Upper Queen carparks to be replaced by cycleway MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Plans to remove carparking along another Richmond road have left residents upset and a local business warning it will have a “major effect” on their operations. As part of the Streets for People programme, Tasman District Council plans to replace the carparking with separated cycleways along both sides of upper Queen St between Salisbury Rd and Hill St. Co-owner of Richmond Antiques and Curios, Kevin Hannah says the availability of carparks is a major factor for businesses to consider when establishing themselves. “If you take all those carparks out, then where do our clients park?” he asks. “It will seriously have a major effect on this business to the point where we’ll either look at closing down or relocating.” Co-owner Maria Martin says the council was good at keeping them up-to-date on the plans, but they couldn’t reach a compromise. “They tried to work with us. ‘What would you like to see?’ But every time they came back it was ‘no, we can’t do that’,” she says. “The council needs to look after their businesses and keep them viable and vibrant for Richmond to be an interesting place.”

75 years fitting soles with soul GORDON PREECE The current custodians of a family shoe business say its sturdy fit in the community helped it step towards the 75year milestone. Craig Taylor first joined Taylors Footwear Store Ltd in

Richmond in 1974 as the second generation, after his father Cliff started the business next to their Queen St family home in 1948. Craig says the shop originally offered shoe repairs, but Cliff ’s purchase of a dozen pairs for resale set off the

store’s retail journey. He says the premises grew four times, and from 1966 the store operated in other areas of Richmond before finding the right fit at its current Queen St location in 1977. In reflecting on 75 years of the business, Craig says cus-

tomer loyalty and putting the best business foot forward had helped the store, which has since rebranded to Taylors We Love Shoes, sell thousands of pairs to generations of local families.

Pasifika, Asian and Central and South American cultures will be on display by Multicultural Youth Nelson Tasman at this year’s Mask Carnivale, which dons in central Nelson on 27 October. Coordinator of the group, Ramiesha Perera, says about 15 members were crafting their masks with designs to celebrate their cultural backgrounds. “The kaupapa [principle] is unity and diversity… uniting together to create a good outcome and respecting other cultures,” she says. Ramiesha says members will also match their masks with matching cultural outfits at the event. Avalon Myer (pictured) will celebrate her Jamaican ancestry at the Mask Carnivale.

“We’ve been able to target our market and provide the shoes that we read the market wanted, and that’s resulted in visitors coming to Nelson and saying ‘gosh, I wish we had a shoe shop like this in Auckland, or Wellington or Christchurch’, because it’s got just such a lovely range of shoes. “We see families and we’re now serving their third generation of kids, not in kid’s shoes but adult shoes, and so our shoe club is a significant number which in itself is a sign of the loyalty that we’ve built

over the years.” Craig says the community support had also helped them overcome tight trading times, supply chain shifts from domestic to overseas-made footwear, and being on the backfoot of other shoe retailers which offered lower-cost children’s shoes, and specialised sports shoes and work boots. He says two generations of the Taylor family had followed in his footsteps to have ties working in the family business and his soul-mate, Jan, also joined when Taylors opened its second store in Nelson in 1993. “We saw potential to open a

branch in Nelson and once we were able to identify a good premises we went for it, but the saddest thing is that we opened in March 1993 and [Cliff] died in January 1993, so he never actually saw the opening. “It was always a big wish of his for us to have a store in Nelson. We’ve had people come into the shop and say how they will never forget him, because when things were tough and their families couldn’t afford shoes, my dad used to say to them, ‘We’ll put shoes on your feet, and you can just pay for them when you can’.”

Building industry returning to ‘normal’ ANNE HARDIE The number of building consent applications in Tasman has dropped by nearly a third for the past quarter, compared to the same time last year. In the Tasman District Council’s Building Assurance Update for October, it noted a substantial decrease in building consent applications being submitted, with just 293 applications received in the previous three months. It represents a 32 per cent decrease from the previous year for the same period which was 434 appli-

cations, while the same period in 2021 registered 366 applications. TDC team leader building support Courtenay Lynn says, building consents have been declining for the past six months due to economic pressures including rising building and material costs, high interest rates and lending restrictions. The drop in consents specifically relates to new homes and she says the industry has moved from a significant growth period where subdivisions were pre-sold months in advance, to subdivisions being released with sections still to be sold.

“It isn’t all negative and other building consent work such as commercial and alterations applications continue to be submitted near expected levels. We do expect more certainty as we move into the new year and new dwelling applications to increase from 2024. A benefit of this is there are sections available now to meet demand when it increases.” Nelson Tasman Master Builders Association president Ruben Fry says the building industry is returning to “normal” after a building boom period and expects there will be less pressure

on tradies rather than numerous job losses. “Our tradies can work a 40-hour week again rather than all the overtime. When the hammer is down, the hammer is down, and now it’s just coming back to normal. We will lose some tradies because it was unsustainable.” He says the region’s appeal, especially to retirees with a bit more money to spend, means a reasonable level of building will continue. When it comes to actual new homes consented, Tasman is one of the highest-ranked region. Figures from Stats NZ show that for

the year ended July 2023, Tasman ranked third in the country for the number of dwelling consents per 1,000 residents, behind Canterbury and then Auckland. In Tasman, 10.1 new dwellings were consented per 1,000 residents, compared with 9.6 last year and 10.1 in 2021. In terms of houses being built, Tasman had 547 dwelling consents for the year ended July 2023, compared with 566 the previous year and 588 in 2021. Nationally, the number of new dwellings consented was down 43,487 or 14 per cent, for the year ended July 2023.

Nurture the future you want First year Māori student nurse, Pepe Reading, had her application to enrol at NMIT | Te Pūkenga pending for two years before she hit the send button. She felt the timing to study full-time wasn’t right. “I had been wanting to study for a while but didn’t have a career direction,” Pepe says. “As my kids moved into their teens, I started to think what I wanted for myself in the next phase of my life.” Pepe has focused on homeschooling her two children, whilst working part-time. Now she is leading by example as she embraces the change into studying. “Studying at NMIT has been really good so far—the academic support is really amazing,” she says. “There is this wrap around support in the first year with study groups and assignments which has been really helpful as academic writing is quite different to what I’m used to.” Alongside this, the Māori support available at NMIT has rekindled Pepe’s Māori journey.

“I haven’t really been immersed in Māori culture since I was at school,” Pepe says. Now however, she is getting involved in any kaupapa she can, including attending the National Māori Student Nurses Conference, which was held at the Whakatū marae this year. “I encourage other Māori nurses to get involved because it is helpful to make connections with people who have been where you are and to see where you’re going,” she says. We have a diverse mix of young-adult and adult learners at NMIT, because we offer training that fits around your life. Many of our learners are juggling other commitments and responsibilities so our support networks are robust to capture these needs. Interested in studying the Bachelor of Nursing?

West Coast-Tasman back in blue, Nelson too close to call GORDON PREECE While Nelson’s electorate results will be decided by special votes, the West Coast-Tasman’s preliminary results look to be blue. National’s Maureen Pugh ended Saturday’s election night 915 votes ahead of Labour’s Damien O’Connor, who sought his fifthstraight win. Maureen says while she was still “very susceptible” to the outcome of the special votes, she was “elated” to win on election night after contesting the seat since 2014. “It’s an old cliche but the reality is this is truly one of the biggest privileges that you can ever hold, to be a representative for your community,” she says. “Cautiously though... there is probably no one here more sensitive to what the special votes can deliver, because I have lost a list position twice after the specials have been counted. So I’m elated that on election night I have been elected as the electorate MP, and realistic that the special votes could change that.” Maureen says on election night she also thought of her late daughter Haley, who passed away in August. “She was very invested in me and my role, and she was probably

On election night, of course, my thoughts did go to her, and we acknowledged the

role that she had played in keeping me focused and enthused.” Damien O’Connor was contacted for comment but did not respond. The special votes will be needed to confirm Nelson’s Member of Parliament with just a small margin separating its front-runners. National’s Blair Cameron finished the night with a slim 54vote lead over Labour’s Rachel Boyack, and their election chances will pend until 3 November, when the special vote results are finalised. Special votes are made by those who voted outside their electorate, voted overseas, were on the unpublished roll, or if they enrolled close to election day. The Electoral Commission says it is unable to provide a regional breakdown of special votes before 3 November. In the 2020 General Election, 5624 special votes were cast for Nelson with 2725 special votes added

to winner Rachel Boyack’s total. Blair, who celebrated getting the most votes on election night with his supporters at the local National Party headquarters, says he felt “excited and optimistic” ahead of the final results. “Obviously a very close result, so we won’t know the final outcome for another few weeks yet, but feeling really excited and optimistic that the results will reflect the results on election night.”

It is still too close to call whether it will be Blair Cameron or Rachel Boyack who claims the Nelson seat. Photos: File.

Blair says he had been at Parliament on Monday to meet with the new National Party caucus but says it was unlikely he would be a List MP if he was unsuccessful at winning the Nelson seat. “If you have a look at the results, [National Party] just won so many electorates which is fantastic… and because of that, there’s a few people getting on the list for the National Party,” he says. “But we have a fantastic team of people all around the country and it’s great to be part of that team.” Rachel acknowledged that while Saturday had been a “difficult night” for Labour, she was mindful that special votes tend to lean towards left-wing parties. “It’s really clear that for both Blair and I, only one of us will get to be a Member of Parliament, and that will be whoever wins the seat, so given our results, I won’t be making it back in on the list. “Right now my focus is on my team who are also in a waiting game and also making sure we are still available for people who might have urgent needs.” Rachel says she had also been at Parliament to help her caucus colleagues with transitions now that Labour is in opposition, and she planned to spend time with family in the North Island while awaiting the special vote results. Her Nelson office remains open while final votes are counted.

Upper Queen carparks to be replaced by cycleway FROM PAGE 1 Kevin and Maria suggested that the street should become a 30kmh shared zone for cyclists and drivers, like the section that passes through Richmond’s town centre, so parking could stay. Upper Queen St resident Jill Knowles also wants the carparks to remain. “We’ve seen how many cycles go down, there’s very little, and it just means we have no parking for our friends or family.” Local Democracy Reporting visited 10 random properties along the affected stretch of road. Only four residents knew about the plans – but, one hadn’t had any updates since last year, and another was on the council’s working group for the project. Their reception to the plan was largely negative with the plan being called “ridiculous” and a “waste of time”. One resident was generally supportive of improving cycling access but was “not sure the need’s there” while another would prefer the 30kmh zone. “We should [have more consultation],” Jill says. “We are ratepayers, we should be informed.” Council’s communication about the plans began with its Walking and Cycling Strategy that was consulted on in February 2022 and received almost 240 responses, 80 per cent of which were supportive of its targets. Jamie McPherson, council’s transportation manager, says all residents on streets affected by the strategy had letters dropped inviting

Council has also had direct discussions with affected businesses and 4000 flyers have also been distributed to residents affected. Further information is being delivered to upper Queen St residents about the plans this week. Council data shows that less than a quarter of people walk or cycle for trips under 2km. There will be an additional 16,600 vehicles on Tasman’s roads in 2050 if that rate continues. The council has committed to increasing the proportion of people walking and cycling for under 2km trips to 60 per cent by 2050, which will help ease congestion and reduce carbon emissions. Jamie says that 45 per cent of people who currently drive to work or school would rather bike and that the “number one thing” that council could do to encourage people to make the shift was to make cycling safer. “Queen St is currently a dan-

gerous street for cyclists, so we consider there to be suppressed demand,” he says. “Nationally and internationally, we see that when you build it, they will come.” According to Jamie, 30kmh zones reduce the severity of accidents between cyclists and vehicles but don’t necessarily reduce their frequency. “With intermittent parking, cyclists often feel forced into parking bays or into the ‘dooring zone’ of parked cars. The key goal to get more people on bikes is to improve the actual and perceived safety.” It seems like separated cycleways are successful in achieving this goal. Before the separated cycleways were installed along a stretch of Salisbury Rd, 53.7 per cent of people reported they thought the area was unsafe or very unsafe. Now that the cycleways have been installed, this number decreased to 18.3 per cent while an extra 22.6 per cent of people feel safe or very safe. The cycleways are expected to be installed in November and reassessed after a year.

JJ’s recycling mission reaches 10,000 jars ANNE HARDIE John Jary (JJ) is the chief collector of glass jars at the Arvida Oakwoods Retirement Village in Richmond and he has now delivered close to 10,000 to the Salvation Army. In the 86-year-olds’ Arvida Oakwoods Retirement Village home, he still has the original jar that set him on the path of recycling glass jars from the village and his fridge is covered with notes recording his tally. JJ has three collection boxes around the village for residents to deposit their glass jars and every day he picks them up in his electric car, then once a week delivers them to the Salvation Army store in Richmond which sells them to people making jam or home preserves. “I’ve just kept it going because it’s no trouble. The most I had in one day was 53 from one person. They must have decided they weren’t going to make any jam.” He has been collecting jars since 2019 and averages 150 jars a month that he takes home and rewashes before loading them into his car for the trip to the Salvation Army where he says they are sold for about 20 to 40 cents each. A tiny price that mounts up over

Brightwater safety upgrade

River Terrace Rd, near Brightwater, has had a safety upgrade. This location has had eight police-recorded crashes in the last five years, making it a good candidate for a reactive safety upgrade. The Tasman Alliance and specialist supply partner JC Contracting installed a 384m guardrail on steel-driven posts. Tasman District Council says the finished result is “functional, looks good, and will no doubt stop more vehicles from falling off the side of this stretch of road”.

Lately he has begun collecting brown paper bags from the village to take along as well so they can be recycled at the shop for its customers. Salvation Army team leader Ash Maxwell says JJ’s jar collections have been a great effort over the years and his kindness has been really ap-

preciated. In between his jar recycling job, JJ is still busy coaching table tennis at Saxton Stadium, a role he has had for several decades and earnt him recognition in the sport. “I can’t play anymore, so I have a heap of balls and just keep putting them over the net. It’s called multi-ball practise – I’m like a table tennis ball robot.

I’m very deaf, so I use hand signals.” He suspects he is the oldest active coach in the country and he is coaching a wide range of ages, from talented youths through to a 92-year-old woman. “I get quite a kick out of it. Otherwise I’d sit here and catnap all day.”

Tasman District Council is reminding residents not to put paint and other chemicals down outdoor drains. A discharge into the Wai-iti River near Wakefield was discovered last week and council’s environmental compliance team suspect that it was paint being washed down the stormwater drain. The stormwater catchment for this outlet pipe is Pigeon Valley Rd through to Edward St, Treeton Place and Will Watch Lane. If you know someone in this area who was painting last Thursday, please let the council know. Any water containing paint needs to be disposed of onto grass or well diluted and tipped into the sewerage system via a laundry or the toilet.

Established in the late 80’s, Wensley House Retirement Village is a community where age is just a number, and where staying involved is the vital secret to embracing life. Dedicated to nurturing and empowering independence the team at Wensley House support residents so each that each resident can continue to thrive on their own terms, helping to maximise their wellbeing.

Tenants ready to go at Nelson Junction ANNE HARDIE Ryan Gibson is switching from optometry to beds when he opens BedsRus at Nelson Junction’s 12-store complex early next year. He was the first tenant to sign up with Gibbons Holdings that is building the complex opposite Mitre 10 in Stoke, and though beds will be a big change after seven years running an optometry business in Auckland, he says beds are another health product. It has been a long wait since he signed up for a store in March last year and moved to Nelson with his family, but now he is just excited to get into the store and, hopefully, open in March. “One of the main things for us was even though there have been delays, we knew it would be the right site because it’s right in the middle of everything. I’m just so happy we’re here; it’s the right place.” The 10,700 square metre complex is a hive of activity as construction continues, with the first stores in stage one expected to be

A spokesperson for Gibbons says about 80 people are working on the site and all are contractors or subcontractors from the Nelson Marlborough regions. Almost 20km of locally-sourced LVL timber has been used in construction, creating fewer emissions in production, saving 860 tonne of CO2. Alongside the complex, there will be more than 900

carparks between Mitre 10 and the new stores. Recycled concrete and asphalt has been used in the construction of the newer carparks to reduce demand on natural resources and also keep material out of landfill. Gibbons has tenants for all 12 stores and has so far announced Mountain Warehouse, Aki Sushi, Hunting and Fishing and Bed Bath and Beyond, as well as BedsRus. Aki Sushi director Tae Bang says the family business had not been contemplat-

ing a new store, but Nelson Junction was an opportunity they could not refuse if it meant keeping a national chain out of the region and offering sushi in Stoke. Tae says they will continue to run Aki Sushi in both Richmond and Nelson and their sushi café, 194 Eatery, in Nelson. “When my mother first started making sushi in Nelson, the people didn’t know what seaweed was and that it came in a packet of sheets. Now everyone wants a sushi train.” A Mountain Warehouse spokesperson says its Nelson Junction store will be additional to the Nelson store. Hunting and Fishing has announced it is moving to a ‘one store strategy’ and will be consolidating stores in both Nelson and Richmond to focus on its Nelson Junction store. A spokesperson at Bed, Bath and Beyond, which operates stores in both Richmond and Nelson, says it has yet to decide whether the Nelson Junction store will be a third for the area, or replace existing stores.

News The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust has been overwhelmed by the incredible support from the community during appeal month. Significant funds have been raised so far to ensure the ongoing operation of this vital service. Last week Top South Media, who publish the Waimea Weekly, presented the trust with a cheque for $4000 thanks to generous businesses who advertised in the feature at the start of the month. NBS general manager commercial Howie Timms says it’s been a strong start to appeal month. “Clients have been giving funds and I think this appeal has a bit of a different feel, there seems to be lots more businesses and people doing more things, which is what we want.” He says that not only do they want to raise money, just as importantly they want to raise awareness for what the service does.

Deep reading pays off for bookworms

ANNE HARDIE A team of Waimea College bookworms have won the national Readers’ Cup competition after analysing six books better than any other team in the country. The Year 9 team of Bonnie Hughes, Pippa Brookes, Mackenzie Adlam and Emma Taaffe had 10 weeks to “deep read” the books before a Zoom quiz to test their knowledge and memory on characters, events and details in the stories. Students are challenged to read closely, think fast, work collaboratively as a team, and continue developing a love of reading. After a nervous start with a few technology issues, the team had 30 seconds to answer each question about the books which included their favourite of the six books,

Five Survive, by Holly Jackson. Most of the books were written by New Zealand authors and the team read the books multiple times, then quizzed each other at length in the lead-up to the competition final. “Everybody specialised in three books so we could all cover a couple each,” Emma says. Reading books is a favourite pastime for the team members, and among them some of their favourite books include A Court of Thorns and Roses, Keeper of the Lost Cities and The Hunger Games. “A good book can take you to another world,” Emma says. Each team member took home a prize consisting of a pair of Apple AirPods, a $60 book voucher and a trophy.

Opinion Historic Murchison pub demolished Lots of memories from working there as a teen. Bonnie-rose Rhiannon That is so sad, another piece of history gone. Kathleen Page I was shocked to see the diggers wrecking the building with such beautiful timbers and doors etc still in place. Surely they could have salvaged them. Sad. Tania Jones Just another part of our history gone, that’s all they do around Nelson province. My family came to Nelson in 1853 and a lot of our old buildings that were here have gone since then.

Climate advocates: Hope Bypass won’t solve congestion woes

Will they take part of Hope Domain? Will they place the off ramp where Ranzau school is now, when they move to The and Meadows? Will they sink money in to find it isn’t viable? Will it take so long for people will move from the area in frustration anyhow? All these potential impacts of a road are huge compared to the lesser impact of a flyover.

Nelson Tenths trial drawing to a close TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

One of New Zealand’s oldest property law claims is on the home straight of a 10-week trial aimed at resolving an almost 200-year-old land dispute. Closing submissions start today, Monday, October 16, in the High Court at Wellington on a case designed to determine the extent of the Crown’s breaches, any defences it had, and potential remedies in the long-running saga of the Nelson Tenths. The High Court trial follows a Supreme Court decision in 2017 that said the Crown had a duty to honour an original agreement to reserve 15,100 acres of land as the Nelson Tenths Reserves during settlement. Customary Māori landowners in the top of the South Island have been fighting for justice since the 1840s over promises made but never fulfilled when the New Zealand Company bought land for the Nelson settlement. The trial is now in its ninth week, following a visit to the Nelson

Photo: Melissa Banks. region last week by legal representatives for the applicant and Crown as the defendant, plus Justice Rebecca Edwards who is hearing the case. They were welcomed with a pōwhiri at Te Āwhina Marae, which was a focal point for the whānau, hāpu and iwi of Motueka. The trial has been described as one of the largest pieces of litigation against the Crown this country has seen.

Nelson-based Wakatū Incorporation has been supporting the case fronted by Kaumātua Rore Stafford as representative of the Māori customary landowners - the descendants of those tūpuna identified by the Native Land Court in 1892. The legal case did not involve private land, but land held by the Crown. Neither was it a Treaty claim but one that had traversed the courts over decades as a pri-

vate breach of trust. The court heard on opening that losses for Nelson Māori over unresolved land deals might have amounted to more than $1 billion. The Crown apologised for its historic role in matters that gave rise to grievances among Māori in the top of the South Island. However, it indicated in its “mini opening” on the second day of the trial that it was unlikely to budge on the extent of remedies sought to resolve breaches. The Crown said in its substantive opening on week five of the hearing that the Supreme Court’s recognition of a fiduciary duty was “narrowly tailored to the circumstances arising in the case”. It argued that none of the “alleged breaches” could be conclusively established as breaches of fiduciary duty and it was now too late to do justice because the claims were time-barred and “barred by laches and acquiescence”. The Crown said the plaintiff ’s story was repeated throughout the country, that Stafford and the customary owners were not alone in their grievance, and that the

Crown had attempted to atone for this. Wakatū chief executvie Kerensa Johnston told Open Justice that she felt the case “stands alone in terms of its significance”. She said whānau from around the country and from Australia had arrived at court throughout the trial to lend their support, had brought in kai and even a ukelele. “Bringing a little bit of us into the courtroom is inspiring,” she said. Johnston said they were now on the home straight in terms of summing up and closing submissions. “We feel hopeful that we’re now closer to a resolution. It’s been over 14 years now in terms of this litigation alone, and we’ve put our best case forward. “From there, it’s a bit of a waiting game and we expect the judgement to take a bit of time to write.” O P E N

Mr Tunnicliffe concluded by saying he had given them a correct account of the matter, which would show them that Wakefield was the name of their district, and he would not cease his endeavours as long as he had breath to confine the name of Wakefield to its proper limits, viz.: between Jimmy Lee’s Brook and the first crossing of the Wai-iti. He reminded those attending that at a meeting held nine years previous they had to stick up for their name, when the people below tried to filch it from them. It was then agreed the boundaries would be the portion of the Waiiti Valley, comprised between the 88 Valley Stream, known as Jimmy Lee’s Brook, and the crossing of the Wai-iti River by Bridge’s Line, and reasons given to the Central Board. In favour of Jimmy Lee’s Brook as the lower boundary was that it was a natural boundary and had for the last 20 years been the dividing line between Wakefield proper and what was called Lower Wakefield.

We are in the midst of probably the biggest change to the automotive industry since the introduction of the internal combustion engine with the rapid move to alternative energy sources, electrification and sustainability.” EV-trained Kia Master technician, Ross MacDonell, says having a dedicated onsite workshop enables an extra level of service, and guarantee, to the customer. “Kia has historically been simple and understated but in recent years they have taken the market by surprise. The whole vehicle market has definitely taken a major turn since hybrids and EV’s have become a more viable option for many people and Kia have been one of the forerunner brands for hybrids and EV’s. The range of electric vehicles in particular is constantly expanding, and we are seeing some impressive designs and engineering ideas. There is more confidence and interest as the range these cars can travel increases, and the facilities for charging improve. The automotive industry seems to be one of the fastest changing

other brands, and when needed, Kia headquarters and Kia NZ provide good support for the service department. Kia generally takes pride in face-to-face interaction; we deal with actual people rather than a computer for support. Kia entrusts technicians to keep vehicles operating in optimal condi-

tion, so technicians are kept upto-date with the whole range of vehicles. As a master technician, I work with a great team of technicians to provide this service to people on behalf of Kia. We are the eyes and ears, the hands and the feet, of the technical support department when the need arises.

Celebrating 10 Years

As with any brand and with the increased number of Kia’s on the road, there are understandably issues that arise and we work with the wider network of support to solve problems as fast as possible and keep customers happy; our main aim. Kia have extended their warranty which shows that they are ready to stand by their product and provide aftersales warranty at no cost to the customer. This makes it easy for me to recommend buying a Kia and the rate at which Nelson Kia is growing speaks for the product.” The Nelson Kia team strongly believe it is important to give back to the region and stand tall as proud local supporters. Donating a portion of every vehicle sold during the month of October to the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust is part of the goal for their birthday celebrations. “Starting this week, for every test drive taken through us, we will also be donating $50 to the NMRHT. Kia is a growing brand with a focus on more than just profit. We have a focus on people and the environment.”

Summerset Richmond Ranges

Join us at our Market Day Summerset Richmond opens its doors to the public with a family-friendly creative market Chatting with some of the friendly residents of Summerset Richmond Ranges, it is easy to see why they have chosen to enjoy retirement at this special village. Celebrating and supporting an individual’s uniqueness is the epitome of Summerset Richmond Ranges’ philosophy. Creating a platform where people are free to express themselves in a safe and encouraging

Fantastical folk art feeds creativity

reating gorgeous hand painted homewares, Barbara May first started creating in 1990. Barbara had an idea to learn folk art with the hope that it would be a great starting platform to learn important different styles while using traditional colours and patterns. “Folk art takes a lot of technique to get right. Not long after I started, I got so wrapped up in the style that I was totally absorbed in it, I just love it.” Posing for a photo

Talented artist offers a range of wares

iving at Summerset for two years, Jenny Greenwood could easily be described as an ‘artist in residence’. The painter, teacher and creator has a bit of a knack for acrylic painting but these days she can be found using permanent Inktense crayons as her preferred medium. Basically ink in the form of pencils they are initially water-soluble, but do not reactivate with water once they are dry. “The crayons create a bit of a challenge,” says Jenny. “They are very hard to use, you really only get one go at what you are putting on the paper, but I am loving it. You can’t get that result with other types that are available!” Drawing inspiration from other artworks, Jenny also creates Christmas cards and portraits for her family. The talented artist teaches drawing for beginners at Summerset Richmond Ranges and has also held an exhibition at their monthly Artist Corner. Jenny looks forward to holding a white elephant sale with ‘a bit of everything’ at the Market Day.

setting, whilst providing top-quality care is paramount to the friendly team. Showcasing the strong sense of community, Summerset Richmond Ranges are hosting an Open Day on Saturday, October 28, from 10am-3pm. Visitors can wander the village and view the brand-new Serviced Apartments, Cottages and Villas. Along with this a Market Day organised by the village Arts and Crafts committee ensures there will be something for everyone.

With a range of treats and displays on offer, including knitting, artworks, photography, hand painted homewares, cards, gifts and white elephant, Arts and Crafts committee member Linda Bergman says everyone is looking forward to welcoming the public to their village. “We are very excited, the people in the village are so talented! Summerset is such a wonderful place to live and the team are just fabulous.”

with some of her wares including a hand painted Austrian door harp, Barbara often keeps an eye out at the op shops for her next project. “My technique has evolved over the years, and I adapt according to the item that I am painting. Sometimes I have an idea and I of what art I would like to paint, and then I keep an eye out for the perfect ‘canvas’, and sometimes I will find a piece and then the idea grows from there. It is very organic process.” I mainly paint trays, wall plaques, boxes and door wedges. The time it takes depends on the intricacies of what I am painting and what I would like to retain in the grain of the wood.”

Skilled knitter displays delightful dolls Knitting has long been a part of Heidi Iseli-Strasser’s daily life, having initially picking up the knitting needles for her firstborn child. Creating from a Swiss pattern that she picked up over 50 years ago, Heidi once again picked up the needles for her grandchildren. The lockdown of 2020 saw Heidi make good use of leftover wool that she had tucked away. Creating superbly colourful little toy dolls that will be showcased at the market, Heidi says some only take one day to make, but it is the decorating that takes time. “That is the hardest part, but I do find the process very relaxing. I take them with me when I go walking and children are always fascinated by them, they always come up to me and are drawn to the ones that feel most familiar. They say it will remind them of

a friend or a family member. It is lovely and sometimes I will let the children keep them.” The residents of Summerset are so creative, says Heidi. “It is lovely to see that talents are not wasted. As we age, we don’t lose our talents, we just lose our confidence.”

A collaboration for Days for Girls organisation Part of a collaborative group, Dianne Nicholson’s stall will be showcasing a range of work from local crafters including items made by the local Menzshed. No stranger to upcycling products herself, as a talented seamstress, Dianne says that the funds raised from the stall will be fully donated to the Days for Girls organisation. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Richmond, Days for Girls provide funding to buy material including flannel, knickers and soap that are distributed in a sustainable menstrual kit gifted to females enduring poverty both locally and globally. Local team leader Debra Gibbs will be attending the Market Day to help

with any questions. “It is great to support other organisations outside of our community,” says Dianne. “It shows that we are not insular.” Items that will be available include Wooden Christmas trees and decorations, fabric packs for quilters, beeswax wraps and cushion covers.

Street names tell stories

FROM PAGE 1 deputy chair of Tasman Milk. Subdividing the land for housing was something the Field family had been negotiating with the council for more than 16 years before it became a reality. The Field family sold to developers who converted the land into the now-established Berryfields. Herringbone St is not the only street that has hidden history relating to the previous dairy and fruit farm. “Dartnell Lane. Dartnell is my mother’s middle name. Then there’s Ayrshire St and Holstein Lane, which are both varieties of Friesian cows that my father bred on the farm,” Alan says. “The stud was named Midlane Stud, that’s where Midlane Cres gets its name, and Summerfield Boulevard - Summer is my middle name and Field is our last, so that’s a family one. When one Berryfields’ house owner was asked what she thought Herringbone St referred to, her response was: ‘It’s a flooring pattern’.” A street named after flooring - there’s a thought.

Growing a love for wild mushrooms ELOISE MARTYN Hannes and Theres Krummenacher never brought their 53 hectares down Neudorf Rd in the Moutere with the intentions of farming wild mushrooms. Instead, the couple - an electrician and midwife - made the big move from Switzerland with their young family for a different lifestyle. “We had travelled all over New Zealand and some of our kids had been born here while travelling, so we felt a strong connection with this beautiful country,” says Theres. “One major draw card was the reduced population. Switzerland is seven times smaller than New Zealand yet its population is a whopping 8.57 million.” The couple already had a love for trees, so when they moved to the farm, previously a deer farm, they automatically planted a range of productive trees such as chestnuts, olives and fruits. They also enjoyed eating the delicious wild mushrooms growing around the existing old man pine trees. “It was around 2001, during the truffle boom, when Crop and Food encouraged us to get into truffles as well as two mushroom types, porcini (Boletus edulis) and saffron milk caps (Lactarius deliciosus),” Hanes explains. “The porcini never came to anything, yet the saffron milk caps took off and we became the first commercial growers of the saffron milk cap in New Zealand, and that was the start.” Saffron milk caps are loved for the colour they bring to a meal. Its firm texture and fruity, faintly peppery fla-

It gets its name from the bright orange milk that bleeds from the mushrooms when they are cut. Over years of planting, they have built up to have a healthy 6,500 trees covering 20 hectares of the farm and extended the range of mycorrhizal mushrooms to include birch bolete, larch bolete, slippery Jack, pine bolete, and painted suillus. Mycorrhizal mushrooms are grown naturally in a symbiotic relationship with different tree specimens. It’s a beneficial association for both the fungus and the tree. The fungi use their un-

derground mycelial network to interact with the roots of the trees and, when they are ready, they pop up along the tree root system. Mycorrhizal mushrooms do not live or reproduce in compost of any kind. “Foraging is a tradition in Switzerland and something everyone does regularly. From this, we had a love of trees and harvesting wild foods, so wild mushrooms really suited us,” Theres says. Mushrooms are harvested over a few months during autumn. They have quite a short season so the harvested mushrooms are dehydrated or pickled, which extends the period of time they can

be consumed and enjoyed. “The last few seasons have really changed with all the wet weather we have received. “This autumn, our harvest was down an alarming 70 per cent. It would be the worst harvest we have had in fifteen years,” explains Hannes. “It’s very hard to gauge how the season is going to go, as unlike an apple tree, where you can see the fruit, we can’t see the mushrooms until they come up.” The farm has a vibrant social life and opens its gates to many visitors and groups who enjoy learning about the symbiotic relationship involved with mycorrhizal mushrooms. Local retirement homes visit regularly, as do garden clubs and tree association groups. “We have a dedicated room with information and an educational presentation. Some of the groups go on a tour of the farm and look at the diversity in our tree range, others relax in the sun and just enjoy being out in the county,” says Hannes. Some people know their mushrooms as ‘umami’ which means ‘essence of deliciousness’ in Japanese, however the couple both say delicious mushrooms aren’t the only reason they enjoy their spot down Neudorf Rd. “We both enjoy being outdoors and I like being my own boss,” laughs Theres. Hannes, who retired from being an electrician some years ago, agrees that working in the outdoors, producing a natural food full of health benefits and sharing the journey with others, is a rewarding and satisfying lifestyle.

Saturday 28 October 10am - 3pm Summerset Richmond Ranges 1 Hill Street North, Richmond

A hobby that lasted a lifetime, it is safe to say that Jean Van Ginkel’s husband Case was mad about trains. Purchasing his first set at the age of 14, during the second World War, Case became a motor mechanic in his later years and recreated a miniature set within the couple’s garage at Summerset. Passing away at the age of 94, Jean says there was a fine art to the tiny scenes that he created. “Trains were his big thing. We have been on every train ride around the world. The setup in the garage was always a talking point for people, when the door was open people would always stop and have a chat with Case.” An extremely talented embroiderer herself, Jean’s stunningly detailed

needlework would wow even the most experienced creator. Holding Case’s very first train in her hand, Jean will be holding a stall with some of her late husband’s items, and simply says, “It is time, I think to have a sort out.”

It is such a lovely community here.”

Adamant that she is not related to David Bowie in any way, Jan has been a resident of Summerset Richmond Ranges for three years now and is completely in her element. Taking great pride in having knitted for all four of her daughters over the years, along with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Jan now enjoys knitting boots and booties, jerseys, clothing sets, hats and head scarves to on sell at the Market. “I have always enjoyed it,” she says. “I have busy hands!

Fundraising for Cancer Society New Zealand

All proceeds collected from her stall will be donated directly to Cancer Society New Zealand, says Cindy. “Sandra is a wonderful woman and a very close family friend. I feel honoured to be able to display her images on her behalf. We have all been affected by cancer in some form or another and this is a wonderful way that we can help to ease some of the hardship for people.” Sandra first started her photography journey as a teenager with a Kodak Instamatic, picking up a secondhand SLR later in life. Joining the local camera club in 2010, Sandra entered her first competition with her first two entries earning Honours and Acceptance awards. Winning a multitude of awards over the years, Sandra was also recently recognised at the 2022 PSNZ Sony National Exhibition with a bronze medal. An avid animal lover, Sandra’s real passion is photographing animals whether it be birdlife, insects, zoo animals, or domestic breeds. “I have always been an animal lover. I love the challenge of pulling a character out of a subject.”

Crombie Lockwood becomes Gallagher Insurance Leading insurance broker Crombie Lockwood is welcoming the opportunity to provide its clients with increased global insurance options under its new name Gallagher Insurance. The company has been part of the global insurance broking company Gallagher since 2014 and Steve Lockwood, managing director for the Gallagher Asia Pacific region, says now is the right time to adopt the Gallagher brand in New Zealand. “The current New Zealand insurance market has challenges with capacity, coverage, terms and pricing, and we need to look further afield for options and solutions for our clients. We can do that better operating under the globally-recognised Gallagher brand.” Gallagher is one of the top three insurance brokerage and risk management companies in the world, with a network that provides services in more than 130 countries. Gallagher is led by Pat Gallagher, the grandson of the company's founder. In New Zealand, Gallagher Insurance will remain under the guidance of long-standing Crombie Lockwood CEO, Carl O’Shea. Laura Kidd, Gallagher regional manager,

Nelson and Marlborough, says the company has been helping Kiwis protect what’s important to them for more than 45 years and this focus will not change under the new name. “We’re an integral part of the Nelson and Marlborough communities and will continue to offer the same expert insurance advice and broking services to the region

that we’re known for.” Laura says that getting the right insurance cover can prove challenging for some businesses with complex needs or no offshore presence. International insurers are also moving to cap some of their exposure to the New Zealand insurance market, which can lead to challenges in securing cover for some clients.

“Gallagher’s extensive global connections and reputational strength means we can access insurance professionals around the world to create insurance programmes for companies that benefit from arranging cover with an offshore insurer or which face limited insurer appetite for their risks in New Zealand,” explains Laura. Laura says the increasing severity of climate-related events illustrates the need to have appropriate insurance cover for valuable assets and possessions. “Your broker can identify the threats and vulnerabilities for your assets and business and design a fit-for-purpose insurance programme that gives you the right cover and value for money. Our Nelson and Marlborough brokers combine regional understanding with the resources and backing of our global organisation. This means we can support our clients wherever they do business.” Gallagher Insurance offices are located at 9 McGlashen Avenue, Richmond, or call 543 9021 and at 2 Main Street, Blenheim, or call 578 0228. You can also visit ajg.co.nz for more information.

A slip which has closed part of a major highway for more than a year is becoming more than an eyesore for frustrated motorists. The rock-strewn slip on the Rai Saddle has seen an area of the busy road cordoned off with traffic cones since October 2022. And the slip has become such a part of the landscape, a passer-by put a tongue-in-cheek happy birthday sign up. But the SH6 slip’s days are numbered, say road bosses. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency system manager Top of the South ,Rob Service, says work is scheduled to begin in the next couple of months. “We do acknowledge fixing this slip has taken longer than we would have liked. “However, work for fixing this slip site on State Highway 6 is scheduled to

begin before December as part of our summer State Highway maintenance programme.” Heading to Blenheim on SH6 the slip has been there since heavy rain in October last year. Drivers regularly commuting between the two are fed-up it hasn’t been cleared yet. After a photo of the slip and its colourful birthday sign was published on a Nelson social media site recently, people were quick to respond. “No point in rushing into anything. Only took four years to get the Tākaka Hill road fixed. Three still to go,” says contributor James Brown. “Wouldn’t make a scrap of difference if they WERE allowed to clean it up,” says Terry MJ. “They have to “discuss” the matter first (2-3 years), award the contract to someone (wait for 3 yrs for contractor to find 2000 cones), find someone to

put cones out (2yrs), then purchase 300 long handled shovels for the boys to lean on (another year) and lastly, put the boys thru [sic] a training program on how to lean on said shovel in a safe manner while they decide who will be the first to move.” Clearance work follows months of work elsewhere on the highway as workers spent three months between May and July repairing storm damage. It is hoped the work will slow erosion and help further protect the road sections from future damage. But the Rai Saddle Slip was missed out of the work programme and instead is part of planned summer maintenance works. The slip has gradually slithered over part of the inside part of the passing lane, meaning slower drivers have no choice but to merge to the outside lane. Motorists will be pleased to see the slip gone when it is finally remedied.

Fairytale finish at Speedway’s opening night JODY SCOTT A fairytale finish in a non-stop 25-lap T.Q. feature race saw hometown heroine Alicia Hill win from a star-studded lineup of some of NZ’s top drivers at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway. It was a climatic end to a great night’s racing that saw the locals dominate most of the grades. NZ T.Q. champion Aaron Humble, 2nz Kayden Barker, and Kihikihi’s Shaun Cooke were the three North Islanders who have based themselves in Nelson as they prepare for the Amber Court Motel NZ title on December 8th and 9th. Former NZ Champion Jeremy Webb made the trip from Christchurch to begin his efforts to regain the title, his first won here six years ago. The practices showed just how keen the locals are to make their presence felt come this December. Morgan Frost matched Hill for a heat win and both were on the front row for the feature. Behind them were the current and former NZ champions, Webb and Humble - so, no pressure, but it proved to be a was a class act from the locals.

Alicia Hill in her 6N T.Q won the 25-lap feature race on opening night of speedway. Photo: Rebecca Connor-Maling. Frost got off to a good lead, but Hill stayed close. Webb was the better of the next row as the laps started to tick by, mini battles were going on all around the track as the leaders started to lap traffic. Hill began to close and it was a slick move on the inside to grab the lead with a handful of laps to go. Webb was catching as well and used his skills to pip Frost into second in the dying laps. A jubilant Hill and rapturous crowd enjoyed the spoils of an

epic 25-lap feature race that had it all, the North Islanders out-paced by the locals in a prelude to what will be an epic title in six weeks time. The Trackman Trophys were at stake for all grades on the Dirtworks opening night. Several drivers stood out as the night went on, the refreshed engine of Super Stock driver Shane Harwood doing the business and could be a quiet favourite to gain another NZ title in January. The Sidecar of Rob and Harley Martin achieved the perfect re-

sult for the night, unbeaten in three heats, while sole non-local winner, Canterbury’s Jack Brownlees, was too good in the Quarter Midgets. Trackman Trophy wins went to Ryan Musgrove in the Streetstocks, Vaughan Cornelius in Production Saloons (who was a feature in last week’s Waimea Weekly), and Jack Rarity produced a wee move to spin out his closest competitor to take out the Stock car grade. Luke Higgins has a “show and tell trophy”, to chat about at Waimea

College on Monday, the Youth Ministock driver picking up his first win sporting the famous 79n number. The track was in perfect race condition, which led to some epic battles over the night, and plenty of close finishes that even the placement of the recording device on the car was the only difference. The drives of the night went to Leilah Jefcoate for an epic win in her new Ministock, the last two months’ work paying off for the crew, Taylor Martin pipped his older brother in the Quarter Midgets, the extra Weetbix in the morning worked. The Classic of Fatty Peterson kept up with its modern counterparts in the Super Stocks and lost a few kilos doing it. The Coca-Cola Fireworks will light up the sky next meeting, plus “Racing for the Kids” with a kid’s bike race taking place (see the Facebook page or Website for details). The junior members club is now up and running and the buildup continues towards the Amber Court Motel NZ T.Q. title with another battle to take place. So, can the visitors catch the locals? Come and see.

Legacy dancers to get their kicks at national comp GORDON PREECE Legacy dancers will show their moves, smooth as satin, at a national competition in Palmerston North on Friday with a musical theatre performance from the 1940s. The group, which is based in Richmond and Stoke, were nominated to perform at the National Young Performer Awards after achieving all the right moves in their rendition of Dancing Fool from the musical Copacabana, at the Westport Performing Arts Competition, which was held in April. Senior dancer Ruby Casey says the group of more than 25 dancers, aged between 11 and 18, were “really excited” to represent Nelson and shimmy with Dancing Fool against New Zealand’s very best. “We’re hoping to go and be able to showcase our talent, getting to the finals would be wonderful, but no matter the result, it’s great to go and represent Nelson and

see what other groups are like,” she says. “[Dancing Fool’s] a bit of a party scene and there’s lots of different characters in it. “There’s some with parasol umbrellas, top hats, canes, and we’re

all in different colours and it’s about all of us coming together and performing. “We’ve been really grilling down on it in the past few months and just getting ready to push it to the next level.”

Ruby says their Dancing Fool performance was developed by Legacy Dance’s choreographer, Okiwi Hawkins, to add more people, props, and enlivened themes to its performances, following a successful end-of-year

The biggest community sports club in the country JACK MALCOLM The Top of the South is well established as having some of the best mountainbiking in the world. With an estimated 5000 local mountainbikers enjoying the hundreds of kilometres of trails snaking their way throughout the region alongside many more travelling visitors, the region has become a Mecca for the sport. And the local Nelson Mountain Bike Club is at the forefront of the vanguard, having just broken the 3000-member mark and regaining the title of biggest sports club in the country. Having peaked at around 4500 members as people found the sport through Covid 19, the club’s membership numbers have bounced back to what is a “more realistic figure,” says club manager Geoff Wright. With such a significant portion of the local mountainbiking

scene also club members, he says it’s opened the door to continue growing the sport in the region. “Obviously, we’re punching above our weight, and we’re pretty proud of that. “We try to focus on member value, making sure they have the best time and value for members. “We bring a lot of health and well-being to a lot of people.” Alongside regularly held events throughout the warmer months, membership to the club also allows access to private land to ride and enjoy, says Geoff. “Part of the membership is a levy to go into Ngati Koata land. . . to some really special land and really special topography to enjoy.” And as the club has grown, so has the local scene. With spaces like the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park and Codgers continuing to grow and expand, there’s an almost unlimited scope for the future.

One of the biggest jewels in the crown is the 860-hectare Gorge MTB Park in the Wairoa Valley, which was previously owned and developed by American billionaire businessman Ken Dart

and was closed to the public until 2016.“There’s $30 million of resources and time put into that single reserve,” says Geoff. “It’s some of the best hand-built tracks available. . . and probably

one of the top five places in the world to ride, and that’s not just personal sentiment.” Breaking back into the 3000-member mark occurred during a committee meeting, bringing the club back to its top spot as the biggest in the country. Previous reporting by the New Zealand Herald in July claimed that Western Springs Football Club, with its 2600 members, was the biggest community sports club in the country, but the Nelson Mountain Biking Club has blitzed past that mark while also establishing itself as one of the biggest mountainbiking club anywhere in the world. Geoff says while they did have a small celebration, it’s the members who have made it all possible. “The important thing is this club is theirs, it’s yours, it’s ours. At the end of the day, the 3000 people are the club. . . it’s all for them.”

The Red Bull Warped Wall is just one of the 15 different obstacles racers must overcome as the Ultimate Athlete hosts its inaugural Nelson event. Photo: Supplied. JACK MALCOLM A new kind of race will take place at Tahunanui Beach this Labour Weekend with the inaugural edition of the Nelson Ultimate Athlete. The obstacle course race features 15 different challenges to overcome spread out over a three-kilometre course, and with a penalty loop available if an obstacle is too hard, there are multiple options to get involved. From racing over a cargo net to hauling yourself up a warped wall like a Ninja Warrior, there is something to test everyone’s functional

fitness. Friday evening sees the start of racing with a Next Gen 3km race to kick off the long weekend at 6pm, followed by the Ultimate Kids 1.5km at 6:30pm before the adults take to the course on Saturday. Starting in the morning with the 3km individual and teams races from 9am before the 6km (two laps and 30 obstacles) individual and teams, the Ultimate Athlete 10km races (three laps and 45 obstacles) kick off from midday with the elite racers battling it out for $3500 in prize money, includ-

ing $1000 each for the first placed man and woman. The early afternoon sees the 10km individual and teams get underway before the event finishes with prize-giving on the finish line. It’s the first time the event has been held in Nelson, having held previous editions in Mount Maunganui and Orewa Beach, near Auckland, since 2021. Organisers Jocelin August and Gavin Foster have worked with Nelson Tasman Regional Development and Nelson City Council over the past two years to bring Ultimate Athlete to the re-

gion. Gavin says they hope to establish Ultimate Athlete as an annual event, showcasing the “stunning natural environment” Nelson has to offer. The event has also collaborated with local businesses and sports clubs to create a version of the event that is unique to Nelson, including obstacles from local businesses like Aflex Inflatables, Mega slide and Pro combat laser tag. Registration for the event is still open, with late entries available at the event registration tent on Friday between 3-8pm.
