Richmond water level critically low

Richmond residents were urged not to shower, flush their toilets or use their dishwasher or washing machines after a water main in Lower Queen St was broken on Monday afternoon. Contractors working on a wastewater pipe upgrade near the corner of Headingly Lane “disrupted the system”, however council spokesperson Chris Choat says, “we know it wasn’t the result of a direct strike, but we’ll be undertaking investigations to see how and why it happened”. Council diverted water via a backup system, however water levels in Richmond were “critically low”, so residents in the area from Queen St to Hart Rd, and from Wensley Rd east to the foothills were advised that they may run out of water. A water tanker was positioned on Hill St to provide water if needed. Water from other supplies may be chlorinated so residents may notice a taste difference or smell for the next day or two. A council spokesperson says no bacteria has been found, and that the chlorine “is purely a protective measure so we can be certain we are continuing to supply potable water to the public”. Council has advised that when the water comes back on after the repairs, residents may experience fluctuations in water pressure. “When the water supply is back on, we advise you to run your taps for a few minutes to clear any air from

Keen to be King

Washbourn Gardens was dotted with candles, carols rang out, and children danced beneath the bubbles for Sunday’s Carols by Candlelight. Close to 1500 people packed picnics and set up chairs and rugs in what could be the biggest ever turnout for the annual

Christmas event. “The highlight was seeing so many families and friends coming down and enjoying the Christmas spirit,” says event organiser Lani Evans. “There were so many kids and parents getting up and dancing, everyone was having a lot of fun.”

Lani says Carols by Candlelight, which has been running for over 20 years, was the perfect chance to get together with family and enjoy Christmas time, an opportunity locals were making the most of. Sitting on their picnic rugs right at the front of the packed-

out crowd were the Childs and Russ families. Seven-year-old Miah Childs says she loved dancing and watching the light display on the trees. Meanwhile, eight-year-old Aaliyah Russ says young guest singer Mia Coldicott was her favourite part of the night.

Water level critically low FROM PAGE 1 the system.” Tasman District Council project manager Rob O’Grady says that they first identified that there was a problem around 1.30pm but it took until 4pm to ascertain the nature of the problem.

Contractors worked furiously aroundthe-clock and were able to fix the repair by 4am the following morning. While the reservoirs have begun to refill, Council reminds residents that restrictions remain in place, and with no significant rain forecast there is still a need to conserve water.

The need for water is hitting home with water restrictions being extended in Tasman as of Monday, December 18. Water users on the Waimea Plains moved to Stage two water restrictions, meaning a 35 per cent cut in consented takes for those permit holders in Reservoir, Waimea West, Upper Confined, Upper Catchments, Delta, and Golden Hills zones. Those in the Lower Confined and Hope Gravels zones are now on Stage one restrictions, meaning a 20 per cent cut. Tasman District Council’s Dry Weather Taskforce convener Dennis Bush-King says, “the Waimea River has dropped down below trig-

ger levels at Wairoa Gorge, but more significantly, key groundwater bores are now in decline and the river is starting to drop faster because of it.” He says that soil moisture deficits on the Waimea Plains are at levels normally experienced in late February and he understands that there is a four to five day waiting list for water tank refills. “Water has started to be released from the Kainui Dam in the Wai-iti Zone so there are no restrictions in the Wai-iti Zone,” Dennis says. Waimea Irrigators Limited director Murray King told councillors at the Waimea Dam hearings last week that he’s “seen the insidious impact of drought on commu-

ginning

nities”. A farm management consultant in South Canterbury during the 1987/88 drought, which had an estimated cost to the economy of $360million, Murray says “rainwater tanks don’t help if dry and the river is dry”. “All non-consented water use in the Moutere Domestic area is restricted to domestic use such as productive gardens and household use,” Dennis says. “And the forecast looking forward is not helpful.” Restrictions remain for urban water users in Richmond, Mapua, Ruby Bay, Brightwater, Wakefield, and Hope, and their rural extensions. Only handheld hosing is permitted every second day, according to your house number.

Make way for the market Judene Edgar

Richmond retailers are happy that Queen St is closing again, because this time it’s for the Richmond Market Day. Richmond Market Day is billed as the biggest market in the top of the south and the town’s busiest day of the year. Around 140 stalls will line the street providing the crowds of people with an amazing array of clothes, crafts, jewellery, fresh produce, art, plants and so much more, from all around the country. In addition to the firm favourites, Richmond Unlimited’s event coordinator Charlotte Bidlake is excited about the number of first-time stallholders coming this year.

“It’s such a vibrant market with something for everyone,” she says. Richmond retailers will also be joining in, with the shops open and lots of them having stalls out the front with some amazing bargains available. “The new Queen St layout is designed with events and activities in mind, so it’s going to be such a great space for both the stallholders and the shoppers,” says Charlotte. To complement the shopping experience there will be roving entertainment from Faery Lou, the Twisty Twinz, stilt walkers, jugglers, musicians and some of your favourite Dress Up Box characters. The ever-popular Flossie the Balloon Lady will also be there to

entertain the children along with a magician, bouncy castle and face painting. And for when you need a bite to eat, they’re providing an international banquet this year with everything from cronuts to whitebait patties, nachos, waffles, pulled pork ciabatta, vegetarian burgers and real fruit ice cream. “Sundial Square is going to have tables and chairs with umbrellas so that people can sit and relax while they sample some of the amazing food on offer.” Richmond Market Day is on Friday, December 29, from 9am to 4pm along Queen St and Sundial Square.

Years of frustration have ended in jubilation for the Wakefield community after Tasman District Council’s decision to ban freedom camping from Edward Baigent Memorial Reserve last Thursday. Until now, freedom camping at the scenic bush reserve that had been gifted to the Council by the Baigent family in 1952 in honour of Wakefield’s founding father Edward Baigent, had been unrestricted. However, with up to 50 vehicles camping overnight, the small reserve has been damaged by fires, rubbish and human excrement. Despite widespread community concern, the draft Freedom Camping Bylaw that council put out for consultation earlier this year still recommended permitting freedom camping at the reserve. Council received over 100 submissions either wanting camping banned entirely or restricted

to self-contained vehicles at the Edward Baigent Memorial Reserve. Grand-daughter Heather Baigent, who coordinated the submission on behalf of the Baigent family, says that the family are very pleased and relieved. “As the children of the donor family, we felt we had a responsibility to our parents to do what we could to protect and preserve their legacy, gifted as a memorial to our greatgrandfather, Edward Baigent, the father of Wakefield.” “We could not have ignored what was happening to the reserve and are so thankful a solution has now been found.” Heather and cousin Gwenda Parker, who was at the council meeting when they made their decision last week, say that they are extremely grateful to Evie and Doug South and their fellow members of the Wakefield Bush Restoration Society, for the work that they’ve done to protect and preserve the re-

serve. Doug South, president of the Wakefield Bush Restoration Society, who has led much of the community action to ban freedom camping at the reserve says, “this is a day for the Baigent family and the community of Wakefield who stood up to be counted to take back what was given to the community, from a council that did not want to know or listen but in the end had to.” “Now begins the healing and restoration of this Scenic Reserve to its former glory”. Council closed the reserve gates on Monday for three months to prevent camping access and to acclimatise people to the change. A council spokesperson says they will be “shifting the gates in a little way to enable a small amount of parking.” Over the next three months, normal maintenance will be carried out as well as work to restore damage caused by recent freedom camping.

Cycle trail “mystery” is solved Cycling along the Great Taste Trail, Pete Laing was curious as to what the large structure was just past the Waimea River suspension bridge. “We thought a quick post to Facebook would reveal the answer, but nobody came close,” says Pete. “We can’t be cycling past structures like this on our cycle trails without knowing what they are, can we”? Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust were able to provide

the answer. They say that the building was erected in 1976 to house an aeronautical radio beacon. Called a VOR/DME, it transmitted compass direction and distance information. Pilots used this information to navigate to Nelson when in cloud or darkness. Similar beacons were used around the country, but were usually sited at airports. Nelson Airport’s proximity to the hills would have made the beacon’s cover-

age inadequate, hence its position here. In the early 1990s, technology allowed a replacement beacon to be sited at the airport. This one was then decommissioned, and the equipment removed. Pete is hoping that Tasman District Council or Nelson Airport might consider putting up some signage about the building’s history. Photo: Pete Laing, right, with wife Sheryl and Teresa Jones.

Sad end to club

18th - 31st December 2017

Andrew Board After years of financial woes and declining membership, the Nelson Suburban Club has announced that it will close its doors for good at the end of this month. New club president Pam Coltman wrote to members to announce the decision last week. “Sadly, with a heavy heart and on behalf of the board, I now have to advise you that the club has no option but to close the doors on this venue from 31 December 2017. Unfortunately, due to the downturn in the number of people visiting the club, we are no longer able to continue to trade in this place.” Ten staff will lose their jobs in the closure. In recent years the club battled to pay off a $2.7 million debt from an ambitious expansion in 2005. In 2014 it asked members to treble its membership fee to help keep the club afloat. Its Tahunanui Drive buildings and land were bought by Gibbons Property mid-last year. “At the Annual General Meeting of the club I stated how excited I was at the upcoming changes to the club premises that were to take place in 2018,” says Pam. She says that some club members are keen to continue in another venue which is something she will investigate in the New Year. Club manager Chrissy Taylor stressed that all activities planned for the rest of this month will go ahead as planned, including a big 1969-themed New Year’s Eve bash. “We want to go out with a big bang,” she says.

A traditional destination Judene Edgar Reporter

It’s all about history at this year’s Wakefield Community Craft Fair on January 2, as three local traditions come together for the day. The Wakefield Community Craft Fair has been held on the second of January for 40 years, and this year they’re combining forces with the Higgins Heritage Park to raise funds for the historic Wakefield mural.

Organising committee member Paula Aldridge says that it’s a fantastic community day with a real focus on local art, crafts and food. “We have so much hidden talent that people don’t know about, so it’s our opportunity to showcase that talent,” says Paula. “There’s always a great community vibe and it’s a great family outing.” Helping make Wakefield the destination of choice, Higgins Heritage Park are also running an open day to help raise funds for the Wakefield mural. “We’ve run special ‘on steam’ days to

The historic mural on the

Wakefield pharmacy building is undergoing a major facelift, thanks to artist Pete Madsen, and the efforts of the Wakefield mural group. The group are needing to raise $15,000 to complete the restoration and provide description panels. “A lot of people don’t realise why we have the train on the mural or the significance of the Baigent family, so the description panels are a muchneeded addition,” says group member Evie South.

Evie says that the community has been incredibly generous and is delighted that the craft fair and Higgins Heritage Park are joining forces to raise funds for the project. The Wakefield Community Craft Fair is on Tuesday, January 2, at the Village Green and Hall from 9am to 2pm. The theme for the day is historic hats, so find or make an oldfashioned hat to wear on the day. Higgins Heritage Park will be open from 10am to 3pm.

Dog dies in parked car A dog left in a hot car has died, a death that Nelson SPCA manager Donna Walzl describes as “a devastating and horrible way to go”. “Unless you’re actually taking the dog somewhere for the day, like the river or the beach, don’t take them,” she says. Donna says that on a hot day the temperature inside your car can reach 39 degrees Celsius within 10 minutes. A dog left in a parked car can be dead within minutes as they don’t have the ability to cool themselves down. Dogs need cool air flow because their primary method of cooling down is by panting. As the weather heats up, the SPCA are already getting an increasing number of calls every day, and “it’s only going to get busier”. Wakefield resident and dog owner Cushla Moir was disturbed last week to see an “extremely hot and distressed” dog in a car in the Richmond Mall car park.

Cushla rang the SPCA, but as they were unable to respond quickly enough, on their advice she went to the Richmond Police Station. The vehicle had gone by the time they returned, but “who knows how long it had been there before I got there?” she says. Tasman animal control officer and former SPCA animal welfare inspector Craig Crowley says, “don’t take your dogs to town, full stop.” “You’re leaving them in a hothouse irrespective of whether you leave the windows down or not.” Craig’s comments were echoed by Richmond community constable Kyle Abbott and Richmond Mall manager Belinda de Clercq. Richmond Mall security keep an eye out for dogs and will contact the SPCA if they have concerns, but Belinda says, “car parks are not the place for dogs.” Town and Country Vets manager Annette McFadgen says she understands that there

may be some situations where it’s unavoidable to bring your pet to town, but says that people should “ask your vet clinic if you can leave it there for an hour or so”. Town and Country Vets have a cool area where their clients can leave their dogs and cats for a few hours “as long as we have room”. While most vet clinics run this service for their clients, she suggests ringing to see if they provide this service and if they have availability on the day. If people do have concerns about dogs left in cars, “people should ring the SPCA as the first port of call as they have the power to break into vehicles,” says Craig. Donna says that the SPCA work closely with animal control and the police to identify the owner of the vehicle and rescue the dog if necessary. SPCA Nelson is available Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm on 547 7171. Animal Welfare after hours emergency number phone 027 436 9243.

Just a thought... Merrick Mitchell Lay Pastoral Leader, Richmond Catholic Church These last days before Christmas can be full-on for many of us. For Christians, it is a time of preparation when we remember what it is that we celebrate at Christmas. Coming at the end of the year in the Southern Hemisphere, we also have an opportunity to review our year before the languid days of summer kick in. Although it seems that summer has already kicked in around here! We call this time of year Advent, meaning “coming”. It is a time of waiting for the birth, the “coming”, of Christ as a baby. This anticipation helps us prepare for the wonder and miracle of Christmas which follows. We

believe that Christmas is when God becomes one like us, one of us, both human and God. It is easy to get caught up in deep theological and philosophical insights. But keeping it simple, God shows himself in a way that we can easily understand, in the person and life of Jesus Christ. In the rhyme, “Jesus is the reason for the season”. He is the “Christ” as the base of the word “Christmas”. It is also easy to get caught up in the swing of things and let ourselves be swept along by well-meaning but misplaced ideas of what makes a perfect Christmas. We can get involved in a rush of Santa Parades, workplace end-of-year parties, school and college awards ceremonies, and so on. This is great, nothing wrong with this. Let’s get involved,

cheerfully, willingly, and not be Scrooges or miseries begrudging people some enjoyment in life. Actually, that is what Jesus wants us to do too, to live our life to the full (Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 10). We are encouraged to live with hope and love, to be kind and generous to all. As we approach Christmas, let’s review the past year, see what we did well and maybe what we would like to work on. Perhaps we could make some room for prayer and stillness, to speak to God - and to listen more than we speak! Perhaps we could be grateful and generous, and open our hearts to the needs of others by giving or working for a charity. Because all that we have is gift from God. The love of God shown as Jesus Christ is always with us.

Brightwater School farewells Dobbie Friday marked the end of an era for Brightwater School’s Alan Dobson, who has retired after taking his first steps towards a career in teaching more than 40 years ago. In fact, the teacher and deputy principal, affectionately known as Dobbie, first started teaching when he was just 11-years-old, at his sole-charge school in Paerau, in the Maniototo. “I was the only student in my class. There were 14 students in the whole school, so I would do my work in the morning and most afternoons I would teach the new entrants,” says Dobbie. Leaving Paerau, Dobbie boarded at Waitaki Boys College, before studying for three years at teacher’s college in Dunedin. His first placement as a certified teacher was in 1974 in Greymouth at Karoro School. In 1975 he moved up to Nelson and taught at Clifton Terrace School, then in 1977 became a teacher at Dovedale School, followed by Ranzau in 1978 and in 1989 he spent a term as acting principal at Mahana School. In 1992 he took up a teaching role at Waimea Intermediate before moving to Brightwater in 1998, where he has remained for the last 20 years. “I can tell you the name of every

kid that I’ve taught from Karoro School in 1974 until today, there were exactly 1272 of them,” says Dobbie. A notebook contains every child’s name, from every class that he has taught over the years. The book has also been filled with the successes of his past students, although not everyone has had the opportunity to achieve their potential and it is always sad to receive news that a former pupil has passed away. As a young teacher, Dobbie says his two great mentors were the late Brian Duffy, who was principal at both Hope and Ranzau Schools, as well as the late John Goodman, who had been deputy principal at Clifton Terrace. “I learnt from Brian that children are the heart of learning,” says Dobbie. “It’s about building relationships and I always believe that if you can build that relationship with a child, then you can teach them. I also admired John’s management skills, his passion for sport and his teaching philosophy, it was again, all about the kids.” After more than 40 years, Dobbie has developed his own philosophy which is centred around being caring, compassionate, enthusiastic and always challenging

due to the technology that’s available. One of his major frustrations with modern day teaching, though, is compliance and the time-consuming paperwork that goes with it. “I used to take the kids around to Appleby School in the Hillman Hunter, or we’d do a farm visit before school, but now, with health and safety, you just can’t do it,” says Dobbie, who still has his Hillman Hunter after purchasing it in 1975. As well as his passion for teaching, Dobbie is well-known for his love of sport and shearing. He’s coached Miniball for the last 20 years and since coming to Nelson in 1975, has shorn sheep each year, something he will be continuing into his retirement. He’s also enjoyed a career in rugby, starting out at the age of five for the Maniototo Midgets, right through to All Black trials in 1981. As a parting gift to the school, Dobbie presented a new set of rugby goal posts and a trophy for the Waimea Plains tackle sevens tournament. On Thursday evening, during Brightwater Schools end-of-year gathering and hangi, staff and students took the opportunity to thank Dobbie for his dedication to the job and wished him well in retirement.

Allie Gutschlag has taught, listened to, played with and hugged hundreds of children at First Years Richmond preschool, but after 16 years the centre’s longest serving staff member was bid an emotional farewell. “Allie has made an enormous contribution over the past 16 years,” says manager Karina Tutty. “She bumps into children she looked after 16 years ago, and they still greet her with hugs.” The preschool put together a ‘profile book’ for Allie chronicling her time at the centre, filled with farewell messages and cards from past and present parents, staff and children, and happy photos with the children as well as a few of staff outings and antics. Allie has completed hundreds of profile books over the years. Each child at First Years has a profile book and every month there is an update story or photograph showing what the child has been learning and exploring. “I’ve always known how treasured they were by parents, and now I have my own to treasure,” says Allie. After moving to Richmond

Bibby Barroso, left, and Juliet Duke bid a sad farewell to Allie Gutschlag, centre. Photo: Judene Edgar. from Westport in 2001, Allie started working as a reliever in the three to four-year-olds area. She was initially reluc-

tant to move to the under two-year-olds area, but Allie believes that the adage ‘people will forget what you’ve

said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel’, was the key. “With eight children and two staff it’s quite an intense relationship, and you need to build the bond with the parents just as much as the children,” she says. “My whole teaching philosophy is based on trust and relationships.” Because it’s an integrated centre, once the children are two they simply move to another area within the centre which means that she still gets to see them, and they still get to see her, in what was affectionately known as “Allie’s Room”. “I got to know each child as an individual - their character and their individuality are really important,” she says. “Children learn through play. If the children are happy and having fun, then they’re learning.” And Allie was certainly happy too. “The children always made me smile. I just went in and did what I loved.” But the final words must go to five-year-old Madison who drew a picture and wrote in Allie’s profile book, “I love you so much. I miss you so much. I love you hugging me.”

Rich history of school unveiled ing the history of the site from Maori usage through to its use as a school grounds. “As well as providing inspiration for the onsite memorials, through the process of doing the research we have developed a close relationship with the iwi,” says Nic. The information board was designed by Cutting Edge Designs and references the site’s history in three parts: Maori, settler and school. It details the site’s past as kumara gardens alongside an ancient pa, the settlement of Appleby by European immigrants, and the school’s establishment. “It’s an important resource, not only for the children and families of the school, but for the entire Appleby community and local iwi,” Nic says. “We hope it bonds all the

people from the past, present and future.” The unveiling of the plaque was combined with a Cultural Kai day at the school. “Our students and community have diverse cultural backgrounds and identify with many different parts of New Zealand and the world, so we saw this as an opportunity to celebrate diversity and relationship building,” Nic says. Students and their parents prepared a huge range of food, from samosa, sushi, crepes and Danish pastries through to fruits from the tropics and Kiwi icons like marmite and chip sandwiches. “There was a lot of delicious food,” Nic says. “We were pleased to see many children going outside their comfort zone and trying something new.”

Appleby School has completed its turangawaewae project with the unveiling of an information board about the rich history of the school site. Turangawaewae is a powerful Maori concept, literally meaning ‘a place to stand’. Appleby School stands on Ngati Kuia land and was returned to the iwi in 2015 as part of a Treaty of Waitangi settlement. A pakohe stone was laid in 2016 to symbolise the enduring connection between the school and iwi. “The pakohe stone was sourced by Appleby School tamariki and local kaumatua, and carved and polished by kaumatua,” says deputy principal Nic Walker. Since then, they have been busy sourcing information and photos from iwi, locals and historical texts, detail-

The Fifeshire Foundation has been providing relief to individuals and families in financial hardship and domestic crisis since 1993, and ran their sixth ‘The Big Give’ Christmas appeal this year. Christmas is a time when most families are enjoying festive celebrations, planning holidays and giving gifts. But for the individuals and families in our region who are facing hardship, this can be an extremely challenging and stressful time of year. “We want to make a difference to over 300 families facing hardship in the Nelson Tasman

White water wonder Most of the 250 plus competitors at the weekend’s Buller Festival were from out of town, but Nelson boy Tommy McDowell made sure he was up there with the best – taking out the C1 open men’s slalom. The Buller Festival is New Zealand’s premier white water event and attracted a large crowd of out-of-town competitors – including a former Olympian from the UK. The festival started off with the popular boater cross, an event which sees kayakers race together down the river. Over the course of the weekend there was also kayak and canoe slalom, rafter cross, SUP race and the classic cardboard cup, which involves making a vessel out of cardboard and tape and taking it down the river. The event is held every year and

showcases exactly why Murchison is known as the “four river plains”, with its top spots being used by hundreds of competitors over the weekend. Event spokesperson Sophia Mulder says this was no doubt the biggest weekend on the Murchison calendar, with plenty of money spent in

When Arthritis New Zealand needed a local volunteer to help promote its cause and raise some money, the man to put his hand up was a 94 year old World War 2 veteran. Maurice Abrahams is a legend in Nelson. He still plays in the Nelson Brass Band, has served as a Freemason for more than 70 years and volunteers for Arthritis NZ after developing two forms of arthritis.

This year the staff will be working in two shifts sorting through the donations and getting them ready for distribution. “It’s very generous of them,” says Rachel. “As well as helping us pack up, they’ve also donated $2000.” She says that while it’s still “a bit of a waiting game” while they get all the presents from under the Christmas trees, “we’ve already got presents out to 120 families, but I think we’ll be able to help over 300 families”.

While giving out hundreds of presents and food parcels might sound exciting, it’s also a lot of work, so the staff at Crombie Lockwood volunteered to help. “Every year the staff get to choose a community project to support,” says branch director Paul Mackay. “It’s our opportunity and our time to give back to the local community.” Previously the staff have

By Tim O’Connell While the rest of the South Island encountered rain, snow and pestilence it was typical Tasman sunshine at Kaiteriteri Beach on Sunday as hundreds descended on the shoreline for the Riwaka School Mid-Winter Festival. Bands, performances and the standard array of hot and tasty food made for a welcome way to spend a winter morning, while children were entertained by bouncy castles, mini jeeps and trains as well as a big dig for

prizes around the golden sands. The main attractions of the day were the mid-winter dip and the duck race, both of which drew plenty of entries from locals and out of towners keen to support Riwaka School. Fairies, bumblebees and superheroes were among the costumes on display as the swimmers gathered for the former. Jeanette Clark from Lower Moutere was found in pre-plunge contemplation of the icy fate that awaited her. “Everyone has their bucket list

of things to do, and this is one of mine,” she said. With the tide in for the 11am start of the dip there was a very short run from the shore to the ocean, leaving the hundred or so brave folk who entered little time to chicken out. Admirably, a handful managed to remain in the water for an extended period of time to milk the moment, although it should be noted that most of these people were female. For the rest however, the sequence of events once sub-

merged was akin to someone abruptly hitting the rewind button on a DVD. The duck race was a slightly more drawn out affair, yet attracted just as much interest as the earlier event, although it wasn’t long before the nature of inanimate object racing set in and a good portion of the entered ducks were soon bobbing listlessly in the lagoon, Speaking to the Guardian after an extremely successful day in the sun, Riwaka School Principal Fraser Campbell was ecstatic

with the public response to the event. “There was just a real good buzz around the place and a real connection between the community and school,” he said. Showing leadership and immense fortitude, Mr Campbell took to the water for the dip along with Deputy Principal Katherine Sefton, a feat which he says was “better than coffee”. The Mid-Winter Festival raised close to $9000 for the school, a total which is believed to be up on previous years.

Club Waimea has shown what a little team work can do, banding together to raise money so that fellow member, Gary Brown, can purchase new Christmas decorations for his house.

The Brown Bear Story Once upon a time there was a little round fella, affectionately known as Brown Bear, (amongst other things). Brown Bear, as he always does, decorated his property with an amazing array of Christmas lights. Then one night, along came a band of horrible people who raided his property, stripping it of all decorations. Brown Bear and his family were shocked. But then his fellow members at Club Waimea banded together one Thursday night, putting their hands into their pockets to help raise $500 to re-decorate the property. Mr and Mrs Brown Bear were blown away by this generosity, what great mates. The writer of this item, Fly, wants to thank and congratulate all involved, it was a supreme thing to do. Cheers Brown Bear

I can’t believe that this year is just about over. It feels like we just got under way but then again, when you look back at some of the things that have happened over the past twelve months, it puts it all into perspective. With the members support, we have been able to upgrade four more gaming machines, put in new 55-inch televisions with high definition capability, replace 200 chairs in the hall and conference rooms and upgrade the caravan park roads – the sealing of these will be a high priority early next year. We have had some great times with our Saturday night entertainment, the introduction of fortnightly Friday night bands, Sunday afternoon Jazz through the winter months, St Patrick’s Day, the mid-winter Christmas, and then with the advent of our special events committee, a very successful cabaret evening and great Melbourne Cup Day. This all augers well for the coming year. I just want to thank everyone who has assisted in the organisation of these events, and thank all of you, our members, for your support, fun, and laughter. On that note, I want to wish you all a merry Christmas. I look forward to catching up over the festive season and together let’s introduce a very happy, prosperous and enjoyable New Year.

Christmas and New Year Trading Hours Club Waimea will be open on Christmas Day for a private function, no off sales will be available. The club will be open every day from Boxing day onwards, from 11am until late. December 26 is also a big race day so get your betting syndicate together. New Year’s Eve will see the club open from 11am until late, featuring live music, variety show style. It’s another big race day on New Year’s Day, as well as being the president’s shout. President Lewis Della Bosca will be shouting the drinks from 3pm until 4pm, with the club putting on a barbeque.

Two Richmond ladies were the Queens of Denarau recently, winning the Denarau Women’s Golf Classic on the Fijian resort island. Sue Taylor and Sally Ussher, both members of the Greenacres Golf Club, took out the Overall Title from a field of

112 players from New Zealand, Australia and Fiji. They finished three shots clear of the field with a consistent and confident performance over three rounds in blistering heat in what was their first ever attempt at the tournament. The pair were presented with

their trophy at a gala dinner held at the Westin Hotel in Denarau. The pair were also able to entice several players to attend the inaugural three day Richmond Unlimited three day Women’s Tournament to be held at Greenacres Golf Club in October 2018.

Winstanley runner up at Stock Car GP Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Roydon Winstanley nursed a flat tyre in the final race of the New Zealand Stock Car Grand Prix to claim second at the prestigious event. Roydon finished third in his qualifying group to make the 30-car championship field at Stratford Speedway in Taranaki. A second in the opening race got the Nelson lad off on the right foot. That was followed by a seventh in the second, leaving him tied in

1st place going into the last race. But midway through the race he picked up a flat tyre trying to avoid some block cars, ending his charge up the field. The 20-year-old has been racing out of the Palmerston North Speedway club over the past few seasons, commuting from his Nelson home. He says he is lucky to have good support in Palmerston, plus the flexibility from his sponsor and employers at Donaldson Civil in Nelson. Roydon started racing stock

cars out of Nelson Speedway, and did some teams racing for the Tasman Thunder, but it was the individual titles that were his priority. The decision was made to head up north to race in bigger fields against the best drivers in the country. He recently finished third at the Robin Pratt Memorial, winning the final heat. Roydon's car is back in Nelson over Christmas to get a bit of a tidy up after a couple of months of racing. He says his next target is the Under 23 title at Stratford in early March.

SportS FOOTBALL Tasman United lost 3-1 to Auckland City in the latest round of the ISPS Handa Premiership on Sunday. Tasman went 1-0 up but couldn't hold off a classy Auckland side which had just returned from competing at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. Tasman are now seventh on the table out of ten teams and next play Canterbury on January 7 in Nelson. CRICKET Nelson Pine Griffins suffered a heavy loss in its first Hawke Cup game of the season. Batting first, Nelson scored just 179 before Canterbury Country cruised past that to gain a 77 run lead at the half-way mark of the game. In its second innings, Nelson couldn't improve on its first effort, all out for 171, leaving the hosts just 96 runs to win the game, which they did with the loss of five wickets. Top scorer for Nelson was skipper Willem Ludick who finished with 84 in his side's second innings.

Heath keen to be King of the Port at street races Andrew Board Journalist

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The streets of Port Nelson are a second home to Nelson man Heath Botica, he owns a business at the port and has raced in the Port Nelson Street Races for 15 years. But he's never been "King of the Port" and that's something he'd like to change. "I've won some of the classes here before. But I haven't won a superbike class, I think I've had a few seconds. I would really like to win the formula 1 or the King of the

Port race because I've never done that." Heath started his riding career on dirt bikes but has now competed in all but one of the country's street races and has collected the Burt Monroe Memorial Trophy and Pike River Memorial Trophy over the years. He says this year he's been in good form. "I had a really good year in the Bears Winter series, I entered in four classes and I ended up winning three and finished third in another. That's a six round series in Ruapuna."

So winning a major class in Nelson would cap off a big year for Heath, who says street racing seems to suit his style. "I suppose it's a wee bit closer to racing on the dirt, it's a little bit more intense and it seems to suit my riding style. I seem to go a little better on the street circuits than I do on the big circuits." He says the home crowd also plays a big part. "You notice the crowd when you pull up to the start grid and everyone is really close. "It is cool, especially on the start line, there are so many

Smirnoff, Gordon’s, Dewar’s White, Black Heart 1 Litre, Jose Cuervo Gold/Silver 700ml or Pimm’s 750ml

people leaning over the fences and waving at you and everyone really gets a thrill out of it." He says the major reason he keeps competing is the speed. "I think the speed does get you. Doing 260km/hour on the big bikes is a thrill. The speed is a thrill." The 2018 Port Nelson Street Races are being held on January 2. Entry is at the gate on the day and is $15 for adults and $5 for children under 14. Full details are at www.nelsonportraces.co.nz

One of the biggest hurdles to overcome when getting started kayaking is how to transport your kayak (or kayaks). The good news is that there are plenty of ways to safely get your kayak to the water. The most common method is to fit a roof rack to your car which enables you to carry your kayak on the roof. Some styles of kayaks will require a kayak carrier that cradles your kayak and prevents your kayak getting damaged when strapped down. What if I want to carry more than one kayak? Some roof bars will be wide enough that you can sit two kayaks side by side. If this won’t work, a kayak carrier that supports your kayak on the edge may be the best option. This will usually allow you to carry other items on the roof rack, such as a roof box, a bike or a paddleboard. If the thought of having to lift a kayak onto the roof of your car puts you off, then don’t worry as there are plenty of products available to make this much easier. Talk to us and we can show you a few accessories that will enable you to lift your kayak to your roof without having to lift the full weight of your kayak all at once. If you still don’t like the thought of a roof rack then a trailer is another option. A trailer is usually easier to load your kayak onto as you don’t have to lift your kayak as high. Trailers can also be set up to easily carry several kayaks. The main downside to trailers can be finding a carpark. There are numerous roof rack and kayak accessory options available and we have all the leading brands of roof rack in store. We offer plenty of advice on the suitability of each roof rack option for your vehicle to make sure you get the right roof rack and accessories for your vehicle. Our service doesn’t stop there. We will fit your roof rack to your car, show you how to load your kayak and ensure you can strap it on securely. We are your one-stop shop for all your kayaking needs.

Water restrictions in force Water restrictions are in effect for urban and rural communities of the Waimea Plains. Residents of Best Island, Richmond, Ruby Bay, Mapua, Hope, Brightwater, Wakefield, Waimea and Redwood Valley are restricted to handheld watering of productive gardens on alternate days (water on even calendar days if you have an even house number and odd calendar days for an odd house number). Please be careful with your water use and restrict any unnecessary use. It has been an extremely dry start to summer with no significant rain in sight. Restrictions on consented water takes are also in place. Details of current rationing can be found at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/water-restrictions.

The Skatepark Tour is back – it’s a chance for young people to show off their skate, BMX and scootering skills and compete against other contestants. Eight competitions are scheduled across the Nelson Tasman region from 6 January 2018, with more than $5,000 of prizes on offer. Competitors span three age groups – junior (5–11 years), senior (12–17 years), and open (18+ years). Sport Tasman have come on board again to run the events this year and their support, along with that of our generous sponsors Cheapskates, Village Cycles and Skydive Abel Tasman, means the tour remains a free community event. Alcohol-free event. Entries are taken on the day. Helmets are compulsory for all competitors. Visit www.tyc.co.nz to see the programme.

Road resealing work begins Our annual road resealing programme is underway to ensure a safe and properly maintained road network. Work begins on roads in Richmond, followed by Brightwater and Wakefield, before breaking for the holiday period. Work will then resume in January, beginning in Murchison, followed by Waimea, Golden Bay, Riwaka and Tapawera. All the resealing is expected to be complete by the end of February. We try to minimise inconvenience for residents where possible, and respectfully ask everyone to be patient and follow any directions from the contractors on site. Please note that on-road parking will be restricted on work sites and there will be temporary limited access to property for pedestrians and vehicles during the construction. This is to allow full access for the construction machinery and allow the job to be completed as quickly as possible.

Camping numbers limited at McKee Memorial Recreation Reserve Pressure on some of our infrastructure at the McKee Memorial Recreation Reserve means we need to limit the number of campers at the site this summer. Most of the reserve is still open for camping, however please be aware we may need to turn campers away if the site gets too full and there will be a small area that is not available for camping. The sewage system at the reserve comes under pressure during heavy rain, so in the event of stormy weather please be aware the dump station could be closed at short notice. Alternative dump stations can be found at Hickmott Carpark, Motueka, and Fittal St, Richmond. The toilets may also need to be closed for short periods of time after rain. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank campers for their patience while we work on a long-term fix.

Maritime Events Date: 31 December 2017 and 1 January 2018 Location: Kaiteriteri Activity: Fireworks More information, including details of special directions and authorisations made by the Harbourmaster for this and other events, is available at www.tasman.govt.nz/boating.

Stay safe on the water It’s going to be a great summer for heading out on the water. Harbourmaster Dan Cairney will be out and about offering advice and help to anyone who needs it – stay safe and enjoy yourselves. As well as arming yourself with information about the rules of the sea, it’s a really good idea to take heed of local knowledge about the area you’re heading into. You can find a wealth of advice and information on our website – head to www.tasman.govt.nz/ boating.

The Bylaw came into effect on Monday 18th December 2017 and changes the way in which freedom camping is restricted and permitted in the Tasman District. A consultation period was run from 16 June 2017 to 11 August 2017 and resulted in 383 submissions. Three Hearings were held in Takaka, Motueka and Wakefield and approximately 70 submitters heard. A panel of four Councillors made recommendations on the content of the new Bylaw to full Council and the proposal was adopted with minor amendments. The Bylaw has general information relating to the conduct expected by freedom campers and methods available to Council for appropriate control of the activity. It also has three Schedules which indicate areas which are defined as: • Prohibited for all forms of Camping, • Restricted to certain types of vehicle, • Permitted for all camping with some specific restrictions. Vehicles displaying an appropriate warrant of self-containment can camp in most public places in the District providing they are not prohibited by the Bylaw or other enactments e.g. the Reserves Act or the Land Transport Act. Availability: Hard copies of the Bylaw are available for viewing at all Council Offices and on the council website at: www.tasman. govt.nz Previous Bylaws: The following Bylaws are revoked with effect from 18 December 2017: The Tasman District Council Freedom Camping Bylaw 2011(amended December 2013) and, The Tasman District Council Freedom Camping(Motueka Beach Reserve) Bylaw 2013

There will be no inspection services from 22 December 2017 until 4 January 2018. This allows our inspectors to complete all necessary paperwork. If your inspection is booked for 4 January the inspector will contact you the day prior to confirm a time.
