Wakefield burglar sent to prison TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

A short, sharp burglary spree left children in Wakefield so frightened they hid their pocket money under their pillows, afraid “the bad man would come back”.

The man responsible has been sent to prison for three years and one month, after attempts to halt his recidivist habits by electronic monitoring failed. Nicholas Gear struggled to convince a judge he planned to turn around his life, which was “con-

trolled by the scourge of Class A drugs”, his lawyer John Sandston said. While the burglary spree in Wakefield and Brightwater in October 2020 was “short and intensive”, it was not Gear’s first by any stretch.

It was another chapter in a life led as a “carbon copy of his father”, who had since moved on to a life free of crime, the court heard. “All he’s ever known is that when you need something, you steal it,” Crown prosecutor Abigail Goodison said.

In the Nelson District Court on Thursday, Gear appeared via audiovisual link, in a plain grey top and with his hair done neatly, knowing that he was going to prison.

Do you own the region’s most banged up car? JO KENT The race is on to find the region’s most beat-up car for a group of local vehicle repair experts to restore as part of a competition launched this week. Dreamt up by Brightwater Motors, ‘Revive My Ride’ brings the mechanic’s workshop together with Motueka’s Spectrum Panel & Paint and Nelson’s Sky Automotive to deliver a mechanical, panel, paint and detailing revitalisation to the winning car, totalling up to $5000. T he four-week long competition invites the public to submit a car for restoration by sending in details, including a photograph and a short history of the vehicle. A panel of experts will then select finalists for a public vote managed through social media at the end of June. Brightwater Motors owner Dave Gilberd says the competition is a bit of a dream job. “It’s not often you have the time, or can bring the skillset together, to see a project like this through from woe to go. It’s the sort of work that led most of us into the business in the first place.” For Spectrum Panel & Paint, the project offers the perfect opportunity to

Do you own the region’s most banged up car? FROM PAGE 1 practice ‘repair over retire’. “There are a lot of tired-looking vehicles out there just needing a little TLC,” says workshop manager Chevve Farrington Fry. “Getting to show the before and after of what can be done to bring a beaten-up car back into shape and avoiding the scrap yard is pretty exciting.” Rounding off the job will be Sky Automotive. Owner Vitaliano Escobedo says their work will be the cherry on top. “Surface care really is the key to saving your vehicle from signs of age and definitely adds value before a sale.” Most cars are handed over, traded in and passed around over the

course of their lives, but Dave says they’d like to hear about those journeys as much as the specifics of the vehicle and its time on the road. Dave’s own 1971 Peugeot 504 was inherited from his grandfather and holds countless memories of beach trips along dirt tracks. It’s now in pieces in his garage at home, waiting for a new engine and a new lease on life. “I’ll never sell that car,” Dave says, “but it sure could do with revive.” The competition is open now and closes on 24 June, with the big reveal of the restored car at the end of July.

Wakefield burglar sent to prison FROM PAGE 1 The Crown sought up to four years, and the defence did not argue prison was not warranted. The burglaries happened when Gear was on electronic bail for similar offending in Westport only months earlier, which he committed while on a sentence of home detention. On each occasion he had managed to remove the tracker so he could carry on, undetected. Gear was found guilty after a judge-alone trial, on 11 charges of burglary, one of receiving, theft and another of unlawfully getting into a vehicle, after the October 2020 spree in Wakefield and Brightwater. It was between October 23-30 that Gear targeted properties with garages and outbuildings, and vehicles parked in driveways, stealing mainly items used for hunting or in farming or

forestry. He also stole drivers’ licences, which were used to set up Trade Me accounts through which the items were sold. Goodison said while the total value of the goods was not known, they were estimated to be worth around $43,000. He was sentenced on those matters, plus the burglary charge from Westport. Judge Tony Zohrab acknowledged that while the offending had not involved entering people’s homes, and was conducted in a way that lessened the likelihood of any confrontation with homeowners, the impact on children in the community was significant. Victim impact statements from three property owners revealed the harm suffered by their children, who became frightened at the thought someone would break into their

house. Judge Zohrab said parents spoke of their children feeling unsafe, and endured increasing anxiety leading to “many nights of tears and lack of sleep”. Another talked about the “massive impact” on their child who began hiding pocket money under a pillow and asking “when will the bad man be coming back again”. In sentencing, Gear was also ordered to pay emotional harm reparation of $700 to each of the three victims who provided statements. Judge Zohrab said ideally he would have liked reparation for all, but that was not possible. O P E N

Mayors agree shipping a top priority JENNY NICHOLSON The Top of the South mayors met with National’s spokesperson for transport Simeon Brown on Thursday to lay out the priorities for the region’s connectedness. Richmond, Nelson and Marlborough mayors all agree that the top transport priority is the Interisland Resilient Connection Project (iREX) They say transport linkage between the North and South Islands is critical to the whole Top of the South region. IREX includes the replacement of interisland ferries with larger vessels that will cope with more freight, along with infrastructure work on the Picton Port. Tasman mayor Tim King says there has been significant investment by the Government in rail, but as one of the few regions with no rail, Nelson Tasman is reliant on shipping and roads. “Shipping is our rail,” he says. “I couldn’t overemphasise the importance of shipping to our region both now and going forward. It is crucial to the region.” He highlighted the importance of shipping in terms of shifting bulk in and outgoing freight in the region for those in forestry, fishing, farming, and agriculture. Tim says we are underinvested compared to what

Tasman has about 1.1 per cent of the population of New Zealand but is receiving considerably less than one per cent of transport funding. “Our community deserves to see the projects funded,” he says. “They have paid road user charges and would like to see some of the money come back to the region.” Nelson mayor Rachel Reese says our port is key. “It’s a strategic asset and a connection for our economy.” Collaboration between the mayors over the past few years has provided a stronger collective voice when seeking funding from the Government and Waka Kotahi. Some prioritised transportation projects are already being implemented and last week Waka Kotahi ap-

proved the Richmond Transport Programme Business Case, which was number two on the list of priorities presented to Simeon. “The approval means they agreed with the projects presented and the sequence they would be worked on over the next ten years,” Tasman District Council transportation manager Jamie McPherson says. “There are still several steps, and some projects in the proposal will need their own business case.” Other priority transport projects include the Nelson Future Access Project, the Nelson Tasman Public Transport improvements, The Berryfield/ Lower Queen St Intersection Upgrade, and SH60 Richmond to Motueka which is planned for later in the decade.

Feral cats killed to protect native species JENNY NICHOLSON

Sue (passenger seat) and Gavin O’Donnell (behind passenger) got a oneof-a-kind experience for their wedding anniversary on Wednesday. The couple and their friends Giselle and Brian Storer (middle and behind driver) were treated to lunch at the Little Engine Eatery at the Nelson Classic Car Museum before being driven in style to the Nelson Airport in a 1961 Ford Thunderbird. The four then got to try out Nelson Aviation College’s flight simulator before their driver Kate Cooper took them out onto the runway and put the pedal to the metal. The experience was donated by the museum and the airport to a Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nelson-Tasman fundraising auction. Photo: Max Frethey.

Road rage in Richmond

A 30-year-old man who punched a car, did a burn-out and drove off at the intersection of Richmond’s Salisbury Road and Champion Road on Sunday 22 May is due to appear in court in Nelson on 22 June. The man got out of a Honda and began smashing his fists onto the drivers-

side door of a Suzuki. He damaged the side mirror and dented the door. A member of the public intervened, and there was a verbal altercation between a number of people at the scene, before the driver returned to his vehicle and left the area. He faces several charges relating to the incident and a vehicle has been impounded.

Assault in Wakefield

A 57-year-old woman was assaulted in her car at Faulkners Bush on Friday evening after two youths reached in the passenger window and smashed her face with a blunt object leaving her with broken bones. The thieves then stole her purse and ran away. Police have taken a witness statement and have had the car checked for fingerprints.

GET YOUR GARDEN READY FOR WINTER

Feral cats are being caught and killed to protect native species in the Nelson Lake region. The Department of Conservation (DOC), in partnership with Friends of Rotoiti and the Kea Conservation Trust, have installed traps in both the St Arnaud village and the Nelson Lakes National Park. Wild cats are an ongoing problem and DOC biodiversity ranger Emma McCool says even a small number of cats are potentially devastating as they take on bigger prey than ferrets and stoats. “While stoats and ferrets cannot take out an adult kea, cats can,” she says. “To lose an adult kea would be a really big blow for Lake Rotoiti. They are just hanging on here.” Emma says one cat can do significant damage. “In Otago they found an insane number of geckos in the digestive system of a feral cat. It was mind-blowing. There were about 40 or 50 there.” Cats have been seen near kea and kiwi nests at the lake and have got as close as 500 metres from one nest. DOC traps have an electronic system that alerts them when a cat enters the trap. The traps hold food for the cat and have a closedin area so they can shelter if there is nasty weather. The region has a cat register which is updated annually and trappers each have a copy of it. It is rare for pets to be trapped,

Once it is ascertained the cat is feral, they are euthanised with a .22 rifle. Emma says it is all very quick. A local resident says he has native birds on his property and traps the wild cats to protect them. “Killing feral cats is a very emotive issue,” he says. “We always make the distinction between pet cats and wild ones. We check the register and encourage locals to keep the list updated.”

WITH STIHL SHOP

He agrees with Emma that the behaviour of feral cats is quite different from pet cats in a cage. “We are not trying to be nasty. There is food for them, the traps are checked daily, and if a pet cat does get trapped they don’t suffer at all.” Emma says responsible cat ownership is also an important contribution to decreasing the problem. Desexing pets to avoid expanding the feral population unnecessarily helps reduce the problem.

Court roundup Tracy Neal

Open Justice Reporter

Judge: ‘Nelson needs people like you’

A repeat drink driver who drives a city rubbish truck has been allowed to apply for a limited licence so he can keep working. “Nelson City needs people like you, but what we don’t need is people who keep drinking and driving,” a judge told Allen Colin Hart, who appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday on his fourth drink drive charge.

Hart admitted driving with excess breath alcohol on April 17 this year, after he crashed his car on the Korere/Tophouse Rd. He was found with twice the legal breath alcohol limit after the accident which prompted a wide emergency response. Hart told police he had been driving a relative home from hospital when the crash happened. The court heard that Hart had previous drink-drive offences in 1992, 2006 and 2014. Judge Richard Russell told Hart that it was clear from references provided to the court that he was a hard worker and that while he

WEDNESDAY 1 June 2022

provided a reason for driving that day, his history indicated he should never have been behind the wheel after drinking. “At your age you should be getting on top of this,” Judge Russell said. He convicted and fined Hart $2000, disqualified him from driving for 13 months and ordered nine months’ supervision. Hart was also granted eligibility to apply for a limited licence so he could continue working. “My very strong advice to you is, if you’re drinking, then don’t drive,” Judge Russell warned.

Asleep at the wheel

A woman who fell asleep at the wheel while stopped at an intersection had taken blood pressure medication, then had a drink. It was late one night in March when Kathleen Lorraine Wilkinson headed out for a drive, to get something to eat in Richmond. She pulled up at an intersection, and then fell alseep, prompting members of the public to help her. Police prosecution said she was later found to be driving at twice the legal blood alcohol level, with 100 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in her system.

The legal limit is 50 mg. She told police she was “just going for a drive” and did not think she would be over the limit. Wilkinson’s lawyer Dave Holloway said she had been very tired, and had mixed alcohol with blood pressure medication. She was convicted and fined $500 plus courts costs and analysts fees. O P E N

More than $6,000 has been raised for the Nelson Regional Breast and Gynaecological Cancer Trust following the Girls Day Out afternoon tea at the Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre on Sunday. The event was held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and provides some much-needed support to the trust at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in fewer donations to charitable organisations. The trust provides many forms of support for local women experiencing breast or gynaecological cancer such as childcare, financial support, bill payment during treatment, and physical recovery postsurgery. Trust ambassador Dr Ros Pochin was the guest speaker of the event, and other organisations that help women battling with cancer were also profiled, such as Look Good Feel Better and MyReflection.

Success at Fossil Creek leads to growth JENNY NICHOLSON A young girl who has difficulty managing her emotions transforms into a completely different person during her time at Fossil Creek farm. Youth Nelson manager Maree Shalders says it’s clear the farm environment has done amazing things for the girl. “It’s quite magical,” Maree says. “It’s an incredibly valuable resource in the community. After time at the farm, we see an opening up of young people who have been closed down.” Following the success of animalassisted therapy at Fossil Creek farm, owners Lloyd Tibble and Jude Porteous have recently added further services, staff, and overnight accommodation. A year ago, Jude was the only therapist working but, with 80 to 100 clients each week, there are now four more staff: two fulltime and two part-time. They also have a herbalist and Japanese massage therapist onsite and are in the process of adding another part-time therapist. The first of three tiny homes planned for the 100-acre prop-

The idea is that they can assist with intensive therapy, but they are not just open to clients, others stay and just enjoy the farm or come for respite from caregiving. For Lloyd and Jude, the farm isn’t

a job, it’s a lifestyle. They don’t just offer the tiny home; they often have children who are clients stay with them in the house or the nearby cabin. Lloyd says schools are also beginning to use the facility, with

groups of eight attending at a time. It’s a place with strict boundaries of no violence or verbal abuse. “It needs to be a safe place for everyone to come,” Lloyd says. “They can be staunch and street

wise when they first arrive, but there is soon a breakthrough when they realise they don’t have to put up a front here at the farm.” Lloyd says the variety of animals on the farm is part of the beauty of the therapy, with different people relating to different animals. There are 13 different kinds of animals in a total of about 120, which include horses that have themselves been rescued. “Some of the mini ponies have bent noses but are still accepted by the herd. “This helps with the message that you can be different but still be accepted,” Lloyd says. “You may be different, but you still have a place.” He says alpaca are nervy animals who are always on the lookout. Jude takes clients with ADHD into their paddock and explains the need to be very still and quiet so the alpacas will be comfortable with coming near them. “It’s amazing. The children will sit still for 30 minutes,” he says. “We didn’t know it would happen, but being in the paddock with the animals gives the children a reason to bring out their inner selfcontrol.”

New grants to fill hole in dental care JENNY NICHOLSON New changes to the way dental grants are paid out will help fill a gaping hole in how Kiwis on low incomes care for their teeth, a local dentist says. The changes, which come into effect in December, see dental grants for those on low incomes rise from $300 to $1000 a year. Local dentists say this change is significant beyond just better teeth and has overall health and social implications.

Local dentist Ben Simmons, who is the secretary of the local dental association, says dentistry is often seen as too expensive, and many avoid the dentist until they experience pain. “For those on low incomes this is even more stark. For those accessing funding through WINZ there has only been $300 available, and it has been for emergency care only.” He says that patients with multiple dental needs have to space out the care of their teeth due to the

WINZ limits. “$200 can be spent to fill and save a tooth one year or $250 to pull that same tooth two years later, and the government is likely to end up paying regardless.” The increase in funding means many on low incomes will have the opportunity for early dental treatment. Dentist Andrew Meffan says sore teeth can have broad implications such as indicators of social and domestic violence as well as general health problems.

Housing update Good news for first home buyers in Nelson! As part of Budget 2022 we’ve lifted the price caps for first home buyers so they can access Government grants to purchase their first home. First home buyers will be able to purchase an existing home up to a price of $650,000 and build a new home up to a price of $875,000. Many of you have asked for this and I’m pleased we’ve been able to respond to support more people into their first home. Nelson-Tasman is one of six regions that has been chosen for a new Affordable Housing Fund. Our region is eligible to apply for funding from a new $50m Affordable Housing Fund announced in Budget 2022. Alongside the work Kainga Ora are doing to increase state houses in Nelson, these homes will make a real difference for people in Nelson. Last week I spent time visiting community housing providers, building companies and supporting first home buyers access their grants. We know there’s more to do to fix our housing crisis, and the Government will continue to take action to make home ownership a reality for more Kiwis.

“Poor dental health is also a contributing factor to cardiac problems and diabetes,” Andrew says. He says the grant changes are a ‘big deal’ and the $1000 will cover a decent amount of dental care. It means the money can now be spread throughout a year and doesn’t have to be accessed in one lump sum. While previously people could only apply for the grant once a year, they can now apply as needed. Another change is that grants are no longer limited to infection and

pain but can include more proactive dental care, meaning necessary dental work can be done early. This reduces the incidence of people living for years with tooth pain and the need for extractions. Some local dentists have been providing ‘a bit extra’ for low-income patients. They say being able to book these patients in for longer sessions to treat more issues will enable dentists to fit even more value into treatment plans.

Quilt brings local history to life JO KENT Today sees the launch of a Tasman-wide project called ‘Stitch With Us’ which involves locals hand sewing individual squares that will make up a giant storytelling quilt. Richmond Library marketing and events coordinator Pania Walton says the theme of the quilt is ‘origins’ and the squares will represent the history of each person who chooses to take part. “We are asking people to stitch a word or image relating to their origins or whakapapa. Whether someone has lived in the Top of the South for five generations or five weeks, it doesn’t matter, just tell your story in the square.” The first community quilt was created in 2020 and was based on people’s experiences of lockdown. It was made up of 67 squares, each describing what that moment in

time meant to them. “The aim is to do a new quilt every two years. The quilts are all about celebrating our community and demonstrating our togetherness through a project which people complete independently but comes together as one at the end.” The finished quilt will be exhibited around the Top of the South, beginning with the Gallery Wall at Richmond Library in 2023. It will then travel to the other libraries in Tasman, whose members will have also submitted squares to the project. It’s open to all ages and abilities and crafters can also use textile paints, add an applique, crochet or embroider something on to the squares. Once all the entries have been returned by 30 September, Tākaka textile artist Christine McGuigan will stitch them together to make the final quilt.

Climate Action Week to educate on action

JENNY NICHOLSON Aoife Lutzmulalley is taking the opportunity to learn about climate change and hopes to win a prize for her artwork at the Nelson Climate Action Week. The Climate Action Week, hosted by Nelson Tasman Climate Forum, is a chance for people to learn about climate change and do something about it. “There is something for everyone, all ages and walks of life,” the forum’s communication manager Áine Byrne says. “The week aims to raise awareness and equip people with some solutions to the crisis our planet faces.” Áine hopes the event, which is the first of its kind in the region, will

make climate action more accessible and appealing. The week was inspired by the nationwide postcard writing campaign which encourages Kiwis to write to their MPs voicing their support for the Emissions Reduction Plan. Events include art and short story competitions, webinars, a documentary, and a panel discussion with Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council. “There will also be workshops on various climate-related topics including composting and biochar and neighbourhood resilience,” Áine says. The week of climate-focused events will be held from 4 to 11 June. For more information go to nelsontas manclimateforum.org

QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND 2022

At just 17 years old Richmond’s Paul Trolove set sail for the Antarctic, braving rough seas and the unknown. He, along with two others, was the first Queen’s Scout to make the trip. Sixty years on he is collating his memories of the 1961 trip of a lifetime into a book. Their trip on an icebreaker was through huge waves followed by ice so thick helicopters were sent out to find a way though. The icebreaker was pierced by ice and sent back to Lyttleton to have the hole repaired. Passengers were transferred to another vessel for the remainder of the trip. Sleeping quarters on the first ship were down below deck and Paul says it was noisy with his ears about 400 mm away from the ice they were crashing though. Days on board were spent doing chores assigned by a Petty Officer, including repairing canvas covers for the life rafts. Once at the base many days were spent erecting aerials for ionospheric research. Another task was exercising huskies by running alongside the sleds. “The huskies were chained up well apart at the base because they would fight among themselves,” Paul says. “Once they were on an expedition, they were happy and well behaved. They loved it.” Other days’ chores included filling the hopper with ice

A highlight was a trip to Shackleton’s Hut . “It was an historic hut,” he says, “but it housed quite a few people. It was very well preserved both inside and out.” To get to the hut, they travelled by United States naval helicopter, and before they could board, they had to sign a waiver for if anything went wrong. “At 17 you think you are invincible, but that got me thinking.” While at the hut they weighed and banded penguins and skua gull chicks. Another trip to Captain Scott’s hut was cut short when the weather turned nasty. Paul says in general their time in

Antarctica wasn’t cold and they could wander around in shirt sleeves, but if there was even a breath of wind it was bitterly cold. “Mum had knitted me a warm red woollen jersey and the Americans there would have paid anything for it. I kept it and now, 60 years later, my wife Lyn wears it on cold days.” With 24 hours a day sunshine, the team tried to keep to New Zealand time. They didn’t know the exact date of their return, with it depending on weather. The trip back was on a freighter which sailed effortless through the area that just three weeks before had been predominantly ice. “The whole trip was in summer, and it didn’t take long for an area to clear once the ice started to melt.”

TEMPORARY POWER INTERRUPTION FOR GOLDEN BAY SUNDAY 12 JUNE 2022, 9:00AM – 3:00PM Network Tasman needs to undertake essential planned work at our substation in Motupipi. Most of the electricity distributed in Golden Bay goes through this substation and the work is required to ensure a reliable power supply to the area. Unfortunately, the work cannot be undertaken while the substation is in service. MINIMISING DISRUPTION

Puponga

To minimise disruption Network Tasman will install a portable generator to keep the power supply on in selected areas. The generator will supply: Commercial Street Takaka excluding #1, 3, 194 & 199 - 203: side streets off Commercial Street between and including Junction Street to Feary Crescent; areas West of Takaka; Upper Takaka and the Takaka Valley through to but not including Central Takaka Road and East Takaka Road.

Customers in the generator supply areas will experience a brief outage when the generator is disconnected in evening.

Takaka

The generator is able to supply an area fed by a high voltage feeder line/cable. We have chosen these areas to maximise the benefit of the generator and keep supply on to as many customers as possible while avoiding areas where maintenance work will be undertaken. If we need to postpone the shutdown due to weather or a network emergency, the alternate date is Sunday 19 June. Network Tasman will also carry out localised maintenance on the distribution network while the substation is out of service.

PREPARING FOR THE OUTAGE 1. If a member of your household is medically dependent on electricity, you should contact your medical provider for advice. 2. Store enough drinking water from wells before the power goes off. 3. If required, fill your car with petrol the night before. 4. Please turn off stoves and heaters, and all sensitive electronic equipment before the shutdown, and ensure that they remain turned off until the power is restored. 5. For your protection, treat all lines, electrical installations and wiring as live during the shutdown.

All I can say is …… about bloody time! I’ve waited too long for this. Shayna Rose

I enjoyed reading the story about the old police station in Oxford Street because I have, at various times, lived in every one of the three flats it as divided into. It’s situated at a very nice corner and I really enjoyed those days. The article brought back warm memories. I just wanted to say that the jail buildiing was moved away some years ago to Washbourn Gardens further up Oxford Street. As I recall, it was given to the Tasman District Council by a previous owner as a bit of local history because (and this was true through my tenure there) there were frequently young idiots and snoopers (my words) who came at different times of night and day and treated the jail building inappropriately as a public property.

Support workers: ‘we are not valued’

Some of you will have done courses that are arranged by the industry. You all work very hard and should be on at least $30 an hr. The rest home management think nothing of increasing the rates. They make heaps of money and use you careers as cheap labour. They know how hard you work. The less they pay you the more profit they get. A lot of that goes out of NZ. Time for you to fight for a decent wage. And more staff. Bev Boucher Yes these wonderful people should be paid a lot more than just above minimum wage. Shortage of workers is already happening. Going to get worse if something is not done soon. Grace Clark

Local History exploring our

Proudly brought to you by...

Richmond’s old police station – Part two Constable Stan Stables was transferred to Richmond in 1955 when the population had grown to 2300. He remained in charge until 1969 and was a typical community policeman with a good relationship with the public. When he first moved to Richmond, he lived in a big old police house near the lock-up in Oxford Street. A new house and station were later built in Queen Street, where they remain today. Working conditions were good except that with only one policeman the working day never ended and people would call in at all hours of the night – mainly with domestic disputes. The constable ran his own car for which he received an allowance. Richmond was not allocated a police car until after his departure. The issue of new uniforms was a highlight as the old ones were extremely uncomfortable and were

often taken off when not out on the beat. During his term in Richmond, Constable Stables played a part in what was to become known as “The Banham Murder”. On being advised there was a body tied up with ropes by the side of Pugh Road, he went to the scene and called Nelson Police Station. Later, he attended the Supreme Court hearing in Wellington. The lock-up at Richmond was not used very often and then only for the occasional drunk or for a few hours while accused persons were waiting to be taken to Nelson. Three years after Constable Stables left Richmond for duty in the Arms Office in Nelson, the town’s police staff increased to three constables and a police car was provided. Constable Roy Cooper was Richmond’s last constable in charge for a period of three years but served there from 1969-1984. When the

The police station as it looked in 1983 after it was turned into rental flats. Photo: David Runnacles and Lance Gray. Stoke station was closed in 1971, the two areas merged and Constable Cooper was joined by Constables Owen Randall, Shale Solly and Jeff Stilwell. Burglar alarms became the ‘in thing’ during this period and, night after night, Roy Cooper

would be woken by alarms going off. He’d get out of bed and go to investigate only to find that he’d gone to a false alarm. However, one time an alarm went off, but he was too tired to investigate so stayed in bed. In the morning, he discovered a

jeweller’s shop had been subjected to a smash and grab raid. One of Roy Cooper’s experiences in Richmond illustrated the advantage of being known in the community. A mentally ill man threatened to commit mayhem with a chainsaw, and police from Nelson were called in. But little progress was made as the man saw them as just ‘policemen’. When Constable Cooper arrived as the ‘local cop’ he immediately had a calming effect and the man agreed to give himself up. The station closed in 1972 and from then on became a patrol base – the ‘winds of change’ had caught up with Richmond and the citizens no longer had their ‘community policeman.’ Extracted from The Nelson Police – the story of the Nelson Police District 1841 – 1986 by June E Neale.

Students at Tapawera Area School get hands-on during a recent fish migration workshop. Photo: Supplied.

Students get a fishy education JO KENT Primary pupils at Tapawera Area School were recently treated to a day of hands-on learning about local freshwater species, freshwater ecosystems, and fish migration. Organised by Enviroschools Tasman, the aim was to expand the work students have been doing on freshwater education and local river testing and research. Pupils were taught about the impact of pest species in our waterways and the importance of passable culverts to support fish migration. The day began with an informative presentation from Tasman District Council’s Jobs for Nature fish passage project manager, Kerry South. Kerry demonstrated how farmers and landowners can make their culverts fish-friendly as they head upstream to breed. Kerry is overseeing a five-year Jobs for Nature project funded by the Ministry for the Environment and TDC to improve fish diversity and abundance in the Tasman region. The focus of this work is to support private landowners by assessing in-stream structures and completing remediation where possible. “These improvements help assist fish with moving past, over or through existing in-stream struc-

tures. For new structures, we encourage landowners to get advice on how to ensure your installation is fish-friendly.” The children were then split into groups for a workshop rotation with Enviroschools facilitators and Department of Conservation staff, finding out about different aspects of native fish and waterways. A game involving rivers, lakes and pest species was a highly effective way of teaching how to prevent algae, such as didymo and lake snow, from spreading and fouling our waterways. Teacher Marion Townsend says it was a terrific learning event. “The day left us with a much-enriched understanding of how precious are our waterways and the native species that live in them, as well as an action plan for the future.” Enviroschools facilitator Brooke Walker said co-creating and experiencing World Fish Migration Day at Tapawera Area School has been a real joy. “It showcased how multi-agency collaboration, hands-on learning, and environmental education can easily fit into the curriculum and provide a fun day of learning. “Enviroschools aims to foster a generation of innovative and motivated young people who instinctively think and act sustainably.”

Jacqui enjoying the village’s beautiful atrium.

SUNSHINE, TALENT AND COMMUNITY TEMPT JACQUI TO ERNEST RUTHERFORD Although Ernest Rutherford’s sales advisor Jacqui Clarke is new to the village, she is no stranger to Ryman Healthcare. Earlier this year, Jacqui moved from Shona McFarlane Village in Lower Hutt, where she started her journey with Ryman over five years ago, to Ernest Rutherford and is ‘over the moon’ to call Nelson home. “The people are so friendly, and I love the climate.” The sunshine is a definite attraction, but Jacqui is also looking forward to snow on the mountains and making the most of everything the region offers. With a degree in Art History, she has a special interest in the galleries and talented artists Nelson is renowned for and she is excited to bring some of that talent to the village for the residents and community to enjoy. “I’m looking to hold an art exhibition in the spring at the village. We have the ideal space with our atrium and its indoor garden; the light is beautiful. It will be a great opportunity to showcase local artists’ work for our residents and the community to enjoy. “One of my first impressions of the village was how many talented residents live here. Writers, musicians, and artists; they are so stylish and live their lives to

the fullest and are still very much involved in helping others in the community.” Getting to know and be actively involved in her new community is very important to Jacqui. She recently attended her first community engagement presenting prizes on behalf of Ernest Rutherford village at the Tahunanui Golf Club, just one of the many clubs Jacqui is building relationships with. Jacqui has also appreciated the warm welcome from the team in the village and says she feels very fortunate to work with such friendly and dedicated colleagues. “Brent Maru is a great village manager and so easy to work with. He has good, open communication which is so important in this role.” Jacqui also loves the Ernest Rutherford village location in Stoke. “It’s easy to get to the shops, and almost everything is right on your doorstep.” However, if you would rather stay within the village, residents can take part in the many activities to keep fit and have fun, whether it’s a game of bowls on the all-weather green, taking a dip in the heated swimming pool or joining in the exercise classes. For a more relaxing time, the library has a great selection of books and games and there is always

someone to have a chat with in the sunny lounge. “We are delighted to have our superb café in the village, which is very popular with residents and locals. It’s a great spot to enjoy the view of the garden and sample our freshly made home-baked goodies.” Having a choice of townhouse or apartment living means there is something here for everyone, and if you are looking for a little more assistance the village also offers elegant one bedroom serviced apartments with stunning views and easy access to all the amenities in the village without having to step outside. “Ryman Healthcare’s ethos of ensuring everything is ‘good enough for mum and dad’ is at the heart of everything we do in the village, so it is important that we offer you not only a new home for now, but the security of knowing we will be with you every step of the way, to give you peace of mind in the years to come.” Jacqui understands that everyone’s journey is unique and welcomes your interest. She is ready to spend time to listen and work with you to find what is important in your move to a new lifestyle and a new home.

Proudly supporting The Car Company Nelson. Congratulations on 26 years.

Advert

A stalwart in Nelson Tasman since 1996, established, locally owned vehicle dealership, The Car Company has been the go-to for many customers when purchasing a car. The longstanding and trusted team have earned the right to its success, building a solid reputation on not just offering value for money, a variety of vehicles and huge volume of stock, but also through referrals, recommendations and a long history of repeat business. Owners Ben Brownie and Shane Drummond have been main players in the industry for a combined total of over 50 years, and credit the company’s position of strength to building honest and trusted connections worldwide. “Building a strong rapport with our clients, no matter where in the world they are, is key. Our customers can trust us to back ourselves when we say we will deliver on something. We have clients that will call and purchase a car from us without even seeing it because they know we will do everything we can to get them exactly what they want.” Great camaraderie between the staff of over 20 employees is also key to the business’s success, says Ben. “Our team work hard and play hard. A lot of our staff have been with us for over ten years - we have had people like Chris McQuade work here for more than two decades - that says a lot about our workplace environment. We have the same rapport with our clients. People can trust us to be upfront, provide honest feedback and make decisions easily. They know we will see right by them, every time.” The Car Company’s foresight to adapt, often ahead of the game, has seen them in good stead over 1. 2. their 26 years. “Adaptability in changing times is definitely one of 1.

As well as this, and in honour of their 26-year birthday celebrations, The Car Company have heavily reduced the price of all their vehicles for the entire month of June. “We are celebrating our years in the industry by offering well over half a million dollars’ worth of savings across all our branches.” Their many successful years in business is certainly something to be proud of and worth celebrating, but also at the forefront of the team’s mind is supporting the local community. A huge contributor to the region, The Car Company is a major sponsor of development sports including rugby, cricket, soccer, bowls and basketball, and are key advocates of Women’s and Children’s Refuge and Menz Shed, along with countless other community groups. “We are locally owned and locally operated, working with local people and making local decisions. So, giving back to the community that we are a part of is important to us as a business, and a huge part of our philosophy.” The convenience of being a one-stop-shop makes arranging purchases from The Car Company easy for customers, with them having the ability to process immediate finance approval, insurance and warranties, leasing and – utilising their fully equipped 3.

EDUCATION CAREERS AND

Kip McGrath Nelson Tasman is led by an approachable, enthusiastic teacher/ director, Zoe Eggleton. The centre provides small group, face-to-face tuition in Reading, Writing, Spelling and Maths. A primary teacher with over 30 years’ experience, Zoe says, “I love seeing a positive change in a student’s confidence and their willingness to take risks in their learning. Students attend because parents want to boost their child’s achievement in a particular subject, (catch up) or to extend their learning and achievement. At the initial assessment it is a team approach and I listen carefully to what everyone wants. My purpose is to pinpoint the skills we need to develop and set meaningful goals, then I can create a personalised plan that targets the child’s learning.” Kip McGrath has an international reputation as a trusted, innovative provider of quality supplementary education. Kip McGrath Nelson Tasman is located at 10 Kerr Street, Nelson. To book a free assessment, visit www.kipmcgrath.co.nz. Boarding at NCG – Where every student belongs.

QUEENS BIRTHDAY weekend

There is so much to see and do in our region to fill the days, check out these great places to spend some time, and have a great weekend.

1. 2.

Fun facts about Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926. To parents the Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother).

5. 6.

The Queen has two birthdays. Her actual birthday - 21 April – and her official birthday, which is held on a Saturday in June – when the weather’s better!

She was crowned Queen on 2 June 1953. Watched by a TV audience of 20 million people.

8. She owns an elephant, two giant turtles, a jaguar and a pair

even Queen Victoria (her great-great-grandma!).

9. She has many hobbies. Including horse riding, pigeon racing,

3. She is the longest reigning monarch ever in Britain. Beating 4.

As Queen, she has been served by 14 UK Prime Ministers. Including Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher and more recently, Boris Johnson. She’s the only person in the UK allowed to drive without a licence. And she still drives to this day!

The Queen first sent an email in 1976 … and published her first Instagram post in 2019!

of sloths. Presents from other countries, all of which live in London Zoo.

and football - she’s an Arsenal supporter!

10. Even the monarch can go undercover sometimes.

On a recent low-key trip to Scotland, she met some American tourists while walking. When the tourists asked if she lived locally, she mentioned that she had a house nearby, and when asked if she’d ever met the Queen she simply pointed at her security and said, “No, but he has!”

Local women supporting the local community Staying true to their ethos of supporting locals, trusted boutique fashion store Stacey Clothing hosted a successful Pink Ribbon fundraiser event for The Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, on May 26, donating every dollar raised to the important organisation. “It was an awesome night”, says owner Jackie Gibs-Beatson. “It is the first time we have hosted a ticketed event like this, and it went brilliantly, we had so much fun!” Decking the store with all things pink, two Stacey clothing $500 vouchers to be won, a raffle for an Augustine by Kelly Coe kimono and plenty of spot prizes on offer, Jackie says a fantastic night was had by all who attended. Charging well past their original fundraising goal, the team thanks everyone who supported the event and adds it is not too late to make a donation. “Supporting local is part of our philosophy, and Pink Ribbon is such an important cause.” A link is still available via the Stacey Clothing Facebook page and all proceeds go directly to The Breast Cancer foundation NZ.

Bringing a personal touch to quality craftmanship Coming from humble beginnings, the lovely ladies at Quality Crafts Nelson have teamed up in their newest venture, bringing quality handmade works to the local scene. Kay Peterson, Anja Milton and Kim Willis met as stallholders at the Richmond Baptist Church Boot Market, and Kay says, “We decided to get our own business together from there.” They branched out their own, creating a bi-monthly online market hosted via social media on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, and hosting a physical market inside the Richmond Baptist Church every third Saturday. “We have handmade original crafts, cards, gorgeous jewellery and driftwood art available, and everything in between,” says Anja. “Word is getting out about what we do, and it has been all go from there!” With regular marketers and many new crafters joining the contingent, the ladies are excited to see what the future holds. The online markets are hosted via their Facebook page with photos of the gorgeous crafts uploaded and customers can purchase directly from the warmth and comfort of their own home. “It really adds the personal touch,” says Kim.

A lust for life and a passion for perfection, Jess Wells owner of gib-stopping business No Stopping Jess, is an unstoppable inspiration in the industry. Fuelled by the support from those around her, Jess has been honing her skills in the gib-stopping profession since 2004, finally branching out on her own in 2010. After a brief hiatus, Jess is back in the game and credits her success with the unwavering loyalty of her clients and close friends in the industry. “I completed my apprenticeship with Bruce Wilson from Enterprise Painting and Decorating, he has been an awesome teacher and I am grateful for his guidance. Deb and the team at Trowel Trades in Richmond have also been fantastic, as have gib-stoppers Carl Monopoli and Andy Steveson, and local builders Rex Johns and Charlie Shannon. Without the support from all of these people, my clients, and others in the industry, I couldn’t do what I do.” Sporting a new logo and signage on her trade vehicle, Jess says the image of a hawk holding a trowel in its claws perfectly reflects her message. “I wanted to have something creative and significant. The logo is ideal as they are tools that I use every day in my work and the image can be interpreted in different ways.” Excited for what the future holds, Jess remains tightlipped, simply saying, “watch this space!”

Home Grown Heroes nominations open Do you know someone who gives up their free time to help provide sport and recreation in the region, or maybe you think you took the best photo in the last year of sport and recreation? Entries and nominations are now open for Sport Tasman’s 2022 ASB Home Grown Heroes awards. The categories are the Good Sorts Award, the Time To Shine award, the Best virtual sporting moment and the Mana award. Sport Tasman sports development lead Ryan Edwards says the awards are an opportunity to celebrate those people who don’t traditionally receive thanks for their hard work. “With our ‘good sorts’ award, there’s so many people who give up so much of their time and

apart from an odd ‘thank you’, don’t get recognition. “You roll around in various sports circles and you hear about these amazing people who never get recognised.” He says the awards are also a chance for everyone in the community to say thank you to those who put in a giving hand. “Your rugby, football, basketball, they’re in the newspaper all the time and it’s those kinds of smaller sports that get the opportunity for people to be recognised.” Even if your nominee isn’t a winner, they will still receive an email from Sport Tasman acknowledging them for all the hard work they put in. The Top South Media Good Sorts Award is for someone who might have given up substantial time as

a volunteer, made a significant impact on their club, community, organisation or school, or shown commitment to developing themselves or others. The award will have an over and under-24-yearold winner in each region. The Sport Tasman Time to Shine award is for someone who gets

the people smiling with good times and an open-door attitude to everyone. The Sport Tasman Best virtual sporting moment is for those epic moments caught on camera. The photo must have been taken between 1 January 2021 and 30 April 2022 and involve sport or

active recreation in Nelson/Tasman or Marlborough. No professional photography is allowed and pictures cannot be edited or enhanced, with one winner in each region. Defined in English as ‘influence, prestige or power,’ mana isn’t something you can take; it is something earned. The ASB Mana award is for someone who has earnt mana and recognition at the highest level as either a player, coach, manager or official, or is earning it through giving back at a community grassroots level, with only one winner across both regions. More information on nominations and criteria can be found at https://www.sporty.co.nz/asbhome grownheroes.

Big wins for top teams in premier netball comp JACK MALCOLM Despite the scoreline, Nayland College Senior A tested Prices Waimea Ahurei in their 66-24 loss at Saxton Stadium. In other results from week four of the NBS Premier Netball Competition, FCL Nelson Men’s beat Prices Waimea Pango 84-24, Nelson Girls College Senior A beat Richmond F45 55-51 and Jacks OPD beat Jacks B 87-13. Nayland came out with a point to prove in the first quarter, going into the break trailing by just three points after restricting Prices to just 12 goals. Prices came into the game as the clear favourite and there was no denying their stranglehold over the game from its outset. They outscored Nayland in a sluggish start and their maturity was evident in the way they responded to the early adversity. They changed their approach after the first quarter and Nayland failed to respond, managing just three points in both the second and third quarters. Prices’ shooting combination of Dayna Kerr and Chelsea Reed were deadly on the offensive, rarely missing their steady supply of opportunities.

Nayland were led by captain Saskia Hall but when she went down early in the second quarter after falling awkwardly, her team struggled to reconnect their combinations on defence. For the remainder of the game they would shuffle their players around, with a change midway through the third quarter that saw almost all of their players swap bibs. Dayna, who also coaches the Nayland team, says they found themselves on the backfoot with Saskia going down injured which interrupted their defensive flow. “When Saskia went down it definitely changed the momentum. Losing that leadership on the defence, it took a little bit to adapt. “We had a few injured and three sick as well, so we had five fit players.” She says Xanthe Banks, who started in GD then moved to GK, had a standout game having not played in the defensive circle this season before tonight. “She stuck to the game plan and wasn’t afraid to get in the thick of it. “For us, our aim is to keep improving each week and although the score was big, we are seeing those improvements as a team and individually.”

Seventy-five year old Greg Buck is hard at work preparing for the Va’a World Waka Ama Sprint Championships in London this August. Since starting the sport in 2012, he’s raced in almost every event he could and has kept a record of almost every paddle he’s ever done. His log book spans over 45 pages of detailed notes on everything from the crew to the sea conditions. As a masters paddler based in Nelson, Greg has had to team up with a squad from Ratana Paa Kaihoe Trust from Whanganui to compete at the world champs. “For me, it’s not that different ... but for them, they’ve had to do what I did and come into a crew late,” he says. With intentions of a podium finish, he says he’s paddling between

four and five days a week to prepare. “You’re always up against very stiff competition. You wouldn’t know who’s going to be good until you get there.” With training in the North Island once a month and international travel, Greg says it will cost thousands of dollars to compete. While he’s applied for funding, he says he expects to have to fund the trip himself and through fundraising. You can email him to organise a paddle, which he says would be perfect for a family or work-do, for a koha to his competition fund. He is also very interested to hear from anyone who would like to support the growth of competitive masters sport within the region. You can reach him at gsbuck@netz. co.nz

Jarrod West’s 25 points and six assists weren’t enough for the Nelson Giants as a poor fourth quarter sees them fall short of the Hawke’s Bay Hawks before they go on the road this week. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

Big week for Giants after tough loss JACK MALCOLM The Mike Pero Nelson Giants have a difficult road ahead of them with two games in three days after a tough defeat to Hawke’s Bay Hawks, 73-82 last weekend. The Giants play on Thursday in an away match against the Southland Sharks before a rematch against the Otago Nuggets, who now sit first-equal on the table after not having their imports in their first-week loss to the Giants, on Saturday. They will be hoping for the return of their star player and the league’s top scorer, Trey Mourning, who was relegated to bed with sickness but not testing positive for Covid-19. Fellow import Jarrod West stepped up to the plate in Trey’s absence, leading the team with 25 points and six assists, while recently arrived import Sam Thompson took his time to acclimatise.

Sam missed his first 13 shots before making two big buckets back to back as his new team’s momentum was looking like it might start to slip. Nelson trailed by three points at the first break before taking a two-point lead to end the second and third quarters. The stage was set for an exciting finale, but a poor fourthquarter performance by the home side saw the Hawks race out to their biggest lead of the game. Before the final quarter the largest lead of the game had been just eight points, but the Giants were outscored 22-11 as they struggled against an adapted zone defence that smothered their attacking potential. They were also on the wrong side of the referees, with several big calls going unnoticed as the Giants went to the line for free throws just seven times. The Hawks went to the line 23

times and reaped the rewards, with 18 points coming off fouls as they got their opponents in foul trouble early. When Jordan Schwalger fouled out with seven minutes to go, head coach Mike Fitchett had to delve deep into his bench to adapt. Mike says, while they had some success, it wasn’t enough. “We want to win.” He says the absence of Trey was undoubtedly a blow, but he was happy with how the team responded. “They did what I expect them to. They always play with passion. “Jarrod West led us around the court really well. His defence again was excellent. He really stepped up to the mark.” Shooting 27 from 79 on the floor, Mike says they struggled with their shooting all night. “The zone really slowed us down. We had no real answers for that.”

It’s a funny thing - Coastguard are the last people you ever want to need but tell you what, you’re really pleased to see them if you ever do need to make a call out. It’s a sentiment Coastguard Nelson hear a lot, “man are we glad to see you guys!” As a fishing club, choosing Coastguard Nelson as the recipient of our fundraising from the 2022 Snapper Cup fishing comp, was a bit of a no-brainer. While they get some government funding, this is not nearly enough to cover costs, so they rely hugely on fundraising to be able to continue doing the amazing work they do. Seems like nearly every week you read of an epic rescue being carried out in our region, and that’s

not to mention the smaller jobs they get called out to every day that don’t make the front page. As a boating family, we get a Coastguard membership every year. If you get in trouble at sea, no matter if it’s kitesurfing, kayaking or on a big launch, they’ll come help get you home. Even if you’re not a member! But when the annual membership fee is a fraction of the possible call-out fee (and you can use it as many times as you need) - joining Coastguard is also a no-brainer. It was with great pleasure that the Dawnbreakers Fishing Club was able to present this cheque to long time Coastguard volunteer Pete Kara and President Clive Paul. Keep up the great work Coastguard Nelson – we appreciate it!

“Part of our journey is to get our girls prepped and ready if the opportunity to get into Christchurch’s Women’s Premier League arises.” He says the injury to Libby Hayday, who scored all four of her team’s goals in their openinground win over Richmond, is a step back but one they’ve taken in their stride. “We have good depth and it’s an opportunity for someone else to step up.” The Kate Sheppard and Chatham Cups are New Zealand’s premier knockout tournaments in women’s and men’s football. Starting each year with between 120-to150 teams in each competition, it’s a win or go home format as teams fight for their spot in the finals in September. Last year’s Chatham champions were Cashmere Technical, who defeated Miramar Rangers 4–2 in the final. The Kate Sheppard Cup is held by Wellington United, who beat Hamilton Wanderers 1-0 in last year’s final.

Round two of the national Kate Sheppard Cup and Chatham Cup competitions see back-to-back games for local football fans this long weekend. Nelson Suburbs FC Women’s 1st XI play host to Christchurch’s Coastal Spirit at 11am on Monday at Saxton Field before FC Nelson and Nelson Suburbs kick off at 2pm, with the location not confirmed at the time this article went to print. After a 4-0 win in the first round for the Suburbs Women, they have a tough test ahead of them in Coastal Spirit, who started the competition with a 6-0 win over Universities. Coastal Spirit are traditionally one of the strongest teams in the Christchurch region and currently lead their women’s premier league with a 5-0 record. With Amelia Abbot and Anna McPhie back in Nelson Suburb’s ranks, they believe they have the firepower to challenge the best in

the competition. They will also be bolstered by Football Fern Gabi Rennie, who currently resides in Nelson with her partner and was eager to get out against her old counterparts, having grown up in Canterbury. It’s the best side the club has ever fielded, says co-coach Matt Watkinson. “We rate our chances.” After being unavailable with commitments to studying and playing at the University of Texas in Austin, Amelia did not play in the first round of the competition. She is a talented midfielder with experience above her years at just 20 years old. She made her Football Fern debut last year having previously played at U17 and U20 level for her country. Her goal in the U17 World Cup quarter-final was nominated for goal of the tournament and secured the team a semi-final spot where they would go on to win bronze. The next year she was instrumental in securing a world cup spot for the U20 team before it was

We want to develop a better picture of potentially flood-prone areas. The work is non-intrusive, won’t damage your property and doesn’t require entry to any buildings. Survey staff will endeavour to introduce themselves to you if you’re at home. Every person will carry official identification and will have a special letter of introduction from us. All properties being surveyed will have received a letter explaining what we are doing. The letter also contains the contact details of our project manager in case there are specific questions about the work or concerns about access, safety issues (for example dogs on the property) or specific times when access would be allowed.

Three Waters Reform progresses The Government’s Three Waters Reform is progressing, and we are monitoring developments and assessing the available information to determine how Tasman will be affected. Recent developments include the release of the report by the independent working group around governance, representation and accountability for Water Services Entities. The Government subsequently announced that 44 of the 47 recommendations made in the report will be incorporated into the legislation introduced to Parliament. The Water Services Entities Bill is expected to be introduced to the House in mid-2022 and we will be able to make submissions on the Bill when it is referred to the Select Committee shortly after. However, until the bill is introduced, we cannot be certain of the final structure that Tasman and other councils will operate under and therefore can’t make a definitive statement on what our submission will entail. The impending legislation establishing the new Water Services Entities will reflect five key areas: ownership, co-governance, accountability, Te Māna o te Wai and strengthening connections with local communities, including sub-groups feeding into the Regional Representative Group. The legislation outlined in the Water Services Bill represents one pillar of the national water reforms – the others being the establishment of the new water services regulator Taumata Arowai and reforms to water delivery services. It’s important to differentiate that Taumata Arowai governs the health of the water being delivered and the national direction set within Te Māna o Te Wai which guides the protection and wellbeing of our freshwater. Each plays a significant part in the overall water service delivery, with all combining to govern the safety and security of water from source to the tap. The DIA website provides a detailed breakdown of the reform programme: dia.govt.nz/three-waters-reform-programme.

Peaceful towns art competition begins We're inviting young Tasman artists to join this year’s ‘Peaceful Towns’ art competition. As a member of the international Mayors for Peace network, Tasman Mayor Tim King is encouraging the young people of Tasman to join the global art competition to explore and promote peace in our communities. We will accept artwork of youngsters aged 6 – 15 who live or study in Tasman. A panel of judges will select the five best artworks in each of the two age categories (6 – 10 years and 11 – 15 years) and Mayor Tim will announce them at the opening of a special art exhibition in September. Selected works will be sent to the Mayors for Peace Secretariat in Japan. The artwork that wins the Mayors for Peace President's Award International will be used to promote awareness of the importance of peace education on various occasions. The deadline for entries is Monday 22 August. Find out more on our website, tasman.govt.nz, search ‘peaceful towns’.

Moturoa / Rabbit Island – Nelson Marlborough Fish & Game pheasant hunt Public access to the eastern half of Moturoa / Rabbit Island will be closed for three organised game bird hunts this winter. The closure will include all of the beach front at the eastern end. The first of these hunts will take place on Saturday 4 June, 7.00 am – 1.00 pm (Sunday 5 June reserve day). For more details contact Jacob Lucas at Nelson Marlborough Fish & Game: jlucas@fishandgame.org.nz.

Get funding for your community project Do you have an exciting community project in the pipeline? Community Grants help get some of our most valuable community projects off the ground, and this round of funding is open until 31 July 2022. Funding is available for projects that are either Tasman-based or will benefit Tasman residents, meet a community need and have community support. Visit tasman.govt.nz/grants for more information and to apply.

Early ideas received for Richmond South Thank you to everyone who recently shared views and ideas for the future of the area south of Richmond towards Hope, as part of our Reimagining Richmond South project. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and creativity about how this area might grow to become a place where more people can live, work, and spend time. We collected feedback in April, building on what we learned from our first round of engagement late last year. We held webinars, visioning sessions, workshops, and received detailed feedback via our website. When considering housing, respondents generally saw a need for affordable, well-designed terraced houses, low-rise apartments, and two-to-three storied houses that have access to quality shared spaces. There was also a focus on walkable communities, cycle links and public transport as ideas to help reduce carbon emissions and combat rising fuel costs. We heard there’s broad consensus that productive land is highly important and needs to be carefully considered when planning for the growth of Richmond and Hope. Some feedback noted that while productive land is very important for the Tasman region, productivity in the focus area is limited by existing fragmentation and cross-boundary effects. We’re looking forward to engaging on the more detailed next phase of this project later in the year. This third round of engagement has been pushed back to allow time for direction from the new Future Development Strategy to inform the possibilities for growth in the area.
