Ducks found with throats slit at Saxton JO KENT
At least five Muscovy ducks have been discovered with their throats slit at Orphanage Stream in Saxton Field. A family from Stoke stumbled across the dead bodies on their evening stroll last week. The mum, who wishes to remain anonymous, says it was a horrific sight. “We just saw a pile of feathers and when we got closer could see they’d had their throats cut open. It had been done deliberately and that’s just not OK.” There were what looked like breadcrumbs close to the ducks, suggesting they had been lured to their deaths. “It’s disgusting behaviour,” the woman says. “There was a man there moving some of the dead ducks away so that children couldn’t see them. We go there with our kids all the time to feed them and it was sad for them to see that.” SPCA inspectorate team It had been done leader Jamie Hancock deliberately and says SPCA is deeply that’s just not OK concerned to hear about the incident and would like to hear from anyone who might have more information about those responsible. “Acts of violence towards defenceless animals are unacceptable and where evidence of the ill treatment of an animal is found, it could result in a $50,000 fine or 12 months’ imprisonment.” The ducks are a popular sight at the reserve and Lucie Bell, who regularly pops down to feed them, says this particular breed are extremely kind-natured and approachable. “Muscovy ducks are lovely and the ones at the stream are more than likely the result of people dumping them as opposed to being wild.

Sweet taste of baked success JO KENT Suzanne Elliston-Mcfarlane is here to add the icing on top of the revival in home baking that came with Covid lockdowns and home isolation. Suzanne has recently
launched a cupcake decorating workshop from her Sweetbites Wakefield shop. “I opened the shop three years ago and customers always ask if I could teach them the basics, so I just thought, ‘Why not?’, she says. The workshops are held in
store for groups of about six at a time. She teaches the basics of piping skills, using moulds and cutters to make fondant decorations and everything in between. “It’s such a fun night and most people who come
along have never tried anything like this before.” At the end of the night, people get six decorated cupcakes and a new set of skills to take home. “My next workshop has an

Mum made a Tongan dish, Lu, with taro leaves and lamb and coconut cream. The dish makes me miss Mum because no-one can make it like she did.

“Some have had their wing feathers cut, which people do to stop them flying away normally, so a lot of them are dumped.” The ducks are prolific breeders and will sit on 15 to 20 eggs at a time and hatch a lot of ducklings. “People end up with way too many birds too easily, so they see the stream and think they can get away with dumping them there.” Lucie is so appalled by the cruelty against them that she’s offered to rehome the remaining ducks on her own pond to keep them safe. “I’d be happy to help if I can.” Anyone with information about this incident or those involved is urged to call SPCA and follow the prompts to make a confidential complaint spca.nz/reportanimal-cruelty.

Easter theme and we’ll be decorating little bunny cupcakes which people can then practice at home in time for Easter.” As well as evening workshops, Suzanne has plans for hosting kids’ birthday parties where the children get to decorate their own cakes and cookies and get creative. “The parties offer the chance for kids to do something artistic while having fun and learning new skills at the same time. Their choice of theme can be anything from fairies to dinosaurs, so each party will be totally unique to them.” Suzanne and her family moved to Wakefield from the North Island in 2018. “We didn’t know a single person here. We came down to visit and stayed at the Wakefield Hotel and loved it. We met all the locals and everyone was just so friendly and made us feel at home and we thought it was just the best place.” The Easter workshop is Tuesday 29 March at 6.30pm. Tickets are $60 adult, $40 child from sweetbiteswakefield@gmail.com.

Mayday saving wedding dreams for couples Jenny nicholson with RnZ Last-minute positive tests for Covid-19 are creating nightmare scenarios for both wedding parties and vendors with some having to cancel just an hour before the ceremony. It is a situation that has prompted a new online tool to find last-minute replacements. Nelson’s Ana Galloway tested positive for Covid-19 an hour before she was due to photograph a wedding. Over the previous few months, she had spent time talking with the happy couple, learning what images they liked, and planning the photos for the day. “Finding out I had Covid just before the wedding was very upsetting, I was almost in tears and had to call them to let them know.” That could have been a nightmare scenario for a couple who had spent a lot of time planning the wedding of their dreams. However, luckily Ana was able to contact a friend who is also a wedding photographer, and she stepped in to take the photos. “Even though the couple understood, and my friend did a wonderful job, it was incred-

A Wellington couple saw how much disruption Omicron could be and came up with a solution. The solution is Mayday Wedding Planner, which enables photographers and other vendors to quickly find
a replacement if they get sick. “The community in New Zealand is really quite close so we’ve got a good network of people we can reach out to, but I knew this was something different,” founder Hemi Phillips says. “It was going to affect a lot of us and all at once, and I wasn’t sure those networks could cope.” There are now more than 300 wedding vendors signed up, covering every part of the country including Nelson Tasman. Already, Mayday has saved the day for about 40 couples. Omicron is also hitting local wedding venues. “It’s been reasonably drastic,” The Playhouse’s Nic Roland says. “It’s super difficult.” Their calendar was booked with almost weekly weddings prior to moving to the red traffic light setting. Some rescheduled and some opted for a smaller ceremony at home. Even the few that did go ahead were 20 to 50 per cent smaller than planned. “Where people had paid a deposit and then had the wedding at home, we offered catering.” He says from May onwards things will be busy, so long as we move to Orange.

Covid testing keeps elderly safe Jenny nicholson

First kākāriki karaka fledgling for sanctuary KATe RUssell The first kākāriki karaka fledgling has hatched and been sighted inside the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary, just months after the rare breed was released in the area. This is the first successful breeding event for the kākāriki karaka (orange-fronted parakeet) in the Nelson area since they went extinct locally 100 years ago. With just 400 birds estimated to be left in the wild, the species is the rarest mainland forest bird in Aotearoa. With the support of the Department of Conservation (DOC), the first 20 birds were translocated into the sanctuary in November 2021, with further releases in December and January - a total of 64 birds. The fledgling was spotted by a volunteer during nest monitoring and was reported to be healthy and well developed. It is estimated to have left its nest only two days prior. Sanctuary chief executive, Ru Collin, says that the sighting indicates that the birds have adjusted well.

Vigilant rapid antigen testing at one local care facility has picked up 14 Covid-19 positive cases in staff, visitors and contractors. The staff at Ernest Rutherford are carrying out about 160 RAT tests each day, testing everyone coming onsite to visit or work with those in the rest home, hospital and special care unit. “RAT tests are a fantastic tool to keep people safe,” says Ryman Healthcare spokesperson David King. He says many people are unaware they have Covid-19 and RAT testing means those who test positive can be turned away before any contact with residents. Routine surveillance is also carried out on care residents each week, and to date, none have tested positive. David says it’s important that they keep balancing safety with well-being. They are continuing to allow compassionate visits and that is where RAT testing is

room is thoroughly cleaned between visits.” Oakwoods manager Andrew Morrison says their RAT testing has also picked up people who have Covid-19. They test all staff daily before work. “It’s a huge effort for the clinical team,” Andrew says. “It is a burden to the staff but one they are happy to bear because of their concern for the residents.” He says testing is also a reas-
surance to families, many of whom are quite worried. Their care facility also remains Covid-free to date. Wensley House general manager Jude Dellebeke says all visitors have their temperature checked and, if it is elevated, a RAT test is performed. All visitors to the rest home are required to make an appointment and are screened verbally. While they have increased outings for enjoyment, they have asked residents not to shop at supermarkets and are having staff shop for them. Stillwater Lifecare and Village manager Stephanie Murch says their staff are also testing prior to coming to work each day. Visits to residents in the rest home are by appointment and are kept to half an hour to avoid overcrowding. RAT tests are not performed routinely, but those they have done have not picked up any Covid-19 positive cases.
Murchison volunteers had a busy 24 hours Jenny nicholson The siren was busy at the Murchison Volunteer Fire Brigade last week, with the crew attending three calls in 24 hours. An average week sees the fire crew attend just one event, but over Thursday and Friday last week they were called to a medical event,
a fire flare up in a rubbish hole, and a vegetation fire in the Matiri Valley. Both the Murchison and Lake Rotoiti crew attended the vegetation fire in Matiri Valley after a call was logged just after 1.30pm on Friday, 18 March. On arrival they confirmed the fire was going up the hill, with flames visible.
Fire and Emergency NZ shift manager, Lyn Crosson, says at that stage a helicopter was sent to assist. At 3pm the crews were still in attendance, continuing to work on hot spots to ensure there were no flare-ups. Lyn says there was burning in the undergrowth. The final crews left at 8.30pm leaving things in the hands
of the property owner. Crew from Lake Rotoiti were back the next day, joining the helicopter crew to scan perimeters to check there were no further flare ups. Lyn says they don’t know how the fire started, but it covered three hectares before being brought under control.

What one lonely girl can do JENNy NiCholSoN When Nelson’s Kara-Shay Manson put a post on Facebook asking if anyone her age was looking to make friends, she hoped for a couple of responses. Instead, within a day she had 100 replies. Following a sexual assault in 2018, Kara-Shay withdrew from the world. “It shut me off from the world and I wasn’t in a position to make friends,” Kara-Shay says. “It impacts friendships and trust diminished in the process. It’s been a hectic, rough few years.” Having grown up in Auckland, and shifting to Nelson not long before the assault, she hadn’t had many opportunities to make friends. Now, four years on, she feels ready to grab hold of life and reach out and wants female friends in a similar age group. Before posting, she thought she was just an outsider and that other girls her age would have friends. “I totally didn’t think others felt the same way,” she says. Rather than just answer a few people, Kara-Shay decided to do something to help herself and others feeling like she was. After the huge response to her initial post, she set up a Facebook group, ‘One less lonely girl
Following an assault KaraShay withdrew from society. Four years on she is ready to make friends again and has reached out and found many others with similar stories. Photo: Supplied. – Nelson Tasman.’ Finishing setting it up at 12.30am Sunday morning, she went to bed not thinking anyone would respond overnight. When she woke up, she had 80 responses and by early afternoon 130 women had joined the group. Kara-Shay is very open about the assault she experienced. Despite police getting DNA from the rape kit the night of the attack, the perpetrator has not been found.
As she has shared her story, others who have contacted her have told of their similar experiences. “It happens a lot, but isn’t spoken about,” she says. “It’s heart-breaking that when I do tell my story so many others feel the same.” The Facebook group is private and while anyone can ask to join, Kara-Shay asks certain questions before they are approved. She wants to know they live in Nelson, that they are in the 20 to 29 age range, why they want to join, and that they are female. “We are keeping it private so that it stays a safe space and preserves privacy of the people in the group,” she says. “I want people to ask advice, make recommendations and have no fear of judgement.” Kara-Shay is hoping to organise an in-person event soon. “Maybe a picnic at Rabbit Island so we can all mix and get to know each other.” She says that from feeling very isolated, she now has contact with a group of girls who want to support each other. “I didn’t have that yesterday. Today I do,” she says. “That’s very profound.”
WEDNESDAY 23 March 2022 Parent & Child Expo cancelled
The Nelson Parent & Child Expo has been cancelled due to the ongoing red traffic light restrictions. It was due to happen in April at Founders Heritage Park and event manager Shelley Haring says it was a heart-breaking decision, especially as the 2020 Expo was cancelled due to the first Covid lockdown and the 2021 was postponed three times. Tickets will be refunded in full.

Hamish’s journey from immobility to walking 10km SARA HOLLYMAN A Nelson man who, just a few years ago, did not have the use of his legs, is gearing up to walk 10km in support of his friend’s cancer journey. Hamish Kennedy says he was a severe alcoholic when the left and right sides of his brain stopped talking to each other, causing him to lose the ability to walk or use his legs at all. Four years ago he joined Nelson’s City Fitness where he met manager Odette Watson, a person he says is an inspiration to himself and others and helped him with his journey to get his body working again. “I drank an awful lot but then I started going to the gym, where I met Odette who is just so inspirational.” Not only was Odette a strong support to get Hamish walking again, she also began her own battle after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year. “I was really tired and not well for about a year but I thought it was just stress,” Odette says. Then she noticed that her nipple had inverted so went and got it checked immediately. At the time of the appointment she was told she had breast cancer.
Odette Watson and Hamish Kennedy will take part in Relay for Life next month. Photo: Sara Hollyman. “They knew straight away, it was a shock and then I had to teach a class immediately afterwards, it wad the hardest class I’ve ever taught. It was pretty surreal.” Odette opted to have her whole breast removed, a decision that ultimately saved her from radia-
tion and chemotherapy, as it was caught early on. Odette, Hamish and the CityFity team will join the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, walking in pairs for six hours around the fields at Tāhunanui Reserve on Saturday, 2 April.
Hamish says he’s going to walk 10km in support of his friend. Using a shopping trolley for support, he hopes it will encourage the local supermarket to sponsor him. Hamish spent many years fundraising for Hospice and jokes that
he always looked at Relay for Life as competition, but his friendship with Odette and the journey she is going through has given him a new view of the fundraiser. Hamish says going to the gym for two hours, twice a day has changed his life. This is not the first time Odette has participated in Relay for Life, previously stepping up to support friends and family. However, this year she’s doing it to say thankyou to Nelson’s Cancer Society who supported through the journey. “I don’t think I would’ve got through it without them.” She says she gets emotional thinking about the fundraising support they have had so far. “I’m very thankful for the support of the Cancer Society, they connected me with a lot of other networks that helped me including physio and counselling.” While Odette’s cancer is gone, she says she is still coming to terms with the bosy she has been left with. “I can look at my chest now, at first I couldn’t, but it’s still not me, it’s numb and just not me, but I’m very grateful.” To donate to Odette and the Cityfity team visit www.relayforlife. org.nz/t/cityfity

End of Story: Final facts from some of our articles... Inferno destroys local man’s plane 26 May 2021 Jason Deer’s plane was destroyed in a fire last May. The journey to buy and fly a replacement aircraft has taken months, but he is finally due for his first flight in his Maule M5-235. He bought the plane last year just as lockdown struck. The plane sat in Tauranga for three months, not arriving in Nelson until November. “It had a few issues and rectifying those took time,” Jason says. Now, with work done and a fresh medical following recent heart surgery, he’s due to take to the skies again. During the time he was grounded, Jason also bought a jet boat and says his love of flying and jet boating is on a par now. “Now we can see places from road, sky and river,” Jason says. “Each has a different perspective.” Clive’s research mission has worldwide impact 2 March 2022 The first Clive knew the article about his ride was in the Waimea Weekly was when someone from America read it online and contacted him. Clive was due to ride around the Top of the South to raise money for research to help those with MMN, a rare neurological condition that affects motor function in hands, arms, and feet. He has since completed the 1,125 km ride, taking 11 days with 77 hours riding. His longest day was 9 hours 50 minutes. By the end of the ride Clive was unable to change gears on his bike, as his hand weakened to the worst it has been since he started treatment three years ago. It’s all been worth it for Clive as he has personally raised $5,000 US, with more to come, and with spin-off events and donations the total looks to be about $70,000 US. This is before Clive auctions a cricket bat the ANZ donated. The bat is signed by the Black Caps and will be auctioned off in the next few weeks. Clive hasn’t only raised money for research into the condition, he has connected with the wider community of those with rare diseases. He says they are telling him they are inspired that maybe they can do more than they are doing. “They are asking where the experts are to come up with a training programme so they can do more?”
Talking love, war and movies Jo Kent
It’s taken two years, but internationally best-selling Nelson author Christine Leunens is scheduled to give an author talk at Richmond Library next week. Christine is the author of Caging Skies, which is the book adapted to the screenplay for the Academy Award-winning film Jojo Rabbit. Since its first publication in 2004, Caging Skies has been translated into over 20 languages. Libraries manager Glennis Coote says the event has been months in the planning. “We’ve had to postpone since March 2020 thanks to Covid, so it’s our pleasure – finally - to welcome Christine for this special talk on her latest novel.” Christine will be talking about her most recent book, In Amber’s Wake, which is being made into a film by Mimi Polk Gitlin, the producer of Academy Award-winning film Thelma & Louise. “An important theme in In Amber’s Wake is the anti-nuclear movement, and the atrocities that nuclear testing caused people in the Pacific, and in the world in general,” Christine says. “Its Cold War setting, making

Photo: Supplied. mention of the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan on the Eve of Christmas 1979, has eerie echoes with Russia’s shocking invasion of Ukraine and once again that angst being felt all around the world from Putin’s nuclear threats.” Christine says that after writing Caging Skies, which focused on World War II, she kept dwelling on how Hitler had been working on the nuclear bomb, and how the Americans were racing to get to it before he did, then the Soviets were on to it, too.
“I felt there was something relevant and important to today, and started researching Greenpeace pioneers in New Zealand,” Christine says. In Amber’s Wake is set in 1980s New Zealand during the tumultuous era of the anti-nuclear movement, Springbok rugby tour protests, and the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior. Bookings are essential for the free talk, which starts at 6.30pm on Thursday 31 March. Call 03 543 8500 or email library@tasman. govt.nz to book your spot.

WEDNESDAY 23 March 2022
Randall’s career from paper bag to canvas Jenny nicholson Randall Froude says art is simply a tool that God is using to open doors to ‘divine appointments’ with people. While he is surrounded by art, he says it’s the conversations that his pictures start that are most precious to him. “A painting is simply a trigger factor to a story that is already in the viewer’s mind.” At 91, his eyesight isn’t as good as it was and makes painting more difficult. However, it doesn’t hinder his new project, putting together ‘Beyond the Easel’, a book that features his art. There’s a sense of urgency to get this book published. A recent trip to hospital revealed clots in Randall’s
lungs. He was discharged to hospice outpatient care with the news that a clot could move to his heart and cause a cardiac arrest at any time. His book has been years in the making. A seed was sewn years ago, with students often saying he should collate his art into a book. “I’m dyslexic and a book frightened me,” Randall says. Dyslexia wasn’t’ understood 75 years ago, and people at school thought Randall was stupid. It didn’t help that he went to 11 primary schools. “Dad had no qualification and when we couldn’t meet the rent, we had to move on.” Randall didn’t ever go to high school, but at 13 he went to art school and from there he says he was in his element. After art school he
worked as a commercial artist creating adverts for businesses, including Tip Top and Watties. “Back then, being an artist wasn’t something to live by,” he says. “It was something little old ladies did.” Sitting by the fire one night, he did a sketch on a paper bag. Looking at it he thought it had potential. He worked on it, mounted it, and sold it at a Titirangi Coffee shop for about half a week’s salary. That was the first picture he sold and was the springboard for a long and satisfying career. “That did something for me,” Randall says. “I kept doing simple stuff and it sold so I worked a day less a week, then another day and then didn’t go back to work at all.”
He’s had much success in his career. A few years back he bought some test pots at Resene and painted a French café scene on his dining room wall. He took the photo to the local Resene shop, they sent it on to head office, and Randall’s painting was sent to 150,000 people to advertise their paint. He was also invited to exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, has painted in 13 countries around the world and has taught about 4000 students. ‘Beyond the Easel’ will feature a painting on one page, with a thought or question on the facing page. “It won’t be grammatically correct,” Randall says. “That’s not me. It will be words to invite the reader to look deeper at the picture.
Community vaccination helps hospital staff The impact of Covid-19 on staffing levels at Nelson Hospital has been minimal, according to Nelson Marlborough Health. As of 14 March, the total workforce leave percentage for sick leave, including pandemic leave, across Nelson and Wairau Hospitals was 5.2 per cent. This is down slightly from 5.5 per cent the previous week. Nelson Marlborough Health chief executive Lexie O’Shea says, to date, both hospitals have been “fortunate”. “Our high levels of community vaccination have helped protect our patients and staff. We have been able to sustain planned care and provide safe critical care. Our response is working well on a day-to-day basis.” She says the number of staff absent due to Covid-19 fluctuates regularly and can be challenging to identify accurately.

Rachel Boyack MP for Nelson
We know Kiwis are feeling the pinch at the pump, as a result of the price spikes caused by the war in Ukraine. Last week we took action to ease some of that pressure by cutting fuel tax by 25 cents a litre. While we can’t control global events, we can control how we support New Zealanders. We're also halving the cost of public transport for three months, starting 1 April.

Opinion
WEDNESDAY 23 March 2022
Opinion I don’t know how much interest there is in canals in the UK. Many were closed and allowed to fall into disrepair a century or so ago. Now many are being opened again to allow more pleasure craft (narrow boats) to use them. I recently saw, on YouTube, a piece about the Gloucester/Stroud canal, that because a railway line had been built over a small bridge, the bridge needed to be made larger to accommodate boats and a tow path. This meant closing the railway for a time, while the old bridge and embankments were removed and two large, prefabricated sections put in place and the railway line re-instated. This took place at Christmas 2020. The rail line was closed after the last train on Christmas Eve and Re-opened 48 hours later in time for the
first train at 3.30am. Compare this with the 2 years it is going to take the works at Stoke! The new bridge is about the same size as the one being built on Main Road Stoke. They did have modern machinery to help them, not just one ancient crane! Peter In New Zealand we were all shocked at the incredibly high number of daily cases of Covid-19 reported from countries like the UK, the USA and India. This was particularly so in the first week of 2022 when Omicron was rampant. It was with disbelief that we heard of the incredibly high numbers of cases in the USA. A shocking 904,488 cases on the 13th January this year being the worst single Covid day in the USA. Yet no one seems
Have your say: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz facebook.com/waimeaweekly to be aware as to how our own NZ Covid cases now compare to these unbelievable large numbers in the USA. At the time of writing, our own NZ cases have been averaging about 20,000 a day for the last 2 weeks. So how do our own recent NZ figures compare to America’s? To compare like with like we have to allow for the large difference in population. Keeping the figures simple, the USA has 330 million people, which is 66 times as many as NZ’s 5 million. To compare like for like, we need to divide the USA’s worst daily figures (904,488) by 66. This comes out at 13,700 Covid American cases each day. So, NZ’s 20,000 daily cases are almost one and a half times larger than the very worst day in America. We were astonished at the number of daily cases in the
Supporting Kiwis with the cost of living
America, yet ours by comparison are much, much worse. More than half as bad again! For our size of population I believe we have the worst number of Covid cases of any country in the world by quite a long way. We have been patting ourselves on the back for the way we have handled Covid for most of the last two years, but noone wants to own up to, nor take responsibility for, the chronically high number of Covid cases we have right now. Why haven’t our politicians recognised this, and our media too? Alan Mathews
RACHeL bOyACk Since coming into Government, we’ve worked hard to support low and middle income Kiwis. Last week, we took another step to make things a bit easier, in light of the additional pressure families are feeling as a result of the Ukraine invasion. The war in Ukraine has caused a global energy crisis that is being felt across New Zealand. I know this price spike has been tough for many in Nelson, especially those on lower incomes. While we can’t control global events, we can control the support we provide New Zealanders. That’s why we’ve taken action. We’ve cut petrol excise duty by 25 cents a litre for three months, to make filling up a 40-litre tank more than $11 cheaper. Those filling up a 60-litre tank will be seeing more than $17 of savings. Soon we’ll also announce equivalent reductions in road user charges. From 1 April it will be cheaper for people who catch a bus.

mond to Nelson will only cost adults paying with cash $1.70 rather than $3.50, and those paying with a Bee Card $1.40, rather than $2.80. These initiatives are part of our broader programme to reduce cost pressures, which includes a range of changes that will lift the incomes of many Kiwis from 1 April. Increases to Working for Families will see around 60 per cent of all families better off by an average of $20 per week. Students, seniors, minimum wage workers and those on benefits will also see an income boost. From 1 May, many Kiwis, including seniors, will be eligible for the Winter Energy Payment to help with energy costs over winter. There’s no silver bullet for the current cost-of-living pressures, but these measures will make a difference. They build on actions we’ve taken since 2017 to ensure Kiwi families have more in their pocket, like the family tax credit, free school lunches, and cheaper doctors’ fees. As your MP, I’m committed to securing a recovery from Covid that leaves no one behind – and supporting families with the cost of living is just one way we’re making that a reality.

Students tackle jobs at Beebys Hut
WEDNESDAY 23 March 2022

NEW LISTING
Jo Kent The kids at Lake Rotoiti School carried out their first repair and maintenance trip to Beebys Hut in Mt Richmond Forest Park last week, after the Department of Conservation granted them stewardship back in September. Principal Mike Allen says he had a list of tasks from DoC and hopes the children will be able to go at least twice a year. “We’re teaching children how to be socially responsible, and we’re also giving them an opportunity to look after a part of our community that doesn’t get a lot of maintenance done on it.” The entire school of 15 children, aged 6 to 12, two teachers and a handful of parents, hopped into 4WD vehicles and made the trek up to the hut along with two DoC rangers. Office manager, Dominique McCrostie, says that as the hut sits approximately 1310m above sea level, it was a fair climb to get there. “We even stopped halfway up and got out to take a photo to record just how high we were getting.” Once at the top, the children were given their maintenance tasks. This included washing windows, wiping surfaces, stacking firewood, collecting rubbish and even cleaning the toilet. “The kids went about their jobs with enthusiasm and smiles, taking ownership of the site and even asking for more to do.” She says that after the work was

They also taught the children how to recognise pest plants. Following a five-minute official bird count that DoC will keep a record of, and the school will
do again on their next trip, the children were given another mission. “They were tasked with spotting and removing pest species of plants on the walk back down to school,” Dominique says. “This was done with much gusto which slowed the trip home significantly, and the children were very proud to present their victims to DoC on arrival.” The next excursion will include an overnight stay and will happen at the end of Term 4.

They were demonstrating to try and raise awareness of the important work allied health workers do, often behind the scenes, in New Zealand’s health sector. Currently, PSA is in facilitation talks with the district health boards through the Employment Relations Authority trying to negotiate better wages for their allied health worker members, who PSA claims are undervalued and underpaid. The demonstration was not a strike, with many of PSA’s allied health workers showing up during their lunch break.

Local History exploring our
Proudly brought to you by...
How Richmond got its final resting place Robyn PaRkes In 1856, discussions were held concerning a burial place for Richmond. Up to this time, most deceased were taken to the town cemetery. In May of 1856 it was confirmed that a block of land had been purchased and was open to all to use for payment of a small fee. Residents were kept up to date on the progress of the cemetery land and opening, through articles in the newspaper. Six acres were purchased and was described as being a gentle slope overlooking the Waimea Plains. Funds were raised for the grounds to be “tastefully” laid out should afford a pleasant promenade. The property was vested in trustees in perpetuity to ensure there would be no fears of the possible violation of the resting place of
the dead. William Cleaver, aged 33, was the first to be buried in the cemetery, which occurred in August of 1856. In one corner, an oak tree was donated and planted by a Mr Lee, a gentleman who was engaged in gathering a collection of native birds to take to England. Mr Lee lived in Dorset Street and grew the oak in his garden. On leaving for England, he presented it to Richmond and it was planted out by Mr Joseph Hammond. Mr Lee sailed for England but never arrived as the ship he sailed on was lost. Rules were set for the use of the cemetery. Plots were able to be purchased for 5 shillings per square yard, payable at the time of selection, and the sexton could not dig the grave until payment had been made.
The Richmond Cemetery site. Photo: Supplied. Graves would be a minimum of 9 feet by 4 feet with each plot being staked off. In 1872, a small chapel costing £70 was built on the cemetery grounds and was the first occasion in the province that the powers of the 9th clause of the “Public Cemeteries Act 1859”, which allowed trustees to erect such a building, were used.
It was noted at this time that the cemetery was prettily planted, well laid out, and kept with an amount of care not always directed in this part of the world to the preservation of the receptacles of the dead. The creditable condition of the cemetery was in a great measure due to Mr. Thompson, one of the trustees, on whom the chief trou-
ble of management had always fallen. Unfortunately, in 1893, it was noted to be in a disgraceful state. A Richmond resident, who penned a letter to the papers and signed himself, “everything in order”, described his dismay. It was the custom to mow the lawns at least once a year and give the place a general tidy up, but apparently even this had not been done. The result was that the place was so overgrown with rank cocksfoot grass, broom, fennel, and briers that in some areas it was almost impossible to find any grave at all. If wet, one would get wet up to the knees. We can be thankful that today the cemetery is beautifully kept and provides a peaceful setting to visit our deceased.

Look after your mates this Roar
“The Roar is the highlight of the hunting calendar and for some people it’s bigger than Christmas,” says GAC General Manager Tim Gale. “While we really encourage hunters to get out and enjoy it, we also want to remind them of the simple things they can do to stay safe and look after their mates. “Hunting parties need to make sure they are adequately prepared before they head away. This means making suitable plans based on a reliable weather forecast, leaving accurate intentions, carrying a distress beacon or oth-
er emergency communication device and ensuring everyone in the party has the right food, clothing and equipment for New Zealand’s changeable conditions. “Looking after your mates also means taking into account the level of experience and fitness of those in your party, and making sure everyone is involved in trip decision-making and is comfortable with the plans being made.” Firearm safety is always important and is absolutely essential during the Roar when there are likely to be more people around. “Even if you are hunting alone, you must assume that other hunters will be in the area so identify your target beyond all doubt,” says Gale. “If you and your mates are bush hunting, it is a good idea to wear blaze. Deer can’t see the colour so it won’t impact your

About 100 fish were added to the Sport Fishing for Youth Trust’s ponds last week. Averaging over 1.5kg each, the majority of the new fish were added to the larger pond. The middle pond did not receive any new fish because of algae and weeds. The Sports fishing for Youth Trust’s ponds are located inside the Waimea river perm park at Appleby and are filled
with trout and salmon. While catching a fish isn’t a guarantee (60-90 per cent of anglers bag a catch on open days), information on how to get there can be found on their website www.youthfishing. org.nz. Fishers are required to be between 5 and 17 years old, should have a fishing licence and are permitted to catch one fish per day, catch or release. Use of the ponds is restricted to the Trust and authorised groups from 1 April until the end of May.

Carpet Plus
Wilson Decorators Can you still paint exteriors in the winter? Throughout winter it is still possible to do exterior painting – but it has to be managed more carefully. We are still weather reliant – on finer days, start a little later in the morning once surfaces have dried off, and finish earlier in the afternoons to allow enough drying time before evening dampness falls. Why is my paint cracking/peeling? Usually because it hasn’t been prepped properly. Done correctly, prepping is sometimes almost 80% of the job and has to be done right or it can be time-
wasting. Or possibly, the wrong type of paint has been used. Can you paint over old paint with any type of paint? No. Firstly, establish what type of paint was used previously. If it’s acrylic, then use acrylic over the top. If it’s oil based, then use oil base over the top or firstly apply a coat of sealer that has etching & binding properties for acrylic paint. Almost everyone thinks they can paint but not everyone can achieve a satisfactory, professional result. Do it once - do it right!
Painters Painters
Can you help with colour coordinating carpet, vinyl and curtains? Definitely. We find that once something is chosen, e.g., paint colour, kitchen colours, it’s generally simple from there! We really enjoy putting colours together that the customer will be happy with. Wool or synthetic carpet? It’s a very personal choice. Some people like the natural textured appearance of wool, while others like the easy care, long warranties of synthetics. What type of underlay should I have? We recommend NZ-made Dunlop un-
derlay and use 11mm as our standard for its comfort and durability. Should I have thermal or lined curtains? Again, a personal choice. Thermal tends to be more cost-effective, but there are more fabric choices if you go with a lined curtain. What is the difference between sun block and filter blinds? Sun filter allows you to see out while adding some privacy and a blockout completely darkens a room which can help with sleeping.

What are good vegetables for beginners to grow in April? Easy planting in April are all of the winter brassicas such as cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, silverbeet etc. Many herbs and vegetables can be grown in pots especially pick and eat type salad vegetables. Even if you have a dedicated vege patch, it’s still worth growing some extras in pots too, near the house for easy picking. What bulbs should I plant in April? Spring bulbs suitable for pots are anem-
one, ranunculus hyacinths, crocus, daffodils, freesias and of course daffodils. Tulips are in store now as well! Plant in well-drained potting mix with the tips of the bulbs just below the surface. Is it OK to plant shrubs in April? The best time of year to plant a tree or shrub is in the autumn. Planting in Autumn ensures that root systems can be established before winter truly arrives and the plant will be ready to produce new growth and flowers all summer long!

Play-based learning a hit with teachers and children Jenny nicholson Learning looks more like play for five-year-olds at Brightwater School. They are learning through play, with principal Glenda Earle saying that it teaches creativity and is fundamental in growing intelligence. She says play-based learning lets children explore their interests and passions. “When children are able to take their time and make multiple attempts before achieving success, they build resilience and other important skills needed later in life,” Glenda says. This learning extends across the curriculum - from finding out about a science concept to having to measure, compare or count in a maths context. “The children love to explore a range of activities and extend their interests in various aspects,” she says. “The flow-on effect means they are engaged in learn-

the end of year. To support this, a second new entrant teacher will start in the open plan learning space in Term 2. Glenda says the first priority for new entrant students is for them to settle into school.

working to keep consistency and routine for students as some have time isolating with Covid-19 or as household contacts. The school offers support to families needing to isolate by providing home learning, both digital and hard-pack material. They even offer to do grocery shops for those who didn’t have an opportunity to stock the pantry. Glenda says there has been an increase in Covid-19 this week. Fatigue and gastro symptoms seem to be the first sign of Covid-19 in students at Brightwater School. Students and staff at school are divided into three areas to keep a degree of separation. While there is currently one staff member with Covid-19 and another isolating, the school is managing well. Glenda says there is more talk about Covid among students, but that is natural with them talking about their experience after isolating. “They are quite open and talk quite freely when they return to school.”

New door needed Jo Kent
Margie Silich and Pat Lithgow need a new door for the Book Tardis. Photo: Jo Kent.
The Book Tardis on Ellis Street in Brightwater is in need of a new door after suffering water damage, causing it to bow around the edges. Volunteer Pat Lithgow says it’s been like it for a while because it’s proving impossible to find a replacement. “External doors are like hens’ teeth at the moment. They just seem to be in short supply.” The original ply door needs replacing with a solid timber door, such as an old front door, with minimum measurements of 685mm by 1865mm. “We’re hoping that someone may have something laying around in an old shed that they could pass our way.

The Tardis has proved successful since it was established last March. Tardis supervisor Margie Silich says it’s a valuable community asset. “It seems like a lot of children have experienced the joy of having this facility, and we always need kid’s books and puzzles along with adult novels and biographies.” She asks that people don’t leave magazines and cookbooks as they don’t seem to be as popular with readers. “We just ask that you leave it in a tidy state and use the cartons on the floor so that it remains accessible for everyone.” If you think you could help with the door replacement, call 03 542 2099.
Snowden’s Bush meeting The Friends of Snowden’s Bush group, which was set up last year after the land was bought by the public and gifted back to the Department of Conservation, is having their next community engagement meeting on Thursday 7 April at 7pm in the Brightwater School hall. New volunteers of all ages are welcome. The aim of the group is to involve the local community in the guardianship of the area by protecting and maintaining the land.

Lochy racing for seat in Euro big leagues Jack MalcolM Lochy McGregor’s dream of being a professional racing driver came one step closer earlier this month. The 14-year-old was selected as one of the top 51 young drivers in the world to compete for the FIA Karting Academy Trophy in Europe. He is just the third New Zealand racer to be selected for the prestigious global academy series. Lochy is now following in the footsteps of 16-year-old Jacob Douglas, who now drives professionally in the US, and 14-year-old Louis Sharp, who has just signed with a Formula 4 race team in the UK. “I want to be an Indy Car Champion and follow in the footsteps of Scott McLaughlin and Scott
Dixon,” Lochy says. The series sees competitors, aged between 12 and 14, racing karts drawn at random, with engines also swapped at random between races to ensure the focus is on driver talent. With three rounds in Belgium, Italy and France, Lochy has to raise $80,000 to see his dreams become a reality. Along with flights and accommodation, entry fees for each race can top $5000, and they also need to hire an engineer who specialises in karts. “Mum and dad have put so much work in, and they’ve had to sacrifice so much to get here,” Lochy says. He says his sporting idol is Lewis Hamilton because his talent on the track saw him succeed despite
not growing up with much financial support. That humbleness is something Lochy wants to incorporate into his journey, saying you can be a good person and a good driver, but “you still can’t let someone bully you around”. “You need to believe in yourself, know you can beat them and remember where you come from,” he says. “It’s really hard to get yourself on the world stage from somewhere like New Zealand.” This year, Lochy raced in the North Island’s WPKA Goldstar series and is sitting first equal on the overall points standings with one round remaining, having
won the Wellington Grand Prix. He plans to compete in the final round of the development series in Hawkes Bay and race in the WPKA Championships in Manawatu, which fall between his European racing dates. Lochy got into the sport just five years ago when his dad took him to a have-a-go day at the local club, saying he had always looked up to his father’s past as a kart racer. “I’ve been in love with it since.” Over the years, he’s seen his racing ability quickly improve, but said it can be hard while he’s still growing to make it all come together. “The taller you are, the more you
can move around the car (with your weight). “When I first got in (my new kart) I could barely turn it. . . It’s definitely something you get used to over time.” People often think of racing as an individual sport, but Lochy says there’s a whole team of people in his corner helping to get him out onto the track. His potential is clear, with the world’s most successful female karter Tiffany Chittenden and 13-time New Zealand Sprint champion Matthew Hamilton offering their coaching and helping with his kart. “I definitely wouldn’t be where I am without them.”

Surprise Kingies ANDREA FENSOM Back in December we set off nice and early to go for a snapper fish out in the bay. I was quite excited as I haven’t caught a decent snapper in some time. The sea was a bit lumpy and, as usual, not quite what was forecast! We headed out to our spot and proceeded to burley-up and put down the lines in the hope of a good snapper. After a while my rod went off. I was thinking that this was not looking like a snapper, and I started to wind it in while the fish was pulling off a good lot of line. Hubby said it looks like a kingfish so yeah, I will take that! After about 15 minutes of this fish pulling off line and me winding it back, it was finally at the boat. A nice kingie measuring at 83cm so okay to take home. Especially as the snapper weren’t biting. I put down my bait again and
waited for elusive snapper and my rod went off again. Another kingie! This one decided it was okay to go around the anchor rope and then it busted off. By this time I had given it to our son to deal with as I knew it was going to be a problem fish. A few minutes later my rod went off again! Another kingie – it appeared that I was the only one catching decent fish that morning. We had a friend on the boat who had not ever caught a kingie, so I handed him the rod and he pulled it in with a big smile on his face. It was nice to let someone else have the fun of pulling in a decent size fish, especially as I already had my fish to measure for the Dawnbreakers club. No snapper that morning, but one has to be happy with hooking up three kingfish in one morning. All in all a successful morning on the water.

Bronco bucks Tapawera swimming record Jack MalcolM A 28-year-old record has fallen at Tapawera Area School’s annual house swimming competition. Bronco Kennett-MacDonald finished close to breaking several records throughout the day before swimming the 50m backstroke in 59.10 seconds. The swim broke the 10–11-year-old boys’ record that David Hillerby had held since 1994. Tapawera Area School acting principal Angela Sloane said she wanted to congratulate the young swimmer on breaking the long-standing record by more than a second. “What an outstanding achievement,” she says. “I would also like to thank all of the staff over the years for keeping these records.” Bronco says he didn’t even know his swim was recordbreaking until after the event. “I knew that I had won, but I wasn’t sure of the time. It felt

his record had stood, but had always thought that his brother was the better swimmer of the family. “It is good to know that my time has lasted this long. Hopefully, Bronco, you will get an email in 30 years’ time telling you your record has just been broken, and it will bring back good memories of school sports for you, too.” Teacher and event organiser Stephen Haunch says despite untraditional overcast weather and Covid-19 restrictions, the event was a resounding success. He says that Kiana Collins, Sam Hatton, Kasey Mitchell and Matthew Koerve were all stand-out performers. The event concluded with the domination of the boys and girls relay by the Motupiko House, ahead of Tadmor and Baton. Stephen says the result reflected the overall house competition, in which Motupiko comfortably won participation and performance.
Botanics. ACOB are just one win away from an unbeaten summer and will come into the final with the winds in their sails after an impressive season of hard ball dominance. Stoke-Nayland captain Dylan Eginton said they were under no illusions that they’ll have their backs against the wall on Saturday. “Our job will be to come in and spoil the party. . . they’ll be the favorites
but we won’t make it easy.” The key for Stoke-Nayland this weekend would be playing to their game plan and not letting ACOB take over, he said. “Runs on the board will be key, we need to make sure we don’t get bogged down by their slower bowlers. Dylan said they had struggled all season to get their strongest squad out on a Saturday, but the back end of the season had been “coming together nicely”. “There’s going to be a few tough selection decisions this weekend. We’ll put a pretty good side out.” That outlook contrasts with the ACOB squad, who have lost several of their star players like the Zohrab twins, Thomas and David, who have returned to university.

WAIMEA OLD BOYS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Waimea Rugby JAB Registration Open Now
Senior B's and Colts ready to go head to head
Clap your boots together and give your mouthguard a quick rinse.. Rugby is coming!
Once again Waimea are fielding two teams in the Division 2 competition this year - Waimea ‘B’s and Waimea Colts, with the Colts largely made up of younger players. The main objective of both teams is to have fun, but they’ll also both be fiercely competitive on game day. Both of these teams also provide important injury back
up to our Div.1 men’s side. If you are keen to lace up the boots in 2022, come down to Jubilee Park and have a run.
Women's team looking to go one further in 2022 Waimea Rugby Club has the largest contingent of junior rugby teams in the region and this year we will have 15 teams ranging from U6 to U14. Our players come from all over the Tasman and Nelson regions, including Wakefield, Brightwater, Richmond, Hope, Mapua, Stoke and Nelson. Many of them are 3rd and 4th generation Waimea players with their mum's and dad’s, who played in the JAB as a youngster themselves, coaching. We are very much a community club and this year have an exciting new initiative that demonstrates the community focus we have and hold within our club’s core values. Every Saturday morning throughout the junior rugby season we will be having a breakfast available to both our own JAB players
and visiting teams, this has been very kindly sponsored by Crackerjack Toys and will be the ‘’Crackerjack Breakfast”. One of our team’s saw this at our friends at Buller Rugby Union (who do this already) last year whilst there for a tournament and thought it was an excellent idea – our Board also agreed and we look forward to fuelling our JAB players every Saturday morning in this way. Registrations are open and online via sporty www.sporty.co.nz/viewform/176332 We welcome returning players and anyone thinking JAB rugby at Waimea Old Boys would be good for their child(ren)... boys and girls!
The Waimea women’s team is excited at the prospect of a full season in 2022. If you’re new to rugby, or new to our club, we’d love to see you down at Jubilee Park. Pre-season training has already started, so come and meet the team on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm. Bethan Manners has offered to be the contact for any interested players (027 727 1738). All players need to be over the age of 16 to play senior women’s rugby.
All welcome whether you have played before or are a beginner and keen to try it out.

NEWSLINE UPDATES KE E PING YOU INFORME D ABOUT NEWS AND EVE NTS IN THE TASMAN DISTRICT
23 MARCH 2022
Covid restrictions in Tasman
Feedback invited on growth plan changes
Lower Queen Street resurfacing repairs
Get the latest information about Council services and facilities under the Covid-19 Protection Framework (traffic light system) on our website, tasman.govt.nz.
We are working on a plan change to rezone land for housing in Murchison, Brightwater and Wakefield and to enable higher densities on residentially zoned land in Māpua and Motueka.
The Tasman Alliance will be doing pavement repairs and resurfacing on Lower Queen Street between Stratford Street and Gladstone Road/Richmond Deviation from Monday 28 – Thursday 31 March between 7.00 pm and 7.00 am.
As we prepare to meet this potential demand, we want to have your input into how we can best accommodate the expected growth in our region and the proposed plan change areas and rules. The plan change will go through a formal process of notification, submissions, hearings and decision making. Feedback is invited until 14 April 2022.
Future Development Strategy consultation underway Public consultation is underway on Tasman District and Nelson City Councils’ joint Future Development Strategy (FDS) for the period 2022 – 2052. Submissions close 14 April 2022. The FDS outlines a proposal of consolidated growth focusing largely along State Highway 6. This proposal includes prioritising intensification of housing development in Nelson, Atawhai, Stoke, Richmond, Brightwater, Wakefield, Māpua and Motueka, along with managed expansion around Nelson, Stoke, Richmond, Brightwater, Wakefield and Māpua. Some managed expansion is proposed around Tasman’s rural towns of Murchison, Tapawera, St Arnaud and in Golden Bay. A secondary part of the proposal is the development of a new community near Tasman Village and a large site at Braeburn Road in Lower Moutere. A consultation document summarising the strategy is available online, at libraries and service centres. This provides an overview of the proposal, as well as submission forms to provide feedback. You can also take part in our comprehensive online consultation programme which is open to everyone:
Community webinars focusing on specific areas: • Wednesday 23 March, 6.00 pm, Māpua • Wednesday 30 March, 7.30 pm, Tasman Village • Monday 4 April, 7.45 pm, Brightwater • Wednesday 6 April, 7.15 pm, Rotoiti District • Monday 11 April, 1.30 pm, Murchison
Community webinars hosted by both Tasman and Nelson Councils: • Thursday 24 March, 7.30 pm • Monday 28 March, 12.30 pm • Tuesday 5 April, 7.30 pm To take part in a webinar or make a submission, go to tasman.govt.nz/fds.
STAY UP TO DATE WWW.TASMAN.GOVT.NZ
For more information visit tasman.govt.nz/feedback.
Questions answered on new drinking water regulations The Chief Executive and senior staff from the Government’s new water regulator Taumata Arowai joined more than 100 Tasman residents in a special online information session last week to explain the potential future requirements for drinking water. New rules about drinking water safety could have far reaching ramifications locally, particularly for our rural residents who depend on bores and tanks for their water supplies. The questions were many and varied but unfortunately due to time constraints not all that were submitted were able to be answered on the night. The full video of the hour-long information session is available on our website along with a list of all questions and answers, including those that weren’t answered live.
Due to the amount of traffic using this intersection during the day, it is scheduled for night work. If weather conditions are poor, work will be done the next fine night. We’ll try to minimise noise and disruption, aiming to complete noisy machinery work before 8.00 pm.
Traffic restrictions: • The left turn lane, straight ahead and right turn lanes at the traffic signals on Lower Queen Street at Gladstone Road will be intermittently closed on these nights. The detour route will be via McGlashen/McIndoe/Queen Street. • The North bound lane on Lower Queen Street from Gladstone Road travelling towards Stratford Street will remain open. • Drivers of heavy vehicles are advised to travel via Gladstone Road to The Appleby Hwy (SH60) and then McShane Road to get back on to Lower Queen Street and the same in the opposite direction.
Need help with rural sports? The Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund offers help with travel costs for rural sports clubs and rural school teams. The fund helps young people aged 5 – 19 participate in local sports competitions. Sport NZ fully funds the Rural Travel Fund, which we administer locally on their behalf. The next funding round closes on 30 April 2022. For more information visit tasman.govt.nz/grants.
COUNCIL HUI
You still have an opportunity to comment the new drinking water standards, submissions close on Monday 28 March.
Under Covid-19 restrictions, meetings will take place via Zoom video conferencing. Public forum presenters are required to present via Zoom. Visit tasman.govt.nz/meetings-calendar for details and the Zoom link.
Details are available on Taumata Arowai’s website by searching consultation.

A plan change is normally the next step in the process following the adoption of the FDS. However, in this case the FDS and the plan change to rezone land are working concurrently to enable Tasman to meet its growing demand for housing.

If you have a piece of land that you think might be subdividable but you are really not sure where to start on the process, get in touch. I can help you find out what is possible, what extra value it would add to your property and the costs involved, so you can work out the best way to sell the property.
