Tasman District Council has demanded clarity from WorkSafe over the legality of markets in the region that are “flouting” vaccination and mask mandates. A collective of market stall runners titled the ‘Nelson Free Marketeers’ operate every Sunday

at the A&P Showgrounds Richmond where vaccination passports aren’t required from stallholders. This market, along with an occasional rural market in Riwaka, was raised and questioned in last Thursday’s Regulatory Committee by the committee chair, councillor Dana Wensley. “I have some concerns with the

way we have shown leadership around Covid as a council,” she said. Wensley believes the markets are “building a brand” on “flouting the rules”. Under red light setting, outdoor farmers markets and occasional markets with only retail stalls may open with capacity limits, with face masks worn by staff and

customers. Videos posted to the Free Marketeer’s Facebook page show a large number of unmasked visitors and stallholders. Wensley accused the market of not adhering to red level precautions by hosting sit down areas to sit and eat. In red level advice from the Ministry of Business, Innovation

and Employment, if food is to be consumed on-site under the control of the business (including outdoor areas), then the business must follow food and drink service regulations. This means at all levels, food and drink providers would have to be vaccinated unless they work is solely for

Fruitful start to apple harvest The apple harvest is underway across the Waimea plains and the wider Tasman district. Hundreds of pickers started last week and growers say the influx of Recognised Seasonal Employer workers should see them be able to pick enough fruit for the season to be a success, says Matthew Hoddy, business manager of Vailima Orchards in Hope. The harvest will run through until late April.

“I love the rain as it means the beaches don’t have people on them and the sand doesn’t even have footprints on it. Perfect.”

“It was actually a great test for the new drainage system which has been put in at my house. Good timing.”

“No! I managed to move out of my parents’ house into my own place and hopefully start a new job this week.”

“It’s been good for the garden – except for my tomatoes which all split.”

Councillor fed up with ‘freedom’ markets from PAGE 1 takeaway food and drink. Council staff member Dennis Bush King said it was not the task of Tasman District Council staff to enforce rules around eating. TDC chief executive Janine Dowding said she believed WorkSafe were responsible for managing compliance. In a statement, Nelson MP Rachel Boyack said she has been contacted by a number of people who are concerned with the Richmond showgrounds market and that she has passed those concerns onto WorkSafe. “WorkSafe have assured me that

they are investigating the concerns and reports raised with them, and that they take them seriously.” WorkSafe is unable to say at this stage how many complaints they had received to do with the Richmond market. A WorkSafe spokesperson says the agency had visited the Nelson Free Marketeers market, where inspectors identified areas of “non-compliance” and are considering their follow up actions. Regulations chair Dana Wensley said a letter was sent on behalf of the committee to WorkSafe last Friday in the interest of further “clarity and consistency”.

“The essence of the letter was that council is pursuing regulatory responses to the freedom markets at Riwaka, and we are requesting that WorkSafe pursue what we consider to be ‘flagrant breaches’ of Covid workplace regulations in relation to the markets held at the Richmond A&P show grounds.” Nelson Free Marketeers manager Penny Cameron refused to comment on the markets to the Waimea Weekly stating they had seen “nothing but lies from the media”.

The jetty at Lake rotoiti at Nelson Lakes National Park is one of the most photographed in the country, but not many people have seen it looking like this. When kite surfing instructor Warren mitchell went on a walk while visiting friends during the recent wet weather, he was surprised to see the jetty was almost completely submerged. “I’ve never seen it like that before,” he says. “I know we’ve had heavy rain for a while, but it didn’t seem that bad. I guess it must have been worse at the head of the lake for the water levels to rise to this extent.” Warren, who runs Kitescool in Nelson, says the deluge didn’t put him off a weekend visit as the lake is a beautiful place to visit whatever the weather.

Murchison needs more nurses Jenny nicholson Murchison is on the hunt for “competent, confident and flexible” nurses to bolster its shortage of healthcare staff helping the Tasman township. Murchison Community Hospital and Health Centre charge nurse/manager, Christine Horner, is part of the existing team that needs increased support. She attends any serious call outs during the day and is part of the rostered team on call after hours. As with all nurses working in Murchison, she has varied days. The medical facility has a GP’s clinic, longterm care facility and two emergency beds. She says nurses in the township operate as practice nurses and district nurses as well as overseeing the rest home during the day and responding to emergencies. They are also part of the 24/7 roster to cover elderly care. A shortage of health professionals has always been a problem for Murchison and there is currently a shortage of nurses. “It’s a multi-role,” Christine says. “The emergency afterhours aspect does tend to attract a certain type of nurse. They need to be both competent and confident, but to have

There is always the chance we won’t have someone going with us.” Christine says they are careful to debrief after callouts. Knowing the locals adds another layer to after-hours emergency care. However, many calls are people passing through. The very recent river callout was a tourist swimming at a

local water hole. Christine says that event ended up being a community resuscitation. “It’s about where we live,” she says. “It was river rafting people who are well-trained and a mountain rescue person going for a swim. They were very qualified and saved him before we got there.” She says, as you get more rural there are more things nurses and doctors must do. “It’s about real clinical stuff,” she says. “People are less likely to come for coughs and colds, people are more resilient here and tend to come when they are actually sick.” Christine is hoping to hear from nurses who have the special skills needed to join their team.

Honouring our animal war heroes Jonty Dine Just like so many New Zealanders did so when called upon, countless numbers of animals have also served their country in times of war. Unlike the men and women, however, the majority of these animals did not return home. During World War 1, 16 million animals, including horses, pigeons, cats and dogs were deployed with eight million perishing in the conflict. Compounding the tragedy, a number of soldiers were also forced to make the decision to put their animals down once the war was over. To honour those brave animals, Purple Poppy Day has been created to give them the recognition they deserve. The day gained traction in New Zealand in 2018 when a plaque was unveiled to remember service animals at the army museum. Nelson will unveil its own plaque on Purple Poppy Day 2023 to honour the region’s animals who have served, are serving and will continue to serve.

it,” he says. From cats being used to deal with rat infestations in the trenches, to camels carrying ammunition and dogs bringing aid to the injured, ani-

mals served a variety of purposes during times of war. Brian says that even in modern warfare, the humble donkey is still used. “You might have the latest high-tech vehicle to take out the enemy but to get up and close in some of those areas, the donkey is the most useful.” Brian says we also can’t forget the police dogs on our frontlines every day. “They still serve the community and country.” During WW1, the New Zealand government acquired more than 10,000 horses. Of all the horses that survived, only four returned home. “One can only imagine the grief the men must have felt when their faithful steeds were put down, rather than leaving them in Egypt to an uncertain future,” says Ian Barker, son of trooper Percival Barker. Ian says it is imperative that we remember the contributions made by animals during war time. Purple Poppy Day, February 24

Marchfest cancelled The Nelson craft beer festival has been cancelled for first time in 15 years due to red traffic light restrictions. Advanced ticket sales had already exceeded last year’s, and it had looked on track to be the biggest festival yet. The event will now run 4 March 2023 and all tickets have been automatically transferred.

Vaccine boost for the region Nelson Marlborough has become the first region to pass 50 per cent in the race to get the adult population boosted against Covid-19. Last week, 52 per cent of people aged 18 and over have had their booster shot. Of those eligible, 67 per cent had their booster shot, with a further 30,069 people eligible.

Sunshine and rain NIWA statistics placed the wider Nelson region at fourth for sunshine hours for the month of January - the 13th warmest of record. Taranaki, Hawkes Bay and Marlborough all kickstarted the race for sunniest region ahead of Nelson Tasman. Nelson region had 337 sunshine hours.

Takepart part a study assessing an investigational vaccine Take in in a study assessing an investigational studystudy vaccine to prevent respiratory virussyncytial (RSV) disease to preventsyncytial respiratory virus (RSV) disease Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a common cold-like virus that affects the airways of the lungs. Most people with RSV have only mild, cold-like symptoms. However, older adults can sometimes have serious complications, including inflammation of the lungs or pneumonia. Currently, there is no approved vaccine for RSV. We are looking for people to take part in a clinical research study to help us find a way to prevent RSV disease. The main goal of the EVERGREEN Study is to see if an investigational study vaccine can prevent RSV disease caused by RSV in older adults. The study will also collect information about the safety of the study vaccine. By supporting research and joining the EVERGREEN Study, people may learn more about respiratory infections. Are you able to help? You may be able to take part in the EVERGREEN Study if you: • are 60 years of age or older • can do your usual daily activities even with some interference from any health conditions • are able to use smartphones, tablets, and/or computers.

If you are interested, additional eligibility criteria, including your health conditions, will be assessed by the study doctor or staff. The study will last for about 1 year and 7 months. You will have at least 4 scheduled visits to the study centre and 2 phone calls. Your health will be monitored carefully by a team of doctors and nurses throughout the study. Qualified participants may receive the study vaccine and some study-related medical care at no cost. The study will not pay for other medical care or current medication(s) needed to support your daily healthcare routine. Please contact the study team today if you are interested in joining the EVERGREEN Study or would like more information. By contacting us, you are under no obligation to take part in the study. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Vouchers back to boost business Jo Kent A voucher scheme which sees customers get $10 back for every $100 spent in Richmond’s CBD launches this week. Event co-ordinator for Richmond Unlimited, Sheena Murtagh, says the timing of the giveaway couldn’t be better in terms of helping both customers and local businesses who are feeling the pinch. “We’ve run the scheme before and now the pandemic has hit, it feels like the right time to run it again.” Anyone who spends $100 between now and Monday, 7 March or over in a single transaction at any outlet in Richmond, excluding supermarkets, will quality for a free $10 voucher which can then be redeemed within the same area. “People have until Tuesday, 15 March to claim and redeem their vouchers and can use them against any purchase in the central business zone of Richmond,” Sheena says. “You can use it in restaurants or cafes, or against a purchase in one of the many retail outlets. We hope that it gives people a little boost and gets customers through the doors of local businesses.”

A public toilet in Wakefield has sparked panic and confusion among locals after a technical fault with the automated locking system left people trapped inside. One elderly man with dementia was stuck in the toilet for nearly 10 minutes on one of the hottest days of the year. His daughter, who wishes to remain anonymous, says she was worried he might have suffered from the heat if he’d been trapped for much longer. “He managed to exit when the door suddenly opened after a prolonged time, but the incident has left him shaken,” she says. Local mum, Jaimee Palmer, says

she got stuck in the toilet with her young son recently, too. “When we pressed the button to leave, the door just wouldn’t open. In the end I had to force our way out but that took quite a bit of effort.” TDC communications manager, Chris Choat, says they are aware that some people have had issues with the locks on this toilet and as such have addressed the matter. “We are going to replace the automated locking system with a manual door option to avoid future problems and to ensure the toilet can remain open to the public.” The new door will have a manual lock which is operated from inside the toilet as well as being accessible from the outside in case of emer-

RDA grant helps locals keep riding Jenny nicholson Jack Roberts was riding before he could walk. Riding for the Disabled (RDA) has made an enormous difference to Jack’s life. He started riding while still very young and, after a short break, has got back to it again. Now 19, Jack happily supports RDA by sponsoring two of their horses. He rides once a week, and even wet weather doesn’t stop him spending time with the horses. Jack is just one of many people whose lives are enhanced by weekly time with RDA. Richmond Group RDA has recently received a grant of $15,000 from the New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) to go toward annual salaries for an assistant coach/horse coordinator, a farm manager and head coach. “We require funding towards the cost of our staff ’s wages so that we are able to continue to provide our much-needed service to those in our local community,” RDA president Robyn Hurford says. She says the organisation does not receive any government funding, and the NZCT grant will enable them to continue to serve the

Therapeutic horse riding is a therapy that develops, improves and promotes many aspects of life, including balance and coordination, muscle tone and con-

centration. Jack was born with a syndrome that meant he has low muscle tone. At eight, he hadn’t learned to walk and his parents were told he probably never would. But at nine he took his first steps. “Never say never,” Jack’s mother Sue Roberts says. “Horses have

that movement that help the child to use those muscles in their body that help with walking.” Sue says riding probably helped Jack to walk, and she can not speak highly enough of the staff and horses at RDA. “The horses are big and a long way off the ground,” she says.

“The kids feel safe and confident on these majestic animals because they just keep on plodding even when the children squeal.” Sue says it is all down to the care and training at RDA. “They cover all the bases,” she says. “The riders always have side walkers to ensure their safety.”

Sewing unmasks true talent Jo Kent When 13-year-old Seth DelportKing turned his hand to mask making back in November, he had no idea just how big his business idea would get. “I wanted to earn a bit of cash doing something I enjoyed and am good at,” the Richmond teenager says. “I thought that I’d just be making them for friends and family, but I’ve now sold over 200 and have had orders as far as Palmerston North through Facebook Marketplace.” Seth’s aunty, Jess Quinney, taught him how to sew when he was just six-years-old. “She taught me how to use a sewing machine, so it’s always been a big part of my life.” In fact, Seth uses his late grandmother’s sewing machine to make all his masks and his mum Tenielle says sewing is in his blood. “I love that Seth is using mum’s sewing machine as it keeps the connection alive,” she says. Throughout the school holidays, Seth spent every day making face masks for multiple orders which come in daily. “Mum goes through the orders

each day, then we cut the fabric out ready for me to make them the day after.” He starts by ironing the cut-out fabric, sews them, puts the elastic on, then packages them up ready for collection or postage. “We’ve got a really good system in place now as it was getting overwhelming at the start.” He makes about 10 masks a day, mainly to order, and often people buy in bulk so the orders can get quite large. “I had a teacher order 20 masks for her whole class last week as pupils from Year 4 need to wear them in school during red alert,” Seth says. He sells the masks for $5 each and is currently making matching scrunchies for an additional $3, too. “I started at Waimea College this year, so I’ll be working in the evenings and weekends to make sure I can keep up with demand. I enjoy doing it and the extra money is the best thing.” He says he makes about $300 a week and is a keen saver. “I’m not sure what I’ll use the money for yet, but I’m too busy to spend it for now, anyway.” To order from Seth, search cover_ it_21 on Facebook or Instagram.

Meet Waimea College’s teenage firefighter Max Frethey From the outside, 17-year-old Alex Riley might look like your ordinary Waimea College Year 13 student – he loves sports and motorbikes but now he is also a qualified volunteer firefighter. “Ever since a young age, I guess I’ve been pretty active,” Alex says. “Played a lot of hockey, basketball… I did about four years in cadets, really loved my time there.” Alex has also got into gliding and powered flying, as well as mountainbiking and track racing. But when he turned 16, Alex says it was time for a new challenge. He wanted to do something different to step up and challenge himself, while also giving back to the community and making a difference. When he learned that you could volunteer to be a firefighter at 16, Alex thought ‘why not?’. He signed up straight away. He trained for about nine months, with a Covid delay part way through, to become qualified. “It’s a lot of physical activity, working with the gear that we’ve got, working as a team.” Now that he’s qualified, Alex says the main difference is when he’s on the trucks. “I’m not just the extra person… [I’m] one of the members of the crew that’s fulfilling an opera-

your back.” Richmond Fire Brigade chief fire officer Craig Piner has nothing but praise for Alex. “[He’s] really good, really enthusiastic, a real keen member of the brigade ... We’re a bit of a big family, so it’s been really good having

him as a part of it ... We’re really rapt to have him in the brigade.” For the future, Alex says that when he turns 18 he plans to apply to become a career firefighter. However, from a young age he’s been set on joining the Air Force. “That’s definitely still on the hori-

zon. I’m doing all my classes this year - really smashing them out so I can get the grades for the Air Force for a pilot.” It appears that not even the sky is the limit for Alex, but until he gets there, he’s helping to keep Richmond safe.

Proudly brought to you by...

Legacy of John Barnicoat as strong as an oak Robyn PaRkes John Wallis Barnicoat was born in Falmouth, on the south coast of Cornwall, England, on June 3, 1814. After leaving school he was selected to learn civil engineering and surveying. At the end of his study Barnicoat practised for a time on his own account, but later was employed by a leading railway engineer in London. Some years later he was working as a surveyor in Cornwall, but being attracted by the prospect of emigrating to New Zealand, he left England on the the Lord Auckland, and landed at Nelson in February, 1842. Barnicoat was at once engaged by the New Zealand Company and was employed with his partner, Mr T. J. Thompson, in cutting up suburban and rural lands in Waimea East, Moutere, and

Wairau. He was among those who escaped from the Wairau Affray and became a prominent figure in society. In 1844, having made up his mind to occupy Section 168, in the swamp area of Lower Queen Street, Richmond, he purchased Mr Thompson’s half of the property for 30 pounds. He named it, “Ashfield”, where he remained for 50 years. He then converted 140 acres of rush-covered swamp into one of the best kept farms in the district. Barnicoat realised that, on the bleak wind-swept plains, shelter for stock was necessary. So, he planted the numerous hawthorn hedges which became a feature of “Ashfield.” The hedges were so successful that other farmers followed his example and purchased from him the haws and berries from which seedlings were raised. Barnicoat was a lover of trees, and

John Barnicoat’s home ‘Ashfield’, which he built on Lower Queen St. Photo: Supplied. he brought acorns from England which were later planted, forming the nucleus of the oak plantation. Ash trees were also raised, hence the name of the property “Ashfield”. Owing to the scarcity of mate-

rials, Barnicoat’s residence was built by degrees, and all the timber had to be pit sawn. For the current time it was thought to be a grand structure. Barnicoat always maintained a beautiful garden, a feature of

which was a wisteria planted by himself in front of the house and was trained along the verandah. By 1934, the trunk of the wisteria measured about 30 inches. As he grew older, and with his wife having died earlier in 1902, he sold his property in 1903. The Ashfield property was then subdivided into three lots. One lot was purchased by Mr Hammond and one by Mr Haycock. The old house, over the years, was painted and photographed on numerous occasions. The house ceased to exist in its original state after being remodelled in 1934 by the then owner. In September of 1942, an oak seedling that had come from one of the old oaks on the Barnicoat homestead was raised and planted in Jubilee Park as a memorial to John Barnicoat and done so in accordance with the wishes of the family and descendants.

Four generations of Watson’s For over 60 years the Watson’s family have been providing the Richmond community with fresh food, a great range and exceptional service. As you can well imagine, grocery shopping in the 1950s would have looked very different. However, one thing remains the same and that’s FreshChoice Richmond’s commitment to providing their customers with the best in fresh, local produce and quality grocery items at great prices. “Back in Grandad’s day, over 60 years ago, everything used to be bought in bulk and they’d have to weigh it all out and bag it up for customers. Deliveries were also done by bike, in fact,

we’ve still got Grandad’s delivery bike on display in the store,” says Gary. Most of Richmond grew up with the Watson family and everyone who knows them knows how much the Richmond community and supporting local means to them. From Richmond Super Discount (then the store out at Wakefield), and now FreshChoice Richmond, a lot has changed but never the principles, or the family name. FreshChoice Richmond might just be a supermarket to some, but to Gary, Lisa, and their children, Georgia and Samantha, the amazing staff, and to the Richmond community, it’s a family.

Prices valid 14th -20th February 2022, or while stocks last at FreshChoice Richmond only.

It’s time to let the sun in To celebrate the opening of its solar hub in Nelson, Lightforce is gifting a $30,000 solar system and battery to an organisation that does great things in our community. Lightforce is committed to partnering with organisations that align with its goals so, as part of its Solar for Good programme, it’s asking people in the Nelson Tasman and Marlborough regions to nominate a deserving charity or notfor-profit that could do more good work with the money it will save on electricity. Reducing environmental impact has long been a major selling point of solar and that is becoming even more appealing as we shift away from fossil fuels and towards lower-carbon energy sources. Owning your own power is also becoming more appealing given residential power prices have gone up by 48% since 2000, far in excess of the rate of inflation. The price of solar panels has come down dramatically in recent years, too, so going solar also makes financial sense, especially in a sun-soaked region like the Top of the South. CEO Luke Nutting says a lot of Lightforce customers are not paying anything for their power and are often getting credits

from their power companies because they sell excess energy back to the grid. Lightforce is the country’s fastestgrowing solar installer and has delivered world-class solar solutions to over 6,000 residential, commercial and agricultural customers around the country. Around 80% of the systems Lightforce now installs include batteries, which means solar energy can be used when we need it most - peak usage times in the morning and at night. And, in what Nutting sees as a big endorsement of the company and its vision, it recently signed an exclusive distribution deal with global battery powerhouse Energizer Homepower.

Nominate a deserving organisation for the Solar for Good giveaway by visiting lightforce.co.nz. Entries close on Thursday 3rd March.

Tips on writing the perfect resume 1. Keep it short Your current CV may include information about every job or course you’ve ever done but, in New Zealand, CVs are usually only two to three pages long. Employers mainly want to know if you can do the job. Your CV should include: • your contact details • work experience that is relevant to the job you want • your skills that are relevant to the job

2. Give examples of your skills When writing about your skills, don’t just list them – make sure that you give examples of how you’ve used each skill. Identify what you did, the setting in which the activity was carried out, and what happened as a result. 3. Make sure your CV is up to date If you want an employer to contact you, you need to keep your CV up to date with your latest address and telephone number. • Include the phone number that you are most easily contacted on, whether it’s a landline or cellphone number. • Check that you have a suitable answerphone message. • Include an email address on your CV. If you don’t have an email address, set one up. 4. Include referee contact details Most New Zealand employers will ask for two referees who they can contact to ask about your work. Make sure that the contact details for your referees are current, and check this by contacting them yourself. Tell them about your plans and ask them to read your CV – you may get some good advice from them. Some New Zealand employers prefer you to

have New Zealand work experience. If you are having trouble finding work, consider taking an entry-level job or doing voluntary work. This can also be a source of referees. 5. Put yourself in the employer’s place Once you’ve written your CV it’s important to ask yourself these three key questions: • When an employer scans my CV, will they think “This CV looks interesting”? Employers have to sort and reduce a pile of CVs to shortlists of two or three people. They will respond better to a clear, well laid-out CV than a long, disorganised one. • When an employer reads my CV fully, will they think “This person has skills we need”? Employers are looking for someone who matches the job description. Adjust and target your CV to highlight things that fit the job you are applying for. • When an employer is shortlisting CVs will they think “This person is worth meeting”? Employers are thinking about what you can offer them. Give people a sense of who you are and what you do best. 6. Get it checked It is important to get someone else to check your CV to see that it makes sense, is well formatted and has no spelling or grammatical mistakes. 7. Write a cover letter When you send your CV to an employer, make sure you include a cover letter. Your cover letter should: • explain why you want the job • explain what you can offer the employer • highlight skills, qualifications and experience that you have that match the job.

4 steps to planning your job search 1. Reflect Take a moment to stop and reflect upon your career. Consider where you are in your career and, crucially, what role you ultimately aspire to. Once you define your ultimate career goal, you can identify the promotions and skills required to get there. Ask yourself such questions as: • Where do I see myself in ten years’ time? • What job/s will help me bridge the gap to reach my goal? • What have I achieved in my career to date that I’m proud of? • Is my ultimate career goal still the same as it was last time I looked for a job? If not, what’s changed? • What are my strengths and weaknesses? • What skill gaps do I need to overcome to reach my goal? 2. Define your next move Once you have identified your career goal and the steps required to get there, you need to define your immediate next career move. It’s important to look beyond the duties and experience you need to acquire and consider the bigger picture, such as the culture in which you thrive and the benefits you want. Ask yourself such questions as: • What role represents the next sensible step towards my longterm career goal? • What skills do I need to develop in my next role? • Do I want a job offering room for progression? • Are learning and development opportunities important?

• What kind of culture brings out the best in me? • What kind of work environment brings out the best in me? • What salary and benefits am I realistically looking for? Download our Job Search Planner to take control of your job search. Our planner guides you through these stages to focus your job search and lead you to success. 3. Get to work Once you know what your immediate next job should be, it’s time to update your CV and LinkedIn profile. This includes creating an eyecatching professional summary that positions you as a suitable candidate for the job. It should focus on what you can offer an employer, not what you want out of your next job. Ultimately, both your CV and LinkedIn profile should contain enough evidence to demonstrate the relevancy of your previous experience and successes so that a hiring manager or recruiter cannot overlook you. 4. Plan your week It’s important to break your job search down into small actionable tasks. Otherwise, you may feel overwhelmed and give up before you even start. You can do this by identifying weekly goals and then breaking them down into daily tasks so that you keep your job search on track. Examples of such manageable tasks include: • Identify at least five prospective

employers; • Find and apply to at least one job opening; • Schedule a meeting with a recruiting expert; • Share with your recruiter what you want in your next job; • Network with existing connections and build your online connections; • Sharpen your interviewing skills – both for inperson and video interviews Once you’ve created your plan, stick to it! Refer to it regularly, update your weekly planner each Monday and allocate some time every day to spend on your job search.

PLAY F Another season of region’s most popular team sport is about to kick off with hundreds of players preparing to lace up their boots for a busy year of football. After a ten-year wait, the Richmond division one men’s side finally broke its championship hoodoo in 2021, winning its final against a highly-favoured Rangers outfit in Blenheim. The club also took out the women’s division one, as the Foxes continue to set the benchmark for women's football in Nelson with its third title in a row. Rounding off the success, the Richmond Hornbills claimed men’s third division while the Bogans took out men's fifth division. The pandemic again wreaked

Will Fraser created a chair as part of his studies at the Centre for Fine Woodworking programme in 2020. Photo: Supplied.

New scholarship offered in fine wood working Jenny nicholson The Centre for Fine Woodworking is offering the inaugural Thorkild Hansen Scholarship worth more than $8000. This will cover one student’s fees, and some travel costs, for their 8-week intensive fine woodworking programme. School manager Helen Gerry says the scholarship was set up in dedication to Thorkild Hansen who Helen describes as “the backbone of the school and its world-class reputation”. “Sadly, Thorkild passed away late last year,” Helen says. “As a not-for-profit organisation, we felt this scholarship would be a great tribute to him and a wonderful opportunity for a young person in our region.” Helen says the school offers the very highest quality of tuition available in fine woodworking, preserving and passing on the time-honoured craft to future generations of craftspeople. Their current full-time tutor, Louise Fuller, will lead the eight-week intensive. Helen says Louise is a highlyskilled furniture maker who has made furniture for the Canadian Embassy. “Lou is a classy expert in her field,” says 2021 student Dave George.

“She is one of the most valuable resources the centre has.” Dave says the programme covered more ground than he expected, and he finished with a vastly improved understanding of the techniques and tools one can employ to achieve great results. During the course, participants will complete a couple of exercises before making a wall-hanging shelf and cabinet, and a chair. Kirsten McLaurin shifted to Nelson last year and attended the 8-week programme. As a result of the course she had a career change and is now a cabinet maker. With the course starting on 4 April 2022, Helen realises it is short notice. However, she says they are hoping to receive applicants who are under 25 years of age and live in the Top of the South. A cover letter from a teacher or employer stating the applicant shows promise and talent will also be required. A space is being held for the successful applicant, with the course otherwise full. Anyone interested can contact Helen Gerry, Trust Manager on cfwoodwork@gmail.com The deadline for applications is 1 March 2022.

and floor are completed; the second stage might be when the framing goes up; etc. Included in the building contract are the specifications of construction outlining all materials to be used during construction. It is crucial that these are carefully assessed, as once the contract is signed, these are the products and specifications which the builder will use to complete the build. Any changes to the specifications will likely result in an increase in cost to the buyer. Being thorough in the early stages of the purchase can allay budget issues during the build process. Communication between the building company, bank, lawyer and buyer is integral to ensure all requirements have been met. 5 tips to make the purchasing process less stressful: 1. Have finance pre-approved by the bank up to a maximum amount. 2. Obtain preapproval of Kiwisaver withdrawal eligibility. 3. Obtain preapproval of first home grant withdrawal eligibility (if applicable). 4. Complete necessary on boarding requirements with lawyers so there are no delays. 5. Use your lawyer. It is a confusing process, ask questions to put your mind at ease! Talk to us!

Focus on Wakefield

A new Space for Wakefield parents Jo Kent A new Space group is starting at Wakefield Playcentre on Thursday 3 March and is open to parents with babies up to 6 months old. Co-ordinator, Liz Chandler, says the group will meet weekly for 30 to 40 weeks over the first year of a baby’s life to discuss topics including sleep, feeding, attachment, physical and mental development and the challenges and joys of becoming a parent. “Discussion topics are all evidence-based and follow a curriculum developed by child development experts. Sessions also include music, reading and, as the babies grow, lots of learning through play.” Most importantly, the groups offer a way for parents to connect and build their support networks. “The first year of parenting

can lighten the load. Some of our parents continue to meet for years after the Space group has finished, forming lifelong friendships and supporting each other on their parenting journeys.”

Space runs in the Nelson region at Victory, Enner Glynn, Richmond, Wakefield and Motueka Playcentres. For more information see www.parentingplace. net or call Fiona Mildon on 027 808 6797.

Cycleway Tasman District Council’s draft Walking and Cycling Strategy is now open for consultation. The strategy aims to improve key issues in every town across Tasman District It focuses on safety, accessibility, liveability, climate change and traffic congestion. The strategy suggests changes to parking, alterations to speed limits, the installation of cycle lanes and paths, and the development of slow speed neighbourhoods.

Gray geared up for Mako season

Peter Jones Gray Cornelius has ascended to the region’s top coaching role in traditional fashion. Like many coaches who have risen through the ranks, Gray learned his trade during a lengthy stint as a first XV coach. A long-serving physical education teacher at Marlborough Boys’ College, Gray stepped in as head coach in 2009. From there he began to fashion a style of play and culture that saw his side, superbly led by future All Black Atu Moli, win the coveted Press Cup in 2013. He continued to mentor the college until 2018, then began his involvement with Tasman, as coach of the Tasman B side later that year. Gray has been a Mako assistant coach for the past three seasons, learning the ropes at provincial level, and is excited by the opportunity to continue the Mako success story. However, he admits he and co-

head coach Dan Perrin have a big job on their hands. “They are massive shoes to fill,” he says. “I am looking forward to the challenge … these are exciting times.” Gray has worked with Dan in the Mako set-up and with the Tasman under-20s, so knows how he operates. “What is important for Dan and I is to keep the things that have been successful for us and the Mako team, but also to add our own flavour,” he says. “The Mako coaching environment is a really collaborative setup … we have people with head roles, but there is a lot of talent and everybody pitches in.” With more Covid uncertainty surrounding the shape of the forthcoming season, Gray is well aware that a degree of flexibility may again be required. “That has been the case over the last few years. The biggest thing we have learned is that you can have all the structures in place,

gramme is the fitting-out of the Tasman Mako High Performance Gym, based at Lansdowne Park. Gray says, among the many advantages the new gym offered, was proximity to the region’s main rugby ground, plus an ability for users “to come and go as

they pleased”. He says the fact Tasman rugby now has a “concrete” presence in Marlborough is a major move forward. “When people walk in [to the gym] the first thing they see is the shark. “It is the first time we have had our own training facility in the history of the [Tasman] union and, on the practical side of things, it means we have no excuses anymore.” Gray played both club and representative rugby. He was born in Masterton, playing his first seasons of rugby for the famous Red Star club in that town, before turning out for Lincoln University when he headed south. Later, as an inside back with the Marlborough-based Harlequins and Awatere clubs, he was chosen to represent the Marlborough Red Devils from 1999 to 2005. The 47-year-old is married to Kylie and they have two children, 13-year-old Jed and 12-year-old Abbie.

High hopes for Harry’s tennis Jonty Dine After a frustrating couple of seasons spent mostly off the court, Harry Pugh is looking to make up for lost time in 2022. The 15-year-old is currently the top-ranked U16 player in the country, though his quest to be up there with the best in the world has been hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic. “We had tournaments cancelled all over the show,” the Garin College student says. When the world does open up again, Harry hopes to spend some time in Europe and be part of the prestigious junior grand slam. Harry is also waiting to find out if he has made the Davis Cup junior team to travel to Kuala Lumpur later this year. “I have just been playing New Zealand tournaments so just not quite as high-quality, it’s been pretty frustrating.” Despite the numerous disruptions, Harry has still managed to serve up some impressive performances in the past two seasons. Among them was winning an U17 Canterbury team event with long time doubles partner, Jack Chapman. The pair have been playing together for five years, winning notable events such as the Rod Laver Queensland championship and New Zealand U12 nationals.

“We were the underdogs, and we took out everyone.” Jack and Harry also share a healthy singles rivalry, with Harry claiming the most recent victory. “We have always been quite even.” Close on, and off the court, Harry says results never affect their friendship. While many tennis players tend to specialise in a certain surface, Harry says he would be equally comfortable on the Wimbledon grass as he would on the clay at Roland Garros. “I’m a lefty, so I’ve got a clay court game, but I am quite consistent.” Harry says his ‘top-spinny’ style can make him an awkward opponent. “A lot of people struggle when they play me because they don’t like my slice serve.” Harry was just three-years-old when he first picked up a racquet. “Mum was a coach, so I grew up around it. We had a court at home in Greymouth.” After the family moved to Nelson when Harry was 10, he linked up with coach John Gardiner whom he has been with for the past six years. He says he is at the Richmond Tennis Courts, “basically every day” to develop his game. Ranked 630 in the world for U18 players, Harry is eyeing up the top 400 in 2022. “I want to be top in the world.”

Connecting cultures through the beautiful game Jonty Dine

They come from incredibly diverse backgrounds but have one thing which unites them, a love for football. Next month will see players from all over the planet come together for a two-day tournament at Neale Park. Organiser Ahmed Osman, originally from Somalia, understands firsthand the power of sport for migrants. “Sports in general is so important in helping new people connect with others, make friends, adapt to a new culture and learn a language.” His Nelson FC side features players from almost every continent. “We have got so many diverse players, our coach is from Iran, we have Kiwis, South Africans, Columbians, Indians - that’s the beautiful thing.” He says the one thing that’s connecting them all is one round ball. “Every Tuesday and Thursday we are here for two hours, having a kick around, laughing and just having a good time, these guys make friends for life.” Ahmed says the aim of the tournament is to help resettle new refugees and migrants into the region. Organisers hope to create a festival-like atmosphere which showcases the plethora of different cul-

tures in Nelson. The tournament finals on the Sunday will coincide with the Multicultural Festival, which will run next door at Founders, from 11am – 4pm. The event is being organised by Nelson City Council, Sport Tasman, Community Action on Youth Alcohol and other Drugs (CAYAD Nelson Tasman), Multicultural Nelson Tasman and Nelson Bays Football. Sport Tasman’s Lily Joiner has been involved in similar initiatives in Wellington and says she has witnessed the power that football can have on the lives of new migrants and refugees, who may feel disconnected from their new community. Teams from across the Top of the South are invited to register for the 11 a-side, 60-minute games, and teams can be compiled in a variety of ways - whether that is by nationality, ethnicity, workplace or mixed social groups. It is hoped that the winning team will be able to represent Nelson Tasman at the New Zealand Ethnic Football Festival later in the year. Players need to be aged 16 years and older. If any businesses or individuals would like to get behind the event, or to register a team, contact Jeni at Jeni.T@sporttasman.org.nz.
