Nelson harbourmaster Dave Duncan is alarmed after the sinking of a second recreational fishing boat offshore from Nelson in just over a week, saying there will be a fatality unless boaties start taking more precautions before they go out to sea. A man and a boy were rescued by the Nelson Coastguard at around 7pm on Monday after their small powerboat sank 700m offshore from the Boulderbank. That was the Coastguard’s second rescue in nine days after they pulled three men out of the water about 1500m from Nelson Harbour on October 14 and Dave says, “it’s lucky we haven’t had a fatality”. “Those three boaties in the first sinking are lucky to be alive,” Dave says. “There’s a Maritime New Zealand saying that nothing happens faster than disaster and it’s right – it only took three minutes for their boat to sink and they were in the water. “They were lucky another boatie came along and picked them up otherwise they would have been in trouble. They were in the water for 30 minutes and at this time of year you don’t last long.”

Second sinking highlights dangers FROM PAGE 1 Dave says the first sinking appears to have been caused by water leaking into the boat through a missing seal in the stern. He says it’s critical that people check their boats or have them fully serviced before they go to sea and that that they have lifejackets and waterproof communication equipment. “It’s about preparedness and communication. You have to have a waterproof cellphone or maritime radio.” Dave says the man and boy were rescued on Monday after a wave swamped their boat. They called for help and were rescued after just “10 to 15 minutes.” “The conditions started to get a little rough and they got swamped by a wave when they stopped to change a fuel tank over. Fortunately, they had the right com-

if they have not been used over winter. “It’s the time of year when people say ‘let’s go fishing’ and off they go. The boat has probably been sitting in the garage all winter and might have old fuel sitting in the tanks or equipment that’s not working.” Dave says boaties also need to consider the suitability of their boats for the conditions. They also need to know the weather forecast and to be aware of any changes in the sea conditions. Nelson Coastguard duty officer Wayne Ballantyne says the two boaties rescued on Monday were cold and needed to be taken to the shore in a hurry. He says it is fortunate they had a cellphone to call for help, allowing the Coastguard to respond rapidly and complete the rescue within 15 minutes.

Damien O’Connor picks up cabinet post

our low, flat fee is a fair fee

Judene Edgar Damien O’Connor is back in cabinet after New Zealand first leader Winston Peters announced that he would form a coalition government with Labour and the Green Party. Prime Minister-elect Jacinda Ardern set to work announcing her cabinet line-up which included the long-serving West Coast-Tasman MP. Currently he is spokesperson for primary industries, food safety and biosecurity, but was a cabinet minister under the previous Labour-led government from 1999 to 2008. His ministerial roles included minister of rural affairs, associate minister of agriculture, minister for tourism and associate minister of health. “Primary industries is certainly an area that I’d like to continue in,” says Damien. While he says there is always an inevitable backlash, particularly with regards to economic development, he says that areas like primary industries have always done better under a Labour government. “It’s the backbone of our region’s economic growth.” Damien says continued growth is critical for the region

Rates increases for dam funding outlined Simon Bloomberg

Terry Reynolds died when he fell through a lift while working at the Suter Gallery last week.

Motorcycle man farewelled A procession of motorcycles will escort Terry Reynolds to his final resting place on Wednesday after he died in a tragic workplace accident. Terry was the coordinator of the Nelson branch of the Ulysses motorcycle club and his love of the vehicles was well-known. “It was stuff of legend,” says club secretary Allan Smith. “He would take a motorbike wherever he could. He even had a ute that he had designed with a hydraulic lift which meant he could take his bike anywhere he wanted.” Terry, 67, was taken to hospital last Wednesday in a critical condition after he fell two metres through a lift while working at the Suter Gallery. He died the following day. “He was a great guy,” says Allan. “He had a unique leadership style and would let people find their place. He just knew what needed to happen and he knew how to lead.” At 1pm Wednesday, October 25, a procession of motorcycles will accompany Terry’s coffin from Marsden House to Richmond Cemetery. He is survived by his wife Jean and son Neil, who were keen to have as many motorcycles as possible escort Terry on his final journey.

MADE FOR MEN

Tasman residents will be asked if they are prepared to pay an extra $29 to $161 in their annual rates to help fund the proposed $82.5million Waimea Community Dam in the Lee Valley. The figures were released last week as part of the Tasman District Council’s funding model outlining the cost of the dam to the district’s 24,000 ratepayers. Council and Waimea Irrigators Ltd (WIL) will be joint-venture partners in the project which will also receive funding from the government and, potentially, $5million from Nelson City Council. The increased rates include a district-wide charge of about $29 a year and a 10 per cent increase in urban water charges averaging around $76. There is also a targeted rate for Richmond, Brightwater, Hope and Best Island properties based on their capital value because they would receive the greatest benefit from the dam. Although the funding proposal went out for public consultation last week, council chief executive Lindsay McKenzie concedes there’s

still some “critical steps to be con- cil to underwrite up to $29million cluded” before the exact cost of the for the Crown Irrigation Investment loan of up to $25million to dam to ratepayers is known.

Taxi drivers’ safety fears Rusty White knew something was wrong when her passenger refused to pay the final $6. She had been a taxi driver in Nelson for 25 years and endured her fair share of grumpy punters. But three months ago, she had a sense that things were going to get violent. Her passenger refused to pay and then shoved her up against the side of the taxi door, put his arm to her throat and “lifted me up and just smashed me”. She was only just able to reach the panic button down below the steering wheel. The button goes direct to police and allows officers to hear everything going on in the cab - it also put out an urgency call to the rest of the taxi drivers in the area. Within minutes drivers were there diffusing the situation. However, new legislation that went into action this month makes these cameras and duress alarms optional rather than compulsory. Taxi drivers believe that will put both their safety, and that of passengers, at risk. The Land Transport Amendment Bill brings taxis, shuttles, private hire vehicles, and dial-a-driver services into a single category. The law also removes the requirement for all taxis to have in-vehicle recording cameras, introduced in 2011 after two cabbies were murdered. However, Nelson City Taxi chairman Graeme Page says it is safety that will suffer. He says it looks like the government is making an exception to pave the way for Uber, a ride-sharing service where cars are booked through a mobile phone app. “A camera is there to protect both the driver and the passenger,” Graeme says. “If something goes wrong then it’s all on tape. This law is making it less safe.”

Local film-maker celebrates debut Kate Russell Garin College hostel supervisor Patsy Burke is stepping up to the big screen. The Richmond film-maker’s debut film has been selected as part of the third Top of the South Film Festival this weekend. Judges from an independent committee in Auckland selected 16 shorts for the festival, and Patsy’s six minute and 27-second-long film, Breakthrough, was one of them. “It’s about a young girl, Aria, who contemplates suicide,” says Patsy. “It takes viewers on a journey as she experiences different forms of bullying, leading her to a very dark place. “It is based on some of my own personal experience of someone who was dear to me.” Patsy says her love of films goes back a long way. “I started writing journals quite young and really started taking it seriously when I had an opportunity to write a church production.

She will be writing her own original music for film, as she completes her Diploma in Arts and Media (Contemporary Music) at NMIT. Now in its third year, the Top of the South Film Festival showcases the best of locally produced short films from Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough, ranging through comedy, drama, horror, experimental, thriller, noir and music video. There are six entries from Nelson this year, and all the proceeds go to the Top of the South Film Production Society. The Top of the South Film Festival is this Saturday, October 28, at the Suter Theatre. It kicks off with a red carpet event at 5:15pm with screenings at 6pm (now sold out) and 8pm.

UEEN STREET

What you need to know The opening of the newest completed section of Queen Street gives a real feel for the fresh street design, with a lower road centre for stormwater control, wide footpaths for an improved pedestrian experience, and no kerb and channel to make life easier for those with limited sight or mobility. The new design means we need to get used to using Queen Street in a slightly different way. For example: • The road carriageway is narrower, so drivers need to take it slow (the legal limit is 30kmh). • The 1-metre wide buffer strip between the footpath and carparks is there for everyone’s safety – it’s not part of the parking space • Cyclists and cars share the road carriageway – please take it slow and be courteous to your fellow road users • The footpath is wide and obstacle-free. It’s a pedestrian-only zone, not an extra traffic lane or manoeuvring space for vehicles. Cars reaching the construction zone at the Richmond Library will need to perform a U-turn to exit the street until the Cambridge Street intersection reopens in

late-November. There is enough room to do this without needing to drive up onto the footpath. Unfortunately there have been some potentially dangerous manoeuvres taking place in this part of the street so we would ask everyone to please use common sense and take care while the street is in this transition phase. We appreciate parking is at a premium, but again, common sense is needed if you wish to park in this area. The following photos show some of the areas that people have been seen parking their cars. These are not car parks.

Thank you to the majority of people who are being careful and sensible in this area – and we appreciate your patience. The end result is going to be a really lovely environment for everyone to enjoy. Please do not park in the red zones

Richmond Mall helps with Xmas boxes Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelsonians are spreading the Christmas love in shoeboxes this year. Nearly 1000 shoeboxes filled with gifts are ready to be sent overseas to children living in poverty. It is part of Operation Christmas Child, a charitable scheme run by the Samaritan’s Purse organisation. Presents are filled with clothes, toys, school and personal hygiene supplies or ‘something special’ and are then sent to children in Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Fiji, Vanuatu and Samoa. More than 100 of the boxes from Nelson have been put together by Port Nelson, which has been participating in the scheme for three years. “It’s not hard to get people on board,” says Port Nelson’s Andy Farmer. Andy says he mentioned the idea after his daughter’s pre-school got in-

volved. Richmond Mall have also come on board for the first time this year. Mall manager Belinda de Clercq says the response has been overwhelming. “They dropped off 100 boxes but they went within the first weekend so they had to keep bringing more.” At last count they had given out 417 boxes she says. Organiser Lynda Rea says they have been blown away with the generosity of Nelsonians, with other shoe boxes coming in from businesses, churches and schools from around the region. The boxes will go to Auckland before being sent to different countries. “It feels awesome,” says Lynda. “Most of these children have never received a gift before and for some it is life-changing to know that someone loves them. “$20 to fill a box to us is nothing, and to them it’s everything. It’s such a simple way of making a difference.”

Port Nelson’s Andy Farmer, left, is with Leonore Genade, Monica Colling and Lynda Rea from Operation Christmas Child, who are getting ready to send nearly 1000 gift-packed shoe boxes to children in poverty overseas.

Fond memories of Watson’s grocery The Watson family will be celebrating 60 years of owning grocery stores and supermarkets in Richmond next month. One of the Watson’s original employees Denise Bensemann has fond memories of working for Ivan Watson. Here’s her story. Instantly my mind was filled with happy memories. You see, I worked for Gary Watson’s (owner of FreshChoice Richmond) grandfather Ivan Watson over 51 years ago. I was 18 and worked there for about two and a half years, until I was married and expecting our first baby a year after that. I was the only female amongst the staff who comprised Geoff Clementson (store manager), Bryan Bethwaite (home deliveries), and Keith King who mostly worked at the shop counter. All these great guys, who were the original staff of those early days of IGA Super Discounter on the corner of Cambridge and Queen streets, have passed away. Things were done so different in those days. For example, part of my job was to ring customers on certain days of the week and they would give me their grocery orders, which we would make up and put into cartons (no plastic

Ivan and Lyalla Watson in their grocery store. bags then) and delivered free of charge the next day. They would either pay the delivery man or visit the shop and pay later, some having a monthly account. Most of the stock was bagged up and weighed manually. This included raisins, dates, sultanas, flour and sugar. Cheese came in large rounds and was cut with wire on a cheese board and wrapped in wax paper, weighed and priced. Feminine products, although they came in their own big pack-

ets, had to be wrapped again in brown paper and placed discreetly on top of a large container that held toilet rolls. The toilet rolls incidentally only came in singles, not in packets of four or more like today. Ivan’s son and Gary’s father, Ian, came in each afternoon after he finished school to bag and weigh up spuds. We only had about five trolleys, but more baskets in the shop and customers who came in to buy things often would just put the groceries into their own cane

or wooden baskets to bring up to the counter. Every shopper was known personally by name and usually also where they lived. At morning and afternoon tea time there was no sitting down on the job, we watched the shop counter for customers who needed to be served from where we stood by the kitchen door. Often having our drink by one mouthful at a time in between serving customers, and often it was cold but we never complained. We were a very happy lot, not unlike a family. Ivan’s wife Lyalla came in once a week to do the banking, both were invited and attended our wedding. At Christmas, each staff member was given a small gift from Lyalla and Ivan. Before the changeover to decimal currency we had to attend several evening classes to learn all about it before the big day arrived. But to everyone’s relief it all went smoothly. As well as serving customers and making up orders, other duties included keeping the shop clean, washing the front windows weekly, and sweeping the pavement daily and keeping the shelves filled. Although there was no weekend trading, Saturday mornings would often find me

down filling up the shelves, for love of the work and something to do, while the manager Geoff would bring out cartons of new stock from the storage room, this was unpaid work for us both. The winters were usually cold with no heating and so I’d wear fluffy moccasin slippers to keep my feet warm. There were good relationships with other grocery stores in Richmond and surrounding areas. Their delivery guys would call if they needed to swap a product for another brand that a customer had specifically asked for and they didn’t have in stock. Ivan was friendly and spoke nicely to the staff, but was always on the move. He had a habit of patting my bottom as he walked past. We secretly gave him the name of Steptoe and Son from a television programme. This patting wasn’t uncommon in those days, people just laughed and thought nothing of it. It was just like giving your dog a pat as you walked past. I still shop at Watson’s grocery shop as I have done for over 50 years, and my mother before that supported the shop since it’s early days in Richmond. FreshChoice is still my favourite supermarket with its friendly and helpful staff. My grandson Reuben Bense-

A very positive alternative to Halloween

Saints and Angels organising team members Jacinta Boyd, left, Jan Rolfe and Paula Nicholas are looking forward to the free, family fair this coming Tuesday. Photo: Judene Edgar.

Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

At least six local churches are combining efforts and manpower to offer up a very positive, family-friendly, alternative to Halloween for the community. The Saints and Angels family event is totally free, providing many families a once-a-year opportunity to attend a fair as well as providing children with a safer option to trick-or-treating. Organising team member Jan Rolfe says, “it’s a massive event – churches, local businesses, the council and the community have really got behind it.” She says that there is also a massive number of people helping to organise the event with over 120 volunteers on board. And indeed, all the family favourites will be available with jeep and pony rides, bouncy castle, balloon twisting, food stalls, face painting, kids craft and more. This year they’ve also added a 20m inflatable obstacle course for older children. “Events like the plate smashing were so popular last year that we’ve doubled up so people won’t have to wait as long,” she says. They will also have more trucks and diggers to play on this year, as well as a larger outdoor café area with haybale seating enabling people to sit and enjoy the entertainment. There will be puppet shows, skits, dog agility and the Baptist Church youth band. At 6.20pm is the dress-up parade with organisers encouraging children to dress up in “positive” costumes such as saints, angels, super heroes, and book and Disney characters. There are prizes for best-dressed as well as spot prizes throughout the evening. “It’s all about giving back to the community,” says Jan. Saints and Angels is being held at the Richmond Baptist Church, Salisbury Rd, Richmond, Tuesday, October 31, from 5pm to 8pm. Entry and all activities are free.

PENKETH PROPERTY LAW

Judene Edgar Celebrant Brenda Robinson is hoping to take the stress out of wedding planning by bringing a range of services together, all under one roof, for the inaugural ‘The Great Big Little Wedding Show’ this weekend. With exhibitors ranging from jewellers to florists, photographers, cake decorators, wedding planners and suit hire, the aim is to provide information and inspiration. Generally billed as ‘the most memorable day of your life’, Brenda says that the lead-up to a wedding can be quite stressful for couples. “We just wanted to make it easier for people planning their weddings to meet local providers, to be able to talk to them, and give them a bit of a onestop-shop experience,” says Brenda. “It should be a happy and exciting time.” Thanks to the generosity of exhibitors and sponsors, they have secured some amazing prizes including a wedding dress, freshwater pearl and silver necklace, flowers, and massage and beauty vouchers. Additionally, the first 50 attendees will receive goodie bags. Brenda says that one of the highlights of the show will be the catwalk at 11.30am that has been organised by The Wedding Whisperer, which will give attendees the opportunity to see some great wedding outfits being modelled. “There will be some top of the range dresses as well as some amazing bargains available at the show,” says Brenda.

Reflections on water… Former Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment for ten years, Dr Morgan Williams is the chair of the Cawthron Foundation and the World Wide Fund for Nature in New Zealand. He holds several other trustee and advisory positions for various environment-focused organisations and sits on Waimea Water’s Community Water Solutions Advisory Group.

Five years ago, my wife and I came to Nelson (ex Canterbury via Wellington) for the ‘good life’. Like most communities, there are protracted debates on major issues - particularly where matters of fairness, personal cost, perception of need and many potential solutions are present. An example is the long running debate about how the Waimea plains and surrounding urban areas, including Nelson City, continue to have secure water supplies in the face of growing demand and greater variability in rainfall. A safe reliable supply of fresh water is the most critical of humanities basic needs - the other two being shelter and food. This hierarchy of needs has long been recognised, hence the concentration of human settlements near good water supplies that in turn ensure reliable food production. In 2000, as Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, I led a major study on New Zealand urban water systems published under the quirky title: Ageing pipes and murky waters: Urban water system issues for the 21st century. In the preface I concluded: “Further incremental tinkering with the current systems, without going back to first principles of community water and wastewater needs relevant to the 21st century, will simply mean the necessary changes will be harder to achieve and cost more at some time in the future. It is also likely that they will be crisis driven which is never a good substrate for rational strategic planning and cost-effective investment”. Through the study, I observed that water supply, urban or rural, is primarily a local government or private responsibility reinforced by the remarkable fact that we have no Minister of Water within central government despite having ministers for a

vast array of other areas including racing! This ‘framing’ of water provision as a local matter for local funding has, however, attracted central government’s funding for potable water supply and waste treatment systems in smaller communities but the major investments have been in hydroelectricity dams and irrigation schemes. Is this the way to effectively manage the resource that is top of our three most fundamental needs? It did not appear to be when I conducted the urban water study in 2000 - and it certainly does not 17 years later when the risks to water security are ever more obvious. With regard to the current Waimea Community Dam debate, the responsibility falls on Tasman District Council under current law (RMA and the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management) to maintain river water quality, minimum flows and to provide safe water to its ratepayers. In simple terms the current proposal to build an augmentation dam in the Lee Valley is the means to meet several important needs - to recharge aquifers (the region’s natural, low cost storage system) and thus improve security of rural/irrigation and urban supply while at the same time maintaining the ecological health of the delivery system (Waimea River). From a scientific and economic perspective, there is good evidence supporting an ‘aquifer recharge’ solution to meet community needs. It sustains the health of a large aquifer system, needs no piping to do so, maintains river health in the process of delivering the water and continues to use all the wells and current extraction systems. This augmentation will effectively mitigate increasingly variable summer rainfall

as our climate continues to change and will reduce the risk of major water restrictions to households and businesses. Unfortunately, the means (a storage dam) to achieve what’s needed (aquifer recharge) has become the lightning rod for debates. The urgent need for the water has been sidelined in arguments about the nature of water risks in the region, perceptions of fairness and affordability, whether a source of funding is a subsidy (or not), role of central government, perceptions of regional population growth and the future of agriculture and horticulture in the region. To move into solution mode, we must focus on fundamentals such as ensuring we’re using nature’s infrastructure in the right way and optimising the ecological benefits. Here are some suggestions on topics that may assist us to resolve our collective difference on our region’s water future: • the level of public good investment for central government in water infrastructure, versus its input into areas like roading, conservation and community health • the value of water and how it should be priced • the expected minimum design life of the proposed dam and ultimate return on capital • TDC’s current spend on other major capital works projects in the region • the actual change to individual’s rates payments compared with other things rates are paying for. When considering any of the above, it’s vital to remember that we all need a secure water supply. Dr Morgan Williams Former Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment

Special Olympics Nelson officially launched its entry into the National Summer Games on Saturday morning with the Law Enforcement Torch Run. Working with Nelson Police, Nelson’s special Olympic athletes and their supporters started at Nelson Police station, making their way along Halifax St before proudly marching up Trafalgar St with the “flame of hope” torch in hand. The Law Enforcement Torch Run is a global movement involving more than 90,000 police, professionals, athletes and supporters. The two torches started off in Auckland and Invercargill and

have been making their way around New Zealand with the torch run set to conclude in Wellington, where the National Summer Games will be held at the end of November. “It’s a launch of the games for us, and it’s to make people aware that this event is going on,” says the Special Olympics Nelson co-ordinator, Lois Aitkenhead. “This launch is to get together and show people who don’t realise it’s for intellectually impaired people.” Lois says it has been a threeyear-long process to qualify for the games, which has included competing in local events as well as regional ones. “We’re taking a team of 58 Nelson athletes who will be com-

peting in seven different sports and we’ve had to raise nearly $70,000.” This had been done mostly from the local community. The local athletes will join more than 1300 athletes at the National Summer Games. Once athletes have competed in the nationals they will also be eligible to compete internationally. Run by Special Olympics in New Zealand, Lois says she’s aware that some people get it confused with the Paralympics. The local athletes will be competing in seven different sports. At Saturday morning’s run, many members of the public offered cheers of support along the way. The group finished up at the Church Steps.

CONSULTATION ON THE FINANCING AND GOVERNANCE OF THE WAIMEA COMMUNITY DAM

HAVE YOUR

SAY

The households and businesses of a significant part of the Tasman District do not have a water supply that is reliable enough to see them through a summer drought. On top of that, we do not have enough water for the growth we are experiencing. We also need to improve the condition of the Waimea River and increase its summer low flow. We need an augmented water supply. The Waimea Community Dam is the solution. It is the most cost effective option for providing a secure water supply for next 100 years or more. After several years of negotiations, we are proposing a funding model for the Dam in partnership with Crown Irrigation Investments Ltd (CIIL), Waimea Irrigators Ltd (WIL) and Nelson City Council (NCC). What we are consulting on is how the $75.9m Waimea Community Dam should be owned and managed, and how we should fund the Council’s share of the Dam project costs ($26.8 million).

How did we get here? We have a number of issues to solve:

•

We don’t have enough water to meet the needs of our growing community.

•

Agricultural and horticultural businesses don’t have the security of supply they need.

•

The weather is changing with the summers getting longer and drier.

•

The river’s ecology faces massive challenges during the dry times.

•

If we don’t keep a flow in the river our essential aquifers risk salt water intrusion.

What is our solution? Providing enough flow in the Waimea River throughout the whole year to support the aquifers and groundwater that supply water to all on the Waimea Plains, while maintaining the river’s environmental needs. The scheme is special because it uses the river to carry the water and aquifers to store it, rather than installing expensive pipes and pumps. This is nature's way.

How do we do that? Everyone knows we receive plenty of water throughout the year, however at the height of summer when the flow in the river drops there is not enough. We are proposing to build a dam in the Lee Valley that will release the captured water through the dry period to maintain a flow of 1100 litres/second in the river, recharging aquifers and groundwater enabling us to meet all of the challenges listed above. More importantly it will preserve and enhance the Waimea River’s ability to provide for our needs while maintaining its own environmental health. Tasman, and specifically the urban area served by the Plains, is one of the nation’s fastest growing areas; it has the climate, the natural beauty, and economic and social opportunities not found elsewhere.

The Waimea River is the lifeblood of the Plains. We all take our water from there, we swim in it and walk along it; the presence of the river is almost taken for granted. Its social, environmental and economic value is only dwarfed by the issues we would face on the Plains, in the District and regionally, if the river ceased to exist.

We are not doing this on our own; •

The Government sees value in this investment as a means of maintaining strategic horticultural and economic value as well as the environmental benefits it provides,

•

Waimea Irrigators Ltd are contributing nearly half the cost, through capital subscription and a loan from Crown Irrigation Investments Ltd underwritten by the Council, to maintain their presence,

•

Nelson City Council is consulting its residents about the level of their investment in providing a secure water supply on the Plains.

This is not about wanting a dam – it is about needing an augmented water supply for our District. Doing nothing is not an option.

w Home at 5 Fairose Drive, that brought them together, meeting at the fruitgrowers end of season dance at the Mapua Hall in 1965. Not all smooth sailing, Kaye says “he grew on me.” Still living at home at the time, Peter would drive to Nelson in his Humber 80 to pick up Kaye on a Friday night. “Although sometimes the Humber broke down,” says Kaye. Peter remembers waiting for her father to come back from the packing shed so he could ask for his permission to marry Kaye. “It was such a long wait, and then all he

said was ‘it’s about bloody time’,” laughs Peter. They bought their first section on Warwick St, Richmond, but had to rent because you couldn’t apply for a loan until you had paid off your section. When Bill Wilkes heard this “he paid off the $200 so we could build,” says Peter. The apprentice fitter and turner went on to work for Trinders for seven years followed by 20 years at Goughs before setting up Bartlett Engineering in Brightwater. Nearing retirement, he sold the firm to Peter and

Kerry Todd in 2001, staying on until only a few years ago. Kaye has also just left her role at the Garin College halls and is looking forward to having more time to volunteer. Volunteering has also featured for Peter as a rugby coach and a volunteer fire-fighter for the Richmond Fire Brigade for 39 years. But fifty years, two children, four grandchildren, and lots of neighbourhood and family dinners later, the pair say they wouldn’t change a thing. The secret, “you’ve got to talk things over,” says Kaye.

Kicking costs of sport into touch Judene Edgar Award-winning charity LiteFoot Trust is saving community sports clubs thousands of dollars by helping them to reduce their environmental footprint through their LiteClub initiative. Twenty community sports clubs have been visited in Nelson-Tasman so far resulting in up to $143,199 in savings and preventing 57.8 tonnes of carbon emissions. Nationally, they have visited over 1100 clubs, saving nearly $7million. And now the free service is set to help eight more clubs, thanks to support from Sport Tasman and funding from Tasman District Council’s community grants scheme. “It’s such a superb initiative,” says Sport Tasman’s community sport advisor Julie Price. “The fact they’re willing to provide energy saving devices that can help clubs save money is really good.” LiteClub’s field teams travel New Zealand in a van stocked with products such as LED lightbulbs, water-saving devices, hot water cylinder wraps, pipe lagging and indoor waste sorting bins. Over a three hour visit, the LiteClub team assesses opportunities for improvements and then makes the changes on the spot. Greenacres Golf Club had an assessment earlier this year which club manager Stuart Anderson says was unobtrusive and extremely worthwhile.

LiteClub’s operations manager Antonia Gerlach says the changes at Greenacres have produced the greatest benefits out of all local clubs visited to date, with estimated savings of $28,604 over the lifetime of the installed products. “By providing them with efficient products and installing them, LiteClub saves money for sport and shows that it can go hand-in-hand with an environmental win too,” says Antonia.

History beckons for Makos Andrew Board Journalist

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Third time’s a charm? Let’s hope so. The Makos have the chance to create history this Saturday night by winning its maiden national provincial rugby championship. Tasman will play in its third Mitre 10 Cup premiership final in just four years and if they win, it will be the province’s first national title -- just 11 years after it was formed with the merger of Nelson Bays and Marlborough. Losses to Taranaki in 2014 and Canterbury in 2016 broke Tasman hearts but a repeat of last year’s final, against Canterbury in Christchurch gives the Makos a shot at redemption. Tasman earned its spot in the final with a tense one-point win over top qualifiers Taranaki in New Plymouth on Saturday night on the back of a 25 point-haul from first five Mitchell Hunt.

And now fans are rallying behind their Makos ahead of another final. Messages of support were coming thick and fast on Facebook with Andrea Grocott writing: “Finzup fellas! Awesome effort!” While Joan Carmody says: “Brilliant game tonight good luck next week.” Geoff Win writes: “Congrats Tasman Mako’s, friggen awesome result beating the ‘Naki up there. “Pity it wasn’t a shield challenge as well. Bring on Canterbury. Do it this year, Makos.” Helen Hills says: “Well done to Tasman Mako’s you, deserve it guys. We’re proud of you.” The score in last Saturday’s game: Taranaki 29 (D O’Donnell, C Ngatai, T Tahuriorangi, S Tamanivalu tries; M McKenzie 3 cons, pen) Tasman 30 (T Faingaanuku, M Hunt tries; Hunt con, 6 pens). The final will be played at 7.35pm this Saturday night at Tasman Makos’ Pete Samu celebrates a try earlier this season at Trafalgar Park.

Tasman led the ISPS Handa Premiership after one round courtesy of its 4-1 win over Hamilton Wanderers on Sunday. A brace from Abdulla Al-Kalisy and one each from Daniel Allan and Paul Ifill lifted Tasman to the win and earned the team three points. Tasman, in its sophomore year in the competition, now sit at the top of the premiership table on the same points as Eastern Suburbs and Team Wellington, but ahead on goal difference.

Waimea College athletes excel in 2017

Simon Bloomberg

Waimea College had another successful sporting year with 18 athletes receiving their caps at the college’s sports awards for either representing New Zealand or winning national titles, and its students winning 12 Tasman Secondary School sports awards. Year 12 student Cameron Jones was one of the star performers at last Thursday’s Waimea College Sports Awards held to recognise the achievements of the school’s athletes. The Coast to Coast twoday winner and national mountainbike representative received his fourth cap and won the college’s top award for boys, the Errol Beattie Cup, for all-round excellence in Sport – Cameron was also named Tasman Secondary School’s Sportsman of the Year. Cyclist Shaane Fulton was the other big winner, being capped for winning the under-19 national sprint title and representing New Zealand at the world junior track cycling champs in Italy. Shaane also won the Glue Family Cup for the Greatest Achievement in Sport ahead of finalists Cameron, Sam McKenzie (swimming), Bridie Edwards (running), Tane MacDonald (volleyball) and Tyler March (basketball).

and Maggie McLean was named Tasman School’s Team of the Year for winning the mixed secondary schools section of the Coast to Coast. The college’s top sports-

woman was Jessica Kelly who won the Girls Prefects Cup for General Excellence in Sports. Jessica was a member of the girls First XI hockey, senior mixed touch,

Stoke A netball team and Nelson women’s softball team. The school’s head of sport and recreation, Carla Thurlow, says 2017 was “another great

year for Waimea College sport, with many successes locally, regionally and nationally”. Carla congratulated all the students and praised the contribution of the coaches, managers, parents, friends and extended family to the college’s sporting success. “It is certain, that if you deconstruct the success of almost any great sportsperson, you will glimpse the heroism of a muchmaligned demographic – the parents. You will see love, devotion, compassion and passion, you will see a willingness to share in the joy of victory and to alleviate the pain of defeat and, most of all, you will see untold quantities of selfsacrifice. Thank you to the parents, coaches, managers, teachers, friends and families who encourage and support their children.” The athletes who received caps were: Sierra Thomas, Bree Anderson Talya Harwood, Sam McKenzie (swimming), Matt Heyward, Tane McDonald (volleyball), Tyler Marsh (basketball), Maddie Mitchell, Daniel Reid, Maggie McLean (Coast to Coast), Georgia Wells (indoor cricket), Britney Kerr, Shaane Fulton (cycling), Caleb Delany (softball), Livy Guyton, Scott Green (target shooting), Cameron Jones, Bridie Edwards (running).

Nelson Sports Awards turn 50

Simon Bloomberg

The 50th edition of the Nelson Sports Awards will be a blast from the past with 29 previous winners of the supreme award attending the ceremony to celebrate the milestone at the Rutherford Hotel in Nelson on November 25. Golfer Nicki Campbell was the first winner of the award back in 1959, receiving it for winning the national women’s title. A long and illustrious list of athletes followed including many Olympic and world champions with the only interruption being a break when the awards “lost momentum and fizzled out” from 1980 to 1988. Tony Thomas of Sport Tasman says the awards were resurrected by Sport Nelson (now Sport Tasman) in 1989 when the winner was sailor Rex Sellers who won a silver medal in the Tornado class at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. “I’m pleased they were revived because it’s a highlight of the Nelson sports calendar and a great vehicle for us to celebrate sporting achievement and life-long sporting achievement to sport,” Tony says. However, Tony says the awards have “changed a lot since the early days when it used to run at the Nelson College Hall”. “It used to be very informal.

Waimea Community Dam Governance and Funding Consultation

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

Come along to one of the public meetings to find out more about the proposals and talk to councillors and staff, or head to our website for information and supporting documents. Submissions close on 26 November.

• 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. 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. Find out more: Contact Planning Consultant Shelagh Noble, by email Shelagh.Noble@tasman.govt.nz or Ph. 021 150 2391. More information and submission forms are available on our website. Visit www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback. Submissions will close on Monday 27 November.

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

How do you want to be represented? We’re about to carry out a representation review, which looks at how many councillors should be elected, if they are to be elected by ward or the District as a whole and, if by ward, the number of wards, their boundaries and names. The review also examines whether to have community boards and how many. Further information can be found here: www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback. Your survey responses will help us formulate an initial proposal for public consultation.

Council Meetings Agendas and Minutes for Council Meetings can be viewed on Council’s website at www.tasman.govt.nz.
