Hunt for Marg’s saviour Sara HOllymaN It was a normal morning when Marg Farrelly set off from her Waimea Rd home on a bike ride with her husband and friend last month. But what eventuated turned into a nightmare for the Nelson woman. The group rode to Brightwater and around Mt Heslington, then on for their usual coffee stop at Headquarters in Brightwater at about 11am before setting off for home. Riding along Hill St, Marg’s friend stopped ahead of her at the intersection of Queen St. Marg thought her friend was starting to cross the intersection, but she applied her brakes and prepared to stop, seeing a car coming towards the intersection in the distance. What happened next, nobody quite understands.
Her friend didn’t cross the intersection, and Marg came up a little too close, gently brushing shoulders with him as she came to a stop. Marg felt a slight sting in her leg and assumed she had scratched it on her pedal as she had placed her foot to the ground. “I didn’t think anything of it,” Marg says. Her friend continued, Marg followed, with her husband much further ahead. “On the other side of the intersection I thought ‘oh, that’s still stinging’, I looked down and saw a few trails of blood on the front of my leg and thought ‘oh dear’.” Marg is on blood thinners for a heart condition, so knew she had to pull over and stop the bleeding. She had a small first aid kit

Wakefield’s giant pumpkin party success JO KENT A pumpkin weighing a whopping 110kg has taken out first prize in a group of Wakefield gardening enthusiasts’ inaugural competition. Pete Low came away with the win for his mammoth effort. “The main prize is 12 months-worth of bragging rights,” Pete says. “I’m going to put the trophy on display behind the bar at the Wakefield Hotel as that’s where our group always meets up.”
Andrea Borrie, who came seventh with her pumpkin weighing 57kg, says Pete came up with the idea of the competition as he’d previously been involved in similar events in Greymouth. “He was telling us all about it one day and just said we should start a Wakefield one up,” she says. ‘Wakefield Smashing Pumpkins’ was born. He had some seeds left over from previous years and gave us some to plant and it took off from there.”
The group has a president and a treasurer and there are strict rules which must be followed. “We are only allowed to enter one pumpkin each and we have monthly meetings where we show photos of our pumpkin’s progress and also get updates on how each other is getting on.” She says that if a pumpkin dies, the member has to write an essay on its

Wakefield’s giant pumpkin party success fRom PAGE 1 demise. “It’s a bit tongue in cheek, but that’s what we do. Someone’s entry turned to mush the other day, so she had to write about how it died - it’s not meant to be serious.” One of the members whose entry died during the competition brought along a slice of pumpkin from the supermarket on the weigh-in day for a bit of a laugh. The giant pumpkins take 80 days to grow to their full size and the group planted in November. “We knew the official weigh-in would be March, so we arranged for a trailer to go to each house to collect the pumpkin and take it to the weighing station at one of the member’s houses.” The group travelled from house
to house before ending up at the final destination for a pumpkin party and the presentation of the trophy to the winner. “The trophy was made with wood from a member of the group’s totara tree and the ceramic pumpkin was found in an op shop.” The ceremonial plaque has the group’s name ‘Wakefield Smashing Pumpkins’ engraved on it and will be presented to the new winner each year. “We’ll use the seeds from the winning pumpkin to grow for next year’s competition,” Andrea says. The pumpkins will be on display in the courtyard of Sweet Bites on Edward Street from Thursday. If you would like to get involved next year, email Suzanne Elliston-Mcfarlane on sweetbiteswake field@gmail.com.
GoDZoNE: Annual endurance race GoDZone is currently underway with Nelson Tasman based, world champion adventure racing team Avaya leading the pack. Nathan fa’avae, Sophie Hart, Stu Lynch and Chris forne, are returning champions, only taking one five-hour sleep break between starting the race at midday on friday and Sunday afternoon. GoDZone race director Warren Bates says that is a common sleep strategy for the returning champions who like to push out in front from the get-go and race with no other teams around them. GoDZone sees teams trek, kayak and cycle 710km from Jackson Bay on the West Coast, to Brighton Beach in Dunedin. Photo: Sean Beale.

Four months of disruption for Salisbury Road Jo Kent The replacement of an aged water main along Salisbury Road is set to cause traffic disruption over the next four months. Works on the busiest road in Richmond began on Monday and are scheduled to continue until mid to late July. As well as being a major travel route between Richmond and Nelson, Salisbury Rd provides access to Waimea College, Waimea Intermediate, St Paul’s and Henley Schools. The $2.48 million project comes as unwelcome news to the Henley School mums who raised concerns over the safety of an intersection on Hill St just two weeks ago in the Waimea Weekly. One of the mums in the group, Kirstie Van Houtte, says all it takes is for a bit of congestion on Salisbury Rd for drivers to use Hill St as an alternative route. That, she says, can lead to issues. “We understand roadworks need to happen and that’s not the issue for us,” she says. “It’s about making the Hill Street intersection safer for those times when people will inevitably use it as a cut-

As part of the Salisbury Rd project, the 150mm cast-iron water main, which was constructed in the 1950s, will be replaced with a 200mm pipe for about 770 metres along one side of Salisbury Rd, from William St to Templemore Drive. Another 63mm rider main is to be installed along the other side of Salisbury Rd, between William St and Arbor-Lea Ave. Cross connections across
Salisbury Rd are also planned. “We are hoping the roadworks will highlight how important it is to upgrade the Hill Street intersection as it is outdated and unable to cope with the usage which comes with urban growth,” Kirstie says. Manager transportation at Tasman District Council, Jamie McPherson, says there is no immediate solution that will significantly improve safety at the intersection. “We are applying to be part of Waka Kotahi Streets for People Programme which is designed to enable councils to accelerate their plans for safer streets through the contestable fund, but we won’t know if we are successful with this application until the middle of 2022.”

The hunt for Marg’s saviour FROM page 1 and thought the plasters in there would do the trick. “But when I looked down again, there was blood just pouring out the back, it had gone right through, there was a hole at the back.” Marg had impaled her leg on the kick stand of her friend’s bike, which they would only find out later when he came to clean his bike. The paramedic would later tell her he could see the bone; the hole was that big, straight through her leg. “The first thing I did was grab a pad from the small first aid kit and a wad of paper towels to plug both the front and back, then I called 111 for an ambulance. Knowing that I’m a bleeder and seeing the amount was quite frightening.” Marg says she was told by paramedics that there was more than 500ml of blood in a pool where she had been sitting on the kerb-
side. “And that’s not even what I’d left trailing down the street.” Marg’s husband and friend had continued riding, but they were checking in their rearview mirror and saw flashes of yellow, much like the hi-vis that Marg had on, so assumed she was following. What they didn’t realise was the yellow they were seeing was that of recycling bins placed on the kerb. After calling the ambulance she made contact with her husband and told him what had happened. Marg says a couple of people stopped to offer help, but one in particular she would like to seek out to thank. He stopped in a white car and pulled out a big first aid kit. He found two large pads and an elasticated bandage which they wrapped tightly around the wound. “It was really good because nothing was leaking through it, that was all nice and secure and safe.” Marg gets emotional when she thinks of the difference that the

If it wasn’t for him, I could’ve bled out.” She says people like that, who are prepared to stop when they see someone sitting on the side of the road, deserve recognition. Marg spent two nights in hospital
following surgery, being released just two days short of her 70th birthday. She is still recovering from the injury and cannot be on her leg for longer than 10 minutes each hour, but she is thankful that there is still not a lot of pain.
She says it’s almost an unbelievable tale and the fact she had almost no pain made it even stranger. If you are, or know, the Good Samaritan who stopped to help Marg, please email us at sara@ topsouthmedia.co.nz
Tasman boat ramps to be revamped ERIN BRADNOCK Local Democracy Reporter
With the rise of boat ownership and inexperienced boaties, Tasman District Council are committing to between $1-2 million of improvements at Motueka Wharf, on top of $300,000 for minor improvements to other boat ramps in the region. A study on the region’s boat ramps was presented to TDC’s Strategy and Policy Committee on Thursday. The study identified a range of problems faced by boat ramp users in the region, including not
enough parking to meet growing demand, the rise of less experienced boat users and Tasman not having a washdown facility where boats can be anti-fouled/maintained. Council’s infrastructure planning advisor Drew Bryant presented the study, along with the short-term recommendations of safety, parking and water access improvements to Mārahau, Kaiteriteri, Motueka, Kina Peninsula and Moturoa/Rabbit Island - estimated at a total cost of $300,000. It’s expected that these changes be made over the next one to three years.

“The recommendation is that these actions get included as part of the 2024 draft coastal assets activities plan,” said Bryant. A bigger budget of $1 to $2 million is estimated for improvements at Motueka Wharf, from consolidating the ramp and parking area and adding a washdown facility. All recommendations were supported by every committee member.

Quinney’s raft returns home after epic journey Jo KeNT The wooden raft which was swept away from Quinney’s Bush Camp during the July floods last year has finally been returned home. Operations manager Andrew Quinney says it’s been 28 weeks since the ark was discovered on a Taranaki beach - 287km away. “It’s taken this long to get it back because of its size and weight. We had to come up with a plan to get it home safely.” The family travelled to Opunake, just below New Plymouth, to collect ‘Mark’s Ark’ with their camp’s crane truck. The ark had been stored at Campbell Contractors yard since August after travelling the 155 nautical miles down the Motupiko River and out across the Cook Strait. “It was found amongst the thistles and long grass, looking a bit worse for wear but certainly worth salvaging,” Andrew says. “We removed the sides as it would have been too big to fit on the truck otherwise, then strapped it to a specially-built frame screwed down to the deck before jumping

Update on Covid Testing My thanks to the Nelson Police officers who travelled to Wellington last week to help end the occupation at Parliament. I have always supported the right to protest peacefully, but the violence displayed towards our Police was unacceptable. I am pleased that the people who live, work and go to school near Parliament are now able to go about their lives safely. Now that we have a very high number of Covid-19 cases in the community, we are using Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) as part of our testing strategy. If you have symptoms, or you are a household contact, you can order and collect RATs from a Community Collection site. You can order them online at requestrats.covid19.health.nz or by phoning 0800 222 478. You can then collect your tests, or a friend or family member can collect them for you. Parliament has been sitting virtually for the first time. So instead of being in Wellington, I’ve been zooming in from my Nelson home. I’ll be at the Nelson Market this Saturday, so please pop down and say hello and support our local stallholders.

Local GPs pushed to breaking point Staff shortages force Jenny nicholson Local GPs are being pushed to breaking point amid an influx of Covid-19 pressures. Wakefield GP Dr Eloise Fry says there is now an expectation for them to look after Covid positive patients both during work hours and when they are not at work. This is over and above their already increasing workloads. She says they only have a certain amount of time, and they were already snowed under before Covid-19. Wakefield Health Centre closed their books and are not taking on new patients. This was prior to Omicron. “Our patients sometimes have to wait a week or two to be seen,” Eloise says. “It’s not good enough and we hate it.” She says people want to register with the practice, but doctors feel they can’t even keep up with their current patients. “The only way to cover Covid-related work is to cut back on other care for patients and/or do the work from home during the evening and at weekends.” She says there is concern among GPs that illnesses other than Covid-19 will be pushed aside and there will be consequences. The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) president, Dr Samantha Murton, ech-

Medlab closures Jenny nicholson The doors of Tāhunanui’s Medlab South closed temporarily last week due to a shortage of staff. Southern Community Laboratories chief executive, Peter Gootjes, says general sickness, household contacts isolating, and a shortness of phlebotomists means they have had to close their doors. The lab at Nelson Hospital is also closed to community patients wanting blood tests. Peter says staff from those facilities have been redistributed to other Medlabs in town, and he was hoping Tāhunanui’s facility would be open again this week. With the possibility that more staff may have time off work, Peter says their staff have contingency plans in place. “If we suddenly lose too many staff, and we cannot operate places for people to have blood tests, we
have talked with the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board to discuss other solutions.” Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) strategy, primary and community general manager, Cathy O’Malley, says that NMH spoke to general practices in the region to understand their capacity to offer assistance, should it be required as part of the Covid-19 contingency planning. “It’s a great example of the greater health team working together to support one another to continue to deliver quality healthcare to our community,” Cathy says. Peter says they are not wanting to stretch GPs more than they already are. “We are all working collectively for the good of the patient.” Meanwhile, staff who have been processing PCR tests have had some relief as Rapid Antigen Testing use increases.

Skateboarding lessons still on Jo Kent Despite the region’s Skate Park Tour getting scrapped, Tasman District Council have gone ahead with its own planned skateboard lessons for smaller groups. Community partnerships officer Yulia Panfylova says it was disappointing having to cancel the tour because it’s a popular event. “But to be able to offer skateboard lessons gives kids in the community a chance of learning a new skill and boosting their mood during such uncertain times.” New coach Leon Nichols, 21, says he started volunteering at Nelson Intermediate after a skate ramp was introduced at the school. “It was an opportunity for me to
practice coaching styles for my NMIT course and develop safe skate etiquette among students,” he says. “Now I help students learn new skills and tricks that improve balance and coordination for skateboarding, because it’s what I never had.” He says he has been skateboarding since he was 16 and that it can boost mental health among students by providing an escape from their day-to-day routine. “I offer excitement, adrenaline and self-satisfaction. Lots of shredding without an ending.” Registration for the council-run course is fully booked, but to book a private lesson with Leon, email Curbcut.skate@gmail.com.

Scootering to save lives Max Frethey The Seals to Eels on Scooter Wheels charity event is returning this month. On Saturday, March 26, participants will ride a 50cc motor scooter for about 250km from Tāhunanui to Lake Rotoiti and back again to raise money for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust. General manager of the trust and past participant, Paula Muddle, is thrilled that this event is going forward. She says much of the trust’s equipment is reaching the end of its life, so funds are needed to replace the ageing gear. “Not being able to fundraise and do events has been quite crippling,” Paula says. “We’ve got amazing sponsors that have continued to support us, but it’s those dribs and drabs. People think they’re not giving a lot, but it adds up to quite a significant amount.” Paula is hoping for 50 participants, but the event has room for up to 100, given the current Covid-19 re-

Crafty market goes sustainable Jo Kent The regular Pretty Crafty Market at Richmond Town Hall has been given a sustainability facelift and, as of this Sunday, will include quality pre-loved clothes. Organiser Karen Cooper says it’s always been her goal to make the craft market a sustainable shopping experience. “It’s time to introduce my other love, aside from craft sustainable shopping and preloved fashion.” To tie in with the second chance theme, Karen has teamed up with charity Second Chance, which rescues and rehabilitates local dogs which haven’t had the best start in life. “All proceeds from the sale of the preloved clothes will go to Second Chance,” Karen says. Volunteer at Second Chance, Sinead White, says a lot of the dogs that are rehomed come from the Richmond or Nelson pound. “We find loving homes for dogs that have been dumped, neglected or abused. Many of these dogs are young, energetic and just need a second chance in life.” The involvement of the Sec-
ond Chance charity was the perfect partnership for Karen as she’s just adopted a dog of her own through the group. “The collaboration is great because it’s a second chance for clothes and second chance for dogs on the second Sunday of every month.” The market has always been about creating a slow shopping experience, where customers can meet the makers and interact with them. Introducing a pre-loved section will add a new dimension for customers who will be able to sell their own second-hand clothes at the market next month. “This time round, the clothes
have all be donated, but I’d like people to be able to come and sell their own items in the future, with some of the proceeds going to our chosen charity.” “Pre-loved can mean quality and some items are new with tags, so you never know what you will discover,” she says. “Nothing will go to waste. Clothes that aren’t sold on the day will be transformed into a wonderful new creation by our crafters that will be available at the market another time. Let’s all reuse, repurpose and recycle.” The Pretty Crafty Market is on Sunday, 13 March at 10am, Richmond Town Hall.

Staff shortages sees gaps on supermarket shelves Jenny nicholson Staff absences, particularly in Auckland, have contributed to some gaps on the shelves in our local supermarkets. Countdown last week had about 1000 staff throughout New Zealand isolating, either as a Covid-positive case or a household contact. “In two of our distribution centres, we are down around 45 per cent of staff,” says Countdown director corporate affairs, safety and sustainability, Kiri Hannifin. Kiri says, as people come back from isolating others are going off work, and they are continuing to prepare for increased numbers of staff away. Richmond’s Fresh Choice owner Gary Watson says they prepared prior to Omicron by purchasing large quantities of essentials such as toilet paper. “We are in a pretty good position,” Gary says. “We haven’t had any staff test positive for Covid-19 yet.” He says there are certain products that are out of stock, there are a lot of delays, and they are only receiving about 70 per cent of some orders. Sonja Adams, who looks after the gluten-free section at Fresh Choice, says stock doesn’t come into the country in just one or two boxes. “Stock comes in a container, so we have to wait for it to come to New Zealand,” Sonja says. “The distributors keep us well informed on progress of items, so
us deliver to those most in need’. Fresh Choice’s Gary Watson says customers have a choice regarding substitutions.“They can tick a box saying substitution is acceptable,” Gary says. “Those who don’t want substitutions will be feeling it with their orders.” Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) hit the Fresh Choice shelves over the weekend. By Monday morning packs of five had sold out, and stock was getting low on single tests.

Proudly brought to you by...
A long way to Mount Heslington - Part One Ruth Russ When Vic and Paulette Gardiner walked their cows from the Tinline to Mount Heslington in 1945, it was just another in a series of long journeys in their lives. Vic, and his brother Ken, grew up in a farming family of Methodists in Pelorus. They both served in World War Two. Ken was sent off to war with a celebration at the Pelorus Bridge. He met up with Vic in Lower Hutt, then took the train up to Auckland. Sailing on the Awatea, he noted he “got a good start on the boat, just as we were pulling out a sea gull crapped on my head”. Once in Winnipeg, while training as a wireless operator, Ken noted much of his social life, including going
out with his friend John and their girls, Gale and Fran. Gale eventually began avoiding them and sent a letter saying she was engaged (“poor old John was in a great stew and went to town and got drunk”). After taking Fran to the circus, Ken decided it was the last time he went out with her (“I decided she was too expensive”). The next month he went down town and wrote, “It was the first time I met Paul.” Within in a month, after seeing each other almost every day, Ken was engaged to Paulette Lupien (Paul), a French-Canadian girl. Another month later they got married. “When we got to bed my pyjamas were missing and there was an old cow bell tied under our bed,” wrote Ken.
Ken was then off training in the UK. He was part of a crew aboard a Lancaster and conducted his first official operation on 13 November 1942. Three weeks later, his Lancaster was shot down during air operations against Hamberg. Ken didn’t survive. He never met his daughter. At the time of his death she was two months old. Meanwhile, Ken’s brother Vic had enlisted in the war, too. He was shot and wounded by shrapnel in January 1943 and sent home. At the same time, Ken’s widow Paulette arrived in New Zealand. Ken had made Paulette promise that if he died during the war, she would take their daughter to meet his family. Paulette and Pat met the
Gardiner family, including Vic, at Pelorus. Here, it is said that she nursed him as he recovered from his war wounds. Perhaps Ken’s diaries might have indicated such things, but Vic, while also a prolific diarist, wrote dutifully (if a little less colourfully than his brother) every day of his farmwork and the weather, even if there was nothing to report. An entry in his very first diary (1939) reads, Monday 28 August 1939 buggering around in morning, breaking in horse in afternoon. dull day In the final entry of that year, he signed off matterof-factly, “Thats the end”. In this same vein, after returning from the war, he went on to fill decades’ worth of diaries.

Jo Kent A series of treasure hunts have been set up at Richmond’s Washbourn Gardens, Easby Park and Bill Wilkes Reserve as part of Parks Week. Families are invited to follow the clues posted on Tasman District Council’s Facebook page, which they will then have to solve before cracking the code on a hidden treasure chest. “Inside will be messages of kindness and the chance for the code crackers to leave notes for others,” says community partnership coordinator Lani Evans. “It’s a nice way of getting people in the parks and of sharing the love in the community.” Challengers are also encouraged to prepare notes or drawings to leave in the treasure chest before they start their quest. “If kids want to prepare something small in advance to put in the chest, they are welcome to get creative at home too.” The first challengers to crack the code at Washbourn Gar-

Mum Jessica says that it gave them something fun to do after school. “They loved running around finding all the clues and left some cute notes for other kids in the secret box to find next time.” Parks Week sees hundreds of organisations across the country holding events to celebrate the vital role parks play in creating liveable cities and thriving communities. Marketing and communications manager for Recreation
Aotearoa, which promotes Parks Week, Leah Maclean, says spending time in parks has proven to benefit mental health. “We have seen communities thrive with access to green spaces. Parks Week is just a small way we can acknowledge and celebrate the value of our parks and the people who work within them,” she says. “The week is a great opportunity for the community to get out and explore their local green spaces, discover new things, relax, and spend time with friends and whānau.”

Best startup business 2021 ruruhomes.nz
Award Winners Passionate About Building Sustainable Living High off their recent ‘StartUp Business Award’ win at the Chamber of Commerce Business Awards held in February, Fran and Daniel Huelsmeyer are no strangers to business. Having run a successful lodge in stunning Kaiteriteri for many years, they were quick to adapt to the domino effect of Covid hitting
our shores in 2020 and the closure of international travel. With their business heavily reliant on overseas visitors, sadly, the lodge was no longer viable, and after exploring a few alternative options Ruru Homes was born. Initially, Fran and Daniel had purchased a second-hand tiny home in the hope of offering
it as an Airbnb. Unfortunately or fortunately - they felt the state of their purchase was not up to par, so they set about building their own tiny home. This was booked out immediately, so they decided to build another one, with Fran saying, “this one was bought before we had a chance to rent it out, and this is when
the snowball effect happened.” The couple very quickly recognised a gap in the New Zealand market and say, “10 weeks later we had 12 signed contracts and now deliver a house per week.” Since then, their business has been going from strength to strength
and the couple believe the demand for tiny homes is due to their versatility of use. “Tiny Homes have different markets: people who want to downsize, people who need an instant solution for a bach, or temporary accommodation, and people who simply cannot afford a house

We create homes on a tiny footprint! ruruhomes.nz
with land. Also, people who would rent if they could, often buy a tiny home as they can’t buy a larger property, but there are simply no rentals available. Our clients come from all areas, locally and financially, and there is such a broad need for all sorts of people.” Ruru Homes pride themselves on high values and work ethics and using sustainable and locally sourced materials as much as possible fits perfectly into the spirit of their beliefs. “I think if we look at the environmental effects we are currently facing, at the global situation and the economic effects that Covid had to international and domestic supply chains, it is self-explanatory to why we are focussing on NZ-made materials only. Why would I trust in
delivery times of overseas imports, and why would I pay wages to products manufactured overseas, with the profit going into another country’s economy. We have a massive housing crisis, and people struggling to pay their rent due to very low income - if I can identify a demand, a need, a supply and an opportunity for my own backyard? “For a small town like Motueka, we can make a huge impact. If you consider that we don’t buy our appliances from big chain stores but from Betta Electrical in High St, that we train seven apprentices locally who would have otherwise spent a lot of time working as labourers with no real perspective, that we have seen numbers of our suppliers hiring new employees to cater for the ever-growing demand of Ruru’s materials - it’s an upward spiral that can be demonstrated in the region, which makes me very, very happy.” Seeing such a fast and enormous growth within their company, Frans says their focus is aimed directly on improving procedures and perfecting efficiency. “We have to consider significant impacts on workforce and supply chain due to isolation requirements. And now the situation in Russia, which will impact imports to the country and therefore increase the demand for locally made products significantly. This ripples back through the entire industry. Therefore, we will focus on planning, improving and developing key elements of the still young business whilst producing 50-60 homes this year, before we can commit to further growth. The demand is strong, however, to responsibly run a business we need to ensure the supply of materials
and labour can cope with the commitments we make so we will focus on sustainability rather than growth in 2022.” A future dream goal for the couple, Fran and Daniel are currently in talks with council on a potential Tiny Home Village development in the region. Fran remains tight-lipped, saying the idea is still in its early stages but believes it will be a wonderful opportunity for the community if it comes into fruition. “It is a first-off development and takes time and reports and consultation to work through, but we are determined to get it underway.” For more information on Ruru Homes, or to arrange an appointment for viewing, check out their website at www.ruruhomes.nz or contact hello@ruruhomes.nz

Speedway gets underway again Jody Scott Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway got back underway again on Saturday night, only without a crowd. The livestream-only event saw many relieved drivers keen to put some laps in after a month off due to the change in Covid levels. It was a busy night, several grades racing for club championships, a round of the Southern Midget series, the penultimate round of the SMH Quarter-Midget series plus the Cando Fishing Super Stock Classic. The Quarter-Midgets were first up for the night and the track was in tip-top condition. Series leader Jack Brownlees extended his lead after winning race 2 and the feature race, but still needs to finish well with local drivers Lakyn Thompson and Locky Martin within striking distance with a round to go. The Production saloons ran their club championship, the brand-spanking-new car of Fee Frans got off the perfect start, winning the opening race in style. But it was Kaylim McNabb who was consistent enough over the night to win overall. Cambell McManaway picked up his second feature win in a row, with an almost a perfect night - bar being pinged for being too keen in heat 2 and jumping the start.

Youth Ministocks had a busy line of bodies heading up and down the referee’s tower. Several drivers were excluded for contact while racing. Callum Russ had a clean run, picking up the club championship, the car now having several drivers claim the title in it. Blake Hearne picked up the final heat win in his likely last race at his home track before aging out of youth. He dedicated the win to his nan who passed away earlier in the week, he finished 2nd overall with Harlon Brunt in 3rd. The Midgets made a welcome return after almost a year away, with Tom Lumsden picking up the feature race win from Glen Durie and Liam McCoubrey. The Super Stocks ran the Cando Classic, a replacement meeting for the postponed South Island Title. It came down to a battle between Brett Nicholl and Canterbury’s
Lloyd Jennings, with the regular visitor pipping Nicholls in the first 2 heats and enough for a one-point win overall. The Nelson Knights Street Stocks were in Christchurch competing at the State of Origin meeting. There, they beat Greymouth in their first race but lost to eventual winner Canterbury in the second, before winning the race for 3rd and 4th over the Mainland selection. The rest of the season is still under review. Keep an eye out on the club’s Facebook page or website for updates. The everchanging Covid criteria will hopefully allow for a return for spectators in some form before the end of the season. The lack of a crowd was quite surreal, club speedway reporter Pete McNae the lone soul in the stand, his “Mexican wave” needing a few more supporters to make it work.

s w e N g n i h s Fi Kayden’s water adventures We all know that the Fensom family love to spend time on the water and the same goes with 8-year-old Kayden Fensom. Here is his story of a super day on the water. We got up on a Saturday morning and met at nana and poppa’s house at 6.30am. We headed out on Poppa’s boat – me, poppa, dad and mum; nana stayed at home to get some jobs done. We headed to the boulder bank to try and troll for a kingfish but they didn’t like our lures so we pulled in the rods and headed out deeper for a fish. We caught a lot of sharks but also some nice gurnard and snapper. After about two hours we decided we would stop fishing and start heading home. We could have kept fishing as just as we started to pull in our gear, mum got another snapper on board and talk about good timing - just as it reached the boat her reel fell on the boat floor! But we still decided to head home as we had other boating adventures to do and had to tease nana about us catching snapper when she isn’t on the boat. After we got home and got our boat and headed to the Monaco boat ramp. We boated over to the back of Rabbit Island to go wakeboarding. We have been doing this for a few years now but I finally am allowed to start doing this myself.
Brought to you by:
This summer I have learnt how to get up on my wakeboard and stay up! I love it! Give it a few years and I may be able to land a backflip before dad. Until then I am just happy on the water and learning new skills with fishing and wakeboarding.

Our
Christian Community Brightwater church moves with times Jenny nicholson There’s no sitting in rows facing the front at Brightwater Community Church. Minister Paul Milson says rather than the traditional format of church, everyone meets around tables, with a focus on building connection. “We are not super gifted with the stuff on stage, but what we do well is love each other and offer hospitality,” Paul says. “We are leveraging that and making more a sense of community.” After morning tea and a chat, there is a short time of music and teaching from the front, followed by discussion and prayer around the tables. Paul says the church had been shrinking over the years, and he was employed to bring about change. After long discussions with leadership, there was the realisation that what the church’s people liked was hanging out together. “We thought about what the New Testament says about church and how we could apply it in a way that works in our context.” He says that while he wanted change, he didn’t want to bring about too much, and the current format is the result. “People who haven’t come before are welcomed in a quiet way, and can hang out and connect,” Paul says. “Someone will talk to you.” The current format suits Paul. He says he has had years of sermons and songs and wants to connect with people and help them to better follow Jesus. He is realistic that the format may not be right for everyone. For those who prefer a more traditional church, St Michaels on Waimea West meet together at 8.30am each Sunday. Brightwater Community Church meets at 10am each Sunday at 68 Waimea West Road.

Just a thought... Rev. MaRtin sungchel oh Nelson Tasman Methodist Parish
I loved Sunday school stories – I’m sure many of you hold this as childhood memories. As a child, I particularly loved the story of David and Goliath. How could a little boy beat a mighty warrior like Goliath? I now, as a grown-up adult of course, do not condone violence, nevertheless, it is still a fascinating story. In the modern world, people use this story when they face opponents that are impossible to beat. Nowadays, we are reading and hearing news every day about the people of Ukraine. I could not believe it when it was reported there would be a possible military invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Now, the people of Ukraine are living a nightmare. Russia has a powerful military. How is Ukraine supposed to win the fight against Russia? Outgunned, and outnumbered 3 to 1, it is almost impossible to comprehend. Just like the fight between David and Goliath. Like many others around the world and in our community, I am praying daily for peace and for the end of this war.

2022 CLUB RUGBY preview
FOUNDED: 1896 | HOME GROUND: Jubilee Park COACH: Scott McKenzie | CAPTAIN: TBC 2021 TASMAN TROPHY: Semi-finalist GAINS: Aisea Takapu (Auckland) Kamal Tackney (Timaru) Kava Vakauta (Canterbury) Tapuloa Uliano (Canterbury) Pate Lelenoa (Timaru). LOSSES: Taya Brown (Stoke) Ropati Matangi (Australia) Caleb Coventry (Stoke) Mitch Barry (Canterbury). ONES TO WATCH: The highly-skilled Macca Springer is currently with the Crusaders and will be an integral attacking weapon in his sophomore season of club footy. Sio Latu is another promising young talent who also enjoyed a strong debut season for Waimea, while tighthead prop Aisea Takapu played NPC with Auckland and will be looking to make his mark in the Tas-
man region. “We are a young, exciting and talented side. With a few personnel changes we will still be looking at continuing the strong Waimea ‘never say die’ culture, and if we gel well as a unit, we should be amongst it at the business end of the season and then it’s all on.” Scott McKenzie, coach. VERDICT: Waimea has consistently been one of the strongest clubs in the region over recent years and with few off-season losses, are serious title contenders. Its rivalry with Marist will again be required viewing while sharpshooter Campbell Parata could make a timely return from the Force later in the season.
Waimea Old Boys will be looking to go from strength to strength in 2022.

FOUNDED: 1951 | HOME GROUND: Centennial Park | NAMING SPONSOR: Taylor’s Contracting COACHES: Ethan Reuben, Glen Thompson, Levi McPherson, Lochie Taylor | CO-CAPTAINS: Steven Soper/Fletcher Matthews 2021 TASMAN TROPHY: Fifth. GAINS: Setaleki Baker (Blenheim) Jesse Pitman, Steve Soper (both returning from Heartland) Graham Urquhart (Dunedin) Naki Saumaki (back from injury) LOSSES: El-nino Peniamina (Wellington) Jaden Wooley (Australia) Tyler Power (Christchurch) Gabba de Kock (year off) Cameron King (year off) Sam Moli (Super rugby) Atu Moli (Super rugby) Josh Post (year off) Liam King (Southland) ONES TO WATCH: The addition of Setaleki Baker is a big coup for Wanderers. The flanker has moved from Blenheim’s Central club, where he was a standout player last season. He will be joined in the loose forwards by Steven Soper, who missed last season with Wanderers while he was playing Heartland Rugby. Those two should provide plenty of entertainment for Wanderers fans. Another combination to keep
an eye on will by the halves pairing of Graham Urquhart and Luca Roden. Graham is returning from Dunedin to take up the starting halfback position and Luca was a player who got better with each game in 2021. Coach Ethan Reuben says there is a feeling of excitement around the Brightwaterbased club. “Three of our guys this year have played 100 games for us and there are a couple more that should get to that milestone this season, so we have a lot of experience. I think it shows a testament to the club and how we treat our players.” VERDICT: Last year a slow start cost Wanderers a spot in the semi finals, so hitting the ground running will be important but it will not be easy for a team losing nine players from last year. Fortunately for Wanderers, many of its new players have played for the club before so there shouldn’t be a long settling-in period. Wanderers will back themselves to make the semi finals, as they should. Getting past that would be an overachievement but far from impossible.

Taine Robinson made his mako debut in 2021 and will no doubt bring confidence and direction to the Stoke backline. “We have lost quite a few players, but we are shaping up pretty good, some good
signings in the offseason. We were disappointed with the finish last year, we didn’t really peak until the last few games and lost a just couple games by one or two points where we should have taken the W. This year we are looking to take it out.” - Chris Little, club operations manager. VERDICT: The 2022 squad looks fairly well balanced with experience and young talent. Daniel Dixon’s premier rugby debut will be one of intrigue and though the loss of Lewis and the Veamatahau twins will be felt, Stoke has enough depth to be a serious threat in the Tasman Trophy.
After a fast finish in 2021, Stoke will look at carrying that late season form into the 2022 season.

FOUNDED: 1868 | HOME GROUND: Neale Park COACH: Gary Stevens | CO-CAPTAINS: Kershawl Sykes-Martin and Connor Higgins | NAMING SPONSOR: Galbraith 2021 TASMAN TROPHY: Ninth. GAINS: Rudi Sifa (Manawatu) Mata Maui (Cook Islands) Tahquinn Hansen (Auckland) Adyn Anguna (North Otago) Ronan Lawrence (Counties). LOSSES: Isaac Salmon (Toronto) Anton Segner (Blues) Riahe Jacobs (Central) Asher Wells (Australia) Isaiah Malaulau (Christchurch). ONES TO WATCH: Rudi Sifa brings international experience, having played for the Tongan sevens side, as he and his fellow Pasifika players will add some much-needed depth. Veteran Chris Kerslake will be integral whether playing on the side of the scrum or midfield where his combination with the dynamic Pita Siale will form the attacking foundation. Halfback Matt Soper also returns
from a long injury layoff. “We are bigger and faster across paddock, I think, based on 2021 struggles we are in a far better place to challenge and be far more competitive.” - Gary Stevens, head coach. VERDICT: Nelson will be looking to bounce back from a miserable 2021 season, winning just one of its nine Tasman Trophy games and failing to make the play-offs. Nelson will again be without a number of its stars as David Havili, Ethan Blackadder and Quin Strange have cemented themselves in Super Rugby squads. Prop Isaac Salmon is a significant loss, however, the injection of Cook Islands flair should see an entertaining brand of rugby played by the country’s oldest club.
With the addition of some players in key positions, Nelson will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2021 season.

FOUNDED: 1945 | HOME GROUND: Tahunanui Field COACHES: Shawn Begg, Hopo Taufa (assistant) | CAPTAIN: TBC | NAMING SPONSOR: New Street Steakhouse 2021 TASMAN TROPHY: Champions. GAINS: Netani Baleisomosomo, Ben Lefale, Dylan Irvine, EJ Ifopo, Tuterangi Stone-Williams, Joseph Domoni, Nic Sauira, Wil Thornalley, Jayden Waharoa (Nelson College) Codey Fearnley (Waimea Old Boys) Bonowai Baledrokadroka (Newcastle) Simione Ofa (Counties Manukau). LOSSES: Jacob Norris (BOP) Taina Fox Matamua (Italy) Max Hicks (Highlanders) Hopo Taufa (Coaching) Richard Tau'alupe (Retired) Chris Tau'alupe (Retired) Kasima Sami (Injured). ONES TO WATCH: Marist has gained the bulk of the South Island champion Nelson College 1st XV with Fijian pow-
erhouse Netani Baleisomosomo looming as a key signing for the green machine. Netani was the top try scorer for Nelson College and will provide plenty of impetus with his carries. Nic Sauira is a highly-skilled fullback while Wil Thornalley gives Marist a classy back-up to incumbent Cleve Barrell. "I am looking forward to seeing the new members of our squad combining with the old boys and creating a high energy style of rugby that is exciting to watch and even more enjoyable to be a part of.” - Shawn Begg, head coach. VERDICT: Despite some of the 2021 championship winning squad going onto higher honours, retiring or leaving the region, there is a good core returning in a bid for a fourth consecutive title. The departure of inspirational skipper Jacob Norris is a blow, Marist will have plenty of new faces this season with some exciting young prospects in the mix. Expect Marist to be a major threat again in 2022.
Despite key losses from last year, expect Marist to be a major threat again this season.

Prices and Waimea Old Boys have become one. Consistently among the best netball and rugby teams in the region, the two have officially united to secure the future of both clubs. Prices president Jane Campion says the merger has been in trial since 2020 with Waimea Old Boys looking to establish a multi-sports community. “We decided that it was a really good move for us to be involved with a rugby club.” She says it was logical both financially and for the lon-
gevity of the club she founded 30 years ago. “All codes are just trying to survive so it makes sports stronger if we can work together rather than against each other.” Jane says the standard of not only the results, but the management at Waimea Old Boys, is top quality. “They are a well-run club with good structures in place and their board are good business people which bodes well for running a sports club.” The benefits are numerous for Nelson’s premier netball team.
Prices will now have access to facilities at Jubilee Park and will also maintain autonomy. “For me, one of the big things was that we made our own decisions. It was important netballers made the decisions for netballers.” Prices will also have a presence on the board and management committee. “It is good for netball to have a voice and we have integrated quite successfully.” Prices shooter Shar Lowe knows better than most how strong the bonds between the clubs are, her brother and Irish winger James hav-
ing started his career with Waimea Old Boys. “We have always shared a close bond. “It’s great to make those connections official.” As a club with a strong emphasis on whanau, the move also made sense for the social benefit of the players. Having won four of the past five premier netball titles, Prices was looking to maintain both its strength and core values, traits which Jane says are replicated at Waimea. “We are doing it for our players. It’s about strength in numbers.”

Golden opportunity for Greenaway GUEST AUTHOR Nelson cricketer Madison Greenaway has scored the opportunity of a lifetime after being named one of the ‘ANZ Next XI’. ANZ searched the country to find 11 passionate young cricketers who were ready to take their skills to the next level. The ANZ Next XI academy will show New Zealand’s young female cricketing talent a pathway into elite level cricket and future world cups. Madison will get to meet her cricketing heroes while attending an exclusive White Ferns junior training academy later this year, where they will meet the players, train with the team, attend expertled master classes, and learn valuable skills to inspire them to become the very best cricketer they can be. The 14-year-old says she felt “a wave of excitement” to be named. “I thought it would be a really awesome opportunity to train with the White Ferns. “I’m really excited to meet the other girls and learn new things from them, too.” Madison, who plays for the Wanderer’s Sports Club, was presented with an ANZ training kit including a uniform, bat, helmet and pads to ensure that she has everything she needs to be White Fernsready. Madison started playing cricket when she was just seven-years-
old, but it wasn’t love at first sight for the whole family. “It’s a funny story actually. Mum and dad said we could play whatever sport we want, except for cricket. They finally gave in and got hooked.” Madison has tried just about every sport, but cricket always comes out on top. “I think it’s the individuality aspect of cricket and the team work too. “If you get a wicket, then everyone gets a wicket, we’ve all worked hard and deserve it.” Backyard cricket is a family affair at Madison’s house. ‘It gets pretty competitive. There’s always a little betting between me and my brothers to see who can be the best fielder. “We bet little things like you have to clean my room for the day or take the dog for a walk.” ANZ New Zealand chief executive Antonia Watson says it’s important to support women in pursuit of their goals. “We’re proud to be able to offer these passionate young sportswomen this opportunity to meet and train with their heroes. I’m a firm believer that if you can see it, you can be it.” Antonia says the ANZ XI is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our athletes to the world and provide important opportunities to grow the next generation of cricketers. “I definitely want to be a White Fern one day,” says Madison.

Salisbury Road watermain works begin We’re starting work upgrading the water supply network along Salisbury Road. The existing pipework is old and fragile, so the new network will minimise the risk of pipes breaking and water supply disruptions. This involves installing two new watermains on Salisbury Road (one between William Street and Templemore Drive and the other between William Street and Arbor-Lea Avenue) and installing new water connections to all properties between William Street and Holdaway Grove. To minimise disruption, work will be done in sections, starting at the corner of William Street and Salisbury Road on Monday 7 March and continuing down Salisbury Road towards Champion Road. We expect all work to be finished in July 2022. These works will cause some congestion, so please be patient, expect delays and use an alternative route if you can. We plan to maintain two-way traffic for all works during the day, but there will be sections of the road where restricted lane sizes and reduced speeds are in place. Works that cross or are in the middle of Salisbury Road will be done at night with stop/go traffic management in place. Footpaths and cycle lanes may also be affected in some areas, with diversions in place for pedestrians and cyclists. Bus services, including school pick-ups and dropoffs, will continue as normal but there may be some delays. If you are a parent dropping your child at a school or early childcare centre along Salisbury Road, please consider using an alternative drop-off point during the works. If you have any questions, please phone Fulton Hogan Public Liaison Manager Jared Todd on 03 547 9789 or email projects@tasman.govt.nz. For more information visit tasman.govt.nz/projects.
Future Development Strategy consultation goes online
Significant ramifications for Tasman from new government drinking water rules
Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council are working on a joint 2022 Future Development Strategy (FDS).
This year, our community’s water supplies will become subject to greater scrutiny and will need to meet higher standards for safety and environmental stewardship.
The FDS is a strategic plan that covers residential and business potential sites within the Nelson and Tasman regions over the next 30 years. The strategy looks at how and where we can create more capacity for development (for housing and business) and identifies the infrastructure required to support it. The FDS does not rezone the land, but it informs our Resource Management Plans. The FDS will influence all of our futures, where we will be able to live, the availability of housing and the types of housing we, our children and grandchildren will be able to live in.
Taumata Arowai and the Water Services Act 2021 are a direct result of the Havelock North drinking water crisis in 2016, when an outbreak of gastroenteritis because of contaminated drinking water saw 5,000 people fall sick.
To ensure any business or residential growth occurs in a way that best benefits those who live here now and over the next 30 years we need your input.
There will be implications for us as a Council, including increased costs, but there will also be significant ramifications for many members of our community with private water supplies. The new rules apply to any water scheme that supplies more than one household – affecting anyone with a bore or storage tanks that even one or two neighbours also draw water from.
Public consultation will run from 14 March 2022 to 5.00 pm 14 April 2022. A draft summary consultation document will be made available to the public online, at libraries and service centres. This will provide an overview of the proposed strategy, as well as submission forms to provide feedback for consideration. The complete Statement of Proposal will be available to the public online. To keep everyone safe while New Zealand remains at Red on the Covid Protection Framework, inperson community consultation events will not take place. Instead, we have a comprehensive online consultation programme, including a series of 16 community-focused, stakeholder and general webinars open to everyone. Our website will also include a pod cast on the FDS and an animation. For more information, visit tasman.govt.nz/fds.
Engagement on the way for growth plan changes We are also working on a plan change to rezone land for housing in Murchison, Brightwater and Wakefield and to enable higher densities on residentially zoned land in Māpua and Motueka. A plan change is normally the next step in the process following the adoption of the FDS. However, in this case the FDS and the plan change to rezone land are working concurrently to enable Tasman to meet its growing demand for housing. We expect Tasman to remain a desirable area to live in the future. As we prepare to meet this potential demand, we want to have your input into how we can best accommodate the expected growth in our region and the proposed plan change areas and rules. The plan change will go through a formal process of notification, submissions, hearings and decision making. This consultation will run at the same time as the FDS consultation, from 14 March 2022 through to 14 April 2022. Visit our website for more information, tasman.govt.nz, search ‘growth plan changes’.
STAY UP TO DATE WWW.TASMAN.GOVT.NZ
The new Government water services regulator Taumata Arowai is charged with making sure all drinking water supplies meet the new requirements and will have some strong enforcement powers to ensure councils and private water providers comply.
24 HOUR ASSISTANCE: RICHMOND 03 543 8400
This could include the likes of farms supplying water to worker accommodation. However, it doesn’t apply to properties that have a private water supply solely for the use of a single household. Taumata Arowai is currently seeking public feedback on several aspects of the regulations until 28 March. It is extremely important that everyone on a private water supply in Tasman is aware of the implications. More information is available at taumataarowai.govt.nz
Waters webinar As this will have an impact on many Tasman residents, we are holding an information webinar to help raise awareness of this national consultation and encourage people to offer their feedback to Taumata Arowai. The webinar will be on Wednesday 16 March at 6.30 pm. Visit our website for the webinar link, tasman.govt.nz.
