The event was organised by a group of dedicated wedding professionals, under the umbrella of The Wedding Hub NZ. The idea was to showcase a number of local businesses, including the venue, Armageddon Paintball and Redstone Golf Park. The Wedding Hub NZ has also taken over management of the Nelson Wedding Expo, and will be running it in 2018 as The Nelson & Bays Wedding Show.

The Wedding Hub NZ was founded by Terri Everett, who says the group is all about bringing together like-minded industry members, creating a supportive network and showcasing Nelson, Tasman and New Zealand to those planning their big day. Anyone looking to learn more about the group or upcoming events can check out the website at theweddinghubnz.com.

Two Richmond businesses will be seeing a bit more of each other after the fence that separated their Queen St premises was torn down last week to make way for a new development.

The shared carpark between Village Cycles and First National at the lower end of Queen has been divided by a fence that was erected by First National a couple of years ago. But the fence was taken down last week by the new owners of the First National building, Future Food Systems, We’ll probably who are planning a big devel- employ around 12 to 15 engineers opment for the site.

- Sean Marr Future Food Systems managing director Sean Marr says they will be demolishing the old house at the back of the property this month to build a new 450 square metre research and prototyping facility for the company. Longer term plans include demolishing the old First National building to build a restaurant, office and apartment although, he says, “that’s 18 to 24 months away”.

Sean and business partner Jonathan Eyles started Future Food Systems after selling their Stokebased Titan Slicer Ltd which successfully patented industrial food slicers. Future Food Systems

“Hiking, I’ll be trying to do as many as hiking trips as I can during my time off. Christmas will just be the usual, visiting the family.”

“Living in Nelson/Tasman, we’re lucky we’ve got the rivers and beaches. We always come in for the Santa parade too and we’ll be having a family Christmas.”

The fence falls for exciting R & D facility FROM PAGE 1 will specialise in developing industrial equipment for processing meat.

“It’s going to be all R and D,” Sean says. “We’ll probably employ around 12 to 15 engineers here.”

However, re-opening the new shared carpark has not been without its problems.

Sean says a new power box, precariously placed right in the middle of the driveway entrance, had been hit by at least three cars before two bollards were installed for protection.

Jonathan was also busy on a mini-excavator last week, digging up the carpark trying to locate a leak in a water pipe that sprung up after the pipe was reconnected during the Queen St upgrade.

Although the shared carpark

fence taken down.

“It’s quite a nice area,” Andy says.

“We often come out here with customers and chat and test ride bikes so it’s good having more room.”

Tragic incident A man died on Marahau Hill on Saturday while competing in the second Abel Tasman Cycle Challenge. Family members of the rider have thanked the organisers on the event Facebook page for their sensitivity and for allowing them to thank and acknowledge the kindness and sportsmanship of other riders who gave up their ride to assist their father, during the award ceremony. Organisers also acknowledged and thanked the riders who assisted on their Facebook page and extended their thoughts and condolences to the family.

SH1 opening hours State Highway 1 north and south of Kaikoura is scheduled to reopen December 15, and the New Zealand Transport Agency has confirmed the initial hours

ginning

of operation will be 7am to 8.30pm. Agency earthquake recovery manager Tim Crow says the decision has been made with safety of road users in mind. He notes that once reopened several sites will still be under construction, however the number of worksites will be reduced between December 15 and January 7.

Whooping cough hits Five cases of whooping cough have been confirmed in Nelson and another 18 cases are suspected. Medical officer of health, Dr Stephen Bridgman, urges people to be vigilant and seek immediate advice from their GP if they or their children show symptoms. Initial symptoms are like a common cold with runny nose, slight fever and mild cough. After a week or two, coughing fits are the main symptom with thick phlegm, a ‘whoop’ sound after a cough and possibly vomiting.

Bus driver Rod Barnes is swapping his NBus for a Harley Davidson this weekend as part of the 32nd Ulysses Nelson Toy Run. Organised by the Nelson Branch of the Ulysses Club, the run gathers new toys and donations for the Salvation Army to distribute, helping Nelsonians in need during the Christmas period.

Rod has been riding motor-

bikes since the early 1970s and joined the club in 2008. This will be the 10th Toy Run for the proud owner of a Harley Davidson 1200 custom and he says he always makes sure he has a passenger, helping him collect toys along the way.

He says the run brings out the wonderful community spirit of Nelson and Tasman.

“The community support it so well - all the toys we get for the Salvation Army is really good.”

The Toy Run is on this Saturday, November 25, starting at 10am at Papps Carpark in

Richmond.

It will travel along Cambridge St, Oxford St, Salisbury Rd through to Stoke, Waimea Rd, Rutherford St, Selwyn Pl, Trafalgar St, Halifax St, Paru Paru Rd, finishing at the Trafalgar Centre.

Donations can be made on the day at the start and end points, or by waving down the Salvation Army truck which follows the procession.

The public are being asked to keep an eye out for the bikes and give them a wave or a donation.

A & P Show stocks go up Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The number of farm animals at the Golden Edge A & P Show has been declining, but Aimee Prattley and her two sons Lochie and Beauden will be doing their best to reverse that trend when they head to Richmond Park this weekend.

Aimee, who helps manage Oakwoods Farm with her partner Michael, started showing calves at the Nelson show 18 years ago and this year she has recruited her sons to help out.

The family is taking 14 calves and cows in the show and have been busy this week clipping, grooming and shampooing their entries to have them looking perfect on judging day.

“I started showing cows in Nelson 18 years ago when I lived in Rai Valley and my parents sold my horse and bought me a cow,’ Aimee says.

“I’ve been showing a few of the calves and cows from Oaklands for a while but this year we’re are taking a lot more because Lochie and Beauden are helping out.”

Aimee says they started getting the eight calves ready for the

trials (both days), wood chopping and the horticulture, home industry and children and youth competitions have also attracted plenty of entries.

There will be dog trialling with a difference with Rai Valley’s New Zealand representative Ken White and his dog herding a mob of the ducks through a series of obstacles.

Annette says there will be “hundreds” of trade stalls although one the most popular displays is always the Town and Country Vet Animal Barn.

She also expects what will literally be the show’s biggest attractions, the Clydesdales and strong men and women in the Taylors car Strongman Challenge, to be popular.

The gates will be open from 9am to 5pm on Saturday and 9am to 4pm on Sunday.

Tickets at the gate cost $15 for adults, $25 for a family (up to two adults and three children) and $5 for children aged five to 16.

Tickets can also be pre-purchased for $10 for adults and $20 for a family from the Richmond Mall, More FM, Bowater Toyota Nelson and Motueka, Haven Mazda and the Nelson A & P offices at Richmond Park.

Kevin learning new tasks at Noel Leeming

Simon Bloomberg All Kevin Jourdain wants is an opportunity to work full-time and show that he is just as capable and hard-working as anyone else.

And now Kevin, who suffers from cerebral palsy, has a chance to prove his worth after being given a part-time job as storeman at Noel Leeming in Richmond. Kevin, aged 30, had been delivering papers for the Waimea Weekly for the last five years and says he is “really enjoying my first real job” after starting at Noel Leeming on Tuesday.

“I’ve applied for dozens of jobs but nobody wants me,” Kevin says. “I know I walk around with a funny walk and have a high energy thing, which is good and bad at the same time, but I can do lots of things well.

“I just wish more people would be willing to take a risk and employ me. Waimea Weekly and Noel Leeming have been very good to give me a chance but I’d really love a full-time job.”

Kevin says he is looking forward to learning the role of storeman at Noel Leeming and, unless he gets a full-time job offer, plans to return to his delivery job at Waimea Weekly at the end of the summer. Although he is enjoying his new job and would like full-time work, Kevin admits he is already missing the people he meets on his paper run around shops and businesses on Queen St and McGlashen Ave. “I meet so many people and they are all really nice to me. They treat me like a normal person.”

Rare military funeral for war hero Charles Anderson The region will play host to the only full military funeral in recent memory when one of New Zealand’s most decorated soldiers is laid to rest next week.

Major-General Walter “Sandy” Babington Thomas died in Australia at the age of 98 last month but will be brought back to his home in Riwaka for a funeral worthy of his service to both New Zealand and the British armed forces. Over the years he was shot at, bombed, stabbed and imprisoned during a “highly thrilling and successful military career,” according to his family obituary.

As a 17-year-old, Sandy signed up for the territorials in 1935, lying about his age in the process.

“He was a bit of a rebel,” says local RSA president Barry Pont. “He was a revered and quite humble man.”

Representatives of New Zealand’s military will attend the funeral, as well as an honour guard and fir-

ing party.

Barry says he can’t remember when such an honour was afforded to such a distinguished soldier.

Sandy served in the Middle East, Italy and Japan during his 32-year military career and became the youngest commander of a New Zealand infantry battalion at war at the age of 24. After WW2 he joined the British armed forces.

He was decorated for bravery four times, receiving the Military Cross twice and awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the New Zealand Operational Service Medal. He also received the Silver Star from the United States army.

Sandy was wounded and became a prisoner of war on Crete in World War II, but not before earning the Military Cross for bravery.

“He was an inspiration to his men, setting an example for cheerfulness, initiative and courage seldom surpassed,” his official citation for the Military Cross

Major-General Walter “Sandy” Babington Thomas died in Australia at the age of 98 last month.

He will have a full military funeral in Nelson next week. reads.

After he was captured, his German captors flew him to a prison hospital where Sandy launched a series of daring escape plans.

One had him playing dead and being carted out in a coffin. This would have worked had he not fallen asleep and his snoring alerted the guards. After three attempts, Sandy finally succeeded

in getting free to set off on an epic journey to the Holy Mountain on Mount Athos, where monks hid him away.

General Sir Howard Kippenberger called him “one of the best officers I ever served with”.

After the war he joined the British army where he distinguished himself during the Malayan Emergency and then found himself in Kenya during the Mau Mau Uprising. When he was 51, Sandy became a Major-General and was posted to Singapore as the commander of the Far Eastern Command. He retired to a farm in South East Queensland due to the poor health of his wife Iredale.

“He set to work with his usual enthusiasm to singlehandedly plant and nurture thousands of trees, and created a beautiful property where he lived surrounded by family and friends until his death,” his family obituary reads.

Sandy’s daughter Gabrielle Kervalla, who lives in Takaka, re-

members her father as “larger than life”.

“He was very big-hearted and loved a good laugh. As a daughter there was never a dull moment.

He leaves a big hole.”

After WW2 Sandy travelled with his family to post war Germany and then to “hot spots” all around the world.

Gabrielle says it wasn’t hard to realise the respect her father commanded “It didn’t make any difference. He was just our father.”

Bev Boucher of Shone and Shirley funeral directors says it’s a privilege to help put on Sandy’s funeral. “He deserves it all. He was such an amazing man.”

He is survived by his three daughters, four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Friends and military colleagues are invited to attend a memorial service at Motueka RSA on Monday 27 at 1pm followed by an interment at Riwaka Cemetery at 3.30pm.

Richmond Unlimited coordinator Charlotte Bidlake is making her list and checking it twice, not to find out who’s naughty or nice, but in preparation for the annual Pak n’ Save Richmond Santa Parade on Sunday.

The weather forecast is looking good, they’ve got a great line-up of floats, entertainment is booked, and now they just need the crowds.

One of biggest events in Richmond each year, thousands line the streets to usher in the Christmas season and to wave hello to the ‘big guy’.

“We’ve got a fantastic variety of floats again this year with some really exciting creativity involved,” says Charlotte.

“There’s a great mix of firm favourites as well as some new entries on board like the WOW classic cars, Outpost Supplies and the 501st Legion.”

Perennial winners Grace Church will be there along with Harold the giraffe from the Life Education Trust and a giant Mickey and Minnie from Dress Up Box in Richmond.

Dress Up Box is also helping out by providing outfits to a number of other parade entrants.

Owner Kris Cavit says that the Santa Parade is a great community gathering and really kicks off the season with Christmas cheer.

“It brings smiles to people’s faces and adds so much good spirit,” says Kris.

The parade will run down Oxford St, starting from the Warring carpark entrance, turn right into Cambridge St, left into Queen St, then finish on McIndoe Pl. But the festivities don’t end there.

Once the parade has finished you can bring the kids along to Sundial Square to meet Santa and get their photo taken with Mickey and Minnie.

There will also be stilt walkers, balloon twisting, face painting, a magician, and some great summer sounds from More FM who will also be providing live commentary throughout the parade.

The prize-giving takes place in Sundial Square at 1.45pm, although new this year is the People’s Choice Award which will be announced the following week. Photos of all the entries will be uploaded to the Love Richmond Facebook page, and the public get to vote by ‘liking’ their favourite entry. The winning entry has the chance to win $300 and all voters go into the draw to win $200.

“Santa Parade is a great community event with so many groups, clubs and businesses getting involved each year, and seeing the joy it brings to thousands of kids is just fantastic,” says Charlotte.

The Pak n’ Save Richmond Santa Parade is on Sunday, November 26, starting from 12 noon.

The event will be on (light) rain or shine.

3D archery park on target for opening Judene Edgar Wannabe Robin Hoods and Katniss Everdeens will have the opportunity to test their skills very soon, in a first-of-its-kind three-dimensional archery park proposed for Nelson.

Archery has made a significant revival thanks to movies such as The Hunger Games and Brave, and now Nelson looks set to get in on the action thanks to archer Markus Erdmann.

“I want to take this inspiration, provide all the gear and training, and give people an amazing outdoors experience,” says Markus.

Starting his archery training in Germany over

and even an archery village in Austria,” he says.

“It’s such a fantastic way to get people to forget about technology for a while and enjoy the outdoors.”

Unlike a typical archery range with targets set at exact distances, in 3D archery threedimensional animal targets are placed along a hiking trail.

Each target creates a different shooting scenario depending upon location and size.

Markus has eight new targets arriving shortly, including a small deer, rabbit, boar, beaver and a dragon. The targets are made from a ‘self-healing foam’ that closes after the arrow has been removed.

“I think it really complements Nelson’s reputation as an outdoor adventure sports hub.”

With the first practice round under his belt, Markus is hoping to be up-and-running in the new year, initially in the

weekends for group events such as birthday parties, school outings and stag do’s.

Markus is also looking at adding dodge archery, a heartpumping combination of the thrill of dodge ball with the precision of archery. Using round foam-tipped arrows, he says that the impact is less than paintball.

“I’m running a survey on Facebook to get feedback on what people would like to see

to help me plan what opens and when,” he says.

“I have a site in the Brook Valley that I’m using at the moment, but I’d also be keen to hear from anyone who has a farm or forestry block who might be interested in letting me use their property.”

Go to ‘Archery Park Nelson’ on Facebook and complete the survey before November 25 to go into the draw to win a replica medieval arrow.

Markus Erdmann is gearing up for Archery Park Nelson. Photo: Judene Edgar 15 years ago, Markus was disappointed that it was conducted indoors - this was not the ‘Robin Hood experience’ that he was seeking.

However, his love for the sport saw him training alongside Olympic archers and competing, and winning, at tournaments. But his desire to combine archery with the outdoors never dimmed, and before shifting to New Zealand he had already set up a small company running 3D archery for groups and parties.

“Kids don’t always like a bush walk, but I soon discovered that give them a bow and arrow and they’ll walk for days,” says Markus.

Shifting to Nelson saw this passion put on hold, but the organiser of Nelson’s Startup Weekend and venues project manager for the Cricket World Cup, says that the time is now right.

Locals took an educational walk around Easby Park on Sunday afternoon, as actors played out snippets of Richmond history, focusing on what life was like in the village during the 1920s, and life as a Richmond coal miner in the 1870s.

Judene Edgar played Else Griffin while Nikki Karki portrayed her visiting friend from England. While their performance was entertaining to the many who turned out, it was of particular interest to two members of the Field family, Philip and Peter, who were the nephews of the real Else, or Aunt Orney, as she was known.

“I’ve been in the coal mine and got told off for it,” says Peter. “I was less than 10 years old and was told that it could collapse on me.”

Peter also remembers playing on the Griffin family tennis court, the levelled patch of ground where it used to be can still be seen at Easby Park.

Richmond’s Val Trow was also impressed with the miniature history tour.

“I read somewhere that there was a coal mine here but it’s hard to imagine now, it’s good to know what was in your own backyard.”

Council community partnerships officer Lani Evans says the event was a great chance to show people what used to happen in the local area, as well as promote Richmond’s outdoors. “There were so many people, I can’t believe it, it shows that there’s a real need in the community and that people want to know their local

Hot rods revved up at national show Jessie Johnston

Hot rod club, the Fifeshire Street Rodders, played host to this year’s NZHRA National Hot Rod Show, which saw over 50 vehicles exhibited at Trafalgar Centre over the weekend.

Owners from all over the country came to Nelson to show off their vehicles, which were at various stages of their restoration or modification journey.

Known as the Behemoth, Nick Appelman’s customised 1954 Chevrolet was amongst those on display at the event, where it was admired from all angles by hundreds of hot rod enthusiasts.

“I got the car in 1984 and first got it back on the road in 1996, with the help of a good friend who worked with me on a lot of the panel work,” says the Nick, from Brightwater. “In 2007, I took it back off the road because the paint had boiled up on it, I did a lot more modifications on it, repainted it and that’s how you see it today.”

The Behemoth was Nick’s first hot rod project, although it originally started as a restoration, “then I finished up with a back injury and was stuck lying in bed when one of

my club members gave me a box of magazines of customs in America,” says Nick. “I started looking through that and then I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he said, ‘if that’s what you want to do, I’ll make a start on it for you’.

He came around every day for a year and worked on it for a couple of hours to help get it going.”

The story of how Nick actually came across the car is an interesting one. “It drove into my driveway and broke down, so I did a deal with the guy that owned it, he rode out on one of my motorbikes and I kept the car,” says Nick.

As a rule, he gets the Behemoth out regularly on the weekends, for club runs and various car shows around the country.

Fifeshire Street Rodders president Lex Chapman-Stone says the event received a great turn-out from the public and hot rod owners, with some travelling from as far as Cromwell and Whangarei.

The event concluded with a prizegiving where Paul Bailey from Wellington received the People’s Choice award for his Dodge Challenger. Judges also named him the overall winner of the show, after scrutinising every inch of his vehicle.

Irrigators are our partners in the dam project We need to secure our urban water supply now and for future generations. Irrigators need a secure water supply to grow their crops and run their businesses. It makes sense to work together. The partnership has attracted Government grants and low and no-interest loans towards the proposed solution – the Waimea Community Dam – and makes the project more affordable for everyone.

Irrigators are responsible for 49% of the dam’s capital cost and 49% of its ongoing operating costs. An individual irrigator who wants a secure water supply and choose to buy shares in the project would pay an estimated:

The Council proposes to underwrite up to $29 million of loan funding from the Government to irrigators. We have done so because it makes the project more affordable for everyone.

• $5000 - $5500 per share (one share equals one hectare of irrigation)

Yes – there is some risk but there are also benefits especially the zero and low interest loans. We have the means to recover these costs from affiliated water permit holders.

• Annual water user charge of $550 - $600 per share • The Zone of Benefit rate based on the capital value of their property • The $29 District-wide fixed rate • If connected to the Council’s reticulated water network, a 10% increase in water charges.

Ashleigh Dwyer’s eldest children don’t get to complain to their mum about going to school because she goes to school too, but they do get to wave to her across the road at lunchtime.

While her three children, aged nine, seven and two, think that it’s a bit of a novelty that Mum goes to school, she says that she was really apprehensive initially.

“I left school at 15, so going back was such a big step and I wasn’t sure if I’d make it through,” she says.

“But one of the things I’ve learnt is that you have a lot more strength than you realise.”

The young mum of three was the lucky recipient of this year’s Soroptimist Club of Waimea education grant for women over 25 who are obtaining their first tertiary qualification. She says that the grant made a big difference and took a lot of pressure off.

“I was so happy when I got the call,” says Ashleigh.

“It felt amazing, I did a happy dance.”

President Lynne Ehau says that the club undertakes a range of fund-raising events throughout the year to help women and children.

“We support a number of community activities and charities such as hosting a Pink Ribbon breakfast for the Cancer Society, providing meals for Ma’s House, and making afternoon teas for the Alzheimer’s group,” says Lynne.

Fire Brigade open day Judene Edgar Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade are hosting an open day this Saturday with the hope of attracting volunteers for today, as well as future volunteers, with an action-packed, behind-thescenes showcase.

Volunteer firefighter Alex Theobald, who is helping organise the event, has been a firefighter since he was 17 years old, and says that it was something he always wanted to do. Being able to hear the siren from his home and a visit to the fire station when he was young, was all the inspiration he needed.

“I was quite nervous initially, but they’re a great bunch of people and I’ve learnt lots of new skills,” he says.

Part of a team of 27, he says that they’re keen to get some more volunteers on board, and in particular more women.

“Some brigades have up to 50 per cent women, but we only have two at the

moment, so we’re keen to engage more women,” he says.

“We serve the community really well, but I’m not sure if the community are aware of the range of services we provide.”

Open to all members of the public, the open day is a great opportunity to get an inside look at what they do. As well as showcasing their two fire trucks and Nelson’s aerial appliance, there will be a number of demonstrations including a motor vehicle accident extrication, kitchen fire and hose activities.

There will also be the ‘Get Down, Get Low, Get Out - Fast Challenge’ for kids - an inflatable set up where kids have to crawl through a dark simulated house. Its purpose is to teach kids to keep down low in a house fire and navigate their way out using an escape plan.

The 20-year-old storeman says that his employer, who is also a volunteer firefighter, is very

accommodating, and the brigade hold annual employer recognition nights “because we’re aware of the commitment and possible disruption to them also, and we’re immensely grateful for their support”.

While some weeks there may be three or four callouts in a day, other weeks there might be none, but workers who can’t leave their jobs to attend callouts are still encouraged to come along as this is not a pre-requisite for the role.

“It’s a big ask for some, but at the end of the day it’s still worth it,” says Alex.

The Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade open day is Saturday, November 25 from 11am to 3pm at the fire station on 70 Oxford St, Richmond.

Anyone interested in volunteering who can’t make the open day is invited to come along to one their weekly training nights at the station, Tuesdays at 7.30pm.

What you need to know The countdown is on! There are less than two weeks left of construction work on Queen Street for 2017. On 1 December, Downer will begin removing all the construction machinery and materials from the street, ready for a full street reopening on 2 December.

The point where the old streetscape meets the new will be managed with the installation of a ramp to ensure a smooth transition point for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. The speed limit on Queen is 30kmh, so remember to take it slow.

Work on the remaining pipe upgrades, street reprofiling and streetscaping will begin in February 2018.

The street is starting to look fantastic so come on down to check it out, support our local businesses, and enjoy the summer season.

The wide, obstacle-free footpaths in the completed street sections are for pedestrians – please no parking, cycling or driving on the footpath or buffer strip.

One example for drinks at Christmas lunch or as a gift, is the recently launched wine brand from Waipara called 27 Seconds. The name comes from a fact that every 27 Seconds, somewhere in the world, a vulnerable person is trafficked or sold into slavery.

27 Seconds is partnered with Non Governmental Organisation, Hagar, that works with survivors of modern day slavery. 100% of the profits from 27 Seconds wine sales go to Hagar. (27seconds.co.nz)

What will the December 2017 spend look like and who will be getting all the money?

You get to decide and you can choose those looking out for others lower down the retail chain.

In the Nelson and Tasman regions we are fortunate to have many local artisan producers. Allowing us to buy unique products directly from the producer.

Other alternatives that help the planet and non profit organisations are buying from charity or second hand shops for that new dress for Christmas day. There are some beautiful items sitting on those crowded shelves, if you are smart enough to look for them.

New Zealand crowd funding sites, such as PledgeMe, also offer an opportunity to support artists’ and inventors’ projects directly.

There are shops, including Trade Aid in Hardy Street, Nelson that sell fairly traded goods. We can know that not only are we buying a nice gift, but also the person who created it is getting a fair price.

Social enterprises are becoming increasingly visible.

They are an opportunity to purchase goods or services where there is more than money as the bottom line.

Every Christmas we decorate our church. Some elements are traditional, and we have had some wonderful innovative ones thanks to Roseanne Armstrong’s inspirational skills in floral art. We have baby Jesus in a straw-filled crib, with lambs. We have the three kings — did you know they are not actually in the Bible? And a wreath with four candles, and a big candle in the centre. The four candles are lit on the four Sundays before Christmas, and all the candles are lit on Christmas Day. The candles stand for peace, hope, love and joy. These will be the theme of our decorations this year. Come and see the decorations — the church will be open Mon–Sat from the beginning of December, but is in use on Wed mornings. Enjoy the decorations, including those created by the children and perhaps a little peace, hope, love and joy of your own.

Shoeboxes for the children

You are welcome Christmas is supposed to be a time of fun, family, friends and good food. For a lot of us, it is also a source of stress as we cope with the busyness of the season. For some of us it’s even harder as the atmosphere and the advertising makes us realise what we haven’t got – whether that’s people to celebrate with or money to afford a decent meal. This is the motivation behind the Richmond Community Christmas lunch. For the fifth year running, a large team of volunteers is putting on this event with the help of many supporters. The aim is to provide a celebration of Christmas over a good meal with good company. All are welcome. There will be plenty of good food and company.

For catering purposes, it is preferable to register in advance either through the Richmond Mall or Age Concern. While we will try and squeeze in everyone we can, we have capacity for 150 people. As this is a family event, it is alcohol free. For more details, please call 544 8844 or email church.onhill@xtra.co.nz Here’s looking forward to a Happy Christmas!

On 25 December, the annual Christmas spend up on presents, food and drink can feel as though it was for little gain other than credit card bills in January. But with a bit of thought about who we choose to receive our hard earned money, we can have better stories to tell over Christmas Day lunch and less broken pieces of plastic to step on.

Ninety-three boxes was the number of shoeboxes created by Church on the Hill members for the annual Operation Christmas Child run by Samaritan’s Purse. The boxes include something to wear, something to play with, something for school, something to love, something special and something for personal hygiene.

The shoeboxes are freighted to children who need them in other nations, usually in the South Pacific. People of all ages helped to create the boxes, including the kids from Church on the Hill, who went shopping and filled some boxes for their counterparts in another country.

New building for 2018

2017 Christmas Services

For over a decade people at Church on the Hill have been praying, working and hoping for a new building to replace the old hall. Finally we are almost ready to begin!

Church on the Hill

We have signed a contract with GJ Gardner builders, who plan to remove the old hall in January 2018.

Construction should begin soon after that depending on attaining the necessary consents from the Tasman District Council.

Over the years much fundraising has gone on for this project. We gratefully acknowledge all those who have donated or purchased goods from garage sales, garden trails or stalls. We very much appreciate the Lotteries Commission and Rata Foundation who have promised $100,000 each. The vast bulk of the funds needed has been given directly by Church on the Hill members. For a little church it is nothing short of miraculous to have raised nearly one million dollars.

This money will be enough to remove the old building and erect the new one. It will pay for the whole structure and many fittings including the kitchen. We may need to raise more funds for some internal fittings. We will also need more funds to enable our carpark and grounds to be completely redesigned.

The new facility is different from what was originally planned. It is simpler than the previous design. It will be located where the old hall is, but with a larger footprint allowing for the lounge, hall and kitchen to be enlarged. There will also be staff offices located in the planned single-story centre.

The new hall and community centre will be available for the wider community as well as for church activities. We also want the grounds to be welcoming and safe. We envisage picnic tables and places for anyone to sit. We expect to have a stage at the bottom of the grass hill which forms a natural amphitheatre near Richmond Primary School. Our carpark will be designed so that school families can again use the carpark to pick up and collect their children, knowing that the planned pedestrian walkway will separate vehicles and people.

We are so grateful to God for the journey he has had us on as a church. We give thanks for our early building team and the current team led by Mr Kai Kruse. They have all worked long and hard to get us to this point and now expect to hand the keys to the new facility to church leaders by October 2018.

Bring it on! If you want more information or have questions contact church.onhill@xtra.co.nz

Brightwater Busy November for Community Community Association Anglican Church Pat Lithgow Chairperson

Martin Harrison There are only six weeks left until the end of the year and with all the things that happen in December, these weeks will be full. There will be much talk of the festive season and wishes of happy Christmas however, for some in the community this will be far from the reality. These special celebration times reinforce that some seats around the dinner table will be empty because loved ones have died, and this causes people to grieve.

Grief is how we handle loss. We experience grief or loss in many aspects of our lives like when a relationship fails, when children leave home, when we lose a home in a fire, as we age and our capabilities reduce, and most profoundly, when we lose someone close to us through death.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve and there are no time frames as some grief is a life’s work because of its effect. As your local church, we seek to create a community where it is safe for people to be real and be supported in the ways they need to be.

We believe church should be somewhere you can laugh or cry. A place where you can be helped as well as offering your gifts to help others. If needed, we also have trained people who can help you in many different ways.

There are only six weeks till the end of the year, in the rush of those weeks remember to make time and give a gift of yourself to someone who is not having a “Merry Christmas.”

The real meaning of Christmas is God gave his all for you and me.

Prior to our November meeting, a public-invited information session was held to discuss the Lee Valley dam proposal, aka the Waimea Water Augmentation Scheme.

Addressed by Mayor Richard Kempthorne, the meeting was attended by over 30 people, many with opposing views. To make an informed decision on the dam project, further information can be found at: www.tasman.govt.nz/ tasman/projects/water-augmentation-projects/waimea-dam/, w w w.facebook.com/WaimeaWater-Information-Network/ or www.waimeairrigators.co.nz/ At our regular November meeting we received the heartening news that our Volunteer Fire Brigade had received a replacement vehi-

cle for the Dennis fire appliance, whose main water pump was irreparable. The vehicle is currently being adapted to carry the emergency gear used by the brigade.

Neighbourhood Support, which is active throughout the Tasman District is urgently in need of a Treasurer. This organisation has been at the forefront of disseminating news of criminal activity in the district and of other matters that assist our district communities. If you have the requisite skills or know of any such person, please contact Glenys Della Bosca on 544 5756. A Special General Meeting of the group will be held on Tuesday, December 12, at Impressions in Sundial Square, from 7pm-8pm. The last meeting of the year for the Brightwater Community Association will be held at the Brightwater School staff room, at 7:30pm, December 4. Our speaker

is Reuben Peterson, of Opus, who will be discussing the Ellis Street streetscape progress.

Concept drawings have been developed and they will give a new

look to the main street, subject to budget restrictions. I hope to see you at our meeting and I wish all members of our community a safe, enjoyable Christmas.

Cheryl battles rare disease, Wednesday, November 1: After her story in the Waimea Weekly, Cheryl Thibodeau has received enough donations to meet her $6000 target and get the specialised bed with memory foam mattress. Cheryl was diagnosed with an extreme form of Wegener’s Granulomatosis and as a result of numerous surgeries, has a lot of internal metal that, among other things, disrupts her sleep. The specialised bed doesn’t interfere with the embedded body metal, it reduces pressure points and the bed allows a zero-gravity position to assist her breathing, circulation and joint pain. Cheryl was also donated a new set of bed sheets and would like to thank everyone who supported her cause.

Giving a helping hand - with a van Charles Anderson If you need a helping van, then Fitzgerald Construction could be what you need.

For the company’s 20th birthday it decided to gift a van to the community.

“This was just a way of giving back,” administrator Belinda Taggart said.

The van is available for anyone to use for free.

So, in the past few weeks sporting and social groups have taken it as far as Blenheim and Invercargill and back.

“As long as they clean it we don’t mind,” Belinda says. “They can just ring up and book, and then head away and do what they need to do.”

The company hasn’t advertised the service but already the news is getting around.

“We want it to be used, that’s what it’s there for,” Belinda says. “It’s just easy to use. There are no rules or regulations.”

WOB gets new sponsorship deal Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

In their younger days, Richmond businessmen Andrew Spittal and Simon Collett played rugby for Waimea Old Boys seniors during one of the club’s most successful championship-winning runs.

So, it was no surprise last week when their company Home Living Solutions was named as the new sponsor for the club. It’s also no surprise that the sponsorship deal was initiated following a discussion between Simon and club president Zane Beloe, who was either president or manager of many of those championshipwinning teams.

“I went straight from Waimea College in 1993 into the Waimea seniors as a skinny 70kg winger,” Simon says. “It seems like a lifetime ago now but I played for them for nine years and we won three championships.”

Simon says Andrew was also a member of four of the club’s championship-winning sides and remains one of the club’s longest-

The two business partners started their long association as players in those Waimea teams and now, along with Richmond’s Graham Vercoe and Gary Donaldson, own Home Living Solutions.

“I was just starting to play seniors and Andrew was near the end of his career, but he kept on coming back,” Simon says. “He retired quite a few times but they were short of front-rowers so he’d step up and help out.”

Gary and Graham also have strong links with the club with Graham’s father Dale and brother Bruce playing for the club and Gary working for the same company as Zane before leaving to establish a successful civil con-

tracting business. Home Living Solutions specialises in developing residential subdivisions around Tasman, including the region’s largest single development, The Meadows, which will see more than 650 homes built adjacent to Lower Queen St over the next 10-15 years.

Zane says the long-term arrangement provides security for the club, enabling it to plan ahead with confidence.

“We had a great sponsorship with the Star and Garter and now we are lucky to have another great sponsor with Home Living Solutions,” Zane says. “This is an extremely good sponsorship for Waimea Old Boys and I’m not surprised it’s coming from guys like Andrew and Simon.

“They played for Waimea Old Boys during a very successful period and now they are giving back to the club that gave to them. They are real Waimea men – they care about the club and the community.”

The new sponsorship will see the club’s senior team named HLS Waimea Old Boys next season

Giants sub in new management Andrew Board Journalist

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A new board has swept in to rebuild the Nelson Giants.

Ownership of the Mike Pero Nelson Giants has been held by a company called Nelson Giants 1993 Ltd, which was 90 per cent owned by former star player and coach Nenad Vucinic, with the other 10 per cent by the Nelson Basketball Association.

The company enChair of dured a tough the Nelson 2017 with a lack Giants, Bill of income from Dahlberg. gaming trusts and community trusts meaning there was little money for players, leading to a disappointing season on the court with the Giants finishing sixth out of the seven teams.

But that company has now been dissolved with ownership of the Giants, which plays in the National Basketball League, gifted to a trust called the Basketball Development Nelson Trust.

The trust is charged with funding and delivering a “range of quality coaching programmes plus com-

Reporting to that trust will sit a six-person board, responsible for the governance and strategy of the Giants, headed by Nelson City councillor and former Giants coach Bill Dahlberg.

Other directors include Nelmac CEO Lee Babe, Richmond businessman Richard Inglis, lawyer

Bill says the goal of the new structure is to ensure the Giants have a long-term sustainable model.

He says the entire organisation has been looked over, including the lack of the Wannabe cheer squad last year and how to best get value for sponsors.

“The first step was getting a quality coach, we’ve done that with Jamie Pearlman. That shows our

intent to now get quality players.

And if you have a winning team people will come and watch. We get really good crowds when we’re not winning. If we start winning again, we’ll pack the place.”

Bill says six players are contracted to the Giants for next season and discussions for last year’s star point guard Kyle Adman and local star forward Finn Delaney are advanced.

“Then we need some big men. We know we’re missing some bulk

and size in that centre forward role so we’ve targeted two 6 foot 9 inch, 110kg power forwards.”

He says the rest of the team will be made up of locals like Sam Dempster, Tom Ingham, Ali Granger and Bronson Beri.

“This all comes back to the coach.

If you get a great coach – and coach Pearlman is a 9 out of 10 – then our local players will get better and improve themselves and that’s what we need. People say sport should be fun, but losing is no fun. If you’re getting better and improving your skills that’s where it starts, because if you’re doing that you will start winning and that is fun.”

Bill says he hopes to announce player signings over the coming weeks.

“We’ve had good discussions with players and their agents but it’s also about working in with who’s available. The NBL is being moved forward a month next year so some players are still tied up with other teams in other leagues, it’s about getting access to the players we want.

“But the team we have got shadowed right now… we think we have a very talented team. Very exciting. The catch now is that we need to land them all.”

Ari gets best result of career Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Talented young Nelson rider Ari Scott emerged as a genuine prospect when he showed strength on the hills and perfect timing to finish third in the Abel Tasman Cycling Challenge on Saturday.

The 16-year-old was not expecting to feature in a strong line-up of elite and under-23 riders in the 155km race from Richmond to the top of Sandy Bay Hill in Marahau and back.

But the Nelson College student surprised everyone, including himself, when he rode across to

the three-rider breakaway and then challenged for the lead in the final stages.

Ari made a big move on the return journey, riding across to Team Skoda’s Joel Yates, who had been joined by Brett Grieve and Joshua Aldridge just out of Motueka.

The four riders stayed in front of the chasing peloton with Joel making his winning break entering Hill St to win in 3hr 53min 56sec with Brett second in 3hr 54min 16sec, just two seconds clear of Ari. “I could see that Joel had gone and the Team Skoda guys were sitting on the front and weren’t

going to chase him, so I knew I had to go,” Ari says.

“I’d felt pretty good on the hills so I went for it and managed to get across with the two other riders.

“We were together until Hill St and I attacked, but Joel just rolled over the top of me and took off.

But I was really pleased with third – that’s easily my best result against elite riders.”

Although Ari was surprised by his ride, he says he has “improved really quickly” since teaming up with UK-based coach Sam Lindsay.

“I used to do my own thing but now my training is more structured and scientific and it’s mak-

ing a difference.

“I’m also using a power meter now so I can train in the right zone, so it all helps.”

Ari, who was sponsored by Guytons and receives support from Village Cycles, won’t have any time to reflect on his success as he heads north this weekend for the 160km Round Taupo Cycle Challenge.

After that, he will be back into his own age group in the Junior Tour of Manawatu from December 9-10.

Nelson riders also featured in the age group results of Saturday’s race with Warrick Spence finishing fifth overall and winning

the silver category in 3hr 57min 15sec.

Seamus Ryan won the silverplus category in 4hr 1min 46sec while Niamh Fisher-Black won the junior girls race in 4hr 23min 11sec, with Jannine Blackmore of Christchurch the winning female in 4hr 17min 50sec.

Richmond’s Henry Jaine won the inaugural ITM Super TT Mountainbike race held in conjunction with the Abel Tasman Cycle Challenge, ahead of Waimea College student Cameron Jones.

Susie Wood won the women’s race which featured four laps around Silvan Forest Mountainbike Park.

It was a successful night’s racing for the local contingent in round two of the Hydralink “War of the Wings” Sprintcar Series.

Twenty-one cars fronted for the first of two rounds at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway, with Alicia MacLauchlan, Connor Rangi, Kris Gerard, Jason Smith and Greg Teece representing the Nelson club.

It was instant success with Smith winning the opening heat and Rangi finishing in 2nd - a great start for the night.

Top guns shoot in Nelson The New Zealand team outgunned the Australians to win the McGowan Trans-Tasman Trophy at the New Zealand Compak championships held at the Nelson Waimea Gun Club in Golden Downs over the weekend.

Brian Deadman, David Alley, Mark Vessey, Geoff Wells and Cullum Birch proved to be too accurate for Australia’s Brett Chambellant, Vinnie Vitale, Gino D’Angelo, Brent Suprain and Tony Connell in the trophy competition on Saturday. Shooting first, the Australian team dropped 20 points before the New Zealanders held their nerve,

The shoot had started earlier with the South Island North Zone Compak championships on Friday, with Geoff Wells recording the High Over All (HOA). Shooters from all around the country,

as well as Australia, were challenged by technical targets over four fields.

The champs concluded on Sunday when Brian recorded 192/200 to win the HOA. Brian received a shotgun from Beretta and ammunition from Eley for winning

the champs which were also sponsored by Hunting & Fishing New Zealand.

The club’s sporting convenor Paul Hedwig says that Brian’s score was an outstanding result on a technical field of targets which had been perfectly set-up by Nel-

son’s Chris Scully. Paul says the championships’ 84 shooters were all impressed with the field settings and the event’s smooth organisation.

It was the first time the New Zealand Compak championships had been held in Nelson.

Richmond Housing Choice

Sundial Sounds

We’re proposing to change our planning rules to encourage medium density housing in Richmond, close to the town centre.

Thursday 7 and 14 December 4.30 – 6.30pm, Sundial Square, Richmond Come on down to Sundial Square and hang out in the sun and listen to great music with DJ Ziggidy pumping out the chilled summer sounds.

The beanbags and giant games will be out, so grab some food or bring a picnic and come relax on the grass.

Reduced household sizes, changes in lifestyles and an ageing population and are resulting in an increased demand for small and compact properties. Changing to medium density residential housing allows greater choice of living opportunities and encourages more efficient use of land and infrastructure.

Find out more about the proposed changes and make a submission at www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback. Submissions close on Monday 27 November.

Free dog microchipping

The new national mobile emergency alerting system will be launched with a nationwide test on Sunday 26 November.

Once the test is over, we will only be using the system to alert people to serious threats to life, health or property.

This is an additional way to keep people safe in an emergency – the alerts are broadcast to phones in targeted areas using a dedicated channel so you don't have to subscribe to a service or download an app to receive them.

Just check whether your phone is capable of receiving them and uses the updated operating system for your make and model.

Draft Regional Pest Management Plan Open for Consultation Introduced pest animals and pest plants pose major challenges for our region. These pests affect our productive sector and natural ecosystems, destroying the habitat of native birds, animals and insects. The focus of the draft plan is on high-risk pests that are in the early stages of infestation as these make best use of the councils’ limited resources.

In most situations, the occupier is responsible for managing pests on their property. One of the changes in this draft plan is that Council staff will formally take responsibility for controlling two categories of pests (Exclusion Pests and Eradication Pests) as this is the most efficient way to deal with them.

Have your say: You can read the draft plan and make a submission online at www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback or in person at any Tasman District Council office.

Another round of land rezoning for Wakefield

Community Development Committee Council Chambers, 189 Queen Street, Richmond.

Thursday 7 December 2017, 9.30 am. Public forum

We are proposing a second round of zoning changes for Wakefield in response to community feedback.

The proposals are: • Re-zone some land on Bird Lane from rural to residential (deferred until infrastructure is in place) • Re-zone some land at Totara View Road from rural residential to rural • Re-zone some land at Higgins Road from rural to rural residential (deferred) • Specify the location for an indicative walkway between Genia Drive and Kilkenny Place.

Date: 17 December 2017 Location: Waimea River Activity: Slalom jet boat racing

These ideas were suggested in submissions on an earlier round of rezoning and rule changes for Wakefield, which were designed to manage likely population growth over the next 20 years. After carrying out more research and talking to those likely to be affected, we are ready to formally propose extra changes to the Tasman Resource Management Plan and invite your submissions.

More information, including details of special directions and authorisations made by the Harbourmaster for these events, is available at www.tasman.govt.nz/boating.
