No cents in spending big in election Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Money can’t buy everything and that proved to be the case in last October’s local body elections with some of the lowest spenders being voted onto council and some of the biggest spenders missing out. T-shirts, fridge magnets, rosettes

and even paying their own children to deliver brochures may have helped win election campaigns in Nelson City, but Tasman’s council candidates were far more conservative and frugal. In the Moutere-Waimea ward the three lowest spenders were elected onto council with Tim King spending nothing, Dean McNamara outlaying just $205 and Anne Turley $329.

The biggest spender was Graeme Stradling, who forked out $2500, missing out by only 156 votes to third-placed Dean. Tim was reelected for his seventh straight term, and his sixth without spending a cent. “I did spend some the first time, but I can’t really remember how much – it probably wasn’t much,” he says. “Since I first got elected I figure you’ve either done a rea-

sonable job or not, and people will vote for you if they think you have. “When first standing, people usually don’t know you as well so you need to spend money, but once you’re there I think you need to let what you’ve done speak for itself.” Election spending by Richmond ward candidates ranged from $30 to $5000. Mark Greening

was successful with a modest $30 spend, coming in at number four, narrowly beating Michael Higgins, by 154 votes, who spent just over $5000 on his unsuccessful bid to be returned to council. The average expenditure for Richmond ward candidates was $2381, which contrasts markedly with their Moutere-Waimea ward

Iconic WWI uniform brought home Brittany Spencer A single Twitter post has reunited Ruby Bay’s Annie Coster with her grandfather’s military uniform. Lt Col Cyprian Brereton, or Cyp as Annie calls him, was a famous World War One commander who survived being shot in the head in Gallipoli, as well as being the Nelson Provincial Museum’s first professional curator. But to Annie, he was just Granddad. “He was a lieutenant, a curator, talked on the radio, spoke at schools, hosted library days, but first off he was my grandfather,”

says Annie. “He was a very eccentric and unassuming sort of bloke, when he wasn’t dressed to the nines or in his military uniform he would look like nothing on this earth, he’d wear a tea cosy on his head, and go to church in slippers.” Cyp’s military dress uniform came up for sale from a private owner a few months ago, but it wasn’t until a member of the public tweeted the news to the Nelson Provincial Museum that the family, or museum, knew it existed.

Michael Smit, Redwood Valley. “We’ve had Sam for six or seven years, he’s just a mixture of breeds. He does do tricks and he’s a great family dog, very easy going and kind natured.”

WWI uniform brought home FROM PAGE 1 jacket, breeches and cap, believed to have been Cyp’s Nelson Rifles Volunteer uniform, was purchased by the museum, which aims to preserve it. Annie, who saw the dress uniform for the first time yesterday, says she was delighted with the discovery. “I didn’t even know it existed, I was astounded when they told me, I got a sent a photograph of it and showed it to all the family, but this is the first time I’ve seen it. “For a 100-year-old uniform, it’s in such amazing nick, I wish my clothes lasted that long. It could even be what he wore to the regimental ball where the assassination of the German Kaiser was announced and war became imminent.” Cyp is known for his war contribution but many don’t know that after he was shot in the head his fiancée, 21-year-old Daisy Guy, crossed

oceans to find him. Apart from visiting Cyp in a couple of army camps, Daisy had never travelled outside of Nelson. However, the young Ngatimoti girl cashed in her inheritance and set off on a 42-day journey through war-torn countries and life-threatening situations to find Cyp in a London hospital. Cyp took 48 hours leave from the hospital to get married and, when he was well enough, the couple travelled back to Nelson. He was then sent back to war, injured and sent home a further two times, and was crossing the Cook Straight for a fourth service when the war ended. Nelson Provincial Museum CEO Lucinda Blackley-Jimson says it is great to see the uniform back in Nelson and is looking forward to exhibiting it. “Not only is Brereton an important figure in Nelson’s World War One history, he is also very significant to the museum.

“We’re more cat people, we have two cats and we’ve had lots of kittens that have gone to good homes. They’re just easier to handle and they’re independent.”

“Moss is a border collie, he’s in the office and everywhere, he’s a ‘man about town’. He’s loyal and so intelligent, makes me laugh at how smart he is. He’s like a mate.”

No cents in spending big in election FROM PAGE 1 counterparts who spent on average only $768. But that’s still less than Nelson city candidates who spent on average $3960 each. And with no opposing candidates, Lakes-Murchison councillor Stuart Bryant was returned without needing to run an election campaign at all. While the votes might have been tight in the Tasman mayoral race, the expenditure certainly wasn’t, with Maxwell Clark spending $16,860 and receiving 5142 votes whereas Kit Maling spent only $602 to secure 5761 votes, thanks to donations of $10,559. But that’s still loose change compared to the $410,814 spent by Phil Goff in his successful Auckland City mayoral campaign.

“I did wear out a pair of shoes though and didn’t claim them,” Kit says. “Every election I’ve worn out a pair

ginning

ing, advertising, hoardings and flyers. And with a $30,000 expenditure cap, successful mayoral candidate Richard Kempthorne took it close to the wire spending $25,696 to secure 6838 votes. That’s $10,000 more than he spent in the previous election but still less than unsuccessful Nelson mayoral candidate Pete Rainey who spent $28,412 and received only 5050 votes. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese earned ‘best bang for buck’, spending $27,958 and receiving 11,364 votes. The spending limit for election campaigns is formulated on a population basis with both Nelson and Tasman sitting in the 40,000 to 59,999 council population category, which has a limit of $30,000.

Nelson Airport CEO Rob Evans is a man on a mission.

Nelson Airport flying high Judene Edgar Nelson Airport are on the countdown to reaching the record-breaking “one millionth passenger” mark with a celebration planned for this Thursday. As little as two years ago, servicing one million passengers within a 12-month period was little more than a pipe-dream, but Nelson Airport CEO Rob Evans has been a man on a mission, determined to guide Nelson Airport to be the best regional airport in New Zealand. “We’ve been keeping a very

close eye on passenger numbers so we are confident that one of the three flights Thursday afternoon will contain our lucky one millionth passenger,” says Rob. Rob says that the Airport’s airline partners have created an environment of competition and choice that travellers have been lapping up. Nelson Airport is serviced by Air New Zealand, Jetstar, Sounds Air, Origin Air, Air 2 There and Golden Bay Air. “This exciting milestone is a moment of celebration for the entire Nelson-Tasman region,” says Rob.

Ian looks back on 25 years Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

When Ian Reade first joined the Mapua Volunteer Fire Brigade, he was astounded when he found out that one of the members, Neil Henderson, had been a volunteer firefighter for 20 years. That seemed such a long time to Ian, who had been persuaded to join the brigade by Murray Schwass in February 1992. But 25 years, and hundreds of fires, car crashes and medical emergencies later, Ian is still going and has no intention of calling it a day. “I was at one of my first training days and Neil said to me ‘I’ve done 20 years, I’ve done my bit’. I remember thinking ‘jeez 20 years is such a long time’, but the next 25 years has gone in a flash and I’m still here.” Although Ian had already gained plenty of experience as a rural fire fighter working in the forestry industry, he decided to join the Mapua brigade to learn new skills. He had moved to Mapua in 1988 and thought it would also be a good way to meet people and contribute to the community. “I was working in forestry and I’d been through the ranger programme, so we’d done plenty of training on vegetation fires. We used to burn-off thousands of hectares of land every year to clear it for planting so it was a great way of learning about fires. “The blocks would be sprayed and they’d put fire breaks in and then we’d light it up and stand around and jump on it whenever it escaped. We’d go in and burn-off 500 hectares and sometimes we’d be 150 per cent successful.” Ian says Ted Perry was the chief when he joined in 1992, Albie Wyatt was the training officer and Ray Mitchell was the deputy. The

Photo: Chocolate Dog Studio. brigade had 18 members, only two less than it has today. “I’ve lasted this long because I enjoy contributing to the community and working with a good team of people. Now, as chief fire officer, I also get a lot of satisfaction out of watching people develop and grow.” Ironically, the thing Ian dislikes most about the job is the fires, saying he “hates the smell of fires because you associate it with people’s misery”. Attending motor vehicles accidents can also be a grim task although Ian says, “at the end of the day, you are helping people out and you have to keep telling yourself that.” After fighting so many fires, Ian says the one that sticks in his mind is the blaze that destroyed the Mapua Aquarium in 2011. It was a frenetic night for the brigade which had to respond to a series of suspicious fires.

“We had an arsonist who had been operating around the area so we were continually being called out. The night we got paged to the aquarium fire, we

principal rural fire officer with the Waimea Rural Fire Authority (now Fire and Emergency New Zealand) since taking over from Neil Eder when he tragically died in a car crash in 2011. “I was approached to see if I’d be interested and I thought if I don’t do it now I never will. It’s been great working with such a good organisation – we’ve been held up as a model for other groups and that’s been entirely due to the people involved.” Now, after 25 years, Ian says he has no plans to stop doing what he loves. “At some stage, I’ll have to step aside. I don’t want to be there when I’ve outstayed my welcome but I don’t know when that will be.” Ian’s 25 years of service to the Mapua Volunteer Fire Brigade was recognised at a function at the Moutere Hills Community Centre on Saturday.

Great Taste Trail is excellent Judene Edgar Cycling has become a real draw-card for the region’s tourists with the Great Taste Trail’s wowfactor being recognised with a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence last month. Launched in 2010, the Certificate of Excellence awards from TripAdvisor, one of the world’s most visited travel websites with 38 million unique visitors each month, recognises services and attractions that “deliver consistently great service”, based on user reviews and ratings. “It was a total surprise”, says Cycle Trail Trust The popular Waimea Inlet leg of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail. chairwoman Gill Wratt, “but this is why we did it – not the recognition of course, but to provide people with a great ride”. Since opening the first section of the Great Taste Trail in 2011, a 1.6km path linking Nelson and Richmond along the Richmond De& viation, the number of great rides and great reviews continues to grow. TripAdvisor comments that helped them secure the award include “absolutely spectacular”, Wellington, “Great Taste Trail is really great”, Melbourne, “excellent 3-day bike ride”, UK, and “great fun”, Auckland. Despite significant milestones, including the coastal section along the Waimea Estuary, historic Spooners Tunnel and the extension to Kaiteriteri and the mountain bike park, Gill acknowledges that Trust’s work is not over. However, for Stuart Hughes, who has been a key project driver, after seven years as a trustee, chairman and project manager, he is ready for 24 someone else to pick up the mantel and to get a little more time for himself. 29 30 31 “Stuart has done an amazing job. In seven years we’ve gone from nothing to something we can all be proud of as a region”, says Gill. “He has worked wonders bringing private landowners, businesses and the local community on board”. However Stuart says that credit needs to go to the whole team who has worked with him for the past seven years. “It has given me such a feeling of satisfaction. A highlight was definitely getting Spooners Tunnel open”. Up to 240 users a day have been riding through the Tunnel, according to most recent figures. While acknowledging that he leaves big shoes to fill, Gills says that the Trust is currently on the lookout for a new project manager to be the local Great Rides Trail manager who will work with both councils to help develop the cycle head kg network. Gill says that the next stages of the Great Taste Trail will be the connection from Fresh NZ Lamb Leg Roast Fresh Broccoli Wakefield to Wai-iti Domain and Norriss Gully to Kohatu, and then on to Tapawera.

UEEN STREET

What you need to know Contractors have begun installing the street-top elements that will enliven the new streetscape in Stage 1 (Gladstone Road to Noel Leeming), including plantings and street furniture. We expect to reopen Stage 1 to vehicles before the end of the month. The major change you will notice in this area is the roundabout at the Queen Street – McIndoe Place instersection. The roundabout will help manage traffic flows at this busy junction and is also the transition point from the existing street layout to the new, pedestrianfriendly design, which features wider footpaths and no kerb and channel. Work on the underground infrastructure continues in Stage 2, from Noel Leeming to Cambridge Street. There’s lots to see in this area, with diggers and machinery working away in the construction zone, as well as wacky mirrors, colourful chalkboards and information panels

along the footpath to have fun with. Head down there to see what’s happening and support our local businesses at the same time.

Key things to remember: •

All shops are open for business as usual

•

Vehicle access is restricted from Gladstone Road to just before Cambridge Street

•

Parking is available on much of Queen Street, and in the many carparks at the rear of the shops (accessible from the ring road)

The shops in the construction zone remain open for business. The footpath is still open to pedestrians and all shops are just a short walk from the off-street parking areas. Free all-day parking is also available at Richmond Showgrounds.

Cashing in on Queen St Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz A trip to visit her sick father has ended in an unexpected win for former Richmond woman Deanna Harley, who takes home $5000 after winning Richmond Unlimited’s Cash on Queen promotion. Deanna’s name was drawn out of over 30,000 entries into the competition which ran from June 5 to July 9. Richmond Unlimited’s coordinator Charlotte Bidlake says that Deanna was absolutely stunned. “She couldn’t believe she had won, but straight away she said that she’d share it with her sister”, Charlotte says. Deanna’s father was recently diagnosed with cancer so she’s been flying back

and forth to Nelson from Auckland, where she now lives, to visit her father and support her family. Deanna’s sister Toni Baigent says that she got a phone call from a very excited Deanna. “She rang and told me all about it, all in one breath”, says Toni. “It’s been a really intense time so it’s been so nice to have something else to focus on for a second. “We’ve been jumping around on the phone and sending memes to each other”. Despite the jubilation, the unexpected windfall isn’t going to their heads. Both Deanna and Toni are planning on spending their money on family. Deanna is going to be using her share of the winnings to help pay for flights to visit the family, and Toni is planning on paying some bills and buying shoes for the family.

“It’s my son’s 16th birthday soon so I might get something nice for him as well”, says Toni. “They are such deserving winners”, says Charlotte. “I’m just so thrilled for them”. Committee member Belinda de Clercq says that it’s been great having so many businesses on board supporting the promotion. “Having the opportunity to choose where you can spend your prize has been a great reminder of just how many amazing shops we have in Richmond”. As well as the $5000 grand prize, there were also five lucky weekly winners, Kevin Hunter from Nelson, Angela Hayes, Richmond, Tania Trewavas, Richmond, Maree Cripps, Stoke and Gillian Eyles from Enner Glynn, who each received a $200 gift voucher to spend at any shop in Richmond of their liking.

Library goes to the dogs

Senior Constable Michael Moorhouse and his police dog Tala were star attractions at the Richmond Public Library last Thursday. Photo: Simon Bloomberg. Simon Bloomberg Tala the German Shepherd was obviously far more interesting than books and magazines, attracting an adoring group of children, parents and grandparents during her visit to the Richmond Public Library last week. The newly-graduated police dog and her handler Senior Consta-

ble Mick Moorhouse visited the library on Thursday as part of the library’s school holiday programme. And it proved to be one of the programme’s more popular events with around 50 children listening to Mick talk about his best friend and workmate and then lining up afterwards to give Tala a pat. There was an informative and

sometimes amusing Q and A session as well, with the children asking…well, just about everything. Does she catch people? Only bad ones. How many police dogs have you had? Tala is my fourth dog. What happens to them when they finish? I’ve had three other dogs and I’ve kept them all when they’ve retired.

Have you ever been bitten? Yes, it’s an occupational hazard. Will she have puppies one day? Yes, if she turns out to be very good police dog she will probably have puppies. If I was in the other room could Tala find me? Yes. But what if someone was buried 100 feet under the ground could she still find them? Ah…no.

Mick, who has been a dog handler for 15 years, says Tala was specifically bred for the job and has “four or five” siblings who are police dogs. Tala graduated last October and Mick says typically police dogs retire when they are around seven.

Richmond subdivision has family history

Sections in one of Richmond’s newest subdivisions are already flying out the door, fulfilling Horace Warnes’ dream after he purchased the land back in the early 1960s. Glenys Glover is Horace’s daughter and together with her husband Mike they have been working their way through the subdivision process for the last two and a half years. “Warnes is a pretty well-known name in Richmond, Horace had been the deputy mayor and he’d bought the property around 1960, at that stage it was a farm and they ran stock on it. In the late 1970searly 1980s, Horace subdivided off the bottom of the property, down to Queen St and it was always his dream to subdivide off the back too,” says Mike. “My mother-in-law Cassia Warnes died at the age of 91 and she’d been living in the homestead up until that point. Glenys and I ended up with the section through the estate settlement and one of the things Glenys wanted to do was see if she could complete the whole deal of creating a subdivision of the land around the house, which is what we’ve done.” Mike says the subdivision has been

an emotional journey, including the removal of several established trees and the Warnes family homestead, “but I think we’re both very proud of the way in which it’s turned out. Interestingly, several people who have already bought some of the sections have got ties to my in-laws or to the area. There have been a lot of comments like ‘I knew Horace Warnes’, or ‘I just lived around the corner and I’ve always wanted to have a section here’. It’s a reflection of Richmond because as Richmond’s changed, so too has the use of that property.” Located up Kihilla Rd, the former Warnes farm has been subdivided into 12 sections, with half of them already sold. “It’s certainly the premium subdivision in Richmond at the moment, and I think the real beauty of the sections is that they’re of a good size, they’re all 600-700 square metres. I guess it’s just a sign that there is a high demand for sections and so I expect these to sell out fairly quickly,” says Anthony Carppe from Bayleys Nelson. “If you haven’t been up there, it’s probably worth taking a drive and having a look at the views.”

Songs and stories bring generations together Judene Edgar Music, stories, dancing and bubbles clearly have no age-limit for attendees at the weekly ‘Preschool Music in Rest Homes’ sessions, with five generations and ages ranging from four months to over 90 years filling the Rostrevor Lounge at Oakwoods. For facilitator and ‘smile-maker’ Felicity Yates this is just another opportunity to bring a bit of joy into people’s lives. Felicity, who is better known as Flossie the Balloon Lady, says that seeing the faces of the residents light up as they watch the little ones’ dance, wiggle and clap, is such a rewarding experience. “An increasing number of older people don’t have any relatives nearby, and particularly no grandchildren or great-grandchildren, so it’s a great opportunity to provide connections between the generations”, she says. Felicity provides a range of stories and songs that, just like her attendees, span the generations, so that the young children are learning new songs and the older residents are getting to enjoy some great memories as well as make new ones. Diversional therapist Maria Gregory says that “the connection between the elderly and young is so important. It’s about choosing the right people to attend, but for those who go, it is often the highlight of their week”. It’s also the best part of the week for Year 13 Waimea College student Hannah Wiffen, who is currently on work placement at Oakwoods with a view to starting nursing training next year. “Everyone’s happy and smiling and enjoying it”, she says. Resident Helen Cook, says that she enjoys watching the children explore life and try different things. “It’s lovely having all the different ages here”, she says. Unashamedly, Helen has a favourite visitor – her four-month-old greatgranddaughter Charlotte who comes to the music sessions every week. Charlotte’s mum, Kashani Cook says that she likes Charlotte being able to spend time and have fun with her great-grandmother every week. Likewise, young mum-of-two Erin Sheehan likes bringing her daughters, Rosie,

Library to get sculptured look Judene Edgar Three interactive artworks, combined with attractive landscaping and a colourful seat, will see a fun and pedestrian-friendly community space at the front of the Richmond Library. A $2.2million refurbishment of the Richmond Library was completed in June 2010, but due to a lack of funds the proposed landscaping on the Queen St frontage was never completed. But thanks to the Nelson Sculpture Trust, the area is finally going to get its long-awaited make-over, with three bright, playful sculptures by New Zealand artist Seung Yul Oh. “We’re very pleased to have the work of Seung Yul Oh given the visual delight, sense of fun and contemporary feel that his works embody,” says Trust chairman Andrew Greenhough. Andrew says that the Trust has enjoyed a positive and proactive partnership with the Council. “The library is an ideal location for our first sculpture,” says Andrew. “Like the library, art is about stimulating thought, inspiring people and encouraging conversations.” The Trust has raised over $95,000 to commission the

all these elements come together to make the space beside the library an attractive place for people of all ages to spend time.” The timing of the sculpture installation was delayed to coincide with stage two of the Queen St upgrade, and is set to see the artworks in place by November. In addition, seating and plantings will be installed along the newly-widened footpath beside the library to add to the area’s appeal as a community space to meet and relax. The Trust have decided to use the extra time to raise

an additional $11,000 to include a seat, also designed by the artist, alongside the sculptures. The Trust have four Jane Evans paintings to gift to donors who contribute towards the seat. Andrew hopes that this will be the first of many artworks and that they will be able to build a community of arts patrons who share the Trust’s philosophy that public art contributes to a vibrant and healthy community. Anyone interested in contributing towards the seat can contact Rebecca on 021 393 970 or Andrew on 021 542 439.

Lifting the lid on rural suicide Judene Edgar Tasman’s rural communities are doing what they do best, rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty, but local groups say the Government is failing to address the alarming rate of rural suicides, leaving them with no other option but to look after themselves. Ready access to guns, combined with relationship breakdowns, social isolation, mental and physical health problems, and alcohol use, are the key contributors in farm-related suicides. The firstever study of its kind, released by the Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa NZ (RHAANZ), found that 40 per cent of farm-related suicides were by firearm, compared to about 8 per cent in the general population. “Over the last decade the annual rural suicide rate per 100,000 people is on average 20 to 50 per cent higher than the urban suicide rate,” says RHAANZ chief executive Michelle Thompson. The Rural Support Trust is one local group trying to tackle rural depression and suicide. The trust spends a considerable amount of time providing emotional support relating to depression, despite being established to pro-

vide assistance during adverse events such as drought, economic downturn and earthquakes. Murchison trustee Graeme Thomson organised a “wellness get together” in Murchison last month, which was attended by nearly 100 locals. “There is a lot of isolation in farming”, says Graeme, “so they’re not just social events, particularly for people who may be suffering depression.” The former dairy farmer says that the unique circumstances of rural life can only be truly understood by rural people who share the same challenges. “Some people can be very stoic, but we try to jump in before things get worse,” says Graeme. “We’re not there to be an expert, just there to listen.” NZ Young Farmers have also stepped up, launching a documentary for rural youth at Fieldays last month that features stories of depression and suicide by their own members. They have also begun ‘GoodYarn’ farmer wellness workshops. Territory manager Grant Ross says that they’re currently planning a GoodYarn workshop in the Tasman region for later in the year. The workshops are designed to help young farmers recognise

Currently we don’t have this and we urgently need to change this for rural people.” Consultation on the government’s draft Suicide Prevention Strategy closed June 26 and received about 500 submissions. However, Nelson’s Male Room manager Philip Chapman says, “there’s nothing new and nothing changes.” “Around 75 per cent of the people who die by suicide are men, yet they’ve not even been identified as a priority,” says Philip. Ministry of Health policy analyst Amanda Burgess says that they are currently analysing the submissions and will then provide advice to the Government on a final strategy, late in 2017.

Kyle Lightfoot has owned and operated the Caltex Bishopdale service station for the last 15 years and has just recently opened a brand-new station in Richmond, on the corner of Champion and Salisbury Roads. Before joining the service station industry, Kyle worked in banking, becoming well known among those in the Richmond area. While the change from banking to owning a petrol station may seem like a huge leap, Kyle says it’s actually very similar in that the same level of customer service applies, you are still selling people a product, and there are still strict compliance and regulations to adhere to. Work on a second Caltex site began around three years ago when Kyle started discussions with Tasman District Council on the best location for the station. The land the Caltex now sits on was under contract with Coman Holdings, “so I approached them to see if they would be interested in build-

These opportunities come in the form of three additional retail spaces on the same property as the service station. “There will be another three food outlets on this site. Over the next six to nine months that development will happen and we should have some good partners to work with to create a bit of a one-stop hub in the area,” says Kyle.

We stock the Pams brand and other value lines in order to keep our price points surprisingly low.” Caltex Richmond enjoys a spacious site, giving customers the ability to easily manoeuvre their cars and creating an efficient traffic flow. The station has an entrance off Salisbury Rd and another off Champion Rd, however cars must exit

And we have been able to train them through the Caltex in Bishopdale, so they’re all up-to-date with the processes.” Caltex Richmond is also excited about being able

While the whole process has taken quite some time, the team at Caltex Richmond is excited to be open and finally serving customers. “The service station is lucky to be working alongside some very successful New Zealand-owned business partners including Z Energy, which owns the Caltex brand in New Zealand and supplies fuel to all Caltex branded petrol stations, as well as Lotto and AA Smartfuel,” says Kyle. To celebrate their opening and treat their customers, Caltex Richmond will be offering people some great fuel discounts for the next month, starting on Thursday, July 20. Instead of the usual six cents off per litre that the AA Smartfuel card offers, Kyle says people will receive ten cents off per litre, subject to the card’s normal terms and conditions. Plus, if you purchase a touchless car wash you can receive four cents off per litre and if you purchase a coffee and muffin combo, you’ll receive two cents off per litre. So, for that month you could potentially receive a total of 16 cents off per litre in just one visit to Caltex Richmond. The car wash is the only dedicated touch free car wash in the Richmond area.

WEDNESDAY 19 July 2017

As well as people’s choice, the New Zealand King Salmon Nelson Hospitality Awards will feature several other categories, the winners of which will be decided by a panel of judges. These include Pomeroy’s Coffee and Tea Co. Barista of the Year, Greenhough Vineyards Head Chef of the Year, Westmeat Up and Coming Chef of the Year, Nelson Tasman Alcohol Accord Outstanding Host Responsibility and Kahurangi Estate Outstanding Beverage List, as well as two new awards for the accommodation sector including Best Small Accommodation Provider and Nelson Weekly and Waimea Weekly Mid-Large Accommodation Provider. The judges will be a combination of local professionals and national industry experts, who will be contacting the short-listed nominees in the coming days to inform them of their specific judging process. Peter Morrison will be judging the two accommodation sector categories, himself having recently been awarded the Queens Merit Award for his contributions to the hospital-

ity industry. He is also the treasurer of Hospitality New Zealand and his venue, The Classic Villa in Christchurch, has been awarded many accolades including six-time winner of the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence, plus, Best New/Redeveloped Accommodation Hotel in

Christchurch. The Classic Villa has also received a Qualmark five star and silver enviro award. The host responsibility award will be determined through rigorous criteria, carried out by an independent judge from the sponsor of this award, the Nelson Tasman Alcohol

Accord. Westmeat Up and Coming Chef will be judged through a mystery box cook off, to be held at NMIT on Friday, August 11, and will be judged by Howard Morris of Harry’s, Quentin Gately from Nelson Boys College and Horst Wellmeyer of Petite Fleur. Pomeroy’s Coffee and Tea Co. Barista of the Year, will be determined by Hayden Thompson from Pomeroy’s, alongside Nelson based, award-winning barista Emma Markland-Webster. Local wine critic and writer Neil Hodgson will once again judge the winner of the Kahurangi Estate Outstanding Beverage List, while Philip Raey from NMIT will join an independent, out of town judge to award the Greenhough Vineyards Head Chef of the Year, to be decided by an interview and taste-test dishes.

Managers Snippet

From the presidents pen Bricks and mortar, buildings and facilities may make a good home but our club is more than that. Its heart and soul is an amalgam of our numerous and varied membership. We are celebrating our 46th anniversary with a cabaret on August 5. It has been pointed out to me that the 25th Anniversary was celebrated in 1999 - the dates don’t match up! Yes, 1999 was Lewis Della Bosca the 25th Anniversary of the Club Charter and opening of the clubrooms, but we were a club before then! We are celebrating the 46th Anniversary of the first real coming together of the membership - a cabaret held at the Hope hall on July 31, 1971. We have come a long way since those days thanks to the work and commitment of many dedicated members. It is time to honour them and celebrate the many achievements - it is time for the members to party, so come to the cabaret

During a 4WD trip in Reefton, Club Waimea manager Wayne Williams came across this hard case sign advertising fresh fish. Assuming it led to a small shop down a side street, Wayne was humoured when he discovered the sign was actually directing people to a more DIY approach – fresh fish from the Inangahua River.

Gas Stay Specialists If you’ve ever been in that awkward predicament of trying to get the shopping in the back of the car but the boot lid won’t stay up, then you need to make a trip to the team at Gas Stay Specialists. Gas struts can be found on boots, bonnets, ute canopies, marine hatches, office chairs, campervan beds and even toy boxes. While gas struts may be a simple mechanical device, they are very much vital, especially when it comes to your car.

With winter getting closer, gas struts tend to lose pressure because they are affected by the cold atmosphere. Luckily for vehicle owners looking to motor safely and comfortably this winter, Gas Stay Specialists stock and supply quality Stabilus struts. The team can re-gas struts plus they offer free fitting on most cars and all struts come with a warranty. Come and see Gas Stay Specialists in the bright green building at 4a Gladstone Rd, Richmond, or give them a call on 544 1212.

WEDNESDAY 19 July 2017

Just a thought... Peter Somervell Lead Pastor, Grace Church The Bible has been, and continues to be, the bestselling book of all time. The Bible, you say, ‘I wouldn’t trust that. It’s full of myths and legends. It’s been discredited by modern science and teaches things like the earth is flat.’ These are the kind of things I hear when engaging with people about the Christian faith. They’ve either read or heard them second-hand and take them as fact. If they did some investigating themselves they might be surprised at what they find. For example, the Bible nowhere teaches the earth is flat. It was a view held by one or two influential people centuries ago who claimed to represent the church. They were ignored by most Christians yet somehow their writings made it into early history books as being the official Christian viewpoint. Another argument is the Bible was put together by the Emperor Constantine in the 4th Century. He wanted a form of Christianity that would solidify his power base so he modified things to suit his cause and then had it rubber-stamped at the Council of Nicaea (a view recently popularised by Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code). The truth is Christianity by that time had gained so much momentum

it was unstoppable and Constantine merely joined the side he knew wouldn’t lose. And regards to the content of the Bible - that was settled over 200 years earlier with the Muratorian Canon in 190 A.D. Let’s have a look at the bigger picture. The Bible is a collection of books written in three different languages by over 40 different authors who lived on three different continents over a time span of about 1500 years. It is written in a variety of different literary genres - history, poetry, biography, prophecy, and prose and yet contains one central, unifying theme - God’s plan of salvation for mankind. The Bible has been a huge influence in Western civilisation. It has impacted art, literature, music, ethics, social reforms and humanitarian endeavours. Our dating system and world calendar stems from the Bible. The English common law, the Bill of Rights, the Magna Carta are all rooted in the 10 Commandments of the Bible. When we pick up a Bible, we are holding in our hand a book that has outlasted repeated attempts to destroy it by force or by argument for more than 2000 years. Yet it has survived unscathed. Flag the critics. A book with that kind of reputation is worth checking out – don’t you think?

NOW OPEN While many wish the winter cold would go away, those with a passion for winter sports keenly awaited the opening of the Rainbow Ski Area. If you haven’t heard yet, the ski area opened last Saturday so now is the time to grab your skis, snowboard or sled and head up the mountain for plenty of action in the snow. Rainbow offers people crisp, pristine mountain air and being at a height of over 1760 metres, a ski area that captures regular winter snow, complemented by extensive snow making, and all superbly groomed to create a stunning winter playground. In the lead up to opening day, Rainbow’s staff have been making snow whenever the temperature and humidity allowed, however the stormy weather made the process particularly difficult. Fortunately, all the hard work paid off and people were able to enjoy a great start to the season. “We didn’t have full facilities but we had the beginner and intermediate and

We had heaps of people come up on Saturday. It was great weather, we couldn’t have asked for anything better,” says ski area manager, Matt Alcock.

This year Rainbow again relied heavily on an army of volunteers to ensure the ski area was up to scratch for opening day, with volunteer work parties taking to the field throughout the summer months to complete any repairs and maintenance. “They are really integral to

the operation and the upkeep of Rainbow and it’s really outstanding that people give their time to Rainbow. It kind of blows my mind a little bit, it’s great,” says Matt. Playing in the snow is a magical experience, whether you’re building a snowman, taking to the slopes for the first time or you’re an experienced skier who is fully prepared to make the most of the snow season. Rainbow Ski Area is proud to be a family-friendly destination, with facilities that are perfect for kids having their first go at snow sports. There are great learner and kid’s packages for the first timers, or simply come up with mum and dad and experience the mountains. If you don’t have chains, or would prefer not to drive the mountain road, the Rainbow shuttle bus provides a great transport option, running regularly from the base car park. Alternatively, chains can be hired from a number of providers that are listed on the Rainbow website. All cars and buses that are making the journey themselves do need to carry chains to access the mountain road. Rainbow boasts leading facilities with a café, first aid and emergency services, and a shop for all your accessories, clothing and Rainbow branded souvenirs. Quality rental gear is available, as well as repairs and maintenance for your snow equipment. Snow school offers lessons for all ages and abilities and this year, the team welcomes back a group of highly qualified international instructors, as well as the very popular Rainbow Snow Sports Academy, for budding skiers and snowboarders. Rainbow also offers group lessons, private lessons and coaching programmes, assessing your current ability when you sign up so you can be placed in the best class for your skiing or snowboarding level. Matt says the team has also put a lot of time and effort into building their ski and snowboard park, which is sponsored by Torpedo 7, and are looking at grooming some new tracks and widening others, however this will depend on the amount of snow available to play with. For more information on Rainbow Ski Areas facilities, visit the website today at www.skirainbow.co.nz so you can plan your snow trip with the latest weather reports and webcam footage, as well as road and lift statuses and much more.

One of Nelson’s top women’s footballers is getting ready for a big season in the US where she will make her debut for the University of North Carolina in the national collegiate Southern Conference next month. Emily Jensen accepted a football scholarship to Santa Clara in 2014 but transferred to North Carolina at the end of last season to get more game time. The former Waimea College, Richmond AFC and Junior Football Ferns star has been back in Nelson for her summer break and last week helped out at a school holiday coaching clinic at Jubilee Park. “It’s been an easy transition to

South Carolina and it’s going to be better for me because I’ll get more game time here,” Emily says. “There’s also another New Zealand girl on the team (Hannah Hoeksema) which helps – it’s going really well. “Santa Clara is a top 20 programme but on any given day in college football any team is capable of winning. All the teams are very even.” Emily says they play two preseason games against Florida State and Charlotte on August 18 and 21. South Carolina start their Southern Conference campaign against Elon on August 24 with the final scheduled for November 5 - there are eight teams in the conference. “We’ll do a lot of travelling and play two games every weekend, usually on Friday and

Got some news?

Sunday. We’ll have some long bus trips.” Although Emily was a key player in the New Zealand under-20 team that reached the quarter-finals of the Women’s World Cup in Canada in 2014, she is undecided about returning home to pursue further national honours. “I want to focus on playing for Southern Carolina and finishing my studies and after that I’m not 100 per cent sure what I’ll do. I’m looking at a range of possible options so we’ll wait and see – I may even pick up a different sport or concentrate on my career instead of football.” Emily, who joined coaches Steve Clark, Joey Turner and Tom Hickey at the coaching programme at Jubilee Park, returns to the US on Sunday.

Nelson gymnasts star at champs The Trafalgar Centre was filled with 520 gymnasts for the Top of the South gymnastics competition over the weekend . The competition saw the centre kitted out with uneven bars, beams, a spring floor, vault, rings and pommels as gymnasts from 22 clubs across New Zealand competed to get a step closer to qualifying for nationals, which will be held in Nelson in October. Among the gymnasts were 12 and 13-year-old Step Five women’s artistic gymnasts Hannah Robertson and Sienna Rajek. The Top of the South Competi-

Over all, the 60 Gymnastics Nelson athletes showed that smaller clubs can compete with the likes of Olympia and Christchurch School of Gymnastics.

tion was their largest meet yet but despite nerves from competing against so many other gymnasts, the pair’s medal haul suggests they are well on track to qualifying for nationals. Hannah took home two silver medals, coming second in the Step Five beam and overall team and placing ninth in the individual overall. Sienna won a trio of medals, coming first in the Step Five floor and vault, second in the Step Five overall team and placing sixth individually. “I wanted to get 50 points and I got 53 plus the two golds and

Standouts included Alex Pearson who placed first in the Men’s Level 1 section, winning all but two of his events, the parallel bars and the horizontal bar. Quinn Birss took out the Men’s Level 7 Apparatus against two Olympia gymnasts, winning vault and rings. The Women’s Step 2 Over was won by Elise Smith who took out the vault and uneven bars. Hana Williams won the Gold level, also claiming first place in the vault and uneven bars, followed closely by teammate Sasha Challenger who won the floor.

Taylors Wanderers will need to get out of the blocks faster when it plays Nelson in the Car Company Nelson division one rugby final at Trafalgar Park on Saturday. Wanderers has been one of the form teams this season and made the final after beating Waimea Old Boys 30-26 at Brightwater last Saturday. However, the defending champion had to come back from a 12-0 deficit after conceding two early tries and coach Sam Gibbens says they will need to make a better start against Nelson “We’ve been a bit slow to get

into the game the last two weeks so we’ll need to get a good start”, Sam says. “We can’t afford to concede too many points early.” Sam says they will also be focusing on their set pieces and retaining possession to try and nullify Nelson’s dangerous backline. “We’ll have to be patient and hang onto the ball and not kick it away because we can’t afford to give players like Tima (Faingaanuku) any opportunities. We will also need to try and contain Ethan Blackadder and Shane Grieve because they run their forward pack.” Sam says he’s happy with his team’s form leading into the final and considers they will be even stronger on Saturday with the return of key players, half

back Jake Berthelsen and midfielder Sione Holani. Strong running wing Fletcher Matthews made a big impact in the semi-final scoring two tries in his first game back from a bout of pneumonia. “It was good to get Fletcher back last week and we’ll get Sione and Jake back this week. The only thing we have to do now is work on our final combinations and polish off a few things.” Although Sam concedes the final will be a big occasion, he says it will be business as usual at training this week. “The boys were asking me at our pool session on Sunday if they’d still get a thrashing on Thursday night and I said ‘yes’. If it isn’t broke, why try and fix it.” The final kicks off at 3pm.

Waimea Old Boys RFC

WOB make good progress in 2017 Simon Bloomberg Waimea Old Boys team just missed out a shot at a double when it lost its Car Company Nelson Bays division one semi-final to Taylors Wanderers 30-26 at Brightwater on Saturday. Waimea had already secured the Tasman Trophy earlier in the season and looked to be on track for a second final when it raced to an early 12-0 lead against Wanderers on Saturday. But Wanderers fought back to lead 19-12 at half time and then repelled a late challenge to edge out Waimea to secure a place in Saturday’s final against Nelson. Although coach Mark Milne was disappointed to miss out on a second final, he says he’s pleased with his young team’s progress this season. “We got a chance to win it but we didn’t put our game together for long enough periods,” Mark says. “They also got ascendancy up front and probably deserved to win on that basis. “We had a plan around our defence and line speed and that got taken away from us early on in the piece when we Waimea Old Boys’ Chris Mason makes a break against Wanderers in their Car Company Nelson division 1 rugby semi-final played got penalised a few times.

Everyone is welcome to attend our public meetings. There is a public seating area where you can observe the meeting, with many of the meetings having a ‘public forum’ providing an opportunity to speak to the meeting if you wish. At the beginning of ordinary meetings up to 30 minutes is set aside for public forum. Each speaker is allocated five minutes. You don’t need to pre-register your intention to speak – just take your turn when invited by the chairperson. These presentations don’t form part of the formal business of the meeting – a brief record will be kept of the matters raised. Any matters requiring further investigation may be referred to staff by the Chairperson.
