Councillor’s slack attendance Erin Bradnock

Local Democracy Reporter Tasman District Council mayor Tim King has labelled one councillor’s attendance of less than half of all meetings as “disappointing”. According to Tasman District

Council attendance records, Richmond ward councillor Mark Greening has attended 43 per cent of his full council and the three standing committee meetings to date. Between the period of July 2020 to June 2021 Greening’s attend-

ance dipped to its lowest of his third term to 29 per cent. From July 2021 to date, he had appeared either in person or over Zoom to 36 per cent of his meetings. All other Tasman District Council councillors have attendance records at over 82 per cent for

each financial year so far this term. When questioned over Greening’s attendance rates, Tasman mayor Tim King described the numbers as “disappointing” and “pretty consistent”. “Mark is aware of my views on it

and ultimately it’s up to the people who he represents and whether they see that as reasonable,” he says. In a statement, Greening said it’s very easy to look at attendance,

“Happy that the kids are vaccinated and I’m off to get my booster.”

“It was expected, but it still comes as a blow to everyone.”

“It was no surprise. Hopefully we are well placed to manage an outbreak.”

“I’m trying to stay positive as I knew it would happen. We’re prepared as a family.”

Councillor’s ‘disappointing’ attendance record frOm PAGE 1 but the real focus should be on the quality of decision-making. “Anyone can turn up and rubber stamp resolutions put in front of them without reading anything. “I have opposed the Long Term Plan proposals that sought debt increases and the removal of the rates cap, and the imposition of ongoing dam cost blowouts on the general ratepayer rather than target rating affiliates, as well as all the unnecessary spending,” he said. He says he has attended “most if not all” full council meetings over the course of his third term. In 2021 Greening attended 12 out of 15 full council meetings, three out of four regulatory committee meetings and zero out of eight operation commit-

tees. Long-standing Lakes and Murchison ward councillor and operations committee chair, Stuart Bryant, says Greening’s lack of attendance means other councillors have to pick up the work. “The two other Richmond ward councillors are all pulling their weight fairly,” he says. “He should perhaps consider whether he wants to be a councillor”. In response to his low attendance at non-full council meetings, he said many committee meetings did not contain decisions, have very few agenda items, or had decisions that were unanimously supported and often decided before the meeting began. Fellow Richmond ward councillor Dana Wensley disputes this claim.

richmond Ward councillor mark Greening has only attended 42 per cent of meetings this term. “Every council meeting has the potential for a decision to be made,” she says. Wensley says Greening failed to attend any workshops during last year’s, Covid-19 outbreak over Zoom. According to Wensley these workshops cover a range of topics on the Council’s agenda from shaping a Long Term Plan

and Covid responses to the Three Waters reform. “Workshops are a very important part of council. “We have devoted hours and hours to it. It’s very frustrating from my point of view,” she says. Greening did not give an indication as to whether he would stand for election for a fourth term but says he continues to keenly listen and represent the views of his community. “I don’t agree with the current direction of this council and I can only hope the community gives a clear mandate for fresh thinking and leadership at the next election”.

Events cancelled as Omicron arrives in Nelson-Tasman One of the region’s largest concerts, Opera in the Park, has been cancelled following a move to Red under the Covid-19 Protection Framework. Nelson City Council, who run the event, say the decision was difficult to make. Council staff are now looking at whether it is feasible to postpone until February 2023. Nelson Buskers Festival, which was to be held at Founders Heritage Park this weekend, has also been cancelled following discussions between buskers and Council. The Kai Festival 2022, which was due to be held on Monday, 7 February has also been cancelled along with the remaining Summer Movies Al Fresco. Other events that are taking place later in the year will be assessed on a caseby-case basis and the Covid rules that are in place closer to the time.

National leader talks issues National Party leader Christopher Luxon held a public meeting on Thursday at Hope Community Church. He talked about National’s plans and his own views on a variety of issues. Here’s what he had to say: Labour shortages The biggest issue facing the Top of the South is labour shortages, meaning businesses are not able to expand or realise opportunity. That’s a problem we have with the government, whether it’s with mechanics, vets, doctors, nurses, or RSE workers. We have some big challenges in terms of being able to get those workers into the country. The immigration system is blocked up but was slowing up well before Covid-19. While the rest of the economies of the world are taking off, people with the talent and skills we need in our country don’t consider New Zealand open for business. RSE workers We know exactly what we need. Every year the same volume of production needs to be picked. We would open that up. Many growers have good plans to manage the risks and already do a fantastic job managing and looking after that workforce. In a Covid environment they have often gone

You cannot just approve the RSE workers in November when you need them in December. That is too little, too late. Roading I’ve experienced the Southern Link. That is a classic road of regional significance that does need serious investment. It speaks to a bigger problem of road maintenance that is not happening on some of our highways. There have been instances of lowering speed limits rather than fixing or expanding roads. We need our roads, so it’s important we make that investment in that

infrastructure. We would be very supportive of that. Three Waters Groundswell put volume and voice to the issue of how the rural communities are feeling about an overwhelming sense of regulations coming at them. They know they need to change but they need sensible and workable regulation. They can’t digest it all. It’s like ten tennis balls coming over the net at once. You can’t hit any of them versus hitting one at a time. National would repeal Three Waters legislation if we are voted in in 2023. We also need to not demonise farmers. They are doing a great job and we need to help them to be the best in the world. Full interview on Nelson App.

Water restrictions come into force Water restrictions came into force on Monday for both urban and rural water users in Tasman as increasingly dry conditions continue. Stage One water restrictions for users in several water management zones began on Monday, 24 January. High temperatures and steady wind have persisted in the region leading the Tasman District Council to implement the restrictions. Tasman’s Dry Weather Taskforce had its first

meeting for the summer on Tuesday to assess the water situation around the district. It was noted that dry conditions and increased water demand will see river levels drop, reaching trigger levels in the Wairoa and Waimea Rivers and the Moutere and Upper Motueka areas. Taskforce convenor, Dennis Bush-King, said that given the current low soil moisture levels, increased irrigation needs and indications of “a long tail”

of dry weather ahead, it was necessary to make the move now. The Stage One rationing, meaning a cut in use by 20 per cent of consented water take levels, applies in the Upper Catchment, Reservoir, Waimea West, Delta, Golden Hills, Redwood and the Upper Confined Aquifer zones on the Waimea Plains, the Moutere Eastern and Western Groundwater Zones and the Motupiko, Rainy, and Tadmor water management zones.

Dennis says the Wai-iti zone is also affected by dry conditions, but water will be released from the Kainui Dam later next week. Users in the Lower Confined Aquifer, Hope Gravel, will have another week before rationing is likely to come in. “Phase A watering restrictions are also being introduced for urban water users in Richmond, Māpua – Ruby Bay, Brightwater, Wakefield, and Hope areas, and their rural extensions,” Dennis says.

Main Rd Stoke roadworks to continue into year The current traffic management of roadworks on Main Road Stoke related to the Saxton Creek upgrade will remain the same until April this year. Nelson City Council group manager infrastructure Alec Louverdis says at that time traffic management will shift to the other side of Main Road Stoke as work progresses towards the sea. The entire Saxton Creek upgrade is now scheduled for completion by July 2023. “We appreciate everyone’s patience while this work takes place,” Alec says. “Once completed the impacts of weather events will be managed more effectively to reduce the devastating effects of flooding that occurred in 2011 and 2013.”

NEWS Secret tree poisoning in St Arnaud

A large Douglas fir tree in Lake Rotoiti’s Kerr Bay is slowly dying after a member of the public drilled holes in the trunk and filled it with poison. Despite its nonnative status, it provided shade and had been planted by the Stratford family in 1923, making it nearly 100 years old. These conifers are considered a weed which threaten New Zealand natives. Tasman District Council horticultural officer Richard Hilton says while it was stable for now, the tree would have to be removed professionally after summer.

No candidate for Nelson

National Party leader Chris Luxon says the National party doesn’t currently have anyone in mind to put up as a candidate for Nelson. The position has been vacant after long-standing MP Nick Smith retired in 2020. “I’m not aware of anyone in Nelson as yet,” Chris says. “I can guarantee we will find a really great candidate. It’s too early in the process for National to put up a candidate for Nelson.” He says National want to ensure they have good community-minded people who want to serve the community, be part of it and advocate very strongly for it. It is expected that the process to select a candidate will begin later this year.

The Richmond branch of ANZ bank on Queen Street is closed under Red alert. The closure is due to staff being diverted to provide extra support to the contact centre and online store clients. ANZ business manager Justyne Carroll says those services are currently overloaded due to the country’s shift to Red. “The Nelson branch remains open and the fast deposit facility in Richmond is still available 24/7,” she says.

Exporters ‘held at ransom’

Jenny Nicholson

Local exporters say they will be forced to reduce their crop size if shipping delays and cost increases continue. Covid-19 has meant local export companies have faced multiple challenges getting produce shipped overseas. One exporter, who asked not to be named, says some shipping companies are asking for considerably more money to bring empty containers into New Zealand ports. “We are held at ransom to pay what they ask, or we don’t get the empty containers.” He says it was a very tough year last year with both shortage of shipping containers and disruption to shipping schedules. While he is quietly hopeful they will get through this season, realistically he is expecting to run into shortages which could be extreme. Boysenberries New Zealand managing director, Julian Raine, says it is definitely not business as usual. “There has been a massive change in how ships load and discharge their freight,” he says. While ships are still getting into ports, space is limited. “Where we may want 10 containers, we can only get two.” It is not only the lack of space causing difficulties. What did take a month, now takes two as shipping routes are rearranged. “There are times that containers go to a transit point and sit there for a month.” Julian says some shipping companies now refuse to go to certain ports. “As with airlines, ships operate through hubs. Where a certain ship would use a particular

Caring for kids for 30 years Jo Kent

Nicole Sutherland and Penny Ohlson from Village Kids are celebrating 25 and 30 years as home-based educators. Penny says that she’s worked continuously for three decades without any breaks. “Some people dip in and out, but I’ve looked after children the entire time.” Because she’s been based in the same region her whole career, second-

generational care has started to kick in. “Some of the children I cared for previously have now had kids of their own and asked for me specifically when looking for an homebased educator.” Nicole has also continuously worked throughout her 25 years and says that a lot has changed since the early days. “There are way more children with allergies these days and you tend to see more kids on the spectrum too.”

Big brothers bring big changes Max Frethey Mike Thom and Wyatt Maxted meet up most weeks and hang out together. “I feel like I have a third dad, cause I’ve got a birth dad, a stepdad, and Mike,” says 8-year-old Wyatt. The Big Brothers Big Sisters programme pairs adult mentors with children in need of a positive role model. The mentors then meet up with the children at least once a week and simply hang out together, building a relationship. “We both like going to the beach… we both like reading,” Wyatt says. “We fished once, we

loved that…. I got twelve fish!” “He caught more than I caught,” Mike conceded good-naturedly. Chelsea Routhan, programme director of the Nelson-Tasman Big Brothers Big Sisters team says that children who receive the mentoring often exhibit “greater confidence… and form better relationships with others.” Wyatt’s mother Jessica has noted this in Wyatt as well, even though he’s only been getting together with Mike for three months. “It felt like [Wyatt] needed a good male-mentoring role model,” Jessica says, mentioning that he’d had some emerging anger issues. But after spending some time

served than he once was. However, as beneficial as this programme seems to be for Wy-

att and many other young boys, there is a severe shortage of male mentors. It took over two years for Wyatt to be paired with Mike. Currently, Big Brothers Big Sisters have a waiting list of 54 children who needed mentors, with most of them being boys. This lack of male mentors has led to the creation of a 22 Men for 2022 campaign. “That dependability of doing something with someone once a week and making sure that you’re doing something for someone else’s interests completely is just really helpful holistically,” Mike said.

Eva’s leadership celebrated

Erin Bradnock An 11-year-old Hope School student has been recognised for being an enthusiastic and respectful leader. Eva Marshall is the 2021 Hope School recipient of the BLAKE Young Leader Award, which honours sailor and environmentalist Sir Peter Blake. It recognises Year five to eight students across Aotearoa who show commitment to leading positive change in their community. Eva was nominated by her teachers at Hope School for her dedication to the school, including three years as an elected member on the school’s student council. Eva was behind the school’s Pink Shirt Day fundraiser earlier this year which raised $113 for the Mental Health Foundation.

Teacher Katherine McFarland says Eva is a student who takes on leadership willingly and enthusiastically. “She leads in a kind way, someone you know will carry the job through.” In the school’s submission for the award, Eva is described as a “fantastic listener” and advocate for others. Eva says she was surprised to learn of the win in a school assembly late last year and that she was inspired to hear of the work of Sir Peter Blake. “I hadn’t heard of Sir Peter Blake before. They played a video at assembly and we learnt he was a really good leader who never stopped.” Eva says, being okay with making some mistakes and being a good listener is what makes a good leader. “I listen to people because it feels good to be listened to.”

Health board hoping to recruit past nurses Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The hospital corridors may be a bit busier this week with 19 new nurses joining the Nelson Marlborough District Hospital Board (NMDHB). Bailee Spriggs and Emma Gordon graduated in December last year from NMIT and both started work at Nelson Hospital two days after they received their results. With just 30 in their class, 25 have taken up positions with the NMDHB; 19 starting this week after a week of orientation. The other six started in December. After leaving school Bailee studied law and politics at university, but says ‘law didn’t do it for me.’ She wanted to do something helping people and has found that with nursing. While she is caring for others, she is thankful for the supportive team environment she’s working in, and the support offered to new graduates. NMDHB associate director of nursing for workforce development, Jodie Miller, says new nurses have someone work alongside them for at least the first 16 days. They also have a team to help them and offer feedback for the remainder of the year. For Bailee, the biggest surprise so far has been experiencing the ‘imposter syndrome’ - doubting you abilities, for the first few weeks on the ward.

25 graduating students will join the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board this year. Photo: Jenny Nicholson. “At first I was going to ask a nurse to sign out Panadol,” Bailee says. Emma Gordon says she went into nursing straight from school. She also wanted to help people and is finding nursing is fulfilling that need. With the class graduating from NMIT last year being one of the smallest they have had, there are still positions to fill and manage-

ment is hoping to recruit those who have nursed in the past. Jodie returned to nursing after six years and is hoping others will do the same. “If you have been out for under five years it’s a straightforward process,” Jodie says. “If it’s over five years it is still doable.” For those who have been out of nursing for over five years, a 12

week return to nursing course is held at NMIT with the majority of that time spent in clinical practice. “Those who have been out of nursing for a while can bring life experience,” Jodie says. NMDHB director of nursing and midwifery, Sandy McLeanCooper, says they want New Zealand nurses back and a campaign

is running overseas to call them home. “There is a smooth pathway through MIQ for them.” Sandy says it is good for nurses from small district health boards to experience working in larger hospitals. They can bring back valuable learning from their time overseas, but Sandy says the important thing is that they come back.

Heli-rides to luxury lodge for lunch will soon be off the menu Visitors hoping to heli-ride into a private enclave within the Abel Tasman National Park will be out of luck from April, following a controversial court decision. The Environment Court’s interim decision comes after a longrunning legal fight triggered by a complaint about a noisy aeroplane. In a move that has baffled many, fixed-wing aircraft will still be allowed to use the privatelyowned airstrip but helicopters are grounded, at least until there’s a resource consent in place. There are about 200 chopper trips to the airstrip each year, most of which happen in summer and are for transporting tourists and visitors to the high-end Awaroa Lodge on private land within the national park. The airstrip was established in the 1960s on private farmland to support farming operations. It is now run by a company made up of property owners in Awaroa, and has become an increasingly busy zone for aviation-based transport and tourism. The legal action was triggered by

a complaint in 2018 about noise from aircraft using a new airstrip that had been established on land adjacent to the existing airstrip. Some locals say the recentlyreleased decision fails to address the core noise problem for property owners in Awaroa, near the northern head of the national park. Awaroa property owner Darryl Wilson, who was not part of the legal action, said the irony of the court’s decision was that it applied only to helicopters, when it was a complaint against one small aeroplane in particular which triggered the process. Wilson said the matter might never have gone this far if the owners of the noisy aircraft had got a new propeller. “If this one plane had been as quiet as many others coming and going it would not be quite as polarising.” Tasman District Council looked into use of both, and while it understood existing use rights applied to the original airstrip, it felt they no longer met current environmental protection standards.

The council sought enforcement orders against a list of respondents, including the company Awaroa Aerodrome Limited, which operated the airstrip for which landing and overnight fees are charged to help maintain the airstrip. The majority of respondents were critical of the council’s efforts, and the court’s decision, having argued they had existing use rights. They said in a statement: “It is important that the court dismissed every aspect of the council’s case as being plain wrong or unsubstantiated and found we’d been right in what we’d been telling the council. “The result on helicopters came out of the blue – it was not even part of anyone’s original concerns but we can’t blame the court we don’t think it could work out what the council was trying to

achieve either.” The court said it was not convinced from the evidence provided that helicopters could continue to use the airstrip, without the measures and controls provided by a resource consent. The same could not be said for other aircraft types using the airstrip. In summary, it said that use of the airstrip was permitted under earlier council rules and regulations, but it lost that status once they were supplanted by updated environmental management tools, including the Tasman Resource Management Plan. Judge Brian Dwyer and Environment Commissioner David Bunting said in the decision that since the late 1990s or early 2000s there has been a significant change in use of the airstrip, namely a regular and increasing volume of helicopter traffic. Helicopters Nelson chief executive, Pete Darling, said the decision stood to impact a decent portion of the company’s business. Darling said it was frustrating to be directly affected by a decision

when he was effectively a third party in the matter, and when helicopter operations in the area must follow stringent local aviation procedures. “We seem to be taking the brunt of this, and it makes no sense. It’s really disappointing that a decision has been made without our input.” Darling says it was also disappointing that efforts by the affected parties to talk with the council have so far gone unheeded. “We’d like to know what they’re trying to achieve.” Council said at the heart of the matter was conflict around the rights of existing residents and those wanting to run businesses on land adjoining a national park. Council’s environment group manager, Dennis Bush-King, said the interim decision established a benchmark for existing use rights, but it also provided room for further discussion. “We know there’s been an airfield at Awaroa for many years, but what we were saying was that the nature of the use had exceeded the historical use rights.”

We’ve been preparing for the arrival of Omicron since its emergence overseas. Now, with positive cases confirmed the most important thing you can do is get your booster dose. You can get your booster vaccination at the walk-in clinics on Paru Paru Rd (Nelson city) and Queen St (Richmond). You can also take your kids aged 5-12 in for their vaccinations at the walk-in vaccination clinics. My thanks to our vaccinators and testing teams who are working hard to keep our community safe.

This week I’m speaking to the Nelson West Rotary Club to outline my priorities for the year - housing, transport and Nelson's new hospital. I'll be attending the launch of Immigration NZ’s ‘Welcoming Communities’ programme in our region, and I’ll be at the Nelson Market this Saturday – if you have any concerns or questions, I’d love to see you.

Email: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz Nelson region still among sunniest in the country: Should’ve moved to Taranaki. Liam Brosnahan We bet Blenheim and that’s the main thing. Charmaine Boocock But can we have some rain? Lol. Mufti Aka-Cindi The sun, however, does nothing to dissipate the ever-growing smog cloud over the region. Stuart James Bell Beautiful, my hometown. Debbie Gilroy We do need one nationwide standard for recording sunshine hours. Currently we have at least two. Nelson Airport has the traditional glass bulb, whereas the Tasman one at Rich-

mond has the new automated sunshine recorder. Evidence is the automated recorders are a little less sensitive to what bright sunshine is, and therefore record higher hours than the glass bulb recorders. I think that’s why Whakatane suddenly appeared in the stakes in recent years - they got an automated recorder. The Nelson Airport glass bulb recorder measured not much over 2,300 hours of sun in 2021. Dennis Goodman Alleged bullying culture at DHB: So sad to read about the bullying. My late husband was a patient on a number of occasions in recent years, plus having regular appointments in various areas of the hospital. The wonderful care he always received and the support from all staff was so comforting for him, myself and our family. This also includes the

Medlab South staff based at the hospital. Please give the same care and support back to your staff. You need them and so do we. Elaine Hemi Waiting for the next board meeting is too late. The reputational damage here needs attention immediately. Robin Whalley It’s a broken system and so underfunded. Our nurses are amazing and give amazing care. We are so understaffed it’s ridiculous. We’re not even under pressure yet. Sharon Williams First I have heard of a bullying culture at our DHB but if the senior nurse in question is responsible for more nurses leaving then the DHB need to man up and permanently stand her down. We cannot afford to lose more health staff. Kahurangi Hippolite

After reading the letter to the editor from R Evans about the state of the islands and roundabouts around the Nelson and Tasman district, I have to agree 100% with what they are saying about the condition and the weeds growing in these islands. Some of the weeds are over 1 metre tall and must be a distraction to motorists. Nelson-Tasman is such a beautiful area but what first impression do these roundabouts give to tourists or holiday makers from other parts of New Zealand? I know its not the council’s problem but surely they could do something to remedy this eyesore. They spend thousands of dollars with amenities for freedom campers for not much return, so surely they can help keep our area beautiful, like it used to be. When you go down to Christchurch you don’t see weeds like this growing in the islands so why should we have to put up with it. I realize most people just drive past these islands and don’t even worry about what they look like, but unfortunately some of us still do and are proud of where we live. Wayne

Further to the article from R Evans regarding the state of the traffic islands in the Tasman and Nelson district. Thank you so much for writing his article as I have been meaning to write to the editor. I had been in contact with the council and was advised that they contract this work out. My question is: why are they not checking up on their contractors that they are meeting their obligations of the contract? I am sure there are many more people who drive pass these islands daily. It is so sad to see as we have a beautiful city and the first thing visitors see is the state of the islands, disappointing. Few months ago, we went to Blenheim. The council should look to see how they do it so well, stunning islands with flowers and trees. Hopefully somebody from the council will read this and follow up on how we can make our city beautiful again. Lorraine Coe

If anyone knows how to bounce back from a pandemic, it’s local comedian Nick Rado, who kicks off his latest comedy show at The Playhouse on Friday. Nick, who lives with his family in Richmond, has had a turbulent 18 months after getting a seemingly lucky break back in 2020. “I was offered a two-year TV deal hosting a comedy sports show in Australia, so I sold my home in Nelson and shipped all our worldly possessions overseas,” Nick says. “We were in the middle of the Pacific Ocean when Covid hit the first time, borders closed, and we were forced to return to New Zealand.” They lived out of suitcases for over a year while waiting to get their belongings from Sydney. “With moving costs coming in at $30,000, it’s became a bit of a joke that I basically paid for all our things to go on a very expensive holiday,” Nick says. Things changed for the better when Nick recorded a comedy album at The Playhouse in Māpua last January. It was launched in America and made it to number four of all sold albums on iTunes. “Off the back off that success I was offered an American tour, which was amazing, but then

Richmond’s Nick Rado kicks off his comedy tour at The Playhouse this Friday. Photo: Supplied. the second lockdown happened so that got scrapped, too. You couldn’t make it up.” With huge moving costs, a cancelled tour and a two-year television contract down the drain, Nick has now turned his crazy experiences into material for his new comedy tour Get Back Up. “Seeing as the country went into ‘Red’ alert just days before my tour started, I can’t help but wonder if I’ve done something to upset someone,” he says. “But we’re going ahead with the tour. It’s time for us to laugh, poke fun at and shake our heads in bemusement at the ridiculous past year(s) we’ve all had.” The clean-mouthed comedian was the opening act for Russell Howard’s New Zealand tour last year and says performing to 2000-seat venues was a fantastic experience. “I was only supposed to do one

date in Auckland for Russell, but I ended up doing 14 shows with him as he just kept adding dates to his tour,” Nick says. “The only gig I didn’t do with him was the Nelson one, which was pretty funny, as I was already booked elsewhere!” He says that he and Russell have kept in touch most weeks since they worked together. Nick’s new material will be based around life since Covid struck as well as his experiences of home schooling and lockdown and everything in between. “The good thing about the pandemic is that people are abiding working from home, so I’ve been writing stuff in my garage. I’ve loved being back in Richmond.” The Get Back Up comedy tour kicks off at Mapua Playhouse this Friday, 28 January. For tickets, go to eventfinda. co.nz. * *

Show your best flowers at local show Jenny Nicholson A family trip to the local flower show to relive a happy childhood memory led to Cheryl Thibodeau’s love of flowers. As a child she loved entering sand saucers in competitions and wanted her children to share that experience. “My son, who was nine at the time, fell in love with pompone dahlias and got us all hooked,” she says. Now as the president of the Brightwater Horticultural Society, she organises their flower shows. With the announcement of the country moving to red, the summer flower show has been cancelled. “Sadly, with the news that Omicron is in the community, and specifically the Nelson-Tasman

region, it is not feasible to hold the show,” Cheryl says. “We look forward to holding our Spring Show in September.” Cheryl says dahlias have taken off in popularity with many people growing them and enjoying them in a vase on the kitchen table. Arch Crerar has been growing dahlias for about 30 years. His love of gardening and competitions started at Dovedale School where each student was given a plot of land to work with a mate. While they focused on vegetables, he now sticks to growing flowers. “The horticultural side of life was huge back then because you survived on what you grew,” Arch says. “Now you can just go to the shop and buy a bag of carrots and they’ll last me about a month.” Cheryl says Arch usually does

very well in the flower show competitions. “You want dahlias to be smiling at the judges,” Cheryl says. “They shouldn’t be totally upright.” While the summer show has been cancelled, Cheryl says they would love to hear from anyone interested in knowing more about growing flowers or being part of the group. The flower shows are structured to appeal to a wide range of entrants with different sections, including ones for those showing for the first time. Along with dahlias, there are sections for gladioli, roses, floral art, container grown plants, vegetables, and fruit.

Sport Floyd a clip above Jonty Dine Collingwood man Floyd Haare hadn’t sheared in competition for almost a year but showed no signs of rust as he sheared 20 sheep in just under 20 minutes to take out Saturday’s Tapawera Shears competition. In the women’s event, Kimberley MacLean of Motueka took first prize as she shore three sheep in seven and a half minutes. The low numbers again highlighted the struggles in the coronavirus crisis, which has seen 24 competitions cancelled throughout country, and shortages of shearers in the workplace without numbers usually bolstered by shearers from overseas.

SportS Swimming: Hayden Squance and Abbey Smale left no doubt that they’re the form swimmers in this year’s Rylock Swim Series in Nelson Harbour, as they cruised to victory in race ten on Thursday.

Summer dressage series concludes The Richmond Roast House sponsored summer dressage series concluded with the third and final event in the series at Rough Island Equestrian Park last weekend, with local and away riders competing for class prizes as well as overall class champions. This year, for the first time in recent history, there were enough registered Level 1 pony entries for a separate pony class. There were some great combinations and it is fantastic that there are so many young keen riders out there. We’re very fortunate in Nelson to have so many fabulous sponsors getting behind our sport, which means riders took home a fabulous array of prizes in addition to ribbons and rosettes. The first in four of the Winter Series will be held at Rough Island

Equestrian Park on the last Sunday in April. Overall Summer Series results: Richmond Roast House Graded Series: Preliminary Champion – Rilee McMeekin; Reserve Champion – Wendy Maclean.

While they may not be advancing any further, the Nelson Griffins ended its Hawke Cup campaign in style with an outright win over Buller at Saxton Oval thanks in large part to a stunning performance by Jonty Raxworthy. Raxworthy claimed the sensational match figures of 10/59, taking a five-wicket bag in both innings. On a flat hard deck, Raxworthy produced plenty of seam movement as he tore through the Buller batsmen. Of his ten dismissals, eight were either LBW or clean bowled. “It was an absolute blast and the wicket was doing heaps, which was good.” Jonty says he hopes to carry his form back to club cricket with ACOB as he aims to crack the Central Districts ‘A’ side in 2022 with an eye on a possible

black cap in his future. “That’s the dream, to make it to that level.” Meanwhile, in local T20 action, Car Company Stoke/Nayland sent a timely reminder of its talents with an emphatic nine-wicket win over Nelson College on Saturday. Chasing what appeared a competitive total, Stoke cruised to victory in the 18th over with Darius Skeaping and Sean Neal finishing unbeaten on 78 and 60 respectively. Opener Sam John got College off to a solid start as he made 43 from 30 while Flynn Day chipped in with 27 in the middle order. Dylan Eginton took 3/32 off his four overs as Nelson reached 147/8. However, it proved not nearly enough with Skeaping blasting ten boundaries and two sixes in his dominant 59-ball innings. Elsewhere, NBS Athletic College Old Boys remains undefeated on the back of another

superb performance from David Zohrab. His 71 from 54 set ACOB up to score 166/6 against Waimea Toi Toi United, Amit Dhiman restricting the damage with figures of 4/23. Despite a 41-run partnership between Daniel Endersby and Ryan Flowers, WTTU fell 40 runs shy, Martin Slabbert acting the chief destroyer with 3/19 while Zohrab conceded just 13 runs from his three overs. The final match of the round saw Wakatu edge Taylors Contracting Wanderers Motueka by five wickets at Victory Square. Batting first, Wanderers struggled to 137/7 after Ryan Hooper claimed the prized scalp of Joseph O’Connor for a duck. Solid contributions from the Wakatu top order ensured a comfortable chase, Dustin Emms-Healey top scoring with 37 as the hosts reached 138/5 with seven balls to spare.

New Sweeting gets Year’s Day the lollies fishing

Jody Scott

Wade Sweeting continued his domination of trophy collections at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway, claiming the ‘Baby on the Move’ King of the Ring Stock Car meeting. The replacement meeting for the postponed South Island championship attracted a solid field of cars. The first heat saw a bit of bumper work being used before flat tyres on a couple of cars slowed the hitting. Roydon Winstanley and Dylan Clarke, both keen to have a stir but both suffering flat tyres, many happy to bank points in the first heat, Wade Sweeting picking up an easy win. It was déjà vu for Winstanley with another flat tyre early in heat 2, Morgan Dumelow pounced a blocking attempt on Sweeting to win heat 2 by a car length, but her chance of making a podium place was undone in heat 3 when she was put up the wall by Greymouth’s Robert Gaskill. Sweeting had a cruise to the chequered flag, and title win, with Greymouth regular Dave Houston finishing 2nd overall and Gaskell in 3rd, Leighton Stanton claiming 4th. The Quarter Midgets were on their 2nd round of their SMH series, Jack Brownlees picking up two wins and Malakai Webb winning the other.

A wee spill from Isabell Clark left her parked up the wall looking at announcers in the control tower. The club championship for the Sidecars ran with 4 bikes, Nathan Ching and Shaun Solly winning a tight battle with Wade Thorn and Brent Steer. The final round of the club T.Q. champs saw new-dad Jayden Corkill extending his point lead over the night to take out the Club title. Greymouth’s James Thompson 2nd with Alicia Hill 3rd overall, the feature win to a jubilant Cambell McManaway in the extended 25 lap race. John Schoester having a big roll in the feature heat adding to the season’s roll-over tally. The Production saloons were a bit light on numbers, but some clever racing made it an interesting night. David Allen holding several of the speedsters at bay with some precise driving lines, the range of ages on display with two drivers having birthdays the previous day; David Leitch his 76th and Kaylim McNabb his 27th. Street stocks have had a busy schedule of late, plenty in the sheds getting prepared for the next meeting. Kylie Hall making her debut in the class, Ryan Morrison claiming 2 wins and Richard Bateman the other in the borrowed 15n. The Youth Ministocks had

their final hit-out before a few head up to Rotorua for M.I.P meeting. Luke Higgins getting the most out of his refreshened engine, Toby Walker much improved this season picking up a big win in heat 1, Kierren Flower from Rotorua having his first look at the track while on holiday. The track staff have been busy over the past few weeks working on the lumpy turns, their efforts returning the track back to its usual flat surface, a bit of moisture underneath not allowing the clay to bind. The Sprint cars have been racing around the South Island in the War of the Wings Series, the local drivers dominating the results. Connor Rangi winning the feature in Christchurch, Stephen Taylor won in Greymouth a week later, Rangi was 2nd and Alicia Hill finished in 6th. Alex Hill qualified for the World 240’s Super Stock championship in Rotorua, he finished 9th overall after a huge final race. Brett Nicholls suffered a flat tyre on night one costing vital points, but had a good night two, finishing 3rd in the Super Stocks in Paradise tier. Racing resumes on 12 February, with Street Stocks and the Street-Car race as feature events if back at Orange Covid level.

Crystal Gaiger You can’t beat a summers day out on the water. New Years Day as the sun began to rise in Duncan Bay, Marlborough Sounds it was time to get out the brand new AquaZition rods Santa had put under the Christmas tree and give them a test run out towards Sentinel Rock. A quick stop on the way to the rock to try for an early snapper, but unfortunately no luck! Once we arrived at the rock we were amazed. It was a relatively flat, calm day and we were one of only two boats… seems like a few may have had a late New Year’s Eve and opted for a sleep in. A few casts around the rock, some nice cod and loads of annoying sea perch later we moved on to try for a groper in a deep hole. As we dropped down two lines, we joked about who would have to reel in the non-electric one! Just as we were about to give up the rod tip had some action and it was fish on… Thank goodness for the fish choosing the one with an electric reel, with

Brought to you by:

a solid 150m of water below us. After the magic reel did the hard work whilst we enjoyed a morning coffee it was reveal time, our much hoped for groper turned out to be a large school shark. With that we decided that was enough of the deep water, we reeled in our other line and headed to our favourite spot for some terakihi and trevally. A nice wee bin full of fish later it was time to drag a few lures in hope of a kingi on the way home. Not a bad way to start the year and we can’t wait to get back out and find those groper soon!

NEWSLINE UPDATES KE E PING YOU INFORM E D ABOUT NEWS AND EVE NTS IN THE TAS MAN DI STRICT

Get the latest information about Council services and facilities under the Covid-19 Protection Framework (traffic light system) on our website, tasman.govt.nz.

Look out for water restrictions Dry conditions caused by high temperatures and steady wind mean some parts of the District are already facing water restrictions. Please check our website and the radio for updates on the current water restrictions in place. Even if restrictions aren’t in place for you now, we all need to conserve water as much as possible as restrictions will likely be around for the next few months. There’s lots you can do at home and at work to reduce your water use. Check out our top tips at tasman.govt.nz/water-saving-tips and remember, every drop counts!

WATER SAVING TIP

ONLY USE THE

WASHING MACHINE WHEN YOU HAVE A FULL LOAD

Input is sought on a new Tasman Wastewater Bylaw It is essential that we can manage and control the type and volume of discharges to our wastewater system. The unpredictable nature of trade waste can have a significant impact on the operation of the system and treatment processes. A wastewater bylaw sets out the trade waste registration/permit application process and establishes the statutory authority for the recovery of fees and charges. The bylaw also sets out the requirements around wastewater system infrastructure that applies to all wastewater connections. In reviewing the previous bylaw, our staff have addressed issues associated with the management of trade waste and wastewater that have arisen since the last review in 2015. These include providing further guidance on what discharges are permitted or require a permit. It ensures it matches the regulations of Nelson City Council and the Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit and it provides further guidance on pressure sewer systems and swimming pool discharges. The draft Wastewater Bylaw is open for feedback until Monday 7 March 2022. Copies are available at all our service centres and libraries and on our website: tasman.govt.nz/ feedback.

Karaka berries are poisonous to dogs

The karaka tree is native to Aotearoa and can grow up to 15 metres high. It has thick dark leaves. The fruit ranges in size from 2.5 to 4 centimetres long and ripens from dark green to bright orange, and then falls to the ground.

Dog owners should be aware that the berries are highly toxic, and consumption of them by their pets can be fatal. Though risk is minimised while the unripe berries are still on the tree, people should keep an eye on their pets and if you suspect your dog has eaten karaka berries, contact a vet immediately.

As part of creating the Tasman Environment Plan, we are working on a project to identify the District's special places and safeguard them for future generations. We are doing this by outlining Tasman’s outstanding natural landscapes, outstanding natural features, and the coastal environment, and developing rules to help protect them from specific future activities that would impact what makes them so special. In autumn 2021, we began the process of working with landowners and our communities to make sure that we have the area boundaries in the right place and that future protective controls on activity are sensitive to aspirations. A summary of the feedback we received is available on our website. Updated draft maps with boundary changes will be released in the coming months. So far, we have made close to eighty changes to areas covering private land in response to the feedback we received. It’s important for landowners to know that before anything is finalised, we will be in touch again on the firmed-up boundaries and proposed policy response for your area. Environmental Policy Manager Barry Johnson said that when the team met with landowners and stakeholders last year, they talked in depth about what they are doing on their land and what they might want to do in the future.

You may have noticed a proliferation of dark green berries on karaka trees in coastal areas of Tasman recently.

At this time of year, the berries are abundant and trees are found in many public places around the District, particularly in areas adjacent to the coast but there are also many to be found in private gardens too.

Progress on projects to safeguard Tasman’s special places

“The team heard from the community that there is strong support for tailoring rules to recognise the differences between the identified areas.
