Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne has announced he will not be seeking re-election for a fifth term in this year’s local body elections.

Richard and his wife Jane announced together that he would be stepping down from his role as Mayor after this year’s election, a role he has held on to for the past 12 years, serving four consecutive terms as the Mayor of the Tasman District.

Richard spent the previous six years as a councillor before running for Mayor in 2007.

Richard said that serving the Tasman community has been an “honour and a privilege” and thanks the community for their continued support and faith in him during his time as Mayor.

When asked how long he had been considering retiring from his role as Mayor, Richard said “It’s not a new thought, it’s probably something that’s been cogitating for three years, and then by the end of last year I kind of thought, ‘Yep, I’ve made my mind up’ but I wanted to announce it at the right time.

“Coming in to this last term, there were times that I would think ‘Oh, man’ whereas I didn’t used to think that … so I think its time for someone else to pick up the baton.”

“Being mayor is a complete commitment” Richard said, when asked about the demands of the job.

“He’s working upwards of 70 hours a week,” says Jane.

There have been many highlights over Richard’s 12 years in office, but he says “The mayoralty is never about single issues but working in the best interests of the whole community.”

However, Richard said that one of his proudest achievements was getting the Waimea Community Dam over the line.

“Despite the challenging process to get to this de-

cision, it was with great satisfaction that the decision was made to proceed. It is my view that the drought we have experienced this year demonstrates the need for the dam.”

The council confirmed on Friday, November 30, that the Waimea Community Dam would be built with councillors voting 9-5 in favour of the project.

After the meeting, Richard had said he would make a decision on whether or not he would run for a fifth term by early January, but his decision making was delayed by the Drought and Fire during January and February.

“Despite the challenges,

ginning

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as mayor.”

Richard acknowledges the support that he has received throughout the years, including from his wife Jane, his Deputy Mayor Tim King, and the members of the community who have continually supported him.

The exiting Mayor is still considering his options for life out of office but has said that his focus will remain on the council until a new Mayor is elected in October. Jane says that she has already started planning for a holiday.

“Tasman District is growing and thriving, and it has been a privilege to be your Mayor.”

Candidates come forward Matt McCrorie Candidates are already starting to announce their intentions for Tasman’s top job in what looks to be an extremely competitive race, days after current Mayor Richard Kempthorne announced he would not be seeking re-election.

Three local candidates have declared their intention to run for the job so far, with more expected to follow in the coming months. Among the early contenders are former Mayoral candidate Maxwell Clarke, Motueka Community Board member Brent Maru, and Dean McNamara, councillor for the Moutere / Waimea Ward.

Many of the candidates announced earlier than expected, when it was revealed late last week that incumbent Mayor Richard Kempthorne would not be seeking re-election.

Dean, a first term councillor,

said that he had already made the decision to run before this week, and said that his platform would be one of ‘fiscal prudency.’ Dean said that the district was “in need of a change of leadership, and more than just a change of face.”

Dean says that “As a business owner I know that every dollar you save is easier than making two new ones.”

Another candidate who has come forward, is Brent Maru.

Brent is currently the community board chairman for Motueka and has spent the last 19 years managing sport facilities for Sport Tasman. Brent says “for 30 years I have worked around the council, and closely with the community.” Brent is aware of the challenges and knows that the job is “a bigger beast” than what he is used to, but that his experience makes him qualified.

Maxwell Clark, who previously ran for mayor in 2016, is also after another shot at the

job. Maxwell says that the current council is “out of control with their spending” and that the council needs to “spend within its means.” Maxwell is concerned about the ageing population who are on a fixed income and will not be able to keep up with rising rates. Maxwell runs the Medimax ambulance service and has management experience which he says would help him run the district council.

Deputy Mayor, Tim King is “seriously considering” a crack at the top job but is yet to confirm anything. Tim has been deputy since 2001 and has filled in as mayor at different times in the last 18 years. Being close to the mayor, Tim says “I know the demands of the job.”

Candidate nominations for all elected council positions open on July 19 and close August 16, and voting will take place between September 20 and October 12.

NZ music pioneer

Richmond resident Jim Carter, who turns 100 this week, will forever have a special place in New Zealand music history, having played lap steel guitar on Blue Smoke, the first song recorded and manufactured in New Zealand. It was also a huge hit. Photo: Colin Williscroft

The first time Jim Carter heard the sound of a steel guitar he knew it was the instrument for him.

“There was just something about it,” the Richmond man who turns 100 this week says, “there’s nothing like it.”

Jim was only 17 years old at the time and he loved the sound so much he started taking lessons in Wellington as soon as he could.

It was about a year later that he started playing gigs with bands in halls around the capital and Hutt Valley on Friday and Saturday nights, and from there he moved into radio broadcasts, joining the 2YA orchestra, playing in it for seven years.

“They were all top musos apart from me,” he says with a smile.

“I learned a lot from them,” talking of the big band that broadcast over the airwaves from a Wellington studio every week.

“Radio had only just really come in,” Jim says. “We had gramophones to play records but there was no TV. We always went to the movies once a week.”

Back in those days music did not pay the bills, so Jim spent more than 40 years working for the Post Office in a variety of roles.

“If it hadn’t been for that (music) I don’t know what I would have done,” he says.

“My wife used to love dancing but I was absolutely hopeless at it, so she danced and I played in the band.”

Although he played on many records during his 35 years of making music, it’s Blue Smoke that will be remembered most.

Not only was the 1948 release a huge hit, selling more than 50,000 copies, it was the first record to be recorded and manufactured in New Zealand - and then released on a New Zealand label.

Blue Smoke was given a new lease of life in 2015 when Neil Finn, once of Split Enz and Crowded House and currently touring the States with Fleetwood Mac, recorded a new version of it with Jim in Jim’s lounge.

Neil wanted to do something for Anzac Day, Jim says, and he thought Blue Smoke would suit.

“He found out I was still alive and came down here. I was really chuffed,” he says.

The feeling was mutual.

Neil, contacted by the Waimea Weekly last week in Philadelphia during the Fleetwood Mac tour, wished Jim a happy birthday.

“What an amazing milestone to turn 100 years old,” Neil says.

“It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life to meet you with my son Liam and spend an afternoon in your company, and to get to play Blue Smoke with you was simply magic.

“I left Nelson feeling very inspired by your kind and thoughtful presence, your natural charm and enthusiasm for music. I hope I can make it so far with so much style.”

Jim moved to Richmond with his wife June in 2000. Unfortunately, June died in 2011 after the couple had been married for 67 years. A photo of her still takes pride of place in his home.

Since then Jim has lived independently at his Richmond home, happily

turns 100 looking after himself, and still driving.

Although he’s the first to admit “present-day music is just a mystery to me”, that’s not the case when it comes to using up-to-date technology, with an iMac providing a valued connection to the music he still loves, allowing him keep in touch with the world of steel guitar by watching clips on YouTube of new exponents of the art.

As for his birthday, there will be a gathering at his home, and while he might not like to play in public any more, it’s more than likely one of those steel guitars will come out and those there will be treated to some sounds performed by the last living connection to a time when New Zealand rock ‘n’ roll music moved into a new era.

Regional confidence falls sharply Only a quarter of households in the top of the South Island and West Coast are feeling optimistic about the economic future according to a recent survey – well down on the end of last year.

Twenty-six per cent of households in Nelson, Marlborough and the West Coast are feeling optimistic about the economic outlook for their region over the coming year, according to the

Westpac-McDermott Miller Regional Economic Confidence survey for the March 2019 quarter.

This represents a huge drop from the 51 per cent posted for the December 2018 quarter.

“Confidence in this region’s future is likely to have been adversely affected by large wildfires that wreaked havoc in the Tasman region, resulting in large scale evacu-

ations and property losses in early February,” Westpac chief economist Dominick Stephens says.

“That said, confidence about the region’s future economic prospects still sits somewhere mid-table when compared to other regions,” Dominick says.

“This is likely to be because the region has benefitted from above-trend population growth, falling unemploy-

ment and rising commodity prices, which has helped to boost the region’s agricultural and forestry sectors.”

According to the latest Real Estate Institute of New Zealand figures, released late last week, farm property sales are flucuating, with solid activity and strong prices for quality finishing units; fewer sales of grazing properties and little action in the horticultural sector.

Victims of terror remembered Jonty Dine He sought to divide the nation but the man responsible for last week’s terror attack in Christchurch has made New Zealand more united than ever.

The 50 lives lost were honoured across New Zealand on Friday as Kiwis stood hand in hand in a show of unity with the Muslim community.

The top of Hardy St was closed to traffic as mourners came in their thousands to pay their respects at the Nelson Islamic Cultural Society.

The crowd observed a twominute period of silence at 1.32pm, one week removed from the horrific events of Christchurch.

Following an emotional haka and waiata performed by Nelson College, Dr Moayid Sherif spoke of the humanity our nation has shown in the wake of the attack.

“The sadness that has fallen on the Christchurch community

is a sadness felt by all New Zealanders.”

He says the atmosphere of love and support is exceptional.

“We will not be torn by this, we will mourn, but we will stand up much stronger.”

Members from various religions, cultures and political parties spoke of the need for compassion in this time of grief.

Nelson MP Nick Smith says respect for all cultures and a zero tolerance towards violence needs to be addressed to ensure the events of Christchurch are never repeated on our shores.

“I pledge my support to ban semi-automatic weapons,” he said to applause.

He says we need to curb the spread of hate and that there was an irony in Friday’s mass gathering.

“The perpetrator wanted to spread racial hatred and violence, he has achieved the exact opposite.”

Cello concerto concert centrepiece

Cellist Rolf Gjelsten will perform with the Nelson Symphony Orchestra this weekend. Photo: Supplied.

The Nelson Symphony Orchestra’s first concert for 2019 Czech Mate! will take place at the Auditorium, Nelson Centre of Musical Arts this Saturday.

The concert will begin with one of Antonin Dvorak’s popular Slavonic dances.

The centrepiece of the programme will be the performance of Dvorak’s well-known cello concerto with soloist Rolf Gjelsten.

Rolf, who is originally from Victoria in Canada, has been the cellist in the New Zealand String Quartet since May 1994. In 2014 he was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for his outstanding services to music in New Zealand.

Dvorak’s symphony From the New World occupies the second half of the programme.

Czech Mate! will be conducted by the NSO’s Director of Music, Nigel Weeks.

The concert is in the auditorium at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts on Saturday, March 30, and begins at 7.30pm.

Students peace chain aims to show solidarity Matt McCrorie Last week, Waimea College students created a “peace chain” in a move of solidarity with the people of Christchurch, including the students of its partner schools, Papanui High School and Cashmere High School.

Two of Waimea’s head students, Bronte Hall and Elizabeth Bailey, organised the peace chain as soon as they heard about the events in Christchurch. “We heard from other students throughout the country about the idea on Saturday and emailed our principal Mr Haines as soon as we had the idea.”

Cashmere High School lost two students in Christchurch’s terror attack, and has an important relationship with Waimea College, including regular sporting events.

“Nearly every student and staff member wrote a message of love and peace for the people of Christchurch, including the students of schools affected,” Bronte says.

“It’s about showing that we don’t stand for this sort of violence, or for racist attitudes. There is no place for racism in our schools.”

The peace chain was also a way to help Waimea students, who, like the rest of the nation, were grieving for the 50 lives lost in Christchurch.

“It has helped our fellow students. They felt like they could grieve and offer their love and support to those who need it,” Elizabeth says.

Forest fire concert on track

Local businesses are getting behind a silent auction that is being held as part of the forest fire concert on April 13.

Some of the items donated so far include Richmond Mall vouchers worth $2500, a week’s campervan use provided by Discover New Zealand Motorhome Rentals, and a 7 by 4 caged trailer provided by Tasman Trailers.

Chris Welby of Tasman Trailers says he is very happy to support anything associated with the forest fire concert, as a way of saying thanks to all those responders and volunteers for the work they did to protect the local community.

The trailer Chris has put up for auction is locally designed and sells for $1795.

Headline concert act, The Waratahs, will travel to the fire site and Wakefield while they’re here to get a better idea of what happened while the area was in a State of Emergency.

The event kicks off at 1pm on Saturday, April 13, at the A and P showgrounds in Richmond.

Responders and volunteers get in free with their immediate family, which includes children and partners only.

There is a small general public charge of $10 for adults and $5 for kids under 15. In the interests of keeping things simple, it’s a gate charge and cash only. Families are welcome to bring a chilly bin and seats.

Organisers have asked everyone involved to spread the word and make sure as many people as possible turn up. There is free parking available at the town end of the A and P showground entrance. At the time of printing there were two slots available to any local bands who think they can put on a great performance.

Chris Welby of Tasman Trailers has donated a caged trailer to the forest fire silent auction.

Water restrictions relaxed Water conservation is still needed but recent rain combined with recovering river and groundwater levels mean water restrictions for the Waimea area have been moved back to Stage 1.

That means a 20 per cent cut in permitted allocations for permit holders across the Waimea Plains.

People connected to the reticulated water supply in Richmond, Hope, Brightwater, Mapua, Ruby Bay and Wakefield may now water their gardens using handheld hosing on alternate days.

Sprinklers are banned but other outdoor water use is permitted.

Dry Weather Taskforce convenor Dennis BushKing says, while rain over recent weeks has provided relief to the district’s struggling water sources, people still needed to be careful and conserve water.

“We continue to be very grateful for the voluntary water-saving efforts residents and businesses are making. We’re able to relax some of the restrictions, but please do keep up your water conservation efforts as our water supplies are not back to full strength yet.

“The Wai-iti dam is still only 20 per cent full. We are not yet out of the woods and there are still four to five weeks of irrigation to go as crops are harvested.”

Conditions will be reviewed this week, but in the meantime people should still use their water wisely, Dennis says.

Chanelle Hibberd and Claudia Gillespie.

Fifteen students participated in shaving their locks on Friday at Waimea, and together raised around $3000 to do-

nate towards the fund-raising effort.

Shave for a Cure runs every year and raises money for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand, and the

fund-raising goes towards core services, patient support programmes, research, information, awareness, and advocacy. LBC receives no government funding.

Mia Piggon holds the torch carried by the peace runners while Jerome Sinclair waits for his turn.

Peace run stops by intermediate A peace run that is visiting every country in the southern hemisphere stopped off at Waimea Intermediate last Wednesday.

The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run is a global relay that aims to inspire the creation of a more peaceful world.

Around 15 pupils joined relay team members as they ran from Avery Field to the school, a distance of about 1km.

They were welcomes with a peace song sung by school pupils, along with a peace item performed by the school choir.

The peace runners, from the United States, Croatia, Czech Republic, Australia and Bulgaria, performed skits that demonstrated peaceful and non-peaceful behaviour to

show what can be accomplished helping others and being kind.

They will be in New Zealand for about three and a half weeks, and relay teams will cover up to 100km a day as they run about 2700km from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

The relay team took away with them artwork created by pupils from Waimea Intermediate, which will be put on display at the Colosseum in Rome.

Founded in 1987, the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run is the longest and largest torch relay event in the world.

Those who have held the torch at some point in the past include Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, the Queen, Ritchie McCaw and Muhammad Ali.

Water tips winner

Traffic delays at Brightwater

Drivers are frustrated with another set of road works on State Highway 6 in Brightwater.

It has been reported that the works have been causing long delays along the Highway, and that some commuters in the morning have been facing wait times of up to 50 minutes. The New Zealand Transport Agency says that the drought and the fire have caused delays to the work that was set to be completed earlier this year, as well as quality reviews.

System management manager Andrew James says that “Since work was first conducted there have been issues with the quality of the surface.

The work conducted up until now has not been to the expected high standards and we will be working as quickly as possible to rectify existing issues and provide certainty for the community.”

As work is undertaken, traffic management will be in place for two weeks with a temporary speed limit and stop/go during interpeak periods only.

Jacqueline Watson won the Tasman District Council’s recent water saving tips competition.

“Kids are swimming and the adults are using the spa instead of showering, we have a Flexi tub in shower for when we do use it. We wash hair in laundry with a tub to catch the extra water. We have tubs in every sink of the house so we can water the garden still, dishes are done in a bucket. We have put 2lt bottles of water in the cistern of each toilet so we flush less water. We catch washing machine water for flushing. We also use baby wipes for

WEDNESDAY 27 March 2019 washing hands and faces so we don’t need to turn on the taps to wet facecloths.”

Runner-up in the competition was Robyn Halkett.

The winner of the competition to reduce water use, with a prize of dunking Mayor Richard Kempthorne, will be announced at a later date.

Zoo makes appointment

Natureland Wildlife Trust has announced the appointment of international zoological adviser Grant Abel as acting director of Nelson’s Natureland Zoo. Grant has more than 25 years of leadership and hands-on experience in zoos and aquaria in Asia, and continues to provide consultancy services interna-

tionally.

“We are thrilled to make the announcement of Grant’s appointment,” says Alan Hinton, chairman of the Natureland Wildlife Trust.

Born in Christchurch, Abel was raised in Hawkes Bay until the age of 13, when his family moved to Hong Kong. He has worked in zoos, aquaria, and commercial enterprises in Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia. He has also engaged in wildlife conservation projects and delivered staff training programmes in countries including China, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, and Nepal.

Alan thanked former director Meg Rutledge for her “profound and significant contribution”.

Neighbours’ Day celebrated

To celebrate International Neighbours’ Day, Community Support Waimea organised a family fun day that took place last Sunday afternoon at Easby Park in Richmond. The event was a great way for locals to get together and get to know one another, and the police, firefighters, and civil defenders were there, along with the local scouts, who put on a fund-raiser barbecue. Organisers say the event went well overall, but that they didn’t have as many people as they were originally expecting due to the race Unity Day in Victory Square being rescheduled from the week before because of the mosque terror attacks in Christchurch, meaning it was at the same time as the family fun day. Thousands of people gathered at the Race Unity Day to show their support to different groups of people who live in the region.

WEDNESDAY 27 March 2019

Farmers to benchmark sheep flocks Farmers from around the Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough region are among those taking part in this year’s New Zealand Ewe Hogget Competition, now in its 23rd year.

Spokesman for the Top of the South section of the competition, John Harwood, says with the recent dry whether organisers were unsure just how much interest there would be in the event, which aims to promote excellence in the sheep industry by giving farmers the opportunity to benchmark their flocks against others at both a local and national level, as well as being able to compare different farming systems, while learning from other competitors and judging panels.

“It’s been so dry we just were not sure what would be around (stock).”

The local event will feature stock from six properties and all judging will be done by a travelling panel on Friday, April 5.

It will begin at Eleanor Greenhough’s Moutere property from 8.30am until 9am, before moving to the Parkes farm in 88 Valley, with judging there from 9.35am to 10.05am.

From there it would be up to the Thornicroft’s at Lake Rotoiti, between 11am and 11.30am, then heading to the Robillard farm in the Howard Valley, with judging there scheduled for noon until 12.30pm.

After a break for lunch at the lake from 1pm to 1.45pm, judging will resume again at the Campbell property near Seddon from 3.15pm to 3.45pm, before the day winds up at the Newton’s, near Havelock, from 4.45pm to 5.15.

Anyone in those areas who is interested is welcome to come along, John says.

The judges are Motueka’s Willie Mitchell and John Taylor from PGG Wrightson.

The Mapua Boat Club regatta is open to any type of seaworthy craft. Photo: Supplied.

Regatta to promote club Organisers of this weekend’s Mapua Boat Club regatta hope to use the event to promote the club and what it does in the community.

Spokesman Brian Holbrook says this Sunday’s regatta is open to any type of seaworthy craft, including yachts, kayaks and paddleboards.

One of the highlights of the afternoon will be the race for the Mapua Cup between teams from the club and the Mapua Sea Scouts, rowing cutters between the wharf and Rabbit Island.

This year’s winner will receive the Mapua Cup, which has been created

by Mapua sculptor Arthur Hawke.

Arthur’s work is well-known in the area, with his sculpture of Hamish, a heron, which graces the wharf, a local landmark.

His sculptures are made out of straightened horseshoes, so the winners of the Mapua Cup may struggle to lift it.

As part of this year’s regatta the club, which has about 100 members, will have noticeboards providing details

Nelson Matters Race Unity Day on Sunday was special. I have been attending the annual event in Victory Square for 20 years but never was it more poignant. I never thought New Zealand would ever experience the sort of racially motivated atrocity that I associated with Nazi Germany, the Bosnian war or the 9/11 attacks in the US. March 15 was a brutal wakeup call that racial hatred exists in dark corners of all societies, including ours.

The delay in Race Unity Day for a week was appropriate. We first needed time to grieve for the 50 lives lost and to support our Muslim community. My work last

week was dominated by organising with our Muslim community the ‘Hands around Nelson’s Mosque’ commemoration in Hardy Street. I am so grateful to all those who generously contributed and the thousands of Nelsonians who participated. It was a powerful statement to have Nelsonians of all faiths, all cultures, all political persuasions and all ages hand in hand surrounding our Muslim community in grief and love.

There will be months of debate ahead on tightening our gun laws, strengthening our security services and better regulating the spread of hate on the internet. However, the

best insurance against the sort of atrocity in Christchurch is tackling the cultural intolerance that sparks such violence.

That is why we need to be so appreciative of the work of our Multicultural Nelson Tasman organisation and people who lead it like Luz Zuniga and Mary Bronsteter. Their work is about much more than the beautiful national costumes and tasty food stalls on display at Race Unity Day. It is about appreciating the diversity of humanity and that people from all corners of the world share the same basic human desires to love, to get ahead and to live in peace.

My wife Linley and I’s lives were hugely enriched as AFS exchange students to different parts of the world for a year as teenagers. The AFS programme was initiated in 1914 by ambulance field staff from WW1 desperate to prevent the suffering from racial conflict and war.

Exchange programmes are just as important today. I thank our schools and polytechnic, the programme coordinators, host families and organisations like Rotary that support this work for cultural understanding.

My challenge from Race Unity Day is for us all to make an effort to be more inclusive. We need to

of some of the club’s other events and activities, including the annual kids fishing competition and the maritime museum.

Brian says last November’s fishing competition was the most successful one yet, while the museum, which contains a range of artefacts and audio visual displays, is going from strength to strength.

Guided tours of the museum will be available at the regatta.

The regatta starts around 12.30pm and will run to about 3pm.

put aside our shyness, the language barriers and worry about causing offence and engage more. It might be as simple as saying “Hi” with a smile at the supermarket queue, encouraging your child to invite a new friend home to play or including your new work colleague at your next BBQ. The tragic loss of life in Christchurch will forever be a stain on New Zealand’s reputation as a safe, tolerant and peaceful country. We cannot undo it but we must use it to drive a renewed commitment to our core kiwi values of freedom of religion, racial equality and zero tolerance of violence.

Folk veterans on tour Acoustic string duo Ktoo kick off their West Coast tour with a performance in Murchison next Friday night.

Kevin McLoughlin and Kevin Ikin, two folk veterans who have family links to the Coast, are promoting their CD Land of the West, which was released in December 2017.

After their concert at the Murchison Theatre on April 5 at 7.30pm, they will pay shows at Westport, Karamea, Hokitka and Okarito.

Ktoo have unearthed tall and true tales from many sources, reflecting the character of the region and its people - sto-

ries from the goldfields, coal mines, towns and landscape of the Wild West, not forgetting the weather.

As well as original tunes, the show will include songs from colonial balladeer Charles Thatcher, Phil Garland, Willow Macky, Alwyn Owen and poems from Dave Ogle and the former West Coast MP Paddy Blanchfield that they have set to music Instrumentally, Ktoo is as diverse as their material. The duo accompanies its songs on guitars, tenor banjo, mandolin, ukulele, bass, bouzouki, harmonicas and percussion.

On the West Coast tour Ktoo will be accompanied by special guest Susan Ellis on violin and cello.

Kevin Ikin’s maternal grandfather, James Penno, was born in 1880 in the gold mining settlement of Lyell in the Buller Gorge. His mother, Royella, one of eleven children, was born in Westport, where the family lived before moving to Otago to farm.

Kevin McLoughlin’s mother, Alma Chalmers, was born in Gladstone Siding in the late 1910s, and grew up in Ross.

Her family first arrived on the Coast in the 1870s.

New treatment provides hope Islands free of predators A nurse who works with Waimea people who have hepatitis C says a new treatment is a fantastic development for people infected with the virus.

Bin Heaphy, a clinical nurse specialist who works across the Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough communities, says that only a few years ago people with hepatitis C had to undergo treatment that lasted up to a year, came with a range of unpleasant side effects and the success rate was as low as 20 per cent.

“The old treatment was horrendous, but this new one - it’s like a miracle,” she says of the latest treatment, which last eight weeks, involves only three tablets a day and comes with minimal side effects.

It does not require trips to hospital like earlier treatments, Bin says, as it can all be done through a GP. There are about 15,000 people around the country who know they have Hep C but are not being treated, with another 25,000 undiagnosed.

It’s estimated that in the Top of the South, there are about 1000 people with the virus.

Unfortunately, there is still

a huge amount of stigma attached to it, a lot of it undeserved.

Bin says it’s usually associated with intravenous drug use but there are a lot of other ways that it could be caught, from sharing shavers or toothbrushes and transferring blood that way, though to getting a tattoo or piercing with unsterile equipment.

People born between 1945 and 1965 have a higher risk factor, she says, as they were part of the free love and free drugs era that generation lived through.

Anyone who may have indulged in risky behaviour when they were younger and has not been tested for hep C should just accept what they did, move on and get tested as soon as possible, Bin says.

Although it’s possible they may receive the initial shock of a positive test, the virus has never been more beatable.

One of Bin’s past patients in the area, Anne, supports that advice.

It was only by chance that Anne discovered she had hepatitis C. One of her daughters, who was about 15 at the time had been in and

out of hospital but doctors could not work out what was wrong.

After seeing a private consultant, the whole family – Anne, her husband and two daughters – were tested for the virus and Anne and her 15-year-old tested positive.

Anne says her daughter would have been born with the disease through her, even though the odds of that happening are about 10,000 to one.

Anne does not know for sure when and where she became infected and until she was tested she had no idea she was a carrier.

She’s not alone in that, as it’s estimated there are about 50,000 people in New Zealand with the virus, and half of them have no idea they have it.

Anne says there were some very low moments over the next few years, made worse by drinking too much, and by 2010 she had decided her liver was dying so she may as well give up, much to the concern of her family.

However, after spending eight weeks in a Salvation Army Bridge programme, she was

able to deal with her alcohol addiction and was able to start a Hep C treatment programme the following year.

Although not that long ago, the difference in what the treatment entailed then to what is available now is huge.

Treatment took a year and involved 12 tablets a day, along with a weekly self-administered injection into the stomach. The side effects were horrendous, Anne says.

They included acute tiredness, little or no appetite, severe shivering even in warm temperatures and struggling to find anything to eat that did not make her want to throw up, she says.

What was worse, she says, was that even after undergoing the treatment for 12 months, there was no guarantee of the treatment being successful.

Anne was one of the lucky ones with the earlier treatment, and after 12 months she tested clear of the virus.

These days her whole family is clear of hep C. She says the latest treatment is “fantastic news” and encourages all people of the older generation to have a test.

Three Abel Tasman National Park islands are now predator-free again after a 2017 operation successfully eradicated mice on the islands, says the Department of Conservation.

Monitoring since the DOC operation has confirmed there are now no longer mice on Adele/Motuareronui, Fisherman/Motuareroiti and Tonga islands, which are used as predator-free sanctuaries for native species.

DOC is reminding island visitors that their help is crucial in keeping mice, rats and other pests off the islands so they remain safe for native species living there.

DOC operations manager Chris Golding says there a risk of mice and rats re-invading the islands through hitching a ride on visiting vessels.

“People planning to go to the islands should check before going out on the water that boats, kayaks, all bags, containers, food and gear are clear of mice, rats, ants, spiders or other animals.

“All clothing, footwear and gear should be free of soil and plant material, including seeds and foliage.

“We want people to enjoy the nature experience on the two islands that can be visited, Adele and Fisherman, but we need all visitors to make sure they don’t have stowaway pests onboard that could escape onto the islands.”

Local woman wins education grant For the past six years, Waimea Soroptimists have been giving an education grant to a local woman over the age of 25 who is studying at a tertiary institute.

The Soroptimist International of Waimea Education Grant has been made annually since 2013.

The grant is a sum of $3000 and goes towards a woman studying in a tertiary institute based in the Nelson-Tasman region.

Soroptimist International has a large focus on education for women, as it says educated women are more likely to leave a domestic violence situation and not return, be able to access healthcare, are less likely to live in poverty and be able to raise stronger, healthier families.

Waimea Soroptimists secretary Diane Thomsen says that “it is a key part of the Soroptimist mission to increase access to education.”

The recipient of the 2019 Waimea education grant is Shelly Roberts.

Shelly is in her third year, and is studying towards a Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (primary) at the University of Canterbury’s Nelson campus.

Shelly has been studying part time towards her degree since she began in 2016, while juggling a

Soroptomist Education Board member Lynne Johnston and scholarship recipient Shelly Roberts.

For five years, Shelly has been working part time as the sports

co-ordinator at Waimea Intermediate school. It was here that Shelly discovered that she loved

working with kids.

“The staff there are so supportive, and they inspired me to go

into teaching. I had some great friends and mentors who helped me through it.”

For Shelly, receiving the grant felt like a well-deserved culmination of hard work. “I worked part time for the last two years, while studying full time, and I’ve got six kids, so there’s always quite a lot to do.”

Shelly is currently on a teaching placement at Nelson Christian Academy, and is getting ready to graduate in October, and she says the grant has been a huge help. “It was really nice to get the email.

I was in the car, and I went onto my phone and ordered all my text books straight away. The scholarship has allowed me to change my role, I can work less now and do some relief teaching to get some more experience. It really takes some of the pressure off.”

Lynne Johnston, who is on the selection board for the education grant, says “We are delighted to have found Shelly. It couldn’t have gone to someone more deserving.”

For Shelly, her passion for teaching comes down to a single value.

“If you feel strongly that attitudes in society need to change – teach.

Teach kindness, and teach compassion.”

Earthquake roadshow to visit Murchison Just a thought...

‘Why?’ Why suffering? We are constantly confronted by suffering, so often random and unfair. Why does God allow such suffering?

Theologians and philosophers have wrestled for centuries with the mystery of undeserved suffering.

In the end we may never know the specific reason for our suffering other than to get to know the sovereign God who knows suffering.

He is defined as love. He alone offers hope and love, the greatest stabilising forces in the face of suffering and uncertainty.

Our suffering is also His suffering. He is not a distant God, but one who is very near and with us in our suffering.

At the centre of history and at the heart of the universe is the suffering of God Ross Ferguson on the cross. JeRichmond Community sus, predicting Church his own death,

said: “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed to some people who want nothing to do with God. They will murder him – and three days later he will be raised to life.” He was able to take the greatest evil ever committed and use it for the greatest good.

The biblical narrative is that whatever the enemy intends for evil, to create fear, hatred and division, God uses for good.

In all of life there will be pain and it’s about what we do with our pain.

Healthy religion is about what we do with our pain because we will have it.

That’s why the cross is at the centre of our religion as the symbol, the image of who alone can transform us.

It was Martin Luther King who had a dream that one day his children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Okirano Tilaia, Cashmere High School’s head student, gave a speech at a vigil held in remembrance of those who lost their lives in last week’s shootings and he said: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Let us have a dream that this tragedy can challenge us to tear down walls of mistrust and division and allow the anger and the pain and the betrayal that we feel to transform us, otherwise we will only transmit it.

A prayer of St. Francis of Assisi: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

“O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”

Amen.

A roadshow that aims to provide people with information on the likelihood and potential impact of a magnitude eight earthquake on the alpine fault will be in Murchison early next month.

The AF8 roadshow, The Science Beneath Our Feet, is visiting six South Island Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) regions in March and April, bringing together secondary students, scientists and CDEM in a

conversation about the alpine fault earthquake hazard and what the latest information means for communities.

Public talks are being held as part of the roadshow and in Murchison that will occur on Tuesday, April 9, the venue and time still to be decided.

Leading the Murchison discussion will be alpine fault scientist Dr Kelvin Berryman, who will talk about what the impact of an AF8 event might look like in the area, and will

showcase the latest research and developments in planning for the next alpine fault earthquake.

Kelvin is general manager, strategic relationships, for the Hazards Division of GNS Science.

A geologist by training, he now specialises in the geology of earthquakes and tsunami, in particular those associated with the Alpine Fault and Hikurangi subduction margin.

Scientists say the next major

Alpine Fault event is likely to occur within the lifetime of most of us, or our children and young people, for whom this is likely to have major short and long-term impacts.

Roadshow organisers say it is vital that communities not just understand the geology underneath their feet but also what science has to say about how to respond in the event of a large earthquake occurring, so they can prepare and take action.

Young fans meet premiership captains All eyes were on two young Brightwater netball fans as they met their Tactix and Mystics heroes on centre court at Sunday’s ANZ Premiership match at the Trafalgar Centre in Nelson.

Thirteen-year-old Olivia Shelling, who attends Waimea College, won the opportunity through the ANZ Future Captains competition to meet Jane Watson and Phoenix Karaka and lead the teams out onto centre court at the start of the match, live on SKY Sport. Thirteen-year-old Hayley Peterson, a friend of Olivia who also attends Waimea College, was able to join her for the exciting on-court experience.

“My favourite part was getting to high five the players,” Olivia says. “I hope I can be a Silver Fern when I’m older. Bailey Mes is my favourite player and I hope I can be as good as her one day.”

ANZ head of sponsorship, Sue McGregor, says the bank is committed to its support for netballers in New Zealand, whether it’s at the grassroots level or the professional athletes representing our very best, playing in the ANZ Premiership.

“That’s why we’re giving 94 kiwi children around New Zealand the chance to be part of the ANZ Premiership and meet their netball heroes as an ANZ Future Captain.”

The match saw the Tactix beat the Mystics by 52-48.

asm already.”

Two years ago, the wave pool was closed to be renovated, and the team said that the experience has given them some ideas as to how they can be innovative with the upcoming project, and how they can figure out how to best use the space that they already have.

The wave pool will be used during the morning and the day to replace some of the functions of the lane pool, such as Aqua fitness classes on one side and lane swimming on the other, and the Hydro pool will also hold several of the Aqua fitness classes.

Marketing co-ordinator Crystal Gaiger says that the wave pool was rarely used during the morning or the day, as “the kids are all in school anyway, so it just made sense to repurpose it.”

The wave pool will still operate as usual during after school hours and during the weekends.

Riverside pool will also be an option for swimmers, who can use their existing pool memberships there.

The lane pool closure comes not long after the centre had to close several of its other pools, in order to reduce its water use during the drought.

However, the Aquatic Centre is not wanting to waste its water and is looking with the council into ways that the water drained from the lane pool can be reused.

Quick & Easy Dinner

The 25-metre lane pool at the Richmond Aquatic Centre has temporarily closed, as the centre undertakes some much-needed repairs on the pool over the next few months.

The lane pool will be closed for two months, between March 25 and May 25, for scheduled retiling.

This process requires the pool to be completely drained. Current tiles will be removed and replaced. This time also allows for the essential drying time for the tiles to be met.

The work is required to improve the longevity of the pool, the Aquatic centre says. “There is no perfect time to do this” says Vaughan Hope, the facility manager. “At the end of the day, the investment is worth it. We have seen huge growth in pool use over the last few years, from Swimming to Aqua Health, to sports.” Vaughan describes the lane pool as one of the centre’s ‘biggest assets.’ “If you want it to last, you have to look after it.”

Vaughan says that growth for the facility has increased every year, growing from under 200,000 users annually eight years ago to over 300,000 last year.

“The end result is going to be really great for all of our users. We have seen a lot of support and enthusi-

Footballing twins off to Texas Tasman twins Libby and Ellie Moffat are travelling to Texas within the next couple of weeks to play for the New Zealand Secondary Schools girls’ football team.

The Waimea College pupils will compete in the Dallas International Girls Cup, one of the biggest youth football tournaments in the world.

The 15-year-olds - who will turn 16 while they are away - were selected for the team in September last year after their performances for Waimea College at the Gary Snowden tournament in Blenheim, a tournament the team won, going through unbeaten and winning every game by at least three goals.

They leave on April 10 and will be away for two weeks, which

includes pre-tournament training, the event itself, and a bit of sightseeing.

Their first four days in Houston will be taken up with team practices and getting to know their fellow team members, who they have never met before.

Libby, a goal-scoring winger, and Ellie, a goalkeeper, say they could not believe it when they heard they had been selected.

“It was crazy. We’re never been out of the country,” Libby says.

All their friends think it is “awesome”.

“They’re just as excited as we are.”

The girls have been playing football together for about 12 years, and turned out for Waimea Plains and Richmond Athletic, before the college side.

They have been practising as much as they can in preparation for the tournament, which will be the first time they have represented New Zealand.

Along with their parents, they would like to thank Stoke business Insite Windows and Doors for its financial support.

Mum Lisa says the cost of the trip is about $7000 for each of the girls, so support from Insite has proved invaluable.

Lisa also paid tribute to the spirit of the Waimea College girls’ team.

“Football is strong at the college and that team is an amazing bunch of girls.”

Also there when needed for Libby and Ellie is older sister Holly, now at university but who captained the college team last year.

Masters players prepare to play Australian sides Waimea hockey players are among those from the Hockey Nelson area selected for the 2019 New Zealand Masters teams to play in Australia next month.

More than a dozen men and women who play in Nelson Hockey Association competitions will travel to the Gold Coast for the annual Trans Tasman Challenge that runs from April 30 to May 4.

Regional development manager Tamara Dudley, who has been picked in the women’s 35-plus team, says teams were selected after the national tournament held in Hamilton from March 3 to 9.

Players had to express an interest in playing for the sides before the tournament, as they will cover their own costs.

It’s Tamara’s first Trans Tasman Challenge, although she went to the Masters Hockey World Cup

last year, where her team finished fourth.

About half that team is back for the Trans Tasman event which Tamara says will help, as this year there is no pre-tournament training camp in New Zealand before flying to the Gold Coast.

“We’re not going to be training until we get there, so it’s good that a lot of us have played together before.”

Local players have been selected for the men’s 65-plus, 60-plus and 50-plus sides, while in the women’s events local interest will centre on the 45-plus, 40-plus and 35-plus teams.

Each age group team plays their individual grade counterparts three times as part of the event, with results combined at the end to see who is the winner of the overall challenge.

Tasman hosting schools champs Tasman is hosting the South Island Secondary School Athletics Championships this weekend.

From Friday through to Sunday around 600 competitors will compete at the Saxton Field athletics track, including many young local athletes, most aiming to qualify for the national championships.

A programme of events was not available at the time of going to

press but will be available on the New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association website from Wednesday, March 26.

The pole vault is being held in Christchurch on Thursday, as there is not the capacity to do so in Tasman. It is being held on Thursday to give athletes the opportunity to enter other events over following days.

South Island Sidecar title clean sweep Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Adie Drake, 47n, picked up his second South Island Sidecar title on Saturday night with partner Kieran Satherley.

They dominated the show by winning all of their heats before victories in the semi-finals and final to claim the Ricks Tyre and Auto South Island title.

It was Satherley’s first Southern title, the pairing placing second here five years ago.

Their first big test was round four, when they faced the other unbeaten pairing of 8n Nippy Ching and Shaun Solly but after a false start the 47n pair got down to business and ran away with the win.

Sixteen pairs returned from the rained-out meeting two weeks ago and a perfect track made for some close racing.

The production saloon club champs were a nail-biter going into the final races, with series leader Kaylim McNabb left parked on the infield in the first heat, cutting down his points lead dramatically. However, a win in heat two gave him an eight point cushion going into the final race.

Although a rear grid start meant

he had to make up a few places to keep in touch with Vaughan Cornelius and Eddie Frans, who were battling out the lead, McNabb did enough to finish club champion after an eventful season, with Cornelius winning a run-off from Frans to decide second and third

overall.

The Super stocks were boosted with three visitors from Christchurch and the return of Trevor Lineham after an injury lay-off.

Wins went to a retiring Shane Harwood, Canterbury’s Tim Ross and Lineham. Brett Nicholls’

consistency gave him the closed club championship for the night, while Harwood beat Ross for second in a run-off.

The Youth Ministock grade ran their “Mania event”. A succession of “incidents” kept the referees busy all night, while the title was

eventually decided by a three-way run-off, the win going to Canterbury’s Ben Hern from club mate Maiah Bishop and local Brayden Skurr.

The street stocks hit to pass was taken out by Ryan Musgrove with more passing than hitting but it has been a busy few weeks for some of the drivers. The TQs had a few driver changes. Morgan Frost got a spin in the 7n Darkie Armstrong machine, winning both heats and the feature from Alicia McLauchlan, who made a good fist of the feature, coming up just short.

Cliff “Bald Eagle” Frost made a return to the track in Morgan’s car. The former stock car and modified driver had his wings clipped early, after he took flight in the opening laps of heat one, climbing the wall in turns three and four. A bit shaken, his return was ended for the night.

A busy night’s programme finished with a 39-car Donaldson Civil demolition derby. There were fires and smoke at both ends of the track, with the sheriff sent out to subdue a rampant Mandy Carter. The eventual winner with the last car going was Nicola Kitto, who was a late call-up to drive for the night after her sister couldn’t race.

A big thanks to...

U13 Baseball www.nelsonheatbaseball.org.nz The U13 Nelson Heat Baseball team is in the final throes of preparation for the upcoming Club Nationals tournament.

The team is investing in quality training sessions with coach Marty Grant ahead of the Auckland tournament which runs 4-7th April. There, 15 teams from around the country will battle for the title of New Zealand Club champs. The tournament

also doubles as the selection trial for the New Zealand U13 Ripken team which travels to the US to compete later in the year.

Nelson’s team is a combination of new and existing talent, selected from the club’s Heat Pump and Heat Wave teams. These teams have demonstrated their ability recently by taking first and second place at Christchurch’s Jim Kaat Invitational

tournament in a 9-8 final.

“Our club’s junior grades have seen exceptional growth this season, and there is plenty of passion for the game amongst the young players,” Marty says. “There’s a lot of potential here.”

Nelson Heat wishes to sincerely thank all the sponsors listed here for their generous support in getting this team to Club Nationals.

Rural road grading delayed due to fire risk Over the last six weeks lots of our work has had to be put on hold due to the extreme fire risk.

One area of activity that has significant risk of creating a spark is the grading of rural roads.

We appreciate some roads are overdue for grading, and we ask for your understanding at this time.

Once the fire risk has lessened, we'll start grading again but it will obviously take time to get all the roads graded.

We appreciate your patience.

Get involved in Tasman’s future With the help of the community, we’re planning for the future of Tasman District.

Growth projections for the next 30 years indicate we can expect to need an extra 14,000 homes in Nelson and Tasman, as well as extra business and commercial land to cater for demand. Tasman District and Nelson City Council have to decide where future homes, businesses and recreational space should go – but we can’t do that alone.

We need your help.

Decisions about where to allow housing and business growth are important and will change the shape of our communities in the coming years.

From 8 April to 6 May we’re running an extensive consultation programme to help us develop the joint Nelson Tasman Future Development Strategy. We want to hear your views on the options to help us make decisions that will refect the way Tasman residents want to live in future.

Richmond Aquatic Centre lane pool to close for retiling From 25 March to 25 May 2019, the lane pool at the Richmond Aquatic Centre will be closed while tiles are removed and replaced. All the other pools at the centre will remain open.

Several of the existing tiles on the lane pool are cracked or chipped and must be replaced to ensure the safety of everyone using the lane pool.We are looking at options for re-using the water in the lane pool when it is drained to allow for the tiling. Thanks for your patience while the work is carried out.

Change to Richmond water billing We’re changing the way we read meters and bill for water in Richmond, which may mean you receive your bill at a different time of year from usual.

In the past we have read all the meters for Richmond across a four-month period, with payment due at different times for different parts of Richmond.

From now on, all meters in Richmond will be read every April and October. Your water bills will be due for payment on 20 May and 20 November.

As a result, you may find your first bill this year is higher or lower than usual. This doesn’t mean you are paying any more or less than usual for water, it just reflects a longer or shorter billing period.

Public information sessions You’re invited to come along and chat with us to find out more about the options and share your thoughts.

Harriers improve

Two runners who have impressed over the past Waimea Harrier Eddyline 5km Races are Caleb Scott and Eddie Hohepa.

Caleb has taken part in the last five races, improving from two fourth places, followed by two thirds, then topping those with a first last Wednesday, in 18.30mins.

Over the last two races, Eddie has achieved a first and then a second place, finishing just two seconds behind Caleb.

This week is the last race of this very successful series and next Wednesday Athletics Nelson picks up the running of the next 5km series from the Turf Hotel in Stoke.

Saturday’s Run from the ‘Sands’ was a very challenging 6.5km on

the Port Hills, supposedly undulating, but really either steep uphill or downhill, including descending the 365 Tamaki Street steps.

Sergio Lobos and Brian Kemp fought hard at the front of the field for line honours, with Sergio finishing in 29.53mins, just 11 seconds ahead of Brian.

The top two women also pushed each other throughout, with Colette Read, 34 minutes, edging out Carys Coleman by just seven seconds.

Nelson athletes are looking forward to the inaugural 16km run, or twoperson relay, on this Saturday from Belgrove, following the Great Taste Trail through Spooners Tunnel and onto the new section of the trail down to Kohatu.

Club claims gold medal haul Last Saturday’s taekwondo tournament at Saxton Stadium was a great success, organisers say.

The event attracted about 100 competitors from around the country, ranging in age from six years to in their fifties, including a team from Fiji, who proved very popular and impressed everyone, and a strong team from hosts, the Richmond Taekwondo Club.

Spokesman Gavin Gallot says the event’s success could be measured across many levels.

“We were really happy with just how the day went overall,” he says.

Local competitors won 12 gold medals in sparring and anoth-

er four more golds in the patterns category, for a total haul of 16 golds.

The next most successful club won four golds in sparring and another two in patterns.

Richmond’s medals were spread across age categories.

This year’s Tasman, Nelson, Marlborough Taekwondo Championships was the first time the annual tournament was held at Saxton Stadium and Gavin says it proved to be a popular choice.

He says there was a lot of comment from everyone there about how much they liked the venue and that they hoped they could compete there again.

Gavin says the supportive en-

vironment that taekwondo prides itself on also shone through.

“It’s one big family really - both locally and around New Zealand.”

For organisers, after an event debrief they will turn their attention towards whether to host the tournament next year.

If that’s the case, it won’t be long before work on that begins.

In the meantime, it’s straight back into training for some Richmond club members, with competitors heading to tournaments in New Plymouth next weekend, Tauranga in three weeks and Oamaru in five weeks.

The lead runners head up Bisley Ave early in last week’s race. Photo: Pete Marshall
