Man leaves $3.6m to local charities Sara Hollyman Editor

A man who is remembered by those who knew him as being a people person with a kind heart has left a legacy that the region

will benefit from for years to come.

Nelson man Leon Page left his $3.6m estate to Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust and St John Nelson – each charity receiving $1.8m.

Leon died just over a year ago and

Executor of his will, Craig Morice, says Leon recognised the value that both services provided, after spending much of his life farming in Golden Bay. “He told me when we talked that

as an ex Golden Bay farmer he recognised the value of that rescue helicopter to the bay’s residents and how many lives that helicopter has saved getting over the Tākaka Hill in a hurry, and also the amazing work that St John do.

“Leon knew that he wanted to leave a substantial sum of money that would make a difference to those two charities.”

A haul of prestigious war medals that were found in a Napier dump have been reunited locally with the only known descendent of their owner, just days after Waimea Weekly launched an appeal.

The quest for descendants of the Nelsonian Alan Le Grand Campbell, to whom six WW1 and WW2 medals were awarded, eventually lead to the discovery of a living Donald James Campbell. This is despite official RSA records showing him as buried at Marsden Cemetery alongside his father.

Alan’s youngest son is now 91, lives locally and was surprised to hear that he’s been the subject of a nationwide hunt.

“If anyone wanted to find me, they could have just looked in the phonebook,” he says.

However, the search wasn’t quite that simple as keen historian Sue Thomas discovered.

“One day Leon popped into the hangar, he wanted to borrow a charity box for a rhododendron club fundraiser. He stayed for a cuppa and the crew put him in the helicopter, he ended up staying for about three hours,” Paula says.

She says Leon’s wish is for the $1.8m to go into the endowment fund which will see the trust get to their $5m-infive-year target.

“Due to loss of funds through cancellations with Covid-19 it’s so important to have that nest egg, it will end up being our major funding source.”

She says Leon wanted the Golden Bay community to be looked after as he knew how important the helicopter service was.

“The crew here very affectionatly refer to the Golden Bay trip as ‘the milk run’ as we seem to be over there every other day.”

Over the 20-year-period Theresa says Leon became like a family member, joining them for Christmas, birthdays and special occasions.

Theresa says it didn’t come as a suprise that he had left such a large sum of money to charity.

“He was always very giving, hes done an amazing thing for our community but that’s just Leon, he was the

person that was always happy to help anybody, he was just always there. In Di Pierri Way, its just left a big void.”

She says she first got to know Leon through her dogs.

“We had two boxers and Mario worked away a lot so I always had to walk them one at a time. He said, ‘well that’s silly I’ll come too and we’ll walk them together’.

“He was just a really, really kindhearted guy.”

St John general manager community engagement south, Craig Stockdale says St John is incredibly grateful to Leon for his bequest.

“St John plans to use these funds towards establishing a new ambulance base in Nelson, which is going to greatly benefit both our people and the community in the Tasman area.”

Leon also left three pieces of artwork which the charities are planning to jointly auction.

Covid arrives in region Staff Reporter Locations of interest have been revealed after a positive Covid-19 case was confirmed in Nelson Tasman on Monday.

The locations stretch across a nine-day period from Friday 19 November to Saturday 27 November and include petrol stations, takeaway outlets and the Richmond Mall.

Dr Stephen Bridgman, Nelson Marlborough Medical Officer of Health, says that the case and household contacts are in community isolation, and close contacts are in community quarantine with testing of those contacts underway.

Investigations are ongoing as to the possible source of infection.

Several exposure events are being assessed by the Nelson Marlborough Public Health team and locations of interest are being published to the Ministry of Health’s website.

Nelson-Tasman residents and visitors are asked to check the locations of interest, and follow the instructions given on that page if you’ve been at one of these locations.

The arrival of Covid in Nelson comes less than a week after the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board met, with chief medical officer Nick Baker saying staffing was the biggest challenge they are facing.

He said he hopes that because of the region’s relatively high vaccination rate, 95 per cent of Covid cases could be managed outside the hospital but acknowledges there will be compromise.

“We will be short of staff,” Nick says. “Hopefully we will manage well people at home, not sick people in hospital.”

NMH general manager of clinical services Pat Davidsen agreed that a reduction in planned care will free staff up to work on Covid-related care.

He also spoke of the possibility of deploying more health care assistants, to allow qualified staff to work where necessary.

He said intensive care (ICU) needed specialist nurses and there was increased training being carried out with senior nurses.

This week’s Covid-19 case is

the first confirmed case likely to be infectious in the NelsonTasman region since 2020. A case was announced in Blenheim on 23 October and has since recovered.

The ministry is asking anyone with symptoms - no matter how mild - to please get tested, even if they are vaccinated.

Walk-in appointments are available at the Nelson CBAC at Saxton Field parking area in Stoke this week.

Multi-offers put pressure on first home buyers Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Pain and frustration are being felt by many trying to get onto the property ladder as an increase in multi-offers is pushing prices up in the Tasman region.

The median price of a house in the region has hit $900,000 with recent figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand figures out Monday showing a $200,000 increase from October 2020 to the same time this year.

Bayley’s Grant Chaney says houses in Richmond are going for a premium, but properties in outlying areas are also selling well. Multiple offers are pushing prices even higher than real estate agents are expecting.

Having multiple people putting offers on properties means a lot of frustration for those who miss out.

“When we have multiple offers, if one person gets it, eight are missing out,” Grant says. “That is causing challenge and pain.”

He says there are people who have stopped looking because it is just too hard. Others have parents helping them.

“Parents helping is a wonderful thing,” Grant says. “Without that help some wouldn’t be able

to buy their first house.”

With even stand-alone crosslease properties in the $600,000s a 20 per cent deposit is $120,000, which Grant says is too much for many first home buyers. The only properties he is seeing in the $500,000s are middle units, and there are only a few of them on the market.

Developments in Tasman mean more newer homes, which is one reason for the record-breaking median prices. Nelson has more of a mix of houses, and fewer new properties.

There were 74 properties sold in October, the highest sales count since November 2020. In Nelson, median house prices dropped $48,000 when compared to September. However, they rose from $641,000 in October 2020 to $750,000 in October this year.

Of the 16 regions surveyed, Tasman’s median house prices were third highest, equal with the Bay of Plenty and behind Auckland and Wellington.

Total house sales for the Top of the South region were down about 30 per cent on the same time in 2020.

The current days to sell of 27 is less than the 10-year average for October but the same as the October 2020.

100-year-old headstones destroyed by vandal Sara Hollyman Editor

sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz

A person has taken to headstones in Richmond Cemetery - destroying at least four and damaging a number of flower beds.

Tasman District Council communications and change manager Chris Choat says a person turned up at the cemetery during the night of Thursday, 18 November and proceeded to destroy four headstones.

The headstones were all over

100-years-old and were in the oldest part of the cemetery.

“They also took to a number of flower beds,” Chris says.

A police spokesperson says a large number of plants were pulled out of the ground in the memorial section of the cemetery.

Chris says police were called by nearby residents as the offender was “quite noisy” as he set about destroying the headstones.

Chris says council has security footage of the car and person which has been handed to police.

“Council security cameras are di-

rected at the fenceline and entryways,” he says.

Monuments masons have already been on site and are assessing what work they need to do to restore the headstones.

Chris says if and when the person is identified by police they will be subject to a legal process.

“Unfortunately, with damage of this nature, ratepayers will foot the bill in the meantime.”

A police spokesperson says they have not been able to identify the offender and have “no further lines of enquiry”.

Medals find their way back home FROM page 1 “When I read the story, I thought that as I’ve done a fair bit of genealogy, I’d be able to find Alan’s descendants.”

It was Sue who discovered the RSA records were incorrect after calling the widow of the Donald Campbell who is buried at Marsden Cemetery.

“When she told me her husband’s father was called James and not Alan, I realised the RSA had made a mistake,” she says.

So, Sue set about looking into the wills of the men, scouring electoral rolls and death registers.

Meanwhile, John Cretney from Atawhai, happened to read a copy of the Waimea Weekly while he was in a café.

“I just turned the page and thought, ‘Wow, I know this family, I lived in their house for 30 years.’”

John had moved into Alan’s house on Black Street, Stoke, which the Campbell family owned from 1937 to 1960.

“The house was originally built

by John Glasgow and I was interested in the history, so I spoke at length to Alan’s youngest son, whose nickname was Hamish, about his time there.”

He says that after reading the

story in the newspaper, he referred back to his notes from 15 years ago and saw that Hamish’s real name was actually Donald James.

When he told Sue, she tracked Hamish down and contacted him by phone.

“When I discovered he was alive and well at the age of 91, I was thrilled.”

Hamish revealed the medals had ended up on a Napier rubbish tip due to a house clearance after his nephew had recently died.

“My brother John left the medals to his son Alexander in his will.

Sadly, when Alexander died, we had to arrange a house clearance. The medals must have been thrown out then.”

The next part of the puzzle was reuniting Hamish with his father’s medals.

Veteran Simon Robertson, whose brother Jeremy found the medals on the rubbish tip, had been sent them to kickstart the initial search from his Dunedin home.

“I never expected a relative to be found so soon, let alone one of Alan’s sons who we’d been told had died. As soon as I heard, I took time off work and booked flights to Nelson.”

Being ex-military himself, Si-

mon wanted to hand deliver the medals to Hamish as a mark of respect, so he made the 1130km round trip last week.

“It was an honour to be able to do that for a fellow veteran.”

When Simon handed over the silver box, Hamish immediately recognised the inscription ‘FJE’ 1926, which explained why the medals had been stored inside.

The initials were for the patron for Nelson Repertory, Friday Easther, who was the also director for the Blenheim Amateurs.

Alan’s wife and Hamish’s mother, Barbara, was an actress and Friday was a regular guest at their home when Hamish was a child.

“My father must have been given the box when Friday died.

“Friday was ex-military too and landed in Gallipoli on his 21st birthday.”

As for the medals, Hamish says his father kept them locked in his desk drawer and they were rarely seen.

“I have a box of my father’s war memorabilia, including flight records, training book and ID card from the Royal Flying Corps, which went on to become the RAF.” Simon says some of the collection dates back to 1916 and even has logs of flights when Alan

was flying in Mesopotamia and Baghdad on operations.

“Hamish literally has a treasure trove of all his father’s war belongings, and it was a real privilege to be able to see it in person. I wasn’t expecting that, so it made the trip even more worthwhile for me.”

Hamish says his father used to tell him tales about his flying days.

“He always said the worst thing about it was the planes. They were made of plywood and the propeller was on the back.

“You needed to be able to fly it, land it when it broke – there were no parachutes - fix it and then get it back off the ground before you got caught.”

The chance finding of the medals has unearthed a rich family history dating back to 1594.

The Campbells come from a long line of British nobility.

Among them was Hamish’s great grandfather who was one of the earliest settlers in Nelson and opened the first school in Motueka.

Mount Campbell is also named after him.

The remarkable story of the Campbells will be serialised in the Waimea Weekly history column from next week.

Desperation amid struggling legal aid system Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Share your thoughts on a new project to reimagine Richmond South as a place where more people can live, work and spend time.

The Reimagining Richmond South project aims to help meet growing housing demand in Richmond by providing for around 2,000 new homes.

It's early days for the project and we want to learn your views and work with landowners, businesses, and our communities to explore the future of the Richmond South growth area.

What we learn will inform community and landowner visioning. This is important because the vision for the area will be the foundation for detailed structure planning work.

Have your say online before Monday 6 December:

environmentplan.tasman.govt.nz/reimaginingrichmond-south

The potential development area is from the current southern boundary of Richmond, southwards to between White Road and Ranzau Road, and into the foothills of the Barnicoat Range.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Reimagining Richmond South project community information events at the Hope Hall in November.

Hundreds of desperate Nelsonians in need of legal representation are having to be turned away as overloaded lawyers struggle to cope with a system on “life support”.

A new study has found that across the country 20,000 people seeking legal aid have been turned away, with one local lawyer says that figure is likely a “conservative” one.

Steven Zindel from Zindels Barrister & Solicitor on New St says, from his desk he can hear the firm’s receptionist talking with desperate clients who they don’t have the capacity to take on.

“It’s about three people turned away a day, so 15 a week and 700 within a year. Mainly family clients,” he says.

Steven says he too often hears directly from someone in need of a lawyer who has already been turned away from other firms.

“I have a Christchurch person who tried all 63 listed legal aid providers in Christchurch on the Ministry of Justice website.

He tried every available person

and none would help,” he says.

Managing solicitor for Nelson Bays Community Law Service, Trevor Irwin, says there is a huge amount of pressure on the legal aid system throughout the country, and Nelson is no different.

“Family legal aid providers, in particular, are under a huge amount of pressure. It is very difficult for many people to get access to a family legal aid lawyer in this area who is not already inundated with work.”

Just last Thursday, Steven had heard from three people desperate for representation.

One was a woman living in Westport who wrote she had “no luck over the last month finding anyone who has time to take on a new case”. The woman went on to say if she couldn’t find a lawyer under legal aid she would have to pay for the fees herself.

A New Zealand Law Society survey released earlier this month surveyed almost 3000 lawyers’ issues surrounding ‘access to justice’ in Aotearoa.

New Zealand Law Society president Tiana Epati says the survey shows the country’s legal aid system is on “life support”.

“Aotearoa New Zealand’s legal aid system is collapsing,” says Tiana.

The survey also showed there were too few legal aid lawyers available at the start of Covid, and now there are fewer.

“Our survey showed almost a quarter of current legal aid lawyers intend to do less - or stop - legal aid work entirely within 12 months,” she says.

Local lawyer Mark Dollimore says the cap on legal aid grants is a turn off for bigger firms in the region compared to private, uncapped clients.

“The big firms generally don’t want junior lawyers doing legal aid, it’s a big problem, I think,” he says.

Tiana is calling on the Government to address the strain on legal aid lawyers with a “threespoke attack”.

“There needs to be a substantial, overall increase in legal aid remuneration. Secondly, there needs to be more funding for junior lawyers to support legal aid seniors, because there are no junior lawyers to succeed seniors who are leaving. Finally, the administrative burden of becoming a legal aid provider and running a file must be dealt with,” she says.

2000 new homes a possibility for Hope Erin Bradnock Hope residents have been asked to have their say on a potential new development that could see 2000 new homes in the area.

The proposed development would see new housing along the current southern boundary of Richmond, southwards to White Rd and Ranzau Rd and into the foothills of Barnicoat Range.

Tasman District Council’s ‘Reimagining Richmond South’ project is in its early stages and the first of its community engagement process.

Richmond South was highlighted as an area for potential urban growth through the Nelson Tasman Future Development Strategy 2019.

Council’s project lead, Jeremy Butler, says the proposal is about finding the right balance between addressing the need for more housing while keeping Hope’s character.

“The challenge for us will be bringing in those houses while keeping it rural,” he says.

Tasman District Council hosted four drop-in sessions last week at Hope Hall with a range

A new development could bring 2000 new homes to Hope. Image: Supplied. of feedback already.

Feedback requests sent by mail and available through the council’s website ask what locals love, what they would want to see and what they would not want to see for the future of Hope. Posters and post-it notes with the same questions lined Hope Hall last week.

So far, locals seem to be saying that they have concerns about housing density and dwelling sizes and not developing on productive land. Access to cycle and walkways are also important to them.

Hope School principal Freya Hogarth agrees that more ac-

cessible walking and cycleways should be considered as a top priority for redevelopment.

“We’re very much experiencing growth and we expect that to continue,” she says.

The rural school currently has 70 students enrolled at the Paton Rd site where Freya says cars drive by at speeds of 80 to 90kmh.

She says “almost all” students are dropped off and picked up by car, by their parents.

“For our community right now there’s no option to walk or bike to school safely,” Freya says.

She says the school is hoping to make a submission before the first stage of community feedback closes on December 6.

“I imagine there will be some people in our community with some concerns, they love that we’re a small rural school, but I haven’t spoken to the community yet.”

Stage two of community engagement is expected for March/April 2023 with more detailed visioning before a third stage later with some options for further community feedback.

The Mayor’s Christmas Dinner might look a little different this year. Organiser Vicki Spiers says they will still be catering for the same numbers, which are usually between 175 and 200. Current planning is for 100 sit-downs and a take-away service available to others. They are also considering picnics on the lawn if it’s fine, and meals on tables outside.

“We have lots of options,” Vicki says. “We will be following the rules on the day but don’t know yet

exactly what they will be.”

Vicki has had a lot of people asking if the meal will go ahead and is aware there is a real need in the community.

Only those with vaccine passports are able to participate in the sitdown meal. The take-away option is open to all.

She has spoken to most of their regular donors and they are all on board, so the menu will be similar to previous years.

Tickets are available at Age Concern, the office of Church on the Hill and Richmond Information Centre. Contact details will be needed for all those attending.

When Murray Drake thinks of his wife Ginny, he remembers a kind-hearted woman whom he spent 23 years of his life beside. Ginny passed away a year ago, in the care of Nelson Tasman Hospice after a two-year battle with cancer.

This year, Murray hangs his first decoration in memory of Ginny as part of Hospice’s Trees of Remembrance campaign.

A Christmas tradition for hospices around the world, Trees of Remembrance has been running in the Nelson Tasman region for 20 years.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity, primarily for people at Christmas time, to write a card and put it on the trees to remember a loved one who won’t be with us this Christmas,” says hospice philanthropy coordinator Georgia Ciaran.

Georgia say more than 1000 memorial decorations are placed on the trees each Christmas. Each one is treated as taonga and are all gathered together at the end, cremated at hospice and spread

The Nelson region will enter at Orange, which means a lot more use of My Vaccine Pass I’m really excited that Nelsonians will be able to do more of the things they love, and I’m thrilled that the Nelson markets and other markets are able Stewart Henry Tina Hebberd Pauline Harris Samantha Burling Lydia McKenzie Marie Healy Mandy Troy to operate – I’ve been working with 027 454 5112Property027 233 0260 Ltd | MREINZ 027 664 4424 027 538 3643 027 886 4192 027 233 3131 027 230 0201 Ltd | MREINZ erty Management Ltd closely | MREINZto ensure that they can Management Property Management them 546 9290 546 9290 546 9290 546 9290 546 9290 547 2476 547 2476 operate safely.

Yelsa Real Estate Comes To Market

If there’s one thing Kiwi’s are pretty good at, it’s doing it ourselves.

T

hat’s why Yelsa is the quintessential home grown real estate company developed

by Kiwi’s for Kiwi’s. Yelsa encourages you to be as involved as you want in the sale of your property. Want to manage it all yourself?

With Yelsa DIY now you can literally ‘do it yourself’. Yelsa provides you with all the tools and marketing you need to get the job done yourself, saving you those big commissions, or for a small commission (by comparison) you can enjoy Yelsa’s full agent service. All you need do is give the instructions and Yelsa gets the job done for you.

“When you’re selling your property, no one knows it better than you do, and it makes total sense that the custodians of that property, the owners, have the opportunity to be engaged and share their knowledge directly with the purchasers. That’s why we’ve created a system which gives property owners greater control of their property sale”. Mike Harvey, founder, Yelsa Real Estate.

When you sign up with Yelsa DIY, you’ll get: • Access to motivated and active buyers.

• This includes their contact details and finance status.

• Important documents and tools included.

Legal title (typically costs through a lawyer), expressions of interest forms, useful clauses for contracts, printing and scanning services.

• A free online property listing @ yelsa.co.nz.

When real estate company websites are obviously not an option and commercial real estate platforms like TradeMe and OneRoof charge for their services, Yelsa Real Estate online represents the best free go-to site for DIY sellers and buyers of all types of properties.

• A managed social media campaign. We initiate and nurture the organic promotion of social media posts, creating threads that weave through large networks being shared with contacts looking for properties.

• Personalized Interactive Street Sign. Your Personalized QR Code on the sign connects buyers on the street instantly to your property’s selling profile, and you instantly receive that buyer’s profile, including their contact details.

Yelsa owner Mike Harvey says the company’s goal is to make selling real estate easier, with more money staying in the pockets of the owners.

“We are a collection of committed professionals who believe there is a better way to do real estate. It’s our view that the industry is overburdened with archaic processes that add cost to everyone, from property owners, buyers and even tenants right through to agents and salespeople”.

“We know some property owners will sell privately. Yelsa DIY is proud to give private sellers access to powerful marketing tools and full control of the process. For those people that prefer an agent, we also offer the best value full real estate agent service available, hands down.”

Mike Harvey CEO, Yelsa Real Estate, Nelson Bays

We want to hear your opinions on what matters to you and your community

Email: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz Renting in Nelson: I am a young mom with a one-year-old boy. Recently I have been struggling to get into rentals, I’m either judged on my appearance or my age or because I have no renting history. It’s so low how property managers discriminate me or other Māori mums that are trying their best to get a house for them and their wee ones. In the last six months I’ve applied for over 100-plus houses and have been declined, even though I have strong references and a tenancy letter to highlight who I am, I still seem to get declined. I have been on social housing since I feel pregnant with my son, so two years now. I have rung Work and Income up every second day to see if I’m next for a property, but they give me the same answer, “no there aren’t any available properties where you have selected”, when I’ve put all of Nelson on my application. They suggest I find a private rental, but even a private rental is so hard to get. I see people getting handed private rentals because they’re working, or their appearance is better, or they have a renting history. I recently got a call from a property manager about a house on Rimu St and I introduced myself to her and explained my situation to her and she said, “could you stop there, I’m sorry, but your application is not going any further” and hung up.

My eyes just filled up with tears and my heart broke. I feel like I have nothing else to prove. Even if I was to get a house, the rent price a week is so expensive, I don’t know how I could survive, how could I afford to pay for food, power, my doctor bills, formula, nappies etc. My heart is so heavy, I just want somewhere to call home, feel independent, warm, and secure. Somewhere we can create our own tidy space. Trying to find a house has impacted my mental health so much but I’m still holding on to that one piece of hope and that is to get a house for me and my son. I come to speak for the other moms like me that are struggling to find a house for them and their family.

The Weekly’s great escape Jonty Dine Reporter

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

As journalists we are used to working to deadlines but not quite with the pressure that comes with an escape room.

The Weekly team tried its hand at Nelson’s newest entertainment attraction last week, ‘Xscape Space.’

With the choice of robbing a bank or art gallery or breaking out of prison, we opted to showcase our burglary skills.

The room was given a level nine for difficulty, a challenge we embraced. Given just one hour to escape the room with our stolen loot, our critical thinking skills were put to the test and then some. Complicating matters, the lights were turned off forcing us to navigate the clues with flashlights. The building was under heavy surveillance with multiple cameras, alarms and security patrol set to return to the scene soon. Observation was critical as the keys to solving the puzzles hid sometimes

in plain sight.

The inevitable inner team turmoil soon reared its head as we frantically fought the clock and each other in a bid for freedom.

The tension was palpable as time ticked away and we made our way into the vault.

With both our brains and nerves fried, eventually we cracked the case, proving we chose the wrong career paths as we made away with the coveted Moffee Diamond.

Owner operator Lindsay Bradley created the attraction with his wife and daughter after they did one in Christchurch and loved it.

“Just stupid ideas I come up with. I thought we need one in Nelson, so we went and did it.”

From conception in April to execution, the project has been completed with lightning speed.

The building contains seven rooms including two banks, two art galleries, a prison, a manor, and a detective’s office.

Xscape caters for schools and families as well as businessess.

Waimea Weekly team members Jonty Dine, Sara Hollyman, Jeremy Focas-Turk, Erin Bradnock, and Jenny Nicholson.

Now that we have proven ourselves accomplished diamond thieves, we will look to try our hand as jail-break experts.

Proudly brought to you by...

Sylvia’s troublesome pets Ruth Russ Sylvia Russ had a favourite goat. Her name was Nanny.

One afternoon Sylvia went out for the day, and did not lock her farmhouse (she never did). As it was a beautiful day, the windows onto the veranda were wide open, the beautiful curtains and drapes airing in the breeze.

When Sylvia got home, eight of her curtains looked as though they had been hacked through with a knife. It didn’t take much deducing to pinpoint Nanny the goat as the culprit.

On another occasion, on Armistice Day in 1918, Sylvia and the family prepared food, and polished and tidied the house.

The family, consisting of Sylvia, some of her girls and three of her five boys (her husband William had recently died), then went into town for the Armistice celebrations. They all dressed up to the nines in their best clothing. They returned home with visitors about 5pm.

Les, 14, carrying four-year-old Edgar on his shoulders, was

the first to arrive home, but he could not open the door. Attempts at pushing, shoving and shouting did not cause the door to yield; only the occasional

Sylvia Russ. Photo Supplied. grunt from whomever seemed to be fighting against him.

The others caught up to Les soon after and were as bamboozled as he. Who was at the door grunting away, strong enough to keep it shut? Perhaps

Fred, one of the older boys, had arrived home before them and was having a laugh.

Unfortunately, they soon discovered that it was not Fred. It was a big fat sow named Sally, who had pushed the door open while they had been out. The door had closed behind her, and she was now asleep against it. But Sally had not simply slept the day away. She had sniffed out the pantry. Tins of flour, sugar, bread, boxes of potatoes, Sylvia’s cakes made specially for the occasion: everything tipped out and squashed into the floor.

The set table, arranged beautifully for the visitors, had cascaded into a mess on the floor when Sally got hold of the tablecloth. And not only had she destroyed the kitchen, she had been in every other room, dragging blankets, bedspreads and white starched pillowshams throughout the house, chewing them and wreaking such havoc that the visitors ended up staying at Sylvia’s eldest daughter’s house instead. It took the family a week to clean up after Sally the sow.

The winners of the Nelson Tasman AgeConnect Champion awards were revealed at a prize-giving ceremony last week.

The awards recognise and celebrate people, businesses and organisations who help older people feel connected and part of the community.

AgeConnect group co-ordinator Marnie Brown says the awards “reveal acts of generosity and kindness that sometimes the wider public do not know about”.

There were five award categories with one supreme winner, which went to Brightwater Seniors Exercise Group.

“The overall Age Connect Supreme Winner had been nominated in two categories,” Marnie says. “We received an overwhelming number of nominations and one extremely creative nomination for them.”

The group was started last July to encourage movement, mobility, and social interaction among seniors in Brightwater, and it has been a wonderful success.

Led by Wanderers Community Sports Club under the instruction of Jaimee Macdonald, it has expanded to three classes per week with more than 80 members participating in light movement exercises, catering to a range of older adults and abilities.

“This group started out small with just six people but, with the guidance of a great committee and the drive to have an exercise group like no other, they are well-deserved recipients of the award.”

Jaimee says winning the award is the cherry on top of the cake for her.

“Our group have developed close friendships as well as enjoyed the exercise, so it’s a winning combination all round.”

Other winners were Coffee on Queen, which took the AgeFriendly Environment Champion award; Stoke Companions won Community Connections Champion; One Person Makes a Difference Champion was Leigh Dalzell for her exercise work; Intergenerational Champions went to Nelson College for Girls for their ‘Tea & Tech’ initiative; 60+ Employer Champion was Sharon Kenning of Stoke Seniors.

Harold reflects on time as local postie Jenny Nicholson

Harold Churton remembers the days when people sent cards in the post, telegrams were delivered and working as a postie meant knowing your community well.

He enjoyed a long career with the post office, including time as Wakefield’s postie in the 1950s.

“I was working in Murchison for the post office when Mum and Dad shifted to Pigeon Valley,” says Harold. “So, I applied to be a postie in Wakefield.”

As a 16-year-old he bought a new bike and paid it off at five shillings a week.

He had a long ride on the days mail needed delivering to those on the outskirts his mail run. It was a good job, he says, but he certainly enjoyed it more once the local policeman let him use his motorised scooter, especially on those rainy days when mail still needed delivering.

He delivered five days a week up 88 Valley, all the Wakefield township and through toward Brightwater.

Once deliveries were done, he would be out again if there were telegrams to deliver before spending the remainder of his workday sweeping and working as a general roustabout.

d l e fi e k a W n o s u Foc

New community hall needs public support Jo Kent Wakefield residents are being asked for ideas on how they could use a community hall planned for the area by Tasman District Council.

As part of TDC’s 10-Year Plan, the hall has been proposed for either Brightwater or Wakefield to use for local groups, events or sports.

Wakefield Community Council chair, Sonia Emerson, says that if people don’t come forward with ideas then the proposal may “fall off ” the list of priorities.

“The community hall was actually part of the previous 10-year plan but, for various reasons, never got off the ground. We are lucky enough to have it reappear again, but it’s up to the community to help make it happen.”

One of the driving forces for residents to get behind the proposal is because the current village hall has been deemed by council as an earthquake-prone building after a notice was served in 2018.

“It’s an older building and would need a lot of work done but, even then, it can only host up to 100 people at a time. A new community hall would give the area so much more potential in terms of what we could do.”

The Wakefield Community Council are in the process of forming a charitable trust in order to try to push the project along to keep it in the 10-Year Plan.

“The council bought a large block of land by the recreation reserve, behind the soccer club, and have indicated that if Wakefield was successful in getting the new hall, this could be where it might go.”

The recreation reserve is all the land between Pigeon Valley Road and Baigent’s Bush Reserve, including McGazzaland, the football grounds, tennis courts, Rifle Club and the 7.5ha of farmland purchased by the council in 2018.

She says the group has to come up with a third of the value of the cost of the new hall for it to get the goahead. The hall is estimated to cost between $6-$8 million.

“In the New Year we are kick-starting our fundraising drive as we have a huge target to meet,” Sonia says. “But if the council are hearing how much it would enhance the well-being of our community, then there is more chance of it actually happening.”

She says now is the time for brainstorming ideas and presenting sub-

missions to Council.

“It’s blue-sky thinking time. What multipurpose uses could the hall have? What sort of space do we want it to be? We would love to hear those kind of thoughts or ideas, however big or small.”

The plan is to create something that is still relevant for future generations. “We need to think about what our children want and what our children’s children may need in the future.” If you would like to put ideas forward, email the group: focuswakefield@gmail.com

Bonnie’s big mission to change the world Jonty Dine Reporter

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

Bonnie Hughes is on a mission to change the world and is starting with starving children in sub-Saharan Africa.

The 12-year-old knows how lucky she is to have food every day and she says it’s unfair that others don’t.

So, she set about feeding as many hungry children as she could.

Through articles and speeches, Bonnie helped raise awareness of the daily struggles children in Africa were facing.

“They seemed pretty shocked.”

When World Vision came asking the school if there would be a student ideal to lead a campaign for social change, Bonnie’s name was quickly put forward.

The teachers said Bonnie “loves leading and jumping into opportunities,” and after she met with World Vision representatives, did not hesitate to offer her help.

“I knew I really wanted to help with this,” Bonnie says. “I knew that there were lots of people in the world who did not have life very good and who were struggling, but I didn’t know it was that many and I wanted to make a difference.”

After making students aware of the crisis, Bonnie put on a

Bonnie Hughes has had her story published in the World Vision book ‘Girls who Dared to Dream.’ Photo: Jonty Dine. bake sale and casual clothing day, raising more than $5000.

“I was pretty stoked with that.”

Bonnie also encouraged as many classmates as possible to get involved in the 40-hour famine which saw students give up everyday comforts for 40-hours.

Among the challenges were no technology, no talking, being tied to a friend and, in Bonnie’s case, no furniture for 40-hours.

The young advocate’s mission is far from over as she sets her sights on her next act of altruism.

Before she lands her dream job as Prime Minister, though, she is determined to raise more money for Africa.

Her next mission is to raise funds for the World Vision Smiles programme to provide a community with clean water.

Inspired by her actions, World Vision put Bonnie’s journey into story form.

The international charity published a book title ‘Stories from Girls who Dared to Dream’ in which Bonnie’s story is told.

It’s been produced as part of the ‘1000 Girl’s campaign,’ to help make a positive impact on some of the most vulnerable people in the developing world – girls.

Well-known Kiwis including Clarke Gayford, Helen Clark, Toni Street and Jenny-May Clarkson have each been reading a story from the colourful storybook on their social channels, each night over the past week.

Bonnie was incredibly proud to see her story, which also comes with a full te reo Māori translation.

Artist’s first solo exhibit on display Sara Hollyman An artist who spent 500 hours creating an exhibition says it feels wonderful to see her work on display.

Linda Dimitrievska’s first solo exhibition since graduating is now on display at The Refinery ArtSpace.

‘Cloud of Unknowing’ is a five-metre-long piece of art that incorporates about 300 individually-created heads, along with a cloud and a chair.

“The heads took around an hour each to create, there was a lot of community involvement with the creation and we had lots of lovely conversations about all sorts of things while making them,” Linda says.

She says she didn’t want to tell people too much about what they were looking at.

“When people look at it, what they take often centres around the self or other people.”

She says the best feedback she has had is from someone who is not really an ‘arts’ person.

“At first he wasn’t really sure, then he came back and looked a little bit more, and said ‘I think I get it’. It was so wonderful, that someone who has got nothing much to do with art, can take something away from it.” Linda will host a floor talk on Friday, 3 December at 12.15pm. The exhibition runs until 4 December at the Refinery ArtSpace.

Art campaign brings awareness to gender pay gap Kate Russell A local grassroots campaign to raise awareness about Aotearoa’s gender pay gap has come to the streets of Nelson, and the artists are hoping locals will pay attention to their message.

The anonymous duo behind the guerilla-style poster and social media campaign called ‘Paye Attention’ goes by the name Raspberry Productions.

“Our belief is there should be a zero gender pay gap in Aotearoa,” they say.

The campaign started on Sunday and runs until 5 De-

cember.

“This date aligns with a 9.2 percent gender pay gap where women effectively start working for free.”

The three things which are the focus of the campaign are awareness, equity, and transparency.

“Currently, the average pay gap is 9.2 percent. However, when you look into the statistics, this is on the low side.

For example, for Pasifika women, the gender pay gap widens to 30 percent due to equity issues.

“The issue of pay transparency sits alongside the gender pay gap and this campaign

Raspberry Productions have brought a poster and social media campaign to the region to raise awareness of the gender pay gap.

Photo: Kate Russell. supports a call for transparency across public and private sectors inclusively.”

Ten posters went up around

Nelson, Stoke, and Richmond on Sunday with a QR code directing people to their Instagram page, @_ raspberry_productions.

One of the women says the campaign, which has been two years in the making, came from her own work experience.

“As a woman, I was getting paid less in an organisation than the men. I thought ‘this is the 21st century, I’m a highly educated woman, and yet workplaces are still honouring men’s work over women’s work more’.

“This campaign is really about pinpointing the issue,

raising awareness, and getting a conversation happening. I think lots of people are already aware, but sometimes they keep it at the back of their heads, or they think it’s just ‘how it is’.

“It’s really good to bring it up and discuss it, then maybe some action will happen.”

Joseph O’Connor capped his dominant innings with a six to upset Stoke/Nayland in Tasman Premier League action at the weekend.

O’Connor’s patient 111no steered his side to 236/4 as Taylors Contracting Wanderers-Motueka took the victory with 15 balls to spare.

Earlier, Car Company Stoke/Nayland set a solid total courtesy of Chris Dittimer’s 129 from 123 with 21 fours and two sixes.

Logan Ogilvie took 5/49 to dismiss the hosts in 48 overs before O’Connor took control.

Well supported by a quick-fire 34 from Ogilvie, the pair put on 85 to get Wanderers home and leapfrog their opponents into second spot on the table.

Elsewhere, a brilliant all-round performance from Thomas Zohrab ensured Athletic College Old Boys marked its club day with a 65-run win over the Falcons to maintain its unbeaten run in the competition.

Zohrab top scored with 42 at the top of the order as his side reached 184 from 46 overs.

He then produced two runouts and two wickets, backed up by Mitchell

Cricket: The Central Stags have made a strong start to its Super Smash campaign with a five-wicket win over the Otago Volts at the weekend. A blistering unbeaten century from Dane Cleaver led his side to 185 with Nelson’s Greg Hay also contributing 56.

The Central Hinds weren’t so lucky in their opening encounter against Otago, being edged by just eight runs in Dunedin. Central fell just shy of its target of 135. The Stags will take on the Firebirds at 2:40pm in the capital this Sunday while the Hinds will also meet Wellington in the curtain-raiser at 11:10am.

Bailey’s 3/25.

Twin brother David also chipped in with a superb spell of 2/19 off ten overs and, despite some lower order resistance, the Falcons were dismissed for 119.

At Jubilee Park, Waimea Toi Toi United posted 185 on the back of 53 from Sam Baxendine, but it wasn’t enough as Wakatu claimed a six-wicket win.

Noah Hassan took 4/64 for Wakatu as the hosts were all out with five

balls remaining.

Brad Smith finished unbeaten on 86 with opening partner Nathan Dufeu scoring 42 to set a solid foundation for Wakatu’s second win of the campaign.

Elsewhere, Nelson College was defeated by the Dolphins to remain winless after four rounds. Will Bixley has been consistent with both bat and ball and again produced the top score with 33 with Nelson mustering just 127.

Swimming: Last year’s national ocean swim champions Oxford Bayley of Nelson and Abbey Smale of Richmond returned to the sea for race two of the Rylock series from the Nelson Yacht Club on Thursday. Oxford, 18, had to pull out all the stops for a narrow winner over Hayden Squance, 23, the winner of race one the previous week. Abbey, 18, dominated the other women in the race, cruising into third place overall ahead of the more mature Terry Bone, 49, and 58-year-old Hamish Neill, who just gets faster as he grows older. In the older age groups, Ben Van Dyke,71, stood out with ninth overall, while 80-year-old Derek Eaton finished in the top third of the field. Eileen Searle, 60, is revelling in her new age group with two wins from two so far.

In the short race, Keshia Linyard turned the tables on last week’s winner Keisha Old, who had to be content with third behind Brianna Mckay. Ollie Rooney was the first male home in the short race, stepping up from his second place in race one. Full results and information at nelsonseaswims.co.nz.

Tony grew up playing tennis before he found his calling on the beach.

“I prefer going to the beach on a hot day. Instead of running around a court getting sweaty, I can catch a few waves which seemed like a better option at the time.”

His career began in the summer

On Thursday 2 December at 10am, we are switching on the new traffic signals at Pah Street, Greenwood Street and High Street intersection and the pedestrian signals at the crossing on High Street, north of Wallace Street.

Signalised pedestrian crossing and right hand turn bay on High Street (north of Wallace Street).

On this day, you may notice the lights flashing amber – this is to alert you that the traffic signals will be switched on soon. Once activated, all traffic signals will go red, so that all traffic is stopped. Then the phase sequence will start and you’ll be able to go once you have a green light.

The traffic signals at the Pah Street, Greenwood Street and High Street intersection will also have lights for you to use when crossing the road on foot, like the pedestrian crossing signals on High Street (north of Wallace Street). Before you can cross the road, you’ll need to press the button which will signal that you are waiting to cross. The light display for pedestrians will show a red person and then when it is safe to cross, a green person.

“It is a fairly flat beach and generally pretty safe out there, but I did have one close call.”

Tony says, after a woman got a stand-up paddleboard one year for Christmas, she got in trouble while trying it out.

“She came off out the back and I saw her kicking frantically, so I paddled out and escorted her

Tony Munnerley loves the competitive side of the sport of surf lifesaving but he is ultimately tasked with keeping swimmers safe.

The 52-year-old has been called on a number of times to save people’s lives, among them 13 young schoolchildren who had been swept out to sea in 1992.

Having just finished his university exams, Tony and his friend headed to Taylors Mistake in Christchurch to “chill”.

However, the cries of panicked children saw the pair spring from relaxing into rescue mode.

“The teacher let them go for a swim after lunch break and 13 kids got stuck in a rip,” Tony recalls. “Me and Hamish grabbed some rescue tubes and got them out of trouble.”

The pair were awarded Canterbury Rescue of the Year for their actions.

Tony continues to patrol Aotearoa’s beaches and is currently based at the Nelson Surf LifeSaving Club in Tāhunanui.

Though unlikely to encounter a rescue as dramatic, he and his

ter’s competitor at the Southern Regional (South Island) Champs.

Making things more impressive was the fact a number of these events were open, with the minimum age for masters just 30-year-old.

“I medalled against open teams with some 19-year-old fit bucks, which was pretty good.”

Tony is now setting his sights on Nationals, to be held at New Brighton in March 2022.

A civil engineer and director at Ching Contracting LTD, Tony also spends time sharing his expertise with youth with his two children also involved in the club.

“It’s great to teach kids how to look after themselves in the sea.”

One downside to the local club is the lack of a central base.

Currently based in the Sealord Marine Rescue Centre on Wakefield Quay, lifeguards spend up to three hours setting up and taking down their equipment.

“A proper surf club that would be the real boost we need.”

He encourages anyone with a love of the ocean and competition to join the club.

“It’s a great way to spend summer, learning how to look after yourself and others.”

High demand and staff shortage prompts consents delay

Pick up a Christmas bargain or lend a hand at an op shop

Due to a combination of high demand for services and staff shortages, our consents team have had to set some realistic timeframes in order to assist planning by our customers. Along with other teams across the country, our consenting services have been affected by a shortage of experienced planners.

With the festive season rapidly approaching, now is the perfect time to think about creative ways of gift giving that reduces waste and supports our communities.

Op shops are wonderful places to find unique items for a decent price, all while supporting a worthy community cause and reducing waste.

Over 1,000 consent applications have been lodged since the start of 2021, which has presented significant challenges to our expected timeframes.

We are already entering the busy pre-Christmas holiday time of year with an existing backlog of applications and duty planner queries. With the current staffing constraints, we will not be able to meet all the demand prior to the Christmas break.

Anyone lodging a consent application or requests for duty planning advice after 22 November 2021 will be logged and assigned to a planner as quickly as possible and responded to in the order they are received.

However, it is unlikely that these will be processed until at least 17 January 2022. Our pre-application service will also not be available over this period.

The situation is below the level of service we want to deliver and we know our community deserves.

It is important to provide clarity and as much transparency as possible about our current timeframes so people can plan for and understand the potential delays.

We are working hard to manage the matters within our control to reduce the impacts to our customers and we ask for your patience at this time.

Crescent Street neighbourhood greenway consultation continues Neighbourhood greenways are streets where vehicle numbers and speeds are reduced to create a safer, more pleasant environment for everyone.

After an initial meeting with the residents, we drafted plans and shared them with the residents for feedback. The feedback has been mixed. There are suggestions that some residents would like to see greater parking restrictions, particularly at intersections or blind crests. However, others do not want to see parking removed.

Indicative Focus Area

Share your thoughts on how Richmond South should grow

The fashion industry is responsible for 10 percent of annual global carbon emissions – that’s more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined! By supporting op shops you’re reducing the quantity of textile waste going to landfill, reducing your carbon footprint, and making a positive contribution to local charities doing Tip wonderful s for REDUCE good giving work in our communities.

It’s a win-win solution!

The recently launched ‘Reimagining Richmond South’ project aims to help meet growing housing demand by providing for around 2,000 new homes within the next 20 years in the area south of Richmond towards Hope.

It’s early days for this project. We want to learn your views and work with landowners, businesses, and our communities to explore the future of the Richmond South growth area. To do this, we’ve been running drop-in information sessions at the Hope Hall. If you couldn’t make those events, we would like to get your feedback via our website before Monday 6 December.

Buy fewer clothes, plus buy clothes that are well made and good quality.

Ask yourself, “Will I wear this item 30 times?” #30wears

Have your say on the future of Moutere-Waimea parks and reserves

Are you having a wardrob e clear If so, please consider donating out? pre-loved items to your favourite charity.

Before passing on clothing, ask yourself, would I buy this if I saw it in a charity shop? is no, then it probably shouldn’t If the answer be donated.

Good tips for giving are to make sure: Your items are clean, smell fresh, have no holes, are not pilled or faded.

You drop off items during open hours.

If you have more than a car-load, call the shop to arrange a time to drop off.

However, many of our op shops are in real need of volunteers now, so if you have REUSE & RE-FASHION a bit of time on your hands, why not give your local shop a call and see if you can help?

RECYCLE You’ll find contact numbers for Tasman op shops in our Op Shop Map. CARE & REPAIR Sewing a button, a seam or hemming trousers can give clothing a new lease of life.

If something you love can’t be repaired, why not turn it into something new? Upcycling brings life to something you already new own.

Goods which can’t be reused should be taken to a Tasman District Council Resource Recovery Centre.

The weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday period historically see an increase in applications being lodged and duty planner requests being made to the Council as many of our customers seek information and consents before they head into the Christmas break.

We have an awesome range of op shops and second-hand clothing stores across Tasman District.

There are so many to check out that we’ve created a map so you can easily find the shops closest to you.
