Housing boom for Waimea Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

More than 2000 homes will be built in Tasman in the coming years with multiple projects progressing to their next stages.

Tasman District Council has approved plans for up to 2000 new houses in an area which will become known as Richmond South. A separate project in Wakefield is also one step closer to Government funding for 321 new homes after making it through the first

round of applications in the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund (IAF) process. The Richmond South project covers the current southern boundary of Richmond, at Bateup Rd, southwards to between White Road and Ranzau Rd, and

into the foothills of the Barnicoat Range. Tasman District Council planner Jeremy Butler is leading the project and says with the continuing high growth rates in the area, the council has a responsibility to look ahead.

“Even with greater intensification within existing residential areas, we will not have enough dwellings to house everyone who wants to live here.” Richmond is Tasman’s fastest

Isla Fifield and Taya Jolly joined hundreds of trick or treaters at Willow Bank ‘Haunted’ Village last weekend for some spooky fun. From scary houses to wandering street performers and a bed of nails, the event didn’t disappoint. Organiser Julian eggers said this year was one of the best and with the addition of live music and food carts, the night had a real family-friendly vibe. “Thank you to all those who came out and supported our event. We hope your kids enjoyed the characters, lollies and entertainment.” Photo: Jo Kent.

Thousands of new homes for Waimea FROM PAGE 1 growing settlement, and the region is experiencing very high rates of urban growth and housing shortages. The year ending May 2021, saw a record 633 building consents issued for new dwellings. The Wakefield project, alongside others in Tākaka and Motueka, have all been chosen to go through to the next phase of IAF funding. The IAF is a $1 billion government fund managed by Kāinga Ora, which supports new or improved infrastructure to speed up housing developments over a five-year period. Tasman Mayor Tim King says he’s pleased these areas got through to the next phase and says it validates the strong relationship between the developers and the council.

“The IAF is the funding catalyst enabling us to bring forward a number of developments to benefit the areas within our district hardest hit by the housing situation.” He says that while the process is far from over, being invited to submit further proposals for the three projects is progress. “The next stage will be investigating all infrastructure demands, the comparative investment by landowners, links to transport and engagement with iwi. We have until Thursday 16 December to gather the extra information.” Homes for Wakefield committee member, Tony Aldridge, says it’s a step in the right direction for the community. “We’ve already seen drafts of the proposed lots which will become available. What stood out for us was the amount of smaller dwell-

According to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), the median house price in Tasman was a record $850,000 in May 2021, an increase of 21 per cent since May 2020. The demand for new housing is also creating a tension with the ongoing loss of productive land.

Tim says packing 2000 homes into a relatively small area at Richmond South is the best decision for the area. “We have to fulfil certain requirements to meet housing demand, so it’s a trade-off between intensification or losing more green space. If we spread out those 2000 homes, we’d need build on to even more greenfield land to do so.” Richmond South was previously indicated as a potential urban growth area through the NelsonTasman Future Development Strategy 2019. The area is likely to appeal to families due to proximity to schools and work opportunities. Jeremy says that any affected landowners will receive an invitation this week to be part of this structure plan project. “We will also run open sessions with the wider interested public.”

Decision on Ranzau School moving by the end of the year Parents of Ranzau School were told a move to a new location in the Richmond West subdivision will give their kids access to better facilities, more opportunities and teachers with more professional development at a meeting last Wednesday night. But some parents said they felt they were being “sold to” and the disadvantages of moving were not addressed. The Ministry of Education has asked the school’s Board of Trustees if it would like to move Ranzau to a new purpose-built school catering for up to 300 students in the new Richmond West development. The board is engaging with parents and seeking feedback before passing a recommendation to the ministry before the end of the year. If the school did move, it would be unlikely that it would be built before the 2025 school year. If it decided not to move, a school in Richmond West would be built anyway, says the ministry. Currently Ranzau School has 150 pupils, only one third of those are from within the school’s zone. The rest come from Brightwater, Richmond, Appleby and even further afield. With 1200 homes expected

Other concerns from parents included losing the 173-year history of the school, it’s rural setting which is an attraction for parents, that its classrooms were all recently refurbished and its connection with the neighbouring church. Roger Hornblow, the former founding principal of Pegasus Bay School, which was created when Waikuku School moved there in 2014, spoke to parents about the benefits of the new school, including mod-

ern playgrounds, improved IT, music, science and sporting facilities. “We went from the outhouse to the penthouse,” he said. He said the students thrived in the new facilities and achieved at a higher level. A member of the Board of Trustees read out some examples of schools that had moved, mainly in Christchurch, all said it was a positive experience. Only one hadn’t and had seen a drop in its roll. A survey by the Board of Trustees is open until November 2 and the board says it will communicate its decision with the community before the end of term 4.

Students spearhead Saxton safety Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Two Waimea college students are campaigning to make the Saxton Recreation Reserve a safer space for the public. After learning about a horrifying attack on a woman in June, students Karishma Patel and Cassidy de Clercq set about launching a public survey to learn more about safety issues at Saxton Field. On Thursday, 24 June, at about 9pm, a man attacked a woman while she was walking through the Saxton Recreation Reserve. The man dragged the victim 13 metres on her back across bark and into shrubs while she was trying to walk to Champion Rd. Police reported the incident as an assault with intent to rape. The woman managed to get away but the pepetrator has still not been found. The incident made Karishma and Cassidy nervous to train at the recreation reserve. “I spend four nights a week at Saxton’s for netball and volleyball so it’s pretty scary to come to practise and stuff with that having happened,” Cassidy says. Since news of the assault, Cassidy

Karishma is at Saxton at least twice a week with her hockey team. “For it to happen so close in our community, it has left us quite fearful,” Karishma says. “Most of our practices are after school at night-time, so we want to all be and feel safe.” The girls say their sports teams have been told to keep together

when entering and leaving the grounds and to stay with teammates if they are waiting to be picked up. The pair have launched a safety survey to see how other users are experiencing the area and whether more lighting across the site would make for a safer experience. The work fits in with their Year 12 health assessement at school. “We did the survey to see if people thought the same as us and,

from our survey so far, we can see that there are similar views on lighting and safety,” Karishma says. The pair have received encouraging support from Sport Tasman, which shared their survey on their Facebook page. “We’re also concerned with safety around the field and we’d like to think that everybody who uses Saxton Field can do so safely,” Sport Tasman general manager

Tony Thomas says. He says responsibility for field upgrades falls with the Saxton Field recreation committee. Committee member and Nelson deputy mayor Judene Edgar says the committee is eager to hear the survey results. “We really do appreciate this work that they are doing. This is just another way to help inform us on our priorities.” She says in her 14 years on the committee, she has not been aware of an assault of this nature happening in the area before. “That doesn’t mean to say we take it lightly, health and safety always needs to be a key priority,” Judene says. “We want people to feel welcome. We don’t want people avoiding the facilities because there is a perception of it not being safe.” Cassidy and Karishma’s survey will close in two weeks’ time, and they hope to hear from as many respondents as possible. “We’ve had 20 respondents so far which is a lot of people, but we’re hoping to get at least 50 respondents to support what we’re doing,” Cassidy says. The survey can be found on Sport Tasman’s Facebook page or www. surveymonkey.com/r/5QFH9FX

Local students miss out on university beds Jenny Nicholson

Local students are being forced into thinking about alternative university accommodation as providers deal with more demand than beds available in halls of residence. Some students who have been planning to study at Otago University have not yet been offered a position due to the shortage. “Currently we have more applications for residential college accommodation than space available,” Otago’s director of campus and collegiate life services James Lindsay says. Jenny Bates says her son, Nelson College student Stanley, missed out on the first round of halls selection so they are feeling a bit of uncertainty. “It’s been an exhausting process, we are hoping for the best, but a lot of really good students missed out,” Jenny says. Stanley has a scholarship to attend Canterbury University next year and Jenny says worst-case scenario they will have to search for a flat. “They said we can apply for an

He says they are continuing to do that for students looking for accommodation in 2022. Waimea College careers head of department Dan Crossley says he has heard that the universities will help students find flatting accommodation, but it isn’t quite the same thing as being in a residential college. “Particularly for parents of a first student going away, it’s nice to drop them off at a residential college and know they will be taken care of,” Dan says. “Dropping them off at a Dunedin flat might be harder for a parent.” A University of Canterbury spokesperson says they have sufficient capacity for all students who choose to accept the accommodation they are offered. However, many students have not been placed in their first choice of accommodation. Garin College careers advisor Brenda Helliwell says one of their top students didn’t get a place in her first choice of hall and has heard there were 1200 applications for just 300 beds. She says there are also students who are currently waitlisted.

NEWS Covid update: The news of a positive Covid-19 case in Blenheim has spurred locals to get their jab. On Saturday an unvaccinated man tested positive in Blenheim for Covid-19. He was isolating and his close contacts have returned negative tests. As of October 23, the Top of the South region had 85 per cent of the population with a first dose of the vaccine and 73 per cent with two doses. However, Nelson Tasman had a lower rate with only 82 per cent of the eligible population fully vaccinated. Prime Minsiter Jacinda Ardern has set a goal for DHBs to get to a 90 per cent vaccination rate before moving into a new Covid-19 management system with more freedoms. Nelson Bays Primary Health figures on Saturday reproted more

than 600 vaccinations administered since Saturday 10am, with 309 of those receiving their first dose. Owen River Lodge wins again: Owen River Lodge has won New Zealand’s leading lodge in the World Travel Awards. Owner Felix Borenstein says it was a thrill to win. Two weeks ago, they also won the Australia and South Pacific category of the Condé Nast Traveller’s 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards. Felix says the awards help at a tough time. “The Government told us to pivot to New Zealanders, and now 75 per cent of the bookings are locked down,” he says. Trampers rescued after hours in cold: A couple were rescued from Mt Robert on Saturday

evening after spending hours stuck in the cold. Police received a call from the couple tramping into Angelus Hut at around 8:30pm, after they failed to make it to the hut and found themselves on a snowy ridge in the darkness. Sergeant Steve Savage says the pair were approximately 700 metres from the hut, but were unable to continue due to them having insufficient gear in an alpine environment. The couple were rescued around midnight by the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter after they were fortunate enough to be able to find an area with cellphone coverage and Police were able to pinpoint their location. Steve says both were feeling the cold, but otherwise in good health.

Brightwater business on track for success in Australia Jo Kent Reporter

Big business win for students’ jam idea

Jenny Nicholson A student enterprise which repurposes damaged fruit into jam has earned a top regional business award. Waimea College student Nicole Bryman said she was still in disbelief a day after her group won the regional final of the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES). Nicole, along with teamates Sam McDonald, Sophie Calder and Jared Peterson

formed Three Bays Jellies, taking damaged fruit and making it into delicious jam. On Wednesday 20 October they pitched their concept to judges at the Beachside Conference Centre, and were awarded the Innovation Award. Things got even more exciting for the team when they were announced as the Regional YES winners. “We were very, very shocked,” Sophie says. “We didn’t think our pitch

was very good.” But they had confidence in their product and they are determined to work on their presentation before The Lion Foundation YES national awards in December, which will be held online this year. The group won scholarships to Massey and NMIT totalling $5,000 for their efforts. This is the second year running that students from Waimea College have taken out the regional award.

Tasman Bay Food Co began turning local apples into food and drink products more than 30 years ago and now they are on the cusp of cracking Australia. With 10 million Juicies selling in New Zealand each year, the company is expanding again with their frozen treat launching in Woolworths Australia this week. Managing director Marina Hirst Tristram says that while Juicies have been available in Australian school canteens for 15 years, Aussie families have not been able to buy the ice block in shops. “Woolworths will roll out our tropical flavour in 900 stores this week, and we hope our wildberry and lemonade flavours will follow in time.” The massive decision to branch out into Australian stores comes after a recent investment into automating the packing side of the Brightwater business. “It’s been a long time coming as we had to get all our ducks in a row in terms of promotion, pricing and distribution. “But we have recently invested in three massive machines with robotic arms, which basically pack our Juicies into

boxes and seal them for us.” She says the machines have helped increase production to cope with heavy demand, particularly over the coming summer months. “With the new technology, we can run the production line for longer as it only needs three people on the line instead of seven. Things go much faster and it’s a lot easier on everyone.” Marina says that there is still risk with such a bold move across the ditch, but all businesses have an element of risk attached to them. “We freeze all the Juicies here in Brightwater and fill them into frozen containers to ship them. “Unfortunately, last week, we had one of our containers on the ship melt, so we lost 128,000 Juicies.” She says that, due to various lockdowns in Australia and Covid-19 travel restrictions, the logistics side of things were a bit trickier to set up. “It’s not been easy. We have just been doing it all from our home offices and our desks.” She says just being in Woolworths is a significant investment for the company. “We have to spend a lot with Woollies on their instore marketing but, hopefully, if we get through this summer - and Aussies like Juicies - we will be able to continue on and it will be good for us.”

Locals are being asked to help keep our region tidy as part of Clean Up Week 2021. Sixteen-year-old environmentalist Sophie Weenink usually hosts large scale beach clean events, but, due to Covid-19 has had to postpone the one she had scheduled for this weekend. “I usually get over 250 people turning up to my beach cleans, so I was worried about breaking Level 2 protocols and called it off.” However, she says that doesn’t mean people can’t organise their own individual clean-ups around the region. “All you need is a rubbish bag, gloves and a willingness to make a change.” She says the most common finds on a clean-up are takeaway packaging, straws, disposable coffee cups, cigarette butts and abandoned plastic bags of dog poop. “It’s so upsetting to see the way people treat our beautiful planet.” She says that Clean Up Week, which runs from 25-31 October, is a good way to educate children on the importance of reducing their waste and recycling their rubbish. “I’ve had emails from parents whose children have been inspired to make a change, and they then go on

Student’s find it personal Just a thought... raising money for charity Zane Elliott

Reporter

We live in a changing world. Our lives are often crowded out by soundbites, Facebook stories, and Insta feeds, which are all disappearing moments. Is this increasing change the reason for the rise in mindfulness, centering activities (like colouring books for adults), meditation and the increased promotion of tranquil stay-cations? These are all ways we seek calm in the midst of life’s storms. In a world of increasing uncertainty; where we prepare to live with Covid-19 in our communities, simple spiritual practices will help us ground ourselves with much more than a passing peace. Jesus offers peace, as we come face to face with the reality that the Creator of all cares for us. One of his closest mates, Peter, said ‘Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.’ In the Church we call that prayer. So, why not pray and bring your fears to God? Maybe it’s something you’ve never done before, or not for a very long time. Ask God for His peace in a time of trouble. The answer might surprise you.

For Juliet Thompson, the opportunity to raise money for the Cancer Society was personal. Juliet’s grandmother died of lung cancer about the time of the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020. “It was hard. Dad flew to England where she lived and only got back into New Zealand about 12 hours before the borders closed,” Juliet says. The student action group at Waimea Intermediate School planned to raise money for good causes and, for many of the students, the Cancer Society was an easy choice of recipient. “It’s such a relatable thing as most people have family or a friend that has gone through cancer,” says student William Donald. The group of about 40 students got creative to work around challenges they faced in raising money for the char-

When lockdown stopped them collecting on Daffodil Day, they went online and raised money. After returning to school, they planned fun games to raise more. However, it rained and plans had to change.

“This group is amazing because they can think on their feet,” teacher Hannah Bibby says. “They changed some of their ideas on the day.” They ran games in the school hall, and sold baking that students from throughout the

school had contributed. The donations were so much that it took the students an hour to count the money at the end of the day. “They were blown away when they found they had raised $1600,” Hannah says.

The woman with four names

Ruth Russ

‘Mary Eyles, formerly Higgins, formerly Gill nee Slade’ is the title of a chapter in the Higgins family history. This woman, with a mouthful of a name, cannot even have her baptism date confirmed. She was born around 1786 in the Baltonsborough area in Somerset. At about 23 she married a widower named Henry Gill, whose young wife and child had died a year earlier. Henry and Mary had a large family together in Somerset. Mary was pregnant with their 10th when Henry died in 1821. Four years later, the widowed 40-year-old Mary developed a relationship with a 21-year-old labourer named Peter Higgins. Their son, Sydney, was born in August 1826, and four months later, on the day he was baptised, Peter and Mary married. Peter and Mary had two further

Photo: Supplied. daughters and, in around 1837, they adopted a young girl named Selina, who was actually Mary’s granddaughter from one of her daughters from her previous marriage. Peter and Mary decided in 1841 to emigrate to New Zealand. They travelled with four of Mary’s children from her previous marriage, arriving in February 1842.

The family made the trek across the Port Hills and down Washington Valley, beating their way through the fern, flax and toetoe to the New Zealand Company’s depot on the current site of the Christ Church Cathedral. The road from the port into Nelson had been started but not completed. They made huts from mānuka, flax and toetoe, and

their beds from fern. The family lived in town at Cambria Street until around 1845 when they moved to a section in Waimea South. The land consisted of half fern and half wood. According to the census, they grew two and half acres of wheat, a quarter acre of barley, and one acre of potatoes. They had sheep, cattle and hors-

es, as well as nine pigs, four goats and thirteen fowl. Out here, the family and many others had trouble with trespassing stock. Peter and several others wrote to the Nelson Examiner complaining of the “great injury which, at the present time, is being done by a drove of horses which have been running together in this part of the country for months past”. At the age of 42, while out working in his garden, Peter was struck on the nose by a tree branch the wind snapped off. “The bone of the nose was driven in”, reported the Examiner, and Peter died several days later, leaving Mary a widow once more. Three months later, the 62-yearold married her third husband: Daniel Eyles. She died 20 years later of paralysis (which in those days was often used as a polite term for syphilis), and is buried with Daniel in the Richmond Cemetery.

Haven Motors is a well-established Nelson business with a long history, moving into the 21st century with enthusiasm and energy, as well as embracing the new technology that comes with today’s cars. An expansive additional new service centre, not far from the showroom has been established to provide plenty of space for the wide range of vehicle servicing facilities they offer. Owner Mike Smith points out that they are able to service any brands but specialise in Mazda, BMW, Volkswagen, Skoda and now Audi. He and his staff are delighted that the new space includes three new hoists,

vast workshop facilities and, with its high ceilings, allows them to service campervans as well. Long gone are the days when car sales businesses were the realm of men and Haven Motors has eight women on the staff. With a high degree of knowledge about vehicles they are also the warm and friendly faces of the showroom and parts department. The former is expansive and bright, with comfortable spaces for clients to sit and discuss purchases of both new and second hand vehicles, or to just gather information. Long gone too are the hard-sell salespeople that car yards used to have a reputation for. Haven

Motors is a relaxed, easy going place that is much more about helping people feel at home and where their needs are listened to carefully. Sales and finance manager Struan Robinson has been with Haven Motors for eight years. He had worked in banking and finance for a number of years before the opportunity came along for a complete change. Having grown up with a father who loved vintage cars, he became a car enthusiast while very young. “It is my passion and my job,” he says. “What could be better than that? I get to meet a wide range of fantastic people, many of whom re-

we aim to provide the same high quality of customer service across the board,” says Struan. “Keeping vehicles serviced regularly is so important and we often pick them up from people’s homes for them. It is all part of the ongoing relationship.” As well as providing private vehicles to customers with a range of needs in Nelson and further

formance award, and in March this year a VW Regional Service Department Award. “It’s the people who make a difference,” he says. “We are excited to have the new service area as we have been at capacity on this site for some time.” In the current climate, the biggest problem the company faces is a genuine shortage of new vehicles. “Covid has really upset the transportation systems around the world, closed vehicle factories, as well there is the ongoing semi-conductor shortage,” Mike continues. “There are some models we can supply, but with limited stock arriving in the country, many customers are

having to order their favourite models in advance. This could go on well into 2022.” Service manager Olly McPherson epitomises the phrase “service with a smile”. Like Struan, he thoroughly enjoys meeting the wide range of customers that come through the doors. “I also love the new technologies like lane assist, cruise control and blind spot monitoring,” he says. These are the integrated systems on new cars that “pretty much allow them to drive them themselves,” he says. All the new vehicles Haven Motors sells have to have the 5 star safety rating. “Every day is different,” he says,

“and every new development exciting.” Technicians now spend a great deal of time in ongoing training to keep up with the new developments. “We’ve got fantastic technology here to scan and diagnose vehicles for problems, and can repair them so much more quickly than in the past,” he says. “Essentially, our teams in the workshops are not mechanics but rather, technicians. This year we also received an `Apprentice of the Year' award from MTA.” Despite the popularity of new vehicles, Haven Motors sells many second-hand ones. “It doesn’t matter whether a customer wants a new vehicle or a late model one,

afield, Haven Motors looks after many business and emergency vehicles. “The constant variety contributes to our enjoyment of this business”, says Mike. “We have plenty of staff on hand to assist service and parts customers. If you are considering purchasing a vehicle, call and arrange a test drive/appointment with Dan or Struan,” he says.

Priority lanes preferred plan Sara Hollyman Editor

ahead with plans to add priority lanes to Tāhunanui Dr and Waimea Rd along with a slew of traffic lights through Nelson’s main traffic corridors. Nelson City Council is being asked to endorse Waka Kotahi’s NZ Transport Agency’s preferred Nelson Future Access programme at a full council meeting on Thursday and. If they don’t it will likely mean no new investment from the agency into the city’s transport network. The programme is designed to roll out over 30 years and aims to increase the availability of attractive walking and cycling paths as well as public transport options close to planned dense housing developments. If endorsed, the business case will be put before the Waka Kotahi Board on 16 December for it to consider and approve the final business case. That would then allow works to begin in 2022, subject to funding approval. Near term proposed Projects to be progressed over the next three years would include the installation of traffic lights at the Parkers Rd / Tāhunanui Dr intersection,

Waimea Rd / Franklyn St intersection and the Motueka/ Tipahi St intersection. Traffic lights at Waimea Rd / Franklyn St will progress, even without council endorsement of the business case, as it is part of the Government’s ‘Road to Zero’ safety improvements for walking and cycling. The programme also includes additional cycling facilities on Washington Rd and a cycling link between Railway Reserve and Waimea Rd. However, there has not yet been funding assigned from the National Land Transport Plan for these projects. A new section of cycle path between the Motueka/Tipahi St and Hampden St/Waimea

Rd intersections, including lights at the Motueka/Tipahi St intersection, would connect to a cycle route developed as part of council’s Innovating Streets trial. This would also combine to form the Victory to Waimea cycle route. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says council endorsement of the business case is essential for the programme to move forward and progress to be made. “Council is encouraging the community to transition to more sustainable modes - choosing active and public transport more often for their journeys. To make progress in our region, investment and support will be

required from Waka Kotahi for a variety of projects and programmes that support a move toward a more sustainable transport system. She says the preferred programme offers a “real opportunity to make our waterfront more people focussed with a wide boulevard for walking and cycling proposed for Rocks Road”. The reinstatement of the southbound clearway at the intersection of Bisley Ave and Rocks Rd within the next three years is also on the list to improve afternoon peak period traffic. The lane would be a parking lane outside of these hours. The southbound clearway was first instigated in 2007 but, by 2013, it was removed and turned into permanent parking after safety concerns were raised. The business case recommends that this merge lane be made permanent following a safety review and “considerable concern” about safety from the community. A speed review of Rocks Rd has been recommended and the programme would see a 5m wide walking and cycling facility on Rocks Rd/SH6.

Habitat for Humanity Nelson celebrates 25 years This November, Habitat for Humanity Nelson is celebrating 25 years of existence, so the charitable organisation is planning an eventful month to mark this amazing milestone. On November 1st, birthday events include free birthday cake with purchases at Nelson ReStore and a 25 percent discount at Motueka ReStore. Both Restores will be holding fundraising raffles throughout the month, with heaps of great prizes. The profits will go towards building a children’s play area at the Habitat Hub, and monies raised from the Motueka raffle will go towards the new Motueka van. On Friday, 19 November, The Buzz Fashion Show will showcase ReStore’s great range of fashion. Watch out for other events happening at The Habitat Hub.

The houses that Julian built In the 1970s, Millard and Linda

Fuller (USA), started an organization called Habitat for Humanity. By 9 February, 1988, HFH had built over 70,000 homes in over 1700 locations in 58 countries. In 1996, Julian Shields started a new affiliate in Nelson. Now, in 2021, Habitat for Humanity is celebrating 25 years of helping families in the Nelson Bays region. HFH is most well-known for its Progressive Home Ownership Programme (PHO). This rent-tobuy process focuses on partnership with families. It is designed for low- income whanau who otherwise would not be able to achieve home ownership.

Local builds The first HFH house in Nelson was located on St Anne Place. Thirteen families applied. Tradies gave their precious time and expertise. The house dedication was held in December 1998, and that tradition of gathering for a bless-

In 2002, the second house was completed in nine days by Nelson volunteers and American Global Village volunteers, becoming the 105th house in New

Zealand. In 2003, volunteers built the third Nelson home, in which triboard wall and ceiling panels were introduced as a time and space180saver. 50 That year, St Lawrence Street Advanced Electrical

became the address for house number four, with ‘floor abiding’ police officers helping to lay the floor. Between 2004 and 2019, a further 16 homes were built on Wolfe Street, St Lawrence Street, Carleton Street and two in Motueka, with the help of volunteers, local churches and police, and for house number 8, the NZ Army volunteered their assistance. Houses twenty-two and twentythree were built on Kawai St, with help from a Canadian team. Even at the age of 78, Julian was still on site. The Nelson affiliate then helped to shift a house to Riwaka (house 24) and renovate it for the next lucky family. This marked the end of an era for the houses that Julian built, and neighbouring houses twentyfive and twenty-six, in Motueka, bring Habitat Nelson up to their 25th year anniversary. That’s a total of 26 houses in 25 years; a record to be proud of for sure. Unfortunately, Julian passed before seeing this milestone. Julian will always be a piece of every house, every home that is built by the Nelson Affiliate. 50

Additional local builds Over the past few years, Nelson Habitat has also built three units for social rentals, as well as purchasing a house used for emergency housing, which is managed by the Salvation Army. The Nelson affiliate partnered with one person to purchase their home through their Affordable Rental Programme. A team of volunteers then renovated the house to make the home wheelchair accessible throughout the house.

Future Local Builds The Nelson Affiliate has plans for 30 new homes over the next few years which starts a new phase of growth. Habitat Nelson has received additional funding support to provide more homes for families through their Progressive Home Ownership Programme. HFH will receive 3.25 million in loan funding on a 15-year, interest-free term, which will enable them to provide a further 12 homes in Richmond and Stoke. Also on site will be two social

rentals. Further development includes 8 more houses planned for Stoke and 5 in Richmond. In addition, NMIT and Habitat Nelson have partnered to create three new houses. These houses would love to have sections to call home. Habitat Nelson is exploring new options to provide housing options. Cabins for Community are currently being built at NMIT – watch this space for a future cabin development launch.

Partner Families Families interested in Habitat for Humanity are required to attend a public meeting, to learn about the criteria and application process. A selection team reviews the applications and conducts interviews before making the final decision. As part of the agreement to partner with HFH families, they must contribute 500 sweat equity hours toward the build of their home. Sweat equity can include numerous options, ranging from working at the build site to volunteer-

Global Village Builds The Habitat for Humanity Global village programme involves teams travelling to another country to build a house. For several years, Nelson welcomed teams from USA, Canada, and Australia to help with our building programmme here. However, this was discontinued in 2017, due to a perception that there are other places in the world where help is needed more. Nelson’s involvement with the HFH Global Village began in 2009, and many local representatives have travelled to South East Asia, Nepal, Cambodia, Shri Lanka and Fiji to build homes for the locals living there. Covid currently has this programme on hold.

ReStore Nelson and Motueka Habitat’s non-profit ReStores accept and resell quality new and gently pre-loved goods. All proceeds help to fund Habitat for Humanity’s local housing programmes and initiatives. ReStore Nelson opened in September 2015 and was originally

located on Quarantine Rd. In addition to accepting and reselling your typical items, ReStore boasted a DIY section that drew an untapped market. The success of the first ReStore motivated the opening of a second ReStore in 2018, in Motueka on the High Street. The shop on Quarantine Road soon outgrew the premises and a bigger, better Restore moved into the old Suburban Club in 2020. ReStore started out with one paid employee and a handful of volunteers, and its tremendous growth has allowed for additional paid staff members. The store is environmentally-focused, with a keen eye for reducing waste in our landfill. One weekend their pop-up shop made $800, and saved 800 items from the local landfill, as customers were able to purchase clothing items for a dollar. A ‘community closet’ was also kindly donated to hold items that are free to the community. There are 18 ReStores across New Zealand, all with their very own flavour and all asking you to shop, donate, volunteer. ReStore Nelson usu-

Shakespeare comes to your garden Kate Russell Standing on her brand-new deck one night, Laura Irish had an idea. The local actor was feeling down about the slew of Covid-caused show cancellations. “I thought, ‘this deck is bigger than most stages, and we’ve got a bunch of talented actors with nothing to do’.” She thought they could perform a raucous version of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in people’s gardens. Thus, ‘The Barden Party’ was born. You can book the cast of eight to come to your backyard and perform their version of the

classic Shakespeare comic fantasy. Laura is hoping to bring a spark of joy in a difficult time. “The arts have taken a massive hit over the last 18 months. Everything has been cancelled. Venues can’t hold enough people to justify putting on a show,” she says. “So people can book us to come to their houses, starting next month.” She says its a great way to provide some joy for your friends and neighbourhood and have already have 15 bookings, including interest from Wellington, Dunedin, and Christchurch.

Laura describes the show as “accessible and understandable Shakespeare”. It’s family-friendly and includes popular tunes from Billie Eilish, The Beatles, and George Michael. “I feel like this is one of the best shows I’ve been in, quality-wise.” Laura says people can choose the price they pay. You can either ask each of your guests to bring $15-$20 to pay the actors at the end, or the host can pay the troupe a flat fee. Or you can do a bit of both. Shows can be booked on any available date on the calendar at www.fa cebook.com/thebardenparty.

A group of young Nelsonians have shared their take on climate change in the new exhibition ‘Through the eye of Whakatū’. The 16 students were selected for a project spearheaded by Track Zero, a charity that uses the power of the arts to deliver climate action on a path to a zero-carbon Roald Sayer economy. The students, aged 10-15, first attended workshops with earth scientists Dr Jamey Stutz and Claudia Moore before being taught camera and photography skills by professional photographers Raymond Sagapolutele and Tatsiana Chypsanava. They were then tasked with taking their own shots, before submitting one photo for the exhibition. Track Zero founder Sarah Meads says it’s all about young people sharing their views and ideas on the climate and its future. “We hope that with every project it is about storytelling to ignite change to tackle the climate crisis.” Roald Sayer, 12, says he learnt a lot from the project, but valued his new-found camera skills most. He chose to take photos at the beach with his final shot of a crab with a wave crashing around it now on display in the exhibition. “I chose the beach because of the sea life; we’ve got to look after it.” The photos will be displayed in the windows of the Nelson Provincial Museum until 31 October.

Make your backyard the place to gather all year round with our range of BBQs, furniture, umbrellas, heating & spas.

runs alongside the Racing for the Kids Child Cancer Foundation fundraiser. The fireworks 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 different unless we can see a shift 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 fireworks on October 30, it’s the War of the Wings

for the sprintcars up next on November 13. The 900 horsepower open wheelers should have a full field and, as they don’t race in Nelson often, 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. There’s already interest from North Island drivers in what should turn into an annual fixture. That leads into the PTS Superstock Stampede, this year over two nights which will help draw travellers from up north. The 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 field blossom. Those two nights are December 10-11. Then it’s full speed ahead into 2022, kicking off with the South Island super saloon title on January 8, the first of the four southern championships in five 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

Sprintcar driver Stephen Taylor from Wellington on the gas. south, two seasons ago. “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.” Then, 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 after five years of fighting 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. The plan is to get as much highquality racing in as we can and hope the rules fall our way.” For more information on dates and gate prices head to our website at http://www.nelsonspeedway.co.nz/ or follow us on the official Nelson Speedway Association Facebook page.

SpOrtS Football: Nelson’s Amelia Abbott made her Football Ferns debut at the weekend against the reigning Olympic champions Canada in Ontario. The midfielder entered the fray after 27 minutes at TD Place Stadium with the score at 1-0 in favour of the hosts. Unfortunately, the Kiwis were no match for the Canadians who went on to net a further four goals for a decisive 5-1 win. The second game of the two-match series kicks off at 12.30pm today in Montreal.

The racing was fast and furious when the South Island Sprint Championships came to Redwood Valley at the weekend. Plenty of locals made it onto the podium over the three days of racing with Ollie Workman taking out the 125cc rotax max junior grade, Tony Dyer claiming gold in Briggs LO206 light and Kevin Barker finishing first on the Briggs LO206 heavy class. Bo Hill, Rob Frans and Daniel Bell also took home medals. A North vs South grass karts race was also a highlight of the meet. Shuttersport was there to capture the action.

Rugby: The Tasman Mako resumes its quest for a three-peat on Friday night as they take on southern rivals Canterbury in Christchurch. While both teams have struggled for consistency this season, Canterbury in particular has looked a shell of the force that has dominated provincial rugby for the past two decades. With four wins from six, Tasman sits in fourth spot on the premiership table with the red and blacks one point back in fifth. Kick off 7.05pm. Golf: The Greenacres Ladies Golf Club were the big winners at the Tasman District Pennants final at Motueka. Finishing on 26 points, the women defeated Awatere (seven), Westport (17) and Motueka (22). The team consisted of Barbara Winstone, Rose O’Connor, Margaret Williams, Denise Elliott, Helen Kain, Annette Nister, Marie Blackmore and Mary Eggers. Nelson Half cancelled: With the news of a positive Covid-19 case in Blenheim, the Nelson Half Festival of Running and Walking has been cancelled for 2021.

Plan now for unexpected outages With a little planning you can be prepared for an unexpected power outage.

Gym opens door for women’s boxing Jonty Dine

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

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 identified 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.

With so few female opponents on offer, local champion boxer Christine Gillespie has decided to train them herself. The 30-year-old is opening her own boxing gym in Richmond after approaching local legend Barry Galbraith to train her. Prior to this, Christine was driving up to four hours every weekend in order to train in Picton. “I love those guys but the drive was a pain in the arse so I went and annoyed Barry. “He said he would coach me if I found somewhere to train.” After a short real estate search, Christine found

her new home at 14 McGlashen Ave in Richmond. “I thought I might as well open for everyone to use,” she says. Christine quickly decked out the space with boxing gear, some of which was donated, while she has also made a significant personal investment to ensure the gym is well set up for success. Adorning the walls are iconic images of legendary figures in the sport: Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Katie Taylor. In a reflection of her own personal journey, Christine has named the gym ‘Hard Knox.’ “We feel like we’ve been knocked down and got up again, so it stuck. There were a lot of weird names we came up with.” She is hoping to run children, women, and mixed classes for people with a range of goals. “I would love to see a little girl grow up and become a boxer, but it’s not all about fighting. If people just want to come and get fit, they can.” Christine jokes that her gym might help with the perpetual issue of finding a match-up. “I need more people to fight, but, not only that, it would be nice to have more women,” she says. “Most events I go to there are one or two female fights and that’s about it.” To coincide with the opening of her gym, Christine is helping raise funds for mental health. With skipping being a huge part of her training, she is set to skip for one minute for every five dollars she receives. As of writing, she had received $500 meaning she was already in for a long day. Christine knows firsthand how beneficial boxing can be for ones physical and mental health. “If you’re having a bad day, come smash the bag and you will feel better.” Just under five years ago, Christine was 30kg heavier, eating poorly and not exercising. Now, she is the New Zealand women’s bantamweight champion, in the top 84 for the Commonwealth Games, and helping shape the next generation of boxers. “I made it further than I ever dreamed of so anything on top of this is just a bonus.”

Stoke spoil centenary celebrations Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Wakatu had its centenary weekend celebrations spoiled by Car Company Stoke/Nayland in a thriller at Saxton Oval today. Stoke scraped home with just one wicket in hand and eight balls to spare. Skipper Dylan Eginton anchored the chase with an unbeaten 90 off just 72 balls to ensure the win and second spot on the Nelson 40over competition table. Wakatu made a solid start to its innings with the competition’s leading run scorer Brad Smith scoring 80 and Campbell McLean falling just short of a half century. Losing just five wickets, Wakatu posted a competitive 190 after 40 overs, Jared Silvester and Sean Neal taking two wickets each. Stoke looked in trouble at 75/5, until Eginton found profitable partnerships with Sean Neal and Matt Deaker. Number eleven Cameron Neame was not required to face a ball as Eginton guided his side home in the 39th over. At Jubilee Park, Joseph O’Connor starred with both bat and ball for Taylors Contracting Wanderers Motueka. The all-rounder top scored with a patient 37 before ripping through the Waimea Toi Toi United order. Wanderers posted what appeared a sub-par 151/9 as Parth Nagpal claimed three wickets for just 20

runs in his eight overs. However, the hosts had no answers for O’Connor as he destroyed Waimea’s hopes of a first win with a blistering spell of 7/26. After a rare failure with the bat, Harsh Visavadiya chipped in with 2/13 as Waimea were all out for just 90. Joseph says the pitch provided plenty of assistance. “It was a bit slow and low, so it suited the way I was bowling.” Despite the career best figures, Joseph was quick to deflect praise for his performance. “Harsh was keeping it tight from the other end and we were backed up by some really good fielding.” It was a low scoring affair at Lower Ngawhatu as Nelson College could muster just 88 from 39.3 overs. Athletic College Old Boys captain Ollie Jones-Allen was again in dominant form as he returned 4/15 with no Nelson player managing to get past 20. The defending champions looked to chase the total down in a hurry, needing just 19 overs to get over the line for the loss of six wickets. Greg Chitty scored a quick fire 32 with four sixes while Will Bixley gave his side something to cheer about with a four-wicket haul. This ensures ACOB keeps its superior net run rate over Stoke with both sides on 12 points with three wins from three.

WAVERLEY STREET WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT We are replacing the water main and some of the connecting pipework along Waverley Street. The existing concrete and copper pipework is old, fragile and prone to breakages, so we’re replacing it with new larger PVC pipes.

WORK BETWEEN BELL STREET AND WENSLEY ROAD BEGINS THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER HOW WILL THIS AFFECT ME?

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

Waverley Street will not be closed, however sections of the road will be reduced to one lane and vehicles will only be able to travel in one direction on Waverley Street (from Gladstone Road towards Wensley Road).

Gladstone Road to Bell Street Work between Gladstone Road and Bell Street is scheduled for completion in early November. Once work is finished, that section of road will reopen to two-way traffic.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact one of our project team. • Jared Daly, Operations Manager, Tasman Civil Ltd, phone 027 864 9999 • Tom Maw, General Manager, Tasman Civil Ltd, phone 027 706 4323

Diversions will be in place throughout the work to direct vehicles approaching from the Wensley Road end of Waverley Street, around the one-way section of road.

Bell Street to Wensley Road Work between Bell Street and Wensley Road will begin in the first week of November and go through to late January 2022.

• Joe Bywater, Project Manager, Tasman District Council, phone 03 543 8400 or email projects@tasman.govt.nz

Areas of the berm and footpath will also be closed off with diversions in place for pedestrians.

We recognise this work may cause inconvenience and we’ll do our best to minimise the impact on residents and road users. We thank you in advance for your patience while we get this important upgrade done.

Safety is our priority: If you need to travel past the work site, we ask that you take extra care, follow directions and observe all signage.
