Tasman wasting opportunities to recycle rubbish Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Tasman district residents are getting better at recycling, but all the good work is being undone as people keep generating more and more waste. Recycling has hit an all-time high, increasing by 28 per cent since the introduction of new Tasman district and Nelson city recycling bins in 2015. The total amount of recyclable material diverted from landfills through council kerbside recycling services in Nelson and Tasman annually is now 6500 tonnes, up from the 5656 tonnes recorded in 2010. However, Tasman’s utility network engineer David Stephenson says the amount of waste that ends up in landfills has increased from 55,000 tonnes in 2009-2010 to nearly 57,000 tonnes in 2015-20016. “Although our recycling is growing, we are not seeing less going to landfills because we are creating more waste,” David says. “We are consuming more and throwing more out because there are

so many disposable items.” David says one of the big contributors to waste is construction and demolition activity which accounts for 15,000 tonnes a year and mostly comes from commercial operators and building companies. Unless there are big changes in the building industry, David says that’s likely to keep increasing as the demand for new residential and commercial properties continues to grow. “There’s no easy answer to that problem because you have issues with time and space pressures in the construction industry. The priority for builders is meeting deadlines and not managing waste, which has very little value in the context of a building site anyway.” David says one of the easiest ways to reduce waste would be to target food waste which comprises almost 14 percent of material being sent to landfill. He says families waste, on average, 3.3kg of edible food per family per week, or 171kg per year, and that can easily be reduced by reducing waste generated,

Big birthday for Richmond’s favourite grocers FROM PAGE 1 Cambridge streets. Ivan’s son Ian and his wife Betty took over the family business, later trading as IGA Super Discounter before shifting into the Queen St Pharmacy site in 1976 and then into Richmond SuperValue in the Richmond Village Mall in 1985. The third generation of Watson’s, Ian’s sons Gary and Matt worked in the supermarket before taking over the business which became FreshChoice Richmond in 1999. Today, Gary and Lisa are the sole owners after Matt decided to leave the business eight years ago, later setting up his sporting charity No Child Left Inside. Gary says the family’s business has been a

big part of Richmond and is looking forward to celebrating next month’s 60th anniversary of IT Watson Ltd. “We are the third generation of Watsons to own a supermarket in Richmond so we always like to support the community that has supported us – it’s a two-way street.” Gary says the 60th anniversary will be a chance to reminisce with his family and past and present employees and customers about the company’s history. He says there have been so many big changes in the business and the town since his grandfather first went to work in the store on the corner of Queen St and Salisbury Rd. “I remember I started at SuperValue as a trolley boy

in the school holidays on October 11, 1989. I had to wear a white long-sleeved dress shirt and a red bow tie, so you can imagine the how much I got teased by my mates when I went outside to collect the trolleys. “Then I started as an apprentice baker when dad extended the shop in 1993 and put a bakery in. I’ve always been interested in food so it made sense to work at the supermarket.” Gary says they will be holding in-store promotions as part of next month’s celebrations and will be offering a hamper of groceries to the person who has the most interesting story about working or shopping in the Watson’s stores. The stories can be emailed to editorial@ waimeaweekly.co.nz

Tasman wasting opportunities FROM PAGE 1 reusing food in the home and composting. Although Nelson-Tasman residents can do better, David says the region’s yearly average for waste disposed to landfill of 598kg per person is less than the national average of 700kg. And that’s likely to improve with the soft plastics recycling scheme introduced by New World, Pak ‘n Save and Countdown at their supermarkets last month. “The supermarkets are bringing frozen food up from Christchurch and backloading up the empty trucks with soft plastic and taking it back down there,” David says. “Then it goes to Melbourne and is made into composite plastics

David says soft plastic recycling bins can be found at New World, Pak ‘n Save and Countdown supermarkets and accept “any plastic that can be squashed in your hand”. He stresses that soft plastics are not accepted in council recycle bins.

Support for community patrol Judene Edgar A casual conversation with long-time sponsor Phil Nicholls at their tenth birthday celebrations last month, has Richmond Community Patrol well on their way towards their goal of a new vehicle. Each week the volunteers drive hundreds of kilometres patrolling our streets, parks, car parks and cemeteries, to try and keep our community safe. Patrolling Richmond, Brightwater and Wakefield every week, as well as supporting civil defence during emergencies, they currently use a small two-door car that no longer meets their needs.

“Our current car doesn’t fit all of our emergency gear and we’re getting an increasing number of calls down to the Waimea River area, so ideally we’re looking for a four-wheel drive,” says patrol coordinator Mike Gill. “They’ve made a real difference to our community helping to control the tagging and vandalism around town. I’d like to see the business community get together and help support them,” says Phil. A word in the ear to a few local businesses has seen the Richmond Mall come to the party contributing $5000 and Richmond Unlimited $3500. “The team does great work in

the community and their presence fosters a sense of security for customers and local businesses,” says Richmond Mall manager Belinda de Clercq. Richmond Unlimited chairperson Marina Buonocore says she wholeheartedly agrees. “It was a natural fit with our strategic plan and the patrol have played an important role supporting community events.” Mike is overwhelmed with the level of support, however, a few more businesses are needed to help them reach their goal of $15,000. Anyone interested in supporting the community patrol can contact Mike Gill on 027 286 4157.

Saxton Velodrome almost signed, sealed and delivered Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

It has been a long ride for supporters of the Saxton Velodrome but the project finally passed under the one kilometre to go banner this week when contractors started sealing the 333m track. Although there is still security fencing, some landscaping, track

marking and signage to be completed, sealing the track is the last significant stage of the $2million project which started back in June 2015. The velodrome is now on schedule for an official opening in early December and Saxton Velodrome Trust member Rob Ford says everyone involved is delighted the finish line is in sight. “This is the milestone of the pro-

ject,” Rob says. “It’s been long road – I’ve been here since 2008 and there been plenty of hurdles but it’s great to see the finished product. “All the trustees and the two councils have been working hard to get it finished. It’s going to be a great asset for the whole community, not just he cyclists.” Tasman District Council reserves officer Glenn Thorn, who is over-

seeing the project, says the sealing is a complex operation requiring a special machine which had to be transported from Auckland. “It’s the only one in New Zealand and it’s designed to pour a sevenmetre-wide strip of seal. That’s critical because it means the track will only have one join, where the seal starts and finishes. “It will be laying two seals over a couple of days. The first layer will

be a bit of a test run and that will have to cure and then the second layer has got to be perfect.” The project has been jointly funded by the Tasman district and Nelson city councils and the Saxton Velodrome Trust. Rob says the project would not have happened without the volunteers on the trust and grants from Rata foundation, Mainland Trust and Lion foundation.

Judene Edgar Registrations have opened for this year’s Pak n’ Save Richmond Santa Parade with organisers looking forward to using a new route. “Cambridge St will be back open, and with the first two stages of Queen St already completed and looking great, we think it’s going to be a really good route,” says Richmond Unlimited coordinator Charlotte Bidlake. To be held on Sunday, November 26, starting from 12 noon, the parade will run down Oxford St, starting from the Warring car park entrance, turn right into Cambridge St, left into Queen St, then finish on McIndoe Pl. “Last year we had around 50 entries and over 9000 spectators, so we’re really looking forward to a fantastic day.” Each year the parade has entries from schools, pre-schools, churches, bands, clubs and businesses. Last year nearly 1000 people were involved with various aspects of the parade from building floats to making costumes, handing out goodies along the street and being on a float. “The work they put in to create their entries is just amazing. There’s so much creativity and it makes for such a festive community occasion,” says Charlotte. The festivities continue after the parade at Sundial Square with children getting the opportunity to meet Santa, and enjoy music and entertainment including face painting and balloon twisting. In addition to the float participants, Charlotte says that it wouldn’t happen without their sponsors, and is delighted that once again, all of their existing sponsors have come back on board to help Richmond celebrate Christmas in style. This year the parade is the same weekend as the A&P show. Charlotte explains that the A&P show rotation is part of a national schedule and every fourth year it changes, but it was decided to hold the Richmond parade on its usual weekend so that it didn’t clash with other Christmas parades around the region. “We think this could be really positive for Richmond with two fantastic events on that weekend – Richmond will be humming,” says Charlotte.

Nelson’s Blackest Day - Passchendaele October 12, 1917 Judene Edgar “Going into support tonight” were Private Lewis Roy Gordon Haycock’s final written words. It was October 10, 1917. A member of the 12th Nelson and Marlborough Company, he penned them in his diary before heading to the front line to support battalions from Otago and Canterbury. He was off to the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium. Two days later would be Nelson and New Zealand’s blackest day of World War One. More than 800 of our own would be dead. Of them, 40 were local boys and men, aged between 21 and 45. A further 2,355 Kiwis were wounded. On that battlefield was 22-yearold farmer from Hope, “Roy” Haycock. Born March 19, 1895, he was the youngest of nine children for George and Emma Haycock. He was farming on his family property when, ten weeks shy of his 21st birthday, Roy enlisted. Serving for just 22 months before he was killed in action, Roy’s two diaries have provided his family, and New Zealand, with invaluable insight into everyday life at war. They tell the story of parades, drills, sea voyages and receiving letters from home, as well as learning to goose step, throwing live bombs, bayonet fighting and gassing instructions. Roy’s great-nephew, Richard Palmer, said that Roy’s diaries read more like “a man having an

during fighting on Bellevue Spur. His body never found, a NZ Expeditionary Force court of enquiry later ruled that he was killed in action, at Passchendaele, Belgium, October 12, 1917. “After the war his mates told family they reached the wire, a shell landed, and Roy disappeared,” says great-nephew Gerald Haycock. But like most who returned, he says they never talked much about what they went through. “It was so hard on families to send their young men off to war. Losing a loved one is not something you really ever get over,” says Peggy Balck, a great-niece of Roy. With no body found, and no gravesite, a plaque was placed on his father’s tombstone when he died in 1926. Roy is also remem-

bered on the Tyne Cot Memorial in Belgium, and on the memorials at Richmond and Brightwater. To mark the centenary of Passchendaele, a number of commemorations are taking place. On Thursday, October 12, at 5.25pm, the Last Post will be played on the Cathedral Steps, followed by a short service in the Nelson Cathedral. On Saturday, October 14, the RSA will be holding a commemorative service at the Anzac Park Cenotaph from 7am and the Nelson Historical Society will have a display at Founders Park between 10am to 3pm. Copies of Richard Palmer’s book, based on Roy’s diaries, ‘Going into support tonight’, are available from Richard by emailing rnpalmer@xtra.co.nz.

The trench got blown in by a shell, Jack Andrews and I put in about one and a half hours digging the blokes out, we dug four out. Two were dead, two

badly wounded. Our fellows got on splendidly in the advance, it was a walk over.” Roy was evacuated to England after receiving “a machine gun bullet through the shoulder” in France while taking part in a raid on German-held trenches. He recovered before rejoining his unit and heading to Belgium. On October 12, 1917, Roy was reported as ‘missing in action’

Amber light for Kohatu Park

Judene Edgar

Kohatu Park trustees have been handed a lifeline after a neardeathblow to their proposed motorsport and adventure park was dealt to them by Tasman District Council last week. Upgrade of the Olivers Rd and Motueka Valley Highway junction, approximately 1km past the Kohatu Flat Rock Cafe, is a requirement of their resource consent before any public events can take place on site. Originally expected to commence August this year, preliminary design estimates saw the upgrade balloon from $300,000 to $696,000 and a staff recommendation to remove it from this year’s work programme. However, with over 40 years in the civil construction industry, Trust chairman Garry Adcock is adamant they can bring the costs down. He also noted that the preliminary cost included over $130,000 in contingencies and council could get a 50 per cent subsidy from NZTA. “A lot of earthworks is involved in the upgrade, so this provides us with an opportunity to show our commitment to the project and our willingness to roll our sleeves up,” says Garry.

He While Kohatu Park is already a says the club hasn’t had a per-

manent home since they started, and changes to health and safety regulations is making access to forestry roads more problematic for them. “We’ve already had to turn down some events because we don’t have a venue, so we know we’ll be able to run events straight away,” says Neville. “We’ve had some hurdles but as soon as we get over this one we’re all on.” Situated on a 203ha block of land in the Stanley Brook Valley, Kohatu Park is designed to create a recreational destination through complimentary activities and the use of shared facilities such as parking and amenities. While motorsport is a key feature of the proposal, it is envisaged as a multi-use community facility encompassing road and offroad car and motorbike racing and mountainbiking. Garry says having a multi-use facility is key to the project’s economic feasibility and is delighted to have council’s continued support along with that of other clubs and sponsors. “The support and commitment we’ve received so far is fantastic, but the Board is well aware this is just the beginning for Kohatu Park, there is still a lot more to come,” says Garry.

Bateup Rd widening Work is underway on the widening of Richmond’s Bateup Rd. The road and footpaths will be made wider from Three Brothers Corner to Wensley Rd to accommodate new subdivisions and the proposed supermarket. The open roadside drain will be replaced with piped stormwater and a new water main from the western end of Bateup Rd up to Wensley Rd will also be installed. West Coast-Tasman MP loses seat National MP Maureen Pugh has lost her seat following the counting of special votes on October 7. In the final count, National lost two seats and Labour and Greens picked up one each. Number 44 on the party list, Maureen also lost the seat in 2014 after special votes had been counted. Christmas comes to Richmond The big Christmas ‘changeover’ is happening at Eyebright this week with the country store turning into a Christmas store. A big draw-card for shoppers, the newlook store will be revealed on Wednesday, October 11.

Irrigators committed to do their part for the Dam I hope the recent signing of an agreement between Tasman District Council (TDC), Waimea Irrigators (WIL) and Crown Irrigation Investments (CIIL) - a significant step in turning the concept of the Waimea Community Dam into reality – will put to bed the questions around costs, funding, and sharing of the load. Despite some claims to the contrary, Waimea irrigators are committed to taking responsibility for the largest share of the funding – as they should as the largest user of the water. For both TDC and WIL the Dam is critical to provide urban and irrigation water for the community. WIL has accepted that the funding from Ministry for the Environment and the CIIL interest free loan is part of TDC’s capital contribution, rather than WIL’s. This funding is a grant and an interest free loan respectively, and it means a substantial savings for ratepayers for their portion.

John Palmer Advisor to WIL, landowner in Waimea West serviced by the successful Kainui dam

WIL has made contributions as well. The MfE and CIIL interest free loan was made available because there is an irrigation component to the scheme. Also, WIL has the benefit of a lower-than-expected interest rate for their loan, which will make irrigators more comfortable committing to shares knowing the servicing costs are reasonable. The negotiations to get to this point have concentrated on what is fair and what is possible. In every negotiation, you want to end with a win-win for all partners. In this negotiation, each party genuinely looked out for the others. The WIL loan repayments over the next 15 years will be borne solely by irrigators. Some are saying the Council will end up paying it. That is not only untrue, it is rhetoric intended to divide us and all that has been achieved. I can tell you for WIL, there is no option for failure. Failure would mean WIL failing and shareholders unable to meet their financial commitments and all of their millions and millions of equity lost. Given the combined assets of the landowners and their complete reliance on water for their businesses, these business people won’t let failure happen. Waimea irrigators are long-standing businesses and substantial ratepayers who contribute a large portion of existing and future Council revenue and community spending on wages and services on which the wider community relies. I was talking to a major business owner the other day who is totally reliant on water access in summer months. He said he accepts that horticulture is a tough and sometimes volatile business. I agree with him. He can and does live with that reality. He went on to say that he is not going to start growing a crop that he has little chance of harvesting because there is no water. He believes we will get there, and I do too. The issue for landowners large and small is now to support the equity raising by WIL. Visit www.waimeairrigators.co.nz for more information.

Group hoping to help refugee family Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A group of Nelson women are hoping to sponsor an Eritrean refugee family, which has already tragically lost their mother, under a new community scheme announced by the government this month. Saralinda MacMillan, Susan O’Connell and Anna Stevens last year found out about the plight of Solomon and his two young daughters who are Eritrean refugees living in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Solomon’s wife disappeared two years ago while desperately trying to seek asylum in Europe and now Saralinda and her friends want to help Solomon and his daughters get out of the country safely. Saralinda says she found out about the family through her sister-in-law Phyllis Buton who is a lecturer at Sydney University. Phyllis supervises a medical researcher Stephanie Johnson, who had been doing voluntary hospital work in Addis Ababa and was contacted by Solomon. “Solomon walked into the UN offices over there and saw a form for refugees applying to get to New

Zealand and contacted Stephanie about it,” Saralinda says. “She told Phyllis about it and Phyllis mentioned it to me and I said ‘I’d see what I can do to help’, so that’s how it started.” Saralinda says the timing is perfect because the government has

just introduced a trial community-based refuge sponsorship category that is separate to the existing quota system. She talked to Anna and Susan about it and they, along with Stephanie and UK journalist Anne Little, who used Solomon as a translator

when she was working in Ethiopia, started raising funds to meet the sponsorship criteria. The community-based scheme requires the sponsors to fund domestic travel from the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre to their new home, arrange

accommodation and furniture and help place the refugees in a job. Saralinda says they are already well on the way to raising sufficient funds to help Solomon and his family but urgently need backing from a registered legal entity to meet the last piece of the sponsorship criteria. Saralinda says Nick Mason of Pitt and Moore Lawyers in Nelson has already helped, providing free legal services for the group’s bid to save Solomon. Now all they need is an appropriate organisation to help the group meet all the scheme’s criteria. “It’s urgent, because the applications for the community refugee sponsorship close at the end of November and if we miss that we’ll have to wait another year,” she says. “The girls have already lost their mother and Solomon is doing his best to care for them under difficult conditions, but they need to get out.” Anyone who wants to help can contact Saralinda by emailing hsmacmillan@xtra.co.nz The group has also set up a Givealittle page (Help an Eritrean Refugee family) to help fund the settlement of Solomon and his daughters if they are able to emigrate to Nelson.

An artist’s impression of the new playground to be built at Tahunanui.

Tahunanui playground evolves Charles Anderson The playground at Tahunanui has come a long way since the Nelson Lions decided to inject a bit of life into the dunes. Photographs from 1964 show the old concrete train and tortoises that are still at the site. However, a rocket ship slide and rudimentary tunnel are long gone. “Recent attendees at the playground indicate that this is going to be the most popular play area for children in Nelson,” an old edition of the Photo News reads. That prediction arguably came true. And now the playground is getting another makeover – with the replacement of the fort, which was built about 20 years ago. An artist’s impression of the $70,000 new addition shows a modern structure complete with slide, monkey bars, bridge and

climbing frame. Nelson City Council acting chief executive Alec Louverdis says a recent inspection of the old fort revealed it had become “very rusted”, which raised safety concerns. “As it was approaching the end of its expected useful life, replacement with new equipment was already planned, but has now been done ahead of schedule in light of the presence of significant rust.” The old fort has now been dismantled during the school holidays in a move that Alec says is “far from ideal.” “Council … regrets any inconvenience this has caused.” However, all other equipment is still able to be used. “No further work will be happening on site over the holidays,” Alec says. “Work on installing the replacement equipment will happen later in the month.”

Nelson Provincial Museum technicians Errol Shaw, left, with Ian McGuire work on the last negative as part of a seven-year project to digitise and rehouse 157,750 glass plates. They were previously stored in plywood shelving units in the museum’s Isel Park Research Facility, however, this method wasn’t suitable for the continued preservation of the plates. The technicians averaged 220 glass plates a day, although sometimes they got caught up discussing the images they were looking at, including one of Errol’s grandmother in the early 1900s at Collingwood School. “There were some good times, a lot of it was fairly hard going because it’s repetitive in its nature, but it was an important thing to do and we got through it,” says Errol.

Tasman residents watch their cents Tasman district’s young adults watch their pennies the most when it comes to spending on entertainment compared to millennials aged 18 to 35 in other parts of New Zealand, according to data released by Westpac last week. Westpac drilled down into the data of more than 96,000 of its CashNav app users and found that the 18-35s in Tasman spend only around $145 on average per month on entertainment. Not surprisingly, Auckland millennials spend the most at $222. Westpac’s CashNav app allows customers to track their daily spending habits by categorising what they spend their money on and identifying what is holding their saving aspirations back. It also notifies them if their spending is higher than usual. People in Tasman spend the fifth highest on groceries at $654 per month on average, but the fourth lowest on eating out at cafés, restaurants and fast-food outlets at $320 per month. It’s a similar story when it comes to spending on health such as gyms fees, pharmacies, make-up stores and beauty salons, with Tasman residents outlaying around $187 on average per month. Aucklanders spent an average high on health of $271 and Southlanders the low of $167. “People in Tasman appear to be keeping a close eye on their spending, which is good,” Westpac NZ’s Andrew Kerr says

It’s New Zealand’s longest running children’s weekend television show and, as usual, it included plenty of prizes, heaps of fun and quite a lot of gunge. Presenter Chris Kirk was joined by Nelson mayor Rachel Reese, the Nelson Giants and a representative of Natureland, not to mention hundreds of excited local children. One of the main attractions on the day was the inaugural Gunge Run that included a gunge waterslide and a pool of foam. The show also saw performances from local kids including Synergy dance crew.

The hospice is contributing $7.5 million to the project and that leaves $1.5 million to raise through grants and inkind donations on the build and $2.5 million from the community.

And Cliff and Jenni will be offering some free advice on how to keep relationships running smoothly at their Relationship Recharge workshop at the Headingly Centre this Saturday. The Auckland-based couple say the Seven Essentials part of their relationship seminars will focus on the keys to building quality relationships from a fun, practical perspective. “The course is designed to inspire and equip people to have lasting relationships, build foundations for strong families, and take relationships from mediocre to sensational,” Cliff says. “We feel this is extremely relevant to our community, as statistics show that significant numbers of people say they are not spending enough quality time with their spouse or partner or children.” Cliff and Jenni, who established their relationship service Excel Marriages as a charitable trust last year, say people drift apart because they “don’t understand how to develop their relationships”.

A lot of buckles create a WOW Judene Edgar Described as an iconic, must-see tourist destination for visitors, Brightwater woman Lorna Heath was unaware that taking her cousin to the World of WearableArt Museum last Christmas would result in a winning WOW entry. For the first time since WOW started, when a Christchurch designer won the inaugural show in 1987, no Nelson entries took home awards. But in the same way that Australia claims Split Enz, pavlova and Phar Lap, Nelson is claiming winner of the Dame Suzie Moncrieff award, Annina Gull. From Zurich, Annina visited New Zealand for the first time last Christmas to spend time with her cousin, Lorna. Born in Switzerland, Lorna’s family shifted to Nelson when she was just three years old. “It was a rainy day so it seemed like a good place to go,” says Lorna. “I had no idea that such

UEEN STREET

What you need to know The opening of the newest completed section of Queen Street gives a real feel for the fresh street design, with a lower road centre for stormwater control, wide footpaths for an improved pedestrian experience, and no kerb and channel to make life easier for those with limited sight or mobility. The new design means we need to get used to using Queen Street in a slightly different way. For example: • The road carriageway is narrower, so drivers need to take it slow (the legal limit is 30kmh). • The 1-metre wide buffer strip between the footpath and carparks is there for everyone’s safety – it’s not part of the parking space • Cyclists and cars share the road carriageway – please take it slow and be courteous to your fellow road users • The footpath is wide and obstacle-free. It’s a pedestrian-only zone, not an extra traffic lane or manoeuvring space for vehicles. Cars reaching the construction zone at the Richmond Library will need to perform a U-turn to exit the street until the Cambridge Street intersection reopens in

late-November. There is enough room to do this without needing to drive up onto the footpath. Unfortunately there have been some potentially dangerous manoeuvres taking place in this part of the street so we would ask everyone to please use common sense and take care while the street is in this transition phase. We appreciate parking is at a premium, but again, common sense is needed if you wish to park in this area. The following photos show some of the areas that people have been seen parking their cars. These are not car parks.

Thank you to the majority of people who are being careful and sensible in this area – and we appreciate your patience. The end result is going to be a really lovely environment for everyone to enjoy. Please do not park in the red zones

Dancers compete for world title Judene Edgar Nelson hip hop continues to show its domination as Gemma Laing prepares her newest team, Synergy, for the Hip Hop Unite World Championships in Amsterdam later this month. For the full-time coach and former competitive jazz dancer, this will be the third team she’s taken to the world championships in five years. “You can get there, but you just have to work a bit harder when you’re from a small town,” says Gemma. Taking out two second places and three third places at the national championships in Wellington in June, means Synergy will be joining around 2000 dancers from over 20 countries to compete for the world title. “This is a new team that have only been together since the start of this year so they have done amazingly well,” says coach and choreographer Gemma. The team of seven dedicated girls aged between 12 and 17 years, will be competing in the junior crew section. Team member Mia Weir will also be competing in the duo division alongside Christchurch dancer Manaia Davis.

Gemma says there won’t be a lot of sight-seeing with the girls only having one day free after they arrive before heading back into the studio for training. Joining four other teams from New Zealand, a highlight for Gemma is getting to do a haka. “Representing your country and performing the haka alongside all of the other New Zealand teams is quite exciting,” she says. As part of their training regimen the team have also chosen to adopt a “water is the best choice” policy. McCashins customer liaison Emma McCashin says they have been proud sponsors of the Synergy hip hop crew for the past few years and bottle their own Palaeo glacial water from a 350m bore at the brewery site. “We were thrilled when they said they were going to be drinking and promoting water only. They are fantastic role models promoting such an important message,” says Emma. Synergy has also started a Givealittle crowdfunding page to help them meet the last of their funding goals.

you get to see the future stars of speedway do their thing in the Youth Ministock class. An all-round package for that avid speedway fan to enjoy. Just as the dust settles from the two rounds of the Hydraulink War of the Wings series the Sprintcars arrive back in town for the Donaldson Civil South Island Sprintcar Championship. Last season we hosted the New Zealand Sprintcar grand prix and what a show that

was with super-fast lap times and wheel to wheel action all night. Expect the same for this night of racing as the elbows go up and the foot goes to the floor to get that extra pass to get to the front. Often ending in tears for some that don’t quite make the pass or miss that opportunity. Who will be crowned the new champion this season? Be there to find out. The curtain call of the season

as always is the annual Easter Extravaganza this year sponsored by the team at The New Gate Company. This is the one weekend where the club go the extra mile to get competitors from all over the country to compete in all the classes racing over the weekend and it’s a great way for the team at the Milestone Homes Speedway to say thanks to all the race fans and drivers that have supported us during another action packed and busy season. And who knows, the Easter bunny might be back to hand out more Easter Eggs around the place. So that’s our hectic season in a nutshell. If you want to keep up with what’s going on and around the track or just need to get that info you are after, then head to our website at nelsonspeedway.co.nz or like our Facebook page at Nelson Speedway Association - or what’s even better is get the latest news straight to your smart phone by downloading the Nelson Speedway App which is available for both iPhone and Android from their perspective outlets.

Local gardener wins $10,000 landscaping makeover Brittany Spencer A whopping 4000 people put their name in the draw to win a $10,000 Wholesale Landscapes dream makeover at the Nelson Home & Garden MC Murray Leaning, left, guest author Bill Brett, and Wholesale Landscapes marketing manager Jonathan McKeown with Show. winner Jamila Knopp on Saturday. Photo: Brittany Spencer. On Saturday, the top 30 entrants were invited to a VIP event where goodie bags were handed out, spot prizes were awarded, and the grand prize winner was announced. Richmond gardener Jamila Knopp was “floored” when her name was called. Despite her 13-yearold daughter Arielle telling her she was going to win as she left the house, Jamila wasn’t hopeful. “I’ve never won anything before in my life, I still can’t believe it, this is truly amazing!” Jamila’s husband Kieron Goodwin says she took him to every single stall at the show and was very eager to enter the competition. “She really deserves this, the outdoor part of our house is her passion but she hasn’t been able to do much with it yet so winning this has brought a lot of joy.” Already, Jamila has plans that include better fencing, some wind shelter, a big veggie garden, fruit trees, an outdoor area and a highlyrequested grapevine for her husband. Wholesale Landscapes marketing manager Jonathan McKeown says her reaction was the type “you could only hope for”. “She was very excited and everyone else in the room was infected by her happiness and gave a really loud cheer. We’ve got a really great winner.” SAVINGS Jamila says she loves gardening, being artistic ONLINE and designing outdoor areas, but she hasn’t had the chance to really make over their property. This week, a landscape architect will meet with Jamila, go through what she’s wanting, come up with a plan and then Wholesale Landscapes will look after everything, leaving Jamila with CURTAIN the garden of her dreams. *

While completion of the Queen St upgrade project is scheduled for next year, progress is certainly being made with the first two stages done and dusted, giving Richmond cause to celebrate. Compliments have flooded in for the fresh-faced look of the main street, with the first two stages leaving everyone in eager anticipation for what’s to come. The upcoming First Taste event stems from the Queen St upgrade, offering the perfect chance for people to head down and check out the transformation. “The other side to the event is about creating an opportunity for Queen St businesses to reconnect with people in the area,” says Tasman District Council’s community partnerships officer, Lani Evans. The street will be closed to traffic and stage two, between Cambridge St and McIndoe Pl will come alive with a variety of food stalls, entertainment and activities. The idea behind The First Taste event is to create a multi-cultural street market with

Tables and seating will line the street so people can settle down with something to eat as they soak up the aesthetics of their brand-new main street. Live music will also be a major

part of The First Taste event, including two Waimea College youth bands, Relm and Dead Beats, InRhythm drumming, a performance by the Bhutanese community, as well as a piece from children of the Chinese community. Organisers are also excited to be offering several cultural

New Location

Factory Road, Brightwater

Three years ago, Shelley Sims said goodbye to the franchise she’d spent nine years with and decided to establish her own independent bakery. The resulting business, FreshBake, has gone from strength to strength and with public demand showing no sign of subsiding, has finally outgrown its small Hardy St premises. “It became apparent about two years ago that we weren’t going to achieve any more growth in 62sqm, so I started looking around for other places and I’ll remember for the rest of my life standing here when this was just nothing and now it’s this amazing facility,” says Shelley. The new bakery sits on 250sqm, around four times the size of their Hardy St space and features some much-appreciated extras including a bigger retail space and lots of carparking. “We have eight staff at the moment and when there were five staff on at Hardy St we just played twister all the time. In doing that we were not working efficiently, but out here we will have an entirely new layout and producShelley Sims from FreshBake is thrilled to be in her new premises on Faction schedule,” says Shelley. Those who have already paid the new site a tory Rd, in Brightwater. Purpose-built, the new bakery and retail space visit love the fact it’s an open bakery, with all is around four times the size of the previous site on Nelson’s Hardy St.

SpOrt bread and pastry-making processes on display for customers to watch. “All of our products are made on site and it’s all baked fresh each day,” says Shelley. “And our products only go through two sets of hands, the bakers and the packers.” One of the major reasons the FreshBake brand has taken off is their specialty area of doughnuts, including the cronut and floss nuts, incorporating candy floss. “I’m quite obsessed with creating, I’d love to go overseas one day and get some ideas and Nelson really has embraced our creations. In these new premises, I’ll have a lot more time to play and that’s the part of the job I really enjoy,” says Shelley. Open seven days, all year round apart from Christmas Day, FreshBake is a busy and bustling business that looks forward to future expansion. While Shelley doesn’t want to lose the local, handmade element of the business, she’s also keen to maintain FreshBake’s growth and says she looks forward

to employing additional staff from the Brightwater area. As well as pies, bread, pastries and a range of doughnuts, FreshBake will also be serving up Kush coffee and a range of cold drinks, to be enjoyed on the go or outside at one of the picnic benches. The FreshBake food cart will also be out and about again over summer, while the delivery van also operates seven days a week, ensuring people get fresh bakery products delivered to their door, including FreshBake’s range of bread boxes. With FreshBake now operating out of their Brightwater site, the Hardy St shop and kitchen will be leased by a new business, Don Rodrigo Sourdough Bakery. For online orders or to enquire about catering, check out FreshBake’s website at www.freshbake. co.nz, or follow them on Facebook. To get your hands on some of their products, come and visit their brand-new bakery on Factory Rd, Brightwater. Turn left on to Factory Rd, just past the Brightwater bridge.

Big day at the track for Louise Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Richmond’s Louise Smulian was busier than most at the South Island Masters Games, not only competing in four events at the athletics at Saxton Field on a wet Saturday but also acting as the event coordinator. The Nelson College for Girls physical education teacher is on the Saxton Field track committee and is a member of the Top of the South Athletics Trust. She has also been the official time keeper at the Saxton Field track for six or seven years and put her hand up to be the athletics event coordinator for the SIMG. But there was no way Louise was going to let her administrative duties get in the way of some fun, so she also entered four events at the games, dash-

ing in and out of the timekeeping room to compete in the W55 shot, javelin, discus and 100m.

Louise Smulian and Aynsley Moore in the timekeeping room at the Saxton Field athletics track on Saturday. Photo: Simon Bloomberg. Louise showed, that at 56, she is still in good shape, clocking 17.46sec in the 100m and re-

cording an impressive 8.49m for the shot, 17.46m in the javelin and 17.29m in the discus. “I used to do the 800m, shot and discus at school but haven’t competed for a few years now,” Louise says. “I only took up sprinting until I got older because I do sprinty sports these days.” By sprinty sports, Louise means playing touch twice a week during the summer following stints playing rugby for Waimea Old Boys, as well as football. She says playing touch and keeping up with her students at Nelson College for Girls ensured she was fit enough to compete at the games. “It’s been a busy day competing and making sure the events run smoothly but I have a great team of volunteers helping me out – I’m very good at delegation.”

Triathlete getting ready for Kona

Nelson hosts gymnastics championships Jessie Johnston Nelson welcomed competitors from all over the country last week when it played host to the 2017 New Zealand Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Around 400 athletes from 16 provinces descended on Trafalgar Centre for the event which started on Friday and ran through the weekend. “We’ve loved Trafalgar Centre, the venue is perfect for this type of competition and it’s great being in a smaller town because there’s so much support around it too,”

says Gymnastics NZ event manager, Rebecca Weber. “Even with the spectator numbers throughout the championships, it definitely seems as through people came down to support the event, so it’s been a really great atmosphere.” Artistic gymnastics includes a floor routine and vault, while the men’s only events feature the pommel horse, still rings, parallel bars and high bar. The women also competed on the uneven bars and balance beam. The Top of the South (TOP)

team included 14 athletes from Gymnastics Nelson and four from Blenheim. “It was pretty successful, we got 21 medals all up and for a group of only 18, that’s not too bad. “I think we placed eighth in the medal haul out of the 16 provinces that were represented,” says TOP women’s artistic coach Karyn Brown. “For Hannah Bloomfield and Ella Nichols, it was their last competition, they’re both retiring and they both went out on a high.” The team’s results include: Sienna Rajek (STEP 5) second

In the men’s competition, Tom Pearson (Level 5) achieved third on the still rings while William Fu-Allen (Men’s U18) placed second in vault and third for floor, pommel and high bar.

Nelson triathlete Alan Bryson completed his final preparation for the Ironman World champs in Kona in Hawaii this Sunday when he posted a fast 4hr 41min 9sec in the Sunshine Coast 70.3 Ironman last week. Alan, who is a swim coach at the Richmond Aquatic Centre, will be competing in the 40-44 age group in his first shot at the world champs in Kona. He also completed his final “big training day” in Hawaii this week riding 155km out toward Hawi and back and then running for 30 minutes in intense heat. Alan also completed a practise swim around the 3.8km open water course in 1hr 2mins, which is the fastest he has recorded for the Ironman distance.

Alan Bryson looks up his name on the entry list at Kona this week.

Home ground advantage didn’t help with the Brightwater Motor Inn Supercharged BUGS winning this season’s Barrel 51 Pool Competition held at the Post Boy Hotel. Every Monday night for five months over winter, five teams have competed for this year’s honours. Now in its twelth year, Supercharged BUGS captain Charlie Bensemann says they were delighted to welcome a new sponsor, Barrel 51, on board. And despite it being a very close competition, the Brightwater Motor Inn team won the overall trophy for their eighth time. “We are very proud of this feat and would like to thank the Brightwa-

ter Motor Inn and Supercharge Batteries for their support,” says Charlie. “It’s basically been the same Brightwater team but under different names.” However, this year the team welcomed 16-year-old newcomer Chris Lepper to the team. “It’s great having Chris join the team. He’s shaping up to be a really sharp player.” The final results were Brightwater Supercharged BUGS 90 points, Richmond Star Bombers 84 points, Brightwater Motor Inn Travellers 83 points, Post Boy Knights 79 points and the Post Boy Misfits 64 points. Top male player was Barry Weavers from Brightwater Motor Inn Travellers with 12 wins and top female player was Donna Peoples from Richmond Star Bombers with 10 wins.

Golf encouraging more Tough tennis matches at masters women into the sport Golf clubs around the region are encouraging girls and women to get into golf. She Loves Golf is a national campaign run by New Zealand Golf to get more women in the sport. Nelson regional golf manager Chris Pugh says all of the region's club are hosting an open day this Sunday at the Greenacres golf course in Richmond. "It's just an opportunity to get along either by themselves or

with their family and just give it a go, basically. "We want to get rid of that perception that golf is a sport for boring old men. It's a great sport for active ladies, young girls and older women." No equipment is needed at the day and coaches will be on hand to lend some advice. There will be plenty for kids to do as well. She Loves Golf will be held from 11am to 2pm this Sunday, October 15.

The inaugural singles tennis competition took place at this year’s SI Masters Games in perfect tennis playing conditions. Traditionally, doubles is the format for SI Master tennis, however the call to add singles to the competition proved worthwhile. Kelvin Williams pulled out all stops against Richard Fry in an exciting three set match in the competitive 35/45+ grade, testing the limits of both players. Fry won the first set in a tiebreak, only to have Williams break back and take control in the second, with a third full set going to another tiebreak; Williams prevailing 6/7, 6/4, 7/6. Williams faced Wellington player Simon Richardson in the final, again being pushed to three sets before taking gold 6/0, 4/6, 10/4. Richardson won the silver medal and Fry, bronze. Competitive 55+/65+ saw Kevin Wilson romp home to take gold, conceding

Women’s competitive singles kept spectators occupied with an array of skills on court. Heidi Mayer and Jillian Cavan’s closely fought match produced the best in both players, Mayer got the edge early in the final tiebreak to win 6/4, 4/6, 10/3. Alice Anderson had consistently good games to take the women's competitive gold medal, winning all her matches in straight sets, with Mayer silver and Jill Cavan bronze. Maureen Miles took the gold for 65+ competitive, Jan Linn won gold in the 55+ women’s social, with Sandra Bishop the silver winner.

Arizona to Paton Rise trunk water main The first stage is the installation of a trunk water main to enable development of the Paton Rise and Arizona subdivisions. This work will run from October 2017 through to February 2018. The work will involve digging a trench along the edge of the road, installing water main pipes and then reinstating the road. Traffic management will be in place along the shoulder of Bateup Road and Paton Road and a stop/go operation will be used when required. More information, including who to contact for enquiries, is available on our website, www.tasman.govt.nz (search phrase Richmond South Water Main).

Another round of Land Rezoning for Wakefield We are proposing a second round of zoning changes for Wakefield in response to community feedback. The proposals are: • Re-zone some land on Bird Lane from rural to residential (deferred until infrastructure is in place) • Re-zone some land at Totara View Road from rural residential to rural • Re-zone some land at Higgins Road from rural to rural residential (deferred) • Specify the location for an indicative walkway between Genia Drive and Kilkenny Place. These ideas were suggested in submissions on an earlier round of rezoning and rule changes for Wakefield, which were designed to manage likely population growth over the next 20 years. After carrying out more research and talking to those likely to be affected, we are ready to formally propose extra changes to the Tasman Resource Management Plan and invite your submissions.

No soft plastics in kerbside bins please Soft plastics must be dropped off at participating supermarkets for recycling - not put out in your kerbside bin. There has been a big increase in the amount of soft plastics contamination in kerbside recycling bins lately. It seems lots of you are really keen to recycle soft plastics – and that’s great. Unfortunately though, if you put them in your kerbside bin our contractor will not be able to take your recycling. We are not set up to deal with soft plastics – they are too light for our gravity-based sorting system, they can jam the machinery and we do not have the handling systems to bundle, compact and bale them. Soft plastics can only be recycled through the Love NZ soft plastics recycling scheme offered by New World, Countdown and Pak'nSave supermarkets, so please collect them up and drop them off when you next take a trip to the grocery store. Find out more about the scheme at www.recycling.kiwi.nz/ solutions/soft-plastics.
