Berryfields resident Sheena Blackmore was left devastated af ter she lost almost her entire tank full of tropical fish following a routine water change last month, and she says she was not the only one who had fish affected.

She then went home to get a sam ple of water from the taps to test, the reading for this came in around 80 mg/L on the testing chart, a far reach from the usual 10-20 mg/L reading they normally see, some thing Tasman District Council says is “difficult to see how this level was recorded”. Petmart staff say they saw an increase in people having issues with their fish tank water within the Berryfields area following the floods.
Discussions are now underway to figure out how the water could’ve spike at Sheena’s, and potentially other properties in the area.

It was the first time a kapa haka festival has sold out in the region which organ iser Janis de Thierry says is strong messaging that Te Tauihu communities want this. “It was great to see growth in the num ber of competitive teams, from seven in 2020, to 12 this year,” adds kapa haka events coordinator Melis sa Barnett. “These compe titions couldn’t go ahead without all the help of our volunteers, support from Iwi, funders and sponsors.”
Friends who were petsitting sent her a photo the following day, two more parrotfish and her Jack Dempsey were also dead. “To lose them all in one go, I have no words, I had no idea what was wrong, I am so care ful with them.” Returning home on Sunday 28 August, a week after the water change, she took a sample of tank water to her local petstore to find out what went wrong. Sheena says the nitrate levels were found to be double what they normally are.

How about hiring people who are keen to work but don’t have the experience in that certain industry, there’s plenty of people wanting to work but if you don’t have the experience you get declined.. Train up new willing staff.

We live in a vast changing world. There is a lot of surprising news around us. But the most ex citing news is when we finally make it through what it seems like the never ending Covid chal lenges. What an effort we as the nation have made for over two years. It’s now a significant part of our national and international history. Our generations will remember what times were like when Covid was so prevalent - the multiple lockdowns and isolations. We were challenged from all different per spectives, disagree ments and disap pointments during the pandemic. Everyone had different ideas and opinions. We can easi ly jump to conclusions and make judgements of others around us.
Some shortages for businesses is a clear indication something’s not good when they’re always advertising.

Been fun watching from home in Monaco. Guess that also explains why the Hercules land ed earlier this afternoon to take the rest of the crew back? Did it take two attempts to land or just putting on a show when coming in to land? Flew right over top of me quite low while at the Honest Lawyer before circling around.
$23.65 is hardly a liveable wage, espe cially when Nelson is one of the most expensive towns to live in in the country. Would these business owners be happy earning 23.65 an hour? I doubt it, why expect your staff to be happy earning that? I can go and earn $32 an hour as an entry level cellar hand tomorrow.
Covid definitely challenged us as everyone had different influences behind their views. But one of the important things we learnt through all this, is the power of kindness and how we can continue to work together. As a modern philosopher, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer says “ if you have the choice between being right and being kind, choose being kind”. The Bible has many examples and stories of kindness - how we can work together despite our differences. Our God is loving and gracious. He desires us to live with good hearts and be loving towards our neighbours. It has been a joy to see the glimps es of kindness our community has provided to each other during these challenging times.

Air Force take to skies
Every other industry that pollutes or wants to pollute has to go through a rig orous resource consent process or pay fines and compensate affected parties. The pine industry pollutes the air every year and walks free of charge like nothing happens. Growing millions of pine trees is not natural and pine pollen should be seen as industrial air pollution. Do they contribute anything to the health sys tem? Can you get subsidised anti-allergy medicine?
So hopefully our unemployment figures reflect that and are near zero.
ers you pay more. There is more than just the hourly wage that you are paid in fair employment such as paid public holidays (or with holidays act ammend ment if worked) off, 4 weeks paid leave, 10 days sick leave, bereavement paid leave etc. Business owners, especially small business owners, are absorbing more and more costs, and you will likely find in many, they are earning less than employees with employment benefits. Also, those commenting if places offered “school hours” how does this actually work? Sure, there could be some shifts in those hours...but who is manning every where before and after? Who will be at the supermarket, gas station, cafe when we all finish our school hours to go to these places?

Local History
John Beit of Hamburg, the New Zealand Company’s agent in Germany, was onboard the ship along with two clergymen sent out by the North German Mission. Labouring emigrants were carefully selected with several vinedressers among the Afternumber.a passage lasting six months, ‘St Pauli’ arrived in Nelson in June 1843. It had not been a happy voyage with dis satisfaction in the way Beit had handled its management, the immigrants, and his interac tion with the captain. Beit had purchased six allotments, but once in Nelson he would not employ the German labourers, and this left them having to fend for themselves.
• PAK n’ SAVE Richmond Santa Parade: The parade will be back on Queen Street on December 11 from 12 – 2 pm.
For the month of September mention this advert and you can will receive 10% off all accessories in-store.
Soonsituation.after, the two missionar ies departed and the Moutere settlement broke up. This was due in part to the land being unsuitable, prone to floods and having soil of poor quali ty. Some families moved to the Waimea Plains and others were enticed to leave New Zealand and try again in South Austra lia. Later, a number did even tually return to the Moutere to form the Sarau settlement.

This group had been sponsored by the wealthy nobleman Count Ran zau and were supported by the Kelling brothers, Carl and Fe dor, who were NZ Company agents. The Skiold immigrants settled on land in Waimea East. Fedor Kelling named his homestead Ranzau in honour of the Count and the whole area became known under this name. In later years the area

In 1842 a party of about 116 German colonists were prepar ing to depart from their home country to take up land in Nel son. The ship “St Pauli” was chartered to sail from Ham burg on the 20th of December. This was the result of the New Zealand Company taking mea sures to spread information in Germany about New Zealand.

was renamed Hope after Jane Hope, another settler. The Kelling brothers employed some of the Skoild immigrants and set about developing their land. Within seven months they had built large farm build ings, completed some fencing, cut and carried 6 acres of bar ley, 3 acres of oats and a small quantity of linum. Linum was to be manufactured into linen.
Forty acres of land was also broken up and ready for wheat and rye.
The early Germans were well respected for their honesty, diligence, hard work and abil ity to fend for themselves. The German surnames became commonplace in Nelson and all contributed to the new set tlement. Place names of Sarau, Ranzau Road and Ranzau School remind us of those ear ly settlers who came to New Zealand with dreams to find a place that was not set up for them and yet overcame all bar riers.

The immigrants were hard working and, by the 1860s, schools had been established in both Upper and Lower Moutere. Churches followed, with St Paul’s at Sarau conse crated in 1865. More German immigrants arrived and settled near relatives in the Moutere valleys, with a smaller number at Waimea East.
Some were sent out to settle on a section at Upper Moutere, which became known as St Paulidorf. This was on instruc tion by the company’s princi pal agent, Colonel Wakefield,

Toby, who has worked in the rural property sector for
eight years, says while dairy farms are slim pickings at the moment, there are a few about to come onto the market once calving season is out of the way.
She also agrees that the hor ticulture market is strong.

“Last year we had some re cord sales in Golden Bay for farmland. Long-term inter est rates have eased a little which has given us some confidence in the sector.”
“If any nurseries come to market, they sell quickly.”
Lydia, who has been in real estate for 30 years, says while the residential market has been turbulent, she pre dicts the coming year will remain consistent in the ru ral sector.
The average median price per hectare in Nelson Tas man for the three months to July 2022 was $27,170.

I’m goal-oriented with a natural business acumen. Every venture I have been involved in has been successful. The Tasman District Council is a whole new level of challenge, and that is what excites me the most.
I’m inherently positive which has allowed me to navigate extremely challenging business environments over the past two decades. Those skills qualify me well for the turbulent financial waters ahead for the Tasman District.
As Richmond has had exponential growth it is important to match infrastructure with growth. It is important to maintain and develop infrastructure in a way that is sustainable and takes into consideration our value for the environment and climate change projections. 3 Waters means we will lose autonomy over local assets and our voice. I advocate for regional management of these assets over centralisation.

I am good at listening and accepting other peoples’ perspective and working together to create the best possible outcome, not coming from a fixed position. It is important that the voices of Richmond community are bought to the council. I am standing as an independent and motivated to work with others to provide the optimal benefit for the Richmond Community.
I am standing because I want to see improvements in Richmond and big picture thinking. As Tasman District Council has one of the highest debt ratios in the country, it is important for my children’s generation that debt reduction is prioritised so we have more options.
I will bring enhanced leadership to the governance of council. I’m passionate about Tasman, its people, economy and environment. I understand the importance of reducing rates increases and managing the currently-growing debt within sustainable levels. The growing cost of living is increasing pressure on our community, the council needs to take this into account.
Let’s make things better.
We live in a beautiful region with enviable access to the natural environment. The recent extreme rainfall event has highlighted the importance of good planning, building community resilience, and ensuring we are accounting for growth and climate change in our infrastructure delivery. Supporting economic vitality, environmental sustainability and our diverse communities, while managing the challenges around growth, housing, infrastructure, water quality, biodiversity and climate, are key priorities. Council’s core role remains investing in new and improved infrastructure, managing our natural resources, delivering efficient customer-focused services, and providing recreational facilities. I’m committed to ensuring that the community has input and influence on the many central government reforms. It has been my privilege to have served the community as Mayor for the past three very challenging years. With my governance experience in business, community organisations and on Council, I’m committed to working collaboratively to tackle the challenges and capitalise on the opportunities for our region. I am positive about the future and seek your support to continue providing practical, hardworking and accessible representation.
The current ten year plan and vision is for additional debt and spending is not sustainable and we need to live within our means. A change in leadership and direction is needed to implement better outcomes for both council and the ratepayers.
I respect the community consultation process and the rights of the public to express their views before a judgement is made. I am committed to retaining and attracting talented individuals into an inclusive council. I think clearly and have a reputation of making good decisions.
The residents will certainly know they’ve got the mayor on their side because of my confidence, strength of character and the presence of mind I have which allows me to speak up in any situation. I’m fortunate to have the support of my wife and children.
When I’m not working or exploring the region with family, you’ll find me racing Vet Motocross or cross-country.

My principle place of residence is the Moutere/Waimea Ward area. I am a local business owner, operating from our home in Wakefield. I also partner in an events company for off-road motorcycle racing /coaching. I am married with 2 teenage children. I am excited to finally commit to my beliefs, joining the political race for local government. Current emotions in our community seem to have an ‘US vs THEM’ theme towards our council. Effective communication and trust is at an all-time low. My policy will begin with building connections for my community, so we all have a voice in local council issues. I genuinely want to help people. In the 10 years we have lived in Wakefield, I have been active in community projects/events to benefit youth and families. Successful establishment of the recreation facility McGazzaland is one achievement. I have a proven ability to coordinate resources, getting things done. Let me help you, my neighbours, to create places of belonging, and grow our involvement, plus our children’s involvement, in the future of how we live. YES! We need to address the bigger issues, spending, housing, infrastructure, and climate. But first we must build the foundations. Let’s talk.
Fresh to local politics, I grew up in rural Northland and met my Nelsonian wife while studying in Dunedin. We travelled and worked widely, including overseas, before moving to Richmond with our young daughter a
Responding to our challenges with the resources at hand is the balancing act we must do, whatever our age, politics, religion, ethnicity or location; kaitiakitanga (guardianship) sums it up.

“I am a local young professional who is inspired by people, thriving communities, and the natural world. I am putting my name forward to be your Richmond Ward Councillor because I have the community connections, contextual understanding, experience, and skills to be a strong leader for the expanding community. I am a considered decision-maker, financially prudent, and I view each decision with an intergenerational lens. My priorities for this term are well-designed urban areas, resilience to climate change, enabling the local economy, providing high-quality service delivery, and ensuring the voice of the whole community is heard and acted upon. I am currently an elected member of the Motueka Community Board, a resource and environmental planning student, and a volunteer for local and national organisations. I am passionate about the representation of different sections of our community and a strong democracy. One of my skills is being able to find the middle ground, and the ability to keep a level head. I will lead with tenacity, sincerity and openness.” To find out more, please contact me at jonifortdc@gmail.com or visit www.jonitomsett.com
I am an advocate for local business and the rural community. I think positive council engagement with business can be mutually beneficial. I am a strong advocate for private property rights. Pressure groups and minority interests often dominate discussion, I like to think I can champion the concerns of the silent majority. I believe local government is a public service, goals and finances should focus on core functions only. Local government is at crossroads, central government seems determined to take control of the regions, I am strongly opposed to loss of local self-determination. I am opposed to Three Waters; I am deeply concerned about the Future of Local Government Review and changes to the Resource Management Act.
I am opposed to Māori co-governance and local Māori wards; I believe this is the wrong path for a unified democracy. I believe Māori should have a strong voice both regionally and within council, but not at the expense of democracy. Climate change and environment collapse are the existential threats of our time, council needs to lead change with practical initiatives and sound future planning.

I am asking for your vote so that I can continue in the role as a MoutereWaimea Ward Councillor for TDC. I have worked hard to make a significant contribution around the Council table for the benefit of the district. My experience as a Chartered Accountant, with a proven track record as an executive in central government, has allowed me to apply my expertise both for Full Council and also as Chair of the Commercial Committee. My 100% meeting attendance rate demonstrates my commitment to being your representative. While chairing the hearing panel for the Moutere-Waimea Reserves plan, I developed an appreciation of the passion and commitment our residents have for our reserves and green spaces. As a qualified hearing commissioner under the Resource Management Act, I have built my understanding of that piece of legislation and its impact on consents and plans for our district. I’m a Foxhill resident living on 15 hectares where we produce food, plant trees, and commercially grow flowers. I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring our beautiful region and I am involved in many community activities. Make your vote count and re-elect me as I have the skills and experience to continue to do what is right for our district.

“When selling a property, you want prospective buyers to see a well maintained and immaculate look ing investment.

It could be as simple as a house wash or gutter clear, or the trimming of trees and shaping of shrubs to expose edges of the lawns and ti dying up overgrown gardens.

Having the work done takes away all of those objections on first impressions that we know are so “Springimportant.”and summer are the seasons when homeowners get a lot of work done by us.

Wood you look at that cabinet? Focus on Wakefield
Wakefield Community
NMIT student Johnny Mattsen has handcrafted a display cabinet out of wood dating back 45,000 years as a thank you gift to Higgins Heritage Park for the use of their sawmill.
“As Johnny is one of our top stu dents, I knew he could do it.”
FB page turns two
The wood lay submerged in the peat bogs of New Zealand’s far north for 45,000 years until it was prolifically farmed and exported decades ago at an upward sum of $200 million.

Joinery tutor Bruce Stilwell says Johnny used swamp kauri, which is one of the world’s most valuable timbers, to construct the cabinet.
over just two years, the same amount the Brightwater Com munity Facebook page has garnered over seven years.
October sees the two-year an niversary of the first-ever post on the Wakefield Community Facebook page, which was set up by mum-of-five Melissa “IWoodhouse.onlydidit because there was nowhere for people to share what was happening around them or to post lost and found information, but it’s just grown at an exponential rate.”
Bruce sourced the swamp kauri on Facebook, and it was left to Johnny to do the rest.
“I’ll put a plaque on the unit to say it was made by Johnny, and in years to come maybe he will bring his own kids here to look at what their then 18-year-old dad made.”
Creator Melissa Woodhouse says the page gets over 350 posts a month.

“The girls turned up and played hard, they certainly left it all out on the pitch. In the end we threw everything at them to try and grab an equaliser, took our goalie off and pushed everyone forward, but we just couldn’t luck one in.”
for third and fourth against the same Counties Manukau side they had narrowly beaten pre viously and this time the result was reversed, the northerners getting up to win 3-2.
Denise felt it was a much-im proved effort.
Backing up a solid home win over Taranaki last weekend with their gritty showing at Eden Park suggests that Tasman are building the kind of depth that will stand them in good stead for the near future.

After the initial disappointment of their 30-27 loss to Auckland wears off, the Tasman Mako players and management may look back on Saturday’s match as something of a watershed moment for the union.

Poor exits, sloppy restarts and a shaky scrum are other areas that are in line to be im proved, a lack of experienced game-call ers in key positions often contributing to those Fortunately,shortcomings.thoseproblem areas can be quickly remedied, especially when the players show as much heart and talent as they did on Saturday.
It makes this Saturday’s home game against Northland at Trafalgar Park a must-win before their last regular season game, away against Hawkes Bay the following weekend.
PETER JONES
Beating Auckland at the “Garden of Eden” is one of the toughest challenges in NPC rugby and while skipper Quentin MacDonald’s men fell agonisingly short, the real rewards of their brave effort may be seen further down the track. Young, untried players gain belief by proving they can foot it with the best in a hostile envi
Now, while those luminaries are off the provin cial scene, rising stars such as Macca Springer, Noah Hotham, Kershawl Skyes Martin, Fetuli Paea, Willie Havili, Max Hicks, Viliami Napa’a, Luca Inch, Braden Stewart, Timoci Tavatava nawai, Anton Segner and Fletcher Anderson are stepping up.
Arriving at Eden Park as firm underdogs, with a string of injured and unavailable players lon ger than the queue at Westminster Hall, it was time for this group to stand up. And that is ex actly what they did.
But with two wins from their last six games, they now precariously sit fourth on the evens conference leader boards with a one point ad vantage over Northland, who have also played one less game.
Silver lining to Eden Park showing
There is still some way to go, of course, with a lengthy list of “work-ons” to take care Amongof.
Notronment.somany seasons ago players such as Fin lay Christie, Will Jordan, Shannon Frizell, Tyrel Lomax, Quinten Strange, Andrew Maka lio, Leicester Fainga’anuku, Mitch Hunt, Pari Pari Parkinson and David Havili were finding their way on the provincial scene, building the skills and mindset that has taken them, and the Mako, to the top of the tree.
Some have described the 2022 Mako campaign as a “rebuilding year”, given the staggering turnover in personnel. If that is the case, the building blocks are slot ting nicely into place for a bright future.
