Wakefield School debates full primary idea Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Discussions whether Wakefield School becomes a full primary were in full swing last week when

parents were invited to attend a meeting to make their voices heard. Around 70 parents turned out for the event, which is part of a wider review of schools in the Richmond / Waimea area by the Ministry of Education. The MoE

have identified the need for several local schools to recapitate, which means to change from a Year 1-6 school to a Year 1-8 school to help reduce roll growth pressure on Waimea Intermediate in Richmond. Those schools

are Wakefield, Brightwater, Ranzau, Appleby and Hope. The MoE have asked the schools to give feedback on how the community feels about the proposal. “At this stage, it’s a chance for us to give information about the recapita-

tion proposal to the community,” says Peter Verstappen, principal for Wakefield School. “The meeting was also a chance for parents to raise questions with us that we

Wakefield School debates More control over your health full primary proposal Jenny Nicholson

from PAGE 1 can now take to the Ministry of Education for answers.”

Unusually, it was the MoE who approached the schools in the region with the suggestion of recapitation, as opposed to the other way round. “Generally, a community have already come together to decide that recapitation is needed before the Ministry of Education get involved,” says Peter. “But they approached us with growing concern over future numbers at Waimea Intermediate. At present, we are just getting a feel of how this would affect us in terms of change. No decisions will be made for a long time yet.”

It’s thought there will be a lot more discussion between parents, the school and the MoE before things get put to a public vote.

The school could become a full primary by 2023. Photo: Supplied.

“We still don’t know what the other schools in the cluster are doing and if that will impact what we do,” says Peter.

Wakefield is one of the few schools in the cluster which already has the capacity of classrooms to han-

dle the recapitation, which means they are in a good position should the proposal go ahead. Other schools may have to build extra classrooms to deal with the overflow. “Nothing will happen until at least 2023,” says Peter.

Consultations with GPs via telephone or video call are offering patients more control over their healthcare.

Not only can the consults be in the comfort of your own home, they allow family to attend more easily.

“Sharing an appointment with whanau can give a person peace of mind and advocacy when faced with decisions about complex health issues,” says Nelson Marlborough Health Communications Advisor (Projects) for Nelson Marlborough Health NMH),Victoria Weingartner.

Telehealth was more widely used during lockdown, but NMH are promoting the benefits of continuing phone and video consults as a permanent

option. They are aware that people have questions and are offering free drop-in and information sessions at local libraries.

“We want to help our community understand how telehealth can benefit them and to help them feel confident in using the technology,” says Victoria.

A total of 57,741 telehealth appointments have been undertaken between 1 July 2019 and 30 April 2021 in the Top of the South. In Nelson Tasman this has likely resulted in 1,635,261km less travel, a total of three years, 206 days and 15 hours of travel time avoided and a reduction of 371 tonnes of CO2 emitted.

The drop-in session at Richmond Library, Queen Street, is on Monday 24 May from 1.45pm to 2.45pm.

Don’t let the bus stop

Kiwis suffering from travel anxiety Jo Kent

Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The Wakefield Community Bus, which ferries folk to and from Richmond twice a week, could be in jeopardy after passenger numbers have dwindled in recent weeks without explanation. The volunteer-run service was set up by the Nelson Tasman Community Transport Trust in October 2018 and, after a six-month trial, was made permanent due to its popularity.

The purpose of the bus is to provide transport for those who would not otherwise be able to access affordable travel within the district. It’s currently used by the elderly as well as young families.

The route runs from Wakefield to Richmond and back, twice a week, and the bus is timed to connect with the Richmond-Nelson service.

“We think we may have to drop the Tuesday service,” says Kate Malcolm, trust chairwoman. In an effort to find out why the Tuesday service has fallen out of favour with locals, a survey has been put on the Wakefield Community Bus Facebook page to gain a better understanding of the needs of its

I was feel it adds to the community getting a ride one day when the feel of the service. “If anyone is driver mentioned they had no interested in becoming a driver, relief drivers so I said I could do we’d love to hear from them,” says it to help out.

“If the demand is there, then we community grant. will resume the Tuesday service To fill out the survey, go to ntctt. regularly,” says Kathy. “But unless org.nz/wakefield-communitywe get more passengers, it will be bus/feedback.

With the Cook Islands travel bubble now officially open, many Kiwis have already landed in sunny Rarotonga since Monday. Richmond House of Travel owner operator, Amanda Radovanovich, says, “There are certainly a lot of people interested and booking their travel to the Cooks as it’s considered a safe destination because they haven’t been hit with Covid.”

Covid vaccines are poised to be rolled out in the Cook Islands from today, and the New Zealand government has announced more vaccines and $120 million in additional support for Pacific countries. It is expected to take six to eight weeks for those eligible on the island to be vaccinated. But not all Kiwis are so keen to fly to the holiday hotspot. Research commissioned by bookings web-

site Expedia shows that over a third of New Zealanders plan to put off international travel for a year. At least 59 per cent reported suffering from overseas travel anxiety which has seen ‘staycations’ grow in popularity.

Reasons for their angst are the uncertainty surrounding booking a trip, especially when there is a chance of becoming stranding overseas if borders were to close due to community cases, the possibility of having to pay for ongoing accommodation, and then there is the prospect of having to foot the bill for managed isolation and quarantine when they return to New Zealand.

But for some, the risk is worth it. “I was booked to go to the Cook Islands last year on a family holiday,” says local mum Rachael Teece. “So it’s nice that we have the option to retake it at some point this year.”

Tasman Pool Owners Beware!

The latest TDC “News”Line says they are inspecting all residential swimming pools to meet their obligations from a law change on 1 January 2017 and are attempting to “catch up with the backlog”. Actually, the reason for the “backlog” is because TDC appear to have ignored meeting their legal obligations to conduct those pool inspections over the past 4 years.

Of the nearly 1,200 pools in the district, TDC completed a mere 160 pool inspections in the 3 year period up to 2020 whereas the law required them to have inspected all pools by then.

The “News”Line piece says that this is all about child safety, but TDC’s actual performance at this work tells quite another story.

Notwithstanding TDC’s sudden, and seemingly new-found, enthusiasm for child safety and

meeting their long-standing legal obligations, there is a crucial matter for all pool owners to be aware of when TDC inspects your pool under the legislation that came into effect back in January 2017.

Pool barriers that were compliant under previous legislation continue to be compliant under the new legislation. That is to say, if your pool barriers used to be compliant, then they still will be barring ensuring that latches still work, etc, etc.

The new legislation did not require existing pool barriers to be retro-fitted to meet the new requirements. This is an important fact because, basically, if TDC had formally approved your pool barriers in the past, then those barriers should still be compliant provided you have made no modifications to them.

If TDC suddenly determine that your pool barriers aren’t compliant even though they may have formally signed them off in the past, then you should tread warily because this likely means that TDC had incorrectly approved non-compliant barriers.You have some avenues open to you for addressing this situation; the most useful being an application to MBIE for a completely independent formal Determination.

You should also let the Mayor, Councillors and Chief Executive know that something that was previously formally signed off

by TDC is now incorrect. You probably won’t be alone in this situation! If TDC are responsible for causing you expense through having a non-compliant pool that they themselves approved, then it is reasonable to expect TDC to own-up and

move to resolve a problem they made.

Just to be clear this is not legal or technical advice, but rather my views as a ratepayer wanting to make sure our Council do a good job. Maybe it’ll help highlight some possible consequences of TDC activities in this space.

Lastly, it is worth reflecting that TDC’s apparently slack approach is in huge contrast to Nelson City Council, where they are up-to-date with inspections, and have been for the past 9 years! Isn’t it interesting that neighbouring Councils have such vastly different approaches to their legal obligations to child safety?

Should the SH6 slip road have stayed?

One message the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum is keen to promote is that individuals and households can make a difference.

The Climate Action Book, due to be presented to the Tasman District Council on 27 May, offers practical steps in tackling the effect of climate change for individuals, households, businesses, community, and those at governance level.

“People can feel overwhelmed by the topic of climate change. When I first read the book I expected it would be depressing, but by the time I finished I felt comforted, energised, and empowered by the good practical stuff I can do,” says communications manager, The Nelson Tasman Climate Forum, Áine Byrne The book is specifically written for those in this region.

Eating leftovers rather than throwing them out is just one suggestion made. Food waste at a household level is a significant source of green-

Tree Tristram I thought it was brilliant and would suggest, since the two lanes are often poorly used and not to purpose, a slip road was a good use to many. I used it multiple times without incident.

Mic Heynekamp Loved it, because it reduced the congestion on the other two roundabouts.

Hayley Ewing It was a bit of a danger when you were in a heavy vehicle (harder to stop) and someone would slow right down to 5km or 10km before pulling off the left-hand lane properly.

“When you think of the packaging, distribution, and even the creation of the food, it adds up. We don’t think about what has gone into making it and getting it to our households,” says Áine. She says young people have a hunger to be better educated and part of the solution. Whereas in the 80s

the fear was nuclear war, now climate change is causing anxiety to young people.

“The antidote is education and empowering them, giving them tools and knowledge to get involved,” she says.

The book suggests a waste hierarchy of refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle, recover, and rot.

Áine says New Zealand as a whole is falling behind other countries. While much can be done at a governance and business level, she says success comes at a grass roots level.

The book is online at www. nelsontasmanclimateforum. org or by scanning the QR code which is on posters dotted around the town.

Debbie Harvie Not at all, it was dangerous. I saw so many cars driving up the left-hand side on the grass to get to it because they wouldn’t/couldn’t wait for the traffic... better without it.

Briana Nixon No, but we need one for the airport.

Melanie Brown Please, can we also consider leaving/bringing back the Templemore roundabout. It also takes away a lot of the congestion at the main one.

Melinda Baigent I loved it too. Drop-offs to the pool were way easier. Bring it back!

Table tennis gave best memories Jenny Nicholson Reporter

Waimea College scoops prizes Jenny Nicholson Waimea College’s Showquest team didn’t only win overall at the performing arts competition held at The Theatre Royal in Nelson on Friday, they placed first in seven other categories.

Xanthe Southward received Star of the Show for her lead performance. The first place

soundtrack was the work of Kahu Hunter-Brown. Costume, lighting, choreography, best use of wearable arts and best scene were the school’s other wins.

“I am very proud of everyone who performed and helped out, it was a team effort,” says lead choreographer Eden Kett.

Madi Fane also put their win down to teamwork.

“It feels great because we’ve put so much work into this,” said Madi.

“We were expecting to place but it was great to win first place!”

Showquest is the biggest performing arts competition for schools in the country.

Teams are judged overall on their production, performance, movement and theme.

New Dentures

A mother and daughter duo, who have both played table tennis competitively are part of the team behind a ‘women in table tennis’ event this month.

Both began playing in their garages and both represented their region in their teens.

Growing up in Dunedin, Glenda Ferguson remembers having to go to town to buy shorts so she was allowed to play at the nationals.

“Table tennis is a great sport for growing up in Dunedin because it is played inside and doesn’t depend on the weather,” she says.

Glenda’s daughter Kylie described herself as a shy girl who was terrified to go on her first trip away.

But that trip was a turning point in her life, leaving her feeling stronger and more confident.

“Dad tells everyone I have never shut up since that trip,” she says.

Her best memories of growing up as a teenager were table tennis trips away.

“It was like another family really

when we went on tournaments, and I enjoyed meeting people from other regions,” she says.

Kylie went on to compete at nationals, winning the 1990 NZ Secondary Schools Tournament.

In 1995,she, her mother and her sister were awarded the Best Ambassadors of the tournament, something she regards as a great achievement.

She represented New Zealand in Australia as part of the Under 15 and Under 17 teams.

Now Glenda and Kylie would like others to enjoy all table tennis has to offer, both as a sport and as a place to form life-long friendships.

“You don’t need to have any skill or experience to come along to this fun night. All you need is to be keen to give it a go and make some new friends,” says Kylie.

All women are invited to a free evening of table tennis, drinks, and nibbles on Friday, 25 June from 7 to 9 pm.

This is part of a nationwide initiative encouraging more women and girls to play table tennis. For more information, please contact Glenda at billglenda@tasman.net or phone 03 547 9479.

Nelson Matters It is a weird world when you get called a racist on social media and in Parliament for advocating that Council and Government should treat all people equally. I stand by my questioning of the Nelson City Council’s decision to introduce separate Maori representation and the Governments radical proposals for a Maori Health Authority with a veto over all heath decisions and the transfer of our

$342 million of Nelson/Tasman water infrastructure to a new Christchurch entity half owned by iwi.

It is wrong that Council has decided to create separate Maori representation without any public consultation.

It knew Nelson was opposed from the 12,298 to 3131 vote in 2012 when Council last proposed it. The Council, also without public consultation, has added iwi representatives

onto its committees. The irony is the Council is now going to consult on the other wards.

The 1,720 voters in Nelson on the Maori roll will vote for one Maori Councillor. The other 38,402 voters will have one councillor per 3491 people.

All votes should be equal and all Councillors should have the responsibility to represent all people.

Some Maori have said that this is just the first step and say the

Treaty entitles them to 50% of representation. This contradicts Hobson’s words “He iwi tahi tatou. We are one people” and equal rights in a democracy.

The separate Maori representation on Nelson Council was enabled by Labour rushing through legislation in February, also without consultation. It was described by the NZ Herald as “law making at its worst” and “reeking of ar-

rogance”, but strongly supported by Nelson’s Labour MP. It makes a joke of Labours 2020 Election Manifesto on Local Government that states “Labour will ensure that major decisions about local democracy involve full participation of the local population from the outset.”

Nelson deserves better on decisions on how we are governed.

Nelson’s first-ever Special Olympics all-women basketball team is due to travel to a regional event in June. Twenty-two players will attend, with two mixed teams joining the women’s team. They have been helped on their way by the generosity of local sponsors, who have contributed $8,500 toward the trip for the teams heading to Greymouth. Craig Hamilton handed a cheque to teammates Suzanne Mohekey and Irene Marsters, and coach Wayne Bowen “It’s exciting for the teams to be heading to Greymouth, and that the Nelson Giants have invited the Special Olympics team to play during half- time at the Giants game against the Manawatu Jets on 3rd of June,” says coach Wayne Bowen. The event in Greymouth is a build-up for the nationals where some of the women may then be chosen for the mixed basketball team.

The Pretty Smart Sale, which is a regular second-hand indoor market, has teamed up with the Nelson Hospice for the first time ever to help shift excess stock while raising money for the charity. Run by sisters Sally Shaw and Lorraine Nowland, the idea came about after a day’s volunteering. “I work at the Richmond Hospice store and thought it would be great to collaborate on a project together,” says Lorraine (left). Store manager Anete Smith was keen to jump on board. “I’m happy for the market to sell our clothes for $2 on the Saturday and $1 on the Sunday,” she says. “It’s giving us another outlet to raise money and make way for fresh donations in store.”

Just a thought...

Jono Martin Pastor, Richmond New Life Church The old adage from Benjamin Franklin says “Nothing is certain except death and taxes”.

It would be far more exciting to talk about life but the reality is that as sure as life itself, everyone of us will one day face death. Some unexpectedly, some young, some through accidents, some through sickness and some simply through the passage of time and age.

There are so many different views about what happens when we die. What’s your perspective or understanding?

The bible (God’s handbook for life) tells us that death is not the end, that after death we step though the curtain into eternity.

The bible also tells us that while our bodies may die, our spirit, the real us, lives on forever.

The only sobering challenge with this good news is that what life looks like for us in eternity is impacted by choices we have made on this earth.

This is not the the old “Am I good enough to get into heaven?”.

We might be the most amazing, kind, generous person on the plan-

et but God tells us that each of us, regardless of how “good” we might be, have been poisoned by sin. This sin affects intentions, thoughts and actions and is like a cancerous growth in our spirit. We see the outworking of this in the world and people’s lives each and everyday.

But the amazing news is this. God made a way for you and I to be healed and forgiven of our sin. He sent his son Jesus to live a perfect life, to die on the cross taking the punishment for all of our sins and then to rise again from the dead, proving he is the son of God. He tells us that if we will acknowledge this, and ask Jesus to forgive us and be the Lord of our lives, then we have the assurance that he will begin a whole new work in our life.

He also promises us that we can then be sure that we will spend eternity enjoying both a new heaven, and a new earth that no longer is plagued by sin, sadness or sickness.

A world the way God intended it to be before sin had its effect on us all.

Death may be a certainty but it also certainly is not the end.

Why don’t you explore the great news of what God offers you though His son Jesus Christ.

The Diary of Sarah Higgins Ruth Russ

The day Sarah Sharp arrived in Nelson with her father and brothers, a 16-year-old boy was standing on the wharf watching. Sydney Higgins was a recent immigrant, a passenger of the Mary Ann, and he had been helping to build Rocks Road.

As the Bolton arrived in the harbour and its passengers were ferried by smaller boats to dry land, imagination got the better of him. He made his way to the wharf and watched as the immigrants were unloaded. His son later wrote that Sydney ‘saw a pretty girl about 12 years old’. The girl was Sarah.

Sarah writes in her diary that as she had ‘no mother or sister to teach me enney thing…I ust to go to the neighbours and watch the other wemen how they did

things’. She watched them make a ‘pan cake’ and with the confidence of a twelveyear-old thought, ‘oh…I can do that…for [my father’s] supper’.

Proudly Sarah went home and told her father Stephen she would make supper for him. ‘I made the batter an put the fat in an got it [warm] an [poured] the batter in…then I [shook] it to turn it over and it went down in the [ashes]’.

Stephen laughed at his daughter and said, ‘You are not so clever as you thought.’

Sarah’s cooking did improve, which is just as well, because Sydney Higgins had not lost sight of the pretty girl from the wharf. Sarah had not noticed him the day she arrived in Nelson, but Sydney ‘whent home and tould his mother an sister that he ad seen the prettiest girl he ad

Sydney and Sarah Higgins ever seen in his life and he wold have her if he cold get her for a wife’. When at age 19, Sarah was sent to work at a grocery store, Sydney delivered the bread there. Sarah affectionately calls him ‘my boy’ in his diary: ‘My boy wanted to be married but I sad no I wanted to wate til I was 21’.

Sydney eventually convinced her, however, based on economy—‘he could not save en-

(Part 2)

ney thing for a home while he ad to pay for his bord’— and on the promise that he would not take Sarah too far from her father. On an unusually snowy day, two days after Sydney had finished building a room for themselves at Stephen’s house in Spring Grove, they were married, with the minister, Samuel Ironside, arriving on a mule. The competent couple made things work, with Sarah selling her own butter and cheese, and sewing, and Sydney hiring himself out as a labourer until he could afford to purchase 20 acres of land from Francis Otterson—and Sarah noted, with both practicality and cheek, that Mr Otterson sold him the land ‘for five poun less… because he had married me’, and one can almost sense her grinning as she finishes, ‘so that was a grate help’.

What does a mayor do when he retires?

Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

When Richard Kempthorne stepped down from mayoralty in October 2019, he wondered how he would cope with the complete change.

Taking time out to think, he travelled to England for seven weeks in time to see another grandchild born. Once back, he felt relief from the pressure, no longer carrying all the issues any mayor does.

“I stepped right away once I wasn’t mayor. I didn’t want to seek to be helpful but actually end up interfering. But I still wanted to be involved with the region and to be helpful,” says Richard.

His days are full, chairing both the Top of the South Rural Support Trust and Nelson’s Big Brothers Big Sisters. He’s also helping aviation historians prepare for an event celebrating the first flight to

Nelson.

“I have no history in aviation but love planes, and the community will love this event planned for November,” he says.

With a background in farming, he is pleased to be part of the horticulture industry’s careers progression management process which helps school leavers into permanent jobs.

“There is the perception that jobs in horticulture are only seasonal but that isn’t the case, and this process helps people know what is available,” he says.

He’s also a member of the Interim Regional skills Leadership Group, an organisation that looks at gaps in skill in economy and industry, and how to fill them.

So, life is busy, but he says it is really good. He has more time with his wife Jane, time to mountainbike, sing in the local choir Take A Chance Singers, and has started picking fruit on his brother’s orchard.

s ip h s e ic t n e r p p A in n e m o W In the past year, New Zealand has seen a surge in the numbers of people becoming trade apprentices and noticeably, there has been a large uptake of women.

Every day, women across the country, including those living in the Nelson-Tasman region, pick up their tools to go about their plumbing, electrical and roofing jobs. The government’s decision to make apprenticeships free until December 2022, has undoubtedly helped men and women decide to take up a trade, and with the new Apprentice Boost programme, it helps employers keep and take on new apprentices. By the end of 2020, there were 30 per cent more female apprentices than in 2019.

Compared with the ‘olden days’ when there were a lot of barriers that women faced when trying to gain employment in non-traditional roles, nowadays it’s a very different story. Today, women can virtually choose any trade, from electricians and drainlayers through to builders and automotive engineers.

Total Decorating Nelson The number of female apprentices at Total Decorating Nelson

Holly Haddock, Anna Julian, Christine Gillespie, Maddie Hughes, Ellie Moyer, apprentices in various stages of Paper and Decorating Apprenticeships with Total Decorating. is proportionately much higher than companies in similar industries throughout New Zealand.

“It’s pretty rare to have as many women in apprenticeships as we do,” says Aaron Mallinson, owner of the business. All of the female apprentices at Total Decorating are currently in training, includ-

ing one who is doing an “adult version” apprenticeship and has been in the industry for more than 10 years.

“She came to us and we have put her through various stages of training and will end up with the full qualification. I have two daughters, and you want them to

have the same opportunities and qualifications as anyone else in any field, including the painting and decorating industry.”

Total Decorating Nelson limited offers high quality interior painting, and wallpapering services to clients throughout the Nelson region.

Thinking of building?

Proud to support the local apprentices

Anna Julian, who is in the second year of her apprenticeship, has been with the business for two years. “When I left school, I worked in a few retail jobs, but they weren’t really for me, then I thought I’d try out being in a trade,” she says. Anna considered being a sparky, but painting really grabbed her attention, so she decided to give it a go. “I love my job; I’m very happy here.”

Total Decorating does a lot of new builds and renovation work.

For the female apprentices, every day is pretty ‘hands-on’ with some book work required too.

“The work is really interesting and varied because we quickly move on to other jobs,” says Anna.

“We do everything from wallpapering to spray painting and learn a lot along the way.” She says it’s very rewarding seeing a job from start to finish and being part of a cool team.

“We’re really lucky to have such a big firm, but we all get on really well. Our boss is amazing to us; he really values the work we do.”

s ip h s e ic t n e r p p A in n e Wom enrolling in the engineering, construction and automotive programmes, previously maledominated areas.

This year around seven per cent of NMIT engineering and construction apprentice students are female, and in the joinery programme it is close to 50 per cent.

In July 2020 the government introduced TTAF, the Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) to redirect people who may have lost their job due to COVID-19 on to a trade’s apprenticeship.

So far over 100,000 students nationwide have begun TTAF programmes, over 1,100 through NMIT with more intakes coming.

NMIT Executive Director Grant Kerr says fees for the supported programmes will be funded until December 2022 so now is the perfect time to apply.

“There are skills shortages in a number of sectors across the country and we hear from employers who are very keen to take on apprentices—they can also claim financial support for taking one on,” he says.

attended a block course which was pretty fun.” Jordy says the most rewarding thing about doing the apprenticeship through LPL Construction is being able to look at her work and say, ‘I did this.’ “It’s also really cool that I’m helping to build my sister’s house.”

Pinkfit Nelson and Nelson Safety Nets

Jordy Fenwick is just one of many young ladies building a career with an apprenticeship in construction. was working in hospitality when Luke Percy, the owner of LPL Construction Ltd, offered her an apprenticeship at his firm. “I’ve known Jordy for 8 years; she’s my partner’s sister,” he says. “She’s a cool chick and I just wanted to give her the opportunity to take it up if she wanted to.” LPL Construction is involved in The Meadows development where it

is contracted to build new homes for a well-known building company.

Jordy decided to give it a go. She’s been with LPL Construction for 10 months now and is really enjoying it. Before she started, she had never picked up a tool before, so she finds the work challenging but rewarding and says it’s a really good atmosphere to work in.

“I’m learning a lot of skills on the job,” she says. “It’s also good how it changes from day to day depending on what we’re working on.” Like other women who have joined the local construction industry, Jordy is doing the NMIT tutor-managed apprenticeship programme and is on the way to becoming a fully-qualified building professional. “I’ve already

Russell Clementson, the owner of two local businesses – Pinkfit Nelson and Nelson Safety Nets, says that a lot has changed for women who are working in today’s world.

“In the old days, women always had to fight for their roles,” says Russell. “But nowadays, they are seeking employment for jobs that they really want to do, not to prove a point to get into jobs.

Now, if women want to have a crack at that job, they can, which is great. Hopefully, it keeps getting better and better for women.”

Russell says it’s great that young Jordy has got into an apprenticeship at LPL Construction along with other female apprentices who are training to become qualified building professionals, and who are obviously really good at what they do.

“I think the apprenticeship programme is more about depth and skill level, and keeping people hanging around for longer,” says Tom.

Damien O’Connor

Town & Country Vet

The past 12 months of Covid times have reminded us that our primary industries truly are the backbone of our economy.

The dominating feeling as a Cabinet minister of March 2020 was uncertainty. The world hadn’t experienced a pandemic since World War One – beyond living memory. Countries were locking down around the world and it was fair to assume the global economy was going to take one hell of a knock.

And so into this howling head wind we went.

What I think is truly remarkable is what our primary sector achieved for New Zealand through this. Export revenues for the year are forecast to dip by only 1 to 3 percent.

This is despite major disruption to supply chains and uncertainty in our export markets.

So the message is simple. It’s a big heartfelt thank-you to our primary industries. You’ve kept us fed; kept export revenue coming in; and kept many of us employed.

All of New Zealand owes a huge gratitude to our farmers, horticulturalists, apiarists, foresters, fishermen, truck drivers, freezing workers, graders, and many more.

Your backbone has been ours.

Your hard work has kept us out of harder times.

Town & Country Vet is a team of 12 vets and 28 support staff all passionate about delivering the best care to their patients and service to their clients. The team of vets are dedicated to helping the farmers in the Nelson/Tasman region improve the health, well-being and production of their farm animals. The services they offer include pregnancy scanning, mastitis control, herd synchronisation and trace element testing.

Roger, Mitch, and Joe are Town & Country Vets’ large animal experts who are ready to help you with all aspects of farming vet care. The clinic is based in McGlashen Avenue in Richmond, there is a clinic in Wakefield and a Vet Equine facility on Haycock Road in Hope. As well, they provide 24 hr emergency vet care. They offer every service you need for your farm or large animals.

A mad-keen club member

Annual General Meeting

Like a great many young people, Colin Bowden was a mad-keen pool player and the opportunity to join the Waimea Town & Country Club in 1976 was too good to miss. There he became a part of an enthusiastic group of like-minded locals who competed both among themselves and in the Nelson Revell Trophy competition. Before long, Colin found himself elected as Club Captain, a position he held until 1985 when the team was disbanded after a highly successful season in which they won every trophy then up for grabs in the district.

Colin’s other sporting love at the time was squash, playing up to 6 times a week on the Nelson courts, although never to any great heights in terms of skill. A meeting at the Club around 1980 set in motion the building of a 4 glass court complex and Colin became the organiser of weekend working bees and chairman of the founding committee. The courts were officially opened in March 1981 and continue to be a successful adjunct for

Club waimea Hi everyone, can’t believe another month has slipped us by.

Not a lot to report this time around, but things at the Club are ticking along quite nicely. There are plenty of people coming through the doors, currently averaging around 10 new members per week – it’s great to see so many new faces.

The biggest event over the last month was, obviously, ANZAC Day, with a large attendance at the Richmond parade, and then back to Club Waimea for catchups. It was great to see so many people swapping stories and enjoying each other’s company.

From Saturday 5 June to Monday 7 June, the South Island Ladies 8-Ball Champs will be played at Club Waimea, followed

by the South Island Open 8-Ball Champs from Tuesday 8 June until Saturday 12 June. Entries for this event are rocketing in, so it will be a very big event.

Therefore, we would love to see as many of our members come along and support a very strong local contingent.

Keep warm and keep smiling everyone.

Until next time…

Hockey New Zealand have acknowledged the importance of dedication to a sport by presenting a local with their sports Gold Service Award.

Player, coach and umpire, Jan Wilson has worn all caps when it comes to hockey.

Now and for over 30 years, Jan has been the teacher in charge of hockey at Waimea College. That is an extra curriculum task on top of her math teaching role.

“Sport anywhere requires passionate people prepared to do the work, otherwise it doesn’t happen,” says Jan. Jan currently manages and coaches both boys and girls hockey at Waimea College.

“I just fill in the gap to ensure the sport continues for those who want to play,” she says.

In the late 1980s she played, umpired and was on the committee for indoor hockey. Jan has also

Liam McArthur, 8, after the game, with his sister Georgia. Liam was happy with his Saturday game, scoring five tries and receiving the Player of the Day award. It’s his second year playing for Waimea Old Boys and his favourite part of the game is tackling.

Six-year-old Georgia is in her first year playing rippa rugby and loves ripping best. Liam’s team-mate, Grayson Walker-Tehana also likes tackling. Grayson’s mother Susan says a bonus of playing rugby for Waimea Old Boys is that there are players from different schools so children get to know more than just their school group. The Waimea Old Boys have their 125th anniversary coming up at Queen’s Birthday Weekend and invite all past and present players to attend. To register, go to sporty.co.nz/ viewform/134761.

Wanderers Sports Club this week

4th of March 2021

Staff Reporter Taylors Wanderers Sports Club scheduled a Sponsor’s Day event at Centennial Park on Saturday to acknowledge and thank the many sponsors and supporters who have enabled the club to continue through the extremely challenging circumstances of the past 14 months.

Covid-19 and the demise of last year’s Div 1 team had combined to create uncertainty across all levels of sport, and it was fitting that three very fine, highly contested matches were provided for the large crowd that was present and thoroughly entertained.

The opening match was an Under 15 encounter between Nelson College White and Wanderers 3 Bee. Wanderers started very well and, although missing out on a couple of early opportunities, did eventually score when busy hooker Alex Thomson crossed.

In an extremely evenly-contested game, Nelson College took the opportunities created and the final score of 29-12 did slightly flatter the visitors despite the best efforts of Nathan Downey, who produced a good strong, all round performance, ably supported

by Alex Thompson and captain James Strang, with a special men-

tion of the tenacious defence by James Rawson at fullback.

Taylors Wanderers Div 2 was hosting Waimea Old Boys Colts in a double header between the two clubs, acting as the curtain raiser to the Div 1 event. It was the visitors who opened the scoring with a rather easy try in the right hand corner which was converted for a 7-0 lead to WOB. Riley Johnston finished off a fine period of continuity play by Wanderers and with an unsuccessful conversion they trailed 5-7, then Riley crossed again but again the conversion was astray and Wanderers took the lead 107. The lead changed throughout the game with standout player for the hosts, Ducati Morrell-Hopa, bursting through the midfield off a well weighted pass and continuing to the line for a try. With the conversion Wanderers regained the lead at 24-22 with 6 minutes remaining. WOB made some substitutions and one of the more senior “colts” was creating havoc with strong runs in the midfield.

From a sustained period on attack inside the Wanderers 22m area, he crashed across for another lead change at 24-27, with the conversion missing. Any game that has 7 lead changes and finishes with the teams separated by

Other players to stand out for Wanderers were Riley Johnstone, Bailey Donaldson, Josh Kelly and Logan Thompson, who ensured that the set plays were dominated

by Wanderers, but errors at crucial times and penalties both on attack and defence, continue to be hamstringing the team. Next week Wanderers Div 2 will again be the curtain-raiser in a double header at Nelson club.

The Div 1 game was another arm wrestle but without the numerous lead changes from the earlier

match, with the visiting defending champions kicking two early penalties for 0-6 lead, and a try just before halftime created a solid lead to the visitors at 13-0.

Wanderers had a clear superiority at scrum time but were unable to exploit the advantage, however it did look as if they would improve in the second half and again coach Glenn Grant was not overly concerned in being behind at the break. However, it was not possible to take advantage as Waimea Old Boys were forced to revert to ‘uncontested’

immediately after the resumption, greatly negating Wanderers’ strength. A fine lineout drive did see Sam Moli score, emphasising the forward pack cohesion and dominance and although WOB did score another try and get out to 20-7 Wanderers were still in the contest. Although solid on defence, crucial little errors, especially when in possession, proved very costly and frustrated the Wanderer’s attack, often relieving the pressure that was building on WOB, so the vital score never eventuated. WOB gave a lesson in patience on attack and therefore thoroughly deserved the victory in a good physical game that was unfortunately marred with a red card issued against WOB for a dangerous clash on Jaydon Woolley which forced him from the field for the final minutes.

Wanderers Sports Club used the day as an opportunity to acknowledge and reward the numerous sponsors who have supported the club during the past 14 months with Taylors Contracting Ltd, Moutere Logging Ltd, Total (NZ) Ltd and Waimea Weekly all present and acknowledged postmatch. Numerous bronze sponsors were also in attendance for all three matches.

Brothers shine in Rangiora demolition Jonty Dine

The strongest competition the Sauira brothers found in the second round of the Crusaders 1st XV Championship was against each other.

Nic and Timi went tit-for-tat in tries, offloads and scintillating line breaks during Nelson Col-

lege’s 75-0 demolition of Rangiora on Saturday afternoon.

The brothers say they thrive playing together and enjoyed plenty of opportunities with ball in hand.

“I just try to run off him when he breaks the line,” says Timi.

Nic says his younger brother is always pushing him to be better on

and off the field.

Without its most destructive ball runner in Netani Baleisomosomo, Nelson routed Rangiora with a clinical first-half performance.

It took less than a minute for Nelson to establish dominance as skipper Ollie Inch burst through the Rangiora defence and beautifully drew his man to send Timo-

ci away for the opening try.

Further tries to Jacob NehaManihera, Dylan Irvine, Tuterangi Stone-Williams, and doubles for Hunter Leppien, Reegan Lawton and Sauira saw Nelson take a formidable 53-0 lead at halftime.

Nelson rang the changes in the second, but the scoring continued, Stone-Williams rumbling

Sailing success for Waimea Jo Kent The Waimea College Sailing Team are celebrating after qualifying to represent the country in a sailing regatta against top teams from Australia and New Zealand later this year. The team recently sailed around 40 races in the NZSS Nationals event in Auckland, where they came away with an impressive 75 per cent win rate, placing the college third out of 28 teams nationwide. Their performance earned them a place in secondary schools team sailing contest ‘Interdoms’, where they will now compete against the Top 3 Open and Top 3 Female teams from both Australia and New Zealand.

over for his second before Matt Brice and Nelesoni Malaulau put Nelson in the 70s.

Nic was rewarded with one himself as he made yet another scything run to close out the emphatic victory.

Marist mauled Nelson in bruising 14-try encounter in the local senior competition.

“It’s a pretty neat achievement, and we are all very proud of them.”

Crewmates Luis Schneider, MacGregor Reid, Ruby Campbell, Alex Bentley, Sarah Charles and Sophia Sidley endured six days of competitive racing in strong winds at Algies Bay, Auckland, and are thrilled to have been picked to represent the country in the Interdoms. “It’s pretty awesome,” says Luis. “it’s the first time Waimea College has ever done so well, let alone be selected to represent New Zealand. We are all super happy as it’s such a big honour.”

The team, made up of Year 12 and 13 students, have sailed together for the last two years and is made up of a 50/50 gen-

der split. “Most teams in the top 3 are usually all male, so it’s worth noting that our team is both boys and girls,” says Luis.

The Waimea team are also competing at the GJ Gardner New Zealand Open Team Sailing National Championship, which is not age-related, so they will be racing against some of the countries best adult teams. “The event takes place in Kerikeri over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend,” says Luis. “So we will get a bit of time out on the water to train in the next few weeks.”

Each year the Interdoms venue alternates between Hobart, Australia, and Algies Bay in Auckland. This year, it will be held from the 10 to 13 of October in New Zealand.

Nelson racer Dan Fisher wins the Ruff’n’Tuff 250 Philip Hagan The 2021 Ruff ’n’Tuff 250 was raced on Saturday in Spooners Forest. The 240km off-road endurance race saw more than 30 competitor take on the 12 lap race through forest trails, ridge lines and gravel roads. Race conditions were good with no rain and a damp track supplying good visibility and grip.

Qualifying put the red-hot favourite, #1 Dan Fisher, in the sixth starting position.

This gave the Nelson offroader the optimum start.

At sixth, in his V8-powered Razorback, he was always going to be on the minds of the 5 racers in front. And with the path-finding duties in the hands of others, all he needed to do was apply the pressure.

When the green flag dropped the entire field roared into the forest. For some this would be the only lap. #192 Ash Kelly’s race nearly didn’t even start. He qualified well, but an electrical issue when the flag dropped forced him to be the last car away, only to suffer a blown clutch in the first 10km, ending his

race.

Meanwhile, close to the front, Dan Fisher was moving through the 5 in front.

He overpowered them on the long gravel roads and before the first lap ended he had the lead. No longer driving in the spray and shrapnel from other race cars, Dan extended his lead on every lap, completing each 20km lap in 14 minutes. Mid field racers were completing laps in 17 minutes. Unchallenged, he raced on to win the Ruff ’n’Tuff 250 and bolster his lead in the ORANZ

Championship.

In Dan’s wake, the battle for positions raged. Rival Nelson racer #110 Alex Bright went from challenging the front running #S12 Slim Slee for second place, to tumbling “end for end” out of the race. #U91 Tony Terrell had a big rollover after something breaking steeringin the steering caused him to hit a tree and end for end it, ripping the front right hand corner off the Yamaha UTV. The carnage created by distance racing in the forest

continued with #S68 Mark Davis tearing a wheel off in an off-track excursion. #S16 Joel Giddy pulled out with no brakes at lap 6. #S43 Brian Rutgers had a axle nut come loose and a wheel come off. #385 Dale Mckenzie broke his front suspension and lost an A-arm (the A-Arm connects the front wheel to the car). #858 Bruce McKenzie had a oil pump issue which ended his day in somewhat less dramatic fashion.

The overall winners were 1st #1 Dan Fisher, 2nd #S12 Slim Slee and, finishing 3rd

overall, #375 Grant Adamson, racing an older 1600cc car and punching well above his weight to keep more powerful racers and the rest of the field in his mirrors.

This track roars back into life on the weekend of 17 July for the two day race “the New Zealand Enduro Champs”. 700kms total race distance. 60 percent gravel roads, plus haul tracks and ridge lines. This is a fast endurance offroad track that will bring more of the best offroad racers to this forest for a national title.

NEWSLINE UPDATES KEEPING YOU INFORMED ABOUT NEWS AND EVENTS IN THE TASMAN DISTRICT

19 MAY 2 02 1

Let’s talk Antenno

Innovating Streets for People survey

Tell us what you think about the Antenno app in Tasman and go in the draw to win one of three $50 Prezzy cards. Survey open until Friday 28 May. Just five quick questions. Scan the QR code to take the survey, or visit our website for more information: tasman.govt.nz/antenno

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency set up a fund called Innovating Streets for People, for trial projects that supported communities to shape their towns and streets to allow more people to move around safely, as well as create interesting spaces to enjoy.

One of the projects we received funding for is the Croucher / D’Arcy neighbourhood in Richmond.

We've now begun trialling changes to the streets to see if they work for the community.

No more cheques We have many other ways for you to pay your council bills. The easiest and most convenient way of making or receiving a payment is electronically. There are multiple options, including via direct debit, automatic payment, direct credit, telephone banking and online credit card payment available on our website. You can also continue to pay in person at any of our service centres with cash, EFTPOS or credit card.

If you need help with making the move to electronic payments, please contact your bank in the first instance. You can also speak with a member of our customer services team in person at your local service centre, by emailing info@tasman.govt.nz, or by phoning us on 03 543 8400.

Landscapes and Coastal Environment feedback events As part of the process to create the new Tasman Environment Plan, we’ve released draft maps identifying Tasman’s Outstanding Natural Landscapes and Features, and Coastal Environment.

We want to hear from landowners and affected people about their future land aspirations and views on whether our draft boundaries are in the right place.

Our next step is to meet with and learn from our communities. To do this, we have organised a series of feedback events across the District in May and June.

• Motueka: Sunday 23 May, 8.00 am – 1.00 pm, Motueka Sunday Market, Decks Reserve Carpark, Wallace Street.

Wednesday 26 May, 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm, Tasman District Council Meeting Room, 7 Hickmott Place.

• Mārahau: Wednesday 26 May, 11.00 am – 2.00 pm, Mārahau Community Hall.

• Richmond: Thursday 27 May, 10.00 am – 3.00 pm, Heaphy Room, Tasman District Council, 189 Queen Street.

Thursday 3 June, 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm, Constance Barnicoat Room, Richmond Library, 280 Queen Street.

• Ngatimoti and Moutere: Tuesday 1 June, 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm, Moutere Hills Community Centre, 1539 Moutere Highway.

Work under Three Brothers Corner This week we're starting work installing a new section of water main that will link Richmond West and Bateup Road. The new section of pipe will cross underneath the Three Brothers Corner intersection.

We’ll be thrusting the new water pipe underground to cross the intersection, so we won’t need to close traffic lanes on the roundabout. However, our contractors will be working alongside the road on both corners of the Hope-side of the roundabout, so traffic cones will restrict lane widths, and detours for pedestrians and cyclists as well as reduced speed limits will be in place.

We aim to finish the project by the end of 2021.

We’ll do our best to minimise the disruption and we appreciate everyone’s patience.

Plant a tree, grow a forest Grab a spade and head to Dominion Flats Reserve (next to the Ruby Bay bypass off Māpua Drive) on 29 and 30 May for a community planting bee.

From 9.00 am until midday, volunteers will be planting 2,000 native trees funded by the government’s One Billion Trees Fund, helping increase biodiversity and beautify the area.

This will go ahead sun, rain or hail. Bring a spade if you have one, sunblock, water and wear appropriate clothing. Refreshments will be provided.

Do you qualify for a rates rebate?

If you’re a low-income earner, you can have some of your rates credited to your rates account. You have until 30 June 2021 to apply for a rebate for the current rating year. If you aren’t sure if you’re eligible, call us on 03 543 8400 and we can check for you. For more information search ‘rates rebate’ on our website.

Digital dilemma?

If you need a hand understanding your phone, computer or other digital device, we can help.

Our Digital Learning and Digitisation Specialist runs regular free Digi Drop-In sessions that anyone can attend, with any digital dilemma.

Richmond Library, Tuesdays, 11.00 am – 1.00 pm Motueka Library, Thursdays, 11.00 am – 1.00 pm

To give your feedback on this trial project, visit tasman.govt.nz/streets-for-people. Survey is open until 31 May.

Roundabout ready ahead of schedule The major upgrade of the Champion / Salisbury roundabout has been completed well ahead of schedule. The quicker timeframe was a result of efficiencies being made throughout the construction process by our contractor, Fulton Hogan, including the use of specialised equipment.

The upgrade was needed as this is our busiest roundabout in Tasman District, with about 17,000 vehicles going through a day and that number is only predicted to grow. This creates congestion during peak hours and makes it very difficult for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the roundabout safely.

We’d like to say a very big thank you to the residents, businesses and road users who were affected by this project. We appreciate your patience while we carried out this major upgrade. We believe the new, bigger roundabout will improve safety and better serve the community’s needs.

COUNCIL HUI Unless otherwise stated, all meetings will be held at Council Chambers, 189 Queen Street, Richmond.

Access to meetings will continue to be available via Zoom video conferencing for those who are unable to attend in person. See tasman.govt.nz/ meetings-calendar for details.
