Water savings impress Waimea residents saved around 3 million litres of water last week, much to the pleasure of the Tasman District Council.

A council spokesman says water use was reduced by 25 per cent over the week, which equates to 3 million litres. That came on top of a 20 per cent saving the week before.

“We’re noticing people are making a real effort, whether that’s in urban or rural areas, on lifestyle blocks or businesses,” he says.

“It’s extremely heartening to see the effort a large number of people are making.”

The vast majority of food producers – farmers and growers - were operating within their consents, he says.

Some action had been taken against those people who had breached water use restrictions, with some users fined and abatement notices issued.

Anyone who was concerned that others were breaching wa-

ter restrictions should contact the council, he says, but people needed to be aware that at this stage most farmers and growers were still able to access some of their water takes and just because they were using water did not mean they were operating outside their consent.

Conserving water now was all about eeking out what little there was left, he says. The more effort made now, the greater the likelihood of seeing out the water shortage before more restrictions had to be put in place.

There is a public meeting tonight (Wednesday) to provide residents with greater clarity about what the current situation is, and what measures are being put in place to deal with that.

The meeting will also outline the council’s plans for greater water restrictions for homes and businesses connected to council

Water savings impress ahead of public meeting to discuss next moves FROM PAGE 1 water supplies, should the water supply crisis facing the Waimea Plains worsen over the next few weeks.

Acting engineering services manager Dwayne Fletcher says, while the current stage four restrictions for urban and rural communities of the Waimea Plains would remain the same for now, greater restrictions were inevitable if there was no rain.

“We need to plan for that worstcase scenario because it is looking increasingly likely. We’re in the driest two-month period since records began 78 years ago and there is no significant rain forecast at this stage.”

Dwayne says the council was proposing two further restriction stages if the drought doesn’t break.

The next stage of restrictions would ban topping up commu-

Businesses currently face a 25 per cent cut.

After that, restrictions would escalate to a complete ban on all

water use except for essential household drinking water, food preparation, sanitary needs, animal welfare and firefighting.

The council would enforce a maximum household water allowance of 125 litres per person per day – half of what the average person in Tasman uses.

Dwayne says the restrictions

would remain consistent across the communities of Richmond, Hope, Brightwater, Wakefield, Mapua, Ruby Bay, Redwood Valley and Eight-Eight Valley unless the source water for one area was compromised (for example, by saltwater contamination).

“If that happened, we might have to stop normal supply to peo-

ple’s taps in that area and provide water from distribution points instead – but that would be an absolute last resort if we could no longer physically supply that area.”

In all other circumstances the council would continue to maintain a fully-charged pipe network so water would be available from household taps, he says.

“Obviously we are proposing some very drastic measures here and it’s only fair we provide an opportunity for the community to find out more about why we’re at this point and what we’re going to be asking of people, before any final decisions are made.

After the public meeting, the council will make a final decision about the restrictions at a meeting on Thursday.

The meeting is open to all and is being held at the New Life Church at 85 Wensley Road, Richmond, from 7pm to 9pm.

Waimea Water appoints new chief executive A chief executive officer and two board directors have been appointed by Waimea Water Limited (WWL), the councilcontrolled organisation responsible for building and operating the Waimea Community Dam. Mike Scott will start as chief executive officer with WWL in May. He is currently serving in two executive management roles for Woodside Energy Limited in Australia, including as chief executive officer to the North West Shelf LNG Joint Venture Project.

They are timely appointments, with initial works on the dam, including surveying, planning, and access works, set to start this week.

With more than 27 years postgraduate experience in predominantly the energy sector, Mike has been involved with business and commercial development, strategy, planning, governance, operations, and engineering roles in Australia, Scotland, the United States, and New Zealand.

Mike has been a Richmond resident and ratepayer since 2012 and commutes to his jobs in Australia. He says he’s excited to put his experience and expertise toward leading the team building the dam be-

cause it will contribute significantly to the region’s future in so many ways.

“I recognise this is a large and important project for our re-

Mike Scott gion to undertake,” Mike says.

“As a Tasman resident, I am excited to contribute to our community by ensuring the future of our region’s water security, economic prosperity and the betterment of our environment.”

“Future generations living and working in our region won’t have to experience the difficult drought conditions we are seeing right now. I look forward to the day that we all look back and think, similar to Nelson’s Maitai Dam, that Tas-

man made a sound decision that supports the future of our region.”

Two directors have also recently been appointed to the Waimea Water board. Andrew Spittal is a director and shareholder in a number of local companies and a national company. Andrew is Ngati Koata’s nominated board director and brings a range of knowledge of the local civil construction industry, which he has been a part of for well over 25 years.

David Wright is a company director, management consultant and chief executive. He is currently chairman of Wellington Water Limited and a director of the Waikato District Council Waters Governance Board, both council-controlled organisations providing drinking water, stormwater and waste -water services. He is a previous acting chief executive of Palmerston North City Council.

Board chairwoman Karen Jordan says the organisation’s leadership is of a very high calibre and the entire team is now working toward the start of construction. The now complete board includes two highly experienced dam engineers, a farmer, and a horticulturalist with long ties to the area.

Forest Fire concert on track

It’s all hands on deck as organisation for the Forest Fire concert featuring the Waratahs gets under way.

The concert is set for March 23 at the Richmond showgrounds and plans are under way to have a walk-by involving all of the available responders, who will then be around for a bit of a mingle and chat.

The concert starts at around 2 pm, with a number of local bands on the bill, including popular duo Dust and Gold.

Waratahs drummer Michael Knapp is assuring crowds of a great concert and says the band is genuinely looking forward to getting up and playing in front of our locals.

Entry for responders and immediate family members is free with a nominal charge for the public of $10 per adult and $5 per child.

People are encouraged to bring chairs and picnic blankets. There will be food vendors on site, or people can bring their own food.

All funds raised will be going to the Mayoral Relief Fund to help compensate those who were financially strained during the fire.

Fire shows danger still there Helicopters with monsoon buckets supported ground crews to contain a fire that began on the side of the Moutere Highway last Wednesday afternoon.

The four crews and five helicopters had a busy time in windy conditions but successfully brought the fire, which at its height covered about seven hectares, under control that evening.

Incident Controller Rory Renwick says the fire showed that there is still an extreme fire danger in Tasman-Nelson and people need to be extremely vigilant about any activity which might spark off another fire.

Around 100 properties were evacuated and police put up cordons at the intersections of Maisey Rd and Moutere Highway, and Old Coach Rd and Moutere Highway.

Police have confirmed that during the evacuation one property was burgled.

Police have appealed for information about someone seen running down Eban Rd in Redwood Valley on Wednesday about 2pm.

Meanwhile, this Friday, March 8, Nelson-Tasman Civil Defence is holding a debrief of everyone involved in last month’s Pigeon Valley bushfire.

It’s an opportunity to get information from different agencies, including Ministry for Primary Industries, Ministry of Social Development, Fire and Emergency New Zealand, Inland Revenue, iwi, the Insurance Council New Zealand, Nelson Marlborough Health and Civil Defence.

The debrief is at the Hope Community Church from 3pm to 8pm.

State of Emergency lifted Teams reaching out Outreach teams have been visiting people who were evacuated from Pigeon Valley and other fire-affected valleys an now returned home.

Tasman District Council recovery manager Richard Kirby says the outreach teams, a collaboration between local rural support trusts, Red Cross and the Ministry for Primary Industries, carry out a needs assessment to identify how each household is faring and what support they might need over coming weeks.

“Water supplies and worsening drought are on everyone’s minds,” Richard says. “Our teams are armed with the latest information from the Tasman District Council about water restrictions and options.”

The Rural Support Trust, usually focused on farmers and growers, are visiting larger farms with information about drought management for their animals and crops.

Barbara Stuart, co-ordinator for the Rural Support Trust, says farmers with less experience of this kind of weather event are finding the farm, feed and animal welfare information handy.

“It does mean that we are having some tough conversations about destocking, but we are here to help people with their options.

“It’s not easy for people who are still on alert for further fires, but we are all here to help those strong communities get through.”

Drought-affected rural people in the Tapawera area are invited to an informal evening at the Tapawera Rugby Club on March 14 at 6pm.

Those affected are encouraged to come along for a barbecue and beverage.

The Tasman district is moving into a recovery phase after the Civil Defence State of Emergency was lifted last week.

The Tasman District Council says there are three main areas it will be focusing on during the recovery phase: continuing to fight the fire; welfare; and assessing fire damage and damage by machines used to contain the

fire.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand will continue to work to put out the fire completely. This may take a few weeks or potentially months depending on the weather.

Civil Defence and the Tasman District Council are supporting those affected by the fire, as well as offering advice to anyone who needs it.

They will be doing welfare as-

Richmond’s water supply has been chlorinated for the past week. Following a positive bacteria result in one of the Tasman District Council’s Richmond reservoirs, the scheme was chlorinated as a precautionary step from last Tuesday evening. The council says chlorination will remain in place while it investigates and addresses the bacteria. Some customers near Champion Road had already been receiving chlorinated water from Nelson.

Gladstone Road maintenance The NZ Transport Agency is replacing sections of asphalt surface on Gladstone Road (State Highway 6) in Richmond, approximately between Queen Street lights and the Jubilee Park pedestrian crossing.

Work, which involves road maintenance and an asphalt seal, began on Sunday and is scheduled to finish on Friday, March 15.

It will be done between 7pm to 7am to minimise traffic disruption. Traffic management and speed restrictions, down to 30km/hour, will be in place, but during the day the road will return to its posted speed limit of 50km/h, with all lanes open.

A spokesperson says residents whose property access is directly affected by the road works should stop at the end of their driveway and wait for instructions from staff on-site before driving on to Gladstone Road.

People should also make sure their vehicles are not parked on the road when work is going on, while pets should be kept indoors if possible.

From death’s door to published writer Margarita Giles is an adventurer, a stroke survivor, and very soon she will be a published writer.

Margarita is launching her book Inca Magic on March 12 at the Richmond Library.

Tasman District libraries manager Glennis Coote says “Marg is one of the most adventurous and inspiring people you will ever meet.

“Not only was she a tour guide to some of South America’s most remote places, she also suffered a severe stroke and overcame huge

obstacles to regain her speech and mobility. The book she has now written is a testament to her determination and perseverance.”

Margarita always dreamed of travelling as a child, “I’d look out from St Clair Beach near Dunedin and long to head to the Amazon!

“As an adult I went on to lead hundreds of intrepid travellers on ‘out there’ or ‘risky’ adventures in South America,” says Margarita.

A severe stroke at the age of 61 meant that Margarita has had to

spend the last ten years working hard to use her same strength of character which saw her travel to risky and remote places to regaining her mobility, speech and her sense of self.

“Writing Inca Magic has been part of that process.”

A big part of Marg’s journey was the writing group that she started at the Richmond Library, at the beginning of last year.

The group meets on the third Tuesday of every month and features guest speakers and writing

workshops. Another big part of Marg’s journey has been the support from Copy Press in Richmond, helping her set goals and publishing her book.

The book launch of Inca Magic by Margarita Giles will take place at Richmond Library from 5.30pm6.30pm on Tuesday, March 12.

There will be cash book sales available.

The launch of Inca Magic is an opportunity to meet the author and share in the success of her recovery.

Apples smaller in size but big in flavour Like all Waimea businesses involved in food production, apple growers have had a tough time over the past couple of months, with dry conditions and cuts in water takes affecting fruit growth.

That has meant apple sizes are smaller than normal but the upside of that is they are packed full of flavour, with sugar content concentrated.

Picking this year’s harvest began around the middle of last month and David Easton of Easton Apples, which has orchard blocks in Appleby and Mariri, near Motueka, says from what he has seen so far it’s a beautiful crop, with apples firm but tasty.

Early harvest crops, such as the smitten variety, have been smaller but sweeter than usual, he says, while royal gala is looking “absolutely stunning”.

Easton Apples employs just over 60 workers through the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme.

There’s also 10 support staff and a handful of locals picking at Easton’s 70 hectares in the Appleby area and 10ha at Mariri.

Picking is expected to take until the end of April.

During that time it’s expected 13,000 bins of apples will be picked, with each bin taking about 380 to 400kg, depending on variety. That’s slightly down on what was budgeted for last July.

The apples are exported around the world, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and Malaysia, although about 35 per cent of the best quality apples are kept for retailers around the South Island.

Critical water shortage continues – plea to increase savings Last week’s Tasman District Council Dry Weather Taskforce kept water restrictions for this week much the same as before, after much hoped for rain failed to appear.

Dry Weather Taskforce convenor Dennis Bush-King says rain 10 days ago was minimal and only had a minor effect.

“Most of our rivers are now back to the same very low flow levels they were at last week.

It also had a negligible effect on our groundwater aquifers, which continue to decline.”

Dennis says the community effort to save water is helping, and it was clear most people – both urban and rural – are taking the need to comply with restrictions and conserve water seriously.

The bund across the lower Waimea River helped prevent saltwater intrusion into the aquifers during the recent king tides, he says.

“It is getting to the point where it has probably done as much as it can to protect our water supply from salt contamination and we’ll be keeping a close eye on the effect it’s having on the river.”

The Kainui Dam, which provides water to permit holders in the Wai-iti area, is getting low, with only about two weeks of supply left, Dennis says.

“We’ll be meeting with those served by the dam to see what options we may have for continuing their supply.”

Dennis said water sharing arrangements were possible in the areas under Stage 4 restrictions (65 per cent cut), for permit holders within the same water management zone, to allow users to make the best use of remaining water allocations.

“We’re happy to consider that as long as the overall restriction for the zone is still met.

Anyone wanting to take advantage of a water sharing agreement can contact the council for more information.”

Acting engineering services manager Dwayne Fletcher says urban communities had risen to the challenge to conserve water.

“There’s been a big change in demand, which is fantastic.

Unfortunately, because there is no significant rain on the

horizon, we need everyone to save even more water – collect every drop you use in the house and repurpose it for cleaning or flushing the toilet or watering the garden.

“I don’t think there are many people left who genuinely aren’t trying to do their bit, but there are a few and they are putting the rest of the community’s water supply at risk now.”

Dwayne says dry, cracked earth meant underground water pipes were at greater risk of moving and breaking than usual.

People should check their properties for leaks, and get into the habit of reading their meters to help identify a spike in water use that could signal a leak.

Anyone who sees a leak in a public area should let the council know straight away, he says.

The council is carrying out proactive leak detection. Leaks are being dealt with as a priority but if multiple leaks happen at once, the ones where the most water is being lost are fixed first.

Winning boat has explosive past It didn’t get in the water, but its presence alone was enough for Aurora to win the top prize at the NZ Antique and Classic Boat Show at Lake Rotoiti over the weekend.

There was perfect weather and an air of celebration for the 20th anniversary of the popular event, with over 130 clinkers, steam launches, classic motorboats and sailing dinghies attracting a record crowd of over three thousand boating fans.

Event director Pete Rainey says the Aurora captured the essence of the boat show as a boat with classic lines and a story to tell.

“Over the past 20 years the Jens Hansen trophy for best vessel overall has gone to all sorts of boats - from perfectly restored craft to real workhorses of the sea,” he says.

Aurora, a 1934 clinker, was built by Martin Monopoly and used to carry explosives from the powder magazine on the Boulder Bank for the construction of Rocks Road.

“Aurora is a great winner for our 20th year and will be familiar to older Nelsonians – when her work as an explosives tender was done she became an excursion boat for trips to Haulashore Island and the Lighthouse and was then handed over to the sea scouts,” says Pete.

Aurora has undergone an extensive restoration after being bought by Nelson man Dave Gallop in 2011.

“When I found her she was in a sorry

He says he was shocked by the win.

“I was a bit embarrassed actually because we had a 70th birthday party to attend in Nelson so missed the awards ceremony ,but I was very surprised.”

Pete says both days over the weekend had seen bigger crowds than usual at the Lake.

“We’ve sailed on through some pretty poor weather in the past without ever cancelling so it was great for us to have two perfect days,” he says. “There’s no doubt we have a winning formula with displays on the land in the morning and the opportunity to chat to boat owners, then races on the lake in the afternoon.”

One fishing platform in use before it was damaged. Photo: Supplied.

e l p o e p d o o f h s e Y ou r f r Children’s fishing platforms vandalised Platforms that allow fishing opportunities for disabled and wheelchair children at fishing ponds on the Waimea River in the Appleby berm park area have been vandalised. A spokesman for the Sport Fishing for Youth Trust says some of the flooring boards that are part of the platforms have been stolen, while those remaining have been damaged.

“It is incredible that some vandals would steal this timber and deprive some special needs children

of the opportunity to participate in an outdoor activity which they would not normally be able to do,” he says, adding that it looks like the damage was done on either Friday, March 1 or Saturday, March 2.

The trust hopes to have the platforms repaired prior to the next fishing days in early April, although the timing of future fishing days was dependent on the weather. At present the access road to the ponds is closed due to the dry conditions and the fire danger.

Climate change ‘huge issue’ for region Fifty-five local councils, including the Tasman District Council, have signed up to the Local Government Leaders Climate Change Declaration, which says that councils must acknowledge the importance and urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generations The declaration states that councils will promote walking, cycling, public transport and other low-carbon transport options, and support the use of renewable energy and electric vehicles.

Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne says that climate change is a huge issue for the Tasman region, and something that needs to be addressed by the council. “For me to deny climate change, I’d have to have my head buried pretty far in the sandpit.”

Richard says you don’t have to look much further than the climate-related events that have been plaguing the Tasman region in the last few years.

“This year in February we have had the worst drought in recorded history for this region, and last year we had severe flooding from Cyclone Gita in different parts of the region.”

“In the years that I’ve been mayor, civil defence has declared a state of emergency five times.

The previous mayor had no state of emergencies.

“So I think it shows how climate related events are becoming more frequent.”

Before Richard signed the agreement, he took it to the other council members to make sure that they all agreed that it was in the best interests of everyone.

He says the agreement is constantly driving council plans and developments, and that he believes that different areas should have different focuses.

“One of the commitments in the agreement is more of a commitment to public transport and alternatives to cars. While we have great walking and cycling infrastructure, a huge push for public transport in the Tasman district wouldn’t really work for us.

“Instead, we have other areas that we can focus on, like what we are doing in the agriculture industry, and how we can sustainably plan new developments.

“It’s about being realistic and say ‘what can we do as a community’ because it has to be driven by all of us. We want to take the community with us.”

The council has several projects designed around reducing emissions, such as the change to LED street lighting, the Emission Trading Scheme in forestry, composting and e-waste reduction subsidies, and energy reduction through thermal design of buildings.

The declaration commits those councils that have signed it to work with central government to deliver on national emission reduction targets.

According to the declaration, these strategies are to be based on sound science.

The science cited is the NIWA climate change and variability report released for the Tasman District Council in 2015. This report outlines that New Zealand has warmed by 0.9 +/-0.3

degrees since 1909, as well as a rise in sea level of 190 mm since 1900. The report outlines that for areas in New Zealand experiencing drought, there is a predicted 5 per cent increase in drought frequency by mid century and 10 per cent by 2090.

The agreement states that the actions taken by local councils will result in substantial benefits for communities, such as creating new jobs and busi-

ness opportunities, creating a more competitive and future proof economy, reducing air pollution and supporting local biodiversity.

Along with that, the council is using the agreement to drive its planning, such as planning infrastructure so as to reducing need for car use with good urban design, and focusing on pedestrian links and cycleways around urban centres such as Richmond.

Whio programme breeds for release Three young whio/blue ducks were last week the first to be released into the Wangapeka-Fyfe Whio Security Site in Kahurangi National Park as part of a new “breed for release” programme to boost whio numbers.

In the programme, five adult whio pairs living at wildlife centres breed whio for release into South Island rivers.

The Wangapeka -Fyfe Whio Security Site receives funding from the Whio Forever programme that is a partnership between Genesis and the Department of Conservation (DOC).

DOC Motueka manager Ivan Rogers says the new captive breeding programme should enable fast growth in whio numbers in this area of Kahurangi National Park over the coming years.

He says captive whio lay between four and eight eggs and they can produce two or three clutches in a breeding season. To

encourage the whio pairs to produce more clutches, eggs from their first one or two clutches are taken from them after 10 days of incubation to be hatched and raised at The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust in Christchurch.

Cam Speedy, Genesis senior environmental co-ordinator and adviser to the Whio Forever technical committee, says the breed for release programme only works because of the extensive predator control network in the region, along with the dedication of the DOC whio experts.

“The South Island presents different challenges to the North Island in terms of whio protection in that the river systems and catchments are so much bigger. This means the number of traps required to protect the area has to significantly increase,” he says, adding that the ducklings have a much better chance of survival today than even a Department of Conservation Motueka manager Ivan Rogers releases a whio last week.

critical water shortage COMMUNITY MEETING If you get your household or business water from the Tasman District Council supply in the Waimea area you’re invited to a community meeting to talk about the next set of restrictions that are proposed if it doesn’t rain.

When and where

The meeting will cover the likely restrictions that will affect residents and businesses in: • Richmond

• Wakefield

• Hope

• Dovedale/Moutere

• Brightwater

• Redwood Valley

• Mapua/Ruby Bay

• Eighty-Eight Valley

Wednesday 6 March, 7.00 pm – 9.00 pm. Richmond New Life Church, 85 Wensley Road, Richmond. The church can accommodate about 300 people.

Live stream

This is an opportunity to find out more about the drought, its effect on our water sources, and for you to provide feedback on proposed restrictions.

The meeting will be livestreamed on the Tasman District Council Facebook page.

More information More information is on the Tasman District Council website – head to www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback.

BEAT THE MAYOR! HOLD UP. PUT DOWN THE BRICKS AND BATS. What we mean is: Beat the mayor’s water-saving efforts!

Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne reckons he’s pretty awesome at water conservation. He and wife Jane have reduced their household water use to 97 litres per day. That’s less than a fifth of the water used by the average two-person household in Tasman District.

But we think you can beat him! To give you a head-start, we’ve tricked Richard into revealing all his water-saving tricks.

January 2019 household daily water use: 350 litres per day Current household daily water use: 97 litres per day

Here’s how he did it: •

Read water meter regularly

•

•

Only water garden with recycled shower water

Boil jug for hot water rather than run tap

•

Wash dishes in a container then reuse water on garden

•

Replace leaky outdoor tap

•

Full washing machine loads only

•

Full dishwasher loads only

•

Shower every second day

•

Short showers – turn water on briefly to wet down. Soap, shampoo. Turn water on briefly to rinse off.

Doesn’t sound too hard right?

03 543 8400 www.tasman.govt.nz

The grand prize If you can beat Richard, you’ll get the chance to take him down in person. Anyone who can top his water saving will earn the chance to dunk Richard in the Richmond Aquatic Centre pool.

Sue Birchfield and Nicole Russell were two of the artists who took part in the How Great Thou Art exhibition at the Richmond Baptist Church last month. Just under 20 local artists had work on display during the two-day exhibition, which raised money to support PACT (Parents and Children Together), a community counselling service. There was also a donation box for contributions towards counselling for children who found it difficult to deal with the effects of the recent bushfires on their lives.

In just a few months, Kai With Love has grown from one man in a van, to now operating out of The Centre - the Richmond Community Church building.

The group has mushroomed to hundreds involved in distributing food to those who need it. Inspiration comes from the scripture verse that says, “Do not despise this small beginning, for the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see the work begin.”

Just a thought…

Ross Ferguson Richmond Community Church Throughout history the church has made a remarkable contribution to society and it continues to do so in so many areas including education, health, social welfare, in the arts and the media and much more.

It shouldn’t surprise us, because it was Jesus who said: “I will build my church and the power of death will not overpower it!”

It is not my church or our church that we are building, but it is his church.

The church that I see is not built with bricks and mortar, but it is being built into the lives of men, women and young people who are discovering that there is a God who speaks into every situation, transforming lives giving hope and purpose.

I will never forget a quote from some wise old Russian men who were discussing why the Russian revolution happened with the deaths of 8 million people and they concluded “we have forgotten God!” Many will blame God or ‘the church,’ often for good reason. I guess there is one reason and that is because it was God who made us with the freedom to choose between good and evil, to choose his way or our way.

Consequently, we will still make mistakes and let ourselves and others down, but despite our faults and flaws, the church is growing and making a difference in many cities and nations.

In fact, the church is growing fastest where there has been persecution of Christians. The rapid growth of the church in China over the last few decades has been well documented and now this trend continues in many other countries in Asia and the Middle East.

Here in the Richmond/Waimea region there is a diverse yet healthy Christian community and a wonderful spirit of unity and co-operation that flows between the churches and into the community.

We cover the spectrum of church denominations and ‘streams,’ from catholic to protestant, evangelical, charismatic, pentecostal and traditional, representing individuals and families of diverse cultural backgrounds.

We are in a season where God is tearing down walls, building bridges and forging new relationships.

This is happening because what unites us is far greater than anything that divides us.

We are one church, made up of interdependent fellowships with the common task of preaching one gospel and making Jesus Christ known as the ‘Hope of the World’.

He is the only one who can offer a lasting hope. He is the author of life and his word of hope is able to bring light into the darkest places. That dark place may be your own inner world, or it may be a nation that has suffered years of oppression or repression.

I invite you to visit a church this month and you will discover that God is alive and he is building his church.

You may never have been to a local church or you may have become disillusioned and stopped attending.

Better still, become involved and become part of the change that you want to see. Why don’t you check out the churches that are listed below and discover for yourself.

Watch this space and follow this regular monthly church news feature and read about what is happening in your local community.

It’s all good.

Friday, 8 March International Women’s Day is the UN’s special day for women – a day that has been officially dedicated to the rights of women since 1975, although it was recognised long before then. It was first celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland in 1911 and in some countries it was soon established as a public holiday.

International Women’s Day is annually marked in New Zealand, with the help of affiliated organisations which hold events across the country and is usually a breakfast forum

to hear from local or national speakers on issues that affect women, to celebrate women’s achievements and to enjoy each other’s company and support. The forums also raise funds for UN Women NZ’s projects for the advancement of women and to receive message from the UN Secretary General, the Executive Director of UN Women, the UN Women NZ President and UN Women NZ patrons.

The 2019 theme for International Women’s Day is think equal, build smart, innovate

Harrier events closely fought with Mt Roberts track a challenging descent

Winners of the Mt Robert Mountain Run were Chris Sharland (left) and Karen Goodger. Photo: Supplied.

Competition was fierce between the top pairs of runners at the Eddyline 5km Maple-Saxton course last Wednesday, with Chris Sharland, 18 minutes and 16 seconds, holding off Rick Muir by only five seconds and Colette Read, 21.32, heading off Carys Coleman by 16 seconds.

In the walk, Steve Pauling finished just one second ahead of Ian Courtenay,

Nelson Matters I have never experienced such an angry response from Nelsonians to a Government proposal as I have over the past week to Labour’s Capital Gains Tax (CGT).

People from all walks of life have been shocked to find in the detail how unfair this new tax would be.

There are 50,000 people in Nelson and Tasman in Kiwisaver.

These savings are invested by fund managers in shares. Labour’s new CGT applies annually to any increase in the value of these shares, eroding the returns to Kiwisavers. An earner on the average wage contributing

the minimum 2% into Kiwisaver over their working life will be $64,000 worse off at retirement from this new tax. The cost is much more if you earn or contribute more. There is no point in Government encouraging people into schemes like Kiwisaver if the Government is then going to raid those funds with new taxes.

Homeowners have also been surprised to find they can be hit with CGT despite Government assurances that the family home will be exempt. The new tax can apply if a household has flatmates, boarders, or has been used as an AirBnB. It also applies if the

house is used as an office, for a business, or is a lifestyle block.

There are over 2,000 Nelson and Tasman households that have a boarder or a flatmate. These homeowners use this extra income to help pay the mortgage, rates and insurance bills. I have had distraught calls in the last week from a sole parent who has a boarder, a widow who takes in foreign students and a young couple who have flatmates. How can Labour say it is fair that these kiwi battlers pay the CGT on their home but those living in multi-million dollar mansions do not?

gall (walkers), were unchallenged over the 6.5km course.

The annual Mt Robert Mountain Run was held on Sunday with runners heading up Pinchgut Track to Bushline Hut, then downhill to the lakeside track and back to the DOC centre, a distance of 17 kilometres.

Weather conditions were excellent, with clear skies and stunning views. While

the track was hard and dry, a newly-shingled section on the descent proved slippery and difficult to negotiate. Chris Sharland was the clear winner in 1 hour 48 minutes and 49 seconds, with Andrew Goodger 2nd and Simon Biss 3rd. Karen Goodger was first woman home in in 2.22.49, with Viv Rounc and Ursula Schwarzenbach in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

Lifestyle block owners have also been in touch questioning why they are being targeted. The CGT applies to any block of land over 0.45ha, even if it is the family home. There are over 1,000 in Nelson and Tasman. These owners feel aggrieved that their home property is subject to the CGT but not those with much more valuable home properties in towns or cities.

The greatest concern about the CGT has come from Nelson’s 4,000 small businesses. Labour has no grasp of the hard work and risk involved or any appreciation of the 20,000 jobs they pro-

vide locally. Not every business is successful. It is unfair that if a small business is sold at a profit, tax must be paid, but if there is a loss, there is no refund. The Government is playing heads we win, tails you lose. Nor is it fair that Maori land and iwi businesses are to be exempt.

Labour’s CGT discourages saving and enterprise. It punishes people who work hard and take risks to get ahead. It increases the tax burden on our region by $130 million a year and will make us all poorer. Nelson does not need this unfair new tax.

Sport Twins set sights on White Ferns www.shuttersport.co.nz

Jonty Dine They may look identical, but Anna and Kate Gaging have very contrasting roles in their numerous cricket teams.

The 17-year-old Waimea College twins represent no less than five sides, having enjoyed a rapid rise in a sport they took up only five years ago.

The pair hope to make history and become the first set of identical twins to represent the White Ferns.

Anna, an opening bowler and middle order batswoman, and Kate, a wicketkeeper who opens or bats at first drop, represent the Wakatu women’s team, Nelson U18s, the Nelson Nixons and Central Districts U18 and U21s.

They say it can sometimes be exhausting to keep up with so much cricket.

“We had four tournaments over the summer holidays alone.”

However, their drive to be the best in the world sees them spending hours training together

Anna and Kate Gaging hope to be the first set of identical twins to play for the White Ferns. Photo: Jonty Dine. at Ben Cooper Park.

Anna wants to be the fastest female bowler alive while Kate wants to be able to whip the bails off faster than any other woman playing the game.

Anna is currently clocking

around 115km/h and is striving to match it with White Fern Leah Tahuhu, who currently holds the title of fastest female.

“That’s what I aspire to be one day, she recently hit 128 so I want to get to 129.”

Meanwhile, at the other end of the pitch, Kate has been sharpening her skills keeping wicket to some of the best bowlers going around in the game, including White Ferns Rosemary Mair and Jess Watkins.

Kate says she wants to emulate English keeper Sarah Taylor’s lighting quick stumping ability.

“She’s just as fast as any of the men.”

A genuine all-rounder, Kate also bowls off-spin, adding another string to her bow.

The girls say even teammates struggle to tell them apart at times.

“They tend to be a bit lazy in telling us apart and just call us ‘Anna-Kate’.”

A pitfall of the twins’ similarities comes when batting together with a number of partnerships ending in a run out.

“We will often say ‘yes, no’ at the same time.

“Also, we are both quite stubborn,” says Kate.

Also gifted volleyballers, the pair

dropped all other sporting commitments this year to focus on cricket.

They have been competing against men at club level due to a lack of female players.

“Other districts have women’s leagues, but I think playing against the men can be quite beneficial because there is a lot more pace and a few more sixes,” Kate says.

Anna says the women’s game is quite different.

“Women bowl a lot fuller to compensate for lack of pace and they swing it a lot more in my experience.”

Both say they want to make the Central Hinds side this season with the greater goal of becoming White Ferns.

If that dream was to become a reality, they would be the first identical twins to play for the national side.

New Zealand twins Elizabeth and Rose Signal were the first twins to play in a test together, at Headingley against England in 1984.

Rugby grounds closed for season’s start Jonty Dine With the region’s sports grounds resembling an African savannah, codes have had to get creative with the seasons fast approaching.

Water restrictions have meant little or no irrigation to fields, leaving several them of rock hard and posing a risk to player safety.

Jubilee Park in Richmond, Centennial Park in Brightwater, Tahuna Fields, Greenmeadows, and Endeavour Park will all be out of action for at least the first three rounds of the Tasman Trophy, affecting Waimea Old Boys, Wanderers, Marist and Stoke.

The clubs will be spread around Neale, Sports Park in Motueka and Riwaka Sportsground in Nelson, and Lansdowne, Awatere and Renwick Parks in Marlborough.

Tasman Rugby Union competition manager Steve Mitchell says, despite the drought, the rugby season will commence as scheduled.

“It’s certainly, the worst I’ve seen in 30 years, but we have adjusted the draw to play games at those fields available.”

Tasman Rugby Union competitions manager Steve Mitchell demonstrates how hard the ground at Jubilee Park is as a result of the region’s drought. Photo: Jonty Dine.

With NZR and the Mitre 10 Cup dictating the season window, Tasman Rugby Union had little choice but to forge ahead with the scheduled start date of March 16.

“The big clubs are all affected, everyone is aware of it and understands the situation.”

Steve says they must be prepared to be flexible about who plays who and where, and is confident the fields that have been made available won’t pose a risk to players.

“Safety is a concern, but we have addressed that to the best of our ability.”

The union has faced similar issues as recently as last

year when Trafalgar Park was made unavailable due to the All Blacks test.

“We are a proactive organisation that works with stakeholders to find solutions.”

The drought adds further stress to what has been a dramatic month for Nelsonians.

“I live in Upper Moutere, between the water shortage and the fires, it’s just been surreal.”

Nelson City Council parks and facilities manager Tim Skinner says football should be unaffected, with a scheduled April 1 season kick-off.

He says he will be liaising with a number of clubs in the coming weeks.

Club Waimea player Karen Mears lines up a throw during the ladies pairs competition.

Darts event successful

Last week’s Clubs New Zealand South Island Darts Championships at Club Waimea was a very successful event, organisers say, with some great darts thrown and everyone having a great time It was the first time the event had been played in Richmond and the tournament attracted about 240 players from 23 different clubs around the South Island.

Waimea ladies singles player Jocelyn Douthett finished 9th equal in the main round and was selected as reserve for the South Island team to compete at Nationals in Hamilton in July.

Barbara Bryson finished 5th equal in the plate round of the same event.

In the ladies pairs, Jocelyn, along

with Liz Armstrong, placed 5th equal in the main round, while in the ladies pairs plate, Barbara, with Karen Thomas, placed 5th equal.

Helen Goaten and Nicola Turner came 3rd equal in the same event.

In the men’s singles Sam Thompson placed 5th equal in the main round out of 135 entries, while in the pairs Sam and Kelvin Mears made it into the semi-finals in the main round.

Also in the main round of the pairs, Glenn Turner and Bevin Coleman placed 9th equal.

In the junior girls Nicola Turner was runner-up, while in the junior boys Joel Hawkins came 3rd equal.

Karen Thomas, who spent a lot of time organising the event, was awarded the personality trophy.

The team’s rich history has been bolstered this year by the addition of new talent to the club.

Their success as a team is evident as they come off the back of a South Island tournament win in January.

There, they took out the final of the Jim Kaat Invitational tournament in Christchurch over the local Astros club team.

Coach Marty Grant is excited about the team’s prospects.

“They have been working hard, and with the wealth of knowledge amongst the team they are in as good a position

as they can be to contest the title.”

The Club Nationals tournament is being held at Auckland’s Lloyd Elsmore and War Memorial Parks, 7-10th March.

Nelson Heat wishes to sincerely thank all the sponsors listed here for their generous support to help get this team
