of cancelled matches due to the recent weather variations.

In perfect conditions at Brightwater the Wanderers – Motueka Premier team hosted the unbeaten and highly rated Stoke –Nayland. Batting first, Wanderers – Mot were cautious and at 36 for 3 in the 14th over, then 76/5 in the 32nd, it did appear that a low score would be record-

ed for the visitors to chase. However, a fine 6th wicket stand of 83 between Sasha Gaffikin and Harsh Visavadiya, brightened the outlook for the hosts. Standing tall once again, Visavadiya was eventually out for a very meritorious 100 but Gaffikin’s support was invaluable to the final score of 171.

Jared Silvester and Liam Clark both produced good bowling figures for Stoke-Nayland, with Silvester’s 5 maidens and 2 for 15 from his

ten overs particularly impressive in the context of the game.

In contrast to Wanderers-Mot cautious start, Stoke started strongly losing their first wicket in the 22nd over with 78 runs already knocked off. The Wanderers bowling attack rolled their sleeves up and the introduction of Boe Bamford, Logan Ogilvie, Hayden Ingham and Visavadiya slowly managed to exert pressure on to the batsmen and wickets fell at

regular intervals, supported by some excellent fielding, including a stunning outfield catch by Alex Brogan, although StokeNayland were always ahead of the run rate. The loss of 3 wickets for only 10 additional runs, tightened the game up and with the fall of the 9th wicket Stoke had 24 balls to score the remaining 15 runs for victory, with Ben Homan looking secure on 33. On the final ball of the 48th over, an extremely sharp display of field-

ing by Visavadiya and an equally athletic reaction from bowler, Logan Ogilvie saw the non-striking batsman run out at the bowler’s end and Wanderers – Motueka record the best victory of the past three seasons.

The bowling figures were pleasing for Wanderers – Mot with 6 bowlers used and five of them under the Economy Rate of 3.42 that the batsmen had set, with Bamford (3/31 off 10) and Visavadiya (3/27 off 10) standing out.
