Local businesses need our help Charles Anderson Journalist

Businesses in the region are having to face some tough questions as most of the country moves into Alert Level 3 today. Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce chief executive Ali

Boswijk says there is still a lot of uncertainty about how businesses will operate. “The main thing is businesses that are hardest hit by Level 4 will continue to be hit by Level 3.” Those are businesses that require people to be in their premises. “If we don’t see any cases in the South Island in the next few days

it will be quite difficult for the Government to retain everyone at Level 3.” Ali says that businesses are accepting of the situation, but there is a serious question of how they continue to operate. “People are knackered, they are tired… for some, it may just be the last straw. Not every business

wants to take on more debt.” Ali says locals need to step up to help their regional businesses and should think about paying early for things that they know they will need, like Christmas presents. “That will really help get cash into these businesses. That is the immediate need.” She also says that people need to

be understanding that everyone is struggling. “Give people a bit of slack.” Richmond Unlimited is also supporting local businesses by giving locals a one-stop link to find out what is open during Level 3.

Local hospitality services are ready again to serve locals under Level 3 restrictions from today. Under the new alert level,

businesses legally must be contactless with customers paying online, over the phone or in a contactless way. Delivery or pick-up must also be contactless. This means that many hospitality services

100% locally owned and operated

can open if they operate in this way. Although Raeward Fresh has had a steady stream of customers through its Champion Rd store during Alert Level 4, owner Laura Caldwell has been looking

forward to Alert Level 3. From today, they not only open their butchery on McGlashen Ave, the wholesale side of business will pick up. Continued on page 2

Hospo businesses ready for Level 3 Police issue from page 1 During Alert Level 4, they continued to supply essential services such as hospitals, rest homes, and boats that were still going out to sea. Today’s move to Alert Level 3 means they will now also be supplying many restaurants that are reopening. Laura says that people coming into the shop know what to do this time and have been playing by the rules. Harry’s Fish Shop owner Harry Morris is relieved to be moving down an alert level after having to close up shop during lockdown. “It means getting back in and opening the shop what we want to be doing.” Harry is excited to open again to customers under Level 3 protocols. “Deliveries are a bit complicated

so it was easier for us just to wait. Level 3 means we can open the shop and have click and collect.” Fortunately for Harry’s staff, the business qualified for the government wage subsidy. He says they are likely to have a limited menu on reopening. “I think we will run a bit lean on product and close earlier for the first few days, but we will play it by ear.” Liquorland Stoke owner Damien Dolejs was eagerly awaiting the decision with his business taking a hit over lockdown. After a surge of customers poured into the store on the eve of lockdown to stock up on spirits and RTDs, things have since slowed for the business. “We stayed open until 9pm on the Tuesday, it went bananas but since lockdown it’s been a drop in the bucket compared to what we usually do.”

Damien and his wife have been able to remain open for contactless deliveries, however, this has been made more difficult with a young family. “Ultimately we need to get our doors open, we are a small business, and these lockdowns are tough.” Owner of Kebab Kitchen, Yusuf Corten, is looking forward to not only serving customers again but helping those in need with free meals. “This sudden lockdown affected us all, but we will get through this together with the whole country.” Yusuf is notorious in Nelson for never charging anyone who cannot afford to eat. “I’m getting ready to help more people as soon as the lockdown is over. I know more and more people have lost their jobs and need help.”

New Asia manager Grace Kou says they will open their doors on Wednesday for takeout only and the smorgasbord will be available though will not be selfserve. “Under Level 3 last time we were not allowed to have people in the store, so we will pack their food for them.” Grace says the lockdown has not been too detrimental to the restaurant. “So far, so good for us with it being only two weeks, but if it went on any longer we may have had some problems.” She is hopeful customers will return next week. “It is hard to say. “With the Delta virus more people might be worried to come out. “There is a lot of uncertainty, we just hope people will follow the rules.”

lockdown infringements At the end of last week police in the Nelson Tasman region had received 400 online breach notifications. A police spokesperson says more than half of these related to gatherings. More than 100 pertained to businesses with just over 50 being reports about individuals. At 5pm, 26 August 2021, five people had been charged and 52 warnings had been issued in the Tasman district. Police were stopping vehicles at checkpoints last week, including one between Richmond and Stoke. More than 30 infringements were issued for failing to remain at home/residence. Last Friday, just one infringement had been issued for failing to comply with the applicable physical distancing rules.

Region leads Covid-19 vaccination rates Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Locals are taking up the call to get the vaccine as New Zealand continues its fight against Covid-19. The now FDA-approved Pfizer vaccine is being administered in its thousands to all ages. As of 22 August, more than half the region’s eligible population has received its first dose of the vaccine. This is 116,165 people or 114 per cent of the Nelson Marlborough Health Board’s rollout plan. This puts the region at the top of the country in terms of planned vaccines administered, edging Whanganui by one per cent. General manager strategy, primary and community at Nelson Marlborough Health, Cathy O’Malley, says on a day last week, 4259 vaccines were administered across the Nelson Tasman and Marlborough district. This was the largest number in one day. Staff at Tasman Medical Centre and Queen Street Pharmacy feel things are slightly different this lockdown. “People seem more aware of what Alert Level 4 looks like this time and have gone direct-

Consultations are mostly being done by phone, but doctors and nurses are still seeing those who staff have assessed as requiring a face-to-face consultation. Phone consultations have been available for the past year but Amy says most people reverted to coming into the prac-

tice after the first lockdown. Queen Street Pharmacy owner Sue Morris says they are waiting on final approval to begin Covid-19 vaccinations. They already have a list of people waiting. Those having vaccinations will go through from the front door and vaccinations will be done in both the beauty room and the consulting room. General manager primary care at Nelson Bays Primary Health, Charlotte Etheridge, says families are making the most of the opportunity to get the jab while in lockdown. “The vaccine will always be there but now is the perfect time to come get it. It’s safe, we are running all Level 4 precautions.” Charlotte says from 1 September, everyone aged 16-29 will be eligible for vaccination but can receive the jab with their parents before then. “A lot of kids find it reassuring being with their parents. We also have a nurse to answer all questions and concerns they or their families may have.” She says the process is easy, accessible and painless.

CCTV to deter lockdown fly tippers Jo Kent Illegal rubbish dumping, otherwise known as fly tipping, has increased during lockdown this year. Tasman District Council has had reports of everything from queen-sized mattresses to scrap MDF being dumped roadside during Level 4. TDC communications manager Chris Choat, says the council is aware of several problem areas, including Wairoa Gorge in Brightwater. “We will install covert CCTV cameras in areas where rubbish is repeatedly illegally dumped. This has been highly successful in prosecuting offenders in the past.” He says the maximum infringement fee is $400, but if the council prosecutes through the court system, fines can be up to $20,000. In the 2019/2020 financial year, collection and disposal of illegally dumped rubbish cost Tasman District Council ratepayers more than $35,000. “This may well be the tip of the iceberg as we know a lot of rural landowners pick up rubbish on the road reserve without alerting us,” Chris says. Fly tipping can have a serious impact on the environment and some of the things dumped pose a health risk. Animal carcasses, whiteware, furniture and nappies have all been left previously. “If we can identify who’s doing it, we can recover costs from them or prosecute them,” Chris says.

Tourism award a bright spot for swingbridge Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Hearing they are a Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice Award winner is a bright spot during a hard winter for the Buller Gorge Swingbridge Adventure and Heritage Park. This award places them in the top 10 per cent of attractions reviewed on Trip Advisor worldwide. “I think it goes off responses and reviews,” says owner Ju-

lian Wiseman. Julian, like many owners of tourist attractions, had fears for the future when Covid-19 hit last year. Prior to the borders closing, 80 per cent of their clientele were international tourists. “Most of our customers were gone,” says Julian. However, things went surprisingly well. Once they were able to reopen, they saw record numbers in school holidays, Queen’s Birthday Weekend and Labour Weekend.

“People were keen to explore their back yard,” he says. “Kiwis were very supportive of local tourism.” He says talking to customers revealed many were meant to be on a cruise or safari, but were instead using their travel budget locally. “One woman was supposed to be on a safari in Africa but instead, she was enjoying our wekas,” he says. “You don’t have to go to Africa for an animal experience.” This year has been a little difficult. While holidays are still

bringing record numbers, the shoulder season has been very quiet. And where the weather was favourable last year, in 2021 it hasn’t been kind to them. “We have been affected by the floods. The river was at record high, there was damage to tracks and roads were closed on numerous occasions due to slips.” They were operating fully again before lockdown and are looking forward to spring and seeing more visitors again.

Students happy at NCEA exam delay Jenny Nicholson

What learning looks like in Level 3 Erin Bradnock

Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

School students sitting NCEA will have a further two weeks to study before exams. NZQA made the announcement to principals last week that exams have been delayed and will now start on Monday 22 November and finish on 14 December. This will allow for extra time to prepare for external assessments and complete internal assessments. Waimea College principal Scott Haines says the decision was made in the best interest of students. “NZQA have a few other tricks up their sleeves to support students if lockdown continues,” he says. These include a possible change in the threshold for Endorsement and University Entrance, and Learning Recognition credits. Scott says the changed dates will mean changes in the calendar for term four, particularly in terms of timing of senior assessment week, senior prizegiving and the principal’s prizegiving. Portfolio submissions have also been moved out two weeks.

Local schools have opened their doors to some students in Level 3, however, for most, learning will continue online. The Ministry of Health advises that schools and kura will be open in Level 3 for children in Years 1 to 10 whose parents or carers need to go to work and have no available options for childcare. All young people in Years 11, 12 and 13 have been told to continue learning from home. The Ministry of Health says that students and teachers will not have to wear face coverings on school grounds unless they choose to. Students can expect supervised online study with physical distancing restrictions in place. Waimea College principal Scott Haines contacted parents on Friday to inform them that they will be open to re-enrolled students from today. Garin College parents have been informed to fill out a survey for students who need to attend. Principal John Maguire told parents on Friday they will be keeping students and teachers in group bubbles of no more than 20 students. John says they will be reassessing their school calendar in light of Covid-19 disruptions. The Ministry of Education told schools last week that NCEA exams would start on Monday 22 November and finish on Friday 14 December, two weeks later than the original schedule.

Road patrollers take on new challenge in lockdown Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

As lockdown put a stop to the Richmond Community Patrol (RCP) carrying out their nightly rounds helping to prevent crime, team leader, Marty Price, had other ideas for his volunteers. “We can’t do our usual patrolling because lockdown means there can’t be two of us in the car together and we need that for safety reasons.” Instead, he reached out to Kai With Love and offered the services of his team to help with food collection and distribution to those in need. “We have a spare car and petrol which is supplied to us, so we are happy to help.” He says his team are going to be on hand throughout lockdown, helping to load food parcels into cars, and keep things running smoothly with the stricter measures in place. “People who come to pick up food parcels have been told to stay in their cars and put their name on a sheet of paper to display in their windows.” The helpers will then go to fetch the parcel and load it into the car

Both volunteers and recipients are under instruction to wear masks and not to stop and talk. “It’s a case of being safe but still delivering a great service to those who need it the most.” Steve MacDonald is one of the newer volunteers from the RCP

and didn’t realise there was such a big need for Kai With Love in the community before he started helping out last week. “It’s great to be able to offer our time to something worthwhile, especially as we can’t get out to patrol right now.” He says the road patrolling shift

is usually between the hours of 10pm and 2am. “Volunteering in the day has given me something to do in lockdown and gets me out of the house.” Abigail Packer, coordinator from Kai With Love, says it was a welcome relief when Marty and his

team volunteered. “We’re truly grateful to have them working alongside us assisting in the ‘no contact’ distribution of food boxes.” Marty’s patrollers are spread over three separate areas; Richmond, Stoke and Tāhunanui. “We’ll do it for as long as they need us to. It’s the community helping the community.” The RCP clocks up around 7,500km and 1,000 voluntary hours each year. The Richmond group is part of the Community Patrols of New Zealand (CPNZ). It is one of more than 150 similar community patrol groups throughout the country, which have more than 5,000 volunteers across New Zealand.

Alert Level Santa Claus Jo Kent It’s a bit of an unusual sight for September, but Christmas has come early to Richmond. Louis Hornell, owner of the Oxford Court Motel, has put up his festive inflatables to spread some Christmas cheer in the community – albeit a bit early. “We’ve decided to cancel 2021 and go straight to Christmas instead.” Louis, along with his wife Kristina, are Christmas fanatics who usually put up over 100 inflatables and around $10,000 worth of lights on their property in December. “We start the month before Christmas as it literally takes us that long to put up the 50,000 lights and create all the different scenes.” However, this time round, he won’t be getting his entire collection out. “We’re just putting out the big ones that can be seen over the fence,” says Louis. “Our 16ft Santa is up already and I’m going through the

boxes to find some reindeer too.” He’s planning to put up some lights which can be programmed electronically with messages to boost morale during lockdown. “I’ve got some fancy lights which I can programme to say whatever I want, so I’m hoping to have them high above the fence so people can read it.” He says due to the increasing number of decorations the couple have amassed over the last 12 years, they’ve had to put in two extra sheds in the garden to keep them all in. Louis says going through the boxes for his Covid display has been a huge job but it’s given them something to do. The family were last year’s winners of Nelson Tasman Christmas Lights and won a twonight getaway to a bach in Delaware Bay. He says they are planning on going back this summer, providing lockdown is over.

Lockdown lesson leads to Triassic fossil find Staff Reporter When six-year-old Cooper Kent, a budding palaeontologist, went on a lockdown bike ride with his mum, he never expected to discover fossils dating back 200 million years to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. His mum, Jo, says they’d only hopped on their bikes for a quick ride around the block. “Seeing as we are home schooling during lockdown, I thought

it might be fun to wander along Hart Road creek while the water was low and see if we could learn anything new.” Jo had no idea there would be fossils among the rocks, so when Cooper picked something up and said it was a fossil, she thought he must be mistaken. “He’s recently got into dinosaurs and says he wants to be a palaeontologist, so I just thought he was messing around.” But closer inspection revealed it

was the real deal. “The further along the creek we walked, the more we found. I think we got around 15 in the end.” When they got home, they used old toothbrushes to clean them up and then sent photos to a fossil expert in Upper Moutere to ask what they were. “When we were told they were from the Triassic period around 201 million years ago, Cooper was thrilled. He had found some-

thing dating back to the dinosaurs.” The fossils they discovered are called monotis richmondiana and existed during the late Triassic and Jurassic era – before birds were even on Earth. Most of New Zealand’s fossils are marine shells which were buried by sediment on the sea floor and the ones Cooper found are brachiopods, which are like small scallops or clams. “Our discovery turned into an unexpected lesson into the geology of Richmond,” says Jo. “We found out these types of fossils are common around here and even up in the hills. That’s how they got their name.” Local vineyard Fossil Ridge,

Big snow but nobody to ski it Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The first night of Level 4 lockdown and Nelson Lakes received the best snowfall in eight years, according to Lake Rotoiti Alpine Lodges Alexandra Unterberger. “[It] was quite spectacular,” she says. “It snowed and snowed.” That has been hard for some businesses in St Arnaud. Alexandra says as soon as it snows people usually pack

their family in the car and come to touch the snow. But this time, no one could travel. “It would have been one of the biggest weeks in the whole winter for us,” she says. The lodge had six functions cancelled over the last two weekends. “It wasn’t just the great snowfall, we’ve had such beautiful weather too.” Although it’s been tough losing business over this time, Alexandra says she is still

very lucky because she lives in the very supportive community of St Arnaud. “The community is always there for them and they for the community,” she says. “I am very grateful for what I have.” Rainbow Ski Area mountain manager Tom Harry says the snow they received at the start of lockdown was on the bigger side, but they do tend to get one big fall a season. Around 60 cm to a metre fell in the basin during the storm which came out of the

More sports events cancelled With the country just emerging from Level 4 lockdown, a number of sporting events have been cancelled or postponed across the Nelson Tasman region. Jonty Dine reports.

Network Tasman resumes planned network maintenance

Mountain Biking: Nelson was set to host a round of The Enduro World Series in April, an international mountain biking event which was set to attract hundreds of pro-riders from around the globe. However, the decision has been made to cancel the event. Nelson Mountain Bike Club chair Melanie Schroder says, “Nelson was bursting with excitement at the prospect of an EWS being held here. New trails have been built, we will have new infrastructure in place for all mountain bikers and the course was going to showcase the best trails that are unique to anywhere else in the world.”

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

As an essential service, Network Tasman operates a year round maintenance program designed to ensure our electricity network is efficiently maintained. During Alert Level 4, we continued to respond to emergency events, but suspended all other work on our network. However as we move down the alert levels, it is important we resume our maintenance work. We will prioritise work that doesn’t require customer outages, but in some instances, a small number of outages will be unavoidable.

College Sports: The New Zealand Secondary Schools Sports Council has announced the cancellation of all sanctioned events on its calendar through to Monday 6 September 2021. This includes all events scheduled within the Winter Tournament Week window. “School Sport NZ is acutely aware of the impact this decision will have on many of our rangatahi,

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

particularly those senior students who face the possibility of having events cancelled for a second successive year.”

mainder of the season. It is also looking at options to cater to college athletes after the cancellation of tournament week. Volleyball: Monday’s latest round of the Legends League was cancelled. Please check the Nelson Bays Volleyball Facebook page for updates regarding next week’s round.

Golf: Golf NZ is currently working with government on what the implications for golf will be. Based on current advice (and previous Alert Level 4 guidance), we are following Golf NZ advice which is as follows: All golf club facilities close. All Golf courses close. Essential golf course maintenance can be undertaken. Basketball: All Nelson Basketball competitions have been postponed this week. Nelson Basketball says it is working on contingencies for the re-

Rugby: New Zealand Rugby has made the decision to cancel all rugby at all levels again this weekend. In another blow to the region, the popular Mike’s 7’s event which was scheduled to take place at the weekend, has been cancelled. Netball: All netball activity for Netball Centres in New Zealand is postponed. This means no organised netball activity and all events and competitions postponed, on hold or cancelled. Football: NZ Football has suspended all football activity across the country and no games played this weekend.

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

NEWSLINE UPDATES KE E PI N G YO U I N FO RM E D ABO UT N E WS AN D E VE NT S I N TH E TAS MAN D I STRI CT

Where to find information For information on Council services, visit our website, tasman.govt.nz. For information on alert levels, visit the Unite against Covid-19 website, covid19.govt.nz. For updates on vaccine availability and clinic locations visit the Nelson Marlborough Health website, nmdhb.govt.nz. For information on the financial support available, visit the Ministry of Social Development website, msd.govt.nz.

From Wednesday 1 September we are in Alert Level Three. At Alert Level Three, there are some further changes to Council services, however many restrictions are still in place. Rest assured essential services will always be provided.

Council services at Alert Level Three • All Council offices are closed but we are always available by phone on 03 543 8400. • All libraries are closed but many resources are available online. Find out more at tasmanlibraries.govt.nz. • All community recreation centres, including the Richmond Aquatic Centre are closed. • All playgrounds and drinking fountains are closed.

Rubbish

Rates grace period

Kerbside rubbish collections continue as normal.

Tasman residents who pay their rates over the counter but are unable to do so because of lockdown are being given a grace period. The first instalment of this year's rates was due on Friday 20 August. For the duration of the higher levels of Covid-19 restrictions, levels three and four, our Customer Service Centres will remain closed for physical payments. We will provide an additional five working days after lockdown ceases, when our offices reopen, for customers to make over the counter payments. Overdue payment penalties will be applied after that five-day period. But remember another payment option is our secure online system. You can use any of the following methods, either from your bank account using account2account, or with Visa or Mastercard. Visit our website for more information, tasman.govt.nz/do-it-online/payment/.

Resource Recovery Centres are open to commercial customers and the general public but for a limited range of services – mixed waste, scrap metal, greenwaste and cleanfill only. No face-to-face services (like Agrecovery or Reuse Shops) are available. Normal opening hours apply, but please expect delays. No multiple weighing for split loads on weighbridges – one weigh in and one weigh out. Contactless payment only (by account, or contactless card, no EFTPOS or cash). All customers must scan in with the government NZ COVID Tracer app, or at the manual sign-in locations, or give their name and contact details to the kiosk operator. One customer per vehicle – if you are not able to unload with one person then you will need to delay your visit until Alert Level Two. All customers must wear a mask if they are leaving their vehicle or talking to the kiosk operator. We will be limiting the number of customers on site – please expect delays, with potentially long delays at peak times.

Recycling Kerbside recycling will continue as normal, and we are now able to process all recycling. However, we will be taking a strict approach to contamination – this means checking recycling bins and not collecting any dirty recycling. Please keep your recycling clean. Contamination in our recycling, especially used face masks or protective equipment, could cause our plant to shut down. There is currently no public recycling drop-off at the moment. We will reinstate this service once the demand for waste disposal falls and we are confident we can operate safely.

• All recreational boat ramps are closed.

Help keep our people safe

• Moturoa / Rabbit Island and Rough Island Reserves are now open.

Right now it’s more important than ever to keep our staff and contractors safe. Please make sure that your recycling is clean, and does not contain any non-recyclable materials. If in doubt, check out our website. It is absolutely essential that your recycling bin does not contain any sanitary items or personal protective equipment. Tissues, gloves and face masks must go in your rubbish bin. This is for everyone's safety. Thank you for helping keep our essential workers safe. Remember to give them a friendly wave when you see them out working!

• Mountain bike parks and tracks are now open, but riders need to be sensible. Don’t drive long distances to your favourite track. Choose a nearby track that you are experienced at riding. Always maintain your physical distance from other riders and don’t gather in groups. • Work on some Council projects will be restarting provided our contractors can meet the requirements for physical distancing and increased hygiene on site. • Some building inspections are now able to be carried out, excluding final inspections. Strict inspection protocols will be in place to manage the risk around Covid-19. Please call us on 03 543 8400 for more details and to arrange an appointment. • If you are walking a dog at Alert Level Three, it must be on a lead as per Ministry for Primary Industries rules.

Freedom camping Any freedom campers who were unable to travel home, must now be in an official campground where facilities for proper hygiene are available. In some cases, financial support to cover accommodation costs may be available. Contact the Ministry of Social Development for more information.

Public transport Bus services can now be used for a wider range of journeys – including going to work and school if necessary. Payment is contactless through Bee Card only. The reduced bus timetable will continue, with the addition of the Richmond Loop service. Routes 1 and 2 (between Richmond and Nelson), and the Richmond Loop are running on the Saturday timetable. Face coverings are mandatory when travelling on the bus and while waiting at bus stops. You must not travel on the bus if you are unwell, have been advised to take a Covid-19 test or are awaiting test results. QR codes are available on all buses and scanning is required. One metre physical distancing is required on buses at Alert Level Three. This may limit bus capacity, so please allow plenty of time for your journey.

Public toilets While many public toilets around the District are closed at Alert Level Three, some facilities remain open. They are all open 24 hours except Warring Carpark which is open 7.30 am – 6.00 pm daily. All open toilets have an increased cleaning regime in place. • Wallace Street toilet, 20 Wallace Street, Motueka • Memorial Hall toilet, 12 Pah Street, Motueka • Gladstone Road toilet, 22 Gladstone Road, Richmond • Warring Carpark toilet, 36 Oxford Street, Richmond • Wakefield Rec Reserve toilet, 40 Clifford Road, Wakefield • Wakefield Village Green toilet, 11 Whitby Way, Wakefield • St Arnaud toilet, 22 Main Road, St Arnaud • Murchison Rec Reserve toilet, 34 Hampden Street, Murchison • Fairfax Street toilet, 43 Fairfax Street, Murchison • Willow Street toilet, 16 Willow Street, Tākaka • Collingwood Hall toilet, 9 Tasman Street, Collingwood
