James Bond saves the day in Mot Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Before the latest James Bond movie hit the silver screen in Motueka, management was seriously considering closing the doors for good. “James Bond saved us,” Motueka State Cinema owner Mark Went-

worth says. He says it had got to the stage he was just looking at operations day-by-day and whether they could continue trading. But the opening of the latest 007 flick, ‘No Time to Die’ has seen hundreds of people stream through its doors over the last two weeks. Mark says that movies that appeal to seniors and families are essen-

tial to the cinema staying open and, for a long time, the movies he was receiving weren’t working for either of those groups. “We are a retirement town so senior films are needed during the day and family movies at the weekend and children’s movies for the holidays.” It wasn’t just the lack of films that made things difficult. Mark says

there was much less advertising for films which meant less hype, so the public didn’t know what was available. Along with James Bond, the two children’s movies they had showing over the holidays, The Boss Baby and Paw Patrol, saw more seats filled. The wet weather helped too. With just one screen and 95 seats,

the theatre couldn’t sustain having movies that only had two people turn up. Mark says they are reliant on a cross section of product to meet the different needs of the community. The recent upturn means Mark is hoping they will be able to stay open until Christmas and if things continue to improve, permanently.

Speedway roars into action The Nelson Speedway season roared back into action on Saturday with an injection of speed, adrenaline and even covid vaccine on offer for local petrolheads. The opening meeting had the Trackman Trophies up for grabs for each grade. A healthy contingent of young drivers filled the youth grades, providing plenty of competition over the night. The event acted as the first major sporting event held in Tasman since Covid Alert Level 2 kicked in a month ago. See page 29. Bradley Evans takes a lap of the track on Saturday night.

Murchison man deals bad hand Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A Murchison man’s plans to sell $625 in stolen trading cards was foiled by a knowledgeable salesperson. Allan Maxton Donnithorne, 54, pleaded guilty to charges of receiving stolen property in Nelson District Court on Monday, after attempting to sell $625 worth of cards from the game ‘Flesh and Blood’. According to the police summary of facts, between 7 May and 2 June 2021, Donnithorne attempted to sell the cards at a card merchant store in Nelson. The victim had had her house broken into where her ‘Flesh of Blood’ cards were stolen on 7 May 2021.

recognised the stolen cards. The salesperson seized the cards

before returning them to the victim.

‘Flesh and Blood’ is a trading card game set in a fantastical world where cards are bought and traded between players. When questioned by police about the stolen property, Donnithorne claimed his grandson had found the cards at his school. He thought he could sell the cards to buy a PlayStation 4 game. Defence lawyer Ian Miller told the court Donnithorne was surprised to find out the cards’ true value. Donnithorne has faced previous dishonesty charges. However, Miller pointed out the latest in this line of offending was in the 1980s. Judge Stephen O’Driscoll first considered Donnithorne’s outstanding fines on separate matters before convicting him and ordering him to complete 60 hours of community work.

Health warning as horse de-wormer sells out Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A product used for de-worming horses is selling out at local animal product retailers with people believing it can be used to treat or prevent Covid-19. About a month before the region’s most recent Covid-19 lockdown, Saddlery Warehouse owner Suzanne Inglis noticed they were struggling to keep up with the demand for a horse deworming paste, which contains a product called ivermectin. “We’ve gone through a fourmonth supply in just a month,” she says. “It’s pretty much sold out around the country.” At that time, she didn’t realise the surge in sales had anything to do with Covid-19. “Someone told me that people were buying ivermectin to treat Covid, so I Googled it,” she says. “It’s actually a thing that people are doing.” Ivermectin has been championed by some vaccine opponents, however, no clear evidence has emerged of its efficacy in fighting Covid-19.

Bot to reach kids in need Sara Hollyman Editor

sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz

I Am Hope is the organisation leading Gumboot Friday. Its key purpose is to drive mental health advocacy and re-education and abolish the stigma surrounding mental health issues in New Zealand. It does this via a grass roots approach to be relatable to everybody in society.

Gumboot Friday 5 November 2021 The organisation provides free counselling to young New Zealanders (25 and under) in short timeframes, without humiliating diagnosis processes and lengthy wait times. 100 per cent of donations go to funding counselling sessions with the goal to reach $5 million to provide more than 37,000 counselling sessions annually. Gumboot Friday recently launched its online service, with the onset of Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns resulting in increasing pressures on young people. Usage of this service has gone through the roof since its inception, demonstrating further need for young people to access counsellors and a listening ear in times of increased isolation and incertainty. Organisation founder Mike King says Nelson is a special place to him. “The thing that really stands out for me is the strong sense of community I get to experience whenever I am down there. If one person is going through a hard time, the whole community treats it as their problem and comes together as a team to do something about it.” He says the same spirit has followed through to Gumboot Friday.

The creator of a bot that speaks to young people when they are feeling down is hoping that it will give those in need another avenue to get help. Anna Tranter came up with the concept of using a QR code to link to an auto bot which will chat with youth in times of isolation or depression. The bot, currently in a testing version, begins with messages such as: “First, I’d like to say that reaching out at this time is one of the hardest and bravest steps to take. Things can get tough, but there’s so much support available to help you get your life back. If it’s OK with you, can I ask how you’re feeling. 1 being tip top, 10 feeling pretty low.” Users then select an option that suits their mood best which prompts the message: “Being silent isn’t being strong. We all need to deal with this in our own way so tell me what suits you best?” “It just means that it’s distracting them from the thought of what’s put them there in the first place and helping them realise they can get help without having to feel embarrassed and even behind closed doors if they want to,” Anna says. She says the idea was sparked after watching a documentary on

Anna Tranter has developed a QR code linking to a bot to speak to youth when they are down and isolated. Photo: Sara Hollyman. Kevin Hines, a man who attempted suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge when he was just 19-years-old and survived. Anna says a comment he made that if just one person had stopped him as he was walking along the bridge crying and asked if he was ok, it probably would’ve stopped him from jumping. “That’s really what this started as, something that youth, or anyone really, can go to if they need someone to talk to right then.” The idea has now morphed from being a simple bot that can interact with you during a time of need, to becoming a hub for mental health resources.

“Often kids don’t even realise that it’s depression or anxiety that they are feeling, this could be something to link them in with what’s actually going on in their brains.” Anna has first-hand experience supporting people with depression, anxiety and bi-polar disorder. She says it’s a way of trying to get more help to people but in a simple way and hopes to eventually see it rolled out widely through schools, clubs and workplaces. The project has been three years in the making and she is now hoping to hand it over to the I Am Hope charity to develop it further. “It’s really a tool to open doors for people to find help and support.”

‘Reckless’ outdances the competition Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A local hip-hop troupe has taken out the top spot at this year’s Impact Dance Experience Nationals, beating out 15 groups from around the country. Between 7 to 9 October the ‘Reckless’ crew, aged 11 to 13, were in The Kapiti Coast dancing their way to winning the competition’s top spot. Reckless placed first overall, meaning they beat out 15 other groups of all genres in the junior age group including hip hop, jazz, ballet and contemporary from up and down the country. Dance coach Ashley Belk says she’s incredibly proud of the crew’s eight dancers and says it was their confidence that secured them the win. “We went in confident, so we set ourselves up well for

It was just exciting to know that we had planned for that win all along and for it all to come to a win is amazing.” The team danced to a medley put together and choreographed by Ashley, featuring Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’, some afro reggae and a 50 Cent remix. “At the end of the preliminaries on Friday night we were listening to the results

on livestream and found out we were coming first.” She says the ‘Born and Raised’ clan had banded together backstage with them to watch the livestream. The all-girl dance group had to perform again on the Saturday night against two other troupes to determine first, second and third place. Not only did Reckless win the overall top spot but two soloists and two duos from

the group also competed, with two of them getting second and third placings. The team were lucky to be able to compete in person, the troupe having faced their share of cancellations and postponements so far this year. The girls have been dancing together for a few years and were able to hit the stage with pride, having practiced their routine since January.

NEWS Walk With Us charity auction fundraiser postponed: The latest event to be postponed due to Covid-19 is the Walk With Us charity auction fundraiser. Due to take place at Waimea Old Boys Club on Tuesday 9 November, trustee Helen Ruston says it was too risky to go ahead with the rising numbers of Covid in the country, and the threat of being thrust into another lockdown last minute. “Organising an auction of this size has taken hours and hours of volunteers’ time, and we would hate for that time to have been in vain if alert levels change again.” The event has a provisional go-ahead date of April next year. “Although we will just have to wait and see where we are by then. We are all so disappointed, but we are not alone.” Tasman police helping with Auckland border control: Police officers from the Tasman district are being sent to Hamilton on a weekly basis to help at the Auckland-Waikato border control. Their role is to stop vehicles and check the passengers have the proper documentation to pass through. If not, police will ask the driver to turn around. The deployment lasts around eight days, after which the team fly back to Nelson, have a few days off, then return to their normal shifts. Acting Nelson Bays area commander Inspector Martin Tunley says every police district outside of Auckland has been asked to contribute staff and they are happy to do so.

Rotor blades ‘soundtrack’ of Reid family life As part of marking 100 years since the first plane was seen in Nelson skies, Waimea Weekly is talking to those in the region who have made aviation their life. This week Jenny Nicholson speaks with Bill Reid. Bill Reid says the sound of spinning rotor blades is the soundtrack of his family’s life. On November 11, it will have been 100 years since the first plane was seen in Nelson skies. And, for many of those years, the Reid family has had a member flying. Bill grew up on stories of his father John Reid flying fighter planes in WW2. He loves to fly, whether fixed wing planes or helicopters. Flying has provided Bill with a life of adventure with many highs and a few low moments. “Outside of marriage and having children, my best moment was the first flight in the plane I had taken 10 years to restore,” he says. With his father John having been a fighter pilot in World War Two, the restoration was a very personal project. The Avro Anson Mk 1 has been taken back to its original state as it was when used as a reconnaissance bomber in World War Two. The plane is the only one of its type left in the world. Bill now offers flights in the plane and, for those who have had a

Richmond

relative fly in the war, it can be a very moving experience. It wasn’t just Bill’s love of flying he received from his father, he also followed in his footsteps with taking on multiple helicopter rescue missions. “Some missions were difficult, knowing the person rescued probably wouldn’t survive,” he says. “But I remember one time I thought that, then about four months later the man I rescued knocked on the door at work to say thank you for saving him. That was pretty special.” Bill says that rescue pilots have a lot of pressure on them and that even if they are not comfortable with the weather it isn’t always possible to say no. “When things have turned desperate, when things are out of control, when a crash victim is too far away to access by road to make it to the hospital within the golden hour, I’ve done some silly things, but it was done out of duty.” He says in some situations it takes as much courage to say no to flying as it does to give it a go.

going down was one of the low points in his aviation career, but his skill and understanding of

helicopters meant he was back flying within a month. Bill was also partly responsible for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ filming at Mount Owen, adding Hollywood location scout to his varied resume. He knew the local terrain well, and when he heard they were looking for locations, Bill contacted film director Peter Jackson. That started a busy season of flying the film crew onto the site and back out each day. He has logged many hours flying passengers into the backcountry to fish or hunt including many celebrities. One person that Bill particularly enjoyed meeting was author Wilbur Smith whose books he had loved reading. But it was his son Toby that may have had the most interesting celebrity encounter. Toby was called to rescue actress Kate Winslet and her husband when they were hassled by paparazzi in Picton. He flew them to Pelorus for a swim before taking off toward their destination. Toby, a new dad at the time, blurted out, ‘You’ve got to see my new baby!’ Kate thought that was a good idea so they landed on the front lawn and Kate got to meet Ollie.

Dining adapts to pandemic Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Due to Covid-19 safety regulations, local businesses are adapting to new ways of operating to keep things running smoothly with minimal disruption to customers. The Stables Tavern and Restaurant in Richmond has introduced a new QR code ordering system, with customers able to scan a code on their table and order from a menu which appears on their phones. Owner Hania Stronach says it means they can maintain distance between staff and customers while also improving the accuracy of the order. “It’s still new for us. The younger customers seem to get it more than the older ones.” She says that even though she’s had to take on more staff to deal with the level of work the Covid-19 regulations have created, staff don’t always have the time to educate everyone on how to use the new system. “Customers can use one of our tablets to order on if they don’t have their own mobile phone, but if push

comes to shove, we’ll just order for them.” Wait staff still bring out the food, but the time spent in close proximity to each other is reduced. Hania says that a local hairdressers isn’t currently able to serve refreshments, so customers scanned the QR code while getting their hair cut and Stables staff would walk their coffee round to them. “It worked out really well as we could deliver that extra level of service for them while they were unable to provide it. It’s opened up another opportunity for us.” David Jordan, of The Point of Sale company which installs QR code systems, says customers tend to order more with a contactless menu. “People tend to buy more as optional extras pop up that they can add to their order, which may not always be offered by waiting staff, so it’s good for business in that sense too.” While the initiative is still in its infancy in Nelson Tasman, it may soon become a more familiar sight. “I’ve just quoted a second café in Nelson for a similar system, so hopefully more businesses will make the change,” David says.

30 years on from life-altering accident Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Luke Palmer sets off on his morning walks with his leg brace, crutch and friendly face, locals will often stop to say hello, but most wouldn’t know about the tragedy that took place 30 years ago where he defied doctors to not only walk again but survive. Luke was just nine years old when he was at a motocross event in Motueka with his 12-year-old brother Kerry and dad Gordon, on 20 October 1991. They were standing beside the track when an out-of-control motorcycle and its rider, flew into the spectators and hit him. The incident left him unconscious with a smashed skull and he spent the next five weeks unconscious in hospital. His mother Erica recalls the pained discussion with doctors to turn off his life support, but Luke kept breathing. “It was all very intense. It was lifechanging, in just one second our lives were turned upside down,” Erica says. The Palmers were also told he would likely not hear, talk or walk again, but he proved them wrong too. After his first three surgeries to reconstruct his skull, Luke

would have music playing. That was such a special night,” Erica recalls. Today, having lived in Richmond his whole life, Luke has become a well-known face in the community. His carer Cherie Little says waves and smiles are a daily occurrence from strangers when she’s with Luke. “When we were out the other day one person waved out their car and then another went past waving and I said, ‘Luke look, that’s for you too’,” Cherie says. Luke keeps busy with his daily walks, watching movies and fortnightly meetings with the local Brain Injury Trust support group, where he goes bowling or gets coffees together with people who can relate to him. Since finishing school in 2000, Luke has spent a fair bit of time at the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology studying multimedia, cooking and other life skills. He currently spends every Friday at NMIT learning about computers with between 10 to 20 others who have similar disabilities. He hopes to pick up his multimedia studies again next year as making movies has become one of his favourite hobbies. He is hoping for another Jimmy Barnes CD for Christmas.

She says the biggest fear in racing is hitting the concrete wall. She’s done that. But now she is taking on a different battle in the form of a rare form of skin cancer.

Her specialist started with ‘I’m very sorry’ and went on to tell her she had a rare form of melanoma, and the prognosis wasn’t good. “We cried. We were speechless at what we saw when they showed us the MRI result, I thought ‘this isn’t good.’” But she is determined to fight. Pam says others with similar diagnoses have beaten cancer and lived, and her one request to the doctors was that no-one tell her how long they think she has. “The mind is pretty powerful,” she says. “I have so much to live for.” Her grandson Ollie reminds her that she is the strongest woman he knows. Some days she doesn’t feel like that strong person. “Cancer requires a bit more from you every day, it can be all consuming when you are vomiting, you have no energy, and can’t get up because of the pain.” Pam says she has had to move the goal posts of how long it will take to get better, but that’s ok with her. She has a lot going for her, including her puppy Dolcie May. Pam says Peter is her rock and there is no doubt that her family is the biggest motivator behind her journey to get well. She also has a strong faith. Pam is looking to the future and being back in her car. In the meantime, she says she is thankful to her KanDu motorsport team for their support. “I couldn’t ask for anything more,” she says. “Except for the cancer to go.”

Just a thought... Jon Parkes Whakatu Presbyterian Church With the stresses and whatnot of the pandemic plus other things, there is one solitary life who makes sense of it all. Here is a poem by Candian pastor James Allen Francis. “He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in still another village, where he worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty. Then for three years he was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn’t go to college. He never travelled 200 miles from the place where he was born. He did none of these things one usually associates with greatness. He had no credentials but himself. He was only 33 when public opin-

ion turned against him. His friends ran away. He was turned over to his enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. When he was dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing, the only property he had on earth. When he was dead, he was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Twenty centuries have come and gone, and today he is the central figure of the human race, the leader of humankind progress. All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, all the royalty that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of humanity on earth as much as that One Solitary Life.” The local churches in our region teach and believe in this One Solitary Life. Why not visit one of them to find out more. God bless.

Waimea Dam looking for engineering interns Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A Waimea company is helping the country’s future engineers develop invaluable skills. Canterbury University Civil Engineering student Liz Osborn says that her internship with Waimea Water on the Waimea Community Dam construction was an invaluable experience that will help her along her career path. “They won’t be building another dam like this in New Zealand any time soon, so it was a unique internship experience,” Liz says. She spent three months working on the Waimea Dam project. She says she spent the first half of her internship working in the Waimea Water Ltd office, supporting dam engineering, looking at risk management and emergency planning. “There was a lot of stuff we had touched on in class at university, but by being an intern I got to understand what goes on behind the scenes in a project of this scale. “It helped me understand how important it is to keep the community informed, and I also learned about using risk management software.”

Liz Osborn says her internship was a unique experience and encourages others to apply. Inset: The Waimea Community Dam will provide a unique learning opportunity for an engineering student. Photos: Supplied. CEO for Waimea Water Ltd (WWL), Mike Scott, says the Waimea community dam is the first large dam to be built in New Zealand in more than 25 years. He says they are happy to be able to help develop the country’s future engineers.

“The scale and complexity of the dam provides an opportunity for engineering students to experience the large project, apply their university studies, and work and learn from our engineers, who have worked on other interesting and challenging projects from

Got some news? FUTURE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The first round of community engagement for the Nelson Tasman 2021 – 2051 Future Development Strategy (FDS) is into its final week, having started on 4 October. This round is being held remotely with information available online until 26 October. Our recent series of webinars allowed staff to provide an overview of the project and answer questions on some key issues. A recording of a webinar and all the questions and answers to date are available on our website. However, there is still plenty of opportunity for anyone to provide comments, feedback or suggest strategic sites for future housing and business development in our region. The FDS does not rezone the land but identifies strategic locations to accommodate growth demands over the next 30 years. Any site suggestions will be considered in the preparation of the new FDS, a joint project between Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council. It will replace the adopted FDS of July 2019. The project will be completed in July 2022. More information, including how to provide feedback, can be found at tasman.govt.nz/fds. Alternatively, you can email futuredevelopmentstrategy@tasman.govt.nz.

around the country and overseas.” The second half of Liz’s time was spent on-site, working with another site engineer doing daily reporting on construction progress. She says this gave her a unique understanding of how all the

parts of the construction fitted together. “This was a very valuable experience, to see the construction process in action from the ground up. It made what we learn in class really real.” She says the team at Waimea Water were supportive and keen to get her involved. “I learned a lot that way. It was interesting to hear where they had been and what they had worked on before this project too. Liz says the experience will definitely influence her career. “I am doing water engineering as a graduate and this will really help me along that path. I am interested in dam engineering, so this was a great fit for me.” She says she highly recommends the internship opportunity for civil engineers, as this scale of project “doesn’t come along very often”. Waimea Water is currently looking for an engineering intern for the summer of November 2021 to February 2022. The role would suit an engineering student heading into their final year, who is interested in dams or big infrastructure. For those interested, contact Waimea Water on info@waimea water.nz.

Super Saturday lifts region’s standing Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Super Saturday saw 3,200 vaccinations given in the Top of the South. More than half the vaccines given in the Nelson Marlborough DHB were second doses. This lifts the total of those fully vaccinated to 70 per cent, placing the NMDHB second just behind the Auckland Metro DHB. While this is above the national average of 65 per cent, first doses are sitting at 83 per cent, compared to the national average of 85 per cent. In Marlborough 90 per cent of their population have had their first vaccine. Nelson Tasman still require 8328 more people to be vaccinated to reach that threshold. Super Saturday saw vaccination events held across the region with kai, coffee and entertainment to drive vaccination rates. Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says it was great to see so many vaccination events throughout the region. “My thanks to everyone who chose to get their vaccine on Super Saturday. A special thank you to everyone involved, including our health staff, local businesses, community organisations and everyone else who was involved in running these events.”

iner). The fire was kept below in a smouldering state for two days by the crew battening down the hatchways. Likely during these two days, the passengers were advised they would likely have to abandon ship, and the Challies tied the sovereigns they had brought with them into their clothing. After two days the ship was abandoned, and the passengers and crew taken on board by the brig Ellen. No lives were lost, but every possession, aside from what could be carried, was destroyed with the Mahomed Shah, including all the farm implements and the Challies’ new house. The passengers were taken to Hobart, where generous donors raised £56 to enable the Challies

Henry Challies and his wife Sarah intended to join Henry’s brother Edward in Nelson when they left with their baby from London in January 1853. Edward Challies had been farming in Appleby for several years, and had requested that Henry bring some farm implements from the motherland. It is believed that Henry and Sarah were also bringing out a prefabricated house for their first home in New Zealand, stowed in the cargo hold of the Mahomed Shah. The ship was off Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia when a fire broke out in the lower hold (the cause cited as ‘spontaneous combustion’ by the Nelson Exam-

Henry Challies as an older man. and several others to continue their journey to New Zealand. Once in Appleby and reunited with his brother, Henry built a rough shelter of mānuka in place of their lost prefab house.

Sarah would later tell their children of how, as they lay in bed at night, they could see the stars through the roof. They cooked on a camp oven and washed in a nearby stream, as Henry then set about building a cob cottage using clay from the banks of the stream. He thatched the roof with rushes. Henry and Edward worked on neighbouring farms, as the sovereigns saved by Henry and Sarah from the Mahomed Shah were not enough to replace all the implements that had been lost at sea. Three years later, Henry bought 150 acres of land for £200. As the sea made up some of its boundary, the property was called ‘Land’s End’. The neighbouring Māori who

lived further along the stream from the Challies would come to visit Sarah’s babies (she eventually had 11). They would exclaim over the babies’ white skin and apparently loved Sarah’s bread. She sent them home with a loaf after every visit. Later, Henry and Sarah purchased the property known as ‘Enstone’. The home on the property was also a prefabricated house brought out from England. After a disastrous year growing wheat, Henry sowed barley and saved the family from bankruptcy. He and his sons bought a traction engine and a thresher, and became contractors in the area for many years.

Rainbow Ski Area mountain manager Tom Harry says another season is done and dusted and considering the challenges, it was a great one. Between lockdown and rain, the field was only open for 45 days, down on most years. Lockdown caused 21 days closure, with weather causing another 17, seven because the road was washed away at the start of the season. “The highlights for me were an epic crew, beautiful sunny days and being able to share the slopes with our community,” Tom says. He wants to thank all the people of Nelson Tasman and Marlborough who supported Rainbow this year. Photo: Jenny Nicholson.

Brightwater’s James Fraser took out the top prize in a recent competition run by Whenua Iti, winning a spot on one of their holiday programmes. Nature connection programmes run this year by Whenua Iti have connected almost 1000 children with outdoor experiences that they hope will develop a love of nature that will support their learning, wellbeing, and sense of belonging. The programme run in local primary schools has children spend the day completing activities that are fun, encourage teamwork and build confidence.

Nelson Bays Harmony – a versatile lot When plunged into Level 4 lockdown, Nelson Bays Harmony Chorus were not despondent for long. Recalling how well they coped last time, they moved into Covid mode and simply changed down a gear or two. Usually they meet each Thursday, in the hall at Club Waimea, but Plan B, or should it be C for Covid, was to live-stream on Facebook for half an hour, followed by a Zoom session. Almost everyone ‘attended’ and although Facebook sessions were short, they watched Hilary Clifton showing them the moves to a new song they are learning, Haere Mai. As one member commented, one of the positives of this style of learning is that no one can see how well you are doing, or whether in fact you are sitting in front of the screen with a cup of tea wearing your slippers. Then the group moved on to their Zoom rehearsal. As the choir is in the process of seeking a new musical director (Kathy Jamieson is standing down after successfully guiding them for six years), this part of the evening was led by Eileen Smith

and Ruth Townsend, with Kathy providing technical assistance. Zoom sessions for choirs are tricky, as only one person can talk (or sing) at a time, so all participants have to be ‘muted’ and they listen to a recording of whichever song they are working on. As you can imagine, remembering to mute or unmute and having to put your hand up to have a turn to speak cause much merriment and add to the fun of having to ‘gather’ in this way. However, all this changed three weeks ago when we moved to Level Two. The choir can now meet in Club Waimea again but is following the government’s and also NZ Choral Federation’s guidelines which includes advice from epidemiologist, Professor Michael Baker. To keep singers safe, they must stand two meters apart (Club Waimea has marked the floor) and wear masks. As you can imagine, singing with masks on is not easy. But again, this adds an element of fun, and members know their leaders will not be expecting too much from them. Special singer’s masks

Nelson Bays Harmony Chorus usually have weekly practice sessions at Club Waimea each Thursday, so the members were pleased to be able to attend rehearsals again in alert level two. To keep singers safe, they are required to stand two meters apart and wear masks.

Nelson Bays Harmony was lucky to achieve so much earlier this year when they won the ‘audience choice’ award at the National Sweet Adelines Convention in Christchurch – and were also able to work with Jessie Leov in the creation and performance of a wonderful choral piece named ‘Call of the Ocean.’ The international premiere was performed at the NCMA auditorium and earned high ac-

claim. We should also mention another new experience for the choir; you may have seen them on the rugby field in August, opening the match Mako vs Auckland. They are a versatile lot! The choir’s current campaign, as mentioned, is to find a replacement for their now exdirector, Kathy Jamieson, who is enjoying singing as part of the group. So, if you have a passion for a cappella singing, ability in choral directing, and have leadership experience, then Nelson Bays Harmony would like to hear from you: nelsonharmony.org.nz.

Joining forces for wingfoil popularity Jonty Dine The summer season set sail for Nelson water sports on the weekend with an exciting future on the horizon. The Nelson Yacht Club and Nelson Watersports has come together to create Wingfoil Nelson, bringing sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding and wingfoiling under one umbrella. With Tim Fraser-Harris employed as club manager and the same team of passionate water sports coaches and instructors, the club is looking forward to the summer season with some exciting new initiatives, chief among them the growth in popularity of wingfoiling. Tim says this new sailing sport is taking the world by storm and this summer interest is expected to surge.

Wingfoiling has seen a surge in popularity both in Nelson and around the world. Photo: Supplied.

“You may well have seen people on the water in front of the club or at Tāhunanui Back Beach flying around on foils holding a

‘wing’ in their hands,” he says. Through Wingfoil Nelson, Nelson Yacht Club aims to be a home for the wingfoiling community in

the region. The club is also looking to encourage local women to get out on the water.

Following on from a successful women and girls sailing festival, the club is turning Monday evenings into regular ‘Wāhine on Water’ sessions, with female only Learn to Sail and Learn to Windsurf courses, and a supervised sailing. Sailing activity takes place seven days a week through the summer, with learn to sail and training programmes, college team sailing, sailability, as well as weekly club racing. “We’ve seen particularly strong interest over the winter for our adult learn to sail programmes so we’re looking forward to a busy season.” The club kicked off the season on Saturday with the annual ‘Round the Island Race’ for the Glasgow Picture after the official opening of the season by the club’s Patron Kim Harris.

Sports Awards nominations close today Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It’s been another tough year for Nelson Tasman athletes but, despite the disruptions and uncertainties, our sports stars still produced plenty of memorable moments. Their achievements will be celebrated in the annual ASB Nelson Sports Awards, which will be presented on Friday 3 December. For the first time in its 62-year history, the awards were cancelled in 2020 and will be a virtual event in 2021. Sport Tasman’s spaces and places

general manager Tony Thomas says it was a difficult decision but ultimately an easy one to hold an online event. “We have decided with all the uncertainty around Covid and parameters changing almost weekly, that the safest way is to do a virtual presentation.” Tony says with so much sport cancelled over the past 12 months, nominations have been a bit lower than usual though there are still plenty of athletes deserving of recognition. The ultimate accolade of the evening is the ASB Sportsperson of the Year who is determined to be the overall winner from the winners of the eight categories.

These include senior and junior sportsman, sportswoman, team of the year, as well as master and coach of the year. “The main purpose is to highlight some local sports people, their performances and what they’ve done for sport in the past 12 months.” Tony says ASB has again been very generous in its eighth year sponsoring the awards. With past winners such as world champion lawn bowler Jo Edwards and multisport legend Nathan Fa’avae, the Sportsperson of the Year award carries plenty of prestige. “These are icons of Nelson sport who have won in the past, as to it will be this year who knows?”

Waimea ballers dominate again Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It was an all-Nelson Tasman final at the Christchurch senior College Park basketball invitational last week as Waimea and Nayland Colleges squared off in the development grade final. With Giants’ legend Phill Jones at the coaching helm, Waimea dominated its opponents throughout the campaign, culminating in a 40-point victory in a one side final. To make the feat even more impressive, the team features not a single Year 13 player, with three having backed up from the junior invitationals the weekend prior. Head coach Phill admits that, while he is pleased with how his players performed, they were playing teams slightly beneath their skill level.

SpOrtS Harriers: Māpua turned on excellent running conditions, bringing out a record crowd of 100 runners for the last of the Waimea Harriers Sprig and Fern 10km Fun Run and Walk Events for this year. The race started and finished in the Māpua Reserve and participants enjoyed a variety of terrain including a circuit around Moreland Reserve, the beautiful coastal walkway, a section of Aranui Road and the Ruby Bay cycleway. Hayden Squance blitzed the field of runners, finishing in 34.46mins. Maryann

“I think going into the tournament we were a bit unsure what to expect.” Phill says his side did a good job of playing to a standard they are capable of and not dropping below their potential. “We won most games pretty comfortably by about 30 points. I think we needed to be in the top grade which would’ve been more competitive.” Should the core of the team stay together over the next couple of years, Phill says there is no telling how much they could achieve. Among the tournament standouts were skipper Jack James, Jonty Bond, Kaden Bracey, William Blithe, Coen Williams, and Phill’s son Hayden. “These boys just love playing basketball.” Having coached Hayden since

he first picked up a basketball, Phill says his son is developing into a quality player. “He is an exceptional kid, works his butt off, and wears his heart on his sleeve.” Hayden was one of three players, along with Coen and Kaden, to back up from the South Island junior invitationals which Waimea also won in convincing fashion. Phill says his side’s success would not have been possible without his assistant Stefan James. “The boys all take a bit of feeding, watering and maintenance.” Phill says while the final ended up as a blowout, the scoreline did not represent how tense the game was. “Nayland stuck with us early on and made it tough, but we just peaked at the right time,” Phill says.

Cant led the women home in another fast time of 43.26mins, over two mins ahead of her nearest rival. Steve Pauling was the fastest of the walkers, with Eileen Beattie the first woman home.

Opening day success Gareth Nicholson It’s always great being the first person on a river for the season, the fish haven’t seen a fly for a few months and larger fish can often be found feeding merrily without being easily disturbed. This opening weekend I got lucky in that not only did I pick a great river loaded with naïve trout, but the size and quality of the fish was ridiculous. I haven’t managed to crack the 10lb mark with a river trout yet, so this is always my target at the start of a new season. Today was looking promising and I was feeling optimistic. My skills were a bit rusty early on and I blew opportunities at a couple of fish before hooking into a would-be personal best that was lost at the net. It took a good few curse words to regather myself, but what lay around the next bend would quickly

ease my sorrows. I came across a long pool stacked with big brown trout. After a few minutes watching multiple fish feeding, I picked my target and chucked on a big dry fly. As soon as the fly hit the water, the trout raced over and devoured it without hesitation the fight was on. The fish went ballistic with big runs and full leaps out of the water before eventually tiring and coming to the net. It came in at 9lbs and went down as a new PB. I went on to land another three fish from the same pool, the smallest being 63 cm long, and returned home with a massive smile on my face. With enough excitement on the mind to get me through a couple of work weeks, I can’t wait to get back out there and chase down that elusive 10 lb fish. Bring on the rest of the season.

After a tumultuous couple of financial years, Nelson Cricket is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. In 2019, Nelson Cricket reported a loss of $74,000 – much of it owed to the Nelson City Council. The situation prompted a review of Nelson Cricket Association’s (NCA) finances and led to an internal report which attributed poor financial administration, inadequate reporting and lack of oversight for the position the organisation found itself in. However, the organisation has managed to rebound quickly and for a second consecutive year, is reporting a surplus. Nelson Cricket chairperson Nettles Lamont says the major challenge of the past few years has been to rebuild its financial position and generate sufficient surpluses in order to serve the cricket community with more freedom. In 2021, a surplus of $121,503 was achieved which, combined with 2020’s smaller surplus, has grown its reserves to $190,280. Nettles says once again this year has provided many challenges. “We lived through the uncertainty of lockdowns, potentially appear-

ing overnight and being able to create complete havoc with our operations.” Fortunately, a full season of local cricket was able to be played and the 2021/22 season is in full swing. Tim Murdoch commenced as operations manager in October 2020, and has made significant progress in ensuring Nelson Cricket is an organised and efficient operation. Tim says the board has been working hard to rectify the image and financial performance of Nelson Cricket. One innovation Tim has introduced is the 40-over format in favour of the 110-over game. “The 110-over was a pretty ordinary competition and teams struggled to bat the time, so we thought let’s try something different.” The local T20 competition will also be brought forward to avoid poor weather. Another factor to Nelson Cricket’s rejuvenation has been the appointment of Brady Barnett to lead the coaching in the region. Brady has been instrumental in helping grow the female games in the region. This season will see the Central Hinds making its Saxton debut as well as entering a team in the Mike Shrimpton for the first time. Tim says White Ferns seamer Claudia Green proves the pathways for Nelson players are there.

The Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway Season revved into action for its first meeting of the season on Saturday. Amid Covid uncertainty, and an average weather forecast early in the week, the meeting ran like clockwork with extra races added as time allowed. To aid Super Saturday, a Covid vaccine area was also set up for those happy to have a shot while enjoying the racing. It was the first major sporting event held in Tasman since Covid Level 2 kicked in a month ago and the night was a promising start to the season. Jack Burson shone in the Youth Ministocks not only with his driving skills, but the car looked spectacular as well. It was a dominant performance from Kaylim McNabb who cleared away from the field to win comfortably in the feature. He also picked up the John Pomeroy Trophy for overall club driver of the night. A few production saloons had panel work to do after some close racing for the minor spoils, South Island Champion Eddy Frans needing some major repair work after slapping the wall in heat two. Blake Hearne and Callum Russ had a run-off for second and third, Russ getting the better of Hearne in a close battle. The T.Q. feature went down to a final lap dash with local Jayden Corkill unable to catch Greymouth’s James Thompson and holding onto second by a hair’s breadth from Rodney Thompson splitting the two visiting coast brothers. The Streetstocks slowly warmed up their front bumpers, Matt Watson getting the job done, clearing out a few cars to take out the chequered flag in race two. The Coca-Cola Fireworks is the next major meeting at Nelson Speedway with the club plan to light up the sky on October 30.

Tell us your vision for the natural world

Service centres and libraries: All service centres and libraries will be closed for the public holiday on Monday 25 October. Usual opening hours apply otherwise. We are always here to help when needed though, call 03 543 8400 for assistance, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A draft Tasman BioStrategy – Te Mana o te Taiao ki te Tai o Aorere – has been released by a Working Group appointed by Tasman District Council and iwi representatives. The Working Group is now seeking feedback on the draft created through public discussion and submissions last year.

Rubbish and recycling: There are no changes to the rubbish and recycling collections. All our Resource Recovery Centres will be open as normal.

The BioStrategy sets regional goals and a pathway for restoration of air, land, freshwater and sea. It follows Te Mana o te Taiao: Aotearoa New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy in setting targets for protecting and restoring te Taiao (the natural world) up to 2050. The draft BioStrategy presents a grim picture of the current state of native biodiversity. It says that although the region has large integrated management programmes for pests, and major investment by national and local government and by citizens, further loss and extinction is inevitable without transformational change. The vision for the future if action is taken is contrastingly upbeat. It envisages a natural world that is flourishing. Feedback is open until 7 November 2021. For more information visit tasman.govt.nz/biostrategy. Please email all feedback to peter@phoenixfacilitation.co.nz.

Have your say on the future of Moutere-Waimea parks and reserves Healthy nature is central to human health, wellbeing and the economy. Our new draft Moutere-Waimea Ward Reserve Management Plan sets the framework for managing that healthy environment. We administer 156 parks and reserves in the Ward, ranging from small neighbourhood parks through to sportsgrounds and large, multi-use spaces for playing, picnicking, camping and other leisure activities. We’ve worked together with Te Tau Ihu iwi to create this plan, along with input from the community over the past couple of years. Now we need your feedback on this final draft. Natural environments and the plants and wildlife they support are part of our identity. Nature provides us with green spaces and recreation for wellbeing, supports primary and tourism industries, and allows us to gather kai. When nature is thriving, people are thriving. An example included in the plan is a section on Wakefield Recreation Reserve. We recently purchased 7.5ha of land to almost double the size of this reserve and there is an updated concept plan included that shows our intended management of the overall reserve. The draft Reserve Management Plan sets out the vision, objectives, policies, implementation and priorities for parks and reserves located within the Moutere-Waimea Ward for the next ten years. It also asks questions about various aspects of our parks and reserves that you can help answer. View the draft plan online at tasman.govt.nz/feedback. The two-month submission period runs until Friday 17 December. Hearings and deliberations will be held next February with the final document expected to be presented to the Council for adoption in April.

Join your local youth council The Tasman Youth Council is looking for new members for 2022. This is an excellent opportunity for young people who are passionate about their local community and want to make a positive difference in our region. The role is also a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in politics and wants to learn how decisions are made and what role the community plays in these decisions. Youth Councillors participate in conferences and hui, as well as organising projects that are important for young people. They advocate for youth issues and ideas and support infrastructure projects such as skate parks, street art, reserves, youth hubs and more. Anyone between 12 and 24 years old living in Tasman is welcome to join. There are four Youth Councils around the District – Golden Bay, Motueka, Murchison and Waimea. Sign up online at tasmanyouthhub.co.nz/join.

Last chance for rural sports funding

Clean Up Week starts on Monday 25 October Did you know you can dispose of litter you collect at a community clean-up event for free at a Tasman Resource Recovery Centre? You’ll just need to complete a quick survey which can be found on the ‘Recycling and Rubbish’ page of our website, tasman.govt.nz. A community clean up can be as small as a group of friends or a family heading down to their local beach or stream to collect litter; or as big as 100 people all working together across a large area. Tasman Bay Guardians have resources on their website to help with planning your clean up. Register your clean up with them to get help with choosing an appropriate clean up location: tasmanbayguardians.org.nz. You can also register your clean up event and order clean up kits on the Keep New Zealand Beautiful website: knzb.org.nz.

Applications are open until Wednesday 10 November. For more information and to complete an application form, visit tasman.govt.nz/creative-communities.
