Malls, haircuts, restaurants: all go now Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Malls, hairdressers, and restaurants and cafés will be able to open again once the country moves into Alert Level 2. this week. On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Arden announced that New Zealand will move to Alert Level 2 on Thursday. Border restrictions will remain in

place, but Kiwis will be allowed to travel freely around the country, but people should keep their distance at airports.

The Prime Minister said that people will no longer need to stick to their bubble, and can see family and friends again, but will need to limit gathering to 10 people.

Social distancing, hygiene, and contact tracing will still apply.

You can have people over for dinner, but no large parties.

School’s will also be open on Monday 18, but distance learning will be an option for students that are unable to return to school, such as people isolating because they are unwell. Things will start to look more like normal for the hospitality sector, with bars and cafes able to open, but businesses need to apply the three Ss. The first is seated, capacity for how many people can be seated.

The second S is separation, there

needs to be space between tables and people, and the third S is single server – each table must have a single server rather than ordering at the counter. However, bars will not be able to open until Thursday, May 21. Hairdressers will be able to open again, but the experience will feel different from that last trim before lockdown. Staff will need to wear protective equipment, and limit contact with customers.

Retail stores and mall will be able to open again under level 2, but surfaces must be cleaned, and malls should be treated like supermarkets, with limited entry and appropriate PPE. The Prime Minister said that while the aim of alert level 3 was to restrict contact as much as possible, the goal for alert level 2 is to reduce contact with strangers. Health practices remain the same, including ‘stay at home if you are unwell.’

Local cheesemakers win top prize Matt McCrorie A local cheesemaker has recently won an impressive set of national awards.

Thorvald Cheese, based in the Moutere, with an outlet at the Junction Shop in Appleby, won two awards at the New Zealand Champions of Cheese Awards, announced last week, and cheesemaker Francis Bigot says he is “absolutely thrilled.”

Thorvold Cheese is owned by Sue and David Barrett, who previously owned Stoke Fruit and Vege, as well as Sprig and Fern in Richmond.

Big shout out to team Nelson for staying home, being kind, and saving lives.

I’m hoping we can use this time as an opportunity to show how much we value our local businesses.

We will need to work hard on caring for each other as we rebuild.

Essential workers have worked hard to keep the region supplied and running, and they deserve a huge amount of our respect.

Level 2 still hurts small operators Matt McCrorie The reintroduction of domestic air travel under Alert Level 2 will be a huge step forward for the Nelson and Tasman region, says Nelson Airport CEO Rob Evans.

Rob says that the rules around air travel for level 2 are “much better than expected”.

“We can see a real return to domestic travel … As a geographically isolated region, air travel is critical for us. Not just for our tourism, but for business too.”

Rob says that under level 2 Nelson Airport will be operating five flights per day, with two services to Auckland, two to Wellington, and one to Christchurch.

“These are the key Air New Zealand routes, so it will be good to have those up and running again.”

Rob says that air travel will feel quite different than what people have been used to.

“Physical distancing will be key, and they can only use half the seats.”

He says, in the short term, there will be a lot of changes. People’s attitudes might be slightly different, and there are some good things that will come out of this in terms of hygiene practice and health and safety.

However, Rob says that while travel may feel different for a time being, things will eventually return to some sort of normal.

“I think mankind is always destined to travel and explore. Aviation is still an exciting way to travel, and I think people will reengage with that.

Originair CEO Rob Inglis says that the lockdown has been disappointing after a strong summer for Originair.

“We had a very stronger summer and were planning to expand our services, but from a schedule

He says that being able to operate charter flights for essential service workers has “been very helpful”. Rob says that it may be difficult for Originair to operate under level 2 restrictions.

“We are concerned that it would be difficult to meet the Govern-

ment’s physical distancing requirements in any aircraft, including our smaller craft.”

Rob says that air travel in the Nelson region will look different for the rest of the year.

“During the winter period, 25 per cent of the traffic is leaving Nelson to catch international flights – that will reduce travel too.

Meanwhile, Air New Zealand has proposed closing its heavy maintenance facility in Nelson, resulting in the loss of 100 highly skilled jobs. The proposal would see the facility moved from Nelson to Christchurch. A petition to keep the facility in Nelson, launched by Willie Snowden, has now received over 16,000 signatures. Nelson mayor Rachel Reese, Tasman mayor Tim King, and Nelson Airport chair Paul Steere sent a joint letter to Air New Zealand to ask for an opportunity to discuss the relocation proposal. Rob Evans said there is a lot of concern for those in the community who might be affected by the move.

“The flow on effect of those families and the wider community, that will be really difficult.

“We are working with regional maintenance to do our best to try and keep it here.”

Help available for stressed farmers Jacob Page Rural property owners in the Top of the South are facing real challenges as a result of a protracted drought and the response to Covid-19, says Top of the South Rural Support Trust chair Richard Kempthorne.

Richard is encouraging farmers in the Top of the South region to ask for help if needed.

“We really appreciate the work farmers and producers do, growing the food we rely on and supporting our economy,” he says.

“We are actively supporting them through the difficult decisions they are having to make now to get through the winter.

“While drought isn’t new to our farmers, the combined effects of drought and Covid-19 have complicated things, and we are especially mindful that lifestyle block owners may not be familiar with planning months in advance for their animals.”

Months of low rainfall have left parts of Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough with very little pasture growth to support farm animals.

Many livestock owners are short of feed going into winter, having already used up

supplements. Conserved feed supplies throughout the region are currently in critically short supply and this is unlikely to improve until late spring.

Chair of Nelson Federated Farmers, Martin O’Connor,

Former Mayor of Tasman Richard Kempthrone says stock owners will be feeling the pinch.

“The pressure is really on stock owners who have been worst affected by the extended summer/autumn drought.”

The usual solution of destocking has been made more complicated by the closure of saleyards and delays at meat processors as a consequence of Covid-19 safety measures.

Rural property owners – including lifestyle block or hobbyists – are being urged to take

action now.

“Get support for feed planning by calling your trusted advisor, talk to your normal feed supplier, use one of the free feed planning services listed below, check the AgriHQ feed noticeboard, and secure sufficient feed for the next few months,” Richard advises.

“And call us on 0800 RURAL HELP if you would like someone to talk to – we are free and confidential.

Destocking needs to be planned early, too. Contact your local agent, buy/sell groups, and local processing plant representatives as early as possible, to check their current protocols and wait times.

Ministry for Primary Industries Animal Welfare Officer Paul Soper says farmers are acutely aware that they are responsible for the welfare of their animals.

“We are here to assist rural property owners to understand the choices they can make to look after their animals through this challenging time.

No-one wants to see stressed animals and stressed owners, so talk to your trusted advisor, your vet,or get in contact with us or one of the support agencies.”

I hope everyone is enjoying the opportunity to visit a loved one, or add someone else to your bubble. And it is so good to see more of our local businesses up and running!

Following the lead of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, some mayors and councillors are taking voluntary pay cuts, but some are saying that the move does nothing to help ease the burden on ratepayers.

Elected members of local government do not have the ability to reduce their pay, which is set by the Remuneration Authority.

Councils are required to allocate remuneration for their councillors from a pool of funds set by the authority. For the Tasman District Council, the pool for 20192020 was set at $624,528.

All of that pool must be used for councillors’ salaries, with the remuneration authority setting a base salary of $37,417 for councillors, however, a base salary of $44,930 was agreed upon by councillors late last year.

The remainder of the funds are allocated based on various councillors’ responsibilities and duties. Chairs and deputy chairs of committees, for example, received more.

“Funding for non-profits has dried up, and I recognise the best way to help is for people who are still working like myself to donate a portion

decide, and it’s that way so that people don’t play politics with it.”

Tim says that it’s important to remember that councillor salary is there to encourage diversity.

“You don’t want being on the council limited to just those who can afford it. Even locally – we’ve seen an increase in diversity recently, and you want people with different

perspectives, so this is quite an important part of that.”

“For some people taking cuts its easy – for others it can be very difficult – this is why it’s set nationally rather than locally,” Tim says.

“Everyone has different circumstances – some people have families, some are retired, some have different sources of income, some are on a single income, so you can’t apply the same standard to everyone.”

While councillors taking a pay cut won’t have an impact on rates, Tim says that other moves, like the council’s decision to have a zero rates increase for the next year, can be a significant way to ease the burden on ratepayers.

“There is now a huge amount of work for council to do to work that out, to continue core service delivery, to manage our environment and future projects. That is where the gains are to be made for ratepayers, for us to be more efficient and productive and then limit revenue increases. That is going to require a huge amount of work and effort.”

Councils asks government for more money Matt McCrorie The Nelson and Tasman regions are looking for a cash injection from the Government to aid in the economic recovery from Covid-19.

The Tasman District Council along with the Nelson City Council have submitted 14 priority projects to the government as it looks for ‘shovel-ready’ projects around the country to boost the economy once New Zealand begins to move into recovery mode.

The two Councils have submitted 27 projects overall to the Infrastructure Industry Reference Group, asking the government for $155.4.

This represents employment for 2,434 people across the Nelson-Tasman region.

The process to identify suitable projects across the region has been managed by project Kokiri, a joint venture between Tasman District Council, Nelson City Council, Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce and the Nelson Regional Development Agency.

NRDA chair, Meg Matthews, says that there are advantages to a regional approach.

“In presenting a regional bid that aligns our competitive advantage and supports economic drivers, we are better

Photo: Supplied. positioned to leverage this, and any future central government investments, as we move through response into recovery mode.” $32.6m requested for the Waimea Dam was the largest funding request from the joint venture.

The Government has received nearly 1800 project submissions from around the country.

Last week, Cabinet approved the fast tracking of shovelready projects, bypassing the Resource Management Act. Environment Minister David Parker, who made the announcement last week, said that speed is needed to get the economy moving

again.

“The consenting and approval processes that are used in normal circumstances don’t provide the speed and certainty we need now in response to the economic fallout from Covid-19. The new processes will get projects started sooner and people into jobs faster.”

Tasman Mayor Tim King says that the projects that affect Tasman are much needed and would see a welcome boost for the regional economy.

Water infrastructure projects, the Waimea Dam, and active transport are of the big areas that the Tasman District Council is keen to

see some funding for.

Tim says that a lot more people have been out cycling and walking over the last six weeks.

“People are enjoying that and want to see more infrastructure in their community to make that possible and safe – that’s a major focus, connecting urban areas together.”

“Wastewater and drinking water are another area of focus for the council, to support future urban growth and development.

Tim says that the shovelready project funding is crucial for the Tasman region’s economic recovery.

“The Government wants us to invest in infrastructure to support economic recovery, so it is vital for us to get that support from Government to justify spending ratepayers’ money.”

Tim says that a boost to infrastructure projects around the region not only directly employs people, but that it gets more money flowing around the Tasman region.

“It’s about getting that money into the region and having it flowing around. That money then goes on to support hospitality, retail and other small businesses, and those people will need our support.”

Local cheesemakers win top prize from PAGE 1 two awards this year,” says Sue. Business Development Manager Virginia Thomas says it was ‘really awesome’ to win trophies for two of their brands at the awards - Throvald Cheese and Little River Estate.

Thorvald Cheese is made from Sheep’s milk, while their Little River Estate brand is from local cow’s milk. Run by the New Zealand Specialist Cheesemakers Association for the 17th year, Australian Master Judge Russell Smith oversaw judging pre-lockdown on Sunday, 23 February, working with 25 specialist judges. With around 300 entries, competition was tough.

The CHR Hansen Champion Soft White Rind Cheese award went to Little River Estate’s brie cheese, made from cows’ milk.

“As you can imagine, brie and camembert was a massive category,” says Virginia. “It was very exciting to win that one.”

Virginia thinks that a local collaboration with Oaklands Milk may have been the winning ingredient for the Little River Estate brie.

“We use Oaklands milk and beautiful milk helps you to make beautiful cheese, and it’s local too, so it’s a

really cool collaboration.”

The second trophy won was the Dish Champion Sheep Cheese award, which the Thorvald Curado took home.

“It’s a semi-hard cheese, made in the style of a French mountain cheese. It’s nutty, it has a caramel hint, it’s got a beautiful smooth texture. It’s a cooked curd, so the curds are heated in their own way and that brings out the sweetness of the milk.”

Virginia says that people wait all year for the Curado. “We don’t release it until we think that it’s ready, so it can be a five month wait.”

Virginia says while the circumstances were different this year thanks to the nationwide lockdown, it was still exciting to win.

“The New Zealand cheese industry is really exciting. It’s the next craft beer.”

One of the exciting things about the industry in New Zealand is the ‘ingenuity,’ Virginia says.

“Our cheesemakers can do things that have a real New Zealand flavour to it. We are known for that number eight wire mentality and giving it a go, and that’s the fun thing about being a cheesemaker here,” she says.

Network Tasman resumes planned network maintenance As COVID-19 restrictions on business operations have eased, Network Tasman has resumed work on essential network maintenance and upgrades.

It is important that we continue to invest in our network as we approach the colder winter months. In some instances, this work requires outages on our network.

We recognise that these outages can be difficult for some consumers to manage and we are working to ensure the duration of these outages is minimised. It is in the best interests of all our consumers that we undertake planned outages now, to help avoid longer unplanned outages later.

You may see Network Tasman vehicles and field staff out working on the network. In line with COVID-19 guidelines, Network Tasman staff are operating under strict social distancing rules.

If you are experiencing a power outage, please call our 24hr fault response line on 0800 508 100.

A Garin College teacher will be remembered with respect and love.

After 45 years as a fulltime teacher, Mrs Sheilagh Ditchfield has decided to leave school for the last time.

Sheilagh joined Garin College in Richmond in 2004 as a mathematics teacher after an already long career.

“I started teaching 1975, and it was a different world,” she says.

“It’s amazing to see the progression. When I started teaching, we weren’t even allowed a calculator in a classroom. And now suddenly we have gone totally remote. It is really interesting.”

Sheilagh has been in a variety of roles throughout her career, including senior management, but chose to step back and go back to the classroom in 2002.

She began her teaching career in Zimbabwe, before teaching on the West Coast and finally in Nelson.

Teaching was always her calling.

“I don’t remember ever wanting to do anything other than teach.”

She says she was lucky in her career.

“I’m one of the ones who was fortunate – I did what I wanted to do, and I’ve always been so happy with it, and I’ve had a wide range of positions within the schools.”

Principal John Maguire says that Sheilagh’s hard work has been a key part of Garin’s success.

John says that as head of mathematics, Sheilagh has gained

Nelson Matters My work over the last two months has been frantic supporting Nelson through this unprecedented national health emergency. It has involved getting children essential specialist foods, access for families to dying loved ones, permits for people in exceptional circumstances to travel, delivery of food and getting homeless into safe accommodation. My focus has now shifted to Nelson’s economic recovery.

Hundreds of Nelson jobs have already been lost. The sectors hardest hit have been tourism, hospitality, retail, aviation and international students. We have hundreds of small businesses in Nelson that have been bleeding cash for two months who are at risk of going under if we do not act quickly and smartly.

The Government should be commended on the wage subsidy scheme modelled on what National did to support jobs in the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes. The problem is it runs out at the end of this month.

I am advocating for four things to help Nelson’s recovery. Firstly, we need to get Nelson back working with practical rules. I worry that

the utmost respect of students, colleagues and parents.

“Garin College has benefited immensely from Sheilagh’s extensive knowledge and professionalism.

At the heart of every moment in Sheilagh’s teaching and leadership is her desire for every student to succeed in life and learning.”

Sheilagh has always believed education to be a calling, a vocation, John says.

“It was always about the students - teaching the student – not just a subject.”

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

few Ministers have any real world business experience and that excessive rules will just cause more job losses.

The Nelson Council went down this path last week starting $200,000 of work on alterations to Trafalgar Street that would have removed dozens of carparks and making a hotchpotch of our city centre. This was supposedly to make it safe for pedestrians despite the latest evidence showing the risks of getting Covid-19 outside from passers-by is negligible. Thankfully a last minute protest by retailers saw Council boss Pat Dougherty put a stop to the work. It’s a reminder that Councils and Government needs to be closely engaged with business.

Secondly, business needs help with cashflow. The wage subsidy was just money to pass onto workers. These businesses have still had rent, insurance and many other bills to pay with little income. The Government’s tax relief package for small business is poorly designed and of little help.

National’s announced policy this week would put an average $50,000 into each of Nelson’s 3,000 small and medium businesses.

Thirdly, we need specific support to rebuild Nelson’s tourism and hospitality sector. Tourism Minister Kelvin Davis has been missing in action. We are an attractive domestic destination but it needs strong promotion. We also need to urgently find safe ways to reopen trans-Tasman tourism and the re-entry of international students.

My fourth push is for smart Government infrastructure. I was delighted to see Nelson’s new cycle trials so busy last weekend when biking with family to and from Rabbit Island. This $100m national cycleways came from the 2009 Jobs Summit as part of National’s response to the last economic crisis. We also wisely invested millions in insulating over 3,000 Nelson cold damp homes. The Government needs in this week’s Budget to show the same sort of innovation. I am also pushing to get on with upgrading our hospital and highways.

Nelson has showed tremendous resilience and unity in fighting the virus. We now need the same determination to save jobs and rebuild our economy.

Tasman and Ricmond real estate market is strong Jacob Page Real estate agents believe Richmond and the greater Tasman region are well placed to ride out the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Craig Hamilton from Mike Pero Real Estate in Richmond says, because the region had established industries and was not heavily reliant on tourism, he expected minimal long term impact on house prices and sales. ”We have the fishing, the horticulture, apples and kiwi fruit are going really good, logging is big here, so we aren’t reliant totally on tourism. ”With interest rates being so low and probably going to go lower, a lot of people, as long as they have jobs, will continue to buy,” he says. ”Once we get through this, I think people will look to spend their money again and that will keep the economy going.”

Craig says he still had offers and sales going on houses during this period and, while he acknowl-

edged open homes may take a back-seat to appointment viewings, he expected prices to remain steady but potentially with a dip in the number of houses for sale.

Lydia Heyward from Bayleys Richmond says sales are still being made.

She says the new regulations around viewings and sanitisation will make both agents and buyers more organised.

“It’s tough to make a blanket statement about what the market will do, but I think the lower end of the market could slow down as people and families do their due diligence before buying property,” she said.

She also believes the Nelson and Tasman regions could be seen as tourist hotspots if travel becomes more domestic-oriented.

“I don’t think vendors will be as comfortable with open homes as they used to be because we will need to do contact tracing.”

She believed video tours could be the way of the future, and open homes with rubberneckers could be a thing of the past.

What Tasman can do to boost our local economy Covid-19 alert levels three and four have been a hard endurance test for many local businesses and in the coming weeks and months, your support could well determine the survival of some companies. When lockdown level 3 was enacted, locals welcomed the ‘click and collect’ and home delivery options available, which have enabled them to purchase local products in a safe manner. With this week’s announcement that alert level 2 will get underway

from midnite on Wednesday, it is fantastic news that many local businesses can operate if it can be done safely. From Thursday (May 14th), shops, malls, cafés, restaurants, shops, cinemas, health services, butcheries, and bakers can all reopen.

Businesses can have customers on their premises if have good contact registers, maintain physical distancing of one metre between customers and regularly disinfect surfaces. So, it is exciting that people are able

to visit physical stores again and have an enjoyable customer experience. We can all look forward to dining out again too, although cafés and restaurants will need to keep groups seated and separated.

When you buy local products, it’s heartening to know that you are supporting locals and boosting the Tasman economy. After all, it’s local businesses which employ our friends, neighbours and family members who will spend their money here.

Hope For All A diverse group of churches from throughout New Zealand have come together to give hope to all in the current crisis. This information is from the booklet ‘Hope for All’ and printed with permission and is currently being distributed in our region by the Richmond-Waimea Churches. It gives an overview of how healthcare has been provided by men and women of faith for two thousand years, following the example of Jesus: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink… I was sick and you looked after me …whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:35-40 Who cares for the poor?

It’s hard for us to imagine how different life was in the ancient world. Healthcare was only available to the rich — and they were cared for in their homes.

There were no hospitals like we know them — although the Romans sometimes had

military hospitals for soldiers so they could recover to fight another day. Ideas of charity similar to those we have today did not exist.

Then came Jesus. Early Christian communities following him have been credited with introducing major changes that resulted in care for the sick around the world — including here in New Zealand.

From the 4th century AD onwards, when the official persecution of the Christian faith ended, Christians became overt agents of social reform.

Gregory of Nyssa declared that “those with leprosy were made in the image of God, and therefore should be cared for”. Those present at a church leaders’ gathering in Nicaea in 325AD responded by agreeing that wherever the Church was established, places of care for the needy should be also. Jesus’ teachings were changing our world.

The first hospitals — AD300 Basil of Caesarea (329–379) founded the first large-scale Christian hospital in 369AD. It had 300 beds and focused on

This is the Christian belief!

GOD?

Does it make sense to say everything came from nothing with no cause?

Does it make sense to suggest that the huge complexities of the first living cells came about, and came to life, by chance?

Might the idea of an Intelligent Creator be a fair conclusion when we see design, information and complexity?

WHAT OF GOOD AND EVIL?

God came to Earth in Jesus to show us his ways, and to die for our wrongs — after which he rose back to life. God intervened within history — because he does loves us, and has a plan!

The question of faith is, how will we respond? A gift is offered that we all need: it is God’s forgiveness — enabling restored friendship with God. We are then also restored to God’s good purpose for us on Earth, and then to the hope of eternal life beyond.

It is a hope-filled belief!

God loves each of us, and offers us a new start.

Hope For All ministry of missionary medicine during the twentieth century has been without a doubt the greatest humanitarian effort the world has ever known…” Dr Ruth Tucker, Missiologist Henare Taratoa - Caring for sick enemies Hone Taratoa was born around 1830 on Rangiwaea Island in Tauranga Harbour. He was baptised by Henry Williams - whose name he took, becoming Henare Wiremu Taratoa.

Embracing the Christian faith, he travelled for an education in Northland, which continued at the new St John’s College in Auckland. Taratoa became a man of knowledge and faith, who could function well in both the Māori and Pākehā worlds.

A teacher of Māori Taratoa became a respected teacher in missionary schools, and published a book called The Teaching of Arithmetic. He was the first Māori to travel with

missionaries to teach in the Pacific, then taught for many years at the mission school in Ōtaki.

Taratoa was highly regarded and highly connected, knowing missionaries, bishops, governors - and their families The call to war Then in 1859 his mother wrote to him. War had broken out in Waikato.

As Māori embraced the Christian faith they had turned away from the ways of war — but what about selfdefence? The British were building a road across land in Waikato that Māori did not want to sell. Te Tiriti o Waitangi guaranteed them the right to keep their lands. In Tauranga, those supporting Kingitanga (the Māori King) had likewise placed their land under the mana of the Māori King — to prevent any further sales. Taratoa told his co-worker, Missionary Hadfield, that he was going to return to Tauranga to die with his own people.

New beginning for established gate and pool company The owners of The New Gate Company and Narellan Pools Nelson, Julie and Glen Berkett, were excited at the prospect of moving into their new premises on Gladstone Road, but in the middle of shifting, Covid-19 alert level 4 was enacted.

“Before level 4, we had started to move the powder coating side of the business and the offices, then the Covid-19 lockdown struck, so we had to load up the trailers and bring everything back ourselves,” says Julie. “It was great to be able to start operating again in alert level 3 at our new premises at 58A Gladstone Road, which is beside Goldpine.” On July 3rd this year, Julie and Glen will celebrate 14 years in business

together. Although the couple have fond memories of their previous location in Echodale Place, the shift has been really worthwhile. “Our new landlord has done a big refit including nice new offices. We had to build more powder coating booths to have the place up and running specifically for what we do, and our guys are enjoying their spacious new workshop.” The refit and building work started last October and was completed prior to the lockdown.

Custom-designed fences and gates In 2007, Julie and Glen decided to purchase ‘The New Gate Company’ which complements their Narellan Pool business really well and draws on Glen’s background in engi-

neering. “We started out with three of us and now we have a team of 20. It’s a great team with a vast knowledge base and expertise including qualified engineers, aluminium joiners and landscapers,” says Glen.

“We specialise in manufacturing and installing a wide variety of gates, fences and pergolas, built to our customers individual requirements. If someone has a picture of a product they like we can make it to order. We do a lot of commercial security fencing. We would also be the biggest supplier and installers of gate automation in the district.” The balustrade workshop manufactures and installs glass or aluminium balustrades to decks or stairs and our engineering workshop manufactures everything from aluminium louvres to trailers.

Stepping up to help region’s foodbanks Jonty Dine

Leading the way in environmentally responsible waste management Congratulations Julie and Glen on the move to your new premises 42 Quarantine Rd, Annesbrook, Nelson Ph 0800 240 120

The Trafalgar Park Pavilion has been transformed into a foodbank with mountains of products to help feed our most vulnerable.

Local banking institution NBS, has made substantial donations to foodbanks through the Tasman and West Coast regions.

NBS CEO Tony Cadigan says the NBS team prides itself on giving back to the community and takes a local approach when distributing sponsorship and making donations.

“The impact on our communities due to Covid-19 has been significan,” he says.

“We heard about the big increase in demand facing organisations currently distributing food and know it is likely the number of people seeking food parcels will only increase.”

Tony says they have been in a privileged position as an essential business during Alert Levels 3 and 4.

“Our branches wanted to give back

to our community now.”

The largest contribution to foodbanks made by NBS was to the Nelson Community Foodbank Trust, which supports families in Nelson and Richmond.

Trustee Megan Familton says NBS’ contribution would assist to meet increased demand.

“Cash is really what we need at the moment, as it helps us tailor food parcels for the families receiving them.”

She says this is a very timely donation.

NBS has also been providing support in the wider region, including in Takaka, and with contributions made to the Salvation Army in Motueka and Greymouth, as well as assisting ‘Kai with Love’ to support the Murchison area with food parcels.

Tony says NBS plans to continue its long-standing support of the not-for-profit sector, which will be even more important this year as we recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Kids coming back, gardens ready anxious about their return, and we wanted to provide something special to welcome them back,” she says.

As it turns out, the garden was a hit with the kids, and it’s developed into a good activity for the students to work on each day.

“The children have been exploring the fairy garden further and discovered something different each time.

Our Tamariki have been adding their own creations to the fairy garden, too.

They’ve made picnic rugs, tables and rainbows for the fairies, using scissors, pens and paper.

Children returning to Waimea Kindergarten had a special surprise waiting for them when they returned under Alert Level 3, thanks to the hard work of their teachers.

The teachers created a ‘fairy garden’ in the front entrance of the kindergarten as a way of welcoming back the students, so it was the first thing the kids saw when they arrived back after a long five week break.

Head teacher Rebekah Senior said that the idea was a way to welcome the students back in a comforting way.

“We recognise that after five weeks at home, the children might’ve been feeling a little

their health and well-being at this level. Our strong relationships with our tamariki and whānau have supported their smooth transitions back in to kindergarten.”

New Zealand Kindergartens CEO, Jill Bond, says right around the country children are loving being back at their kindergartens.

“This is what the kindergarten movement is all about, a partnership between us and our communities and supporting and helping each other.”

“Kindergartens are wonderful places to support parents and care-givers right now, especially when times are tough.”

the children, and it’s so lovely to be back at kindergarten with them. The tamariki are also very happy to be back and to see each other again.”

Nelson Tasman Kindergarten Association CEO, Craig Vercoe, says that it’s been fantastic to be able to support whānau as they returned to work in Alert Level 3.

“We have provided a fun, safe and familiar environment for our tamariki to play and learn, with and alongside their friends. We were able to design and plan our curriculum which enabled us to follow the tamariki’s interests while protecting and nurturing

Hello, I am a teacher at Broadgreen Intermediate and during lockdown I have sent my students links to your newspaper articles as part of their home learning. You have provided fantastic stories about things happening in our community while we have all been isolated.

When we get back to school I would like my students to contact some of the businesses, and people you have interviewed, to thank them for the work they have done during this tough time.

I am wondering if you have any spare copies of your paper left from Wednesday 6th of May. I am very conscious of getting my kids off screens when they come back to school and it would be awesome if they had a paper each, or one between two to work on next week.

I have 32 kids in my class. Perhaps it might be possible to get some from last week and some of this week’s paper? I understand if this is not possible but just thought I would ask!!

Thanks for all your hard work, perhaps you could do a story about my kids reading the paper as a way of connecting to their community!!

I look forward to hearing from you, Shaz Murray Hi, I want to acknowledge the headline ‘low chance of catching covid locally’.

This is EXACTLY the message the community needs to hear. It is reassuring and more importantly it is accurate.

This pandemic has rightly been taken very seriously by the health community and the government, acting fast and hard. The mainstream media however have created fear and panic that was neither helpful nor warranted and certainly not evidence based. I’m sure closing over level 4 impacted your business but you have not allowed that to influence your integrity and commitment to the truth.

Your reporting in this instance is a breath of fresh air...so again, thank you!

I have never sent any feedback to a media outlet before, but this I think needed acknowledgement.

Thanks, Simone

Please, have a think, read the sign A mess left by locals outside the Salvation army in Richmond is causing headaches for local business owners.

The pile of junk, which includes old car batteries and broken printers, has been left by the public. Steve Collier, of Collier Cars, says that the mess is ‘shocking.’

“When its windy we’ve had boxes, clothing toys, everything you can think of blown over into the car yard.” Steve says that while the bulk of the mess is caused by members of the public leaving boxes of unwanted junk outside the store, despite the signs that say otherwise, people looking for a freebie

“Whats causing most of it – members of the public are going through the boxes, and taking it away and leaving everything else scattered

around.”

Pools, Spas, and Essentials, says that they’ve been tidying it up as best they can.

The landlord of the building has made several inquir-

ies to Salvation Army NZ’s head office, but so far has received no response.

Salvation Army stores manger Gareth Marshall said that staff have been unable to go into stores during level 3 and 4.

“The Salvation Army has no control over the actions of people who leave goods outside our closed buildings.

“We will endeavour to clean up any goods outside our stores by the end of this week, as we are able to reopen our Family Stores.

“People should not leave anything outside our Family Stores out of opening hours.”

Good news for sports clubs Peter Jones

Waimea Weekly Locally Owned and Operated

Nelson Weekly Locally Owned and Operated

Financial help is on its way for sporting clubs and regional organisations battling to stay afloat in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sport NZ has created a $25 million package to provide further short-term relief for organisations at all levels of sport and active recreation.

The funds have been made available through savings achieved from the reprior-

itisation of Sport NZ’s work programme in the wake of COVID-19, as well as the drawing down on cash reserves. This relief will be provided via a $15m Community Resilience Fund, which opens on Monday, May 11. “Clubs and regional organisations are the heartbeat of our sector but have been among the hardest hit

by COVID-19, particularly through the loss of Class 4 gaming revenue and mem-

bership fees and they need support now more than ever,” he said. The Sport NZ Community Resilience Fund will be administered through New Zealand’s 14 regional sports trusts. Eligible organisations can apply for a maximum of $1000 for clubs and $40,000 for regional bodies. Also included in the package are: a partner support fund ($6 million) to help Sport NZ and HPSNZ investment part-

ners maintain critical roles and business functions; an exceptional system support fund ($1 million) to protect key national organisations who are not normal recipients of Sport NZ investment and a physical activity fund ($3 million) to promote play, active recreation and sport opportunities to those who need it most. Further details on these three funds will be announced over the coming weeks.

A message from Mayor Tim King Play it safe, Tasman!

As we move into Level Two, we have the chance to do many of the things we’ve missed over the last seven weeks. I know we’re all excited about that, it’ll start to feel like we’re getting back to normal. But it’s a new normal and everyone still has to play a part in keeping our community safe. Keep your distance, keep up good hygiene practices and above all – stay home if you feel even slightly sick.

We have more freedom at Level Two with most people able to work and students returning to school but please remember, we’re playing a long game here and we need to play it safely.

Apply now for a Community Grant Do you have an exciting community project in the pipeline? A Community Grant could help to make it happen. Applications for our Tasman District Council Community Grants are now open until 31 July 2020.

Funding is available for Tasman-based projects that meet a community need and have community support. Grants are available for projects that fit into the following categories: • Community and economic development initiatives • Arts/culture/heritage/museums • Festivals and events • Youth and children • Social services • Environment • Emergency services • Sports and recreation facilities.

To apply and get more information, visit tasman.govt.nz/link/grants.

Council Services at Alert Level Two

Celebrating our community heroes

Some aspects of how we can safely deliver Council services at Alert Level Two were still being discussed at the time of printing. For more information, visit our website, tasman.govt.nz, our Facebook page or give us a call on 03 548 3400.

If you know of someone who you think deserves recognition for all their hard work, you can nominate them for an Outstanding Community Service Award. Tasman District Council wants you help to identify and celebrate the wonderful people throughout our District by making nominations for this annual award ceremony. There are a huge number of volunteers who work tirelessly to make our communities better places to live, says Mayor Tim King.

• Council offices will reopen from Thursday 14 May but please be aware we will be operating differently in order to meet the Level Two requirements around physical distancing and contact tracing. Please be patient as your visit may take longer than usual. If you are able to carry out your business with us over the phone or online, please continue to do so.

• We are working towards reopening our libraries from Monday 18 May but it won’t be business as usual.

Several changes will be in place ensure we’re in line with Level Two restrictions and not all services may be available from the start. Planning for reopening was ongoing at the time of printing so please check the Tasman District Libraries website or Facebook page for more information or give the team a call.

• Playgrounds and exercise equipment will be open for use in Level Two. We’ve been doing safety checks on all equipment after seven weeks without regular maintenance. We’ll be reopening the taped off play equipment from Thursday 14 May. If any equipment is still taped off after Thursday it probably means we’ve found a safety issue that needs to be fixed, so please do not remove the tape and keep off the equipment.

• Kerbside recycling and rubbish collection services continue as they have throughout the COVID-19 restrictions. The plant that sorts the mixed recycling (paper, cardboard, plastics and cans) will be operating again. All recycling collected from Monday 18 May will be sorted and processed as before. It will no longer be sent to landfill from next week. Please ensure only clean recycling is in your bin. We will be checking the bins and any that are contaminated with rubbish will not be collected. Glass continues to be sent to Auckland for recycling as usual.

• Normal opening hours resume at all Resource Recovery Centres and the full range of services will be available from Saturday 16 May. This includes waste, greenwaste, recycling drop-off, reuse shop activity, whiteware and hazardous goods. We’ll be requesting contact details for all our customers and limiting numbers to maintain safe distancing. There may be delays at times, so please be patient. Payment by EFT POS is still preferred.

• The Aquatic Centre and our recreation centres will be able to reopen but numbers will be managed.

You will still need to maintain physical distancing at all times and contact tracing measures will be in place.

Social gatherings of more than 10 people will not be permitted in our centres.

• Boat ramps are open for use.

Streets for people survey The COVID-19 lockdown has shown that lower levels of air pollution, more people using active transport, greater social cohesion and less people dying on our roads are all achievable goals.

Bateup Road asphalt sealing Work has restarted to complete the asphalt sealing on Bateup Road. The road surface will be prepared first before the asphalt is laid, followed by line marking. Weather permitting, the work should be complete by the end of May. There will be some disruption to traffic, so please follow the signs and instructions of the traffic management teams. Thanks for your patience while we complete this work as quickly and safely as possible.

The lockdown has also challenged the idea that streets are designed for vehicles. Streets have been transformed into hubs of interaction, recreation, art and play. As we have walked, ridden and accessed spaces normally reserved for cars, should we now review how we plan these areas in future?

Please visit tasman.govt.nz and search on “streets for people” and complete a short survey to tell us how the lockdown has changed your perception of streets and how you want them to look when the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Feedback is invited until 31 May 2020.

“Even with all the challenges we’ve faced over the past months due to the effect of COVID-19, the strength of community spirit has really shone through. The people who are always ready to help when needed, are the ones we want to celebrate.”

Tasman District Council’s Outstanding Community Service Awards recognise the unsung heroes who add so much to our communities. The awards are aimed at acknowledging those who have volunteered for 20 years or more. It’s a way to make sure they are rewarded with the thanks they deserve for their long-term commitment, generosity, dedication and outstanding service. Nominees must be residents of the Tasman District to qualify. More information and nomination forms are available on the Council website, tasman.govt.nz and search “community awards.” You can email your completed nomination form to gabrielle.drummond@tasman.govt.nz.

Nominations must be received by 30 June 2020.

Moutere Highway detour – Mission Bridge Replacement Work to replace Mission Bridge (near Davey Road, Upper Moutere) is now underway and will continue until July.

The project was due to start in March but was delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Moutere Highway will be closed at the bridge and a detour is in place via either Gardner Valley Road or Harley Road to the Coastal Highway. For more details, including the detour map, visit tasman.govt.nz, search phrase: ‘Mission Bridge’.

Kingsland Forest track closures Forestry harvesting starts from next Monday 18 May in the Kingsland Forest area in Richmond. Walking and biking tracks will need to be closed to keep everyone safe while this work is carried out. The harvesting will be done in three phases and will take around four months to complete in total, with some overlap between phases.

Phase One: All walking and biking tracks are closed above the Big Skid, Grassy Saddle and Upper Jimmy Lee Creek. Duration approximately two and a half months.

Phase Two: All walking and biking tracks will be closed above Cell Phone Tower, Grassy Saddle and Valhalla Water Tanks. Duration approximately two months (overlapping with Phase Two and Three).

Phase Three: All walking and biking tracks will be closed in the Reservoir Creek catchment and above Cell Phone Tower. Duration approximately one month.

Visit our website, tasman.govt.nz for a map showing the closure locations and a copy of the harvest report. Please look out for the signage in place and stay out of the closed areas at all times. Thanks for your patience while we carry out this work as quickly and safely as possible.
