Flying tramps wreak havoc JO KENT The wild weather across the region last week saw trampolines flying across the district, with one making a journey of almost a kilometre. Loren May says that her trampoline just “took off ”, smashing one of her windows and denting the frame before jumping the fence and crashing into a neighbour’s garage door. “We were a bit chilly with a smashed window and bent frame that night, but glad no one was hurt. Sorry neighbours,” she says. Another family in Richmond lost their trampoline completely when it flew up into the air, rolled across a neighbour’s roof and ended up in a creek 1km away. Danielle Maree Limmer says she watched it take

off like a helicopter before it flew away. “We’re up the top of Champion Road on a brand-new subdivision still being developed, so it’s very open. I had my sister-in-law here doing my hair and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the tramp lifting. It was like a helicopter hovering, then it just took off.” The $550 trampoline rolled over the back of the neighbour’s house and on to the roof, before disappearing up the street. She took to Facebook to try and find where the trampoline had ended up. “If anyone finds a Probounce tramp… let me know as ours has taken off.” At around the same time, someone posted in a

Good Bitches need bakers JO KENT An organisation which donates home-baked goods to local charities is currently looking for volunteers in the Nelson Tasman region. “Anyone can be a Good Bitch,” says Head Bitch Lucy Williams, who regularly bakes for the organisation Good Bitches Baking from her Brightwater home.

“Male or female, it doesn’t matter. We are just here to give a moment of happiness to people going through a tough time, with our home-baking.” The nationwide organisation provides local charities, such as Age Concern, Nelson Tasman Hospice and the Cancer Society with weekly drop-offs of home-baked goodness. “We have 15 recipients of our baking each week and over 100 volunteers

in this area, but we need more to be able to keep up with the weekly donations.” In July alone, there are 60 requests for treats, which means over 720 muffins, cookies or slices will need to be baked. “Volunteers generally do one ‘bake’ a week, which consists of 12 muffins or

Sixteen is a good age. You need young people to have their say so they are contributing and you are hearing their vision.

The way things are at the moment I haven’t got much faith in some of the young ones. Not all young ones are doing crazy things though.

I’m not sure. I’m not much into politics because it can divide families.

When I think of myself at 16, I think it is probably too young. If they express an interest then yes, but how many would be engaged in politics?

It was found to be Danielle’s trampoline, but the post prompted others to share photos of where their trampolines had ended up through-

out the day, with one over the neighbour’s fence and another caught up in a washing line. “It continued tumbling nearly 1km away down by Summerset Retirement Village and landed in the creek. My poor partner had to come home to try to find it,” Danielle says. “When he did, it was completely destroyed, so he had to pull it apart and get rid of it.

There’s no way we could’ve tied it down as we’ve just had new grass put down and it’s far too soft to peg it. We couldn’t put it upside-down either as it had safety nets attached.” Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade were called out to help rescue and secure Loren’s trampoline and say that people should take the time to make theirs safe during the stormy

season. The easiest way to do it is with pegs, but for waterlogged lawns or gravel and concrete bases, large heavy rocks or water-filled buckets or bins would work. Or try filling plastic bin liners with water and flopping them across the feet of the trampoline if you need to secure one temporarily in a hurry.

In fact, I often have leftovers which my husband Josh loves to eat.” To help organise who is baking what and when, volunteers are rostered in for a day of their choosing each month. “It’s a bake and take situation where volunteers make then deliver the goods to their designated recipient. Being able to help people in hard times is really rewarding and it’s a win-win for me as I love to bake – but don’t always want to eat my entire batch.” You don’t have to be a master baker because it’s the kindness in the intention that matters more than the final product. “I’ve been involved for three years, and it’s been great. Baking is my hobby anyway, and to know I’ve brightened someone’s day at the same time is wonderful.” If you’d like to get involved, email Lucy at nelson@gbb.org.nz.

Council purchase church site for $3m SARA HOLLYMAN Tasman District council has purchased the prime Methodist church site in Richmond for $3 million. TDC group manager community infrastructure, Richard Kirby, says the highly sought after corner section will provide the Council with a number of options in the future development of the town centre including the retention of a green space amenity, future office space or as an investment to benefit ratepayers. The 1,801m2 property on the corner of Queen St and Wensley Rd includes the Ernest Loney Memorial Methodist Hall, grounds and carpark, and was confirmed as unconditional on 8 July. Summit Real Estate listing agent Bevan Dixon says council were one of many interested parties. “It’s such a high-profile site, it’s a large piece of land to be sitting in the CBD and they’re [council] the smart ones because they took it out of the market.” Bevan says there was interest from around the country with people looking at purchasing

for a variety of different developments. “Tasman District Council will utilize it very well; I mean it gives them a home basically opposite their current site.” Richard says the purchase gives council strategic opportunity in relation to the option of potential re-development of the current office site. The Church Hall building located on the rear of the property is not considered an advantage in the long term. However, in the short-term, it could be fitted out and utilised as temporary additional office space. The funds to purchase came from a general property budget place holder in the 2021/31 Long-Term Plan. Council has until 2033 to either earthquake-strengthen

their current building or be forced to vacate, as the building has been found to fall below New Building Standards. A long-term solution for the future of the main council building would be considered as part of its next LTP 2024/34. Council is due to take posession of the church site on 19 August. The Parish has said it is pleased that the premises will remain in community ownership. The Richmond Methodist Church was originally built in Salisbury Rd in 1844 and was the first church of any denomination in Richmond. A subsequent two-storey Gothic Church was built on the Wensley Rd site in 1913 and the current Loney hall in 1952.

Councillors support move to lower voting age JENNY NICHOLSON They can leave home, leave school, get a job, get an adult passport, make a will, apply for a learner’s driver’s licence, apply for a firearms licence, and pay tax, but 16-year-olds cannot vote. Nelson City Councillor Matt Lawrey says if we give people the right to do all those things, then we can give them the right to vote as well. He joined Tasman District councillor Chris Hill and Nelson City councillors Rachel Sanson and Rohan O’Neill-Stevens in signing an open letter that supports lowering the voting age in local body elections to 16. Chris says 16-year-olds have a very strong investment in the future. “The framing of climate issues as ‘Our children’s climate’ is impactful and certainly orientates decision making to be more focused on the long term,” Chris says. “Better decision making is generated when the organisations that are making decisions have a more diverse makeup demographically - in terms of gender, ethnicity, and race, relationship orientation, employment, in-

The Court of Appeal has previously found that the voting age of 18 was age discrimination, and the Government had failed to justify it. However, they refused to issue a formal declaration of inconsistency. Last week, the Supreme Court began hearing Make it 16’s claim that preventing 16- and 17-yearolds from voting is unjustified age discrimination and therefore inconsistent with the Bill of Rights. Make it 16 are hoping they will issue a declaration. “If the Supreme Court issues a declaration, it will not overturn the law, but it will send a strong moral message to Parliament that this has to change,” says Make it 16 co-director Cate Tipler. “It will pressure our politicians to look at this serious human rights issue and how a voting age of 16 will uplift and strengthen the voices of young people in Aotearoa. Breaching our human rights just isn’t good enough.”

Covid kills concerts

A trio of after-work concerts planned for Sundial Square on Thursdays throughout July are the latest casualty of Covid. Tasman District Council had planned three pop-up music events starting on 7 July, but the first one was cancelled at the very last minute due to the Trasandinos singer isolating with Covid. Community Partnerships Officer, Yulia Panfylova, says, “Sadly, we had to cancel the second week’s Chill Out Concert too because The Harmony Hunters band were also isolating.” It’s hoped the third and final event will go ahead as planned on Thursday 21 July with three-piece band A Little.

Regional landfill financial surplus

The Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Business Unit’s finances show a surplus of $1.84 million for the year to 31 May 2022. The councils attribute the surplus to the higher than budgeted waste volumes, and lower than expected Unique Emission Factor (UEF). Total waste tonnage for the 2021/22 financial year was just over 81,000 tonnes, up about 3,000 tonnes on the 2020/21 financial year. UEFs are specially obtained emissions factors that are lower than the default industry-wide emissions average.

Proudly brought to you by...

A life cut short: Francis Otterson - Part 2 RUTH RUSS The well-liked, well-respected Francis Otterson was elected to the Provincial Council in September 1853. As a practical man and a good farmer, it was believed unreservedly that Otterson would do his best for the welfare of the district. Otterson told the guests at a celebratory dinner: “Though I might be a good farmer, I am a very bad speech-maker.” He thanked them for the honour and said he would “endeavour to make up what I lack in the gift of making speeches by doing all the good I can for the district”. His particular interest was in the quality of the roads, and despite his low confidence in his ability to speak, he managed to get cheers even when reminding the dinner guests that if they wanted good

roads, they would need to “put their hands into their breeches pockets” and pay tax. Tragically, just one year later, Otterson drowned. A spring snowfall melted and raised the levels of the Wairau River as Otterson travelled with three of his friends and a Māori companion. They had paused overnight at Tophouse; Francis was on his way to his recently granted 22,000 acre grazing lease on the Upper Awatere where he had sent ahead an advance flock of merino sheep. Mr Elliott said during the inquest that “in consequence of the swollen state of the river…we did not cross at the customary place”, but at a junction with a fall. The somewhat nervous Otterson was placated by Elliott, who suggested they swap horses as Elliott’s was the stronger. “I entered first,” said Elliott, “and found the river

The current caught the man and horse, but rather than being able to swim to safety, Otterson’s foot was caught in the stirrup. Elliott rushed into the chest-deep water to attempt a rescue, but in such conditions couldn’t support the weight of Otterson and the horse

against the current. Otterson’s death prompted letters to the paper lamenting the tragedy of so many drownings in the district, and also the general poor state of many colonists’ equipment. One saddler wrote, “I know for a fact, from the number of saddles that come under my eye, that scarcely any of the spring bars are

kept in proper order, and are thus rendered useless for the want of a little oil. At first sight any person may consider my remark as trivial and unimportant, but I should like to have ascertained the cause of Mr. Otterson’s foot being so fast [in the stirrup], and if the spring was at the time in proper order. If Mr. Otterson’s foot had been released, his life would have been saved.” Otterson’s obituary said: “To sum up his qualities in a few words, he was a kind husband and father, a sincere friend, and a thoroughly honest and upright man.” The respected man had an impressive funeral procession. Eight men carried the casket, followed by nearly a hundred horsemen, riding four abreast, and along with those following on foot, the procession extended nearly quarter of a mile.

Double celebration for Brightwater Seniors JO KENT Not only are the Brightwater Seniors Movement squad celebrating their second birthday, but the group has just secured funding to expand the venture to Stoke. The group was Initially set up by Jaimee Macdonald to encourage movement, mobility, and social interaction among seniors in the community. The group is now headed up by James Cooper. “We were approached by the ACC and Sports Tasman to establish a Stoke class because there is nothing else like it in the region,” James says. “We have people who are travel-

ling a long way to get here, so it makes sense to set one up in Stoke for residents out that way.” The venue is yet to be decided but the group will launch in spring when the weather warms up a bit. The exercise class was originally created after the first lockdown and went on to become the overall winner of the Nelson Tasman AgeConnect Champion awards last year. The awards recognise and celebrate people, businesses and organisations who help older people feel connected and part of the community. Led by Wanderers Community Sports Club, it has expanded from

one class with just six people to four classes a week with over 80 members participating in light movement exercises. Due to its success numbers keep growing, so another less-challenging class is launching in Brightwater on Fridays for those just starting out or who need to focus more on mobility rather than strength. “It’s turned into a really social activity for attendees, who always grab a coffee afterwards and look out for each other,” James says. “It’s such an awesome thing to be involved in and I’m so happy we are able to expand to Stoke as funding for that has now been secured.”

Due to bad weather, the Starrs resorted to Plan B – climbing the summit of Weissmies in Switzerland instead. Photo: Supplied.

Mission impossible for Starr family JO KENT With their Mont Blanc climb a nogo due to bad weather conditions, Simon Starr and his son Dean had to resort to Plan B – reaching the summit of Weissmies in Switzerland for their Hands Up For Hospice fundraiser instead. “Having arrived in Chamonix, France, late, due to flight delays from London and then major traffic disruption from Geneva, we were told of current forecasted conditions on Mont Blanc which were far from ideal,” Simon says. Warmer temperatures had made areas of the usual route extreme and risky with news of a fatality the day before of a climber who was caught in a rockfall along a section called the Grand Couloir. It was at this point their guides suggested it very unlikely that Mont Blanc would be their challenge. “With huge disappointment, but with a degree of appreciation that our team would not be taking unnecessary risks, we met the next morning to travel to the Italian town of Courmayeur, where we would stay at the Grand Torino hut for our next two days of active acclimatisation.” But Covid soon made its presence felt within the group, and numbers were reduced with two forced departures and the mood taking on a more desperate feel for the success of the mission. Their back-up summit of the Weissmies stands at 4017m and sits within the Pennine Alps in the Canton of Valais in Switzerland. “A three-hour road trip followed by a three-hour trek up to our next hut saw the thunderclouds roll in and suitably accompanied with a light show that would see this unfavourable weather put our possible climb at risk once more,” Simon says. However, with the final day upon them, they got word that it was all systems go. “A 4am head torch start saw Dean, our guides and I, commence our five-hour summit attempt.

Under their amazing guidance we reached the summit some two hours after sunrise to amazing vistas.” With their guides not wishing to spend too much time at summit height, it was straight back down to the hut and the three-hour trek back to the vehicles to return to base. “It was a brutal 14-hour day on tired legs and, for me, it was one of the hardest physical efforts I have ever undertaken. But we did it and, once again, I was the oldest man on the mountain.” Currently, the Hands Up For Hospice campaign has raised $48,279 from community fundraisers. Head of supporter engagement and income development for hospice, Donna Ching-Tregidga, says the donations were made up of a range of events including the Starr’s Trek to Mont Blanc, the first ever 12-hour dance-a-thon by long-time supporters Sioux Line Dancers, who raised $16,866.98, and events run by MediaWorks, including the Big Splash at Tahunanui and a quiz night as well as sponsorship from long term supporter NBS. “Every dollar raised as part of Hands Up for Hospice stays in the region and goes towards the $3 million shortfall we have in the community each year for specialist palliative care services ensuring we can continue, each month, to support approximately 240 patients with life limiting illnesses and their whanau.” The aim for Hands Up for Hospice is to become an annual campaign that encourages the community to get involved. “People can follow our social channels to find out how they can get involved next year and to find out more about up and coming events. In the meantime, we encourage the community to get behind us all year round so we can continue to provide services to our community.” To donate to the Starr Trek, go to Mont Blanc for Hospice at givealittle.co.nz.

Alan honoured for hours of service JENNY NICHOLSON Menzshed Waimea’s Alan Kissell received the Queen’s Service Medal for service to the community at the Christchurch Town Hall this month. After a high tea, Alan met with Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro. He says he was blown away by the award. “It was something I never expected.” Alan has been with Menzshed Waimea from the beginning. A public meeting 12 years ago resulted in a 35-person steering committee of which Alan was part. He saw the benefit not just for himself, but for others, in having a group where people could use their skills to help the community. “The driver for me was seeing people retire at 60 and become couch potatoes or develop health issues,” Alan says. “They went from a 40-hour work week to being sedentary.” The Queen’s Service Medal is a medal awarded by the New Zealand Government to recognise and reward volunteer service to the community and also public

Alan says, for him, it has always been about helping the community. Menzshed Waimea has run a lot of classes for those with intellectual disabilities and home-

schooled students. They have also supervised men from the corrections department who have had to give hours to serve the community. Alan says one of his highlights was working with RSE workers from Vanuatu who were forced

to remain in New Zealand due to Covid-19. Menzshed was approached and asked to teach them new skills. “We taught a group to build sheds. They can take that skill home to their village,” Alan says. “That was very rewarding.”

Alan says that from time to time he writes reports on what Menzshed has done in the community and those reports turn into many pages. Although he always coached sports during his working years, Alan found there wasn’t a lot of time to serve in other ways. Retirement has meant he now has the time and can help a lot more. In fact, he does over 40 hours each week with Menzshed. “It’s more than a full-time job.” A recent project saw the team building 16 big trailers for the Nelson Santa Parade and from the beginning they have been building predator traps. They are currently making about 100 for different groups, including the Tasman District and Nelson City councils. Along with carpentry, Menzshed offers a well-equipped engineering shed. “There are three or four men who have had engineering businesses who are creating amazing stuff,” Alan says. The shed is a fully-equipped workshop where men share their skills, work together on community and personal projects, and spend time with other men.

Tasman mayor Tim King unveiled a plaque in the grounds of the Wanderers Community Gym last week commemorating a donation made by the Pinegrove Trust to their grounds. “The gym was able to use the funds for preparing the ground for artificial turf to be laid which has transformed the functionality of that space for the whole community.” Laura Hill was a Brightwater resident who left her estate to the community for sports, education and conservation in the form of the Pinegrove Trust. The plaque is a permanent reminder of how her generous donation changed the face of the club forever. Photo: Supplied.

Pine trees a source of testosterone JENNY NICHOLSON A waste product from one of the region’s largest exports may be the source of income and wellness. Pine pollen has been found to be a source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and testosterone. It’s not a new discovery – Chinese traditional medicine has used pine pollen for 3000 years.

However, New Zealand’s pine pollen products are new. Testosterone from pine pollen doesn’t just help people lift more weight at the gym, it can also be used by post-menopausal women if they have low levels of testosterone. Mood, sleep, energy levels, skin, and the immune system can all benefit from the products manufactured using the pollen.

FROM PAGE 1 Bio Gold has developed two prototype products so far. One is a concentrated liquid ‘supercharge’ extract to support energy levels, sports and exercise performance, libido and vitality. The other is a raw powder that can be added to smoothies and drinks for overall well-being. “Early products have sold, and feedback has been positive,” Carl says. “I use the powder, which is fantastic for immunity, energy and keeping things in balance. I’m still learning how special pine pollen is.” When they tested the pollen in the lab, they found pine pollen testosterone was the same as that in animals tested in the lab. However, they are not permitted to sell the product as testosterone, instead marketing it as pine pollen. A recent grant funded through MPI of $288,500 has allowed them to further their research and development. Carl admits having worked at MPI may have helped him ‘speak the lingo’ when he submitted his grant application. Carl says going forward it’s all about relationships with forest owners, and he would like to hear from owners in different parts of the country.

Bush medicine empowering for Averil JENNY NICHOLSON Averil Drake’s interest in using plants as medicine and food has grown since she and her family shifted off the grid six years ago. Living on their West Coast 90 acres which is surrounded by a National Par, they aim to be self-sufficient and part of that is knowing what native plants they have around them that may be of benefit in certain situations. One of the first plants she used as medicine was rimu. When one of her family got a wasp sting, they chewed some rimu and spat it out before putting it on the site of the sting. “Saliva activates the plant which is a stringent and prevents swelling,” Averil says. Their land is covered with forest, wetland, waterfalls, gullies, and landslides. When they talk about hiking, it is trips on their own land, so they are in remote terrain. Averil says using the plants that are growing nearby to help her family

is empowering. “It takes the fear out of things,” Averil says. “I always try to be as prepared as possible with a first aid kit and locator beacon, but it’s nice to have another option.” One of Averil’s children has type 1 diabetes. They were ten minutes from the house and started to look low in sugar. Averil knew which plants had carbohydrates in, and after eating the plant he was fine. Averil is now sharing what she has learned in Bush Medicine courses throughout New Zealand. As a trained teacher, with training in naturopathy and herbalism, she loves sharing what she has learned and hopes it may help trampers and campers who get caught in the bush. Nature Education’s Anna Ormandy has organised a course for the last weekend of the holidays to be held in Lower Moutere.

Food prices rise again

While tomatoes are selling for over $10kg in many shops, a Statistics New Zealand report shows their price has fallen 30 per cent in June 2022 compared with June 2021. In contrast, cucumbers and green beans have both reached their highest recent June prices. Overall, for the year, fruit and vegetable prices rose 5.5 per cent. Grocery food prices increased by 7.6 per cent with milk and yoghurt, and potato crisps the largest contributors to that rise.

Worm population grows

Prolonged wet and warm weather has resulted in higher populations of worms around the country. Sheep and cattle inhale the larvae of worms when grazing pasture, the worms then mate and lay eggs in the digestive tract of the animals. Worms can limit an animal’s appetite and growth rate and in extreme cases can lead to disease and death. Wormwise provides education resources to help farmers better manage worms, and general manager Ginny Dodunski said the recent weather has been ideal for worms and higher populations have been reported across the country even in areas that were traditionally dry. Dodunski said there was a growing issue of drench resistance so it was important farmers knew what worked best on their farm. “It’s always about looking ahead and thinking how can you better protect your system. That could be about having cleaner feed and possibly having fewer younger animals in the system as they are more prone to worms.”

SPOTLIGHT ON Providing specialist expertise to marine and engineering industries Inspired by his father, and with a clear vision from a young age for what he wanted to do in life, Diverse Engineering owner John Ashmore has spent a lifetime immersed in the marine and engineering industry. His vast years of experience and expertise saw him travel the world, acquiring his Chiefs ticket at the age of 21 and spending over two decades at sea as chief engineer. John worked in Denmark and South Africa before returning to New Zealand in 2008 and started an engineering company in Auckland in 2013. “Specialising in marine repairs, that company has become a leader in Shi repair, being one of the largest steel repairs suppliers to Babcock (NZ Navy) and vessels through the ports of Auckland.” John says some of the biggest changes in aquaculture that he

AQUACULTURE

has seen over the last decade is a shift in marine sustainability and environmental awareness. “When I started in the industry there was little thought of sustainability, there were plenty of fish stocks around, big catches and plenty of money. Now the fishing industry looks to the future of fish stocks and, with the implementation of the quota system and reduction of total allowable catches, the money doesn’t flow as it used to, meaning costs are high and income is now limited. Companies must maintain vessels to what is probably a higher standard than ever before and new technology in fishing equipment, fishing methods and propulsion systems are becoming more efficient, while also being environmentally-friendly.” An important cog in the aquaculture industry, Diverse Engineering are one of the leading companies in ship repair and have a deep understanding of the importance of their role.

“We see it as our responsibility to ensure we are also up with the latest methods in repair and ensure our staff are correctly trained to carry out their tasks precisely and efficiently. We have one of the largest machining capabilities in the top of the south.” Boasting the franchise for ENZED Hose Doctor with a fully-qualified hydraulics technician, a propellor foundry in their Nelson facility, generator hire and the ability to offer shipwright and joinery services, Diverse Engineering can supply direct to vessel owners, end users, and other suppliers to the marine industry.” “As we are the only company in Nelson able to offer some of these services, we are essential to the industry not only in the region, but supply to places all over New Zealand and the Pacific.” The multi-faceted company services not just the marine industry, but also major fuel and forestry companies and believes a strong commitment to people is a fundamental drive for success.

$2m on offer for Greenhouse Gas research STAFF REPORTER More than $2 million is on offer for research on greenhouse gas improvements across agriculture, forestry and general land-use. The annual funding round for the Ministry for Primary Industries’ (MPI’s) Greenhouse Gas Inventory Research fund opened on Thursday with $2.1 million on offer. “We’re seeking research proposals to maintain and improve our agriculture, forestry and landuse inventory,” says Steve Penno, MPI’s director of investment programmes. “The inventory calculates and records greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in New Zealand, as well as carbon sequestration from forests. “It will be used to account for mitigation technologies as they are developed and implemented on farms in New Zealand. He says it’s also an important tool in enabling New Zealand’s reporting to the New Zealand Greenhouse Gas Inventory and the United Nations under the Paris Climate Agreement. Steve says, this year MPI is seeking proposals on nine priority areas, ranging from methane to the

ernment committed $339 million through the Climate Emergency Response Fund to accelerate development and uptake of high-impact agricultural mitigation technologies. Of this, $1.5 million was added to the Greenhouse Gas Inventory Research fund for 2022/23, taking available funding to $2.1 million for new projects over the next 12 months.

Steve says the fund also contributes to world-wide efforts to drive down agricultural emissions. “As one of the only developed countries with a largely pasture-based agricultural economy, we’re also able to share our research outcomes with less developed countries with similar agricultural sectors to boost their knowledge,” he says.

“The research generated through this fund provides us with invaluable baseline data to continue efforts to mitigate New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The Greenhouse Gas Inventory Research funding round is open from 14 July to 12 August. Successful proposals are expected to be announced in October.

Cawthron Institute’s longest serving staff member BARBARA STUART At seventeen years old the young Joy Oakly began work at the Cawthron Institute as a trainee technician in chemistry. In those days the Cawthron Institute did a lot of work for horticulture, Takaka soils, and she remembers they studied what kakapo were eating in Fiordland. Fifty-two years later she’s still enjoys the work and is the longest serving staff member on the job which has taken her to a number of Pacific Island destinations auditing and setting up laboratory systems to meet international accreditation standards. Joy Oakly came from an average Nelson family. The family owned a shoe shop at Victory square which her father began after the war. He had served under Basil Wakelin, headmaster at Nelson College. It was Basil Wakelin who understood the academic talent of Joy and her brother, the late Peter Lamb, encouraging her parents to ensure they both got a good education. Peter eventually becoming a meteorologist with a particular interest in climate relating to Africa at University of Oklahoma, with international acclaim for his work. As part of Joy’s NZ Certificate of Science training she would travel across to Wellington for

three months each year between 1971-73 for further study. About that time the Cawthron Institute established commercial laboratories for industry and she moved to micro-biology. They tested milk for the presence of antibiotics and even for water content as the odd farmer was adding it to bulk out their milk cheque, she laughs. These days the Cawthron Institute is studying marine algae, with exciting potential. In the early 2000’s they developed instrument-based methods to measure the toxin levels in shellfish instead of injecting mice with the extracts. This was cutting edge technology and now is used around the world. Recently they have been working with overseas partners to grow large volumes of algae in bioreactors, harvest the algae and then extract the toxins for further study. (partnered with a German Group who provided bio-reactor machines for harvesting and extracting toxins). Joy currently fills the role as the Quality Unit for this manufacturing process. The study has found a very small amount of these toxins shows promise as a one-off pain treatment for children instead of using opiates, with the treatment lasting up to three days. Clinical trials were

to begin with Boston University, but unfortunately this is on hold at the moment. This is just a number of the remarkable studies at the Cawthron Institute utilising the vast oceans surrounding New Zealand which she has been privileged to follow in her long time on the staff. They have identified seaweeds which when fed to cattle significantly reduce the amount of methane produced and there’s ongoing potential to find other species to benefit humans in the 1000 species of algae found to date off our coastline, plus the 130 different species of fish in NZ waters. Joy was the quality manager for Cawthron’s Commercial Laboratories for many years and was responsible for maintaining the accreditation status of the labs. Joy enjoys regular contact with Pacific Islands training science teams there and hopes to get to the Solomon’s again to audit their systems and to help them with further training. Joy has written a manual to assist them. It is a wonderful time for science and a rewarding career for young people who are interested, she says. These days she enjoys the flexibility available to work part time. In her leisure time she enjoys a round of golf, cycling and socialising with friends.

Make your business skyrocket:

Upskill with NMIT

You need skilled staff right now, but first, they need the training to be a real asset. We see the problem, and we have a solution Aquaculture, horticulture and viticulture businesses in the primary industry sector are finding it tough with staff shortages that goes beyond the inability to find skilled people to do the work. NMIT offers partnerships to help employees develop effective, critical skills on-site with their employers, so our regional workforce thrives. Understanding the best approach for training staff and managers can be challenging. There may be limited resources available in the workplace to support effective learning and accommodating a variety of unique learning styles may also be difficult to achieve. NMIT’s primary industry managers and team leaders are supported too with programmes designed to build their business

and management skills. New programmes include: • New Zealand Diploma in Primary Industry Business Management • Leadership for Primary Industries • Project Management for Primary Industries NMIT Primary Industries Curriculum Manager Pam Wood says having national industry training partners onboard brings substantial benefits to the students. “When students are working, as well as studying online through NMIT, pastoral care is very important,” says Pam. “With our partners involved, there is someone there to walk the students through their study onsite, helping when needed, and ensuring they are successful.” This kind of pastoral support

can remove the thought of study being daunting and ensure that learners don’t feel like they must go through it alone. The relationship between NMIT and employers also benefits students’ confidence as their employers are involved, and partner with their training. Relieving the pressure, confusion, and stress that training staff requires, allows business owners and managers to focus on their strategic and productivity goals. Education shouldn’t be boring and upskilling staff and management should be a positive experience. With NMIT, students can learn and work and will graduate confident in their abilities to make a difference for our region. See nmit.ac.nz/industry-hub for more information. Business Update. Advt.

Kiwi farmers filling food banks New Zealand farmers want no one to go hungry so they’re banding together to change the way we respond to food poverty. A new nationwide partnership has been launched between Feed Out and Fonterra, which aims to have 1 million litres of milk donated to food banks by dairy farmers within its first year and it’s coming to the regions. The partnership builds on an existing milk donation programme between Feed Out and milk processor Miraka, which provides food banks with milk in Waikato and the Central Plateau. It will give dairy farms in the Tasman region the ability to donate milk to local foodbanks through Fonterra. “If every farm contributes just a little bit of what they produce, we can make a massive difference to New Zealanders doing it tough,” says Tasman dairy farmer and co-founder of Meat the Need and Feed Out, Wayne Langford. Feed Out’s milk donation programme extends the work of its sister programme, Meat the Need. As a farmer-founded charity, Meat the Need turns livestock donations into mince for food banks, with the support of Silver Fern Farms.

Local dairy farmers can now donate milk to help fill local food banks. Photo: Supplied. So far, 793,000+ mince meals have been donated nationwide. “Feed Out is the same concept, except this time it’s about giving all New Zealanders access to milk; something that’s never been done before due to the challenges of processing,” Wayne says. He says it will allow farmers to play their part in helping to ad-

dress the high levels of food insecurity in New Zealand. In the next year, Feed Out aims to deliver over 200,000 kilos of Anchor blue milk powder to food banks nationwide, with the help of the NZ Food Network. Combined with meat already donated by farmers, they are starting to change the landscape of food

parcels, ensuring all Kiwis have access to high quality protein. With support from farmers around the country, Feed Out believes they can feed all of New Zealand. “Farmers supporting Feed Out will make a massive difference to these families doing it tough, by simply doing what we do - grow-

ing food,” Wayne says. Meat the Need and Feed Out is supported by processors Silver Fern Farms, Fonterra and Miraka. It was established with the help of MPI (Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures), Dairy NZ, Beef and Lamb and Federated Farmers. To learn more, visit feedout.org.nz

If you supply anyone with drinking Developing or water, then you could get caught by restructuring the new regulations under the Act. your property Financing The Act is part of the Three Waters Reforms and established the new regulatory body Taumata Arowai, which is responsible for the national enforcement and regulation of the supply of drinking water. Who is captured: The Act places onerous obligations on deemed suppliers of drinking water. The definition of water supplier captures almost every person who has effective control over a water supply, with only single household self-suppliers exempt from compliance with the regulations. No single factor determines if someone has effective control, however factors include, control over funding, infrastructure and maintenance of the supply, as well as decision-making and whether the supplier is a landowner and has long term control of the land on which the infrastructure is based. Suppliers that are captured include Councils, private community water schemes, persons who extract water from a bore and supply water to multiple dwellings located on a single property, small businesses that rely on rainwater supplies or a bore supplying a community hall. What are the obligations under the Act: A supplier is responsible for registering the supply with Taumata Arowai. All suppliers must be registered by 15 November 2025.

The supplier must also submit a drinking water safety plan, a source risk management plan and a multi-barrier drinking water plan, or comply with a Drinking Water Acceptable Solution (a draft of this has been issued by Taumata Arowai and is to be finalised in August 2022). The draft Drinking Water Acceptable Solution includes requirements for bores, treatment system requirements, operation and maintenance provisions including regular monitoring and testing which includes submitting samples to accredited laboratories, and incident and emergency management systems. What happens if a supplier does not comply: Taumata Arowai hold the power to review and audit suppliers to ensure compliance.

Local running community remembers one of its greats JACK MALCOLM Barry Hunt will be remembered by friends, family and peers as a man who would give the shirt off his back for the sport he loved. The running legend passed away aged 91 earlier this month, having lived a life full of helping others. Having started his running career at 17 with Greymouth Athletic Club, Barry found almost instant success and a life-long love of the sport. He finished third in the Greymouth Club Championship’s U19 100m and 200m, earning selection for the Mahar Cup, and would go on to form the Reefton sub-club with Cliff Belcher a year later. What followed was almost 60 years of dedication to the sport, seeing him coach world champions, witness sporting history and help create dynasties. “I have been an athlete, coach, selector, manager, time-keeper, been to world championships, Commonwealth Games and formed two clubs,” he said in a Waimea Weekly interview in 2018. Barry attended six Commonwealth Games, five world championships, four world cups, two world juniors and an Olympic Games. His work would be recognised with a Long Service Award from Athletics New Zealand in 2018 and the Halberg Lifetime

After looking to retire in the 2007/8 season, Barry was convinced to come back to the sport to help coach the emerging Alex Jordan. In just three years of working with Barry, Alex would shave almost seven seconds from his 400m time before winning his first of three national titles in the space of four years. Barry had watched him go from a “rugged and strong boy” with “poor arm movements and no stride length” to winning the New Zealand Open 400m and being ranked in the top ten for his age in the world. Barry also dedicated his time off track to improving the quality of life for runners in the region. Between 1998 and 2006, he was instrumental in petitioning for an all-weather track at Saxton Sports

Grounds, attending 16 council meetings across both Nelson and Tasman. In a tribute, local National Academy of Distance Running coach, Greg Lautenslager, said Barry, with his ever trusty stopwatch in hand, was the first person he met at his first local event. “During the next 20 years, Barry Hunt taught me - like the hundreds of athletes he mentored about the sport, about coaching, about New Zealand, and about life. “He never took a cent for his services and held true to his convictions, not afraid to back down to criticism he offered merely for the sport’s benefit. “How could you not admire someone who gave his heart and soul to the sport.”

Achievement Award, awarded to just one person each year, in 2019. By Barry’s side through it all was his trusted companion and wife, Mavis, who was also instrumental in helping guide young runners to reach their potential. Self-described as the ‘mother of the team’, Mavis dedicated her days to the track as a time-keeper, an official or helping her husband with his training. The couple moved to Nelson in 1995 after retiring. Within a year, Barry was already

coaching and developing athletics in the region and was instrumental in forming the Tasman Tigers for league competitions and nationals. He instantly got to work and found seven other coaches while simultaneously being the president of Athletics New Zealand between 1998-99, before being awarded life membership in 2000. The Tasman Tigers would go on to win the second division South Island League in 1998 and record three top-five finishes in the National League Finals.

MARLBOROUGH CLUB WINS TASMAN TROPHY: Celebrations were in full swing for Central fullback Riaihe Rangihaeta after his team won premier rugby’s Tasman Trophy with a resounding 33-7 win over Kahurangi. Having been the in-form team all season, Central proved they are the best in the Top of the South as they ran in five tries to one to lift the trophy in front of their home crowd in Blenheim. Kahurangi captain Manu Parkin was full of praise for their rivals following the game, saying it’s not a nice feeling having fallen just short in the final for the second year running. A try late in the piece highlighting his team’s heart to fight to the end, salvaging some pride out of the tough loss. Photo: Gavin Hadfield/Shuttersport.

Waimea and Wanderers fall short at semis JACK MALCOLM Both Waimea Old and Wanderers are out of the running for division 2 glory after losing their respective semi-finals over the weekend. Waimea Old Boys Colts were unable to topple regular-season leaders Stoke in an 37-24 affair, while Riwaka beat an at-home Wanderers 27-22. The results have set the stage for an exciting final, with the two teams drawing 17-all earlier in the season. After finishing top of the regular season leaderboard, Stoke were always going to be a challenge for WOB and came out the gate to prove that. They raced out to an unanswered 12-point lead by halftime on the back of several well-worked tries, with good hands to capitalise on numbers out wide. WOB finished the half battering against the Stoke line, but were unable to walk away with points against a resilient defence. The Stoke scrum was dominant throughout, with several tightheads at key moments changing the momentum. WOB did often take the choice of scrum from the penalty spot, but their attack suffered from untidy ball under the pressure.

Waimea Old Boys and Wanderers both fell at the penultimate hurdle over the weekend with Waimea losing to Stoke and Wanderers to Riwaka. Photos: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport. The second half started and looked like Stoke had taken control of the game as they scored quickly into the piece with a runaway try to prop Liam Ingerson, but WOB fought back. They scored first with a series of hard runs to get to the line through number 8 and captain Jeen Salton before prop Dylan

Crawford rumbled another one over to be within five points. WOB were kept in the game thanks in large part to the boot of fullback Jaxon Taikato, who used his massive kick to kept Stoke pinned in their own half. After fighting back into the game, Stoke put their foot down with a great setpiece try to winger Kee-

gan Thomas from an attacking 22m scrum. They then drove the game beyond doubt with a series of short passes to capitalise on an overlap with flanker Ryan Green dotting the ball down for his team’s fifth try. WOB would fight back with two tries of their own, but Stoke kept their scoreboard ticking over

with a series of penalties to never be in doubt. Stoke coach Johnny Little says that it was a tough game, but WOB struggled after a midweek game earlier in the week. “They brought it to us. But I think three games in a week is what showed and they’re closer than that to us.” He says his team has prided themselves on their defence this season, but WOB also brought their A-game. “Age (was the difference). They’re a younger side than us and we’ve got that good solid scrum. “It was a good tough team effort.” WOB coach Rik Taikato says the boys were sore after their game earlier in the week, but didn’t want to make excuses. “I thought we sat back on our haunches a bit in the first 10-15 minutes. “The message at halftime was to be more physical at rucks.” He said the message worked, and they were able to start finding success. “We climbed right back into the game. We were with it till they scored those two tries and then we were chasing.” Rik says Josh Flowers at second five-eighth had an outstanding game, but it was a team effort. “The whole team did well to get where we got.”

Sam is the people’s Giant JACK MALCOLM Coming into this season, Mike Pero Nelson Giants captain Sam Dempster was described as the backbone of the team. At 32-years-old, Sam has become a local favourite with his hard work ethic in games and his everyman demeanour off the court. Now he has been awarded the Giants’ People’s Choice Player of the Year. But no one would have expected this season to be one of his best. “To have your best season when it’s your 15th season is kind of ridiculous,” says Giants head coach Mike Fitchett. “I don’t know how he’s done it, but he’s having a whale of a season.” A game and season-high 29 points against the second-placed Auckland Tuatara earlier in the season highlighted Sam’s abilities from beyond the arc, with nine three-pointers. Sam credits his run of form on the work he and the team behind the scenes did in the off-season. “I think the big thing for me this

year was we got Fletcher Matthews on board as a trainer and he’s the best trainer I’ve ever worked with,” he says. “We fixed up all my niggles and injuries, and I got a lot stronger.” Alongside strength and conditioning coach Claire Dallison and physio Ashlee Lusty, Sam says the people behind the scenes deserve just as much credit. “It’s easy to credit the ones on the court, but all these people are working so hard. “I think every away game we’ve had, we’ve been down at halftime, but we’re fit enough to wear teams down with that full 40-minute performance.” He says that the impact of imports Jarrod West, Trey Mourning and Sam Thompson have also made a big difference. “The culture that we’ve got this year has really helped me with my confidence to shoot the ball. “Jarrod West does a great job at creating shots and space, I just have to catch and shoot.”

Sam Dempster credits hard work on his fitness and the team around him that have seen him win the Giants’ People’s Choice Player of the Year. Photo: Trina Brereton/Shuttersport.

Nelson swimmers selected for Virtus Oceania Asia Games Nelson South Swim Club’s Finn Russ is part of a Kiwi team blazing a trail for other Para swimmers, both in the region and nationally – carrying the youth portion of his local club. In November, the 15-year-old will compete in the Virtus Oceania Asia Games in Brisbane alongside clubmate Helen Mackay and local Para swimmer Jack Bugler – supported by Finn and Helen’s club coach Glen Findlay. Being the youngest competitor from the region, Russ has youth on his side as he makes his debut for New Zealand. The group has been selected from throughout the country to compete at the international swimming event which is known globally as one of the largest events for athletes living with an intellectual impairment. Finn - who is sponsored by Trailways Hotel, Savage & Savage Chartered Accountants, and NZ Lifebrokers, with support from Pics Peanut Butter and F45 Nelson - has been preparing locally with Glen, along with attending a

Photo: Jack Malcolm. series of national team camps. Glen says Finn has had a quick rise to success in the sport. “Finn’s progress over the last

three years has been phenomenal. “Starting in a learn-to-swim environment as a 12-year-old, Finn

had an immediate connection with the water. “He now swims in our top performance squad, preparing for

national and international events, training up to eight sessions per week.” New Zealand’s team manager, multi-Paralympic medalist Cameron Leslie, says the event provides an opportunity for swimmers with an intellectual impairment to have a pathway to compete at an international level. “Finn and the other Nelson-Marlborough Para swimmers are part of something special. This is the first time there has been a pathway for them to an international team specific for S14 (the classification given to swimmers with an intellectual impairment who meet the criteria) Para swimmers. “The Oceania Asia Games is a multi-sport event for people who have a classification in this category and is the first step for our swimmers to experience competing at a global event. I have no doubt, Finn, Helen, Jack, and Glen will represent their region and country with pride, putting their best foot forward in an environment tailored to their needs.”

Nelson hosts national hockey Nelson hosted the Vantage U18 women’s tournament last week with a young Tasman side finishing 16th in the 21 team competition. Wellington 1 won the final 3-1 over Hawke’s Bay, with two goals in the final quarter breaking a 1-1 deadlock.
