Doctors urge vaccination

Local doctors are voicing concern over Motueka’s comparatively low vaccination rate, which sits around 70%.

“We are at major risk once Delta gets here, and it may not be far away,” say local doctors.

Local health care professionals overwhelmingly support vaccination against Covid-19 and other public health measures such as mask use in public areas, physical distancing and hand hygiene.

“These measures

are not just an individual choice; when we undertake these measures, we do so for our whanau, friends, work colleagues and the entire country.”

The sense of urgency is real and if Delta arrives in our community before vaccination rates increase it could have a profound impact on our town and local businesses.

With rumours swirling and misinformation spreading on social media, doctors acknowledge it can be hard to know where to look for medically

sound and approved advice.

A FAQ document has been compiled and can be found by visiting www.doctorsstand-up-for-vaccination.com “By following the advice given by medical profession-

als, the medical community and the general public can work together to ensure our town is safe.”

Rumours are being bandied around including accusations that doctors will withhold treatment for the

unvaccinated, this local doctors say is “patently false”.

“We 100% endorse people’s right to make a personal choice and we remain here to care for ALL people, independent of vaccination status.”

A plea to Tasman –think pink for breast cancer this weekend

Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is asking the people of Tasman to generously support local pink ribbon fundraisers happening this weekend. Volunteer collectors will be stationed around the region for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 October. Then on Sunday 31 October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month culminates with New Zealand’s first ever neighbourhood Pink Ribbon Walk.

Extended Covid19 restrictions around the country have forced the cancellation of two major fundraisers this year – the iconic Pink Ribbon Walks in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal in Auckland. The charity expects to lose more than $500,000 in income as a result, and it’s now appealing to the people of Tasman to help make its remaining events a success.

“We know this is devastating for our supporters, who volunteer or walk to honour the women they’ve lost, or to mark their own journey with breast

cancer. However, we’re still committed to making the rest of our events a huge success and we hope the Tasman community will get behind our efforts to fight against breast cancer.”

The neighbourhood Pink Ribbon Walks encourage people to fundraise by getting dressed up in pink and walking in their own communities. Participants will get the chance to warm up virtually with Celebrity Treasure Island star Joe Naufahu, and win prizes via social media throughout the day from event sponsors Estee Lauder Companies, The Hits, SBS Bank and Pink Lady Apples. Sign up for a neighbourhood Pink Ribbon Walk at pinkribbonwalk. co.nz/virtual and follow @pinkribbonNZ on social media for all of the virtual action on the day.

Donations can be made to the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal through volunteer collectors who will be out in force shaking pink buckets across Tasman on 29 and 30 October, or

Have your say on proposed speed limit changes for High Street, Motueka

If you live in Motueka or drive, bike or walk along Motueka’s High St (SH60), Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency wants to know what you think about the speed limit.

Public consultation opened on Monday, 11 October on proposed changes to speed limits along this stretch of road.

“Making sure speed limits are safe and appropriate for the road and its surroundings is one of the most effective things we can do to help prevent people dying or being seriously injured on our state highways,” says Waka Kotahi Director Regional Relationships Emma Speight.

“No matter what causes a crash, speed is always a factor in the severity. Put simply, the speed of impact can be the difference between walking away or being carried away from a crash.”

High Street Motueka is a busy road with lots of people driving, walking and cycling through the area. It includes the town centre for Motueka, and a number of schools, houses and businesses along the way.

High Street is also used by people and freight carriers as a through-road to get to other parts of the

Tasman, West Coast and Nelson regions.

“The mix of people walking and cycling and different vehicle types in this urban environment can create safety issues for everyone. Ensuring safer speed limits is a relatively simple way to help reduce those safety risks for everyone,” says Emma.

This formal consultation follows earlier conversations with Tasman residents on what they thought about the current speed limits on High Street. The feedback received was considered along with technical assessments, to propose changes to the current speed limits.

“The new speed limits proposed, alongside the safety improvements currently underway - traffic signals and a new raised roundaboutwould help make High Street safer for everyone, especially those walking or cycling within the busy town centre”, says Emma.

“The consultation for the proposed speed limit changes is not a vote. It is about seeking valuable local and community input so that we can consider wider factors and context into our decisions. The question we ask during con-

sultation is whether there are any external factors we should consider regarding the proposed speed limit changes.”

These factors could include: access ways to businesses and driveways to homes we may not considered within our technical assessment; unmarked bus stops where children are walking across the street; sections of the road where there are more vulnerable people (like children, elderly people, people on bikes).

Formal public consultation on the proposed changes to speed limits on SH60 High St Motueka will run until Friday, 5

November 2021. Find out more and make a submission at www.nzta.govt.nz/ sh60-motueka-safety-improvements

NZTA is keen to hear the public’s opinion on proposed speed changes to Motueka’s High Street.

National MPs visit and listen to Covid challenges in our area

National List MP Maureen Pugh brought colleagues Michael Woodhouse, National’s Finance spokesperson (right), and Climate Change spokesperson MP Stuart Smith, to the region to hear viewpoints on current Covid challenges from a wide range of sector interests.

After the meeting Maureen Pugh said the feedback received was a valuable insight into the impacts of lockdowns and some good ideas were shared that will help design a way forward.

Frustrations include the unsustainability of continued lockdowns, and the Government’s lack of planning which has resulted in an inability to adjust to changes of direction. Workforce issues are still causing challenges across all sectors.

Live youth theatre show against all the odds

Would you like to take a stroll through the Valley of Lost Hearts?

How about making a bid at an auction of body parts?

And have you ever thought about how you would get your body back if you lost it on the internet?

Disembodied is an original theatre piece from the minds of director/writer Damara Sylvester and the 12 talented members of the InsideOut Youth Theatre ensemble that takes its audience on a journey through the tricky territory of exploring what our bodies mean to us in the digital age.

Aimed at audiences

10+, Disembodied is a fun and challenging show that includes comedy, music, dance and circus skills.

It has been a huge challenge creating and rehearsing the performance through Covid lockdowns, says director Damara Sylvester. “But we have persevered, because making thea-

tre brings us joy and connection and meaning. And we want to share this with as many people as we can.”

Logistics and funding have been trickier than ever, with ticket sales limited due to Covid restrictions. The team have refused to be defeated and have launched a crowdfunding campaign to help keep this production going and keep live performance happening in Motueka. If you would like to support this campaign, you can find the InsideOut DISEMBODIED cam-

paign on PledgeMe.

Or you can come and see the show –LIVE! - to celebrate the creativity and sparkling performances of this talented youth ensemble in the Motueka Memorial Hall on November 5 & 6. Seating is limited, so book early. Tickets available from TryBooking.com.

The show will also be available as a digital version in case of Covid alert level changes and for anyone who cannot make it to Motueka. Supported by Creative Communities Tasman.

Life skills developed on Canoe Camps

range of skills are taught, encouraged and nurtured on The Wilderness

The outdoors is a powerful platform to assist people on their life journeys while developing an appreciation of the environment and local youth seized the opportunity to do just that during the recent term holidays.

Two holiday camps were run by Motuekabased charity, The Wilderness Canoe Trust, for 9-13 yearolds. A group of first timers aged 9 and 10 joined the Trust’s team on their two-day, onenight camp, ‘My First Canoe Camp’, before a group of seasoned adventurers aged 11, 12 and 13 joined them for the threeday, two-night camp, ‘Wilderness Canoe Camp’.

During these camps the children learned to paddle and steer canoes. They worked together carrying their canoes ashore, cooking camp food, and pitching tents. They also picked up some bushcraft skills as they learned to use a knife to carve objects to make life more comfortable in the bush.

Furthermore they had fun playing games and new friendships were formed along the way.

“At the Wilderness Canoe Trust we provide safe canoe adventures and wilderness experiences aimed at building confidence and teamwork skills,” says manager Eva Maureau.

Real life adventure through journeying in the wilderness, helps develop life skills and a connection to the natural world that lasts a lifetime. The sense of accomplishment and self-confidence that young people gain from stepping outside their everyday lives and learning to live simply and well in the wilderness, are priceless steps in their development toward adulthood.

The team at the Wilderness Canoe Trust are already looking ahead to the January holidays when they’ll do it all again. To have your child join them on one of these camps or for more information please visit www. canoejourneys.co.nz

Canoe Trust camps.

Local children enjoy themselves on the recent Canoe Camps.

During the school holidays ‘In Nature Education’ ran a fantastic holiday programme. Children engaged in bushcraft, adventuring, games, fire making, outdoor cooking and playing in nature. And they absolutely loved it. In Nature Education offer nature days on Mondays in Marahau and a One Day Nature School as well as their school holiday programme. Run by Anna Ormandy and Jodi Ellis who are both trained ECE and primary teachers, their focus is on helping tamariki connect with nature through play based learning and exploration.

Youngsters practiced a variety of fire making methods then enjoyed cooking kai and of course eating it!

NRDA launches ‘One hundred Ways’ Campaign

On Monday, 18 October the Nelson Regional Development Agency launched the ‘One Hundred Ways’ domestic marketing campaign, a campaign designed to showcase the diversity of experiences on offer in Nelson Tasman and inspire locals and visitors to explore the region, discover new things and support local businesses.

The campaign extends on the success of last years ‘We’ve Got This’ campaign, in which the Adventure Challenges saw thousands of locals and visitors completing challenges to try new things in their backyard with many stating that it was their ‘best summer ever’ as they ticked off the things that had long lingered on their bucket list and immersed in the opportunity to explore a little more.

The ‘One Hundred Ways’ campaign looks to build on that excitement and enthusiasm to reveal even more experiences for locals and visitors to enjoy over the upcoming summer season and

beyond.

“There really is so much to discover about Nelson Tasman. Of course, we have the beautiful beaches and the great weather, but there are also so many other incredible experiences right here in our backyard that many people don’t even know exist. This campaign gives us the opportunity to highlight these hidden gems and dig a little deeper into what Nelson Tasman is all about,” says Laura Duquemin, Marketing & Digital Executive at the Nelson Regional Development Agency.

A series of 100 15-second videos released on the @nelsontasmannz social media channels over the next 100 days will reveal 100 different ways that you can experience the Nelson Tasman region, showcasing a range of activities, experiences, restaurants, cafes, retail shops, events, artisans and attractions. There is something to appeal to every type of explorer, from those who are interested in some thrill and adven-

ture, to those who prefer to kick back and enjoy some art and good food.

“Getting the call to be included in this campaign was a fantastic surprise for a small business like ours. After a really tough year, we are hopeful that this campaign will convince locals and other New Zealanders to come and experience what

we have to offer here at Archery Park,” says Markus Erdmann, Archery Park “As a small business tucked away in a little village in Wakefield, people are always surprised to find out about us when they attend one of our open days. We hope this campaign helps more locals and visitors to discover Willow Bank and try something a

little out of the ordinary. We thoroughly enjoyed filming day where our staff and some Wakefield residents all got dressed up in heritage clothing, explored the village and sipped on some of our famous milkshakes,” says Christine Grieder from Willow Bank Heritage Village.

The NRDA have been working with

Motueka’s Kyle Mulinder from Bare Kiwi, a content creator and social media influencer to produce the 100 short videos for the campaign.

“Filming 100 adventures in one month has been a massive task to undertake but it has been such an amazing experience. I’ve been really surprised by how diverse this region is and mind-

blown by how much there is to do,” says Kyle.

“Everyone says “oh I need to do that one day”, well that one day is now, because there’s not a single thing, we’ve filmed that you should be leaving for another day!”

Jobs for Nature funding to support pest eradication projects on Farewell Spit

Plan now for unexpected outages

With

More than $6 million in Jobs for Nature funding is being made available to support three iwi, community and council-led projects targeting the eradication of rats, stoats and possums as part of the Predator Free New Zealand 2050 mission, Predator Free 2050 Ltd announced on Wednesday, 29 September.

The three projects in the Kaipara Harbour peninsulas, Farewell Spit/Wharariki and Kawau Island are currently in the planning stages, with any fieldwork starting mid-2022 and expected to be completed in 2026.

“These are three particularly promising landscape-level projects and we hope this anchor funding

provides the confidence for other partners to invest and get involved. Should all go ahead as planned, they are forecast to create more than 100 jobs,” says David Macleod, Acting Chair, Predator Free 2050 Ltd (PF2050 Ltd).

“The support we already have from iwi and hapu, the community and councils for these projects is awesome. PF2050 is a really ambitious goal and that sort of local leadership will be key to our eventual success.”

The Farewell Spit/ Wharariki project, to be communityled by the Tasman Environmental Trust and HealthPost Nature Trust, already has significant community support with habitat

restoration and predator control work previously carried out.

Farewell Spit is a unique and internationally-recognised environmentally significant area for migratory birds and its biodiversity value, and a culturally significant area for local iwi.

It is also a defendable geography and serves as an anchor for that part of the South Island. Over time, other work will move towards the Abel Tasman National Park and south to Kahurangi and the West Coast.

PF2050 Ltd has committed to fund $3m of the $9m cost, with the remaining $6m to be raised by other partners. Should it progress, the project is forecast to create up

to 50 jobs.

“These are big, novel projects that have the benefit of taking on the lessons of the work already being done. We know a lot more about what eradication methods work and what don’t in different environments than we did even five years ago,” says David.

“PF2050 projects are strongly connected to science-led research and development efforts to provide the tools needed to succeed at a landscape scale.

Ultimately, over time these and other landscape-scale projects are going to connect, creating large predator free areas, resulting in significant benefits for our natural environment and native species.”

Our national earthquake drill

The New Zealand Shakeout, our national earthquake drill, is taking place 9:30am on Thursday 28 October. Many organisations around the country are planning special events and it is an ideal time for all of us to look at how prepared we are for a crisis and make sure we are as ready as we can be when a natural disaster occurs.

As an essential service, Network Tasman has a comprehensive plan to ensure:

z our network is as resilient as possible to natural disasters; and

z we are prepared to respond and restore power to our communities as quickly as possible should a natural disaster damage our electricity network.

Enhancing Nelson Tasman’s resilience

Many of our customers live and work in rural areas so to enhance resilience following a disaster we have identi ed a number of rural schools where we have installed additional wiring that makes it easier and faster connect and share electricity from a mobile electricity generation unit. This project will allow these schools to function as community hubs in the event of an emergency.

Check your supplies and form a plan

Now is a good time to check your earthquake supplies at home. Ideally, everyone should have enough food/ water/ batteries for three days or more. If possible, keep a second full gas bottle at home for BBQ cooking. Have a discussion with your family and form a plan, where to meet, who is picking the children up, etc. Talk to your neighbours and get to know your community.

Visit: www.getready.govt.nz/prepared for more information about how to prepare for an emergency.

Teaming up to protect top of South

Government support for a mountainto-sea landscape scale project to clean up rivers in the Marlborough Sounds will open up dozens of new job opportunities, Conservation Minister Kiri Allan says.

The Te Hoiere/ Pelorus Catchment Restoration Project is one of three topof-the-South initiatives receiving new funding through the Government’s Jobs for Nature programme, a multi-agency initiative with the purpose of creating naturebased employment in response to the economic impact of Covid-19. “The community, including landowners, iwi, council, government agencies and businesses are already working together on the project, which covers more than 10,700 hectares of the Te Hoiere and Kaituna River and Cullen Creek catchments,” says Kiri.

“The region is one of the country’s most scenic spots, with the Pelorus River used as backdrop during

filming of scenes for the second of Peter Jackson’s Hobbit Trilogy. We want to keep it that way.

“A $7.5 million Government investment will mean the project crew can push on with the next phase, accelerating river restoration work, planting, weed control, animal pest control and habitat enhancement for native species such as pekapeka/bats, mioweka/banded rail and shortjaw kokopu. It will create job starts for up to 79 people over four years.

“A nursery will also be established on Ngati Kuia land to propagate and grow eco-sourced natives to be planted as part of the project.

“The second project, led by the global nonprofit organisation The Nature Conservancy, in conjunction with DOC, the Tasman, Nelson City, Buller, and Marlborough councils involves widescale organised weed management across 35,000 hectares of the northern South Island and will explore the

possibility of expanding the protection of some sites through QEII covenanting.

“Funding of $6m through Jobs for Nature will employ 29 people with mobilised teams who can work across different locations and provide support to public and private landowners in their aim to leave an environmental legacy we can all share in.

“And lastly, but definitely not least the Picton Dawn Chorus/ Te Atiawa o Te Wakaa-Maui community group will receive $700,000, enabling them to expand their predator trapping efforts from 415 to 4,815 hectares.

“In just five years this group has encouraged more than 600 people to trap predators in their backyards and has a team of 165 volunteers working in surrounding bush areas, “The Jobs for Nature funding will mean eight people can be employed across three years to help with the regeneration of native birdlife, lizards, insects and forests.

Native species such as this shortjaw kokopu are set to benefit from the Te Hoiere/ Pelorus Catchment Restoration Project.

Habitat enhancement for native species such as pekapeka/bats is to take place.

SPEEDWAY

FIREWORKS & RACING FOR THE KIDS

One down and plenty to go.

At least, that’s how the team at the Nelson Speedway Association is approaching their summer season, which has already got into gear with the opening night Trackman Trophy meeting. Like everyone else, there’s a cloud of Covid confusion to deal with as alert levels and permissions seem to change almost daily. e Nelson club got a brief scare on the eve of opening night at the Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway when it was reported that there was a maximum gathering size of 100 people in force. It turned out that someone had

got the wrong end of the stick and seven classes swung into action, with Nelson one of the rst tracks to hold a race meeting in the 2021-22 season.

“It’s like we are the guinea pigs for the rest of the country,” said association president Wayne Martin. “ ere was a complete 180 by the Government that allowed us to start on the scheduled night, then it was almost undone just as quickly.”

But Nelson did get their meeting, and it heralded the beginning of a season where there is plenty to entertain race fans locally, around the South Island and, levels permitting,

the rest of the country. A fresh new resource consent document, the product of ve years of hard work and six gures of expenditure, has opened the path for Nelson to host more of the kind of meetings speedway fans will travel for, boosting the sport here and pumping up the local economy.

Covid isn’t done with us yet, far from it, but Martin’s approach is to crack on with the calendar and get in as much racing as possible within the laws of the land. at is likely to have an immediate impact on Saturday with the annual CocaCola reworks display, which

e future is bright with plenty of kids racing in our youth classes.

FIREWORKS & RACING FOR THE KIDS

runs alongside the Racing for the Kids Child Cancer Foundation fundraiser. e reworks show draws a big crowd but social distancing rules under level 2 will limit the number of patrons in the gates. Martin says the club is calculating how many people the venue can legally hold – and it won’t be the usual full house.

“We don’t make the laws, but we will live by them,” he said. “As a club, we aren’t in the business of disappointing families, but things will look di erent unless we can see a shi down the levels.” Nelson has been fortunate this season to attract four South Island title meetings, in four of the most popular classes; streetstocks, stockcars, superstocks and super saloons. A couple of those classes will start the season slowly, thanks to shipping delays slowing builds and rebuilds, but it should be all on in the new year.

Following reworks on October 30, it’s the War of the Wings

for the sprintcars up next on November 13. e 900 horsepower open wheelers should have a full eld and, as they don’t race in Nelson o en, have their own hard-core fans. One of the changes brought on by the new resource consent is the ability to race on consecutive weekends, so November 20 features the Stockcar Summer Slam. A new meeting for the Nelson club, the Summer Slam is a best pairs event with one car from each team scoring points while the other is free to seek and destroy. ere’s already interest from North Island drivers in what should turn into an annual xture.

at leads into the PTS Superstock Stampede, this year over two nights which will help draw travellers from up north. e meeting has had two false starts (rain and lockdown) and then made its debut last year as a one-night show. Visiting drivers loved the track and the hospitality -- the chance to race

two nights should see the eld blossom. ose two nights are December 10-11. en it’s full speed ahead into 2022, kicking o with the South Island super saloon title on January 8, the rst of the four southern championships in ve meetings, the others being the stockcars (January 22), streetstocks (February 12) and the superstocks on March 5. Squeezed in the middle is the popular 30-lap streetcar race which gives fans from the stands the chance to prepare a low budget race car to get a taste of clay. If it survives the 30-lapper, the same car can be used in a demolition derby set down for March 26, running alongside cars from the other end of the speedway spectrum, the Sunshine Classic for the sprintcars. Before then, the club will host the Rees Tour – the travelling superstock/stockcar/historic stockcar road show on March 19. Nelson missed the tour on the only other occasion it came

Streetstocks are always up for a bit of entertainment.

“I met up with Pete [Rees] at his place at the teams’ champs and made sure we were on board this time,” Martin said.

“It’s two weeks across a bunch of tracks with a lot of cars and supporters travelling, it should be a huge night for us.” en, as mentioned, it’s the sprintcars in late March before the club wraps it up and puts a muddy bow on it with two days of ac-

tion in their Easter Extravaganza on Saturday and Sunday, April 16-17. Like the Stampede, the chance to run two days in a row should help attract travellers – but bring a blanket and a thermos, mid-April is when the racing is hot, but the temperatures have cooled. It’s a strong season, one the Nelson club has earned a er ve years of ghting for survival, but Martin isn’t counting his Easter eggs just

yet.”

We know we are fortunate to be underway, but we also know how fast things can change. e plan is to get as much highquality racing in as we can and hope the rules fall our way.”

Making your life easier

A number of you will already know Andrew Claringbold and Anthea Garmey, they have personality plus along with a wonderful sense of humour. This dynamic couple have recently taken on a trusted, well established local business, Bingo Skip Hire, and are here to help make your life easier.

Andrew is a qualified automotive engineer, having most recently worked for Drummond and Etheridge, the local John Deere agent, where he was based as a mobile service technician across the top of the south for the last eight years.

Anthea has been, and still is a teacher of Science, Biology and Agricultural and Horticultural Science at Motueka High School since moving to Motueka from Wanaka 22 years ago.

A few months ago they were offered the opportunity to purchase Bingo Skip Hire. Having previously owned a property maintenance business, they knew what it takes to run a local business and leapt at this new opportunity.

Full of enthusiasm for their new venture, Andrew and Anthea are thoroughly enjoying their new roles as owner operators of Bingo Skip Hire.

A brief history of the skip

The humble skip has an interesting history and was originally called a ‘a skep’. A skep was initially the name for a straw beehive - The meaning of the word ‘skep’ meant ‘basket’ and comes from the Late Old English word ‘sceppe’, or from Old Norse ‘skeppa’, which also meant ‘basket’.

The term skep was adopted in cotton mills and coal mines in relation to the large containers used in both industries and over the years, skep morphed into skip in the coal mines.

In the 1920s, skip-like lorries appeared on UK streets to collect household and business waste - Developments in the USA in the 1930s and 1940s saw the invention of similar vehicles with the same type of hydraulic lifting arms we recognise today. The 1960s saw the widespread introduction of the business and domestic skip hire industry we’re all familiar with.

Andrew Claringbold and Anthea Garmey new owners of Bingo Skip Hire

How does skip hire work?

Choosing the right skip for your individual purpose can be confusing, Andrew and Anthea will listen to your needs and requirements then match you with the perfect skip for your location as well as your situation.

How often have you looked around the house and come to the decision it is time for a clean-up?

Weka Peckers Recycling 1st Birthday Celebrations!

Sustainable recycling

Recycling is one of the easier climate-friendly acts individuals can undertake, it reduces the extraction of virgin materials and is good for the environment.

We can feel good in the knowledge we are using preloved and unwanted products and converting them into useful products. By doing so we are saving resources, sending less trash to the landfills and helping in reducing air and water pollution.

With each passing day, the population is increasing and with it so is the quantity of waste produced. The more waste production, the more space is required and, the space available on earth for landfill is finite.

Most of us will agree that recycling remains one of the most important ways to decrease waste and recover valuable materials, alongside reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving significant amounts of energy and water.

Merv and Ricarda are passionate about sustainable recycling by taking unwanted items someone else can utilize or to recover its resources were possible.

How often have you required a part to complete a project or repair an item, maybe just one bolt is needed, then go to the hardware store to find one cannot purchase a single item, but rather has to purchase a whole packet. Or for example, you have an item that needs repairing, but the part is unavailable, so you end up throwing the item away and buying a new one. It’s both frustrating and unsustainable.

Ricarda and Merv with their baby daughter Deanndra

Merv and Ricarda are here to help, you could well find the parts you require at Weka Peckers Recycling and rest assured, you can buy singular items rather than the whole packet. This is sustainable recycling in the modern sense and it’s cheaper on the pocket as well as environmentally friendly.

Celebrations are in store

During Saturday 30th – Sunday 31st October, Merv and Ricarda and the rest of their team are hosting a sausage sizzle at Weka Peckers Recycling to celebrate their first year in business as well as a colouring in competition and treasure hunt for the kids.

As part of the celebrations they will also be raising funds for the Motueka Community Pool. Merv and Ricarda have teamed up with Marlene from Pete’s Natural Lemonade. Purchase Pete’s Natural beverages at Weka Peckers Recycling and for every bottle sold, Merv and Ricarda will donate a proportion to the Motueka Community Pool fund. Marlene has also agreed to match the funds raised by Merv and Ricarda, dollar for dollar. That’s fantastic news and will help tremendously with the fund raising efforts for a local community swimming pool.

Builders, we want to take away your waste

Did you know that Construction and demolition waste makes up 40–50% of New Zealand’s total waste going to landfill? Each home constructed generates an average of four tonnes of waste. An Auckland study found that construction waste by weight is made up of timber (20%), plasterboard (13%), packaging (5%), metal (5%) and other (45%).

Most of this dumping of construction waste is unnecessary – it has been demonstrated that simply by sorting

waste, at least half of it could be diverted from landfills and cleanfills. Large volumes of waste also increase the costs of a project and its environmental impact.

Merv and Ricarda are reaching out to our local builders and suggesting they bring their unwanted windows, doors, kitchens and vanities to Weka Peckers Recycling to be sorted and reused instead. The couple are already working with a number of builders in our area, however the more waste they can help divert from landfill the better. With an added bonus of being able to supply unwanted construction materials for locals to purchase.

Such environmental sustainability can make a business more efficient and less costly to run. Environmentally sustainable businesses also tend to achieve a better bottom line, all while protecting New Zealand’s natural environment for future generations. If you want to make your business more sustainable, cutting waste is a good place to start, Merv and Riccarda want to help you take that step. This passionate couple are dedicated to modern sustainability and look to recover everything they can from your unwanted items.

From bikes to bolts, backpacks to books, Weka Peckers is the perfect place to drop off unwanted goods and hunt for treasure

Come and visit Merv, Ricarda and their team this weekend to celebrate their first year in business. You’ll find Weka Peckers Recycling located at 97 Robinson Rd, stop and see them on your way to the tip and see what they can take off your hands, they are open Tuesday – Sunday 9am – 4pm. Don’t forget to check out their social media https://www.facebook.com/ WekaPeckers/

Congratulations Weka Pekers Recycling. Proud to surface your newdriveway and carpark area.

Merv helps regualr customer David sort through a variety of goods at the drop off zone.

NOTE: PLEASE IF YOU FINISH YOUR GAME ON THE LAST ROUND DOWN AT THE CEMETRY FIELDS IT WOULD BE MUCHLY APPRECIATED IF YOU COULD COLLECT THE CONES AND RETURN THEM BACK OVER TO THE BOARD. IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER FOR THE PERSON WHO IS PACKING EVERYTHING UP INTO THEIR CAR IF ALL THE CONES ARE BOUGHT BACK. THANK YOU ����

Sea swimmers ready to dive into the season

From building mental fortitude, supercharging metabolism, boosting immunity and increasing your allimportant swimming skills, the benefits of sea swimming are wide-ranging.

So, once again the Kaiteriteri Sea Swimming group is encouraging anyone interested to join them for another season of weekly evening swims from Little Kaiteriteri Beach.

Held on Monday evenings, the group enters the water around 6pm, with often short and long course options.

To take part you must have a reasonable standard of fitness and swimming ability and be able to be responsible for your own safety, though no prior experience in sea swimming is necessary.

It was six years ago when Nettie Stow, Andrea Livingston and Maria Voigt established the group and last season they attracted around 30 members.

“It’s great being part of a group, it’s such a good motivator,” says Nettie.

With 13-70 yearolds taking part from diverse backgrounds

and around a 50/50 ratio of gender, the group is normally out of the water by 7-7.30pm.

Wetsuits are advisable but not compulsory while white swimming caps for visibility are vital and the group sells these for $5 each. Goggles and a swim buoy are also necessary, these can be purchased either online or from Nelson. Swimming through to the end of daylight savings, Nettie says they enjoy a couple of social occasions as well.

“You go in and however stressed you are it all gets washed away, you come out and it’s all been reset. There’s such a great freedom of movement, and I love how amazing the space is, you look down and just see how beautiful it is, especially at Kaiteriteri the beauty is amazing.”

There is no charge to join the group, for any queries please visit Kaiteriteri Sea Swim on Facebook or email nettiestow@ gmail.com
