Waimea Weekly Locally Owned and Operated
Building sites targeted Sara hOLLyMaN

Local builders have been left thousands of dollars out of pocket after a flurry of thefts which have been labelled a sustained attack on people’s livelihoods by those in the industry. Local Master Builders approached Waimea Weekly after a spate of thefts, fearing that the prevalence of site thefts could become the new norm. Stonewood Homes managing director Brent Stewart, known by many as Stu, says after a few weeks of increased thefts, tradies are rallying together to increase security in new subdivisions. He says Berryfields in particular has been hit hard by theft over the past few weeks with some tradespeople seeing thousands of dollars of tools and materials taken from construction sites. Inhaus managing director Russell Campbell echoes Stu’s concerns saying a recent theft from a site of his resulted in around $45,000 worth of products being cut from a steel
container. “I know one company had six sites stolen from, another had four, another got hit a number of times over a period of time,” Russell says. He says the industry in under immense pressure with delays in consents, struggles to get materials in a timely manner, and increasing costs since Covid arrived in the country. Products such as plasterboard are becoming an item that is impossible to replace quickly and as such has become a target for thieves. They say they have heard of an instance where someone in high vis clothing, like a tradesperson wears, arrived on a site during the day claiming that they were swapping out an incorrect plasterboard order. Nothing seemed untoward to other tradespeople on site, so the thief was able to make off with an entire load of plasterboard. “The likes of gib [plaster-

Bob Bryan doesn’t have a special reason as to why he signed up to the air force during World War II. “Everybody did it,” he says. “The war was on, and it was just a way of life.” The year was 1941 and Bob had just turned 20. Bob was initially trained in Levin before he was deployed to Canada where he earned his wings in 1941. “I was away for three and a half years.” Serving in the air force was a nobrainer for Bob. “I love flying.” But that love got Bob in trouble. “I had a chequered career actually,”
he says. “I got court martialled for low flying.” He served two months in prison and was then later posted to India where he would eventually see combat. Bob flew Hurricane fighter planes as a fighter bomber pilot in 1943 and 1944. “We carried bombs,” he says. “We bombed and strafed Japanese positions in Burma.” Serving in the air force was an enjoyable experience for Bob. “I enjoyed squadron life,” he says. “It was a very close bond with all your other pilots. It had its moments, good and bad. It was an exciting life. Something you’ll always remember.” But despite the comradery, Bob says
his time at war was a sobering experience. “I suppose you matured pretty quickly. People accepted the responsibility at that age, and that’s what you did. It was a way of life.” Bob says he lost a lot of colleagues and friends during the war. “A lot of the people I trained with got killed,” he says. “If you got killed, you got killed. That was the way we lived in those days.” Having Anzac Day and being able to commemorate the efforts of his peers is a special experience for Bob. “It’s quite moving,” he says. “It’s your chance to remember your old mates who were killed.” “It’s nice that it’s recognised.”

Tools, gib and wire targeted in site thefts from PAGE 1 board], everybody knows that there are issues of supply, and undesirables may know that so may be selling it on the black market or using it themselves,” Stu says. Orders for plasterboard are having to be placed months in advance and to have that stolen creates a flow-on affect that will ultimately end with the consumer. “The flow-on affect is these clients are having to wait, what can be up to months, it’s holding that job up further which means people who are waiting to take ownership of their new home are needing to find other accommodations longer, which will add to financial pressures.” Milestone Homes general manager Adam Hills says it has become a sustained attack on people’s livelihoods.
“It’s always been a problem, you’ve got such big developments happening all at once with no residents so there’s an opportunity there for them, knowing that in all likelihood they’re not going to be seen. “That’s why we’ve seen thefts ramp up in the last few months, coupled with the cost of living being out of control,” he says. Another item that is being targeted is mains wiring, which is being cut from sites. “We were the first to get hit with the wiring theft two weeks ago, obviously they got some money for it so they’ve gone back and hit everyone,” Adam says. The wiring contains copper, which can be sold as scrap metal at a minimal price of around $13 per kilogram. “The length that they’re taking is of very little value but the time

Adam says on one of their de-
velopments the three companies involved are paying for a security company to go through a few times every night. “We’ve got people on camera at 3am trying to, and successfully, getting into containers. They’re professional, they’re not cutting locks they’re cutting hinges and they’re in and out, it’s a real challenge for us.”

Adam says they are exploring full cameras at the entrance as well as full fencing and increased security and locks on their next development. “It’s going to make life harder for everyone because scumbags think they can rip off the building company who can afford it, but they don’t think about who that affects.” All three are asking the public to take note of anyone on site at strange times, even if they are in high-vis and look like they should be there. “Please put in a phone call or take note, I’m happy to be contacted even if it’s another company’s build site, we would much rather check it out if someone thinks something doesn’t look right,” Adam says. He stresses not to approach people, but simply take note of the time or vehicle.

Richmond’s Anzac service a moment to remember JENNY NICHOLSON

Veterans and their families gathered at Sundial Square on Monday, to prepare for the Richmond Anzac Parade to the War Memorial Gardens on Cambridge St. Peter Harris welcomed the crowd of about 500 to the Anzac service at the gardens, acknowledging the many children who were there with family. He read a letter from the GovernorGeneral which honoured those who left families for shores unknown, not knowing if they would return. “Every veteran has painful memories left unspoken, and for every soldier, there is a family that has been touched.” Guest speaker John D’Rose spoke of the need to provide care for returning soldiers, and to honour those not returning. “To serve your country is honourable whether it is by ballot or by choice, whether full or parttime,” John said. After Beverly Fraser-Harris and Jan Blackmore called the roll, The Last Post was called by bugler Barry Burgess.

Brightwater fire station targeted by thieves JO KENT
jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz
A burglary at the Brightwater Fire Station on Spencer Place last week has left fire crew saddened that they have been targeted by thieves. Deputy rural controller Paul Shutte says the discovery was made on Saturday 16 April when crews were responding to a nighttime call out. “The driver noticed one of the lockers on the fire truck was open, which he thought was odd. When he went to close it, he noticed the one next to it was open too and a nozzle was on the floor. That’s when he realised we’d been hit.” Multiple items were stolen including a Wajax fire pump, yel-
low helmet with earmuffs and headset, two petrol cans, food and bottled water, a car battery and three LED floodlights. Other items were found discarded on the ground. “It’s shocking to think what could have happened if we hadn’t noticed some of the equipment was missing until we were on a job as that could have severely impacted the safety of someone’s life or their property.” Constable Jamie White says the offenders didn’t do any permanent damage as the fire truck wasn’t locked up, so items were taken from the vehicle without forced entry. “It is particularly disappointing to see our local volunteer fire brigade targeted. Our volunteers
Deputy rural controller for Brightwater, Paul Shutte, says it was lucky the theft was noticed before a call out. Photo: Jo Kent. sacrifice so much for the community and these thoughtless criminals could jeopardise their ability to turn out to a critical event, especially as they had taken things from the fire truck itself.” FENZ are now looking to implement police security recom-
mendations, which includes installing a large, lockable gate for the engine shed along with security lights and cameras. But until then, the rural tanker has been relocated to Appleby Fire Station leaving Brightwater with one fire engine instead of the usual two.
“That truck has been on site for 10 years and nothing like this has ever happened. The lockers are kept unlocked to save time when we are on a job as speed is of the essence,” Paul says. Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious vehicles or people in that area between Friday 15 and Saturday 16 April, or who may have come across a Wajax pump or Grizzly brand LED floodlights for sale. “There are no suspects at present, but a forensic examination has been completed and we have some lines of enquiry as a result,” Jamie says. If you have any information, contact 105 and quote crime number 220417/9783.

Two new bridges have opened to the public this month, one in Richmond’s Berryfields subdivision and one on the Great Taste Trail, linking Tapawera-Baton Rd to Baton Valley Rd. The new shared path bridge at Berryfields goes across Poutama stream at the Jubilee Park end of the Railway Reserve. The bridge connects Berryfields cycle and walkway with Richmond and is part of the Richmond West transport connections. Tasman District Council communications officer Darryn Palmer says the 3-metre-wide by 11-metre-long bridge is built out of timber and metal. “The build took place offsite by a local engineering firm and took

bridge opening with an informal get together at The Baton House, 2km up the road from the new bridge. Although the Baton bridge is fully open for use, there are still finishing touches being completed in the area adjacent to the structure including toilet facilities, a purpose-built rest area and wayfinding signage. “Building the cycle trail requires considerable funds and the Trust has been able to secure central government contestable funding, which is a mix of central and local government plus other contributions,” Elizabeth says. Since construction of Great Rides began in 2010, there has been over $7.2 million of external investment in the region. This investment has been matched with local funding.
two months to complete. It was then crane lifted into position last month.” The newly-opened bridge on the Great Taste Trail in Baton Valley is a significant milestone for the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust. Administrator Elizabeth Bean says the GTT is now one step closer to becoming a circular loop spanning 200km. “There has been significant effort over more than 10 years by landowners, council members, the Tapawera community, the Trust and those who have provided contract and construction services to get the Great Taste Trail to Tapawera and now to Woodstock via the Baton Bridge.” The Trust will hold a special celebration this Saturday, 30 April, to officially acknowledge the

Henley teacher leaves after two decades JO KENT A teacher who has taught at Henley School for nearly 20 years has closed her classroom door for the last time before moving on to Dovedale School next term. Finn Deeley, who solely taught Years 1 and 2, says living in Dovedale will make her daily commute much shorter. “I live in Dovedale and for 19 years have driven past the school on my way to Henley, so it will be nice to finally teach there.” There have been a lot of changes at Henley over the last two decades, but the main one has been the reliance on technology for both teachers and students. “We plan all our lessons online now and teaching is driven by technology, it’s very visual. It’s also important for students to learn how to use Chromebooks and become proficient in that virtual world.” Acting principal Natalie Doty says Finn will be remembered for the many roles she has held in her time at Henley School, most importantly as a classroom teacher. “She is also the teacher that

After some professional development, which Finn attended many years ago now, the school purchased several marimbas. She then developed learning programmes and upskilled the teachers so every class in the school has sessions to learn to play along to some tunes each year.” Finn is originally from Ireland
and is proud and loudly patriotic, especially when Ireland play the All Blacks (and win). She has shared her Irish culture and traditions with both her students and colleagues. “We will miss Finn’s bubbly laugh and all her stories about her horses and dogs,” Natalie says. “I know her current class at Henley will be delighted that her little soft toy dogs, Sit and Stay, will be remaining in Room 16 for the rest of 2022
so they can visit the hardworking students’ homes over the weekends.” Reflecting on her move, Finn says it’s saying goodbye to the children which will be the hardest thing. “I’ll miss all my students, both past and present,” Finn says. “I still get older kids who I’ve previously taught say hi if they bump into me at the mall or somewhere, so it feels like I’ve made a difference during my time here.”

A dozen great spotted kiwis will be released into Nelson Lakes National Park next week in a bid to boost numbers of the bird in the St Arnaud range. Department of Conservation senior ranger for biodiversity, Melissa Griffin, says the project started 18 years ago when nine pairs of kiwis were taken from the Kahurangi National Park and released into the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project area. “The first translocation happened all the way back in 2004 when we released 18 birds into the park. We’ve since discovered we need a minimum of 40 founding birds to have good enough genetic diversity to keep the population sustainable for the future.” The Friends of Rotoiti have funding through the Doc Community Fund to support the project and DoC has also received funding from Save Our Iconic Kiwi. “We are hoping to translocate 10-12 birds this year and then another 8-10 birds next year to put them into the St Arnaud range or the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project.” A team of experienced kiwi catchers are due to go into Kahurangi National Park next week for approximately seven days to catch as many birds as they can before flying them by helicopter to Lake Rotoiti the same day. Children from Lake Rotoiti School have also been invited to attend the release. If you’d like to volunteer or donate to Friends of Rotoiti, visit friendsofrotoiti.org.nz

Local chronic fatigue group offers support Jenny nicholson
Your electricity discount is on its way Network Tasman is pleased to announce that its consumers will receive a discount credit on their next power bill.
$6.9m of discounts to be provided to consumers Network Tasman will credit a total of $6.9m to consumers’ next power bills. Consumer ownership and a focus on cost efficiency has enabled Network Tasman to credit more than $218 million of discounts back to consumers in the region since the discount scheme’s inception in 1994.
When Ian was found slumped over the wheel of his car, he was helicoptered to Nelson Hospital. That was eight years ago and the start of a long and difficult journey. It took five years of MRIs and numerous blood tests to be diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). The little understood illness has no cure, but there is support. A few years on from diagnosis, Ian has taken over coordinating a local support group for men with ME and fibromyalgia and wants to connect with others who would benefit from the group. ME, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), mimics other illnesses with symptoms that include muscle pain, brain fog, memory disturbance, extreme fatigue, anxiety, and de-
pression. “Getting out of bed to go to the toilet can be like a 40-mile hike,” Ian says. He’s had a lot of frustration and anger at no diagnosis, the symptoms, and the loss of his job. “I had a complete feeling of uselessness,” he says. “There’s still a stigma out there as far as this illness goes. Someone I knew told me I was just being bloody lazy and to get off my butt and do something.” There was a time when ME was thought of as a psychological illness. University of Otago’s emeritus professor Warren Tate’s work has helped to reframe ME as a complex illness that involves an immune system dysfunction. Research he has been part of shows the illness is medical and not in the sufferer’s heads. Ian says ME can be socially isolating and understanding from his support group has
been a major help for Ian. The men don’t tend to talk about ME. Instead, they are just blokes having a chat. Ian used to enjoy a beer. Now, alcohol makes the symptoms worse, so he avoids it. Ironically, there are times he appears drunk, with slurred speech. For Ian’s wife, the early days after Ian’s collapse were a frightening time. “He was collapsing, and I couldn’t raise him no matter what I did,” she says. “I didn’t know if he had had a heart attack. One time I rang the ambulance, and they took quite some time to wake him.” “It’s like someone flicks a switch and the powers off.” For more information on the men’s ME, Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia support group, email strengthtogethernelson@gmail.com - With RNZ

The club, which has been active in the region for more than 40 years, focuses on building confidence and public speaking skills for its members through a nationally-recognised accreditation programme. Linda Bergman has been part of the club for about 30 years and credits it with helping her find her personal voice. “It gave me confidence, self-esteem, and skills that took me to an international-level of conference and events organisation.” President Sandra Johnson says the skills learned from Powertalk are widely applicable. Sandra says people like budding entrepreneurs or community and sport leaders could benefit from the programme. She says these sorts of roles require many interpersonal interactions that should be engaging and receptive to their listeners. But Powertalk Nelson-Waimea has been struggling for the past few years and is looking at having to close, despite its benefits and proven results. The club had a strong membership of 25 people a decade ago but has since dwindled to a small but committed six. While Sandra wants to keep the
club going, she doesn’t think it’s feasible if numbers remain low. “Do we keep doing this for the six of us? As much as we love it, it’s a lot of work to organise a programme each fortnight.” Linda says that there’s never been a better time to get involved in Powertalk given the slip in interpersonal skills following society’s shift to online during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Right now, with everybody working from home, no person-to-person chat, our organisation is more valuable now than it’s ever been.” Sandra says that Powertalk’s fortnightly meetings are built on member participation which ensures that active learning occurs while you attend. Powertalk meets twice a month at the Richmond Town Hall and its members take part in a few speaking activities. The newer, less confident members are coached along by the club’s accredited members in a judgementfree environment. “It’s a warm, friendly, safe place,” Sandra says. Linda agrees and urges anyone who is considering getting involved to sign up. “It’s the best thing you ever do for yourself.” If you’re interested in joining Powertalk Nelson-Waimea, you can give Sandra a call on 027 4766 0347 or email the club at power talknelson@gmail.com

t can be daunting presenting oneself for any kind of medical procedure but it certainly helps when the facility has been
designed to be as comfortable and inviting as possible. The recently opened purpose-built Tasman Day Surgery in the Lower Queen Street health hub in Richmond has been built with patient comfort in mind. With the Tasman region
Day Surgery has the most up-to-date operating theatre available in New Zealand. “It is amazing to think that this family business that has been operating right here since 1991 supplies many of the operating theatres around the country and into the Pacific,” says Lynda. “Their theatres are made to the highest standards and it has been exciting to work close-hand with such a prestigious local business.”
growing at such a pace it was very clear that new services were required in the area to meet the escalating need and also to help take pressure off the public service. Manager Lynda Wakefield was delighted to be a part of the new project which operates in partnership with the well-established Nelson Day Surgery in Collingwood Street. “Working in the health sector for twenty-seven years as both a nurse and an administrator, I have an absolute passion for health and helping people to feel relaxed around procedures that can be invasive,” she says. Her main area of expertise has been in endoscopy which covers a wide array of diagnostic tests. “Endoscopy

can diagnose problems early, and treat them at the same time. This prevents them becoming a cause of major ill- health later,” she explains. Lynda continues: ‘We are also offering a wide range of surgery and specialist procedures. All this is provided in an environment that is welcoming, comfortable and ultra modern. This helps reduce the stress that these procedures might otherwise bring.” The design of the facility has been carried out by Arthouse Architects and thanks to local firm Opritech, Tasman
Surgery team at Tasman Day Surgery. Keen to support other local enterprises, as much of the interior as possible has been purchased locally. Hand crafted furniture comes from Acorn Furniture in Motueka, linen is supplied by Alsco and even the sandwiches offered following surgery come from Vanilla Bean café next door. “It has been a real pleasure to work alongside other local businesses and support them as they have supported us,” says Lynda.
Open since March the new facility has already been receiving accolades from patients. “They love the calm and friendly atmosphere,” says Lynda. “Everyone who works here enjoys being in such a lovely environment and we are all totally patient-focused. We want everyone who comes through our doors to have the most positive experience possible.”

I was recently listening to an interview with Bono, lead singer of Irish rock band U2. His mother died when he was 14 and reflecting on this he said, “I began the journey by trying to fill the hole in my heart with music, with my mates, my band mates…but finally, the only thing that can fill it is God’s love. It’s a big hole, but luckily there’s a big love.” A guy called Augustine said something similar 1500 years earlier: “God has made us for himself, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Him.” Maybe you are experiencing grief at the moment. Or maybe, on reflection, you’ve Property Ma been trying to fill the hole in your heart with [fill in the gap]. In my own experience, I find myself agreeing with Bono: “The only thing that can fill my heart is God’s love. It’s a big hole, but luckily there’s a big love”.

Knowledge, empathy, experience, and compassion Long-standing, locally owned and operated veterinary service, Victory Vets, are thrilled to be opening its doors to the public at their brand-new clinic on Saxton Rd. Dr Brendan Hickman has co-owned Victory Vets with his wife, Dr Jacqui Hickman, and their colleagues Dr Adam Stanyer and Dr Rachel Stanyer, for the last seven years, purchasing the clinic in 2015. This month will see one of their dreams come to fruition with the expansion of a second practice opening in Stoke, called Nelson Vets. The business has seen immense growth since its beginnings, giving a rising need for a much larger space to meet its thriving demands. The team have taken a hands-on approach to the meticulous design and build of the spacious new clinic. They are delighted to launch Nelson Vets and continue to bring the same exceptional service from Victory Vets to new and existing clients in the region. “We want to be able to help our clients and animals to the best of our abilities and this clinic enables us to continue

Photo: Amy Russ. doing that, while still offering our wide and varied range of services,” says Brendan. “We are really excited to open the doors and share with everyone the beautiful, huge, new centre that we have created.” The stunning new top-ofthe-line clinic is located near Pic’s Peanut Butter Factory on the corner of Findlay Pl and
Saxton Rd in Stoke. It boasts three operating theatres, an endoscopy unit, a laboratory and X-ray room, specialised in-patient and animal recovery rooms, a pharmacy, and a fantastic retail space. Both of the locally owned veterinary clinics offer hugely competitive prices on all of their pet care accessories.
Brendan says, when customers ‘support local’ it is a two-way street. The
clinic is then, in return, able to give back their clients. “We really appreciate the backing we are given by the local community. People buying our products locally has a knock-on effect as this enables us to continue providing top-quality care at more reasonable rates.” The team of over thirty staff are passionate about providing the best quality care for all their animals and pet owners across both clinics. “We will be sending all of our more complex cases to the new Nelson Vets centre. Dr Adam Stanyer will initially be based there covering orthopaedics and keyhole surgeries, and Dr Kelly Phillips will be offering an integrated medicine service.” “We are really lucky to have such an amazing team on board and working together. They really go above and beyond, and care passionately about the animals.” The clinic’s motto is ‘Pets are Family’ and their absolute devotion to animal care is hugely apparent. “There are plenty of studies to prove

Knowledge, empathy, experience, and compassion that having a pet is hugely beneficial to the soul. We understand the massive value pets bring to people,” says Brendan, “How lucky are we to turn up for work in the morning and really be helping people with such a profoundly important part of their lives. Yes, there are very tough days, but it is all worth it when you know you have helped make a difference.” Working with local animal organisations remains a priority to the team, with their staff working closely with Natureland Wildlife Trust and Nelson SPCA. Manager of Natureland, Ruth Seabright, says the wildlife centre is a small conservation charity that does not have the resourcing to employ a dedicated vet or vet nurse, so the assistance given by Victory Vets and Nelson Vets is essential. “Having access to timely specialised care is vital for the trust. As you can imagine, getting an African Crested Porcupine to the vet’s is no easy task, so the teams flexibility to conduct home visits for some of our more special residents Dr Rachel Stanyer with Natureland Wildlife Trust senior keeper Alix Rimmer and 34 year old resident tuatara, Koi.

They are always striving to do what is in the very best interests of the animals.” Dog trainer and owner of Canine Know-how, Cat Watson, works closely with Victory Vets and Nelson Vets seeing the effort they go to on a daily basis and behind the scenes. “It is an absolute pleasure working alongside the team. As a qualified dog trainer, it is invaluable to have the support
of such a caring clinic and be able to use each other’s skills and knowledge to get the very best treatment and care for the dogs we see. I get to see the genuine passion these guys have for caring for our animals.

New Four Square owners enjoying the community Jenny nicholson Every child wants to own a dairy, and for Millie and Bode Hay their dream has come true. It’s not quite a dairy, it’s actually a supermarket, but Millie and Bode’s parents Anna and Nathan are the new owners of Brightwater’s Four Square. The family arrived in Brightwater on 4 March and took over as owners on Monday 28 March. Anna says they are super excited to start this new adventure. “We have dreamed of owning our own supermarket,” Anna says. They come with a lot of experience in the supermarket industry with Nathan having worked for Foodstuffs South Island for ten years, recently as group manager of PAK’nSAVE South Island. Anna learnt the ropes at New World St Martins Christchurch. When not working it’s more adventure, with Nathan having completed the Coast to Coast several times.

section one year.” She says they feel super lucky and grateful to have secured the shop in Brightwater. “It’s such a great community and a wonderful place to bring up kids.” Nathan says he and Bode have already tried out the local mountain bike tracks and spent hours at McGazzaland. While Millie, 10, and Bode, 7, don’t get to raid the shelves for their favourite treats, they are keen to work in the shop. While Millie is looking forward to meeting people, Bode is more interested in stocking the lolly shelves. Both Anna and Nathan say highlights so far are the friendly community and getting to know their amazing team. Although the shop is open 7.30 am to 7.30 pm seven days a week, Anna says they will still have time to explore the region. “We have definitely got amazing staff,” she says. “They are all over it.”

Fees-free mechanics workshop After six months on-hold due to Covid restrictions, a local mechanic will once again be offering free workshops on vehicle mechanics but will now be open to all, not just females. Brightwater Motors, best known for its popular women’s mechanics workshops Chicks That Fix, is now launching Mech 101 (for everyone) with the first workshop planned for Thursday, 5 May, at 6pm. The series of workshops offered on the first Thursday of each month at Brightwater Motors is an opportunity for anyone, no matter their age or gender identity, to tune up their knowledge of car basics in a relaxed and supportive environment. Brightwater Motors owner Dave Gilberd says the move
them mid-last year in order to meet the need of a growing divergence in skillsets. While Mick introduces newcomers to the basics of car mechanics Dave takes the more experienced returnees through new areas of learning. Participants receive follow-up notes after each session and are kept in the loop as the next session date comes around. The sessions are free, with koha donations invited for charity on the night. The team are still looking to offer Chicks That Fix sessions to those wanting exclusivity on an ad-hoc basis, but for now they hope to see a return of Chicks That Fix participants, as well as newcomers, to the Mech 101 programme. “Mech 101 is for everyone,
comes from a desire to empower more members of the local community in automotive engineering. “We know there are a lot of people out there who are daunted by car mechanics, or embarrassed that they don’t know more,” Dave says. “We don’t want those people to feel limited by any exclusions we put in place.” He says the potential for bonding between partners, friends and whānau through the workshops is also a powerful driver. “At its heart my wife, Natalie, and I always saw these workshops as a way for communities to connect.” The couple, who co-facilitate the sessions, invited aircraft mechanic Mick Preston to join

Connor Rangi wins ‘War of the Wings’ JODY SCOTT A battle between two Nelson drivers has seen Connor Rangi claim the Hydralink ‘War of the Wings’ title at Christchurch’s Ruapuna Speedway on Saturday night. Connor’s slick pass on fellow Nelson driver Stephen Taylor was crucial in the final race of the hard-fought series. Stephen had led the series until an epic 30 lap race, 5th round meeting in Cromwell where Connor had claimed victory, giving him a slight 15 point

lead heading into the finale on Saturday night at Ruapuna. The finale was a battle right to the end, Connor had won the time trials with Stephen only 13th fastest. Both were drawn in group 4, their heat one results had Connor finishing 2nd while Stephen was 4th. Heat two saw Connor cross in 3rd and Taylor 5th, but Stephen made up valuable points by winning the 6-lap dash while Connor came in 6th. It was all down to the 30-lap feature race, Stephen was off
pole with Connor on grid 6. American Jonathon Allard got the jump on Stephen at the start, before he dropped another spot back with Kapiti’s Jamie Larsen moving to 2nd. Connor was making up places and as Stephen battled with Jamie after a restart, Connor slipped past both of them with just a few laps to go. Jonathon took the win but the 2nd placing for Connor was enough to secure the ‘War of the Wings’ title by 25 points with Stephen finishing runnerup in his series debut season.

Christine Gillespie has defended her national bantamweight title with a unanimous victory in Whanganui. Fighting in the under-54kg division, Christine dominated her opponent to win 30-27 on two judges’ scorecards and 29-28 on the remaining three. “I’m over the moon,” says Christine. “That’s the first time I’ve fought her and she wasn’t too bad. Utilising her less traditional southpaw stance, Chrstine landed some of her trademark overhand rights throughout the tournament to walk home victorious. Her semi-final bout ending in a third-round referee stoppage after she started landing bombs on her opponent. “I just wanted to get the first girl out of the way. . . I went at that other girl because I felt I was stronger than her. “It’s always been my goal to have a stoppage and I finally got one. That topped it off quite nicely.”
She says she and her corner, coach Billy Meehan, were confident they’d done enough to come away with a winning decision in the final. Billy has coached Christine for the last eight months after she convinced him to come out of retirement to coach her. Now boasting an 11 win and five loss record, Christine says her next goal in the sport is to defend her title for a second time at the next nationals in December. “I’ve just opened a gym in Richmond and I’d like to get that going. I’m the only boxer in Nelson competing at this level and it’d be awesome to have some more people come up.” In the long term, she says her aspirations are to represent New Zealand at the Commonwealth or Olympic games level. “I tried for Commonwealth, but they don’t have an under-54kg (division) in this time, but they’ll have it in Paris in 2024. “On the (turning) professional side of things, we’ll just look and see.”

Richmond Athletic got its title defence off to the best possible start with a 2-1 win over FC Nelson at Guppy Park on Saturday.

Wanderers has made a claim as one of the leading contenders in this season’s senior rugby competition with a big 55-5 win over Stoke. Wanderers’ third win in as many weeks sees the Brightwater-based club firmly in the top half of the competition. But its win over Stoke would have felt particularly good considering the men-in-red’s strong start to the season. Meanwhile Waimea Old Boys has continued its tough start to the season with a 42-22 loss to a firedup Marist at Trafalgar Park. The game was also the inaurugal playing of the Frank Monopoli Cup, dedicated to the staunch Marist life member who tragically passed away just before Christmas. Despite a lack of discipline, with four players sent to the bin and being reduced to 13 men at one stage, Marist were more clinical in taking
