Poisoned pines lead to big bill for council KATE RUSSELL The removal of four poisoned pine trees in Dellside Reserve is estimated to cost the Tasman District Council around $10,000. The 80-year-old trees were over

20 metres tall and were removed on Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 November, as they posed a danger to nearby walking and mountainbike tracks. According to a council spokesperson, the trees had been drilled

and poisoned by a member of the public. A weedkiller or herbicide had been used, which was “very effective and quick”. But, due to the “difficult site, steep hillside, and constricted access”, the removal work has come

at a “reasonable expense” to ratepayers. “Due to the complexities, the work will be in the ballpark of $10,000. That’s an estimate from doing similar previous work to remove poison trees in an area

like this … Costs are high and could impact existing work programmes.” The two-day tree removal process required three arborists,

Community fire safety will be Aaron Thawley’s priority as the new chief fire officer at Māpua Fire Station. Photo: Gordon Preece.

Māpua Volunteer Fire Brigade’s new chief, whose surname is seared in the brigade’s membership history, plans to spark more local fire safety in his new role. Former senior station manager, Aaron Thawley, takes over as chief fire officer from Ian Reade, who recently retired after 17 years in the role and 31 years at the Māpua brigade. Aaron says he was initially reluctant to accept the new challenge, but he was now eager to drive the brigade forward. “I like to think I can bring some added enthusiasm and youth and I want to bring some renewed drive to the management of the brigade and see where we can take it,” he says. “My plan is that we will re-engage with our community and get out and re-

ally deliver a focus to fire safety information support to key members of our community. “Get back to smoke alarm installation and checks for some of the elderly, and target some of our rural community members with fire safety support around what plant species they want to be growing closer to their house that will slow down burning if there is a vegetation or forest fire.” Aaron, who’s been a member at the Māpua brigade since 2003, credited his new role to Ian Reade, and to Ted Perry, who founded the station in 1972. “I would like to acknowledge Ian’s service and the commitment he’s made to the brigade. He’s gone through some pretty tough times and taken it in his stride, and the

Valley.” Aaron says his great aunty, Eileen Harvey-Thawley, who’s served at Māpua since the mid90s, was also an inspiration. “I enjoy the comradery and getting amongst the community… it’s almost like having a second family, especially our brigade, we’re a tight-knit bunch even though we all come from different backgrounds,” he says. He says the brigade was also calling out for more daytime responders, including people who are comfortable using a breathing apparatus.

Mayor: election heralds ‘frustrating’ changes but also opportunities MAX FRETHEY

Tasman District, which crosses two electorates, was represented by two Labour MPs in a Labour-majority government during the last parliamentary term. Now, with National’s Maureen Pugh unseating Labour’s Damien O’Connor in West Coast-Tasman but Rachel Boyack appearing to have kept her seat for Labour in Nelson, the district is split between two opposing parties. Tim is “not sure” on how that split could affect the region as it lobbies the

Local Democracy Reporter

The country’s change in direction heralded by the general election has been described by Tasman’s mayor as “beyond frustrating”, but could also provide an opportunity to deliver meaningful change. During its time in government, the Labour Party embarked on several major reforms that drastically change how local councils can or will operate. However, the National Party has indicated it will scrap the Three Waters reform and do its own Resource Management Act (RMA) reform. Tasman Mayor Tim King says that while he acknowledges that there is a new government mandate from the people, the policy U-turn is “immensely frustrating” given the amount of time and money that has gone into the reforms. “Central government agencies, local government, and a number of other people are just waiting to see and looking for some certainty about what the immediate future – certainly the next hundred days – looks like.” He says the repeal of the RMA

However, Tim welcomes National’s commitments to invest in road maintenance, economic development, cut red tape and – crucially for Nelson-Tasman – build the Hope Bypass. “But, like everything, the devil is in the detail,” he warns. “A number of the things the

previous government was proposing had potential merit but just the execution of them was average to terrible, so we never saw the potential benefits… this government is going to have the same challenge.” He also has no illusions about the current economic challenges facing the country that National intends to address. “There just isn’t a lot of money out there from central government to come to local government.”

government for specific support next term, but notes that National and Labour both committed to building the Hope Bypass “It largely comes down to how willing those people, parties, groups, are to work together,” he says. “In some ways, it actually helps to have advocates on both sides for whatever it is you’re trying to achieve and I’m looking forward to working with both of them to get as good outcomes as we can.”

Roads, library books, resource consents: Tasman’s year in numbers MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Tasman District Council has been busy over the 2022/23 financial year with many millions being spent on numerous different projects. Here are some key takeaways from its Annual Report: Council earned $89.3 million dollars from rates revenue for the entire year, about 40 per cent of its total revenue of $221.7 million. Other sources of revenue besides rates include subsidies and grants, fees and charges, and revenue from forestry. A surplus of $20.6 million was recorded by the council, $2.7 million below what had been budgeted. However, the surplus is not a result of the council not spending money it rated residents for, rather the surplus is driven by non-cash vested asset income – essentially, physical infrastructure that has been transferred to the council by developers, such as roads or three waters infrastructure – which exceeded budget by $19.6 million. Higher than expected forestry revenue was the other major driver of the council’s surplus, delivering an additional $14 million of revenue.

The council’s debt was also lower than budgeted, sitting at $201.2 million rather than the $238.6 million estimated. The 2022/23 Annual Plan was developed before the end of the 2021/22 financial year, when projects were still ongoing. As a result of the apparent underspend in 2021/22, the council overstated its forecasted net debt for the following year. A total of 219,809 square metres of roads across the district were resealed during the year – the area of about 22 rugby fields’ worth of road. However, this was 16 per cent less than the council’s goal of 262,100 square metres, a likely disappoint for the 55 per cent of residents who aren’t satisfied with the district’s roads. A lack of available funding and other urgent works were the main causes for the council not meetings its goal. However, a “modest” increase to Tasman’s road maintenance budget was made for the 2023/24 financial year and is expected to go “some way” towards addressing the backlog of repairs. The region’s libraries continue to get buoyed up with 13,040 new physical items added to their collections at a cost of $310,204, bringing the total collection size

up to 147,836 physical items. This doesn’t include the 6,909 new e-books and audiobooks which were added to the digital collection which is now 23,658 items strong. The investment appears to have paid off with library users reporting 100 per cent satisfaction with Tasman’s libraries

The council processed 814 resource consents over the 2022/23 financial year, though only 462 were processed within statutory timeframes due to a “severe shortage” of consent planning staff – as of 19 October, the consenting team had five vacancies and had no senior planners.

1,376 building consents have also been processed by the council and 8,127 inspections have taken place.

More than 3000 people attended Nelson’s Diwali Festival celebrations at Founders Heritage Park on Sunday. The traditional Indian festival symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness and the Indian New Year. Organiser Anjali Puri says the event featured traditional floor artworks called rangoli, traditional Indian delicacies and cultural performances. “It’s about sharing the love and involving everyone and celebrating who we are.” Pictured, from left, Kavita Negi, Kashvi Negi, 7, and Vijay Negi.

The love and heart of Pinnacle House ELOISE MARTYN Nearly 300 people came together for a fun-filled fashion show to support Richmond-based Pinnacle House in their quest to raise funds for a wheelchair-friendly van. Pinnacle House, a non-profit organisation, provides a day service for 26 individuals with a high level of special needs who have left school and for whom full-time employment is not an option. “We work hard to break down barriers that prevent our participants from participating in society, which means we don’t just sit here each week, we get out and about,” says Pinnacle House director, Linda Gill. People at Pinnacle House have a range of weekly community involvement opportunities that bring real value to their lives such as volunteering at the Hospice Shop, going to the gym, learning to cook, and visiting local rest-homes. “Our involvement with the community is only possible with a high level of support, but is of great benefit not just to the participants but to the community as well,” Pinnacle House manager Carol Burson explains. To continue supporting them to be actively involved in the community, suitable transport is essential, hence the need to fundraise for a wheelchair-friendly van. Linda says that the fundraising fashion show is something they used to host pre-Covid. The show is not professional or polished, instead it is upbeat, and fun and focuses on connecting the community and

the participants. This time round there were a few firsts. Alongside long-time supporters Fashion Central, Richmond’s Hunting and Fishing came on board with a fantastic range of clothing. “Big crowds and noises can be overwhelming for some of our participants, so this was a brave thing to do,” Linda adds. Another first was that they worked together as a team, over a three-month period, to create a World of Wearable Art-styled outfit. “The idea and drive behind the piece was a very creative staff member and all the participants got involved and helped, it was magic,” says Linda. The green dress adorned with handmade, golden love hearts represented all the love at Pinnacle House – staff love, partic-

ipant love, love of sitting in the garden having lunch together, love of going on walks, love of engaging with the community, and love for the sunshine. The BEE KIND shoulder was made of paper chain links chosen to represent how the Pinnacle ‘family’ help and support each other with kindness. The garment was modelled by Lisa Driver, who embraced the task with self-initiated daily modelling practice leading up to the event. The hard work paid off and the event was well received and an enjoyable success. “The participants worked really hard on all levels of the event from organising and hosting to cleaning up. “We have had unbelievable support from the community and amazing feedback,” Linda says.

Richmond’s poisoned pines FROM PAGE 1 five people to close the tracks down to safeguard the work site, and a five-tonne digger and operator to move and stabilise the timber. It was also anticipated that the existing track would need widening and some plantings may have needed to be removed to accommodate the work. The damage to the trees was discovered by reserve officers during a site and maintenance check. “The trees were dying and the needles changed colour to a golden red,” says the spokesperson.“They needed to be removed before they actually died, and removing dead trees is an added danger to the arborist. Climbing dead trees to dismantle them is very dangerous.”

As they died, the trees would have also shed large limbs onto three walking and mountainbike tracks below. This isn’t the first time this has happened, a second group of trees within Dellside Reserve was targeted previously. It has also occurred in Research Orchard Reserve and Pine Hill Reserve in Ruby Bay. The council states that there is an “ill-founded notion that trees are an environmental problem”. “Within this specific location these trees do not produce seedlings/ wilding pines, the area is shaded and restricts seedling germination. We also have a programme of weed control for this area.” The trees were to be cut up and left on site, as they are too difficult and expensive to remove.

Kapa haka pride cheers Nelson Tasman GORDON PREECE Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tuia Te Matangi on stage at Trafalgar Centre. Photo: Erica Sinclair Photography.

A powerful regional economic lift is estimated after Nelson Tasman said haere rā to thousands of students who visited last week to compete in Aotearoa’s largest primary school kapa haka event. Te Mana Kuratahi is the biennial national primary schools kapa haka competition, and Whakatū is the first Te Waipounamu (South Island) host for the cultural event in its 23-year history. About 1600 students aged between five and 13 from across Aotearoa, including Richmond’s Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tuia Te Matangi, Nelson Intermediate and Parklands School, took to the Trafalgar Centre stage and displayed their pride for Māori performing arts between 30 October and 2 November. Organising committee chairperson, Sonny Alesana, praised Nelson Tasman for their manaakitanga (hospitality) and the mana (work) from the estimated 150 people involved to allow the event to keep pace. “It’s just an amazing experience to see the performers enjoying themselves, firstly on the stage and second-

ly, the pride that their whole community and families have in them when they come off the stage, so it’s been an amazing event,” he says. “A lot of people have come through and said [Nelson’s] such a beautiful place, and there’s a lot of natural places to go to, the beach at Tāhunanui, or if they wanted to, they go over to Mārahau, or travel over to Kaiteriteri… so they’ve absolutely loved this place.” Sonny says between 3000 and 4000 packed into the Trafalgar Centre each

day to witness the pride and says some had already booked accommodation for next year’s secondary school kapa haka national competition, Ngā Kapa Haka Kura Tuarua o Aotearoa, which will also be held in Nelson. Nelson Regional Development Agency chief executive, Fiona Wilson, says the events’ vibrancy, community and economic benefits had been visible for the business community. “We are hearing such positive, appreciative stories from operators across

the region about what Te Mana Kuratahi has brought - especially in this otherwise quieter time for many,” she says. “Our Nelson YHA booked out, [and] our Nelson Coachlines [enjoyed] driving the teams around the region from as far away as Murchison and St Arnaud. While we can’t accurately assess the economic impact of this particular event without input data, conservatively, the impact of this event will be in the millions of dollars for the region’s economy.”

November is here and we are bursting at the seams with gorgeous stock. Everywhere you look there are treasures to be found. Now is the perfect time to plant all summer crops with abandon. Tomatoes need to be in the ground by the end of this month. This gives them plenty of time to ripen their gorgeous crops. Chilli, capsicum and eggplant love warmer temperatures and will establish quickly outdoors. Alstroemeria are wonderful perennials and have a long vase life. We have a lovely range of Inticancha varieties from Evandale Nurseries in Southland. They are beautiful, chunky plants and are gorgeous colours. Choose from deep purple, white, indigo, orange tones and more. Heights range from 40cm to 90cm. Alstroemeria love full sun and deep, welldrained soil. Before planting mix fish compost thoroughly through the soil. Once planted, water well and scatter sheep manure pellets around the plant. When picking for the vase or dead-heading, it is important to pull the entire stalk out of the ground. This encourages new growth and more flowers. Grafted Avocado trees are in-store now. We have Hass, Reed, Fuerte and Bacon varieties available. They need a warm, sheltered frostfree position and light, well-drained soil. If

you have clay soil and are longing to grow one, dig a very wide, deep hole and put lots of stones at the bottom to aid drainage. To help ensure good crops in years to come, it is best to plant a Type A and B variety. The flowers on each open at different times of the day which increases pollination. Hass and Reed are Type A. Fuerte and Bacon are Type B. After planting give them at least fifty litres of water gradually. Continue to do this every two to three weeks throughout their first summer. This helps ensure they will develop strong deep roots. Drip irrigation will encourage surface roots which is not ideal in the long term. We have a specific Avocado fertiliser that can be applied after they have been in the ground for one year. Mulch thickly, making sure the mulch does not touch the main trunk. Wool mulch is a perfect option. It maintains moisture very well and keeps the soil cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Pea, barley and red clover straw are also good. Our new site is such a joy.

Now in its 38th year, the event is organised by the Nelson branch of the Ulysses Club and will be happening on Saturday, 18 November, rain or shine. Riders will collect new toys and donations for the Salvation Army on their journey from Richmond to Nelson, which go to help those in need at Christmas. Co-ordinator Lorraine Lindsay says they have reversed the route this year, as usually they travel in the other direction, from Nelson to Richmond. This year it will start at the Richmond Showgrounds, travel down Queen St, Salisbury Rd, through Stoke, down Waimea Rd and Rutherford St, finishing at Trafalgar Park where there will be a sausage sizzle and a raffle. “We want more people to come to the endpoint at Trafalgar Park. They can bring along toys to donate and see the bikes.” Lorraine says they are asking

Showcasing some of the very best Lego creations in the country, the annual Top of the South Brick Show 2023 is coming to town. Hosted by local Lego enthusiasts, Top of the South Brick Club, organisers promise there will be plenty to see and do at the event. Paul Lowry is a passionate local who is a member of the Nelson Tasman and Golden Bay Brick Club contingents and says there has been a fantastic amount of interest this year. “We are full to the brim. This year there have been so many people interested in displaying that we are only able to offer people one table. The world of Lego has definitely grown and I think the Lego Master shows have helped with that. We will have a few Lego Master contestants from both seasons attending the event.” Logistically, there are various ways that people travel and set up their displays. “Some people break their displays up into compartments, pack them extremely carefully

We have one guy who does amazing topographical maps, they are huge. He has done the Milford Sounds and one of the whole South Island. He brings them in boxes and gradually sets up the display over the course of the weekend, so you can visually see it coming to life,” Paul says. “The thing about our group is that it is a completely voluntary thing, so to get a group of people organising events like this because they absolutely love it and love to share what

they do is great.” Growing up with Lego, like most kids in the seventies and eighties, Paul came back to the hobby in his late thirties, and says his son has a keen interest in it too. “Everyone has their own way of enjoying Lego. For example, I like to sort, organise and build from sets. My son likes to find sets online and build them from what he has.” The show is on at the Motueka Memorial Hall on November 18 and 19.

Local History

Looking back on the five lost schools of Waimea ROBYN PARKES From the early settlement of the Waimea’s small schools were opened in the rural areas to accommodate the educational needs of country kids. Many of these schools are now a distant memory as one-byone they were closed. Wairoa Gorge, Gordon, 88 Valley, Waimea West and Wai-iti are five of these schools now gone. Wairoa Gorge School was opened on a wet Saturday in June 1920 with a gathering of about 70 parents and children, despite some previous opposition to the school’s existence. Mrs Hale was the first teacher. The school did not have a long life and in 1945 was closed and the children were transported each day to Brightwater School. In November of 1887 funds were sought to build Gordon School with Campbell Ellis being the driving force behind it. For 30 years he fulfilled the role of Commissioner of the school. In 1937 a grant was approved for the replacement of the old Gordon School with an open-air classroom. The new school was opened in July 1938 with a ceremony by the Hon. W H McIntyre. It was pointed out that the school was one of the most up-todate open air type with folding doors in the north wall to take full advantage of the sunlight

weeks at harvest. The school existed for 66 years before closing in 1929. Waimea West School was opened in late 1848. After only a few weeks of operation the 30 odd attending school children were examined for their knowledge by the founder, Rev. F. Butt, resulting in a favourable report. The credit was given to the ability of their teacher, Mr Moore. By 1859 there were two schools in Waimea

88 Valley School 1890. Photo: Waimea South collection, Tasman heritage. and fresh air on warm days. By November 1944 the roll had dropped to three and the teacher left for another position, so the decision was made to close the school. Wai-iti School opened in 1857. Mr Edward Edridge was appointed headmaster in 1884 and he remained in this position for 30 years before resigning in 1912. Under his control the school grew to over 100 children and his activities in the social, musical, and educational departments had a lasting influence on his students. Wai-iti school closed in the first term of 1939 with the children being transferred to Wakefield School. Eighty-Eight Valley School was opened in 1863 and a female teacher position was advertised with a salary of £30. In comparison, a schoolmas-

ter was sought in 1878 with a salary of £120. The children attending the school came predominantly from a handful of families and by 1890 student numbers were at 19. Fire destroyed the schoolhouse in 1888 after two boys set fire to some gorse growing south of the school. A spark blew onto the corrugations of the iron, igniting the shingles beneath. The schoolmaster offered two of his rooms to be able to carry on the school temporarily until the building could be rebuilt. Teachers came and went in fairly quick succession, but one notable teacher was Walter Ladley, born in 1845 and at the age of 18 years was appointed sole teacher. Holidays were often scheduled around summer harvesting, and it was not uncommon to have three weeks at Christmas and three

West – Northern and Southern (Appleby and Waimea West). The two schools were covered under the same school district until 1881 when Appleby was made a new school district. The school was a hub for community events as well as tea dances, annual anniversaries, and social events for the children. The school was closed in 1937 and the children transferred to Brightwater.

Opinion

Wednesday 8 November 2023

Opinion Ban fireworks Last night (Saturday) we were subjected to the most appalling display of inconsiderate, arrogant and selfish behaviour. From about 10pm until 1.30 am, a series of very loud fireworks were set off near our house. These bangs were in groups of five or six. Sleep was impossible. There was no point in ringing the police or noise control as the fireworks were set off randomly throughout this muttonheaded incident. And of course, these people will have a stockpile to last ‘til Christmas. I hope it rains tonight! Ban fireworks? Yes, and the sooner the better. Howard (last name witheld)

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

In justification he points to parliamentary and governmental processes where decisions about the direction of the country are frequently made behind closed doors! Which is one of the main reasons why the Labour Government was voted out of power! Hopefully Mayor King, along with our elected councillors, will be reminded about democracy come the next local body elections. Democracy doesn’t die suddenly; it dies by a thousand cuts. Everyone needs to pay attention. Trevor Gately Sounds like this is becoming a trend with councils in NZ. Sue Wilson

Tasman mayor wants to keep workshops closed

Temporary fix for sinkholes

It’s very disappointing, but not unexpected, given Mayor Tim King’s record to date, that he has chosen to over-ride the democratic requirements of the Local Government Official Information and Meeting Act, and not allow all Council workshops to be open to the public.

Be prepared for magnitude 8 ELOISE MARTYN A Wakefield woman is leading the way in helping others prepare for and understand large-scale Alpine Fault earthquakes. Scientific research indicates that there is a 75 per cent probability of an Alpine Fault earthquake occurring in the next 50 years, with an 82 per cent chance that it will be a magnitude 8+ event. AF8 (Alpine Fault magnitude 8) is an award-winning programme of scientific modelling, coordinated response planning, and community engagement, designed to build resilience to the next Alpine Fault earthquake. “Geological evidence shows us that the Alpine Fault has a remarkably regular history of producing large earthquakes on average every 300 years,” says Wakefield-based Alice Lake-Hammond, who is the AF8 programme manager. “The last significant Alpine Fault earthquake was in 1717, which means the next one is likely to occur within the lifetime of most of us, or our chil-

dren.” The Alpine Fault is the active boundary between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates where they intersect on land. It’s 800km long and runs up the spine of the South Island. It’s visible from space, and without it, our beautiful South Island would look very different or not even exist. “It is the large earthquakes that the Alpine Fault generates that have lifted our beautiful landscape up out of the water - without that movement, our landscape wouldn’t exist. “So, when we talk about an ‘AF8’ we’re not talking about the end of the world, we’re talking about understanding how our landscape moves, so that next time it does we are all better prepared to move with it,” Alice explains. Over the last 8000 years it has ruptured 27 times, on average every 300 years, hence why geological evidence is telling us to be prepared now. “Preparedness looks different to everyone but can be as simple as having a conversation,” Alice says. Alice is encouraging people

MY RIDE RICHMOND 203 Queen Street, Richmond 7020 P: 03 544 5429 E: richmond@myride.co.nz www.myride.co.nz

to have conversations with neighbours, workmates, and family about how they can support each other ahead of time. “Before we lose power, water, and facilities it’s good to connect and have a conversation about how you will all look after yourselves. The better connected we are beforehand, the easier it will be to support each other during and after.” Unlike a flood or fire, which tends to be a localised event, an Alpine Fault earthquake will affect everyone in the South Island, resulting in a much longer than usual time for help to arrive. Emergency services will be overwhelmed and getting help will be challenging, which makes having those conversations now important. “It’s not a matter of if it will happen, it’s just a matter of when, so it’s great if people can increase their awareness around the Alpine Fault, enable conversation, and be a bit more prepared,” Alice says.

Holiday Park set to buzz with Nelson Motorhome and Caravan Show rolling into town A popular event that attracts over 2000 people each year, the annual Nelson Motorhome and Caravan Show is revving up for this weekend after a two-year hiatus. Held at the Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park over two days, November 11 and 12, organisers say this year is set to be a cracker with a phenomenal range of exhibitors and fantastic prizes to be won.

A family-friendly 'Hospitality-food Zone' will be set up offering a varied selection of food and drinks to purchase, along with a sponsored gazebo sunshade and some seating. Kevin Gear is the site manager for the event and says having the event at a location such as Tahunanui Beach Holiday Park is fan-

tastic. “What a location! It is an amazing venue and enables us to put on a great event which the public can come along to and immerse themselves in what the exhibitors have to showcase.” One of this year's many sponsors, Mike Carmody from locally owned SOTA RV, says it is great to see a resurgence in people purchasing caravans and motorhomes to explore New Zealand's beautiful countryside, “Over the last 12 months the caravan market has been a steady ride, although highinterest rates coupled with it being election year was always going to make 2023 a bumpy one, however, the orders of new caravans have still been consistent throughout the year. We are finding people have done their homework on what they want to buy and are generally coming to SOTA RV to

Nelson Motorhome & Caravan Show build the caravan to suit their lifestyle, however adventurous that may be.” Debbie Armatage, the Marketing, Communications and Events Manager for Tāhuna Holiday Park, says, “We love hosting this show and are so delighted it’s back. We love meeting the exhibitors and attendees that share our passion for this style of holiday. In the accommodation sector, Holiday Parks came out of Covid wearing the least impact, mainly due to people rediscovering the beauty of New Zealand when they couldn‘t travel further afield, at an affordable price. We’re happy to note this trend has continued post-Covid, as camping-style touring and holidaying continues to increase.” “We’re one of the largest Holiday Parks in New Zealand at 22 acres, located beach-side, with a serious variety of fun activities both onsite and within walking distance. Combined with the fabulous Nelson climate and scenery, this is simple beachside relaxation at its best.” Having previously been managed

for over a decade by the Nelson Rotary Club, past President of the Richmond Rotary Club, Diana Wilkins, says she is excited to bring her extensive knowledge in the industry to this year's event. “Jan Heslop has successfully managed the show for years but has now retired and approached our club to take it on. I have been involved in the Exhibition/Trade and Events industry in Sydney, Australia, since 1987 as Director of Impact Displays and Events Australia. After returning to my homeland of NZ, I discovered Richmond Rotary and have been a member since 2017. I have enjoyed getting my teeth back into organising events as 'once an exhibitionist, always an exhibitionist!' Making contact with the lovely folk in the motorhome and caravan industry has been a pleasure, as they are a down-to-earth, professional and friendly group of people.” Along with an existing group of regular loyal exhibitors, Diana says they also have a number of exciting new exhibitors who will

Take care with potting mix and compost Follow these simple tips to keep yourself safe from Legionnaires’ Disease Spring and daylight saving brings many Kiwis out into the garden. Unfortunately it's also the time when gardeners are most at risk of catching Legionnaires’ disease from bags or bulk loads of potting mix and compost. Bagged potting mix and compost can contain Legionella bacteria, which when breathed in, can cause Legionnaires’ disease. This disease is a type of pneumonia, which can be severe and in some cases life threatening. Here are a few simple precautions to reduce your risk when handling compost and potting mix: • Always work outside, a fine day with light wind is best • Wear a well-fitting N95 or respirator face mask • Wear gloves • Open bags with scissors and away from your face • Wet the mix to reduce dust • Wash your hands with soap and water when finished More information is available here: www.healthify.nz/health-a-z/l/legionellosis/

Local business celebrates Grand Opening of new state of the art facility From humble beginnings, Master Valet Drycleaners and Apparelmaster have been on an exciting journey of growth and expansion since 2014. Owned by Bev and Darryl Hamilton for nearly a decade, the recent move to their brand-new location on Gloucester St in Nelson marks a significant milestone in their success story. Celebrating in style, the team hosted their grand opening with friends, family, clients, suppliers and the people who helped to make the move possible on Friday, November 3. The move has been nearly a year in the making, and attendees were invited to walk through the new space before speeches and the cutting of ribbons. Their journey began back in October

2014 when Darryl and Bev acquired Master Valet Dry Cleaners and Laundry. After looking for a change in lifestyle the business opportunity was initially spotted by Darryl, and the couple quickly saw the potential in the already well-established company. “As most Nelsonian’s will know, Master Valet is an iconic business, that has been at the Collingwood Street site for nearly 60 years,” says Bev. “We have had many customers come in and tell us they used to work in the business as school kids, doing the deliveries after school. The delivery bike is now down at Founders Park.” “The business really needed a makeover. Firstly, we rebranded and painted the building bright purple

to go with the new brand. The big bright M became very recognisable on our building but also our vans. Darryl worked hard to upgrade the washers and dryers, but also to make the place more pleasant for customers and staff. Darryl has amazing vision and this made it more efficient, creating an office, moving railings, reorganising the laundry equipment layout and eventually adding 40ft containers to the driveway to cope with the growth. It was apparent we were outgrowing the site so needed to make the decision if we were going to continue to grow. As Darryl says, ‘we were trying to force a golf ball through a garden hose, with the amount of business we were doing on that site’.”

Master Valet Drycleaners and Apparelmaster owners Bev and Darryl Hamilton celebrated the grand opening of their new facility on Gloucester Street with family and friends on Nov 2.

Fast forward to November 2022 and Bev and Darryl embarked on their most significant venture yet: the move to a custom-fitted, spacious building on Gloucester St. This move was a culmination of ten months of meticulous planning and hard work. Darryl took on the role of project manager, working closely with skilled contractors to revamp the building's facade, install essential lines for steam, water, and air, and fit out the space with state-of-the-art machines and equipment. The grand opening at Gloucester Street was emceed by Bev’s brother, Roger who spoke of the couples generous and gracious attitude, and genuine caring for their staff and the community as a whole, a fact which he believes is the reason why the business is so successful. Ever humble in their achievements, both Darryl and Bev attributed their success to the dedication of the other. “Bev put all of this together and kept the wheels turning,” says Darryl. “Everyone who was involved in the transformation of the facility,

the remedial work, refurbishing the front facade, installing the boiler then many metres of steam pipes, plumbing and electrical, everyone was really invested in the job and just got it sorted. They have all been phenomenal and made it easy to get things done.” Bev says their staff have also been awesome and helped the whole transition come to pass. “Particular thanks has to go to Kylie, our Operations Manager. Managing the existing business while machines were being transferred across town was not always easy and she ensured the team adapted to get the job done. We cannot thank them enough and are very fortunate to have such a great crew onboard.” The result is nothing short of spectacular. The new location showcases the commitment to offering top-quality laundry services. The move was a massive undertaking, but the team's dedication ensured a seamless transition. They closed their Collingwood Street location on a Saturday and were up and running in their new Gloucester

St facility by the following Monday. It was a whirlwind, but it marked the beginning of a new

chapter for Master Valet and Apparelmaster. “Nearly one year ago we secured

this building. I had grand visions of using project management software, listing out what needed to be done, timelines, and costings. Darryl had other ideas and had it all planned out in his head. What he has achieved is just incredible. To all of our customers who have been behind us every step of the way and helped us to grow, thank you. To our team especially Kylie, Raeleen our Senior Drycleaner, and Tiff our Retail Manager, we thank you for the support and hard work to get us here.” “We have been able to physically separate the two parts to our business, so the retail drycleaning and laundry now have a dedicated area with their own machines and plenty of space to work on customer’s garments and furnishings. From Tiff welcoming our customers and discussing their requirements, to Raeleen and her team actually drycleaning or laundering the items, we take the utmost care. We look after men’s dress shirts, and suits, dresses and evening wear. Wed-

It is so much easier now with room to move!” One of the remarkable aspects of their venture was the open and supportive nature of the Apparelmaster team around the country. Unlike many industries where information is closely guarded, Apparelmaster was refreshingly transparent and offered invaluable support. The duo were able to tap into this network of expertise, further fuelling their ambitions. So, what is Apparelmaster? “We provide overalls, workwear and food industry garments on a rental basis so customers don’t have the capital outlay and can focus on their own business. We supply fit-for-purpose garments and will pick up and deliver clean garments each week as required. We also rent mats, towels and first aid cabinets. Your complete laundry solution.” The Owner and Managing Director of Apparelmaster NZ, Bevan

The new facility on Gloucester Street, Nelson, has been fitted out with state-of-the-art machinery and equipment to provide topquality laundry services to the region. Ritchie, attended the event and says the company is beyond proud of what Bev and Darryl have achieved. “These guys are just superstars. Year after year they achieve the biggest growth percentages, by far in our group, we couldn’t be prouder.” Being a business that relies heavily on power and water, Master Valet Drycleaners and Apparel-

master is committed to sustainable business practices. They were early adopters of an electric van for local deliveries, reducing their carbon footprint. They've also made significant strides in minimising plastic usage on customers' garments. The new facility is equipped with water-saving methods and all steam pipes are insulated, reflecting their com-

mitment to sustainability. They are part of the Apparelmaster group's lnStep Sustainability programme, aiming to measure their carbon footprint and set goals for reducing it in the coming months. As a family-owned and operated business, Bev and Darryl emphasise the importance of having local faces behind the counter and on the phone, especially in a provincial town like Nelson. They have always been a part of the community, interacting with customers both socially and professionally. Their close-knit team is considered an extended family, and they take pride in creating a work environment where people are happy and feel valued. The couple's roles in the business complement each other well. Bev's background in finance complements Darryl's practical expertise, and together, they make a formidable team. Darryl's vision for the business, combined with Bev's managerial acumen, has led to their remarkable success. They also understand the importance of maintaining a work-life balance and

look forward to spending more quality time with their family. With their move to the new Gloucester St location now complete, Master Valet Drycleaners and Apparelmaster are open for business, offering the same high-quality dry cleaning, laundry services and workwear solutions. Their mission is clear: take your dirty clothes and furnishings in, and they will come back out clean and fresh. If you have any workwear needs, don't hesitate to get in touch with the team. The journey of Master Valet Drycleaners and Apparelmaster is a testament to the vision, dedication, and hard work of Bev and Darryl Hamilton. From humble beginnings to a thriving business with a strong commitment to sustainability, this local laundry expert has come a long way. Their move to a new, custom-fitted location on Gloucester St signifies a new chapter in their journey, and they are wellprepared to continue providing top-notch laundry services to the community.

We supply outstanding food and excellent customer service for both private and corporate clients.

This is my 20th year of floristry and what continues to drive my passion is being able to come to work every day without it feeling like actual work. I have never, in all those years, not wanted to get up and go to work. Even on the crazy busy days like Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day when the days can stretch out to be 16 hours long.” “I originally established my business in Motueka before moving to

Richmond in 2020. I was in a lovely sunny spot in the Waring Car Park behind Richmond's Night and Day store. When the premises at 211A Queen became vacant I decided it was time to be on the main street which has more foot traffic and in the busy hub of Richmond. I am enjoying welcoming new and existing customers into my location.

A packed house enjoyed a night of racing, fun and big bangs at the Grim Racing, Coca-Cola Fireworks Display combined with the Heartkids fundraising and cycle race at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway. Over sixty junior cyclists were scattered over the track midway through the meeting to race around the track in aid of Heart Kids, with the ‘Heart Kids Bear’ on hand to support those who brought their bikes, before the night ended with the sky lit up with Nelson’s annual firework display. The huge crowd were entertained with a few rollovers throughout the night before the Streetstocks turned up the hits in their final, closed club championship race. Dylan Bensemann was an early casualty in the T.Q.’s, mayhem on the start of the first heat saw the car upside down across the start line, ending his night’s racing. Joe Keen was another T.Q. driver who had an ‘up and over’ moment. A sudden engine failure with the 2nz T.Q. of Kayden Barker left a flying Morgan Frost with nowhere to go but into the back of the Barker car before he hit the wall heavily - wrong place,

The 25n Streetstock wagon of Doug Corbett became a target in the final heat of the Streetstocks. A huge hit from Cody McCarrison saw the red light come on and McCarrison put to the infield. A huge field of local youth Ministocks were joined by a few visitors, the wide range of speeds from the seasoned drivers to the new ones meant the faster cars had to duck and weave their way through the traffic, a couple getting it right while a few got it wrong. The choice of going inside or out a big factor in deciding several race outcomes. The Quarter Midgets were enjoying plenty of track space with no visitors, the locals content to enjoy a relaxing night’s racing, Conley

Webley taking the feature wins, Taylor Martin picking up the heat 2 win and driver of the night award. The “Man of Steel” John Everett made his Super Stock debut in the colours of the Higgins/Frost/Smith Eco-Tech team. It was a busy five days getting the car ready after picking it up from the North Island earlier in the week. Steve Soper made his debut for the season after captaining the West Coast Rugby team to their first Lochore Cup Rugby Championship. The 3nz driver was quick to find speed, taking the closed club title after an epic final heat. The T.Q.’s continue to build towards their NZ title in December. Alicia Hill backed up her feature win last meeting by taking out heat one. 2nz Kayden

Barker took out the second heat, and the 1nz of Aaron Humble had a couple of good heat results to lineup on the front row of the feature race next to Barker. The final had a couple of cautions which proved riveting on the restarts, Alicia Hill twice getting the edge in 3rd spot to grab the lead into the first bend before getting the door closed. She briefly held the lead before Humble retook it then had a huge battle with Barker until his engine let go. Humble went on to win the feature. The final meeting before the NZ title should see a huge field of cars line-up to get a final eye-in in what will be an epic championship. The fireworks lit up the night sky to end a family fun meeting.

Enduro races require riders to make the ascent and descents on their bikes, with only the downhill portion of their ride timed as part of the race. With three stages, Koata Whetu, P51 and Tu Meke, the young racers had all manner of

terrain from smooth and flowy to tough and technical to deal with over the day. Young riders in the U10 category were required to have a support adult following them for the race, U13 and U15 riders tore down the trails unassisted. And while they might be young, they were also quick. With the day all about having fun, it was also a race, and the overall girl’s winner was Pippi Taylor, while the fastest boy was Harley Heyward. Event organiser Tayla Carson was impressed with the level of riding, but also with the organ-

isation of her team. She says it was impressive that they managed to keep the event on time with so many competitors, but it was the racers who provided the excitement. “It’s awesome, look how busy it is.” With summer ramping up, so is the upcoming calendar for Nelson Mountain Biking Club events. This weekend the third and final instalment of the XC series will commence at Kaiterteri Bike Park, while the third instalment of the Super D downhill series will be held at Codgers next Thursday.

Mic and Molley Heynekamp, the founders of Eddyline Brewery’s Taproom and Taqueria, began their journey in New Mexico, USA, during their university days. In 2016, they relocated to Nelson, New Zealand, where they established Eddyline Brewery & Pizzeria at 8 Champion Road. The expansion continued in 2019 when they moved the brewery to 15 Elms Street in Stoke. Despite their success, they missed the authentic New Mexican cuisine they had left behind. This led them to incorporate a taproom into the brewery space, offering their unique Mexican food in a more intimate setting. The Taqueria, open from Wednesday to Saturday starting at 11:30 am, has swiftly gained popularity. It provides a welcoming space for lunch, dinner, or snacks, with a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, including a dog-friendly patio area. Reservations can be made online, by phone, or

Molley and Mic Heynekamp owners and proprietors. by walking in. The Taqueria specializes in griddle-fried tacos, featuring shredded chicken, pulled pork, or beef, and a choice of four salsas. Their green-chile cheese smashburger is also a crowd favorite. The menu includes burritos, taco salads, buffalo wings, and more, catering to a wide range of tastes. The menu pairs perfectly with Eddyline Brewery’s award-winning beer. The company recently earned 18 medals at the Brewers Guild

Awards for their sustainably crafted beers. They utilize solar power for their all-electric brewery and have implemented CO2 capture technology from Earthly Labs, making them New Zealand’s first craft brewery to do so. They’ve also significantly reduced water consumption in beer production. Eddyline Brewery offers a diverse range of over 18 award-winning beers, from light low-carb lagers to rich barrel-aged stouts. All their beers are available for takeaway through their webstore or select grocery and liquor stores nationwide. Mic and Molley invite everyone to visit either Eddyline location, promising two distinct experiences that are certain to satisfy. “It is great to be able to offer such a diverse range of options and look forward to delivering a great experience. eddylinebrewery.nz phone 541 0757 Business Update.

Community stands behind kickboxers JACK MALCOLM When local kickboxers Lily Sinclair, Sarah Randall, Aaron Thomas and Miiguel Nunez make their debut at the Amateur World Championships, it will be just them, the referee and their opponent. But, for the four fighters as they prepare to embark on a trip of a lifetime to Europe, it has been a true team effort to get them to the starting line. Coached by former women’s World and European kickboxing champion Sallie McArdle, the team have been training two times every day in the build-up to the event. Sallie, who is travelling with the team as one of two New Zealand coaches, says it’s been a full community effort to get the team in the best shape of their lives inside and out of the ring. Not only have their clubmates been eager to get in the ring to help with sparring, but several businesses around the community have also stepped up to help the team on their journey. With free gym memberships from Miki D’s, John Dawson from Equilibrium providing free chiropractic services and personal trainer Glenn Harding doing free functional training, the team has been swamped with support. They have also seen nu-

merous businesses around the community get behind them in other ways, helping to raise funds through donations of their goods, time, money and even musical talent. Sallie says people were eager to jump on board when they heard about locals taking on the world, but there has still been a significant personal expense for the fighters to get them over the line. Alongside fighting in Romania, the team will start their trip in Ireland with training under seven-time World Champion Robbie McMenamy before joining the Italian team in Venice for two days of training. They will then fly to Slovenia for a four-day training camp with several other nations, with 70 athletes and some of the world’s top coaches in attendance ahead of the WAKO (World Association of Kickboxing Organizations) World Championships in Romania. With 65 countries in attendance, it will be a whole new experience for the local fighters as they come up against the best in the world. While Russia, a powerhouse country in the sport, will not be attending, Sallie expects it will take between two and three wins to make it to the medal stages. “They’re all working full time, and a lot of the guys

(and girls) they’ll come up against are full-time athletes. Some of us are also mums and dads, it adds an extra workload. “I know this level inside and out and I wouldn’t be taking them if I didn’t know they could do it.” For the fighters, many of whom have never been to Europe, there are some differences in their anticipation. Miguel says it’s an exciting first step in his future career as a fighter, but for others, it’s the experience that they’re looking forward to the most. “I’m definitely looking forward to putting myself up against the world’s best,” says Aaron. Sarah says she’s excited to see what gyms on the other side of the world are like, having been training in repurposed squash club rooms in town. For Lily, it’s been a journey of continuing to push herself to overcome the obstacles of being a world-class kickboxer. “When I first walked in, I don’t think you’d have ever seen me here.” For more details of the local support the team has received and to keep up-to-date with the fighter’s journey at the World Championships, including where to find live streams of the event, regular posts will be made on the ‘SMA - Sport Martial Arts’ Facebook page.
