Concerns over Queen St upgrade

“
Simon Bloomberg Inconvenience for customers, loss of profits and parking spaces and dust and grit on their premises are the main concerns that Richmond businesses have about plans to upgrade the stormwater system in Queen Street. The Tasman District Council is planning to start excavating Queen St in August next year to replace the street’s ageing stormwater system and lower its profile, as part of a $13.9 million project to improve flood protection in Richmond. Richmond Unlimited met with council late last month to discuss their concerns to ensure the impact of the project on the town’s businesses is minimised. A survey of Richmond Unlimited’s members has shown that inconvenience to customers was the top ranked issue, with 59 per cent of the 52 respondents saying they were “very concerned”.

if they don’t do the work and there’s a flood that will be a disaster. - Richmond Unlimited chair Brent Cheyne.
Loss of profit at 56 per cent, dust and grit entering premises (50 per cent), loss of parking spaces during construction (37 per cent), noise (34 per cent), damage to property (27 per cent) and vibration (22 per cent) were also major concerns. One retailer expressed concern that construction will stop potential clients from coming to Richmond while another considered the disruption could “push retailers into insolvency”. One business owner says they are concerned about “the loss of income when retail is already a massive struggle”.

Concerns over Queen St upgrade FROM PAGE 1
However, Richmond Unlimited’s chairman Brent Cheyne says the majority of their members recognise the project is necessary after Richmond was devastated by flooding in April 2013. The one-in-500 year flood inundated businesses in Queen St and Oxford St causing extensive damage and costing businesses millions of dollars. “Over half of the businesses who responded to the survey were flooded in 2013 and that’s why this work has to be done. Our role is to make sure council hears our concerns so that they can minimise the impact on our members.” Brent says he’s satisfied that council appears committed to the consultation process and “genuinely interested” in receiving feedback from Queen St businesses.

Reducing the speed of vehicles on Queen St (69 per cent), wider footpaths (59 per cent) and more trees (73 per cent) were all favoured by businesses. Council is now consulting with the wider public, last week saying it wants the feedback to “help us with the final design of Queen St” focusing on street furniture, lighting, signage, the type of road and pavement surfaces and safety and access issues. The form is available at council’s office in Richmond and online at tasman.govt.nz with submissions due by February 29.

fully understand the job has to be done but am hoping that it will be done as quickly as possible.” The council’s programme delivery manager Russell McGuigan says construction is likely to start next August and will take about a year to finish. He says they plan to complete most of the work in stages to minimise the impact on individual businesses. “We want to minimise the disruption to shops in Richmond which is why we plan to do it in sections with eight different construction zones. The zones will be shop front to shop front and the key is that any one section is disrupted for the shortest time possible. “We are targeting a start in August and, at this stage, we are looking at doing three months work and then stopping over the holiday period and then resuming in February.

He also says that Lego sales have gone from strength to strength in the past few years. “December Lego sales have increased 175 per cent from 2008 to 2014, and we expect to see another jump this year.” Other popular searches include adult colouring-in books, drones and Fitbit activity trackers, and Logan says he expects to see a big jump in sales for these in the next few weeks. Gifts that have fallen off the radar from last Christmas include selfie sticks, dogs and puppies, go-carts, Frozen and Minecraft toys and clothing.

Boat-flip launch a Nelson first What looked like a boat launch gone horribly wrong, actually went swimmingly on Tuesday with the hull of a new inshore trawler now afloat in Port Nelson ready to be fitted out. The newly constructed hull entered the water upside down before being flipped upright by a tug
in what was a first for the Nelson boat building industry. The boat is being constructed by Port Nelson engineering company Aimex Service Group and chief executive Steve Sullivan says the upside down launch was “the easiest and safest” way to get the hull in the water.
“We usually lift it up by crane and flip it in the air but didn’t really want 80 tonnes in the air so we put it in upside down. It was all sealed and then the tug came and righted it.” Steve says the boat is expected to be completed and ready for delivery by July next year. It is the

tive Carl Carrington says the six boats will be completed over the next few years at a total cost of $25-30million. He says the new boats will provide a much-needed boost to the country’s ageing inshore fishing fleet which has an average vessel age of 40.

Lifestyle Block Farmers It is often said that we are not Lifestyle Block Farmers but “Life Sentence Block Holders,” but whatever way you look at it, you will only get out of it what you put in. You can make it as easy or as difficult as you please, but we should never forget the reason we chose this lifestyle in the first place. Our main responsibility is to look .after the livestock that we run and that means adequate feed in all four seasons of the year. Now this can be difficult in the Nelson/Tasman area with our dry summers, when feed is hard to come by, especially if irrigation is not available. Another problem we commonly have is ‘how much is too much’
when it comes to purchasing machinery or equipment for these blocks. Do I need a fertiliser spreader or my own spraying unit for these jobs, or do I employ someone to do it for me? Whatever decision you make will depend on your own personal circumstances. We have a number of options here at Fe r t i l i z e r NZ with Lifestyle Mixes especially for small block holders that will give excellent grass growth and good healthy animals. We also have good clean IBC pods for water collection. Come and have a chat to us for some good old-fashioned advice on what option is best for you, your block, and your animals. Business Update.

Hospice shop sick of ‘disgusting’ donations Simon Bloomberg
Nelson Tasman Hospice shop manager Karen MacKenzie-Howe is sick and tired of their Richmond store being treated as a refuse station by people who dump “disgusting” second-hand clothes on their doorstep. The Richmond store is one of five hospice shops around the Nelson-Tasman region staffed by a manager and volunteers to help raise funds for the hospice. Although Karen says the majority of people donate clean, good quality second-hand clothes,
a minority continue to leave damaged or dirty clothing “that not even the engineering companies would accept for rags”. The latest collection of unsuitable clothing was left outside the Queen St store last week and Karen says “the stench was unbearable”. “There were eight bags of clothes and when I opened one of them the stench was unbearable. There was vomit and disgusting stains on some of the clothes. “It stunk out the shop for hours. It’s not fair on our staff, who are all volunteers, having to handle this stuff.”
Nelson Hospice Shop manager Karen MacKenzie-Howe with some of the clothes that were left outside the shop. Karen says they also have to pay for the disposal of unsuitable clothes and that’s
taking money away from the hospice. She says she contacted the Tasman District Council about the problem but “they don’t seem interested.” “We can deal with small quantities of rubbish but last week we were talking about a big quantity of filth. I know we are a business and have to operate like one but we are running it for the community. “In the past, council have said it’s not their problem and it’s unfair to pass the cost onto the ratepayers. It’s a difficult problem but it would be nice to think that the council could help out.”
Irrigators show ‘good support’ for dam proposal Waimea Community Dam Limited’s project director Nick Patterson is optimistic that land owners and water permit holders will provide “the necessary support to go ahead” with the proposed $73.5million dam after two meetings at Seifried Estate near Richmond this week. WCDL is proposing to form a joint-venture with the Tasman District Council to construct a dam in the Lee Valley to store water for irrigation and urban water users on the Waimea Plains. It held two meetings to present plans for funding the dam to land owners and water permit holders on Monday and received “a largely a positive response from the majority” of the 200 people who attended. “We had good support,” Nick says. “There were one or two people speaking against it but it was largely a reasonably positive response from the majority.” Nick says the next step is to collate the results of a survey aimed at getting an indication of the level of financial commitment to the project. It was sent to all water permit holders and land owners who own more than one hectare of land on the Waimea Plains and asks ‘based on the indicative capital and operating costs, how many hectares of irrigation rights would you purchase in the WCDL proposal?’ The proposal estimates that it would cost landowners $4500 per hectare to purchase irrigation shares as well as around $450 per hectare per year to pay for operating costs and debt. Although Nick says WCDL’s proposal “is reasonable” he accepts that the TDC has some concerns with it and there is still a long way to go before anything is approved. “There are still a lot of things to be ticked off before it can go ahead and I’m sure there’ll be a lot of changes.”

Christmas spirit motors around Nelson With a deafening roar, the annual Ulysses Nelson Toy Run got under way on Saturday, celebrating the events thirtieth year. The toy run, which traditionally attracts hundreds of riders from Nelson, Blenheim and the West Coast, is all about supporting the Salvation Army in the work they do for families at Christmas time. Riders not only adorn their bikes with festive decorations, they also bring along toys to be distributed to the region’s children. The toy run began at Papps Carpark on Richmond’s Cambridge St, before the convoy departed, heading up Queen St, along Salisbury Rd, through Stoke and Bishopdale, before finishing at Trafalgar Park car park. Originally established by BRONZ (biker’s rights organisation of New Zealand) the event has grown in size over its 30 years, and for the last 15 or so years has been organised by Ulysses Club Nelson.

As well as the toys to be donated, this year the event issued special badges to mark the 30 year anniversary with all proceeds also going towards the Salvation Army. A total amount of toys and proceeds raised by the toy run has not yet been calculated but community ministries manager Kevin Waugh says the event was very successful. “The day went really well I thought, it was down a little bit on the amount of gifts but there was still a good amount that came in which is much appreciated. We had all sorts - books, toys, games, stuffed toys.” Anyone who would like to donate a present towards children in need can do so by dropping the item off to the community ministries at 57 Rutherford St, Nelson

Vinnies make Christmas hampers for local families
Students from St Paul’s School and Garin College are helping provide some Christmas cheer for Richmond families by donating food items for the St Vincent de Paul Society’s annual Christmas hamper delivery. St Vincent de Paul distributes food parcels to needy families throughout the year but makes a special Christmas delivery to about 30 Richmond families. Many of the items are donated by students from St Paul’s and Garin and St Paul’s. The Christmas hamper delivery is also being supported by donations from parishioners of the Richmond Catholic Church, Pak ‘n Save, Proper Crisps, Curves Gym and the Convent Girls Past Pupils Association.
The Warehouse has also made a significant donation this year which St Vincent de Paul Society Richmond president Peter Williams says will help look after 30 families this Christmas. “The families are always so delighted to receive the hampers that it makes giving a privilege,” Peter says. “We have a whole team of dedicated volunteers who give so much of their time to ensure that families are looked after all through the year and at Christmas we try to make a special effort for these families.” If anyone wants to make donations for the Christmas hampers or food parcels they can deliver them to the St Vincent de Paul shop at 11A McGlashen Ave behind the Richmond Library car park.

Kmart Wishing Tree, Wednesday, November 25: KMart Richmond’s Wishing Tree Appeal hit the 500 mark this week and is on track for the store’s target of 2000 gifts. The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal, which is the biggest Christmas appeal in New Zealand, was launched on November 18. On Monday, Richmond store manager Camrin Holmes says they had received 550 gifts and, with a “big boost” expected in the last week before Christmas, were hoping to hit 2000. She says the store’s 70 staff had also got into the Christmas spirit, challenging each other to donate a gift. Surprise pregnancy, Wednesday, December 2: Since their story in the Waimea Weekly, new parents Eamon Parkes and Charlene Wells have been on Australian television after the morning show Sunrise Australia tracked Eamon down through Facebook. The couple did a live cross to the morning show talking about the surprise birth of their son Carlo. The pair would also like to say how grateful they are for all the support they have received since Carlo’s arrival. Founders Christmas Market, Wednesday, November 26: Founders Heritage Park was full to bursting at the Great Christmas Market on Sunday, November 22. Event organiser Paula Layton says they had over six thousand people walk through the door to do some Christmas shopping, enjoy the live music and have a picnic lunch in the park. With around 110 boutique stalls including art, homewares, crafts, clothes and food, Paula says this is definitely the market’s biggest year yet. “The crowds were steadier and people lingered a lot longer, they enjoyed sitting outside on the grass and listening to the buskers.” Paula says that, on average, each stall made over $1000, “That’s over $100,000 supporting small businesses and going back into the local economy.” The Great Christmas Market is also able to donate $1500 to the KidsCan charity thanks to the door donations.

Southern Link: Just another load of rubbish from page one. What congestion? Full of crap and jellybeans (for the link lovers). Errol Millar. I trust everyone who wants to cut 3 minutes of their daily commute is willing to pay through the nose for it. Johny O’Donnell. I like it - Rocks Rd has not really been constructed to handle
the volume of heavy vehicles that pass to/from Port or other areas - get the heavy vehicles onto a main route to go about their business and the remaining roads will be more free for light vehicles and bikes, etc. In my mind it’s not really about 3 or 4 minutes time saving, it’s about connecting Nelson and taking Nelson into the future and not remaining ‘tired’ because people are scared of change. The community around Victory will be affected (I live nearby, so have an interest also), but the key will
be for the Victory area to have some input into how it is built, so there can be some compromise. So many people say ‘no, what about the schools’ - agree, the schools shouldn’t be negatively impacted or risked, but shouldn’t we see what the plan is before jumping to conclusions? If it really is good for the region as a whole, shouldn’t we look at it? Lisa De Gray. To have your say on any local issue, email editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz.

New turf for Appleby School Appleby School has a new artificial turf tennis court and sports area thanks to funds raised by the school’s popular Country Fair and grants from the Lotteries Commission and Rata Foundation (formerly the Canterbury Community Trust). The multi-purpose turf was officially opened last Thursday and is marked out to accommodate tennis, netball, volleyball and basketball. It cost over $30,000 and is the school’s third major project for the year following the JInc-Ad-xmas-2013-Waimea-Weekly-180x260-AD2.pdf
renovation of the school pool and upgrading the external toilet block. Deputy principal Nic Walker says the school board decided to allocate funds raised by the community for the sand-based artificial court because it is a multiuse facility. “We used to have problems with the old asphalt court because it was uneven and had cracks and water used to pool on it when it rained. This will be a great asset to both the school and commu-

nity, who can use the court after school and in the weekends holidays.” Nic says installing the new court is the first stage of a plan to improve the school’s playgrounds and physical environment. Stage one also included around 60 volunteers from the school community tidying up the front entrance and gardens, and will be finished off when colourful battened fencing on the road frontage and directional signage is erected early in the new year.

Waimea maths whizzes qualify for national challenge Waimea Intermediate’s maths teachers must be doing things right with one of their students finishing second and another 19 qualifying for the finals of a nationwide maths problem-solving challenge that attracted 27,092 entries from 606 schools. Three hundred and seven Waimea Intermediate students entered this year’s Problem Challenge that started in April when students answered the first of five problem sheets. At the end of the Problem Challenge in October, students who scored 20 or more out of 25 were selected for the Final Challenge to determine the best of the year seven and eight maths problem-
solvers in the country. “Our mathematicians performed outstandingly,” teacher Jon Linyard says. “This is our school’s best-ever performance in the competition’s 24-year history.” Jon says Thomas Bailey was second in the year seven Final Challenge with 88 out of 100, just three marks behind winner Hamish Baguley of Wadeston School. Luke Brown gained distinction after finishing 17th in the year seven Final Challenge while Lily Chalmers finished “well inside” in the top 50. “That’s a terrific result that’s a first for our school,” Jon says. “It’s not an achievement
that we are likely to repeat anytime soon.” Year seven students Finn Griffith, Tyler Griffin, Zachary Last-Harris and Connor Thomas and year eights Emily Blackmore, Ethan Burt, Bendi Kepess, Liam Allen, Quinten Smit, Samuel Wright, Gianni Carrel, Jared Cooper, Thomas Papps, Tom Gallot, Theo Scott, James Ranson and Jack Kinninmonth were the other students to qualify for the Final Challenge. “The first 15 questions weren’t too bad but the next five got harder and harder,” Thomas says. “I was really surprised to get second.” Although the students are super good at maths, Jon says they are not the stereotype
maths geeks. “They are good at everything - they are really cool kids,” Jon says. “We have half the school cricket team here and Thomas and Luke play rugby, so they are not just good at maths.’ Jon says the students received considerable help from Charlotte Bailey who mentored many of the mathematicians in the lead-up to the Final Challenge. If you are wondering how hard the Final Challenge questions were, try and solve this, without a calculator: Of all the threedigit numbers that you can form using the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4, how many are multiples of 9?

Students get behind tree appeal Waimea College students and teachers have been getting into the Christmas spirit collecting 150 gifts for the annual Wishing Tree Appeal. The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal supports families in need throughout New Zealand and Australia, last year collecting 42,273 gifts in New Zealand as well as cash donations. This year’s appeal was launched on November 18 and last week Waimea College year nine leaders put 150 gifts under the wishing tree in KMart store in Richmond. One of the year nine lead-
ers Rachel Maisey says the school’s associate deputy principal Faye Wilkinson suggested that the students collected gifts for the appeal and “we thought it was a fantastic idea so we jumped on it”. Junior leaders Rachel, Bella Spiteri, Georgia Charlett and Zac Richardson-Hall then promoted their appeal to staff and junior students and placed their own Christmas Wishing Trees in the library and staffroom. Last Friday they collected the 150 gifts from under their Christmas and made a personal delivery to KMart.
“It’s such a good thing to do at this time of year,” Bella says. “We really wanted to help the community and the Wishing Tree Appeal is a good way to do that.” KMart Richmond store manager Camrin Holmes says she is “thrilled” Waimea College decided to support the appeal. “When they came in with the gifts, our team was thrilled. It’s great to see support coming from that part of our community.” Camrin says they had so far received over 500 gifts. The appeal closes on December 24.

Group boosted by Tindall partnership The Nelson Bays Community Foundation has strengthened its relationship with one of the country’s biggest charitable foundations by forming a partnership to cover funding applications across the top of the South Island. NBCF was launched in 2010, with support from the Tindall Foundation, to encourage people to contribute funds for the benefit of community groups in Nelson and Tasman. Last week, the Tindall Foundation reinforced that commitment by appointing NBCF as a partner to support their Families and Social Services Programme in Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough. The Tindall Foundation’s Martina O’Driscoll says NBCF will initially have an advisory role, assessing and monitoring requests on behalf of their foundation and
making recommendations for funding. She says the Tindall Foundation has adopted the same approach across the country and it is “hugely successful”. “We have been following the progress of NBCF since it launched in 2010 and our team is delighted to strengthen this relationship. We have appointed NBCF as our regional partner to support our Families and Social Services Programme across the top of the South Island. “This way of working allows the Tindall Foundation to engage with credible organisations close to their communities, trusting them to distribute and recommend funding on our behalf. This ensures funds are delivered for the greatest benefit in the community.”
FOUNDATIONS CREATE PARTNERSHIPS: Nelson Bays Community Foundation’s David Kerr and Julie Varney, second right, with the Tindall Foundation’s Martina O’Driscoll, second left, and Genevieve Northey, far right, at the NBCF offices in Nelson last Wednesday. Photo: Simon Bloomberg. The Tindall Foundation was established by The Warehouse founder Sir Stephen Tindall and his wife Margaret in 1994, and last year donated $9.5million to communities across the country.
NBCF chairperson Julie Varney says the new partnership is “a significant milestone for NBCF and recognises the progress we have achieved”. “This partnership with the
Tindall Foundation represents a step-change in our growth, and will enable us to distribute significantly more funds into the community from 2016. “NBCF representatives are extremely grateful to the Tindall Foundation for its support of our activities, and the confidence they have shown in partnering with us.” David Kerr from NBCF says they plan to hold two funding rounds a year, with applications for the first round under the new partnership closing on February 16. Community groups are encouraged to apply well in advance to allow time to complete the registration and the preliminary application process. Details of the application criteria can be found on the websites www.tindall.org.nz and www. nbcg.org.nz
Christmas in the Gardens this Sunday It’s Christmas time and what better way to celebrate than by relaxing and listening to carols in a beautiful setting. The sixth Christmas in the Gardens is being held on Sunday, December 13, from 4pm to 6pm at the Gardens of the World in Hope. The Nelson City Brass Band will entertain
the crowds with carols and other popular songs, and guest singer Trudi Wilson will perform a few songs with the band and some solo numbers. If you enjoy singing along to carols, you’ll get your chance to join in with the band. Santa will be making a special appearance and there will be a chance to have free
photos with him. If you’re feeling hungry, barbecued sausages and ice cream will be available to buy. One of the organisers, David Todd of Nelson City Brass Band, is looking forward to the concert. “Just 12 days out from Christmas, it’s the perfect time for families to relax for a cou-
ple of hours and enjoy the music and the surroundings,” says David. Carols in the Garden is this Sunday, December 13 at Gardens of the World, Corner of Patons Rd and Clover Rd, Hope. Entry fee is $15 for families, $5 for adults. Sausage sizzle and ice cream available but cash only.

Rural fire volunteer earns gold star for 25 years of service

BBQ at your place? Get your garden looking great in no time! Call us.
Simon Bloomberg Appleby Rural Volunteer Fire Force controller Paul Eggers says the highlight of 25 years of service has always been getting “a nice thank you for a job well done” from the community. Paul received his Gold Star for 25 years of service as a volunteer fire fighter at a function at Petite Fleur at Seifried Estate late last month. Sister-in-laws Bella and Grace Clarke were also honoured, receiving their three-year bar for 22 years of service while Ken O’Conner received a three year medal. Paul, who started at the Upper Moutere Rural Volunteer Fire Force in November 1990 and joined Appleby in October 1996, says he has enjoyed helping the community and working with a “good group of people” over the last 25 years. He joins founding members Ted Ford and John Russ as Appleby’s only other Gold Star volunteers. “It was always an aim to try and do the 25 years and, now I’ve got there, I have no intention of stopping,” he says. Paul says there have been some big changes since he

The force’s equipment has also been modernised with Paul saying replacing their ageing Bedford fire truck with a newer Isuzu in 2004 was a quantum leap forward.
“We are not just rural - we do everything now. There’s also more houses and more traffic on the road so we are getting busier. “We are also tending to stay longer at fires. We’ll turn up in the morning and stay there until the next shift comes on at the end of the day.”

Jacks Tyres sTockcar Teams Brawl
NelsoN speedway Summer has arrived and that means speedway season has begun. If you’re a speedway fan, then you’re going to love what Nelson Speedway has got lined up for the evenings of December 11 and 12, and even if you’re uneducated in the action-packed world of speedway, introduce yourself to a sport that really knows how to entertain. With pre-season laps and the season opening Trackman Trophy night well behind them, drivers are now looking forward to the thrill and carnage of two whole nights of teams racing as the Nelson Speedway presents the Jacks Tyres Stockcar Teams Brawl. Huge thanks must be giv-
en to Jack, Karen and the team at Jacks Tyres for getting behind the new promotion, making it possible for Nelson Speedway to bring fans the biggest weekend of teams racing that Frosty’s Towing Top of the South Speedway has seen in a long time. There are four stockcar teams entered for the weekend, each one looking forward to leaving their fellow opposition behind in the dust and taking home the title and accompanying rewards. Competition will include hometown favourites, the Black Fasteners Tasman Thunder, although they will have their work cut out for them thanks to some stiff competition from neigh-
bouring team, Eastern States Titans, from Blenheim. Nelson will also receive representation during the teams brawl thanks to the newly formed Anzac Autowash Nelson Lightning. This team will be out to make a name for itself and is certainly not just there to make up numbers. Team number four taking part in the full-on double night will be none other than old arch rivals from Christchurch, the Canterbury Crushers. With competition of this quality on the cards, there’s no doubt the Jacks Tyres Stockcar Teams Brawl will be an un-missable two nights. Friday night will see all four teams take part in qualifying

Just a thought...
Have you ever thought about a world with no news media, no television, no internet, no radio, nor newspapers? Without those, we would be blinded to the issues that other people in the world are struggling against. At church, I talk about God’s love every Sunday. But, it’s not an easy task when we are faced with some hard questions of our lives. In 1997, I was ordained as a Methodist minister in South Korea. After 15 years of ministry for the Korean Church, I transferred to the New Zealand Methodist Church in 2006 – I have now been a presbyter for English-speaking congregations for almost nine years. Back in the Korean Church, there was no room to talk about the issue of homosexuality – it was a topic not addressed. But just a few weeks ago, the Methodist Church of New Zealand Te Haahi Weteriana O
Aotearoa held their annual conference in Blenheim. A decision was made to further explore the leadership isMartin sue of homoSungchel Oh, sexuality and Richmond whether gay Methodist and lesbian Church. presbyters can be elected as President for the Methodist Church in the future. Currently, the New Zealand Methodist Church already have gay and lesbian ministers despite having people who are not entirely comfortable with this issue.

it…Love as brothers and sisters those who cannot agree with you… Agree with truth and reason. Condemn no one for not thinking as you think. Let everyone enjoy the full liberty of thought… abhor every approach, in any kind or degree, to the spirit of persecution. If you cannot reason or persuade a person into the truth, never attempt to force someone into it.” [Advice to the People Called Methodists, 10 October 1745.] I believe that God loves all of us, therefore we should hold no discriminations against who people are and where they come from.

Dairy businesses partner up
Two is always stronger than one, which is why Oaklands Milk has partnered up with Gelato Roma to bring locals a whole lot of dairy goodness. Yuri Aristarco of Gelato Roma and Milk Drop came up with the proposal and now both he and Julian Raine of Oaklands Milk invite everyone, from cafes, restaurants, produce growers and faithful foodies, to join them in showcasing not just milk, but the whole of the region’s wonderful produce. “My idea was to partner
with somebody not as big as Fonterra or other milk brands and also I was looking for great quality milk, and Oakland milk is one of the top,â€? says Yuri. “I think this is a great way of adding value to what is produced here in Nelson, not just my gelato but the milk, instead of drying it out and sending it overseas,â€? says Yuri. “We should do as much as we can to add value here in New Zealand, specifically Nelson,â€? says Julian. As well as providing Yuri with fresh milk, Julian also supplies a number of local cafĂŠs and
restaurants, and is about to install his sixth milk vending machine in the Tahuna Motorcamp so “that visitors to Nelson can experience our wonderful milk and Yuri’s gelato.� Yuri also has gelato locations from Kaikoura to Golden Bay and says that he is keen to hear from any local business that is interested in working with him to enhance both his and their products, such as nuts or berries. Anyone interested in joining forces with the two businesses can contact Yuri on 022 099 6754.

Stella, 15, makes NZ weightlifting team Andrew Board
Fifteen year old Stella Hampton has added herself to Nelson’s long list of New Zealand sporting representatives, but her sport of choice isn’t netball, volleyball, touch or even softball. Stella is a weightlifter. The Nelson College for Girls student picked up the sport a year ago and hasn't looked back. Her rapid development has seen her pick up three national titles and more recently she was selected to represent New Zealand at an Olympic Weightlifting training camp in New Caledonia. She says she first thought about weightlifting as a way to work out, but her father Paul Hampton “forced” her to learn the technique properly first. “And then I just got the hang of it quite easily and then took it from there. It’s quite an easy Stella Hampton, 15, in Results Gym where she trains with the Nelson Weightlifting Club. Stella has been sport to see your progress, obviselected for an Olympic Weightlifting New Zealand team. Photo: Andrew Board. ously your numbers get higher, so that’s rewarding and you feel stronger, and they are good people to be around.” Stella joined the Nelson Weightlifting Club and trains with them at Results gym up to six times a week. She admits there aren’t too many other 15 year old girls lining up

to take up the sport. “I haven’t met one other in Nelson and when I tell people that I do weightlifting I usually get ‘I wouldn’t have thought that’, it is odd coz I’m not exactly a built girl.” Her selection for the New Zealand team “was a shock”, as she didn’t know about the training camp or that they were even looking at her. “I had no idea and I just came back from a competition that I didn’t do too well at, so it was very surprising actually. “I got a bit teary.” Her selection is particularly impressive considering the lingering effects of a virus earlier this year means Stella can’t even feel her hands or feet. “My hands and feet are numb all the time, from nerve damage or something. It was an auto immune issue and it affected the nervous system – completely separate from weightlifting. It used to send, like, electric shocks up and down my arms and legs when I did a lift, but now it’s not that bad.” Stella says she’d “love” to go to the Olympics one day but isn’t getting ahead of herself. She would also like to thank Fit Superstore Richmond for sponsoring her.

Dawnbreakers club member Amy Dell had a clean-up with a great catch! One of the few opportunities she's had to go fishing this year was for the Tasman Bay Anglers' monster fishing competition. It was an early start with very little sleep due to anticipation, Amy said. Amy and hubby met up at the boat ramp with her brother-in-law and his wife Bec early on the morning, from where they headed to an area thought to hold some larger fish. Once they got there, they found the boys from Big Blue had the same thought and had beaten them there. They anchored up and the fishing
started. It wasn’t long before Josh and Bec were on to good fish and on the other side could see Big Blue getting their net, only to realise their anchor wasn’t holding. The fishing was good but the wind picked up. It didn’t stop coming so they decided to head back in. They were lucky to get on to some fish straight away because the rest of the day became almost impossible to catch fish. Her biggest fish of the day was 5.66kgs which won Amy 1st place heaviest snapper and a Bradley smoker sponsored by Nulook, thanks to Jason for the generous prize!

Nelson powerlifter Michelle Welsh claimed three bronze medals on Thursday at the 2015 Powerlifting Commonwealth Champs in Vancouver. Michelle took home two bronze medals for her 137.5kg squat and her 67.5kg bench press, as well as a large bronze medal for placing third overall in her Under 84kg Female category. Michelle says she is absolutely stoked with the result. “I didn’t come to medal, I came to compete against myself and do the best I could and I did, I came away with third place which I was really shocked and
ATHLETICS: Organisers of the South Island Colgate Games to be held at Saxton Field athletics track desperately need volunteers to help out at the January 15-17 track and field meeting. One of the organisers Brian Cockeram says they need around 150 volunteers for each day of the meeting. Although they have received a good response from volunteers around the country, Brian says they would like locals to get behind the event. He says they would ideally like ex-athletes or ex-officials to volunteer but there are also jobs for everybody. Anyone interested in volunteering can please contact Brian at 544 4704.

Once she makes a decision, it’s pretty hard to stop her from doing it.”

The Lantern A time to forgive “I will never forget what they did! I will never forgive them either. Why should I? They don’t deserve it!” This is a perfectly normal response to wrong doing. When someone offends or hurts us in some way, forgiveness is the last thing on our minds. Forgiveness doesn’t come easy. In August 2006 teenager, Liam Ashley, was bashed to death in the back of a prison van. Now his parents say they finally forgive their son’s killer. Mr Ashley said, “I had seven years of not sleeping at all. But then I came to a realisation that George (Liam’s killer) was slowly killing me, if I didn’t release him from me, I would never find happiness again.’’
St Albans, Appleby Services Sunday 13 December 10:30 am
No question; forgiveness is hard. No one really deserves it but forgiveness is a choice we make. Rather it is a series of choices ‘cos often forgiveness needs to be repeated (maybe at deeper levels each time). Forgiveness isn’t about how we feel but about deciding that we don’t want to live with anger and resentment any more.

Jesus could say, “Father forgive them for they do not know what they do,” because he had practiced forgiveness throughout his life. When teaching his followers how to pray, he included, “Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us”.
Clearly there are more reasons than simple kindness for forgiving those who hurt us. Research has clarified the benefits for the forgiver. They include a longer life span, better emotional health, a general improvement in physical health and sleep patterns, increased cardiac well-being, a strengthening of the immune system and an increased ability to forgive oneself. Whew! That is quite a list!

Community Notices Richmond & Districts Information Centre With the busy season arriving, volunteers are urgently required to work three hour shifts on a weekly or fortnightly basis at the Information Centre on Gladstone Road. Successful applicants would be required to work with more experienced volunteers initially before being asked to work on their own.

They should be well presented and enjoy meeting and conversing with visitors from all over New Zealand and the World. The Centre is well appointed with good facilities. If you are interested in this type of work, call in to the Centre or Ph. 03 543 9521 or Sally Symonds Ph. 03 542 3983 (rosters) for further details.

Notice of Road Stopping Tasman District Council is notifying its intention to stop a portion of un-named and unformed legal road which runs alongside the Anatoki River from the southern end of McCallum Road to a dead end where the legal road stops. The proposal to stop this section of unformed road is being considered pursuant to Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 1974. The road proposed to be stopped is shown as Section 1 on SO Plan 487432. The land area is 1.6429 hectares. The road stopping application is being made by Rainbow Valley Community Ltd which owns freehold land adjacent to the road to be stopped. The road itself is 40m wide in most places. If the road stopping is approved, the public will retain the right to use a minimum of 20m of public road and other public land adjacent to the Anatoki River. If the applicant is able to acquire the land involved, it has offered a 10m wide esplanade strip alongside the Anatoki River where there is no legal access at present. When combined with the 10m wide esplanade strip, public access will be possible from the northern end of McCallum Road to the Southern end, alongside the river. A number of dwellings encroach onto the legal road corridor. The proposal is intended to improve legal access alongside the Anatoki River, while allowing the applicant to acquire the legal road underneath the dwellings. An unformed portion of McCallum Road is to be moved slightly to the south. The width of the road will remain the same. Plans of the proposed road stopping are available by Email: info@tasman.govt.nz. Plans may also be viewed at the Takaka Service Centre and Richmond Office of the Tasman District Council. Copies of plans, and this public notice, will also be available on the Council’s website. For further information please contact Robert Cant at Tasman District Council on Ph. 03 543 8400 or by Email: robert.cant@tasman.govt.nz Any objections to the proposed road stopping must be made in writing to the address below and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Friday 18 December 2015.
