King stands for re-election ANDREW BOARD Tasman mayor Tim King will stand at this year’s local body election, he has confirmed to Waimea Weekly. It comes as the first challengers for his job emerge, including former real estate agent Mike Har-

vey and St Arnaud farmer Richard Osmaston. Tim says his first term as mayor has been “phenomenally tricky” with the Covid-19 pandemic, the government’s Three Waters proposal and cost overruns on the Waimea Community Dam. But he says the support he has had

from the community has convinced him to run again. “I don’t think I could have picked a more difficult term to be mayor but I’ve been bloody lucky with the support I’ve had from this group of councillors and the community, it’s been great. “There will be challenges this

[next] term, hopefully different challenges but jeez, you never know.” Tim had 12 years as deputy mayor before being elected to the mayoralty in 2019. He says he’s never been much of a campaigner and said there wouldn’t be much of one this year either.

“I enjoy governance, I don’t really enjoy politics or campaigning,” he says. “I’ve also done this a long time so I don’t think I’m change people’s minds in the next six weeks [before the election] on whether

Hip hop sisters qualify for worlds JENNY NICHOLSON Hip hop dancers Zariyah and Shylah Andrews have qualified for the world championships after winning the Junior Duo division at Hip Hop Unite in Wellington recently. If they get to perform at the world’s in Portugal later this year, it won’t be their first international competition. In 2019 they placed 4th out of 65 duos in their age group. Zariyah’s dance career started as a preschooler when her mother Nicole took her to ballet. “The other dancers were all so graceful, and I was the elephant that came in behind them,” she says. Nicole realised Zariyah might be more suited to another type of dance and moved her to hip hop. From the start, the girls were dedicated to practicing routines. Nicole videoed their classes and they would spend time going over the routines each week. When Zariyah was seven and Shylah six, they went to Auckland for a competition. It was supposed to be just a fun trip, but they won their division. Now both girls say they love

The hail and snow we had a few years ago. It was a very unusual event for Boxing Day.

I was at a Christmas picnic in Christchurch one year. It was a scorching hot day and suddenly clouds came over and it hailed – just as the singer started Winter Wonderland.

I was away for ten years and now I’m back the weather seems different. It used to be cold winter mornings with beautiful sunny days. It was more consistent then.

I was in Marton recently and they had a horrific thunderstorm and it scared me enough to hide under the blankets. I have never experienced anything like it.

My passion for dance comes from music and I enjoy feeling the music and freestyling.” Shylah says she finds herself dancing at school, practicing dances for competitions while sitting in class. “Even when I’m going to sleep, I visualise the dances and go over all the steps,” she says. A recent bout of Covid-19 just before the national competition stopped them from training for a few days. Once well, but still isolating, they spent all day practic-

ing their routine. Zariyah says it is an advantage to be sisters and able to train at home. In 2020 they, along with Nicole, created The Tribe dance academy. They had about 70 students before Covid-19 and are now back at about 60. With the girls teaching the classes, their holidays are busy planning what to teach the following term and creating the choreography for each dance. With Zariyah also sitting NCEA Level 2, life is busy for their household, but the girls wouldn’t have it any other way. They say while dancing together may drive some people apart, they have bonded over dance and teaching and get on all the time. Zariyah hopes to have a career in dance and loves choreography.

they think I’ve done a good job or not.” In 2019, Tim beat three other challengers to the job. This year two have confirmed their intention to run. Osmaston is a member of the Money Free Party, which advocates for no longer using money. He is also standing for mayor in five other regions; Nelson, Marlborough, Buller Westland and Grey. Harvey is the former owner of several real estate companies and developer of the Yelsa real estate tool. He says his top focus, should he be elected, would be to change the culture at the council. “They don’t listen to the community at all so no wonder people in the community are frustrated. They just want to be heard… that’s democracy and

we don’t have it.” He says he’s “not a politician” but a businessman and his top priority will be making the council more user-friendly. “I will have a business card that says ‘I am your mayor, I am a public servant, I am here to serve you.” He says he’s against building on greenspace and instead would rather the council gave cost breaks for people to subdivide existing properties in Richmond. He describes himself as “very green” and is against the decision to build the Waimea Community Dam but says that “there’s no point looking back” now that it’s built. Speaking about the current mayor Tim King, before King announced his re-election bid, Harvey said he’d like him to be his deputy. “I like Tim, I think he’s a really nice guy and that he has really

good intentions and I hope if he stands he stands as a councillor, and if he did I would nearly almost guarantee that he’d be my deputy. He’d be a huge asset to me because he would help me understand some historical stuff. I’ll hear what he has to say but I’ll make my own decision.” Nominations for council are open until August 12.

Smith announces Nelson mayoral bid: Meanwhile in Nelson, its mayoral race is also heating up, with former MP Nick Smith confirming that he will stand for the position. Smith joins current councillors Matt Lawrey, Tim Skinner, Rohan O’Neill-Stevens and former councillor Kerry Neal, as well as Richard Osmaston. Smith says he wants to lead the city in a “positive new direction”.

Open Justice Reporter

Ross Coeland admits he’d been drinking before he got behind the wheel of a car, but says it was the burrito he was eating, rather than the beers he’d consumed that caused him to slam into a line of traffic on Whakatu Drive. The police said he failed to see the car ahead because of how intoxicated he was. The 65-year-old had grabbed a burrito on his way home from town on a wintry afternoon in early June. While driving south to Richmond on Whakatu Drive he was distracted enough by his food to not see the car ahead. He told police he had been drinking, and was subsequently charged with driving with excess breath alcohol for a third or subsequent time. His most recent conviction was in July 2017. Coeland admitted the recent charge when he appeared briefly in the Nelson District Court on Monday. He’d been found on June 2 to have been driving while more than three times the legal limit. The police summary of facts showed he had a reading of

International students have returned to Waimea College JENNY NICHOLSON The borders have opened to a limited number of international students, with Leni Preiss one of 15 who started at Waimea College this week. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Leni. At the end of a 22-hour trip from Frankfurt to Auckland, she discovered her luggage had been left behind in Doha. Luckily, she was able to borrow clothes from host Mum Karen McNicoll. She describes her departure from Germany as very intense and emotional. “I have never been away from my family for more than a week, and half a year is a long time,” Leni says. “Mum had been worried about me coming because she had heard some stories of other

students who had travelled overseas and hadn’t had a good experience. Once we talked to Karen and family on Whats App, mum was really relieved.” Leni has experienced just how small the world is. Karen’s sister Susan is hosting a student who will attend Nayland College. When the girls connected, they realised their homes in Germany were just 10 minutes apart. Having hoped to travel to Nelson last year, Leni was very disappointed when Covid-19 delayed her trip. She is hoping to have new experiences, meet new people, and to grow. “Learning the language is my number one goal.” Her timetable sounds more fun than work. Along with an outdoor education programme tai-

Waimea College International director Hayley Roper says four other German students arrived

last week. She has just returned from a trip to Thailand to reconnect with agents. “We have recruited a few more students,” she says. “It is different meeting in person after using Zoom.” While there are just 15 new students this week, next year borders will again be open to more students. Hayley says it will take time to build back up to preCovid numbers, but she is very happy the process has started and new students are here. She is already hearing from students wanting to come in January. Study Nelson, an international education agency based here, had 41 students arrive on Saturday 16 July. They spent a week together in Nelson before moving to their homestays on Friday.

Wakefield mum helps save lives JO KENT One Wakefield mum has made the community a much safer place to be after her nomination for a life-saving defibrillator at Wakefield School was granted by two charities. Tania Parr, whose seven-year-old son Zach has a congenital heart defect, says when she heard that Embracing Hearts, a charity that donates automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to schools, and Heart Kids NZ, who support families affected by childhood heart conditions, wanted to donate a device to a local school, she had to put Wakefield School forward. “The Embracing Hearts charity were looking for a school in the region to give an AED to after a local family made an anonymous donation, so I put my hand up

without a second thought.” Like Tania’s family and many others with a child with heart problems, there is always the worry their heart may fail while at school, playing or exerting themselves. “Having an AED at Wakefield School will be so amazing. To know that my child and others with heart abnormalities or health conditions have this life-saving device on site is so reassuring.” She says that having the device at school, close to the public swimming pool, will mean extra protection for the wider Wakefield community, too. “I’m a nurse, so I know first-hand the importance of such a device, and when it comes to cardiac arrest, every second counts in terms of patient outcomes. I can’t thank this wonderful, kind, generous

family enough for their donation to Embracing Hearts, which in turn has greatly benefitted the whole community.” An AED is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It can analyse the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. According to Heart Kids NZ, 12 Kiwi children are diagnosed with a heart condition each week. Embracing Hearts trustee Emma Lawler says the funds for the Wakefield School AED came from a family from the local Jewish community, who chose the charity as part of their annual giving. “Isn’t that amazing?” Emma says. “The AED will be located on the outside of a school building, making it available to the com-

munity 24/7.” The charity aims to get an AED into every school with a heart kid. “We have donated 38 AEDs so far, with 18 more to be installed when they arrive in the country.” Tania says that St John have stepped up and will offer training

to locals. “They are going to be offering free training to the community to learn how to use the AED and the local committee have agreed to pay for the ongoing maintenance costs for the device. We’re extremely lucky and very grateful.” Nelson’s access to the West coast was cut off last week after State Highway 6 was closed for several days following a slip that blocked the road.After extensive safety work by Waka Kotahi contractors, State Highway 6 at Dellows Bluff west of Murchison reopened on Friday after the major rockfall early on Wednesday morning.

Boulevard Café closing

One of the longest standing cafés in Richmond is closing this Friday 29 July after nearly 50 years of business. The Boulevard Café in the Village on Queen Street has been up for sale for over a year with no interest. Sandra Lee Begg has owned the café for 18 years and says they have decided to cut their losses and close the doors for good. “The decision has not been made lightly and it will be a very sad day, but I struggle with my health and it’s my turn now to get the much-needed back surgery I require.” The café would have been in operation for half a century next October after originally opening in the Richmond Mall. “Please be sure to come in and say goodbye to the wonderful team that

have served you over the years.”

Back to school, back to masks

Mask wearing has made its way back into schools with the start of Term 3 this week. The Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education have been strongly recommended that schools amend their mask policy for the first four weeks of term to require mask wearing in all indoor settings for students Year 4 and above. In previous years, many schools have typically seen an increase in winter illnesses in schools at the start of Term 3. The recommendation comes as Covid-19 cases increase in many parts of the country.

Tasman’s breweries came away with a haul of medals in the Brewers Guild New Zealand Beer Awards, held at Sprig + Fern The Meadows in Richmond last week. The venue was selected as the Nelson regional hub for the black-tie event which Top of the South’s biggest breweries Sprig + Fern, Eddyline, Hop Federation, DNA Brewing and Test Lab attended. After the success of last year’s first-ever virtual awards ceremony, the winners of the 2022 NZBA were announced from the main hub at Emerson’s Brewery in Dunedin and beamed out live to five regional hubs across the country. Sprig + Fern took a total of 10 medals home, including a silver for their Best Bitter. Owner and master brewer Tracy Banner says she is extremely proud of her team. “It’s always special to celebrate. Our successes come from the combined effort of the team. From packaging, finance, sales, brewing and operations – everyone has contributed. As master brewer, it is very rewarding to see our beers do well.” Eddyline Brewery won a total of

14 medals, picking up a gold for their Happy Camper American Pale Ale. Co-owner Mic Heynekamp says the win represents a great team effort. “We make most decisions as a team and by using the power of collective input, everyone is invested into making the best beer.” Newcomer, Nelson Brood Fermentation, took home the overall trophy for Best in Class under the Specialty & Experimental category for their Feijoa & Rye beer. They farm their own organic vineyard with biodynamic practices and make minimal intervention wine. They also brew unfined, unfiltered beer that celebrates the seasons and takes time. Owners Lauren Yap and Jim Brown say they only entered one single beer into the awards and didn’t expect to win a gold medal, let alone a trophy. “We’re quite small and have only been brewing in New Zealand for two years so to win in a category that celebrates ‘weird beers’ is really affirming and recognition for our experimental style means a lot to us,” says Lauren. Executive director for the Brewer’s Guild, Melanie Kees, says the competition was brought for-

ward this year meaning there was just a nine-month turnaround between this competition and the last. “This year also saw the addition of the No & Reduced Alcohol Class to reflect the growth in this category, and with 29 entries in its first year it’s already proving popular.” A total of 29 judges were able to judge 828 beers in 119 style classes in just two days. The success rate at gaining a medal in the 2022 competition was 62 per cent which is a 10 per cent increase from 2021. All beers are judged ‘blind’ and scored out of 20 based on appearance, aroma, flavour and body, technical quality and style. “This was my first full NZBA judging and awards event, having only experienced it from the periphery in 2021. The work, the people, the energy and the absolute pleasure to be a part of something so professional really is something special,” says Melanie. The New Zealand Beer Awards is now in its 16th year and recognises excellence in beer and across the broader industry. The world-class beer competition is open to commercial brewers of all production sizes in New Zealand.

Richmond’s fairy grandmother JO KENT A quiet Richmond street has been transformed into a fairy wonderland by local grandmother Penny McPherson, who is now holding workshops for other grandparents on how to make their own fairy houses. What started as a lockdown project to bring joy to passers-by turned into a large-scale garden makeover featuring hundreds of fairy houses for the public to enjoy. “During lockdown I put a few houses out for people to spot on their way past, and it was so popular I kept making more and more, and that’s turned into hundreds over the last few years.” Penny has since opened her front garden up to the public, with a sign on the fence letting people know they are free to come in and wander around. “I have a donation box for the Big Brother Big Sister charity now because I’d rather people popped a gold coin in there rather than leave me chocolate in the mailbox.” With six grandchildren aged four to 15 living locally, Penny often uses their ideas to help with her designs. “They are involved in what I make, and all contribute in some way as kids tend to have a differ-

how to make their own houses, so I’ve set up a workshop which will do exactly that.” The groups will be run at Penny’s house and the fee will be donated to charity. “The workshops aren’t starting just yet, but I’m so excited to be

able to share a little bit of fairy magic with others who can then use their new skills to connect with their own grandchildren, either by making the houses together or putting a display in their own gardens.” And her neighbours are getting

in on the act too, with one gifting her a bench which people can sit on when they come to admire the garden. “My neighbours are really supportive, and some even have fairy houses in their own gardens.” There’s a sign in the fairy village which says people can ask to keep a house and she has given away over 500 so far. Penny also takes requests from children who lovingly address their letters to ‘The fairy lady’. “I’m always making houses and it does take a lot of time and effort and is costly, but I pay it forward as it makes me happy to do so.” Each house costs around $10 to make from a lightweight concrete mix which is then painted and decorated accordingly. “Children have also added their own little things to the display too, which I absolutely love.” She has plans on expanding her village across the road and up to a neighbouring park, but for now, she says, the school holidays have kept her super busy. “I didn’t realise we’d get so many people looking around but being able to spread a little fairy dust over the community makes me happy too.” If you are interested in one of Penny’s workshops, email Jo@waimea weekly.co.nz for details.

Garin student thrilled to speak at Parliament JENNY NICHOLSON Billboards at the last election caught 16-year-old James Ivamy’s eye, sparking an interest in politics. He was just 15-years-old at the time, but less than two years later he has had the opportunity to speak to MP’s and youth at parliament. James is Maureen Pugh’s Youth MP and spent three days last week at the annual Youth Parliament. “Getting to stand in chamber and speak on the plight of marginalised New Zealanders was the highlight of the week,” James says. “We had just three minutes to speak.” For James, a major concern is the 40 per cent truancy rate in New Zealand and in particular young people living in low-income homes. “Some youths are working to support their families,” he says. “They are stepping in where the government should be.” James says it’s interesting to hear other youth MP’s. Their views don’t necessarily align with his, but he is used to that. He says his parents are not politically motivated, and don’t support the same party

he does. They have influenced how he approaches life. “My parents are really nice people. They never let me get too high and mighty but keep me humble.” “It’s really important to listen to other’s opinions,” James says. “Then you can formulate your own argument. It’s not okay when you can’t have your own opinion without being called out for it or judged on your ideas, regardless of the person you are.” Outside of school, James is involved with the Nelson Youth Council and works at a local accounting firm doing administrative tasks. It’s a good fit for him, as he is hoping to study maths and finance at university. ‘I love to listen to democracy at work in chambers, but I would find studying politics too boring,” he says. “I like working where I am. You hear about what businesses are facing.” One day, he would like to be the Minister of Finance and Minister of Social Development. “That would be a dream come true.”

Staff loving the move to caregiving role JENNY NICHOLSON After her grandmother died during the first lockdown, Sheryl Seelen wanted to care for people in a way she was unable to for her Nana. Sheryl had worked nine years as a cook at Stillwater Lifecare but asked to move into a caregiving role, and says while her job may have some ups and downs it is very rewarding. “It’s the contact with the residents that I love,” she says. “I love my job and am so happy.” She was paid more as a cook but says for her it’s a choice to move into a job that even on busy days gives lots of satisfaction. “I reckon I get paid an hour a day to give out cuddles,” Sheryl says. Stillwater Lifecare facility manager Stephanie Murch says the job isn’t what people think it is. “It has so much joy in it.” During a recent bout of Covid-19

quite sick. “I think with the staff being busy before and still having families to care for, they were

impacted more than the residents who were able to rest and have everything done for them.”

Stephanie says that time was a learning curve for her, but she was fortunate that the nurses came down at separate times so there was cover. Some staff worked double shifts for three days to ensure cover. “It was a juggle. When staff came back after seven days they were still fatigued, and the work is full on. I am very lucky we have such a committed staff.” Staff who have worked as nurses overseas and are waiting for their New Zealand registration were moved to the rest home and dementia care unit to work under the supervision of a New Zealand registered nurse. At one point, Stephanie came in on her time off to work a shift helping with meals and showering. “I told them, ‘I’m not your boss now, you tell me what to do’. They found it hard to tell me what to do but secretly I think they loved it.”

Operation Coverup Ministries has also been the recipient of 40 of her knitted rugs. “I’m in my 80s but my fingers are still quite nimble, the rest of me not so much,” Joan says.

Now her work will be on display at The Quilt Show next month in Wakefield. Some of Joan’s quilts are just too personal to give away. After buying a bus, Joan and her late husband had nearly converted it to a motor home when he passed away. The two quilts Joan was making for the beds were stored away for years, but recently taken out and crafted into a large quilt. Then there’s the quilt the group made as a surprise for her 80th birthday, which is one she would never part with. Margaret Robinson started quilting in 2003. Living rurally, it was a

way to get to know people. Having always sewed, quilting was a good fit. She too has given many of her quilts away. “When the group first formed, we gave quilts to people who had lost everything in house fires,” Margaret says. “Now those given away from Waimea Quilters go to St Vincent de Paul who give them to families with a variety of needs.” The quilt to be raffled in September was made by Lana Wilson. She works a 40-hour-week nursing but found time to put it together. The Quilt Show will be held at Wakefield School from 23 to 25 September.

Cost of Living

In case you missed it, Finance Minister Grant Robertson announced the Labour government is taking further action to ease pressure on kiwis, by extending the reduced fuel excise and road user charges and half price public transport until 31 January 2023. This action will help ease the pressure for kiwis in the face of volatile fuel prices. This week the first of three Cost of Living payments will be processed. This payment, announced as part of Budget 2022 is for the 2.1 million people earning less than $70,000 to help with their day-to-day living costs. The Cost of Living Payment is assessed and automatically paid by Inland Revenue. The three payments will occur on 1 August, 1 September and 3 October. I’m back in Wellington this week after a three week recess from Parliament. I took a short break, then spent a busy week in Nelson, and had a week in isolation in Wellington after catching Covid-19. While in Nelson I took 11 buses over four days to get around Nelson and spoke to many people from Nelson and Richmond about what would encourage them to use public transport, walk or cycle more frequently. I also met with both Mayors and other community leaders about improvements needed to our transport network. I’m looking forward to our buses running more frequently from mid-2023 so that people in Nelson and Tasman have more transport choice.

New local snack wins national award JENNY NICHOLSON

Forestry’s finest recognised Grant Puklowski has can claim to be the best in the industry after he was awarded Skilled Professional of the Year at this year’s forestry awards. Top of the South Forestry Awards recognises excellence in the industry. Grant was celebrated as a true leader in the industry, a mentor to many, and one who genuinely cares about his team at Puklowski Silviculture, their work, their clients and the ongoing future of forestry. Grant, who also won the Forestry Excellence certificate earlier in Friday night’s ceremony, is one of OneFortyOne’s highest-performing silviculture contractors, but he’s quick to share the praise with his team. He invests a lot into training

his team and making sure they are well looked after, and that continues to pay off for him with many who have stayed with him for 20-plus years. A leader by example, he also takes on school leavers, training them up and giving them a chance in the industry. A 30-year forestry veteran, Grant followed his father into the industry, just as his own children are now working alongside him. Those who know him say he exemplifies forestry excellence in every aspect. The 2022 awards ceremony also saw the first induction into the Hall of Fame, with Darryl Bird acknowledged for the significant role he has played in the Logging and Forestry Industry Training Board and his contribution to

the wider industry. Darryl Bird has trained and assessed so many over the years and played a huge part in helping to create the industry that it is today. Mike Fraser of Fraser Logging was honoured as the Hero of the Industry for his massive investment, contribution and input to forestry in the region. The Crew of the Year Award went to Bryant Logging 730 Hauler Crew with Kelly Logging taking the Outstanding Environmental Management crown. Steve Borlase from Borlase Transport walked off with the Outstanding Health and Safety Management Award, and Buck Forestry Services were rewarded with the Outstanding Regional Service Performance award.

A love of cheese and a need for keto-friendly snacks has led Nelson’s Graham Manson to a win in the national FoodStarter 2022 awards. Graham says his win in the start-up category at the awards last week is unbelievable. He won with QB’s Crunchy Cheese, which is a puffed cheese snack made from 100 per cent New Zealand cheese. He says the product started accidentally. “I was cooking something else and noticed the cheese puffed up,” Graham says. “As technician instructions are the last resort, I wasn’t following the instructions and stuff happened.” Graham likens the snack to the taste of the best part of a toasted sandwich, the cheese that cooks on the outside of the bread. A driving force behind QB’s was Graham taking on a keto lifestyle a few years ago and finding shopping for suitable snacks the downfall in an otherwise successful diet. He decided to make his own. Working a full-time job and then working on QB’s after work has meant a busy schedule for Graham. “I am the owner and ‘everything’ of

Graham and Sonya Manson, who picked up a national award for a snack Graham developed, with Ministry of Awesome’s Dale Stephens, right. Photo: Supplied. QB’s,” he says. “My wife Sonya does the accounts and my family are taste testers, but I do the rest.” It has taken about a year to get to the point where it was ready for market. Trying different cheeses took time, but he eventually settled on the first one tried. Each time he increased the size of production something went wrong, but he was able to fix the problems. He sold at the Nelson Market first, before registering the product. Now he is selling about 120 bags a week at the market with his best week being 550 bags sold. That is still considerably short of the 3500 bags he will need to produce each week for New World shelves now he has won the competition.

Opinion

Wednesday 27 July 2022

Opinion Lowering the voting age to 16 Nowhere in last week’s article on the subject did I read any reference to the irrefutable scientific proof that in the mid-teens the prefrontal cortex part of the brain has not fully developed. This part of the brain is responsible for reasoning, planning, impulse control and judgement and it does not complete growth until the early to mid-twenties. This undoubtedly accounts for much of the errant behaviours we see in the 16 to low twenties age group. You know the ones...the car crashes, the street disorder and family harm, drug use, shoplifting etc. The “I can do what I want” scenarios. Anyone involved in enforcement, education or medical circles will attest to having seen these behaviours, as will many a parent. To tote that a 16-year-old can “leave school,

Have your say: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz facebook.com/waimeaweekly

get a job, pay tax, apply for (driver’s and firearm’s) licences” etc doesn’t nullify the proven limitations of the developing brain. Are such comparisons reason enough to assign adult responsibilities carte blanche? Perhaps society should be blamed for historically making changes that have allowed young people to be exposed to these harms when we know they aren’t fully equipped to cope. I am not saying all teens act in a majorly irresponsible way. Rather I am highlighting the medically recognised contributors as to why they might - the inability to reason, apply logic or fully comprehend outcomes through no fault of their own. Just because they are still developing the controls afforded through reaching adulthood. Is it reasonable to place the responsibility of electing the officials that will represent our people and country on their young shoulders? Is it fair to allow the

undeveloped mind to fully understand political agendas and the impact their vote could have on our society when they are not developed enough to do so? The push for lowering the voting age to 16 also appears to have become more vocal since the referendum on legalising (decriminalising) cannabis use was held, with many adolescents voicing their dissatisfaction with the result. Again, the ‘impulse’ behaviour and inability to reason or accept ‘no’ for an answer, irrespective of the facts. Look at the statistics around youth and adolescent drug use and, again, the medical proof of the damage that it does to the still-developing brain. Cannabis use amongst young people in NZ is rife. That doesn’t make it okay. So, the cynic might say that the cannabis argument may well be a contributing factor in the voting age argument. Time will tell, I guess. J Welch.

Our world is being strongly shaped by what is known as Cancel Culture. The Cancel Culture dogma is to walk away from, shout down, or demand something disagreeable to our own sensitivities be cancelled in the public sphere. The inculcation of this new drive to escape anything we find offensive was recently seen in our Youth Parliament. On the 20th of July a walkout was planned by some Youth MPs who took exception to Matthew Fisken speaking about firearms legislation in Aotearoa New Zealand. Cancel culture is exhausting! It generates fear in us, and erodes tolerance, debate, and getting on Hope NZTA dont do what they did Nelson Tasman obviously not have a Good bitches need with each other despite our differences.

How Hope School came to be ROBYN PARKES The first time a school is mentioned in Hope was in May 1852. A surveyor, Alexander Ogg, a man with progressive ideas, opened a private school, naming it “Hope Agricultural and Industrial School”. As the name suggests the purpose was to teach agricultural, industrial and horticultural subjects along with general education. The school was opened with a boarding option being offered. Mr Ogg advertised that serious attention would be given to the physical, moral, and religious training of the young men in his care. By February 1853, it was proposed to open an infant and female school in connection with the current school, along with evening classes to be offered for adults. Quite quickly after this Mr Ogg abandoned the project, and the

school was taken over by the Nelson School Society and reopened as a Day School on the 17th of October 1853. In newspaper accounts in 1857 there is mention that Hope School had been erected on land belonging to Matthew Campbell. It is not clear whether this was the same school as above or if it had been relocated. Examinations of district schools occurred each year. In September of 1862 the examination was conducted by Rev, D Dolamore. The 92 students of both Hope and Ranzau met to compete. Following this, it was normal for a tea to be provided. Tea being over, Mr Jessop supplied himself with a quantity of nuts and lollies, which, being strewn on the grass brought roars of laughter from the parents and children. Prizes followed with Martha Lines winning first prize in ‘General Proficiency’.

Jabez Packer, as superintendent, was credited for the great advancement that was made by the students over the next few years. In 1864 the school had around 80 children attending, 10 teachers and a well selected library, together with a ‘Young Men’s Bible Class’. Numbers slipped somewhat in the following year with numbers at around 55 children and five teachers. Within a year, concerns were raised over irregular attendance of students impacting negatively on their education. It was noted that only five out of 53 had remained at school during the previous year until they completed their twelfth year. By 1870, conversations were being held by the Central Board of Education to close the school to reduce expenditure. Concerned members of the public argued that to close the school would cause education to greatly

Twenty years later, the subject was raised again as discussions were held on the reorganisation of some rural schools. Recommendations were put forward to move Hope School to another location that had been

offered. Other options discussed were to abandon Ranzau School and move Brightwater Girl’s School. After much toing and froing, it was decided not to adopt the recommendations. In 1902 talks were held on amalgamating Hope and Ranzau. As history shows, this option was not acted on. The school, in 1964, ran its own newspaper, Hope School Press. The children did all the work, from the writing of the news to the campaigning for advertising and the accounting. Every child was encouraged to provide articles and theses were edited, proofed, and read by the children. The newspaper went out to residents in the area. One hundred and seventy years later the school is modern, well-resourced and caters for students from Years 1 to 6 in four different classes.

Protecting property investments across the region Locally owned and operated, P Alert Kiwi has been bought to the region by a local couple after a close scare with a rental property. Aware that the in-depth testing and decontamination process of a property exposed to methamphetamine can be an extremely costly affair, the couple began to investigate the options of protecting their nest egg. “The thought of tenants both cooking and smoking P - Methamphetamine - in our rental property was scary and stressful. Never mind all the implications that go with meth contamination. We thought there must be a detector available!” After purchasing and installing a P Alert device in their rental they immediately saw results. “It initially picked up very minor levels of meth. A very low reading indicated that someone had possible walked in with meth contamination on their clothing.” The small ceiling or wall-mounted device monitors the air quality of a home every half an hour, sending an instant alarm to a realtime monitoring service upon meth detection. Made in New Zealand, the alarm has been tested and certified by the ESR forensic laboratories Auckland. P Alert is the only alarm worldwide that detects the precursor chemicals within Methamphetamine. Fitted with

anti-tamper mechanisms, weekly reports are sent to the property owner ensuring peace of mind for landlords, home buyers and accommodation providers. “We were so impressed with the unit and its potential that we have teamed up with P Alert Industries to look after the top of the South Island. We are looking forward to assisting other homeowners, landlords, moteliers and businesses with protecting their properties and keeping their family and their assets safe. It is great to have a device that is going to impact positively on the community and make a difference to everyone’s lives. Our rental is our retirement nest egg. This meth detection device gives us confidence that our nest egg is safe.” Also available from P Alert Kiwi is the RoadBlock Vehicle Meth Alarm. Designed for trucking, motor homes, campervans, fleet vehicles, rental companies, tiny homes and private vehicles, the RoadBlock Meth Alarm will protect all vehicles, help them to stay safe on the road, and provide a safe and clean environment for other staff and road users.

Ecogirl awarded two-year Canadian scholarship JO KENT Nelson Tasman’s award-winning 16-year-old environmentalist Sophie Weenink has won a scholarship to study climate action leadership which will see her move to Canada in just a few weeks. “I will be living on campus at United World College on Vancouver Island in Canada with up to 200 students from around the world. I’m the New Zealand representative and am so lucky to have been chosen as only one person gets picked each year.” The scholarship will see Sophie study for two years on environmental science papers at two universities alongside finishing her high school subjects. She fought off competition from around the world for a place in the class of just 18 students. “The most exciting part for me is being surrounded by other people who have a similar passion. In Nelson, youth engagement has been really hard, but I’ve mentored a few young people who reflect my own values and drive in the various campaigns I’m involved with.” Her multiple beach and river clean ups have earned her recognition from Jacinda Ardern, and she’s won several awards for her

It’s an honour to be given a voice on so many important issues.” Sophie does a great deal of public

speaking in schools and at events, is a board member of Nelson Cancer Society, and the under 25 representative of Nelson Tasman Climate Forum leadership team. “I believe in action rather than just talking about it and being involved in so many groups has allowed me to help make change.” She’s a youth ambassador for Kohine Maia/Sport Tasman and a core volunteer and fundraiser

for Giving Aroha, assisting the homeless community with meals and necessities. Her efforts have been recognised over the country and last year she received a Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Local Hero Award and was announced as the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Young Legend. “This scholarship could have sent me to Germany, Singapore, Ja-

The key thing for me is to be involved in something I believe in and take it to the next level with like-minded, focussed people.” She says the interview stage was gruelling and took place over Zoom. “I had to speak to so many different scholars and alumni from previous years while they hand selected me for this particular course at this particular university. But being in Canada ticks so many boxes and the things I’ll be involved in are right up my street.” Before she leaves, Sophie is holding one final fundraising event at Fairfield House on Thursday 4 August alongside other inspirational figureheads, such as Pic Picot. “The Inspiring Stories Nelson talk is about listening to how normal people just like you can make a positive change in your area. You are never too young or too old to make a difference in the world and even small changes count. You will hear inspirational talks, take home a lovely goodie bag and have your choice of complimentary beverages. Be fast, tickets will sell out.” Tickets cost $39 from eventbrite.co.nz.

Pathways to mental health care Phone Helplines

There are a variety of free, phone-based services are available to provide support and information to you, your parents, whānau and friends. Helpline services are a great place to start if you are feeling low and need to talk to someone, or are

looking for information about mental health care.

• 1737 is a national helpline which offers brief one to one counselling support with a trained counsellor or peer support worker. It is for anyone feeling stressed, overwhelmed, down, and needing someone to talk to. 1737 can also provide support and information to family and friends of those affected by mental distress. Free call or text 1737 anytime 24/7. • There are specialist helplines that can help you get the specific support you need, whether it is help with parenting (Parent Help: 0800 568 856 9am to 9pm), sexuality or gender (OUTLine NZ: 0800 688 5463 6pm to 9pm), or depression (Depression Helpline: 0800 111 757 or free text 4202 24/7). GP

Free - Do it at home

If you’re aged 60 to 74, you can have free bowel screening. A bowel screening test kit will be sent to your home every two years. This simple test can help find bowel cancer early when it can often be successfully treated. When you get the test, just do it! It could save your life.

HP8248 - 04 JULY 2022

Key takeaway: For most people, the first step to accessing mental health care is to talk to a GP. A GP can guide and refer you on toward the appropriate service and care.

Bowel screening is easy

To find out more go to timetobowelscreen.nz or talk to your doctor

Typically, in a non-crisis situation, the best place to start is with your GP. A GP can provide advice and may suggest treatment options, including medication, psychotherapy and counselling. When appropriate, A GP might refer you to a special service or organisation if you meet certain criteria. Community mental health services that accept self-referrals While some mental health services in non-hospital settings require referrals from GPs or mental health professionals, there are many services and support groups in our region that accept self-referrals. The Family Service Directory, Healthpoint, the Mental Health Foundation and Te Whatu Ora provide a local directory of support groups and in-person support services. Private Therapy

The Mental Health Foundation recommends several search services for finding a therapist privately. When you work with a therapist privately you will have to pay for the appointment. You may be able to access the WINZ Disability Allowance to help cover some of the costs.

Mask up

If you need a vaccine talk to your pharmacist, GP or head to the Saturday morning clinic.

Harbour Master visits The Fishing Section of Club Waimea hosted guest speaker Stuart Whitehouse, Nelson Harbourmaster, at our July meeting. Stuart explained his relationships, which include Nelson City Council (his employer), Port Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough Harbourmasters, Coastguard, Maritime NZ and water users. A large part of his role is education, which he provides through day-to-day interaction with boaties and in speaking engagements with groups such as ours. He also participates in Maritime NZ “No Excuses” days. A Marine Safety Expo is scheduled for 6th and 7th of November this year and will take place in the Marina area. Port Nelson has safety challenges due to the confined “Cut” through the Boulder Bank, the narrow harbour channel, confined turning basin and vessels, ranging from paddle boards to container ships, using the waterways. By-laws exist to manage these risks by use of the high-speed transit zone and exclusion zones, and

he encouraged us to become familiar with them. Also, under the NZ Port and Harbour Marine Safety Code, navigation safety notices are issued by the Harbourmaster to inform all port and waterway users of any circumstance that may affect the safety of navigation within harbour limits.

Stuart Whitehouse, Nelson Harbourmaster Work is in progress to better manage the anchorage of vessels in the outer harbour to limit damage to the sea floor from dragging chains. Stuart has observed a particular weather-related hazard of great interest to our members.

Under building pressure over the Tasman Sea, isobars can become compressed along the West Coast. A pressure gradient builds up across the mountains of Kahurangi National Park. This gives rise to unexpected high south-westerly winds across the Waimea Plains and along the east side of the Bay. This can catch out water users trying to return to port and on an out-going tide can create large, potentially dangerous, standing waves at the harbour entrance. Boat safety equipment was discussed. A particular topic was the use of lifejackets which, under the by-laws, must be worn in vessels under 6m in length. Their effectiveness is limited if not fitted with a crotch strap to prevent them from slipping up over the head of the user. Also, Stuart stressed the need for regular inspection testing and maintenance of inflatable lifejackets. He provided some safety aids and booklets which were greatly appreciated by members.

Squash players in Greymouth Members of Club Waimea’s Squash Club recently enjoyed a great weekend at the Greymouth Open, featuring British Open champion. Paul Coll competing in his hometown. This was a highlight for many attending, including Liam Gale whose family make the tournament pilgrimage each year. Liam was the Men’s Open 5th Seed this year, winning his first game easily. He says he knew if he won his second game playing the number 4 seed, then he would be in the semifinal playing Paul. Liam won his second game 3-1 and was excited to play the current world's second-best player, for the second year in a row. A spokesperson for the club says, “He went on court knowing he would have to play some pretty amazing shots to win points and enjoyed every moment of this opportunity. What a great ex-

perience for Liam and this will be a memory he will cherish for life. We would also like to recognise what a fantastic sporting ambassador Paul is to New Zealand Squash and how much our Squash Juniors look up to him.” Stand out performers for Waimea was Men’s Division 3 winner Nate Crawford, and Division 3 Consolation Plate recipient Mario Lunjevich who won his first competitive game. Men's Division 2 Plate recipient Nevin Bolland and Women’s Division 1 Consolation Plate winner Barlee Van Niekerk.

College kids karting champions JO KENT Waimea College brought home the top trophy in the 2022 McLeod Diesel KartSport New Zealand National Secondary Schools Championships which took place at the Invercargill Oil Shop Raceway in Otatara over the weekend. The winning team was made up of Brightwater’s Ollie Workman alongside Mac Berkett, Riley Greig and Maia Nicholson. The last time Waimea College won was 16 years ago in 2006, so it was a major triumph by the students.

They joined nearly 50 karters in the championships which were decided over five races of eight laps each. Kids from all over New Zealand who hold a Tier 1 KartSport New Zealand licence rating are eligible to compete. Ollie says it was a long 12-hour drive to Invercargill and another 12-hour drive back to Tasman, but he came back home with some trophies. “My goal for the weekend was the top three, which I missed out on by one point. The racing was very close and exciting.” He placed fourth over-

all with the Waimea College team winning top spot. “It was a great day’s worth of racing and I enjoyed it a lot. I’d like to thank my mum and dad for giving me the opportunity to race at National Schools and also spending a heap of money over the week.” He says they spent the week in Invercargill and decided to do some activities to fill in the time, but a trip to Stewart Island got cancelled due to the violent weather, and tricky conditions greeted him for both the practice day and the first few rounds of heats.

“Over the next six months, there’s a lot going on and I’m really excited. I’m still looking for some sponsorship support for the BMW series where I have a car to race, but I need a bit of funding to help Mum and Dad get me through it, but promise to make everyone proud at all times.” Ollie joined Kartsport Nelson and started his racing career in August 2015 aged 7. The crew will be racing on 13 and 14 August at the Jason Richards Grand Prix at the KartSport Nelson track in Redwood Valley.

Getting your hands dirty is more fun if it’s not your home that’s getting messed up, which is what mum Mary Deaker discovered when she joined Brightwater Playcentre with daughter Mackenzie. “I wanted to be able to meet other local mums and it’s a safe environment with lots of fun and different activities to what we have at home.” Session facilitator for Brightwater Playcentre, Claire Haskell, says new members are always welcome and fees are free for the whole of Term 3. “We wanted to be more inclusive for everyone in the community, and decided that by dropping our fees it was one less financial burden for local families.” The playcentre usually charges $40 a term, while under-2s are free. “We also hire out the centre for parties, which is available to the whole community, not just members. It’s handy because we have the outside playground as well as a kitchen and fully-stocked toy library for kids to enjoy. Pop along on a Tuesday or Wednesday to find out more.” Photo: Mary Deaker.

Brightside What a woolly nice idea On the

JO KENT What started as weekly visits to Fossil Creek Farm for six-yearold Eden Hosie has turned into a mission to find someone to spin her llama wool so it can be turned into a blanket. “Eden has been going to Fossil Creek once a week to spend time with the animals as she’s really

into horses and nature. She calls it ‘looking after nature’ as that’s what she wants to do when she grows up,” says mum Aleisha. While Eden is there, she gets to wander round the farm and check in on the animals, and the llamas are her favourite. “They llamas must have been shorn recently as there is a big sack of wool there, and every

time she goes she comes back with another handful.” Over about five weeks, Eden has accumulated more and more wool and has grown so attached to it that it’s become sentimental. “She wants to be able to keep it, but it’s hard to keep a big bag of llama wool. “She knows that wool gets spun and turned into things, so she

thought we could do that and her Nana could knit her a blanket or snuggly for bed depending on how much it makes.” The only stumbling block is that the family can’t seem to find anyone locally who spins wool and would really like Eden to be involved in the process, either helping to spin it or watching while it’s being spun.

“It would be nice to get it spun as it’s leaving clumps all around the house. When she wants to play with it or bring it out it tends to shed all over the place, so I’ve had to put it away in the cupboard until we can deal with it.” If you can help Eden or know someone who can, email jo@ waimeaweekly.co.nz.

Coppélia set to hit the stage three years on Three years since director Gillian Francis announced the first casting list, comic ballet Coppélia will finally grace the stage at the Theatre Royal Nelson. Gillian says the performance has been plagued by Covid cancellations, with the first try at the performance foiled by the 2020 lockdown. After her Nelson Academy of Dance students continued to rehearse for almost three years, each time preparing to hit the stage but failing before the final hurdle, Gillian can’t quite believe that in just two weeks the show will finally go ahead. Coppélia tells the story of a boy named Franz who is infatuated with the beautiful Coppélia without realising she is in fact a life-sized doll, created by the eccentric and mysterious inventor Dr Coppélius. Franz falls deeply in love with her and wants to marry her, even though he is already engaged to another woman. His fiancee, Swanhilda, sees Franz throwing kisses at Coppélia and decides to impersonate the doll, in order to win his love. Chaos ensues, but all is soon forgiven. Swanhilda and Franz make up and get married. Gillian says the students had been rehearsing for so long, with the performance being cancelled each time, that late last year they ended

She says, having danced the same show as a young dancer, the perseverance will pay off with a display of beautiful costumes and stunning sets. Around 80 actors and dancers will take to the stage, with the youngest dancer being just four-years-old, the show promises something for everyone.

Tasman Mako seasons kick into gear PETER JONES There is a familiar look to the 2022 Tasman Mako men’s rugby squad, which was named on Sunday for the forthcoming Bunnings NPC season. Their first outing is against Southland in Blenheim on Sunday August 7 at 2.05pm. A squad of 32 has been announced for the demanding campaign, containing plenty of well-known faces, most of whom took part in the Covid-blighted 2021 campaign, when Tasman finished runner-up to Waikato. However, there is room for a couple of players new to regular provincial play, such as prop Matt Graham-Williams, outside back Tomasi Alosio and halfback Noah Hotham. The forward pack looks formidable and well balanced, being packed with Super Rugby players, including former All Blacks Atu Moli and Tyrel Lomax. The loss of Jacob Norris and Taina Fox-Matamua is balanced by a powerful loose forward mix, all current Super Rugby players. There is a less seasoned look to

Also absent this year are the experienced duo of inside back Tim O’Malley and winger Mark Telea. Young guns Louie Chapman and Hotham will share the nine jersey while Timoci Tavatavanawai is the most destructive of the outsides.

The midfield stocks are solid with NZ Maori player Alex Nankivell being joined by Levi Aumua, who enjoyed a top Super Rugby season with the Moana Pasifika crew, and Highlander Fetuli Paea. Meanwhile, on Saturday, the Tasman Mako women got their 2022 Farah Palmer Cup campaign off to a promising start in Whangarei. Although they went down 2910 to the hosts, the Northland

Kauri, the Mako showed enough to suggest they will quickly gel into a strong unit. Two first half tries pushed the hosts to a 12-0 halftime lead. First five Cassie Siataga, the most impressive of the Mako backline, landed a penalty to bring the visitors back into the game. However, two more Northland tries stretched their lead to 24-3. Again, it was Siataga who gave the Mako late hope, scoring a superb solo try to close the gap once more. Bethan Manners slotted the conversion to reduce the margin to 24-10 before a last-minute touchdown to the Kauri inflated it once more. Impressive for the Tasman side were stalwart Tamara Silcock, in her 30th appearance, fellow loosie Sui Pauaraisa, halfback Hannah Kelly and left wing Becky Davidson. The next game for the Mako women is against Taranaki in Nelson on Saturday, 30 July. On Friday the Tasman Mako development side were well beaten by their Canterbury counterparts in Hanmer, going down 69-7.

Netball Nelson and NBS to continue long standing partnership Nelson Netball Centre have confirmed an ongoing partnership with NBS into the 2022 netball season and beyond. Nelson Netball and NBS have been partners for many years and both organisations say they are excited to grow and develop the relationship as Nelson Netball look for more ways to increase exposure of the sport across the region. Nelson Netball General Manager Ani-Marie Waitai says their partnership allows them to put their netball community first. “Our partnership agreement allows us to put the needs of our netball community at the

forefront so that we are able to continue to offer opportunities, while growing our lifelong love of netball.” As well extending their naming rights partnership of the NBS Premier Netball Competition, NBS are also supporting both the junior and senior umpiring squads with brand new t-shirts and a long-term investment and have provided brand new post pads for Saxton Stadium. Over the last year, NBS has invested a record $1 million back into the communities that it serves. NBS general manager commercial Howie Timms says investing in the region at a grassroots level is a core part

of their role in the community. “We are committed to making a positive difference to the health and well-being of the people in our communities. Our sponsorship of Nelson Netball is a fantastic way of making this happen on the ground.” The 2022 Nelson Netball Season has just passed the halfway point. The NBS Premier Competition has already provided some exciting contests, with the FCL Nelson Men remaining unbeaten after being pushed to the wire by Jacks OPD in Round 1 and introduction of promotion/ relegation between all grades at the end of round 2.

Giants maintain unbeaten away record JACK MALCOLM The Mike Pero Nelson Giants have guaranteed themselves a top two spot in the final six after beating the Canterbury Rams 85-74. It’s a big result for the team, who will miss the first round of the playoffs after a format change for the 2022 season. All the games in the finals are to be played in Auckland, where a 3v6 and 4v5 quarter-finals will be played on Thursday 11 August, with the semi-finals on Friday and the final on Saturday. Sam Thompson led the Giants through the first half, keeping his team in the game as they struggled to make shots early. He scored 15 points in the first quarter shooting 60 per cent. Trey Mourning would add only four points to his name while the rest of the team collectively shot two from 10. They would take a one-point

deficit into the break but improved to take a three-point lead by the end of the second quarter. Aided by a handy eight first-half points from Nic Trathen, the team started to find their range as Thompson began to cool down, still having 19 points at the half. He would play a more supportive role through the remainder of the game, nearly earning his double-double with eight rebounds and five assists to finish the game with 27 points. But with the Giants, when one player starts to cool down, another one steps up to the plate, and Trey took the torch and ran with it. He finished the game with a double-double, 22 points, 12 rebounds and a steal. The Giants stretched their lead to nine points going into the final quarter, with the team starting to find their flow defensively to make stops and then convert at the other end.

The Rams, aided by the support of their home crowd, clawed their way back into the game to be just two points behind the Giants with just over three-and-a-half minutes on the clock. After trading possessions, Trey was fouled as he made the offensive rebound and was sent to the free throw line to stretch their lead back to four. Jarrod West, who had a quiet game, then drove the dagger in with a three-pointer from well beyond the arc before following it up with a deep two-pointer. Giants big man Nic Trathen said he leans on the culture of the team when asked what he learns from the experienced players around him. “The biggest thing for us is how we play together as a team. Obviously, there’s some big names coming in from overseas, but it’s just their work ethic and how we combine as a team.”

DAMIEN’S CORNER support New Zealanders from the tough economic climate resulting from COVID-19. From 1 August 2022, we will be providing a cost of living adjustment for those who earned less $70,000 in the previous tax year. Winter energy payments introduced by this government are also being paid out again this winter, and from 1 April, those receiving superannuation would have received an increase in payments. Neither are we shying away from the harder longer-term problems we face. One of those issues is the looming burden of keeping up with water infrastructure. In coming years these costs are estimated to be up to 13 times higher for rural users and 8 times higher for provincial users depending on location, costs which will result in large increase in your council rates if nothing is done now. Hon Damien O’Connor MP for West Coast-Tasman The first half of 2022 has been a busy time. As Minister for Trade and Export Growth, I’ve had a number of overseas visits, including to Europe last month where the Prime Minister and I negotiated the conclusion of a major free trade agreement (FTA) with the EU. It’s a deal that will add up to $1.8 billion to our annual exports to the EU. This follows the signing of an historic FTA with the United Kingdom earlier this year, and trips with the Prime Minister and business delegations to the United States, Japan and Singapore, where we’ve strengthened New Zealand’s trade relationships. While these trips have made it harder for me to spend as much time as I would like in our electorate, I’m proud of the work we are doing as a Government to make a very real difference for the electorate and for New Zealand. I continue to ensure that the voice of our electorate is heard in Wellington. My staff are still working hard for the electorate from the electorate offices in Greymouth, Westport and Motueka to ensure that your concerns are being passed on to me. We continue to support our local communities through what has been a difficult couple of years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people are still catching COVID, particularly through this winter, and I encourage all of you to take a RAT test when you have symptoms, and to let the Ministry of Health know when you have tested positive so you can be provided with the appropriate support. The Labour Government is also working hard to ensure that we

And for a long time on the West Coast and in Tasman, we have seen that our small councils have been unable to cover the costs of large water infrastructure projects. That is why the Labour Government is proposing to establish four new water services entities, which will mean the estimated $185 billion cost over the next 30 years can be met through funding from all New Zealand taxpayers without placing an outsized financial burden on smaller councils like those on the West Coast and in Tasman.

A fifth Commonwealth Games appearance just as exciting as her first JACK MALCOLM Val Smith is just as excited on the eve of her fifth appearance at the Commonwealth Games as she was her first time. At 57-years old, Val says while her role in the team has changed over the years, her love for the game has never waned. “With all my sports, I’ve been really lucky that I’ve lasted this long, because I love what I do. “Your role does change and you feel it over time, but I love giving back to the younger generation coming through and passing my experience onto them. “I’ll still be in there and showing those girls you can play at the highest level and enjoy every moment of it.” Despite Covid-19 interrupting their preparations, Val says the team have bonded well over

Zoom and through training camps. They recently travelled to Australia to compete in a Trans-Tasman series, played on a turf that will simulate the conditions of the Northern Hemisphere. She says the greens on that side of the world are completely different to the ones in New Zealand. “It’s like a completely different game. “It will take all of our focus and concentration to stay at the top of our game (in the conditions) “People don’t realise and think the expectation is to medal,” she says. The biggest difference is how much slower the greens run on the other side of the world, with the team forced to train on local croquet lawns because they simulate the conditions. Val says the Trans-Tasman se-

ries was a great opportunity to see how different it would be, and they have a lot of fine tuning to do after a tough loss. She hasn’t played in the Northern Hemisphere since winning bronze at the Glasgow Games in 2014, having fallen just short of making back-to-back finals after a silver medal finish in Delhi. As part of the triples and fours team, she’ll have two more chances at medalling again this time around having finished 5th and 9th in the Gold Coast Commonwealth games four years ago. Val says she’s got no plans on slowing down anytime soon. “I’ll just keep going till I’ve had enough. “I feel in a very good position to be going to a fifth Commonwealth Games to represent New Zealand. It never gets any less exciting.”

We have a small rating base and large issues with water infrastructure. There’s an all-too-easy cry of “asset grab”, but in many cases the assets have become liabilities on the balance sheet and are being propped up by the central government. With tourism coming back online again we too often have boil water notices at iconic West Coast locations. Why? Because all too often our thinking is short-term. I know that some concern has been expressed regarding small scale providers on the West Coast and in Tasman, i.e. those who draw water out of their own or neighbouring tanks. I have been actively engaged in discussions with Minister for Local Government Nanaia Mahuta to ensure that the reforms are fit for purpose and practical for small scale providers. I will be working to ensure that the changes that practical, workable outcomes are achieved that appropriately regulate the provision of these water services. I am looking forward to seeing you in the electorate in the near future to hear the opportunities and challenges facing you, and continue to work hard for the electorate, and for New Zealanders.

Celebrating life of Nelson’s leading karate light

JACK MALCOLM The life of Eiko Hanshi Andy Barber, one of the most accredited karate masters in the world, is being celebrated after passed away last week, aged 74. He dedicated his life to the sport and helping others, with thousands of students from around the country. As an 8th dan master, Eiko Hanshi Andy was one of just three practitioners in the world with the title when he was awarded it in 2008. The Hanshi rank is sometimes referred to as ‘the masters of masters’. In June, Eiko Hanshi Andy was promoted to Eiko Hanshi 8th dan (chief master) level alongside Christchurch’s Renzie Hanham and American Charles Martin. In dedication of their lifelong dedication and contribution to Seido Karate, the trio are the only people in the world to be presented the unique title. Only one person has a higher rank, Seido karate’s founder Tadashi Nakamura, and it will never be awarded again. Eiko Hanshi Andy found his love for martial arts as a teenager growing up in Wellington. Inspired by watching Avengers fight crime with karate-inspired moves, he joined a gym in Petone. A visit to New Zealand by Tadashi (the then worldwide

chief instructor for Kyokushin karate) inspired Eiko Hanshi Andy to continue following his passion. After finishing high school, he travelled to Japan for months of intensive training at the Kyokushinkai Honbu Dojo in Tokyo. On his return, he worked for a publishing company and travelled the South Island while continuing his martial arts practices. Through those travels, he saw Nelson as a great place to raise a family and in desperate need of a karate school. In 1974, at the age of 26, Eiko Hanshi Andy quit his job and converted the Parere Street factory building into a place to teach what was then a little-known martial art. He also met his wife, Jane, in Nelson when she started karate as one of his students. Over the next 48 years, the sport would explode in popularity and thousands of students would come through Seido Karate Nelson’s doors. In 1975, Eiko Hanshi Andy was selected to captain the New Zealand karate team in the World Championships, where he met Tadashi for the second time, and it made a big impression on him. The next year Tadashi would withdraw from Kyokushin karate to set up his own school, named Seido (the “sincere

way”) and Eiko Hanshi Andy quickly followed suit. The school flourished under Eiko Hanshi Andy’s leadership, with hundreds of students regularly attending the classes held each week. He would also open further satellite dojos in Stoke, Richmond, Motueka, Blenheim, Reefton, Hokitika and St Arnaud. Despite all his personal accolades and awards, Eiko Hanshi Andy’s biggest honour was the students he helped guide throughout his life. From turning around troubled youth to watching his prodigies travel the world to teach and compete, Eiko Hanshi Andy lived a life full of helping others. In 2016, Andy received the Queen’s Service Medal for services to karate and the community. He is survived by his wife Jane, children Aaron, Natasha, San and Sophie. In a statement released by the family, they said they had lost their husband, dad and Oji. “True to his character, he was charming, kind and hardworking to the end, even smiling at our jokes.

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

STAND FOR TASMAN

2 7 J U LY 2 0 2 2

Logging our appreciation for wild weather response When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Once again, the combined resources of our staff and external contractors have put in an outstanding effort in the face of a recent weather event. Strong gusts of wind and up to 200mm of rain fell across the District during a 24-hour period on 11 and 12 July.

Arguably, there has never been a more important time in our history to get involved by standing for Council.

Our response network was kept busy around the clock as the situation evolved, from monitoring forecasts, planning, providing regular updates to residents, traffic management and clearing debris at the locations worst hit.

Our Council and two community boards play a critical role in supporting the resilience and prosperity of Tasman.

Photos from the many incidents that our teams attended demonstrated the size of the job they were tasked with.

In the face of societal change, disruption from Covid-19, the impact of climate change and radical reform in the sector, delivering positive local outcomes matters now more than ever.

Weather events such as these are challenging for all involved. As well as acknowledging the work of our own team, we’d also like to thank you for your patience and resilience when these situations emerge.

The clock is ticking if you plan to stand for Tasman in this year’s local body elections.

The role of a Tasman District Councillor is two-fold, encompassing governance and representation. Through effective governance, our Council always acts in the best interest of our community, both for today and future generations, balancing both short and long-term responsibilities. Representation means space for everyone to have a voice, be considered and thrive. All ages and stages, all cultures and genders, all abilities and ambitions. It’s hard work but extremely rewarding. You’ll be responsible for enhancing the wellbeing of the Tasman community and all that it entails – a healthy natural environment, thriving businesses, safe spaces for all and a place that supports every individual’s sense of belonging. We need candidates with vision, empathy and commitment – collaborators who can listen to all viewpoints before reaching a considered conclusion. A candidates guide is available on our website, tasman.govt.nz/elections. Nominations close at noon on Friday 12 August.

Register your dogs now! There's only a few days left to register your dogs before penalty fees are applied. Any dogs that are still unregistered and unpaid on 1 August will incur a 50% penalty fee. You can download a registration form from our website. Visit tasman.govt.nz/dog-registration.

Workshop for Peaceful Towns art competition

Working around our streams? Keep it clean Just by looking around our region – it's clear that we are a busy bunch in Tasman. However, we should never be too busy to make sure the leftovers from our hard work aren’t ending up where they don’t belong. Whether you’re busy on the work site or it looks like a windy day outside wherever you are – please take the time to ensure any rubbish, wrapping, packaging or other material is disposed of appropriately. Staff carrying out water quality sampling in Borck Creek recently have reported finding a lot of polystyrene and other plastic rubbish in the culverts that flow into the creek and the riparian zones. This has also extended to polystyrene and plastic signs blowing down the street in the high winds, towards Borck Creek, as well as rubbish stacked high in open-topped skips on or near building sites. Borck Creek and its tributaries carry stormwater from the southern and western fringes of Richmond to the sea at Headingly Lane.

Korere-Tophouse Road

Slow down and drive to the conditions Our grit truck drivers are out in the early hours every freezing morning spreading grit on the worst affected roads to improve surface conditions so we can drive around safely in winter. However, motorists still need to drive to the conditions. The cabin of a car can be 20 degrees on a sub-zero morning, but the car being comfortable doesn’t mean the road is free of ice and drivers can be lulled into a false sense of safety. Ice can remain on roads all day, especially in areas shaded by high banks and tall trees. These roads freeze sooner and may not thaw during the day. Grit only adds about 15 percent extra traction, which isn’t much when you’re driving on ice. Grit itself can be very slippery and can be a big risk to a vehicles traction, especially motorcycles. So, here are some tips for safer winter driving:

Monday 1 August, 4.00 pm, Richmond Library.

The best way to navigate wet roads where ice could form is to slow down, drive to the conditions and not rely on grit to provide traction.

Young people of Tasman (6 – 15) are invited to participate in the Peaceful Towns art competition. To help brainstorm ideas for artwork, we’re hosting a workshop with a peace promoter and professional illustrator. The workshop is best suited for 10 – 15 year-olds and art supplies will be provided. To find out more about the competition go to bit.ly/3yZoP7f.

Drive at a safe travelling distance because it takes longer to stop on slippery roads. In winter, especially in poor weather, double the two-second rule and leave a safe distance between you and the car you are following.

Avoid sudden braking or turning movements that could cause you to skid.

Some sections of the stream are adjacent to and downstream of current subdivision construction activity. We want to ensure the stream is kept free of things that might have a negative environmental impact. So, when it comes to keeping our streets and streams clean – don't drop the ball, pick up your rubbish.

COUNCIL HUI At Orange, meetings will take place in person and via Zoom. Public forum presenters can speak in person if they wear a mask, follow one-metre distancing, and attend one at a time. Visit tasman.govt.nz/meetings-calendar for details and the Zoom link. Regulatory Committee Thursday 28 July, 9.30 am Tasman Creative Communities Subcommittee Tuesday 2 August, 10.00 am.

It’s nomination time!

This resulted in slips, fallen trees, flooding, wastewater overflows and damage to roads between Golden Bay and St Arnaud. A number of road closures also caused disruption to residents.
